-The last week of August is going by quicker then Paul 'Big Show' Wight wants. He is having so much fun traveling the country but it is close to school starting and the kids always have come first to him. However, he decides that one more mandatory trip outside his "work" schedule for EBWF can be allotted. He goes to the study and grabs a book about the "legends" of wrestling. He sits down in his favorite chair and flips through it trying to find someone particular he finds himself but keeps going and he reaches the last page before closing the book.-
You know "Hardcore" Holly I really thought for once you were telling me the truth about you being a legend. You claim to be one of the best but yet you are nowhere in any wrestling books I have and it made me wonder as to why. It finally dawned on me that you are part of the group no one really cares about and I plan on proving it soon enough but first let me grab one more book and see if I can find you.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight puts the one books away and grabs another one called "The biggest crybabies of wrestling: he flips to the first chapter and there is the name he has been wanting to see.-
There you are "Hardcore" Holly right where you belong as the biggest crybaby throughout your history in this business. I am sure you would disagree because other than crying your only other contribution in your life is bitching about everything and how you feel "disrespected". My view on that Holly is how can you be "disrespected" when no one knows who you are or cares about you.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight rips out the page and slides it into his pocket as he picks a bag and has lunch with the family before kissing them goodbye as he sits in his car and makes his way to the airport. He gets out at BWI and books a flight to Glendale, California. He gets on the plane and takes a seat in the back.-
Well, my journey to prove just how worthless you really are Hardcore has begun. It says on your biography page that Glendale is your birthplace but yet I am going to say that no one has heard of you. Time will tell for sure just how right or wrong I am.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight catches a nap on the long flight to California. He arrives after about five hours as he gets off the plane and rents a car for the week not sure how long everything will take. He grabs something to eat and begins driving. He notices the welcome to Glendale sign but no recognition of "Hardcore" Holly. He gets out of the car wearing his blue jeans, boots and a white shirt and takes a picture of himself in front of the sign. He proceeds to the welcome center in downtown Glendale and he walks inside after he parks the car. He walks over to a young lady at the facts about Glendale section and speaks with her.-
Big Show- Excuse me ma'am I was curious to know something about this area.
Lindsay- Sure what can I help you with?
-He pulls out the page from the book and shows it to Lindsay-
Big Show- Have you ever heard of or seen this man? He was born here and claims to be a legend.
-She shakes her head-
Lindsay- I have been here fifty years and that name does not sound familiar to me at all. Should I add him to the city history?
Big Show- No please don't I would not want this beautiful city to poison their history by associating with a man like this. I am sure you can understand.
Lindsay- Of course and good luck with finding something about him I am sure it does exist just have to wonder where.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight shakes Lindsay's hand and grabs some water for the road trip ahead of him. He gets back in the car and notices on the biography he moved to Oregon and he went to high school there. He puts in a GPS address for the high school as he begins the long haul to Grant Pass, Oregon. He listens to music and takes in the coastal highway view on the eleven-hour drive as he finally reaches the town and the high school. He makes his way inside speaking to one of the administration.-
Big Show- I need to know who has been here the longest? I am looking for information on someone.
Bill- That would be Mr. Guido. He is the wrestling coach and has been here 28 years he is currently in his office I can show you the way if you would like.
Big Show- Of course
-Bill takes Paul 'Big Show' Wight on a maze of hallways until he reaches the office of Mr. Guido Paul 'Big Show' Wight walks in and has a seat to wait for him. Bill goes back and has him paged to his office for a guest. Mr. Guido appears as the two men shake hands and the wrestling coach has a confused look on his face.-
Guido- I know who you are but what are you doing here talking to me?
Big Show- Well it was a last minute decision to do this but my opponent is Hardcore Holly or as you may know him as Rob Howard.
Guido- Oh yes I remember Robert. He always had the potential to be great but not sure what happened to him.
Big Show- Well I know what happened to him he became a washed up loser who obviously no one knows anything about. You see he just recently signed with the same company I am with and he has been proclaiming his greatness ever since he arrived. What do you think about him saying he is great?
Guido- Well the way I remember him is that mouth of his always got him in trouble so for that reason I guess he is great for having a mouth on him but outside of that, he has wasted his life.
Big Show- I would agree with you there that his mouth is certainly what makes him famous but the problem with him is that he can never back what he says up unlike myself. I plan to make him pay for everything he has said. What kind of wrestler was he as a student?
Guido- He could never show up on time and he never wanted to listen. He thought he knew it all so I just let him have a reality check because sometimes that is the best medicine around.
Big Show- I agree with you completely there and I do thank you for your time I need to get going though because I still have a few more spots to go.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight stands up and shakes his hand before leaving his office. He makes his way back to the entrance and signing a few autographs for the staff before he goes. He gets in his car and heads to a local hotel to rest considering he drove through the night to get here. He puts down his things and lays down as he falls asleep. He awakens later in the evening and grabs a pen and writes in his journal as he grabs it from his bag.-
Dear Journal
Hardcore seems to be missing and maybe, in reality, his name is Holly and he was just too ashamed by the girl name to be seen in public so he added the hardcore part to sound more badass. What the truth is behind Hardcore Holly I will expose it that is my mission here and why I want to show the world he is a fraud. He thinks he knows wrestling and about kicking ass but in reality, he is weak and has to lie in order to be noticed because no one cares what he has to say.
Sincerely
Paul 'Big Show' Wight
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight packs up the journal and freshens up as he hits the road again. He heads to the airport once again as he prepares for his final stop before heading to the arena for Summerslam. He catches the first flight to Dubuque, Iowa. He arrives in a few hours as he steps off the plane and as he walks through the lobby he sees a sign that says Dubuque, Iowa home to Hardcore who? Paul 'Big Show' Wight just laughs and takes a selfie with the sign and that is all he needed to see as he catches a flight home real quick to grab a "special" outfit and then makes his way to Atlanta, GA. He finds his way to the arena and walks inside. He puts down his bag when suddenly there is a knock at his door.-
Big Show- Come in
Michael Cole- Good evening Big Show I know you have a tight schedule and I promise not to keep you long. I just wanted to ask you a few questions. The first one is how are you feeling about tonight knowing the winner is number one contender?
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight takes the microphone and brings it to the edge of his lips-
Big Show- Listen I have had quite the week and I am glad that Summerslam is finally here because I am tired of all the talking and complaining being done by Hardcore Holly. Does he have a chance to win of course he does but that is not said out of respect. I say that because I know how the business aspect of this can be and on any given day something can happen that we least expect. I am choosing to stay humble because it is more beneficial to me.
-Micheal Cole brings the microphone back-
Michael Cole- What would you say the biggest concern is going into the match tonight? Hardcore really did a number on your back do you feel that will be a factor.
Big Show- Honestly I really feel that my back will not be an issue. Once the energy and adrenaline start flowing it will be hard to stop me and any pain I do have will not be noticeable until after the match. He may try to use everything he can for this match considering it is an anything goes match and that is fine he can have it his way. When I beat him at his own game he will be shocked and realize that there is nothing hardcore about him except him running that damn mouth of his which I plan to shut for a while after tonight.
Micheal Cole- One more question for you how seriously do you take Hardcore Holly tonight I am sure everyone has a difference of option
Big Show- I am glad you ask just how serious I take him. Give me one minute, please.
-He closes the door to his locker room and you can hear him changing he finishes up and he opens the door and there he is standing before Micheal in denim overalls with no shirt and a straw hat with a piece of hay in his mouth. He grabs the microphone and speaks mocking Hardcore Holly-
Big Show- Well, Micheal, my name is Hardcore Holly and I suck at this wrestling thing but I am here to kick some ass. Big Show better watch himself because I have a chair calling his name.
-He rips the hat off and spits out the hay and looks into the camera as the microphone touches his lips again.-
Big Show- That right there should show you how serious I am about him. He does not worry me in the slightest and if he does win then I will be man enough to admit I got it wrong but I do not see it happening. Things are a lot different this time around because normally I do not need anything but my hands to destroy my opponent but since it is legal I figure why not use weapons to my advantage. Hardcore has truly bitten off more then he can chew this time.
-Paul 'Big Show' Wight walks by Micheal Cole as he notices on the wall there are three items leaning there. A sledgehammer, chair, and a baseball bat. He walks over grabs each of the items trying to figure out which one he wants. He grabs the sledgehammer and the chair and finds Hardcore Holly locker room door as he sets up the chair and when Hardcore opens the door he strikes the chair with the sledgehammer as it breaks in half. Paul 'Big Show' Wight looks at Hardcore and just smiles as he walks away.-
