Subject: Born of A Broken Man














(Drake, I don't normally do this, but let me do the homework you were suppose to do for you. I AM ANTON RAYGE, FORMER GLADIATOR, OLYMPIC, LEGION TAG TEAM AND TWO TIME FALCONER CHAMPION, YOU IGNORANT, BITCH ASS, BYTARDED, SON OF A BITCH!! Now that you realize that I am better than you could ever hope to be, lets recap on this whole thing. You are a piece of shit, served hotly to people that can kick your ass any day of the week.

 

I am Anton Rayge, your God. I have to admit, Drake, seeing your promo only reminded me of how mindless and stupid people can get in the GWA. But no worries, I guess it's ring rust. I have forgotten how champions can get all pompous and over confident. Drake, I think you should treat me a threat...a big threat...a very big one. I will make your life a living hell, I promise that, and many will tell you I keep well on my promises. Drake, if your to scared to face me, why no just say so? That's really the only explanation. Your scared, and that's fine.

 

Of course, everyone already thinks less of you because your a bumbling idiot. You see Drake Maxwell, I've also bled for titles, championships and gold...but I always did it to prove that I was the best. And I realize that I am, even without a title, but then people like you come along, flaunting that you have something you "worked so hard for", telling everyone that you beat so and so for it, that you defended it against this person and that...and I sit back and laugh.

 

True champions don't have to do such a thing. Drake, your a disgrace to that title, and I will make it my personal responsibility to make sure that a moment doesn't go by when your afraid to go to sleep, for fear that I will be in your dreams, or more horribly, there when you wake up, ready to take you out and do the whole world a favor.) - Anton Rayge 2.05.2002

 

...all of this Antion and you could not even leave out childish threats, how pitiful...

 





 

(-Man gives up a lot of things for pride, whether it is at a job for a local software company. Or on the gridiron of a grassy plain, divided by lines of 10 yards, the field stretches 120 feet from end zone to end zone. Warriors step onto this field in different conglomerate across the United States. Pride judged on this field is decided by how many big plays a person can come up with to define you as a hero. This occurs every Sunday from September to February. Moving away we come towards the alternate battlefield. One decided inside a squared circle with 3 ropes upon all four sides with post on each edge connecting the ropes. The lights laminate, the crowd roars to a deafening sound, cheering for the guy you acts more like them and doesn?t have a cocky attitude to back it up, or cheer for the bloodshed. Moving away from the wrestling ring, we move to a swamp marsh, a desolate city, for which buildings and areas, which show significant importance, are scattered by pieces, some on the brink of total collapse. Men with weapons and tin hats with mesh coverings of their body walk through this area. Some frightened some that have seen everything possible. And some that openly would want to shoot the first thing they actually see. Bullets are heard flying, men screaming out in pain. The blood, the destruction, the apathy for man?s soul, the crescendo of death is beautiful for it plays like an angelic symphony. Simply, this matter this global cause to stop another from gaining power is called in simple term effects, war. Plaguing each and every one of us. These battlefields shed the simple fact that pride is decided on these fields. But, pride could be taken a little bit too seriously. For one single mistake could change the way we see ourselves as a humanity. We've killed on the football field, on the battlefield of war, and inside of the squared circle. Death creeps around us at every walking moment. Defining death is just as complicated as defining pride. Its consent envy's the noblest man to a furious passion. Most of us think that we have everything figured out. That we are the center of attention towards everyone else, becoming a big shot, teaching others what you have learned. An entity of one's self being. Actually seeing them as something they are not. Everybody wants to prove something, that they are the cream of the crop. That one man is standing over all others victorious on the battlefield. Some of us however can't even grasp the concept of what to actually do in a wrestling ring. What a person shall do with words, may not do in action. Thy self is complicated thy pride is questionable. Thy self is afraid of what he can and cannot do, showing others that he is not a person who loses and doesn't learn from these losses. Pride, one man's goal, which is another man's problem.


I cannot look back at the past and give it such a true light, for the past taps into my present. Coming into Tuesday night, I have had to think about some things in which pain and suffering is also in part of victory. John Grim, the man I have known so much from the man who has taken a stand with me in the Union issue and now here I am broken from the battles with Assassin. The difference from it all is that I have found a niche sort of. I did what was needed yesterday, I defeated Erick Caine Saturday and now with Grim, I have to defeat him, then go on from there to finish Lombardi.




It is the best of times, it is the worst of times, it is the age of wisdom, it is the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, and it was the epoch of incredulity. It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it is the spring of hope, and it is the winter of despair. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, and we were all going direct to Heaven. We were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only







[...The day, the night, the tears, the fight...]







Let us begin on the subject where we found ourselves time ago,  myself taking on John Grim for my Maximus championship. Although you seem not worried John, be in that state of mind Wednesday night, for it will be your first and only shot. Let it ring out through the town square that one single tide changed everything. Every single thing inside of myself changed, what was it? Nevermind, for what purpose did it have right now? Was it significant towards the current or what it a part of the past leeching out trying to create its own presence







[...My ups, my downs, my slips, my falls...]







Chris Lombardi was nothing short of an egomaniac whose only creed to life was causing trouble and being a hang on to someone else's glory. . The man was nothing to deal with, simple pure unadulterated crap steaming from the bag. He thrived upon being an ass, towards himself, towards the people around him. He was just another person with a large chip on his shoulder riding one single accomplishment into the ground. What was it, just winning that World title? That damn belt created an even bigger piece of his mind inflated by shit I guess, so you can say this, shit happens.







[...The sh*t hit the ceiling, little boy with no feelings...]







What have you done is this Chris, you have just started your ego trip and now I am quite  sick and tired of it, the rambling about how big you are and how this is nothing more than your world. How your future not being stretched out by simple people who happen to love you. No, Frankie this is not business between yourself and me, no this is personal more about what you've done long enough to be tolerated by some of us. Now it begins Chris, the last castle of your sanity is about to fall Chris and you are going to just trip over yourself inside of the ring Chris, do not think it would not happen. Its is just like some of us who happen to be here just to try and understand their peers in a way where we can be similar towards them. Chirs Lombardi, you have been called up to take on a path for which I do not think there is a turning point or a revolution towards, for this is the New Deal and the Depression is about to be wiped out in a fell swoop. It will end  Chris all of this feeble crap that most of us think is the inevitable, the thing you least expect, Chris this is the last call for you my friend, expect the unexpected.



[...And the circling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance...]











The week began with the simple thoughts of victory caressing my mind it ended with something I always would have wanted to have. The thought of having fear placed into someone's heart, a feeling I?d never encompass until now. How turbulent my life is it is now not a single matter until today. Was it something I had not counted on, it was a blessing in disguise for me as the end of the last week progressed? First I had tasted victory into a match, although I felt pain inflicted upon me for it though victory tasted sweet.


History Lombardi? You are not apart of history you can call your own. After all its following the pattern my friend, I attack you, you attack me, and now its back to you. I know it may not be one of the things you would like to do after a reverse hurricanrana but I hope I did not damage you and made the fragility of yourself tainting the match. You just happen to be another one in the path, you may not want for this to happen Chris, but it will do not fret such a end towards our saga. It may do you some good as we step into the ruminations and find ourselves on the clock for it is now that we end this.


Anton, first of all I see you understand just what I said and then more, it's nice that you even have good listening skills after all that you've gone through. Was it me or did I already notice just who in the world your mission and your name was? I mean I could tell by the biography that you were missing the Maximus title for Grand Slam status and right now I am having it. You can thank the talent if you wish to try and make your simple automatic childish threats. For one, you are not god for really if you were could you have been a 2x champion? Meaning you would have had to atleast lose something once to get that achievement and God's are perfect Anton. To be such a great champion of everything Anton, I must say you sure do make alot of claims and some which are just flat out wrong. GOD is not in your job description Anton and surely you are nothing to me. I've faced your type before, I'VE BEATEN types like you before, so don't get me started on the moment of just who the fuck you happen to be. Now, I wasn't declining anything Anton for I'd gladly take your HISTORIC ass on and just show you why in the world I am here, matter of fact why I have this belt. So Anton, it's all in the Union's hands and if you want me inside that ring, take it up with them and please believe through that fake monkier of LEGEND STATUS head of yours that, fear is a four letter word, just like liar and shit, a piece of what you happen to be.






I now find myself with a new opponent on the horizon, a man whom I've just found nothing but pain and desecration towards what he happens to work for. He has become something I thought he would understand and cast off from his spirit, but that is not the case now. He is nothing more than a corporate shills someone I would never associate myself with. But when it began, he started the new wave revolution inside me. He began this thing when his grasp upon the title ended the match, it all is to culminate at Redemption, the man will perish to his own demons and my reign atop the spire will commence. That man simply can be known as myself.



The demons, ravage, hurting sacrifices to me - those 6 words all can be associated with him, although the man's ego is little to bear as of the current moment, I continue to fight him each minute, he knows this. I even took him through "malice" by accounts of my foot and his chin. They have met and now every one of us has met, it is something very fond of him...that smile resting upon the shoulder of the bastard. Soon in a matter of 10 days, there will be a change in this entire place, the satire will change from being about ego maniacs to just what it is actually: wrestling. I have not seen the man in a match since him versus Erick Caine or Assassin, I choose to attack at the appropriate time. The man's spirit has been broken, and at the land of Redemption it will all be destroyed.














Born of a broken man
But not a broken man
Born of a broken man
Never a broken man







Like autumn leaves
His sense fell from him
An empty glass of himself
Shattered somewhere within
His thoughts like a hundred moths
Trapped in a lampshade
Somewhere within
Their wings banging and burning
On through endless nights
Forever awake he lies shaking and starving
Praying for someone to turn off the light









[...The cold February wind hits his body, yet his felt none of it, for you see an uncaring soul like him takes weather as apart of his feelings. It was a little like something he did not vary on, the emptiness of victory over another, but soon enough he would gain victory once more. His hair swayed around during the light breeze. He sat there looking towards his future and everything else over the horizon. It was something special to be apart of winter weather, something he called beauty, but now the blood of beauty had been tainted, with the sorrow and pain of loss...]


[...He sat on the edge of the rooftop, the light snow drizzling down his face, he could see all of it coming down. His face looked emotionless as he sat there, the light of the sun had been blanketed by the dark clouds above him, he could not resist thinking of what to do after all of this happened to be over, it was something to think about. He still continued his silence something unadulterated by others soon a booming voice behind him disrupted all of his trained sense of thought...]







Voice- Drake?



[...Soon it was broken all of it as the now feminine voice called out towards him, he turned around and saw the auburn beauty standing before him, he smiled gently towards her, her eyes glimmering with hope and dreams aspiring. He finally got up from his sitting position and embraced her with his arms, it was something he had longed for in a while, the touch of a friend. The woman just called unto him and he responded accordingly towards it all. Soon after this was over, the fleeting memories of it would be replaced by their collective memories, now it was to being his words, the words of the Fallen Angel...]







Drake- Amy, been a few days hasn?t it?



Amy- Yeah, if you call a few days short, looks like you have had an awful few days.







[...Drake sighs...]



Drake- Awful is not the half of the story my friend, I had to do something I lusted for, something that changed this entire thing a few notches from being just maybe some cry for help, into something I believe in my heart is the right thing to do.







[...Amy places her hand upon Drake?s shoulder, his head knelt onto her shoulder. She cupped the back of his head and patted it, his eyes closed across her blouse. He could not try to let it all out, the emotions pulling out of him, but rather he held it in...]



Amy- Something wrong?



[...Drake lifted his head upward looking at her face...]







Drake- Nothing, nothing at all happens to be wrong at the moment.



Amy- Why do you say that?







Drake- Because, I've infuriated the dear Union so much in the past week that weak has thought cleverly enough to take part in home security. When I happened to attack him inside of a locker room, it was not at his home. I think the man?s ego does not want a single part of me. I think they've enlisted protection because he is scared of me.







Amy- You think you?ve made him mad, think about it you've made a lot of people mad at you.



[...Drake chuckles towards himself...]







Drake- I haven't made people mad, people are mad at me, because of the simple fact that this, that I've accomplished something and they have not, it is something I do not think that they understand, for they are just caught in their own lies and allegations. Assassin is mad because I happened to shut his yapping mouth for once and he gets home security. I take Chris Lombardi into something and look now, look at Lombardi now, think just how Lombardi has been elevated just from history. Not to be egotistical or anything, but history made Chris Lombardi in this place. It took me realizing Lombardi... faults to make him find this new aggression inside of him. I find it sympathy or more rather apathy towards him about this entire situation. So tomorrow night when all of this is done between him, and me I hope he understands why he is now not what he used to be. When the match is over and the fans are on their feet, he needs to understand just who made him, what he happens to be and something he needs to truly realize.



[...Amy has a look of shock on her face as if this was not the man she originally met at the Moderation Management meetings he found him in. This was not the Drake Maxwell she knew; rather it was some egomaniac coming out and speaking his words. She gasped, but he continually stared at her wondering what was wrong. Why did she look the way she did...]







Drake- You find fault in what I just said Amy?



Amy- Yes, first off you're sounding like the egomaniac you never want to become, and now it is coming from you, the lips are speaking what something with a huge ego would say.







Drake- I...



[...He could not finish his sentence, it was something he was wanting to finish, but his voice would not let him as he knelt his head down in shame, for it was something he thought would never happen, the day he was turning into a egomaniac. So he changed direction in his path, he started to look at the sky, the dimly lit sky and saw nothing more than beauty. There were hurried words of farewell and kindness, but the parting was soon over. It was the incident of every day, and the society of his thoughts were engaged in the preparation of some games of forfeits and a little concert, for that evening...]







Drake- Last night, I found myself entangled in a web of my actions and how were they justifiable, I think I can say this for myself, I think about it now and humor crosses my lips. Nothing but humor in these two men who think that with something, a piece of the puzzle, that they are better than me just because of the repertoire of what they happen to own. Last night came with a dream and ended with a nightmare, no not like a nightmare that scares you, but it was something that found me, a guided light.



Last night came towards me with some simple thought in mind, it was something that made the day better. It was my leap of faith and I found what none of the other people around me saw inside myself, except potential. I found something that had to be done. Something I had to just touch upon. Some I can call guidance. No it was not a cult, or anything of that nature, but I found out that during my entire wrestling career, that one thing continue to haunt me, my past.







My past played such a ravaging part in my current state of affairs and my past in now going to tell them their fate. The Union, Chris Lombardi as merciful as he thinks he is in a state of security will come towards myself.







This begins to be something I think will turn out into a beautiful relationship.







[...Its quite odd a feeling of what Drake has said, but after all can we contemplate what Drake thinks now? You can take from adaptation that well, Drake has his ways and all of those things are quite complicated each and every one of them. Each single moment he thinks of, every actual thought is one of a poet, you never can decipher when Drake strikes on something. As we all know, when Drake strikes it leaves a resounding impact on someone. Now, it causes you to think, just what does Drake have up his sleeve...]












My fears hunt me down
Capturing my memories
The frontier of loss
They try to escape across the street where
Jesus stripped bare
And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture
In the name of my
In the name of my





{Chorus}
