How fuckin’ cute.
Not a single person in this world can say that WESLEY standing across the ring from CARTER SHAW at Turmoil wasn’t electric. The epitome of how every little thing over the course of 2 years can lead to one single moment. 2 years ago, Philidor Holdings and The Following went to war over territory. 2 years ago on this very Turmoil show, WESLEY was IN that Wrestler Of The Year finals match. Did he come up short? Yeah, sure, ofcourse he did. BUT. He was there. And Wesley had managed to build his career to that point on the simple, effective strategy of…being there.
Until he wasn’t. And when he wasn’t? He was forgotten in AW lore just as quickly as he was remembered this past Sunday. Wesley was great. Wesley is great. Whoever in AW decided to let the standard 30-minute match time limit stand for Turmoil was surely sitting with head in hand when that bell rang out with Wesley and I just getting started. Wesley was there for the eyes tuning in for the open challenge that Carter Shaw laid out, and now he gets to lay claim to a grand return unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Right. Unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the last 3 weeks, ofcourse. Because Wesley once again got a chance to capitalize on the intrigue created by others. He rode the coattails of my return for his, just like he rode Kyle Kemp’s ability to hype and stir with The Following.
My career went everywhere Wesley’s seemed destined to, ever since one single date. One event. A million little things leading to one single moment.
January 11th, 2021.
But we don’t have to talk about that.
We don’t have to talk about the reasons why Carter Shaw and Wesley tag teaming in a Clash main event on December 5th, 2022 is some Edgar Allen Poetic shit.
Instead, let’s talk about what’s about to happen. Fresh off of a 30-minute draw classic, the returning sons go from staring daggers from opposite corners of the ring to standing in the same corner. Our names on a Clash match card once again, this time in the vein of Battlebowl.
And the Supermarks? Well they’re gonna be the appropriate personification of our collective rust. And when you watch just how calculated and efficient Wesley and I wreck these placeholders, you’ll connect the dots on that statement in the a-ha moment of ‘...oh, I get it, the rust is nonexistent’. Just like the fuckin’ chances these 2 Omega Wrestling rejects have of making even the slightest mark this Monday Night.
Clash will close with 2 familiar faces in familiar victory fashion, and some glorious questions will remain surrounding the two of us after a tag team win. “Whose shockwaves will be bigger? Whose return will reach height enough to leave the other in its shadow? Can Shaw return to the former glory of World Titles and Havoc success? Can Wesley do something…ya know, a little more this time, or will the reign as United States Champion be his single brick of legacy?”
Time will tell on all that, but I tell ya what. I felt fucking great in that match at Turmoil last week. Zero issue with the ankle, zero issue with conditioning, zero issue with taking on someone I wasn’t able to immediately gameplan for…we could have gone for another hour until I found a way to drop Wesley on his head enough fuckin’ times to put him down for the 3.
The Supermarks got to win their cute little battle royal at Turmoil and have a moment of spotlight in an Action Wrestling ring. Outlasting such bonafide legends as the Schorg Bros and the Lucha World Order…
What a taste.
But then one week after, you get the spotlight that’s a little more akin to…the broiler setting. Because as high as you’re feeling off of your ‘outlasting’ victory?
This Monday, you go up against the man that won the 2022 Havoc Rumble in me. You go up against the man who won Battlebowl in 2020 in Wesley. You go up against the man who won the All-In ladder match in 2020 in me and the last man I shoved off a ladder to do so in Wesley.
We know a thing or ten about being the last man standing, and every single instance of us getting the job done? It just a sweet little reminder of how busch league you fuckers are.
Welcome to Action Wrestling, Supermarks.
Just in time for a little old guard welcoming committee to form.
