~With Paolo~

Before I could go to the arena for a show, I was given a call from Maki about something.

Me: Guys, I gotta take this.

Tama: Go ahead bro.

I went to somewhere quiet as I had to answer the phone.

Me: 真紀？ (Maki?)

Maki: それはあなたの父です！ (It's your father!)

Me: 待ちます。 何が起こっているの？ (Wait. What's going on?)

Maki: それはエリートです。 彼らは彼の腰を破った！ (It's The Elite. They broke his hip!)

My. Fucking. Heart. Dropped. The hip he had surgery on was broken again thanks to the Elite

Me: 現時点ではどうですか？ (How is he at the moment?)

Maki: 彼はたくさんの痛みをしていて、彼はあなたを必要としています。 彼はどこにいるのか尋ねています！ (He's in a lot of pain and he needs you. He's been asking where you are!)

I needed to get to flying to Miami as quickly as possible because I've seen how much pain my father was in when he had his hip broken before and I know that it was going to get worse.

Maki: 飛び越えてください。 あなたがそこに行くとき、私たちはマイアミにいます。 (Please fly over. We'll be in Miami when AEW goes there.)

Me: 私は今飛行に乗ります。 私は1日または2日にそこにいるよ I'll get on a flight right now. Tell him I'll be there in a day or two.)

Maki: 私はします。 (I will.)

I hung up as I headed to Gedo and the BC with my eyes watering. He could tell, something was wrong.

Gedo: Paolo、あなたは大丈夫ですか？ (Paolo, are you okay?)

Me: それは私の父です。 彼のヒップはケニーと彼のおにぎのおかげで壊れた。 (It's my father. His hip got broken thanks to Kenny and his goons.)

Gedo: ああ私の神々！ あなたは先に行き、ここから出る。 家族がもっと重要です。 (Oh my Gods! You go ahead and get out of here. Family's more important.)

Me: ありがとうGEDO。 (Thanks Gedo.)

I bro hugged him before packing my suitcase and went to the airport.

~19 Hours Later~

I finally made it to the airport and I saw Maki waiting by a taxi. She was waving to me as I had to go over to where she was and hugged her as tight as I could. She returned it as we had to get in the taxi and go to the hospital where my father was.

We finally made it to the hospital and we were lead to his room. When we got there, I was unprepared for what I'm about to see.

In his hospital room, I saw one of the founders of All Elite Wrestling, Tony Kahn and he looked visibly upset about my father being in a hospital room.

Konnan: Hey, son.

Me: Hey papa.

I hugged him as he did the same and I needed to let him know that I'll hang out with him.

TK: You probably already know me, but I'll introduce myself to you. Name's Tony Kahn, one of the founders of AEW.

Me: Nice to meet you, Tony.

TK: Likewise.

Me: What happened to my father?

TK: You can tell the story, Konnan.

Konnan: I was in the ring doing a promo segment on Kenny and his little hoes, letting them know that their victories over the past year were flukes and nothing else, but then they attacked me. Kenny grabbed a chair and started attacking my hip until I felt the screws broke. Over here, the MRI told me I needed to have a hip replacement.

I was so enraged that I wanted to kill every single person in the Elite. Maki came next to me and held my hand out of support. I just couldn't take it for my father to be injured and almost lose the ability to walk for the rest of his life.

Once I faced Tony, I had to ask, which is hypocritical of me because the Bullet Club despises the Elite, but I'm only doing this for my father.

Me: Hey Tony.

Tony: Yeah?

Me: You signing anyone at the moment?

~One Week Later~

At the arena where the Miami Heat play, I hid myself from everyone because I want to create some shock and make the entire Elite shit their pants.

I asked TK if I could do a promo on Don Callis, the perpetrator of The Elite and he gave me permission to do so. I also asked if I could have a match with Kenny since he's the World Champion for a very stipulation, which he accepted and TK also said that if the numbers are too much for me, I could bring in a couple members from the BC to help me out.

Once Don was out there in the ring, he was going to call out his Dirty Sanchez wannabe to the ring, but I'll be taking his place.

Don: Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the God of Professional Wreatling, your AEW World Champion, KENNY OMEGA!

As he said the name, this theme played.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Everyone in the entire arena just came unglued when the Bullet Club theme played as I overheard JR, Tony S, and Excalibur explode on commentary.

Tony S: Oh my God.

Excalibur: Oh no. I think I know who it is!

JR: Seems like this is not Kenny Omega but someone else!

When I entered, everyone exploded and they knew that I wasn't playing around because I wasn't. And Callis, he was in shock. He didn't know that I was coming to Miami to confront The Elite, but here I am.

JR: HE'S HERE!

Tony S: Don Callis is in shock because that young man is the IWGP Intercontinental Champion, the member of the Bullet Club, and the son of Konnan, Paolo Cristo!

Excalibur: This is un-be-lievable!

I walked down to the ring and went through the ropes before grabbing a mic. I still burned a hole in his head, but instead of being scared of me, he smiled his evil smile.

I've seen this smile before and this ain't nothing new to me. My uncle was like this before he met his untimely demise so I'm going to pretend that Callis is my abusive uncle and I'm finally coming face to face with him.

Don: So you're here for a reason? Well, I'll let you go first since you want to get things off your chest and maybe, maybe I'll convince you to join us instead of that group of lowlifes.

I knew he was gonna play mind games and I don't need to join him and his group of jackoffs because I already am a part of the best faction in professional wrestling: the Bullet Club.

I lifted my mic and started speaking as people were not expecting me to talk.

Me: So you think you can try to impose your will on me since I'm a Young Buck like you have done to the entire Elite, but guess what amigo, that won't work on me because I've been beaten, bruised, had a leg broken, had two concussions, but I'm still fighting and unlike Kenny, I don't cower behind my brethren like the little bitch he is.

That immediately got everyone invested as I kept coming with the punches.

Me: Here's something for you to know, my dad's been wrestling before you could even try to lace up his boots in WCW and I'm here tonight instead of Japan because your boys broke my father's hip, where he had surgery years ago. He means the world to me and for you to disrespect and almost made him lose the ability to walk for the rest of his life made me sick. He may be resting in his hospital room, but I'm here in his place and you can try to say differently all you want, because the joke's on you: it's not gonna work since you can't get into my head and change my mind.

He was silent as I continued. After he put my adoptive father in the hospital for his broken hip, I've been wanting to come over here and speak my mind about this.

Me: Konnan might not be my biological father, but he treats me like I'm his son because we have a bond that's called love, and there's nothing you can do to change it. Here's another thing, you call Kenny Omega the God of Pro Wrestling, but he's gonna meet the Devil, okay?

I'm sorry if I'm not saying things unclearly but what I just said is a punch! You know, God vs Satan, angels vs demons, heaven vs hell, it's a triple entendre. That's a punch!

After telling him what I just said, Don's trying to interrupt me, but I have to shut him up.

Me: And no, you're not gonna cut me off because I got something for you to know in regarding your champion so you shut your pie hole or I'll put a cork in it.

He kept quiet until he started smiling like the delusional son of a bitch he is.

Me: Everyone in AEW can't get the job done because your boys don't know when to stay out of the picture.

He was smiling in such denial that I have something for him.

Me: Yeah, smile all you want Voldemort but listen to me: once I kill Kenny, I'll be called "You bastard", and you'll be happy to know that everyone else gets an opportunity while you can comfort your little Golden Lover, alright?

He was about to talk and I know that I'm not looking forward to hearing him talk some more.

Don: That is never gonna happen because Kenny is the God of Professional Wrestling while you're just his peasant. Once you step in the ring with him, you'll be done. You can't fight him for the title and you will never be elite like The Good Brothers, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega. This is All Elite Wrestling, not New Japan Pro Wrestling so you can fly back to Japan where your group is inferior to The Elite.

He's wrong about the last part, but this is about to get good.

Me: How about this Don: I signed a two year deal with AEW, so that means I get to kick Kenny's ass twice as hard, also...

Crowd: OOOOOOHHHH!!!

Me: I talked to Tony Kahn and he had an interesting idea: I get a match with your Golden Lover for the World Title, but in order for the match to be fair, The Good Brothers, Young Bucks, or any other goons that you put under your influence must be barred from ringside because here's the stipulation, if any of them try to intervene, not only will Kenny be disqualified, he'll lose the title!

Everyone in the crowd lost their fucking minds and JR was going crazy on commentary!

JR: Ok! That is smart!

Tony S: You're right, JR, Paolo knows how to play a big game like this.

Me: So how about it? Is your false God of Pro Wrestling a man, or is he a little Canadian bitch!

Everyone in the entire arena knew I landed a fourth punch. That was hard and just when I thought that would be all, Don Callis had the balls to say this to my face, live in front of the crowd and on live television. He smiled his stupid smile and said this...

Don: On behalf of the God of Pro Wrestling, we accept, but don't try anything stupid because if you do, Kenny Omega will have your so called "friend", Maki Itoh, join your father in the hospital!

When he mentioned Maki, I lost it.

I took out my madball and started beating the hell out of him with pure rage.

JR: That was too far!

Excalibur: Paolo Cristo is upset! You can tell from the look on his face, that is not scripted in any way you see it, that is real emotion!

Tony S: And just when it gets bad enough as it is!

The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega came out to just try to beat me up after laying waste to their weird uncle. I couldn't defend myself because they were trying to break my ribs and reduce my ability to breathe!

I thought I wasn't going to have anyone to help me because just before I was hit with a V-Trigger while Gallows and Anderson held my arms out, a theme played.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I heard cheers coming from the top of the ramp to the ring and I thought no one was going to leave me high and dry!

JR: Looks like business just picked up!

Tony: Look who it is! It's Proud N' Powerful!

Excalibur: SANTANA AND ORTIZ, helping out their brother!

JR: Now that's family!

Tony: Latinos always help each other, no matter the situation!

Santana was laying waste to Kenny and Doc Gallows with a madball as Ortiz was beating Anderson up with a chair! I couldn't feel more grateful for them to help me. I guess I owe them something in return.

Once they were done fighting, Gallows, Anderson, and Kenny escaped as Ortiz was tending to me.

I try to get up, but a pain in my side made me drop back down. Santana, after hyping up the crowd, he noticed and did the "X" symbol, signaling to the officials that shit has gotten real and out they came.

I was clutching my rib cage as Ortiz and Santana stayed by me until doctors and of all people, Maki, had to come out and kneel near me. She had tears coming out of her eyes, but she was angry. The thing was Maki didn't go on a rampage, she kept herself calm, and she's holding herself pretty well.

I was helped out of the ring and went to the trainer's where it was confirmed I suffered a broken rib.

Those son of a bitches had to injure me.

Santana: How are you bro?

Me: I'll be fine. I suffered worse than this.

Ortiz: Yeah. You can take punishment, but now the Elite gotta take some.

Me: You're right, but what made you two save me?

Santana: See man, you've been in our corner back in TNA, now it's time for us to return the favor. We had to get out there and help you out because you're not just our friend, you're family and family looks out for each other.

Me: I appreciate that guys.

Ortiz: Don't worry. If you ever want us in your corner when it's in a match, let us know.

Me: I will. I wish my father was here, you know?

Santana: Yeah us too. We'll let you rest alright?

Me: Gracias amigos.

Ortiz: De nada fam.

They lightly bro hugged me as they left Maki sat next to me.

Maki: あなたは壊れた肋骨に関係なく、そこに素晴らしいことをしました。 (You did great out there, regardless of broken rib.)

Me: マキありがとうが、私はあなたに何かを頼むことができますか？ (Thanks Maki, but can I ask you something?)

Maki: ええ。 (Yeah.)

Me: あなたがそこに出てくるのは、トレーナーと役人と一緒にいましたか？ (What made you come out there and be with the trainer's and officials?)

Maki: 私はもうできません。 Paolo、私はあなたのガールフレンドになりたいです。 (I just can't do it anymore. Paolo, I want to be your girlfriend.)

I was in shock. I didn't think she'd want to stop with the taking things slow bit.

Maki: あなたは私の元彼氏に対して私のために立っていたときあなたはそのような良い人でした、あなたは私のためにいつもそこにいて、私はあなたなしでは生きていけませんでした。 あなたは私が誰かになりたいと思うように感じさせる。 (You were such a good person when you stood up for me against my ex boyfriend, you were always there for me and I just couldn't live without you. You make me feel like someone that I want to be.)

Me: マキ、私は同じ気分だ。 はい、私はあなたのボーイフレンドになりたいです。 (Maki, I feel the same. And yes, I would love to be your boyfriend.)

Just as she was about to kiss me on my lips, I had to turn away.

Maki: 何？ 私はあなたの美しい唇にキスをしませんか？ (What? I don't get a kiss on your beautiful lips?)

Me: ここではありません。 私はあなたを日に連れて行かせてから、あなたはあなたの本当のキスを得るでしょう、それはどうですか？ (Just not here. Let me take you out on a date, and then you'll get your real kiss, how's that?)

Maki: 私はそれを働きます。 (I'll work with that.)

After a while, we finally became a couple, but we didn't want to kiss yet until the time and place is right, which is understandable.

I received some texts from my stablemates and my word, did they like what they saw out there.

Tama: You motherfucker! You didn't tell us you were signing with that company! Well, if it's for family, go for it. What I saw out there was so dope! You know how to talk with a mic and if you ever need some backup, we'll be there!

Gedo: それは素晴らしいでした！ あなたのプロモーションへの入り口から、それは火でした！ 私はジェイと話をし、あなたは個人的な理由であなたが射精されたので弾丸のクラブからあなたを蹴り上げないでしょう。 それを楽しんで、クラブを誇りに思う！ (That was awesome! From your entrance to your promo, that was fire! I talked to Jay and he won't kick you out of the Bullet Club because you signed with AEW for personal reasons. Enjoy it, but make the Club proud!)

I was humbled by all of that, but I had to get to the hotel.

Maki and I drove together and before we went to our separate rooms, we hugged, but we didn't kiss because we're saving that for our date.

Maki: おやすみなさいパオロ。 (Goodnight Paolo.)

Me: おやすみマキ。 (Goodnight Maki.)

We went to our rooms and fell asleep, but I can't get over the fact that Maki and I are together and no one can tell us any different.

And Kenny thinks he owns the company just because he's the World Champion?

Fuck that bitch, this is wrestling.
