CHAPTER 20: ANOTHER ENCOUNTER
That morning, Jake and some of the fellow MWA rosters are doing some workout at a gym.
"So, Jake. Don't you want to join other promotion within MWA?" asked FH.
"What's the differences between all those promotions?" asked Jake.
"Well, let's talk about big 4 first; MWE, RWA, QPW and Panther. Malaysia Wrestling Entertainment aka MWE is owned by Taylor and their current top guys are 2 former BulletProof members; Eastsa Shadows and Fariz Styles. Their booking styles is just like WWE" replied FH.
"Interesting" said Jake.
"That's true. Most MWA producers used to work with MWE but still, MWE managed to hire some new producers to make it still relevant" replied Alpha.
"I see" said Jake.
"Then, we have Revolutinary Wrestling Alliance aka RWA. It was run by Steve and some BulletProof top guy; which is me and my old friend; Emy. Our booking style is a mixed of various promotions especially from America like WWE and Impact" said FH then.
"But of course, Hariz used to complain how hard it is to sign with RWA" replied Alpha.
"He's part of RWA?" asked Jake.
"Used to. Before he started his professional MMA training and music band. Once he begins with those stuff, he left RWA but he still made appearance sometimes" replied FH.
"I see" said Jake.
"Then we have Quarterback Pro Wrestling aka QPW. It used to be Prest1ge's forte during stable war" said Alpha.
"Your stable?" asked Jake.
"Yes. In QPW, we run things just like Japanese promotions with plenty of tournaments" replied Alpha.
"I see. That's kinda nostalgic for me" said Jake.
"I know. You started your career in Japan after all" replied FH.
"So, what is the last Big 4?" asked Jake.
"The last one is Pro Wrestling PANTHER. It was based at the northern part of Malaya Peninsular. This is where Malaysia Strong Style begins. Their titles are called Golden Wrestling Throne; GWT and the current GWT Heavyweight Champion is Hariz. This is the only promotion other than MWA which Hariz actively wrestled since he is staying there now" said Alpha.
"Is that where he started his pro wrestling training?" asked Jake.
"That's true. The reason of why we know him is because Iqbal Brooke brought him here to add more manpower in Prest1ge" replied FH.
"Not only pro wrestling actually. He started to train in Muay Thai and Silat there too. That's why he dares to join MMA. He found 2 martial arts that suit him well" said Alpha.
"I see" said Jake.
"Other than big 4, there are several indie promotions too that made the alliance. So, interested to join any?" asked Alpha.
"Well, not now. I think I'm good so far" replied Jake.
"Fair enough" said FH. Suddenly, Hariz came in with some of his friends.
"As usual, guys?" asked the gym keeper.
"Yes" replied Hariz as he and his friends getting ready to warm up.
"Ready for the big day, bro?" asked FH.
"Yes. Sladkiy is a tough bastard. I won't stand a chance if I ever slacked off" replied Hariz.
"You will win. We have your back" said Alpha.
"Thanks. Glad to have friends that got my back. Unlike during my time in Manchester" replied Hariz before started his training.
Later on;
Jake and his friends are having lunch at a restaurant nearby.
"Hariz sure hold grudge on you" said FH.
"Well, it's not that I don't know why. That's how I feel towards my former teammates in Manchester United and England National Team" replied Jake.
"I see. But still, it won't stop you from coming with us and watching his match against Anatoly Malykhin, right" said Alpha.
"Well, if you go, of course I will come too" replied Jake.
"As I thought. Come and meet us this Friday at Axiata Arena. We'll get into the arena together" said Alpha.
"Okay" replied Jake.
That night;
As Jake and his friends entered the arena they saw the England Women National Team players are there too.
"You ladies watch combat sport? Aren't you 'too nice' to watch such a hardcore sport?" mocked Jake.
"We're here because we will face Malaysia in a friendly match" said Delaila.
"And just like we're there for you at Wrestlemania, we think it's fair to be here watching Hariz too" replied Tooney causing Jake to burst into laughter.
"You were there for me? You're there only because you're WWE guests. Trying to ride my coattail, aren't you? And when you failed, you want to try with Hariz. You better forget about it" said Jake.
"Why must we?" asked Delaila.
"He doesn't even want to talk to me until this day because you framed him and killed his career before it even starts, Potter. What makes you think that he'll talk to you; the cause of all of this happened?" asked Jake in return.
"Oh, now you believed him? You never did that time" replied Delaila.
"Because now I know who's saying the truth and who's a no good lying bitch" said Jake.
"Lads, calm down. Don't make any scene here" said Lucy Bronze.
"Very well. Only because I got a lot of respect on you, cousin" replied Jake. Lucy smirked.
"But that doesn't stop you to mock me with your WWE title, right" said Lucy.
"Well, I'm a heel that time. Need to get more heel heat" replied Jake. Lucy giggled.
"You both are cousins?" asked Tooney.
"Indeed we are. Make her life a living hell, you'll regret it, especially you, Potter" warned Jake.
Later on;
"Ladies and gentlemen. It's time for the main event of the night and it is for the ONE Heavyweight Championship!"
"At the blue corner. Representing the challenger. From Penang Island, Penang, Malaysia. He is a Muay Thai and Silat fighter. With 6'1" height and weighing at 245 lb; Hariz 'The Island Sniper' Eagles!"
"That's your boy, Jake?" asked Lucy.
"That's true" replied Jake.
"Just like you, his body is not suitable for football player" said Lucy.
"Well, it's not that we will play pro football anymore" replied Jake.
"I see" said Lucy.
"At the red corner. From Kuzbass, Russia. With 5' 11" height and weighing in at 225 lb. He is the defending undisputing ONE Heavyweight Champion of the world; Anatoly 'Sladkiy' Malykhin!"
TING! TING!
The match begins with both fighters approaching each other. Sladkiy then tried to hit Hariz with an overhand punch but Hariz dodged it before hitting Sladkiy with an underhook punch. Sladkiy then used the opening to jab Hariz straight to his face.
"C'mon, cousin! Kick his ass!" yelled Leah.
"Not too loud, captain" said Lauren James.
"For how long he has been doing this?" asked Jake.
"Since he returned back to Malaysia" replied Alpha.
"No wonder. I heard even Dana White interested on him" said Jake.
"Don't you want to try, Jake?" asked FH.
"Maybe one day. Need to work on my kickboxing first" replied Jake.
"Why did you both love hurting yourself like that?" asked Delaila.
"It's none of your business, bitch" replied Jake.
"Stop calling me bitch!" said Delaila.
"I'll call you whatever I want to" replied Jake.
Later on, Sladkiy managed to take down Hariz. He then attempeted for a grounded punch but Hariz managed to lock him with a Kimura Lock. Sladkiy tried to get away from it but Hariz tighten up his grip. After a while, Sladkiy tapped out.
"He just win it" said Jake.
"Of course he is. With that type of work ethics he had, nothing is impossible" replied Alpha.
"He should quit. No, all of you should quit. You're hurting your body" said Delaila.
"Don't tell us how to treat our body, bitch. Just mind your own business and please, stop acting like you care. It makes me want to puke" replied Jake before he and the rest walked away.
"He sure hates you now" said Lucy.
"Because he is ignorant, arrogant and selfish. That's why" replied Tooney.
"I never thought that I will hear you saying such things to your childhood friend" said Lucy.
"I'm saying a fact" replied Tooney.
"Are you sure about that? As I can see, you trust Delilah more than Hariz" said Leah.
"She'll ended up regretting it" said Jill Beckham then.
Later on;
Jake is lying down on his bed right after he arrived home when he got a FaceTime request from Tegan.
Jake: Hello there. Sorry, wrong number.
Tegan: Hello to you too. And you're getting more annoying nowadays.
Jake: Aww, thanks Steff.
Tegan: That's not a compliment, you dumbass.
Jake: Isn't that harsh calling your bestfriend dumbass.
Tegan: Yes unless if his name is Jake Walker.
Jake chuckled.
Jake: How you're doing nowadays?
Tegan: I'm good. What about you? Heard that you've signed with MWA.
Jake: I'm fine. That's true. It is such a great company so far.
Tegan: By the way, I heard a rumour.
Jake: What rumour?
Tegan: I heard that Vince will step down as the chairman and CEO of WWE.
Jake: I heard it too. Is it really going tp happen?
Tegan: Yes. So, there might be a chance that Triple H will re-sign you back.
Jake: Well, I don't know about that. I just signed with MWA. But who knows. Maybe Triple H will open the forbidden door.
Tegan: Will you come back then?
Jake: Of course I will. Some of you really make me feel that WWE is my home.
Tegan: Good to know. Anyway, I need to go now. I'll call you again sometimes.
Jake: Okay, Steff. Take care.
Tegan: You too. Bye, Jake.
Jake: Bye.
Then, they hung up.
