”You signed with who?!” Grimmy bellows into the phone. Holden holds it away from his ear and gives the phone a roll of the eyes.
”CU:LT Wrestling. It’s a small time company that’s just starting. They got some big names but only one I actually know, David Hunter. He was my tag partner in Pure Class, where Frank got me started.”
Holden can hear the tapping of fingers on a keyboard before Grimmy continues. ”Are you fucking kidding me?! You joined a company built on death matches?! Frank would kick my ass up onto my shoulders, if he was still alive, for letting you do this.”
Holden scoffs. ”You let me do this? I heard about this company through the grapevine and couldn’t wait to sign up. Did you see they’re usin a pic of Uncle Charlie in their graphics?!”
Now it’s Grimmy’s turn to scoff. ” What is it with you and your dad? Uncle Charlie, really? Frank was obsessed with that stupid fuckin hippie too. Tell me that’s not the only reason you joined that company. Make me believe it, Holden.”
Grimmy is Holden’s attorney and business manager like he was Holden’s fathers before him. When frank passed at the beginning of January, he made Grimmy promise to look after Holden. Frank didn’t meet his son until about six years ago but he was trying to make up for lost time.
”I joined to make a name for myself, period. I was the Underground King in Pure Class….don’t see why I can’t use those skills in another company.”
”I just don’t want to see you cut your career short working for a bunch of no-talent goofballs.”
”In my match, David Hunter and Max Daemon along with a third guy are involved. It’s a four-way match and you win by filling a pint glass with blood from your opponents.”
”Jesus fucking Christ….” Grimmy’s voice is barely a whisper. ”Are you fucking serious? Why?”
Holden’s gives a little chuckle. ”Why not? I’m good at it. Just adds to my credibility and my Legacy….Frank’s too, really. He is the one who trained me. He got me into Pure Class and that’s where I broke into the business in these type of matches. I got this, brother.”
”Frank hated that type of shit. You got a good thing goin in Action Wrestling, why are you doing this? What if you get hurt? It could derail everything….”
Holden sighs and runs his hand down the left side of his face. He gives his head a little shake. ”Don’t worry about me, Grimmy, I got this. Seriously. Like I said, one of my opponents is David Hunter. He and I know each other pretty well. Hell, we may even end up working together through most of it. You never know. But I’m doing it.”
Now it’s Grimmy’s turn to sigh. ”Look, I don’t care how long you teamed with David in Pure Class. He is looking to win this too and will turn on you in a heartbeat if he thinks it’ll get him the win.”
”No shit, Sherlock.”
”Who else is in this clusterfuck of a match?”
”Max Daemon, he works in A.W. too and just fought McGregor in UFC. From what I’ve gathered he is no slouch; I mean he fought McGregor so he has to be pretty good, right”
”I just watched that fight a week or so ago on pay-per-view. He’s already getting in the ring after that? And in a stupid fucking match like the one you’re in?”
”Fuck you. Might leave him easier to pick him apart, ya know?”
”I doubt it. Who else is in it?”
”Some crazy bitch named Wendigo. I don’t know shit about her other than she just recently signed with A.W. too. Frank always said when someone relies on looking scary they seldom are.”
”Shes a freaky lookin bitch, for sure. But looking at her record, Holden, she is the sleeper in the match. Not saying David or Max are slouches but that bitch is looking to prove something. Watch out for her…. I’m tellin ya….”
Holden and Grimmy continue their conversation while Holden drives back to Vero Beach from Jacksonville. Holden has been in the business a few years but Grimmy has twenty years under his belt and understands how it works. Holden has a lot to learn still and Grimmy hopes he doesn’t learn those lessons the hard way.
