Author's Note:
Hey, guys. Been busy with a lot of stuff lately, so I haven't had enough time to fully update the story. STILL working on the next new chapter, but I figured I owe you guys at least a sample, right? So, in the manner in which I've borrowed from my good pal, Jean, here's a sneak peek at the latest chapter of Love, Honor & Glory.
LHG C. 8 SNEAK PEAK
That motherfucker...
He couldn't believe it.
That motherfucker...
He honestly could not believe it.
He thought that after what transpired with AJ, after what he had done to her, after the words he said to her and how he said them, he hoped that her spirit would be shattered. He hoped that her soul was crushed, her heart into pieces, and that she would feel nothing but pitiful and pathetic, just like the love sick puppy he always thought she was. And as sick as it sounded, he hoped that by dumping her would completely kill her inside, proving once and for all that he was right the whole time about her being weak, useless trash.
So if that was the case... then what the hell did he just see minutes ago that seemed to be completely of the opposite nature? Why was she smiling? Why was she so cheerful, bright, and most of all, happy, in light of how she had once again failed in a relationship, being the love-sick puppy that she was. And most of all... what was that tattoo covered, lip-ring wearing fuckstick doing being around her?
All these thoughts and questions were running through Dolph Ziggler's head as he paced back and forth in a nearby bathroom, still trying to quell down the rage that still deeply resided inside him in the aftermath of what he had just seen. He didn't just see those two just kiss each other. They were basically mouth-fucking each other! And the mere of thought of AJ being able to rise above how things ended between him and her, and still finding a way to still be her cheery, perky, and overly annoying as hell happy, set Dolph off.
To take out his frustration, Ziggler found the nearest grounded crate closest to him, and with all his intensity and anger, delivered a furious and vengeful kick, sending the crate several feet away, all the while screeching out, "THAT MOTHERFUCKER!"
After that last outburst, Dolph took a few moments to catch his breath and regain his composure. After waiting about a minute or two, Ziggler contemplated what could happen next, when suddenly, an idea came to mind, as if a bulb above his head turned on. With a devious smirk, Dolph already had a plan set in motion to throw Punk off his game.
Hope that's satisfying for you guys for now.
And on a final note, you know I got to discuss what's been going on in the world of wrestling the past couple of weeks.
The RAWs have been a little up-and-down, but in terms of moving along angles and storylines, they have been spot on.
AJ/Kaitlyn:
I am so in love with this AJ/Kaitlyn feud, I swear. AJ has been fucking MASTERFUL on the mic as of late, while Kait has held her own as well, getting in a few lumps on AJ so as to not make this feud be so one-sided. And that contract on Smackdown? Stupendous! Can't wait to see their match tonight. I expect AJ to retain, but I hope it's another good scrap. It will be hard to top what they did at Payback, as well as once again counter Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell tearing down the damn house again with their Ladder Match on iMPACT, but we shall see.
Del Rio vs Ziggler:
Speaking of trying to top things from Payback, we'll see how ADR and Ziggler can follow up their dramatic encounter from a month ago. I think for this feud to mean something, ADR must retain at MITB. And since he's a heel now, he can do it in a multitude of ways, like getting himself DQ'd or counted out, or the open possibility of AJ double-crossing Dolph (which I would love personally, because that would mean the official end of the abominable ZiggLee paring, but I digress).
Either way, have ADR hold on to the belt a little longer, to add more sympathetic support for Ziggler in the usual "Babyface chasing the title" predicament.
And then at SummerSlam, you can get Ricardo back from his "injury" (IRL his suspension) and back in Del Rio's corner, toughening the odds for Ziggler (since he'll probably be solo at this point due to the impending break up with AJ and Big E that may happen). It can even be a Stip match of any sorts, like the Ladder Match we never got at Extreme Rules. In the end, despite all of Del Rio's tricks and treachery, Ziggler beats ADR and gets the belt back once and for all, providing a nice proper blow off to this dramatic feud.
If they want to drag it out longer, finish it at NOC, but not one month over. I want both guys to be moving on to fresh feuds around Survivor Series time.
Punk vs Lesnar:
The slow build in this Punk/Heyman/Lesnar dynamic has been very well done so far. Already looking forward to this intriguing match up potentially at SummerSlam.
Curtis Axel:
The young man is improving week by week in my eyes, and has had a couple of good matches with Jericho. I fully expect him to beat Miz at MITB.
Speaking of Jericho:
This "feud" or whatever the fuck he's been having with Ryback, I give less than 2 quirts of duckshit about. The fact that they've just about killed Ryback's stigma as a big bad ass monster (Forfeiting a match because Miz kicked you in the leg? Really?) makes me care even less. I think it would be funny as hell if Jericho wins, but I think Ryback gets the victory since Jericho will going on tour with Fozzy again real soon.
Shield vs Usos:
I'm picking Reigns and Rollins, but I would not be upset in the slightest if The Usos take the belts. These are two exciting young teams that I like that constantly gets the crowd involved in their matches and they can go pretty damn good in the ring, so it's a win-win for me.
Smackdown MITB match:
Most difficult match for me to pick. I think either Cody Rhodes or Dean Ambrose will win, but to me, the guy who NEEDS THIS BRIEFCASE THE MOST is Wade Barrett. So based on that, I'm picking Barrett. God save the queen, indeed.
John Cena vs Mark Henry
Mark Henry has been absolutely GODLY in this build up. From his epic retirement fake out, to making Cena flinch like a bitch the past couple of weeks, he has been outstanding.
And let me just say this: I don't care if he holds it for one month, one night, or even one minute before a cash-in, but PLEASE, give Mark Henry the belt at MITB, he fucking deserves it. #BlackWWEChampion
I would LOVE it for Henry to win the belt, but alas, I fear SuperCena will rise again.
RAW MITB match:
If Daniel Bryan DOESN'T win the RAW briefcase, I'll be shocked, then pissed, then saddened. D-Bry for the win.
So there we have it. Enjoy MITB, and I'll do my best to have this chapter up and ready by the end of the week!
