“There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some are gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all”
- The Beatles, “In My Life”
One of the reasons I like the Beatles is because they made lyrics that I can relate to. “In My Life” is without a doubt the greatest example. It’s a song about memories – about reminiscence. It’s about people and places that have become a part of your life, of your history – of yourself. Time goes by, no matter how much you would or wouldn’t like that, and nothing ever stays the same. Places don’t stay the same, people don’t stay the same – one doesn’t stay the same. And meeting an old friend, or visiting an old place one used to go, after many years have passed, can give one surprises – and a certain feeling of melancholy. But the main idea is to relive one’s memories and have a taste of the past that one wishes never had gone by, and that’s why people have developed events such as school homecomings, war veterans’ reunions – and nostalgia wrestling matches.
You may have been wondering what the Beatles had to do with wrestling in all that I’ve said before, and the answer is very simple, my friends. Going into this match in Wrestle Extravaganza III, I did some self-reflection and asked myself “What are your feelings and thoughts going into this match?”. And the first thing that came to my mind was that beautiful song. And the reason why that happened is because I have a well-working memory, and as soon as I knew I would be facing James Baker, it started reminiscing non-stop about the road that led to this week. To put it in another Beatles’ song, it has been a long and winding road.
And what a road that has been – since James and I were making our first steps in the CWF – even though he already wasn’t a stranger to wrestling -, to our feud against each other, to our separate roads to gold – him the CWF Unified Championship, me the National Championship, then the CWF collapse, and then the founding of PCW – though I had no part in it until later, when we finally eradicated the cancer that had eaten the CWF, and put a glass ceiling above our heads for a year and a half. With that war came devastation, but rebuilt, and once more are great. They had left much corrupted, and cleansing had to be both thorough and merciless. It had been a necessary act though – PCW lives, free of any darkness and corruption at last.
This was thanks in no small part to the efforts of myself and the rest of the people that gave – and still give – their blood, sweat and tears for the fed and the fans that still honor us with their trust and love – but the captain of this ship that put this all together is none other than my opponent for this match – the King of Hardcore, James Baker.
You know, as these thoughts come to my head, along with the Beatles’ song, it really strikes me how similar the history of the Beatles and the history of PCW had been – sure there are obvious differences, but in its foundation, they’re both very much alike. John, Paul, George and Ringo didn’t imagine that they would rise to stardom and conquer the music business, leaving a legacy that would last even decades after their time together – and the deaths of John and George. They were just four guys from Liverpool looking to have fun playing the music that they liked – which happened to revolutionize music worldwide. Just four friends from a suburban city in England that travelled a long and winding road together, until unfortunately there was a time where they could no longer. And let’s face it, while all of them had their particular talent and contributions, there are two names that come foremost – Lennon and McCartney. They wrote most of the songs, and their direction made them great to the point we know now.
And then there’s us, in PCW. Just four friends – James Baker, Leon Lonewolf, Terry Richards, and me – working together so that people would get the chance that they didn’t want to give us. And same as Lennon and McCartney, there are in PCW two names that to this day continue to give it the direction to glory. Now I’m not one to brag, but it has been said that one of them is myself. The other – the John Lennon, the visionary – is James Baker.
Seems only fitting that we celebrate this match in the same way the Beatles celebrated their most famous show…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the skies of suburban England, the light grey clouds rule supreme, and the wind blows as cold as a typical British day, over a red brick building. At the rooftop of which sit a number of musical instruments and equipment – an ivory-colored drumset, a violin-shaped bass guitar, and two other guitars – one white, the other black. Wires, amplifiers and microphones surround the instruments as if they were waiting to be played. A small door of the rooftop opens, showing a black-haired man with a thick beard, dressed in a black longcoat. He silently moves forward and picks up the bass guitar, tuning it.
He’s joined by a man in a brown coat, with long brown hair and round glasses, who picks up the white guitar. The bass player gives a faint smile, and they both shake hands.
Mariano McCartney: “It has been quite a long time since our last show.”
James Lennon: “Very much it has. But hey – that’s why we’re coming together here.”
Mariano McCartney: “You would think time hasn’t passed since then.”
James Lennon: “Oh, but it has – time goes by for all of us. Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
Mariano McCartney: “The important thing, however, is that the time we’ve been together has been well spent. It at least was for me.”
Lennon nods.
James Lennon: “Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.”
Mariano McCartney: “There’s something special about this long and winding road we’ve travelled together – all the while we’ve made it our way. Unlike the very beginning of our times when we were getting into the business, we didn’t have to conform to any other’s rules. It was hard at first, but ultimately it paid off, and that’s why we’re here right now.”
James Lennon: “It was just not worth it, mate. That’s all the more reason why what we did has value. I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people."
Mariano McCartney: “I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.”
(They both chuckle. At that point, they’re joined by two other men – one in an orange long coat, and one in a dark brown jacket and light blue jeans. The former sits on the drum set while the latter takes up the only left guitar.)
Mariano McCartney: “Well look, if it isn’t Ringo and George!”
Ringo Richards: “Hey there mates. You wouldn’t think I’d be missing this, would I?”
Leon Harrison: “Or I. The Beatles will exist without us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t show to the world that we made it this far.”
James Lennon: “Yeah. We all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.”
Mariano McCartney: “So what do you say we get this show on the road?”
Lennon smiles.
James Lennon: “You’ve got it. So, one, two, one, two, three, go!”
Mariano McCartney: “Let’s rock’n’roll!”
Right after that, the band starts playing, with Lennon and McCartney on vocals.
James Lennon/Mariano McCartney:
“My baby says she's traveling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby, don't be cold as ice
Said she's traveling on the one after 909
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
You're only fooling around, only fooling around with me
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby, don't be cold as ice
Said she's traveling on the one after 909
Picked up my bags, run to the station
Railman says you got the wrong location
Picked up the bag, run right home
Then I find I got the number wrong
Well, said she's traveling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby, don't be cold as ice
Said she's traveling on the one after 909, yeah
Picked up my bags, run to the station
Railman says you got the wrong location P
Picked up my bags, run right home
Then I find I got the number wrong
Well, she said she's traveling on the one after 909
I said move over honey
I'm traveling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby, don't be cold as ice
She said she's traveling on the one after 90
She said she's traveling on the one after 90
She said she's traveling on the one after 909”
(As they play, passers-by down the building’s street stop their daily business to watch the unexpected live show, cheering their throats out. Police bobbies-on-the block watch in surprise at the noise coming from the rooftop building. Oblivious to all, the band keeps playing.)
James Lennon: “Seems folks down there are going nuts.”
Mariano McCartney: “And it seems some people are complaining because we’re too loud.”
James Lennon: “If we’re loud, it means they can hear us.” (He gives a sly smile)
Mariano McCartney: “Well that’s what we’re here for. Let’s play on!”
(McCartney hits the bass chords, while Lennon strikes his guitar.)
Lennon/McCartney:
“Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Ooh she does
Yeh she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Ooh she do me
Yes she does
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
And from the first time that she really done me
Ooh she done me
She done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh she done me
She done me good
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down”
(The crowd continues to go wild as the song ends. The band continues to ignore them, despite their deafening cheers.)
Mariano McCartney: “It’s great, isn’t it? Playing with no concerns. No money to earn, no more glory to be had, no more worries about ourselves anymore.”
James Lennon: “Just old friends and bandmates playing together for fun.”
Mariano McCartney: “That’s what it is. But hey – it doesn’t mean the crowd isn’t meant to enjoy it, right?”
James Lennon: “That’s just right, old friend.”
Mariano McCartney: “All we can do is play on…”
(And so they get ready for the next song, as the scene fades to black…)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better, some are gone, and some remain. All these places had their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, in my life I’ve loved them all.
I remember the CWF. I remember the beginning of PCW. I remember the moment when I became PCW World Champion, and how PCW came from a small fed, torn and ravaged by civil war, to the pinnacle of wrestling today. The CWF is gone and PCW remains. It was changed forever, but thankfully for the better. All these places had their places, with friends and lovers I still can recall. Nagase, Rei, James Baker, Terry Richards, Leon Lonewolf, Danielle Lopez, and so many others. All of them are thankfully living. And in my life I’ve loved them all.
What a show it has been, James. I didn’t see this coming in our first match in the CWF, or on that three-way match where Terry Richards was also present, or on that Battle-Royale with all of the CWF locker room back then. But then again, what amazing surprises does life have in store for us. One of them, unfortunately, was not being able to square off one on one until this place that is here and this time that is now, but for the most part, our roads went together even if they never crossed. It was a shame, I admit, that during our time in the CWF we didn’t have a tag team match together, we didn’t face each other again, and went into different paths. You in the CWF Unified Title scene, and me on the National and World Title scene.
I guess management back there promoted me to give an excuse for the locker room so as not to leave the fed after it became evident that it was being held by the same political cancer that ultimately ruined it, and tried to ruin PCW as well. For a time it would seem it was over, but right after I lost the World Title match to Magnus Thunder, its ugly head reared again. This time the truth was evident, and so you and Terry had no choice but to leave.
In retrospective, I’ll be honest. I should have done that earlier. I stuck with the CWF out of loyalty, only to be repaid with contempt and neglect. I, Yoshiru Long, Leon, and SJ Funk were the ones who worked hard to keep a sinking ship afloat, but no matter how much we tried; there was no one who would stick with us.
I was reluctant to join PCW at first, I admit, because of the same disease that infected and killed the CWF manifesting itself there. But then, you came. You made an effort to bring me back to active wrestling – something I wanted to do, but something I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do thanks to those same people – and I am forever grateful for that. That is why I decided to take the offer, and why I came to PCW. I came to PCW hoping that I wouldn’t have to face the same thing we faced in the CWF, something you suffered more under, I can recognize that. But when I saw things would inevitably end up like the CWF, we stood united so this time it wouldn’t happen again.
PCW was meant for people to do what was denied to them in the CWF. To prosper, flourish and develop into the best one could be. To come from a debut match to a World Title opportunity. And thanks to you, that was – and still is – possible. Not for myself anymore, because I’ve had my run. I don’t want any more titles. I don’t want any more glory. I’m in the PCW Hall of Fame, have been a World Champion, and that alone is enough for me for a hundred lifetimes.
But the fun – the will to show my worth in the ring, the will to prove myself in front of the fans that pay good money to see this company live long and prosper, that is still there, and I hope it will never fade away. And that is why I have accepted your offer to face each other at Wrestle Extravaganza. In our time together, we started off in a bad note. We feuded against each other, fought together, bled together, and have stuck together ever since time and time again even though as I said before, our paths didn’t cross even while going together.
What a long road it has been. And what a great experience walking it was. After all, just like Lennon and McCartney didn’t expect for the Beatles to become the milestone in music that they did, we didn’t expect PCW to become the milestone in wrestling that it is today. They, along with George and Ringo, were just old friends forming a band to have fun. And we, along with Leon and Terry, were just old friends working in a fed together to have fun.
That, I believe, is the reason why we’re having this match together. No feuds, no titles, nothing at stake – just two old friends in a ring together, just for fun. And I hope the fans that continue to believe in PCW see this match for what it is, and come to appreciate it – for fun. Just like the Beatles made their final show at the rooftop of Apple records, and why the fans went crazy upon seeing them out of nowhere in the street – because they were having fun.
I’ll see you at Wrestle Extravaganza, old friend.
JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!
(OOC: From the bottom of my heart, from me to you, James. Best of luck, old friend. )
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some are gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living

And I hope the fans that continue to believe in PCW see this match for what it is, and come to appreciate it – for fun. Just like the Beatles made their final show at the rooftop of Apple records, and why the fans went crazy upon seeing them out of nowhere in the street – because they were having fun.
I’ll see you at Wrestle Extravaganza, old friend.
JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!
(OOC: From the bottom of my heart, from me to you, James. Best of luck, old friend. )
