The Billion dollar man of the MWA is
currently sitting in a radio studio in Los Angels, California. The studio is called home by Perhaps the most respected
voice in the world of sports broadcasting, Jim Rome is the leading opinion-maker of his generation. As host of the nation’s
premiere sports radio talk show, Rome is known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialog. Jim has established himself
as the top choice of athletes and fans when it is time to know what is going on beyond the scoreboard.
Rome: Today we have a special guest in studio. He is a
man who currently is at the tip of some major controversy in his profession. MWA superstar, CJ Osborne! Welcome to LA.
CJ: Thanks Jim, Its really good to back. Its been awhile
since I've been here, and its been even longer since I was able to come on the show.
Rome: That is right. Its been nearly two years since
we last spoke. Back then you were still with GWE, and were in the midst of European tour.
CJ: That is correct my friend.
Quietly a producer sets a bottle of water down next to CJ so when he
is thirsty he can drink.
Rome: I'm just gonna get right into the thick of things.
What is going on with this situation with current MWA World Champion, Kacy Knight?
CJ: As I said during the press conference last week when
I announced the foundation. I can't really discuss my situation with Kacy because of the ongoing Federal investigation. Now
I'm sure you like many others want to know just why I decided to come out and admit the truth.
Rome: I think I speak for the entire nation when I say
yes.
Both men share a small laugh, because they know its true.
CJ: Yeah your right there. Its really simple. I just look
in the mirror and I didn't like who I had become. As I said back in Orlando I never meant for thing to turn out the way they
did. I got caught up in the situation and let things get out of control. I think a large part of this coming out and my attitude
change is due to the new woman in my life.
Rome: And how is she handling the situation with Kacy?
CJ; Surprisingly well. She just wants to move on with
both of our lives and be happy with each other. We talked about it a few weeks ago and we came to an agreement that we wouldn't
talk about it with one another, unless we absolutely have to and we would continue on with our life together.
Rome: Do you feel you two are moving fast?
CJ thinks for a few moments before answering. He would have waited longer,
but this is radio. Can't have empty air for to long.
CJ: We are moving fast, but neither one of us have issue
with that. I knew my first wife for several years before we every dated and dated for even longer before we married. Personally
that marriage was doomed from the start. We were both so young and had no idea what married life would be like.
Rome: That is very true. Do you have any contact with
your ex?
CJ: Thankfully no. Last I heard she was trying to get
back into modeling, but honestly I don't care. As long as she out of my life and digging for gold in another mans pocket I'm
happy.
Rome laughs cause he can't believe CJ actually said that about his Ex
on a national radios show.
Rome: Some harsh words there.
CJ: I only speak the truth.
Rome: Last week you held a press conference announcing
that you are starting a foundation. Tell us about that.
CJ: Like many wrestler I made my start in the hole wall
organizations that only care about how brutal they can make their matches, so they can keep those fans who just want to see
blood and high spot. Unlike many wrestlers I had the money to get medical care when needed and to take time off to rest when
I needed it. Many fellow stars have fallen victim to major injuries because they pushed them selves for a buck. We have also
seen the effects that this sport can have on the stars to preform and many starts have turned to drinking because of it or
even worse to drugs. Many superstars have died early or had major health issues. All of these things have left many wrestlers
and their families unable to make the money needed to live life. We are here to offer finical and medical assistance to those
wrestlers and their families.
Rome: And the foundation has the blessing of the MWA?
CJ: Very much so. Barrett Brand was very excited about
it when I told him about it. The MWA officials have been nothing, but helpful. I fully appreciate everything have done and
will do in the future for this foundation. Right now we are working together to set up a fund raising event sometime in the
future.
CJ decides to partake in the bottle of watter that is still siting in
front of him.
Rome: Like you need to raise funds.
CJ: Very true the foundation could easily be financed
by my company, but thats not the point of it. The foundation needs to be able to thrive and live on its own and I believe
it will do so, but I am prepared to back it for awhile if need be.
Rome: I would like to go back to Kacy Knight for a second
if you don't mind. Do you know if there is any truth to the rumor about her being involved with the murder of her close friend
right before the Revelations PPV?
CJ: I know about as much as anyone at this point. As far
as I know the case is still under federal investigation, so there isn't much I can really say about it.
Rome looks suspiciously at CJ. He must think CJ knows more than hes
letting on, but he doesn't on the subject and moves on.
Rome: Ok, back to current matters. This week you are in
a huge six man tag team match. You will b e teaming with Jackie Sweets and Kacy Knight to take on Dark Circle members Redeemer,
Punisher, and the man who beat you last week Allen Saunders.
CJ: I know I was really surprised when I saw the card.
Its no secret that Kacy wants nothing to do with me, not that I can blame her. To be honest I'm not sure how Jackie Sweets
feels about me right now, so to say this is a dysfunctional team would be an understatement....This is clearly something that
the Dark Circle cooked up.
Rome: You think this whole thing is a Dark Circle set
up?
CJ: When you look at everything its clear that it is.
I was a former member, so they aren't to thrilled with me. Jackie has been the biggest voice against the Dark Circle, not
to mention the well documented history between him and Heartless. Redeemer is the muscle for the Circle and the pussy leader,
Punisher. Last week he sends Saunders out to do his dirty work instead of getting in the ring with me himself. Personally
I think hes scared of Kacy. She's kicked his ass so much the last few weeks he is afraid to get in the ring with her.
Rome: Are you worried saying such things would make you
a target?
CJ smiles at the interviews lack of knowledge in how things really operate.
CJ: I'm sure I already am, but I say bring it on. If they
think they are big enough to take me on then come on down. They all know where to find me.
Rome: Wow, the challenge has been laid down. You here
that Dark Circle? You want a piece you know where to find him..MAN!! That is some great stuff. Unfortunately that is all the
time I have you for you today. I would love to have you on longer, but I got another two hours of this show to do.
CJ: I understand. It was a great to come on again. Just
make sure you don't take so long to get me back on this time.
This is another question that forces CJ to stop and think his answer
over for a few moments.
Rome: One last question before we go. Is Jackie Sweets
gay?
CJ: Only one man can truly answer that. That man is Jackie
Sweets, and if he says no then the answer is no.
Rome: That was MWA superstar and billionaire, CJ Osborne.
You can catch MWA Battlezone every Friday night on H.B.O at eight o'clock. It was a pleasure CJ.
CJ: The pleasure was all mine.
The show goes to commercial as Rome and CJ exchange a handshake and
he signs a few autographs for the crew that help make The Jim Rome show what it is. CJ is leaving as the show returns to air
for the next segment.
Its blog time again. I have to admit I never thought
I would enjoy writing a blog so much, but it's a good way to get my feeling out there and not be hounded by the hundreds of
media people who flock to my press conferences. I mean we all know half of them don't give a damn about me or wrestling. That
are just hoping to get some kind of crumb that falls from me. Something of value to their story, paper, or hell even something
to benefit themselves. Hoping I'll drop a gold coin on them or something. However all I have around me right now is my laptop,
a cold beer, and the cool breeze coming off the lake behind the mansion. If Hope was around I'd have all a man needs in life.
However, I'm not suppose to be writing about the
view I have right now. This coming up week there is a huge six man tag match. Three members of The Dark Circle. Redeemer,
Punisher , and the man who beat me Allen Saunders face the reluctant pairing of myself, Jackie Sweets, and MWA World Champion
Kacy Knight. As I said on the Jim Rome Show a few days ago, This is a dysfunctional team if I ever saw one. I'm not sure how
Kacy and Jackie feel about one another, but I'm pretty sure they both don't like me. Not that I can blame them for that. Its
lot like I have been the model of
My first teammate is a man who I faced along with
two other men at Revelations 2008. Sweets walked out of that match with the gold, and my respect. I'm not sure if that means
anything to Jackie or anyone in the MWA for that matter, but he has it nonetheless. Jackie Sweets is a man who has been through
so much in and out of the MWA. To be honest he more than anyone deserves to be facing off with Kacy Knight for the MWA world
championship. He has been a constant professional and he is the true Mr MWA. This entire smear campaign the Heartless Mcmeanypants
is a load of crap, and you know what if by chance its not. Who the fuck cares? If he wants to be gay then let him. Hes not
the first gay wrestler and he will not be the last. The guys in the back who have problems with him being gay must have some
insecurity about their own masculinity.
My other teammate is Kacy Knight. I use the word
“teammate” very lossy, because she and I can and never will be on the same page again. One thing I know for sure
is no matter how much she may hate me she will play along. She may hate me, but I think she hates losing even more. Nothing
shows that more than last week. I mean Jason Talbot is someone Kacy would consider a friend, but she tried to kill him. I'm
not sure what has gotten into her, but ever since this stuff happened with Gus she has been different. Kacy has always been
the type to get people close to her, which is understandable. It seems like every time she does, they always seem to stab
her in the back. However she is even more a loner than she was before. Despite everything I have done to Kacy I hope she knows
that more than anyone I have every came in contact with while wrestling, I RESPECT her the most.
Deep in the night CJ Osborne is fast asleep in his
over sized bed. Hope is next to him asleep as well. CJ begins to stir as light fog fills the floor of the room. CJ sits up
and looks around in wonderment. He stands and walks toward the large bathroom connected to his even larger bedroom. The fog
is still all around, but the bathroom that CJ is headed toward goes seem to be the source of it all. Upon opening the door
the same fog that had completely filled the room billowed out overtaking CJ.
CJ: Hello????...Who's there?
The fog slowly fades away, but as it does he doesn't
recognize anything around him. What is suppose to be his bath room is a nothing as far as the eye can see. What is suppose
to be the floor is what can only be described as a cloud.
CJ: What is going on? Where am I?
Is someone out there?
From afar two figures slowly move toward him. The
closer they get the move it look like these figures are floating, not walking. A baffled CJ watches on as they move close
enough to see there faces. As he does he is even move shocked. The two figures are his parents.
CJ: Wha?...Am I?...Are you?
Seeing his parents has pushed him into a state of
shock. He can't get out what he is thinking.
Jack Osborne: My son. What have you
done with yourself?
Patricia Osborne: My son. How have
you disappointed us?
He can't believe what he is hearing. Hearing his
parents who have been dead for last 4 and a half years tell him he is a disappointment to them. CJ falls as he holds his head.
Jack: You have tarnished the family
name. You have made a mockery of the legacy we left behind.
Patrica: We raised you better than
this. You have used your wealth for nothing other than personal gain.
Jack: You are no longer our son......
The two turn and begin to float away. CJ tries to
scream out after them, but nothing comes out of his mouth. He tries to run after them, but he cannot move. In what feels like
an eternity his parents have disappeared and he is alone on his knees as tears roll down his face. All of a sudden everything
turns to darkness and the cloud he's been sitting on falls out letting him drop in unknown amount of time. He closes his eyes
for a mere moment and when he reopens them he is in his bed. He sit up so fact he nearly knocks Hope off the bed. Hope Look
over at sweat covered CJ. She becomes very concerned and moves toward him.
Hope: Are you ok?
CJ: I have to go to Orlando.
Hope: What?
She is obviously very confused and very concerned.
She can sense her concern in her voice and he turns to her.
CJ: Do you trust me?
Hope: Yes, Why?
CJ: Just go back to sleep and I'll
explain more in the morning. I have to make some arrangements.
CJ kisses Hope on the forehead and leaves the room,
leaving a confused Hope Marie in the bed as she tried to go back to sleep.
My opponents this week might work as a team, but
if I remember correctly Everybody in the Dark Circle hates one another anyway. The Dark Circle is really a joke, I can't believe
I joined this band of losers. Punisher made a joke of himself when he lost the MWA World title he has longed for so long a
mere week after winning it. I guess you have grown a small set of balls as you are actually going to step in the ring with
me this week. Something you failed to do last week. Your bravery is discounted because you do have you bitch Redeemer to do
all you dirty work. To be honest I'm not sure who has less personality, Saunders or Punisher. That question will go down with
what came first the chicken of the egg?
All jokes aside. Redeemer is a man who..... I have
no idea. It seems he can't decide who he wants to be. Is he Steve Huges? Is he Lien? Next he will act like try to act like
Kevin Rollin. Personally it doesn't really matter who the hell is behind that mask. All that matters is the fact that you
are standing in between me and victory, which is enough for me not to like you, minus the fact that you are Punisher's hired
muscle. Speaking of Punisher. He will actually step in ring this week. I know its a shocker, but it true. So when you see
him in the ring with Kacy, Sweets, and myself do not adjust you television set, he is actually in the ring.
Allen Saunders is the man who last week made me tap
out right in the middle of the ring. There are a lot of people who say its disgraceful to tap out, but as much as it sucks
to lose its not that bad. I there is nothing wrong with living to fight another day. I could have fought the hold, that to
be honest is nearly unbreakable and probably passed out from the pain. Unlike many of the wrestler around MWA, I'm Smart.
I knew my back was hurt and because I let the match end I can fight this week. Otherwise I may have been the first wrestler
to get help from my foundation.
The point is Allen Saunders you beat me last week
and I wish you a well deserved congratulations. Allen you took everything I threw out at you and still you won, however despite
losing I got more from the match. See Allen Saunder did what he usually does and use his technical savvy in the ring to attack
my strength, which resulted my hurt back. Everyone saw the classic Allen Saunders at his best, but I was the one who stole
the show. I showed Allen Saunders and the rest of the world that there is more to me than just some muscles. I'm just as agile
and quick in the ring as the best high flyer's and just as adapt to submissions as Allen Saunders. You see as I have said
all along I am the total package. I can wrestle anyone in any kind of match. Sometimes I lose sometimes I don't, but I can
assure you this you'll be in for the fight of your life.
I took you to your limit last week and I did so in
a way that no one has ever seen me wrestle. I nearly beat you at your own game, and I know it eats you alive. I know you hate
hearing about how despite losing last week I have truly arrived in the MWA, hell I have truly arrived in wrestling period.
People talk about how I can be a great champion now. Which is the ultimate goal of any wrestler. Many people seem to think
I lack the heart and passion for this business to be great, but let me assure EVERYONE that nothing is farther from the truth.
Yes, I have a billion dollar enterprise, but anyone who knows my past can tell you its not my passion. “Osborne Enterprises”
is my parents passion. “Osborne Enterprise” is a dream that my parents had. A dream that I worked my ass off to
make sure came true, because my parents were two of the greatest people in the world, and no one can convince me otherwise.
My dream is much simpler. My passion is the
ring. I started training at sixteen years old so I could be the very best I could be. I don't care how you feel about me personally,
but no one and I do mean NO ONE can question how much passion I have for this business. I work my ass off every fucking day
to make sure I am t my best for this business. You may not like my style or the way I carry myself, but you have to respect
the passion I have for wrestling. I'm not like most people who just took up the sport so they could be paid to beat people
up. I came to wrestling because its what I love to do. Like me, Love me, or Hate me its all irrelevant, because no matter
what I come out to the ring each and every week and give it everything I have. I leave every bit of everything in my body
in that ring. No one has more heart or passion for this business than I do.
