This Virus tag team is turning out to be quite dominant. In times past I have placed my faith in another only for it to turn sour. Years ago I enjoyed watching the show, Sons of Anarchy. The main character tended to make journal entries.
During one such entry the character begins, “It's hard not to hate. People, things, institutions. When they break your spirit and take pleasure in watching you bleed... hate is the only feeling that makes sense. But I know what hate does to a man. Tears him apart. Turns him into something he's not. Something he promised himself he'd never become.” I understand what he means, so much.
The modern political environment lends itself towards hatred. I could go into the unparalleled evil being tolerated as it pertains to Israel, the Islamophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist and general aporophobia by Trump, the blatant signs of mental disarray with Biden or the free for all sign off by RFK (as it pertains to the genocide by the Israeli government) but there is no point. I used to be among those that had that contempt, that hatred. Truth be told, I still do.
What I mean is that I still hold that extreme animosity as it pertains to those that are Islamophobic, racist and or aporophobic. I came to understand that it is all a facade, though. The truth is that what these people really care about is power and keeping the ‘proles’ in line. So, many (especially fellow so called “white” people) think of me along the same lines as the Neo liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
Truth be told, my worldview has been partially developed by upbringing. Outside of teaching kids about so-called sexual identity in school and letting children think the boys can be girls and vice versa my views are very much in line with Antifa. Over the years I tried to bring that to the wrestling world. I tried to cater to the fan base. If we are not using our opportunities to make a difference in the world what are we doing?
I came to realize my message wasn't the issue. The issue (outside of management and general greed that comes with capitalistic organizations) was the audience. Majority of wrestling fans are right wing and many are ignorant Fox News watching white trash. Sure, I used to be the same (briefly) and of course I believe there is hope for everyone to change.
Change has to come from the individual. The knowledge can be presented but if the recipient isn't receptive it doesn't matter. Some people would much rather live in their ignorance and believe their legacy is their fame, their money, their victories in work etc. People like TJ Alexander find their worth by being a good employee and an upstanding citizen.
TJ isn't alone. There are plenty of corporate bootlickers. These types think life is a game and you have to play by the rules. These are the same types that use phrases like. ‘Pull yourself up by your boot strap’, never stopping to actually picture the image they are conjuring or they would quickly realize the utter stupidity. If you try such a thing literally you would fall on your face. I am sure when it comes time to talk about the match TJ is going to say how I don't know him and his life was no picnic etc.
Everyone thinks they know hardship. Some like to say everyone has their own struggles. Maybe it isn't popular but I say bullshit. Even Donald Chump thinks he overcame something. But, these people never went to bed hungry as children because there was no food.
These people never went to sleep listening to gun shots, sirens, screaming, crashing, crying, fucking, and puking. They never got up in the morning to go to school and wondered which sound they heard the night before was why the cops were taping off a house down the way. Then someone from outside the U.S. is even less likely to understand. So many outside the U.S. have come to think of Americans in the same light as television sitcom characters.
Even if they come to America they visit popular spots. They never see the real America. They never realize the depths of poverty that so many are facing. Wrestlers like TJ grew up in a western European country while being part of the largest demographic in the country.
I have come to realize I can leave my legacy. I can make a difference through my current platform. But, I must stay true to the message regardless of whether the fans like it. Must be something in the air because first The Virus is created and the world introduced to the more unapologetic Fathi and now Eminem drops the first Slim Shady music video in over a decade.
If these people think Slim Shady is controversial they are going to lose their mind over the antifa ally, autistic warrior, rabid cur Fathi.
Many asks what makes you unique. The truth is that I don't know. I don't know what makes me, me. Is it my upbringing? Moving time and again? Spending the first six years of life living in a project in Alabama (give or take a year)? Is it the repressed memories of abuse? The years of trauma? The autism?
It is hard to say. I suspect the answer is yes. I believe all of these have contributed to my being who I am. I also believe that genetics plays a role but I also believe that regardless of genetics or upbringing there is a kernel of something that exists within each person that directs who they are.
You can call it a soul, or rooh or self consciousness. I don't claim to know. What I do know is I am not some anomaly. Given the right opportunities and desire anyone can reach the level of awareness and continual self improvement that I have. Without self improvement what are we but slow rotting bags of blood, bone and meat? We have to seek self improvement not just with physical exercise but also with analytical thinking that examines everything with at least an undertone of openness and unbias.
By examining, analyzing, and contemplating everything, we as humans are able to expand. Learning the truth is, in many ways, selfish. Yes it allows you to guide others to the truth. But, more than anything it increases our own maturity. It is with that knowledge that I will go forward. Maybe I will make a difference. Then again maybe I will be just another name in a book. But, I will know on my deathbed that I tried.
Myself and The Virus in general will seek to get our message across with unbridled violence. It is not something I desire. It is necessary because so many are so attached to the system. Only by bringing a level of violence to the match that churns the hardest of stomachs can we force people out of their eyes wide open mental coma.
People like TJ believe in the system and why not? It has never unjustly incarcerated anyone they knew, or pulled a gun on them and their kids. People like TJ are so ingrained into the system that they actually defend it. Lana Wachowski said it best when writing the script for the Matrix:
“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”
Fathi closes the journal and looks out the window. It was hard to believe how far things have come, looking back at how he was as opposed to how he is now. When stopping to reflect on these vastly deep changes in an individual it makes you wonder who you really know.
{On Camera}
The scene opens in darkness.
A figure emerges from the shadows in a dim light with whisps of fog. The man is clear to see. He is wearing a white tee shirt with 90s style baggy hip hop pants, and white traditional British Knights sneakers. His stature is short but his build is wide and his hair crew cut. He is Fathi.
“At When Worlds Collide I will be facing TJ Alexander, a man that has several accolades from other companies and came to U-H-W, if you believe him, because of so many people he has faced that talked about U-H-W.”
Fathi walks towards the camera as he continues
“I am the scion, the franchise of U-H-W. You see U-H-W is where I started. Two of my greatest mentors, Scott Stonewall and Ariel James aka Sickle were champions in U-H-W and legends. Not only was I trained by legends but I have beaten U-H-W legends and champions including Tyler Cross, Brian Kennedy, Shiv, and Eric Herrera to name just a few.”
He lowers his head, shakes it and chuckles before continuing.
“I have done a bit of homework on you. I know in that ring you are a fast high flying wrestling machine…” Fathi sneers “...but, while you may be one of the best wrestlers in the business and may have faced and beaten every style of wrestler one can think of, you have a problem with me.”
The camera pulls back and zooms in on the face of Fathi
“See I am a lot of things but I am NO wrestler. I am a trained FIGHTER.”
Fathi steps back. The camera changes angles to face Fathi from the right side.
“Don’t get it twisted. I am not JUST a street fighter. I have been trained in various forms of FIGHTING. I am short but I have training, experience taking hits, and a pain tolerance that is astonishing to doctors. People like you live with blinders on and I am SICK of it.”
He spits on the ground before resuming
“Management and to a vastly lesser degree even my partner wants me to limit the talk on politics but the fact of the matter is that with what is going on it is immoral and wrong to not speak. These are not issues that fail to touch the wrestling business. You want to pander to the average fan who is at worst middle class. Meanwhile people like you do NOTHING to show appreciation for the working poor fans. That is what I am about these days. I am no longer filtering what I say. I will stand on camera and say fuck Trump with a smile.”
Fathi holds a middle finger up for a few seconds before continuing.
“Our new mission, MY new mission is to leave such a level of carnage that the regular right wing Fox News watching Trump loving fanbase has to pause from the nausea. This pause allows them to reflect on what I have said. They have been so programmed that they cannot hear anything without violent entertainment. The more complicated the message the more violent the entertainment must be. I know you are thinking that you can outmaneuver me but sooner or later you will be caught slipping and I find it most amusing that you call your move the game over. The thing about that is a game can be over for one and not another if they are playing a different game and kid you are playing checkers…”
Walking forwards the camera backs up slowly keeping Fathi in view. Fathi comes upon a glass black and white chess set with several pieces already moved. Walking over to the black side Fathi knocks over the king and then looks up at the camera.

(The scene opens up with a UHW backdrop, we see TJ Alexander standing there in front it, dressed in a gray tracksuit, holding two championships on each shoulder, and one championship around his waist)
“It’s been a few weeks now since countdown to Invasion where I debuted here in UHW, in a triple threat match against JD Hollywood and Blaze Freya, for the number one contendership for the Bloodzone championship, and as I said, I walked out of countdown to Invasion as the winner, now I stand here with the number one contendership in my pocket just waiting for it to be announced by UHW management, but it hasn’t taken me this long to get a title shot, I said the second I walked through the door, that I am coming here to make statements and win gold, so far I’ve kept my promises.”
(TJ grins)
“But my next opponent is someone who is completely different to JD Hollywood and Blaze Freya, my opponent is a middle-age man coming back to UHW, and thinking his coming back to change things, to deliver carnage, well bruv, nobody gives two shits about that, nobody cares about you spewing hate, nobody cares about you throwing accusations that the entire wrestling world is full of Islamic haters, xenophobia’s because you’re not gonna get the answer you’re wish you’d get, the entire world, especially all over western Europe is waking up, to mass migration, their rising up against for their protection of their children being kidnapped, tortured and raped by middle Asian men, that their own government are flocking into their countries for cheap labour, and when these wrong-uns are getting everything free, there still over in other people’s countries doing the most disgusting and heinous crimes, all for their own religion, the so called religion of piece, people are rising up in the western Europe, because being tolerant is good, being tolerant doesn’t’ get you anywhere.”
(TJ frowns)
“That is why I am not being tolerant either, when I said I’m coming to UHW to prove a point, I am doing exactly that, I’m here to step on everyone’s toes for me to get gold, and Faithi, I haven’t faced persecution, but I’ve lived in a warzone, London is pretty much a different country now with it being so multicutulterism, any major city in the United Kingdom is, and there are only two genders in the world, male and female, by the sound of my voice, you can probably say I’m right-ring, but right wing, is more of common sense, than anything, the world right now has no common sense, boys cannot be girls, and girls cannot be boys, and it certainly isn’t ok to molest and rape children, and if you think that it is, then you’re the problem, children, should be kept as innocent as their can for as long as they can, but the entertainment world is filled with paedophilia, and child trafficking, if I was a world leader, Id bring back the death penalty, and any heinous crimes like that, I’d put a bullet in your head, I wouldn’t even give you the option of being strapped to a chair to input a point in your veins and waste tax-payers money, a straight bullet to the head, would do the job, quick too. But Faithi is not the only problem in this world that has the same views as the far-left, he is one of millions, but if you want to call me far-right, then I’m proud of that, because I know what is right and wrong, and you don’t.”
(TJ pauses)
“Faithi you are an original in UHW, and it’s gonna make it much more sweeter when I beat you, because I know you’re kind, the dinosaurs of this business, who still think they can go with younger talent, and maybe just maybe you can go in with most of the younger talent, but I’m on another level, right the hell now, I am a champion, in three different companies, my schedule is off the hook, I have no days off, unlike you, who after this match will probably need a month of to recover, you say you’re a fighter with immeasurable skills but I’ve not seen you, I’ve not even had you on my radar up until this match, the virus isn’t much, more like a small paper-cut, which can easily be concealed, but the thought of me beating you, would damage you’re entire system.”
(TJ smiles)
“A kid like me, blonde, blue eyes, has all the doors open, not through favours or nepotism, but through god damn work, losing to me, and you will, will damage your system completely, I know that you’re thinking you’re vast move-set and experience is gonna out-way and subdue me, but my youthfulness, agility and speed, is gonna subdue you to your knees, Faithi you’ve spoken to soon, because you may have watched a few videos on YouTube to, but to know me, is completely different, to know what make it click in my head is another, you won’t know what to do, the game changer is here to stay and I’m gonna be intolerant to everyone.”
