After dominating most of his tag team match this week as 1/2 of Bam G, Bob took the loss. Jam G's heart just wasn't in it. That's OK. Life goes on. We find found ourselves back in Everglade City, Florida.
A one room shack on a small island in the middle of the everglades smells of sage and juniper as Bob Grenier approaches the front door. He raps on the door twice and enters to find Jam G in his underwear, draped in a velvet robe performing some kind of ceremony in his living quarters.
Jam: Bob, Come in! Have some tea. You are just in time for the ceremony. I'm going to burn these herbs and resins in an attempt to connect with my spirit and creator.
Bob: You mean a smudging ceremony? Are you indigenous?
Jam: I'm surprised that you know that. Very surprised. I'm not indigenous. I just enjoy the culture.
Bob: I'm from Iroquois Falls, Way up North in Canada. Of course I know what a smudging ceremony is.
Bob looks at a bookshelf one the other side of the shack and sees the Jam G mask. This is not the Jam G he remembers. We're clearly not in Kansas anymore. Jam G also turns his attention to the mask.
Bob: Yeah we did. It was fun to mentor someone. We caught lighting in a bottle there for a little while.
Jam G: Yeah we did. It was fun. It'll never truly be over though you know? I'm just not that guy anymore. I want to try an excerise. I want to try and unlock a core memory of yours. Core memories are what shape our personalities, They define who we are. Sit.
Bob sits down. Jam G puts on some recording of the ocean and burns some unknown substance. A thick black smoke fills the air.
It's September 1996 and a young Bob Grenier stands outside Iroquois Falls Secondary School smoking marijuana with his friend Julio. No surprise there. He skips classes almost every day but still hands in assignments on time and maintains a 90% average because he's a goddamn genius.
Bob: Where's that fucking Jimmy kid?
Julio: I think he's over by the gym with that fat skank Ophelia Denault.
Bob: Ophelia? Really? Ophelia smells like rotting cottage cheese!
Julio: Awe, Lay off Jimmy. He's in love.
Bob: Where is Jimmy's truck?
Julio: Parked in the student parking lot. Why?
Bob: I have an idea.
About an hour later Bob stands by Jimmy's truck with a blow torch. He fires up the torch and burns the words "WHALE HUNTER" into the side of the vehicle and laughs, Completely unaware that his actions would carry harsh consequences for multiple people. He's either unaware of this fact or just doesn't give a shit. Bob Grenier is and always has been a deeply disturbed individual.
The nickname "Whale Hunter" would follow Jimmy most of his life. He would end up facing ridicule most of his life. Jimmy stopped seeing Ophelia. She would eventually move away. Jimmy would pine for her, Never knowing who vandalized his truck and drove away the love of his life.
Jimmy would succumb to drug addiction at the age of 25. Ophelia would go on to star in low budget pornographic films. She would star in such classics as.. Opening Up Ophelia, Feeling Up Ophelia and Heffer Humpers. She would eventually settle down on an alpaca farm in North Dakota and raise 11 kids with her husband, A frequent male co-star named Bucky Laycock.
Bob opens his eyes and for the first time ever he feels remourse for his actions that September day.
Bob: I'm such an asshole. What just happened? I feel a little less tense than I did a few minutes ago. I feel like I have a weight lifted off me. Like I'm.. Ok.. For the first time in a long time.
Jam: That's transcendental mediation my friend.
Bob: Can you explain the memory I just "unlocked".
He does the air quotes.
Bob: I carved WHALE HUNTER into the side of some kids truck because he was feeling up the fat girl behind the gym.
Jam: That? I'd say your just an asshole.
They both laugh.
Bob: I wonder what ever happened to Jimmy and Ophelia. I really was an asshole.
Jam G: It's never too late to make amends for your indiscretions. It's never too late to make amends with the people you've wronged. Deep down, I know you are a good man.
Before you go, I have a gift I'd like to give you.
Jam hands Bob a book.
Jam: This is the very first copy of my book, "The Found Soul - A passive guide to peace and tranquility". My friend, I hope you read it, Love it and take something from it you can use in your quest to find yourself. He takes the book with both hands and carefully places it in his backpack.
Bob: I have to head out to Key West, Handle my business.
Jam: I know you do. Good luck my friend and come see me again really soon please.
Bob: I will.
They shake hands and part ways.
We catch a glimpse of Bob in a television studio doing a promotional spot for Decadence to be aired at some unknown time on some unknown station.
"At Decadence, We celebrate Bob Grenier. We celebrate his return to the company he helped build a decade ago. We celebrate his return to PPV and the beginning of his rise back into the title picture, Somewhere he hasn't been in 7 years. It all comes at the expense of a group of clowns who cannot begin to fathom that Bob Grenier paved the way for them to be here..
It's about this time in the finished product of this promotional video where we will see various clips related to Bob's iconic OCW Career. Then we'll cut back to Bob speaking.
"As human beings we have two ears, One mouth, So we should listen twice as much as we speak. Dylan Thomas, Diana Watts, For the love of god please stop talking.."
"Dylan, You have the personality of wet fucking paint dude. When you record your little promos into your phone and play them back after do you realize how stupid you sound? You say I'm back for "one last rodeo" ... I never fucking left, Choad breath! My blood is splattered on the floor of the OCW arena, My name is etched on the walls and in the annuls of time. I'm the reason you have a place to work. If you have any doubts about that we can try and settle that difference of opinion at Decadence. You make a good point though, You do NEED this win because at the end of the day.. Who is Dylan Thomas? What does Dylan Thomas have other than this? Win, Lose, Draw.. I go home a hall of famer, A former world champion and someone whose impact will forever be felt in the confines of this company.. You, You just go home, mediocre and sad"
He stops speaking and begins to speak to the producer of the video. The producer takes his headset off and stops recording.
Bob: I feel like I'm rambling a little too much. Too many words? Feels forced I guess. Like I'm a guy cutting a wrestling promo, You know? I want it to sound genuine.
Producer: We can always edit it down. Do some re-shoots later on today. Great stuff though!
Bob: I missed this. The promotional stuff, Putting the OCW name out there and plugging it anywhere I could.
Producer: Ready to roll again?
"The beautiful thing about being in the position I am in is that the position is solidified. When your name holds value like mine does, People know you and you don't know them.. Case in point, Diana Watts. I haven't the faintest clue who you are or where the rock is that you crawled out from under. Throughout the course of my career I have learned a few valuable lessons. I've learned the hard way to never bang your shins on a stool that isn't in your way. I've learned to not stress over people and situations that have no lasting effect on my life. These days I'm officially living stress free and believe me, A stress free and focused Bob Grenier is not a Bob Grenier that anyone wants a piece of. I am bound and determined to shake out the cobwebs and return to the place I know I truly belong. I belong at the top of the card, I belong in the main event. My name belongs on the marquee. I sell the tickets, I sell the merchandise. I bring the fans to the arena and even in defeat, I send the fans home happy. I am the blood that pumps through the veins of this company. So tell me again how I don't draw anymore.. That I'm washed up.. I'll leave my opponents with one final thought to chew on.. I have the experiece on my side and I guarentee you all that I want this more than any of you, So that makes me incredibly dangerous heading into New Years Ball. You've all been warned."
At the end of the video we will see the Decadence logo flashed on the screen with the date and time. They may also give a brief rundown of the card.
Lately Bob has been on a quest to find himself. He's looking for a sense of purpose. A sense of belonging. He's looking to reconnect with the fans who flock to the arenas and buy the merchandise. Reconnect with the people who watch at home but most of all he wants to reconnect with himself.
He's a damn good professional wrestler and he prides himself on that shit. Somewhere along the way he lost himself. It happens sometimes. When it does it doesn't hurt to take a step back and reevaluate the situation. That's what Bob did and that is what has brought us to the point we are at now.
The Grand Wizard of Professional Wrestling has finally returned. All is right in the world.
