(The pressures of working the independent circuit doesn’t come with out a price. You think being a high class, womanizing, party throwing, championship winning, lady pleasing, strip club hopping, money making, ass kicking, son of a bitch, would be fun. Well you’re absolutely right. But certain issues interfere with that life. Today we find Rex Caliber in North Carolina, at a sports psychiatrist office. Dr. Levesque is sitting in a nice leather chair, Rex on the proverbial clichéd couch.)
Dr. Levesque: Mr. Caliber
Rex: Please call me “Nexus”.
Dr. Levesque: OK…Nexus, you wrote down on the registration form that you have been experiencing rash mood changes, where you go from and I quote “happy go lucky Rex, to ass kicking sadistic Rex.” May I ask what your employment status is?
Rex: I’m a pro wrestler!! One half of the NAPW tag champions!!
Dr. Levesque: Oh, I see.. Well not to be encouraging of your “sadistic” manners, doesn’t that help you win matches? See I’ve dealt with other gentlemen in that particular profession. They had some of the same problems you do, their problem and an unofficial diagnosis would state that maybe yours too, was being able to shut off the sadistic side in the streets so to speak.
Rex: Yeah…that’s my problem. I’m afraid of getting arrested for hurting someone in public.
Dr. Levesque: So hurting the person wouldn’t actually flash the sign that something’s wrong, but the thought of going to prison does. What are you like outside of the ring normally?
Rex: Well for the most part, I think people find me as sort of the life of the party, but some call me like…a goof.
Dr. Levesque: What have you done to bring on these adjectives of “GOOF?”
Rex: Well, I’ve did a TV commercial wearing only a belt, I did a battle rap at my club, I pissed in a trash can at that same club…
( Dr. Levesque starts to laugh some.)
Dr. Levesque: I can see that some things you do are humorous…but as some sports stars have found out, being the odd ball brings you an advantage. No one knew how to handle, a guy like say Dennis Rodman in basketball. People thought what he did was crazy, idiotic things. But he won 5 NBA championships, and was one of the best defensive players of all time. He had a good time…but when it was time to turn on the game, he did. Do you want gold, or women or money? Dennis wanted all three and had it. But he had public problems that caused his downfall. You could be on the same track if you don’t learn how to channel negative energy, into motivation to use at work.
Rex: I try to use it…but I find myself being happy, or drunk and then someone says something bad about me or my partner Static, and I lose it. We have this big match with the Dudes and DX for the belts…and I have almost too much motivation. But the other day I almost hurt a crippled man.. because he hopes that I lose Monday.
Dr. Levesque: Who is this guy?
Rex: My former manager, I sort of helped put him in the hospital.
Dr. Levesque: Why did you assault this guy?
Rex: Static told me that he would cost us the Tag Team gold. He had just cost me and him both singles matches , and we couldn’t let him do that again.
Dr. Levesque: That’s a little tough for a mistake. Does gold and money mean that much to you?
Rex: GOLD… symbolizes GREATNESS. Money is power. If you have the gold you get paid more. It’s so simple but yet so complicated.
Dr. Levesque: I don’t see a problem with your in ring aggression…but if that aggression outside the ring costs you money…then you have no one to blame but YOU!! So.. do you see why you must control this anger?
Rex: You just blew my mind Doc...
Dr. Levesque: Admitting that you want help is the first step. Now further sessions will be needed but it won’t be long before you will have self control. Then you won’t have to see me unless you want to.
Rex: Awesome… This wrestling gig is my dream. Being a champion is all I have ever wanted and you just don’t know the lengths I’d go to keep them. I’d sell my soul to Satan himself to have the longest reign of Tag Team champions ever.
Dr. Levesque: How did you become a wrestler?
Rex: My parents are LOADED. But they despised me for taking my trust fund and going to Japan to learn wrestling in a Japanese Dojo. They only give me money now, when I trick them. They bought the building I turned into my Club. My girlfriend talks to them more than I do. She hates me being gone all the time, and she thinks that my building in Edmonton is a sports cards shop. I couldn’t tell her I have a bar, she’d leave me. I need her to take care of my house here in North Carolina.
Dr. Levesque: You have a lot of things going on. You pretty much have to party some to relax don’t you?
Rex: Exactly.. I can’t be serious unless I’m in the ring.
Dr. Levesque: So this match coming up is big right? Tag titles on the line. How have your peers approached your championship status?
Rex: No one respects me and Static. The Dude’s think that DX is their only threat because they were feuding before we shocked the world with the Title win. DX blames the Dudes for the loss. But we’re an undefeated team in tag matches and Static LOVES ladder matches. I dig the no rules atmosphere myself.
Dr. Levesque: Do you think you can win?
Rex: Think it? Doc, I’d bet my bar on it. The Dudes are a flash in a pan team. They won like two matches maybe? One happened to be in the match for the Titles against DX. I beat half their team in XMAS Chaos tagging with the Bruce Richards of DX. I respect what the DX have done…but after two wins, where’s the line drawn saying “Hey the Crimes are that damn GOOD.”
(Rex looks at his watch and notices the half hour is gone.)
Rex: Well, my times up I see.
Dr. Levesque: I’ll have the nurse set up another appointment. Next week we’ll talk more and see how we can further help your anger problems outside the ring.
Rex: Thanks.
(They shake hands, then Rex talks to the nurse and pays before leaving. Rex goes to his car and his phone goes off, with a text message.)
Can you get me tickets to Joker’s Wild. I heard that DX and the Dudes were fighting each other in a Ladder match for the Titles. I have to see this match. Those teams are awesome.

Rex: What the HELL…
(Rex shakes his head like he is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NAPW.)
Rex: Well no one might know we’re in that match… but no one ever sees a bank robbery coming either.
(Rex slams his phone closed and gets in his car.)
Dr. Levesque: Mr. Caliber
