~Prologue~
Thunderstruck. What does that mean? It is defined in the online dictionary as being astonished, or dumbfounded. So how does this fit into WFWF?? Thunderstruck is a term used by a few WFWF wrestlers to describe the reason they lost to the former International champion, Thunder. They believe they have the match won, but then out of nowhere, Thunder comes along and miraculously pulls out a victory. Some of the most notable “Thunderstruck” are Obo, Josh Dean, Yukio Blaze, his own partner this week Kurt Burton, Miguel Sanchez, and most recently, Peirce Deville. An amazing list of names, no doubt. Tons of history there. So many names that will go down in history. However, do you see a name missing? Yeah, The High Horror is missing. The High Horror is one of the few people in the locker room who have ‘Thunderstruck’ Thunder. Now, Horror has hear things from people saying that ‘Burton was not well in that match’ or that ‘It was basically a handicapped match because Burton was not all there, and Thunder was all on his own’ That all may be true. Burton and Thunder might not have ben on top of their game, and Dean and Horror might have capitalized on that. But as so many before have said, ‘a win is a win.’ If your shoulders are down on the mat for three seconds, that match is over. If you are the one covering that man, you are the winner. Simple as that. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

~Present~
Walking out of the arena, it got me remembering something. It got me remembering when I was mugged a few months back. On April 16, to be exact. It was a night, much like tonight. Listening, there is a sound of metal clanging. I turn around, but no one is there. Also I had just received the card for next weeks FDS, now Loaded, then it happened. But something even scarier is that the names on the card that I was to face then, are the same now. On April 19, I was to face Thunder and Kurt Burton in a tag team match with Josh Dean being my partner. Dean and I won that encounter. Now I am facing The Axis again, except my partner is the ‘great’ Dave Williams. I plan to win that too. However, unlike last time, Thunder and Burton have what I like to call baggage. And I am planning to use that to my advantage.
Horror looks around and eventually calls cab. The cab pulls up, Horror dumps his stuff in.
Cab driver: Where you wanna go, sonny?
“Take me to the best diner in New York City. Get me there in under 20 minutes, and I will give you a tip double the meter.”
Cab driver: “Woah, thank you dude.”
Riding through the streets of New York City at night. Simply breathtaking. All of the lights, the commotion, everything. There are so many buildings. There are so many big name places, like ABC HQ, but on the other hand there are the cute little shops that keep trying to compete with the top dogs, but always come up short. Much like my match this week. No one doubts that Williams and I have potential, but no one thinks that we can compete with Thunder and Kurt. The Axis has now doubled their size, and their wrestling ability, and most think that I cannot get lucky again and overcome those odds. But they do not know me. My entire career I have been the underdog. And this match is no difference, but Thunder you and Burton know better than anyone what can happen if you underestimate your opponent.
Cab driver: “I am sorry, it took 25 minutes to get here. Sorry if you had a meeting or something, you can keep that tip. You just owe the company $43.98.”
“Well here you go then.”
Horror hands the cab driver a $100 bill.
Cab driver: “But I was late, and….”
“Well, I am bad at math. That looks like enough to me. Bye, and thanks for the ride.”
Cab driver: Thank you sir.
Horror grabs his stuff, winks at the cab driver, and walks into the diner.

An young lady behind a podium looks at Horror and starts to talk.
Waitress: Welcome to Ouest, my name is Jessica. Would you like smoking or non?
“Wherever you have room madam.”
She gives Horror a gentle smile and gets him his seat.
Jessica: Can I get you something to drink?
“Pepsi please.”
As Jessica walks away, I think.
Man, is she hot or what? She’s got great looks. She can’t be any older than 27. She is petite. She is skinny. Beautiful blue eyes, silky looking hair. Her face, one of an angels. But that does not matter now, because she is wearing a ring. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Jessica: Here is your Pepsi, what would you like?
“You…….I mean the chicken salad please.”
She snickers, which makes me think she heard me say You. Damn, that was embarrassing.
Looking around, there are not to many people at the diner. There is the drunk at the bar, two kids who seem to be college age sitting in the back booth, the cashier who is half asleep, Jessica and Horror. So naturally it is quiet. The only real noise is the radio that is tuned into some dumb oldies station.
Jessica walks over with the salad and gives it to Horror.
“Thank you, Jessie, if I can call you that.”
Jessica: Yeah you can. Hey, I have been on my feet all day, do you mind if I sit down?
“Ummm…..sure….. And do you mind if I ask you something?”
Jessica: Anything you want.
“I see you are wearing a band, are you married?”
Did I just ask that? Of course she is. She has a wedding band on. Well time to hear ‘yes’.
Jessica: No, I am not.
“Oh ok. I figured you were, I just want……..did you say no?”
Jessica: Yeah, I am not married. I was, but my husband left me. See, a few years ago, my son was shot and killed. He as only 6.
Holy crap. Coincidences are just my thing tonight. You get the arena and the metal clanging. The card. Now this. Julia left me whenever Xana died. And Xana was only 6. This is getting spooky.
“I am sorry. I know what you went through. See my ex-wife left me when my…..”
Jessica: I know. I know who you are. I recognized you from the second you walked in. I am a huge WFWF fan.
“Wow, I am quite flattered. Not to many people recognize me. And I try to keep to myself at most times.”
Jessica: Well let’s start over. Hi, my name is Jessica Hadam.
“I am Shawn Thomas.”
As we shook hand, a surge went through me. I am not sure what it is, but it was powerful.
Jessica: Did you feel that?
“Yeah….odd. Why do you think?"
Jessica: I can only think of one reason….
She smiles at him, and after a minute or two, he gets the clue.
“Would you go out with me sometime?”
Jessica: I would be delighted.

What a night. It has been filled with coincidences, karma, and little luck. All great.

Supercharged!
You know the saying lightning never strikes in the same place twice? Well whoever came up with that saying will be eating their words by the end of the night. Because, much like April, I will strike again. And again, that will cause you two to lose to Williams and myself.
There is another saying. Thunder is just the noise, but it is lightning that does the work. Which simply means that the thunder is all bark, no bite. While the lightning is all bark, and all bite. People like Kurt Burton and Thunder represent the thunder. While people like Dave and I represent the lightning. And this lightning is now supercharged due to all of the great events that have happened today. So Kurt, Michael, watch out, because these bolts of lightning will be striking soon.
