It’s April 26th 2016.
The next 3 days will cement the legacy of Bryan Laughlin, and begin as the lore of Jett Wilder.
From Miami to Japan the world will scream their names.
Their team name they came up with on a whim? WildLin.
But that’s not what they’ll remember.
The professional wrestling history books will simply remember them as a dynasty.

The distant sound of a school bell ringing can be heard as the mixed sounds of young, impressionable children rummaging about the hallways struggling to make it to their next class can be heard.
The camera scene opens in a hallway on two feet covered in fresh black Converse Chuck Taylor shoes as they walk down a hallway with alternating blue and white tiles. The tightened shot pulls back and widens out to see a man in black jeans and a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow. Artistically original ink covers his arms as he reaches out to the handle of a door and opens it to a classroom of kids who all stop what they are doing as he walks in the class.
“Kids. Mrs. Taylor isn’t going to be in today. She had car troubles – I’ll be your substitute…”
The camera spins around from the children’s reaction as they all slowly go to their seats still looking at their substitute inquisitively – their sub is Bryan Laughlin. He writes his name on the board and sits down at the desk.
“What class is this anyways?” he asks the kids with his brow raised.
A young girl says quietly, “World Geography….”
Bryan nods and looks around before throwing his hands in the air, “Well what the hell… I’m going to Japan soon to wrestle. Raise your hand if you’re a fan of professional wrestling…”
A couple children raise their hands and one kid in the back chimes in, “You’re Bryan Laughlin…. I’m a big fan of Jett Wilder”
“Of course you are… why wouldn’t you be?!” Bryan replies enthusiastically, “He’s actually going to be my tag team partner. We’re going to compete for the NJFC Tag Team Championships….In fact…”
Bryan grabs his phone from his pocket and after a few swipes of his finger he brings up the tentative list of teams in the tournament.
“Today instead of talking about World Geography let’s talk about superiority and things that suck. For instance – the other tag teams in this tournament… they suck and Jett and I are superior. Here’s why…”
He looks down at the list, “Here… the Wrecking Crew… a team just as bland and unexciting as their name. Then we have two teams who call themselves assassins. Assassins versus assassins – like in that Mr and Mrs Smith movie and just like that movie I can only assume those two teams will put you into a boredom induced coma. Fortunately you’ll be awoken by the exciting nature of the Bloody Best Friends which if you think about it is probably a reference to their menstruation cycle.”
The kids look at Bryan confused before one girl raises her hand and before she can start Bryan looks up and cuts her off
“Ask your mom what that word means I don’t have time for that – the body is a beautiful thing but unfortunately for the Beautiful Bodies it takes more than just that to win a tournament. It takes a dangerous team of two men who are willing to put their lives on the line with the stamina to…” Bryan stops and lets out an audible sigh, “Speaking of danger there’s the World’s Most Dangerous Team, which sounds a lot like a clip show about cop chases and bike stunts on a cable television channel. Don’t watch too much TV kids, otherwise you’ll end up spelling words like Cashe with a K. Undyingly disgusting and unoriginal. Like replacing the S at the end of a word with a Z. You see there’s a lot of unoriginality to be seen. Carbon copies of previous trends before them. That’s all you see anymore and it’s severely important that you don’t slip into that norm. But don’t go too far – otherwise you’ll end up coming up with a tag team name more interesting and provocative than your actual ability. Timetus Mortuem? Can anyone even begin to tell me what that means?”
The children shake their heads in unison towards Mr. Laughlin
“Exactly. More sizzle than steak.” Bryan puts his phone down in front of him and rubs his temples,”Guys, Gals. It’s important that you listen to what I am about to tell you. Life isn’t a sprint. Pace yourself and show up when it counts in small doses and you’ll be successful. In the NJFC Tag Team tournament you’ve got one team with members that are impactful in the world. WildLin. The Dynasty and soon to be NJFC Tag Team champions. I’m letting you in on the secret now so you can be cooler than all the other kids. You see myself and Jett with the amazing mom-ager of the century Carmella are going to travel to Japan as 4CW XTV Champion and Pride Champion respectfully. When we get there a shift in the professional wrestling world will be felt. Our names will forever be etched into the history of NJFC and professional wrestling altogether. We’re the team that all others wish they could be. Experience with youth. Technical prowess and high flying ability. The flash and the bang. We’re the whole fucking shebang guys.”
The kids giggle to themselves after hearing ‘the F word’
“Jett and I may not be some storied tag team with experience as allies but what we are is two unstoppable forces that will walk into Japan as wrestlers and walk out as legends. The other teams in this couldn’t hold a candle to the talent held between the two of us. Now go do recess or something..”
