A lot of people might laugh and mock John Doe. It's a knee jerk reaction when you see the way he looks and presents himself. John Doe is a fighter though. The things he's been through in his life have forced him to scratch and claw to find his way in this mystery called life. Surprisingly so he's done while keeping a pessimistic attitude.


- Continued -

The lights and cameras continue to beat down on the wild looking man known only as John Doe. One would think a man of his background and lack of education, he'd be in a disarray. That was far from the truth. Despite it, or perhaps because of it, John Doe looks at ease and perfectly at home in the spotlight. He has that rare charisma to him you wouldn't expect. He seems genuinely likeable, and in comfortable in his own skin.

On the other hand, beyond the cameras, his troll of an agent, Larry Slate, is the polar opposite. Even being behind the cameras he has a nervous sweat to him, enough that he dabs his meaty paws all over his balding head to wipe away the beads. Then he shifts his enormous weight from one foot to the other, then wipes the sweat on his pant leg.

The problem with Larry was that not only did the cameras make him feel anxious, but they make him nervous about what might come from John's mouth. Truth was, he knew John. He had been on the road with John for years pushing him hard in bum fights. He kows that while he lacks a formal education and talks like a moron, that John could actually be quite adapt to pick things up when he really wants to. Larry had worked hard to keep John distracted with fighting and television over the years to keep him from putting together the truth. Larry cares nothing for him he is just exploiting a rare talent for his own financial gain.

That made this interview a calculated risk for Larry. He needed this to get Larry's story out there, or parts of it. John's story along with his talent to fight would endear him to fans and make him a lot of money. This interview, however, also meant that if John or this interviewer, Penny, picked up on certain nuances, he was done. Exposed.

Larry leans back in his chair behind the cameras while the chair creeks, about to burst under his mammoth weight. He lifts the shirt collar this time to swipe the sweat from his brow while he listens with hesitation and fear to John as his interview continues.

Penny Wilson: So the boy with no name became John Doe, that's how it happened?

John Doe: Yes it is, ma'am. I's had no name none of dem knew 'bout. So John Doe seemed like the right choice ya know?

Penny Wilson: Have you ever thought about changing it now that you're an adult?

John Doe: Not really. It seems to suit me just fine it does. I mean, I'm nuttin' special. I'm just plain ol' John Doe.

Penny Wilson: But you are something special, John. Not many people, well, to be frank, like you, can even catch a hint of what you have.

John Doe: Maybe, but I's owe all that to my manager, Larry Slate. Without that big loveable guy John Doe would just be another bum fightin' on the streets and diggin' in dat there dumpster behind Denny's.

Penny Wilson: Maybe, but maybe not. But let's move on.

Larry, off behind the cameras, is rocking his swollen feet back and forth, when he lets out a sigh of relief like a weight had been lifted.

Penny Wilson: So you grew up in what you called like a commune for the homeless. What was that like for you?

John Doe: Why it was great ma'am. I mean, there's lottsa kids out there who don't even have a parent they git to see who gets to raise 'em up, they don't. Other kids, well they've have dem parents are split ya know, so they only see 'em sporadically...did I use that word right?

Penny Wilson: You did...

John smiles his toothy smile.

John Doe: Good. But anyways, me, good ol' John Doe, I didn't have that problem. Ya see, I's grew up with a whole slew of parents and I's learned all's I could from 'em. There was ol' Martha, who taught me how to hide all my stuff in plain sight. There was Jimmy, who was a scrapper, he was. Vietnam vet and all. He taught me alls about all kindsa pressure points on da body. Then there was Larry, who taught me da fine art of pandhandling. Lucy taught me how ta run a three-card Monte. See here, ma'am. While ol John Doe didn't go to those fancy smancy public schools and learn about people like George Washington and ol' Honest Abe, good ol' John Doe had a different kinda education. With that many parents I learned how ta survive and keep my pretty smile while I do it. Sometimes that's so much better than understanding multiplication and that there division.

-To Be Continued....Again-

Dat man up above, the eye that there sky that they call God, must be watching good ol' John Doe and must really have takin' a liken to me. First he blessed me with the ability to fight like the dickens. Then he blessed me with a manager who could get me my first real job. Now it's like good ol' John Doe has hit the jackpot 'cause even after I lost my first day on the job I did, I's gotta chance to fight for a belt. If I's win that is.

Yeah good ol' John Doe lost. But it happens, it does. I promise ya. It's like when you watch Rocky III, ya know, the one with Mr. T, Rocky gets his behind kicked by Clubber Lange. But you know what my hero Rocky did? He trained with that there Apolllo, he gots more and more determined, and then he fought with heart and he won, he did. Ya see, the loss made him stronger.

That's what I's always done, loss makes me stronger. John Doe's whole life has been 'bout loss. Lots of people would look at good ol' John Doe and they'd call me a loser they would. But when I looks in the mirror I see lots more than all my teeth in good shape, da bushy beard, and this wild hair I's hate to comb or brush. I sees a winner 'cause I got heart.

I's lost but I's still a winner because I's got back up and I's dust myself off and gonna do it again and do it better.

Da man I gets to fight for the chance to fight for a championship is a man I's told I have a lot in common with. Some man named Ironclad. Larry told me about ya. Ironclad is just the opposite of Richie Rich. Ironclad isn't a pretty boy rick kid sucking off the teet of daddy. He's a hard man he is. A hard man like me. He's a fighter, too, looking for that there brawl and it's a head rush for him. I know this, 'cause it's a head rush for me. John Doe loves the feel of a bone crashing into my big ol' fist.

I don't know anything about riding bikes, I don't. I don't know anything about your gangs either, I don't. I watched some Sons of Anarchy, but one thing good ol' John Doe noticed about those types, they's only good in numbers. Get 'em alone and they usually cowards.

What's gonna happen when my size sixteen boot kicks ya in the face? Are ya gonna be able to fight back or are ya gonna be the coward yer kind when left alone.

You gonna be a coward, Ironclad? When ya lookin' across the ring at a 6'5" wild man wit' nuttin' ta lose are ya gonna be able to stand up and fight me knowing yer like Clubber Lange and this the rematch, it is. Or ya gonna do like the other gang bangers on bikes or low riders who hide when left on der own.

See, what's I'm sayin' in case ya can't understand me, John Doe thinks yer a poser. John Doe thinks ya like to ride your bike and act like a big shot who did something bad one time. Maybe ya did. But right now this match is how good ol' John Doe is gonna survive and eat 'til next week. Ya look like a man who has been in life or death spots before, you do. This here match, this here job, this is life or death for John Doe.

I stand between you and a fight, I do. You, ya stand between John Doe and his lifeline.

So bring it Harley Davidson. I'll be your Marlboro Man. I'll fight ya and I'll win ya.[/font]
