FREAK OUT!

Gary “The Freak” Neeley is a professional wrestler who resides in the small town of Cadillac, Michigan. When he isn't pursuing his passion for big time wrestling, he works as a quality inspector for a local factory. On the evening of March 14, 2009, he performed a show in front of a moderately sized crowd at the civic arena in Roscommon, Michigan.
Before driving to the venue, Neeley ceremoniously packed his travel suitcase with some of the more vital necessities of his craft; face paint, hair die, burgundy tights, and custom tailored wrestling boots, along with some not so vital, yet equally important idiosyncratic effects ranging from a Bible to a picture of his young niece. Neeleys' charisma for wrestling is exemplified in the personas of the characters he creates in the ring. When asked what inspired him to develop “The Freak” moniker, he replied in so many words that it is merely an exacerbation of his own personality, proudly devoid of reservation, self-control, and social decorum.
Neeleys' scheduled bout for the evening was with long time associate, friend, and promotor Mike “Zero” Dombrowski. After meeting with Zero and discussing at length their respective ideas for the match, Neeley then spoke with his tag team co-conspirator for the day, James “Dillinger” Allred. Between the three, they devised a scenario which would result in a disqualification victory for the “babyface”, (babyface is a term pro wrestlers use for a crowd favorite), who in this case happened to be Zero. During the peak of Zero's heat, (heat is another euphemism for a series of progressively aggressive and successfully choreographed moves), Dillinger would intervene and force the disqualification win for Zero. After the forfeit victory, Neeley and Dillinger would proceed to beat Zero into a catatonic stupor, which would end in a staged kidnapping and high speed parking lot burnout with Zero captive in the trunk. Things went smoothly until they ran into Zero's sister outside having a smoke in the parking lot. Needless to say, she was concerned. After a brief moment of confusion, she realized what was happening and let the erstwhile escapees go about their business relatively unmolested. Neeley seemed disappointed with the results of the match because it didn't seem like they were in a hurry to leave the scene of the crime, but all in all, he was satisfied. After the match was over, they staged a drop off scene which entailed Neeley and Dillinger throwing Zero's body off a steep embankment. Simply Classic.
