The Unbreakable Bunch

One, two, three.

Hey, did you see that?

How much do you think they pay

for one of these up at the college?

If we hurry, we can get some tools back at my place

and have this thing out of here before sunrise.

I bet that thing's super valuable.

Ow!

Karina, this is Carl.

We've got a nice little assignment for you.

You'll be interviewing a local character.

Nothing but rumor and innuendo surround his past.

The incident you'll be asking him about

is something that maybe your parents or grandparents

may have run across,

but probably only in some far-out supermarket tabloid.

The man you're interviewing

is part of a group at the center of this incident.

Not much is known about him

other than he was a mid-level professional wrestler at best.

No one is sure where he got the money to live so lavishly.

In any event, i-- if any of it is true,

Florida was visited by such a fiendish force,

it can only be called diabolical.

Depending on who you believe,

what happened in that small town was so incredible

that the feds took massive effort in suppressing it.

When you're finished with the story,

you be the judge.

But at the end of it all, ask yourself,

"It couldn't happen here,

or could it?"

Conyers, Georgia.

Sparta, Tennessee.

Sparta, Tennessee.

Great town, great people.

Yeah?

We sold out almost every show there.

Nice.

Murphy, North Carolina.

I've got some friends in Murphy.

Thank you for meeting me today.

Well, I'm happy to meet with you.

Just one thing, honey.

In the past, when I've been interviewed,

questions seem to drift towards politics.

When it comes to world issues and things like that,

that's not something that I comment on.

I-- I-- I'm just an entertainer,

and I'd rather keep all that to myself.

Do you think all entertainers

should keep those opinions to themselves?

-No. -No?

-I'm not saying that. -Okay.

Well, if we can't discuss politics,

do you think we can discuss the Blood and Thunder Tour?

Well, of course we can.

That's a wonderful memory.

That was all Jock Holiday's idea.

Do you know who Jock Holiday was?

I'm familiar with the name, but just vaguely.

He was a big name in wrestling.

Do you know much about wrestling?

I covered my high school's wrestling team.

Let me tell you a little bit about pro wrestling.

Pro wrestling can be a great life, a good time.

It can be a real adventure.

Nothing beats getting paid for doing what you love.

You see, it all starts with a dream.

As a young man, you're told

that everything you desire is through those ring ropes.

Fame, wealth,

and the kind of freedom that comes with success.

Very few will ever achieve that freedom.

And those that do...

well, they find it's a much tougher life

than they expected.

The young wrestler learns most of his hard lessons on the job.

Never turn your back on an opponent.

That's a good one to remember.

This business is not for everyone.

And while it can be a very selfish business,

it hasn't been all bad.

But at the end,

it's not about the fame, money, or titles.

I never won a belt. Not one.

Of course, the good part of that is,

I never lost one either.

What really counts are the experiences.

The friendships, the road trips,

the towns you visit, the people you meet.

The camaraderie.

And most of all, the stories.

They live on forever,

and they get bigger and better each time they're told.

When I think about it,

most of it comes down

to who you choose to associate with.

And I was lucky enough

to fall in with a pretty good bunch.

Anyhow, back to Jock.

Jock was what every wrestler wanted to be.

The all-American.

A man of stature, yet humble.

He could be the underdog

and the fan favorite all at the same time.

He held nearly every title there was.

Pro wrestling was his life.

Everyone knew him in the world of wrestling,

and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who didn't like him.

He once put together a tour with the USO.

Many of the top stars were involved.

They toured just about the whole world.

This group, they considered themselves unbreakable.

That's the name wrestlers give themselves

who just keep going, no matter what.

Jock was the unofficial ringleader.

He was still touring when others were calling it quits.

Retirement. He kept going for the fans.

And maybe he really didn't have anyone to go home to.

Two, three.

Yes, Jock!

Let's go, Jock!

-Yeah, Jock! -So good.

Get him!

You're a Jock Holiday fan, are you?

-Yeah, he's awesome! -I know, right?

He's amazing! Let's go, Jock!

I have a signed program by Mr. Jock Holiday himself.

-Ten dollars. -I'm okay. Thank you.

It's okay. I'm his manager.

I usually get $25 apiece for these.

I figured being a big fan,

I'd give you a discount at ten, but never mind.

How much you say?

Ten dollars. I mean, because you're a fan.

You know what?

Here you go.

You are a smart businessman.

Meet Nicodemus Quarrels.

Last of the old school promoters and number one con man.

This is for you. This is to remember this night.

-Yes, sir. -All right.

Jock, your agent's right next to me.

He just gave me your signed paper.

All right. All right. Shh.

Let's go, Jock!

Yeah. All right.

Good match.

Good match.

Come on, let's go.

Holiday! Holiday!

Holiday! Holiday!

Holiday! Holiday! Holiday!

How many good runs you think

you got left in you, Jock?

You know, I'd recognize that cheap cologne anywhere.

This cologne is $75 an ounce.

I wasn't talking about the price.

What I'm talking about is guaranteed.

What, lawsuits?

Just to get what you still owe me?

No thanks.

No, that's not Jock's wife and daughter.

Well, not really.

You see, early in Jock's career,

he had a great tag team partner, Javi Martinez.

Man, they were good.

One night, there was a horrible, horrible accident.

Javi didn't survive.

Jock, he never got over it.

He kind of blamed himself for what happened.

He made a vow to himself that he'd always be there

for Javi's wife and little girl.

Katie's all grown up now and runs a sober living facility

named in honor of her late father.

She's even helped out a few of our wrestling buddies

from time to time.

Katie was on the verge of paying off the facility

when one of the investors was unable to come through for her,

putting everything in jeopardy.

And although Katie tried to keep the news to herself,

once Jock found out,

he knew he had to step up and do something to help.

I'll take care of this.

Hey there.

Need a ride?

The first Unbreakable that Jock went to recruit

was The Mighty King Tonga,

a wrestler and a man worthy of the name.

The Mighty King Tonga.

In the ring, he was unstoppable.

He was just a massive force that would run through one,

two and sometimes three opponents at the same time.

And out of the ring,

he didn't let anyone mess with him or his family.

He could have kept going like Jock,

but he loved being close to his family.

It was going to take a lot

to convince him to go back on tour.
