We are all products of our environment.
Most of us come from an environment that encouraged us to grow and succeed
But what about those who weren't so fortunate?
Nature can only do so much before nurture, or a lack of it, takes over.
And when the environment is broken it's products are, somewhat faulty.

"No. He's my brother." Said a thirteen year old Tox, his voice breaking slightly with fear and anxiety as he spoke.
"Fight each other or we fight yous." Replied his much larger uncle, gesturing with his hands towards the large man seated next to him.
"You're gonna do that anyway. You always do." Replied Tox defiantly.
As soon as the words had left his mouth his uncles were on their feet ready to pounce but before they could Shox struck his brother with a right hook. Their uncles stopped in their tracks as the brothers squared up to each other and then sat down and watched as they begun to unload their frustrations through thrown fists.
As the boys began to tire their uncles grew bored of merely watching and rose to their feet. They each grabbed a hole of one of the small boys and slapped them multiple times then dragged to the front door and through them out in to the night. The boys picked themselves up and looked at each other.
"Sorry." Said Shox.
Tox stuck out his balled fist and Shox quickly met it with his own. The boys turned an walked towards the stairwell, as they moved a quick shove was exchanged between them followed by a brief smile
"The future is predictable for these two"... - Ray Hudson, August 16th 2018
Two things Ray Hudson probably didn't see in the Brix City Boyz future was weeks without a televised match and a last second cameo appearance at Good Time.
That's the thing with the future, regardless of how clear it may seem you never know what might be waiting around the corner to change it without a seconds notice.
With the passing of time the changes seem to have brought things back to where they were, and with Toll Gang and The Shieldmaidens once again coming in to conflict wrestling journalists and bloggers alike have been hard a work throwing the same questions in to the ether.
With that issue bubbling away under the surface the Brix City Boyz are scheduled to take on a new team consisting of Emily Falls and Ariana Bentley.
And as usual, despite the inquisitive minds of others there are only two questions floating around the heads of the Brix City Boyz.
Question number one.
Who the realest?
And to follow up, question number two.
Is it you?

Skrabal stanzas leans back in a wooden folding chair watching on as Tox and Shox spar with each other in the ring in front of him. The twin brothers dodge and weave, both looking for openings to slip in gloved fists and when they find one they exploit it with power, the sound of the blows echoing around the gym. The buzzer sounds to signify the end of their final round but they ignore it, instead choosing to continue fighting.
Skrabal sits up in his chair, paying close attention to the situation in the ring as the pair continue to fight with increasing intensity. Within seconds any sense of finesse and technique has been thrown out of the window as the brothers being exchanging punches with neither of them attempting to block or dodge incoming blows, their fists impact on each others flesh with quick succession sending sweat and spit flying.
They throw heavy punches that connect at the same time and each of them is knocked back a couple of steps. They spit out their mouth guards and pull their gloves off with their teeth then approach each other with their guard up.
Having seen enough Skrabal Skrabal gets to his feet.
"Oi, allow it, that's enough!"
Skrabal commands them to stop and the brothers glance at him then at each other. They drop their guard at the same time and exchange a quick fist bump before leaving the ring together. Once on the gym floor they both exchange a quick fist bump with Skrabz before walking past him towards the showers. Skrabal turns and watches them walk away, shaking his head slightly in disbelief as Tox and Shox give each other a shove and exchange a brief smile.

Shox "Da Problem" Tox "Da Rebel"
Tox and Shox stand side by side with their backs to a wall in an unknown location glaring at the tripod mounted camera in front of them.
"This our first match in weeks."
"Now all they got for us is Emily Falls?"
"Ariana Bentley?"
"That's what they give us?"
"That's fine by us!"
"This their first match as a team?"
"That's fine by us!"
"Coz it might be their last too."
"And that's fine by us!"
"Coz if we didn't prove ourselves already..."
"We got no problem with doing it again."
"Barf Sisterz..."
"Do we look like slaves?"
"We look like we just jumped off the ship?"
"We look like we belong in chains?"
"We look like we need to be whipped?"
"Is that what we look like to you?"
"You wanna know what you look like to us?"
"Nothin'!"
"Coz real recognize real."
"And we don't recognize you!"
