The scene fades in to a soundproof room. Inside is a big desk with microphones all around. Two men are on one side across one another on the opposite side. Around them has the background of a commercial going on.
Commercial Narrator Voice: And how about the Toyota Tacoma? With all that horsepower and from the trusted name that is Toyota, no wonder it was voted to be the best pickup truck in its class. Toyota. Let's go places.
Toyota's little jingle plays and one of the guys presses a button.
DJ Dave: Welcome back to the WMGO radio program on 107.3 - to the DJ Dave and DJ Brain Wave Radio Show! I am DJ Dave!
DJ Brain Wave: And I am DJ Brain Wave!
DJ Brain Wave presses a button and the X Files theme song plays for a full three or four seconds.
DJ Brain Wave: Thanks for turning in again. Now, if you are tuning into this program, we are here with Dr. Jacob Palmer, professor of physics right here in this beautiful city of New York City!
DJ Dave: And he's hear to tell us a lot more interesting things about physics that we didn't know it and how it changes our perception of reality. Welcome back, Doctor Palmer.
Dr. Palmer: Thanks, David. So as I was saying before, we all know that we have five senses. Well... we actually have more, but that's another topic for another time. But one of the senses we know is touch. We introduce ourselves to someone and we shake their hands. We feel their hands as we shake them and the electric signal is created by the parietal lobe within the brain, which also covers other senses like taste.
DJ Brain Wave: Well I must not have a big one because I'm getting a big taste of science right now!
DJ Brain Wave activates a wacky sound effect.
Dr. Palmer: But what if I were to tell you that when I shake your hand, I never actually touch you.
DJ Dave: Say whaaat?!
Dr. Palmer: I'll explain it like this. So we are all made up of atoms. How many? Well, for a 70 kilogram person, equivalent to roughly 140 pounds, they are made up of ten atoms.
DJ Dave: Only ten!?
Dr. Palmer: Well, ten times ten. And you multiply it by ten. You do this twenty-seven times. The thing about exponents is they get big verrrry quickly. Then you take that multi-billion number and then multiply that behemoth by seven.
DJ Brain Wave: Well I'm like double that weight so I got to lose some of those atoms, lollercoasters! But tell me, what does all of this have to do with touch!?
Dr. Palmer: Well I'm glad you asked. See, the interesting about atoms is that they actually don't touch each other. I won't get too deep into it because I don't want any of your lovely listeners to fall asleep behind the wheel.
DJ. Brain Wave presses a button and a snore sound effect hits.
Dr. Palmer: but because of several complicated topics such as quantum entanglement and the fact that the majority of our cells is inside of the nucleus, which is at the center of the cell, and leaving the electrons outside, the electrons with their negative charge repel other electrons of other atoms. Remember how they say opposites attract? Same principle. Because the charges are the same, they repel one another. That means that they actually push each other away from themselves.
DJ Dave: So that means...
Dr. Palmer: Yes. That means that we don't actually touch each other. We just think that we do because our brain tells us that we do by sending that message. It's just one of the many beauties of science!
DJ Dave: That's amazing! But we are out of time for this segment. Thank you so much for stopping by. Folks, again, that was Dr. Palmer, professor of physics at Columbia University in this beautiful city.
DJ Brainwave: Thanks, doctor! I'm not so sure that the courts will see it that way, but give it a shot and see what happens. We'll be sure to cover the events from that court case. Now be careful going home and avoid the elementary schools on your way back. Anyways, next up, we are heading into the world of professional wrestling as the XHF Network's very own Michael Storm is joining us today to discuss the XHF Rumble! To remind all of you, the XHF Rumble is taking place on Sunday, April 26th! You can find it on the XHF Network Channel or at XHFNetwork.com!
Michael Storm gives a weird look as he passes Dr. Palmer, who is exiting the room. Michael Storm sits down where he sat and he looks out of the room, uneasy as he begins to clip on the microphone at his collar.
DJ Dave: Michael, welcome to DJ Dave and DJ Brainwave Radio Show! How are you today!?
Storm: What did you mean by courts? And elementary schools?
DJ Dave: So Michael, the Rumble is coming up in two short weeks. How do you feel?
Storm: Did that guy molest a child? Was this him trying to use science to exonerate himself from being the scum of society? Are these the kind of guests you invite to your radio shows?
DJ Dave: Look, we can look to the past and talk about what may or may not have allegedly happened, even though we are all presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or we can look to the future and in the very near future, you will be in the ring with many other wrestlers like yourself. Just how many wrestlers will be in that ring?
Michael Storm shakes his head. His voice is still uneasy, but he's trying to ignore the creepy undertones of what has been happening so far at his stay in the building.
Storm: Well, sometimes they tell us. Sometimes they don't. The last time I was in the Rumble, it was advertised as seventy-five people. Last time, they didn't tell us, and it was around fifty. We don't know now, but I'm anticipating the number to be very big.
DJ Brain Wave: How big, big boy?
Storm: ...
DJ Brain Wave whispers.
DJ Brain Wave: ...How big?
Storm: ...I'm guessing it will be back to that seventy-five number. Maybe not exactly, but around that number. I'm sure a lot of the regulars will be back. The Trons. That bear that loves to hang around here sometimes, or some sort of variation. I know the XHF Network has a mechanical bear somewhere. It's an odd place. Of course, several hopefuls who come here and try to win without any sort of realistic shot. Nelly Angel, for example. He comes to mind.
DJ Dave: And how about Anthony Caffrey? He's in the Rumble too, right?
Storm: For some time, yes. I don't expect he'll be there all too long. He's much like a nerd in high school with a 'Kick Me' sign taped to his back. He's nothing but wrong attention, but finds the gall to go after me for the promos that I've listed when all I've done was responded to the numerous men that have gone after me. Everyone is going around with a stick up their ass talking about how they're going to win the Rumble and then there's me, just putting a little bit of truth in there.
DJ Brain Wave: But isn't Anthony Caffrey really good? I saw this one episode of Prestige where he even beat you. He made you tap out!
DJ Dave: That was some really good wrestling! Really makes you WORK HARD!
DJ Brain Wave presses a button and the sound of a man romantically groaning plays. DJ Dave raises an eyebrow, mutes his microphone and turns to his partner.
DJ Dave: Dude, that sounds so wrong! We told you to get a sound of a man groaning like he's lifting weights, not like he's-
DJ Brain Wave: That's the closest I could get!
Storm: To answer your question, Caffrey did beat me. He thinks I'm ignoring it, but that ignorant dolt doesn't even understand his win, so I'm not sure how he could understand his losses. I didn't tap to Caffrey because I couldn't beat him. I tapped to Caffrey because I couldn't get to him. He had me in a hold I couldn't escape, but I wasn't hurt. I wanted to hurt him. I tapped because it was a mere tally in my loss column. It's a simple statistic. I can fall asleep at night knowing I lost a match. Numbers aren't real. Pain is. At the end of the day, we don't think about the numbers, but if you asked Caffrey what happened after that match, he'll tell you because I'm sure he can remember what Fifty Two Seconds of Hell feels like. The way that I see it, it's a mutually beneficial trade.
DJ Dave: Huh?
Storm: Well, Caffrey's ego can't handle a loss and I wanted my revenge. I was willing to take that tally on the loss column and I guess Caffrey was willing to cry after being deprived of oxygen for long enough to lose consciousness. The guy was so pitiful he had to be thanked by the man he lost to, but I beat. Seriously, folks. This is Prestige 43. Not too hard to find. I know Caffrey will have no issues with me advertising the show. He doesn't give a shit as long as he gets that gold star. But this radio show isn't about Anthony Caffrey.
DJ Dave: That's right. You've been focusing every individual promo on a certain wrestler. Who's it going to be this time? Will it be Seth Dillinger? I know he's been shooting some promos of his own recently.
Storm: As much as I'd love to, the answer today is no. I don't even know why he's doing it. He's not even in the Rumble. I haven't seen his name on the sign up lists, even though I've seen Dylan's name. Seems like he learned how to shut his mouth and use a pen so that's something. As much as I'd love to get into the ring with Seth, I think the XHF Network and the AWF have been giving him a month off to seek therapy and instead of talking to a shrink, he talks to the entire XHF Network audience. Wasted of a decent opportunity, if you ask me. No, I'm focusing my efforts on someone much larger.
DJ Brain Wave: Much larger? Who's larger than a former two-time X*Crown Champion and the current AWF Prestige Champion? Are you referring to Zoran Sainovic, the current X*Crown Champion?
Storm: Absolutely not. I've already wasted enough of my time on him. I'm speaking a bit more literally. I'm focusing on Tarrasque.
DJ Brain Wave: Ah. Him. Is he concerning you at all?
Storm: Not really. I've seen him in AWF. I've watched the matches. He's big. He's strong, sure. But he's also a bit sluggish. The only reason I'm speaking about him is because it'd be rude not to. He already spent a lot of time talking about us, and for someone who gets overlooked despite his large size, it'd be in poor sport to act like he doesn't exist.
DJ Dave: That's very nice of you. So do you want to respond to any of the things he has said?
Storm: Like what?
DJ Dave: Huh?
Storm: Well, I'm sure you've seen of his promos. The guy doesn't really talk much. He just stands there, looks intimidating and lets his looks do the work.
DJ Dave: He said that you were too busy with the Rumble because you play with cats?
Storm: ...He said something like that even though he didn't say it nearly as... eloquently as you have. All he really did was think that I couldn't win the XHF Rumble because there was a cat that popped into the room as I was leaving. I didn't even notice the cat until I was already on the way out. So how exactly would I be too busy playing with cats to win the Rumble? How was I even playing with that cat to begin with?
DJ Dave: I guess... I guess you couldn't.
Storm: Exactly. Now what else has he said about me?
DJ Dave: Well... To my memory he hasn't said anything else. Has he said anything else, Brain Wave?
DJ Brain Wave: No. I don't think so.
DJ Brain Wave presses and the "Wah Wah Waahhhhhhhhhhh" sound plays.
DJ Dave: In that case, what's your strategy with Tarrasque?
Storm: Well, my strategy for him is simple.
Storm pauses.
Storm: Nothing.
DJ Dave: ...Nothing?
Storm: He's big. He's a target all by himself. He doesn't have to do a thing. The fact that he towers head and shoulders above everyone else means that everyone already has their eyes on him. Nothing against him. It's genetics. Unless he drank his mouth and ate his veggies, it's not his fault that he grew up to be that big. It's an advantage for him, sure. But it's also a disadvantage and if I'm going to survive long, I have to choose my battles wisely. I can't just go battling a behemoth and take on Goliath as... David, no pun intended.
DJ Dave: None taken.
Storm: To last as long as I want to, which is the inevitable conclusion, I will have to conserve my energy. I need to pace myself. I need to take my time. I can't be a bull in a China closet like I imagine Tarrasque will, taking down every target in plain and open sight. I can't act like X is the limit. I'm here to win and the way to win is not to be a big and strong... yet empty house. Instead, be like a library. Full of knowledge and tact, with a fully diverse and chronicled history of mistakes and thoughtful decisions from those of previous Rumbles. This wasn't my first XHF Rumble. This hasn't even been my second. I've been in several Rumbles and I've lost them all, but I'm done losing. Every mistake I've made I have learned from because the most painful thing from being thrown over the top rope isn't from hitting the floor. It's from knowing I've lost. I swore I'd never do that again, so I applied what I've learned and used it toward the next Rumble. And again I lost.
DJ Dave: And after enough times, eventually you'd succeed?
Storm: Correct. And I'm getting older. I'm not like Death Trap, who I think is the only serious competitor who has done this longer than me. I have less creaks in my joints and more wind behind me. I'm a library but not so old that the ink fades from the pages.
DJ Dave: I'm loving the energy!
Storm: And I'm going to win this XHF Rumble one way or another/
DJ Brain Wave: Yes!
Storm: And I won't let anyone stop me.
DJ Dave: YES!
Storm: Try as you may, I will throw down every tool at my disposal to turn this win from a dream to a reality.
DJ Dave: Now what do you want to tell the world, Storm!?
Storm: Never EVER
DJ Dave: Go up against Michael Storm and expect to win!
Storm: No!
DJ Brain Wave: ...NO!?
Storm: Never EVER ...go to a radio talk show with people who invite child molesters and expect much.
DJ Brain Wave: ...
Storm: Oh and Rat, if you're listening...
Michael Storm looks down to his sneakers. He pulls one off and brings it in front of the camera.
Storm: I'm wearing Reeboks, you dumb fuck. If that's the biggest insult you have then I think you left your last brain cell in 2004 when your professional wrestling career really ended. Go find Pillman. I think he has what you're looking for.
Michael Storm pulls off his clip on microphone and walks out of the room. The scene fades to black.
