(A pull cord causes dark purple Roman shades to pull apart and separate as sunlight filters through the clear glass pane bay windows onto a heart shaped bed where Ashton James Riker is sleeping between a pair of scantily clad blonde females in lacey black bra and panties underneath twisted red satin sheets after a vigorous all night long “training session. A suited up Bryan Chase is shown holding the pull cord with a smirk as the sunlight blinds the waking eyes of a groggy Ashton James Riker who peels off the sheets to reveal the WWX International Championship title being the only material worn on an otherwise naked AJR.)
-Bryan Chase-
“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty.”
(Digital pixels blur out any possibility of nudity as we see low rise borocco black and gold Versace boxer briefs being pulled above the knees and snaps snuggly against the waistline.)
“Need… coffee.”

(The hot pink painted toenails on a perfectly pedicured left foot slips into a teal Pantherella men’s Waddington rib luxury cashmere sock, soon following the same process on the opposite bare foot.)
(The socked feet step into mustard yellow Prada Slim Fit Wool Trousers, one pant leg at a time.)

It’s been said that you can judge a person by their shoes. A report by researchers at the University of Kansas has revealed that people can predict with a striking 90% accuracy personality traits of strangers based solely on their shoes. For this study, participants were asked to look at hundreds of pairs of shoes and to guess the age, gender, social status and a variety of personality traits of the owner. For example, subjects were asked to determine whether the shoes belonged to an extrovert or introvert, a liberal or conservative, how emotionally stable the wearer was, whether they were open, conscientious and agreeable and even how solid their relationship was with their partners.
Obviously the participants were able to fairly easily guess the age, income and gender of the people who owned the shoes. More surprisingly, however, they were also able to determine ninety percent of the personality traits as well.
So, William. What do your shoes say about your personality?
Pricey shoes belonged to people with high incomes, and men tend to have more expensive shoes than women. Showy and brightly colored shoes belong to extroverts, and shoes that are not new but have been well cared for are worn by conscientious people.
The most agreeable people tend to wear practical and functional shoes, while ankle boots are more the choice of aggressive folks. Apparently calm personalities choose to wear uncomfortable looking shoes.
People who lean more to the left on the political spectrum tend to wear ‘shabbier and less expensive’ shoes than more conservative people. Plain and boring shoes tend to belong to ‘aloof and repressive’ characters. Shoes that were new but still showed signs of extreme polishing indicated relationship ‘attachment anxiety.’
Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers.
So, what are you wearing? ‘Aggressive’ boots? ‘Attachment anxiety’ polished new shoes? Or scuffed ‘liberal’ loafers? Whatever you’ve chosen to go with today, you’re apparently telling the world a lot about yourself.

Frankly, I doubt that Steen has given it much thought but chances are that “the smoothest operator in wrestling” knows the importance of looking, acting and conducting himself as the bonafide superstar stud he portrays himself to be.
-AJR-
Perception is reality. Dress up for the position you seek. How many politicians do you see in hoodies? Look the part. Want to be the champ? You first need to look and act like one.
(Ashton James Riker stands in front of a golden framed full length mirror and wraps his teal tie into a double Winsor knot while casting a stare at Bryan Chase through the mirror’s reflection.)
-AJR-
Any word from Steen’s agent?
(Chase holds up a silencing finger to his lips while dialing digits on his iphone.)
-Bryan Chase- I found his contact through WWX human relations and giving him a ring now.
-AJR-
Don’t dilly-dally on that toy of yours all day. Time is money.
Bryan Chase: “C’mon man. Pick-up. Pick-up. Pick-up. Dammit I hate leaving voice messages.
Well it’s too late to text now..
Hey! Hello Jerry. This is Bryan Chase calling.
It is my understanding that you represent an individual that my client is very much interested in doing business with in the near future. .
This includes inside AND outside of the ring.
My number should show up on your caller i.d. So feel free to return my call and maybe we can further discuss plans of working on potential projects in the near future.
Here’s one quick pitch. You seen the masked singer and the masked dancer, right? Here’s an idea for a new television pilot. You ready? It’s called “the masked wrestler!” It will be an elimination style tournament of unmasked wrestlers to crown a “Golden Mask” champion for male competitors and a “Diamond Mask” champion for female competition.
Think about it.. the ratings could be yuuuuuuge! (That’s Trumpanese for huge)
(Bryan Chase watches Ashton James Riker disappear into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.)
-Bryan Chase-
Truth be told, Ashton James Riker has undergone a bit of an identity crisis over the years and this “condition” has only escalated ever since his match with the returning Jake Devine.
Apparently a screw got knocked loose in that match because in my hum ble opinion, Ashton James Riker has undergone a bit of a mid life identity crisis but my client views it as “evolving” himself as a modern day renaissance man, a person with many talents and areas of knowledge. Very much like the man you represent as the challenger to the current reigning, defending, undisputable International Champion.
Many labels can be applied to my client and several names have been used to describe the past career paths of the artist formerly known as Astonishing Ashton. Formerly known as the masked martial artist Sensei Sugoi. Prior to that Astonishing Ashton was known to be a famous former supermodel turned Rock star. Now AJR is a wildly successful Cologne Entrepreneur turned International Champion with his sites set on now becoming a movie star in Hollywood. This is where you come in. It is my understanding that you have connections with certain people who can make things happen.
(The flushing of a toilet and flashing warning of low bater life at 10% prompts Chase to wrap it up.)
--Bryan Chase-
Gotta go but remember what I said and think on it. People can choose to let the past define who they are or you can decide to rewrite your own history. Let’s be real here. The fans along with the locker room are sick and tired of the same names WWX corporate brass push as their favorite flavor, week after week, month after month and year after year. who repeat the sam e typical repetitive verbal diarrhea spewed at nauseating levels. These select few individuals get chance after chance, opportunity after opportunity. Wash, rinse, repeat. It’s time for that to change. Think about it.
The cool factor vs thee Marquee Player.
The International Icon vs the smoothest operator in wrestling.
This can be a big money draw if we play our cards right. Ya dig?
(The bathroom door opens as Chase hits “end call” as the one sided conversation ends.)
-AJR-
Stop looking at butt Kegel exercises on pornhub and hit the record button. It’s promo time..
Slick Willie Steen.
Soon we will step through those ring ropes and put ten toes down on that canvas as we square up and rumble it out to determine who is more deserving of wearing this ten pounds of gold currently worn around the waist of quite possibly the greatest WWX international Champion of all time! Big words?
Perhaps. Ask yourself this though.. Since when have I not been able to back up what I say when the stakes are higher than the former WWX tag team 420 on April 20th at 4:20 pm. You are looking at a WWX World Series MVP, a former world champion and your current reigning, defending, undisputed International Champion. A title that, in my humble opinion, has quickly become the backbone of this company, held by the most entertaining, talented, charismatic superstar in the game today. That being m.e. ME, of course. There are so many talented wrestlers who tried to break the bubble knocking on the glass ceiling with a hammer only to be forced back down to mid-card fodder. Well this is your salvation.
(He taps the faceplate of the championship gold being worn around his waist while wearthe finest and most expensive duds money can buy. One of the perks of being crowned Champion.)
So to the WWX gatekeepers who held others back to extend their fifteen minutes of fame for years at the rest of the roster’s expense? I want to sincerely say thank you in the most genuine possible way from the bottom of my blackened heart because now you have given me a purpose. A reason to give a damn about making WWX great again! It SHOULD go without saying just how much of a threat that a motivated Ashton James Riker can be as history has shown in the past and a determined AJR is nearly impossible to beat. Just re-watch how I ran through the entire roster to become the WWX World Series MVP on the WWX network if you need a reminder or refresher course and just like fine wine, Astonishing Ashton only gets better and more potent with age.
(AJR stares down the barrel of the camera phone with a knowing smirk and an aura of confidence.)
