The scene opens inside a tiny gymnasium. The Face of the Franchise and nCw World Champion Steve Awesome enters the musty gym and quickly turns up his nose. There was to be an Indy show tonight. Steve was there to talk with some of the young talent and scout them. He wasn’t exactly thrilled to be making this appearance but he was getting paid so here we go.
“Listen up….I’m going to try and make this as quick as possible.”
All the wrestlers that were training in the small ring gather round to listen.
“You all suck.”
He shrugs his shoulders. He scrolls through his cell phone instead of even looking at any of them.
“You’ll never be as good as someone like me. But you know, if you work really hard you just might come close. Any questions?”
Nobody speaks within the two seconds Steve gave them to respond.
“Good. Send my check in the mail.”
Steve turned to walk away but one of the students stepped forward.
“Yeah. I have a question…..How does it feel to be scared of Falcon?”
Steve suddenly stops in his tracks. He slowly turns around and stares at the one rookie that has stepped forward.
“What did you just say?”
Some of the other rookies try to talk him down but the outspoken one keeps going.
“I ask you a question. How does it feel to be scared of Falcon? I mean, on Collision you were all like….”
The young man plants his hands on his cheeks and screams at the top of his lungs.
“Gahhhhhhh Nooooooo! Not Falcon nooooo!”
He drops down to his knees and pretends to cry to continue his intimidation. The rest of the rookies and wrestlers start to laugh.
“Hey, woah, shut your mouths! Listen….I’m not afraid of Falcon….okay? I acted the way I did on Collision because….”
He takes a second to consider an alternative
“....because I was just shocked. Yeah. I just defended the world title. My adrenaline was pumping and then all of a sudden this video pops up out of nowhere and I was really like…”
His eyes go wide and his jaw drops to overstate the amount of shock he claimed to be in.
“Oh wow, not him!? Ya know?”
No one seems to buy it.
“I was more like “oh? Nooooo? Not him?” You know because I was so shocked….you really gotta listen to my tone hear....”
They all just continue to laugh.
“Shut up! Shut your damn whore mouths! I am NOT afraid of Falcon! And even if I was, which I'm NOT! It doesn’t matter because ever since he made that spooky little video there hasn’t been one peep out of the little bird.”
Steve says, convincing himself back into a confident smirk.
“He has had a week to answer Leonard Fox’s invitation. I bet he’s the one that’s scared of me.”
“Pfft, yeah right.”
The class laughs again.
“That’s it! I’m making sure you're doing jobs for the rest of your career. Where is the booker?”
Steve storms off down a hall.
