The scene opens to CJ Walker watching the attempted interview with Nathaniel and then with Ragsdale on his phone. The screen goes full view to show Ragsdale's tirade about he and his people being called 'Meth Heads' and 'White Trash' and how he's going to get the XHF Network to make it right and all of that non sense.
He closes his phone and slips into his pocket,turning to face the camera as we see he is standing in a wooded area. The fall has come and many of the trees have lost their leaves. CJ crosses his arms and strokes his beard with an amused smirk.
CJ: "Cliff, can I call you Cliff? Or should I call you Clifford The Big Redneck Dumbass. You don't get it do you? Nathaniel isn't marketable because he is that type of southern man, that people look at and instantly their brains flip back to those anti drug ads for Meth. Do you think UP Wrestling and the XHF Network want to promote a guy that shows up on their posters and graphic design ads looking like it's his mugshot? Cliff you know me, I'm a southern man myself. Born and raised right here in Arkansas. I drive a pick up as my daily driver. I know how to fix cars, hunt and skin a buck, I can redneck fix almost anything Cliff. But there's a difference between Nathaniel and myself. There's a difference between Trash."
CJ motions towards the camera as if regarding Cliff, Nathaniel, and Brittany. Then motions to himself as the camera 180° turns with him to show his nice big two story, four car garage, estate nestled in the Ozark mountains.
CJ: "And Class. Cliff, I'm marketable because I'm the every man. I'm the guy who busts his ass at his job, constantly gets over looked for opportunities, and stands up to fight the good fight. I'm the blue collar boy that people want. They want to see me wrestle, they want to see what entertaining thing I do next or what outlandish and mostly accurate thing I say next. I have a good look, I have marketability. They can pump out Viking Strong CJ Walker action figures and they will sell. Slap my likeness and catchphrases on a t shirt and they'll sell. Put an action shot of me on posters and banners and Pay Per View buy rates go up. I am making UP Wrestling a lot of money, I am making the XHF Network alot of money. I can draw money, Nathaniel can not plain and simple. So go on your little quest, wave the conspiracy theory flag, bitch, cry, moan, and threaten whoever you want. But at the end of the day I am going to Vendetta, Me! Alone! No last minute changes and three way dances for the World Openweight Title. Me! Alone! One on One with Devin Bishop."
CJ stopped and changed his posture, he was getting excited and amped up. He stared into the camera
CJ: "The fact is, Devin Bishop has had my number three times. Maybe everyone is right."
His time goes from excited and amped to a more calm and stoic tone.
CJ: "Maybe I can't beat Devin Bishop when it matters."
He looks down as the camera begins to zoom in. But then his head slowly raises, a small smirk on his lips.
CJ: "But What If I Can?"
Those words echo into the distance as the camera fades to black.
