[An airport shuttle pulls up to a curb. It’s ignition keeps running as the driver runs around to the other side to slide open the door.]
[The theme to the show WELCOME BACK KOTTER plays as two of the three Robinson brothers make their way out of the shuttle.]
[Both Jumbo and Jett look tired. Jett is wearing a FLASH t-shirt, while Jumbo wears a Hulk t-shirt. Nerds get mad because of the DC vs. Marvel cross-pollination. Jumbo has noticeably gained some weight. The Christmas holidays were kind to Jumbo’s appetite for food, less kind to his processing of said food. He has a bunch of containers covered in seran-wrap in his hands… leftovers given to him by his mama...]
[Jett pats Jumbo’s stomach. Jumbo looks down and sad. It’s where his high roller title used to be, having lost it to Joe Nobody. A superplex from the top rope cost him the title. He hasn’t told his brothers but he’s lost some sleep over it.]
[Jett Robinson is as thin as ever. He has the same appetite as his brother, but otherwise spends his time running as fast as he can everywhere he goes. His mama spent most of their vacation yelling at him for sprinting at full speed through the house.]
[“SLOW DOWN” she’d tell him. Not just because he was tracking dirt into the house and knocking down furniture but because he’s always rushing to prove himself to his brothers. “You’ll get what you want in time!” His mother would say. And just look at Jett, he got the winning pin vs. Wicked at Vendetta, avenging a whipping at the UPside, countless beatings, injuries, whippings. Jett doesn’t tell his brothers but he hadn’t been able to sleep in weeks until that VERY match.]
[The ramp opens for the eldest brother, Junior Robinson. He has a BITCOIN shirt on and Ray Dalio’s “The Changing World Order” in one hand and what looks like a betting sheet in the other. UP Wrestling has maybe been the most stressful for Junior. His father entrusted him with keeping tabs on his younger brothers, but he is also responsible for their success. Things hadn’t gone the way he planned thus far, but they hadn’t gone poorly either. A title run, a win vs. The Wicked, Junior has nothing to complain about.]
[Now, he has to gameplan a match against The Tennessee Hellraiser’s Coalition, known as THC. Junior knows how important momentum is, and they need some here. The Castle’s are siblings, just like they are. The Castle’s also come from a wrestling lineage, just like them. It will be a challenge, to say the least. It’s just the first step in Junior’s goal for 2022: Get his brothers a tag team title shot.]
[That’s not the only order of business, as he also has to bet on wrestlers for upcoming cards. So many variables, so many things to happen… what should he do? I mean, Joe Nobody just won the title, he wouldn’t lose it in his first defense… would he?]
[Junior joins his brothers and the three look at their new dwellings. They are now longer in an extended stay apartment. They now have rented a 3 bedroom apartment. They are here to stay.]

“Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out”
“Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about.”
“Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around.”
[“SLOW DOWN” she’d tell him. Not just because he was tracking dirt into the house and knocking down furniture but because he’s always rushing to prove himself to his brothers. “You’ll get what you want in time!” His mother would say.

“And what could ever lead ya
(What could ever lead ya)
Back here where we need ya
(Back here where we need ya)”
