David Berg is walking around Vegas in awe of the City of Sin. The lights, the people, the gambling, the shows. It is for all intents and purposes a fantasy land. Berg sees that the powers that be at UPW retain confidence in him. He ha been placed into a Fatal Four Way for a the #1 Contenders match for the Sin City Championship. An honor indeed. A chance to complete step one of his redemption. Mr. Edelman has been kind. He made a friend, he thinks in Emma Stone. Now he needs to execute on the plan. Berg walks to his hotel, his now home. He has to work the 10PM – 8AM shift and yeah people will play poker for all that time. He sits, he observes and interestingly time does fly by. He had the same shift last night and then slept like a baby by the pool for about seven hours.
Berg walks up and a bell boy runs up to him.
Bell Boy: Mr. Berg, Mr. Berg
Berg: Yes?
Bell Boy: There is a Mr. Fernandez here to see you. He says you can find him in conference room 301.
Berg: Who?
Bell Boy: Mr. Fernandez
Berg: Well, lets see what this is. Thank you,
(Berg walks to conference room 301, which is a large function hall used for business meetings, wedding venues, etc. Berg walks in and sees a thin young man with a shaved head, black t shirt and a pair of ripped jeans)
Fernandez: Ah…Mr. Berg
(Berg quickly realizes that Fenandez is a funny boy as in one that likes other dudes…not that there is anything wrong with that)
Berg: Hello? Do we know one another
(Fernandez saunters over to Berg and bows)
Fernandez: Ramiro Fernandez at your service.
Berg: My service?
Fernandez: Yes, yes my good friend Emma stated you needed some help and I am here to help.
Berg: Help?
Fernandez: To find the real you of course my boy.
Berg: The real me?
Fernandez: Yes, yes. Oh my apologies. I am a choreographer of many shows in Vegas. Yes, yes. I bring out the best in our acrobats and show people but for you I am just here to give you some advice. It is on the house.
(Berg looks around the room for a fire extinguisher as this dude is flaming)
Fernandez: What are you looking for?
Berg: Nothing
Fernandez: Anyway, you have a big match coming up. Let’s cut the promo for that match. Go ahead.
Berg: Huh? I am not ready.
Fernandez: WRONG ANSWER you handsome devil. In the world of pro wrestling one must always be read to cut a promo.
Berg: Ugh…Look I am facing some of the toughest competitors in UPW. The deranged Isabella von Krauss already beat me once, Jack Ruby beat me and the only one that has not beaten me is Trixie Mars but I have not faced her yet.
Fernandez: Are you doing their promos for them or yourself. That was an F!!! AGAIN!!
Berg: Again?
Fernandez: Do it again!!!!!
Berg: Look, I don’t know
Fernandez: WRONG!!!! You always know. You are the damn King of the Streets. The badass from Jerusalem, who has been shot at, blown up, stabbed and almost run over. You lived your life daily across the street from people trained to hate and kill you are you not?
Berg: Yes
Fernandez: Out of all the high profile warriors in Israel and army participation is mandatory, the country chose you. Correct?
Berg: Yes
Fernandez: Then start acting like it!!!!
Berg: GRRRRRRRRRRR….Listen, Isabella von Krauss beat me because…
Fernandez: NO!!! AGAIN!
Berg: What now?
Fernandez: No one beats the King of the Streets. You are always the best, always the winner. AGAIN!!
Berg: What the hell?
Fernandez: AGAIN!!!
(Berg is heated now)
Berg: Dammit. Listen, Isabella von Krauss is a spoiled rotten bully. I have seen people like her 100s of times. She and her God Damn clown show got lucky the last time. It won’t happen again. It won’t happen ever. She and her stupid Warhammer organization can go back to Middle Earth. I am going to pound her face into the mat and if those stupid clowns get in my face, I will smash them.
Jack Ruby used that stupid wooden hand the last time we competed. If he believes that I have not learned from that then he is sadly mistaken. I am going to take that wooden hand and light it on fire in the middle of the god damn ring!! He and his stupid cowboy schtick is so boring it works better than his sleeper hold. I am going to kick him so hard he’ll think his left leg is wooden too.
As far as Trixie Mars goes, I am sure I’ll be seeing her at the local strip club in a few weeks collecting dollar bills in her g string…under the name of….Trixie Mars.
(Berg laughs)
Berg: This is the crap that I have to compete against? A maniac clown show, a washed up Cowboy with a wooden hand and stripper? This is the best UPW can do to challenge the King of the Streets? The Perfect Weapon? The Justice Machine of UPW? I gave up my country, my friends, my family and even by damn dignity to fight these three losers?
Good God! Whatever your plan is for these three, you best change it because I am sending all three to the hospital post our match!
(Fernandez claps)_
Fernandez: Bravo! Bravo!!
(Berg just sits and glares a him)
Fernandez: This is the real David Berg, the King of Streets. The fighter like no other. The Perfect Weapon. This is what Israel sent to the US. Not some shy foreigner saying “oh shucks”. Don’t ever forget that. Wrestling fans want realism. And you just brought it.
(With that Fernandez abruptly saunters away as Berg stands in the room by himself deep in thought)
