The scene opens inside the hospital room as Steve Awesome, Zelda Knite, and Zelda’s older brother Adam and his wife Kelly who is the daughter of the man they are mourning; Leonard Fox. They all stood around an empty hospital bed, each one doing their best not to break down.
“Oh daddy!”
Kelly Knite (who sort of looks like Avril Lavigne just to give you some perspective ) said with tears in her eyes.
“I never even got to say goodbye.”
Kelley cried into her hands as Adam comforted her. (Adam looks similar to Randy Orton)
“How could this have happened.”
The big man said, his voice was shaky. Leonard was his father in law of course.
“I don’t know man, he was pretty sick….”
Steve wiped a tear from his eye.
“I’m really going to miss him.”
Zelda said as she began to bawl into the chest of Steve. Adam held Kelly tight and the whole family began to cry together. Just then a Doctor walked into the room.
“Are you the family of Leonard Fox?”
They all solemnly nodded their head’s in response. The doctor hesitated to speak but she knew that even the difficult things to say were part of the job as well.
“We are really sorry about the loss.”
The doctor said, doing her absolute best to stay professional.
“But we looked everywhere for him and we literally have no idea where he went…..”
The doctor breathes through her teeth.
“Please don’t get mad….”
You ever get so angry that you just can’t speak. That’s what is happening to our four hero’s as we speak. Kelly twitches in anger, Adam has to reprocess the new information multiple times in his head, Zelda’s jaw just drops out of shock and Steve stands there blinking and glancing around the room.
Hold on he’ll get it.
Wait for it.
Waaaaait for it….
Steve’s eyes widen in shock and he looks at the doctor!
“AWH Dude, what the fuck!?”
THE HARDKORE REALITY OF STEVE AWESOME
Episode 4: Bad to the Bone
“YOU “LOST” MY FATHER!?”
The doctor winced as Kelly Knite screamed at her!
“I’m really sorry! But to be fair he can be very elusive! And very difficult to deal with if we’re being honest and I’d like to talk about that if we can….”
“IM ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR FACE IN ABOUT THREE SECONDS!”
Kelly lunged at the doctor but Adam held his wife back from catching a charge. The doctor hides behind the other side of the empty bed.
“But when you spoke to me on the phone, you were pretty clear. You used the words, gone, we lost him, and not with us anymore!
The doctor nodded her head.
“Yeah. Gone as in oops he’s not here. We lost him as in we don’t know where he is. And not with us anymore as in “do you see anyone in this bed?”
Adam glares at her.
“I could let her go, you know.”
Kelly is still cursing and kicking and trying to break free like a little Tasmanian Devil. The Doctor looks on in fear.
“Okay let’s think rationally here….”
Steve Awesome steps in to help save the day.
“So you lost an entire old guy. That much has been established.”
Steve rubs his chin as he deeply considers what to do next.
“Seems to me the next question is “Do you know where he is now?”
Everyone just stares blankly at Steve for a few moments until Zelda suddenly realizes a very crucial and special and wonderful thing.
“Wait, so that means he’s still alive!?”
The doctor nodded her head.
“Yeah! Of course he is. Ohh you know, now I see how the phone call could have been misleading.”
The good news that Leonard Fox was alive hit our heroes like a wave and even soothed the savage beast in Kelly. They all took the time to laugh and cry tears of joy for a moment before the doctor unloaded more information.
“Yes he’s still alive. But we still need to find him soon! He’s still out there somewhere, old and feeble, with his health slowly deteriorating…”
Steve snorted.
“Good! We can make him the President then.”
Zelda elbowed Steve in the ribs. Kelly nodded her head, she really knew what had to happen next.
“Well if my dad is out there somewhere then we have to find him.”
Adam nods his head in support.
“Sounds right to me.”
“I mean how far could an old person really go?”
Steve steps forward, shaking his head and waving his hands back and forth.
“No, no. This sounds like a wacky adventure setup to me if I ever heard one before. I promised myself I wouldn’t get caught up in any kind of crazy situations, all I wanted to do was train and get ready to sit on my throne at Night of Champions, I really can’t get involved in an Old Man Hunt. So I say we just let him roam free and let nature eventually take its course.”
Zelda elbowed him in the ribs again.
“No screw that. It’s not gonna be wacky, this is serious. We just need to find Leonard and bring him back and then you can go back to training for the XCrown. I mean, how hard could it be to find an old man wandering in the city?”
Steve crosses his arms and complains.
“Okay fine. I’ll help. But only if you stop trying to end things with a line that makes people think it’s going to end up becoming some kind of crazy adventure because we all clearly agree that it’s not going to be one. So stop it.”
Steve gives Zelda a stern finger. Zelda shrugs.
“Okay fine. But like, what’s the worst that can happen?”
Steve covers his ears.
“Stop it! Stop trying to tempt it. It’s not going to happen! I’m not even listening.
Zelda grins mischievously.
“Alright. Okay but it’s probably not even gonna be that bad.”
Steve shakes his head and screams.
“Nooooo I gotta get out of here before something gets wacky!!”
Steve runs out of the hospital room and Zelda giggles.
“Okay, let’s get serious and figure out where Leonard is.”
STEVE AWESOME
If you find the old man call 555-5555
We find Steve Awesome on another floor of the hospital pacing back and forth in anger.
“Stupid girlfriend…”
He said, Muttering to himself.
“Thinks she can just boss me around? Just drag me into some kind of crazy scenario even after I deliberately said no!? Well I’m not gonna do it! She isn’t in control of me!”
Steve notices the camera is on and immediately changes his tone.
“Oh hey folks, we’re looking for an old man. My old boss and former owner of New Championship Wrestling; Leonard Fox.
Suddenly an old, feeble man that looked an awful lot like Leonard Fox in a hospital gown shuffled down the perpendicular hallway in the background unbeknownst to Steve.
“I have no idea where he could be, but if any of you see him, please call the number on the bottom of your screen.”
“Okay now that’s out of the way, let me go ahead and tell ya what’s pissing me off today.”
Steve runs a palm through his hair and lets out an angry chuckle.
“They always say “don’t read the comments”. They tell you “don’t read the dirtsheets” but what do I do? I go for a morning scroll right through it all and I find out what the people are saying about me and this match. I read what the so called “life-long wrestling fans” are saying and how even after all this time they couldn’t possibly know what it is that pro wrestlers really do.”
Steve sighs and shakes his head. He couldn’t believe what he was about to say next.
“These people think that I don’t have what it takes to go the distance in this Throne of Gold match. They don’t think that I have the killer instinct to ensure that I walk out of Night of Champions holding up the XCrown Title.”
He flashes a sinister smirk.
“They say I don’t have a dark side.”
Steve laughs again.
“Wrong!”
“I get it. Im a man of class. Im a man of talent. I'm an extremely valuable combination of both that only happens once a generation, I’m such a well respected and dignified part of wrestlings hierarchy that maybe newer fans aren’t aware that Steve Awesome can get his hands dirty when he needs too. I guess I can get behind that possibility. If that’s the case and you just don’t know…”
He steps forward.
“Then let this be a lesson for ya!”
“Now, if I didn’t make it clear before about how much I need that XCrown title and how much it means to me to win it for a third time, then let me tell you that when you hold that XCrown Championship it means you are the best in the world. It means you are the top dog in pro wrestling. I want that championship. I need that championship. I Belong at the very pinnacle of this business and trust me when I say that I am very capable of going to a dark place to make sure I sit on that throne after all the blood has settled.
For example….Take Florida Man….”
Steve gave a quick shrug.
“I never had any beef with Florida Mang. In fact, I always thought he was kinda funny. A nice little clown act to make the crowd laugh before intermission. If I owned a wrestling company he’d be on my pre-show for sure!”
His smirk slowly turned into a disgusted sneer.
“But as an opponent….you are looking at a “mang” that represents the lowest form of human being. This is a man who comes out of a trash can like hes Oscar the Grouch! He hails from The literal dick of the United States. He glorifies drugs and comes from the gutter. He’s a piece of human garbage. A sleazy reptile.”
Steve glares into the camera.
“But I want the world to smarten up right now!”
“I am very proud of what I’ve accomplished in my career. I believe that I have kept myself in the upper echelon of wrestling for twenty damn years. I’m very proud of the hard work that I put in to maintain that level for so long and I’m exceptionally proud of the level of class and talent and sophistication that I consistently bring to the table.”
“But a wise man once said there is one thing about the human animal. If it has class, it has it. If it doesn’t, you cannot give it to them.”
“That means Florida Man can’t come up to my level. He can’t match my level of class and talent.”
“But I’m going to back you up Florida Man. I’m going to back you up into corner. Back you into the gutter where you come from. Make you regress into that animal that you think you are.
Because in order for me to walk out as champion I need to sink down to your level. I’m going to bite and scratch and claw and scrap and fight my way up that ladder to the crown, and to sit on that throne.”
“I will become an animal at Night of Champions if it means I’ll win the Crown for a third time.”
He glared confidently into the camera and then flashed his arrogant smirk.
“I mean come on, I’m the reigning and defending Hard(k)ore Champion of the world. I’m the Face of the Franchise. The new face of Hard(k)ore. And you're just some meth head with a gator mask bro.”
He points into the camera.
“And you and the current XCrown Champ Bloodied “Grrr I don’t smile in my pictures anymore” Fox and everyone else in that match and all those imbeciles in the comment section will find out exactly what I’m capable of when I walk into Night of Champions, entertain the masses and kick alllllllllllll the asses, and walk out as the NEW XCrown Champion.”
Crotch chop.
Fade.
Steve, Zelda, Adam and Kelly are searching the hospital for any signs of Leonard. what they don’t know is that Leonard is actually on the first floor near the emergency room ward.
A man who got mauled by a pack of cats is getting his scratches and bites looked at. Leonard just casually changed out of his hospital gown and into the man’s clothes.
Leonard just shuffled his way toward the sliding doors that led to the parking lot. The nurses at the front desk thought it seemed kind of odd.
Front Desk Nurse: Hmmm you don’t normally see old folks -leave- the emergency room.
Other Nurse: Umm sir?
He called out to try and help in some way.
“Pissoff!”
Leonard shouted and kept shuffling until he was out the door, passing two burly biker dudes, one with some kind of gunshot wound on his arm.
Suddenly the cat scratched man comes running out, fully nude.
Naked Cat Scratch Man: SOMEBODY STOLE MY CLOTHES!!”
He shouted into the room causing the waiting room to go into chaos. People yelled and shouted at the man and got offended that he was naked. A couple arguments ensued and security was called.
Meanwhile, in the chaos, Leonard happened to find a motorcycle with a key in it.
Leonard hopped on and rode away.
“Oh daddy!”
Kelly Knite (who sort of looks like Avril Lavigne just to give you some perspective ) said with tears in her eyes.
“I never even got to say goodbye.”
Kelley cried into her hands as Adam comforted her. (Adam looks similar to Randy Orton)
