 SHAKE IT OFF AND MOVE ON. JAMES CAN DO THAT BUT OTHERS SEEM TO HOLD ONTO THEIR LOSSES

The scene opens with the music video of Taylor Swift singing SHAKE IT OFF. As we watch the music video the lyrics come on the screen.

SHAKE IT OFF

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake

Yeah ohhh

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you've got to),
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

The music video ends and we switch to the Narrator as he provides his lead-in for the segment from James Tuscini and Pinky del Ferrando.

Narrator:  Some wrestlers get upset when they lose, or if they fail to obtain a victory in a multi-wrestler match, and some wrestlers simply shake it off, move on, and continue to do their best in every match. James Tuscini is in the latter category. Although he didn’t win the Ultimate X Four Way Roulette Championship match at Into The Void VI, as Kris Halc won the match, James continues to shake it off, move on, and he’ll continue to give his best performance in every match. His objective is to earn his way back into contention for Title Belts and we’re sure that will happen quickly..

We shift scenes to a sports bar. A cameraman was sent to air the segment by James Tuscini and Pinky del Ferrando. As the camera pans around we notice this is the Four Sevens Sports Bar in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cameraman continues to pan around when he sees Sin City Wrestling’s James Tuscini and Pinky del Ferrando. They’re sitting at the bar and they’re surrounded by wrestling fans. James and Pinky, being true fan favorites, appreciate the fans and the fans feel their appreciation. The cameraman informs James and Pinky he is ready to air their segment and Pinky instructs him where to set up his equipment. Once he is set up he gives a sign to the two that they are live broadcasting.

James:  Thanks for joining us today. We decided to come to the Four Sevens Sports Bar so we could interact with our fans. We’re not like most wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling who feel they will get contaminated if they get too close to the fans. What every wrestler needs to understand is they are nothing without the fans. Whether the fans adore you as they adore me, or whether they hate you and want you dead, without their attention you wouldn’t show up on the RADAR. The reason I had our segment open with Taylor Swift’s SHAKE IT OFF is that I shake off any losses and continue to perform the best I can. I’m not like other wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling who feel it is the end of the world when they lose a match. I mean, come on, as often as they lose they should be used to it by now. With me the key words in the song are 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play...And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate...I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake...I shake it off, I shake it off...Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break...And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake...Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake...I shake it off, I shake it off.  For sure I have the haters hating me because I’m better than them as a person and as a wrestler. They can hate hate hate me all they want but it doesn’t negate the fact that I am, and always will be, a better wrestler than they are. Then you have the fakers who fake fake fake but doing that doesn’t win wrestling matches against me so when they lose they transition from fakers to haters. To hell with them! I know who I am, what I’m capable of, and I’ve proven myself over and over. Deal with it because I’m not going to degrade myself and drop down to your pathetic level of wrestling.

Pinky: Recently we had an incident where one of the less stellar performers in Sin City Wresting had an issue with me and James talking about how well James has done in Sin City Wrestling with special emphasis of how James has done in the Roulette Division. This person kept claiming that James shouldn’t be involved in the Roulette Championship Match at Into The Void VI even though James has proven by being a two-time Roulette Champion and the 3rd longest-reigning Roulette Champion in Sin City Wrestling’s history. Although James was not the winner of the Four Way Roulette Championship Match at Into The Void VI he performed at his best as he always does. James never has to beg, plead, grovel, or demand a shot at any Title Belt in Sin City Wrestling. When Management feels James is ready for a shot at another Title Belt they will assign him to that match. But today, due to whining bitches who repeat themselves often, but find fault in others who do the same thing, we will focus on the present as all of you already know the history and success of James Tuscini in Sin City Wrestling.

James:  Whether I earn a shot at the Internet Title Belt, or the World Championship, or whether Management wishes to send Unholy Alliance to challenge for the Tag Team Championship again, I’m up for the challenge. I don’t want Championship matches handed to me because I demanded it or whined about it. We have enough wrestlers like that in Sin City Wrestling and I’m not like them. I know since I didn’t win the Roulette Championship match at Into The Void VI that I’m currently out of the Roulette Title hunt. I realize Ryan Keys will get his re-match. I realize Travis Nathaniel Andrews has been knocking on the door to get a shot at the Roulette Title Belt and I would like to see him get that match. Ramone shouldn’t be considered for a shot at the Roulette Title again unless he can earn his way back into contention as I am willing to do and I am doing. There are a lot of people on the Roster who deserve to be tossed into the Roulette Division and I’m excited to see how they do.

Pinky:  Here’s what we’re gonna do today. We’ll allow the fans, here with us in the Sports Bar, to ask us anything they want and we will answer their questions. Nothing is pre-arranged. There are no canned questions. Everything is on the fly and it will be interesting to see what questions we get and for sure you will get straight-up honest answers from us.

Pinky quiets the crowd and then he states he will be the one to select the person to ask the next question. He points to a Blonde woman and asks her to state her question.

Blonde Woman:  This question is for both of you. Recently you gave several statements on how you affect opponents and one of the statements you used was to be a “thorn in the side” of your opponents. I’ve always loved the song by Guns N Roses titled “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” so I thought I would ask my question concerning the thorn in the side comment.

Pinky:  Actually there are three terms used for sharp items on plants and trees. They are Thorns, Spines, and Prickles. Since I didn’t bring examples of each, as I had no idea we would be asked a question about being a thorn in the side of opponents, I ask you to do your own research on the Internet. Do a search of what the difference is between a thorn, spine, and prickle. What you will find out is that roses do not have thorns as everyone thinks. Even though people state roses have thorns they in fact have prickles or pricks to shorten the term. To be scientifically and botanically correct the proper term for the sharp items on the stem of a rose is a prickle. Therefore the lyrics in the Guns N Roses song are in error.

James:  We never said we were a “thorn from a rose stem in the side of our opponents” what we said was we are a “thorn in the side of our opponents.” The person who came up with this phrase knew what a thorn is and knew it didn’t come from a rose. They also realized if they used the term for the sharp objects on the stem of a rose the statement would have ended up as a “prickle in your side” or a “prick in your side” and of course they knew that would sound stupid or sexually suggestive so they stuck with the term “thorn.”  

Pinky:  As it stands James and I are a thorn in the side of our opponents as a thorn is something that sticks you, cuts you, and hurts you, and for sure that’s what we do. Okay let me see who I can call on next. How about the young man with the James Tuscini shirt on. Your question please.

Man In James Tuscini Shirt:  James are you being honest with us when you state that you are not upset you didn’t regain the Roulette Title Belt at Into The Void VI? Also can you truly support Kris Halc as Roulette Champion when you two don’t seem to get along outside of the wrestling ring?

James:  Thanks for the great question! I’m not upset that I didn’t win the Roulette Title Belt at Into The Void VI. I gave it my best shot and came up short. It happens to everyone. I am, however, disappointed I didn’t win the Roulette Championship for my third time but there will come another day where I challenge for that Title Belt again. On your question about my willingness to support Kris Halc as Roulette Champion the answer is YES I will support him. Remember the horrible fights Steve Ramone had with me? I supported him as Roulette Champion even though I can’t stand him personally. I also supported Ryan Keys, as I feel Keys is one hell of a talented wrestler, and he proved that by not only successfully defending the Roulette Championship but he also became a two-time Roulette Champion as I did. I even supported Johnny Tsunami who was the wrestler who ended my first title reign as Roulette Champion. I was on track to eclipse Equinox and Goth as longest-reigning Roulette Champion and Tsunami smashed my attempt. I’m not upset at Tsunami. Actually I’m proud of him for taking advantage of my distraction and my arrogance going into that match. Flatly stated I became over-confident and it was my fault I lose that match to Tsunami. Now we have Kris Halc as Roulette Champion. Kris just defeated three very talented wrestlers and he earned the right to wear the Roulette Title Belt. I will support Kris in his defenses of the Title Belt and when the day comes when he drops the Roulette Championship and goes for a re-match I will still support him in his attempt to become a two-time Roulette Champion. I’m not a hater, like in Taylor Swift’s song, that I’m going to hate others for being successful.

Pinky:  How about the young man with the beard wearing the Rage hat. May we have your question please?

Young Man Wearing RAGE Hat:  I see you have a match against my favorite wrestler, Rage, at Climax Control 180. I feel you don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of defeating Rage so what do you have to say about that?

James:  I appreciate your honesty in that question.  I cannot lie to you. This will be one of my toughest matches in the 16 months I’ve been in Sin City Wrestling. If you look at what happened to Rage recently you will understand that I’m expecting an extremely pissed off opponent. First of all Rage knows I look down on him for cashing in on the King of the Hill thing to attack Drake Green after he defeated J2H in a grueling match. I’ve never liked any type of cash-in thing, like the Money In The Bank thing in some other Wrestling Federation, where a fully refreshed wrestler can attack a wrestler holding a Title Belt who is exhausted after a hard-fought match. It simply makes the attacker look weak by not having the willingness to challenge the Champion while the Champion is rested and at 100 percent. Then when you have Rage “winning” the World Championship on March 19, 2017, then losing it a month later to Jeremiah Harden on April 16, 2017, you can see that maybe, just maybe, had Rage made the effort to take on Drake Green when Drake was fully rested maybe he wouldn’t have obtained the World Title Belt when he did. But I will give Rage credit that on April 30, 2017, just two weeks after he was defeated by Jeremiah Hardin he defeated Hardin and regained the World Championship. But then two weeks later on May 14, 2017, at Into The Void VI, we saw Rage defeated by J2H as J2H was successful in regaining the World Title Belt. If I were to win, then lose, then win, then lose, any title belt over a 60 day period I would enter this match at Climax Control 180 extremely pissed off and ready to destroy my opponent also. I’m sorry that my answer was long but I wanted you to know everything that I’m thinking about going into this match with Rage. Will this be an easy match for me? No. I already said it will be one of my toughest matches in my 16 months in Sin City Wrestling. Who will win? If I knew who would win every match I would make millions of dollars betting on the matches. I have no clue if Rage or I will win but I can promise you I will give my best effort as I always do.

Pinky:  I’m getting hungry so I’ll allow one more question. How about the Brunette woman to my right. Yes there’s several Brunette’s to my right so I’m selecting the one who is closer to my age. Yes, you in the blue blouse, your question please.

Brunette Woman in Blue Blouse:  For James I want to know if you could chose any Title Belt to challenge for in the near future which one would it be and your reason why you selected that one. And for Pinky if you’re available this evening I would like to have dinner with you and have some fun with you this evening.

Surprisingly we see Pinky blush as he’s not sure if what he thinks she means is what she really means. He figures what the hell might as well ask her.

Pinky:  Are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?

Brunette Woman in Blue Blouse:  There’s only one way to find out! I’ll give you my address later and if you pick me up and take me to dinner I promise you that you won’t be sorry!

James:  Again I’ll have to give a long and detailed answer. I already discussed how I feel about facing Rage after he went through a volatile 60 days concerning the World Championship. So here’s my long answer to your question so bear with me so you realize my intentions. Due to the fact that J2H is again the World Champion I would love to have a shot at him and the World Championship. Since my arrival in Sin City Wrestling in February 2016 I’ve had respect for J2H as World Champion. Of the others who have held that Title Belt during my time here, I cannot respect them as much as I do J2H for various reasons of which I will not go into at this time. The other reason, other than my ultimate respect for J2H as World Champion, that I would love this next challenge because if I obtain a legitimate win over J2H, who is without a doubt the face of Sin City Wrestling, then I become the face of Sin City Wrestling and that prospect makes me excited. However if Management wishes to send me up to challenge for the Internet Championship again, or the Roulette Championship again, or the Tag Team Championship again, I will accept their assignment and do the best I can.

Brunette Woman in Blue Blouse:  Thank you James. That was a fantastic answer to my question.

The Brunette woman in the blue blouse looks at Pinky del Ferrando, she points at him, and gives him a wink.

Brunette Woman in Blue Blouse:  Come see me later, Pinky, so I can give you my address and phone number. This is gonna be an evening you will remember all the way to your grave!

Pinky again blushes, which is rare for him, but he recovers and he and James move to a table where they can place their food order. After spending a significant amount of time eating and mingling with the crowd at the sports bar James and Pinky are ready to leave. Pinky obtains the name and address and phone number of the woman in the blue blouse. He is to meet here at 9 p.m. for a dinner date. They have to have the dinner date at that late time in the evening due to Pinky’s requirement to complete an Italian Mafia assignment that ends at 8 p.m. James and Pinky exit the sports bar. James hails a taxi to return to their dressing room at the Gold Coast Casino. Pinky hails a taxi to go to the location where he is to meet a member of the Italian Mafia to receive his assignment.

* ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER *

Pinky steps out of the taxi and he is immediately approached by a middle-aged man who introduces himself as John from the Italian Mafia. The two slip to the side of the sidewalk where they can talk without being overheard.

John:  Pinky welcome to Las Vegas. We in the Las Vegas Italian Mafia have been asked by the Atlanta Italian Mafia to give you an assignment. It will be a three-hour assignment from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Once you complete this three-hour assignment you are considered to have completed your deal for this trip to Las Vegas and they will mark off this assignment for you.

Pinky: *sigh*  What is the assignment? It was bad enough having to spend one hour looking at the disgusting face of Hillary Clinton in New York City so I hope this assignment is easier to deal with.

John:  What we need to you to is to TAKE OUT several times during your three hour assignment. It won’t be that difficult and...

Pinky:  And what? I’ve already made it clear that I’m not willing to TAKE OUT someone and kill them. How many times do I have to...

John:  Slow down Pinky!  Just as with your assignment in New York City where you have to TAKE OUT Hillary Clinton for a dinner date we have a TAKE OUT assignment for you here in Las Vegas. It has nothing to do with taking out someone meaning to severely injure them or kill them. Here is the address where you need to go. You’re under surveillance so make sure you do a good job on this TAKE OUT assignment.

Pinky looks at the sheet of paper and he sees the address is 220 West Charleston. He hails a cab and he is taken to the location. When he exits the taxi he realizes he is standing in front of a Jimmy John’s Sandwiches store.



Pinky:  What the f*ck is this shit? A Jimmy John’s Sandwich store? Seriously? Ugh! I guess any assignment for the Italian Mafia that doesn’t involve killing someone, or having to look at Hillary Clinton for an hour, is a good assignment.

Pinky walks into the Jimmy John’s and talks to the Manager who acknowledges that he is to have Pinky work with TAKE OUT for his three-hour shift from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. He informs Pinky that when they are no take outs to deliver he is to be at the front counter to service walk-in customers. Pinky puts on the uniform of a Jimmy John’s worker and he takes his place at the counter. The cameraman gets a shot of Pinky serving a customer.



Pinky:  This is humiliating! Working at a sandwich shop? At least I’m doing what I’m being asked to do by the Italian Mafia. But, damn, it seems like being in the Italian Mafia means you are more of a minimum-wage fast-food worker than someone who actually carries out Italian Mafia work.

* THREE HOURS LATER AT 8 P.M. PINKY’S SHIFT AT JIMMY JOHN’S IS DONE *

The Jimmy John’s Manager thanks Pinky for his willingness to do this assignment for him. He is probably overly happy to have Pinky there as he doesn’t have to pay him an hourly wage since he’s on assignment from the Italian Mafia. Nothing like getting free manual labor eh? He assures Pinky that he will let the Italian Mafia know he did a good job. Pinky leaves the Jimmy John’s and gets into a taxi to take him to the Brunette woman he met at the sports bar earlier in the day. Pinky arrives at 8:30 p.m. so they can get to the restaurant for dinner before 9 p.m. and then wherever the dinner date leads from there.

* IT IS ALREADY THE NEXT DAY AT 10 A.M. AND PINKY IS JUST NOW RETURNING TO THE DRESSING ROOM AT THE GOLD COAST CASINO *

Pinky walks into the dressing room and James looks up from watching television. He is surprised that his Uncle was out all night doing the assignment for the Italian Mafia and having a dinner date, and whatever else, with the Brunette woman they met earlier in the day.

James:  Damn! Uncle you look worn out. What happened during your Italian Mafia assignment?

Pinky:  The Italian Mafia had me do another TAKE OUT. But before you assume it was taking someone out of action let me tell you it wasn’t that at all. They had me work at Jimmy John’s Sandwiches as the Take Out Delivery Driver. If there were no current Take Out orders to deliver I had to work the counter serving walk-in customers.

James:  That doesn’t sound bad at all. Sure not as disgusting as when you were forced to have a dinner date with Hillary Clinton in New York. What could have possibly gone wrong that pissed you off?

Pinky:  Jimmy John’s is famous for very quick delivery of your food order. It’s hard when you are the delivery driver but you are also required to work the front counter to serve walk-in customers. I would have a customer come in and as I’m serving that customer the Manager yells at me to deliver a take-out order and he wanted me to do it right then so the order wouldn’t be delivered late. Well, shit, I couldn’t leave the counter until a replacement worker took over for me. Several times during my three-hour shift I was relieved at the front counter late and then when I delivered the food to the customer who ordered the food they yelled at me because their take out order was late. I was hoping to make some money on tips as the Manager said all tips I receive I can keep. But since they kept releasing me late to make the deliveries none of the customers would give me a tip. I worked for three hours for Jimmy John’s without an hourly pay and without any tips and that sucks!

James:  Yeah that does suck. By the way are you willing to give me and the viewers the play-by-play details on your dinner date with the Brunette we met at the Sports Bar yesterday? Also you must have had a hell of a fun sexual adventure since you didn’t come back here until 10 a.m. the next morning. Come on Uncle tell us what happened.

Pinky:  Sorry James but I cannot betray a woman’s trust. We had a great time and that’s all I can say at this time.

James:  Can you give me some sort of general description on how the evening went without giving me specific details?

Pinky:  Hmmm...about the best description I can give is it was a combination of Heaven and Hell rolled into one.

James:  Don’t think I’ve ever heard of any event described like that. Any chance you can elaborate without giving away specifics?

Pinky:  It was one of the most intense, and most enjoyable, experiences of my life. Everyone would say it was a heavenly experience and it was very nice and could be compared to the tranquility and enjoyment someone might feel if they were in Heaven. However the way I look at it is that being a sinner and ending up in Hell gives you more experiences than you get sitting around in Heaven with everyone watching everyone else sitting there doing nothing. As Billy Joel said in his song titled “Only The Good Die Young” They say there's a heaven for those who will wait...Some say it's better but I say it ain't...I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...The sinners are much more fun.  That’s my final comments on the dinner date, and the other stuff, with the Brunette woman. She will be at Climax Control 180 cheering us on against Rage so you will see her again.

James:  Well stated Uncle. Let’s take a walk down to the studio so we can present our official segment comments to our fans. It’s down the hall a bit and it will take a few minutes to walk there.

James and Pinky exit the dressing room and head down the hallway. As James said it was a short walk. The two enter the room and they are told to take a seat at a large wooden desk and when they sit down they look like two evening news anchors rather than a wrestler and manager in Sin City Wrestling. There’s nobody there to ask them questions. The only people in the room are the roving cameraman, the studio cameraman, the studio director, and a few studio technicians. When they give the signal to James and Pink that they are live broadcasting the two launch into their comments.

* AT THE STUDIO TO AIR COMMENTS ON UPCOMING MATCH *

James: Before coming down to the studio to air comments on my upcoming match with Rage I had a discussion with Uncle Pinky. I asked him if he felt I should change up my style of commenting, which is being direct, honest, and to-the-point, or if I should try to do a Rage-like promo. And what did you tell me Uncle?

Pinky:  I told you that’s a stupid idea. I told you to air comments in a Rage-like fashion would only cause the censors to *bleep* out every other word you say. I told you that airing comments that go like, word *bleep* word *bleep* word *bleep* word *bleep* word *bleep* word *bleep as they do when Rage is on camera hurling comments into the camera would take away from the direct, honest, and to-the-point style of comments you always do.

James:  So I will not ruin my comments by being stupid in how I deliver those comments. I will stick to the way I always do things as that’s the best way to do it. With that said I will launch into my comments for my upcoming match.  Rage I’m not gonna sit here and tell you I hate you and don’t respect you. Actually I’ll do something that will surprise you. There are several wrestlers in Sin City wrestling most people hate with a passion and they are J2H, Steve Ramone, and you. You want to know something Rage? I am a J2H fan. I am a Steve Ramone fan. And, yes, I am a Rage fan. I want to tell you that I have been pulling for you to obtain more Title Belts since my arrival in Sin City Wrestling in February 2016. To be honest I wanted you to defeat J2H and earn the World Championship. However when you used the King of the Hill cash-in thing to beat down an already exhausted Drake Green I cringed. Rage you are above that. You are a fantastic wrestler that very few people in Sin City Wrestling can claim they have defeated you. Although the King of the Hill cash-in thing was 100 percent legal, and you could have challenged for the Roulette or Internet Title Belts you decided to obtain the World Title Belt. I cannot condemn you for what you did as you did it 100 percent within the rules and the contract assigned to the King of the Hill thing. But I have to tell you that even as much as I respect you as a wrestler, and I admire your ability to be in-your-face to opponents and other wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling, I simply feel you would have more of my respect if you had waited until the next event to cash in the King of the Hill and challenge Drake Green for the World Championship.

Pinky:  Listen up Rage. I consider myself to be a jerk and an asshole. I don’t take shit from anyone. I will beat someone down in a flash if they try to attack me or James. But I also have to let you know that I wish I could be more like you. Sometimes the jerk attitude inside of me flares up and I’m so pissed off I want to kick small animals and throw old ladies into oncoming traffic. Although I believe you wouldn’t hesitate to kick small animals and throw old ladies into oncoming traffic I have some reservations when it comes to stuff like that. But be advised I/m working on becoming a more obnoxious asshole.

James:  Rage I know you’re extremely pissed off that over a 60 day period you gained, and lost, the World Championship Title Belt twice. That’s gotta hurt more than having a baseball bat swung into your groin crushing your nut sack. I would also imagine that drinking a gallon a Jalapeno juice would be less painful than losing a Title Belt twice in two months. I know you are bringing that anger, bringing that rage if you want to use that term, into our match. I know you want to come into this match a destroy me because you know when I get a win over you that Management will send you so far down the list you will be relegated to opening and low-card matches for months until you can redeem yourself and earn your way back into mid-card and Championship contention. But I want to be the person who lets you know I understand your situation and how you feel. With you coming into our match with four inches of height and 60 pounds of weight over me, and a pissed off attitude the size of the State of Texas, I know this will be an epic battle. Is it impossible for me to defeat you? No. Is it impossible for you to defeat me? No. Do we both have an equal chance of defeating the other? Yep.

Pinky:  Here’s how I see things. You dissed and disrespected your former Stable mates to make an alignment with J2H. After you were with him for a time you started getting froggy and decided to jump and start demanding a shot at his World Title Belt. What you have done in the past months is to alienate nearly everyone in Sin City Wrestling. Without a doubt me and James don’t have a lot of what we would call “friends” in Sin City Wrestling but we also try not to alienate and piss off everyone in the Federation. That’s one of the reasons you lost to Jeremiah Hardin remember? You let your anger and frustration take control of you. When J2H showed up in the arena even though he didn’t get directly involved in the match, just his mere presence in the arena where you could see him, caused you enough distraction to lose to Hardin. You continue to blame J2H for that loss when, in fact, you should be blaming yourself for allowing the distraction to happen. It would have been different if J2H had come down to the ring, laid hands on you, or grabbed you to pull you out of the ring during your match. But he did none of those things. He just came out from the backstage area and showed his face and that was enough of a distraction that it cost you the match. Will there be any distractions like that during our match? I have no clue. I can tell you I don’t interfere in the matches James is in. If someone else does it we don’t condone their actions. We want a fair and clean match with you so the wrestler who wins can lay claim to a clean and legal victory. However, Rage, should you have a friend interfere in the match, if you even have any friends left who might do that for you, we will gladly take a DQ victory because you getting Disqualified makes us look great because it means you were so worried about facing James that you had to beg someone for interference. We don’t need interference to win wrestling matches.

James:  Rage, I want a fair and clean match. I don’t want you Disqualified due to interference. I don’t want you Disqualified for using weapons on me in a non-Hardcore match. I don’t want anything to happen that would mar my victory over you. I want us to be completely within the rules of this match. I want us to go after each other and show the fans what a truly aggressive and challenging wrestling match is about. I promise that if you legally defeat me, without interference or weapons, I will publicly commend you and congratulate you on your legal victory over me. Taking a legal loss to you, one on one, fully within the rules of our match, is not something detrimental to me. I’m not like other wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling who think it is the end of the world when they take a loss. Everyone wins and everyone loses and when any of us take a loss we have to do like Taylor Swift said in her song and SHAKE IT OFF and move on. My only question to you, Rage, is when I defeat  you, 100 percent legally within the rules of our match, without interference, without weapons, without cheating, will you give me the same consideration and commend me on my legal victory over you? I doubt it but that’s okay. When I defeat you I’ll know I did it legally, the fans will know I did it legally, and it will be forever written in the record books that I did it legally. With that said I hope you have a great time leading up to our match, and your defeat, at Climax Control 180.

Pinky:  Rage please understand we know what your accomplishments are even though some of them were short-lived accomplishments. I am going to have the camera get a shot of the list of accomplishments, or significant events if you wish to call them that, during your career in Sin City Wrestling. I have listed them in date order so nobody feels I am picking which items to present first. Please note that although you’ve held a few Title Belts during your time in Sin City Wrestling most of those title reigns were very short in length. Then, for your benefit, I added one last entry on the list taking into account the significant event that will happen to you on Sunday, May 28, 2017.

The cameraman gets into position to get a shot of the list of significant events in the Sin City Wrestling career of Rage which Pinky del Ferrando has propped up on the desk. They keep the shot of the list of significant events of Rage list long enough for even the slowest readers to be able to take in all the information. While the list is up on the screen Pinky reads off the items in date order.

Pinky:

July 1, 2012 – Rage won World Heavyweight Championship
August 26, 2012 – Rage lost World Heavyweight Championship
April 10, 2016 – Rage won Internet Championship
May 22, 2016 – Rage lost Internet Championship
March 19, 2017 – Rage won World Heavyweight Championship
April 16, 2017 – Rage lost World Heavyweight Championship
April 30, 2017 – Rage won World Heavyweight Championship
May 14, 2017 – Rage lost World Heavyweight Championship
May 28, 2017 – Rage lost to James Tuscini

The list remains on the screen so others who are slow readers can continue reading while James and Pinky comment on these items concerning Rage.

Pinky:  What’s up with you winning a title belt and losing it quickly, in some cases within two weeks, when others like James was able to hold onto the Roulette Title Belt for months? There are only two logical answers to that Rage. Either you were just damn lucky you pulled off a win to obtain a Title Belt because you sure weren’t able to regain them, or you just don’t give a shit about holding Title Belts so you take a dive and hand the Title Belts over to someone else. Seems to me if you are going to be the loudest, most obnoxious, braggart of a wrestler in Sin City Wrestling that you would have a way better track record actually holding onto Title Belts for more than a week or two at a time.

James:  This Sunday evening I come into our match with every intention of winning. I never walk into a match with the slightest thought that I might lose. Any wrestler who enters a match thinking they will lose has already lost the match before they leave their dressing room to make their entrance for the match. Every wrestler should enter every match with the intention of winning. Whether they win or lose that match is not the issue as it is the mindset you come into the match with that the fans see. I always give 100 percent in every match whether I am facing a top superstar like J2H or Despayre, or whether I’m facing a jobber who couldn’t win a wrestling match if their opponent flopped on their back and let them pin them. I have only one mode when I enter a wrestling match that that is 100 percent. If I were to give anything less than 100 percent every match then I shouldn’t be in the sport of wrestling. I hope you have fun leading up to our match because when I defeat you the fun stops for you.

James and Pinky are done with their comments and the studio shuts down their camera but the roving cameraman who follows James and Pinky is standing by to pick up on them as they return to their dressing room. The two get up from the large wooden desk, thank the Studio crew, and they exit the Studio into the hallway. The roving cameraman keeps his camera focused on James and Pinky until they arrive at their dressing room, go inside, and close the door on the cameraman. The cameraman cuts his feed as the Network goes into a commercial break.
