Good Vinnie, Bad Vinnie…., who is the real Vinnie??? Part two

Voice: Good morning, this is your captain speaking. We are asking for you to please follow our following procedure demonstrated by our stewardess Vicky.

Bill: Err Vin??? This is a cruise ship, not an air plane.

There’s a moment of silence as the camera opens up with Senor Vinnie, Bill Barnhart, Bea along with Iris sitting in a restaurant on the cruise ship. Vinnie is sporting a captains hat and wears a white suit that could be identified as one of a captain.

Good Vinnie: That uhm , is a good observation Senor Bill. I just thought with me going incognito would help me get to mingle with the others without being identified.

Bill puts down his fork and stares at Vinnie.

Bill: Vin, we recognized you right away.

Vinnie is annoyed about the answer he received from his tag team partner.

Good Vinnie: Well, you know that it was Iris that recognized me by my smell. But I know I convinced you didn’t I Bea??

Bea; Well..,

Good Vinnie: See Bill?? She believed my captain Stubing impersonation of the Love Boat.

Bea: I wouldn’t say that Vinnie, I….

Good Vinnie: Captain Kirk???

Bea: No….,

Good Vinnie: Captain Picard???

Bill: Look Vinnie, you are an amazing guy. But now that we are on this cruise ship, we need to focus on our jobs for Summer XXXTreme. You have an opportunity to obtain another title. I…

Vinnie puts his hand in front of Bill’s face, stopping his talk as he shakes his head.

Good Vinnie: You know Bill, that was not what you were supposed to say.

Bill looks at him stunned, clearly not knowing what to say.

Bill: It isn’t???

Good Vinnie: No, because it is not elementary of course. You see I am fully aware what is ahead of me, but I cannot allow business to distract me from what is really important.

Bill looks at him with a puzzled look on his face.

Good Vinnie: To prove the company that I am fully capable of being a normal person and I will not need another session with that Psychiatrist.

Bill raises his eyebrow over that comment

Bill: Excuse me???

Good Vinnie: You are excused Bill.

Bill gets annoyed over this.

Bill: What do you mean you do not need to visit that psychiatrist?? Have several appointments set for this week on the cruise ship. So what do you mean you don’t have to???

Good Vinnie: Well that’s easy Bill, I told the psychiatrist that I have a doctors note telling that I am mentally cleared and complete sane.

Bill: Uhm Vin?? You need to have that psychiatrist to sign that note for him to dissalow you to visit him. He will never

Vinnie cuts Bill off mid sentence as he shows him a note to him.

Good Vinnie: Oh contraire my good amigo Bill, I have this note signed by my personal psychiatrist that I accidently forgot I had.

Bill raises his eyebrow even further.

Bill: Personal psychiatrist?

Good Vinnie: Si my amigo, my good friend Pete is also a part time psychiatrist. He is a very accomplished mental doctor.

Bill: PETE???

Vinnie looks at him with a look of misunderstanding.

Good Vinnie: Si…, what’s the problem Bill???

Bill: Since when does that potted plant have a degree in being a psychiatrist???

Good Vinnie: Since last week, he took an online test and he passed it with the slimmest of margins. He is a very accomplished plant to be sure.

Bill: YOU WHAT?? People succeed in obtaining a diploma after studying for many years!! And that plant does it in a week???

Good Vinnie: Well to be honest?? He did it in three hours, he found a site that gives you a crash course and with your exam they give you multiple choice options. He is a real good guesser and he finalized the deal with the psychiatrist of SCW.

Bill: Great Vinnie, just great. Thanks for letting me know that I do not have to go either. I….

Good Vinnie: Uhm Bill? He is my psychiatrist, not yours. He is just your cactus in law.

Vinnie gets up just at the moment that Bill is about to explode out of his socks after hearing the bad news as the shot fades.

I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste

Daddy Issues

We are in Vinnie’s cabin on the cruise ship where this years Summer XXXTreme is being hosted, the cabin is nothing ordinary. That is of course if you do not consider that it is still much larger than any of the cabin’s the normal fans would usually obtain during the week of Wrestling Extravaganza that this event is known for. But we all know what has changed, no fans to witness history once more and that is something that even the wrestlers feel upon this experience. Even Vinnie…..,

Good Vinnie: Arr matey!!! You are going to walk the plank and become food for the fishes!!!!

We hear a splashing in the water, coming from the bathroom as the camera turns away and enters the room. We see Vinnie sitting there with an eye patch on his head, a fake earring in his left ear and a rather silly looking and too smallish like pirate hat. He is holding a lego figure in his hand as it is “travelling” across the back of a toothbrush, that needs to symbolize the walking plank before being thrown into the water with some plastic gold fishes.

Good Vinnie: That’s what you get for mutiny folks!!! But Captain Vinnie has once again restored order as we are sailing to obtain the biggest price known to mankind!!!!

He turns his gaze towards the camera with a smile upon his face, but we can see the smile slowly change into a sickening look of disgust.

Bad Vinnie: The Sin City Wrestling Internet Championship belt from my “daddy”

His breathing is becoming heavy, lifting his hand and taking off the silly hat that he has been wearing and tosses it into the water as it drifts away.

Bad Vinnie: What’s the matter daddy?? Not happy to get to see your creation for the first time?? Did I not show you the courtesy that you deserved?? I mean, sure… we may not be the perfect family like Full House was… you know the one with the one dad and many uncles??? But I never thought you would disown me like that dad.

You got issues you know that???

He shrugs his head and walks away from the bathroom and enters the other part of the cabin. He has an balcony that he can overlook the entire boat, but decides not to as he pummels onto his bed and drops down on top of it.

Bad Vinnie: Now tell me if I am wrong on this, but you sure loathe Vinnie don’t you?? Now I know, I may have just stepped into his body and attempt to do a corporate takeover, you know what happens with companies that starting to lose touch with their opposition?? Well in this case I am taking over where Vinnie is losing touch with reality.

He chuckles as he makes funny faces to emphasize what he was saying, causing his face to clear up and smile genuinely happy

Good Vinnie: Wait, how did I lose my hat??? And how did I got onto this bed? I need to call Bill and tell him that something is going on around here. Maybe I am stuck in the Twilight Zone….

He reaches over for his cell phone, but his other hand stops the one that is reaching over for it.

Bad Vinnie: I wasn’t done talking yet Vinnie….,

Good Vinnie: Why am I holding my hand??? And why am I talking to my….

The hand that was reaching for the phone gets pulled back by the other hand and forced upon his face in a claw like hold.

Good Vinnie: HMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(translation) What the fuck is going on??!!!

He finally manages to get the hand off of his face and the sickening smile re emerges once more.

Bad Vinnie: Ahhh, what a lack of oxygen may not do to your brain usage Vinnie. But what I was about to continue my… well rant as you enjoyed making fun of me dad, was the fact that you blame Vinnie for everything that has happened to you since Summer XXXTreme. That you took him not seriously, that you arrogant, that you suffered the biggest boo boo in the ring and delivered a huge dump after eating a Pepperoni Pizza the night before. I….

Wait, that was Bill Barnhart. Apologies for that dad, I sometimes still have issues dealing with lapse memories from that buffoon that you have no right to hate. You see dad, even though this man is weird in the biggest sense of the word… he still beat you dad, something that to this very day you clearly cannot grasp the reality of it all. It’s like watching a small mouse outsmarting a bigger and stronger and….. well quite dumb cat in cartoons. You know, the one that is called Tom and Jerry??? You should check them out sometimes, it will help your sour personality. Because when I look at you?? You stink okay!!!

Blabbering on about what should have never happened, I mean seriousloy??? Be thankful that the lunatic beat you for crying out loud!!! Sure the physical and mental anguish may have caused you a few months of your life, the suffering feeling that your family had to endure seems to be a pattern that constantly happens to you when something is not going your way huh DAD???

He is silent for a few moments, inhaling some oxygen before letting it all out through his nose and calms down.

Bad Vinnie: Apologies dad, I know you are in a lot of stress lately. I should not focus too much on my step families issues with you…. But I will get into ours one way or the other okay?? You see, I see the answer to your fucking problem amigo!! Oh boy, I sure love how that Spanish runs across my tongue every time I say Amigo…, but back to you. You are telling yourself that you are this great warrior, that you are this great role model that everyone should be looking up to. That you are in the same lineage like Fenris, like Ben Jordan and I am sure that there is a whole line of great past champions that I have forgotten. But seriously man?? Snap out of it!!! Go to Past Champions Anonymous talk sessions or something!!! It has happened!! Move on!! Grow a beard!!! Drink some beer… I…

Good Vinnie: Wait, did I say grow a beard??? And what is going on?? The last thing I remembered was my feeling my hand touching my face real nice. It gave me such a relaxing sensation that……

Vinnie notices the camera and has a slight grin upon his face

Good Vinnie: Now of course you have to understand that I am well aware of my advantage over Austin. You see the man is tough, he has a great reign as champion. But I am the Cryptonite to his err… what was it again??? His blue pj’s?

Vinnie is trying to remember to what he meant as his right hand slaps him across the face.

Good Vinnie: HEY!!! Who did that?

The hand slaps him again, harder this time

Good Vinnie: Stop that!!! I am warning you!!!

Both hands now continue to slap him against his face from either side until he stops and a sigh of relief is heard.

Bad Vinnie: I am sorry, I got so bored by his rambling that I needed to slap some sense into… well ourselves in this case. But not just to make me err us a better person dad, no it is to make YOU a better person. And I understand, I understand that you will be too stupid to even realize that I am giving you a wake up call. A call that would make you see the light and shit!!!

But realize this you arrogant little prick!!! You are too stuck up on yourself that you are in need to get reality check 1.0 for dummies and Vinnie is just the guy for the job.

Good Vinnie: Gee, thanks!!!

Bad Vinnie ignores the reaction and continues.

Bad Vinnie: I thought I came from a lineage of men that were tough men, that were fighters and never giving up on their ideals. Guess what?? I am apparently going to be facing a man that is delusional, you WERE a great champion. With the great emphasis as WERE. You had the obligated championship rematch anywhere in that entire 2019 and you did what??

Good Vinnie: He squandered his opportunity to do other things Vinnie.

Vinnie is silent for a moment as he realizes that his split personality is reacting to the other.

Bad Vinnie: Oh crap, he knows my name. I just hope he does not know my credit card number. I know what that cactus friend of his did with that. But back to you Austin, you pride yourself of being such a know it all?? That you want to be remembered as the great that lives on in the hearts and souls of others. A man that searches for excuses every time you open up your ass crack and fart?? MAN UP BITCH!!!

You lost!! You said it yourself, you lost fair and square inside that six sided ring. You tapped out to a man that was in no way or form anywhere near YOUR equal. And you lost. And to make things worse Austin, you blame him for doing what you never wanted to happen. Holding that championship belt, to be a champion for over 112 days. Hell you even took pride in someone else taking home the gold as long as it wasn’t Vinnie. Is that something that we should consider being a “real” champ?? Oh sure, if you like apple sauce and you get gravy instead!!!

And just to think I took pride of being released upon this world by a real man?? Seriously Austin?? A real man?? YOU??? When I look at you, I realize why you are hiding your face behind that long beard and long hair. Because you are disgusted by yourself to begin with, if I had a dollar every time I had to listen to Vinnie talk about how great he was…. I would still be broke and wished I had bought some stock in your plummeting market. Because the Internet Champion is hiding behind excuses…., so what will it be this time when you lose once more Austin?? Hiding behind the fact that our personalities are so different that it is too much for you to bear??? Or is it the mere fact that you cannot look back to your buddy Alex for back up?? Because Alex is too chicken shit to step in the ring with Vinnie once again, knowing that he could not even beat the Good one… let alone Vinnie Be Bad!!!!

So do me a favor dipshit, grow some balls instead of some agonizing excuses for being alive will ya?? Because I came here to beat down my creator and hug it out after the match. But when I look at you, I realize I just have to put you out of your misery for good. Hell, I am not holding Vinnie back anymore, I have said what I wanted and I see you inside the ring and spam your ass!!!.

Vinnie turns his face to the side in a demonstrative fashion, having his arms crossed over each other and attempts to ignore the camera. This goes on for a few moments until the camera has zoomed in on his face completely and a smile re-emerges.

Good Vinnie: Aww you know I cannot stay mad for too long!! Hell, I can’t even remember the last time I was mad at all?? Oh wait, I do remember. And what a 360 degrees fashion I overcame the loss of my championship belt compared to you Austin. Now I may know that you will already spew some profanity upon my direction, telling that losing to Ben isn’t as a disgrace as you losing to me. That’s right Austin, I lost my championship belt to Ben Jordan and lost my rematch and moved on.

You just sit there, tell the world that it should have not happened to begin with, how terrible 2019 had become after that faithful moment… and I just had to hear about all the excuses and lies that you could think off in five seconds. And to be honest, I was surprised that you could mention so many in such a short span of time. I am surprised that a man of your stature is such a hypocrite. Yeah Austin, a hypocrite. You tell the world that I am delusional?? At least I do not lie about what I am and where I stand for!! I talk to a cactus and I beat jerks like you!! I just it never fully registered upon your ass huh??

But you know something Austin?? I already know what is your problem… you are feeling stupid over the fact that you never took the rematch clause no matter how injured you were. You waited for your moment to come and when it came you did beat me…, you just never beat me for the title. Did that make you regret your decision?? Did it made you feel like a complete idiot?? Wasting your precious time with excuses that you started to believe in yourself?? I know it must have hurt hyuh?? At least I faced Ben not fully healthy, I faced him and gave him a great match. I congratulated him, where as you?? You were standing there, trying to be a male cheerleader for everyone who had a shot to beat me….

You are just pathetic Austin, you are just a shadow of the man that you proclaim to be. And I am going to exploit you for who you really are…. And at Summer XXXTreme??? I am taking home the gold… amigo….

With that the shot fades.

 Internet safety

Voice: Hello,

Silence

Voice: I already hear you think, another campaign for an internet security program? Another program that claims to be better than any other security program that our competition puts out on the market?? And the answer to these questions is simple… yes… and again no.

Silence

Voice: Yes this is another campaign to persuade you to choose for our services and no this isn’t something that our competition can offer you. Why you may ask?? Well when you decide to subscribe to V-Cacti you will realize that we do not have any competition to begin with.

Silence

Voice: Still not convinced?? Need more arguments?? Obviously we can deliver whatever you need to never look back. Take this example for instance:

The shot opens up where we see a computer and a puppet in front of it. The puppet looks like Austin James Mercer as it has a plastic version of the internet championship belt hanging on the background of the shot.

Voice: We know many internet users that are too clueless of what danger is out there, we have found this volunteer to showcase how stupid some people can be. We call this subject err volunteer Austin. This to protect his true identity, as we do not wish his relatives and friends to point at him and tell him how stupid he really is. And who calls their son Austin these days??? Exactly, those who do not know the existence of V-Cacti.

The shot zooms in on the Austin doll, we can see that he is wearing glasses from the 50’s, causing the eyes to nearly bulge out.

Voice: Our Austin has been an internet junkie, a man that wants to prove to everyone that the internet is safe and does not need to be protected for internet fishing, viruses and obviously internet hackers. And why does Austin think that I hear you ask yourself?? Simple, Austin is a kind hearted fool that believes in honesty and people that will ask you permission before sharing your pictures, programs or videos. Because who wouldn’t want to be share everything with the world???

Silence

Voice: Austin is a simple minded fool, who likes to put everything on his cloud. Because he is confident that nobody can hack his password. Because who would have guessed that 1234567890 is the most used combination by dumbasses like this man???

Silence

Voice: Now I can understand that you are telling yourself that this man is a moron, but why would you pick V-Cacti instead of any other program out there. Well that’s simple, first of all V-Cacti will not ask you to buy a new version after one or two years. We will update and protect your computer for free.

Silence

Voice: Now of course you are telling me that this is too good to be true. Why would we give something away for free??? Of course not you dumb fucks, there’s a one time only payment of 1000 bucks. But before you start to complain, this is for life and when V-Cacti enters your internet, like Senor Vinnie enters your wrestling viewing pleasure every single week. That once you are hooked,k you will never want to go back.

Silence.

Voice: But Austin is a cheap ass prick, never want to pay anything that he believes is stupid and quite…..

Vinnie: PETE!!!!!!!

Suddenly we see Senor Vinnie wake up from a dream screaming out the name of his companion the cactus Pete. He looks at the potted plant that is on his bed next to him as he is wearing a doctors outfit. The camera turns his attention towards Vinnie, who has big pins stuck inside his head.

Vinnie: What the hell are you doing Pete???

Pete: …..

Vinnie: Why in the hell are you trying to execute acupuncture on me Pete!!! Especially in the middle of the night???

Pete: ……

Vinnie rolls his eyes to the answer that his friend has given him.

Vinnie: You are avoiding my question Pete, of course its in the afternoon in Australia. But that does not explain why you are using my head as a pin cushion!!!

He raises his hand to pull out some of the pins out of his head while listening to Pete’s “explanation”

Vinnie: Why are you trying to investigate my dream pattern??

Pete: ….

Vinnie: You are curious why I utter Austin James Mercer’s name in my sleep??? I do not utter his name in my sleep!! I….

Pete suddenly presses on a play button to a tape player that is next to him and we can hear Vinnie muttering something about Austin James Mercer and internet protection called V-Cacti. This causes Vinnie to be silent for a few moments as he scratches his head and searches for an answer.

Vinnie: That’s…..

Silence

Vinnie: Uhm….

Silence once more.

Vinnie: Oh you know!!! You are looking too far into something that isn’t there Pete. I….

Pete once again presses play and we hear the marketing idea of paying 1000 dollars one time only for something that will be free for the remainder of usage. This causes Vinnie to look weird towards Pete.

Vinnie: Pete?? You have to tell me. How in the hell did you manage to record this while putting pins inside my head??? I know you are capable of pressing one button, but this tape recorder is old fashioned and you have to at least press two at the same time. I….

Pete shows Vinnie a fake thumb and finger that is attached to a fork like object, this catches Vinnie by surprise and realizes that Pete is more inventive than he had imagined.

Vinnie: Pete!! You are amazing, yet disturbing. Why didn’t you tell me that I was having clearloy nightmares about Austin James Mercer???

Pete; …..

Vinnie: You are telling me that this has been going on for months now??? What kind of friend are you??? A real friend would have stepped in and done something. I….

Pete: …..

Vinnie becomes silent for a moment as he digests the answer of Pete and scratches his head.

Vinnie: You are telling me that you are using acunpuncture for months now?? Oh my God, that explains a lot.

Vinnie thinks back to the many mornings that he woke up and catches his bed sheets and pillow case covered in his own blood. He looks around the bedroom before turning back to Pete, who has a stethoscope hanging around its neck, something that for some reason has not been caught before since waking up.

Vinnie: What do you mean you want to investigate my breathing pattern??? I am quite healthy PETE!! I…

Pete: ……

Vinnije sighs as he nods his head as he sees Pete use the fork finger/thumb object that he had shown earlier and uses it to put the cold object to his chest near his heart. Then he “tells” Vinnie to inhale deeply before exhaling again and repeat this a few more times in the process.

Vinnie: And Pete?? Is it serious???

Asks Vinnie after feeling the cold object being pulled away from his heart as this leaves him a sad feeling. As he has quite enjoyed the cold sensation for some stupid reason but refuses to look deeper into this weird sensation.

Pete: …..

Vinnie: What do you mean I have to lose weight??? I am not Iris that gets fed fattening food that you give her every single day???!! I…

Pete: ….

Vinnie’s eyes slowly grow as huge as coins, clearly not believing what Pete told him.

Vinnie: What do you mean I am 900 pounds???!!! I ….

Vinnie looks down to his body and sees that he has turned into a fat monster when suddenly

Vinnie: PETE!!!!!!!

Again Vinnie wakes up, clearly he dreamt that he was dreaming about Austin James Mercer and that he was being helped by Pete with an acupuncture session. He looks around the bedroom as everything is complete covered in darkness. At the foot end of his bed he sees Pete sleeping in his very small sized bed and scratches his head. He quickly looks down at his upper body and sighs of relief realizing that he has not turned into an 800 pound monster. He then quickly feels the top of his head and doesn’t feel any pins stuck inside his head as well.

Vinnie: I must have dreamt about all of this, Pete is nowhere near a doctor that can try to cure me with acupuncture. He is too weak to blow away a feather, let alone use a weird device with a finger and a thumb. I need not to worry so much and go back to sleep.

Vinnie dozes off again as the camera zooms in on Pete, who is wearing a doctors outfit with a stethoscope. Slowly rising off of his bed while having a pin stuck inside of his head as the shot slowly starts to fade to darkness


The Internet Troll has struck

We enter the Staggs Dungeon where we see Senor Vinnie seated in a corner, resting his arms across the middle rope and stares towards the turnbuckles across him. Relaxing from some practice routines he and Bill Barnhart went through to prepare them for their up coming matches at Climax Control. Bill has left a few moments ago as he had to check on his dog Iris, who refused to leave due to Pete’s presence. But ultimately had to listen to her boss Bill.

Vinnie: You sure have a way with women don’t you Pete??

Vinnie smiles, not really listening to his friend the Cactus his response. No Vinnie has other intentions on his mind and he succeeded on the last Climax Control. Getting under the skin of Austin James Mercer, the man that he had targeted after his last few matches. It took two separate occasions before apparently Austin had enough

Vinnie: Even you would succeed Pete, I’m just surprised it would be this easy.

He smiles, remembering how Austin ran out during Vinnie’s match with Jack Washington and cost Jack the match by Disqualification. Granted, Vinnie would have preferred to pin or make Jack submit, but in the long run this was even more satisfactory for him. Knowing that he has struck a nerve with Austin this past week. He closes his eyes and sighs, letting his fingers gently stroke the ropes as he lets them run up and down them.

Vinnie: I can only imagine how people were attempting to talk some sense into you Austin, I mean you are the glue that keeps the entire Wolfslair together isn’t it?? Because let’s face it, targeting Alex would have been less fun, because we both know how self-destructive he can be no?? At least he would stoop to any level to anger whomever it is…. But you??? No for you this is new territory is it not??? To lower yourself to the level of the unknown…, how wonderful.

He re opens his eyes as it possesses a glee of true pleasure, the corners of his mouth slowly rises upwards as to show a sinister grin.

Vinnie: The unknown, the one thing that already has made you make mistakes Austin. And I was so surprised to see you crumble under the apparent pressure that you are on are you not?? Like me keeping my cactus away from our future matchup…, now please remind me Austin?? Last year’s Summer XXXtreme… the night where I wedded and beat you for the gold…, Pete was in Mexico City…. Nowhere to be seen…. Did I not beat you fair and square?? Did I not make you submit in the middle of the ring?? The night where I made you decide to go on a path of…. Shall we say soul searching?? The pleasantries of it all was quite astonishing. But I know you were waking up late at night in a pool of your own sweat. Realizing that you did not expected to lose the belt against someone so undeserving like yours truly.

Ah how wonderful life can be is it not??

He slowly raises a hand to his mouth and wipes off some sweat from his brow, letting his finger tips trace a path of sweat down to his cheek until he comes in contact with his mouth. Softly licking his own sweat as in to absorb it as a glass of water.

I could go on for hours and hours about you Austin, but that would undermine the fact that I need to say praise to a man that has been a great champion. A man that has done so much more than either of us combined when it comes down to championships and reigns… a man that I could very well utter out that he is the first ever Former World Champion that I as a former World Champion in this organization will face….. I’m sorry if he undermines you for that glorious occasion Austin. But I guess not everything in life revolves around YOU doesn’t it??

But don’t start to run your mouth, please do not tell the world that I am merely a cactus loving fun guy with no brain and care for the feelings of others Austin… Because I do…, I just only care about those who matter senor…. And that would be the one that I shall be facing this week on Climax Control

Shocker!!!

Vinnie places his hands upon the side of his face and does a mocking look of utter shock as if he has seen the demise of the universe….. or perhaps this would be the reaction he would make watching every episode of The Marine….. only to slowly shaking his head and changing his demeanour back to what we have grown accustomed of from him.

Vinnie: Welcome Kris…, welcome to the momentous occasion that in normal life would have been crowned a Main Event Match of the ages. Where bookers with a normal sized brain and actually use them would not degrade our star power in this organization for being a warm up match for whatever other joke that comes after us. But I guess Jack has had a sore spot of accepting failure before his pathetic attempt of gaining a world championship title from Ben… I know that Mark and Chris would be even hoping that the ratings would even reach 500 subscribers after 99,9 percent of every watching fan have turned their attention after WE stole the show. But I guess that’s what you get when you allow a joke to run the show is it not???

Oh how interesting of a concept your response shall be, the man with the fluid ability of the slip of the tongue will utter so many other verbal pleasantries that would make any Presidential candidate sow his mouth shut in shame, as they all are unable to pass the dictionary after the word bollocks.

And yet I have to praise the world for this momentous occasion, that I am graced to share the ring with someone who used to grace our federation with greatness. Who used to be the crème de la crème. Only to accept the fact that even YOU cannot always get what you want senor…. Perhaps hoping for Austin finally succeeds in learning his crash course of how to interfere in wrestling matches for Dummies. You know the one where you can use crayons instead of actually something that would show you got talent???

Vinnie starts to chuckle sinister

Vinnie: I know that these words are contested by merely an ego of the size of the universe that cannot even fit inside anyone’s head…. Statements that needs to be proven in the six sided ring… A dangerous thing to say when you haven’t tested the shark-infested waters is it not???

But where’s the joy in playing safe like….

There’s a cynical smile upon the face of Vinnie as he suddenly stops mid sentence, not wanting to reveal the name of who he was suggesting to.

Vinnie: I almost gave in to temptation did I not?? It’s too easy to continue the ridicule the supposedly good name of a man that wishes to look back upon his life and can claim that he has done everything that those who he respected have done the as well. Merely trying to become a copy cat to the likes of the greats, knowing that his existence is merely a fluke and a rip off. But that’s what you get when you place an asterisk behind your own name is it not…. Austin?? Oh hell, now I ruined the suspense of every three year old that was promised to stay up a while longer by their pathetic parents. In the hopes of learning something valuable that only greats like ourselves can teach is it not Kristopher???

I see my life as an education on two legs, I see the teachings that are on the wall. Yet I never shall lose value of historical importance… whereas the crumbling walls of yesterdays past are nothing more than an afterthought. Just like many wrestling careers in this company that just sit here… using every possible way to hold on to a last thread of hope to one day reach their historical potential. History is often remembered by repeating themselves over and over again isn’t it??? In good and of course in bad.

There’s a silence for a moment Vinnie is staring at the timekeepers clock that hangs high in the arena where the digits are all on zero. His eyes are fixated upon it as his attitude has changed from the fun earlier on to a serious one.

Tick Tock…, it’s quite obvious that time has got a way of catching up on everyone isn’t it?? The hour glass that ultimately catches up on you and passes you by without looking back and wondering whether you can keep up or not. Making me wonder whether on what alternate timeline you have got on once more Kris??? Are you still ahead of the inevitable?? Or are you just using everything in your power to hold on to a final straw of life?? Now of course the cocky son of a bitch that you are will either tell me that I am stupid, that you have yet to reach the pinnacle of your career and that I am beneath you…. Or perhaps you would take a dump and sit there in the filth that you are?

Now don’t get me wrong senor…, obviously it is my duty to talk you in a corner, merely to get a reaction… It’s what you American’s like to call trash talking no?? Trash…, how ironic to go from a trash Internet champion to talk down a man that is superior to many…. But that’s the problem isn’t it?? Many is because you have faced them probably before or are on the level of Austin James Mercer or beneath him…. But then there’s the miracle match that nobody ever knew they wanted until they will get to witness the two men that will headline this organization in the future years to come.

Or are we Kristopher???

He shakes his head in disbelief and sighs

Vinnie: That are merely hopeful dreams is it not Kristopher?? I mean seriously, what better hopeful dream is there of a returning star that was long gone.. A name that was almost forgotten, a name that people could not even remember what face is behind it. An entrance song that made people go look back in the history books of this company and wonder how they have possibly forgotten you…. But I will tell you that they are wrong

We never met in the ring, but I know the name Kris Ryans. Jet City with your brother, the man that wore the singles championships. The man that put down everyone out there in this organization feared…. But I am Senor Vinnie Kris… I am the man that nobody respects, I am the man that nobody takes seriously.  I AM THE MAN that will tell Jack Washington that when he somehow beats Ben Jordan… that he is holding that championship belt for me to take back once more……… but until that moment comes I will just merely entertain myself with two former world champions.

He mocks a happy smile on his face as if he has opened a huge gift box and has been awarded the one gift that he has always wanted.

Vinnie: But it’s not about Jack or Austin this week, it’s the clash that should be Main Eventing Climax Control. It’s the clash that has two ego’s of the size of the universe butt heads. The Captain America and Iron Man of this organization and there won’t be any End Game to settle this score. The mere thought that I can set foot inside this squared circle with the man that has done it all makes my mouth water, makes me want to get up early every night and prepare for that altercation. Makes me want to stare you in the eyes and smile every time that you attempt to pin me and I kick out amigo. Because that’s what is ahead of you senor, the man that is destined to be a fluke. The man that has been labelled so often as a joke, a freak and everything in between. Is the man that makes many of you all scream out his name out of pure frustration and disbelief…. And soon, soon I can add your name to that very list. How ironic to see the confidence in my words, the confidence in my eyes while we have never met before…..

Does that make you wonder Kristopher???

Of course not.

Vinnie leans his head back against the turnbuckles and closes his eyes for a few moments.

Because nothing makes you wonder what if?? Nothing makes you upset, nothing makes you a troubled soul inside that squared circle. A man that I respect, a man that I have watched so many times when I was just a wee Vinnie when it comes down to this great sport. I know what you can do Kris, I know what you are all about. And I know that everything that I say is wrong to your listening ears. As if a music critique listens to Nickleback tells Chad Kroeger to shove acid down his throat all to convince him that he will sound just like John freaking Lennon. Because you are Kris Ryans…, the greatest active wrestler that mankind has ever been graced to witness as if their eyes has opened for the very first time….

Do you remember that moment Kris?? It’s been so long that I may have even questioned that same question upon myself. Do you remember?? Does it eat you from within?? Is that why you came back Kris?? Because deep down inside you just never could accept the fact that you deserve to be remembered as a what if?? A what if he had stayed? What if he had won this and done that? What if I shove my foot down your throat and make you count your stinking teeth amigo???

His gaze is locked upon the camera fully as his intensity slowly is increasing.

Vinnie: I cannot have you run around anymore Kris, even though it’s a nice reflection of how SCW and wrestling used to be in general when you ran the ship into the ground. Remembrering the smart and vile remarks that made you a household name, but seriously Kris.. no matter how successful you may get in this company once more. It still damages your legacy, it still puts you down into the mud. Knowing that in a year of so in the future, the same what if notion pops up inside your head. And let’s be honest, beating nobodies of the mid card roster like our current one half of the SCW mixed tag team championships multiple times is not much of a feat that would revive your career son. But be my guest, if you wish to settle the score with nothing more than stuff like that?? Then I am certain putting another dent in your career will only mean something for me in the record book of mine.

Former SCWE World Champion against Former SCW World Champion. The only thing worth mentioning of bringing you back out of the anonymity of your existence. Anonymity is what is your future once more and that will not change anything Kris…, because anonymity is what you have become in this wrestling industry. And winning a shot at a title anywhere int his calendar year does not change the fact that the OLD KRIS never needed something like that to extend the passing of the hour glass. Because he TOOK whatever he wanted, you??? Oh sure, you can claim that you took the right to challenge for a championship… but you earned nothing yet Kris.

And don’t try to tell me that I do not know anything about things like that…, because I do… ask that to the current shame of a King for a Day…, clueless to what the true definition of royalty is all about amigo. Because I know deep down inside Jack’s gut, he hopes that Ben will be merciful upon his soul…. Something that I will not be with yours. Because in the end, I will cherish the memory that put me over the hump of becoming what I am today… the one thing I know about history…, is that history should just remain that Kris… a memory. A fond reminder of what it once was…. And THAT wwhat you will never be again…,

Adios amigo… enjoy the ride back home

With that the shot fades.

 To be the King or not to be the King…, that’s the question. Part one

Vinnie: To be or not to be, that’s the question.

A familiar quote opens up the shot in the hotel lobby where Senor Vinnie is standing there amongst SCW superstar Bill Barnhart and his wife Bea.  Where he is standing in the middle of the lobby, while having Cactus Pete sitting in front of him in a directors chair, having a cigar stuck in his skin and having a script in front of him. Vinnie looks at Pete after finishing his sentence as if the cactus has said something

Pete: …..

Vinnie nods his head as he once again stands upon his position, looking at the “crowd” of Bea and Bill while their Bulldog Iris is eating from a bowl of nacho’s that Pete had ordered for her a few moments ago.

Vinnie: To be or not to be……..,

There’s a moment of silence

Vinnie: That’s the question…..

Pete: ………

Vinnie looks back at Pete, with a puzzled look upon his face.

Vinnie: I did just as you asked of me Pete, you know?? Putting some more dramatic nuances into it.

Pete: …….

Bill and Bea look on as the two friends bicker between each other as Bill looks over to his wife with a puzzled look on his face.

Bill: I sometimes wonder what the hell that his cactus friend is telling him Bea.

Bea: You do?

Bill looks away from his wife and back to Vinnie, who has grabbed himself a small mirror that he had in his pocket and uses it to comb his hair.

Vinnie: I didn’t said that I was curious whether these two could have an intelligent conversation, it would only make me understand the two even better than I do.

Bea looks at the two before turning her head back to her husband with a puzzled look on her face.

Bea: You have often problems figuring out Iris, let alone some guy with his potted plant. I tell you this Bill, I think you should try to let go off trying to break your head over these two.

The camera cut back to Vinnie after combing his hair and checking his teeth and gums to see whether they look healthy or not.

Vinnie: Back to me?? Okay…, I am sure I have got this right now Pete….

He coughs a few times and looks down to the ground, he repeats the line of what he has to say a few times in a soft whisper. Following it up with loosening the muscles in shoulders and then loosening his neck.

Vinnie: To be…., no wait… wait a moment.

He turns around, he gets to the floor and does some pushups and then gets back to his feet before facing Pete again.

Bea: He really tries to get into his role huh???

Bill nods his head in agreement as Vinnie looks around in an attempt to get his focus back.

Vinnie: To be…, or not to be…. Now THAT’S the question……

Bill: Now I am sure that the NOW part didn’t belong in the…

Bea: Shh, he is improvising

Pete: ……

Vinnie ignores the reactions from Pete as he has really got himself into the role of playing Hamlet and continues to utter the poem with slight alterations of course.

Vinnie: Whether ‘tis noble in the mind to suffer when I whoop your ass
Or to to take arms against a sea of troubles that you will be enduring when I slap the Rings of Mariachi on your ass.

Bill: I never knew that Shakespeare was such an emotional writer, great stuff.

Bea rolls her eyes and shakes her head while Vinnie gets more and more into his version of the third act and first scene of Hamlet

Vinnie: And by opposing end them??? …… What the *bleep* are you talking about Pete?

Finally Pete has managed to get under the skin of Vinnie, causing him to stop in his tirade, believing every word that he uttered in the process.

Pete: …..

Vinnie: Now I know that being a professional that there aren’t the original words that Shakespeare wrote down!! But by God, those words are from centuries ago!! He never experienced a Burrito in his life!! Let alone a full blooded handsome Latino male like yours truly!!

Pete: …..

Vinnie: Just like what I have done in so many different areas Pete, I bring some extra class to whatever it is that I am doing. Nobody else cares about a play like this?? Well nobody and some old folks of course

Vinnie peeks over at Bill, hoping that he won’t feel personally confronted by this statement from the former champion. But Bill is too busy having a discussion with his wife to have even noticed what Vinnie had said.

Pete: …..

Vinnie’s eyes almost bulge out of his sockets after hearing what Pete had said to him.

Vinnie: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! My improvisations of this old folks play is perfection if I say it myself!! And guess what?? I did!! And I am far from being as boring as Lachlan Kane, because that idiot never show up when he is supposed to!!!

Pete: …….

Vinnie: OH sure!! Go change your opinion to people that are just like parrots, imitating everything that others say. Just to think that they are cool or perhaps inventive to begin with!!

Pete: …..

And no!! I don’t need you to do the talking for me!! Who do you think I am?? I am not some idiot that doesn’t wish the world to know his first name you know!!!

Pete: ….

Vinnie: The only reason I allow you to speak to me like this is because you have a degree in classic theatre and DOD Pete. But to this very day I wonder what kind of Dungeon Master would allow an Goblin to slay the hero with a feather of a pigeon??

Pete: …. Oh please stop with the nonsense that this ogre’s father mated with a blind geese!!! Of course that’s not possible!!! Because not even a Pterodactyl would stoop that low to allow himself to be seen with someone as low as dirt!!!

The argument between Pete and Vinnie heat up, causing Iris to start to look up from her bowl and start to growl and bark towards Vinnie. Causing him to raise his arms in the air and look around in utter disgust, before turning his attention to Bill.

Vinnie: Bill? Can you please tell your dog that if she doesn’t stop barking and growling that I won’t pay for her desert???

Bill looks up from the discussion with his wife with a puzzled look on his face.

Bill: Desert?? You never told us about any desert??? Bea!! Did you know about this???

Bea: I had told you this on the way over here Bill, that both Vinnie and Pete would give her a three course meal. And seeing she already had her soup and now her bowl of nacho’s?? What more could you expect but desert??

Bill: I object!! She gets gas from too much whipped cream!!!

The tow of them start to argue, causing Vinnie, Pete and even Iris to stop with what they were doing and stare at them in amazement.

Pete: ……

Vinnie: I agree Pete, this is just completely a waste of time. To be honest, the same could be said about Lachlan Kain and Finn Whelan. I guess the two of them got stuck somewhere in a whisky brewery down the road and start to chase some leprechaun in the hopes to find some pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I mean don’t they know that it’s against company regulations to leave the hotel until you are scheduled to compete? But thankfully I am aware of the strict policy that our beloved owners of the SCW uphold. I am sure that there will be a decent punishment that these two jackoffs have to endure before entering this match. You know, maybe cleaning every hotel room?? Doing the dishes?? Removing every doggie doodoo that Iris manages to drop every time she gets excited for food???

Iris: Bark!!!

Vinnie: Exactly, I could not have said it any better Iris. I mean seriously, we are promised to have six men do their job to entertain and educate these fans that have to stay home and what they do?? I am sure that they are just wasting their and our time with some Irish Rip-off for a Pina Colada. But anyways, if they do not deliver the right punishment… be assured, that in this ladder match?? I will break every single bone in their bodies.

Pete: …..

Vinnie: Now granted Pete, you are right. There have been three of my five fellow indulgent and obviously impatient co stars int his play that I like to call To Be The King Or Not To Be The King play, written by Cactus Pete Shakespeare. But they are only subdued to a role of being an extra. To fill up the spaces of where we need someone to fill time while I am allowed to take a sip and catch a breath. Because lets face it, being a part of a play like this tells the world that you need to have a pair of lungs as if you want to run the Marathon of New York and Boston combined.

Pete: …….

No I clearly stated a marathon Pete, not some sort of 100 meters dash or going for the 110 meter hurdles. Because every idiot that thinks that speed is the way to go are wrong, they need to have their brains examined for as many holes like a Gouda cheese. Because speed kills, just like being slammed into a ladder that you just sat up to be climbed upon a few moments ago.

Pete: …..

Vinnie: I know Pete, you cannot have a play with merely extra’s, you need someone that the audience like these two

Vinnie points at Bill and Bea, who have reconciliated with each other and stopped their argument.

Vinnie: Like I said, you need someone that the audience can identify. And that would be me, a gorgeous hunk of a man that has got everything going for himself… and yet is still not satisfied with everything he has accomplished in life, because every time I set foot upon any stage in life I want to improve….

Bill: Well spoken Vinnie.

Vinnie: Gracias senor Bill

Bill turns his attention to Bea and is about to ask her something.

Bea: He said thank you Bill…

Vinnie: Indeed senora Bea, I said thank you. And I also should say thanks to a man that I should see as the bad man in this play.

Bill: Boo!!!

Vinnie: The man that would do anything for me not to reach my goal in life


Bill: BOOO!!!!!!

Vinnie: A man that would get your blood pumping and you wish to boo him every time you see him get on stage.

Bill gets up from his seat and is about to boo even louder, but is stopped by Bea.

Bea: ot now dear, Vinnie is currently portraying his role as Hamlet

Bill sits down again as he thanks for Bea to stop him as he got too carried away

Vinnie: But even if you are the man that would do anything in his power to stop me, I am the one that believes in a happy ending. I believe in the fact that the hero should always prevail, to give people like these and many others around the world hope.

Bill: You tell them Vinnie!!!

Bea attempts to stop Bill as he gets too carried away in the speech that Vinnie is giving.

Vinnie: Because societies and nations are build upon hope, hope that one day everything will be alright and that senor Vinnie shall be crowned…. King…. Even if it is merely for a day.

With that the shot fades with a smiling senor Vinnie.

To be the King or not to be the King…., that’s the question. Part two

Do Royalties really matter in today’s society???

Good question, I’ve often wondered this myself to be honest…. Err wait, before I go further in a long assed discussion I shall introduce myself.

(a few coughs can be heard as it is followed up by someone clearing his throat and finally a do re mi)

That hit the spot, of course you have already guessed it. I am your favourite Mariachi…. Senor Vinnieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The long emphasis on the e is cut short by a soft bump that is barely caught by the microphone that is installed in the laptop that Senor Vinnie had signed into. We cannot see him yet because Vinnie has pushed the 17 inch screen downwards upon the keyboard for whatever reason he has to do so. We can all second guess a few times, but with the Mariachi of Wrestling there’s always a million plus opportunities for an answer.

Voice: Uhm Vinnie???

A female’s voice can be heard coming from the build in speakers of Vinnie’s laptop, signalling us that is watching this that apparently Vinnie has made contact with someone else. Again the question is for us to ask ourselves is whether Vinnie knew or not…

Vinnie: Are you already there Willow?

A sigh can be heard coming from the laptop, it’s followed up by some whispers that clearly are not for the listening ears of our junior viewers. (discretion is advised) But finally decides to respond

Willow: Yes Vinnie, I just sat down behind my laptop after grabbing myself a cup of coffee and I’m all set to do our Skype session for Willow’s behind the scenes show.

Vinnie: Wait.., I have got so much things to do, I….

Willow can be heard mumbling to herself

Willow: (mumbling) What an idiot…, I told him that the live feed would start at 2 pm and it’s already 2 minutes past 2.

She sighs

Willow: Please don’t take too long Vinnie, after this we have our weekly review with Jason Adams and Belinda Simone. I…

Vinnie comes back into view as he has put on sunglasses and then pushes the screen back up to normal view. Willow looks at him as she starts to raise her eyebrow.

Willow: Uhm Vinnie??

Vinnie: Si???

Willow: Why are you wearing sunglasses??

Vinnie: Because the sun is shining and I….

Willow rolls her eyes after hearing his answer

Willow: But your curtains are closed??? Did you violate our wellness policy???

Vinnie takes off the sunglasses and stares at Willow with a look of curiosity on his face.

Vinnie: I only drank that one bottle that I found in the hallway of my hotel room, I knew I shouldn’t have picked that one up.

Willow: Err.., I only made a joke. I…,

Vinnie turns his gaze away from the screen as he is thinking back to that moment

Vinnie: I knew that there was something strange with that bottle, I mean seeing it was on a cleanings lady car in the hallway?? She was singing some German song…,

Willow: Err, Vinnie???

Vinnie: Or at least I assumed it was German, it could have very well been Danish or Swedish. She had long blonde hair you know.

Willow: I give up…,

Vinnie snaps out of his thoughts after hearing the response from Willow as he raises his eyebrow.

Vinnie: I did not raise a quitter Willow…,

This reaction catches Willow off guard.

Willow: What???f

Vinnie: You said you would give up, I mean seriously?? I know your program sucks and all, but to quit after only like what?? Three episodes???

Willow: Err Vïnnie? I have been doing this for like three years now. I….,

Vinnie: No wonder you never got off a good start, you always got stuck with mediocre wrestlers. I mean now you have El Mariachi… Senor Vinnie!!! The Mariachi Of Wrestling!! The…

Willow(groans): Yeah we know who you are Vinnie, we only have so much to ask and so much time to do it in. So why don’t we start off with….

Vinnie: I should ask Fenris about that cleaning lady….

Willow: What???

Vinnie: He is Icelandic, I am sure he knows a few words across the border of his lovely island in Europe.

Willow: But…,

Vinnie: Come to think about it, I have always been taught that blue liquid is usually a bad thing to drink. I mean seriously, why would you let a bottle with blue liquid hanging around a hallway?? There are people with children you know!!

Willow: With that said, I…

Vinnie: Or dogs, or in my case a cactus. It should be against the law!!!!

Willow: HEY!! Vinnie!!!

Vinnie stops his rambling, he stares at the screen of his laptop as he notices that Willow is irritated and breathing heavy.

Vinnie: Si???

Willow: DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW???

Vinnie: Si…., I have heard every word you sad you know?? You don’t have to react so viciously  or something.

Willow takes a deep breath and then remembers that this is a live interview that will be transmitted on the SCW network. She then brings back one of her famous smiles and shows why she is a professional.

Willow: Ladies and gents, welcome to another weekly episode of Willows Den. Where I, Pussy Willow ask the hard questions to our Superstars and Bombshells. The question that YOU out there want to know about.

She brushes a hair out of her face and looks at the first question on her card and smiles before turning her attention to Vinnie.

Willow: Vinnie, you have been a former world champion and obviously want another crack at it. So far you lost your rematch against Ben Jordan, recently lost to Griffin Hawkins in a match many fans have been wanting to see again. How do you feel about the year 2020 so far??

Vinnie scratches his chin, nodding his head while thinking over the question that Willow had asked him.

Vinnie: Well obviously I want another shot at becoming a two-time champion, but before I do that I need to finish some unfinished businesses.

Willow cocks her head sideways, not expected that answer.

Willow: Like what Vinnie??

Vinnie smiles as he shakes his head sideways

Vinnie; Oh now come on Willow, I know for a fact that this isn’t a question on your card that the fans had been dying to know. But before you are about to change the rules, I will give you a freebie. A scoop so to speak no???

Willow: A scoop?? This is interesting…, does this have to do with Bill and Bea Barnhart???

Vinnie shakes his head once more from left to right, signalling that Willow is far off on that question.

Vinnie: Oh Willow, how I would love to say that this is the biggest secret that I have been hiding since last December. But no…, Senor Bill and Senora Bea and I have come to a mutual understanding of some sorts. Making it a nullified suggestion that this has got anything… and I mean ANYTHING to do what I need to finish what I had started last year. But I will give you a tip of the hat to your futile attempt for sure…..

Willow: Griffin Hawkins???

Vïnnie rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Vinnie: I forgive you for the lack of confidence that is currently oozing of your forehead senorita Willow, clearly you are at lost for words when the answer does not mix the order of questions that you had planned this entire interview upon. But no, you see Senor Griffin Hawkins and I have what they call a mutual respect…. And we both want to bring home the decisive result on who the better man is… But again, I have to disappoint you with a no senorita. This goes far deeper into what I need to do to redeem what I have lost… But you will find out at Into The Void… or at least… if you can stay awake for that long

He grins as Willow looks on with a look of being confused.

Willow: Err.., right…, you have been assigned to the King For The Day ladder match, what are your thoughts about that??

Vinnie puts back on his sunglasses and moves his face sideways and pretends to stare at Willow through a camera that isn’t there.

Vinnie: Oh now come on Willow?? I have not been able to answer the question on how I am feeling this year is going?? I mean surely you want to hear about that don’t you?? And how I love to face Griffin once more??

Willow: Well…,

Vinnie: You see Willow, no offence. But I only took this interview because it was pointed at me that I am contractual obligated to do so. Of course I prefer to do my interviews with senor Pete….

Willow manages to interrupt Vinnie:

Willow: Pete the Cactus???

This causes Vinnie to turn sideways towards the camera on his laptop, sighing before lowering his sunglasses slightly.

Vinnie: Senor Pete is my manager, he is my amigo, he is the one that completes me and also terrorizes my sleep with odd dreams that never make sense!! So in order to answer your question?? Yes he is Pete the Cactus…

Willow: ……

Vinnie: But back to what is more importantly, my year is all about redemption. It is all about me being able to smile down upon each and every other persons faces and…

He suddenly stops and smiles, causing to attract Willows curiosity.

Willow: And???

Vinnie: And what senorita willow???

Willow: You said that you wanted to be able to smile down upon each and ever other persons faces and? And then what???

Vinnie: Yes, I have to agree that 2020 is an interesting year so far Willow, I had some fun matches, made some new amigo’s, made sure that Pete’s romance with Iris continues and grew an alliance that would be very interesting indeed.

Willow: Err…, you changed the subject Vinnie.

Vinnie: Oh Willow, all I did was answer the final part of your original question that you asked me. The way I see it is that my answers fit perfectly into the line of expectations that you clearly did not have.

Willow: But…,

Vinnie: Just like you had the curiosity that killed at least someone’s cat…. And before anyone out there is calling any animal rights awareness group…. Know that I was referring to the classic 80’s pop group that little Vinnie was fan off!!!!

Willow: Err…, right…,

Vinnie: Oh sure!! Everyone loved the Spice Girls, but nobody admitted to ever buy one single or album from them. Or what about Wham?? NKOTB??? The Dolly Dots???

Willow lowers her head and mumbles something in disgust, knowing that already 20 minutes have gone to waste to something that should have been an interview for the ladder match at the Into The Void super show.

Willow: Why me??? Why???

Vinnie: But all it is boiling down to is what the people want to know!! Well my social media has been curious of why I am in this ladder match to begin with? As if it is a conspiracy or something?? I wonder if it is that people are already wondering whether I am holding others back?? Sending them back to the line in hopes for an opportunity to face Warren Steele??? And that made me think

Willow raises her head out of her hands and looks at Vinnie with a puzzled look on her face.

Willow: It did???

Vinnie: Oh sure it did Willow, it made me realize that apparently I am not the only wrestler that the fans of this company are concerned with. And it made me a proud member of this organization.

Willow: Proud?? How do you mean???

Vinnie: Well I came to the conclusion Willow that since the departure of some of the legendary greats of this company, this company had fallen to mediocrity. Maybe there were a few names here and there that kept some crowds interested by viewing this product as some sort of relief. You know, trying to escape your every days life by being bored by the boring lives of others. You of all people should understand that Willow.

Willow: Wait…, hey!!!

Vinnie: Now calm down, I realized that I did this company a service by entering the ranks and made people notice me. Hell, I even brought in a whole new category of fans into this company that it never had before.

Willow: I shudder to ask…, but what category???

Vinnie: Well the agricultural sector of course!!!!

Willows head drops down to the table, just inches above hitting the table as she has clearly given up to do a serious interview session with the former champion. Who at this point has not taken any notice of Willow and continues to ramble on.

Vinnie: Just the other day I checked the growth on the sale of cactus plants have increased with 200 percent since the day I joined this company, now if that isn’t being a major impact player then what is???

Willow:……..

Clearly not even noticing that Willow has given up in its entirely as he continues to ramble on.

Senor Vinnie: It’s why I am pitted in this ladder match to become the King For The Day, because lets face it. Even though I would understand the draw it would have if me and Ben would face of again, I understand that Senor Cross earned that shot. I also understand that being a King solidifies my stature int his company. A former Golden Briefcase Winner, for some reason not being mentioned as Rookie of the Year.. and yet if you look at it… last year, I was on the top 2 list of most successful wrestlers in the win column period!!

He stops for a few moments as he takes off his sunglasses completely and stares at the laptop without even noticing that Willow has gotten up to grab a drink or something. Being so full of himself makes him oblivious of what others do or say.

Vinnie: I have been world champion, I have been a struggle for many to comprehend.. I am the crème de la crème of the international crop of talent that has come from everywhere. And soon??? I shall be crowned… KING!!!!!

He has risen his head up high, anticipating some response from Willow, but after a few moments he decides to look at the screen. Where he witnesses for the first time that she had left the chat window.

Vinnie: I guess she must have bought a cactus by now?

With that he closes the shot with a satisfied look upon his face.

To be the King or not to be the King….., that’s the question. Part three

We come back to see Senor Vinnie sitting in the hotel gym, having a towel draped across his shoulders after a long work out. He is smiling while drinking some water, noticing the camera and motions for it to come closer as he takes another sip from the bottle of water.

Vinnie: It’s interesting on how to see how things unfold now isn’t it?? Surely I am aware that people will think and say a lot of things that makes sense to themselves, but is that all that needs the mustard to become spicy?? Now forgive me if that does not make any sense to you, but it’s what it is isn’t it?? The reality of it all is that sense is just a concept, an afterthought that people like to consider reality. Confusing opinions with facts, makes it all so much more fun to make them snap if I break them free out of their own bubble isn’t it???

The bubble that they live in, I am aware that it must sound very hypocritical to come out of the mouth that is being accused to talk to a cactus over a million times a year…. And why you may ask??? Well obviously people will state the one thing that their brains have digested since day one, the fact that their eyes are watching a situation unfold before their very eyes… as they are watching me talk to Pete… and yet, is that truly what they should be watching? Or is it the fact that the one thing that they should be watching is that what they cannot see.

Oh I just love to talk into riddles that makes National Geographic look like 3rd grade student who is still stuck on what the fuck one plus one is… do your maths fools, it’s quite obvious that you have not even grown up to the capability of grasping the reality even if it is spitting you right in the face.

But I can wait….

A soft sinister chuckle can be heard as he wipes off the sweat from his brow with the towel he brought with him, holding it close to his face for a few moments as he inhales the scent of his own sweat from the fabric. He slowly drops the towel and places it next to him on the bench he is sttign on and breathes heavily.

Vinnie: I remembered the first time I participated in this organization, the new guy. People were hesitant to talk to me…, not because of my antics… but merely because they did not know what I was capable off. Fast forward quite some time further and they still don’t see what I truly am all about.. and that’s so wonderful to see that evolution in the human brain and its psyche has come to a conclusion as that most of you are just too stuck by playing it safe…. Telling the world what is good and what is bad… and all you could have figured out was that we all are so close… And yet so far away….

He snaps his fingers and grins.

Vinnie: Whether it is the cactus thing or the fact that I am a supposed Mariachi artist that thinks he can wrestle…, you only like to watch the things that you wish you could see isn’t it?? Because watching something is so much different than actually seeing what is truly standing in front of you. And how do you digest that what you wish to see, but are unable to watch?? Hmm? It’s all very simple when you think about it…, you try to kill what you do not understand isn’t it?? Because what has history taught us?? That what people do not understand, they wish to kill or destroy. Show their own dominance over that what they cannot grasp, in fear of being dominated in the end and that is something that nobody wish to experience now is it???

I know I am often diagnosed by people that assume that they can acquire the role of doctor, even if it is for one night to tell me that I am insane. That I don’t belong, that I do not fit in their world because I am different. Telling the world that they are better than yours truly for whatever reason and that they will beat the shit out of me and take whatever dignity I have away from me….

A sigh escapes his mouth as he closes his eyes.

Vinnie: And yet how many have truly succeeded?? Oh sure, I admit that I am not unbeatable. That I have met my match every now and then…, but that makes me better and more prepared for the next time I come face to face with reality. Because I see things, where your deceitful eyes allow you to watch and create a situation where you are most comfortable in. And you know why?? Because you don’t know any better do you?? Instead of assessing the fact that I have yet to lose on any super card this year, I am being stifled by the cactus loving, lack of oxygen pumping into my brain, delusional type of guy…. While you should be focusing on the fact that I am the former World heavyweight champion that sets traps for you to step into and guess what?? You all fell for it like the simple minded individuals that you are….

People are often too slow to learn new things aren’t they?? Scared for the realization that they werfe actually wrong, so in the process they hold on to that one thing that they know and refuse to accept the evolution that must have skipped a brain or two in its path. First it was the big bang theory that set the entire religious world ablaze…, but nowadays nobody even doubts it now don’t they?? Or the fact that the world wasn’t flat but round?? Or the mere fact that nobody ever believed that we could fly and touch the sky?? And yet we did didn’t we?? And yet nobody is willing to accept a man that talks to a plant, because they cannot see what they are watching. Such a shame…,

Whether you are too cocky to give a damn, or the mere fact that you only believe in one thing… totally and utter annihilation as the mere answer to every single problem that you are facing. Because lets be honest huh? Why try to understand something when you can just try to destroy it and never look back?? Simplicity to the fullest is it not??? And then there’s of course the third option that just gets thrown to the wolves and runs around scared, incapable of knowing what is truly out there and just walk into the apocalypse that is waiting out there for you to strike. Just taking its time, because lets face it… destruction will come eventually…, you just need to realize it don’t you??

He smiles as he stretches his arms and stares at the scars and marks that his body has endured from many battles he has gone through in his wrestling career.

Do you only watch me being silly?? Hm?? For any action there’s a reaction isn’t there? For any decision that you make, there’s always the consequences that you need to endure isn’t there?? And by all means, behind this confident smile there could be a heart that is hurting. Suffering from everything you people have said about me, all because you wanted to watch me suffer… and yet, I will not allow you to succeed now will I?? Oh no, instead I will put on a smile… tell the world that happy thoughts will create a happy place. A place where we could all come together and be equals… only problems is that none of you are willing to share aren’t you?? And why is that??

Because you only watch and do not see, because if you saw what you were watching.. you would learn now wouldn’t you?? But oh why would I bother repeat myself over and over again, you won’t be able to see things the way I know you are watching me and allow your futile braincells run overtime over and over again. All because you do not wish to be my equal…., because if you did I am positive you would assume that you already lost huh??

And eventually there are only three names left of the five I originally started with, because two already were incapable of fulfilling the expectations that they either put themselves in or were put in by the powers that be… so that leaves you huh Jack?? Oh sure, I know that there are two more, but I just want to start with the one I saw as my biggest challenge… But I came, I saw and I have adapted Jack. Already you have sprung into the web that I have woven and all you are doing is flap your arms around as if you were a helpless fly, trying to escape and postpone the inevitable death at the tentacles of a waiting spider huh? Typical street thug mentality, typical for those who think that they have seen it all and never back down from a fight. Too bad for you that I will have to teach you that there’s more than just a fight that will stand in your way of reaching for the briefcase and become King… for a Day….

Already blinded by the fact that the only true thing that you are concerned about is looking past this all and become World champion. As if this is merely a waste of your fucking time isn’t it?? Already the billboards should be saying Jack Washington vs. the winner of Ben Jordan vs. Mark Cross… Because there is no doubt that the fighting chances of Jack Washington has exceeded beyond the full 100 percent haven’t they?? Oh of course they have…

He looks into the camera and shakes his head from left to right, signalling that he disagrees.

Vinnie: And why wouldn’t it be this way?? I mean seriously, who would be able to stop you?? Seriously not the Irish version of the three little pigs?? because pigs only manage to survive if they stick together in groups, but in this tale only one pig assumes to be the smartest…., but he has failed the test to build his home of stone that the big bad wolf could not blow down… But that’s for later isn’t it??

I don’t want to move away from you so quickly, because I just felt that we are finally connecting. Or should I say bonding??? And already I can see your brain telling you that I am indeed delusional, that I indeed do not know whether it is Monday or the Night that the bird flew across the coocoos nest. {And that will make you so confident that you forget the warnings that I have told all of you the last time you attempted to watch me, but were unable to see the true warning I have given you.

Such a shame.

But we cannot all have such a thug life like you huh???

He slowly drops his arms to his sides and leans his head backwards, moving it around in circles as if to loosen up his neck muscles before leaning his head backwards.

Vinnie: So what is next to say Jack?? Is there anything to say?? Or should I wait until I get an epiphany from my potted plant after I have given him water and manure?? See Jack? See how easily the world would look so much differently if you just paid more attention to see what you were truly should have been watching to begin with??? But you didn’t, did you? You were too eager to jump the gun right away and blow your chances to make things so much better between us. But I guess the hunger for the unknown has blinded you, to the point whereas I need to make the reality of Alice in Chains song Rooster become a reality… and sow your eyes shut…. Just be aware of what you ask for Jack…, even your lips didn’t ask for it…, your pathetic mind did…. And I am the one that will fulfil everything that you are too ignorant to achieve on your own….

Oh and Jack??? No need to thank me…, it’s a pleasure…

He smiles as he closes his eyes for a few moments, sinking in every word that he has uttered before aiming towards the next name.

Vinnie: Now going from Jack the highly decorated street thug to the voice over of B Movies Stephen Callaway. Now don’t get me wrong Stephen, it’s meant as a compliment. A compliment to hopefully allow you to see the light and walk away of the line of work that me have been doing for quite some time. Now I understand that these words may come across harsh, perhaps even disrespectful. But are they??? Because before you start to speak and utter the words that you have been doing this for quite some time… perhaps years… ask yourself…. A simple question??

If that were the case?? Then why now Stephen?? Why now has fate brought you to this momentous occasion where you could become KING?? Even if it was merely for a day.

Good question huh Stephen?? Why now?? Hm?? Why now?? Why has fate not given you this opportunity so much sooner?? And why has fate brought our destinies together in a ladder match?? Where bodies shall be broken, hopes and dreams shattered and being put on hold for another unknown amount of time? And all for the question why Stephen? Why??? Because as I have already have come to the conclusion is that you have no clue haven’t you??

Such a shame, because lets face it Stephen.. it’s best to either be right or be wrong instead of being clueless to begin with. Clueless to the point that you just wanted to stand on the side of the road and watch others self destruct?? And who knows, perhaps in a ladder match like this that would be the right decision to take. But not if you are unaware of what it is that is at stake Stephen?? You do know what is at stake don’t you??? The honour of being labelled KING for a day?? Now that was the easy part of the question huh?? But that’s the end result of is truly at stake…. The fact of survival… either you survive… or you will be broken, destroyed and maimed for life. But you knew that already didn’t you?? Or did you expect that after a week off after that you would be back to normal?? As if nothing has ever happened??? Now if that would have been the case, then we all would be as simple minded as you huh???

So instead of entering the realm of wrestling, why don’t you just stop?? Quit, retire and join the two whom already have gotten the clue and stayed home. Who have hidden and remained silent for another few weeks… because this isn’t a match for dreamers like you, it’s for the reality that apparently is only acquired by the man that is assumed to be deranged and whatever that would make me the weakest link?? Well just like Jack… you should have seen what you were watching… because I shall be King…. Of success…..

Vinnie stops chuckling and stares into the camera before snapping his fingers and Pete emerges, wearing an Irish green jacket and a green hat. Vinnie smiles as he remains quiet for a few moments as the camera zooms in on Pete.

Pete: …….

Vinnie remains silent and only nods his head in agreement to Pete’s ‘words’

Pete: ……

Vinnie’s face suddenly turns around and snaps his hand in front of Pete, silencing him as Vinnie’s face shows a sly smile.

Vinnie: Now you have to forgive Pete, he sometimes get excited as he starts to utter words of being confused. And I guess we could say the same thing for the spokesperson of O’Malley. A man that I know is obviously a challenge for anyone to fight him in that six sided circle. :But isn’t that what you are O’Malley?? A fighter? A man that wishes to destroy others in his path to success? Oh of course you are not…, but that’s what you wish to portray huh?? The silence, the evil stare that makes me wonder whether you have watched every episode of Pinky and the Brain?? Where you make me realize how tough you are, yet aren’t we all?? Hmm??

A man that comes out of the infamous wrestling school of SCW legend Gabriel and his wife, the school that has produced so  many great talents that have brought joy to the watchful eyes and hearts of the fans….  But that’s not what you are about aren’t you?? A one thought consumes you, a one thought that allows you to brutalize everyone that you see and yet you need someone else to do your talking???

Why is that amigo?? Why are you eluding our waiting ears to be wowed by your simple minded voice of yours?? Is it perhaps that it would make the mystique of your greatness become suddenly nullified?? Tell me oh great speechless voice of the great havens of Irish fighters… why are you hiding behind the opinionized voice of the voiceless?? You are just stuck in a web and have to sit through the words spoken for you, not being able to interfere even if you disagree? You know what that makes you don’t you?? A man without an opinion, a man without a brain, a man that should have lived in the eighties when manages would be the spotlight bearer for everyone!! Only for you to do the one thing that you enjoy the most don’t you?? To look tough, to act all hyped up and hoping that your mouth piece has done enough work to rattle up the boys.

Oh how classic, I was only hoping for a few eighties taunts like humanoid, or perhaps plebs and classic statements like that. Because I know that I should retaliate the words that someone else spoke off for you…. While that person would not even compete in that ring. hoping for a moment that a wrestler would challenge the mouth piece to a match?? Where as he would lose, that the mouthpiece needs to wear a suit of a weasel??

Vinnie shakes his head while chuckling sadistic

Vinnie: Now I would admit that this would make a nice Saturday morning cartoon episode of Scooby Doo or whatever classic cartoon that would be aired on Cartoon Network. But this is the fight where O’Malley will be staring into the eyes that stare back, that does not watch but those who sees who you truly are all about amigo. A silent man, a silent fighting machine that can do so much to keep your chances alive, that needs others to distract his opponents. While as the comparison that needs to be drawn when it comes down to me is very simple O’Malley. I am the distraction, I am the one that brings down the confusion that makes you wonder how? Why? When? And where?? Questions that are easily answered if you only could have seen what I have been doing….

I am the former SCW World Heavyweight champion, I have held that belt for over 100 days amigo…, something that your mouth piece has used as being a fluke reign??? How charming to see how someone’s silence becomes another person’s cluelessness. You see O’Malley, any way you wish to look at things or not…, I was the man that beat Fenris for the gold. I was the man that set his destiny in stone and brought it to life in that six sided ring. I was the man that made Austin James Mercer regret every single word that he uttered in his conflicted confidence that I would not be a challenge for him.

Are you going to make that same mistake?? Or are you hoping that your mouthpiece will overlook that error in his own ways and never mention it again?? Oh I am sure he won’t ignore what he has been watching all along, but like any other opponent out there int his match… he will not be able to see the reality that is staring back at you huh O’Malley?? I am the Mariachi of Wrestling, I know for a fact that this does not make any sense to you does it?? Of course it doesn’t. You only see faces, unable to pit the names underneath any face that you meet. One day it is Joe, the other it’s Jack. But this is one face that you will never forget the name of Jack… The name that belongs to the face of Senor Vinnie. The face of the Mariachi of Wrestling, the man that has the softest of touch in these fingers to play any instrument of his choosing. But inside that six sided ring, these hands and fingers are the tools of utter and complete destruction. The hands that do not let go once you are locked in the Rings of Mariachi….

Lucky for you that a submission hold like that does not automatically give me the win in this match, but it will make you see the light O’Malley. It will make the mouth piece regret the words he has spoken and be assured my amigo. I do not hold a grudge against those who simple do not know, to those who are too simple minded to onloy watch where they should have the ability to see.

Because one step at a time, I will climb the ladder of success. Once again, I will add another title to the future list of many success that will be waiting for my adoration to be upheld. Soon I will be the one that makes the card of all cards. Book the show that nobody has ever seen before or has ever hoped to see but was denied to get. You all speak of greed to wear that what I have already wore. You all speak of wanting to taste, what I have already tasted. Assuming that the thirst of the unknown bears a more bigger cross upon your careers than mine.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t O’Malley. But you will never know until you have looked into my eyes and have seen what others have been searching for their entire lives. And then you will know that it is unfortunate for you as well as any other in this match, that you are setting foot inside the six sided ring against the legend that is Senor Vinnie… The Mariachi of Wrestling and soon The King of Mariachi…, the King of wrestling. To be the very best of two worlds that only the GREATS can combine…. Something you have not even managed to do in merely one. A task that your mouth piece has put you into to deliver what you may not even have got what it takes to execute.. five other men in that ring… ladders and many other weapons all legal to be used O’Malley. And all you have to do is stare into these eyes and realize, you do not have what it takes to make it….

Such a shame…..

With that Vinnie gets up and walks off as the shot fades to darkness

 Dinner Time

We are at the hotel where all of the SCW superstars are located during the entire Corona situation, the camera crew are located at the restaurant. At one table we see Senor Vinnie and his friend Pete as they are eating, well Pete is still looking at his soup that is starting to get cold. Vinnie looks up from his plate and raises his eyebrow.

Vinnie: Unlike the rumors that some like to spread around Pete, but tomato soup is yuckie to eat served cold my amigo.

He stares at his friend as Pete hasn’t move an inch since he had spoken to him. Vinnie sighs as he takes his napkin to his mouth before snapping his fingers to call for a waiter. Finally a waiter comes towards him and holds enough distance from the two as Vinnie starts to talk to him.

Vinnie: Waiter, do you perhaps have some mineral water for my friend Pete???

The waiter looks at the cactus and scratches his head.

Waiter: The soup wasn’t good enough??

Vinnie shakes his head

Vinnie: No it’s not like that, Pete is lovesick, he misses his girlfriend as she is with the Barnharts.

The waiter looks at the cactus and then back at Vinnie as he is starting to think that the man is completely nuts

Waiter: His…. Uhm…, girlfriend???

Senor Vinnie looks at the waiter and stares at him with intensity.

Vinnie: Are you about to tell me that you do not know about Iris the British Bulldog?? The love of Pete’s life and the pet to Senor Bill and Senora Bea Barnhart???

Suddenly the waiter realises who Vinnie is and he nods his head understanding.

Waiter: I know who you are, I have been serving this old couple… well the man seemed like he was a hundred and this younger woman with a dog. They kept talking about this Pete and i wondered whether it was the Pitbull from down the road. But i guess it’s this…

He stares at Pete with amazement in his eyes.

Waiter: Pete….

Vinnie nods his head as he tells the waiter to get the glass of water so that Pete can drink away the bad taste in his mouth.

Vinnie: Finally a waiter that knows his way around this hotel restaurant Pete, pluse he is right. I mean seriously, Bill does look like an elderly person that needs his walking stick to keep him from falling down. He laughs as if he has hay fever. And to be honest?? I really cannot understand why i didnt ask him earlier to join me in my quest for immortality.

He scratches his chin as he suddenly looks at Pete as if he heard him say something.

Vinnie: Of course i need to await his answer to my proposition that i made last week, but surely he cannot refuse the temptation??

Pete: …..

Vinnie rolls his eyes to the stupendous answer from Pete.

Vinnie: To be my tag team partner you idiot, i mean seriously. For a cactus with the iq of 95,k you surely have an interesting way to see things Pete. But first i need to get rid of the new kid on the block.

Pete suddenly starts to hobble across the table, but stops when the waiter returns with the mineral water that Vinnie ordered for Pete earlier on.

Vinnie: No i didn’t say New Kids On The Block!! Don’t start with Mark Wahlbergs bigger brother Donnie!! He was clearly the nobody of the gang and we both know it!! No i was referring to El Dark.

Pete becomes quiet

Vinnie: Who?? El Dark, my hombre from Mexico. My opponent for this week, the one liner kid that mixes up things faster than any blender could and still has time to sound ridiculous at the same time. I guess you could say that he has the best and worst things a man could have combined to one pile of shit.

Pete: …..

Vinnie nods his head and becomes quiet for a moment or two.

Vinnie: I agree, i may sound harsh towards him. But hey, if I am not the one that tells him the truth through you, then who will? Nobody, i am here to show him the light and teach him a thing or two. I mean seriously??

El…, you don’t mind me calling you El right?? I meaan it’s obvious that Dark is your last name. So i prefer to just stick to first name basis if you don’t mind…, right??

Good.

He coughs a few times before grabbing his glass that is filled with orange juice and stares at it.

Vinnie: I know i could have ordered wine or champagne in this glass to show the world that i am sophisticated. I know, a big word that you have not gotten used to understand. But that’s okay, because as a former World champion in the annals of time of this company I know what pressure is all about amigo. And i can tell, you are the one that is really pressuring yourself to perform.. but why amigo??

Por que??

I tell you why, because until that moment comes that you have gained your first victory. You will be remembrered as a zero hit wonder, that’s right. And i can hear you ask, what is that?? That’s beneath the one hit wonder that many like to refer others to after winning their first match, their first title and so on… And that’s what I am.., unlike you I have garnered successes that i twill ultimately make you wonder why i am a one hit wonder???

Good question…, but the answer you won’t like amigo… because that one hit is the hit that I blast you across the head with before i knock you down fort he three count or the submission. Because that is what I do.. that’s what makes me who I am… The Mariachi of Wrestling, the man who to this very day the most respected underdog in the history of this company.. and you?? Well i guess like i already have said.. a zero hit wonder… It’s time for you to see the light and wake up.. you won’t beat me amgio…. You never will, because before your mind pulls the strings of a mere thought of a success, I will already cut the oxygen from underneath your brain and beat you.. it’s that simple amgio…

Until Sunday El…, until Sunday.

 The Pete Quest part one

Senor Vinnie can be seen in his hotel room, staring through the window to the outside as he is conversing with his friend Pete.

Senor Vinnie: I know Pete, you have told me that you want some Burrito’s, but sadly they do not make burrito’s in this hotel. Also, there’s no Taco Bell open at this moment and you know why that is no??

Pete:……

Vinnie sighs, he knows that Pete can be very stubborn. He has been this way since the whole situation escalated between him and the pet dog from Bill Barnhart Iris. Bill once again has a match with Senor Vinnie and if Vinnie loses he can no longer date Iris.

Pete: ……

Senor Vinnie: I KNOW!!! How many times do you have to repeat yourself?? It’s like I am living with an annoying parrot.

He puts his ands to his ears, trying to ignore the apparent verbal assault from is best friend. But for some reason he cannot as he runs towards the bedroom and walks back out with two pillows tied up to his head.

Senor Vinnie: Try saying something now pete!!!!

He screams towards his cactus as he waits in anticipation.

Pete; …..

Senor Vinnie: What do you mean someone is knocking on the door??? I did not hear anything?? Wait…, if I cannot ear that, then why do I hear you???

He takes off the pillows and he hears a soft knock, he sighs. Apparently Pete has got such a grip on him that even with all the protection to his ears that he can still master up a way to make Vinnie hear him.

Senor Vinnie: Who is it???

Voice: It’s me…, Willow. You asked for an in depth intervie. I….,

Vinnie sighs, he has forgotten about this. The stress of what Pete has putten on him the last few days has been unbearable. He shakes his head, takes a few deep breaths and then unlocks the door

Senor Vinnie: Wait a few moments Willow, I have to walk away from the door so we have enough space between us before you enter.

Willow: Okay

Vinnie walks over to the other side of the room and then sits down on the couch before sighing once more.

Senor Vinnie: You may enter Willow…,

The door opens, we see Pussy Willow enter the room as she stares at the former SCW heavyweight champion and notices something about him.

Willow: Vinnie?? You look tired, are you okay???

Vinnie sighs as he shakes his head.

Senor Vinnie: What can I say Willow?? I am on a rebound after losing my title. I have had several matches and only lost once. I was looking for something big to get myself back in contention and all that is left is him.

He points at Pete, who is jumping up and down on the table next to him.

Willow: Pete???

Senor Vinnie: He keeps me up all night screaming for Iris, during the day I cannot get behind my computer to skype with my wife thanks to him.

Willow: Because???

Vinnie looks baffled towards illow, clearly not believing that she does not know why Pete is so annoying lately. He stares at his friend and raise his hands in the air.

Senor Vinnie; Can you believe that Pete?? She does not know why you have been like this the entire week.

Pete suddenly stops jumping, turns his attention Willow and then starts to jump again viciously

Pete: ……

Senor Vinnie sighs as he turns his attention to Willow.

Senor Vinnie: You have done it now Willow

Willow: Uhm… okay??? What did I do now???

Senor Vinnie: He has told me that you shouldn’t parade your female looks around him seeing how he is missing Iris. It may distract him too much!!!

Willow: But…,

Senor Vinnie: And to be honest?? I have to admit that he is right, I mean I have to put my career on the line and you just come out and wiggle your curves around him?? Couldn’t you be a bit more sensitive for his feelings?

Willow’s face is clueless, her mouth is wide open without any sound coming out of it.

Senor Vinnie: You know that this is very rude not to respond when someone is telling you something wouldn’t you agree???

Willow realizes that she has to answer and gets really pissed.

Willow: You are a hypocrite Vinnie!! You asked me to come here for an interview and now you are telling me that…..

Senor Vinnie sighs

Senor Vinnie: That’s merely a point of view Willow. You could have still thought about his broken heart right?? I mean he has been like….. errr…..

He turns his attention to Pete.

Senor Vinnie: How many nights have it been already???

Pete: …..

Senor Vinnie: It’s already been six days!! And I know you must be thinking, what is six days to a lifetime?? But you have to realize that a few seconds seems like a lifetime to Pete. He has issues figuring out a clock on the wall. He thinks that sixty days has passed.

Willow: I…..

Senor Vinnie: NO!!! you need to listen!! I have been hearing him beg and moan for a snapshot of Iris, of him asking when Bill walks his dog so he could watch it on. www.ilovewatchingiris.com . And I have to tell him that this site does not exist!! Can you believe that??!!!

Willow: Wel…,

Senor Vinnie: Of course not!! You are just being hired to get some responses of some knucklehead that thinks he can win some match. But I am Senor Vinnie, the man that had the biggest night of his career on a boat!! I am the man that has been champion over 100 days and I am now being reverted to petting Pete every single night since Bill is a prick!!! Now how could this be fair??? Tell me!! I already beat Bill and now I get this??

Willow: I….

Senor Vinnie: No you listen to me Willow, you only speak when I ask you to.

Willow: But you asked me something. I….

Senor Vinnie: That’s besides the point!! It was just merely rhetorical, I assumed you being a n interviewer should at least know what that means right???

She is silent

Senor Vinnie: RIGHT???!!!

Willow: Oh you want me to an….

Senor Vinnie: Why are you talking!!!?? It’s me being the one that is losing his mind you know!!!

Willow gets up and walks off as Vinnie follows her to the door.

Senor Vinnie: Are you leaving?? Why are you leaving?? Are you leaving?? I…

Willow leaves the room and enters the elevator as Vinnie turns his attention to Pete.

Senor Vinnie: I can’t believe this, she just left. She is apparently very sensitive

Vinnie shakes his head as he closes the door as this causes the shot to end.

Commercial

The Pete Quest part 2

Senor Vinnie is in the bathroom as he is in the bathtub relaxing, his hair is draped across his face as his face is covered with water.

Senor Vinnie: Finally, no more Pete nagging me. It’s been such a hectic week and I….

Halfway the sentence we suddenly see Pete emerging from the bathtub as he is wearing a scooba gear. Vinnie’s eyes are almost bulging out of his head as he sees his friend emerge from the water.

Senor Vinnie: What the….

He wipes his eyes with his soaped hands before grabbing a towel and wipes it clean, he looks where he saw Pete and notices that he is nowhere to be seen.

Senor Vinnie: I am almost losing my mind…..

He notices the camera and his demeanor gets to be an angry one.

Senor Vinnie: And that’s YOUR fault Bill…, I mean seriously?? Who are you to make demands when you cannot even beat some punk ass 5000 year old graveyard robber. I mean seriously, he should not even be on this show and here he is…. He is almost as annoying as Pete. I already have beaten you, I have already secured the right for Pete to date your dog… for whatever reason why. I mean I was already happy that he was stalking Belinda Sione…, I was happy with him doing some fake calls to some bombshells and hung up on them as they apparently could not hear him. Can you imagine that???

But that’s besides the point, the main issue I have is you senor Bill…. You are some idiot that apparently has the capability just to remember the good things in life and take all the bad stuff and put them in a blender and somehow lie about anything. I am sure that you are unable to really understand what I am talking about, but who cares???

Nobody Perro…., that’s right. I call you perro, because that means dog and that’s what you are all about aren’t you?? I am sure that YOU even don’t know what you are all about… but you need to understand something Perro…. But you have to understand Bill, I am not fighting for me… I am fighting to free Pete and have him finally get to second base or whatever it was what he was telling me the other night when I attempted to ignore him. But it’s your fault that he is unhappy, it’s your fault that I have to fight a loser like you… and it’s your fault that after this next show you will realize that you suffer big time and that I will tell you is my pleasure….. so until next week….

With that the shot fades

 tiJanuary 1989
Tijuana, Mexico.

We see a young Vinnie sitting in a room, holding a trumpet in his hands as he looks up to his father while listening to him explain of how to play the trumpet.

Father: Now Vinnie, of course a leading Mariachi is either merely a singer or singer while playing guitar. But you have to learn every possible musical instrument as you need to grow into the lifestyle that is Mariachi.

Young Vinnie raises an eyebrow, the thought of lifestyle surprised him. He thought that he was getting one of the many musical lessons from his father, no history lesson.  His father notices the reaction and smiles

Father: Ahh Vinnie, I understand your confusion on what I had mentioned. But Mariachi is not just playing a trumpet or sing about love while playing a guitar and express emotions upon your face. Oh no Vinnie, it’s you becoming part of the song… believing every single word that you sing….. or in your case… every tune that you play.

Vinnie nods his head, he wanted to learn from his father as he looked up to him. His father had toured in every city in Mexico, even for the Mexican community in the United States. For him his father was a Rockstar like the artists that he had seen on television. Yet those artists were not real for some reason. He did enjoy listening to Santana play his guitar and sing with his amazing voice, but not even HE could match his father… or at least, that’s what he believed.

Father: Vinnie???

Vinnie: Huh?? Uhm…., yes???

His father smiles, he knew that Vinnie was a daydreamer. It was a reason why he choose to teach him first prior sending him to take musical lessons from a respected musical teacher. He places his hands on the shoulders of Vinnie before lowering them to his trumpet.

Father: Look Vinnie, this instrument is not just a device that you blow oxygen into to create sound when you push on these valves.

Vinnie: Valves???

His father smiles as he patiently places the fingers of his son on the valves, realizing that the buttons on the trumpet are named valves. He begins to blush of shyness as he felt that he should have known. But his father just smiles while brushing his hair.

Father: Now Vinnie, lets try to see if you can hit a Do on your trumpet.

Vinnie had been wanting to blow his lungs out on the musical instrument the entire time that he was holding it, even though he knew that blowing oxygen into the musical instrument would not be enough. He had to show control, balance as well as being focused upon blowing oxygen while pushing his fingers the right way to create the correct sound.

Vinnie: (whisper) Here goes…

He takes a deep breath, his lips are placed upon the mouth piece. He realizes that his mouth is dry, but tries to ignore the nervousness and blows while pushing on the valve that is closest to him  and a sound emerges.

Trumpet: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In his mind Vinnie believed that he had created a masterpiece, something that nobody has ever heard before and never will. He is focused upon his trumpet while blowing more and more oxygen into the music instrument while pushing onto the valves and more sound emerges from the end of the trumpet.

Trumpet: BWaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….. Weeeeeeeeeeee… WOOooooooooooooo …. Awwwwhhhhhh….. BWaaaaaa….thump

Vinnie’s eyes who had closed during his trumpet playing suddenly open up again and is in shock. He realizes that his father had placed his hand on the end of the trumpet as his eyes slowly turns towards his father. Who has a shock look on his face

Vinnie: Father???

There is no response from his father, Vinnie does not know how to take this sudden reaction from his father as well as the surprising look upon his face. But Vinnie’s confidence was racing as he realizes that his father had not yelled at him for being so terrible. So he believes in his own mind that he had shown his father that he is a New Lennon, McCartney, Santana as well   as he has aa  a voice that you could become  hypnotized , voices that have been a huge influence of todays music industry . And yet that never mattered to Vinnie… as to him there was only one that  he cared about.

Father: Err.., uhm Vinnie? I…

Vinnie: Tell me father, how impressed are you with my first attempt to greatness???

His father was struggling, he was contemplating whether he should tell him the truth. Or  the other hand, he can’t get it over his heart to  hurt his feelings.

Vinnie: Father??

His smile is heartbreaking, the happiness from Vinnie is oozing from his face. His father sighs as he figures that a small lie would not hurt him as he slowly starts to clap his hands

Father: I can honestly tell you that I have never heard anything like this Vinie.

His father feels a proud sensation coming over him, he was actually not lying to him. He just  wanted to come across as if this was something very positive when it is clearly the opposite. But that did not matter to him, he saw Vinnie gloat and jump out of his seat and runs around with the trumpet still in his hands.

Vinniie: Wooohooo!!! I have done it!!! I knew that you would recognize this classical song  father!! it’s from your favorite artist!!!

His father smiles while watching his son being so enthusiastic, not realizing when he suddenly stands still in front of him. Having a look on his face as he is awaiting the confirmation from his father.

Father: What

Vinnie chuckles

Vinnie: Aww come on father!! What song was I playing?? Only brilliant minds like us would  know!!

The shock comes over his father’s face as he realizes that Vinnie has put him in a predicament, believing that he had known what Vinnie was playing. But deep down inside he had no clue.

Father: Black Magic Woman from Santana??

Vinnie laughs as he shakes his head no while slapping his hand across his knee.

Vinnie: You are so funny!! I was obviously playing  Money For Nothing from the Dire Straits!!!

His father chuckles, relieved that he Vinnie did not know that he wasn’t aware and that he was just  having fun

Father: Yes, that was the one. I always get those confused…

The two share a laugh as the shot fades.

Senor Vinnie can be seen sitting with the trumpet, holding it in his hands while staring at it.

Senor Vinnie: I just happened to find this trumpet after cleaning my  attic and it brought back some great memories. And when you think about memories it makes you think back about how things were, how some people would even suggest that everything was better back then. But  is that always the case???

I know people would suggest that todays technology has surpassed that of the horror that we had to deal with back then. I mean let’s face it, no cell phones. No flat screens, computers were incapable of doing what todays devices are capable off. Better graphics, sounds and at least when you talk about a football….. you are able to see a football soar through the air instead of a simple dot on a black screen. And yet….

He sighs as he stares at the old and clearly broken down trumpet.

Senor Vinnie: Yet, you really have to wonder whether things are truly that much better than what we did or didn’t have. Because time changes and we have to adapt to what is presented to us and no matter whether how hard we try to improve things, we always find a reason to complain now don’t we??because in the minds of the masses, we want to have everything. But he irony is when you get what you want, you just sigh and toss whatever it is that what you wanted aside. As if it was nothing to begin with. And I could know…

His eyes travels down to the trumpet between is hands, smiling for the memories of how much he drove his poor father insane . Even though he would never dare to admit it.

He has a sly grin on his face as he remembers all the times that he drove his father crazy.

Senor Vinnie: Makes you wonder, would present day fathers have enough  patience to deal with their children. In the hope that they would achieve something if they just try long and hard enough?? Because kids these days  just sit on their lazy asses and play with their ipads or game consoles and never come outside.

And to a certain point I was just as spoiled like that, having the world title around my waist for over 100 days…. And I had failed…., even failed of reclaiming the prestige that I once had. And it made me realize….

He looks up from the trumpet and stares into the camera.

Senor Vinnie: It made me realize that I need to have patience, that I need to get back to what has brought me to the dance and made me a success….. And that was to bring me back to the past…. To the love that I believe that I had lost somehow

He places the trumpet to his mouth and blows a small tune through the trumpet, it sounds better than the memory of many years ago even though the trumpet had not been tuned in a long time. At least you could recognize the tune from the classic Dire Straits song until he stops playing and looks down on the trumpet.

Senor Vinnie: You always hammered me to play the best Do before starting to play a tune. A simple tune, or at least that’s what I thought I would master in a mere moment. Oh how was I wrong huh father???

Another smile appears on the face of Vinnie.

Senor Vinnie: But being wrong is often the only tool to be right eventually. Because we all learn from our mistakes now don’t we?? Well, not everyone I know. Alex is still desperate to this very day to make an impact upon this federation by hoping to win that championship belt at last. But who am I to tell him that he will not be able to beat our beloved champion Senor Ben??

Merely a former champion that failed as well to reclaim that honor… an honor that I once felt when I just merely learned to play a simple song on this trumpet. Oh how the joy was etched upon my face for over a week, maybe even longer. I was convinced that I could play Bohemian Rhapsody after learning  Happy Birthday. But that’s how anxiety works isn’t it?? Once you had that first taste of something that you want to  possess, it will be so difficult not to go too far and too fast.

I can tell that the man that I am facing this coming week is someone that is focused upon the job at hand. A man that respects his opposition, yet does not take them lightly. A student of the Game some would say…. Others would scratch behind their heads and ask themselves why he isn’t a world champion already??

And all I have to say to explain it all is that this man has patience, patience that I have not seen since my father’s desperate attempts to teach me to play this wonderful instrument.

Vinnie slowly starts to play a few tunes from the classic Pink Floyds Comfortbly Numb before stopping using the instrument and sighs.

Senor Vinnie: I admire that from you Griffin, besides the fact that you are a vivid music lover, something that have noticed many times before on social media. Gracing ourselves with the respectful words and musical clips from legends that has paved the way for music fans like you and me isn’t it?? It shows that you have class and dedication to those who you admire. And yet, when it comes down to compete inside the six sided ring…. you just slash through the competition like  Kirk Hammett would shred another legendary guitar solo on an even more classic Metallica song.  Showing a side that is so different than your apparent conflicted nature of being such a wonderful amigo…. And yet I admire that from you.

As we all wish to accomplish the same thing that you possess at this very moment, where people are either jealous of your capabilities to maintain a high level unlike the others… or simply just seeking for the right motivation to continue in such a high competitive nature…. And all I am seeing that people are just merely looking for an excuse to believe in something.

And what about me???

He grins

Senor Vinnie: Good question I must admit, am I searching for answers to questions that I have not asked myself?? If that’s the case then why am I searching for an answer when I have not even asked the  question. Questions are nothing more than merely a clueless notion that I just don’t know!!!

But I do know Griffin, I do know the answer to the question that I have et not asked myself…. Because I have been asking this my opponents every single time. What would it take for them to beat me???

Oh yes, I know this must be a revelation to those who are new to mindfucks that is psychology of the brain. What does it take for number one to beat number two??? Is it skill? Is it determination?? Is it luck?? Or merely the fact that at that given moment someone was better than the other? But I am not looking for the question that will be revealed upon Climax Control. I am looking for the confrontation with a champion that I have admired….

Does this mean I want to be in line for your championship???

Is it to me to determine my destiny??? Have I given up the hope of once again combat for my world title???

He grins as he repeaeas the words my world title in a soft whisper

Senor Vinnie: (whisper) My orld title…..

Of course I will not let my fate decided upon some  tarot cards or a crystal bowl . oh no…, I want to fight you mi amigo. I want to fight you and echo a tune inside your mind that you just want to get rid of….

You know what I am talking about don’t you Griffin?? Ever had that moment that you heard someone destroy a classic by making it her own? Like having to endure Lucie Silva’s cover of Nothing Else Matters?? Musically seen many spoke of an inspiring cover, while others would just say that it ruined the original done by Metallica. Causing the debate of originality move between the minds of the many, where it would forget that of the few isn’t it???

Do I need your imput upon the situation Griff?? Do I need to hear your opinion whether you agree that I prefer the original or not?? Oh no, I need to hear the words that you echo into the void every single time that you speak about your opposition and turn up the intensity. Having me hear the words, listen to what you truly are saying between the lines of the battlefield of our conversation that is separated by nothing more than a mere thin tv screen.

Vinnie nods his ist against the camera screen in front of him and grins.

Senor Vinnie: I need to hear between the lines why you feel that you are better than me, that you are confident of beating me inside that six sided ring…. I need to know before I will whistle a tune of legendary proportions that my father would tell me that it was something he had never heard before.

And this time it isn’t because it was dreadful, but merely because I want to let you know that I believe that I can beat you…. Merely have you attempt to read between the lines, in the hopes of have you hear the words of Stairway to Heaven instead of dreading  of listening to a dance version of Total Eclipse of the Heart… Even though I am taking a risk of guessing your taste, even though I realize that there’s nothing wrong to take a risk on something that I already know isn’t it??

Its often the words that bore me, the words that people tell me over and over again that they are merely better. Better because they can fly the sky better than me, or because they have won more world titles across the world than I have fingers. Ironic isn’t it that these people use these statements to talk confidence and believe in themselves so that they would propel them to greater heights??? While I prefer to keep my own two feet down to earth… well that besides a conversation every now and then with a cacti.

But I know I have said enough Griff…., the words need to be spoken in a song and a solo between the two of us… Let us jam, let us groove that it would entertain the world…. And then, lets see who will strike first…..

Adios amigo… adios..

 How delusional can you be?? Part One.

The Cactus and the Dog

We are in a classroom, Bill Barnhart is seated in a pink suit and matching tie. Looking through some papers while Iris is sniffling around the classroom in search for something to eat. On the outside we see Vinnie and his wife Valora argue while he has Pete in a baby pack in front of him.

Señor Vinnie: Come on sweetheart, I mean seriously?? Why do I let you talk me into this?? This is insane!!!

He continues to plead on the outside of the classroom as Bill suddenly looks upwards and notices the bickering couple.

Bill Barnhart: Well isn't that nice Iris?? They are on time!!!

Iris barks happily ass he runs off towards the door and starts to yelp happily for the three to come in. Causing Bill to walk over towards the door and open it.

Valor's: ..... And you need to understand that this could be Pete's shot to happiness Vin, he was always supportive about you and me!

Señor Vinnie: But...,

Bill: Welcome folks!! And how are you doing Pete???

Bill looks at the cactus and is waiting for an answer before looking up to Vinnie.

Bill: Is he always this quiet around new people??

Señor Vinnie looks at Pete before turning his attention back to Bill.

Señor Vinnie: Uhm, Pete said you.

Bill scratches his head as he stares at Pete before turning towards Vinnie.

Bill He did??? Hmm, I guess the audio book of flora and fauna was just a cheap rip off from Ebay. The salesperson told me that it was success guaranteed. Oh well, come on in.

Vinnie and Valora walk in as they sit down behind the desks in front of Bill's, Vinnie places Pete down in front of him as he turns his attention to the happily jumping Iris.

Señor Vinnie: Señor Bill, your dog did pee or poop right??

Bill looks up at Iris before looking back at the piece of paper with questions and puts on some glasses and grabs a number 4 pencil.

Bill: Iris?? Oh she has done her thing thirty minutes ago....

Vinnie sighs of relief.

Bill: But she is lactose intolerant and she did eat a piece of pizza with cheese toppings on top of it.

Vinnie's eyes bulges out big time before turning his attention back to Iris.

Señor Vinnie: But..., but...,

Bill: But don't worry, she usually can keep it up for an hour or two, we will be done long before that.

Suddenly Iris lets out a fart and looks puzzled around, wondering where it came from.

Valora: Maybe we should rush this.

Bill nods as he puts the paper down in front of him and looks at Pete before turning his attention back to Vinnie.

Bill: I need to ask Pete a few questions and I want you to tell me what he answers, then with the answers I can measure out why Pete and Iris are behaving like this.

Vinnie scratches his head.

Señor Vinnie: Could it perhaps be that your dog is in heat???

Valora punches him in the shoulder angrily

Señor Vinnie: Ouch!! Why did you do that???

Valora looks at him angrily before Bill chuckles.

Bill: Nah, Iris is fixed. So that cannot be the problem, no I think the problem is solely Pete. So here comes question number one: Pete, do you use Vinnie's shaving cream?

Vinnie's eyes grow wide.

Senor Vinnie: What???!!

Bill looks up at Vinnie.

Bill: Is that his answer??

Senor Vinnie: No that's me asking what the hell is wrong with you?? It's a cactus... I...

he looks at Pete with a questioning look on his face.

Bill: Did he say something??

Senor Vinnie: He just told me that he has used my after shave once.

Bill nods his head.

Bill: What brand?? Axe?? Hugo Boss?? Calvin Klein??

Vinnie raises an eyebrow, but his attention is being directed to Pete once more.

Senor Vinnie: You were the one that used my Calvin Klein??? I thought it was Pepé!!!

Bill: Pepé???

Valora: His nephew, I think he needs an apologie Vin

Vinnie scratches his head, but Bill already starts to ask another question.

Bill: Does Pete watch TLC??

Senor Vinnie: Tables, Ladders and Chairs???

Valora rolls her eyes as she clearly sees how clueless Vinnie is

Valora: He means the television channel solely for women.

Pete gives Vinnie another answer to Bill's question.

Vinnie: Apparently Pete likes the show where newly weds are looking for the perfect wedding dress.

Valora: Oh nice, maybe we can watch it together next time Pete.

Vinnie stares at Valora, unable to respond to her reaction as so much is going on inside his head.

Bill: Question number three: Pete, how much is three plus three??

Vinnie stares at Pete, who apparently has not reacted to Bill's question yet.

Bill: Uhm, did he not understand the question Vin???

Vinnie raises his head and motions to Bill to be patient.

Senor Vinnie: Pete never went to school, he had to take care of his mother at an early age due to the fact that his father suddenly was transported to Canada. He had to dance at some cheap ass clubs at night for little to no tips. You have to understand that those crowds are not easy to be entertained. I...

Vinnie looks at Pete and rolls his eyes.

Senor Vinnie: You have to know that three plus three makes six Pete... not seven. I...

Pete reacts to Vinnie's answer as Pete puts his hands across the ears of Bill, who reacts by pulling them away from him.

Bill: What?? What did he say??

Senor Vinnie: Perdoname senor Bill, but Pete just explained that he often got seven dollars for three dances in thirty minutes.

Bill scratches his head, but shrugs his shoulders and continues

Bill: Do you prefer redheads or dark haired women??

Valora: Interesting question

Pete senses that all of the eyes are now fixated upon him, including that of Iris for some reason. Pete's pot starts to shake as apparently he feels that he is put under pressure. But after a few moments the shaking has stopped and Vinnie senses that Pete is proud of his answer.

Senor Vinnie: Pete prefers Latina's

Valora: Obviously

Senor Vinnie: As I was trying to say is that he likes Latina's, he likes Swedish girls who usually are blondes. He likes dark haired women as well as red heads.

Bill: Hmmm..., interesting

Senor Vinnie nods his head in agreement

Senor Vinnie: Si, Pete at first was afraid of them. But after watching an episode of Southpark, where he had learned that gingers have no souls he started to like them.

Both Bill and Valora look at Vinnie with a questionable look on their faces as he seems to be very proud of his friend.

Senor Vinnie: What?

Bill is writing down something on the piece of paper and then grabs Iris from the floor, the dog stares at the cactus and remembers what had happened at the last Climax Control that they were part off. Starting to growl at first towards Pete, who staggrs backwards a few inches.

Bill: Easy Iris, this is very important.So make daddy proud and sit

The dog turns her attention to Bill for a few moments before turning her head back to Pete and sits down reluctantly.

Iris: Bark!!

Bill studies the dog and the plant and turns his attention to the piece of paper every now and then as he writes things down before studying them once more. He even lifts the left ear of Iris and looks down the ear before turning his attention to Pete.

Bill: The cacti has got no ears.... hmm interesting

Vinnie raises an eyebrow after hearing the comment from Bill.

Senor Vinnie: Ever seen one with ears???

Bill: No, but I was curious how Pete hears things as I was searching for something that could resemble ears.

Vinnie wants to say something, but turns his attention back to the plant.

Senor Vinnie: Pete says that his spines catches solar signals that causes him to hear but also see apparently.

Bill nods his head and writes it down on the paper as if it he was used to get ordinary answers like this.

Bill: Interesting..., how does he Skype with you???

Senor Vinnie: He tells Siri on his I phone to start the app

Bill: But how does he communicae with the smart phone??

Senor Vinnie: Uhm.., you know... just by talking???

Bill takes of his glasses and stares at Vinnie.

Bill: Look Vinnie, you hear him talk. Maybe your lovely wife hears whatever it is that your plant is saying. But us normal human beings usually are unable to hear what a plant is saying.

Vinnie's face is shocked, as if he had heard something that came absolutley as a shock to him. He suddenly grabs Pete from the desk and hoists it high in front of his face.

Senor Vinnie: Pete??? Is this true?? Are me and Valora the only ones that can actually hear you???

Valora: With all due respect Vin? I have always pretended that I could hear him....

Vinnie's eyes grow even bigger as he hears the response from his wife before realizing what Pete had said.

Senor Vinnie: I am sure that us being Mexican isn't the only reason why they cannot hear you Pete.

Vinnie stares at his plant with intensity, anticipating the answer from the plant when suddenly Iris gets up and starts to lick the hand of Vinnie as this startled him and drops the cactus.

Senor Vinnie: YUCK!!!!

Bill: Oh she likes you Vinnie boy!! You know what this means???

Senor Vinnie: That I need to wash my hand???!!

Bill starts to laugh as he shakes his head

Bill: No, I just mean that from now on you are uncle Vinnie to her. This means that every time she sees you that she will greet you by jumping up your leg.

This is clearly not the answer that Vinnie was looking for, sighing att he prospect of being humped by Bill's dog every opportunity that it would get. But he shakes off the idea and turns his attention back to Bill.

Senor Vinnie: So what are your thoughts of this all Senor Bill??

Bill studies the papers one more time and then places the glasses down on the desk and turns his attention to Vinnie.

Bill: Well it's rather easy to be honest, everything leads to the fact that Pete has got the hots for Iris and.... Iris likes him too.

Vinnie's jaw drops as he is quiet for a few moments. Valora's concern on her face causes her to start to poke him in the ribs.

Valora: Vin?? Vin???

She realizes that Vinnie is in utter shock so she turns her attention to Bill.

Valora: How do you come to this very odd conclusion Bill???

Bill: Well it's quite Valora, all the questions point out that he has a sensitive side to him. But mostly because I had seen Iris pee on his pot a few shows ago. Usually she doesn't do that with a cacus like this specimen, due to the sharp spines that often stung her up in the butt.

Iris: Ruff!!!

Bill grins as he pets his dog on the head.

Bill: That's right Iris, you like Pete don't you??

Iris: RUff!!!

Valora stares at her husband, who has not moved an inch since the revelation of the apparent romance between the dog and his plant.

Valora: So what are we going to do next???

Bill: Well I am sure that you are aware that if this is true love, then there's nothing that you can do stop these two lovebirds from seeing each other.

Valora looks at Iris, who has started to crawl over towards him and starts to sniff at it. This causes her to smile and realizes that even though it is very odd, that it was a beautiful thing.

Valora: You like her too don't you Pete???

She was studying the plant and can't believe her eyes as she suddenly sees it wobble in his pot. Realizing that he is trying to give her an answer to her question.

Senor Vinnie: He said... yes...

Vinnie has awoken from his shock as he stares at his plant and a sly smile emerges upon his face

Bill: Well that's agreed upon!! From now on we just have to arrange that we are going to share flights, share hotels and have locker rooms next to each other. I mean, we need to give love a helping hand now don't we??

Vinnie can be seen shaking his head slowly, unable to say anything to the question of Bill. Causing the veteran to grab his dog and then reaches out to Pete and holds them close to them.

Bill: Welcome to the... ouch!! family Pete... ouch!!! You need to comb those spines son!!!

With that Bill walks off with the dog and the plant as Valora kisses Vinnie on the cheek before joining Bill. Realizing that she needs to keep an eye upon Pete and Iris while giving Vinnie an opportunity to accept what has happened as the shot fades.
 
How delusional can you be?? Part Two.

We can see Senor Vinnie sitting in the same class room that he and Bill were participating in a rather unusual situation between Pete the Cactus and Iris the Bulldog. But of course this isn't the time and place to go into detail once more.

Senor Vinnie: I cannot believe this... Pete??? Iris???

Just a small recap of what you could have been witnessing if you had paid attention, which we are all assuming you did. So time to move on as Vinnie notices the camera crew and sighs

Senor Vinnie: Can't there be a moment of silence for once?? I know I am obligated as El Campione to do tell the world how I felt about my opponents... Well at least four of them, apparently number five was missing in his own hotel room or something. And I had an appointment with you guys at three PM... Not...,

The cameraman points towards the clock above his head as Vinnie looks up and sees that it is already five minutes past three in the afternoon. Causing him to sigh before turning his attention back to them.

Senor Vinnie: Like I was about to say, you are late. But that's okay, I guess I have to just put on a happy smile and put a warm feeling inside everyone's guts that are just desperate to survive Christmas. Because there are those who don't like the holidays, who don't have the loved ones that people like me have. And I have vowed to do something to change those negative feelings about the holidays as I will prove to these people that negativity is just a thorn in your side, just like a few of my opponents have already shown this past week.

Now I understand, I truly do that when you have the gold around your sexy waist. That you have a bullseye upon your chest, or in my case perhaps a Pinata. And apparently some people don't like me, apparently some people are delusional and even some are just downright stupid.

Vinnie shakes his head as he sits down on the chair that Bill sat on earlier the day, he places his boots on the desk in front of him and relaxes while putting his hands behind his head.

Senor Vinnie: And I have got so much to say, like for instance Ben Jordan. A man that is well respected, a man that apparently needs a self proclaimed camera crew to follow him the entire year as a documentary or something?? A man that to this very day sees him as a better champion, but never worn the title. Maybe he is just rejuvinated over the fact that every other superstar in or not in this match is praising him to the heavens.... So did I if you go back and read between the lines, but I remained realistic. Then there's Austin.... such a shame, truly a shame that I cannot believe that I was actually right. He has been infected by the Alex Jones personification of if neither of us can beat Vinnie... then we better join forces, something like that... And then we have Caleb... good ol Caleb... I truly admire you amigo... And then we have the reality check of Fenris... At least he tells the world the same thing over and over again and does not follow others or whatever.

Vinnie is clearly annoyed over the things that the others have said about him that he has taken out a pen and a piece of paper out of the desk and has placed his feet back on the ground.

Senor Vinnie: Austin James Mercer...., what happened to you amigo?? Did the fact of you not getting back on track until recent few weeks truly bothered you?? I mean seriously, I have been listening to your words of delusions and I wrote a few things down that seems like interesting facts.

He writes a few things down before placing the pen down next to the piece of paper and holds the paper in front of him to read.

Senor Vinnie: Numbero Uno..., that's Spanish for Number One. But a well diversed and respected individual like you should have already guessed that... But I will not go too deep into things like that... Like the assumption that I am a lucky trio member. Now isn't this cute?? I am lucky, Well yes I am luckily married, luckily to have an amigo like Pete. I am overjoyed that I am the defending champion in a match like this... but needing luck to have this belt is a bit premature isn't it Austin? Or is this just your egotistical way of pretending to be a psychiatrist?? I mean seriously Austin..., you make references that I didn't actually beat Alex..., that I faced Ty West who wasn't into this match at all and wanted to quit, that I needed a stipulation of weapons to keep my title??? Now I am not going to argue over the fact that you can have an opinion about anyone or anything. But please..., keep the facts alive as you are just like your promo is indicating... Merely half assing the true facts in life amigo.

But luckily for you, this lucky champion has got the other side of the facts that you have seemingly forgotten or just didn't have enough space to save on your harddrive up there.

He points at his head and chuckles

Senor Vinnie: Numbero Uno..., Alex Young did something that YOU would alledgedgly would never do isn't it Austin?? But with your new ego turn that you have announced in your promo makes me wonder if Alex has perhaps rubbed off too much of his stupidity over you.... Time will only tell. But you see Austin, when you turn a wrestler the first rule that you learn when the referee walks into your locker room?? Always respect the official, never put your hands on one or you get disqualified. Now I am sure that if a man of my stature would have done that, you would have persecuted me as the filth of the world that I am right?? Yet, apparently Alex gets a free pass on doing whatever it is that would secure him a victory... Like a cactus Austin???

Vinnie winks to the camera as he refers to the first ever confrontation between Alex and Vinnie where Alex used the cactus on Vinnie.

Senor Vinnie: Then the usage of weapons, oh dear Austin... Action asks for Reaction... Karma is a B#### Austin... Alex could not hold the champion down, just like YOU could not when I made you tap out to my submission hold Austin?? Is this is how we are going to remind you off?? Half assing everything because you are 6'6 and 265 pounds of muscle and clearly only a peanut sized brain that is working overtime??

You talk about Ty West?? Funny, didn't Ty beat your ass after becoming my number one contender?? Sure sounded like you were half assing a match against a quitter. Or were you just waiting for the moment to come that a tournament could appal you back into contention for MY BELT?? Sure sounded your promise to earn another shot to my belt by dominating every superstar has fallen to the wayside isn't it Austin?? Or were you just following my tag team matches that I lost?? Hm???

And isn't it funny Austin that you just talk about half assing my title reign?? I have been on more matches since being champion than you have been as champ. 154 days as champ and only five defences?? I will be at 112 at December 2 Dismember going for title defence number 4. I guess you need to check your math also before opening your mouth and tell the world that one plus one is Thomas Jefferson Sucka!!!

He shakes his head and puts the piece of paper down.

Senor Vinnie: I just gave you an example of what I am all about Austin, yeah I love to entertain. Because that's what these people want!! To be entertained while spending hard earned money and not listening to a 6'6 idiot with a savior complex that makes him believe he is God or something. You got to lighten up amigo..., but we all finally heard the news that Austin can't stand humor. Austin can't stand it that he has lost his mojo after losing the title.... I guess you did lose too much sleep since waking up on August 26 huh Austin?? You know something? I still admire you for accomplishing so much in such a short time with an IQ of sub zero. I mean seriously Austin?? And I quote... He is a trashbag wresler and he is not one of us???

Not one of us???

He let the words sink in before shaking his head in disbelief.

Senor Vinnie: I know what you are saying Austin, but your stupidity makes you sound like I need to travel in the back of the bus... Like many in the past had to endure as others believed that THEY were lesser than them? Learn before you speak and stick with what you are good at son, because you being the good guy was your thing and you were good at. But since you felt threatened by an unlikely challenger back in August...  you have never been the same again. At least I stick with what I am good at, at least I know what this company and the fans need... You are just stuck with kissing babies, eating vitamins and say your prayers that we used to do in the 80's. You are just a sad excuse of a man I used to respect.. But coming December 2 Dismember... I will have no qualms of beating your ass and use the entire cage as a weapon to destroy you. I'm sure that this is the next excuse YOU will be uttereing when you fail once more... Because you are too worried about not having me walk out as champion... that you aren't even focused upon your own chances. Hell, you say you do.... but on social media seeking approval from Ben Jordan and Fenris makes me sick... What was it again?? Oh yes, everybody would make a better champion than @ElGrandeVinnie... or that Ben Jordan would be a good champion.

You are just clueless, you are just lost in your own ways and not sure whether accepting the dark side that makes Alex Jones who he truly is... a man that is hiding in the darkness, hoping that he can convince the owners to walk out to the ring once more in the hope he can go face to face with the champ.

I defend this title with pride, every match I am is main event status. I am on every fucking show, while you just have to give milk to puppy wolf Alex. I am the champion that I want to be, that excites the crowd and whatever a former champion thinks of me that is clearly depressed over his own life doesn't bother me Alex. I am ready..., I am going to defend this title and walk out still champion... Just like I did on social media... congratulating everyone who has advanced in this match and that includes you. Where I got a like from the former champ, I guess you were just simply drunk in your own sorrow and hated yourself for doing that huh?? Why don't you just go and tell yourself over and over and over again that I am not one of US.... And I will just have to prove to you and everyone else... that US doesn't belong to be mentioned in the same sentence as ME!!! I guess I have already said enough about Alex, on to Ben....

Now I must admit, with age and experience comes wisdom. Something I have to grant you that Ben, words of wisdom have been spoken. But I've learned throughout the entire year and half that I have been in this company, that words are just hot air with sound that vaporates into the thin air after uttering them into void that is what surrounds me. The void Ben..., the same essence spot where I have yet got to see you emerge from as a successor like I have been as of late. Yet...., respect is necessary to be granted before I splash your futile misunderstanding all in front of your plate of literal breakfast.

Vinnie grins before shaking his head,

Senor Vinnie: I know that being in a small educational room like this would soil your pants Ben, as you are the walking guide to education. A sort of National Geographic, that teaches the weaklings about what has been, or what could have been if we would have done things differently. An explanation that made me realize how suitable would have fitted you mi amigo, I just never saw it before our.... let's say.... promo appointment that we shared with each other. I felt as if we connected with each other... and no Ben, I could not say that we had this click between us like you have had with those weaker minded fools.

You see Ben, you are like the National Geographic educational channel, educating the weaker minds that have fled their educational ducties to become nothing more than a cassiere in a fast food restaurant... but at least that beats being a fool isn't it Ben??? And then there's the man that forces his perfect aura upon the fools out there so they could look up to someone and have HOPE. Hope into thinking one day that they could upgrade their miserable life to a mere hamburger cook, standing over the grill and not realize that you just pulled them into your lies huh Ben??

Vinnie grabs a pen and stares at it, turning it around as he sees a red spot on the tip of the pen as he focueses on it.

Senor Vinnie: Why do you always seek the need to meddle in the lives of others Ben?? Or is it the fact that you cannot say no??? No to Lord Raab, no to Samuel McPherson whose interesting love life made such a profound eye opener for you to bring in your entire ensemble of Ben's reality soap?? Was it merely to guide Raab to like and understand women?? Or was it to keep yourself as relevant as you realize that tide is slowly changing and you were just merely an eighties example of the one dimensional good guy??

One dimensional, now don't get me wrong Ben. That isn't a bad thing to critique you with, so please don't feel upset that I don't see you further than merely an attention seeking has been. A has been that needed to patiently create your web and choke the oxygen out of the bodies of those who feel bad that to this very day that you have yet to wear a world title??? I must admit at first I had this feeling that you were only seeking sympathy, but now?? Now I finally realize that you are merely a parasite, that sucks out the life force from your victims by attempting to be a "friend"

An older friend, a friend that has been wise to educate them to not make the same mistakes that you have made. Even though in the case of Austin and Fenris there is a simple difference isn't there Ben?? And what could that be?? Oh maybe something small like the fact that they succeeded where you have yet to sink your teeth into??

Vinnie pretends to sink his teeth into a pretended piece of meat as if he was eating.

Senor Vinnie: Oh no..., suddenly the wise Ben Jordan interferes in the life of Kris, as if he needs a father figure hmm?? Tell me Ben, was it the fact that he loves to drink?? Or perhaps the fact that he needs to tone down his insults?? Or perhaps cut his hair?? Or even maybe force him to wear boots.....

I wonder Ben, are you in the attempt of making Fenris a second Ben?? IN the hope to she the bad luck that has been a trail throughout your entire career?? And please, please do not attempt to say no without hesitation. Because it would only cause the weakened minds that have upgraded their brains to cause their first sensation of a thought. A thought of doubt of why a man that is so wholesome to suddenly go weak and deny everything that I have ever said?? Words that are only assumptions that causes me to amuse myself to your existence my amigo.

A man that teaches, educates those who are jus simple minded fools. Easily distracted by others. Those who clearly cannot stand on their own, who cannot have their own ideals as yours are flawless huh Ben?? And yet, why Ben?? Why?? Why does a flawless man like you need to resort to reaching out to those who have succeeded in the past?? Men that have moved on, something that I am urging you to do as well as your contract ends at December 31st of this year. Because if that's one of your key ingredients to grasp your hope upon, then I have to warn you that it's already the first mistake that you have made.... probably for the millionth time???
Vinnie places the pen down on the table stares towards the camera once more.

Senor Vinnie: A wise man like you must understand that the Results achieved in the past offer no guarantee for the future. Successes that were created by the desire, the will power of those who could combine that with their talents to become the champions that they ultimately became!! And that's where you are limiting yourself in the hope and desire to achieve their successes Ben. I guess that's what a parasite does isn't it?? Adapting to the habitat that it evades itself in without even asking whether the host desires to share its life with you, why would you?? You are too blinded with your own greed that all is allowed until you achieve what you truly desire.

He smiles, he puts his hands together for a real slow clap for a few moments before keeping their hands together as he moves his head from left to right.

Senor Vinnie: It was truly a moment of goosebumps when you uttered the names of all the greats that once held the same championship belt that Austin and Kris have held... the same title that is currently in my grasp. And even though I enjoy feeling goosebumps for a few moments, it did leave a foul taste in my mouth. Realizing that their reigns were great..., yet all of them have one thing in common. In the end..., it ended with another title reign. Something like I have already pointed out in my first promo is something that is on my mind every single day. Funny isn't that huh Ben?? I am sure that you see that as a weakness, taking lessons from their reigns. And yet..., I have not lost my grip around the one belt that has eluded your impressive career. Why don't you seek refuge in the fact that you have done so much more than others that never had YOUR opportunities that were handed to you on a silver platter... at least, that's what you are assuming isn't it?? No Ben..., where you have taking refuge in the past, refuge into sinking your teeth in the skins of those who are too kind to tell you no.... I sink my teeth into the fact that I refuse to give in, the fact that I have two things on my mind in every single war that I have entered in since Austin James Mercer mistake to underestimate me... And by the looks of it, it seems that your "wise lessons" have not even made any impact on that fool. I guess at least you have a chance to have him to make that same mistake around you as well.... I guess imitation still is the biggest form of flattery... too bad I am not interested to teach you the ways of the Mariachi of Wrestling.

Did you watch my match against Austin?? My matches with Alex?? Even Ty?? Even though I am aware that your clouded mind will not admit the fact it was a great match due to personal feelings about a certain person. Already another mistake that may very well give away that to this very day you aren't suitable fit to wear this championship. But hey, at least I am not basing facts on a mere opinion. Something that neither of the.... How did Austin put it?? Oh yes..., the lucky three. How ironic that none of you have had any of luck lately..... but again..., that's my opinion.

He slowly opens his hands and slowly drops them next to him

Senor Vinnie: Already I have seen cracks in your seemingly "Perfect" plan to slide your way into the hearts of the fans once again, promising them promises that to this very day have not been able to make them come true. Hell, you even caused two men to clap their hands in your own miserable dreams when you finally succeed. Remember Ben.., dreams are nothing more than hopeful thoughts to give your miserable life hope.... So what will you do when I walk away with that title Ben?? Because with my objective view upon this match, what apparently I am the only one that has that clear mindset compared to two delusional idiots, one Icelandic warrior that I want to beat. A young upset that could steal the show if you don't pay attention. And then the mute that does not even deserve my attention. You have already lost your chances to redeem your opportunity, you already lost your clear mind and after this match... The fans will applaud you, chant Thank you Ben.... or You still got it!! Hopeful to make that decision for you to stay one more year easier while it is the complete opposite isn't it?? Because after you walk away,k the fans will turn their attention to those who are left. And guess what Ben...., I am the one that sets the fans on fire, the large amounts of Cactus shirts sold already since his return is blowing up the webshop of Sin City Wrestling every single day. You already have lost the fans to me as well, as I am what you want to become.... Too bad I won't let you Ben... With that you have already failed to survive an elimination type match before even entering the Six Pack Challenge at December 2 Dismember...

And then there is you Kris..., now I already have you been thinking. What about the others?? Caleb and Lachlan?? Are you already ignoring them?? Of course not Kris..., but this has been about us all along hasn't it? Interesting to have seen that you have referred to the past successes that you have had against me... Yet you failed to acknowledge the fact that I have changed so much.... Or were these just simply assumptions that you were going to save for this coming week? To boil over your talented foul mouth, combined with the alcohol that you Icelandic vikings were known for to drown themselves into without it ever effecting you?? Oh yes, perhaps I should allow the mute and the talent to have their acknowledgement before I save the best for last.

He sits up straight and looks as if he is finally interested to talk about his opponent(s) compared to Ben and Austin.

Senor Vinnie: And what is it that you want me to refer them to Kris?? That one is trying to beg hims uelf into you getting bored of him?? And the other we already have forgotten what his facial expression is when he takes a dump. Obviously that is rather entertaining and it would last longer than a combined promo of either of them combined. But that's not why I am here Kris....

I am here for you..., i am here to shake my head in disbelief over the whole FF'in screwjob that you just put out there last week. With only question roaming my mind

Vinnie raises his eyebrow towards the camera as if he is really not sure what to think of his opponent.

Senor Vinnie: You see, it's always nice to make fun of those who I feel are just there to fill my time and enjoy my rants off. But you Kris?? YOU!!! You were meant for so much more, so much intensity that I have been dying to get face to face with in how long?? OVER A FREAKING YEAR!!! And yes, of course there was that tag team match. But both of us know that the tag team match does not really count now does it?? Neither of us gained or lost anything as we were not even concluded in the decision in the end. But no Kris..., there is something brewing between us... Is it hate?? Is it jealousy?? Maybe from my part as the world is so keen on having me slip over words and make mistake!! Causing the beard headed wolfie to jump to a conclusion and forget that he had to shave his eye sockets before getting poked in the face with a toothbrush Now i know that it does not make sense, but another title reign of Austin Jones Mercer is as laughable as CD-I was back in the day before we knew anything of what came after. But no Kris..., you just had to recite a historical tale where I had finally seen the essence of it all amigo... You have lost the desire to compete, you feel obligated to enter that ring to please Ben..., to get the Spanking going one more time for Caleb and have Austin look across the ring and nod his head in approval. Tell me Kris, do you have any time left for yourself these days!!! Or is that also taken by the bottle of whatever alcoholic beverage that you could get your hands on and swallow it down in a whole? I've heard that Baileys nicely match the color of your eyes and hair before I stomp a hole inside your stinking face.

No Kris, I can live with Austin citing how a perfect champion should behave, how he should dress himself or even wipe his ass off for that matter. I can live with the rhetorical statements of one Ben Jordan, who to this very day is wondering what a true world champion is all about and seeks refuge with those who has done it before him. Not some kid that thinks that he is an upset artist, because in his defence.. It sure beats a crappy tweet from a guy who I can't remember his fucking name anymore!! And lets not forget the guy who enjoys the silence huh?? No Kris.., I can live with that all, because in the end of the day. All that matters is me redeeming my faults, my mistakes, my almost one year drought before getting my shot at that belt and taking it with me. No, all I could care off was you, I was hoping and praying that at least you would make some fucking sense... And what you do? You recite just another old promo and juice it up a little for the icelandic losers out there. But you intentionally.... or at least that's what I am hoping for your sake... Intentionally ignoring my freaking FRUSTRATION!!!!  How the f#### dare you!!!!

Vinnie grips the arm rests of the chair with both hands and squeeze it, causing his hands to turn white while his intensity is seemingly skyrocketing out of the roof.

Senor Vinnie: I thought we had the tale of the toughest match that you have ever had... And all you could do is talk with respect of the 2 and 2 scenario that you and Austin have created?? Cry me a freaking river damnit!! You aren't going to take this away from me like you did when you lost the stinking title okay!!!

Because lets realize this Kris..., I have not forgotten that night. I have not forgotten a damn second of that moment where my life went to ruins. Realizing that I could no longer take away MY championship belt from the ONE person that deserved to experience in one fold what I have endured TWICE!!! And when that moment finally comes, you just turn your back to me and suck up to the next idiot that fits your mold? Why Kris?? Is it still that delusional thought of big and strong and agile and looking like an athlete gets your drawers rocking? Or is it merely the fact that I have almost completed that negative circle and you have not even realized it!! I am undefeated against the man that beat you... YOU Kris.. the man that never lost.. so who is the man right now???

And don't worry about you uttering the words that this title makes me the marked man in this match. And of course it does..., but over here...

Vinnie points to his face, tapping to his temple as his intensity is sky high.

Senor Vinnie: But up here I cannot say it unless I have beaten your stinking ass. This title isn't valid until I HAVE BEATEN YOU!!! YOU!!! Can you hear me or do I have to ask Google Translate to curse you out in twenty five ways?? You have to understand this Kris..., talk all the respect that you want about any out there..., but when you only focus on the fact that you are just 2 and 0 and move on?? That would be the biggest insult I have ever endured.

Did you know what I have had to endure Kris??? Of course not..., you were face first in whatever delusional intimate situation with everyone that either wants to change you for the better, or those who just want to rub off against the Icelandic freak of nature inside that six sided ring!! Judging me and my relationship with Valora, as I wasn't the right one for her... Well?? Still the case?? Or is it merely the fact that I do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as you?? Fuck YOU!!! It's always about you isn't it?? It's always about who can be better than you, not even realizing that this isn't the man that you faced off against in two brutal matches. Hell at least you admit about the wars and fights and everything else unlike some other fucking idiots in this match. Judging me by using movie lines and stuff like that while he is using the biggest cliché of Christmas to make a fool out of himself. But then again, Ben knows best isn't it Kris?? But it's all about you and me you long haired threat to my title reign.

That's right, you are Kris, you have been since day one that I had captured that title. Hoping that you would knock on my door and challenge me. But no, you didn't. You denied the prophecy that I had vowed me to achieve, just like you denied me that one on one title match at Summer XXXTreme... Because you were too stuck up and believing that you would reign supreme forever!! WAKE UP!! Even that Tweeting idiot did not do it and neither will I or anyone else after me. And you know why Kris?? Because it's supposed to be that way until the end of time.

Vinnie silences for a moment or two, breathing heavily as he puts his fists together as he is trying to restrain himself.

Senor Vinnie: I am sure that nobody in this match has ever told you that huh Kris?? But I am sure that them and you will be hiding behind the fact that it's inevitable to fail one day. And to this very moment all of you seem to forget to even consider your own... I was the only one that even mentioned it and that I am fighting to withstand it... That's the true essence of a champion. Looking past the fact that you want to take this belt away from me!! Well Hallelujah!! May the Lord be praised as another Prophet has found a way to open his mouth and say the obvious!!

Funny how everyone seem to think I am still that one guy that I was prior to this championship Kris. How they judge me from bringing in a cactus, while it has been months that he has been on air until the last few weeks. See how blindness fools you? See how you only wish to see what isn't even out there?? Oh no Kris, I am like you have uttered yourself... I am the champion, I am the one with the bullseye on his back... But I can only sleep when I have truly defeated you. But now that I only see you as a emotional mess, I can no longer see you as the hope and desired opponent to redeem myself.

Redemption is when this title changes hands, looking into the eyes of that one man that has beaten me. But I sadly have to tell you that you will not be that man Kris..., I do no longer wish to call you by a personal name but merely that of Fenris. Because I can no longer sympathize with the man that once was unbeaten. Maybe I should not criticise you and be angry towards Austin, but thank him for putting you down as an old dog... I just pity the fact that it wasnt ME that has put you down. But I will take pride knowing that the end of Fenris is upon us... and this time it will be at MY hands... And I will make sure that nobody will take away MY destiny like you allowed it to happen the first time.... The first time where I will look at my title and utter the words... I am the champ.... until then Fenris... until then... I will survive and none of you will....

 The Cacti and I, part uno

To protect the innocents (and there are many), we have changed every nameexcept for the two main stars. And who can blame them?? They are, as we have quoted so nicely the main stars for a reason, they are the twosome ofSenor Vinnie and Cactus Pete. We shall dwell down to memory lane, as well as present day scenario’s to enlighten the world as in to WHY the Cacti shalltake over the world.  

It all started a looooooooong, long time ago. In a galaxy Faaaaaaaar, faraway.... oh wait, before we get sued by Disney and Lucas Arts. We will justchange it to a local town that we randonly drawn out of a high hat to makethis story more believable. And we have decided to pick Tijuana, Mexico. Theyear is reluctavely a short period of time to be honest, in the rockus 200o’s.Where we all started to get behind bands like... uhm..., you know... Coldplayand shit. Now, I know that people like Caleb Storms were not even born inthat era as well as the Metal and Punk Connection would  wholeheartedlydisagree with such a statement. But it’s a reference pick to make theaudience buy into the more socially accepted time frame then instead of uswielding lightsabres and using the force to make you believe everything thatwe just uttered out.  

Now it’s time for me to catch my breath.

Senor Vinnie: Wowsers!!!! A cacti!!!!

Now this is the basic beginning of something beatuiful, a young man that hasgotten his first gift. And what a gift, no it’s not a game console or an Applethingy. No, he has received THE gift of all gifts that just keeps giving to thisvery day. Sadly, the intro of the blatantly excited idiot has already givenaway the surprise. Because lets face it, you need to built up to the anticlimactic moment where everything should receive itself... like for instancethe Luke, I am your father scenario. Or the more subtle approach of Shorty’sRun bitch, run.  

Cactus Pete: …......

(translation through modern technology) Oh god, not another brainless human

Now i can hear you all think, this is more of the same level of ignorance asShorty, than to the mouth watering revelation of Darth Vader to his alldressed in black son Luke. And yet, these two are combined by the shearforce.... errr love caring moments that we have all come to know and adorethrough the mind of a boy that turned into the husband and world championthat we have all grown to love and admire.

Admiration is such an important phaset in the live of Senor Vinnie, that he has graciously allowed to showcase the next thing that happened on thatseemingly meaningless moment, but ultimate that would shake up the worldthat we have come to know.

Senor Vinnie: Buuuuuuuuuuuuuurp!!!!

Now just take a moment, sit back and allow the moment to sink in. Itsobviously  the evolution of mankind through the attempts to become a wiserentity in the world that we believe that we own.  

Cactus Pete: …......

(translation) Your beath stinks.

Vinnie looks at the cacti in an odd way, as if he heard it talk to him. He looksaround the room, to see if there’s someone hiding behind a corner for a Candid Camera appearance. But unfortunately for Vinnie, there’s nobodyaround. He scratches his head and shrugs his shoulders and pretends as ifnothing had happened.

Senor Vinnie: I had the assumption that this cacti was talking to me.

Pete: …..

(Translation) I was you moron.

Senor Vinnie chuckles as he turns around the corner and whistles, pretendingas if nothing has happened.

Senor Vinnie: I have to remind that one joke about that cacti that crossed theroad. It’s so much funnier than the usual suspect of the chicken, also I thinkthat the chicken healthcare plan would be delighted that we have found a different subject to torment than that egg laying fruitcake of a bird.

Suddenly Vinnie feels something hitting him in the back of his head,something that stings as he is feeling something dripping down the back of his neck.

Senor Vinnie: What the??

He raises his hand to the back of his neck and feels a sharp object that he pulls out of his head. He slowly moves his hand towards his face and looks in shock at the....

Senor Vinnie: A cacti spine???

He turns his head to where it had come from and we see the cacti standingthere in the doorway of het hallway. He is looking around, clearly he hadremembered that the cacti was standing on a table in the room that he justcame from.  

Senor Vinnie: Okay Ricardo, you can cut it out now. I know you are playinggames with me.

Voice: What are you talking about Vinnie??

Vinnie turns around and sees his younger brother Ricardo standing on theother side of the hallway. He looks at him, then back at the cacti and thenback to his brother. Realizing that his brother could not have thrown thespine to him and place the cacti on the floor at the same time while being onthe other side of the house.  

Senor Vinnie: But...., how?? Why??? What?

Ricardo looks at his older brother and raises his eyebrow.

Ricardo: You okay bro???

The shot fades as we see Pete jump around happily as Vinnie is stillscratching his head, trying to figure everything out that would ultimately end up being a huge part of his life.

Now we can understand that you are telling us that this is merely a comedyfactory attempt to built on the character of Vinnie. And why not?? But nosenores and senoritas, Senor Vinnie has got the rights of his entire life to bedisplayed for everyone to be read or seen in a documentary or biography.And Vinnie wants to bear all!!! Well you know what we are talking about of course.

A new challenge, part uno

Senor Vinnie is seen at his hotel room, still wearing some bandages aroundhis arms from his brutal encounter with Alex Jones. He is talking to his wifeon the speaker phone as he is unpacking his suitcase.

Valora: Are you okay sweetie?? I was about to fly along with you to take care of you.

Vinnie smiles, he knows that his wife loves him. But he knows that shecannot fly with him every single week, even though he would loved that. Hesighs as he places their wedding picture on the nightstand next to his bed.

Valora: What’s wrong Vinnie???

Senor Vinnie: Nothing’s wrong amor, I just stared at our wedding picture andremembered how special that night was for us. And I wish you were heretoo, but I know you work magic for all those patients that love NurseRodriguez.

Valora giggles as she hears the last name of her husband.  

Valora: Well okay sweetie, just make sure that you kick your next opponents butt.

Vinnie and Valora are fighting over for who hangs up first that takes severalminutes as the camera moves around the hotel room until we hear a knockon the door of Senor Vinnie. Vinnie says goodbye to his wife as he opens thedoor and we see Christian Underwood standing there tapping hs feet.

Senor Vinnie: What’s wrong Senor Underwood??

Christian sighs as he looks around for something.

Christian: Is that cacti around Vinnie???

Vinnie raises his eyebrow, wondering what he is talking about.

Senor Vinnie: No senor, he is not. Why?

Christian Underwood: Well, after watching that last Cliimax Control I sawwhat happened between him and Iris the Bulldog from Bill Barnhart. Andquite honestly?? That dog is already a threat when it comes down to poopingon the carpet, we do not need a cacti that starts causing shit.

Senor Vinnie again raises his eyebrow, not sure what to make of this whatChristian Underwood was saying to him.

Senor Vinnie: Uhm, senor?? When Pete takes a dump, it will end up in his pot. And that would ultimately be the perfect fertalizer for him to growupon, so you would not have any pro.....

Christian: You know what mean Vinnie!!!! Those two were provoking eachother and we both know that it would ultimately end up in chaos.

Senor Vinnie: With all due respect senor, Pete was just eating his burrito’s. He is a non violent eater, that dog was attempting to steal his food.

Christian rolls his eyes over the comment that was being made by Vinnie.

Christian: Attempting?? Oh wait, I guess your memory lapse isn’t as up to par as beating opponents for that title. But Iris actually ate the entire thing!!!

Senor Vinnie: No, Pete had some on his spines as he watched Iris eat theremainder. Come to think to it, Pete was the victim of this entire situation. He should have been protected by your security.

Christian is shocked and speechless for a few moments after hearing whatVinnie had to say, causing him to fume after a few moments and reacts.

Christian Underwood: We are not going to protect a plant!! You need to keepthat plant away from my talent!!!

Senor Vinnie: And what about that dog???

Christian sighs as he knows that Vinnie has a point there.

Christian Underwood: Iris is part of the contract that Bill signed, he is a part of his entourage. We cannot do anything about that.

Senor Vinnie: Well I got an idea for this problem then Senor Underwood.

Christian Underwood: You are going to keep that plant away from thearena’s???

Senor Vinnie: No, I will do a contract signing this coming Climax Controlwhere Pete will once again be my manager.  

Christian: Underwood WHAT??!!!!!!

Christian’s eyes almost bulge out of their sockets in a reaction of rage, clearlynot expected this follow up from Vinnie.

Christian Underwood: I am not going to allow this Vinnie!! It’s either thatplant or you bringing your wife to shows every now and then.

Senor Vinnie: You are not going to pay for her ticket then???

Christian Underwood: You got that right smart ass!!!

Senor Vinnie sighs as he nods his head before grinning

Christian Underwood: What’s so funny???

Senor Vinnie: I remember that Pete has got enherited money from his greataunt Spicy Spine. She was very wealthy, so we can pay for her tickets andstay in the hotel eveyr now and then. So don’t worry about that, but Petewill be at ringside starting next show. Gracias Senor Underwood.

Christian Underwood: But....,

Vinnie has already turned around and had closed the door in front of the coowner of Sin City Wrestling. Causing him to bang his fist against Vinnie’sdoor.

Christian Underwood: Open that door Vinnie!!!!

Vinnie opens the door as he has already grabbed a jacket and walks out as he passes Christian.

Christian Underwood: Where you going Vinnie?? I am not done with youyet!!!

Senor Vinnie: Perdoname senor, I just have to pick Pete up from the localTaco Bell. Apparently he has got into a fight with a Chihuaha over a Taco.  

Vinnie runs off as that causes Christian to stand there looking in shock.

Christian Underwood: Sometimes I really hate my job.

We come back as we see Vinnie turn the corner from the hallway and bumpsinto the camera crew that was waiting for him. He rolls his eyes beforeturning his gaze at his watch and sighs.

Senor Vinnie: Fine, I got a minute or two to spare. So what do you want???

The camera crew does not respond (official rules that only interviewers canask questions). Causing Vinnie to sigh and nod his head.

Senor Vinnie: So you want to know how I feel right now??

The camera nods his head up and down as if it is answering with a yes.

Senor Vinnie: How do you think I should be feeling?? After having to disposeoff Alex Jones, beating him in a brutal match that left us both bleeding andbatterd. Causing him to congratulate me on social media, having him bite on his lower lip while typing that I was the better man on that given night. Making him forget all of that and feign a repulsive and retorical statementthis week that I will not surpass the opposition of the already qualifiedthreesome of the man I’ve beaten for this belt, the man that I’ve wanted tobeat for this belt and the best ever wrestler besides Alex Jones of course tohave never worn this belt??  

And then to refer to Bill and himself as the finalize the final men that wouldever got an oppertunity to take away MY champiosnhip belt in the year of 2019?? And we all know that I am a sucker for quality story telling that wouldmake girls scream and boys want to be like the 21st century version of Mike.... Michael Jeffery Jordan that is of course and that would be me, SenorVinnie. And yet, I have to say that just like Alex Jones inside the ring. Hisnotorious fantasies of me losing to whomever and whatever type of match isstarting to get creepy, seriously he needs help. I mean soon he is hoping for a SCW legends one final shot at the gold Battle Royal, where I need to start thematch and have to fight off every imaginable odds that a normal wrestlerwould not be able to overcome. And that’s the point isn’t it?? In his mind, Iam still a normal wrestler. Even afte beating him, even after getting all of hispraises.... but that’s allright, that’s what Senor Vinnie is all about... provingthe nay sayers and doubters wrong....  

But for now?? I need to save Pete!!!

Bill runs off as the shot fades.

The Cacti and I, part uno

The precent day

Senor Vinnie is seen running into The Taco Bell restaurant, finding a shockedPete as he is being taken care off several employees of the restaurant.  

Girl 1: Oh he is so cute, he reminds me of my cactus that I had back homewhen I was little.

Girl 2: You get your hands off of him, I saw him first you know!!!!

Girl 1: That’s such a lie!! Your shift only started five minutes ago and I havebeen helping him since he came in this morning!!!

Girl 2: Oh yeah?? What was his order???

The two girls are yapping left and right as Vinnie walks over to the guy withthe mustache and starts to talk.

Senor Vinnie: Excuse me senor, can you please tell me how much the damageis that Pete cost this establishment???

The guy looks up at Vinnie and grins

Guy: Hey, aren’t you that Rico guy???

Senor Vinnie: No, my name is Vinnie.

The guy slaps his head as he realizes he has made a mistake.

Guy: That’s right!! Vinnie, I’m sorry man. I had an employee a few weeks ago, his name was Rico and he looked similar to you. It was his hairline man, mybad. But Pete??? Oh you mean this little fella??

He points at Pete.

Guy: Nah man, he didn’t caused any issues at all. We had an old granny walk in with her chihauha and that little mutt started barking and running aroundlike crazy. He even pooped all around the floor before jumping up the tableand attack his Taco lucnh he was having.

Senor Vinnie looks at Pete, then at the two bickering girls and then back atthe guy.

Senor Vinnie: So....., he didn’t do anything???

Guy: Yeah, why??

Senor Vinnie thinks back to the incident between Pete and Iris, he has knownPete quite well for a very long time. He remembers how Pete often told himthat he loved fucking up with dogs minds, so he wasn’t so sure that Pete wasthis innocent.

Pete: ….....

(translation) Chill man, I got two ladies fithting over me. Don’t steal my mojo man.

Senor Vinnie rolls his eyes and grabs the cactus and holds in front of his face.

Senor Vinnie: You never had a mojo to begin with Pete!!!

The two girls suddenly look up from their bickering and stare at Vinnie  

Girl 1: Hey!! Keep your hands off my big boy!!

Gril 2: Yeah!! Wait, what? Your big boy???

The two start to bicker again as Vinnie pays for the taco that Pete had bought before walking off. He enters the limo and tells the driver to drive off as he puts Pete in his special custom made Cactus seat. A seat for a little baby, but with modifications so it would fit the cactus. Vinnie puts on the safety belt, so it would support it and wouldn’t let him fall over with every turn the limo would make.

Senor Vinnie: That was really irresponsible Pete, I hope you didn’t caused any problems between you and that dog??

Pete: …...

(translation) Who me??? That dog started it!!!

Vinnie rolls his eyes and lifts his arms in the air (as far as the limo would allow him of course).  

Senor Vinnie: It’s always the fault fo someone else, you never take the blame now do you???

Pete: …...

(translation) Why would I?? It wasn’t my fault!! Aren't you paying attention???

Senor Vinnie: What about Lupe???

Cactus Pete: …..

(translation) What about that dog???

Senor Vinnie: You told him that you were eating a Nacho bowl filled with dog biscuits!! Of course the dog would go wild and wanted to eat hat bowl!!!

Pete: …...

(translation) Well, in fairness.... it did taste like dog biscuits.

Senor Vinnie: And at Climax Control, you didn’t told Iris by chance that you could get her a pizza if she could eat the burrito in like ten seconds???

The cactus remains silent for once, causing it to admit to Vinnie without talking that he had caught him red handed in the act.

Pete: …...

(translation) So I sometimes like to play around witht hose doggies, so what???

Senor Vinnie: So what??? Oh of couse, that’s always the answer for Pete to just attempt to get out of the predicament. As if nothing serious has ever happened and that we all should just forget about it.

Pete: …..

(translation) Hey!! Now we are getting somewhere. So what are we eating tonight?? I'm hungry.

Vinnie rolls his eyes and slaps his hand across his face and takes a few moments to think about the situation.  

Senor Vinnie: Why is everything a joke to you?? No wait, don’t answer that. Because I am sure that you had another funny answer ready to be delivered as if a quick punchline right???

Cactus Pete: …..

(translation) Aww man!!!

Senor Vinnie: You know that I got into trouble a few moments ago, having one of the owners go off on me about what in the hell you were doing?? Also, he wanted you banned from the arena. But luckily for you, I saved your ass once again.

Cactus Pete: …..

(translation) Uh oh....

Senor Vinnie: Uh oh indeed, I have told him that I was going to sign a contract with you this coming Climax Control. Making you my manager once again, I hope you are happy???

No wait, don’t answer that question. Because I have so much more to tell you that I am not going to be waiting for another smart ass comment concerning how witty you are. You see Pete, if I recall. You cost me my that match against Alex Jones. The last time I had lost a singles match was bgecause of YOU. And that turned into that asshole wanting not one, but TWO title matches... all because I had not beaten his ass one, two and three in the middle of the ring. Are you happy?

No wait, that was just merely a rhetorical question. Of course you are happy, you are always happy. You are the one that ALWAYS thinks about himself... the one thing that i got accused off for MONTHS!! Hell, I am still to this very day!! Thanks to YOU.

Pete just sits there, taking every vocal abuse that Vinnie is giving him to much to the surprise of Vinnie himself.

Senor Vinnie: So, when we going to sign that contract Pete. I am going to let you know already that there will be so many clauses in that contract, that if you fuck me over even ONCE. I will make sure that you end up in Siberia in the winter and forcing you to survive until the summer of 2022!!! Got that???

Pete doesn’t answer.

Senor Vinnie: GOTH THAT??!!!

Cactus Pete: …...

(translation) Can I talk again???

Vinnie rolls his eyes, annoyed over the way that Pete is causing to get under his skin. Something that he has done so many times in very succesful ways.

Senor Vinnie: I just want you to do your job, stay out of trouble and most importantly... stay away from Iris that flea infested bulldog!!!

Cactus Pete: …...

(translation) Iris is actually a very clean dog, she showers almost as much as her owner.

Senor Vinnie: I didn’t wanted to hear that!!!  

He holds his hands to his ears, trying to ignore the things that Pete is telling him through the mind connection that the two are having.  

Senor Vinnie: I don’t care whether that dog is clean or not!! I don’t want this to turn out into a huge chaos between me and Bill Barnhart. The fact that he believes that he coudl earn a title shot is troublesome already. But to have you adding fuel to the fire by harrassing that dog???

Cactus Pete: …..

(translation) That dog attacked me!!!

Senor Vinnie: I don’t care!! And even if that was the case, how in the hell did you end up with Burrito all over you?? I thought you were a black belt in Cactuera??? (cactus version of Caupera) and not a black belt in being a far relative of the Chameleon!!! All you have to realize is that I am in control now, I am the main point of it all. The crowd may still love you, I don’t care. But this is the time of El Campione. I am the one that main events shows all over SCW as I am the main draw Pete.  

Vinnie suddenly stops and smiles as he repeats the words Main Draw in a whisper.

Senor Vinnie: To be honest, that does sound good. I am sure that you just planted that seed into my head huh Pete??? No, it’s okay Pete. You don’t have to answer that question, because it’s quite obvious that the whole Iris thing was just to get me into the right direction even more.

Pete sits there silently, listneing to Vinnie ramble on and on and on.

Senor Vinnie: I mean, I could even persuade Bill to just put on a leash on himself and his dog. I mean they often tell that the owners and their pets start to act similar and look similar. I guess Bill is just another example of some big old cuddly bear.... but in a dog kind of way right???

Pete is still quiet.

Senor Vinnie: I should be thankful for Bill for what he and his dog has done for us to bring us closer together once more Pete. I have to say , I did miss our moments together as you booked hotels and flights while I sat home and did nothing.

Cactus Pete: …......

(translation) You what??!!!!

Senor Vinnie: Let the good times roll once more and be thankful that we have each other Pete.  

The two talk as the shot fades to a commercial break

A new challenge, part dos

Senor Vinnie is sitting in his hotel room while watching a movie. He is relaxing, wearing some loose pants and a white sleevelss t shirt. He laughs at some funny thing before noticing the camera and turns off the movie as he turns his attention towards the camera.

Senor Vinnie: Welcome to the busy life of your El campione. A life where I am confronted with every days life as well as the expectations of performing as a champion every single time I step foot inside the six sided ring as the top guy. The top guy, isn’t that what we all want to be?? If I have to believe the many  social media posts of people with an ego that is larger than the Grand Canyon, I have to believe that we need another planet Earth to just keep everyone happy. And the funniest of them all is, people talk big and yet has got to deliver to the point of deserving the crap that is coming out of their mouths. But who am I to critique?? I am the crappiest of them all isn’t it???

he chuckles as he rests against the back of the chair and leans his hands behind his back and looks forward for a few moments before starting to talk again.

Senor Vinnie: People are often so different whenthey are granted an oppertunity to be themselves, not having to worry about whether the people will like them if they said left or right.... people that are clueless for whatever that ability will bring them... yet forgetting the determination that will keep them there where they were destined for greatness to begin with. And yet, it always arrives with a huge question mark... isnt it past opponent adn future one?

I have decided not to name names, not to spoil the surprise for those who have lived underneath a rock for how many centuries?? Finally stepping out of a life that could be compared to the Amish as they have rejected everything that is modern and is controlled under the naked eye of the devil as it is Electricity and modern equipment that does things that they have feared for their entire life. And why?? Not because they don’t wish to have a much easier life... oh no, it’s just merely the fear that they would doubt The One that brought them upon this planet.... and ultimately question their integity.... Oh I have seen those doubts creeping into your head over and over again senor.....

Nah ah..., I am not revelaving the mystery just yet. I don’t want you all to slip down the trail of concentration... or the lack of it. And what a nice description isn’t it?? Lack of something... hmmm, what would it be lacking when it came down to the former opponent that I have opposed in recent time???

OH yeah, a championship edge that would seperate them from each and every other superstar that is lacking that extra IT factor. And when it comes down to my future opponent, it’s something similar besides the championship belt that he is NOT holding right now.

He smiles as he slowly opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling above him.

Funny to see how he is boasting about a future title shot IF he manages to beat me... Being a man that apparently wants to do everything so quickly that it makes me wonder whether he is already realizing that his career is coming to an end. Now is it Teddy?? Hmm?? Of course it isn’t, you are the husband of the very talented gem in your life Kate Steele isn’t it?? The excellence that has held so many championships in her past that it should just rub it off on you eventually.. Right?? Right???  

And yet, you are just a man of many faces my amigo, one day you are questioning your worth as the superstar that your wife has believed you are destined to become... and the other moment you run your mouth on social media, begging for a title shot if you are capable of beating me on this coming show. But you arleady know the anser that you aren’t there yet are ya??? Like Kate told you a while ago that it is one step at a time Teddy, because you already hoped for a J2H complex that would electrify an entire nation in giving hope for those who are just merely hoping for nothing more than a chance.  

And i can hear you thinking, already wanting to open your mouth and stating that I do not know what the fuck i am talking about isn’t it Amigo?? Being champion, a champion that obviously does not deserve that what I have fought for to obtain?? Because let’s be honest, originality is far fetched by those who have yet to achieve the goal that I finally have obtained after fighting for so long.

Oh yeah amigo, i have had to struggle even longer than I have had to count the many shape shifting identities that you have on a single day, let alone during an entire period of feuding Griffin for that Roulette champiosnhip. Oh yeah, I know who you are amigo... at least you are someone that understands what it is like to have a championship belt around your waist... so a bigger challenge to me than whatever Alex Jones has ever been. Oh yeah I have made the statement that would make your teeth gringe doesn’t it Alex??

He stops for a moment as he puts his hands to his hair and rubs his fingers through the softness of his hair.

Senor Vinnie: God it’s so good to at least have a change of heart for once not having to stare down the greased head of Alex Jones and his rambling BS that would make J2H at least a poet of some sorts. But that’s not what you are all about is it Teddy? No, you are not the type of guy that will profess his greatness prior to the deed that needs to be done, oh no. You are the type of guy that wants to earn the bragging rights and shove it straight in the faces of those who you have conquered right???

The problem is Teddy, I am not so sure that you have the focus what it takes to conquer me. Because first you wanted to share the honors with your wife and challenge for the Mixed tag team Titles... and now you are already staring into the possiblity of holding the title in those hands IF you beat me.... what is it going to be Teddy?? London Underground?? Or the richest price in the game??? Where will Teddy’s head be at this week hmm??  

A sickening smile emerges upon his face

Senor Vinnie: I can already hear you now, can I stop the man that has been main evented show after show after show that he has been at for months?? The man that ended the reign of Austin James Mercer?? The man that ended Fenris his reign??? Can I please every gem that he has got in his hands to be at his side before we will challenge for any other championship?? I just wonder how you will react to the question of Kate, asking you what about the challenge for the Mixed Tag Titles?? Isn't it that a moment of shame hitting you in the face. Realizing that you are the selfish man that does not care of her needs.

Don’t worry Teddy, i know that you will proclaim that you never leave her side. Have been an angel to her every needs. Supporting her in every aspect of her career... everything except when your desires are suddenloy fed by sugar and spice that makes everything oh so nice. And being the world heavyweight champion, the man that carries THE champiosnhip belt... that my amigo is the one thing that is indeed THE nicest thing that is tempting every time I shove it in your face. Making you realize that you wil never obtain such a thing like this....

I know it’s non champinship, i know that i cannot lose it to you even if you pinned me a million times in a row. But the fact that you already dream of something that you are unworthy off is already your downfal senor Teddy. But then you are just forgetting one thing Teddy...., the fact that you are focused on what is next. Clearly a mistake that only a fool could make senor..., because you cannot comprehend overlooking the man that has been on the same path that you are right now... but has overcome. I am the man that is determined to beat everyone that doubts me, that is determined to make a name for myself.

I am someone that has to prove the fact that winning this title wasn’t the end of my luck... but merely the beginning of something that may be... that has to be. A legendary run write down my name between those who earned the right to be the greats. And you know how to do that senor?? Not overlooking those who come in my path, yet I am determined to take you down.

So who will it be this time Teddy??

He looks with a questionable look on his face that is followed by a smile.

Senor Vinnie: Sensitive and caring Teddy?? Greedy Teddy?? Eighties hair metal Teddy that didn’t wanted to wear make up??? Or just the reality that you just want to ignore... the clueless Teddy that is trying to deny his denial.... Bu it’s okay to have your eyes opened up by the one that is truly the very best at this moment. The best that I have worked for many months before having my hand being raised and hear Justin Decent tell the world that I am the NEW SCW world heavyweight champion...

But it does not end there Teddy, because I know I could sit back easily and not care if I would lose. Because I would walk away with the title still around my waist... But that’s not me Teddy. I have vowed to be a champion with pride, a champion with determination that I want everyone to nod their heads and tell the world that I am the very best. So after this Climax Control be thankful, thankful that I have erased the hope of ever getting a title shot in the hope of beating me in this match. Thank me for make you realize that you are just destined to be side by side with your wife and challenge for the SCW Mixed tag titles... nothing more than that Teddy... be thankful, be over joyed by the grace that Senor Vinnie, SCW heavyweight champion has bestow upon you.... who knows, I may have even kicked your true reality into your ass. Making you realize who you truly are.... Because lets face facts, you may proclaim to be who you say you are..., but I am the SCW Heavyweight champion and I will understand why I am the very BEST that you have ever been in the ring with... And break your spirit, as you are not good enough to beat me.... simple math Teddy... You are just not good enough.

With that Vinnie smiles one more time before waving to the camera, signalling the end of his promo as the shot fades to darkness.  

 Doing the right thing roleplay one, part one

October 7th 2019
Honolulu, Hawaii

Senor Vinnie and his wife have arrived at the door of their hotel room, Senor Vinnie is dragging and holding every piece of luggage so that his wife can use their key to open the door to their honeymoon suite

Valora: Vinnie, I know we are just married for a few months now. But the honeymoon suite???

Vinnie grins as he gets real close behind his wife and kisses her on the cheek first before answering.

Senor Vinnie: I tried the presidential suite, but that one was already taken by one of the owners as the other took the royal suite. But if you want, I could always go for the cheap ones downstairs??? But those don’t have a jacuzzi.

Valora giggles from being kissed by her husband as she playfully pats him on the cheek to go away.

Valora: Nah it’s okay, I’m just not used to be spoiled like this. But perhaps down the line we could always try something different??

Senor Vinnie: Nope, the coming year it will be our honeymoon celebration. After that it will be our one year anniversary, then we have to at least do that for like six to another twelve months to acclimate. And after that?? Well let’s see if El Campione can come up with another excuse to get my wife the very best that this world has got to offer.

Valora and Vinnie enter the honeymoon suite, Vinnie places the luggage near their bed as he turns his attention to his wife and hugs her.

Senor Vinnie: I am so happy that you could manage to join me on this two week trip mi amor. It has been rough the past weeks when I was on the road and you were at home or working

Valora kisses him on the lips as she smiles, wrapping her arms around his head and the two hug each other for a few moments as she puts her head against his chest.

Valora: I wouldn’t have missed this for the world Vin, but you know that I am also here for Ty. It’s been quite a while that I could have spent any quality time with any of my family and friends, this close to Halloween. It wouldn’t be right if I was at home while you boys had all the fun.

The two smile as the kiss one more time before Valora turns her attention to the luggage

Valora: Okay, let’s unpack. I need to get out of these

Senor Vinnie: I couldn’t agree more

Valora pats him on the chest and scowls towards him playfully

Senor Vinnie: What???

Valora: Now isn’t the time for that Vinnie, I have promised Ty that I would do some sightseeing with him and Jan. Besides you have some promotional appearances to hype High Stakes don’t you???

Vinnie can be seen sighing, he had forgotten about those appointments and really wanted to spend some time with his wife. Valora notices his disappointment and whispers in his ear.

Valora: If big Vinnie does a good job, we could perhaps have nurse Valora do a check up on him later tonight?

She pulls away and gives him a wink that causes Vinnie to swallow big time.

Senor Vinnie: AIi Carramba, what were those appointments again???

Valora is laughing as she is seeing her husband sweat because of her promise and him forgetting what he is supposed to do.

Valora: You have an appointment meeting the press down the loby concerning for the show as well a your match. Then you have to visit a local hospital for a make a wish request and to top it off you have a sit down interview with Pussy Willow

Senor Vinnie: OH God, not another interview???

Valora: Now behave senor Rodriguez, or else I may have to put you in quarantine the next two weeks until your match with Ty. And with that you will have to be sleeping in bedroom number two

Vinnie scratches his head as he only sees one bedroom in the entire suite

Senor Vinnie: Bedroom number two???

Valora laughs as she points at the balcony that has two beach chairs as Vinnie groans.

Senor Vinnie: Oh alright!!! But you have to promise that Nurse Valora will do a full check up on me. I have been having a cold lately

Vinnie pouts his lips as Valora rolls her eyes.

Valora: Alright!! But now you have to get changed to do your first scheduled appointment.

The two kiss as Vinnie takes a shower before putting on some new clothes and heads down to the press conference.

***Press Conference***

An hour has past as Vinnie can be seen sitting down at the local press conference in the hotel. He is wearing a very colorful shirt, white knee high shorts and flip flops. On his head he has Armani sunglasses as he has the world title in front of him while looking to the international press that has gathered to interview him as well as many other SCW and SCU superstars.

SCW Press Chef: Thank you for all joining us for our press conference for the up and coming High Stakes super show. Everyone has an opportunity to ask our superstars some questions, right now we have our SCW World Champion, Senor Vinnie to take your questions.

Senor Vinnie cuts off the press chef as he grabs one of the microphone in front of him.

Senor Vinnie: Is this on???

Due to the sudden impact a high pitch sound can be heard from the microphone that is sent directly to the speakers on either side of the room.

Senor Vinnie: Whoops, I guess it’s working.

SCW Press Chef: As I was about to say is that everyone….

Senor Vinnie cuts the press chef off once more as he grabs a different microphone

Senor Vinnie: I want to thank everyone for showing up, it’s great to be in Hawaii. The people are always friendly, great weather, nice beaches. It’s as if I am back in sunny Mexico.

The press chef puts his hand on the microphone as he directs his attention to the champ

SCW Press chef: Sir, I would appreciate it if you would let me finish and then you can….

But Vinnie is in a zone, completely ignoring the press chef.

Senor Vinnie: I know that people have asked me if I would reconsider bringing back cactus Pete. But…,

SCW Press chef: (hissing) Sir!!!! Would you please let me do my work??

Senor Vinnie looks at the press chef and realizes that this is an formal occasion and nods his head

SCW Press chef: Thank you…,

He turns his attention to the press room as he is about to speak

Senor Vinnie: So anyone got a question for me?? I am sorry… uhm…, what’s your name??

SCW Press chef: Sir, this is rather unlike the SCW protocol that we have been upholding for many years. I…

Senor Vinnie: Yeah, whatever. But you are very rude not to tell your company’s champion what your name is.

SCW Press chef: Kyle, but I do not see the need to….

Senor Vinnie: Thanks Kyle, you have done a great job. Now if you don’t mind? I like to do things my way.

Kyle: But…,

Senor Vinnie: Can someone please cut off his mic?? He is really starting to annoy me. Also, like I was saying. I have been getting loads of fan mail and I haven’t had the chance to answer them for quite some time. So if anyone would like to, well you know take these questions and I will answer personally.

A reporter grabs the list of questions while Kyle the press chef is attempting to restore order.

Kyle: Sir!! I must object!!!

Senor Vinnie: And I must tell you that you have one foul breathed mouth young man. Perhaps you should try some mouth wash or something, because pfew!! You stink!!

Kyle suddenly puts his hand to his mouth, reluctantly breaths on it and then smells his hand. Not sure what to think of what Vinnie just told him but he chooses to ignore it and grabs the mic in front of him.

Kyle: ………

He looks at the microphone, realizing that the sound was cut off. He looks at the sound people and runs off, not realizing that Vinnie had gotten underneath his desk and cut off the wire to his microphone and sits back up smiling.

Senor Vinnie: Now I think that it’s time for some questions seeing I have finished that little “problem”

He chuckles as he waits the first question from the reporter.

Reporter: Senor Vinnie, my name is Pete. I am a big fan of cactus Pete as I have ordered all of his merchandise. Will he make a comeback to SCW and if so, when??

Senor Vinnie nods his head and grabs the microphone while staring into the camera

Senor Vinnie: Good question Pete, to answer your question. Pete is been begging to make a comeback. I think personally it’s an excuse to leave the house seeing his girlfriend Penelope is often very bossy.

He chuckles before waving that answer off.

Senor Vinnie: Cactus Pete is a tough cactus, he has even confided in me that he would like to make an in ring debut of some sorts. He has been asking me questions about the SCU division and if they would consider hiring him. But that’s all I can tell you, I have not been able to process his wishes or neither have had the time to discuss them with the owners.

Reporter: This is from Juanita, from Tijuana, Mexico. Senor Vinnie, how do you respond to people who claim that you are a joke as a champion??

Senor Vinnie rubs his chin for a few moments, thinking about the question that was asked .

Senor Vinnie: Senorita Juanita, I look at people that proclaim that statement that I am a joke or do not deserve the title. I look at them, then I show them the championship belt and tell them to take it off of me. I mean a few weeks ago I had my first title defense, a hard fought match against Senor Jones. A man that believed that he could take me down, because he was so much better than me. Forgetting he hit me with my best amigo Pete, without my amigo Pete at ringside to be used he lost his cool. He shoved the official, who sadly disqualified him.

Reporter: Sadly??

Senor Vinnie: Si senor, sadly. Because there was so much more punishment that I wanted to dish out to this perro. A man that assaulted me after the match, a man that I cannot even refer to as a man as he prefers to hit the low road. A road that is undeserving for his fellow Wolves members that at least know how to win and hold on to a title for quite some time no?? But he will have to live with the fact that he is nothing more than a crying little child

But on to the next question

Reporter: This is Alex, from Austin, Texas. Senor Vinnie, what do you prefer?? Taco or Burrito??

Senor Vinnie chuckles as he thinks about that answer.

Senor Vinnie: Whatever my sweet wife decides to cook for me… that is of course if we do not decide to eat in a fancy Taco Bell.

Everyone in the press room laughs at the answer from Vinnie including the champion himself.

Senor Vinnie: What can I say?? I am just a sucker of great cuisine and with that I just have to tell the world that the greatest cuisine as of late is this world title. Now I know that you have many other cards with questions to ask me reporter, but they will all be answered eventually. I am a busy man and I am going to spend some quality time later one with some of those unlucky children in this towns great hospital. To give them hope and strength to beat some major diseases butt.

He gets up as the reporters ask him many questions as well as using their flash photography to get a final shot of the champ. Vinnie ignores them as he suddenly bumps into Kyle who is furious after realizing what Vinnie had done to his microphone.

Senor Vinnie: Oh hi Kyle, I hope you will be able to find the right cable to be plugged back in… see ya!!

Kyle: But…., oh man I give up….

Family matters rp one, part one

Senor Vinnie can be seen sitting down in his hotel room, Valora is nowhere to be seen. He is wearing knee high shorts as well as some flip flops to his feet. He is wearing a Hawaiian shirt that has many colors and is showing his physique.

Senor Vinnie: Hola amigo’s and amiga’s. Welcome to the part time crib of your SCW world champion. Part time as the coming three weeks me and my wife as well as the rest of the family will be spending here. Working to my one on one confrontation for my world title against my nephew for my world title as well as extending a well deserved holiday with my wife. Something I to this very day cherish the thought of being the husband of this wonderful woman.

I know, I know what most of you are thinking. How long Vinnie? How long will you be able to keep up the charade?? How long will you be the nice and thoughtful husband before your true nature pops in and breaks everyone’s heart… especially that of your wife?? Pointing at my track record and telling me that a man will never change.

He chuckles as he takes a sip from a glass of orange juice and places it back on the table and leans his head back against the chair that he is sitting in.

Senor Vinnie: And I have to tell the world that they are right when it comes down to my past, being the egotistical SOB that never cared, that always did what made HIM happy. But I have to tell you folks, those moments of happiness came and went just like that.

He snaps his fingers, referring to the mentioning of how short his moments that he enjoyed his happiness in the past.

Senor Vinnie: I thought I had everything that a man has ever wanted, except for the world championship belt. Zooming in all my intentions on one strap that was around the waist of the next man I would beat… or so I at least thought. Getting all worked up over the fact that I could not, I was unable to beat Fenris. And then something happened…..

No I did not mean I gave Pete a sombrero…, no I met Valora. A woman that did something to me, a woman that caught my attention and kept it. A woman that was unlike many others that I liked for one moment and got bored with the other. You know…, those who many idiots proclaim that they are the perfect women??? Nah ah…, I married the perfect one. And she made me all sentimental, she made me care for others… she made me realize that there was more than just me…. And …. I got afraid.

He turns his head away for a moment, trying to get his mind back on track before turning his attention back to the camera.

Senor Vinnie: Afraid because I never had that moment where I would suddenly care for others. Being taught that you cannot trust anyone else but yourself, being taught by my padre that a man should be tough and mean at times. To do to others before they do it to yourself… oh padre… I know now you were so wrong and I feel so frustrated over what I have done in the past… including to the trust of those who say bad things about me… and… I cannot blame them…

It even got to the point that I pushed away those who I loved, those who I referred to my friends. Those who got close to me as I opened up to them and I got scared that was soft. That I was losing my mind, that I was not a real man anymore. Excuses that I know are only excuses and that cannot mend fences…, but at least I am man enough to admit that I was wrong….. but even then I had not even considered myself to be granted another chance…. A chance to the love of an angel…, but I have. The woman that made me open up my eyes and made me a better man… or at least, she kicks my ass every day if I do not try hard enough

A soft chuckle emerges on his face, but only for a few moments as he knows that there is more important things to be said.

Senor Vinnie: But I know I have got so far to go until I can look back and give myself a pat on the back on doing at least everything that I could to make this world a better place. Getting up and personal with those who I would have tried to avoid in the past, to put on a smile and deny everything that I have done wrong. Win back the last bit of trust that is missing…, to at least know that I don’t have to look over my shoulder anymore and wonder what I could have done better.

I have worked my ass off to have gotten to the point where  I have become world champion. I had to fight through a lot of better wrestlers than me and move on to bigger things. Winning the golden briefcase and yet…., nobody mentions that I was heroic, that I was the best.

He closes his eyes and bites on his lower lip, trying to restrain the emotions that is running through his body and is taking over his mind.

Senor Vinnie: I was the one that clocked my opponent with a pumpkin over his head…. Oh and did I tell you that my opponent then was my now nephew??? A match where the champion told the world flat out that he preferred Ty over me… that I did not succeed in anything because I did not pin or made him submit.

Grinding his teeth and shows a smile afterwards as he waves it off.

Senor Vinnie: We all know how that ended, no need to turn back the time on the outcome of the world champ beating me… But I had to live with the fact that I smashed the pumpkin against Ty’s head over and over again… like a wild animal… There isn’t a day that passes me bye that I do not think of the emotional distress that I was in when I felt good hitting my opponent… not because it was Ty…, but merely because I succeeded in getting closer to the thought of this championship would finally make me happy… all I was feeling was disgust…. Even to this very day… but hey!! I was taught not to show remorse, I was taught not to show compassion… I was taught to lie, to cheat and to steal…. Aii aii aii…

He scratches his head and sighs.

Climax Control 229…. i….

He closes his eyes, sighs as he if he is reliving that very moment of that faithful night in February.

Senor Vinnie: I….,

He looks up as he is rapidly opening and closing his eyes due to tears of shame emerging from his face before wiping them away

Senor Vinnie: where I used Pete to knock down Ty and score the win that I should not have gotten, at least not that way. The night where everything changed between me and him, the very night where I broke every possible boundary between our friendship and….

I will never be able to look at him without knowing I was wrong…. And it makes me realize…. That everything that I have obtained…, was never supposed to be mine to begin with….. but his… And realizing that…, I realize now that I have to show the world that I deserve this championship belt, that I deserve the win that I had against Mercer and to Jones a few weeks ago. And when I do not beat Ty…, then…. I guess I do not deserve anything that I have ever gotten… except the love of my wife.

He looks away, wiping another tear off his cheek before turning his attention back to the camera with a look of seriousness.

Senor Vinnie: Mi amigo Ty, I already know the anger in your voice when you speak. I can almost hear it even if you have not opened up your mouth to utter them for the airwaves to be heard for the millions watching. I already can feel the heartbeat pumps oxygen through your body and your blood boiling over, making me wonder if you aren’t somewhere part Latino. And you have every right to do so on everything that you will tell the world, but more importantly towards me amigo. Because there’s nothing to forget or to forgive, there’s nothing for me to fight and change your opinion on what I have done… but you have to understand amigo, I am not going to fight for you to change your mind on what has happened. Because lets face it Ty, even though there is nothing more than what I would have loved more to do to alter time and whatever that I cannot do…. It will not happen… and there’s nothing else that I can do but to accept it…. and change your opinion on the man that you will be facing at High Stakes amigo. The man that will face you, the man that will take all that you have to offer. And from past experiences Ty, I know that it’s a lot.

I am not going to have a tweet from Alex Jones be my motivation, where he tells the world that he is going to enjoy watching me lose to you. Because I know he has got no respect for you, he only knows that perhaps he has a better chance against you then me. No Ty, I want you to wake up and realize who I am today. I am going to fight for every possible moment that your eyes open up to see the light and realize that I am a better man and that I am sorry. That I am not going to ignore what has happened, that I am not going to forget things to my own pleasing convenience and move on. No Ty, it’s my destiny in your hands that I have to fight for so hard to make you understand I am willing to go through what you must have gone through for almost a year now.

He is silent for a moment, seeking for words to utter as he looks up.

Senor Vinnie: There is so much more for me to say amigo, but there’s a time and place for everything. But now, I have something far more important to do than to concentrate solely upon you and me….

With that he gets up and walks off from the shot that the camera crew has on him.

Doing the right thing roleplay one, part two

Senor Vinnie and Valora can be seen visiting the Hawaii Children’s Cancer Foundation for the make a wish foundation as many young fans have requested for the world champ to visit them. He is sitting down with some children as he has handed them several SCW toys from different superstars and bombshells as well as allowing the children to pose with him and his championship belt. Valora is chatting with the parents as well as other patients who are a bigger fan of her then her husband.

Kid: Senor Vinnie, I….

Senor Vinnie kneels down for the young kid and winks at him

Senor Vinnie: You can call me Vinnie…..

Kid: My name is Sean sir… errr Vinnie…

He blushes as he misspoke and smiles as he sees Vinnie making a funny face.

Senor Vinnie: Okay Sean, so what have you been wishing for son??

Sean looks around to see if others are listening to them before turning back to Vinnie.

Sean: I have perhaps a weird request.

Vinnie raises an eyebrow before looking around and starts to whisper to Sean.

Senor Vinnie: You are talking to the man that can hear what a cactus says, so I am sure that I have heard it all Sean.

Sean: Well, I just want you to promise that you will not hit Ty like you have done in the past.

Vinnie raises his eyebrow a bit higher, realizing what the kid is asking of him and he starts to shake his head.

Senor Vinnie: You sure play hard bargain Sean, but you know I will tell you a secret.

Sean looks at Vinnie with a curious look on his face.

Sean: What’s that???

Senor Vinnie: You see my wife over there??

Sean turns his head and stares at Valora, who at that point was looking at them and started to wave. Causing Sean to wave back and turn his head back to Vinnie.

Sean: Yeah???

Senor Vinnie: I have had to promise my wife to stick by the rules, or else she would hit me where it hurts me the most.

Sean raises his eyebrow.

Sean: You mean?

Senor Vinnie nods his head

Senor Vinnie: Yup, she would cancel my allowance and cut my credit card in half. She is one tough and mean cookie I tell you.

Sean bursts out in laughter as Vinnie has winked at him after saying these words

Senor Vinnie: But seriously Sean, I am not going to make that mistake once more. I have learned from my wife as well as many others in my life that I need to take responsibilities for my action. And even though I cannot change what I have done in the past, I could at least make a difference with the things I will do in the future. Besides, I know how tough Ty is, at least I should be able to defend myself wouldn’t you agree???

Sean shakes his head no.

Senor Vinnie: No?

Sean: No, I mean I am a big fan of Ty West. I want him to win at High Stakes.

Senor Vinnie raises his eyebrow even higher.

Sean: No offence, but he is just my idol and I thought I could tell you that and I would be very disappointed if you did the same thing again.

Senor Vinnie: I am sure that Ty will appreciate your support Sean and I personally look forward to face my nephew and to show the world that I can go toe to toe with him without being a bad guy.

Sean smiles as he gives Vinnie a hug

Sean: I like you too though Vinnie, I didn’t liked Alex Jones and what he had said about you and Valora.

Vinnie grins as he returns the hug to Sean

Senor Vinnie: I am glad to hear that Sean, but uhm…, next time?? If I hand you ten bucks, will you at least tell me that I am your favorite superstar???

Sean grins as he nods his head before giving Vinnie another hug. Vinnie walks off as he is being approached by Valora who gives him a big kiss after hugging him.

Valora: Now that kid seemed very happy to have spend time with you

Senor Vinnie grins as he returns the kiss

Senor Vinnie: Oh yeah, he was brutally honest.

Valora raises an eyebrow before pouting her lip.

Valora: Aww, was the little boy mean to the big bad Vinnie?? I did see you hand him ten bucks, I told you not to let others bribe you hun.

Senor Vinnie rolls his eyes and pouts his lips.

Senor Vinnie: Awww, you have to understand that I just saved you from a potential stalker senora Rodrigues-West.

She chuckles and punches his shoulder playfully

Valora: Oh yeah sure, he does look like a potential threat, I guess it’s a good thing that you bribed him from every possible future hostilities he could ever come up with.

The two laugh as they walk hand in hand as they walk to a group of youngsters that would like to have a picture taken with the newlyweds before they walk off and leave the foundation.

The shot returns as they have gotten back into their limo and are heading back to their hotel. Valora cuddles up against Vinnie and is talking to him while Vinnie is thinking back to the kids that they met earlier.

Valora: Hello?? Vinnie?? Earth to Vinnie…, you out there???

Senor Vinnie: Huh?? What?? I was listening

Valora pats him against the arm playfully

Valora: Sure you were hotshot, so what was distracting you so much that you weren’t paying attention to your wife??

Vinnie chuckles as he kisses her on the lips

Senor Vinnie: I was thinking about the kids, especially that last kid. They were so happy so full of strength and so positive and I…,

Valora: What??

Senor Vinnie: I just realized that before I had met you I would probably would not have cared what they have told me, wanting to party and get wasted. And now?? It makes me realize that I am so fortunate to have what I have and that I shouldn’t take things for granted. And this kid….

He smiles

Senor Vinnie: He wanted me to promise that I would not hurt Ty when we face at High Stakes. That I would not go for the easy way out of things and be a man.

She looks at him

Valora: I am sure that you will do just like you have promised him Vinnie, I know that it means so much to you to show the world that you are a great man and champion.

Senor Vinnie: I need this match Lora, I need this match to prove a point. Because I know deep down inside Ty still cares for me, but I need this to prove a point. If I cannot beat him, then….

Valora puts her finger on his mouth to silence him.

Valora: Please Vinnie, not now. I don’t want to hear you speak of beating Ty as if he was a punching bag. I came here to be with you, but also for Ty. Because I know that one of you will have a difficult time and I need to be there for the both of you

He nods his head and smiles, turning his attention to his wife as he kisses her.

Senor Vinnie: I am so happy you are here mi amor, no matter what happens I am still the happiest man alive to have you by my side.

The two kiss as the shot slowly fades.

Family matters rp one, part two.

October 12th 2019

It’s late at night as we are in the hotel room of Vinnie and Valora, Valora is sleeping peacefully in bed as Vinnie stands in their balcony overlooking the beautiful city of Honolulu, Hawaii. He is drinking a glass of water as his mind is racing because of him facing his nephew. He turns his head towards the bed as he hears Valora turn around, worried that she would wake up but sighs of relief that she is still sleeping. Turning his face back to the outside as he takes another sip.

Senor Vinnie: I must admit Ty, I was happy that you beat Jake Raab at Summer XXXTreme to become number one contender for the world title. A feat that I knew you would accomplish. Thinking about the possible showdown that we would have together one on one when I would beat Mercer. Thinking how proud I was as myself was such in a positive vibe that nothing could go wrong. Marrying Valora, becoming world champion. Nothing went wrong during that period of time on that cruise huh?? And after a few days I remembered everything else that what has happened in the past and how personal this match would ultimately would be.

I know I am not the one that should point out of things that others could have done differently, I mean I am the prototype of not repeating what I have done. And yet…,

He shakes his head no

Senor Vinnie: Perdoname Mi amigo Ty, I shouldn’t have. I am tired, I haven’t slept all night as I have been thinking about Lora, about you. About us.., how similar we have led or lives guide us with he same worry… fear, being afraid…. Maybe for different reasons, but ultimately the fear of losing people?? Hurting people?? To be alone once more?? We have experienced similar things mi amigo, of course I wasn’t the one that got the trust broken by you….. I realize that. But

He closes his eyes and sighs

Senor Vinnie: I know that whatever I say won’t make the difference now does it?? I know that I have to prove it inside that ring, to show the world that I can be a good guy!! And I know deep down inside whether you like it or not, I have done the unthinkable and become a world champion when everyone thought I would end up to be the laughing stock of this company. Hell even the commentators didn’t knew what to think about it as I was crying out tears of joy. Hell everyone congratulated me for a job well done and I still feel that I have accomplished nothing. Because I would have given it all away that what I have accomplished inside this ring to turn back the time and done it different…. Except…

He looks over his shoulder and stares at the sleeping woman that he calls his wife and smiles

Senor Vinnie: Except the happiest moment of my life, but you have to understand Ty. I am going to fight you not only to successfully defend my championship belt… oh no, I am going to fight you as well to prove you that I am a man. Not the weak spin off version that I used to be, something that deep down inside your mind still believe that I am.

What will it take for you to change Ty?? Do I have to kick some sense in your head that this is the man that is much more than everyone else is telling I am?? And I am not saying this to start off even more heat between us… but that’s including Fenris. A man that has yet to look at me and tell that I am not the same man that I used to be. But I guess that’s what it does to people if you fuck up isn’t it??? I respect you Jan, for the moments that I was allowed to witness you from up close in your personal environment with my nephew Ty, it made me realize that there is so much more to you than the Icelandic bad ass that curses a lot.

And you Ty?? Again I ask you? What will it take for you to accept me not only as your uncle, not only as the man that you gave away your aunt for our marriage. But also the man that is the SCW World Heavyweight champion?? And don’t come to me by telling that I have to let you cover me for the count of three and hand over the world title towards  you. Because that would not make things better for you now would it?? That’s not the man you are, that’s not how you want to look back at your career and see a blemish that will haunt you. A blemish that I can’t take away from me even how badly I want to erase it from my mind. But I have to start somewhere don’t I?? And that beginning starts when I look you in the eyes and allow destiny to take control over you and me amigo. And when all smoke has settled… I know I will be the better man that I have ever been in my entire life and you?? By win, lose or draw. You will understand why……

Until then amigo…, until then….

With that he walks over towards the bed and his wife, who has slowly woken up and smiles towards her husband as he kisses her on the lips.

 apologies, i just had a bad week of bs happening and my dog getting sick

SCW Exclusive

The Wedding Dance

Behind the scenes never seen before  footage after the wedding ceremony between Senor Vinnie and his now Wife Valora West. Still dancing on the dance floor that they shared during their first dance together on Lionel Ritchie’s Hello. Everyone else has left the dance floor to prepare for the remainder of the show. Vinnie and Valora are staring ino each other’s eyes while slow dancing to a Jukebox version of the song Hello.

Valora: Thank you Vinnie, this was the most beautiful day of my life.

Vinnie smiles as he raises one of his hands to her face and brushes her left cheek with the back of his hand. He brushes her hair for a few moments before placing his hand back into the small hand of his wife.

Senor Vinnie: I thank you mi amor, us becoming husband and wife has been the one thing that I have realized  that I have been missing my entire life. Nothing can ruin my night no matter what happens during this special evening.

Her smile widens, she is radiating of joy from their wedding as well as hearing his words that he just uttered to her. She rests her head on his chest and sighs while listening to his heartbeat.

Valora: Vinnie??

Senor Vinnie: Si amor??

Valora: I love you …..

The words echoes through his mind, causing a smile to widen even more than it already was. He holds her closer to him and wraps his arms around her body. The two share a moment of silence before Valora slowly raises her face towards his.

Valora: Vin, I know this is your job and all. Just like Ty and Jan, but I often worry when one of you enter that ring to face someone.

His gaze looks down upon hers as he looks down upon her look of love, but he can sense her concern for his and their wellbeing.

Senor Vinnie: We will make sure that nothing will…..

She puts her finger to his lips as she wants him to stop talking as her eyes become more intense

Valora: Look Vin, I know you and Ty and Jan are capable of taking care of yourselves inside that ring. Hell, I often wished I could throw someone like you guys around inside that ring. But even the best cannot guarantee that they will never get hurt or even worse… injured. I….

There’s a moment of silence as she is looking for the right words to say to him.

Valora: I just don’t want you to get hurt, I mean I know how important this world title is for you. But…,

Senor Vinnie: My sweet Valora..,

She sighs, she loves how he calls her like that. Causing some of her concern to temporarily fade from her as he kisses her forehead.

Senor Vinnie: I must admit that every time that I step foot inside that ring that it may be the very last time that I will ever enter a ring in my career.

Valora: That is not helping Vinnie.

He grins as he notices her concern returning back upon her face as he once again kisses her forehead once more.

Senor Vinnie: But since this year something has changed in my life, you see mi amor. Since I have found the unsuspected lovebug that I had given up upon before I met you, I realize that I have a new motivation in life that changes everything that I thought was important to me.

She looks at him with a curious look on her face

Senor Vinnie: You see, when I met you I felt a sensation that I thought that had died along with my desire to care for others. I mean everything prior to have you opening my eyes was solely focused upon me. I was never satisfied, I was never happy unless I had more the next day than the day before.

I hope you understand

She nods her head as she kisses his jaw

Senor Vinnie: But since that faithful day slowly something has changed, it scared me in the beginning that I tried to resist and return to the one thing that I knew and felt comfortable with…. Hence the situation that emerged with me and Jan and later with Ty…. Causing you to….

He bites his lip for a few moments but smiles eventually as he looks back into her eyes. Knowing the days of him being without her are long past him

Senor Vinnie (sighs)… you know…. That day that you told me to stay away from you made me realize that my life isn’t about me. That it would never lead to anything good, that I would hurt the people around me that cared for me…. The ones that I thought would never leave me no matter what I would do….

Valora: Oh Vinnie….,

Senor Vinnie: But I thank the Lord every single day that I wake up that I had been given a second chance. A chance to prove that I could change, that I could alter my life and become a better man. Marrying you, seeing Ty giving you away on the altar. Seeing everyone gathered with us on that ship or on Skype made me realize that I have friends… But most importantly, I realized that I will never leave your side ever again.

Valora: You better, or else I am going to put the Mariachi Reciner on you big boy.

The two laugh for a few moments before Vinnie kisses her lips tender.

Senor Vinnie: Marrying you was the biggest price that I could ever win mi amor, I have already become a champion. I am your champion, something that no matter how prestigious the SCW World Championship is…, it will never compare to the love that I get from you every single day for the rest of our lives. See my love? I have already won…., so winning that world title would just be a bonus to an already successful Summer XXXTreme. Besides, I am sure that a few pounds of gold would not alter anything for you now would it???

Valora: No…., but it would be nice to see my husband come back to our luxurious suite with that championship belt. Because if you win, I will have something special for you waiting champ.

She winks at him as the two smile before kissing each other before the shot slowly fades.

Present day;

Aruba

Senor Vinnie can be seen sitting down poolside underneath a rather large umbrella to protect him from the sun while drinking an alcohol free cocktail while wearing bright Bermuda swimming trunks and white flip flops.

Senor Vinnie: Welcome to the Vinnie’s luxurious lifestyle that would ultimately end up on The Life of the Rich and Famous on TV!! Even though I have always been more a fan of MTV Cribs, so who knows when we go back to Tijuana, Mexico. I may just show off the riches of YOUR SCW world champion.

He grins big time as he takes another sip from the cocktail before turning his attention back to the camera.

Senor Vinnie: Now I realize that the old Vinnie would just tell you that he wasn’t the man that would tell you that he told you so, but continuing it by telling you so. Oozing of arrogance and being self -centered. Well we all remember how that ended up huh??? The past often is referred to a reminder that often would repeat itself. Something that I am sure that Austin James Mercer un-intentionally was hoping for to repeat itself once more. And who could blame him?? When you were looking across the ring towards the man that looks, sounds and smells the same as the man that lost several times to win that world title in the past, then you would feel comfortable knowing that the champ beat the man that I could not beat.

And yet history is a reminder of how things would ultimately ends up with you when you do not learn from the mistakes of others.. or in case of yours truly of yourself. And when you learn, you need to execute it to perfection. Because failure in life is un-acceptable when you are this close to be the very best in your line of profession..

But then I can hear you think, but Vinnie??? You told us that marrying Valora was more important to you than winning the world tile??? Then why are you altering your words???

He smiles

Senor Vinnie: Good Question, you see. I am a competitor, I am a man that finally can call himself a winner… a survivor even when you have to realize that I went through a war with the former champion. But I still doesn’t change the fact that it made me realize that I could not lose no matter if I lost. I have the most valuable gift in life, waking up next to me every single morning. Greeting with the sweetest smile when I bring her breakfast on bed, telling her every morning that I love her. Now tell me, what title can compete with that?
None of course….,, something that I am very pleased to say that it completes me. But having that championship belt across my waist brings responsibilities with it…. like competing in main events, like fighting off challengers with in their minds the same mentality like I had against Mercer…. Or even have them tell me that they are even hungrier than I was. Facing men that in due time may very well become challengers for your gold, waning to get a psychological edge over you when they manage to secure a victory over me in a non-title match. Like I have to deal with this coming Climax Control.

He remains silent for a few moments, letting the words that he spoke off sink into his mind before he continues.

Senor Vinnie: A mixed six person tag team match, normally people would say a six man tag. But I guess that would not fit well with a mixed tag match. Jessie Salco and Amy Santino…, my tag team partners that have allowed me to be a part of their great legacy that they themselves have created…. Asking nothing more than the very best out of each and every competitor that is associated in our group. Something that I have been questioned off for how long??

Facing Griffin Hawkins and Team hero…, now isn’t this a match that is quite interesting isn’t it? Two legends of the square circle, returning to the ring to tag with the Rockstar of SCW… The Rockstar of Sin City Wrestling…. Interesting isn’t it?

Having the Rockstar face off against the Mariachi of wrestling, I am sure that when Mark and Chris created this card that they believed it had music all over it!!! The Rockstar against the sophisticated musician that plays with the same intensity like he…., but he end result of what comes out of our fingers is quite interesting isn’t it?? like comparing Julio Iglesias to some guy wearing a mask and screams out all the time. Is it the same?? Is it that different??

Maybe to simple minded fools that ask too many difficult to be answered questions. Difficult for those who have yet to experience of what it is like to be standing in our shoes and deliver like we do. I guess a difference in performing the art that we both love is ultimately secondary to what is truly important to the both of us.

Having fun….

He takes another sip from the cocktail before placing it down upon the table next to him.

Senor Vinnie: Team Hero, a returning twosome that has done it all, both hall of fame legends, both won many titles. Married to each other and raising a beautiful son. Congrats on your return senoras, I am honored that I will be standing oppose of the twosome with Griffin as your tag team partner. But that’s where all the nice words end wouldn’t you think???

And yet, it’s seemingly as if we are looking into a mirror and see different reflections of one and each other. To the point where I just have to ask myself… what gives?!!!

Well thankfully I can ask mi amigo Pete!!!

He grabs his cell phone and makes connection to his Skype app on his phone and gets in touch with his cactus friend Pete back in Las Vegas with his girlfriend the cactus Penelope.

Senor Vinnie: Hi Pete!!!

Pete: ……

Senor Vinnie: Gracias Amigo, it’s great to hear from you again. Yes I have had a wonderful honeymoon with Valora, something that I am certain that will come out in SCW Specials to show the world how wonderful our time together on that lovely cruise ship truly was. But Pete, I need your help amigo.

Pete:……

Senor Vinnie: Si!!! I had to ask what would you think of my match against Team Hero and Griffin Hawkins???

Pete:…..

Senor Vinnie: Oh please, don’t tell me that you are a big fan of them just because they all have long hair?? Is that your objective view on a match???

Pete;…..

Senor Vinnie: Oh yeah, that’s right. You were rooting for me against Mercer because you did not like his beard. I forgot, so I guess you have a valid reason to be  a fan of y opposition. But I have to ask something amigo

Pete:…..

Senor Vinnie; Can I interest you with a nice ice cream bar???

Pete:…..

His answer annoys Vinnie as he sits up from his chair and takes off his sunglasses.

Senor Vinnie: What do you mean I am trying to bribe you? I just know you like ice cream!! Is that so wrong?? I just want your opinion on Griffin?

Pete:…….

Senor Vinnie scratches his head

Senor Vinnie: I know he is good, a former Roulette champion. But you think he has a chance???

Pete:…..

Senor Vinnie: I am glad that you have faith in me Pete, I do not want to disappoint mi amigo in my first match as champion.

Pete:……

Vinnie rolls his eyes over the answer from Pete.

Senor Vinnie: yes!!! I will ask Amy if she wants to respond to your DM’s you send her. But I don’t want to find out that you are doing this to make Penelope jealous you know!!!

Pete:…..

Senor Vinnie: Fine!!! I will ask her if she likes a cactus. But you know that she is ma…..

Pete:……

Senor Vinnie: Fine!!! Its fine to have a cactus in your home. But are you trying to move forward from me to someone else???

Pete: ……

Senor Vinnie: You know that you get sea sick on that cruise!!!

Pete: …….

Senor Vinnie: That is no Bs young man!!! You threw up the other day when you were in that bucket of water that I dragged along on that card on the beach!!!

Pete: …..

Senor Vinnie: Thank you for agreeing, but seeing you are just upset that ou did not join us I will do this on my own.

He clears histhroat.

Senor Vinnie: Griffin, I know we have never met before. But I know what you are capable off senor. A true classic in the making, an opportunity to show your capabilities against the new champ. Who knows in the future may be very well you and me for this belt. But just like my friends Amy and Jessie, don’t think we are just allow the red carpet to be rolled out and lay down for the likes of you. Because that’s what Senor Vinnie never does!!!

Well maybe when my wife tells me to, I would not disappoint her of course.

He grins as he grabs the cocktail and takes another sip.

Senor Vinnie: But all kidding aside, senor Griffin. I can see it clearly now that the rain has come… all the way to Let it rain down upon me. Why quoting parts of songs just to emphases rain is quite simple. Rain is the nature’s sweat that I am sure that will pour from our brows and bodies as we both do not wish to have the other upstage the other one. Two men of clearly being names that have respect for the abilities of the other one. But respect does not bring us far now does it?? Oh no, intensity does. And I know that I have to bring the intensity to make sure that a man like you does not get the feeling that there’s a future for you to be a future world champion instead of solely recapturing that Roulette championship belt.

Not telling that the value of that belt is less important, but come on…. We all want the spotlight that I have overtaken from Austin now don’t we? And before I set foot inside that six sided ring… I need to show you and the world that I have the intensity to take you down and move on. Looking ahead to defend the title against the people that are on the level of challenging me.. something that I know that you want to be at.
