Fade in on Cage sitting in his  gym,the lights are low the only real illumination coming from a television which judging by the audio seems to be replaying the previous weeks Climax Control.

Cage lights up a Camel and stretches his neck rolling it as it audibly pops ad then cracks his knuckles before looking up to address the camera.

Cage:I would like..if I can to clarify something for my opponent this week... you see Weapon-X...

Cage shakes his head and snickers.

Cage:I..I'm sorry see I kept trying to figure out the name...I mean Weapon-X...it sounds like something out of the old Buck Rogers shows me an' my father would watch.Or something Goldfinger would try to kill James Bond with...but according to my wife Weapon-X is just another name for Wolverine...

He shrugs and takes a drag on his ciggerette.

Cage:Hey..I feel ya. I loved the X-men movies Wolverine is a bad ass guy...but still man I find it hard to take you seriously with a goofy name like that. I mean shit I liked Batman too but I didn't decide to stick some pointy eared mask on my head and run around in a cape calling myself dark night or some shit. You're being ridiculous...I'll tell you what I do take seriously though,what I want to clarify for you...

He raises his hand as if to signal for something to stop.

Cage: You can edit it in here right?

Evan (from behind the camera):Yeah thats easy enough to do.

The feed changes,instead of Cage in the darkened room we are seeing a clip from Weapon-X's segment.

Weapon-X:I want to make this clear he has a RIGHT to be bitter. What he DOES NOT have a right to be is to think he no longer has to follow the rules of what a upstanding citizen is supposed to be. You are showing all of these teenagers & younger that if you are wronged the best course of action is to say "f*ck it" & stop caring instead of showing the world how strong of a person you are by sticking to the morals you once had even after this misjustice was done to you. You had a choice Bobby & you picked the wrong choice which is part of the reason out of EVERY single SCW superstar I chose YOU to be my official debut match here. You need to be put in your place for what you've become.

The scene cuts back to Cage.

Cage:I am not a role model, I've never claimed to be. I don't WANT to be one. I have never asked for anyone to follow in my footsteps and I've never said my way is the right way. You think I'm some kind of deranged monster leading the youth of this nation off onto a path of violence and anarchy? Far from it. I'm simply doing what is best for me and my family. Look at my daughter? Is she out busting heads and slinging Yayo on the street like alot of kids her age? No. She's living in a good apartment,she's going to school,she's dating a...I can't believe I'm saying this because I hate the little snot...a good guy. She's a good girl and I helped her turn into that person. I have never claimed to have made the right choices,I've simply done what I needed to do to survive.

He sighs and shakes his head.

Cage:I won't let you get under my skin,you can laugh me off because I'm a brawler and you can mock me for always 'choking' in the big time matches but since you're such an upright and pious christian...

He snorts back a chuckle and stubs out his ciggerette.

Cage:Well friend I would just like to remind you that there is only one being who has the right to sit in judgment of any man and though you might claim to do his work you certainly aren't him. So come down from your high horse and take off your little mask,drop the fake ass name and come at me like a man...or I promise you that come this sunday you'll be made a martyr.

Oh yeah and one more thing oh Masked Avenger...I've tangled with the Yakuza before. I've been on their god sides and their bad,I've seen them mobilize to help tsunami victims with food and clothes before even the fastest acting of charities had lifted a finger and I've seen members beat aman half to death because he shorted them by a whole five yen on a money exchange.Being involved with the Yakuza doesn't impress or intimidate me..So you're an ex bodyguard who turned snitch and brought down a big family...

Cage makes a fake yawning motion.

Cage:I personally exterminated the Fanturo crime family. From the Don all the way down  to  my former best friend Nicky. You went running to the popo's and I did all the work myself with these very hands. So you can claim to be the better man between the two of us and you can promise that justice shall be served or whatever the hell it was you said,but at the end of the day the only justice you know is how to pick up a phone. Maybe...just maybe I'll be a little impressed and show you some respect when you get your hands dirty. All wrestling aside all you've shown me is that you're a scared punk who couldn't handle living in the real world. You're ignoring the grey and living in a world of black and white absolutes...and this sunday I'll show you just how blind thats made you. In all your years,both in the buisness and just on this planet period you ain't never met a motherfucker quite like me. So being your wrestling skills,bring your holier then though attitude and your two little asian sex slaves or whatever the hell they are,bring all the help you can get. Because when you step into the ring with this poor old brawler...well I promise you son..you're going to need it.

Cage makes the sign of the cross and then flips both middle fingers at the camera as the scene fades to black...

 Fade in on Cage sitting in a small professional looking studio,the following text appears across the screen 'Bobby Cage appearance on the Royalty of Wrestling podcast London 4/27/2112'

Guy #1:Evening there folks this is Richard Morgan here as always with my best friend and tag team partner...at least in this audio broadcast Marlon Martinez.

Marlon:Good Evening....and tonight this is a very special episode of the show as we have in studio a veteran of the American wrestling scene he's wrestled on all seven continents, Mr Bobby Cage. Bobby it's a pleasure to have you here.

Cage: Well it's a pleasure to be here I've never really done the whole podcast thing...

Richard:Well it's easy pretty much the same as radio but it's a lot less formal. I guess we should start with the same question we ask of every wrestler we have on...what got you into the industry were you a big wrestling fan?

Cage:Well...sort of I guess,I mean obviously coming up in Atlanta back in the time I was there was WCW and it was kid of a big thing my father was really into it and so I'd occasionally watch the shows with him...I didn't actually decide to wrestle until about four months after my stint...

Marlon:And what was the story there?

Cage:What prison? I thought everyone knew this?

Marlon:Well you know just for those fans not familiar with your story...

Cage sighs.

Cage:A'ight so me and my girl 'Lissa are coming home from the club one night when this guy jumps out with a gun and tries to rob us,but he holds the gun on her while looking at me...smart move you know he picked the dangerous one to watch and was basically showing me you know 'you make a move I shoot her'. Now I had a temper as a teen and my dad figured the best way to keep me out of fights was to send me to boxing...and not to brag but I was pretty damn good...So he takes his eyes off me and I knock that gun out of his hand and  follow it up with an uppercut,he goes down but he pulls himself back up saying something about 'I'm gonna kill that cunt just for that asshole' and I just went of..I honestly don't even remember what happened my next clear memory was me standing over him with bloody two by four in my hands and then the cops pulled up and took me in. I went in for Manslaughter which..well fair enough I mean I didn't set out to kill the guy but he died and I had to pay.

Marlon:And so you did what a sixteen year sentence?

Cage:Right right I got twenty but I got cut loose in sixteen for some reason and this is where wrestling comes into it... I had made friends with this guy named Nicky Fanturo and Nicky was the son of a big...well lets just say 'legitimate buisnessman and money lender'. I ended up working for the Fanturo's for a while as a debt collector and one of the guys who I was sent to get cash from was a pro wrestler a real sad sack motherfucker who used to go by the name Parralax,we had a little talk about the biz you know after he paid me... he had to friggin' pawn the ONE title he'd ever won to do it but you know he paid me and told me about the life over a bottle of Jack and I decided that I was doing it I was going to be a pro wrestler.

Marlon: And this was in 2001?

Cage:Right right. So you know after that I mad eit a point to hang out wherever I knew that the wrestlers hung out,it was after WCW had folded and so you know there wasn't any chance of finding a decent opening..or at least thats what I thought. One night I got into a bar brawl against I think it was four maybe five guys...there was a fifth guy but he took a chair shot from one of the other guys and I wasn't sure if it was an accident and he'd been swinging for me or not...but anyway I managed to hold my own and put them down and this guy in a cowboy hat comes over and gives me his card.I totally forgot about it until the next night and I dig out the card and it was fucking Leroy Brown. You've heard of him?

Richard:Not me...Marlon?

Marlon:Nope not familiar.

Cage:Well he was really big on the southern U.S. scene for a while and at the time he was running Firk'n Hardcore Wrestling and managed to get me in the door. I guess I was a pet project of his because I won a twenty man battle royal on my first show and in a month I was part of Arrogance Untied which was our big face stable at the moment..well mostly face I mean I was a hell and I was at odds with everyone else storywise...

Richard:Now how does that work? The hell in a face stable thing...

Cage:Well storywise I pissed off President Brown and as punishment he stuck me in with the group who treated me like crap and constantly tried to beat me down and run me out of the buisiness but then the group fell apart and I ended up winning the President's Choice Championship....and then eventually I ended up in the Supreme Fighting Empire and I was main eventing...I mean the fans just loved me to death...

Marlon:And what was FHW like?

Cage:It was fun you know? I mean I got worn out on the whole globe trotting thing pretty quick but I really enjoyed it.

Richard:and now you are with the SCW?

Cage:Just SCW no 'the' I mean it isn't 'THE Sin City Wrestling'. And I like SCW too you know it's more laid back the road schedule is better...nice guys in the back you know...

Marlon: And how does your wife feel about the move to Nevada? I mean she used to be in the business right?

Cage:Well she sort of still is...she actually acts as my agent negotiating my contracts and all you know....she doesn't really wrestle anymore but she is still kind of involved.

Marlon:and she is actually your ex fiancee's sister?

Cage:Okay that makes it sound bad for the record Alissa was dead for years before Dee and I got married and Dee was the first one to meet me we just never hooked up at first because she is a couple of years younger them me..I mean when we met I was a junior and she was a freshmen she'd just beat the hell out of some guy for grabbing her ass and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen so I hustled her out of there and gave her a ride home...and you know we got to be good friends. We did hook up a few times...especially after I went in to my bid and Alissa wouldn't come see me..but we were never offical until AFTER Alissa had her car crash...so don't make it sound like I married her out of spite or something okay?

Marlon:sorry man sorry no offense intended...

Richard:Alright well it's about time to wrap this episode up so are there any road stories you'd like to tell us about? Maybe some good ribs?

Cage:Actually you know I have a good rib story. 'Hollywood' Ian Walker the guy who was running the Supreme Fighting Empire while I was in that stable he is a great guy..I mean pretty much my best friend in the business. I had mentioned to him that I'd like to get into acting you know? I mean it seemed like a decent little paycheck.
So anyway a few months after FHW closed he calls me and tells me he's got me a role in a direct to dvd action movie,I'm going to play a badguy convict who takes these two cops hostage in this scene. So you know I'm excited as hell I'm thinking I might even get S.A.G. card out of this but when I show up on set? Its a damn porno. Here are these two little things..barely older then my own daughter dressed up as cops and they're thinking we're going to do a big threesome scene...

Richard:And did you?

Cage:Hell no..and between you guys and myself I've always regretted it but I mean I was freshly married I had a kid on the way.. I just wasn't going to do that shit. How could I look my daughter in the eye if she saw that?

Cage shakes his head.

Cage:Nah I didn't do it but I called Ian and told him he got me pretty good... I haven't done it yet but I'm laying some ground work on a good one to get back at him.

Richard: All right so anything you want to promote? A twitter a facebook any of that?

Cage:Nah I don't bother with any of that shit but I mean uh we've got London Brawling come up our upcoming Supercard it's actually why I'm in town here. I uh I'm competing in a 5 way Roulette Rules Battle Royale.

Richard:Something you're getting very familiar with.

Cage:Hey they're a blast. I'll be taking on Old Skool,Adam Smith,Tommy Staggs,and Jared Black. I mean I've taken on Old Skool and the 'Jackal' Adam Smith but Staggs and Black are two total newbs I've never really dealth with but I'm sure that we don't need to worry about them. Just tune in or better yet come on down to the arena on sunday night and watch me kick some ass.

Marlon:Alright well thank you Mr. Cage it's been a honor.
Cage:Hey no problem guys next time I'm back this way I'll definitely be  back on here.

 (Sorry bout not posting this sooner but I haven't had internet all week.)
Fade in on a depressed looking Cage lying on a couch in a hotel room at Le Fabe in Paris,Dee is standing at a window looking out over the city as Evan hovers around the ocuch with his camera trying to cheer his hero up.

Evan:Aww come on Mr. Cage you almost got him.
Cage:Almost doesn't count.I didn't get the win Evan I didn't get the belt..I mean don't get me wrong good on Bo for beating me,he frickin' earned that win after some of the crap i did to him but it doesn't change the fact that I still lost...and I have to wonder if seven or eight years I couldn't have taken him without breaking a sweat.
Dee sighs and steps away from the window,she takes Evan by the shoulder and drags him towards the door.
Dee:Leave me the camera and go call Jenn.
Evan:Huh? I don't have her phone number....
Dee hands him her phone.
Dee:Use mine,if you want an excuse tell her that I told you to ask about Junior.
Evan:You aren't going to use it to film..you know...
Dee snickers and shakes her head reaching for the camera.
Dee:Go on,scoot back to your room,I'll bring it back later.
She lets him out shuts the door and turns back to Cage.
Dee:Alright Bobby on your damn feet,no more pouting,you got beat fair and square.
Cage:I'm not pouting...just pondering....
Dee:Robert Patrick Cage...We're in Paris the most romantic city on Earth,the frickin' city of lights and you're hiding out on the couch in our hotel room. Paris.We can go to the Louvre,the Eiffel Tower,the Arch de Triumph...
Cage:I don't want to go see the Arch de Triumph...
Dee:Have you even looked at the papers the front office sent over?
Cage:Yeah me versus Old Skool...your point?
Dee:You versus Old Skool in a Knockout Challenge. You know full well you can do it so get off the damn couch and show your wife a good time.
Cage laughs and gets off the couch coming up to wrap his arms around her.
Cage:Knockout challenge huh?
Dee:A whole tournament full of them. Winner gets a World Title shot. Now who knows an ex-boxer thats good at knocking people out? One who can teach the french how to fight?
Cage pulls away looking at her incredulously.
Cage:Teach them to fight? Babe they're the French come on,France was the dominant power in Europe for centuries. Hell look at World War One...
Dee:Someone's been watching the History Channel again.
Cage:I just want to listen to you insult an entire nation over their supposed cowardice...mock them for being rude instead.Now lets see if Evan's hungry I want some food and some nice vacation video.
Cage takes the camera from Dee and heads out into the hall coming to the next door,he doesn't bother knocking he just walks in,Evan is seated ont he bed talking on the phone.
Evan:Well you know it's like the song,you've got a face thats made for violence and porn...
Cage:Who has a face thats made for violence and porn?
Evan turns his eyes going wide and his cheeks red.
Evan:Uhm my mom!
He facepalms realising what he jsut blurted out.
Cage (confused):Your ma has a face thats made for violence and porn?
Evan:Thats what my stepdad says....
Cage just shakes his head and hands the boy the camera turning aorund to  walk back out.
Cage (in the hallway to Dee):Yeah he ain't coming...
Fade to black

 Fade in on Bobby Cage making his way down the Vegas Strip as Pussy Willow and a Camera Man tail him,Pussy shouts and waves her arms trying to get his attention.

Pussy Willow: Mr. Cage! Bobby!

Having heard her Cage slows and turns smiling at the advancing Pussy and her camera man.

Cage:How you doing tonight Puss?

Pussy:Not bad...I was just wondering if we could have a few words with you about Climax Control?

Cage nods.

Pussy:Well we all saw how you defeated Damon Synn two weeks ago in a big upset vic...

Cage holds up a hand to silence her.

Cage:That was only an upset if you didn't expect me to win. When are you people going to figure out that there is still a lot of fight in this old dog.I tell you I'm going to win and then when I do it's suddenly an upset. I was hardcore before hardcore wrestling was invented,I fought my way through sixteen years of prison with nothing but my wits and my fists,and you think me taking Synn was an upset?

Pussy:Well aren't you afraid that this time he won't be undestimati...

Cage:Underestimate me? After the whuppin' I gave that boy last time I highly doubt he could underestimate me if he wanted too. I have proven myself again and again here in SCW to be a contender,I ain't just some wannabe,I ain't just some punk,I am Bobby Cage and I am the real deal,if any of these losers in the locker room want to underestimate then they deserve the ass kicking that will undoubtedly follow.

Pussy:What about Bo Dreamwo...

Cage:Dammit woman can't I get a word in edgewise? I know I talked crap about Dreamwolf back before the big battle royal but here is the truth,I actually kind of respect Bo...he seems like a classy enough guy,and he's a teacher...any man who deals with other peoples kid's crap for hours a day is at least deserving of a little bit of credit,and as long as he calls the match down the middle,which I have no reason to doubt he will,Mr. Dreamwolf and I will get along just fine.

Pussy:So do you have anything to say abou...

Cage:Just this. It doesn't matter that this one isn't a hardcore match,it doesn't matter that we have a special guest referee, any time,any place,any stipulation and I would still be able to take Synn because I'm just that good....but I do want him to come at me hard at C.C. I want him to use everything he's got to try and give himself an edge because I want to give the fans one hell of a show,and I want him to know when he wakes up the next morning still reeking of sadness and defeat that there wasn't damn thing he could do to change the outcome. That nothing could keep me form getting my arm raised in victory...because I am better then him.

Cage turns and walks away leaving a visibly annoyed Pussy Willow as the camera fades out.

 *Fade in on Bobby Cage standing at a roulette table,he's pushing a stack of chips onto the line as Pussy Willow approaches.*

P.W.:Mr. Cage? Do you want to take a second?

Cage:No but you're welcome to stand here with me while I speak my piece of mind..I'm on a roll baby and I ain't leavin' this table to I'm broke or the house is....

P.W. :Uhm okay... You said last week you weren't concerned about any of your opponents for Blaze of Glory is that still true or...

Cage,cutting her off:That's still one hundred percent true.. Look at me...

He gestures at himself standing in a casino in a nice suit.

Cage: I'm here playing the wheel and looking good instead of busting my ass training in my private gym..and do you no why?

P.W. :No....

Cage:Because of one simple fact Pussy,None of these guys is in my league. They can run their mouths,they can call me over the hill or whatever but the fact is this... Skool's out,Prime Time is about to get cancelled,Bo can keep on dreamin' cause he ain't got a chance,The Jackal is a joke,and Brandon Medeiros is just plain going to lose again. Not a single one of these guys is anything close to a challenge.

The wheel stops spinning and Cage grins,he's won again and he reaches down to collect his winnings turning back to address Pussy Willow.

Cage:You see this? I don't gamble I win. It doesn't matter what the odds are,I WILL walk away the winner...and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves.

Fade out as Cage walks off to cash in his winnings.

 *Fade in on Bobby Cage sitting alone in a darkened gym, the camera shot is a single steady view from a mounted camera as he sits in a steel chair with his hands steepled under his chin.*

Cage:Brandon Medeiros... I have a few things I want to say to you... I don't know you,that's true. We haven't met yet...but I still feel the need to get a few things off my chest. You see I'm not going to sit here and make promises, I won't swear to kill you,or leave you a broken battered wreck..I have nothing against you.

*He lights up a ciggerette pausing a moment as he takes a long drag and then exhales a cloud of smoke*

Cage: But I will warn you..you see this match..it means a lot to me. I WILL be back on the top of this industry and I intend to wrestle each and every match I'm given as if it's the last I'll ever have, and that means I'm going to bring my a-game which if you don't me..well that means I'm GOING to kick a lot of ass, I'm GOING to hurt people, I'm GOING to end careers, and I'm GOING to break some f***ing bones...and I wanted you to know that in advance because like I said I have nothing against you,it isn't personal..I don't know you..hell if I did I might even like ya.Now,I understand you want to be the best..Well I may not be the greatest,I may not be able to bestow the title of the best wrestler in the world upon you...But IF...

*He chuckles as if he considers that to be an impossibility.*

Cage: IF you beat me,then it's definately a step in the right direction...and don't get me wrong I don't want you to win,but I do want you to bring everything you've got to Climax Control. I want to give the fans a match they'll talk about for years... I want a challenge.

*Cage stands and approaches the camera picking it up so he can look down the lens as he reaches to turn it off.*

Cage: It's up to you Brandon,are you going to be a challenge or just a speed bump on my path back to glory?

*The camera cuts out and we fade to black as the opening guitar riff to the Rolling Stones 'Paint it black' plays faintly in the background.*
