Cambridge, Massachusetts. Wednesday 10th April. (Off-Camera)
Rodrigo had been home a lot since the losses he's been getting in Sin City Wrestling and it was because he was losing focus a bit and most assumed Rodrigo's skateboarding career, but little do people know since Rodrigo doesn't talk about his personal life to any professional wrestler or to anyone not in his or his girlfriend's family and friends that it was because Rodrigo was going to be a father.
With that in mind, he did invite his skateboarding friends over, mostly for them to meet Ella who they hadn't met since they went to Switzerland that day. They were currently over and already approved Ella as they've been at Rodrigo's house for the last few days, going out shopping for baby stuff since Ella was now seven months pregnant. Although there was one question in mind Ella had for Rodrigo's skateboarding buddies as they were all in the living room having a drink, well Ella had some orange juice.
Ella: “How did you all become friends with Rodrigo:”
Jerald: “Honestly, I hated Rodrigo at first because the bastard kept getting high scores at Skateboarding with his tricks, but when I apologised with my jealous behaviour and got to know Rodrigo a bit more, he ended up being a decent guy.”
Darius: “Apart from when he threw a massive fit about losing to that thirteen year old skateboarder in the X-Games a few years ago.”
Ella: “No, Rodrigo would never do that. I've never seen him throw a fit when things aren't going his way.”
Rodrigo was silent as it was mostly for the skateboarders to interact with Ella than the other way around, but at the same time, Rodrigo put his finger up as he put the can of coke down on the table as he didn't want to drink beer due to being a father responsibilities being a thing.
Rodrigo Afonso: “It's true, I did throw a fit when a thirteen year old kid beat me twice in X-Games the pandemic years, but I learned a lot on why I don't throw fits ever again. That's why I don't bitch or complain about anything. It's not going to get anyone anywhere in life.”
Ella: “Well, that's the good thing you learned from your mistakes, although your father said you hate arguments.”
Jerald: “Yeah, he does, trust me. I'm sure it wasn't easy for Rodrigo to lose his rag like he did, but he hasn't done it since and takes losses like a man.”
Ella: “His attitude is making him a real man. Besides, he's doing everything for me, cleaning the house, going food shopping. He does a lot more than you think.”
Rodrigo nods at his skateboarding friends and Ella of them telling the truth of Rodrigo's past life that Ella knew nothing about. Of course, they only started dating for a few months and their relationship has only grown stronger each day. Rodrigo thought about something else that was out of the blue for him, something he wasn't expecting.
Darius: “You saw a ghost again?”
Rodrigo Afonso: “I'm in a Roulette title match against Eddie Lyons. What have I done to deserve that match against him, honestly?”
Jerald: “I know you've lost matches, but you put in hard work, you don't moan or complain and you don't trash wrestlers unless you have to. You get in the ring and wrestle.”
Rodrigo Afonso: “SCW staff tell me I should speak on the microphone when I've not got wrestling matches a lot more to promote matches, but the videos I do are more than enough. I don't need to say more than what I've already said. Heck, I hate being interviewed for skateboarding at times, but I do it because I have to. I don't luckily in SCW.”
Ella: “You've fought him before, haven't you?”
Rodrigo Afonso: “Things are very different this time, he's beaten Peter Vaughn for the Roulette title, I haven't. I haven't come close on beating Peter.”
Jerald was the kind of guy that makes slight comments about people at times, even was a bit mean to the thirteen year old kid who beat Rodrigo in the X-Games competition for skateboarding. Anyway as he was a tiniest bit drunk, he says this.
Jerald: “Eddie Lyons is one boring fucker. All he talks about is wrestling. Like does the dude have a life besides wrestling?”
Rodrigo Afonso: “Hey dude, that's not cool. Eddie and I have respect. Even if he talks only about wrestling, nobody should judge him for that. Besides, he's a Roulette champion. I respect the dude and consider him as my friend. Truthfully, I wish I was facing the other champion who's from the UK.”
Ella: “I know, but that's the situation you got in front of you.”
Darius: “She's right, you know. Even I thought Jerald's comment was out of line, but he didn't know like I didn't you two legit respect each other. I can see his point that having friendly matches isn't thrilling to watch.”
That was the problem with wrestling, there wasn't really many enemies in the business these days and Rodrigo saw that. But he was too fragile and small to be an asshole wrestler. So he had to be a people's fan favourite.
Rodrigo Afonso: “Each time we've wrestled, we have torn the house down, for sure and I know what you mean. But my size and fragile structure on top of being a father to my kid soon prevents me from being an asshole. I don't think it would represent well for my kid. I can't afford that right now.”
Jerald: “Dude, I was just busting your balls, but I do think Eddie is boring as hell. The amount of stuff he talks about is purely wrestling, but at least the Roulette title makes up for the match you both will have.”
Rodrigo Afonso: “Wrestling Eddie is not dull, he was my first ever opponent and anything he'll say about me, I'm not going to disagree with him on.”
Rodrigo was already feeling uncomfortable and walks away from the living room as he didn't want to argue with Jerald about his feelings on Eddie anymore. He goes to his room and lets the lads get used to Ella and the pressure of being a Roulette champion and beating Eddie pretty much was on his mind a bit. Ella came into the room and relaxed Rodrigo with his thoughts and forgot about it as the skateboarding lads went to the hotel to get some sleep.

I have no excuses to make Eddie youtube.com shoot (Online)
“I know, I've under performed a lot as of late and I literally have no excuse for slacking off, but the truth is, I don't deserve this title match against you, should be you and Entity for the Roulette title. I literally have zero excuses and you'd be right with everything you'll say to me and I'm not going to disagree with you.
But at the same time, it proves I don't really care what people think and I clearly don't like the thought of responding to everything you say. I mean look how badly I struggled to reply to Carter, I hate that and it's why I prefer to do one video to say everything I have to say. Eddie, you know I respect you and I know you'll tell me the truth on things may seem they are, but there is a reason I won't say as it has nothing to do with wrestling or skateboarding for that matter that my attention isn't with wrestling at the minute.
But I leave things there since I don't want to talk about it. I can't overlook the fact beating Peter Vaughn for the Roulette title was impressive. Everyone has tried and failed, but you succeeded and done it well. I'm sure it's going to motivate you to bring everything out of you to go out and win the match. But while I feel I'm undeserving for this title match, I will bring everything I have out of you.
Why? To prove people like you wrong every single time I step into the ring. A lot of people said I would never make it as a wrestler and I made it by holding a briefcase. I got plans for that and I'm not telling anyone, not even you what I'll do with it. You may have been successful with the Roulette title. I know it's cliché to say this, but I can break your title run in half even after underperforming.
Just because a wrestler underperforms, it doesn't mean you'll have this win in the bag, despite you being a threat because of the fantastic win you gotten over Peter. I couldn't find a way to beat him, but you did somehow. Maybe it's because you have the support of your wrestling school and family. I had to go all the way to the United Kingdom to do wrestling training because there's no wrestling schools in Portugal.
Many Americans, Canadians, Australian, British and a German wrestler have won this title, but there's not a single Portuguese wrestler that has won the Roulette title. I don't recall a Portuguese wrestler winning a wrestling title full stop because it's rare anyone from my country that breaks into the wrestling business. That's the big thing that we're different on.
But I got a chance to prove to my country and United States as a whole that I can become champion without wrestling school family supporting me. The only support I have when I go to wrestle in that ring is myself. I go into wrestling you on my own with dignity and do everything I can to upset you and win the belt because that's a big thing you've done and I haven't. I have a briefcase, but I do it when the time is right and when I'm ready.
Maybe beating you for that title will prove I'm ready to be a champion, maybe beating you will lead me to facing someone on the roster I've always wanted to face, but your in the way of that. Beating Peter is impressive and I can't speak that enough, but I've done way more Roulette matches than you and that will be the factor of me winning this match, bringing everything I have into the match to defeat you. That's all I say because I hate talking lengthy to someone I have respect for and being the only guy on the roster so far I can consider being friends with.”
