Scene One: Falling off the horse.
Off Camera
Long Beach California
Last Week.
”Mother fucker” The deep, bellowing voice of Austin James Mercer echoes backstage as he steps into the locker room, his hand wrapping around the small wooden chair sitting in his way, with a flick of the wrist he throws the large chair sideways sending it crashing against the wall, it explodes into splinters as anyone in the room quickly vacates, except Alex Jones. He seems to stay calm, cool and collected as his protege and friend growls and stomps back and forth like a caged animal. His anger and frustration boiling over.
Alex smirks and shakes his head as Austin seems to not even notice him, until he speaks. ”You need to calm down.”
Austin turned, his long hair wet with sweat as it dangles down over his face. His teeth are bared like a growling dog as his hands ball into fists. The veins in his arms bulging as the blood courses up and down his body. He looks Alex up and down and tilts his head. ”Calm down?. I just let an opportunity slip through my fingers. A possible chance at retribution…” Alex nods slowly, staying calm as he slowly gets to his feet.
”Wolfslair is an idea Austin, bigger than us as individuals. So I win, I get that championship, we all do. You did your best and you tried your hardest, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Alex gave his friend a pat on the shoulder, Austin looked down and sighed, he seemed to calm down as Alex moved around behind him and started grabbing the bags. Austin runs a hand through his hair and walks towards the showers.
”You’re right, I took it too hard. I acted unprofessional. Alex just gave a small smile and turned towards the door leaving a towel and clothes for Austin. ”We all have those moments, I understand Aus, I do. You want to be the best and you have proved how good you can be. Your time will come...I promise.”
Austin smirked and walked into the shower as he heard the door close behind Alex. He stood in the hot water, going over the match in his head wondering if he could have done something different. Obsessing over it all.
Scene Two: Getting back on the horse…
On Camera
New York, New York
Present day.
”The frustrations with being a professional wrestler.”
Austin sighs as he looks over at his heavily pregnant wife Lisa and their now one year old son Marcus.
”I was at the top not that long ago. I won the Honor title, I was ready to take the wrestling world by storm and become the champion my family always thought I would be. I beat Mickey Carroll, I sent him to wrestling purgatory and exposed him as a one hit wonder. Where has Mickey gone from here?. He lost and disappeared, I lost and have done everything in my power to get back to the top. I beat Jake Raab and avenged my loss, I went toe to toe with Fenris, I did all I could to win that triple threat match. I have been consistent in what I have done. I have stayed where I need to be yet here I am now going into Blaze of glory against someone making their SCW debut….”
“Oh how the mighty have fallen.”
“Travis Levitt is in two title matches, and I’m here in a match against someone never seen by the SCW crowd and someone who wasn’t in any company SCW has known. But hey, I can’t complain right?. I need to be a company guy, the warrior Austin everyone knows who rose to the top. You know, Alex and Alicia are borderline arrogant and cocky, they say outlandish things and really make themselves look like world beaters. And they back it up. They show little respect to anyone and as such have this aura of champions and both of them get to fight for the top titles in SCW. I show respect to everyone I face. Except Jake, for reasons we all know. But I showed the utmost respect to Fenris...and what happened?...”
He pauses with a sigh.
”I failed. I put it all on the line and I failed. He was able to walk away with that title and instead of just demanding a title shot and receiving one like Jake Raab I wanted to earn my place in the fatal fourway at Blaze of glory and again, AGAIN, I failed. Travis and Lachlan are two of the best in the world today so I can’t really be disappointed. Lachlan is one half of the tag champs and Travis is a world champion in another company so what can I really say?. But then Blaze of glory was announced and I realised I was facing Vanu Naufau.”
“Now, don’t take it the wrong way, you could be an amazing athlete and a great star of the future but this match makes no sense, it’s a throwaway debut for you. It doesn’t advance my cause and to be honest, I would have rather ended up sitting out Blaze of glory and would have parked my 6’6 ass next to the catering table cause I wouldn’t of had to be out in front of people wearing very little.”
“Pizza is my friend…”
“But since I am being forced to wear tights in front of the masses I may as well make a show of it. See while I don’t see much in the way of advantages in this I am motivated. Because I am a competitor. If I’m booked, I will fight, I will wrestling and I will bust my ass. And that’s what you have to look forward to Vanu/ You’ll get a fight no matter what and we will all learn how good you are…”
