Sunday, November 11th, 2012
The scene fades into the backstage area of the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, just moments after High Stakes II had gone off the air. The room the camera shot opens inside of is quite obviously a locker room and it becomes rather clear who's locker room it is, as a moment later the door bursts open and in storms in the now former SCW champion, Nick Jones, quickly followed in by his girlfriend Diana and the entirety of the Entourage. However, the group keeps their distance, as an angry Nick soon starts to unleash his anger on things all through the room; punting a folding chair across the room before taking and off a bench and smashing it against the concrete wall, and then taking the couch setup in the room and flipping it over with one quick, fluid motion. Diana is the first to move in closer, but still keeps a little bit of distance as she innocently holds her hands out as she seems to try to calm Nick down.
Diana: Come on, baby. It'll be alright. This is nothing but just a small bump in the road, you'll work it all out.
Nick turns towards Diana and glares at her for a few moments, not saying a single word. Nick then eventually turns back around and goes to grab the TV off of the stand it is on in the corner of the room. Upon seeing this, Diana quickly turns towards Tony and simply nods her head towards him. Tony, clearly understanding what is being asked of him, quickly makes a bee-line across the room and comes up right behind Nick just as he's about to lift the TV. Tony then puts his hand on Nick's shoulder, holding him back just slightly as he speaks.
Tony: Listen boss...
Nick stops what he's doing and instead quickly knocks Tony's hand from off of his shoulder before turning around and shoving Tony. Tony, caught completely off guard, goes stumbling back and nearly falls over right into a glass coffee table, but just in time, Big B swoops in and catches Tony from behind before he goes crashing down. Big B gets Tony back up to his feet, but as he looks at Tony, it's clear that he is quite angry, as his face has turned red and he goes to go right back at Nick. Seeing what is about to happen, Big B quickly jumps right between the two men to stop anything from happening, putting one hand out into each of the chests of both Nick and Tony, however his hand quickly being slapped away by Nick the moment B touches him. Tony, on the other hand, doesn't fight it and instead stops and takes a deep breath, clearly trying to calm himself as Big B speaks to the both of them.
Big B: Come on guys, let's not let things get out of hands. It's been a tough night, but there's no reason for us to be at each others throats. We're all friends here, right guys?
Tony: Yeah, you's right... sorry boss.
Nick: Whatever... screw you both.
Tony: Come on boss, I's just tryin' to help t'ings out.
Nick: How about you do what the hell I tell you to do and nothing else, huh? I sure as hell don't pay you to think.
Tony: I ain't sayin' dat... I'm just sayin'...
Nick: Well don't say anything. Just shut your damn mouth. You're here for one reason and one reason only, because you provide some muscle. Beyond that, you couldn't possibly be more damn useless.
Tony: 'scuse me? What da frig did you just say?
Nick: What, did I stutter? Or did I use too many big words for you to understand?
With Tony clearly becoming more and more angry, Diana tries to once again intervene.
Diana: Come on Nick, don't be like that. What happened out there isn't Tony's fault you know.
Nick: Who the hell asked you? And funny thing, I pretty clearly remember that, thanks to the rules of the match, telling all of you morons to stay the hell away from ringside, and all I wanted you to do is take care of those schmucks in that crappy little knock-off stable. What, that wasn't clear enough for you? I had every plan to take care of all of that myself, yet apparently that wasn't good enough for you idiots, and you so had to come out, and as usual, did more harm than good and now look where the hell we are.
Diana: I understand you're upset, but don't start blaming all of this on us.
Nick: Why shouldn't I? Make all of the excuses you want, but the less you guys are around during my matches, the better I do. From the moment that match was booked, I never once had a problem with you guys not being around. I knew I could, and would, take that little punk Spike out on my own and yet the rest of you just couldn't let it go. Yeah, I get it, on your own you're all complete wastes that will never amount to anything in this world, so you can't stand letting me take care of things on my own. You want to make sure your face gets on TV and that people out there are talking about you. Well too damn bad for you, because when all is said and done, I'm the only damn reason any of you have made a single damn cent over the past decade, so I really give a shit what you want.
Tony: Funny, 'cuz when you first started out and you's didn't gots us around, you wasn't nothin'. You's only became da big shot once you's had us.
Nick: What the hell are you trying to say?
Tony: It's simple... you ain't win nuttin' wit'out us before and just like tonight, you's can't win nuttin' wit'out us now.
Without another word, Nick immediately goes to leap at Tony to attack him. Big B manages to catch Nick as he's going in and Tony steps back, just out of Nick's reach as he is swinging over B towards Tony. Big B then manages to shove Nick back as Diana runs right over and gets right up in Nick's face.
Diana: What the hell is wrong you with? You need to cut this crap out right now! Grow up damn it!
Nick quietly looks at Diana for a moment and then lets out a deep sigh before then looking past her towards Jimmy and Max, who are still standing over by the door. Nick proceeds to speak very quietly towards their direction.
Nick: I need the two of you to do me one small favor...
The expression on Nick's face and tone of his voice quickly change back to that of anger.
Nick: ... and get the hell out of here, and take her with you!
Jimmy and Max both stand there completely shocked and unsure of what to do.
Nick: NOW!!!
With that, the two of them quickly run over towards Diana and go to guide her out. Diana looks at Nick for a moment and shakes his head before following the lead of Jimmy and Max, as all three of them walk out of the locker room. As the door closes behind them, Nick quickly turns his attention back to Tony.
Nick: So what have you got to say now, huh tough guy?
Tony: Sorry boss, it's just...
Nick: I don't want to hear it. You want to run your mouth with that stupid non-english rambling bullshit? How about you back it up?
Nick steps towards Tony and then shoves him back. Tony looks quite frustrated, but tries to refrain from doing anything. Big B tries to get in between them again, trying to stop Nick.
Big B: Come on Nick, you really don't want to fight Tony, do you?
Nick: It doesn't really qualify as a fight if it's just me kicking the shit out of him does it?
Nick then goes to push past B towards Tony, but Big B manages to keep himself in front of Nick the whole time.
Big B: I'm not going to let this happen. Besides, if I do, you'll only regret it later.
Nick: Fine!
Nick then turns and starts to walk away, but just as soon as B lets down his guard, Nick spins back around and goes to take a swing at Tony, but Big B quickly manages to cut Nick off. Nick only sneers at Big B and without another word, goes right back over to the television, lifts it up and then smashes it down on the ground, sending pieces flying all over the place as the entire unit essentially explodes upon impact of the floor. Nick then turns and storms out of the locker room. As Nick walks out the door, Tony and Big B then turn back towards one another.
Tony: Dat went real friggin' well.
Big B: Really? You think so? That's good I guess.
Tony rolls his eyes before shaking his head, which seems to only confuse Big B. Tony then turns and walks off out of the locker room as well as Big B is left behind trying to figure out what just happened.

The scene opens up on Thanksgiving Day inside of the home of Nick Jones in Los Angeles, California. Inside of the kitchen is Diana Roberts, as she just finishes putting the last of the carved turkey onto a serving plate. The camera then follows Diana as she goes into the connecting dining room, which is seen to have a table that is already filled with the rest of the food for the Thanksgiving meal and has seated around it Jimmy Mason, Big B Jones, Tony Capicelli, Max Goldstein and, of course, Nick Jones. Diana puts the plate of turkey down in the center of the table and then sits in the empty seat next to Nick. Just as she sits, Nick goes to reach for the turkey, but is quickly stopped as Diana slaps his hand away.
Nick: What the hell was that for?
Diana: Don't be getting all grabby. Before we eat, we still need to go around the table and have everyone say what they are thankful for.
Nick: Oh yipee. I'll go last, because it's going to take a while to actually come up with anything.
Diana rolls her eyes, but doesn't bother to acknowledge Nick's last comment beyond that.
Diana: Well then I'll start. I am thankful that we can be back at our home here in LA for this Thanksgiving feast, and for all of us to be together.
Diana then turns and looks to Jimmy, who is seated to her left.
Jimmy: Um... yeah, thankful. I'm um... I'm thankful for all of the money we're making, baby!
A big smile comes across Jimmy's face as Diana lets out a little bit of a groan, clearly unhappy with Jimmy's choice.
Jimmy: Especially since we're still going to be making plenty of it, even though...
Jimmy suddenly realizes what he's saying and quickly stops speaking, cutting himself off. However, it's too late as Jimmy turns and looks to see Nick glaring across the table at him.
Nick: By all means... finish. Still, huh? "Even though" what?
The whole group gets quiet and Jimmy simply stares down at the empty plate in front of him, as Nick continues to stare at him. After a few moments of silence, Big B, who is seated next to Jimmy, breaks it by just continuing on around the table.
Big B: I am thankful to have so many amazing family and friends to spend such an amazing day like this with. That we could all come together and have such a joyous holiday only helps to make me realize how lucky we are all to have each other, not just on days like this, but every day of our lives.
Nick rolls his eyes as Big B goes on. Nick then takes his napkin off of his lap and starts to mock Big B as he pretends to start crying at Big B's rather emotional thanksgiving comments. After a little more of this, Diana elbows Nick under the table causing him to stop as Big B seems oblivious to the whole thing. As Big B finishes, Tony then continues on.
Tony: I'm t'ankful dat you's guys mades dis big meal for da whole group of us guys. I mean, it ain't nuttin' like dem big Italian feasts I'd be gettin' back home, but it still looks pretty friggin' good.
Diana: Thanks.
Tony: Hey, I'm just sayin' da truth.
Tony then turns and looks at Max.
Tony: You's up Maxi-Pad.
Max: Oh Gawd... I hate having such pressure. Well, um... I suppose I'm thankfull that I still have a month before I have to finalize Year-End. Oh Gawd, that's going to be terrible!
The rest of the group can't help but chuckle at Max's comment and his typically nervous state. With that, the attention then all turns to Nick, who's turn it is now to speak.
Nick: I've got it! I'm thankful you are all finally doing yapping so we can finally eat.
Diana looks annoyed at Nick as he digs right into the food. The others seem to hesitate for a bit, not quite sure how to react, before they all follow suit and begin to dig into the food. Everyone fills up their plates and starts to engage in regular small talk as the scene comes to an end.

The scene fades back into the home of Nick Jones. The camera shot is from the entry foyer of Nick's home, where all of the members of the Entourage and Diana can be seen going back and forth, carrying all sorts of various bags and luggage. All the while, a clear view exists straight into the living room of the home, where Nick sits on his leather couch, with his feet up on his coffee table and his eyes firmly locked on the television, as he flips through the channels. As this continues on for a few more minutes, Diana walks into the living room and stands next to the couch for a moment, waiting for Nick to give her his attention. After that never happens, Diana then proceeds to loudly clearly her throat.
Diana: AHEM!
The noise just barely grabs his attention, as his head does not turn at all, but his eyes can be seen moving in her direction for just a moment. Nick looks back to the TV as he then proceeds to talk to Diana.
Nick: Can I help you?
Diana: We're all packed up and ready to go.
Nick: Go where?
Diana: Vegas... you know, for Climax Control.
Nick: Oh. Well, you all have fun.
Diana looks rather confused by that response from Nick.
Diana: What's that supposed to mean? I got the guys to pack up the car for us so you wouldn't have to worry about it, but the shows tomorrow so we really should hit the road.
Nick: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear but, here's the thing... I'm not going.
Diana: What the hell are you talking about?
Nick: There's nothing else to it really, it's that simple... I'm not going.
Diana stands there seeming rather shocked as just a moment later, Tony comes walking into the room and addresses the two of them.
Tony: A'ight, car is packed... you's twos ready to roll?
Diana: Nick says he's not going.
Tony: Not going? What's you's talkin' about?
Nick: Just like Diana said, I'm not going.
Tony: Why ain't ya goin'? Ain't you's got a match?
Nick: See for yourself.
Nick reaches toward the table and grabs a sheet of paper, which appears to be the card for the next day's Climax Control, and tosses over to Tony. Tony grabs it and looks at it as Diana peers over his shoulder to read it as well. After a couple of seconds, they both look up looking rather confused.
Tony: You's ain't booked?
Nick: Nope.
Diana: Well I'm sure they'll have you scheduled for an interview of some sort. You know, with one of those dumb bimbos. Right?
Nick: Nobody has said a word to me about it, and do you see my name mentioned once on that card?
Diana: Well... no.
Nick: Exactly. If they can't be bothered, then why the hell am I going to worry about it? They seem to have no interest in having me there so I'm sure as hell not going to waste my damn time. If you guys want to go watch the show, have it at, but I could care less about hanging around a bunch of second-rate hacks who've got their heads so far up their asses they don't know what's going on.
Tony: Well screw dat. If you's ain't goin', I ain't gonna go neitha'.
Nick: Then feel free to join me.
Without another word, Tony plops down on the couch next to Nick and his eyes immediately lock on the TV. A second later, the front door opens back up and a sweaty and panting Big B comes walking into the room.
Big B: Well that's the last of it. The car is finally all packed up. All of everyone's stuff, so we're ready to go.
Diana stands there for a moment, quietly thinking things over before she turns to face Big B.
Diana: We're staying here. Go unpack the car, B.
Diana then walks around to the other side of the couch and plops down on the other side of Nick, with her eyes locking in on the TV as well. B can't seem to believe what he's being told, as he has a complete look of shock on his face before turning towards Nick.
Big B: W...what? B..b..but cuz....
Nick doesn't bother to let Big B to get another word in and doesn't even look away from the TV as he responds to him.
Nick: You heard the lady, get to work.
Big B looks as he's about to say something in response, but Nick quickly waves him off. Big B then lets out a big sigh and drops his head, looking down at the floor as he responds in a quite disappointed tone.
Big B: Fine.
With his head still down, Big B turns and walks away, heading back out the front door as Nick, Diana and Tony all continue watching TV as the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up over a full week later in the backstage area at the Newark Pavilion in Newark, California for the next week's edition of Climax Control. Standing by backstage is SCW Report Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Hi, I'm Ms. Rocky Mountains and I'm standing by backstage with the two-time former SCW Heavyweight Champion, Nick Jones.
The scene pans out to show Nick, dressed fully in his ring gear, standing next to Rocky as she turns towards him.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Now Nick, it seemed to have caught a lot of people's attention that you were not in attendance for last weeks' edition of Climax Control. Do you have anything to say about that?
Nick: You bet your ass I do Madam Mammaries. I've been keeping this company going for a year now and all it takes is one day of some schmuck stealing my belt, and this company thinks it get along without me. While I wanted a lesson to be learned. This company lives and dies by me and all it took was one week of Climax Control without Nick Jones for it to be a complete joke. Yet, meanwhile, I'm not in the building and it seemed that my name came up more than anyone else's in this damn company. Just goes to show you the real guys we've got around this place. The second I'm not in the building, everyone starts talking like real tough guys, but when I'm standing right in front of them, everyone is too damn scared to say a word. It's a company full of spineless cowards and last week told that story perfectly. Last week they thought they could run their mouths without any consequences, but I can promise you that they're going to learn the very hard way that this isn't true.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well after just one week off, you've been booked in one of the night's biggest matches as...
Nick: Are you kidding me with this crap? Give me a break. These morons were smart enough to book me again, I'll give them that, but what did they do? These idiots put me in some second tier match? Have they lost their minds? I have been THE main eventer for this company for the entire year and now I'm placed in some match of some nonsense and, no offense to my man Jordan because he's one of the only other guys worth a damn in this company, but seriously a tag team match? I should be headlining every show this company has every damn night, and doing it on my own. This is how they respond to not even booking me last week?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: But what do you think about your opponents? It should be quite the matchup and it has a lot of people talking.
Nick: Oh really? Is that so? Hell, I don't even know who my and Jordan's opponents are.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Really? You're facing Primetime Matthew Kennedy and Rage.
Nick pauses and turns and looks straight at Rocky, seemingly to analyze her face a bit.
Nick: Are you screwing with me?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No, why would I do that? Those are your opponents.
With that, Nick suddenly bursts into a hysterical fit of laughter.
Nick: These bookers must have lost their damn mind. Yeah, that's the way to draw in money, team me up with one of the only guys in this company worth shit, and then book the both of us against two guys who I have repeatedly embarrassed in this company's ring.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well Rage...
Nick doesn't let her get another word out as he keeps talking.
Nick: I mean, seriously, how many times have I beaten Rage? It's so many times I can't even keep track anymore. And Kennedy? For the longest time he wasn't ever even worth enough of a damn to be allowed in the ring with me, he finally kissed enough ass to get there, he got himself a title shot and he got thoroughly embarrassed. Tonight is going to be a night of reliving some nightmares for those two clowns. Can you guys seriously believe this crap?
Nick turns towards off camera and the shot pans out to show the entire entourage standing off to the side, and they all simply respond with a combination of nods, laughs and shrugs amongst the group. Nick then takes a moment to turn back towards the camera.
Nick: These two chumps have already learned first hand that it ain't braggin' when you back it up, because I'm not cocky... I'm just the best.
Nick then stops and seems to be just thinking to himself for a moment as he just shakes his head and chuckles.
Nick: Kennedy and Rage? HA!
Nick then bursts into hysterical laughter and walks off out of the scene. The entire Entourage goes to follow him and just as they are all walking out of the shot, Tony walks up to Ms. Rocky Mountain.
Tony: T'anks for dat toots... dats da best friggin' mood da boss has been in for weeks.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Um... you're welcome? I think.
Tony simply shrugs at Rocky before turning and walking out of the shot. Rocky watches them all leave as she simply shakes her head, not seeming to quite believe what just happened as the scene fades to black.
