The voice of Simpson is heard speaking.
Simpson: Life has not been rosey lately for the man (?) who's promo you are about to sit and watch, the man known as James Huntington-Hawkes III.
The camera shows James face as he overlooks downtown Santiago. Cars race past, and life fills the street below.
Simpson: First, the Roulette title finds it's way around the waist of Thatcher Rex, a man who has been none too friendly to Master James since the days of his signing with SCW, secondly, Mr Ward decided that because of an attack on Mr Rex, Master James can no longer attempt to bring back the title to where he feels it belongs, which has set Master James in a foul mood. It has been a very trying time, as Master James tried to reason with Erik Staggs but to no avail, instead, Mr Staggs sent Master James and I, with Roxanne to Canada to accompany Misty. Why Ms... wait, does she even have a last name? Not to worry, while Ms. Misty was competing in the Super J Cup tournament, unsuccessfully, we were there to show unity. This has also been contributing to sirs bad mood. Now we find ourselves in Santiago, on the SCW Capitol Punishment 2013 tour, in a city of over five million people, diverse in culture, but Master James refuses to leave this wonderful penthouse suite and soak in the wonders of South America. It's a shame really, such a beautiful city, such a beautiful place.
James continues to stare in to the pool of life below him, a bitter look on his face.
Simpson: It's very rare to be in such a place, a million miles it seems from the harsh nature of the Las Vegas strip, and we have certainly been to worse places in the world, but I believe Master James once again feels like he doesn't fit in. The faction known as Dream Chaserz, that still embarrasses sir to this day, only Ashton Gibbs reached out to him then, he felt like a forgotten man, and Team Erik seems to be having the same effect on him.
James turns around, looking inside the penthouse.
JHHIII: Of course it does Simpson! My own team are worse than Matthew Kennedy costing Ace Baldwin a match. These people have cost me a chance to get my title back! It should have never left me Simpson, and these people cost me that. Have I got an apology? No! They just sent me to that God awful place called Canada. It has to be one of the worst places I have ever been, just to sit around and watch Misty lose to that Ben Jordan guy, and listen to her complain the whole way here! That's as much as they think of me. Also, why are you standing there talking to yourself? It's the first sign of craziness Simpson, and I'm the one who should be going crazy!
The camera turns around to see James' man servant, slash butler, slash bodyguard, Simpson, standing a few feet from the balcony door.
Simpson: I'm sorry sir, I must have been thinking out loud again.
JHHIII: Well your thoughts were accurate Simpson, I don't feel I fit in there. Erik Staggs can't even get me a shot at what was mine to start with! He's so far up Kevin Carter's butt, he's forgetting the rest of us.
Simpson: I don't think that's the case sir, Mr Staggs is the general in this war, he has to plan every little detail if he wants to achieve his goal. He is building from the top sir.
James fires an angry look towards Simpson, his eyes narrowed and his nostrils flared.
JHHIII: I SHOULD BE AT THE TOP SIMPSON! I SHOULDN'T BE LEFT TO GO TO STUPID PLACES LIKE CANADA TO SIT AROUND AND JUST GET COLD!
Anger fills James's voice as it flies off the balcony and in to the cool Santiago air.
JHHIII: HE IS MAKING ME LOOK STUPID! DOING WHAT THAT OTHER STUPID GROUP WAS AND TREATING ME LIKE A JOKE! I AM NOT A JOKE SIMPSON, I AM NOT A JOKE!
Simpson: You are not a joke sir, and you should take a moment to breathe. I merely meant that Mr Staggs has a plan for you, he must have a plan to get you involved in a big match this upcoming weekend.
James moves towards the door, stepping just inside.
JHHIII: You think putting me in the ring with that stupid old dinosaur, the magician and the crazy guy who talks to bears, is a PLAN?!?!? IT'S A DISGRACE!
Simpson: I believe Mr Staggs is planning on this one to be a way to show what you can do. In the grander scale of things, you will be facing three champions, two of whom are NWA tag team champions and the third, the roulette champion. A win here is all you need to fire you and possibly one of your team mates in to the tag team ranks and the other in to the roulette ranks. When you win this, not even Mr Ward or Mr Underwood will be able to ignore your talents sir. Mr Staggs has made this happen to show you that you can possibly step up in to higher divisions and stick it to his enemies that he has the talent on Team Erik.
James rubs his chin and walks further in to the room, walking across to a rather large bed and sitting on the end of it. James looks at the floor and back at Simpson.
JHHIII: How do you know this Simpson?
Simpson: Judging from the kind of man Mr Staggs is, it feels like this would be the way he would think about this matter. I may indeed be wrong sir, but for all everyone says about Mr Staggs, he seems to know what he is doing in this situation.
JHHIII: So why did he send me to Canada? I didn't have to be there to listen to Misty swear vengeance the whole way here, I follow her on Twitter you know, I didn't need to hear it face to face all the time. I wasn't in that ring when the NXT guy beat her.
Simpson: I feel Mr Staggs think you can learn a lot from both Ms Misty and Ms Roxanne.
JHHIII: Why do so many people have one name around here? That whole thing got ruined with Madonna and Cher.
Simpson: People just call me Simpson sir.
JHHIII: That's because no one cares what your first name is Simpson, not even me half the time. I'm sick of being the SCW joke! The joke of Team Erik!
James lays back on the bed, looking upwards at the bright, white ceiling.
Simpson: I think you should see this as a way to learn Master James. Team Erik is full of champions, former champions, full of people who have done so much in the wrestling business. This should be a golden opportunity for you sir to open your eyes and take in as much as you possibly can, to learn all you can about everyone, learn all you can about the wrestling business and how it can put you in good steed in your future.
JHHIII: I'm good enough now for this! I don't need to wait for the future or learn from anyone. I need to do this stuff now and show them all that I'm better than people. I should be the one handed a shot at Spike Staggs. I should be out there and beating everyone now Simpson, NOW!
Simpson runs his fingers over his bald head.
Simpson: Maybe you should start with this first sir, and see how we do.
James sits up sharply, looking across at Simpson and shaking his head slowly.
JHHIII: See how I do? Please Simpson, I'm not a child, I know the score, I know I'm going to win this. Despayre will be too busy talking to Angel to care, Gabriel will be trying to come up with the next thing to impress his girlfriend and Thatcher Rex will be too busy playing with his little dinosaur toys. In fact, maybe Rex and Despayre can have a play date. Despayre can bring his teddy bears, Rex can bring his dinosaurs and they can all re-enact Godzilla or something.
Simpson: Very witty sir.
JHHIII: I know, that's why I said it. I didn't say it not to be witty Simpson. I'm a funny guy, but these people don't appreciate that. They just look at me and make short jokes and ageist jokes, all because they're getting old and crumbly and I'm young and in my prime. That's what these people do Simpson, because they're not funny and I am.
Simpson: Indeed you are sir. Maybe we should go out and get some fresh air.
James looks across the room at Simpson and stands up, walking back to the balcony and stepping outside. He turns around to look at Simpson.
JHHIII: I am outside Simpson, this is fresh air. Why would I want to go out there with all the poor people and the people that smirk, and think I'm that idiot singer?
Simpson: To take in the splendor of the city.
JHHIII: I don't need to do that Simpson, if I want to look at this hell hole, I have Google maps on my phone. I could Google map Canada right now, doesn't mean I wanna be there again, it was cold. I don't know how anyone would want to wrestling in a place like that.
Simpson: You're no longer in Canada sir, this place is much hotter than Canada.
JHHIII: I don't care Simpson, I need to focus on my match cause these people take me as a joke. I don't get the advantage of most because they're jealous of my wealth and great lifestyle. They don't see that even if I didn't have that kind of money, I would still be much better than they are.
Simpson: Well sir, if you feel you should be focusing on your match this week, at least you have two very good partner.
James looks up at Simpson, his eyes narrow.
JHHIII: I have ONE very good partner Simpson, ONE. I have Giani, who will be a very good partner.
Simpson: Yes, it's always a good thing to be teaming with your friend.
JHHIII: I wouldn't call him a friend.
Simpson: Yes you would sir, you have done in the past and you missed Mr Di Luca when your little rivalry ended.
JHHIII: You was never to mention that to anyone Simpson.
Simpson: My apologies sir, but this could be the start of something good. A Huntington-Hawkes III slash Mr Di Luca tag team could dominate SCW sir.
James runs his fingers over his chin.
JHHIII: And what about this other person, the mystery person, what if he drops the ball and screws this up for us?
Simpson: Sir, you know who the mystery person is, he isn't known for screwing up.
JHHIII: Yes, but I can't say his name! There's lots of spies in South America and I wouldn't be surprised if that teddy bear is here hiding somewhere and listening.
Simpson: Teddy bear?
JHHIII: That Angel thing, he just appears when you don't expect him to.
Simpson frowns at James.
Simpson: Sir, maybe you need to relax for a while. I hardly think a teddy bear will be here listening in to our conversation.
JHHIII: That's what he wants you to think Simpson, then he just appears!
Simpson: I think I'll go get you a drink sir, something to calm you down and help you think clearer.
As Simpson turns away, James turns to face the city once more, looking down.
JHHIII: Help me calm down and think straight! I don't need to calm down and think straight, I know what I need to do. I need to get hold of Thatcher Rex and beat him and show them that I might not be able to get a shot at the title that should be mine, but I can beat their champion and make team SCW look stupid and weak. I will show them that their champion looks stupid and I should still be their champion, me, not Rex, me, no one else but me, me, me, me, me! I shall and will be beating Rex, that old man got lucky last time when he took my title, he will not get lucky again. I could beat him again, I did it before and he cried like a baby, it's the only reason he got another shot at my title, yes, my title, not his, mine. If he didn't cry and sulk, he'd have never ended up with the title, or getting lucky.
James looks down on the city below.
JHHIII: If all these people down there watched the show, they'll know how lucky he got against me. Very, very lucky. Well I'm gonna show that he can't get lucky like that again. I saw the preview, he picked Sinful Obsession to be his partners. He's clearly picking them because he knows they're better than he is so he's hiding behind them, being a baby and hiding behind better people. Once Giani and the mystery man distract those two, Rex will have nowhere to run. I will beat him, and then SCW will have to take away that stupid ruling of me not allowed to go for that title again. They have no choice when I beat him!
James smiles and looks in to the bustling city below him.
JHHIII: He can't hide behind the magic man and the teddy bear whisperer forever. I know Sinful Obsession have done so much and I watched them defend those NWA title in Canada but beating those guys, being on the winning team against those two guys, will show everyone that I can be on the top of this one. I watched the little love triangle with the magic man and that was meant to win matches.
Simpson: I believe that was to be on television and be noticed more sir.
James jumps around in shock, holding his chest.
JHHIII: Damn it Simpson! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Simpson: Sorry sir.
JHHIII: You will be if you do that again Simpson.
Simpson: Understandable sir.
Simpson hands James a drink, who sips at it. He looks at Simpson in the eye.
JHHIII: It doesn't matter who he picked as partners Simpson, it doesn't because on Sunday, the whole of Chile will be chanting my name, the whole of Chile will have seen me defeat three champions in one go. NWA tag team champions and SCW roulette champion, hasn't got a damn thing on me. Giani, mystery partner and I will show the wrestling world that we are the ones to keep an eye on, us, not these poor excuses for champions. I make a name for myself by beating these people Simpson, within an inch of their lives and everybody will love me for getting rid of the old dinosaur man, the guy who has his best conversations with a teddy bear, and the man who thinks magic is cool. Magic is for kids parties, not for wrestling rings. He should go make a living entertaining kids in stupid poor peoples back gardens, with cheap run of the mill party food, weak Walmart value juice and fat kids covered in spit covered cake! This is my night Simpson, this is the night my star rises and everyone will know I am just awesome. Everyone will finally sit up and take notice that not magic, not teddy bears, not dinosaurs can stop me. You hear me Simpson? You hear what I'm saying here? I'm going to win it all, and be loved by everyone in the world like I deserve. Everyone will know my name, everyone will see my face on T-shirts, everyone will be tuning in to Climax Control to watch me, not these other people.
Simpson: Indeed sir.
JHHIII: Then they will stop treating me like a joke.
James smirks, raising his glass toward Simpson, as the scene fades out.
