Scene opens up with Matt Spears wearing just a pair of red basketball shorts and sandals. The skies are clear with a bit of wind blowing here and there. Matt walks around his back yard watering his small tomato farm he is growing. It was something his wife would do every year. Matt keeps it going as a way to remember her.
Matt who actually hates tomatoes grows them and then trades them with a neighbor who grows beans in their backyard as well as jalapenos. As he enjoys the weather he hears commotion in the alley with a group of dogs barking. At first Matt thinks nothing of it other than some neighbors walking their dog in the alley that happened to me barking at each other as they cross paths. This turns out not to be the case as Matt can hear what looks to be a scuffle before a tiny dogs climbs his gate and goes into his backyard running for safety.
Matt stops watering as he sees a small dog running down the path of his pathway that leads to the stairs going up his house and the other stairs going down to the basement. As Matt decides to go towards the door to see where the dog went, he sees two pitbulls trying to jump his fence.
Matt takes his holes and starts spraying towards the gate that the pit bulls are trying to jump over to get them to back off. The two pit bulls stop and our heard barking even more fiercely as they clearly want nothing more than to attack the smaller dog. Matt continues to spray the two dogs and they eventually give up and run away.
Matt goes over and sees the small dog shaking and scared for its life in the corner by his basement door as he tries to approach it he hears the same two pitbulls trying to climb his fence again. Matt whistles for Wrigley to come out the house.
The Saint Bernard runs the back patio and goes down the stairs and heads towards the fence barking at the two pit bulls. At first the two pit bulls continue to try and climb the fence before stopping to bark back at Wrigley. Matt grabs the small dog and open the basement door to let the small dog in the basement then locks the door and heads back towards Wrigley with the garden hose to spray the two pitbulls down to get them to leave.
After about 5 minutes the two pit bulls decide it's not worth it and take off down the alley. Wrigley goes back inside the house to the upstairs patio about 90 seconds later Matt here's the small crying loudly. Matt runs downstairs to see that Wrigley is going up the stairs holding the dog by his neck. Matt runs up the stairs behind them only to see that Wrigley drops the dog inside his water bowl and then goes to the other side of the kitchen to lay down watching the small dog. Matt realizes that Wrigley is just trying to get the dog something to drink. The small dog shakes and fear at first and then starts to drink the water around him.
After the small dog takes his filling of the water it starts to bark as it is too small to hop over the water bowl. Wrigley gets up and grabs the dog to remove it from his water bowl and places it on the ground. The small dog realizes that Wrigley is friendly and starts licking Wrigley's paw clearly to Matt this is the small dogs way of showing gratitude.
Matt: I’m not keeping him Wrigley, but hey when Alana comes to pick you up she can take your new friend with her.
Wrigley takes a mouthful of his food and spits it down to the ground so the small dog can eat.
Matt just shakes his head as he walks past the kitchen to head back to the patio to go through the door and back to the backyard to continue watering his plants and the grass field that he has.
As Matt grabs the garden hose he hears someone yelling a name down the alley. He then hears him yelling a name following with come here boy. Clearly Matt realizes that this individual in the alley must be looking thier their dog. Putting two and two together Matt puts the garden hose down and walks over to his double door fence. He opens up the fence and yells at the gentleman whose about three houses down facing the opposite direction so he can turn around.
The man turns and looks at Matt and ask Matt if he has seen a little brown dog running around. Matt nods and explains to the gentleman that the small dog was being chased by two pit bulls and that the small dog climbed his fence for safety. He informed the gentleman that Matt has the dog in the kitchen with his dog as his dog Wrigley is feeding the smaller animal.
A sign of relief as shown on the gentleman face as he explains to Matt that he was walking his dog when two pit bulls came out of nowhere and started chasing his dog. The gentleman was not able to catch up so he was not sure which direction the dogs took off to.
Matt welcomed the man into his backyard so that way he can pick up his dog. Matt whistles for Wrigley to come out, as Wrigley comes down the stairs for small dog follows but stops at the stairs as it is too small to climb down.
The smaller dog starts to bark which makes Wrigley go back up the stairs and grab the dog by the neck to bring him down the stairs. The smaller dog sees the gentleman and runs right towards him. The small dog climbs the gentleman's leg as he bends down to pick him up once the dog reaches his knee.
The gentleman then introduces himself as he extends his hand out to Matt.
Chris: Name is Chris, thanks brother.
Matt: Brother?
Matt says with a bit of confusion as he's never met this man before. Chris points at Matt's right arm Matt looks down at his tattoo and then Chris lifts up his sleeve. Matt sees the same identical United States Army Ranger tattoo.
Chris: I just moved here from Idaho, been out here for about two weeks now, still trying to get used to the change of pace from the very small town where everybody knows each other to a fast-paced city like this. It's good to know that I have a brother nearby, I live 2 blocks down just behind the Cozy Diner on Diversey ave.
Matt: Nice to meet you Chris, hopefully you enjoy your new home as I can assure you it is totally different than what you are used to.
Chris: Yes I have noticed, but that's actually why I decided to move out here. I got tired of living in a town where the population was just 200. Now I'm in a building, a building that has about 200 residence all together. It's a very good welcoming shellshock for me.
Matt: I bet.
Chris: I took the apartment over the phone as I just needed something to get away, my only regret from doing that was that I didn't realize I didn't have a backyard of my own, so not only do I have nowhere for my dog but I don't even have anywhere where I can just sit back relax and grill me some food.
Chris says with a chuckle.
Matt: Well if you're in the mood for some barbecue then why don't you stop by a little later as I actually have some buddies coming over to hang out and watch the game. You're more than happy to stop by and you could bring your dog with you as Wrigley will still be here. One of my friends that’s coming is the owner of wringley and will be leaving with her once the game is over. In the meantime it will allow the two to hang out.
Chris: That would be great. Should I bring anything?
Matt: We should be alright, I have enough food and somebody's bringing drinks so everything will be covered. I have wings and steaks to grill and will get started 20 minutes before the game starts so that some of the food will be ready by game time.
Chris: Okay, I'll tell you what, I'll be here 20 minutes before the game starts, and I'll stop by the Riccardo's grocery store down the block and pick up two slabs of ribs as my donation for this BBQ feast for tonight.
Matt: That works, when you get here just come through the back as I will have the garage door open.
Chris: Great, I’ll see you then.
Chris takes his dog with him and leaves through the fence door he walked in through to walk back North in the alley to head back towards his apartment.
As Matt grabs his garden hoses to water his plants and grass his phone starts to go off. Matt reaches into his pocket and sees that it is Orchid calling him. Matt puts the holes down to take the call.
Matt: Hey Orchid.
Orchid: Is everything okay Matt?
Matt: Yes, you all still coming by to watch the game?
Orchid: Yes of course, I am asking if everything is okay because I seen you left SCW.
Matt: No I didn’t, I take it I am not booked at the next show huh?
Orchid: You are no longer on the website roster Matt.
Matt: I was never added to the roster, Jon Dough was.
Orchid: Okay, let me explain it this way. Jon Dough is no longer on the roster.
Matt: You sure, I swear he didn’t quit. Sure Jon lost to a mini me but he didn’t quit.
Orchid: Well you’re nowhere to be found on the site outside of your past accomplishments.
Matt: Oh well I've never accomplished anything that would have been Jon Dough.
Orchid: Don’t be a smart ass, you know I mean Jon Dough!
Matt: I was just making sure.
Orchid: Do you prefer I put Song on the phone instead?
Matt: No, I don't. Look, you may have just overlooked something. I’ll check it out and see what is going on.
Orchid: Okay, we will see you in a bit.
Matt hangs up the phone and picks up his garden holes to finish watering his plants and grass.
Jon Dough: Yo!!!!
Matt: What do you want?
Jon Dough: For you to go inside and log in to see what the hell Orchid is talking about.
Matt: What's the rush? I don't see the difference between doing it now and 30 minutes from now.
Jon Dough: The difference is rather you want to put up with me in your ear the who time or not.
Matt: Shit, I guess you have a good point.
Jon Dough: Besides the plants and the grass haveenough water already.You’re going to just end up killing your plants if you keep watering them.
Matt: Okay, Jon, we’ll go check it out.
Matt drops the hose and makes his way back in the house as Wrigley follows behind him. He walks through the back patio, through the kitchen, passing the dining room so that he can get to the living room were his laptop is being charged. He takes a seat on the three-person sofa and opens up his laptop to login to his work site to see what exactly Orchid was talking about.
As he opens up his internet browser he goes to his bank account first. He logs in and sees that he had just received a deposit from Sin City wrestling. This pay would be for the next upcoming week so Matt is now wondering if he is really fired or are they just going to pay him for the remainder of his contract which expires this October or is Orchid just playing a joke on him.
He opens up a new window to get to the SCW site. At first he has trouble logging in but that is the norm when he tries to type his password in to fast. He tries it a second time and is able to login successfully.
He doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary as it looks like he still has his credentials. he goes and checks to see the roster page that all of the fans get to see as that is always the most current way to view who is still with the company. Matt notices the new line up, he decides to go there first and sees Jon Dough is not booked. Matt then checks the roster and sees that Jon Dough is not listed anywhere.
Jon Dough: holy s*** Orchid was right, but I didn't quit they must have fired me.
Matt: What did you do Jon?
Jon Dough: I didn't do anything I had a match and I didn't come out victorious in that match. I lost it for me and Kira, I went to the back stood by myself as I couldn't believe that a little person was able to dominate me that way, which is weird that I was even in a match against him seeing how this is a company that is very strict on not having men versus women because it's not ideal even though it is commonplace in the wrestling world.
What's not commonplace in the wrestling world is for a normal sized person to take on someone who is looked at as a little person but yet they allow that to happen so go figure. And he got the better of me that's all that happened, I don't know if that was enough for them to let me go or not but you just said that they are paying you for this upcoming week so I guess if I am fired they're still willing to pay the rest of this contract out.
Matt: So now what?
Jon Dough: Now we go get my mask and a camera.
Matt: What are you going to do now?
Jon Dough: The only thing I know to do and that is film myself explaining too Christian Underwood and Mark Ward that I will be taking the opportunity this coming Sunday to cash in the Golden Briefcase for the vacant Roulette Championship.
Matt: If you're no longer listed as a member of the roster I don't think they're going to allow you in the match.
Jon Dough: Well the contract is already signed by both of them and myself and technically it is good until summer extreme even though they said I had a year and they were closed for 3 months which means I've only would only have 9 months to cash it in.
I'm just going to go ahead and cash it now because their signature is as good as gold as far as I'm concerned. They have no reason to not honor their very own signature on this contract. They also stated multiple times that I can cash in this contract at anytime I want so I'm going to do just that. Now we will see what happens from there until then get my mask and a camera.
Matt gets up and walks out the living room and threw the dining room to get to his bedroom. He grabs the mask from the top dresser, Matt walks to the other side of the room passing up his king size bed that hugs the wall opposite of the two windows in the room.
He opens up a closet door and gets Jon’s hoodie and black cargo pants to get into Jon Dough mode. Leaving the mask off he puts the hoodie on and takes off his red basketball shorts to change into the black cargo pants.
Matt leaves the bedroom to get to the dining room were he has his camcorder at. Matt places at the camcorder on a camera stand and points it towards the middle of the living room. Matt takes the remote for the camcorder and walks to the living room.
Matt: You sure you want to do this?
Matt gets no response as Jon takes over his body and puts the mask on for himself. He hits record on the remote…
On Camera
We see Jon Dough in his wrestling attire. The camcorder automatically adjusting itself to the lighting as all seven windows in his living room has the shades wide open with a massive amount of light coming from the Sun directly into his living room. We can see a brown three-person sofa behind him with the matching loveseat to the right and a different shade of brown recliner to the left. The camera pans to the right just a bit, we can see half of his replica SCW Tag Team Championship as well as his Golden Briefcase.
Jon Dough: Hello everybody, I'm sure by now you've all realized I'm no longer a part of the SCW roster. Clearly there is a confusion somewhere. But then again I think most of us have been confused buy what's been going on lately.
You see yesterday I saw all hell has broken loose with Ben Jordan, he went out there and said a few things. Things that everybody seems to agree with, funny though when others have said that, the same people that have been the one chewing people out hell, Ben included.
But since it was Ben Jordan that said it, all of a sudden everybody agrees with him. Ironically when I was saying some of the things I got chewed out, one of the things I got chewed out on was when I accused the company of having a Inner Circle. Now Ben Jordan never said anything about an inner circle because he was one of the few that was disappointed in the fact that I was taking it in that direction.
Those that I found to be in the Inner Circle chewed me out big-time for that statement along with everything else I said. Ironically Ben makes claims like I said and how do I put this, hell I'll just say it, the Inner Circle I talked about all jump aboard and are now agreeing with him, funny how it took Ben to say what others have said for everybody else to agree.
But there's a difference between what I said and what Ben said. You see Ben feels like he deserves better while my argument was more that everybody be given opportunities not just myself not just Ben Jordan. So everybody does agree that Ben deserve better but when I say everybody deserves that I get chewed out. I'm sorry but I'm sure you fans rather you want to agree with me or not can clearly understand my point of view and this situation.
Mr. Jordan then went out of his way to let everybody know that in 4 years he was given one opportunity for the Roulette title. I agree that, that is unacceptable. He made it a point to let everybody know that he feels a certain way because there are men in this Roulette ladder match that have only had a match or two in the company along with another rookie in this match while someone like Ben Jordan has to take a back seat.
This is where it gets tricky for me, on one hand I agree with Ben Jordan, he should have been given the opportunity but on the other hand when I see names that are brand new to the company given an opportunity for a title, well I was the one that always said everybody should be given a chance. Do I think some of them should be given a chance this early?
Maybe, you see that is not for me to say because this can be a way to showcase the brand new talent and for that I am not against it because if I was I would be contradicting what I have said from the beginning when I started showing my frustration.
When my frustration began I felt like I lost the respect from my fellow co-workers Ben Jordan being one of them, and while it hurt me on the inside to know that I ended up making enemies with those I put my body on the line with when we have these matches, I had to take a step back and realize maybe the way I was going about it wasn't the right way.
Yes I may have gotten a bit unprofessional but it got people talking and I got people to notice what I was trying to say even if they didn't agree with me like they agree with Ben Jordan now.
Now I see names that are new to the company given a chance so I cannot be against that as I stated but I can help add to that. You see to make sure that they are trying to give the opportunity of a lifetime to any of the superstars then this is my opportunity to cash in the golden briefcase.
As you are know, the golden briefcase can get cashed in at any given time. So since I am no longer on the roster due to some confusion I'm going to let it be known that I am very well a member of this roster where they want me or not.
When I cashed the golden briefcase, I plan on becoming the Roulette champion. In doing so that means one of two things. Either they're going to fire me officially after I win and continue to pay me to sit at home with my guarantee contract that expires in October or they're going to let me ride this out until somebody takes the title away from me.
Some will suspect that I won't be the Roulette Champion for long because the first thing I would want is to offer a championship match to a fellow competitor. Mark Ward and Christian Underwood make no mistake about it, I understand I have no power to book matches, the only power I have is to cash in this golden briefcase at any given time which is what I will be doing this Sunday.
So this is my request to the company that I have been a part of for so long. After I become the new Roulette Champion I would like my first Challenger to be Mr. Ben Jordan himself. I want to give him the opportunity that he deserves, only I'm not jumping on his bandwagon like everybody else you see. I'm doing this for an additional reason outside of that.
Right about now everybody's probably trying to figure out what other reason can there be so I will take the time to explain it. About 2 years ago the tag team division was not at the peak it once was. I came in with a partner and became the tag team champions.
I then went to Twitter to make it public that there are new champion and we are looking for new talent. Every champion before me didn't bother to do that, instead they just wanted to be Champions in a Division that was non-existent or dying out.
You see when there's no competition it allows you to be the champion that much longer. That is not the way I operate, I wanted to be able to defend my title every chance I could with as many different teams as possible. Was I going to sit here and beat them all? No, but it's not about winning or losing as it is about giving the fans great matches and in order for me to do that I needed tag teams.
Unfortunately teams came, I lost the title and then the division went down hill again from there. I guess I should have just kept the titles because then the division would have been alive, but of course that would have took me being able to hold the titles with Eyesnsane.
For those wondering why I am even bringing this up, it's really simple who better for me to defend the Roulette title against then Ben Jordan himself, the very man that I took the Tag Team titles from, the very man that had a partner, and with my partner we started to put on one hell of a series of matches.
Only it never really reached its climax as it could have. So Ben Jordan, I hope your watching this and you sit there and say to yourself... Jon if you win, I would take that challenge... Deep down Ben Jordan knows it will be one hell of a match, he knows what we can do in the ring, as we done in tag team matches. Only we really haven't had a singles match so what better way then to end this chapter then with a one-on-one match for the Roulette championship!
I can sit here and go on all day about how great of a match that would be but the truth is, everybody already knows how great of a match that would be. Even those that are riding Ben Jordan’s coattails right now will have to admit it's going to be one hell of a match, even though I guarantee you they all feel Ben Jordan would wipe the floor with me because, it's Ben Jordan.
Now I know what some, if not the majority are thinking. They're all thinking what makes Jon so sure he would be the next Roulette champion?
Look I am not taking anything away from the man already in this match, but I have the advantage over everybody else as I do not have to start the match with everybody. I can come in at any given time and cash in this briefcase. Which means I can wait until all the competitors have knocked themselves silly and are all laid out on the ground. All I have to do is then run down the ramp and give the referee my briefcase, climb the ladder and take the title.
When you have that much of an advantage you can't help but think that, yes, Jon will be the next champion, it's just logical common sense. And as much as others might find that to be cheap…
Jon pauses for a second before talking again.
Jon Dough: Hey if the company put these six men in a match for the title rather they are rookies, men in just their second match, a former champion like Joshua or a top talent like Chris Crippler, clearly the company sees something in these men. So I have to take precaution because if I slip up I will just end up wasting my opportunity and that is the last thing anybody wants to do when they're cashing in the golden briefcase.
So, yes, after some thought it is official, I am officially cashing in my golden briefcase for the vacant Roulette championship, I plan on walking out as champion and hope that Ben Jordan will take this opportunity to return and accept this match I place in front of him for the Roulette title.
If Ben Jordan decides he does not want to return for this match then there's nothing else I can do. Only now it will be hard for him to say he was not given an opportunity when one is being handed to him by the champion who knows that Ben Jordan will make one hell of a competitor.
Jon smiles at the camera
You know Ben Jordan, if you agree to this, at least now if I use a steel chair it would be legal seeing how it is the under Roulette rules!
I close this by saying that I look forward to being the next Roulette Champion. I look forward into starting a new chapter in my career with this great company. It has been a long time coming and it has been well worth the wait. Unfortunately for Chris, Caleb, Joshua, Ty, Nick, and Mr. Cross, my time to shine is now their time will be at a later date.
Off Camera
Jon hits the button on the remote to turn the camcorder off. He takes the mask off and tosses it on top of the recliner.
Matt: All done?
Jon Dough: Yes sir!
Matt: Great, so I will take a shower now and then get the grill started as I have about an hour before everyone starts to arrive.
Jon Dough: Do what you got to do, I'll be in the back of your head just chilling, but I will come out when Orchid comes just so I can say hi after that I'll go back to my little shell as I prepare mentally for this Ladder Match. I expect you to prepare us physically.
Matt: I always get my workout on!
Matt walks over to the camcorder and attaches it from the camera stand. He takes the camcorder and a USB cord and can mix it to his laptop so that he could download it onto the company site.
Wow that's being downloaded he goes and gets his shower already as he prepares for his evening hanging out with your buddies.
