 We open with an aerial view of the Kobe Green Arena in Kobe, Japan. The drone with the camera flies around the arena and then the controller returns the drone to where they are located and the camera shuts off.

The roving cameraman takes over and he enters the Kobe Green Arena. He comes upon the dressing room of James Tuscini. The cameraman knocks on the door and Uncle Pinky invites him in. Uncle Pinky and James Tuscini take a seat on the couch and the cameraman sets up his camera.

Before they can begin comments for today’s segment there is a phone call to the dressing room. Security is calling stating there is a woman at the entrance who wishes to visit with James Tuscini. James informs the Security person to allow the woman to come inside the arena but he asks the Security person to call back once the woman is in the Security office so that James can talk to her first. He hangs up the phone and he gives an odd look to Uncle Pinky.

UNCLE PINKY:  What’s the matter James? Looks like you’ve just seen a ghost.

JAMES TUSCINI:  I received a call from Security. There’s a woman at the entrance who asked to come inside and talk with me. I asked them to call me when she arrives at the Security office so I can talk to her first.

UNCLE PINKY:  Who do you think it is?

JAMES TUSCINI:  I haven’t a clue. It could be a Japanese fan stalking me. It could be someone Steve Ramone sent to try to attack me. I duuno. After that attack by Ramone last Sunday anything is possible.

UNCLE PINKY:  Although I don’t like Steve Ramone I have a feeling he won’t try to attack. After what he said in his segment recently he wants to win the Tag Team match so he feels that working with you for the win benefits him more than backstabbing you. You have to take into consideration that a person like Ramone is going to do what he feels is the biggest benefit to his career. Working with you to win the Tag Team match is the biggest benefit to him. Attacking you will only hurt him more than he’s already hurt.

Security calls and they put the woman on the phone. James puts the call on speaker so Uncle Pinky can hear what’s going on and the cameraman can capture the conversation in case this person is a set-up to an attack.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Hi this is James Tuscini. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Before I tell you that I’ll give you some clues.

JAMES TUSCINI:  You speak perfect English for a Japanese woman.

WOMAN ON PHONE:  I’m not Japanese. I’m an American citizen as you are James. In fact I grew up in San Francisco and I also live in the Mission District.

JAMES TUSCINI:  You seem to know a lot of about me. I hope you’re not a stalker or someone sent by Steve Ramone to perpetrate an attack on me.

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Oh, James, don’t be overly cautious. I heard you were working in Sin City Wrestling and that you are currently on a Japanese tour so I flew from San Francisco to Japan to see if I could visit you in person.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Sorry but I have to be careful. People in this Federation seem to enjoy attacking others and now that I’m the Roulette Champion everyone is out to get met. Since you like to play the mystery woman where are those clues you said you had for me?

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Do you remember going to school with a girl named Sandra?

JAMES TUSCINI:  I remember several girls names Sandra, Sandy, or Sandara while going to school. That was a long time ago so it’s hard to remember everyone.

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Do you remember a girl named Sandra who was in a lot of classes with you? She was plain-looking, dressed conservatively, wore glasses, and was a little on the chubby side? You know a person most would refer to as a nerdy geek.

JAMES TUSCINI:  As I said it is hard to remember everyone I went to school with as that was a long time ago.

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Do you remember a girl who was at all sporting events you were involved in? You were a Running Back on the school football team. You played Center Field on the school baseball team. And you were one of the top wrestlers on the school wrestling team. Does the cheer of GO JAMES GO! WOO HOO! bring back any memories?

JAMES TUSCINI:  Sandra. Sandy. I think I might remember you. Is your name Sandy Erwin?

WOMAN ON PHONE:  Yes, James, I’m Sandy Erwin. I’ve had a crush on you since Elementary School but I never approached you because you were popular, athletic, and handsome, and I was, well, chubby, geeky, nerdy, and shy.

JAMES TUSCINI:  I remember you now. You were chubby, shy, and looked like a geek nerd with your glasses, but deep down inside I knew you were a decent person. You seriously flew all the way from San Francisco to visit me in Japan?

SANDY ERWIN:  Yes I did James. I’d like to spend a little time with you while I’m here in Japan just to talk about growing up in San Francisco and to discuss your wrestling career. Damn I feel so stupid for flying all this way and making this request. I hope you won’t find me repulsive.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Sandy I never thought you were repulsive during our school years. I perceived you as a geek so I wasn’t interested because I was into sports and I didn’t think someone who was intelligent and technical would be interested in someone who was into sports.

SANDY ERWIN:  I guess that’s a polite way of saying you didn’t want to ask a chubby, frumpy, geek girl out on a date? Where can we meet?

JAMES TUSCINI:  The Security person will give you a map of the arena and he will mark on the map where my dressing room is located. We will be waiting for you.

SANDY ERWIN:  The term “we” must mean you and your Uncle Pinky. I remember your Uncle Pinky and how he took care of you and your mother when your father passed away. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Hope you will not be disappointed.

The phone call ends and James and Uncle Pinky patiently wait. Several minutes pass and there is a knock on the door. James opens the door and he comes face-to-face with…



JAMES TUSCINI:  Oh, my, you’re Sandy Erwin?

SANDY ERWIN:  Yes I am. I hope you are not disappointed.

Sandy steps back into the hallway and James gets a full view of her.



JAMES TUSCINI:  Me? Disappointed? No! You’re the same Sandy Erwin I went to school with? Wow! Things have a way of changing. What did you do?

SANDY ERWIN:  After High School I worked at a company in San Francisco that does financial investments and counseling for investors and I still work there. I fit in with the rest of the geek nerds there. When you started wrestling I followed your career and when you signed up with Sin City Wrestling I’ve been glued to the television to watch you in action. About five years ago I decided I didn’t want to be chubby, geeky, and frumpy, so I worked hard to improve my image. I ate well and exercised regularly. I got rid of the glasses and wear contacts. I learned how to apply makeup to enhance what I have. I’ve always had a crush on you James but I was so afraid to talk to you about it. Now here I am far away from San Francisco standing here like a fool and I hope you are not upset with me.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Sandy I’m not upset with you and there is nothing foolish about being honest and taking action on your feelings. For someone to do what you did takes courage, determination, and drive to accomplish. Being a wrestler who has courage, dedication, and drive, I admire what you did. You really didn’t need to change your image to get my attention. I already told you since you were technical and a geek I felt I wasn’t permitted to approach you because I was a sports person. However I must say that the changes you made are fantastic. Sandy you’re a beautiful woman but inside I know you are still the same courageous and dedicated technical geek and I accept that. Please come in and have a seat. I want to talk with you for a bit and Uncle Pinky wants to know more about you also.

Sandy Erwin enters the dressing room and she takes a seat on the chair next to the couch where James and Uncle Pink take a seat. As they chat to catch up on things we take a break.

The Network goes into a commercial break for their advertisers to promote their products. The Network then goes into a short pre-scheduled program on Japanese wrestling. After watching commercials and Japanese wrestling we return to the dressing room of James and Uncle Pinky.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Wow, Sandy, we caught up on a lot of things. I never knew you lived a few blocks from where I live in San Francisco and you enjoy playing golf and you like wrestling. Please stay with us while I present my comments for my match at Climax Control. When I’m done I would like to take you to dinner, just the two of us, so we can get to know more about each other. By the way how long are you here in Japan until you return to San Francisco?

SANDY ERWIN:  I’ll be at Climax Control this Sunday to watch your match. Then I fly back to San Francisco on Monday morning. I’ll give you my contact information and I ask that when you return to the United States that you will contact me. I hope you and I can continue this relationship.

JAMES TUSCINI:  I wish to continue this relationship with you Sandy. I’ve had many women after me since I started wrestling and I’m just not interested in them. I don’t want to deal with stalkers and women who throw themselves at me. That’s why when you appeared here and I found out who you are I realized you’re a special person. You’ve done what so many women have failed to do. You’ve managed to get my attention and you warm my heart. Please relax and let me finish my segment for my match and then we can go to dinner and talk more.

James and Uncle Pinky face the camera to present their information for their match for Climax Control on May 15th.

JAMES TUSCINI:  I wish to comment on something J2H said recently. Some may take his comment to mean that I’m afraid to face him since I decided to back off on my request to have a shot at the Heavyweight Championship since I’m now holding a Title Belt. Actually I welcome a chance to wrestle someone at his level as it would be a great learning experience. If you fail to learn from those at the top then you’re destined to remain at the bottom. J2H said he would be willing to place the Heavyweight Title on the line against me and that shows how confident he is. I honestly feel that others who have been here longer and have earned their way up the ladder of success should fact J2H for his Title Belt before I get my chance.

UNCLE PINKY:  As far as Casey Williams goes I want him to know that he can run away from James only so long before he gets scheduled for a match with James. Don’t try to claim you have matches already scheduled and that prevents you from wrestling my Nephew. All you have to do is ask Management to schedule the match and it’s a done deal. Keep looking over your shoulder and sleeping with one eye open as you never know what’s coming next.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Then we had Steve Ramone attack us in an attempt to steal the Roulette Title Belt away from me. The fight was broken up and I retained possession of the Roulette Title Belt. Then Ramone demanded a return match for the Roulette Championship against me at Into The Void V and Mark Ward granted him that request. However I have a feeling that Mark Ward has a trick or two up his sleeve for that match. Also last week on Hotwire we heard Tommy Knocks stated that he would like to see the Roulette Championship match turn into a four way match where it involves me facing Steve Ramone, Ryan Keys, and Matt Spears. If that match gets scheduled as a Four Way Elimination match I’m heavily favored to win. If it is a normal Four Way match where anyone can defeat anyone in the match and win the Title Belt even though they didn’t defeat the Champion then it would be anybody’s game. Also if the match was a type of Four Way match where the only person you can defeat to win the Roulette Title is me, the Champion, then again I have the overwhelming advantage in that the other three wrestlers in the match will be so busy attacking each other that I’ll win easily. We will have to wait and see how that match gets booked. However whether it is a Four Way or a one-on-one against Steve Ramone I will retain the Roulette Title Belt.

UNCLE PINKY:  This coming Sunday James will be teamed with Steve Ramone in a Tag Team match against Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson. We both know that Lord Raab and McPherson are tough competitors and they are not above bending the rules for their advantage. For the record James is a flexible wrestler and over his wrestling career he’s been teamed with some of the oddest characters in the business. In every case James has worked hard to work with everyone as a Tag Team partner even if they are the most whacked out wrestler on the planet. This Sunday we’re not sure what Steve Ramone and his thugs will do either before the match or during the match. I’ll state for the record that I didn’t appreciate being slammed up against the door and wall of our dressing room last week at the hands of those who work for Steve Ramone. Of course everyone noticed that it took two of Ramone’s thugs to keep me held back.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Steve I’m gonna make this so simple even you will understand. A Tag Team match is a team event. You’re not always teamed with someone you want to be teamed with. Sometimes you get teamed with a jobber, sometimes with a superstar, and sometimes with your enemies, but it doesn’t overrule the fact this is a team event. I was happy to hear you state that getting a win in this match is more important than backstabbing me and I appreciate that. Nice to know that you are willing to work with me to earn a win in this match as I am going to work with you to obtain that win. However, for the record, I wish to make two comments. The first is that I have the drive and determination to always do my best in every match and that includes our Tag Team match this Sunday. I’ll work hard to function as a team with you to defeat Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson. The second is that if you try to screw me over during the match, or if you perpetrate another attack on me before the match, I will leave you on your own in the match. Yes, Steve, you also mentioned that if you felt I wasn’t backing you as my Tag Team partner that you would consider leaving the match and leaving me at the hands of Raab and McPherson. I don’t believe either of us want that to happen so let’s work as a team and get the victory.

UNCLE PINKY:  Now we would like to comment on Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson. We know you are a rough and tough and violent wrestler Raab. We know that you love pounding opponents into submission. We know inflicting pain on opponents is your drug to make you high. Understand James is not coming into this match to be your sparring partner punching bag. James has faced tougher wrestlers than you in his career so be ready for some hard knocks.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Lord Raab I have no intention of dragging slowly along in this match so you can inflict damage on me. Where you have violence I have the agility. You may be able to inflict pain on an opponent if you can catch them and hold onto them long enough but I won’t give you that opportunity. From what I heard Ramone say it appears he wants to be in the ring with you to prove to the world that he can take you out. I have no problem with letting him do his thing. You may feel you are the epitome of a brutal and violent wrestler but I know that Ramone is just as violent and brutal and he will come out on top.

UNCLE PINKY:  On the other hand we have Samuel McPherson. I know you feel that since you are teamed with another wrestler with the same attitude and desire for violence that it works in your favor. The way I see it the clash of egos works against you.

JAMES TUSCINI:  If Ramone wants to be in the ring with Raab then I will gladly be in the ring with McPherson. Yeah it doesn’t always work out that way in a Tag Team match but that’s okay. I am flexible and work with whatever situation the match brings my way. I don’t want to take away the pleasure of the pin or submission by Ramone on Lord Raab but rest assured if I happen to be in the ring with Lord Raab and the opportunity presents itself for me to get a pin or submission on him then I will not jeopardize the win in the match to make a tag out attempt to bring Steve Ramone into the match.

UNCLE PINKY:  So what will it be? Will we see two superbly talented wrestlers in Steve Ramone and James Tuscini work together as a team to prove to the world they are talented professionals or do we see a clash where the match is jeopardized?

JAMES TUSCINI:  I’m looking forward to this match as this is my first Tag Team match here in Sin City Wrestling. I look forward to working with Steve Ramone to prove to the world that two opposites can work together for a common goal.

James and Uncle Pinky are done with their comments. They turn their attention to Sandy Erwin who has been patiently waiting and listening to their comments concerning their upcoming match. James stands up to escort Sandy to dinner so they can talk more about possibly turning this relationship into a serious one. They walk to the dressing room door and before they exit into the hallway James turns to Uncle Pinky.

JAMES TUSCINI:  Uncle after I take Sandy to dinner and we have a talk about things I’ll escort Sandy back to her hotel and then I’ll return. Sorry I can’t invite you to join us for dinner but our conversation is personal and I know you understand.

UNCLE PINKY:  Yes, James, I understand. I was a young man once and I know how it is to have a beautiful woman catch your eye. Take your time and enjoy your dinner and your talk.

James nods to Uncle Pinky and then they exit the dressing room closing the door behind them. The cameraman, who is still in the room, turns his camera to focus on Pinky del Ferrando.

UNCLE PINKY:  What you pointing that camera at me for? Turn your camera off and get out of the dressing room now!

The cameraman fumbles with the controls on his camera and he finally manages to switch off the camera and our television screen goes dark.
