| San Diego, California- 4: 30 PM
We are opened outside in sunny San Diego, California. In front of the camera we see a square, white building. The camera pans out some more and a blacked out Dodge Ram appears on the screen and parks in front of the building. The front doors open, as well as the back, driver side door. Three people walk out of the truck. The three walk up to the front of the building and open up the front door. Inside we see a whole bunch of equipment, but the gym is not completed yet. The camera pan the whole room and then shows the three people in the front door, Rich Stone, Victoria Stone, and Team Quest instructor, Bryan Harper. Rich looks around the room, and take a deep breath, and walks farther into the room. Rich turns and looks at the other two. Rich: This is it. Franchise fighting, is finally going to be opened. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I mean, I love working with you guys over at Quest, but opening your own gym is just something that I never thought would happen.
Victoria walks up and puts her arm around Rich’s waist. Rich returns the favor by putting his arm over her shoulder and kissing her on the top of the head. Victoria: You never told me why you decided to open this gym. Rich: It’s been a dream of mine since day one. Since I got into MMA, I always wanted a gym of my own. I just love the fact that people like, have somewhere to go. By that, I mean just somewhere to get away from everything, and somewhere that we can go to better ourselves.
Bryan walks up and to Rich and takes a look around the gym. Bryan: This is impressive Rich. I must say that this could be one of the top gyms in Southern cali, after Quest of course. So have you got any people to be instructors?
Rich lets off of Victoria and walks over to on of the boxes. He opens the cardboard box and removes some training equipment from the box. Rich: That’s a good one can’t expect you to do it. You are busy over at Quest. I mean, I got a couple of guys so I really can’t expect there to be a line of applicants here. I don't like people, and they don't like me. It’s more of a mutual hatred. Bryan: Why do you hate CWA’s fan so much. They are their every single week, to support you. You loved the UFC fans. Out there signing autographs, kissing babies, and taking photos. In CWA, you don't even as much take a glance at any of them.
Victoria turns and looks at Bryan with almost a disgusted look on her face. Victoria: How can you ask that? They are all disgusting. Every single one of them. They don't know true talent when they see it. They cheer for guys that have no talent.
Bryan looks confused and points at Victoria while looking at Rich. Rich: That pretty much sums it up. Those people are not real fans; the true fans are ones in the UFC. They follow talent, not politics. They follow the person, not the character that is portrayed on television. UFC fans see us as fighters first, and then us as a person. They admire our work, and boo us if we don't perform well, cheer if we blow their minds with performances they don't believe. Bryan: Obviously, I struck a nerve with you two. If that is the case, why stay in CWA? Rich: It’s just too much. Honestly, I love pro wrestling, and I am grateful everyday that I am in CWA. I’m living a dream right now. Honestly Bryan, I'm just waiting for someone to pinch me.
A honk is heard outside of the building. Bryan: That’s my ride. Hey Rich, I’ll talk to you later. Victoria it was nice seeing you again.
Rich walks over and gives Bryan a handshake, and then Victoria gives him a hug. Bryan walks out of the front door and closes it behind him. Victoria turns and looks at Rich. Victoria: Have you figured out a plan for this week? Rich: For what my match; what is there to figure out? It’s a six man tag match against the stupid brotherhood, what is their to figure out? Victoria: Well for one your partners, Adams and the new guy, Nick Arsen.
Rich gets a bit agitated, but he maintains his composure. Rich: As much as it pisses me off I am on their side, I can put our difference aside if it means defeating the brotherhood. I kind of owe Adams an apology. I saw the replay of Redemption, he didn’t mean to screw me out of the title. He was actually trying to help me. Victoria: Look at you, Rich Stone, being mature about a situation that did not work in your favor. I know you better than you think Rich. That is the biggest load of crap you have ever said you don't believe that at all.
Rich looks down at the floor and then start to chuckle before looking back at Victoria. Rich: I want to believe that I really do, but it is just so hard to believe it. Part of me knows that it was in good thoughts, but most of me thinks that he was out there just to get me. Victoria: I can’t imagine exactly what you mean. Anyway, what about your other teammate, Arsen. A little unfair that he gets a main event match. In only his second week in the business. Rich: I hear that he is a former champion. So it’s not all that infuriating to me. Personally it is annoying. I mean, I had to scratch and claw, just to get in the car position that I am in today. This guys just waltzes in and he gets a huge match right of the bat. Personally, it offends me. Then again, when it comes it CWA management, not thing should surprise me. Since day one I have been held back from getting my title shot, and when I do all of a sudden there are two extra people that should not be there. Victoria: Speaking of people who shouldn’t have been there, you get to fight Joey Nicolas again. Rich: Oh yeah Joey, the poster boy of the mid-carders. The guy who gets everything he wants just by snapping his finger. One of those guys, who had everything they ever wanted in this world. The guy has picked on my last nerve. This kid acts so tough, but fifty bucks said he will hide behind his brotherhood buddies when push comes to shove. I beat him once I know I can do it again. He is making things personal with me. Honestly, who starts a feud over twitter? Seriously, who does that? Talking about we should name this place, the land of hopeless dreams. Pathetic! Grow up kid no one sounds tough over the Internet. Victoria: I understand what you mean. This kid gets everything he asked for while everyone else has to wrok day in and day out. Rich: exactly that’s why I opened this gym. So guys who don't have the pull with backstage, cant grow talent-wise. Their employers will have no choice but to employ them, and book them in the highest spot possible. That’s is why I am opening this gym. Take this guy, Matt Jones for example. He is the brother of Ultimate Pain. All he has ever done is carry his bags around the locker room and he is all of a sudden a main eventer. Does that make a damn bit of sense to anyone? It makes sense to CWA management. To them they would rather Jones then me, but here is what I going to do to him. I am going to introduce his face to my fist. I'm going to beat him so bad, he is going o wish that he stayed backstage. He is going to be praying that I show mercy upon him, and I won’t. He is going to have nightmares about me all because he dares to compete on m level. He dares to pretend to be a wrestler, and thinks he can do what I do best. You know better than anyone Victoria, there are fake wrestlers, and there are real wrestlers in a fake world. He is the first one of those. Victoria: I love it when you get all intense like this. Rich: I know you do baby. As I was saying before. Ultimate Pain, there is no need to get much farther into it. He is the CWA champion. He is holding what should be mine, and quite frankly, is mine, that CWA belt. He should not be paradign around holding, and bragging about what should not be his. That title belongs to me. It’s only a matter of time before I get my hands on him and I get to take my title from him. I'm just getting impatient in waiting for that day.
Rich hears a beep and looks down at his watch. His lloks surprised at the time. Rich: Crap, we got to get out of here. Victoria: Where are we supposed to be, if you don't mind me asking? Rich: Chargers game tonight. Victoria: Do we have to go its preseason? Rich: We are going to the game you have no choice, or you can walk home from here. Victoria: Our house is literally 5 blocks away. Rich: Just get in the car Victoria.
Rich shoots in and picks up Victoria putting her on his shoulders. She playfully tries to struggle away from his grip both of them laughing it up as her caries out of the developing gym. Rich carries her out of the door and Victoria somehow is able to shut off of the lights turning the camera black ending the scene. |
