(FADEIN to Boogie Smallz listening to Dan Ryan’s response to receiving a match at Black Dawn playing on a TV in front of him. Smallz brads the remote and shuts the TV off and turns to the camera.)
BOOGIE SMALLZ: So the suspension is lifted. I pled my case to get a match at Black Dawn and it’s granted. The sooner I get out of this crooked deal, the better. Due to some shady ish behind the scenes, Ultratitle is now behind me. I was robbed; the entire world saw what transpired. Anything involved with me and Merritt has always gone sour. The guy has it out for me and proved it by hiring a crooked ass ref to handle my match. That ma’phuckin’ inbred redneck! Everyone knows I should still be in the tournament, so much for my leverage going into future contract negotiations.
(Smallz lets out a deep breath and shakes his head. He shrugs his shoulders and moves on to the next topic on his mind.)
Now I have a match at the pay-per-view for EP-Dub. But our fearless leader deems it necessary to give me a drug test because of my past indiscretions. He wants to single me out and try to use me as an example. I get it, I know the drill. Ryan flexes his muscle to try and show me who the boss is. He wants to make my stay in EPW as unpleasant as possible. Fine, do what you do. I got nothin’ to hide. I left that partyin’ lifestyle behind a while back.
But all of it does make me curious as to why Dan Ryan wants some of my piss? Is it really for a drug test or is it to fulfill his inner R. Kelly fantasy…so him and his wife can do some golden shower fetish sex while watchin’ pregnant midget porn with a Boogie Smallz cardboard cutout wearing a strap-on whizzinator propped up next to the bed for some three-way cuckold action.
Whatever floats your boat…in this case it’s my urine that’s causin’ the floatin’.
(Smallz smirks at his remark and shivers at the thought.)
All that ish aside, you go out and dig up a guy that hasn’t wrestled in I don’t know how long, the Apocalypse aka Gabriel Poe. Now we are far from being strangers. Believe it or not, the guy used to hang with me and my old Hip Hop Express tag partner. We fought together, smoked weed together, and did our best to wreak havoc in the CSWA. In the end, it was all for nothin’. That company was more jacked up than the Supreme Court approving Obamacare.
The last time we were both in EPW, he and his best buddy, Kevin Powers, attacked me from behind and cost me a shot at the World title. An act of cowardice that ruined our friendship and forever marked him as an enemy in my book. Maybe he was hurtin’ for cash or was just plain jealous of what I had done in the biz in such a short amount of time.
It was at Wrestleverse I, when this all went down. I was just about to put Beast away and win the World title, when these two crackas showed up and gave me a beatdown I haven’t witnessed since the ones I used to give to Christian Sands. I later learned the cause of all of this hatred and animosity. Never one to shy away from speakin’ my mind, I guess I ruffled a few feathers of my old boss and owner of GXW on several levels.
The first thing I did was show up on EPW television with the GXW Unified World title and without permission, challenged the EPW World champ to a unification match. After a couple of lawsuits were filed, a settlement was reached where Empire Pro had to censor any reference to GXW, including blurrin’ out the image of their World title whenever I was on EPW television flossin’ it. That nixed the deal on the unification and sent me into a fit of rage.
Then I went on a tirade and trashed my former employer, Erik Zieba, about his actions. And I let it all out. I didn’t hold back one bit. Another lawsuit was filed over the defamation of his character. Boo hoo, cry me a f*ckin’ river. I only spoke the truth and since when can a man not give his opinion, especially on a topic that he has first-hand knowledge of?
So Zieba’s panties were in a bunch because he lost everything. Maybe he made some unwise business decisions, perhaps he was livin’ too well beyond his means, but the guy went bankrupt. He tried to line up some new investors to keep his company afloat, but it didn’t matter. By that time, most of the talent he had flew the coup and flocked to EPW to start anew.
All but two guys that is. The Dark Carnival, Powers and Poe, reared their ugly mugs at the behest of their boss, Zieba, and tried to ruin my EPW experience. I got a little sidetracked; they got me off my game. I was paranoid, lookin’ over my shoulders, never knowin’ when or where those mofos would show up and try to jump me. But I got a little vengeance when Empire Pro let me battle Powers in a sanctioned match as opposed to battlin’ it out in the streets.
After a Power Bong and a three count, I won the match…but I knew the war was far from over. But surprisingly, in an instant it had ended quicker than it had started. Maybe Zieba went to jail for tax evasion. Perhaps the money he laundered from GXW was seized by the government in some sting operation. I just don’t know, but my hunch is the well ran dry. The overseas bank accounts didn’t have enough loot to properly fund his mission to destroy my career. I never got my revenge completely. There was one more guy that got in my way that I owe a little payback to…
Gabriel Poe!
(Boogie looks wild-eyed into the camera with the look of intensity over his face.)
So things have almost come full circle. They say time heals all wounds, but in this case that’s a bunch of corny bullsh*t! Those boys beat me down like I was Kunta Kinte and they wanted me to call myself “Toby”! Ish like that can’t be forgotten, it will never be erased from my memory, and Gabe…that is all the fuel I need to motivate me to beat your ass worse than you did mine.
Dan Ryan is bankin’ on you to shut me up. He wants you to knock me down a few pegs so he can feel superior to me and try to stop this star from shinnin’. You can’t stop the inevitable. No matter what you say or do, the unavoidable can’t be deterred. Winds of change are blowin’ into Empire Pro, much like when you and Powers were blowin’ Zieba tryin’ to get your spots in GX-Dub. You had to take the BACKDOOR route to gain your status with the company. And with this show being in San Francisco, you should feel right at home. (Grins.)
And how did I get to where I am in this industry? I was considered a joke. I had to fight and win to earn the respect of everyone. Every person I beat took me one step closer to the top and each win erased more and more of the image I had as a tag team wrestler.
Poe, if you have any thoughts of derailing my plans…think again! Because when we square off and you are on the opposite side of the ring of me, my prime objective is to destroy whoever is in my way. Right now…at this moment, all you are doin’ is runnin’ interference. Just an obstacle I need to overcome in order to take my rightful place at the top of Empire Pro. I will defeat you…I will once again be the man to carry an entire organization on his back!
And you? Well…I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s not as bad as bein’ the one that receives it!
At Black Dawn, I get my payback and then some. Beating you is the only option. You only have yourself to blame for this ass-whuppin’ you got comin’! I ain’t gonna forgive and forget. You made the mistake and now you must face the consequences!
BELIEVE ‘DAT!
