::Brandon Jacobs is standing outside of Jonathan Marx’s room, the door is shut and he is talking to him through the door::

BRANDON JACOBS: This is going to get me in trouble, but this is JUST LIKE A WOMAN TO KEEP A MAN WAITING!

JONATHAN MARX: I know, I tried to be a Gentlemen and wait for her and I know she is a very busy woman, but we can’t wait any longer, sorry Linds.

BRANDON JACOBS: Are you almost ready Jonathan?

JONATHAN MARX: Almost and let me say, I look spectacular.

BRANDON JACOBS: This whole entire idea of yours to fight Lindsay creeps me out.

JONATHAN MARX: At least I found flat, comfortable shoes to wrestle in….

BRANDON JACOBS: I really don’t think you need to do this.

JONATHAN MARX: The last time I faced Lindsay Troy, as much as I tried to put in the back of my mind, part of me held back because I looked at her as a woman and a gentleman would never strike a woman….

::The door swings open and Jonathan Marx walks out with make up on dressed in drag::

JONATHAN MARX: … BUT A LADY WOULD!

::Jacobs is taken aback for a second, he gathers his thoughts and with a lump in his throat begins to speak again::

BRANDON JACOBS: You look fabulous.

JONATHAN MARX: So far in the TIT Tournament we’ve raised $400,000 towards fighting the epidemic of flat chested women, who are a D Cup or less. It would be tragic if we were stopped here before we could reach our goal. So we are going to GIRL UP and either go on to the next round, or go down in one last moment of FLAMING GLORY!

BRANDON JACOBS: Shawn Jessica Hart and Beau Michaels would be proud.

JONATHAN MARX: Hun, they got nothing on me.

::Marx throws his pink boa over his shoulder and walks out of the picture::

"What, John? No apple-bottom jeans or boots with the fur?"

Fade-in: Lindsay Troy, standing in front of a TEAM backdrop. There would have been a fancier description but hey, someone's on vacation here...

"It's not every day a man dresses in drag in order to fight me. The closest I've gotten lately is a female doppleganger who wears my face and pretends to be me, so in some weird, twisted, f*cked-up way, I suppose this is a nice change of pace.

"Unfortunately, John, your logic is wrought with EPIC FAIL. Far be it for me to understand why you won't just nut up and fight me like any other 'normal' person would. Your Puritanian views of the wrestling world are so outdated that I'm surprised you haven't formed a cult in New Jersey for the feds to raid.

"It's no secret that you've gone out of your way in the past to speak out against having to fight me. And every time, you've wound up on the losing end of the battle. And when you thought that a change could do you good, this was the best you could come up with.

"I cringe in horror at what you'll come up with next.

"It's not enough that I'm going to have to beat you back to your next Jaqua Spa Party with the girls from Church. I'm not even sure if it's going to be enough that I'm going to have to prove, yet again, that your Jean Rabesquian brainwashings no longer have a place in this sport.

"I suppose I'll just have to settle for a date with Ravager or Tact.

"But do send me a tub of Buttercream Body Polish, when you get a chance..."

Fade...

:::Jonathan Marx dressed in drag is walking out of Barneys department store, the night of the last night of the big Spring Sale, men and women are laying all over the place looking like a fierce battle. Marx is carrying a handbag and Jacobs is behind him carrying tons of boxes, looking like he is ready to fall over.::

JONATHAN MARX: That got my blood going.

BRANDON JACOBS (talking behind boxes): There really was no need for that level of brutality in there. Are you are in a panties in a twist about something?

JONATHAN MARX: Linsday just drives me crazy with her attitude. Preaching to me and trying to shame me into being “normal” when she is anything but. How many women in wrestling are in Troy’s position? If she settled for being normal, she’d stay in her “man” corner and do her man’s bidding.

BRANDON JACOBS: Those who excel in life don’t accept being ordinary, they want to be innovative and extraordinary and go out there and do what hasn’t been done before.

JONATHAN MARX: Yet I’m insane. There is a fine line between genius and insanity and maybe I walk that line a little more than most. But I’m a being driven by my passion, I love wrestling and I wish I could do even more than I could. I’m guilty of that. I accept that about myself.

BRANDON JACOBS: It paid off handsomely for you in the NFW when you were the league point leader and in NEW where you are current the NEW World Heavyweight Champion two times over.

JONATHAN MARX: I think at the core of the issue, what really bothers Troy is that in this dress, she finally realizes that I’m more of a woman than she is.

::does a double take::

BRANDON JACOBS: Say what?

JONATHAN MARX: Who took John Doe under his wing and treated him with care? I did. Who looked out for his best friend Manson when others would have thrown him under a bus for the way he was treated? I treated him like my BFF. Hell, I read poetry, I always cry at the end of Affair to Remember, I throw parties people actually come to, and ever since I put on this dress, men have been giving me looks left and right. What makes it worse is that to be a part of this world, she feels ashamed of all that and here I am, a symbol of all that she can’t be as a shining light to girls everywhere.

BRANDON JACOBS: Hannah Montana look out!

JONATHAN MARX: Remember Linsday, To be the woman, you have to BEAT THE WOMAN! The real first LADY of wrestling is coming for you!
