(A cigar lounge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A thin veil of extremely expensive cigar smoke floats through the room. We move through the room and find businessmen and other CEO's discussing world events. In the back corner we find Kandi Reed sitting in the corner with Samuel Roundtree.)
Kandi: Samuel, thanks for inviting me here today. I'm kinda confused as to why I'm here...
Samuel: Confused? Why are you here?
Let me explain. Kandi, I brought you here to show how the upper class live. See, Philadelphia is a city where people come to make dreams come true. The city of brotherly love opens its arms to people who want to make something out of their lives. It does however shun and ignore the classless peons of the world who talk about people's pennance without being about to spell it properly. It repels the mediocrity that people who refuse to move out of the past and into the now.
Kandi: You wonder why I'm confused....?
Samuel: O.K., let's try it this way. Texas Lightning, former 4-time World Champion. Texas Lightning, the man who almost single-handedly beat Team Danger for their tag straps two weeks ago. The man who "almost" beat me for the United States Championship on Main Frame. The man who has more excuses than Bill Clinton trying to explain where he was on Saturday night to Hillary. By the way nice blue dress Kandi.
The man...
Kandi: Samuel, you're point being...
Samuel: Sorry there sugar puff, Texas Lightning brings out the ramble in me.
He says I don't understand squat. He says it's all because his head wasn't in the match on Thursday that he lost. He says the whole world could be his if he was focused. He says that Jessica and Bart Simpson are ACTUALLY RELATED!!!
Texas Lightning, TL, Grandpa Wrestling, let me make something completely clear to you.
You WERE good.
When you walk out to the ring in front of 20,000 people this Sunday the only thoughts running through peoples minds will be, "Hasn't he retired yet?", "Man he looks old?", "Hey! Who's the has been?"
I will give you credit TL. I watched you in the past and you could go. You could bleed and run with the best of them. The problem for you was back then, you needed to bleed, you needed to go so far over the top that people laughed at you when you fell down to the bottom. You got more "Holy ****s!!!" out of a crowd than a room full of constipated fat guys. What you need to know TL is that in 2005, it's more than just your willingness to bleed that gets you over, that makes you money hand over fist. Don't get me wrong, you will lose a pint or two at Superiority. You need that "X" factor. That little extra something that makes you special. And if I'm being honest about it. You have more of the "Y" factor working for you.
You know what I mean...
The "Y" are you still wrestling factor...
The "Y" don't you get it factor...
The "Y" aren't you the same guy I saw selling T-shirts during intermission factor...
TL, you're time is over.
At Superiority, it's done.
No more witty banter between the two of us.
TL, it's so over between the two of us, I won't even come up with a clever line to end this interview.
Kandi: So this would be the point we...
Samuel: You mean fade to black.
Kandi: No, not that...
Samuel: Kandi...FADE TO BLACK!!!!
