Re: UNLEASHED '08: TV Title Match: Ice Tre (c) vs. Fusenshoff vs. Stalker - Stalker R
Fade in to Fusenshoff at a pub called O'Neill's just outside of AT&T Park in San Francisco, CA. A shot and a beer beckon to be introduced to his lips. Fusenshoff looks tired and angrier than usual. People in San Francisco are known for their tolerance, but Fuse gets a few looks every once in a while from slamming his shot glass down or just pounding the bar counter. The bartender is keeping a close eye on him. Fusenshoff has been sitting at this bar letting the hours wash away when an interesting advertisement comes on the television
TV ad V/O: “So what is a sociopath? A serial killer that strolls from one victim to another? Possibly, but not often. Ask yourself this: is there someone in your life unable to form any kind of emotional bond with another person? Does he or she seem to be always without empathy for others? Does he or she do things that to you seem beyond comprehension; and then carry on as if those actions made no difference? Does he or she like dangerous, outrageous or socially/sexually unacceptable activities that provide a thrill? If you see this dynamic in your partner, family member, coworker, or friend, you are probably dealing with a sociopath.”
Fuse continues watching the advertisement and is stunned to learn that it's for a program, which costs money, to help people learn to cope with the sociopath in their lives. He turns to face the camera that’s focused on his reaction.
Fusenshoff: “That has to be the craziest damn thing I've seen in my life. A book and program to teach men and women how to live with a sociopath? The ironic thing is, I find it appalling, and yet I've been doing just that.
“I've been letting Stalker ruin the only thing that matters to me. We all saw what he did to Rocko for months on end. Now I'm in his cross-hairs.
“Is this what you really wanted Stalker? You piss me off week after week. You ruin my matches, knowing full well it's all I have to look forward to. But there's one more thing I've noticed Stalker...
“You've been losing- a lot!
“You've been getting your ass handed to you for months now. Whether it's with the satanic skank in your corner or not, you've been looking like a crack-head in a courtroom. Just another pathetic loser.
“Yet you're in this match at Unleashed because you're the most aggressive schizoid this side of Charles Manson. Forget the conventional route, right Stalker?
“You know... actually earning your title shot.
“Nope. You'd rather just lose, then run-in. Lose, then run in; lose, then run-in.
“And you know what? That works out just beautifully for me. It works out because I get my redemption at Unleashed. You, me and the guy who whooped your ass at Black Dawn, Sir Frisked-A-Lot, are playing by Stalker's Rules now. Anything goes. You get to tape **** to your knuckles… but guess what, it’s a street with two sides Stalker.
Fusenshoff takes a minute and seems to be pondering his next words.
“I have a hypothetical for you Jason, so bear with me. Let's say we're at AT&T Park, wrestling in front of the forty-two thousand plus fans in attendance. I'm doing my best to break both your legs with an aluminum baseball bat for the grief you've caused me. You're making sh*t up as you go along. Despite trying to clarify the rules twice for Kin Hiroshi, you're about as good at explaining yourself as a stuttering altar boy reading scripture in the midst of a myoclonic twitching attack. Meanwhile, Ice Tre is battle-rapping a prepubescent twelve year-old in the audience because the pimple faced twit called Tre a 'Wanksta'.
“Now I finally have your bones sticking out of your jeans- the pair you borrowed from the roommate you used to share a cardboard box with out on the streets- and mercifully pin you for the three count...
“How will you feel Jason? How will you feel when I beat you in your own match?
“Because let's face it, you've been so excruciatingly egregious in the ring lately that your odds of winning are slim to none and Slim’s in a coma. It’s pretty sad if you get your ass kicked in YOUR WORLD.
“I’d say you have a lot to lose in this match. You’ll miss out on an opportunity for a Television Title shot, but that’s no big deal. You can just threaten to hump Lindsay’s leg and she’ll give you another one. No, the real embarrassment will come when everyone’s laughing at you for changing the rules to fit your strengths, but still you come up short.
“You think because you’re nuttier than a Snickers bar that you have an advantage in a hardcore-themed Stalker’s Rules match. But your confidence can’t be high right now after the beatings you’ve taken. And now that Lindz has evened the playing field, I get my opportunity for vengeance.
“Get ready to reap what you’ve crocheted.”
Fade out as Fusenshoff downs a shot without the slightest grimace. He turns his attention back to the television in the corner of the bar.
