Scorpion's GYM, Iron Claw , Los Angeles Branch, 2:33PM:
Braer is wearing some grey gym shorts, jogging on a treadmill. He is also wearing a tee-shirt of the Dallas Stars, with the sleeves cut off and it is sweaty and worn out. The sweat on his face wasted no time collecting on his Brow and chest, as his face glistens in the light. Scorpion is wearing a white polo shirt like a GYM teacher would, and some black shorts, and he is holding onto a stopwatch, looking at it intently. He stops the stopwatch and reaches on the panel of the treadmill and presses a button. Braer slows down and grabs the side handles and comes to a complete stop.
Scorpion: Not bad at all. Not good though...
Wayne Braer: It's not?
Scorpion: 'fraid not man. You'd be able to outrun a lot of people. But you know, cowards that have to run around in masks and black robes knocking people upside the head, they may not be able to fight, but they sure as hell know how to run.
Braer: Haynes?
Scorpion: The name's not important man, the only 3
things you need to worry about is
1) Keep your eye on him at all times, as he is intent on doing whatever he can
to pull off an upset
2) Don't get distracted with the fan's mindtricks. If they don't cheer for you,
**** em.
3) If he runs, you better be quick enough to catch him with a slam into the wall
or a chair to the face.
Got it?
Braer: That's it? That's simple.
Scorpion: It does SOUND simple, but it's not. OK, this man, he isn't exactly the most famous guy out there. I never knew much about him to be honest, never even met the man. Something I can tell you about him, is he fights my style of wrestling. He's not the big buff type, he's the kind of guy that uses quick complex maneuvers to lay you out. He's also one hell of a submission wrestler I hear. He's a tough cookie, but it's nothing that you, or I, can't deal without much problem. And trust me man, I wrestled for the people, and when I did that, things just went downhill. They expect so much from you, they have their own vision of greatness, which I didn't agree with. And it got to my head so much that I did blatantly stupid stuff that all 'good guys' do just to get a pop. They don't appreciate great wrestling, and that is why you might have some problems with Haynes, cuz he does appreciate that. Frost on the other hand...
Braer: You are saying he is no good? His name isn't out there for nothing, he is better than me...
Scorpion: (Laughs) Are you SERIOUS? He is NOT better than you. He has the image, that's it. He's one of those 'good guys that do stupid stuff to get a pop' remember? I know the type man, he was one of those backwater wrestling people that couldn't keep up with his neighborhood friends and his brothers and stuff during the wrestling matches, this man is all about the mic. He's all talk and no walk. And his chill factor ain't gonna cool **** off, if he wants to 'cool someone off' maybe he should sell them some popsickles. His horrible work makes my face burn with annoyance, there's nothing cool about him, just remember that.
Braer: But what if I do not win this sunday?
Scorpion: (rubs his chin then gives him a wicked stare and reverts to normal self) Hey man, you didn't win your first match, big deal. The best of us, we lose sometimes. You can't become a good winner, without being a good loser. Sure, there was that one guy, that was shaped like a bull and he went like a 170 or so matches without a single defeat, can't think of his name. Well anyways, a month or so after his first loss, I never heard about him again. That just shows to go man, he doesn't know how to lose RIGHT. Im not going to lie to you man, this match isn't a done deal. But, one thing is for sure, my jaw is gonna drop if your shoulders are pinned on that mat, because unless some freak accident goes down, ****'s not gonna happen!
NWF Staff Lounge, 4:14 PM
Scorpion is at the Drink machines, he is putting some quarters in and he selects a drink. A gatorade bottle comes out and he grabs it and puts some more coins in for some Water. He goes to pick that up but somebody mentions his name.
?: Hey Mr. Scorpion, where can I find your wrestler, Wayne Braer.
Scorpion: You can't, he's resting for now, who are you?
Trent Roberts: I am Trent Roberts, reporter of the NWF, I was just wanting his comments on the match.
Scorpion: We feel the same so shoot.
Roberts: Ok so anyways, what do you have to say about Mr. Braer's debut at March of Death, which he fell short from victory?
Scorpion: He lost, big whoop. Anybody that's in the game for perfect records and title belts can kiss my ass. Because he's not here to be all 'perfect' , he's just here to kick the ass of anybody that thinks they are. There's reasons for why he lost, and it is not because a lack of talent, power, skill, speed, or any of those. It's because he got caught up with the small fry of the match, Jacen Frost. Now, Karma sure did impress me out there and Im sure she impressed a lot of the people that never really seen her wrestle before. And Braer let his emotions get the best of him, and that might happen again, but the badest MOFO in the world says don't count on it. But anyway's lets focus on the good points of the match. I knew right then and there that the whole world knows I am right concerning Braer when they saw him at March of Death. He wrestled just as good as some of the big eventers that night. And furthermore the way he executed the Forsaken Penalty on Karma was just perfect. Its a great move, and its not just another 'powerbomb or neckbreaker' rip-off move. The way he fights is clearly awesome. If you can't agree with that there's something wrong with you... maybe you need to be locked up at a mental hospital.
Roberts: There is no denying the skill of Wayne Braer, but Jacen Frost is certainly no small fry.
Scorpion: Yea, I guess so. Jacen Frost doesn't seem like much of a fry. He's more of the melted watery McDonalds milkshakes that have no flavor type. Whenever I drink a milkshake, I want some thickness to it, I don't want it to feel like Im drinking out of the tap. And when I want to see wrestling, I want to see stars out there with substance and guts, like Braer. I don't want some beer drinkin' redneck or some pretty boy from the city or some bull shaped guy that wins all his matches, mostly against guys that suck even worse than him, I want to see the tenacity and raw skill that I grew up with as a kid, today. Today's generation don't know what they are missing out on, it's a shame that one of the few stars with any real substance they actually liked is yours truly. Which is why I am disappointed at the whole state of it all, Braer is here to impress those that aren't impressed by every single thing they see out there. The others are just roadside garbage, no better than most of the people that step in the ring these days. Not implying that Frost is garbage of course, just that, he is just its equivalent.
Roberts: And what about the man that attacked the newcomer Braer in his 1st professional match, Will 'The Thrill' Haynes.
Scorpion: Not too familiar with him, but one thing I do know is that he has had a hard time holding himself up in wrestling. And as far as Im concerned he isn't going to do any better here in the NWF. In fact I'm so confident of this, I wouldn't be surprised if I find him in the free agent pool in a month of so. I know he's bounced back in forth from fed to fed and that he's disappeared for nearly a year. All I have to say is that's one helluva disappearing act. It was so good that I didn't even notice that conniving chameleon was missing. Probably because I hardly knew he was there in the first place. (Laughs) Well anyways, he decides to go turncoat and try to hop in the limelight of Braer, somebody that a lot of people are expecting a lot out of. Its one thing to actually get a job as a wrestler, and its another thing to get a job as a wrestler at one of the most watched and reputable organizations in the world, right off the bat, without previous experiences doing pro gigs. Braer is not only lucky, but he's also smart and tough, and those 2 things also are more than enough to 'ice' Bill Underpants. Oh God Im thirsty. (Opens up the water bottle and takes a couple of big gulps, emptying half the bottle) That hit the spot. All cliches and cheesy one-liners aside, Bill Haynes simply doesn't know what he got himself into, messing with the best, he's gonna be dying like the rest. ... Not literally, of course, the only thing that's truly deadly in the NWF is the locker room stench (Laughs)
Scorpion begins to walk off, drinking his water. Roberts continues to question him but Scorpion just blocks him out of his mind and walks off camera, then the scene fades to black.
