The screen flickers between black and white.
After a moment it just goes too static with a loud fuzzy noise. Then
all of a sudden it goes pitch black as the WWC Logo begins too emerge
ontoo the TV. "Cocky" by Kid Rock is playing in the background
and the WWC logo begins too turn blood red and morph. The letters
twist and turn before forming the letters "AOA". Underneath
that fades in the text "Attitude TV". Without warning
there is the sound of an explosion and the words go flying off screen
as we are treated too an actual picture. In the corner of the screen
the "Attitude TV" logo sits neatly tucked away
<<-
[ The
scene opens up in the middle of a street that definitely looks as
though it was built on the wrong side of the tracks. Walls are covered
in graffiti from toop too bottoom. Trash litters the street and trash-cans
can be seen open and inhabited. Rain is hammering down on the asphalt
and wind can be heard howling through the broken window of a nearby
phone booth. Old newspapers go flying across the road in front of
the camera and we can hear whispering coming from close by. All
of a sudden there is a jolt too the camera and it is spun violently
around too show the 'Angel of Attitude' Michael Evans standing in
the rain, completely soaked, wearing a shirt and jeans. Even though
the sky is filled with a mass of dark clouds, AOA is wearing a pair
of sunglasses and a slightly annoyed look on his face. ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans: "I
don't even know why I hired you Stan.. I mean, seriously, you can't
even keep the camera focused on me."
[ Stan
turns the camera on himself and answers ]
'Attitude TV's
Own' Stan:
"You hire me cos' M'Butiful"
[
Stan grins and turns the camera back too AOA who looks both annoyed
and scared. He shakes his head and then waves his hand at Stan in
dismissal. ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans:
"Whatever. I'm not here too discuss my screening process.. especially
not with somebody with the same intellectual capacity as everyone
in the WWC locker room.. or.. in simpler terms.. a peanut!"
[ AOA
smirks and then looks intoo the camera, rain still falling heavily
]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans: "You
see, tooday I'm out here tooo address a situation that has recently
been brought tooo my attention. You see, ever my return too the ring
was announced two weeks ago, I've had zero recognition from anybody.
Not because they don't know me. Not because they think I'm beneath
them. No. It's because they're scared. They're scared of me.. scared
of what I am capable of. When it was said that the Angel of Attitude
was too return, gasps were heard.. goosebumps were felt and nerves
flowed through bodies like water in a riverbed. Why? Because they
know. They know that I'm not just some young upstart looking tooo
get famous, get rich and get laid.. I've done all that.. I'm here..
too exert my dominance. I'm here.. tooo prove a point!"
[ AOA
shakes a bit of water out of his long blonde locks by ruffling them
with his left hand. He stares at the camera with a focus that we
have seen before. ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans:
"Who are "they" you ask? Isn't it obvious? Every
single superstar in the WWC Locker Room.. Man or Woman.. Champion
or Chump.. every single person back there doubts me. I don't care..
I've dealt with it before. But if you think I'm dramatizing the
situation, check the facts. Last week, I fought a guy named toony
Blackwell in my WWC Debut. He never showed his face all week.. I
pinned his ass in 4.8 seconds and showed EXACTLY why you don't screw
with the 'Reflection of Perfection'! This week I face Mike Haze.
Hmmm.. maybe it's just me but I find his absence from the airwaves
a little bit odd. I mean, here's a guy who supposed too be making
a comeback. He's supposed too want too make an impact.. just like
I did last week. But No. He would rather lurk in the darkness, wallowing
in self-pity. Wondering what in the hell he has done wrong in life
tooo draw Michael Evans in his comeback match. No provocation.. no
words of self-promotion or any kind of verbal assault on me what
so ever. You think it's a coincidence? I think it's B.S!"
[ A
beer can comes rolling accross the street toowards Michaels. The
camera moves as Stan bends down too pick it up. We can hear him sniff
the can before AOA violently swipes it away. He pulls the camera
back up too his eye level ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans:
"You know, if it were anybody else they would probably be pissed
off about the lack of acknowledgment. But not me. No, I'm quite
happy too stand here and listen too the sound of my own voice week
after week.. and I'm pretty damn sure all of you fat slobs out there
in TV land wouldn't mind that either. But the fact of the matter
is, come Shockwave, as great as it would be, I can't walk down that
ramp and wrestle myself. Now I'm sure that when the time comes,
Mike Haze will crawl out of hole, drag his sorry ass down that ramp
and step intoo the ring.. but before you do Mike.. ask yourself this
question: "Is it worth it?". Is your paycheck worth taking
the beating of a lifetime? Is your comeback important enough too
brave the extreme brutality that will be on display? You know what,
I don't think it is. But hey, maybe you value your contribution
too this business more than I imagine. Maybe you'll plant a tree
in your pants and grow some grapefruits in time for our match..
but hey.. I won't hold my breath."
[ AOA
smirks at his remark as he removes his glasses ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans: "But
you know, now that I think about it, I don't blame any of you for
the lack of recognition. I don't blame any of you for being scared
of me.. in fact, I now realize I should have seen it coming. You're
all threatened by me. You're threatened by my greatness.. my superiority
and most of all.. my perfection. You wake up each and every morning
aspiring too be like me. Don't lie.. you know it's the truth.. whether
you want too admit it or not. It doesn't matter if you're the Hardcore
Champ.. the Tag Champ.. hell, it doesn't even matter if you're name's
Martin J. Singer and you're the World Heavyweight Champion. You
know what the future holds. You know that I possess skill far beyond
your limits and you also realize that the clock is ticking. The
clock is ticking and you slowly begin too understand that the end
draws ever closer. Your fate is sealed.. you know it is. There's
no point trying too escape it. One day you know that our paths will
cross.. all of you.. and you know that when that day comes you will
stand before me and be judged.. sentenced.. and eventually.. executed!"
[ After
those words AOA bows his head and then throws it back causing his
slick hair to fling back and stick to his neck. Rain lashes the
camera lens and Stan moves intoo a better position too eliminate
this problem. ]
'Angel of Attitude'
Michael Evans:
"But that time is far from now for most, so you can rest easy.
Right now, the man who needs too be worrying is Mike Haze. I don't
think I can say much more too explain the situation you find yourself
in Mike. Now I don't know if that hole you're bundled up in has
a TV, but I hope it does because I want you too hear this. You,
just like everyone else can call me arrogant. You can call me an
egotistical maniac. You can.. and probably do.. think I am the cockiest
son of a bitch too ever set foot through the golden gates of the
WWC! Well, you know what? You may be right. I don't make excuses
for my behavior.. because I tell it how it is. I don't just claim
too be the best.. I prove it. You might sarcastically say.. "Wow,
you beat a jobber - HOORAY! You must be awesome..". Haha, if
only you knew. Blackwell was the first. You, Haze, will be the second.
After that? Who knows? I don't.. and frankly I don't care. Raffle
it off if you will, because it makes no difference. I am just going
too keep winning and winning and winning and nobody can say OR do
a damn thing about it! Why? Because when you step intoo the ring
with the 'Reflection of Perfection' you don't step out again.. you
get carried out. You don't think so? Then just go ahead and.."
PROVE
ME WRONG!
[ AOA
grabs what must surely be Stans head behind the camera and slams
his personal camera man intoo the wall. The screen immediately goes
static ]
