[Kickin' it with the Kliq]
Sponsored by.....

~*So maybe I was wrong. So maybe I jumped the gun a little bit last week. Maybe I was in over my head a bit too much. So maybe I placed a little too much pressure on our Canadian Sensation. So maybe Sean Andretti was a little too occupied caring about his wife to care about his match with Ryan Knite. And so maybe Ryan Knite redefined history for just one night last week. It doesn't mean he will do it again. Matter of fact...I guarantee you that he couldn't do it again. But it's okay. It's alright. It happens to the best of us sometimes but we rebound and move on. But hey, being correct four out of six weeks isn't that bad.....right?.....right?~*

~*The cameras open up at the Andretti estate in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is a lovely cool and crisp 65 degrees. It isn't too hot, but it isn't too cold.....you know.....jacket weather. Anyway, the cameras open up inside of the kitchen of the Andretti's where The Canadian Sensation is fixing breakfast for his lady, Stacy Andretti. Stacy is sitting at the kitchen table enjoying the company of her husband, while listening to some music. After several minutes, Sean Andretti finishes fixing the eggs and places them on the plate for him and his wife. He then takes the skillet, puts it in the sink and then carries the two plates towards the table. A smile of happiness comes across the face of Stacy Andretti and as Sean goes back to grab their coffee and a couple of forks, Stacy gives him a kiss followed by a long hug. Stacy and Sean both sit down and then begin to enjoy breakfast together.~*

The Canadian Sensation: A lovely breakfast.....for my lovely lady.

Stacy Andretti: Aww, why thank you Sean.

The Canadian Sensation: It's nothing Stacy. It's been awhile since I've cooked something up for you.

Stacy Andretti: Yeah. Being on the road has been hard on both of us.

The Canadian Sensation: But my last two weeks have felt like the best of my life. Stacy, I think I'm still in paradise. You mind waking me up?

Stacy Andretti: Yeah.....sure.....after I finish this waffle.

~*Stacy Andretti laughs at Sean who smiles back at her. Stacy eats her waffle, followed by a sip of some of the coffee Sean Andretti made. After doing that, she pinches Sean in the arm while he's eating, causing the sausage that he's eating to fall out of his mouth...and onto the floor.~*

The Canadian Sensation: Ow! What was that for?

Stacy Andretti: You said wake you up. What better way than for me to pinch you?

The Canadian Sensation: Well, I'm up, I'm up. Geez, there goes my sausage. I was enjoying that too. Thanks a lot.

Stacy Andretti: No problem.

~*The Canadian Sensation rises out of his feet and picks up the sausage that hit the floor previously. He then walks to the garbage and puts it in. Then returns to his seat...and his breakfast.~*

Stacy Andretti: So, Sean...instead of staying here eating breakfast with me, shouldn't you go train or something? I mean, you did lose your match last week.

The Canadian Sensation: I know, I know.....but Stacy, time flies by so fast when I'm with you. Hell by time I realized I was facing Ryan Knite again, I was already at the arena. But Stacy there is no excuse as to why I lost. I shouldn't have lost. I should've came more prepared.

Stacy Andretti: That's right. So why don't you call Jeff and see what's up?

The Canadian Sensation: I'm not so sure. Jeff is back in the States.....and he's been acting a little weird over the past couple of days.

Stacy Andretti: Doesn't he always act weird?

The Canadian Sensation: True. He is a little weird in the brain, but it's something about him. Something I haven't quite picked up yet.

Stacy Andretti: What do you think it is?

The Canadian Sensation: I don't even know. I've been so caught up in my paradise with you, it's been hard to go back to reality.....and that's my CHZ career. But if he is hiding something from me, he better let me know.

Stacy Andretti: Well Sean, it's Monday and we got to head out soon. It's back to business, remember?

The Canadian Sensation: I know babe.

Stacy Andretti: (Smiling at Sean Andretti) You know I love it when you call me that.

The Canadian Sensation: (Eating a waffle, while smiling back at Stacy) You know I love it when you smile at me that way.

Stacy Andretti: You know...you should be at the gym.

The Canadian Sensation: You know...I love you.

Stacy Andretti: Nut-uh, I love you.

The Canadian Sensation: I love you more.

Stacy Andretti: Nooo.....I love you more.

~*The Andretti's lock eyes and Stacy moves in an eats the sausage that Sean has in his mouth and proceeds to kiss him the same way the two dogs did in that Disney movie. They both share a passionate kiss and Stacy goes to get some more coffee as the door bell rings. Stacy stops pouring her coffee and speed walks past Sean Andretti while tapping him on the shoulder, going to get the door.~*

Stacy Andretti: I got it Sean.

~*The bell rings rapidly and it doesn't stop as Stacy Andretti rushes to catch the door...and find out who is behind it. She reaches the door and yells out.....~*

Stacy Andretti: Who is it?

Anonymous Person: A little birdie...from above.

Stacy Andretti: (Murmurs) Bullshit

~*Stacy doesn't believe the anonymous person behind the door and in a rage, unlocks the door and swings it open. The door slowly opens and the cameras start from his feet to his head on the person. The man stands six feet two, has on a pair of blue jeans, some black sneakers, and a T-Shirt that has the three letters E.I.P on it. The back of the T-Shirt reads "Tuck it, buck it, fuck it.....and suck it!" and the expression on the face of Stacy Andretti tells it all. This man is no stranger to controversy. This man is no stranger to the Elite Impact Players. This man is no stranger to the Andretti family. This man is Shawn Hunt. Stacy Andretti's covers her open mouth in awe and her eyes widen. This look then changes to confusion as she stares at Shawn Hunt as if he is a ghost.~*

Shawn Hunt: No tea, no coffee?.....wazzupwitdat?!

~*Stacy Andretti gives Hunt a look that says "no fucking way" and an impatient Sean Andretti begins to storm on the scene.~*

The Canadian Sensation: Hey, Stacy.....I missed you, we were having a lot of fun before.....who's at the.....(Sean Andretti swings the door open and his moments come to an abrupt halt as he stares down Shawn Hunt).....oh.

~*Stacy Andretti leaves Shawn Hunt and Hunt gives Andretti a cocky smile like always. The look on Sean Andretti's face is very similiar to the one his wife gave him and Hunt laughs.~*

Shawn Hunt: Damn...not even a hug...a hello...a handshake...anything?...Damn, that's cold.

The Canadian Sensation: ....You....you...son of a bitch.

Shawn Hunt: What?

The Canadian Sensation: You son of bitch!!! You mean to tell me after about five months after walking out on Stevenson and me...you appear from out of nowhere and show up at my house. What the hell is going on here Shawn?.....let me guess, you got in some troubles again.....want me to bail ya out?.....or hey, you finally wake up from that little world of yours and you want to get back in the Chaos Heat Zone again. Or maybe you need some money from me. Is that it Shawn?.....'cause if you came here looking for money, you might as well head back to Alabama.

Shawn Hunt: Well, if it ain't like good 'ol Andretti to shove the past in my face. Andretti, I had no motive to come here man. Can't a friend visit a friend huh?.....can't you ever bury the past and move on?.....I'm a new man, with new intentions this time around. I don't want any money...or to return back to the CHZ.

The Canadian Sensation: You said that the last time...then walked out on us.

Shawn Hunt: You can never bury the past, can you?.....and hell, for the record.....I'm the one who's always bailing you out of situations...not the other way around my friend. I just came here to give ya a couple messages man, to you know...bury the past. Put everything between us aside. Start fresh...you know...get rid of all this animosity between us...all of this hostility...and go back to kicking ass like the good old days.

The Canadian Sensation: You want to bury the past...then fine. We're cool. Whatever happened before is dead...but if you ever...turn your back on me the way you did before...you'll be a dead man.

Shawn Hunt: Whatever. So, are ya gonna invite me in or not. It's not nice to leave guests standing outside you know.

The Canadian Sensation: Man, I swear with you...it never ends.

~*The Canadian Sensation shows Shawn Hunt the way inside of his house and points to the couch in the living room. Shawn Hunt makes himself comfortable and Sean Andretti makes his way to the kitchen where he cleans it up a bit. The Canadian Sensation runs upstairs while Stacy Andretti enters the living room.~*

Shawn Hunt: So...how ya doin' there little lady?

Stacy Andretti: Leave me alone.

Shawn Hunt: Wha...what? What'd I do?

Stacy Andretti: You think I'm stupid?.....do you think I believe that you came here just to talk to Sean?.....I think.....no.....I know your lying and in the end all you ended up doing was cause trouble. The Elite Impact Players were doing fine when you weren't around...and we could move forward...without you around. Shawn, I've never liked you. Matter of fact, I hate your guts.

Shawn Hunt: Well, Stacy...you know somethin' your right. I ain't just come here to talk to Sean. I came here to do some business. 'Cause like the businessman that I am.....(Takes out a piece of paper).....business has gots to get done.

Stacy Andretti: Just what exactly are you talking about, Shawn?

Shawn Hunt: You see right here is a contract to 8 Ball Incorperated. Three years ago, your husband signed a contract with us...and in November, that contract is up. Do you know what 8 Ball Incorperated is little lady?

Stacy Andretti: No...and don't call me a little lady.

Shawn Hunt: Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, 8 Ball Incorperated is the company that keeps Sean Andretti on the map. 8 Ball is the company that keeps the Elite Impact Players afloat. You see, without 8 Ball...the E.I.P would be nowhere. Without 8 Ball, the Elite Impact Players would never survive...and this right here, is a contract for Sean Andretti to resign. Matter of fact...it's a contract for him, Jeffery Archibald and that Marcus Menace character. These are lifetime contracts my little lady.....and it basically states that when ya sign on the dotted line.....you are E.I.P for life.

Stacy Andretti: That is ludicrous. You actually think Sean Andretti and everyone else will fall for that scam of yours?

Shawn Hunt: We'll see. Here he comes. Hold on to ya hat.

~*Down the stairs comes Sean Andretti and he goes straight to the kitchen. He goes to the refridgerator and gets out two bottles of Aquafina water. The Canadian Sensation then pulls something out of his pocket, laughs and then pours something into the bottled water. He stirs it up and goes to the living room where Stacy Andretti and Shawn Hunt are standing.~*

The Canadian Sensation: You could've sat down if you wanted.

Shawn Hunt: Nah, no need. Sat down for hours on the private jet.

The Canadian Sensation: Stylin' and profilin'. The name of the game.

Shawn Hunt: Oh yeah. You know it. For sure.

The Canadian Sensation: (Sean holds the bottled water to Hunt's face) Water?

Shawn Hunt: Yeah, I'll take it.

Stacy Andretti: Well, I'll leave you two alone.

The Canadian Sensation: I'll miss you Stacy.

Stacy Andretti: Uh-huh.

~*Stacy Andretti walks away with the anger in each of her footsteps as she heads up the stairs. The Canadian Sensation and Shawn Hunt both look at each other, with years of history between them. They stare at each other for awhile, give each other a five and give the other guy a big hug. They start laughing and joking around while they drink their bottles of water.~*

Shawn Hunt: Man, has it been awhile.

The Canadian Sensation: Hell yeah. It's felt like centuries.

Shawn Hunt: So, how's the Chaos Heat Zone treatin' ya?

The Canadian Sensation: It's been going pretty good so far. How's life treating you Shawn?

Shawn Hunt: It's all good, it's all good.

The Canadian Sensation: Sweet.

Shawn Hunt: Listen man, I saw your match last week against Knite.....

The Canadian Sensation: .....Yeah?

Shawn Hunt: Yeah man, what happened. Seems like your bummed knee is slowing down your work. Back in the day, you would've taken that fool out in seconds.

The Canadian Sensation: Well, Sean...my knee will never be the same again but I'm working with the cards I'm dealt with. They seem to be working for me so far, they just didn't seem to fall all in place last week. I'm not dwelling all on it too much.

Shawn Hunt: But you still got those critics man, they're killing you!

The Canadian Sensation: Forget the critics man. I'm getting back to where I once was. It'll take some time, but I'll reach there. I mean listen...I went on a winning streak for three matches...and the critics were dead silent. I take one week and spend some time with my wife, come back...lose to Ryan Knite...and they're all up my ass. With the critics Shawn...you never win. You should know that. They always find something negative to pick out and use against you. They've been doing that to me for years...but I'm still here...ain't I?

Shawn Hunt: Yeah, you are. But listen man...we've got to talk some business.

The Canadian Sensation: Business like what. I'm all ears.

Shawn Hunt: Well, first off.....I've been hearing about this Zach Bautista guy.....and from what I hear, he's a dangerous dude. He's been challenging the CHZ.

The Canadian Sensation: Well, if the cocky motherfucker wants a challenge, I'll be the first one to answer it. You know me...I back down from...nothing.

Shawn Hunt: It's good to hear you say that...but man, remember in the day, how we'd say if you were E.I.P, you were E.I.P for life?

The Canadian Sensation: Yeah. Things haven't changed.

Shawn Hunt: Well man.....you know your contract with 8 Ball ends in November but what I've managed to do is to make four contracts. But these aren't regular contracts...no-no. These are lifetime Elite Impact Player and 8 Ball contracts. Sean, if you, Jeff, Marcus and that grand champ I've been hearing things about sign these.....then your with 8 Ball for life. You will be E.I.P for life. There is no if's, and's or but's about it. There's no turning back man, sign these and your set. (Finishes his water and crumbles the water bottle. He then hands the contract to Sean Andretti who takes his pen.) So, are you in...or out?

The Canadian Sensation: Give me a couple minutes.

~*The Canadian Sensation stares at Shawn Hunt who grabs at his stomach in pain. Sean Andretti smirks at Sean.~*

Shawn Hunt: What the hell you put in that water man. I gotta use the bathroom.

The Canadian Sensation: Just a little exlax for your little problem.

Shawn Hunt: Problem?!....what problem?!.....wait....exlax?!.....what the hell were you.....

~*The stomach of Shawn Hunt's grumbles like a roar and he runs upstairs to the bathroom as Sean Andretti laughs aloud. The Canadian Sensation takes the contract and places it against the wall and as he gets ready to write he yells out to Shawn Hunt.....~*

The Canadian Sensation: I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!

~*The scene fades.~*

[From the Inside.....]

"Another match, another day. A new person to study, a new game to play. But this game is different from the rest. In this game, there are winners and losers. When you play this game, you need to have a high amount of confidence. With this game it's not difficult to play. Mostly everyone in the Chaos Heat Zone plays it. The game is called "bruise the ego". Isn't that something we all suffer from time to time?....a bruised ego?.....oh come on, don't act as if someone hasn't bruised your ego before. Lighten up. Hey, have a beer, go with your girlfriend to a nice club. I'm sure she'll enjoy it. Anyway, the game of bruise the ego...started last week...and the winner of it was the former Chaos Heat Zone Hardcore Champion, Ryan Knite. Who's ego did he bruise?...that's right, that was my ego. That was my ego you bruised Ryan, my body you defeated and broke down. That was my confidence going down the drain and you didn't hear from me last week, but the words from my manager pretty much summed up how I felt about you.

And so the game of bruise the ego continues this week...when I face Brian Hulin.....and wow, it's the sixth match on the card. It's been awhile since I've been on the top of the food chain. It's been awhile since I've had a high slot on Wednesday Nights. Last time around, I took it for granted. I thought everything in the Chaos Heat Zone came free, but boy...oh...boy was I surprised when my MCL was torn. It opened up new things for me. It was kind of like one of those near death experiences, when you see your life flash before your eyes. It made me realize, made me work harder...and work harder I did. But anyway, the game continues...and I plan to bruise the enormous ego of "The Hardcore One" Brian Hulin. Or is that the Hardcore Icon?.....hell, I don't know. I don't even care. Last time I checked, this guy went by the name of Hardcore Hulin, was getting his head smashed in by steel chairs and light bulbs and was carrying the CHZ Hardcore Championship. My how the times have changed. It seems like little Brian Hulin is growing up to be a man...for once. It seems like my little Hulin is growing up to being a man, instead of that Superior Wrestling never was. Hell, if I can remember...didn't you get your face bashed in a couple of times by that sellout?.....damn, what's his name again?.....I can't even remember. Brian Hulin, you've come a long way my friend. You've evolved in the game a little bit...and now folks are starting to take you seriously...for once. Hell, let's face the facts here...let's get down to the nitty-gritty here Brian. You're just overshadowed my friend. You're just overshadowed by that Slappy's eating brother of yours, who doesn't know anything about the pizza business. And man...did you try that Slappy's?.....I mean, it has to be one of the worse tasting pizzas ever! But Hulin, let's get serious here for a moment. If you believe that no one takes you seriously...then look no further than me. Hulin, I respect what you do and you've paved the way for other hardcore wrestlers. I mean...you are the hardcore icon...right?...or was it the hardcore has-been?...damnit, I did it again! I mean, Brian...I liked how you showed some respect to your fellow man. Calling me Mr. Andretti. It made me feel so welcomed! I almost wanted to cry. Almost. But then I almost wanted to cry again.....when I heard you speak.

So, Brian Hulin...you think you're tough?.....you think you're hardcore?.....you think just because you run around with this "Boss".....have a couple of gang and bar fights and have a group called the Controlling Factor....that hasn't controlled absolutely nothing.....that it makes you a big man?.....and the last time I checked, the last time I did face someone from this "controlling factor" I defeated him. What was his name?...Vin Dinner....Van Hammer....Van Dyke....yeah, Van Dyke! Hulin, let's face the facts, the only thing you will be controlling is my foot being placed upside your ass. And I don't like getting cliche on you...but that's the way it's got to be...jack. I mean you've probably heard it a thousand times before...but when you were the hardcore champion...you won matches with nothing but weapons. Dude, I've been here for nearly a year, hold a respectable eight and nine record and never once have I used a weapon to pick up a victory. Never won by a count-out. Never won by a disqualification.....never won by an interference, or of an illegal use of a weapon. Now...Brian, can you say the same? I didn't think so. And so now you're on this new "path". Let me guess...it's going to be another "hardcore" era?...am I supposed to be afraid. Oh...no...another era...how interesting!.....you know when Ryan Knite stepped on the scene, he said that exact same thing, except it took him about two months for the era to actually start. The era didn't really make an impact...like the Elite Impact Players did...but that's another story...for another day. But bruise the ego...it continues my man, and I'm going to bruise this king sized ego of yours. So...your going to make me fall to your feet eh?...I'm gonna be the man on your path...and rise to being an uprising star. How typical. How many fucking times in a millenium must I hear that...and it never follows through. Damn Chaos Heat Zone "superstars". Get original damnit!

But Hulin, my ranting on you hasn't even started...your ego hasn't even been bruised yet...and why?...because nobody has stepped up to the challenge to bruise it. I mean yeah...there's one man...and that man is who we both dispise just as much. That man is Ryan Knite and that's just about the only thing we have in common. That...and the fact that we both need momentum going into Uprising. Brian Hulin...me and you...we'll never be friends. Nobody will ever catch us having a drink at the bar together. Nobody will ever catch us at a training facility working on our techniques...and you know what...even though that might upset you...it brings a smile to my face. Yup...a big whole-hearted...kool aid smile. Brian...I'm loving every damn moment of this. I love the way you set yourself up for your downfall. I love the way you trash my country. I love the way you think of these childish tactics to talk about me. Me...paying off the fans to cheer for me?...never. Me...walking around with puny muscles?...wait, up a moment there kid, have you looked at me lately. Have you seen me in the ring, have you witnessed the epitome of excellence on your screen, or is your ego that big too?.....Have you seen the talent?.....Hulin.....I'm in the best damn shape of my career.....I'm at a lean green two hundred and twenty five pounds.....I've got the speed of lightheavyweight.....with the power of a heavyweight. You couldn't fuck with that. You couldn't mess with that....even if you tried. But...please don't. You'll fail...and fail miserably. The same way you will fail on Wednesday Night Wild. I can't wait to see your face, while my theme music is playing...and as I'm heading towards the back in triumph. I can't wait to see your reaction.....and how your bruised ego will recover. I doubt it will....but there's always Ryan Knite to help you out there....right Brian?"
