The scene opens shortly after Slaughter on Sunday night. We are back in the luxury hotel room of Paul Roberts. Roberts is sitting in a leather lounging chair taking sips from his drink sitting on the arm of the chair. In front of him is a large 52 inch plasma screen TV, replaying ASW Sunday Slaughter from earlier in the night. The match being contested is his own, he has a pen in his hand and notebook in his lap he appears to be taking notes. As the match continues Roberts face appears to be a stone wall showing no emotion as he takes another drink from his glass and writes down another note.
His dominating victory in his debut can be taken one of two ways, either the man who won the UWF’s top prize, the Universal Championship, two weeks ago at UWF Redemption has not lost a step as he transitioned from one federation to another or he was just so dominant because he was facing a member of the Jobber-squad. It is possible that the reason his debut failed to make waves in the ASW is because everyone expected him to win the match against Acanthus. If it had been more of a fight people may have thought even less of him. Bottom line the ASW is a much larger and stronger beast than most of the other federations that Paul Roberts had competed in. Perhaps Roberts was merely a large fish in a small pond in the UWF. As he takes another sip from his drink, he notices yet something else from the match and jots it down. Suddenly there is a knock at the door and Roberts pauses his Tivo and gets up to answer it. When he opens the door it finds none-other than his best friend and business manager Chad Monie. Chad: Nice win tonight Paul, can I come in? Primetime: Yeah, sure it was a win, but they had me facing someone no wear near my level. I felt like I was facing someone even Bobby “The Beast” Bishop would walk all over. I came here for competition not to face jobbers. Roberts walks away from the door leaving it open, Chad enters the hotel room and shuts the door behind him. Chad: Your new Paul, in ASW everyone starts at the bottom— Primetime: Yeah, I get that, but I am not just anyone. Two weeks ago I won my second World title, and I did it in four matches. Every single match I was in, in the UWF was a main event match, now I am opening with Jobbers? What I am doing am I starting all over? Has everyone forgotten who “Primetime” Paul Roberts is? Chad: Bottom line Paul, in ASW no one cares who you were or what you won in other federations, they only care who you are HERE. Roberts goes and sits down back in chair once again and takes another sip from his drink. Primetime: I know, I know, and you know what I am okay with it. I am fine with having to build over again in ASW, lets me do something different for a change. I’m just not sure I like heading to the ring, hearing the dumbass announcers say they don’t know much about me. Chad: Well most employees don’t pay much attention to what’s going on in other federations. Sure I bet they know your title history but I doubt they care. They want to see the ASW Paul Roberts, not the WCF, DSW, or UWF Paul Roberts. Primetime: Well it really doesn’t matter because soon enough they will all know my name. Roberts turns back to the TV about to un-pause it when Monie stops him. Chad: I almost forgot why I came over, I have your schedule for this coming Wednesday. Primetime: Oh, great. Chad: I was curious so I asked the ASW staff about it, they tell me you wanted to challenge for an X-division contender spot, and needles to say I was a bit surprised. Primetime: Oh, so they gave me the match I requested, great. Chad: I am just a little confused, why the X-division? I mean ever since I have known you, you have always been about skipping over everything and trying to jump right to the World title, what’s up? Primetime: I told you last week Chad, I am getting tired of defeating World Champion after World Champion just to end up defeating another one. This time in ASW I plan on taking my time to get to the World Title stop to enjoy the sights. I was pondering on were to start in ASW, I saw the X-Title, noticed it has only had one champion in its history, the current champion C.A.S.H. I have never competed in an X-Division match, I have been looking around seeing other federations that have X-Divisions and I have always been intrigued by it, but this is the first fed that I have ever been in that actually had an active X-Division. So when I was looking for a place to start I thought why not start there, I am looking for competition and X-Division wrestlers are suppose to be the greatest athletes in the world, were better for the greatest wrestler who ever lived to start his legacy in ASW? I will win my contender spot then I will win the X-Title and when I decide I am done with it I will move on to another title, Chad I will win every title in this company before I move to the World Title. Chad: Really…. Chad says with a raised eyebrow. Primetime: Yes, I will, by the time I am done in ASW I will have won every single title on my way to the hall of fame. Winning World titles is one thing, Grand Slamming is a whole other. Chad: That it is indeed, but what about tag team titles? I’m not going to wrestle with you Paul, I am not a wrestler. Primetime: Don’t worry, I have no plans to try to get you to tag team with me. I do have a plan and it leads directly to the ASW Canadian and World Tag team titles. Chad: Seems you have everything figured out. Primetime: I do, and soon I will start my plan to go after that tag team titles as well. But first greatness must shine on the X-Division, so who is my opponent for the contender spot? Chad: Goliath. Primetime: That big oaf? I didn’t know guys his size could compete in the X-Division. Chad: Well for arguments sake, they always say its not about weight limits— Primetime: Its about no limits I know, but that guy has plenty of limits, oh well. Chad: I don’t know how you are going to beat him Paul, he is too big to get in the Virtebreaker. Primetime: True, but you must have missed it I have been perfecting my ankle lock submission; and unfortunately for Goliath he will be tapping out on Wednesday when I break his ankle. The camera pans around to the TV, it was paused right as Acanthus taps out to Roberts’ Ankle Lock submission. Chad: You know that Goliath has defeated C.A.S.H. in a non-title match right? Primetime: C.A.S.H. lost to that giant tard? That just furthers my point that the X-Division needs Paul Roberts. They need a Champion that is actually the greatest athlete alive. C.A.S.H. is a disgrace to that title, and after I beat Goliath this Wednesday I am coming for his gold. Chad chuckles a little. Primetime: What? Chad: Nothing, I am just getting used to this new attitude, you holding titles other than the World title, this is the kind of thing I have been trying to get you to do since you began your career. Primetime: Really? Hmmm what do you know…bottom line, I will win this Wednesday and then I will go after the X-Title and it will be mine. Roberts un-pauses his program and Acanthus begins to tap out to Paul Roberts Ankle Lock. A small grin grows across the face of Roberts as he watches another man tap out. As Wednesday grows near, the Showdown between Goliath and Paul Roberts promises to be an X-Division classic but undoubtedly the match will end with the same outcome as “Primetime’s” last, with his opponent tapping out.
