Last night in the ASW debut of Paul Roberts the world of wrestling witnessed “Primetime” force Acanthus to submit to the ankle lock just as Goliath will on Wednesday. Many people were wondering if Roberts was indeed as good as he claimed he was and they were not disappointed. The people defiantly go there monies worth and went home happy; well sort of. Everyone accept Paul Roberts who was disappointed in the quality of competition in his first opponent in ASW. This however was the first in a long line of victories for the future ASW X-Champion so the people better get used to it. Roberts has never claimed that he wanted to be the people’s champion, or everyone’s hero, or even liked at all. What he promises is that everyone will go home happy after watching one of his matches. That everyone in that match will be raised to a higher level just by being in the match with him, and last night we saw that.
As the scene opens we are in the hotel bedroom suit of “Primetime” Paul Roberts. “Primetime” was up late jotting down notes from his match that he could improve on in his upcoming match against Goliath. Today is Monday morning, and tomorrow, Tuesday he must get on a flight to take him to Ohsweken, Ontario so he can be there and prepare for Showdown on Wednesday, talk about a hectic schedule. Never the less Roberts made it into bed at around 3:30 am this morning. The king size bed is disheveled with a bare foot hanging off the end of the bed. As the camera pans up we can see Paul Roberts completely asleep, the digital alarm clock next to the bed reads 8:29 am, seconds after seeing the clock the time changes to 8:30 and the alarm begins to blare. Roberts limp arm swings over and slams down on top of the clock hitting the snooze. He is going to have to get up sooner or later, but there is no movement from Paul Roberts at all. Suddenly a cell phone rings, the caller I.D. identifies the caller as Chad Monie. Primetime: Ugh…. Roberts sits up in bed and picks up the phone. Primetime: What? Chad: You up? Primetime: No. Chad: Why not I will be over to meet you in a couple of minutes you said for me to come over around 8:45 to go over Goliath’s tapes. Primetime: Lets see….I beat the hell out of some jobber, a worthless excuses for human being last night, got back to my hotel after the show around 11:00 pm I watched my match from last night over and over again taking notes, and then you wouldn’t leave till like 4:00 am, Chad I’m a little tired. The exhausted “Primetime” says groggily. Chad: First of all I was only at your hotel for like a half hour then I left around 11:30 so you could get some sleep, if you stayed up taking notes or doing whatever it is you do that’s your problem don’t try to pawn it off on me. I am on my way over to your hotel, you need to get moving. Primetime: What would possess you to come over here so early after I went to bed so late last night? I wasn’t even in my bed for five minutes before I got the call from you this morning. Chad: Well you demanded that I meet you at your hotel no later than 8:45am, so we could go over some of Goliath’s matches those were your exact words last night. Primetime: Yeah, yeah, everything is always my fault. Chad: Well this time yeah. Listen I am at your hotel I am on my way up. Roberts hangs up the phone and stretches, he stands up completely nude, fortunately the ASW censers things like this. He walks over to the full wall leghth window and opens the blinds letting beams of light into the room. He walks over to the bed and puts on his tan suit pants and fastens the belt. He walks out into the living area of his massive hotel suit, walks over to the coffee pot and pores himself a cup, and sits down at the dinning table. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, Roberts takes a sip of his coffee and heads over to the door, Roberts has a noticeable limp on his bad knee from last nights match. He opens the door to see Chad Monie, he welcomes him in and gingerly limps back to the table and sits down. Chad: That’s a pretty heavy limp, how’s the knee? Primetime: About what I expected, I mean it isn’t 100% never will be but I am still better with a bad knee than anyone else on the roster. It probably isn’t even from the match, it is always sore when I get up in the morning. I will be able to walk on it again by mid day probably. Chad: You need to be careful, you don’t want to end up on the cane again. You worked hard to get back to where you are and – Primetime: And I don’t want to mess it up, I know. But I didn’t take careless risks with my leg last night Chad. It just gets soar after matches and like I said it just hurts in the morning anyway, probably this crappy Canadian weather, why the ASW tours all over Canada I will never understand. I will be fine, the knee is stronger than it as ever been, its as good as it ever will be but its going to be sore after matches, it’s a fact of life. Chad: I’m just saying be careful. Roberts arrogantly rolls his eyes and nods as he takes another sip of his coffee. Primetime: Want some coffee? Chad: Yeah sure but I will get it don’t get up. Primetime: I didn’t plan on it. Roberts says with a smile, taking another sip of his coffee. Primetime: Well I better get in the shower, when I get out we can take a look at the tapes. Chad: Yeah, I took a look at some of them the last night, he isn’t what I would call an X-Division specialist. Primetime: Is that right? Chad: Yeah, he isn’t really fast, and in fact he looks just awkward and heavy. How he got a #1 contender shot at ANY title is beyond me. Primetime: Well I am sure he has to have some talent otherwise why would they give him this shot? Chad: Well I am sure he has something to offer, but even his win loss record is less than stellar and that is me being generous. Primetime: You have to be joking, the ASW fed me another jobber? Chad: Well I wouldn’t say he is a jobber but he isn’t far away. Primetime: This is exactly why I am starting in the X-Division, because it needs me. I am going to go hop in the shower then we can get started. Make yourself at home, just don’t run any water while I am in the shower I hate that. Roberts takes his last sip of coffee and stands up from the table as the screen transitions to after his shower. Roberts is sitting in one chair with Monie sliding a video tape into the VCR connected to his 52 inch plasma screen TV. Monie sits down in a chair next to Paul’s as a Goliath match begins.
As the match progresses, the look on Roberts’ face looks almost confused as he watches the action. Primetime: What is this? You take your kids to the circus or something? Chad: No, that’s Goliath. This match is from a few weeks ago when he faced ASW World Champion Masset. Primetime: That guy looks like a circus freak, they paired me up with a circus freak for an X-Division contender match? Chad: Well he may be big and dumb, but he makes up for it with brute strength. Primetime: So I see, so the guy can lift up the ring who cares? What is he doing competing in the X-Division? Chad: Anyone can compete in the X-Division Paul, just not everyone can succeed in it. Primetime: But, but this guy has all kinds of limits, he can hardly move, in the X-Division the body is suppose to hold no limitations remember? Chad: I cant do anything about it Paul, this is who they booked to fight you in your X-Division match. Primetime: Well okay then, I mean I knew he was big, but I didn’t realize how big, and how…well dumb he is. Chad: Just think of it this way, after you are done schooling the big boy, you can move on to C.A.S.H. who has yet to have ever had any competition in the X-Division. Primetime: Yeah I know, who is this guy he is wrestling again? Chad: Masset…ASW World Champion. Primetime: Really…what a coincidence. Chad: What? Primetime: Oh I had no idea who this Masset guy was, just that he was part of my overall plan to win all the belts. Chad: Where did he fall in? I assume at the end since he is the world champion. Primetime: Eh, by the time I get the title I doubt he will still be the world title holder. Chad: Well then how does he fit into your plan? Primetime: You will just have to wait and find out wont you? Chad: Whatever, anyway, this is Goliath. Primetime: Yeah, I think I have seen all I need to see. He is so big and stupid I should be able to chop him down before the five minute mark. I will have him tapping out and crying like a baby. Roberts gets up and turns off the tape and the TV. Primetime: I am going to go down to the restaurant down stairs and get something to eat, you coming? Chad: That’s it? We watched a total of like three minutes of Goliath. I have like seven more tapes to watch. Primetime: I said I have seen all I need to see, the guys a loser, shouldn’t even be competing in the X-Division and I have to make an example out of him on Wednesday, that anyone who is going to compete in the X-Division better be ready for the no limits world and if you cant handle it then stay out of the Division. Let’s go. Roberts leaves with Monie following. Chad: I still think you should watch some more of the tapes. Chad says as they leave, the conversation is now inaudible. They shut the door behind them and the room is now silent. Will Goliath be ready for the no limits world of the X-Division? Only time will tell, and we will find out on Wednesday at Showdown.
