****2/25/01-From the Honeymoon Suite at a Doubletree Hotel in Nashville, TN-2 people in attendence****

(The scene opens at approx. 4:13 AM. We see Johnny Gunn sitting in an armchairin front of the TV where the replay of NFWA Game Time is playing. He has a bowl of popcorn in his lap, a beer in his hand and he's got a devilish smile on his face. Suddenly his eyes light up)

J-Dogg: (With a huge grin) NIKKI!!! WAKE UP! IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!!!

(The camera focuses on the bed where we see Nikki squirm around in the covers. She sits up, stretches and yawns)

Nikki: (Yawns) Johnny...it's almost 5 in the morning. Why don't you...(yawns) go to...go to sleep?

J-Dogg: Hey, I stayed up and watched this whole PPV over again just to see this moment again!! (Laughs) It's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life! Come look!

(Nikki gets out of bed and walks over to Johnny. She's wearing a red teddy and her hair is a mess)

J-Dogg: Here it comes...3...2...1...

NFWA Commentator: And My god! Panther Turns around and from behind it is firestorm with a blow tourch he has just lit panther on fire! Firestorm is limping, he looks like he just roze from the dead! He is laughing at Panther and Panther in such a panic he just fell of the roof!

J-Dogg: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! (Laughing so hard tears comes to his eyes) That...that was the funniest...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Stupid Panther fell off the roof!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my God...I've gotta get that on...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Remind me to buy that tape, will ya, Nik? That was classic! HAHAHAHAHAHA...(notices Nikki has a sad look on her face. laughter quiets down a bit) Ha...haha...what's wrong? You don't think that was funny?

Nikki: (tears in her eyes) How could you laugh at something like that?

J-Dogg: C'mon, Nik! He broke my neck!

Nikki: I know...but me and Panther always...we had a...excuse me!

(A disraught Nikki bursts into tears and runs into the bathroom as J-Dogg sits astonished. After a long silence, Gunn finally responds)

J-Dogg: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Greatest thing I've ever seen!!! Panther got it!!!! Aww man! That was great.

(The phone begins to ring. J-Dogg walks over to it and answers)

J-Dogg: Hello?

???: Hello...is Johnny Gunn there?

J-Dogg: This is h...wait! Who the f*ck is this?!

???: This is Ralph Lee Oswald, from the Nashville Times. I'm calling to ask you about your match on Sunday.

J-Dogg: Ralph Lee Oswald, huh?! Ralph Lee Oswald?! OK, but let me ask you a question Ralph Lee Oswald, do you own a watch?!

RLO:(Long pause) No sir, I do not.

J-Dogg: Uh...ok. Do you own a clock?

RLO: (Longer pause) Hey Betsy...do we have a clock? (Pauses again) No sir, I do not.

J-Dogg: (Sighs) are you fucking with me?! Cuz let me tell ya, I don't like it when people fuck with me?! It's 4:30 in the fucking morning, and I'm not in the fucking mood to be fucked with!

RLO: (long pause) I want to ask you about your match on Sunday.

J-Dogg: (Sighs) Oh Lord. Well what is it?! What do you wanna ask that's so important?!

RLO: Tomorrow you fight John Dux...

J-Dogg: Who???!

RLO: John Dux. The UXBWF Heavyweight Champion. I just wanted to get your comments about him and how you think you will do.

J-Dogg: John Dux. Where do...oh yeah, the putz I saw on TV earlier. Well Ralph Lee Oswald, you wanna know about Mr. Dux well then I'll tell you about Mr. Dux. Well, let me tell you in his own words. You see, the guy is "6'4" 240lbs of rock solid ripped muscle". He's a great athlete, no doubt about that. He's also the stupidest son of a bitch ever to walk the face of the Earth! Dux...

RLO: My name ain't Dux. My name is...

J-Dogg: Look, I don't give a damn if your name is Slim Shady, from now til the end of this interview me Dogg, you Dux! Now Dux, do you even listen to the words that come out of your mouth?! You come out here running your mouth about how I complain about losing titles and all that kinda bullshit. Hello????! (Whips out the LHW Title Belt) Me, Light Heavyweight Champ! Me, Best Damn Light Heavyweight in the Biz! Me, Undefeated in singles competition! You, about 110, nah, 210, nah, 310 kgs of dogg shit that's about to get scooped up and disposed of by the D-Generate King! And then you got the nerve to run around with that fat ass brother of yours and overgrown cockroach you call a girlfriend and you talk about how you're taking me to the next level! Geez! Dux, what is wrong with you?! (long Silence) Well?!

RLO: My name is Ralph Oswal...

J-Dogg: WILL YOU SHUT UP????! Dux, ok! So you're gonna take me to the next level, huh? Now when you 1st said that I thought to myself and I said "Johnny, this guy is taking you to the NEXT LEVEL tomorrow night. I mean, you're already an icon in this business, you're already main eventing, selling out cards, got merchandise hanging out the ass, a foxy chick and a whole lotta cash...but the next level??? What can be greater than this??!!" And...well, I got a little bit excited for a while. You can understand that, can't ya?

RLO: (To the tune of the Jefferson's theme) Ya Be Movin' On UUUUP!!!!!

J-Dogg: Uh..yeah. But...in between the time I sat here falling into a coma watching your incredibly boring interview and watching Panther...(snicker...tries to hold in a laugh) get his ass handed to him, I've had some time some time to think about the next level. You see, there is no next level for J-Dogg! J-Dogg is the best that there can be, nuff said. So I figure when you say you're taking me to the next level that you mean YOUR NEXT LEVEL! Ya know...I mean, 1 match with J-Dogg and you won't be living in that cardboard box on the corner of 5th and Main anymore, will ya Dux?! Nope! You get to move to the NEXT LEVEL...to that big dumpster in the alley behind the nudie bar on 5th and Main! And then after your match with me, you won't have to fight the rats and the cockroaches for leftover fries in back of the White Castle on 8th and Spring Garden. Uh uh! You're moving to THE NEXT LEVEL...fighting rats and cockroaches for leftover fires in back of the Wendy's on 8th and Market!!! Oh boy, Dux, ain't the next level gonna be fun?! It kinda...almost kinda sorta makes you look forward to getting your ass beat by J-Dogg tomorrow...(looks at his watch) I mean tonight!

RLO: Yes.

J-Dogg: Did I say that you could speak?!

RLO: But I have questions.

J-Dogg: Alright. What's you're question Ralph Lee Oswald?

RLO: Now, John Dux says you probably won't show for the match tomorrow. What do you have to say about that?

J-Dogg: RLO, do you wanna know why he says I won't show up? H...

RLO: Yes I do.

J-Dogg: (Pause, has an angry look on his face) Ya know, lucky for you you're not in this hotel room with me cuz you'd be catching a royal ass whooping from the king of the Dogg Pound. Now back the Dux, this guy is pathetic. You wanna know why he says I won't show, well it's so simple even a woman can understand it: Dux says I won't show cuz he HOPES I won't show, and he HOPES I won't show because he is absolutely, positively afraid of me. And damn it I can't blame him 1 bit! You see Dux...BTW, you're Dux again, Ralph Lee Oswald. Ya see, Dux...do you know what Tre Ramzey, Scarlet KV and you all have in common? Shut up, cuz I'm gonna tell ya. It's not that you've all been World Champ...it's not even that you all are afraid of me, but it's that each and every last 1 of you at some point in time was living in a fantasy world, pretending to be champion, pretending to be...what's the world I'm looking for? Superstar?! Oh yeah, that's a good word. Well let me tell ya sumptin pally, a superstar you ain't, and a superstar I be! Now right now, I'm gonna tell just like I told your little friend Tre, and just like I told little Hand Blade, this fantasy ride you're on, it's over once you step in the ring with me. The UxBwF was created with the hope and dream that someday a magical man would step through those doors and represent as a true champion! A true role model! A true hero that everybody can look up to. And Dux let me tell you what, that ain't me! But that's what they're gonna have to settle for for now, because like it or not, hook or crook, the Revolution will kick into high gear and J-Diggity-Dogg will be walking out of that arena the UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Champion of the World. Now can you dig it????!

RLO: Man...you're cool to talk to on the phone? Can I have your autograph?!

J-Dogg: Uh...you do realize that since I never even heard of you before tonight and since we're not in the same place, you ain't getting shit, right?

RLO: And Besty wants 1 too. Can ya make it out in real purtty letter colors! Like pink and gray!

J-Dogg: Na...you...(flags his hands and continues) Well back to Dux. Now, 1 thing that I noticed you saying is that you don't know me, and that will never change, right?! Wrong. You may not know the body, you're not even worthy of knowing the face, but there's a part of ol' John-Boy that you're gonna get to know real well...(puts his boot up on the chair, looks into the camera and taps it)

RLO: What's that noise?

J-Dogg: I'm tapping my boot, idiot! That's the part of me Dux is gonna know real well after Xtreme Rumble. And as for the rumble itself, 37 bastards, 37 pieces of shit, fuck em all, I gotta title shot so the damn thing don't mean a damn to me. Let that be Mass D's prob. But back to you, Dux, I'm gonna beat your ass to Spain, to Japan, to Italy, to France, to Mexico and back again! And mark my words, you will feel the Dogg's Bite, and 3 seconds later I'll be walking out the brand new Champion, the new RULER of the UxBwF! Like I said before, Dux, that ring is my House, and before you go snooping your nose in my Dogg House I've just got 1 little word of advice for ya...BEWARE OF DOGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maim (in the other room): Hey J, lower ya fucking voice, bitch!!!!!!

Female: Harder Maim!!!!!

J-Dogg: Hey!!!! It's 5 in the morning! Keep that damn racket down in there! Alright, that enough for ya, Ralph Lee Oswald...yah? Well goodnight!

(J-Dogg hangs up the phone. He walks back over to the arm chair and takes a seat as Nikki walks out of the bathroom. Her eyes are red like she's been crying. She sits on the bed)

Nikki: Johnny...who was that on the phone?

J-Dogg: Oh...that was Panther.

Nikki: (Smiling) Really???! He's ok???!

J-Dogg: Yeah. He looking for his ass. I think he dropped it after Firestorm handed it to him last night...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Did you see that???! That was the greatest thing!!!!

(Nikki picks up the bowl of popcorn and dumps it over his head, She hops into bed, turns out the light and the screen fades to black)
