The scene slowly opens up inside of the Joe Everyman household, but now in the normal areas. The cameras show us the basement of the house, where Joe's personal gym is. The camera pans across the room, showing all of their fairly expensive equipment. Finally it stops on the leg press machine, where Maria is using more weight than a women of her size should. Joe is spotting for her, kneeling next to the seat of the machine.
Joe Everyman: Come on Maria, if you want to win this week, you're ganna need to push harder.
Maria Williams: I know...I'm trying...
Joe Everyman: Trying isn't good enough. Either you can do it, or you can't.
Maria slowly starts using the leg press again, slowly picking up the speed in her reps. After about eight reps, she slows down and stops.
Maria Williams: Alright Joe, the camera are here.
Joe Everyman: Ok, just remember to do what I showed you, and you'll do good. I love you.
Joe gives Maria a kiss before leaving the room.
Maria Williams: I love you too.
Joe grabs a towel and starts heading upstairs. Maria grabs a towel as well and wipes all of the sweat off of her face before turning towards the camera.
Maria Williams: I just got done watching your promos a few hours ago, Rayne, and I have to ask you something. Can you please get off your high horse before our match on Suspense? I don't care how long you've been wrestling, because when it comes down to it, the only thing that matters is the here and now. And by the looks of it that way, I have a big advantage over you already. Like you said, I have to be good to be good enough to wrestle in nCw. That part is fact. But using your logic on that, if you were as good as you say you are, shouldn't you have been invited to nCw when the Women's Division first started? I was invited in, and not just because of my husband. I was invited in because Leonard Fox has seen how I had wrestled before. Even though, I had only had two matches before now, they were both wins. And, they were both against men. I beat a man, twice. And before today, I had no idea who you even were. I already had a reputation, when yours was as forgettable as Starship Troopers two.
Then again, for all I know, you could have beaten two guys before. But for that, they would had to have paid up front, if you know what I mean. But, I digress. The fact of the matter here is that even though you claim to have been wrestling for twenty years, you have nothing here to show for it. So what if you were wrestling when I was back in school? Twenty years mean you started wrestling when I was three years old. All it means is that you're old. Not like "old" old, just older than any of the other women wrestlers here. In my eyes, that means you're past your prime. No matter what, in this business, the older you are, the worse you tend to get. I am only twenty three, while you are thirty eight. I have fifteen years extra of youth over you. That means I'm going to be stronger and faster than you have been in a long time. You may consider yourself a veteran of the ring, but so far, I am not impressed. I can't even seem to find video of your matches anywhere. Were your old matches really so pathetic that nobody wanted to record them?
And, I have to ask...where did you find the nerve to bring up my husband? By my recollection, you don't even have one. Everyone has said that you are a single mother. Was it that he was unfaithful towards you? Or maybe he just found someone better. Or maybe he just stopped loving you because you were a heartless b*tch. Or, maybe even best yet, you were a little whore and couldn't keep your hands off the other guys while you were traveling around. Whichever way it went down, it seems like your life isn't as perfect that you want it to be. But my life is as perfect as I want it to be. I have a loving husband, amazing friends, and a beautiful daughter. I am doing what I love, and I am having new experiences every day. I am in the prime of my life right now, and I am loving it.
Can you say the same about yourself? A single mother, wrestling still at the age of thirty eight. And you still haven't hit your big break yet. But, that is something you and I have in common. I am yet to hit my big break yet as well. I may have won my share of matches, and I'm sure you have won some too. But neither of us have hit it big. But I do know what the feeling is like. I had a match against Zelda Knite a few weeks ago, and even though I didn't win that match, I know what it's going to take to win it big in nCw. There are alot of very talented wrestlers in this company, including all of the women wrestlers. I am in this elite group...but you will never be in it. Rayne, you're going to fizzle out just like all of the other nobodies who came through here.
But there was one other thing you said that was true. You said that it seems like people who loss to my husband never seem to make it here. And you know, you are right. Joe has a knack for ending careers early. He is a legend killer of sorts as well. He put down Spike, he put down Lance, he put down Milo. He's ended or set in motion, the ending of so many great's careers. And I think I may want to pick up a similar monarchy. Joe is the king of ending careers...so why shouldn't I be the queen? You say you want real competition, and you won't have to look any further than right here. I feel the confidence this week. Joe has taught me so much so far, and I'm ganna use it all to put your career into an early retirement. I had a great showing against Zelda Knite. You aren't anywhere near to being as good as she is. So I will wish you luck in our match. I may as well be civil if you will be as well. But you better start taking me alot more seriously. You can say all you want about how my husband and I don't have a good reputation in this company. But in our hearts, we know that we are winners. And you'll see that this Friday on Suspense. You're going to learn the hard way why you should NEVER f*ck with an Everyman!
Maria smiles and turns back to the leg press machine and resumes her workout as the scene comes to a close.
