We open with a video package. We see Hugo performing amazing stunts on a skateboard. We see him surfing the Pacific Ocean, this is followed by home video of he and Dutch sky diving. We see Hugo being awarded the X games gold medal. His helmet still on his head he was so nervous. The video fades to Stacey Peralta.
Stacey: When I first saw Hugo, I was really impressed. I couldn't help but compare him to an early Tony Hawk. The kid was flawless, until he messed up. Then he would dust himself off and study. really study what he did wrong, take a second to visualize how to fix it and he just wouldn't make that mistake again. He corrected himself and went on to the next challenge.
We cut from the legend of extreme sports to a testimonial from Shaun White the young buck of the industry
Shaun: I have competed with Hugo a lot. We came up together. The kid is incredible. I tried to get him to try out for the Olympic team with me but he declined. I honestly think he would have made a couple medals. Turns out he had that heart condition and he was afraid he wouldn't be eligable. Sucks to cause like I said he would have went far.
We fade to a few more videos of Hugo rock climbing, getting big air on a dirt bike, and speeding down hill on a street luge.
Tony Hawk: I think the industry is losing what would have been a living legend. But hey man keep fighting and when you're ready come on back.
The video package ends.
Now we hear the busy sounds of a hospital. Machines are clanking, beeping and shattering. In the distance an old man is bellowing. His time is coming. He knows this. No amount of expensive hospital machinery will save him from the hole in his heart. The next room over Hugo is sitting in a hospital gown. The room is white from wall to wall. Next to a cabinet is a sink. We see Dutch slide across the room on the wheeled doctors chair.
Dutch: How do you feel kiddo?
Hugo: I feel really good, better than I usually do man.
Dutch: Ok well, I suppose that's a good thing right? Heart can't be in to bad of shape.
Hugo: No, I don't think so...But What if it was?
Dutch: What do you mean?
Hugo: What if those doctors come in and say my hearts worse than ever?
Dutch: I don't know Hugo, luckily I have a feeling that's not gonna happen.
Hugo: But we don't really know. What would if Dutch?
Dutch: I don't know Hugo, I suppose I would have step in and put a foot down on this whole wrestling thing.
Hugo: Is that right? And would these plans include keeping me off a skateboard to?
Dutch: If you're heart was bad enough I couldn't imagine sitting by and letting you hurt yourself. Kill yourself.
Hugo: You know what would I would do Dutch?
Dutch: What would you do?
Hugo: I would go and wrestle my match. And if that hole in my heart didn't kill me then I would find the nearest beach and I would surf until it did.
Dutch: And here comes Hugo's immature cynicisms.
Hugo: Just be prepared Dutch, that's all I am asking of you Dutch. Prepare yourself to hear whatever news those quacks in the white coats have for us; good or bad. it changes nothing.
Dutch: Do you want to die? I know that must sound strange to hear someone ask that. No body wants to die but we all do...But you always seem to be looking for the carpool lane.
Hugo: Life's short Dutch and we never know when we're gonna go. The fuse is already light, we're just waiting for it to go.
Dutch: Well I will stop you right there cause you're gonna be fine.
Dutch slides across the shiny white floor again, the wheels scuffing up the floor. he hits the door as the doctor tries to open it. Hugo and Dutch share a brief laugh as the doctor walks in holding MRI results.
Hugo: So what's the deal Doc, am I going to see another sunrise?
Dutch: He has such a good sense of humor doesn't he? it's almost annoying.
Doctor: Yes, well Hugo despite your best efforts. or I at least it's your best efforts I would hate to think there is more mischief you are planning, you have not aggravated your heart in the slightest bit.
He places the MRI photos on the wall as he points out the little imperfections.
Doctor: If I didn't any better I would say you were perfectly healthy.
Hugo: Healthy as heart can be with a gaping hole in it. Sounds good to me.
Hugo pops up off of the bed and begins throwing his clothes back on.
Doctor: Hugo, we have been pretty lenient with you and with results like this I think we have no reason to regret the things we allowed you to do but I want to talk to you about this new career path.
Hugo looks dead in his uncles eyes.
Hugo: Did you put him up to this?
Dutch: I think you should at least listen to what he ahs to say.
Doctor: I can't break doctor patient confidentiality but I can say that I have worked with other professional wrestlers and I can say from my experiences with them that it takes an incredible toll on the body. Much more than your skating ever did. My fear is with this career path the hole in the heart will triple in size by the end of the year...
Hugo buttons his shirt and looks away out of the window. He hates the view.
Doctor: It means you would have gone from a manageable condition to Intensive care. And you won't be leaving this room ever again.
Hugo: if that's what the universe wants. Whatever happens, happens.
Doctor: Hugo I am telling you this right now with forty years of medical experience and certainty. Forget your karma and universe. This is scientific fact, Hugo wrestling will kill you.
Hugo: am I in immediate danger?
Doctor: I cannot say for sure.
Hugo: Thana how can you say at all? Not only is this disease a case by case basis but you said it yourself I am completely at my normal functionality and that's after two weeks of wrestling. I have a huge match.
Dutch: Hugo...
Hugo: Don't interrupt me I am not done yet. You have never had to deal with this. neither of you. You weren't born with holes in your heart. You weren't on the operating tables instead of in your mothers arms the day you were born. I was and every day of my life I was told about all of the things I couldn't do because it may aggravate my heart. No play ground for you Hugo, no gym class for you Hugo, no roller coasters...I wasn't allowed to do anything at any rate or limit. Until I took **** into my own hands and began breaking limits. I have been living a life and that would slow down anyone with a heart the size of a tank engine. I haven't slowed down and I am not going to. You're going to sign the release doctor or I will find some shady clinic to sign it.
Doctor: OK...but case by case basis only I want to regularly rate and monitor your heart.
Hugo: thank you...
it's an hour later. The stale smell of sanitized hospital has finally drained from their nostrils as they sit inside a Subway restaurant eating a foot long.
Dutch: That was quite a speech in there. How long did you work on it?
Hugo: You know me I just go with the flow. I don't preconceive anything. especially some heartfelt speech. Excuse the pun.
Dutch: Well kid like I said, if this is your choice I am going to back you up on it. No matter how much I want you to reconsider it.
Hugo: Well Dutch I really do appreciate it.
Dutch: I guess it wouldn't be so bad if the guys you were facing were a little more humane, less insane.
Hugo: You really believe the hype behind those guys?
Dutch: Nero threatened to cripple you with a skate board.
Hugo: And who won that match? Like I said to him, his threats were hollow because he spent more time in front of a mirror trying to look
the part than actually living it.
Dutch: Well what about this red dragon guy? He was in an insane asylum. They were sick of him got rid of him only for the guy to go back and attack his doctor.
Hugo: meh...
Dutch: The man had someone crucified.
Hugo: Dutch...part of this business is a show. Those promos of his are a ruse to try and frighten his opponents before the damn match. His antics are ridiculous. the guy is a borderline cartoon character Dutch. He is has this persona of some demented inmate but I mean come on if he actually did any of those things he would still be in the padded room and locked up. I am young but I am not dumb. asylums don’t let the kind of nutcase who would crucify someone out. They lock them up, pump them with drugs and throw away the key. He is trying to get into peoples heads and play mind games. I will not be fooled by him.
Hugo looks away from his uncle and stares into the fourth wall of the camera lens, it's almost as if this is the first time he recognizes the camera even being there.
Hugo: After two weeks of competing in the nCw I am going into a pay per view event. This is in many respects just like the x Games, gravity games, Dew tour etc. We have competed and honed our crafts and now we have center stage to duke it out and proof to the world just who the better man really is.
I am facing Red Dragon in the wired pre show but I have a feeling people will be talking about me the rest of the night. I am two weeks into a career that if Hexx, nero, and Red dragon had their ways would be a short and forgettable career. I don’t regret to inform anyone that despite the threats I am still here, still standing and yeah undefeated.
But this is a feat that Red Dragon probably will ignore. He, like my last opponent seems dead set on making hollow threats and goofy laughable promos that look like they were from some b horror movie
in a 1970's grind house drive in theater.
Truth be told I believe for a second that I am facing a mad man who assaults doctors and crucifies people. I see he also like to harass and terrify cameramen. Bullying is the first sign of weakness. If said cameramen would just raise their chests and step up I think they would capture the truth on film and that is Red dragon is just another wannabe cartoon character trying to convince the world that he is something that he is clearly not.
It's strange, last time I checked I wasn't a reoccurring character on the munsters but it seems since I arrived I have been thrown into the ring with a bunch of parodies of horrifying hollywood characters.
But Dragon is into mind games, he has even named himself after a killer from the Hannibal Lecture saga so I fully expexct to see some really "creepy" things from him in the last days and hours before we meet in the ring. and hey man that's fine. Try your best to intimidate me cause I likes me some entertainment. Just let me know if Buffalo Bob is going to make a cameo appearance cause I am not so good with putting the lotion on the skin.
In all seriousness A good friend of mine Bob Burnquist recently accomplished a nearly impossible feat, Bob Burnquist has joined Tony Hawk, Sandro Dias, Giorgio Zattoni, and Alex Perelson in the exclusive 900 club. And he did a fakie to fakie which has never been done before.
Where I come from this is like slamming Andre the Giant. I wasn't present for this but we spoke on the phone after, I saw the video and it has helped me. I am now more focused than ever because it's events like that that really set things into perspective. I could have continued dedicating my life to the half pipes, dirt mounds and ocean swells but I chose the squared circle and I am looking for the wrestling equivalent of the 900.
I am Hugo "bones" Conway, a thrill seeker and nothing you say or do is going to stop me from proving I can and will find that 900. Aside from goofy personas you and I are very alike. We have similar styles and identical finishers. I guess it will come down to who can execute them better.
I want to be the best, I want to compete with the best and I want to beat the best. But before I can do that I am going to have to get through you, and I don't think you can compete head to head. I will get bigger air and draw a better score. But in this run the scores wont be 10. 10. 10...but one two three, and after I defeat you I will have gone another week undefeated.
