“So here we go again...”
“Another shot”
“Another chance”
“Another day at the office.”
“I wonder if he’s realised yet...”
“I wonder if he can see”
“The biggest threat isn’t Mr Johnson...”
“The biggest threat is me”
“Hey I’m a poet”
“And I didn’t know it”
“Mr Multi talent....”
“That’s me...”
“Ask and I can do...”
“I wonder if that’s why people hate me....”
“Nah that can’t be it....”
“Must be the whole arrogant thing”
“The cocky thing”
“The BETTER THAN YOU thing....”
“Another shot”
“Another chance”
“Another day at the office.”
“I wonder if he’s realised yet...”
“I wonder if he can see”
“The biggest threat isn’t Mr Johnson...”
“The biggest threat is me”
“Hey I’m a poet”

Location: Subway restaurant Miami Florida Time: 10:00am
Alex Jones comes off the beach after a morning run, sweat dripping off his body as he regains his breathe. Alex walks across the road to a local Subway restaurant to..you know...eat fresh......as he walks in he notices the place has just opened for the day and no one else is in line. A tall buff looking older teenager is at the counter, a smaller boy is sitting at the till with glasses on, the smaller teen looks and has to take a double take of Alex to make sure it’s him.
Alex: “Hey man...I’ll have a foot long meatball on Italian herb and cheese....”
The taller jock looking guy nods and cuts the bread, meanwhile the younger nerdy kid starts to move from the till looking like he wants to say something but doesn’t.
Jock Clerk: “What cheese?”
Alex: “Just normal cheddar....”
The nerd inches closer....
Jock Clerk: “Salads?”
Alex: “Capsicum, Olives, Jalapeños and carrot.....”
The nerd is standing next to the Jock employee with a huge goofy grin on his face.....
Jock Clerk: “Sauce and salt and pepper?”
Alex: “Marinara sauce and no salt or pepper.....”
The jock goes to step to the side and runs into the nerdy looking kid....
Jock Clerk: “HEY WATCH IT SKIDMARK!”
The kid falls down and then pulls himself up....
Nerdy Clerk: “Don’t you know who this is?....it’s Alex Jones....former Two time NCW x-Division champion, former tag team champion, Elite eight winner....”
Alex smirks and nods at the kid, the Jock just nods and turns.
Jock Clerk: “I thought you looked familiar....I hope Venom beats your ass.....”
Nerdy Clerk: “Come on man Alex is an amazing athlete and he’s beaten Venom before....”
The Jock Clerk stares at the Nerdy Kid for about five seconds before shoving him into a table with paper cups lined up.
Jock Clerk: “Now pick those up you waste of space...”
Alex: “Is that really necessary?”
Jock Clerk: “He’s just a little Nerd man..c’mon you’re an athlete...you know those people need to be kept in line....”
Alex blinks and raises an eyebrow.
Alex: “Wow you really are an asshole.....”
Jock Clerk: “Pfft....Like I care what you think..Venom is the man and he’s going to make you look like an idiot like he used to in XHF....”
Alex: “You’re a huge Venom fan aren’t you?....”
The jock nods and unbuttons his Subway shirt to reveal a Young Guns T-shirt
Alex: “So you’re an arrogant Jock who thinks he’s better than everyone else and treats others like dirt just to make himself feel better?. And I’m guessing at school you have a little clique of followers who follow you around and tell you how great you are and are always padding your ego?”
Jock Clerk: “Uh yeah....”
Alex: "And you’re a Venom fan?....”
Jock Clerk: “Yeah...”
Alex turns and “breaks the fourth wall” raising an eyebrow at the nonexistent camera
Alex: “Well..that makes sense....thanks for the sandwich.....and you should be nicer to the kid.....he’ll probably be your boss someday......”
Alex walks out and shakes his head before opening his Sub.....
Alex: “Damnit he forgot the extra sauce......”
“So here I was expecting something more from you Ricky....”
Alex folds his arms over his chest sitting on the balcony of his hotel room looking out over a beautiful Miami sunset....
“I was expecting a smart and strong individual who would talk about his athletic prowess and how he’d be able to beat myself and Venom. Instead I get a paranoid individual who gives out office performance reviews and talks about the hidden sexual meanings in words and films. What exactly does “rosebud” have to do with Venom or the national title or your rampant paranoid delusions?. Then again maybe there is no meaning, maybe you just like talking about vaginas?.”
“Hey that’s fine man....”
“I like talking about Vaginas to....”
“Just not in public....”
“Or when referring to a match for a major title....”
“Then again no one really knows what goes on inside that head of yours. On the one side we have Venom’s paranoid delusions of grandeur, on the other we have your ramblings about disrespect. What the hell?. Did you two both study “heel attitudes 101”?. Here’s the thing boys. Your attitudes and your personas won’t win you ****. Venom your whole better than you leader thing you have going. Doesn’t work with me, why?. Cause I beat you, I’ve beaten you time and time again and I already took one title of yours, I guess it’s only fitting I take a second, and one you’ve held with such pride.....”
“But Ricky, I warned you, I told you not to overlook me and then what do you do?. You overlook me and just talk about Venom, do I even exist in your little crazy world?. I should Ricky. See I’m the underdog in this little fiesta we have going. We have a dominant champion and then we have you the contender on a roll. But what I have in my heart is much more powerful. Redemption. And my redemption, my resurrection is that National title. I promised the world I would dethrone Charlie Velez, give the world a world champ they could be proud of and I failed. And because of that Failure Rob Diamond is now the champion. So the greater of two evils is now in control.....”
Alex sighs and shakes his head
“I suppose now I have that chance at the redemption I crave. That chance to depose a young gun and switch the balance of power.....and I refuse to let anyone stand in my way...least of all you Ricky Johnson. So this is it, my talking is done, my comments are over, this Sunday I take the National title....I take my redemption in both hands and I make sure everyone will remember what and who I really am....”
