The scene opens up with John Anthony closing his cell phone while jogging down the street. Some fans are booing him and some are cheering for him. He is currently wearing some Nike shorts and an Empire t-shirt. He gets to a spot in the park where there is no one around. But you do see a camera crew all set up. John walks over to them shaking their hands and sits on the bench drinking some water and he begins to speak.
Anthony: I want to address Reckless Jack. What the **** were you doing in my match? I don’t appreciate it at all. I am capable of handling my own business plus my boys had my back. I will take care of you after the Pay Per View is over. I have better things to attend to at the moment. NWS will be going down at the PPV. I will make sure of that. Craven is on my mind until after the PPV. Huge test for the both of us I would have to say.
Craven you ready for this? You ready for this war you and I will be battling in? I’ve been waiting for this day to come. Two huge stars here in the NCW fighting for the right to call themselves the number one contender! God that has a great sound to it! John Anthony number one contender!! It will happen, Craven. Everyone here knows it. You have skill but your mind is shot Craven. It’s your partner TVO. You need to get away from him. Craven from what I read, you work better alone. **** the tag titles right now you need to focus on your self. We all need time to heal and retool our batteries. Losing is tough. I have lost here but it’s how quickly you get back up and keep battling on. I’ve won a couple of matches in a row and we find ourselves at the same cross roads. Is this what Johnny Craven wants? If so then we are going to be on the same page. Someone is going to have to kill me in order for me to lose this match. I will do everything I can to win. I mean anything to win. Craven I want this match. I want people to stop looking at me and am like why does he say he’s good? I know I am good but these people have nothing to see. I need this match so they can say Anthony is number one contender, he is an asshole, but he is the number one contender. For myself and everyone around me I need this for confidence. If Spike Kane for some reason loses to Mason then you see John Anthony at his best. I don’t want to think that I will not compete hard, that’s not what I am saying if I had to face Kane for the title is what I am saying. But I need to take a step back first. I am looking at this like I already won even though I haven’t yet. There is nothing that feels as good as kicking a man that is already down. Craven you are at rock bottom right now.
Anthony twists open his water then takes a few swigs. All of sudden you see someone else come running up to Anthony. It’s none other than Richard Marciano. They begin to speak.
TXO: Sorry to interrupt man. But I had to see my boy.
Anthony: No Problem man. My camera time is your camera time. Ya know what I mean?
TXO: I know what you mean. Same with me brother! I have Craven this week huh?
Anthony: Yeah, one of the top players here. Very good competition; should be a good week for Anthony and rest of the Empire. Speaking of the Empire you make a decision yet?
TXO: That is something that will have to be discussed off camera. Yes I’ve made my decision.
Anthony: I see. When will I find out?
TXO: Everyone will have to wait until the PPV. From a stand point that I have been doing my whole career it be fun for a change. If you know what I mean!
Anthony: I know what you mean. So you excited about facing Ghost?
TXO: Yeah I wish I was on the card for real though. It’s been a while. I’m sure once I’m in the match for a while everything will come back to me. You read what he wrote about me?
Anthony: I had Jason send me the tape. He was even shocked.
TXO: I always seem to bring the best out of people. You realized that? Every single time it happens. That was a damn good promo he cut. Not the best but pretty damn good. Here I am talking to you like we are in high school. Not saying that you’re a child or anything. Maybe I’m wrong to be coming back.
Anthony: Stop being a pussy! You are a *** damn legend. He could only wish to have a career like yours and you’re only thirty-eight!!! Hell you’re still in your prime. I shouldn’t see anything but fists flying, boot stomping, and blood pouring from his head. We all know that you have done that to best of them. Your last stop in the WCF you were a damn hardcore freak there.
TXO: I know but a few months from the ring could be some rust there. I know my body I know what I can and can’t do it that’s damn obvious. I just have to be smarter than him. He’s young and he is quicker. I guess I’ll have to use my mind more. He doesn’t know what he’s going to get in the ring John. He thinks I’m some push over that he’s going to run through. Well to hell with that. I’m pissed off now. Ghost is nothing and will be nothing here. He has had one match and already he’s calling himself the man, the myth the legend. Who does he think he is? He’s ****ting on everyone before him. He’s literally dropping his pants and popping a squat on them and squeezing **** all over them!!! Come on. I’ll put this little boy is his damn place this weekend. He won’t know what he’s getting into. Hey boy, if you’re watching this be ****ing ready. I don’t care if I’m not aloud to swear or not! I am TXO! I practically invented the word Xtreme. I have done more things in my career then you will do in your whole life. You won one ****ing match big deal. I have won thousands kid. I have laced my boots more times while you were still sucking your thumb in diapers. I am getting a little pissed off who cares; I can do what I need to do. You’ll hear more from me. You can bet your pansy ass on that one. Normally I do this type of work, but you know what this isn’t the same old TXO either. People will have to get used to that. Just like the company says new! Well so is TXO! I am new, we also have new people so Ghost see you around.
Hey John sorry to take your time I’ll be in touch with you. Oh, stop by the gym Earl wants to see you.
Anthony: Will do Rich. Later!
John reaches down to tie his shoe. Comes back up opens his water bottle takes a couple of swigs sits down on the bench and finishes what he was talking about.
Anthony: Now where was I? Ah yes, so Craven why have you been silent all week. I thought by now we all hear something from you. Don’t tell me you are chickening out on me? That’s not you and that is not me either. If there is someone that loves a good fight like me, its you! I get that. I get what you are all about. I have seen you personally destroy people. I was a fan of yours, back in the WCF when you and TXO where in the same group. Oh yes the Red River Mafia. See if you’re anything like you were back then, well this will be the biggest test of John Anthony’s career. This can define my career. I do not want people to say John couldn’t win the big one. When ever he gets stiff competition he fails. I want to go in this match and win. I do not want anyone to say well John won because of this or that. So far you are just plain quiet. I don’t like that. I want to know what you are thinking. I want to know what is going on inside of your head right now. Say something!!!
John walks over to a tree breaks some branches off of it. Looks over at a police officer heading his way John has a strange look on his face. Officer begins to speak.
Officer: Is everything ok sir?
Anthony: Yeah, just fine officer.
Officer: Is there a reason why you’re destroying that tree?
Anthony: I am pissed off right now and I just happened to be by this tree. Don’t worry about it I will donate a hundred tree’s to the town.
Officer: I am giving you a warning. If I have to come over here again you will get a ticket. Have a good day.
Anthony: Yeah you too.
John flips the cop off as he has his back turned. John looks back at the camera and begins to speak.
Anthony: Just a few more days and hopefully we will be talking about me being the number one contender. Craven I know you want this. Who doesn’t want this? In then end when everything is said and done I will have my hand raised. I will be the number one contender. Craven you haven’t heard from me for the last time. See you around.
John begins to start jogging again and turns and runs right past the officer that stopped him. John just smiles and the camera fades.
Anthony: I want to address Reckless Jack. What the **** were you doing in my match? I don’t appreciate it at all. I am capable of handling my own business plus my boys had my back.
