Scene up and we find the greatest stable in nCw today; The Empire, seated along a round table. Davey Ortega stands at the front of the room blabbering on about something or other and jotting stuff down on a big white board. Sexy Jason sits, watching intently and taking down notes. JFK is typing into his blackberry cell phone. Probably making more business deals with Kelly Kaos or some other fool that got retired by the guy sitting at the back of the room, anxiously tapping a pencil onto the table. The man was Steve Awesome of course and he really didn’t seem to happy to be where he was at this point in time.
That’s not to say he was having second thoughts about being a part of The Empire, not by a long shot. It’s just, well, These Empire meetings were boring! It’s the same thing every time, every day. Ortega stands at the front of the room, talking about getting titles and being the best. But honestly, somebody should tell Davey that he is in the presence of The Empire and quite frankly, we know. We are fully aware that we are the best and it’s only a matter of time before we all claim the titles we want.
Most of the time though, Steve could just grin and bare it through these little meetings. But this time his mind could only think about Trent Helms. Awesome wondered why Trent would be so stupid to challenge him one on one. It almost got him to a point of anger to think that one of his best friends in this business would make the effort to try and stand between him and the world championship. The people were starting to understand that Steve wouldn’t let anybody get in the way of him achieving his goal of becoming champion let alone somebody as close to him as Trent was. Was friendship enough to slow him down? Is Trent Helms safe from the Awesome Onslaught that has victimized many superstars before him? One thing is for sure….Trent Helms was wondering that very same thing.
Awesome checks his watch. Four O’clock on the dot means that there was probably another two hours left in that meeting. No way was he going to sit through all of that crap. So he puts his pencil down, stands up and pushes his chair out allowing the legs of the seat to grind against the floor and startling the rest of the group into giving there attention to Steve.
“Sorry guys, but I’m leaving.”
Ortega checks his watch.
“But there is still another hour, and I wanted to go over our plans for Reborn with everybody involved.”
“Yeah, see Davey I would sit here and listen to you but when I think about it, I just can’t do it.”
Awesome says as he eyes the door.
“You’ll miss the plan.”
Ortega pleads.
“What’s the plan? To win?”
Davey sifts through his folders.
“Uh…yeah. But I was going to make it a little bit more in depth than that.”
Awesome grins.
“Dude, I don’t need an hour long pep talk on winning. I’ve been doing that since I got here. And I’ll do it at Reborn too.”
Steve turns around and heads toward the door.
“But your facing Trent Helms this Sunday.”
Ortega calls out, causing Steve to turn around.
“You act like it’s impossible to beat him.”
Ortega goes silent. Awesome seems confused by the glare coming from Davey but the eventually gets it.
“Oh that’s right. You never beat him….heh wow. I’m just going to go before I say something else bad. Don’t worry Davey, I’m not going to let Trent walk out of Reborn a winner that’s for damn sure! I’m part of The Empire and well, we’re better than everybody.”
Davey nods.
“See, that’s why you’re my favorite.”
JFK and Sexy Jason both look up, a bit pissed off by that comment.
“No. I’m every bodies favorite. And you guys are boring me, so I’m outtie. Good luck this week though. I’m rooting for you guys.”
Steve turns around and heads out the door.
The scene fades to....
