~~The Following is a JC Production~~
**--We flashback to Revolution V where we see Jonny Cedrone limping along in the backstage area after the brutal Hardcore Championship match with Ash Blake and Zolton. Gloria is walking side-by-side with her husband as she applies pressure to the wound on the back of his head with a towel to try to get the bleeding to at least slow down until he’s able to be seen by the trainer.--**
“Oh baby. You’re definitely going to need stitches in this one too.”
**--Jonny takes a big drink from his water bottle--**
“The fun was worth every stitch though.”
“You actually had fun out there? It looked like a train wreck!”
“It felt like one too but it was still fun!”
“I’m sorry you didn’t win sweetheart.”
“Hey, ya win some, ya lose some. But ya know…a big piece of me is extremely satisfied with the fact that I was the knockout blow to Zolton that got him pinned. Not too happy that Miss Blake conveniently woke up at that exact moment to knock my ass out and get what would’ve easily had been my win, but happy that it wasn’t Zolton just the same.”
**--They stop just outside the trainer’s door, look at each other, smile, share a kiss before going into the room. The camera stays outside of the room but Jonny is heard saying something before the door shuts behind them.--**
“I hope your sewing skills are honed in Doc because you’re gonna need them for this one I think.”
“Oh baby. You’re definitely going to need stitches in this one too.”
**--Jonny takes a big drink from his water bottle--**

“You actually had fun out there? It looked like a train wreck!”

“I hope your sewing skills are honed in Doc because you’re gonna need them for this one I think.”
**--The scene fades to black then the camera shot fades out to reveal that we were watching the same scene that Jonny Cedrone was watching on his TV in his office. The camera is locked in on Jonny now having turned and looking out the window, leaned back in his office chair with his feet propped up on his desk, seemingly lost deep in thought. Off camera we hear a knock on the door.--**
“Come in!”
**--We hear the door open then close, then we hear the clicking of heels on the hard tile of the office. Into the camera shot saunters the ever-so lovely Miss Gloria. She sees Jonny sitting there deep in thought, almost ignoring the fact that his wife has made her presence into the room. She comes over to in front of him where he finally looks up and sees his beautiful bride and lets out a huge smile. She throws his feet down onto the floor and uses his lap as her personal chair. She wraps her arms around his neck, he wraps his arms around her waist--**
“Hi baby!”
“Hi Princess! How you doin’?”
“I’m okay. Worried about you a little.”
“Aw! Thank you babydoll. I’m okay. It’s healing up pretty well! It was just a few stitches.”
“What about your neck though?”
“It’s good baby! I promise!”
“It’s not just that though. You’ve seemed a little consumed by something. I don’t know if it’s by the loss or if…if you’ve gotten the taste of blood and you actually enjoy it. You’ve been down that road before honey. You became a totally different person – a monster! I don’t want that to happen again.”
“Baby. You don’t have to worry about that ever happening again. I promise! I’m totally different than I was then.”
“I know! And I’d love to keep it that way!”
“Trust me sweetheart! I won’t go down that path again! I guess I have been a little consumed though and I thoroughly and sincerely apologize!! You know me and those ‘what if’ situations though. I tend to focus on them – obsess over them – a bit. What if I woulda done this? What if I woulda done that? What if I woulda done this differently?”
“I had Zolton beat! That Hardcore Championship was in my hands!! That Ace in the Hole through the table…had him beat…without question. But I hesitated.”
“You were hurt yourself baby.”
“Yeah, but that’s not a good excuse. I’ve been through these wars before. I shoulda made sure the coast was clear. That was a rookie mistake!”
“You’ll get’em next time baby!”
“I hope so.”
“Confidence my love. Confidence!”
**--From off camera we hear another knock.--**
“Come in!”
**--Jonny and Gloria look off camera towards the person entering the room. Into the shot walks an older, gentleman with a bit of a pale complexion wearing a black tuxedo and white gloves. He stands statuesque at the corner of the desk with his nose in the air.--**
“Yes William? What’s up?”
“‘What’s up?’ sir?”
“Nothing much! How about you?!”
**--Jonny and Gloria share a laugh but William has nothing to do with it. The only response he can muster is a raised eyebrow--**
“My apologies sir…madam…I do not see the humour the same way you silly Americans do.”
“Do you see humor at all Mr. Ellingsworth?”
“Humour is overrated.”
“Oooookay. Well honey, that’s my cue to leave. I have a few things I have to do before the filming crew comes in.”
**--The butler’s demeanor changes quickly as he becomes a little less rigid…borderline riddled with anxiety--**
“Film crew madam? We’re having the film crew here again? I had no idea. I would’ve made sure to have tidied up a bit.”
“Don’t worry about it William! You do so much around here. We’ll take care of it.”
**--William stands there for a moment, looking up at the television screen as it plays the Hardcore Championship match. He sports a perplexed look for a moment--**
“What’s wrong Wiliam? You look like you have your underwear on wrong again.”
“Is that…are you fighting Zordon again sir?”
“Yeah…well…still…technically. Just in a different company.”
“Oh! You left the fantasy world of the Headquarters of the Wrestling World?”
“They closed their doors…again.”
“The White Knight has left Earth 1 for bigger and brighter things…or more of the same as he still wrestles Zordon.”
“Zolton.”
“Bloody hell sir! He’s an ancient being’s floating head in a tube! You still can’t beat him huh?”
“Don’t you have something to do?!”
**--The scene fades to black. When the scene fades back in, a spot from the Hardcore Championship match at Revolution plays on the screen. Jonny Cedrone jumps off the turnbuckle with Zolton’s head in his arms as he drives Zolton through the table with a devastating Ace in the Hole! The fans lose their minds thinking that Jonny Cedrone is about to add his name to Action Wrestling glory by unseating Ash Blake as the Hardcore Champion! Then WHAM! The chair to the back of his head from Ash Blake that dashed those hopes and dreams followed by the pin from Ash Blake to Zolton sealing the deal. The camera zooms out to once again show Jonny Cedrone leaning back in his chair with his feet up on his desk.--**
“Revolution 5 didn’t go quite to plan for us did it Zolton? Well, technically it didn’t go quite the way you wanted it to. For me, it actually went pretty well! Sure, I didn’t win the Championship…but…neither did you.”
“You have fought so hard and for so long to get your hands on that Hardcore Championship that you actually believe that the title is legitimately yours Z! But yet you haven’t been able to get the job done. Miss Blake has found a way to get the upper hand and keep that Championship – no matter what it took! The Hardcore Championship obviously means a great deal to her. She cherishes it, there’s no doubt. And because she holds it in such high regard and cherishes it so much, she will fight for it until there’s no life left in her…kinda like how I feel about the sanctity of my marriage Z.”
“There have been bad blood between us professionally. You lay claim that I’m jealous of you and your success. On the contrary actually Z. You obviously don’t know me as a person and as shown by Miss Blake at Revolution, I guess it’s inconceivable for someone to actually have positive things to say about their mortal enemy – or as society is today I guess it’s inconceivable for anyone to have anything positive to say about anyone anymore. But that’s where I break that mold. Because I’m really not such a bad guy Z. In fact I’ve been told that I’m sickeningly sweet. Too sweet to be in this business. I disagree. I think in the world we’re living in, we need more positive things said about one another. I think that in this world, positivity needs to outshine all of this negativity being thrown around so haphazardly anymore.”
“So with that, I’m going to say in response to you feeling that I’ve been professionally jealous of you. I’m jealous of nobody Mr. Zolton. Each of us have our own path in this business. Each of us have our own path in this life. Some people become more successful than others. Some people become successful faster than others. At the same time though it depends on how each individual measures success. That’s all part of life Mr. Zolton. You became World Champion in WWH faster than I did. I applaud you for that! I truly do! Yes it was something that I was on the hunt for. Yes it was something that I was striving to be. You just got there faster than I did. It’s all good! ……The thing of it is that my day was coming and it was coming soon. It was just a shame that the company folded when it did because that Championship that you tout so proudly – as you should – would be sitting behind me right now in my trophy case with the rest of my past Championship gold.”
“You are a phenomenal athlete Mr. Zolton. One of the best and toughest that I’ve ever seen and been in the ring with. No, that’s not just smoke being blown up your shorts. I mean every word. All of your accolades prove just that. I’m looking forward to stepping into the ring with you one-on-one. I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a loooong time! Do I wish the circumstances were different? Absolutely. It is what it is though. I appreciate this opportunity and I won’t take it lightly. Just like I didn’t take the match at Revolution 5 lightly! You cannot deny the fact that I stood in the trenches with you and Miss Blake and held my own!”
“I’m the one that had you beat Z! Don’t forget that! I’m the one that laid you out! I’m the one that made you easy pickings for Miss Blake. Come this Monday, you’ll just be easy pickings for me! Nobody else! A year’s worth of anger and hatred…coming to a boil! Monday night it all boils over except we’ll be going from the pot straight into the fire with this fight Z. We’re gonna clash like two gladiators in the middle of that ring. Only one person can take home the win. Only one person can take home the bragging rights!”
“Monday night, this fight and this win will go out to my beautiful wife! To the victor go the spoils! In this case, so will payback! As we all know, payback’s a bitch and this time she’s coming in hot and heavy! Looking forward to it Z.”
“Come in!”
