**--The scene opens up with a real tight, close-up shot at a Trios Championship Trophy. The nameplate proudly displaying Jonny’s name spoils the surprise as to whom this trophy belongs to. As the shot slowly zooms out you can hear Gloria talk to Jonny--**
“It sure is beautiful! You have to be proud baby!”
“I’m beyond proud of it Princess! Spencer, CJ and I worked hard to win these trophies.”
**--Jonny notices Gloria’s worried expression--**
“What’s wrong babydoll?”
“I have to admit something honey.”
“What’s that?”
“I mean I knew that the capabilities of the three of you were good enough to win the trophies.”
“Yeah?”
“I just didn’t know if the three of you would be able to gel in order to win them.”
**--Jonny sports a bit of a confused look--**
“I mean all three of you are different in your styles. And with Spencer saying such mean things about you in the past.”
**--Jonny shrugs his shoulders--**
“You don’t care about what he’s said in the past?”
“I don’t know if I’d say that I don’t care but what can ya do? The words were said. His feelings were expressed. If nothing else, I’d say that that helps me respect him even more. Besides whenever somebody says something negatively about you the best way to get revenge is to show them that they were wrong. Actions speak louder than words and in this tournament I’d like to think that my actions spoke volumes. I’d like to think that I showed him and the rest of the AW roster that I’m here, I represent Action Wrestling in everything I do with honor and pride and I’m not going anywhere!”
“And now you get to show what you have against that Bart Gunn gentleman sir.”
**--Gloria and Jonny turn to face the direction from where the voice came, both looking on in confusion--**
“Not to be confused with his brother Tommy Gunn.”
“How do you know about Tommy Gunn, James?!”
“‘What’s New Pussycat’? ‘I’ll Never Fall in Love Again’? ‘It’s Not Unusual’!”
“That’s Tom Jones!”
“Same bloke…inn’e?”
“NO!!”
“Then who’s Tommy Gunn?”
**--Jonny and Gloria just look at one another--**
“Someone that gets paid to have sex.”
“He’s a sket?!”
“A what?!”
“A…”
“Nevermind James! Nevermind! Tommy Gunn is a pornstar and Bart Gunn has nothing to do with wrestling anymore. The man that I’ll be facing on Halloween night is Roman Gunn!!!”
“Oh my! Halloween sir?!”
“Yeah. Is there something wrong with wrestling on Halloween?”
“My lands no! Just watch out for the ghouls and goblins and witches.”
“Oh my!”
“Exactly!”
“Ya know, if I win this match I enter into the Turmoil Tournament James. The winner of the tournament will be crowned Wrestler of the Year.”
“I hope you don’t have your hopes up too high sir.”
“What do you mean ye of little faith?”
“Have you seen the brackets? It’s a stacked tournament as it is! With all kidding aside, no matter who wins your match Monday night sir, the tournament will be that much more stacked. It can literally be anyone’s tournament to win! And the kicker? Both members of King Shit – the team that’s been trying to get you to join their group – are in this tournament.”
“In fact, if my memory serves me correctly – and we all know that it’s not always the most reliable – if you win, you’ll go next week to face the World Champion Gerard Angelo. If by some miracle you get by him, you could possibly face CJ Phoenix!”
“And what a damn fantastic match that’s gonna be!”
**--Everyone’s attention – including the camera’s – turns towards the door jam where Tony Malato is standing.--**
“Jon’s one of the greatest wrestlers and toughest fighters in the company. First he’s gonna mop the mat with Gunn on Halloween night, the following week he’s gonna kick the World Champion’s ass and show him just who REALLY deserves to be wearing that Championship! Then he’s gonna mow through the rest of the tournament – no matter WHO stands in his way – and officially be crowned as the Wrestler of the Year…even though we already know that he is just that!”
“Thank you T!”
“I mean every word! Now just go out there and prove me and the rest of your fans right! Oh…and the camera crew’s here.”
“Oh bloody hell!”
**--The scene fades to black. The scene fades back in with a close-up on a jack-o-lantern. The dancing flame of the candle within being the only light in the entire room.--**
“Roswell, New Mexico. Is the government holding aliens there against their will? Who really knows? If so, who’s to say that they won’t escape that particular night and wreak havoc on the town and invade the arena? It is Halloween after all.”
“Halloween Night. All Hallows’ Eve. A night of ghouls, goblins, witches and demons. A night filled with magic, trickery and fear.”
“This year it’s a night where one man’s dream will come true while the other’s worst nightmares come true.”
“Roman Gunn. Halloween night will not be your night. Sure, you’re a big son of a bitch. Sure you’re a former CBS Champion. Well I’m not little and I know how it feels to have Championship Gold myself.”
**--The camera slowly starts zooming out. Little by little you can see Jonny as the illumination from the flame begins to show more and more of him.--**
“Ya see, King Shit and I just went through a two week tournament to crown the AW Trios Champions. I’ve been the Hardcore Champion. I’ve been in fights all over the world and I’ve stood toe-to-toe with some of the biggest and baddest sons of bitches that’s ever graced the squared circle.”
“I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I’m not afraid to do what it takes to get the job done. And most importantly, I’m just not afraid of you.”
“Halloween night we fight for the 16th seed in the Turmoil Tournament. The winner of it all? They’re named AW’s Wrestler of the Year! Something that I’ve been striving for ever since coming into this company – the recognition as being the absolute best! This tournament is my opportunity to prove just that!”
“So no matter what you feel that you need to throw at me, you just go right ahead and do it. I’ll take it and throw it right back at ya with much more fervor, much more anger and much more determination.”
“Your classic horror films: Halloween; Nightmare on Elm Street; Friday the 13th; Hellraiser…things like that? As much gore and as much destruction that was represented in those films pale in comparison to what I have in store for you come Halloween night. I’ve been on a roll as of late and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Not for you. Not for anyone! This is MY time to shine and shine I will do!”
“So bring everything you got Roman. I expect that. Just know that I’m going to bring even more! Blood and guts will be splattered all over the arena Halloween night it’s gonna look like Michael Myers went on a rampage in Roswell! A regular Halloween Havoc.”
“After the dust settles and the smoke clears and they’ve cleaned your bloody mess up off the mat, it’ll be I who moves onto the 7th of Novemeber edition of Clash and meet Gerard Angelo. On THAT night I’ll show the World Champion and the world just who really deserves to hold that Championship!!”
“Roman. I don’t care what you say. I don’t care what you do. I don’t care what you think. You’re over there in your own little world thinking that I’m gonna be some kind of pushover. I’m not. I’ve been wanting this opportunity ever since I stepped foot into this company and I am NOT gonna let it slip through my fingers! I will do whatever it takes to win and move on and become the Wrestler of the Year! And there are only two things you can do about it: take it and like it.”
**--Jonny stands up and takes the top off the pumpkin--**
“Your chances of advancing in this tournament will be…”
**--Jonny blows out the candle leaving the scene dark--**
“…snuffed out.”
“Trick or treat”
**--The scene fades to…black?--**
“It sure is beautiful! You have to be proud baby!”
“I’m beyond proud of it Princess! Spencer, CJ and I worked hard to win these trophies.”
