Jonny is sitting behind his desk going through paperwork when into the scene comes Gloria. She slinks her way over to Jonny, twirls him around to face her. She straddles his lap and they share a tight embrace.
“Hi!”
“Hi!”
Jonny grins as they just hold one another for what seems like forever.
“It’s been too long since I’ve felt this.”
“Ahhhgreed!”
Gloria pulls away from the embrace but only so they can kiss.
“I’ve missed you. I’ve missed this. I’ve missed us. It feels good to be rekindling what we had.”
“Ahhhgreed baby!! I love you.”
“I love you!”
“When you’re finished, we’ll uh…take care of business.”
“Absolutely!”
They kiss once more before the scene cuts to Jonny looking out of his panoramic window overlooking Vegas.
“A couple of weeks ago I came up short of winning back the US Championship. But that wasn’t the only thing that I lost out on. As quickly as I entered into the Match Madness Tournament, I was eliminated. But you know what?”
“I don’t think I can be mad at it. Doc and I put each other through Hell! He valiantly defended that Championship and didn’t stop until he got the win and kept it. He earned that win. He deserved that win. My hat’s off to him.”
“But that doesn’t mean that I’m through with him.”
“At Clash I have the absolute honor to be involved in a match against Vespertine and Karlie Nash. The winner goes on to Match Madness and challenges for the US Championship.”
Jonny turns around and walks towards his leather couch.
“These two highly educated athletes in Vespertine and Karlie Nash are formidable opponents. Not even gonna lie, I’m lookin’ forward to this match. Now, I can stand here and scream and yell and tell the entire world that I have this match in hand. I can say that they might as well just go ahead and put me in that Triple Threat match at Match Madness. Even bein’ as confident as I am in my own skills in that ring; even knowin’ just how hungry I am to get the US Championship back around my waist, not only for myself but for The People…I can’t stand here and do that.”
“In this match…anything can happen.”
Jonny sits, and leans forward and rests his arms on top of his knees with his fingers touching one another.
“Vespertine is well-versed in this profession. There’s a reason she’s known as the Well-Rounded Fighting Machine. No matter how much bigger her opponent is, she doesn’t back down. The only reason why she knows the meaning of the word “fear” is because she strikes fear in the hearts of her opponents! She’s a buzzsaw in that ring and she’s on a mission. Vespertine, I have to admit, I had to cheat a little and look into your profile, and let me tell ya somethin’. Anyone that has died once and was brought back to life by her sensei, that’s a cause for concern. I don’t care who you are. That screams to me that you’re basically impervious to pain, but I can’t deny that I will have the utmost fun inflictin’ as much pain as I can to ya! I consider that a challenge and I don’t back down from challenges Vespertine!”
“And there’s Karlie Nash! She’s AW’s resident Olympic Gold Medalist! She’s one of – if not THE most decorated athletes on AW’s roster…if not in the entire professional wrestling industry! Karlie, from everything I’ve seen, you have nothin’ to be ashamed of. You’re constantly considered one of the best this company and this industry has to offer and whenever anyone sees your name across from theirs on the card, they get butterflies in their stomachs. That’s what a world-class athlete does! They make their opponents second-guess their abilities in the ring and second-guess whether they have a chance to beat you.”
“The both of you are considered two of the best wrestlers to have ever stepped in the ring. With me added to his mix, everyone knows that our match will be a wrestling clinic. That’s something that I look forward to if I’m being honest. I’m excited to be in the ring with the both of ya. But don’t take that excitement and the respect that I have to the two of you as a sign of weakness. Because while I know that the two of you are hungry for Gold here in AW, I have to say that I’m just THAT much hungrier than you. Because while you want this…I NEED this. I NEED to win this match. I NEED to win the match at Match Madness. I NEED the United States Championship! I was close to winning it a couple of weeks ago, but we all know that close only counts in hand grenades and a game of Horseshoes. The only thing that matters are wins and losses. And while I do wish the two of you the best of luck, I’m not comin’ into Monday night with a happy-go-lucky attitude. May the best person win kinda attitude. I’m comin’ into Monday night with the determination to win and I promise you that I will do whatever it takes to win. So bring your best! Just don’t be too upset when your best isn’t enough!”
Jonny stands up and looks seriously into the camera.
“Because I’m that much better.”
The scene wraps up and Jonny hurriedly walks back towards the bedroom with a smile on his face. Just as he reaches the door, his phone rings. He looks at it and sees that it’s Francesca. He hesitates before ignoring the call and turns off his phone. He opens the door and through the crack we see Gloria sitting up in bed with the sheets covering the “forbidden” parts shooting him a grin. Jonny enters the room and closes the door behind him. We can hear the door lock as the scene fades to black.
“Hi!”
