The scene opens far from the usual setting of Philadelphia, 1000 or so miles South to be exact. The sun is high in the sky over Florida and the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter as the camera finds Jayson Price walking amongst the crowd, appearing to be in search of something. Accompanying him is his longtime colleague/punching bag, a new face to Action Wrestling, Cameraman Bob. He hasn't been a cameraman in years and his name may not even be Bob, but nobody cares enough to find out.
Cameraman Bob: I'm telling you, this is a waste of time.
Jayson Price: Shut the fuck up Bob. Somebody told me that I'm facing a witch this week and where better to do scouting that their home base?
Cameraman Bob: Home base? This is a god damn amusement park! Look around you, we're surrounded by children and their parents! Besides, everyone knows that witches aren't real.
Jayson Price: Okay, smart guy, if witches aren't real then why would so many people get into the lifestyle. Why would they build amusement parks, make countless movies and TV shows, sell costumes...
Cameraman Bob: Well they make all that stuff because they know that lonely losers will spend tons of cash on stupid shit if they market it right. As for the people that buy it, well, that's a little bit harder to explain.
Jayson Price: Goth chicks with daddy issues. Lonely, single fat women that avoid the sun like they do salads. Childless, barren broads that escape into fantasies because they can't deal with real life. Oh and of course the hot girls that dress slutty for Halloween. I like those.
Cameraman Bob: Of course you do. But back to my original point, this is a waste of time. You should be getting ready to wrestle a match, not trying to find out the reason people cosplay as a Harry Potter character.
Jayson Price: You moron, there isn't a better place than this to prepare. I'm going up against someone like these losers here, somebody that's using some fantasy person to escape reality, right. Well I mean look at these people...
Price gestures around him at the passing by members of the crowd.
Jayson Price: I can scout Claire Hawkins perfectly by just examining these sorry bastards. Just look around at all these headcases that have spent two or three paychecks on cheap robes and 'wands' because they don't have a life back home worth living. Claire has people buying into this idea that she is more than just a cosplayer, more than a little girl who screams because she knows it's the only way to make people listen to what she's saying. A god damn, bondfide 'metal witch', whatever the fuck that is, that can take on the world with a can-do attitude and a little gumption. Well fuck every single stupid word of that bullshit. I see a girl that never escaped her goth phase from High School. I see a girl that watched The Craft a few too many times. We're talking daddy issues meets personality disorders and they fuck until you get the kind of girl that you're pretty damn sure cut herself for attention in middle school. You know the type, right Bob? Fuck, I'm pretty sure that you married one.
Cameraman Bob: Hey, my low standards aren't on trial here.
Jayson Price: The only thing more depressing is that she divorced you. But I see past all of that smoke and mirrors, the bright ass hair and make-up that looks like it was applied by a 6 year old, the growl of a wolf pup...all of that bullshit. Take all of that away and you're left with a girl with a wild imagination that's managed to play mind games with people for a long time. I know psychological warfare, I've done it my entire career. But what people fail to realize is that trying these mind games on me has never worked. People have been trying to get inside of this head for years, trying to understand exactly what it is that makes me tick. They've tried to bring me down by focusing on things like my drinking, my history of questionable partners, my...well for fucks sake, just about everything that I've done, they focus on it. But does it work?
Cameraman Bob: It doesn't work.
Jayson Price: You're fucking right it doesn't work. I do all of that god damn shit that you people call 'embarrassing' and still find a way to win matches and titles. I don't need to dress up like a Hot Topic employee and practice dark arts in my parent's basement to try to look threatening. I don't need to growl and scream like a toddler about how tough I am so that people will respect me. I don't need to do that shit because I've got enough god given talent that I can get by while doing nothing more than being Jayson Price.
Cameraman Bob: The history books don't lie.
Jayson Price: You're god damn right they don't. Now let's get the fuck out of here.
The scene fades out to black.
