Accolades of nobody

::Enforcer is sitting in a chair in his dimly lit living room of his Central Park West high rise apartment. He is watching a replay of Friday Night Inferno as Alessandro Quagliaterre has his hand raised after defeating Dex Griffin. A hand suddenly lands on Enforcer’s left shoulder. Enforcer looks up to his left to see his wife, Justice Orton-Cross, standing there.::



Justice Orton-Cross:Why are you sitting here watching Inferno in the dark? What is wrong with you?



Enforcer:You already know the answer to that.



Justice Orton-Cross:Yes, I do. Yet I still love you despite all of your flaws.



Enforcer:(Smiles)Despite all of my flaws? That is so kind of you.



Justice Orton-Cross:What can I say? I am a gracious giver.



Enforcer:Is that so?



Justice Orton-Cross:You know it is.



Enforcer:Or is it possible that I am the benevolent one in this marriage?



::Enforcer smiles and winks at his wife. Justice rolls her eyes which causes Enforcer to chuckle.::



Justice Orton-Cross:You are actually the lucky one in this marriage.



Enforcer:You are correct, my love.



::Enforcer’s cell phone dings to signify that he just received a text message. As Enforcer reaches for his cell phone Justice quickly leans over and grabs his cell phone.::



Enforcer:Baby, what are you doing? That’s my cell phone.



::Justice sits on Enforcer’s lap.::



Justice Orton-Cross:Babe. What is yours is mine and what's mine is mine.




Enforcer:What?!?! That doesn’t sound like a good deal for me.




Justice Orton-Cross:That is because it is a great deal for you. I am your life partner. Which is why what yours is mine.




::Justice looks at Enforcer’s cell phone to see it is a text message from a GCWA Intern saying Adrenaline Rush 4 has officially been announced.::



Justice Orton-Cross:Well, look at that, babe. Adrenaline Rush has been announced.




Enforcer:What we expected?



::Enforcer reaches out for his phone.::



Justice Orton-Cross:Hold on, hold on. I’ve got to read this. I just reminded you that what yours is mine.



Enforcer:My mistake.



Justice Orton-Cross:Of course.



::Justice hands Enforcer his cell phone to him and he looks at the screen to read the text message.::



Enforcer:To be expected and no surprises here. The benefit of when two or more wrestlers have to wrestle in a number one contenders match the champion gets to start studying and gameplanning before those potential challengers get to really focus in on the current champion. There is no doubt in my mind or anyone else’s that the newest challenger to my World Television is the biggest challenger to my hardware. It’s no bullshit because that is exactly what it is.



::Enforcer sets his phone down next to the remote control to the television and looks at Justice.::



Justice Orton-Cross:Alessandro has definitely proven his worth thus far in his GCWA tenure.



Enforcer:You are right, babe. While I don’t doubt his in ring ability. I don’t even mind his self confidence and ego. I actually admire it because as we all know that is half the battle in this business.



Justice Orton-Cross:What is this? Nineteen eighties G.I Joe?



Enforcer:(Shocked)How do you know about nineteen eighties G.I Joe? You weren’t even a gleam in your dad’s eye until early eighty eight.




Justice Orton-Cross:First of all, yuck. Never ever speak about a gleam in my father’s eye around me... Actually never speak of that ever!



Enforcer:Noted.



::Enforcer is inside a wrestling ring at House of Glory Wrestling School in Jamaica, New York. Sweat is covering his gray t-shirt. He sets his forearms on the top ropes as he looks over at the beginners class that is going on across the gym.::



Enforcer:I have realized and am at peace that I am closer to the end of my career than the beginning. I have traveled the world, made a lot of money, been in the ring with many of the very best to have ever stepped into the ring, and I have won countless championships. Despite my ego being as how it is that I am always sure of myself especially when I am inside the ring. I still remember the days where I was still wet behind the ears, St. Patrick day level green in this business, and anything is possible. Not that Alessandro is green but sure in his excellent ability in the ring and anything is possible. A small part of me misses those days but dammit I did the damn thing in my day. Which is why I can talk the talk since I have walked the walk for so many years and I can put myself over like I do.



::Enforcer walks over to a ring corner and grabs a bottle of water. He opens up the bottle and takes a swig of water. He puts the cap back onto the bottle and sets it back down in the corner of the ring.::



Enforcer:I’ll be the first one to admit my championship reign didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked but that is part of life. People have all experienced not going as expected even the almighty Alessandro Quagliaterre. If you say otherwise you only devalue your very own credibility.




::Enforcer turns around and looks back into the center of the ring.::



Enforcer:Everyone who has ever stepped into the ring holds the mat in high regard. If not, then why do it? Because this business is too brutal to do it just because. So, if you become the next Television champion and you want to follow in the steps of Madusa and Scott Hall then I say do you. It won’t take away from anything I have done or will do in the future because in all honesty you aren’t as important as you think you are, Alessandro. Because you are falling in line with what the ignorant sycophants of this business do. Which makes you in all reality a benign star.



::As Enforcer is standing in the middle of the ring the camera fades to black.::
