: The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it's a beautiful, Florida day in the yard. It is the home of Outsiders Championship Wrestling: Dystopia!!! The yard looks amazing dude to the hard work of the Mariachi Band. The lawn is mowed, and the bushes are trimmed. The lawn seats are absent, most likely put away in one of the houses for storage. The bleachers are empty and the outhouses are gone. The ring stands in the middle of the yard and in the middle of the ring sits Mike Zybala. He sits crossed legged, with his hands atop his knees and his eyes closed. We can see his eyes moving under the lids, as if watching the unseen. A door opens from the back of the house and out walks President Dean. He looks at Zybala with a confused look on his face before making his way to the ring. Dean climbs up on the apron, slips through the ropes and walks over to Zybala, who pays him no mind. Dean looks down at his sitting friend. :
Dean: Whatcha doing, sucka?
Zybala: Image training.
Dean: What the fuck is that?
Zybala: It's visualizing something while meditating or planning. Right now, I'm focusing on every match and move Peter Vaughn has had in this very ring. I've called all his Outsiders matches from the side, but soon I will be facing him in the ring. So I'm trying to visualize what it would be like to fight him.
Dean: You're actually worried about fighting Vaughn?
: Zybala opens his eyes and looks up at Dean.:
Zybala: Why wouldn't I?
Dean: Cuz I was hoping you would kinda go easy on him. Maybe throw the fight?
Zybala: Come again?
Dean: That's what she said. But seriously, I was hoping you would lay down for him.
Zybala: And why the hell would I do that?
Dean: Because he's one of our main stars for Outsiders! I don't want you going all out and hurting the guy. Plus a win over you would be great for his career.
Zybala: It would also be detrimental to mine! This is my first match in GCWA and I plan on winning it!
: Zybala stands up and looks angry. Dean holds his hands up defensively. :
Dean: Okay, okay. You don't have to throw it. Maybe just bribe the guy with another shot against Uber-man for the belt. Just don't go all out on Pete.
Zybala: I can't believe I'm hearing this. You want me to go easy on our ONLY two time Outsiders champion. A man who not only beat Uber-Man to become the inaugural champ, but also has defeated people like The Lost Soul, Matt Meyhu, and Ian Bishop? That's a whose who of OCW. That guy you want me to go easy on?
Dean: Well, when you put it that way….
Zybala: Yeah! When I put it that way, I better be preparing for a hell of a fight. I've seen from Day One how good Vaughn is. I plan on putting my best efforts to defeat him. I respect him too much to give anything less than a hundred percent. Like I said, this is my first GCWA match and I need to make a statement! I already made claims on a North American title match and called dibs on the vacant World title. Do you think anyone would take me seriously if I just let Vaughn beat me? Or if I won by bribing him with a title match?? No! Besides, Pete is too much of a competitor to take a bribe. He would see it as an insult.
Dean: So you're really going to go all out against the sucka??
Zybala: Fuck yes! I'm gonna treat him like I was facing Ed Houston or Bob Grenier or your buddy Bifford. Peter is going to get all that I got, ring rust and all. It's been a while since I've been in a match but I'm sure Vaughn will help me catch up to my old, superkicking self in no time. Trust me, Vaughn will be able to handle himself just fine. He's a fighter. Though, after calling his matching for so long, I do know what to watch out for. I've seen everything from The Scrub to The Plunge. I can spot his moves before he'll be able to hit them, for the most part. He'll definitely get some hits in, but I am too determined to let this opportunity of making a big impact pass me by. I will clean up the janitor!
Dean: That was kind of cheesy….
Zybala:...... Damn you. I want mozzarella sticks now. I've been out here a while and I'm hungry.
: Zybala walks past Dean and leaves the ring, making his way towards the house as the scene fades to black. :
