ROLEPLAY # 2/2

I N T R O D U C T I O N
MR. KENNEDY......KENNEDY

It had happened. Mr. Kennedy had returned with what he would call not at the top. True he had come back successfully, announced it to the public, got in the ring again, talked on his microphone and told the world exactly what he was planning on doing. But so far, he hadn’t done anything. He hadn’t wrestled, he hadn’t “made an impact,” he hadn’t done any of those things, or any of things he would have liked. If asked, Ken would surely say something along the lines of hoping to have a title opportunity by that point or at least being in the main event the moment his name was etched across the list of the Fusion roster. Instead, he was participating in the second match of the night, which he expressed his aggravation with, in a small conversation with Theodore Long. However, the small exchange of words hadn’t been enough for Teddy to change his mind and so, Kennedy having the second match of the evening still stood. But who exactly was his opponent, and how would Kennedy react to his name?

S c e ne O n e- -I Just Want To See A Movie

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Okay now...what did you want to see?

The scene slowly fades in with the voice of Ken Kennedy, talking in a loud vociferous tone as normal as he holds open the door for his girlfriend Melina. Both WIW superstars are at a nearby Movie Theatre, known as Hoyts. They slowly file into the theatre before shaking their bones off of the chill that had managed to cline onto them from outside. Melina looks up to the listed movie times and looks to see the line fairly long.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: Hitman was it? Ew..Ken do we have to wait in that?

Ken, who hadn’t been paying attention was caught off guard.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Huh...what?

He leans his head over her shoulder and gently taps his lips against her expose neck and she hits him lightly on his chest.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: NOT now...Ken come on I think the movie starts soon and I really don’t want to wait in line behind of these...idiots...they deserve to be ahead of ME in line.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Well they sure as hell don’t deserve to be BEHIND you...I don’t want them looking at you either...

Melina rolls her eyes and nods in agreement, before huffing loudly and decides anyway to go wait in line, truly believing that she should have an open ticket to go ahead in line. She grabs Ken’s hand and pulls him along behind her and stand behind the last person in line.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: So...when do you think you’ll be back on Fusion?

When out like this, Ken tried to avoid the subject of WIW at all, but Melina was scheduled to take a few weeks off and the whole move to Fusion was to spend more time with her, the sooner she got back the better.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: I don’t even WANT to think about work right now...

She tries to look above the shoulder of the taller gentleman in front of her to see how fast the line was moving.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: Why didn’t we go someplace nicer...like more clean?

She lifts up her expensive shoe to look underneath of it.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Look hun, I know you don’t want to talk about it, but I’d like to, you know I need to know how long you’ll be away.

He tries again to take a kiss at her neck but she moves away, attempting to look over one of the guy’s shoulders ahead of her to see how fast the line was moving.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: I just need some breathe time that’s all...just some time away from the whores...

Ken nods as they move up in line a little bit, he wraps his arms around her waist and she leans back against him. He locks his fingers at her stomach and rests his head a top of hair.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: Don’t tell me, you’re messing up my hair by letting your chin rest on it!

He lifts it up instantly and chuckles a bit.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Of course not...

The line moves up just a little bit and Ken’s rolls his shoulders, seeing a few people glance in their direction and finally one brave soul coming up to them, asking both Melina for Ken for autographs. Talking

Brave Fan\\Wants An Autograph//: Hey...Mr. Kennedy...can I have an autograph real quick?

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: No man...beat it... Talking

Brave Fan\\Wants An Autograph//: What the hell man...you want people to support you and you’re not going to sign a frickin’ autograph? That’s bullshit.

Ken unwraps his arms around Melina and glares into the guy’s eyes.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Hell MAN...look...I never said I wanted people to SUPPORT ME! In order to be successful in this business...I don’t need people LIKE YOU...to get anywhere...now buzz off...and the PLEASURE has been all yours.

The guy looks disgusted at Ken and walks off, leaving Ken to turn back to Melina who grabs his hand with a smile on her face.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: Who do people think they are...what makes them so important?

Ken shrugs his shoulders as the line moves up...about five minutes afterward they are at the box office and Ken who is obviously extremely annoyed with the line taking so long approaches the worker, who is extremely timid and nervous behind the window.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Yea you guys need to move DAMN FASTER!

Box Office Employee\\Nervous and Timid//: I’m so sorry sir, it’s my first night...

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: No excuse.

He said these words in absolute seriousness.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Let me get...two tickets...to...Hitman...yea Hitman.

Box Office Employee\\Nervous and Timid//: Yes sir.

She stumbles with the machine and in a frustrated fashion manages to get the tickets printed.

Box Office Employee\\Nervous and Timid//: It’ll be seven fifty today...

Ken sighs in an exaggeration fashion before commenting on the price.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: If you really wanted to see this movie Mel...I could have gotten a bootleg and wouldn’t have had to deal with any people at all..

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: Well we need to get out sometime Ken..I mean..we need to make the world more beautiful you know...without us...there wouldn’t be anything half way...attractive...in the world.

She looks in the direction to the box office worker who happened to hear the comment.

Melina Perez\\Queen of The World//: No offense...hun...you are a girl right?

The girl nods and rips the ticket to hand to Kennedy as he hands her the money, a one hundred dollar bill.

Box Office Employee\\Nervous and Timid//: Sir...I really don’t have change for that right now...do you have anything less..?

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Um...why would I? The girl was a little confused at the question and Ken cuts her off from saying anything more.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: No...I don’t have anything less...now...get me the change while I take this phone call.

He digs into his pocket to his cell phone that was vibrating in his pocket.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: This is Ken you may speak.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Hey Ken...this is Paul.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: I know who it is...I have caller ID...what do you need PAUL?

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: I figured out who you’re going to be facing on Fusion for your return match.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: This interests me...who it be?

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: I’ve had some history with this guy..Rob Van Dam...

Ken bites down on his gum slightly and shrugs his shoulders.

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: No...no doesn’t ring a bell...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Come on Ken...you gotta know this guy...RVD...Rob...Van...Dam...the whole damn show...

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Umm...no...and his name Paul sure as hell doesn’t matter...because on Fusion...when I step in the ring I’m going to win my return match...plain and simple..doesn’t matter who you are when you’re going against...MR. KENNEDY.....KENNEDY.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: I understand that more than anyone Ken...just letting you know...

Ken Kennedy\\WIW’S LOUDMOUTH//: Well thank you Paul...and uh I’ll talk to you later...

Ken flips the phone to turn it off and by that time the change was ready, Ken grabbed the tickets, grabbed Melina’s hand and headed off to the appropriate theatre. The scene slowly fades as we see Ken and Melina walking into the movie theatre and the door slowly closing behind them.
