[Scene fades inside a restaurant in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Jack Kent sits at a table, where JaeVeli is sitting across from him, at the same table, talking to a good looking female server.]

Server: So, like you guys just came here to talk? No eating?

[JaeVeli cracks a smile, and answers the female server.]

JaeVeli: No, sweetheart. This is an interview -- for SIW..?

Server: OHHHHH!! Aren't you that JaeVetty guy?

JaeVeli: *Laughs* It's JaeVeli. And yes.

Jack Kent: The SIW Heavyweight Champ..

[Jae glances at Jack with a smirk, as he looks back at the server.]

Serveri: Riiiiight. Is that like the best, or somethin'?

JaeVeli: Somethin' like that..

Server: Cool. I don't watch. But my little brother seems to be all about it. So, can I get either of you a beverage?

JaeVeli: Sure. Let me get a Henn & Coke. And Jack?

Jack Kent: Just a glass of water, please.

JaeVeli: Water? Come on, Jack. I'm buying.

Jack Kents: Thanks. But I can't. I'm working.

JaeVeli: This dude. You're killin' me. Anyway, glass of water, for Mr. Kent. And a Henn & Coke, for myself. Please.

Server: And that's Henn? What?

JaeVeli: Hennessy. The cognac?

Server: Oh! Hennessy. I knew that. Sorry. I'll be right back.

[She said with a big smile, and walked away. Jae looks over at Jack, whom slightly shook his head 'no', and asked..]

Jack Kent: Not to bright, huh?

JaeVeli: Hey, she's tryin'. Ya' gotta give her that. How are you doing, Jack?

Jack Kent: Same ol' stuff -- different day. How about yourself?

JaeVeli: Honestly? It's indescribable. Almost a feeling of an epiphany.

Jack Kent: Epiphany? Some strong words.

JaeVeli: Life is strong. And life is everything. Too everyone. Black, white, brown, purple, yellow, red-bone, whatever.

Jack Kent: Red bone?

JaeVeli: Yeah, red bone. The darker brotha?

Jack Kent: Brother?

JaeVeli: Yeah, brotha. Black man?

Jack Kent: I know.

JaeVeli: Do you?

[As Jae said that, the server walked up and placed the beverages on the table.]

Server: Here you go, guys. I'll be back around in a few.

[She said with a smile.]

JaeVeli: Thank you, sweetheart.

[Jae takes a sip from his Henn & Coke, as Jake gave the server a smile, as she walked away.]

Jack Kent: Well, let's get the ball rolling, huh?

JaeVeli: Waitin' on you..

Jack Kent: Well, let's get straight to the juicy stuff. Last week, a masked man attacked you, during your match against Mysery. And eventually cost you the match.

JaeVeli: Yeah, he did. He got me -- outta' nowhere. Great job. But hiding behind a mask? That's original. I've had alot of peeps come after me -- front, back, side too side. But never masked. And honestly.. I'm flattered. But don't think for a second, that I don't know who it is.

Jack Kent: You know who it is?

JaeVeli: It can only be one person. Put two and two together, Jack -- you'll figure it out.

Jack Kent: I really don't have a clue. It could be Doogan -- Uzi -- Mike London -- Bozzman -- or even Angel. Either way it should be interesting.

JaeVeli: Either way, they're really not looking for any respect from me, huh? But I guess, that doesn't matter to him. Hell, it could be C-Mac. He seems to turn towards hiding these days. Look at what he did to Heaven.

Jack Kent: Him?

JaeVeli: The masked man, Jack. Stay with me.

Jack Kent: Ah, okay. So, who is it?

JaeVeli: I don't wanna be the spoiler. I'll let him have his 'fun' -- for now. It's cool. I can play head games, too. But, if he wants to get involved in business that doesn't concern him, and cost me a match, in the process -- AGAIN? Well, that's crossing the line. And you know what happens, when you cross the line, Jack.

Jack Kent: What's that?

JaeVeli: You become the hunted..

Jack Kent: Fair enough.. So, how are things between you and Chris Macavedi? The both of you have a tag match together, next Monday -- against Mysery, Raven Frost, and Pam. How do you think that will pan out -- with all the tension between you and C-Mac?

JaeVeli: Damn, Jack. I think that's two questions in one. I hope I'm getting payed for this.

[Jae chuckles briefly, as he continues to answer the questions]

JaeVeli: Chris and me, are what we are -- it is, what it is. But, ever since he walked away from the SIW Heavyweight gold? He hasn't been the same. And he HASN'T carried his weight. Bad decision, after bad decision. Dropping the ball -- you name it, he's done it, lately. But, I guess everyone goes through their slumps. He's still Chris Macavedi, a proven champion. Future legend. And no matter what happens, I still carry great respect for him. He pretty much put me under his wing, as I was a egomaniac rookie. He was exactly what my career needed. At the time. And look at me now. Yeah, he nailed me with a bat, and cost me a match. And maybe, it wasn't an accident. But, it's cool. I'm not stressing it. I'd love to go one on one, with him. But, he has to jump in line, like everyone else -- trying to take a shot at me. And these days, I just got one big target on my head. But, this is what I wanted -- this is what I live for. The challenge. The ODDS. I'm loving every minute..

And as for our match, next Monday? Well, if he stays out of my way, and I do the same -- we'll be okay. But, if he makes another stupid decision? Bad things could happen. And for the record -- I won't duck him, I won't hide from him, I will embrace him. So, if he wants some? He can come get some..

Jack Kent: I see.. So, what about your big title match tonight? Against Mysery. A guy who has two wins over you, back to back. Are you worried?

JaeVeli: Worried? Never. But, are my eyes open? Always. Yeah, he does have two wins over me, via 'outsiders'. But it's still a win. Although, I have a question for you -- were any of those matches, title matches?

Jack Kent: No.

JaeVeli: Exactly. This one tonight? Will be for the greatest prize in our sport. Everything is on the line. And when it's on the line? I'm right there, standing tall. This is what I live for, this is what I work my ass off for -- the main event..

Jack Kent: Yes, I believe you have close to 16 in a row, including tonight's and tomorrow night's match. But, that's nothing official.

JaeVeli: Either way, workin' overtime. And I wish certain people could see that. And look past my ways of not sugar-coating anything I speak about. It's just not how I roll. And frankly, I'd rather have people talk to me the same way, without sugar-coating. Ya' know? Just give it to me straight. Even if it may cause problems. Why prolong it? Get it over with -- move on with your life.

Jack Kent: Any one in particular, that you're talking about?

JaeVeli: Nah, not really. 'They' know who they are..

Jack Kent: Fair enough.. Well, you seem ready to face Mysery, tonight. Are you really?

JaeVeli: Of course, Jack. I mean, Mysery is a tough guy, for all that make-up. But I'm just as tough. I've fought guys that would rip him apart. Not to take anything away from Mys. He's a SIW vet. He knows how to wrestle. Even though his promos are 'out there'. With the blood and supposed 'wickedness'. But, hey.. it's well-known -- the wicked shall fall from their OWN wickedness. Trust me, I know. Been there -- done that. And I really don't care how much blood he has in his promos, or how many chicks wanna bite another chick's neck. That doesn't concern me, and I'm not gonna question anyone's lifestyle. It's not my place. It's their own life -- their own decisions. But, when the bell rings? And the crowd is on their feet? The adrenaline will rise. And the best man will be standing at the end. This is it. Everything that happened before today? Means nothing. Everything lies on tonight's match. And I'm syked. I'm ready. I could start this match, this very moment. But, Jack.. I thought 'goth' died in the 90's? Isn't it 2007?

Jack Kent: I wouldn't know. But, yes, it is 2007. Are worried about any outsiders getting involved in your match, tonight?

JaeVeli: Well, it seems to be a theme lately -- getting involved in JaeVeli's match. So, I wouldn't be surprised. Though, I'm not worried about it. But, I'll be watching for it. And it's getting really old, to be honest. But, haters will always lurk. It's the way of life. Somebody's always targeting your spot. Ready to steal it from you. I'd be doing the samething. If the situation was reversed. Anyone with the desire, would do it. It's the nature of the game.

Jack Kent: Well, Mysery seems to strongly think that he will be walking out the new SIW Heavyweight Champion. What do you have to say about that?

JaeVeli: Well, I would hope he's thinking that way. If he wants any chance of winning. You have to invision success, to gain it. But, let me be straight about it -- I'm not handing anything over. He will have to work harder than he has ever before, here in the SIW. And if you think about it, this has to be his biggest match, in the SIW, to date. He's never held the SIW title. So, I'm sure he's plenty thirsty for it. But, I'm just the guy to drive a stake, straight through your heart, when you LEAST expect it. And I've worked to hard to let some guy just take everything away, in one match, this soon. I don't think so. Over my dead body, Jack.

Jack Kent: Okay. You don't seem like the same JaeVeli, I'm used to inerviewing. There is something different. I haven't even heard you use foul language yet. Just who am I talking too?

JaeVeli: Fuck, it's me, Jack. I haven't changed. I'm just humble these days. I'm gonna let my actions speak for me. And get the job done. As I've done quite a few times, one would say..

Jack Kent: One would say..

JaeVeli: I know. But, did you watch Mysery's last two promos? The guy's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. Almost in some sorta fantasy world, huh? I feel like I'm facing a child with unrealistic dreams. And somebody has to break his heart. Show him some truth. Show him the light..

He can talk about Chris or myself waking somthing up inside of him, all day. But, I haven't seen anything different. And aside from all of that -- this will be a tough fought match, from both sides. And I will attempt a handshake, at the end, win or lose. Because it's all about putting on a great match for the fans. Bottom line. They make our paychecks -- we are nothing without them. They are the push that makes us move. And if you got 10,000 fans behind you, during your match? That's a huge advantage. I've come to realize. And it's about time, I show the respect that is very much needed. You can't bite the hand that feeds you. It will only bite you back, in the end. In any case.

And much to Mys' disbelief -- I don't think he's a pushover. Nobody with nothing to lose is a pushover. Nobody. But, he must not watch very closely, or listen. I've told him already -- C-Mac didn't hit me with a chair, it was a bat. But, it doesn't matter. It's neither here, nor there. The past is the past. But, some people should pay closer attention. And the guy seems to be fixated with me. Talking about trying to live my lifestyle? What is that? That sounds like a poser, too me.

I didn't chose my lifestyle. I was born into it. It's just who I am. And this guy choses lifestyles like it's a pair of shoes. I don't think he even knows his own identity. Bi-polar, maybe? Who knows. But, what I do know? I can give hime the defintion of 'TrapStar'.

It starts with 'trap'. The trap is slang for going to a strip club, or a house that sells drugs from it, or just being in the hood. Either way, it's a trap. Strip club? You're giving up dollar bills to skanks and skeezers. That's a trap. You're going to a house to buy drugs? That's a trap. The hood all together -- is a trap. And I'm nothing short of 'hood'. Hence Tha TrapStar. Like Yung Joc says.. 'you can find me in tha trap'. And how do I know this? Well, I am, exactly who I say I am. I don't hide behind a fecade, or a false pretence. I do, what I say I'm gonna do. I don't try out some other lifestyle, like trying on a pair of shoes. I stay real, always and forever. The fans will see this eventually. And they will give me my respect. As I will do in return. You gotta' give; too receive.

And tonight, Mys better use every play in his playbook. Pull EVERY card. Or he will fall short. Like he's done in the past. And they say.. history always repeats itself. And that's very much true. I know first hand. And I kinda feel bad for Mys. I'm the strongest I've ever been. He's facing a JaeVeli, that's very much prepared for anything. So, Mys.. thanks for telling my title is on the line. But, I knew this already. And I'm actually a lil' bit insulted by that. As if I had no clue. Do you think, I got where I am, being CLUELESS? Let's be real. Hard work, a lil' luck, complete precision, and hitting my opponent where it counts.. Has got me, where I am. Nothing was by accident. I seen the ball, grab it, and ran with it. Pretty simple. But, you still have to go out and get the job done. And I've done that. And I don't plan on stopping with you, with all due respect. And come Red Alert? It's your..

Reality Check..

Served..
