Tangled Intangibles..
* Cameron Cruise RP for C03.
(Fadein, Cameron Cruise dressed in blue jeans and a black T-Shirt with sitting alone on the far end of a bar in Boston. His hair combed back, he brushes some out of his face as he takes a swig of a beer and then another one quickly after to signal to the bartender his need for another. He scratches his five-o-clock shadow he's had for three weeks and turns his head left and double-takes when he sees the camera at first glance. Watching the cameraman hand the bartender a stapled few pieces of paper, the bartender walks down and hands it over to Cruise with a single audible whisper of the word 'transcript', and walks off. Minutes pass as Cruise takes a look through the papers and occasionally drinks from the bottle. Finally, he tosses the paper aside, takes a ragged breath and clears his throat, motioning for the bartender for another drink. The Bartender nods and proceeds over as Cruise swivels around on the barstool and puts his head on his right hand and motions for the camera man to come closer, so as that he could be heard clearly.)
CC: It's nice to know that there's at least some concern for another human being around here, even though it's pretensed with a higher reason for being, Boston isn't exactly known for it's passion for people in sports, at least as long as it doesn't have anything to do with the Red Sox or the New England Patriots.
Which by the way...Bill Belichek...my kind of coach (feigns a thumbs-up coupled with a sarcastic smile).
Stacy Jones wants to open up her way of putting things to me by making notice that I've not really gone out of my way of saying anything straight out of the gate, even though she's barely exceeded the drinking age by afew years and probably done nothing exceptional either in the time between when the bell rings.
Hey Stace....blow it out of what I'm sure you think is a tight little pert backside.
It's nice knowing that you're able to make notice that you're a woman. If I didn't know any better, had you not said that you might've come off as something else entirely and then maybe The Druid could waste more time by offering up his cosmic concepts as The First offers up his ideal for what it could possibly mean for the future in this business.
A woman?? In WRESTLING??
(Cruise open-hand-slaps himself across the face.)
This is the first time I've ever even heard of such a thing!!! What's next, giving women equal rights?? Oh wait...they already approved the NINETHEENTH AMENDMENT.
You beat Adrian Willard.
(Cruise claps sarcastically.)
So what?? I've beaten him every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The fact that he actually even CONSIDERS himself a "Prophecy", is a JOKE.
You claim you don't whine and bitch but yet you just did it twice with the outburst you had about Willard and the one earlier about myself. Hell, honey I've been wrestling professionally since before you even hit PUBERTY.
You're a former TV Champion?? Bartender...(Cruise thanks the bartender for the beer and halts him a second as he finishes another swig of beer), send that hussy a bag of beer nuts, wouldja?? Evidently it's better than the cookie she offered me.
Congratulations, honey. But I held the NEW ERA Television title AND the Tag Team titles at the SAME TIME.
Now, I've also accomplished dozens of other things, been a World Champion in many other places, and done things that you could only DREAM that would make you into what you THINK is a "legend". But none of those titles, championships, anything remotely close to a NOTE-WORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENT OR ACCOLADE...none of it matters...HERE.
But myself...Cameron Cruise, I am a legend. Hell, around this end of the circuit, people know me, they even think I'm a "swell guy".
But you?? You're nothing but a "Polly-Princess" wanna-be.
But what you said about being dangerous might not be without the realm of a possibility.
'Course, outside of your last two matches...no one this side of the circuit HAS seen it, so whose to say you're not just blowing smoke??
You see Stacy, the difference between you and I is that you actually THINK that men like Willard are athletes. Hell, you probably even think Lady Gaga is just as impressive as Madonna, but then that's your realm of reasoning.
As for Payne?? I took a beating from Payne last week because if you're gonna be a man like him...you HAVE TO. He's like the Leaning Tower of Pisa...you just can't quite get him over that easy.
But don't you worry about my being older than you honey. I've traveled the world more times and done things more often than you've even read about in PAPERS.
But get in line honey; you telling me that you're gonna take me out "Systematically" or give me the beating of my life is nothing new. Hell, even the sun shines on a dogs ass sometimes.
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut once and again.
But it's not going to happen this week, not while I'm around.
This isn't about you being a woman and having yet ANOTHER "Intergender" match. In case you haven't noticed Stacy...you're the ONLY woman on the roster that's able to wrestle this season. ALL your matches are Intergender matches.
This is about you standing in my way of being the New Era Champion. I've been apart of this company for YEARS and waited my turn for a chance at standing at the top of the mountain.
You've waited DAYS.
I'm glad you're all about pain because pain in this business is just a part of the game.
But wrestling is my LIFE.
It's what I DO.
It's just too bad that your assumptions on what I have coming to you is going to be not just your downfall...but a REALITY CHECK...you just...won't like.
(Cruise finishes off his bottle before telling the bartender he's done, pays the tab and walks out.)
