The scene opens to Slim sitting at home on the ring apron of the wrestling ring in the basement. His wife sits across from him in one of the folding chairs as she keeps a close eye on him.
Jessica:
You haven’t said much since the match and the ride home. Are you going to let me in?
Slim:
You know what I’m thinking. Why ask?
Jessica:
Because you know as well as I do… the longer it festers in there the worse it is for everyone. And I don’t want you doing anything crazy. I don’t want there to be any unnecessary tension because of it so… talk to me. Let it out. I know it was wrong. I know its messed up but please...
Slim:
You’re right. It was wrong. I did everything right in that ring. She had her wife out there to try to mess with things and she got ejected. But how did I lose? It wasn’t just the running powerslam was it?
Jessica:
No it wasn’t. She had her feet on the ropes for the extra leverage.
Slim:
I could have gotten out of it. I could have kept going if it wasn’t for that.
Jessica:
I know honey. I know.
Slim looks down at his fists and wrists as he continues wrapping them up.
Jessica:
If anything if you would have won that then you could have got your rematch against Aurora much sooner but now...
Slim:
Yeah but now I have to face some jackass named Grayson Vex whom I don’t give a shit about and eventually face the Lesser Graves and kick his ass like his wife did to him and probably finally show Kelsi that she awoke a sleeping beast and really kick her ass next time before I get a chance to face Aurora.
Jessica:
You really calling him the Lesser Graves?
Slim:
Well he is. He had a chance to win the world title and he didn’t. He said he was always seen as the lesser Graves and all that night did was prove that he was the lesser one. The weaker one. The worse one. The sorrier one. The one that can talk shit about some Young Lion’s belt… whatever the hell that crap belt is… some weird flex if you ask me… and then come up short clean as his wife showed him that he’s just… beneath her just like I knew he would be. I was in the ring with her and gave her the match of a lifetime. He goes in there and he is more concerned about putting on some five star banger than winning and that dumb mentality is why he will always be the lesser. I mean when we had our wars against each other…
Jessica:
Oh man those were vicious. Bloody and violent.
Slim:
And… yeah… so him… nothing. Kelsi is going to get a rude awakening when I get my hands around her scrawny neck the next time I see her. But for now… I gotta do something about this rage inside of me and Grayson Vex being the unfortunate challenger…this… this is redemption for me. This is my way back up to the top and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let anybody stop me this time.
Slim gets up from the ring and walks over to the punching bag and stretches first before throwing smaller combinations at it.
Jessica:
Babe… just promise me that you’ll work out most of this aggression before leaving and coming back upstairs please.
As he throws a couple harder combos at the bag he stops for a second and looks back at her and nods as she gets up from her seat and leaves Slim to himself. As she exits the room he starts throwing the punches harder, longer combos, really unleashing his rage as the scene fades.
