A couple of days after the debut FWP Scion show.
Slim is back at home as he is in the basement where the ring is for the at home training. Slim is sitting on the edge on the ring as his wife Jessica sits in one of the chairs across from him. They both have a smile on their faces.
Jessica:
Looks like you did pretty good out there. Got back in the ring with an actual opponent and even with the odds against you… you went out there and got the job done. I’m sure Karine was proud.
Slim:
Well she was able to make it backstage before the match and she was ecstatic to see compete and said she was impressed I was able to come out of retirement for my first match and beat the odds like I did.
Jessica:
Well you did accomplish what you said you would do but those were a couple of… I don’t know if they were rookies or what. But they definitely did not know how to use their numbers to their advantage. They needed some guidance.
Slim:
Well I’m glad you weren’t there to guide them. But I know the next match is going to be something to really prep for. Dead Eye is definitely someone not to screw around with. I got to at least watch his match against the other Samoan brother…
Jessica:
No no you gotta say it right. Its brudda.
Slim:
Oh yeah right right… the Samoan brud…
They both burst out laughing before recollecting themselves.
Jessica:
Okay… so yeah now its time to really get down to business. Because now you know you’re not facing just some run of the mill big guy wanting to make his name while using you as a stepping stone. I mean he pretty much underestimated you from the get go because you retired so long ago.
Slim:
Yeah but then again that just shows how crappy and shoddy his training was. Never underestimate your opponent. And that’s why I’m looking Dead Eye… in the eye…
Jessica:
Oh hell… that was so cringe… don’t say that again. Ever.
Slim:
You know what… it felt wrong as soon as I said it but I said it anyways. But I saw his movements in the ring… he is a natural. He knows what he is doing and I have to say… I feel a bit excited. Like yeah that kid Keoni was big but that was it. No savvy… no nothing. Just big and that’s it and not even that big. But this… this is a challenge that I’ve been looking forward to. Something to really put myself to the test to see if I still really got it and I know I do. But part of me still wants to really challenge myself. Just really go out there and see if I can even step up against those real vets and bring it to them and come out on top.
Jessica:
Well while I like to see that in you that you still want the challenge… this is the main event babe. You’re in the main event of the second show of Scion. What you did in the first match… long gone and forgotten. You got the win… whoop dee doo. Now its time for you to put your money where your mouth is. This is where you really look to put the pedal to the metal and see what you really got. Cause you know he is going to look for any holes in your game and pretty much make you pay for them.
Slim:
That’s what I mean though. This is what I’ve wanted since I stepped back in. This is the challenge I have been craving. This is the match that will show me whether I still truly got it or…
Jessica:
There is no if… there is no whether you truly got it or anything. You look me in the damn eyes right here… right now.
The couple get up from their respected spots and stare each other in the eyes.
Jessica:
I’m going to tell you this right to your face. You do still got it and if you have even the tiniest shred of doubt that you don’t… then don’t bother getting in that ring. Don’t you dare get in that ring because that shred of doubt is going to be the one thing that keeps you from winning and advancing. That one… that little sliver of a shred of doubt is going to be the very thing that will cause you to slip up and you’re going to be experiencing Red Death. You need to get your head back in the game. Get back to where you were before. Get back to that Slim that people dreaded facing. The one that people saw they were facing you and they were ready to quit. They were going back and asking to face someone else. They didn’t want to face you. Nobody wanted to face you because they knew that not only were you going to bring out the absolute best in them… but you were going to show them that their best was not good enough. Where is that Slim? Huh? Where… is… he?
Jessica eyes him up again before turning around and walking out of the basement leaving Slim to his thoughts as he asks himself the same question.
Slim:
Where is he? Where is he?
He re-enters the ring and stands in the middle of it looking up at the ceiling.
Slim:
He’s right here and he’s going to be the first FWP World Champion. HE’S RIGHT HERE AND HE IS GOING TO BE THE DAMN WORLD CHAMPION! HE’S RIGHT HERE AND HE IS GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF DEAD EYE! HE’S RIGHT HERE! And at Scion… I will be victorious.
Slim exits the ring and as he walks up the steps to leave the basement he looks back at the ring one more time before heading up through the doors back into his home.
Fade to black.
