Inside Double J's apartment on Sunday night before Ray Donovan hits the air waves and Joe and Nanook are sitting on the couch. They both have been hooked by the new Show time show and they get together every Sunday and watch Ray and until last week they would watch True Blood and switch over for Ray but now that True Blood is done for the season, it's Ray, DVR The White Queen and watch that after words. It's a busy Sunday night in Joe's apartment.
Nanook gets up and walks into the little kitchen area and opens the fridge.
Nanook "So this week you've got Silas Brueck. I told you that yeah?"
Joe leans forward and glances at his cell phone that is on the coffee table. "Yeah you told me. Where have I heard that name before? I swear to god we worked at the place before."
Nanook fetches 2 beers out of the fridge. He walks back to the couch and takes a seat next to Joe. Nanook has been everywhere with Joe. He has seen his own career, where ever Joe was Nanook was there. It's Nanook who is now flipping through the rolodex in his mind of all the places Joe has worked and who worked there when he was there.
"I've heard the name. I've seen his face before. Briefly. It's driving me nuts Cuz I know I know this guy."
Nanook's phone buzzes and it's Summer on the other end texting her hubby. While Nanook texts back his wife while Joe is scrolling along twitter on his phone.
"I see he tweeted." Joe says with five minutes till show time.
"You should tweet that you're facing the newly crowned UWL TV Champion." Nanook adds. "Summer says she remember the name too. Seriously F*** with that guy on Twitter. Call him the champ."
"Yeah?"
"Hell yeah! I bet that would drive him insane."
"I don't know...I don't want to look a complete asshole......." Joe says as he starts to compose his tweet. Once finished he tweets his tweet and chuckles. "I can't believe I said that straight faced!"
"Who's a asshole?" Nanook says after reading Joe's tweet.
Joe smirks "This guy!"
Just as Ray Donovan starts Nanook holds his phone out to Joe to check out the screen. Joe takes a peak and you can see the light bulb going off in his head.
"Oh yeah! That's where."
Fade in to see Double J standing in front of a huge World map hanging on the wall. Wearing his wrestling gear and a plain white T-shirt Double J has his back to the camera.
"I can stand here and put a push pin everywhere I have worked and I'd need like, thousands of push pins. I could get all anal with it and color code the push pins to represent each promotion I have worked for. Some cities like New York City and Nashville, Charlotte and Miami would have multiple push pins while some places like, Utica New York would have only one push pin. There are places on the map you just don't visit ever if not never, so when my opponent this week mentioned to Kip that we both worked for the same wrestling company out of Vancouver I drew a blank."
Joe takes a push pin and stabs the map in Vancouver.
"I might be the only guy in the UWL to have heard of the name Silas Brueck before you arrived here. I had to rattle the old noggin to remember where I heard that name from but it came to me. Before I get into our match this week Silas, on how I'm going to beat you I just have to take a moment and say, any guy who Shannon Skanes would hire has to be a good guy and not some chump. I have nothing but respect for that guy and knowing that you were once a CWA'er, I have nothing but respect for you."
Joe rubs his hands together and smirks.
"But. There is always a but and that but is, I would like to see you try and rip my arm out of my sockets and beat me with them. Who knew a simple tweet would get someone's dandruff all dusted up. You see while you like to think that Scotty Addams got lucky when he rolled you up in a small package for the 1,2,3 I like to think Scotty planned that shit along. He knew he was better than you, twice the athlete that you are and he was just screwing around with you the whole time and then picked his spot and rolled you up and took the title. Like that wound from losing to Scotty is a deep festering wound. That shit is a mere flesh wound at best. The salt that I poured into it was nothing. Shake it off cry baby."
"No you want to talk about salt in the wound, try not winning that belt 3 times. I had epic battles against Hart for that belt and not once did I lose to Hart when he locked me up in the unescapable small package. I don't know how you feel about this match Silas nor do I care. The way I see it it's the UWL f*cking with me again, making me face the guy who lost a shot at the title I tried in vein to win. The match of the 2 guys who couldn't win that strap and it.....it pisses me the F*** off.
Joe takes a deep breath trying not to blow up and he runs both his hands through his hair and slowly calms down.
"Last week was a new chapter here. Last week was the start of my new future here in the UWL and so far that chapter started off with a sad tale. A real tear jerker. This week I rebound and tell the tale of a story that makes everyone happy. The tale of how I, Double J Joe Jones defeated a clown, a joke of a guy who clearly wants to be just like me. Silas Brueck is nothing more than a troll, a real life troll following my career just wishing he was one tenth as good as me. He's watched all my tapes, seen all my matches and now he has followed me here to the UWL living out some pervy dream of stepping in the ring with me. I might have heard of you once or twice Silas but other than that, I never took the time to get to know you, why? Because you're simply not worth my time. Who do you think you are claiming I'm not as good as you are? I've done shit you can only dream off. You of all people should know my work better than anyone else because I am the Standard that everyone is measured against and you Silas Brueck, just don't add up. It will be nice to get in that ring this week against a guy who was at time in the CWA as there isn't many of us around anymore. But other than that, I will chalk this match up in the win the column for me."
Camera pans in tight on Joe's determined face.
"Consider yourself warned!"
