Backstage after Warfare has gone off the air. Green Man limped his way to the back after another lose. If it was any consolation at all it wasn’t because he was out matched but rather screwed over yet once again and thus cost him the match. But even with tha fact it still sucks dropping your fourth straight match and this time it not only gave Green Man a mark in the lost column but it gave Stallion a mark as well. And that just isn’t right.
It’s pretty much quite backstage as it usually is after such a show. Green Man is in his locker room with an ice pack on the back of his neck. He hasn’t bothered to get out of his ring attire or even take his boots off. He sits in a chair slumped over with his hands in his face. His thumbs pressed up against the corner of his eye sockets lost in thought.
Warfare was a big night. Sort of. It’s amazing how some people hide all night long and can’t be found no matter how hard you try but then they show up like a plague at the end to make sure you have a bad night. But then they will turn around and state something like “You know where to find me”. And believe me Green Man and Stallion did try to find them but they where no where. The Locker room was empty, not in the bathrooms, The parking lot and even the roof were empty. They searched high and low but came up with nothing. But hat do you expect from cowards anyways? Always to hide so that they can’t be attacked at all.
“It’s fucking bullshit!” Green Man shouts as he sits alone in the room.
“Four fucking week s in a row now the fucking power trip has interfered in my matches costing me the match and nothing is done about it. Don’t we have rules or something? Fucking Todd and Japhy are walking around worrying about Eternity but ignoring the fact that Hammer and Bright can do pretty much anything they want to and that is okay. I wonder how much ASS they kiss to get away with all of this.”
Just then the door opens up. Joe Jones walks in.
“And yet I can’t be a manager. Makes you wonder doesn’t it.” Joe says as he hands Green Man a coke.
Green Man looks at the coke and then looks up at Joe. He shakes his head.
“You don’t want a coke?” Joe asks.
“No.” Green Man says.
“Oh yeah your a Pepsi man. I’ll be right back.” Joe says as he leaves the Coke on the chair next to Green Man and leaves the room.
“I don’t want a Pepsi either.” Green Man says shaking his head. “The rules need to be enforced around here. It’s just getting out of control. Am I the only one who is sick of the Power Trip? And how come they never defend their titles? With all the tag teams around here they never defend their titles. What is up with that. Now if that doesn’t mean they are kissing someone’s ass around here I don’t know.”
Joe returns with a Pepsi. “Here’s your Pepsi dad.” Joe hands the Pepsi to Green Man but Green Man doesn’t take it. “You don’t want a Pepsi?” Joe asks.
Green Man responds with a “No.”
“Oh right. I forgot you wanted to try that new Pepsi twist. I’ll right back.” Joe say s as he leaves the Pepsi behind and exits the locker room again.
Green Man looks up. He shakes his head. “What the fuck doesn’t he understand?”
Green Man readjusts the ice pack on his back of his neck.
“I think it’s the front office here, The staff of the XWA that is corrupt. Mother fuckers like Eternity can quit which is what I thought they wanted to see. They make a video of his highlights and all and stand out there in front of the crowd and say they are glad that Eternity is gone only to give him back his job one week latter. If that was mean I would be on the outside looking in because I am just not liked around here. It’s a joke around here it really is.”
Joe returns with a Pepsi twist. “What’s a joke is that they won’t even return my phone calls about me wanting to be a manager in the XWA. It’s not like I am asking for allot here. Just a manager’s license. Here’s your twist dad.” Joe says as he hands Green Man the Pepsi twist. Which taste like shit by the way.
“I don’t want that...” Green Man begins to say.
“OH CRAP!” Joe says as he drops the Pepsi twist and runs out the room.
Green Man is puzzled. He just stares at the door as the Pepsi twist is spraying all over the floor as the can devolved a pin hole leak when Joe dropped it on the floor.
“That boy has a problem. Doesn’t he know or hasn’t he figure out that I don’t want a drink.” Green Man says as he shakes his head. “I think we need some changes around here in t he XWA. It’s a joke. Take my match next week for a example. Not only am I being forced to listen to that long winded ho bag but I think how our match is booked. No interference.” Green Man chuckles. “They must be kidding right? First off the match is pin falls count anywhere’s and then it’s no interference.”
Joe returns with a Diet Pepsi Twist. “Sorry I forgot you were on a diet. So uhmm here’s your diet Pepsi Twist.” Joe says as he hands Green Man the Pepsi. Green Man sighs as he takes the soda. He places it on the chair next to him with the coke and the other Pepsi he all ready has. Joe looks at him. “Aren’t you going to drink it while it is cold?” Joe asks.
“No. not right now because...” Green Man begins to say but Joe cuts him off.
“Because you want a chocolate bar! I understand. Be right back.” Joe says as he dashes off to get a chocolate bar.
Green Man hags his head low. “Why me?” He says. “Why me. Can’t t he boy see I don’t want anything except for PEACE AND QUITE!” Green Man screams hoping Joe hears him.
He takes deep breathe. “Anyways like I was saying. You can’t stand there and tell me the match will be kept to that standard of no interference because we all know the Power Trip can do anything they want and they will screw me out of the match once again like they have been doing the past four weeks now. The match just won’t work.”
Joe has returned with a 3 musketeers. “Here you go.”
Green Man looks at the 3 Musketeers. “I don’t want it. Can’t you tell...” And again Joe cuts him off.
“That you want corn chips! Got ya!” And again Joe dashes off.
“I swear to god I am going to beat that boy! I know he means well but can’t he use his brain or something!” Green Man says as he stands up.
“It’s bad enough I have to hear Xain all week long as he flaps his gum about this and that and how he thinks the world revolves around him. Like he is the center of the world or something. My ears bleed when I hear him.”
Green Man walks over to the sink in the locker room. He takes the ice pack off his neck and drops it in the sink.
“First of all I beat his ass with a chain while Stallion fucked him up and he says he didn’t feel a thing. What does he think he is? Mr. T or something so indestructible that he feels no pain. And he talks about me trying to mister bad ass to impress the crowd kind of guy. You can’t stand there and tell me a Hammerbombs hurt more than being whipped like a bitch by a chain.”
Joe returns with a bag of corn chips. He tosses them at Green Man who is still at the sink. Green Man looks down at the bag of corn chips. He shakes his head and under his breathe says “you moron.” and of course Joe hears that.
“Well mister if you wanted some salsa all you had to do is ask! I’m trying to be a nice guy but I see you just don’t appreciate what I do for you! But because I love you I will get you some salsa you ungrateful bastard!”
Joe leaves yet once again. Green Man has had just about enough of it. He turns around and leans up on the sink.
“What is worse? Listen to Xain groan on and on or having Joe trying to feed me?”
Green Man returns to the chair. He takes a seat.
“You know. I think, no I know the XWA this week showed favoritism. I mean it looks like Hollywood had no problem in getting his job back. And I doubt Hollywood had to wait for an answer too. Joe is more talented that Hollywood will ever be and yet he can’t even become a stinking lowly manager for crying out loud. That just proves the power Trip has friends in high places while the rest of in the XWA suffer.”
Joe returns. “You better like this jar of salsa. It was the last one they had.” Joe says as he holds the jar out for Green Man.
“I don’t want it.” Green Man says.
“What do you mean you don’t want it?” Joe asks.
“What part of I don’t want it don’t you understand?” Green Man says to Joe.
“The same part of I don’t care or I dare you to stop us that’s what” Joe fires back with.
“Well get a clue. I don’t want your stinking soda. I don’t that candy bar and I don’t want chips or that salsa. I WANT to be left alone and I want to go home and forget about tonight! IS that okay with you?” Green Man says
“No it’s not.” Joe says.
“What?” Green Man replies with.
“You heard me. I won’t let you go home.” Joe says.
“Excuse me?”
“What part of your not going home didn’t YOU understand?” Joe asks.
“It would be the part of you stopping me or trying to stop me.” Green Man one.
“Shit come on man any day. I went to the same class of not selling that Xain went to and there for I will overpower your sorry ass stop you.” Joe says.
“Is that a promise?” Green Man asks.
“If you don’t like it, I dare you to stop me.” Joe says.
Green Man starts to slide the straps on his over alls down his shoulders. “Okay but it’s not going to be pretty.” He says.
“Man look at you! All ready to beat anyone’s ass that you’ll even think about fighting your own son. You need to chill before someone gets hurts.” Joe says. “First of all your in here like someone just died. And for what? We attacked everyone tonight, well almost everyone and I don’t know why. You have what you want. You will at Aftermath get your title shot no matter what unless the XWA decides to take it away from you by pitting you in a match to defend you title shot which wouldn’t surprise me and if the XWA did do that we all know the locker room would empty out as everyone will make sure you lose the match. No one likes you and everyone knows that. So why get bent out of shape? Do you want respect that bad? I say fuck respect and just win that title. We all know the odds are stacked against you in having any shot at winning that title to begin with as Hollywood is in town now. You have as much of a shot at winning that thing as much as Vindicator does, As much as Xain does and as much as Fantomas does. We all know Hollywood will become a part of that match and makes sure his boys win that title. It’s clear as day and there fore if Fantomas and Vindicator do drop out of the match it will only make his job that much easier. All these attacks tonight were stupid now because Bright’s buddy is in town and yeah it pisses me off that he can get a job here and I can’t. But you know what I don’t think I want to work for a discriminating company like the XWA.” Joe says.
“You have no idea do you? You have no idea how it is to drop you last 6 matches. You have no idea how it feels to go into a pay per view without a win in your last 6 matches and it looks like your next match will make that number 7 because no one around here wants to see you win. I should paint myself black because I am being held down by the man.” Green Man says
“AND WHY IS THAT? Why is that week after week Hammer and Bright make sure you lose? They haven’t gain nothing by this at all. Maybe they know you are going to win at Aftermath and why not take Green Man out of his game and make his lose, Force him to lose and force his mind to play games on him. You doing what they want you to do. They want you to think your a loser and in you doing that it will only give them an edge at the Pay Per View. Take away Hollywood who will more than likely fuck everyone but Bright and Hammer in that match Them making sure you lose every week will way a lot on your mind. And it’s that reason why I won’t let you go home.” Joe says.
“Oh yeah?” Green Man says
“Yeah. For this week we are going on vacation. Taking a break and chilling out. It’s time to regroup. You can take Xain next week. I know it. Stallion knows it and everyone out there in the stands know it. If they were to but odds on you in Vegas I wouldn’t be surprised if you were 200 to 1. No one wants to see you win Dad. No one in the locker room that is. And right now they are loving this. Watching you self destruct. But you know what? I won’t let you. I won’t let you give up on your dream and I will make sure that dream comes true. The hell with Hammer and Bright. Screw em. Forget about them till Aftermath and the hell with Vindicator. He was never man enough to step in the ring with you anyways. And Fantomas is as boring if not more boring than Xain and I don’t know how he even got into the Six Pack Challenge. You are the best out there on any given night and that is a cold hard fact. Let Hollywood and his buddies have the spot light for now. There is an old saying and they will learn what that saying is soon enough. What goes around, comes around. They will get there’s. Don’t you worry about that. And don’t worry about me not being able to get a job inside the XWA. I have my ways. I have connections and right now I will let the XWA sit on it for now but they will soon cave in under the pressure. Trust me. Good things come to who wait like you and I. I am waiting for my license and your waiting for the World Championships. And we will both get what we want not because we cheat to get them but because we will earn them. And will make it worth that much more when we get these things and the victory will be that much sweeter. But right now. You aren’t going home. Your going to spend some time on the road and have fun.” Joe says as he stands his ground.
“Yeah?” Green Man says.
“Yeah.” Joe says.
“Where.....where are we going?” Green Man asks
“Disney land” Joe says with a smile.
“Yeah?” Says Green Man
“Yeah.” Joe says.
“I have never been there.” Green Man says as he reaches down and picks up the Pepsi.
“Well get you bags because that’s where we are going.” Joe says.
Green Man smiles. He takes a drink of the Pepsi.
“How did you know I wanted a Pepsi?” He asks as the scene fades to black......................................
