Chicago, Illinois
::A 2021 Silver Mercedes S560 4Matic Coupe drives through a gate up to a huge mansion. The Mercedes goes around the fountain that is in front of the main house. The Mercedes shuts off, the driver door opens and the Enforcer steps out of the Mercedes, and shuts the door behind him. Enforcer looks out at the vast estate when he hears voice behind him.::
Voice:Welcome, sir.
::Enforcer looks toward the voice and sees an older man in a suit.::
Enforcer:Jeeves, I thought that was you. I am glad to see you. I thought you died years ago.
Jeeves:No, I am very much alive, sir. But my name isn’t Jeeves.
Enforcer:What? Not possible! You look like Jeeves.
Man:But I am not Jeeves.
Enforcer:Prove it.
Voice(Coming from behind them):His name isn’t Jeeves.
::Enforcer looks behind him to see former HHW Owner, Joey Cranston, standing on the steps in front of the main house.::
Enforcer:Nicholas?!?!?! What are you doing here?
Cranston:What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
Enforcer:I got this voice message from Vin if I can stop here in Chicago when I was flying from Los Angeles to New York.
Cranston:The joys of having your own private jet.
Enforcer:I know, right? So, do you know where Vin is?
Cranston:He should be somewhere in this place. Honestly, it is so easy to lose track since he is always renovating around here.
Enforcer:(Turning to the man in the suit)Jeeves, do you know where Vin is?
Cranston:I just told you that isn’t Jeeves! Jeeves works for Neo and Blade. This isn’t Jeeves, this is Mr. Han and you have met him before. He has worked for Vin for years.
Enforcer:Are you sure?
Cranston:Very much so.
::Joey looks over at Mr. Han.::
Cranston:Can you go find Caden, remind him that doing school from home via Zoom isn’t a day off, and he needs to make sure his school work is getting done.
Mr. Han:Yes, sir.
Cranston:Thank you.
::Mr. Han walks up the stairs into the main house.::
Cranston:Come on, Anthony. Let’s go find Vin.
::Joey and Enforcer walk up the stairs into the main house.::
Cranston:Let’s go this way to the left. If he called you he probably wants to get back into the ring which means he is probably in his gym.
::Enforcer and Joey walk down a massive hallway.::
Enforcer:How far is this gym of his?
Cranston:It is just over here to the right.
::Joey leads Enforcer over to the right side of the hallway. Joey opens french doors that leads into the gym. Enforcer and Joey walk in and see Vin doing deadlifts. Enforcer and Vin walk over to the rack Vin is at. Vin lets the bar down as he sees the two men walk up to him in the mirror.::
Halsted:Anthony!!!! How was your flight?
Enforcer:So far, so good. When you are flying private there isn’t much you could complain about. So, I have been wondering why I got this request from you to make a pit stop here in Chicago to meet up with you since I left the west coast.
Halsted:Simply put, I want to get back into the ring.
::Enforcer and Joey look at each other. And they give each other a look.::
Halsted:What was that? What is that look about between the two of you?
Cranston:Look?
Enforcer:What look?
Halsted:Don’t play dumb with me it is beneath both of you. So, what’s up? Spill!
Cranston:Well, to be honest after your last “retirement” Enforcer and I made some good sized bets that you would come back to the ring.
Enforcer:Let’s just say because of you my great, great, great grandchildren will get to live comfortably. I know I appreciate it.
Cranston:We both appreciate it, buddy. Your predictability is comforting in these uncertain times.
Halsted:Well, you can both kiss my ass.
Cranston:Language, Vin.
::Vin rolls his eyes.::
Halsted:Seriously though guys, I want back in the ring. My run a couple years ago didn’t go to my liking and I want to go out like John Elway, Jerome Bettis, or Michael Jordan after his second retirement.
Enforcer:I hope it would be Michael’s second retirement. His first and third retirements sucked major league ass.
Cranston:Geez guys!!! You are killing me with the language.
Enforcer:It’ll be fine,Nicholas. You can hear the word ass a couple times. It won’t kill you.
Cranston:I don’t know. It is bad enough you call me Nicholas but to throw cursing on top of that. It might be more than I can handle.
Enforcer:I call you Nicholas because that is your birth name. You got it from your momma and I will continue to call you Nicholas because of that. Plus I know it annoys you too.
Halsted:You guys are getting off topic!
::Enforcer and Joey look over at Vin.::
Enforcer:If you are serious about getting back into the ring Justice and I just signed with a company called EWF. Why don’t you join me out there?
HalstedEWF?
Enforcer:Yeah, why not?
Halsted:I don’t know.
Cranston:Already with the doubts. So, much for wanting to get back into the ring.
Halsted:No, it is not that.
Enforcer:Look, you know I do my homework on any promotion I do business with. I am not going to sign with a promotion that isn’t top notch. I have watched their shows from home. I have flown out and caught a couple shows in person. Everything is above board so make sure this is something you want to do and get to packing. I am going to call their headquarters to let them know you are interested in coming in with Justice and I.
::Enforcer takes his phone out of his pocket and unlocks his phone as he walks away from Joey and Vin.::
*Present Day*
*Scene*
::Enforcer is sitting on the ring apron of a ring at House of Glory wrestling school in New York. He is wearing an black Outlawz T-shirt, black shorts that go just past his knees, and his wrestling boots. He takes a sip of water out of a silver HydroFlask. Enforcer looks out at a beginning wrestling class that is going on.::
Enforcer:It has been a long time since I got to experience a beginning wrestling school. Now whenever I see a new crop of prospects it is fun to pick out the guys and gals who will be the ones to actually make it while they kick the runts of the litter to the curb. That, of course, no concern of my at the moment because I am solely focused on this eleven man battle royal with the winner getting number thirty at Imperial Insanity. While being number thirty would be nice that is inconsequential to me because I have gone into a battle royal in the number one spot and have outlasted twenty nine other people to win that battle royal. So, if I win, I win. If not, then oh well, I have more important things to worry about. For one I am still seething about that goof, Dank Sinatra, stealing the World Television title from me several weeks ago. The entire wrestling world knows that I should be EWF World Television champion while Dank is out in Humboldt county getting lost in the woods and feuding with Smokey the bear but here we are! So, I would implore Dennis Slater to rectify the situation by making my Old Glory title match after Imperial into a Television title match and I can right the wrong of the past. Because we all know that my good friend, Vin Halsted, will become the first ever EWF Old Glory champion. Why would I want to fight a friend and try to take something he worked hard to win? It just doesn’t make any sense.
::Enforcer sets his Hydro Flask down on the ring apron before pushing himself off the ring apron and stands up on the floor.::
Enforcer:Does everyone see this shirt?
::Enforcer grabs his shirt in the chest area right where the word Outlawz is.::
Enforcer:See this shirt, right here? The one with Outlawz written on it. I am pointing this out because all of the golems of the world needs to have things pointed out to them. Which infuriates us that actually can think for ourselves but here is the deal ladies and gentlemen. The Outlawz will soon be the most devastating force in the Empire Wrestling Federation. We are going to run rough shot over this whole company and do whatever we damn well please because we are going to take all the power here in EWF when we win each championship belt there is to win here. That won’t be bragging or an unfulfilled dream but it will become reality, my friends. So, seeing my wife and good friend on opposing sides of the eight man tag team match tomorrow night makes me physically sick. This is just another reason why we, the Outlawz, need to take control of EWF and make things right. That path of EWF righteousness begins tomorrow night. You all have been warned.
::Enforcer walks away as the camera fades to black.::
