Good job Tommy, you looked real good out there, it is quite unfortunate you didn’t come away with a victory but hey you always have next week.
Nick Hill stands in front of the Tommy’s mirror situated in Tommy‘s dressing room, his shirt is off and he admires his ripped mid-drift in the mirror. Tommy enters the room from the adjoining bathroom and makes his way toward a folding chair.
I’m kind of bummed Nick.
Nick stops focusing on himself and turns toward his buddy, although Nick never actually stops thinking about himself
How come Tommy, did you really think you’d go out, being as inexperienced as you are, and kick some veteran ass?
Tommy shifts his eyes toward the ceiling almost ashamed of himself
Well I’m not really bummed about losing Nick, it was more about what Storm said. He called me fat, and insulted me, it was really tough on me. His words put me in a really bad place, you know what I mean. It’s just I’ve worked so hard Nick, I’ve lost all this weight and put myself in a position to prove everyone wrong. Then Storm had to ruin my good time by doing the things I‘m trying to escape, the things I‘ve gone through for years. It kind of put me in a fog tonight, do you understand what I mean?
Nick wants to laugh and tell Tommy he’s never felt that way but Nick can tell Tommy needs to get this off his chest. So Nick does what any self centered egotistical jerk would do, add fuel to the fire
Well technically he is right, I mean you are still a little soft around the middle nothing like these
Nick never modest about making others feel worse about themselves, while at the same time promoting himself points to his rock hard abs
When you start to sport these bad boys, then you get to say you aren’t fat, till then you are a fat ass, but anyway Tommy, why let Storm get you down, he’s an asshole. Guy was mad he lost to Justin Kaard, he’ll get over it, and if he doesn’t so what, he sucks anyway.
Tommy disagrees with Nick vehemently
Nick he doesn’t suck, he’s actually pretty good, I saw some of his fight with Kaard and I felt kind of sorry…
Nick ignores Tommy and looks in the mirror where he continues to make love to himself
Screw that dickhead, you need to stop caring about how others feel and start looking out for yourself. Do you think these others guys are sitting around feeling sorry for you? Do you think Storm is thinking, holy crap, it’s a shame that Tommy didn’t win? How about John Parker do you think he feels remorse for booting you in the mouth?
Tommy shakes his head no but inside he hopes that someone cares
Moving on lets talk about your fight, I must say I’m proud of you, you didn’t screw up too bad, and if a few things had gone differently you might have been won. Now with that said I need to remind you of a few things you did wrong. Take for instance you letting John Parker kick you right in damn mouth, and for that matter right out of the damn ring. It wouldn’t have been so bad if you weren’t looking him right in the eyes when it happened.
Tommy starts to nod his head then decides to shrug his shoulders as he really has no excuse for why Parker got him like that
I’m not sure Nick I thought we were going to tie up, I figured I could get the advantage and then go for one of those awesome submission holds you taught me, I never expected him to fling his foot into my mouth. It was almost surreal, like something out of the movies, one minute I was looking John Parker right in his beady eyes, then the next I was lifting myself off the floor. If only I had recovered a second earlier, maybe I could have broken up that pin.
Tommy sighs and looks toward the floor greatly disappointed with his performance
Yeah well you didn’t, but that’s not such a big deal, you proved something in that ring, you gained some fans, showed the guys in the back you’re not a pussy and hell maybe even earned some respect.
Tommy seems to cheer up slightly
So how do you feel today Tommy
Standing inside Nick’s custom built gym are Tommy and Nick, they stand on a blue mat staring at each other. The idea for today is to teach Tommy a few new holds that can be beneficial to his wrestling career. Tommy stretches his arms into the air and grimaces in pain as tightness sets in.
I don’t feel too good Nick, I have aches in places I didn’t know existed, my jaw feels stiff and I have this twitching in my back. I don’t know what happened, I think someone beat me up in my sleep.
Nick smiles and moves toward his friend, giving him a playful slap on the back, clearly not caring about the pain Tommy is in
Get used to that feeling Tommy, it’s something I left out during the training. Now listen up after each fight, you’ll fell all amped up, and it’ll get endu, endor, endoor fuck it I mean the adre, adrian
Tommy interrupts him
You mean endorphins and adrenaline?
Yeah that one, see that stuff keeps you from feeling pain or something, then you go to sleep and it wears off. Now you feel all that pain you should have felt yesterday, but didn’t cause of those words you just said. Don’t worry Tommy, after you’ve been through the gauntlet a few times it’ll get better. I remember when I had my first MMA fight, it was against this Indian guy, using some Jung Jin Ju or something, he hit me with a kick, and no lie dude, I felt that kick three weeks later. It was crazy man, although I don’t’ think you’ll be feeling pain for that long.
Tommy wants to ask Nick more about when Nick was a fighter but reluctantly holds back, seeing as last time Tommy asked, Nick tried to break off the friendship
Wow that must have been something, getting hit that hard must not be fun at all. I hope nobody ever hits me that hard, I don’t know how I’d deal with it.
Nick picks up a nearby water bottle and squirts some into his mouth, and then he spit’s the water into his hands using it to wipe the sweat off his face
Yeah well, the past belongs in the past, for now let us prepare you for your next fight. I got word from management that you are scheduled for another fight, you are going to take on someone you should be very familiar with.
Tommy looks at Nick curiously wondering who he’ll be fighting
It’s E.nygma, I don’t think we need to go into much detail about him. I mean it’s not like you don’t know you can defeat him right? After all, you showed many people that you aren’t to be trifled with, you looked like the veteran while E.nygma looked like the rookie.
Tommy appears to disagree by frowning
I think he was amazing in the fight Nick, he really put on a show, especially when…
Nick shakes his head as Tommy heaps praise on E.nygma
This is what I have been telling you about Tommy, if you want to be successful you need to look at everyone as if they are beneath you. Do you think successful people worry about the peons below them. Take this for example, do you think Donald Trump cares about some lowly receptionist? Do you think Bill Gates cares about a mail sorter? The answer is no, and do you know why Tommy?
Tommy shrugs his shoulders not really interested in the answer he knows Nick will give anyway
I guess because all people like them care about is money and fame?
Nick is tempted to say good answer but bites his tongue and glares
You are missing the point Tommy, it’s because they don’t care about anyone but themselves, they are driven and motivated and that is why they are successful. Do you know what Bill Gates did to his partner? No, well I’ll tell you, he bullied him into accepting a thousand dollars, then turned his company into a trillion dollars business.
Tommy looks a bit confused
I don’t think that is what really happened Nick, and besides, just because these men are motivated and driven doesn’t mean they can’t say nice things about people from time to time. Besides I enjoy being honest, what purpose would I have to belittle or trash E.nygma I respect what he can do in the ring.
Nick frowns
You are a strange person indeed Tommy, if you refuse to say anything bad about Nygma, how about the third person booked in your fight, Stephen Callaway. A six time champion in the SML, a man who could give you some serious trouble, are you going to sit back and pretend everything is all peaches and cream? How do you purpose to stand up for yourself against someone like him.
Tommy looks fairly impressed, you can tell by his jaw gapped open
Wow he was a six time champion, I can’t even begin to fathom winning that much, he must be a really amazing wrestler. How does the general manager expect me to have a chance against a competitor like him?
Nick points to himself
You’ve got something better than a six time champion, you’ve got me, one of the best submission specialist in wrestling. A man who could grate cheese on his abdominal muscles, a man who scores more pussy than a gynecologist, a man who can make someone tap out using a thousand different holds. I mean fuck I taught Christian Kane how to score chicks.
Tommy looks impressed and rather shocked, Christian Kane is a real ladies man afterall
You honestly taught Christian Kane how to talk with females? That is pretty impressive, I kind of envy him, he has a different woman on his arm every time I turn around, and here I sit having never even kissed a girl.
Nick laughs out loud
No I didn’t teach Christian Kane anything, but truth be told if you listen to me and follow directions you can and will beat Stephen Callaway. First off Tommy you need to understand something about Stephen, the man enjoys trying to play mind games. He’ll try to talk you down, make you doubt yourself and then he’ll go in for the kill. This can be dangerous to you Tommy, especially because you have such a fragile psyche. I can teach you the physical side of our sport Tommy, but mentally you are on your own. If you can avoid getting trapped in any of his pitfalls he can be beaten.
Tommy puts his hand over his chin and tries to listen, but begins to feel a rumbling in his stomach
So I can’t let him get in my head?
Nick nods his head
That’s correct, if you can avoid his mind games and wait for your opportunity then you can be devastating. Don’t get caught up with listening to Stephen’s insults, his trickery and even his offers of friendship, if he so chooses to go down that route. Instead sit back and play observer while Stephen and E.nygma go at it. Let them fight it out for a bit, then when both men seem tired, pull a chair out from under the ring and smash that bitch upside one of their heads.
Tommy looks repulsed
Nick I could never attack someone with a weapon isn’t that assault? What if I were to seriously injury one of them, I could never live with myself, it would be horrific. I would much rather just wrestle them fairly, man to man. I am certain that I can come out on top, although at least I certainly hope so. I have a thicker skin than you might believe, even though I don’t show it outwardly I am hardened by the life I’ve had.
Nick moves in while Tommy is talking, and grabs him from behind, he puts him in a camel clutch and squeezes hard.
Shut up bitch, you feel this hold, put this shit on Stephen Callaway and he won’t be able to do anything but cry.
Tommy struggles to free himself but Nick has the hold locked in.
Oh god Nick my back, stop it already man.
Tommy waves his hands indicating he wants to tap out. Nick releases the hold and blows a snot rocket on the mat
That was pathetic Tommy, why did you just quit like that?
Tommy keeps his back on the mat staring up at the lights hanging high above
I’m hungry Nick, I think after we’re done here I’ll head over to McDonalds, they have two for two on Big Mac’s, I can’t even focus, my stomach is growling.
Nick just shakes his head and walks away, leaving Tommy to lay on the mat, dreaming of the food he wants to eat.
