[The sounds of moans and groans fill the air, they suggest the producers of these noises are enjoying themselves, although there is a faint air of tension and possibly even pain emanating from the individuals. It could even be possible to mistake the ever increasing decibels as the cry’s of rutting animals if you didn’t hear the occasional ‘Oh Baby’ or ‘That’s so tight’ or ‘Mushroom, Mushroom’ dispersing the guttural rumblings.
Before long the sounds become more cluttered, as metal seems to clink against metal, loud bangs and slams are heard, and the sound of whipping followed by a large snap, ending finally with a pleasurable whimper. The noises present a cacophony of unpleasant and abnormal sounds, the likes of not heard since The Covenants last group Christmas party.
Finally we get pictures to accompany the sound, and the more conservative members can put away their quills and cease writing their letters of complaint, as fortunately we are not privy to the actual acts that have caused the commotion that has preceded this reveal, instead we are greeted by the slack jawed, confused face of Grace Harding. As the dubious film continues to play, seemingly getting more and more bizarre in nature, we slowly pan out from Grace, who cannot tear her eyes from the screen. We finally see she is in the dressing room of The Unified Global Champion, Travis Roberts, who sits, pre-rolled delicacy in hand, next to her upon his luxury sofa.
Whilst Grace Harding looks a horrified, intrigued, disgusted and fascinated all at once, ‘The Blessed One’ looks on at the screen impassively, occasionally flicking his pre-rolled into the sink basin situated to his side. He looks over at Grace through his trademarked aviator glasses, she drags her eyes from the screen and looks at Travis]
Grace – ‘Why are you showing me this? I’m sure Old Lady Levene did not know this is what you had in mind when she told me it was imperative I stopped by...’
Travis – ‘Because ‘The Headliner’ felt he needed to share his views with someone who would have a different perspective.’
Grace – ‘Well...yes, but I’m not sure what that has to do with...’
Travis – ‘Well it’s clear someone needs to shed some light on the horrific miscarriage of decency that is being committed in ‘The Blessed Ones’ name. It’s clear no-one will listen to Travis Roberts on this matter, they will surely think ‘The Headliner’ is merely trying to cover this...travesty up. Maybe if ‘The TWiSTeD Icon’ could convince you, this would change, given your close proximity to the industry...’
Grace – ‘But...why would they think that?’
Travis – ‘Because dear Grace, some talentless hack has used the name of ’The TWiSTeD Icon’ in vain, in an attempt to smear ‘The Headliner’ by crediting him with the directing of this...this...garbage.’
Grace – ‘Oh...I guess I can see why that would make you angry. I certainly wouldn’t want to be associated with something like this...I’m finding it difficult to even stay in this room. I should probably be taking notes...’
Travis – ‘Exactly...’
[Travis turns back to the screen and begins to motion towards it with the hand containing his pre-rolled bundle of calm, as he speaks some more]
Travis – ‘That’s it exactly, this is quite simply the work of a rank amateur! Look at the lighting, the lead is hardly getting any exposure onto their good side, and as for the camera angle, it looks like it’s being filmed by one of ‘The Borrowers’!’
[Grace’s jaw once again becomes slack as she listens to ‘The Headliner’ before still in a stunned state she replies to him]
Grace – ‘Wait...So your problem isn’t people thinking you directed this...this...abomination, it’s that they might think you did a...bad job?’
Travis – ‘Grace-y, Grace-y, Grace-y you of all people should be able to recognise the job that has been performed is not merely bad, it is possibly the worst display of film making, in any genre, ever committed to celluloid. Its maker should be dragged forth in front of the nearest judge and be forced to pay for his crime against all those that practice the art of filmmaking. ‘
Grace – ‘I’m not sure what’s more shocking, the contents of this film or your reaction to it..’
Travis – ‘Come now Grace, surely even your underworked intellect can appreciate that what you are viewing is worse than the most amateur scenes viewable on the internet? And the things he has them doing, he just has no idea how to shoot them, the framing in nearly ninety percent of the shots looks like the work of an untrained chimpanzee...’
Grace – ‘Travis I had no idea that...this...kind of film even existed, why would I know if it was badly shot?’
Travis – ‘A films a film, no matter the content, the basics are simple. And you should know something about that. It’s not just the camera work, it’s quite obvious he cannot even direct his actors to look like their brains are in the same place as their bodies, you just don’t believe them, it’s not convincing. Seriously look at the one that’s on one foot now, with the rubber glove...look at the eyes, look at the empty, detached nature of them...it’s directing 101 not to give them their crack until after the shoot...it’s a rookie mistake...can you imagine Jon Favreau passing Robert Downey Jnr the pipe before Iron Man 2 wraps...’
Grace – ‘That may be true, but I’m still not convinced that that is the biggest thing wrong with this picture...’
Travis – ‘Travis Roberts will give him credit though, he does have a creative mind when it comes to positions and props, ‘The Headliner’ never imagine a ladle could be fashioned into such a device, but ‘The Blessed one’ is still unsure about the use of the spinach that was maybe a bit left field even for him...’
Grace – ‘I can’t believe you’re sitting here, critiquing...this....this....filth...it physically repulses me that anyone would subject two individuals to such a thing, that anyone would think this was OK, that anyone would have a mind sick enough to suggest they carry out those deeds on each other makes me question the state of humanity...and the fact your actually giving it any credit is...almost as sickening...’
Travis – ‘Actually, you are right Grace, that must be the first time you’ve heard that in some time, but ‘The Headliner’ means it. It’s quite clear that Stevie Wonder could have done a better job than Moss with a dodgy camera phone, a torch and some WD-40. ‘The Blessed One’ has given this atrocity far too much attention, anyone fooled by such garbage is likely to be hit by an airplane whilst crossing the street...’
[For the third time in the time we have been observing, Grace’s jaw hits the floor, and she looks at Travis, her mouth opening and closing for a minute or so before she speaks...]
Grace – ‘M...Mo...Moss...filmed...that?’
Travis – ‘You didn’t know? Oh, ‘The TWiSTeD Guerrilla’ just assumed...’
[Grace quickly gets to her feet, grabbing her slurpee from the floor and hurries towards the door.]
Grace – ‘I...I...I just need to go...’
[And with that Grace Harding, Moss Edwards’ prim and proper Cousin quickly fumbles with the door handle and runs into the corridor, as the door slams shut behind her, ‘The Headliner’ recovers yet another pre-rolled delicacy lights it, and switches off the movie, before blowing a plume of smoke into the air, with a self-satisfied look upon his face. He revels in the silence for a few moments as the door swings open, and the bulky frame of Tate Levene comes stumbling into the room.]
Tate – ‘I may....may have done a bad thing...’
[Travis leans forward, resigning himself to the fact his peace and quiet will have to wait, and he looks over his aviators at his chubby agent.]
Travis – ‘That makes two of us. You didn’t get over-excited in the cafeteria again did you? Obese Tony will end up banning you if you’re not careful.’
Tate – ‘No...no it’s not that...’
[Tate stands still, and hangs his head, avoiding making direct contact with ‘The Blessed Ones’ vision.]
Travis – ‘Well what was it then, ‘The Headliner’ has far more pressing issues to attend to than staring at your blubbery frame...’
Tate – ‘We-ee-ll...You know how last week, when we found out about that video Moss made, and you said under no circumstances were we to go to your lawyers....’
Travis – ‘Yes?’
Tate – ‘I went to your lawyers...’
Travis – ‘Oh dear god...’
Tate – ‘They went to see Moss today...’
Travis – ‘Stop...just stop...Travis Roberts doesn’t need to hear anymore. The last time the lawyers got involved your Grandmother became Senior Enforcer, and that’s hardly worked out in ‘The Blessed Ones’ favour has it. There is no way that went well...’
Tate – ‘You are right, it didn’t...’
Travis – ‘What possessed you to not follow Travis Roberts’ instructions? How could you even contemplate for the briefest of seconds that your judgement could ever be more accurate than that of ‘The Headliner’? ‘The Blessed One’ cannot imagine what possibly gave you that impression, he knows for sure your family never encouraged you to think freely, they were just ecstatic you showed any basic motor functions whatsoever...’
Tate – ‘I don’t see what harm it could have done, we could have made him cease and desist...’
Travis – ‘What harm could it have done? Really? Apart from the impact to ‘The Headliners’ bank balance after however many hours it took those goons to cut and paste a template to fit the scenario? Well Travis Roberts says his bank balance, when we both know the cost will be deducted straight from your wages...’
Tate – ‘You pay me?’
Travis – ‘Strictly speaking yes, your Grandmother and ‘The Blessed One’; agreed to set up a trust fund in your name, we both make contributions each week, and you’ll be able to access it once you retire, or gain the decision making skills of a partially retarded puppy....’
Tate – ‘That’s SO not fair...’
Travis – ‘Are you really going to stand there and argue that you have the ability to make reasonable decisions after this most recent debacle? Seriously, ‘The Blessed One’ is stunned, he assumed even you could grasp the fact this was no more relevant than a Robert Montana title shot. If anyone finds out about this it gives weight to Moss’ puerile stunt, obviously the more intelligent of our species would see right through the shambolic plan, unfortunately though our viewers generally don’t fall into that category.’
Tate – ‘In my defence, I kinda thought legal action might distract him from your match this week, giving you the edge...’
Travis – ‘Firstly, Moss Edwards is a filmmaker, an atrocious one at that, with a panache for copyright infringement, what makes you think half his days aren’t spent dealing with legal challenges? Secondly, well it shouldn’t really need saying, ‘The Blessed One’ doesn’t need an edge...’
Tate – ‘You haven’t had the best of times against him recently...’
Travis – ‘Lets please not use last week as an example, even the most focused and centred Zen master would have been disorientated by the antics of Randy Boolzian and Moss Edwards. ‘The Blessed One’ stood in the centre of a GIW ring, in what was meant to be the main event of the card, and saw two of the company’s, apparently hottest, commodities act like two men more used to working the lowest common denominator in town halls...come on slapstick? It was like trying the fight Laurel and Hardy, there’s no way that is a credible matchup...’
Tate – ‘You can’t deny it has given him momentum...’
Travis – ‘What does that matter? The Auteur is too busy plotting his next prank on ’The Red Bull Icon’ to use any positives to his advantage in regards to the Unified Global Championship. Moss is too preoccupied with cock blocking Randy to pose any real threat to ‘The Headliner’, and really who can blame him, he and Grace are...close...he wouldn’t want to risk her catching anything, that could lead to some awkward trips to the doctor.
Whilst Moss is so distracted by Randy Boolzian, how is it possible that he can challenge ‘The Blessed One’? Young Randall is arguably one of the most gifted athletes of his generation, and his very career has been built around ripping glory from the clutches of ‘The Headliner’, his entire motivation has been focused on that, and not even he could manage to beat ‘The Highest Standard in GIW’, despite that determination and skill. On what basis can a distracted moonlighter be expected to fair any better?’ And could you imagine if somehow, from somewhere that very cousin he seems so protective of, found a reason to find him distasteful? Just imagine how distracted he would become?’
Tate – ‘But hasn’t he been distracted anyway...and still managed to beat you...’
Travis – ‘’The Headliner’ has no inclination in trying to explain the situation to the abject poverty of your intellect, it truly is a waste of his time. On Sunday, when Moss Edwards and Travis Roberts come face to face yet again this month, as ever ‘The Highest Standard in GIW’s’ actions in the ring will prove to be enough evidence of the impossible challenge that lies ahead of ‘The Auteur’ in San Antonio. You see this week, Moss Edwards will be alone in that ring, unlike the past couple of weeks, he won’t have Randy Boolzian to make him look like a true main eventer, nor will he have my wife to make him look good...it will simply be Moss and ‘The Blessed One’, standing toe to toe, and it’s ultimately inevitable that the shadow of ‘The Headliners’ stunning brilliance will by far eclipse the mediocrity of Moss Edwards. Let’s just hope Moss enjoys his few weeks in the spotlight, before, like everyone else, he is plunged back into midcard obscurity until his turn comes round once more...’
Tate – ‘I dunno, Gran seems quite fond of him...’
Travis – ‘For the sake of Global Impact Wrestling ‘The Headliner’ genuinely hopes The Levene Family Matriarch has decided to play up the ‘Ditzy Old Lady’ angle, because otherwise once again GIW is going to have to rely upon the industry and inventiveness of ‘The Blessed One’ to pull it through, and maybe ‘The TWiSTeD Icon’ is becoming tired of being the only one with more than a pair of working brain cells in GIW. Can you imagine if that ever happens, this place will probably go back to Declan Prescott headlining shows, and that would surely sound the death knell of the company in his current state.’
Tate – ‘Woah, did you just badmouth Declan...’
Travis – ‘What in the name of TWiSTeD are you talking about, why would Travis Roberts even mention his Revolutionary Partner, we haven’t seen him in months...’
Tate – ‘Ummm, he’s been tagging with Andy Savana for a while now...’
Travis – ‘You are so naive young Tate, it’s obvious that is the hobo Peter Damascus posing as ’The Significant Player’. The board were probably getting increasingly nervous about the absence of Global impact Wrestling’s only other world class talent, and the effect that had on the brand, and therefore got someone in who looked remotely like ‘The Heart and Soul of GIW’ in the hope that it would fool the viewing audience. Now ‘The Headliner’ is the first to admit that GIW’s fans are not the smartest bunch, but even they aren’t void of enough intelligence to believe that is the true article. Apart from his obvious lack of any talent whatsoever, no matter if he was in an almost comatose state of stupor, ‘The Significant Player’ would never[/b] commit career suicide by aligning with Andy Savana...that’s a move even the likes of Killswitch and Sean Jensen would have thought better of...’[/color]
Tate – ‘Ok...’
Travis – ‘You doubt Travis Roberts? Really? You don’t think ‘The Blessed One’ would love to see ‘The Heart and Soul’ walk back through the doors to the GIW Arena once more? You don’t think ‘The Highest Standard in GIW’ wouldn’t embrace the return of the only other person capable of representing this federation at the very top level? ‘The Headliner’ would give almost anything for Declan Prescott to return to GIW, but what we are witnessing is not the triumphant return of ‘The Significant Player’ but something that closer resembles the second coming of Rik Ricker and it leaves Travis Roberts with the sole responsibility of carrying this company’s reputation upon his shoulders, and his alone.’
[Upon saying this Travis Roberts takes a final drag upon his pre rolled delicacy and discards into the sink to his side. He then gets to his feet and towers over Tate.]
Travis – ‘And because ‘The Headliner’ is charged with a task of such great importance and one so imperative to the survival of the very world we all call home, he really doesn’t have time to drain his energy wasting time arguing with your barely developed mind. But don’t worry yourself about anything Tate, as ever Travis Roberts will continue to lead the way in GIW, no matter how the fates conspire to destroy the name of Global Impact Wrestling, with drunken jobbers or mid-carders with title shots, ‘The Blessed One’ will always be on hand to put them all back in their rightful place...directly below ‘The Headliner’.’
[With that Travis reaches into his top pocket, retrieves yet another pre-rolled and lights it as he saunters out the door as the scene fades out as he exhales happily into the air.]
