-[ The scene opens outside of the Melon Arena shortly after the conclusion of Malice. B-Pac is seen standing with his new friend, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin beside Austin's truck. The two are already in the middle of a conversation, where we pick up. ]- B-Pac: " Yeah, sure I lost my IC title... but when did the match become NDE and Wafer and Smoke Dawg versus me? I could have sworn that it was B-Pac -vs- Jecht... and I started the match off with Jecht... so how is it legal for another Jecht to come and score the pin fall? I mean, shouldn't I have won by count out if this was the legal Jecht that came out OVER 20 MINUTES after the bell rung? And where the hell was the rest of my group when I needed them? That is the reason I didn't stick around to help them... they leave me hanging, I leave them hanging. I think that WoW is corrupt, Steve. I've lost all of my confidence in the system. Prez Darren is just a political prostitute. He doesn't run or own anything around this place anymore. He's let others come in and take his empire right from under his nose. I'm very close to hanging up my boots here and looking for work elsewhere. You should hear the way some of these guys talk to Prez Darren... and he takes it and gives it to them their way. I'm guess he's scared of them either leaving or just up and beating his ass. Whatever the reason is, Prez Darren has lost my respect. I simply have no respect for a man that can't stand up for himself. Maybe that fued I had with Forsaken should have been done differently. Maybe ELITE and Forsaken should have hooked up and taken care of business instead of fighting over who was going to be the end of WoW. But... things aren't over yet. " Stone Cold: " You know, Stone Cold agrees with you 100 percent. I've seen first hand what politics and sorry ass presidents with no balls can do for a company. You see, the bottom line is that with Stone Cold Steve Austin on your side, there isn't a son of a bitch that can touch you. I understand that I can't step foot in that ring to compete right now, but you can bet your ass that as soon as all of these legal issues get settled, ol' Stone Cold is gonna raise some hell like only Stone Cold can. " B-Pac: " Yeah, I know you're dying to get back in the ring and whoop some ass. " Stone Cold: " What? " B-Pac: " Woah, woah, woah... please tell me that you're not gonna start doing that again. " Stone Cold: " No, really, I didn't hear what you said. I'm not as young as I used to be, you know. " B-Pac: " Oh... okay. I said that I know you're dying to get back in the ring and whoop some ass. And it looks like you may get a chance to help out a bit again... I have a match against Wafer... though for some reason, he's not "Bigg" anymore... just a plain Wafer, I reckon. You're set to be in my corner, so pay close attention and don't let anybody stick their nose in my business again. " Stone Cold: " Hey, you leave that up to Stone Cold. I won't let you down... even though some of your other friends might, you can always count on me. And thats the bottom line... because Stone Cold said so. " B-Pac: " I'm glad to hear that, Steve. I think you've made the right choice by leaving that other place and teaming with ELITE. Competition is more broad and way better here... you're going to have a great time. Hey, who would have thunk it? The Venom teaming up with The Texas Rattlesnake... as you would say, Steve: "That equals an ass load of ass whoopings". " -[ Stone Cold nods as he unlocks the driver's side door of his truck. He stops and looks around a few seconds before unlocking the passenger's side door. Stone Cold then checks his watch, with a bored look on his face. ]- Stone Cold: " What do people do for kicks around this place? Play checkers or something? " B-Pac: " I don't know... but there's a Hooter's a few blocks down. C'mon, I'll buy you a beer and we can talk business. " Stone Cold: " Hell yeah, that's what I was wanting to hear. Nothing makes Stone Cold feel better than a pitcher of beer and a good George Jones record. " -[ B-Pac rolls his eyes as the two men hop in Stone Cold's truck and head off down the block towards Hooter's. The scene fades... to... black. ]- |
