The scene opens backstage at the last TNT House Show. Cole Matthews is seen, He is wearing a pair of black slacks, and a white button down TNT shirt. He is walking towards the elevators.

Cole:Damn, that janitor got his ass kicked. Glad i got my ass out of there before he kicked my ass. Better them than me i suppose. I don't get paid for this shit. I need to get another job..

Cole gets on the elevator and presses the button. It goes down a floor, a few other people get on. All people in suits, talking about something with each other. The elevator gets on another floor and Cole gets out.

Cole:Hey, since i tried to get an interview with Xander, i might as well try and get one with Hardcore Justin. Maybe i'll get a raise!

Cole starts to walk down the hallway, passing different people along the way. He stops a guy carrying a bunch of papers.

Cole:Hey, did you see Hardcore Justin?

Guy:Who? Hardcore Justin? Who the hell is Hardcore Justin?

Cole:You know, Hardcore Justin, he had a match with Macintosh Rogers.. Long blond hair, ripped jeans, he's a new commer.

Guy:Oh yeah, that guy. That kid is weird. I think he's in the locker room down that hall. All the way down and then to the left. You can't miss it.

Cole nods and thanks the guy. He walks down the hall and then to the left. Loud music is comming from inside the room. "Iron Man" By Black Sabbath is heard being played. Cole turns the door knob and opens it. There is a boom box being played on the bench, and sitting there is Hardcore Justin. He is seen smoking a bowl. He takes a huge hit, and then exhales. He coughs a little, and stares at Cole. Justin is wearing a plain white t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, a pair of ripped jeans, and a pair of old converse on his feet. Justin takes another hit of the bowl and then puts it down.

Cole:God, how did you pass the piss test to get in here?

Hardcore Justin:There are ways around that man.. It's the only thing that calms me down.

Cole:Uhhh.. Anyways. Well Justin welcome to TNT. You defeated Macintosh Rogers in your return match. Congradulations on your victory.

Justin turns off the music and reaches into his jacket that is by him. He takes out a large bag of weed, looks to be about an ounce. He starts to break some of it up. Still breaking it up, he starts to speak, not taking his eyes off of the weed.

Hardcore Justin:Well Cole, thanks for the congradulations, but its not needed. I did just what i said i was going to do. I made Macintosh Rogers my first stepping stone into this federation. I have to admit, i was a bit rusty, but hell, i handled him rather easily. Macintosh, that was your first match of your career. Let this make you think about your carreer of choice. This profession brings only pain and misery. There is no joy in this profession. Granted, i haven't been pro for very long, i am nowhere near the likes of Floyd or Adam Lax, or any of those other people from my past, but i have experience none the less. Rogers, welcome to the buisness kid.. Good luck.

Justin finishes up breaking up the stuff, and takes out a pack of Ez-Wider rolling paper. He puts it on, rolls it up. Takes out a lighter and lights up the joint. Takes a hit, exhales.

Cole:You do know that is illegal. If someone catches you your gonna be in deep trouble.

Hardcore Justin:Cole, shut your mouth, god. (Imitating cole in a high child-like voice) "You know if someone catches you your gonna be in deep trouble!!" Dammit man, you sound like a 10 year old little girl. I don't give a fuck who or what catches me. There are worse things in this world than this. Too many damn laws in this country anyway. This country would be better off without all of these laws.

Cole:Well anyways Justin you have a match with the huge beast Xander Kross. He's been here in the TNT awhile now and he shoulden't be taken lightly.

Hardcore Justin:Well Cole, i saw his match with Mike Wilson. I just have to say he got beat. Mike Wilson looks like he has what it takes to make it here in the TNT. And who knows, maybe someday down the road, i will meet Mike Wilson in the ring. But for now, i have to concentrate on Xander Kross.

Cole:Well Justin, Xander looked extremeley pissed when i met with him a little while ago. He is very upset about losing to Mike Wilson. Alot of people are counting you out of this match, saying he is going to destroy you. And i don't know Justin. Xander has got a huge size and weight advantage against you. Your what? 5'10"? 175 pounds?

Hardcore Justin:Yes Cole, i am the underdog going into this match. He does have a huge advantage over me. he is 6'5", about 325 pounds. but you know what Cole, i have been shut out all my life. I have had my back against the wall my whole f'n life. Xander Kross is nothing compared to what i have had to endure my whole life. Xander, i see you are pissed and disgusted with yourself after losing to Mike Wilson. Everybody thinks this is going to be a sqaush match with you and i. But i am here to prove them wrong. Xander what you don't get is this. I am here to destroy all of the competition yet. The rest of TNT doesen't know it yet. Of course i can't prove myself with defeating the likes of Macintosh Rogers, but you Xander, you Xander will serve as a huge leap in the right direction. I will prove everyone in this damn locker room, everyone sitting in those stands that i have what it takes to play with the big boys, and i have got what it takes to defeat the likes of you.

Cole:I don't know Justin. He is going to be on a warpath the next few days, what are you going to do in the ring when that huge beast is comming right for you?

Hardcore Justin:Cole, it's all up here. (points to his head) I'm going to outwit, and out smart this guy. This is the story of David and goliath. This is what this is. I am just like David.. The underdog, on the disatvantage.. But just Like David, i will destroy this giant. And i will Kill the hype once and for all. I will shut up all of these people that are counting me out. Xander, I am not the one in the wrong place at the wrong time. You my friend are. And you thought you were embarrassed to lose to Mike Wilson? Wait untill i pin your shoulders to the mat. I will bring everything i have to this match. Xander get ready.. And start believing in god.. Because he's the only one that can save you.. David is going to take out Goliath.. Once again.

Cole nods at justin and gets up. Justin is seen re lighting his joint as Cole exits the room.

Cole:Well there you have in fans, we are going to have David vs Goliath right here in the TNT! Hardcore Justin has promised to beat Xander Kross! Don't miss Mayhem on Sunday! Thank you!
