{Scene opens with Rollin' Ryan Dice standing in the hallway talking with Pogo Peterson.} Pogo: So, Ryan are you sure you are ready for this match up with Lazarus? Ryan: Hell yeah I'm ready... This guy isn't even a wrestler... He doesn't even stand a chance against me in that ring... My whole life has been consumed by the wrestling business and I'll be damned if I let some rookie walk in and humiliate me at my own game... Pogo: I just wanted to make sure... Because, I am a huge fan of you and I have been cheering you on from the announcers table ever since I got here and even though I really like your style... You haven't been too lucky as of late with your win/loss record... Ryan: Yeah, well shit happens and sometimes winning isn't the most important thing... But I have to admit, luck hasn't been on my side and it seems like every week, someone else is trying to screw me over... I mean, when is the last time I've had a match and nobody stuck there nose in it? Pogo: I couldn't say... Maybe we'd have to go back to your RWD days for that one, huh? (Ryan laughs) Ryan: Maybe... But hey, what do you know about this Lazarus guy? I've seen him on TV a couple times but he never seems to be talking about me... Hell, he barely says anything at all... All he does is eat and shop for clothes... Pogo: I don't know anything about him Ryan... I couldn't even tell you where he came from... It's like he just appeared out of nowhere... Ryan: Well, after this Sunday he might be thinking about going back to where he came from... Pogo: That's good to hear... Because it really sucks how you were screwed out of that World Title Tournament by LG... Ryan: Yeah, that's because LG is a jealous little prick and he can't handle the fact that he never was as good as me and he never will be as good as me... But, he'll get his sooner or later and that World Title will be around my waist pretty damn soon... Pogo: Speaking of the World Title... What are your thoughts on Cliff leaving XWD? Ryan: I really wasn't surprised... as much as BG would hate to admit it... Him and CLIFF are pretty much the same person... CLIFF, didn't win the world title twice and both times he walked away... First it was in WXW and now in XWD... And we all saw how BG handles a loss... (Ryan begins to laugh) Ryan: But hey... I guess some people just can't handle a loss... Pogo: I guess not... Well, good luck with Lazarus... And it's been nice talking with you... Ryan: Luck? I seriously doubt that I'll need luck to beat that chump... (Ryan and Pogo laugh and shake hands. Ryan begins to walk down the hall when a door opens and Ryan bumps into BG. Brian and Ryan stare at each other for a second and then Brian mumbles something under his breath... ) BG: Speak of the devil... (Ryan smiles) Ryan: How's the ribs...BRO BG: Funny you ask huh....but you know, you might want to use that term a little loosely there.....I don't consider you anything more than a female Ryan: Aw come on BG... Just last week I was your best friend in the World... BG: Just last week, man that's something that is....well let's just say humorous. Sure you were man, and hell you still would be if you hadn't lost your damn balls Ryan: Oh, I didn't lose a damn thing... I just finally realized that I had a pair... BG: Oh yeah I'm so sure that it takes balls to attack someone from the back man. After all I did for you..... Ryan: All you did for me huh... What about all that I did for you? The talks we had when you were about to give it all up... If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be around anymore...Then you act like a hoe and don't sign the XWD contract just because of money issues... BG: Okay, I'm willing to give you that, if it wasn't for the all powerful words of Ryan Dice, I'd probably be gone at this point.....but think about it Ryan....who's the one with the real talent? That's why I wanted the money so bad, if you had the skills of me, why not huh? Why not make the extra mil? Ryan: Oh, now I don't have the skills that you have, huh? Don't be a fucking hypocrite man... You used to say I was the best damn technical wrestler there is and now I ain't shit just because I laid your ass out in front of all YOUR fans? BG: That's right huh? They are my fans. And you only laid me out because my back was turned after giving that piece of shit the Special Delivery. I did that for you man. You think about that okay, you think about it. When you were supposedly the "best technical wrestler" out there. I was the best OVERALL wrestler out there, and to MY fans, that's all that matters...MY fans make MY money (Ryan begins to laugh) Ryan: The best overall wrestler, huh? We'll see about that at Betrayal... BG: Betrayal is only what? A month away? And in that month you get to see me wrestle like what? Four times right? Well, think about this okay? Those four times that I wrestle, I'm going to get better, and better, and better, when Betrayal comes.... I'll make you look stupid....just like I have a good feeling Lazarus will do against you this Sunday Ryan: Don't worry about Lazarus... I have that under control... What you better be worried about is that old man that might just humiliate your ass in front of all your precious fans.... BG: humiliate me? The Extreme Legend Brian Graves? I don't think that's possibly unless by chance he tears a page out of the book of bitch and attacks me from behind....you know all about that huh? (Ryan laughs again) Ryan: Oh, you're a barrel of laughs today, aren't you? All I'm saying is you better not overwork yourself before Betrayal because I want every piece of fight you have at Betrayal and I don't want there to be any excuses when I beat your ass in the middle of MY ring... got it? BG: Oh my friend, excuses there will be none of. You don't have to worry about me at all. As long as RJ doesn't add Kid G to this match, everything will be fine. But speaking of RJ....and matches before Betrayal...isn't this funny...I take on RJ...you take on RJ....Lazarus challenges me, but no, you face him....two of MY scheduled opponents you want to take on.... Ryan I don't know but is this coincidence or does someone have a case of the Extreme Legend Jealousy? Ryan: It's not jealousy my friend... I'm just proving to the World that I am every bit as good as you are... See, I already know that I can take you, but everyone else seems to think that because you've held a few World Titles, you're unbeatable... So, from now until Betrayal... Everything you do, I'm going to do it better... Just like I said before, I'm going to outshine the "Extreme Legend." But, hey good thing there won't be any titles on the line, because I'd really hate to hear you bitch and moan about losing another belt... BG: Ouch....really that was below the belt man, try and keep the gloves up next time okay? But until then realize something, I didn't just win a couple world titles, try 20. Try 79 over-all titles....I'd like to see you accomplish that in your lifetime, and old man....i'm only 18 years old, isn't that ironic? Oh and your not going to have to worry about out shining me, because after I destroy RJ this week, there will be nothing left for you to do to him....and I figure that when I face Lazarus, he'll be in good health...your not going to do much damage...and bitch about losing a belt? Oh come on, how often does that happen? Ryan: How Often, huh? I think I can remember one time in particular where you went out like a bitch... Then you had twenty-thousand excuses on why it wasn't your fault... Instead of just excepting you lost like a man... You bitched and moaned like a hoe until half the fucking roster left... But, like I said... Don't worry about Lazarus because I have that all under control and I can promise you that he won't be walking away smiling after our match... Hell, that's if he walks away at all... BG: Was it because I bitched and moaned that half the roster left? Or was it that they realized the fed was going down the shit-hole when a true champion got cheated, and the fake champions stepped up....who were those people? Oh yeah that's right....you huh? The man who took advantage of a weaken Genocide, you won the title and you know damn well you never deserved it...and the sick part is, that was the highlight of your worthless career, if I were you, I'd check yourself before you end up getting hurt... (Ryan begins to laugh again) Ryan: BG, man... Where do you come up with this stuff? Me taking advantage over Genocide, huh? And I never deserved the title... Hey, maybe I didn't deserve the fucking belt... But that doesn't matter anymore because I can assure you that the next World Title I win, I will deserve it and I'll be laughing in your face because knowing you... You'll probably be involved somehow... You just can't keep your face out of the spotlight... Oh, and as far as me taking advantage of Genocide... What, are you mad because I got to him first? Is that it Mr. superstar? BG: I am telling you bro, you better step down before you get hurt...don't you ever accuse me of anything man, you remember....I carried your ass in my shadow for to damn long, all this is to me is a burden that's off my shoulders, I'm just lightening the load....I can finally concentrate...on doing what I want to and that's kicking your ass.... (Brian pushes up on Dice and they get in each others face when suddenly Angel comes from around the hallway and breaks it up) Ryan: Aww, how nice... You got your little bitch to protect you, huh? Angel: Listen Ryan, whether or not you have problems with Brian is your own thing okay? When it comes to the right time Brian will kick your ass, until then, go back to your house wife okay? Blake did his part and he assigned you guys a match, both of you need to grow up (Ryan smiles) Ryan: Now isn't that cute... Brian's little girl is trying to talk his way out of a fight... BG: Talk my way out of a fight? I swear to God I'll fucking kill you man....don't test me (Angel steps in between) Angel: Brian we're leaving (She grabs Brian from the arm and drags him down the hall... He is glaring at Ryan as he walks off. Ryan laughs) Ryan: You honestly think you scare me, don't you Brian? Keep walking away with your tail between your legs bitch... Because at Betrayal Angel won't be there to save your ass... (Brian stops and takes a deep breath. He looks down Ryan Dice and he stares right back....Brian gets an intense look on his face and looks down at Angel who is pleading with him at this point to stay....Brian then releases a breath and smiles.... ) BG: See you Sunday Ryan (Ryan smiles) Ryan: Can't wait (Brain and Angel walk down the hallway as Ryan stands there laughing. Suddenly Joey Bells walks up to Ryan.) Joey: What's so funny? Ryan: Oh, just the fact that the great Brian Graves has no idea what the hell he has gotten his self into... See, he thinks this is a game and in the game he is thinking of... He always comes out on top... It's not happening this time... This time, I'm going to show BG that I've always been the better man and the only reason he stayed on top as long as he did was because I let him... I could've turned on him and showed the World my true skills a long time ago... But our friendship got in the way... See, I really thought we were true friends... I thought Brian would always have my back and I knew that I would always have his... But when I realized that all he cared about was the stardom and the money, I knew our friendship was worthless and I realized that it is finally my time to shine... Joey: Aren't you even worried about Lazarus? Ryan: Joey, I look at Lazarus as just another opponent who will find out first hand that Rollin' Ryan Dice is two hundred and ten percent premium athlete and by far the best technical wrestler that ever lived... I'm ready for Lazarus, the question is... Is he ready for me? {Ryan pushes past Joey Bells and walks off down the hall as the scene fades to black.}
