Roger .“Raj”.Gings That’s why I’m shocked.
They share a chuckle as Liz goes off to talk to the rest of the people. Trey walks towards the cooler and grabs three beers and walks back over and hands the beers to TJ and Raj.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Thanks.
Trey.Gings No problem.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ No thanks for helping out with this.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Wait, what did you help with?
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Well, he got you and Liz here didn’t he?
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Yea, but you could have told me and Trey could have been here helping you out..
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ No, because when Liz would have asked you what I was trying to right, you would have spilled the beans like someone threatened your family.
Trey.Gings Truth.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Plus, Trey was easier to coax into helping, I would have fought with you in trying to explain why.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Well it’s because of the talk.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Yea, but let’s be honest, you would have made it a much bigger thing than that. Make it a big deal that it would be my first attempt in months at being social.
Trey.Gings Yea, and we all remember how bad the time before that went.
The three of them share a shudder just thinking about that.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ I’m never drinking that much 1800 again.
Trey.Gings Yea, how the hell did we end up at a donkey show again?
Roger .“Raj”.Gings You. Said you had tickets to a show that some hot Spanish chick gave you.
Trey.Gings Ah. She spoke Spanish and I thought she said sex like a donkey not with a donkey.
They have a “That’s just gross” laugh as the party goes on. [/center]

Prologue
I’ve known TJ my entire life, at least the parts that I can remember. Him and my brother Roger, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them apart from each other for more than a day. It’s kinda, well, scary weird. I’m Roger’s brother and I don’t even see him as much as TJ does. I guess it’s because Roger’s been the only person in TJ’s life to not leave him aside from me and Jacob, so when Jacob died, probably caused a lot of TJ’s thinking to go away from the normal thoughts he has. Raj told me they talked about TJ recently and I’m glad it was him, because TJ would have blew me off, or thrown me across the gym, so when he called me with this idea, I wasn’t surprised. “Of course I’ll help you throw a surprise party.” Then he said a calm party. I said sure, but past getting them to the party, don’t expect me to be much help…

I said sure, but past getting them to the party, don’t expect me to be much help…
We open the scene on a very hot day in the backyard of a Philadelphia home. It’s your average Philadelphia backyard: half concrete walk that can be considered a patio by some and half dead grass. The backyard is filled with people in what seems to be as surprise birthday party as they all have birthday hats on.There is a “Happy Birthday” banner stretched across the wall of the house above a solid door that leads to the backyard. The backyard is filled with the usual party assortments: cups, plates, food. We span over to the right to see “The Soul of Philly” TJ behind the grill with a “Kiss the Grillmaster” apron on. His phone rings and he answers it.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Yeah…Ok…thanks.
He hangs up and takes the apron off.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Everyone, Trey and Raj are on their way over. Everyone away from the fence so there’s no chance they see us. That means me and you Travis.
A big black man backs away from the fence as into the middle of the yard as everyone joins him. A few seconds later we hear a car pull up and turn off. The doors to the car are heard being opened and shut and we hear the voices of Roger Gings, Trey Gings, and a female voice with them.
Trey.Gings What the hell did TJ want us over here for anyways?
Roger .“Raj”.Gings I dunno Trey, said something about righting a wrong.
Female.Voice Last time he did that, didn’t he almost get himself arrested.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Well, he was what, twelve? When did Batman Begins come out?
Female.Voice 2005.
Trey.Gings Yea, I don’t think TJ was twelve in oh-five.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Alright, look TJ’s been that big since he was twelve, give me a break.
The door to the front door can be heard opening and shutting as the voices are silenced. There is a brief quiet as the voices get louder as they approach the back door. The door swings open and the female, pregnant, enters the backyard first.
SURPRISE
The female falls to her knees in shock as Trey smile behind her while Raj looks just as shocked as the female.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Happy Birthday Liz!
The female, know identified as Liz or Elizabeth Harper, looks at TJ smiling as Raj and Trey help her to her feet.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper TJ, I’d be lying if I said this was on my mind when I was told you “wanted to right a wrong”.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Come here Liz.
TJ and Liz hug it out while Raj and Trey come up behind, both with their birthday hats on, Trey’s titled to the right.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Gotta say, I’m shocked.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Well, you got your point across last week.
[/i]The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Yeah…Ok…thanks.
He hangs up and takes the apron off.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Everyone, Trey and Raj are on their way over. Everyone away from the fence so there’s no chance they see us. That means me and you Travis.

They have a “That’s just gross” laugh as the party goes on. [/center]
A couple hours later…
The sun has begun to set, cooling off the partiers, which now are much fewer than when the surprise was made. TJ thanks the last few people before going over to a table on the “patio” where Liz, Raj, and Trey sit. Raj and Liz are sitting next to each other, drinking waters, holding each other’s free hand while Trey is stuffing his face with the last bit of the cake at the end of the table. TJ sits opposite of Trey, closer to Liz than Raj.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper Thanks TJ, again.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ No, I missed it two weeks ago and I felt bad about it, even before Raj and me talked.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper About what?
Trey bangs on the table then on his chest, causing the three to look his way. He swallows and breaths quickly.
Trey.Gings Sorry, wrong pipe.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Classy Trey. Honey, we just talked. TJ was being undeservedly mopey. So, I let him know to stop it.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper Everything ok TJ? Look, we’re family, I mean, sure I’ve known you the least outta me, Trey, and Roger, but you were the one who introduced me and Roger.
Trey.Gings Yea, but not before Roger spent Monday through Thursday with 4 different girls as a “Thank you” from TJ. Still waiting for that kinda “Thank you”.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings You're not looking for a girlfriend.
Trey.Gings So? What if one of the girls TJ would set me up with is the one that stops me from being such a playboy?
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ She’d be a miracle worker.
Trey.Gings Fuck you TJ.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Relax it’s just a joke.
Trey.Gings Nah, fuck you. You got no faith in me to change.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Trey, relax.
Trey.Gings No, you’re MY brother, not his! You should believe that I can be that guy!
Trey gets up and walks into the house.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings I’ll go talk to him. Be right back.
Raj gets up, kissed Liz on the forehead and then on her pregnant stomach, and follows Trey into the house, leaving Liz and TJ alone.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper Thank you TJ.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ I told you, it’s fine, it’s making up for missing the actual one.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper No, not for the party, for introducing me and Roger. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to thank you. He's a great man, he'll make a great dad to this baby of ours. Despite everything involving the housing situation, I don't think I've ever been this happy.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Well, you’re welcome.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper So, I think, I owe you one. I’m gonna set you up with someone.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Look, I’m not looking for anyone right now. I’m trying to focus back on wrestling, I’ve never been great at focusing on two things at once.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper Fair enough, but when you feel you’re ready to, you let me know and Lizzy will hook you up.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Haha, thanks Liz, I will remember that.
The hug each other. When they finish the hug, Liz grabs her water bottle and TJ leans back and looks up at the sky. Unbeknownst to him, the backdoor opened up and Raj and Trey are smiling, Trey with a bucket of something and Raj with a bottle of baby powder. Liz, seeing this, gets up.
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper I’m gonna grab another water for Roger when he gets back out, you want one?
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Actually, could you? My throats pretty dry.
Liz, trying to hold back laughter, smiles and nods as she makes her way to the cooler and outta the way of the splash zone. The Gings brothers get behind TJ, prepared to strike.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Trey.Gings TJ!
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Huh?
TJ turns around to get hit with a bucket of water and a bunch of baby powder.
Roger .“Raj”.GingsHAHA!
Trey.Gings ANTINQUED MOTHER FUCKER!
Liz laughs from the cooler as TJ gets up and towers over the Brother Gings as he wipes the powder and water from his face.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Trey.Gings Fuck.
TJ reaches for the two of them as the sprint into the house as the scene fades away
Elizabeth.“Liz”.Harper Thanks TJ, again.

Prologue
I think that was well needed. That talk, that match, that party, put things in perspective for me. Now, I just need to turn my focus to…huh, guess I gotta figure that out first.
I think that was well needed. That talk, that match, that party, put things in perspective for me. Now, I just need to turn my focus to…huh, guess I gotta figure that out first.
We open the scene atop a house looking into Center City Philadelphia. The sun is setting, giving the sky an orange tint to it. We hear the sounds of Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem” faintly in the background. We see two empty beach chairs spread out on the roof of the house. From the right of the camera emerges “The Soul of Philly” TJ, wearing a Philadelphia Phillies jersey and black athletic shorts.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Beautiful ain’t it? The city of Philadelphia that is. From up here, you see the beauty of it and can ignore the ugly of the city. Sometimes you need to look at something for a different view to see the beauty of it.
He walks over to the chairs and sits down on one, still looking at the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Example number one, Meltdown. When I got there, I looked at it as a detour to get to where I wanted to get. I saw the Test for the Best as a shortcut and I kept trying to take it but I kept getting cut off to it, eventually, the window to take the shortcut before it became too busy, closed. So I got upset with myself. Then I got a new way of looking at it. Meltdown was an opportunity for a fresh start, to go back to my old ways. Not worrying about what will come next, just focusing on what is happening.
He leans back in the chair and looks up at the sky.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ In my time away from the ring, I thought my name alone would get me the attention that I deserved, enough to get me to where I wanted to get to. I’ve been around a lot of place and a lot of people like that, I always hated that, and then I turned into what I hated. Then came last week, I had someone put me in my place in life, put me up higher and showed me the beauty of what I do. Then I put in work last week against Kiz. I threw him around the ring like he was nothing, hell I threw him outta the ring without breaking a sweat. I did what I was born to do, and that is over-power people. I am seven feet tall, 285 pounds of muscle, and the embodiment of what this city is about and last week I put that on display I wasted no time putting Kiz down and putting the roster on notice.
He grabs the other chair and moves it in front of him and puts his feet on the other chair, fuilly relaxing himself.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ I continue that notice this week when I face two guys who are just getting back into the swing of things. Last week, one made his return to APW and the other made his debut, both got their asses handed to them by Shadow, a man who is just as big as me but not as nasty. After last week, both were probably happy they made it out alive, happy to get outta the frying pan, only to find themselves now in the fire. You see, I know what I wanna do with my time here on Meltdown, and that’s hurt people. While I was beating the hell outta Kiz, I remembered how fun it was to toss people around that are smaller than me. Any I get to double the fun this week. And honestly, I think I’m only going to have fun in throwing this Bacon fellow around. This guy seems to have a fight going on for his mind and neither side is winning. I don’t know his story, don’t care for his story, don’t wanna be a part of his story, unless that part I play is of the guy who hit him in the head so hard that something went right and he stopped his little personality disorder. I’ve faced guys who have split personalities, guys who have mean streak, hell I faced someone who thought they were a superhero as soon as the bell rang, and guess what, they all fell.
He gets out of the chairs and stands back up.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ And this Matthew Turner, some self-centered, leather-jacket-obsessed jackass. I mean, come on, the guy is a complete jabroni. He goes by, “The One Man Wrecking Crew” Matthew F**kin’ Turner. Seriously, I wish I was making that up. See here in Philly, a lot of people’s middle names are F’ing, but that’s because they either infuriate us with mediocrity or annoy us with it. And that’s what Matty is to me, mediocre. At least, that’s what got from him last week aside from getting his ass kicked like a fourth grader who stood up to a ninth grader. We all gave him a round of applause for trying, but as soon as he started to charge Shadow we just watched as he got manhandled, why? Because anyone who wears leather jackets in the summer is a tool, and we all love seeing a tool get his ass kicked. And that’s why I am going to enjoy this match, because I personally get to kick your fake-Arthur Fonzarelli ass.
He chuckles a bit at the Happy Days reference, continuing to smile after he is done.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Now, before the two of you get your panties in a bunch and think that you two are going to redeem yourselves this week by taking out a different giant because one single-handedly beat the snot outta of you, know this, I am the only giant on Meltdown, the ONLY big man that wrestles on this show. I’m the only one that hits the hardest and the fastest. And June twenty-fifth, I will prove it. I’ll prove what it takes to be greatness in its truest form. I’ll prove what it takes to be nightmares in their physical forms. And come Monday, I’ll prove what it takes to be able to call myself, “THE SOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLL OF PHILLY”!
TJ breathes quickly after the exclamation from the top of the building.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ I hope you two are ready, because I am.
The scene fades as TJ stares into the camera with an intimidating look.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Beautiful ain’t it? The city of Philadelphia that is. From up here, you see the beauty of it and can ignore the ugly of the city. Sometimes you need to look at something for a different view to see the beauty of it.
