A Few Minutes Later…
We open the scene in the living room of “The Soul of Philly” TJ’s house. The owner of the house is sitting with his two close friends, Roger Gings and Trey Gings, as the two brothers are battling each other in a game of Madden ’13. Raj is controlling the New Orleans Saints and Trey, the Houston Texans. Its mid-way through the 3rd quarter of the game with Raj leading thirteen to ten. TJ splits the two brothers as he has his laptop on his lap as he is browsing the net while sporting his LeSean McCoy Eagles jersey.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings PICK!
Trey.Gings GOD DAMN IT SCHAUB!
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Hahaha, don’t blame him, youse the one throwing the ball.
Trey.Gings Fuck off. I knew I should have taken the Ravens.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Hey, three randoms guys, you could have taken them. It’s your fault.
Trey.Gings Well, I didn’t know Foster was going to break his fucking leg.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings He ain’t on Greg Jennings level doe.
Trey.Gings True that. Hey, TJ, you talk to Kelli?
TJ, formerly half paying attention responding to fans tweets, perks up at the mention of his former flame’s name.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Take that as a no.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Hu-what?
Trey.Gings You talk to Kelli?
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Ah….no.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Why not?
Trey.Gings He’s scared.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Nah, it’s not that. It’s just, it’s been awhile. I mean, she broke my heart man.
Trey pauses the game and stands up in front of TJ.
Trey.Gings You wanna watch The Vow and be a skirt alone cuz I ain’t gonna PMS with you.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Haha, Trey’s got a point T. You’re sounding reeeeaaaalll fruit right now.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Come on guys, you don’t know what the hell it feels like. I really lost everything minus you two and Jacob, every semblance of my life was gone.
Trey.Gings We get that TJ, but you gonna be a fuckin’ skirt about it and I an’t gonna stay around to see your cryin’ ass. Ya know what I’m-
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Trey.Gings No, not really, I can leave and grab a bite to eat and call up a girl for a date ya know. Raj could hang out with Liz, whose about to give birth.
Roger .“Raj”.Gings True.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ No, not that, Yarmouth, that jabron I’m facing Sunday, just, and I kid you not, fucking Touted at a house show. The subject: me.
Trey.Gings What the fuck is Tout?
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Here, watch this. Raj, you got your camera?
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Yea.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Grab it and we’re filming right after this. This is fucking great…
Roger .“Raj”.Gings PICK!
Trey.Gings GOD DAMN IT SCHAUB!
Roger .“Raj”.Gings Hahaha, don’t blame him, youse the one throwing the ball.
Trey.Gings Fuck off. I knew I should have taken the Ravens.

Roger .“Raj”.Gings Yea.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Grab it and we’re filming right after this. This is fucking great…
A Few Minutes Later…
Roger .“Raj”.Gings We’re on T.
TJ nods, and waves to the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Hi Yarmouth, how are you doing. It’s TJ, you know, your opponent come Sunday. I was going to Tout this to you, but, they only give you about 15 seconds to say what you want, how you got almost, why I counted as about 7 minutes worth of shit spewing in a Tout, I don’t know.
TJ shrugs and Trey laughs.
Trey.Gings He can barely work his dick when it comes to making a baby, how the fuck he work a Tout.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Alright Trey, that was uncalled for, but the point stands, I really am intrigued by your technological prowess. Maybe not as intrigued by the claims you made in that extended Tout of yours.
TJ motions to Trey to get out of the background.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Now, my buddy Trey feels the way he feels, no changing that. The same way you feel the way you feel, no changing that except for your feelings towards the result of our match. You see all I kept hearing was that you were going to win. That I was going to feel your wrath. That you were going to kick my “arse” in the ring. That you were going to throw too many punches for me to fathom.
TJ lets out a chuckle, which turns into a hearty laugh.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ You can throw all the punches you want to, if they don’t land, it won’t matter though. You see, Yarmouth, like I said, I’ve been following you since I got here, scouting for the moment we get in the ring. Looking at your strengths and weaknesses, looking at the mistakes you make and the ones you almost make. You tend to get wild, which, honestly, scares the shit out of people. Makes them second guess what the fuck they just did while you beat the shit out of their face. It’s great to watch and even more fun to do, yea, I know, I’ve done it before. And all the while you’re punching the shit out of someone’s face, all you’re thinking about is. “Punch! Punch! Punch!” Like some sort of Incredible Hulk and Shaft genetic experiment.
This time Roger chuckles from behind the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ But that’s just it, you’re anger only intimidates the weak. I mean, take June Eighteenth for example. A battle royal on Meltdown to determine who would represent the Meltdown brand in the Test for the Best tournament and you were tearing it up. Making almost everyone in the ring fear you. You did work son! But you made a mistake, you thought you had Carmen Rivera eliminated and you didn’t and she eliminated you, didn’t she? Oh, that’s not the point I’m getting to though. No, it’s after your elimination where you and Evan Envi talked, you were about to leave and he got you to come back and he smacked the shit out of you. You didn’t do anything and he did it again, and you…chumped…out.
TJ gives that, “C’Mon Man” shrug and head shake combo.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ And rather than do something at that moment, at that point in time to Evan, a man who beat you TWICE for the North American Championship, you walked away. Sure you came down to the ring and wreaked havoc on the Stryker and Evan, but you went into the back and second guessed yourself didn’t you? You went back there and said, “Did I just let him do that to me? Did I just let him bitch me?” You then answered your own question and got angry and got your revenge. So Yarmouth, given your thinking skills, I’ll explain the point, you don’t do anything to anyone’s face. You couldn’t intimidate Evan so you attack him when he wasn’t expecting it, like a bitch. You couldn’t stand that he made you his own bitch and that you allowed it to happen, so you attack him when he felt that he was safe, you attacked a much smaller man when he felt he was safe around a “giant”
TJ leans forward into the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ I’m not a smaller man. I said it before, I’ll say it again, I’m bigger than you, you won’t intimidate me nor make me feel safe and lull me into a blindside attack. So what are you going to do then? All your life, you’ve been the bigger man in a fight, the bigger dog, never have you been put in a spot where you actually go in smaller. I’ve faced many a men who were close to my size or bigger, and I’ve walked out of those match, most times, the winner. I know how to fight a man my size, but do you? I don’t think so.
TJ smiles as he shakes his head.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ But the thing that stood out among all of your dick stroking, was that you were going to win and win and win after you beat me and, here the best part, there wasn’t a damn thing I could do to stop it.
TJ leans back in his couch, almost tipping it backwards. He quickly launches himself forward almost headbutting the camera, his breath leaving some condensation on the lens.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ How ‘bout if I break your fucking back? How you going to win and win and win if you can’t move your fucking legs again?
Roger .“Raj”.Gings DUDE! THE CAMERA!
TJ looks up at Roger, rather than the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ Fuck the camera, and fuck Yarmouth. For two years, I sat on my ass, depressed following the MURDER of my brother. For two years, I stayed away from my second home, a wrestling ring, because I couldn’t find a reason to live, let alone wrestle. And this Yarmouth wants to fucking talk about pain? He doesn’t know anything about pain, but he will soon.
TJ leans back on the couch, still fuming.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ You will. I’ll give you something to fucking cry about. Sure, it’s sad you’re not going to be a father and your girl broke up with you. Have you gone to jail for protecting your family? No. Have you had your heart broken as the cell door closed on you? No. Have you had to hear from half way across the WORLD, that you’re brother was murdered in a drive by? FUCK NO! You want to talk about pain? I’ll give a reason. You’ll talk about the pain of not being able to walk because you wanted to cry about a girl leaving you because you can’t get the job done. You’ll cry to everyone that you wish you never opened your mouth to talk about pain, because maybe you’d be able to feed yourself your mom’s terrible oatmeal. You’ll weep that, because you cried about a girl who clearly wasn’t the one for weeks on end, you can’t TALK.
TJ stands up, looking down at the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ See, I was saving this sort of motivation for Jules, but I’ve deemed you worthy of the ass kicking of the millennium. In the year 2584, people will talk about the live beating TJ gave Yarmouth on APW’s Asylum on September Twenty-Third, 2012. But luckily for you, you’ll get to live it. You’ll get to live greatness in its truest form whipping you pillar to post like the bitch you are. You’ll get to live through your nightmares in their physical forms beating you all over Quezon City so bad that I’m to never step foot in the Philippines every again. You get to live through “THE SOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLL OF PHILLY” beating that tunnel of light into your eyesight, but beating you enough to pull you back just in time to hear the ref’s hand hit the mat three times, to hear the crowd ROAR with approval of the ass kicking, to hear Stenfelder say, “HERE IS YOU’RE WINNER….”THE SOUL OF PHILLY” TJ
TJ leans down into the camera.
The.Soul.of.Philly TJ And the last thing you’ll hear is me, “I warned you.”
TJ nods, and waves to the camera.
