The scene opens backstage in Vin’s locker room. Vin is sitting, hunched over watching a small nine inch TV held between his hands. Over Vin’s shoulder stands Gideon. The camera swings back over Vin’s shoulder to revile the program that had the two men so enthralled.
It was of course The APW show. Vin stared intently, watching Michael Lively rant. Vin’s eyes blink and go wide with shock. He looks up at Gideon.
Vin: “Is this guy serious?”
He chuckles
Vin: “I’ll give it to him; it sounds like his mom finally gave him his balls back…..I mean after the last showing he had against me, with all his whimpering and bitching and moaning right before the match……At least this time he’s a little pissed. It should make for some interesting theatrics……Not that the theatrics is going to make a shit lick of difference when he steps into the ring with me…long pause…Hey Gideon, let me ask you, where does God draw the line between fighting for a cause and just outright enjoying the ass kicking that your throwing someone?”
Gideon: “Well that depends…..in this case….in the ring….its just business, you both signed contracts to fight, so it’s not like your attacking him without honor, or doing it out of malice or sinful ambition……however one should never take joy in the harming of another.”
Vin: “Right……you listen to this guy for a little while and then tell me you don’t think that it would be just a little fun to hand him his own ass?”
Vin hands the miniature TV over to the stoic monk, and goes to the bathroom. Gideon watched with a discerning eye. His face completely still. His statuesque demeanor had won him more than his share of poker games in his life before Opus Dei. The bathroom door squeaks as it closes behind the exiting Vin. As Vin approaches, Gideon slowly turns his head toward him. Using every ounce of self control in him he says….
Gideon: “You know Vin I see that you have much learning to do on your path before God, however when you step in the ring with this man do me a favor.”
Vin: “What’s that?”
Gideon: “All I ask is that when you beat him…..please, for all of Christendom…..make certain that when you strike your final blow…..and you feel the breath leaving his body….that you take the time to think of me.”
Vin: “Ok man, but…..uhh…why?”
Gideon: “Because that man could work the nerves of a saint….and would very much like to know that the last thing on the mind of the man who strikes this man down…..was me.”
With that they both start to laugh. A sudden knock at the door breaks up the merriment. Gideon walks over to the door and answers the knock. The door swings open and Artemis Morningstar walks through the door.
Artemis: “Yo, Vin did you just hear what…..”
Vin: “Yep…just got done watching it.”
Artemis: “Is this guy fucking for real?”
Vin: “Not really….I mean he does actually exist if that’s what you mean….but I wouldn’t actually place money on finding anyone who would admit to giving a shit….I guess we should feel kind of bad for him though it has to be a sorry existence when the only was you can feel good about yourself is to convince your mom that you’re the second coming of Jesus…”
The group erupts in laughter.
Vin: “I mean come on does he really think that just because he tells everyone that he is Jesus that we are all going to believe him…..I’ll tell ya what after I kick his ass on overdrive I’m going to bury him under a rock….and then check in three days….”
Talking while still laughing.
Artemis: “You know what I find funny is……I mean I know I’m new to all this but I don’t think I remember there being anything in the bible about Christ being born to a whore the second time around?”
Gideon: “Nope…I don’t seem to be able to recall a single one.”
Vin: “Hey guys, maybe Kenny can get him a part in the Halo movie he is staring in. I mean Lively is just as much of a joke as the thought of Kenny being the Master Chief.”
Group oooohhh
Vin: “But seriously guys this sap doesn’t worry me, I mean please the man is how old and still living with mommy? This guy can no more handle me now than he could the last time. He lakes the drive, motivation, and testicular fortitude to stand toe to toe with me and bang. I ran over him last time and I made the mistake of being nice and letting him keep his arm……Not this time…..this time I take a trophy with me when I leave that ring.”
Gideon: “Ok Vin now do you remember just asking me not to long ago about that fine line. Well I think that you just found it. The removing of body parts, I have a feeling was never outlined in the contract that he signed.”
Vin: “It doesn’t have to be outlined, it is implied…He should damn well know better after the last time he stepped into the ring with me…..if it wasn’t for me having had a fairly nice week that week he would have lost his arm…..I don’t normally let people that claim to be shit they ain’t walk away from me as unharmed as him.”
Gideon: “Calm down Vin you’re getting excited.”
Vin: “Dude Fuck that….I don’t give a shit….I’ve seen this shit before….it happened to me last time with Jason Royce and The Hardcore Kid….I had to fight those fucks like three or four fucking times…and I will be good and God…”
Gideon: “Watch it Vin…”
Vin: “Well good and damned then, if I am going to have to go through the same shit with this numb nuts. I mean come on, look at this guy; he hasn’t had an original thought in his head ever since he shoved it up my brother’s ass. I swear he tongues my brother’s ass when Kenny ain’t lookin’……..He fucking slobbers all over Kenny’s nuts till finally Ken lets him hang out with them, kind of like the geek in school that it was just easier to let him hang around than it was to have to keep kicking his ass…..This guy is nothing….I don’t even think that he believes himself half the time…”
Artemis: “Bro you got issues…..I don’t get it why are you making such a big fucking deal out of this guy for?...Didn’t you already beat him?....so what do you care what he say’s”
Vin: “for the same reason you broke your instructors nose……cause sometimes there are something’s that are just more important than just saying what the fuck ever….there is a certain amount of frustration level too. It’s like when you have a kid that wants a toy, and you tell then that they can’t have the toy, but the kid doesn’t stop, so you yell at the kid, and the fuck still doesn’t stop……there comes a point where you have to smack the kid on the ass…..and it that doesn’t work, you smack him in the mouth….and if he swings at you, you smash him into the wall, and if he doesn’t stop swinging after that you drop him to the floor and throw an arm bar on his stupid ass…..and since that still didn’t make him stop now I have to put the little bastard in the hospital.”
Artemis: “Whoa, you have some serious anger issues…but I do understand.”
Vin: “Ok guys listen I have to get ready for my in ring. So if you guys wouldn’t mind I’ll see you all later.”
Artemis and Gideon stand and walk out of the room. Vin walks over to his duffel bag and pulls from it a pre-rolled joint and lights it. He pulls hard and long trying to fill his lungs with inspiration for his in-ring. The camera gets in close on Vin’s face as the smoke from the second inhale fills the lens.
