Trey.Gings TJ! YOU ARE FACING A MAN WHO TRIED TO GROWL AT YOU LIKE A CAT WITH A FUCKING CAT HAT ON! TJ! TJ! THINK ABOUT IT!
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ I have though.
Trey.Gings No, clearly, you fucking haven’t. How the hell are you going to get yourself hype for this match? You can’t TJ, so why?
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Because this has nothing to do with being hype or psyched. It has to do with me doing everyone a favor. Do you know how many people have had to suffer with Raab’s incoherent bullshit on twitter? Do you know how many people who put their bodies on the line just like that fat fuck he has discredited and disrespected? All those people and you know who has been able to shut him up? No one, wanna know why? Because he’s always got an excuse. (In a terrible German accent)“Yarmouth was the dead weight.” “Slade Craven is weak” “You didn’t pin me” “You never faced me in a match” “So and So helped you win the match” (Back to normal TJ)For the first time, there won’t be a single excuse that Raab can use. He doesn’t have any rules to follow. He can’t get DQ’d. He can’t get counted out. He can’t lose unless I beat him. He will lose because I beat him.
Trey.Gings Is that going to be enough TJ?
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ It’s never hasn’t been before, but clearly, watching this schmuck talk all that bullshit about Philly, I have enough.[/center]

Trey.Gings TJ! TJ! THE RAAB HAS SPOKETH!
We open the scene inside of TJ’s house, more importantly, in the kitchen where we find Trey Gings sitting at the kitchen table as his laptop sits in front of him. Stefan Raab’s video on APW.com is playing. Trey can’t help but laugh as TJ comes down the stairs and through the living room to watch.
Trey.Gings He can’t even eat a Cheesesteak right! TJ, you sure you want to go through with this, somae PC organization is gonna come after you for the beatdown you lay into him.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Yeah, it needs to be done.
The duo continue to watch Stefan spew out words of incoherence. Eventually Trey just shuts the laptop without closing the video.
Trey.Gings T, I can’t take it anymore. I just can’t. Seriously one starters, I made the mistake of following the guy on Twitter and it’s like, like, like the fool is missing ¾ of his brain.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Yeah.
Trey.Gings Then you try to watch the guy wrestle, it’s like he’s making love to a doorknob.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Uh-huh.
Trey.Gings But the piece de-la-fucking resitance, the nigga can’t speak worth shit. My nephew, who’s barely a month old, can form sentences more thought-out than him.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Yup.
Trey.Gings So I ask again, why the fuck are you doing this? As your PR agent…
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ You’re not my PR agent.
Trey.Gings Ok, so as your hypothetical PR agent, this is gonna make you look bad.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Really? Why is that?
Trey.Gings It’s a lose-lose situation. If you win, great, you did what you were supposed to do. You beat Raab, someone who, according to your research, hasn’t won a single match on Asylum. You beat Raab, someone who was the only person on either Overdrive or Asylum to publically admit they were worried about getting drafted to Meltdown.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Yessir.
Trey.Gings And if you lose, well, you lost to Raab. You, the most dangerous man in APW, lost to fucking Stefan Raab, a man without any pride. Look at this:
Trey opens up another tab in his browser and shows TJ this picture, causing TJ to walk out of the kitchen for a moment out of sheer hilarity.

Wednesday February 20th, 2013 2:31 AM
We open the scene in the middle of a dark and narrow street. There is a street light on each end of the block and that’s it. We see off in the background the statue of William Penn on Philadelphia City Hall. We see a dark figure walking along the sidewalk, he is just far enough away from the streetlight to tell who it is, but close enough to know it’s a large man. A beat up Cadillac drives by, the headlights showing it’s TJ. TJ crosses the street and approaches us.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ It takes a man a lot of balls to mock the home of another man while the first man is in said home. For him to speak out and not get his ass kicked, says a lot about that man. For Stefen Raab, it says people see him as a non-threat hater. But that’s not Stefan Raab, no because it takes a different kind of man to not understand why another man represents his home everywhere he goes. To be that man, you need one thing: a lack of pride. And really, is anyone shocked to find out that Stefan has no pride? He lacks skills, a brain, and respect so why would he have pride? See, prior to our match, he’ll probably talk about how he’s filled with pride because he’s called out Jeff for months and months. He’ll probably tell everyone who is unfortunate enough to listen to him that he’s prideful because he holds 5 titles in some company that isn’t APW. And all that which he speaks of, in his delusional mind, is pride. But to everyone else on Planet Earth, that’s vanity. Those are not things to be prideful of. See, because I can call out Jeff the same way he did. But guess what, Jeff ignored him until he left a pile of shit on his doorstep and lit it on fire during the Survive and Conquer match. Until he took a dump on Jeff’s pride, that’s when he pissed him off.
We hear a gun shot in the air, startling us, but TJ is unfazed.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ No, pride is more than having something of yours to be proud of. It’s more than feeling good about something you’re doing. Webster may disagree, but pride isn’t just having a connection to something that is tangible. It’s not being able to point and say “I did that” or “I helped make that” it’s being able to look at something and know that because of you, someone else is doing something. It’s being able to know that you have affected someone so much they changed their life. So if you were expecting me to explain why I’m proud of my city, and defend my explanation, sorry, because I’m not doing that.
TJ stops in next at the corner of the street and holds his arms out as he is backed by a good fifteen to twenty Philadelphians.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ These people will. D’ndre
D’ndre TJ’s proud of Phily ‘cause we don’ back down from an’thang.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Tasha.
Tasha TJ’s proud of Philly ‘cause we care fo each other. We all in dis t’gether. Black, white, old, young. We all come from the city and we all know what it means to be Philly.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Raab, I could go get everyone in this neighborhood and get them to tell you why I’m proud of Philly and you won’t hear a damn thing twice. See, unlike you, when I lose, like I did a little more than a week ago, I don’t fall as hard as someone like you do. Because as long as I gave it my all and didn’t back down from a challenge, my city is proud of me, I made them proud of me. My city is my pride.
TJ turns around and thanks them all and says he’ll be around after he comes back from Calgary. The crowd dissolves as TJ crosses the street.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ But yes, pride can be something that you are proud of, but in many cases, that turns into vanity, petty things to be prideful of. See, where as you are proud of your five titles in whatever second-rate promotion you hold those titles in, I have pride in my one title. Not because it’s a title that others will lean on as vindication of their lives, something that weak men and women will use to give meaning to their lives. No, I have pride in my Tap Out title because it means something more. It doesn’t mean I’m a champion and that I’m better than Julius Farquhar and Williams D Williams Jr. No, what it means is that I’m the most dangerous man in APW. What it means is that I’m a champion for Action Packed Wrestling, the best company going. It means I represent APW wherever I go as a champion, not just a Megastar, but among the best. It means no matter who it is that steps in the ring opposite of me, they’re gonna hit me with everything they have in order to make a statement. That’s an honor I’m happy to have. It’s a burden I’m happy to shoulder. The Tap Out Championship is my pride.
TJ crosses at the light, continuing his walk at night.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ My pride is made of many things, my city, the tap out championship, but nothing holds a place so heavy as respect. Respect is something that you don’t have for anyone nor anyone have for you. Respect is something that one has to earn. When you earn respect, it’s a feeling that you never quite get used to. You call it asskissing, it’s called mutual respect. See because we all do the same thing. We all go out there and put our bodies on the line for whatever our personal reasons are. Be it for money, for passion, for fame, whatever, we all do it. So when you spend your days behind a computer screen calling me or others worthless, say that what we have isn’t earned, it’s disrespectful. You may to give a shit about respect, but I do. Respect is my pride.
TJ stops in the middle of the sidewalk and looks at the houses surrounding him.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ You see Raab, I was gonna make you feel confident going into our match, give you some lift hoping it brought the best out of you, but my better judgment won out. See, they say “do onto others as you would like to be done onto”. You treat everyone like their worthless pieces of shits, so I feel that anything from here that I say, it’s fair game, karma, payback for the countless people that you undercut because YOU deem them unworthy of what they’ve accomplished thus far in their APW careers.
TJ takes a deep breath.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ Stefan Raab is proud of his accomplishments in other feds because there, the competition isn’t as high as APW. He represented another company at Survive and Conquer because he can’t cut it in APW. He attacks people who eliminate him in battle royals because he’s a bitch who can’t take an ass-kicking like a man. Stefan Raab discredits and disrespects other’s accomplishments and opportunities because they get recognized for their abilities in the ring while he is infamous for his abilities on Twitter. He trains at Stardome because he needs help to survive in the ring in APW. He makes President Jeff the target of his hatred because President Jeff hasn’t stepped in the ring for a year. If Raab could have, he would have challenged the ghost of Lou Thez because it would make him look tough.
TJ continues walking.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ All of that is true, whether Raab will admit that or not. That’s why I gave Stefan Raab the chance of a lifetime, more important than President Jeff. With all due respect to Jeff, he’s not a wrestler any more. Sure, it’s like riding a bike, but it’s like riding a bike uphill in the snow. This match is far more important to Stefan Raab’s career than Rasslemania. This is Stefan Raab going against one of the best of his peers. This is Stefan Raab with an advantage over his opponent. This is Stefan Raab’s chance to prove that he has a right to speak, has a right to tweet, and has a right to judge. No one has been able to shut Raab up, until now.
TJ turns right at the corner and continues walking.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ See, I plan on shutting Raab up. I’ll let him fight his little heart out. I’ll let him tweet me to death. I’ll let him think he has me beat. Then I’m gonna hit him harder than he’s ever been hit. He said he’s wanted this match for months because we’re big guys with similar styles. We’re not. I’m a big guy, he’s a slob. He’s seven inches short than me and only fifteen pounds lighter. I’m no body mass index expert, but that tells me he’s border line obese. Our styles are not similar. I’m all power; he’s trying to be smash mouth. He’s wanted this match for months because he thinks that I can bring whatever potential someone told him he has out of him. I tend to do that. I’m aware of that and I welcome that. Keaton told me the reason why I’m a good champion is because I welcome all challengers because I don’t fear them, I respect them. Well, sorry for disappointing you Keaton, I don’t respect The Raabinator nor do I fear The Killerplauze. I pity Stefan Raab. I pity him because he tries his best to be greatness in its truest form. I pity him because he does his best to be nightmares in their physical forms. I pity him because he wants to be “THE SOOOOOOOUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLL OF PHILLY”.
TJ makes another right at a corner.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ I pity Stefan Raab because come Sunday he won’t be able to tweet let alone speak. I’m going to hit him with the Liberty Boot so hard, it cures him of bi-polar. I can’t wait until I beat you Raab. When I become the person that shuts up the loud mouth German, people will thank me. People will revere me as a champion not only of APW but of the 21st century. TIME may just name me Man of the Year right for 2013 right then. Shutting up Stefan Raab will be my pride. See you in Calgary, Stefan
TJ stops at his house and opens the door and closes the door as we fade to black.
The.Soul.Of.Philly TJ It takes a man a lot of balls to mock the home of another man while the first man is in said home. For him to speak out and not get his ass kicked, says a lot about that man.
