Scene opens in an upscale lounge. Several of New York’s elite are socializing, as well as bragging about their latest achievements and acquisitions. “Superstar” Bobby Bodacious is off to the front of the lounge, near a large section of windows. Looking out, it becomes clear that the lounge is somewhere near the top of a large skyscraper. The people walking on the sidewalks below look like ants from where Bodacious is sitting.
A cocktail waitress comes by and drops off a martini, shaken not stirred. Gambler is following closely behind her.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Nice of you to make it, Gambler. Ma’am, pitcher of Budweiser for my friend here.
Cocktail waitress
Certainly, sir. Anything else?
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
We should be good, for now. What held you up, Gambler?
Gambler
Idiots at the door. Apparently, they couldn’t find my name on their list. Had to argue with them for half an hour before they figured out they were looking at the wrong list.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Only half an hour? That’s the fastest I’ve seen them correct a mistake.
Gambler
Fastest? How long does it usually take?
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Hour and fifteen minutes, on average. I’ve seen them go as long as two hours.
The cocktail waitress brings by the pitcher of Budweiser and a fresh glass for Gambler, who’s pretty quick to start pouring himself a drink.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
You know why I brought you here, don’t you?
Gambler
My match with Kaycee Young, right?
Bodacious nods.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
This is going to be a huge match, Gambler. Not only for you, but for me as well. Beat Kaycee next week and we’re finally in the driver’s seat. Destination: APW Tag Team Championships. We’ve had some big money matches since we joined IWC, getting shots at all three championships. You were in the Survive & Conquer Battle Royal, earlier in the year. We were even in the APW vs. IWC battle royal at Rasslemania.
Now, I need you to understand a few things. This isn’t going to be like many of our previous matches. This isn’t a battle royal, where anyone can sneak up from behind you and get rid of you. This isn’t one of the numerous title matches we’ve been in, where the champs could sneak out of the match with a narrow victory. This match is going to be far tougher then that.
Gambler
Man, ease up a bit. I’ve done some research on Kaycee. I know enough of her track record to realize that she’s been in some hellacious matches. Successfully won the APW Tag Team Championships at Survive and Conquer after the match was restarted, due to a time limit draw. Successfully retained the titles at Rasslemania VII by defeating The Exchange Rate in a Ladder Match. I must add that the Exchange Rate was the former champs, trying to recapture the gold.
Guess you could say that the exchange rate wasn’t all that kind on the former champs, was it? If I didn’t know any better, I would think they were trying to exchange pesos.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
You need to treat Kaycee like a bad gambling debt. I’m sure you remember how it used to be done, back in the day, right?
Gambler
Damn straight. Bust a thumb. Take a baseball bat to her kneecap. Smash that pretty face of hers into a dozen pieces. But, I have to be careful just how far I go with the old-school beating. My old “bosses” used to do a other things if a pretty young woman owed them money, if you catch my drift.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Dirty four-letter word?
Gambler
Pretty much. That’s one line in the sand that even I won’t cross. Besides, I just want to Kaycee bad enough to collect the bigger prize. The ante is small compared to the overall bigger picture. I don’t care if I have to “split” my cards, double down, or even get a little “insurance”. The way I see it, Kaycee has a 50-50 chance of winning. Take into account that you’re going to be in my corner and Brandon is going to be in her corner, she suddenly goes to 25% chance of winning. Add your 25% and I go up to 75%. Multiply by four and my odds shoot up to 300%. Take Kaycee’s 25% and divide by four and she goes down to 6 ¼%.
My victory is already in the bag.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious is sitting at his table, looking dumbfounded by Gambler’s rant.
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Have you been watching Steinermania on Youtube, again?
Gambler
Stein-a-what? Youboob?
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Ugh! Never mind.
Gambler
Have I mentioned that Kaycee has a fat ass?
“Superstar” Bobby Bodacious
Waitress! I’m going to need a few more drinks over here, pronto. I think my buddy may be done.
Gambler
rolls eyes
Like I can’t just drink out of my flask. It’s got top shelf vodka in it. Filled it before arriving here.
Bodacious mutters under his breath as the scene comes to an end.
