(The scene opens up and we see TJ Alexander dressed in casual street clothes, standing in his hotel room, looking out of the window.)
“When I signed with IWF I thought I would be integrated into the roster and used correctly, but since I’ve been here I have had nothing but one good match and that was with Wraith for the World TV title, every other match I’ve had has been fodder, I need something to get my teeth in, I need something to really grab hold and use my creativity and yet once again I’m in a triple threat match this week with Ace Sky and Travis Levitt. Now I know when you sign with a company that you have to earn your place, and that’s all good and everything but I’ve done enough elsewhere to know I’m better than half of the roster in IWF. And I’m damn sure better than my opponents this week.”

“Ace Sky I’ve said this before and I do not want to keep repeating myself, but it seems anywhere I go, you seem to follow, but nether less, I’ll say it again, you were an idol, you were an inspiration, you were a creative genius inside the ring, and you were amazing, but right now what you really are is sad and pathetic, because when you have lived a life of highs like you and won mostly everything you should be sitting comfortable in your retirement age, somewhere reminiscing about the glory days instead your putting your name next to the marquee like me, and you’re hoping to do what exactly? Because it sure isn’t beating me, not here in IWF or anywhere else we may be in. But Ace I’ll give you credit where it’s due, you were something important but the keyword there was WERE, and once we meet in the ring this week you’ll see that I am already surpassing you.“
(TJ smiles)
“And Ace I’m just hoping one day you’ll realise something before it’s too late, I hope that someday soon, you will retire. You will hang up your boots and leave them in the ring, because at some point Ace, you’ll realise that you can’t go with someone like me in the ring anymore, that you’ve lost a step, that you’ve had your best days behind you, and that Ace Sky I am better than you.“
(TJ pauses)
“And then I’ll meet another veteran in the ring in Travis Levitt, who calls himself the dragon, I’m sure this is our first meet and all but I’m not impressed by you Travis, not one bit. You see I’ve looked at your career and it’s been a turbulent one hasn’t it, with the very long list of injuries you have sustained over the years has been a problem for you, but for me it’s gonna make my win easier. It’s gonna be an easy week beating two veterans in the ring, and Travis I’m gonna tell you right now that I’m gonna target your shoulders and knees. I am gonna give you a heads up, and believe me when I say this, that you will also be following Ace Sky to the retirement home, that you might actually get there before he does, and Travis I know that you’re a little bit more stubborn than he is, but do yourself a favour and don’t listen to what your gut says.”
(TJ pauses)
“Listen to what your head says and it should say that your time in the wrestling business is over now, let the younger talent gain their chances, and have the opportunities, listen to your head and maybe you’d walk out of this match still walking. Maybe I’d show a little mercy on you and let you walk out of this match, maybe I’ll show mercy on you and I won’t dislocate your shoulders far enough for them not to be repaired, and maybe I’ll just pin you when I see fit. But Travis Levitt, I am walking out this triple threat match as the winner, believe that.”
(TJ pauses)
“And management I need more.”
