The scene opens with a very determined looking Jake Keeton dressed in only a pair of running shoes and some black Nike shorts running through his neighborhood. Jake turns the corner and doesn’t notice a black Cadillac Escalade slowly approaching him. The SUV honks it’s horn but Jake continues his run until the vehicle is right next to him and the window rolls down. Jake takes the ear buds out of his ears and stops and looks over when he notices the waving arm of Julius King who’s driving the Escalade.
Julius: Hey, I been trying to get your attention. I haven’t heard from you since you ran out of the office last night, everything ok with your son?
Jake: Yeah, he was busted for possession of pot, less than ¼ of an ounce so he just had to pay a fine.
Julius looks shocked by this.
Julius: Damn dawg, from the one time I met him last week he didn’t seem like a toker to me.
Jake: Yeah he’s not, he took the rap for a friend.
Julius: Ah, well that’s commendable even if it is a lil dumb. Can you come downtown to my office after you finish your run? I wanted to work on some stuff with you.
Jake: Yeah, lemme run home and get cleaned up.
Julius: AIght, I’ll see ya in a bit. I would offer you a ride but I don’t want that nasty mass of chest hair getting sucked into my vents.
Jake: Hey my wife likes my hairy chest.
They both laugh as Julius pulss off and Jake turns around and starts running in the other direction. The scene fades out and reopens with Julius sitting behind the desk in his office and Jake seated across from him now wearing jeans and an IWF t-shirt.
Jake: So what’s up?
Julius: I wanted to talk to you about this Heir to the Throne thing.
Jake looks confused.
Jake: Oh that, I wasn’t even gonna bring it up. Didn’t figure there was any use since I’m gonna win the Cruiserweight title.
Julius: I like the confidence but it’s always good to have a backup plan, you never know if one of those boys you’re fighting will get lucky.
Jake: I guess you’re right, but I doubt it I’m on top of my game.
Julius: Ok but if you did end up in the Battle Royal, who do you see as your biggest threat? We can focus on them, I’ve made scouting videos on every guy but I figured we could narrow it down to the ones who actually have a shot, ya dig?
Jake nods his head in approval.
Jake: This sounds like a pretty solid idea, you really might turn out to be more of an asset than a hindrance after all.
Julius: I’ll take that as a compliment. So who’s the favorite in your opinion? I don’t mean in the eyes of the fans or the office or the boys in the back, just you.
Jake: Honestly? Cable Arcane is gonna turn some heads and I think he’s a lock to make the Top 8. Cable’s a good guy, we’ve worked together in the past and get along pretty well but I know he wouldn’t hesitate to toss me out if he got the chance. I think if it come down to me and him though, I’m a hair better.
Julius: Cool, cool, we’ll be sure to watch the package I put together on him then. Who else?
Jake: Well Ryan Shane for sure just because I trained the kid, he knows me really well, better than anyone else in the promotion for sure. I’m not sure he’s got his head in the game though so I’m sure I can catch him off guard and toss him.
Julius jots some things down on the pad of paper lying on his desk.
Julius: I didn’t realize you trained him, that’s good to know. That’s two, I wanna shoot for at least 8 so who you got next boss?
Jake: I’ll lump these guys together cause in my opinion they’re gonna come up short in the Heavyweight Scramble and that’s Mike Laszlo and Seth Evans. Xavier Cross is a lock to win the Heavyweight Title in my opinion. The fact that they’ll already have competed earlier in the night will make both of them easy targets but they pose a serious threat to make the top 8 for sure, so would The Ace but he’s not eligible.
Julius: Alright, next?
Jake: I can’t believe I’m saying this but Joe Everyman’s got a damn good chance just because he’s a crafty veteran and he’ll be fresh. Joe knows I’ll kick his ass if it comes down to me and him though so he’ll probably jump over the top rope to get away.
Julius: That sounds like something that Machado cat would do.
Jake: Nah, Machado’s got a set of balls on him lately, to tell you the truth I think both Machado and Bushido are a sure thing to make the top 8 in the Battle Royal and I hope one of them wins it just cause they’re fellow Cruiserweights.
Julius: I caught what Bushido had to say, he seems to think he’s winning the Cruiserweight title so he won’t be in the Battle Royal anyway according to him.
Jake: That belts mine, I’m just doing this to humor you.
Julius: Well keep humoring me, who else there’s 20 some people to choose from.
Jake: Man I don’t even remember who all’s in the thing.
Julius clicks a button and a Power Point displaying all the participants flashes on the screen behind him.
Jake: You’re on the ball.
Jake looks the list up and down.
Jake: Some of these guys probably won’t even have a job after this weekend cause they’ve barely shown their faces, just long enough to come to the ring, get their asses kicked and go home. Oh yeah, that guy Deathtrain is major darkhorse, he’s probably my top pick right next to Cable. He’s a big bad dude and was about to murder Machado before losing his temper. I could see his temper costing him though, but it still might take a couple of guy to toss him.
Julius turns and looks back at the screen and then writes down a few more things.
Julius: I think that should do it, let’s scout these guys and look for weakness.
Jake: Sounds like a plan.
Julius starts playing the videos and point up the screen as the scene fades out.

Well howdy there pardner.
