The camera slides in and out of focus for a few moments as Jayson Matthews fiddles with the knob. Once he feels the close up shot of himself was completely crisp he takes a few steps back and reveals more of the shot. In the background of this abnormally beautiful Michigan day, you can see Mandi , his sister, and Lauren, his niece, tossing a beach ball back and forth.
Jayson Matthews: “What's up everyone, Jayson here, it's been a rough couple of weeks that's for sure. But now the Danger Zone pay per view is here and I have to say that I'm honored to be scheduled to compete in two matches.”
As Jayson is talking you can see Steve Awesome step out of a sliding door. Steve's nostrils widen as he inhales the fresh crisp air and then he scratches his balls. Steve scans his backyard and that's when he notices Jayson speaking into the camera and he starts heading toward it.
Jayson Matthews: One match being a Man of Steel championship match that I hardly expected to have and in order to make it to that match I have to somehow get through my other match. A tables match versus my very first IWF enemy in Renee Pleasant. And I have to say.....
Jayson rolls up his sleeves, and he pulls up his pants. He spins the baseball cap he was wearing backward.
Jayson Matthews: I DONT WANNA DIE!!!!!!!!
He buries his face into his hands and starts to sob uncontrollably.
Jayson Matthews: I know I said the same thing back at Meta but that was different. Last month Renee was just some guy. This time Renee wants nothing more than to leave me a few inches shorter than I already am. He wants to destroy me, he wants to make sure I can't stand up....and after our last match, I'm sure he is fully capable....
Suddenly, Jayson gets shoved off camera by Steve Awesome who had finally made it over to the camera. Jayson falls hard onto the ground and Steve merely takes his place as the center of attention.
Steve Awesome: Okay folks....listen....I just wanted to take this time out to announce that next week here in my backyard I will be hosting the first annual InFamous backyard BBQ. It's for my homeboys in Infamous. There is plenty of room and money is no option. Robby D bring your friends and family! Spike Kane, bring all the people you care about...Warren Kane.....maybe you can come....if there's room.....but to everyone else invited.....bring your whole family it's gonna be awesome.
Steve flashes that charismatic smile that he's known for.
Steve Awesome: Okay....we can shut this stupid camera off.
But instead of shutting off the camera, Jayson Matthews gets up from the ground and he walks over to Steve and shoves him back.
Jayson Matthews: Hey jerk mountain! You can't just come out here and commandeer my promo time!
Steve gives Jayson an indignant stare.
Steve Awesome: Pfft, yeah like you need it. Your going to die this week. Even if you manage to survive the biker douche, you'll never beat that dick in a mask. Your dead kid, your in way over your head here.
Now Mandi Matthews comes walking over. She was always playing mediator between these two lately.
Mandi Matthews: Steve, can you please not treat my brother that way?
Steve flippantly waves her off with the fingers of his hand.
Steve Awesome: Well it's my place, and I can do whatever I want with him. Why don't you go inside and make something in the kitchen?
Jayson just stands there and watches as his older sister lowers her head in shame and starts to walk inside. Jayson Matthews grits his teeth and he can feel his fists clenching. A wave of anger comes over him so thick and intense he thought he might turn green.
Jayson Matthews: I don't care what you do to me......but you will not talk to my sister like that!
Jayson stands his ground as Steve just smirks back at him. Mandi turns around and tries to stop this argument before it gets bad.
Mandi Matthews: Jayson, no. You don't have to do this. I'm fine.
Jayson shakes his head. He was too fired up to stop now.
Jayson Matthews: Yes, I do! I'm getting real sick and tired of the way this John Stamos wannabe treats you!
Steve's arrogant smirk gives way to a jaw dropped look of surprise.
Jayson Matthews: And another thing! You guys have been engaged for years and yet you still don't even have a date set! Do you actually love my sister or is this just another one of your games? The kind of games you have been playing since I met you!
Jayson takes a step forward and gets in Steve's face. All the times Steve had stepped on him to get himself on top kept running through his head. Steve is taken aback by the outburst and is having a hard time thinking of what to say back.
Jayson Matthews: I used to look up to you man. You used to be my hero. My role model. I never had a dad and you were basically the closest thing to it. Horrible, right? I used to want to grow up and become just like you! And I-
He cuts himself off, a bit unsure if he should say the next thing, but he was so far in, he couldn't stop now. He lowered his head in shame but his knuckles were still turning white.
Jayson Matthews: ….I used to cry myself to sleep at night when I realized I'd never even get close.
The anger and rage began to turn into tears building up in his eyes. He couldn't help it and he didn't care if they were streaming down his face.
Jayson Matthews: But now......but now, I thank my lucky stars every morning that I'm not like you. Because if I were like you...sure I'd have a nice house. Fame. Money. A family that loves me. Respect in the wrestling world. Hall of Fame rings, numerous championship reigns, a badass mustang, hollywood movie roles...uh.....sis.....
He sniffles a bit and glances over toward his sister.
Jayson Matthews: Where exactly was I going with all this?
Mandi Matthews: How you are glad your not Steve Awesome.
Jayson lowers his head.
Jayson Matthews: Kind of painted myself into a corner there.....
He shakes off the distraction and jabs a finger into Steve's chest.
Jayson Matthews: The fact remains, you are a dick. And I hate you...and the only reason I don't try to kick your ass right here and now....”
Jayson glares into Steve's eyes as the movie star struggles to think of his line.
Jayson Matthews: ….is because for some reason that I don't fully understand....
He points at his older sister Mandi who is just silently crying, waiting for the argument to end.
Jayson Matthews: ...my sister loves you.
Jayson throws up the peace sign to Steve Awesome.
Jayson Matthews: So deuces, before I start a shit storm you won't come back from.
Jayson turns around and walks off leaving Steve Awesome speechless in his wake.....
````````````````````
We open up on Jayson Matthews sitting next to what looks like a shallow grave. He looked tired and worn out. A shovel is sticking out of the ground nearby and Jayson's hands were dirty.
“There it is.....”
He points to the rectangular hole in the ground next to him.
“...the grave I'm going to use for this Sunday after Danger Zone.”
He picks himself up into a standing position and starts to admire his work.
“I figured I'd go ahead and dig one since everyone thinks I'm going to wind up in one these this Sunday at Danger Zone anyway. Because this Sunday I go up against Renee oh not so Pleasant in a tables match. In a match guaranteed to hurt somebody and take time off of there career, I have to compete against a man whose career is built off violence. A man that has smashed me at every turn. A man who has threatened my very existence in this company since I got here a month ago. And why?
Jayson shrugs his shoulders, he really wasn't sure.
“I don't know. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm still breathing and enjoying the ability to walk with two legs. Is it because I'm a star wars fan and your a trekkie? Is it because your a big badass on a motorcycle and im a segway kind of guy? Or are you that mad that I took your best shot last month at Metamorphosis and left the arena on my own two feet? What's a matter Renee? This bug just a little too hard to squash?
“And I know, I know how it's going to be already Renee. This isn't some ordinary match, this match has no rules. You can do anything. Hurt me with anything. And I know your fully capable of hurting someone. I know your mad, I know your angry, I know you want me to suffer, to feel the true pain of the rapey gypsy man! And I know every dumb joke I make right now is just adding the fuel to the ass whipping machine that's coming this Sunday. But truth be told Renee I wouldn't want it any other way.
Well that was more of a lie but he hoped Renee believed it.
“I want you to come to Danger Zone and kick my ass Renee. I want you to be that big nasty snarling lone wolf that you always have been and I want you to come to Danger Zone with the mind set of showing me a layer of Hell I haven't been properly introduced too. Because to be quite honest I'm getting sick and tired of running. I'm sick and tired of being scared. I'm ready for this to be over and if that means taking that beating from you to get this thing out of your system then so be it. Beat me up at Danger Zone Renee.....
….make an example out of me.
“but don't expect me to just roll over into this grave. You may finally squash the bug but your going to find out that this bug has a stinger. And claws. And Venom. And dangerous stinky poo gas! I'm like some super cool bug superhero. I call myself Insectoid! Or Bug Man! I mean, what I'm trying to say here is, this Sunday at Danger Zone, Renee Pleasant, you may beat me up pretty bad, but I hope you know that somewhere down the line in our match, I'm going to hurt you back.
And of course IF I manage to make it through that ordeal, I still have that Man of Steel championship match. A match I don't deserve, a match I shouldn't be in. I've lost more matches then I've won here and I haven't even been employed for longer than two months. What was I doing in a title match for ANY championship? I was honored to be considered but one match is enough for me at this pay per view. I was all set to ask if I could be removed from the title match. Give it to someone who deserved it more. I'll earn my way back to another shot......but then I saw who the champion was......
ZASSHU!
He covers his nose and holds up the one minute finger with his free hand. He then pulls out a handful of kleenex and start blowing his nose.
“Oh...erm....sorry about that, anyway, then I saw who the champion was, and I thought that guy is a dick. And then I found out why they had me in the match. They thought that I am “enhancement talent” that I had absolutely no shot of winning and I will just be there to make the champ look good.
Jayson lowers his head and sighs. He looks over at the small grave next to him.
“Just another jerk who thinks I should just save the trouble and lay down in this thing instead of showing up at Danger Zone. And were they banging? What are the ratings here? What was the term they used.....throw away? The man who has struggled for two years is telling me i'm a throw away. That I should just give up now. Well you know what struggle is.....try TEN YEARS! Try struggling, scratching, biting and clawing for ten years to only claim a status in this industry that is laughable at best! To work so hard, for so long to only achieve just enough notoriety for people to know your nobody.
A never was.
He shrugs.
“Maybe my opponents are right? Maybe I am nothing? Maybe I don't have what it takes to make it in this company? Maybe all those years of failing were just signs that I was ignoring? Maybe I should just cut my losses and go home and give up. So the soft core porn guy can get a title defense in the record books. Maybe I should just roll over and die so the alpha male can mark his territory. I guess I'll just give up......
Jayson goes to leave but then he stops as a smile forms on his face.
“...but if I gave up now, then this grave will go to waste.”
He moves a wheelbarrow to reveal a tombstone that reads “here lies Renee Pleasant & Zasshu.”
“Yeah that's right, I dug this grave for my opponents this week because I refuse to give up! I refuse to let this challenge or any challenge scare me away from doing what I love! Because I'm going into Danger Zone with nothing to lose and everything to gain. You see in everyone's eyes I'm supposed to lose. I'm supposed to be the chump. If I lose then who cares? If you lose Zasshu then you become the chump. So I'm coming to win and to force you to put yours and your promiscuous managers foot in your mouth.
He starts bouncing back and forth, as he feels himself getting pumped up for the match
I'm gonna show the world that it's you two bullies who belong in this grave. And I'm going to put the both of you in there nut to butt so you can spoon with each other for all eternity.
He nods his head and rubs his palms together.
Because I'm showing up to Danger Zone. Nothing will stop me from doing that. I'm going to show up to the Century Link Center in Omaha, Nebraska and I'm going to punch Renee Pleasant right in the face. Then I'm going to limp on down to the ring and I'm going to look Zasshu right in the face and I'm going to show him exactly what trash and garbage is made of. I'm going to show you by showing you all exactly what I have! I may be a throw away but I guess that's just the cards I was dealt, but a wise man once said it's not about the cards but how you play your hand. So if i'm a has been or a never was well then I'm going to be....
..The Greatest Never Was There Ever Was!
Put that on a t-shirt.
And this sunday, I'm going to remind the both of you what it is they say about garbage.......
```````````````````
It was dark and Jayson had been gone awhile so Mandi was relieved to see her little brother walk back in the door. She gets up and wraps her arms around him.
Mandi Matthews: Finally your home! I was worried about you.”
Jayson hugs her back.
Jayson Matthews: Thanks but you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. How mad is Steve?
Mandi shrugs.
Mandi Matthews: Well after you left he started laughing and rushed in to tell his buddies about it. So your probably going to get made fun of for awhile.
Jayson mutters under his breath. Definitely not the results he wanted to hear.
Jayson Matthews: Marvelous.
She hugs him again.
Mandi Matthews: If it makes you feel better, I appreciate that you stuck up for me. Steve can be a huge jerk sometimes...
Jayson Matthews: Then why are you still with him? Is it for Lauren? You know I'll help out.
As Jayson is talking you can see Steve coming down the hallway unbeknownst to Jayson or Mandi. He was about to respond to what Jayson just said but then Mandi started talking.
Mandi Matthews: It's not just Lauren. I'm still in love with the old Steve. The man I knew before wrestling or Hollywood ever happened. Somewhere during this long crazy wrestling life we've all lived, Steve has seemed to lose track of who that person was and he became the character.
Awesome just lowered his head.
Mandi Matthews: I guess I just keep holding out for a chance he might remember who that person is.
Jayson puts his arm around his older sister.
Jayson Matthews: Well I got your back no matter what, sis.
She smiles.
Mandi Matthews: Thank you Jayson.
Steve Awesome just shakes his head then turns and walks back down the hallway.
`````````````````````````
We cut back to Jayson standing near the grave for Renee and Zasshu.
“....one man's trash.....is another man's treasure.”
He makes the title belt motion around his waste.
“See you at Danger Zone, boys.”
Fade.
Jayson Matthews: “What's up everyone, Jayson here, it's been a rough couple of weeks that's for sure. But now the Danger Zone pay per view is here and I have to say that I'm honored to be scheduled to compete in two matches.”
