Scene: St. Louis, Missouri | Local Medical Hospital Time: Thursday, 12.18.03 - 6:15 PM Next Match: Vs. Chris Jericho [World Title #1 Contendership - Singles Match ]
[|. xwfv2 .|] The XWF World Heavyweight Champion... it's this whole entire business is all about. It's what every single Person that steps into that squared circle strives to be.. everybody wants to be the very best, and when you think of the very best.. WORLD CHAMPION sure has it's appeal. But such a task is not an easy one to achieve, oh no.. not by a longshot. Some guys could work their entire wrestling careers, their entire lives trying to get to the very top, others will be there in a matter of Months. But everyone has their different paths, their achievements. And now Two Mens paths will cross, one will go on to Royal Rumble 2004.. the first Pay Per View of The New Year, as well as one of the Biggest. While the other Man is kicked to the curb so to speak, his dreams of a World Title Win escaping him yet again as he's forced to pick up the pieces and restart. We've already seen that these two individuals are capable of something great and I'm sure that they will deliver a performance like no other, come Sunday at Up In Smoke. And they damn well better because already the Royal Rumble is highly anticipated and Up In Smoke hasn't even passed us by yet, go figure. Maybe it's all because everyone knows that Randy Orton isn't going to take this chance lightly.. or that maybe Chris Jericho will find his own way to The Rumble. No matter what, these two aren't going to walk into this match holding anything back, all their cards are on the table and the chance of a lifetime is right in front of them, just within their reach. TWO MEN.. Only ONE, NUMBER ONE CONTENDER.. Who will it be? Wich man will join thirty other men in January of 2004 instead of only one? Up In Smoke draws closer.. you're going to have to wait to find out for yourself. [|. xwfv2 .|]
" So You Want To Be A Superstar.. "
pros·pect (pros'pekt) n. A candidate deemed likely to succeed.
S c e n e: Oddly enough the nothing but a straight, non moving still shot of a Television Screen wich is currently blank right now with static. But shortly after we are given a view of this TV a picture comes into a view. A Picture that looks much like that of a Hospital Lobbys Survelliance Camera in Black and White. The Time and Date positioned properly in the bottom right hand corner shows it to be just about Six PM on the Thursday Night before The XWF Pay Per View weekend. A Lone Nurse (Female) is seated behind the Front Desk, her attention focused only on the computer in front of her as the sound of a Hospital, Beeping, Coughing, etc. etc. surround her. The Ding of an Elevator Door opening is than heard and a man walks up to the desk resting his arms on the counter and looking down at the nurse. That man.. is.. Randy Orton!
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Excuse Me Miss.. I was wondering you could tell me wich Room my Grandparents are in. The last name is Orton.. They were checked in here last week. "
S c e n e: The Nurse doesn't even lift her head to look at Randy.
Nurse Jasmine: " Hmmm... let me think.. Yes, the name sounds awfully familiar.. I think they are on the third floor, in room 201 if I'm not mistakin. It's just to your left when you exit the elevator Mr. Orton.. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Well thank you miss.. you can call me Randy.. as in Randy Orton, The XWF Superstar, Foremer XWF Intercontinental Champion and The Next Man to be World Heavyweight Champion at The Royal Rumble.. "
S c e n e: The Nurse stops her fingers from typing and finally looks Randy in the eyes. She smiles politely and pushes the keyboard aside resting her elbows on the table and putting her hands on her cheeks using them as a headrest to look at Randy innocently.
Nurse Jasmine: " Right I'm Sorry, now I know why the name sounds so familiar. My boyfriend loves Wrestling, he insists on watching you guys everytime you're on TV. He even makes me watch it sometimes.. I've seen you before. " [ She Smiles ]
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " And?.. "
Nurse Jasmine: " And what? Do you expect me to hop over this counter and get on my knees to beg for your Autograph or something? Just because you look good in a Speedo doesn't mean every girl wants you.. Please Mr. RANDY ORTON.. I have a little more class and respect for myself than that. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Speedo? For your information those are wrestling tights and yes I do look good in them. Better than your boyfriend would I'm sure. And better than that Canadian Bum Chris Jericho, who can only dream of looking like me. Can you believe how unlucky Jericho is.. he has to face me when obviously I'm favored in this match like Ten to Negative One. Chris doesn't realize it yet, but it's going to be the beginning of the new year on December Twenty First, not January First. Because the second I am named The Number One Contender to that XWF World Title the beginning of The Year of Randy Orton will be upon every single Superstar in the XWF. Because When you got guys like Chris Jericho running around The XWF, there's no doubt that this world is a much less enjoyable place. Just seeing that guys face gives me a bad day. But what Chris also doesn't realize is that I'm unlike any other XWF Superstar that he's faced before.. I'm one of the Elite. No.. I AM The Elite.. And not only will I be crowned The Number One Contender to The XWF World Title Sunday, I will also prove that I'm Number One.. in every category. And be it Christian, Triple H, or that no good son of a bitch Cactus Jack who wins that title.. even though that's highly unlikely. No matter who is The Champ I will be crowned The Champion at The Royal Rumble. "
Nurse Jasmine: " Well I'm very impressed Randy but I've got some really important work to do here and I have to do it all in less than an Hour, your grandparents are on the third floor, room 201.. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Whoa, Whoa.. hold on nodw Darling.. you wouldn't be trying to get rid of me now would you? Because correct me if I'm wrong but you looked awfully lonely sitting over here behind this big desk all by yourself when I first came in here. Not that I have time for anything other than saying Goodbye to my Grandparents. I have a flight to catch to Toronto in about Two hours and I was just making this a quick visit.. there isn't anyway that you could show me where my Grandparents room is at, is there? I Mean with such a big Hospital like this and me with such a little amount of time to find it in.. I may need someones help that knows there way around the place you know? "
S c e n e: Randy leans forward slightly his eyes wander down to the Nurses legs than back up to her face as she laughs and than lets out a sigh tapping her pencil on the desktop repeatively.
Nurse Jasmine: " You sure are persistant Mr. Orton.. I'm sure a BIG.. TOUGH.. XWF Superstar like yourself can find his own way around a Hospital. Besides, is this not your Hometown? You should know your way around here by now.. and I can't leave this desk until I have this work finished. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Know my way around the Hospital? Listen Nurse.. whatever your name is. Randy Orton doesn't spend much time in Hospitals, nor will he ever. My Opponents on the other hand, well that's a different story. Take Chris Jericho for example.. he'll be checking into The Toronto Hospital shortly after our match at Up In Smoke. And the cloesest I'll ever get to there is waving goodbye to his Ambulance as it drives off into the distance. "
Nurse Jasmine: " I'll tell you what Randy.. I need a break so I guess I could take a few minutes away to show you to your Grandparents room. Follow me and be careful not to get.. "Lost". "
S c e n e: She laughs as she stands up out of her seat and walks out from behind the counter. Randy gestures for her to lead the way (Ladies First) and she nods in thanks and they both head towards the elevator. The Camera Scene chances for us from that of the camera in the lobby, to the camera in the elevator. Randy fixes the button on his shirt as The Nurse tucks her hands in her pockets and leans up against the wall.
Nurse Jasmine: " So Mr. XWF Superstar, why did you wait until the last minute to come here, aren't you supposed to be at the airport a couple of hours early, just in case? "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Yeah but that doesn't apply when flying to Canada. Who the hell wants to visit that place anyways? Any country that harbors a disgrace to all of mankind like Chris Jericho should be bombed or something. Just like Canada, Chris Jericho will come up empty handed when it comes down to taking care of business.. Randy Orton knows what he's doing. I know how to deal with the competition. Chris Jericho wants to be Number One? Chris Jericho wants to take this opportunity away from me? I Don't think so Babe.. Chris will be Number One Alright. He'll be Number one picked out of the hat of names of men who are inducted into the 2004 Royal Rumble. Because it will be me who is in The Main Event World Title Shot, Chris will have to test his luck elsewhere. "
Nurse Jasmine: " That's a shame.. so I take it this Chris fellow and yourself don't get along? And if I remember correctly, didn't you have a Girlfriend with you? I Could've sworn I saw you with a girl on The Tevevision. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Who the Blonde? We're just friends.. she's around for support. Not that I need any type of support, I can handle things perfectly fine by myself, as I've proved in the past on numerous occasions. But it's just nice to have someone there to talk too you know? Someone to speak with after a match, or someone to hold your Brand New XWF World Title when January comes rolling around if you catch my drift. Sunday Night in The Air Canada Center Chris Jericho is going to recognize the harsh reality that I take this World Title business very seriously. I Don't have time to run around in Malls visting Santa Clause or stalking peoples Girlfriends. Randy Orton is on his way to becoming the next XWF World Champion at The Royal Rumble and there is nothing he can do to stop me. "
S c e n e: DING.. The Elevator Door swings open and Randy with his Nurse Tour Guide step out and into the hallway as the Camera View changes yet again back to the hallway survelliance, turning left down the row of rooms The Nurse pulls her hair back and puts it up in a Pig tail as she is greeted by some of the other Hospital Faculty, Nurses and Doctors alike and continues walking Randy in the direction of his Grandparents Room.
Nurse Jasmine: " Well I'm sure that you will do just fine Randy. I mean I saw that match you had with Cactus Jack and you were doing simply amazing until that Triple H fellow came in and intervined. I wasn't much a fan of wrestling just because of all the cheating that goes on.. I'm more into official sports. You know, the type that have rules. "
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Yeah well Triple H and Cactus Jack can have that affect on people. They can make people hate The XWF and not even want to watch it. I Know I don't pride myself on the fact that I know I'm on the same Roster as a fat slob like Cactus Jack. Or a Crook the likes of Triple H. That's why everytime that I step into that ring I try and bring some respect back to this business. I Show people what a true athlete is all about, and that cheating can only get you so far. You also need the talent and the looks to get places in this world.. and I've got the whole damn package. "
S c e n e: The Nurse stops in front of the door with the Numbers "201" on it. She takes her hands out from her pockets and extends her hand to Randy, signalling for a friendly handshake. Randy looks at her puzzled.
Nurse Jasmine: " Here is your Grandparents Room right here.. I hope I helped you enough and that you have a safe match come Sunday, don't get too hurt. And if there is anything you need, anything at all.. you know where to find me. "
S c e n e: Randy shakes her hand feeling her slip something into his palm.
'tha prospekt' -+- Randy Orton: " Well thank you Miss, But you have no need for alarm, no need to worry because this Sunday Night at Up In Smoke I will walk out of this match with Chris Jericho, unharmed, unmatched, and without a scratch. Chris Jericho might as well be at ringside with his little pal Christian in the Main Event Sunday, because that's the closest he will ever get to being World Champion. That I promise you. And if Triple H and Cactus Jack think they've seen the last of Randy Orton.. they're dead wrong. I will make my presence felt in Toronto, Ontario Canada.. one that will NEVER be forgotten. "
[|. xwfv2 .|]The Nurse Smiles at Randy and decides to give him a Kiss on the cheek as she walks off back down the hall way and back in the direction of the Elevator. Randy looks into his hand where a piece of paper and a phone number are and laughs to himself. How the hell does Randy do it? There isn't a women alive he can't seduce. Now Lets hope for Randys sake.. that his matches start going in his favor as well and this losing streak comes to an abrupt end.. [|. xwfv2 .|]
