THE ART OF WAR
(The scene opens up inside what appears to be an empty art classroom at an unknown institution. We see
Scott "The Boy" Hellings sitting down at an easel, painting away at a canvas that is obscured by the camera.)
HELLINGS-
"I know what you're thinking right now: you're wondering what I'm doing in an art studio. It's simple really; you see I'm here to help prove a point. And I know that sometimes a visual aid can be more effective, so I felt this was only natural. Besides, I feel very at home in an art studio, since this body of mine is a work of art in itself. Look at this sculpted physique of mine, it was practically chiseled out of stone by the gods themselves! But I'm here to do some talking, not to smile for the camera. You see I'm here to help paint everyone a picture of what to expect. I'm here to help paint a picture of the new landscape of New Era Wrestling, Rampage World Wrestling, or whatever else it wants to call itself these days. I tell ya, there are some heavily medicated people out there will less of an identity crisis issue than this company. Are we NEW or are we RWW? Who cares? Does it matter who leads what team, who has turned sides, or who will even win? No, of course not. Not from where I'm sitting anyway.
RWW is already dead as far as I'm concerned, but if they want sign my cheques each month then more power to them. Besides, to me this company should not be all about groups, it should focus on individuals. And I specifically mean individuals who are ready to really break through and grab a hold of that spotlight and never let go. More to the point, I'm talking about myself. That is what everyone needs to understand here: I don't care which side you are on, nor do I care what your alliances are. All I know is that if you get into that ring with me I can promise you that you will lose. It won't take me too long to become the most dominant force here either. Why, I'd go as far as to say that in a matter of mere months I'll be as much a household name as Black & Decker or Whirpool. You see Bob Dylan wrote that the times, they are a-changin'. And that has never been more true than now. You RWW zealots can have your memories of the past, you can keep reminsece about the good old days all you want-you just can't do it on my time. This really is a New Era for New Era Wrestling, and it will be led by me! Yesterday belonged to you, but The Now belongs to The Boy! And that, my friends, is why I am here in this studio, so that I can paint a picture of what the new landscape of New Era/Rampage World Wrestling will soon look like."
(The Boy grabs his brush and dips it into some gold paint.)
HELLINGS-
"This is an appropriate colour choice, because the path to my inevitable success is paved in gold. No, I'm not off to see the wizard, I'm going to start collecting titles and accolades very, very soon. And it all starts at BloodZone with Kevin Cosmos, the man who tried to take me out last week. Naturally, he failed to get the job done. Cosmos getting humiliated by me could not have been
a surprise to anyone. After all, Kevin was basically the third-string quarterback for a losing team; no one expects
him to play but when he is actually given the ball he drops it. Now because of his ineptitude he must face me in a singles match, which is
no easy task for someone as inferior as Kevin Cosmos. He has no idea what he is getting himself into because I know that not only does he not match my skills, he is simply
not as experienced as I am. That's why if I were to paint Kevin Cosmos into my little picture here, I would choose to colour him green. Well after BloodZone you won't be green anymore Kevin, you'll be black and blue.
Of course it doesn't really matter anyway because Kevin Cosmos really won't be a factor in the landscape of this company's future. How can it? Now Rob Gamble and his RWW buddies are not backing Cosmos up anymore. Who will be there to watch your back Kev? The answer is no one. Once I'm done embarrassing you the name Kevin Cosmos will soon be
all but forgotten, you'll just disappear. That's why some people like to call me The Bermuda Triangle of Wrestling-because once people face me in the ring their careers just vanish into thin air. Enjoy your time in the limelight
while you still can, because soon it will be forgotten. I almost feel sorry for you Kevin Cosmos, I really do. It's not your fault you couldn't put me away
on last week's BloodZone. I mean, who could? We all know that I am The Boy and that means I am The Best! If anything, Rob Gamble should have rewarded you for lasting as long as you did. Instead though, he decides to make you his Sacrificial Lamb.
That's really not fair, is it? Don't worry Kev, I'll try to make it as fast and as painless as possible. I just hope you didn't quit your day job because this wrestling thing just isn't working out for you and it is about to come to a grinding halt at
BloodZone. Hopefully you have something to fall back on. Even if you don't you could always sell t-shirts that say 'I got beat by Scott Hellings and All I Got was This Lousy Shirt.' I'm sorry if you thought you were going to win this thing Kev, but you won't. I don't mean to be harsh, but I like to live in a little world called Reality. You are about to find out why they call me The Dream Crusher!
Truth is though, I simply have no empathy for you, I do not feel sorry for you Kevin. I can't! If I felt sorry for everyone I beat I'd be a very depressed man. Instead of focusing on whom I've beaten though, I opt to zero in on my future. It's not about where I've been, it's about
where I'm heading. It's a concept that more people around should adopt. That brings me to you Rob Gamble..."
(The Boy pauses a moment to look at his painting, attempting to visualize what he has to do next before picking up his brush and continuing. He begins to speak once again.)
HELLINGS-
"You see I learned long ago that Rob Gamble is trouble. No, I don't mean I'm worried
that he can somehow destroy me-because he can't-I mean that the closer you get to him, the better the
chance of getting burned. Rob is not a loyal person because he simply does not care about anyone other than Rob Gamble.
His name is Rob GAMBLE people! And that is exactly what aligning one's self
with him is-a gamble. He runs his mouth about how I have
dug my own grave, yet I know he can't touch me. He will never be able to stop me! You have the audacity to say that the RWW I once knew never worked because of people like me who thought they were everything? First of all, let me explain something to you: in case you've been living in the gutter for a few years my name is Scott Hellings and I am the one and ONLY UBERstar! You're damn right I think I'm everything because I KNOW I am! When you're this good you're allowed to be a little bit egotistical dammit. Secondly...Rob, do you remember RWW? Do you remember what you were like back then? It's a lot similar to the way you act these days and that, of course, is like a total prick. You couldn't handle the fact that I didn't want to be your best friend, and that I didn't want to help you out, so now you're trying to destroy me!
If you ask me, that sounds like you've got issues buddy. I mean, you couldn't handle the fact that someone out there wouldn't want to be associated with the (making quotation marks with his fingers) 'great' Rob Gamble that you had to throw a tantrum and do everything in your power to get your way. Instead of being mature and respecting my personal and professional decision, you had to send your goons after me because you were not satisfied. Is that reason that RWW failed once before Rob and-SPOILER ALERT-why it will fail once again. I know it, you know it, the whole damn world knows it! Besides, this is all a moot point anyway since I am not
his enemy right now. Oh, I'm far from being his ally, but I am definitely not his enemy. I told that thick-skulled moron that I am
NOT getting involved in this little war of his. I don't care who wins! Even if that means Rob Gamble himself wins! If you win Rob, I promise I'll buy you a congratulatory fruit basket, but that's where it ends because I refuse to have anything to do with you or anything your name is attached to. You need to understand that you really do not need to worry about me because I'm not here to destroy you. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy squashing you like the bug you are, but you're simply not worth my time. So should he really being spending his time and resources to
bother with me? Of course not! Focus on the threat at hand Rob, and that threat is not named Scott Hellings. Not now anyway.
Take some friendly advice Robbie: you do not want to get involved with me anyway. Oh I might not be able to win against you simply because I'm outnumbered and what would most assuredly be stacked odds against me, but at least I won't go down without a fight. I promise you this Rob-get in my way
and I will ruin you! If I go down I will make damn sure to take you to hell with me pal! And no one should know that better than you! Don't take your war
to a second front because that NEVER works! So my advice to you would be to go on and do your own thing for now and I'll mind my own business like I wanted
in the first place. Maybe our paths will cross again later, maybe they won't. But I'm telling you right now that fighting me is the worst thing that you can do because it will be the beginning
of the end of Rob Gamble."
(The Boy puts on the finishing touches and then sets his brush down and begins to wipe his hands on a nearby cloth)
HELLINGS-
"Kevin Cosmos will soon find out that I am every bit as good as I say I am. He will have to learn the hard way, but it's unfortunately the only way. Kevin Cosmos is a nobody now and he'll be less than that when I'm done with him. If he was smart, he'd forfeit the match, but I suppose anyone who bothers to align their self with Rob Gamble in the first place has to be a few bricks short of a load anyway. See what Kevin Cosmos and everyone else around here will have to learn is that the winds of change are blowing, there is to be a changing of the guard. Before you know it, the entire company will be represented by one single image..."
(The Boy turns his picture around and to reveal a portrait of himself, wearing the World Title around his waist.)
HELLINGS-
"That?s right-I can being to establish myself as the marquee player, the franchise savior, and the number one money maker! A picture really is worth a thousand words, isn't it? You could spend all day coming up with words like 'great' and other synonyms for what this picture depicts, but no matter what you call it, no matter how describe it, it all defines one thing: champion. That is what I am destined to become. When I set my mind on something I will succeed. This week at BloodZone I am forced to smart small, I am forced to face off against the inconsequential Kevin Cosmos and the foregone conclusion is, naturally, that I will win. Hopefully after this week I'll move on to bigger and better things though. Heck, SOMEONE in this company has to be able to move forward! So get prepared to put a little tick under your losses column Kev, because I promise you no matter how hard you try I will still beat you. Why? Because I want to, because I can!
(The Boy leaves his painting behind as he walks off. The camera slowly zooms in on the painting before finally fading to black.)
