Hello this is Eddie Robertson with Wnju TV Broadcasting news. I'm here with local celebrity, Joe Cool, who is about to begin a brand new venture in his storied career. Joe, you've become a celebrity here due to your wrestling career, plus you run a successful wrestling company. Why get involved in sports car racing?
Well in the wrestling business, I earned a nickname called "The Man Without Fear". That nickname is because I do different things that most guys wouldn't try, for instance, I once did a shooting star press, which is basically this...
The crowd standing around him cheers when he climbs to the top of the car, and does a shooting star off of it landing on his feet.
I did that, from 15 ft feet in the air off of a steel cage. And sometimes I've missed it, but I still keep doing it. That's how I earned my nickname.
But how does that relate to your auto racing?
I'm getting to that. See wrestling is a thrill, possibly the biggest ever, but the events are, well, weekly. I've got far too much time on my hands nowadays, and seeing as how I also run my own company, that's saying something. My life is so good right now and I need to make it better. Auto racing may be this one time only, if I like it it'll be a big part, but I'm trying to find that 3rd thing that I can do to cement my name in history.
So if you win here today we can expect you to race in the future?
Possibly. Maybe not even cars I might do motocross or some sort of extreme sport.
Thank you Mr. Cool, once the race is over we'll be able to provide the clips along with this interview segment in our news program tonight at 10.
My pleasure.
An announcement comes over the speakers saying the race will be starting in 2 minutes. Joe gets inside his car and starts it up and drives it to the starting line. Earlier today he qualified 11th out of 20, so he has a distinct advantage over other racers. He sits in his car only for a moment as the lights go from red to yellow and the drivers start their engines...3..2..1...the light goes green and all racers take off. The race itself is 6 laps.
In the first lap Joe manages to get to 8th place but is passed up and sent back to 9th. In the second lap he barely misses hitting a wall thanks to another driver and he is sent back to 13th place. In the third lap he moves up to 7th place. In the fourth lap he gets caught spinning and is sent back to 11th place, but then manages to get back up to 8th. In the fifth lap he moves up to 5th. Finally in the sixth lap it becomes extremely close, and Joe moves past everyone to finish the race at 3rd!
He parks his car in the winner's circle and recieves the bronze trophy. Eddie Robertson interviews him again.
Wow it was breathtaking to say the least. I can see why so many guys love doing this, I may consider continuing.
You did manage to get the bronze trophy by coming in 3rd, did this come close to your expectations?
It exceeded my expectations. I didn't think I'd do this well. I mean bronze wouldn't be anything to anyone who has been doing this for awhile, even if they managed to qualify 11th. But to me, it's my first time and it's amazing how I've achieved this.
Yes it's certainly a big achievement. Joe Cool, wrestling superstar, ICW owner and now..auto racer. Back to you in the studio.
The interview finishes as the scene fades. We re-open back in a doctor's office just a short time later. Joe and his wife Mandy are inside, and she is getting a sonogram as she just entered her 2nd trimester not too long ago and they are doing a checkup on the baby. A short time later they are back in the waiting room and the doctor steps out with the results.
Well Mr and Mrs. Lee, according to the results you have a healthy baby, and it is a boy.
You hear that Joe, we're having a boy!
Wow....I mean...wow...this is just too crazy.
Is something wrong Mr. Lee?
No no not at all, it's just I'm thrilled.
So am I...a son! Maybe with any luck he'll turn out like his dad!
Haha, some people would disagree. We should celebrate this.
We should! Let's go home and change and we can go out to dinner or a movie or something.
Yeah, let's go.
The scene fades out, and re-opens in the home of Joe. Mandy is showering. He has already done so, but is wearing a tee and shorts, not changed to go out to a dinner yet. He listens to the answering machine which has a message about future racing oppurtunities, a message from one of his employees asking to talk with him soon...and a message from the Aftermath card coordinator, informing him he is main eventing Aftermath, teaming with current champion Jason Warrior against Andrew Crow & The Blue Coral. He hits his hand on the desk in anger.
FUCK! I gotta team with Warrior?! I thought the idiots at LOW knew I don't like that guy! I'd rather team with Coral, or maybe someone talented. Well at least I got a tape of Andrew Crow doing some sort of interview...or something....
Joe watches the tape and is angry and somewhat confused at what he just witnessed. He grabs his camera, which he uses to film self-interviews & sometimes viginettes, and turns it on. Joe is famous for using his camera to rant about whatever is on his mind at the time, and either using the bits and pieces for an interview later on, or just having the tape aired on TV....just something he likes to do to annoy his opponents.
Andrew Crow? This is the same guy who I beat three weeks ago, the same guy who attacked me two weeks ago, and the same guy who I will beat at Aftermath, and any other time I get the chance. And what confuses me most about his little..um..well whatever he had aired on TV, is why would he RIP-OFF such a popular independant motion picture that stars Bill Paxton & Matthew McConaughey? In Crow's little segment, he told us that God told him to kill "demons" and "sinners". Ahem..in Frailty, a man thinks he was visited by God and must go about killing demons. So stop smoking whatever your smoking, because it's certainly NOT tobacco, and it's making you see God and think he wants you to kill Warrior & myself.
While I cannot vouch for Warrior, I can say that even if God HAD talked to you, and he DID tell you this..MY name wouldn't be on the list. I was saved last year thank you. In fact I'd go as far as to say me and Jesus are like this..
Joe interlocks his fingers to symbolize a strong bond of friendship.
But obviously I need not worry. You're just on drugs and are in need of serious MENTAL help. Well I've ranted, I feel better now. Blue Coral? I could care less about you. Same goes for Warrior, just stay out of my way so I can make Andrew Crow one step closer to retirement, and everything will be fine...and Crow...you WILL be one step closer to retirement, if not completely there by the time I've finished with you. But hey, I'm not telling you ANYTHING that you don't already know.
Joe turns off the camera and clasps his hands together in meditative thought as the scene fades out...
