--- Donnovan Midas ---
Tonight was a great night ACE! I felt all the electricity in the air as I was lacing up my boots but man nothing compared me to the reaction I got from all of the fans in the arena. When I stepped between those ropes I knew something special was going to happen but the way the fan reacted gave me goose bumps� I am going to have to give it to Sebastian though, he put up a hell of a fight, I don�t think anyone in that arena actually thought I was going to walk away with the victory but we proved them wrong! Right Kid� Hey did you get Sarah�s number I know you were trying to get close to her while I was fighting Slater�
ACE is slumped on a chair in the corner of the ring with THREE folders in his hands that have the Roughtkut logo on them; he is staring in the air as Donnovan is talking�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Earth to ACE � Come in ACE� Did you get Sarah�s number?
--- ACE ---
Oh .. uh .. What � wait no � no I didn�t get her number�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Hey what the hell is your problem ACE, ever since we left the arena you have been quite and acting like someone died�
Donnovan turns his back to ACE and walks into the bathroom to get a towel and wash up a little bit, ACE stands up and places the folders on the bed�
--- ACE ---
(Speaking Loudly) Don listen we need to talk about what happened at the end of the show tonight�
Donnovan emerges from the bathroom with a towel in his hands wiping his face; he has removed his shirt and walks over to the bed where ACE is standing�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
(Relief in his voice) Oh ACE if that is what has you all bent out of shape then let me alleviate all your concerns� I am not here to pick sides what so ever on this one, if this KUT and WITHROW guy have it out for each other then let them settle it without the good graces of Donnovan Midas on there side� Once you choose a side ACE all you have then is grief from the other side, before you know it they will send somebody to take me out in the next round and I am not here for two guys politics� World Pro Wrestling is safely secured and this tournament is simply about winning for me and that�s all you and I both have to worry about� See do you feel better now?
ACE just puts his head down as Donnovan notices the THREE folders on the bed�
--- ACE ---
No Donnovan I don�t feel better� and you kind of already choose sides�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
ACE where did these folders come from?
ACE walks back over to the chair and sits down on the edge with his hands folded looking extremely nervous�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
ACE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT DOING HERE!
Donnovan picks up the folders and begins to shift thru the paper inside as ACE speaks�
--- ACE ---
Look Don I made a mistake, when we first got here from Chicago and got off the plane I checked you into that Hotel 8 so you could rest and told you that I would go and get the info on the tournament for you�
Donnovan nods his head in agreement�
Well when I got there someone said that they were only giving the info out to the wrestlers themselves and no one else� not managers � not anybody � so when your name got called I told them I was you and they sent me into this room, this voice came on about saving pro wrestling and all that stuff � They asked me to choose so I choose to save pro wrestling and they handed me the first folder and sent me on my way. Now when I was leaving they told me there was a mis-count and that your services would not be need so I came back got you and we went to the airport� Now Don when you got the call to get back into the tournament I can honestly say that the thing about saving pro wrestling hadn�t crossed my mind until the day of the strip club. When I woke up that morning before you got up there was the second envelope under the door talking about the rebel side and joining them� Now Don I know you are not going to go for that so I never called the number�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Yeah well what the hell stopped you from mentioning this thing to me that day when you got the second folder� And don�t tell me that it slipped your mind because I know that is bullshit!
--- ACE ---
No Don it didn�t slip my mind but I didn�t want to tell you because I knew how you would get and I didn�t want to put any more burdens on you then what you already had� You knew you were an underdog and you knew that your chances of beating Sebastian where slim to none so I didn�t want o add on to your troubles�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
And I guess the strips club had nothing to do with it!?!
--- ACE ---
Well I did want to go to the strip club (Laughs)
Donnovan takes the first two folders and tosses them at ACE shutting him up�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
So what you are fucking telling me right now is that I am stuck in the middle of all this bullshit right now and there is basically no turning back from this point�
--- ACE ---
It gets worse Don�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Oh shit my bad it gets worse! Well thank you very much �
--- ACE ---
Open the third folder�
Donnovan slowly opens the third folder with no expression on his face, from the side of the camera you can see that there is a picture placed in the middle of the sheet. We can not tell as of yet who is on the picture but the look on Donnovans face has changed from no expression to a look of shock. He glances at a few sheets and closes the folder placing it on the table and sitting on the bed�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Seamus McArthur!
--- ACE ---
See Don it got worse�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
ACE who is this guy I don�t remember seeing him in the tournament�
--- ACE ---
He fought in the first hour or so, he was up against the painted assassin� Come on Don you remember him he was the one with the huge dragon tattoo on his chest�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Oh shit ACE I saw him in the ring, he is a monster what is he 6�4 6�5 and weighs like a ton� I still haven�t heard of this fed he is in Acadian Wrestling� oh no wonder it is in Canada� He looks familiar ACE�
--- ACE ---
He is Malachi� you remember him � he was the guy who took that legit bump a while back�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
No shit that is not Malachi� Why is he calling himself Seamus McArthur?
--- ACE ---
I don�t know Don but I was talking to his brother Brannon earlier.. You know the one in the wheel chair, and he said that his brother is brain washed by the manager Connor�
There is a brief pause as Donnovan stares at the folder, ACE puts his head down and paces around afraid to say something to Donnovan�
Don listen I think it is about time you consider another option � They might think you can win but they won�t stop sending these guys in front of you� The next round it will be someone bigger and better then the next will be someone bigger and better then that� Don you still have FIVE more round of this tournament� I think you should consider joining the rebel side� This will secure your job and give you a future with five figures�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
Yeah but at what price ACE� My soul � My dignity � My life � What � They will ask me to lose the next round to Seamus � Then they will ask me to leave WpW � Then leave you behind � Is that what you want ACE!
--- ACE ---
You know that is not what I want Don � but it is about time that you start thinking about your family first in this one� What if you do make it pass Seamus McArthur? Then what, they will stop at nothing to ensure that they win this tournament� can you protect your family all the way from Detroit while you are protecting wrestling�. It is about time that you spend some time protecting Donnovan Midas and making sure that you are safe�
Donnovan just sits there looking at ACE as he speaks, there is a huge dilemma going on in the body of Donnovan Midas � His mind is telling him that the rebel side is the secure side but his heart is telling him that the loyalist side is the right side�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
You know what ACE� I would rather work a 9 too 5 job making shit money for the rest of my life then to sell out everyone that is counting on me to save this sport� I say let them bring on whatever they want to� I am ready for them whether it is Seamus McArthur or anyone else I will still be here ready to fight them on� So tell me this, are you with me on this one?
--- ACE ---
You know you don�t even have to ask Don� I am with you to the end�
Donnovan walks over to the dresser and pulls out a shirt to put it on�ACE walks over to the table and picks up the envelope�
--- ACE ---
You have got to love this one also Don� They barely gave any info about him to you� He fought the Painted assassin in the first round, no more info besides that looks like they don�t want you to know too much about this guy�Lucky for you, you have an ACE up your sleeve
--- Donnovan Midas ---
How long have you been waiting to say that line ANTHONY� You can have all the info you want but I am the one who he is going to try to tear head off of�
--- ACE ---
Well at least we still have Paris�
Donnovan looks completely baffled by that comment from ACE�
--- Donnovan Midas ---
What the hell is that suppose to mean?
--- ACE ---
I have no clue � but it sounded good when I saw it in the movie �
Donnovan just smiles at him as the camera fades away�.
