[Nic Totopoulous is seen sitting down on his couch watching television. He has the UWA United States Championship title belt sitting on his mantle. Just then the phone rings. He reaches to a table next to him where the phone is sitting. He answers the phone.]
Hello?
...
Yes this is he.
...
I'm doing fine thank you. Who is this?
...
Oh alright. How do you do?
...
So what are you calling for? Am I in trouble.
...
Okay good. So what might it be?
...
Right...
...
Really? Give it back?
...
He was waiting there?
...
So I have to meet with him at the head office?
...
Okay then. But why?
...
Oh I see. Fair enough. I'm not happy about it but I'll live.
...
Okay. Thanks for the call before I get into trouble.
...
Alright, bye now.
[Totopoulous hangs up the phone.]
Man what a drag. Stupid Cosmos, he's ruining everything. Although this isn't his fault, he still pisses me off.
[Totopoulous gets up and grabs the belt. He goes to the front door. He puts on a pair of shoes and walks out the door. The scene fades to black.]
later on that day...
[A familiar black Camero pulls into the parking lot of the UWA Towers in New Orleans. (How he got there so fast doesn't matter, here's there alright?). Nic Totopoulous gets out of the car and walks up to the front door. He opens the door and walks in. He walks over to the secretary.]
Totopoulous
- Hello I'm here to see Ron Rose.
Secretary -
Didn't I just call you at home?
Yes.
That was fast.
I know.
Well I don't
think he was expecting you this soon, but I'm sure he'll see you.
Thanks.
It's the second
door on the left.
Alright.
[Totopoulous
walks down the hallway and walks in the second door on the left.
Totopoulous closes the door behind him. President Ron Rose is sitting
at his desk talking on the phone. He puts his finger up to indicate
"just a minute". Totopoulous takes a seat in the guest's chair.]
Ron Rose -
Okay thanks. Bye. Nic, I really didn't expect to see you here
so soon. How'd you do it?
It's a gift.
So you know
why I wanted to see you right?
Yes I do.
Now there is
a rule against this type of thing, you this right?
Well I do now.
You know I'm not particularly happy about this right?
But rules are
rules. Now you know that you left Manning at that bar right?
Ya, and I'm
sorry about that. I didn't get the message.
He had to miss
an event because of it. You know how much he enjoys those events.
He was pretty andry. Besides, we left you a phone message and an
email.
Right...Uh...I
didn't get the message?
Alright fine,
but you're here now, and I see you have.
Yes I am, and
yes I do.
So are you
going to give it to me?
Yes.
[Totopoulous
gets up with his United States Championship title belt. He walks
over to the desk that Rose is sitting behind. He hands Rose the belt.]
Thank you Nic,
you've done the right thing. You really were a great United States
Champion, only the second two time U.S. Champ of all time. I'm sure
that you'll make a fine World Champion.
Well thank
you sir. I'm sure I will too. Make sure the wearer of that
belt is of top quality. I don't want just anyone wearing it.
It really is the final stepping stone to becoming the World Champion.
No Nic.
The final stepping stone is the realization that you have what it takes
to be the best in the business. The realization that you are the
best in the business.
Maybe you're
right. Truthfully I always put on a brave face. I always wanted
everyone to believe that I knew that I am the best in the wrestling world.
But it really wasn't until recently that I knew that I had it. It
wasn't until second time I won the U.S. title that I knew that I was the
best in the world. Beating Reverend Snow, T-Money, and Michael Edwards
in one match made me truly believe that I could do it. That's when
I knew that I was the best. Even when Freedom Morelez beat me, I
still knew that I was the man that would dominate this industry.
I knew that I was the man, and I know that I still am.
I know you
are too. Thanks for dropping off the belt and I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
Oh and Nic,
I like this new attitude of yours.
Don't get used
it. I'm still angry about this. I just figure that putting
up a fuss will only get me a fine and suspended. Being the World
Champ, and knowing that I am the best now gives me full rights to the name
God. And don't you forget it.
Sure thing...God.
[Totopoulous
turns around, opens the door and exits the room. Rose just shakes
his head as the scene fades to black.]
