" You Know The Date, You Know The Time. "

[[ Days after the arrival of Val Venis and he's already making quite the impression. The cameras begin rolling along the streets of Gainesville, Georgia which concequently is AJ Styles hometown. There's a slight breeze blowing from left to right. Rubbish and leaves being blown around the surface is basically all that can be heard. Few people can be seen; occasionally, vehicles pass by - but you get the point. There's not an incredible amount of noise. Standing on the corner of the street are two familiar faces; Val Venis and Molly. Val is seemingly out of his comfort zone, where as Molly appears to be focused in what she's doing. ]]

Val Venis: " What's the reasoning behind this? "

Molly: " If you haven't noticed, Val, Gainesville is AJ Styles' hometown. "

Val Venis: " ..And? "

Molly: " Take a look around. There's not much of this place, is there? It's rather empty. It's the perfect place to examine AJ. If you know where he's come from, you can make a judgment of where he's going. Clearly - that's not too far. "

[[ Venis nods his head in agreement. School girl giggling catches Val's attention, as the camera pans to the left of screen to view three attractive women walking side by side. ]]

Molly: " Val .. remember what I told you back in the hotel? "

Val Venis: " Huh? Oh, yeah .. right Molly. "

[[ The giggling girls pass Val and Molly, not taking any notice of them. Val bites his lip and looks each one up and down with an eager expression. ]]

Val Venis: " My god .. those fresh buns -- "

[[ He stops and looks at Molly. ]]

Val Venis: " You were saying? "

Molly: " Think about it. This town IS nothing. AJ Styles .. is nothing. Doesn't that give you any material to work off? "

Val Venis: " You know somethin' Molly, you need to relax. What you need ... is the Big Valbowski TREATMENT! HA-ha! "

Molly: " No. What I NEED is for you to concentrate on your match, Val. "

[[ Molly shakes her head and walks away. Venis sighs, stroakes his chin, and watches on. ]]

Val Venis: " Molly, Molly, Molly. She's playing hard to get. Heh. She'll crack soon .. 'cause there ain't a heart that won't melt to the Venis Charm. "

[[ Silence. He's not even going after her? ]]

Val Venis: " AJ - you've yet to show your face. Don't get me wrong, The Big Valbowski and The LADIES aren't exactly .. "anticipating" .. your showing .. ha-ha .. but what you're proving is that it's not in your interests to turn up at Conflict. By all means - do. The Valbowski has been out of action for FAR too long .. should you disappoint and not turn up .. that would make The Big Valbowski mad. And you DON'T want to have to do that, kid, 'cause when you upset Val Venis - you upset The Ladies. And when you do that, AJ, it's gonna lead you to one HELL of a beating. If that means I have to knock on EVERY single door in this hellhole, I will. Not because I want to - but because a point MUST be made to you, to Molly, and to the rest of the watching world. Be aware; be VERY aware .. because The Big Valbowski .. is ON .. the RISE! "

[[ Venis laughs and winks at the camera. He looks back up in the direction that Molly is, where she can be still seen walking. ]]

Val Venis: " You know somethin' AJ, Molly's right. Your hometown is nothing, and it resembles what you are. Your claim to be Phenomenal will be put to rest this Wednesday Night when you step foot in a ring you don't belong. Do have yourself an entertaining day .. because god knows .. you've got many hours of suffering awaiting you. Ha-ha. (He Pauses) You'll succumb to the Money Shot - everyone has - and you WON'T be an exception because I refuse to let a peasant like you slide. Wednesday Night, AJ. Conflict. You know the date. You know the time. And you know .. that you've got Venis ENVY! "

[[ Silence. ]]

Val Venis: " Don't you go denying it either, boy. It's a way of life - there's no two ways about it. "

[[ And with that ... we fade to black. ]]
