A legend is reality so enlarged by imagination that, eventually, the image becomes reality.

Emergency Meeting

The clock is at 08:23AM, and the TnT headquarters in Chicago grounds are being overcrowded by journalists and reporters looking to get a comment from TnT Wrestling about the death of Jonny Fly. Many men begin to enter the building, all wearing grey suits and briefcases, and the reporters attempt to surround them and ask them about the tragic death. One of them men turns towards the reporters, and begins to speak to the surrounding press.

TnT Wrestling lost an icon the day that he was tragically killed. We express our sympathy for the friends and family of Jonny Fly, may he rest in peace.

One of the reporters speaks up loudly to the man.

Are you taking any action against Nicky Mills regarding his latest wrestling promo?

I cannot go into that, but TnT Wrestling believes that superstars should share their opinions in wrestling promos. We are very strict against racism but I cannot say whether he will be punished or not.

The man walks directly into the building, ignoring other questions from the press as the scene fades to black.

Many smartly dressed men sit around a long rectangular table as TnT owner Marcel sits on one end of the table. The atmosphere is very casual as the businessmen murmur between themselves, as the owner of TnT slowly sips his coffee. This looks to be a TnT business-meeting, as many of the men are heard discussing the tragic death of Jonny Fly. Marcel finally breaks the murmuring and stands up, shuffling a few papers in front of him before speaking to the group of men. As he begins to speak, the empty chairs are filled by three businesswomen, who excuse their lateness and sit in their seats. Marcel clears his throat as he begins to speak.

Gentlemen my name is Marcel and I am owner of TnT Wrestling. We have had quite a week this week. Not only has one of our superstars died in a tragedy, but we have one of our superstars attempting to stir up trouble, not only by using racism, but showing no regard for Jonny's death. His behaviour at the memorial was absolutely disgusting. At least our other superstars aren't so against authority, but Nicky just doesn't care, and he proved it when he came out with that racist outburst. I would like to know your opinions and whether I should take any action.

The businessmen and women begin to murmur again as one of the women, a long haired brunette, stands up and addresses the group.

My name is Julia Thompson, chief of TnT Talent Relations. I agree with Marcel, that we have had quite a week regarding our company. However, losing one of our top superstars who does indeed have drawing power, would prove disastrous for the company.

 One of the men quickly clears his throat and stands up, looking directly at the woman.

That's easy for you to say, but we have been bombarded by complaints about his behaviour, and I for one was offended. He may be one of our best superstars, but he's causing trouble just after a tragedy has occured.

But people want to see him. He is indeed, one of our biggest heels on the roster. Ratings are rocketing to the top! Our black community has taken offence, but what you must understand is that he was talking about Cortez and Kalibur, and not to the people themselves.

A man sitting closest to Marcel interrupts Julia Thompson.

My name is Gregory Walters, and I am the head of TnT Merchandising. Our sales have risen for Mills's merchandise. People want to see him get his ass kicked week in week out! It just shows how much they hate him.

As one of the board members, I believe his large salary is to blame. Maybe we should suspend him for his racist outburst.

I cant do that. I pay him too much just to suspend him like that. I believe it is frustration from his opening match, as we've had a few problems with writing this week. One of our head writers is off sick, and well, the other's gone away for the week. Therefore, we booked four matches. Nicky was angry because he believes that he shouldnt be in the opening match.

And indeed, he feels the Television championship is beneath him. Fining him would make him think he was being treated badly.

But everybody else goes along with it. Nicky is just complaining.

Suspending him would only lower our ratings. We need the top superstars, and now that Jonny's gone, we have to pull out all the stops.

I think we should let this go for the moment. I'll warn him not to do that again, and if he ignores it, I'll fine him $100,000 dollars. Gentlemen, if you excuse me, I have a press conference to go to.

The businessmen and women all stand and begin to walk out of the room, as the scene slowly fades to black.

The scene reopens as the camera is looking at the Tennessee mansion of the Hollywood Icon and the Wrestling Legend, 'The Outlaw' Nicky Mills. Staring at the large black gates, the camera is allowed to go through and the camera and Cole Matthews drive up to the outside of the mansion. Three large bodyguards stand and they nod as they walk up to the TnT employee's and search them from top to bottom.

This one's clean.

Send them in. He's sitting in the pool area.

Cole is escorted to the large pool area, where The Technical Wonder, 'The Outlaw' Nicky Mills is lying next to the pool area with a glass of cold whiskey. He is topless and only wearing a pair of shorts, and a pair of black shades. One of the bodyguards alerts him of the arrivals.

Mr Mills, a cameraman and Cole Matthews are here to discuss your match. I've searched them, and they're both clean.

Nicky sits up, and smiles as he takes a sip of his whiskey and then turns to the bodyguard.

Good work. Cole, are you paid to stalk people?

I'm paid to interview people. Mills, Cortez responded to your promo.

I know. Hilarious, huh?

Now, this Sunday night, you are in the opening match for an opportunity at the Television championship. You are in a battle royal with Mike Williams, Dante, Mike Wilson and your arch nemesis Jeremy Cundiff. You were also reprimanded for a racist remark you made in your last promo. How do you feel about that?

How the fuck do you think I feel, asshole? Marcel calls me and says "Dont ever say anything like that again otherwise I'll fine you." He is a stupid little bitch. I can say what the hell I like when I like, and I can do whatever I want. Marcel isnt the boss of 'The Outlaw', Nicky Mills is the boss of him.

How are you feeling going into this battle royal?

I deserve to be in a better match. Cortez just hangs onto X Kalibur's coat-tails, and that's why he is in the main event. His promo consisted of 'Ah nigger, yo yo, I'm a wannabe gangster who sucks dick'. Cortez, first of all, you haven't beaten anybody. You didn't even win the TV title! Your a joke, Cortez Prodigy, and you think I'm jealous of a disgrace? You have the same attitude of Rollin Thunder. And please, your not a gangster, your someone who copies Kalibur. I mean, I've seen many Ghetto Bitches, and X Kalibur is probably the ONLY guy who has any credibility. You on the other hand, have none. You whine and talk about me being a under-carder, where you yourself couldn't get anywhere in UwA. The best you were facing was, who? Q-Ball, was it? Drivlaine knows talent, and he didn't exactly see you as 'ground-breaking'. Wake up and smell the coffee, Cortez! Your a wannabe gangster who cant speak properly. 'Oh foo, nobody aint beat ma nigga ass, even though I couldn't win da TV title.' Please, that title is beneath me. You got into the main event because you picked a fight with Rollin Thunder, and not because you earned it.

I'll answer your question which was "Yo nigga, Is dat why you call yourself a legend? A legend of da lowcard rankings?" Cortez, you really outdid yourself there. I have ruled Hollywood, and I have ruled Wrestling. I am a household name, while you are here because Drivlaine got sick of you and shipped you off to TnT, where Marcel took pity on you and took you in.. You want to try out-talk me? Let me burst your ego bubble for you. You are a disgrace to TnT Wrestling. You have no talent, and you cant speak. You add nigga to every sentence, and you only got your main event match because you interrupted Thunder. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL EVER GET A MAIN EVENT MATCH! While I paid my dues and trained hard, you whined your way into matches.

 Your just like Freedom Morelez, all talk and no bite. You talk like you mean something, and yet Cortez, you fucking suck, not only as a wrestler, but cutting a promo too. I couldn't understand you, you talk like your in a mental hospital. 'Nigga nigga, you aint nuttin but a bitch ass mofo.' You disgust me! Go back to UwA, because in TnT, you have to earn your way, not kiss people's asses for main event matches. Oh and Cortez, if people don't pay to see me, why am I living a swanky lifestyle, while you probably live in the ghetto talking about popping a cap in somebody's ass, when your as threatening as Jesse Westcoat? What you also forget is that I already have a Eurasian title shot in line, so you can wait in line instead of trying to get a shot by talking crap to get your shot.

Oh, I'm sick of talking about Cortez and his constant whining promo's. This week, I face possibly the worse contenders I have ever faced. Dante, Mike Wilson, Mike Williams, and Jeremy Cundiff. I don't want the Television title, and yet Marcel puts me in that match, for whatever reason. Wilson just talked about the Bible and then guaranteed his victory, while Williams was a little more understanding about the match.  Why does Marcel waste my time? I tell you what, I'll win the battle royal, and then I'll walk into the main event and take down Rollin Thunder, and at the same time, show Cortez Prodigy how weak he is compared to the Technical Wonder himself. I don't need that Television title, but just for the sake of it, I'll win that battle royal and beat whoever they put up against me for it, whether it's Devil Asyerium, whether it's the Pokemon loving Jesse Westcoat, or Deadman. I should be taking that belt off Thunder, and now because of Cortez's ass kissing, he's in the main event. TnT is over-run with ghetto whining wannabe gangsters.

I just happened to watch Dante's confusing promo, which he talked about me getting my ass kicked. Oh please, that's as likely as Cortez Prodigy changing his gimmick. He says because he's faced Fly, that he can beat me. I mean, I have faced Nic Totopolous, Michael Edwards, Rubeus Dahrkov, Minds Eye, but that doesn't make me automatically available to beat your ass, does it? Watching Dante is like having to endure a Big Boss promo, which consisted of 'Hmph!' and 'Seee!' every two seconds.  I've already beaten Dante for my Eurasian championship title shot, so what difference will it make now I'll eliminate Cundiff and Dante, and the rest of these nobodies. This battle royal will be the Mills royal, because their goals will be to eliminate the Hollywood Icon and the Wrestling Legend, and that will be a losing task for all the men in this match. I haven't even heard from Cundiff since he lost his World title shot. I bet he's smoking his weed to ease the pain of loss, since he doesn't do anything else in life.

Mayhem will be the beginning of an era which will shake TnT Wrestling to it's very core, and that era will be 'The Outlaw's new beginning.

Nicky turns away from the camera and Cole makes a 'cut-throat' sign to the camera as the scene slowly fades to the TnT logo, and finally to black.
