The scene opens inside the empty US Airways Center. Everything is silent but on Thursday there will be over 15,000 AWR fans in the building. The vast majority of those will be Jay Swift fans hoping to cheer the hometown hero to his first AWR PPV victory. Many will be hoping to cheer Fa Sho to a successful World title defense. It can be assumed that none are fans of the man sitting in the centre of the ring...Rusty Axel.
Rusty Axel-"I've asked the pyromaniacs to take a break so I can cut a promo without having my damn eardrums explode. There would have damn sure been some fireworks had they asked my old buddy Lou Thesz to talk with that crap going off!"
Rusty stretches his legs and takes a sip of his usual drink...Jack Daniels whiskey.
Rusty Axel-"Good whiskey that. I hear Jack Daniels is investing 100 million expanding his business. Now Jack Daniels knows what he's doing!"
He certainly would...if he hadn't been dead for over a century.
Rusty Axel-"Now that's good use of time investment unlike the days it takes to set up this damn screen! Now why do we even need the thing in the first place? There's no need for a big screen while you're watching professional rasslin. Its just a complete waste of money and unnecessary extravagance by the lesser "partner" in the AWR ownership. Everytime we do one of those production meetings they spin Old Rusty the same 'ol line. Well you know Rusty....the fans like it. Well the fans would like it if they were handed money walking into the building but nobody is gonna give that to 'em! These fans would be coming regardless on Thursday screen or not to see men like myself and Anthony Royal wrestle."
Rusty Axel-"Now I'm gonna give you a few predictions since I am after all the AWR head of talent relations. I'm predicting Slick will get an ass whupping courtesy of Robert Carr. I'm predicting Tracy won't get much pain out of his match because it will be Randal's shoulders on the mat. I think Jay Swift's ego will collapse when RCH beats him and as for the main event as long as young Roberto calls things down the line Royal will win. As for my match...ha ha well you all know who's gonna win that!"
Rusty grins showing off his horrible yellow teeth. Perhaps the effects of too much whiskey...
Rusty Axel-"Back in the old days there only really used to be men in the old smokey arenas. Granted they were smokey mainly because smoking wasn't banned then. Health and Safety put a stop to that with paranoid fire nonsense I've never seen an arena in danger of burning down. There's more chance of a fire mishap from that darn pyro! It won't just be men in their seats there will also be broads here and a bunch of screaming kids. Now I don't think kids should be at a serious sporting event but young Roberto likes 'em. Maybe he likes them a little too much from what we have been told..."
Not a very kind thing to imply there...
Rusty Axel-"Gemini I hear you're a family man. Most people have heard that from you since apparently you're always talking about them. Rambling on about how great your family are in the locker room and infact I heard you were planning on bringing them to future shows in your hometown of Miami. Well there ain't no place for family in professional rasslin. There certainly ain't no place for family in the locker room! Back in the old days the locker room was sacred. You had more chance of winning the lottery than having your family allowed back there."
Rusty Axel-"Of course I always wanted a child. A son would have been my preference but I was too busy travelling the country's long and winding roads these past 34 years. Moving from territory to territory, town to town. Then again you ain't ever too old! I'm only 54 and I ain't ever lost a step! Maybe we will see a mini Rusty one day! Still like Gemini I've had my fair share of problems with women. Mostly golddiggers even if I didn't love the sport of professional rasslin I would still have to do it. Damn broads leeched millions from me..."
Millions may be quite the exaggeration...
Rusty Axel-"Now what about this girlfriend you had problems with? I wouldn't be surprised if Gemini gave some woman a bit of a battering and that's why he had some problems. He was probably spurned and battered her lover as well. There's few things more broken beyond repair than a broken heart. I've had my heart broken many times either by women or seeing this business monopolised to so few companies. Gemini might have been hurt but his problems show that he stands for false family values. His finishing move tells people to go to hell for crying out loud!"
Rusty shakes his head...of course he could be sent straight to hell like Robert Carr was last week.Or maybe he will feel the burn...
Rusty Axel-"Don't let your family watch at the PPV. I don't want to be too graphic but lets say it won't be pretty. Its a good thing Jay Swift only had to rassle me in Memphis and not right here in his hometown. That would have been humiliating getting that butt whupping I gave him in front of his family and friends. Well the people jumping on his bandwagon claiming to be friends now he's achieved a bit of fame rasslin Old Rusty on Tv."
Rusty Axel-"One of your mottos Gemini is the cliche that failure is not an option. They say the only thing guaranteed in life is death and taxes. Well that and failure being the only option for Gemini at Thunderstorm. That will burst the highly inflated bubble he's been living in. A lil' dose of reality is a good thing Gemini. I think if you burst that bubble and come back to Earth you might fashion a good little career for yourself in rasslin. Still you only beat Carr because he was distracted by Fa Sho's presence in the building..."
That is an extremely arguable point...
Rusty Axel-"A few weeks ago in Memphis you mentioned the Memphis Grizzlies. That they are a young team who have proved themselves to be passable performers to an extent. So they developed a reputation beyond their means and then as you pointed out yourself they faced a veteran team...the San Antonio Spurs."
Rusty Axel-"The one thing the Memphis Grizzlies were missing was that jump shot. You were wise beyond your years when talking about that Gemini but you can't recognise the irony can you? Do you not realise that at the PPV you will be the equivalent of the Memphis Grizzlies...and it don't take a genius to work out what Old Rusty will be!"
Rusty conveniently ignoring that Gemini pointed out the Chicago Cubs haven't won a World Series in over 100 years. Kind of contrasts with Rusty's 34 years in wrestling without a title...
Rusty Axel-"Gemini was handed a title shot by young Roberto in his first match and he thinks he's got it made. Showing off his belt at airports and thinks he's living the high life. Well now you're gonna pay some good ol' fashioned dues! I don't care what you did in that THW territory or anywhere else. You only won the title because of Swift getting involved. I guess you're probably a better champ than RCH though that isn't much of a compliment being an improvement on that clown. At least you resemble a rassler and not some circus freak..."
Rusty Axel-"You know since you and Swift like talking trash to me on mic without permission I might just take the mic into the ring myself! Then you can hear Old Rusty talk while you're getting a good ol' fashioned ass whupping! That's what you're all paying to see and its what you're gonna get! I'm afraid Gemini its all going to be downhill for you from here...boi!"
Rusty again flashes his horrid teeth as the picture fades to black...
