*QUIET ON THE SET, CAMERAS ROLLING…*
*AAAAAND… ACTION!*
Scene One
Four Days before RAW
“Hello everybody, I’m Brian Smith and welcome to the show!”
The camera turns and pans around the crowd with people cheering and clapping, along with a generic talk show theme playing loud. The camera finishes panning the crowd and cuts back to Brian who is sitting behind a desk with a smile on his face, waiting for the cue to go.
"Welcome to the Evening hour, as stated before I am your host Brian Smith. Tonight we have a very special guest, as a man who has been talked about a lot lately is here with us live! So let’s bring him out and give him a very warm welcome, actor gone professional wrestler, here he is; Robert Garrett!"
The camera turns towards the little entrance way where the natural one steps out dressed in a full suit, with his expensive sunglasses over his eyes. The crowd welcomes him with a large amount of boos, while there are some cheers from people that are excited to hear what he has to say. The Natural One sticks out his arms to soak in the crowds welcome before walking over to where Brian is sitting and shaking his hands. He yells to the crowd to quiet down before his mic is turned on, and then takes a seat.
“A very warm welcome from the crowd here tonight, huh Robert?”
“Oh you know, it’s what they do. They cling on to something, and when that balance is upset they get all upset and whiny. But if I wasn’t who I was, I’d wish I were me too!”
“Alright, so I think the first thing is something that everybody has been wondering. What is the reason that you went from being an actor to a professional wrestler?"
“Well, you see Brian, I really didn’t have a choice in the matter. Its not like Im just done with my acting career either, its just that I needed something else to do on my down time. My agent had told me that Thy was looking to hire, and I saw that they needed something big there. They needed a name that the people could cling to and talk about, and they got just that.”
“Has the conversion been a hard one, or did it just work out?”
“Well, I have always been one to do my own stunts. So the body damage and things like that didn’t matter to me because I was already taking the bumps. It was just a matter of learning the technical side of the company. How to do a move and make it effective, how to twist a submission just right to get somebody to tap just before their arm snaps, just things like that. Not to mention, I am the Natural One.”
“Right, so looking at your track record so far, you are really making an impact around the place! I mean your first night on air you piss off one of the big men in the company, and then go out and beat his stable mate Troy Motor.”
“Oh yeah, good ol’ bastard boy. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that he knew who I was so that he kept his ass away from me. I even gave him an autograph, which is going to sell for so much money. Then there was Troy, and I feel for the guy. He was put in a bad spot, because who isn’t when Im in that ring? Stepping in the ring with a guy like me has to make a guy awestruck. They have only been watching and enjoying my movies for quite a while now.”
“Now if you don’t mind, can you tell me where your mind was at when you climbed that ladder and pulled down the Money in the Bank case?”
“I was just pumped and excited. That set me apart from so many people in the company that have been here way longer than I have. Right away that put me at the top of the power rankings, in which I should have already been. The two guys I was facing were just not up to par for me, I was really lacking a challenge during that whole match.”
“So now you are basically the number one contender for the International championship, any time that you want. Do you have an idea of when you are going to use it?”
“I have been thinking about that, but I don’t really know. You know, it could be after he just had the fight of his life, and I could just kick back and get the easy pin. Hell, I could even sit back and wait until his arm is snapped in two pieces, come out and lock him in an armbar. Any of these options are possible, I just have to wait and see what I want to do and when I want to do it.”
“One last question for you Robert, do you feel any pressure on you being that you have yet to be legitimately beaten in a match yet?”
“Not at all, I am truly the Natural One and I don’t see anybody on the roster that will be able to beat me. I will only lose when I want to lose, just like this past RAW. Comely just wasn’t ready to fight me, so I helped him out by DQing myself. Save the match for another time, when he is ready for what is going to come at him.”
“Well that is all the time we have for you Robert, thank you so much for coming in! We will be right back after this commercial break, so stay tuned!”
The camera shows Robert one more time who smiles and waves at the crowd. The viewers are still giving a mixed reaction towards Mr. Money in the Bank. With one final shot of the crowd, the scene fades out.
END SCENE ONE
Scene Two
Day of RAW
As the Scene fades in you can see Robert Garrett sitting back in his car, which is parked backstage in the parking garage. He has on his signature pair of sunglasses, along with his MITB briefcase which he has buckled in on the passenger side of the car. He is looking away from the camera while writing something into a small notepad that he has been holding in his hand. As he finishes writing Robert closes up the pad and looks straight into the camera.
“So the night has finally come, where I am actually the underdog. The tiny little movie star, is going up against the psycho in a Falls Count Anywhere hardcore match. A match that being truthful, is nowhere near close to my comfort zone. But you know what, the Money in the Bank match was not in my comfort zone either. Just look at the guys I beat in that match to win this case. The very same psycho ‘monster’ that I am facing tonight, and Matt Sydal. To tell you the truth though, I may be out of my comfort zone, but I am in no way worried. Just like I was not worried during that ladder match, or the match last week on RAW. I didn’t disqualify myself out of fear, or being worried that I was going to lose. I disqualified myself because I was out there to prove a point, because I wanted to stay ready to cash that case in.”
The Star reaches over across the car and unstraps the briefcase from the seat. He takes a second to look it over before pulling it over and into his lap, making sure to show off the small dent that Comely’s head left the week before.
“There is really just a science to this whole thing, where you stand in the business is how far you go. You have the guys going out and kissing ass to Vinny Mac, like Blade LaVigne and Kyle Orton who get all the big opportunities and main event matches. Then you have the guys completely against the company, like the New Age. The ones who claim to work their asses off to be where they are, but not quite getting out of the Midcarder status that they have been stuck with. Then you have me, a guy who feeds off the way that the crowd hates him to do better. Feed off the fact that they just cant stop talking about you, that they keep feeding your wallet every time they watch your movies. Then you go out there, whether you are comfortable or not and you kick ass.”
Robert smirks before standing up from his car and closing the door. He wraps his hand around the handle of the MITB briefcase and starts to walk towards the workers entrance.
“What I don’t think Comely understands in this whole thing is that this is reality. There are just some guys that you will not be able to beat. I am one of those guys, because no matter how hard you work I will ALWAYS be two steps ahead. You can come out tonight and swing around Lucky like some madman like we all know you are going to. But I know that’s the plan, and I am prepared for everything you throw at me. If the battle leaves the ring and we end up fighting on the beach of Miami, I will be prepared. I am not worried about choking your ass out and at the same time forcing you to eat sand.”
Robert walks past a worker who is standing in the middle of the door way. Another walks in front of him and gets shoved out of the way and against the wall. He twists and turns through the corridors of the arena before stopping in front of his dressing room.
“Comely, something that you should know is that tonight is in no way just a match against you. Tonight is a statement to everybody in the back that has asked if I can hang. This is for everybody in the back that has said I’m just a pretty boy, that I should stick to movies. After tonight when you are down on the ground, gasping for breath after I choke you the hell out. Everybody will know just who can hang, and why I am at the top.”
The Natural One turns around and steps into his dressing room. The camera starts to step forward to follow him in, but then the door gets slammed in front of it. The scene fades out as the camera is focused on the nametag on the door ‘Robert Garrett’
