[Troy "The Baller" Franklin]

[glow=red,2,300]"Biggest match of my young USPW career[/glow]"

This is the match I've been waiting for. Not because it's personal with Cajun Flames but because it's the first time I feel I have to bring my all to the ring in order to win. I can say I bring my all each and every week but just like every wrestler here...I bring it harder when I know I have a challenge. I would consider Cajun Flames a challenge...a big one to be exact. With that being said...it's time to bring it!

(The scene opens up with Baller lounging around the house. It's a few days away from Freedom and the only thing he seems to be thinking about these days is his match with Cajun Flames. You can tell by the look of his room that he hasn't paid much attention to the house duties this week. Hell he hasn't paid much attention to anything at the house this week and he's been hearing about it. Truth is he hasn't been listening though. His wife walks into the room.)

Keita: I guess Im going to have to go get Troy from school today huh?

(Baller, who is looking at film of Cajun Flames realizes his girl has entered the room but he didn't really hear what she had to say.)

Baller: Huh? Did you say something baby?

Keita: I mean can you pay attention to me for one damn minute? Fuck...

(Baller realizes the anger and decides to pause the film.)

Keita: What? You actually heard me say something around this muthafucker?

Baller: Baby don't be like that.

Keita: How about you not be like that? I wasn't to fond of you getting back into wrestling for this very reason. You let that shit take over everything you do.

Baller: Im a perfectionist. You know I hate to lose. It's not an option and this week I have a tough match.

Keita: Im all for you winning but you have a damn family around here. I've been picking Troy up all week long. One positive with you and the USPW is that the shows are here in DC so you're home all the time and not on the road. But hell this week you might as well have been on the road. You've been home but your head isn't home.

Baller: Sorry baby...what do you want me to tell you? Things are really starting to pick up in the USPW and this week is a huge week for me. Hell after this things are probably going to get even bigger. I don't do this shit to be good. I do it to be the best and to be the best you have to put the work in.

Keita: You've been a wrestler most of your life and it has brought you great fame but when is it going to end? I mean we have a life to live outside of your wrestling.

Baller: It's going to end when Im ready for it to end and I don't see that being the case anytime soon. I don't see you complaining when you're out here shopping all the time. I don't see you complaining when you're sleep until noon in the day while all your friends are out here everyday going to work. You only complain about it when he has an affect on you. What is it? You have a problem with getting Troy from school. Don't worry about it, I'll get him. Im not going to sit up here and listen to this bullshit from you.

Keita: You disrespectful muthafucker.

Baller: Not going to be too many more muthafuckers. I've let one slide. You better chill your ass out.

Keita: How you going to sit up here and say all that? This is about you and your family. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to do something. I've always had your back.

(Baller raises his voice.)

Baller: Well have it now!!

(Baller rarely loses his cool and he never loses it with his girl. This kind of shocks her and she starts crying. Baller feels bad.)

Baller: Don't cry baby. I just want and need you to have my back on this one. The USPW is a whole different monster. A monster that I'm trying to conquer and I need you to understand that. In other feds I could live off of my legacy alone. That's not going to get me far here. In the USPW it's a what have you done lately type of place. I can't do this without you. You know you;'re my rock and you know I need you to have my back. I know I said it would be different this time around but my competitive nature won't allow that to be the case. I have to be the best...I will be the best.

(Troy's girl wipes her eyes.)

Keita: THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK!!

Baller: That's my baby. You go ahead and chill out. I'll go pick Troy up from school.

Keita: Don't worry about it. I got it.

Baller: It's only going to take me a hour or so. I'll go get him.

Keita: You sure?

Baller: Im positive. As a matter of fact Im going to take you guys out to dinner tonight.

Keita: That sounds fun, but...

Baller: No buts. Just go figure out what you're going to wear. We're going to go somewhere nice so make sure you pick out something nice.

(Keita kisses Troy.)

Keita: Thanks baby.

(Keita leaves the room. Before turning off the television, Baller takes another look at his opponent.)

Baller: Cajun Flames won't know what hit his ass this week.

(Baller turns off the television and leaves. He's now in his car on his way to pick up his son from school. His cell phone rings.)

Baller: Hello...

Voice: What's up witcha?

Baller: Who dis?

Voice: It's Dean fool. What's good?

Baller: The Baller...ha ha.

Voice: I hear that.

Baller: What's up with you?

Voice: Just getting back into town. You know I did that travel the world thing.

Baller: Right...how was that?

Voice: Man I had the time of my life.

Baller: That's what's up.

Voice: Got to see so many females. Got to smoke on some of that fire ass green. I mean I had a blast.

Baller: That's what's up.

Voice: I came back to find out you've been busy since I left.

Baller: Yeah.

Voice: Just can't stay away from that ring huh? And to think when I first tried to get you into wrestling you didn't think you would like it. Now look at you. My man is a wrestling legend. Ha ha...go figure.

Baller: Im glad you got me to make that choice. Wrestling has done a lot for my life. Main thing being it kept me from behind bars.

Voice: Or dead somewhere.

Baller: Exactly. Wrestling has saved my life and allowed me to be rich as well.

Voice: I know that's right.

Baller: So what's up with you? You going to come join me in the USPW?

Voice: To be honest with you, I was thinking about that. Even talked to Brien about it.

Baller: Oh yeah? What's up with Brien anyway? I haven't talked to him in awhile.

Voice: You know Brien...always busy. He did say he would give it some thought though. As for myself, I've been wanting to get back into the ring for a while now. Need to kick some ass, you know?

Baller: The USPW is the place to do it.

Voice: What's the talent like there?

Baller: It's pretty good talent. I mean some of the guys you already know from the GWA days. Then its some new talent. It's not where it needs to be but it will be soon enough.

Voice: I saw something last week about you and AJ. You guys thinking about doing it again?

Baller: I think the promotion wants to put that match together. You know I'm all for it. Last time AJ and I faced off he got the best of me. I still have nightmares about that match. Im usually able to right all wrongs. Haven't had the chance to right that ship though and it bugs the fuck out of me.

Voice: Call him out then.

Baller: I don't have to do that. AJ knows I want that match and so does the USPW. Im sure they'll make the match sooner or later.,

Voice: When are they going to give you a shot at a title? It's crazy that all these tag matches keep going down and your name isn't involved with any of them.

Baller: I hear that question all the time. Im not GM...I don't sign the matches. All I can do is beat ass when a match is signed. Sooner or later they're going to have to start giving me title shots. I guess they don't want to destroy all the confidence of the other wrestlers. Once I win a title...it stays with me...you know that and Im sure they know that as well.

Voice: From what I've seen you're the best that fed has to offer.

Baller: You and I both know that...hell the whole world knows that but what can I do?

Voice: Have you ever thought about not being the good guy? I mean I know you love all the love from the fans but they're still going to love you, nice man or not.

Baller: You mean just go around kicking ass and demanding my way?

Voice: Exactly.

Baller: It hasn't come to that point yet. If things don't change soon it will though and I promise you the USPW doesn't want to see that.

Voice: A angry Baller...naw they're not ready for that.

Baller: So when are you going to make your decision?

Voice: Im going to come and check out the show this week. See what things look like then go from there.

Baller: Sounds good.

Voice: Who's your victim this week?

Baller: Cajun Flames.

Voice: I heard of that guy. He almost beat Phantom a few weeks back, right?

Baller: Yeah and I'll be ready for this one. He won't almost beat me.

Voice: I hear that.

Baller: Im not with losing...you know that.

Voice: No one is but you take it to a whole different level. I bet you're getting into it with wifey, aren't you?

Baller: You know me too well.

Voice: I've been your partner through your wrestling career. You know I know you better than you know yourself.

Baller: Ha ha. Im trying to smooth things out though. Im going to take her and Troy out tonight. Im on my way to pick Troy up from school now.

Voice: Where are y'all going to go?

Baller: I don't know yet.

Voice: Kim and I may meet you guys.

Baller: That sounds like a plan. But one thing.

Voice: What's that?

Baller: No wrestling talk.

Voice: Ha ha...no problem. Just hit me up when you decide where you're going.

Baller: Will do. Im pulling up to Troy's school now. I'll hit you back.

(Baller gets off the phone as he pulls into the school parking lot. School is still a few minutes away from letting out. Troy lays back and his thoughts go to his match.)

Baller(thinking to himself): Man this is a big week for me. I have to win this match. Not just because I want to keep my streak alive but because this is my first real test since climbing back into the ring. I can prove a lot to a lot of people this week. I can prove a lot to myself. Im sure Cajun wants this match as well but not as bad as I do. He's going to get my best and I don't think he's ready for that. I don't think anyone is. This is the biggest match of my short USPW career. I've had big matches throughout my careers and even though this one isn't for any kind of title, it's just as big. This week I make a statement against Cajun Flames and this week I also send AJ a message. The USPW is behind hyping that match up. It's time for me to get behind it. It's a match I want to happen and Im sure AJ feels the same way. Only this time I'll be the one victorious. THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK! That Baller is back and better than ever. THAT YOU CAN ALSO TAKE TO THE BANK!

(Just then Baller realizes that lil Troy is banging on the window of the car. He unlocks the door and lil Troy climbs in.)

Baller: Boy don't beat on them windows like that. You know how much this car cost.

LT: You were is some kind of zone. I was knocking for a minute.

Baller: You were.

LT: I see you're back into wrestling full force.

Baller: You ok with that?

LT: Im not Keita dad. I love it when you're wrestling. Im a legend in school just off of your name.

Baller: I hear that but don't you think it's about time for you to make a name for yourself.

LT: It sure is. Spring ball starts up next week. You know how I kill them on that field.

Baller: Like father...

LT: Like son...

(The scene fades to black as the two give each other a high five.)
