-Losing the ladder match was difficult... After I put my body on the line and then ended up losing the match. I'm not a sore loser though, the better man ended up winning the match, but I'm back on track...I'm ready to come through USPW and give my all on my way to the top...I'm here, and everyone better recognize.-
(Izzy is setting down with his head hung low in his lockeroom. He's slowly unwrapping the tape on his hands. He fully unwraps his left hand and then raises up in his seat. He stretches out his neck and then speedly unwraps his right hand, then standing up and going to his locker. He opens it and grabs a baby-blue duffle bag and throws it beside the chair where he goes and seats himself once more. He opens it up and begins to unlace his boots, all of a sudden someone knocks on the lockeroom door, Izzy makes his way to answer it. The man standing in the door is non-other than Mr.Mischoff.)
Mr.Mishoff- "May I come in ?"
(Izzy motions for him to enter, he shuts the door and makes his way back to the chair. Mr.Mischoff is standing in front of him as he steadily unlaces his boots.)
Mr.Mischoff- "Great job out there tonight, by far one of the most impressive matches I've ever witnessed. It had everything I expected, High-flying mofes, some technical, hardcore, and then some. Man I'm so impressed with what you, Troy, Brian, Mark, and all the other guys did during your match tonight. I just had to come by and let you know how impressed I am."
(Mr.Mishoff begins to give a little clap, and Izzy catches a huge smile that stretches ear to ear.)
Izzy- "Thank you Mr.Mischoff. It means alot sir."
Mr.Mischoff- "You deserve it Izzy. I had watched alot of your old matches before I determined wether signing you would be a good idea and I was blown away by some of the things you did, And let me tell you, you did everything I expected and everything everyone else in management expected. You blew us all away with your performance tonight."
Izzy- "Just doing what I signed up for. I try to do my best everytime I step in the ring, tonight just didn't go my way. But I'm not to hurt about losing, I mean don't get me wrong it stings but it's notihng I can't overcome and then get better because of it."
(Mr.Mischoff stuffs his hands in his pockets and leans against the line of steel lockers.)
Mr.Mischoff- "I have high expectations for you in this company Izzy, and so far you haven't dissapointed me by any means. I expect great things from you Izzy. I'ma get going and get back to my office, I just came by to tell you how impressed I was and that I enjoyed watching your match tonight."
(Mr.Michoff extends his hand and meets Izzys hand, they exchange a handshake and Mr.Mischoff exits the lockeroom. Izzy takes off his boots and tosses them into the baby-blue duffle bag. He zips the bag up and leans back in his seat.)
Izzy- " (To Himself.) So far I've impressed the big guys. I guess thats pretty good for only one match in the company. Now all I've got to do is prove to them that I'm worthy of maineventing shows and bringing in the fans. If what Mischoff just said about him watching my old matches is true then they know what I can do and what I will do. Also, there's alot of guys from GWA that migrated over here like I did, so I know they've told the boss about my talent. Or at least I hope they have. I've got along way to go before I get to the top spot that I want...But I'm willing to do whatever it takes, and whoever gets in my way...Well I guess I'll just have to take them out."
(Izzy raises up and walks back to his open locker, he grabs a pair of slide on shoes and slips them on and exits the lockeroom. As he's walking down the hallway he is approached by USPW interviewer Chris King.)
King- "Izzy ! My man ! Can I get a few words from you before you leave ?"
Izzy- "Yea, why not"
King- "Alright, I'll try and make it as quick as possible, so you can get out of here fast. First question, Brian Magnum is the one who came out on top tonight, but you were possibly the most exciting one man performance out there, but does losing this match have any serious effect one the way you'll come out and perform next week ?"
Izzy- " Tonight just wasn't my night. I came out in the ladder match with five other superstars who wanted the win just as bad as I did, I put my body on the line and did some crazy shit out there but that's just what I do, it was nothing special. Magnum came out the better man over me, Troy, and the other three guys out there tonight and he got the win fair and square. But, did losing hurt me mentally ? No, it stung a little bit but it's damn sure not going to affect the way I come out next week and whoop some ass."
King- "How about some of those moves you displayed out there tonight ? You did a senton bomb off the top of a ladder onto a ladder that was on top of another superstar, I know that had to hurt, But anyway where did this extreme attitude come from tonight ?"
Izzy- "Man I was just doin what ever oppurtunity came, a senton off the ladder ? Sure why not. A dropkick from the top of a ladder ? Hell yea. I just take every chance I get to electrify the fans and get them behind me and I personally believe I did just that tonight."
King- "Just one more question and I'll let you get out of here. I know it's only been one match, but do you think you'vve got a promising carreer here in USPW ?"
Izzy- "I do think I've got a promising carreer here. I think that all of management is impressed with me and that's definetley a good thing, they saw my match tonight and now they know what I'm willing to do for this business. I think I've got the talent to stay here and go up against some of these bigger named guys, But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds."
King- "Thanks alot man. I'ma let you go, I know you gotta get rested up after that match."
(Kings gives Izzy a slap on the shoulder and walks away. Izzy walks all the way to the parking garage. He enters his car and drives all the way to the Fontainbleau Miami Beach Hotel. He goes up to his room and gets a quick shower. When ever he exits he comes into the livingroom area of his hotel shirtless, with a pair of Nike baby-blue athletic shorts, All his tattoos can be seen, He flops down on the leather coch and flips the television on to the remaining Forsaken Pay-Per-View.It's the main-event. Mike C and Phantom are fighting it out toe to toe. The ref gets knocked out and then Magnum and Johnson come out to help their respective superstars and end up getting into it. Phantom ends up with the win and with that Izzy turns off the television. He gets up and walks over to the window that overlooks Miami Beach. It's a breath taking sceneary.Izzy walks into the bedroom and comes back out with a white crew neck t-shirt on. He makes his way out of the hotel and onto the beach, he's walking down the beach taking in everything that's happened the past few weeks.)
Izzy- " (To Himself) Been a twisted couple weeks...Signed back into the wrestling business, met back up with a old friend, put my life on the line... Whats next ? I mean f**k, Not much more that can suprise me. I don't know if anything else could happen...Sure I didn't win my debut match in USPW, Sure I'm not the same superstar that I was back in GWA, but the other guys from GWA aren't the same...We've all changed...We've matured with time, tonight was literally the first time I've seen Troy in a while...We're still boys but damn...That man is the one exception to what I said about changing...He hasn't changed since the last time we talked, He's still that same wise, battle worn ring vet that molded me into the man I am today. But damn, I didn't know that going away from wrestling would be so drastic, Everythings changed, new faces, old faces, fans want to see crazy shit...I guess thats what I'm going to have to bring to the table...
...I don't want this time around to turn out like my last time around, a waste of talent and time...Some of the guys that cut promos for the show gave me a little wake up call, AJ said I was a waste of talent and Brian Magnum said I was juast wasting my time even trying to make a come back...I'll admit it hurt me a little to hear those guys say that, but I decided that I'ma prove them wrong, the only thing they've got on me is experience... I out talent all of them... sure they can set there and give their little promos and bad mouth me and say that I won't amount to anything, but I haven't seen any of them offer to take me one on one, so they gotta shut their f**king mouths...
...You know, they walk around flashing how successful they are, having autograph sessions at Target... Not saying any names, AJ, and we've got Magnum walking around worshiping a false god, and then some of those other guys like Mark Force going around hosting latee night talk shows that no one wants to stay up and watch... Me, I keep it real, I came from Detroit, the slums, I didn't know where my meal was coming from but I went out and put in work to get where I'm at today... Do I go around flashing my wealth or success ? No I keep it real I do the same shit that I did before I was famous, and that's work hard, and put all my time and effort toward my in ring performance.
(Izzy turns around and begins to walk back to the hotel after releasing some steam that had built up since the end of his match. He makes his way to the hotel entrance and is met by a gang of fans.)
Fan- "Izzy can I have your autograph !?"
Another Fan- "Izzy you rocked out there tonight man ! You shoulda got the win !"
(Izzy gets a huge smile and signs a few autographs and takes a few pictures before going back to his room. He gets up to his hotel room and sets back down on the couch. Flipping the television on to TBS where The Big Bang Theory is playing.)
Izzy- " (To Himself) That's what keeps me gong, all the fans that want to take a picture with me and want my autograph. It gets me all smiley and warm inside."
(Izzy leans back on the couch and watches a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory as two hours pass. He then gets up and goes into the kitchen. He walks to the mini bar and takes out a few little snobs bottles and drinks them. He returns to the couch and continure watching tv. His phone starts to ring. It says "Rosie" across the screen. Izzy quickly picks it up.)
Izzy- "Rosie ?"
Rosie- "Hey Izzy."
Izzy- "Hey girl...I haven't heard from you in weeks, what happened ?"
Rosie- "I don't know..."
Izzy- "I thought we were goin good... I thought we had something."
Rosie- "We do... I just wasn't ready for the kind of life style you live...You were out partying with your friends...It just seemed like you only stayed with me so you could get what you wanted when you wanted it..."
Izzy- "What the hell ? If partying was a problem you could have told me you didn't like it, I would never use you, believe me if I just wanted to f**k I wouldn't have even tryed to keep a relationship with you... So you think the way to handle problems with us is to not call me or text me back for three weeks ? "
Rosie- "No, I just didn't know how to handle our relationship...I didn't know if you wanted to be with me or single, I couldn't tell, and I just want you to answer the question for me."
Izzy- "Rosie I want to be with you, but after you not talking to me for three weeks, well that gives the signal you don't give a shit about us so why should I ?"
Rosie- " (Now crying slightly) Izzy please...Lets just work this thing out..."
Izzy- "I don't know Rosie... I'm about to go anyway... I gotta go to sleep cause I've got business to take care of in the morning... I'll give you a call or something tomorrow, Bye."
(Izzy hangs up the phone.)
Izzy- "( To Himself) Damn c**t, wants to try and fix our relationship three weeks after she stopped talking, and texting me... seems like she can't make her damn mind up. I gotta get to bed for that damn press conference tomorrow."
(Izzy makes his way to the bedroom and goes to sleep.)
===========================The following morning==============================
(Izzy awakes and gathers his luggage. He goes to the parking lot outside of the hotel loads up his luggage and drives to the AA Arena where the Pay-Per-View follow up press conference is going to be held. He arrives slightly early, so they're still setting everything up. He sets back and waits. An hour later the equipment is all set up and ready to go. But Izzy's not set to go on until after Magnum and Johnson. Those two give their two cents and then Izzy makes his way up to the conference table. He takes his seat and points at the first reporter he sees with a hand in the air.)
Reporter 1- "Izzy, After that brutal match last night, where do you think this puts you on the totum pole of the roster ?"
Izzy- "Well...I'm not sure, I guess I'm kinda up there because of my history and because of the effort I put out last night... But I'm not at the top cause of the guys like AJ Johnson, Brian Magnum, Phantom, Troy Franklin, Mark Force and all those other BIG name guys, but believe that I'm climbing my way up the totum pole."
(Izzy points at a reporter in the back of the group.)
Reporter 2- "There are some rumors that this coming week at Friday Night Freedom you may be in a steel cage match against the MMA Machine Mike Mahoney for the Television title, are you excited about that ?"
Izzy- "It depends, are the rumors true ?"
(Izzy laughs as does the groups of reporters.)
Izzy- "Naw, Yea I'm real excited, I won't know for sure who I'm up against this coming week but if I go against Mahoney, well damn I'll give it my all, I'll jump off the cage if I have to. I'll do everything I can to make sure I walk away with the win, But for now it's all talk, but when I find out the truth, believe me, I'll be training extra hard for that match."
(Izzy points to another reporter.)
Reporter 3- "Okay, My question is, How is your mentality after Forsaken, are you still keeping that good guy attitude or are you getting a chip on your shoulder because of losing ?"
Izzy- "Man do I seem different ? No. I got the same damn attitude I've always had. I'm not going to become some kind of dickhead because I lost one match, I want to keep my fun loving attitude and hardworking attitude. Man, I love the competition that this industry brings, and I don't plan on selling out. That's all the questions I'm going to answer today, I'ma let some of these other guys get up here and you can talk to them."
(Izzy exits the conference table and out to his car. As he's loading up in his car he is met by CEO Cloe, GM Ray, and Mr.Mischoff.All of them are dressed fancy, in suits and Cloe being the only woman in a skirt.
Izzy shuts his car door and turns toward them.)
Izzy- "Hello Mr.Mischoff."
Mr.Mischoff- "Hello Izzy. I brought some people to introduce you to. This is USPW CEO Cloe, I believe you and her have spoke once before."
(Izzy shakes Cloe's hand.)
Mr.Mishcoff- "And this is our General Manager Ray."
(Izzy shakes Ray's hand.)
Izzy- "Nice to meet you both."
Cloe,Ray- "Pleased to meet you."
Izzy- "So, Mr.Mischoff, is there something you need to tell me or anything like that ? Not trying to be rude, it's just, I don't really know of any other reason you might want to see me."
Mr.Mischoff- "Actually I did come to talk to you and to introduce you to the other head honchos of the company. Izzy we came to give you some good news. After a long set down and plan out of the next Friday Night Freedom card, we decided that it would be a good choice if we put you against Mike Mahoney in the cage match for the Television Title."
GM Ray- "Yea man, we think that you proved that you can handle yourself lastnight at Forsaken, you showed us alot of determination in the ring last night and that really opened my eyes to put you up for a title match."
Mr.Mischoff- "He's telling the truth Izzy."
CEO Cloe- "Yes he is. You opened our eyes with that crazy stuff you pulled lastnight. We all figured you would be the best superstar to put inside the ring for the title because of the dtermination that you showed out there lastnight."
(Izzy can't help but smile. He shakes all their hands, they leave. Izzy gets in his car and has a surreal feeling overcome him.)
Izzy- " (To Himself) One match in and they think I've got what it takes to wrestle for a title already ? These guys must have some high expectations for me... I gotta live up to the hype, I have to show these guys that I am the superstar they think I am, I am a great performer and wrestler...I am."
(Izzy cranks the car and begins to drive away. As he's driving his phone starts to ring. It's a unknown number.)
Izzy- "Hello ?"
Voice- "Hello, this is Amy, I'm with the Yahoo! sports radio, and I am calling to speak to a mister Izzy Inzane."
Izzy- "This is him."
Amy- "Ohh, Izzy, I'm calling on behalf of the Yahoo! sports radio, to see if you would be intrested in stopping by our Florida office before you fly out. We would like you to come on air, talk about the Forsaken Pay-Per-View, and about the upcoming Freedom card. Do you think you can do that ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I can come by. But we'll have to do it later today because we're all scheduled to fly out tonight around nine or so."
Amy- "Okay, let me take a look at the planner."
(The phone goes quiet for a moment.)
Amy- "Okay, can you come by in about and hour and a half ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I'll come by then."
(Izzy hangs up his phone and continues to drive. He ends up stopping at some sort of nature trail. He gets out of the car and starts to walk down the gravel path. He takes out his phone and flips through his contacts until he lands on "Rosie" he presses the call button. It ring twice before she answers.)
Rosie- "Hello ?"
Izzy- "Hey. Whatch you doin' ?"
Rosie- "Nothing...I was waitin on you to call."
Izzy- "Well I called...... Now we have to talk about us."
Rosie- "I know we do Izzy, it's just so hard for me to live the way you were living...I couldn't handle you going out every night, partying, never being home when I wanted to see you."
Izzy- "Rosie...I'm going to say this once, I want to be with you, I know I was into the partying but I've changed, I signed another deal to wrestle, I'm doing pretty good, I'm up for a title match next Friday... So I'ma ask you one question, Can we get together ?"
Rosie- "I don't know..."
Izzy- "I'll tell you what, I'll give you some time to think it over and then you can tell me when you're ready. I'll come by the house some time later this week."
Rosie- "You're going to fly back home ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I got some things goin' down, goin' by the school, givin' some donations, so I'll be up that way and I'll swing by so we can set down and talk face to face... So be ready...Bye."
(Izzy hangs up the phone. He turns back around and gets to his car and drives away. When ever the camera catches back up to him he is entering the Yahoo! Florida headquarters. He stops does a little bit of talking to a lady behind a desk in the front entrance and then makes his way up the elevator to floor twelve, He hops off the elevator and makes his way down to the door that says, "Sports", He knocks on the door and a tall, linky man answers. He has longer hair, a scraggly beard, he shakes Izzys hand and leads him to a seat in the room.)
Man- "Hey man, I'm Nathan Roberts. It's a real pleasure to finally meet you, I'm a huge fan, Been watching you since the Power Plant man. The gold years."
Izzy- "It's great to be here man. Those Power Plant days, Whew, Those were some different experiences from USPW."
(Both men laugh briefly.)
Nathan Roberts- "Here's what we're going to do. We're going to hop into the interview, I'll hit you with a few questions that listeners want to be answered, Let you give you're own outake on a few of the superstars in USPW, Then I'll let you get out of here and catch your flight. Sound good ?"
(Izzy nods his head and Nathan Roberts grabs a set of bulky headphones and puts them on, He gives a finger up signal and a loud kind of rock and roll beat can be heard. Then Nathan comes through and gives a sick introduction with some auto-tune mechanisms.)
Nathan Roberts- "Hello ladies and gents it is non-other than NATHAN ROBERTS ! Here with your daily sports. Today we've got a special guest, would you like to say hello ?"
Izzy- "Hey guys, it's Izzy Inzane."
Nathan Roberts- "Did you guys hear that ? IZZY INZANE ! The proffessional wrestler Izzy Inzane ! He's here in studio with me today to answer some questions you guys have submitted over time. Izzy I'ma give you the first question. It's from a young lady by the name of Susan White, from Tampa, she wants to know how much did that senton bomb from the top of the ladder hurt last night ?"
Izzy- "It hurt like hell. Everything during that match hurt, The senton, the fall onto the concrete, getting my face smashed in by Magnums knee...Every thing during that match hurt, and I'm still trying to get back to fifty percent."
Nathan Roberts- "The next question comes from a man living in Pensacola, his name is Patrick Young, He is curious to know how your relationship with the other superstars are now that you have came back to the wrestling industry ?"
Izzy- "I think all my relationships with the superstars are good, I know me and Troy are still on a good note, but as for the guys like Magnum and AJ, wel I can't say for sure because of the kined of guys they are, but all the other guys seem to be easy to get along with."
Nathan Roberts- "Alright, Last fan question of the day. Comes from a local Miami man himself, Tony Douglas, He asked, that if next week you'll be ready to go in that cage match that management put you in when they announced the card for Freedom earlier today ?"
Izzy- "I've been in a few cage matches before, but this ones going to be a little harder because I'm up against a MMA Machine, He might get me in that cage and break my arm, or my leg, So I don't know what to expect, but I do know that Mahoney better come prepared for a ass beating next Friday cause I want that belt."
Nathan Roberts- "A little hostile... But lets get into the good stuff. I know you just signed your contract with USPW, but what's your outake on the new management ? Do you think they're going to be a better fit than those other guys were ?"
Izzy- "I think Ray,Cloe, and Mr.Mischoff are all good people with good intentions, But the other guys that ran it like, Frankie Image, had a good eye for business, they knew what they were doing and they tryed to run a tight business, but they failed, so do I think that Ray,Cloe, and Mischoff are going to do better running this company ? Yea, I do because the superstars respect them."
Nathan Roberts- "How about some of these new superstars ? Do they match up with the talent you have ? Or do you think that they're just some push-overs that'll lay down and take any beating you want to bring to them ?"
Izzy- "Well I just said that all of them are easy to get along with but a few of them, but I will have to admit some of them look softer than a damn pillow man, they just don't have talent, they couldn't wrestle their way out of a wet paper sack that was already half way torn. But, on the other hand, The others have more talent then I've seen in a while, So I guess what I mean is that, There's a big mixture of push-overs and talented superstars."
Nathan Roberts- "Well, Izzy I know it's getting late and you've got a flight to catch so I'll let you get going. It was a huge pleasure to have you on the show."
Izzy- "Great to be here."
(Izzy stands up shakes Nathans hand and exits the building. He makes it to his car where his luggage is, He gets in and drives off in the direction of the Miami Airport.)
(Izzy is setting down with his head hung low in his lockeroom. He's slowly unwrapping the tape on his hands. He fully unwraps his left hand and then raises up in his seat. He stretches out his neck and then speedly unwraps his right hand, then standing up and going to his locker. He opens it and grabs a baby-blue duffle bag and throws it beside the chair where he goes and seats himself once more. He opens it up and begins to unlace his boots, all of a sudden someone knocks on the lockeroom door, Izzy makes his way to answer it. The man standing in the door is non-other than Mr.Mischoff.)
Mr.Mishoff- "May I come in ?"
(Izzy motions for him to enter, he shuts the door and makes his way back to the chair. Mr.Mischoff is standing in front of him as he steadily unlaces his boots.)
Mr.Mischoff- "Great job out there tonight, by far one of the most impressive matches I've ever witnessed. It had everything I expected, High-flying mofes, some technical, hardcore, and then some. Man I'm so impressed with what you, Troy, Brian, Mark, and all the other guys did during your match tonight. I just had to come by and let you know how impressed I am."
(Mr.Mishoff begins to give a little clap, and Izzy catches a huge smile that stretches ear to ear.)
Izzy- "Thank you Mr.Mischoff. It means alot sir."
Mr.Mischoff- "You deserve it Izzy. I had watched alot of your old matches before I determined wether signing you would be a good idea and I was blown away by some of the things you did, And let me tell you, you did everything I expected and everything everyone else in management expected. You blew us all away with your performance tonight."
Izzy- "Just doing what I signed up for. I try to do my best everytime I step in the ring, tonight just didn't go my way. But I'm not to hurt about losing, I mean don't get me wrong it stings but it's notihng I can't overcome and then get better because of it."
(Mr.Mischoff stuffs his hands in his pockets and leans against the line of steel lockers.)
Mr.Mischoff- "I have high expectations for you in this company Izzy, and so far you haven't dissapointed me by any means. I expect great things from you Izzy. I'ma get going and get back to my office, I just came by to tell you how impressed I was and that I enjoyed watching your match tonight."
(Mr.Michoff extends his hand and meets Izzys hand, they exchange a handshake and Mr.Mischoff exits the lockeroom. Izzy takes off his boots and tosses them into the baby-blue duffle bag. He zips the bag up and leans back in his seat.)

(Izzy raises up and walks back to his open locker, he grabs a pair of slide on shoes and slips them on and exits the lockeroom. As he's walking down the hallway he is approached by USPW interviewer Chris King.)
King- "Izzy ! My man ! Can I get a few words from you before you leave ?"

(Kings gives Izzy a slap on the shoulder and walks away. Izzy walks all the way to the parking garage. He enters his car and drives all the way to the Fontainbleau Miami Beach Hotel. He goes up to his room and gets a quick shower. When ever he exits he comes into the livingroom area of his hotel shirtless, with a pair of Nike baby-blue athletic shorts, All his tattoos can be seen, He flops down on the leather coch and flips the television on to the remaining Forsaken Pay-Per-View.It's the main-event.

...I don't want this time around to turn out like my last time around, a waste of talent and time...Some of the guys that cut promos for the show gave me a little wake up call, AJ said I was a waste of talent and Brian Magnum said I was juast wasting my time even trying to make a come back...I'll admit it hurt me a little to hear those guys say that, but I decided that I'ma prove them wrong, the only thing they've got on me is experience... I out talent all of them... sure they can set there and give their little promos and bad mouth me and say that I won't amount to anything, but I haven't seen any of them offer to take me one on one, so they gotta shut their f**king mouths...
...You know, they walk around flashing how successful they are, having autograph sessions at Target... Not saying any names, AJ, and we've got Magnum walking around worshiping a false god, and then some of those other guys like Mark Force going around hosting latee night talk shows that no one wants to stay up and watch... Me, I keep it real, I came from Detroit, the slums, I didn't know where my meal was coming from but I went out and put in work to get where I'm at today... Do I go around flashing my wealth or success ? No I keep it real I do the same shit that I did before I was famous, and that's work hard, and put all my time and effort toward my in ring performance.
(Izzy turns around and begins to walk back to the hotel after releasing some steam that had built up since the end of his match. He makes his way to the hotel entrance and is met by a gang of fans.)
Fan- "Izzy can I have your autograph !?"
Another Fan- "Izzy you rocked out there tonight man ! You shoulda got the win !"
(Izzy gets a huge smile and signs a few autographs and takes a few pictures before going back to his room. He gets up to his hotel room and sets back down on the couch. Flipping the television on to TBS where The Big Bang Theory is playing.)
Izzy- " (To Himself) That's what keeps me gong, all the fans that want to take a picture with me and want my autograph. It gets me all smiley and warm inside."
(Izzy leans back on the couch and watches a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory as two hours pass. He then gets up and goes into the kitchen. He walks to the mini bar and takes out a few little snobs bottles and drinks them. He returns to the couch and continure watching tv. His phone starts to ring. It says "Rosie" across the screen. Izzy quickly picks it up.)
Izzy- "Rosie ?"
Rosie- "Hey Izzy."
Izzy- "Hey girl...I haven't heard from you in weeks, what happened ?"
Rosie- "I don't know..."
Izzy- "I thought we were goin good... I thought we had something."
Rosie- "We do... I just wasn't ready for the kind of life style you live...You were out partying with your friends...It just seemed like you only stayed with me so you could get what you wanted when you wanted it..."
Izzy- "What the hell ? If partying was a problem you could have told me you didn't like it, I would never use you, believe me if I just wanted to f**k I wouldn't have even tryed to keep a relationship with you... So you think the way to handle problems with us is to not call me or text me back for three weeks ? "
Rosie- "No, I just didn't know how to handle our relationship...I didn't know if you wanted to be with me or single, I couldn't tell, and I just want you to answer the question for me."
Izzy- "Rosie I want to be with you, but after you not talking to me for three weeks, well that gives the signal you don't give a shit about us so why should I ?"
Rosie- " (Now crying slightly) Izzy please...Lets just work this thing out..."
Izzy- "I don't know Rosie... I'm about to go anyway... I gotta go to sleep cause I've got business to take care of in the morning... I'll give you a call or something tomorrow, Bye."
(Izzy hangs up the phone.)
Izzy- "( To Himself) Damn c**t, wants to try and fix our relationship three weeks after she stopped talking, and texting me... seems like she can't make her damn mind up. I gotta get to bed for that damn press conference tomorrow."
(Izzy makes his way to the bedroom and goes to sleep.)
===========================The following morning==============================
(Izzy awakes and gathers his luggage. He goes to the parking lot outside of the hotel loads up his luggage and drives to the AA Arena where the Pay-Per-View follow up press conference is going to be held. He arrives slightly early, so they're still setting everything up. He sets back and waits. An hour later the equipment is all set up and ready to go. But Izzy's not set to go on until after Magnum and Johnson. Those two give their two cents and then Izzy makes his way up to the conference table. He takes his seat and points at the first reporter he sees with a hand in the air.)
Reporter 1- "Izzy, After that brutal match last night, where do you think this puts you on the totum pole of the roster ?"
Izzy- "Well...I'm not sure, I guess I'm kinda up there because of my history and because of the effort I put out last night... But I'm not at the top cause of the guys like AJ Johnson, Brian Magnum, Phantom, Troy Franklin, Mark Force and all those other BIG name guys, but believe that I'm climbing my way up the totum pole."
(Izzy points at a reporter in the back of the group.)
Reporter 2- "There are some rumors that this coming week at Friday Night Freedom you may be in a steel cage match against the MMA Machine Mike Mahoney for the Television title, are you excited about that ?"
Izzy- "It depends, are the rumors true ?"
(Izzy laughs as does the groups of reporters.)
Izzy- "Naw, Yea I'm real excited, I won't know for sure who I'm up against this coming week but if I go against Mahoney, well damn I'll give it my all, I'll jump off the cage if I have to. I'll do everything I can to make sure I walk away with the win, But for now it's all talk, but when I find out the truth, believe me, I'll be training extra hard for that match."
(Izzy points to another reporter.)
Reporter 3- "Okay, My question is, How is your mentality after Forsaken, are you still keeping that good guy attitude or are you getting a chip on your shoulder because of losing ?"
Izzy- "Man do I seem different ? No. I got the same damn attitude I've always had. I'm not going to become some kind of dickhead because I lost one match, I want to keep my fun loving attitude and hardworking attitude. Man, I love the competition that this industry brings, and I don't plan on selling out. That's all the questions I'm going to answer today, I'ma let some of these other guys get up here and you can talk to them."
(Izzy exits the conference table and out to his car. As he's loading up in his car he is met by CEO Cloe, GM Ray, and Mr.Mischoff.All of them are dressed fancy, in suits and Cloe being the only woman in a skirt.
Izzy shuts his car door and turns toward them.)
Izzy- "Hello Mr.Mischoff."
Mr.Mischoff- "Hello Izzy. I brought some people to introduce you to. This is USPW CEO Cloe, I believe you and her have spoke once before."
(Izzy shakes Cloe's hand.)
Mr.Mishcoff- "And this is our General Manager Ray."
(Izzy shakes Ray's hand.)
Izzy- "Nice to meet you both."
Cloe,Ray- "Pleased to meet you."
Izzy- "So, Mr.Mischoff, is there something you need to tell me or anything like that ? Not trying to be rude, it's just, I don't really know of any other reason you might want to see me."
Mr.Mischoff- "Actually I did come to talk to you and to introduce you to the other head honchos of the company. Izzy we came to give you some good news. After a long set down and plan out of the next Friday Night Freedom card, we decided that it would be a good choice if we put you against Mike Mahoney in the cage match for the Television Title."
GM Ray- "Yea man, we think that you proved that you can handle yourself lastnight at Forsaken, you showed us alot of determination in the ring last night and that really opened my eyes to put you up for a title match."
Mr.Mischoff- "He's telling the truth Izzy."
CEO Cloe- "Yes he is. You opened our eyes with that crazy stuff you pulled lastnight. We all figured you would be the best superstar to put inside the ring for the title because of the dtermination that you showed out there lastnight."
(Izzy can't help but smile. He shakes all their hands, they leave. Izzy gets in his car and has a surreal feeling overcome him.)
Izzy- " (To Himself) One match in and they think I've got what it takes to wrestle for a title already ? These guys must have some high expectations for me... I gotta live up to the hype, I have to show these guys that I am the superstar they think I am, I am a great performer and wrestler...I am."
(Izzy cranks the car and begins to drive away. As he's driving his phone starts to ring. It's a unknown number.)
Izzy- "Hello ?"
Voice- "Hello, this is Amy, I'm with the Yahoo! sports radio, and I am calling to speak to a mister Izzy Inzane."
Izzy- "This is him."
Amy- "Ohh, Izzy, I'm calling on behalf of the Yahoo! sports radio, to see if you would be intrested in stopping by our Florida office before you fly out. We would like you to come on air, talk about the Forsaken Pay-Per-View, and about the upcoming Freedom card. Do you think you can do that ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I can come by. But we'll have to do it later today because we're all scheduled to fly out tonight around nine or so."
Amy- "Okay, let me take a look at the planner."
(The phone goes quiet for a moment.)
Amy- "Okay, can you come by in about and hour and a half ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I'll come by then."
(Izzy hangs up his phone and continues to drive. He ends up stopping at some sort of nature trail. He gets out of the car and starts to walk down the gravel path. He takes out his phone and flips through his contacts until he lands on "Rosie" he presses the call button. It ring twice before she answers.)
Rosie- "Hello ?"
Izzy- "Hey. Whatch you doin' ?"
Rosie- "Nothing...I was waitin on you to call."
Izzy- "Well I called...... Now we have to talk about us."
Rosie- "I know we do Izzy, it's just so hard for me to live the way you were living...I couldn't handle you going out every night, partying, never being home when I wanted to see you."
Izzy- "Rosie...I'm going to say this once, I want to be with you, I know I was into the partying but I've changed, I signed another deal to wrestle, I'm doing pretty good, I'm up for a title match next Friday... So I'ma ask you one question, Can we get together ?"
Rosie- "I don't know..."
Izzy- "I'll tell you what, I'll give you some time to think it over and then you can tell me when you're ready. I'll come by the house some time later this week."
Rosie- "You're going to fly back home ?"
Izzy- "Yea, I got some things goin' down, goin' by the school, givin' some donations, so I'll be up that way and I'll swing by so we can set down and talk face to face... So be ready...Bye."
(Izzy hangs up the phone. He turns back around and gets to his car and drives away. When ever the camera catches back up to him he is entering the Yahoo! Florida headquarters. He stops does a little bit of talking to a lady behind a desk in the front entrance and then makes his way up the elevator to floor twelve, He hops off the elevator and makes his way down to the door that says, "Sports", He knocks on the door and a tall, linky man answers. He has longer hair, a scraggly beard, he shakes Izzys hand and leads him to a seat in the room.)
Man- "Hey man, I'm Nathan Roberts. It's a real pleasure to finally meet you, I'm a huge fan, Been watching you since the Power Plant man. The gold years."
Izzy- "It's great to be here man. Those Power Plant days, Whew, Those were some different experiences from USPW."
(Both men laugh briefly.)
Nathan Roberts- "Here's what we're going to do. We're going to hop into the interview, I'll hit you with a few questions that listeners want to be answered, Let you give you're own outake on a few of the superstars in USPW, Then I'll let you get out of here and catch your flight. Sound good ?"
(Izzy nods his head and Nathan Roberts grabs a set of bulky headphones and puts them on, He gives a finger up signal and a loud kind of rock and roll beat can be heard. Then Nathan comes through and gives a sick introduction with some auto-tune mechanisms.)
Nathan Roberts- "Hello ladies and gents it is non-other than NATHAN ROBERTS ! Here with your daily sports. Today we've got a special guest, would you like to say hello ?"
Izzy- "Hey guys, it's Izzy Inzane."
Nathan Roberts- "Did you guys hear that ? IZZY INZANE ! The proffessional wrestler Izzy Inzane ! He's here in studio with me today to answer some questions you guys have submitted over time. Izzy I'ma give you the first question. It's from a young lady by the name of Susan White, from Tampa, she wants to know how much did that senton bomb from the top of the ladder hurt last night ?"
Izzy- "It hurt like hell. Everything during that match hurt, The senton, the fall onto the concrete, getting my face smashed in by Magnums knee...Every thing during that match hurt, and I'm still trying to get back to fifty percent."
Nathan Roberts- "The next question comes from a man living in Pensacola, his name is Patrick Young, He is curious to know how your relationship with the other superstars are now that you have came back to the wrestling industry ?"
Izzy- "I think all my relationships with the superstars are good, I know me and Troy are still on a good note, but as for the guys like Magnum and AJ, wel I can't say for sure because of the kined of guys they are, but all the other guys seem to be easy to get along with."
Nathan Roberts- "Alright, Last fan question of the day. Comes from a local Miami man himself, Tony Douglas, He asked, that if next week you'll be ready to go in that cage match that management put you in when they announced the card for Freedom earlier today ?"
Izzy- "I've been in a few cage matches before, but this ones going to be a little harder because I'm up against a MMA Machine, He might get me in that cage and break my arm, or my leg, So I don't know what to expect, but I do know that Mahoney better come prepared for a ass beating next Friday cause I want that belt."
Nathan Roberts- "A little hostile... But lets get into the good stuff. I know you just signed your contract with USPW, but what's your outake on the new management ? Do you think they're going to be a better fit than those other guys were ?"
Izzy- "I think Ray,Cloe, and Mr.Mischoff are all good people with good intentions, But the other guys that ran it like, Frankie Image, had a good eye for business, they knew what they were doing and they tryed to run a tight business, but they failed, so do I think that Ray,Cloe, and Mischoff are going to do better running this company ? Yea, I do because the superstars respect them."
Nathan Roberts- "How about some of these new superstars ? Do they match up with the talent you have ? Or do you think that they're just some push-overs that'll lay down and take any beating you want to bring to them ?"
Izzy- "Well I just said that all of them are easy to get along with but a few of them, but I will have to admit some of them look softer than a damn pillow man, they just don't have talent, they couldn't wrestle their way out of a wet paper sack that was already half way torn. But, on the other hand, The others have more talent then I've seen in a while, So I guess what I mean is that, There's a big mixture of push-overs and talented superstars."
Nathan Roberts- "Well, Izzy I know it's getting late and you've got a flight to catch so I'll let you get going. It was a huge pleasure to have you on the show."
Izzy- "Great to be here."
(Izzy stands up shakes Nathans hand and exits the building. He makes it to his car where his luggage is, He gets in and drives off in the direction of the Miami Airport.)
