Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, not only the site of March Madness 2021 but the hometown of my fallen best friend Robert “The Omega” Main. The reality still has not sunk in since hearing the news of his passing. It just seems like yesterday that we were speaking about him coming back to the ring or trying to get him some clearance to do so. There is a void that I cannot fill. Robert and I were close, there is not a doubt about that. I do not know how I am going to get through this day as it is arguably the saddest day in my life that I have had in a very, very long time.


Chris sat in the back of his chauffeured black town car, windows heavily tinted as Chris is wearing an all-black suit, black undershirt with a black tie. He has large black shades covering his eyes while gazing out the window up into the Las Vegas sunshine as he beats down from the heavens above accenting the mountain ranges off in the distance of Sin City. The silence is broken as Chris’s driver asks.



” So what brings you to Las Vegas?”


The last thing Chris wants to do is make small talk. I mean, there was a reason he was sitting in silence on his drive-in from the airport. He does not even have time to respond when his driver follows up with.


” I mean I know a funeral, sorry for your loss, but I was kind of hoping your visit did not end with paying final respects.”


Letting out a deep, aggravated sigh Chris responds.


” If you must know I am here to bury my best friend…”


Chris takes notice of his driver shifting his heads towards Allegiant Stadium as they are coming up on it on the way to the Las Vegas Strip. The massive marquee out front flashes the letters X.W.F. in red followed by MARCH MADNESS 2021 immediately after in green followed by an advertisement for the Universal Championship Match which shows a picture of Chris Page with his title.









” Oh shit son! That’s you.”


Fan-FUCKING-tastic.


” Live and in living color.”


” I knew you looked familiar.”


” And here I was thinking I just had one of those faces.”


” I am sorry to hear about your friend. I assume that is where you are headed now.”


” If it is all the same to you, I’d rather not talk about it. I mean that with all due respect. I get the idea of small talk to pass a little time, but you are with me for the week so I am sure there is going to be plenty of time for all of that. I just need to get through this day.”


Seemingly without hesitation Chris’s driver responds.


” I completely understand.”


Finally the sweet sounds of silence as they hit the busy Las Vegas strip before hanging a left by New York, New York Hotel and Casino headed away from the busy strip. It is at this time that Chris’s cell phone starts to ring. He reaches into the inner pocket of his sport coat where he retrieves his iPhone 12. Chris answers the call placing the phone to his left ear.


” Hey Mr. Main.”


Great… more small talk.


” I am doing about as good as can be expected… Yes, sir, I am about to pull up in just a few minutes.”


Chris listens to Dewey on the other end of the phone for several seconds before he can respond.


” Let’s talk about this when I see you, literally about to pull up to the funeral home.”


Just as soon as Chris ends the call is just as soon as they pull into the parking lot of the funeral. It is there that Chris physically lays his eyes on Dewey Main in the parking lot putting his cellphone back in the right pocket of his dress slacks as he puffs on a smoke.


The driver pulls into a vacant spot on the opposite side of the front entrance.


Chris exits the car, shutting the door behind him. The sound of the door closing is enough to garner the attention of Dewey as he starts to meet Chris in the parking lot.



” No shit when you say you are pulling up.”


” I tried to tell you I was seriously right here.”


Dewey takes the cigarette out of his mouth as he and Chris share a hug in the parking lot. The embrace is not long before they release. Dewey takes several steps back before putting his cigarette back in his mouth.


” How is everyone holding up?”


” As best as can be expected I suppose.”


Chris runs the palm of his left hand across his face before resting it at his side.


” It is still so hard to believe.”


” As a parent you are not supposed to bury your kids… your kids are supposed to bury you. Look at me, one son in a coffin and the other one locked up in federal custody for playing his role in the act. Where the fuck did I go so wrong?


” With all due respect to you Mr. Main, you are not being fair. You cannot blame yourself for the actions of Oliver. Your job was to raise them, you did that. Your job is not to make all of their decisions for them. You cannot help the fact that Oliver took it upon his self to perpetuate this act, not you.”


” That’s way easier said than done. Do you have kids?”


” Two boys; one just graduated college and the other is just getting started, so to say that it is easier said than done does not fly with me. I did the best I could to raise them right, raise them with morals and some sort of values. Will I kick myself in the ass if they fuck up when they make a mistake? No. I’ll ask them what they learned from it.”


Dewey takes the last pull from his joint before thumping it onto the asphalt. He exhales his smoke out into the dry Las Vegas air.


” You can keep blaming yourself or we can get through the next several days, and you can put all of it behind you. If it is beyond your control you should not give it any of your time and energy.”


” It does mean a lot to us that you have come out early to take part in this.”


Dewey Main reaches out wrapping his large arm around Chris’s shoulders as they start to walk towards the entrance of the Funeral Home as he continues.


” The private viewing is already underway. The public viewing is tonight, and the funeral is tomorrow. Are you still good to deliver his eulogy?”


” Of course I am.”


They near the front glass doors of the funeral home only to have Kayla, the sister of Robert Main open one of the doors from the inside. Dewey releases his arm from around Chris’s shoulders as Kayla greets him at the door.


” You came!”


Kayla gives Chris a big hug before kissing him on the cheek before pulling away as Chris steps through the door followed by Dewey Main. Kayla leads Chris through the lobby of the funeral home to a private viewing room. She stops at the door which is closed before turning back around facing Chris.


” I want to prepare you…”


Chris cuts off Kayla’s attempt at softening the blow with what Chris might be walking into.


” This is hard enough as it is… let’s just get on with it.”


Kayla simply nods her head before opening the door which leads into a private viewing room that is separated into two sections. There is a small waiting area and then the room with the casket on display. The waiting room has several bikers with one at the casket itself.









” We need the room for a few minutes.”


With the words spoken by Dewey Main it is enough to have the members start to navigate towards the door leaving the room altogether. Kayla pats Chris on the back of his right shoulder before softly stating.


” Take all the time you need.”


Mr. Main and Kayla leave Chris to himself as they are the last to exit the room and closing the door behind them. Chris observes the room, taking in that he is all alone. Chris takes several slow, methodical steps towards the casket, his eyes gazing over its side and on to the dead body of Robert “The Omega” Main.


” I always told you that you were the dramatic one.”


Chris takes the last four steps reaching the side of the casket where he gazes down at the lifeless, yet the bearded face of his best friend.


” You was not supposed to die on me you selfish prick.”


Chris has to glance away from the body, his eyes blink and twitch several times before he looks back at Robert’s body.


” Can I be honest with you?”


Chris reaches down patting the stiff chest of Robert Main.


” Your sister is kind of banging.”


Chris draws his hand back from Robert’s chest.


” I might have to take advantage while she is in this emotional state.”


He places them on the side of Robert’s casket as he leans down over Robert’s body coming within feet of his face.


” We did a lot of good together, brother. We accomplished everything we set out to accomplish, didn’t we? We constantly turned heads, constantly served up ass whippings to anyone that bothered to try us, we outshined everything else the XWF had to offer for the last fourteen months… and then you had to fuck it all up, didn’t you?


Chris takes a moment to gather his thoughts before he states.


” You had to fuck it up by dying on me dude.”


Chris stands back up completely as he looks down at the body.


” I will not let you down brother. I’ll keep your memory alive every day.”


Chris pats the side of the coffin before turning his back to it.


” Now, where is that sister of yours?”


Chris starts to enter the waiting lobby before standing to the side of the door as he can hear Kayla’s voice talking to Dewey.


” I just feel so bad for him, dad. He is tough but I can tell Chris is crushed by all of this. He is a good guy and his heart is in the right place.”


” He is a good dude and has been through a lot just like we have… I am grateful that Robert had someone like him the last few years of his life. I know he is a strong guy, and he is someone that will not find peace until he brings vengeance to this situation for us.”


” Should we check on him?”


” Nah, give him as much time as he needs. He is the only person that has had any real interaction with Robert since all of this happened. He did not get to tell him goodbye, so this is his time to do that.”


Chris turns around facing the coffin.


” Oh yeah, that is right…”


Chris throws up the middle finger on his left hand while spouting out.


” Goodbye, fucker.”


Chris turns back around where he reaches out and opens the door as the scene fades to black.



… TO BE CONTINUED.




THE INTERVIEW: PART 1



Our scene opens on a two-person interview set that is lower key than over the top. We see XWF Journalist Steve Sayors sitting camera right and the XWF Universal Champion “Chronic” Chris Page sitting camera left with his Universal Championship resting on a small oval table sitting between the two men. There’s a countdown off camera before Steve welcomes us.


” Good evening ladies and gentleman, and thank you all for joining us for this very special sit down interview with none other than the XWF Universal Champion… “Chronic” Chris Page. Chris, it seems like this is turning into a “thing” leading into Pay-Per-View Events, thank you for once again granting me your only interview for March Madness.”


” Just in case you or anyone else has not figured it out, I am not the guy that has to shamelessly promote myself as a way to placate my ego. You get one shot with me because it is the only shot that I am going to need to fire, and you are right, it is a thing because why else would I grant any other media outlet the one-shot if it does not belong to the company I am here to represent?”


” That is a good point.”


” Duh.”


” Chris I think the first thing we need to talk about is the passing of Robert Main. The news broke over the weekend that Robert did fall victim to a brain hemorrhage directly related to the cracked skull that he suffered at the hands of Thunder Knuckles. Is there anything that you can or will tell us when it comes to the death of Robert?”


” Way to start this one out on a fucking downer; maybe I will rethink who I grant my only interview to moving forward because that sucks a bag of donkey dicks. Yes, Robert passed away. I was made privy to it over the weekend, I have met with his dad and his sister; however, out of respect for the Main Family I am not going to get into a lot of details.”


” How has it affected you?”


” How do you think it has affected me? Robert Main and I were best friends drawn together out of mutual respect for what we could accomplish. We took a lot of shit from a lot of people, but it did not change the fact that collectively and singularly we were, and in my case being, the best of the best.”


Chris points towards his title on the table as his attention is firmly on Steve.


” I went out and won that son of a bitch because my boy could not, and I could sit here and try to play the sympathy card like so many others would if they found themselves in this situation… but not I, oh no.”


Chris lowers his hand down while he continues.


” I am here in Las Vegas, Nevada, ready willing, and able to honor the memory of Robert Main. What is fucking crazy is we all know that had he not been attacked by Thunder Knuckles that he would have owned Thaddeus harder than I did, and he would be sitting her prepared to make the homecoming fit for the goddamn superstar he was; it is only fitting that in Robert’s death that I step to that forefront and defend the Universal Championship in his honor; which is exactly what the fuck I plan on doing.”


Steve uses this as a way to shift gears into Thunder Knuckles.


” Chris it was revealed several weeks back that Thunder Knuckles was the man revealed to be the guy who attacked Robert with a baseball bat, which he has admitted to doing, you have speculated that perhaps Thunder Knuckles knows who is behind all of this.”


” I have done more than fucking speculate, I have all but pointed the finger at him and BoB… If anyone thinks Thunder Knuckles is not in deeper than he has been outed for you should all think again. First and foremost Thunder Knuckles does not have the intelligence to mastermind something like this, we all know that. The dude does good enough to tie his goddamn shoes. The cocksucker has pretty much told us all that he was paid and knows who paid him to do it.”


Chris simply shakes his head as Steve chimes in.


” You are sticking to whoever is behind “Anarchy” being linked to Thunder Knuckles?”


The sheer stupidity of the question causes Chris to chuckle under his breath ever so slightly before he responds.


” It is pretty obvious there’s a link between Thunder Knuckles and “Anarchy”, and I would almost say there is a link between “Anarchy” and Robert Main or myself or both of us. It is not a huge surprise that Robert did not have a lot of friends when he was on top of the XWF, or on his rise to the top for that matter. The guy made a career out of swatting away any challenge thrown in front of him for like the last three years, myself included. There is a line a mile long that had a grudge with Robert that had the resources to facilitate this act that has brought us all to this point. “Anarchy” used Thunder Knuckles to do the deed because he was not man enough to do it himself, and he knew Thunder Knuckles was dumb enough to do it just to get his name in the headlines.”


Steve looks to interject drawing up Chris’s left index finger as he points it towards Steve.


” I was not finished.”


Chris states before lowering his hand.


” We are not going to just gloss over what I just said. “Anarchy” was not man enough to do it so he found a fucking lackey to do it for him. Let me make this clear to you Steve, and to the rest of the world that is hinging on every word I am saying… the games ended when a man’s life was taken.”


Chris turns his attention from Steve and peers directly into the hard camera giving it all of his undivided attention.


” Thunder Knuckles; do not think for one second me dropping you like a bad habit in catering on Warfare is my idea of exacting revenge, that would be deluded. What you can call those actions are shots being fired right back at you for being a spineless turd unless the numbers are tilted in your direction; much like they were in Catering. There were what, five Bobies in the room, and not even they could keep you safe from me. Nah buttercup, you and I are just getting started with our game because now you have gone on national television bragging about cracking Robert’s skull and he’s now died from that attack… I am pretty positive the boys in blue are going to be wanting to have some words with you when you show up in Las Vegas for March Madness and it probably was not the brightest idea to repeat multiple times how great it made you feel to do it too.”


There’s now a sly smirk that slides across the face of Page as he continues.


” What is to say that you are not detained and even make to that precious tag title match that you have been clamoring for after failing the first time? Oh wait, that’s right Them No Good Bastards did not take the fall, right? Is that the crutch you and ol’ Bobby fell on to justify your case? Maybe you shouldn’t have been the weakest team out of the bunch to be eliminated from the equation and you might have been involved in the match when it fucking mattered you ignorant little chode. Hey man, if the cops do not get to you I sure as hell will, and regardless there’s a pretty good assumption that Bobby is going to get left hanging high and dry. Oh, but don’t you get comfortable as you surround yourself with numbers for they might be able to protect you behind the scenes they cannot do shit for you when you are in front of that camera. I am coming for you, and I will put you through more pain and suffering than you ever thought you put Robert through.”


Chris leans back getting comfortable in his chair as his attention redirects towards Steve Sayors.


” Now I am done.”


” Speculation is running rampant over just who “Anarchy” is. Some of the names that have been thrown into the mix are names like Jim Cadeus, Ranma Saotome, James Raven, Sarah Lacklan, to even the entire Anarchy television show roster. Do you have any speculation as to who is the man or women behind the mask we saw on Warfare?”


” I do not play into the whole “who is he or she” song and dance because speculation is the only weapon “Anarchy” is carrying. I have openly challenged this Scooby Douche to show up and make his accusations to me like a man, but what did he do? He showed up behind a mask, go figure. I mean you have to keep that identity super secrete until Sunday am I right? I mean here is a guy that has spent the last six or seven weeks interrupting me on television so that he may push his propaganda to cast me in a bad light and point the finger of guilt in my direction because the guy is smart enough to know most of the world would believe him. Let’s call a spade a fucking spade here; I am not the most endearing guy on the planet in any sense of the word. He used my reputation for being a prick against me; it has not changed my perspective nor has it changed my story with how all this has played out.”


” Would you say it might be possible that “Anarchy” might just be someone from your past using this Robert Main issue as a way to creep back in since you have now become the XWF Universal Champion?”


” Anything is possible, right? Someone may be latching on to this story to sell themselves, but the bottom line is this, it does not matter who is under the mask or who is going to meet me at March Madness to try their hand at lifting the Universal Title from me they are crossing me at the wrong place at the wrong time…”
