>>Drinking is the new social acceptance

We open up to various conversations. The scene fades into that of a club/bar. We get a full view of the place. To the right, you see four pool tables set up side by side. To the left are about 8 round tables accompanied with four chairs, in a scattered pattern, in the designated areas. In the back is the bar, that sits aside a dance floor. Set up along the wall behind the bar, are various drinks that sit on a shelf, with a mirror behind the bottles. The front door to the bar opens up, and John Austin walks inside. His leather jacket has the sleeves covers his tatts. The beanie sits snugly on his head, as he gazes across the bar looking for his rendezvous. He steps into the place and walks towards the bar. A guy walking by with a drink in his hand bumps into John. John looks down at him, and the guys eyes got wide as he looked up at John. He pleaded his case, but John palmed his face, and mashed him to the floor. John continues his path to the bar. He pops a squat at the bar between two people, and orders a beer and a shot of rum. Seconds later the bar tender brings him a beer, and a shot glass filled with rum. He takes the shot and tips it back. The liquid didn’t burn his throat as he swallowed and was able to maintain a normal look.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
So you finally made it kid

John Austin looks up from his glass and into the mirror behind the bottles behind the bar. He sees the wide grin of Dutch. John walks over and gives Dutch a hug.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
What did you need old man?

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Old man? I can still kick your ass boy haha

They both laugh, as John signals for another shot glass, beer, and also asks for the rum bottle. Seconds later the Bartender slides a glass down the bar along with the beer. John politely taps the guy next to him on the shoulder.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Excuse me sir, you mind letting the next king of XWF have your seat?

The guy looks at both men, and scoffs. He turns back around. John looks back at Dutch like “Is this fool crazy.” Dutch shrugs. With the quickness of a cat, John hymns the guy up by the collar.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Now see what you made me do bro

John flings the guy by his collar, causing him to slide across the slick dance floor. He dusts off the seat.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Haha now we can talk Dutch.

Dutch pours a shot, then John pours one for himself. They clang shot glasses, and then go for a swig, but John protests.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Whoa whoa, wait a minute

Grabbing Dutch’s arm. John stumbles a bit, because he was in half way drink mode. He wipes the small bit of spillage from his chin, and gives John the “What the fuck?!” look. John grabs the bottle, and spills some on the floor.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
This is for Shocker, Alex Richards and Nightmare

Dutch shakes his head and tips back the shot, then pours himself another.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Never again waste that good stuff son. Glad to see you already celebrating your victory before it happens

John laughs.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Of course Dutch, hell I already bought me a custom made robe for when I become king of XWF

Dutch laughs out loud.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Might as well live it up John. You deserve everything you receive.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
I do Dutch, you're right. If it wasn't for you though, I wouldn't be where I am.

John tips back his shot, and grimaces.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
AAAHHH!!!...[Puts a finger up to his throat, mockingly checking his pulse]…That’s what I’m talking bout!...[shakes it off]…So, is it safe to say… ‘Stick a fork in them, they are done for the killing

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
They don't stand a chance on Monday John. You're caring on my goal of wiping the scum off the face of the wrestling world

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
I got to finish what you started back in Memphis brother

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Haha well Jerry Lawler is no Nightmare, Shocker or Alex Richards. At least you have it easy son

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
HAHA YOU'RE RIGHT!

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Calm your voice down John. I think you're drunk already, you never talk loudly like this unless your drunk. Besides, I am seeing three of yous right now and I don't know whos is which

They both tip back the shots. John's face gets all ugly.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dutch cocks an eyebrow.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
Haha what boy? can't the next king handle his liquor?

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
AH, SHAVE YOUR SSSTACHEEE PABLO!

The music and the chatter comes to a screeching halt, as everyone looks at John, Dutch who notices the awkward silence. He stands up on the stool to address his comment.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
He has that inner ear infection that has been going around lately.

People got the “Oh” look, and the bar continued as normal.

Dirty >> DUTCH MANTELL << The Vigilante
We got to go back to the house man, let me call a cab

We Dutch drag a drunken John Austin out the door. John falls down to the concrete as Dutch stumbles to a post to hold himself up. A patron going to walk into the bar, helps John up to his feet and to the pole where Dutch is propped up against to call a cab. Our scene fades out to black.

=============================================

>>Sobered Up Promo.

It is now the next day and we find John at XWF studios for a promo. We already find him inside and mic'd up all ready to go. Dark shades cover the eyes, as John is hungover as fuck. The camera man starts to count John down, we get to one and off to the races.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Now normally I would talk with intensity and force but as your future king of XWF, I was out having a victory party last night and lets just say the king has had a little too much to drink haha. The future will write itself this Monday as I have to defeat three piss ant peasants to make my way to my rightful throne.

John takes a short breath before continuing.

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
As your future king of XWF, I have to fulfill the request and take out the three jackoffs who think they run XWF with a iron fist. I have news for you three, come Madness, when I run through you all. I want you to look back at your careers and say, was it worth it?

Short Pause

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
Was it worth stepping into the ring with God's favorite wrestler? was it worth the loss to your precious and valuable career records? Guys, I think you need a reality check and I will be the one to give it to you on a silver f***ing platter.

Short Pause

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
I don't have to wear a mask like Nightmare or claim to be worth billions of dollars like Alex Richards to prove how great I am, hell my track record speaks for itself. I am the hottest thing going in XWF, you can't deny it ladies and gentlemen. I want all of you watching this, to thank Paul Heyman for all he has done for you and bringing the hottest start to XWF. Shoot him a email, write him a letter, just thank the man because he gives you the chance to see me perform

Short Pause

>>Mr. Hot Shot >> JOHN AUSTIN << Your Favorite Wrestler
I have said all I needed to say about this. Come Monday I will ascend one step closer to facing John Madison. Shocker, Nightmare and Alex Richards, you three are helping me get there. Four guys will walk into Mexico and one guy will walk out Monday night as the victor ..... ME

John steps off camera as our scene fades to black.

What a match that is in-store for you XWF fans. Like John stated, four guys get a shot at a chance to face off with the king of XWF further down the road. John has already taken out guy after guy and before its all said and done and the dust so called settles, the king of XWF will sit at his rightful throne.... JOHN AUSTIN!
