The scene opens as Chris Page is shown walking down the ever-familiar hospital room belonging to Robert Main since December 23, 2021.
Robert Main lays in his hospital bed tucked in underneath the covers with his arms resting at his side on top of the sheets... Boredom has set in over the last two months being confined to his hospital bed suffering from a cracked skull by the hands of Thunder Knuckles.
Chris looks in on Robert from the window with a look of concern as he lets out an audile sign before walking towards the door which is closed. Chris opens the door entering Robert’s room all upbeat and shit.
” What up fucktard!
Robert slowly turns his head towards the right where a smile comes across his face with the visit from his best friend and closest confidant. Chris throws Robert the middle finger of his right hand as he walks across the floor to his chair which sits next to Robert’s bed. Chris’s middle finger draws the right middle finger from Robert as he states.
” What has taken you so long to get back here?
Chris takes his seat next t to Robert’s bedside as he gets comfortable before answering Robert’s question...
” You know the life of the Universal Champion better than just about anyone else homie, shit is getting real out there.”
” I know, I’ve been paying attention.”
” Alright so you know I need you to get your ass out of this bed and find a way to get your release because I am fighting a losing battle here by myself. Ever since I found out Oliver was behind this whole thing I have been hit by all sides by numbers. I am just one person taking on an army… I need my brother by my side.”
Chris leans in as he makes firm eye contact with his best friend.
” BoB has way too many numbers. They left me beaten and bloody on national television and they are playing a game that I honestly do not have an endgame for. I am walking into the unknown for March Madness, and I have to be honest with you, I am a little concerned. This is the first time in my professional career that someone is playing a game with me that has been completely and fucked in whatever direction to look.”
Robert chimes in as Chris leans back against his chair.
” This entire situation is fucked man, and I am sorry that you are holding the bag on this having to deal with all this fallout on your own. It cannot be easy when you have someone pointing the finger at you when all you have done is try to find out the responsible parties. I saw Thunder Knuckles, Bourbon, and Miss Fury jump you on Savage and I have seen this Anarchy guy continue to imply you are involved in what happened to me. I can only imagine the rollercoaster you have been on.”
” It is not so much the rollercoaster ride it is constantly having to inform the masses that I am, and have always been on your side. I mean had I not called Zuckerberg to do the incredible things he can do when it comes to computers and software we would not have gotten Thunder Knuckles's involvement. Now it is like it has turned into a big smear campaign against me. I have done everything I feasibly can to put this entire situation to bed.”
Chris takes a moment as he lets out a small sigh before he follows up.
” Frustrating does not even begin to describe where I am at with all this. Part of me wishes I would have never issued the challenge to Thaddeus myself after your attack…”
Robert can hear the aggravation within the tone of Chris’s voice as he attempts to reason with Chris.
” Listen, man, you and I both know your hands are clean on this; so it kind of does not matter what the perception of the rest of the world is. When it comes to you challenging Thad in place of me I would not have had it any other way. If it was not me it SHOULD have been you. You did nothing wrong, and if anyone has anything to say to the contrary they can fuck off.”
Chris is not having it as he stands up from his chair while cutting Robert off in midsentence with sheer frustration within the tone of his voice...
” That is where you are wrong because it does matter, it matters to me. You are not the one that has all the boys looking at you with suspicion in their eyes wondering if I am the man behind having you taken out.”
Chris starts pacing back and forth across the floor of Robert’s room beside his bed while he continues.
” It does not matter which direction I look or what moves I make to try and vindicate myself. I have some cunt hiding in the shadows playing all these videos that implicate me. Look at the last one, on the day that you are attacked they show me talking to Thunder Knuckles… sure, that conversation could have happened at ANY TIME throughout the day, and well before I linked him to the actual attack, but do you think that is what the masses took out of it? Fuck no. I’ve been receiving calls, texts, emails from fans of yours throughout the world labeling me as a traitor without even having any shred of proof…”
Chris stops pacing and directs his attention towards Robert in his hospital bed.
” If I had known that me stepping in your place after that attack was going to draw this much fucking backlash I would have never done it, to begin with, and I would have stayed my ass in the back with you which is what I should have done, to begin with. It would have avoided all this extra hassle and beatings I have had to take over it. I am supposed to be wrapping my mind around defending the very Championship I challenged for because I thought it was the right thing to do, but instead, I am wandering through this black hole of the unknown.”
Robert breaks back in as Chris pauses.
” Listen you are Chris-Fucking-Page, you are the same man that spent twenty-twenty busting his ass and improving his game every day. I will not let you stand in front of me and downplay just who the hell you are. Remember that you are the guy that walked through those doors in twenty-nineteen and did what nobody else could do… you made me sweat, and you are the same guy that was responsible for procuring the Tag Titles for us from the Sick Cunts, the same guy that took Thaddeus Duke who meant absolutely nothing at the time and turned him into something over six months. I say all that to say that regardless of what people are saying or trying to do that you deserve to be in the position that you have found yourself in.”
Chris sits back and listens as Robert continues.
” You are the XWF Universal Champion; the first credible Champion this federation has had since me. You did not have to get a briefcase to cash in like Lacklan or Warstein, and the truth is told if Thaddeus did not have his cronies watching his back you would have left High Stakes as Champion back then. Those are the facts, Chris. You cannot allow them to get in your head because that is exactly what they want. I wish I could get a letter of release right here and right now… but is it not that simple.”
There is a momentary pause from Robert before he states.
” Chris I have to be honest with you….”
Chris steps close to Robert’s bedside.
” The doctors do not know if I am even going to be able to come back.”
” What the fuck?!?!”
Chris immediately sits back down and pulls his chair closer to the bed with sheer concern on his face upon hearing this devastating news.
” I have been battling this over the last few weeks, and outside of my parents I have not told anyone else what I am about to tell you now.”
” What the fuck are you talking about?”
” This deal has caused more damage than we all initially thought. The doctors are saying that my in-ring career is more than likely over with…
Sheer shock graces the face of Chris Page as he listens to Robert.
” They are saying that if I were to take one shot to the head in the right place it could kill me. There is not a doctor on the face of the planet that will clear me, we both know that.”
Chris sits with utter shock on his face as he the other words he can gather he mutters out toward Robert.
” Nah man, there is always something that can be done.”
” You do not think I have not already exercised as many options as I possibly can since I have been stuck within these four walls? I do not even want to think about not being able to wrestle anymore, dude. This is the spot in the road that there is no going around.”
Chris lets out a desperate sigh as he once again leans back in his chair allowing the words spoken from his friend to sink in.
” All I can ask from you is that if you do not do anything else you avenge what Thunder Knuckles has done to me by taking away everything he has taken away from me.”
” I am going to make him rue the day he ever thought that this was a good idea, and in the process, I am going to make his father regret not using a goddamn rubber on the night he was conceived.”
Chris takes a moment before he continues.
” What is next for you then? Are they going to let you go?”
” That is a little more in-depth…”
” What are you not telling me?”
” I am not going to bring you down any more than I already have… I just want you to know that this ride that you and I have been on over the last several years has been some of the most fun I have had. You are an incredibly talented guy that has a mind for this business that I have never seen before. You need to focus on what you have in front of you.”
” Nah man, it is not going down like this.”
Chris gets up out of his chair as pushes it away from Robert’s bed. Page looks down at Robert while he states.
” You might have given up… I have not.”
Chris turns his back on Robert where he starts walking towards the closed door to Robert’s room. Chris opens the door closing it behind him as the scene fades to black.
… TO BE CONTINUED
WORDS FROM THE STONED ONE:
I do not even know where to fucking begin with this entire shit show that has found its way directly into my lap. Over the last two months, I have been the center of attention when it comes to what happened to Robert Main even though Thunder Knuckles has already been revealed as the man that orchestrated the attack that has cost my best friend his goddamn career! That is not good enough; oh no, now it is there is MORE to a story that has been fabricated by Thunder Knuckles for no other reason than because he is the biggest troll this profession has ever seen.
He has played you all like a fiddle, and you have all been stupid enough to allow it to happen.
For the first time in a very long time within my career, I am lost when it comes to what I am walking into when it comes to March Madness. Mystery surrounds my opponent who is going by the name “Anarchy”. Anarchy has made a habit out of looming in the shadows, hiding behind videos that he has been able to splice the way he has wanted to tell some bogus story that fits his narrative.
I have been open about BoB being behind all of this.
It is the only thing that makes sense when you look at what has played since Snow Job. I win the Universal Title, I win the paperweight Big D called a World Title, I gave that title to someone that I thought was a friend and someone that deserved it, Miss Fury; but it was all just one big ploy on behalf of BoB… so what is to say that Anarchy is not the same very ploy? You got Thunder Knuckles running around saying he knows who paid him, but does he? There is a lot to be confused about and a lot of different ways this thing can play out, but the one thing that remains the same is that I am walking into March Madness not knowing who my opponent is or what their TRUE intentions behind picking this fight with me are.
I have had to force myself to stop thinking about the nine thousand things that could or could not be happening and focus on the one thing that is…
March Madness I am defending the XWF Universal Championship; a championship that I take a lot of pride in holding on to. We are in a time now where the business is booming, the level of talent is elevating to an all-time high, and everyone has their eyes on MY prize. I have not and I will not take anyone lightly when it comes to challenging for MY title. I take a lot of honor in being the king of the castle while we are in the midst of this talent boom.
I might be at a disadvantage by not knowing who you are…
That disadvantage is out the window the moment you show yourself.
This leads me to ask a million-dollar question; why have you not accepted my offers to meet me in the ring along the way to March Madness? Why did you not end the speculation and stand by your allegations against me? You might try to have us all believe that is a part of your game, but this game is flawed when you rear your head. You see I’d like to think that perhaps, just maybe you realize that when you do show your face you are not going to live up to the hype that you have built around yourself. You are hiding because you know that the moment that bell tolls and you are standing across the ring from me that the words you are fucked do not even begin to describe the situation that you are going to find yourself in.
You will learn the hard way exactly what it means to play a game with Chris Page.
Your game ends at March Madness… but my game begins.
You and everyone else on the roster need to step up and pay extremely close attention to who you are dealing with. I am not Chris Page of twenty-nineteen; I am not the Chris Page of twenty-twenty… to keep typecasting me in those light shows your ignorance. I am the measuring stick for this federation and I will walk into this battle, defend my title and dispose of whoever the fuck this Anarchy prick is…
And then I’m looking directly at you Thunder Knuckles.
I am here to tell you here and now that I can give two flying fucks about your No Good Bastards deal with Bobby Bourbon, I can give a rat’s ass about your affiliation with Bob and the numbers that it carries… I am coming for you; not only am I coming for you I am going to rip your skull off and shit razor blades down your mother fucking throat! You have crossed a line with that that is truly the point of no return if there ever was one. You have to answer for your actions and answer for them by my hands. I’m pleased as punch that you are having such a wonderful time with all of this because I can assure you that fun and games end the moment that you man the fuck up and meet me in the ring.
… but you will not do that, will you?
Oh yeah, that is right… you are not getting paid for it; so let’s end that here and now. I will pay you.
Name your fucking price so that I can guarantee myself the satisfaction of kicking the shit out of you not only for my gratification but for that of Robert Main and what you did to him in the process. You and your BoBies might be having a great laugh about the situation now, but I guarantee you that I will be the one laughing last. What excuse do you have now? The ball is going to be in your court because I will be bringing my Universal Title with me just to sweeten that pot. If you are not behind “Anarchy” I want you to pay very close attention to what I do to him. It will be child’s play compared to what the fuck I am going to do to you and the rest of BoB.
You fired the first shot by cracking Robert’s skull.
I’m going to fire the next shot by cracking yours!
In case none of you have figured it out by now I am walking into this dedicating it to my brother, my best friend whose career has been cut short. Las Vegas is going to be a very special place for no other reason than it being the hometown of my fallen friend; so I cannot think of a better place to cut the head off this conspiracy snake before moving on to some people that fucking matter. I am going out there for you, Rob. I will not let you or the family down.
