The scene opens on a little side road in Hartford, Connecticut. A 17' U-Haul truck, currently holding Tony Santos and his girlfriend, Shannon, as they make their trek to their new home in Miami, sits, parked next to a curb. A song can be heard emanating from the vehicle...



The camera rolls up to the driver's side window, where our driver, a surprisingly sober (responsibility!) Tony can be seen laying back, enjoying a quality song from a very solid album, as he takes a break from what has been a day consisting solely of packing, picking up a U-Haul, loading all of his and Shannon's earthly possessions on to said U-Haul while Shannon watched and critiqued his item placement and speed, getting a coffee, driving, wanting to kill Shannon, getting another coffee, contemplating how he would kill Shannon, eating a cheeseburger, nearly lighting the truck on fire in order to "end it all," getting into an argument with a stereotypical Massachusetts driver, fighting said driver, almost running over Shannon with said U-Haul while she stretched her legs, and more driving.

Tony was exhausted and needed a breather, while he tried to wipe away the murderous thoughts with... a depressingly down Brand New album.

Hm.

Tony sees the camera man approaching to his left...

As always, completely coincidental and in no way staged by Tony himself.

...and he jumps upright in his seat. Turning the music down to a slight lull, Tony proceeds to eagerly roll down the window (yes, he had to actually roll it down).

Santos: Hello, Mr. Cameraman! It's a good god damn pleasure to see you, and a complete and utter coincidence at that! How are you? Good? Surely better than the guy I had when I was in San Francisco earlier this week. Most definitely better than him!

Tony takes a moment to stroke his hair and wink at the camera.

Santos: Anyways, it's so funny that you were able to catch me right when I was listening to, well, a song called "Luca"! Ain't that just crazy?

The cameraman continues rolling, giving no response and showing no emotion. Tony's smile turns into a disapproving frown.

Santos: Yes, yes it is. Really fucking crazy.

Tony was apparently expecting a response to what seemed like a rhetorical question.

Santos: Anyways, it's about as good a time as any, considering the song that just happened to be playing in my own mobile hell hole, to put this out there...

Luca Arzegotti, let's dance in the middle of an XWF ring, one on one. We've never had the pleasure of facing off, and I think it's just about damn time. Hell, we can do the tango, the, um...

Tony grabs his iPhone from the cup holder to his right, searching for types of dances, since, well, drunks tend to only do one dance: the St. Louis Stumble.

Santos: Ah! The Argentine tango, the Uruguayan tango, the Finnish tango, the Milonga... also known as, shit, the Argentine tango.

Tony slams his phone back down in to the cup holder and looks back at the camera.

Santos: Or we can, well, wrestle. Maybe? For your European Title, perhaps? Duke wants me to take what I want, and, since I guess Stone IPAs don't count, I think I'll go with that belt of yours.

Fuck Paul Heyman and his "rules," and "protocol." I want it, and I'm gonna get it.

Or we can just wrestle in a non-title match if DJ Pauly happens to take a break from eating Twinkies and manages to say no.

Fuck it! Either way! Luca, you, me, Monday Night Madness! One on one. Black Circle vs. The Brotherhood. Let's book this madness!

Tony looks at the cameraman, awaiting a slight chuckle. The cameraman doesn't flinch.

Santos: Do you get it? It's funny how I inserted madness in to a conversation about a hypothetical wrestling match between two members of the Monday Night Madness roster... right?

Still no response.

Santos: Well fuck you then!

Tony angrily rolls up the window as he cranks the music to max volume. A large shriek can be heard from the car, followed by the abrupt end to the music. Tony blew out the speakers.

Santos: Fuck!

The scene fades to black.
