[Sal Darius]

Mr Pendor: Some promoter called me and asked me if you’re available.

SD: Available? For what?

Mr Pendor: Available for a Q&A show?

SD: What did you say?

Mr. Pendor: I didn’t commit, but I gave him a positive vibe and said if we’ll let him know.

SD: Is it online?

Mr Pendor: Noo… It will happen in your hometown. It would be a live, in-person show.

SD: Sure. But you know they will hate me? Right?

Mr Pendor: Why do you think that?

SD: Because Pendor my last match was 4 months ago, I am just coming out of jail and everybody has been tagging me as a rapist and a drug addict!!

Mr Pendor: Yes we lost the case, but you’re neither of that.

SD: But I was in jail dude?

Pendor: Own that shit, the people who truly love you. Will love you!!

SD: Ahh man, who would love me? I mean I am already having a shitty wrestling career here? And do you think it will be easy for me to compete after that much time?

Mr Pendor: I mean you were working out in the jail, you’re in good shape. Let's start training and get some fights.

SD: Yeah okay. I think I am good enough to compete too, whatever it is. Who is the promoter?

Scene 1 - Starting again from the scratch

The scene opens in the gym, where Sal was running in between ropes. Suddenly he feels shortness of breath. Darius, gets out of the ring, grabs a basket and vomits inside it. Some promoters were in his gym and one of them started taking photos of him struggling while training.

SD: HAYYY!! Delete those m************* photos!!

Mr Pendor comes in between.

Mr Pendor: Okay, okay.. I got this.

SD: Tell him to delete those f******* photos!!

Mr Pendor: Yes yes. I got this.

Mr Pendor faces the photographer

Mr Pendor: Hayy, give me your camera!!

The photographer passes Pendor the camera, Mr Pendor holds it and checks the shots.

Mr Pendor: Hmm, some shots are good. Anyway, I will delete these couples and then you can get out of our gym. There ya go!

Mr Pendor passes the camera to the photographer and asks him to leave. The photographer with a scared face leaves. While Pendor follows SD to his locker.

Sal was sitting depressed in his locker, sweating like a pig while Pendor knocked on the gym’s locker room. *Knock knock*

SD: Who the **** Is there?
Mr Pendor: Panman!!

SD: Yeah, get your ass inside.

Pendor gets in.

Mr Pendor: Hayy my man!! Have this gatorade before you die by gassing out.

SD: Fuck that!!

Sal, opens the cap of the bottle and takes big sips of the fluid. Mr Pendor, sits on the side of Sal.

Mr Pendor: Listen up!! What did you do there? Wasn’t wise. These a******* have been looking to pin you down, so that they could post something against you. Those Q&A sessions will be good for your image and no company would want a rapist employee.

SD: Panman!! With all due respect, SCW isn’t the only wrestling company I can fight. Many other places I can go to.

Mr Pendor: Considering your current situation, nobody would take you. You were gassed out in the ring, like a b*****. Soo, respect what you’ve right now. I have a meeting with Mr D, later. He is willing to offer you a fight.

SD: How short?

Mr Pendor: 4 weeks.

SD: Against?

Mr Pendor: It's going to be a Triple threat. Most probably against Annelise Taylor and Dawn Warren.

SD: Hmm, can you believe that?

Mr Pendor: What's up?

SD: All my SCW career, I have been asking for competition and now that I am at my lowest? They are giving me tough opponents.

Mr Pendor: That's what I am trying to tell. Sal, buddy. You are walking on a very thin line, a little here and there. This wholeass hard work is just gonna go to waste. You get me? I think D is trying to feed you to the wolves. He is trying to prove to people that you’re finished. That's why he has decided to give you a tough fight. But to me, you’re better than everybody. To me? Annelise is the same chick who is fighting until her mother picks up the call and tells her that she cheated on her dad. Then she would quit pro wrestling and go back home. While ‘The Pink Puppy’ still might think that those ‘A grades’ she took as a kid? Matter in the real world. Sal, you got a story to tell to everybody. If you bounce back right now. You can inspire millions!

SD: I get it.

Mr Pendor: Perfect, go hit the shower and I will go meet Mr D.

SD: Sure… But hey Pendor.

Mr Pendor: What now?

SD: Don’t be a b**** listen up. Get me out of the male escort services and onlyfans. Even that sperm donor company, you run that. I will just be focusing on pro wrestling.

Mr Pendor: Perfect, I got that!

SD: Kill it!

Mr Pendor: Yes sirr!!

The scene ends, as Mr Pendor gets into his limo and Sal cleans up.

Scene 2 - Fans Q&A session

Gavin Sattler: Hey everybody!! We've got our guest with us and I am sure you’re very excited to see him after a long time (Sal waves everybody, while flexing in his white aviators). Who has got the first question?

Sal sees a blonde kid, who was wearing Sal’s shirt. Raises his hand.

Sal: Yoo! Kiddoo! Go ahead.

Fan 1: Hey Sal, I am Alex.

Sal: Hey Alex, how are you doing?

Fan 1: Really good. I have a question.

Sal: Go ahead and ask.

Fan 1: How was your time in jail?

Sal: It was okay, I mean. I met some freaks, they were huge fans. I used to do some social activities, workout and try to stay fit. Because no matter how long I would’ve been behind the bars. I had to return one day, to compete inside the wrestling ring. So, yes. It was pretty much that, with me trying to find myself.

Fan 1: Alright, thank you and good luck.

Sal: Thanks pal! I got you! You are waving at the back, red mohawk dude!! What's up?

Fan 2: Hey Sal!

Sal: Hey!

Fan 2: You speak of returning and competing inside the ring. We’ve heard some rumors that you're competing against Dawn and Annelise. Is it true? (The crowd gets excited)

Sal: Dang! You kids of the internet era. That is correct. You will see me, competing against Annelise and Dawn in the upcoming card. My manager got it locked yesterday.

Fan 3: Hello Sal!

Sal: Heyy! Coo hairstyle btw.

Fan 3: Thanks!

Sal: Slick back, is one of my favorites.

Fan 3: Thank you!

Sal: Come on, hit me up!

Fan 3: Soo, do you think Annelise and Dawn will be a tough competition for you? Considering you must be under the phase of ring rust?

Sal: Well, ring rust? That makes sense, but surprisingly I am good. I feel good, I am training and it feels like I never really took off. Tough competition? Sure. But if you analyze in terms of wrestling. I feel like I have an edge over my competitors. We all have seen, your baby faces favorite girls competing. Dawn is more of a technician. Annelise has a little unorthodox Mexican Lucha wrestling styles. I have fought way better legendary luchas, who are better than Annelise and have a lot more experience under their belt than her. Considering Warren, definitely has fought better technicians. Plus I come from an MMA background and my wrestling style is a mixture of highfly/technicians. Soo, I think I am better well rounded and a better fighter than both of those respected ladies.

Fan 4: Yoo Sal!

Sal: Oh… What's up?

Fan 4: Respected ladies? That doesn’t sound like you? Maybe getting locked up for a few months knocked some common sense in your head.

Gavin Sattler: No wait! This is not what this is for. Security get this man out!


Fan 4: No wait! You would let a rapist and a drug addict on the stage? Are you kidding us wrestling fans?

Gavin Sattler: Someone please switch off his mic and get this person out!

Sal whispers something in Gavin’s ear and leaves.

Scene 3 - SCW Breakdown

The scene opens in the arena, where the show just started and SCW were cheering at top of their lungs. Pushing each other, so that they could get a view in the camera. The camera pans and catches the commentary team. Jon Knots and Simon Lyman.

Jon: Well, after a long summer break! We’ve been back and this whole place is electrifying.

Simon: Damn right! This place is mad with a lot of loud noises, but I hope we will be on the same page. Once our very special card kicks in!

Jon: That is very true indeed…

Jon's voice gets interrupted, once Tupac Shakur’s ‘California love’ hits in! Sal Darius, comes out wearing a white vest, jeans and a cap. With his white aviators hanging, on the vest.

Simon: What the hell? Is that, Sal Darius?

Jon: Yes, it looks like him. But why does he look homeless?

Simon: I mean the dude has been dealing with lawsuits and all. That's understandable.

Sal walks down the ramp, gets into the ring and looks at Sharper for the mic. Sharper gets the mic and handles it over from in between the ropes.

SD: I love 2Pac Shakur, definitely has a lot of respect for the man he was… But cut the music.

Sal takes a pause, scratches his head and looks at the ring mat for a while. Then he looks up at the crowd and takes a view of the audience. ‘The Freaky Darius’ waits for the crowd's reaction and once it finishes then he continues to talk…

SD: Yeah right, some people like to see me after a long time. They love me and believe that those allegations were fake. While there is the other side, that thinks… I am a rapist and a drug addict. God’s my witness, I am neither of that. You guys can tag me however you like. But this reminds me of a man, who I always have looked up to. The man I named before and I am going to name him again. Tupac Amaru Shakur, he was from the same place I am. WEST SIDE MFERS!!

The crowd cheers to that!

SD: He was in a society where black people were oppressed. He was charged with false allegations and believe it or not so was I. But when he came out of the jail, he sold records and killed it! That! That! Motivates me to climb at the top of the mountain. I am not here to tell stories. Obviously, you people have a card to look forward to. Supreme Championship Wrestling is all about fighting till the last breath! But… I have been disrespected, molded and squeezed. That made me understand who the hell I am. This Sal Darius, is going to be as real as it gets. Because this Sal Darius, won’t be promoting semen, protein shakes or male escorting. In fact this ‘Freaky Darius’ is only going to take m************ out in this very ring! Because quite simply and quite frankly! Sal Darius is just a fighter. So from living the Vegas life, you will see me (while staring at the camera) living the fight life.

Sal drops the mic and leaves the arena.
