The scene opens up as we see Gage Gannon checking into the Hilton hotel with a bruised eye and a bandage over his head from his war at XIII. Hank Brown is there waiting on Gage as he anxiously runs up to him....
Hank Brown: Mr. Gannon, sorry I mean Gage, I was so delighted that you hired me again to interview you........
Gage puts his hand up as he takes his shades off and replaced with the smirk we are used to seeing is replaced with a scowl. Gage cocks his head to the side as he just glares at Hank Brown.
Gage: What are you looking at Hank?
Hank: Gage I don't understand?
Gage: Are you looking at the scars on my face Hank? Huh? Are you looking at this huge bandage that I have over my forehead. The fact that I went to the Hospital after XIII and had to get a shitload of stitches to my face.
Hank: Gage, I'm....just....here......
Gage: Look, at this! (Gage traces the outlines of his face) Look, at this! This is the moneymaker of the WCF and I get some elbows to the face and I tapped out.
Hank: Gage, but a valiant effort though.......
Gage: I tapped out.........Hank do you know the implications of tapping out?
Hank: No Gage I've never been in a match...
Gage: Do you know the inner turmoil that is conflicted in yourself when you have to sit here and make your hand hit the mat just so you can live to fight another day.
Hank: No sir I have.....
Gage: Of course you haven't. You see the problem with history, is that it repeats itself. Time after time, it repeats itself. Has Gage Gannon got his ass whooped before? Yah, plenty of times. But I want Corey Black to look at me. I want GreenFever, Jay Price, I want all of you sons a bitch's to look at me. Congratulations because you walked out of XIII as the winner. But you made a mistake. You should of killed me while you had the chance, but instead I walked out of XIII limping, but nontheless still walking. Still talking, still without a shadow of a doubt, knowing that in a one on one match, the outcome would be a little bit different.
Hank: I believe that Gage....
Gage: Shut up Hank! You see mistake no about it! I take my asswhoopings like a man, just like I dish out my asswhoopings like a man. Corey Black, without a shadow of a doubt you are one tough son of a bitch, but make no mistake about it you didn't kill Gage Gannon.....you didn't make me want to put my tail between my legs and run away crying. No no you see Corey Black you only delayed the inevitable. Make no mistake about it Corey Black you are the man because you have the UWF title, but your merely a man. Your not some unbeatable God, your just a man. Gage Gannon is a man......so man to man mono e mono Gage Gannon is looking you straight in the face and telling you.....GOOD MATCH!
Hank Brown: Gage, does this mean that you take back everything that you said about Corey Black?
Gage: I don't take back anything that I said. Everybody loses, it's a matter of fact, history will show you that everybody loses, but make no mistake about it...no matter how many times I get knocked down, no matter how many times it seems that Gage Gannon is counted out, I'll get my ass right back up I'll dust myself right off and I'll continue going......
Hank Brown: Well speaking of continue going Gage.......
Gage: I know what Johny Fly...........said about me Hank. Believe it or not I was hanging on everyword that Johnny Fly said. Every pronunciation of every word, every syllable of every word I heard Johnny Fly loud and clear. But you wanna know the problem with Johnny Fly? He walks around here like he is invincible. He's one to talk about title reigns. Hell how can you take his wins credible when he beat a clown? Come on are you serious? Johnny Fly you wanna walk around here and you flap your gums.....YAY!! MY PLAN WORKED!! MY PLAN WORKED!! You wanna sit here Johnny and say that you tried to "keep me occupied" because you thought that I was the weak factor in this team. You know why I hate people like Johnny Fly? I hate people like Johnny Fly because he is a believer of his own hype. This guy comes in and he has the nickname. He's "The Dynasty" and I'm "The Mecca." This guy acts like one of those Johnny come lately. He walks around as if his shit don't stink. He walks around here like he is the man, when in actuality Johnny Fly hasn't done anything at all to prove that he is the man. Because as I recall it who ended up getting the better of the other person. I did. Who ended up getting his ass GKO'd and got knocked down for the count? Johny did
Gage: Johnny Fly I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen to me good. The difference between me and all of your other opponents is that I am as good as I say I am. I don't have to go around here day in and day out repeating how good I am. I don't have to sit here and repeat mantra's to myself to make myself believe them. Johnny Fly = Good Gage Gannon = Better "The Dynasty" = Good "The Mecca = Better Out of all the gobble shit that comes out of your mouth you haven't said anything that I haven't ever said about myself. You see Johnny Fly I was once just like you. You win the television title, you win a few matches and you think your unstoppable. Your riding high, nobody can tell you any different, than reality sets in Johnny. Reality sets in Johnny because you realize that your not getting in the ring with someone who lives to entertain the fans off of some gimmick. You realize Johnny that there are no cheap tricks involved, no shortcuts, and their's no excuses. And all I've heard come out of your mouth are excuses.
Hank Brown: Gage, please elaborate.
Gage: Make, no mistake about it I said that I would take my asswhooping like a man, but Johnny Fly I have to wonder what you where doing in the match at XIII anyway? You see Johnny your right I could come out here, walking around the ring angry. I could be all pissed off, and I can piss and moan about the fact that you did cut me off from the rest of the match intentionally to try to weaken me. But sometimes Johnny the best evidence is people's eyes. I don't need to say anything because people saw it with their own eyes. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't full some of the people all the time. You looked across the ring at Gage Gannon and you shit yourself. You literally shit yourself, because I know and everyone else knows that if Johnny Fly didn't weaken Gage Gannon.....their might be a chance that Johnny Fly just may not walk out of slam with the WCF title.....
Gage: Hmmm.....weird I know........
Hank Brown: It is.....
Gage: But you see this is where it gets interesting. You wanna talk about avenging the team? If you would of had your head out of your ass in the firstplace than it wouldn't of turned into a handicapped tag team match. The only reason that I submitted Johnny Fly was because I took your place. I laid your ass out with the GKO, and you weren't heard from again. It literally went like this....DING DING DING HERE'SSSSS JOHNNNYYYYY!!!! Woop GKO THERE GOESSS JOHNNYYY! Lights out sleepy time. Put him on the back of the milk cartons, because hes a non factor. But you see Johnny you did something that you shouldn't of done. You tried to isolate Gage Gannon, oh yeah you metrosexual son of a bitch, you tried to eliminate Gage Gannon from the match. And you failed. You failed horribly. You wanna apologize to the team than you should march your ass down their to that ring bend over and let each and every one of us, me, Odin, and Gravedigger kick your ass for 30 minutes inside of a cage. That would truly be justice. You were the weak link not me.
Gage: You couldn't put aside your pride for a few minutes to make your point across. So what you try to do? You tried to make an example out of Gage Gannon. You tried to make Gage Gannon, your scapegoat! I'm nobodies scapegoat Johnny and come slam I am going to do to you exactly what I say that I am going to do. I'm going to come down to that ring, and their's not going to be any you attacking me from behind, their's not going to be two other men attacking Gage Gannon making Gage Gannon weak, we are going to put just how good you are to the mantle. You don't have to know where I'm from Johnny. Just know where I'm from I've met all sorts of Johnny Fly's! I've met all sorts of Dynasty's and each and every one of them no longer even look my way anymore. Your cocky because you can be? No, your cocky because somebody hasn't knocked you on your ass yet.
Gage: You wanted a challenge, and now your trying to bluff your way through this match. Your trying to hype yourself up by saying that Gage Gannon isn't on your level, Johnny look at me...we both know that that isn't true. Your a fluff for a champion. Your pad your stats off of opponents who have no business getting title shots in the first place. And as soon as you see who your facing Johnny you get all happy inside. You get that warm fuzzy feeling because you realize that your opponent isn't all there. You realize Johnny you can cost because your joke of an opponent has been handpicked for you. I realize that, and I respect you for that. But that's all the respect your getting.
Gage: What you've just done was stick your foot in your mouth. After you beat Doink the Clown last week in a laugher of a match, you were riding high. You thought that nobody would have the balls to challenge Johnny Fly to a match. And then you ran into a wall that was Gage Gannon! You ran into a guy who sees past all the grandeur, you ran into a guy that see's past all the hype. What you ran into Johnny was a guy who will get up in your face, and will bitchslap you back down to reality. If Gage Gannon wasn't that much of a threat to Johnny Fly why would he try to isolate me in the match? Why does Johnny think that I'm an easy mark? Because Johnny thinks that Gage.........is a broken man.
Gage: Johnny is thinking what all of the other WCF wrestlers are thinking. That just because Gage Gannon lost, he's gonna decay away into oblivion, no pun intended. That Gage Gannon is just going to pick up his ball, take it and go home. But Johnny you have to account for something. Believe it or not Johnny, when I'M MARKED I GET BETTER!! As good as I am, when you think that you are going to take Gage Gannon out to pasteur, when you think that Gage Gannon is going to ride into the sunset, I come back harder and more determined than ever before!!! I'VE BLED BEFORE JOHNNY, I'M NOT AFRAID TO BLEED AGAIN!! I will personally see too it that you go through hell in this match!! I will personally see to it that you are thankful that you can even walk after this match is over. I am going to see to it Johnny that you know that you made it through this match barely by the skin of your teeth.
Gage: You think that your going to take retribution out on me, during this match? You think that your doing something noble by saying that this match is personal. Yeah, you bet your ass this match is personal. You just made it personal at XIII. All the hype that is surrounding this match, is about to be met with a fierce brutalityl. Your going to realize that by you attacking me at XIII, by you underestimating me, your going to realize that you opened up a can that you can't close. Your going to realize that you wrote a check that your ass can't cash. You want to speak in metaphors so much you son of a bitch, METAPHORICALLY IM GOING TO WHOOP YOUR ASS!
Hank Brown: Gage how much pleasure would it be for you to take the television title from Johnny Fly?
Gage: It's not about the television title Hank. No this is deeper than that. A guy puts a red x on Gage Gannon, this son of a bitch thinks that he is going to make his name off of me? OFF OF ME? This son of a bitch actually thinks that I'm just an easy walk in the park. Their's an advantage to bleeding, do you want to know what it is Hank?
Hank: Gage, yes I do?
Gage: Bleeding is almost orgasmic.....You see when you walk into a match not knowing what is going to happen your pensive, your nervous, your not sure what to expect, but upon realizing the sight of your own blood it does something to you. It's almost euphoric....because in that split second you realize that you have nothing to lose, and you have everything to gain. And I'm going to test that theory with Johnny Fly, because I want him to bleed. I want him to see his own blood and realize that he is in a war. Because I make no bones about it I am walking into slam with the sole purpose of showing Johnny Fly that anger get's you no where.
Gage: You Johnny are scared of what you see when you look across the ring at you. For the first time Johnny, the beads of sweat falls down your face, for the first time you realize that somebody sees past your tactics. You realize that for the first time your going to have to put your money truly where your mouth is. Your going to have to truly walk the walk to show that you are as bad as you say you are. You've deceived yourself into thinking that you where invincible when your merely lucky. Your opponents have been knocked down before but they never dared got back up. But everytime you knock me down I will always get up Johnny!
Gage: Every ounce of sweat, every ounce of blood, you may knock me down but I'll keep coming. And I'll keep coming, and I'll keep coming, over and over and over and over again. You wanna show me something Johnny, you wanna accuse me of my effort, yet I'm the one who bled in our match at XIII. I'm not the one who turned on the team. I'm glad that you have everybody watching this match. Because sometimes it's best if you let your actions speak louder than your words do. Sometimes it's best to go out there and put your foot in your opponent's ass.
Hank Brown: Gage what if Johnny does beat you at Slam?
Gage: Than Johnny Fly......is a lucky man. He's still going to be barely walking, and he's gonna know not to stick his foot in his mouth. But Johnny I wouldn't do you the diservice of putting anything tricky past you.
Hank Brown: Any final words Gage?
Yeah Johnny, you wanna use me as a stepping stone, well then you had better step hard.........
Hank Brown: Mr. Gannon, sorry I mean Gage, I was so delighted that you hired me again to interview you........
Gage puts his hand up as he takes his shades off and replaced with the smirk we are used to seeing is replaced with a scowl. Gage cocks his head to the side as he just glares at Hank Brown.
