The camera pans from the East River to show the entire New York City skyline lighting up a clear night sky and the empire state building covered in Green lights for St. Patty's Day. As the camera zooms in closer to Manhattan and descends down to the street level it passes building after building and eventually a green street sign that says "Mulberry Street". In the heart of New York City's Little Italy a man walks in to the frame dressed in silk black dress shirt and grey slacks, standing at 6'7 280 lbs, Tommy Greco is a physically imposing man. The camera begins to follow "T.G." as he makes his way down the street.
A man across the street screams out "Hey Tommy!!!" and "T.G." turns to see who it is before giving the head nod that says "How you doin?" as he continues down the street. He eventually comes to the world famous Ferrara's bakery with their trademark sign hanging over the entrance and opens the door for some tourists from Asia who walk out first saying "Thank You" in their heavily accented voice with Tommy simply smiling and nodding in return. He makes his way through the glass doors and is immediately greeted by a Hostess who comes from behind her counter.
Hostess: Hi, Mr. Greco, your table is waiting.
Tommy Greco: Thanks sweetie.
Despite the large line of people waiting to be seated the hostess escorts "T.G." to his booth in the back corner of the restaurant, slightly removed from the rest of the seating where he finally takes sits down.
Hostess: Here you go Mr. Greco.
Tommy Greco: Thanks hun, listen when this man comes in( he shows her a picture of George Anastasia) you bring him right over here.
Hostess: No problem Mr. Greco.
"T.G." pulls a wad of cash out of his pocket and hands the hostess a hundred dollar bill.
Tommy Greco: Take that for yourself.
Hostess (Smiling): Thank you Mr. Greco and when the gentleman comes in I'll be sure to send him this way.
As soon as the Hostess leaves, a waiter comes to the booth.
Waiter: Hi Mr. Greco, what will it be today? Just the usual?
Tommy Greco: How youse doin Mikey? Yea the usual but just double everything, someone is going to be joining me very shortly.
Mikey: Of course, just a minute.
Tommy Greco(Smiling): Thanks buddy.
"T.G." puts the wad of money back in his pocket as a short bald man with glasses is being led to the table by the Hostess. The short bald man is mob Expert George Anastasia syndicated columnist and host of Mob Scene.
Tommy Greco: Georgie boy! How you doin?
George Anastasia: Tommy long time.
Tommy Greco: Long time? You fucking telling me?( "T.G." looks over towards the hostess) Thanks hun.
Hostess: No problem Mr. Greco.
George Anastasia is dressed in a black sweater with beige khakis and is carrying a soft leather breifcase.
Tommy Greco: Have a seat, stay a while.
George Anastasia (Chuckles): I will... let me just get out some papers and get organized over here.
Tommy Greco: Sure, I ordered some stuff for the table and got you an espresso.
George Anastasia: Thanks Tommy.
George finally sits down and puts his briefcase on the inside of the booth with some papers on top and a pen and pad on the table.
Mikey approaches the table carrying two cups of espresso.
Tommy Greco: Thanks Mikey.
Mikey places the two cups of espresso on the table.
Mikey: The pastry will be right up.
As Mikey exits George takes a deep breath and is finally settled.
Tommy Greco: All set? And I just want to start off by saying I'm giving you the exclusive because when I was going through trial and all those fuckin' reporters and the media were dragging my family in to it you were the only one who remained professional.
George Anastasia: Well I appreciate that and I for one being an Italian American completely understand the dynamics of the situation so don't worry about it. Are you ready?
"T.G." takes a sip of his espresso.
Tommy Greco: Lets Go.
George Anastasia: Why don't we start by telling me how you got involved in "The Life"?
Tommy Greco: You see my dad was a part of it and ever since I was 8/9 years old... I grew up in this atmosphere. They used to always, you know dress me like a little gangster put a suit on me you know go against the wall take a picture, put a hand in my pocket with the hat to the side.
George Anastasia: Your dad was Francis Greco aka "Sonny" Greco?
Tommy Greco: That is correct.
George Anastasia: So what was it like having a dad who was the reputed Underboss of one of the five families?
Tommy Greco: My dad was my idol, I loved him. He was a great father, he was a great husband to my mom but I did see the other side of him a couple of times. I seen people shake at the name of my father. For instance I'd be playing little league and he'd walk on the field and everybody is lookin' at him and once or twice I'd notice the ball come over the plate and the umpire never call strike three. I mean I had the most walks every single year I'd play Little League. He'd never call strike three on me when he seen my dad.
Mikey comes back to the table carrying two cannoli, two sfogettelle and two napoleon and places them on the table as George continues writing and moves some of his papers off the table to make room.
Tommy Greco: Thanks Mikey.
Mikey smiles and nods.
George Anastasia: So it's safe to say you were born in to it?
Tommy Greco: This was my family and when you're a kid and you're slowly brought up in it, you think it's normal. You know my dad came here from Sicily in 1910 and he was one of four brothers and they were all tough guys. My uncle Carlo in the basement of one of the buildings in the neighborhood, a guy owed him money and didn't want to pay so my uncle hung him up and held a blow torch to his feet. He kept blow torchin' the guys feet till he paid. That was my uncle, everyone was afraid of him.
Tommy takes a bite of his cannoli as George fervently continues writing.
Tommy Greco: Eat, eat this stuff is great.
George Anastasia: No this stuff is great.
Tommy Greco(Chuckles): Hey whatever you say.
George Anastasia: So what made you start to consider that this life, that you knew all your life might not be the right life for you.
Tommy Greco: After I got indicted, I'm getting ready for trial and then last minute the day we're picking the Jury, I see my family, my wife, my daughters and I says to myself I gotta try to end this thing. I gotta end this thing. I go to my lawyers and say get me the plea lets end this thing. I'll plead guilty, get me the plea.
George Anastasia: What u plead guilty to?
Tommy Greco: Racketeering.
George Anastasia: Specifically?
Tommy Greco: Extortion in the construction business, Gambling, Loan sharking.
George Anastasia: All things you did do?
Tommy Greco: Yes all things I did do.
George Anastasia: So after you made that decision did you think people would let you out? Well first of all can you get out?
Tommy Greco: Sure why not?
George Anastasia: Because you know there's this old saying you can't get out of the mob.
Tommy Greco: Who said?
George Anastasia: All the movies, all the lore. The federal government.
Tommy Greco(Slightly Agitated): What makes them an authority on this? ...You know the movies they make great entertainment but it's not the real thing. The people in the street they're happy to see me go, more money out there for them.
"T.G." takes another sip of espresso and continues to periodically munch on his food. George who is so into the story and writing only picks up his head up to look at Tommy but he's barely touched anything.
George Anastasia: You know I gotta be honest, I don't know if this conversion is legit and not part of some act?
Tommy Greco: Let me tell you something Georgie the time for being a wise guy it's over. I know this. Law enforcement is on another level from what it used to be there's too many pictures. Microphones, Wiretaps...Rats.. The old neighborhoods are changing. The neighborhood's changed from Italians to the United Nations. You got Indian, Brazil, Pakistani...uh...Orientals, Orientals everywhere it's not how it was. The times are changing and I gotta change with them.
George Anastasia: I gotta say I'm quite impressed but why wrestling? Why not the salon in the Bronx?
Tommy Greco (Laughs): The hell I know about broads and their hair and all that bullshit. It's good for my wife, it'll keep her busy. Nah me? It's about the love I have for professional wrestling. You know I was a silent partner in ECW?
George Anastasia: I do remember vaguely hearing about that.
Tommy Greco: I grew up during Hulkamania and the Macho Man and then later with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash I just wanted to be a part of the industry so much luckily through a mutual friend Paul Heyman the founder of ECW was able to bring me in on a consulting position and it really got my appetite going but at the time I still had other family obligations.
George Anastasia: Now I'm just speculating but they say the business has changed, wrestling isn't what it was during the late 90s? What makes you think you'll be able to make the transition?
Tommy Greco: I'm going to be the man that brings back the real the sport of professional wrestling. Cutting real promos, selling and not having these cheap ass corny recycled gimmicks. I'm looking for toughness, I'm looking for a fight. Not gravediggers and pitchforks and characters that should be patients in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" let alone try to step in the ring. I'm looking for a fight, not soul searching or taking souls or any of that bullshit. I'm looking for a real fight. This is the WCF and that's the way it should be.
George Anastasia: How successful do you think you'll be?
Tommy Greco: I'm from the Bronx, Arthur Avenue where by the age of 5 you know how to fight. In the world I come from you go in alive and you come out dead and it's your best friend that pulls the trigger and there ain't a colder world then that. I lived it, I know what life and death is all about and not in some dream or usin my fuckin imagination, no! That's the life.
George Anastasia stops speed writing for a second and rummages through some of the papers on top of his briefcase. He grabs several sheets.
George Anastasia: What about your opening match there seems to be some tough competition out there.
Tommy Greco: Who? Colin Corona? Anyone named after a beer, I mean that says it right there. What's next? Billy Budweiser? He can bawitaba his ass back to Houston Texas because if he comes to Denver he might physically not be able to leave for very...very... long time.
George Anastasia: How about the Russian?
Tommy Greco: Dirty, dirty people, guy needs a bath more then he needs an ass kicking. I mean I heard stories of him in the gym getting out lifted by his broad and as far as I'm concerned that's where he belongs. In the gym and the shower. Hey I mean if this was a "World Strongest Man" competition, I'd put my money on him but as far as the sport of professional wrestling and a fight he might as well count his rubles and hop on the first jet back to Moscow. His Svetlana on the other hand. She can come to Denver and I'll be glad to show her that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
George Anastasia: Alex Richar-
Tommy Greco: Alice Richards looks more like a Prince Albert then actual competition. Another one that's "sadistic". I mean if anyone needed a new gimmick. The guy in Denver that gave an interview that I found so funny, so comical I can't believe this is the best the WCF has to offer. "Order that drink and it'll be your last" Ooooooo Scary. I'm shaking in my boots tough guy. This guy gotta stop livin' in denial, he obviously had his shit pushed in and he even said it himself, he's a people pleaser...A people pleaser that was in Jail, hmmmmm, you do the math. This guy dropped the soap and was renamed Alice on the inside. Then he's talkin' about cuttin off penises and this that and the other, it sounds like I'm goin up against a closet fanook. Honestly I think the whole story is bullshit, a shank that's a toothbrush when you sharpen it down it's not a slicer, it pierces. Like this. ("T.G." makes a stabbing motion) I mean this guy wouldn't last 5 minutes around friends of mine and the place I come from and he ain't gonna last 5 minutes in the ring..Anyway the bigger they are, the better the fall.
George Anastasia: In Mexico wrestling is almost a right of passage. What do you think about Fernando Rodriguez?
Tommy Greco: The Luchador. I don't think he's Mexican Georgie but it doesn't matter I don't even know if this guy is gonna show up, probably hiding out back in Spain. While you guys are exciting to watch, you're now stepping up to the major leagues kid...
And the best for last...
The man from hell Crisis. Really. Where evil walks. What am I? In an episode of twilight? or whatever my niece that's in high school watches.. Talkin' about being from evil or an offspring of Satan, I mean this guy thinks he's livin in the game Diablo. It's all bullshit, this guy oughta be committed to a fuckin' institution or maybe just get out of his room more often. I rather get this guy laid then kick his ass, I mean I kind of feel bad, it does sound like he had a bad childhood but who didn't? I saw some guy get whacked when I was 14, a guy I knew as uncle Vito. I mean killing family ain't that big a deal where I come from. Listen, go play dungeons and dragons start your army of darkness or on a serious note get all this Diablo soul stealing bullshit out of your head and start acting somewhat normal and I'll put you to work. You'll do collections because it does sound like you have potential it's just too bad you're living in a fantasy world instead of reality because come March 9th the reality is your ass is going to be feeling "The Guns", feeling "The Goods" and saying "Hello Gorgeous".
George Anastasia: Now there have been rumblings especially from Crisis about your dedication and you're real intentions.
Tommy Greco: Questioning my dedication? You don't fuckin get it huh? I can't go back! Going back is ending up in a box, six feet under or a 6x6 one. This is it for me. My first true passion, my first love is wrestling. You don't understand I was chosen for that life, I never chose it, it chose me. I always wanted to be a professional wrestler. It was a dream and now I'm choosing to fulfill that dream. Just like HBK in his Iron Man Match. Mark down this date George, because one day I'm going to be like Shawn after his match with Bret, holding WCF gold.
Almost all the food has been eaten except one Napoleon. George with a smile on his face just finishes writing.
George Anastasia: All fantastic stuff Tommy.
Tommy Greco: Listen Georgie, I said what I needed to say but this is taking way too long. I got this broad on 8th avenue I'm supposed to meet for dinner. Here...
"T.G" stands up and takes out his wad of hundreds, counts two and tosses them on the table. He slurps the rest of his espresso and walks out of the restaurant.
A man across the street screams out "Hey Tommy!!!" and "T.G." turns to see who it is before giving the head nod that says "How you doin?" as he continues down the street.
