(-(Beginning in the afternoon of Nov. 11 2016)-)
((Scene opens up in a luxury condo in Los Angeles, California. The room is made up of large portrait paintings on the wall with very modern sculptures throughout what appears to be a very elegant living room. Sitting on a part leather part suede large couch is Rise. Scrolling through his phone. In walks his girlfriend manager Alexis Martin wearing high white stiletto heels with an open backed short black and white dress on to show off her long legs. She takes a seat next to Rise on the couch as Rises sets his phone down on the marble coffee table directly in front of them as he sits back and runs his hands over his face to the back of his head and locks his fingers.)) ddcf
((Alexis)) What's wrong babe?
((Rise)) Just got a text from Seth. Just a little aggravated about it.
((Alexis)) Why's that?
((Rise)) He set me for another match this week....
((Alexis)) Why's that a bad thing? I thought you were alright and wanted another one?!
((Rise)) I'm fine and I do. But he put me in another match with 3 other guys again on the lower card. I get that you have to work your way up but someone of my athletic nature and talent should be a showcase not being scheduled with punks for a glorified playdate. One of the 3 is that punk ass bitch of a sore loser Mike Emerick again. So I guess if there is a silver lining to it, its that I'll get to treat his bitchmade ass..
((Alexis)) There you go babe! Look at it in a positive perspective. You will get your opportunity for revenge on that cheap shot he took at you after you beat him last week!
((Rise)) He ain't shit. And yeah that was cheaper then deer nuts and those are always under a buck! No, biggie though. I still walked out the winner and once again I'll prevail as the winner against his trash ass again.
((Alexis)) What about the other two? Is it those to fag sticks again?
((Rise)) *After a slight chuckle* No, no its not. Actually they apparently couldn't handle the depression of being defeated by me last week. Remember when they told me "My type of bravado went away with the Republicans." Well apparently me beating them coped with the Republicans sweeping away the elections was just too much for them and their will to live any longer.. There were both reportedly found dead with suicide notes according to the bottoms mom on his Facebook.
((Alexis)) Oh wow! Seriously?! Is it that serious that you take your own life over it?? Can't just move to Canada like all the other Killary supporters are claiming to do?
((Rise)) I guess not. Not really my concern nor do I even care the slightest bit. It is what it is.. Or in their case, was what it was. But the other two that I have this week are making their WCF debuts. One's name is Biff Mustache and I couldn't even tell you where dudes from. I don't know what the fuck kind of name that is but I can tell you he will 'Biff his shit' when I get ahold of him. All I have on him is what's on his WCF.com bio page. Searched for some tape on him but can't even find that so he must be a real armature.
((Alexis)) You and your damn tape! You're always studying it. For everything! I've known you since high school and you're forever studying tape. I remember when I use to text you senior year to ask if you wanted to grab a bite to eat or something and it was always, "I can't right now, I'm watching tape. I have a big game this week."
((Rise)) I developed that habit from my football days in high school yes. And that habit got me my full ride scholarship to Miami where I was very successful using the same habits and practice. That scholarship also got me my degree and that's gotten me.. Or us rather, everything that we have. It allowed us to live the lifestyles that we have been and continue to live. You know a very wise person once said, "Talent is cheaper than table salt. What seperates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work." Watching tape and studying your opponent you can see how hard they work or how much they lack work. You can learn a lot more then just moves, habits and ability from watching tape on a person. Their body language, the way they carry themselves, the look they have in their eye at clutch times, in the big moments can tell you how they are going to perform when its all on the line. I don't care if it was a last place team I was playing that week or like here bottom feeeders on the roster. I will work harder then anyone and everyone for that victory. The feeling of beating someone, winning at something, being superior to someone at something is the most premium feeling ever. Nothing like it. The self satisfaction, and the sense of accomplishment knowing that you out strengthened, out smarted, out preformed, and flat out, outworked someone and took and got what they wanted from them has nothing like it on this planet. I will stop at nothing to be the best at anything and everything I put myself into. Kevin Gates once said, "When you stand for something, stand for it all the way, not halfway." Well when I put myself into something or do something I do it all the way not halfway. Otherwise what's really the point?
((Alexis)) That's why I love you so much. You put your all into everything you do and you're so very passionate about it. You never make it hidden or shy about where you stand either! Even with me. I've been very lucky to have you for 10 years now. Just missing one thing though.
((Rise)) Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you want. And eventually you'll get it. Just think of it this way. It took the Cubs 108 years to finally get their ring! haha!
((Alexis)) Oh shut it!
((Rise)) I'm just kidding! Anyways, I was watching some promo's from around WCF earlier while you were out shopping and I tell you what. Some of these guys are just plain goofies! I did come across a few that are worth mentioning though. Let's start with this guy Jesse McCoy. He's the third guy in my match and he put out a little promo earlier. Dudes some redneck hillbilly looking mother fucker, or actually sister fucker is probably more accurate. Looks inbred as fuck and is part of some biker bullshit or something like that. I don't know exactly what it is but he's got some Daddy Uncle dude who thinks he can actually make it here in WCF and that he'll actually become something. It's just really unfortunate that Seth tossed him into the ring with me from the get go. I hope he doesn't go all Millennial Falcon and go kill himself after the match. I mean he's got like seven hundred eight two brother and sister cousins that all lived in the backwoods of some Podunk town in Kentucky with him or his Mother Auntie or something like that. He thinks he's a real Billy badass. Out running around 'having fun' beating little back wood bar boys up with a baseball bat after he ties them up. That's some real bitch shit. Like who the fuck does that? He's got another thing coming on Sunday at Slam. I ain't no little hick town boy that's gonna be tied up when we fight. I am a world class athlete with superior talent and harder work then anyone this cats ever come across. You also won't have your little baseball bat with you. Actually you know what? You should just go ahead and bring that with you. So I can crack you in the knee cap and face with it AFTER I beat the 'ram piss' out of you with my bare hands! You ain't shit "sonny boy" and I'll more then show you that on Sunday. I just don't get what is with Seth letting these lard ass backwood pieces of shit and queer cakes into WCF. I mean shit, you found a five star athlete like me and you have a few others. Don't you think you can find a little more? Or at least showcase them together? I mean I've seen a few around here that seem like they'd be a bit better for ratings if I were to face off against them rather then these scrubs. I'm a known athlete across the country! I can and WILL bring ratings AND money to this company! Two guys in particular I really wouldn't mind kicking the teeth in of are Joey Flash and even more so then him this friggin *Does quotes with his fingers* "Real Deal" Jason O'Neal. That Jason O'Neal character thinks he's the hottest thing walking. Alexis you should see the promo of this clown. Completely disrespectful of this company and hard work. He doesn't appreciate anything. I'd really appreciate getting my hands around that ass clowns throat and choking the life out of him after literally kicking him in the teeth. I don't even care about taking that championship from him I just want to square off against him. Don't get me wrong though. The Alpha Championship is the first goal on my list as it should be for all newcomers here in WCF so yes eventually I will be taking that. Weather it be from him or someone else remains to be seen but I can sit here and assure you as sure as today will turn into tonight that, that will be the first belt I get ahold of here barring some kind of crazy other opportunity that presents itself. Not sure what exactly it is that you want me to do to get your attention but I will most definitely have it here way sooner then later just know that!
((Alexis)) Are you calling people out?
((Rise)) Sure am! They will see that I am serious about this wrestling business here real soon. I'm not here to play games. I'm here to make money and win, win, and win some more on the way to winning multiple championships. I'm about this life right now and they can try me if they want to. I will prevail. I will Rise to the top. This winning thing, I'm true to it not new to it. And its already been started and I anticipate it is going to escalate very, very quickly. I will stop at no cost! I put in work like nobody else and soon as Seth opens his eyes and realizes that the rest of the world will get to see and enjoy my talents like they are owed. It's within Seth's best interest of his company to catch wind of it quickly! The quicker he figures it out, the quicker he makes more money.
((Alexis)) Babe, we have plenty of money don't get so worked up about it. They will find out sooner or later!
((Rise)) That's why I said Seth would make more money. It's not about the money to me. It's about showcasing my God given talents and abilities. But speaking of money.. We have to go, I have a meeting in Vegas in a few hours. Pack a bag because after the night in Vegas we're going to Topeka, Kansas for the weekend.
((Alexis)) Who are you meeting in Vegas? And why Topeka? Where does Seth come up with these places?
((Rise)) I have to meet a former associate of mine there. He wants me to look over some papers on some investments he is thinking about making. Noah will also be there. He's coming to Topeka with us for my match. As for Seth, I have no idea where he gets these places from. It'd be nice to do a show in Orlando or Miami one of these times so I can sleep in one of my own beds. I have 2 houses and I'm seemingly never at either of them. Hell, I'll even rent the Amway Center out for the dude.
((Alexis)) Alright let me just grab a few things and we'll be on our way.
((Scene cuts as Alexis begins to stand up off the couch.))
((Scene then reopens with Rise sitting at a roulette table fiddling with chips in his fingers. He's wearing a silver suit over a black shirt with a silver tie. A man wearing a black suit over black with a black tie then walks up and sits on the empty stool next to him.))
((Rise)) Hey, Jimmy how the hell have ya been man?! Good to see ya its been a little while!
((Jimmy)) Hey man, I've been good! I seen you doing your little wrestling gig. Congrats on the debut win! You looked like a natural out there!
((Rise)) Yeah, it was pretty fun, I have another one in Topeka on Sunday. Make sure to tune in! It's gonna be even better this week! I'm going to put on a real show for everyone. You'll see! So what do ya have for me?
((Jimmy)) Let's go grab a table and get a drink to discuss this over. This really isn't the place to do it here.
((Rise and Jimmy stand up and walk over away from the gambling tables into a lounge like area of the casino and sit down at a tall round cocktail table and have a seat. As they sit a waitress is already at the table.))
((Waitress)) What can I get you gentlemen to drink?
((Rise)) Ill take a double shot of your Macallan 55 please, and what ever this fellow would like.
((Jimmy)) I'll do the same.
((Rise)) Oh and miss can we get those neat please?
((Waitress)) Sure thing sir, I will be right back with that for you gentlemen. *She walks away*
((Rise)) We don't need no ice diluting down such a fine tasting beverage. So, let's get down to business. What do ya got for me?
((Jimmy)) *As he reaches inside his coat pocket and pulls out a few folded up documents, opens them up and sets them on the table* Well I was approached last week buy this guy who is wanting me to buy his company. They all look good and are pulling very good profits. Increasing every quarter over the last 3 years actually and at a consistent increase. His company has 4 sister companies that are all doing roughly the same on a percentage base increase just on a smaller dollar scale, and two of those have sister companies doing the same.
((Rise)) This is already starting to sound like a growing Ponzi scheme that he's trying to sell you. And trust me I know all about those as you know.
((Jimmy)) No that's the thing. It's not though. I did extensive research, and even pulled the IRS files on each of them and they have all been audited each of the last 2 years. Even the sister companies. They're legit. The guy is just trying to get out of the business and move to Dubai to live happily ever after with some Russian chick that's gold digging the fuck out of his old ass just waiting for him to die off.
((Waitress returns and sits down 2 coasters, one in front of each of them and then the 2 glasses on top of them.))
((Waitress)) That'll be $2100 even.
((Rise pulls out his wallet and hands her a bunch of bills, she starts counting them.))
((Waitress)) Sir this is 26, its only 21.
((Rise)) Yeah cool, I know. Buy yourself one. Enjoy.
((Waitress)) Thank you so much! If you guys need anything else let me know!
((Rise)) Sure thing, no problem. *She walks away*
((Jimmy)) So anyways, I am going to buy it. It's a package deal so they all come together.
((Rise)) So if you already made up your mind that you're buying them why did you ask for my advice?
((Jimmy)) Not advice, but help. You see, there are these 4 sister companies, only 2 of them have companies underneath them. So I was wondering if you could help me find 2 more for the other 2. It would make it a lot easier if they each had one and then someday those could have their own as well. I would just need to find the investors for them until I could have them all turning profit.
((Rise)) No, not a chance in hell! This thing already looks like he had a Ponzi scheme in progress and doing what you're wanting to do is exactly what a Ponzi scheme is. So even if its not already you're about to make it one. Trust me, I know! If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and walks like a duck.. well then its probably a duck.
((Jimmy)) Look man, I'm just trying to have you help me find investors or to help me create 2 more companies for these. Not put your name on anything or anything like that. Please, I need the help. Somethings in my portfolio have gone to shit over the last year and I need to get it rebuilt.
((Rise)) Yeah well I am not about to help you recruit people to help you run a Ponzi Scheme. I've lived that life, I know how it goes. It almost took my life. I am taking the blessing that I got from the situation and the gift of what happened in the courts and running as fast and as far as I can from this.
((Jimmy)) Okay, well should the ship start to sink what's your advice? What should I do? I mean you got off really lightly and got to keep almost everything except your business assets. They even let you keep the hundreds of millions in your personal accounts.
((Rise)) My advice? *Chugs his drink down* Would be to not do it, and if you must do it. Hope you can get a lawyer that is part of the booster club at the college you won a national championship for, and hope the judge is the brother to your head coach of that national championship team. But, seeing as you didn't play anything in college that will be hard to do.. So again my best advice is just don't do it and if you do, well you don't even know me. Have a good one Jimmy. *Begins to walk away*
((Jimmy)) After everything my father did for you, you can't just help me with this small favor?
((Rise)) If your father were still alive he'd be disgusted at the thought of you wanting to do this and would be deeply disappointed in me if I told you anything other then not to do it.
((Rise walks away, proceeding to a row of slot machines where Alexis and his cousin Noah are playing, he taps them both on the shoulder and signals for them to go without saying a word. They both stand up and begin to follow him. As they walk across the casino Rise looks over at Jimmy still sitting in the lounge and just shakes his head. The 3 of them continue on to an elevator, just as they approach the door opens and they step in.))
((Noah)) What was that all about?
((Rise)) Nothing just a waste of my damn time. Fucker was trying to have me help recruit companies and investors for a fucking Ponzi scheme. I'm out of that life. I can't believe he even asked me with how high profile my case was. Any kind of investment that I get involved in is going to be heavily monitored and watched after. Stupid just stupid.
((Alexis)) Well at least you learned from your mistake. Just unfortunate that people from the same exact firm didn't.
((Elevator dings and the door opens. The three step out and go to the room directly across the hall from the elevator. Rise pulls out a card key and opens the door, the three step inside. ))
((Rise)) So, the piolet is going to be at the jet at 8 AM. I stocked all the beverages and amenities up for us, including your shit Noah. When we get to Topeka I am going to go find and hit a gym to do some light lifting. You two are welcome to join if you'd like.
((Noah)) Thanks cuz! But what's this shit I see on your twitter? Wanting to kick Jason O'Neal and Joey Flash in the teeth?
((Rise)) Yeah, I was just watching some of their promos earlier and they're obnoxious as fuck. They actually square off against one another this week. Wouldn't mind seeing them destroy each other. But for the time being I need to stay focused on what I have in front of me this week with this Biff fuck, Emereick idiot, and fat boy McCoy whose out making his own bad decisions right now. Sucks for them because I'll be taking out some serious frustration out on them all after that waste of time meeting and the aggravation of not facing any real talent just yet. My time will come. I'll just have to put it in my own hands to make sure it comes sooner rather then later. Just keep on Rising.. I'm going to get some sleep though. We have an early flight. Noah take that bedroom. Or the couch out here I don't care.
((Noah)) Alright, thanks cuz. Goodnight!
((Rise)) Sure thing dude. Ill see ya in the AM. C'mon babe.
((Scene cuts as Alexis follows Rise into the master bedroom of the suite and the door shuts.))
