Talon is dressed in a pair of navy blue slacks and a white dress shirt, tailored to fit him perfectly. Ally is wearing a large black peacoat and a pair of jeans… They each carry their own bags, chatting as they walk through the airport terminal.
Ally, “I’m just saying that you should think about it… What’s it going to hurt?”
Talon lets out a sigh as he shakes his head.
Talon, “Dark Fest? It’s a cool sounding idea, but I don’t want to do it. Battle Royal’s don’t test your skill, its luck, your alliances, and then adding the ladder makes it career shortening… I’ve never shied away from career shortening actions, but to do so in a match like this… I’d rather be Spotlight Champion by then and bypass the entire thing…”
Ally, “Ok… well I think the MVP of the HWA should be in the match, it would be good for publicity, and it might help you repair that relationship with Willyard, ya know?”
Talon continues to walk until he gets to the moving sidewalk. He stops and turns to face his sister.
Talon, “Willyard and I are fine, he’s a hard ass, he’s not going to ever want to sit and have a beer with me. He’s just that way. I’m sure he’s good right now, he’s got his former client as Spotlight Champ, and he’s sent a message to the entire roster that the Spotlight division is the most exciting thing to watch in the HWA right now… and the Tag Division is now arguably the second most exciting… So he’s a happy man about now, I’m sure.”
Ally sighs and looks away as she replies.
Ally, “Logan’s going to sign up for it…”
Talon snaps quickly in reply.
Talon, “What was that?”
Ally, “I said, Logan is signing up for the darkfest match.”
Talon, “…and? I don’t care what Logan does, we have different personalities, we are different people. If he wants to do the match, more power to him, but I’m not interested in dropping my name in the ‘black goblet’… I’m just not feelin’ it.”
As Talon and Ally’s conversation continues, they step off of the moving sidewalk, and find themselves in the parking area of the airport. Before they can walk to Talon’s car, a flood of reporters rush them barking questions like rabid dogs.
Talon, “WHOA! Calm down… I’ll take a few questions, but you guys have to chill.”
Talon points over to the first reporter he sees.
Reporter, “Mr. Wilkinson, what are your thoughts on DNA’s comments about you, the NWO and the potential pairing of two of you vs them at Havoc?”
Talon, “Anton and Davis have been our friends for over a year now, so I hate to see it come to this, but if they really want to get a piece, then I’ll be more than willing to dish out a few suplexes to satisfy their craving for an beat down… As for Havoc, Im not interested in facing them, plain and simple.”
Reporter, “So what would you like to see at Havoc?”
Talon, “I’d personally like to get a piece of TNT… I know that the Archangels are number one contenders to the Tag Team titles, but after the beating Logan and I dished out to them at Havoc, I was kind of hoping that Logan and I could team up and show them up before the Angel’s take their titles…“
Reporter, “So you and Logan want to team up? Does this mean that he is the long rumored next member of the NWO?”
Talon smirks and looks at Ally before replying.
Talon, “Yes… We want to team up and beat the life out of TNT, but it’s not because he’s nWo, at least not yet…”
Reporter 2, “Talon, how does it feel to be the HWA MVP?”
Talon smirks before replying with a light tone.
Talon, “It feels great, as soon as I get another week off, I’m GOING TO DISNEY LAND!”
Ally giggles lightly, but suddenly stops as the reporter looks at her and asks his next question.
Reporter 2, “Ally, are you pregnant with Logan’s child?”
Talon’s fist clinches tightly as he steps toward the reporter, causing the reporter to cower slightly.
Ally, “No… it is not true at all. I am not pregnant.”
The reporter steps back into the crowd of reporters in fear as the next steps forward.
Reporter 3, “Ally, will you ever consider signing a HWA contract?”
Ally looks up to Talon who replies for her.
Talon, “No, she will not… now if you are done with asking me questions, we are leaving, do not bring my sister into this right now.”
Reporter 3, “Ok Talon, we heard from Hans, that only some of the pranks pulled at Havoc were a result of his and Butch… specifically the “GAY-Team” skit, and the memo to Ronnie… any thoughts?”
Talon shakes his head and smirks as he rubs his hands together.
Talon, “Hans and Butch… they pulled a little DX move at Havoc and played some games… I thought they were funny. I know I wasn’t happy to see a tarantula in the locker room, and Ronnie wasn’t the happiest guy when he got paint dumped on him… but hey, all’s fair right? I mean, we beat them down and spray painted their backs like swine, so they get to come back with some laughs… fair enough. I don’t really care…”
Talon pauses, letting out a chuckle.
Talon, “The GAY-Team was pretty entertaining, I mean, it wasn’t the most well thought out bit… but it was funny to see someone put so much time into getting a laugh at our expense… it’s just further proving that we are on everyone’s mind, and most people’s hit list.”
Reporter, “and that doesn’t bother you?”
Talon smirks, his arrogant and cocky tone seeping through.
Talon, “Why would it? I’ve been a polarizing figure in this company since the day I stepped foot in the ring and raised the RWF title above my head while I stood on the crumble bodies of the HWA Champion Renegade, and the entire HWA roster… When I won Ring Master, I was again loved by half of the roster, the other half hating me because of my mentor, and now Hall of Famer… Mike Dredge… It’s been that way since day one, and I really anticipate it to continue or get worse until the day I retire. The nWo isn’t about who loves you, or who hates you… it’s about domination… and that’s what we are all setting out to do. Hans and Butch will get theirs in time… and no, that’s not a threat, I’m saying that they are not necessarily priority one at the moment… Ronnie and Hans… that’s a focus, Eddie and AC… that’s a focus… and myself, I’m focusing on winning the spotlight title… Butch is just in the way, it’s probably eating him up that no one really cares about destroying him right now, he’s not used to being that guy, the superstar that is big, but not in anyone’s cross hairs… so instead, Im sure he’ll say “we are all in his crosshairs so it doesn’t matter” “don’t wake the rampant lion” “one man tartan army yada yada” but in the end, he’s just clawing for some attention… He’s a great competitor, but right now, no one cares…”
Reporter, “That took care of my next question… So how about this… Buff Bridges, you guys had some words with each other during the build up for Havoc… any chance of that continuing?”
Talon scoffs as he runs a hand across his chin.
Talon, “Buff did more than anyone expected when he actually refuted my statements and tried to stand up for himself… I was surprised, pleasantly surprised… not that he listened, or found the ability to speak again, but that I got under his skin. That was the aim… to rustle feathers, to again make everyone a little uncomfortable, on edge… I wasn’t seeking attention, I was seeking REACTION.”
Talon pauses and gazes into space for a moment, smiling broadly as he looks back at the reporter.
Talon, “Every action has a reaction right? …honestly, Buff Bridges may annoy me with his way of conducting himself in the company these days, but it’s just that… an annoyance, he isn’t any different than he was when I arrived, so I’ve got little to say about him now that I haven’t said before… so if he wants a match some time, get it booked, and if not, then I guess we’ll reserve the trash talk for when we get to square off again… so until then, best of luck Buff, hold that title tight.”
Reporter 4, “Talon, have you heard the rumors of “The Other Side” being held in your home state of North Carolina? Possibly Raleigh, Fayetteville, or Charlotte…. If that happens, would you be interested in competing in the Dark Fest match with a chance to win a shot at the spotlight or tag team titles?”
Talon looks at Ally, who is visibly hoping for the “yes” from Talon.
Talon, “I’d love to do a show in North Carolina, we haven’t done one since I signed with the HWA, but as far as the dark fest match goes, I’m still leaning towards not competing in the match… that is of course, subject to change, but by then, Im hoping to already be the spotlight champion, and if not, then I hope to be challenging for the spotlight title…”
Talon looks at his watch and decides it’s time to leave… he begins to wrap up the Q&A but he is interrupted.
Reporter 4, “Mr. Wilkinson, before you go one last question…”
Talon sighs.
Talon, “Go ahead…”
Reporter 4, “What’s next for the nWo, what do you have planned for Havoc?”
Talon winks and smirks slyly as he walks away…
Talon, “Your guess is as good as mine… guess you’ll have to wait and find out.”
The scene fades as Talon and Ally get into Talon’s Chevy Tahoe and drive back toward East Village.
