Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge
Chicago, Illinois
--------------------------
* We open inside of the Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge in Chicago, Illinois. The cameras pan around the building to show a variety of customers enjoying the friendly atmosphere and fine Japanese dining. We look behind the bar to find a large wall displaying a collection of awards the restaurant received from the Chicago Tribune. The camera pans directly below the awards to show images of Butch and Wisdom Parker with a text found below that reads “Do Not Serve These People”. A few seconds later a man enters through the front door and begins walking towards the back of the restaurant. He makes it all the way to the back of the place and takes a seat at a table. The cameras move around the table to reveal the man as the same reporter that was seen questioning Wisdom Parker. A waitress approaches the table with a small dish containing a sushi sample *
Waitress: Sushi?
* The reporter turns his attention towards the waitress *
Reporter: Excuse me?
Waitress: You want to try sushi?
Reporter: No, that’s okay. But I could use a glass of merlot.
* The waitress smiles and nods at the man. She moves away from the table and marks the man down for a glass of wine as he begins to make himself comfortable at the table. Suddenly, the presence of a large man dressed in black clothing moves into the frame and sits at the table across from the reporter. He casually removes his hat and sunglasses. When he raises his head up the man is revealed as the HWA All Star Champion, Michael James. A few seconds later the waitress returns to the table with a glass of merlot. She places the glass on top of the table and turns her attention to James. The two begin a conversation in Japanese which appears to be causing the young waitress to blush. After taking his order she turns away from the table and moves back towards the kitchen *
Reporter: Cute girl.
* He takes a sip of the merlot while keeping his eyes locked on the waitress *
Michael James: She’s pregnant.
* The reporter turns his attention away from the girl upon revelation of her condition *
Reporter: You sure about that?
Michael James: I’m positive.
* The reporter puts down the glass of wine and looks up at James *
Reporter: Good to know.
* He starts pulling a few things out of his briefcase in preparation of the interview with James. He places a small audio recording device on the table and hooks up a set of headphones to the recorder *
Reporter: Give me a second here and we’ll be ready to get this thing started. Testing…1…2.
* James reaches inside of his jacket and pulls out a small flask. He removes the cap and takes a swig of Sake while the reporter continues to test his equipment *
Reporter: It looks like we’re good to go. I’ll try to get these questions out of the way as quickly as possible since we’re both working on a tight schedule. Sound good?
Michael James: Hai.
* The reporter looks down at a manuscript he printed out containing a selection of question he has for James *
Reporter: How about we start with some of the comments and allegations you have been making towards the character of Wisdom Parker.
Michael James: Wait a second. Allegations? What the #### are you talking about?
Reporter: You know exactly what I’m talking about. A few days ago you made several derogatory statements about Wisdom; accusing her of being a racist and openly unfaithful to her husband Butch Parker.
Michael James: And?
Reporter: And I think you need to successfully elaborate those claims with some actual proof if you want to be taken seriously.
* James rolls his eyes and leans back in his chair *
Michael James: First off, nothing I have ever said about that b###h can be defined as an accusation or allegation. You want to know why? Because the proof speaks for itself no matter how many excuses Wisdom wants to pull out of her ass. I called her a bigot and a racist because that’s exactly what she has proven to be. It’s like I told Eddie and Boomer a few days ago. If you really want proof all you have to do is check out her material. Is it my fault she decided to make an ass out of herself by attacking me for being “slant eyed”? No, it’s not. Is it my fault she tried to get the upper hand with some stereotypical remark about me running to the hills in fear of Godzilla? Of course it isn’t. Wisdom did those things on her own because that’s the kind of person she is. And no matter how many fraudulent apologies she spits out of her snatch, no one is buying her bullshit. I don’t believe her and neither does anyone with half a ####ing brain. What Wisdom needs to realize is that she can’t change the past. She ####ed up and now that she’s exposed she expects constant forgiveness for her mistakes. I hate to be the one to break it to her but that isn’t going to happen. Unless she can find a way to arrange a threesome with Marty McFly and Doc Brown there is nothing she can do to change the result of this personal catastrophe. I’m sure she will continue to try but it’s like I said before. No one is going to accept anything she has to say.
Reporter: What about the claims you made about her supposed promiscuous behavior?
* The waitress approaches the table carrying a plate of sushi samples. She places it on top of the table in front of James. She hands him his drink and the two nod towards one another with a slight bow while speaking Japanese. She turns away from the table as James takes a sip from his drink *
Michael James: Let me ask you something. You got a wife?
Reporter: I don’t think that’s any of your business--
Michael James: Just answer the question, douche bag.
* The reporter releases a sigh of frustration *
Reporter: Yes, I do. Why do you ask?
Michael James: Because I want to know how you would feel if your wife had an unhealthy obsession towards the biggest rival of your career.
Reporter: Well, it really depends on the situation. If my rival was someone like Brad Pitt--
Michael James: Let me put it to you this way. When it comes to the overall passion of Wisdom Parker, there is only ten percent of her actual attention directed towards her husband and daughter. The rest of it goes towards her impossible dream of being with the one man she knows she can never have, the HWA All Star Champion Michael James.
* The reporter looks away from James and scoffs in disbelief *
Michael James: You don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to. I have always said that personal opinions are irrelevant to the truth. Wisdom didn’t think her acts of bigotry would explode in her face like the cocks of so many homeless strangers but it looks like she was wrong about that as well.
Reporter: That still doesn’t explain the motive behind your claims of Wisdom’s supposed infidelity.
Michael James: As far as I’m concerned I don’t owe you or anyone else any type of explanation. People that have been watching HWA for the last year will tell you the exact same thing. When I speak, Wisdom can’t help but give me her undivided attention. When I produce entertainment through the pain and suffering of her egomaniacal husband, she has to make an emergency trip to the bathroom and rub one out. It’s no secret. Wisdom is obsessed with the Personification of Perfection and she’s the only one who refuses to admit it. And I’ll be honest with you. The feeling is not mutual. When I first arrived and began my war with Butch Parker she was the last person I was expecting to get in my face. I didn’t expect Butch to be the type of guy that needs to have a woman fight his battles for him. I knew he was an idiot but not once did I suspect him of being a coward. But you know what? Wisdom proved me wrong. She proved that no matter what kind of obstacle is put in Butch’s way he can always rely on a cracked out hooker to be the first one to defend his honor. And I was fine with that. If Butch wanted to claim the heart of a champion behind the confines of a scabbed up vagina it wasn’t any of my concern.
* James takes another sip of his drink. He uses a pair of chopsticks to pick up some of the sushi. He stuffs it into his mouth and swallows the food down his throat *
Michael James: But when the b###h started following me around like a lost ####ing dog, that’s when things started to get weird.
Reporter: What do you mean?
Michael James: You just need to see the situation from my point of view. Why would someone like Wisdom Parker spend every last second of her attention devoted towards a man she claims to hate? First of all, women are emotional creatures. If they are passionate about something they will display their emotions by dedicating all of their time and energy towards their initial goal. Wisdom on the other hand, is a very unstable woman. She has been living with denial for so long she can’t remember what the truth is anymore. You see, Wisdom is just like Casey Anthony. When you spend most of your life spreading lies and deceit it eventually becomes a regular state of mind. Wisdom wants the world to believe she isn’t attracted to me so she puts on a front to use as a distraction. The only problem is that she tends to break those distractions on a regular basis. She can say she doesn’t want me but if that was the case why does she watch my promos with three fingers stuck inside of her snatch? The truth is Wisdom has always been attracted to success. She flocked to Butch Parker back in 2004 when he was a worthy competitor and now that I’m the new face of the HWA she can’t help but flock to me. It’s like I said before. The feeling isn’t mutual. Unlike Butch, I don’t need a crack ##### fighting my battles for me. I didn’t need anyone’s support to help me win the All Star Championship from Judas Mercury so I sure as #### won’t need it when I take the World Championship from Butch.
Reporter: So, what are you trying to say about Wisdom? That she’s a gold digger as well? I find that hard to believe. She’s been with the same guy for years and he just now took back the world title. If she was really a gold digger Wisdom would have left Butch a long time ago.
Michael James: Not if she was stuck on her ass with an unidentified abomination brewing in her uterus. That’s the only reason she is still with Butch. It’s kind of a genius move on her part if you think about it.
* James leans forward in his seat and takes another bite of the sushi *
Michael James: You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that Butch Parker is not an intelligent man. Chances are, Wisdom could probably convince Butch to do anything she wanted him to do without question. And I’m not blaming him for being loyal to his wife. In most situations that’s a quality that people can admire. In this case, it just happens to be another example of Wisdom’s treachery to the man she claims to be the center of her world. I mean, what better way to keep cushy lifestyle with Butch than to convince him he’s going to be a Father? That way she can keep her constant infidelity in the dark while Butch spends the next eighteen years taking care of some kid that doesn’t even belong to him. Usually, it’s the type of scenario you would see coming straight out of the trailer park or the latest episode of Jerry Springer. And to tell you the truth I never expected Butch Parker to be the kind of man who would lower his standards to that level. But you know what? Love can make you do stupid things. In the case of Butch Parker, being manipulated into raising the child of a homeless crackhead can make you do stupid things. Anyone can look at that ####ing troll and tell it doesn’t belong to him. If you ask around the locker room people will tell you the same thing. Wisdom Parker is a ####ing #####. When I first got here people said they used to call her the human door knob because everyone has had their turn with her at some point in time.
But not me.
Not now.
Not ever.
* James takes another bite of sushi and leans back in his seat. He puts the chopsticks down and takes another swig of his drink. He directs his attention towards a television monitor that happens to be running some of the footage from Wisdom’s interview with the press. He smiles when Wisdom begins to apologize to the Asian community. He begins to speak under his breath in Japanese *
Reporter: Have you been paying attention to any of this, James?
Michael James: Not really.
Reporter: Well, you should take some time and watch the reports. Your comments and accusations did a number on this woman’s reputation.
Michael James: So what do you want me to do about it?
Reporter: Giving her a simple apology could be a good start.
* James turns his attention to the reporter with a look of slight shock on his face *
Michael James: #### that. Wisdom created this mess so she’s the only one that can do anything about it. I’m not going to apologize because she can’t keep track of her own mistakes. It’s like I told you before. She isn’t a smart person. She’s a ####ing idiot who doesn’t take time to think before she opens her mouth. Is that my fault? No, it’s not. If she was smart like me she wouldn’t have made those comments in the first place. She would have kept her mouth shut or found a way to approach the situation like a professional. She didn’t do that. She acted on passion and emotion and that’s exactly why Wisdom is stuck in the middle of a war she can’t possibly win. I’m sure she will lie to herself and Butch by claiming premeditated victory but everyone knows that isn’t going to happen. And you know what? I could care less if my words end up destroying her reputation. If that’s an example of what happens when the truth is revealed then maybe she would be better off not being a part of the HWA at all. I know if I was to reveal all of my secrets it would be do nothing more than bring additional praise to an already flawless record. Wisdom on the other hand seems to be living a tarnished life. I don’t have that problem. I’m living the life of a champion. If she thinks there’s something she can possibly do to change that then I ####ing dare her to try. I’m usually not the kind of guy who goes around beating women but I think I can make an exception this time. I don’t know about you but my money says this will be the first time she has a foot stuffed inside of her mouth instead of the usual set of unprotected testicles.
* James gains sight of the waitress and calls out to her. She nods at him and a few seconds later she approaches the table with his bill. He removes his wallet from the back pocket of his slacks and pulls out a credit card. He hands it to the girl with the bill and says something to the waitress in Japanese. She turns away from the table and moves toward the front of the restaurant *
Michael James: Despite what Wisdom wants to believe, I didn’t sign with the HWA to slander their family name. They decided to draw first blood and I reacted like any rational champion would. If that’s the perception they want to live with then there isn’t much I can do to change their way of thinking. But then again, I don’t really give a shit about their pointless opinions. They aren’t the ones who turned the entire company upside down in the blink of an eye. That was me. They aren’t the ones leading the charge with an undefeated record. That’s me. Anything they have done in the HWA, I can do better. You know why? It’s because I’m better than both of those assholes combined. Unlike the Parkers, I don’t have a test tube rejection weighing me down or blocking my opportunities. If I want something all I have to do is take it. I wanted the All Star Championship so I took it from Judas Mercury. I was sick of listening to Bryan Deas so I broke both of his legs. It’s only going to be a matter of time until I’m sick of looking at Butch and Wisdom Parker. Hopefully, both of them will learn their place in the company before it comes to that. If not I should have a lot of fun putting the Parker family on the shelf the same way I have done to so many others. And yes, I know. They say it isn’t possible. But you know what? I beg to differ. I say anything is possible and so far no one has been able to prove me wrong. They said I would never be a champion. They said I would never make it this far. I wonder what they would say if they knew I was just getting started. Then again, that would require having to listen to them speak and I sure as hell don’t want to be the one to fall on that bullet.
* The waitress approaches the table and hands James his credit card back with a receipt. She thanks him for his business and turns away from the table once again. James finishes off his drink and slams the glass down on the table *
Reporter: That should be enough for a full article. Do you have any objections to the idea of having your response becoming a matter of public record?
Michael James: Why? You gonna blast our story all over CNN or some shit?
Reporter: Well, no. But there are a lot of people who are going to be interested in your reply to the Parker’s press release. Just don’t be surprised too if you find this quickly becoming a subject of attention with the social media.
Michael James: I’ll keep that in mind.
* He stands up and casually makes his exit from the table. He moves through the frame leaving the reporter sitting alone at the table with his glass of merlot. The cameras follow James as he makes his way out of the restaurant and begins walking southbound along a busy street *
* The scene opens inside of a large room used as the editing floor for Black Eye Entertainment. Michael James is found seated behind a computer monitor with a determined look on his face as he cuts footage from a recent shoot. He removes the cigarette hanging from his mouth and exhales a cloud of smoke. James snuffs out the cigarette in an ash tray and stands up. He moves across the room and stops in front of a large plasma screen television. James uses a remote to power the television. A few seconds later he uses the same remote to begin playing a DVD. Footage from the most recent match between Butch Parker and Senester begins to run as James turns away from the television and he faces the camera *
Michael James: Last week on Havoc, Butch Parker became the world heavyweight champion. And I’m not going to stand here and lie to everyone by saying it was another one of my uncanny predictions because just like everyone else, I never expected it to happen. I never expected Butch to be granted another opportunity to #### up something great like he has done so many times in the past.
* James turns around and watches some of the footage of the match between Parker and Senester. He turns back to the camera with a disgusted sneer on his face *
Michael James: If it were up to me Butch wouldn’t be the world champion right now. If it were up to me, he wouldn’t have been granted the chance to redeem his broken ego with a ####ing handout from one of his douche bag friends. But you know what? It isn’t up to me. I’m fine with that. At the end of the day I’ll still the Personification of Perfection and I’m still the only champion with an undefeated record. That says more than anything Butch could pull out of his ass at this point in his career. And yes, I know. He’s the world champion. But you know what? That doesn’t impress me. In my eyes he’s still just a disrespectful piece of shit parading around with a reputation he doesn’t deserve. He hasn’t had any defenses so technically he isn’t a champion. He’s just a guy who ####ed over Senester and stole his property. But as we all know, that’s just the kind of guy Parker has always been. He’ll claim to be super hero and then slip through your window in the middle of the night and rape your mother. He’s a complete son of a b###h with no regard for anyone’s well being but his own. This is the guy Shevington hand picked to be the world champion? Give me a ####ing break. The HWA can do better than Butch Parker. He isn’t a legend, an icon or even a decent human being. He’s a free loading asshole walking around with a fake sense of personal recognition. Not only that but now he has the world championship to serve as an artificial seal of approval.
* Michael James walks out of frame. When he comes back he is holding the All Star Championship in his hands *
Michael James: If anyone deserves any kind of legendary recognition, it’s me. Since my title victory at Blood, Sweat and Tears I have beaten the former All Star Champion twice, a former world champion and one half of the tag team champions. I have represented this title better than any champions of the past and so far I have received nothing in return but disrespect. You know what I think about that? I think its bullshit. If I’m going to put worth one hundred and ten percent just to get spit in my face what is the point in keeping a positive attitude? I’m an asshole. People know this and they know it well. But what they fail to realize is they have only seen a small dose of the things I am capable of doing. When I ripped open Bryan Deas with a wallboard saw I did it because it seemed like a good idea at the time. When I sent Stu E Price in the hospital for third degree burns I did it with nothing more in mind than my own sick amusement. These things are fun for me, Butch. For you, they’re the kind of shit that nightmares are made of. And that’s yet another reason why I refer to you as a weak ####ing b###h. Sure, you can sit there behind a camera and make empty promises about the pain you’re going to bring me. But we all know you’re just going to fall short when it comes time to deliver. You aren’t a sadistic person, Butch. Do us all a favor and stick to what you’re good at because you’re starting to embarrass the rest of us. You’re the type of guy who runs at the first sign of blood. I’m not like that. I encourage the pain and suffering of others so your lies don’t intimate me in the slightest. You’re going to have to try a lot harder than that, asshole.
* He turns back towards the television and groans upon sight of Butch being announced as the new world champion *
Michael James: Like I said before, I could care less about bringing shame to the Parker family name. You assholes do that well enough on your own and you obviously don’t need my assistance. If you didn’t want to be labeled as bigots then maybe you shouldn’t have attacked me like a couple of ####ing children. If you act like professionals then you will be treated as such. Personally, I think that ship has sailed. You want to know why? It’s because neither one of you know the first thing about being in the same league as Michael James. All you know how to do is talk a bunch of pointless shit hoping that it might get you somewhere. So far, it’s done nothing more but put you both in a situation you don’t want to be in. You’re taking on the one guy you can’t possibly beat no matter how many secret weapons you add to your pathetic arsenal. I don’t need secret weapons. I don’t need four years to take back my championship. More importantly, I don’t need a disfigured crack ##### by my side in order to achieve constant success. I have all the weapons I’m ever going to need to be the best in the HWA. If you think you can prove me wrong then I ####ing dare you to try, Butch. I know you don’t have what it takes to get the job done. If you did then you would have done it already. Woulda, coulda, shoulda; mother####er. None of it means a ####ing thing until you go out there and do all the things you talk about. But you can’t do any of those things? Can you, Butch? You know why? It’s because you aren’t half the man that you used to be. You’re a broken down, carbon copy of the champion from 2004. That’s the best you will ever prove to be. You might not like it but that’s just the way things are meant to be.
* James drapes the All Star Championship over his shoulder and moves out of frame. The camera zooms in on the television monitor to show Butch Parker celebrating his win on Havoc with the HWA World Heavyweight Championship. The entire image cuts out with a static feed *
