(EDDIE, SITTING AT THE BAR, ALL STAR TITLE DRAPED ON THE TABLE, ALONE, NO ONE IN THE BAR, LEANS FORWARD AND GRABS THE TITLE AND LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA, STILL BRUISED UP)

Eddie: You know what makes this second go more interesting. Not better, because everyone knows how much hell I went through to win and obtain the this All Star title the first time around, but this one is so much more ...(TAKES A SHOT OF TEQUILA)...So much more refreshing..Why,Because i took it from Senester right under everyone's nose. Took it before AC could even focus long enough to see me raise my arm in victory, I took it, from Senester...See I know there aren't many who could say they beat Senester yet alone took his title from him, And though I knew I would eventually it was all the sweeter when my investment paid off.

(CAMERA PANS BACK AROUND TO THE TABLE TO SEE BUFF SITTING THERE SMILING)

BUFF: Investment, More of the greatest decisions you ever made

(EDDIE LOOKS UP TRYING TO DECIDE IF IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST DECISIONS)

EDDIE: Maybe...

(BUFF LOOKS AT EDDIE WITH A HALF SMIRK AS THE CAMERA PANS BACK AROUND FULLY FOCUSED ON EDDIE..WE CAN HEAR BUFF TELL EDDIE)

BUFF: All you have to do is trust me!

(ANOTHER VOCIE IS HEARD WALKING, THE CAMERA PANS AND IT'S TALON)

TALON: Trust my friend goes with the old adage, which it is earned.

(BUFF LOOKS AT TALON WITH A SERIOUS LOOK AND KICKS OUT A CHAIR FOR TALON TO HAVE A SEAT)

TALON: No thanks, I'll stand by the bar, I happen to be thirsty!..(STARRING AT BUFF)

EDDIE: I love it , the competitive fire is burning in this room...Truth is..(CAMERA PANS BACK TO EDDIE)...you both are already on the same page, just refuse to acknowledge it. Hell if not for either of you watching my back in Arizona, This all Star title would still be wrapped around Senester way too slim waist. Have a seat Talon..come on, listen they're already starting to create something out of nothing. Did you see the HWA website. This is what they want. I know this ain't easy considering how you feel about Buff, But he hasn't been here a month and Already I got My All Star back, Ronnie has his Heavyweight title shot finally and your one win away from securing your Spotlight title and moving on.

TALON: first off, Ronnie is a product of that goddam lottery..Don't get me wrong, He would have eventually faced him and deserves too. Me being oh so close to that goddam Spotlight tile is all on me, having to fight and deal with all the bullshit Willyard was putting me and Logan through, Now right when i'm about to destroy that punk, He gets moved out the division, he has an angel on his shoulder

BUFF: If I may...you walked out of your Steel Cage match, just you and him, could have destroyed him..and you left because of your personal indifference with myself. Talon, how ever you might feel about me, know I feel the same way about you, but this isn't about You, and it's not about me

TALON: It isn't..really, you dam near get your career ended so you wait by the door handing out flyers looking for a job, somewhere to go to and become relevant again, to mean something again. Buff I don't like you, your arrogance is only super-seeded by your delusion of grander. It still baffles me why Eddie even picked up the phone.

BUFF: Are we done, If I may once again, Talon, am I arrogant, (SHURGS) I don't know! maybe my 12 title reigns in HWA has something to do with it, maybe the fact I have been here since day one carrying this fed, shouldering it through dam near implosion. And yes, in the last few years I have been on the outs looking in, but is only because of what you and Eddie said all along. You guys have come in and made a difference. you have pulled HWA back above water when it needed you guys the most during the invasion and yes, pretty much everything that has happened in HWA one way or another has involved or has your finger prints on them, but answer me this Talon, Between you and Eddie, Three years and you only managed 2 world titles reign between the both of you for less then a year, combined. Why is that. Maybe it's because you walk out of Steel cage matches, maybe it's because Eddie is a goddam madman who can't get out his own way..(EDDIE LOOKS AT BUFF AND TAKES ANOTHER SHOT)...It's not a joke, and that is all it ever seems to be, you guys talk about ratings and all that other non sense..it's because no one out there truly cares what your going through, they only care to see what other unfortunate situation you guys thrust yourself into. It has to End. Look, you guys did something unprecedented, you let the HWA camera's into your lives like no wrestler could have imagined, It was innovative and refreshing and scary to everyone else. Suddenly HWA was sending memos out to let the camera's into all our lives. Not everyone understood. There is no taking away what you have done or your accomplishments, but like you have told me time and time again Talon, wrestling isn't about what was done, but what is being done and with that, I say, what ever there was here between me and you has to end. As a professional, as a man we must come to this crossroads and put our past behind us, if not for me, or for you , make it for us, Ronnie, Eddie, Merlyn, Malik and Kaleb, Yourself. The N.W.O. We are right on the cusp of something great, going on something unprecedented once again. And for crying out loud, taking the Title off of that obnoxious Euro trash Hans. ..(WIPES HIS FACE...TAKES A DEEP BREATH AND JUST LOOKS AT TALON)..I Have nothing left to say Talon

(TALON SITS..TAKING A DEEP BREATH)

TALON: .............

(BUFF LOOKS AT TALON)

(EDDIE LOOKS AT BUFF THEN TALON THEN BUFF THEN TALON)

(TALON REST HIS CHIN IN HIS HAND LEANING ON THE TABLE)

TALON: Buff, if this whole thing was a ploy to F@ck us over, you will forever be hunted. I will make a career out of destroying yourS, or what ever is left of yours....all my instincts are telling me flip this table and put my fist through your f@cking head, but there's a little man rolling the dice in my head saying take the chance, the payoff is greater then the let down...Are we in an agreement that if this has been a rouse by you in anyway that me and you will forever be on parallel paths down to hell.

(BUFF LEANS IN ON THE TABLE GETTING CLOSE TO TALON, HE LEANS IN AS IF TO TELL TALON A SECRET BUT TALKS LOUD ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR)

BUFF: I am here to do what I said I would do, but note,If this is a swerve, I will make sure your the first to know..(EXTENDS HAND TO TALON)

(EDDIE LOOKS AT BUFF THEN TALON AND BACK TO BUFF)

TALON: .........

EDDIE: T...from we are and have been we have nothing to loose, and I think he has already proven himself.

TALON: Next time we are in the ring with Senester, your taking him out!

BUFF: if It pleases you, it will be my pleasure

(TALON REACHES OVER AND SHAKES BUFF'S HAND)

EDDIE: VERY GOOD GENTLEMEN..and now that you two completely took over my promo.I will pardon myself to the little boys room and try and remember what I was going to say...

(TALON GETS UP AND NODS TOWARDS BUFF AND LEAVES AS MERLYN WALKS IN)

MERLYN: HEY GUYS!

(BUFF ROLLS HIS EYES AND GETS UP AND WALKS TO THE POOL TABLE AS THE SCENE FADES)
