Shawn Hollywood walks into the XWA Lounge. A place he hadn't been to for months now. As far as he knew he still had his contract, so he could come into the place freely. Shawn takes a seat. No one in the XWA knew what happened to Shawn, where he went, why he left, or anything. He basically disappeared. Even though officials and friends called to see what happened, he never bothered to answer. What happened is, he basically had a break down. The night before he was gone he laid down in his hotel, and stared at the ceiling for what seemed like an eternity, and began to think. He realized his wrestling career was going to hell. He was losing his battle against addiction. Enemies outnumbered his friends. Everything was just bad. Shawn wanted to come back, but he didn't think he could do it again. He actually missed his wrestling career. He also knew if was the only way he'd feed himself, until he met up with this one woman whom of which he mootched off of for quite a while. Right now she's on vacation, and he's decided to cut off his ties with her while she's gone. At least he made some hefty withdraws from an ATM with her bank card.
The usual routine begins. A waitress walks up to him, and she actually doesn't look bad. He checks her out of course, and she rolls her eyes. She asks what he wants.
Ah give me a scotch and...uh...a cheeseburger or something.
Alrighty, the pervert wants alcohol, and a cheeseburger or something. Coming right up.
He smirks as the waitress walks off and takes a scratch at his shadowy beard. He looked about the same as when he left, except for a bit of baggage under his eyes. He pulls out a cigarette and lights up. He'd been attempting to smoke yet again...

Well, well, well! Here's a sight for sore eyes, huh?
Jon greets an old acquaintance of his. He just happened into the lounge himself after taking care of some business and sure enough there was one face in the crowd he hadn't seen in quite a long time sitting there about to light one up.
You're lucky this is a privately owned joint or else they'd fine you for smoking indoors, heh heh. Well now, Shawn Hollywood, how long has it been anyway? Seems to me like everyone is making comebacks nowdays aren't they? Next thing you know you'll have people coming back from the dead.

Howdy Payne...
He puts out his cigarette since he knows he can't smoke.
Yup, long time no see and all that shit...Yep it sure has been a while, but I doubt you'll be seeing a comeback, man. I'm not really feeling...successful?

Not "feeling" successful? I never actually thought of that as being something you felt...
But maybe it was in all actuality. Maybe "success" really was in the way that a person carried themselves or thought of them, not necessarily what they actually physically did. Or maybe Jon was just playing into Shawn words a bit too deep. Oh well...only one way to find that out. He scratches his head and asks...
...tell me, how does that work anyway?

Feeling not successful? Well fuck...I guess ya know...
The waitress arrives and sets down his food and drink.
Yeah, thanks. Anyways...I feel like I can't come back here and make a name for myself again, or like I'm just going to end up leaving again, cutting off all of my connections. Fuck, ya know I doubt I could do it again.

Spinning the chair on the other side of the table around, Jon sets down himself for a spell. Leaning forward he continues...
I read some blog that Lionheart typed up a week back about how it's hard to break into XWA cuz it's so spread out. As far as I'm concerned the guys and gals who're over in this joint did because they were committed to doing it. You gotta have a certain mindset to pull that off, you can't be afraid of failing or giving into pressure or stuff like that.
This is the toughest grid of competition in the world right here and that's not just because people are good in the ring, too. If you slip up or slack off you'll fall behind quick, and sometimes it's tough to catch up. No way you're gonna be able to do that if you're doubting yourself right out of the gates, man...that's just a recipe for disaster. The only thing that I know is that if you put your mind to it you could do some things here.
But you know, it might help a bit if you're not pissing the bosses off enough to point where you're in handicap matches every week. Hard to get ahead when you're someone's personal whoopin' boy.

True. I should of gave Carmella or Sebastien the vasoline in advance so their rape wouldn't hurt so bad.
Shawn takes a drink of his Scotch.
But ya know, I feel that I've had my time in the spot light. Before Ohio and all that shit before I went to jail I was living it big and shit. Ever since I divorced my first wife and went to jail....everything just went dooown hill.

Well, I know a little something about divorces myself. Cost me a lot more than than just half, too. Looking back on it, I had the XWA Title. That goes down in the books...but I never really got the chance to do it justice because of my divorce and then it wound up going right on back to the knucklehead who got it stripped in the first place. One thing just leads to another I guess.
*Shakes head*
This isn't a charmed life, I can tell you that much. You see me? I go through just as much as the next guy or gal. We're no angels, we all go though some tough times, but in this business you have to realize that the fans who pack those arenas and sit at home watching on TV don't care about any of that stuff. Their only concern is what goes down between the bells man. The trick is being able to tune everything else out for that moment in time. That's always been my motivation anyway...

Well I'm not really talking about other people influencing my success. I'm just saying I don't think I have what it takes to do it anymore man. Look at me. I'm pretty much a fucking mess.
He laughs.
Just fucking look at me...I need some poontang...but that's beside the point. I just can't see it in myself to come back...Wow, look at me spilling my guts out to you, hah. I need to fucking lighten up. More drinking would help that out.

I doubt that, dude. You know the saying "a drunken mouth speaks a sober mind"? You'd probably end up doing the same thing as now but worse. 
You don't actually look that bad though man, nothing a little R&R couldn't fix, and I mean some REAL rest & relaxation. Maybe a few less cheeseburgers, too? But what exactly do you plan on doing here then if you don't plan on getting back in the ring. You know that 2007 contract money isn't gonna last you forever...

Well...uh...Good question. Well I could...ya know...do some stuff that could end up with other stuff...and well...yeah. Fuck I have no idea! I only came here to possibly see Bianca....or something...fuck!
He takes a large drink of his scotch and slams the glass down.

Bianca? Oh dear. Word around the campfire is that Ms. Dianaco has moved on since Shawn's disappearing act. Jon being Jon Payne and all makes it necessary to keep his ears on the stones for all things. Naturally, Shawn wouldn't know...so letting him know was going to be a little bit tricky.
Might as well be straight with the guy.
Well, uh...Shawn. About Bianca...there's kinda this new dude that came along named Finesse and well...last I heard she was rolling with him. Don't know if it's a regular thing or a one night fling, but...she's kinda...moved on? I mean don't let that stop you from talking to the lady but...that might be all you're doing with her now, ya know?

God damn it...son of a bitch...fuck....shit! What? No. God damn it...son of a bitch...fuck....shit! I never got to hit that...and I'm fucking low on cash. How the hell am I going to make it now with her seeing other people? Fuck! Wait...one she's sees that I'm here, she'll take me back. She's probably been disappointed since she missed out on the pleasure I can give her.
A grin appears on his face.
Yeah! So hopefully her tight ass walks in her, spots me, and then we can bang and I'll be living the good life! Fuck yeah!

On the one hand you have the troubled soul that is Shawn Hollywood. Yeah he's still in could shape, but he's seen his share of hard times and bad luck. On the other hand you have Finesse, who from what Jon gathered in talking up newcomers with SHE was a man more than confident in himself. That, and he's a black guy in great physical condition-and you do know what they say about black guys right? If you were Bianca Dianaco, which would YOU stick with? Well, we can't let Shawn think that here, don't want to poke at that house of cards that was his confidence.
Uh...yeah. That could happen...somehow...never say never, never say die, that's what it's all about right there...even if you're dead in the water already.
You know, and I'm no expert on this myself here but...if you maybe thought of women as more than just sex objects you might have better luck with 'em. Just sayin'...

Well shit man, most women these days are heartless shells that just want your cock. Those women are my type of women, because I can do whatever the hell I want with them. Yeah! Now this Finesse guy...he sounds...black? I'm not trying to pull out the race card, oh no. But fuck, he's black so he's probably got a big dick. Well I've got news for him, I'm hung like a fucking horse to!
He begins to laugh a whole hearty laugh.
Not every white guy is comes up short in bed...
