The NERVE!!! (Headlinerz)

[scott]

Scott kicks open the dressing room door. He storms in, toss the XWA Title on a near by table. He pulls off his wristbands and slings them across the room.

Can you fucking BELIEVE that tool, Kayn. He actually lasts a submission match with me and all of a sudden he thinks he's full blown Title Material. A man who just weeks ago got RAPED by Fierhart and that British freak Vikram. Did you SEE him out there kissing the bosses ass? He could tell everyone what she ate for the last WEEK his nose was so far up her damn crack. And THEN...of ALL things he calls ME a chicken? He think's I'm AFRAID to fight him in a last man standing match? HAAAAAAAAAA!!! This damn week isn't gonna go by FAST enough. Not ONLY am I gonna beat his ass. But I'm gonna rub his god damn face in it. I'm gonna make his life a living hell. He's gonna wish he never laid EYES on Scott O'Dell.

Scott begins gathering his things to take a shower before leaving the arena.

Sitting back in chair, Jimmy Ames oggles a Japanese Men's mag. As O'Dell rants, he just sits licking his chops at hot asian women. Despite his focus bing on his mag, he heard most of what Scott had said, and responds.

Ya' better calm down, Scotty-boy. You'll catch a heart attack that way. Pop a vein in one of those muscles or somethin' *heh heh*. The fact is this, You're still champ. So what it was draw. So what Kayn thinks he's got yer number. They thought they had you down last time, and what did you do?[/font]

He waits for a response from Scott, but his silence meant that Jimmy's comment sank right in.

EXACTLY. No matter how much people might hate ya' for being brutally honest. Even a bit narcissistic...The fact is you PROVE that you deserve ta' carry that belt where it counts. IN THE RING. Ya' knocked off all of XWA's big guns in one way or another, a BUNCH of times. So RELAX. You ain't gotta be beat Big, Bland, and Boring. He's gotta beat YOU. Think on that one, Buddy.[/font]

Jim's attention turns right back to his mag.

While I think on Ayumi Yasutoko. The things I'd do to you, Darlin'. Whooooooooooooo-Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Minutes pass by, and Scott emerges from the shower room dressing in a slick grey suit. He packs up his gym bag, ready to roll out.

I don't know about you, But I have no plans on just sitting on my ass wooing over chicks. I plan on gettin' some real time ones. Tonight, we hit the town. Tomorrow, I hit the gym. If that loser Kayn thinks he's gonna beat me he's in for a shock and awe in his own right.

Scott puts his gym bag over on shoulder, and the XWA Title over the other.

You ready or what?
