We cut to footage shot on the NAPW Handy-cam outside of the Eagles Hall in Calgary after Unified. Donovan Astros is leaving the building with his gear, wearing his usual black polo with the Astros logo embroidered on, and black jeans.
ASTROS - Well, well, well, look at the mouse the cat finally dragged in.
Astros laughs to himself and smirks.
ASTROS - You see, I went to Calgary tonight expecting to lay in a Hollywood-sized butt whoopin' on Chad Kurtis. I went to the Eagles Hall looking to cancel "The Show" once and for all, but apparently, Chad, you got cold feet! You saw what was coming in your future, Chad, the lesson of a lifetime you were going learn at the hands of Donovan Astros, and you weren't feeling so frisky anymore.
ASTROS - Now I know there's gonna be a lot of people outraged... "But Donovan, his brother was in the hospital! You'd do the same thing if a family member of yours was seriously hurt!" Let's be realistic, kids. First off, this isn't the big time. Bills've still got to be paid, mouths've still got to be fed, and even through the cost of living ain't that high, if I had a family member in the hospital, I'd be bustin' my ass to pay for his or her care!
The arrogant look on Astros's face washes away. We see some true anger in the face of NAPW's Savior.
ASTROS - Secondly, Chad, if someone was calling me out, calling me a failure, a disgrace, and a loser, I'd sure as hell stand up and defend myself... but that's just not how Chad Kurtis operates. Chad Kurtis goes into hiding, disappears, then sends out little letters to NAPW about how I should be thrilled you didn't take the time out of your schedule and come up to Calgary and how I can't beat you, and how I'm not worthy! Well, Chad, look into the face of greatness. Does this look like a man satisfied? Do I look like I wanted to team up with a guy I don't even like against a team I've never heard of in a tag match - which *I* won, by the way! Do I look like I wanted you to turn tail and run from the greatest wrestler on God's green Earth?
ASTROS - Chad, look into these eyes, you selfish little bastard, and know that sooner or later, it will be you and I in the middle of that ring and you won't be able to hide behind your sick brother, you won't be able to hide behind Rex Caliber, you won't be able to hide behind the fans, it'll just be you, me, and that sinking sensation deep down in the pit of your stomach that you just can't get the job done.
The smirk comes back, and Astros laughs to himself again.
ASTROS - So Rex Caliber, Lloyd Rees, I implore you to look at what Chad Kurtis is. He's already had his shot at the Provincial title twice, and failed at both occasions. He had the chance to face Donovan Astros tonight, and didn't show up. He's a failure and a coward, and once he finally musters up the last little bit of courage he has left and steps in the ring with me, he'll be a bona fide loser too.
ASTROS - And as for title shots, I hear there's a battle royal on the shores of Rebel Pro Wrestling for a shot at the top belt there... I may just have to make a trip to North Carolina and show up this Tuesday. Chad Kurtis works for Rebel too, doesn't he? Maybe you should stay home from this one too, Chad.
Astros grabs his gear and turns to walk away when he walks right into a 6'9" monster. Literally, as Astros bumps right into Jake Phoenix. And Jake is NOT happy, as he's staring a hole right through Astros.
ASTROS - Heeeeey, big man! Great match tonight, another big win for the Career Kill-
PHOENIX - What the (BLEEP) do you think you're doing out there?! You could've cost me that match with that cutesy bullshit you pulled! I had that won!
ASTROS - Hey, calm down, Jake.. a win's a win! Besides, I've seen a lot of tape on those guys, and I wasn't sure they were quite put away...
Phoenix sticks a thick finger right into Astros' chest, backing him up slightly with each poke.
PHOENIX - I HAD HIM IN THE (BLEEP)ING TOMBSTONE! All you had to do was stand back for once and wait, but NO! YOU had to have the spotlight! YOU had to have the glory!
ASTROS - I just had to make sure, Jake! We got the win, me and you, just like old-
Phoenix has had enough. Before Astros can react, Phoenix's hand grasps him by the throat and shoves him back hard into the wall. Astros claws at Phoenix's arm as his grip slowly tightens, but nothing doing.
PHOENIX - I have HAD IT with your attitude, I have HAD IT with your bullshit.. and I have HAD IT with YOU...so give me ONE GOOD REASON why I shouldn't just break your (BLEEP)ing neck RIGHT (BLEEP)ING NOW!
ASTROS - Jake..*cough*..you and I.. no... we.. WE..*gasp*...we can win the tag titles! Just...*cough* let me go, and I can explain...
Phoenix, reluctantly, lets Astros go... Astros rubs his neck, which is red and agitated...
PHOENIX - This has better be good.
ASTROS - Tag...*cough*...Tagstravaganza, May 22nd.. any team anywhere can win the NAPW Tag Team titles.. and we're... we're better than everyone, right?
PHOENIX - What's this WE? The way I see it, they tried to (BLEEP) me over and I got outta there. Why the hell should I believe a damn thing outta your mouth, and why the (BLEEP) should I team with you again?
ASTROS - You gotta trust me, Jake, it's open season. Who knows how many teams will be there for you to destroy? You could win it all by yourself, but don't you want someone who wants to win gold and be the best just as much as you do in your corner?
Phoenix looks away from Astros. He's thinking about it, stroking his chin, but...
ASTROS - And these tag matches are inside of a steel cage! Anyone stupid enough to get in the ring with you will have no escape!
That gets Jake's attention. He snaps up and.. slowly nods at Astros.
PHOENIX - No escape, huh? .....alright. I'm in. You and me...we'll team for now.
ASTROS - You hear that, NAPW? You've just signed away the lives of every man, woman, and Kurtis that dares step into that cage! Tagstravaganza, Jake Phoenix, Donovan Astros, it's an unstoppable combination! I'm gonna be a champion before you know it, just like I told everyb-
Astros is cut off, because Phoenix's hand just grabbed him around the windpipe once again. He sputters a few times as Phoenix goes eye to eye with him.
PHOENIX - But remember something, Donnie - I ain't forgotten what you did, and I ain't forgiven it, neither. And after this little side thing runs its course... I'm gonna finish what you started. That's a (BLEEP)ing promise.
Phoenix lets go of Astros, and slowly backs off. He exits the way he came, slamming the door behind him. Astros slides down the wall back to his feet, shooting a snarling leer at the door.
ASTROS - ...*cough*... I always finish what I start, don't you worry about that.
Astros, still clutching his neck, walks off camera as we fade out.
ASTROS - Well, well, well, look at the mouse the cat finally dragged in.
Astros laughs to himself and smirks.
