The scene opens with a shot of El Matador, and Jason Orion standing atop the Cobweb Escape Cage struggling for the title belt, but as soon as they both pull it down, the shot rewinds. This scene plays a good four or five times before finally freezing.
Matador: Sorry guys, I let you down. I had those belts in my grasp, but Orion intervened and somehow managed to keep those belts in Everyday Heroes' camp.
The scene cuts away from the frozen shot, and reveals Space Case sitting alone in a dilapidated building, he is oddly enough in the padded cell, and is rocking back and forth with a sullen look on his face. Matador just stares at the screen, his body rocking back and forth.
Matador: But that's not even the worst part of that night. We let Rups get carted out on a stretcher, that should have never happened. Orion, can you hear me? I so hope you can, because this can not stand, this aggression can NOT stand! You take one of ours out on a stretcher, we take one of yours out in a body bag! El Presidente has all but handed you your walking papers, and he's already assured everyone there would be NO ties this go round.
Lightning crashes in the background, but no response from The Dude, gone is his usual cheery attitude, in it's place a cold almost dead stare. This looks like it would have gone on much longer, but a door slams and in walks Matador's manager The Psycho Kid.
TPK: Snap out of it man, you're stealing my thing.
Matador: Oh, dude. Sorry, was trying it out. Not bad, but I prefer my own style. You sulk way too much for me, thanks for letting me use The Asylum by the way. Gave it a nice creepy feel.
TPK: Anything for one of my students, now can we talk about this?
Matador: Yeah man, sure thing. The whole thing just has me a little bummed out is all. We were so close, and got hijacked at the last moment. I mean, I'd rather lose than tie, ties are SO horrible. I mean we didn't lose, but neither did they. Takes so much wind out of everyone, I'm just glad they granted us a rematch.
TPK cuts on a light, some gym equipment and a ring can now be seen, along with bales of barbed wire sitting in the far corner. The Psychotic Superstar...or manager these days, opens a door, and pulls out a ladder, which he walks towards the shoddy ring with.
Matador: What's with the ladder teach?
TPK: What, this? I'm just trying to get your head on right, you can't go into this match with a foggy mind Dude. So, I'm going to help you out. We're going to do a little experiment, I'm going to set this ladder up smack dab in the middle of the ring, and YOU...you are going to fall off of it.
Matador: So it's like a trust excersise, and you're going to catch me. Got it.
TPK: Nope, you're just going to...ya know FALL. After which, you'll hit the mat, get you ready for if and when it happens in an in ring scenario. I find getting yourself ready for it helps lessen the shock, for when it happens for real. Plus, the thought of falling off the top of this thing ought to help make you think about something other than what happened at Dio De Las Muertos.
Matt: So, to recap. You want me to climb up that ladder, and then just fall? You want me to intentionally crash? Sweet, I'm in, let's do this!
Matador eagerly hops to his feet, and runs towards the ring, that now has a ladder set up in the middle of it. Matt briskly climbs to the top, looks down, and falls back. At this point, gravity pretty much does the rest, and The Dude crashes to the ground below with a deft thud.
TPK: Ok, that wasn't bad Matty. Now, AGAIN!
Matt: Wha...ok. Sure, why not.
Matador pulls himself up, and climbs once again to the top of the ladder, this time however with a slightly slower pace. He reaches the top, and just as he is about to fall back, TPK holds a hand out towards him, and yells "Stop!"
TPK: Ok, now. This is going to fucking suck, BUT it'll be a learning experience. Falling is one thing, but you aren't going to simply fall from a ladder in an in match scenario. You are much more likely to get thrown off, shoved off, slammed off. My point being this, there is definitely going to be another person involved in your fall. And I am going to play that part here today.
TPK climbs the ladder at a leisurely pace, making it a point to talk to his protige with each new rung. After what seems to be a good two minutes, The Psycho One finally reaches the top of the ladder, opposite his student.
TPK: Now, you are familiar with my finishing move, The Straight Jacket Slam correct? Normally this is done from the top rope, but for today I have opted to use this as a ladder move, I won't lie it is GOING to suck. It's necessary though, you learn to intercept this move from the ladder, and you won't be caught off guard by say Jason Orion.
Matt starts to something, but his head is thrust down into the top of the ladder, TPK steps to the top of the ladder, underhooks Matt's arms, pulls his head between his legs, and then drops back first from the top of the ladder. Matt is driven head first into the dusty ring below, he lets out an "Oof" as his head connects, and then begins to roll around on the mat, and clutch his skull in agony. TPK sighs, and looks over at The Dude, who now seems to be grinning.
Matador: Damn man, why the hell did you retire. That shit was fun, but you could have pulled that move a bit. I'm going to have a headache for a week!
TPK: You can think of it like that, or you can think of it as a reminder. Pain is a hell of a teacher Matt, you of all people should know this by now. Just remember this for when you get in there with The Everyday Heroes. I like you, they don't they aren't exactly going to tell you what they're going to do. Now, take a quick break. But when you're done we are going to train some more.
Matador: Hell yeah, you going to get in on some smoke time with me and Schmidt? He'd love to see you, you don't talk to him enough.
TPK: While smoking pot with you, and a bull sounds fun. I really need to get ready for more rigorous exercise.
Matador: Alright, I guess we'll just eat the waffles alone then...
TPK: Woah! Matt, next time LEAD with waffles. Let's do this shit!
Matador: Hell yeah, and thanks man. Hopefully with your help I'm going to be ready for this match.
The scene fades as TPK and Matador head toward the entrance of The Asylum.
