:: The cameras open up on the back of the AWA arena. Specifically, in the AWA training room. The sound of fists slamming into something can be heard. As the camera moves through the room, past the weight machines and the cardio machines it eventually comes to the source of the sound. It is none other than Ripper who is pounding away on a punching bag. Ripper finishes with a rather vicious looking spinning back kick as he notices the camera. He stops his exercise and dusts himself of. ::
Ripper: “Ok you can come out now.”
:: Ripper walks up to a zip on the side of the punching bag that the camera hadn’t seen and pulls it down. From inside Anthony Jordan’s assistant Scorpion falls out and hits the floor. Ripper lifts Scorpion to his feet and dusts him down. He manages to find his balance eventually and shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. ::
Scorpion: “Why did I have to do that?”
Ripper: “Because you weren’t doing anything else.”
Scorpion: “I was in the middle of doing my taxes!”
Ripper: “Not important. Plus as part of my agreement with AJ you’re my assistant for now.”
Scorpion: “I don’t remember being told about that.”
Ripper: “It’s probably in the post.”
Scorpion: “I saw AJ earlier today. Why would he not of just told me then?”
Ripper: “Because AJ is a stickler for the rules and regulation and under section three sub-section four of your contract any change of contract must be notified in writing.”
Scorpion: “That sounds about right.”
Ripper: “Really‽”
:: Ripper seems surprised that Scorpion believes him however, quickly continues talking before Scorpion can question his surprise. ::
Ripper: “I’m just impressed that you know your contract that well.”
Scorpion: “I’m a registered member of the bar.”
Ripper: “Really? Wow there’s a lot that people don’t know about that could be explored with a more in depth discussion for the benefit of the viewer. “
:: Ripper and Scorpion both sigh and nod. ::
Ripper: “Now what’s next on today’s routine?”
Scorpion: “I don’t know.”
Ripper: “What do you mean you don’t know? How am I meant to win the world title when I don’t know what my training regime is in the days coming up to the big match?”
Scorpion: “I don’t know because you just grabbed me and stuffed me in that punching bag.”
Ripper “Really?”
:: Scorpion nods insistently.::
Ripper: “Oh well we’ll have to fix that. You see Scorpion I have a dream. A dream that after Anarchy I will walk out the AWA Undisputed Champion. It’s a dream that’s been long in the making...”
Scorpion: “You’ve only been part of the AWA for a month.”
Ripper: “I meant Undisputed Championships. Keep up. Scorpion this time I am going to make that dream become a reality. On Monday I will climb the metaphorical ladder to success. Followed by me climbing the physical ladder to success. You know what it’s like to dream don’t you Scorpion? To follow those dreams out. “
Scorpion: “I only have the one dream where I hold his head under the water until the last bubble pops. “
:: Ripper stares at Scorpion as the morbid words leave his lips. ::
Ripper: “You are a deeply disturbed individual. “
Scorpion: “ A lot of people put me down. “
Ripper: “Let’s go get some waffles. “
:: Ripper walks past the camera as Scorpion looks at him. ::
Scorpion: “Like as friends?”
Ripper: “Sure.”
:: Scorpion raises his arms in the air and cheers::
Scorpion: “WOOHOO! I have a friend!”
:: Scorpion runs after Ripper as the cameras fade to an advert for the new Monday Night Anarchy line up.::
