Day Time, January 2nd
::Off Camera::

The scene opens up inside the Greenville Convention Center. It’s the day of Rage in a Cage and the Techies are trying to make sure they’ve got constructing the cage around the ring down to a science so they can do it within the time allotted during the show. Meanwhile backstage WallStreet’s Walking around in a black power suit making his rounds and checking with everybody to make sure there’s no problems that need to be addressed before the show. As he walks down a hallway TOG spots him and heads his way.

TOG, "Hey Bossman, you got a minute?"

WallStreet glances over and smiles as he extends his hand and ends up shaking TOG’s hand.

WallStreet, "Of course. What’s on your mind kid?"

TOG, "Well�?I’m a little conflicted at the moment."

WallStreet seems curious as he says, "Oh?"

TOG, "Well it’s just�?When I came here I was really excited about it ya know? (WallStreet nods) and I couldn’t wait to be a cog in the machine that rebuilt this once great empire. And don’t get me wrong, the ICWA’s coming along great. We’re on the verge of getting where we need to be, I can feel it. (WallStreet nods again). But it’s just�?I don’t want this to come across the wrong way, but, I kinda feel like I’m not really getting a chance to do anything."

WallStreet’s confusion leaves as a look of understanding takes it’s place.

WallStreet, "I see."

TOG, "I know the idea was for Matt and I to run a big program, but, it feels like my spot in that’s going to Nev. And I’m not mad, I love Nev, I think he’s great. I totally understand why he’s taking my place, I mean there’s dollar signs all over it. I totally get it. I just�?Money’s never been real important. And my place on the card isn’t super important either, but, I need to be on the card. I can’t practice my craft and improve if I’m not."

WallStreet nods, "Right."

TOG, "And I’m getting Indy experience. I still work Indys all the time, but, I’m the best they’ve got. I can’t improve carrying Indy guys all the time. I need to work with people who are better than me."

WallStreet nods, "Yeah�?You’re right."

TOG, "So�?Christian Michaels was talking to me�?

WallStreet, "And?"

TOG, "Well�?He said he had some stuff for me in PWT if I wanted it."

WallStreet, "I see."

TOG, "Taylor�?I won’t go without your blessing. If you can assure me that I’ll start getting more work here and I’ll get to work with some guys like Matt or Chris or Yourself�?Anybody that’s not just another Indy guy I could face in TLCW or UWC or wherever�?Then I’ll stay."

WallStreet shakes his head, "No�?You should go."

TOG, "Listen man, I owe you virtually my whole career. If you want me to stay just say so�?

WallStreet, "No, You’re right. I really don’t have anything for you right now. If Chris has something available then you should take it. Besides, you need the money."

TOG, "Money’s not an issue�?

WallStreet, "Come on now Holden, I’ve been broke before�?Money’s defiantly an issue. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the fact that it’s not as big an issue to you as doing what’s best for your career and what’s right by the ICWA, but, at the moment what’s best for your career is to take the job in Michigan. Plus, the workers there are completely different from the workers here. You’ll get to learn some different stuff. Go to Michigan, do what Chris tells ya and you’ll be a star kid. There’s nobody in this business who’s gonna be able to mold and shape you better then Christian Michaels. When things run their course in Michigan, give me a call and we’ll see where things are at and if I’ll be able to better utilize your talents then I can now."

TOG, "Well…�?Alright then. You want me to put anybody over or do anything before I go?"

WallStreet shakes his head, "No."

TOG, "What about Darren Hunter? I know you were thinking about taggin us�?

WallStreet, "I’ll get him somebody else. I think I’m gonna have him face DSL for the Cyber TV next show, so, we’ll see how he does there and go from there."

TOG nods, "Alright. I don’t wanta leave him in the cold�?

WallStreet, "Nah, he’ll be fine. He’s a good kid, we’ll get him something. Right now our roster’s just a little inflated for our TV Spot. Now, I am considering running multiple shows on the same dates just because we’re drawing so well. If I start doing that I’ll bring you in to work some matches, but, I’ll make sure it doesn’t conflict with your PWT Bookings."

TOG, "Awesome."

WallStreet, "If I do that I’d be interested in bringing Simon McMillion in as well. Do me a favor and have him give me a call when ya get to Michigan."

TOG nods, "I will�?Thanks for everything Taylor�?Really."

WallStreet nods, "You're welcome."

TOG, "Can I still call you if I need advice?"

WallStreet, "If you mean with nutrition and your work out regimine, absolutely. If you mean in terms of the business, no."

TOG seems surprised, "What? Why not?"

WallStreet, "Christian’s bringing you in, you go to him. There’s nothing you’re gonna ask me about that he wouldn’t give you just as good of advice about. Pick his brain like a bird and soak up every ounce of knowledge he gives you like a sponge. That’s how you become great kid. Despite what this new wave of smarks turned "pro wrestlers" might tell you, it doesn’t matter what you can do in that ring physically�?It matters how you use what you do, where you use it, and most importantly of all�?Why you use it. The important stuff is psychology and a grasp on the whys and hows of our business. Christian’s one of the best workers alive today, no question, but, beyond that he’s got it (points to head) here and (points to heart) here. Listen to Christian, he won’t steer ya wrong."

TOG nods, "Alright�?

WallStreet, "Uh�?Just don’t ask him for relationship advice or party advice. You might still want to call me in those areas."

TOG laughs, "Alright boss, I’ll keep that in mind."

WallStreet chuckles, "Good call kid. I’ll be keeping an eye on ya, good luck."

WallStreet gives TOG a pat on the shoulder and heads off as TOG sighs a breath of relief�?/P>

TOG, "This just might work out�? Here goes nothing�?/FONT>."
