Johnny Who

[JeffHardy]

The scene opens up to a dark room, as the camera pans out to a body laying face down on a bed. Suddenly the body turns over, Jeff Hardy’s face is revealed. Jeff rolls out of bed and makes his way to the bathroom. After about 15 minutes Hardy emerges from the bathroom. He makes his way to the kitchen where he grabs a beer from the fridge. Sitting at the kitchen table he cracks the beer open and guzzles it down. This is becoming a bad habit, and he knows it. Jeff is really beginning to hate himself. Hardy can not seem to get over the death of his father. Sometimes he feels like he is falling into a black hole and that there is no escape.

His phone rings, it is his wife.he ignores the call. Jeff loves Beth but he can’t face her right now. Hardy has an internal struggle, he knows he can be a better man, but he just can’t right now. Jeff can’t face his beautiful Beth and their lovely daughters until he can pull himself out of this horrible hole. Jeff continues to drink until he passes out facedown on the table. The scene fades to black.

The second scene opens up to Jeff Hardy sitting in the locker room, he is wearing black cargo jeans with a rainbow studded belt and a black tshirt with the Hardy logo on the front. Just as he begins to put on his boots there is a knock at the door.

Jeff adjusts his belt before yelling:

Hardy: “Come in!!!”

Beth slowly enters the room. Hardy looks at her and hangs his head down.

Beth:”Baby what are you doing? I am very worried about you. The girls want to know where their Daddy is.”

Jeff:”You can stop worrying. I am fine. Is that all, I have a match to prepare for.”

Beth:”How can I stop worrying, you are never home, you don’t answer the phone. I never know what to expect. I wish you would just come home and let me help.”

Hardy:”I will be fine. This is just something I need to get through on my own. It will just take me a little while. I love you and the girls, I just need some time.”

Beth:”I can give you some time but I won’t continue to wait forever. If you want to save your family then pull your head out of your ass and come home!”

Beth got up and left the locker room. Hardy sank into the couch. He better get it together before he loses everything. For now he needs to get his head in this match. Tonight he faces Johnny Gargano, someone he has never faced before. Jeff hates going into a match not knowing what to expect from his opponent. Can he trust this clown? Well none of that matters, Jeff thinks. All he has to do is get into the ring and everything will be fine. That is the only place where everything is ok.
Hardy ties his boots and begins to talk to himself.

Jeff:”Gargano, I saw your promo, what a joke. Everyone knows that I have a substance abuse problem. Tell the EBWF fans something that they don’t know. I am a screw up. I drink myself into oblivion everyday. Everyone that knows me is constantly worried if I will wake up or not. My wife is on the verge of leaving me and taking my kids. What you don’t realize is that all goes in my favor. Why do you ask? Well because I have nothing to lose. You have everything to lose.”

Hardy laughs and continues to speak.

Hardy:”Johnny Wrestling, that’s what they call you? OK let’s see if you can live up to the name. You better have done your research about me. I am a risk taker. I put my body on the line and don’t care. I have been doing that since the beginning of my career. If I was doing it then when I actually gave a damn why wouldn’t I now? I think you have gotten in over your head son. You are not even on my level.”

Jeff looks at himself in the mirror and continues to speak.

Jeff:”I have lots of anger, and aggression and tonight I am going to beat you until your ass is being carried out of the arena on a stretcher. I hope you got your shit together kid , tonight you get to tangle with the big boys.”

Jeff then sits back on the couch, the scene fades to black.
