Acrobats and Freaks

[Ben M]

The scene opened backstage at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Jimmy Havoc and Braun Strowman were in their locker room. Havoc was showing Strowman a video package of Matt Sydal and Mark Andrews.

Braun Strowman: They look like circus acrobats. I hate the circus.

Havoc laughed quietly at the statement.

Jimmy Havoc:...and just like the circus you are the Lion. The biggest baddest motherfucker in that whole circle. The crowd pays to see you and not some past his prime fuckboy like Matt Sydal. What happens to the Lion when he’s left alone with his captors? He rips at their flesh and takes their bones from their body. That’s you, Braun.

Braun Strowman: I am a lion. I am a monster. The acrobats will be destroyed.

Havoc rubbed his head and then the stubble on his face.

Jimmy Havoc: Listen, I need a favour from you. I have a HUGE Elimination Chamber match I need to be at like 100% to bring that title home, you reckon you can bring those two nerds back to the ground?

Strowman grinned. If anything, it made him look more demonic.

Braun Strowman: What do you think? I could kill them with my thumbs.

Havoc smiled.

Jimmy Havoc: If it was up to me, I’d let you big guy. I know you’ll do what you have to do. Fuck ‘em up, yeah? Make sure that other foot of Sydals looks worse that the fucking thing he has.

“Did someone say something about feet?”

The camera cut to the corner of the room, where Gene Snitsky was lurking creepily.

Jimmy Havoc: What the actual fuck? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!?

Strowman charged towards Snitsky, slamming his head against the wall. Snitsky looked dazed, and Strowman grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, throwing him across the room into the TV screen.

Braun Strowman: Stupid foot fetish freak.

Havoc looked down at Snitsky and spat on him.

Jimmy Havoc: What just happened to this giant manbaby is nothing compared to what happens when Braun steps over them ropes and grabs ahold of the two flippy midgets come tonight. Braun is the Monster amongst Men, fear him.

Braun Strowman: Go back to the circus… freaks.

The irony of Strowman calling someone else a break as not lost as he hit the camera with a vicious right hand, cracking the screen and bringing the scene to an abrupt end.
