My best

[Griffith]

The scene fades in and the audience sees a dark room, the only light is coming from the lit fireplace. An occupied rocking chair is swinging back and forth. The camera man is shaking and his fear shows.

Cameraman: Uh, hello?

The man in the rocking chair swivels and is now facing the camera. He is wearing a dark suit, however a shadow is covering his face.

Cameraman: Mr. Scurll is that you? I was told that this was where we were filming.

There is no answer

Cameraman: Maybe I have the wrong location. I’m sorry to bother you... whoever you are.

The cameraman begins to leave slowly, but he stops when he hears the man in the chair speak.

Man in the chair: Come here. Come here. Come here.

The cameraman slowly makes his way towards the man. With every step he begins to breathe heavier and heavier. He reaches the man and we see that it is a mannequin. The cameraman screams and runs out of the room into the hallway. He closes the door behind him and is greeted by a laughing Marty Scurll.

Scurll: Jeez kid, I didn’t know you would be scared that easily.

Cameraman: Th...Tha.....That was a joke?

This makes Marty laugh even harder.

Scurll: Of course it was kid. I wanted to have some fun while I waited so I set that up.

Marty begins walking down the hall nonchalantly.

Now, let’s get on with this and start. Who’s my opponent this week? Cody? Aiden English? Kevin Steen?

Cameraman: You haven’t heard?

Scurll: Heard what kid?

Cameraman: You’re going one on one with Tommy End.

This stops Marty and he turns and smiles into the camera.

Scurll: God bless the EBWF management. Wow... Who would’ve thought I would ever say that.

Marty continues to walk down the hallway.

Scurll: I’ve wanted to face Tommy since they first appeared. After what he did to Jimmy I wanted to kill End and Dante.

Marty lets out a little chuckle.

Scurll: Yah I know what you’re thinking. I used to want to end Jimmy Havoc. Well times have changed ladies and gentlemen. Me and Jimmy are on good...ish terms and I have his back.

Marty stops outside of a room for a brief second and then enters. He goes and opens his suitcase.

Scurll: Shoot, hey kid remind me that I left my best suit on the dummy.

Cameraman: Yes Mr. Scurll.

Marty stands up and faces the camera.

Scurll: Let’s do this. Are you recording?

Cameraman: I’ve been recording the entire time Mr. Scurll.

Marty laughs.

Scurll: Well good job kid. Anyways I’m gonna start.

Scurll: This week it is Marty Scurll going one on one against Tommy End in what I can only imagine is the Main Event of the evening.

Cameraman: Actually Mr. Scurll Jericho and Cody are the main event. You’re in the semi main event.

Scurll: Damn well cut that part out kid.

Cameraman: Mr. Scurll could you please stop calling me kid? I’m older than you. And my name is Tom.

The cameraman turns the camera around and reveals that he is in his mid forties.

Scurll: Sorry Tom. Anyways, I’m gonna go again.

Scurll: This week it is Marty Scurll going one on one against Tommy End in the Semi Main Event of the evening. After weeks of Bullshit from Legion I am finally going to get my hands on Tommy. I know they have the numbers, but boy do I love a fight. I anticipate Dante and the rest of the numpties to show up and I can’t wait to break their fingers. End and Dante are clowns. How often have they defended the tag team titles? I don’t know the answer, but it’s not a lot.

Marty stops talking, looks down, and sighs.

Scurll: Look, I don’t know if I’m going to win. If it was a straight up one on one I know in my heart I’m better than him. But, it’s not. They brought in 3 new guys, including my someone who I thought was my friend, Hangman Page. However, I do know this: I can promise myself and the EBWF Universe that I will give it my all.

The scene ends with a fade out.
