A little bit of training
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2013 6:41 am
Seth Price: 5 more! You can do it!
(The scene opens inside a sweaty, warm gym. Seth Price is standing over an exhausted, drenched Santino. He is attempting some sit ups, but by looking at the state of him, hes been at it a while...or at least you hope he has! He seems to be getting slightly frustrated at the orders that Seth continues to be barking out)
Santino: I've already done 30! Give me a break!
Seth Price: 30? You think that's enough? Your facing off against pretty much the entire EBWF roster! Make no mistake Santino, this will be your toughest match ever!
(Santino pauses for a moment, and while taking huge gulps of air looks up at Seth in an almost childlike, puppy dog faced type of way)
Santino: I've looked at past rumbles, you hardly ever get many in the ring at the same time. Maybe 5 or 6 at the most? I figured I could just hide out for a while. Time my strikes, and last that way?
(Seth composes himself. Fully taking in what he's heard, and tries hard to come up with a response)
Seth Price: Your telling me, in a 30 man royal rumble, where some of the best superstars of EBWF will be competing for a shot at main eventing wrestlemania...you'll be hiding the entire time?
Santino: Well not the entire time. I mean obviously when I get the chance, I will strike! Strike with all my Italian passion and rage!
(Seth lets out a small chuckle. But it is clear it isn't a chuckle of amusement. More of disappointment and shock)
Santino: Look, it's a long match. How they say? A marathon not a sprint? I figure ill conserve energy. It's tactics!
(Santino smiles broadly. Believing he has come up with a master plan, and a sure fire way of winning the rumble. Meanwhile, Seth merely looks on in dismay. Perhaps contemplating whether it was a wise decision agreeing to train him)
Seth Price: Let me tell you now, from a man who has been there...hiding away like a child is not the best tactics. Sure, pick your moments, strike when you see the opportunity. But do not hide, you are a professional wrestler. After all, your fighting for a chance at the world title! You think a coward should be fighting for that title? You think the fans will respect a champion like that?
Santino: It worked for punk?
(Seth chuckles again, this time however it was out of amusement)
Seth Price: Well, that isn't how I work, it isn't how WE work. Not anymore anyway! And that is why we are here! Training hard so you don't need to hide! Once I'm finished with you, you'll be tossing blokes over the rope left right and center!
(With that new thrust of confidence sent Santinos way, seems to bring out a new lease of life in him. He continues with his sit ups and blasts out another 30 within seconds. While he carries on with his work out, Seth begins to question him a little about his fellow competitors that he will be facing at the rumble)
Seth Price: So, you had any thought about some of the guys you will be facing?
(Panting as he speaks)
Santino: Not really thought about it?
Seth Price: Your kidding me?!?
Santino: Well I was gonna do a bit of research and stuff, but then there was a king of queens marathon on! I love that show man! Only just discovered it you now, they don't show it in Italy...
Seth Price: Damnit Santino! I thought we turned a corner last week! I thought it was the 'new you'. Where has the focus and drive gone??
Santino: I TOLD YOU! King of queens man! I'm only human!
(Seth punches the wall. Not hard enough to hurt himself, but merely to make a point of his anger)
Seth Price: Why do i bother? I may as well step in that ring myself, I do most of the work as it is!
(Santino gets up off the floor, grabs the nearest towel and begins drying some of the sweat off. He places a hand on Seths shoulder...)
Santino: Look, I'm sorry ok boss? This is just how I do things? How I cope with stressful matches. I need a release. You know when it comes to game time, I get the results.
Seth Price: Don't start getting cocky with me now! You've only started getting the results since you've been with me! I'm your golden ticket here, and don't you forget it! And let's get real, your last two matches have been a walk in the park compared to what you will be facing Sunday night! I hope you understand this!
Santino: I do, I do! And I'm grateful for your help, just chill ok? It will all be fine!
(Seth simply tuts)
Seth Price: Just carry on with your sit ups!
Santino: You got it boss!
(Santino knuckles down and carries on with his sit ups. More and more sweat forming, making his head shine bright as the lighting reflects off it)
Seth Price: So Santino, while we have a few minutes, wanna start thinking about some of your opponents? I know we are here trying to prepare your body for battle, should we now attempt to prepare your mind?
Santino: You don't have to worry about that Seth! Santino was born with an excellent mind for battle! It's like a switch for me! It just turns on and I'm away...
Seth Price: How about you humour me?
(Santono looks confused)
Seth Price: Ah man! It means lets fucking do I anyway, ok?
Santino: Whoa, ok boss! You only need to ask! So, what you wanna know?
Seth Price: Well, lets start with some of the more mouthy guys you'll be facing...
Santino: ...The Miz??
Seth Price: How'd you guess! He's already been pretty vocal about the rumble! He seems to think he's the greatest there is, he forgets he's coming off a loss against Barretta and losing the tag straps! If I were a betting man, I would say the odds of him winning would be pretty low!
Santino: Exactly! I totally agree! The guy stands no chance! It doesn't matter what he's done in EBWF, that's all the in past! And clearly by the lack of achievements recently, that's a long way in the past! It's only a matter of time before he loses the only gold he has left!
Seth Price: I would say he won't be a champion after rumble! Barretta seems to be a new man, I don't think Miz has what it takes anymore! So moving on, anyone else you see as a threat?
Santino: I am Santino Marella! I fear no man!
Seth Price: Not even Tensai ?
(Santino scoffs loudly)
Santino: That man is a disgrace to wrestling! And an even bigger disgrace to the culture he 'thinks' he represents! That man has a bigger belly than a 9 month pregnant lady! He's a freak o feature! A mistake! Someone dropped the ball when they were making him! The only reason he's covering in tattoos is to hide his ugly face!!!
Seth Price: Wow! I can see there is no love lost between you to!
(Santino stands bolt up right, an expression of sheer disgust written across his face)
Santino: HOW DARE YOU! I do not love that man! Never have, never will! I detest everything he stands for!
(Seth chuckles)
Seth Price: Chill little man! It's just a saying we use over here! It basically means exactly what you said, that you hate him!
Santino: Oh, ok. How strange. Well in that case then yes, I do love him! I love him VERY much!
(Seth lowers his head and let's out a sigh)
Seth Price: I give up...
Santino: What? Why?
Seth Price: Forget it! So anyway, getting back on subject...I think we've dealt with Tensai now, what about Batista? He seems the only other guy beside Tensai who you have a real problem with? Right?
Santino: Correct Mr Price! He is the second fat ogre who I hate in EBWF! Only because he somehow stole a win against me, which I still feel was a fix! He took away what would have been a glorious debut for me! If it wasn't for that overground steroid abusing freak, I would have a clean sheet in EBWF! 3 and O baby! But he and Tensai will get what's coming to them! I will be the one to eliminate them at the rumble! That is my goal!
Seth Price: Hey, I know you have a vendetta against them. But don't get caught up in revenge at the rumble, that's a huge mistake! Your there to win, end of! If they get in the way, or you see a chance to get them, then sure go for it! But don't make the rumble purely about! When the lights fade and the shows over, you wanna be saying at the after show that you won the rumble! Not that you eliminated to fat pricks who are pretending to be wrestlers! No one will care about that Santino!
(Santino nods his head slowly. Seths words clearly sinking in and hitting home)
Santino: I see your point wise one, no one will care who eliminates them! They are nothing to no one! They are only in the rumble to bulk out the numbers in the first place. No one truly expects them to do anything of any worth! I shall now continue my training and become the greatest wrestler the world has ever known! Woopah!!!
(The scene fades to black, leaving the image of Seth standing above a tired and exhausted Santino. However a new light inside Santino has been lit, and he will allow nothing to stop him in his quest to become the greatest wrestler not only the EBWF has known but the WORLD!
(The scene opens inside a sweaty, warm gym. Seth Price is standing over an exhausted, drenched Santino.
