“Cause if you’re willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who’s got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something…and you’re told no, even after you paid your dues? Who’s got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It’s your right to listen to your gut, it ain’t nobody’s right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!”-Rocky

Cars driving by on a nice cool day somewhere in Colorado. You got your citizens walking by. Going in and out of all the stores. In the distance the sound of a street bike is heard and it grows closer and closer. Then it comes into sight. The camera focuses on the bike as it comes to a stop in front of a wrestling gym. The man flips the kick stand up and takes off his helmet. It's none other than UWA's Pauly O'Connor. He enters the gym and approaches his friend Shonn who is sitting outside the ring as two giants are going at it in the ring.
Pauly:"Ey Lad."
Pauly takes a closer look at the men in the ring and then turns his attention back to Shonn.
Pauly:"That who I think it is?"
Shonn: "Aye, it be."
Pauly:"Whot they be doing here?"
Shonn glances over at the practice ring.
Shonn: "Appears they be boxin' witout gloves like th' daft twits they kin be."
Pauly looks again and laughs a bit as they two continue to conversate.
Pauly:"Aye I see that. Men like them could always be use to us. I mean with the war that'd be headin' our way in UWA. Consider talkin' them inta stickin' 'round a wee bit?"
Shonn nods.
Shonn: "Aye, thet i have."
Pauly:"Good thinkin' lad. I mean I personally dinna need them fer my match, but sure we got some targets on our back as of recently."
Pauly takes another look over as the two aren't taking it easy on each other. They are really trying to beat the shit out of each other.
Pauly:"I mean Lacey has proven tae be a tough lass and all, but I think I can handle meself on that note."
Shonn laughs.
Shonn: “Aye, ye neva know.”
Pauly also laughs.
Pauly:"Ye right there lad. Never underestimate any opponent. Male er female, but i think they can just sit back and watch."
Shonn shrugs.
Shonn: “They’ll be arond if they need tae be.”
Pauly sizes the two giants in the ring again and nods happily.
Pauly:"Aye, that be a good thin lad. Ye let Alice know yet? Or nae?"
Shonn: "She's heard of their exploits, but nae net met them."
Pauly:"Ye know she dinna like surprises. I think ye should have them come by the arena, Have her meet them. Hopefully the lass takes tae them bein' 'round. Like I said the extra muscle these two behemoths possess will always be a help."
Shonn: "Already arranged."
Pauly:"Good."
Pauly looks back at the ring one last time as the teo men are still pounding away at each other.
Pauly:"Glad these monsters are on our side lad. I dinna wanna be on tha recieving end of what they can do. Shite woulda hurt fer weeks."
Shonn grins darkly.
Shonn: “Ye have nae idea…”
Pauly:"And I dinna wanna have an idea."
Shonn can’t help but laugh.
Shonn: “Aye, that be true, Rabbit. They be big dogs thet like tae block the hole before ye jump donnit.”
Pauly:”As long as I ain’t tryna jump down tha hole they be blockin. I say let ‘em go fer it. Anyways man. Let me get in the locker room and change, Got some warming up tae do meself. Talk tae ye when I’m done Hatter.”
Shonn nods.
Shonn: “Aye, spose i should go put them on their leash meself.”
Pauly nods as he stands up. The scene fades as he walks away.
Pauly:"Ey Lad."
Pauly takes a closer look at the men in the ring and then turns his attention back to Shonn.
Pauly:"That who I think it is?"
Shonn: "Aye, it be."
Pauly:"Whot they be doing here?"

Shonn nods.

Pauly is seen once again on top of Aerynn’s warehouse. He sits alone this time. No friends at this point. He glares with a blank look to the horizon above. Thinking of what is to come on Mayhem. He steps into the ring with a second shot at UWA gold. His first chance was against then CHampion, and one of his best friends Aerynn. A match he did not want to go into, in the first place. He suffered an injury and Aerynn got the better of him. Will results be the same this time around? Will things be different because his is not fighting against one of his childhood friends? Many could tell Pauly held back in his first title match, considering the circumstances. Which was always his biggest regret. Not giving it his all, but things are different this time. Pauly is different this time. He thinks different. He acts and reacts differently. People have seen it since his return. People have seen it since he reconnected with Aerynn. Since the arrival of his other childhood friend Shonn. Something changed in Pauly when he had these two behind him. SOmething changed Pauly. For better or worse? Depends on who is in front of him. Guess our New Television champion will see for herself. WIth that being said Pauly’s phone begins to ring.
“Sorry Da, not right now.”
He pulls the battery from his phone and places the pieces back in his pocket. He continues to glare upon the horizon as he just speaks, seemingly to no one.
“First thing. Congrats Lacey. Ye said ye were ginna win that TV title. And ye did just that. Ye did it all by yerself too. Congrats on gettin in Amy’s head. Congrats on getting her all riled up, all heated and mad. Ye did exactly whot ye said ye was ginna do. Tha thing is, when someone is easy going like her. When someone is niave and gullable like her, just ‘bout anyone coulda done that. So congrats, but dinna let it get tae yer pretty little blonde head of yers.”
Pauly pulls out a cigarette from his pocket and sparks the end. He slowly takes one puff and exhales as the words continue to come.
“I see ye like tae think yer hot shite or somethin. Thinking ye can string sumone alon cuz ye look all pretty and shite. Poor Bob. I feel bad fer tha guy. Making him think he stands a chance. All when ye said yerself yer just trying tae see if he quits er not. I understand playing hard tae get, but damn lass. The man is coocoo for coco puffs and ye just letting him sip the milk? As much as he has tried tae do fer ye, and ye give tha man nuttin in return? I tell ye one thing. Ye wouldn’t be pullin’ that shite with me. I ain’t fooled by tha good looks like him. I ain’t dumb and easily rolled on.”
A few more drags of his smoke are taken. Pauly shows no emotion. Just that same blank glare on his face as he looks upon the horizon and continues to speak.
“I ain’t a person yer gunna be able to invoke rage in. I ain’t a lad ye gunna be able to make mistakes by being angered. I ain’t Bob. I ain’t Amy. Ye see, thas the plus side tae being a heel like meself. I am a bad person Lacey. Ye are seemingly a bad person as well. What is tae come when we clash in that ring? I see all hell breaking loose. I mean look at yer success since joining UWA. Ye already claimed gold. Ye have won many o tough matches. Matches that people probably didn’t think ye could win. Ye showed them that yer all about taking care of business. I applaud ye fer that. Ye did one thing that slipped through my fingers once before. Ye did something that I won’t let slip through these fingers again. Ye won gold. “
Pauly takes the final drag of his cigarette and flicks it over the edge of the warehouse.
“Now some would said, I had me chance. Some would say I blew it. Aye, I did. That was then, and the people upstairs seem tae think I have earned another shot at UWA gold. So I guess this lad is doing something right, just like ye. Not as quick, but I’m gettin’ there lass. Ye see tha first time I went fer gold I was still fresh in tha business. Only a couple months ever inta me wrasslin’ career I earned that shot. Now I returned, with a betta understandin’ fer thin’s. A fire under me ass. Not caring if tha people liked me presence.”
Pauly rubs his palms together as a smirk begins to grow across his face.
“Ye see, I was all ‘bout pleasing the people my first go around. All about tryna get the fans tae love me. Getting my fellow superstars tae love me. I learned the age ol’ lesson that nice guys finish last. I see ye learned that ages ago. Considering ye been around tha business longa than I have, Ye def know more, fer now.”
Now the hands come together and he cracks his knuckles. That smirk has turned into a evil little laugh.
“Ye see. I am willin’ tae do whateva is needed tae climb the proverbial ladder. I am willing tae do anything neccessary. I dinna care who I got tae hurt. I dinna care who I gotta take out. Weather its ye. Yer little boytoy yer stringin’ along. Look what me, Aerynn, and Shonn been doing. We letting people see tha lengths we are willin’ tae go tae. Now go on. Laugh. Say it didn’t pay off cuz Aerynn lost tae Brody at tha pay per view. Aye she did, but that war is far from ova. The war with K.I.S.S and all of them is far from ova. They now know what fucked up things that are ginna keep on coming. We dinna care who gets hurt along the line. We will be a dominant force here. We ain’t gunna buckle unda the pressure like the Children did. We have a real bond. Not tha shite like Joshua was tryna pull. He had no loyalty. He lead by fear. That obviously dinna work. Look where The Children are now? All running around like lost little orphans with no one tae guide them.”
The laughs dies down a bit as the serious look returns to Pauly’s face. No longer does he just glare upon the horizon. His attention is now turned directly a the camera. Like he is staring right into Lacey’s eyes.
“Gealtachta. A bond forged by friendship. Not anyone one of us is tryna lead tha group. Not any one of us is tryna say we are top dog around here. We work as a unit. We fight as one. We win as one. And obvious, at times we lose as one. AS ONE, not like othas who think they should be top bitch in their groups ‘round here.”
The smirks emerges onto Pauly’s face once again.
“Ye see, yer little games dinna work on me. Ye ain’t ginna make the rage build. Ye ain’t gunna get me blood boiling. Fer the rage is always there. My blook is constantly boiling. I ain’t ginna let ye play yer little head games with me Lacey. I ain’t ginna let ye make promises of victory like ye did with Amy. Sorry lass. I will promise ye a fight ye will neva ferget. I will give ye a face that will burn inta yer purrdy little mind fereva. Once we clash in that ring, ye will neva ferget tha night ye fought me, Pauly O’Connor. Quite possibly UWA’s future Television Champion. Now as much as I would love tae gaurentee it, being all brash and cocky like I am, but I know anythin’ can happen. I can have tha match in tha bag, then bam. In the blink of an eye, ye can turn things around and tha match can be ova. Is that ginna happen? Who knows.”
Pauly now stands on his feet and begins to pace back and forth quite slow.
“I know this lass. I am willing tae do anythin’ needed tae walk out of Mayhem as Television Champion. Just like ye. Let’s give these people a match the dinna expect tae be unforgettable. I want ye tae aim tae take me head off, as I will be doin’ tha same lass! See ya soon!”
“Sorry Da, not right now.”
He pulls the battery from his phone and places the pieces back in his pocket. He continues to glare upon the horizon as he just speaks, seemingly to no one.
“First thing. Congrats Lacey. Ye said ye were ginna win that TV title. And ye did just that. Ye did it all by yerself too. Congrats on gettin in Amy’s head.
