SCENE ONE:TIW HQ ; Serai Leone's Personal Office. DATE:Monday February 20th 2011 WORD COUNT:without coding CAMERA:OFF NOTE:Camera is OFF meaning your character don't know about this unless he's a sneaky punk ass Curious George that follows James Shark everywhere he goes snapping photos of him natural black ass because he wishes to.... Tap Dat.... Dat Ass.
SERAI LEONE: It's open.
James Shark slowly opened the door. He closed it behind him and looked up at Serai Leone who was standing on top of a ladder, hanging up photos in her own personal office in TIW. A small company filled with rich new talent. The fourth company James joined to get into the Main Event Battle Royal for the vacant TIW Heavyweight Title. James shoved his hands in his pocket. Serai turned around and looked down at him. He just nodded at her. Serai slowly got off the ladder and perched on top of her desk. The room was silent and the awkward tension was just all around them. James broke the silence.
JAMES SHARK If you done assuming....then I don't know... , you tell me watchu want to know, I'll tell you what you want to know, and we'll go from there.
The past week Karly Zedic visited James Shark's home on Valentine’s Day. Altough nothing happened, Karly finally confessed her love for Shark, and even though Shark didn't express his feelings towards her by telling her that he has the same feelings... Serai somehow knew. It was as if she knew Shark too well. Since the visit, Karly Zedic met up with Shark in his locker room and spoke to him privately, before Shark kicked the camera men out, the whole world saw the two together about to talk about something that seemed important and personal.
Serai wrote on her blog and told Shark she wouldn't be someone's second option, she told him that she loved him and that he had to make a decision. Shark responded by pretending like nothing was going on, pretending like he didn't have the same feelings Karly had. He told her he wouldn't think about her today because he had a TIW Heavyweight Championship match to get focused for... however, now here he was, in her office. He had to talk to her now, she had to talk to him now. The two of them just needed to keep things at 100 and squash whatever was going on between the two of them.
After Shark broke the silence, Serai focused on him with her emerald green eyes, and sighed deeply before speaking her peace.
SERAI LEONE: Look Shark, like I said, I love both you and Shawn, I really do. As you know, in our business nothing is a secret. So yea I did hear about Shawn dropping by in the house, and I did see the footage backstage in IWF of you and her... I don't want to mess up your head before this big match no more than you want to fuck up mine before I go into my match in the CWF. You and I are alike on that aspect. When it is game time we are both ready to kick ass.
I just want to know, where do we stand? Are we still us or do I need to count this as another loss and walk away? I love you more than my own life, but if you want her back, I will respectfully walk away and not look back once. I need to know.
Serai stared at Shark heavily. She waited with bated breath and began to brace herself for whatever Shark's answer was, however it was hard to even tell what Shark's answer would be, because of the fact that he wasn't making any bit of eye contact. He scratched the back of his neck looking down at the floor.
When he looked back up at Serai, he couldn't help but immediately look the other direction. He couldn't take looking into her beautiful eyes, especially since he couldn't even word out what he was going to say next.
JAMES SHARK I don't fucking know Serai... I just...
At this time, he just couldn't believe he was here right now, but most of all he couldn't believe at how much of a loss for words he was at. This really never happened to him before.
JAMES SHARK I just don't know what to say.
He looked back up at her and just shrugged. He wanted to tell her that he loved her and that even though his feelings for Karly were strong, Serai was the only girl he got butterflies for, the only girl he ever put in the extra work for. He couldn't say anything because he had put himself in her shoes and he knew that if he got hit with news that Serai could be in love with another man... and he confronted her about it and told her to make a decision and all she could give him was a half assed "I don't know" then he knew he wouldn't be happy about it.
But right now he couldn't express himself at all. Right now was the worst possible moment to express himself. Just hours away from a huge battle royal championship match, he just couldn't do it. Once fight day comes closer, James Shark slowly turns into a violent, hungry, and very dangerous James Shark. At this very moment, a half assed "I don't know" was all he could really give her, it was the best he could really do, and he felt it inside... he was ashamed.
JAMES SHARK If you wanna... if you wanna take a break or.... man I don't know, shit.
Now angry at himself because every time he tried to say something he just sounded like an idiot. Still making no eye contact, he took a deep breathe, looked up at her for as long as he could and tried to finish this off.
JAMES SHARK: Right now I understand if you wanna just take a break or dipset away from me. I actually do, and on the real, I wouldn't blame you.
Serai replied back quickly, without any hesitation.
SERAI LEONE: I don't want to leave you. I don't think I could even if I tried. I understand that you are torn. I mean you have known Zedic forever... you two share a child together, you two have a bond... I get that.
She now focused her eyes on the floor trying her best not to cry, however its not a battle that she is winning at the moment. Her voice begins to shake. Tears fall unchecked from her eyes. She is unable to bring herself to look at him again. Each second that went by, her heart broke even more, and the more her heart broke, the more her spirit shattered. This is slowly killing her. The thought of her losing him is more than she is able to handle.
SERAI LEONE I love you James, more than I have ever loved any man I have ever been with. I know this situation is hard for you to deal with. It is literally killing me too baby. The possibility of losing you is more than I am able to deal with. Whatever you decide , I will support you regardless, I will love you regardless.
As Serai spoke out to him he still wasn't looking at her, he could still hear everything she was saying, and with every word she said he could really tell it was all coming from her heart.
However when he heard the crack in her voice. Shark closed his eyes for a moment then looked at Serai, she wasn't looking at him, her head down, she tried to compose herself. This just made Shark feel so uncomfortable.
Serai looked up at him and told him how much she loved him, and he felt his heart drop. He felt like an idiot, a loser.. he felt undeserving. With her standing in front of him telling him all of this and her eyes all watered up, he couldn't help but think that all of this was his fault. When she was done, all he could do was gently grab her hand, gently pull her towards him and give her a big hug.
He didn't realize how tight the hug was, but he just almost didn't want to let go. Right now he was starting to have a weird feeling. He felt the urge to express himself, and he felt like it was just some ordinary day, as if fight day was something that had gone by. James whispered to her.
JAMES SHARK Serai...
James pulled her apart from him, finally looked deep into her eyes, and let out a short smile, he thought he saw her flash a short one back. He put his forehead against hers then separated and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Again, he whispered to her.
JAMES SHARK I love you
James took a step back, he could feel it inside now, that feeling to express himself. It wasn't giving him a choice, and he had an idea of what was going to happen next. He couldn't let her see it, he couldn't let that happen. James took a few steps back until he felt the door knob against his back.
JAMES SHARK Babe... I'll holla at you after ma match alright?
Again, letting out a short smile, this one was easily noticeably forced. He was just hoping that Serai didn't hear a crack in his voice, he just really hoped she didn't. Serai watches as Shark backs away towards the door. She nods as she watches him leave.
SERAI LEONE Okay. I will see you around. Good luck in your match James.
He opened the door and slowly closed it behind him.Soon after Shark leaves her office, Serai walks to her window as the tears fall more freely. Her back facing the door, a heart wrenching cry is heard. Serai could hold it in no more. Falling into her leather office chair, she leans forward and cries uncontrollably. Feeling lost not knowing what to do.
Across from her locker room was a small water fountain, James walked over to it, and pressed down on the button. He put his face down onto it and let the cold waters wipe away the tears that were about to roll down his cheeks. For the first time since his mom passed before him, he felt that same feeling again. He took a deep breathe, and shook his head.
He leaned back on the wall for a bit thinking about what just happened in there. He looked at a clock on a nearby wall and based on what it read, they had been in there talking for a little over 5 minutes, but to him it felt like 5 hours. She really got to him in there. He didn't know what to do now, but all he knew is he didn't want to hurt her. He knew he had a lot of thinking to do.
But first thing was first. He had a TIW Heavyweight Championship to win.
In his blog, responding to Serai, Shark said that for the first time in a long time he wasn't going to be thinking about Serai in this match. He spoke out on a number of occasions that he would go back to that James Shark mentality. He wouldn't fight for her smile or her love in the ring, he would just go in there, and do his thing. Despite what happened here, what happened just now. He had about a little over four hours to get back into his focus for the match. Despite what happened here, what happened just now, he planned on keeping his word, and going into this match without Serai in his mind.
24 HOURS LATER
SCENE TWO:Shark & Serai’s Mansion DATE:Tuesday February 21st 2012 WORDS: 1,384 without coding CAMERA:OFF NOTE:N/A
HANSON COTTLE: Good morning champ.
I slowly opened my eyes to see Hanson in my room. He was holding a tray filled with a huge plate of breakfast. Bacons, toast, egg, sausages, all the good shit, and although I was still tired, I couldn’t help but keep my eyes open when I had all that stuff right in front of me.
JAMES SHARK: You hear that boo, Hanson made us some bre-
I stopped talking when I realized I was the only one in the bed. Hanson began to laugh as he placed the tray on the bed. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, as I looked down at my breakfast.
JAMES SHARK: Where she at anyways?
Hanson was about to leave the room but when he heard me ask him that question he turned around and shrugged smiling.
HANSON COTTLE: If I’m not mistaken she went out for some fresh air. She seemed kind of bothered.
I nodded my head. That was understandable. If I was in her position right now, I’d probably be ready to kill a motherfucker. I took my fork and cut off a piece of sausage and placed it on top of a piece of toast. I looked over at Hanson who was still in the room, it was as if he knew I was going to respond or ask him something else.
JAMES SHARK: She say anything?
Hanson shook his head. I made a face and didn’t say anything back. I really felt for her. Hanson walked over to the other side of the bed and sat down, he grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, he put the volume a bit up high, I immediately knew that whatever he was going to tell me, he didn’t want Shawn to hear, who was probably a few doors down in his room.
HANSON COTTLE: Karly was here James… she was here while Serai was awake. They both were downstairs.
I almost choked on my egg, I began to cough loudly until I grabbed a glass of juice and drank it all down. I looked back at Hanson who was dead serious. I took the tray and took it off my lap and placed it on a night table beside me.
JAMES SHARK: What the fuck? How come nobody tells me this shit? Did they say anything to each other? Did anything happen?
Hanson shook his head, giving me a facial expression as if telling me everything was alright.
HANSON COTTLE She apparently called your cell a number of times but you didn’t pick up… you were obviously sleeping, and no, no words were exchanged. Luckily I answered the door, we both didn’t know she was coming but she just came by to greet Shawn, and she dropped off Latoya’s cousin.
I looked up at the time. Fuck I had to start waking up earlier, it was fucking three o’clock in the afternoon. However maybe it was a good thing I wasn’t downstairs, I mean it would’ve gotten real awkward. I gave Hanson a weird look.
JAMES SHARK: Her cousin?
Hanson nodded, then laughed because he knew why I made that expression.
HANSON COTTLE: Not the older one, she has a younger one that’s about six years old.
I nodded my head slowly. Still wanting to know what else happened.
JAMES SHARK: So nothing happened? Karly came, they both didn’t say nothing to each other, didn’t look at each other, Karly left, then Serai left? And that’s it?
Hanson laughed, he realized it seemed so unbelievable but it was the truth.
HANSON COTTLE: They looked at each other a few times but it was one of those quick glances, none of them looked at one another while the other one was looking, and Serai left first, Karly stayed for a bit, introduced Shawn to Chante, and then she left…
I nodded once more.
JAMES SHARK: She say anything to you? Karly… about me?
Hanson nodded, letting out a smile.
HANSON COTTLE: She just went on about how she loves you.
Hanson let out a small laugh, but I wasn’t having it. I got out of bed, put on some jogging pants and flipped over the tray of food and watched it land all over the carpet. Obviously not the smartest move as someone would have to clean that up, but I wasn’t thinking about all that right now. I looked over at Hanson.
JAMES SHARK: This shit ain’t a joke no more, it ain’t fucking funny no more aight? Shit dog.
Hanson’s smile quickly disappeared. He now just looked understanding as he looked up at me. I just turned away and walked out of the room. I was in a real fucked up situation. Serai moved in with me about a week ago, and shit was real awkward when she got home. She congratulated me for winning the gold, and we talked about some random stuff for a bit. I guess she tried to not bring up the topic and make it seem like she had forgotten all about it, but I knew she was thinking about all this, I knew it was tearing her apart. I had to make a decision quick. I went over to Shawn’s room to see if he was okay. I knocked on the door on his room then opened it. He was watching TV in his room.
SHAWN ZEDIC: Hi daddy
I nodded my head and walked over to him and put my hand on his back and looked over at the television. Some next tree house shit was on.
JAMES SHARK: Why aren’t you watching TV downstairs?
Although Shawn had a huge plasma screen built into his wall, the television downstairs was like a movie theater, and Shawn never really used the television in his room anyways. Shawn shrugged and looked up at me.
SHAWN ZEDIC: Chante is downstairs…
I just looked down at him. I still didn’t understand why he was up here and now down there. Suddenly, Hanson came at the door, we both turned around.
HANSON COTTLE: James I think Shawn doesn’t like girls… yet
I gave Hanson the dirtiest look. I then looked back at Shawn who was nodding his head smiling. I pointed at Hanson angry.
JAMES SHARK: Fuck you nigga, why you putting that voodoo shit into ma son’s head.
Hanson shook his head all defensive.
HANSON COTTLE: No, James, its just the age he’s at right now.
I was in the worst possible mood right now, all I wanted to do was see how my kid was and this bitch nigga gotta go saying stupid shit to me.
JAMES SHARK: Fuck you, my son likes girls yo.
I turned around at Shawn, who was shaking his head, disagreeing with me. He had a weird look on his face.
SHAWN ZEDIC: Girls are yucky.
I had my mouth wide open in shock. I looked back at Hanson who had a face saying “I told you so”, I then looked over at Shawn and turned his television off.
JAMES SHARK: Fuck playin games dog, go down there and get on that tight little pussy!
Hanson tried hard not to laugh, so he turned around and looked away from me. Shawn quickly grabbed the remote and turned the television back on.
SHAWN ZEDIC: NO!
I stood there staring down at him still in shock. Hanson composed himself and came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
HANSON COTTLE: James, come on man, it’s time to get ready, you have a press conference to be at.
I had totally forgot about the press conference I had booked for myself. It was booked for 5, and last time I checked the clock it was 3. So right now I had to get ready, hop in the shower, and get my swag on. I looked over at Shawn shaking my head as I left the room.
JAMES SHARK: I shoulda bought yo faggot ass some dildos instead of them blowup dolls.
Hanson looked over to see Shawn’s reaction but he had no reaction. Shawn really didn’t know what I was ever saying to him when it came to insulting him.
SCENE THREE:Limo Drive to Press Conference DATE:Tuesday February 21st 2012 WORDS: 1,6,26 Words Without Coding CAMERA:OFF NOTE:N/A
As me and Hanson sat in the limo, getting drove towards the press conference, we found ourselves not really saying much to each other. This whole situation of mine as just really down to the press conference, she told me she was going to be busy with her movie production. All I wanted was to be with her right here and now, and it was something I wasn’t used to.
I was used to having one girl every day, I was used to having any girl I wanted. I was used to not having to worry about making a girl happy or not having just one girl on my mind. Ever since Monday I’ve been getting more feelings for Serai then Karly. On Saturday I had the strongest feelings for Karly. Nobody will know or find out what happened in that locker room that night, the same night that I got booted out of the tournament due to disqualification. It was something Karly did that made me lose focus.
Right now me not being with Serai was making me lose focus. I was supposed to be amped up for the whole press conference thing. I was supposed to be getting into that trash talking mood. I had a big match this Saturday, two fucking championships on the line, and right now I wasn’t even motivated to cop those titles. It could be because I’ve already proved myself in the IWF, and because I already was holding a world championship, but I think it was because I felt disgusted of myself.
I really wished Serai never found out about my feelings for Karly. I feel like she feels the same way I do except worse. I feel like right now whatever Serai’s doing she’s thinking about me, but she’s hurting just as much as I am.
I took a deep breath and really hadn’t realized that Hanson had his eyes on me the whole time.
HANSON COTTLE: Talk to me man. I hate seeing you like this. It’s not you, and you can’t be in this state of mind this week. I let it slide last week when you were facing someone like Libra, and in a Battle Royal with a bunch of people we knew you could beat… but now that you’re going to be in a match with three championships on the line on Pay Per View, we just can’t afford to not take this one seriously. I nodded my head as I looked at the floor. He was right. Three championships on the line was almost unheard of. I had to do this one big. I may never have the opportunity to be in a match like this again… maybe even nobody would get that opportunity. This could be the first and only time a match like this arises in IWF History.
I looked up at Hanson.
JAMES SHARK: What the fuck do I do dog. I’m fucking broken. I’ve lost my confidence before in 2009 in the NLWF I know how that feels, I remember the feeling of it, and right now I know that at this very moment, my confidence ain’t there. It’s fucking gone, It’s broken. I’m here with a fucking championship beside me and I don’t even care about it. I’m zero percent motivated for this match, zero percent motivated for this press conference, and I just feel like… man I just feel like shit. I’m telling you.
Hanson opened a cooler and tossed me a bottle of water. I saw it coming but didn’t bother catching it. I let it drop, and then picked it up, opened it, and took a long sip. Then closed the bottle and shook my head.
HANSON COTTLE: Do you only feel the way you do for Zedic because of Shawn? Because I see the way you look at Serai and the way she looks at you and that’s true love. I honestly don’t know what would be stopping something like that… the only thing I could think of is Shawn.
I shook my head. It was a good guess, the child we shared was one of the reasons, but it wasn’t all of it.
JAMES SHARK: It’s tough dog, and I feel you on what you’re saying cause I know what you’re talking about. I felt like that true love bullshit that them white folks put all over those chick flicks was nothing but a bunch of B.S that would never happen in real life, but that was until I met Serai, I mean when we met up and all that I really felt for the girl yo. I had that connection with her, and It was different. When I picked up chicks in the club, or got chicks numbers in autograph signings and my own press conferences, and this and that… I felt that confidence, but every time I talked to Serai, my confidence was just being a little Pussy, I was all shy and shit the first few times… its weird dog.
He gave me a weird look nodding his head.
HANSON COTTLE: Then what the hell are you doing thinking about Karly?
He raised an eyebrow and his question wasn’t stupid at all. Sometimes I asked myself that question, most of the time I asked that question when I was with Serai. When I had my arm around her, when I was holding her hand, when I was with her I would just think about that question over and over again.
JAMES SHARK: Karly… she’s just that typical white girl. When I was out on the streets, the only chicks I got were a bunch of sluts, the white girls paid no attention to me on the real. I was just a bum, a criminal, a low-life thug, Homeless on most days. Karly was the first chick I felt for. I met her when I became big in NLWF, she was packing mad cash and came from a fancy family… she reminded me of them Hollywood girls in the movies. Her parents would always talk shit about me over and over again, and despite all that she stayed with me. Even when I started out with a losing streak, she stayed, and supported me. She helped me get home when I was just drunk as fuck, and she helped me up in the morning when I got those beatings from dudes much larger than me in the NLWF. In that company, I was just starting out. It was my first time in professional wrestling matches… I got my ass kicked a lot. The NLWF is where I’ve suffered the biggest ass whoopings I’ve ever gotten in my life, and she was there for me throughout all that.
Hanson shook his head still with confusion.
HANSON COTTLE: I still don’t understand. Serai’s with you all the way too, she’s there day and night supporting you man.
I nodded my head, this was true.
JAMES SHARK: Dog it’s just that, I made a lot of mistakes with Karly. I got rushed into the good life way too quick. I was a nigga from the streets and all of a sudden with all the hype I got from NLWF, I got introduced to fancy cars, big houses, big pay checks, fancy clothes and much much more. There was a lot of women coming up to me and it was just a whole different life. I made a whole lot of mistakes and of those was dumping Karly… I don’t know bruh, maybe it’s just that… I feel like I miss all that. Me and her, those were the good ole days… you could say that those days were the best days of my life.
Hanson moved closer and sat in front of me now, he put a hand on my shoulder.
HANSON COTTLE: I don’t blame you man, you got your reasons, but this can’t go on forever. You’re going to have to make a decision.
I looked down at the floor and shook my head once again.
JAMES SHARK: The fuck do I do…
Hanson held my shoulder tight with a firm grip, I looked up at him and he nodded his head at me.
HANSON COTTLE: You make your decision, right now James. Who do you want?
I looked back down at the floor, it wasn’t an easy decision, nor a decision I could just make on the spot. All of a sudden the limo came to a stop and the limo driver opened our door. Hanson closed it, then pulled down the window.
HANSON COTTLE: Give us a second alright?
He looked back at me.
HANSON COTTLE: Shark, if you pick, you will feel much better. Just think about it, pick one, and let’s move on. I’ll give you five minutes if you want. This thing just can’t carry on tomorrow, it stops today man.
I shook my head and got up, opened the door, and stepped out of the limo. I looked over at Hanson.
JAMES SHARK: I can’t dog, I just can’t.
Hanson took a deep breathe. I was about to close the door but he quickly leaned in and held it open, and looked right at me.
HANSON COTTLE: Shark…, what happened in the locker room on Saturday before your match? What happened in there Shark, with you and Zedic? What got you so mad to get yourself disqualified out there?
I shook my head.
JAMES SHARK: We got a press conference to go to.
I shut the door on him and walked into the building with the cameras flashing at me. Let’s get this shit over with.
SCENE THREE:Press Conference DATE:Tuesday February 21st 2012 WORDS: 3,032 Without Coding CAMERA:ON NOTE:The camera is ON, therefore you can use any of this in your roleplay doeee.
MATCH PROMOTER: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another James Shark press conference for the IWF Nowhere To Run Event. This event takes place this Sunday Night, live on Pay Per View straight from the Quicken Loans arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Tickets are no longer available and are sold out. James Shark will compete in the co-main event, as he will be teaming up with Robbie Hart and will be facing off against the team of Ruben Ricardo Leon and Craig Hemming for not only the IWF Tag Team Championship, but also the IWF Heavyweight Championship and the High Impact Championship.
The fans that were seated behind the media began to clap and cheer. James nodded his head Slowly as he sat beside Hanson near the podium. James loved doing his own press conferences because he knew that there would be no haters showing up, and the only fans that would be there were his fans.
MATCH PROMOTER: If Robbie and Shark wins this match, then Robbie Hart will retain the High Impact Championship, and James Shark will become the IWF Heavyweight Champion for the second time, on top of that, both men will become the new IWF Tag Team Champions. However if Ruben and Craig win, then Ruben will become IWF Heavyweight Champion for the second time, and Craig will become the new IWF High Impact Champion, and both men will retain their Tag Team Champions.
The match promoter looked over at Hanson and nodded at him, signalling him that it would be His turn to go up.
MATCH PROMOTER: Right now, I would like to introduce to you, James Shark’s Striking trailer, Hanson Cottle. Feel free to ask him any questions once we notify you that the questions may begin. Everyone clapped as Hanson got up from his chair, put his hand on Shark’s shoulder and walked over to the podium. He cleared his throat and adjusted the microphone to point upwards to him.
HANSON COTTLE: Me and James both understand that this is a very big opportunity for him. We all know he has been faced with a few road blocks here and there which still comes from the whole court incident. However, I can promise you all that this Sunday Night, James Shark will be 100% focused on the task at hand, and that is defeating Ruben Ricardo Leon and Craig Hemming, and becoming one half of the IWF Tag Team Champions and the new IWF Heavyweight Champion. James has already won a Heavyweight Championship in the Total Impact Wrestling Promotion, and he has worked too hard to let Craig and Ruben come out of this match with the win. I myself have pushed him very hard in the gym, and I am happy with what I have seen thus far. There have already been quite a few knockouts as much as Submissions in the training sessions, and I think that its safe to say that this Saturday Night, we are going to see a very motivated and hungry James Shark.
Again the fans burst out in the cheers, however James Shark showed no emotions. He just sat there and nodded his head a few times to show a sign of life. Hanson looked over at James, he wasn’t doing a good sign of showing that he wasn’t worried, he patted Shark on the shoulder and motioned for Shark to get up on the podium. It was Shark’s turn for him to promote the match before the questions arose.
However when Shark got up and got over to the podium, he didn’t say a word.
HANSON COTTLE: James, say whatever you want to say.
James looked over at Hanson, and just eyed him down, Shark then shook his head.
JAMES SHARK: I’m waiting for the questions.
Hanson sighed. He knew something like this would happen as soon as James left the limo. It was time for James to say a few lines, THEN have the questions come out, but if James was in no mood to say a few things, what mood would he be in to answer questions?
HANSON COTTLE: You’re not going to say anything before the questions?
James shook his head. The Match Promoter then stood up and signalled the media that it was time for questions to be asked, and just like that, hands were raised, and hands were picked, as the reporters began to ask questions.
REPORTER: James, Natalie Kane recently spoke out against you, calling you a black stereotype, a disgrace to the business, and your heritage. I was just wondering if you knew about this and what are your thoughts on the comments she made?
Hanson looked over at James, hoping James would react and begin the shit talking. Instead he still had no notable reaction on his face. He just shrugged.
JAMES SHARK: She can say whatever she wants. I got nothing but love and respect for her and hopefully she changes her opinion of me…
It sounded very humble of him, and usually that’s what a trainer would be proud to see, but Hanson wasn’t having it. James didn’t look like he wanted to be speaking with respect, if anything it just looked like James wanted to get this whole thing over and done with. He looked out of it, and just ready to leave at any given moment.
REPORTER: Is that because she’s part of the LAX and you feel as though your still family to them?
James again shrugged, not caring.
JAMES SHARK: I’m apart of their family… they can like it, they can hate it. I love Serai Leone, I really do, and she loves me back, so I’m in their family.
Hanson took his hands and buried them into his face. He didn’t know how much of this he could take.
The more he heard, the more he wondered what happened to the real James Shark, as he looked around the room, he could tell that both the fans and media were surprised.
REPORTER: James is something wrong?
James shook his head as another reporter stood up.
JAMES SHARK: Nothing. I’m fine, never been better.
REPORTER: Are you sure, because yo-
JAMES SHARK: I’m fine dog.
The reporter sat back down as another one stood up.
REPORTER: James Shark, you’ve faced off against Ruben before, and I’m sure with all this time you’ve spent hanging around with Robbie Hart, you’ll be comfortable with him being your tag team partner, but you’ve never faced off against Craig Hemming, what do you make of him as an opponent?
And once again, James Shark just stood there and shrugged.
JAMES SHARK: Uh… yeah, Craig Hemming is a great athlete, good wrestler, all around powerhouse that trains real hard, and picks up wins. We’ll see who takes this match, to be honest I don’t know who’s going to win…
Now all around them were whispers. Hanson had enough of this, he stood up, and grabbed James Shark and escorted him out of the press conference before anyone can ask anymore questions. He would have let James Shark continue if James Shark was talking the way he did because he wanted to, but as he watched Shark back there while Shark was answering questions, he could see that Shark’s mind wasn’t even on the press conference. When Shark was down and depressed he was obviously humble. Right now a humble James Shark would get destroyed on Saturday Night, and it was Hanson’s job to make that happen. They walked back into the limo, but before they got in, Hanson noticed something. James Shark was smiling. James Shark turned around to look at Hanson.
JAMES SHARK: I got ma confidence back nigga
Hanson just stood there. He asked himself if this was all a joke, if James had tricked him.
JAMES SHARK: I got a plan… I know who I’m picking.
Hanson now knew it wasn’t a trick. All this time when his body was in the press conference but his mind was somewhere else, he must’ve been thinking about Karly and Serai. Well now he had his pick and he looked happy with his choice. He must’ve thought long and hard. Now there would be no more distractions from the task at hand…. Hopefully.

Craig Hemming, Ruben Ricardo Leon.
How the fuck are yall doin tonight? We’re one day before the big Pay Per View, so I’d assume yall are starting to panic, starting to sweat, starting to… re-think about the opportunities yall got in front of you for this match.
If I was Ruben right now, I’d be nervous as fuck. If I was Craig right now, I’d be even more nervous.
Right now both of you are probably holding onto your titles nice and tight. Giving it a nice little cuddle and all that good shit, and I don’t blame you for that, I don’t blame any of yall for that. Hell if I knew that I was going to lose a title I would do the same thing.
You both know you’re going to lose this match. You both just know. Saying that yall will win, saying that yall will beat us, saying this and that… all that would just be a lie. Me and Robbie Hart… we’re going to take this. I’m going to take the IWF Heavyweight Championship, and ½ of the Tag Team Championship and then I’m going to take off whoevers head I feel like taking off.
Ruben you lost to me already. Craig I never faced you but look at it like this…
You have NEVER faced a motherfucker like me Mr.Hemming. Nah, never ever faced a motherfucker like me. You don’t ever want to fuck with a motherfucker like me dog. You’re last match was against Thiago Olivera and Raikenza Graphitti. Where are they now? What have they ever done? Your tag team partner was Ashley Matthews. Come on now playa, you went from two nobodies to two former IWF Heavyweight Champions. But its all good dog, cause look at things on the bright side… at least you have a better tag team partne…… oh wait.
I would prefer Ashley as a tag team partner over Ruben actually.
Ruben is a bitch. Ruben is a snake. Ruben is a softie.
You can’t trust that motherfucker with anything. Not one thing. He’s like the only Mexican dude in the IWF so you’d think that he has a whole country behind him.. but he doesn’t, do you know why Craig? Cause he makes the dirty Mexicans look bad. All them Mexicans hate him, hell is own family is ashamed of him.
He’s in Upper Limit.
What the fuck is he doing with you? What the fuck is he doing accepting this match and facing me and Robbie? His own team?
If he was all about team, he’d knock you silly, then give your ½ title over to either me or Robbie, but nah. That ain’t the case cause Ruben isn’t about family, teams or any of that shit. Ruben is Ruben. He just thinks about himself, and he thinks about what will benefit him.
Somehow, he sees something in you Craig.
I guess it was love at first sight or some shit. Cause he sees something in you. Maybe it’s the way you destroy a bunch of nobodies, maybe it’s the way you dominate the New Blood division.
You know what? Maybe it’s the way you wipe your ass.
Either way, he sees something in you, and he thinks that he will benefit himself by staying by your side… or in his case, standing behind you like a pussy ass little bitch.
Craig, let me tell you something real quick. You’ll be lucky if Ruben helps you out in this match. Ruben wants nothing to do with Robbie
Hart. Ruben wants nothing to do with James Shark. Robbie fucking hart and James motherfucking Shark.
Who would want to fuck with us? Not you, definitely not him.
But I’ll tell you WHY he doesn’t want to bumb heads with us. I’ll tell you exactly why. E doesn’t want anything to do with us in a ring cause this is just suppose to be a match…a game…a sport, but Ruben here, he’s made it so personal. He’s made it so motivating to just beat his face in with steel stairs.
If you two bitches want to hold each others hand and walk out to the Ring with smiles and all that good shit, hey, that’s fine, it’s fine dog. I’m sure Ruben has been rubbing lotion on yo back and lube on yo dick while telling you…
"Everything is a….everything is a… going fine tomorrow ok mang? Is going to be fine ok Crack? Even if we a…. ok sorry mang this a english… is not very familiar with me a… even if we lose… we just moe lawn ok? Is good job, is good pay, you will enjoy! And if police come we hide under tree, is good fun and adventure! Is make you feel like a… como se diceee…. Badass?"
No motherfucker. No bitch nigga. No dumb fuck. No, No, No, No
Everything will NOT be fine. Everything will NOT be ok. Everything WILL not go all swell. No, hell nah, oh hell fucking nah.
This is going to be horrible, this is going to suck, this is going to be the worst ass whooping any of yall have ever gotten.
You’re in my way, both of you are in my way for that Heavyweight Championship. Both of you have something that is OURS. Craig, you want to TAKE Robbie Hart’s High Impact Championship.
I don’t know about yall bitches, but in my hood, if you want to go somewhere and somebody is standing in your way… and you smack em on the shoulder to get them to move, and they don’t fucking move….
You move them.
I don’t know about yall bitches, but in my hood, when someone has something that is yours, and they have something that they know doesn’t belong to them, and you want it back but they ain’t giving it to you…
You just take it back.
I don’t know about yall bitches, but in my hood, when some faggot ass white boy just comes up to you and wants to steal your secret Rebecca Black album
you beat his ass ON SIGHT.
Ruben Ricardo LeFaggotah I’m going to move you out of my way bitch.
Ruben and Craig We’re going to take OUR Tag Team titles.
Craig Hemming You ain’t going to take Robbie’s Rebecca Black Album.
Just give us your titles and yall won't have to get an ass whooping. It’s plain and simple. Why are yall making it so complicated? It’s easy. Just listen to ma main nigga, he graduated from Everest College yo, he knows..
And if yall still wanna be all stubborn and shit, then that’s fine too, once you all walk down that ramp, see all the upper limit signs in the air, hear the chants of Robbie and Sharky, that’s when yall motherfuckers will know… You already lost this match.
