Philip Joseph [vs.] John Tolly

I will not buy this record, it is scratched.

The scene opens up and we see a White Bentley Phantom pulling into the arena. The driver gets out and opens the back door and out comes Philip Joseph wearing a black Armani suit with his gator shoes and his Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses. He reaches into the car and grabs his bags, he then turns and heads inside to hit locker room.

What am I going to do? I have to face my friend John Tolly this week. The man I feel like I betrayed. I told him I would team up with him and now I am apart of The Empire and he is on the outside looking in. This is going to be a very difficult match.

Philip walks into his locker room and tosses his bags on the couch. He removes his suit jacket and Dress shirt which reveals bandages wrapped around his waist. He bends over and grins in pain.

PJ: Damn that hurts. I know what your thinking, what happened to him, Well this is the outcome from Fallout. Fallout was a total bust for me. I went out to prove a point and I was the second man eliminated. It looked like I was going to eliminate Bazz and what happens he got lucky and caught me with an uppercut after I saved myself from elimination. But you know what that's behind me now. I am now apart of what will become the greatest thing to ever grace this company. The Empire will soon run this place and there isn't anyone who can stop us. We have the best talent this company has to offer on our side.

What have I done. This is not me. I have never been a fan of Joining a group like this. Its not my style. I am the kind of guy who likes to run Solo or with one other person. Did I make the right choice? I will just have to wait this out.

PJ: Any ways enough about The Empire, Lets look at my match this week. I get to face an old friend of mine John Tolly. And I happy about this? No way, this is a man I was set to side with and run together but an offer came along that I feel was better for my career.

Is this really the best thing for my career or is Corey going to use me to get what he wants? I don't even know anymore. A part of me is telling me I did the right thing and on the other hand I feel like I sold my soul to the devil.

PJ:John I don't want to fight you this week. I am going to set things straight now. I am refusing to wrestle you. When we walk out and step into that ring to face each other. I am just going to shake your hand and walk away, I hope you are willing to do the same. I have known you for years now and I am not willing to jeopardize our friendship for Corey and The Empire. Sure Corey will get mad but he will just have to get over it, or I will walk away from him and the rest of them.

Am I making the right choice? Will Corey ruin my career? All these things and I have no answer for them. I am just going to have to roll with the punches.

Philip walks over to his mirror and begins to unravel the bandages from his lower abdomen area. When the bandage is off it reveals a very nasty bruise. He looks down and shakes his head in disappointment.

PJ:Corey I am letting you know now that I have no plans of following through with this match and eliminating John. I know Savage said he trusted me, but Tolly has been my friend for a very long time and I am not willing to lose that. John I trust that when I reach out to shake your hand, you do the same. Because if I get the feeling you try and screw me or stab me in the back. I won't be afraid to end your career. But lets hope it doesn't come to that.

Can I trust John enough to not try and screw me over? I don't know what to do anymore. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place here. No matter the outcome, either way I lose something. Will it be years of friendship or will I fall at the hands of The Empire.

PJ: Well John you have been warned. Lets go out there and do what is right and just walk away. I am not going to fight you, unless you turn on me. So consider yourself warned. Because like I said if you double cross me, it will be the last thing you ever do. And Corey if you have a problem with me walking away from this fight then I am willing to face the consequences. So consider yourselves warned.

Philip puts his shirt back on and pushes the camera out of the way as he heads out of his locker room and heads back towards the parking garage as the scene fades to black.
