The scene opens with Big Country standing in what looks like a parking garage, possibly for this week's ReVolt venue. He rests his trusty pitchfork over his left shoulder, and the Fighting Spirit Championship belt straddles his waist. He appears calm.

Big Country: You know, Mr. Harlowe, for a man who claims to hold the moral high ground, you sure do say "f***" a lot.

He appears calm. On the other hand, he sounds livid.

Big Country: You also repeated a whole lot a nothin' while bargin' into Mr. Cruz's painting session, but that doesn't have all that much to do with anythin'.

He walks with his pitchfork over to the nearest concrete wall, so that he can rest it upright behind him.

Big Country: So, le's get one thing straight right here an' now. You can say it all you want, but you ain't the Fightin' Spirit Champion. Sure, Max Rowley will introduce himself as everyone's favorite "current-former" Fightin' Spirit Champion, but at leas' there's some kernel of truth to that. But on this day, July eighth of two-thousan' ten, Rufus Harlowe is not an' never has been the Fightin' Spirit Champion. 'Cause this right here?

Rick gestures to his Fighting Spirit Championship belt with his right index finger, shoved repeatedly via his forearm.

Big Country: This belt is aroun' my waist. An' for good reason. It wasn't easy beatin' Max to get it. I suppose that challenges come with the territory, which makes it all the sweeter for me. So, you can go ahead an' question my self-confidence all you want, an' try to convince everyone that I ain't got it. But lemme ask you somethin'. If I got no self confidence, why am I here?

Rick holds his hands out to his sides and looks around. Nobody else can be seen in frame, if that means anything to you. He refocuses his eyes on the camera and drops his hands again.

Big Country: No, I mean it. 'Cause I beat a whole lot of people who I know have self confidence to get to where I am, an' if a man with no self-confidence can't beat a man or woman with self-confidence, then obviously I shoulda lost all those matches.

A quick roll of the eyes before he continues.

Big Country: An' while we're straightenin' things out, there's a profoun' difference between a man who simply hates himself, an' a man who strives to better himself. The man who simply hates himself will take a long hard look in the mirror, say how much he hates himself, an' spiral into depression...

He rubs a non-existent tear away from his eye.

Big Country: ...eatin' corn dogs an' fat backs along the way, 'til he weighs more than I did at the peak of my obesity, or chokes to death on his own depression on the way there.

He flares his nostrils with a quick exhale through his nose.

Big Country: Yet, the man with ambition to better himself? That man'll take a long hard look in the mirror, discover his flaws, an' what? Spiral into depression?

With a quick sweep of his arm, he snatches up his pitchfork again.

Big Country: Hell no! That man is gonna find those flaws, an' do all that's within his power to reduce or eliminate them.

He twists his head around, and we hear a good collection of snaps emanate from his neck.

Big Country: Now, some flaws are forever. You're stuck with 'em. Like, for instance, the hole in your condom that gave way to Roy's conception.

Rick's been dishing out the verbal low blows as of late...

Big Country: But my obesity? Maybe it feels like it's been forever, but ultimately I can do somethin' about it. With a lot of discipline, I can cut it back to a less dangerous level.

He closes his eyes for just a moment, and takes a breath.

Big Country: I know, I know. For some reason or another, Mr. Harlowe, you want me to stay fat. Well, alright. We'll see if you still feel that way after I smash you into the ground with a Big Ball Drop this Sunday.

He pauses, staring into the camera, in order to allow that last line to bounce around in the viewer's head for a moment.

Big Country: Would I crush your sorry ass into the mat as badly if I weighed only 200 lbs? Probably not. But see, tha's really the only advantage bein' fat gets me. An' I've been presented with a second chance; the opportunity to change my situation for the better. This isn't some grass-is-greener nonsense. I'm not changin' for the sake of change. I'm losin' my weight so that I can live a healthier life an' wrestle with greater precision.

His gazes into the camera with his eyelids squeezed thin.

Big Country: So excuse me if I fail to see how that makes me a bad influence.

He raises an eyebrow. No, not the People's Eyebrow. Rick Nuller's Eyebrow, which I guess is the other one.

Big Country: An' if you think that means I hate who I am today? Obesity is jus' one part of me. An' of course I don't only bein' able to sit at a table when there are times I'd prefer the privacy of a booth. An' I don't remember the last time I could sit comftorbly in a movie theater or a teacup ride. But if I didn't appreciate myself on some level, I'd've never signed with FIW to begin with.

"Comftorbly", so you know, is the phonetic spelling for "comfortably". He is about to start walking, but instead he steps back and makes one last comment to the camera.

Big Country: Las'ly, never you mind that Terry Cane hasn't won any matches in FIW yet, 'cause wouldn't that jus' be the kicker if he ended up pinnin' you this Sunday...

He slings that pitchfork over his shoulder again, and walks out of view from the camera, whistling a verse from Unforgiven -- Terry's entrance song. The scene fades.

The screen fades and another opens, Rufus has an arched eyebrow and seems to be holding a hand held so that the view is extreme close on that large face of his. Rufus is busy stretching his lips from ear to ear in what seems to be a grin! Dear God! Just imagine it, that bitter old man with a grin!

Rufus: "Seems all the years of having to buy two seats on an airplane is getting to my good friend Rick Nuller. Just think about it! I would be angry too...but alas, I took care of myself when I stepped out of this business to take what I thought was my retirement. What'd Rick Nuller do? He opened a restaraunt! Because God knows that America could use another reason to increase the obesity epidemic. But what else did Nuller do? He expanded his waist, and let his skills go to waste!"

Rufus fidgets with the hand held, taking time to rub a finger along his goatee to itch an itch.

Rufus: "What did I do? I retired from the business and decided to give back to the thing that supported me. I opened up a school! And lookie there...one of my best students...Neo Carner! So...Not only do I have a better outlook on life than Nuller...but I'm a better mentor!"

Rufus chuckles.

Rufus: "It's simple really. Terry sucked when he came here, and then Nuller offered to help him out. How did he help him out? I don't know, do you? Does Nuller even know? Because from what I've seen, Terry hasn't learned anything! Now...maybe he's a bad student...but really now, we all know Terry Cane isn't a total loss. Had he followed and gone under my wing...Things would be a lot different. But alas, he followed the large path of Nuller to further his failures. What I think I'm trying to say is...Nuller is a bad teacher. A horrible one. All he does is eat. Seriously, when you think of Rick Nuller...what is the first thing that comes to mind?"

Rufus ponders for a moment.

Rufus: "Fighting Spirit Champion? No...He doesn't advertise that very much, but he does do it on some rare occasions."

Rufus thinks more, squinting his eyeballs.

Rufus: "Terry Cane's mentor? Well, he isn't any good at it, so....No. He doesn't really interact with the lad, really though. I mean, he's been 'mentoring' him for what...two? Three months now? How many times have we seen training montages? Maybe Rick offering some words of advice? I recall a few times...but I nothing really stands out, sort of just half assery on the part of Rick. I mean, if he was mentoring Terry wouldn't we all see signs of improvement? Does Terry have anything to show for beating me up and keeping his alliances with Nuller?"

Rufus nods slowly, and then shakes his head.

Rufus: "Of course not. Terry's in the same rut he started with. He can't say I didn't try to help him. What was I talking about again?"

Rufus snaps his fingers.

Rufus: "Oh, right right right. I was talking about the first thing we ALL think about when we think of Rick Nuller. What is it? That's right...Food."

Rufus lets that settle.

Rufus: "Almost EVERY single promotional material Rick Nuller puts out involves food in some way. I understand he's in the business of food but seriously...the guy eats out all of the time. I've never seen him once go into a grocery store. Maybe he's banned from them all, I know I wouldn't trust that guy around a storehouse of rations. So, Rick Nuller tries to defend his weight problems...by eating all of the time. Maybe he's eating healthy...who knows! All I know is he's planting it into childrens minds that they should be eating when he's talking. That kids should want to grow up and eat out all of the time, because Rick Nuller is teaching everyone money grows on trees! So not only is Rick teaching kids to be fat, he's teaching them to be lazy as well! Not to mention how to be irresponsible with money!"

Rufus chuckles, tapping a finger to his temple.

Rufus: "Think about it!"

Rufus laughs some more.

Rufus: "He does a bad job of mentoring Terry. He eats out all of the time. And, and! He wears overalls. Thus teaching kids that they shouldn't wear pants, because taking off pants is too much work! Why go to the all the fuss of belts when you can just string two ropes over your shoulders?"

Rufus lightly grins.

Rufus: "Sure, you can question my moral standings Rick. But seriously now. You call my child a mistake? I think calling somebodies existence an accident is far more damaging than the simple word 'fuck'. Maybe it's just your wrongful observations. Do I seem unhappy with my kid? I am strict with him, but that's to teach him how to be a man. Teach him the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows and that you can go out every night eating out at restaraunts and mentor people like a half ass. I'm trying to teach my boy to be...Not like you. You don't know what moderation is. You don't know what restrictions are. You think you can go around throwing your weight off of top ropes putting everybody in danger. I'm on to you Rick Nuller...and when I win that title from you...everyone else will see you for what you truly are too."

Rufus smirks, and the feed cuts out.

END

Big Country: I guess my lil' quip about your son must've rubbed you the wrong way. I should probably apologize.

The scene opens with Rick Nuller sitting in a hotel room with a TV behind him. He shows some remorse as he looks around the room.

Big Country: Yeah, that'd be the right thing to do. Tha's what Jesus would do.

He addresses the camera with full earnesty.

Big Country: Rufus, I'm sorry I implied that your son was conceived by accident.

A moment of silence, and then...

Big Country: Alright, now that tha's out of the way, le's once again go through the hassle of havin' to defend my character from somebody who's busy tryin' to destroy wrestlin'... by wrestlin'.

Rick holds up a remote control and presses a button. The camera focuses on the television behind him, on which Rufus Harlowe appears.

Rufus: "Seems all the years of having to buy two seats on an airplane is getting to my good friend Rick Nuller. Just think about it!

Because God knows that America could use another reason to increase the obesity epidemic. But what else did Nuller do? He expanded his waist, and let his skills go to waste!"

The scene on the TV pauses, and the camera focuses back on Nuller. This is going to be the only time that I mention the play and pause thing, because it's only going to waste space at this point.

Big Country: Expanded my waist...

Rick scoffs.

Big Country: Boy, don't act like you know me. You know how much I weighed when I was forced to retire from pro wrestlin' the firs' time around?

He stares into the camera.

Big Country: Four hun'red an' thirty six pounds. Expanded my waist... I lost weight while I was out! Let my skills go to waste... You do not wrestle straight outta a quadruple bypass. You jus' don't.

He shakes his head.

Big Country: Bob an' I have been runnin' BBBBQ before I even left. It started out as a backyard gig. An' you think that openin' a place for people to eat automatically increases the obesity epidemic? You underestimate jus' how competitive the restaurant business is. Try openin' one, lemme know how it works.

Rufus: "What did I do? I retired from the business and  decided to give back to the thing that supported me. I opened up a school! And lookie there...one of my best students...Neo Carner! So...Not only do I have a better outlook on life than Nuller...but I'm a better mentor!"

Big Country: Tha's nice. I happen to be a fan of Neo Carner. Not necessarily for his behavior, but for his wrestlin' expertise. Maybe I should send Terry Cane to you for trainin' since you seem so confident that you're better at it than me.

Rufus: "It's simple really. Terry sucked when he came here, and then Nuller offered to help him out. How did he help him out? I don't know, do you? Does Nuller even know?

Big Country: He's learned a lot under my wing. More than you think.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "What I think I'm trying to say is...Nuller is a bad teacher. A horrible one. All he does is eat."

Big Country: An' wrestle. An' exercise. An' poop. An' sleep. An' conduct business with Bob in order to continue the success of our restaurants. An' spar with Terry on a weekly basis. Really, Rufus, these generalizations help nobody.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Seriously, when you think of Rick Nuller...what is the first thing that comes to mind?"

Big Country: That up until recently, I was the fattest man in the fed, yet despite my shortcomin's, I was still able to win -- an' even defend -- the Fightin' Spirit Championship.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Fighting Spirit Champion? No...He doesn't advertise that very much, but he does do it on some rare occasions."

Big Country: No? Should I be sayin' Fightin' Spirit in every sentence? Because I talk about the Fightin' Spirit championship quite often, more than I'd like. An' if it's not me talkin' about the Fightin' Spirit Championship, it's somebody else usually. Trust me, the Fightin' Spirit Championship comes up in my promos. You're jus' not payin' enough Fightin' Spirit attention.

Rufus: "Terry Cane's mentor? Well, he isn't any good at it, so....No. He doesn't really interact with the lad, really though. I mean, he's been 'mentoring' him for what...two? Three months now? How many times have we seen training montages? Maybe Rick offering some words of advice? I recall a few times...but I nothing really stands out, sort of just half assery on the part of Rick."

Big Country: Why? Do I have to film each an' every one of our sparrin' sessions? Trainin' montages went outta style in the 1980s. Does Max film trainin' montages when he's workin' with Mr. Arturo? Do you film it every time you train your boy? Not to mention, I've reprimanded Terry Cane for his behavior several times, a few of which were in public. Like when he turned around an' decked Dr. Clay at that Deadlock get-together. An' though I wasn't in a position to do anythin' while he chose to beat on Chris Cage, I did rebuke him publicly afterward.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "I mean, if he was mentoring Terry wouldn't we all see signs of improvement? Does Terry have anything to show for beating me up and keeping his alliances with Nuller?"

Rufus nods slowly, and then shakes his head.

Rufus: "Of course not. Terry's in the same rut he started with. He can't say I didn't try to help him. What was I talking about again?"


Big Country: So maybe I'm not that good a trainer. Really, this is my firs' stab at it. Like I've said, Terry an' I continue to learn from each other. Education is not a one-way street.

Quote:
 
Rufus snaps his fingers.

Rufus: "Oh, right right right. I was talking about the first thing we ALL think about when we think of Rick Nuller. What is it? That's right...Food."


Rick rolls his eyes.

Big Country: Oh, here we go again with this angle...

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Almost EVERY single promotional material Rick Nuller puts out involves food in some way. I understand he's in the business of food but seriously...the guy eats out all of the time."

Big Country: I suppose it's time for a friendly reminder. The agreement I made with Bob was that while I was on tour with FIW, I would personally inspect our restaurants, or, where our restaurants are not available, visit the competition to see if we've got anythin' to learn. What, I'm gonna stop doin' that now 'cause you made a comment about it in some promo to defame my character?

Quote:
 
Rufus: "I've never seen him once go into a grocery store."

Big Country: Tha's because you don't stoop to the level of stalkin' me around. Leas' I hope you don't. No, really... Why would I film myself at a grocery store? You're really reachin' here, Rufus.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Maybe he's banned from them all, I know I wouldn't trust that guy around a storehouse of rations."

Big Country: Ha, ha, ha.

Probably the least sincere laugh you've ever heard come out of Rick Nuller.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "So, Rick Nuller tries to defend his weight problems...by eating all of the time. Maybe he's eating healthy...who knows!"

Rick raises his hand. He doesn't get excited or anything, like you might imagine a child doing. No, he just calmly raises his hand up at about head height.

Big Country: I do. Ask me.

He lowers his hand just as calmly as he raised it.

Big Country: Yes, I do eat healthy. I wouldn't be smart of me not to considerin' my current condition.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "All I know is he's planting it into childrens minds that they should be eating when he's talking. That kids should want to grow up and eat out all of the time, because Rick Nuller is teaching everyone money grows on trees!"

Big Country: So once again, I'm a bad influence for the children. You know why most of my promotions are in restaurants? Multitaskin'. When you don't got a whole lotta time, you gotta combine activities. Sure enough, I'm mos' comfortable when I'm eatin' or when I'm walkin'. You want me to film my promos while I'm sweatin' on the weights, all outta breath an' unable to think straight?

Rick looks up briefly, then answers his own question.

Big Country: What am I sayin'? Of course you do. Then you could continue to call me a horrible person -- jus' like Max, incidentally; maybe you should try a new angle -- without me able to properly defend myself.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "So not only is Rick teaching kids to be fat, he's teaching them to be lazy as well! Not to mention how to be irresponsible with money!"

Big Country: My finances are jus' fine, thanks for askin'. Ten percent goes to the Lord, I have travelin' money, eatin' money, various miscellaneous expenses, an' no debt. Children, they don't have money. They shouldn't have money. They have their parents' money. An' it's ultimately up to their parents to decide whether they're gonna be eatin' at restaurants every day.

Rick sits silent for a moment.

Big Country: Since when is this children's programmin', anyway? An' since when is it your responsibility or mine to raise someone else's children? That's the parents' job. I'm not gonna repeat the same goddamn wishwash every time somebody accuses me of bein' a bad influence on the children.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Think about it!"

Rufus laughs some more.

Rufus: "He does a bad job of mentoring Terry. He eats out all of the time. And, and! He wears overalls. Thus teaching kids that they shouldn't wear pants, because taking off pants is too much work! Why go to the all the fuss of belts when you can just string two ropes over your shoulders?"

Big Country: ...What do my overalls have to do with anythin'?

Rufus: "Sure, you can question my moral standings Rick. But seriously now. You call my child a mistake? I think calling somebodies existence an accident is far more damaging than the simple word 'f***'. Maybe it's just your wrongful observations. Do I seem unhappy with my kid? I am strict with him, but that's to teach him how to be a man."

Big Country: My apology earlier was sincere. If it's an excuse you're lookin' for, I don't take lightly to havin' my character assaulted. I got tired of it when Max was doin' it. Now I gotta defend it all over again with your pain in the ass.

Quote:
 
Rufus: "Teach him the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows and that you can go out every night eating out at restaraunts and mentor people like a half ass. I'm trying to teach my boy to be...Not like you. You don't know what moderation is. You don't know what restrictions are. You think you can go around throwing your weight off of top ropes putting everybody in danger. I'm on to you Rick Nuller...and when I win that title from you...everyone else will see you for what you truly are too."

Big Country: You're so sure of yourself? Then le's cut this bulls*** an' see who's really the better wrestler at Summer of Sin. But before that, I wanna make sure Terry Cane gets the opportunity to embarrass you.

He turns around to look at the television, studying Rufus Harlowe's smug grin, rubbing his chin as he contemplates his chief opponent.

Big Country: I see a T.C. Drop in your future.

The scene fades.
