["Sensational" CJ Swanson]

[On a sunny afternoon in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a bright red Mustang sits in front of the Boys and Girls Club. The owner of the car isn’t far away as a man wearing a black suit and dark sunglasses is CJ Swanson; his hair slicked back with hair gel; a perturbed look on his face.]

CJS: Marks and smart marks, a crime has been committed. Now, this isn’t a crime of passion or of minor detail but of great offense to both true wrestling talent as well as me. Once again, RCW has failed to recognize my talent, my credit, to this company and have stuck me in with a mediocre opponent named Lenny M Lansing. Truly, who cares about Lenny M Lansing in the grand scheme of things? He’s nothing more than an overpaid peon who makes the marks go “Oh” and “Ah” with his idiotic gymnastic maneuvers. He may get a 5.5 from a judge at the Olympics during the floor exercise but he’ll never compare to the perfect 10 that I am.

[CJ removes the glasses from his eyes; folding them in; tucking them away in his pocket.]

CJS: Now, like I said, you’re certainly known for your leaping ability Lenny. However, “Leaping Lenny,” that won’t make a difference when I ground you and put you through SSDD. I will make a further example of you Lenny as RCW will realize what happens when they try my patience. You haven’t been active as of late, Lenny, and you’ll soon learn why this wasn’t the week to come back.

[CJ walks towards the entranceway but doesn’t walk inside. Instead, he kneels down and places his hand on the sidewalk of the Boys and Girls Club.]

CJS: Do any of you think this place would’ve mattered had I not come to this god-forsaken company? Do you think this little club full of snot-nosed punks would register as anything more than a blip, like any small-time bingo hall or VFW, if I would not have graced you all with my presence? You should thank your lucky stars that I even did so as I’ve been offered to appear on every, single wrestling promotion on this entire continent. My coming here, my ability to overlook the downfall of dingy hotel rooms and ugly, toothless marks in the crowd has turned this place into hallowed ground after only one appearance.

[CJ pats the cement walkway before standing up and stomping it with his shoe; still making sure not to scuff his expensive shoe up.]

CJS: The point being is that money doesn’t register as a thought to me; I have plenty of it. Everything about me, from head to toe, is custom made goods. From my Italian shoes to my Rolex watch…

[CJ holds his watch up to the camera with great delight. After a few moments he places his arms back at his hips.]

CJS: …I reflect the perfection that a true athlete should. Nobody exudes confidence and greatness as I do as it was ingrained into my DNA. I am destined to be the best and I’m simply sensational; all of you simpleton marks know it…I’ll prove it against Little Leaping Lenny.

[CJ approaches his car; clicking the button on his keychain to turn off the alarm. He opens the door; allowing a glimpse of a beautiful, blonde-haired woman in the passenger seat. CJ closes the door as he enters the car but rolls down his window.]

CJS: Now, I have more pressing matters to attend to; namely showing this adoring fan why that old World Pro fool that I’ve heard too much about couldn’t compare to this…rock hard.

[CJ raises his eyebrows before starting up the ignition and peeling off through the parking lot; towards the main highway.]

[Lazarus]

Lenny “M” Lansing unfolds a steel chair and places it in the center of a small room. His buddy, Noah walks over with a hand-held camcorder.

Noah: So you want me to just stand here and record you talking into the camera?

Lenny: Yup, that would be the plan.

Noah: Couldn't you have gotten Melvin or that smokin' hot Bettie Lee to do this?

Lenny: I could have but I decided to ask my good buddy to do it instead. Just hit the record button, I don't plan on taking long.

Noah: Fine, as long as we can get this over with so we can go back to watching the Wings' game.

Lenny sits down on the chair as Noah gives him a count down before hitting the record button. Lenny looks directly at the camera as he sees the little red recording light come on.

Lenny: Good evening RCW fans, it has been awhile since you've seen me in front of the cameras and I apologize for that. I have been down on myself for losing my past few match ups here in Razorback Championship Wrestling but I am here right now to tell you that I plan on changing things.

Lansing leans back in the chair.

Lenny: As you can see I have decided to grow my hair out and I am back to my old hair color but that is just an outward change of what I have changed within me. I am going to be competing at Southern Dynamite this coming Friday night and I plan on proving that I can do better than I have in the past.

I am not proud of my past defeats but I can't dwell on them, for if I do... I most likely will repeat them. I am looking forward to going out to that ring in just three more days and putting on the match of my career. I will do so against a recent now comer to RCW, “Sensational” CJ Swanson.

Lenny runs his hand through his hair.

Lenny: I am so glad to see another young, arrogant athlete who feels they are God's gift to professional wrestling... after all, we don't already have enough of those types around here.

CJ, I know you don't respect me and you feel I am just a waste of your time. We'll see if you still feel that way as I come flying through the air and take you down. I will entertain those die hard RCW fans at the Boys and Girls Club Friday night as I get back to adding some wins to my record.

Lenny sits forward.

Lenny: You have already shown you can talk a big game CJ, but I look forward to seeing if you can back any of that talk up once the bell rings. Although you might disagree, I will tell you that it is one thing to defeat Willy Franklin, it will be a totally different effort to defeat me.

I realize my record doesn't really reflect such a statement but I've got to start somewhere, might as well be against you. Everybody sees that you are completely full of yourself so I will just have to knock you back down to Earth, popping that over-sized head of yours.

You claimed I will realize that this match was not the right time to get back to competing, well I plan on proving it is the perfect time. Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today? Seize the day, take advantage of the moment... that is exactly what I plan on doing at Southern Dynamite.

Once I get my hand raised in victory, I hope you will take a step back and reexamine yourself when it comes to this company and where you fit in. I am not saying you're not talented, because I believe you are. There is a difference though to being talented, and being as great as you seem to think you are.

Lenny leans back again.

Lenny: Get ready Swanson because “Leaping” Lenny is coming to prove himself. I will not go down without a fight, I will not back down, I will be right there in your face CJ. Whatever ends up happening in this match, I can promise you that I will make you... FEEL THE ADRENALINE RUSH!!!

Lenny stands up as Noah stops recording.

Noah: Nice, now let's go find out if Detroit has scored yet against Phoenix.

Lenny: Alright, sounds good to me.

Lenny and Noah leave the room as Lenny will send the footage they just recorded to the RCW headquarters.
