***The scene opens backstage at the PWA Arena. Derrik Arzon is sulking deep in thought. Nikki Wyld has a hand on his shoulder.***
NIKKI: “Hey, you’ve got nothing to be ashamed of. You took it to that tool Titus. He may have gotten the win, but he basically cheated. He just uh... ya know... psyched you out with that... really intimate looking pin. If he grabbed me like that I’d probably need therapy!”
DERRIK: "Well, that's kinda it, y'know? I have to get in the ring with a psycho in the next round of the tournament, and there's gonna be light tubes and barbed wire and all kinds of other stuff. If I can't get past some schmuck grabbing my gonch in a match, how am I gonna mentally stay in a match with Everlyn Sinn?"
NIKKI: “Ah hell, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I saw you in that tornado match last week! You were a killer! You’re totally in the zone for the King of Deathmatch.”
DERRIK: "Yeah..... I've been trying not to think about that tornado match..... hey, how's Rebel doing? Is he okay?"
NIKKI: “Oh he’s pissed. But not at you. He and my mom want a piece of the Spoiler for bringing that sledgehammer in the ring.”
DERRIK: "I did my best to keep that hammer away from the sadists on my team. At the same time, I didn't want them to turn against me or we'd have both been screwed. I was trying to hit Rebel as lightly as I could..."
NIKKI: “Oh yeah, *totally* saw you try to hand it to Uncle Rebel several times.”
***Derrik looks away and clears his throat.***
NIKKI: “Anyway, don’t give another thought to Reckless Love. They’re chumps who got lucky. If they ever show their faces around here again we’ll kick em to the curb.”
***Just then, Titus and Cynthia Love come strutting by. Titus flexes his oiled pecs as Cynthia bites her lip and taunts at the two young wrestlers.***
CYNTHIA: “Well well well... if it isn’t PWA’s *former* next ‘it’ couple!”
DERRICK: “...what?”
CYNTHIA: “I’m surprised you two have the gall to even show your faces in this arena after the tush-spanking my strong hubby Titus gave your egos last week!”
DERRICK: “...tush-spanking?”
***Nikki and Derrik exchange a glance.***
NIKKI: “Listen you peroxide blonde, your ‘hubby’ might have gotten a fluke win last week, but I didn’t see *you* do anything worth bragging about. You know what? Tonight is PWA Battery. How about you meet me in the ring and I’ll beat some respect into your Brats-doll, Botoxed face?”
CYNTHIA: “Peroxide-blonde? That coming from a *totally* natural ‘silver’ like you? Nikki Wyld, I’d love nothing more than to slap that gawdy retro-punk war paint off of your face tonight... but I’m afraid my schedule is completely stacked. Promotional photo shoots for our new line of Reckless Love PWA Shop merchandise. It’s amazing what a high-profile win will do for you. Not that you’d know anything about that.”
***Nikki frowns and grabs Cynthia Love by the nose and twists. Cynthia squeaks in alarm and grabs her nose with both hands, shaking with pain and fury.***
CYNTHIA: “You gutter skank! You’ve injured my beautiful nose! I have a photo shoot in hours! How dare you!”
***Titus looks at the tear-stained face of his beloved. He shoots an angry look in the direction of Arzon and Wyld.***
TITUS: “Damn you Derrik Arzon! You will pay for this assault on my beautiful wife! If it takes a million years I will make you pay!!”
DERRIK: "I didn't........ but......... she......."
***Titus takes his wife by the shoulders and leads her away as she shrieks bloody murder. As Reckless Love makes their way down the hall, Nikki Wyld calls after them.”
NIKKI: “I’ll see your ass in the ring at Battery princess!!”
***Nikki beams at a confused looking Derrik. Fade to black.***
