The scene opens and Cobra is talking on his phone with a friend of his from back in the day. It’s his old tag team partner Tank. They’ve been discussing Cobra’s recent run in POW and a possible debut for his tag team partner. The conversation got interesting when Cobra talked about how he wanted out of the triple threat match. The cameras focused as the audio picks up.
King Cobra
Man I just started in POW and there have been too much interference in my matches. I’d like the fans to see that I can actually win a match before I start losing them.
Tank
So what did you do?
King Cobra
I just asked to be out of the championship match. Hell it wouldn’t have been fair to the other guys if I had won that belt anyway.
Tank
I know man; you still got the No F’N Rulz title from NEW?
King Cobra
Yea, it’s sitting on my wall. I don’t know how long I’m going to keep it though. Hell I might even bring it with me to a couple of shows to piss Sean Cole off.
Tank
Then you’re going to get your ass in some deep shit.
King Cobra
It wouldn’t be the first time.
They started laughing and Cobra took a sip of his coke that was sitting on the table next to him. He turned the TV on and a recap from last weeks show played.
King Cobra
I tell you what though, I do hate losing. It’s not me and the people know that.
Tank
Speaking of losing, I hear there is some tension between Final Cut and Murderous Intent.
King Cobra
Ha, I knew that wouldn’t last long. Night and Daye can’t team up with anybody without something bad happening. Remember what happened with them and Lacklan?
Tank
Oh yea, what were they called back then? Salvation’s End.
King Cobra
Yea some stupid shit like that. Oh well I’ve got nothing to do with it. All I know is I’m out of the title picture and in a battle royal. You know I never really liked battle royals.
Tank
Who does? So who’s all going to be in there with you?
Cobra stopped for a minute to think. He looked out the window and saw his basketball lying on the front step. He came up with an idea and looked away from the window.
King Cobra
I tell you what. Meet me at the courts in ten minutes and we’ll go over a bunch of shit.
Tank
Sounds cool; I’ll be there in a few.
They hung up their phones. Cobra walked in his room and a few minutes later, he came out with sneakers and athletic shorts on. He walked outside and picked up his ball, then stepped in his car. He drove to the basketball courts a few blocks down from the restaurant he always went to. The courts weren’t too crowded because it was still early morning. Tank showed up shortly after.
King Cobra
What’s up bro?
Tank
Nothing much man. So tell me now, who are these opponents of yours?
Cobra dribbled the ball for a second and shot from a distance. The ball hit the rim then bounced in. He walked over and picked the ball up. He brushed his hand over it and passed it to Tank. Then he began talking.
King Cobra
Well the first guy is Joey Harris.
Tank
Sounds like an interesting fellow. How has he been doing in POW?
King Cobra
Well I don’t know much about him. As a matter of fact the only thing I know about him is he’s won one match. And that was against the Hannibal and Jack Hammer, two other opponents in the battle royal. Honestly though I don’t really care about him.
Tank dribbled around Cobra and went for a dunk. The ball bounced off the court and Cobra scooped it up and shot for two. It swished this time and landed in Tank’s hands that were waiting under the basket.
Tank
Well it’ll sound like Joey knows two of those competitors fairly well. Hey man how about a game of horse?
King Cobra
Why not, but hey man if I win you’ve got to come back to the ring. I need a tag team partner I can rely on if I want tag gold in my career.
Tank
Oh yea, well what happened with last week?
Cobra stood at the side of the basket and shot the ball, it hit the backboard and into the basket. Tank took the ball and went to where Cobra was standing and swished it in. After that, he grabbed the ball and did a lay up.
King Cobra
Not bad my friend.
Tank
Thanks. I’ve been practicing.
Cobra took the ball back and did the same shot and made it in. He smirked at Tank and threw the ball over his head and bounced in off the rim. He cleared his throat after rubbing in the last shot.
King Cobra
Lestat couldn’t hold his own in that tag team match. I mean I give the guy credit for being in the ring, but I can’t have a partner who isn’t good enough to team up with.
Tank
I know man. If it weren’t for the injury I sustained on the road, I’d be fighting right next to you. Oh and how about we stop playing for a little bit. You know I won’t be able to make that shot asshole.
Cobra laughed and took the ball back. He rolled it toward the gate and him and Tank walked over to the soda machines and popped out a soda each. After taking a few drinks, they walked to the center of the court.
King Cobra
But this battle royal is going to be a tough one. I will admit that though. And you know, I do believe Jack Hammer was in GCW with me.
Tank
Yea I know, he also lost a tag team match to Night and Daye remember?
King Cobra
Yes I do. That was pretty horrible. Losing to Night and Daye isn’t always a good thing.
Tank
Eh, so who are Damien Blackmoon and Flap Flanagan?
King Cobra
Man I don’t know. Flap’s only won one match and I think this is Blackmoon’s debut match.
Tank
It’s going to suck for him.
King Cobra
Yea I know. Well it won’t be easy for me though. Hey man let’s get out of here.
Tank
Alright, I’ve got shit to do anyway. So I’ll talk to you later.
King Cobra
I’ll see you around.
Cobra and Tank left the courts after Cobra grabbed the ball from the ground. He sat in his car for a minute then decided to call Cat. She answered the phone and started talking.
Cat
How are you doing baby?
King Cobra
I’m doing pretty good hun. I just got done shooting hoops with Tank. You know I was thinking about my brother as well.
Cat
You’re not letting him get to you with those words the other night are you?
King Cobra
I don’t know. I mean it looks like Murderous Entertainment is having problems as is. They couldn’t even hold their own in that match. So I don’t really think I need to try and stop them because they’re just screwing themselves over.
Cat
I know those two never really did well with other people anyway. I don’t know why they didn’t stick with you. I mean you three were unstoppable.
King Cobra
Well that’s what the thirst of gold does for you baby. It turns you into two ass clowns like Night and Daye.
Cobra started his car up and pulled out. He continued talking with Cat while passing a few streets before hitting a red light.
Cat
Well I heard about your battle royal coming up. I know you’ll come out on top like you always do.
King Cobra
I don’t know. I’m not going to underestimate any of those guys or even myself for that matter. I’m going to go out there and give it my all.
Cat
Hey can I ask you a question?
King Cobra
Sure hun.
Cat
When Daye said he took over GCW with Night and put you guys out of business. Was he true about that? Did you let them take over the business you were dominating?
Cobra took off at the green and starting chuckling at the questions. He rubbed his head real quick and shook it back and forth. Then he answered her questions.
King Cobra
Baby, Daye is full of more shit than Bo can eat. Night and Daye didn’t take over GCW. They just couldn’t pick up any victories in NEW and found out I was on a hot streak in GCW. So they fallowed me over there and won like three or four matches.
Cat
So what happened then?
King Cobra
Well George Duke and Canadian Power Trip took over GCW. They’re the ones who ran the business to the ground.
Cat
So it wasn’t Night and Daye?
King Cobra
No baby, they claim it was them because they really haven’t accomplished anything in there careers but a few name changes in their stables. I think they were tag team champions for a week or so. The reign was so short it’s hard to remember.
Cat
Oh okay, I understand. I just always wondered that.
King Cobra
Yea well hey baby, I’m pulling into the house right now. So let me get in and take a shower. Then I’ll call you later to see if you want to hang out or something. I’ve got a bit of free time right now.
Cat
Hold on a second. You mentioned George Duke, I don’t know if you’ve seen the POW web store but there is a DVD of George Duke and listed are two matches with you from GCW with one including the Scaffold Match.
King Cobra
Oh really, I have to check those out. Duke and I had some incredible battles.
Cat
You do know he’s in POW right baby? How come you guys don’t continue what you had in the past?
King Cobra
Oh I don’t know. It’s been so long ago and we sort of just moved on with our careers. Honestly I didn’t thin I’d see him in the ring again and low and behold he’s in POW with me. I’ll think about it baby.
Cat
Alright well I’ll let you get in the shower and everything. I love you!
King Cobra
Love you too hun. I’ll talk to you later.
They hung up with each other. Cobra got out of his car and walked inside of the house. He went into his room and stopped in the middle. He glanced around at all the GCW magazines on the shelves with Cobra on he cover of them with George Duke standing next to him. Underneath were subtitles about the feuds and battles they’ve had. He picked up one of the magazines and flipped through it to find the scaffold match they had in 2006. Cobra put the magazine back down after a minute and looked behind him where he hung the Inner City Championship. He took it off the wall and stared at it for a minute before draping it over his shoulder. He looked at the cameras.
King Cobra
Well George Duke, this is what it was all about back then. You and I never saw eye to eye and always battled for this title. Why don’t you say you and I go at it again sometime soon? Think about it, King Cobra vs. George Duke…Match from the Past. But for now, I’ve got a battle royal I need to take care of.
Cobra turned around and stepped in the bathroom. The cameras fade as you hear the water running to the POW logo and then to black.
King Cobra
Man I just started in POW and there have been too much interference in my matches. I’d like the fans to see that I can actually win a match before I start losing them.
Tank
So what did you do?
King Cobra
I just asked to be out of the championship match. Hell it wouldn’t have been fair to the other guys if I had won that belt anyway.
