Scottish Psycho

[Aries]

My fucking fingers hurt.

 

 

 

 

ABANDON ALL HOPE is scrawled in black and bold lettering on the front of the McCallum residence in Gate City, Georgia. The text is noticeable from miles as away, as OCW personality Matt Black arrives in a yellow taxi.

Black - How much is it?

 

The disgruntled taxi driver turns to Black and snarls.

 

Driver - 'Et is twinty two fitty.

 

Black reaches into pocket and pulls out a black leather wallet. He opens the wallet, and pulls out a twenty dollar bill along with a five. He hands the money over to the driver, and nods his head.

 

Black - Keep the change..

 

The driver takes the money, as Black opens the door adjacent to the road. He steps out of the cab and slams the door shut. He then proceeds to walk towards the trunk.

 

Black - Excuse me! Can you open the trunk please?

 

The drive peaks his head out of the window, and yells.

Driver - Do I 'ave to do evaryting?!

 

The driver pops the trunk open, and Matt Black reaches inside. He pulls out a black dufflebag, and throws the strap onto his shoulder, and shuts the trunk. Black signals to the driver that he's finished, and the driver hastily takes off.

 

Black - Amazing town so far...

 

Black scoffs, as he wipes the sweat from his forehead. He looks over to the McCallum residence, and again reads the message written on the front of the house. Matt looks over to the driveway to see if the 2004 Aston Martin Vanquish S there, but doesn't see it.

 

He proceeds to walk through the front gate, which was already open. The lock had been broken, and looked as if it broken with a hammer. A loud noise can be heard, as Matt gets closer and closer to the residence. He reaches the front door, and the loud noise becomes some what distinguishable.

Black - House music..?

 

Black shakes his head in confusion, and proceeds to knock on the door. No answer. He knocks again, just a little bit louder, but still no answer.

 

Black - I guess he's not home. I guess I'll try again later..

 

Black turns around, and begins to walk away from the door. Before he reaches the gate, the front door opens. Black turns around and notices a woman. A woman who seems to barely be in her twenties. She has little clothing and, and has a brown skin complexion.

 

Woman - ¿Qué coño quieres? ¿Tuvo que golpear tan fuerte?

 

Before saying anything, Matt realizes....he doesn't speak Spanish.

 

Black - Hoe-la! Es sin-or McCallum....ummm...HOMEABLOS?!

 

The latina woman looks over at Black and rolls her eyes.

 

Woman - I do speak English estupido...and yes, he's in.

 

Black - Fantastic! Do you think I could come in?

 

She rolls her eyes yet again, and signals for Black to come inside. He hastily runs up to the front door and peaks his head inside. He watches as the woman walks down a long hallway. She comes to a stop at the third door on the left. She looks over at Black.

Woman - Are you coming or what?! Te lo juro, los gringo son tan condenadamente estúpido..

 

Black - On my way!

 

Black steps in through the front door, and closes the door behind him slowly. He looks down the hallway, and proceeds to slowly walk down towards the door. Taking his time, he notices the pictures on walls. The pictures are of Stephen McCallum (also known as Aries) and his family...or what was his family.

 

Some of the pictures have the faces of the other people scratched out. Black finally reaches the door that the woman is standing next to, and walks inside. What he see's next baffles him. Empty bottles of alcohol, as well as crushed cartons of cigarettes.

 

On the wall in the back of the room is a case. The glass on the case is cracked, and extremely dirty. Inside the case is a showcase of every single title Aries has held through out his wrestling career.

 

Black looks around the room some more to see people. People who are either dancing, or passed out. He walks into the room, and walks over to the gigantic stereo system where the music is playing from. Matt looks for an off switch, but can't seem to find one. He goes around to the back of the system, and unplugs it from the wall.

 

As Black picks his head up, the people who were dancing have stopped. Looking a bit nervous, he reaches for the plug to put it back in the socket, when a loud yell is heard.

 

??? - Wot' the f***?!

 

Black, now scared for his life, turns around and notices the man he came to see barging through the door.

 

Aries - Who turned off the bloody music?!

 

Aries looks over and notices Matt Black, his long time friend from OCW standing there with the plug in his hand.

Aries - Matt?? Wot' the hell man?! Do I waltz into your house and turn off your music?!

 

Black - I don't really listen to music...

 

Aries - My point still stands you wanker!

 

Aries laughs, as Black drops the plug. He stands upright and wipes the sweat from his forehead again.

 

Aries - Well...wot' the f*** do you want?!

 

Black stands there, having a bit of trouble coming up with what to say.

 

Black - I'm umm...here for that...uh...interview you wanted..

 

Aries has to think for a minute before he finally realizes that he did in fact request Matt Black for an interview.

 

Aries - Ahhh yeah! I remember now!

 

Aries walks up to Black, who notices a silver object in Aries right hand...a knife. Matt bites his upper lip, widening his eyes, and thinking to himself "I almost got stabbed for turning off music.."

 

Aries pushes over an old, raggety lazy boy.

 

Aries - Here, have a seat!

 

Black nervously walks over to the chair, and tries to avoid Aries. He slowly sits down.

 

Aries - Alright, now every body else in the room...get the f*** out!

 

Aries walks over to people who are sleeping on the floor, and begins kicking them as hard as he could.

Aries - Get up, and get out!

 

The people who were already awake start moving out, as the people who are just waking up, slowly make it to their feet.

 

As the last person closes the door behind him, Aries walks over to Black and hands him a cup of coffee, but before Black can see what it is, he jumps out of his seat, and spills the coffee all over the floor.

 

Aries - Wot.....WOT' IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

 

Black - I'm so sorry!!! Please don't kill me!!!

 

Aries - Kill you? No, I wouldn't do that....maybe kick your ass, but definitely not kill you. Now, sit back down.

 

Matt Black proceeds to carefully sit back down. He puts the black dufflebag he came in with down on the floor, and pulls out a camcorder.

 

Black - You wanted me to bring this, right?

 

Aries - Aye.

 

Aries walks over to the sofa, and sits down. He lifts the knife up to his face, and begins shaving some of the hair off his beard.

 

Aries - Let me know when you're ready to begin.

 

Black powers on the camcorder, and looks over at Aries. He begins to shake, as he gives Aries the "3, 2, 1" countdown. He waves his hand signaling he's ready.

 

Black - Alright...as you can see, I'm here with the former OCW employee and former OCW Champion, Aries.

 

Aries looks into the camcorder, and lowers the knife.

 

Aries - Yo.

 

Black - Now...you asked me here today Aries...why is that?

 

Aries smirks.

 

Aries - That's an easy one Matt....to convey a message.

 

Black - What kind of message?

 

Aries - Well....not really a message I guess...more of an invitation.

 

Black gets a puzzled look upon his face.

 

Black - What kind of invitation?

 

Aries - An invitation for Seth....you see, I want to invite him to my birthday party! I know he'd be ecstatic! He usually gets me these gloves...you know...MMA gloves. Almost every year too, and every year I say to him...."Oh Seth, you card!".

 

Matt, not knowing if Aries is serious or not, begins to chuckle.

 

Aries - Wot' are you laughing at? Did I say something funny?

 

Black notices the the right hand of Aries tightening the grip around the knife in his hand.

 

Black - NO! No sir! I can see you're quite serious about this!

 

Aries - About wot'? Inviting Seth to my birthday? REALLY? Do you think he'd actually come considering he's gotten his ass whooped by the best in the world?!

 

Black - No, I apologize! I'm very stupid! Forgive me!

 

Aries - You really are stupid...continue.

 

Black - Now.....you say "best in the world"....do you really think you're the best?

 

Aries looks at Black and begins to laugh. The laughter gets louder and louder, until Black finally decides to join in.

Black - What are we laughing at?

 

Aries stops laughing, and looks back at Black.

 

Aries - We're laughing at how stupid that question was! Of course I thi...no. Of course I KNOW I'm the best. Why do you think I say it? Do you think it's just some gimmick, or moniker? Do you think its something I want to get tattoo'd onto my body? Or how about something I'd make a shirt out of? Actually...that last one doesn't sound like too bad of an idea!

 

Black - But...

 

Aries - But WOT?! Do you think there is anyone else better than me?! Do you think there are people within OCW, nay, the wrestling world that is on par with me?!

 

Black - Ye...

 

Aries - The answer is no you simpleton. Aries is, was, and forever will be THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

 

Black - But what about the people that came before you?

 

Aries - Such as?

 

Black - Well....you know...

 

Black, not wanting to upset Aries, tries to avoid the obvious name.

Aries - No, I don't know. Why don't you tell me, so that I may know...

 

Black hesitantly, and as quiet as possible says the name.

 

Black - Nate Ortiz......

 

Aries - Wot'?

 

Black - Nate Ortiz......

 

Aries - ....WOT'?

 

Black - Nate Ortiz......

 

Aries - WOT'?!

 

Black - NATE ORTIZ!!!!

 

Suddenly, the room becomes quiet, as Aries sits there, glancing at Black. Aries smiles, and tightens his grip on the knife yet again. Matt sits there and says to himself "Oh God, he's going to kill me!!!"

Aries - Are you serious?

 

Black shakes his head "no" in a panicking motion.

 

Aries - Oh..but I think you are. I think that you actually think Nate is better than me!

 

Black - Well...

 

Aries - Well?! You even have reasons?! Please, do tell me! How is Nate better than the best in the world?!

 

Black - His past speaks for itself, Aries....

 

Aries - Is that it? His past speaks for himself? Well, let me tell you wot'...so does mine. I'm not a multi-time champion for no reason.

 

Black - No, of course not, it's just...

 

Aries - Just wot'? That Nate is the only name that seemingly happens to come out of everyone's mouth when they think of who the best wrestler is? Give me a f***ing break! Do you want me to refresh your memory? Hell, why not! I've got time.

 

Aries laughs, and looks into the camera again.

 

Aries - I am the very first OCW Pride Champion. I've won the King of OCW...twice. I won the Future Investment briefcase, going on to successfully cash in on a man that NO ONE....and I repeat NO ONE could beat. Not even the man that claims he's the best fighter in the world. I did. You know...let's have a little history lesson here. Let's go back to the year....2009!

 

Aries - This was the year that I was bound to win my first OCW Championship....but instead, I winded up being fifth to a boring neanderthol....an illiterate gorilla...a juiced up nimrod, and the emo wonderkid himself, Leonheart.

 

Aries - During 2009, I won my first King of OCW....all while this "Nate Ortiz" that you speak of..well...where was he? Oh, that's right! He was screwing me out of opportunities BEHIND THE SCENES! All while the boss of the company before he went crazy, f***ed off to some MMA venture....look how that turned out, eh?

 

Aries - I was poised for greatness that year...but instead....a man who can barely pronounce the word Championship, K.D., got a title shot before me. Now, you tell me Matt...was that very nice of Nate and the idiots backstage?

 

Black - Aries...it was just a business decision...I mean...you got your title shot a few months later, didn't you?

 

Aries - Wot' does that matter? I was thrown into the EX Division time, and time again, only to finally be given a chance in the King of OCW tournament, which I won without hesitation. Later that month, I went on to end the undefeated streak of an OCW legend....you might remember me beating Guy Fausto, right?

 

Black - Of course.

 

Aries - After winning that match...I still got absolutely...NOTHING. I win the King of OCW, and end the streak of Guy Lardass, but I still can't get myself into the World Title picture? Why do you think that is?

Black - I'm sure they just wanted you to prove yourself, Aries...

 

Aries - WRONG! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! WRONG!! It's because the man who had taken over behind the scenes at the time...the man you all LOVE seen something in me. I'm talking about Nate of course. He seen that I was a threat...a threat to his status of "being the best"....and I was. Now look at me...once that washed up sack of bones left....I became the BEST. Not Smythe....not Fausto...not Leon...not Trevor, not Mayhem, and certainly not Valmont. Me.

 

Aries - I AM THE BEST IN THIS F***ING BUSINESS!

 

Aries raises the knife towards the camera. He turns it around, and stabs it in the table. He repeatedly does so, while screaming the word "best" over and over. The camera starts to shake a little, as Aries finally stops.

 

He looks up into the camera.

 

Aries - I am the best...and no Nate...or Seth...or the lunatic of a boss we have now is going to tell me otherwise. I watched Riot two weeks ago...where Jaysin tried to hand the OCW World Heavyweight title to a man who hadn't been there for...I don't know how long. He tried to hand the title to a man who is barely in shape to wrestle....instead of me.

 

Aries - I busted my ass for several years. SEVERAL YEARS I HAVE TRIED TO BECOME THE FACE THIS COMPANY NEEDED AFTER PEOPLE LIKE NATE WENT AWAY.....and what happens?! He tries to give the title to Nate....the man who wants nothing to do with being a competitor anymore. You want to give the title to someone...give it to me. GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO DESERVES TO BE CALLED A CHAMPION! Give it to the best in the world.

 

Aries - I mean...LOOK AT ME! I am the best! I look the best...I smell the best, I even taste the best! I wake up in the morning, and I piss the absolute best piss in the world!

 

Black - Aries....

 

Aries - WOT?! You want to tell me how I'm not the best again?!

 

Black - No...I want to ask you why Seth? Why not Nate? Why not Mr. Sensation himself? You seem to have all this pent up animosity towards them.

 

Aries - That's an easy one...it's just business. Seth WAS a good friend of mine. Seth was the only person, aside from Trance and Ryder that I could rely on....unfortunately for him...he's the one that could get me back into OCW. So for Seth...attacking him wasn't personal....it was just business, but since he's taking it so personal....I have an invitation for him.

 

Black - An invitation?

 

Aries - That's right....an invitation. I said at End Games that I went around the world. Going to Japan, and Germany, and all of those great countries....but I also wrestled here. I wrestled on the indy scene, winning titles...making money....and being the best, of course.

 

Aries - Now...concerning my invitation...I went to invite Seth to a little show. A show called...GCW: Ascension. GCW...I know, right? Who would have known! Anyway...I want to invite Seth....and you, Matt. I want to invite you both to this invite. If I can't face Seth in an OCW ring without security getting involved...why not an indy ring?

 

Black - What do you hope to accomplish?

 

Aries - ....I'm going to show Seth...why I'm the best wrestler in the world. Why no one...and I repeat...no one measures up to me. Now...if you'll excuse me Mr. Black....I have some things I need to get ready. Would you show yourself out?

 

Black turns off the camera, and puts it back into his dufflebag.

 

Black - Thanks for the interview Aries...

 

Aries - Next time you want to interview me...make sure you don't mention Nate...ever again, or I will hurt you.

 

Aries stands up, and walks out of the room, as Matt Black stays sitting in the chair. He pulls out his cell phone, and begins dialing a number.

 

After a few rings, someone finally answers.

Black - Hello? Yeah, Seth, this is Matt Black.

 

Seth - What is it?

 

Black - I have an invitation for you....

 

Seth - For what? And from whom?

 

Black - Aries....

The other end of the phone gets quiet, as Black stands up.

 

Black - He wants you to be at a show called GCW: Ascension. He didn't say necessarily where it was....but he wants you to come. Hello? Seth?

 

The phone remains silent, until the call finally drops. Black shakes his head, and closes the phone. He looks over his shoulder, and picks up his dufflebag, walking out of the McCallum residence.
