Good to be Back...

[Bray]

The following segment was recorded with a black woman’s IPhone and posted on her personal Twitter right after the Bray vs. Basil match.

It takes a second for the camera to focus but eventually it focuses on Bray packing up his gear into his case, ready to hit the road for the next show.

 

Ace: [in a macho-like voice] Now, ladies and gentlemen, presenting the comeback king, the homecoming hero, the bonafida suicida-

 

Bray: I can think of worse names.

 

Ace: AAAAAHH! You back, baby! WE back in this bitch! Woo!

 

Bray: Yea, we back. It’s a start, but hey, we back.

 

Like a child, Ace zooms the camera in on his face, much to his amusement.

 

Bray: And since I’m back, don’t you think you should get back to training after we leave?

 

Ace: I don’t know, should I?

 

Bray: Wasn’t your obsession with Sophia and the Women’s title incredibly strong a few months ago?

 

Ace: Yea, well that was before she beat me and I sorta vanished alongside you.

 

Bray: You almost had it, you know. You should try for it again. I know you miss it.

 

Ace: [smacking her lips] You right. I do. Maybe I can whip Kassie’s ass again.

 

Bray's eyes widen, fearful of the idea.

 

Bray: Whatever floats your boat. Just, this time, don’t try and do your own thing again. You’re not very good at it.

 

Ace: [gasping] Hurtful!

 

Bray: Truthful!

 

Ace: ...Heh, I kinda missed your sense of humor. Didn’t really see much of that this year. What with your… “phases”.

 

Bray: They were experiments! ….I wouldn’t say they failed but-

 

Ace: They failed.

 

Bray: Brutally.

 

Bray zips up his case and begins to roll it towards the exit.

 

Bray: I think with this “reset” we’re doing, I think I’m gonna try and bulk up a bit. It’s not fun being seen as just another light heavyweight. Plus, all that jumping around and shit is bad for my knee.

 

Ace: So why the hell did you do it?

 

Bray: [shrugging his shoulders] Reasons. Why the hell do you do it?

 

Ace: To… be like everyone else.

 

Bray: [in a Yoda voice] And that… is why you fail, young Padawan. Go after the title again. Do you. Don’t know what the other assclowns tell you. And for the love of Jesus, cut a promo with Sophia. You got lurched last time and I don’t want a lurch for a sister!

 

Ace: And I don’t want a clown ass nigga for a brother!

 

Bray: Touche, mi hermana.

 

She turns the camera around, showing the two of them leaving.

 

Ace: It’s good to have you back, Ali.

 

Bray stops rolling his briefcase and extends his arm around his sister’s shoulder. He gives her a peck on her head and smiles.

 

Bray: Good to be back.
