Acadian Wrestling

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show a middle aged man wearing a red and black track suit driving down an unknown highway, he is eating a packet of chips, and has a figure of Elvis dangling from his rear view mirror. The man takes a right, and then switches the station on the radio, shoving a handful of chips into his gob.]

Kyle Callaghan : YO, YO, YO! This is DJ Kyle Callaghan, and your tuned into Wrestle Radio, 316 on your FM dial. Today, we are joined in the studio by none other then The Centre of Attention, The Big Bad Bustling Bandit, Soutter! How are you going big guy?

Soutter : Doing well thanks Kyle.

Kyle Callaghan : Thats great, well, you know i don't like to beat around the bush, we have heard a rumour that your getting back in the ring?

Soutter : Then that rumour would be 100% correct my friend. The Big Bad Bustling Bandit has been out of the ring for far to long, time to get back to basics Kyle.

Kyle Callaghan : Thats got to be the best news i have heard all year. So, where you making your big return?

Soutter : Two words, Acadian Wrestling!

Kyle Callaghan : Acada what? I have never heard of em.

Soutter : Acadian Kyle, although you not hearing of them doesn't surprise me. They are only a small time promotion, small town indie fed wrestling.

Kyle Callaghan : What? What in the hell do you want to join some half broke indie hick promotion for? Your the Centre of Attention! You can join any fed in the world!

Soutter : To right i can Kyle, but I've been there and done that, too much BS politicking and back stage bitching in that for me, i am jack of it. All i want is to go out there each week, and compete in the ring, no fuss, no bright lights, no crazy wrestlers crying over what is going on, just some good plain old competition.

Kyle Callaghan : Sounds pretty boring to me.

Soutter : Well, thats where you would be mistaken, i see it as a huge challenge, a fresh start if you will, a clean slate, with no expectations.

Kyle Callaghan : Well, i guess if thats what you want. Mind if we take some calls after this break?

Soutter : No Problem.



Kyle Callaghan : And we're back with our first caller, go ahead, your on the air.

Caller 1 : Thanks, long time listener, first time caller here. Just wanted to tell Soutter i think what he is doing joining Acadian is awesome, real old school, keep it up big guy, and good luck over there!

Soutter : Well thanks, it means a lot.

Kyle Callaghan : Wow, we got a full board here Soutter, looks like you have grabbed the attention of our listeners.

Soutter : They don't call me the Centre of Attention for nothing!

Kyle Callaghan : Hello, your on the air, you have a question for Soutter?

Caller 2 : Soutter, you fat tub of lard, just who do you think you are, talking like you can walk into Acadian Wrestling like you are some god or something, i have always hated your guts, and i hope to god you get the hell beaten out of you over there in Acadian!

Kyle Callaghan : Now come one now, lets not .....

Soutter : Kyle, let me handle this one thanks. Let me tell you one thing turkey, i don't think i am a god, and have never said as much, but your entitled to your opinion. Kyle, i think we should give this guy a prize, just leave your name and address pal and i'll be more then happy to hand deliver it to you.

Caller 2 : Erm, no way, i wouldn't have you anywhere near my house, probably would eat me out of house and home!

[Click!]

Kyle Callaghan : Well, some people, we here at Wrestle Radio apologize for that Soutter.

Soutter : Don't sweat it, I've been called worse then that, and if Acadian lives up to any of my expectations, will be called a lot worse.

Kyle Callaghan : Damn, look at the time, and we still got a full board of calls, we'll have to make this the last one, go ahead, your on the air.

Caller 3 : (a female caller) Thanks, I just wanted to let you guys know that i am a big supporter of Acadian Wrestling, they have been doing some great things, and have a really good roster down there, you better not under estimate them guys Soutter, take them lightly, and they will take you, rest assured of that!

Soutter : You can rest assured that i have never taken anyone lightly, and am not about to here, but know this toots, I am not to be taken lightly either, i may be new to Acadian, but they are in for one hell of a surprise with me joining them, i am THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION, THE BIG BAD BUSTLING BANDIT, AND THE NUMBER ONE MAN IN THIS INDUSTRY! AND I LIKE IT LIKE THAT!!!

Kyle Callaghan : There you have it folks, Acadian Wrestling, look out! Thanks for joining us Soutter, and good luck.

[Scene fades with the driver taking a left and ramming another handful of chips into his gullet.]

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show the Dartmouth Sportsplex in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Its about an hour before Burnout is scheduled to begin, and the fans are starting to make there way in. The shot moves inside the complex to show the Centre of Attention, Soutter, making his way through the crowd, he has a big tray with four beers on it and five hot dogs, there is also two buckets of chips on there. Soutter (all 400 plus pounds of him) makes his way into the front row, and pulls up a seat next to some kid who is sitting next to his father, he sits down, and rams half a hot dog into his mouth.]

Kid : Wow! Look dad, its Soutter! The Big Bad Bustling Bandit is sitting right next to me!

[The kid and his father both smile at Soutter, who nods to them, still chewing his hot dog.]

Kid : See dad, i told you! I told you Soutter had joined Acadian Wrestling!

Father : That you did son.

Kid : Hey Soutter. How come your sitting out here in the crowd with us? I thought you would be out the back getting ready for your match.

[Soutter, who was washing down the hot dog with a skull of beer almost chokes, and spills a bit of beer down the front of his shirt.]

Soutter : My what?

Kid : Your match!

Soutter : Sorry kid, i don't have a match tonight, i have just joined up with Acadian Wrestling, and am only down here to scout out some of there talent, and to have me a few beers.

[Soutter skulls down the rest of the beer.]

Kid : Well, how come it says right here that you have a match?

Soutter : Says what where? Give me a look at that.

[The kid passes his program to Soutter, pointing out to him that he is booked to vs Dirk Disaster, Soutter looks at it a bit surprised, dripping some sauce of his next hot dog onto it. The kid looks down at the smudges a bit upset, and Soutter shrugs his shoulders to him in apology.]

Soutter : Well i'll be!

[Soutter rams almost a full hot dog into his cake hole, sits there chewing for a moment with both the kid and his father waiting on in anticipation to see what he is going to do.]

Soutter : Well, this is just great. They book me for a match, and no one around here even tells you anything! Dirk Disaster is it, tell me kid, you know anything about this turkey they have lined up for me as my first victim?

Kid : Well, he is a huge star around here. He is a former two time Atlantic Champion, the first one actually, and is making his big return here against you. He's only small, 5'11 & 218 pounds.

Soutter : Two time champion hey?

Kid : Yep. He's managed by his step father, James Mitchell.

Soutter : Father James Mitchell? Or do they call him Step Father James Mitchell over here?

Kid : Ummm, I'm not sure actually.

[Soutter slams another beer down.]

Soutter : So, let me think a minute here. Debuting new guy, that being me. Returning two time Atlantic champ, looks like i got my work cut out for me here.

Kid : Any opponent of Dirk's has there work cut out, the word is he and his Step father have been doing some vigourous training.

Soutter : Sounds to me like this Turkey Disaster is a big name around here, and putting two and two together, i guess me being the new guy and all, they would try and give him an easy matchup, on his big return and all. Now i don't know how long he has been gone, and don't really care, the way i figure it, he was the champ, and then he lost, so then he left. Now that may not be the case, he may of hung around for a few weeks after losing his title, but that would just be an educated guess.

Kid : He has some family issues with his step father. The guy betrayed him, but now they are working through that.

Soutter : Well, hear me, and hear me now kiddie, this turkey Dirk Disaster may be known for being a two time Atlantic champ, and the first one at that, but that don't mean squat, want to know what being the first ever champ means, it means that there was no one else around to give the gold to, thats all that means.

[Soutter rips off another bite of his hot dog, chewing it now with his mouth open.]

Soutter : Now he will have something to be known by. Now when people talk about Dirk Disaster, they wont be talking about how he has been a two time champ, they want be talking about how he is from that disfunctional family of his, ohh no. After tonight, when you say the name Dirk Disaster, people will actually know who you are talking about, because he will from this day on be known as the guy Soutter beat in his first match in Acadian Wrestling, and i like it like that!

[Soutter passes his tray, with whats left of the hot dogs and beer to the kids father.]

Soutter : Here ya go pal, looks like i'm not going to be able to enjoy all of these like i planned.

[Soutter takes off to the back to find out about his debut match.]

[Soutter]

*where we left off

[The scene opens up to show Soutter walking through to the back of the Dartmouth Sportsplex. He looks to be getting frustrated, all he can see is these new faces, and he doesn't know who is who. He see's two guys sitting on a table chatting about something and approaches them.]

Soutter : Hey! Either of you Dirk Disaster?

Guy 1 : Nope, are you supposed to be back here man?

Soutter : Of course i am supposed to be back here, look at the size of me boy! You think i am meant to be back here?

Guy 2 : (giggling) Either here or the all you can eat buffet down the road!

Soutter : They have one of those?

Guy 2 : Sure do, just a couple of miles down the road.

Soutter (rubbing his chin) : Well, thats interesting. So, what do you guys do around here? This is my first night on the job, and i don't really know anyone.

Guy 1 : Well, we don't really do much to tell you the truth, just started training, waiting for our big break.

Soutter : Really? Well, you just got it.

[Soutter throws the guy a set of keys.]

Soutter : These are the keys to my motel, scoot down there and grab my gear for me will ya rook.

Guy 1 : Your gear?

Soutter : Yes, my gear. Its easy to find, i haven't even unpacked yet, just go down the motel and grab it for me, you'll see, there's a suit case, and a duffel bag next to it, grab the duffel bag, and then get back here.

Guy 1 : Why didn't you bring your gear with you in the first place, and don't take this the wrong way, but who are you?

Soutter (moving the guy of the table) : Who am i? Dang, sorry i didn't introduce myself. The names Soutter, i'm used of everyone knowing who i am you see, i didn't know i was on the show tonight, lucky for me i decided to come on down and scout out the talent here.

Guy 1 : But ...

Soutter : No time for buts .... (in his Lt. Thaddeus Harris from Police Academy impression) MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!!!

[Guy 1 takes off and Soutter goes to sit down on the table where he was next to guy 2, but the table creaks a bit, so Soutter thinks better of it and leans against the wall trying to look cool.]

Soutter : So rook, how long you been in training?

Guy 2 : About 2 months now.

Soutter : Nice, so you know a bit about what goes on around here then?

Guy 2: Sure do, i practically live here now.

Soutter : Great, give me the run down on this Dirk Disaster.

Guy 2 : Well, don't tell anyone i told you this, but that guy is a real doofus, always following his step father around. He is a two time Atlantic Champ, but if you ask me, that was only cause there was no one else around to be champ.

Soutter : Figured as much.

Guy 2 : He is a nice guy, always been nice to me anyway, but man, he is just a bit slow, if ya know what i mean.

Soutter : Dumb as a box of rocks?

Guy 2 : Bingo.

Soutter : Well, don't worry about that turkey, he has crossed the line, and i will finish him tonight.

Guy 2 : Crossed the line? I thought you didn't even know him.

Soutter : I don't, but i had myself a good feed out there. Dogs, Chips, beers, everything that makes life worthwhile, i hate to waste food, and this match with Dirk Disaster just made me waste a hell of a lot of food, thus, he has crossed the line!

[Guy 2 looks at Soutter a bit perplexed.]

Guy 2 : O...k. Well, i got to jet, got some, ummm, stuff to do, good luck in the Tournament.

Soutter : Huh? Tournament? What Tournament?

Guy 2 : The Tournament, your match with Dirk is just a first round match up, the winner will meet the winner of Jake Knight and Midnight's match, and then the winner of that will meet another two men in the final.

Soutter : Jake Night and Midnight? Who the hell are they?

Guy 2 : Midnight is some hack who cant win a match, i heard a rumour he had even quit the fed, who knows though.

Soutter : Well, that would be a shame, every fed can use a few good losers to make the stars like myself look as good as we do, and Jake?

Guy 2 : Well, he is a former AW tag team champ. Him and the Fallen Angel.

Soutter : Christopher Daniels wrestlers here in AW?

Guy 2 : No, i think its another Fallen Angel.

Soutter : Ohhh.

Guy 2 : Yeah, he ain't much, you can take him, he's got this lackey who hangs around him called Doug he likes to bully around, and he was fired by his brother in law Adrian Williams, but now he is back, back with a vengeance i believe he said.

Soutter : Back with a vengeance hey? (Soutter chuckles) Well, sounds like this whole tourney thing could be interesting. Just think, what better way to make an impact, then to take out the whole thing on my debut show!

Guy 2 : Well, that sure would get people talking, good luck.

[Scene fades with the rookie taking off.]

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up in the back of the Dartmouth Sportsplex in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. We see Soutter sitting down on the floor, leaning up against the wall in the coridoor, he looks to be very focused, and not noticing all the goings on around him, that is until he smells the sweet aroma of someone walking through with a pizza. Soutter looks up instantly, and is surprised to see it is the young rookie he was talking to earlier, the one he sent to go get his gear.]

Soutter : Hey man. You really have out done yourself, not only back with my gear, but also a pizza on top, man, great work.

Rookie : No problem Soutter, here's your gear, (the rookie places Soutter's bag down on the floor beside him), but i'm sorry, the pizza isn't for you. I had to pick this up for the boss.

Soutter : (reaching in and grabbing a slice anyway) Thats cool, i'm sure he wont mind me having a piece, thanks again pal.

[Soutter pats the rookie on the back, grabs his bag, and walks off down the corridor scoffing down his slice of pizza. Soutter goes into the mens, and then comes out in his wrestling gear, with a cd in his hand. He walks around a couple more corners, coming to a guy sitting beside a sound system, "I wont see you tonight (part 1) by Avenged Sevenfold is playing through the arena.]

Soutter : Hey! Turn that crap off, its likely to give someone nightmares!

Technician : Who the hell are you?

Soutter : Names Soutter! (Soutter offers his hand). Now, get that crap off and whack this in, i'm going out to address these fans.

Technician : But the show isn't due to start for another 25 minutes.

Soutter : Yeah, i know, i'm giving them a bit of a pre show speech.

Technician : Is this cleared with the boss?

Soutter : Of course it is. Now, whack this on, and watch and learn.

[The technician puts the cd on and Rip it Up by 28 Days hits. Soutter bounces out to the ring to the beat of the music, the 40 or so fans already in attendance looking on with interest, some glancing at there watches. Soutter uses his 400 plus pounds to push the top rope down, and steps over it, swaggering around the ring, taking a look around.]

Soutter : So! This is Acadian Wrestling!

[Soutter pauses.]

Your probably all sitting out there right now wondering who the fat guy in the ring is, right?

[Crowd murmur agreeably.]

Well, thats why i'm out here right now, to introduce myself to you great fans. My name is Soutter, Suit for short if you like. I just joined up with Acadian wresting, and lucky for all you guys out there, i will be making my debut with this company tonight.

[Crowd pretty quite, they don't seem to interested actually.]

Now, I have been wrestling for a hell of a long time, so, even though i may be new to all you fans, i can assure you, i am not new to this business, as you will all see later tonight. Now, generally when i join a new federation, which is the nature of us wrestlers, we move around a bit from place to place, well, generally when i first join a new fed, i like to take it slowly, build my way to the top, take my time, but... things are different here.

See, this may be my first night in Acadian, but there is a little difference. You see, tonight we are having us a tournament, with the winner being the number ONE contender to the Atlantic title of one Samoa Joe Rapper.

Now, thats where everything changes. See, most people, when put in that position would think, well, its my first night, ill be happy to get by the first round and make a good showing, well, not this guy.

I pride myself on giving it my all each and every single time i step in this ring. As you will all see tonight. I didn't move all the way over here from Melbourne Australia to just get by the first round of a tourney and make a good showing. No, i demand more of myself then that, as you will all see tonight.

[Soutter pauses again, walking around the ring, most of the people now listening to what he has to say.]

See folks, tonight, you will all bear witness to something you have never seen before. Tonight, is going to be remembered for years to come, remembered as not only the night that The Centre of Attention debuted in Acadian Wrestling, but remembered as the night that he went through 11 other turkey's to become the number ONE contender, all on his very first night in the company! I am going to put on a display for all of you the likes that can only be dreamed of by them turkey's in the back.

I'm not no heiress to some big multi million dollar company like that Paris Hilton wannabe Adrian Williams the turd, or fourth, whatever it is. I'm not no ...

[Soutter spreads his arms in the crucifix Raven pose.]

.... Raven wannabe like that other blow hard.

and i'm sure as hell not no Samoan wannabe Rapper like our champ Joe.

No! What i am is a wrestler! I don't need a gimmick, because being a wrestler is my gimmick, its not what i do, its what i am!

Your looking right now at the number ONE man in this industry, the Centre of Attention and the Big Bad Bustling Bandit! I'm here for one reason, and one reason only, and thats to be the best, remember this night guys, cause your about to witness the stuff legends are made of, and i like it like that!

[Rip it Up by 28 Days hits again, and Soutter does a Soutteruni in the middle of the ring, before swaggering back to the back, slapping a few hands on his way as the scene fades.]

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show the inside of a gym. Where this gym is, is unknown, all we see is the gym. There is a group of muscle heads looking at there muscles in the mirror, a group of nice looking girls doing aerobics and a group of guys on the exercise bikes behind them watching them. The shot them moves to the canteen of the Gym, and we see Soutter sitting there with a empty plate and satisfied smile on his face.]

Soutter : Now thats what i call a work out.

[Soutter rubs his tummy, then belches and makes his way out of the gym, the two girls behind the counter of the canteen watch him leave.]

Girl 1 : Did he just say thats what he calls a work out?

Girl 2 : I think so.

Girl 1 : Fat slob didn't even work out, just walked into the canteen, ate half our food and took off.

[The scene goes back to Soutter, who is now walking through the car park, he is walking towards his Cadillac, when he notices one of the rookies he was talking to last week walking through the car park towards the gym. The one who went and got his stuff for him.]

Soutter : HEY ROOKIE!

[The rookie turns around and sees Soutter coming towards him and has a look come across his face like, ohh no, not him again, then smiles to him.]

Soutter : Whats up pal!

[Soutter whacks the rookie on the back, pretty hard making him stumble forward, but in a friendly way.]

Rookie : What you doing here big guy?

Soutter : Just finished a work out man.

[The rookie looks Soutter up and down.]

Rookie : I didn't know you worked out.

Soutter : I don't generally, but seeing as though thats all Dirk Disaster did last week, and he was able to beat me and go one and win the whole tourney, i figured i may as well give it a try.

Rookie : Ohhh come on now, we both know thats not all he did.

Soutter : Yeah, your right, i'll be sure to phone my stepfather later and tell him how much i love him, but for now, i got to jet, catch ya later pal.

[Soutter turns his back on the rookie and jumps in his Cadillac.]

Soutter : (talking to himself while he takes off in the Cady.) That turkey's got a smart mouth for a rookie, I think i'd better have a chat with the boss, i don't think i like him working out at the same gym as myself.

[The scene switches to show Soutter in his motel room, looking through his fridge.]

I swear, i thought i had that turkey Dirk Disaster covered, i cant believe it, but thems the breaks. I guess i got to take it up another gear around here. A lot of guys might take solace in the fact that the guy that defeated them went on to win the tourney, but not me, not the Big Bustling Bandit.

I got to show these guys around here what i am really capable of.

[Soutter closes the fridge and grabs a piece of cake from the bench, and quickly devours it while looking over a piece of paper, which is shown to be next weeks card.]

So, looks like Dirk gets his shot at Joe Rapper, and i get lumped in a 6 man with "The Boys" against The Brotherhood (MidKnight, Tomas and Rotteweiler).

The Brotherhood, what a joke these guys are, just over a week ago, they were crying like little girls that they weren't getting anywhere, and how they were leaving the fed. Now all of a sudden they have had a change of heart? We'll just have to see about that, i guess they think they have turned it all around, with that threat to quit and all, and now they are on a roll, ONE IN A ROW!

Well, i'm about to turn the heat up around this place, and god help anyone who stands in my way! Beating these guys will be a piece of cake, and i like it like that!

[Scene fades with Soutter dropping the paper and grabbing another piece of cake.]

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show The Centre of Attention, Soutter, walking out of a video shop in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Soutter is wearing blue denim pants and a hooded top.]

Soutter (to the girl in the video shop) : Thanks for helping me out with that, that movie is a classic.

Girl : No problem sir, have a nice day.

Soutter : You too, and have a nice Shrove day tomorrow as well.

[Soutter walks out of the shot and she gives him a weird look as he is leaving.]

Soutter (walking down the street) : Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off.

[Soutter starts doing the motions with his arms.]

Soutter : Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax ....

[Soutter notices the AW rookie he has been chatting with approaching him and quickly stops the Karate Kid impressions.]

Rookie : Hey Suit, how you going?

Soutter : Not bad, are you following me or something?

Rookie : No sir, i just follow Acadian Wrestling around, so seeing you work with them now, and i go everywhere they go, i guess we will run into each other a bit from time to time.

Soutter : You follow us everywhere?

Rookie : Sure do sir. Acadian wrestling is my life, and one day i hope to be actually working for them just like you are.

Soutter : (dismissively) Well, good luck with that.

[Soutter goes to walk off then stops, a thought coming to him.]

Soutter : Hey, wait a sec rook. You say you go where ever Acadian goes?

Rookie : You better believe it.

Soutter : Well, maybe we can help each other. You want to be a wrestler, maybe i can make that happen, and you seem to know everything that goes on around here, so ....

Rookie : I don't think i follow you sir.

Soutter : Information. I need information rook. I don't know any of these guys i am competing with here, but you do, don't ya!

[Soutter pokes the rookie in the chest pushing him up against the wall.]

Rookie : Well, yeah, but i don't like to gossip.

Soutter : It wouldn't be gossiping, thats for women, it would be sharing information, it would be training for your career as a wrestler, think of it as research, learning the ropes.

Rookie : I'm not sure.

Soutter : Look.

[Poking the rookie in the chest again.]

Soutter : You want to be a wrestler don't you?

Rookie : Hell yeah.

Soutter : And wrestlers need to do there homework, don't they? Researching there opponent, watching there tapes, planning out there matches and trying to find there opponents weak spots, exposing them weaknesses.

Rookie : Well, yeah, i guess you are right.

[Soutter pokes the rookie in the chest again.]

Soutter : Your damn straight i'm right! So, how about it?

Rookie : Ok, you got a deal.

Soutter : Thats the way pal.

[Soutter slaps the rookie on the back, sending him off balance, but the rookie regains his composure without falling over.]

Soutter : Hey, nice reflexes kid. Keep working on that.

Rookie (rubbing his back) : So, where do we start?

Soutter : We'll meet at my motel tomorrow at Midday. Not Midknight, he is my opponent, and i wouldn't want to confuse you, Midday, Noon.

Rookie : Gotcha.

Soutter : And bring all of his tapes you can get your hands on.

Rookie : Not a problem.

Soutter : Thats the spirit, now, what about him as a person, what do you actually know about this Midnight character, and these other turkey's he is teamed with.

Rookie : They are his family. One is his brother, the other his cousin. They aren't much chop to tell you the truth, all of them have been on a losing streak. Midnight i think used to work for some sort of agency or something, i don't know exactly, but he may of killed someone and then given it away to become a wrestler.

Soutter : Idiot! You don't become a wrestler to get away from killing people, you become a wrestle "to" kill people!

Rookie : Just telling you what i know.

Soutter : Yeah, i know. What else is there?

Rookie : Well, i'm not sure, no one has seen him all week, he has gone missing, like vanished.

Soutter : Missing hey. He wouldn't the first opponent of the Big Bad Bustling Bandit to go missing, thats for sure.

Rookie : I don't know if its anything like that, i heard that he has gone to some underground training.

Soutter : How would you know about that?

Rookie : Its just the word around the locker room, for all we know, it may not be true, but thats what they are saying. That Midnight is undergoing some top secret training for your match.

[Soutter scoffs.]

Soutter : Your kidding aren't you, training? Like Dainel son?

[Soutter looks over the road and we see a karate dojo.]

Soutter : Come with me, lets have a look.

[Scene switches to show Soutter and the rookie inside the karate dojo talking with the Sensie.]

Soutter : How you going chief?

Sensie : Chief?

Soutter : Listen, sorry to trouble you, (Soutter looks around at the empty dojo) I can see your a busy man, i just had a couple of questions for you.

Sensie : Go right ahead.

Soutter : Ok, picture this for a hypothetical situation, if you will. Say that i am a fighter, a wrestler for example.

Sensie : That would not be difficult my friend, you indeed look like you could be a wrestler and my years of experience tell me by the way you move and carry yourself that you are indeed a mighty fighter.

Soutter : Yes, yes. Now forget that part, and picture me as not such a mighty warrior, someone who is a coward and cant fight, who has no heart or drive, or killer instinct. Someone who loses constantly, almost every fight they have, they lose.

Sensie : We are obviously not talking about you any more?

Soutter : No sir, we are not, like i said, lets just say its a hypothetical situation.

Sensie : Ok. I am with you.

Soutter : Excellent, now, say this wretch of a man we are talking about, who has never accomplished a thing in his life, decided to come to someone like yourself for some special training, do you think you could turn them around?

Sensie : That i can not answer, not without actually meeting and talking with the person.

Soutter : Fair enough. Lets say then that you can help him, that all is not lost for him, and there is some minute hope there. How long do you think it would take to turn him around?

Sensie : That too is hard to say, could be 2, 3, 5,6 maybe 10 years.

Soutter : That long hey?

[Soutter smiles at the rookie about to make his point.]

Soutter : What if he needed to learn quicker then that? Like if he had a big match coming up in a week with someone far more superior and talented then himself, and he needed a crash course to get him through the match.

Sensie : A week? Impossible!

Soutter : Thought so, thanks for the talk, and have a happy Shrove Tuesday sir.

[Soutter walks out.]

Sensie : (to the rookie) Shrove Tuesday?

Rookie (running out of the dojo to catch up with Soutter) : Don't ask me!

[Scene switches to Soutter and the rookie outside the dojo on the street.]

Soutter : See pal, that right there lies the problem with some people, they think they can learn things in a week that it takes others years to master. Think of this as your first lesson, this game is not a race, the fastest doesn't always win, same goes for the strongest, its all about up here.

[Soutter points to his head.]

Soutter : Now, i got to get going and prepare for Shrove Tuesday.

Rookie : What exactly is Shrove Tuesday Suit?

Soutter : Why its the annual pancake day my young friend, and if you want any pancakes for yourself, you'll make sure your on time tomorrow with them tapes.

[Scene fades.]

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show a man in his mid thirties driving down the highway, there is a figure of Elvis dangling from the rear view mirror and the radio is on.]

Kyle Callaghan : Yo, yo, yo! This is DJ Kyle Callaghan, and your tuned into Wrestle Radio, 316 on your FM dial!

[The driver grins and turns the volume up.]

Kyle Callaghan : We got a huge hour coming your way, and back with us by popular demand, is none other then the Centre of Attention, Acadian Wrestling Superstar, Soutter! Welcome back to the show big guy.

Soutter : Popular demand hey?

Kyle Callaghan : Yeah, these fans out there love ya big guy, that last show we had with you was an instant success, and the boards have been of the hook asking when we were getting you back on the air.

Soutter : Well, i'm here now, and couldn't be happier.

Kyle Callaghan : Really? Cause we thought you may be a bit upset, or even angry, after your big debut didn't really go to plans. What with you losing in the first round to Dirk Disaster and all.

Soutter : Next question.

Kyle Callaghan : Ohh, come on big guy, you cant just pretend it never happened, the guy beat you in the middle of the ring.

Soutter : You think i'm not aware of that Kyle? That match was mine. That whole tourney was mine. I beat that turkey from pillar to post. It was meant to be my big night, debuting in style, but it was not to be, well, so be it. I'll play along. I'll go back to the bottom of the card and work my way through the ranks the hard way. I got no problem with that, starting this week in the six man, when me and the boys beat the living suitcase out of Midknight and the Brotherhood.

Kyle Callaghan : What do you think of y....

Soutter (interrupting) : I'm not finished Kyle. Yes, Dirk Diggler may of beaten me on Burn out. But i make this promise to you now, and to all of them listeners out there in radio land, he will never beat me again, and thats a promise.

Kyle Callaghan : Fair enough, i hope thats a promise you can keep.

Soutter : You sound like you doubt me Kyle, trust me when i say this, I'm not some turkey to be taken lightly, when i say something, i mean it, and mark my words when i tell you i mean this, i'm not making excuses, or even complaining or bitching, in fact, i commend him for being able to get one over me, congratulations pal, lap it up while you can, cause it will never happen again!

Kyle Callaghan : Well, thats very big of you, no pun intended, now, moving right along, this week, your teaming up with the Boys in a six man match against Midknight and the Brotherhood.

Soutter : That is correct Kyle, and i can't tell you how much i am looking forward to it. Time to avenge my lose to Disaster, and show everyone around here exactly what i am capable of.

Kyle Callaghan : And what is that?

Soutter : You'll see. I'm not going to give away the whole match right now, thats what you all have to pay to come and see, but lets just say its not going to be pretty, not for the Brotherhood anyways.

Kyle Callaghan : And your partners, the boys? There manager was quoted with saying it will be an honour for them to team with you.

Soutter : Can you blame her for that? Them boys look like my type of guys, not that any guy is "my type", but you know what i mean. I'll be more then happy to team with them, and after the match, look out, cause i think between us we can put half of Charlottetown out of business.

Kyle Callaghan : You know, just before we came on air, i was fortunate enough, or should i say unfortunate enough, to get a look at an interview with Tomas and Rottweiler.

Soutter : How terrible for you.

Kyle Callaghan : Tell me about it.

Soutter : So, what did they have to say?

Kyle Callaghan : Well ..... nothing really when i think about it. Something about missing Midnight, but not to fear cause he will be back with them in time for your match.

Soutter : How touching.

Kyle Callaghan : Some dribble about the Germans in World War II and the Blitzkrieg, and then how they wanted the tag titles.

Soutter : Good for them. Brotherhood, listen up! If you turkey's think your walking by us and into the tag titles, you must have rocks in your head. What do you all think, that if you tell yourself you are going to win over and over again, that it will actually happen? Sorry guys, but this is the real world, and in the real world, sometimes no matter how bad you want something, it just doesn't mean its going to happen. In the real world, when you have to face someone who is like 500 times superior to you, then, well, then you go down like Heather Brooke, most of the time, there are obvious exceptions, like last week when Disaster got to live the dream, but unfortunately for him, he has to come back to reality, and that reality will be in full display for him and the rest of Acadian Wrestling when the boys and myself school your lame asses.

Kyle Callaghan : Got time for a few callers after the break?

Soutter : Sure.

[Commercial for some Canadian beer plays while the driver takes a left.]

Kyle Callaghan : And we're back folks, with a full board of callers again, first caller, your on the air.

Caller 1 : Thanks, I'd just like to say that last week was a disgrace Soutter, you owned that tournament and Dirk Disaster, give 'em hell man!

Soutter : Thanks a lot. Can we give this guy a prize Kyle?

Kyle Callaghan : Ummm ... yeah, sure, hang on the line please, next caller, your on the air.

Caller 2 : Soutter you fat *&^%*, you must be the worst wrestler i have ever seen, and you claim your Australian, i have never seen you with a crocodile yet, or a kangaroo, what sort of Australian are you?

Soutter : A real one turkey. I don't have to try and be this or that. I am what i am, and thats a kick ass wrestler who just happens to be from Australia. Next caller.

Caller 3 : Hello, I'd like to make a request for a song please.

Soutter : Wrong station pal.

<click>

Soutter : Next caller.

Caller 4 : Let me just state that this is only an opinion, and no disrespect, but i must say, i think the Brotherhood is going to destroy you and the Boys.

Soutter : Well, you know what they say about opinions don't you? They are just like arseholes, everyone has one, and pal, yours stinks!

Kyle Callaghan : Well, there you have it folks. Soutter, thanks for joining us this evening, and good luck in the big match this week, any parting words for the fans?

Soutter : Well, i would hardly call it a big match, but yeah, for anyone down in Charlottetown, if you want a good cheap night of fun and plenty of action, head on down to the Simmons Sports Arena, i personally promise to make it worth your while, and i like it like that!
