Martha’s Extended Stay Hotel Serenity, CA 8/25/20 – On Camera
"Now, I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in 1964"
Man, can we at least go to the beach or something? The concrete jungle is about to drive this old country boy insane.
Mark, the beach is hours away, and you still have an interview with some potential sponsors today.
(Mad Dog sits in a plastic chair of the small patio outside of extended stay room. He takes a swig of a Bud Light, because he can’t find his usual PBR anywhere in the area.)
We’ve been in California for less than two weeks and I’m about to lose my dang mind. Can’t find any Pabst, no one serves sweet tea, no one makes biscuits and gravy, people don’t be talking to their neighbors, shoot man this place ain’t nothing like home.
Well, you aren’t in Kansas anymore Dorthy.
(Sunny Jim sits beside Mad Dog in a matching chair, but instead of a Bud Light is sipping on a Peach Snapple. Unlike Mad Dog who is shirtless and soaking in the sun, Sunny sits in the small amount of shade provided by the building, as well as wearing a massive amount of sun screen. Mad Dog looks at Sunny after his comment and shakes his head while taking another drink.)
You ain’t kidden Sunny. Ain’t no body give a no mind to West Virginia or the Appalachians, but I’m about the change all that in the Shogun tournament. Old Mad Dog is gonna win this whole kit and caboodle, and when I do, I won’t just put myself on the map, but I’ll put all the people of the Appalachia’s on the map. Me and my people have been overlooked and underestimated for all eternity, but we are the back bone of this country. All these hippies out here in California wanna talk about their green energy, but baby this country was built on the coal that me, my pappy, my grand pappy, and thousands of other proud hillbillies have dug out of the Appalachian Mountains for generations. We keep the lights on and we keep this big old machine running.
See, I’m fighting for something bigger than myself, just like I always have. Shoot, some these people fighting for countries they aren’t even from and probably never even been to, but me, old Mad Dog, he’s fighting for his home land. Like Ace Michaels, you lucked into representing the back to back world war champs, the best country on Earth, the good old U, S, of A. MERICA BABY! But, do you really represent the real Merica? I mean as much as you be interviewing John Blade you might as well go ahead and call yourself Atlantaian, and all the while you Ace Michaels are looking like an old ass George Michael. Well, guess what Acey, old Mad Dog’s got faith, faith that I am going to win this here tournament and I’m going to start by picking up the dub against you at Sanitarium.
(Mad Dog stands up and tips the bottle of Bud Light back finishing it off with a quick chug.)
Really Ace, I don’t care where ya from or where ya repping. We got China, Italy, Japan, Uh-beka-beka-stan-stan, Asgard, Pluto, Mars, and every damn where else, but at the end of it all it’s going to be the people of the Appalachian Mountains who are celebrating as old Mad Dog is crowned Shogun and I move on to greatness. I’m speaking it into existence right here and right now, and while I know you are going to do everything you can to stop me Ace, you won’t be able to. I’ll admit I don’t know a lot about you, and I haven’t seen you do anything but hold a microphone and ask some questions, but what I want to know Ace, is can you fight?
Well we gonna find out if you can fight come Sanitarium. We know ya wife can, but toughness and skill ain’t intravenous, you don’t pass it around like you do the clap. Ya girl might be tough, but you ain’t gonna be able to hide behind her or your microphone. Na, you’re gonna have to man up. You representing the U.S. of A, so I’m expecting big things from ya boy, but remember this. Just like the Appalachians keep the lights on and if we decided to, we could turn the lights out at any time, and with the Wright way in my back pocket, I can shut your lights off at any time too.
(“I need another beer” Mad Dog says as he begins walking back into the room. “Don’t drink too many, we have a meeting later” Sunny says. Mad Dog simply waves him off. Sunny sighs and looks into the camera.)
A few short days ago my client defeated one of the top stars here in WWH in Charlotte Ross. He dropped her with the Wright Way and pinned her right in the middle of the ring. Ross is the number one contender for the tag team titles, she is vicious, twisted, and downright sick. You though, you Ace Michaels are a stick man, a talking head who asks questions that someone else tells you to ask. You’re no better than Anderson Cooper and not even close to the league of Tucker Carlson.
Ace, I will embarrass you and defeat you verbally, and Mad Dog will embarrass you and defeat you physically. Who knows, maybe I will take your job as a backstage interviewer, I certainly know I could come up with better questions to ask John Blade than “but what if you can't survive your match”, and “can you even defeat whoever it is you are facing this week”. I sure hope your wrestling skills are better than your interview skills, because if they aren’t you won’t even be able to survive against Mad Dog.
So, maybe take some time out of putting on your eyeliner and sculpting your hair, which I’m sure takes hours in itself. Quick side question, do you use that hair gel from there’s something about Mary? No matter, just take some time out of your morning routine of makeup, hair, putting on all your jewelry, which I’m sure probably includes a prince albert stud, and whichever leather pants you are going to wear that day. Really, it doesn’t matter what you wear because you are going to look like crap against Mad Dog. So, take that time you spend on looking like Billy The Exterminator and use it to say your prayers.
Say your prayers, because an intervention from the good Lord above is what it is going to take for you to survive against Mad Dog. Notice I said survive, because survival is all you can hope for, as winning is out of the question. Mad Dog is going to show you the Wright Way, and he is going make everyone in this whole tournament go mad. So, let me ask you Ace Michaels, what if you can't survive your match with Mad Dog?
(Sunny Leans back in his chair, smirks, and gives a wink as Mad Dog walks back onto the patio drinking a Bud Light. Mad Dog hands Sunny a bottle of sparkling water as the scene fades out.)

"Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts And a couple extra pounds never really hurt 'Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be"
I miss you too baby.
(Mad Dog is sitting on the couch of his hotel room. His eyes are red as he holds back tears as he video chats on his phone with his wife and kids back home in West Virginia.)
Daddy, when are you coming home, I miss you and want to play Fortnite together.
I’ll be back home on Monday buddy.
Monday, uhhh, that is so far away.
I know buddy, but Daddy has to work.
Daddy, are you going to bring me a seashell?
Daddy isn’t at the beach baby girl.
Aren’t you in California?
Yeah baby, Daddy is in California.
California is all beach daddy, you silly monkey.
(Mad Dog laughs slightly.)
It isn’t all beach baby girl; Daddy hasn’t even seen the beach while I’ve been here.
Have you met any famous actors? Did you meet Dwayne Johnson?
Haha, no buddy. Daddy isn’t close to Hollywood.
California sounds lame.
Yeah, it is lame buddy. Old Dad would much rather be at home with you guys.
(“ok kids, go get dressed” Heather is heard saying in the background. The screen goes dark and the sound of a phone being dropped is heard and seen. The phone is shortly picked up and Heather is on the screen now. Her hair is curled, and she wear a light brushing of makeup.)
Dang Ma, you looken good. Do I need to be worried?
Oh, shut up. We’re going to dinner at your parents, your brother is in town so they are having a get together.
Daniel is home, ah sh*t, I wish I was there.
I know honey, we wish you were here too. The kids miss you like crazy, and so do I. I know Daniel will be upset he missed you too.
Tell him when I get done with this tournament, we are going to take a trip down there to see him.
You’re damn right we are taking a vacation when this is all over. We need some daddy time; we aren’t used to you being gone like this.
I know baby, the being gone is the hardest part of this life. It’s not the training, it’s not the battles in-between the ropes, the bumps and bruises, na, it’s the being away from the ones you love. But, at the end of it, it is all going to be worth it. I’m going to be able to provide the life for you and the kids that you deserve.
As long as we have that life with you baby. I gotta go, we got to get to your mom and dads. I love you baby.
I love you too, and will until the end of the word.
(Heather blows a kiss to Mad Dog and he blows one back. The phone screen goes black and Mad Dog lays the phone down with a sigh. Mad Dog rubs his shaved head, the thoughts of his family dancing around inside his brain.)
Your Father used to act the same way on his long trips. I remember one trip to Puerto Rico when your brother was in a car wreck, he was about to swim back to the States he got so antsy waiting on a flight.
(Mad Dog looks over to where Sunny sits at the small kitchen table in the room where he is reading a newspaper.)
I remember that, he never went back to Puerto Rico after that.
He never went back on the road after that either. He said he couldn’t leave his family alone like that again.
I didn’t know that, I remember him wrestling after that, but now that I think about it, he was home every night then, and started in the mines soon after that.
He was right on the cusp of greatness. He had a match for the Caribbean championship the night that he left, but he gave it up to come home. Some big-time promoters were expecting to watch him that night. I know to this day he regrets it, but his family was more important.
(Mad Dog picks his phone up and opens a video of his kids playing that his wife sent him. He smiles as he watches the video, and the scene fades out on his smiling face.)
