Mad Dog’s House Big Ugly, WV October 12th, 2020 Off Camera
Sick days for kids used to mean chicken noodle soup and The Price is Right. Now with Zoom, Class Dojo, and every other app there is no such thing as a sick day or a snow day. Well, at Mad Dogs house, things are still done old school.
Gideon Wright is being home schooled, but today is a sick day for both student and teacher, or momma and son. That leaves Mad Dog to hold down the fort. Momma and little sister had just snuggled up in bed for a nap and Gideon had just finished his grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup and is relaxing on the couch when his dear old dad sits down next to him.
"Buddy, today we are going to watch one of your dads favorite movies, and one of the best movies ever", Mad Dog says.
"Harry Potter!", Gideon replies with excitement.
"Harry what? No, not that", Mad Dog replies.
"Oh, Avengers end game?" Gideon says.
"No, but let's have a moment of silence for Black Panther", Mad Dog replies.
“Wakanda Forever” Gideon says as he crosses his arms across his chest.
After a moment of silence Mad Dog pulls a DVD out and shows the case to his son. "Rocky?", Gideon says with a certain amount of disappointment.
Mad Dog looks shocked at his son’s response.
“Dad, that movie is older than you are” Gideon says.
Mad Dog shakes his head in disbelief and says, “Boy, just cause something is old don’t mean it ain’t good. 57 Chevy, 70 Challenger, and George Strait, they are all old and all still better than about anything in their field today”.
“UGH!” is all Gideon says.
Mad Dog ignores his sons groan and places the DVD in the player and begins the film. At first Gideon is clearly bored, but soon is sucked in by the classic film, and by the time the movie reaches the training montage Gideon is sitting on the edge of the couch fully enthralled. As Rocky runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and gets to the top with his hands in the air, Mad Dog looks over at his son and sees Gideon’s eyes the size of saucers and pumping his clinched fist.
“Pretty good for an old movie huh?”, Mad Dog asks with a sarcastic grin.
Gideon can’t even look away from the screen as he answers, “this is awesome, Rocky is gonna kick Apollo’s but”.
Mad Dog smiles at his son and then looks back to the screen. As the movie ends, Rocky and Adrian embrace in a hug and the credits begin to roll. Mad Dog is feeling motivated and looks over at his son who has a huge smile on his face, but Mad Dog watches as that smile fades into a look of curiosity.
“Wait, so Rocky didn’t win? What a bunch of bull crap”, Gideon says in a tone that clearly shows he wanted to use a harsher word than “crap”.
“Didn’t he though?” Mad Dog asks.
“No way, they tied. This is supposed to be boxing, not soccer.” Gideon says with an aggravated tone.
Mad Dog gives a heartfelt chuckle and looks his son in the eye to deliver real life lesson. “Son, that is what you call a moral victory. No one thought Rocky would make it out of the first round of that fight, but he took the world champion to the limit. The champion couldn’t beat him, even though he was considered the best and Rocky was just some random bum. Thing is, Rocky didn’t believe he was a bum. Rocky believed in himself, and he showed the world what a man who works hard and believes in himself can do. Rocky showed that heart is the greatest weapon of all, you never give up and you never stay down. No matter what is thrown at you, you get up and you keep coming. Rocky isn’t just about boxing; Rocky is a metaphor for life.”.
Gideon looks up at his father with a look of pride in his eyes and says, “kind of like you in wrestling?”.
Mad Dog smiles with pride himself and responds, “yeah, I guess you are right buddy. Nobody thought your old man was going to be doing what he has done so far, but your old man believed in himself and he has never given up. Ya know I may not win this Shogun tournament, but I tell you ya what, whoever wins it will have to go through me and I am going to push them to their limits.”.
Gideon looks up at his father and smiles, and wraps his arms around his dad’s torso and gives him a big hug, saying, “I know you’re gonna win Daddy, I believe in you”.
Mad Dog wraps his arms around his boy and says, “thanks buddy, that is all the motivation I need in the world”.
Hart Asylum for the Criminally Insane Serenity, CA October, 15th 2020 On camera
Mad Dog stands outside of the asylum smoking a Black & Mild as he stares at the home of Sanitarium. Mad Dog hates being locked in a cage, and always has a final smoke or dip of snuff before heading into the asylum to be locked up like an animal. Although, deep down Mad Dog knows that when he is unleashed from that cage, he is more ferocious then normal.
Sunny is leaned up against the hood of their rental car and sipping his pumpkin spice cold brew with three pumps of white chocolate and extra pumpkin spice. Sunny takes a sip of his drink and watches as Mad Dog begins to pace. Mad Dog always paced in his cage, and always paced knowing he was about to be locked in one. The camera focuses on Sunny who lets out an “ahh” as he swallows his drink.
Sunny places his cup onto the hood of their rented Ford Focus. Sunny stands up and straightens up his tie and clears his throat.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Mad Dog’s first match here in the WWH was with Giant Tiger, and now Mad Dog is stepping into the ring with Giant Tiger once more. Things have changed a lot for Mad Dog since July eleventh. Mad Dog has proven himself to be one of the top competitors in all of WWH and one of the most likely to win this whole Shogun tournament. You Tiger, well, for you, things have stayed the same.
Giant Tiger, you have continued to lose over and over again. I don’t know why; I mean look at the size of you. You’re a massive human who towers over everyone you step into the ring with. You aren’t just tall, but you are wide too. You’ve got to be one of the biggest and strongest men not just in WWH but in all of professional wrestling. I don’t know what it is Tiger, but you couldn’t win a match to save your life.
So, at Sanitarium it is going to be déjà vu all over again, because you are going to be taught the Wright way one more time, and you are going to be pinned by the Mad Dog in the middle of a WWH ring one more time. You’re probably used to losing by now though aren’t you Tiger?
Ha, Tiger. You don’t even deserve to be called Giant Tiger, you are a disgrace to mighty and majestic tiger. You are more of a rodent, someone and something to be looked down upon and shunned. Thus, from here on out you shall be known as Giant Capybara. You are the largest living rodent in the world, and at Sanitarium, you are going to get caught in the trap and get your head lopped off.
The big rat wants the big cheese, but to get it you have to risk it all and stick your neck out there on the line. If Mad Dog has proven anything in his time here in WWH, it is that when you stick your neck out, he is going to catch you the Wright way. So, are you willing to stick your neck out there and go for the big cheese? Or, are you going to do what you have done every single time you’ve stepped into the ring in WWH and roll over and die like the giant rat you are?
Well, biggest in size that is, everyone knows Dakota Rabbit is the real biggest rat in WWH.
Sunny stops as Mad Dog walks up to him. Mad Dog says nothing, and takes the Black & Mild from his mouth and hands it to Sunny. Mad Dog turns to face the camera and slowly exhales smoke from his nose. Mad Dogs face looks stern and serious, as someone who is about to be locked in a cage before battle would look. Over Mad Dog’s shoulder we see Sunny looking at the cigar in disgust and then just flipping it aside.
Tiger…Doug, we done did this dance once over on the blue side and now we bout to do this on the green side. The color doesn’t matter though, the location doesn’t matter though. Be it blue or green, be it a water bark or an asylum, the end result is going to be the same and that is old Mad Dog getting his hand raised and getting that winners share of da purse.
You might be the bigger man, but ain’t nobody wants to win this tournament more than old Mad Dog. You might be Ivan Drago, but I’m Rocky Balbo, you are bigger, but I got the real eye of tiger. You are my prey that I stalk in the night, and you are going to be in for the fight of your life. You already know that I won’t stop, and that I won’t back down. You stapled my face, and you tossed my body around, but I wouldn’t stay down. Old Mad Dog don’t know what it is to back down, I don’t know what it is to do anything but go forward and keep fighting. You’ve experienced it before Tiger, and I can tell you right now I have only gotten stronger.
As much as I wanted that first in in WWH, I want this next win in the Shogun tournament even more. I want to win this thing more than I have ever wanted anything in my life, because I know what it is going to do for my family and I. I know winning this tournament is going to put me at the top of the mountain not just in WWH, but in the whole sport of professional wrestling. Mad Dog is hungry to get up that hill, and the hungry hunts harder, and runs faster than the dog already at the top of the hill.
Doug, you’re a big ass obstacle in my way up that hill. As big as you are though, I’ve already proven you are beatable, and I’m gonna do it again. This dog is hungry, and this dog does hunter. Now it’s time for my to hunt some tiger. I tasted Tiger once, and now it’s time for seconds.
ARRRGGGG! AROOF! ROOF! ROOF!
Mad Dog heads to the gates of the asylum that begin to open slowly, as Sunny gives a confident smirk and the scene fades out.

(We see the Tiger Towers outside the Sanatorium and they are hanging out. Giant Tiger is in his wrestling gear.)
[Latrice DeNucci]
Babe you got a familiar foe this week in Mad Dog.
[Giant Tiger]
I know my love. He got me last time and I didnt complain because he brought the fight to me and he got the better of me.
[Dark Tiger]
Thats all youbask of your opponents my friend although you might want to be more aggressive. You are called Giant Tiger for a reason.
[Giant Tiger]
You know i should. I do expect a fight but I need a win in here somewhere. If i have to get mean i will.
[Gabriella Kealoha]
We know you need that win Doug. Just keep at it.
[Giant Tiger]
Oh i very much plan to. I havent been in pro wrestling too long to give up now. I am doing my best to make Italy proud in the Shogun Tournament. The least incan do is get one win for them.
(Latrice hugs her husband.)
[Latrice DeNucci]
You are trying your best babe. I know you are. Sebastian knows you are and Gabriella knows you are. Hell our kids know you are.
(Giant Tiger smiles as he looks down at his wife. He leans down and kisses her.)
[Gabriella Kealoha]
I hope Sebastian and I aspire to be like you two.
[Latrice DeNucci]
Dont worry girl. As good as you have been to him i have faith that you two will be together a long time.
(Gabriella smiles and looks up at her man.)
[Gabriella Kealoha]
I hope so.
(Dark Tiger smiles back at her and kisses her. Then a cameraperson comes to them.)
[Latrice DeNucci]
Hey All. Mad Dog Mark Wright. You and my husband meet again but this time in Shogun. you represent Appalachia and he represents Italy. You and my husband also now meet in the Sanatorium.
You can expect a better fight from my husband because he has yet to win and he wants to make Italy proud.
[Giant Tiger]
Thats right Mad Dog. you have seen what I am about now get ready for the Giant Tiger who wants that big W and I may be having a blast in the tournament i am thru playing around.
You see Mad Dog i can get mean when i need to be and i think i need to start getting mean. I dont wwnt to but i think i need to.
Mad Dog, I will hurt you and I will get that first win. I will do what i have to to get it. I am done playing.
(The ladies wave as Eye of the Tiger plays to commercial.)
