Route 3 Southern, WV May 25th, 2020
It's 5am and Mad Dog is driving down the back roads of Southern WV to his job at Alpha Coal. Hostess Powdered donuts, black coffee, and a Black & Mild is breakfast today, and almost every day of the week. Mad Dog rubs his eyes, trying to wake up. To help himself wake up, Mad Dog turns the volume up on the radio, and the sweet sounds of Dolly Parton come through the speakers.
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Coal mining is dark, dirty, and dangerous work. It's not for everyone, it's for the few who love to descend into the bowels of the Earth to extract "black gold.". Even as they face the risk of mines collapsing, or catching fire, or the long-term health threats like black lung.
Mad Dog is a third generation Coal Miner. He had seen his grandfather and father break their backs in the mine. Then, he saw his grandfather die of black lung, his father get laid off, the mine go bankrupt, and his father lose his pension. Mad Dog didn't want to be a coal miner but in this part of the state it was the mines, Walmart, Dollar General, or Welfare.
Mad Dog began coughing, a heavy and deep cough. He covers his mouth with his hand, and when he finishes coughing, he notices his hand as he moves it away from his mouth. His palm is covered with a fresh, wet, black powder, straight from his lungs.
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away
Mad Dog stares at his hand, thoughts of his grandfather and father running through his head. Is this what he wanted out of life? He knew the answer was "no", so why not chase his dream of professional wrestling. Mad Dog had grown up around the sport, and had been a "weekend warrior" for years now, but he had been afraid to go all in and throw away his steady income, benefits, and 401k...he has mouths to feed.
The sound of a blaring car horn snaps Mad Dog out of his day dream. He looks up and sees he has drifted into the other lane. Mad Dog whips his F-150 back into his lane, narrowly avoiding a collision. The passing vehicle continues the blow the horn and stops only to give Mad Dog the middle finger.
Mad Dog pulls off to the side of the road, his leg burning from the coffee that spilled onto his thigh from swerving the truck. "Ah, f**k", Mad Dog mumbles as he reaches into his glove box to grab some McDonald's napkins to dry off with. There, in the glovebox, buried behind the napkins is a flyer from a previous event, "Crusher Charly Wright Memorial Cup", it reads at the top. The annual memorial show for his grandfather.
"F**k it, just do it, Mad Dog" Wright says out loud, but to himself. Mad Dog grabs his phone, and scrolls to a name, "Sunny Jim", and hits dial.
Yeager Airport Charleston, WV July 7th 2020
Mad Dogs knee bounces up and down from nerves. He has never flown before, and now that he is setting at the gate for his first flight his nerves are really kicking in. The heel of his Cowboy boots bounce off the floor, Wrangler Jeans tucked into his boots and his Tyler Childers t-shirt tucked into his Jean's, trying to look professional as he bought a new denim jacket to match his Wranglers and even splurged on a new Cowboy hat.
MD: Why can't we just drive, like last time?
SJ: Mark, it's an eighteen hour drive, the only reason we drove last time was to hit those independent shots I already had booked for you. You are a WWH employee now, no more long drives like that, travel reimbursement is part of the deal.
MD: Sh*t Jim, I'm nervous I've never flown before. I mean, I even been to Japan and didn't fly.
SJ: How on Earth did you go to Japan and not fly?
MD: We drove. We'll the old lady drove, I was pretty drunk, it was my birthday after all. Hell, don't you remember? You were there.
Sunny pushes his wire frame glasses up and pinches his nose. Unlike Mad Dog, Sunny is dressed in khakis with a red polo, business casual for travel.
SJ: Mark, that wasn't Japan, it was just a hibachi restaurant.
MD: Well shoot, guess that explains why they didn't give me a Ribera jacket.
SJ: How about we go ahead and talk about the match, get you a promo in, that'll help take your mind off of it.
"Excuse me miss, can I get you to video tape the two of us?" Sunny asks a woman, interrupting her Netflix streaming on her phone. "Eww, gross. You creep" she replies, as she grabs her carry on and moves away.
MD: HAHAHA! Oh, Jimbo, I tell you what buddy, I'm gonna go get a drink while you find someone to hold that there phone for you.
SJ: Now, don't take too long. Our flight is in forty-five minutes.
MD: You find a camera man, I'm gonna go get some liquid charisma.
Mad Dog heads for the small Airport bar, and Sunny just hopes he makes it back in time. Nearly a half hour passes before Mad Dog returns, and while he is not drunk, he is lit. Sunny is pacing back and forth waiting on Mark, and when he sees him, he lets into him right away.
SJ: Where have you been? I tried texting and calling you... no answer.
Mad Dog shrugs.
MD: Uh, my phones on Airplane mode.
Sunny sighs.
SJ: Mark, you don't put it on airplane mode, until you are actually on the airplane, that is why it's called airplane mode. *sigh* Anyway, look, I found someone to record for us, come on.
Mad Dog tips his hat back, and straightens out his shirt, getting himself presentable for television. "Here you go" Sunny says to some morbidly obese man in sweats, as Sunny hands him his phone. Sunny and Mad Dog move in front of a wall that is painted with a backdrop of the city of Charleston, WV where the airport is located.
SJ: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and since it's 2020 and gender neutrality is now a thing, my name is Sunny Jim. The man who has managed more successful warriors than General Patton. The man you see standing here beside me is the Appalachian Animal, the Beast from Big Ugly, the Mountain Mad Man, he is the Mad Dog Mark Wright. We are now officially employees of the World Wrestling Headquarters, and I suppose the WWH thought it’d be best to give my client a true trial by fire. WWH officials have placed my client in a hardcore showcase.
When I read the words “hardcore showcase”, I first thought that was perverted, but then thought it was dangerous. I can tell you right now. that Giant Tiger better make sure that the World Wrestling Headquarters gave him a good medical plan, because he is going to need it after he gets chewed up and spit out by the mad dog.
MD: Hey, hey, hey, Sunny baby, ain’t nothing to worry about, just a little old kitty, and everyone know that dogs run them kitties.
SJ: Mark, have you seen the size of this guy?
MD: Na, but I ain’t worried about a honey I blew up the kids version of Joe Exotic.
SJ: What?
MD: You tellen me you still ain’t watched Tiger King?
Sunny rolls his eyes, and rubs his face. “Mark, give me your phone” Sunny says. Mark pulls his phone out and hands it to Sunny who begins moving his thumbs around on it. Mark watches him and takes a moment to spit is tobacco juice into an empty Mountain Dew bottle from his back pocket. Sunny pulls up a Wikipedia page on Giant Tiger and hands the phone back to Mad Dog. Mad Dog skims through it and then shrugs his shoulders and puts the phone in his pocket.
MD: Seems like a big old Carol Baskin to me.
SJ: Who is Carol Baskin?
MD: A f**kin b*tch is who Carol Baskin is.
Sunny sighs and rolls his eyes.
MD: Look Sunny, he is a big old boy. Looking like a jumbo sized John Finlay. Yeah, he’s a big boy, taller than Shaq, but obviously he ain’t that athletic or he’d be slam dunking for a living and not getten body slammed for a living. He’s also heavier than your first wife Sunny, but dang that is going to slow the boy down.
SJ: Did you really have to bring up Betty?
MD: Na man, took a forklift to bring that girl up.
Sunny once again sighs and rolls his eyes.
MD: old Doug DeNice….
SJ: DeNucci.
MD: Like I said, old Doug DesNuts, he is a big old boy but he’s going to tire fast, cause just like a F-350, that big body needs a lot of fuel to run. Doug DesNuts is going to get tired just walking his big butt to the ring, but Mad Dog can go all night long, just ask my old lady, she’ll tell you about how I can go all night long.
SJ: Mark, don’t be crude.
MD: What? I’m talking about Coon Hunten. I can hunt all night and still wake up in the morning and make biscuits and gravy.
SJ: Oh, I thought you were referring to….
MD: *cutting sunny off* Don’t be crude Sunny.
Another sigh and eye roll.
MD: I know Giant Tiger is a big sum b*tch, and he’s experienced, but I look at it as David and Goliath. No on thought David could beat Goliath, the Israelites and the Philistines both laughed at him, and said who is this little shepherd boy that dares challenge the might giant Goliath. Everyone thought Goliath would crush David like he had everyone else that had stepped up to him. The only person that believed in David was David, and that is all he needed. David knew he had the power of the Lord on his side, and that if Goliath were to stand a mock God that he must be slayed. Well, Mad Dog may not have the power of the Lord on his side, even though I know that the big man upstairs has a plan for me and is watching over me and all of his children, I know that the world is going to look at Giant Tiger and me in the ring, and laugh at me, and think Giant Tiger is going to man handle me, but Mad Dog is here to tell you right now that ain’t gonna happen.
Seven foot six, foo hundred pounds makes you a big old redwood, well old Mad Dog is gonna be Paul Bunyan that night. I’m going to use anything not nailed down to chop yo big ass down. Then I’ll strand back and yell “TIIIIMMMMBBBEEEERRRR!”, as I watch you fall to the ground. Then old Mad Dog is going to climb up and drop this old noggin on ya and pin yo big ass for da one, two, three.
Hey man, y’all Mad Dog doubters out there go ahead and put ya money on the big boy Joe Exotic ex-husband. Just remember, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Let’s see if the giant kitty can run with biggest dog of them all…and that’s old Mad Dog.
AAAAAHHHHH ROOF! ROOF! ROOF!
Mad Dogs barking stuns the others in the terminal and the obese camera man who drops the phone and the signal cuts out fading to black.

(We see Giant Tiger his wife Latrice Denucci and Dark Tiger with Dark Tiger's son SJ eho is now three. Dark Tiger sighs.)
[Latrice DeNucci]
You still miss my sister dont you Seb?
(Dark Tiger nods.)
[Dark Tiger]
Yes i do. She was the one i loved the most. That car wreck she was killed in still plays in my mind.
[Giant Tiger]
I know how you feel man. I can empathize with you. Hows your daughter doing?
[Dark Tiger]
Shes doing good. Shes off wrestling somewhere else. She doesnt meed me to hang around. She's a grown woman.
[Latrice DeNucci]
She is still a beautiful woman Seb and you ought to be proud of her.
(Dark Tiger smiles)
I am 'Trice. Very proud of her.
[Giant Tiger]
I know it might take a bit of a time for you to want a woman in your life.
(Dark Tiger sighs.)
[Dark Tiger]
You know what I can give it another shot but this time if the woman wants me she has to realize the whole package comes with me. They have to realize i have children and they mean so much to me.
[Latrice DeNucci]
Oh absolutely. Someone as good looking as you are I am sure there will be a woman out there that will understand that and will love your children.
[Dark Tiger]
I hope so. Enough about me right now. You two have to be ecstatic about joining WWH.
[Latrice Denucci]
Yeah we are. Thank you for reccomending them.
[Dark Tiger]
Youre welcome. I hear its under new management but for the short time i wrestled there the competition was top notch.
[Giant Tiger]
Thats what i want. I mean yeah i am close to eight feet tall but i want a good fight. I am not like the stereotypical giant and i got to steamroll over the competition. If i lose a match i want it to be a competitive match. i want to win five star ot better matches.
[Dark Tiger]
I am glad we teamed up years ago because we have that same mind set. I saw that you have a match this week. This will be the first time that WWH will bear witness to what the Titan of Tigers can do in the ring.
[Latrice DeNucci]
I cant wait to see what this Mad Dog Mark Wright can bring against my husband would be the better way of putting it.
(SJ climbs on the couch and he smiles at Giant Tiger.)
[Giant Tiger]
Hey there little nephew. You miss your mom dont you.
(Dark Tiger smiles but a tear comes down his face as SJ nods.)
[Giant Tiger]
Your mom was a heck of a woman. Your dad is a heck of a man. We hope you grow to carry yourself the same way your dad does.
[Sebastian Jr.]
I love daddy. I miss Mommy.
[Giant Tiger]
We all do little nephew. We all do.
[SJ hugs his uncle and Giant Tiger hugs back. Latrice smiles and SJ hugs her too. Dark Tiger smiles as SJ sits between them.]
[Giant Tiger]
Man i love this kid Seb.
[Dark Tiger]
Thats my son for you.
[Giant Tiger]
Getting back on topic I agree with my sexy goddess here. I want to see what the Mad Dog can bring against me. I want him to have a chance against me. Like Seb i have been in this business for a good while. The longevity that someone like me has is amazing in other people's eyes but i love wrestling and i am not going to stop.
(They continue talking.)
_____
(We now see them at the water park and their kids Doug Jr. and Dina are there palying in the park. The cameraman comes to them.)
[Latrice DeNucci]
Hey there WWH fans. I am Latrice DeNucci and this tower of a hunk right here is the Titan of Tigers Giant Tiger. We can not wait to get started in WWH. WWH was reccomended to us by one of our closest friends in Dark Tiger and trust me my sexy titan is ready for competition.
Mad Dog Mark Wright. How are ya? looks like you are a fighter and thats what my husband wants is a fight. Hardcore showcase huh? This will prove very interesting for my husband because he really doesnt need a weapon but he has been in hardcore matches and is not afraid to use a weapon and can you imagine what a seven foot six inch titan can do with a steel chair or a table?
(Giant Tiger smiles and nods.)
[Giant Tiger]
Mad Dog let me clue you in on a little something right now bud. I am different from the giants of this business. I maybe 400 pounds but i am in the best shape of my life. 400 pounds in my height would be compared to someone who is more than a foot smaller than me that would weight half of what i weigh right now.
I was a basketball player in high school but i was also wrestling and wrestling interested me more than basketball but i wont mind bouncing your head off a table like a basketball. Your manager thinks i will be chewed up by you does he? I dont think so.
I tire out easy? Ask this beautiful goddess right here how long i last.
(Latrice giggles and playfully punches his arm.)
[Giant Tiger]
You will find out Little Doggie that i will not tire out so easy. As i have said I am far from these other giants you have seen in professional wrestling.
[Latrice Denucci]
You know what i think babe. I think this Mad Dog is biting off more than he can chew and i think he will choke on it.
(Giant Tiger smiles)
[Giant Tiger]
Now now babe. Lets give this dog his due. I want him to bring the fight but if his associate is smart he will stay away and let his dog fight.
Mad Dog you bring up David and Goliath and i agree and i will admit that i have been beaten by men smaller than me but I dont go around bitching and moaning about it. If you beat me then you beat me but you can rest assure that IF you beat me you will be working hard for it because i will hurt you and hurt you bad.
I am the Titan of Tigers for a reason and you bring this Joe Exotic up. I have not seen the show and from what i have seen and heard him do to the tigers i would smash his head into his neck like a turtle but thats besides the point. The point is Mad Dog that i do believe the old saying about the fight in the dog. Bring it Mad Dog because this is one kitty who can and will send you to the hospital if you ate not careful.
I am goingnto come at you full force Doggie. I want you to come at me full force and we will see If the dog can put down the cat because this tiger is ready to put the mad dog down to sleep. See you at Dystopia Little Doggie.
(Latrice and Giant Tiger head off as Eye of the Tiger by Devil You Know plays to commercial.)
End Rp.
