The scene opens up with Alex Bowen sitting shirtless on his couch. Bent over, Bowen is running his hands over his scared, and freshly shaved head. One can only begin to imagine the thoughts in this mans head. A war has been started, and it will fester into something almost unimaginable at Redemption. Two men, one started it, the other claims to have perfected it. These two men have been at it for weeks, with Bowen getting the upper hand on a few occasions. Trading blows, heating up something that in all honesty will not end well. Nether man will quit, that is the only known in this match. This past week, was quite a dozy. Alex won his tune up match, only to finally end his service to the harbinger of chaos. Bowen raises his head, and the years of abuse are starting to show. But that is all, his face is blank. The giant brother, David Bowen walks into the room. making his way across the room to a large plush recliner. He sits, ignoring his brothers demeanor.
David- Alex, this is a rather comfy chair. Good on you, glad you picked this up.
Alex takes a rather deep breath, exhaling he rolls his eyes at his brother.
Alex- What do you want, go ahead... rub it in my face.
David- Why would I want to do that? I knew I was right, but how does that help you? Don't let this cloud your head. Don't worry about it, it's the one thing that you have over Ricky. You had a clear head, well up until last week. You were on the right path, bro.
Alex- Oh, I still am. I'm not really worried what I did to Ty. He got what he deserved. Try and take me out? Try and get rid of me....
David smiles at his brother, sort of softly chuckling at the last statement.
David- I've only been trying to do that for years, we all see how well that has gone.
Alex- Treat me like a son? Apparently he never was told the story of what I did to our father. He did get to me, David. But I was always the one in control. I used Ty Burna to get what I wanted.
A sly smile crosses Bowen's face.
Alex- Everyone thinks that Im crazy, or that I'm dumb for doing what I do. I'm one of the smartest people in Wzcw. I took the offer Ty gave to me, and got what I wanted. What did he get? Sure he got control of Wzcw for a few weeks. But in the end, it's his peons that are getting more out of this than he is. S.H.I.T and King are possibly looking at a world title shot. Good for them, but I have bigger fish to fry. This is my final stop in mayhem.
David- Exactly, see you focused on Bomb last week. That is why you won. Alex, this is crazy, this is really kind of over my head.
Alex- David,I know what I can do, and I know what Ricky can do. But when it all comes down to it, I need this win. Ricky talks about being something new now.
David- Why do you worried about him? Alex anyone can cut a shoot. He wanted to get under your skin. But really, you're the one who changed.
David puts up his hands as if he is afraid of Ricky
David- Oh boy, the pirate lost his non alcoholic beer gut! Jesus, Bowen he's washed up. He wants to bitch about title reigns from almost ten years ago... he needs to worry about you. I've never seen someone this focused. He wants to change his gimmick, wants to prove he is something new? Why should you be worried. He's letting all the crap cloud his head, Alex. He is taking everything everyone is saying and trying to change it all at once. He's got more on his mind than you, and that's a scary thing.
Alex- No the real scary thing is me. Because I've finally got to see the sky, I've finally figured it all out. I know why I fight, I know why I do the things I do. Daivd, you are all I have left in life. Outside of wrestling, I'm not sure where I would go. That is what keeps me going, this is all I know. I remember when I came here, Ricky was just getting big. I had spent the better part of a decade doing the same thing. I basically idolized the guy. But after I left, I realized something. I'm doing this stuff, day in and day out. He's just a gimmick. The whole time I was the real deal. But now he wants to change it all again. What he forgets is even though this is his match, I've had a slew of my own matches thrown into mayhem and won them. Does he know about the barbed wire match, or the Juggalo death match? He thinks a big cage will scare me. When the time came, he was the one who scrambled to look big and bad. He wants to drop the gimmick, well that's funny. Because that's all he is.
David- I guess you could say that.
Alex- I know I can say it. I've had gimmicks, but I'm always Alex Bowen. I'm a hardcore machine. That has never changed, but he's changed. He thinks image will win him this match. What he forgets is even though this is his match, I've had a slew of my own matches thrown into mayhem and won them. Does he know about the barbed wire match, or the Juggalo death match? He thinks a big cage will scare me.
David- You changed...
Alex- But I never got soft, I had to change to keep up. I was an old out of shape soon to be has been. When I lost my title, I saw the light, David. The game has changed, and that is what Ricky hasn't noticed. I wont feel the least bit bad, I won't apologize. My father taught me to never look back. I'm not looking forward, Im only looking to take this bottom feeder out for good.
David scratches the side of his face, confused at his brothers last statement.
David- So you changed, and he's changing? How does that make you any better than him.
Alex- I changed to keep up with the new people. Ricky is changing because he thinks it will win him one match. This is my livelihood here, this is just him trying to hold on to something. He says he's ready for a fight... Well Ty Burna just fed him to the lion.
The smile that was on Alex's face earlier returns, it twists into a maniacal grin. Evil thoughts flow through the mad man's brain. He rubs his left arm with his right hand. Rubbing it like he is trying to take all the hair off.
Alex- I loved it when he said being hardcore isn't about taking a licking. It's about standing up for the good things, and being true to yourself. Well, he sure lied there didn't he? He let me, and Ty get under his skin. What was the point of being a new Ricky? What happened to being true to yourself, he is full of crap...
David- Well prove that to him.
Alex- Daivd, I will. Wzcw is my wasteland, this is my ruin. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and now we will finally meet face to face. I've taken what I wanted, this is the final stop. I have seen him rise and fall, but that has not, and will never happen to me. He is not worth saving, he is not worth caring for. I am terror, I am famine, I am horror, I am exile. I was the worst thing to ever happen to Wzcw. Soon when I beat Ricky everyone will know this. Without me, chaos would have never happened. I am the be all, end all. Ricky will find out, just like Ty Burna did.
Alex is seething, he stood up during his tirade. David has wide eyes, scared of his own brother. The only words to describe this, blood lust. This is no longer a match to the man standing in front of the camera. David puts up his hands. His face is red, and sweat starts to drip down his brow. His head shakes, and his pec muscles start to twitch.
David- Alex... calm down...
Alex- No, he needs to see my life. He has it good looking in from the outside. This is how Steamboat Ricky ends, let him stand and face real pain. He will just stand in silence, and face his end. His career will not end with a bang... but a whimper...
Alex cracks his neck and starts to walk around the room. The scene ends as Bowen passes the camera.
