“Where’s Johnny?”
The voice of Kayden Christopher came through the slight opening in the door of Johnny Moxie’s apartment. On the other side was Lumina, Johnny’s……well, Kayden wasn’t sure what exactly he would call her. She slept with Johnny, who in turn treated her like absolute crap. That was some kind of a relationship, he supposed but he wasn’t sure what he would dub it exactly.
Lumina: He’s in the bedroom, Kay. Come in……I can go and get him for you if you want.
Kayden stepped into the apartment and gave her a silent nod as she ran off hurriedly toward the bedroom. Taking a look around, Kayden was disgusted. The place was a mess. There were clothes all over the place, an empty pizza box here and some empty soda cans or beer bottles there. It was filthy. He knew that neither Johnny or Lumina were much when it came to cleaning but this was ridiculous. Kayden shook his head, but found some relief as Johnny emerged from the bedroom in a pair of jeans, pulling a black shirt on.
Kayden: Christ, Johnny. Are you okay?
Johnny shrugged a shoulder as he walked past Kayden and into the kitchen to open up the fridge and grab a soda.
Johnny: Yeah, sure………….I’m okay. I was just taking a nap and I was in the middle of a dream where I was on the beach with all of the Kardashian girls, motor boating the shit out of them all when I got pulled down from my cloud and out of my slumber just to be told that you were here. So what’s up?
Johnny popped open his soda and took a sip from it as he turned to his old tag team partner, who shrugged.
Kayden: I just wanted to check on you and make sure you were alright, man. I mean I haven’t exactly heard a whole lot from you since Leigh left with Alan. And usually when I have heard from you it hasn’t exactly been good.
Johnny shrugged his shoulder. Obviously not wanting to talk too much about his ex or their son. He shook his head and took a chug from the soda.
Johnny: Well, I’m alive. I’m kicking. And to be honest, man I’ve never felt better. I’ve got myself some bookings again, I’m going up to Canada for some upstart company that’s just getting off the ground up there. It’s good times.
Kayden nodded and folded his arms over his chest.
Kayden: Yeah, Canadian X. I know. I’ve heard about it. That’s actually one of the reasons why I stopped over.
Johnny seemed more than a little interested at these words from his friend. A rather wide grin formed on his face and he nodded his head in Kayden’s direction.
Johnny: Well you cock sucking son of a bitch, you. You want to get the band back together and have one last run, don’t you? You want to call that crazy bastard Max up, come to Canadian X with me and pick up where the three of us left off in SVW don’t you? Well, shit……………..
He walked over to Kayden and patted his friend on the shoulder.
Johnny: All you had to do was say something. I mean, I can get both you and Max in the door there and by the time good old Angelo or anyone else knows what’s happening and thinks twice about it, it’ll be too damned late. It’ll be great.
Kayden shook his head though, not seeming too into the idea that Johnny was proposing here.
Kayden: No……..I don’t want into Canadian X. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that Angelo Valour is a nice guy and that the company’s going to take off up there but no. You know that I’m out of the business. You know that I’m perfectly happy working on Wall Street like I am.
He shook his head once more.
Kayden: I’m worried for you, Johnny.
At this, Johnny rolled his eyes and shook his head.
Johnny: Worried for me? Why?
Like it needed an explanation, right? Where to start?
Kayden: Well, I don’t think you’re mentally up to the challenge of focusing on opponents. It’s pretty obvious that you’re still not over Leighana leaving……………
Closing his eyes, Johnny seemed to be losing any patience he had with his friend.
Johnny: Don’t talk about her………………
Kayden shrugged a shoulder.
Kayden: Johnny, come on. Your mind is on her. It’s pretty obvious. I mean, I just don’t understand why you don’t just call her up and try to make things right with her. Think of Alan, man. He needs his father. And I’m sure he misses you.
Johnny sighed. His patience was now about as thin as Phil Collins’ hairline.
Johnny: You know what, I think you need to get going, Kay. It’s been awfully nice catching up with you and all……….but yeah. Let’s do it again sometime. Like when you come down off your high horse or preferably get your nose the fuck out of my business……….
Johnny chugged down the rest of his soda, then crumpled up the can and chucked it at Kayden. This obviously didn’t please Kay, who furrowed his brow and glared at Johnny.
Kayden: Johnny………….it’s just that I care about you and don’t want to see you………
At this, Johnny shakes his head and snaps at his longtime friend and tag team partner.
Johnny: You just don’t want to see me happy, right? You just don’t want to see me succeed. You just don’t want to see me go up there to Canada and kick some ass, huh? Or maybe you’re just jealous because people always pegged me as being the better of the two of us………..
Kayden raised an eyebrow.
Kayden: Really, you’re going down that road?
Johnny placed a hand on his hip and glared at Kayden.
Johnny: Why don’t you hit the road? Before I chuck you out of a window and it hits you……………
Sighing, Kayden shook his head and muttered “whatever” as he walked over to the apartment door and in the blink of an eye was gone. Johnny mumbled under his breath, more than a little frustrated at what had gone on. Lumina, who had been keeping her distance, finally approaches him and places a hand on his shoulder.
Lumina: I’m sorry……….
Johnny pulled away from her and shrugged a shoulder.
Johnny: Eh, it’s not your fault he’s a jealous dick…………….

The scene opens up to the sounds of someone humming “Oh, Canada” and we soon find out who it is. Standing in front of us with a Canadian X shirt on and a pair of jeans is Johnny Moxie. He gives us a wide grin and a nod.
Johnny: Here we are. Getting closer and closer to Canadian X‘s first show and damn………..what a show it is. You have some dick-with-ears with roid rage called Killgrave facing Brett Starr. In the official main event you have a friggin’ retarded clown facing a guy that looks like he’s the bastard offspring of the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Frodo Baggins. And………of course…………in the REAL main event of the show you’ve got me taking on three other people.
He nods and then raises an eyebrow at the camera.
Johnny: And I know what you’re thinking. Three opponents? A four way dance? Good god, the odds aren’t in my favor. And that may be true. If this were a four way dance where I was facing three regular opponents. But I have a bit of a handicap in my favor when it comes to this match because quite frankly my opponents are handicapped. Mentally.
He scratches the back of his neck and waves his hand at the camera.
Johnny: I mean, you’ve got Cid White in this match. I’m sure that by Canadian standards, Cid’s a world class athlete. I mean, the guy’s come out already and talked about how much he wants to make a name for himself and see his star rise in his home country. I’m sure some people out there would look at that as somewhat respectable. But me? I call it boring.
He shakes his head.
Johnny: Cid……..really? Could you be any more white bread and vanilla? So, you want to make a name for yourself and make an impact here in Canadian X. Great. But I hate to burst your little bubble……..nah, actually I’m enjoying it……….but the fact of the matter is that every friggin’ person in this match, hell every person on the show wants to do the same exact thing. It don’t take a genius, because god knows Canada don’t really have any of them, to realize that everyone wants to make an impact and turn heads on these first few shows for Canadian X. The thing that’s going to separate the people that can actually make an impact from those that are just talking out of their asses is what happens when that bell rings. And what’s going to happen when that bell rings, Cid, is that I’m going to outclass you in every way imaginable.
He snickers and places his hands on his chest.
Johnny: And really, would anyone expect anything less? I mean, I’m Johnny Moxie. I’m a former world champion. I’m one of the best wrestlers in the world while you? You’re not even the best that Canada has to offer. Not that I’d consider that much of a feather to put in your cap anyway. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your quest to become a huge star in your home country, but no matter how big of a star you’ll think you are, Cid, I want you to remember one thing. You’ll never be Johnny Moxie.
He flashes a toothy grin at the camera, then shakes his head and gives us a deep breath.
Johnny: And that actually brings me to Chris Madison, the second of my three opponents in this match. And a fellow New Yorker. I’ve got to say, Chris. Out of all of the people in this match, I think I come close to respecting you the most. Notice I said come close to respecting you because for some reason I just can’t bring myself to that point. Maybe it’s because we’re so much alike, Chris. Maybe it’s because both of us will try anything and everything that we can think of to get our hand raised in victory. Maybe it’s because we’re both so resourceful. Whatever it is, just as you said you have to keep your eye on me most of all, it’s what will make me more aware of you then our other opponents.
At this point, he gives us a gigantic sigh.
Johnny: Of course, that brings me to The Dark Spyder IV.
He rolls his eyes as he pauses for a moment, then leans forward as he speaks again.
Johnny; Hey Rorschach……….suck my sack. Out of all of the people in this match, you’re by far the most ridiculous. Hell, you’re even more out there than Cid Whitebread. I mean, what in the hell man. Am I supposed to actually fear you? Am I supposed to take all of these threats of yours seriously? Because, newsflash, I don’t. Hell, I don’t think anyone does. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You look like some lame wad, low budget superhero ripoff from a SyFy Original movie. And you’re the fourth one? THERE’S BEEN FOUR DARK SPYDERS? CAN THE WORLD HANDLE FOUR DARK SPYDERS?
He places his hand on his forehead and sighs.
Johnny: HELL, I CAN BARELY HANDLE ONE!
He looks down at the floor and shakes his head with a wide, shit eating smirk.
Johnny: And it’s not because I’m going to be awestruck by your death defying insanity once that bell rings. It’s because I’m going to be laughing nonstop to the point of almost pissing myself at how ridiculous you are. You trained your ass off to get to this point? Awesome. You’ve researched myself, Cid and Chris to the point where you think you know everything you can about us? Cool. But there’s only so much that training can do for you and there’s only so much you can learn by watching video or taking notes. The fact of the matter, Spyder, is that when you step into that ring and go face to face with someone it’s a totally different experience than watching them from afar. But you don’t need to take my word for it because I’m going to show you that first hand when we step into the ring and this little four way dance commences.
He shakes his head as he folds his arms over his chest and nods at us.
Johnny: Because I’m going to go out to that ring for one reason and one reason only and that’s to embarrass the holy hell out of each and every one of you. Well, that and to win the right to pick my opponent next week in a tournament match. Who will I pick? Does it really matter? I’m going to show not just Canada, but the world that I can beat each and every one of you when the bell rings. So tuck your heads between your legs and kiss your asses goodbye, because you’re all going to get In-Mox-Icated!

Johnny popped open his soda and took a sip from it as he turned to his old tag team partner, who shrugged.
