THOUGHTS In all honesty, I could have done without this, a match against Adam Allocco just five days away from a title shot which no one believed I could win. Adam had proven the last time we had faced off, that he wasn’t a slouch in the ring. But last time he had taken me lightly, and he had paid the price for precisely that. Someone of his experience, there wasn’t a cat in hells chance that he would make the mistake again. It was all well and good having a warm up match prior to Body Heart and Soul, but this was more than a warm up, this was a severe test, and one I would need to put the title shot out of my mind for, or fall foul to someone intent on revenge. I didn’t need the distraction, but I was finding out that was all part of being a part of this company. You had to spin all the plates at once, or you couldn’t become a success…I’d give Adam my best, just like I did before. But if that was the only thing I had on my mind, I reckon I could just about handle what was going on. After all, Allocco and I didn’t have a problem with each other, the same could be said for Dark Fantasy, and so it wasn’t like I had to watch my back every five minutes. That said I still hadn’t spoken to Kloe about the ‘problems’ I believed Orlando to have, and in all honesty it was a conversation that I wasn’t looking forwards too. How did you tell someone that you thought the man that they loved was an alcoholic…answers on a postcard please? It could go one of three ways, and none of them were particularly ideal. Firstly, she could agree with me, and maybe even be aware of it herself. With that came its own problems in that meant that up until this point she had been ignoring it and hoping it would go away. She could totally disagree with me, and say that there wasn’t a problem and to mind my own business, this of course would mean that there would be bad feeling between me and the wife of my brother, something that could never end well. Then finally, and probably the worst case scenario, she could disagree with me, and then go running to Orlando, and tell him what I was saying to him, and that I had already been to Nathan for help. No doubt how this would end, Orlando saying that there wasn’t a problem, I was talking out of my ass, and then possibly losing a brothers trust to the bargain. Of course I had to do something, because I couldn’t stand by and watch my brother’s slide into oblivion. To be frank, it might have been because of me that he had begun turning to the drink, because I hadn’t made his life easy of late after all. What with Denning, and then Douglas, it had been a stressful time, and only now things seemed to be getting back to normal. Was Orlando’s drinking a by-product of all the crap I had brought to his door. I found myself wondering on more than one occasion if he would be drinking if we had never found each other, and would he be better without me? It wasn’t a good situation, but it was a situation I had to find a way to sort out. Even though he had retired from wrestling a long time ago, the reaction he received at SCW events every week showed how popular he still was. I’d seen many wrestlers’ reputations ruined by drink and drugs, and I couldn’t allow my brother to be tainted by this, no matter what happened to me. He was called the ‘Icon’ for a reason, and that was because he was the man a lot of people looked up to at that time, what kind of person would I be if I stood idly by, and allowed this to happen? Yes, I would talk to Kloe, I would face Adam Allocco, and then I would compete for the World Tag Team titles at the PPV, and I would make sure this year didn’t go the way 2011 had for the Cruze family. I would hold this family together, just like Orlando had done for so many years previously, and would do again in the future once he was better…I promised myself that every day. I had broad enough shoulders, I could take all of this on no matter what Nathan thought, and I would stay strong…for everyone in my life. I could do this, I knew I could…I had to. PREVIOUSLY Shaun watches as Orlando throws his bags into the back of the car, and then turns to give Kloe a kiss. Orlando: You sure you don’t want to head over now…it’s going to be a heck of a lonely trip without you Shaun: It’s not like you haven’t done it before bro, and anyway I can’t, I’ve got some stuff to sort out first. I’ll be over tomorrow and we can go over Breakdown and the PPV Orlando: As long as you’re sure? Shaun nods, but he wasn’t sure, not in the slightest. He wanted to be on that plane with Orlando, and he could imagine him now once he got over to America, finding the nearest bar and drinking himself under the table. It was the only thing he could think of, so that he could get Kloe alone so that he could speak to her…and he also had a meeting with Dan Douglas this afternoon regarding the wrestling school. Shaun: You’ll be ok bro…you’re a big boy now. Just stay out the strip clubs this time huh? Orlando casts a look over at Kloe who is already giving him the dead eye Orlando: That is a blatant lie babe…it was just the one and it was Shaun’s birthday Kloe bursts out laughing Kloe: I was joking ya big goof. You got steak at home; you’re going to settle for spam are you? Orlando: Correct…now shut up Shaun Orlando gives her a big hug, widening his eyes at Shaun who holds in a laugh. They part, and Orlando walks around the car, and gets in the driver’s side, starting the engine. Orlando: I’ll see you tomorrow bro…love you Kloe. He drives off, turning the corner of the drive and out of sight Kloe: Tea Shaun? Shaun: Yeah, why not? Kloe enters the house and Shaun follows, just about to walk into the kitchen when he feels someone pulling on his jeans pocket “Uncle Shaun, Uncle Shaun, Uncle Shaun” Shaun turns, squatting down so he at eye level with his nephew Owen who seems more excitable than usual Shaun: Yeah little man, what’s up? Owen: I did fifty keep ups this morning…all by my self Owen had been practicing football now for quite a while and was getting good. It was the way he and Shaun had bonded, because in all honesty Orlando was useless at the English version of football, and did well to hold a football, never mind keep it in the air with as many touches as possible. Shaun ruffles the little boy’s hair, and Owen instantly looks proud of himself. Shaun: Well done…you’ll beat my record soon Owen: Yeah…what’s that? Shaun: Five…six hundred. Owen: That’s a lot… Shaun: You’ll get there, keep practicing. You can still do more than your Dad anyway Owen: Anyone can do more than Dad…wanna play XBOX? Shaun: Maybe later Owen, I need to speak to your Mum first. In a bit yeah? Owen: Ok…COD online it is then Owen runs upstairs, and Shaun turns, Kloe already looking at him Kloe: You want to talk to me huh? That sounds a bit ominous. I’m guessing that’s the reason you’ve let Orlando go off on his own right? Nathan was right, she wasn’t stupid, and perhaps she did know what was going on Shaun: I don’t know Kloe, it might be nothing, but I’ve got to say something or I’d never forgive myself Kloe walks over and pours tea from the teapot, stirring the mugs and then passing one to Shaun, and then sitting down. Kloe: Go on then…what’s he done now? Shaun sits next to her, placing his mug on the breakfast table Shaun: I don’t know how to say this Kloe Kloe: He’s not having an affair is he? Shaun isn’t aware of what face he pulls, but it certainly gives the wrong impression to Kloe, who almost immediately looks like she is going to burst into tears. Shaun reacts quickly, not wanting to make the situation any worse. Shaun: NO…no, it’s not that, Christ no. He loves you; he would never do that, not for a second. The relief on her face is obvious, as if that is the very worst thing that Shaun could have said. In a strange way it makes Shaun feel better, that just maybe it wouldn’t be so bad telling her. Kloe: OK, enough of the guessing games, why don’t you just come out and say it? Shaun: I think Orlando has a drinking problem Kloe…I think he may be an alcoholic. Kloe’s face changes before his very eyes, as she seems to go through a mixture of emotions. Sadness, anger, they are both in there, but when she responds, the only look evident on his face is relief. Kloe: Yes Shaun, I think you might be right Shaun scowls, not expecting the reaction, but it doesn’t stop Kloe from speaking Kloe: I’ve thought it for a while Shaun, but I’ve never had any proof, and you know what Orlando is like, if you ask him about something like this, he’ll just retreat into his protective shell and never talk about it. But I thought something might be up when he didn’t come home the other night, and I certainly didn’t believe the story you told me. Shaun feels his cheeks reddening, Kloe noticing Kloe: Oh don’t be embarrassed Shaun, he’s your brother; of course you were going to stick up for him. I’m assuming the reality of the situation is he got so drunk he slept it off at the pub? Shaun: Yeah, I’m afraid it is. They kept serving him because Orlando kept reminding him who the owner was. When Orlando wouldn’t wake at the end of the night, the manager just locked up and left him there. Hence he isn’t the manager any longer. Kloe: You sacked him? Shaun: He should have let someone know where he was…and he should have let me know what Orlando was up to that night…I had no choice. Plus, the payoff I gave him should ensure he keeps his mouth shut. Kloe nods, agreeing. Kloe: I can’t believe I turned a blind eye to it for so long, I should have done something. Shaun: If you’re the same as me you didn’t want to believe it. The question is, what do we do next? Kloe shrugs her shoulders, which were the reaction Shaun, had expected, but had hoped wouldn’t happen. Kloe: I don’t know Shaun, I honestly don’t know. But I know someone who might Shaun: Who? Kloe: Sallie…she’s been through it before with him and he came out the other side. Maybe she can help? Shaun’s experiences with Sallie weren’t great. She had taken quite the shine to him the last time she was here, and although she wasn’t bad on the eye, Shaun had realised quite early that her comments towards him had made Pixie uncomfortable, and she was only acting that she loved him then. Now, as they were starting out on what they both called their ‘proper’ relationship after preparing before, he knew that she wouldn’t take kindly to Sallie being around. Shaun: Is there no other way? Kloe laughs, which surprises Shaun considering the seriousness of the conversation. Kloe: She’s harmless Shaun, but I only need to speak to her…she doesn’t need to come over. Shaun nods; relieved that would be the case. Telling Pixie that Orlando had a problem wasn’t going to be fun, especially as Pixie thought everything would be so simple now. Sallie was one thing he just didn’t want to contend with on top of everything else. Shaun: Ok then, I’ll leave that with you, let me know what she says Kloe: I will Shaun… Shaun takes a sip of his tea, and winces a little as the heat burns his tongue Shaun: Can I ask you something else? Kloe: Oh God…one thing at a time Shaun She laughs Kloe: Go on? Shaun: Dan Douglas has asked me to go into business with him, a wrestling school, what's your thoughts? Kloe takes another sip of her tea, surprisingly for Shaun not even grimacing. Kloe: If you have any sense in that head of yours you will stay away from him and don't even go there. Honestly, if you go down that path, it won't just be Orlando on the drink it will be me as well. Shaun: That bad huh? Kloe: You know him, he cannot be trusted. Yeah he knows the business, but he's just as likely to screw you over than make you money. Don't waste your time with him Shaun, that's my advice. Shaun nods his head. He had his doubts before anyway, now he was pretty sure it wasn't the right thing to do. If it was going to cause the family any more problems, staying away was the sensible action to take. Shaun: And it seems good advice Kloe...I'll tell him I don't want to proceed. Kloe: Thanks Shaun...that's one less thing to worry about Shaun: Ok, well I guess I'll be off Kloe, thanks for the chat Kloe: No problems, thanks for speaking to me about Orlando. I'm sure between us we can get him back on the straight and narrow. Shaun: I hope Sallie can help Shaun stands, not finishing his drink and heads for the door. He knows Kloe is looking at him, but he doesn't look back, not wanting to change his mind. As he walks through the door, he pulls out his mobile phone and dials a number, putting the phone to his ear. Shaun: Dan...meet me in the pub...ten minutes THE PROMO – VERSUS ADAM ALLOCCO Shaun:Just a few days short of the PPV, and a massive tag team opportunity for me and Matt Hodges. Honestly, I thought that perhaps I may get Breakdown off, perhaps I could prepare for this massive opportunity. Maybe I'd be able to put in some extra homework on Dark Fantasy, maybe I could get some more training and preparation done. What I didn't need was another match with someone I know I was fortunate to get past the last time I faced him. See, the last time we faced off, the similarities with Breakdown are obvious. I was on the verge of my ill fated title opportunity with Shawn Winters, just in case you are having difficulty remembering. I didn't need to be distracted, but then there you were, in my way on the eve of my biggest night in SCW. Honestly, I might have spoken as if I could pull this off, but inside my butterflies had butterflies, because I knew how good you are. I'd done the homework, I knew what I would be facing, and I knew that whether I wanted to or not, I wouldn't be able to give you my all, and that I needed to hold something back if I was even going to compete with Shawn Winters. On that night however, something strange happened. Something I certainly didn't expect...probably the most intelligent wrestler in the SCW decided to give his brain the day off, and he fell into the same trap as so many before him, so many established SCW superstars that made the same mistake. He took me lightly, he thought I wouldn't be a threat, and he paid the price. He pauses, his eyes peering from behind sunglasses, hiding them from the world. Shaun:That about sums it up doesn't it Adam, the night that must go down as one of your biggest misjudgements in recent times. I beat you on that night because you thought I was a nobody, a joker living off his brothers success. You found out you were badly wrong, so I guess that would me that because you are so damn intelligent, this time I'm in for a really rough ride right? Someone like you, Adam Allocco, wrestling’s enlightenment, could possibly make that same mistake again...right? Wrong...because Adam, I think that’s precisely what you are going to do. See, you're not the same as say, Katie Steward, who also made that very same mistake of thinking I wasn't fit to lace her boots. She lost the first time we met at Anarchy in the UK, but since then she has gone to better me on two separate occasions. The reason for this, just in case you cannot comprehend Adam, is that she admitted that she had made those mistakes, and she made damn sure that she didn't make them again. She made no excuses for the PPV, she put it down to experience, and then she put it right. But, that's not going to be the case with you is it Allocco, because I'm guessing that already you will have a multitude of reasons for me being able to get past you a few months ago. Perhaps you were carrying an injury, maybe the weight you were placing on your shoulders to make your Father proud dragged you down. It could be anything you could think of, I'm sure I'll be hearing it. But there is one thing I'm even more sure of, and that's that you will never admit that you lost, because on that night you failed, and I was better. Regardless of what you have done, no matter how much experience you have, you will never admit that you just didn't use it, you thought that you just need to show up. In short, you'll never admit that you messed up...badly. But don't feel too bad Adam, because its not as if you are alone, because you come from a long line, I call them idiots, who think that coming out and just bringing their opponents down is going to achieve something in the long run. You'll come out and say how crap someone is, and how they are not fit to lace your boots, and you'll make a big thing about how you can't believe you're having to share the same ring with them. You think it makes you look all 'bas ass' lording it over all and sundry, when in fact the truth is much to the contrary. Because either way you look at it, you come out looking like the match meant nothing. What do I mean by that? Well, if you do win, you said it was going to be easy right, so anyone taking notice of you, not many I accept, they'll just say that the result was obvious anyway. He or she was crap, so of course Allocco won...so what? But on the other side of the coin, if you berate them so badly, and make sure everyone knows how worthless you believe them to be, what happens if you then lose? If you lose, to a total and utter joker, your words, what does that make you Adam? How can anyone really say that you are a world championship contender...if by your own words, you never beat anyone of any substance, and have never done, according to you, since the dawning of time? You're a clever guy apparently...and yet you seem to not know the meaning of preparation? Finding out exactly what you're opponent brings to the table. You expect to steamroller over everyone, just because you;re a talented guy...you cannot imagine anyone could actually be 'more' talented than you. Shaun removes his sunglasses, revealing blackening underneath his right eye. He smirks, knowing that the damage was obvious to anyone who was watching. He points to the black eye anyway, making sure Shaun:This is a result of how seriously I take this business, this company. With me, there is no half measures, no quarter given not even when training. This isn't the aftermath of a right hand though, this is what happens when your face is smashed into a turn buckle, whilst 'training' for our match and the PPV. I found someone just like you, someone who isn't adverse to bending the rules a little, and this is what I got for my troubles...but heck you should see the other guy right. You speak of showing people the right path, you claim to be 'wrestling’s enlightenment', I know what this business is about, I was trained by people just as intelligent, and as ring worthy as yourself. I know I'm lucky to be doing something I love, that's why I put everything into everything I do...even training. And as for enlightenment Adam, I think it is you that may be in need of a little of that, because as long as you think the way you do, you're never going to be as great as you most definitely could be. I'm a fan, honestly, there is no sarcasm in that statement as all, because the past speaks for itself. But at the moment bud, you are stuck in a rut, I know that, the SCW knows that, and I think you know that as well. The only question I really want you to answer is, if you truly want to do this to honour your Father, if you honestly want to get those glory years back, when are you going to stop talking, and start listening? Listening to all those folks that have been telling you were you are getting it wrong. Shaun shakes his head from side to side, wondering how it could be so obvious to him, a relative rookie in comparison, and yet it was as if Allocco didn't even realise what was going on, and how much talent he was wasting. Shaun:In closing Adam, the way I see it is this. I know damn well the stuff you have achieved in this company, and in Majestic, and I know just how good it will look on my CV having beaten you twice. I don't care to be honest how much you believe it was a fluke, how lucky I know I was that you took me likely, none of it matters now we stand before each other once again. The only thing that matters now Adam is that yet again I show the SCW that Shaun Cruze isn't just a by product of a wrestling family, and that I am more than capable of achieving the dizzy heights of stardom that my brother did. To do that, there is only one conceivable path which I can travel. That path, is one whereby every single time I step into the ring in the SCW, I give one hundred percent to ensure I do myself justice. And then each and every week, continue to bring those exact same principles, until I am mentioned in the same breath as the likes of you Adam Allocco, and others like you. I'm not conceited enough to think the win is mine by right, I know damn well I have to earn it, but I know that I CAN beat you again Adam. Jake Starr was just the beginning, Collin Cole and yourself just the continuation. After I beat you, and then Matt and I shock the world by claiming the tag team titles, there will be little doubt THE FUTURE is here Adam Allocco and its standing right before you... He pauses, for nothing more than the dramatic effect Shaun:...Enlighten that. Shaun places his shades back on his eyes, smiling as he does so. The camera then ever so slowly fades to black |
