OVER 9000!!!
It's slightly beyond dusk as Joey NOX and Sean Aries are sitting on the porch of Sean Aries' Philadelphia home. As the spring wind blows around the two, NOX and Aries sit there in almost an eerie silence. Aries adjusts his Flyers hat as his Flyers flag flies furiously just over his shoulder, the PRW Hall of Famer and Ultimate 28er making sure to point to his hat with a little wink for good measure. Joey NOX shoots Aries a look and rolls his eyes, the current Superbattle contestant stroking his goatee quietly. With hockey sticks just to the right behind Sean Aries prominently in the shot, Aries makes sure to continually remind us that playoff season is fast approaching. He itches at his scruff while he and NOX exchange awkward glances at one another, both guys seemingly struggling for something to say. NOX puts his shoe up on Aries' stone column and Sean very quickly slaps NOX's foot down. Joey goes to say something but Aries raises an eyebrow, NOX just returning with an eye roll. Before the silence can linger too long, Joey NOX fights through a cough and gets us on the road.


NOX: So....Vincent Knight.


Aries: So! Superbattle.


NOX: Uh huh. 20 dudes. I mean some ladies but mostly dudes. Quite the match.


Aries: Uh huh....


NOX: Uh huh.


The two stop, exchanging nods and forced coughs. The NOX-Aries relationship started as a backstage beef, blossomed into an awkward level of trust between the two before ultimately growing into a full blown friendship. At the same time, both guys couldn't be more different in their builds and demeanor. Despite their best efforts, they were at times TOO different to bridge some of the gaps in their friendship. This is one of those times, both men proudly trying to out awk the other in a battle of befuddled veterans. With a sigh, NOX reaches down between his legs and picks up Sean Aries' hockey helmet. Joey looks it over and casually spins it in his hands, Aries trying desperately to fight off the urge to snatch it from Joey's hands.


NOX: So you ever stop and wonder why?


Aries: About?


NOX: Why we're still doing this?


Aries: I stopped wondering about this a long time ago, dude. It's not worth spending the time to think about. We're wrestlers and we wrestle and that's the crux of this gig. You wrestle and I wrestle and we all find ways to have fun while we do it through gritted teeth.
It's the world's coolest job and I'm proud enough to have it except for 99% of the time when I'm not proud. You wanna litigate this again?



NOX: I dunno man. I just spent a lot of time thinking about why I'm doing this and I got nothing.


Joey tosses the helmet up into the air and Sean Aries snatches it. Rather than sell it, NOX keeps his hands in place as if the helmet is going to magically come back down at any given second. Clutching his helmet, Sean Aries leans back in his seat and lets out a grunt. Big Sean grabs a box of cigarettes off of the table next to him and he goes to pull one out. With another hearty grunt, he closes the box, slams it back down and turns to Joey NOX angrily.


Aries: Okay well then don't do it. Think of all the people in PRW who sign up for shit and then don't do it. Think of all the folks who agree to matches, throw themselves full head of steam into it and then just neglect and abandon those responsibilities the day of. We've had no shows before and well televised ones at that. THEY can quit so you can quit. So just don't do it then and be like those guys. What are they going to do? Sue you about it? This company can't even afford graphic designers to update our roster pages but you think they're going to afford the lawyers to sue you for breach of contract? You probably have all sorts of injuries so just blame one of those.


NOX: I can't do that, man.


Aries: So then stop bitching about this and win Superbattle.


The huff in Aries' voice catches NOX off guard momentarily. Joey goes to say something but a kid riding his bike by the duo forces them to clam up momentarily. As soon as the bike goes by, NOX turns to Aries and gives him a quizzical look. Sean's angry mode face is clashed by NOX's befuddlement, only further snarled by NOX's response to him.


NOX: I....I mean I plan on it?


Aries: Then good.


NOX: Good.


Aries: Good.


The duo falls quiet again. Sean Aries gives NOX a look and goes back to trying to pull out a cigarette from the pack. JUST when it looks like Sean's about to light up, Joey speaks up again much to his chagrin.


NOX: Vincent Knight has you all kinds of pissed, huh?


Sean Aries sighs, casually slides his cigarette back into the box and then puts it down onto the table. He goes to say something but instead he pauses, giving himself a chance to collect his thoughts. As NOX waits for something sarcastic or an Aries induced chewing out with a collection of quick hitters and loud noises, Sean just lets out another sigh. With his hockey helmet now in his hands, Sean begins to talk in an earnest frank sounding voice. For a brief second, Aries is willing to let NOX and the world in on his true feelings.


Aries: It's not about Vincent Knight. It's....okay so yeah it is about Vincent Knight a little bit. Joey, you've been here since the fucking beginning of this journey almost. For the most part and you're smart enough to do your fucking homework on me. I was too small, too goofy, too weak, smoked too much, not built enough, I didn't look good in a suit, I wasn't focused enough, I hung out with the wrong crowd, drank too much, played too many video games, you thought I was gay which thanks but no, I was too rebellious, my accent was too funny, I was too beautiful. PRW has always come up with a reason why I couldn't do something. Remember when they all would try to hit on Emily? Drug her up to try and bang her? Wine and dine? I fucking stuck through that shit. When PRW labeled me irresponsible because I fucked a psycho and had a child from all that craziness? I stuck through it. I stuck through all of the shit they threw at me to get me to quit. I finally get over that phase with them and then I get cancer. God GAVE them a reason to get rid of me-----and yet I still worked through that. I fought through fucking cancer just to grace the ring again. I've fought the Drives, Advincolas, Devlin Rok, Logan, LeBlanc, Andrews, Serial and the whole kit 'n kaboodle right? All of those plus cancer and YET I'm still this guy who is always on the verge of being replaced. Marshall "I'm better than Sean Aries" Cage, remember that shit? Now it's Vincent Knight fucking with me.


NOX: You're popular, dude. Sign of getting old.


Sean shakes his head, his fingers rattling against his helmet.


Aries: But here's the fucked up thing. I've been fighting PRW since day one and I've spent two years fighting my body just to survive----and I still feel like these fucking guys pick me because they see something in me they think they can beat. I still feel like a target even though anybody else in my situation would not give a single shit about anything other than the benefits of extra breaths taken in life. I'm still feeling disrespected when I should feel accomplished and Knight, kudos to him I guess, he's pushing the right buttons in my head to get me feeling some way. I'm tired of feeling like I have to prove something each and every single time out so I apologize if I can't relate to you feeling like you've got NOTHING to prove. I've got EVERYTHING to prove and it's tiring. I should be enjoying fatherhood and enjoying the fact I'm alive but every single fucking day I'm thrusting myself headfirst into this PRW shit because I HAVE something I gotta prove. If not to them then to me and if not to me then to the teachers who told me I'd never make it and if not to them then to the Mom who didn't think I was worth sticking around for. I'm SO tired of feeling like I have to make a statement to others.


NOX: So quit!


Aries: I can't quit!


NOX: AND WHY NOT?!


Aries: FOR THE SAME REASON YOU CAN'T!


NOX: WHICH IS?!


Aries: I.......


Aries pauses, NOX waiting for some fiery response. Instead Sean just grabs his cigarettes and his helmet and gets up to his feet. He looks out into the street and shrugs his shoulders, giving Joey a little look afterwards. With Sean Aries standing there sullen, Joey NOX rises up to his feet as well. The Bro Code suggests a hug might be too much but given how they're both coming to grips with how fucked up things are, they can only just stand there and take this all in.


Aries: I don't know. I just can't. You can't. I can't. I can't quit and I bet deep down inside you know you can't quit. We care too much I guess. We're too stupid to just quit and too prideful to be like everybody else in this fucking biz and take at a half ass effort. We're honestly stupid in a business that rewards the deceitfully smart.


NOX: Maybe we're cursed. Tsukes got me and Emily got you.


Aries: I mean I got some good sex out of that so I guess it was worth it.


NOX: Gross.


Aries: I'm not about to take shit from the ass eater guy. If you wanna talk gross I mean there you go.


Joey goes to say something but at the end of the day, I suppose that's a pretty solid check mate. Sean opens the front door to his house and calmly throws his hockey helmet inside. Cigs clenched tightly, he gives Joey a little nod and steps halfway into his house. Sean stands there and waits for Joey to get the hint until NOX finally slaps his forehead.


NOX, sighing angrily: You could at least say good night, Sean.


Aries: Night, pal. I got family stuff to do and you've depressed me enough.


Sean goes to step inside but Joey stops him, hand in between the door frame. Because he's Sean Aries, he still TRIES to slam the door on NOX's fingers but Joey juts a hockey stick between the door, motioning to it with his hand.


NOX: Forgot your sticks, dude.


Aries, looking up to the sky with a sigh: No. No, I didn't. Leave 'em out there.


It takes a second for the comment to reach Joey's brain but when it does, NOX gives Sean a little smile. Aries gives him a nod and the two share an unspoken understanding about Sean's tribute gesture. NOX grabs the hockey sticks and places them back as they were, looking up to the sky as well and giving the air a little salute. With the closing of the door behind him, Joey gives the house of Sean Aries one final look before he lets out groan.


NOX: Two hour drive home. It's like I'm back on the road already


Aries from inside: Joey go home or I'm calling the cops!


And with that, NOX scurries off the porch of Sean Aries and to his car.
