HD: Wildcards/Landon segment

Recommended Posts

There should be another Wildcard segment and this should go before that. Thanks.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

We are backstage in the Wildcards' locker room. The mood is a little tense to say the least as Bruce Blank, Bloodshed and a hurt Todd Cortez are all staring at Landon Maddix.

 

LANDON MADDIX

Hey guys, how's it going? You... you look kinda... what's going on?

 

BRUCE BLANK

I think you owe us an explanation Landon!!

 

LANDON MADDIX

What do you mean? Explain what?

 

BRUCE BLANK

Oh don’t play cute with us Landon, War Games!!

 

LANDON MADDIX

Ah… yes that.

 

Landon grins nervously as Bruce brings up that match. Bruce, Bloodshed and Cortez all take a step closer to Landon kinda forcing him into the corner as La Cucaracha gulps nervously.

 

BRUCE BLANK

I mean it was easy, all you had to do was NOT quit!

 

LANDON MADDIX

Well I.. I know that Bruce...

 

BRUCE BLANK

NOT quit!! The opposite of quit!

 

LANDON MADDIX

I know Bruce, I do know the rules.

 

Bruce looks at Bloodshed, then at Cortez as if he’s trying to figure out what to do with Landon Maddix

 

TODD CORTEZ

You let us down man!

 

LANDON MADDIX

Look guys, it’s not that simple. I'm a young guy. A guy with needs. Todd knows what I'm talking about. I HAD to – you all saw the situation I was in, I mean what would you have done?

 

BRUCE BLANK

Not quit.

 

BLOODSHED

Not quit.

 

TODD CORTEZ

Not quit.

 

BRUCE BLANK

Looks like it’s unanimous Landon.

 

LANDON MADDIX

Look guys I’m sorry alright? I tried my best. And look on the bright side, it’s not like we’ve been kicked out of the federation or anything – we can turn this around guys!!

 

Bruce just stares at Landon

 

LANDON MADDIX

...I’m sorry alright? I apologize and I...

 

BRUCE BLANK

WE DON’T WANT EXCUSES!! WE DON’T WANT YOUR STINKIN' APOLOGIES LANDON!!

 

Bruce takes another step toward Landon with his hands clenched. The big man raises his fist as Landon pushes himself back against the wall with his eyes shut tightly waiting for the blow.

 

 

Then Bruce smiles and pads Landon on the shoulder instead

 

BRUCE BLANK

Lighten up bro, you’ll have a heart attack before you turn 30 if you keep being so on edge.

 

LANDON MADDIX

Bu... but I…

 

Landon figures that right now he might be better served by shutting up. First time for everything I guess.

 

BRUCE BLANK

But you really need to toughen up Landon, especially if you’re planning on still hanging around with the Wildcards. War Games may have passed but the war is still going on, you know?

 

Landon just slowly nods in response to Bruce’s suggestion that he toughens up. After the nod Bruce laughs and then puts his arm around Landon’s shoulder and drags the much smaller La Cucaracha with him.

 

BRUCE BLANK

You know I could teach you a thing or two Landon.
