HD: Leon/Zack/Bo segment

Recommended Posts

Backstage in the In Crowd locker room we find Leon Rodez getting ready for his main-event match later tonight. Leon pulls his elbowpad up with a snap, before slicking his hair into place in the mirror, in which we see both Zack Malibu sat across the room on his Blackberry. Which may account for some of the many styling products lined beside the mirror.

ZACK
I'm sure Melissa'll approve.

LEON
Har har.

With his hair styled to military precision, Leon grabs his robe off the hanger and starts to pull it on.

LEON
We'll see how much she approves of me kicking Reject's BUTT tonight, how about that? I mean, I'd hate to think that if Reject lost his belt tonight she'd ditch him and find another meal-ticket to mooch off of. How tragic that would be. Still, you sleep with dogs, you gotta expect to wake up with fleas, know what I'm saying?

ZACK
Says a man speaking from experience.

LEON
Hey, I never slept with Melissa!

Leon sorts his robe out, smoothing out any creases.

LEON
I mean, I don't think I did, it gets confusing sometimes.

ZACK
You're telling me.

LEON
Hey, have you ever noticed how all the Nerdly's names begin with an 'M'. How weird is tha...

Trailing off, Leon turns away from his reflection to see Bohemoth entering the locker room. Clearly having come straight from a workout session elsewhere in the arena, Bohemoth sets his bags down and wipes the sweat from his brow.

BOHEMOTH
What's happenin' guys?

ZACK
Johnny Bravo here's getting ready for his Tag Title match.

BOHEMOTH
With PR? Heh... good luck with that.

Leon raises an eyebrow. Not in the way a certain person would, but still.

LEON
Good luck? That's not a piece of cautionary advice by any chance is it? Look, I've dealt with PRL before bigman. I know what he's like. Or, was like. Whatever. But that's all water under the bridge. He seems like he's turned a corner since dumping The Lightning Crew, I'm happy enough to take the guy at face value for the night.

ZACK
Yeah, but, this is Tha Puerto Rican we're talking about.

BOHEMOTH
Exactly.

LEON
Would you guys lighten up? Jeez. If this is what being in the World Title scene does to you, turns you all bitter and jaded, maybe I oughta rethink this number one contendership thing. Just because we're opponents at November Reign, doesn't mean we can't go out there tonight and take the World Tag Team Titles off of Thunderkid and Reject and enjoy it, does it?

Bohemoth and Zack glance at each other with very dubious expressions on their faces.

LEON
Look, all I know is, last month I was getting kicked in the nuts by some Nerdly girl and was constantly arguing with my girlfriend Nerdly girl about being friends with another Nerdly girl. Life stunk. Then, I took in some 'home movies' with a fan of mine... who also happened to be a Nerdly girl. Now, I've got a shot at gold tonight and a shot at the World Title at November Reign. So it could be worse.

A smile forms on Leon's face.

LEON
Yep, everything's finally going my way. And I owe it all to casual sex!

Leon breezes past Zack and Bo and out of the room, leaving at them to look at each other again.

BOHEMOTH
That's your kid's godparent.

ZACK
(sadly)
I know.
