Taking Hold of the Flame has just concluded and there are many who are celebrating. Kandis is most definitely celebrating her Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal win. Selena Frost is celebrating her world championship victory. And yet while others celebrate, there are those that mourn. At least thirty nine others in the battle royal, as well as Adam Allocco, are mourning their own failures tonight. But one individual in particular is in great mourning. That man is still wearing his wrestling gear and is stomping around the backstage area upset over his defeat, his shameful elimination from tonight’s battle royal. For he had dedicated what was supposed to be his crowning achievement, his big victory, and upcoming Rise To Greatness main event opportunity, to the greatest man he had never known…James Evans.
Yes, John Wright, known to fans as Religious Wright, is quite upset that he let down his hero James Evans. But that isn’t the only reason for his angry demeanor this very moment. Part of it is sheer annoyance as he is being filmed by Brother Douglas of The Sword of Joshua Full Gospel Pentecostal Temple of Joy Holiness by way of Mt. Judea, Arknasas. Brother Douglas, wearing denim bib overalls, a white t-shirt, and boots, is carrying a large camera with him and pointing it straight at the downtrodden face of Religious Wright. He was brought here to film what was supposed to be Wright’s greatest victory, a victory in the name of THA LAWD! A victory in the name of James Evans! Instead Brother Douglas is filming Wright at his lowest of lows…
Brother Douglas: Come on, Pastor! Show us the face of a winner! Show us the face of victory! A victory you earned by the power of James Evans and in the name of the LAWD! Show us…
Wright turns and slaps Brother Douglas across the face. He points to his own face.
Religious Wright: Does this look like the face of a winner you inbred numbskull?
Brother Douglas: Uh, Pastor…we are filming. I thought you said you wouldn’t make my being inbred public knowledge?
Wright rolls his eyes.
Religious Wright: So I forgot! Big deal! That’s another thing going wrong today!
Religious Wright turns and storms down the hall. Brother Douglas continues to follow him with the camera, filming everything as he goes. Wright doesn’t notice for a while but eventually he figures out. He stops and turns to face Brother Douglas.
Religious Wright: What in the yellow HELL are you doing?
Yellow hell because “What in the blue hell” is way overused, don’t ya think? Brother Douglas smiles sheepishly.
Brother Douglas: Filming you.
Religious Wright: Why?!
Brother Douglas: You told me to.
Religious Wright: IF I WON!!! But did I win?
Brother Douglas: I dunno…
Wright looks on incredulously that his devotee apparently wasn’t paying attention.
Religious Wright: You don’t know? How don’t you know?!
Brother Douglas: I was trying to track down Selena and Deanna Frost. I want to get their autographs…phone numbers…flirt with them…uh…
Wright rolls his eyes.
Religious Wright: So now not only are you ignoring YOUR PASTOR but you are also STEALING MY IDEAS?! I placed a good bet on Frosty winning in hopes that she would tangle…in more ways than one…at Rise To Greatness. But guess what? I FUCKING LOST!
He sighs.
Religious Wright: At least I won $500 for that bet I made!
The erstwhile cameraman and follower of Wright pats him on the back.
Brother Douglas: See there, pastor! Not all is lost tonight!
Religious Wright: Maybe…but still, I had to settle for a James Evans Golf Cart instead of a James Evans Monster Truck. Then that cart was stolen by a couple of nitwits. And I got thrown over the top by Xander Valentine. I swear to you, Brother Douglas, there are way too many people named VALENTINE in this damn company!
Brother Douglas: I thought Xander Valentine was a chick.
Religious Wright: No that’s Autumn Valentine.
Brother Douglas: I thought that was the day Al Capone ordered a hit on a bunch of Bugsy Moran’s men.
Religious Wright: No, that’s the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Brother Douglas: I thought that was the dude who got married to the chick with the big ass.
Religious Wright: That’s Thomas Valentine.
Brother Douglas: …then who the hell eliminated you?
Religious Wright: XANDER VALENTINE!
Brother Douglas: Tellin’ ya, I was certain he was a girl.
Wright again smacks Brother Douglas in the back of his head.
Religious Wright: Just stop and LISTEN for a moment! We need to focus before my day gets any worse! Tell me, who is my next opponent? Who is the next victim of the great Religious Wright? Someone must be SMOTED FOR INCURRING THE WRATH OF THE LAWD!
Brother Douglas: Is “smoted a word”?
Religious Wright: It is now! Because THE LAWD decrees it! Now who am I facing?
Brother Douglas: Sal Darius.
Wright rubs his hands together, almost like a saturday morning cartoon super villain plotting evil villainy and shit. Which, knowing him, that is quite likely to be the truth.
Religious Wright: Perfect. That loser thinks he’s some MMA specialist but he has nothing on me! Nothing I tell ya! I was a collegiate great! I have experience coming out of my ass!
Brother Douglas: I thought you took medicine to fix that?
Wright smacks him in the back of his head.
Religious Wright: That was for the diarrhea I had last night after eating Taco Bell, you moron! Now focus! I have the talent, I have the experience, I also have the brains…Sal doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going. More importantly, I have the power of the LAWD and the memory of the great James Evans fighting with me! I CANNOT LOSE!
Suddenly the ringing of a cell phone is heard. It’s coming from Brother Douglas. Wright scowls.
Religious Wright: Who DARES interrupt the messenger of the LAWD?!
Brother Douglas: My sister.
Religious Wright: Gimme that!
Wright quickly snatches the phone out of Brother Douglas’s pants pocket. He puts it up to his ear.
Religious Wright: Hey there you sweet sexy thing! Did you see me in action? Did you see me talk tough to that loser Sal Darius? Did y…uh-huh…really…
Wright’s face goes pale.
Religious Wright: You heard your brother talk about wanting to hook up with the Frost ladies?...uh huh…and you heard me saying that it was my idea…well let me assure you that you are the only woman I am cheating on my wife with! I assure you! Your brother is a lying piece of shit! I would never cheat on our beloved affair by flirting with that sweet ass Deanna Frost! Never! I swear this…IN THE NAME OF THA LAWD!
He hangs up and hands the phone back to Brother Douglas.
Brother Douglas: You’re in trouble, aren’t you pastor?
Religious Wright: Shut up and sing me off…
“JESUS! FUCK YEAH!”
“THE POWA OF THA LAWD! FUCK YEAH!”
“GONNA WHIP SAL’S ASS! FUCK YEAH!”
“JESUS! FUCK YEAH!”
