A camera takes us to the backstage area some time after Vendetta. The odd crew member walks by as the camera pans in towards a bulletin board; a lone paper is tacked onto it, but all that can be read from this distance is "Vendetta Card". Suddenly, tires squeal and BomberJake shoots into view in his golfcart--Tina Latina sits in the passengers seat and leans towards the card to read it aloud.
[ Tina Latina | "Let's see--not you… not you, not you… not you… Jake! You're on the card!" ]
Tina pulls out the tack from the bulletin board and hands the paper to Jake. Jake reads it over, mouthing the words as his eyes glaze over the page.
[ BomberJake | "I take on 'Showtime' T-Neff and Saul Hudsen--T-Neff was in a big match this week! And Saul Hudsen came very close to becoming the WWA Hardcore Champion." ]
[ Tina Latina | "Ah, that shouldn't scare you! You're BomberJake!" ]
[ BomberJake | "I can't believe it! My debut match in OTB wrestling and I'm in the main event! Better yet, I could qualify to be in the fatal four way ladder match at One Ring to determine the OTB World Heavyweight Champion!" ]
[ Tina Latina | "Oh, Jake, I'm so proud of you! Though I hope you're alright from that spill you took off the stage yesterday." ]
[ BomberJake | "Oh, I'll be fine--I'm too excited to think of that!" ]
[ Tina Latina | * laughs * "That's good." ]
[ BomberJake | "Get a load of this--GM Brian Daniels says that one of us in the main event HAS to make it to the fatal four way, so if there's a draw or anything, the match won't end there!" ]
[ Tina Latina | "I hope it's you, Jake! I know you're champ material!" ]
[ BomberJake | "We should celebrate!" ]
[ Tina Latina | "I like where this is goin'! You wanna… wanna join me and--" ]
[ BomberJake | "Of course I'll join you! You have to be there! Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" ]
[ Tina Latina | "Oh, yes--I'm ready for this all-nighter!" ]
[ BomberJake | "Tina, this'll go straight through the morning--DEF JAM VENDETTA!!!" ]
The scene changes to sometime later in BomberJakes locker room--empty pop cans litter the floor and surround the two. Jake is frantically button-mashing while Tina doesn't look too impressed by anything.
[ BomberJake | "Get up! Get up you son of a bitch, get up!" ]
Despite Jake's profanities and finger-clacking effort, Jake gets beaten by the seven foot tall Russian guy.
[ BomberJake | "Damnit!" ]
Jake throws the controller to the ground and it is heard hitting a slew of pop cans; BomberJake leans back in the couch and Tina sighs.
[ BomberJake | "What's wrong?" ]
[ Tina Latina | "Nothing… you wouldn't understand anyways." ]
[ BomberJake | "No, tell me--I really wanna know." ]
[ Tina Latina | "Well, it's just that… ever since I took this job and left my ex, I've been thinkin' about the ring." ]
[ BomberJake | "The Ring? That movie wasn't scary at all!" ]
[ Tina Latina | "No, not that ring." ]
[ BomberJake | "Well, One Ring isn't for a while, so you shouldn't be worrying about that yet--" ]
[ Tina Latina | "No. The ring--my engagement ring." ]
Tina holds up her hand and shows BomberJake a sparkling ring on her finger.
[ BomberJake | "Engagement ring? I thought it was a wedding ring." ]
[ Tina Latina | "Well, at this rate, I doubt I will be getting married--I've been having second thoughts about him." ]
[ BomberJake | "Well… I've never met him, so I dunno what he's like. I can't tell you whether or not to stay with him and it's really your choice, but… but I can tell you this." ]
BomberJake stands up from the couch and kicks away several pop cans. The PlayStation 2 hums in the background with the "Game Over" screen flashing repeatedly.
[ BomberJake | "When I'm in the ring, I go by my gut--I follow that gut instinct on what it tells me to do. It gives me timing for when I'm jumping off the top turnbuckle or hitting The BOOM on my opponent. Maybe… maybe that gut instinct applies here. Maybe you should go by your gut and make this decision." ]
Tina looks down at her hand and feels the ring, but is still hesitant and unsure.
[ BomberJake | "You don't have to make any decisions now, don't rush it." ]
Tina then lets go of her hand and looks over at Jake.
[ BomberJake | "I know that if I qualify for this fatal four way ladder match at One Ring, I'll be going on my gut instinct every time I climb a ladder--whether it's to jump on someone below or knock them off of their ladder, I won't have time to think things through in my head. I'll have to let my gut guide me." ]
Tina's eyes appear to water and she leans her head on Jakes shoulder. Jake puts an arm around her and gives her a hug.
[ Tina Latina | "Thanks, Jake… thanks for keeping me company." ]
[ BomberJake | "Anytime, Tina… anytime…" ]
Tina sits up from Jakes shoulder and looks at him.
[ Tina Latina | "Hey, you think you could win this match for me?" ]
[ BomberJake | "I thought that was the deal--I win matches so you won't beat me with a stick." ]
[ Tina Latina | * laughs * "I don't think that'd do anything--you've been through much worse." ]
[ BomberJake | "And this match is no different. I've won triple threats before--hell, my debut in wrestling history was in a triple threat match. I've beaten Azriel, The Mercenary, and lest we forget my infamous Atomic Wedgie match!" ]
[ Tina Latina | * laughs * "YOU had an Atomic Wedgie match?!" ]
[ BomberJake | "Yeah! I ripped Nathans boxers straight outta his shorts to retain the 'Fruits In The Loom' title!" ]
[ Tina Latina | * laughs * "Oh, Jake…" ]
[ Tina Latina | "Let's see--not you… not you, not you… not you… Jake! You're on the card!" ]
Tina pulls out the tack from the bulletin board and hands the paper to Jake. Jake reads it over, mouthing the words as his eyes glaze over the page.
