A shot of a coffee house is shown, in the middle of a big shopping centre that is quite silent. Through the back windows of the coffee shop the sun shines through brightly and a man is sitting there, sipping coffee, screwing his eyes up as the sun hits them while he tries to read the newspaper. For a moment or two he continues to read in a struggle but eventually gives up and swivels away from the sun, putting the newspaper down in a sunken defeated gesture
The man looks up and now, out of the sun, we can see he is a very familiar face. Sitting there on the stool is Joey Malone, former Deathmatch, Tag Team and Australian champion. A once proud, physically primed champion, now sitting in semi-retirement, bored of the lack of action. Action that had long gone unexplained to the DUEW fans and wrestlers. Very few knew the real reasons behind the events that had occurred lately to Joey Malone and the only one that could explain them was the man himself.
That was what he intended to do today. It was time to make things right once again and he had set in motion exactly what to do. He had to wait now, wait for that friend of his who was always running late. Just as Joey goes to look at his watch again a man says "Hello" to him and sits down by his side
Joey: "Sam my boy, nice of you to show up, even if it was late, as usual"
Sam: "Your lucky I even came here man. So are you ready to tell me about what the hell has happened to you lately?"
Joey looks at the ground for a moment and plays with his half empty coffee cup, before sighing and reluctantly beginning his story
Joey: "I'll take you back to the last Sunburn I wrestled on. All the singles titles were on the line then and I had just had a killer run as Australian Champion, but I had to face one of my closest friends, Julio Gonzalez. Well I got stabbed in the damn back by him and Matt Hare and what should have been a fair fight ended up with Nightmare coming down and ending my night. Or at least he thought. I wasn't gonna stand for that shit, so I came down to the ring after he won the World Title and I got blindsided by Hare again and was Tombstoned onto a chair. Doctors thought I was fine, but it kept on hurting me. I was in so much pain but I couldn't not come back, so I took part in the 4 Way at Wacky Wednesday but that wasn't a smart move
Sam: "More injured than you thought?"
Joey: "Exactly. When I got chokeslammed at the end of that match I was damn near paralysed by the impact. I sat still in the back of the arena until 2 am, when I fell asleep and was carried out into a car. But I was in great form and great fitness, I thought I could fight through it and be ok. Then came the plan for me to fight Bret Hart for a couple of weeks but I..."
Sam: "I? You mean he didn't show up"
Joey: "Only because...only because, well, I paid him to not turn up and wrestle me twice, because I didn't want to go out there and get more injured but I didn't want to disappoint the fans. I was sick of disappointing people, because I have been doing that to the people my entire career almost. So I told him to throw the matches, well Mr. Howard found out. He wasn't happy and asked me to leave DUEW for a while, until I got myself into a "more professional" mindset. Well I tell you what, that may not have happened but I don't care. Mr. Howard can stuff himself because he has backed a match at the PPV for any opponent, in fact he made the stipulations himself. Well I want you to go back to DUEW and tell them everything I told you and then tell Matt Hare personally that I am coming back to get my revenge on him that I should have gotten a long time ago"
Sam considers this for a moment before shaking his head and smiling, saying to Joey before leaving
Sam: "You got one fucked up brain there. I'll do it for you, but you watch out for your neck out there. And try not to piss Mr.H off anymore...I think his wife is going through Menopause"
Sam winks and leaves Joey with a disgusted look on his face
