Author: Ronnie McDowell
Subject: Calling Shots (Falconers, Johnny V)

Justin is fading out fast, but Ronnie is on an upward path like none he has ever been a part of. Even as his friend and bandmate sinks, Ronnie finds his own career filling with opportunity. Namely the opportunity to become number one contender to the Falconer Title.
The duo had come into the GWA as a tandem, but with Justin mired in his own personal prison, it seems like Ronnie has a much better shot functioning as a solo performer. With that in mind, he set up an interview with GWA's own Gary Howard.
Howard took a midnight flight into Phoenix, then jetted up the road a small step to Chandler, meeting with Ronnie in his home in the small Arizona town. As Gary taps on the door, he is startled as a voice, Ronnie's voice, calls out from behind him.

Ronnie:I'm not home.

Gary whirls at the sound, and Ronnie approaches with a smile on his face. The two shake hands and Gary looks at the modest one story house.

Gary:Nice little place.

Ronnie:Yeah, quaint ain't it?

Gary:That's the word.

Ronnie chuckles momentarily to himself, and then leads Howard and his crew to the garage, where among other things, there is a beat up old Mustang (repairs ongoing) and a fully set up drum kit. Ronnie takes a seat behind the drum kit, and nods over to Gary.

Gary:So...

Ronnie dips his head slightly, looking for the words..

Ronnie:Well, as you might expect, I plan on being in the Falconer #1 contender match upcoming at Avalanche. I didn't really head into Gladiator wrestling to be a singles competitor...

Gary:Yes, you were originally paired with Justin Watts, as the tag team Full Deck.

Ronnie:Yeah, and Justin is having..some problems.

Gary:Can you elaborate?

Ronnie:It wouldn't be right of me to elaborate, because somethings just aren't any of your damn business.

Gary:Sorry...I don't mean to pry.

Ronnie:Sure ya do..it's your job, you're a reporter. Don't apologize for doing your job.

Ronnie waves off the line of questioning.

Ronnie:But anyways, I have seen to it that I will be booked in that match at Avalanche, and of course, that is going to involve going head to head with some of the best light heavyweight talent in the business today. Fortunately for me, I am better than the best.

Gary:This from a guy who hasn't really shined in his first few outings in the GWA.

Ronnie:You ever started a new job...and it takes you a while to learn the ropes? You gotta get a feel for the job, for the people you work with, and for the business in general. Well, I've been learning. That's what my first month in the GWA was. Educational.

Gary:What have you learned?

Ronnie:For one, be very careful. People are dying out there, which seems a bit extreme for me, but I guess you'll have that. I myself though will avoid all Flaming Barbed wire hand grenade on a pole matches, in hopes that when I leave this business, I will still have all of the body parts I came into it with.
For two, you gotta push things to make things happen. The booking commitee here, and perhaps in all of wrestling these days...they don't MAKE things happen. They see who's hating on who, and they throw them together in a ring, and watch the ratings soar. Your own hatreds and biases shape your career.

Gary:And who do you hate?

Ronnie:For the sake of my career? I hate everyone. It's the only way to get any attention here. You gotta jump people, bash them over the head with a chair, hit them with a car, run them over with a cement mixer, pour the cement on them, and watch it harden. Of course, then, seeing as your opponent is then dead, you don't have much of a match on your hands, but by god, it will get booked.

Gary:You seem somewhat sarcastic about the current level of violence in wrestling.

Ronnie:I am sarcastic about everything.

Gary:Point taken.

Ronnie:But yeah, it's out of hand. And me and Just have both made the point that the holders of the Legion titles never seem that focused on the Legion titles...the last few Legion Champions have always had some other belt on them as well.

Gary:Which is why..

Ronnie:I am going to win this Falconer shot, and then take home that Falconer Title. Johnny Viscous is a good champion, but I have this feeling that I'd be a better one.

Gary:How so?

Ronnie:Well, Champions are representatives of the federation, so right now, Johnny represents all of the Falconer's on the roster.

Gary:Yes...

Ronnie holds his hands out to the side and looks at Gary with a troubled expression

Ronnie:And you don't see the problem with that? I mean, the guy is listed as a member of Asshole Ink. Now, I don't know what type of ink YOU use to write with Mister Howard, but I use blue or black ink. Now, what color is Asshole Ink? And...moreover, WHAT do they make it with? How do they make it? These are frightening questions, and ones that only our Falconer champion have the answers for. And in my opinion, no representive of our good fed should be able to answer questions regarding Asshole Ink.

Howard fights back a slight bubble of laughter, then nods at Ronnie.

Gary:You're quite a character young man.

Ronnie:Don't you forget it. Honestly, I am looking at things this way. Justin is GOING to get his act together, and the way things seem to work around here, we got a better shot at the Legion titles if I have the Falconer already wrapped around my svelte waist. And if that involves running over the entire roster of Falconer opponents, so be it. And then it will be me and Johnny V, one on one.

Gary:You know, it's not going to be that easy to win the number one shot.

Ronnie:Oh yes it is. For me.

Gary:Confident. You got balls, kid.

Ronnie checks his crotch for a moment, and then nods in agreement.

Ronnie:Yes, yes I do, or I would be competiting for the women's title.

Gary:Ha. Well, Ronnie you got anything else to add right now?

Ronnie:Well, I wanted to talk about the other characters in this Falconer title shot thing, but the names haven't been released yet, have they?

Gary:No, but maybe by this afternoon....I have to go for a little while, but I'll come back later.

Ronnie:Go? Where ya going?

Gary:To your friend Watts house. He called late last night to GWA headquarters...want's an interview, and when he found out I was going be in town, he jumped on it.

Ronnie is somewhat dumbfounded, and Gary tips him a nod, and shakes his hand again.

Gary:Like I said, I'll be back after a bit. See ya kid.

Gary and crew leave, and Ronnie is left sitting, a confused look on his face.

Ronnie:Justin, what the hell are you up to.....
