[The scene opens to inside a locker room where Bryan Williams and James Radford sit on benches at opposite ends of the room. Bryan is already dressed for action and is sifting through his bag when James looks up from lacing one of his boots.]
James Radford: I bet you don’t remember me do you, Mr. Williams?
[Bryan looked up from his bag with a raised eyebrow in Radford’s direction]
James Radford: It was about four years ago now in Alpha Wrestling Empire. You and Anastasia Hayden were a thing back then and arrived on the scene with Cosmo Cooper and the like. Called yourselves Gen Now if I recall. Anyways, me and Ana were in the Alpha Cup Tournament to crown a #1 contender to their top championship. When we got to the end, it came down to the two of us, and I ended up being the one to come out of that with the contract. Ana tried to make it out like it was all just a fluke, but we faced each other for a part two, and again I came out victorious. That second time, though, you and Gen Now gave me one hell of a beat down that I’ll never forget. First time I’d mattered enough to get that kind of attention to be honest.
[James breaks eye contact with Bryan and finishes lacing his boot while still talking.]
James Radford: None of that really matters. When the promotion closed, we all went our separate ways. Ana went on to form the Hellcats and become a two-time 4CW champion. Cooper made a name for himself in Galveston, and then later in Valor. And you…
[James pulls the strings tight before tying them off at the top, and then leans back against the lockers and stares across at Bryan again.]
James Radford: You’re a superstar. Plain and simple. You had already built your brand before Gen Now, and only expended it since then. And me…
[James smirks, shaking his head.]
James Radford: I fell right back into obscurity where I was before AWE, saddled with debt, and contractually obligated to a snake in the grass.
[The last sounded a little bitter, but James shook it off while crossing his arms over his chest.]
James Radford: I just wondered if you remembered me is all.
