We find Joshua Tucker in one of the hallways backstage where he is pacing back and forth. An uproar from the packed crowd catches his attention and he cracks a slight smile.
Tucker-Man, listen to them all out there, they are fired UP!
He yells and removes the lid from his water and starts waving it around in excitement slinging water all over the place.
Greg and Tina from catering walk by and try to cover themselves from Tucker’s excitement. He notices them and quickly stops putting the bottle behind his back and waving nervously as he apologizes while they pass.
Tucker-Sorry guys. Man I need to calm down a bit.
He says and walks in the opposite direction. He stops a few feet away and looks at the camera
Tucker-I just can’t believe it,my first WRESTLELUTION! I’m so thankful for the chance to be here and compete. Caine is going to be a tough son of a bitch to take down, but I have to do it to get Cincy back, and to shut him up about being dirty and liking it or whatever in the hell he has going on in that semi criminal mind of his.
Tucker-I listen to these fans and I just don’t get how you can’t get wrapped up in that and want to do whatever it takes to hear them scream your name over and over. Maybe someday i will understand BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!!! I am going to try to feed off of each and every person cheering for me and use that to hopefully beat Caine, but as I said before it will be no easy task, but it’s a task I’m ready for. LET’S GO!!!
He yells then winks at the camera before walking off as the scene fades

One mistake is all it takes! |
The scene opens with Asher limping his way backstage. The crowd could be heard giving their cheers for him and his fellow competitors. When he passes through the curtain, he hears some of the backstage crew talking about the ladder match that just took place. He smiled a little and got his hopes up, happy to hear some feedback
Staff member1:Holy shit! Did you see that? Parker killed it! Did you see when he dived on Asher?
Staff member 2:Yeah! How about seeing Mantis flying around the ring? That was smooth as hell.
Staff member 3:Nah man. I think Reese and Jackson stole the show! It's always cool to see big men in the ring.
Asher continued walking past everyone talking about his previous opponents in his match. Hearing how everyone was talking about them and not him really struck him to the core. The smile faded from his face, to instead of one with frustration and malice.
Asher remembered his plans to meet up with Tucker after his match but instead left the building. He took a long drive back to his apartment with a sour taste in his mouth, wondering if he could somehow turn his luck around and make people remember his name.
