We open to Dylan Thomas’s voice.
Dylan: I’ve had a few matches now on Mike Zybala’s Fairground of Fun that is Outsiders Wrestling. In truth, I never ever thought I would ever have matches in Outsiders but it is weird how things turn out isn’t it? This one however is a little different. I’m teaming with a fucking monster of a man in Frankie Larossia and let me tell you guys that I’m glad he’s in the A-List Family because I would hate to be on the man’s bad side. I’ve heard the stories of the ‘previous life’ of the Larossia brothers and let me tell you guys - you don’t want to hear it. Big Frankie might be the calmer out of him and Vincenzo but trust me when I say that he still has his temper.
The screen opens up to Dylan’s face and we find that he is in a police station. A man in his late 50s to early 60s is sitting across from Dylan. He’s a little overweight. He’s red faced like he’s seen too much whiskey in his lifetime, and he seems to be losing his patience with our Dylan.
Police Officer: We know just how dangerous the Larossia brothers are, Mr. Thomas. What I’m here to ask is, are you willing to help us bring them to justice?
Dylan: What? They’re my friends. No! No, I can't help you!
Police Officer: Look Mr. Thomas. The Larossia brothers never served time for all of the atrocities that they committed. Whether they are your ‘friends’ or not, is irrelevant.
Dylan: But I’m teaming with Frankie in the tournament of Outsiders against the girls of The Influence! You can’t take him away.
The police officer sighs and Dylan’s phone begins to ring, it’s Lissandra.
Dylan: Look, am I being held on anything either?
Police Officer: No.
Dylan stands up.
Dylan: Then I’m going. That’s my wife calling. What’s your name by the way?
Police Officer: Detective Samuel White.
The detective smirks.
Detective White: Tell the Larossia brothers that I’ll be seeing them soon. Very soon. They have a lot to answer for -and trust me, they will.
Upset, unimpressed and pissed off all at once, Dylan grabs his coat and marches out of the interview room. He answers his phone to Lissie.
Dylan: Babe, we got a problem. We need to get over to Frankie and Vinnie’s restaurant, now!
—------------------
Inside the restaurant owned by the Larossia brothers, the brothers are sitting at a table before they open for the lunchtime rush. The tinkle of the bell on the door catches their attention and there at the doorway stand the Thomas’s looking as white as sheets.
Vincenzo: Dylan! Mrs T! Sit, eat.
Frankie: Dilan! Are you ready for the tournament?
Frankie heads into the kitchen and grabs plates for the Thomas’s to eat food. It is then that the brothers notice the Thomas’s predicament.
Vincenzo: What’s up?
Lissandra: Vinnie, Frankie… do you know a detective called Samuel White?
There’s a crash of plates as Frankie drops them.
Frankie: MERDA! (shit!)
Vincenzo: The FUCK did you learn that name?!!
The Thomas’s and the Larossia brothers then sit down and have a very deep conversation which goes on for some time.
Vincenzo: Mrs T… the truth is White is a fucking punk and we did serve our time.
Frankie: Si. He is how you say… Corrotto. Corrupt.
Vincenzo: Yeah. He’s had it out for us for years. He killed his own partner. But he blamed it on us and has had it in for us ever since.
Dylan: Well it looks as though he’s going to be rearing his ugly head again guys. Right around the time of our match versus The Influence in the Marcus Welsh tournament.
Frankie: MERDA! Questo è fottutamente ridicolo. (This is fucking ridiculous.)
Dylan: I’m sorry, guys.
Lissandra: Well, we’re not going to be taking this lying down, gentlemen. We’re going to fight this. I’m going to look into every legal avenue that I can and bring this detective White to justice.
The Larossia brothers both scoff.
Vincenzo: The man is a cockroach, Mrs T. There’s only one thing to do with an asshole like him.
Frankie: Lucky for that strozzo, we’re now fully law-abiding eh, Vincenzo?
Vincenzo: Right.
—-------------------------
Dylan: Girls of the Influence. Let me welcome you guys to OCW and Outsiders. I know that you have been in OCW for some time, but personally, we’ve never met, have we? I would like to take the time to admit now, that Dylan Thomas is a fan of The Influence. Truly, hand on heart! You guys have been taking OCW by storm and I honestly congratulate you for that! But this is different, isn’t it? A whole new ball game.
So, you’ve decided to join the Marcus Welsh tournament. Well, it is unfortunate for you then that you have the A-List Family. Because you see Frankie and I, we’re going all the way in this tournament.
Don’t get me wrong, you girls are good, but I’m undefeated on Outsiders! The big guy is 550lbs of solid Sicilian muscle. There’s just no way that you’re gonna beat the A-List Family. But I look forward to seeing you give it the old college try. When Frankie and I DO go all the way in the tournament, you’ll be able to sit from the side-lines and say ‘hey, we were a part of that…..’.
Now recently speaking I know that you two have had your issues with the Dravers Twins. And therefore, there is one thing that me and you two agree on. The Dravers Twins are assholes - so I must admit that I was looking forward to seeing you two give those two a good kicking.
Unlike those two, I’m not going to sit here and push my achievements on you two, but thanks to you two, I will add one more accolade to them. The co-winner of the Marcus Welsh Memorial Tag Team Tournament. So thanks girls, you’re going to be a part of history.
The blood thirsty assholes (I say that as a term of endearment everybody) that are the Outsiders Yardies, they LOVE the A-List Family. Hell, the Outsiders Champion is my best friend! The Big Guy is one of his bodyguards. The Yardies are a shark tank, and it may be hard for you to swim with them and win them over. We did it, but it certainly took some doing!
So we shall see you at Dystopia 26 girls. But perhaps when all this is over you guys and us can do a collaboration on the next episode of Shining with the A-List? You girls are The Influence. The A-List Family rides the fine line between wrestling and celebrity parties. I think it would be a perfect fit. Don’t feel too bad when we beat you though. As you know, nothing personal! But our win at Dystopia 26 will be nothing short of Perfection, Personified.
==============================================
Back at the police station Detective Samuel White is in a room with several other police around him sat in a large circle. There is a whiteboard in the centre of the circle and on the whiteboard? There are pictures of Vincenzo Larossia, Frankie Larossia, Dylan and Lissandra Thomas and most amazingly of all…….Lord Allton!
Detective White: Vincenzo and Francisco ‘Frankie’ Larossia are criminals ladies and gentlemen. They are criminals that have committed atrocities throughout the years. I am making it my personal mission to bring these bastards to justice. Now they can act as legitimate as they like these days but the truth is leopards never change their spots. Everybody in this room knows that. The truth is, that these bastards killed my partner Mickey Donovan. Everyone in this room knows what a brilliant cop he was.
A young police woman raises her hand. He points at her giving permission to speak.
Police woman: And what of OCW superstars Dylan and Lissandra Thomas and Lord Allton?
Detective White smiles.
Detective White: I am so glad you asked. Mr. and Mrs Thomas are, for some reason, friends with the Larossia brothers and we all know that Lord Allton hires them as bodyguards. But whether they like it or not, the Thomas’s are going to help us bring these bastards down.
Police woman: And Lord Allton?
Detective White: He’s known about the inner workings of the Larossias for years and he hasn’t done anything about it. As far as I’m concerned he is as guilty as the Larossia brothers are, if not more so. I’ve heard the things that he got up to a few years ago.
Police woman: But that was all wrestling storyline, sir. In reality, he’s very charitable and a philanthropist. In his spare time he even helps out at a local food bank. I’ve seen him there. His presence is a real morale boost to the people there and a true influence in making their lives better. He’s a humanitarian, sir. A hero.
