INT. JACOB JAVITS CENTER - ARENA - EVENING
Our scene opens inside of the small arena. It is packed. The focus is on the action inside of the ring, as DAMIAN COLE is doing battle with ROBBIE HOSTILE.
As the action unfolds, we get the play-by-play commentary from the broadcast team of JOHNNY CADE and DICK DILLINGER.
Inside the ring, the think, dark-haired woman, is seemingly out, a pool of blood quickly forming around her skull.
And then we hear another voice off-screen.
Just like that, the woman on the floor gets up-- but it's not Priscilla Price, but rather actress EMMY ROSSUM. And that's not Damian Cole-- it's Tatum Channing. With that simple word-- cut-- everything within the arena changes, and it becomes apparent that we are on a movie set.
Outside the ring, the director, MILO GELMAN, approaches the REAL PRISCILLA PRICE.
Priscilla hesitates to answer.
It doesn't take but a moment for Milo to respond. He puts the bullhorn in his hands to his mouth, and addresses the crew.
Milo walks off. Priscilla turns to address MetroPRO documentarian Vinny Metro.

JOHNNY CADE
Oh no, the referee’s back is turned;
he’s still trying to get Devon X off
the apron. Damian turns to face
Hostile and there’s a right hand by
Hostile with the brass knuckles and
Damian's out! He slips the brass
knuckles into the front of his trunks
and makes the cover as Milton
White turns back. One! Two! Three!
DICK DILLINGER
I don’t believe it.
JOHNNY CADE
Robbie's celebrating! Wait! Priscilla
Price is in the ring! She's arguing with the
ref, pointing at Hostile’s ring trunks.
DICK DILLINGER
But the ref didn’t see it.
JOHNNY CADE
Look at this! Priscilla Price walks up
to Robbie Hostile and sticks her hand
down the front of his ring trunks, and
she pulls out the brass knuckles!
DICK DILLINGER
And I don’t believe it—the referee is
reversing his decision!
JOHNNY CADE
Uh oh, look out. Here comes Devon
X into the ring and he has a
steel chair, and he swings it
at the back of Damian’s head!
DICK DILLINGER
But Priscilla Price jumps in the way
and—oh my God, Priscilla Price has
just taken a vicious chair shot to
the back of her head and she is out!
And then we hear another voice off-screen.
VOICE
Aaaaannd Cut!

MILO
So, what'd you think?
MILO
What? What is it?
PRISCILLA
It was...pretty good, but--
MILO
But what? Tell me, baby,
don't make me put anything
inauthentic on the screen.
PRISCILLA
Well, when there's an art form to
pulling out a foreign object. I mean,
you can't just whip it out. To pull
off a sneak like that, you've gotta
be subtle and decisive at the same
time. Very few of us can pull it off.
MILO
Alright everyone-- take five.
Priscilla's gonna walk us
through a reshoot of the scene
and show us how it's done.

MetroPRO Wrestling is taking the industry by storm. Everyone is banging on the doors to be part of the action. Our roster's at capacity; the waiting list extends around the block. But what all of you fail to remember is this-- I am the original. This city-- this is my hometown. I am the Metropolitan Mistress. Before there was MetroPRO, there was Greater Metropolitan Wrestling, and that was my home. There's only one other person on this roster that can say that-- and it's none of the three that are stepping in the ring with me Sunday night in this very building. This is my home-- and my opponents-- they're nothing but a bunch of tourists.
Gideon, you think I'm an unknown quantity and a walkover? Sweetie, ask Ravyn how unknown I am-- and when she tells you I'm nothing but a whack-a-doodle, ask her how many victories I hold over her. I'll leave you to do your own research.
Ravyn, we both know the answer to that question. Deep down, you know you can't beat me. You can clamor on all day about new fed, new you, new this, new that-- it's gonna be the same old beat down.
And Will, sweet, sweet Will. I really would love to get together with you so we can talk this over, see if you and I can't find some sort of win-win resolution to this. We can work together, I can show you around my city, and we can get to know each other the way we didn't have the chance to back when-- well, you know. After all, I understand that Autumn is just about over, and you're on the market. My offer stands-- that is until the bell rings, at which time you may consider my offer revoked.
