We open in a gym as Conner Edge and Rasputin Ito are sparring as Salena sits in a corner watching something on a laptop. Rasputin goes for a take down, but Conner stops him. They do a scramble and get back to their feet and continue circling each other. Conner looks over and sees Selena crying and gets distracted, Ito shoots in again and slams his down hard.
Conner Edge-(gasping for air) Time....out....dickhead.
Ito gets off him and stalks off to get some water. Conner gets up and walks over to Salena who pauses her program and wipes her tears.
Conner Edge- What are you even watching baby?
Selena- You don't want to know.
Conner Edge- I asked, I'm playing the concerned boyfriend.
Selena- The Dark side of the Ring on your dad.
Conner Edge- Oh. I mean I don't care if you watch it, long as I don't have to. (he sits down next to her) What's it covering that's got you crying?
Selena- His wife left him and then Godzilla's mom.
Conner Edge- Wasn't around for those but I know that's always fucked with Tank's head. He drunkenly went on a rant about it a couple years ago to me.
There's a moment of silence between the two.
Selena- So, I know this is kind of morbid but...
Conner Edge- You want to know what the cartel did to his mom?
Selena- Is it that bad?
Conner Edge- You know much about what the cartels do to people?
Selena- I've heard some things.
Conner Edge- They tied up her brothers and set them on fire while they were alive, they gang raped her and her sister, cut out their tongues and cut off their hands, apparently its from a Shakespere play, and then decapitated her parents and left them in a public place with some note of revenge. She bled out or died of shock or something before anyone found them. Her sister lasted a day or so after.
Selena- I'm sorry I asked.
Conner Edge- Tank told me that's why he started doing such big hardcore matches, blames himself for some reason and sees it as his penance.
Selena- How do you know that and are still so mean to Godzilla?
Conner Edge- I don't know, he's like a brother to me, I'm just kind of a dick, take your pick.
Selena- Jealousy.
Conner Edge- I'm not jealous of him.
Selena- He's more successful then you, sells more merch then you do, seems to have Tank's respect more then you.
Conner says nothing as Rasputin comes back over and tosses him a bottle of water, he says something in Japanese and Conner chuckles, Selena gets an annoyed look on her face.
Selena- Can you guys stop that, you know I don't speak Japanese.
Conner Edge- I got you those tapes and I'll help you.
Selena- You know, it was one thing on your ranch having your parents in the same house, I actually looked forward to being on the road all year because I hoped it would just be us. But now he's always around.
Conner Edge- Now who's the jealous one?
Selena- Seriously?
Rasputin Ito- He's wrestling a hippo this weekend, he needs my help.
Selena- I get training, but why do we live with you?
Conner Edge- Fair point, just you know, I already had the room there and all. But after the pay per view, I promise we'll find something or just find a nice extended stay hotel or something.
Rasputin Ito- With the way your training, after the pay per view, you'll be a pancake.
Conner Edge- Speaking on a lack of training, where's Shogun?
Rasputin Ito- He said Americans have proven to be no challenge and he sees no reason to prepare anymore.
Conner Edge- That's a healthy attitude to have.
Selena- Well you guys have fun training, I'm curious how the rest of Tank's life went.
Rasputin says something in Japanese and Conner laughs as they walk off, Selena rolls her eyes and goes back to the episode.
