(However, that was last night. Today, "The Shiekdaddie" has decided to stay a little while longer, looking over the building for UWF officials. He has had a pretty busy day, but all he wants to do is get in his truck, drive to the airport, and go home. The man has had enough of this place. Can't really blame him though. Alabama...UGH!)

(Right now, we can see Mike walking out his dressing room. He is wearing a white "DON'T YOU WISH YOU WERE ME?" shirt, with blue jeans. Mike is seen walking down the long corridor, and out the arena door. He walks out to a virtually empty parking lot, when his cell phone rings. He unlocks his red Dodge Ram, and opens the door. He then answers the phone.)

The Shiekdaddie: Yeah...Mike Shiekman here. HEY! What's up, Greg? Well, I'm just about to leave the arena, and head over to the airport, and get back home. What's up?

(The man responds.)

Greg: Nothing much, Mike. Nice showing last night man, you really put that kid Stanton to bed and you beat out Ward yet again. And in nice fashion, might I add.

(Mike responds, very confident in himself. Almost cocky.)

Yeah, well, it wasn't anything. Stanton was foolin' himself. He walked into that match, thinking he could stay in the ring as long as he wanted, he didn’t stand a chance. But in the end, who REALLY DOES stand a chance against me? Ricky should have been watching more tape of my matches than sitting at home, just expecting wrestling ability to magically come to him.

(Greg laughs as he is obviously amused by what Mike has had to say. He responds.)

HAHA! That's great stuff, Mike. Priceless.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever man. I know you didn't call just to tell me about my win, cause I sure didn't need that. What do you want, Greg?

(Greg changes his tone, clears his throat, and goes on.)

Yeah, well, you know I'm you're agent. You’ve got a match this week, and I got the results for Shockwave voting unless theres a huge turn of events…

(Mike responds, a bit intrigued by what Greg says.)

Good. That's why I pay you the big bucks, Greg. That's why you're my favorite agent! So what's the deal? How much did I beat Stanton by 12? 8? 5? Do I really need to prove why I am the worthy candidate for that title shot?

(Greg is quiet for a couple seconds. Then he talks.)

Well, Mike. First of all, you’re in a 6 man tag, it’s you, Crucifier, and Krissy, v. Glenn, Jenni, and Marissa. As for the voting, Stanton is on up on you by a few votes…

Well I can always make it up, since I’m racking up the wins left and right, how many am I down Greg? 1? 2?

More like 5 votes.

(Mike responds, with a burst of anger.)

WHAT?! 5 VOTES? Finally, I have a chance to get a shot at a REAL title, and you can’t make it happen, not even the locker room?!? Dammit it, Greg. All of this work for nothing, what have you been doing for the last month?

Yeah...well I tried...

YOU TRIED?! What do you mean, you tried?! I told you I wanted you to help me! Instead, you just let those Southwest clerks walk all over you as they put some undeserving loser getting that title shot…It’s like letting a homeless guy take your car.

Well, I wouldn't say that. How can you say such a thing? The guy was have been a homeless person trying to make a living and he earned that car. Maybe it is someone who worked hard and finally saved money a car in Miami…

(Mike responds...with a bit of sarcasm.)

Come on Greg, bad example man, who is gonna believe that? Stanton is more like one of those damn Republican corporate giants.

I'm sorry Mike. I know how much you've been looking forward to this match at Shockwave, and you’ve been training so hard, but there was nothing I could do about it. I mean the other wrestlers...

(Mike ends the convo with the bad news.)

Well, listen Greg. I know it's not your fault. You did all you could. Oh, and by the way, YOU'RE FIRED!

FIRED!? You're kidding...you need me!

(Mike doesn't even respond to this last comment, as he presses the "END" button and ends the conversation. He tosses his bag into his car, and quickly gets in and starts it up. Mike pulls out the parking lot, into the street just outside the arena. He thinks as he drives to the airport.)

*What was I thinking? How could I fire my agent? He wasn't doing anything wrong. He did his job. He was not to blame for the voting this month. Shouldn't I be excited? Ican just prove this week that I can take them all out, and I’ll get my shot another time. Ah well, whatever.*

(Mike turns off the radio, and talks, once again to himself.)

Oh man...what is UWF up to? Do they honestly do not want a star like me AT THE TOP? Sunday, It seemed like maybe I was starting to get the respect I deserved. I had my shot at Stanton and Ward and I beat them...everything was all peaches and cream, I would most likely go on to face Marissa at Shcokwave. One on one...And I was gonna try to get the upper hand against her this week, but the other wrestlers in the back had to screw me over, and pick Ricky for the shot, what is that? I’m sick of some of those punks, being jealous of me just because they can’t take this down. You can say“What a child Mike is…”, but I’m not complaining, we all know who should be in that match, it’s plain and simple. But it seems like the guys in the back are starting to downplay who I am. I'M YOUR RATINGS BOOSTER, GLENN!

People usually do try to pump themselves up by trying to downplay someone else. Unfortunately for Ricky Stanton, he didn't have anything to back himself up. Last week he claimed that I was a little child with a name like one? RICKY...you are certainly mistaken! You probably don’t talk better than my little nephew in pre-school! I've been lacing up my wrestling boots and winning matches as a kid in my teens, before you even knew how to spell the word...WRESTLING. WAIT, maybe you don't know how to spell it. Sometimes if you can't do an action, you don't care as much about it. Well Ricky, here is a spelling lesson for you.

Wrestling is spelled: W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G. Wrestling. Now, is that so hard? I forgot, you aren't exactly the quickest runner in the race. I'll try to remember that when I talk to you from now on. Ricky, there’s a new era in UWF Wrestling. You've seen what I'm capable of doing, and you certainly felt it. And now, Marissa, Glenn, and Jenni will feel the same.

Listen Marissa, you just got to the top, the peak of the UWF wrestling chain, but that really doesn't matter to me. As far as I'm concerned, when you won the UWF World Title some time ago, the federation went to hell, along with everybody else. See, before you won your gold, wait you didn’t win it, IT WAS BASICALLY HANDED TO YOU, YOU WERE AGAINST RICKY AND CALL! UWF had a NOBODY talent roster. In fact, calling it a TALENT roster would be a joke. There was no talent there, the Shiekdaddie took a break during that time. Now I come back, and see you having a great run, but when you are finally out of your Stanton joke at Shockwave, who will be sitting there...as the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER to your strap? THAT'S RIGHT! The one man who can take your belt and your dignity in one smooth motion.

Marissa finally I get to face off against the Italian Princess. I was expecting it to be at Shockwave against you, but it’s not my time, it will come to me. However, I'm always one for a challenge. Me, Crucifier, and Krissy against the “best” the UWF has to offer, you, Glenn, and Jenni, how fun! There's nothing better than that! Guys and gals...Sunday night will just be another bridge on the mountain to the top, but this is the final rickety bridge. Well, it’s rickety for you Marissa, Glenn, and Jenni, you are basically on one foot. You guys are underestimating what could happen, hell, what will happen… Marissa, Glenn, and Jenni...when I'm done with you all, your steak will be finished. You have yet to see ANYTHING from The Shiekdaddie. Turmoil is the chapters and streaks die and new ones are formed, And that is a promise...I WILL MAKE!

(The scene ends as Mike turns back on the radio, and listens to “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns and Roses. This is certainly one of his all-time favorite songs. Mike's a pretty good singer, so he likes to sing along with the music. He continues his drive to the airport, ready to leave Birmingham.)

(Well, it looks like Mike will have his hands full this week. Only time will tell if he will be able to back up his words. At 2-0 in the past two weeks back in the UWF...he is one of the only wrestlers to have won his last matches. Will Mike be able to show the UWF that he is better than they thought? Find out next time...)
