COUPLE WEEKS AGO
Flex Johnson is in the office of Rob Dyrdek, skateboarding superstar. Flex takes a look around the place. He was amazed the minute he walked into the complex.
“Rob, vato, I got to give it to you. This place is nice man.”
“Thanks man. You know, just trying to make fantasies come true. You know what I mean?”
“I hear that man.”
Flex continues to stare, until he is interrupted by Rob.
“You know, Flex, we all got dreams man. Flex homie, what are your dreams?”
Flex thinks for a minute.
“Man, the same dreams I had when I first got into the business. To provide for my family, to make a name for my self. To bring honor and pride to the family. And… to be the badest wrestler in the business.”
Rob laughs.
“Same old Flex. But you know what you need man?”
“What’s that? A power animal?”
The two laughed.
“Well, yeah, but that’s not what I ment man. You need a place like this man.” Rob stretches his arms out.
“A factory full of fantasies?”
“Yeah man. A place were your fantasies stop being fantasies. A place where your Dreams become Reality!”
Flex thinks for a minute.
“Yeah, I..I could call it the Dream Factory.”
“Haha, I like it my brother.”
“I just got to find a large enough place in Ney York to build it.”
Rob takes out a small book.
“I got some connections in New York. Let’s see if we can find something shall we?”
“Haha, lets do it.”
Rob puts the book down.
“But first, you ever rode a skateboard holmes?”
Flex laughs.
“I rode one a couple times.”
“Haha, good. Let’s go get a good session in first.”

A FEW DAYS AGO
Fade in as we Flex, standing in his house, which is now full of movers and boxes. There were not many open spots in the middle of New York City, but Flex found one just one the outskirts. Inspired by Rob, he titled this new place the “Dream Factory”. Moving day was coming up, and Flex was preparing. The movers were just moving in the furniture and stuff today.
At the moment, Flex is one the phone with his brother Koji.
“Congrats lil bro. A champion already huh? Your going to break reign soon enough.”
“Thanks brah. Hey, so tell me about this new place. Where is it at?”
“Brah, just five minutes from Harlem. You remember where that old basket gym was when we were younger?”
“Yeah, cool man. But anyway, yeah, come on over big bro. We need to discuss some wrestling related things.”
“Aite man, I’ll be at you in a moment.”
Flex hangs up the phone, then turns to his right.
“Hey, be care with that chair. It cost more than your house and car alone.”

LATER THAT DAY
Flex had decided to stay at his bothers that night, since most of his furniture was at the new place. As men normally do, they discussed a variety of topics, such as wine, women and wrestling.
“So man, I hear your going for some gold yourself.”
Flex laughs.
“I guess bro. I’m in this tournament. I must admit, the competition is a bit more tough than I thought. Mickey Showery is busting heads as usual. And this Cutler guy may put up a good fight. Heck even Demon won his match!”
“May?”
“Again, he took on a scrub. He hasn’t faced a pure wrestler yet. Therefore, he is still an unknown to me.”
“I see.”
“In any case, I’ll have to murder the boy to get to the finals. And, the way I see it now, it will be Mickey and I.”
Koji laughs.
“Wait, your getting ahead of yourself. You got a match this week first right?”
“Ha, if you want to call Parker a match. He was unimpressive in his match last week. But you know me vato. I‘m still going train hard like always.”
Flex looks at Koji laptop.
“Let me see that brah.’
Koji hands the laptop to him.
“BA Parker…………..BA Parker, nothing.”
Koji laughs.
“Well, guess you will just have to learn on the fly.”
“Yeah.”
“So, tell me about this new place man. If it’s any thing like Rob’s place, it must be massive.”
“Yeah, it’s large man. Here, check this out.”
Flex pulls out a map.

“Here it is brah, nicked named the ‘Dream Factory’. First floor, a 27 x 27 ring, a weight room, and a extra large basketball court. Second floor, the kitchen, family room, living room, miscellaneous rooms, sitting rooms, etc. Third floor, master bed room, 3 spare bed rooms, person recording studio, personal studio for shooting promos.”
“DANNGGG!”
“Indeed son, indeed.”
“House party the first night?”
“Without a doubt.”
_______
A couple days later, Flex moved into the “Dream Factory”. They had a wild party to break in the place. But, on this particular night, Flex is recording his first personal promo.
_______
Fade as we see Flex Johnson in a white suit, sitting on a stool, sipping a drink. The scene is in black and white.
“Another day, another match. Just a day in the life of a Boss. This week, some scrub by the name of BA Parker. BA, what kind of name is that? Bad ***, ha, surely not. Let me touch on a few subjects.
“Parker, last week, you had a lack luster match against Tai. But, do you really think you deserve to be in the final 8? Heck I may not like Showery, or even Demon for that matter, but I’ve seen their work rate. Both of them can put on matches. They DESERVE to be here. Ha, how bout’ you Gringo?
“Wrestling isn’t just some cheep trick to impress your bar friends with holmes. We XDF stars Live and Die by this sport vato. But, it seems your heart isn’t in the sport. Your just here for fame right?
“Well, guess what brah. I’m going to grant your request. At Lockdown, Flex is going to make you famous. Then you can head back to your bar buddies, and tell em’ how Flex left you drowning in the red sea.”
Flex finishes the last bit of his drink.
“I hope your ready to play with the big boys Parker, I really do.”
Fade out.
