SAMPLE RP:
[Gordon Myers gets up with a mic in hand. Erik Reid meets Gordon out in
front of the announce table.]

GM: You have quite a big task in front of you this week, Erik. You go oneon-
one against Tumaffi.

ER: I know that, Gordon. This isn’t a big task. This is a monumental task.
Last week, Tumaffi, you injured someone trying to earn an honest dollar. I
won’t tolerate that.

[Erik points at the screen.]

ER: I want you to understand this, Tumaffi. Your reign of terror ends
_tonight_. You’ve done more harm than management ever should have
allowed. If they’re too scared to do anything about it, then fine. I’ll be more
than happy to put a stop to your random acts of violence.

GM: You’re not at one-hundred percent, Erik.

ER: One-hundred percent or not, no one else has the heart to step up to the
Samoan monster. No one else has the guts to look him in the eye. No one
else has the desire to put a stop to his madness. And body slamming the
big man? That won’t do a thing.

[He shakes his head.]

ER: You want to put a stop to this, Ricky? You don’t challenge the man to
see if you can body slam him. That’s just dumb. You get into the ring, you
get into his face, and you tell him what’s what. Tumaffi doesn’t want to
listen to words? Fine. I’ll speak his language.

[Erik arches his fingers and thumb on his right hand. He looks down at his
hand.]

ER: This is the great equalizer, Tumaffi. Even you can’t stand up to the
Iron Claw.

GM: What about “Pistol” Paul Driscoll?

[Erik looks at Gordon.]

ER: What about him?

GM: He’s alluded to there being a bit of history between your family and
his. What history?

ER: Something he doesn’t need to bring up. I have no problems with him,
unless he wants to make himself a problem, Gordon.

[Erik Reid walks off.]
