The cameras pan in on Vegas Lawson, as he sits on a white leather sofa. His feet propped up, hair in a man-bun, shirtless, pair of baggy grey sweatpants, and black Nike slip on sandals. He turns down the music coming from his stereo as his cell phone rings. He puts it on speaker so that the cameras can pick up the conversation.
Vegas: Bro. I've been expecting you to call...took long enough.
Drifter: Sorry man, I've been busy.
Vegas: I heard.
Drifter: The Reunion?
Vegas: Yeah.
Drifter: I couldn't pass it up. It's been a long time since I've seen some of those guys. I was planning on just going to the red carpet or maybe doing a backstage interview or something til' Raven ask me to do the bragging rights match.
Vegas: You okay to do that?
Drifter: Yeah. I'm good. You know I've never had any long term injuries.
Vegas: Well, it seems like we'll both be back in action.
Drifter: Really bro?
Vegas: Yeah. I'm working on a deal with EWC. In fact there's a camera crew here now filming me for some behind the scenes stuff for a promo vignette type thing.
Drifter: Awesome. So what Rampage? Brawl?
Vegas: FSW.
Drifter: What?
Vegas: Yeah.
Drifter: The future superstars or whatever?
Vegas: Yeah.
Drifter: So you'll be wrestling for what about 4,000 people a night?
Vegas: Yeah, more or less. I'm thinking they get bigger crowds.
Drifter: Bro.
Vegas: I know, both of us back in action.
Drifter: Look man, you know I don't try to interfere with your career but 4,000 a night. You were in Major League wrestling in front of 40,000 people.
Vegas: So.
Drifter: So, you're a star. You mean to tell me that you'll be happy playing on a third rate show?
Vegas: I haven't wrestled in almost 6 years. Not alot of guys are going to remember who I am, besides I'm not even going by my old name.
Drifter: A twist or something? Like Shibourne? Shmiz?
Vegas: I don't want to be that guy.
Drifter: I don't blame you. I got lucky buying my name off of Simon back in the day. So what's your name going to be?
Vegas: 'Vegas Lawson'.
Drifter: Definitely fits your personality and you definitely know the town well.
Vegas: Exactly.
Drifter: Look man, I've got to be honest with you. I think you can do better than Future Stars. I think you should talk them into a Brawl or Rampage contract.
Vegas: FSW was my call. I think it's a good way to start fresh. Get the ring rust off, then see where it takes me.
Drifter: If it makes you happy bro. You know I just always worry about you. I don't mean to sound like big brother. I just know how tough this business can be and I just don't want to see you get jacked around by the suits.
Vegas: I'm good. I got this.
Drifter: I know you do.
Vegas: Look man, I'll be watching that Reunion show.
Drifter: And I'll be FSW's new number one fan.
Vegas: Appreciate that bro. You take care of yourself, and be careful in the ring.
Drifter: YOU do the same.
Vegas: I will. It's great talking to you.
Drifter: You too man. Oh, and call mom.
Vegas: I will.
On that note, Vegas ends his cell phone call with his brother. He puts his head in his hands for a minute, cranks the music back up, then goes back to relaxing on the couch.
