All of a sudden the the TV screen goes blank and is immediately followed by the multi-color test screen and that ever-annoying screech.
"We're sorry to interrupt you're regular scheduled program to bring you an important message from Xtreme Industries..."
Screen goes blank again.
When the screen lights up a building comes into view. The building appears to be some kind of medical facility a fact that is confirmed by the sign out in front that reads: "SUNNY OAKS MENTAL REHABILITATION CENTER". The camera pans to the right and Johnny Kaos is seen standing in his trademark trench coat and sunglasses.
Kaos: Hello everyone. today we are going to do a documentary. I call it "Behind the Madness: The Black Jack Story". This facility you see in front of you is the place that your "Icon" called home for the past year. Today we're gonna talk to some of the doctors and patients who knew Jack personally.
(Johnny and the cameraman walk through the front door and approach a very large security guard.)
Kaos: Good morning, we are here to do a documentary on one of your fine establishments former patients.
Guard: Do you have an appointment?
Kaos: No, but I have $500. Will that work?
Guard: Hell yeah gimme that. this job don't pay shit. By the way who are you documenting? If you don't mind me asking.
Kaos: He goes by the name Black Jack, you know him?
Guard: Black Jack... Oh yeah he was that wrestling junkie who checked himself in here. Kept talking about a pink bunny or some shit. Strange fellow.
Kaos: Could you tell me a little about his stay here at Sunny Oaks?
Guard: Sure. First off let me tell you that man was something else. He was always walking round calling himself the Icon and the Best in the Business. He told everyone he was the best wrestler in the world and shit like that.
Kaos: Really? But if he was so good why was he here?
Guard: That's what I was always wondering myself, so I asked him one day and he just went fucking nuts and started screaming not the pink bunny, not the pink bunny and he ran into his room and wouldn't budge for two days straight.
Kaos: The pink bunny? That's very interesting. Thank you for your time.
Guard: No thank you.
(Kaos and the cameraman walk off while the guard counts his money. The camera fades out.)
(When the camera fades back in Johnny is standing in front of a door marked "Dr. Epstein, Psychologist." Johnny knocks on the door and waits for the doctor to invite him in.)
Kaos: Good morning doc, my name is Johnny Kaos and I am here to do a documentary on one of your patients.
Doc: Which one?
Kaos: Black Jack.
Doc: Oh dear, what do you want to know?
Kaos: Well, first of all why did he check himself in here?
Doc: Well, our friend Jack, had a multitude of problems. First he was addicted to just about every prescription painkiller on the market. Secondly he suffered from paranoid delusions and sociopathic behavior.
Kaos: OK doc, your gonna have to talk in layman's terms many of our viewers don't read past a 3rd grade level.
Doc: OK, sorry. Well to put in bluntly Jack was a junkie. He started taking pills to cope with injuries sustained in the ring, but that soon escalated into an addiction. And it wasn't just painkillers either, he also dabbled in hardcore street drugs.
Kaos: Well that explains a lot.
Doc: Yes. It was an overdose on PCP that made him believe he was being chased by a pink bunny. That fact coped with his delusional mindset caused a very unstable reaction.
Kaos: I bet.
Doc: Now, Jack did enjoy some moderate success in his wrestling career. Enough that he began to consider himself an "icon" of professional wrestling. A term he used often in his stay with us.
Kaos: yeah he says that a lot doesn't he?
Doc: yes he does. And he has told himself that so much that he believes it. Every loss he suffered he blamed on someone else, the ref, his opponent cheated, or it was a fluke. He truly believes himself to be the greatest wrestler to ever live.
Kaos: Doesn't make it true though.
Doc: No it doesn't. But it can make him a dangerous opponent. If he believes he is the best he will stop at nothing to prove it to himself and everyone else. I told him to stay away from wrestling, and for good reason.
Kaos: What reason is that?
Doc: He has built himself up to be larger than life so much that his fragile psyche depends upon it. If he suffers a loss or two he is likely to descend into the despair and madness again. Which is likely to get him hooked on drugs again and will only end him up here again or worse.
Kaos: Well doc, i hate to tell you that he is gonna suffer that first upsetting loss this Tuesday night when he faces me. And I promise you I will pull no punches nor will I have an ounce of sympathy for the crazy bastard.
Doc: Then in that case all I can say is God have mercy on his soul.
Kaos: he better because i will not.
(The camera fades out again...)
