Tune Up {Jason}

[Generra]

“What do you mean titles aren’t everything? I thought this was what you said it should be like?!”

The voice on the other end of the phone call was calm, yet had a hint of disappointment somewhere in it while Generra sat there with a look of bewilderment over what was being said. She had thought she was succeeding in what she set out to do. Assist in cementing Money Maker Incorporated as one of the greatest groups ever assembled. Her client alone now held not only the top prize in the business, but now was half of the TNB tag team champions. But whomever this was on the other end of the phone call didn’t seem as ecstatic as she was. But the real question was, why did it matter to Generra either way?

“I understand that, I do.”

She paused, hearing the other end of the call for a few seconds before responding again.

“I don’t understand what you want from me. I’ve tried and tried and tried everything I possibly know how to try to do but nothing seems to please you! Are you playing games with me? Is all of this on purpose?!”

She was now getting agitated in the back of the limo she was seated in, awaiting the arrival of her client, Jason Youngblood. It was a great night for the faction as a whole, but this phone call alone had almost ruined it for her in one fell swoop. When her turn to speak came again…

“Not enough of an edge? What do you mean by---“

She was cut off, as the voice on the other end chimed in once more. She listened intently, her eyes showing how upset she was now and wondering where all of this was heading.

“So, you want some hands on time is what you’re saying? With MY client of all people? What if I refuse? What if I say it’s a bad idea? I put this run for Jason together, not you and now it seems to me like you want to take over the work that I’VE put in over the past few months!”

Again the voice told what was being requested and how and exactly when. She listened as she repositioned herself in her seat, cuffing the phone between her jaw & shoulder, freeing her hands as she poured herself a drink from the mini bar in the back of the luxurious vehicle. Taking a long sip she waited her turn again and seemingly with a change in her tone, almost of defeat, she responded…

“I… I suppose that can’t hurt… I just…. I’ve been trying soooo hard and…”

Just like before, her words are cut short by the other voice, reassuring her that all would be well if she just followed instructions being given. Then, noticing through her peripheral vision, Jason’s arrival into the parking area of the arena, she knew she’d need to end this call now before he found his way into their transport for the night. Speaking into the phone..

“Ok. Look, he’s coming, so I have to go now. I’ll call you later when we’re situated… Yes, I’ll make sure he’s there, don’t worry…”

Another small pause then…

“I love you too, bye.”

She quickly hung up the phone, placing it beside her on the seat as she got back comfortable in the seat. Seconds later the door was opened to a smiling Jason Youngblood, show casing not only the TNB Undisputed title, but also half of the TNB Tag Team titles. She greeted him with a smile as well as a feigned applause for the man’s accomplishments, not only tonight but also those as a member of Money Maker Inc over the past few weeks. He stood there in disbelief himself, holding a title in each hand as she spoke the words..

"Enjoying the abundance of success that I promised and you're now seeing come to fruition, Jason? I'd hate to tell you I told you so but..."

[Jason Youngblood]

"... You told me so, and you showed me oh so well after you told me so. This? Is the life Gen, this is the life.."

Climbing into the back of the limo along with the mystery muscle man, Jason was all smiles. One of the more successful runs any one in recent TNB has seen he knew. He was the Undisputed champion and now one half of the tag team champions with Shawn. Money Maker Inc was calling the shots, kicking ass and erasing names, and life couldn't be better.

They trio got situated and the limo started up slowly like it always did. Jason sunk down into the seat, his head tilted back as he relaxed and spoke his piece on the recent business of Money Maker Inc.

"This is what a stable is supposed to do. Set the tone. Ensure that the business has a better future than the present. And most of all, grab all of the trophies and all of the revenue that comes in, so that anybody that opposes suffocates & starves before they even know what hit em. What we all put together with Money Maker Inc is legendary. It's almost epic when you think about it. The pieces all fell together perfectly and everyone played their parts as well as anybody could ask..."

"You surprised me with your acting skills too Generra. I mean... I think back to some of those 3 way interviews with Williams & Cage and you almost had me fooled alot of the time. And that bit with Shawn after he was "asking" me to rejoin the group? Priceless. All the while the group already existed... Just outside of visual for everyone not included in our plans. That's just beautiful..."

"But the Oscar i say.... Has to go to Genesis above all else. People really believed he was done with Money Maker Inc. I mean really... What man embodies what we stand for more than him? And they really thought he wasn't an essential piece to make it all work? That shows you what we're up against. I think about it sometimes and I almost feel sorry for TNB... Almost... Ha Ha."

[Generra]

Generra smiled, still holding the glass in her grasp as she responded kindly with...

"It's been my pleasure to be on this ride along with you Jason. You have no idea how much. It was in fact amazing how we pulled it off. Quite amazing I must say myself. Why if the cards weren't all in the right place at the correct time it couldn't have possibly worked out the way it has thus far."

"God I'm good. Hmmpf. Who am I kidding? I'm fucking great. Pardon the french of course."

[Jason Youngblood]

"No need for the pardon. You said it just right baby. Just right. Fucking great!"

Jason too reached for the mini bar area and poured himself a drink real quick before leaning back in his seat looking across the mystery muscle man and smiling a bit.

"You don't talk much do you? Or like ever?"

Not a word nor a hint of a bit of care for what Jason said to him. He just sat there looking at Jason behind his dark sunglasses with a toothpick in his mouth. The guy was just so huge that Jason thought he probably could get in the ring and do some damage himself. He also wondered a lot of times how the 2 of them ever even hooked up as boss & client if that's what you wanna call it. They didn't look like they could be old college buddies or anything you know? Jason looked to Generra playfully speaking...

"He doesn't like me that much does he?"

Generra only smiled playfully shrugging her shoulders before Jason chimed in again.

"Whatever. So what do we got planned for the night people? Lucy's busy with the other Money Maker Inc. gals so I'm free. I'm thinking a night out on the town or something. I could use a few stiff drinks too. Should call Gen, Sylas & the other boys & see if they're up for it if you 2 flake out on me. Hm...So you 2 game?"

Jason was smiling from ear to ear enjoying this most recent run of success more than anyone could ever know. He waited for a response from either of them, though he knew Tommy wouldn't say a word. Dude never did no matter what.

[Generra]

Generra didn’t smile in Jason’s direction this time around. No… Her face showed that of a especial seriousness as she relayed the newest piece of development in her work with creating and cementing the Sin-Sation of TNB.

“Jason…. There’s someone I want you to meet with… Soon…”

Suddenly a hint of laughter could be heard from Generra’s mystery muscle man seated beside her. Generra looked to the man with a serious demeanor before shaking her head as if asking why she put up with him at all. Looking back to Jason who was waiting with open wide eyes, she continued on…

“We’ve done great work Jason. That can’t be denied, but I also feel there are a few more tools of the trade you could stand to learn along the way. I can only teach you so much not being an in ring competitor myself so… I believe this person could assist in providing with a much needed edge. Or… He seems to think so. He requested you meet with him a few days before the Revolution Pay Per View, and I informed him that would indeed be possible and that you’d be there definitely. I know it doesn’t sound like fun or you may think you’re not in need of any more assistance being both the Undisputed champion and Tag Team champion but…I assure you… You’ll be glad you did. So I need you to do this for me, ok?”

[Jason Youngblood]

Jason was kind of taken aback from Generra’s request to meet with someone who could help him. He clearly had gotten to the point where he was becoming more cocky about his abilities than he’d ever been. Undisputed champion and Tag Team champion in less than the span of a month? It was nearly all of his wrestling dreams accomplished in no time at all.

He kind of chuckled at the request and pulled both title belts close to him as he stared out the limo windows enjoying the scene and the ride itself. He looked back to Generra a few seconds later, smiling of course and responded to her.

“Look, I appreciate everything you’ve done Generra. I really do. I even appreciate all that you’re doing now that I’m at the top of the wrestling business. But what makes you think I need anyones help? Only help I need is Money Maker Incorporated. And if this guy isn’t in the crew then why even bother? What’s he know about wrestling or being a champion or at the top of the wrestling world, that he has the balls to think he can help me?”

Again the mystery muscle man chuckled, this time almost uncontrollably. He sat there with his phone in his hand seemingly texting someone and laughing all the while. For a split second he looked up and smiled brightly at Jason, from behind his own dark sunglasses, the black Toronto Blue Jay's hat covering his face even more.

Jason stared at him thinking his timing of laughs was strange to say the least. Generra however didn’t flinch and kept her eyes locked on Jason. He looked to her and..

“What’s he think is so funny? Am I missing something?”

She didn’t answer, just let out a long sigh and leaned back in her seat. He continued on with…

“If this guy has no credentials to talk to me about being on top then I don’t think I’m gonna be able to make it Gen. Tell him I was busy being the best the business has to offer right now. I’ll take a rain check. I got better things to do.”

[Generra]

With a raised eyebrow she retorted...

"He'd find that statement more than offensive, Jason..."

She only shook her head in disbelief. She had a feeling that his ego perhaps had grown too much to even accept that he could in fact, get better than he was right this moment. She had to pry and push on as such a meeting, could lead to potential tutelage, which could also lead to an even greater increase of success. She knew this to be fact, even if she'd rather gain all of the credit herself over the mystery man from the phone call earlier.

"Jason, where there's an abundance of knowledge available, from legitimate sources, one cannot afford to just simply brush them off as unnecessary. I assure you, he's someone you would find yourself very comfortable with taking career advice from. If he wasn't I wouldn't even bother bringing it up. He only asked for an hour of your time which is not much at all. Consider it at least. If not for yourself, then do it as a favor for me."

[Jason Youngblood]

Jason definitely didn't want to do it but could see in Generra's eyes that it was something she at least thought was dire and beneficial. He just looked out of the window of the limo before looking back across to Generra & Tommy. He didn't know what this meeting hold but figured he'd give it a chance... This time.

"Alright. One hour. But that's it. Anything else longer than that I don't have time for. And what this guy has for me better be good too. Who's this guy anyway? Anyone I heard of?"

[Generra]

Finally he had agreed. Reluctantly but still, he agreed.

"Thank god. You won't regret this Jason, I promise. He can help us in ways you couldn't believe. If only you knew, he already has on several occasions at the beginning of our business relationship. And I'm sure he will even more in the future years to come if things work out the way we wish.."

She pauses, realizing he asked of the man's identity. She responded with...

"I'm sure you'll recognize him Jason. No doubt about that. And then you'll see he has more than alot of wisdom to share with you. I advise to listen and soak up as much as you possibly can for this meeting... Knowing him there won't be another. And if so, not many... You'll be taken care of while you're there too. Tommy will go along with you I'm sure...?"

She looked to her side seeing Tommy nodding his head to her with a grin on his face. Looking back to Jason...

"I'm not surprised at that. You'll all be treated like royalty while there so I expect for you to be on your best behavior and respectful as well...."

"Oh..."

"And be sure to be courteous to the others there as well... They can sometimes be a rowdy and verbally vicious group so.. Tread lightly with that mouth of yours. Trust me. Now... We can talk about celebrating tonight. The night is on me so, let's have some down time shall we?"
