*Jay Davis is seen in his locker room, doing Push-ups as Dave Turner come into his room. He looks down at Jay, as he continues to do Push-ups. Jay realises that Turner is in front of him and jumps up to his feet.*

“Hey, Turner. Thought you’d be fluffing off your trophies and give a stern talk to Angel. Like almost every show.”

“Jay, don’t even be like that. You know as GM of Genesis, it is my job to take care of any and all problems on Genesis. Angel was a setback of sorts, but it’s his choice to be where he is now.”

“That’s not what I mean! I mean….you never have time to train with me. Hell, you never have time to actually talk to me.”

“Well, I’m here now.”

“Why are you here anyway?”

“I just want to say good luck in your match against Elijah Stewart. He’s a pure wrestler no doubt about it, but you are an athlete! You are a prototype for the next generation of wrestlers. You are one of my accolades.”

“That’s what I always am to you! An accolade! Like one of your championships.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“No, I think I get it perfectly. You just use me to get your name out to the public because you can’t get back in the ring. And now, I’m like a copy of you!”

“No, Jay. It’s not like that. If it was, I wouldn’t have spent all those weeks, endless days, training you! To become the best you can be! I’m not doing this to benefit me. Believe me, if I could, I’d jump back in the ring. But….there’s no way I can go back.”

“And that’s why you use me. You use me to get where you are now. My name shadows your name because that’s what I am. I’m your shadow!”

*Jay then holds in what he was gonna say, getting his bag as Turner stands in the doorway. Jay then walks to the door, seeing Turner in the way.*

“Move…”

“Jay, you know I’d never use you for my own good. You just have to listen to me.”

“Oh because listening to you was such a good idea, to begin with!”

“What’s that suppose to mean?”

*Jay then pushes against Turner, walking out of the room, Turner looking down the hallway, as the scene goes darker until the screen's black.*
