Hey hey RJ you need to be careful with what you say live on air, these words could be held against you in court of law.
FLASHBACK
(08/31/19)
We get footage of Tyke Index arriving at the arena last night, Tyke Index spots Jen Vallejos and RJ Smith chatting to each other and joins the pair of them.
Tyke Index
What’s happening Jen, seen Skrabz anywhere?
Jen Vallejos
No, I haven’t seen him since last week.
Tyke Index
C’mon Jen, we’re all friends here. I know you know where Skrabz is. I just over heard you mention to RJ that you already have your hotel room booked for the night of September 15th, you guys planning a celebration? You wouldn’t be planning a celebration in preparation of Skrabz defeating Tyke Index would you Jen? You know that would hurt my feelings, right?
Jen Vallejos
I don’t know what you’re talking about or what you think you have over heard but you have heard wrong.
Tyke Index
Oh, so you’re calling me a liar now?
RJ Smith
Jen isn’t calling you anything.
Tyke Index
Who invited you? Who even asked you?
RJ Smith
Actually, Jen and I were having a conversation before you interrupted.
Tyke Index
Oh, I interrupted did I? I thought we were friends…
Jen realizes that the situation is beginning to get out of hand and interjects trying to calm things down with a change of subject.
Jen Vallejos
Well, since you are here Tyke, whats your thoughts on your match tomorrow night with "The Queen of Kings’ Erin Blue? Do you think you have maybe overlooked Blue with your championship versus championship match with Skrabz just around the corner?
Tyke doesn’t respond, he just stares at Jen. Slowly Tyke's eyes begin to go red with rage, he then starts to laugh maniacally before holding his head, almost like he is about to have a mental breakdown. Tyke then out of nowhere throws Jen to the ground and hits her with a vicious Coke Mountain!!! Jen's head bounces off the ground grotesquely as wrestlers scramble from the dressing room. Police officers detain Tyke Index, and put him into the Police car.
BACKSTAGE
Camera pans up and we are now in the backstage area of the ring where there is a court set up. There is a huge table at the far left of the area with a judge standing behind it, facing the huge table and judge is another two tables with a space between them. One table has a sign which reads “defendant”, next to that there is a label which reads the names who will be sitting at the table. Tyke Index name is labelled on the right hand side and to the left of that is his lawyer Aloysius Marcus Vance IV, Aloysius is already sitting down at the table. On the opposite table we can see Jen Vallejos and her lawyer sitting beside her.
Ray Hudson
Yes, this is really happening...
There are two further tables behind that of the ones which the defendants and prosecutors will sit at, there we can see Mile High Wrestling owner Robert Mack already sitting at one table, beside Robert is RJ Smith one of the main witnesses. On the opposite table is Tyke Index old business advisor Harvey Goodfellows who is defending the character of his former client, next to him is Lance Mikes who claims Tyke spent the night hanging out with him.
Ray Hudson
I'm surprised to see Lance Mikes here.
“Jubel” by Klingande begins playing as Tyke Index makes his way to the court dressed in a ridiculous pinstriped yellow and red suit, he looks like he is going to a casino or brothel rather than a court trial.
Ray Hudson
Oh dear lord, what is Tyke Index wearing? I don’t think I have ever in the history of court cases seen someone enter court to entrance music.
Tyke Index enters court and walks past Robert Mack and RJ Smith, Jen screams “thug” from across the courtroom at Tyke as he just laughs and takes his seat, Jen's lawyer tries to calm her down. Aloysius Marcus Vance shows Tyke some notes, Tyke sniggers before Lord Lopez begins proceedings:
Lord Lopez
We are here today to debate the case of Tyke Index, the alleged is up for three different counts of felony. Count one: assaulting a female member of Mile High staff Jen Vallejos, count two: causing breach of the peace backstage at a public wrestling event and count three: objecting against police detainment in a forceful manner.
There is a brief pause as you can hear the live fans start to chant: “You deserve it”.
Lord Lopez
Aloysius Marcus Vance IV, do you swear that your opening statement you are about to give before this committee is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Aloysius Marcus Vance IV
I do.
Lord Lopez
Please proceed.
Aloysius Marcus Vance IV
Disrespect is an ugly thing, ladies and gentlemen. And so are insults and slander. When a person is confronted by such things, their reactions can understandably become a bit extreme. Where it comes to sensitive souls like my client, well...
AMV4 gives a knowing look to Tyke, before turning back to the court. Vance speaks calmly and evenly, moving and gesturing only to emphasize his point. Some, perhaps, were expecting a grander, more comical opening statement but... this is not the AMV4 that's common at ThrowDown or on social media. Not by a sight.
Aloysius Marcus Vance IV
...they are quite simply unused to such abuse. Tyke Index is a man who has to fight to earn everything that he has. Despite his typical bluster and hyperbole, this is not a person who has been handed anything, least of all respect. And the man they call Skrabz has been a detriment to the success of Mr. Index's career from the get-go. Under an undue amount of stress and pressure, partially instigated by the aforementioned Skrabz and, for her part, Jen Vallejos herself, Tyke fell under the sway of temporary insanity and acted in a manner far outside of his character. All Miss Vallejos had to do was answer a simple question but instead she responded evasively and implied quite plainly that Mr. Index was incorrect in the reputable information that he came to her with. Thus, I put forth that Mr. Index was unfairly instigated into action and that this case should be dismissed.
AMV4 sits back down in his box, Tyke lets out a small noticeable grin.
Lord Lopez
I would now like to introduce on behalf of the prosecutor, the lawyer of Jen Vallejos, Mr. Rowntree.
Mr Rowntree stands up and takes the oath before Lord Lopez asks Rowntree to state the case of prosecutor.
Mr. Rowntree
On August 31st an abuse of power took place, a miscarriage of justice, a young woman came to work and found herself in a vulnerable position, a position placed on her from Mr. Tyke Index. On the surface an attack of this intent is terrible enough, but given that this happened in a place of work, it is absolutely untenable that Mr. Index should escape a prison sentence. Firstly for stamping on Mrs. Vallejos head, secondly for the physical scars left on the skull of Ms. Vallejos but lastly for the mental and physical trauma Jen has suffered since.
Lord Lopez
Ms. Vallejos is it true that you have struggled to sleep and have had re occuring nightmares since August 31st?
Jen Vallejos
Yes, that is correct.
Lord Lopez
Would you say that these are caused by the trauma of the events of August 31st?
Jen
