American Tommy is seen leaning against the wall in the lobby of the Des Lux Hotel, in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa with his bags at his feet. He looks to be in comfortable clothing as he’s wearing slacks and a AWE hoodie. His attention is occupied between his phone and outside the entrance doors. A black Cadillac pulls up and American Tommy heads outside and hops in the vehicle.
DRIVER: 833 5th Ave?
American Tommy glances up in the rear-view mirror and nods his head.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Yes, thanks.
American Tommy notices a song on the radio that he likes and smiles.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Can you turn the song up, mate?
The driver reaches for the knob and turns up the radio a few notches and the song can clearly be heard. It’s “Eraser” by Ed Sheeran.
The driver looks back at American Tommy who glances up from his phone to catch the man’s eyes gaze. The man is smiling ear to ear and points up at American Tommy.
DRIVER: I know who you are! You are American Tommy! I’m a huge fa….
American Tommy raises his hand and stops the driver from talking and moans.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Harry Potter!
The driver realizes his mistake and raises his hand up in a form of an apology. American Tommy smiles and nods his head.
DRIVER: I’m a huge fan, man. Is it true that you are actually wrestling Kimitsu Zombie tonight?
AMERICAN TOMMY: Yes.
The driver looks sad and shakes his head.
DRIVER: You are not a wrestler though.
AMERICAN TOMMY; That is exactly the reason why I decided to throw my name into the ring. Nobody should tell anybody that they can’t do something or are not something. The ceiling is the roof, mate.
DRIVER: What?
AMERICAN TOMMY: If it was a good enough analogy for Michael Jordan to use than it was good enough for me to use, boy.
American Tommy glances back down at the phone leaving an awkward silence in the car. Only the music can be heard with slow breaths being taken between the two men.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Honestly?
DRIVER: Of course, man. I think everybody wants to know. You’ve been a manager for 8 years. A mouth piece. Why now?
AMERICAN TOMMY: I’m simply tired of being a dog that is known for having a strong bark, but no bite. With Sinister Minister being hurt there was nobody there to be the bite to my bark. It's become a bark that has lost a little venom without Sinister Minister there. I know what the fellow members of AWE think of Harry Potter and it’s time that I change that perception.
American Tommy scratches his beard.
AMERICAN TOMMY: You know the thing is? AWE needs a hero; an actual hero to save it from the mediocrity it has become without me in the ring.
The driver of the car shoots American Tommy a crazed look. American Tommy doesn’t pay any attention.
AMERICAN TOMMY: I’m ready to be that hero for muggles everywhere again. I already saved the entire world from Lord Voldemort taking it over so I sure as hell can save the state of AWE. I’ve been training with Dom Lawson for the last month and I’m ready. My first match is against YoYo Banzai so I’m pretty sure I trained longer than I actually needed to. Two weeks would have been sufficient, but I wanted to make sure I was ready! I've got the looks. I’ve got the tats. I’m Shakespeare on the microphone and now I’ve got one month of training under my belt. I’m a born WINNER. If Benny Stevens can be a wrestler than why can’t Harry Potter?
I’m going to show everybody why they shouldn’t be worried about just my words anymore. I’m going to start beating people with my fists and sometimes with my feet. Not only will I give the fans a reason to come with the news, but they will now come to watch my wrestle. I learned this thing from Dom the other day...I think he called it a hip toss. So fucking brutal. Probably gonna end some careers with it.
Sinister Minister lost every match in AWE because he a straight bitch. I’m not no bitch like him, buddy. I will not only defeat YoYo tonight, but in the near future I’m going to wrestle Bindy. I heard she let’s you touch her butt when she moonsaults and I’m all for that.
DRIVER: I get the Bindy thing, but why choose someone you’ve been pining over forever for your first match? Why, Kimitsu Zombie?
American Tommy flashes his pearly whites and winks at the driver.
AMERICAN TOMMY: I have her attention now. Don’t I?
The driver pulls up to the convention center and American Tommy hands him a tip. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ticket to the show and hands it to the lad as well.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Enjoy.
American Tommy grabs his bags and hops out of the vehicle. The driver reaches out to shake Tommy’s hand. American Tommy obliges and shakes it. He turns around and looks at the convention center.
AMERICAN TOMMY: Your hero has arrived, AWE. I better not have to share a dressing room with Benny Stevens!
American Tommy puts his headphones in and walks towards the building bobbing his head.

*I think life has got to the point, I know without it's no fun
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
Instead I look in the mirror, questioning what I've become*

*And ain't nobody want to see you down in the dumps
Because you're living your dream and this should be fun
Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm reverend run
I beg you don't be disappointed with the man I've become.*

*I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me
But with that said give me one more
I am another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own so here I'll stay*
