Almost five months ago, TJ was wrestling for a company by the name of PWA. He made his debut on the first of the year. He found himself fighting with a fellow new comer to PWA over who would get a title shot at the Interbrand title. In February, he faced that man for the title shot and won in his home town of Philadelphia. TJ then went out to celebrate and ended up finding a protege. The following is footage what happened as it was filmed by PWA camera.
Following a big win in his hometown, TJ decided to let his responsibilities go away for a night of enjoyment. We open the scene in Center City Philadelphia, where we see a long line of people standing outside of Club 27, a dance club. People are talking with each other about the night of fun they are going have. Out of nowhere we hear the sound of a engine from a few blocks away. Everyone, including the bouncer, turn to look who is coming. Then, coming around the corner we see a red Lambo come around the corner. Behind that one is another Lambo, this one is black and behind that one, a blue one. All three pull up in a line. The blue one’s door opens first and out steps Trey Gings, Raj steps out of the black Lambo. They walk over to the red Lambo, move everyone out of the way and the door swings up and out walks TJ, wearing a black suit. The line goes crazy, even if he is a pro wrestler, he’s still a celeb in Philly. He walks up to the bouncer.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Hey, buddy, I believe I made a reservation, TJ party of……He takes his time counting the ladies in the line 25.
Bouncer: Go ahead.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Thanks……ah, your name?
Bouncer: Travis.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Travis.
TJ, Trey, Raj, and the girls all go through the door and head straight to the VIP section. The last time TJ was here, was several years ago, celebrating a win after a ECF title win. Its surreal for TJ to be here, celebrating a regular win. As Trey, Raj, and some of TJ friends that are already there all entertain the girls, TJ sits down on one of the couches and thinks to himself.
The Mind of TJ: Crazy...Man, I love Philly. Only here can I feel at home, relaxed, and just me.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Yo, Ernie! Over here!
TJ spots his old trainer in the VIP section. Ernie walks over to TJ, who stands and hugs his mentor.
Ernie: Hey kid, how are ya?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: I’ve been worse Ern. How’s the school going?
Ernie: Ah, god, TJ, look, I’m not asking for help, but it’s in bad shape.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: What do you mean?
Ernie: Well, we got two of the best wrestling schools in the US in Philly, so my lil’ school is just overshadowed.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: What do you need?
Ernie: Someone like you.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Huh?
Ernie: Well, I remember when you and Mark were my top students, you guys both made people come out weekly to watch just you two go at it, and everyone else got cheered for.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: So, you’re asking me to find you people to join your school?
Ernie: Yea.
Raj and Trey walk over to TJ and Ernie.
Ernie: Hey boys.
Roger “Raj” Gings: Hey Ernie. How’s life?
Ernie: It’s been worse, but like I was telling TJ, I need new talent.
Trey Gings: Don’t look at me, I tried this shit before, I’m better for the rap game.
Roger “Raj” Gings: Shut up about this already.
Trey Gings: You mad ain’t you bro?
Roger “Raj” Gings: What? That you can rap like Marky Mark?
Trey Gings: You lucky we in 27 and not the Rox, otherwise we’d start brawling.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Ah shut up you two. Look, Ernie, I’ll just give you these two and let them fight each other, they’ll do it for free.
Ernie: Very nice of you, but TJ, I need someone that will draw in people.
Roger “Raj” Gings: Hey, that bouncer reminded me of you.
Trey Gings: You, big, dumb, strong. That’s about TJ.
TJ picks Trey up by his shirt.
Trey Gings: HEY! MY GUCCI SWAG! YOU’RE FUCKING WITH IT!
TJ lets go of Trey, Trey walks away.
Roger “Raj” Gings: How we going to convince him?
Ernie: TJ, just go over talk to him. You are The Soul of Philly after all, you can talk that guy into it.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Alright. If you ever need something, don’t be afraid of asking Ern, you’ve done a lot for me, if it wasn’t for you, I’d still be behind bars.
Ernie: Don’t mention it.
As the night goes on, TJ celebrates with his own people. Dancing, drinking, talking, name it, TJ is doing what most celebs won’t do: mingle with the “normal” people.
Patron 1: OH MY GOD! I WAS THERE TJ! DUDE WHEN YOU BEAT BLAZE! MADE MY NIGHT! I DIDN’T BUY THE TICKET FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN YOU!
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Thanks. Man.
Patron 2: TJ! You’re sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot. Do you have a girl friend?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: No.
Patron 2: Well than, my boyfriend is out of town for the weekend, if you want to get together and you could put me in some of those moves of yours.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Ah…..boyfriend?
Patron 2: Its fine, he’s cheating on me right now.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Sorry, no.
Patron 3: Hey, you gonna beat that piece of New York shit, Appice?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: If that is a serious question, you are a fool, of course I am.
Patron 3: When are you gonna take that title off of him? Tired of seeing some fucktard from New York with a championship.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Don’t we all? I don’t know but when I find out, everyone will find out. I will take the title off, and I’ll come right back here and we’ll throw an even bigger party.
TJ continues these talks throughout the night. Around 4 o’clock, the club starts to empty out. Girls kiss TJ and thank him for making the night one to remember. Trey and Raj each leave with some girls. Eventually TJ is the last one in the club.
Travis: Hey man, I know you’re famous and shit, but ya gotta go.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: I know, I’m just taking it in.
Travis: They hell are you talking about?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Talking about life Trav. Have you ever thought about your life?
Travis: What do you mean? I’m only 26.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: So? I’m only 29, I still think about what I am going to do with my life.
Travis: You’re famous. You don’t need to worry about that.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: But you do know why I’m famous right Travis.
Travis: No, but you’re gonna tell me, whether I want to know or not.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: I’m a pro wrestler, the wrong fall could be the end of my life.
Travis: Cool, come on man, get out, I don’t want to throw you out.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: I’m leaving. Hey, take this and any time you start to think of your life and where you wanna go with it, let me know.
TJ hands Travis a card. The card is for Ernie’s school.
Travis: You’re telling me I should be a wrestler, but you worry about dying?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Hey, I’m telling you, you’ll make it big, you’ll be better than just a bouncer. I mean, look at me, I use to bounce.
Travis: Really?
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Yea, I use to bounce here. Let me know if you want to learn how to wrestle.
TJ pats Travis on the back and leaves the club, where Ken, his friend and butler, is waiting for him.
Kenny Hunter: TJ, how was the night.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Good, I think I found my protégé….
Just then, the doors swing open and out comes Travis.
Travis: TJ, I thought about my life and I want to wrestle.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Good. TJ takes out a piece of paper and writes on it Here, meet me here on Wednesday, 10 in the morning.
Travis: Will do.
Travis goes back in as TJ and Kenny get in TJ’s Dodge Avenger. TJ takes his out his phone and goes down Ernie on his contact list.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Hey, you got a new student, Wednesday, I’ll be there around 6 in the morning. See you.
TJ hangs up the phone and puts his phone his jacket pocket.
"The Soul of Philly" TJ: Kenny, this kids gonna be good. Now, let’s go home man.
Kenny turns the engine on and they drive off into the early morning
