It is 2:23 a.m. where Leonora is cutting publicity spots. She can still hear the World Series launch party overhead. Soon Marx will make a smooth exit to record an audition tape. For now, Leo has time to check the live feeds on her wall of monitors.
On the roof Boris plays on. Marx is taking starry eyed selfies with guests.
To camera six on the second floor. Three tipsy partiers are enjoying themselves on the nearly ready set of The Southpaw's Suitcase.
She switches to Frank's shop where he's hard at work on suits for future World Series episodes. He stops cutting fabric and looks up to wag a figure straight into the tiny camera.
Never spy on a man who can see between worlds and speak to the dead. In his eyes she notices the peace Marx says has been there since Frank started coming to see him fight more than a decade ago.
Now she’s checking on Sheldon Osborne. it is clear some members of BTE have changed more than others.
Before he spent most of his time looking up pandas on YouTube and spending company funds buying skyboxes for Holden Ross, Oz was a major player in the gangsters Disneyland of Vegas back home.
Before the divorce when Leo took his name, his balls, control of his organization and $744M.
It was a brilliant performance by a talented actress, a woman kept off stage and off camera not by cerebral palsy but by the prejudices of her home universe. It was the final act in the downfall of Sheldon Osborne.
But his first mistake had been trying to use Frank’s gift to get dirt on rivals.
Years before he was the host of Sucker Punch Live, Harvey Marx was a gifted boxer who refused to go down when Oz told him to. An honest fighter with real talent was a problem for Osborne's operation. So he made an offer. Retire from the ring and become the star of the Emerald City Television Network.
With his best years ahead of him Harvey Marx hung up his gloves and started wearing neon suits with glittery prize wheels on the back of the jacket.
To stay one step ahead in the game for Frank's future, he became all that Oz wanted him to be. Oz was pleased to think he had won so easily.
That is Harvey's true gift. At 400 lbs., he can be a commanding presence who can sell water to a fish and seem non-threatening enough to convince strangers he should punch them in the face on live television.
He is the perfect man for Miss Albright's challenge of building a star in a new universe. The World Series of Wrestling is the perfect vehicle.
Marx knows his audience and the other competitors easily recognize a fellow fighter, no matter what ring, dark parking garage, or universe he fought in. Sucker Punch Live has been well received. Housewives and hospital patients like watching wrestlers spill their guts on a couch and seeing frat boys play games and get clocked.
Marx has wasted no time throwing his weight around in business circles. He is the pitching for Kayfabe Airlines and promoting wrestling nonstop.
Thank God for that.
Traveling to another universe and making waves on TV have one thing in common: Both are expensive.
A few shots of contestants kissing canvas are spliced in before Leonora wraps up with a shot of Atticus the pig climbing on her wheelchair. Leo can already feel the ratings spike.
A voice comes over a speaker.
“I'm ready to shoot the audition video. On my way to the new set"
“That could be a problem. A few drunks wandered down there."
“I'll roll with it, Miss Albright. The Big Ticket does have a certain reputation.”
Leo can almost hear his smile as clearly as his Russian accent as the big man moves into view of a camera covering the stage door. He takes a deep breath and throws it open.
“Hello Judges!”
The voice that booms into the room is American and sounds like giant, happy money. Harlan Alexeiovich Markov is once again Harvey Marx.
“Harvey Marx here, and these people are the lucky winners of my video contest!
Why am I a wrestler? Because great entertainment is good for business and The Big Ticket is your man for both!”
