Charleston, South Carolina is where I was born and raised. A city surrounded with history dating back as far as the Revolutionary War and even the Civil War. I respect history and I respect those who came before us to fight for what we have today. I am the same way in this business, guys like Adam Knite, Spike Kane, and Steve Awesome all have my respect for the things they've done before me. Now it is time that I take my stand, step into that NCW ring and show the world that I'm ready to take the torch. I am ready to be one of those guys now and I am ready for the challenge of my life. That challenge starts....NOW!
Brian Stevens is wearing a suit and sunglasses as he stands outside the NCW Headquarters. He's pacing back and forth as Berrick O'Murphy looks on with a confused look.
Berrick O'Murphy: Brian...you need to relax. This isn't the Kentucky Derby...you aren't preparing your horse to win the triple crown.
Brian Stevens: I am just really nervous, boss. That's all, I am getting set to officially sign my contract and just to know that I've got the chance to face off against Adam Knite. There are wrestlers out there that would kill for this opportunity.
Berrick O'Murphy: We are here, you just have to walk into those doors, sit with them, show them your tapes of your indy wrestling and wrestling school, give them your reference letters, and sign that contract. It is all in your head...nothing to it.
Brian places his head in his hands as he sits down on a bench outside the building. He signs in deeply as he stops for a moment looking at his feet. He clinches his fist and lets out a yell.
Berrick O'Murphy: What's wrong? Are you alright?
Brian Stevens: NO BS!!!! I can't believe this, O'Murphy!
Berrick O'Murphy: OH YEAH!?!?
Brian Stevens: No BLACK SHOES!!! UGH!!!
Berrick shakes his head in disappointment. He walks away was Brian begins to talk out loud.
Brian Stevens: There comes a time in a youngster's life where he's got to decide if he wants to man up and take on challenges that may seem beyond him or let the opportunities slip him by. My entire life my parents have expressed their disappointment in me. Even my successes in life...they would expect me to over achieve. I would fight for everything I could get, but it was never enough in their eyes. And now I am here...the greatest wrestling company in the world...and I'm worried about not having any black shoes. Cocky? Confident? There is a fine line between the two, but both are obvious. It is neither with me, I say I'm going to get it done and I do just that. Now, right now...I don't have black shoes on, but that's fine. I can't say that...well...I can't get this part of the deal done. I want to make this one thing to everybody here in NCW..top to bottom...management to the janitor...respect the past...FEAR the FUTURE!
A girl walks by and stops as she looks at Brian strangely.
Girl: Why are you talking to yourself? You look weird...
Brian looks at her, snickers as she walks on. Berrick reappears holding a pair of black dress shoes.
Berrick O'Murphy: We have....BS now! All kinds of BS!
Brian shakes head.
Brian Stevens: I guess you are right and I guess when I can't make it happen...I've got somebody else here who will help me.
Scene fades.
