*We open to see Curtis D. Kanyon standing behind a podium.*
Curtis: We are gathered here today, in front of the Lawrd-uh! In front of the wurld-uh! And we gathered to praise him-uh! For He is mighty, He is awesome, and He is good! Can I get an amen-uh!
*Silence. The camera pulls out to reveal an empty church.*
Curtis: Sorry, always wanted to do that. Well, always as in since I got here and saw it was empty. But if I can be serious for a moment. We are here to praise Him for giving me the opportunity to face Adam and Jack on a grand stage, vying for the prestigious National Championship. To have that belt would be amazing. To give up the glory with the spotlight that would bring! Just think of it. And to be included in a group of amazing wrestlers that have held that belt before. Falcon, Venom, Charlie Velez, Ricky Johnson, Joe Everyman, and of course, my good friend, Adam Knite. Boy howdy, what a cast to be grouped into. But let's face it, we all know I'm better than all those guys.
*Curtis gives a light chuckle and walks away from the podium.*
Curtis: I truly believe I've been granted this match due to my new found enlightenment. You see, He gives not just life, but He gives it more abundantly should you have faith in Him. I have been blessed, I have heard His word, straight from Him, and I have followed His mission for me. It lead me to this National title match. I didn't have to chase down Adam for weeks, I didn't have to take Jackhammer out and take his spot. Adam came to me, and soon, so will his belt. Don't get me wrong, I won't be given it, I know I have to work for it. I've been handed the opportunity to win it, now the ball is in my court, I need to take it, and I need to slam dunk on my own, under His guidance. I'd like to take that National title and hold it up high for Him, but should that not be my path, it's not a total loss.
*Curtis cracks his knuckles.*
Curtis: You know how they say one step back to take two steps forward? I'm here to give both of you a beating, to take you to the brink of hopelessness, so that you can see that He is the way, that he will give you the abundance of a richer, better life. That I guarantee you will happen. The hurt and the pain will be brought. I am His warrior, and I will bring his vengeance onto both of you. Whether I win or lose, I will make you scream his name in this match. I will make you want to be closer to the Lord, to come down and save you. I will enlighten you as He has enlightened me. Then you will see Him and you will hear Him. His word is sharper than any sword, it cuts you through the soul. It will attack you way worse than I can. But I'll see just how close I can get.
*Curtis smirks as he cracks his knuckles.*
Curtis: Jackhammer, you sir are still crazy. Not as crazy as you used to be, but then neither am I. You still need to be enlightened. You're a big man, your words carry far. You make many appearances, you're very influential. You're the sausage king of Chicago! You must know this. Wouldn't it be better for you, for your soul, to fight for honor rather than your ego? I will show you how good it feels. I'll let you decide. When you're staring up at the lights after a vicious BANG!, you'll have time to contemplate your existence, and I hope for your sake, you get that vision. Jack, I believe that's why your here, that's your roll on this match. Because frankly, why else would you be? I'm sorry to say, but this is more of a fight between Adam and me, that's where the beef is. You just kind of...got in the middle. You will give a beating and you will surely take more. But is that the only reason you wish to be there, because if so it will be granted. But your place could mean so much more Jack. Let Him wash over you, become more than just a man who is "there."
*Curtis steps down from the stage and walks among the pews.*
Curtis: And as Jack is just "there," Adam, you are there for a purpose. You think you are there to defend your belt, but no, you are there to be saved. I attacked your sister yes, it was wrong of me to want to viciously maim a little girl, I get that and I apologize. But...she was kind of being a brat. And she was hurting your wife. Your wife! Sure, she's your sister, but when you said "I do" to Kelly, you became one flesh, one being, and to go against your own wife? That's just wrong too Adam. And two wrongs, they don't make a right. You hired me to protect her, and I failed when your sister attacked. So I abandoned your money and protected her to repay my debt, my one act of kindness. My one act of good out of a career of unadulterated evil. That small opening was all the Lord needed to get into my heart and tell me, directly tell me what to do. For this, I thank your wife. Why can you not see that?
*Curtis has a bewildered look upon his face.*
Curtis: Instead, you spout of how I wronged you by not doing what you tell me? You spit on our legacy. So beneath you. We are both former world champions Adam. We hold the second longest tag team title reign together. You may have had the most tag team title reigns, but let's face it, before you teamed with me, your other reigns were nothing to write home about. All your time as tag champion combined, barely beats out all of mine. So...did I really ride those coat tales? Frankly, it doesn't matter now. I'm not here to belittle you, I'm here to enlighten you. To raise you up!
*Curtis raises his arms in the air.*
Curtis: You and I Adam, we're cut from the same cloth. We are vicious and ambitious. And you make a pretty damn good cake. But the fact of the matter is, everything you do, you do for you. I did the same, but I've woken from my selfishness. I've seen the error of my ways, now I wish to help you too. To beat the faith into you. Not just for you, and certainly not for me, but for our children. For our future. One thing I've realized since I heard the Word, is that what we do, it affects the children. They learn and grow from our actions. Do you really want little Riley to grow up like the man you've become? To learn from your conniving and backstabbing? I don't want my kids to grow up being crazy and having split personalities. My boys will grow up with honor and an appreciation for hard work. They will see me spreading His word, and they will rejoice and believe. I will show you His way Adam, I will beat His way into you. Show you just how wonderful His light can be, by taking you into your own darkness.
*Curtis turns the lights off, shrouding the church with darkness.*
Curtis: Adam, Jack, I will beat you both down, for it's what I do best. Then I will open your eyes, because it is what He wants. What you do with that information is up to you. But I hope you both make the right choice. Bless you Jackhammer, bless you Adam, for you have sinned.
*Curtis leaves the church, slamming the door. The echo resonates through the room as the scene fades out.*
Curtis: We are gathered here today, in front of the Lawrd-uh! In front of the wurld-uh! And we gathered to praise him-uh! For He is mighty, He is awesome, and He is good! Can I get an amen-uh!
