We open up on a shot of Steve Awesome holding his daughter with her head resting on his shoulder as he pats her back. She had just been fed and now he was waiting for the burp that comes with it. While he pats gently he mindlessly flips through the channels on the television. Nothing really seems to catch his eye until he comes across one of those flashy TMZ shows with a picture of himself in the upper corner. Two anchor people sit at a desk and talk.
Bill: Former pro-wrestler Steve “Awesome” Bates has made the jump to Hollywood.
Gloria: And he’s doing exceptionally well.
Bill: That’s right Gloria. Steve will be co-starring with Leonardo Dicaprio in an upcoming movie. That’s coming out in theatres soon.
Gloria: Not to mention Bill, a slew of movies and projects in the works for the former two time world champion and Hall of Famer.
Bill: He’s transitioned so seamlessly into the world of movies and entertainment from the sport of professional wrestling, I really think he’s found a new niche here in Hollywood.
Gloria: But I have to admit, I am excited to see him wrestle Trent Helms at Cross Roads this Sunday.
Bill: Answer me this Gloria…..why is Steve even going back to wrestling? What does he gain from it all? Odds are he’s making way more with movies then he did as a wrestler, even as champ. Why would he risk his health and body for pro wrestling?
Steve gazed at the television, completely enamored by what was being said.
Gloria: I don’t know….but as a fan I’m sure glad I’ll get to watch him again.
He keeps patting his daughter but in his mind he’s trying to figure out the answers to those question.
Bill: Up next…..We tell you who is gay in N.C.W……the answer…..everyone…
Awesome cuts the T.V off right then in there and that’s when he notices Mandi’s reflection staring back at him in the TV screen. She has a concerned look on her face. Perhaps she had been watching the same thing Steve had been watching, or maybe she pondered those questions before tv even thought of it.
“You don’t have to do it.”
She walks all the way into the room.
“I’m contractually obligated.”
She sits down next to him.
“You didn’t have to sign it. You have it good now….WE…..have it good now. And we have all this without you putting your body on the line every night. What more do you have to prove to yourself?”
Steve just smiles at his fiancé and shrugs his free shoulder.
“Nothing. But this time Mandi….I’m not doing this for me.”
“Then who?”
He finally gets a decent sized burp out of his daughter. Seven out of ten in baby burp ratings. He smiles at her and sets her down on the sofa next to him and she falls asleep. He turns back and looks at Mandi.
“…an old friend.”
We open to Steve Awesome staring in front of his camera holding his left wrist with his right hand. He stands there and stares at it, remembering how close Trent Helms came to destroying it on Collision.
“You should have done it, Trent.”
He tightens his grip on his wrist. The one that was spared decimation by someone who didn’t get the same mercy.
“I’m sure I deserve it. I’m sure I got a lot of bad karma still coming my way for all the totally ****ed up stuff that I’ve done in my life. My career. Too the people I was supposed to “care” about. I know it….”
He looks up into the camera.
“I’ve made a few bad decisions.”
“Some things I can’t take back or change. Things that I wish I could have done differently. Kind of the point of the theme song, You know, “regret’s I’ve got mine” , and all that. I’m sure something like a nice shattered wrist would account for some of what the world has coming to me. If I were you, I would have done it. But you didn’t do it……..
He grabs his wrist again.
“…and you know what?”
He looks back up at the camera.
“That makes you better then me.”
He lowers his head.
“You always have been Trent. I knew it all the way back in 2008. That’s why I did what I did. That’s why I shattered your wrist, that’s why I had to steal the world championship, that’s why I stole years off of your career and forced you to sit on the shelf. I stole the spotlight and a career that very well could have belonged to you. This hall of fame ring, these accolades, this fame. I did it because I knew you were better then me. And I know I can’t take it back and I know it probably won’t change anything Trent but…..truly….from the bottom of my heart…for whatever it’s worth…..”
He steps forward, pulls off the sunglasses and stares into the camera.
“I’m. Sorry.”
He stares whole heartedly.
“But I won’t let you end me This Sunday. I have too much to live for. And I’m not talking about movies or my new acting career….I’m talking about my new family. I’m talking about my daughter and fiancé. They deserve to have me in there lives. And I won’t let anyone take that away from them. And besides Trent…..you can’t end me. The thing is Trent…..you need me. You may claim to be immortal, and from what I’ve seen you pretty much are…..but I make you that way.
Think about it Trent.
The best things you’ve ever done in this company involved me. Everything else you just gave up on or half assed because you didn’t care. But with me involved…..THAT’S when you become the real Trent. THAT’S when you become immortal. And I think a part of me becomes better too when I’m involved with you Trent. Everyone has there arch nemesis. Batman had The Joker. And I have you.
“If you end me at Cross Roads this Sunday then your dooming yourself to a life of complacency. It will be the only spot Trent Helms can’t get up from. If you end me at Cross Roads…..your basically ending yourself.
Face it Trent…..
He slides the sunglasses up on his face.
“….we complete each other.”
He smirks.
“No homo.”
He throws them up.
“Deuces.”
