*We open on Curtis grilling in his backyard. His wife and baby sit poolside, as his elder son dives off the diving board. GQ and Obsidian sit at the lawn table near by.*
Curtis: Ah, I could definitely get used to this.
GQ: I can't believe it, are you really going to retire? I mean, you love to fight!
Curtis: I do, but I'm pretty well off. I mean, NCW will be paying me off long after they close due to my contract, so I don't need to do it anymore. My old bones ache. I mean, I don't want to be the next Gib, even though he's doing surprisingly well for his age.
Obsidian: Well, you have had an historic career, but how am I going to afford to get nachos?
GQ: I'm pretty sure you have enough nacho stock to last a lifetime.
Obsidian: Yeah.
Curtis: Guys, I'm just trying to enjoy life now. I've got two weeks left until retirement, I don't want to go crazy thinking about it, but every match I have betwix now and then, I'm planning to push myself harder than ever. This is my chance to bolster my already amazing legacy to nearly incredible heights. I'm already a former governor of Puerto Rico, former NCW CEO, One and one-eighth world heavyweight champion, five time world tag team champion, x-division, co-xtreme, European, U.S. champion, and a soon to be three time hall of famer. Not to mention all the guys I've beat, and all the guys I've injured, and I even made a mortal enemy for no reason other than I told him he's never been a world champion, which was and still is fact. I've beaten up my best friends, I've BANG!ed Zelda on at least three occasions, I've been schizo crazy twice, I cashed in my sack for a world title shot, I created a church in Thor's name, I beat the Superfans, I went on a panty raid, I put on a better TV show than Kelly, I may or may not have hired Brad Ksne to dress up as a ninja and injure Adam and keep that secret for over a year, and I turned Amber Ashe into a crack whore! Oh yeah, and I hired the first openly gay manager.
GQ: Oh really, wh--wait a minute! I AM NOT GAY!
Obsidian: C'mon man, we're practically out of here, just give it up already.
Curtis: My point is, I've done just about everything and more. I'm happy. I only got one thing left on my career bucket list, and The Ace is the only thing between me and accomplishing my goal.
GQ: High pressure here, huh?
Curtis: Yeah?
*Curtis's son Pedro walks over and pats his dad on the shoulder.*
Pedro: Don't worry pops, I believe in you and I know you're going to do great.
Curtis: Thanks kid. Look at you, all grown up and looking buff.
Pedro: Aw, c'mon dad.
Curtis: Burgers are almost ready, go get your mom and Pepito.
Pedro: Sure thing.
*Pedro walks off as Curtis watches him.*
GQ: Don't worry Curtis, I'm sure he's going to do great things.
Curtis: I know he will. It's in the blood.
*We cut to Curtis D. Kanyon sitting in his throne.*
Curtis: So it finally arrives. Thor has finally smiled upon me with favor. Two weeks left in this company, and I finally get my shot at the National title, held by the most dominant National champion I've ever seen, who just so happens to also be the man who nearly killed me last year at A Night to Remember. Isn't it glorious? The pressure is on. I've wanted a shot at the National title for nearly a year. I've been ducked time and again. I was even pushed toward other titles to try to get me off track, but it didn't work. I'm obsessed, and I know it! Oh trust me, I know it, but I don't care. I need it. And this is more than likely my last shot at it.
*Curtis smirks and gives a light chuckle.*
Curtis: You just can't understand. I don't just want this, I need it. I've been in every corner of this company and dominated. I've ruled every damn area...except this one. I ruled the tag team ranks, the x division, the world class. Hel! Even the corporate! But not the National scene. I ****ing drool over the thought of it. Seeing that title makes me salivate, and I need to feed the thirst. Every day that I've been pining for that belt and not held it, it's been scratching at the back of my brain. I haven't had it this bad in a long time. I haven't felt this aching longing feeling since right before the last time I snapped. Trust me when I say, you do not want to see me snap! But I will if I must. Ace saw it, he felt it, and it gave him the fight of his life.
*Curtis grabs at his hammer and hoists it up, looking at it.*
Curtis: Yes, I know, he survived and got the victory that day and yada yada. But that was a year ago, and that was when I was Kelly's muscle. Since then, I've found a higher purpose, and this time, Ace has something I want. And I would do anything...anything to get it. I am the dirtiest son of a bitch that ever stepped into the ring after all. But I do have to tow the line, since it's a normal match. I've heard the whispers, some say that because the match has rules, I'm at a disadvantage. To those fools I say, screw you! Also, I say go back, watch me win the world title. Because I did that under honor rules, the complete opposite of everything I believe in. but I had the drive, I had the heart and I had the will to win. My whole career has been based on defying everyone elses expectations, and I'm damn sure not about to stop!
*Curtis lowers the hammer and spins it in the palm of his hand.*
Curtis: The Ace, oh The Ace. Only guy I know who can make his first name "The" and make it work. Worked on the ladies a lot too. But I don't care about his track record with the chicas. Now, his track record since winning the National title, that's flipping amazing. I'm not joking around when I say he is the most dominant National champ I've ever seen, and by Thor, that bastard has earned it. But,the one catch is...he hasn't defended that title against me. He's taken on every challenger...except me. If he had, he wouldn't be champion, so it's smart, I get it, I got it, I totally understand why he would duck me. I'd hide from me too! But there is no more hiding. It's make or break time for The Ace, and I'm going to try to make sure it's a break. The Ace broke me a year ago because it was the only way to stop me. He broke me so bad he made me see Thor. Greatest thing that ever happened to me, and I thank The Ace for opening my eyes. I don't want to destroy him because he made me see Thor, I want to reward him, with an amazing battle that Thor would be more than proud of! That's what he wants. I want that National title not just for me, but also to glorify Thor's name! I want this battle to be of epic legend! Is that too much to ask? No! And you know why? Because I'm me!
*Curtis tosses the hammer and it clangs around on the floor.*
Curtis: This is a show. This is what I do. I make ratings. Every time I'm on that TV, the ratings go through the roof. Everyone knows that the end of a show gets crazy ratings as it is...but when I walk out that entry way, watch the numbers shoot up! When I'm in the ring, kicking The Ace's ass from pillar to post, watch the ratings climb up further and further! And watch...when I hoist that National title over my head how the ratings are the highest that they've ever been! Everyone loves the crazy guy, and they don't get crazier than me. I will punish and bruise and maim The Ace. I want Acey to do the same to me. I know how The Ace is, and he sees life as a grand game. He named himself after a game after all. Well I agree, life is a game, but I don't mind, because I break all the rules. I want Thor to be happy, and I want him to smile upon this match and truly love what we do in that ring. I want him to shower that ring with great moments for action. This may be the last Collision but this is the rise of Thor's prominence! I will make him proud and I will make you all believe. I will destroy the dominant Ace, or I will die trying. For I am the worthy and I will stand proud when the dust clears.
*Curtis stands up.*
Curtis: I am the worthy! I am the breaker of worlds! I will break The Ace's world, I will shatter all of your worlds with what I do! When this is over, The Ace can walk away, into the arms of all his women. I don't pity him one bit, and I won't feel remorse for what I do. Whether he actually stays faithful to his one, or goes back to his many, that's no concern of mine. I have everything I need, everything but one thing. So not everything. Everything not everything. What am I saying? You know what I'm saying! I'm saying I'm going to BANG! the Ace! I said a BANG! BANG! BANG!ity BANG! him! I will! Come Hel or highwater! I stand tall, I break worlds, I snap--I snap him in half. Iwilldestroyallthatheholdsdea--
*Curtis shakes his head and sits back down. He takes a deep breath.*
Curtis: Keep it together.
*Curtis looks down at the ground. Takes a few more breaths.*
Curtis: I don't want this...I need this...I am the worthy...
*Curtis looks up at the camera.*
Curtis: See you soon Ace. BANG!
*The scene fades out.*
Curtis: Ah, I could definitely get used to this.
