*We open with Curtis sitting in his throne, with his stein in his hand. He raises it to the air and some liquid slips out.*
Curtis: You know, kicking ass...to me...is like breathing...for other people. It's what I do. It is my nature. And it is what I had built my reputation on. It is why I found Thor. It is everything to my career. If I can't do that, if I can't kick ass, then I am nothing. My career is legendary, I mean, they threw me in the hall of fame three times because of what I did, so no one can deny me that. No one can take that from me. Not a single soul. But that is what I've done in the past. What I do now...
*Curtis sniffles and holds back some emotion.*
Curtis: What I do now is not enough. I had one last shot on completing my legacy, and now it will forever be incomplete. The Ace once again walked away the better man. The Ace once again held me from my goal. I gave it my damn all, and as has been proven this past year time and again, I failed. I'm tired, my body is beat to ****, but I never wanted to give up. I looked ahead, because I couldn't afford to look back. But one day, I did, when the church of Thor ended up being such an abysmal failure, it forced me to see my mortality. It forced me to look father time in the ****ing face and realize I didn't have it anymore. It made me realize that NCW's demise was a sign that it was also the demise of Curtis Kanyon's career. There was only one goal left, and it will forever be left as a stain to show that I chased the dream too damn long and too damn hard. Gib is the Cinderella story of the old man who did something amazing at the end, and my story is ending up like the wicked step mother who lost it all. I know I'm comparing us to chicks, shut up. The bottom line is, I refuse to let my legacy fade.
*Curtis looks down at the floor, let's out a big sigh.*
Curtis: I take pride in all I have done, because, as you know, I haven't done much lately. And for my best friend Joe to try and take away one of my defining moments, to try to claim he injured Lance Ryan, I refuse to let that stand too! I've already lost any dignity in the end of my career, I refuse to lose it from everywhere else too!
*Curtis froths at the mouth. He stands up and staggers around.*
Curtis: First Joe claims Lance, then Ron claims Krueger, then Kane claims Phillip, and so on! Then what am I left with! Where does the madness end! I refuse to let others rewrite history and steal what glory I have left damnit! This is important to me! I don't give a damn if it's important to you, or to Joe, or to anyone else. All I have now is my legacy, and that legacy ends at A Night to Remember, with the rest of NCW. All I have will be forgotten by all but me in a few years time. And when I'm gone, then what? Then what!?
*Curtis takes a chug of his stein, and then throws it into the wall, shattering it into a thousand pieces.*
Curtis: I refuse, I flat out just plain refuse to let my legacy end like this. Joe...hot damn I love him like a brother, but sometimes brothers gotta fight. And I will not go out with a whimper. I will make my night memorable. I'm going to have to do something memorable to have a moment of the night, with as crazy as the card is, it will most likely not be the one thing everyone talks about at the water cooler the next morning. It will not be the defining moment of my career. But **** all, it's going to be amazing, and it will be one of the best damn things about A Night to Remember. I respect Joe, I still think he's the best wrestler to never be world champ, but he picked the wrong time to mess with my legacy. And I'm sorry for the pain I will have to inflict on this wonderful man. But it must be done. I must be the best that I can be, that includes being vicious, dirty, and merciless. Because that is what I know. That is who I am. And that is how you will all remember me.
*Curtis staggers forward and bumps into his round table. He punches the table, putting a hole in it, and then kicks the table over.*
Curtis: After Sunday, I retire. I am done. I will make Thor proud, and then I will go home and rest my aching bones. I will live out the rest of my days with my beautiful wife and my two kids, until Thor beckons me to Valhalla. I'm fine with that. I realized I stayed out a little too long, I passed my prime, and my hard hitting style caught up with me. But I have one last war, one last hurrah. One night left to give it my all and make you people feel something one last time. I will go out there and give you every drop of blood, sweat and tears I got left, and I will soak in that high that I can only get in that ring one final time. I will make it worthy, because I am the worthy. I go out not with a whimper...but with a BANG!
*Curtis laughs and laughs and laughs, until he starts to choke up and sobs just a little. He quickly regains composure. He then charges the camera man and hits him with a BANG! The scene cuts to fuzz.*
