*We open seeing Curtis sitting on the side of his bed. His wife asleep in the bed.*
Curtis: I can't sleep but I'm tired. I can't eat. I don't like this feeling. I can't help it though. This feels like the biggest night of my life. It feels so damn special. It just feels important. And I need some important...
*We open on Curtis D. Kanyon emerging from a limo. He then reaches in and helps his gorgeous wife, Esmeralda, out of the car.*
Curtis: This was a great idea babe. A night out, just the two of us! I really needed this to get my head together.
Esmeralda: Baby, you deserve all this and more! Before we go into the restaurant, I just want you to know that I love and am proud of you! The ways you have provided for this family and your friends, it's immeasurable how wonderful you are!
Curtis: Thanks babe. I can't help it, I'm just a sweet guy.
*They continue on into the restaurant. When they go inside, it is dark and it looks as if no one is there. When suddenly--*
Crowd: Surprise!!!
*The light flips on and a whole cast of characters from CDK's past and present can be seen popping out from behind things. A giant banner hangs across the wall reading "Happy Retirement."*
Curtis: What the what!?
Esmeralda: Ha ha! Gotcha suckaaaa!
Curtis: You little scamp!
*Obsidian rushes Curtis and gives him a big hug. GQ and Pedro come up and join in. They pull Curtis toward the rest of the group and we see Russell Jenkins, Amber Ashe, Nicholas Cage, Adam and Kelly Knite, and even Ron Gibson.*
Obsidian: I'm so glad you made it!
GQ: Welcome to the party! I'll be your MC.
Curtis: Wow, what a turn out!
Ron: Of course pal, welcome to the retired life!
Curtis: Ha ha! Thanks buddy!
*Ron and Curtis shake hands, then it turns into a crazy black man hand shake, and then they hug. Russell runs up.*
Russell: Aw yeah dawg, let me get in on that!
*Russell shakes Curtis's hand, and then starts going crazy on it trying a black man hand shake, but Curtis doesn't move his hand.*
Curtis: No...stop...
*Russell keeps going.*
Ron: There's fried chicken on the table.
*Russell immediately runs to the table.*
Curtis: Thanks my main man.
Ron: No problemo hall of fame tag team partner.
Adam: Hey! I'm his hall of fame tag team partner.
Curtis: Now now, there's enough of me to go around.
Adam: Yeah there is.
Curtis: Hey!
Ron: Ha ha, you're fat!
Adam: Pot, meet kettle.
Ron: You son of a--
Amber: What about pot? You holdin'? ...not that I'm in to that...especially before work to let off some steam...
Curtis: Amber, glad you could make it out. Try to keep your close on, this place is classy.
Russell: That's okay, she doesn't have to.
Curtis: Aren't you a preacher now?
Russell: Doesn't mean I can't look.
Pedro: I'm very certain that is exactly what it means.
Curtis: The kid is right.
*Instead of replying, Russell eats some more chicken.*
Esmeralda: Thanks for coming Nic, isn't this beautiful?
Nic: Beautiful? Sunsets are beautiful, newborn babies are beautiful. This... this is ****ing spectacular!
Curtis: Thanks, Nic, I always loved you man.
*They embrace in a hug. When Curtis lets go, the doors slam open. A few men in black suits enter the restaurant. They look around. Then president Barack Obama walks in.*
Russell: Holy sh--
Barack: Hello...how are you Curtis?
Curtis: My president!
*Curtis and Barack give a black man hand shake and then hug.*
Russell: Oh, come on!
Ron & Amber: I need to go flush things down the toilet.
*They both run off.*
Barack: I am so proud of you my friend. Great man...great career...
Curtis: Thanks.
Kelly: A pleasure to meet you mister president.
Barack: You as well maam. Sorry I couldn't...bail you out.
Adam: It's okay. All good things you know.
Barack: And you little man, sorry you can't get married anywhere in the country yet, but I'm working on it.
GQ: Oh, that's really nice, tha--I mean, I AM NOT GAY!
Curtis: What a great night. Can't get any better!
*The doors slam open again. In walks Joe Everyman! The room gets silent and the music in the background screeches to a halt.*
Obsidian: Sorry...I hit the ipod player.
Joe: Sorry I'm late.
*Curtis just stares him down.*
Kelly: Joe, I don't know if you should--
*Curtis hods up his hand, telling her to stop. He then walks up to Joe and gets face to face. Joe squints his eyes...*
Curtis: ...I'm not nervous about the fight. I'm not nervous about Joe. I'm nervous about going into that next chapter of my life. Transitioning into a regular citizen. The life of a wrestler is crazy, and fun, and dangerous. I love it. So one last night, one last hurrah. Anything and everything left that I have to say in that ring, I have to do it on Sunday. I have to give you everything, and I don't mind that. I want to do that. Thor wants me to do that.
*Curtis runs his hand through his hair.*
Curtis: Luckily, I got Joe Everyman. That's right, I said luckily. If anyone in NCW was ever given more crap and written off more times than me, it's Joe Everyman. But when the chips are down and you got your back against the wall in a no win situation, Joe's always willing to be by your side. He and I may have rarely been the talk of the night, but we were always in the conversation. We've both always been in the spotlight and made the most with what we had, and got results. We've been made fun of, but we have amazing careers. We met in XHF. We both went through that closure. Joe showed up here, I showed up here. My first match here in NCW, Dirty Deal versus Echoes of Freedom. Joe and I were in that ring together. And I don't know if Ron and I were just awe struck by how amazing this place was, or if Joe and his random partner who I can't even remember were actually good, but Dirty Deal lost. I lost my first match in NCW, to Joe Everyman. So it all comes full circle. My last match in NCW is against Joe Everyman. I don't plan to have the same result. I'm kicking Joe's ass, I'm beating him from pillar to post. I will do my best to just destroy the **** out of him when that bell rings. But whether I win or lose, I will grab that man, and I will give him the biggest hug. Because he's like family, and though we fight, though he is wrong about Lance Ryan, we will forever be friends. My night ends, my legacy goes on forever. For I am the worthy, I will always be worthy. Joe will feel...the BANG!
*Curtis and Joe continue to stare each other down. Joe raises a fist in the air, and has a pair of panties clenched in it. He opens his palm and hands it to Curtis. Curtis smirks and then gives a light chuckle. He takes the panties and throws them. He then gets a scowl on his face again. He grabs a microphone out of GQ's hand and lifts it to his mouth.*
Curtis: Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, but then I see the look in your eyes.
Joe: Turn around bright eyes.
Curtis: Every now and then I fall apart.
Joe: Turn around bright eyes.
Curtis: Every now and then I fall apart.
Joe and Curtis: And I need you now tonight! And I need you more than ever! And if you'll only hold me tight, We'll be holding on forever! And we'll only be making it right, Cause we'll never be wrong together! We can take it to the end of the line! Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time! I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, we're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks! I really need you tonight! Forever's gonna start tonight! Forever's gonna start tonight!
Curtis: Once upon a time I was falling in love!
Joe and Curtis: But now I'm only falling apart! There's nothing I can do! A total eclipse of the heart! Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark! Nothing I can say... A total eclipse of the heart!
*Everybody applauds as Joe and Curtis high five. The scene fades out.*
Curtis: I can't sleep but I'm tired. I can't eat. I don't like this feeling. I can't help it though. This feels like the biggest night of my life. It feels so damn special. It just feels important. And I need some important...
