(It seems that binary opposition exists everywhere in our lives. Without one piece of the puzzle, there is no reason for the other to exist. What is sound without silence, what is light without dark what is good without evil? These very pieces of the puzzle of our lives all revolve around binary opposition.)
(World War II is the most talked about and remembered war in the history of the World, and why? Because the leader of one side was the epitome of evil, mutilating, experimenting on, mass exterminating people due to the fact that they didn’t think Jesus was the savior, or because they had dark skin or dark eyes. This made for a memorable war because it was a true representation of good versus evil.)
(Could anyone really enjoy how golden silence was unless they were up all night with a screaming baby? Of if they have never wrestled someone on the New York Stock exchange. People need to have one extreme to have another)
(And why you are thinking am I talking about this?)
(Well our match that may not be the main event, but is the match that has the opportunity to steal the show pits two men who are at an extreme level of binary opposition.
(One of the men is a seasoned veteran of the squared circle. He is massive, powerful and well conditioned. He is leading the Age of the Revolution and has taken out superstar after superstar in his quest for gold. He uses the most advanced training regimens, probably has a dietician and personal trainer and overall is built for this business. He is confident and prepared.)
(The other man we know little about other then the fact that he got his job through a series of misfortunes, and that his victories have come because he needs them to keep his job, to get bigger paychecks and to try and make it off the streets. He uses primitive training techniques, eats leftovers from a garbage can and is built only to be **** on by society. He is timid and nervous.)
(See, Ethan Carmen and Gib are quite opposite)
(But all things that hold opposites also have similarities)
(These two men are warriors that are going to go to the very limits to make sure that they make it out of the ring as number one. A war is what is expected and a war is what is likely to ensue.)
(So Adam Knite says there is something familiar about Homeless Harold. Well, there are some very interesting events that occurred this weekend that have made people wondering if maybe there is something more then meets the eye with the behemoth of the resistance)
(Despite trading verbal barbs and having several physical altercations with Jackhammer, why did Homeless Harold go after Adam Knite and attempt to choke him into a coma? Everyone is expecting the big payoff between the two but he went after Knite. That was an interesting development.)
(That, however, like so many good stories told before it must wait for another time, for now we have a meeting of the two giants at next weekends Pay-Per-View. Homeless Harold, the juggernaut of the resistance will be taking on the New Age of the Revolution’s powerhouse, Jackhammer.)
(What happens when the immovable object meets the irresistible force?)
(Only time will tell)
(Scene opens to a Soup Kitchen, it is thanksgiving and several homeless people are lined up awaiting their government provided turkey, instant mashed potatoes and canned cranberry sauce. After a few moments of hustling and bustling a large man dressed as Santa enters the kitchen. He is wearing a hockey mask and the Santa costume is stretched thin over his body. It is obvious who is under the mask. Over his shoulder he carries a sack, so full that it appears that is will burst.)
Harold: Ho, Ho, Ho, Happy Thanksgiving.
(People look at him like he is crazy)
Harold: I am just here, I realize that I am about a month early for this, but the fact remains that next week, on a television show that leads to a live pay-per-view wrestling attraction that I am facing off against a man that is so huge and so powerful that I literally may not make it to Christmas, so, because I got a bonus check for another win, I decided to buy everyone a gift in advance. Holiday Harold is here to spread cheer a month early.
(Several people clap, others just push the air away with their hands scoffing under their breath. Harold finds a folding chair and sits down)
Harold: Who wants a present?
(the kids start to line up and they wait for their chance with Holiday Harold, the first child sits on his lap and Harold speaks to him)
Harold: What do you want for Christmas?
Child: Well, I want a xbox 360!
Harold: Well, do you have a television?
Child: Nope, I don’t, we don’t have a house why would we have a television.
Harold: Why would you want an Xbox 360 then?
Child: I just do!!!!
(He rummages around the sack and pulls a large package of something wrapped in butcher paper handing it to the kid)
Harold: Here is ten pounds of smoked bacon. This is the gift that keeps giving for at least two days, until you consume all 10 pounds.
Child: Thanks a lot mister! Jackhammer is going to punch a hole through your face!
Harold: Yeah, I am aware of that and the very thought of it permeates my thoughts each and every night of the week.
(The next child sits down)
Child: I want a wagon.
Harold: Huh… That’s a good one. A wagon is very useful, not selfish and really a good choice. Let me see here.
(he rummages around the bag)
Harold: What I have for you are two wheels of cheese and a rack of ribs. With some baling twine you can attach the cheese to the ribs and that would work as a makeshift wagon, perfect for transporting anything.
Child: Will it be big enough to transport your carcass after Jackhammer obliterates you? What are you getting yourself into?
Harold: Well, if he tears me apart into little pieces I would probably fit in your rack of ribs wagon, but until then I am a bit too big.
Child: Well, good luck. I will be rooting for you but I will be honest, I don’t think you stand a chance!
Harold: Now that’s interesting because neither do I. I am just wondering why the nCw officials are sending me off to my death.
(A final child sits on his lap)
Child: You shouldn’t lie about who you are.
Harold: Huh? Now what do you want for Christmas…
Child: Your mask, because I want to know who you are.
Harold: I am just a bum, a hobo, a drifter, a nothing. Don’t you worry about it.
Child: No, no man that Adam Knite recognizes is no one. You have wrestling skills, you aren’t just a lumbering idiot, you proved that against Johnson, and against Pure Innovation.
Harold: Listen punk, Santa won’t bring you any presents if you keep talking like that.
Child: Just be honest, and be yourself.
Harold: Whatever, here, I will give you this.
(he pulls out a 10 gallon jug)
Harold: It’s pudding, ten gallons of pudding. I hope you like pudding. After words you can cut it apart and make a mask for yourself, just like good old Holiday Harold’s.
Child: You can’t keep it up for long, soon enough people will find out.
Harold: Thanks, but there is nothing for people to find out. I am just a guy who is down on his luck, who has to go to the ring to get executed for a win.
Child: Someone who has no experience as a wrestler certainly wouldn’t beat former nCw Triple Crown winner Ricky Johnson and certainly wouldn’t have been in a tag team that beat Pure Innovation. Just start being honest, because living a lie isn’t easy…
Harold: Hehehe… you said Johnson.
(The child hops off his lap. A woman walks from behind the counter and speaks to Harold quietly, she is a mildly attractive woman and is wearing an apron with gravy splattered all over the front)
Woman: Harold, I have a break, can we talk?
Harold: Sure Charlene, just give the rest of this food out after. I spent all my money on it.
Woman: All of your money?
Harold: Yeah, I have lived a long time with nothing and have done well for myself, the least I can do is help others.
Charlene: Chivalrous. Listen, I don’t want you to take this match. You need to back out. I mean, I am sure it was fun at first but seriously Harold, this Jackhammer is one of the top guys over there. This is his job, he has, time after time, beaten people, hurt people and well he knows how to do it. Now, I think you could beat him, if it were a competition to see who could create a five course meal out of a dumpster, but that is your thing, this wrestling, it is his thing.
Harold: I appreciate the concern, but seriously, I have been fighting my whole life. The only difference here is that if things get out of hand they will stop, there will be no more match. I feel protected in the ring. If three punks come down, I have some buddies that will back me up, that will help me. I have friends, I normally can talk the janitorial staff into letting me spend the night in whatever arena I am in so I have shelter and there is a sweet buffet table set up out back, so I have food. I need to take the guarantees, not the possibilities. Sure, if I quit this I might be able to get work, but that isn’t a guarantee. I am not sure if you have noticed, but I am pretty good at this. I haven’t been defeated yet and I have heard that I have faced some tough competition. I am going to wrestle, I may get torn apart, I may get destroyed, but I will walk into the arena with my head up, I will exit the arena with my head up and I will get some money.
(a look of concern covers her face, she nods)
Charlene: Ok, just be careful.
Harold: I will be…
(He gets up, his head hung low, walking away from the shelter, Charlene raises her hand to call out but doesn’t as the scene fades to black)
(World War II is the most talked about and remembered war in the history of the World, and why?
