:: The scene opens at a small independent show in Kentucky. There is a match in progress between one of the companies’ regulars and special guest Big Ci. The regular has Ci in a left wrist lock and is applying pressure. After a few seconds Big Ci adjusts his body weight and ducks under his own arm, relieving the pressure. Ci then takes hold of his opponents left wrist and wrings it into a hammer lock behind the local wrestlers back. After a moment the local wrestler counters the move into a hammerlock of his own. It only takes a minute for Ci to counter this hold also as he drops to a seated position and rolls out of the hold.
He returns to a standing position and re-applies an arm ringer. After a moment or two Ci doubles the pressure on the arm ringer and sends his opponent flipping on to the mat, before delivering a leg drop to the arm he has been working on. Ci stands up as does the opponent, who gets caught with yet another arm ringer. This time Ci backs the opponent into the ropes and sends him into the opposite strands. Upon the opponents return Big Ci attempts a clothesline, but the opponent ducks and his momentum carries him back towards the ropes. Upon his second return to the centre of the ring Big Ci attempts a back elbow, however, for a second time the opponent ducks and is caught by the ropes.
This time however, as the opponent reaches the centre of the ring, Ci drops to his back and wraps his body up in a “Lady of the Lake” (Or Johnny Saint Special)*. The opponent slows himself down, narrowly avoiding tripping over Big Ci, who is rolled up in a ball. The opponent walks around Big Ci, puzzled. After a number of seconds Big Ci sticks his arm through the gap created between his legs. The opponent takes the hand. As he does so Big Ci releases himself from the Lady in the Lake and traps the opponents arm with his legs, flipping him over and rolling him up in a variation of the cradle. The referee drops to the floor and counts…
1!
2!
3!
The bell rings and Ci releases the cradle. Unlike past weeks the crowd does not react favourably to Big Ci. Big Ci recognises this as he beckons for a microphone from ringside. He is handed one and makes his way to the centre of the ring. He is obviously breathless as he has just competed. He takes a moment to compose himself and then speaks to the live crowd.
Big Ci: (Panting heavily)… George Duke… you may or may not see this match but I hope you get this message. I just showed tonight that I can go when it comes to technical wrestling. Now this kid may not be the Valor champion, he may not be an amateur great like you… but the fact is I proved tonight that I can go toe to toe in this style of match. And I didn’t need a rest stop like you were so keen to point out that old British greats did. But you need to remember that I am not one of the old school greats. I am trained in every form of wrestling imaginable… I am Big Ci… not Big Daddy. So don’t think that I won’t be able to keep up.
Because Duke, this week I am gonna take your title. And then me and the Horsemen…
Crowd: Boooooooooo!
Big Ci: Me and the Horsemen…
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOO!
Big Ci: Me and the Hors…
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Big Ci: What? What is going on? OK, so we got rid of Shane but it had to be done.
Crowd: Boooo!
Big Ci: One way or another, he was going. I didn’t know it was gonna be that quick but that’s what happened and I’me not gonna turn on my boys because of it.
Crowd: Boooo!
Big Ci: Well you know what… I don’t care. You know why? Because all of you fans in this arena… you’re all selfish. Because when me and the Horsemen are going week in and week out to that ring, to entertain you people, everything is OK. But then the one time… the one time since we have been here, we decide to do something that might benefit us… and you don’t like it. Well I don’t care what you people think anymore… ‘Cause you’re fickle. One minute you love us… the next minute you hate us. Well you know what… f**k YOU… EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU… and you remember that… the next time you queue up for a Horsemen T-shirt, the next time you queue up for a Big Ci T-shirt, you remember the day that Big Ci said “f**k You, you self-serving, arrogant, Fickle son’s of bitches.
This week, when I take the title from Duke… and I will… when I take the title from Duke, all of you can sleep safe in the knowledge that I did it for me and the horsemen, and all of you… can KISS MY ASS.
With that Ci drops the mic and flips out of the ring over the ropes and walks up the ramp. As he reaches the top of the ramp, he turns his attention back to the crowd and flips them all the double bird before storming through the curtain.
