The scene opens with a Mid-shot of Big Ci, with the Valor Championship over his shoulder. He looks directly into camera as he speaks.
Big Ci: Good evening Ladies and gentlemen… I am Big Ci and I am, at the time of speaking, still your POW Valor Champion. On Friday night, one week remo9ved from discovering that I will have to defend my championship, not once but twice, at Reckless Abandon in a unification tournament against Mid Atlantic Champion, Buddy Love and our respective number one challengers, I go up against POW’s Eastern Champion… John Anthony.
Now last week… myself and my former stable-mate Reck Maverick defeated Love and Anthony in tag team competition. Now whilst it was Reck who got the pin last week, and whilst it was not Anthony who was pinned, I would say that I had the psychological advantage, not to mention the momentum, going into this match.
You see because whilst John Anthony may be the Eastern Champion, and whilst he may have a shot at becoming the POW National Heavyweight Champion at Reckless Abandon, John Anthony has made a mistake in preparing for this match. He says he has been studying the tapes of my previous matches… he says that he has been able to get a taste of my psychology… as well as being able to learn my styles and my moves… but John you have been matching tapes of matches containing George Duke, Lance Erickson, Shadow, Nick Pickles… the list goes on and on and on… but there is one name not on there… that name is John Anthony.
You see because before you step into the ring with me one on one you cannot comprehend what it is like… you can’t learn how to wrestle me John… not without getting in there yourself. Now whilst we wrestled in a tag team contest last week… whilst we did get into it in the ring… like I said earlier… we weren’t the ones involved in the decision. Buddy Love was pinned… Reck did the pinning… so you have never pinned me… you don’t know what it takes to pin me, or to make me slap the mat… when it comes to beating me John… you haven’t done it. So revise my tapes… watch my matches… learn how to counter the moves I put on you… but it won’t do you any good. You may be able to counter one of my wristlocks… but then try and make me tap… You may be able to reverse my suplex attempts… but then try and pin me… you will find that you can’t.
You talk about my size… you talk about how powerslams will take a little bit out of you each time… I advise you not to bother. Don’t hurt yourself ahead of facing Reck for the National Championship… because it will be in vain. You may slam me… but I will get up. You may suplex me… but I will get up. You may smash me in the skull with a chair… but I will get up. For as good a champion as you are… I am one too. You will learn that this week… as will Scott, Buddy and Neverwinter at Reckless Abandon.
Ahh who am I kidding… of course you will take everything out of yourself to beat me… you’re a fighting champion… you’re a brave man… and that’s why I respect you… that’s why I like you… and it is for that reason that I warn you John… I will bring everything that God gave me to this match. Ahead of possibly the biggest, most prestigious night of my career I set out prove that when this champion comes up against another champion… this champion wins… this week it is the Eastern champion… next week the Mid Atlantic… But both results will be the same. The man with his hand raised at the end of the match will be me… “The Original Horseman” Big Ci
Ci looks into the camera as it fade to black.
The scene fades back in as the director speaks.
CUT!! OK that’s us done. Good job people.
Ci shakes the crews hand as he walks down the corridor. His cell goes.
Hello?
…
This is him
…
So it finally went through?
…
The papers are signed and everything?
…
Money’s been transferred and the certificates have been handed over?
…
Oh thank the Lord. Does Mr Burton know?
…
OK. Well thank you for telling me
…
OK Goodbye
He hangs up.
Finally
He walks out of set as the scene fades out again
