We're one of the same
(As the scene opens up the shot shows the outside of ‘Good God’ Kevin Powers’s home in Chicago, Illinois. Capturing the scenery of the shot, the picture quickly flashes out and flashes inside to what is Powers recreation room. On the wall are several news clippings, awards, and other celebrity pictures as well as trophy cases that show the numerous titles he has won in the past. With the camera continuing to pan right taking in all the different memorabilia, the picture finally sets on Powers who is looking at a replica of the GXW Unified World Heavyweight Title that sits in the center of his trophy case. With a beer in his hand he turns towards the camera and smiles.)
KP: Man it’s been a long time hasn’t it. I never thought it could happen twice in one federation, but it did. Will wonders ever cease.
(Powers holds up the beer and tilts it towards just enough to show that he’s actually giving the camera a toast. He then takes a drink and looks back.)
KP: Hey Danny Boy how ya doin’ man? How’s life been treatin’ ya since Fallout? Things didn’t look good for ya at the last Pay Per View, but I can understand. I didn’t exactly fare to well either, but hey S(bomb)t happens right? Still, Danny Boy, you my Mutha F(bomb)k and I can’t turn my back on a friend now can I? I mean, after all, I know what you’re going through being without a title and all.
Why it wasn’t too long ago when I held the first GXW title so I know how you’re feeling. You grown attached to it only to have it snatched away from ya so now you’re in withdraw and stuff. Yeah I feel bad for ya … really I do. You know, we do have a lot in common when it comes to this league as well as other leagues because we know each other so well. Hell Danny Boy we damn near mirror eachother except for the excess weight you have to wheel barrel around and I don’t, but that’s another story and I won’t get into it.
You’re just like me. You go to a federation and you do your tough talking and you follow it up with words just so people will notice you, but you play it off like you don’t care thus making you even MORE popular. You go out to each and every show and you tell people what you really think about them no holds barred and you either gain respect or you just flat out beat the respect out of’em. Eventually the owners of the federation take notice to you and they try to make you in their image, but you don’t go for it and you start your little war with them and it looks good for all the fans, but then it happens. It eventually happens when your views are parallel with the same views as the owners. Soon you’re talking more and you’re actually agreeing on stuff. You’re going to meetings and you’re doing the right things in their eyes. Soon enough, out of the blue, you get what you want and you’re wearing some SERIOUS gold around your waist. Sure the fans might or might not enjoy how you achieved the title, but no matter what the title is yours and you sacrificed your body to get it day after day after day so who cares what they think right? And then, just when you think you can’t get any higher … that’s when it REALLY happens. Your vision and the boss’s vision gets blurred and your ideas conflict with one another. Eventually, and it is sad to say that this happened twice, you prepare yourself for a match against an opponent and THEY send in a last minute entry throwing your game off all together. Then end result? That person walks with YOUR title and you go home … and accept it.
(Powers takes another swig of his beer and then points it at the camera.)
KP: Oh I know how you’re feeling Ryan. I truly do. And what’s even worse? We both got screwed by the same person by the name of Chad Dupree. Granted it wasn’t Dupree that got me the chance to get the GXW title in the first place, but I got it from him neverless cause he has never cared for me and that is common knowledge. You and Dupree have a history of flat out HATING one another, but someone scratched the others back and got lucky, but I guess someone didn’t give the other a reach around and they got hissy and pissy … I wonder who that was …
Now look at ya. No title. No main event. Not even close to being at the same place you was a month ago are ya? It’s okay man I know how you’re feeling. I’ve had more than my fair share of run-ins with other people who think they own this federation and I have paid a serious price time and time again. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any lower … it gets beyond lower.
Danny Boy … I had to do a thing with Victoria McCave. Do you think I enjoyed that? That’s like bottom of the barrel, but seeing her past boy toys everyone knows that working with McCave and scraping at the barrel are two of the same thing.
So now it’s you and me in a match. Two former members of Team Phenom going at it one on one. Dang we DO have a lot in common don’t we Danny Boy? We’ve been on the same team. We’ve had The GXW Title. We’ve been screwed out of the world title by the same man …
(Powers then looks directly into the camera with a sinister look.)
… We’ve even had our lives touched by liquor in one sense or another haven’t we Danny Boy?
But that’s where it ends because, while your career is on a slide, mine is on the rise. In Britain, at Wembley Stadium, I do plan on making my mark in Britain. I didn’t get the chance to show there last time EWI was around, but now that we’re GXW, how ironic it gets to be against my buddy … my friend … my pal … my chum Danny Boy. Now, instead of you sucker punchin’ me like you did last time, you’ll get the chance to do it face to face in the ring. Man can you see it? Two former world champions going at it in front of a HUGE audience! We’re gonna sell tickets you and I Danny Boy! The KP and DR Show! It’s gonna be GREAT!
(Powers takes another swig of beer until he realizes he’s out. Turning the bottle upside down proving this fact.)
KP: Gosh darn it I’m out of KGB … Kevin’s Genuine Brew. Looks like I’ll have to go to the store and get me some more. Hey Danny Boy you take care of yourself and I’ll be looking for ya in Britain. You have a good night and give your family a kiss good night for me …
(Powers begins to walk out of the scene until he stops and looks back at the camera with another sinister grin.)
… Oh that’s right … I forgot … oops.
