| (Mike King is standing in a dark alley way. The alley way has various graffiti covering the brick walls. Another man is seated on the pavement. You can tell it is New York City due to the attitudes of people walking by and not showing any care towards King who looks homeless and the other man with him. King just stares him down. The man realizes someone is staring at him and looks around and finds King wearing a trench coat and torn jeans.)
Homeless Man: What are you looking at?
Mike King: I am simply looking at another homeless man like myself.
(The homeless man studies King.)
Man: You look different than other homeless men, you know? You look cleaner than most and look more famous.
(King smirks.)
King: Actually, I was just over a friend’s place to use his computer and that. I crash at a few people’s apartments or houses. It depends on what town I am in.
(The homeless man nods.)
Man: Where do you call home?
King: I’m originally from Westbury, New York, a suburb of New York City on Long Island but my family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona pretty recently. However I’ve stayed in Dallas, North Carolina, San Jose, California, San Francisco, California , Springfield, Massachusetts, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, and Mexico City, Mexico.
(The homeless man smirks at King.)
Man: Wow for a homeless man, you are well traveled. Welcome back to New York.
(The homeless man offers King his hand and King shakes it.)
King: Thank you…
Man: Chris.
King: Chris, I’m Mike.
Chris: So what brings you around the world and back to New York?
King: Well I am a wrestler. My parents kind of kicked me out of the hose for it. I have money but I rather live out on the streets. You know how it is, be heinous and stinky. Am I right or am I right?
(Chris no-sells King’s statement.)
Mike: Well yeah but I am a professional wrestler.
(Chris perks up at hearing that.)
Chris: Really, you are?
(King smiles and nods.)
Chris: What promotion do you work for?
King: I’ve worked for a few in America: WIF, UCW, RAINBOW, CZW, IFCW, and currently EWA. I have also worked in Canada, England, Japan, Germany, Ireland and of late Mexico.
(Chris smiles again once he heard about CZW.)
Chris: You have been in a lot but CZW, so I am guessing at times you have roomed with Brian Kirkland and Ryan Shane.
(King nods.)
King: Why yes, yes I did.
(Chris smirks.)
Chris: Actually was there too.
(King looks at the man trying to realize who it is. He realizes who it is from the a torn up polo shirt with several tales.)
King: No shit, no shit. Chris Tolwar?
(Chris nods.)
Chris Tolwar: Yes, I am Chris Tolwar, the one and only.
(King is starting to fear for his life, knowing he dropped Chris like a bad habit almost a year ago, adding insult to injury attacking Chris after losing his job.)
Chris: Mike I know you think I am gonna kick your ass. I know you mentored me while in CZW and tried to lead me to the promiseland. Then one day I got too cocky and things fell apart between us. You kicked me to the curb and I tried to get back at you after I got fired and you did not stand up for me. I do not blame you for thinking that because there was bad blood between us but right now, I want to end it. You were right at the time. I was a dumbass and strung out on steroids. I was in the wrong and I realize that. Now all I want is a chance of redemption.
(King looks at Chris.)
Chris: Please, I need to redeem myself. I need to show you that I have learned from my mistakes. I need to show you that you were right and I was wrong. I was not ready to break free from you. I should have stayed as your young boy for months.
(King sticks out his hand.)
King: Sure, we both let things get too far. I was pushing you a little too hard at times but that's what happens when you get put into a prestigious tournament like the Bad Ass Invitational. Let’s let by-gones be by-gones. Friends?
(Chris shakes King’s hand.)
Chris: Friends.
(They both smile.)
King: So you have moved to New York?
Chris: Yeah after being dumped to the side like trash by you and then CZW when it closed down.
(King sheads a tear and looks sorry for Chris and what he did to him.)
King: Listen Chris, I’ve been trying to reach you. I am sorry about what happened. I was just showing you tough love. You know, it is not like I wanted to drop you when you lost your job to Ryan Shane’s mentor Axel St. James in the Damage Control, loser gets fired deal, just after you lost to that stupid whiny bitch douchebag Edward Croft in the finals of Matt Covey’s Bad Ass Invitational.
(Chris cuts off King as blood rushes to his face at the dropping of the name of Edward Croft.)
Chris: Edward Croft, THE Edward Croft?
(King nods his head.)
Chris: Didn’t he rear his ugly head in EWA?
(King nods his head.)
King: Sadly yes.
(Chris is getting mad. His face is getting redder by the second.)
Chris: DAMN IT!
(King tries to calm Chris down.)
King: Chris, Chris, chill out man…
(King’s pleads fall on deaf ears as Chris is knocking over garbage cans.)
Chris: DAMN IT!
(Chris is grabs a garbage can and throws it against a door.)
King: Chris Tolwar stop this. You don’t want to goto jail.
(Chris continues his rage.)
Chris: DAMN IT!! Why the hell is he in EWA but I’m not? What the hell does he have that I don’t? GODDAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(King walks over to Chris and puts his arm around his former protégé.)
King: Listen Chris, listen to me for a few and hear me out. Forget our strained past and just hear me out on this Chris Tolwar. Am I not happy that Edward Croft is in EWA, I guess KC Kash never was around when Croft caused a riot in the CZW locker room that got him booted from the locker room and his job. He is not “The New Bad Ass” like Matt Covey crowned him for beating you, he is a dumb ass. I will deal with him soon enough for big leaguing the locker room over that when it did not do shit for him in CZW. But before that I got another asshole for me to deal with Xavier Reid. I’m not sure if you know of him or met him but he is a miserable mother fucker.
(Chris shakes his head no.)
King: That’s good for you Chris. I dealt with him both in the CZW locker room and now here in EWA. See this idiot first no-shows Mexican wrestling promotions. Which is somewhat fine with me as I got a job in there thanks to him and got the chance to work with some of the best luchadors in the world.
(King holds his thumb up and smiles.)
King: But seriously, you know how much I respect the vast history of lucha libre. You know that I take offense when people screw with Mexican promotions. I get offended by that even though I know sometimes the promotions list guys will be at a show but they aren’t. This time they didn’t, Reid just left.
(Chris nods.)
Chris: What an idiot, I know how much that makes you tick. He is so in the wrong that he is in it deeper than some swimmer in the ocean with Jaws.
(King smirks and laughs.)
King: That’s a good one.
(King and Chris hi-5.)
King: I’ll have to borrow that some day.
(Chris smacks King on the back.)
Chris: And you’ll give the credit to me right?
(King looks at Chris.)
King: Well I guess so…
(King shakes his head before continuing.)
King: Anywho lemme continue about Reid.
(Chris backs away to give King space.)
Chris: OK, go a head.
King: Xavier you wonder why “I stuck my nose in your business,” you are the whore not me. You go on EWA television and take up the time of those who have signed with the promotion and wonder why people are sticking their noses in your business. You take up the time of those who should be on the damn show and not you. I can understand your frustrations but you stole time from me. I had to do a dumb song that was a mild hit for a one hit wonder in the 1980’s to get damn television time besides a match, while you have it from attacking Buck Evans and you are not even under a deal. You aren’t good enough to be in EWA. So you take your frustrations to the internet just like I did. You take it to Chris Howard and his internet radio show “Pro Wrestling Tonight” wearing a damn shirt that read “Mexico=shithole.” You blame me for screwing you, you put all the blame on me for why you lost to Ronnie McNeil. Ronnie is not some Johnny Comelately, I know that, CZW wrestlers know that and so do the fans who watched CZW. I did not screw you Xavier, you did. You did in Mexico, you did it again in EWA. I just wanted to hand deliver you your uppance. I delivered you a well needed bitch slap to knock some damn sense into your 33 pound head.
(Chris steps in and cuts King off.)
Chris: Hey, I’ve heard that before…
(King returns the favor, looks into Chris’ eyes and cuts him off.)
King: Not now.
(Chris steps back and throws up his arms.)
Chris: Sorry...
(King turns back around and moves a few strands of hair away from his face as Chris drops his arms.)
King: Now Reid you blame me for taking your sloppy seconds, and yes I am thankful for that. Without that I would not have been able to work with my heroes south of the border. Now yes I did do some training with Ultimo Dragon in his Toryumon Mexico dojo but I never had a steady promotion to goto. I filled in under different masks, the guises of Brazo de Platino Jr. I masqueraded as a member of the famous lucha libre family, Los Brazos. I wore a mask and acted as a member of Los Brazos until Miguel Chavez came to me and said there was an open spot for me. That spot happened to be your spot, the spot you gave up on. At the same time, I started in EWA and I told them that I wanted to work in Mexico, it was always a dream of mine and I got the chance to do that. I main evented there for nearly 4 months before I gave them my notice to go back to EWA after I was working on a handshake here as the CZW deal I had was up at the beginning of the year. I still part time for Miguel, Toryumon and another promoter in Mexico thanks to my EWA deal.
(King pauses for a second and smiles before continue.)
King: Now EWA may think little of me like you say they or they maybe testing me or they knew that Mexico was important to me so they should let me have a part-time schedule there like they said when I signed my new deal with them, I don’t know. I am not sure what their logic is but the fact is they think more of me than you. If they thought that you were as good as me or better than me, you would have the contract that you think you deserve. If you were as good as you think you are would be in EWA but you are not. So I suggest that you check yourself, before you wreck yourself. Then you call me an attention whore for bringing in La Diva Gaga. You call me a has-been. You are a pot, I am a kettle and you are calling me black when you say that you son of a bitch. You are no better than you claim that I am because if you weren’t a has-been you would be an EWA wrestler and if you were good enough, you would not be an attention whore beating up Buck Evans and trying to get a damn shot at an EWA contract because of it. I brought Gaga in to give him the chance that he deserves. Not to stroke my ego for bringing exoticos to the attention of EWA or getting my name out there. I brought him in because he is good enough to be here in EWA. He will probe that soon enough. I am the carnival barker of the forgotten, the underground. I’ll admit that I brought him in for exposure but not mine. La Diva Gaga will be a bigger star in Mexico for being in the EWA. If EWA don’t work out for him, he has Mexico and I do too. You have nothing, you are nothing and that’s what you’ve always been.
(King looks at Chris, pausing.)
Chris: Jeez, is there anything else you hate about him?
(King nods at Chris.)
King: Yes there is. Xavier, you use my original St. Anger. Your X’ed Out, the bridging double underhook chickenwing was the original submission hold I called St. Anger for over 5 years. I am the master of that move while you are a second rate knock-off. I used that move until I mastered and debuted a new variation of St. Anger. I know all the ways to slap the move on and I know the ways to get out of it. If you summon the testicular fortitude to wrestle me, there’s no way you can win. When it comes to you, I am unbeatable. You tell me how the originator is a “glorified understudy” as you called me. You tell me if you were so popular that fans from Mexico send you fan-mail by the truck load. You tell me if instead of me being a second rate Xavier Reid, maybe you are a second rate Mike King?
(King smirks and moves more strands of hair from in front of his face.)
King: Or maybe I can prove that you are a second rate Mike King. EWA already put me against former CZW Intercontinental and Television Champion Ronnie McNeil for Shatterpoint. “Flawless,” “The Angelic Enigma,” “The Living Legend,” Ronnie McNeil, R-Mac, they can call you whatever they want. At Shatterpoint, I call you my opponent. You were the former leader of the CZW stable called X-Cellence with Crimson Blaze and Kris Kash. Ronnie, I have never beat you in the ring. However so far we have not had a one-on-one contest. One time we had a three-way with Brian Blaze for the Television title, the other time it was a four-way with Ryan Shane and Waylon Krew for my Intercontinental title. Ronnie you beat me once, the other time Brian won. You might be “better than me,” however this has not stopped me. This time will be different. This time I will be the victor and not the man laying in the middle of the ring beaten, looking up at the lights and wondering what went wrong. At Shatterpoint, I will beat you and prove that I am better than you. You beat me for my CZW Intercontinental title only after Ryan Shane took me out, one-on-one you cannot beat me. At Shatterpoint I will prove to you and the world that I am better than you and better than Xavier Reid because I can beat you, something he could not do. I will prove that I am not a second rate Xavier but instead Xavier is a second rate Mike King.
(Chris smirks at King.)
Chris: BOOM, know about it!
(King grins.)
King: I’ve missed hearing that, I actually did.
(Chris hugs King tight while King is shocked.)
King: You can let go.
(Chris breaks the hug.)
Chris: Sorry.
(King looks at Chris.)
Chris: So do you wanna tell Xavier Reid anything else.
(King nods.)
King: If you show up to New York or not, it makes no difference to me. Either you are a coward or you will be eating a bag of crow and drowning sorrows with a can of shut the hell up. Cause I am Mike King and as I always say,
(Chris cuts in.)
Chris: Be heinous and be dirty.
(King and Chris chuckle before high-5ing into a hug. They walk to away from the alley as the scene ends.)
