Scene 1
The scene opens up in city area of Tampa, Florida. The International Plaza and Bay Street is one of the biggest and most established malls in Florida. Two floors with a wide range of stores from Victoria Secrets to Nordstrom to a Louis Vuitton store, this place is made to satisfy every need that a person can have. Right next to the mall is the infamous Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With so many attractions here, there is always going to be a crowd awaits to come into the Plaza and on a cloudy day such as this morning, this is no difference.
There are tons of cars parked in the parking lot that stretches out for an acre or two. Cars and trucks of different shapes and brands bombard each row as they go a couple of yards back. Also at the front gate is a valet parking spot, where a lean young man is patiently waiting for the next car wearing maroon colored working attire. The line in front of the mall is a couple cars down but is moving at a steady pace.
As the line moves forward some more, a black 2009 Nissan GTR pulls into the mall parking lot. With black striped decal and the letters ‘T.K.’ on the door handles, it is obvious who has just pulled up. Inside the car is the man of the hour and his fiancé, Starr. Both wearing shades, Starr has on a baby blue dress that goes almost down to her knees and a pair of heels slight raised up in the back. As for The Show, he is wearing a pair of Sean John jeans with black Reeboks and green shirt with a picture of Johnny Drama from Entourage with the words “Victory!” written on it. As they have been since Kidd has returned to Maximum Championship Wrestling, the ‘happy’ couple has been on the rocks. Constantly arguing and bickering about everything, there has not been a happy day in the Thompson’s household and today isn’t any different… Starr: I don’t understand it, Ty. You’re 28! You have two beautiful children, the house of your dreams, a nice car, a great job doing whatever you want, and yet you feel like you need to have it all and be the #1 wrestler too?! Look McW was a great place to be. We both had fun and we made a statement together. But why do you have to go back?! Couldn’t you at least have been management? Kidd: Yes, because that is what I wanted to be. A fucking manager of another company. Gee golly gosh, Starr! You sure have a way of hitting the nail on the head. I came back because it’s in my blood. I bleed green and black. I love doing what I do and that’s not gonna change. As long as I am old enough to be able to wrestle then guess what I am. I am going to walk through that curtain and be loved by the hundreds and thousands of fans all around the world. And right now I’m not going to walk out and like this two-bit pompous Brit get the last laugh in my own hometown. It’s not my nature and I will not stand down. Now I thought we were not going bring this up right now. We are going to this mall to go out and actually have some fun for once. Now can we please get along? Starr: Fine. By the time they get to the valet area, Kidd puts the car in park and they get out the car to let the boy in. Tyrone tosses the kid the keys and gives him a smile as he walks right over to his girl, who is waiting for him. As the car drives off, Kidd takes Starr’s arm and proceeds to walk to the doors into the mall. When they get to the door though, his fiancé stops and turns to look at Kidd in the face. She puts one hand on her hips and the other stretched out with her palm out. Starr: Phone… Kidd: Are you serious?! Starr: Yes I am. If you really intend to have that ‘good day’ like you say you do, then we are not going to have any interruptions at all. That means there are going to be no agency calls and NO wrestling calls today. We are going to have a peaceful couple of hours until we head back to the kids. Then you can do whatever the hell you want that makes you happy. But for right now, this is our time. Ok? Kidd: Yeah, yeah. Kidd goes into his pockets and pulls out his cell phone. Reluctantly he hands it over to his fiancé as she smiles and snatches it away. Kidd puts his head down as the door opens and they both head into the mall. Scene 2
The scene opens up inside the mall. Right outside of the Abercrombie & Fitch store. Within the complex, the happy couple is in the changing room. Well Starr is actually in the room checking home a couple outfits she found look on her. Tyrone, however, is standing right outside the changing room, currently holding about four or five bags from different stores. Still sad because of his phone taken away, he just sits there and waits for Starr to come out with what she think is a good pick. A couple minutes later Starr walks out in wearing a tight fitting baby blue spaghetti strapped tank top. To match the shirt, she has on a pair of black Capri pants. Looking for a seal of approval, Kidd just looks at her with a half ass smile and gives her the thumbs up. Now don’t get it wrong, in that outfit his fiancé looks nothing short of stunning. The problem is that as of this moment The Show’s mind is thinking about something further down the road. Noticing the look on his face, she just throws her hands in the air and starts to head back… when a phone starts to ring.
Starr goes in the dressing room to check the phone but comes out with the phone in her hand. She faces it in the direction of Kidd to let him know that it’s not his phone. He lets off a sigh of disappointment and continues to wait until Starr is done. A couple minutes later, the phone goes off again. She comes out with a laced bra and the Capri pants still on. She looks around to see where that sounds is coming from and so does Tyrone. The phone finally goes off and his girl gives him a stern look as a way of confessing something. The Show just shrugs his shoulders and goes to sit down on one of the chair he found. Starr comes out with the same pair of pants but this time a purple short sleeve shirt. This shirt has a V-cut design which makes her 34 B cups stand out slightly more than before. When she is about to ask for his opinion, the same phone starts ringing but this time with a distinct difference. The vibration from the phone must be on some time of surface because now on top of the ring tone, there is a humming sound to go with it. Filling with a woman’s rage, Starr stares a line of fire directly into Kidd’s eyes. Now busted, Kidd looks at her with a look of wonder as he pulls out a phone from his back pocket. Starr: What the fuck is that?! Kidd: …Umm… It’s a phone?? Starr: I know that jackass!! What are you doing with it?! Kidd: Umm… It… It’s the Bat-Phone… Starr: Bat Phone!! Who the fuck are you now?! … Bruce Fuckin’ Wayne?! Kidd: Yes, that’s who the fuck I am! And this is Commissioner Gordon asking for my services! Now that I am obviously caught red handed, I’m going to go take this call. Ok? Starr is too busy staring a hole into the chest of her fiancé. Kidd feels the tension in this stare down and just smiles… faintly. Kidd: I love you… Starr: FUCK you! Kidd: Sounds about right. Kidd drops the bags and takes the phone outside of the store. Once outside, he flips open the phone and dials back his agency in California. He orders the front desk to put him through to his assistant and says it in such an unsympathetic voice, that he strikes fear into the recipient. After a couple of rings, Terri picks up the phone. Meanwhile Kidd is seething from the mouth, waiting to spew his frustration. Kidd: Listen Strauss, either this call better be EX-TREM-E-LY important or the sky better be motherfuckin’ falling in all over Los Angeles! …What is IT?! Strauss: Um… I figure you would like to know about this. Remember today was suppose to be the meeting we were suppose to have with Megan Fox. The one that you thought was going to bring her in to the agency. Kidd: Yes… what about it… Strauss: Well I just was told by the agent that was supposed to be there, that Fox cancelled the meeting. Kidd is taken back by what he hears on the phone. Kidd: Wait… wait… wait… what? Strauss: She cancelled the meeting. Kidd: What the fuck you mean she cancelled the meeting?! Strauss: She just called and said that she wasn’t able to make it to the agency meeting today. Something about…, ‘England’ or something English that she had to run off to.’? Kidd: England?! What the fuck does bloody fuckin’ England have to do with anything?! What can possibly be worth… can…cell…ing… a meet…ing… for… … … Kidd goes heavy into thought before realizing what is the true cause of the cancelled meeting. Kidd: … FUCK!!! Kidd screams so loud that he ends up scaring a family that was just a couple of feet away from him. He ignores the crowd and goes back to the conversation. Strauss: What is it, sir? Kidd: Groond is what this is about. That English bastard has found a way to screw with me outside of the ring. Do you know how long I have been trying to get her to sign to Five Star?! Two months!! Two months ago, I heard from the grapevine that Fox has been having trouble with her agent and the company behind it. And since then I tried to do everything in my power to sway her attention to a new person, a new agent that will look for her best interest. I have the ideas made to push her into a whole new direction in her career. I had these plans… and I was so close to getting this done and what happens. She decides to go to England and play fuckin’ Comic Con with the Wonder bitch Twins?! Really? Let Megan’s people know that she can choke on both of my balls… but make sure you clean it up. Strauss: Ok I’ll get on that. But that is not all… Kidd: Oh God. What else is there to ruin my already ruined day? Strauss: You got a DVD in the mail from McW. Seems that Groond has replied to your little promo the other day… and it involves Megan Fox. Kidd: Oh… wonderful. Strauss: Not the worse part. It seems that Groond has revealed his sinister plan. He is trying to buy McW. Kidd put his hand over his face to show exactly how stressed he is at this moment. If he had enough hair on his head this would be the part where he proceeds to rip the strains of hair out of his scalp. Kidd: *sigh* This is un-be-fuckin’-lieve-able! Strauss: I will download the promo and send it to your computer as soon as possible, sir. Kidd: Thanks, Strauss... I will get back to you later. Kidd closes the phone and stares down off the end of the balcony part of the second floor. It almost feels like this should have happened on a Monday. But after a couple of minutes, Kidd lifts his head up and heads back into Abercrombie & Fitch store to deal with the hell that he has left inside at the dressing room. Scene 3
The scene opens up right outside of the Kidd’s estate in Tampa, Florida. The outside is just as beautiful as the inside with nice decorations in the front of the place. There is a long brick gate with steel tips to cover the whole area of the house, which actually runs for a couple acres deep. The driveway has a reddish brick style to it that makes a wide ‘U’ shape from one side of the entrance to the other. In the driveway for the moment is a white limousine with the trunk and the rear door wide open. Surrounding the driveway are little spot of flower beds, each with a different design with different flowers. Right in the center of the lawn is massive maple tree. The branches of the tree make it look like when it is fully blooms in the summertime, they provide a pretty decent amount of shade. Standing by the steps that lead to the front of the doors heading to the house, is a member of the McW camera crew. Brought here once again for promo written purpose, he just stands three filming as he is suppose to do.
All of a sudden out the front door walks Tyrone Kidd. He has a much more serious look on his face but given the day he has been having so far, can anyone blame him? He is carrying about 2 long suitcases as well as a backpack strapped onto his shoulders to prepare him for the trip ahead. As he reaches the limo to put his luggage in, you can see his fiancé looking for the opened door. She has a look of concern on her face, mainly because she doesn’t want anything to happen to her man. After a few seconds, she shuts the door just as Kidd finishes with the rest of his luggage. Obviously a lot of time has passed and Tyrone Kidd spent a lot of time watching Groond’s newest roleplay on his laptop. Just as focused as he will ever be at this moment, he motions the camera man to enter the car with him. Knowing that he probably will be catching flack for what he’s normally does. He just tells the driver to head to the nearest airport and starts to do what he does best. Kidd: So this was the sneaky bastard little plan all along. He decided to take a huge risk and gather all his little nickels and dimes together in order to get co-ownership of McW. Nice plan. It shows true dedication to the green and black. I mean let’s be honest; I personally think you can think great things being the head of all these great wrestlers in this federation. HOWEVER, I do not think you can and will be able to balance that backstage glory as well as the responsibility of being the top dog in the federation. Even worse, I actually think that you, sir, do not have you eyes on the prize. I mean if it were me in this situation, I might be paying more attention on ownership too. I would love to put more focus and energy into being the co-owner of McW than just being a transitional champion like you were going to be anyway. Just do all of us in the federation a big favor, and continue trying to dot the “I’s” and cross the “T’s” and leave leading the new age of McW to the big boy, the true headliner of the McW… myself, Tyrone Kidd. For the first time all day, Kidd breathes a huge sigh of relief and smiles for ear to ear. He goes to grab a bottle of champagne and a glass but continues to speak. Kidd: Now it is obvious that you weren’t paying attention too much last time and who would blame you. I mean I wasn’t paying that much attention to you. The drool coming off my lips was more entertaining at that point then you were and sometimes I still think that they are. But Groondmeister or Groond daddy ,or whatever little face Rico-Suave type name you want to give yourself, you should take a closer watch on what I am about to teach you is Showmanship 101. Kidd proceeds to pour himself a glass and takes a small sip out of it. He takes his free hand and pulls down the window a little bit so he can get a breeze to come in and cool down the vehicle. Kidd: RULE #1, Groond. I am going to make this perfectly clear to you. When you step into the ring this Sunday night, you will not be fighting McW alumni. This will not be “Old School versus New Breed”. You will NOT be stepping into the ring with a respectable McW Legend. When the introductions are done and that bell rings… you will face to face with a McW SUPERSTAR!! You will be across the ring from the 28 years old showstoppin’ PHENOMENOM!! You can do your comics. You can worry about your behind the scene activity. You can get your ass kicked in Street Fighter IV. As a matter of fact, consider the first game an omen. Consider me the Jamaican version of Zangief, the world renowned wrestler, and you little Kenny Masters. No matter how many little jabs and quick shots you try to get in, you can not escape the grasp of the bigger, more experienced fighter. You’re just gonna be laying on the GROOND thinking about how you can come up with a different strategy next time. Funny how thing can work out work you, isn’t it? Which now brings me to my next rule for you. Excuse me one moment… The Show crawls to the other end of the space in the back of the limo to get the drivers attention. He tells him to open one of the windows and with a push of a button the moon roof in the back of the vehicle begins to open. Kidd puts a finger in the cameraman’s direction and head up in the direction of the now opened roof. The limo approaches a corner where there is a group of woman walking in the direction of the nearest club in that direction. The limo slows down and Kidd lets out a loud whistle towards their way. They turn around and take a look at who is trying to get their attention and then they start going crazy. Kidd blows them a kiss and the group begins jumping up and down, not believing who they are seeing. Kidd goes back into the limo and looks at the camera. Kidd: Rule #2. Now listen carefully. I am THE SHOW for a reason. I love the spotlight. I thrive off of the attention of everybody that can hear my voice. This is what I do. This is why I get paid the big bucks. So when you complain about me doing “another interview” like “everyone else”, understands that I have to do these things. The press in my family and as my family I feel like they should know what is going on in my head and ask me questions about what they feel is important. I consider myself the Terrell Owens of the company. And I need the people just like the people need me. So when thousands upon thousands of fans are cheering my name, no matter where I am or who I am facing in the ring, I feel like I can top anything and anyone. That is why I perform better, I shine brighter, and I make a claim as one of the BEST wrestler in history. Because when that siren hits, once those lights turn dim, once those fans cheer and go crazy… that, MY FRIEND is SHOW-TIME! And when that, word by word, happens I want you to look into those same pair of hazel eyes and tell me that you do not see a certain gold twinkle inside. That is not because I fancy you in any type of fashion. This is because when the pressure is on and it’s time to put up or shut up, I do NOT fold. I, my friend, become EXTRAORDINARY! To put it in short, when the cameras are turned on and all eyes on me, I do not disappoint. The limousine finally arrives at the airport and they drive into the area to get to the jet. Once the car stops, the limo driver opens the door for the two people and Kidd heads to the trunk to get his luggage. He picks up his stuff and hands it to a big individual who places it inside the jet. Once he finishes handing him the stuff, he looks back at the camera. Kidd: Rule number 3 comes this Sunday. I do not sweat this match. I do not sweat you. At the end of the day, the only thing that is keeping me from being crowned McW Undisputed Champion is you, Groond. I am down with the respect talk. I will be finished with the “You know Groond is a very successful athlete with great talent and it will be such a pleasure to step in the ring with him.” talk. You want to know why? Because at the end of the day, I am NOT happy that I am going to be fighting you. I do NOT care about your talents and your accomplishments. I do NOT care that you are a 2 time former Undisputed Champion because guess what? If you were really that good…, then you would never have lost the title to begin with. Hook or crook, you should have been able to fight through it and prevail. In the end, you are not fit to wear this coveted title. And at McW: Rising, once you are face to face with me, I will show you truly the NEW direction of Maximum Championship Wrestling! And it starts with me on the frontline, leading the McW as champion. And you, Groond, staying in the back and handle all the paperwork. I am Tyrone Kidd… I am THE SHOW… And Sunday… I will be Undisputed Champion!! And that, my English speaking friend, is not a THREAT… Kidd stares straight into the camera. Kidd: … BUT A PROMISE!! With that being said, the pilot starts the engine to the jet. Kidd makes his way to the plane and looks back at the cameraman. He put his hands close to his waist and motions the shape of the Undisputed Champion. When is does that, he opens his mouthed the word, “Showtime” before he walks into the jet and scene ends. :: END SCENE ::
