the legacy begins.... In this life, we're
all faced with challenges. Challenges to make us show exactly
what we're made of. Challenges that make you grow as a person,
as a man, or a woman and builds character. This Thursday Night,
John Cena has a challenge. Even though, John Cena is the WME Undisputed
Champion - the first ever - Undisputed Champion, he's going into
this match with something to prove. A point to make. Last week
on Smackdown, John Cena came out and made a challenge to some
unsuspecting champion of the WME and the answer to his challenge
came in the form of Christopher Daniels - the WME Prime-Time Champion.
Christoper Daniels, would like nothing more than to become the
World Heavyweight Champion, but in this match it has to be earned.
This match - which has been dubbed a 'Winner Gets A Shot At The
Loser's Title' match - has been muchly anticipated since it was
annouced. John Cena, who has never held the Prime-Time title,
would like nothing more than to win the Prime-Time Championship
and become a double champion, and a Grand Slam Champion as well.
John Cena has the opprotunity to stop a threat that has been brewing
for a while now. The Coming. This deadly group has been gathering
wins and championships week after week after week, and has shown
no sign of stopping. It's up to John Cena to stop this run and
do it quickly before it becomes too hard to stop. Ever since John
Cena became the WME Undisputed Champion, he has had to face doubt,
doubt that he earned the title, doubt that he even deserves the
title, but this week is his week to back up what he says, just
like he did at No Mercy. Sure, he won't win many people over,
but at least the skeptics will have to be quiet for another week. ...but how will it end? "The Streets.. Has
A Life All It's Own" -|[ The
Projects. What are the first thoughts that come to mind when you
think of the projects? That the people living in them haven't
a clue how to live life, properly. That the people don't have
the luxuries that the normal person would have. You think of crime,
poverty, police cars, sirens, crackheads, and everything else
bad you can think of. Are this people wrongfully misjudged? Or
are they simply just misunderstood? The last time you saw, Christopher
Daniels he claimed that John Cena knew nothing about life. Claiming
that John Cena suffered from ambition. In the streets, sometimes
ambition is all you have. The ambition to rid yourself of your
surroundings and become something with your life. Maybe your block
proud of you. It's obvious that Christopher Daniels and John Cena
are from two different walks of life and they have two different
opinions on what exactly life is. Our scene opens with police
sirens blaring and the sound of feet hitting the floor at a face
pace - running on the streets of Boston, Massachusettes. Boston
- the hometowns to both A-Train and John Cena - has alot to be
proud of, but we're not on that side of Boston. There are four
young boys running from the police.. they run right past John
Cena and A-Train as the Cena and A-Train just watch them flee.
The four boys turn into an alley and and the police no longer
chase them as they get out of their car and begin to speak to
one another. ]|- |[: 'The
Law' || Officer Jameson :]|
"Ah! Goddamnit! I hate kids.." |[:
'The Order' || Officer
Smith :]| "Pfft..
you tellin' me? C'mon.. let's get outta heah'..and go get a cup'a
java.. and some doughnuts.. eh?" |[:
'The Law' || Officer
Jameson :]| "Sounds
good ta' me.." -|[
The officers then turn around and go back inside their squad car.
They then begin to leave the scene as John Cena and A-Train follow
the trail of those four boys who were running. They walk around
the corner and see the four boys resting in the alley. John Cena
and A-Train then walk up to them.. with no fear, because they
know these people. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Aiiyo.. ya'll aight?" -|[
One of the boys looks around at his peers, and then back
at John Cena. At that moment, he begins to speak. ]|- |[: 'Criminal
Instinct' || Trayvon :]|
"Yeah, dawg.. we - we aight. Aiiyo, thanks for not stoppin'
us, man.. ya know what I'm sayin'.. you had 'da chance.. and you
didn't. And yo, what's with 'da cameras, dawg?" |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Don't worry 'bout 'em.. they with me.. but man, c'mon..
you know me bettah' than 'dat... I'd never do 'dat to you, Tray..
you my dawg - that goes for all ya'll, man.." |[: 'Criminal
Instinct' || Trayvon :]|
"Yeah.. yeah, 'dat's tight..
but what bring you back around here, man? You in some trouble?" |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Somethin' like 'dat.. but yo, what ya'll do man.. why ya'll
runnin?" |[: 'Criminal
Instinct' || Trayvon :]|
"Man.. I tell you why we runnin'..
'dis stupid ass dude." -|[
He points to a boy in the group, wearing all blue. ]|-
|[: 'Criminal
Instinct' || Trayvon :]|
"His stupid ass, you 'member
'dat dude Dustin and his crew? 'Dem fools 'dat broke into Man-Man's
house? Yeah, well.. 'dis dude popped Dustin." -|[
Cena turns to the same boy and begins to speak.
]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"YOU DID WHAT!?" |[:
'The Shooter' || Rodney
:]| "My bad, dawg..
it wuddn't 'sposed to happen.." |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Man.. you just killed somebody.. and all you can say is
'My bad'? Rod.. Rod.. you my boy, and I know you wouldn't have
done it, if my dude didn't deserve it.. but damn man.. you in
some shit." |[:
'The Shooter' || Rodney
:]| "I know.. look
man.. I'm gon' head on home, aight? Ya'll comin'?" -|[
The group that the boy is with all nod in agreement
and head out of the alley. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Yo! I'll be down there in a minute man.." |[: 'Criminal
Instinct' || Trayvon :]|
"Aight..
we'll see ya down at Rod's house 'den.." -|[
They all leave the area. However, John Cena and
A-Train stay where they are. John Cena then turns to the camera.
]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Ya know, Christopher Daniels.. you may talk all old-fashioned
and whatever, but I read you loud and clear. You said, that John
Cena didn't know what life was. John Cena was sufferin' from ambition,
and that John Cena is paranoid, and you couldn't be more wrong.
See.. I know, what life is. It's called livin' in 'da streets
man. See what you just saw here.. is stuff I used to have to deal
with everyday man.. every day! Runnin' from cops.. shootin'..
killin'.. survivin'! It's all I know! It's survival of 'da fittest
out here and the weapon of choice.. is ambition! So in that sense..
yeah, maybe you right. If you wanna say... I suffer from ambition.
'Cause, dawg.. I strive to be 'da best at what I do.. it's what
keeps me goin'.. it's what drives me to be better than 'da the
best.. tougher than 'da toughest.. stronger than 'da strongest!
See, I know what life is.. because LIFE.. IS AMBITION! Without
ambition.. there would be no life! Because what you fail to realize..
is that life is a struggle.. it ain't some play.. it's a struggle
to stay on top! A struggle to be the best you can be.. and you
know what Daniels? I AM.. THAT STRUGGLE! You say I don't
know what life is? I AM LIFE!! I AM.. AMBITION!! And..
even more.. I AM THE CHAMPION!! AND THAT.. AIN'T GON' CHANGE..
NO TIME SOON!" -|[
John Cena then looks around the alley and begins
to speak again. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"See.. Daniels, you like theater and you like plays and all
that, but see this - this is a play, too. You got action, drama,
suspense, all the makings of a blockbusta' hit! See.. just as
well as I know life, I know.. that every good play has a tragedy..
a death. And death, in these streets.. is ya next door neighba'..
'Cause ain't any given time.. it can come knockin' at'cha door..
unexpected.. unannouced.. unwanted.. and it ain't a damn thing
you can do about it. You may think of ya self as immortal.. but
bottom line is, nobody can escape 'da hand of the reaper! And
when it's ya time to go.. it ain't no second chance.. it's come
as you are.. and that's 'da problem you gon' be faced with this
Thursday Night.. 'cause.. IT'S YO' TIME TO GO DANIELS... AND
IT AIN'T NOTHIN.. YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" -|[
A-Train then steps in and begins to try and calm
Cena down. ]|- |[:
'The Monster' || A-Train
:]|
"John.. calm down, bro.
I wanna kick Daniels' ass just as much as you do.. but you can't
do that yet. Just calm down.. save that energy for the match." |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Nah man.. FUCK 'DAT! Daniels, he tryin' to start
a war, dawg.. a war between two walks of life. See, he and his
little group think that life is some big theatred play.. that
everything that go down in life.. is an act. Nah, 'cause I see..
I've seen life.. I've seen death.. and that makes me more powerful
than anybody in 'da Comin'.. and I'm gon' prove Thursday Night..
'dat it don't matter how highly you think of ya self.. you can
think you immortal.. but when it come right down to it.. ya arms
are too short.. to box with DEATH!" |[:
'The Monster' || A-Train
:]|
"Man, c'mon.. let's
just go to Rod's, aight? C'mon.. you need to chill out.." |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, TRAIN! SHUT UP! AIGHT!? JUST SHUT..
THE FUCK.. UP!" -|[
Cena turns to the camera with intensity oozing out
of his pores. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"YOU DON'T KNOW.. SHIT! DANIELS! NOT SHIT! You don't
know what the fuck I've been through in my LIFE.. I know exactly
how hard.. LIFE.. can be. I know the struggle.. I know the tough
times.. I know about not havin' a hope for tomorrow.. but you..
don't! Because in ya little play.. there's always a tomorrow..
it can be written it.. this ain't scripted, Daniels.. this ain't
no Shakespeare original.. this is real life and it's somethin
that you gon' have to deal with this Thursday Night.. when you
step into 'dat ring.. and get what's comin' to you!" |[:
'The Monster' || A-Train
:]|
"You
done, now?" -|[
John Cena pauses and gives one more evil look to
the camera. Then with the intensity still at a fever pitch replies.
]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Yeah.. let's bounce." -|[
A-Train pats John Cena on the shoulder in an attempt
to comfort the angry WME Undisputed Champion. These then begin
walking off. They walk out of the alley and make a right turn.
More trouble ensues as they see a robbery right in front of their
very eyes. They continue to walk down the street. Having no fear
of what's going around them. John Cena carrying his shiny and
expensive WME Undisputed Championship on his shoulder, still fears
nothing. They continue walking down the street and they eventually
get to where apparently a crime has taken place. Police, Ambulance
and common people all surround the area. Walking past Cena and
A-Train is a lady, crying, being helped away by a member of the
ambulance. ]|- |[:
'The Monster' || A-Train
:]|
"John..
isn't that.." |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"..Rodney's mom." -|[
John Cena then pauses. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
".... Oh shit.. don't tell me.." -|[
A-Train and John Cena then break through the people
and head to the front of the group, where they see their slain
friend, Rodney. Apparently, the people who were with Dustin, have
gotten their revenge - at his very own home. WME cameras have
caught this whole ordeal on tape, and John Cena walks up to the
gurney where his dead friend is lying, motionless turns to the
camera and begins to speak. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"You want life, Daniels? Here.. [pointing
to his friend] is life. A life wasted.. a life taken..
and yet, a life 'dat's gon' be celebrated all at 'da same time.
Wha'chu know about life? [shakes his head]
You don't know a damn thing about life man.. [long
pause] not a damn.. thing." -|[
John Cena uses his right hand and makes across over
his chest, apparently sending his friend off to a better place.
]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"I may not believe in God as much as'ja average Christian..
but, I do believe in a place.. 'dat all of us go.. when life is
taken from us.. so Daniels.. reserve a spot.. 'cause yo' ass..
is gon' be there soon!" -|[
John Cena then walks off as A-Train follows and
the people yet again collapse onto the scene. Leaving nothing
to be seen but a sea of humanity. John Cena then walks down the
street on his way back to the alley where he last saw his friend
before he was tragically killed. After a long, dismal walk John
Cena and A-Train finally make it back to the alley. John Cena
sits down in a dark spot of the alley where the shadows and the
night sky have consumed all light. Now, the time is around 1:10
A.M. The camera is directly on John Cena, John Cena then looks
up, at the camera and then up at the sky. ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Yo.." -|[
Yo? Is he going to rap, at a time like this? ]|- |[:
'The Untouchable'
|| John Cena :]|
"Rod.. this one for you, dawg.." As I Sit Here, Lookin Up At The Stars, Tonight. -|[
Cena's intensity grows as he's breathing heavily
and heavily. John Cena then begins to slowly speak these last
lines, still breathing heavy and still having intensity in his
voice, looking right into the camera. ]|- Part Of Being Champ.. Is Never Givin' Up 'Da Fight -|[
Cena whispers. ]|- WORD LIFE! -|[
At that moment, John Cena drops his head down, with
his knees up and his arms resting upon them. John Cena just sits
there, thinking. The camera focuses on him for a little bit, and
then looks up at the sky, and slowly fades to black. ]|- |
