FORWARD: He was born an ordinary man but he will die a legend. His heart and his desire will lead him far. Pain and hurt has never stopped him before and neither will his Three other Opponents.
SCENE:There is no present, only future at this time as we open up in the past. The scene opens up in the late nineteen eighties as we open to a smokey low key bar where a local rock band is performing badly on stage. As the camera pans around we view the small scale of the bar only a maximum of ten people are seated around the stage. These ten men though are making enough sound for one hundred as the boo the rock band of the stage throwing anything they can find at the heads of the four men. The lead singer and guitarist standing over six feet tall in the centre of the stage is the first to leave as he throws the microphone to the floor and heads for the backstage area to the left. Once the band has completed their leave of the stage there is an up roar of cheers from the ten half drunken men seated around the stage. The cameras follow the four bands members to the backstage where they seat themselves on broken benchs of their locker rooms. It would be wrong to name this room as a locker room as it's more of and shit hole comprised of one bench a mirror and crate of beers. The tall leader of the band is first to the beers as he opens up a bottle, downs it within seconds before throwing the glass to the floor. As he turns around towards the camera we are finally able to see that this is non other than a more youthful version of Sid Frankenstein. With only a Head Band on his head, in a pair of jean flares and Alice Copper T-shirt the soon to be wrestling legend takes a seat on the bench and buries his head in his hands.
Sid:God damn!Every night we go out there and every night we are booed out of the damn bar. Each night I return to the locker room, get drunk and wish I was dead. My bills aren't paid, I'm soon to be living in my car and whats it all for? This is all so I can play in a run down bar each night and get booed of the stage for ten bucks and a few beers? What the hell am I doin ? This isn't my life. This isn't who I want to be.
' so called drummer ' John Davis: And what? You're just going to quit? Your going to give up on the band just like that. I'm telling you Sid, this is the future. Soon enough we are going to have a record deal and playing headlining tours with Blacksabbath, Aero Smith and Kiss baby. It's only a matter of time. Just stick with it. We can do it.
Sid scratches his head fircely before getting up again and grabbing another beer. Once sat down he opens the bottle and looks deeply into it. Suddenly the bottle opener is thrown across the room as Sid jumps up and begins pacing back and forth.
Sid:Time? I don't have time to wait around just for a record label. Look at me, I'm already beginning to lose my Weight. I don't want to waste the rest of my life playing in these run down bars waiting. It's only a matter of time? Well time is the one thing I don't have and right now I need to do something about my life before I waste away.I'm not prepared to watch my life slip away. I want to become something.
' so called drummer ' John Davis:You've become something. You're the lead singer of the band. Without you it's like eating a sandwich without the damn bread. Don't do this Sid. Don't be so selfish just because you want to do something with your life.
Sid: Don't be selfish? I lost me job for this stinkin band. I'm going to have to move into my car just so I can play music instead of have a proper job. I haven't eaten a full meal in over a month. I've worn these same clothes for the past three days. And what for? Just so you can acuse me of being selfish.
' no balls ' Billy Bold:Oh here we go again. It's always about me, me, me. It's also how Sid hasn't eaten or how Sid hasn't showered. If it's not that then it's how the lead singer isn't happy with the temperture of the room or brand of the beer. Well we are sick of you Sid. Go on and quit. See if we care.
Sid:Fine! See if I care. See if I start crying when I become something and you end up dead in the damn gutter. I gave up everything for this band and this is how I get treated? Leavig this band is the best damn thing I've ever down. For too long now I have watched myself fade away. I see people walk past in their fancy clothes and watche. I see everybody heading somewhere in life but where am I going? Your just dragging me down to your level. I'm better than this. I can do more than earn ten dollars a night and drinking cheap beer. I'm done with this part of my life. Now it's time to move on and head onwards to actually do something with my life. There will be no more waiting for something to happen. I'm going to make it happen. I will make something of myself.
The survivor of an abusive household, .Sid Frankenstein lived on the streets for roughly half of his life. He did horrible things to survive, and fought almost everyday to survive. Sid decided that three outlets would change his life style...wrestling ,Martial Arts and Hunting ..He spent day and night almost in the local dojo, and received a black belt by the age of thirteen. His first interest had sparked another one, as he had always loved watching The World Wrestling Federation as a child. But his passion really kicked in when he went to an ECW house show in December of 96. He saw another way how wrestling could be, and as soon as he graduated high school, he enrolled in a wrestling academy on Long Island. He had his first match in November of 1998, taking part in a fatal four way with Sabu, MadMan Pongo and Wifebeater. After spending two years on the indy scene in eastern and mid United States, he traveled to Japan, where he grew a large following during his seven month stint. He eventually went to the finals of the NOAH championship, losing out to Ikuto Hidaka.
It was Ikuto Hidaka ,though,who gave Sid Frankenstein the break that he needed as a wrestler. In those early years as an amateur , he was cast as one of the bad guys, something that would completely reverse in later years. Most would agree that his style was a little raw at that time, but the charismatic man obviously had what it took to succeed at the highest level.one later in 2001, Sid won his first Major Title, and had risen to prominence as a hero type, particularly popular with the kids. He defeated Hayabusa at The Tokyo Eggdome to capture the Frontier Martials Arts Wrestling Title . He was highly influential in making American wrestlers appeal to a Japanese mainstream audience again. The catalyst for this was a fight against Stan"The Lariat"Hansen in 2001, which ultimately became known as a prelude to their extremely popular Gorefest Matches,which ultimately led to Hansen's retirement from the Sport. One Match remembered by all is a match which many consider to be the one of the greatest match in the history of the FMW; Sid Frankenstein Vs The Hardcore FatMan Abdullah The Butcher, in front of 93,000 fans. The fans who packed the Tokyo Eggdome that day exploded when, the now, 7ft 325 pound Sid Frankenstein picked up and slammed The 500 pound Abdullah The Butcher. It was a day to remember and a cornerstone in Sid Frankenstein's career as he knew he had come along way.
SCENE: 93,000 Fans scream at the top of their voices as kicks off ealry in the evening. The line up looks set to be one of the Biggest Shows of The Year yet as the main event will see Sid Frankenstein take on the mammoth Abdullah. The second scene now beings to fade up as we view one man sitting alone in a giant locker room. Benchs, snack table, television and water cooler all surround the man sat in the center of the room. Pictures on the wall view all of the great achievements head in this very arena. As we draw closer the head of the man sits up towards the camera as we see Sid,dressed in red and yellow, Sat alone in his room he looks up to the tall ceiling pondering in his head. Suddenly the Seven foot man now known in the wrestling buisness as Sid"The Man"Frankenstein stands up pacing up and down the room each time looking up at the pictures on the wall.
Sid:And this is what it all comes down to. One night, ninty odd thousand people in the stands looking down on two men. I've come this far by myself. If there were ever a time I would have everyone on my side, it would be tonight. If there would ever be a time to shine it would be now. I've come to far to fall now. It's my time. I've made it to the big time. Now I must not let that go.
Sid then stops again and looks up at a gap on the wall where there is set to soon be a picture. What picture will go there is unsure as Sid stares deeply into the path of white paint uncovered and unused.
Sid: There is a space. It's a mark of my dedication. There will go a picture of tonight. There will go a mark of all I have done so far, all the acomplishments and still whats to come. Championship belts and fans mean nothing in the future. To be placed on that wall with such other greats would place me in history forever. This is what I have worked for. This is where I want to be.
Sid slowly then steps backwards and sits onto the hard wooden bench once again taking a sip of his bottled water. After finishing the drink he places his head back into his hands.
Sid:It was only ten years from now that I was nothing. I played in crap holes for peanuts. I drank my life away and lived where ever I could from a place to sleep. My family abandonned me. My friends left me. All I had left was the band and that was the thing that was pulling me down. I had no job and real source of income. I was nothing to the world. Now look at where I am. Main eventing for Frontier Martial arts Wrestling, I have the money, I have the home and job. I have everything I could want but it's not enough. I'm still not the man I want to become. There's still so much to do but so little time. Tonight will mark my name in history. It's just the begining. There will be other moments. There will be other days like these. I live for these moments as the desire to be known as the best, as a legend and hero to others carries me on. It's the desire that I live on to make me what I want to become. Theres still so much.
Sid takes one last look around himself before glancing at the clock infront of him. He then ties his shoe laces, tightens his Mask and looks up once more at time go forward.
Sid:Only one hour till the time will come. Slowly I draw closer to the peek of my life. Tonight, The MadMan Abdullah The Butcher verses Sid"The Man"Frankenstein. Nintey plus screaming fans and one ring. That ring carries my future. Tonight is my destiny. I have come this far and I will go further. What lies ahead of me is unkown but I'm ready for it. Fueled by desire I'm prepared to go down in history as the greatest. I have nothing to lose!.
