Scene 1
" Da Champ Is Where? "
The scene opens up in Goldberg’s locker room at a house show at the Sioux Falls Arena in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Goldberg is seen leaning against the concrete wall talking on his cell phone. Goldberg wears his normal casual attire consisting of black jeans and a black t-shirt.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “So Steph, are you sure you know what you’re doing? I know that... uh huh. Well I...”
At that moment there is a knock heard at the door.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I’m going to have to let you go...”
Goldberg hangs up the cell phone and throws it into his gym bag. He then walks over to the door and opens it to find none other than Vince McMahon standing behind it. Vince smirks as Goldberg immediately backs away from the door to let Vince in.
| ‘The Former Chairman’ Vince McMahon | “Well, well, well... if it isn’t the Intercontinental Champion himself!”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Damn right.”
| ‘The Former Chairman’ Vince McMahon | “And I’m trusting you to remain as the Intercontinental Champion after this Sunday at Battle for the Gold. The Supremacy has been on a little bit of a... a rocky road if you will. And we can’t let the Intercontinental tile out of our grasps.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Vince... don’t get all worked up over nothing. I am the Intercontinental Champion... I didn’t just get handed this title, I won it. And I’m not about to just give it up to some punk kid, Vanilla Ice-wannabe. Now I realize that you’re a little nervous about the whole Supremacy situation, but don’t worry about that either. I just got off the phone with Steph and she’s got it all under control.”
| ‘The Former Chairman’ Vince McMahon | “Well, that does make me feel a heck of a lot better. After all, Steph’s never let me down and I don’t think she ever will. So Goldberg, just go out there on Sunday night and do exactly what you do best... kick ass.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Vince, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”
Goldberg smirks as Vince returns the smile. Vince nods his head in agreement as the scene fades to black...
