The scene opens with Curtis Mitchell sitting at a bar taking an a drink of an amber liquid. Most likely bourbon. He drains the glass and looks up at the commercial for the up coming UHW event. He hasn’t even spoken to Eric yet. Curtis takes his phone out and goes to his Facebook Live. It’s time he speaks on his up coming match.
Curtis: Eric Herrera, a name that is known all over the wrestling industry. Some call him a Legend. Some call him an Icon. I call em next. My next victim. My next opponent who will fall by my hands. You see Eric. You allowed your old Friend Bishop get you into a wreck. You know why he won’t face me Eric? It is because he fears me. I’m not Brian. Who turned his back on em. (He shakes his head no.) He fears me. He said I was to unstable and he couldn’t put his name on me. He was ashamed of the monster I’ve become. So what does Bishop do? He lines you up to face me. And what will I do? I will first beat the Icon Eric Herrera and then I will be facing none other than Jenny Kay.
He chuckles at himself. The thoughts racing around in his head. Seemingly becoming unhinged. He looks back towards the camera.
You see Eric, UHW closed the last time saving you all. And since then I traveled the Indies. Making a name for myself as I went. Looking. Waiting for UHW to finally reopen. And it’s poetic that it’s GWL and in the place it started. Because the time of GWL will end as fast as it started. And after I am finished with you, I will finish The Empire next. Your just the beginning once I tear past you. Bishop can’t run. There isn’t anyone else he can hide behind. At the PPV I will win the Xtreme Title. The mark I am making in UHW will go down in the history books. Since UWF merged into UHW Inc. I have been training. I was supposed to take Bryant’s place in the old GWL. And who was chosen? Brian, and what did he do? Did he fall in line? No. He went against all of you and now his plague runs deep in UHW.
He pauses to read some of the fans remarks. He smirks.
Me facing Eric comes down to two things. One is who will the man across the ring is. The coward that’s been hiding in the depths and barely making himself noticed. Or two. The man that came out and placed the first defeat to the notorious Jenny Kay our till then undefeated Xtreme Champion. Either way I an ready. He doesn’t stand a chance at beating me on Blood Zone.
He pauses reading a remark again. This time he looks surprised.
Jenny is someone that I’m not even putting a focus on. The end effect is I am beating you Eric. You will look up at me with my music playing. Hand raised in victory. I hope your ready. And I hope you bring the same Eric that Jenny Kay faced. I want you clear minded. With that, Eric I’ll see you in the ring. It seems several people believe you will take me down a few pegs. But I will show you along with the rest of GWL. See you soon Eric.
The Facebook Live comes to an end. Curtis seems mad from a few comments Eric’s fans had to say.
The scene opens with Eric wearing a T-shirt that says Mitchell and Tyler acknowledge us. He has worn down jeans with holes in his knee, his hands is taped and you can see from the sweat outlines on his shirt that he's been training. He has on some wrestling boots that you can see visible from underneath the legs of his jeans. Off in the distance you seen Dean Tyler taking a drink of his water he looks over at Curtis who is just beginning to cut his promo.
Eric make no mistake about it. I respect you. I realize you’re a Legend in the business. To be the best. You have to first defeat them. As far as teaming with you in GWL.
He pauses.
Talk to Bishop. He turned his back on me. He said I wasn’t stable enough. I’m to much of a while card. And make no mistake there either. I must be a mad man to team with Dean Tyler and go against the best the business has to offer. So far, Dean hasn’t given me a reason to turn on him. And like they say. If your not with us your against us. So while you have made it clear who you have with you. I know who will be ring side with you. The question remains. Will they watch you lose to me?
He gets closer to the camera.
Will you Bishop? Or will you come up to me and show me the respect I fucking deserve? Because we all know to stand in the ring with an Icon. That speaks for itself. Now Eric, I see which version I’m getting and the version that I was hoping for. Will I achieve the unthinkable here? Can I pin you? I’m excited for our match. And I’m giving it my all Eric. I’m asking the same for you. Give me all you got and give me some more. I want your blood. If you can collect mine then so be it.
He gathers his last thoughts.
And your remarks about Jenny. She is my next opponent. And it’s for her Title. Now if I have learned one thing it’s that I better be on my A game cause I plan of taking that Title home. As far as viewing you as enemies. At this point you are. Your my next opponent and my next victim. After this match we can. Shake hands if that’s what you want. Cause Eric I’ve looked up to you my entire childhood and early on in my career. One of two things will come out of this match. Either we shake hands. Win or lose. Or we become bitter rivals. I’m not cocky. I’m confident, I’m confident that I’ll push you farther than you ever been before. Whether or not I win or lose isn't the question cause see Eric I noticed something when it comes to you, you get a fixation on something and it doesn't let up. Your fixation on Brian Kennedy and The Empire and everything about them. It shows a character flaw with you Eric. And it’s a character flaw that I am willing to exploit to do the unimaginable. And that’s to beat a Legend. We have something in common. Neither of us have ever beaten Brian Kennedy.
He takes a glass from sitting at the office desk and he walks over to a little shelf in the corner that has various kinds of liquor and different bottles. He takes up amber collar liquid he takes a smell and pours two fingers worth in his glass.
Eric I don’t underestimate you. Not by any means, do I underestimate anybody that I’m going to be having as an opponent especially one that's highly decorated as yourself. What's funny to me is you take what I say and you misconstrue or you twist it into this thought in your head that I don’t like you. I view you and GWL as enemies you also think that just because we both hate Brian Kennedy and The Empire that we should somehow form an alliance well. It's not just me that you would have to convince to come to your side, it would be my partner Dean Tyler as well. I also see that that Platinum title cuts deep that’s the same title that Brian holds right now, so question is after we get done with our match are you going to call Brian out for the Platinum Title? Are you going to earn your shot at that title because me, myself, I have a date with Jenny K and that dates coming up quick. And when her and I are standing across the ring from each other there will be no love lost and I will do anything I can to obtain the Xtreme Title and move towards the Radical then finally the Platinum and Supreme Titles. You see Eric you’re not seeing the bigger picture here and why that offer that you’re offering me to join GWL well that’s a conversation for you and Bishop to have and then after you guys have your ducks in a row. Well you know my number you can reach me and Dean anytime make us an offer we can't refuse. Because it seems like there's a lot of tag teams among GWL and well we all can’t hold the tag team titles now can we? So with that said, Eric I’ll be looking forward to seeing you in our match and that match cannot come soon enough.
He pauses.
Believe the Hype.
