[Jake Cruder]

The cameras begin to roll inside the C.T.H.D. Clubhouse where Jake Cruder along with his brother Max Cruder, Blake Thompson, Riley Huntley and Myles Downs are inside as Jake is shown talking to his brothers in arms about tonight’s match he has against K.C. Davies.

Jake: Tonight is this new guy’s debut against me on Monday Night WAR so how about we give him an old C.T.H.D. welcome by surrounding him around the ring and punking him out as he will be very on the edge of his seat, thinking that one of you will interfere in the match but in reality, you’re just watching it like the rest of the WXW Universe just from a closer seat than they can ever get.

Max: Bro, you need to not take this guy too lightly because that’s what overconfidence is and trust me, I know first hand that’s not a good thing to come into a match with when you’re just fighting someone for the first time ever in the company.

Jake: You’re right bro, that’s why I have been watching old tapes of his that I could find on the internet and so I’ve been brushing up my skills and thinking of ways to counter his moves but it’s always different when you’re in there in person rather than just being somewhere watching a tape of a person.

Blake Thompson: Jake, you’re the leader of this group because you’ve taught us a lot in this business so I know that you’re not going to let this kid come and psych you out and get into your head so you need to get your body and mind on the same page otherwise you’re easy pickings for this new guy.

Jake: I’m almost there connecting my mind and my body so I’ll be prepared for when I step into that ring against him. He has a great arsenal of moves that he uses but then so do I and we’ll exactly who can outlast who and who can outshine who because he’s a high-flier boys and I always like to ground high-fliers and maybe we’ll see exactly how he’ll fair against someone like me who is a bit of a high-flier and brawler and technical wrestler when we lock up in the middle of that ring.

Riley: You’re not really that much of a high-flier but you’re a smash mouth fighter so you might want to use your own advantages rather than sub coming to his and then he takes you out in flashy style because you’re in his element and not the other way around like you should be doing to him once that bell rings to start the match.

Jake: Once that bell rings, he’s going to want to wish that he can back out of the match but it’ll be too late for that because I’m going to destroy him in there from pillar to post because this is not my debut match for World Xtreme Wrestling and its weekly show of Monday Night WAR but it’s his so he’s going to try and impress the WXW management in order for them to give him any title shot that he can pull out whether it’s against the Xtreme Champion Vicious X-Terminator, International Champion Andrew Ryder or even if he’s so lucky to face off against WXW World Heavyweight Champion Robert Saints.

Myles: Tonight is his debut that’s right but it’s another chance for you to show yourself to the WXW management as well for them to see that you too deserve to get shots at the champions here in WXW and that they’re not all thrones that can’t be reached by those who try their best to win matches and move up in the rankings for the championship opportunities.

Jake: That’s true, I never thought of it like that before but I am now thanks to your insight into the rankings, I’m not sure exactly where we stand in terms of the rankings for the tag team championship now that Lincoln Morgan are the new tag team champions but we must be close, I’m feeling and tonight when I beat K.C. Davies in the middle of that ring, it’ll help me move one more rung closer to a championship match here in WXW.

All five members of C.T.H.D. exit the Clubhouse and heads for the ring as “Bar Room Brawl/Protection” by Jim Johnston plays over the arena.

The five members of C.T.H.D. make their way through the crowd and then slither into the ring where Jake Cruder stands in the middle as the other four members stand in each of the turnbuckles as they look facing the entrance ramp waiting for the entrance of K.C. Davies.

The show takes a commercial break for sponsors and advertisers of World Xtreme Wrestling and its weekly show of Monday Night WAR.

Off Camera 

(The scene opens up with K.C. Davies walking hand in hand with his fiancé, Jenna Cole, down a quiet road, early in the morning.)

“Are you nervous?”

(Jenna asks as she gently squeezes his hand.)

“Huh? About what?”

“Everything.”

(She smirks.)

“Mainly your new job.”

(He shrugged a bit.)

“You know? I’m not as nervous as you’d think. I mean, yeah, there’s some butterflies but… I’m more excited about it, more than anything else. I’ve always been comfortable in front of large crowds so…"

(He chuckled.)

“Where is your first match?”

“It’s in Iowa.”

“When is it?”

“Monday.”

(She looks over at him out of the corner of her eye.)

“I’ll book a flight.”

“What was that little look for?”

“I just wish you told me sooner. Here it is already Saturday.”

“I know. Sorry about that. Just with everything going on, it kinda slipped my mind… Won’t happen again babe, I promise.”

(She nods.)

“It’s fine. I’ll let is slide because I know you have a lot on your mind.”

(He leans over, kissing her on the cheek.)

“Thanks. I love you.”

(That makes her smile and she winks at him.)

“You are so lucky that I can’t stay mad at you or your face.”

(He laughs.)

“What can I say? I was blessed with a naturally un-hateable face.”

(She laughs with him.)

“God, I love you Batdude.”

“Well with the wedding 2 weeks away, I sure hope so Batgirl.”

(He smirks, playfully bumping her with his shoulder.)

“You’ll do for now.”

(She gives his hand another squeeze, her way of saying “I love you” without saying a word.)

“I’m excited for your first match, baby.”

“I'm glad that you're going to be there for it. It's a huge moment in my life and I can't think of anyone I'd rather be by my side for it, than you.”

“Yeah. You are driving back with me.”

“Absolutely. I planned on it. There's no way I'd let you make the trip, both ways, by yourself. I already hate it enough as it is that you have to drive up to Iowa, from Florida, on your own.”

“Hey, I’ll be fine. I gotta leave late tonight.”

(She frowns.)

“That way I can get there by Sunday night. First I‘ll book your flight.”

“Thanks. I appreciate it. When I land, I’ll call you and give you all of the info on what hotel we’ll be staying at and stuff like that.”

“No need.”

“Why not?”

“I am booking the hotel. So no sneaking in women.”

(She winks at him.)

“Damn, you figured out my master plan.”

(He laughs, bringing her hand up and kissing the back of it. She smirks a bit.)

“You know, it would be the last thing you ever do right?”

(She smiles, ever so sweetly at him. He couldn’t help but laugh a bit more.)

“Oh I know it would be. I ain’t that stupid.”

(She chuckles and walks a little closer to him, hugging on his arm.)

“What about you? Are you ready to go out there as my manager? I know this is going to be something completely new for you.”

(She nods a bit.)

“Yes I am. I just hope I can do a good enough job for you.”

(He leaned over, kissing the side of her head.)

“You’re going to do just fine.”

“I’m glad you think so.”

(She chuckles nervously.)

“Don’t worry about it. All I need is your words of encouragement and I’ll be good. And maybe cheat a little to help me win.”

(He laughs.)

“Kidding, of course.”

(She chuckles and nudges him some.)

“You better be kidding… I’ll have to hurt you.”

(She winks at him and he raises an eyebrow a bit.)

“Oh? Are you going to spank me if I be a bad boy?”

(He couldn’t help but smirk. She smiles back.)

“I just might. Just not the way you want me to.”

(He laughs again.)

“Damn.”

(He looks down at his watch.)

“We should probably get back and start getting ready for the trip to Iowa.”

“Yeah.”

(She sighs.)

“Like I said, I gotta leave tonight.”

(She frowned some.)

“I’ll miss you.. But yeah, lets head back.”

“I’ll miss you too babe. I’ll make sure to make it up to you for a nice night out, after the show.”

(He smiles at her and she smiles back, as they turn the corner and start to head back to their place.)

On Camera 

(The scene opens up inside of a bathroom. We hear water running and the shower curtain is closed. Soon, the water stops and a hand reaches out, grabbing a towel. The curtain opens and out steps one of WXW’s newest signings, “The White Delight”, K.C. Davies. He looks up and jumps.)

“Jesus, when I told you guys to get here early, I didn’t expect you to be THIS early… Or in my hotel bathroom.”

(He shakes his head a bit.)

“Anyways, a big shout out to everyone out in WXW land that’s watching this. It’s ya boy, the new kid on the block, the one that rocks ya socks, the one who brings the fight, the one and only… “White Delight.”… K.C. Davies. And I’m ready to start a journey, okay? A journey beyond where I’ve been… A journey to a new path. The path of being a true professional wrestler. A path… To WXW.

Now, I want to let it be known, this isn’t going to be a fluke, this isn’t going to be a one time deal where K.C. Davies shows up in WXW, gets beat up, takes his ball and goes home, never to be seen again. I’m coming to WXW to make a name for myself. And I want to let everyone in WXW know… That I’m not a joke. I may crack jokes. I may smile and laugh. But I’m not a joke.

Yeah, I’m not even 6 feet tall. Yeah, I don’t even weight 200 pounds. But you know what? I’m only 21 years old. My career is just beginning, my LIFE is just beginning. This is my debut match. I’m engaged to the only woman I’ve ever loved, with a wedding coming up in 2 weeks. I’ve signed a contract with WXW 3 times larger than anything I ever expected to see as a rookie who has no prior experience anywhere in this industry. I’m rolling on a wave of momentum, in life, and there’s nothing that’s stopping me right now.

Which brings me to you, Jake Cruder. See, you’re like a lot of my critics, I’m sure. I’m willing to bet that you’re going to pick me apart. Try to dissect me, to build more confidence in yourself by talking yourself up and talking me down. I’m willing to bet that you’re going to critique me as much as you possibly can, to point out my flaws and weaknesses. But let me tell you something, Jake. That’s not the road you want to go down. The road you want to go down is the road that I’m going down now. You want to go down the road that K.C. Davies is going to be on a year from now. 5 years from now. 10 years from now. Because the people traveling the road that you’re traveling now, are going to hit a major roadblock this week when I step in the ring a prove them wrong. The road I’m traveling? There’s nothing but an empty highway that stretches as far as the human eye can see with no potholes or roadblocks in sight. And that road, starts on Monday.

Now Jake, I know about you. I know about your crew. And I know there’s a good chance this match ends up a little one-sided because of the numbers, if you know what I mean. But that doesn’t scare me. That doesn’t intimidate me. I’ve come too far to be intimidated and scared away by a pack of thugs. My whole life, I’ve always been the smaller dog in the fight. So that doesn’t phase me one bit. Because this small dog packs a mean bite. Something that you’re going to find out first hand. And trust me, if any of your goon squad wants to get in my match? If they want to stick their nose in my business?”

(He chuckles a bit, pulling his wet hair back behind his ears.)

“I won’t be afraid to bite them, too. Because “The White Delight” isn’t afraid of anybody. Cocky? No. Arrogant? I don’t think so. Stupid? Maybe. Confident? You’re damn right.”

(He smirks, as he walks out of the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and the scene fades to black.)
