The scene opens up inside the private lounge of an airport. The room is very eloquent and well put together, a few leather couches and chairs arranged in different parts of the room with coffee tables put between them. As the camera pans around it zooms in on the one and only Doc Holiday. He is wearing a #11 New York Knicks jersey and blue designer jeans. His Luis Vuitton luggage sits in front of him as he sits there intently staring at his phone. Text Messages start to appear on the screen as he receives text message from someone
Lesley
"I don't know why you have to do a paternity test, Dante looks just like you"
Doc
"I'm not denying that he is or isn't, I just need to know for sure that he is my kid"
Lesley
"You're the only one that I slept with other than my husband"
Doc
"You're sure it's not his?"
Lesley
"It would make sense if he wasn't white"
Doc
"OK, fair enough, but you're not the first person that has pulled this on me to try and get money from me."
Lesley
"We don't need money. Kraig is a doctor at the Children's hospital and I'm also a nurse at the Children's hospital. So we do pretty good for ourselves"
Doc
"So what's the point then?
Lesley
"I just thought you might want to be in Dante's life."
Doc
"I do want to be part of his life, but I can't get invested if it turns out he is not my son."
Lesley
"I understand"
Doc
"If I can be completely honest, it happened one time when I was just starting out my MMA career. It damn near broke me and I never want to have to feel that way again. To have something you love so much turn out not yours"
Lesley
"I'm sorry that happened, but you don't have to be their biological father to still be their dad."
Doc
"I still take care of them, but I don't deal with it much. The pain is too much for me"
Lesley
"I understand. I also understand you wanting to know for sure."
Doc
"It was nerve racking to have to ask you to do it. I hope by explaining myself that you get where I'm coming from."
Lesley
"I'm glad you explained it to me. It makes me feel like you're at least human."
Doc
"Does he know? Have you said anything to him about this?"
Lesley
"No, we haven't said anything. We didn't know how you would react to all this"
Doc
"I won't rush anything, we'll go by what you think is best for him. I can tell you guys take very good care of him. I wouldn't want to fuck him up, by just showing up"
Lesley
"I appreciate your thoughtfulness, we'll be watching you this Sunday. He is your biggest fan, don't go and mess that up! Good luck!
Doc
"Thank you."
FADE TO BLACK!
The scene opens up inside the private jet owned by AW Superstar, Doc Holiday. He sits on what appears to be the couch type seat by the window. He is dressed a little differently than before, he is now wearing something a little more familiar, something standard for him. The custom fitted Black Armani suit with a red flowing tie and his signature Aviator sunglasses. He stares at the clouds as they pass by. Taking it all in as he begins to speak, his eyes still looking out the window.
"Last year at Evolution VI, I took an L that shook me and really made me reconsider everything about what I wanted to be. It was my first setback of many I would face here. I know my faults and I know things don't always work like I want them to, but I never give up, even when the setback is what seems insurmountable. What a difference a year makes though.
Turning towards the camera now.
This year I'm competing in probably one of the greatest tag team matches that has ever been put together in Action Wrestling! Of course I'm talking about the Thunderdome Match. I know people are wondering what in the fuck a Thunderdome match even is. Well picture this, a Hell in the Cell, Tables, Ladders, Chairs, Barbwire, chaos, mayhem, and BLOOD! Oh and did I mention I truly never thought that I would be so intrigued by hardcore matches, but then again, Downfall only has himself to blame! See there's just something about being able to beat your opponent into oblivion without refs and security storming the ring, really satisfies that primal instinct inside of everyone! Something about the Post-Apocalyptic, futuristic, man versus machine theme that also makes this so much fun. Trust me, we're gonna have some FUN at Evolution"
Grabbing the lowball glass of bourbon from the cupholder near him and taking a drink before setting it back down.
First order of business is this rag tag team called eNVy. Let me say how 'cute' your little name is that you came up with. Did y'all come up with that on your own or did you let AI generate it for you? Never mind Karlie is too old to learn how to use that and Ves got lost in the 80s with Stevie Nicks. Thunder only happens when it's raining, and I'll be raining down fists on your dome, Ves! Damn that was fucking corny, but I was on a roll. Unlike either of your singles careers, but everything's alright though you're a 'team' now.
I swear sometimes management goes 'Hey, what if we take two people who are amazing at talent enhancing and team them up?', that's what you get when you put Karlie and Ves together. I mean sure you had a run with the Cruiserweight Tag Titles, but they got those fucking things out of a crackerjack box. Who did you have to beat? Or did you just have to show up to claim your 'prize'? Nevertheless, when you had to defend them against an actual team you folded like a towel. The reason Jonny and I will beat you on Sunday comes down to the fact that we are both successful singles wrestlers, had title reigns with prestigious titles, and have a burning desire to become the best at whatever we do. We want those tag titles and you can say that you do too, but you don't say it with enough conviction. It's almost as if you're just saying it to be cool, but trust me saying things and doing things are two different things. Like right now, I'm saying get off the tracks, because a fucking FREIGHT TRAIN is coming through!
Pausing for a moment Doc gathers his thoughts on his next opponents
The mighty Draugr, I feel like I always start out by calling you that, but truthfully, what has been so mighty about you? You've shown that you have so many chinks in your armor. it's almost as if you're...human? Which is what I've said all along, you're nothing more than a man, behind a mask, acting invincible, when all you are is someone too afraid to face the world outside. You let the mask shelter you and your insecurities. Now that you're vulnerable, you make your granddaughter vulnerable as well. You can't protect her anymore, because you no longer control your destiny. She's trained with some decent fighters, but let's face it, you were the one that dictated the match and if she could help, that was great. However, now you have to face me and Jonny, two of Action Wrestling's best. Let's not even mention eNVy, because honestly they're lucky to be in this match. It's two on one and you couldn't handle me last time, and you expect baby girl to be able to hold her own? Maybe against old ass Karlie, but your time has come friend. I'll say this to dear, Lexi, heed my warning, go find a nice place to hide and maybe you'll survive, but If you try to get involved, it's not going to end well. Jonny and I both have what many consider the 'It" factor, and now that we have combined forces, it means that you will meet your demise. You had a good run, your Papa gave you something that you can put on your resume, but that's as far as it goes. Now the competition gets harder and you don't have the experience needed to be successful against the caliber of wrestlers myself. So take that title and give it one more squeeze real tight, tell it that you love it, because after Evolution, it will be going around my waist where it truly belongs. You've bitten off more than you can chew and Papa can't save you once the door locks, we're in the THUNDERDOME NOW BITCH, no place to run, and no place to hide, because...THIS IS WAR!!!
FADE TO BLACK!
