“So, Mr Kuechly, I am glad that you decided to come and see me this week” We hear a voice in the darkness say. “I prefer to be called Killer” we hear another voice say, this voice seems a lot more familiar and one the fans will be very familiar with. The light is turned on and we see Killer Kuechly sat on a chair. Opposite him, an unfamiliar man is sat and seems to be writing down some notes. “Is that Killa? Like with an a? Or is it Killer with a hard er?” the man enquires. “Shout out Big John Frost because it’s a hard er” Lincoln quips back and looks very happy with himself following that comment. “Moving on, let’s get down to business. Why are you here? Why are you seeing me today?” the man asks, probing Killer Kuechly for an answer. “I want to be the best wrestler to ever live” Lincoln responds with a bit of a stutter in his voice indicating that he isn’t fully comfortable speaking about this. “That’s great but how are you possibly going to get there? It’s not an easy task to achieve.” the man says back to Killer Kuechly. “I just don’t know. That is why I am here. I really have no idea how I am going to be the man that I want to be. I have struggled for a long time with achieving my one goal and I just can’t figure out how to achieve it. I have tried everything, I have throw everything I have at it and I just can’t become the best” Lincoln pours his heart out to the man and frantically looks for a response. “It’s just not that easy, Killer. It’s not that simple to become the best and to perfect your craft. Self-improvement is comparable to construction, it takes a long time and it takes work a daily basis to improve yourself to the level you want to be. The man explains to Killer Kuechly. “I want to be the best now though. I want to be at the top of this company. I want to be the top dog. I want a World Championship, I want validation that everything I have put into this is worth it. I want the recognition that I am the best” Killer Kuechly keeps on pouring all of his emotions out and is looking for a response. “You just don’t get it. I don’t think anything I tell you right now is going to help you get it. You need to find this answer out for yourself. You need to get it by yourself. Once you understand, come back to me.” The man explains. “What do you mean it? I don’t understand” Killer Kuechly asks puzzled. “Goodbye Killer, I will see you know when you understand” The man says before getting up and exiting the room. This leaves Killer Kuechly with a confused look on his face. He then holds his head in his hands and seems to be stressing out.

The scene opens up with a shot of a park. It appears to be Hyde Park which is located in London, England. It is a cold winter’s morning and there is a little bit of frost covering the park. The trees are dotted with little white spots and there doesn’t seem to be a soul apart. This isn’t very common for such a busy public area in a massive city, this indicates that it must be very early in the morning. We can hear a few birds chirping but that is about all the noise that can be heard right now. The camera then pans down to a brown bench, at the end of the bench a man is sat down with his head in his hands. He is wrapped up well to keep himself warm in this cold weather. He then lifts his head up and it reveals that it is Killer Kuechly. He takes a deep sigh before he begins to speak.
I just don’t know how to do it. How can I ever become the best when I have no idea how to become it? I have tried since I stepped into this company to become the top dog. I’ve always dreamed of being the poster boy, the one on the merchandise, the man that everyone wanted to be. Every since I was a little boy, growing up in this very city I sit in right now, I just wanted to be the best at what I did. It’s a harsh realization that becoming the best at such a competitive thing is incredibly difficult and something that I am going to find very difficult to achieve. There is a lot of talent in this company alone, nevermind the entire wrestling industry. Just take a look at my group of friends in this company. Spencer Adams, Kyle Kemp, Andre Aquarius. Three men who are all better than me and that are closer to the top that I am. They are all a hell of a lot closer to be calling the best than I am. How do I possibly put myself in a position where I can actually lay claim to being called the best? I am just so far away from where I want to be right now. I am not even in touching distance of the end goal. It is so far away that I can’t even envisage being in that position. How am I supposed to reach the top floor when I can’t even get in the door? It’s an incredibly difficult task that I just don’t know how to solve.
Killer Kuechly takes a second to collect his thoughts. A little wry smile then appears on his face. He then steps up from the bench. He seems to have a lot more conviction and confidence right now. He then begins to speak again.
For what I may lack in knowledge of solving my issues, I will make up for in determination and ambition. Even throughout all of these issues, I will not give up. I will not falter, I will achieve my goals. I may not know how to achieve them but I am going to do it. Just look at last week for an example, even through my own trials and tribulations I was able to secure a victory on Clash. Even with me battling these demons, I was able to rise up and use my determination to guide me to victory. I am proud of myself or that. I am happy with what I was able to achieve, and I want to do the same exact thing this week. Even through these issues, I need to suck it up and make sure I put my all into my matches every single week. I need to prove to everyone what I can do. I have an incredible opportunity being able to show to the world what I can do every week on CBS. That is a huge audience that I am able to showcase my skills too, there are a hell of a lot of wrestlers in this world who would kill for that opportunity. I have been blessed and I need to capitalise on this opportunity. I thought I did that quite well last week and I am going to continue that this week. For those who aren’t aware, I will be facing up against Alexander Pasternak in a submission match this week on Clash. This is a huge opportunity. This is a monumental opportunity to truly prove what kind of talent I have. This is a chance to bring down a member of the Beachkrew down and hurt his fragile ego. Every match needs to be wrestled as if it is your last match, that is a new motivation that I am using to ensure that I give my all in every match. I will be the first to admit that there were quite a few matches last year that I may have phoned it in. I may have not given my all and I have been punished for that. I have struggled due to that. I made myself a promise that it wouldn’t happen anymore. I will give my all in every single match that I have. This match in particular means a lot more to me. Following what the Beachkrew have done since they arrived in this company, it has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. The trouble that they have caused and the headaches they have led FightSmart to have, it frustrates me and gives me some motivation to get revenge. I want to make Alexander Pasternak tap out just like I did Apex last week. Hearing his hand hit that canvas to signal he is tapping out will feed me that motivation that I need. Knowing that I have beaten a Beachkrew member will push me on to do better. It will push me on to be the best. I can fucking do this.
I don’t know how but I will be the best. Mark my words.
Killer Kuechly then walks away from the bench as the camera fades to black.
