The Narrative

[GreggG]

(CUT TO: Troy Windham, his hair freshly frosted, sits on the deck of his South Beach parlor, overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway.)

TROY: "Now it's official. NOW THIS THING MEANS SOMETHING. Because I have arrived. Troy Windham. The EPITOME OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING."

(Troy smirks and winces in pain.)

TROY: "Now, I don't have a lot of time left. When I was 20-years-old and made my debut, I said my goal was not to win a title. It was not even to win MANY titles. It was to be hailed as THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Any look at my resume will tell anyone -- no matter how simple -- that I am indeed what I've said I've been all along. I am better than the best. I am the top dog. I am the alpha. I am the name in the lights. I am the I am everything everyone's heard about all these years... and I'm still underrated."

(Troy leans back on the deck.)

TROY: "People have always slept at what I do in the ring, and that's fine, because after all these years I still catch people by surprise. But what NO ONE can deny is my ability to frame a story. I have always found a way to make EVERYTHING about me. I steal the show. That's what I've always done. That's what I do today. And that's what I'll do even when I've been buried. Because I discovered a long time ago something that only a handful of people realize. Marketing yourself and making yourself big matters a hell of a lot more than knowing 35,000 Japanese armbar reversals. I know how to talk to the fans. I know how to manipulate the wrestling media. And I'm doing that again, right now."

(Troy stretches his neck.)

TROY: "Here's the narrative of this year's Ultratitle -- I don't have a lot of time left as an active wrestler. I've had countless surgeries on my neck. I've had spinal fusion. One bad fall, and the chances of me ending up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life go up exponentially. I am already, clearly, the greatest of all-time. But right now, I am in this to SET THE BAR to impossible levels. Because the one thing that has eluded my grasp... the one thing that I have not been able to capture all these years... is The Ultratitle."

(Troy once again rolls his neck.)

TROY: "Here's the story of the tournament, guys. This is my last chance to win that thing. This is my last chance to cement, in stone forever, my place as The Epitome of this industry. I don't WANT the Ultratitle. I NEED the Ultratitle. And my pursuit of that title... the narrative of Troy's Last Chance... is the ONLY narrative arc anyone's going to care about. PERIOD."

(Cut to: new 19 year old female masked lucha libra rookie rising star from the IWF-International Wrestling Federation, "Latina Fire" Go-Go Spectacular stands in front of the banner backstage.)

Go-Go Spectacular: 20 years ago, the CSWA bore witness to history in the making when Troy Windham set foot in this pretigious tournement and since then you legacy tells. You have won countless championships all around the world and beaten many big named opponents time and again. You have made history and it says it all.

But there is just one problem. I was born 20 years ago. I am just now coming into this business and set to make my debut in this tournement at the tender ripe young age of-you guessed it 19 years old. Beating out your record Troy and that's just the beginning Troy. I am gonna do a lot more than just that. I know that this tournament won't be easy. This will test me and push but most importantly it will drive me to see this through the finish line and when it is all said and done I will be winner and the 2012 Ultratitle champion, The Latina Fire Go-Go Spectacular.

So where I am I getting at Troy. Simply put. I am taking the initiative and I am calling YOU out right out of the gate Troy. I am challenging you of all people. I know that this is a little rash and brash of a move. It is very bold. It won't be easy but I am all about shocking the world and surprising everybody when I pin you to the mat. So get ready Troy because you're era, your legacy, your day is fast coming to an end. The next generation is fast approaching and I am leading the charge.

See ya real soon Troy Windham.

GOP: Ms. Spectacular, first off, may I please see your papers? I am severely doubting that someone like you, a poor, Mexican woman with no discernible job skills whatsoever, could have come over the border legally.

Secondly, Troy, no one likes to see a codger past his prime trying to reclaim past glories. Your time was in '96... 1896, back when the Bull Moose wasn't even a twinkle in Teddy Roosevelt's eye. I may disagree with Barack HUSSEIN Obama on a lot of issues, but I quite like the idea of death panels that his Obamacare has come up with. I think you'd be a prime candidate for mandatory extermination. Seriously, I've stumped for the reduction of free money for old folks like you from the government my entire career. I think I have to do things the hard way in your case though.

It'll be really fun, though.

Orphan: Aww, this is absolutely adorable! It's The Phantom Republican and his target audience, a delusional middle-aged white man! I'll leave Troy alone, though. It's not nice to disrespect one's elders. Besides, he's at least relevant, sort of. Powell? You're as relevant as your hate-mongering grey-haired thuggish party is. Bush has been out of office for four years, thank Yevon.

Now run off home to your taped Ronald Reagan speeches, or you're going to get hurt by actual competition.

GOP: Don't you have cartoons of tentacles raping school girls to watch, boy? Ooh, that's another thing to do, eliminate pornography and lascivious entertainment from the face of the earth. Thank you for the reminder, and try not to murder anyone in the style of your video games on the way home from the arena, okay snookums?
