Scene: One
Scene Title: Another One Bites The Dust
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada.
Where: MGN Grand Arena
When: November 28th 2007

The scene opens up inside of the MGN Grand Arena in it’s backstage area. PWE crew members are going about their business as the show rolls on. In the background from ringside Shelton Benjamin’s theme music “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me Now” by Jim Johnston is heard playing after gaining his second victory in his second match here in PWE. Just then he comes out of the gorilla position, big smile on his face and with his arm around his momma’s shoulder.

::: Momma B ::: That‘s right baby…one more match done takin’ care of and one more victory under you belt. Your showing me exactly what I wanted from you, and proving to everybody world wide that the beginning of your music isn’t just some silly lil’ catchphrase…

::: Shelton B ::: You know it…There ain‘t no stoppin’ me. Ain’t no body in the locker room can or will. Not that I needed to but if anyone needed more proof that I’m for real then that match was it. I just whooped six other men in one match to pick up another win, even after my partner got switched from MVP to the guy who was supposed to be one of the opponents Robert Roode and speakin’ of Roode I know you saw the way his CEO, Ms. Brooks was lookin’ at me practically picturing me buck naked.

::: Momma B ::: Of course she liked what she saw, my baby’s a handsome man but uh huh boy pay no mind to that little hussy if I’ve told you once I’ve told you a thousand times. These women ain’t nothing’ but a damn distraction for you, and I need you one hundred percent focused if you want to achieve your goals here. Besides how many times have I done told you the only woman you need is your momma. But speakin’ of Roode and his little hoochie I want you to go find them and shake hands with the boy….

::: Shelton B ::: But Momma I thought you didn’t like Robert ?

::: Momma B ::: I don’t like the way he treats women he a disrespectful boy but that doesn’t change the fact he had you back out there tonight and I rasied you to be grateful boy so lets go find him and show him our gratitude and be the goods sports man I know my baby is.

The two of them head of down the hallway in search of Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks as the scene fades out.

Scene: Two
Scene Title: Ol' School Whoopin'
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Where: University Arena
When: December 10th, 2007

Somewhere in the backstage area of the University Arena is a private dressing room set up for a scheduled interview between PWE broadcast team member Todd Grisham and Shelton Benjamin. In the room Todd is reading over his questions one more time while waiting for Shelton to show up. Just then there’s a knock on the door, the door opens and in walks Shelton drinking a chilled bottle of water and dressed in a black T-shirt and red basketball shorts and a pair of Jordans on his feet. He takes the seat next to Todd, takes one last sip from the bottle before placing it at his feet. The two men shake hands and the interview gets underway.



::: Todd G ::: Well Shelton I’d like to thank you for taking time out to talk to me here I know you‘ve got a match to be getting ready fro later tonight so I won’t take up too much of your time.

::: Shelton B ::: It‘s no problem dawg, my momma‘s sends her regards and is sorry that she can‘t be here with me but she’s taking care a business.

::: Todd G ::: That fine, Now getting down to business. I guess first things first how do you feel that your career is going so far here in PWE.

::: Shelton B ::: It’s going exactly how I planned it. Only three weeks into it and I’ve already proven that I’m not going to be the same pushover, the same superstar that got over looked so many times for the bigger guys in the business who got the pushes that I most certainly deserved. Every fan worldwide and everyone else involved in this business knows I was the most underrated superstar in the WWE. But that’s not how it’s goin’ to go down here in PWE. Brand new place brand new attitude and the beginning of what I’m now calling the Shelton Benjamin era. I’m making the whole of the PWE locker room on take notice and to all the boys wearing straps, You’ve all got something I want and when the time comes and I decide I want to take what you have it’ll only be a matter of time before I do.

::: Todd G ::: You’ve certainly shown that in the past few weeks ever since you beat the Intercontinental champion Jack Evans in your debut. It seems that all your interested in his taking the championship away from him, did something happen between the two of you that we didn’t see fr ou to have what I can only call so much hatred for Evans ?

::: Shelton B ::: No everyone saw it at Halloween Havoc. That little punk disrespected me and my momma, and that’s just not something you just don’t do. So right then and there he basically sealed his own fate in that very moment and practically kissed his strap goodbye then and there. He’s been dodging me ever since totally ignoring that fact the challenge has been laid down. I’ve already done it once and I know I can beat him again anytime…anywhere just bring that strap and get ready to kiss it good bye.



::: Todd G ::: Alright I guess my next question, now that your three weeks into your PWE career and your two and 0 what do you think your chances or of making it three and 0 in your match up tonight against Steve Corino and Santino Marella tonight ?

::: Shelton B ::: Are you kiddin’ me Todd. What are my chances of leaving Albuquerque with yet another win under my belt. My chances are damn high if you ask me Todd. These two and just another two speed bumps on my road to Intercontinental gold around my waist.

::: Todd G ::: Ok, No wI know you ned to get ready so lastly…your opponents. They’ve already commented on your match up tonight, your reactions to their comments, first Santino



::: Shelton B ::: Santino Marella, the walkin’ Italian stereotype. Hooked back up with his girl Maria here in PWE and got all the confidence in the word that goes along with havin’ a beautiful girl by your side but I think he’s gone a confused confidence with pure stupidity. See Marella you can come out and try to impress Maria by singing all the little cute songs you want to but you gone done something that you shouldn’t have. You brought my momma into things and just like Jack Evans before you you’ll learn that isn’t a wise decision. Yeah I walk around here with my momma but in this business you need someone who’s there for you and not themselves there to help you and not stab you in the back, someone you trust more than anyone in the world and fo m it’s my momma. But let’s make one thing very clear, she’s not fighting my battles, I fight my own damn battles and tonight in that ring your goin’ to experinse that first hand when I whoop you from pillar to post and I’ll make you wish you never left Milan. As far as you bein’ the better athlete, the better wrestler and the bigger man…don’t make me laugh. Look up the word athlete in the dictionary and right next to it is a picture of me, better wrestler, please there ain’t no one and I mean no one who’s as much a of well oiled machine in that ring like me. And as far as being the bigger man…I’ll tell you what I told Hogan last week, once they go black they don’t ever go back.

::: Todd G ::: and finally Corino’s comments.

::: Shelton B ::: Steve Cornio…Cornio your damn right about one thing I am without a doubt young and in the prime of my career I’ve beaten big names in this business…some of the biggest names there is to beat. Another thing you’re right about, I’ve never beat you, never been given the chance to beat you because while I was back in WWE on Smackdown and Raw I was there beating those big names meanwhile you, well you was beating a whole list of nobody’s. But tonight I get my chance to something I haven’t done and that’s beat you and beat you is exactly what I’m going to do. You can bitch on about how you can’t retire because of people like me being the future of this business, let me tell you this. I’m not the future of this business and the present of this industry. Tonight theirs is going to be an old school whoopin’ but it’s you who’s going to be on the opposite end of it. An old school whoopin’ the likes of which my momma used to give me and the fact that you think that you can give me a bigger beatin’ than my momma ever has then you clearly haven’t been caught by an angry three hundred and fifty pound black woman who’s been chasin’ you around wieldin’ a belt at you. As you said you seen a lot in your years in professional wrestling and tonight your going to see one more thing, the roof of the University Arena after you’ve felt a T-bone suplex and I’m pinnin’ you to the mat for the 1..2..3. Proving once again that there truly…AIN’T NOW STOPPIN’ ME NOW!

::: Todd G ::: Thanks for taking the time to talk with me and good luck in your match later tonight.

::: Shelton B ::: I don’t need luck, luck’s for losers and Shelton Benjamin ain’t no loser.

Shelton getting up from his seat picks up his bottle of water and disappears out of sight o fthe camera as the scene fades out to black and PWE goes to a commercial break.

Scene: Three
Scene Title: Impact! 3 - 0 Baby
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Where: University Arena
When: December 10th, 2007

The scene opens once again the backstage area of the University Arena. Where Shelton Benjamin and his momma are in the cafeteria area of the building. Shelton is busy tucking into some food his momma had prepared from him from the cafeteria choices. Watching her son eating like some starving Ethiopian kid Momma Benjamin can’t help but smile to herself glad to see her boy enjoying his food.

::: Momma B ::: Is that good baby…?

::: Shelton B ::: Uh huh

::: Momma B ::: Boy don’t speak with your mouth full.

::: Shelton B ::: Sorry Momma.

::: Momma B ::: That’s all right baby, I’m just glad your enjoying your food, does my heart good to see it, Not ass good as your Momma’s home cookin’ though is it ?

::: Shelton B ::: Nuh uh…nothin’ beats my momma’s cookin.’

::: Momma B ::: That‘s right. Now baby you know what‘s just round the corner don‘t you ?

Looking around him…

::: Shelton B ::: No momma, what is ?

::: Momma B ::: Boy I’m talking about Christmas…It’s just over two weeks away you know. And I want to know if there’s anything you want from your Momma for it.

::: Shelton B ::: Momma the only thing I want more than anything in this world is to be PWE Intercontinental. All I want for Christmas is the chance to make you more proud of me than you are already by becoming Intercontinental champion and the bonus gift of that is that I’d finally be done with Jack Evans and be able to concentrate of being IC Champion for a long time to come.

::: Momma B ::: Well I guess Momma will just have to see what she can do to make that Christmas wish come true, won’t she. Now eat up you got a busy night ahead of you and you need keep your strength up.

SOME TIME LATER…

With the PWE cameras rolling the scene opens inside the University Arena in Albuquerque, New Mexico where PWE has so far been delivering yet another exciting nights worth of action that the company has quickly become famous for. Then from over the PA System “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me Now” begins to play and moments later from behind the curtain walks a lone Shelton Benjamin.



Leaping up onto the ring apron Shelton wastes no time in getting into the ring and collecting the microphone from Lillian Garcia and begins to address the matters on his mind that have brought him down to the ring.



::: Shelton B ::: Tonight after two weeks of straight victories over current waste of space Intercontinental champion Jack Evans in my debut match and just last week with the T-bone suplex I slammed the man who was supposed to be my partner in the four corners tag match and pined him for the 1..2..3. Which now brings me here tonight in this dump of a place you people call “The Duke City” looking for a challenge in my third match. And yet again I’m sorely disappointed after arriving at the arena to find out that I’ll be taking part in a triple threat match against Steve Corino and Santino Marella. STEVE CORINO and SANTINO MARELLA another just another two nobody’s standing in the way of what I really want and deserve after beating the Intercontinental champion. Anywhere else I’d have got my shot by now but it appears the people that have the powers to make things happen are trying to keep the black man down. But there’s only so long you can keep me down I’ll just keep coming out to the ring one match after another, with one victory after another and sooner or later, probably later judging by the people in charge here I will get my shot at you Jack, there’s only so long you can duck and doge me Evans the inevitable will happen and I will take your strap from you. But as far as tonight goes I guess I’m just going to have to do what I said I would and continue my winning ways.

::: Shelton B ::: Now as I said, tonight I step into this ring for a triple threat match against Steve Corino and Santino Marella and I’ll get to you Marella in good time but first off I want to concentrate on you Corino. You’re a man known my many names in this industry. “The King of Old School" "The Old School Hero" "The King of Kings" just to name three of them. But from what I’ve seen… best I can figure you’ve clearly got deluded self image of yourself because from what I’ve seen you’re a King all right…“The King Of Bingo Halls.” Come on man after thirteen yeas in this business and your still at the bottom of the barrel. Thirteen years of working on the independent circuit I don’t know how you managed it Corino working your ass of day in day out and getting absolutely nowhere. Sure you saw a lot of the world, Japan, Germany, Great Britain and a whole lot more I’m sure. But you know we are doing that in the big leagues now Steve we’re world wide we go everywhere these days that’s why I never really understood you turning down the WWE’s offer to you when ECW flopped like so many of the other promotions you where a part of did.

::: Shelton B ::: Then it hit me, the reason you turned down the WWE was cause you just didn‘t have it n you to be a part of what was the biggest promotion after the fall of WCW and ECW. Why go from being the biggest of fish in the tiniest of ponds to the smallest of fishes in the sea that was the WWE. It just wouldn’t have been the smartest of moves so that’s why I understand this move to sign with PWE especially since and this is straight from your mouth…“2007 will be my last year of wrestling” so by my calculations that leaves you three weeks, what are you going to achieve in three weeks, you got one win last week, this week you’re for damn sure not going to be so lucky.



::: Shelton B ::: Then there’s you Santino Marella, "The Milan Miracle" from Paterson, New Jersey by way of Calabria, Italy. At one point the luckiest man in the WWE when you happened to get plucked out of the crowd and thanks to that walking boulder Bobby Lashley, three chair shots to the head and a spear you stole your way to a WWE Intercontinental championship reign. The title I held on three different occasions and held for two hundred and forty four days in my first reign, the title held my so many legends in the business. From the very first champion Pat Paterson, in nineteen seventy nine, Don Muraco, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig and Eddie Guerrero. Just four of the men who’s held the title over the twenty eight year history of the championship. And it makes me damn mad that some punk from the front row of the crowd on a European tour gets to jump over the railing and cheats his way to the title. The belt I hold more respect for than any other in this industry. So on that fact alone I don’t like you one single bit Santino.

::: Shelton B ::: This guy was the most annoying wrestler in the Raw locker room back in WWE barely anyone could stand to spend more than five minutes around him. That goofy hair cut, horrible dress sense and the most irritating thing of all…that damn accent, what the hell is with the accent I was beginning to think your not even Italian I mean the accent is just brutal. Getting back to matters though, It doesn’t matter how you got it the fact that is you do have one major title reign to your name. But what have you done since then, since losing the championship that you more or less stole your career took one hell of a dip, you became the whoopin’ boy for Ron Simons, a guy who only ever says one thing, sure you some how got you hooks into Marie and I’m with you on this one Jim Ross I just didn’t understand that relationship either, anyways aside from Marie who without a doubt was the only good thing going on in your career along side being Ron Simon’s whoopin’ boy you also branched out into being a movie critic. Week after week you’d find someway to criticise The Condemned, which by the way I saw and Austin if your sat at home watching…great film two thumbs up. But back to you Marella, I hope you enjoyed your championship reign cause I’m sure it’ll be your last because your career at least for tonight will continue to down that dip when you lose tonight whether I pin you to the mat or I pin Corino’s shoulders to the mat there’s only one out come of our match tonight and that’s me, Shelton Benjamin, PWE’s superior athlete…victorious once again.

With that said “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me Now” begings to play over the PA System once again as Shelton hands the microphone back to Lillian, takes his exit from the ring and heads back up the ramp and into the backstage area as PWE goes to a short commercial break.

MOMENTS BEFORE THE MATCH…

The scene opens up in the backstage where the PWE cameras have come across Shelton Benjamin and his momma. Shelton is doing some last minute warm up routines with Momma yelling words of engorgement to pump up her son who is just minutes away from his triple threat match. Just then from out of view of the camera Rebecca Dipietro walks into the scene carrying a microphone.

::: Rebecca D ::: Shelton, Momma I was just wondering if I could get a minute of your time ?

::: Momma B ::: Girl can’t you see my baby’s warming up here, he’s got two boy’s behinds to whoop out there in just minutes. What you want anyway ?

::: Rebecca D ::: I just wanted to see if Shelton had any last minute words regarding his match tonight.

::: Shelton B ::: It‘s ok momma I’ll take time to talk. Last minutes words huh…I thought I’d said everything that needed to be said earlier but since I got back here I’be been told I should underestimate my opponents tonight. Underestimate my opponents, are you kiddin’ me I haven’t underestimated anyone these two are nowhere near to being in my league specially not you Marella. As far as Corino sure you’ve had more heavyweight title reigns than Ric Flair but how many of those actually mean anything, three that’s how many and even those aren‘t that big of a deal. The AWA World Heavyweight Championship, a promotion full of has-beens and wannabes. Then there’s the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and well we all know the history of that dive and the guys not worthy enough to carry my jock who held that title. And finally the NWA World Heavyweight Champion that one I’ll give you credit for because that was at one time the most coveted title in this industry. But lets look at the rest of your reigns…out of all the promotions that you’ve held the heavyweight title in, how many of those are still running today…My point exactly. You must be the most over rated wrestler I’ve ever seen since I came into this business and just like Jack Evans, and Montel Vontavious Porter did either you or Marella are going to feel the T-bone suplex and taste defeat had the hands of Shelton Benjamin, The greatest athlete to ever step in a wrestling ring.
