New horizons
[FADE IN. Karl is sitting under the shade of a tree, looking out across a lake. The sky is clear, and the tall grasses sway in the breeze]
Karl: A new beginning. Another chance to surpass myself. That’s what I’m here in NWL for. Not for titles, not for money, but for the honour of facing some of the best, the opportunity to surpass myself.
For those who don’t know me, I’m Karl Brown, aka “The Dragon.” I use that moniker because of the honour it holds in one of the schools in Japan I trained. I have so far had a short but largely successful career, competing in MCW until it’s closure, and currently compete in Empire Pro, where this week I go head to head with Christian Sands and Jonathan Marx in the first round of their championship tournament. And here in the NWL, I go one on one with Hacker, a man I know very little about. So how do I prepare?
By working on the assumption he’s bigger, stronger, quicker, and in every way better than me, the same I do for every opponent.
You see, for me, it’s not enough to think an opponent’s going to be my equal; to beat them, I have to train as if they’re a hundred times better than me. I have to surpass myself each and every time I set foot in that ring. It’s what makes me who I am; it’s what drives me.
Hacker, I won’t start saying how you have no chance of beating me, because you do. All it takes is one slip, one momentary loss of thought, one wrong move, and you find yourself looking up at the lights, your shoulders pinned for the one, two, three. One mistake, one lapse of judgment. It can be quite humbling to think of it that way.
So, what do I have planned for the NWL? Well, I intend to continue to surpass myself, each and every match. If I win a title, that’s good. If I don’t win any titles, then it’s not the end of the world, so long as I keep striving to be better than the best.
Hacker, I look forward to facing you. Best of luck, mate.

Camera fades into Hacker along with his girlfriend Data at a local bar. They are watching local promos on one of the tv's when they notice Karl Brown aka The Dragon come on. Hacker watches and smiles as he takes a sip of his beer.
Hacker- Interesting fellow, don't you think?
Data- Seems like he wants to win this match.
Hacker- Yeah but there is a small problem with that...so do I.
Data- So what do you suggest to do?
Hacker- Get in the ring and fight it out. The man has one thing correct, he doesn't know anything about me. He doesn't know my style or what I am all about.
Data- Yeah but that can work both ways, what do you know about him?
Hacker- Nothing yet, but the kid can't hide from me. *cracks his knuckles* He can't hide his identity on the net. That is the one place I can find out who this man is.
Data- True, but why not give him a break. I am sure we can score some old tapes of MCW.
Hacker- What's the fun in that?
Data- Everything can't be fun Hack, you got to be ready for this. I like the fact that this kid is not working on assumption.
Hacker- I do to. I am glad he is not being cocky. Lord knows we have to many people in this business that are like that now.
Data- Tell me about it. So are we done, you got a lot to do before this match.
Hacker- Yeah let's get going. I want to pick up those tapes and take a look at who I am up against.
Hacker puts money down to pay for their drinks and the camera fades back to there hotel room where the both of them are watching old MCW tapes.
Data- He's pretty good.
Hacker- Yes he is. I like a challenge though, so this match should be fun.
Data- Well I am going to bed. Are you coming?
Hacker- I will be there soon.
Data walks off into the bedroom as Hacker turns off the tv.
Hacker- So Karl Brown, I must say you impress me. I like your style of wrestling and it looks like you are not much of a pushover. I admire that. I like a challenge. I like the fact that people are not cocky and coming out and saying the same old stuff like I am going to win and your not. You suck, blah blah blah. It does get old at some times. You however, you don't know what is coming. You don't know about me to much or my style of wrestling. There are a few leagues I have been in. I am a Former US champion and European Champion in XWF but that is the past which doesn't mean jack...well you get the picture. The fact is Karl, is that we both don't know what the other is going to be doing in this match and we both want to win this match do to our obilities. You were right by saying that we both don't want the money, or the titles. For me is more about Pride. Pride at being the best at my skill. So yes Karl, I will be going in that ring and I will show you one heck of a match. Let the better man win, whoever the better man is..is up to you my friend.
Hacker gives a smile as he turns off the lamp in the hotel living room suite and goes into the bedroom as the camera fades out
