Gift Horse
CAMERA IS FOCUSED ABOVE A BUILDING ON AN OLD SIGN, 'MICKS GYM', FOOTSTEPS CAN BE HEARD, CAMERA MOVES TO SEE PULSAR ARRIVING AFTER AN EARLY MORNING RUN. PULSAR MOVES TOWARDS THE CAMERA, SWEAT POURING OF HIS FORHEAD AND FACE.
PULSAR: As a young bloke back home I can remember my father always saying 'dont look a gifthorse in the mouth', a saying which I always found to be true and also made me appreciate the small amount of luck and fortune which has come my way over the years and that have brought me to this industry. (PAUSES AND CONTEMPLATES FOR A MOMENT) This is why I cant help to feel a bit confused about my upcoming match at Combat against a fellow Australian Derek Graham. You see, I am aware of what is at stake and that their are many chances to get my hand on the precious NWL gold, I'm also aware that this will be an event that will go down as legend, being the first full outing for a company that will no doubt become the new standard for the wrestling industry, something I am very honoured to be a part of.....BUT (TONE IN PULSARS VOICE BECOMES MORE INTENSE) I AM HERE FOR ONE THING, AND ONE THING ONLY, THE NWL CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD. As important and valuable as the other straps are, my sights are set on the ultimate prize.
PULSAR NOW TURNS FROM THE CAMERA, PACES FOR A MOMENT AND TURNS BACK TO THE CAMERA.
PULSAR: Now it would seem that the first step would be the hardest and highest, 7 foot high to be exact. As I mentioned before, another combatant from back home, Derek Graham. Ive heard a few stories abou this guy, sounds like he has a few tales to tell about being a "Hardcore Legend", about being in a few good ol' pit fights, hell we might be able to compare a few war wounds. Now unfortunately for big Derek, being in this business means you cant just step in the ring and expect to just beat the s### out of everyone, you have be smart as well as strong, you have to use that thing that rattles inside your head when you walk. And even more importantly you HAVE TO USE THIS (HITS HIMSELF ON HIS CHEST, HEART), YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO GET INTO THE RING WITH PEOPLE ALMOST A FOOT TALLER THAN YOU, WITH NO FEAR OR CARE ABOUT YOUR BODY, ALL FOR A CHUNK OF GOLD.
(VOICE NOW LOW AND MENACINGLY STEADY, TALKING THROUGH HS TEETH) Now how far are you willing to go?........ Cue the DAMN excitement
