( After both Curtis and TJ Alexander came up short in the Elimination Chamber, they look to both bounce back when they square off with each other in the ring. With pride and better placement in the rankings on the line who will walk out with the win?)

The scene opens to Curtis sitting on a tire swing at a local playground. He is slowly swinging back and forth with his head held low. On the ground off to his side is a picnic blanket with assorted cheeses and other snacks sitting next to a basket.
Curtis - Well that didn't go as planned now did it. I had the title in my sights and couldn't bring it home. I worked my butt off and trained harder than ever but I was not the better man in that chamber. Also for everyone watching at home that Chamber is far scarier than it looks. To be trapped inside of a cage within a cage with 5 other people who want to do serious harm to you is a lot to take in. Now don't get me wrong I am not making excuses at all I lost because I wasn't the best in the ring. It's plain and simple. I don't envy the position that Mr Cavanaugh, Mr York or Mr Page are in but I really wish it was me. That all being said, it's time to put my nose to the grindstone and start training all over and get myself back to the mountaintop. I've done it before and I will do it again. A few weeks back I watched a movie that I thought was going to be about a wolf living in a city. I was wrong, it was a filthy movie about drugs and illegal scams but the main character who I can't stress enough wasn't a wolf made a good point. He said I'm not freaking leaving. That resonated with me cause even with a huge loss I'm not freaking leaving.
Curtis kicks his feet causing the tire to swing a little bit faster.
Curtis - TJ Alexander We made quite the team a few weeks back didn't we. I like you TJ. You seem like a stand up dude. No one ever has a bad word to say about you and that's rare in this business. It was weird I asked around and no one had any words about you, good or bad. It's almost like you just exist here but no one really knows you. I'm not saying that to be mean it's just kind of shocking to me. We both had the world title within our grasp last Mayhem and failed to take it home. We both want to start out on the right foot moving forward. I honestly wish we both could but unfortunately that's not the case. Only one of us can begin that long climb up the ladder to the top and that someone is going to be me. TJ you had some strong words for me heading into the chamber and I didn't take them lightly at all. The only thing is pal you apparently know nothing about me. Everything you said was completely and utterly wrong. You said that there would be no one to save me. You said Osh or Jonny wouldn't be there for me. Well you said Johnny……..There is no H so again you are wrong. Also have you been under a rock? They have never once been there to save me in the past. Why would they be there now? Also no one has seen Jonny C in weeks. I highly doubt he will turn up to save me the kid he never wanted.
Curtis drags his feet to stop the tire swing then imbs out and goes to sit on the blanket.
Curtis - OK so you have done no research on me at all. That's fine, some people are just lazy and like to walk to the ring and talk junk without knowing. But then you went on and said you would last for longer than I would in the chamber. That didn't play out how you expected now did it TJ? I know I was the second to last person eliminated, and I'm pretty sure you were the first person eliminated. So looking at the score card it would seem you were quite wrong again. So you went on and on with verbal poo poo now didn't you TJ. That's OK, everyone has their own style. Your style just happens to be making stuff up when there is more than enough evidence to dispute it. That reminds me of a great poem.
Curtis clears his throat then takes a sip of water.
Curtis - One too many and all are gone a jack of all trades but a master of none. very personable yet his friends are few or none he is many yet he is one many faces, one on one if you meet again that one is gone
he chooses his lies for the fun a true relationship is only but a pun a fabricated personality has won but if you peel away too much he is done he will turn tail and run he is many, yet he is one…
Curtis takes a piece of cheese off the plate and eats it with a huge smile on his face.
Curtis - Liar liar pants on fire. Maybe they aren't lies if you fully believe them. Then they are just un truths. I don't know what's worse, lying or speaking something you honestly believe it true. Either way TJ I've said before you seem like an OK dude and I honestly mean that. You just have to stop lying or believing what you say. Both of us need the big win this next show to kick start a comeback. I don't like having to be the one to hurt someone else's momentum to better my own but it has to be done. That's not saying we both can't go out there and give it our all and steal the show. We can absolutely do that and I honestly feel we will. Only one man gets his hand raised at the end and that man is going to be me like it or not. You've tried to belittle me like everyone else has and I can't blame you for that but it's just not working. I've said it before and I will say it again sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. That's you in a nutshell friend all talk. All flash no filler if you will. That's where we are different my friend. I want to build everyone up. I don't want to talk anything away from anyone because I'm a good person. I want to see you succeed in this world. I don't want to see you fail at all. I just don't want you to make a name for yourself off of beating me. I work harder than anyone one here. Nothing has ever been handed to me unlike you think. I have fought and clawed for everything I have ever gotten. I am here because I want to be and have earned that spot.
Curtis takes a little bottle of juice out of the basket. He opens it and takes a sip.
Curtis - Yes I failed to win the big one. That stinks, I am well aware. That doesn't mean I'm done though, far from it actually. We all lose from time to time doing this. We all know that's going to happen. At the end of the day no one will remember the win loss record. They will remember the legacy you leave behind. Sure they may remember the matches or the titles but it's the reputation you leave behind that matters TJ. I plan on being remembered as one of the greatest to ever do this. I want people to remember that Curtis was a good guy that regularly left it all in the ring. I will always give it my all, win or lose. When I lose I will get up, dust myself off and try harder to get the win next time. I'm not bothered that I lost. Did I want to win and become the champion and face Page in the main event of our next PPV? Of course I did if I said otherwise I would be lying. It wasn't in the cards for me right now. I wasn't ready to take that next step. Next time I'm given that chance I will run with it. I often learn more from a loss than I ever will from a win. I know where I messed up and will make sure that never happens again. A loss doest break me at all, if anything it makes me stronger. That's not good for you TJ. I'm a man on a mission that needs to prove to myself that I belong. You're the first person that I am facing since that big loss. You're the one I need to beat to right that ship. TJ I am excited to lock up with you again and see who the better man is. I have a feeling it's going to be me but I know you're no slouch in the ring either. Next Mayhem can go either way I know that. I really want to bring home the win and move on to bigger things but only time will tell. I can't wait to find out who is better. Well I must be going now I got these fine cheeses that won't hold up well in this heat. See you soon Mr Alexander.
Curtis eats another bite of cheese then takes a sip of his juice as the scene fades to black.

(The scene opens up inside the Honda Centre in Anaheim, California. As we are inside the wrestling ring that is all set-up as we see that TJ Alexander is sitting on the second turnbuckle as the camera pans on him, as we see TJ is wearing some blue jeans, converse shoes, and a black hooded jacket, in between his feet is a leather black bag with a gold string as a handle can be seen.)
“Last weekend was one of the most important weekends of my professional career as on Sunday Night I was in Oakland California at the Oracle Arena competing against Jason Scott for ECE for their United States championship.”
(TJ reaches down and picks up the black bag using the gold strap and pulls out ECE United States championship and holds it in front of the camera holding it with both hands)
“Last Sunday Night at Sign of Victory I did become a champion and as much as this championship means a lot to me, I wanted to be selfish and I wanted the top prize, I wanted to win the elimination chamber to go on and face Chris Page for the next pay-per-view..”
(TJ looks infuriated)
“But a lot of things have been since that Monday Night and it has caused IIW management to change an alter everything that they had planned because while the five of us who lost are healing our bodies from the Elimination Chamber, Justin York couldn’t handle the pressure and took his balls and ran away from the business, he has vacated both the chance at the next pay-per-view and the International championship so after all the trash talk he did and I’ll admit he can trash-talk like the best of them, he couldn’t handle the pressure of being “The Guy” and the International champion and he couldn’t handle carrying the company on his back.”
(TJ looks down at his ECE United states championship and smiles)
“But you wanna know what to Justin York if he ever sees this I will carry this company on my shoulders because IIW management will have to put the chance at Chris Page at the next pay-per-view on the line again and the International Championship on the market and I am counting myself in for both, the chance at Chris Page for the next pay-per-view and the International championship and I will do what you couldn’t. And it seems through the grapevine that the International title is going to be put on the line in a battle royal next week and I am putting my name in the hat right now.”
(TJ pauses)
“Now that battle royal is for next week but for this week I am in a singles match against another Elimination Chamber opponent in Curtis and Curtis how do you feel since Monday Night Mayhem? Is your body sore and in pieces? Because mine is, are you hurt in places that don’t seem to be going anytime soon? Because I do and it seems that way because we stepped inside an elimination chamber structure that was designed to destroy our bodies it was designed to strip flesh from bone and break bones too. In what was an gruelling match and I have respect for everyone in that match except for Justin York now.”
(TJ pauses)
“Curtis what you have been saying this week is full of crap because you are claiming that I am a liar and I’m not because I said last week that I would become champion and I did do just that just for another company, the elimination chamber was an extraordinary match and neither of us lasted as long as we should have, but the only thing about me is I know I’m capable of so much more. And I’ve proved that already by doing a double-shot weekend and winning gold, sure I would like the IIW world heavyweight title too, but that’s soon to come for me I know it.”
(TJ flings his ECE United states championship over his shoulder)
“Did I want to win the elimination chamber and take that opportunity of course I did but I know next time that I will not fail. But how about you Curtis? Do you actually believe that sometime soon that you’ll be a champion? You are not championship material and in all honesty you only got into the business for whomever your related too Jonny C and Osh Vaughn.”
(TJ smirks)
“While I have worked my arse off from day one Curtis and everything I do I put one hundred percent in and I do it better than most, my style inside the ring is what most wrestlers wished they had my style, and let’s be honest again secretly you’d wish you were me. You wish you were me Curtis because even if you think that nobody knows my name which they do, I’m still above you.”
(TJ smiles)
“When I beat you this week Curtis it will be another win because if we’re all being honest your nothing special, while I am and will be the face of this company for the future, you can pretend all you like about how you want to build people up but shredding that lie away you a jealous man, and the jealous man inside of you is filled with hate for everyone, and you even hate yourself because you know you’ll never be “The Guy”.”
(TJ smiles)
“You have already reached your ceiling but I haven’t and I will in time get what I deserve and that’s being the face of the company while you are laying on your arse watching me, see you at Mayhem.”
(Scene ends)
