REVOLUTION: The First Hurdle

The scene opens up on a shot of Wildcard Enterprises HQ. After a few moments of just filming the HQ, the scene switches to the interior, now showing a pair of elevator doors. A moment later we hear the ding of an elevator, and the doors slide open. Inside the elevator is a HUGE Giant of a man, blond-haired and dressed in a white collar shirt and jeans, and he has to stoop a little as he steps from the elevator. The Big Man paces down the hallway, finally turning a corner and heading towards the receptionists desk. Behind the desk sits a blonde-haired receptionist typing away at the computer, and as the big man gets closer she glances up at him, and then back at her work.

Miss Lodge: “I'm sorry, Ace simply isn-”

The receptionist does a double take, staring back at the big man who grins widely. Jumping up from her seat, she sprints around the desk and leaps up at him for a big hug.

Miss Lodge: “LEV!!!”

Levinator: “Good to see you too, Rachelle.”

The two share a hug, and after a moment they break apart, Miss Lodge taking a step back to stare at him.

Miss Lodge: “What are you doing back in town? I thought Ace sent you to Australia?”

Levinator: “He did. I was doing some scouting down there for him. But he gave me a call a couple of days ago, said he wanted me back in town. Apparently he has a new job for me.”

Almost as if he could hear his name being mentioned, the intercom buzzed and the silky smooth tones of Ace Andrews came through.

Ace Andrews: “Miss Lodge, if you've quite finished humping Levinator's leg, I'd like him in here please.”

Grinning widely, Lodge walked over to the desk, reaching over and pressing the button down to respond.

Miss Lodge: “Okay. But only if you give him the night off so I can hump more then his leg.”

Lev chuckles, and Lodge reaches across, pressing the button to open the doors. Lev starts walking towards the doors, but deliberately stps towards Lodge and slaps her on the ass with a grin.

Levinator: “I'll see you tonight, Rachelle. Wear the little red dress, for me?”

Miss Lodge: “Who said I was going to wear anything at all?”

Lev laughs out loud, and walks over towards the doors, stepping through, and leaving Miss Lodge behind him, biting her lip. The Big Man steps nto the main office, and sees Ace Andrews in a corner, punching away at a boxing bag, dressed in a singlet and trackpants. Andrews slams another punch or two into the bag and then turns towards Lev, who is standing a few feet away, his arms crossed across his chest. The two men share a look for a moment, and then Lev speaks up.

Levinator: “What, No Hug?”

Ace grins slightly and walks towards the big man. The two men share a quick fist-bump as Ace chuckles.

Ace Andrews: “Good to have you back, Big Guy. Thanks for LJ by the way, he's doing amazing in PRW.”

Levinator: “You send me to my home country, all expenses paid, a chance to watch AFL, Cricket, drink beer, eat meat pies, and tan myself on Bondi Beach, and YOU thank ME. Sheesh Ace, careful. People might realise you're not actually a jerk.”

The two men share a laugh, and then Ace walks over towards the corner bar. The Billionaire Brawler pulls down two tumblers, pours out two scotches, and then turns and walks back over to Lev, handing him a tumbler. The two men chink glasses and take a sip each, before Ace walks back behind the desk, and Lev walks closer to it.

Ace Andrews: “Lev, please don't sit down. I like these chairs.”

Levinator: “You saying I'm fat, Ace?”

Ace Andrews: “I'm saying your big ass can't fit in these chairs. Interpret it however you like.”

The two men share another grin, and Lev walks past the chairs and desk, standing over near the big glass windows, his tumbler in his hand. The Australian Giant stands there for a moment, taking another sip of his scotch, and then looking back at Ace, who is rifling through some paperwork.

Levinator: “So, you going to tell me what you called me back for yet?”

Ace Andrews: “I've got a new role for you. I want you to be my bodyguard at WFWF.”

Levinator: “What's the matter Ace, you afraid of the big bad boys in wrestling?”

Ace Andrews: “Oh god no. Nothing like that. I just figure having an extra tool I can use to win is a good idea. And you big enough and ugly enough that having you behind me might make them respect me more.”

Lev stands at the window for a moment, before lifting his glass and swilling the rest down. Turning back to the desk, Lev places his tumbler on it and then looks at Ace.

Levinator: “Been losing too much lately, huh?”

Ace Andrews: “Way too much. You in?”

Levinator: “You're the Boss. Point me in a direction and say kill.”

Ace reaches into his desk, pulls out an envelope, and hands it over to Levinator.

Ace Andrews: “Tickets, Spending Money, Hotel Room Booking. All your usual necessities.”

Levinator: “Alright Boss. Now, if you don't mind, I got a date. Can Rachelle have the rest of the day off too?”

Ace shakes his head and waves Lev away.

Ace Andrews: “Go. Take Rachelle with you, I've gotta adress my WFWF match. Tell her she can call Delinda if she'd like for a table at Mystique, my treat. I'll see you at Revolution.”

The big man grins and walks away, and Ace watches him leave. After a few moments the scene fades to black, and after another few moments pause fades back in on the same office. Now Ace is dressed to the nines in a suit, and his grin is gone, replaced by a slight scowl. After a moment he addresses the camera.

Ace Andrews: “Hello WFWF. Over the past few shows, I have tried to make my way in WFWF on the back of my own abilities. That has not been enough. I have stumbled, I have fallen, and I have been a rather large failure. This is not acceptable. So recently I called back into service an old friend of mine. This is not a regular man. He's not a typical bodyguard. This man is a legend in his own right. He is an Eleven Time World Champion. He is a Giant of a Figure in the Wrestling Industry. To some of his victims, the mere name sends a chill down their spine. While in recent years he has been on the sidelines, enjoying other avenues of work, I am proud to announce that at Revolution, The Australian Sensation and Inaugural WWH Hall of Heroes Alumni, LEVINATOR, will be in my corner.”

“What this means WFWF, is that you no longer need to just worry about me. I'm a great talent. One of the best in the world, in fact. And when I'm focused, I'm dangerous enough by myself. But now I have the big guy behind me. And that means you need to keep an eye on both of us at once. Thats not an easy task. I mean, sure, Lev's big enough to be easy to spot. But he doesn't mind, because if you DO turn your back on him, he has no problem crushing you with a single blow. Seven Foot Two. Four Hundred Pounds. And he's in my corner. You should be worried WFWF. You should be very very worried.”

“This week, the man that really needs to worry though, is Jayson Garrett. Jayson, I have no doubt your a good talent. I have no doubt you've got a great mind, and a lot of fans. You and me, we're similar in some ways. We both believe we're the best. We both believe we can beat anyone. We'll both do whatever needs to be done to win. But see, Jayson. Just because we're alike, doesn't mean I respect you. I may know how you think, but I don't like you. And see, because I know how you think, I also know I'm better then you. This week is the first round in a tournament to crown a champion. A title recently dropped by my good friend Trace. You want a spoiler, Garrett? That belt's as good as mine. You an stencil my name on it already, because in 4 short weeks, I'll be the man raising the title high in the air. You're just the first name in my way, just the first hurdle in my path. But the funny thing about Hurdles? You can leap over them, you can step around them....”

“Or you can crash right through them.”

“That's why Lev's in my corner. He's my crasher. If I can't beat you on my own skills, if I can't think up a good enough plan to win, I'll just call in the Steamroller. And when he crashes through you, when he runs you down, you'll wish you had just lain down. And in that few moments of peaceful serenity you get after being destroyed, but before you lose consciousness completely, remember one thing.”

“YOU JUST GOT ACED!”
