John Pariah’s Living Room
Portage, Indiana, USA
[The scene fades into John Pariah’s living room. He’s relaxing on his couch-after going home from an extended stay in Canada for the last three weeks. His daughter is sitting on an adjacent chair, playing a game on her Nintendo 3DS. Lillith is grabbing a drink behind the bar, as the front doorbell rings.]
JP: Huh?
[Madison gets up, and runs up the stairs to the door.]
Madison: DADDY! MOMMY! ITS UNCLE JIMMY! SHOULD I LET HIM IN!??
JP: Sure. Let him in.
[The front door opens, and James Silkk walks in.]
JS: Heeyy Maddy Monster!
[He grabs her and picks her up.]
JS: Where’s Daddy and Mommy?
Madison: Downstairs watching TV!
JS: Let’s go see them. Quick….to the batcave!
[She giggles as he carries her down the stairs. John gets up and meets him at the bottom of the stairwell.]
JP: James.
Lillith: Hows it going?
JS: It’s….well..hey, Madison..could you go to your room and play for a few minutes. Uncle Jimmy needs to talk to Mommy and Daddy.
Madison: Okay
[She grabs her 3DS and runs up stairs.]
JP: Drink?
[John reaches in the cooler behind the bar, pulling out a bottle of Jones Root Beer.]
JS: Sure.
[He takes a bottle, and takes a sip.]
JP: What brings you down here?
JS: Well the band was doing a session at Chicago Recording, and I figured I’d take the trip out to see you guys. I saw your tag match in CXP last week. You and Shawn actually make a pretty decent team.
Lillith: They do, don’t they!
JS: So what is that now John? 2-0 in CXP?
JP: Something like that.
JS: Title shot on Saturday right?
JP: Legacy Title. Five Way Ladder Match. I’m pretty excited.
Lillith: I hate the fact that I can’t go with you John…
JP: I know..you have some PWX duties….I don’t know why though.
JS: What do you mean?
JP: She’s treated like a dog by that bastard Darin Zion. I told her to quit.
Lillith: If I get fired though John, you can never come back.
JP: So?
JS: That’s not right Lillith.
JP: I don’t care about PWX.
JS: John…I mean she’s right. Darin is a fucking scumbag. I know Jessica is trying to make things slightly more balanced, but its really not working. And now, I mean did you SEE what Darin did last night at Full Throttle?
JP: No. And I don’t care. PWX is behind me.
JS: After all you and Jason did to make PWX the best company in the world, you’re just going to bail on it? Darin had both Jessica and Lillith barred from the building last night-so he could run roughshod over the entire company!
JP: It’s not my concern. I’ve closed that chapter in my life. PWX is behind me, and I’m ready to start fresh. In a few days, I will cement my spot in CXP-and be their Legacy Champion….that’s all I care about when it comes to wrestling right now.
[Silkk sighs.]
JS: I won’t let Jason’s memory, his dream, die in vain John. If you’re not going to put your foot down and stop, maybe I will. After all, PWX will be in Canada for the next few weeks-I just might have to fend my homeland off from Darin’s filth.
JP: Do what you want James. I’ve washed my hands of PWX…I’m done with them.
[He takes a drink of his Jones.]
JP: Now if you’ll excuse me. I need to finish packing. Have to head to Chicago and catch a flight to Vancouver.
[He pushes past him, and heads up the stairs, turning around at the foir and heading up to the main house.]
JS: Well, at least we’re alone now.
[He puts his arm around Lillith, and she backs away.]
Lillith: James. I said no. We cant do this anymore…and I don’t need anybody fighting my battles for me. I don’t care who Zion brings with him-I will still beat him. Now I have to get ready, I have actual work to do, so why don’t you go back to your little band, and leave me the hell alone!
[She sighs and heads upstairs as well. James sighs and finishes his drink as we fade to black.]

Location: Roger's Arena
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
[The scene fades in on an empty arena. The ring crew are preparing for Saturday's CXP event, and getting ready for a weekend of action. The camera pans around to the bleachers, where John Pariah is sitting-watching, and waiting.
JP: Tomorrow night, this is where I cement my legacy in this company. This is where I attract new readers, to the new volume of my life. Tomorrow night, in that ring-I will literally climb the ladder to success, and become the new Legacy Champion. Dethroning Brett Starr as Champion….
[He sits back and smiles.]
JP: The Legacy Title, for all intents and purposes is a title for pure wrestling. Why it's being defended in a Ladder Match is beyond me, but whatever. I've wrestled my fair share of Ladder Matches, and to be fair, I'm pretty damn good at them. You see to me, this title means you're the best pure wrestler on the planet-and I've proven that time and time again. They have a name for me everywhere I go…The King of Wrestling. That's what I am, and that's what I do. I wrestle. Sure, I've gotten my hands bloody in deathmatches-but first and foremost I am a WRESTLER. I will beat you, I will stretch you, and I will break you. Just ask Larkyn Matthew and Antony Pagano last week, just ask Timothy Hunt the week before. I am the Best of the Best, and tomorrow night, I will prove it once again...
[He smirks, looking over the arena.]
JP: Brett Starr….you have held that title since February of this year…you don't deserve it. You're a lying, cheating, piece of sports entertainment trash who needs help from the outside to get the job done. I've gone back and watched your title win Brett, and trust me when I say this….you won't be able to try the same tricks again. Kid, you were still in grade school when I was winning World Titles. I'm sorry Brett, but your time in the sun is over, I really hope you have a career to fallback on.
[He smiles, standing up and walking down the bleachers.]
JP: Than..there is Shawn Cage…..a man whom I respect immensely. To me, Shawn is a kindred spirit, and to be quite frank-we make one helluva tag team. All due respect though friend, let me say this. Shawn, I know you've fallen back on some hard times-but I'm sorry-but when I win the Legacy Championship tomorrow night, you will be the first to get a title shot!
[He smirks, reaching the floor seats of the venue, and looking it over once more.]
JP: Kaden Kessler…the little heel of the match. Egotistical-like Brett. It's amazing how all these rookies want to call themselves the best in the world. That's fine Kaden-because while you're focused on whatever it is that you do…I'll show you why I'm not just the Best in the World…I'm the Best of the Best….You must be very green to never of heard of me. It's fine though..after tomorrow night-you will know my name very well….especially when I drop you face first on the mat and put your lights out. You and Mr. Starr can have all the alliances you want-I've toppled bigger and better than you in my career. Tomorrow night will be no different, no exception, no remorse. I am here for one thing Kaden, and that is to cement my legacy in CXP…and I will do that on your head if need be.
[He pauses again, reaching the railing. He passes through it and walks around the ring.]
JP: Seth Moore is a kid whose been around the block once or twice…just like me. We seem to have a lot in common. You're from Australia-and I love Australia! That's where the similarities end though. You let your career flatline and falter from a wrist injury? Seth, all due respect-I was in a coma for six weeks, in rehab for months. I've broken my collarbone, my back, and had concussion after concussion-and I still kept fighting. The only way to keep me from what I want-is to kill me. Many men have learned that, and tomorrow night-the four of you will learn that very fact as well…
[He smiles, and climbs into the ring-standing in the middle of it.]
JP: My name is John Pariah. I am Chicago's Finest, and Canada's Most Wanted. I am the King of Wrestling, the Best of the Best-and your next Canadian X Pro Legacy Champion. I'm here to save that title from over rated scumbags like Brett Starr. I'm here to lead that title into a new generation of talent and exposure. I'm not only the Legacy Champion CXP deserves…but I'm the one it needs. Tomorrow night, right here in MY ring…I will climb above all others to achieve my prize. My fate, is mine to decide children….tomorrow night…my Legacy is cemented.
[The scene fades to black as Pariah smirks.]
