2 Months Ago…
The scene opens up swiftly at a rather large ten story building. Out front there are two trees that are set on either side of the door. The glass double doors read: Douglas and Cobble Loans. Then footsteps are heard as the scene shifts back to see Steven Steele walking towards the door in a nice three piece suit and a dark blue briefcase. Steele stops at the double doors and sighs. Steele nods his head and walks in.
Once inside Steele makes his way down a long stretch. As he does he looks on the walls. Several paintings of gardens and cityscapes fill the walls as Steele finally makes it to the end of the hall. Steele turns to his right and travels a few more feet until he reaches the elevators. Steele presses the up button and waits…moments later Steele enters the lift and the doors close…
…The doors reopen on the sixth floor as Steele makes his way down a much shorter hallway and ends up at a big glass door. Steele reads the logos on the door as they are the same ones on the entrance door outside. Steele opens and walks into a vacant waiting room with only a secretary at her desk. Steele walks up to her.
Steven Steele: “Excuse me. I’m here to see Daniel Douglas”
The girl looks to her left and picks up the phone. She looks at Steven.
Girl: “Name please.”
Steven Steele: “It’s Steven Steele. I spoke to-“
Girl: “Just the name sir, thank you.”
Steele gives her a quick glare as he takes a few steps back. Moments later she looks at Steele and gives him a nod. She gets out from behind her desk and motions for Steven to follow. Steele follows and they travel down a narrow hallway, and at the end is a door with the name Douglas at the top center. She opens the door and holds it as Steele walks in.
Daniel Douglas: “Mr. Steele, so good to you see you. I assume you are here about the loan?”
Steven Steele: “Yes Sir. I am going to be working on a project here in the coming months and while I have enough money I just feel I’d rather take a loan out.”
Daniel Douglas: “Sure thing Mr. Steele. Why don’t you have a seat and let’s have a talk.”
Steele walks over to the desk and sits down across from Daniel. Steele and Daniel begin having words but the sound cuts out. The scene backtracks to the door and then the door shuts…Fade to black….

Flowery Branch, Georgia
Two Weeks Ago…
The scene opens up at a small little marketplace off Highway 85 in Flowery Branch. In this shopping strip you have a Home Depot, Target, Ross Clothing, TJ Max, Pets Mart, Office Max, and a few mom and pop stores. There is one building that does stand out oddly enough. The very last space at the end of the strip closest to the highway, and the sign above it reads: Lobe Films. The scene fades inside this building and right into a office. There is a desk with a laptop, phone, charger, pens, books, filing cabinets, and most everything else one would expect to find in a business. Sitting at the desk is Steven Steele and he is currently on the phone.
Steven Steele: “Mr. Haze it will be an honor to work with you on this production. I couldn’t have picked a better director for my first film. Oh yes this is all very new to me but I have the money and I can get the connections. Pretty much how I was able to get a hold of you sir. Yes, sure will. You are the last piece to my production puzzle. We actually can start casting within the month. Great I will see you in August. Alright…bye.”
Steele hangs up and leans back in his leather chair. Steele looks up at his while ceiling and just stares.
“Steele, I sure hope you know what you’re doing…”
The scene slowly fades to black…

Buffalo, New York
Present Date: July 20, 2009
The scene opens at a small park near Buffalo. Steele is walking the path way very slowly. You can notice a slight limp in his walk when he put pressure on his left leg. Steele however continues his walk. Steele with a smile on his face that just can’t be taken off and a sense of accomplishment is all around him. Steele finally stops a second. He looks around at the sun begging to set.
“What a ride I’ve been on. What a pay per view. CWR knows how to put on a show, and Steven Steele knows how to steal it. Yes Steele for the steal. Get it? Kind of like what TJ was doing? Come on you remember that witty Steele and steel don’t you? It was only a few days ago. I thought it was so original and so clever that I thought I’d give it a try. However I think it only works when TJ does it because well TJ is TJ.”
“Anyways, I’ve been thinking a lot about how wrestling and show biz are a lot of like. You have your good guys and you have your bad guys. You stick the two together and hope’s they are smart enough to tell a story in a match, or if the owner is really lucky they will drag a feud out and thus a rivalry is born. Now while that isn’t entirely true it sure does make for great television.”
“As far as TJ Raven and Steven Steele go, that isn’t some toss together at the lat second thing. Oh no, that feud right there goes back several years, and at our biggest event of the year I got a measure of redemption and retribution. However I didn’t win the match but TJ Raven knows he was in a fight. See I told you TJ that you couldn’t close the door on me until I was ready for that chapter to be over. It’s another great action scene in what has become a blood thirsty feud between us.”
Steele stops speaking for a moment. Steele looks around again…the night sky just about to appear. Steele can feel the air getting cooler.
“So TJ I got to thinking about our feud and I got to thinking about this entire situation. I go to thinking about how much of a cocksucker you really are and how much Drew enjoys a good blow job and will screw any man on a second notice and then, oh yes and then I thought about what if they made a movie about this situation. What if they took the last weeks events and made a movie. The title would have to be called…no wait for it…no I’m not going the low road and say broke back mountain two. That would be to original.”
“I was thinking more along the lines of The Naked Raven or The Flaming Jeckel. See there, now that is original.”
Steele laughs at himself a moment.
“Oh yeah I can see the response to this one. Oh well you have to give the shots and take the shots. So TJ you have a CWR World Title shot here in a few months and Drew just GAVE it to you. It’s just like Drew to pull a fast one like that. Not only that he wants to put me in a Survival of the Fittest match and if my team loses I don’t get a shot at your title while you are still champion. Well I’ll just be damned. I have to tag team with a guy that doesn’t have anything left in the tank and then another guy who just lost his title to Doogan.”
“Can we say Steele just got fucked. Yes…I think we can. However that doesn’t bother that much because TJ Raven you know no matter the outcome of this match you and I are going to go toe to toe one more time. You see I don’t care about the others in this match up. This isn’t a team game for me. TJ this is about me and you and finishing you off.”
“TJ, I’m going to make sure that after International Incident that you and I are going to have ourselves one more match. Even if it’s not for your title this little rivalry is going to end. TJ I have you on the ropes and you know it just as well as I do. So we might as well star the countdown to our next match TJ and I’m not talking about the Survival match.”
Steele begins to walk again. He is heading down the path way and towards the exit of the park.
“So about that movie I mentioned a little bit ago. Let’s make it a wrestling movie obviously and let’s cast you and Drew Carrig right now. Let’s see…TJ Raven I think you should be played by Vinnie Jones. Comes off as a billy badass on the screen and can play nasty but in the end he always falls short. Never fails for the Vin man to bite the big one, and how about Drewski? Simple. Tom Cruise all the way. A man that feels he is God’s gift to acting much like how Drew feels he is God’s gift to wrestling when in all reality he sucks. Tom Cruise can’t act and Drew Carrig can’t wrestle anymore, and even when he did it was like Cruise’s accents…the same. Nothing new, and so who would play the hero. Who would play Steven Steele, well that my friend is an easy one. One of my favorite actors…Mr. Stephen Dorff. So there we have it. A little rant here and a little rant there equals one pissed off Steven Steele.”
“So TJ get ready because at the Incident you are going to go the way of old yeller…”
Steele winks as he walks past. The scene fades on a now night sky as Steele climbs into his truck and takes off. Fade to black.
“People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn’t. It just makes you a bitter person…”
