PWP 5: The Gold Rush - Savannah vs. Jordan Caliband

Prologue

We open on a street with a somewhat young man walking, hood up, eyes open and completely aware of the world around him, his body language is reading please don't acknowledge me and he is swiftly dodging in and out of every alley he finds. He stops at a few stalls in the market he enters quietly through the side gate. We can't tell if he is buying or selling but there is definitely an exchange going on, as he quickly exits the market and continues his skewed dander through the city streets, as this goes on an inner soliloquy kicks in

My name is Jordan Caliban, my life is somewhat, complicated, I'm 25 years old, I live with my Beautiful girlfriend Sinnesy Rose, and yes that is a real name I swear. I work as a regular loser in a dive bar in the center of downtown London Ontario, You may be asking yourself what exactly it is I am doing out here acting shady as shit and twice as shifty

He makes one more stop and this time we see an exchange up close but it's still damn near impossible to see who is benefiting from who in the exchange  

No I am not a pot dealer, although I am a fan I must admit, and yes one of those stops was for that purpose but at the same time there are other things to be a chicken shit about if you see what I do nearly every day. See when you look at me now you see something I got the chance to “create.” Ill show you pictures of a 15 year old, 19 year old, 22 year old Jordy and he wont be what your looking at now. I was every kind of kid you made fun of in high school.


Flashback to Jordan walking the same way through his high school hall way, ducking and diving and attempting to avoid any and all contact with what he called the pseuperior race but still getting shit here and there, generic high school stuff

I was that poor straight kid who attracted the gay speculation simply because I read Shakespeare

We then flash to a car accident with Jordan in the passenger seat, the screen fades to black and then quickly to Jordy in a wheel chair

I smashed myself up and spent the last 4 years of high school in a wheelchair, But I'm not in it anymore so I don't dwell on the whole thing

Back to the present scene and we see Jordy making his way below an underpass

I like a lot of things In my life, I grew up in Northern Ireland and now I live in Canada, so I get to be all foreign and exotic and shit, and trust me in about 5 minutes your gunna see why that is a plus out here

He stops in at a beer store quickly, waving to the guys behind the counter, he walks over to the cheapo section and picks up 6 Pabst Blue Ribbon and makes his way to the counter to wait in line for the register

I honest to god don't drink, I ran out of stomach when I was 18, after drinking something as sour as Buckfast for nearly 3 years and then cutting down to cider after that I honestly have had enough

He gets to the counter

But Sinnesy, she likes a beer at the end of the day and honestly I see it as my god given duty to make sure it happens

Pays

I'll have a drink on a night out but at home I just want Rockstar in the morning and coke all day after that, I say I drink a lot of water too but that's honest to god bullshit

And moves to the doors

But that is where my second wife Mary comes in, she is my weed to Sinnesy's Hops and on a nice night chilled out on the couch with the most beautiful woman I have ever met

He sticks a small Joint in his mouth

I like to slip into a nice perple daze

He makes his way across a road just avoiding the lights and makes his way on through the alleys till he comes to a side street off what looks like a main road and finally reaches a small house, Once inside the first and only door he finds and walks into is the bedroom where a goddess lays snoring like a demon, sleeping naked fully wrapped up in her own crimson hair, rolling over we catch the silhouette of the most perfect hourglass figure, the kind you would be able to spend hours exploring with your fingers just to have the pleasure of making her spine shiver, he reaches down kisses her behind the ear to which she moans and flaps him away as he sniggers

Awake Siny actually loves when I do that, But with sleeping Siny, if I where to push this? We would probably see how many times my intestines would curl as they hit the floor

He quickly and quietly makes his exit from the room and enters a wide living space complete with Hipster stuff that's too dark to be hipster all over the walls, we see a huge portrait from Tim Burton's Vincent Price tribute “VINCENT” a story about a young boy obsessed with the master of  divine tyranny.

As I said, I like my life, but there are certain things that I gave myself up to when I decided I couldn't be the person I had been my entire life anymore

He crashes down onto his couch and picks up and X-Box controller

This isn't the story of where I am going

He picks up a half smoked blunt from the morning and stares at the Strawberry vanilla cheesecake bites

Reason 350 of why I love my Girlfriend, she cooks like crazy

He throws one up into his mouth and munches down smiling like a very happy man

This is the story of how I got here

Match Piece



We open on Jordan Caliban standing in front of a projector screen with a PWP 5 Goldrush graphic projected on the wall behind him so he is partially lost in the image

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the first day of the rest of your lives starring me, Jordan Caliban, in 2000 there was a revolution happening in the wrestling buisness, grown by men who understood that the only stories that really need to be told are told in the ring. Men and women who put their own bodies on the line as weapons instead of simply instruments of "entertainment" and then after a few instances where things seemed to go very very wrong even fatally so for one of the leaders of said movement, it was stopped and the world of super heroes and villains returning with the same plans to eradicate them being stopped in the same ways over and over

He starts clicking through pictures of the contestants in the upcoming tournament quickly scrolling through everyone

So now we have a hybrid, we have guys coming through the ranks now with big moves, big mouths and every bit of "back it up they got." All these guys claim to be the next big guy, the next guy to set the world on fire and put this company on the map and all the good shit that people tend to spew when they have absolutely no idea how well they are actually going to fair. Me? I'm not thinking about my opponents right now, I don't have to, I just need to worry about me

He starts clicking through shots of himself as he continues speaking, the pictures go through high spots of his in ring career

See the life I lived in the ring was one of what we call a spot monkey, a highlight reel, the guy who jumps off the ladder but never brings the briefcase with him, people call me egotistical without having anything to back it up, they call me a child because I know the advantages of running my mouth. It's pretty plain and simple, people don't like me, the reason for that is my way of controlling them, wrestlers who believe that they have choices of whether or not they will face and lose to me. I worked for a couple of the bigger companies in the past, not dropping any names, and have dealt with a lot of people who don't understand who I am and why I do the things I do or say the shit I say

He laughs and contemplates this for a second

Let me answer that question right here, right now, one time, My name is Jordan Adeus Punkin Caliban and I am the culmination of the evolution of pro wrestling I described to you before. I am a student of the rabid wolverine, a disciple of the man of a 1000 holds, while being a devout follower of the man who knows 1001 and have enough VIVA LA FUCK YOU UP to know that I am going to walk into this tournament with a smile on my face and not much else but when I walk out again I will be the first PWP world heavyweight champion, why? Because this is what I do, this is who I am, I put on the shows that people pay to see, I outclass, overshadow and objectify my opponents with an offense most rarely have to deal with, I am faster, I am stronger and I am straight up better than all of you

Caliban pulls his hood up and the shadows surround his face, the only things visible are the white of his smile and the blue of his eyes as the light from the projector bounces off them

Now to a lot of you will wonder where all this Bravado comes from, how this ego could be so big in one so young and small and the answer is painfully simple, gentlemen I have spent my entire career bracing for the train wreck and praying for a god damn miracle and recently I realised that the wonderful thing about waiting for that miracle is if you are good enough you will make them happen for yourself. At PWP 5 I make that miracle happen, if you never break you will never know how to put it all together, Ive been broken enough, it's time it came together


A voice from behind the camera chimes in

And what about your first opponent Savannah?

The projector clicks to particularly intimidating Brunette woman or as some people will recognise her, Savannah

Savannah is in what her 4th year as a competitor on the circut now?


5th I believe

OK and I have seen the accomplishments and frankly it's impressive


He rubs his hands together and his smile goes away

What I am about to say next will probably bring some scrutiny but I normally hate fighting girls, most people when they hear that automatically think its a sexist statement and it isn't and there in actually lies the reason for saying it. So Savannah I am asking you, lets do this right, professionally, I know you can take a hit as good as any man so let me simply treat you like one and you do the same to me. Folks this wont be a national TV show soap opera set up, this is a tournament for the PWP heavyweight title and the honor of calling yourself the inaugural champion, an opportunity that only presents itself once maybe twice in a career. Savannah I couldn't give 2 wriggly shits whether you have boobs or not I am coming to that ring to kill you and advance to the next round of this tournament, the same way I am going to do all the way to the finals so I can climb the ropes and show the world that my mouth is backed up by everything I do in the ring

The voice behind the camera chimes in one more time

So any final words for the rest of your opponents in the tournament?

Ladies, Gentleman and all that fall in between, to you this is a tournament for another prize, for me this is warfare to achieve my ultimate goal for the first time. I have given to much and have taken too little back, some of you I know, TJ Codair, PVL, Flex Johnson hell me and TJ got a date to team up this week but come PWP 5, they are all just names and faces, doors to be kicked in on my way to the top... incoming
