OOC: I'll start off with a short one. Still developing this character to be honest...
[The scene opens with an interior shot of a dark vacant gymnasium. All the lights are out and there isn't a sound, but as the camera tracks through the empty walls we finally catch a glimmer of light nearby. From a distance we still a single light over a punching bag. There is a figure punching and kicking the bag with his back turned against us. As we get close, he finally turns around and notices us. He wipes the sweat from his forehead and looks into the camera.]
"I've trained my entire life for this moment. My hour of triumph is finally close at hand. After years of blood, years of sweat, years of tears and years of torment, at long last, everything will be culminated in my first official professional wrestling contest. My first ever wrestling match, my official in-ring debut."
[He grabs a steel chair from the darkness, sets it up and sits down, leaning forward towards the camera.]
"And yet it seems like yesterday when I bought my first pair of wrestling boots. I remember the day I first laced them up and fought with my little cousin in my backyard. I remember the day I went to my first live event where I watched Shane Young dive off the turnbuckle and fly onto his opponent in the crowd, just inches away from where I was sitting. I remember when I left home and moved to St. Paul to learn the art of professional wrestling from him. Wrestling has always been my passion for as long as I can remember. And now to finally compete in my first official match, it feels like I've finally made it to the big top. This is a huge opportunity for me, the chance to show everyone what I can do, and my chance to make my mentor proud. A chance to make him proud like the day when he chose to take me on as his protégé."
[Scott rubs his head as he reminisces to himself.]
"What an opportunity, and at such a high level. To open the first ever show of Master Class Championship Wrestling, a promotion that boasts the biggest talents in the business today. It is such an honor to be given such an opportunity. Failure is not an option. I cannot let everybody done. I can't let the fans down, and I can't let my mentor down. He knows how big an opportunity this is for me just as much as I do, but he has given me this opportunity for a reason. Because he knows I will not let him down. I cannot, I will not let him down."
[He stands up with an intense look on his face as he stares directly into the camera.]
"I've worked too hard for too long to fail. I will not back down, this is the moment I've fought for my entire life! I fear for my opponent. Taufik. The Franchise. The so-called Savior. I've watched you in action. I was in the crowd when you won the MPW Television championship. You do not intimidate me. In fact I do not respect you. You must have another man in your corner to help you win. You cheat to win. I don't respect you, I hate you. You are not a man in my eyes, you are a coward. My debut will be against you? Then so be it. I will defeat you Taufik. I will show everyone that you don't deserve a title shot here. You will try, and you will fail. It is inevitable. I've fought my entire life for this opportunity, and I will not let a cheater like you stand in my way and knock me down. I will beat you Taufik, and if that little bitch of a friend of yours gets in my way too, he will endure the same fate as you. And at the end of the night, you may still not respect my home country, but you will both sure damn as hell respect me!"
[To let out a little bit of his building fury, he turns around and smacks the punching bag as hard as possible. He turns back to the camera grinding his teeth.]
"Premature Beginnings...December...Twenty second...it will be my night. It will be my time. My moment. Shane Young, my mentor, I will not fail you. I will not fail, and I will not back down. I will take Taufik to the limit and I will defeat him in the middle of the ring. This is a test that I will not fail. Shane Young, I will make you proud. I will kick Taufik's skull right off his thick neck. I will kick his chest so hard that his heart will be sliced in half by his own spine! I will tie his legs into a tight knot, I will mangle his body, and if it comes to it, I will grab his little bitch and kick his face clean off his head! And if you still don't like it here then I will kick the both of you out of this country and have you cowering back to Singapore with your tails between your legs! That is the extent of how far I will go in order to beat you and your little friend Taufik. If anyone should be intimidated here, it should be you."
[He calms down slightly, again wiping the sweat from his forehead.]
"No, actually you should fear me. And do you know why? Because I've studied under the tutelage of the legendary Shane Young. A man who has survived many wars in his time. He took my under his wing and taught me everything he knows. He has trained me into the warrior I am today, and at long last, he will finally lead me into battle. I will charge into Premature Beginnings, and believe me Taufik, I will rage war against you. I will bring the fight to you, and I will walk out victorious, leaving you a mangled carcass pile in the middle of the ring! The clock is ticking Taufik. Your time is short, and my moment of triumph is close at hand. At Premature Beginnings, I will not only earn the respect of my mentor, I will not only earn the respect of the fans, but I will also earn your respect, whether you want to or not, in the end, you will have no choice but to respect me!"
[And with that said, Scott Kenneth turns back around and starts hitting the punching bag with strong blows and kicks as the camera pans away from him. The scene fades to black with the sounds of Scott's shins piercing the fabric of the punching bag.]
