*The scene opens up with a shot of the beautiful Boston skyline where the sun is just beginning to light up the day. The camera pans this beautiful horizon before settling on the rooftop of an apartment building where Adam Abel is seeing sitting there in a Red Sox t-shirt and blue jeans overlooking the view. Abel is there by himself and taking this time in the early morning to think to himself.*
"I love how simple he makes it sound...How Josh Eagles tries in vain to convince his little college friend that I am nothing more than a quitter. That because I stepped out of the spotlight for personal reasons that I am a quitter. That I quit on my fans and that I don't care about them."
*Abel smirks and shakes his head as he looks down at the roof top.*
"I like how Josh always tries to make himself the sympathetic character. He decided to bring up his pregnant wife and how he was the victim...But shortly after that happened he was all to happy to kick her to the curb! Jeska was a dark and evil presence and he was pleased that she was out of his life! Yet, Josh Eagles once again is the victim. Poor Josh Eagles, lets drum up all the sympathy in the world for him.
I used to respect Josh. I really did. I saw what he could do in the ring and I wished I could be that good. But I've seen the man he truly is. Eagles is obsessed with his spot. He loved that I had to step away so he could claim he was a better man than I am. Josh Eagles loved the fact that he could make every claim that he was the new people's champion...But where is he now? Sitting on the top of his ivory tower...Chasing the all-mighty dollar.
Eagles doesn't care about the people, he never did. Eagles cares about one person and one person only...himself. I was a fool to believe that he had my back in Pro Wrestling Fire. Eagles has hated me ever since I gotten there because I represented one thing and one thing only...A threat."[/i][/color][/b]
*Abel rubs the back of his head and stretches his back as he stands up.*
"This weekend, I show Josh something he hasn't seen in me for a long time...MY SPARK."
*Abel walks back inside as the screen fades out.*

*The scene opens back up inside of a American Airlines plane where the passengers are making their way out of the plane. An older couple that appear to be in their early eighties are trying to get their carry-on bag out of the top container but are having a rough time. Adam Abel appears to the right and reaches in and brings it down for them.*
Adam Abel: Here you go folks.
Older Man: Thank you son, its nice to see someone who respects his elders now a days.
Adam Abel: You're welcome. Have a nice day folks.
*The older couple walk away slowly as Adam turns back to his seat and finds his wife staring at him with a grin plastered on his face. Adam seems confused by this before his wife speaks.*
Melanie Abel: You're always such a boy scout aren't ya!
*Adam smiles big and chuckles as he takes his and his wife's bags down from the overhead compartment.*
Adam Abel: Well, I can't be a jerk all the time. And what can I say? I just like making people's day better sometimes...
Melanie Abel: Oh yes, I am sure that Josh Eagle's day got a thousand times better after he heard that you were fighting him this weekend with a shot of the championship on the line...I'm sure Eagles was thrilled.
*Melanie pokes Adam in the side playfully as she gets out of the seat row they were sitting and walks out in front of Adam, who is carrying their luggage. The happy couple walk towards the exit as the Flight Attendant is standing there smiling.*
Flight Attendant: Have a great stay in Knoxville and thank you for flying with us!
*Melanie and Adam smile and nod as they walk into the walk-way that connects the plane to the McGhee Tyson Airport. Adam takes his wife's hand and she squeezes it tightly.*
Melanie Abel: Are you nervous?
Adam Abel: A little.
Melanie Abel: Why?
Adam Abel: New company. New fans. New start. You know, just the normal everyday things!
*Melanie suddenly swings around and stops her husband dead in his tracks. She stares directly into his eye's and speaks very slowly to drive home the point.*
Melanie Abel: You are going to do GREAT. I believe in you 100%! Don't worry about what Eagles said...The people are going to go nuts when they see you here! Can't you hear it already?
*Adam just then notices outside of the glass doors there is a huge collection of people outside, all seemingly waiting for someone to get off the plane. But in the front of the large group there is Emma Abel holding a sign that says "Adam and Melanie Abel" with Dustin Douglas standing to the side of her signing some autographs for some younger fans. Adam gets a huge smile on his face and looks back at his wife.*
Melanie Abel: Those people out there never gave up on you. They know you didn't give up on them. They came out here this afternoon just to welcome you here. Adam, they believe in you. So don't worry about what Eagles said...Just go out there and be the man they know and love! You got this.
*Melanie reaches up and kisses her husband sweetly.*
Melanie Abel: You got this!
*After that, Melanie steps back beside her husband and wraps her arms around his left one. They both walk out into the terminal and the fans in the place explode into cheers as Adam and Melanie smile brightly and wave to them. Emma is thrilled to see her older brother and runs up and hugs him tightly.*
Emma Abel: OH ADAM! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU! Its been entirely too long!
*Adam hugs her tightly back, thrilled to be reunited his with youngest sibling as well. They break the embrace and Emma runs over to Melanie to hug her as well. Dustin and Adam share a quick handshake before Adam goes over to his fans and begins to sign autographs for some of the assembled crowd. Melanie and Emma stand to the side looking toward Adam and Dustin with the crowd.*
Melanie Abel: Its nice being back isn't it?
Emma Abel: Yeah, I was worried that this wouldn't happen again. I thought when PWF closed, all of this was done.
Melanie Abel: Well, I guess its not. Just time for a new adventure I guess.
*The camera zooms into Adam signing autographs as the shot fades to black.*

A Pridewrestling.com Exclusive
Alex Avice: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Countdown to Oblivion on Pridewrestling.com...your exclusive online home for Kingdom of Pride. I'm here outside of the locker room of "Astonishing" Adam Abel and I was wanting to get a few words with him before his match-up against Josh Eagles.
*Avice turns and knocks on the locker room door with is opened by Adam Abel. Abel is already in his wrestling gear and looks prepared and focused for the task at hand.*
Alex Avice: Adam, I wanted to get some quick throught from you about your match with Eagles tonight. Got a minute?
*Adam looks to the ground for a second before nodding and stepping into the hallway. Adam puts his hands on his hips and awaits the first question.*
Alex Avice: How does it feel to be back in the ring for a match that actually counts for something? Last time you stepped in one, you lost to Dan White at Supermania...
Adam Abel: Dan White is a hell of a competitor...I didn't take that match too seriously and I paid the price. I think one of my biggest weaknesses as a wrestler is that I can allow myself to be taken out of my game. I lose focus occasionally and I let myself and my fans down at those moments. Chalk it up to being young...Maybe letting things affect me too personally or what have you...but its my weakness. When I decided that I needed to take a step back a few months ago...It was because I was focusing on getting my family back on track. I wanted to get my mother back on her feet...but that is something Josh Eagles doesn't know about. Eagles is obsessed with himself and him making claims that he's a better man that I ever will be just drives that point home.
Alex Avice: I don't understand Adam, you were just claiming a few days ago that you are a better man than Josh!
Adam Abel: I put my family first. Always and forever. That is what makes me a better person. Josh Eagles is only obsessed with gaining fame and fortunes...He could care less about his company, his friends or his assistant or girlfriend or whatever that girl is. Josh is focused on proving that he is better than me and that is how I am going to beat him this week, just like I have almost every time we've faced each other. Eagles will want to prove his physical dominance over me and he won't be focused on the win...He'll be focused on punishing me and trying to prove some long dead point...He wants to show me that he is simply better than I ever will be. But the simple fact is...If I am on my game, and trust me...I AM. Josh Eagles cannot beat me.
Alex Avice: I don't think that-
Adam Abel: The fans know it. The experts know it. And deep down Josh knows it too. I am the better competitor and the better man, and that is what I am going to show Josh in the ring tonight. And after the match is over, I'll shake his hand out of respect. Because deep down I think Josh is a good person, just a little misguided. I may be disgusted by some of his actions and decisions...But I want to believe in the guy. I want to respect him and form a friendship with him...But I still want to show him what I am capable of.
*Adam rubs his jaw and chin before finishing his thought.*
Adam Abel: Tonight, I am going to show the fans that I am someone they can believe in. "Astonishing" Adam Abel is back and he is here to stay. I take the title of fan favorite very seriously. I love to hear the cheers and adulation of the crowd each and every time I enter an arena. I'm going to prove to them that I am focused and ready to lead Kingdom of Pride into this new era...and I am ready to claim another championship. Josh Eagles is just the first step towards my goal. Tonight...I prove that I am ABEL.
*With that, Adam Abel walks back into his locker room and the screen fades to black.*
"I love how simple he makes it sound...How Josh Eagles tries in vain to convince his little college friend that I am nothing more than a quitter. That because I stepped out of the spotlight for personal reasons that I am a quitter. That I quit on my fans and that I don't care about them."
