*The scene opens up with a nighttime shot of Fenway Park in Boston, Mass. The stadium is completely empty but the lights are on and shining down on the glorious green field. Not one person in the seats surrounding the seats, but one man standing on the pitching mound wearing a white button up shirt and blue jeans. The camera view changes into a close up shot of the man, Adam Abel who looks directly into the camera with a smile.*
Adam Abel: Hello Kingdom of Pride fans, I wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself to you. My name is Adam Abel and I am one of the newest members of the Kingdom of Pride roster. Some of you may know me, some of you may not...but I promise after this week you will not be able to say that. I'm Boston born and bred...As you can probably tell by my choice of locals. I'm married to the most beautiful woman in the world, Melanie and I have two wonderful siblings...My older brother Greg and my younger sister Emma. My nickname is "Astonishing" Adam Abel, and the reason why is because I can do things inside and out of the ring that some people only dream of. I put my body on the line week in and week out and its completely for you...my fans.
*Adam grins and nods before continuing.*
Adam Abel: Now I know what you are already thinking...Not another idiot thinking that he does it for the fans, but I promise you now that you will realize that I am for real. Each and every week I want to win you over and I am very happy to have the chance to impress you. I am a former champion and I hope to hold gold in Kingdom of Pride as well...Over the next few weeks...you will get a glimpse into my personal life and I hope you realize exactly what I stand for. Thank you for the opportunity and enjoy the ride.
*Adam flashes a peace sign to say goodbye as the screen fades to black.*

*The scene opens up with a shot of a snow globe with a tiny wrestling ring and two figures kissing in the middle of it. The camera pans out to show that it is resting on a mantle with many other snow globes in a very nice apartment. A younger blonde woman wearing a stunning light blue dress suddenly walks by attaching a diamond earring to her left ear. The young woman seems to be in a hurry as she turns behind her and calls out.*
Melanie Abel: Adam, if we are going to make our reservation we are going to have to leave in the next 10 minutes! Isn't it the woman who is supposed to be holding the couple up anyway?
*Adam walks into the room talking on his cell phone and giving his wife a irritated look in response to her comment.*
Adam Abel: Yeah Jeremy, I completely understand your predicament. Its really a tough situation that Andrew Franklin walked out on you. I heard he did the the same to PWA. Yeah, he does seem like he is kind of a tool.
*Adam listens to Jeremy Sterling talk while Melanie smirks at her husband as she jokingly taps her wrist where a watch would be.*
Adam Abel: Look, I would love to join your company and I would be honored to be in the first Main Event back. Yeah, I do believe that Josh Eagles and I can put on a great match, we have done it time and time before. Thank you for the opportunity. Okay then, I'll fax the contract back to you tomorrow. Okay. Bye.
*Adam puts his iphone back into his suit pocket and looks at his wife with a big smile.*
Melanie Abel: So, I guess it was good news then?
Adam Abel: You are officially looking at the newest member of Kingdom of Pride!
*Melanie claps her hands excitedly as she jumps into her husband's arms and they share a sweet and tender kiss.*
Melanie Abel: What a fantastic birthday gift! I know you were bummed out that you couldn't find a company to go to after PWF closed down! I'm so happy for you!
Adam Abel: I figured something would work out...And did you say that was a fantastic birthday gift? Well then...
*Adam pulls away from the embrace and pulls out a dark blue Tiffany's box and shakes it teasingly in front of his wife's suddenly widened and shocked eyes.*
Adam Abel: I guess you don't need THIS gift then...Oh well, I guess I can take it back.
*Melanie reaches out and quickly grabs the package out of Adam's hand with a smirk.*
Melanie Abel: This is really sweet, but you shouldn't have. I'm sure this was really expensive...
Adam Abel: If a man can't spoil the woman he loves, who can he spoil?
*Melanie opens up the box and gasps when she looks inside.*
Melanie Abel: Oh Adam, its beautiful!
*Melanie reaches in and pulls out a very nice diamond necklace. Adam takes it from her and gently puts in on her as she walks towards a mirror and looks at her reflection with it on. Adam walks up behind her and kisses her gently on the shoulder.*
Adam Abel: So I take it that you like your birthday gift?
Melanie Abel: Oh sweetheart, its so beautiful. Thank you.
Adam Abel: Well, its beauty pales in comparison to yours.
*Melanie turns around and wraps her arms around her husband's neck.*
Melanie Abel: Smooth talker.
*The happy couple kiss as the screen fades out.*

*Adam Abel is shown bench pressing weights as his older brother, Greg is spotting him. They are in the now famous Team Abel Training Facility that Greg owns. People are various shapes and ages are working out all around them as the Abel's seem to be focused on the task at hand. The two brothers are in the middle of a conversation as we join them.*
Greg Abel: I told you that you couldn't go wrong with diamonds...Its about damn time you took my advice.
*Adam slightly chuckles as he strains to get another rep up.*
Adam Abel: Ugh...I guess diamonds really are a girl's best friend.
*Adam brings the bar down slowly again and then struggles to bring it back up.*
Greg Abel: Man, you've barely been out of action and now you can barely bench anymore! I thought I only had one sister, but I guess I have two now!
*Adam shoots an evil glare at his older brother as he racks the weights and sits up. Greg chuckles at his joke as he grabs a water bottle and hands it to his sweating younger brother who takes a generous drink out of it.*
Greg Abel: Do you want to do some squat lifts, or do you think that your skirt will get in the way of that?
Adam Abel: Why don't you piss off Greg?
Greg Abel: Aw, I'm just busting your balls a bit. Isn't that what brothers do? Don't take it so wicked personal.
*Adam just smirks as he takes another drink from the water bottle.*
Greg Abel: So, where is this new place you are wrestling at?
Adam Abel: Its in Knoxville, Tennessee. It's a pretty small company, but I am really excited to join up. They used to be a big player in the independent scene and I know they can build it back up with some of a talent they have signed. This is a good place for me.
Greg Abel: I'm happy for you. Who is your first opponent?
*Adam stands up and walks over to a table that has a bunch of white towels folded on it. Abel pulls one off the top and uses it to wipe the sweat off of his face.*
Adam Abel: Josh Eagles.
*Greg laughs once he hears the name before speaking.*
Greg Abel: Again? Isn't this about the millionth time you guys have squared off?
*Adam looks back with a smile at his brother and begins to answer him, but he is cut off as a college aged kid walks up and speaks quietly to Greg. Greg nods as the kid walks off.*
Adam Abel: Something wrong?
Greg Abel: Well, Samantha Davis from NESN just showed up...I guess she heard you were booked in a match and wanted to get a soundbyte with you. Apparently everyone is excited about the Boston kid getting shown on the internet again. You up for speaking to her?
Adam Abel: Sure, just let me get cleaned up first. Tell her I'll be out in 20?
*Greg nods as they both head off in opposite directions, Greg to the lobby and Adam to the locker room.*
A Few Minutes Later
"This is a New England Sports Network Exclusive...."
*After the title screen intro the shot switches to a two shot of a dark haired younger woman holding a NESN microphone standing next to Adam Abel.*
Samantha Davis: Good afternoon New England Sports Fans, we'll get back to the Red Sox week in review in a few minutes, but right now I have an exclusive interview with a man who needs no introduction..Former PWF World Heavyweight Champion and Boston's own "Astonishing" Adam Abel! It is so great to see you! What have you been up to lately?
Adam Abel: Well, thank you for the great introduction...I have been keeping myself very busy as of late. As of this morning, I have officially joined the Kingdom of Pride promotion that is based out of Knoxville. I'm very excited to get another opportunity to climb into the ring and its always great to know that I have the great fans of Boston and all of New England in my corner.
Samantha Davis: Well, the internet boards have been a buzz ever since it was announced that you were joining and WFXT Boston has officially announced that they will be airing the weekly television tapings on Saturday nights at midnight so all the fans in Boston and the surrounding areas can tune in to see you!
Adam Abel: That is some great news...I didn't hear about that until now so you surprised me. I can also announce that PrideWrestling.com will feature every match as well...But enough of the cheap plugs, I don't think everyone wants to hear about where and how you can find the matches...I think they want to hear about who I am facing...a man named Josh Eagles.
Samantha Davis: You and Josh have quite a history.
*Adam smirks at this obvious statement.*
Adam Abel: You can say that. Josh Eagles and I have had our stars crossed it seems. Everywhere I go, every step I take...it seems to run right into Josh Eagles. I think its because we have the same goals in mind. We both want to win and we both love to hear the crowds cheering for us...But you see, that is all Josh and I have in common.
Samantha Davis: Oh really? How so?
Adam Abel: Well Samantha, a couple of months ago I was in a pretty dark and sad place. I was dealing with a family crisis and it finally reached a breaking point where I needed to take a step away from the business that I love and focus on my family unit. My mother was very sick and she needed the family's support to get better...But I had one more match to fulfill in Pro Wrestling Fire...a match between myself, Jack Benevolence and Josh Eagles. Everyone backstage knew that this was going to be my last match for a while...Everyone knew that I wanted to go out with a little bit of class...but Josh decided to take pot shots at me and left me and my family with a bad taste in my mouth.
*Adam sighs deeply as he looks towards the ground.*
Adam Abel: I remember when I walked into my mother's hospital room before her surgery and her asking my why did Josh say those things about me.
Samantha Davis: Do you remember what was said? Some viewers may not have heard..
Adam Abel: I remember every damn word. "Maybe it's time for Adam to realize that his time is the one that has passed. Everyday that passes the fans of the PWF lose more and more and more faith in him, they watch as his passion and his caring takes a slip out the door and won't be back anytime soon. He couldn't handle one loss after climbing so far and you know what if I cost Adam that title and proved that he had no spine, no will, and no fight, if I exposed him as a fraud of a fan favorite and champion then I am going to take the golden lining and walk away and do my best to be a better man then Abel."
*Adam shakes in anger as he remembers that statement in vivid detail. Davis begins to speak again but Abel takes the microphone and speaks again.*
Adam Abel: Josh, who exactly do you think you are talking about? Aren't you the same man who was begging to be my friend weeks before that? Talking about how I saved you and made you become a better person...And in my time of need, in my time of darkness...You take shots at me like that. What kind of man are you Josh? Do you think I would just laugh it off and forget it? Did you really believe that Adam Abel wouldn't be back? There is an old saying..."Don't let your mouth write checks that you cannot cash"...I guess we are going to find out if your new little "corporate self" can back your words up. I'm going to beat you this week Josh. This isn't going to be an easy little match where you walk out, soaking in the adulation of the fans...You think you exposed me as a fraud? I'm more popular that ever. People see my true heart every time I go out there. I'm proud and honored that the people cheer me, but it seems that you have been in this business for so long that you think you just deserve the cheers without having to work for them anymore. It would make me sad if it didn't make me so sick.
*Adam stops for a second shaking his head in disgust before looking into the camera with a focused look on his face.*
Adam Abel: Josh, I want you to do me a favor this week...and I don't think its a big one. Be prepared. Be ready for this match. Go to the gym, take a run, spar with partners...whatever you want or need to do to be your best. Because that is who I want in the ring this week. I want to compete against the best Kingdom of Pride has to offer...and even though I may not like you, I do respect you. And this week after I beat you, I'm going to make sure you respect me and that you NEVER say anything like you did about me before. This is a new company, and I'm willing to let this be a new start...Lets make the most of it and show the great fans exactly what we can do.
*Adam smiles and nods before letting his face get serious one more time.*
Adam Abel: But one word of warning...Josh, don't ever say anything about my family again. If they want to support me and get me ready for my match, that is their right. You showed me what kind of depths you are willing to go to get into an opponents head. You've shown me how low you are willing to go. But I promise you, if you say something like that about my family, my friends or my fans again....I WILL CRUSH YOU. What you are looking at right now is the most dangerous Adam Abel you have ever stepped into the ring with. I'm focused, I'm determined and I am going to bring the fight to you this weekend. This is a chance of a lifetime and I am not willing to let it slip through my fingers. You better be ready Josh...Because I will be.
*Adam hands the microphone back to Samantha.*
Adam Abel: Thank you for letting me clear my mind.
*With that, Adam Abel walks off the screen leaving a stunned Davis standing there. Davis waits a few seconds before turning back to the camera and smiling.*
Samantha Davis: Well, Adam Abel is back and he seems as focused as ever! Josh Eagles will have his work cut out for him this weekend. For the New England Sports Network...I'm Samantha Davis.
*The screen fades to black.*
