View full promo

<>The scene opens with Brody Steele sitting at a bar taking a drink of an amber liquid. Most likely bourbon. He drains the glass, and looks up at the commercial for the upcoming AWS event. He hasn’t even spoken to Hector yet. Brody takes his phone out, and goes to his Social Media Live account. It’s time he speaks about his upcoming match<>

Brody: Hector, a name that is known all over the wrestling industry. Some call him a Legend. Some call him an Icon. I call him, next. My next victim. My next opponent, who will fall by my hands. You see Hector. You allowed your old friend Kaleb, to get you into a wreck. You know why, he won’t be with me Hector? It is because, he trusts me. I’m not Bram. Who turned his back on trying to be a Champion. *He shakes his head no* Kaleb knows I can, and will be. He said, I was too unstable, and he couldn’t put his name on me. He was ashamed of the monster, I’ve become. So, what does he do? He lines you up to face me. And what will I do? I will first beat Hector, and then I will be facing none other than Jenny Kay …once again!!

<>Brody chuckles at himself. The thoughts were racing around in his head. Seemingly becoming unhinged. He looks back towards the camera<>

Brody: You see Hector, AWS closed the last time …saving you all. And since then, I’ve traveled the Indies. Making a name for myself, as I went. Looking, and waiting for AWS to finally reopen. And it’s poetic, that it’s in the place it started. Because the time of Venegas, will end as fast as it started. And after I am finished with you, I will finish my quest next. You’re just the beginning once I tear past you … Nygma can’t run. There isn’t anyone else he can hide behind. At Hot Summe’s Night, I will win the American Title. The mark, I am making in AWS will go down in the history books. Since Ikon went back to being known as AWS …I have been training. I was supposed to take my Father’s place in the old office. And who was chosen? Bram, and what did he do? Did he fall in line? No!! He went against all of you, and now his plague runs deep.

<>Brody pauses to read some of the fans remarks. He smirks<>

Brody: Me facing Hector, comes down to two things. One is who will the man across the ring is. The coward that’s been hiding in the depths, and barely making himself noticed. Or two, the man that came out and placed the first defeat to the notorious Jenny Kay? Either way, I’m ready. He doesn’t stand a chance at beating me.

<>Brody pauses reading a remark again. This time he, looks surprised<>

Brody: Hector is someone, that I’m not even putting a focus on. The end effect is, I am going to beat you. You will look up at me, with my music playing. Hand raised in victory. I hope you’re ready. And I hope you bring the same Eric, that Bram faced. I want you to be clear-minded. With that Hector, I’ll see you in the ring. It seems several people believe, you will take me down a few pegs. But I will show you along with the rest of AWS. See you soon, Hector.

*The Social Media Live account comes to an end. Brody seems mad from a few comments Hector’s fans had to say*

**Part Two**

<>The scene opens with Brody wearing a T-shirt that says, “Wrestling World Acknowledges Wealth”. He has worn down jeans with holes in his knee, his hands are taped, and you can see from the sweat outlines on his shirt that he's been training. He has on some wrestling boots, that you can see visible from underneath the legs of his jeans. Off in the distance you, see Bram Connan taking a drink of his water. He looks over at Brody, who is just beginning to cut his promo<>

Brody: Hector, make no mistake about it. I respect you. I realize you’re a Legend in the business. To be the best, you have to first defeat them. As far as beating you ...

<>Brody pauses for a moment, and then continues<>

Brody: I’ve talked to Bram. He turned his back on me. He said, I wasn’t stable enough. I’m too much of a wild card. And make no mistake there, either. I must be a mad man to team with KD, and go against the best the business has to offer. So far, KD hasn’t given me a reason to turn on him. And like they say. If you’re not with us, your against us. So, while you have made it clear who you have with you. I know, who will be at ring side with you. The question remains. Will they watch you lose to me?

<>Brody gets closer to the camera<>

Brody: Will you, Hector? Or will you come up to me, and show me the respect I f*cking deserve? Because we all know to stand in the ring with an Icon. That speaks for itself. Now Hector, I see which version I’m getting …and the version, that I was hoping for. Will I achieve the unthinkable here? Can I beat you? I’m excited for our match. And I’m giving it my all, Hector. I’m asking the same of you. Give me all you got, and give me some more. I want your blood. If you can collect mine, then so be it.

<>Brody gathers his last thoughts<>

Brody: And your remarks about my next match. It’ll be for the Title. Now if I have learned one thing, it’s that I better be on my A game …cause I plan on taking that Title home. As far as viewing you as enemies. At this point you are. You’re my next opponent, and my next victim. After this match, we can shake hands, if that’s what you want. Cause Hector, I’ve looked up to you my entire childhood and early on in my career. One of two things will come out of this match. Either, we shake hands. Win or lose. Or we become bitter rivals. I’m not cocky. I’m confident, I’m confident, that I’ll push you farther than you have ever been before. Whether or not, I win or lose …isn't the question, cause you see Hector. I noticed something when it comes to you, you get a fixation on something, and it doesn't let up. Your fixation on Bram and Steele Enterprises …and everything about them. It shows a character flaw with you. And it’s a character flaw, that I am willing to exploit to do the unimaginable. And that’s to beat a Legend. We have something in common. Neither of us have ever come out the same, after facing Bram.

<>Brody takes a glass from sitting at the office desk, and he walks over to a little shelf in the corner that has various kinds of liquor and different bottles. He takes up amber collar liquid. He takes a smell and pours two fingers worth in his glass<>

Brody: Hector, I don’t underestimate you. Not by any means, do I underestimate anybody …that I’m going to be having as an opponent especially one that's highly decorated as yourself. What’s funny to me is, you take what I say and you misconstrue or you twist it into this thought in your head …that I don’t like you. I view you and AWS as enemies. You also think, that just because we both hate my Father and Steele Industries that we should somehow form an alliance. Well, it's not just me that you would have to convince to come to your side, it would be my partner KD as well. I also see that that 5150 Title cuts deep …that’s the same Title that Bram is hunting, right now. So, the question is …after we get done with our match, are you going to call Bram out for a chance at the Title? Are you going to earn your shot at that Title? ‘Cause me, myself, I have a date with Nygma and those dates coming up quick. And when he and I are standing across the ring from each other …there will be no love lost, and I will do anything I can to obtain the American Title. Then I’ll move towards the Legacy, then finally the Asylum Title. You see Hector, you’re not seeing the bigger picture here …and that offer, that you’re offering me to join the mid-carders? Well, that’s a conversation for you and Bram to have and then after you guys have your ducks in a row. Well, you know my number …you can reach me and KD anytime. You can make us another offer; we can't refuse. It seems like there's a lot of tag teams among AWS, and well we all can’t hold the Tag Team Titles …now, can we? So, with that said, Hector …I’ll be looking forward to seeing you in our match, and that match cannot come soon enough.

Scene One

The scene opens up and Hector is seen walking into the conference room of the Herrera Training School. Sitting with him is his wife Martha and his cousin Eric. Hector has a yellow envelope sitting on the table with the engravement AWS on it. He has his hand on his forehead as he sighs. 

Hector: I don't even know why I bother sometimes. It's annoying to see this guy try to recruit us, despite the fact he keeps firing us. It's like he likes messing with us for some reason.

Eric: I feel the same way too. Which is why I am thinking about upping the ante if we do join.

Hector arches an eyebrow.

Hector: What do you mean?

Eric chuckles and runs his hands together.

Eric: Oh, you will find out soon enough. First, I have to make sure we target the right people. Vero is working on that right now.

Hector: I just hope this charade of Charlie using us for his convenience ends. I don't care if he's your father. Something must be done.

Eric: Oh, it will be. You can trust me on that. 

Hector grunts and glares at him.

Hector: You better not walk out on us again.

Eric: That would kill the plan. But I've already said enough. I'll let Vero get in touch with you about that. 

Hector looks on confused while Eric walks away. He turns to Martha and she shrugs back at him. 

Martha: He's weird. I don't know how you put up with him this long.

Hector: You don't know the half of it….

Face to black.

Scene Two

The scene opens and we are in an abandoned warehouse owned by the Society of Destruction. Hector is sitting with Roger and Vero drenched in sweat from training. Vero has a yellow folder and nods back at them.

Vero: Just remember your assignment. We are gonna make sure they remember exactly who we are. 

Hector: I just hope he learns his lesson from all those firings. He may be Eric’s stepfather but he is annoying as hell. He has a punchable face.

Vero chuckles and nods.

Vero: Oh that face is gonna get more than just that once we are done with it.

Hector: Hopefully there is gold to follow after that. 

Roger: And pain. There can't be enough pain and punishment. 

Hector grins and cracks his knuckles.

Hector: And we have quite the victim to start with. It turns out he's the boss's son too. Even better. 

Vero: Now you're getting it. Let's get to work. 

Roger and Hector: Indeed.

Fade to Black.

Scene Three

There is a slow clap that is heard as Hector chuckles at the camera. He nods his head and has a smirk on his face. 

Hector: That was so touching. It sounded so genuine. So genuine that it was … absolutely bullshit.

He spits at the floor and laughs.

Hector: You spend all that time talking all to get the names wrong. I'm not Eric. I'm Hector. How can you possibly confuse me with my cousin? I have more of a killer instinct in me than he ever did. And I'm much younger by a long shot. There's no line I won't cross to get what's mine. While Eric lets his personal feelings hold him back. There is no real comparison. They don't call me El Diablo for nothing. And don't you forget it.

He wins and points at the camera.

Hector: For all the talking you did, it's too bad that I don't actually give a shit. It doesn't matter to me whether it's the American Title or the Toys R Us Title. It's just another catalyst to let my voice be heard. I don't give a shit about the prestige or about the fans. I care about leaving a trail of blood in my path and making sure everyone listens to what I have to say. And that's that the end is near. This company has been run by corruption for a long time and it's time for us to cut the cord. 

He nods and glares at the camera.

Hector: For too damn long we have been censored and shut down by someone we thought we could trust. But that ends now. We are taking back control and there is nothing you can do about it. We are taking down the establishment brick by brick. And it starts by targeting the boss's son, Brody. 

He winks and nods. 

Hector: It's not personal. It's just business. Remember that. 

He chuckles and winks. The scene fades to black.
