~ Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) ~

~ Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) ~

~ Some people have asked me what would give a man power over his opponents. My answer is simple……..skill! If you have the skill then of course you have the power. This Meltdown is going to prove one thing that my debut match was and is a fluke! I have the skills and I will show it against Bonafide! Bonafide…….(Laughing) Poodles, when you’re laying on the ground looking up and see my hand held up in victory, then you know the deck was stacked against you! ~

~ The cards of truth and time will always show you the way………… ~

Time: 4:19 AM
Date: December 31, 2004
Location: A Hotel in Canada

{The scene opens up to a lonely, empty, and should be condemned hotel room in Canada. Inside this hell hole, lying amongst the bed exists a man that on this day has renewed hope. A man so confident in his skills as a wrestler, that the only thing on this man’s mind is…………}

~ A mark of Death in his name ……. ~

[I will win, I must! It’s the only way to prove that I still have it!]

{Tossing and turning with the thoughts of his last match going through his mind, it’s clear that the man will get no sleep tonight.}

~ Spades of power that show no limit………… ~

[Bonafide? What a loser, the man has all of these grand delusions that cause he is a WWA veteran that he can beat me!]

{The man gets up and hits heads to the TV and turns it on. (Tsunami has claimed many lives in the island.) Poor people never saw that immediate doom coming. How could they when the world has a mask over there eyes that everything is alright. Was the Almighty punishing them? Well punished or not, the man promises himself that he will not make a repeat of last week. He looks outside to see that rain has begun to fall.}

~ Anger and misguide ness will go up to the Ace of Spades….. ~

[The rain still haunts me to this day as a reminder of the travesty that I have endured! It has truly been a long road I’ve had to endure.]

{The man looks up as if he is looking past the roof of the dirty hotel, up to the heavens above.}

[There is no going back to the way I was before! No regrets and definitely no looking back!]

{But that was not meant to be.}

::::: Flash Back :::::


{The scene reopens to a time long ago in the middle of the night at Fort Carson 7th Infantry Division of Colorado. A man is seen leaving a bar with a child holding an ice cream cone in his hand get into the mans car and drives off. Moments later the car crashes into a nearby lake reportedly killing the kid instantly. Even though there was no body found the man was still charged with a DUI and manslaughter.}

::::: Flashback Ends :::::

{A past he can never get away from no matter how hard he tries.}

[My fault……..It’s all my fault………….It’s all my damn fault!!!!!! How could I be so damn stupid? I had a promising Military Career, a fiancé and the respect of my family and it’s gone…….all gone! But……. That part in my life is all over for me now……. No more will I continue to persecute myself for the sins of the past!]

::::: PHONE RINGS :::::

{The man walks to the phone.}

Ace: Hello… yes this is Ace…..sure autograph session tomorrow. Thanks!

{The man now revealed as WWA’s Ace goes inside to the bathroom after the phone…..There is no turning back now, the man with the weird hair witch he likes to call Poodles will go down…….he must. All he needs is to stay focus and concentrate on my career.}

~ The end will come for the man known as Bonafide The Ace of Spades has marked you! ~

~ If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
Harry Shearer ~

~ To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.
Charles Caleb Colton (1780 - 1832), Lacon, 1825 ~

{The scene fades to black.}
