~ The Same Thing Over And Over ~

["The New Era Icon" David Calaz]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This company has a future, this week the future of not just the business but the wrestling industry will face off, one on one.

The biggest match of the year, forget about your G-Dawg vs. Szaban's, your Hellfire House of Fun matches. It comes down to this. "The New Era Icon" David Calaz vs. Jordan "Bullet Proof" Glass. Does it get any better?

One side of the ring there will be a man possessed, someone hell bent on causing destruction. Still reminiscing of the past but looking toward the future. A future World Heavyweight Champion. Then on the other side of the ring... A screw job that’s slowly losing control of his own well being and if it continues will surely slip up and lose what little he has left.

It's Certainly going to be iconic to say the least, and there will only be one winner. and that will be the icon of the new era himself, "The New Era Icon" David Calaz...

Pacing the grey, hollow corridors of the XVI arena, Calaz's footsteps echo throughout, wearing his usual attire of green and black, and the personally made jacket the "Gentleman" Jerry Garcia made for him. He runs his hands slowly through his hair and rubs his chin as if in a deep state of thought. He continues this process for a few minutes until he is startled by a female voice coming from behind him.

~ Becs ~
Boo!, Hey handsome, what'cha doin'?

Calaz stops pacing and turns to Becs, she leans forward and kisses him softly, as they pull away they smile to each other and begin to walk down the corridor together.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
I was just thinking about my match, You know I have Jordan Glass right...But wait till you see what I managed to persuade Mak into giving us, when we get around this corner I want you to shut your eyes, OK?

As they go around the corner Becs obliges to Calaz's request and Calaz guides her down the corridor to a glossy, brown, wooden door. Calaz's hands peel away from Becs face and she opens her eyes as a look of glee comes across her. She stares at the door for a second and looks at the sign reading "Personal Locker Room 1, "The New Era Icon" David Calaz and Becs". Becs turns to Calaz and throws her arms around him.

~ Becs ~
You did it, he gave you the room, what did you have to do to get this then?

Calaz smiles and shakes his head.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Nothing, I asked him and he said yeah, he said that looking after the future is what he is all about, so here we are, go on look inside

He ushers Becs inside the locker room. It is painted white, it has its own sofa and T.V. set, plants and mirrors are placed in the corners, there is a personal bathroom and all sorts of pictures on the walls. Becs face lights up at the new locker room she has.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
It’s an improvement from the first room they gave me anyway

They both laugh and walk toward the sofa when they hear the sound of the toilet being flushed come from the bathroom. They stare at the door for a while until it opens and through it steps Ticker. He stares blankly at the two of them who stare back. Calaz's face turns angry as Ticker tries to speak.

~ Ticker ~
Listen Dave I just came in coz i couldn’t find a toilet and I needed the toi...

Calaz raises his hand and takes in a deep breath causing Ticker to stop mid sentence. He lowers his hand and points at Ticker.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Who...In the blue hell, are you?

~ Ticker ~
Well...you see, I'm...

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
It doesn't matter who you are...sorry I couldn’t resist, I know who you are, your that chump Ticker, claiming your the best rookie in the business, well I have news for you, your not, neither is Justin Evens and neither is Damien Necro, The best rookie in this industry...is me

Calaz stares angrily into Tickers eyes, he then nudges forward slightly causing Ticker to startle, Calaz smiles menacingly and motions to Ticker to get out, Ticker happily obliges and runs for the door shutting it quickly behind him

~ Becs ~
What the hell was all that about Dave?

Calaz turns back to Becs and shrugs he sits down on the couch and a flick on the T.V. Becs sits down next to him and cuddles up close to him.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
I dunno where it came from, he pissed me off, just like a lot of the other superstars have lately, and when Jordan Glass mentioned my age in his promo, well I've been in a bad mood ever since

Becs turns to Calaz and sits up slightly still laying in his arms though; she looks puzzled as she starts to talk.

~ Becs ~
But why does that bother you so much?

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
Because it's the thing that everyone says, they always comment on my age, they say that I'm just a kid, legally I'm a child, but physically and mentally I'm more of a man than the majority of these guys. I mean I’ve been in XVI since day one, and I’ve been through a lot more stuff than the majority of these people, yet I still get disrespected because I’m 17 years old, I mean come on, who else can say they have done what I have done, but...that doesn't matter to them, to them, I'm just a no good kid, Well let me tell you this... I've now had enough so this week I will show Jordan the full force of my power and potential, I will rip him apart, I will break him until he cannot be broken anymore... I will break the glass.

Becs sits up on the chair and looks Calaz straight in the eyes; they stare at each other for a second until she throws her arms around him.

~ Becs ~
What ever happens, I will be there for you, at ringside and when you get back after your victory, you know what, your really doing him proud, I bet he is sitting up there telling everyone else what a great guy you really are

Calaz kisses Becs on the top of her head and smiles to himself; he looks up toward the ceiling and nods his head.

~ “The New Era Icon” David Calaz ~
I damn well hope so Becs...I hope so

The camera backs off from the couple sitting on the sofa and leaves throught the door as the scene fades to black.

When does a boy...become a man?

Is it when he comes of age, or is age just merely a number? Does a boy become a man when he proves himself worthy; well this boy has done enough to be considered worthy of being a man. The taunting stops now, his actions will speak louder than his words. And his opponents will suffer the consiquences.
