July 25
WCG Training Center, El Segundo, CA
Kimo and Kate are sparring in the practice ring, each one training for their respective matches. Kimo's younger brother, Nick, having just returned from New Zealand after winning the Wushu World Championship, is there to watch and s well as get a quick workout in. Fittingly enough for Kimo to be sparring with his wife, Kate, seeing as how she has a similar style to his upcoming opponent, Shawn Young. By the looks of things they've been at it for quite some time.
The two lock up in the center of the ring. After a few moments, Kate uses an Irish Whip, sending her husband in to the ropes on the far aide of the ring. What he doesn't know as he rebounds is that Kate is setting him up for the move that gave her her nickname, The One Winged Angel.
He notices the setup a little too late as the last thing he see before crashing to the canvas is his wife's boot coming down on his head. Upon contact, he gets sent to the floor faster than you can say "erin go bragh."
Kimo (face down on the mat): ...ow...
Kate: Wasn't the CWA Women's champ for nothin, babe.
Kimo, trying to recover from the kick to the head, manages to get to on knee.
Kimo: I can see - no, I can FEEL - that.
Nick: Dude, normally you would've seen something like that coming as soon as you hit the rebound. What gives?
Kimo: That match left a taste of ass in my mouth.
Kate/Nick: Pagan?
Kimo: *punches the canvas* I underestimated him. I thought it was going to be another Alex Young situation, but this is totally different.
Nick: Yeah, and that was a different company. The AWA was years ago, the WCG is now. You always said "it's hard to move forward running backwards with you eyes shut." It's time you practiced what you preached, brah.
Kate: yeah all you did was talked about who you were. Everyone knows what you've done. The fans don't want to hear about the past, they want to see what you have planned for the future. You always gave the fans what they wanted, what's stopping you from doing that now?
Nick: *Looks at his new sister in law* I can see why he married you.
Kimo: I've been running on my past for a while, haven't I.
Nick: Yeah. That tank is dry now, you gotta focus on today, and what you want for tomorrow. I remember when you realized you had a cause to fight for, you wanted to show the people like you that they can be the hero, that they are capable of greatness. There was a fire in you that I haven't seen in a long time. What happened? Was it put out that easily? Or did you just abandon the cause as quickly as you pickked it up? Because that's not the Peter I know and that's definitely not the Peter that your wife married. There are people watching that look up to you amd YOU are letting them down.
Stop spouting old war stories and get in the fight going on now. You're not facing Alex Young, your facing SHAWN Young. You can't rely on you past, but you can use it for your future. Remember Berlin? When Woodrum drove your head into the side of the cage and busted it open?
Kimo: Yeah, I dedinitely made him pay for that.
Nick: Do you remember the feeling you had when you saw your own blood?
Kimo: Yeah, like I wanted to kill him.
Nick: And how did you feel when Pagan cheated a win out of you?
Kimo: Now THAT pissed me off. He humiliated me in that match.
Nick: And how do you feel now?
Kimo: That I want to make him PAY. Nobody humiliates me like that and gets away with it!
Nick: You feel that? The drive, the determination, the intensity? That's the Peter that I know.
Kate: That's the man I married.
Nick: Remember what he did. Keep that fire burning like that. Knowing you when you two meet in the ring next...
Kimo: There'll be nothing left of him but ashes.
Kate: Exactly, but for now. We send him a message. Your opponent seems to be a respectable guy, but he's in the way between you and Pagan.
Nick: And when your like this, thats like being a rabbit in the way of a 18 wheeler. I've seen you like this before. Back in your MMA days you almost put a guy in intensive care when you got like this.
Kimo: Yeah, but Shawn just got back from medical leave.
Nick: I'm not saying put him back in the hospital. This guy is an obstacle between you and payback. I don't want you to simply overcome this obstacle, I want you to drive right through him.
Kimo: I get it.
Nick: And if you win this. When you get your chance at payback, Aaron and I will be right there with you to lay down the challenge. It'll be just like old times.
Kimo: For real?
Nick: Yeah, buy only if you win.
Kate: Now I know I married into a good family. Now as much as I enjoyed thisnlittle pep talk, remember youre not the only one with a match on saturday. Now rolling with you is great and all babe, but I need someone more my speed to prep against Danielle.
Kimo: That's why Nick's here.
Nick: I'm sorry?
Kimo: (to Nick) I didn't bring you here to just watch us dude. (To Kate) He's the closest thing we got to someone that fights like Danielle. I figured if you can land what you did to me on him, you have a chance.
Nick:....
Kate: Interesting, you know a lot of people want to beat the crap out of their in-laws, but very few actually get the opportunity.
Kimo: Yeah, but unlike most of those people we actually have a reason to do it.
Kate: Does he know what to do?
Nick: I'm his go to guy when he's pitted agains the flyers and faster opponents. I know what's up.
Kate: Well, lets hope you have good healthcare, bro.
Nick: You'll have to hit me first.
He enters the ring and the two new in laws size each other up before locking up in the ring.
July 28th
Basement Gym, The Beach House, Redondo Beach, CA.
Kimo and Kate are getting in a quick warm up before they head down to Yuba City. Kimo is kust finishing up a quick set on the weight bench. While Kate is getting some stretching done.
Kate: You ready to go?
Kimo: Yup, bag's packed. You got Sully situated?
Kate: Yup. He's already at your mum's.
Kimo: Good.
Kate: Good thing Ed got my gear here on time.
Kimo: That reminds me.
He racks the bar, gets up amd walks toward a closet in the basement.
Kate: What?
Kimo: Well, you're called the One Winged Angel, right? So i had something made, to make you look the part.
He reaches into the closet to pull out a garment bag and hands it to Kate. She opens it up to find a perfect, fitted replica of Sephiroth's trench coat from Final Fantasy VII.
Kate: Babe you shouldn't have.
Kimo: I didn't think an ten foot long Katana would be a legal weapon to use. So I got you the next best thing.
Kate: Man this just made my night. I'm gonna go get the car ready. We got a long drive ahead.
Kimo: I'll be right behind you.
Kate heads up the stairs off screen
Kimo: There are only two things a man needs to be happy. Respect, and someone to love him. I'm glad I still have the latter. The former, was taken from me by Pagan, amd I will stop at nothing to get it back from him. Even if it's through someone like you.
I have to agree with what my brother said a couple days ago. You're a respectable guy. But you have the misfortune of being my opponent after what happened two weeks ago which means you are standing between me and getting back what respect I've earned in this business. Whether you're a decent human being or not. That is not a place where you want to be.
You're right, my brother's right, my wife is right. I've been living in the past all this time. Thats why I haven't grown as a wrestler. I've forgotten the cause I've fought for as soon as I picked it up. I abandoned the hopes of the kids and the people that look up to me. How can I live up to their expectations if I'm willing let them down so easily?
Im glad my brother was there. What you and him both said were bitter pills to swallow, but it was medicine that I seriously needed, and you have my respect for that.
Nevertheless, that doesnt mean I'm just going to give you this win. Like I said before, you're in the way of something that I want back. I don't want to put you back on medical leave, your fans miss you, and you and them have a lot of catching up to do, but if you continue to be an obstacle, I can't promise that you won't walk away from this unscathed.
So tonight I'm going to use you to send a message. And the message is simple: This is just what I do to people that I respect. Imagine what I do to the people that I hate when they're in the ring with me.
Now somebody has to be the bearer of this message, unfortunately that person has to be you. It's nothing personal, but this needs to be done.
I hope you're ready, Shawn.
