Alcoholic Anonymous
(The scene opens up and were inside of a an office, it is surrounded by people in a circle, people from all different kinds. As we pan around we see Anton Chase dressed in black jeans, and a black t-shirt. A blonde women in her early thirties enter the room and sit in an empty chair. She is wearing a beige coloured shirt with a white buttoned shirt which looks professional.)
Anna: Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for your attendance here today for Alcoholic Anonymous, my name is Anna and I'm here to help you, so let's start off with you sir.
(Anna points to the man next to him, who is an middle-age man with brown hair and a few tattoos on his neck can be shown)
Jack: My name is Jack I'm 28 years old, I have a partner and we have two kids but my drinking is getting out of control and she's threatened to leave me a few times and take my kids.
Anna: And Jack what makes you think you need to go and have a drink?
Jack: I guess it's the feeling of being a failure, I cannot bond with the children and I try, not to mention that work is constantly causing problems in our relationship and I need the release that a simple drink can offer.
Anna: What do you do Jack?
Jack: Well I work for a car manufacturer and I'm working every hour I can.
Anna: Well what it seems is that you need to take some time off and be away from the stress of work and be with the family, if you're struggling to bond with the children then work is irrelevant.
Jack: I'm the only one who's working in our family?
Anna: That I understand but everyone is entitled to a vacation and family is most important.
(Jack leans back on his chair and starts thinking)
Anna: Next you Miss.
(Anna points to a middle-aged Brunette women in her forties)
Sarah: My name is Sarah, I have a little girl who's 8 years old who I never get to see because she's was taken from me by social services. I work as a waitress and I have a bottle of vodka every night to calm me down.
Anna: Do you want to see your little girl Sarah?
(Sarah looks at Anna with frustration)
Sarah: Of course I do.
Anna: And your desire to drink is what's costing you a relationship with your daughter. This can easily be stopped by your will power and help by a buddy system. Everyone in this room needs a buddy to help them stop or step back that need for a drink and Sarah you can stop drinking. It's focusing on what's important to you and proving the people wrong.
(Anna looks at Anton points to him)
Anna: You Sir please.
Anton: My name's Anton, I'm 32 years old and I'm a pro wrestler. I've been wrestling for fifteen years and I've been sober up until this last few months for 20 years.
Anna: So Anton if you've been sober for so long what caused you to fall back on the wagon?
Anton: In my business it revolves around wins and recently I've been losing matches.
Anna: And has that caused your to lose money over it.?
Anton: No my contract is Iron-clad and I'm one of the best wrestlers in the world. I can wrestle multiple times and in multiple companies. Hell I can retire right now and live life in luxury.
Anna: So why have you decided to come to Alcoholic Anonymous today?
Anton: Passion.
Anna: Passion. I don't understand.
(Anton laughs)
Anton: Passion gets' me up every morning and what drives me to compete.
Anna: What brought you here Anton?
(Anton looks at Anna with a frown)
Anton: I've never had to do this, if I've fallen off the wagon it would be easy to get back off the drink. But recently it has affected my job. I need to start winning again and I have a big opportunity coming up.
Anna: What's the opportunity?
(Anna asks)
Anton: I get to face Blair Kivisto for the Redemption Genesis championship.
Anna: And why is this so important?
Anton: It's important to me because I was the first Redemption Genesis champion and I want that title back.
Anton: And what's stopping you?
Anton: I've not had a drink in three days and I already feel the need for a drink but I see the bigger picture. But there's always that thought.
Anna: So what do you think you can do to stop thinking about a drink?
(Anton sits and ponders for a minute)
Anton: Redirecting my focus. This Genesis championship mean a lot to me.
Anna: Speaking with you Anton, I know that you can claim back the title. You need to
continue focusing on your match, and have a buddy system.
Anton: A Buddy system? someone else who can leech off me. I'm more of a loner.
Anna: And that's maybe your problem. The buddy system works.
Anton: I know what works for me and three days not having a drink I'm enjoying it. I'm focused on my match.
Anna: Anton if there is a slight chance of you falling off, you need to ask for help.
Anton: Maybe.

Memphis, Tennessee
A Hotel Room
(The scene opens up with Anton Chase dressed in some blue jeans and a leather jacket sitting at a coffee table in his hotel room. Anton who is viewing his laptop)
"So what's different from the last time you all saw me, what's different from the last time you saw me in a Redemption ring where I lost against Aiden Morrow. It's been a few weeks since then and the difference is I've had my eyes open. I've come the realisation that if I don't stop drinking that my career in the end will be a disgraced. So this week I attended an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting and it gave me an insight of actually how damn lucky I've been in my life. From working hard to be able to retire right now if I wish. But that's not what I wish. I wish to continue and prove to everyone that I still got it. That I can still go with the best of them that on my worst day nobody can out-wrestle me in a ring."
(Anton pauses)
"But it wasn't just being at an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting that made me realise, it was a passing of a celebrity musician. A man age 41 years old with six kids, died recently. Leaving six kids behind dying of drugs and alcohol. Now his kids are left without a father, sure they may be financially sorted but mentally those kids will be broken."
(Anton watches the video in the background on his laptop)
"You're probably wondering where am I going with this. Well if I died tomorrow all my material belongs will be separated between my siblings. But my legacy is different. That is something I need to rebuild and make stronger. And at age 32 there's no time like the present."
(Anton smirks)
"Which brings me to my opponent this Sunday at Glory she is the current Genesis Champion Blair Kivisto. So I guess congratulations are in order of being the Genesis Champion right now because I bet your flying high and everything is falling into place for you right Blair. I mean beating Trixie and becoming the champ, that is a legacy you can tell your kids about. Because Blair to be frank, your title reign stops at Glory."
(Anton smiles with that cocky arrogance)
"I know that you think your destined to face off against Mason Moore for the Genesis championship, well erase that from your head right now because no matter what happens to me, I am always considered a contender. And that has granted me a title-shot against you which means you're fresh out of luck. And to be honest Blair it's not that hard to get into Mason Moore small-brain, I remember mentioning him being a steroid freak once and he ranted all over twitter for days. But I'm not like Mason Moore. I've actually worked for my place."
(Anton pauses)
"I've got nothing against you personally Blair, in fact you're impressive. I've been watching you. Studying you and getting to know your flaws, which you have. And that's exactly what I plan on doing and exposing your flaws and becoming a two-time Genesis champion."
(Anton smiles)
"Blair I don't have a family to go to, I sacrificed that opportunity to build a career and I've done exactly that. Wrestling is everything to me and my legacy is everything to me. And when I'm gone I want people to remember my legacy. I want people to remember me being Genesis champion once again so Blair, I'm telling you this right now I'm back better than ever and I'm taking MY Genesis championship back, see you soon."
