What story will you write?

:The camera fades in to see DVD and Mikey Z walking off DVD's private heliplane powered by the fans love and adulation. They both come walking off at the same time and run into each other.:

Dave: No, you go.

Mike: No, I insist.

Dave: No, I implore.

Mike: Dave….I demand.

:Dave pushes Mike. Mike pushes Dave back and they both begin to tumble down the steps. The reach the bottom and Dave had blood running down the corner of his mouth and Mike has blood coming from his news. The both erratically stand u and straighten themselves out. :

Mike: Alright so see ya back here in a few hours ?

Dave: You know it birthday brother.

:There is a luggage handler confused by the entire interaction who walks over to Dave.:

LH: WOW Mr. Van Dam are you okay ?

:Dave laughs and pats him on the back and throws on his sunglasses and walks away. He saunters over to a yellow 67' Shelby and the door swings open. Victoria walks out in a slamming skin tight dress and walks over and gives him a kiss on the cheek.:

Dave: How's little dude?

Victoria: Dude is amazing. Misses his daddy.

Dave: Well I am home now for a little bit so let's head home and see him.

Victoria: Well him and I are going to Cathy and Mike's in a little bit.

:Dave stops her.:

Dave: Why don't you tell her to come stay at the beach house while Mike and I are away. I imagine she could use a vacation!

Victoria: Alright I'll give her a call.

:Dave throws his bag in the back of the car and hops in. V leans in.

Victoria: Hey I'll be back in a few. I need to run to the concourse .

:Victoria shuts her door. Dave just leaves his leg hanging outside the door.:

Dave: A win, is a win, is a win, but damn those boys last week here large and hit hard but at the end of the day Mike and I did what we said we were going to do. We walked out with our hand's raised. So, we move on to this week, Liliana Rose and Phoenix LeStrange while u familiar with their work the word going around the locker room is that they are season, tough, and if we take them for granted we will end up severely disappointed. Well that is no different than last week every though Mike and I would be nothing more than a blip on the APW radar, but what every fail to see is that I have sat dormant for over 5 years. Sitting….brewing……HEALING and each time I step through ropes I get stronger. The fire intensifies and my remembrance of why I love this business has begun to ignite The New Era of Van Dam.

:Dave's phone rings and he looks down and it says "Icon." Dave clicks the ignore button and moves on to the next thought without skipping a beat.:

Dave: See the past is a funny thing. I literally have spent my entire career living off the past I made. The old tired legacy conversations became part of every promo and it got to a point where I was boring and annoying myself. So as The New Era of Van Dam continues to pan out I am truly intrigued by the newness every week will bring. Every opponent that I step through the ropes with will be a new one and a new story to tell and the stepping stone to the next generational of awesome I intend to create, and this week will be no different.

:A guy in a security outfit walks up to Dave, Dave cuts him off before he speaks.:

Dave: My apologies sir, we will be out of your way in a few.

:The security officer reaches into his pocket.:

SO: Stay if you would like Mr. Van Dam I was just hoping for an autograph.

:Dave checks and hops out of the car and gladly signs the autograph, the guy takes the autograph and shakes DVD's hand and walks away. Dave leans across the car and the sun begins to set behind him.:

Dave: Liliana Rose……Phoenix LeStrange…..what story will be telling come next week? Will we take the proverbial pen and write a masterpiece as we beat the living hell out of each other ? Will we write a match that leads the APW down a path of unprecedented success as Mike and I create STARS out of you both? Will we announce you as leaders of the next generations of superstars? OR….more likely…..Mike and I do what we do. We dictate what we want to do. We allow you a sentence or two but that is all because at the end of the day WE are the ones writing this story.

:Victoria slowly begins to walk back towards the card and Dave just glances over and smiles at her:

Dave: So as the hours tick down into minutes I hope you both come strong because we will not be coming with anything less than what our legendary resumes show. We will provide you the platform but who shows up makes this match truly intriguing. The names Rose and LeStrange come with respect so I am counting down the hours to this match. I am excited to have some one who has such respect in this business push me to my limit's again. So, tick tock tick tock.

:Dave hops back into the car and Victoria does the same: The camera slowly fades out as the car fades into the sunset. APW goes to a commercial and is cuts back its see's Dave pull up in front of his house. His mother who is holding his 6-month-old son comes walking out the front door. Dave drops his bag and rushes over and grabs him while planting a kiss on his mothers' cheek. Victoria leans down and grabs Dave's bag and walks in the house behind them. Dave brushes past a pair of boxes sitting on the kitchen table. Victoria puts Dave's bag down on the living room from and notices the boxes sitting there.:

Victoria: I thought these were Mike's surprise from last week?

:Dave places his son down in his bouncer and looks ack to his wife:

Dave: I said they were a surprise I didn't say when.

Victoria: So, we have to let this crap sit around……

:Dave cuts her off:

Dave: Crap? How dare you.

:Victoria shakes her head:

Victoria: You are a damn child? Put your son to bed.

Dave: I will but I'm going to read him a story first if that is okay.

Victoria: Just don't keep him up long. I told Mom to keep him up so he could see you.

Dave: Will do captain.

:Victoria disappears down the dark hallway and Dave walks over and picks his son up. He makes his way over to the book case and starts looking through the books.:

Dave: No not this one.

:Dave continues to peruse.:

Dave: Nah not this one.

:Dave finally stops and begins to pull it out.:

Dave: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows.

:Dave walks over to the reading chair and gets Eli all comfy.:

Dave: This one is a doozey there is this crazy chick though Bellatrix who gets her ass kicked by the good guys. I think you'll like it.

:Dave looks up from the books and winks. That is how the APW fades to commercial.:
