2012…Somewhere in Iraq
Scene opens up with Matt Spears talking to two other US Marines and a 1st Sgt. from the Canadian Army Special Forces. The four in the sandstorm cameos standing in a circle as they look on a device scream. They get live footage of the location they will be going to.
They were sent on a search and rescue mission as the Canadian Ambassador has been kidnapped by a small terrorist group. The 1st Sgt gives the three US Marines there instructions as the begin to sneak their way closer to the small 2 story building that looks to be guarded by at least 20 of the of there small group. The four men wait to 11:00 pm to make their move.
10:15 pm
The four reach there start point and scout the area to make sure the path chosen is still the safest route in and out. They wait it out as they get their final checklist in order. 11:00 pm. 208 yards away, a lone sniper is almost buried completely in the sand, it seems as though we are looking at a barely alive bush on a sandy mound as Matt can be seen clearly in the sights of the sniper who has not yet taken a shot. One must understand terrain in an open desert there is not a lot, if any cover. One must improvise in order to carry out a mission. What none of the soldiers realize is that more parties have an interest in what’s going on in Iraq than just the normal parties that be.
2311 Zulu time….
A man named Eyesnsane has been sent on a mission by his retainer. A well known terrorist group has been trafficking women and children for money to fund their operations. Eyesnsane has assessed the entire area as he has been in the exact same spot for the past 56 hours. Realizing an infiltration is occurring, he has decided to wait longer for a moment of opportunity as his essential target has not yet come into focus. He could always spot an imposter or somebody who did not belong, he seemed to have an eye for it. “Forty sevenâ€, he says outloud to himself on his perch atop a sand dune just far enough outside the compound to give him a head start if you will. All he knew was that he could drop twelve bodies before having to ditch his hiding spot. Other than two words he remains silent, watching….
Matt and the three men go room to room clearing each out while they look for the Ambassador. Matt reaches a door that leads to a basement. As bullets fly from the basement Matt throws a flashbang. The other three men rushes down the stairs as Matt follows behind. They clear the room.
The 1st Sgt finds the Ambassador tied to a wooden chair legs ducked taped to the legs of the chair and his hands tied with rope behind the back of the chair. Matt cuts the rope and duct tape. They quickly get him upstairs and try to get him out the building.
A loud bang is heard from the outside in distance the men stay inside for a bit…
Seeing two trucks approaching the compound, Eyesnsane sees a moment of opportunity to get his target to stir. As the trucks get within a certain proximity of the gate to the compound Eyesnsane fires a single shot through the front wheel that happens to slightly pierce the gas tank of the truck. There’s a loud pop from from the tire blowing out. Eyesnsane turns his attention back to the sandstone compound looking to have been built haphazardly at best. As the people begin to scramble about he quickly sets his sights back on the rescue of a hostage. “Let’s see everybody move..†he almost says in an exhale of breath. I saw a light come on in a building toward the northwest of the compound and Eyesnsane quickly sets his sights on the window. Against the light he can only see shadow on the wall, two then three.. Waiting just a few moments he sees a girl holding clothing to herself pushed from around the corner of the building quickly. Then after a moment a man grabs her and shoves her toward an suv. Three other guys come out and you can just barely make out the person in the middle.
Once the girl is hived into the vehicle, she tries to fight and receives a smack from the first guy holding her and at that moment, Eyesnsane fires the first shot, the guy closest to Eyesnsane falls to the ground, as the next shot drops the man they were protecting. The next shot hits the man struggling with the girl in the door of the suv. Then he turned his attention back to the truck where three bullets to a gas tank was enough to ignite a fire and then explosion
Matt watches from a window, The 1st Sgt opens the door as Matt covers them from the window. They see the ares is clear. Matt Makes his way out as the sneak out the path they came in from ,

Present Day
Foshan, China
Master Wong Dojo
Off Camera
We see Matt Spears wearing a black polo with sand color dress pants while Eyesnsane is seen wearing a Chicago Black Sox shirt with matching hat and blue jeans as they sit on one side of a square table with Master Wong and Wong Fai Hung both wearing black Hanfu robes while Jinjing, and the one known as Ninja are seen in full cover ninja suit. They listen on to the event that took place years ago.
Master Wong: So you were able to get the ambassador out safely.
Matt Spears: Well yes, but you already know that. You clearly had Eyesnsane there. We never did figure out what happened and his story makes sense with what took place.
Matt watches Master Wong nod as he then turns to Wong Fai Hung. Master Wong nods at the door. Wong Fai Hung nods at his father as he and Ninja get up. Jinjing does the same but Master Wong asks her to sit. Jinjing sits and Wong Fai Hung and Ninja leave the room and close the door behind them.
Jinjing tilts her head a bit before speaking as we can only see her eyes, she makes eye contact with Matt Spears.
Jinjing: You rescued the Ambassador, however he was found dead 2 weeks later.
Matt looks on shocked as this is news to him. He leans in his chair a bit. He looks at Jinjing but quickly turns to look at Master Wong as he felt Jinjing was looking at him in like she wanted to kill him.
Matt Spears: So you know more about this then I do, what does a Dojo from China have to do with this?
Master Wong looks at Eyesnsane for a split second before focusing his attention on Matt Spears.
Master Wong: We were paid to get the Ambassador out.
Matt Spears: By who?
Master Wong: That is not important.
Eyesnsane leans in a bit as Jinjing tilts her head to look at Eyesnsane. Eyesnsane turns to look at her.
Eyesnsane: What’s up girl?
Jinjing gets up and jumps on the table grabbing Eyesnsane throat in the process. Eyesnsane gets up from his seat.
Master Wong; Jinjing, let him go and take a seat.
Jinjing lets go as Eyesnsane smirks.
Eyesnsane: Your not as fast as you used to be.
Jinjing quickly lowers herself and spins around on top the table trying to leg sweep Eyesnsane in the chest. He backs away as Master Wong slams his hand on the table.
Master Wong: Jinjing!
Jinjing gets off the table as she look at Master Wong.
Master Wong: We all know you can kill him but right now is not the time for you two to be playing around
Jinjing and Eyesnsane take their seats. Eyesnsane looks at Matt Spears then at Master Wong.
Eyesnsane: What’s important then? Is what I believe Matt is wanting to ask, Master.
Master Wong: I’m not sure Matt, but that is what I have been trying to find out.
Matt Spears: Well, what do you think it can be?
Master Wong: It’s been years and yet I still have problems with a few jobs, this being one of them. The events that took place in your eyes don’t really help, for now, but it's good to get a better picture on what took place inside the compound.

A few hours later
On Camera
We see Matt Spears in a empty training room, fairly lit as the two doors that slide open, are seen open allowing the sun to light the room up. He practices Wing Chun with a wooden Wing Chun dummy. Wearing only a pair of jean shorts.
Matt Spears: I’m sure I’m the underdog this match. Most laughed when they saw I was booked in the Golden Briefcase Battle Royal. They can laugh all they want, they can look at me as someone who is a non factor. Now I win this battle Royal, what would they say about you for thinking such way about me?
Matt continues to punch at the Wing Chun dummy
Matt Spears: Damian Payne, Joshua Acquin, Xander Bishop, Steve Ramone, Jeremiah Hardin. 5 men who all want the briefcase so they can cash in at any given moment to try to become the World Champion. For me I just want to win the match for the sake of winning the match. The briefcase itself it whatever to me, a bonus if you will.
Don’t get me wrong, would I use it? Sure, but at the end of the day I don’t need it. You see I don’t need to go for a title to feel important, I don’t need need to be seen on tv every chance you can.
Matt stops to look at the camera
Matt Spears: It’s never been about you fans cheering for me or booing for me. What you decide is up to you. All I ever wanted is for you all to see that Matt Spears is booked for a match and then say. “Matt Spears has a match, here take my money as I know it will be worth it.â€
You see everyone I sit back in the locker room area....
Jon Dough: You mean I sit back in the locker room.
Matt turns away from the camera as he talks to himself for a second. Matt then walks over to a long bench that connects to the wall.
Matt Spears: I sit back in the locker room and hear other complain, it can be about how they're booked, how they feel about a match, the lack of air time, etc etc. The bosses in SCW rather they would admit it, I have never sat down with them, I never bitched about how I’m booked.
Truth is if anyone can say anything it is me for the lack of bookings, but I don’t. You see I can never go to them about such a thing because if I see the bigger picture. Is it a Golden Briefcase? Well, right now it could be. Is it a title of any kind? Who knows. But one things for sure, the bigger picture is that I get to work for SCW. I think some have forgotten that. I think they forgot the hard work it takes to reach SCW.
For every 10 new wrestlers rather there men or women, only 2 maybe 3 will survive what is the first few matches they receive in SCW. What happens to the other 7 or 8? Simple they run back to where they came from. They realize they need to brush up on there in ring skills before stepping foot inside the 6 sided ring that makes SCW.
So you guys who want to sit here and laugh or look at Matt Spears as a joke then remember what I said. Not many survive here in SCW, yet like you 5 I’m still here. I been here, quite, waiting for my time. Is my time now? Could be, I mean look at the match in front of me, look at what it means to win. The one thing I want before the briefcase in itself.
One thing is for sure, no matter who wins this match the rest will bitch and moan while I sit back and just wait to get booked again.
For now however, a battle royal is what I need to train for. I sure as hell plan on getting the last laugh when you 5 are outside the ring while I stand victories in the ring. You all soon next week.
Matt gets up and walks over to the Wing Chun dummy, he begins to practice again.
Matt Spears: Now that I got that out the way. Damian Payne, Joshua Acquin, Xander Bishop, Steve Ramone, and Jeremiah Hardin, make no mistake about, I plan on going out there and tossing all 5 of you out myself if I have to. This is mine for the taking, The fans will be shocked, stunned, whatever but this is it.
Matt goes from punch techniques to kicking
Matt Spears: They say change is coming, what better way then for Matt Spears to win the briefcase, A man who just sits back and waits. The man who for better or for worse is just proud to know he has what it takes to even be in SCW.
Matt stops as he turns to look at the camera again
Matt Spears: You see after my one year deal was up, there was no wait. Mr. Ward and Mr. Underwood had no issues with giving me a new deal. I more more then happy to sign. I am now given the opportunity to make them proud, show that resigning me was not just a good idea but also worth the deal.
I have no hype up, I have no momentum coming into this match. You know what I have? I have that old school pep talk you never get anymore.
I have been given the chance to make something happen. It is all up to me to make it happen now. Which is why if I have to toss 5 men out myself then I will do just that.
Matt starts punching at the Wing Chun dummy again
Matt Spears: Maybe all of this is for that reason, it’s clear change is upon us, I get resigned, I now get booked in a Golden Briefcase Battle Royal. It’s like the bosses are telling me… “Here you go kid, you sat here and waited and a true trooper for the company.
Matt nods a bit, He then makes a loud noise that echoes around the empty room as he lets out one clap with his hands.
Matt Spears: WOOOO!!!!
Matt says with excitement
Matt Spears; Okay, I got this, I see it plain and clear. Damian Payne, Joshua Acquin, Xander Bishop, Steve Ramone, and Jeremiah Hardin this is not the Matt Spears you have seen. Clearly the bosses are expecting me to turn it up a notch, a kick in the ass, in this case a match like this, is what was needed. Prepared to be in a shock of you lives. Matt Spears will be holding the briefcase by the end of the match. Get used to that image now fellas
For everyone else out there. I will see you next week, you all will be in for a shocker when the new Matt Spears walks into the match that is my biggest match to date, only to be the last one standing in the ring.
Matt turns to the Wing Chun dummy and bows, he then turns to the camera and bows as the scene fades out.
