[Hours after Inception II...]

“Man in the Mirror”
Dressing room Area - Backstage -
Camera: On

:: Inception II the first major event of the Independent wrestling promotion known throughout that of Nevada as Sin City Wrestling had come and gone, though one particular individual stood behind, that individual being none other than the youngster Xander Bishop who competed in the King of the Hill ladder match against that of Calvin Harris another newcomer to the loyalists of Sin City as well as ring veteran's Jeremiah Hardin and the “Sin of Wrath” Rage.

Xander unlike his three opponents lingered around for a bit in the backstage area of the Gold Coast Casino where Inception II had taken place just hours before. Xander still dressed in his blood stained, sweat stained ring attire could be seen looking at himself in the mirror of his dressing room. Bishop like his opponents had the bruises and wounds to show, each wound different from the other, with each one telling a story about how “The New Dynasty” your boy Xander Bishop had received it.::

It was a Sunday, March Fourth, Two-Thousan’-Fifteen jus’ months before my Twenty-Fourth birthday when I’s had seen the ad in the paper for a known wrestlin’ school run by one of ‘dem fake professional wrestla’s, I though’ why's not go give it a shot so I did. It would be then I'd come to meet the one individual known all ovah’ the worl’ as Gabriel “The Beast” Cragen.

Cragen would come to take me unda’ -his leadership if I gave him my all an’ damn did he beat the respec’ into me. No longa’ did I think of the sport of professional wrestlin’ as fake…

Dat’ shit was hella real an’ wha’ ‘dem guys put their bodies throu’ was mad insane they earne’ the guap each time they’s performe’ an’ I’s knew it wasn' gonna be easy gettin’ to the big leagues. I’s knew I'd have to start outta somewhere’s afta’ my trainin’ with Cragen…

So when it came for me to pick a stage name I’s chose the name “Xander” a nickname I’s had my whole life growin’ up ‘dat an’ it was also my father Richards as well an’ then the surname of “Bishop” a name I’s come to like due to the Marvel comics character Lucas Bishop…

So I’s had my stage name an’ Xander Bishop was on his way to becomin’ the man’s you’s all see before you’s today, the brash, jugular man who's not afraid to speak his min’ an’ damn I’s surely wasn’ an’ it showed as I’s slowly begin to make my presence known throughou’ the industry…

I though’ to myself seein’ Inception II the firs’ major even’ of the year for Sin City Wrestlin’ surely made me rememba’ the ass kickin’ I received durin’ my trainin’ with Cragen.

Cragen of course didn’ let me stray to far from his reach knowin’ I’s was still hella green an’ well I'd surely come to catch the attention of someone eventually an’ boy did I’s in the form of Mark Ward an’ his partna’ Christian Underwood, my firs’ match saw me barely escape by the hairs of my neck surely ‘dat was somethin’ Cragen had though’  â€˜bout when he had been preparin’ me for bou’ ‘dat jus’ took place hur’ at Inception II jus’ a few hours earlia’…

Inception II had come an’ gone an’ yet I still hadn' earned or secured a championship contenda’ match, then again I'm sure ‘dat made Cragen less stressed out knowin’ his protege didn’ have ‘dis target on his back like I’s would have if I had won I’s though’ myself looking at my own blood as I’s stared into my dressin’ room mirror, as I’s did the sound of Cragen gettin’ closa’ could be felt as his voice could be heard.

Gabriel Cragen: “Yo Xander what the hell happened out there bro?”

:: Cragen questioned, looking at his protege who stared back at himself in his dressing room mirror, a bloody, beaten, battered, individual who had nothing to show for [‘OTHER'] than the bruises he earned from competing tonight.::

Xander Bishop: “I choked Cragen ‘dats what…”

Arthur Pierce: “Nah Xan’ nonsense kid and if you think you lost think again you surely gained the respect from your three opponents and that's a damn fact, they'd be lying if they said you hadn't.”

:: Pierce says as he walks into the dressing room of his client Xander Bishop, Pierce unlike Cragen and Bishop can be seen dressed very well, looking like that of a million dollars, dressed in a pink dress shirt with a light blue business tie, along with black dress pants and a black business suit jacket that he can be seen holding onto underneath his right arm.::

Xander Bishop: “How's you’s figure Artie, I’s got no championship title to show for, no golden briefcase, nothin’ otha’ then a few bruises to show for an’ a damn busted open lip an’ ‘dats it bruh…”

Gabriel Cragen: “Xan’ Arthur is right though, you may not have won the bout, but you damn well showed everyone you have heart and aren't some joke to be taken lightly, if that's not something to be proud of then I don't know what is…”

Cragen said tryin’ to cheer me up on yet anotha’ loss, thou’ not jus’ anotha’ loss a chance at redemption for championship gold, somethin’ I've been wantin’ more an’ more each time I'm given the chance at it, bu’ each time I’s fall jus’ shor’ of actually archiving it...

Xander Bishop: “Fuck…”

Gabriel Cragen: “No worries Xan’ you'll get ‘em next time for sure.”

Arthur Pierce: “Hey you had the fans behind you, that's something to be proud of…”

Xander Bishop: “Really, you’s didn' jus’ say ‘dat now did you Artie, I mean seriously who cares ‘bout them they surely don' care ‘bout some kid from the gutta’ an’ more so some kid raised by the system, they’s not care ‘bout your boy Xander Bishop an’ nor should they afta’ bein’ let down again, secon’ time in two straigh’ weeks…”

Gabriel Cragen: “But they do and Arthur's right so should you.”

Xander Bishop: “Well’s I’s don’ an’ neitha’ should you’s care ‘bout them eitha’ ya hur’ me, fuck ‘em as I'm done carin’ it's not ‘bout them no more bu’ ‘bout me an’ me only from hur’ on out, ya hur’ me?”

:: Xander says with a frustrated tone of voice, as he continues to stare into the mirror, the person staring back isn't the same person staring into it.::

Xander Bishop: “Please get gone wit’cha  for ‘dat is bullshit an’ as much I’s wanna believe they all was behin’ a n***a they’s wasn’ an’ ‘dat's the damn truth an’ you’s both know it is…”

Arthur Pierce: “Ok… ok I get it Xan your upset, but no need to turn your back on the fans…”

Gabriel Cragen: “Agree.”

Xander Bishop: “Well too bad, they didn' wan’ me I'ma show ‘em wha’ it's like to be an O.G. original gangsta, for ‘dat's exactly they’s been wantin’ so they’s gonna get it ya hur’ me you’s see trus’ me.”

Arthur Pierce: “Xander don't do something you're going to regret later on…”

Gabriel Cragen: “Agree, Xander don't go throwing it all away…”

:: Xander looks at both his trainer, the very man who's a protege of and then at his personal agent, as he does a devilish like Cheshire grin forms across his face.::

Xander Bishop: “Trus’ me I’s won’ but they’s damn well gonna respec’ me an’ not take me as some joke ta hur’?”

:: Xander said as he walked on over to his mini refrigerator and grabbed a cold brew from inside of it as he did took a sip from it before signaling to his personal agent Arthur Pierce to grab two bags with his belongings inside of them as he departed from his dressing room area, as he did he slammed his dressing room door behind him out of frustration from the loss he had just suffered again.::

“Barbershop”
Blades of Gold - Barbershop
Brooklyn, New York
Camera: Off

:: As the scene slowly begins to unfold we come to find ourselves standing outside one of the more old school, more traditional barbershop’s still left, staff specializing in retro styles, à la Mad Men, that barbershop being none other than the “Blades of Gold" Barbershop located on 299 Smith Street of Brooklyn, New York.

From the outside “Blades of Gold” looks old and traditional, but once inside you.get that old school Hip Hop vibe from it, it can be seen having been built with tan orangish brown bricks and has poplar wooden window ledges. The windows can be seen being tall and wide allowing for plenty of light to be let in.

The barbershop of “Blades of Gold” is equipped with an average looking barber saloon and one small bathroom, it also has a medium-sized office. The barbershop is square shaped. The roof is low and square shaped and is covered with overlapping roof tiles, though this time of year all that covers it is that of sheets of snow and ice.

Business is usually slower than usual as well and well, the owner Lester Armstrong usually makes enough to keep it going on it's off seasons due to the newer barbershop’s around the area, though you always know when something major is going on as it always seems to attract the crowds and well today was no different as Sin City Wrestling's own Xander Bishop or so rumor had it was spotted going inside the old barbershop.

As the scene continues to unfold, we come to see yes, that indeed, the rumor of the youngster that be Xander Bishop of Sin City Wrestling was true, for Bishop could be seen getting ready for a haircut as “Blades of Gold” owner himself Lester Armstrong could be seen prepping his trimmers, scissors and clippers.::

Lester Armstrong: “So what brin’ the young Xander Harris into Ol Lester’s barbershop today?”

Xander Harris: “Well I’s need a new fade Lester, somethin’ differen’ from the las’ time’s you’s seen me.”

:: Lester chuckles a little bit at the request from his longtime friend and client, Xander Bishop.::

Lester Armstrong: “What's the occasion Xander?”

:: Before speaking, Xander can be heard getting choked up on words, though manages to say what the occasion is of.::

Xander Harris: “Wells Les, my pa died jus’ the otha’ day you’s not know?”

Lester Armstrong: “Don’ play boy…”

Xander Harris: “Nah n***a I’s not.”

Lester Armstrong: “You're kiddin’ he was just in hur’ not that long ago Xan…”

Xander Harris: “Did he seem alrigh’ to you’s?”

Lester Armstrong: “Yea, Xan’ he did, nothin’ outta the ordinary you’s know.”

Xander Harris: “Wells ‘dats strange, wells when the good lord says it's time for you’s to come home, so how ‘bout ‘dat trim my n***a?”

Lester Armstrong: “Already ahead of yea on ‘dat one Xander my boy…”

Xander Harris: “An’...”

Lester Armstrong: “How ‘bout this?”

Xander Harris: “Old school eh?”

Lester Armstrong: “You can say that…”

Xander Harris: “Jheri curl nice, not to flashy yet not to simple.”

Lester Armstrong: “Yea boy, you know that's how we do it hur’ at Ol’ Les’ ya hur’ me?”

Xander Harris: “Neva’ one to disappoin’ Les, neva’ one to disappoin’ ‘dats fissure, how much a n***a owe ya?”

:: As Xander says that, Armstrong looks at him with a smile.::

Lester Armstrong: “Nodda’ jus’ tell ta ma’ if she needs anythin’ let me know as it's a damn shame wha’ you told me ‘bout ya ol’ man…”

:: As Armstrong says that, Bishop nods, though before departing gives his old barber a hug, before making his departure from the old school barbershop.::

“Gangsta Tears”
Green-Wood Cemetery
Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn, New York
Camera: Off

:: As the scene opens, it opens to that of two large rusty gates formerly black in color as the paint slowly chips away from the wear and tear and harsh beatings they've come to receive from old man winter over the years. As the scene continues to unfold we come to see a familiar face within that of Sin City Wrestling, one that's caused quite the ruffle in things and more so controversy since his short arrival into the company, that individual being none other than Brooklyn, New York’s own Xander Bishop whom otherwise is known as “The New Dynasty” among the wrestling industry and more recently by that of the nickname of “The Original Gangsta".

Bishop can be seen wearing a black dress shirt, over top of his dressing shirt he sports a red suit jacket, his lower half can be seen consisting of red dress pants and black glossy dress shoes. The Green-Wood Cemetery a place in which death welcomes you breath by breath. Tomb stones of cold withering cement witnessing the tears of laughter, and tears of guilt awaiting every shadow's lament, the occasion you question yourself, and more so question why would Xander Bishop a young man such as himself be seen walking into a cemetery.

Death.

Xander like many in attendance could be seen down, under the weather as if they lost something or more so someone, for Xander it wasn't just someone, but someone he not only knew, but respected as a young kid growing up in Brooklyn, that individual being the man he'd come to know as his father Richard Alexander Harris.::

Xander Harris: “Seems like it was only yesterday me an’ pop's were shootin’ hoops in the local park…”

:: Xander said to himself as he continued on in the cemetery, walking down a stone pathway, a path destined for doom and once on it, it's a path you can never go back to the same person you were once seen. People die with joy and sorrow, silence can be felt amongst those from the cries of the dead. Hallows were born to guard this place, from intruders escaping their rightful place. Sad thing is Xander escaped death many times and many of them times he shouldn't have escaped, as he continued on into the cemetery he come to think of an old poem he had heard when he was younger.

I say you’s go with caution thy bring. For in the graveyard, death will sing. but let me warn you’s of your disgus’, for soon you’s will res’ on ‘dis place you’s have crushed. A person with heart can neva’ take such a painful punishmen’ for otha’s sake. for death cannot bypass its owna’ for everyone has his own stone to rememba’... or some shit like ‘dat...

:: He thought to himself as he come to see his mother standing alone, weeping in sorrow from the loss of her husband Xander’s father.::

Xander Harris: “It's okay momma’s pop's is in a betta’ place now…”

:: Xander says trying to comfort his mother who can be see being lost without that of her husband being by her side.::

Katherine Odom-Harris: “ I know Xander it's jus’ your father really wanted to see you perform your craft an’ he didn' get too.”

Xander Harris: “He did ma?”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “Yes, he did.”

Xander Harris: “‘dis whole time I’s though’ he's hated me not followin’ in his footsteps ma!”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “No, not one bit if anythin’ he was proud of ya boy…”

Xander Harris: “I’s at leas’ know my pa would be proud of his boy.”

:: Xander said with a somewhat smile on his face.::

Katherine Odom-Harris: “Yes, indeed he was an’ would be even if you’ chose somethin’ else. Evan that rapper thing you’s was doin’.”

Xander Harris: “Ma I'm still doin’ ‘dat jus’ not as much as I’s used to do…”

:: Xander said with a sigh, as he looked over at his mother who could be seen being in tears, as he looked over at his mother, he walked closer to her before wrapping his arms around her and consoling as she continued to weep as her tears rolled down the side of her face.::

Xander Harris: “It'll be okay momma’s jus’ gotta keep ya head up as ‘dat’s what pa would want you’s to do, you’s know.”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “Yea Xander I know he's would wan’ that too, it's jus’...”

Xander Harris: “It's jus’ wha’ ma’ ‘dat you’s now not no longa’ gonna be beat like he did to you’s all ‘dose years.”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “I’s know Xander but he is an’ will always be my husband an’ you’s kid's father…”

Xander Harris: “Speakin’ ‘bout DeShaun an’ Sasha where ‘dey at?”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “They came earlier…”

Xander Harris: “I’s like to have seen my sista’ an’ brotha…”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “They said the same thing Xander ‘bout you.”

Xander Harris: “Wells ma’ let me go say my las’ goodbye to pa…”

:: Xander said as he made his way on over to where his father lay inside the coffin where he'd come to lay for eternity as his soul looked down upon Xander, Xander’s mother, Xander’s siblings from the heavens above.::

Xander Harris: “See ‘round pa, see ya ‘round…”

:: Xander said as he bowed his head in prayer, as he did it was like he was enlightened by something, something unexplainable, something he couldn't explain as he lifted his head he muttered out the  words “Evera’thin’ is gonna be alrigh’ pa” before backing away in silence and walking on back over to where his mother was standing.::

Xander Harris: “Ma’ evera’thin’ is gonna be alrigh’...”

Katherine Odom-Harris: “How's you know ‘dat Xander?”

Xander Harris: “Jus’ gotta have faith in the good lord ma’ trus’ me ma’"

:: Xander said as he reached in and gave his mother a hug and a kiss on the cheek as he departed from the Green-Wood Cemetery of Greenwood Heights in Brooklyn, New York.::

“The Way I Am”
Poppin’ Off Records - Recording Studio
Las Vegas, Nevada
Camera: On - Shoot

:: We open up inside that of the newly acquired recording studio of “Poppin’ Off Records” the west coast division of the record label. Though as the camera's continue to focus in on one particular area of the studio it can be seen being that of the recording booth. Standing front and center is that of “Poppin’ Off’s" first-ever signed artist and current Sin City Wrestling roster member Xander Bishop whom otherwise is known as “The New Dynasty” among the Sin City faithful and loyalists of Sin City.

Xander can be seen sporting the classical Jheri curl hairstyle from back in the day that was quite popular back then. His nose ring can be seen being that of a diamond stud and Xander can be seen looking rather cleaned shaved. He can be seen sporting a long sleeve white t shirt with a pair of black baggy jean pants that can be seen sagging, showing that of his boxers, he also can be seen sporting brown Timberland boots as he stands in the booth alone, ready to lace yet another popular track for his up and coming debut album “Bishopocalypse”.::

“Anga’. Wha’ honesty can a n***a say yea I’ma angry, hella angry at  â€˜dat an’ I gots a damn righ’ to be.

It's all part of the healin’ process a process ‘dat make take sometime but we’s all gots do it soona’ or lata’ I’s is fortunately now due to the death of my pa, but in all honesty it's not ‘cause of ‘dat piece of shit, it's more ‘cause I’s not in the damn SCW Heavyweigh’ picture anymore an’ ‘dat it saddens me to say my downfall an’ the reasons I’s los’ wasn' ‘cause I'm not good enough if ‘dat was the case I’s wouldn' be in Sin City Wrestlin’ nor would I have had to chance’s at gold an’ given a third, no the reason I’s los’ is ‘cause folks like Arthur Pierce don' be believin’ in a n***a anymore which brings me to my next poin’ Artie come hur’?”

:: Xander says as he stands alone in the recording booth of Poppin’ Off Records, after a few seconds an unknowing Arthur Pierce approached the recording booth Xander stood inside, as he popped his head inside to hear what Bishop had to tell him.::

Xander Bishop: “Artie you’s fired bruh, I'm done bein’ held down by you’s ya hur.”

Arthur Pierce: “Xan’ you don't believe that your downfall is because of me do you?”

:: Xander grins.::

Xander Bishop: “N***a don' be gettin’ all sad eye on me now as for a fac’ I’s do an’ well it saddens me to say ‘dis but n***a you’s been cut… now getcha shit an’ get outta hur’...”

Arthur Pierce: “This is some kinda joke right Xan’?”

Xander Bishop: “G I’s didn' stutta’ be gone wit’cha now yea hur’!”

:: Xander said as ge turned his focus back to the microphone in front of him inside the recording booth he was in.::

“Now ‘dat sob story is ova’ I'll be able to focus more on me an’ less on wha’ eva’one else be wantin’ me to do an’ ‘dats on winnin’ soon… soon I’s will be back an’ if ‘dat biatch J2H is still the SCW Heavyweigh’ champion then… then ‘dat biatch gonna know wha’ is like to be broke when I’s put ‘dese hur’ bricks to his ‘dere face bitchass n***a na wanna take me serious an’ make fun of how's I talk… n***a gets with the times bruh.

Jeremiah if I’s not recall n***a you’s said to check myself, n***a if you’s knew wha’ was good for yourself you’s not be tellin’ me I’s need a check myself before I’s wreck myself as n***a ‘dem fightin’ words bruh...

Bruh they obviously saw somethin’ in me to throw me into the fire an’ feed me opportunity afta’ opportunity for a chance at championship gold unlike your ass. Then you’s go on to furtha’ say I talk big game but can’ back it up, Rage you’s bitch you’s had a spark when you’s stared but now you's jus’ garbage, fell from outta the picture an’ now’s you tryin’ reclaim ta throne by goin’ afta’ the future of the industry...

:: Xander says as the scene fades out with him signaling to cut his microphone off.::
