March, 21, 2007 3:37am

Scene opens to Jerimiah Ranks sitting on a bench in a lockeroom still in his ring gear with his head bowed and a black towel over his head.


Jerimiah Ranks: ................... Mission....Failed.


The camera zooms in a bit and we can see Jerimiah shaking.


Jerimiah Ranks: I think it would end like this.....My first and last chance... has come and gone..... I fought my hardest.... I...... I tried to... finally become the champion.... my father...... my father would be proud of........ but i failed. There's no excitement ... there's no.... celebration........ only sorrow... for i let myseld.... my fans and ...... my father down, but i tried ............................... I really tried...... and i'm sorry.


Jerimiah picks his head up from bowing and rips off the black towel from his face as he looks into the camera with intensity and stands up.


Jerimiah Ranks: Well PCW..... that chapter in my life is completely over! My mission failed but refuse to be a failure. I am a champion with or without that plate of gold wrapped around my waist. My father wouldn't let me sit here and cry about not achieving my goal and by god i will not sit here and cry... I have the heart of a champion and nothing.


He throws the towel across the room and points into the camera.


Jerimiah Ranks: NOTHING! Will break me! I may not have completed my mission to become PCW Champion but i will not that stop me! I have reached a new platue and a new level of realization! The lord above and my father spoke to me and they told me; "Kid you better get right back up and prove to the world that you are a champion. You must go on and you must try you're hardest each and every day you walk out to that ring because you are a fighter and you are a champion" and i said "You're right i am The Shocka and this is not the end, this can't be the end... i am champion". This match made me stronger and i learned from it! Now i take what i know and i will venture out of a new mission!.. a new goal!........ A new Journey. So I don't care if you're The One, Mike Adams, Andrew Xavier or JMC i will go through each and everyone of you to reach the promise land... to reach WPW gold. So i stand here before only hours after my match at Everything Ends, but with a new mindset, A New Beginning.... A New Journey.... The power is in me... so just Be Prepared.....

Jerimiah takes off towards the locker room door as the camera follows him. He reaches the door and suddenly punches a whole through the sheetrock wall and quickly swings the door open and slams it as the door swings back open unshut.

The room is dark and all we see is the moon light shining in on Jerimiah who stands by table in his hotel room. Jerimiah with a stern look on his face is packing a gym bag. Suddenly a knock is heard on his hotel room door. Jerimiah looks back and then turns back around taking a deep breathe.


Jerimiah Ranks: It's open!


The door opens and over Jerimiah's should we can see it's his uncle Kenneth Ranks. Kenneth close the door and turns on the light, he walks up to Jerimiah arms out looking confused. Jerimiah doesn't even turn around as he just continues to pack.


Kenny Ranks: What's been going on? I haven't heard from you in like three weeks. You're not picking up your phone. No one knows where you are... Man it's like you died or something.

Jerimiah Ranks: Oh i didn't die... farrrrr from it.

Kenny Ranks: So what the hell is going on... how was Everthing Ends? Did everything go alright? Are you hurt? Do you have any injuries?

Jerimiah looks up for a second slighty shaking his head as he squints his eyes. He then looks over his shoulder at his uncle.


Jerimiah Ranks: You're not gonna even ask me if i won?

Kenny Ranks: Uh ehhh well did ya?

Jerimiah just turns back and continues packing his bags.


Jerimiah Ranks: No....... no.... The One did.

Kenny Ranks: What the hell is wrong with you man and what the hell are you doing.

Kenny walks up to the side of Jerimiah.


Kenny Ranks: Why the hell are you packing?

Jerimiah Ranks: I'm... i'm going to the gym.

Kenny Ranks: At 12:00 am?

Jerimiah Ranks: Yeah at 12:00 am?

Kenny Ranks: Oh man.... your doing it again.


Jerimiah finishes packing and puts the strap of the bag over his shoulder and he turns to face his uncle.



Jerimiah Ranks: Doing what again?


Kenny Ranks: Don't play dumb with me... You lost your match and just like everytime you think you've failed at something you are shutting down from the rest of the world. Well Jeremy i have had enough and i am not gonna baby you anymore. It was only a match.


A slight smirk comes across Jerimiah's face and he shakes his head.


Jerimiah Ranks: Chill just chilll... I'm fine... I really am. I just am looking at things a little differently.

Kenny Ranks: (nodding his head sarcastically) Oh Really so that's why you haven't answered you phone and you are in this hotel room with no lights on preparing to go the "the gym" past midnight huh.

Jerimiah Ranks: Well... to be quite honest yeah... I told you, i am not angry and shutting myself away from the world. I just am trying to have the least distractions in my life right now. Kenny i'm not sulking or even the slightest bit angry... just... just put it this way... I am extremely focused right now and big things are in the future for my career.

Kenny Ranks: Like?

Jerimiah Ranks: Well for starters i am in a tournament to earn a number 1 contenders spot for the Florida State Title. I'm facing Andrew Xavier next tuesday and I would just like to harness all of my energy into my wrestling ... you got me.


Still looking quite skeptical Kenny Ranks nods his head yes.


Kenny Ranks: But you sure you're allright....


Jerimiah smiles and puts his hand on Kenny Ranks shoulder smiling.


Jerimiah Ranks: Trust me when i say I've never been better.

Kenny Ranks: Really?

Jerimiah Ranks: Really.

Kenny Ranks: Uh... okay... if you say so.

Jerimiah walks past his uncle towards the door.


Kenny Ranks: Wait how the hell to you expect to get into a gym at this time.

Jerimiah Ranks: Last time in Ocala i got in with the owner and today he's letting me in after hours... but i gotta get there soon.

Jerimiah turns and opens the door.


Kenny Ranks: Okay..... wait what gym?


Jerimiah speaks as he closes the door and his voice fades.


Jerimiah Ranks: The same gym i allways go to when in Ocala.


The door slams shut and Kenneth looks confused as he stares at the door slightly tilting his head.


Kenny Ranks: Somethings up buddy... just what?

[CTRanks]

The scene opens to a gym. The camera's pan as Kenneth Ranks walks through the front door. He looks around and then goes over to the front desk where a buff man stands.


Kenny: Hey i'm looking for the Owner, by any chance is he here.

Billy Fletcher: You're looking at him, Billy Fletcher, how may i help ya.


They shake hands.


Kenny: Well by ay chance have you seen a man named Jerimiah Ranks, he's my nephew and he said he knew you.

Billy: Oh Jerry i know him, I didn't even know he was in towm.

Kenny: Man i knew something was up... ya see he has a match today and I haven't seen or heard from him since Friday. Last time i saw him he said he was coming down here.

Billy: Sorry i haven't seen him, but when you get a chance let him know that i said hi and that he should stop by soon.

Kenny: K no problem. Thanks for your help.


The shakes hands once more and Kenny walks back out as the camera follows him. Kenny looks one way then the other.


Kenny: Jeremy where the hell are you.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The scene suddenly changes to a forest with lots of tall skinny trees. The camera pans and we see Jerimiah Ranks jogging through the forest. Jerimiah stops when he reaches the camera, but just turns and faces a tree and looks directly at it as he speaks.


Jerimiah Ranks: WPW has camera men every where don't they. Well i'm gald you here because i have something to say.

Jerimiah kicks the tree hard and the tree wobbles in place.


Jerimiah Ranks: I have made a vow to myself to not let anyone stand in my way, but up until now i haven't stayed true to that vow. I have let people like The One, Scorch, Brock Goodman, JMC, stand in my path and defeat me in that ring. Whether it was a tag team contest or a six man ladder match... I fell short.

Jerimiah kicks the tree two more times and barks flies off.


Jerimiah Ranks: Well with this revelation i had last week... this will not happen anymore. I am in another state of mind and i have learned from my mistakes and i will move along. Right now there is no more room for error and i will not rest until i have reached a place where i am truly happy and content. I need WPW gold and i am striving for WPW gold. I will get that gold one way or another and no one will impede my on my path, on new journey.

Jerimiah begins to kick the tree over and over again as he talks.


Jerimiah Ranks: I am wiping the slate clean and re-shaping the foundation of myself. There is a new man standing infront of you and there is a power in me that i never had. I have the hear and will of a champion and it's only a matter of time until everyone sees that. Then when i were that championship belt around my waist there will be no denying, no diminishing of my accomplishment, and no criticizing as everyone will get what they want and finally witness me as champion.


Jerimiah hits the tree with two more strong kicks then a spinning heel kick and it breaks and falls over. Jerimiah then turns to the camera.


Jerimiah Ranks: Andrew Xavier... we met in the ring last tuesday and i dropped you off the ladder onto your head then, but now this is Jerimiah is even more powerful then he was last week. How are you gonna compete with a this man that stands before you? How are you gonna compete with a man that has so much conviction that he allready knows his fate? Xavier... you can't compete, you can't compete with me. See you in the ring buddy.


He walks off the screen as the scene fades out.
