(The scene opens to the Headwaters Forest Reserve in Fortuna, California. Noah Nakamura is seen in faded jeans, boots and a black FAW shirt as he walks through the old growth coast redwood groves. He looks up and smiles at the mighty trees.)
“You know there is that old saying that ‘If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?’ You see that is exactly what fits you Ellie Stokes. You kicked up a storm about how you felt overlooked and that you didn’t get your match against me due to being passed over several times. But yet, only when I used an opportunity presented to me to go for the FAW Championship did you actually make any noise. So, if a wrestler feels slighted but doesn’t let anyone know, are they really feeling slighted?”
(Noah reaches out and touches the trunk of one of the redwood trees.)
“That’s the thing Ellie, you won a title shot for the Showcase Championship… Not a match against me. I find it somewhat interesting that the only time you stood up and said anything was after I cashed in the Showcase Championship to get a chance at Julian Savell. You were quiet when Chris Night jumped to the front of the line and got a shot at the title before you. You were quiet again when CeCe Bell was named another top contender for the title, but why go off because I was no longer the Showcase Champion? FAW officials even said that your very next match was to be for the championship and you still complained. Is facing me more important to you than becoming a champion, Ellie? Is that what you see as your priorities?”
“You went as far as saying you hope Julian breaks my face, that I was stupid as I was disrespectful, that I kept ducking you and how I should have stood up and spoke up for you to get your match. First of all Ellie, why should I stand up for you? Are you going to stand up for ANYONE but yourself? Because you haven’t thus far. Why should I stand up and make my voice be yours when you can’t even stand up and speak out for yourself? Why? Because I am a stand up and respectful guy that I should do the one thing for you that you can’t do yourself? How is anyone supposed to know you feel that way, let along know they should advocate for you if you just sit in silence?”
“How was I stupid and disrespectful? Because I was offered a chance to right the one wrong I have here in FAW and become the top champion? Sorry if my career goals have nothing to do with what Ellie Stokes wants. You see I am here to be the best not only to honor my father but because I want to be the best. Maybe that’s why facing me seems more important to you than a championship match, Ellie. Part of me wonders how much your sweet and nice face you put out is an act. When you tweet out about me, to my girlfriend things like; ‘If he had balls he would speak up.’ or ‘The guy had commitments in front of him yet he "cashes" in his belt and runs away from them. That is a pussy not a fighter.’ and ‘Thought he was an honorable guy too.’ Doesn’t seem nice to me. I get that you had issues with your personal life and you apologized on twitter but you didn’t say anything to me. I work out at Anderson’s daily and you have yet to apologize for your childish temper tantrum you threw.”
(Nakamura shakes his head and sighs.)
“What I want is a solid match against each other where we leave it all out there and I go for the FAW Championship and you for the Showcase Championship, so we can leave your childish outburst in the past where it belongs. You see Ellie because of that disrespect you blatantly showed me, you’re not going to face the Noah Nakamura that is out to have a great time with the fans. You are getting the Noah Nakamura that is out to make a big statement before going at the FAW Champion. Chris Night was the last one to disrespect me and look how that ended up… I used to think of you as a friend, a good person… But now all I see you as is my next opponent that I am going to go through. You wanted this match up and now you have it, Ellie. Just remember what they say about getting what you wished for…”
(Noah shrugs and walks off camera.)
