The scene opens up to a bird’s eye view of a huge roman type coliseum where thousands of people are seen packed shoulder to shoulder in the seats. A battle is taking place in the middle of the coliseum, and as the view slowly zooms in two men dressed in partial steel armor and helmets can been seen in the middle of the coliseum having a sword fight. The fight goes back and forth for a bit with each fighter taking turns charging at the other in an attempt to land the killing blow, but after defending a few swift moves the larger of the two men topples the other fighter with a devastating kick to the face. The man falls the ground and remains motionless, and after a few moments the victor turns to the crowd and raises his sword in the air as he celebrates to the roar of the screaming mob. Suddenly, a door in the side of the coliseum wall opens up and a formation of Roman soldiers quickly come marching into the middle of the coliseum and take a two-line formation in front of the unknown fighter. Another man then comes walking out of the door and into view; the emperor. He’s dressed in royal garb and a crown, and in his hand is a large belt with a gold face plate on the front of it. He slowly makes his way between the line of soldiers and towards the winning gladiator, turning and waving to the crowd on his way, and as the view focuses more on his face he’s recognized to be Alex Morgan. The man bows to one knee and looks to the ground as Alex approaches, and the emperor smiles and holds his hand out.
Alex: “Rise”
The unknown man stands up and faces Alex, keeping his silence.
Alex: “Your fame is well deserved, warrior. I don't think there's ever been a gladiator to match you. You’ve dispatched every fighter in my stead and proved yourself to be the best gladiator in our land, and therefore I now declare you…….champion!”
Alex presents the title belt to the fighter and again the crowd goes into a frenzy, but the fighter just takes his title belt and stands there….appearing emotionless and in silence.
Alex: “This warrior will now travel to the land of the UWL to take place in the Wrestlefest games and represent the people of our land. If he does well, he will be crowned the UWL International Champion by sir Kevin Hill himself!”
Once again the fans roar their approval, and the emperor looks at the fighter with a curious look in his eyes.
Alex: “Why doesn't the hero reveal himself and tell us all your real name? You do have a name don’t you?”
Man: “My name is Gladiator.”
The man flops his newly won title belt over his shoulder and turns from Alex to start walking away. Alex instantly gets an angered look on his face.
Alex: “How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name!”
The man stops in his tracks and hesitates for a moment, then he reaches up and reluctantly removes his helmet. As he slowly begins to turn around, the camera focuses on him and he’s revealed to be Gunner Hughes. He has an evil looking guise on his face, and he burns a hole into Alex with his glare as he responds.
Gunner: “My name is Gunnicas Decimus Hughsicus….Commander of the Section 8 nightclub, General of the North American Wrestling promotion, and loyal servant to the people! Master of the Buckshot, kicker of all asses, and I will be the next UWL International Champion…in this life or the next!”
Alex trembles in disbelief and the mob goes completely silent as they wait for him to sick his dogs on Gunner.
Alex: “Oh yeah, well….”
Alex suddenly smiles and extends his hand.
Alex: “Awesome then. Good luck!”
Gunner looks at Alex’s hand for a second, appearing unsure what to think, but then reaches out and shakes it to the roar of the approving crowd. Gunner takes the title belt from his shoulder and turns to hold it up and pose, and the mob starts chanting his name.
Crowd: “Gun – ner!.....Gun – ner…..Gun - ner!....”
Alex also starts to contribute to getting the people riled up.
Alex: “That’s right ladies and gentleman, you heard it….your future UWL International Champion right here!”
Crowd: “Gun – ner!......Gun – ner!
Gunner holds his title belt high and closes his eyes as he takes in the sound of the fans chanting his name. A loud annoying beeping sound is then heard echoing through the coliseum, and Gunner opens his eyes with a puzzled look on his face.
Gunner: “Huh?”
Crowd: “Gun – ner!…..Gun – ner!….Gun -”
Ashley: “ner…..Gunner….wake up!”
Gunner suddenly jerks awake, and he’s lying on his couch in his office with his business associate Ashley standing over him.
Ashley: “Gunner, it’s time to get up. Come on, naptime is over….you gotta be in the gym in an hour. Wrestlefest 2 is next week remember?”
Ashley leaves the room and Gunner sits up and looks at his alarm clock on his end table as it beeps with that annoying beeping sound. He then glances at the plasma screen television hanging above his desk where the movie “Gladiator” is just coming to an end. He reaches over and slaps a hand over the clock to hit the off button, and then glances at an empty bottle of whiskey that’s sitting on his nightstand. He shakes his head.
Gunner: “Damn….I really gotta quit drinking.”
Alex: “Rise”
The unknown man stands up and faces Alex, keeping his silence.
Alex: “Your fame is well deserved, warrior. I don't think there's ever been a gladiator to match you. You’ve dispatched every fighter in my stead and proved yourself to be the best gladiator in our land, and therefore I now declare you…….champion!”
