IPW – Vin Halsted – The Second Act (Part 3)
::Scene opens with a black background and the following disclaimer in bold, white print:
“This documentary was to chronicle Vin Halsted’s eventual retirement from wrestling and this camera crew was allowed access to backstage of each show that would lead up to this culminating event. It takes place between October 1, 2018, and March 1, 2019. Cameras have been linked to Mr. Halsted’s security system in order to allow all occupants some leeway to move around Halsted Manor without a camera crew following their every step. However, the crew will accompany Mr. Halsted, and anyone accompanying him, if and when, he decides to leave his home to attend important meetings, wrestling shows, etc."::
::Part 3 of Halsted’s Gold Rush opens with a fade in: We pick up where Part 2 left off as, Mr. Han nods and walks away to contact Halsted’s pilot to prepare to fly to the next ECWF show. He finds Scarlett, Mr. Halsted’s personal assistant, in the vast hallway and informs her that Mr. Halsted will be leaving Halsted Manor to return to professional wrestling. She, then, prepares herself and Mr. Halsted by packing their travel bags, arranges for his usual hotel accommodations, and readies his car to drive to the private airstrip where his private jet is located. Halsted makes his way to his car where Scarlett, his driver, Joey Cranston and Mr. Han are waiting to see him off.::
Cranston: Are you sure the deal with Billy is solid?
Halsted: Enforcer says that we can work with him so what other reason do I have not to believe that this will go down as planned?
::Cranston shakes his head and shrugs. He puts his hand out to wish his friend well.::
Cranston: Alright, Vin… good luck!
Halsted: Thanks, Joey… I mean, what can go wrong, right?
::The two friends shake hands and then Halsted nods to Mr. Han. Mr. Han opens the rear back door of the brand new black Audi. He sits down in the leather seat and Scarlett is next to him. The driver starts the car once Mr. Han closes the door. Twenty minutes later, the car pulls up in between the hangar and Halsted’s private jet at the private airstrip.::
Pilot: Mr. Halsted, good to see you, again!
Halsted: Thanks, Jimmy… Time to go back to work.
Pilot: Sounds good to me. We will be in the air once you’re settled in.
::Halsted nods and enters the plane as Scarlett and the pilot load their luggage into the compartment below the cabin of the plane. Scarlett, then, enters the plane and sits adjacent from Halsted in the cabin. Halsted decides to open a bottle of champagne to toast his new venture back into the world of professional wrestling. He pours a glass for himself and one for Scarlett before the pilot informs them that they are taking off. They relax into their seats and enjoy their preflight drinks. Halsted closes his eyes as the plane leaves the Chicagoland area. About two hours later, they land and Halsted is greeted by his driver for the next few days while working for ECWF. Scarlett joins them in the car, after the driver loads their luggage into the trunk of the car. They arrive at the arena shortly thereafter and Halsted is greeted by the ECWF booking agent. He hands Halsted the script for the evening and rushes away. He reads through it to see that it’s a basic run-in appearance to come to the aid of The Enforcer. He nods and smiles as this was what discussed and is happy to see that the matters of his arrival were taken seriously. He makes his way to his dressing room with Scarlett and begins to get ready for his ECWF debut. The Enforcer enters to check in with Halsted.::
Enforcer: There he is…
Halsted: Hey, brother… long time no see!
::The two warriors smile while shaking hands.::
Enforcer: So, what did you think of tonight’s script?
Halsted: I like it... It’s simple but exactly what we talked about.
Enforcer: That’s what I wanted to hear!
Halsted: Yeah, man… I guess The Gold Rush is finally happening!
Enforcer: As it should be, brother… John Wayne rides off into the sunset and now, Vin Halsted gets to do the same.
Halsted: Unbelievable, right? Who would have thought that this scrappy bouncer from Chicago would get that kind of send-off?
Enforcer: Hey, in the words of the great Scott Hall…
::Halsted laughs and the pair say the last part of Scott Hall’s 2014 WWE Hall of Fame speech together in unison.::
Halsted and Enforcer: “Hard work pays off. Dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but Bad Guys do.”
::They laugh again while Scarlett rolls her eyes at the two great talents high five each other.::
Halsted: That’s still one of the best wrap-ups to any acceptance speech!
Enforcer: Yeah, the Bad Guy always had a way with the mic! Alright, brother… I just wanted to make sure you got in OK and that we were good to go for your ECWF debut!
Halsted: Yeah, man… I’m good to go!
Enforcer: Alright, brother… see you out there!
::Enforcer leaves Halsted’s dressing room to let Halsted settle in and get dressed in his ring gear. He decides to watch the show from his dressing room until a stage crewmember comes to let him know that the time for his debut has arrived. He walks Halsted to a disclosed section of the arena so that he can inconspicuously make his way through the ECWF crowd on his way to the ring. The fans, immediately, recognize him and that draws the ECFWF cameras on to him as he rushes the ring to aid The Enforcer. He attacks Enforcer’s opponent and the crowd is in a frenzy while chanting “HALSTED… HALSTED… HALSTED!!!” He feels their energy, his arms has goosebumps all over the place, as they stand over their fallen ECWF foes. He looks at The Enforcer with a smirk, then whispers to him and the camera behind them.::
Halsted: I’m back…
::The ECWF camera fades to black as the show comes to a close. Halsted and Enforcer exit the ring and walk back up the ECWF entrance ramp. The crowd is still in a frenzy over the shocking return of Halsted and the reunion of The Untouchable Talent. The pair raise their hands in the air to salute the ECWF crowd before exiting to the backstage. The two chat for a brief moment before parting ways for the next show.::
Halsted: That felt good!
Enforcer: Hell yeah, it did… that’s just the first step! Soon, we’ll take the tag team championships and tear through everyone on this roster!
Halsted: Sounds good, brother… Oh, hey… who did you find to be our third so that we can take the six man tag belts?
Enforcer: Oh… Umm… How about Charlie?
Halsted: Charlie, huh?
Enforcer: Yeah… I talked to him, already, and he’s on board. Does that work?
Halsted: Alright… Charlie can have a seat at the table.
Enforcer: Great, because we’ll be facing the six-man tag champs in two weeks.
Halsted: Damn… that fast??
::Enforcer chuckles and shrugs his shoulders.::
Enforcer: C’mon, brother… this is the Gold Rush!!
::Halsted laughs.::
Halsted: Fair enough!
Enforcer: Yeah, man… RNRG is invested in us!
::The two shake hands after taking their athletic tape off of their wrists. They part ways from the Gorilla position and head to their prospective dressing rooms. Halsted heads to the shower to clean up and change back into his clothes from earlier in the day. He walks out to be greeted by a small crowd of autograph hounds. He smirks and grabs a few items to sign as he and Scarlett enter their car. He turns to Scarlett and smiles. As the driver starts the car.::
Halsted: That never gets old, Scar.
Scarlett: What’s that, sir?
Halsted: The rabid wrestling crowds!
Scarlett: Well, that’s what it’s all about, right, sir?
Halsted: Indeed, it is, dear.
::As the third part of the documentary fades to black, another camera pans in on the present day as Halsted is found talking with The Enforcer while getting ready to board the flight to the next to Santa Monica, California.::
Halsted: Dude, don’t worry about it. Those weren’t clean losses, obviously, they needed to cheat to win because they couldn’t stand toe-to-toe with us. They know that to be true because they have yet to talk shit about us for this upcoming triple threat tag match. I mean, c’mon, you know if the shoe were on the other foot, we’d be out celebrating and bragging our asses off if we stole one from a couple of veterans when we were in that stage of our careers. The deal is this, they pulled one over us, but it won’t happen again because this is the match that counts. We want to set the bar high and become IPW tag team champions since those titles are non-existent at the moment. That’s the first step, remember?
Enforcer: You’re right, brother. I just don’t like the fact that those two shit stains pulled one over us.
Halsted: It doesn’t matter. Look where we are, man. Last Chaos didn’t derail us in the very least. We are still in the main event this week and we are poised to position ourselves to be the number one tag team in IPW. Seriously, they are just starting out and they’re naive enough to think by pulling the old bait and switch on us that they have one up on us. So, let them think that, because that’s when we strike the hardest when they think they’re in the driver’s seat and let their guard down. They’re rookies making rookie mistakes and it’s gonna catch up with them at Chaos because they’re gonna be forced to take us on head on.
Enforcer: There’s no argument there. We know the game plan and we know what to do here. This isn’t anything new for us which leads us to Bree Bree, the Bumblebee.
Halsted: Yeah, I saw that, too. You would think that a world champion who intends to bring the luster back to a tainted title would do her damn homework. I mean… I know who that bitch is and how she’s the World Champion of IPW is beyond me. She was nothing more than a mid-card jobber the last time I saw her in a mutual fed. Her being the champion makes me lose some faith in IPW.
Enforcer: Hey, man, don’t underestimate her, she got better.
Halsted: Don’t we all??
Enforcer: Fair enough.
::As Halsted continues his conversation with The Enforcer while sitting in the terminal, he sees that his flight has been delayed.::
Halsted: OH, COME ON!!!
Enforcer: What happened???
Halsted: My damn flight is delayed.
Enforcer: Eh… It might be something that needs to be checked before take-off.
Halsted: Who knows, anymore… COVID has completely changed the world and the way we function. This is nuts, man. It took almost an hour just to get past the security check. I’m not a privileged asshole who isn’t willing to follow the new protocols for safe travels but you should see how some of this idiots melt down when they are told to leave the lobby because they refuse to wear a mask upon entrance. It’s damn near hilarious! I mean… grown men brought to tears over this shit, screaming, “I’M GONNA MISS MY FLIGHT!!!”
Enforcer: Dude… that IS hilarious!! I’m just glad I can take a short drive to work this week.
Halsted: Yeah… yeah, rub it in.
Enforcer: I still don’t understand why you didn’t just stay out here.
Halsted: Oh, you know how Joey gets.
Enforcer: Fair enough… he is a worrier.
Halsted: That he is. Speaking of worriers, if I ever hear that whore, Rose accuse me of taking steroids, then I will personally deliver my next IPW piss test to her skank face!! Anyway, the bottomline is this: Bumble-bitch wants to make like she doesn’t know me and blow me off like an ant on a picnic table but we’re beat the ever-living Hell out of her at Chaos. She already admitted that she can’t count on her partner and that they won’t work as a team. That means that she is basically going into this match on her own damn island. Black hasn’t even shown up to either say that he’ll work with her or not. I’ll gonna take that as my opportunity to drop her and get a pinfall on the current reigning world heavyweight championship. That’s one more step on our list to take what we came here for. These pissants have no clue what’s coming but they will all suffer the same fate at our hands. We take what we want when we want and no one will know what hit them because they won’t see us coming. IPW is ours for the taking and for anyone who thinks otherwise, well… we’re gonna introduce them to the Ferryman!!
Enforcer: I couldn’t have said it any better, brother!
::As Halsted and Enforcer start to come to the end of their conversation, the attendant makes the following announcement on the overheard system of the terminal: “NOW BOARDING FLIGHT 722 TO SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA. PLEASE HAVE YOUR TICKETS IN HAND BEFORE ENTERING THE RAMPWAY.”::
Halsted: Oh… That’s me! Time to go to work!
Enforcer: You fuckin’ know it… hey, is does your flight have the same digits as your birthday?
Halsted: Indeed it does!
Enforcer: Must be a sign.
Halsted: Hell yeah, it is… good things are coming, brother… See you in Santa Monica!
Enforcer: Damn right!
::Halsted sees that he is next to hand his ticket to the attendant and ends the call. He nods as he boards and smirks knowing that The Untouchable Talent is about to make strides on their plans in IPW. SCENE FADES TO BLACK. END SCENE.::
