The scene opens to an airport gate and destination sign which reads:
From: Beijing, China
To: Sochi, Russia
The camera quickly swings around to the bright smile of Criss Cassidy.
"What's up guys! Criss Cassidy here and I'm bringing you all access to the life of a wrestling God."
Cassidy turns the camera around to an empty gate and quiet surroundings. Nothing is moving and Criss breaks the silence.
"Just another exciting day at the airport. Exclusive behind the scenes footage. We making moves."
Big Sean "Moves" begins to play in the background as the camera gets turned around and Criss is bopping his shoulders to the music. He begins to laugh and abruptly stops the music.
"Alright, so maybe I got here a couple hours early. And maybe I have nowhere to go and nothing else to do. So I figured I'd talk to y'all for a bit. Who knows? Maybe this becomes a reoccuring thing. People love watching them vlogs right?"
Cassidy laughs at himself and the camera shakes with his amusement.
"Anyway, I had a great match here in China with Hunter Storms. We went back and forth, really putting on a show for the Chinese fans. I know the crowd loved it, but Hunter didn't seem appreciate the blessings. After I christened my debut off the top turnbuckle, Storms showed his true colors.
I took Hunter Storms to his breaking point and he turned into a coward. Cowards die many times before their deaths Hunter. Fuck with me and it will lead to your crucifixion. Get accustomed to seeing me guys. Criss Cassidy is about to .... "
The feed suddenly cuts off and the scene fades to black.
The scene opens to a line of people outside of a very small toy store. We follow the line into the store, leading to a table and poster which reads
"Former Longest Reigning IWF Heavyweight Champion. 'The Second Coming' Criss Cassidy"
Criss sits behind the table as wrestling fan after wrestling fan approaches him for pictures and autographs. Fast forward an hour and the store is completely empty. Only Cassidy and his former manager/IWF promoter Nikolai Volkoff stand. Nikolai hands Criss an envelope.
"Thank you for setting this all up Niko. The fans here still love the Second Coming."
"Yes, of course my friend. You, big superstar. The people call for you. The fans, they want to see you again. When you come back?
"Niko, you know we've talked about this before. I can't come back to Russia full-time. I just signed with one of the biggest companies on the planet. I'm chasing the dream now."
Volkoff grabs a replica of the IWF Heavyweight belt and puts it on the shoulder of Cassidy.
"Look how good. Just like old times. The God of wrestling. Christopher please."
"Nikolai I'm sorry but I can't. Passing up an opportunity like this is out of the question. I appreciate everything you've done for me here and I will always pay respect. But this a new chapter and I must move on."
"You selfish prick! Where you be without me? Nothing! Just a wannabe NBA! GO! Watch you come crawling back!"
Nikolai walks to the back and slams the door behind him. Criss puts the replica belt on the table and walks out saddened by the recent exchange with an old friend.
"Ever since I left IWF, Nikolai has been holding it against me. We helped turn that place into the biggest promotion in Russia. I spent my first two years there, growing with the company. Being a star in Russia is cool but I wasn't breaking any new grounds. I wasn't testing my skills against the best and I'm not getting any younger. I did everything there. Climbed my way to the top but in the big scheme of things I barely was breaking the surface. It's time to move on, take to make moves. I'm about to hit my prime and I'm taking this show on the road."
The scene opens to inside a Boys and Girls club gymnasium, where a small Indy show has finished up and crew are taking apart the wrestling ring. The camera pans around the room and finally gets turned around to the face of Criss Cassidy.
"What's up guys! Criss Cassidy here and we just finished up in Chesterfield, Michigan. At the Apex Pro Wrestling show. I know I got cut off a little early last time but I got the camera all charged up and I'm ready to bring y'all more content."
Cassidy turns the camera around, back on the wrestling ring and seats that are getting taken down.
"It's not the Beijing Aquatics Center but it still gets the job done. We had over 150 people here tonight, blessed by God's gift. That's 150 more believers. 150 more fans to the congregation. 150 more human beings that know about the Second Coming."
The camera focuses back around to Cassidy's face.
"The point is, I'm here to make a name for myself. From small indy shows, all the way to the big leagues at EWC. My job is never through. Always working, always spreading the word. I'm here to lay the foundation and when I'm done they'll say, the house of God lives in EWC. Until then, I'll be building it brick by brick. And you guys will be along every step of the way."
Cassidy holds the camera out and blows a kiss, before covering the camera with his hand and the scene fades to black.
