Our scene opens on Hyde Park in London, England. People are moving through the lush greenery as they make their way to work or home. Children are seen playing in the open grassy plane flying kites, playing catch, and chasing each other in a good old game of tag. Couples are seen sharing picnics and walking their dogs. Large oak trees stand all around providing shade for those just looking for a place to relax. In the distance sits a few chess tables where a man sits playing chess against himself. We approach the man to see that he is dressed in an exquisite Hardy Amies midnight blue suit with hand crafted English leather shoes and a pair of gold rimmed Dolce and Gabbana luxury Aviator sunglasses rests upon his face. His brown hair is trimmed to perfection and his facial hair is so close that it leaves just enough to create the inklings of a beard. As the camera moves around to see the face of the man he is revealed to be, Desmond Wolfe. Wolfe looks up at the camera and raises his left hand to remove his Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses before speaking.
Wolfe: Many people find it difficult to play a game like chess. It takes a lot of patience, and skill to make the right moves. You have to be three steps ahead of the game in order to get the upper hand. Your mind always has to be running, working, thinking, non-stop. Your next move could be your last. Every move you make, every time you touch one piece that piece may become vulnerable. Timing is everything in this game. Now, when you think about something like chess you are drawn into thoughts of another competition. Where being three steps ahead could be the difference from winning and losing a match. Professional wrestling and chess are so much alike its, it’s astonishing. You make one wrong move within the confines of that ring and your entire career could be over. One misstep and you could lose it all. For instance, take this Sunday for example when Wade Barrett and I take on The Usos. If we were to rush into that match and attempt to "dominate" our opponents we would surely fail. Rather, we must examine our opponents and make them play our game while we wait for the moment to make our move.
Wolfe pauses the thought as he ponders his next move on the chess board. Moving the black rook three spaces to the left he stares at the piece for a long time almost entranced by it. Wolfe looks up at the camera and smiles as we are oblivious to what he has just done.
Wolfe: Checkmate, see it is moments like this that give me the most pleasure. Not nights where Barrett and myself charge the ring to pick the scraps left by others. Those nights, where we take what is left of The Usos and exploit our advantage to try to maim them before our match this Sunday are simply movements on the chessboard. Chipping away at their hardy exterior to get meat underneath and that meat is the Saturday Night’s Main Event Tag Team Championships. For weeks I have preaching about how I came to this company to bring class and dignity back into professional wrestling. While that is all well and good, I found that I wasn’t prepared to take on that responsibility alone. Thus, I formed the United Kingdom of Wrestling with Wade Barrett and William Regal. They represent key pieces in my chess game against Jimmy and Jey. Barrett represents the rook, headstrong, and aggressive in his pursuits. While Regal represents the bishop, skilled, and patient, ready to strike when his time is needed. Myself, I represent the knight, versatile, and tactical, each of my movements proportionate to its actions. We are all dangerous in our own ways, but together we form an impenetrable force.
Wolfe raises his left hand and places his sunglasses back upon his face as he gets to his feet. He looks at the board again, reaching down with his right hand to lay the beaten white King on its back. Desmond turns and begins to walk away motioning for the camera to follow him while he continues to speak.
Wolfe: I said earlier, that both chess and professional wrestling we must be three moves ahead of our opponents if we wish to get anywhere. This much has always been true within the context of professional wrestling and life. Thus, is the reason that Barrett and myself have slowly been chipping away at the Usos over the course of the last month. You see, before I joined this company I was examining each and every competitor on the roster to prepare myself for my arrival. I studied tapes and watched every match that took place every week to prepare myself for the competition. Every single competitor in this company has some weakness within them and I watched each one of them to find a way to exploit it. Take Matt Sydal, for example, while he is fundamentally sound he relies too much on his aerial tactics. While his Shooting Star Press is truly a thing of beauty, should he miss it he is vulnerable, should his opponent raise their knees, he is vulnerable, and that is when I would strike. The Usos on the other hand are a different situation all together because they cover each other’s weaknesses. Jimmy is the power of the team and thus is subsequently a tad slower than his brother. Whilst Jey, he is the lighter and faster member of the team, thus covering his brother’s weakness. Also because of their appearances they can pull a mirror act to disrupt the match up and give themselves the advantage. However, their weakness comes when they are separated. Should you isolate one brother from the other his weaknesses become more apparent. Now, Wade and I did lose to each of them in respective singles matches, but that was because I approached the match looking at them as a team and not a singles competitor. There in lied my mistake, I tried to rush him and take him into a technical battle without being fully aware of his skills as a singles competitor because until them all of his matches were tag team matches. Now, because of the subsequent matches with them in singles competition we were able to study the brothers and individuals to find their weaknesses.
Wolfe stops suddenly as the sun pierces the trees above him and turns to face the camera. Desmond removes his sunglasses to reveal his piercing gaze as his calm demeanor has taken a swift switch. Wolfe looks into the camera and speaks very deliberately.
Wolfe: Sunday, Jimmy, Jey, we will be three moves ahead of you because we already know what you are going to do in our match. Sunday, you will emerge just as you always do to “dominate” your competition and we will be there to foil your every maneuver. Two boards right, three boards left, Checkmate! Your days of “Domination” are over gentlemen. It is the dawning of a new era in Saturday Night’s Main Event, the era of the United Kingdom of Wrestling. By the end of the night you will be left wanting and we will stand tall with those straps because we are prepared to take the fight to you like no one has before. Enjoy your last day with those belts gentlemen because come Sunday they are coming back to the UK with us!
Wolfe places his sunglasses back on his face. He adjusts his suit and walks into the distance as the scene fades to black around him.
