The scene opens inside the home of Nate Ortiz. The room is lit by a grey light of the overcast California sky. Nate is sitting at a desk looking through a photo album. As he flips through the pages of the album but stops at a picture with a caption that reads, “The Legacy Begins”. The picture shows Nate Ortiz receiving the OCWX Unified Championship from Jaysin Sensation at Damnation 05’. Nate looks at the picture and smirks as he thinks to himself…
Nate: It’s funny how things begin. I come from a company that was going no where and within my first month the owner of the company calls me down to reside after I had failed to win the World War Tour and hands me the most prestigious title of the time, thrusting me into the for front of the United States division. As much as I want to kill him now I would not have gotten to wear I am were it not for this night.
Nate flips more pages, passing images of his Apocalypse matches with Geomon and Recon, the formation of Revolution Inc. with Blade, Versus, and Nick Kage, his one hour Ironman Match with Tyler Ewanchuk and the 2005 Hall of Fame ceremony . He stops turning the pages at the site of a burning Revolution Inc. bar as he walked away.
Nate: There were the ups and the downs in the early days. And this was probably my lowest point. Almost 5 months as champion had made me paranoid and I turned my back on my friends and my family to make sure nothing would get in my way of holding on to that belt. I tried to burn Blade, Versus, and Nick alive, ran over Ed’s leg, and even tried to incapacitate Versus by running him off the road. All for naught because I lost the belt the very next month. That is when I took that time to gather myself. Ahh where is it…
Nate flips through the album until he comes across a picture of he and Jaysin Sensation shaking hands after Nate’s victory over Geomon to give control of OCW back to Jaysin.
Nate: I remember it clearly Jaysin had been attacked earlier in the show and was in no condition to compete, and he had to call on me to save OCW for everyone. I could have never thought that over a year later I would come to regret my decision to come to his aid.
He turns through the pages passing his Buried Alive match with Mayhem, and his reunion with Revolution Inc. He stops turning the pages when he comes across a picture of himself and AJ Phoenix before the unification of the OCW and European Championships.
Nate: Again I made history the first OCW Champion, now the last European Champion and first World Heavyweight Champion. I took it for granted. Had I known what was to come just two months later…
Nate ignores the images of Jaysin kicking him in the face, costing him the World Heavyweight Championship and stops at the image of the wreckage from Majin’s attack at Summercide 07’.
Nate: There moments have changed everything for me. I almost had the two things I love most taken from me. My wife and my career. It is these images that have fueled me on my path to vindication.
Nate continues to flip through the images stopping at the first blank page he sees. He reaches on his desk and grabs a picture of his stare down of Kage from Riot and places it into the album.
Nate: I have done everything there is to do in this business. The only man to challenge what I have done is Kage. My Unified title to his North American title, S Cup Championship to the Hardcore Championship, I won the tag championships against him, he won them against me, OCW Championships to OCW Championships, Wrestler of the Year 06’ to Wrestler of the Year 07’, Hall of Fame to Hall of Fame. This match is the last piece of the puzzle. One match on the biggest stage to put the crown jewel on one man’s legacy.
Nate grabs a pen and writes “Legacy’s End” under the picture of himself and Kage. Nate closes the album and places it on his desk. He stands and walks towards a window in the room. He looks to the overcast sky. As the scene fades the sun begins to shine through the clouds.
