🎬 NPW: In London — Episode 2

📅 Early 1989

Title: “Breaking the Ring, Building the Dream”

🏠 Scene 1: Marcus’s House — Brothers’ Final Decision

The room is tense. The three brothers sit around a small wooden table, empty whiskey glasses nearby, the weight of years in their eyes.

Reggie (serious):

“Marcus, we might never wrestle again — but we’re not done. It’s time we build something bigger. Wrestling companies. And when the time comes… we’ll face each other in the ring as rivals — but in business too.”

Marcus (determined):

“It’s a deal.”

Elijah (nodding):

“I’m in. Let’s make this real.”

Reggie and Elijah stand up and leave the room.

❤️ Elizabeth’s Warning

Elizabeth (worried):

“Honey, please... don’t let this Reggie fight kill you. Don’t listen to others' opinions—it might destroy you one day.”

Marcus (cold):

“I don’t give a damn.”

He walks out, leaving Elizabeth behind, worried but silent.

🏢 Scene 2: Marcus’s Abandoned Building — The Birth of NPW

Marcus arrives at an old, empty warehouse. He stands alone, eyes scanning the dusty space.

Marcus (to himself):

“What do I call this? Something fresh, something new... Next generation...”

He thinks deeply, pacing the room, then smiles:

“NPW. NextGen Pro Wrestling.”

Marcus pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and scribbles the name with sharp strokes.

📞 Scene 3: The Bank Call & Plan

Marcus picks up the dusty landline phone and dials.

Bank Rep (voice over):

“Your account balance is one million pounds, Mr. King.”

Marcus:

“That’s exactly what I need.”

✈️ Scene 4: Marcus & Elizabeth’s Trip to America

With £10,000 in cash, Marcus and Elizabeth fly to America.

Marcus exchanges pounds to dollars — £1,000,000 = $1,700,000.

🚜 Scene 5: Building the NPW Headquarters

Marcus calls Steve River,the lead contractor:

“Steve, I need 100 workers. Find me the perfect land and build me a wrestling empire.”

Steve and his crew scout locations and finally find a large open plot just outside London.

Steve (on the phone):

“Sir, we found the land. Perfect for what you want.”

🏗️ Construction Begins

The camera follows workers pouring concrete, erecting steel beams, and assembling the NPW arena from the ground up:

Heavy machinery rumbles, dust fills the air

Workers weld lighting rigs and install sound systems

The ring is built — steel posts, thick ropes, and mats

Seating for thousands takes shape

💸 Five Months Later — The Big Moment

The building stands tall, NPW’s new home. Steve approaches Marcus with a serious look.

Steve:

“Marcus… where’s the money for the last payment?”

Marcus pulls out a thick bundle of $1,000,000 cash and hands it over.

Marcus:

“NPW is ready.”

🪧 Scene 6: The NPW Sign Installation

Marcus buys a giant illuminated sign with bold letters: NPW — NextGen Pro Wrestling.

The sign costs $20,000

Workers climb ladders, carefully bolt the sign above the main entrance

At night, the sign flickers to life — glowing bright against the London skyline

😤 Marcus’s Final Words

Marcus stands in front of the building, wiping sweat from his brow.

“God damn… finally done after five f***ing months.”

He locks the door, looks back once, and walks into the night.

🛏️ Scene 7: Marcus’s Bedroom — The Rest Before The Storm

Exhausted, Marcus collapses on his bed, eyes staring at the ceiling.

Marcus (whispers):

“This is just the beginning.”
