Here is a a screenplay that i wrote.

[army_paralegal]

(Our story begins in a black, shadowy world. There is mist and smoke coming from up the ground. It is black all around. There are barely audible moans coming from all over. Suddenly, two human forms appear. They are both in their teens. They are male and female. One is a fifteen-year-old girl named Alexandra, who is wearing a green bathing suit with black wrestling suits and biker shorts. The male, whose name is Chris, has black hair and is wearing only corduroy pants and black wrestling boots.)

Alexandra: Well, Chris. What do you think of the afterlife?

Chris: (Annoyed and yelling) Can't these deadheads shut up!?

Alexandra: Deal with it. We are going to be here forever!

Chris: (Angrily) FOREVER!!!?

Alexandra: (sadly) Yes!

Chris: Sorry! It is just that after the battle with Shinobi........

Alexandra: And after my battle with Trini Kwan, I learned true regret. At my actions, everything!

Chris: How did you die? Me, beaten to death by Shinobi.

Alexandra, Broken neck from being thrown over the top rope and face first onto the floor.

Chris: As I said before, I was pummeled to death.

Alexandra: Sergeant Kelly did not help you? Neither did Dean? Oh, and that is what you get for killing the brother of a ninja.

Chris: No. They were knocked out! Laura especially hates me, you know! But, she helps me! Sometimes!

Alexandra: Wonder if they are dead.

Chris: When I first discovered that I died, Dean, Laura, and Sergeant Kelly were getting back off. And Shinobi was pinning me.

Alexandra: I was just thrown over the top rope and onto the unprotected concrete floor face-first. My neck snapped, killing me instantly.

Chris: (Cringing) What a way to go!

Alexandra: Yours was more gory!

(Chris and Alexandra start walking together. They eventually stop at the bank of a glowing black river.)

Alexandra: Ever since I first started coming, I would for a bit stand at the bank of this river and watch how many souls are ferried across this river by Charon.

Chris: How long you been dead for?

Alexandra: I don't know. I am guessing around a few hours. Time stops when you are dead.

Chris: When you first die...... It is like, really weird.

Alexandra: Death hurts the non-repentant.

(In the distance, a shadowy figure starts to approach from the river. It looks brownish in color. The figure eventually reveals to be a boat with ghostly figures inside. One figure, who is as black as the background, is rowing the boat. The boat arrives at the shore and the ghostly figures disembark from the boat.)

Alexandra: That's Charon. And those are the new arrivals.

Chris: I can see that!

Alexandra: I just come here to reflect.

Chris: Reflect on what?

Alexandra: Reflect on my life. The bad things I have done.

Chris: You reflect?

Alexandra: Once you die, it is too late.

Chris: Tell that to Mark Calloway.

Alexandra: There is no reincarnation. Calloway's will was so strong that he refused to come. He just wanted revenge on Basho.

Chris: (Sarcastically) Well, this ain't heaven! I'll tell you that!

Alexandra: No sarcasm! It is true!

Chris: (Annoyed) I know that!

Alexandra: We are also judged. (Sadly) Never to see the sweet light........

Chris: Never to know the good times..... But wait! There are memories!

Alexandra: (Confused) Huh?

Chris: I have learned that if people keep remembering you, in a way, you are still alive in that world.

Alexandra: I don't think I like the direction this is going!

Chris: (Grinning evilly) Eventually, some fanatic will want to bring me back with some spell or something! AND THEN! I CAN GET REVENGE ON SHINOBI!!

Alexandra: (Walking away) You are going against God! I can see that you have not repented, even in death. I will have nothing more to do wit you until you come to your senses.

(Alexandra disappears into the mist. Chris looks at the river for a bit, then up at the sky. He then turns to the camera and smirks evilly. The mist eventually disappears and the screen fades to black.)

Nice start to it.

Sounds a bit like a rp though than a screen play.

I do have a little question though, why are they wearing "wrestling boots"?

 

[winchable]

I think they're wrestlers who died...and this is the wrestling afterlife?

...or is there an allegory and a deeper meaning?

 

[army_paralegal]

Do you think it would sell?

 

[army_paralegal]

Nice start to it.

Sounds a bit like a rp though than a screen play.

I do have a little question though, why are they wearing "wrestling boots"?

Because they were wrestlers.

 

[StevenTernovetsky]

Now this is an interesting concept.

Not many screen plays envolve wrestling. It's nice to see someone try something different.

 

[sourgrrl78]

that was interesting start. what made u want to make the characters wrestlers?

 

[army_paralegal]

Does anyone remember the kids show, "You Can't Do That on Television?"

Remember, the one from nickelodeon?

Also, here is a website dedicated to the show, www.ycdtotv.com

 

[patrick666]

Cheers,

Patrick

 

[army_paralegal]

That's the one!

(Our Scene begins in a dressing room. In the dressing room, there are a few benches and doors. One of the doors open to reveal a 13-year-old girl stumbling in, holding her lower back. She is wearing navy blue and black wrestling boots and is wearing a pink gymnastics leotard with black polka dots .She leaves the door open and finally comes to a bench, where she stumbles stomach first. Background noise is coming from the door, which leads to the hallway from whence she came The girl's name is Jessica.)

Jessica: (Wincing) Oh, man. My back!

(Jessica looks up to the ceiling, as if contemplating praying. As she does so, a huge woman of about early thirties. She is huge and is wearing a black bathing suit and boots. She also wears fishnet stockings. She stares at Jessica malevolently. Her name is Mathilda)

Mathilda: (Evilly) Hey, Jessica.

(Jessica, startled, turns around to see Mathilda. She still holds her back and has a hand on her chest.)

Jessica: (Fearfully) What? Haven't I suffered enough? Oh Lord, what next?

Mathilda: Just came to ask how you liked the punishment I dished out to you?

Jessica: Please! You hurt me enough already.

Mathilda: (Starting to walk away) You are just an example of what happens to anyone that gets in the ring with me.

(Mathilda leaves while not closing the door. Jessica goes back to lying on her stomach and holding her lower back. Another girl comes in. She hasdark-blond hair and is about 15-16 years of age. She wears a navy blue and black leotard with high heel shoes, carries  a cane, and is wearing a business shirt and jacket. She comes into the dressing room and closes the door.)

Jessica: (Turning around) Who are you?

New Girl: My name is Kate. I saw your match with Queen Kong. Not a very easy woman to beat. Might as well wrestle an elephant.

Jessica: That is what it felt like. By the way, you look like you are ready for a match.

Kate: I am. I am going to be wrestling some prison inmate.

Jessica: (Chuckling but still in some pain) Well, if you are going to fight a vicious prison inmate, God be with you.

Kate: Thanks. Is this your first time wrestling?

Jessica: Yes. How about you?

Kate: Same here. How do you feel?

Jessica: Still in some pain. That backbreaker move is very painful. Trust me. Lord knows.

Kate: I saw it. Just dashing you on her knee and then splashing you. That is brutal.

Jessica. Well, God saw it was going to happen at some point in the future. When do you wrestle?

Kate: Today.

Jessica: No. When do you wrestle?

Kate: In ten minutes.

Jessica: So, you still have time to talk.

Kate: If you want.

Jessica: That being my first match, I was so excited. I was hopeful to God that I would win using my wits.

Flashback: Jessica is taking off her jacket and giving it to the ringside attendant. Mathilda comes stalking down the aisle with a very intimidating look on her face. Jessica just stands and bites her lip. Mathilda slowly climbs into the ring and poses in a monstrous pose. Jessica, feeling confident, runs at her full steam ahead, attempting a dropkick to her back. Jessica falls to the ground and only pushes Mathilda forward slightly.

Jessica VO: I was about to pay the price for my presumption.

Mathilda then starts stomping on Jessica's ribs. The scene changes into Kate's face, who cringes.

Kate: That has got to hurt. Like, putting you in a match with a 200-something pound woman is like.... I don't know..... murder.

Jessica: I know. Looks like God did not want me to win. I never even landed a blow after the failed drop-kick.

(Kate nods sagely)

Jessica: Or maybe God is saying this is much too advanced for me.
Kate: Maybe

Flashback: Much later in the match, Mathilda is bringing Ax Handle blows on Jessica's back. Jessica is screaming in pain. Mathilda then stomps on her back. Mathilda then pulls her up by the arms and head butts Jessica, who then falls on her back, barely moving. Mathilda then picks up Jessica and holds her over her head. Mathilda then kneels down on one knee and then dashes Jessica back first over her knee. This makes Jessica roll off Mathilda's knee. Jessica is semi-conscious and weakly holding her back. Mathilda turns her over to her back and lies down on top of her. The referee gets down to count. The scene changes back to the locker room.

Kate: (Astonished and sarcastically) Surprised you were not crippled.

Jessica: Yeah. I know. God must have given me strength. Not to win, mind you, but to have survived that backbreaker.

Kate: How do you feel now?

Jessica: Still some pain, but God willing, my back will get better.

(Just then, there is a knock on the door. Kate goes to open the door. Jessica by then is now starting to sit up with her hand still on her back. Kate opens the door to reveal a well-dressed man in his early thirties. This man is the promoter)

Promoter: (To Kate) Kate, your match is coming up next in a minute. So, you might want to get ready.

Kate: Okay. (To Jessica) Nice meeting ya!

(Kate leaves the dressing room and the promoter approaches Jessica on the bench and sits down with her.)

Promoter: I was watching your match. You have confidence and faith. I admire you for that.

Jessica: Thanks. It is with God's help that I get through the day.

Promoter: (Nodding) Yeah. You told me a lot about your faith.

Jessica: It is what gives me strength.

Promoter: Listen. Do you think God would allow you to take part in another match?

Jessica: (Thinking) If it is in the divine plan, then Yes?

Promoter: How do you find out the divine plan?

Jessica: (With a smirk) In the heart and in the conscience.

Promoter: Okay, if your heart and conscience think they will allow you to take part in another match, call me.

Jessica: Yes, Sir!

(The promoter then leaves the dressing room. Jessica takes off her boots, revealing her bare feet. She pauses to consider on whether or not she should take part in another match. She looks at the ceiling in a contemplative prayer. Jessica the gets up, leaving her boots and still holding her back, trying to catch the Promoter.)

Jessica: Sir! Wait! I want to take part in another match! Wait for me!

(As Jessica walks out of the dressing room in her bare feet, the screen fades to black.)

 

[karl28]

                      Wasnt that the show where the kids got green slime dumped on them if  they got the wrong answer ?

 

[aspiring_recruit]

didn't Alanis Morrisette play 'Moose' on that show?
I miss Barf burgers :'(
wasn't the slime when you said 'I don't know'?

 

[patrick666]

Yeah, I think that's right. They would always be suckered into too.

What a great show. Anyone remember the Hilarious House of Frankenstein?

 

[aspiring_recruit]

was that the one with that weird oracle with the huge turban?

 

[sourgrrl78]

i really like that.  What makes u want to use wrestling as the back drop for screen plays 

 

[JANE@home]

LOL and those stupid locker jokes  ;D  "hey Alex........"


Jane

 

[GerryCan]

Ok, so they got the slime when they said ' I don't know'

Anyone remember what they had to say to get water dumped on them???

I always claimed I hated that show when it was on, but found myself watching it everyday. :blotto:

Nice to see though, it's something I probably would have never thought of, had it not been posted.

 

[NavalGent]

i recall one time when they were told that they had run out of green slime, so the kids looked at each other with delight and both said "I DON'T KNOW!!!" and BLACK slime was poured on them...i almost doodood my pants laughin. Also, i remember two radioactive burgers being slid towards each other and then they blew up... and another time that filthy restaurant guy poured hot coffee in all their laps and, OH and then there was the whole (anti-?)smoking show with the cavemen coughing cause the dinosaurs were smoking and you could order the "fool your teachers, parents and friends" fake smoking kit including fake cigarettes, green barf, and some other stuff...i don't remember much, but i remember my parents were not too impressed with me watching it...their reaction to it was similar to their more recent reaction to Trailor Park Boys...so i watched it every time it was on. ahhhhhh the memories.
