The scene opens outside of the arena as a long black limo arrives in the parking area. The fans wait to see who steps out, as the driver walks around and opens the door for the passengers. After a brief hesitation, the fans erupt with a singular “BOO” as Kevin Legacy, Michael Dredge, and Talon Wilkinson step out of the limo. None of the men look happy as they begin their trek into the arena. Talon adjusts his tie as he looks around, with Dredge carrying his world title as he sneers at the camera and looks over to Legacy who seems a bit off. As the group walks into the arena, the fans boos get louder. The trio marches through the halls as suddenly “Face to the Floor” by Chevelle begins to play over the PA and the fans know whats coming next. They all get quiet for a moment, and then again explode with a vengeful wave of boos as the owner, the world champion, and Legacy step through the curtain and head to the ring…
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kevin Legacy, CRW World Champion Michael Dredge, and CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson!
The fans show no respect as they let their hatred for the group be known.
(Kelly): Welcome to Face Off everyone, I’m Kelly Reyes here alongside the always outspoken Eli Brooks. We’ve skipped the flashy pyro show to start the night, and as you see the boss is out here, so this can’t be good.
Talon signals for a microphone as Dredge looks into the audience and simply gives them all a disgusted look.
(Talon): …Two weeks ago on Face Off, Gravedigger and Justice Legal won the upset of the century when they defeated Michael Dredge and Kevin Legacy to win the tag team championship.
The fans cheer and begin chanting “Digger” and “Legal” as Dredge begins to pace inside the ring and Legacy begins talking trash with the front row fans.
(Talon): This was nothing more than a fluke win and a travesty for the industry! Gravedigger did not start the match with his partner, instead he hammed up an injury and milked it so that he could come down to the ring at the last possible moment to steal a win from my champions… Gravedigger, you are nothing more than an ungrateful coward! I gave you money, I gave you a job, and I made you a star! I did all that. Without me, you’d be sputtering around in the dark, wresting for some joke world tour, and eating out of the trash cans outside of the venues you jobbed out to every week! You think that you are self made? Not a chance, you still have to invade Lou Manson’s air time to get any attention outside of the time we GIVE you on the air here on Face Off! You are a fabricated star, nothing more, and at Vendetta, I’m going to enjoy watching Michael Dredge extinguish your flame!
Talon hands the microphone to Michael Dredge, as Dredge begins to speak in a volatile tone.
(Dredge): ‘Digger! You think that you really did anything special in that tag match? I was picking Justice Legal apart, piece by piece, brick by brick, just like I said I would. I nearly snapped his arm on two occasions, and I could have, but where is the fun in that? I wanted him to suffer as long as possible, but then you had to try to ride in and be the hero?! Well let me tell you something Gravedigger… We may not be facing off in the house of mirrors match that I wanted, but we WILL be brawling in an Anarchy Rules Match! No disqualifications, No Count Outs, Pinfalls count anywhere! And let me tell you something Big Man. I will make you suffer. I will cut you, I will bleed your big ass until you cannot stand on your own two feet! …but talk is cheap. Let me show you exactly what I mean!
Suddenly, Dredge drops the mic and turns, lashing out and Kicking Kevin Legacy in the jaw with the “Swift Cuts!” (Sweet Chin Music) Legacy drops to the mat instantly as Dredge pounces on him and begins hammering away at him with a series of vicious MMA style Hammer Fists!
(Eli): What the hell?! Dredge has lost it!
(Kelly): Kevin Legacy is being assaulted by his own teammate, and the group’s leader, Talon Wilkinson is just watching… This was a set up!
(Eli): He was the one who was beat last week by Gravedigger and Legal, but wow…
Legacy is already bleeding as Dredge stops the assault of hammer fists. He rolls to his feet and grabs a handful of Legacy’s hair, dragging him up to his feet! The fans are booing Dredge as he drives a knee into the face of his partner and then falls back, locking in the Magnum Hair Trigger (MMA Armbar) Legacy screams in pain as Dredge quickly snaps the air, leaving the crowd stunned. Dredge releases the hold after the arm is snapped and picks Legacy up and tosses him over the top rope and down to the floor near the announcers table!
(Kelly): We need some security out here now!
(Eli): Dredge has gone to far, he has broken Legacy’s arm, this is bad… really bad.
(Kelly): Oh God, he’s coming over here… Hey! Stop That!
Dredge rips the announce table apart, throwing the headsets and monitors across the ringside area, silencing the announcers and clearing the path way. He then lifts Legacy back to his feet and sets him up for the “Jagged Edge” (Inverted Outsiders Edge) The fans watch on in horror and the announcers scramble as Dredge tosses Legacy face first through the announce table, including the chairs that are nearby! Legacy crashes through the debris and is left laying lifeless in a pool of his own blood with a broken arm… The fans are in disarray as Talon looks on with a sick smirk inside the ring. Dredge walks around the rubble and seems somewhat satisfied, but then he grabs a steel folding chair…
Talon gives him the nod, and Dredge grabs Legacy once again, lifting the dead weight up to his feet before drilling him with a nasty unprotected chair shot! Legacy crumples to the group and Dredge seemingly gets a sick glint in his eyes. He walks over to Legacy’s head, and opens the chair, sandwiching Legacy’s neck between the folding pieces of the chair! Dredge climbs up onto the ring apron and begins laughing maniacally as Talon looks on. Suddenly, Eli Brooks runs up and gets between Dredge and Legacy, Eli demands Dredge stops his attack, but Dredge simply kicks him in the face, sending him stumbling back and down on his ass! Kelly runs over to check on Eli, as Dredge jumps off of the apron and stomps the chair as the cameras cut to black. The fans scream in pure fear and horror as the audio feed continues but the video is gone. After a few moments we cut to commercial.
The scene opens up inside a rec center, and a guy on top of a ladder is seen changing a burnt out light bulb on a fixture above the exit door. The camera view slowly starts to move through the place, and two pool tables are seen in the center of the large room with a few people playing on each side. The view moves past them and a big screen TV is seen mounted on the wall in the background, and a replay of a past CRW Face Off show is being played. The view comes to a stop on a ping pong table near the television, where two guys are going back and forth with lightning speed, both sweating profusely as they each want to score the winning point. One of them finally scores the point, and he dances around and raises his hands celebrating then raises the ping pong paddle up to his mouth and yells into it like it was a microphone…
Guy#1: “And sill the CRW World Ping Pong Champion…..”
The other man is wiping sweat from his head as he tucks his paddle in his back pocket by the handle…
Guy#2 “Wow man…that was brutal!”
Suddenly, something comes crashing through the wall next to them and a huge blast of smoke fills the room. Both of the men fall to the ground and are covered with debris, and as they brush themselves off and look up they see Lucas Payne and Gravedigger standing there inside the hole, with a handful of other CRW superstars standing behind them…
Lucas: “You think that was brutal?”
Gravedigger: “We’ll show you brutal!”
The view zooms in on the two men and they both get “deer in headlights” looks on their faces as Lucas and Gravedigger’s arms are seen reaching down and pulling them up to their feet. The view then pans back out and a whole flock of CRW superstars are seen flooding into the room through the hole and they start beating everybody up. The view zooms in on the big television on the wall as it turns to static, then the picture flickers back on and Talon Wilkinson is seen on the screen standing with his arms crossed and a mean look on his face…
Talon: "You wanna get brutal right in the comfort of your own home? Well now you can! THQ and Code Red Wrestling present Face Off: The Video Game!”
Footage of the game starts to play on the TV, and Talon’s voice continues…
Talon: “With an all new grappling and submission system never before seen in any other wrestling game!” And a whole list of new features to compliment some classic ones that make up the most innovative wrestling game ever!”
He then starts to name off some of the game’s features as more gameplay is shown, outlining each category as he narrates…

• Punish your opponents in the all new Crucible Tournament Mode! And with so many other different customizable match types and the ability to create your own....the possibilities are endless!!!
Talon: "But don’t worry, just because we added all these new features doesn’t mean we forgot about the old ones!”
Talon’s voice continues as short clips of the CRW superstars are shown having their way with the occupants of the rec center…
Talon: "We still left in the classic’s like:”
LADDER MATCHES!
The guy changing the light bulb is just about to insert the new bulb into the socket when a hand is seen coming into the view and punches him in the stomach. The view then pans out and Diego de la Vega is shown on the opposite side of the ladder, and he grabs the light bulb out of the man’s hand just as he falls backward from the punch and onto a nearby pool table. Diego reaches up and screws in the light bulb until it lights up, then he leaps off the top of the ladder and lands on the guy on the pool table with a swanton bomb.
ANARCHY RULES MATCHES!
Michael Dredge is shown holding a wooden folding chair above his head, and he brings it down to crack somebody over the back with it. The man falls to the ground, and Michael looks at the unbroken chair with an impressed look on his face…
Michael: “Now that’s a good chair.”
TABLE MATCHES!
Eddie Phoenix is seen lifting a guy up, then he brings him down through the ping pong ball table with a suplex.
BAR ROOM BRAWLS!
William Draconis and Justice Legal are seen with pool sticks in their hands, and they both swing them at each other, but miss and instead crack two other people in their backs. The sticks both break in half and the men fall to the ground.
SUBMISSION MATCHES!
Chris Mosh is shown body slamming somebody onto the pool table and then Leon Corbin jumps up on the table and locks the guy into a sharpshooter.
AND THE EVER CLASSIC BATTLE ROYALS!
Buddy Zent and Logan Neilson are seen holding on to the ping pong player with the paddle in his back pocket, and they irish whip him towards Angelus Dante Ambrosi, who sends him into a back flip with a closeline.
Talon: “CRW presents Face Off: The Video Game! Only from THQ…and only for the Playstation 3!!”
The scene ends with Lucas Payne picking up the ping pong paddle lying on the floor next to the fallen player. He puts his foot on the fallen ping pong player’s chest and looks down at him with a cocky smile, then raises the paddle up to his mouth like it was a microphone…
Lucas: “Now THAT’S brutal!”
…The commercial ends and we return to Face Off, a new commentary booth has been set up at ringside, with a new announce table and new chairs as Kelly and Eli sit beside each other, each looking shocked. Eli has an ice pack held against his jaw as Kelly speaks in a somber tone.
(Kelly): Welcome back everyone, during the commercial break, Kevin Legacy was taken out of the arena on a stretcher and taken to a nearby medical facility… Folks, we apologize for the horrible images that were aired just moments ago, this is not CRW, this is the action of a mad man… Michael Dredge must be stopped.
(Eli): …that son of a bitch thinks its ok to strike a commentator?! …I hope Gravedigger buries his ass at Vendetta!
(Kelly): Well, we are going to try to move on now, we only have two matches tonight, but we have been told that there could be a few surprises as well…
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena begins to glow with red lights as “Bloodline” by Slayer plays through the PA system, and smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the entire ramp.
(Announcer): “Ladies and gentleman….please welcome to the ring…."The Sandman" Lucas Payne!”
(Kelly): …well, speaking of surprises… Here comes the Sandman.
(Eli): I wish he was booked tonight, I love watching this big man compete!
(Kelly): Well, he is scheduled to compete in a triple threat match with the winner getting the next shot at the CRW world title, so it’s a big match coming up for Lucas.
(Eli): He’s got a tough road to travel though… Angelus Ambrosi and Black Death, neither are slouches.
The arena fills with boos, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke, and his new manager Ashley Synn is seen walking behind him. The pair head down the aisle and to the ring, then Lucas climbs in over the top rope, and pounds his chest with his fists before raising both arms in the air. Ashley climbs in after him, and he lowers his arms and takes the mic from the ring announcer his music stops playing. The fans boo again as he looks around with a smile on his face, then he slowly raises the mic to his mouth and waits for them to quiet.
(Lucas): “Unfortunately for you fans, I wasn’t booked to compete on Face Off tonight.”
More boos fill the arena and Lucas nods his head, appearing to be mocking the fans…
(Lucas): “I know, I know….it’s a travesty. How can you hold a CRW event and forget to book the most entertaining superstar in the CRW? Well fortunately for you fans, I was in the neighborhood and I decided to grace you with my presence anyway. So…you’re welcome.”
Lucas takes a bow, and the fans boo even more. He glances over at his new manager Ashley and flashes her an evil smile, sensing that she doesn’t quite know yet what to think about the booing fans. He waits for the fans to quiet down, and then he continues on.
(Lucas): “Alright, alright…you got me. I think everybody in this building knows that I wouldn’t be standing out here in this ring if there wasn’t some ulterior motives behind it, so I’ll just get right to it. First off, I’d like to introduce the lovely lady standing next to me. Her name is Miss Ashley Synn, and she will be my manager here in the CRW.”
The fans give a mixed reaction, and Ashley smiles and waves to them. Lucas glances at her with an annoyed look on his face, then he continues.
(Lucas): “As you can see, Ashley has yet to learn the ways of you obnoxious fans, but in any case, there she is ladies and gentleman. Now on to the main order of business….my match at Vendetta.”
The fans’ boos turn to cheers when Lucas mentions Vendetta.
(Lucas): “At Vendetta, I’m set to face Black Death and Angelus Dante Ambrosi in a triple threat match to determine a number one contender for the CRW World Heavyweight Championship.”
Lucas gets another mixed reaction from the crowd.
(Lucas): “Finally, after all the beatings I have handed out since walking through those doors and into this company, I am getting the chance to break away from the pack and climb up to that top tier of the CRW. I was already the most devastating Anarchy Champion this company has ever seen, laying to rest more contenders than anybody who’s held that title before it was deemed inactive, so it’s just natural that I take the next step, and claim my spot as the CRW World Heavyweight Champion!”
The crowd boos again, and Lucas lowers the mic and takes it all in with an evil smile. He looks around and waits for them to quiet down, then raises the mic up to his mouth once again.
(Lucas): “I know it won’t be easy, because standing in my path are two other superstars who are going to claim that they’re just as eager as I am to wear that world title strap. Angelus Dante Ambrosi, we’ve passed each other in the hallway backstage, but until now our paths have never crossed inside the ring. Well that all finally changes at Vendetta. Me and you Angelus, we’re both former champions on a hot streak, so it was only a matter of time before we found ourselves breaking into the world title scene. You’ve got a good thing going for you Angelus, you and your little group of bodyguards beating up all your opponents, but that’s not going to be good enough to get you past the Sandman.”
He pauses as he gets yet another mixed reaction from the crowd.
(Lucas): “I have fought tooth and nail, clawing my way towards the top using superstar after superstar as stepping stones for one purpose, and one purpose only…..to become the CRW World Heavyweight Champion. That opportunity is finally within my grasp, and there is no way in hell I’m letting anybody stand in my way…not you Angelus, and certainly not Black Death.”
Lucas gets a smile on his face as he mentions Black Death’s name.
(Lucas): “Black Death, the odd man out of this whole picture. Whether you know it or not Black Death, you are a very lucky man. We both know that on paper, you have no business being in a number one contender match. But I seem to remember you overcoming both Angelus Dante Ambrosi and his partner Poe Alexander Covinus on the New Year’s edition of Face Off, and if there’s one thing I can’t help but to show respect for, it’s somebody who takes care of business no matter what the odds are. So that big man, is more than enough to warrant my respect as a true contender in this match.”
Lucas nods his approval as he remembers watching the Black Death versus Poe Alexander Covinus match and its outcome…
(Lucas): “But make no mistake Black Death, I am coming for blood at Vendetta and you won’t make out quite so well this time. At Crucible, I watched your career hang in the balance as Karl Sykes battered you over and over with that steel chair. You barely walked away from that assault, and that will seem like mere horseplay compared to what I’m ready to go through in order to leave our match with that title shot. So regardless if any of us thinks you deserve this opportunity Black Death, it’s you who better look deep down and figure out if you’re ready to step into the big leagues and move up to that next level. I’m more than ready; I can promise you that! I have been waiting for this day to come since signing my name on the bottom of my CRW contract. I will leave Vendetta as the number one contender for the CRW World Heavyweight Championship, and you although you will still leave as better wrestler Black Death, you will still be leaving a loser.”
The fans boo again, and Lucas shakes his head…
(Lucas): “Boo all you want, but it changes nothing….you people are looking at the next CRW World Heavyweight Champion. When that bell rings to signal the beginning of our triple threat match at Vendetta, all hell is going to break loose right here in this very ring. But until that time, I will do everything in my power to ensure that these next couple of weeks leading to Vendetta are the two longest weeks of both ADA and Black Death’s miserable lives. I will get inside their heads, I will break them both down mentally piece by piece, and by the time each of them walk out to that ring to face me at Vendetta, they will both already be defeated men.”
The fans give Lucas some more heat, and he pauses again and flashes a cocky looking smile. Ashley looks on from the opposite side of the ring, and he continues.
(Lucas): “Angelus Dante Ambrosi and Black Death….the lines have been drawn for Vendetta boys, and it is me who has taken the first strike. Prepare yourselves gentleman, because the Sandman is coming for you both!”
“Bloodline” by Slayer plays through the PA system again, and Lucas tosses the mic to the mat. He raises both arms in the air and poses to taunt the booing crowd, then he exits the ring with Ashley by his side and walks to the backstage.
(Eli): …After hearing what he had to say, I am convinced that he might be the next #1 Contender…
(Kelly): Especially since A.D.A. will be working double duty at Vendetta, also taking on Freddie Styles.
(Eli): That’s right, I Forgot about that! Whoa, Lucas Payne, get your dancin’ shoes ready!
We cut to the door of Jessica Anderson's office, as shown by the nameplate. A tall, middle aged male walks into shot and knocks on the door.
(Kelly): That's Dr Steve Watkins! He's been brought in by management to provide therapy and analysis on Leon Corbin. I wonder why he's here?
(Eli): Well, I'm sure we're about to find out.
He opens the door and enters. Jessica is sat behind the desk typing away, but looks up upon the door opening.
(Jessica): You must be Doctor Watkins. Jessica Anderson, General Manager of Code Red Wrestling. So good to meet you.
The camera cuts to inside the office, the camera being positioned at the end of Anderson's desk. She extends a hand, and it's met by Dr Watkins' hand. The two exchange a short shake.
(Watkins): Please, call me Steve.
The two part hands, and Jessica gestures towards the chair next to Dr Watkins.
(Jessica): Take a seat.
Both sit, the folder in Watkins' hand being placed onto his lap.
(Jessica): I'm told you're here to update me on your findings with Leon?
Dr Watkins nods, and places the file on the desk. Opening it he offers the first page to Anderson, and begins to talk as she reads.
(Watkins): Indeed. I believe that Mr Corbin has multiple mental illnesses that cause him to have an unstable personality. Most obviously he suffers some sort of psychosis, which I believe to be schizophrenia, however his abrupt exit from our last meeting has made it difficult to diagnose properly. That is paired with some sort of social issues, likely to be anti-social personality disorder.
Jessica gives a nod of understanding.
(Jessica): And do you believe this makes him dangerous?
(Watkins): Highly. Leon is a highly unpredictable individual. His volatile nature could lead to him doing anything. From his in-ring style I'd say he has little regard for himself or his opponent, and I'd go as far as saying he's out to injure.
Anderson looks up from the page.
(Jessica): I can assure you Dr Watkins that it is commonplace within wrestling for an individual to wish to hurt another. It's the nature of the sport. Everybody wants to win.
Dr Watkins shakes his head.
(Watkins): I think you misunderstand. Leon does not wish to win. His only goal is to cause pain. If you check the notes from my last encounter with him you'll see he says that himself. The tapes of his first two matches clearly show he's more focused on hurting his opponent than getting the victory. His win-loss record is a testament to that.
Jessica places the page on her desk.
(Jessica): So, what would you recommend then?
Dr Watkins hands over the second page, and closes the now-empty file.
(Watkins): Well, due to his nature he needs to continue with Code Red. Stopping him wrestling would cause him to find less-legal outlets for his anger and problems. As such, I'd recommend firstly that security is alerted and briefed on how to deal with Mr Corbin in an appropriate manner. Their chasing and retaining techniques might work on others, but with him would only cause more anger and put them at risk. Furthermore, it might be worth giving referees some extra guidance and training to deal with any issues within matches. The last thing I want is for one of your officials to be attacked or injured.
As he talks, Jessica taps notes into the computer.
(Watkins): And finally, it might be worth considering further, more advanced means to control and subdue his illness.
He glances sideways at the camera.
(Jessica): Oh.. I understand.
Anderson turns and waves for the cameraman to leave. He obliges, keeping the two in shot at all times. The door closes and we stay looking at it.
(Jessica): What do you have in mind?
We cut back to the announce booth at ringside.
(Eli): Wow. It seems Leon is worse than we first expected.
(Kelly): You can say that again. I wonder what these "more advanced" techniques are.
(Eli): Whatever they are, they're clearly sensitive and... Hold on... Up there..
The camera cuts to a shot aimed at the rafters of the Under Armor arena. A dark figure appears to be standing up on a walkway above the lighting rig. The zoom stops and the focus comes in, and very quickly we can make out that it's "The Dark Curse" himself. He notices the camera looking at him and disappears amongst the shadows.
(Kelly): Speak of the devil! Leon Corbin is in the rafters of the arena. Could it be that it was him we saw up there at Crucible?
(Eli): Quite possibly Kelly. I wonder why he's up there now?
(Kelly): Scouting future opposition maybe?... Whatever it is, he creeps me out. Can we move on?
(Eli): Sure… Lets get to our first match!
(Announcer): The following contest is our opening bout… first coming to the ring, Chris Titan!
“Gimmie Back my Bullets” by Lynard Skynyrd begins to play as a horn blares and from behind the video wall comes a restored 1972 Ford Grand Torino. Chris Titan revs the engine and honks the horn again before stepping out of the black beast and posing as pyro shoots out from the stage… Titan climbs into the ring to a chorus of boos as he adjusts the tape on his wrists and brushes the hair out of his face.
(Eli): Titan, the man who took Logan Neilson out of the game a few weeks ago, is here and ready to compete. When I talked to him earlier today about who his mystery opponent might be, he replied with a great answer… He said “No matter who steps through that curtain, after tonight they will only be known as another Chris Titan victim.”
(Kelly): Well, we’re about to find out if he’s right… With only two matches tonight, it leaves A LOT of options for a mystery opponent.
(Announcer): …and his opponent…
“Undead” by Hollywood Undead begins to play as the fans rise up in excitement. Suddenly fireworks erupt across the entrance stage and Kama Lama rushes down the entrance ramp, sliding into the ring!
(Announcer): From Pittsburgh, PA… KAMA LAMA!
(Eli): You’ve got to be kidding…
(Kelly): Kama Lama has returned to CRW! I can’t believe it!
(Eli): This little 5’nothing twerp thinks he can take on Chris Titan?!
Kama climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets the fans pumped up, but Chris Titan doesn’t wait for the bell as he runs across the ring and clubs Kama in the back with a big forearm. Kama doubles over and is quickly brought down from the top rope with a big belly to back suplex! The fans cheer for Kama to get into the fight as Titan brings him back up to his feet, tossing him into the ropes and going for a big clotheslines but Lama ducks and hits the ropes, springboarding with his “Light the Fuse” (Springboard round house kick) but Titan side steps the lethal kick, grabbing Kama by the back of the head/hair and slamming him to the mat hard!
(Eli): Well, the kid looks a little rusty too me.
Titan grounds the speedy Kama Lama and locks him in a reverse chin lock, but Lama fights out of it, hitting a nice pele’ kick to rock the bigger Titan. Kama hits the ropes and leaps with a crossbody, but Titan catches him and drops him into a backbreaker, followed by a picture perfect belly to belly suplex!
Titan covers him and the ref counts.
..1!
..2!
But Kama kicks out!
(Kelly): close call there for Kama, but Titan isn’t letting up E.
(Eli): Not in the slightest, this might be a long day for Mr. Lama… what the hell is with his name anyways? Is he a comma, or a llama?
Back in the ring, Titan has Lama lifted above his head in a military press, he taunts the fans as he presses Lama a few times, showing off his strength before dropping Kama into a shoulder mounted powerslam! The fans boo as Titan cockily lifts Kama up and then hits him hard with the “Turbo Shot” (spinning backfist) Lama is dazed as Titan gives a throat slash and goes for the kill, hitting the “Overdrive” (Cross Rhodes) he mercifully makes the cover and the ref counts.
…1!
…2!
…3!
The bell rings and Titan gets to his feet, a large grin on his face as he calls for a microphone…
(Titan): You just saw exactly why I am the next World Champion here in CRW. There isn’t a person in this company who can stop the gears that have been set in motion! I am in this business to win titles and to kick ass. You’ve seen me kick ass, I’ve whipped Logan Neilson, and I’ve punished Kama Lama here, next, I’m calling out-
Suddenly Titan is cut off as “Idols and Anchors” by Parkway Drive hits over the PA and the fans come to their feet like little girls at a Justin Bieber concert! The fans are going wild as Logan Neilson charges through the curtain and makes a bee line for the ring! Titan drops the mic and braces himself for a fight as Logan slides into the ring and quickly pops to his feet, taking Titan down with a tackle! The fans are chanting “LOGAN” constantly as the two men brawl on the mat. Fists fly left and right as officials quickly sprint down from the back in an effort to stop the madness, but Logan is rabid. Titan gets to his feet and gets a good left hand shot on Logan but the Fiery Scot simply smiles and headbutts the California king! As Titan rocks back, Logan jumps and hits the “M.I.A.” (Trouble in paradise) and drops Titan to the mat! The fans are beside themselves with joy as Logan picks up the mic as refs tend to Titan and keep Logan isolated.
(Logan): Aye ya big belland! I’ll be yer true test at Vendetta! Am Back and yer gon get yer arse handed too yae cause this time I’ll naw be in the middle of a match when ya try in fight back ya be pish!
The fans roar with approval as Logan climbs to the top rope with a cheeky smile!
(Kelly): Logan Neilson is back in the ring and it sounds like he’s got a match with Chris Titan at Vendetta Eli! Wow, what a night so far!
(Eli): Well Logan is back yes, but is he healthy?! He’s been banged up since last year and now he’s seemingly back and ready to go, but has he returned too soon?
(Kelly): I think Titan would tell you Logan’s 100%, that’s for sure.
(Eli): We’ll keep an eye on this situation for sure folks, but in the meantime, lets remind you all that CRW Will be presenting Vendetta on March 25th, LIVE for the first time from Raleigh, North Carolina in the RBC Center, We’ll see the main event featuring Michael Dredge defending his world title against Gravedigger in an Anarchy Rules match! Also, we’ll see Diego De La Vega defending his Apex Championship against Karl Sykes in what should be an emotionally charged match up!
(Kelly): Speaking of Diego and Sykes, lets take a quick look back to last week and what happened between Diego and Sykes…
…The flashback scene begins to play on the UATron…
Merlyn and Smokehouse get to the parking lot and get into a car and take off. Diego goes chasing after them, he grabs Bookman out his car and throws him to the ground , gets in the car and takes off but gets T-Boned by a beverage truck that sends the car on its side.
(Eli): oh my god…is Diego ok?!
The truck stops as the door opens and Sykes steps out
(Eli): KARL SYKES…
(Kelly): oh no…it was Sykes! Diego was set up! and Eddie is still inside tending to Comet, he has no idea what has just happened!
Sykes walks up to the car where Diego is out and bleeding, glass everywhere. EMT‘s and security are coming to help get Diego out of the car. Sykes smiles
(Bookman) get the hell out of here before the police come, What were you thinking Sykes, Dammit, we did not agree to this!
Sykes smirks, walks over and gets on his motorcycle and drives off.
(Bookman): Get the Ambulance. Come on hurry get him out he’s bleeding!
….The scene ends as the fans chant “ASS HOLE” and “GO DIEGO GO”…
(Kelly): Well folks, we know now that Diego de la Vega will be fine, he is still recovering from his injuries sustained by that hideous assault from Sykes, and he is not in the building tonight, but Diego himself has promised us and the fans that he will be ready to defend his Apex Championship.
(Eli): I’ve got to say, between Dredge and Sykes, the CRW is in a bad way. These men are going way too far and the men who are supposed to be controlling them, our boss Talon Wilkinson and the Apex Division manager jack Bookman have each seemingly lost control. Something has to be done before the CRW is shut down due to a major law suit!
(Kelly): I Couldn’t agree more Eli… We’ll be back folks, right after this.
We return from commercial and see that the ring is set up with a black mat and some Black leather chairs as Chris Mosh's music hits and he comes out smirking in a nice black with white pinstripes suit and matching fedora as he walks to the ring winking at the cute girls. He walks over to his fan club as he blows them all a kiss then walks to the other side of the ring as he goes up the stair and winks at Kelly Reyes
(Kelly): he is so disgusting
(Eli): Oh come on Kelly, you know you like him, I mean look at all the ladies here. They come to see him, but you need to be quite because Mosh has a mic in his hand
Chris Mosh sits in one of the chairs as he smirks and brings the Mic up to his lips
(Mosh): Ladies and everyone else who want to be like Chris Mosh Welcome to the Mosh Pit. The Show of all shows. The host of this show is the most talented, the only superstar of CRW, The face of CRW, and the Prettiest professional wrestler in the world The Pretty Boy Chris Mosh.
Chris Mosh give a smirk as the crowd is booing him
(Mosh): now I usually have a guest of two on my show but before I came out here I sat in the back thinking who should I have come out, who should be the first person I should interview. I sat and thought but nobody came to mind. I look at my messages to see who I was fighting tonight for face off and to my surprise I don't have a match.
Chris Mosh looks around…
(Mosh): I mean can you believe that, The face of CRW is not going to be on the card, so then another messages comes from the Board about the PPV Vendetta and I smirks. Good Talon is giving me time off so I can prepare for that and for the big match he had planned for me. Well I check that and well of course once again I was not on the card, so I called up my sister to get see if Talon would join my show and well everyone please welcome the Owner of the CRW Talon Wilkinson…
(Kelly): Talon’s coming out? I’m surprised…
"Face to the Floor" by Chevelle Hits as a Man dressed like Talon Wilkinson comes out and enters the ring then Chris Mosh smirks as they shake hands
(Eli): What is he doing here. He went from being great to disrespecting the boss. Does he want to get fired?
(Kelly): This is weird but Eli, I agree with you 100%. I mean I don't like Talon but Mosh is going too far here.
Chris Mosh smirks as The Fake Talon sits down.
(Mosh): now boss, can you tell me why I’m not on a card?
(Fake Talon): Well because with everything that has been going on this week, I didn't have time to put the greatest wrestler on the show plus we still have more people to put on the PPV Card.
(Mosh): Well yea, boss you’re so right. I mean I’m the greatest wrestler and prettiest wrestler ever and I know you can't find great wrestlers, but I mean look at all the losers in the back that I can fight. We have Legal, Leon, Diego, and ect. Just look at the list, so I demand you stand up and address these people as you put me in a match at Vendetta.
The Fake Talon Stands up and so does Chris Mosh as the Fake Talon looks at the Camera
(Fake Talon): Ladies and Gentlemen at Vendetta The Pretty Boy Chris Mosh will face...
Chris Mosh decks the Fake Talon, dropping him to the mat.
(Mosh): yo boss, shut up this is not your show this is mine and I do all the talking, so at Vendetta It will be the Pretty Boy Chris Mosh verse the Apexs Champion Deigo de Verga for his little title and no one is going to stop me from doing it. Now Thank you all for joining me for the Mosh Pit.
Chris Mosh throws the mic down at the Fake Talon on the ground as suddenly “Face to the Floor” by Chevelle begins to play, only this time the real owner of CRW, the Real Talon Wilkinson steps out from behind the curtain.
Talon walks down to the ring, microphone in hand.
(Talon): Mosh, I suggest you sit your ass back down in your cozy leather chair because we’re about to have a little chat…
(Eli): UH OH! The boss looks pissed!
Talon climbs into the ring and sits down across from Mosh, who looks irritated, and a little uneasy.
(Talon): Now before you say ANYTHING… let me tell you this little nugget of information… That title match I was giving you, well that all blew away when you refused to compete two nights ago against Jasmine Lee in your Proving Grounds match… You see, by beating her, you would have been placed in a match at the Pay Per View where you’d have had the chance to win a championship, but you blew that by not competing…
(Mosh): NO WAY! I told you I don’t fight women, it’s not my style!
Talon shakes his head and laughs.
(Talon): Yes, I know, but you also signed a CRW Contract, and that contract says you’ll face whoever the hell I tell you to!
The fans roar as Talon puts the Pretty Boy in his place.
(Talon): You see, Jasmine isn’t just a girl, she’s a F’N wrestler here in CRW, and I’m tired of YOU and EVERYONE ELSE leaving her out of the ring because “you don’t hit girls” well toughen the (EXPLITIVE) up!
(Kelly): WHOA! Talon has heard enough!
(Talon): You see, Jasmine Lee is capable of beating your sorry ass, just like she could have beat whoever didn’t have the balls to accept her open challenge last week on Face Off, but while you guys all did your “macho” thing in the back, she has been building up a lot of frustration, and I’m going to let you in on a little secret… She’s going to take it out on someone really soon, and if you keep acting like a little b*tch (FANS GO WILD) then you’ll be in a match with her, woman vs. woman…
Mosh stands up, completely livid with Talon’s comments!
(Mosh): Wait just a minute there boss! You promised me a title match! I want my title match!
Talon and Mosh go nose to nose, and it looks like things are about to explode…
(Talon): I told you, you’re out of the PPV title match, but I’ll tell you what… how about I do book you for a match at Vendetta, you’re going to fight against Justice Legal in a one on one match… If you win, I’ll change your contract and you won’t ever have to face a girl again, and hell I’ll even give you a title shot of your choice, whichever belt you want to challenge for… BUT if you lose, then the next time we are on Face Off, you’ve got to MAN UP and face Jasmine Lee in a one on one match… You can’t run, you can’t hide, because it’ll be a lumberjack match, to make sure you keep yourself in the ring…
Mosh looks furious as Talon smirks at him.
(Talon): …You have until Friday to make a decision, if you don’t accept the match, you’ll be suspended for 2 weeks without pay.
Talon drops the mic and pats Mosh on the shoulder as the fans cheer. Talon’s music hits and the Boss leaves the ring.
(Kelly): WOW, now that’s the Talon I remember!
(Eli): Talon gave Mosh the business just now, and I don’t think Mosh has recovered from the tongue lashing he took just seconds ago! Haha I love it!
The ring is cleared out as we return from commercial as William Draconis’s music begins to play as a black Chevy truck drives down the ramp and stops in front of the ring. William climbs from the driver side and stands on the hood of the truck and stands out looking out over the crowd as he listens as they chant his name.
(Draconis):” I believe that the fans deserve to have more champions that they can root for and I say that they deserve that. This is the reason that I have come out here to call out any champion to say that I deserve and these fans deserve to have a champion that will fight for them.”
The fans begin to roar louder and louder with Dragon shouts as he raises both arms as Dragon chants get louder.
(Draconis):” So let’s see who takes the challenge.”
Dragon stands in the ring awaiting a response when “Deeper Underground” by Jamiroquai hits and “the main event” Buddy Zent steps out onto the entrance stage.
(Zent): Who’s having a delicious day?!
The crowd responds with “WE ARE” as Zent smiles and removes his bright blue pastel jacket and tosses it aside before climbing into the ring.
(Zent): Willy, I see you aren’t having a delicious day? Well I’m sorry, but in case you haven’t heard, I am Buddy Zent… and I am THE Main Event!
(Draconis): I Know who you are Punk!
(Zent): Oh… well that is good! Actually that is GREAT! So if you know who I am, that means any idiot should know who I am! …Right fans?!
The fans again pop for Buddy as he continues.
(Zent): …Which is why I am here really. I wanted to know two things. First of all, why do you think YOU deserve a title opportunity when I am THE Main Event, and I am Undefeated here in CRW? …Next I want to know why anyone would book THE Main Event, Buddy Zent, to be on a B show like Proving Grounds and not book your brightest star for Face Off! That is ridiculous to waste such talent… I am not trying to sound like Chris Mosh, but I do want to know why I am not booked for the pay per view either.
Dragon snatches the mic from Zent and replies quickly.
(Draconis): SHUT UP YOU LITTLE FAIRY!
Zent looks at Draconis taken back as he mouths to him sarcastically … “Fairy?”
(Draconis): You haven’t proved a thing to anyone since you arrived here, I have been here, busting my ass since day 1 and I deserve something in return! So if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with me!
Draconis drops the mic as he and Zent go face to face when suddenly Ronnie McNeil’s music hits and he walks out onto the stage.
(McNeil): …Alright, you two chill out. In case you didn’t know, I am the one who set up the Proving Grounds matches… I wanted to see who would step up without knowledge of the prize at stake and you all are showing me right now that it was good idea. You see, Mosh pansy-ed out and no-showed me… Zent, you did well, but now you’re here complaining, and Draconis, you and Corbin fought to a draw… so now let me fill you in on what you were fighting for… I was seeing who had what it takes to work night in and night out to be the man people pay to see on TV… which is why you were on Proving Grounds competing for the right to be the first ever CRW Television Champion!
The fans burst into a cheer as the new TV title is shown on the UA Tron…
(McNeil): So at Vendetta… You boys both get your shot at the belt… In a triple threat match between The Main Event, Buddy Zent... William “The Dragon” Draconis, and “The Dark Curse” Leon Corbin!
The fans pop as a spotlight shines up to the ceiling were Leon is spotted before quickly darting back into the shadows of the rafters.
(Eli): Wow, what an announcement! Leon Corbin vs. Draconis vs. Buddy Zent in a triple threat match to crown the first CRW Television Champion! After all the chaos we’ve seen tonight, its nice to get some good news!
(Kelly): I can’t agree more Eli, this one will be a great fight to the finish!
Ronnie leaves the stage as Zent and Draconis stare each other down while the spotlight continues to search for Leon in the rafters.
(Kelly): Well folks it is about time for our main event of the evening, a tag team bout for the tag team championship.
(Eli): New Champions, Justice Legal and Gravedigger will be defending their newly won titles against Merlyn and The Predator Karl Sykes… and let me tell you guys this, I think sparks will fly toni…
(Kelly): Eli, I’ve just been told that we have an important message from Jack Bookman.
(Eli): Oh lovely…
The scene cuts to backstage were Jack Bookman sits at his desk inside of his office.
(Bookman): Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls… You are all here tonight to see your favorite wrestlers in action, and so far tonight, I think it’s safe to say you’ve seen your fair share of them, but right now I have to tell you all one thing. Tonight’s main event, the tag team title match, it will not be happening.
The fans boo as Jack continues.
(Bookman): You see, with Eddie Phoenix out of the building tonight and Diego resting up in the hospital, I decided that it was not fair, or good for business, for Karl and Merlyn to compete while their PPV opponents rested, no no… that’s not right at all. So I gave them the night off and they have already left the building. So instead, tonight’s main event will be cancelled…
Suddenly “DUALITY” by Slipknot hits the PA and Gravedigger and Justice Legal step out onto the entrance ramp.
(Kelly): It sounds like Digger and Legal have something to say about this!
(Legal): Hold it right there Jack! You want to protect your boys that’s fine, but not when these fans paid good money to see me and Gravedigger kick some ass!
(Gravedigger): …Bookman, you are a worm, a low life, just like Lou, just like Talon, and Just like DREDGE!
The fans explode as Digger continues.
(Gravedigger): You all run and hide behind your suits, your power, and your wealth. You claim to be tough, you claim to be brave, but when its time to fight, you run and hide like children… It must be a horrible thing to look yourself in the mirror at night. You see, people like Myself, people like Justice, people like Eddie, Diego, and even Draconis… the thing is we are the real people who make this company go. We are the fuel, the blood, the electricity that powers this machine. We make things go, and yet you fools believe that you are the ones who can control the ebb and flow… but it all comes crashing down in two weeks at Vendetta. You will see a new side of me when I take Dredge and crush his title reign in the palm of my hand. You will see the wave of the future as I walk out of the arena in Raleigh with the title around my waist. Jack, you’re trip ends when Diego defeats Sykes, and when Eddie crushes Merlyn. .. The world as you know it changes at Vendetta! It ALL comes to an end in just 14 days… March 25th…
The camera suddenly cuts across the arena where Talon stands in the owners suit… He stands up and a spotlight hits him as he talks.
(Talon): DIGGER… You talk a big game, but what will you say after Dredge ends your career like he did with Legacy just an hour ago!?
The camera looks back to Digger, and spots Michael Dredge sneaking up behind the big man as he and Legal look across the arena at Talon.
Suddenly, Dredge goes to attack but Gravedigger turns around and spots him! The two begin to brawl as Justice Legal looks on! Digger gets the best of Dredge at first, backing him up to the edge of the entrance stage, but Dredge fires back and hits a low blow on Gravedigger! Digger drops to his knees in pain as Dredge darts past him and backstage! Legal goes to give chase, but stops to check on Digger… The fans are going wild chanting “Grave-digg-er” as we fade to black to close the show with a shot of the Vendetta promo poster.

The scene opens outside of the arena as a long black limo arrives in the parking area. The fans wait to see who steps out, as the driver walks around and opens the door for the passengers. After a brief hesitation, the fans erupt with a singular “BOO” as Kevin Legacy, Michael Dredge, and Talon Wilkinson step out of the limo. None of the men look happy as they begin their trek into the arena. Talon adjusts his tie as he looks around, with Dredge carrying his world title as he sneers at the camera and looks over to Legacy who seems a bit off. As the group walks into the arena, the fans boos get louder. The trio marches through the halls as suddenly “Face to the Floor” by Chevelle begins to play over the PA and the fans know whats coming next. They all get quiet for a moment, and then again explode with a vengeful wave of boos as the owner, the world champion, and Legacy step through the curtain and head to the ring…
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kevin Legacy, CRW World Champion Michael Dredge, and CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson!
The fans show no respect as they let their hatred for the group be known.
(Kelly): Welcome to Face Off everyone, I’m Kelly Reyes here alongside the always outspoken Eli Brooks. We’ve skipped the flashy pyro show to start the night, and as you see the boss is out here, so this can’t be good.
Talon signals for a microphone as Dredge looks into the audience and simply gives them all a disgusted look.
(Talon): …Two weeks ago on Face Off, Gravedigger and Justice Legal won the upset of the century when they defeated Michael Dredge and Kevin Legacy to win the tag team championship.
The fans cheer and begin chanting “Digger” and “Legal” as Dredge begins to pace inside the ring and Legacy begins talking trash with the front row fans.
(Talon): This was nothing more than a fluke win and a travesty for the industry! Gravedigger did not start the match with his partner, instead he hammed up an injury and milked it so that he could come down to the ring at the last possible moment to steal a win from my champions… Gravedigger, you are nothing more than an ungrateful coward! I gave you money, I gave you a job, and I made you a star! I did all that. Without me, you’d be sputtering around in the dark, wresting for some joke world tour, and eating out of the trash cans outside of the venues you jobbed out to every week! You think that you are self made? Not a chance, you still have to invade Lou Manson’s air time to get any attention outside of the time we GIVE you on the air here on Face Off! You are a fabricated star, nothing more, and at Vendetta, I’m going to enjoy watching Michael Dredge extinguish your flame!
Talon hands the microphone to Michael Dredge, as Dredge begins to speak in a volatile tone.
(Dredge): ‘Digger! You think that you really did anything special in that tag match? I was picking Justice Legal apart, piece by piece, brick by brick, just like I said I would. I nearly snapped his arm on two occasions, and I could have, but where is the fun in that? I wanted him to suffer as long as possible, but then you had to try to ride in and be the hero?! Well let me tell you something Gravedigger… We may not be facing off in the house of mirrors match that I wanted, but we WILL be brawling in an Anarchy Rules Match! No disqualifications, No Count Outs, Pinfalls count anywhere! And let me tell you something Big Man. I will make you suffer. I will cut you, I will bleed your big ass until you cannot stand on your own two feet! …but talk is cheap. Let me show you exactly what I mean!
Suddenly, Dredge drops the mic and turns, lashing out and Kicking Kevin Legacy in the jaw with the “Swift Cuts!” (Sweet Chin Music) Legacy drops to the mat instantly as Dredge pounces on him and begins hammering away at him with a series of vicious MMA style Hammer Fists!
(Eli): What the hell?! Dredge has lost it!
(Kelly): Kevin Legacy is being assaulted by his own teammate, and the group’s leader, Talon Wilkinson is just watching… This was a set up!
(Eli): He was the one who was beat last week by Gravedigger and Legal, but wow…
Legacy is already bleeding as Dredge stops the assault of hammer fists. He rolls to his feet and grabs a handful of Legacy’s hair, dragging him up to his feet! The fans are booing Dredge as he drives a knee into the face of his partner and then falls back, locking in the Magnum Hair Trigger (MMA Armbar) Legacy screams in pain as Dredge quickly snaps the air, leaving the crowd stunned. Dredge releases the hold after the arm is snapped and picks Legacy up and tosses him over the top rope and down to the floor near the announcers table!
(Kelly): We need some security out here now!
(Eli): Dredge has gone to far, he has broken Legacy’s arm, this is bad… really bad.
(Kelly): Oh God, he’s coming over here… Hey! Stop That!
Dredge rips the announce table apart, throwing the headsets and monitors across the ringside area, silencing the announcers and clearing the path way. He then lifts Legacy back to his feet and sets him up for the “Jagged Edge” (Inverted Outsiders Edge) The fans watch on in horror and the announcers scramble as Dredge tosses Legacy face first through the announce table, including the chairs that are nearby! Legacy crashes through the debris and is left laying lifeless in a pool of his own blood with a broken arm… The fans are in disarray as Talon looks on with a sick smirk inside the ring. Dredge walks around the rubble and seems somewhat satisfied, but then he grabs a steel folding chair…
Talon gives him the nod, and Dredge grabs Legacy once again, lifting the dead weight up to his feet before drilling him with a nasty unprotected chair shot! Legacy crumples to the group and Dredge seemingly gets a sick glint in his eyes. He walks over to Legacy’s head, and opens the chair, sandwiching Legacy’s neck between the folding pieces of the chair! Dredge climbs up onto the ring apron and begins laughing maniacally as Talon looks on. Suddenly, Eli Brooks runs up and gets between Dredge and Legacy, Eli demands Dredge stops his attack, but Dredge simply kicks him in the face, sending him stumbling back and down on his ass! Kelly runs over to check on Eli, as Dredge jumps off of the apron and stomps the chair as the cameras cut to black. The fans scream in pure fear and horror as the audio feed continues but the video is gone. After a few moments we cut to commercial.
The scene opens up inside a rec center, and a guy on top of a ladder is seen changing a burnt out light bulb on a fixture above the exit door. The camera view slowly starts to move through the place, and two pool tables are seen in the center of the large room with a few people playing on each side. The view moves past them and a big screen TV is seen mounted on the wall in the background, and a replay of a past CRW Face Off show is being played. The view comes to a stop on a ping pong table near the television, where two guys are going back and forth with lightning speed, both sweating profusely as they each want to score the winning point. One of them finally scores the point, and he dances around and raises his hands celebrating then raises the ping pong paddle up to his mouth and yells into it like it was a microphone…
Guy#1: “And sill the CRW World Ping Pong Champion…..”
The other man is wiping sweat from his head as he tucks his paddle in his back pocket by the handle…
Guy#2 “Wow man…that was brutal!”
Suddenly, something comes crashing through the wall next to them and a huge blast of smoke fills the room. Both of the men fall to the ground and are covered with debris, and as they brush themselves off and look up they see Lucas Payne and Gravedigger standing there inside the hole, with a handful of other CRW superstars standing behind them…
Lucas: “You think that was brutal?”
Gravedigger: “We’ll show you brutal!”
The view zooms in on the two men and they both get “deer in headlights” looks on their faces as Lucas and Gravedigger’s arms are seen reaching down and pulling them up to their feet. The view then pans back out and a whole flock of CRW superstars are seen flooding into the room through the hole and they start beating everybody up. The view zooms in on the big television on the wall as it turns to static, then the picture flickers back on and Talon Wilkinson is seen on the screen standing with his arms crossed and a mean look on his face…
Talon: "You wanna get brutal right in the comfort of your own home? Well now you can! THQ and Code Red Wrestling present Face Off: The Video Game!”
Footage of the game starts to play on the TV, and Talon’s voice continues…
Talon: “With an all new grappling and submission system never before seen in any other wrestling game!” And a whole list of new features to compliment some classic ones that make up the most innovative wrestling game ever!”
He then starts to name off some of the game’s features as more gameplay is shown, outlining each category as he narrates…

Talon: "But don’t worry, just because we added all these new features doesn’t mean we forgot about the old ones!”
Talon’s voice continues as short clips of the CRW superstars are shown having their way with the occupants of the rec center…
Talon: "We still left in the classic’s like:”
LADDER MATCHES!
The guy changing the light bulb is just about to insert the new bulb into the socket when a hand is seen coming into the view and punches him in the stomach. The view then pans out and Diego de la Vega is shown on the opposite side of the ladder, and he grabs the light bulb out of the man’s hand just as he falls backward from the punch and onto a nearby pool table. Diego reaches up and screws in the light bulb until it lights up, then he leaps off the top of the ladder and lands on the guy on the pool table with a swanton bomb.
ANARCHY RULES MATCHES!
Michael Dredge is shown holding a wooden folding chair above his head, and he brings it down to crack somebody over the back with it. The man falls to the ground, and Michael looks at the unbroken chair with an impressed look on his face…
Michael: “Now that’s a good chair.”
TABLE MATCHES!
Eddie Phoenix is seen lifting a guy up, then he brings him down through the ping pong ball table with a suplex.
BAR ROOM BRAWLS!
William Draconis and Justice Legal are seen with pool sticks in their hands, and they both swing them at each other, but miss and instead crack two other people in their backs. The sticks both break in half and the men fall to the ground.
SUBMISSION MATCHES!
Chris Mosh is shown body slamming somebody onto the pool table and then Leon Corbin jumps up on the table and locks the guy into a sharpshooter.
AND THE EVER CLASSIC BATTLE ROYALS!
Buddy Zent and Logan Neilson are seen holding on to the ping pong player with the paddle in his back pocket, and they irish whip him towards Angelus Dante Ambrosi, who sends him into a back flip with a closeline.
Talon: “CRW presents Face Off: The Video Game! Only from THQ…and only for the Playstation 3!!”
The scene ends with Lucas Payne picking up the ping pong paddle lying on the floor next to the fallen player. He puts his foot on the fallen ping pong player’s chest and looks down at him with a cocky smile, then raises the paddle up to his mouth like it was a microphone…
Lucas: “Now THAT’S brutal!”
…The commercial ends and we return to Face Off, a new commentary booth has been set up at ringside, with a new announce table and new chairs as Kelly and Eli sit beside each other, each looking shocked. Eli has an ice pack held against his jaw as Kelly speaks in a somber tone.
(Kelly): Welcome back everyone, during the commercial break, Kevin Legacy was taken out of the arena on a stretcher and taken to a nearby medical facility… Folks, we apologize for the horrible images that were aired just moments ago, this is not CRW, this is the action of a mad man… Michael Dredge must be stopped.
(Eli): …that son of a bitch thinks its ok to strike a commentator?! …I hope Gravedigger buries his ass at Vendetta!
(Kelly): Well, we are going to try to move on now, we only have two matches tonight, but we have been told that there could be a few surprises as well…
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena begins to glow with red lights as “Bloodline” by Slayer plays through the PA system, and smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the entire ramp.
(Announcer): “Ladies and gentleman….please welcome to the ring…."The Sandman" Lucas Payne!”
(Kelly): …well, speaking of surprises… Here comes the Sandman.
(Eli): I wish he was booked tonight, I love watching this big man compete!
(Kelly): Well, he is scheduled to compete in a triple threat match with the winner getting the next shot at the CRW world title, so it’s a big match coming up for Lucas.
(Eli): He’s got a tough road to travel though… Angelus Ambrosi and Black Death, neither are slouches.
The arena fills with boos, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke, and his new manager Ashley Synn is seen walking behind him. The pair head down the aisle and to the ring, then Lucas climbs in over the top rope, and pounds his chest with his fists before raising both arms in the air. Ashley climbs in after him, and he lowers his arms and takes the mic from the ring announcer his music stops playing. The fans boo again as he looks around with a smile on his face, then he slowly raises the mic to his mouth and waits for them to quiet.
(Lucas): “Unfortunately for you fans, I wasn’t booked to compete on Face Off tonight.”
More boos fill the arena and Lucas nods his head, appearing to be mocking the fans…
(Lucas): “I know, I know….it’s a travesty. How can you hold a CRW event and forget to book the most entertaining superstar in the CRW? Well fortunately for you fans, I was in the neighborhood and I decided to grace you with my presence anyway. So…you’re welcome.”
Lucas takes a bow, and the fans boo even more. He glances over at his new manager Ashley and flashes her an evil smile, sensing that she doesn’t quite know yet what to think about the booing fans. He waits for the fans to quiet down, and then he continues on.
(Lucas): “Alright, alright…you got me. I think everybody in this building knows that I wouldn’t be standing out here in this ring if there wasn’t some ulterior motives behind it, so I’ll just get right to it. First off, I’d like to introduce the lovely lady standing next to me. Her name is Miss Ashley Synn, and she will be my manager here in the CRW.”
The fans give a mixed reaction, and Ashley smiles and waves to them. Lucas glances at her with an annoyed look on his face, then he continues.
(Lucas): “As you can see, Ashley has yet to learn the ways of you obnoxious fans, but in any case, there she is ladies and gentleman. Now on to the main order of business….my match at Vendetta.”
The fans’ boos turn to cheers when Lucas mentions Vendetta.
(Lucas): “At Vendetta, I’m set to face Black Death and Angelus Dante Ambrosi in a triple threat match to determine a number one contender for the CRW World Heavyweight Championship.”
Lucas gets another mixed reaction from the crowd.
(Lucas): “Finally, after all the beatings I have handed out since walking through those doors and into this company, I am getting the chance to break away from the pack and climb up to that top tier of the CRW. I was already the most devastating Anarchy Champion this company has ever seen, laying to rest more contenders than anybody who’s held that title before it was deemed inactive, so it’s just natural that I take the next step, and claim my spot as the CRW World Heavyweight Champion!”
The crowd boos again, and Lucas lowers the mic and takes it all in with an evil smile. He looks around and waits for them to quiet down, then raises the mic up to his mouth once again.
(Lucas): “I know it won’t be easy, because standing in my path are two other superstars who are going to claim that they’re just as eager as I am to wear that world title strap. Angelus Dante Ambrosi, we’ve passed each other in the hallway backstage, but until now our paths have never crossed inside the ring. Well that all finally changes at Vendetta. Me and you Angelus, we’re both former champions on a hot streak, so it was only a matter of time before we found ourselves breaking into the world title scene. You’ve got a good thing going for you Angelus, you and your little group of bodyguards beating up all your opponents, but that’s not going to be good enough to get you past the Sandman.”
He pauses as he gets yet another mixed reaction from the crowd.
(Lucas): “I have fought tooth and nail, clawing my way towards the top using superstar after superstar as stepping stones for one purpose, and one purpose only…..to become the CRW World Heavyweight Champion. That opportunity is finally within my grasp, and there is no way in hell I’m letting anybody stand in my way…not you Angelus, and certainly not Black Death.”
Lucas gets a smile on his face as he mentions Black Death’s name.
(Lucas): “Black Death, the odd man out of this whole picture. Whether you know it or not Black Death, you are a very lucky man. We both know that on paper, you have no business being in a number one contender match. But I seem to remember you overcoming both Angelus Dante Ambrosi and his partner Poe Alexander Covinus on the New Year’s edition of Face Off, and if there’s one thing I can’t help but to show respect for, it’s somebody who takes care of business no matter what the odds are. So that big man, is more than enough to warrant my respect as a true contender in this match.”
Lucas nods his approval as he remembers watching the Black Death versus Poe Alexander Covinus match and its outcome…
(Lucas): “But make no mistake Black Death, I am coming for blood at Vendetta and you won’t make out quite so well this time. At Crucible, I watched your career hang in the balance as Karl Sykes battered you over and over with that steel chair. You barely walked away from that assault, and that will seem like mere horseplay compared to what I’m ready to go through in order to leave our match with that title shot. So regardless if any of us thinks you deserve this opportunity Black Death, it’s you who better look deep down and figure out if you’re ready to step into the big leagues and move up to that next level. I’m more than ready; I can promise you that! I have been waiting for this day to come since signing my name on the bottom of my CRW contract. I will leave Vendetta as the number one contender for the CRW World Heavyweight Championship, and you although you will still leave as better wrestler Black Death, you will still be leaving a loser.”
The fans boo again, and Lucas shakes his head…
(Lucas): “Boo all you want, but it changes nothing….you people are looking at the next CRW World Heavyweight Champion. When that bell rings to signal the beginning of our triple threat match at Vendetta, all hell is going to break loose right here in this very ring. But until that time, I will do everything in my power to ensure that these next couple of weeks leading to Vendetta are the two longest weeks of both ADA and Black Death’s miserable lives. I will get inside their heads, I will break them both down mentally piece by piece, and by the time each of them walk out to that ring to face me at Vendetta, they will both already be defeated men.”
The fans give Lucas some more heat, and he pauses again and flashes a cocky looking smile. Ashley looks on from the opposite side of the ring, and he continues.
(Lucas): “Angelus Dante Ambrosi and Black Death….the lines have been drawn for Vendetta boys, and it is me who has taken the first strike. Prepare yourselves gentleman, because the Sandman is coming for you both!”
“Bloodline” by Slayer plays through the PA system again, and Lucas tosses the mic to the mat. He raises both arms in the air and poses to taunt the booing crowd, then he exits the ring with Ashley by his side and walks to the backstage.
(Eli): …After hearing what he had to say, I am convinced that he might be the next #1 Contender…
(Kelly): Especially since A.D.A. will be working double duty at Vendetta, also taking on Freddie Styles.
(Eli): That’s right, I Forgot about that! Whoa, Lucas Payne, get your dancin’ shoes ready!
We cut to the door of Jessica Anderson's office, as shown by the nameplate. A tall, middle aged male walks into shot and knocks on the door.
(Kelly): That's Dr Steve Watkins! He's been brought in by management to provide therapy and analysis on Leon Corbin. I wonder why he's here?
(Eli): Well, I'm sure we're about to find out.
He opens the door and enters. Jessica is sat behind the desk typing away, but looks up upon the door opening.
(Jessica): You must be Doctor Watkins. Jessica Anderson, General Manager of Code Red Wrestling. So good to meet you.
The camera cuts to inside the office, the camera being positioned at the end of Anderson's desk. She extends a hand, and it's met by Dr Watkins' hand. The two exchange a short shake.
(Watkins): Please, call me Steve.
The two part hands, and Jessica gestures towards the chair next to Dr Watkins.
(Jessica): Take a seat.
Both sit, the folder in Watkins' hand being placed onto his lap.
(Jessica): I'm told you're here to update me on your findings with Leon?
Dr Watkins nods, and places the file on the desk. Opening it he offers the first page to Anderson, and begins to talk as she reads.
(Watkins): Indeed. I believe that Mr Corbin has multiple mental illnesses that cause him to have an unstable personality. Most obviously he suffers some sort of psychosis, which I believe to be schizophrenia, however his abrupt exit from our last meeting has made it difficult to diagnose properly. That is paired with some sort of social issues, likely to be anti-social personality disorder.
Jessica gives a nod of understanding.
(Jessica): And do you believe this makes him dangerous?
(Watkins): Highly. Leon is a highly unpredictable individual. His volatile nature could lead to him doing anything. From his in-ring style I'd say he has little regard for himself or his opponent, and I'd go as far as saying he's out to injure.
Anderson looks up from the page.
(Jessica): I can assure you Dr Watkins that it is commonplace within wrestling for an individual to wish to hurt another. It's the nature of the sport. Everybody wants to win.
Dr Watkins shakes his head.
(Watkins): I think you misunderstand. Leon does not wish to win. His only goal is to cause pain. If you check the notes from my last encounter with him you'll see he says that himself. The tapes of his first two matches clearly show he's more focused on hurting his opponent than getting the victory. His win-loss record is a testament to that.
Jessica places the page on her desk.
(Jessica): So, what would you recommend then?
Dr Watkins hands over the second page, and closes the now-empty file.
(Watkins): Well, due to his nature he needs to continue with Code Red. Stopping him wrestling would cause him to find less-legal outlets for his anger and problems. As such, I'd recommend firstly that security is alerted and briefed on how to deal with Mr Corbin in an appropriate manner. Their chasing and retaining techniques might work on others, but with him would only cause more anger and put them at risk. Furthermore, it might be worth giving referees some extra guidance and training to deal with any issues within matches. The last thing I want is for one of your officials to be attacked or injured.
As he talks, Jessica taps notes into the computer.
(Watkins): And finally, it might be worth considering further, more advanced means to control and subdue his illness.
He glances sideways at the camera.
(Jessica): Oh.. I understand.
Anderson turns and waves for the cameraman to leave. He obliges, keeping the two in shot at all times. The door closes and we stay looking at it.
(Jessica): What do you have in mind?
We cut back to the announce booth at ringside.
(Eli): Wow. It seems Leon is worse than we first expected.
(Kelly): You can say that again. I wonder what these "more advanced" techniques are.
(Eli): Whatever they are, they're clearly sensitive and... Hold on... Up there..
The camera cuts to a shot aimed at the rafters of the Under Armor arena. A dark figure appears to be standing up on a walkway above the lighting rig. The zoom stops and the focus comes in, and very quickly we can make out that it's "The Dark Curse" himself. He notices the camera looking at him and disappears amongst the shadows.
(Kelly): Speak of the devil! Leon Corbin is in the rafters of the arena. Could it be that it was him we saw up there at Crucible?
(Eli): Quite possibly Kelly. I wonder why he's up there now?
(Kelly): Scouting future opposition maybe?... Whatever it is, he creeps me out. Can we move on?
(Eli): Sure… Lets get to our first match!
(Announcer): The following contest is our opening bout… first coming to the ring, Chris Titan!
“Gimmie Back my Bullets” by Lynard Skynyrd begins to play as a horn blares and from behind the video wall comes a restored 1972 Ford Grand Torino. Chris Titan revs the engine and honks the horn again before stepping out of the black beast and posing as pyro shoots out from the stage… Titan climbs into the ring to a chorus of boos as he adjusts the tape on his wrists and brushes the hair out of his face.
(Eli): Titan, the man who took Logan Neilson out of the game a few weeks ago, is here and ready to compete. When I talked to him earlier today about who his mystery opponent might be, he replied with a great answer… He said “No matter who steps through that curtain, after tonight they will only be known as another Chris Titan victim.”
(Kelly): Well, we’re about to find out if he’s right… With only two matches tonight, it leaves A LOT of options for a mystery opponent.
(Announcer): …and his opponent…
“Undead” by Hollywood Undead begins to play as the fans rise up in excitement. Suddenly fireworks erupt across the entrance stage and Kama Lama rushes down the entrance ramp, sliding into the ring!
(Announcer): From Pittsburgh, PA… KAMA LAMA!
(Eli): You’ve got to be kidding…
(Kelly): Kama Lama has returned to CRW! I can’t believe it!
(Eli): This little 5’nothing twerp thinks he can take on Chris Titan?!
Kama climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets the fans pumped up, but Chris Titan doesn’t wait for the bell as he runs across the ring and clubs Kama in the back with a big forearm. Kama doubles over and is quickly brought down from the top rope with a big belly to back suplex! The fans cheer for Kama to get into the fight as Titan brings him back up to his feet, tossing him into the ropes and going for a big clotheslines but Lama ducks and hits the ropes, springboarding with his “Light the Fuse” (Springboard round house kick) but Titan side steps the lethal kick, grabbing Kama by the back of the head/hair and slamming him to the mat hard!
(Eli): Well, the kid looks a little rusty too me.
Titan grounds the speedy Kama Lama and locks him in a reverse chin lock, but Lama fights out of it, hitting a nice pele’ kick to rock the bigger Titan. Kama hits the ropes and leaps with a crossbody, but Titan catches him and drops him into a backbreaker, followed by a picture perfect belly to belly suplex!
Titan covers him and the ref counts.
..1!
..2!
But Kama kicks out!
(Kelly): close call there for Kama, but Titan isn’t letting up E.
(Eli): Not in the slightest, this might be a long day for Mr. Lama… what the hell is with his name anyways? Is he a comma, or a llama?
Back in the ring, Titan has Lama lifted above his head in a military press, he taunts the fans as he presses Lama a few times, showing off his strength before dropping Kama into a shoulder mounted powerslam! The fans boo as Titan cockily lifts Kama up and then hits him hard with the “Turbo Shot” (spinning backfist) Lama is dazed as Titan gives a throat slash and goes for the kill, hitting the “Overdrive” (Cross Rhodes) he mercifully makes the cover and the ref counts.
…1!
…2!
…3!
The bell rings and Titan gets to his feet, a large grin on his face as he calls for a microphone…
(Titan): You just saw exactly why I am the next World Champion here in CRW. There isn’t a person in this company who can stop the gears that have been set in motion! I am in this business to win titles and to kick ass. You’ve seen me kick ass, I’ve whipped Logan Neilson, and I’ve punished Kama Lama here, next, I’m calling out-
Suddenly Titan is cut off as “Idols and Anchors” by Parkway Drive hits over the PA and the fans come to their feet like little girls at a Justin Bieber concert! The fans are going wild as Logan Neilson charges through the curtain and makes a bee line for the ring! Titan drops the mic and braces himself for a fight as Logan slides into the ring and quickly pops to his feet, taking Titan down with a tackle! The fans are chanting “LOGAN” constantly as the two men brawl on the mat. Fists fly left and right as officials quickly sprint down from the back in an effort to stop the madness, but Logan is rabid. Titan gets to his feet and gets a good left hand shot on Logan but the Fiery Scot simply smiles and headbutts the California king! As Titan rocks back, Logan jumps and hits the “M.I.A.” (Trouble in paradise) and drops Titan to the mat! The fans are beside themselves with joy as Logan picks up the mic as refs tend to Titan and keep Logan isolated.
(Logan): Aye ya big belland! I’ll be yer true test at Vendetta! Am Back and yer gon get yer arse handed too yae cause this time I’ll naw be in the middle of a match when ya try in fight back ya be pish!
The fans roar with approval as Logan climbs to the top rope with a cheeky smile!
(Kelly): Logan Neilson is back in the ring and it sounds like he’s got a match with Chris Titan at Vendetta Eli! Wow, what a night so far!
(Eli): Well Logan is back yes, but is he healthy?! He’s been banged up since last year and now he’s seemingly back and ready to go, but has he returned too soon?
(Kelly): I think Titan would tell you Logan’s 100%, that’s for sure.
(Eli): We’ll keep an eye on this situation for sure folks, but in the meantime, lets remind you all that CRW Will be presenting Vendetta on March 25th, LIVE for the first time from Raleigh, North Carolina in the RBC Center, We’ll see the main event featuring Michael Dredge defending his world title against Gravedigger in an Anarchy Rules match! Also, we’ll see Diego De La Vega defending his Apex Championship against Karl Sykes in what should be an emotionally charged match up!
(Kelly): Speaking of Diego and Sykes, lets take a quick look back to last week and what happened between Diego and Sykes…
…The flashback scene begins to play on the UATron…
Merlyn and Smokehouse get to the parking lot and get into a car and take off. Diego goes chasing after them, he grabs Bookman out his car and throws him to the ground , gets in the car and takes off but gets T-Boned by a beverage truck that sends the car on its side.
(Eli): oh my god…is Diego ok?!
The truck stops as the door opens and Sykes steps out
(Eli): KARL SYKES…
(Kelly): oh no…it was Sykes! Diego was set up! and Eddie is still inside tending to Comet, he has no idea what has just happened!
Sykes walks up to the car where Diego is out and bleeding, glass everywhere. EMT‘s and security are coming to help get Diego out of the car. Sykes smiles
(Bookman) get the hell out of here before the police come, What were you thinking Sykes, Dammit, we did not agree to this!
Sykes smirks, walks over and gets on his motorcycle and drives off.
(Bookman): Get the Ambulance. Come on hurry get him out he’s bleeding!
….The scene ends as the fans chant “ASS HOLE” and “GO DIEGO GO”…
(Kelly): Well folks, we know now that Diego de la Vega will be fine, he is still recovering from his injuries sustained by that hideous assault from Sykes, and he is not in the building tonight, but Diego himself has promised us and the fans that he will be ready to defend his Apex Championship.
(Eli): I’ve got to say, between Dredge and Sykes, the CRW is in a bad way. These men are going way too far and the men who are supposed to be controlling them, our boss Talon Wilkinson and the Apex Division manager jack Bookman have each seemingly lost control. Something has to be done before the CRW is shut down due to a major law suit!
(Kelly): I Couldn’t agree more Eli… We’ll be back folks, right after this.
We return from commercial and see that the ring is set up with a black mat and some Black leather chairs as Chris Mosh's music hits and he comes out smirking in a nice black with white pinstripes suit and matching fedora as he walks to the ring winking at the cute girls. He walks over to his fan club as he blows them all a kiss then walks to the other side of the ring as he goes up the stair and winks at Kelly Reyes
(Kelly): he is so disgusting
(Eli): Oh come on Kelly, you know you like him, I mean look at all the ladies here. They come to see him, but you need to be quite because Mosh has a mic in his hand
Chris Mosh sits in one of the chairs as he smirks and brings the Mic up to his lips
(Mosh): Ladies and everyone else who want to be like Chris Mosh Welcome to the Mosh Pit. The Show of all shows. The host of this show is the most talented, the only superstar of CRW, The face of CRW, and the Prettiest professional wrestler in the world The Pretty Boy Chris Mosh.
Chris Mosh give a smirk as the crowd is booing him
(Mosh): now I usually have a guest of two on my show but before I came out here I sat in the back thinking who should I have come out, who should be the first person I should interview. I sat and thought but nobody came to mind. I look at my messages to see who I was fighting tonight for face off and to my surprise I don't have a match.
Chris Mosh looks around…
(Mosh): I mean can you believe that, The face of CRW is not going to be on the card, so then another messages comes from the Board about the PPV Vendetta and I smirks. Good Talon is giving me time off so I can prepare for that and for the big match he had planned for me. Well I check that and well of course once again I was not on the card, so I called up my sister to get see if Talon would join my show and well everyone please welcome the Owner of the CRW Talon Wilkinson…
(Kelly): Talon’s coming out? I’m surprised…
"Face to the Floor" by Chevelle Hits as a Man dressed like Talon Wilkinson comes out and enters the ring then Chris Mosh smirks as they shake hands
(Eli): What is he doing here. He went from being great to disrespecting the boss. Does he want to get fired?
(Kelly): This is weird but Eli, I agree with you 100%. I mean I don't like Talon but Mosh is going too far here.
Chris Mosh smirks as The Fake Talon sits down.
(Mosh): now boss, can you tell me why I’m not on a card?
(Fake Talon): Well because with everything that has been going on this week, I didn't have time to put the greatest wrestler on the show plus we still have more people to put on the PPV Card.
(Mosh): Well yea, boss you’re so right. I mean I’m the greatest wrestler and prettiest wrestler ever and I know you can't find great wrestlers, but I mean look at all the losers in the back that I can fight. We have Legal, Leon, Diego, and ect. Just look at the list, so I demand you stand up and address these people as you put me in a match at Vendetta.
The Fake Talon Stands up and so does Chris Mosh as the Fake Talon looks at the Camera
(Fake Talon): Ladies and Gentlemen at Vendetta The Pretty Boy Chris Mosh will face...
Chris Mosh decks the Fake Talon, dropping him to the mat.
(Mosh): yo boss, shut up this is not your show this is mine and I do all the talking, so at Vendetta It will be the Pretty Boy Chris Mosh verse the Apexs Champion Deigo de Verga for his little title and no one is going to stop me from doing it. Now Thank you all for joining me for the Mosh Pit.
Chris Mosh throws the mic down at the Fake Talon on the ground as suddenly “Face to the Floor” by Chevelle begins to play, only this time the real owner of CRW, the Real Talon Wilkinson steps out from behind the curtain.
Talon walks down to the ring, microphone in hand.
(Talon): Mosh, I suggest you sit your ass back down in your cozy leather chair because we’re about to have a little chat…
(Eli): UH OH! The boss looks pissed!
Talon climbs into the ring and sits down across from Mosh, who looks irritated, and a little uneasy.
(Talon): Now before you say ANYTHING… let me tell you this little nugget of information… That title match I was giving you, well that all blew away when you refused to compete two nights ago against Jasmine Lee in your Proving Grounds match… You see, by beating her, you would have been placed in a match at the Pay Per View where you’d have had the chance to win a championship, but you blew that by not competing…
(Mosh): NO WAY! I told you I don’t fight women, it’s not my style!
Talon shakes his head and laughs.
(Talon): Yes, I know, but you also signed a CRW Contract, and that contract says you’ll face whoever the hell I tell you to!
The fans roar as Talon puts the Pretty Boy in his place.
(Talon): You see, Jasmine isn’t just a girl, she’s a F’N wrestler here in CRW, and I’m tired of YOU and EVERYONE ELSE leaving her out of the ring because “you don’t hit girls” well toughen the (EXPLITIVE) up!
(Kelly): WHOA! Talon has heard enough!
(Talon): You see, Jasmine Lee is capable of beating your sorry ass, just like she could have beat whoever didn’t have the balls to accept her open challenge last week on Face Off, but while you guys all did your “macho” thing in the back, she has been building up a lot of frustration, and I’m going to let you in on a little secret… She’s going to take it out on someone really soon, and if you keep acting like a little b*tch (FANS GO WILD) then you’ll be in a match with her, woman vs. woman…
Mosh stands up, completely livid with Talon’s comments!
(Mosh): Wait just a minute there boss! You promised me a title match! I want my title match!
Talon and Mosh go nose to nose, and it looks like things are about to explode…
(Talon): I told you, you’re out of the PPV title match, but I’ll tell you what… how about I do book you for a match at Vendetta, you’re going to fight against Justice Legal in a one on one match… If you win, I’ll change your contract and you won’t ever have to face a girl again, and hell I’ll even give you a title shot of your choice, whichever belt you want to challenge for… BUT if you lose, then the next time we are on Face Off, you’ve got to MAN UP and face Jasmine Lee in a one on one match… You can’t run, you can’t hide, because it’ll be a lumberjack match, to make sure you keep yourself in the ring…
Mosh looks furious as Talon smirks at him.
(Talon): …You have until Friday to make a decision, if you don’t accept the match, you’ll be suspended for 2 weeks without pay.
Talon drops the mic and pats Mosh on the shoulder as the fans cheer. Talon’s music hits and the Boss leaves the ring.
(Kelly): WOW, now that’s the Talon I remember!
(Eli): Talon gave Mosh the business just now, and I don’t think Mosh has recovered from the tongue lashing he took just seconds ago! Haha I love it!
The ring is cleared out as we return from commercial as William Draconis’s music begins to play as a black Chevy truck drives down the ramp and stops in front of the ring. William climbs from the driver side and stands on the hood of the truck and stands out looking out over the crowd as he listens as they chant his name.
(Draconis):” I believe that the fans deserve to have more champions that they can root for and I say that they deserve that. This is the reason that I have come out here to call out any champion to say that I deserve and these fans deserve to have a champion that will fight for them.”
The fans begin to roar louder and louder with Dragon shouts as he raises both arms as Dragon chants get louder.
(Draconis):” So let’s see who takes the challenge.”
Dragon stands in the ring awaiting a response when “Deeper Underground” by Jamiroquai hits and “the main event” Buddy Zent steps out onto the entrance stage.
(Zent): Who’s having a delicious day?!
The crowd responds with “WE ARE” as Zent smiles and removes his bright blue pastel jacket and tosses it aside before climbing into the ring.
(Zent): Willy, I see you aren’t having a delicious day? Well I’m sorry, but in case you haven’t heard, I am Buddy Zent… and I am THE Main Event!
(Draconis): I Know who you are Punk!
(Zent): Oh… well that is good! Actually that is GREAT! So if you know who I am, that means any idiot should know who I am! …Right fans?!
The fans again pop for Buddy as he continues.
(Zent): …Which is why I am here really. I wanted to know two things. First of all, why do you think YOU deserve a title opportunity when I am THE Main Event, and I am Undefeated here in CRW? …Next I want to know why anyone would book THE Main Event, Buddy Zent, to be on a B show like Proving Grounds and not book your brightest star for Face Off! That is ridiculous to waste such talent… I am not trying to sound like Chris Mosh, but I do want to know why I am not booked for the pay per view either.
Dragon snatches the mic from Zent and replies quickly.
(Draconis): SHUT UP YOU LITTLE FAIRY!
Zent looks at Draconis taken back as he mouths to him sarcastically … “Fairy?”
(Draconis): You haven’t proved a thing to anyone since you arrived here, I have been here, busting my ass since day 1 and I deserve something in return! So if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with me!
Draconis drops the mic as he and Zent go face to face when suddenly Ronnie McNeil’s music hits and he walks out onto the stage.
(McNeil): …Alright, you two chill out. In case you didn’t know, I am the one who set up the Proving Grounds matches… I wanted to see who would step up without knowledge of the prize at stake and you all are showing me right now that it was good idea. You see, Mosh pansy-ed out and no-showed me… Zent, you did well, but now you’re here complaining, and Draconis, you and Corbin fought to a draw… so now let me fill you in on what you were fighting for… I was seeing who had what it takes to work night in and night out to be the man people pay to see on TV… which is why you were on Proving Grounds competing for the right to be the first ever CRW Television Champion!
The fans burst into a cheer as the new TV title is shown on the UA Tron…
(McNeil): So at Vendetta… You boys both get your shot at the belt… In a triple threat match between The Main Event, Buddy Zent... William “The Dragon” Draconis, and “The Dark Curse” Leon Corbin!
The fans pop as a spotlight shines up to the ceiling were Leon is spotted before quickly darting back into the shadows of the rafters.
(Eli): Wow, what an announcement! Leon Corbin vs. Draconis vs. Buddy Zent in a triple threat match to crown the first CRW Television Champion! After all the chaos we’ve seen tonight, its nice to get some good news!
(Kelly): I can’t agree more Eli, this one will be a great fight to the finish!
Ronnie leaves the stage as Zent and Draconis stare each other down while the spotlight continues to search for Leon in the rafters.
(Kelly): Well folks it is about time for our main event of the evening, a tag team bout for the tag team championship.
(Eli): New Champions, Justice Legal and Gravedigger will be defending their newly won titles against Merlyn and The Predator Karl Sykes… and let me tell you guys this, I think sparks will fly toni…
(Kelly): Eli, I’ve just been told that we have an important message from Jack Bookman.
(Eli): Oh lovely…
The scene cuts to backstage were Jack Bookman sits at his desk inside of his office.
(Bookman): Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls… You are all here tonight to see your favorite wrestlers in action, and so far tonight, I think it’s safe to say you’ve seen your fair share of them, but right now I have to tell you all one thing. Tonight’s main event, the tag team title match, it will not be happening.
The fans boo as Jack continues.
(Bookman): You see, with Eddie Phoenix out of the building tonight and Diego resting up in the hospital, I decided that it was not fair, or good for business, for Karl and Merlyn to compete while their PPV opponents rested, no no… that’s not right at all. So I gave them the night off and they have already left the building. So instead, tonight’s main event will be cancelled…
Suddenly “DUALITY” by Slipknot hits the PA and Gravedigger and Justice Legal step out onto the entrance ramp.
(Kelly): It sounds like Digger and Legal have something to say about this!
(Legal): Hold it right there Jack! You want to protect your boys that’s fine, but not when these fans paid good money to see me and Gravedigger kick some ass!
(Gravedigger): …Bookman, you are a worm, a low life, just like Lou, just like Talon, and Just like DREDGE!
The fans explode as Digger continues.
(Gravedigger): You all run and hide behind your suits, your power, and your wealth. You claim to be tough, you claim to be brave, but when its time to fight, you run and hide like children… It must be a horrible thing to look yourself in the mirror at night. You see, people like Myself, people like Justice, people like Eddie, Diego, and even Draconis… the thing is we are the real people who make this company go. We are the fuel, the blood, the electricity that powers this machine. We make things go, and yet you fools believe that you are the ones who can control the ebb and flow… but it all comes crashing down in two weeks at Vendetta. You will see a new side of me when I take Dredge and crush his title reign in the palm of my hand. You will see the wave of the future as I walk out of the arena in Raleigh with the title around my waist. Jack, you’re trip ends when Diego defeats Sykes, and when Eddie crushes Merlyn. .. The world as you know it changes at Vendetta! It ALL comes to an end in just 14 days… March 25th…
The camera suddenly cuts across the arena where Talon stands in the owners suit… He stands up and a spotlight hits him as he talks.
(Talon): DIGGER… You talk a big game, but what will you say after Dredge ends your career like he did with Legacy just an hour ago!?
The camera looks back to Digger, and spots Michael Dredge sneaking up behind the big man as he and Legal look across the arena at Talon.
Suddenly, Dredge goes to attack but Gravedigger turns around and spots him! The two begin to brawl as Justice Legal looks on! Digger gets the best of Dredge at first, backing him up to the edge of the entrance stage, but Dredge fires back and hits a low blow on Gravedigger! Digger drops to his knees in pain as Dredge darts past him and backstage! Legal goes to give chase, but stops to check on Digger… The fans are going wild chanting “Grave-digg-er” as we fade to black to close the show with a shot of the Vendetta promo poster.
