Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc.
…and Massif Mountain Gear and Atlanco
Live from Bronx, New York
(Earlier in the day…)
The scene opens backstage and we find one-half of the Tag team champions Kevin Legacy at the catering table getting something to eat. He picks threw and finds a Twinkie and a Mountain Dew and smiles
(Legacy): Jackpot!
Dredge walks up in his wrestling gear, his world title around his waist and his black gloved hand balled in a fist.
(Dredge): Gravedigger needs to be put on a tight leash tonight Kev, and I want you to make sure he does what he's supposed to with no fuck ups of any sort.
Kevin turns around with half the Twinkie in his mouth. He eats it and takes a drink of Mountain Dew before talking.
(Legacy): What he does is his business Michael, I'm his tag team partner not his keeper. Besides, where is that manager of his? I thought he'd be kicked off the campaign by now.
Dredge suddenly lashes out with frustration as he slaps the mountain dew out of Kevin's hand as he raises his voice.
(Dredge): You do what I tell you to do understand? If I say you’re going to pick up the slack Lou left then that's what you’re going to do! Do you remember the agreement we have? HUH?! If you want the candy that you’re addicted to along with the money you’re going to follow orders!
Kevin smirks and gets in Dredge's face…
(Legacy): First off that was the last Mountain Dew you asshole!! Secondly, I don't take orders from you. Kevin Legacy is his own man and I do what I want when I want. And lastly if you have been paying attention to something other than yourself you would know that I have been clean and sober for some time now! As for the money, I make enough to get me by so if you don't start treating me like an equal than you are going to get my size eleven shoe in your face!!
Dredge takes a step back with a sly yet deadly grin on his face as he holds his hands up
(Dredge): Oh come on Kev...
Dredge's tone taking a bit more friendly tone to it
(Dredge): You know as well as I do that you have a stash of the good stuff tucked away just in case you hit another rough patch.
Dredge glances around nervously
(Dredge): Do you really want to go this route with me man? I think you’re a bit smarter than Gravedigger then to get on my bad side right?
Dredge tries to nervously laugh it off
(Dredge): You know that you need me more now than ever before and I could use someone with your talents as my wing man. I've just been stressed out I didn't mean to offend you, you know how it goes we don't need to be enemies here we need to stick together as a unit not be torn apart.
Kevin takes a deep breath
(Legacy): And it doesn't help that I've been under all this pressure since I found out about having this cancerous tumor near my brain. Listen Michael, you know I got your back as well as Talon's and Gravedigger's. Just chill out and this whole thing with the big man will go away.
Dredge rubs his clean shaven chin with his gloved hand.
(Dredge): I hope so bro... Gravedigger has been coming at me with pot shots for awhile you know? I just had to finally put my foot down and let him know who he’s talking to... Coming out of that war with Logan has me a little shaken not to mention I thought you challenging me for the strap meant you were going to be a turn coat on me... I thought I lost you for sure after that match which is why I took a more aggressive demeaning stance against you. In truth man I didn't mean any of that sh1t I said about you being my underling and all it's really just talk man.
Dredge breaths out a sigh of relief as he speaks those words then holds his hand out.
(Dredge): I just want to know man that we are cool and on the same page, and you will do your best to keep Gravedigger under control... He's a bit of a hot head and just as much unpredictable I don't want him biting us on the ass and fucking all our plans up.
Kevin smiles and shakes Dredge's hand.
(Legacy): No hard feelings pal, I know that you had to do what you had to keep your strap and I respect that. I'd do the same if I were in your shoes and being one-half of the tag champs and a former Anarchy Champion I know the demands of being a champion. I'll talk to the big guy and see if I can defuse the situation.
(Dredge): Alright awesome. I just want us to be a collective unit again it seems things have began to fall apart over the last month; I'll see you in a bit Kev.
Kevin pats Dredge on the back.
(Legacy): Ok, see you in a bit champ.
Kevin and Michael part ways as the scene fades to ringside.

A large fireworks display erupts around the UA-tron as the sold out crowd is on their feet as ‘‘Injection’‘ by Rise Against blasts over the PA system. The fans are going insane as the camera pans across the sold out crowd. The camera stops for a moment in the front row as we see Katy Perry sitting at ringside smiling and applauding as the camera then cuts to ring side with the CRW commentary team!
(Kelly): Welcome everyone, this is CRW Face Off! We’re live here tonight from New York City and there is much drama here in the CRW world.
(Eli): That’s right Kelly. Just 10 days removed from CRW’s greatest Pay Per View Crucible we have been struck with more twist and turns than a daytime tv soap opera. Only thing missing is the evil twin.
(Kelly): For those of you unlucky to have missed out on the greatest pay per view in our company’s history we’ll try to do a short recap. Eddie Phoe –
Kelly Reyes is interrupted by the opening trumpets of “El Rey” by Vicente Fernandez. The CRW crowd goes wild as Diego de la Vega steps out onto the stage. He holds a microphone and is sporting casual clothes. He has his Apex Championship strapped across his waist.
(Eli): Didn’t think he would want to show his face … or mask … after coming so close to winning crucible. That’s the things with young guys you never know how they will handle defeat.
(Kelly): The heart that Diego showed in the crucible tournament should be an indication that he can handle anything. I wonder what’s on his mind for him to come out and speak.
Diego steps into the ring in a much more melancholic manner than the CRW is used to seeing. He stands in the center of the ring unable to speak at first which prompts chants from the CRW audience like “We still love you” and “Go Diego Go”
(Diego): Thank you. Muchas Gracias. They say there is no such thing as a good loss. They say that winning is everything. And they are right. A loss is a loss and a win is a win but I am damn proud of that loss. Two men gave it everything they had. I know some people have tried to argue in my defense and claim it was luck that the clock ran out. I can tell those people to stop because I am not ashamed of what happened in that ring. What happened in that ring was nothing short of a classic. Pero, that’s enough about the match I came out here tonight because I wanted to make it a point to congratulate this man first and too his face. Damas y Caballeros … Ladies and Gentlemen … the winner of the Crucible tournament … EDDIE PHEONIX!!!
“Amazing” by Kanye West blares through the arena speakers. The crowd noise is deafening as Eddie Phoenix steps out onto the stage from the curtain. He is bolstering a big smile along with an Occupy CRW T-Shirt. Fans are leaning across the rails just to get a handshake which Eddie obliges as most as possible.
(Kelly): Look at the way these fans are responding to Eddie. Have you ever seen anything like this Eli?
(Eli): You ever see me try to enter the building? It’s like a mob around me!
(Kelly): Right … sure they do Eli … sure they do
Eddie is now in the center of the ring just mere feet from Diego de la Vega. The CRW crowd erupts in a chant of “5 star match” and “You are awesome”. Eddie holds out his hand to silence the crowd for a moment as he reaches the mic up to his lips.
(Eddie): I got to say Diego … it takes a big man to do what you’re doing. This man pushed me to limits I didn’t know I had. I know you guys have been cheering your asses off but I need this man to know how much he is appreciated so let me hear that ‘Go Diego Go’ chant once more!!
The crowd responds with a boisterous chant of Go Diego Go.
(Diego): Thank you Eddie. But this isn’t about me. This is about you and what you have accomplished. You started a movement. You started Occupy CRW. You had to fight as hard just to get into the tournament as you did once you were in. Y pore so tienes mis respectos. You have my respect.
(Eddie): Thank YOU Diego. But enough with us kissing each other’s asses. This is about crucible and my chance to have a world title opportunity anytime, anywhere, anyplace. Hell for all I know, it might be tonight!
(Kelly): Tonight! You hear that Eli?
(Eli): Settle down girly he said maybe. Eddie should be smart about it and wait for the perfect opportunity.
(Eddie): But tonight’s not right. Tonight is all about vengeance. You see besides me winning Crucible last night it seems the other shoe hadn’t dropped just yet. Turns out the man keeping me out of Crucible was the same man that kept me out of CRW for months on end. Him and his little lap dogs think they can make it big on mine and Diego’s names. I say they want us so bad, they want the opportunity so bad, they bring their asses to this ring and get it on right now. What do you say Diego?
(Diego): ORALE!!
(Kelly): Wow both Diego and Eddie are fired up here tonight. They don’t want to wait till later in the night they are in a fighting mood right now.
(Eli): That kind of emotional energy can get you into some big trouble … and here comes trouble now!
Instead of Karl Sykes and Merlyn out comes Jack Bookman in a neatly cleaned pressed suit. He has a microphone in his hand and a very serious look on his face.
(Jack): Now, now gentleman. Karl nor Merlyn are here tonight yet so you two are going to have to put the cuckoo back in the clock and wait your turn. You boys wouldn’t be trying to ruin a main event would you. See that’s not good for business and if it’s not good for business it’s not good for me.
(Eddie): Oh yeah? Business huh? How about I take the business end of this microphone walk all the way up that ramp and shove it right up your ass!!
The crowd responds in a huge cheer at Eddie’s suggestion. Jack goes to answer but the crowd cuts him off by chanting ‘asshole’ asshole asshole’.
(Diego): I’m sorry Jack we didn’t quite catch that. There were 20,000 people calling you an asshole.
This only incites the crowd further into continuing the chant this time even louder at Jack Bookman.
(Jack): As I was saying … seeing a large fight happen right now wouldn’t be good for business. So I’m going to need both of you to calm yourselves down, get out of that ring and march right back to your dressing rooms.
(Diego): You know what Jack how about you shove it. I can’t believe I ever thought about putting my faith in a man like you. You’re two faced Jack and you’re no different than Talon or Dredge in their mad grab for power. You give a good speech but when it comes down to it you’re just an empty suit working in the name of the almighty dollar. You don’t understand what it means to give it everything you have just for a shot at glory. You don’t get what it means to be a fan of wrestling and trecking miles after miles after miles just to catch a glimpse of your favorite wrestler because you just want to know what it feels like to be that close to someone that great.
(Jack): You better be careful there Diego. I don’t appreciate that tone you’re using when addressing your Apex Division Manager. If you want to keep that spiffy title around your waist you better learn to mind your mouth because I put you in a position to succeed and I can damn sure put you out of your misery, just ask your friend Eddie there.
That’s all it takes for the Eddie Phoenix and Diego de la Vega to set them off. They jump out of the ring and start walking towards the ramp where Jack Bookman doesn’t even flinch. As they pass the ring and begging going up they are blindsided from behind by Karl Sykes and Merlyn.
(Kelly): Karl and Merlyn?!?! Where did they come from?!?
(Eli): Ol’ Jack here looks like he was fibbing a little.
Karl and Merlyn begin work on both men as they proceed to beat them down with fists and kicks. Karl delivers a stiff kick to the crown of Eddie’s head. Merlyn delivers knee strikes after knee strikes before sending De la Vega headfirst into the railing. Karl ask Merlyn to come over as they both irish whip Eddie into the steel steps at ring side shoulder first. Both men celebrate together as De la Vega begins to stir. They grab him together and drive him headfirst into the steel ring post. The crowd is incited into a violent roar of boo’s as both men deliver photogenic smiles as they walk upwards to the ramp.
(Jack): Like I was trying to tell you boys. A giant brawl wasn’t good for business. What will be good for business however is that if Merlyn and Mr. Sykes win tonight, then each man will be granted an Apex Championship match over the coming weeks…
(Kelly): …well folks, as Eddie and Diego collect themselves and get back to the back, lets take a moment to give you a quick rundown of tonight’s card.
(Eli): Tonight we’ve got some great tag team action! First, we’ll see William Draconis and girlfriend, Jasmine Lee take on the husband/wife combo of Black Death and Lisa Wallace.
(Kelly): This one should be fun E, mixed tag team action as the women are finally allowed to wrestle the men and show that they have what it takes!
(Eli): …Yeah well, we’ll discuss that issue later, because we’ve also got another tag team match tonight, when Eddie Phoenix and Diego de la Vega team up to take on The Predator Karl Sykes and Merlyn, I wonder if Smokehouse will be coming to the ring with them…
(Kelly): Smokehouse shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the ring tonight! This is a classic set up from Jack Bookman, and everyone here tonight knows it!
(Eli): Yeah, but what can you do? He’s a man of power, and we are just employees.
(Kelly): …Well Talon could step in.
(Eli): hahaha! Why would Talon do that?
(Kelly): He’s the owner of this company!
(Eli): Yeah, well he’s got his own problems to manage.
(Kelly): …Speaking of which, the main event tonight is going to be interesting as tension flairs between World Champion Michael Dredge, Tag Champ, Kevin Legacy, and Apex/Tag Champion, Gravedigger. Gravedigger must defend his Anarchy title against Justice Legal and both Dredge and Legacy will be at ringside in Digger’s corner.
(Eli): Gravedigger has bucked up a few times as of late, but Dredge continues to try to keep him in his place. If things get out of hand tonight, who knows what could happen!
(Kelly): Well, we’ll touch more on that and other matches tonight as we progress through the evening, but now it is time for our first contest!
(Announcer): The following contest is scheduled for one fall, first coming to the ring… Leon Corbin!
‘Nobody's Fool’ by Cinderella fills the arena. As the guitar winds through the intro the lighting dims slightly. Leon walks out with a sadistic grin on his face and his hood up. Stopping at the top of the stage he throws off the hood then takes in the fans abuse, slowly walking to ring. He stops at the bottom of the ramp before leaping onto the apron similar to the on one knee with other leg outstretched. Leon climbs into the ring through ropes and then climbs the turnbuckle, sitting there as he awaits his opponent.
(Eli): Look at this guy, is he even taller than the turnbuckles?
(Kelly): Even I have to say Leon Corbin doesn’t look like your traditional wrestler.
(Eli): You’re not kidding! In my heyday, he’d have been snapped like a twig.
(Announcer): and his opponent, T-Money!
The house lights fade to black as two sets of squad car lights pierce the darkness. The sound of a police siren and a few gun shots fill the air. "I'm A Boss Remix" by Meek Mill ft. T.I., Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne & DJ Khaled begins to boom through the PA while smoke fills the entryway. T-Money appears as a silhouette in the midst of it. From the stage, six shots of pyro are shot out above the crowd. T-Money steps through the smoke to a vast amount of cheers and boos and heads down the ramp. Bare chested and clad in jeans and Timberland boots, he slowly strolls to the ring. T-Money climbs the ring steps and stops for a moment to pose for the crowd. T-Money turns back to the ring, climbs through the ropes, and poses once again as his theme music fades out.
(Eli): Now this guy at least looks the part…
(Kelly): Well this is both these guys debut matches here in CRW so there’s no telling what might happen.
(Eli): Yeah but come on Kelly, if Emo Corbin wins this I’ll eat my own headset!
(Kelly): His name is Leon…
T-Money bounces off the turnbuckle as the ref calls for the bell but Leon still sits in his corner, cocking his head to the side as if sizing T-Money up. He finally hops down and is almost toe to toe with Money, the 7 inch height difference clear to see. T-Money has a cocky look on his face but Leon responds with a hard right hand that staggers him, Money rushes in lands a huge clothesline that floors Leon instantly. But he pops up quickly and T-Money drops him down again with a powerful clothesline but once again Leon is up quickly, shaking off the blows and as T-Money comes in once more Corbin ducks the clothesline, comes off the ropes and drop kicks him in the back. T-Money stumbles forward and Leon gets up again and charges at him, ramming a knee into his back that drops T-Money onto his knees. Leon runs against the ropes once more and looks for an early Breaking the Curse (super kick to kneeling opponent) but T-Money explodes up and crushes Corbin with a spine buster. He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.…….2.….. But Corbin just kicks out.
(Eli): Oh my god this one won’t last long.
(Kelly): Corbin looks in a lot of trouble early doors.
(Eli): T-Money is almost toying with him here!
T-Money is quick to grab Leon back to his feet, he looks to scoop him up but Corbin fights back with an elbow strike to the gut. T-Money absorbs it but releases Corbin long enough for him to dive between his legs and roll him up, the ref looks for the pin but Corbin just gets up looks to lock in a figure four leg lock but Money escapes, rolling back to his feet as Corbin comes in with a serious of kicks to his legs and body. He manages to back Money back into the corner and takes a few steps and looks for a jumping Yakuza Kick back T-Money catches him but before he can do anything Corbin counters impressively and manages to lock Money into the tarantula submission hold. T-Money is yelling in pain as the ref starts the count 1.……. Corbin takes no notice and seems to me enjoying it…2.…… Money is in great pain but can’t escape but he still refuses to tap … 3.………4.……..Corbin lets go and Money slumps to the floor as Leon hops to the top of the turnbuckle and jumps off with the “Psychosia” (Diving double footstomp/Warriors way) to T-Moneys face. His nose instantly explodes into a bloody mess and Leon goes for the pin and the ref counts 1.…….2.… but T-Money gets a shoulder up.
(Kelly): Credit to Corbin he’s managed to get himself back into this match, and he’s drawn first blood.
(Eli): It won’t last Kelly; it looks like he’s just pissed T-Money off.
Leon gets up and instantly starts stomping T-Money in the face but the ref backs him up, checking on Money. He shrugs the ref off and gets to his feet, he looks pissed and tells Corbin to bring it. Leon obliges but he walks right into a big boot by the much taller T-Money. He tries to bounce straight back up but T-Money anticipates it and drills him down with a running bulldog. He rolls Corbin over an looks to snap him two as he locks the small man into a Boston Crab. Leon is in a lot of agony as T-Money roars, yanking back. Fortunately for Corbin he’s quite close to the ropes and he reaches out his finger touching it but he can’t quite grasp it. The ref is asking is he gives in but he replies with ‘Fuck You’ and manages to wrap his fingers around the bottom rope. The ref counts 1.…..2.……3.. And T-Money releases the hold. Corbin is still on the deck in a lot of pain, his hand nursing his lower back when T-Money yanks him to his feet and plants him down emphatically with the “Money Maker” (Reverse Cradle DDT). He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.…….2.……. But NO! Corbin somehow kicks out.
(Eli): Damn! This little guy doesn’t know when to quit!
(Kelly): You can say that again but what a move by T-Money.
T-Money can’t quite believe it but he is up and he climbs to the top rope and waits as Leon slowly gets to his feet. He finally turns and spots T-Money flying towards him looking for a flying spinning heel kick and manages to duck underneath the attack. But somehow T-Money adjusts himself and lands on his feet, drawing a pop from the crowd. His momentum takes him into the opposite corner where he grabs the ropes and lets out a sigh of relief. He turns just in time to get planted by a Yakuza Kick. He falls back and is sitting in the corner when Corbin comes back in and hits a running Corner Facewash. T-Money looks like he could be out cold as Leon struggles to pull him to his feet. He finally looks to set him up for the Eternal Chaos (Gods last gift/package DDT) but T-Money isn’t done for yet as he powers out with a back drop but Leon has a long way to fall and manages to land on his feet, he steadies himself before hitting a chop block on Money. Big Money falls to his knees and Leon again darts in front of him, but before he can mount an attack Money lunges forward and connects with a big flying spinning heel kick!
Leon hits the mat hard and Money covers him!
...1!
...2!
...3!
The bell rings as T-Money gets to his feet and raises his arms in victory.
(Announcer): Here is your winner... T-Money!
(Kelly): an impressive debut for both men I would say.
(Eli): T-Money dug deep there at the end, connecting with that well timed heel kick, and as a result, he picks up his first CRW win!
As Money celebrates, Corbin puts his hands on his head, covering his ears as the fans cheer. He suddenly seems to snap, getting to his feet and drop kicking T-Money in the back on the knees.
Money collapses and Corbin doesn’t waste a second as he stomps the back of Money’s head before expertly locking in the Soul Drain (Cattle Mutilation). Corbin grins in delight as he has the move locked in tight and Money yells in pain. The ref yells for Leon to release him, but Leon seems intent on inflicting pain.
The camera cuts to the front row were several fans are booing, but one girl, Holly, is still on the Leon Corbin band wagon. She smiles with delight as Leon is finally pried off of Money and exits the ring.
(Kelly): Wow... some really ruthless aggression there from Corbin.
(Eli): I didn’t know the little guy had it in him!
Leon and Money each head toward the back as the cameras cut backstage…
The scene fades in backstage, where the camera shows the nameplate on a locker room door that reads 'BUDDY ZENT'. Groaning can be heard from inside extremely loud, as the camera zooms out, revealing the entire door.
"Oh...damn" is heard softly, from inside the opposing room.
"Oh...yeah!" follows, as the camera moves closer to the door.
"Oh Rachel, you make my inside go all gooey..."
The door opens, revealing Buddy Zent, in just a towel, licking the insides of a Rachel's Rice yogurt pot.
"I get this imported all the way from London" says Zent, licking his lips, "it's just so damn delicious!!"
"Mmmm, mmm, MMMM!!" mumbles the 24-year-old, moving over to the mirror, revealing his super-white teeth. He looks closely, cleaning them with his tongue before flashing a goofy smile.
"Damn these babies gleam!" he remarks, now moving over to his wardrobe.
He opens it, revealing six identical pairs of trunks, hanging perfectly. They are from left to right, hot pink, love red, electric blue, scarlet violet, caramel gold and emerald green.
"Hmmmm..." he ponders, before grabbing the hot pink pair.
"Pink to makes the girls wink!" he remarks, laughing to himself.
"Now what about a jacket?" he asks, moving over to the next wardrobe.
He opens it, revealing six identical blazer jackets, hanging perfectly. They are from left to right, hot pink, love red, electric blue, scarlet violet, caramel gold and emerald green.
He taps his lips with his fingers, wandering which one to choose.
He moves in, before pulling away, twiddling his fingers on his lips once more.
He goes for another, but doesn't commit, pulling away and taking a step back.
Finally, he smiles, with his mind made up.
"It's got to be pink!" he says excitably, grabbing the blazer and throwing it over his shoulder.
"Time for a shower," says Zent as he starts to scout about the locker room.
"Now where did I put that apple body scrub?!"
The scene fades, as Zent looks frantically around his perfectly organized locker room.
,,,the camera cuts back to ringside where Kelly and Eli are sitting, each with an amused look on their faces.
(Eli): What in the blue hell was that?!
(Kelly): …I don’t know, but I think I like it!
(Eli): Oh come on, Kelly. First Eddie Phoenix and now this Lent kid?
(Kelly): Its ZENT, Eli… Zent.
(Eli): …Man, sometimes I miss ole Mike Conway.
(Kelly): …uuugh, well any ways folks, I am just getting word in now that one of our matches tonight will not be taking place.
(Eli): what? Which one?
(Kelly): Well, apparently there was some sort of travel snafu involved in The Wallace families flight from Las Vegas and they have not arrived in New York yet, so tonight’s mixed tag team match has been awarded by forfeit to William Draconis and Jasmine Lee.
(Eli): wow, so an easy win tonight for Dragon and Lee.
(Kelly): true, but knowing their competitive spirits, I’m sure they would have rather had the match and shown off their tag team skills.
(Eli): well, maybe they can next week?
(Kelly): Maybe so, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. You have to know that Jasmine can not be happy about all of this, she’s had her last two matches cancelled, and that has to be weighing on her.
(Eli): Yeah, but hey that’s life… anyways, lets get to a real match then eh?
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall, first coming to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada… “The Pretty Boy” Chris Mosh!
“We will rock you” by Armageddon fills the sound system. A smiling Chris Mosh walks out and the camera gets a close up. He walks down the ramp winking at all the pretty girls, he then stops at the steps and looks around… the entire arena boos the vein star as he spots the 5 girls that make up the Chris Mosh fan club… he walks over to them and poses and then slowly he walks up the steps. He jumps over the ropes and spins to the middle of the ring where he show off his body.
(Announcer): and his opponent, from Edinburgh, Scotland… Logan Neilson!
Blue smoke rises and fills the entrance stage, and two white pyro’s go off creating an X through the smoke as “Idols and Anchors" by Parkway Drive starts playing. Just as the St Andrews cross starts to fade the music stops silent for a second. Another explosion of pyro’s goes off as the song kicks in again and Logan Neilson swaggers confidently onto the stage and the crowd go crazy and he raises his fist in response. He stops at the top of the aisle as the music settles again and the main riff starts to play, he nods his head along, pumping himself up and when the crescendo hits he bursts to life and sprints straight down to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope. He pops to his feet immediately as the crowd chant his name and music slowly fades out while Logan stares down his opponent.
(Kelly): Listen to this crowd Eli!
(Eli): I hear them, I think they are just trying to make him feel better about that embarrassing loss to Michael Dredge.
(Kelly): Oh please! Dredge only won because that ass hole Chris Titan attacked Logan.
(Eli): Speaking of him, I’ve heard some rumors about why he attacked Logan the other night.
(Kelly): Oh yeah?
(Eli): …Yep, but I’m not sharing.
The bell rings and both men lock up. The fans are solidly behind Logan as he quickly gets Mosh into a side headlock. Mosh immediately uses his left hand to rake Logan’s eyes, releasing the hold, allowing Mosh to quickly roll him up!
Before the ref can even attempt to make a count, Logan kicks out and gets to his feet quickly, but Mosh stays on his game connecting with a well placed drop kick sending Logan right back to the mat. The fans stay behind Logan as he gets to his feet and Mosh goes for a super kick! Logan catches the leg as the fans cheer. Mosh waves his arms as Logan smiles and spins him around, grabbing him in a full nelson and slams him with the “Full Neilson” Logan covers him as the ref counts!
…1!
…2!
But Mosh kicks out.
(Kelly): near fall there for Logan, he really planted Mosh there!
(Eli): Being an old school wrestler, I really love that move from Logan.
Logan gets up and stalks Mosh, once he turns to face him, Logan runs him over and pounces on him with the Blast Beat! The fans count along as Logan smashes the Pretty Boy’s face with a flurry of hard shots. The ref orders Logan off, and the Scotsman grants the request as he gets back to his feet and waits for Mosh to do the same.
Mosh gets to his feet and Logan charges at him but Mosh quickly drops down, pulling the top rope down at the same time sending Logan spilling head first over the top rope! Logan hits the ground hard, instantly grabbing his shoulder on impact.
(Kelly): Oh no, this isn’t good for Logan, he’s already aggravated that bad shoulder.
(Eli): I don’t think he should really be competing tonight, a torn up shoulder is nothing to take lightly, if he tears something he could require surgery.
Mosh gets to his feet as the fans boo, he strikes a quick pose while Logan remains on the outside, holding his already injured shoulder.
The fans begin to chant “Lets go Logan” as he begins to get back to his feet. Mosh sees Logan getting up and decides to go for another quick strike, he hits the ropes and goes for a baseball slide, but Logan side steps him and jerks him from the ring! The fans get louder as Logan begins to unload hard punch after punch that send the Pretty Boy rocking backwards. Mosh ducks a shot from Logan and shoves him back and quickly runs and slides back into the ring. Logan gives chase but as he slides back in, Mosh stomps his shoulder and quickly drops down, locking in a seated armbar!
Logan is in serious pain as he gets his foot on the ropes to break the hold! Mosh refuses to release the hold until the last second of the refs 5 count. The fans boo again as Mosh raises both arms and calls for the end of the match… Logan gets to his feet and Mosh grabs him, looking for the “MoshPlex” (Fisherman suplex w/ bridge). Mosh hits the move and the ref counts!
…1!
…2!
…but Logan kicks out!
Mosh yells at the referee as he feels the count was slow! The fans are getting louder and louder as they see Logan get to his feet, he stands behind Chris Mosh who is still arguing the count with the ref! Logan takes two steps back and nods his head repeatedly as the crowd urges him on, Mosh turns around and Logan connects with a big time “MIA” (Trouble In Paradise) the fans are going wild as Mosh hits the mat but … suddenly, screaming metal blares from the PA as "The Gears" by Dethklok blasts and the roar of an engine is heard as Mosh, Logan turn and look toward the entrance way to see a midnight black 1967 Ford Thunderbird speed out of the back and stop at the bottom of the entry ramp.
(Kelly): alright… now what in the hell is this?!
(Eli):… that’s a 67 Thunderbird honey!
(Kelly): .. I mean what the world is it doing out here?!
The engine revs as Dethklok continues to blast on the PA, Chris Titan steps out of the car and climbs on the hood. Titan raises his arms as pyro shoots up from the stage. The music stops and Titan jumps down off of the car and glares at Logan who is shouting at him from inside the ring...
(Eli): Uh oh… It’s Titan!
(Kelly): Why is it he can only come out to face Logan when Logan’s already been fighting? What a coward!
(Eli): Maybe it’s the only time Logan will come out of hiding to face him?!
(Kelly): Oh please Eli, Logan Neilson wouldn’t hide from anything!
(Eli): He better watch out!
Right then, as Logan still faces Titan who is at his car still, Mosh comes at Logan from behind and rolls him up!
…1!
…2!
But Logan kicks out!
Mosh stays on the attack as Katy Perry jumps over the guard rail and heads up the ramp where Titan is still standing.
(Kelly): what is Katy Perry doing?!
(Katy): "What are you doing here?"
(Titan): "You didn't tell him about us did you?"
(Katy): "Is that what this is about?! You're here to get me back?"
(Titan): "Hell no, I'm just here looking out for you like I always did growing up."
(Katy): "I dont need your help"
(Titan): "Oh, like you didn't need it with Russell right?”
"That is not fair." Katy said quietly, but it can still be heard on camera…
As Logan knocks Mosh to the ground he looks up to see Titan and Katy still arguing, he climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp. Titan sees him coming and begins to taunt him.
"Oh you want some more huh?" Titan yells as Logan takes a run at him only to have Titan step aside and blast him with across the shoulder with a wrench!
DING DING DING!
(Eli): That should be a disqualification for sure!
(Kelly): Oh no, Logan’s already injured shoulder just got blasted with that big steel wrench!
(Eli): …That’s a low move there! I might be ok with cutting corners in the ring, but you don’t come out here, without ever having a match and try to end a guys career!
Logan drops to a knee but quickly fights off the intense pain as he tries to attack Titan but Titan avoids him and slam him face first into the hood of the car. Katy backs away screaming as Titan knees Logan in the stomach and tosses him into the guard rail, Logan takes a swing at Titan but he ducks and back drops Logan on to the hood of the car.
(Kelly): Titan is picking Logan apart here, someone needs to get out here and kick Chris Titan out of the builing!
Titan climbs on top of the car and stomps Logan's chest. He smiles and pulls Logan to the top of the car by his hair as Katy pleads with him to stop, but Titan bends Logan back and nails him with “Overdrive” (Cross Rhodes), driving Logan's head and shoulder into the top of the car! Titan jumps down from the car and heads to the ring walking past Katy as the fans boo loudly!
(Eli): Well, he’s at least stopped now… but what was he yelling at Katy about before he attacked Logan?
(Kelly): I have no idea, but someone needs to help Logan. I think his shoulder may be seriously injured!
Logan slowly gets to his feet, but he clutches his shoulder tightly to his body as Katy tries to get close to him to help him. He is in a lot of pain as he drops back down to one knee, cursing loudly as two medical team members come out from the back to help him back and get checked out.
The fans are chanting “Ass Hole” at Titan as Logan and Katy make their way to the locker room with the medical staff and Chris Mosh leaves the ringside area as well, arguing with the referee that he should have won by way of a count out.
Titan stands in the ring, the fans still harassing him as Jasmine Locklear also enters the ring with a microphone.
(Jasmine): "Chris Titan, let me be the first to say….why are you here?"
Chris grabs the mic out of Jasmine's hand and runs her out of the ring. The fans boo louder as he finally speaks.
(Titan): "Hey Logan, she may not have told you the whole truth but I will. Your Katy, she was mine before she was yours! In fact, she was mine before she was ANYONE else’s! Don't get it twisted Logan, I'm not here for her, she's yours, you can have her. Truth be told, I never liked any of Katy's boyfriends, they always end up breaking her heart. I want you to know this Logan, I'll break your neck before you get that chance!"
The fans continue to chant “ass hole, ass hole” as Titan continues.
(Titan): "I'm gonna lay down the challenge Logan, Me against whatever is left of you… any time, ANY PLACE! I'll finish you off myself and make sure you never forget the name, Chris Titan!"
Titan drops the mic and walks back to his car, revving it up and driving it back behind the entrance stage as the cameras cut back to Kelly and Eli at ringside…
(Kelly):…I can’t believe what we just heard.
(Eli): See, my source was right. Titan and Katy were apart of that “teenage dream” back in the day.
(Kelly): did you just make a Katy Perry pun?
(Eli): …So what if I did?
(Kelly): Its just… weird.
(Eli): What, I kissed a hot and cold california girl and I liked it, it was almost Extraterrestrial.
(Kelly): …Oh God, folks, we are sending it backstage where our camera’s have caught up with Logan and the medical trainers.
The camera cuts backstage where Logan is in the medical room. He is yelling in pain, clutching his right shoulder as Katy tries to calm him down. A member of the medical team comes over.
(EMT): Logan, you will need to go to the hospital so tests can be done to see the extent of the damage. I can give you some painkillers now if you want?
(Logan): Nah… arrrgh…. I’ve got some in ma locker room.
(EMT): Okay, if you’re sure…
Katy comes over and says something to the member of the medical staff and he leaves. She turns back to Logan who is sitting on a gurney looking frustrated.
(Katy): I told them I’d take you to the hospital…
(Logan): Good… ‘Cause we need tae talk.
She remains silent, hoping that they could leave this until later.
(Logan): You didnae think tae tell me that ye used tae date that clown?
(Katy): What difference does it make, Logan?! It’s you I care about… Saying anything would … just…
(Logan): It would just be honest, Katy! That’s what it would be…. Jesus Christ!!!
(Katy): Okay, I’m sorry! Calm down!
Logan looks at her as he grabs his shoulder again.
(Logan): Nah, that wasnae at you…
He nods at his arm.
(Logan): Look. It doesnae matter right now. Just a bit of a shock…
(Katy): I know… I should have told you.
Logan tries to shrug it off then flinches and lets out a whine of pain.
(Logan): Uurrgh… It’s fine, get me painkillers and I’ll forgive ye!
She giggles and helps him to his feet, even though he can walk fine, and they leave the room as the camera cuts back to ringside.
(Kelly): Well Logan looks like he’ll be alright Eli, but he really looks beat up.
(Eli): He needs some rest to let that arm heel, but if he’s going to keep on trying to be a hero and an iron man, he’s going to find out that once things like that get seriously injured, they never really heal the same way again.
(Announcer): This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from parts unknown, weighing in at 220 pounds, Daniel Fury!
"Renegade" by Styx begins to play while the lights dim slightly.
Oh Mama Im in fear for my life from the long arm of the law.
Fans stand up and start to rumble.
Lawman has put an end to my running and Im so far from my home
The crowd starts to cheer as they recognize the familiar tune.
Oh Mama I can hear you crying your so scared and all alone.
A search light pans around the arena.
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I dont have very long
Everything goes black for a half second until the song screams "YEAH!"
The lights come back on full force as a large plume of silver pyro explodes above the entrance ramp and the song kicks in full force!
The fans cheer loudly as Daniel Fury stands in the cloud left by the pyro in his ring gear ready for action. Fury raises his left arm in the air to a loud reaction before running and sliding under the bottom rope, popping to his feet quickly and climbing the nearest turnbuckle, pumping up the fans before returning to the center of the ring. He tests the ropes and performs a quick silent prayer before the match begins.
(Announcer): And his opponent, from Seattle Washington, weighing in at 325 pounds, Lucas “Sandman” Payne!
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena then begins to glow with red lights as Bloodline by Slayer plays through the PA system. Smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the ramp, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke and makes his way to the ring.
(Eli): well this one should be interesting, on one side of the ring you have Daniel Fury, hot rookie sensation who has looked good since debuting a few weeks ago, and on the other side of the ring, you have the most dominant Anarchy Champion to date in CRW, and now he’s “Unleashed” as he himself has said recently. Payne is a man that if I had to pick “one” man who would be a sure bet to be a World Champion in 2012, I would choose the Sandman, he has all the characteristics, the physical make up, the moves, the speech, and the determination and focus to win any match he is in. I would LOVE to see him face Michael Dredge one on one.
(Kelly): wow Eli, that’s a big praise there… whoa, here we go!
Fury darts at Payne as he finishes stepping over the top rope. Fury dropkicks Payne’s leg as Payne goes down; he gets right back up and Fury does it again. Payne goes down again and gets right back up. Fury off the ropes and hit’s a spinning heel kick. Payne goes down again and gets right back up. Fury goes for a dropkick to the knee again but Payne moves and then hit’s an elbow drop to the back of the head to Fury. Payne gets up and starts kicking Fury as he begins to get up. Payne hits a DDT on Fury before he can make it to his feet, putting him down again.
(Kelly): Fury trying to make this match a fast paced bout, but he went to the well one too many times and Payne gets the better of him.
(Eli): The stereotypical, technical big man vs. aerial small man… Not the case here, Lucas Payne is more than just a big man, he’s like a Small Forward in the NBA.
Payne picks up Fury and sends him to the ropes; Fury comes off and gets hit with a spine buster slam. Payne goes for the pin!
…..1!
.…………2!
.…………KICK OUT!
Payne picks up Fury and sets him up for a power bomb. As Payne picks Fury up, Fury reverses and hits a hurricanrana. The momentum takes Payne to the outside, and Fury shoots off the ropes and leaps to the top rope. Payne turns around and Fury hits him with a shooting star press. Fury taunts the crowd as he slides into the ring. The count begins after Fury slides in…
….1
.………….2
.………….3
.……………..4
.…………..5
(Kelly): Fury reverses the power bomb into a hurricanrana and then hits a shooting star press to Payne on the outside, that is phenomenal!
(Eli): Payne might just be counted out here after that vicious dive!
Payne begins to get up at 6 and makes it to his feet by 7, as he turns around Fury nails him with a suicide dive through the ropes. Fury rolls back into the ring as Payne slaps the mat in frustration as he begins to get up. Payne gets up and Fury goes for a suicide dive through the ropes again but Payne catches him. Payne gorilla presses Fury over the top rope into the ring. Payne slides into the ring and Fury is up and climbs the ropes, doing a moonsault, Payne gets up and Fury hits the moonsault on Payne. Fury stays on him for the pin!
……………1
.………………..2
.…………..Payne throws Fury off of him. Fury bounces off the ropes again and as Payne gets up, and hits a huge standing clothesline that nearly takes Fury out of his boots!
Payne for the pin
….1
.………………..2
.………………KICK OUT!!!!!!
(Kelly): Wow, after Fury hit the moonsault and a two count, but gets pressed off by Payne, then Payne hits a huge clothesline, but only for another two count.
Payne gets to his feet and sizes Fury up. Daniel turns and ducks another clothesline, but as he hits the ropes and launches through the air with a springboard roundhouse kick, Lucas drives a big boot into his face and drops him to the mat! The fans are stunned as Lucas lifts Daniel’s lifeless body up and drives him into the mat with the Dark Slumber and covers him!
…1!
…2!
…3!
(Announcer): Here is your winner, Lucas Payne!
(Eli): SEE, I told you he was dominant!
(Kelly): a very big win for Lucas here tonight. Eli, I know Lucas better than most in CRW, I’ve done countless interviews with him. I know he’s a future world champion, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next here in CRW.
As Lucas makes his way up the ramp, the referee helps Daniel Fury back up to his feet and escorts him out as well… Once everyone has cleared the ringside area, the camera cuts backstage to Eddie Phoenix’s Locker Room.
The locker room is completely trashed, with Eddie’s clothes tossed around the room like a tornado has ripped through it. The camera pans around as an unknown figure sits in the corner. The camera gets closer as suddenly the door to the locker room opens and Eddie walks in.
(Eddie): …what the hell?!
Eddie looks around and see the man and quickly grabs him, turning him around to reveal a strange Hobo in an Occupy CRW t-shirt
(Eddie): What are you doing man? I would have gave you some money…
The man doesn’t speak.. he simply stares at Eddie and looks down at the sign around his neck.
Eddie’s eyes grow wide as he reads the sign.
“Ed, See if you can Make him famous TOO… - Merlyn”
Eddie looks around in disbelief as we cut back to ringside…
The intro to "Deeper Underground" by Jamiroquai plays on the sound system as lights flash across the arena. As the intro builds, gold sparks fill the entrance, building suspense. Slowly, rising from below, Buddy Zent appears, arms crossed with a screw face. The music crashes and his smile breaks out, exploding on his way to the ring, oozing with charisma. He’s wearing hot pink pants and matching blazer, hair slicked back. He slaps the fans hands in quick succession before sliding into the ring, stalling for a split second, before hopping to his feet.
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, bouncing over to the ropes, raising the microphone in the air.
The crowd mumble, making no real noise, as Zent looks upset.
(Zent): "Come on! Where's everyone's spirit?! When I ask you whether you're having a delicious day, you're suppose to shout back, 'I AM' really loud, to get things going! Let's start again."
Zent lowers the microphone, circles the ring, urging the young fans at the front to join in, raring with encouragement.
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, raising the microphone to the crowd again.
"...I am..." is heard quietly, from a few kids at the front and the middle of the arena.
Zent smiles, "that's better." he says to the crowd, flashing a goofy smile. "Now, once I've asked you if you've had a delicious day and you say I am, then, I'm gonna ask you if you want to hear what I've got to say, and you reply, yes man! Got it? Okay let's go from the beginning!!"
Zent circles the ring once more, urging the crowd to get involved, as a select few start to take a liking to him.
(Eli): "This guy defiantly doesn’t lack enthusiasm..”
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, bouncing over to the ropes, raising the microphone to the arena.
"..I AM!!" the crowd respond, causing Zent to stumble back, shocked by the response, producing a goofy smile.
Struggling to get his words out, he raises the microphone again.
(Zent): "WHO WANTS TO HEAR, WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY?!"
"YES MAN!" the arena roar, to an over-excited Zent.
(Zent): "This is GREAT!! Even more amazing than it went in my head! Now! We are halfway there! Next, once I've asked you if you've had a delicious day and you say I am, then I ask you if you want to hear what I've got to say and you say yes man, THEEENNN, I’m going to ask you guys what my name is and you shout back Buddy Zent!! Got it? Good! From the top!!"
Taking a few breaths in, Zent relaxes, before raising the microphone.
(Zent): "WHOSE HAVING A DELI CIOUS DAY?!"
"I AM!" the crowd roar!
(Zent): "WHO WANTS TO HEAR WHAT IVE GOT TO SAY?!"
(Crowd): "YES MAN!"
(Zent): “WHATS MY NAME??”
(Crowd): “BUDDY ZENT!”
(Zent): “AND I AM THE! MAIN EVENT!!!”
The crowd roar, enjoying Zent’s enthusiasm. He smiles, popping around the ring, pointing and winking at the crowd.
(Zent): "That's right people, my name is, Buddy Zent, And I am THE! MAIN EVENT!!"
“I’ve got the moves, and I’ve got the shoes, I’ve got the looks and I’ve read the books, I’m not vile, because I’ve got the smile!”
“But most importantly, what you guys have to remember is that I, AM, SPECIAL!”
He explodes with a cheesy smile, raising both arms beside him as the crowd respond with a few cheers.
(Zent): “I have come to Code Red Wrestling to entertain YOU, to turn this federation around and make it SPECIAL.”
“Two weeks to this day, I was sitting at home, watching this very show, and I was BORED. Where were the bright lights, the close fights, the big moves, the shiny shoes?! The huge slams, the cheering fans, the silky hair, where, where, WHERE, WAS THE BUZZ IN THE AIR?!”
“There was none, and I was done, I was so bored I started thinking about my Dad’s Ford.”
“This, HAS to CHANGE!” And this WILL change.”
“And there’s one, defying reason, why sparks are about to fly, and this place will turn from dry, to my OH MY, and begin to ELECTRIFY!”
“And that reason IS…”
“BECAUSE MY NAME IS! BUDDY ZENT…”
“And I am THE! MAIN EVENT!”
His music hits and the crowd pop for Zent as he flashes a goofy smile. Quickly jumping out the ring, he pulls a Sharpie’s marker from his hot pink pants. He signs a couple of autographs and poses for a few photos. The crowd are in awe of his enthusiasm, as he makes his way up the ramp.
(Eli): “This guy defiantly has a few catch phrases, that’s for sure!”
Zent stands at the top of the ramp, arms in the air, smiling to the crowd. He looks around once more, with a sparkle in his eye. He turns, making his way to the back, as his music fades and the show cuts to the commentators table.
(Eli): “I like this guy!!”
(Kelly): “He’s defiantly an acquired taste.”
(Eli): : “I wonder if he’ll be in the main event tonight!”
(Kelly): “Somehow I don’t think so.”
(Eli): “I can’t wait to see this guy in the ring!”
(Kelly): “Well earlier tonight I would have said the same thing but now… hmmm, He defiantly has a lot to live up to, but, now, up next, we have a big time tag match folks…
Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc.
…and Massif Mountain Gear and Atlanco
Live from Bronx, New York
(Earlier in the day…)
The scene opens backstage and we find one-half of the Tag team champions Kevin Legacy at the catering table getting something to eat. He picks threw and finds a Twinkie and a Mountain Dew and smiles
(Legacy): Jackpot!
Dredge walks up in his wrestling gear, his world title around his waist and his black gloved hand balled in a fist.
(Dredge): Gravedigger needs to be put on a tight leash tonight Kev, and I want you to make sure he does what he's supposed to with no fuck ups of any sort.
Kevin turns around with half the Twinkie in his mouth. He eats it and takes a drink of Mountain Dew before talking.
(Legacy): What he does is his business Michael, I'm his tag team partner not his keeper. Besides, where is that manager of his? I thought he'd be kicked off the campaign by now.
Dredge suddenly lashes out with frustration as he slaps the mountain dew out of Kevin's hand as he raises his voice.
(Dredge): You do what I tell you to do understand? If I say you’re going to pick up the slack Lou left then that's what you’re going to do! Do you remember the agreement we have? HUH?! If you want the candy that you’re addicted to along with the money you’re going to follow orders!
Kevin smirks and gets in Dredge's face…
(Legacy): First off that was the last Mountain Dew you asshole!! Secondly, I don't take orders from you. Kevin Legacy is his own man and I do what I want when I want. And lastly if you have been paying attention to something other than yourself you would know that I have been clean and sober for some time now! As for the money, I make enough to get me by so if you don't start treating me like an equal than you are going to get my size eleven shoe in your face!!
Dredge takes a step back with a sly yet deadly grin on his face as he holds his hands up
(Dredge): Oh come on Kev...
Dredge's tone taking a bit more friendly tone to it
(Dredge): You know as well as I do that you have a stash of the good stuff tucked away just in case you hit another rough patch.
Dredge glances around nervously
(Dredge): Do you really want to go this route with me man? I think you’re a bit smarter than Gravedigger then to get on my bad side right?
Dredge tries to nervously laugh it off
(Dredge): You know that you need me more now than ever before and I could use someone with your talents as my wing man. I've just been stressed out I didn't mean to offend you, you know how it goes we don't need to be enemies here we need to stick together as a unit not be torn apart.
Kevin takes a deep breath
(Legacy): And it doesn't help that I've been under all this pressure since I found out about having this cancerous tumor near my brain. Listen Michael, you know I got your back as well as Talon's and Gravedigger's. Just chill out and this whole thing with the big man will go away.
Dredge rubs his clean shaven chin with his gloved hand.
(Dredge): I hope so bro... Gravedigger has been coming at me with pot shots for awhile you know? I just had to finally put my foot down and let him know who he’s talking to... Coming out of that war with Logan has me a little shaken not to mention I thought you challenging me for the strap meant you were going to be a turn coat on me... I thought I lost you for sure after that match which is why I took a more aggressive demeaning stance against you. In truth man I didn't mean any of that sh1t I said about you being my underling and all it's really just talk man.
Dredge breaths out a sigh of relief as he speaks those words then holds his hand out.
(Dredge): I just want to know man that we are cool and on the same page, and you will do your best to keep Gravedigger under control... He's a bit of a hot head and just as much unpredictable I don't want him biting us on the ass and fucking all our plans up.
Kevin smiles and shakes Dredge's hand.
(Legacy): No hard feelings pal, I know that you had to do what you had to keep your strap and I respect that. I'd do the same if I were in your shoes and being one-half of the tag champs and a former Anarchy Champion I know the demands of being a champion. I'll talk to the big guy and see if I can defuse the situation.
(Dredge): Alright awesome. I just want us to be a collective unit again it seems things have began to fall apart over the last month; I'll see you in a bit Kev.
Kevin pats Dredge on the back.
(Legacy): Ok, see you in a bit champ.
Kevin and Michael part ways as the scene fades to ringside.

A large fireworks display erupts around the UA-tron as the sold out crowd is on their feet as ‘‘Injection’‘ by Rise Against blasts over the PA system. The fans are going insane as the camera pans across the sold out crowd. The camera stops for a moment in the front row as we see Katy Perry sitting at ringside smiling and applauding as the camera then cuts to ring side with the CRW commentary team!
(Kelly): Welcome everyone, this is CRW Face Off! We’re live here tonight from New York City and there is much drama here in the CRW world.
(Eli): That’s right Kelly. Just 10 days removed from CRW’s greatest Pay Per View Crucible we have been struck with more twist and turns than a daytime tv soap opera. Only thing missing is the evil twin.
(Kelly): For those of you unlucky to have missed out on the greatest pay per view in our company’s history we’ll try to do a short recap. Eddie Phoe –
Kelly Reyes is interrupted by the opening trumpets of “El Rey” by Vicente Fernandez. The CRW crowd goes wild as Diego de la Vega steps out onto the stage. He holds a microphone and is sporting casual clothes. He has his Apex Championship strapped across his waist.
(Eli): Didn’t think he would want to show his face … or mask … after coming so close to winning crucible. That’s the things with young guys you never know how they will handle defeat.
(Kelly): The heart that Diego showed in the crucible tournament should be an indication that he can handle anything. I wonder what’s on his mind for him to come out and speak.
Diego steps into the ring in a much more melancholic manner than the CRW is used to seeing. He stands in the center of the ring unable to speak at first which prompts chants from the CRW audience like “We still love you” and “Go Diego Go”
(Diego): Thank you. Muchas Gracias. They say there is no such thing as a good loss. They say that winning is everything. And they are right. A loss is a loss and a win is a win but I am damn proud of that loss. Two men gave it everything they had. I know some people have tried to argue in my defense and claim it was luck that the clock ran out. I can tell those people to stop because I am not ashamed of what happened in that ring. What happened in that ring was nothing short of a classic. Pero, that’s enough about the match I came out here tonight because I wanted to make it a point to congratulate this man first and too his face. Damas y Caballeros … Ladies and Gentlemen … the winner of the Crucible tournament … EDDIE PHEONIX!!!
“Amazing” by Kanye West blares through the arena speakers. The crowd noise is deafening as Eddie Phoenix steps out onto the stage from the curtain. He is bolstering a big smile along with an Occupy CRW T-Shirt. Fans are leaning across the rails just to get a handshake which Eddie obliges as most as possible.
(Kelly): Look at the way these fans are responding to Eddie. Have you ever seen anything like this Eli?
(Eli): You ever see me try to enter the building? It’s like a mob around me!
(Kelly): Right … sure they do Eli … sure they do
Eddie is now in the center of the ring just mere feet from Diego de la Vega. The CRW crowd erupts in a chant of “5 star match” and “You are awesome”. Eddie holds out his hand to silence the crowd for a moment as he reaches the mic up to his lips.
(Eddie): I got to say Diego … it takes a big man to do what you’re doing. This man pushed me to limits I didn’t know I had. I know you guys have been cheering your asses off but I need this man to know how much he is appreciated so let me hear that ‘Go Diego Go’ chant once more!!
The crowd responds with a boisterous chant of Go Diego Go.
(Diego): Thank you Eddie. But this isn’t about me. This is about you and what you have accomplished. You started a movement. You started Occupy CRW. You had to fight as hard just to get into the tournament as you did once you were in. Y pore so tienes mis respectos. You have my respect.
(Eddie): Thank YOU Diego. But enough with us kissing each other’s asses. This is about crucible and my chance to have a world title opportunity anytime, anywhere, anyplace. Hell for all I know, it might be tonight!
(Kelly): Tonight! You hear that Eli?
(Eli): Settle down girly he said maybe. Eddie should be smart about it and wait for the perfect opportunity.
(Eddie): But tonight’s not right. Tonight is all about vengeance. You see besides me winning Crucible last night it seems the other shoe hadn’t dropped just yet. Turns out the man keeping me out of Crucible was the same man that kept me out of CRW for months on end. Him and his little lap dogs think they can make it big on mine and Diego’s names. I say they want us so bad, they want the opportunity so bad, they bring their asses to this ring and get it on right now. What do you say Diego?
(Diego): ORALE!!
(Kelly): Wow both Diego and Eddie are fired up here tonight. They don’t want to wait till later in the night they are in a fighting mood right now.
(Eli): That kind of emotional energy can get you into some big trouble … and here comes trouble now!
Instead of Karl Sykes and Merlyn out comes Jack Bookman in a neatly cleaned pressed suit. He has a microphone in his hand and a very serious look on his face.
(Jack): Now, now gentleman. Karl nor Merlyn are here tonight yet so you two are going to have to put the cuckoo back in the clock and wait your turn. You boys wouldn’t be trying to ruin a main event would you. See that’s not good for business and if it’s not good for business it’s not good for me.
(Eddie): Oh yeah? Business huh? How about I take the business end of this microphone walk all the way up that ramp and shove it right up your ass!!
The crowd responds in a huge cheer at Eddie’s suggestion. Jack goes to answer but the crowd cuts him off by chanting ‘asshole’ asshole asshole’.
(Diego): I’m sorry Jack we didn’t quite catch that. There were 20,000 people calling you an asshole.
This only incites the crowd further into continuing the chant this time even louder at Jack Bookman.
(Jack): As I was saying … seeing a large fight happen right now wouldn’t be good for business. So I’m going to need both of you to calm yourselves down, get out of that ring and march right back to your dressing rooms.
(Diego): You know what Jack how about you shove it. I can’t believe I ever thought about putting my faith in a man like you. You’re two faced Jack and you’re no different than Talon or Dredge in their mad grab for power. You give a good speech but when it comes down to it you’re just an empty suit working in the name of the almighty dollar. You don’t understand what it means to give it everything you have just for a shot at glory. You don’t get what it means to be a fan of wrestling and trecking miles after miles after miles just to catch a glimpse of your favorite wrestler because you just want to know what it feels like to be that close to someone that great.
(Jack): You better be careful there Diego. I don’t appreciate that tone you’re using when addressing your Apex Division Manager. If you want to keep that spiffy title around your waist you better learn to mind your mouth because I put you in a position to succeed and I can damn sure put you out of your misery, just ask your friend Eddie there.
That’s all it takes for the Eddie Phoenix and Diego de la Vega to set them off. They jump out of the ring and start walking towards the ramp where Jack Bookman doesn’t even flinch. As they pass the ring and begging going up they are blindsided from behind by Karl Sykes and Merlyn.
(Kelly): Karl and Merlyn?!?! Where did they come from?!?
(Eli): Ol’ Jack here looks like he was fibbing a little.
Karl and Merlyn begin work on both men as they proceed to beat them down with fists and kicks. Karl delivers a stiff kick to the crown of Eddie’s head. Merlyn delivers knee strikes after knee strikes before sending De la Vega headfirst into the railing. Karl ask Merlyn to come over as they both irish whip Eddie into the steel steps at ring side shoulder first. Both men celebrate together as De la Vega begins to stir. They grab him together and drive him headfirst into the steel ring post. The crowd is incited into a violent roar of boo’s as both men deliver photogenic smiles as they walk upwards to the ramp.
(Jack): Like I was trying to tell you boys. A giant brawl wasn’t good for business. What will be good for business however is that if Merlyn and Mr. Sykes win tonight, then each man will be granted an Apex Championship match over the coming weeks…
(Kelly): …well folks, as Eddie and Diego collect themselves and get back to the back, lets take a moment to give you a quick rundown of tonight’s card.
(Eli): Tonight we’ve got some great tag team action! First, we’ll see William Draconis and girlfriend, Jasmine Lee take on the husband/wife combo of Black Death and Lisa Wallace.
(Kelly): This one should be fun E, mixed tag team action as the women are finally allowed to wrestle the men and show that they have what it takes!
(Eli): …Yeah well, we’ll discuss that issue later, because we’ve also got another tag team match tonight, when Eddie Phoenix and Diego de la Vega team up to take on The Predator Karl Sykes and Merlyn, I wonder if Smokehouse will be coming to the ring with them…
(Kelly): Smokehouse shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the ring tonight! This is a classic set up from Jack Bookman, and everyone here tonight knows it!
(Eli): Yeah, but what can you do? He’s a man of power, and we are just employees.
(Kelly): …Well Talon could step in.
(Eli): hahaha! Why would Talon do that?
(Kelly): He’s the owner of this company!
(Eli): Yeah, well he’s got his own problems to manage.
(Kelly): …Speaking of which, the main event tonight is going to be interesting as tension flairs between World Champion Michael Dredge, Tag Champ, Kevin Legacy, and Apex/Tag Champion, Gravedigger. Gravedigger must defend his Anarchy title against Justice Legal and both Dredge and Legacy will be at ringside in Digger’s corner.
(Eli): Gravedigger has bucked up a few times as of late, but Dredge continues to try to keep him in his place. If things get out of hand tonight, who knows what could happen!
(Kelly): Well, we’ll touch more on that and other matches tonight as we progress through the evening, but now it is time for our first contest!
(Announcer): The following contest is scheduled for one fall, first coming to the ring… Leon Corbin!
‘Nobody's Fool’ by Cinderella fills the arena. As the guitar winds through the intro the lighting dims slightly. Leon walks out with a sadistic grin on his face and his hood up. Stopping at the top of the stage he throws off the hood then takes in the fans abuse, slowly walking to ring. He stops at the bottom of the ramp before leaping onto the apron similar to the on one knee with other leg outstretched. Leon climbs into the ring through ropes and then climbs the turnbuckle, sitting there as he awaits his opponent.
(Eli): Look at this guy, is he even taller than the turnbuckles?
(Kelly): Even I have to say Leon Corbin doesn’t look like your traditional wrestler.
(Eli): You’re not kidding! In my heyday, he’d have been snapped like a twig.
(Announcer): and his opponent, T-Money!
The house lights fade to black as two sets of squad car lights pierce the darkness. The sound of a police siren and a few gun shots fill the air. "I'm A Boss Remix" by Meek Mill ft. T.I., Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne & DJ Khaled begins to boom through the PA while smoke fills the entryway. T-Money appears as a silhouette in the midst of it. From the stage, six shots of pyro are shot out above the crowd. T-Money steps through the smoke to a vast amount of cheers and boos and heads down the ramp. Bare chested and clad in jeans and Timberland boots, he slowly strolls to the ring. T-Money climbs the ring steps and stops for a moment to pose for the crowd. T-Money turns back to the ring, climbs through the ropes, and poses once again as his theme music fades out.
(Eli): Now this guy at least looks the part…
(Kelly): Well this is both these guys debut matches here in CRW so there’s no telling what might happen.
(Eli): Yeah but come on Kelly, if Emo Corbin wins this I’ll eat my own headset!
(Kelly): His name is Leon…
T-Money bounces off the turnbuckle as the ref calls for the bell but Leon still sits in his corner, cocking his head to the side as if sizing T-Money up. He finally hops down and is almost toe to toe with Money, the 7 inch height difference clear to see. T-Money has a cocky look on his face but Leon responds with a hard right hand that staggers him, Money rushes in lands a huge clothesline that floors Leon instantly. But he pops up quickly and T-Money drops him down again with a powerful clothesline but once again Leon is up quickly, shaking off the blows and as T-Money comes in once more Corbin ducks the clothesline, comes off the ropes and drop kicks him in the back. T-Money stumbles forward and Leon gets up again and charges at him, ramming a knee into his back that drops T-Money onto his knees. Leon runs against the ropes once more and looks for an early Breaking the Curse (super kick to kneeling opponent) but T-Money explodes up and crushes Corbin with a spine buster. He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.…….2.….. But Corbin just kicks out.
(Eli): Oh my god this one won’t last long.
(Kelly): Corbin looks in a lot of trouble early doors.
(Eli): T-Money is almost toying with him here!
T-Money is quick to grab Leon back to his feet, he looks to scoop him up but Corbin fights back with an elbow strike to the gut. T-Money absorbs it but releases Corbin long enough for him to dive between his legs and roll him up, the ref looks for the pin but Corbin just gets up looks to lock in a figure four leg lock but Money escapes, rolling back to his feet as Corbin comes in with a serious of kicks to his legs and body. He manages to back Money back into the corner and takes a few steps and looks for a jumping Yakuza Kick back T-Money catches him but before he can do anything Corbin counters impressively and manages to lock Money into the tarantula submission hold. T-Money is yelling in pain as the ref starts the count 1.……. Corbin takes no notice and seems to me enjoying it…2.…… Money is in great pain but can’t escape but he still refuses to tap … 3.………4.……..Corbin lets go and Money slumps to the floor as Leon hops to the top of the turnbuckle and jumps off with the “Psychosia” (Diving double footstomp/Warriors way) to T-Moneys face. His nose instantly explodes into a bloody mess and Leon goes for the pin and the ref counts 1.…….2.… but T-Money gets a shoulder up.
(Kelly): Credit to Corbin he’s managed to get himself back into this match, and he’s drawn first blood.
(Eli): It won’t last Kelly; it looks like he’s just pissed T-Money off.
Leon gets up and instantly starts stomping T-Money in the face but the ref backs him up, checking on Money. He shrugs the ref off and gets to his feet, he looks pissed and tells Corbin to bring it. Leon obliges but he walks right into a big boot by the much taller T-Money. He tries to bounce straight back up but T-Money anticipates it and drills him down with a running bulldog. He rolls Corbin over an looks to snap him two as he locks the small man into a Boston Crab. Leon is in a lot of agony as T-Money roars, yanking back. Fortunately for Corbin he’s quite close to the ropes and he reaches out his finger touching it but he can’t quite grasp it. The ref is asking is he gives in but he replies with ‘Fuck You’ and manages to wrap his fingers around the bottom rope. The ref counts 1.…..2.……3.. And T-Money releases the hold. Corbin is still on the deck in a lot of pain, his hand nursing his lower back when T-Money yanks him to his feet and plants him down emphatically with the “Money Maker” (Reverse Cradle DDT). He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.…….2.……. But NO! Corbin somehow kicks out.
(Eli): Damn! This little guy doesn’t know when to quit!
(Kelly): You can say that again but what a move by T-Money.
T-Money can’t quite believe it but he is up and he climbs to the top rope and waits as Leon slowly gets to his feet. He finally turns and spots T-Money flying towards him looking for a flying spinning heel kick and manages to duck underneath the attack. But somehow T-Money adjusts himself and lands on his feet, drawing a pop from the crowd. His momentum takes him into the opposite corner where he grabs the ropes and lets out a sigh of relief. He turns just in time to get planted by a Yakuza Kick. He falls back and is sitting in the corner when Corbin comes back in and hits a running Corner Facewash. T-Money looks like he could be out cold as Leon struggles to pull him to his feet. He finally looks to set him up for the Eternal Chaos (Gods last gift/package DDT) but T-Money isn’t done for yet as he powers out with a back drop but Leon has a long way to fall and manages to land on his feet, he steadies himself before hitting a chop block on Money. Big Money falls to his knees and Leon again darts in front of him, but before he can mount an attack Money lunges forward and connects with a big flying spinning heel kick!
Leon hits the mat hard and Money covers him!
...1!
...2!
...3!
The bell rings as T-Money gets to his feet and raises his arms in victory.
(Announcer): Here is your winner... T-Money!
(Kelly): an impressive debut for both men I would say.
(Eli): T-Money dug deep there at the end, connecting with that well timed heel kick, and as a result, he picks up his first CRW win!
As Money celebrates, Corbin puts his hands on his head, covering his ears as the fans cheer. He suddenly seems to snap, getting to his feet and drop kicking T-Money in the back on the knees.
Money collapses and Corbin doesn’t waste a second as he stomps the back of Money’s head before expertly locking in the Soul Drain (Cattle Mutilation). Corbin grins in delight as he has the move locked in tight and Money yells in pain. The ref yells for Leon to release him, but Leon seems intent on inflicting pain.
The camera cuts to the front row were several fans are booing, but one girl, Holly, is still on the Leon Corbin band wagon. She smiles with delight as Leon is finally pried off of Money and exits the ring.
(Kelly): Wow... some really ruthless aggression there from Corbin.
(Eli): I didn’t know the little guy had it in him!
Leon and Money each head toward the back as the cameras cut backstage…
The scene fades in backstage, where the camera shows the nameplate on a locker room door that reads 'BUDDY ZENT'. Groaning can be heard from inside extremely loud, as the camera zooms out, revealing the entire door.
"Oh...damn" is heard softly, from inside the opposing room.
"Oh...yeah!" follows, as the camera moves closer to the door.
"Oh Rachel, you make my inside go all gooey..."
The door opens, revealing Buddy Zent, in just a towel, licking the insides of a Rachel's Rice yogurt pot.
"I get this imported all the way from London" says Zent, licking his lips, "it's just so damn delicious!!"
"Mmmm, mmm, MMMM!!" mumbles the 24-year-old, moving over to the mirror, revealing his super-white teeth. He looks closely, cleaning them with his tongue before flashing a goofy smile.
"Damn these babies gleam!" he remarks, now moving over to his wardrobe.
He opens it, revealing six identical pairs of trunks, hanging perfectly. They are from left to right, hot pink, love red, electric blue, scarlet violet, caramel gold and emerald green.
"Hmmmm..." he ponders, before grabbing the hot pink pair.
"Pink to makes the girls wink!" he remarks, laughing to himself.
"Now what about a jacket?" he asks, moving over to the next wardrobe.
He opens it, revealing six identical blazer jackets, hanging perfectly. They are from left to right, hot pink, love red, electric blue, scarlet violet, caramel gold and emerald green.
He taps his lips with his fingers, wandering which one to choose.
He moves in, before pulling away, twiddling his fingers on his lips once more.
He goes for another, but doesn't commit, pulling away and taking a step back.
Finally, he smiles, with his mind made up.
"It's got to be pink!" he says excitably, grabbing the blazer and throwing it over his shoulder.
"Time for a shower," says Zent as he starts to scout about the locker room.
"Now where did I put that apple body scrub?!"
The scene fades, as Zent looks frantically around his perfectly organized locker room.
,,,the camera cuts back to ringside where Kelly and Eli are sitting, each with an amused look on their faces.
(Eli): What in the blue hell was that?!
(Kelly): …I don’t know, but I think I like it!
(Eli): Oh come on, Kelly. First Eddie Phoenix and now this Lent kid?
(Kelly): Its ZENT, Eli… Zent.
(Eli): …Man, sometimes I miss ole Mike Conway.
(Kelly): …uuugh, well any ways folks, I am just getting word in now that one of our matches tonight will not be taking place.
(Eli): what? Which one?
(Kelly): Well, apparently there was some sort of travel snafu involved in The Wallace families flight from Las Vegas and they have not arrived in New York yet, so tonight’s mixed tag team match has been awarded by forfeit to William Draconis and Jasmine Lee.
(Eli): wow, so an easy win tonight for Dragon and Lee.
(Kelly): true, but knowing their competitive spirits, I’m sure they would have rather had the match and shown off their tag team skills.
(Eli): well, maybe they can next week?
(Kelly): Maybe so, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. You have to know that Jasmine can not be happy about all of this, she’s had her last two matches cancelled, and that has to be weighing on her.
(Eli): Yeah, but hey that’s life… anyways, lets get to a real match then eh?
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall, first coming to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada… “The Pretty Boy” Chris Mosh!
“We will rock you” by Armageddon fills the sound system. A smiling Chris Mosh walks out and the camera gets a close up. He walks down the ramp winking at all the pretty girls, he then stops at the steps and looks around… the entire arena boos the vein star as he spots the 5 girls that make up the Chris Mosh fan club… he walks over to them and poses and then slowly he walks up the steps. He jumps over the ropes and spins to the middle of the ring where he show off his body.
(Announcer): and his opponent, from Edinburgh, Scotland… Logan Neilson!
Blue smoke rises and fills the entrance stage, and two white pyro’s go off creating an X through the smoke as “Idols and Anchors" by Parkway Drive starts playing. Just as the St Andrews cross starts to fade the music stops silent for a second. Another explosion of pyro’s goes off as the song kicks in again and Logan Neilson swaggers confidently onto the stage and the crowd go crazy and he raises his fist in response. He stops at the top of the aisle as the music settles again and the main riff starts to play, he nods his head along, pumping himself up and when the crescendo hits he bursts to life and sprints straight down to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope. He pops to his feet immediately as the crowd chant his name and music slowly fades out while Logan stares down his opponent.
(Kelly): Listen to this crowd Eli!
(Eli): I hear them, I think they are just trying to make him feel better about that embarrassing loss to Michael Dredge.
(Kelly): Oh please! Dredge only won because that ass hole Chris Titan attacked Logan.
(Eli): Speaking of him, I’ve heard some rumors about why he attacked Logan the other night.
(Kelly): Oh yeah?
(Eli): …Yep, but I’m not sharing.
The bell rings and both men lock up. The fans are solidly behind Logan as he quickly gets Mosh into a side headlock. Mosh immediately uses his left hand to rake Logan’s eyes, releasing the hold, allowing Mosh to quickly roll him up!
Before the ref can even attempt to make a count, Logan kicks out and gets to his feet quickly, but Mosh stays on his game connecting with a well placed drop kick sending Logan right back to the mat. The fans stay behind Logan as he gets to his feet and Mosh goes for a super kick! Logan catches the leg as the fans cheer. Mosh waves his arms as Logan smiles and spins him around, grabbing him in a full nelson and slams him with the “Full Neilson” Logan covers him as the ref counts!
…1!
…2!
But Mosh kicks out.
(Kelly): near fall there for Logan, he really planted Mosh there!
(Eli): Being an old school wrestler, I really love that move from Logan.
Logan gets up and stalks Mosh, once he turns to face him, Logan runs him over and pounces on him with the Blast Beat! The fans count along as Logan smashes the Pretty Boy’s face with a flurry of hard shots. The ref orders Logan off, and the Scotsman grants the request as he gets back to his feet and waits for Mosh to do the same.
Mosh gets to his feet and Logan charges at him but Mosh quickly drops down, pulling the top rope down at the same time sending Logan spilling head first over the top rope! Logan hits the ground hard, instantly grabbing his shoulder on impact.
(Kelly): Oh no, this isn’t good for Logan, he’s already aggravated that bad shoulder.
(Eli): I don’t think he should really be competing tonight, a torn up shoulder is nothing to take lightly, if he tears something he could require surgery.
Mosh gets to his feet as the fans boo, he strikes a quick pose while Logan remains on the outside, holding his already injured shoulder.
The fans begin to chant “Lets go Logan” as he begins to get back to his feet. Mosh sees Logan getting up and decides to go for another quick strike, he hits the ropes and goes for a baseball slide, but Logan side steps him and jerks him from the ring! The fans get louder as Logan begins to unload hard punch after punch that send the Pretty Boy rocking backwards. Mosh ducks a shot from Logan and shoves him back and quickly runs and slides back into the ring. Logan gives chase but as he slides back in, Mosh stomps his shoulder and quickly drops down, locking in a seated armbar!
Logan is in serious pain as he gets his foot on the ropes to break the hold! Mosh refuses to release the hold until the last second of the refs 5 count. The fans boo again as Mosh raises both arms and calls for the end of the match… Logan gets to his feet and Mosh grabs him, looking for the “MoshPlex” (Fisherman suplex w/ bridge). Mosh hits the move and the ref counts!
…1!
…2!
…but Logan kicks out!
Mosh yells at the referee as he feels the count was slow! The fans are getting louder and louder as they see Logan get to his feet, he stands behind Chris Mosh who is still arguing the count with the ref! Logan takes two steps back and nods his head repeatedly as the crowd urges him on, Mosh turns around and Logan connects with a big time “MIA” (Trouble In Paradise) the fans are going wild as Mosh hits the mat but … suddenly, screaming metal blares from the PA as "The Gears" by Dethklok blasts and the roar of an engine is heard as Mosh, Logan turn and look toward the entrance way to see a midnight black 1967 Ford Thunderbird speed out of the back and stop at the bottom of the entry ramp.
(Kelly): alright… now what in the hell is this?!
(Eli):… that’s a 67 Thunderbird honey!
(Kelly): .. I mean what the world is it doing out here?!
The engine revs as Dethklok continues to blast on the PA, Chris Titan steps out of the car and climbs on the hood. Titan raises his arms as pyro shoots up from the stage. The music stops and Titan jumps down off of the car and glares at Logan who is shouting at him from inside the ring...
(Eli): Uh oh… It’s Titan!
(Kelly): Why is it he can only come out to face Logan when Logan’s already been fighting? What a coward!
(Eli): Maybe it’s the only time Logan will come out of hiding to face him?!
(Kelly): Oh please Eli, Logan Neilson wouldn’t hide from anything!
(Eli): He better watch out!
Right then, as Logan still faces Titan who is at his car still, Mosh comes at Logan from behind and rolls him up!
…1!
…2!
But Logan kicks out!
Mosh stays on the attack as Katy Perry jumps over the guard rail and heads up the ramp where Titan is still standing.
(Kelly): what is Katy Perry doing?!
(Katy): "What are you doing here?"
(Titan): "You didn't tell him about us did you?"
(Katy): "Is that what this is about?! You're here to get me back?"
(Titan): "Hell no, I'm just here looking out for you like I always did growing up."
(Katy): "I dont need your help"
(Titan): "Oh, like you didn't need it with Russell right?”
"That is not fair." Katy said quietly, but it can still be heard on camera…
As Logan knocks Mosh to the ground he looks up to see Titan and Katy still arguing, he climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp. Titan sees him coming and begins to taunt him.
"Oh you want some more huh?" Titan yells as Logan takes a run at him only to have Titan step aside and blast him with across the shoulder with a wrench!
DING DING DING!
(Eli): That should be a disqualification for sure!
(Kelly): Oh no, Logan’s already injured shoulder just got blasted with that big steel wrench!
(Eli): …That’s a low move there! I might be ok with cutting corners in the ring, but you don’t come out here, without ever having a match and try to end a guys career!
Logan drops to a knee but quickly fights off the intense pain as he tries to attack Titan but Titan avoids him and slam him face first into the hood of the car. Katy backs away screaming as Titan knees Logan in the stomach and tosses him into the guard rail, Logan takes a swing at Titan but he ducks and back drops Logan on to the hood of the car.
(Kelly): Titan is picking Logan apart here, someone needs to get out here and kick Chris Titan out of the builing!
Titan climbs on top of the car and stomps Logan's chest. He smiles and pulls Logan to the top of the car by his hair as Katy pleads with him to stop, but Titan bends Logan back and nails him with “Overdrive” (Cross Rhodes), driving Logan's head and shoulder into the top of the car! Titan jumps down from the car and heads to the ring walking past Katy as the fans boo loudly!
(Eli): Well, he’s at least stopped now… but what was he yelling at Katy about before he attacked Logan?
(Kelly): I have no idea, but someone needs to help Logan. I think his shoulder may be seriously injured!
Logan slowly gets to his feet, but he clutches his shoulder tightly to his body as Katy tries to get close to him to help him. He is in a lot of pain as he drops back down to one knee, cursing loudly as two medical team members come out from the back to help him back and get checked out.
The fans are chanting “Ass Hole” at Titan as Logan and Katy make their way to the locker room with the medical staff and Chris Mosh leaves the ringside area as well, arguing with the referee that he should have won by way of a count out.
Titan stands in the ring, the fans still harassing him as Jasmine Locklear also enters the ring with a microphone.
(Jasmine): "Chris Titan, let me be the first to say….why are you here?"
Chris grabs the mic out of Jasmine's hand and runs her out of the ring. The fans boo louder as he finally speaks.
(Titan): "Hey Logan, she may not have told you the whole truth but I will. Your Katy, she was mine before she was yours! In fact, she was mine before she was ANYONE else’s! Don't get it twisted Logan, I'm not here for her, she's yours, you can have her. Truth be told, I never liked any of Katy's boyfriends, they always end up breaking her heart. I want you to know this Logan, I'll break your neck before you get that chance!"
The fans continue to chant “ass hole, ass hole” as Titan continues.
(Titan): "I'm gonna lay down the challenge Logan, Me against whatever is left of you… any time, ANY PLACE! I'll finish you off myself and make sure you never forget the name, Chris Titan!"
Titan drops the mic and walks back to his car, revving it up and driving it back behind the entrance stage as the cameras cut back to Kelly and Eli at ringside…
(Kelly):…I can’t believe what we just heard.
(Eli): See, my source was right. Titan and Katy were apart of that “teenage dream” back in the day.
(Kelly): did you just make a Katy Perry pun?
(Eli): …So what if I did?
(Kelly): Its just… weird.
(Eli): What, I kissed a hot and cold california girl and I liked it, it was almost Extraterrestrial.
(Kelly): …Oh God, folks, we are sending it backstage where our camera’s have caught up with Logan and the medical trainers.
The camera cuts backstage where Logan is in the medical room. He is yelling in pain, clutching his right shoulder as Katy tries to calm him down. A member of the medical team comes over.
(EMT): Logan, you will need to go to the hospital so tests can be done to see the extent of the damage. I can give you some painkillers now if you want?
(Logan): Nah… arrrgh…. I’ve got some in ma locker room.
(EMT): Okay, if you’re sure…
Katy comes over and says something to the member of the medical staff and he leaves. She turns back to Logan who is sitting on a gurney looking frustrated.
(Katy): I told them I’d take you to the hospital…
(Logan): Good… ‘Cause we need tae talk.
She remains silent, hoping that they could leave this until later.
(Logan): You didnae think tae tell me that ye used tae date that clown?
(Katy): What difference does it make, Logan?! It’s you I care about… Saying anything would … just…
(Logan): It would just be honest, Katy! That’s what it would be…. Jesus Christ!!!
(Katy): Okay, I’m sorry! Calm down!
Logan looks at her as he grabs his shoulder again.
(Logan): Nah, that wasnae at you…
He nods at his arm.
(Logan): Look. It doesnae matter right now. Just a bit of a shock…
(Katy): I know… I should have told you.
Logan tries to shrug it off then flinches and lets out a whine of pain.
(Logan): Uurrgh… It’s fine, get me painkillers and I’ll forgive ye!
She giggles and helps him to his feet, even though he can walk fine, and they leave the room as the camera cuts back to ringside.
(Kelly): Well Logan looks like he’ll be alright Eli, but he really looks beat up.
(Eli): He needs some rest to let that arm heel, but if he’s going to keep on trying to be a hero and an iron man, he’s going to find out that once things like that get seriously injured, they never really heal the same way again.
(Announcer): This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from parts unknown, weighing in at 220 pounds, Daniel Fury!
"Renegade" by Styx begins to play while the lights dim slightly.
Oh Mama Im in fear for my life from the long arm of the law.
Fans stand up and start to rumble.
Lawman has put an end to my running and Im so far from my home
The crowd starts to cheer as they recognize the familiar tune.
Oh Mama I can hear you crying your so scared and all alone.
A search light pans around the arena.
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I dont have very long
Everything goes black for a half second until the song screams "YEAH!"
The lights come back on full force as a large plume of silver pyro explodes above the entrance ramp and the song kicks in full force!
The fans cheer loudly as Daniel Fury stands in the cloud left by the pyro in his ring gear ready for action. Fury raises his left arm in the air to a loud reaction before running and sliding under the bottom rope, popping to his feet quickly and climbing the nearest turnbuckle, pumping up the fans before returning to the center of the ring. He tests the ropes and performs a quick silent prayer before the match begins.
(Announcer): And his opponent, from Seattle Washington, weighing in at 325 pounds, Lucas “Sandman” Payne!
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena then begins to glow with red lights as Bloodline by Slayer plays through the PA system. Smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the ramp, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke and makes his way to the ring.
(Eli): well this one should be interesting, on one side of the ring you have Daniel Fury, hot rookie sensation who has looked good since debuting a few weeks ago, and on the other side of the ring, you have the most dominant Anarchy Champion to date in CRW, and now he’s “Unleashed” as he himself has said recently. Payne is a man that if I had to pick “one” man who would be a sure bet to be a World Champion in 2012, I would choose the Sandman, he has all the characteristics, the physical make up, the moves, the speech, and the determination and focus to win any match he is in. I would LOVE to see him face Michael Dredge one on one.
(Kelly): wow Eli, that’s a big praise there… whoa, here we go!
Fury darts at Payne as he finishes stepping over the top rope. Fury dropkicks Payne’s leg as Payne goes down; he gets right back up and Fury does it again. Payne goes down again and gets right back up. Fury off the ropes and hit’s a spinning heel kick. Payne goes down again and gets right back up. Fury goes for a dropkick to the knee again but Payne moves and then hit’s an elbow drop to the back of the head to Fury. Payne gets up and starts kicking Fury as he begins to get up. Payne hits a DDT on Fury before he can make it to his feet, putting him down again.
(Kelly): Fury trying to make this match a fast paced bout, but he went to the well one too many times and Payne gets the better of him.
(Eli): The stereotypical, technical big man vs. aerial small man… Not the case here, Lucas Payne is more than just a big man, he’s like a Small Forward in the NBA.
Payne picks up Fury and sends him to the ropes; Fury comes off and gets hit with a spine buster slam. Payne goes for the pin!
…..1!
.…………2!
.…………KICK OUT!
Payne picks up Fury and sets him up for a power bomb. As Payne picks Fury up, Fury reverses and hits a hurricanrana. The momentum takes Payne to the outside, and Fury shoots off the ropes and leaps to the top rope. Payne turns around and Fury hits him with a shooting star press. Fury taunts the crowd as he slides into the ring. The count begins after Fury slides in…
….1
.………….2
.………….3
.……………..4
.…………..5
(Kelly): Fury reverses the power bomb into a hurricanrana and then hits a shooting star press to Payne on the outside, that is phenomenal!
(Eli): Payne might just be counted out here after that vicious dive!
Payne begins to get up at 6 and makes it to his feet by 7, as he turns around Fury nails him with a suicide dive through the ropes. Fury rolls back into the ring as Payne slaps the mat in frustration as he begins to get up. Payne gets up and Fury goes for a suicide dive through the ropes again but Payne catches him. Payne gorilla presses Fury over the top rope into the ring. Payne slides into the ring and Fury is up and climbs the ropes, doing a moonsault, Payne gets up and Fury hits the moonsault on Payne. Fury stays on him for the pin!
……………1

.…………..Payne throws Fury off of him. Fury bounces off the ropes again and as Payne gets up, and hits a huge standing clothesline that nearly takes Fury out of his boots!
Payne for the pin
….1
.………………..2
.………………KICK OUT!!!!!!
(Kelly): Wow, after Fury hit the moonsault and a two count, but gets pressed off by Payne, then Payne hits a huge clothesline, but only for another two count.
Payne gets to his feet and sizes Fury up. Daniel turns and ducks another clothesline, but as he hits the ropes and launches through the air with a springboard roundhouse kick, Lucas drives a big boot into his face and drops him to the mat! The fans are stunned as Lucas lifts Daniel’s lifeless body up and drives him into the mat with the Dark Slumber and covers him!
…1!

(Announcer): Here is your winner, Lucas Payne!
(Eli): SEE, I told you he was dominant!
(Kelly): a very big win for Lucas here tonight. Eli, I know Lucas better than most in CRW, I’ve done countless interviews with him. I know he’s a future world champion, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next here in CRW.
As Lucas makes his way up the ramp, the referee helps Daniel Fury back up to his feet and escorts him out as well… Once everyone has cleared the ringside area, the camera cuts backstage to Eddie Phoenix’s Locker Room.
The locker room is completely trashed, with Eddie’s clothes tossed around the room like a tornado has ripped through it. The camera pans around as an unknown figure sits in the corner. The camera gets closer as suddenly the door to the locker room opens and Eddie walks in.
(Eddie): …what the hell?!
Eddie looks around and see the man and quickly grabs him, turning him around to reveal a strange Hobo in an Occupy CRW t-shirt
(Eddie): What are you doing man? I would have gave you some money…
The man doesn’t speak.. he simply stares at Eddie and looks down at the sign around his neck.
Eddie’s eyes grow wide as he reads the sign.
“Ed, See if you can Make him famous TOO… - Merlyn”
Eddie looks around in disbelief as we cut back to ringside…
The intro to "Deeper Underground" by Jamiroquai plays on the sound system as lights flash across the arena. As the intro builds, gold sparks fill the entrance, building suspense. Slowly, rising from below, Buddy Zent appears, arms crossed with a screw face. The music crashes and his smile breaks out, exploding on his way to the ring, oozing with charisma. He’s wearing hot pink pants and matching blazer, hair slicked back. He slaps the fans hands in quick succession before sliding into the ring, stalling for a split second, before hopping to his feet.
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, bouncing over to the ropes, raising the microphone in the air.
The crowd mumble, making no real noise, as Zent looks upset.
(Zent): "Come on! Where's everyone's spirit?! When I ask you whether you're having a delicious day, you're suppose to shout back, 'I AM' really loud, to get things going! Let's start again."
Zent lowers the microphone, circles the ring, urging the young fans at the front to join in, raring with encouragement.
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, raising the microphone to the crowd again.
"...I am..." is heard quietly, from a few kids at the front and the middle of the arena.
Zent smiles, "that's better." he says to the crowd, flashing a goofy smile. "Now, once I've asked you if you've had a delicious day and you say I am, then, I'm gonna ask you if you want to hear what I've got to say, and you reply, yes man! Got it? Okay let's go from the beginning!!"
Zent circles the ring once more, urging the crowd to get involved, as a select few start to take a liking to him.
(Eli): "This guy defiantly doesn’t lack enthusiasm..”
"WHOSE HAVING A DELICIOUS DAY?!" he shouts, bouncing over to the ropes, raising the microphone to the arena.
"..I AM!!" the crowd respond, causing Zent to stumble back, shocked by the response, producing a goofy smile.
Struggling to get his words out, he raises the microphone again.
(Zent): "WHO WANTS TO HEAR, WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY?!"
"YES MAN!" the arena roar, to an over-excited Zent.
(Zent): "This is GREAT!! Even more amazing than it went in my head! Now! We are halfway there! Next, once I've asked you if you've had a delicious day and you say I am, then I ask you if you want to hear what I've got to say and you say yes man, THEEENNN, I’m going to ask you guys what my name is and you shout back Buddy Zent!! Got it? Good! From the top!!"
Taking a few breaths in, Zent relaxes, before raising the microphone.
(Zent): "WHOSE HAVING A DELI CIOUS DAY?!"
"I AM!" the crowd roar!
(Zent): "WHO WANTS TO HEAR WHAT IVE GOT TO SAY?!"
(Crowd): "YES MAN!"
(Zent): “WHATS MY NAME??”
(Crowd): “BUDDY ZENT!”
(Zent): “AND I AM THE! MAIN EVENT!!!”
The crowd roar, enjoying Zent’s enthusiasm. He smiles, popping around the ring, pointing and winking at the crowd.
(Zent): "That's right people, my name is, Buddy Zent, And I am THE! MAIN EVENT!!"
“I’ve got the moves, and I’ve got the shoes, I’ve got the looks and I’ve read the books, I’m not vile, because I’ve got the smile!”
“But most importantly, what you guys have to remember is that I, AM, SPECIAL!”
He explodes with a cheesy smile, raising both arms beside him as the crowd respond with a few cheers.
(Zent): “I have come to Code Red Wrestling to entertain YOU, to turn this federation around and make it SPECIAL.”
“Two weeks to this day, I was sitting at home, watching this very show, and I was BORED. Where were the bright lights, the close fights, the big moves, the shiny shoes?! The huge slams, the cheering fans, the silky hair, where, where, WHERE, WAS THE BUZZ IN THE AIR?!”
“There was none, and I was done, I was so bored I started thinking about my Dad’s Ford.”
“This, HAS to CHANGE!” And this WILL change.”
“And there’s one, defying reason, why sparks are about to fly, and this place will turn from dry, to my OH MY, and begin to ELECTRIFY!”
“And that reason IS…”
“BECAUSE MY NAME IS! BUDDY ZENT…”
“And I am THE! MAIN EVENT!”
His music hits and the crowd pop for Zent as he flashes a goofy smile. Quickly jumping out the ring, he pulls a Sharpie’s marker from his hot pink pants. He signs a couple of autographs and poses for a few photos. The crowd are in awe of his enthusiasm, as he makes his way up the ramp.
(Eli): “This guy defiantly has a few catch phrases, that’s for sure!”
Zent stands at the top of the ramp, arms in the air, smiling to the crowd. He looks around once more, with a sparkle in his eye. He turns, making his way to the back, as his music fades and the show cuts to the commentators table.
(Eli): “I like this guy!!”
(Kelly): “He’s defiantly an acquired taste.”
(Eli): : “I wonder if he’ll be in the main event tonight!”
(Kelly): “Somehow I don’t think so.”
(Eli): “I can’t wait to see this guy in the ring!”
(Kelly): “Well earlier tonight I would have said the same thing but now… hmmm, He defiantly has a lot to live up to, but, now, up next, we have a big time tag match folks…
