Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc.
…and Massif Mountain Gear and Atlanco
Live from Bronx, New York
The scene cuts and shows the face Fernando Yogurtez against the night’s sky. The camera zooms out and reveals the car park entrance where he paces up and down with his hands behind his back. The entrance is clear as Yogurtez scouts the approaching road, preparing for unexpected trespassers that may attempt to enter the arena. Suddenly, an Audi A3 is seen in the distance, driving towards the entrance. Yogurtez locks his eyes firmly on the car, but the windows are tinted. As the vehicle slows to a halt by the barrier, Yogurtez is just inches away, ready to inspect the passenger.
(Yogurtez): (Knocking on the window) “Why dow ween’do plea, senior.”
Slowly, the tinted window winds down, revealing “The Main Event” Buddy Zent.
(Buddy Zent): “Fernando, ma amigo! How’s it going friend?”
Yogurtez’s expression turns to instant anger as he lowers his head and presses the radio.
(Yogurtez): “Eh, seex zero seex zero, com een.”
(Buddy Zent): “Woah, woah, woah! Fernando, what you doing my good man?”
(Yogurtez): “No! No entri toonaigh, you disraspec my pewhole.”
Zent grabs the hand of Yogurtez and cups it with his other, winking at the security guard.
(Buddy Zent): “Fernando, Fernando, I think we can be friends, don’t you?”
Zent pulls his hand away and Yogurtez clenches his fist. He smiles, and nods his head.
(Buddy Zent):” Oh, and Fernando…”
Zent flicks his hand, to which Yogurtez responds and moves his head close to the window. He whispers into the guards ear and then smiles.
(Buddy Zent): “Keep up the good work Fernando.”
With that, the barrier lifts and Zent pulls away into the car park. The camera cuts from Zent and shows the face of Yogurtez who is smiling. He flicks his head and starts to patrol once more, although this time, with a noticeable kick in his step.
The scene cuts from outside as we start the nights events…
A very long video package of the past six months of CRW begins to play to the song “Raise your Weapon” by Deadmau5 begins to play… the fans sing along with the song as they watch the action and the drama that has unfolded since the CRW’s inception last year. As the video and song comes to a conclusion, the video fades…

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 spots several big names in New York in the front row ringside seating, including Rap Icons Jay Z and Kanye West. The fans are on their feet, their signs held high as we go to the ringside commentary team.
(Eli): Welcome everyone to Friday Night Face Off!
(Kelly): Tonight guys and gals, we have a hot show! Zent vs. Corbin, Draconis vs. Mosh, Fury vs. Ambrosi, Phoenix vs. Sykes, Diego vs. Merlyn, and to top it all off the main event is for the tag titles as Gravedigger and Justice Legal take on Michael Dredge and Kevin Legacy!
(Eli): It’s a great line up, that’s for sure… so lets not waste anytime tonight Kelly, its time… its Time!....its FACE OFF TIME!
(Kelly): …E, did you just Vader me?
(Kelly): First up on the card though we have the heated rivalry between William Draconis and Chris Mosh. What are your thoughts on this 2 out of 3 falls match?
(Eli): Both will need to pace themselves. This match is about endurance as much as it is about pinfalls. You might end up gassing yourself getting that first pin only to lose out on the next two.
(Kelly): That was actually technically sound unbiased advice. I’m impressed Eli. I got to go with the powerhouse William Draconis in this match though.
(Eli): The Dragon used to be a powerhouse and intimidating but ever since he grew his mangina and hooked up with Jasmine Lee he’s been a real waste of talent. Chris Mosh pulls it out tonight folks.
(Kelly): I spoke too soon, serves me right. Let’s head to the ring and get ready for some action.
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s opening contest is a best two out of three falls match, where in order to win the match, you must secure two falls over your opponent. Falls can be scored via pinfall, submission, count out, and/or disqualification… First coming to the ring, being accompanied to the ring by Jasmine Lee… From Dallas, Texas and weighing in at 295 lbs… William…”The Dragon” …Draconis!
“Nautral Born Killer'' by Avenged Sevenfold hits the arena and a video clip of the General Lee jumping. He jumps around gets on his knees at the head of the ramp pointing to him as fireballs shoot off in the air. He jumps up and heads slowly to the ring, where he enters dancing and posing to the crowd. He gets down in an HBK stance, flexing his biceps as pyro shoots off
(Kelly): Is it me or does Draconis have a look of determined. That’s a pretty mean scowl on his face.
(Eli): Even more importantly no Jasmine Lee. Maybe William is taking this seriously after all.
(Announcer):and his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at 200 lbs, “Pretty Boy” … Chris Mosh!
“I want it all/we will rock you” by Armageddon blares from the arena speakers. Draconis turns his attention to the top of the ramp awaiting Chris Mosh. However, Mosh is nowhere to be found. The music continues but no one steps out onto the stage. Draconis confused turns to the referee and asks him what is going on. Suddenly, Mosh is seen coming from the crowd and crouching near the ring. Draconis is still unaware of his presence as he is occupied with the referee. Mosh slips into the ring holding a lead pipe spins Draconis around nails him with it across the skull. The referee begins yelling at Mosh about his behavior but he disregards it continuing his attack on William Draconis. He nails him repeatedly with the pipe in the ribs. Finally the ref is able to get Mosh to stop and remove the pipe from the ring.
(Kelly): How could Mosh do that? That means he get’s DQ’d and loses the first fall!
(Eli): Wrong Kelly. You can’t get DQ’d before the match starts. I told you that brains beats out brawn.
The referee sends Mosh into the corner as he flashes his winning smile which incites the crowd to shower him with boos. The ref tries to get Draconis some medical attention but he shoves the ref off. He awkwardly props himself up on the corner trying to get his senses back. He is clearly dazed and confused but yells at the referee to ring the damn bell. Blood trickles down into the eyes of Draconis as the bell rings and Mosh charges at him beating him with punches repeatedly into the corner. Draconis shoves him off but Mosh comes right back again delivering right hands to the body and lefts to the head. Mosh takes a step back to gloat to the crowd as Draconis is cowering in the corner. Mosh heads back to Draconis in the corner who grabs him by the head and brings him out to the center of the ring and delivers a stiff right hand. Mosh plays up to the crowd again pointing and laughing at Draconis. He goes to strike him again with a right hand but it is blocked and gets kicked in the gut. Draconis lifts him up to deliver the Dragon’s Fury (F-5) but Mosh delivers elbow strikes right to the temple in order to escape. Draconis releases Mosh get’s turned around and get’s hit with the Moshplex (Fisherman Suplex) locking his hands and securing the first pinfall of the match.
(Eli): The first pinfall is the most important. Now all the pressure is on William to secure two pin falls in a row and I just don’t see him muscling his way to a win.
(Kelly): Oh come one! That first pinfall was tainted and Mosh had no business winning it with those cheap tactics. He doesn’t deserve it!
(Eli): Deserves got nothing to do with it Kelly.
The referee sends Mosh back to his corner before beginning the second pinfall. He checks on Draconis if he can continue and Draconis waves the ref off as he turns into his corner. The ref signals for the bell and Mosh comes running out of his corner straight to Draconis. Draconis see’s this and puts up his foot connecting with his jaw. He delivers a hard clothesline exploding from the corner. Draconis picks up Mosh and scoop slams him wincing from his injured ribs. He mounts Mosh and delivers stiff rights and lefts pummeling him repeatedly. Draconis steps off and slaps his chest repeatedly pumping up the crowd and himself. Draconis walks back over to Mosh who delivers a quick jab to the ribs. Mosh steps up and delivers a European uppercut. He follows that up with a kick to the gut and a snap ddt. He covers Draconis up. 1 … 2 …. Kickout.
(Eli): Too close for the Dragon. He better do something quick before he gets finished off.
(Kelly): Like maybe use an illegal weapon to gain the advantage?
(Eli): Lacks originality but still effective.
Mosh turns to the referee and lifts three fingers but the ref responds with just two. He grabs Draconis by the hair pulling him to his feet and delivering an elbow to the jaw sending him against the ropes. Mosh continues his attack with more right hands opening the wound further on Draconis head. Blood freely flows from Draconis wound and what were a few streaks of blood has turned into a crimson mask of sorts. Mosh turns back to the crowd flashing his knuckles covered up in blood and shouting to the audience that he’s got it in the bag. Mosh throws Draconis against the ropes running along with him as they both bounce off the ropes Draconis turns around and is hit a devastating clothesline. He goes for a second cover. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Mosh again shows his frustration yelling at the referee if he even knows how to count to 3. Draconis rolls over onto his side getting to the ropes to help himself up as he is now on the apron. Mosh walks over grabbing the head of the Dragon attempting to suplex him back into the ring. Draconis wraps his leg around the rope blocking the attempt. Mosh continues to struggle trying to lift him up when the Dragon breaks the hold and head butts him in the face. Mosh staggers back and gets hit with a flying shoulder block as Draconis launches himself using the ring ropes.
(Kelly): This could be the offense that jumpstarts William Draconis back into the match.
(Eli): He better do something quick. Mosh has dominated this whole match.
Dragon picks up Mosh and throws him into the corner lowering his shoulder into his abdomen and delivering 5 successive shoulder blocks. Mosh drops down into the corner turnbuckle sitting down in the ring. Draconis steps back to the parallel turnbuckle rushes Mosh and delivers a big boot to the seated Mosh. Draconis pulls him out of the turnbuckle and goes for the cover. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Draconis wastes no time arguing with the referee and continues his attack on Mosh with repeated scoop slams. The Dragon picks up Mosh once more picking him up into a standing suplex and holding him up there for a length of time. Blood continues to drip of the chin of Draconis before finally falling down and delivering a huge suplex. The Dragon screams out into the crowd and they respond in kind. Mosh is groggy and very slow to his feet but when he finally does he gets picked up in a fireman’s carry and get’s hit a powerful Dragon’s Fury (F-5). Draconis goes for the cover and secures the second pinfall!
(Kelly): Wow huge offense from the Dragon tying up this match at 1 apiece.
(Eli): That’s the powerhouse William can be that he has shown flashes of. This is it 3rd pinfall; winner take all!
William Draconis wipes some of the blood off his face and smears it across his chest and shoulders. His face is filled with determination and anger as he yells at Mosh to get up so they can start the third fall. Mosh shakes his head trying to regain his senses after being with the Dragon’s Fury. The referee send Mosh into his corner and asks him if he can continue. After getting a yes from both the ref rings the bell starting the third fall. Both charge at each other and lock up. Draconis delivers a knee to the gut. Mosh responds with a kick to the gut. Draconis fires back with a stiff right. Mosh hits back with a European uppercut. Draconis head butts Mosh stunning both of them. Mosh staggers back but charges at Draconis who turns into a huge power slam. He hooks the leg. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Draconis looks spent as he stares at the ref in shock that he did not get the 3 count. Mosh is equally as spent lying down on the canvas. Draconis gets up first grabbing Mosh by the head picking up to his feet and swings him over into the turnbuckle. He gets back to the opposite corner waving his arm around telling the crowd it’s time for Bloodline (Clothesline from Hell). He runs right at Mosh but Mosh delivers a dropkick to the knee causing the Dragon to fall headfirst into the middle turnbuckle. Mosh is quick to go for the rollup and puts his feet up on the ropes. 1 … 2 … The ref notices Mosh on the ropes and stops his count. Chris Mosh is livid at the referee telling him 3 comes after 2. The referee kicks the ropes telling Mosh he was using them illegally.
(Kelly): Way to go ref! Don’t let Mosh cheat his way to victory.
(Eli): Mosh better stop paying too much attention to the ref and get back on William Draconis.
Mosh is still berating the referee when William sneaks up behind him and rolls him up for the 1 … 2 …. Mosh kicks out at the last second. The crowd responds with a big “oh!” Again Draconis was milliseconds away from ending the match. Mosh sneaks out of the ring and takes a breather but William follows him out of the ring as well. William catches up to him and grabs him by the neck throwing him back into the ring much to the crowd delight. William walks back into the ring with a look of determination. Mosh still has more fight in him and delivers another punch to the injured ribs of William. Mosh gets up and looks to deliver a German Suplex. William slips out of it and gets behind him for a German. Mosh grabs the referee to not get suplex’d and delivers a reverse kick right to the groin of Draconis who falls to the ground.
(Kelly): Come on ref! That was a blatant low blow!
(Eli): It’s ring smarts Kelly. It’s only cheating if you get caught and Mosh positioned himself beautifully between the ref and his “alleged” low blow.
(Kelly): Alleged? You have got to be kidding me Eli!
(Eli): I thought he caught mostly inner thigh.
Draconis is on the ground grabbing his groin as the referee turns to admonish Mosh asking if he had delivered a low blow. Mosh just turns his head saying no while flashing his winning smile. The ref threatens to disqualify Mosh but he knows he can’t actually do it without having seen the infraction. Mosh moves to capitalize on his advantage and delivers a few kicks to the downed Dragon. He grabs him by the ears and yells into his bloodied face that it is his time and to stay down. Mosh slaps the dragon around for a little bit in a completely disrespectful fashion when Dragon grabs Mosh quickly by the throat and delivers a desperation Chokeslam! Both men are sprawled out on the ground as Draconis slowly crawls a few feet of canvas to get a hand over the chest of Mosh. 1 … 2 … Kickout. The crowd is in awe of the match these two are having as once again they let out a huge collective “oh!” William is in his third wind as he stands once more fists clenched blood spattered all over his body and dripping from his face. He begs Mosh to get up waving him up with his arm. He picks him up again in the Dragon’s Fury (F-5) only for Mosh to elbow his way out of it. Mosh gets his back and rolls him up against the ropes where he uses his arm to grab the top rope for leverage. 1 … 2 … 3!
(Announcer): Here is your winner… Pretty Boy, Chris Mosh!
(Eli): What a match! What did I tell you Kelly brains over brawn every time. Mosh showed great in ring knowledge to get the victory tonight.
(Kelly): If you mean he cheated without getting caught then yeah I agree. This victory is completely tainted. William got blindsided and cut open. Battled back and gained the only decisive pin in the match. He’s the real winner.
(Eli): That’s not how the scorecard is going to read it Kelly. All that matters is that he wins and he just didn’t tonight.
Scene in the back. Diego De La Vega finishes lacing his boots someone knocks on his door
(Diego): Entra…
A official comes in and let’s Diego know he is wanted at Bookman’s Office. Diego Nods and and steps out his locker room. He waves at some of the Arena workers, gives a thumb s up and runs right into Smokehouse Jones and Karl Sykes
(Merlyn): Well looky here…if it ain’t masked Chihuahua himself….
Merlyn looks down at the Apex title and slowly looks upward into Diego’s Face
(Merlyn): …you must think you’re real cute with that title, having all these imbeciles cheering for you. Waving like you’re the dam queen of England.
Merlyn gets right in Diego’s face.
(Merlyn): …can’t talk, mouth full of burritos.
Diego smiles
(Diego): …you know Merlyn…Tu Eres Un Beso Culo…
Sykes turns to Smokehouse
(Sykes): What did he say.
(Smokehouse): Hold on…
Smokehouse pulls out English Spanish translation book.
(Merlyn): Why do you have that?
(Smokehouse): Been taking Spanish classes for this very occasion.
(Merlyn): Never mind…
Merlyn Turns back to Diego
(Merlyn): …I hope you didn’t stain the title strap with all that guacamole sauce..
(Diego): I get it, you’re a funny guy and even funnier one when you have your “Perro” with you
(Merlyn): “Perro”…look that up SJ…
He turns attention to Diego
(Merlyn): …speak English ..you’re in America now
Diego smiles again.
(Diego): Merlyn, tonight we are going to see if you still have what you had ten years ago. ..You know the thing you claim to have now…
(Smokehouse): Ok the first thing he said was you are an ass kisser
Merlyn gets livid and gets right up in Diego’s face
(Merlyn): You think your funny Halloween.
(Smokehouse): and he said your “Perro” that is dog, he said your dog…
Smokehouse Laughs, Merlyn looks at him…
(Merlyn): He called you a dog, Fool!
Smokehouse gets angry and also gets in Diego’s face as Diego takes a step back…then the camera pans back and we see Eddie step into the scene as the crowd goes crazy. Smokehouse takes a step forward and Merlyn gets in-between everyone.
(Merlyn): So you showed…
(Eddie): Why wouldn’t I?. Problems here?
(Merlyn): you better tell your little alien that his time is almost up
(Eddie): Tell him yourself, he’s right here…Diego, did you here what he said
(Merlyn): Yup..
(Eddie): are we done here gentlemen
(Merlyn): No…not by a long shot… (Merlyn gets in Eddie’s face)…Where’s your little project, seeing how your responsible for everyone’s success. …The camera pans out further as Gavin Rush steps into the picture
(Gavin): Where’s my money you Son-of-s-bitch
(Merlyn): (His eyes open up and he takes a step back….Gavin?
(Gavin): What didn’t notice me in clean clothes and shaven. Where’s my money
(Merlyn): Come see me after the show, I’ll it for you..(Gavin takes a step towards Merlyn as Eddie puts his arm out to stop him)
(Diego): Gavin don’t worry, I’m gonna take what he owes you out on his “Culo” tonight…(Smokehosue Looks in his book as Merlyn looks at Smokehouse)…
(Merlyn): He said ass, put that thing away…(Merlyn looks at Eddie and takes a step back as he and Smokehouse leave the scene
(Gavin): Why did you stop me?
(Eddie): He’s under contract, and you are not ready to take on Merlyn.
(Gavin): who needs ton be ready, I wasn”t gonna wrestle him I was gonna punch him in the face…
(Eddie): In time
(Diego): Eddie, perfect timing brother..” ¿Cómo estás amigo
(Eddie): no podía ser major
(Eddie): Diego this is Gavin, Gavin Rush,
(Diego): Hello buddy
Gavin looks at Eddie
(Eddie): Listen Gavin see this man right here ..(Points to Diego)..this is man is a friend, you can trust him, trust me!
Gavin extends his hand and shakes Diego’s hand.
(Gavin): How’s it hanging
(Diego): Down the middle Hombre
All three men share a laugh and walk away as the scene cuts back to ringside.
(Announcer): Our next match is set for one fall, with a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from Fullerton, California, weighing in at 235 pounds, Chris Titan!
A horn blares and from behind the video wall comes a 67 Chevy Bel Air he revs the engine and honks the horn again before stepping out. When he gets on the ramp pyro shoots up from the stage
(Announcer): And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 227 pounds, Freddie Styles!
The screen cuts to the [fXs] symbol as the first beats of “No Church In The Wild” by Kanye and Jay-Z hit the arena. As the song moves into the chosen verse, Freddie steps out from behind the curtain as he just stands there, bouncing from side to side, before making his slow walk towards the ring.
Tears on the mausoleum floor
Blood stains the coliseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rollin’ in the Rolls-Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hidin’ from police
Cocaine seats
All white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic
I’m wonderin’ if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asks, “Whose bias do y’all seek?”
All for Plato, screech
I’m out here ballin’, I know y’all hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats
Preach
Human being to the mob
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer?
Who don’t believe in anything?
We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild
Freddie slowly walks up the ring steps, and steps through the ropes. He then stands on the middle rope, holding one arm above him, before stepping down and leaning over in a corner, awaiting the beginning of the match.
The referee calls for the bell and the two combatants square off, sizing each other up. Titan then moves in on Styles, locking up with each other. Titan throws a hay maker and attempts an Irish whip but is reversed by Styles. Titan bounces off the ropes, sling shotted back to Styles who delivers a massive clothesline sending Titan to the mat hard. Styles then picks up Titan by the hair and drags him into the corner and begins to punish Titan with rapid, boxer like punches to the ribs. Styles then picks up Titan and sets him up on the top rope. Styles and Titan are both standing at the top rope, Styles then attempts a super plex but Titan blocks it and throws Styles to the mat. Titan, still standing on the top turnbuckle, sizes up Styles and hits a huge leg drop. 1…..2…and Styles kicks out.
Styles kicks out and an angry Titan goes to his offense. Titan picks up Styles, who throws a haymaker, Titan ducks, sending Styles spinning around. Titan then wraps his arms around Styles, and hits him with "The Three Amigos" aka three belly to back suplexes. Styles is lying on the mat, Titan goes for the Figure Four. The referee gets in Styles’s face and asks if he wants to give up, but Styles won’t give up. You can see the pain in his face as he struggles to hold on. After a few brutal, torturing moments of pain, Styles finally flips Titan over and sends the pain shooting the other way. Titan is now screaming in pain but manages to reach the ropes. The ref calls for the break but Styles won’t let go:
1
2
3
4
Styles lets go and Titan grabs his leg, thriving in agony as he hangs on to the top rope for support. Styles sees this opening and attacks Titan’s leg, he kicks Titan’s leg out from underneath him, sending him to the mat. Titan then gets back up and leans on the ropes again for support but Styles repeats the same move; kicking Titan’s leg out from underneath him. Titan gets up again via the ropes, and then Styles clotheslines Titan to the outside of the ring. Titan gets up and is dazed on his feet on the outside of the ring, the ref continues to count. Styles stops the ref, steps on the outside of the apron and nails Titan with a flying elbow, sending Titan into the security railing. Titan is leaning on the security railing when Styles sends him to the other side of the railing, into the crowd by way of clothesline. The fans are all cheering and tapping Titan on the shoulder as security separates the crowd from Titan. Styles steps over the railings, grabs Titan and throws him back over the railings, onto the outside then back into the ring as the ref gets to a count of "8". Both men are back into the middle of the ring.
Titan gets up back away from the advancing Styles, but gets caught with a huge European Uppercut sending him down to the ground, but gets straight back up again, Styles whips him towards the ropes, Titan bounces off, clothesline attempt, but Titan ducks, still on the run and comes back, Styles catches Titan with a Sidewalk slam. Titan bounces off the mat as Styles does not bother going for the cover, instead he grabs Titan by the throat and guides Titan up with the one hand, staring into the eyes of Titan, then...THE STING!
1
2
3!
(Announcer): here is your winner… Freddie Styles!
The camera cuts backstage again as Styles makes his way out of the ring.
The scene cuts to the face of Buddy Zent causing a roar from inside the arena. The camera zooms out and reveals Zent sitting in Yogurtez’s security hut, with his feet on the table, watching the CCTV. As he takes a sip of water, the hut door quickly opens, and Fernando Yogurtez appears at the entrance. He closes the door, looking slightly distressed.
(Buddy Zent): “Did you get them Fernando?”
(Yogurtez): [Nodding] “Ci, Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Good, very good my friend. You know, Fernando, we’ve got a lot in common, don’t you think?”
(Yogurtez): “Eeehh, I don lie wrestl, or sil’ee hair”
(Buddy Zent): [Laughing] Fernando, Fernando, of course you do, why else would you work here?”
(Yogurtez):” I say mi monie, an then go bah to me-hi-co.”
(Buddy Zent): “Go back to Mexico? Why Fernando?”
(Yogurtez): “I won to be bi’ me-hi-co dan’ceen star!”
(Buddy Zent): “You’re a dancer?!”
(Yogurtez): “Ci, ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Well show you what you got then Fernando, don’t be shy!”
With that, Yogurtez looks to his left, and presses play on a dusty CD player. Zent raises his eyebrows and watches in disbelief. Dramatic Mexican music blasts from the stereo, a succession of thundering beats crash through the hut, rumbling the table. With every beat, Yogurtez flicks his head, and kicks his legs. It’s poetry in motion, not a move out of place. As he continues to dance, the camera cuts to outside the security hit, showing Fernando Yogurtez dancing inside - in spectacular fashion.
(Kelly): wow… Buddy Zent is something else.
(Eli): Yeah, something is definitely the word.
(Kelly): Not a fan Eli?
(Eli): What’s this, we’re getting word that something is going on in the back.
Styles has just gotten to the backstage area after his match and Angelus Dante Ambrosi is yelling at him from the far hallway. Styles starts to walk down the hallway when suddenly Samuel Nicolas Morrison comes running out of nowhere and he hits the Pounce on Styles sending him into a steel cabinet against the wall. The cabinet crumbles with the impact as blood can be seen coming out of the back of Styles’ head as Whitman Trent Frost comes from behind Morrison and starts stomping Styles as ADA rushes over yelling at Styles.
(ADA): This is just the beginning Styles. I will have Arora and I will have my revenge. Vendetta will be you’re funeral.
ADA signals to Morrison and Frost as the three men walk down the hallways as CRW Officals come to check on Styles.
(Kelly): I think ADA has finally lost it!
(Eli): Styles is in a world of hurt, jesus.
Somebody’s watching me hits the P.A as Merlyn and Smokehouse stroll down to the ring. SMJ grabs a mic roughly from the tech crew and throws it to Merlyn. Merlyn clears his throat and fixes his tie. The crowd is booing and throwing things. Merlyn as usual lets some time pass staring at the crowd. Finally he speaks.
Merlyn I stand here and absorb your hatred like a vampire absorbs blood. I do so now because i return your hatred. Anyone who is fooled by such childish charms that Edwin holds should be hated. One day i will show you all the truth of things and then ...maybe then i can forgive you and go back to loving you. I doubt it but i will try. So today i begin revealing the truth by removing the house of lies built by Edwin brick by brick. I put on a show for you I'd like to call Edwin Phoenix this is your liiiife!!!
(the lights blink on and off as dinky game show music plays and a tv lowers to eye level in the center of the ring. Images flash ont he screen of Eddie Phoenix. As each picture fades out and another takes its place he gets younger and younger with varying hair styles and diffrent wrestling outfits.
(Merlyn):first let me start out by honoring my opponent tonight! Vega this is YOUR LIFE!!!.
An image of a cock fighting contest in a small dirty arena pops on the screen.
(Merlyn):Ok now back to Edwin. First I have here today first and foremost in Edwin’s life I'm sure...Edwin’s parents!!!
Eddies music hits and two male midgets come out dressed in suede tuxedos. SMJ lifts them into the ring with a straight face and turns around so the camera can not see him.
Merlyn gets down on his knees with the mic.
(Merlyn):now I gotta say you two look quite dapper in your suites. Is that suede? I love it.
Midget 1-thank you for having us Mr Merlyn, Eddie is usually embarrassed to have us out in public. He puts the padlock on the door before he leaves.
(Merlyn):now is that because you are midgets or other reasons?
(The two look at each other in puzzlement while holding hands)
(Midget 1):what else could it be?
(Midget 2):yeah what else, our fashion sense?
(Merlyn):ummm so what was Edwin like as child.
(Midget 1):Well he stayed in his room alot. All we heard in his room was clapping so whatever he was watching must have been good. We heard moaning sometimes but we checked and he was by himself. He rarely wore pants in his room.
(Merlyn):Would you say he was grateful for the love and care you gave Edwin when raising him?
(Midget 2):oh no. He was an angry and bitter child. We still don’t know why. We are a normal American family. He wont introduce us to his friends. When we heard about you we asked to meet you but he said no that he was ashamed of us. He hits us sometimes too.
(Merlyn):wow. Well I’m here now. I met you and I’m glad you guys were brave enough to face your monsters known as Eddie Phoenix.. I’m proud of you. Bring it in.
Merlyn hugs the two midgets and pats them on the back.
(Merlyn):now for my next guest, Edwin’s third grade teacher Mrs Belmonte
A thin Spanish women walks down the ramp to the ring and Merlyn helps her in the ring.
Mrs B-Hi Mr. Merlyn. I’m very pleased to meet you.
(Merlyn):hello man, I wanted you here today to paint a picture for us of Edwin’s development of a child.
Mrs B-well all I can say is he wasn’t a bright child. He bordered on psychotic. He threatened me several times. It’s the first child I ever hated. I called in consultants and they wouldn’t tell me anything was wrong with him but I know that there was. I know it!! I know it!! Be careful of him Mr. Merlyn. I told his parents to have someone watch him constantly like I have my children watched. I know something is wrong with them to but not as bad as Edwin.I brought some pictures he drew with me, to give you an idea.
Mrs. B holds up pictures drawn in crayon. Stick figures are displayed. One has hair the color of Mrs Belmonte and the other has a giant fly swatter chasing her.
(Merlyn):those are horrible drawings. No sense of composition or lighting. I hate them.
(Mrs. B): exactly. My children aren't allowed to draw.
(Merlyn):wow you are a good parent. Would you say Edwin should be put away?
(Mrs. B): Oh yes he was a terrible rotten child. I don’t understand how nobody saw what I saw.
(Merlyn):Oh I do Mrs. B I do.
(Mrs. B):oh thank you Mr. Merlyn. I knew you were a good upstanding person. I doubt anything I wrong with you. You are perfect.
(Merlyn):oh I know. Thank you for saying though.
Merlyn points to the audience.
(Merlyn):now if only they can understand. These gutless wonders who will believe anything!! that Edwin tells them. Only we can see this.
Mrs. B and the midgets clap for Merlyn and nod there heads in agreement.
(Merlyn):I would have had more guests but it seems all of Edwins other past friends are not around. I couldn’t find a hint of the. I wonder what happened? Keep that in mind Mr. Vega. Maybe I can beat some sense in you tonight and you’ll see the truth.
Merlyn raises his hands and balloons start falling with Eddies face on them with an X through them.
(Merlyn):tune in next week folks as we continue this guide through an bad mans life.
Game show music plays as Merlyn and his guests wave goodnight…
(Eli): HAHAHAHA!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!
(Kelly): that was sick, stupid, and embarrassing for CRW.
(Eli): What? Merlyn can’t bring out Ed’s parents and teacher? I thought it was very nice of him.
(Kelly): C’mon Eli, you know this was just a big joke.
(Eli): …Midgets need love too!
(Announcer): The following is scheduled for one fall.. first coming to the ring, 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.]
(Kelly): After his defeat at the hands of Lucas Payne, Daniel Fury is seeking retribution and finding his way back to climbing up the ladder.
(Eli): He’s going to have one hell of an obstacle in his way this evening with a very pissed off Angelus Dante Ambrosi and his new Bodyguard and manager.
(Kelly): Speaking of Ambrosi and his crew, here they come now.
While Fury is on his way down to the ring high fiving fans, Angelus Dante Ambrosi, Whitman Trent Frost, and Samuel Nicolas Morrison come flying from the back and nail Fury. Fury hits the entrance ramp hard as the three men start kicking him. Dr. Baker comes striding out from the back smiling and waving his hands like he’s directing an orchestra.
(Eli): I think this is ADA wanting to let CRW that business is about to pick up.
(Kelly): And unfortunately for Fury, he’s the pawn in this chessboard of destruction.
Frost picks up Fury and whips him at Morrison who’s already almost at the ring. As Fury reaches Morrison he hits a huge Avalanche splash and Fury crumbles to the floor. ADA runs and slides into the ring as Morrison picks up Fury and throws him in as well. ADA yells at the referee to call for the bell as Dr. Baker, Frost and Morrison are all standing at ringside.
(Kelly): You can’t start the match! Fury is completely out of it.
(Eli): This is wrestling, Fury should have gotten to the ring and not been playing to the crowd.
The referee calls for the bell and ADA picks Fury up, and quickly hits Hopeless and pins him. ADA is yelling at the referee to count as he’s standing there shocked at what’s happening. He drops down and counts the three.
(Kelly): And just like that Angelus Dante Ambrosi has won the match.
(Eli): But it doesn’t look like he, or his crew are done.
Whitman Trent Frost and Samuel Nicolas Morrison slide into the ring as ADA asks for a mic.
(ADA): Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the new POWER in CRW. We are now going to be called The Saints and what is about to happen to Fury is just a small example of what will happen to ANYONE that gets in MY WAY!
Frost grabs Fury and bring him over to the corner. He places Fury’s head between his legs, lifts his arms up over his back hooking them both and then nods to Morrison. Morrison bounces off of the far ropes and as he’s running across the ring Frost bounces up and then flips over Fury hitting a flipping tiger driver. Fury’s head bounces off the canvas as he pops up to his feet, just as that happens Morrison comes off the other ropes and hits Fury with the Pounce. The impact of a move actually sends Fury flying out of ring, his legs get caught up and he lands on his head. The referee runs to the outside and throws up the “X.” ADA simply drops the mic and the men exit the ring as they join with Dr. Baker. The four men walk up the entrance ramp as EMT’s rush past them with a stretcher.
(Kelly): I think Fury is dead.
(Eli): What was that tandem move that Frost and Morrison just did to Fury?
(Kelly): Whatever it was, it was the last move Fury will be taking for a long time.
The camera cuts to the back as the medical team assists Fury…
Merlyn burst into Jack’s Office where Jack, Comet and Sykes are already sitting and discussing some things.
(Merlyn): Give me Diego now, next match…that masked enchilada is gonna get the accent knocked out of him…come on jack. I know it’s for the apex title and I know it’s one of the featured matches on the card but make it happen. I want to go out there now while my fury is at an all time high right now and if that hack Eddie or his side kick hack want to get involved we will put their ass to the ground…(Smokehouse gets hyped)
(Smokehouse):..YEAH….(HIGH FIVES MERLYN)
(Bookman): Let’s calm down…I can’t just move things around like that
(Merlyn): Yes you can, it’s Apex matters..
(Sykes): He has a point
(Bookman): Why not wait..>Sykes is going to go out there and take care of Ed and then you won’t have to worry about him
(Merlyn): That’s all great and everything and I do believe Sykes will finish Eddie off, But I want Diego Now..I want the title now…
(Sykes): Whoa there Merlyn…What’s the rush. I mean, I have been waiting as long
(Merlyn): But you have had your chances, this will be my first title shot in over ten years, it’s due.
Sykes takes a deep breath
(Sykes): Bookman, Make it happen…
(Bookman): are you sure you want your match Next Merlyn?
(Merlyn): Dam right
(Bookman): ok, consider it done, go get ready…(Merlyn and Smokehouse chest bump )
(Merlyn): Come on SJ, let’s go get Lenny
(Bookman): Lenny?
(Merlyn): Yeah, you won’t understand, don’t worry
(Bookman): But…(Merlyn and Smokehouse leave chuckling)
(Sykes), we cool here…?
(Bookman): yup…(Both men shake hands as Sykes leaves. Bookman picks up the phone and calls Talon to let him know of the change in the card as the scene fades)
The camera cuts to the face of Buddy Zent as the arena roars. It slowly zooms out showing Zent walking backstage, towards the exit. He has something in his hand, with red string dangling beneath his waist. The camera zooms in and reveals a VIP pass to the backstage area and then back to the face of Buddy Zent. He smirks, as he continues to walk and finds his way to one of the exits.
(Kelly): “Is that pass to the arena?!”
(Eli): “That’s right Kelly, I think he got them from Yogurtez!”
Zent hangs his head out the door and whistles. From around the corner emerges a young girl, scampering her way to the exit.
(Kelly): “Is that Holly?!”
(Eli): “Why’s she with Zent?! I thought she was after Leon!”
(Kelly): “I think Buddy Zent is up to something!”
(Buddy Zent): “Good evening Holly! [Taking a step back] Wow, must I say you look fantastic tonight!”
(Holly): [Giggling] Hey, thanks! Am I allowed in?”
Zent takes the pass from his hand and places it round Holly’s neck.
(Buddy Zent): “These don’t come easy, babe, you can go anywhere with this thing!”
(Holly): “Anywhere!?”
(Buddy Zent): “That’s right, anywhere! Even my...errr...Leon Corbin’s dressing room!”
(Holly): [Looking excited] Will you...will you take me there please Mr.Zent?!”
(Buddy Zent): “Holly please! Call me Buddy! Or Bud, if you like.”
(Holly): “Okay, Buddy! Can we go there now?”
(Buddy Zent): “Sure! Follow me, I’ll take you right to his door!”
With that, Zent lets Holly into the arena and slams the door. Holly runs ahead, over excited as Zent walks slowly behind him. The camera zooms into Zent, who’s smiling, and begins walking after Holly.
(Buddy Zent): “This way Holly! We’ll be there in no time!”
(Kelly): “What is he up to?!”
(Eli): “Maybe he wants to show her his main event!”
(Kelly): “Eli, please!”
(Eli): “Maybe he does!”
(Kelly): “I hope not! She’s in love with Leon, not Buddy!”
(Eli:): “That could all change tonight, who knows what he’s got planned!”
(Kelly): “Well only time will tell Eli, but up next…
Someone runs down from the back and tells the Ring announcer something
(Announcer): We have just received word, that the next match will be for the Aoex Championship.
(Kelly): Wow, bookman made it happen
(Eli): Why wouldn’t he, he makes everything happen…
(Announcer) First coming to the ring weighting in at Two-Hundred and Forty pounds, he now resides in Stanford Connecticut, he is managed by Smokehouse Jones…he is Merlyn!!!! The boos ring out with chants of “You Sold out” throughout the arena.
Merlyn comes out the back with Smokehouse by his side and a chicken in his hands
(Eli): What on earth is Merlyn up to now, hasn’t he ever heard of the bird flu…
(Kelly): I’m baffled, I have no clue what’s going on…I see Merlyn hasn’t changed all that much he is still crazy...is he calling Vega a chicken? but why does he have a fist full of cash?
He gets to the ring and hands the chicken to Smokehouse and rolls in the ring. Smokehouse then gives the chicken to Merlyn through the ropes…then the music stops
(Eli): This is ridiculous..
The crowd is starting to chant “GO Diego GO!”
(Announcer) and his opponent,
The crowd erupts as "El Rey" –by Vicente Fernandez nits the arena.
(Announcer) weighing in at two-hundred and thirty pounds From Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico …he is …. Diego De La Vega
Diego comes out the back with a lot of energy. He raises his left arm while slapping his chest twice with his right arm. As he walks down the ramp he exchanges high fives with people along the side reaching out to grab him. He climbs the ring steps and slingshots himself into the ring from the apron as flash bulbs go off. He stands and is looking right at Merlyn who is smiling and signals at the chicken. Merlyn is gesturing to Vega as to ask where is Vega’s chicken. Vega hands his title to the ref as the ref takes the title and is telling Merlyn to get the chicken out the ring. Merlyn shrugs and takes off his shades and hands the shades to the ref. Vega does not seemed please at this gesture of blatant disrespect. Merlyn then grabs the chicken with both hands and punts it out the ring as a small explosion of feathers burst in the ring and the chicken goes flying into the third row. The crowd is stunned, as is Vega
(Eli): oh Wow…
(Kelly): Poor chicken, what the hell is wrong with Merlyn.
(Eli): I see a lawsuit pending already from P.E.T.A
Merlyn stops smiling and walks right up to Vega and smacks him square in the face. The crowd let’s out an “ooohhh” Merlyn is telling Vega something as Vega slowly turns to face Merlyn. He wipes his mouth to check for blood. Merlyn go and slaps Vega again but Vega catches his arm and brings him down into an Arm Bar. The crowd erupts as he has Merlyn locked in square in the middle of the ring. Merlyn is in pain trying to reach the ropes. The crowd is on their feet
(Kelly): Wow, can Vega end it…
(Eli): Doesn’t Merlyn know this is for the Apex championship, why would he mess with Vega like this, to get in a man’s head is one thing, but to ignore him is another
Merlyn reaches over, Smokehouse jumps on the apron as the ref looses focus and goes over to Smokehouse telling him to get down. Vega releases the hold as Merlyn holds his arm and shoulder and rolls on the mat in pain. Vega reaches to grab Smokehouse but Smokehouse gets down from the apron.
(Kelly): If Vega has any chance to win this tonight he is gonna have to stay focused on Merlyn
(Eli): That in it self is a task..
Vega turns around and goes over and picks up Merlyn from the mat. He walks him to the corner, grabs his arm and whips him across the ring to the other turnbuckle, Merlyn reverses it and whips Vega across the ring, Vega runs and Merlyn Follows, Vega runs up the turnbuckle and leaps back and turns midway into a splash, Merlyn ducks and rolls, Vega hits but rolls out of it. Merlyn the charges with a clothesline as Vega get up. He ducks it and goes to run across the ropes but Merlyn grabs his mask and slams him down on his back. Vega falls and holds his head adjusting his mask but seems to be in pain holding his neck. Merlyn walks over and puts his foot on his forehead then stomps it. He leans down and holds Vega’s head and drops a knee on it. Merlyn picks Vega up and Body Slams him down then drops an elbow on his chest. Gets up and drops another, then another and goes for the pin as the ref drops down..1…………2…popped. Merlyn gets up and rotates his shoulder. He leans down and picks up Vega and puts him into a Power Bomb position, Vega grabs on, lifts his legs up and around Merlyn’s neck, he sits up then maneuvers up and behind Merlyn into a sunset flip and he pulls Merlyn and rolls him for the pin the ref gets down.1………….2..popped Merlyn breaks out gets up and quickly throws a knee to Vega’s face knocking Vega back hard. You can hear Smokehouse laughing loud from outside the ring. Merlyn gets up and picks Vega up and over and hits a brainbuster.
(Kelly): ouch…
(Eli): Vega doesn’t seem like he came ready for Merlyn
(Kelly): Maybe all that stuff earlier and the chicken actually got to Vega
(Eli): No, I doubt that he’s a pro..this is wrestling…
Merlyn makes the pin as the ref gets down ..1………2…popped. Merlyn is on his knees, looks at Vega as he runs his hand through his hair. He stands up and picks Vega up, Vega grabs his tights and throws himself back and launches Merlyn through the second rope outside the ring. The crowd is getting to their feet. Vega is on one knee. Smokehouse is helping Merlyn up who landed awkward. Vega gets up and tells the ref something, the ref says no, Vega runs and screams at the ref, the ref drops on all fours as Vega leaps off the Ref’s back and up and over the top rope with a Plancha and lands on Merlyn and Smokehouse. The Crowd erupts
(Kelly): yes Did the ref just assist Vega
(Eli): He needs to stick to what he knows. And yes the ref did, but I think it was out of fear,
Vega gets up and rolls into the ring as the ref starts to count…..

Vega leans back hard as Merlyn is screaming in pain. Comet and smokehouse are smacking the canvas. Smokehouse tells Comet something in her ear as she runs around the other side. Comet gets on the apron as the ref turns his attention to Comet telling her to get down. Smokehouse is getting on the apron as out the back comes Eddie, The crowd erupts as Eddie gets to the ring and lays in hard on Smokehouse knocking him off the ring apron. Vega lets go and lunges at Comet and grabs her by the neck. Comet see’s Eddie. Eddie grabs Smokehouse and throws him into the railing. He then turns his attention to Comet who see’s Eddie making a red eye for her, Eddie tells Vega to please let her go. Vega pushes her off the apron and nods at Eddie. She drops down as Eddie is telling her to get out from ring side, she is screaming at Eddie “No”…she walks around and notices Smokehouse down and starts to help him up. Eddie tells Vega he will be by ring side for him, Both men slap hands as Vega turns his attention to Merlyn who is holding his back.
(Kelly): Wow Eddie just saved his friend
(Eli): But to what extent, this is becoming a very odd dynamic for Eddie.
Vega grabs Merlyn and sets him up for a pile driver. Vega goes to lift Merlyn but Merlyn legs go half way up and come back as Merlyn is trying to block the pile driver. Smokehouse starts to walk around the ring getting Eddie’s attention. Eddie walks around and walks towards Smokehouse as Smokehouse backs up. Eddie turns back around and Smokehouse runs in as Eddie turns and surprises Smokehouse with a high knee to the face sending him down. The commotion has got the ref’s attention as he is trying to tell both men for to the other side. Merlyn pulls away and low blows Vega as Vega falls to the mat. Eddie saw what Happened and is telling the ref to pay attention to the ring. Merlyn is up to his feet and throws a few kicks at Vega, he looks at Eddie and has some words for him pointing at Eddie then continues to lay into Vega.
(Kelly): I tell you is Smokehouse up already, that guys has just been at the wrong end of everything here tonight
(Eli): He should just leave
Smokehouse is on his feet shaking it off, grabs a chair and goes right at Edie, Eddie isn’t moving he’s telling Smokehouse to bring it. Merlyn slides behind Eddie and nails him in the back of the head, then slides back into the ring. Smokehouse slides the chair into the ring, Merlyn picks it up as the red is trying to take the chair away,
(Kelly): Merlyn is going to get Dq’ed
(Eli): I think Merlyn is crafty enough to know what he is doing…Smokehouse and Merlyn are on the same page…there not your typical imbecile manager Wrestler Tandem.
Smokehouse slides in behind the ref, Vega is getting up on one knee and Smokehouse runs and devastates Vega with a running boot to the head and then slides out the ring.
(Kelly): Wow…that was calculated..
Eddie is on all fours…
(Eli): Who the hell is that,
(Kelly): it’s Gavin Rush, going over the railing to attend to Eddie.
Merlyn smiles and gives the ref back the chair as the ref throws the chair out the ring Merlyn grabs Vega and lifts him up by the head and goes to put him into “Greetings from St.Ides (Hanging Neck Breaker) and connects as the crowd is in shock as what is transpiring. Gavin looks in the ring and calls Merlyn out, Merlyn gets pissed and goes to pin Vega. Gavin makes an attempt and grabs the bottom rope as the ref quickly tells Gavin to leave.

(Announcer): your winner by disqualification…Merlyn!
(Eli): Oh….Vega has been disqualified
(Kelly): Ok,, that is good for Merlyn
(Eli): How he doesn’t win the match on DQ..why was Merlyn paying attention to Gavin.
(Kelly): Maybe it was another calculation he was counting on Smokehouse to slide in and do something. Vega looks at Gavin as Gavin is in shock apologizing to Vega. Eddie pulls Gavin down and is talking to him in disappointment. Smokehouse rolls in and hits a swinging neck breaker on Vega and connects. Eddie see’s this and slides in. Smokehouse comes in with a big boot, Eddie sucks it and grabs Smokehouse into his Kraken Breaker, Comet gets in the ring and ask Eddie to let him go. Merlyn is getting up Behind Eddie, Gavin slides in with a chair but is cut off by Merlyn who nails Gavin over the top and grabs the chair. Eddie drops Smokehouse and tells Comet to leave, Eddie turns and Merlyn swing the chair Eddie ducks and it nails Comet busting her open on contact. Merlyn is in shock but shrugs his shoulders and grabs smokehouse and they roll out, Eddie is stunned and extremely upset.

Eddie is calling for Emt’s and is holding Comet in his lap, screaming for help, he puts up the X with his arms to call for serious assistance. Merlyn and Smokehouse are looking into the ring. Vega grabs the chair and goes out chasing them as Merlyn and smokehouse make their way to the back…

(Eli): oh my god…is Diego ok…
Comet, he has no idea what has just happened.
The truck stops as the door opens and Sykes steps out
(Eli): It was Sykes…
(Kelly): oh no…it was Sykes, Diego was set up, and Eddie is out there tending to Comet, he has no idea what has just happened
Sykes walks up to the car where Diego is out and bleeding, glass everywhere. EMT‘s and security are coming to help get Diego out of the car. Sykes smiles
(Bookman) get the hell out of here before the police come, What were you thinking Sykes, Dammit, we did not agree on this.
(Sykes): What about my Match with Eddie
(Bookman) You bastard, go, go now, your match is now postponed…I’ll take care of it.
Sykes smirks, walks over and gets on his motorcycle and drives off.
(Bookman): Get the Ambulance. Come on hurry get him out he’s bleeding.
The truck stops as the door opens and we see Karl Sykes…
(Kelly): oh no…it was Sykes, Diego was set up!
The camera cuts to the face of Buddy Zent, he’s on iPhone, waiting for someone to answer. He’s hiding round a corner as Holly searches for him.
(Holly): {Shouting] “Buddy?! Where are you?!”
(Buddy Zent): [Talking on the phone, whispering] “Fernando..”
(Yogurtez): “Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Is everything in place?!”
(Yogurtez): “Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “You’re a good man Fernando, I’ll see you soon.”
Suddenly, Holly bursts round the corner as Zent quickly disposes of the phone into his pocket.
(Holly): “There you are! What you been doing?”
(Buddy Zent): “Err! Nothing! You want to go see Leon?!”
(Holly): “Yeah!”
(Buddy Zent): “Okay, if I can just remember where his dressing room is.. ah! This way!”
(Holly): “We just came from there!”
(Buddy Zent): “I know, I forgot, come on, let’s go now!”
Zent storms ahead, as Holly looks confused. She shrugs it off and quickly catches Zent up as the camera cuts back to the commentators.
(Kelly): “Buddy Zent is planning something, I know it!”
(Eli): “Well he better hurry up, he makes his professional debut in just under an hour!”
(Kelly): “Well it’s going to be exciting to see him in the ring, finally.”
(Eli): “That’s if he gets to the ring! If Leon sees Holly with Zent, I don’t know if he’ll make it out here..”
(Kelly): “Well he look’s like a man with a plan Eli…
(Lou Manson is shown backstage talking to a reporter, who is asking him questions about his policies.)
Lou: ..... and that is why we need to curb government spending as soon as possible. We can't allow the deficit to baloon any further.
Reporter: I have to say Mr. Manson, you are much more articulate and knowedgeable than I expected.
Lou: Well, I'm used to people underestimating me. Might help me in the long run with the campaign......
(As Lou is talking, he spots Gravedigger walking down the hallway.)
Lou: Excuse me. I'll be right back.
(Lou walks toward Gravedigger.)
Lou: HEY!!!!!
(Gravedigger turns and notices Lou coming his way.)
Gravedigger: What do you want?
Lou: Are you serious? Get this thing fixed with Talon and Dredge now!!!!!! I've been talking to them and explained how you can't handle having to speak for yourself and that you need someone around to help you. Fix this thing before it's too late....
Gravedigger: Can't handle it on my own? Is that what I'm hearing. Let me tell you something Lou.....
(Gravedigger grabs Lou by the collar.)
Gravedigger: I can handle this just fine.
Lou: Easy big man. I'm your last shot at fixing this....... don't make this mistake.
Gravedigger: I'm not making a mistake. This is what must be done. And it's time for you to choose a side.....
Lou: You think I'd go against you big man?
(Gravedigger puts Lou down, smiles at him, and starts to walk away. As he does Lou chop blocks his knee, sending Gravedigger to the floor. Lou then signals for a group of hooded men to attack Gravedigger, with his knee being their main focus. After a few moments of assaulting him the men leave, and only Lou and Gravedigger remain.)
Lou: Ten years I've known you, and what have I gotten from it? I got some holes dug. I could have gotten anyone to do that. I've known Talon and Dredge for six months and they are my main political contributors. They've already done more for me than you have ever. You dug your own grave on this one, big man.
(Lou walks away as the reporter tries to catch him.)
Lou: Interview over.

Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc.
…and Massif Mountain Gear and Atlanco
Live from Bronx, New York
The scene cuts and shows the face Fernando Yogurtez against the night’s sky. The camera zooms out and reveals the car park entrance where he paces up and down with his hands behind his back. The entrance is clear as Yogurtez scouts the approaching road, preparing for unexpected trespassers that may attempt to enter the arena. Suddenly, an Audi A3 is seen in the distance, driving towards the entrance. Yogurtez locks his eyes firmly on the car, but the windows are tinted. As the vehicle slows to a halt by the barrier, Yogurtez is just inches away, ready to inspect the passenger.
(Yogurtez): (Knocking on the window) “Why dow ween’do plea, senior.”
Slowly, the tinted window winds down, revealing “The Main Event” Buddy Zent.
(Buddy Zent): “Fernando, ma amigo! How’s it going friend?”
Yogurtez’s expression turns to instant anger as he lowers his head and presses the radio.
(Yogurtez): “Eh, seex zero seex zero, com een.”
(Buddy Zent): “Woah, woah, woah! Fernando, what you doing my good man?”
(Yogurtez): “No! No entri toonaigh, you disraspec my pewhole.”
Zent grabs the hand of Yogurtez and cups it with his other, winking at the security guard.
(Buddy Zent): “Fernando, Fernando, I think we can be friends, don’t you?”
Zent pulls his hand away and Yogurtez clenches his fist. He smiles, and nods his head.
(Buddy Zent):” Oh, and Fernando…”
Zent flicks his hand, to which Yogurtez responds and moves his head close to the window. He whispers into the guards ear and then smiles.
(Buddy Zent): “Keep up the good work Fernando.”
With that, the barrier lifts and Zent pulls away into the car park. The camera cuts from Zent and shows the face of Yogurtez who is smiling. He flicks his head and starts to patrol once more, although this time, with a noticeable kick in his step.
The scene cuts from outside as we start the nights events…

(Eli): It’s a great line up, that’s for sure… so lets not waste anytime tonight Kelly, its time… its Time!....its FACE OFF TIME!
(Kelly): …E, did you just Vader me?
(Kelly): First up on the card though we have the heated rivalry between William Draconis and Chris Mosh. What are your thoughts on this 2 out of 3 falls match?
(Eli): Both will need to pace themselves. This match is about endurance as much as it is about pinfalls. You might end up gassing yourself getting that first pin only to lose out on the next two.
(Kelly): That was actually technically sound unbiased advice. I’m impressed Eli. I got to go with the powerhouse William Draconis in this match though.
(Eli): The Dragon used to be a powerhouse and intimidating but ever since he grew his mangina and hooked up with Jasmine Lee he’s been a real waste of talent. Chris Mosh pulls it out tonight folks.
(Kelly): I spoke too soon, serves me right. Let’s head to the ring and get ready for some action.
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s opening contest is a best two out of three falls match, where in order to win the match, you must secure two falls over your opponent. Falls can be scored via pinfall, submission, count out, and/or disqualification… First coming to the ring, being accompanied to the ring by Jasmine Lee… From Dallas, Texas and weighing in at 295 lbs… William…”The Dragon” …Draconis!
“Nautral Born Killer'' by Avenged Sevenfold hits the arena and a video clip of the General Lee jumping. He jumps around gets on his knees at the head of the ramp pointing to him as fireballs shoot off in the air. He jumps up and heads slowly to the ring, where he enters dancing and posing to the crowd. He gets down in an HBK stance, flexing his biceps as pyro shoots off
(Kelly): Is it me or does Draconis have a look of determined. That’s a pretty mean scowl on his face.
(Eli): Even more importantly no Jasmine Lee. Maybe William is taking this seriously after all.
(Announcer):and his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at 200 lbs, “Pretty Boy” … Chris Mosh!
“I want it all/we will rock you” by Armageddon blares from the arena speakers. Draconis turns his attention to the top of the ramp awaiting Chris Mosh. However, Mosh is nowhere to be found. The music continues but no one steps out onto the stage. Draconis confused turns to the referee and asks him what is going on. Suddenly, Mosh is seen coming from the crowd and crouching near the ring. Draconis is still unaware of his presence as he is occupied with the referee. Mosh slips into the ring holding a lead pipe spins Draconis around nails him with it across the skull. The referee begins yelling at Mosh about his behavior but he disregards it continuing his attack on William Draconis. He nails him repeatedly with the pipe in the ribs. Finally the ref is able to get Mosh to stop and remove the pipe from the ring.
(Kelly): How could Mosh do that? That means he get’s DQ’d and loses the first fall!
(Eli): Wrong Kelly. You can’t get DQ’d before the match starts. I told you that brains beats out brawn.
The referee sends Mosh into the corner as he flashes his winning smile which incites the crowd to shower him with boos. The ref tries to get Draconis some medical attention but he shoves the ref off. He awkwardly props himself up on the corner trying to get his senses back. He is clearly dazed and confused but yells at the referee to ring the damn bell. Blood trickles down into the eyes of Draconis as the bell rings and Mosh charges at him beating him with punches repeatedly into the corner. Draconis shoves him off but Mosh comes right back again delivering right hands to the body and lefts to the head. Mosh takes a step back to gloat to the crowd as Draconis is cowering in the corner. Mosh heads back to Draconis in the corner who grabs him by the head and brings him out to the center of the ring and delivers a stiff right hand. Mosh plays up to the crowd again pointing and laughing at Draconis. He goes to strike him again with a right hand but it is blocked and gets kicked in the gut. Draconis lifts him up to deliver the Dragon’s Fury (F-5) but Mosh delivers elbow strikes right to the temple in order to escape. Draconis releases Mosh get’s turned around and get’s hit with the Moshplex (Fisherman Suplex) locking his hands and securing the first pinfall of the match.
(Eli): The first pinfall is the most important. Now all the pressure is on William to secure two pin falls in a row and I just don’t see him muscling his way to a win.
(Kelly): Oh come one! That first pinfall was tainted and Mosh had no business winning it with those cheap tactics. He doesn’t deserve it!
(Eli): Deserves got nothing to do with it Kelly.
The referee sends Mosh back to his corner before beginning the second pinfall. He checks on Draconis if he can continue and Draconis waves the ref off as he turns into his corner. The ref signals for the bell and Mosh comes running out of his corner straight to Draconis. Draconis see’s this and puts up his foot connecting with his jaw. He delivers a hard clothesline exploding from the corner. Draconis picks up Mosh and scoop slams him wincing from his injured ribs. He mounts Mosh and delivers stiff rights and lefts pummeling him repeatedly. Draconis steps off and slaps his chest repeatedly pumping up the crowd and himself. Draconis walks back over to Mosh who delivers a quick jab to the ribs. Mosh steps up and delivers a European uppercut. He follows that up with a kick to the gut and a snap ddt. He covers Draconis up. 1 … 2 …. Kickout.
(Eli): Too close for the Dragon. He better do something quick before he gets finished off.
(Kelly): Like maybe use an illegal weapon to gain the advantage?
(Eli): Lacks originality but still effective.
Mosh turns to the referee and lifts three fingers but the ref responds with just two. He grabs Draconis by the hair pulling him to his feet and delivering an elbow to the jaw sending him against the ropes. Mosh continues his attack with more right hands opening the wound further on Draconis head. Blood freely flows from Draconis wound and what were a few streaks of blood has turned into a crimson mask of sorts. Mosh turns back to the crowd flashing his knuckles covered up in blood and shouting to the audience that he’s got it in the bag. Mosh throws Draconis against the ropes running along with him as they both bounce off the ropes Draconis turns around and is hit a devastating clothesline. He goes for a second cover. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Mosh again shows his frustration yelling at the referee if he even knows how to count to 3. Draconis rolls over onto his side getting to the ropes to help himself up as he is now on the apron. Mosh walks over grabbing the head of the Dragon attempting to suplex him back into the ring. Draconis wraps his leg around the rope blocking the attempt. Mosh continues to struggle trying to lift him up when the Dragon breaks the hold and head butts him in the face. Mosh staggers back and gets hit with a flying shoulder block as Draconis launches himself using the ring ropes.
(Kelly): This could be the offense that jumpstarts William Draconis back into the match.
(Eli): He better do something quick. Mosh has dominated this whole match.
Dragon picks up Mosh and throws him into the corner lowering his shoulder into his abdomen and delivering 5 successive shoulder blocks. Mosh drops down into the corner turnbuckle sitting down in the ring. Draconis steps back to the parallel turnbuckle rushes Mosh and delivers a big boot to the seated Mosh. Draconis pulls him out of the turnbuckle and goes for the cover. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Draconis wastes no time arguing with the referee and continues his attack on Mosh with repeated scoop slams. The Dragon picks up Mosh once more picking him up into a standing suplex and holding him up there for a length of time. Blood continues to drip of the chin of Draconis before finally falling down and delivering a huge suplex. The Dragon screams out into the crowd and they respond in kind. Mosh is groggy and very slow to his feet but when he finally does he gets picked up in a fireman’s carry and get’s hit a powerful Dragon’s Fury (F-5). Draconis goes for the cover and secures the second pinfall!
(Kelly): Wow huge offense from the Dragon tying up this match at 1 apiece.
(Eli): That’s the powerhouse William can be that he has shown flashes of. This is it 3rd pinfall; winner take all!
William Draconis wipes some of the blood off his face and smears it across his chest and shoulders. His face is filled with determination and anger as he yells at Mosh to get up so they can start the third fall. Mosh shakes his head trying to regain his senses after being with the Dragon’s Fury. The referee send Mosh into his corner and asks him if he can continue. After getting a yes from both the ref rings the bell starting the third fall. Both charge at each other and lock up. Draconis delivers a knee to the gut. Mosh responds with a kick to the gut. Draconis fires back with a stiff right. Mosh hits back with a European uppercut. Draconis head butts Mosh stunning both of them. Mosh staggers back but charges at Draconis who turns into a huge power slam. He hooks the leg. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Draconis looks spent as he stares at the ref in shock that he did not get the 3 count. Mosh is equally as spent lying down on the canvas. Draconis gets up first grabbing Mosh by the head picking up to his feet and swings him over into the turnbuckle. He gets back to the opposite corner waving his arm around telling the crowd it’s time for Bloodline (Clothesline from Hell). He runs right at Mosh but Mosh delivers a dropkick to the knee causing the Dragon to fall headfirst into the middle turnbuckle. Mosh is quick to go for the rollup and puts his feet up on the ropes. 1 … 2 … The ref notices Mosh on the ropes and stops his count. Chris Mosh is livid at the referee telling him 3 comes after 2. The referee kicks the ropes telling Mosh he was using them illegally.
(Kelly): Way to go ref! Don’t let Mosh cheat his way to victory.
(Eli): Mosh better stop paying too much attention to the ref and get back on William Draconis.
Mosh is still berating the referee when William sneaks up behind him and rolls him up for the 1 … 2 …. Mosh kicks out at the last second. The crowd responds with a big “oh!” Again Draconis was milliseconds away from ending the match. Mosh sneaks out of the ring and takes a breather but William follows him out of the ring as well. William catches up to him and grabs him by the neck throwing him back into the ring much to the crowd delight. William walks back into the ring with a look of determination. Mosh still has more fight in him and delivers another punch to the injured ribs of William. Mosh gets up and looks to deliver a German Suplex. William slips out of it and gets behind him for a German. Mosh grabs the referee to not get suplex’d and delivers a reverse kick right to the groin of Draconis who falls to the ground.
(Kelly): Come on ref! That was a blatant low blow!
(Eli): It’s ring smarts Kelly. It’s only cheating if you get caught and Mosh positioned himself beautifully between the ref and his “alleged” low blow.
(Kelly): Alleged? You have got to be kidding me Eli!
(Eli): I thought he caught mostly inner thigh.
Draconis is on the ground grabbing his groin as the referee turns to admonish Mosh asking if he had delivered a low blow. Mosh just turns his head saying no while flashing his winning smile. The ref threatens to disqualify Mosh but he knows he can’t actually do it without having seen the infraction. Mosh moves to capitalize on his advantage and delivers a few kicks to the downed Dragon. He grabs him by the ears and yells into his bloodied face that it is his time and to stay down. Mosh slaps the dragon around for a little bit in a completely disrespectful fashion when Dragon grabs Mosh quickly by the throat and delivers a desperation Chokeslam! Both men are sprawled out on the ground as Draconis slowly crawls a few feet of canvas to get a hand over the chest of Mosh. 1 … 2 … Kickout. The crowd is in awe of the match these two are having as once again they let out a huge collective “oh!” William is in his third wind as he stands once more fists clenched blood spattered all over his body and dripping from his face. He begs Mosh to get up waving him up with his arm. He picks him up again in the Dragon’s Fury (F-5) only for Mosh to elbow his way out of it. Mosh gets his back and rolls him up against the ropes where he uses his arm to grab the top rope for leverage. 1 … 2 … 3!
(Announcer): Here is your winner… Pretty Boy, Chris Mosh!
(Eli): What a match! What did I tell you Kelly brains over brawn every time. Mosh showed great in ring knowledge to get the victory tonight.
(Kelly): If you mean he cheated without getting caught then yeah I agree. This victory is completely tainted. William got blindsided and cut open. Battled back and gained the only decisive pin in the match. He’s the real winner.
(Eli): That’s not how the scorecard is going to read it Kelly. All that matters is that he wins and he just didn’t tonight.
Scene in the back. Diego De La Vega finishes lacing his boots someone knocks on his door
(Diego): Entra…
A official comes in and let’s Diego know he is wanted at Bookman’s Office. Diego Nods and and steps out his locker room. He waves at some of the Arena workers, gives a thumb s up and runs right into Smokehouse Jones and Karl Sykes
(Merlyn): Well looky here…if it ain’t masked Chihuahua himself….
Merlyn looks down at the Apex title and slowly looks upward into Diego’s Face
(Merlyn): …you must think you’re real cute with that title, having all these imbeciles cheering for you. Waving like you’re the dam queen of England.
Merlyn gets right in Diego’s face.
(Merlyn): …can’t talk, mouth full of burritos.
Diego smiles
(Diego): …you know Merlyn…Tu Eres Un Beso Culo…
Sykes turns to Smokehouse
(Sykes): What did he say.
(Smokehouse): Hold on…
Smokehouse pulls out English Spanish translation book.
(Merlyn): Why do you have that?
(Smokehouse): Been taking Spanish classes for this very occasion.
(Merlyn): Never mind…
Merlyn Turns back to Diego
(Merlyn): …I hope you didn’t stain the title strap with all that guacamole sauce..
(Diego): I get it, you’re a funny guy and even funnier one when you have your “Perro” with you
(Merlyn): “Perro”…look that up SJ…
He turns attention to Diego
(Merlyn): …speak English ..you’re in America now
Diego smiles again.
(Diego): Merlyn, tonight we are going to see if you still have what you had ten years ago. ..You know the thing you claim to have now…
(Smokehouse): Ok the first thing he said was you are an ass kisser
Merlyn gets livid and gets right up in Diego’s face
(Merlyn): You think your funny Halloween.
(Smokehouse): and he said your “Perro” that is dog, he said your dog…
Smokehouse Laughs, Merlyn looks at him…
(Merlyn): He called you a dog, Fool!
Smokehouse gets angry and also gets in Diego’s face as Diego takes a step back…then the camera pans back and we see Eddie step into the scene as the crowd goes crazy. Smokehouse takes a step forward and Merlyn gets in-between everyone.
(Merlyn): So you showed…
(Eddie): Why wouldn’t I?. Problems here?
(Merlyn): you better tell your little alien that his time is almost up
(Eddie): Tell him yourself, he’s right here…Diego, did you here what he said
(Merlyn): Yup..
(Eddie): are we done here gentlemen
(Merlyn): No…not by a long shot… (Merlyn gets in Eddie’s face)…Where’s your little project, seeing how your responsible for everyone’s success. …The camera pans out further as Gavin Rush steps into the picture
(Gavin): Where’s my money you Son-of-s-bitch
(Merlyn): (His eyes open up and he takes a step back….Gavin?
(Gavin): What didn’t notice me in clean clothes and shaven. Where’s my money
(Merlyn): Come see me after the show, I’ll it for you..(Gavin takes a step towards Merlyn as Eddie puts his arm out to stop him)
(Diego): Gavin don’t worry, I’m gonna take what he owes you out on his “Culo” tonight…(Smokehosue Looks in his book as Merlyn looks at Smokehouse)…
(Merlyn): He said ass, put that thing away…(Merlyn looks at Eddie and takes a step back as he and Smokehouse leave the scene
(Gavin): Why did you stop me?
(Eddie): He’s under contract, and you are not ready to take on Merlyn.
(Gavin): who needs ton be ready, I wasn”t gonna wrestle him I was gonna punch him in the face…
(Eddie): In time
(Diego): Eddie, perfect timing brother..” ¿Cómo estás amigo
(Eddie): no podía ser major
(Eddie): Diego this is Gavin, Gavin Rush,
(Diego): Hello buddy
Gavin looks at Eddie
(Eddie): Listen Gavin see this man right here ..(Points to Diego)..this is man is a friend, you can trust him, trust me!
Gavin extends his hand and shakes Diego’s hand.
(Gavin): How’s it hanging
(Diego): Down the middle Hombre
All three men share a laugh and walk away as the scene cuts back to ringside.
(Announcer): Our next match is set for one fall, with a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from Fullerton, California, weighing in at 235 pounds, Chris Titan!
A horn blares and from behind the video wall comes a 67 Chevy Bel Air he revs the engine and honks the horn again before stepping out. When he gets on the ramp pyro shoots up from the stage
(Announcer): And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 227 pounds, Freddie Styles!
The screen cuts to the [fXs] symbol as the first beats of “No Church In The Wild” by Kanye and Jay-Z hit the arena. As the song moves into the chosen verse, Freddie steps out from behind the curtain as he just stands there, bouncing from side to side, before making his slow walk towards the ring.
Tears on the mausoleum floor
Blood stains the coliseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rollin’ in the Rolls-Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hidin’ from police
Cocaine seats
All white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic
I’m wonderin’ if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asks, “Whose bias do y’all seek?”
All for Plato, screech
I’m out here ballin’, I know y’all hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats
Preach
Human being to the mob
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer?
Who don’t believe in anything?
We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild
Freddie slowly walks up the ring steps, and steps through the ropes. He then stands on the middle rope, holding one arm above him, before stepping down and leaning over in a corner, awaiting the beginning of the match.
The referee calls for the bell and the two combatants square off, sizing each other up. Titan then moves in on Styles, locking up with each other. Titan throws a hay maker and attempts an Irish whip but is reversed by Styles. Titan bounces off the ropes, sling shotted back to Styles who delivers a massive clothesline sending Titan to the mat hard. Styles then picks up Titan by the hair and drags him into the corner and begins to punish Titan with rapid, boxer like punches to the ribs. Styles then picks up Titan and sets him up on the top rope. Styles and Titan are both standing at the top rope, Styles then attempts a super plex but Titan blocks it and throws Styles to the mat. Titan, still standing on the top turnbuckle, sizes up Styles and hits a huge leg drop. 1…..2…and Styles kicks out.
Styles kicks out and an angry Titan goes to his offense. Titan picks up Styles, who throws a haymaker, Titan ducks, sending Styles spinning around. Titan then wraps his arms around Styles, and hits him with "The Three Amigos" aka three belly to back suplexes. Styles is lying on the mat, Titan goes for the Figure Four. The referee gets in Styles’s face and asks if he wants to give up, but Styles won’t give up. You can see the pain in his face as he struggles to hold on. After a few brutal, torturing moments of pain, Styles finally flips Titan over and sends the pain shooting the other way. Titan is now screaming in pain but manages to reach the ropes. The ref calls for the break but Styles won’t let go:
1
2
3
4
Styles lets go and Titan grabs his leg, thriving in agony as he hangs on to the top rope for support. Styles sees this opening and attacks Titan’s leg, he kicks Titan’s leg out from underneath him, sending him to the mat. Titan then gets back up and leans on the ropes again for support but Styles repeats the same move; kicking Titan’s leg out from underneath him. Titan gets up again via the ropes, and then Styles clotheslines Titan to the outside of the ring. Titan gets up and is dazed on his feet on the outside of the ring, the ref continues to count. Styles stops the ref, steps on the outside of the apron and nails Titan with a flying elbow, sending Titan into the security railing. Titan is leaning on the security railing when Styles sends him to the other side of the railing, into the crowd by way of clothesline. The fans are all cheering and tapping Titan on the shoulder as security separates the crowd from Titan. Styles steps over the railings, grabs Titan and throws him back over the railings, onto the outside then back into the ring as the ref gets to a count of "8". Both men are back into the middle of the ring.
Titan gets up back away from the advancing Styles, but gets caught with a huge European Uppercut sending him down to the ground, but gets straight back up again, Styles whips him towards the ropes, Titan bounces off, clothesline attempt, but Titan ducks, still on the run and comes back, Styles catches Titan with a Sidewalk slam. Titan bounces off the mat as Styles does not bother going for the cover, instead he grabs Titan by the throat and guides Titan up with the one hand, staring into the eyes of Titan, then...THE STING!
1
2
3!
(Announcer): here is your winner… Freddie Styles!
The camera cuts backstage again as Styles makes his way out of the ring.
The scene cuts to the face of Buddy Zent causing a roar from inside the arena. The camera zooms out and reveals Zent sitting in Yogurtez’s security hut, with his feet on the table, watching the CCTV. As he takes a sip of water, the hut door quickly opens, and Fernando Yogurtez appears at the entrance. He closes the door, looking slightly distressed.
(Buddy Zent): “Did you get them Fernando?”
(Yogurtez): [Nodding] “Ci, Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Good, very good my friend. You know, Fernando, we’ve got a lot in common, don’t you think?”
(Yogurtez): “Eeehh, I don lie wrestl, or sil’ee hair”
(Buddy Zent): [Laughing] Fernando, Fernando, of course you do, why else would you work here?”
(Yogurtez):” I say mi monie, an then go bah to me-hi-co.”
(Buddy Zent): “Go back to Mexico? Why Fernando?”
(Yogurtez): “I won to be bi’ me-hi-co dan’ceen star!”
(Buddy Zent): “You’re a dancer?!”
(Yogurtez): “Ci, ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Well show you what you got then Fernando, don’t be shy!”
With that, Yogurtez looks to his left, and presses play on a dusty CD player. Zent raises his eyebrows and watches in disbelief. Dramatic Mexican music blasts from the stereo, a succession of thundering beats crash through the hut, rumbling the table. With every beat, Yogurtez flicks his head, and kicks his legs. It’s poetry in motion, not a move out of place. As he continues to dance, the camera cuts to outside the security hit, showing Fernando Yogurtez dancing inside - in spectacular fashion.
(Kelly): wow… Buddy Zent is something else.
(Eli): Yeah, something is definitely the word.
(Kelly): Not a fan Eli?
(Eli): What’s this, we’re getting word that something is going on in the back.
Styles has just gotten to the backstage area after his match and Angelus Dante Ambrosi is yelling at him from the far hallway. Styles starts to walk down the hallway when suddenly Samuel Nicolas Morrison comes running out of nowhere and he hits the Pounce on Styles sending him into a steel cabinet against the wall. The cabinet crumbles with the impact as blood can be seen coming out of the back of Styles’ head as Whitman Trent Frost comes from behind Morrison and starts stomping Styles as ADA rushes over yelling at Styles.
(ADA): This is just the beginning Styles. I will have Arora and I will have my revenge. Vendetta will be you’re funeral.
ADA signals to Morrison and Frost as the three men walk down the hallways as CRW Officals come to check on Styles.
(Kelly): I think ADA has finally lost it!
(Eli): Styles is in a world of hurt, jesus.
Somebody’s watching me hits the P.A as Merlyn and Smokehouse stroll down to the ring. SMJ grabs a mic roughly from the tech crew and throws it to Merlyn. Merlyn clears his throat and fixes his tie. The crowd is booing and throwing things. Merlyn as usual lets some time pass staring at the crowd. Finally he speaks.
Merlyn I stand here and absorb your hatred like a vampire absorbs blood. I do so now because i return your hatred. Anyone who is fooled by such childish charms that Edwin holds should be hated. One day i will show you all the truth of things and then ...maybe then i can forgive you and go back to loving you. I doubt it but i will try. So today i begin revealing the truth by removing the house of lies built by Edwin brick by brick. I put on a show for you I'd like to call Edwin Phoenix this is your liiiife!!!
(the lights blink on and off as dinky game show music plays and a tv lowers to eye level in the center of the ring. Images flash ont he screen of Eddie Phoenix. As each picture fades out and another takes its place he gets younger and younger with varying hair styles and diffrent wrestling outfits.
(Merlyn):first let me start out by honoring my opponent tonight! Vega this is YOUR LIFE!!!.
An image of a cock fighting contest in a small dirty arena pops on the screen.
(Merlyn):Ok now back to Edwin. First I have here today first and foremost in Edwin’s life I'm sure...Edwin’s parents!!!
Eddies music hits and two male midgets come out dressed in suede tuxedos. SMJ lifts them into the ring with a straight face and turns around so the camera can not see him.
Merlyn gets down on his knees with the mic.
(Merlyn):now I gotta say you two look quite dapper in your suites. Is that suede? I love it.
Midget 1-thank you for having us Mr Merlyn, Eddie is usually embarrassed to have us out in public. He puts the padlock on the door before he leaves.
(Merlyn):now is that because you are midgets or other reasons?
(The two look at each other in puzzlement while holding hands)
(Midget 1):what else could it be?
(Midget 2):yeah what else, our fashion sense?
(Merlyn):ummm so what was Edwin like as child.
(Midget 1):Well he stayed in his room alot. All we heard in his room was clapping so whatever he was watching must have been good. We heard moaning sometimes but we checked and he was by himself. He rarely wore pants in his room.
(Merlyn):Would you say he was grateful for the love and care you gave Edwin when raising him?
(Midget 2):oh no. He was an angry and bitter child. We still don’t know why. We are a normal American family. He wont introduce us to his friends. When we heard about you we asked to meet you but he said no that he was ashamed of us. He hits us sometimes too.
(Merlyn):wow. Well I’m here now. I met you and I’m glad you guys were brave enough to face your monsters known as Eddie Phoenix.. I’m proud of you. Bring it in.
Merlyn hugs the two midgets and pats them on the back.
(Merlyn):now for my next guest, Edwin’s third grade teacher Mrs Belmonte
A thin Spanish women walks down the ramp to the ring and Merlyn helps her in the ring.
Mrs B-Hi Mr. Merlyn. I’m very pleased to meet you.
(Merlyn):hello man, I wanted you here today to paint a picture for us of Edwin’s development of a child.
Mrs B-well all I can say is he wasn’t a bright child. He bordered on psychotic. He threatened me several times. It’s the first child I ever hated. I called in consultants and they wouldn’t tell me anything was wrong with him but I know that there was. I know it!! I know it!! Be careful of him Mr. Merlyn. I told his parents to have someone watch him constantly like I have my children watched. I know something is wrong with them to but not as bad as Edwin.I brought some pictures he drew with me, to give you an idea.
Mrs. B holds up pictures drawn in crayon. Stick figures are displayed. One has hair the color of Mrs Belmonte and the other has a giant fly swatter chasing her.
(Merlyn):those are horrible drawings. No sense of composition or lighting. I hate them.
(Mrs. B): exactly. My children aren't allowed to draw.
(Merlyn):wow you are a good parent. Would you say Edwin should be put away?
(Mrs. B): Oh yes he was a terrible rotten child. I don’t understand how nobody saw what I saw.
(Merlyn):Oh I do Mrs. B I do.
(Mrs. B):oh thank you Mr. Merlyn. I knew you were a good upstanding person. I doubt anything I wrong with you. You are perfect.
(Merlyn):oh I know. Thank you for saying though.
Merlyn points to the audience.
(Merlyn):now if only they can understand. These gutless wonders who will believe anything!! that Edwin tells them. Only we can see this.
Mrs. B and the midgets clap for Merlyn and nod there heads in agreement.
(Merlyn):I would have had more guests but it seems all of Edwins other past friends are not around. I couldn’t find a hint of the. I wonder what happened? Keep that in mind Mr. Vega. Maybe I can beat some sense in you tonight and you’ll see the truth.
Merlyn raises his hands and balloons start falling with Eddies face on them with an X through them.
(Merlyn):tune in next week folks as we continue this guide through an bad mans life.
Game show music plays as Merlyn and his guests wave goodnight…
(Eli): HAHAHAHA!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!
(Kelly): that was sick, stupid, and embarrassing for CRW.
(Eli): What? Merlyn can’t bring out Ed’s parents and teacher? I thought it was very nice of him.
(Kelly): C’mon Eli, you know this was just a big joke.
(Eli): …Midgets need love too!
(Announcer): The following is scheduled for one fall.. first coming to the ring, 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.]
(Kelly): After his defeat at the hands of Lucas Payne, Daniel Fury is seeking retribution and finding his way back to climbing up the ladder.
(Eli): He’s going to have one hell of an obstacle in his way this evening with a very pissed off Angelus Dante Ambrosi and his new Bodyguard and manager.
(Kelly): Speaking of Ambrosi and his crew, here they come now.
While Fury is on his way down to the ring high fiving fans, Angelus Dante Ambrosi, Whitman Trent Frost, and Samuel Nicolas Morrison come flying from the back and nail Fury. Fury hits the entrance ramp hard as the three men start kicking him. Dr. Baker comes striding out from the back smiling and waving his hands like he’s directing an orchestra.
(Eli): I think this is ADA wanting to let CRW that business is about to pick up.
(Kelly): And unfortunately for Fury, he’s the pawn in this chessboard of destruction.
Frost picks up Fury and whips him at Morrison who’s already almost at the ring. As Fury reaches Morrison he hits a huge Avalanche splash and Fury crumbles to the floor. ADA runs and slides into the ring as Morrison picks up Fury and throws him in as well. ADA yells at the referee to call for the bell as Dr. Baker, Frost and Morrison are all standing at ringside.
(Kelly): You can’t start the match! Fury is completely out of it.
(Eli): This is wrestling, Fury should have gotten to the ring and not been playing to the crowd.
The referee calls for the bell and ADA picks Fury up, and quickly hits Hopeless and pins him. ADA is yelling at the referee to count as he’s standing there shocked at what’s happening. He drops down and counts the three.
(Kelly): And just like that Angelus Dante Ambrosi has won the match.
(Eli): But it doesn’t look like he, or his crew are done.
Whitman Trent Frost and Samuel Nicolas Morrison slide into the ring as ADA asks for a mic.
(ADA): Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the new POWER in CRW. We are now going to be called The Saints and what is about to happen to Fury is just a small example of what will happen to ANYONE that gets in MY WAY!
Frost grabs Fury and bring him over to the corner. He places Fury’s head between his legs, lifts his arms up over his back hooking them both and then nods to Morrison. Morrison bounces off of the far ropes and as he’s running across the ring Frost bounces up and then flips over Fury hitting a flipping tiger driver. Fury’s head bounces off the canvas as he pops up to his feet, just as that happens Morrison comes off the other ropes and hits Fury with the Pounce. The impact of a move actually sends Fury flying out of ring, his legs get caught up and he lands on his head. The referee runs to the outside and throws up the “X.” ADA simply drops the mic and the men exit the ring as they join with Dr. Baker. The four men walk up the entrance ramp as EMT’s rush past them with a stretcher.
(Kelly): I think Fury is dead.
(Eli): What was that tandem move that Frost and Morrison just did to Fury?
(Kelly): Whatever it was, it was the last move Fury will be taking for a long time.
The camera cuts to the back as the medical team assists Fury…
Merlyn burst into Jack’s Office where Jack, Comet and Sykes are already sitting and discussing some things.
(Merlyn): Give me Diego now, next match…that masked enchilada is gonna get the accent knocked out of him…come on jack. I know it’s for the apex title and I know it’s one of the featured matches on the card but make it happen. I want to go out there now while my fury is at an all time high right now and if that hack Eddie or his side kick hack want to get involved we will put their ass to the ground…(Smokehouse gets hyped)
(Smokehouse):..YEAH….(HIGH FIVES MERLYN)
(Bookman): Let’s calm down…I can’t just move things around like that
(Merlyn): Yes you can, it’s Apex matters..
(Sykes): He has a point
(Bookman): Why not wait..>Sykes is going to go out there and take care of Ed and then you won’t have to worry about him
(Merlyn): That’s all great and everything and I do believe Sykes will finish Eddie off, But I want Diego Now..I want the title now…
(Sykes): Whoa there Merlyn…What’s the rush. I mean, I have been waiting as long
(Merlyn): But you have had your chances, this will be my first title shot in over ten years, it’s due.
Sykes takes a deep breath
(Sykes): Bookman, Make it happen…
(Bookman): are you sure you want your match Next Merlyn?
(Merlyn): Dam right
(Bookman): ok, consider it done, go get ready…(Merlyn and Smokehouse chest bump )
(Merlyn): Come on SJ, let’s go get Lenny
(Bookman): Lenny?
(Merlyn): Yeah, you won’t understand, don’t worry
(Bookman): But…(Merlyn and Smokehouse leave chuckling)
(Sykes), we cool here…?
(Bookman): yup…(Both men shake hands as Sykes leaves. Bookman picks up the phone and calls Talon to let him know of the change in the card as the scene fades)
The camera cuts to the face of Buddy Zent as the arena roars. It slowly zooms out showing Zent walking backstage, towards the exit. He has something in his hand, with red string dangling beneath his waist. The camera zooms in and reveals a VIP pass to the backstage area and then back to the face of Buddy Zent. He smirks, as he continues to walk and finds his way to one of the exits.
(Kelly): “Is that pass to the arena?!”
(Eli): “That’s right Kelly, I think he got them from Yogurtez!”
Zent hangs his head out the door and whistles. From around the corner emerges a young girl, scampering her way to the exit.
(Kelly): “Is that Holly?!”
(Eli): “Why’s she with Zent?! I thought she was after Leon!”
(Kelly): “I think Buddy Zent is up to something!”
(Buddy Zent): “Good evening Holly! [Taking a step back] Wow, must I say you look fantastic tonight!”
(Holly): [Giggling] Hey, thanks! Am I allowed in?”
Zent takes the pass from his hand and places it round Holly’s neck.
(Buddy Zent): “These don’t come easy, babe, you can go anywhere with this thing!”
(Holly): “Anywhere!?”
(Buddy Zent): “That’s right, anywhere! Even my...errr...Leon Corbin’s dressing room!”
(Holly): [Looking excited] Will you...will you take me there please Mr.Zent?!”
(Buddy Zent): “Holly please! Call me Buddy! Or Bud, if you like.”
(Holly): “Okay, Buddy! Can we go there now?”
(Buddy Zent): “Sure! Follow me, I’ll take you right to his door!”
With that, Zent lets Holly into the arena and slams the door. Holly runs ahead, over excited as Zent walks slowly behind him. The camera zooms into Zent, who’s smiling, and begins walking after Holly.
(Buddy Zent): “This way Holly! We’ll be there in no time!”
(Kelly): “What is he up to?!”
(Eli): “Maybe he wants to show her his main event!”
(Kelly): “Eli, please!”
(Eli): “Maybe he does!”
(Kelly): “I hope not! She’s in love with Leon, not Buddy!”
(Eli:): “That could all change tonight, who knows what he’s got planned!”
(Kelly): “Well only time will tell Eli, but up next…
Someone runs down from the back and tells the Ring announcer something
(Announcer): We have just received word, that the next match will be for the Aoex Championship.
(Kelly): Wow, bookman made it happen
(Eli): Why wouldn’t he, he makes everything happen…
(Announcer) First coming to the ring weighting in at Two-Hundred and Forty pounds, he now resides in Stanford Connecticut, he is managed by Smokehouse Jones…he is Merlyn!!!! The boos ring out with chants of “You Sold out” throughout the arena.
Merlyn comes out the back with Smokehouse by his side and a chicken in his hands
(Eli): What on earth is Merlyn up to now, hasn’t he ever heard of the bird flu…
(Kelly): I’m baffled, I have no clue what’s going on…I see Merlyn hasn’t changed all that much he is still crazy...is he calling Vega a chicken? but why does he have a fist full of cash?
He gets to the ring and hands the chicken to Smokehouse and rolls in the ring. Smokehouse then gives the chicken to Merlyn through the ropes…then the music stops
(Eli): This is ridiculous..
The crowd is starting to chant “GO Diego GO!”
(Announcer) and his opponent,
The crowd erupts as "El Rey" –by Vicente Fernandez nits the arena.
(Announcer) weighing in at two-hundred and thirty pounds From Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico …he is …. Diego De La Vega
Diego comes out the back with a lot of energy. He raises his left arm while slapping his chest twice with his right arm. As he walks down the ramp he exchanges high fives with people along the side reaching out to grab him. He climbs the ring steps and slingshots himself into the ring from the apron as flash bulbs go off. He stands and is looking right at Merlyn who is smiling and signals at the chicken. Merlyn is gesturing to Vega as to ask where is Vega’s chicken. Vega hands his title to the ref as the ref takes the title and is telling Merlyn to get the chicken out the ring. Merlyn shrugs and takes off his shades and hands the shades to the ref. Vega does not seemed please at this gesture of blatant disrespect. Merlyn then grabs the chicken with both hands and punts it out the ring as a small explosion of feathers burst in the ring and the chicken goes flying into the third row. The crowd is stunned, as is Vega
(Eli): oh Wow…
(Kelly): Poor chicken, what the hell is wrong with Merlyn.
(Eli): I see a lawsuit pending already from P.E.T.A
Merlyn stops smiling and walks right up to Vega and smacks him square in the face. The crowd let’s out an “ooohhh” Merlyn is telling Vega something as Vega slowly turns to face Merlyn. He wipes his mouth to check for blood. Merlyn go and slaps Vega again but Vega catches his arm and brings him down into an Arm Bar. The crowd erupts as he has Merlyn locked in square in the middle of the ring. Merlyn is in pain trying to reach the ropes. The crowd is on their feet
(Kelly): Wow, can Vega end it…
(Eli): Doesn’t Merlyn know this is for the Apex championship, why would he mess with Vega like this, to get in a man’s head is one thing, but to ignore him is another
Merlyn reaches over, Smokehouse jumps on the apron as the ref looses focus and goes over to Smokehouse telling him to get down. Vega releases the hold as Merlyn holds his arm and shoulder and rolls on the mat in pain. Vega reaches to grab Smokehouse but Smokehouse gets down from the apron.
(Kelly): If Vega has any chance to win this tonight he is gonna have to stay focused on Merlyn
(Eli): That in it self is a task..
Vega turns around and goes over and picks up Merlyn from the mat. He walks him to the corner, grabs his arm and whips him across the ring to the other turnbuckle, Merlyn reverses it and whips Vega across the ring, Vega runs and Merlyn Follows, Vega runs up the turnbuckle and leaps back and turns midway into a splash, Merlyn ducks and rolls, Vega hits but rolls out of it. Merlyn the charges with a clothesline as Vega get up. He ducks it and goes to run across the ropes but Merlyn grabs his mask and slams him down on his back. Vega falls and holds his head adjusting his mask but seems to be in pain holding his neck. Merlyn walks over and puts his foot on his forehead then stomps it. He leans down and holds Vega’s head and drops a knee on it. Merlyn picks Vega up and Body Slams him down then drops an elbow on his chest. Gets up and drops another, then another and goes for the pin as the ref drops down..1…………2…popped. Merlyn gets up and rotates his shoulder. He leans down and picks up Vega and puts him into a Power Bomb position, Vega grabs on, lifts his legs up and around Merlyn’s neck, he sits up then maneuvers up and behind Merlyn into a sunset flip and he pulls Merlyn and rolls him for the pin the ref gets down.1………….2..popped Merlyn breaks out gets up and quickly throws a knee to Vega’s face knocking Vega back hard. You can hear Smokehouse laughing loud from outside the ring. Merlyn gets up and picks Vega up and over and hits a brainbuster.
(Kelly): ouch…
(Eli): Vega doesn’t seem like he came ready for Merlyn
(Kelly): Maybe all that stuff earlier and the chicken actually got to Vega
(Eli): No, I doubt that he’s a pro..this is wrestling…
Merlyn makes the pin as the ref gets down ..1………2…popped. Merlyn is on his knees, looks at Vega as he runs his hand through his hair. He stands up and picks Vega up, Vega grabs his tights and throws himself back and launches Merlyn through the second rope outside the ring. The crowd is getting to their feet. Vega is on one knee. Smokehouse is helping Merlyn up who landed awkward. Vega gets up and tells the ref something, the ref says no, Vega runs and screams at the ref, the ref drops on all fours as Vega leaps off the Ref’s back and up and over the top rope with a Plancha and lands on Merlyn and Smokehouse. The Crowd erupts

Eddie tells Vega he will be by ring side for him, Both men slap hands as Vega turns his attention to Merlyn who is holding his back.
(Kelly): Wow Eddie just saved his friend
(Eli): But to what extent, this is becoming a very odd dynamic for Eddie.
Vega grabs Merlyn and sets him up for a pile driver. Vega goes to lift Merlyn but Merlyn legs go half way up and come back as Merlyn is trying to block the pile driver. Smokehouse starts to walk around the ring getting Eddie’s attention. Eddie walks around and walks towards Smokehouse as Smokehouse backs up.

Merlyn slides behind Eddie and nails him in the back of the head, then slides back into the ring. Smokehouse slides the chair into the ring, Merlyn picks it up as the red is trying to take the chair away,
(Kelly): Merlyn is going to get Dq’ed
(Eli): I think Merlyn is crafty enough to know what he is doing…Smokehouse and Merlyn are on the same page…there not your typical imbecile manager Wrestler Tandem.
Smokehouse slides in behind the ref, Vega is getting up on one knee and Smokehouse runs and devastates Vega with a running boot to the head and then slides out the ring.
(Kelly): Wow…that was calculated..
Eddie is on all fours…
(Eli): Who the hell is that,
(Kelly): it’s Gavin Rush, going over the railing to attend to Eddie.
Merlyn smiles and gives the ref back the chair as the ref throws the chair out the ring Merlyn grabs Vega and lifts him up by the head and goes to put him into “Greetings from St.Ides (Hanging Neck Breaker) and connects as the crowd is in shock as what is transpiring.

(Announcer): your winner by disqualification…Merlyn!
(Eli): Oh….Vega has been disqualified
(Kelly): Ok,, that is good for Merlyn
(Eli): How he doesn’t win the match on DQ..why was Merlyn paying attention to Gavin.
(Kelly): Maybe it was another calculation he was counting on Smokehouse to slide in and do something. Vega looks at Gavin as Gavin is in shock apologizing to Vega. Eddie pulls Gavin down and is talking to him in disappointment. Smokehouse rolls in and hits a swinging neck breaker on Vega and connects. Eddie see’s this and slides in. Smokehouse comes in with a big boot, Eddie sucks it and grabs Smokehouse into his Kraken Breaker, Comet gets in the ring and ask Eddie to let him go. Merlyn is getting up Behind Eddie, Gavin slides in with a chair but is cut off by Merlyn who nails Gavin over the top and grabs the chair.

Eddie is calling for Emt’s and is holding Comet in his lap, screaming for help, he puts up the X with his arms to call for serious assistance. Merlyn and Smokehouse are looking into the ring. Vega grabs the chair and goes out chasing them as Merlyn and smokehouse make their way to the back…

Sykes walks up to the car where Diego is out and bleeding, glass everywhere. EMT‘s and security are coming to help get Diego out of the car. Sykes smiles

(Sykes): What about my Match with Eddie
(Bookman) You bastard, go, go now, your match is now postponed…I’ll take care of it.
Sykes smirks, walks over and gets on his motorcycle and drives off.
(Bookman): Get the Ambulance. Come on hurry get him out he’s bleeding.
The truck stops as the door opens and we see Karl Sykes…
(Kelly): oh no…it was Sykes, Diego was set up!
The camera cuts to the face of Buddy Zent, he’s on iPhone, waiting for someone to answer. He’s hiding round a corner as Holly searches for him.
(Holly): {Shouting] “Buddy?! Where are you?!”
(Buddy Zent): [Talking on the phone, whispering] “Fernando..”
(Yogurtez): “Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “Is everything in place?!”
(Yogurtez): “Ci.”
(Buddy Zent): “You’re a good man Fernando, I’ll see you soon.”

(Holly): “Yeah!”
(Buddy Zent): “Okay, if I can just remember where his dressing room is.. ah! This way!”
(Holly): “We just came from there!”
(Buddy Zent): “I know, I forgot, come on, let’s go now!”
Zent storms ahead, as Holly looks confused. She shrugs it off and quickly catches Zent up as the camera cuts back to the commentators.
(Kelly): “Buddy Zent is planning something, I know it!”
(Eli): “Well he better hurry up, he makes his professional debut in just under an hour!”
(Kelly): “Well it’s going to be exciting to see him in the ring, finally.”
(Eli): “That’s if he gets to the ring! If Leon sees Holly with Zent, I don’t know if he’ll make it out here..”
(Kelly): “Well he look’s like a man with a plan Eli…
(Lou Manson is shown backstage talking to a reporter, who is asking him questions about his policies.)
Lou: ..... and that is why we need to curb government spending as soon as possible. We can't allow the deficit to baloon any further.
Reporter: I have to say Mr. Manson, you are much more articulate and knowedgeable than I expected.
Lou: Well, I'm used to people underestimating me. Might help me in the long run with the campaign......
(As Lou is talking, he spots Gravedigger walking down the hallway.)
Lou: Excuse me. I'll be right back.
(Lou walks toward Gravedigger.)
Lou: HEY!!!!!
(Gravedigger turns and notices Lou coming his way.)
Gravedigger: What do you want?
Lou: Are you serious? Get this thing fixed with Talon and Dredge now!!!!!! I've been talking to them and explained how you can't handle having to speak for yourself and that you need someone around to help you. Fix this thing before it's too late....
Gravedigger: Can't handle it on my own? Is that what I'm hearing. Let me tell you something Lou.....
(Gravedigger grabs Lou by the collar.)
Gravedigger: I can handle this just fine.
Lou: Easy big man. I'm your last shot at fixing this....... don't make this mistake.
Gravedigger: I'm not making a mistake. This is what must be done. And it's time for you to choose a side.....
Lou: You think I'd go against you big man?
(Gravedigger puts Lou down, smiles at him, and starts to walk away. As he does Lou chop blocks his knee, sending Gravedigger to the floor. Lou then signals for a group of hooded men to attack Gravedigger, with his knee being their main focus. After a few moments of assaulting him the men leave, and only Lou and Gravedigger remain.)
Lou: Ten years I've known you, and what have I gotten from it? I got some holes dug. I could have gotten anyone to do that. I've known Talon and Dredge for six months and they are my main political contributors. They've already done more for me than you have ever. You dug your own grave on this one, big man.
(Lou walks away as the reporter tries to catch him.)
Lou: Interview over.
(Lou exits the building and gets into a waiting limousine.)
