The Camera Pans To The X-Tron
Christian Shepard makes his way down to the ring with the pomp and circumstance of an introduction. The mic is already in his hand as he walks with purpose, sporting the bruises from his encounter with Cort Marshall a few days before. Shep slides into the ring and begins to speak.
Shep: You think you know why I’m here… You think I want to call out that sorry excuse for human being. The waste of a roster spot that I won’t even give the honor of mentioning right now.
Shep: But I’m not because he’s going to get his no matter what. I’m here because yet again the guy at the top is over looking me! I’ve been kept off yet another show because I guess I haven’t done enough to be on the damn radar.
Shep: I’ve heard the rumblings of, Shep disappeared, Shep hasn’t done nothing since the waste of space lost his championship for him… I’ve been here but what can I do…
Shep: I can come down here now and hold up the show until someone comes out here and gives me what I want. Gives me my opportunity. The opportunity that I’ve earned by what I do in this ring. Give it to me.
Shep lays on the ring mat like a kid forced to watch the news.
Shep: I got all night, I know you don’t.
Shep rolls on to his back and kips up.
Shep: I guess you can say for the time being, “This is my house and you’re…
At that Shep is cut off by JCS.
Our Hero: That's my line....kid! Now is not the time for a temper tantrum. This is Road 2 Glory so act like you've been here before.
Our Hero: Look normally I would spend 77 minutes calling you an idiot but I got things to do, so I'll make this quick You want In Future Investment, you got it!
Shep looks very pleased but Our Hero Continues.
Out Hero: But so is Cort Marshall! See you in June!!!
Our Hero flips off Shepard as he walks to the back leaving Shep utterly livid!

The Camera Pans To The Announce Team!

He did it! |
|
Yes he did! |
As the camera fades into the arena we see the roaring fans waving their signs around. The camera focuses on a few lucky event-goers who, upon realizing they are on the X-Tron, smile and begin pointing to their OCW t-shirts, poking their tongues out, and generally going crazy until the camera changes back to show the Tron and the entrance area.
*ACTION*
“Persephone” begins to play across the speaker system as Justin Jehst emerges to a crowd who are mostly with him, but this certainly a small pocket of fans who are not so convinced he is innocent.
Dressed in a smart-casual Hollywood fashion outfit he makes his way down to the ring, walks up the steps, and signals to the stagehand for a microphone.
After receiving the mic he moves into the center of the ring and his theme slowly dies down.
Jehst: There’s only one reason I’m out here right now. It’s not you fans here tonight, though I wouldn’t be anywhere without you. It’s not OCW management, though I wouldn’t be anywhere near a wrestling ring without them, either. I’m out here for one person.
He walks towards the rope on the hard cam side of the ring and looks into the lens through his rose tint aviators.
Jehst: Elsa. I know you’re listening.
Justin backs up to the middle of the ring and looks towards the entrance ramp.
Jehst: Elsa, I know you’ve found it hard to trust me since that photo Capo produced came out, and I get it, I’d be wary of me too.
Jehst: But I need you to understand, nothing happened out there between Gene and I. Can you come out so I can talk to you? Please?
At that moment, Elsa’s music hits and she makes her way out to the stage area with a microphone in hand. She waves to the fans as she makes her way down the ramp but still seems a little reserved. Jehst smiles as she walks up the steps and onto the apron before entering through the ropes.
Jehst: I’m glad you came out here, Elsa, because the Jehst Man’s been doing a lot of thinking, a lot of self-reflection…
Jehst: I’ve been missing you, Elsa. I need you to know that I never betrayed my friend, and I will never betray you either.
Elsa begins to seem like she’s coming around as she lets out a half smile.
Jehst: That photo has done a lot of damage to me, yes, to my career, yes, but I realized that it’s also done damage to you; and for that, I’m sorry.
Jehst: I’m sorry that you’ve had to go through this mud-crawl with the media and the public, but rest assured I will get to the bottom of that photo if it’s the last thing I do. I will find the truth and I will get our life back to where we were; where we should be…
Justin takes a deep breath, getting a little emotional.
Jehst: Elsa, from the moment I met you I knew there was something special about you. And as I’ve gotten to know you that has only grown stronger.
Jehst: And while I’ve been a part of the Hollywood machine I’ve been told that romances don’t last, that I should just stay away and have my fun while I’m young and famous. Well, you made me throw that all out the window. Because...Elsa...I lov---
Before Jehst can finish his heartfelt sentence, a loud and familiar scumbag laugh can be heard reverberating through the speaker system, taking everyone by surprise. Capo’s theme music begins to play as well as the lighting routine for his entrance. Again, the response for Capo is a mixed bag, especially after Jehst’s speech.
He makes his way out onto the ramp with a mic in his hand and puts his hand up.
Capo: Cut the music!
The sound slowly cuts out.
Capo: It’s nice you two can kiss and make up, but Jehst, you and I have unfinished business to take care of!
Jehst: You’re damn right we do, Cap! You think I’m just gonna let you pop in and out whenever you please and continue to slander me?!
Capo: Oh? Pop in-and-out like you did to Gene out in the Poconos?
The crowd winces at the low blow from Capo.
Jehst: That’s exactly what I’m talking about! False accusations made by a man who didn’t even have the balls to come and talk to me about it man-to-man! Instead, you’ve become petty and bitter over something that never happened!
Capo: I know what I saw, Jehst, and to ensure I get my revenge on you, I’ve spoken to Mr. Sensation.
Jehst: That’s good, cos so have I!
Capo looks at Jehst confused.
Jehst: Because there’s been a trend with you, Capo; you never seem to be around, always disappearing. So to ensure that even if you do run away, even if you attempt to ghost from the arena, I will still be able to kick your ass and get the win…
Jehst: Because at Wrestlution 13, it’s gonna be Justin Jehst against Capo in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH!
The crowd pop huge for the announcement. Jehst lets their cheers die down after a few moments to continue.
Jehst: So come Lution, words and media and photographs aren’t gonna mean a damn thing when I’m beating you silly and driving your head into the ground for the 1-2-3! It’s gonna be “End Scene” for you!
Capo: Oh Justina, you're so cute when you're angry…*scumbag laugh*
Capo: Listen here pal, I’ve been away a long time, but don’t mistake that for being lazy. You see these 6-inch pythons? --- *Capo flexes for the camera* They’ll be ready to crack your head wide open this time, not your back.
Capo: And Elsa...getting with him? It’s your loss sweethawt... Let’s hope not literally come Lution… *scumbag laugh*...
Capo: J-E-H to da S to da T----I'M HOLLYWOOD MONEY [points mic at crowd]
Crowd: “YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!”
Capo’s music begins to play as he struts backward still laughing and makes his way out through the curtains and the scene fades to black.
