MANHATTAN CENTER, NYC

The camera pans to the announce team.

	Welcome to Riot Episode 436! Coming to live from the Manhattan Center!
	Is it just me or is this place getting smaller!

	It's you! We are coming to just 2 days removed from Savage Lands and OCW is still reeling!
	It's gonna be a barn burner for sure!

The Camera Pans To The Ramp!

As the fans pop for Pugh he points to his left ear, apparently referencing the injury suffered at the flying elbows of the KO Kid.

Pugh: Huh?... I mean... You gotta be louder if you want me to hear you guys.

He sticks his finger in his ear again, as if trying to scrape out a heavy wax build up.

Pugh: Now... I thought I'd try something different tonight. You all know I'm British right? So lets go for some cockney rhyming slang. You know what that is right?

The fans cheer

Pugh: What?

They continue cheering as a genuinely deaf looking Pugh struggles.

Pugh: What?

FANS: WHAT

Pugh: WHAT?

FANS: WHAT...

Pugh: Alright shut up. Cockney rhyming slang... I'm feelin a bit mutton Jeff mate...

FANS: WHAT...

PUGH: MUTTON JEFF... IT MEANS...

He catches himself and quietens down a bit

Pugh: Sorry... all that damn shouting. So at Savage Lands - what happened? Well I'll tell you. I look me tree root... Boot. I shined it up white rice...

Pugh: Nice. and I stuck it so far up Mugen's 'arris he was tasting me real mo-caps... steel toecaps.... Granted this isn't rhyming slang at this point -

Pugh- I'll be honest I'm still a little delirious after what happened. See... at some point during that fight... that brawl if you will - my eardrum was exploderized.

Fans: WHAT

Pugh: Yes. Blown to a million pieces by an unsafe worker. In fact... So deaf I am in my left ear right now that I can't hear the cries of of the ex wives. I can't hear the whining of the ungrateful children. Tinnitus is not fun people. Sure, its hilarious to hear the same annoying noise constantly, over and over - hell we've all been experiencing the pleasure of never ending Leonheart promos for years right? But alas... The doctors - they tell me that I may have mooned my last sault.

He grins as a clip from Pugh's injury starts rolling for the audience and fans at home to watch.

Pugh: They tell me that I may have Pugh'd my last degree. I may have Rudo'd my technico once too many... you see ladies and gentlemen - while temporary deafness caused by a flying elbow is hilarious - the serious side of this is that I can't stand up straight. My balance is shot, and as I live and breathe.

Pugh: I'm finally out of action. Not through choice you understand... but the Championship contract in OCW dictates that if you can't defend a title within 30 days then...

The Camera Pans To The Ramp

Mugen stands right up to Pugh and looks right at the World Heavyweight Championship still on Pugh's shoulder. Pugh smiles as he pats the belt in front of Mugen. Mugen holds his microphone to the side of his face while never taking his eyes off of Pugh.

Mugen: Paul, old friend, you might still have that belt on your shoulder but one thing doesn't change. You are still standing in my ring and you work in MY company dummy.

Pugh: Yawn, tell me something that I haven't heard. What do you want?

Mugen: Well, I was in the back when I heard you talking about your injury. Did I hit you too hard at Savage Lands? Did I give you a big boo boo in your ear? Aw I'm sorry

Mugen licks his index finger and reaches out towards Pugh's ear for a Wet Willy. The surprised Pugh slaps away the hand before it can reach any further.

Pugh: What the hell is wrong with you?

Mugen: What's wrong with me? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME IS THAT YOU ARE A FRAUD THAT STILL HOLDS WHAT I DEARLY WANT.

Pugh: Kindly step the f back before I rattle your little canary.

Mugen stares a hole through Pugh as he soaks in the last comment. Before we know it, Mugen starts laughing and stands to the side slapping his knees.

Mugen: Oh my god, YOU! You are still one of the funniest people I know, gotta hand it to you. No, I'm not going to cry.

Mugen gets back into Pugh's face.

Mugen: We are just going to fight again for that belt of yours you pansy little punk.

Pugh: ...and I thought I was the deaf one? There is no rematch - I can't fight.

Mugen: What? I couldn't hear you? I'm sorry I must have a ruptured eardrum as well. All I heard is that you wanted to fight me again and put that belt on the line again.

Pugh grabs Mugen by his suit jacket.

Pugh: ...I earned the right to defend this when I want. Not when YOU tell me to.

Mugen: Did you forget something I said at the Riot before Savage Lands? Let me remind you since you've clearly forgotten.

Mugen pushes Pugh's hand away from his suit jacket and fixes himself up.

Mugen: I said that if you won our match that I might just suspend you, or I might send you over to....*GASP*....Unleashed. But I wouldn't dare send you to Unleashed and you can thank me for that. What I am going to do is demand that you and I fight for this belt again or else.

Pugh: Or else what?

Mugen: Or else......you are going to have to relinquish the belt to me.

Pugh: I don't think that's going to happen is it?

Mugen: You think that you have a choice around here don't you. If you say you won't fight me because you are injured, then all the more reason to take the belt away from you.

Mugen: You are nothing to me. You can't provide the OCW Universe with a match and you can't provide me a fighting champion. On the other hand, I can be the fighting champion that OCW needs.

Mugen reaches his hand out and points at the belt. Pugh sighs and sticks up his middle finger into Mugen's face

Pugh: You can go screw yourself.

Mugen: Awwwwwwww man why does it have to be that way between the two of us? SECURITY please remove this man from my ring.

Security officials start coming down to the ring and ask Pugh to leave the ring. Pugh pushes the security officials out of the way as he leaves the ring. Mugen waves at Pugh as he is escorted up the entrance ramp and backstage.

Mugen: Bye Pugh, see you later because as of right now...........YOU'RE SUSPENDED DUMMY.

Mugen delivers his signature laugh in the ring as the scene cuts out.

	An emphatic win!
	Indeed!

Stacy: Kassidy!

Turning to face OCW's greatest reporter, Hayes scoffs and looks down at Stacy in disdain.

Kassidy: What is it now you little wh*re?

Already appalled by Hayes's attitude, Stacy maintains her professionalism and moves on to her questions.

Stacy:At Savage Lands, many were shocked by your actions against your former Ragnarok partner Xander Rane. Any words on your motive for such a cruel attack after what was an emotional match between him and AC Cobra?

Kassidy merely stared at Stacy and smirked before turning to the camera to answer her question.

Of course, before he could do anything, the Rain Man himself came running in and knocked Hayes flat with a steel chair to the head.

Then, before he could regain any semblance of awareness, Xander picks him up and drops him right back on his head with a DDT onto the very same chair. Kneeling down before his former friend, he says:

Xander: Don't bother, I don't care. All I know is that I see your point, and I agree completely. You've started a fight, and I'm more than willing to bring you a war motorscooterpants!

After apologizing for interrupting Stacy's interview, Rane walks off, having made his statement loud and clear.

He then comes running back to grin at the camera.

Xander: By the way, sorry Tre, looks like you need a replacement for your match. Don't worry, I'll be there.

With a wink to the camera, he jogs off screen.

The camera pans to the announce team.

	Well hell that escalated quickly!
	Looks like we are getting Tre Golden vs Xander Rane!
