Ladies and Gentleman we are back on the scene! With RIOT 611!
We are LIVE!
DOC: Brooklyn, who wants to see a fight tonight!?
DOC: Well… unfortunately, that’s not gonna be happening, but not to fear, I got a consolation prize for all of you.
DOC: On this desk is a contract for a two out of three falls match between myself and Wrex for the CCW World Championship at OCW Hard Target. We’ve both seen it, we’re both happy, all that’s left is to sign on the dotted line.
DOC: So, Wrex, get your arse out here and let’s make this official!
With the two men now face to face, DOC takes a pen from the table and signs the contract first. He offers the pen to Wrex, who instead of taking it, gives him the middle finger and reaches into his pocket to use his own. With the match now made official, Wrex launches the closed clipboard out the ring and grabs a mic.
Wrex: ..Let’s be honest DOC, we both know what’s going to happen here, so- how about we just get this out the way?
DOC: So hasty… how about we pump those brakes a little bit big man. Listen, I’ve been impressed over the last few weeks, Wrex. Just like I said nearly 6 weeks ago, there is no one I’d rather face as my first defence of this great championship than you.
DOC: But… it’s time for you to face reality. Hard Target isn’t going to be anything like London Calling. Bolek might have a big future ahead of him, but he’s not on my level just yet. And I’ll give you props, that was a good stunt you pulled showing up in my backyard unannounced, but there’s gonna be no surprises next weekend.
DOC: Bolek didn’t have it in him to keep pace with you in London bro, but me? Trust me, I can go all night long.
Wrex: All night huh? Only all night?
Wrex: Lemme remind you about how my week went. Friday, I take a plane from Michigan to New York, I walk into Barclays, smack your buddy around, tap him out.
Wrex: And then.. I take a taxi to the airport, take the red-eye to your doorstep.. An hour of sleep between it all.. And I do it again.
Wrex: You can go all night? Buddy, I’ll go the whole damn weekend.
Wrex: One champ down, wanna see me do it again? How’s that for a gas tank, DOC?
DOC: Don’t get too excited, Wrex. I made a career out of stepping on people like you, just like I did at Summercide. Next week, with the whole world watching, it’s gonna be me that does it again, and again, and-
DOC is cut off by…
We’re backstage with the lovely Stacy Clark. She’s standing in a reclusive area of the arena with the former OCW Womens Champion Furiosa.
Stacy: Furiosa, you wanted to meet up here, Care to tell me why this place and not someplace else like at The Church or something? It’s dark and it smells down here.
Furiosa: The Church has been burning ever since Rust Cohle defeated Harvey. Kassidy Hayes has been dormant since he lost to Mark Reese. Sheldon lost his title and had two opportunities to defeat Perfect Storm. Chris Greene lost all hopes in becoming great when he lost to Harvey’s brother.
Stacy: You lost The Womens Title to La Mujera.
Furiosa closes her eyes while gritting her teeth.
Furiosa: I lost my focus on retaining the championship for Kasstianity by focusing on personally hurting La Mujera. I really thought she betrayed Kasstianity but she didn’t.
Furiosa: She saw the writings on the wall that The Church was burning to the ground and she was merely trying to tell me to get out. Had nothing to do with Rust Cohle.
Stacy: So you’re saying it has everything to do with Empress?
Furiosa: That’s exactly what I’m saying. That’s exactly what I’m saying. She and Harv -
???: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute!
Walking into the camera shot with their arms locked together is Empress and H2O. Furiosa is standing in shock while Stacy looks at everyone waiting for something to happen.
Emp: Don’t blame all of this on me. Like I said before, if you weren’t dancing around like Puff Daddy every week you would’ve seen this coming you mindless bitch.
H2O: Hey, now don’t stress yourself out over her. This will be over very soon.
Harvey brushes the hair away from Emp’s face and places it behind her ear. Furiosa's face morphs into something hideous while Emp and Harv talk amongst each other.
Stacy: Harvey, rumor has it that Empress isn’t the one that orchestrated the downfall of Kasstianity. Even your relationship with Empress is a lie. Is that true?
H2O: The truth lies in the eye of the beholder, Stace. What you see is what you get and as you can see here - there’s no Mugen around is there? No, it's me. Besides, The Church imploding has nothing to do with me or Empress.
H2O: Furiosa may not like it but no one cares about her. What people DO care about is this great woman. She’s the greatest woman that has ever stepped into OCW and she’s with one half of the greatest tag team in OCW history.
H2O: We’re setting off together to be one of, if not, the most POWERFUL couple this company will ever see.
Emp: I’m telling Spider you said that.
H2O: He’ll thank me later.
Furiosa snatches the mic away from Stacy Clark.
Furiosa: ENOUGH!!!!
Furiosa: I don’t know what head games you’re trying to play here, Empress. But it will stop right now if you keep it up!
Empress smiles and looks up at H2O and he returns a smile of his own.
Empress: You still have that gift I gave you a couple weeks ago to show her, Harv?
H2O: I thought I gave it to you to hold? Check your purse.
Empress checks her purse. Suddenly, Furiosa lunges at Empress and then receives the shock of her life.
A taser right to the gut of Furiosa. Harvey and Stacy take several steps back as Empress presses the taser harder into her opponent until she falls to the down.
Empress stops as she leaves Furiosa twitching on the ground. She places the taser back into her purse as she fixes her hair back over shoulders.
Emp: I didn’t see it in there, Harvey.
Harvey is standing there like a thinking emoji and then a light bulb goes off in his head.
H2O: Oh yeah, silly me! I kept it in my pocket that I never used in this jacket.
H2O digs inside his inside pocket and removes a small box. He shakes it in the air.
Emp: Come, Harv. I have other matters to attend to. My time was wasted here.
Harvey opens his arm as Emp raises her arm to lock with his once again. They look down and step over Furiosa to walk off camera.
Stacy Clark kneels down and checks Furiosa to see if she’s ok. She’s afraid to touch her because she’s still twitching.
Stacy: Someone send me some help please?!
EMTs come rushing in quickly and tells Stacy to back away.
We turn towards our next segment as Furiosa receives medical attention.
ROOKIE BATTLE HIFUMI MAYOSHI vs. BELLE
The scene opens with Paul Harris walking through the backstage area, determinedly looking for something.
He walks past several dressing room doors until he reaches the door for the Sect of Emancipation.
Paul stops in front of it. He looks to the left, and then to the right, before raising his hand to the door and knocks on it.
PH: It’s me, Paul Harris. Can I come in?
Parker: Of course!
PH: Thanks.
Parker: No problem at all, Paul.
Paul reaches down for the door handle, turns, and pushes with his wrist to open the door.
He takes a step into the locker room, and then another to the side before the locker room door closes and the scene fades to black.
