Camera pans to The Last Faction Standing. Austin Lee and B17 stand in the middle flanked by Jacob Trance and Archer.
Clark: B17, tonight you face your friend, and stable mate, in a match to crown a new CCW Champion. How do you feel about that?
She pushes the mic towards him.
B17: You know, Clark. I look up and down this line here and I see my boys.
#Austin snaps his fingers in Bingo’s face.
B17: I see men, different men. I see rich men, fat men (Trance cracks knuckles threateningly), Marvelous men, and Bingo men. And it helps to remind me about what I’m fighting for, yeah. Invictus is about the man fighting next to you, but tonight it’s bout the mano a mano. I face the Marvelous one and we gonna rip into each other flesh and bone. But it might end with a Living Bingo Color Champion or it might end a #Marvelous Champion, but either way it will end a Invictus Champion!
Stacy Clark pushes to mic towards Austin: How are you preparing for tonight?
#Austin: Like seriously what is wrong with you? Just stop, stop….
#Austin shakes his head sighing at B-17
#Austin: It doesn't matter what you see standing next to you nor does it matter who I see standing across that ring from me.
#Austin: This has been #Invictus’s goal since inception… Its very simple...To run Turmoil. Fast forward a year and look where we are….
#Austin: We have the money in Thomas Archer….The passion in B-17….The Dream of #Austin Lee and the Respect of Jacob Trance.
#Austin: 4 men who can all stand on their own but when we stand together we shake this entire place to it's very foundation.
#Austin: Now far as tonight it's brother vs brother…. A match that everyone has been dying for... . B-17 vs #Austin Lee… The Passion of Turmoil vs The Dream of Turmoil for the CCW title. We will show the world why I said last week we run this place.
B17: It’s a burning passion, Stacy. I can feel it when I sleep. It makes me sweat. I need to cool off, but I can’t! Because it needs to burn tonight.
Trance looks at B17 and shakes his head.
Trance: Know this, little chicken, you yap too much and I’m getting hungry.
#Austin: Make no mistakes about it tonight B, you will get the absolute best out of me. I expect the same out of you…
#Austin:We will see you out there tonight..
B-17 pauses as he takes a second to process what he just heard.
B-17: What do you mean, "We"?
Trance pats #Austin on his shoulder
Trance: Bastards gotta stick together,
Trance and Austin walk out of screen, Bingo watches them go suspiciously. Archer coughs.
Archer: That’s what Austin called himself while you were away on vacation, a Bastard. He and Jacob were quite the team, I even invested in them.
Archer pats Bingo on the back.
Archer: If anything I would blame yourself or the that young man Ashley Blain. Since you both wanted help and now help is here...
Archer: Don't worry about it though, I've bet heavily on Trance getting involved and leaving you in a puddle of your own excretions in the corner, so things will be alright.
B17: No one puts Bingo in a corner.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Big night ahead.
I can't wait for this one.
Frankie G vs. Jett Draven
The camera pans to the announce team.
Oh wow.
He got what was coming.
The camera fades backstage with CJ O’Donnell sitting on a long wooden bench in the locker room after his lost against the newcomer Mistico. CJ is out of his ring attire and in a pair of blue jeans with a black OCW T-shirt.
CJ: Son of a gun. Mistico is one tricky fella. I expected a luchador like himself to be a high flyer but he took me off my game. I didn’t expect that at all. I guess it is time to go back to the drawing board. I have to show why I belong here in OCW. Opportunities are everywhere now it seems. I need to show that I can be the face of OCW. I need to be the guy who little kids look up to.
A brief pause as O’Donnell stands up from the bench grabbing a black small suitcase.
CJ: I can be the guy who shows that hard work, determination and taking a chance pays off. I need to wrestle my type of match. I can’t let my opponent into my mind and throw me off my game plan. It is time for me to rise above all the hate. Rise above all the critics. Rise above all the crazies here in OCW and show that an average fella from Boston can be a role model for any one sitting in the stands.
We fade out as CJ exits the lookerroom.

Capo walks into his newly furnished interview space at Nassau Memorial arena. To his surprise, everything is already set up. The smell of fresh coffee and finger foods fills the air. The OCWFED had given Capo some space at the top floor of the building that was not being used.. It had been renovated and furnished with couches, loveseats, tables, desks and all sorts of technology. In the center of the room was an interview station. As Capo approached his interview area he noticed a gift from administration. He quickly ripped open the package to find a nice shiny golden pen and pencil with his name engraved, A desk plate with his name on it, and a small envelope. He opened up the envelope to read the card which said:
A token of our appreciation , don’t go stabbing anyone with this. Welcome…..
As Capo was reading, 4 interns ran up to him and started talking to him about various topics, segue’s, making eye contact, and overall things to remember when interviewing. As they were talking, fellow OCW rookie Justin Jehst enters the studio and immediately makes his way over to Capo.
Jehst: Is this where they're holding the auditions for the movie role? Wait… where are the others?
Capo: Welcome to the studio, Jehst. I have heard a lot about you in a very short time. Are you ready for the interview?
Jehst: My audition will be my interview, no? ...Wait… the desks, the cameras… IS THIS AN AUDITION FOR “ANCHORMAN 3”?!
Capo motions to the several people in the room that the interview is about to commence. Gene runs up to Capo and starts to make sure his makeup is right. Capo smacks her on the booty under the table while no one is looking. The two make some serious eye contact as Gene walks off.
Cameraman: We’re live in 5, 4, 3, 2,1 …
Capo: Good evening OCW fans and welcome to our first edition of Speak Easy, a brand new and refreshing source of news from around the OCWFED. I’m your Host DOING THE MOST!!, Capo Genovese, and with us today is OCW Rookie, Justin Jehst!!
Jehst: That’s right, Capo! You have with you here the PISS TAKING, HIP SHAKING, WRIST BREAKING, JUSTIN JEHST! Straight out of the sparkling lights of Hollywood, BAYBAY!!!
Capo: Ok so what are you doing here on my show? I got word sent down from management that you were the first person I needed to interview. You got pull or something??
The two exchange laughter and a quick dap across the table…
Jehst: Well it’s no secret the Jehst Man has been putting in work, and the higher ups have noticed it. Plus, my merch has been flying off the shelves! The people LOVE ME, daddio!!!
Capo:Ladies and Gentlemen, Justin Jehst---We’ll be back after these messages…
El Mistico vs. CJ O'Donnell
The camera pans to the announce team.
Hard fight.
They gave it their all.
As the scene fades in we see Justin Jehst about to descend the spiral staircase down into the Jehst Cave before being interrupted by Barry.
Barry: Justin! Where are you going? You have a match tonight.
Jehst sighs and turns around, making his way back up the stairs.
Jehst: I guess this will have to wait. Who is my opponent?
Barry: Ricky the Dragon, Master Jehst.
Jehst: Hmm… I like the kid, he’s tough. Reckless, but tough. Ok I guess I’ll get myself ready to go, we can carry out this mission another time.
Barry: Any idea on strategy for this match? With all that’s going on outside OCW I fear you may be losing sight of the reason you began wrestling in the first place.
Jehst: Hmm… Well you’re right in a sense, Barry, I did get into OCW to wrestle, to be the greatest superstar in the company, and take home some gold, but this is important too. Once this is over with we can work on getting my profile up and really break through the ranks of OCW.
Barry: And, Ricky?
Jehst: Well, like I said, I like the kid. It won’t be anything personal but if I have to cut him down to get to my next goal in OCW then it’s just an unfortunate circumstance for the young lion. Hopefully I can last long enough for him to get reckless to the point he concusses himself and I can hit the Re-Caster for the 1, 2, 3!
Barry: The what?
Jehst: The Re-Caster! It’s what I’m calling my finish now! Get with the times old man! Every match I finish my opponents with it, the next guy to step in the ring is just another audition for the role of a lifetime… a match with me!
Barry: Well I do admire the confidence, Master Jehst. Now, will you be needing your pink and white attire, or your dark teal and orange?
Jehst: …hmm…eenie, meenie, miney --- ummm… PINK AND WHITE!
Barry: I’ll get it prepared for you and get the driver ready to take you to the arena. You don’t have long, so get dressed and get down to the garage.
Jehst: Righty ho! I’m on it!
Jehst rushes off screen to get ready for his match with the young Dragon. Hopefully he makes the match in time!
