The scene opens in the backstage area. 
Stacy Clark is interviewing Valkyrie 

Stacy: First of all, welcome back to Turmoil. It's been a while. 

Valkyrie: True. Feels good to be back here. 

Stacy: Tonight you will be facing Elsa Holmberg. She defeated Flojo last week, proving that she can hold her own in the squared circle. Any thoughts on your match tonight?

Valkyrie: Well, Stacy. I love Justin Jehst, alright? Everyone does. 

Valkyrie: And therefore, I’m sure I'm going to like Elsa as well.

Valkyrie: I'm not quite sure about Capo, though. I've had some issues with his girls in the past…

Valkyrie shows her bracelet on camera: it says “Love from Las Vegas”

Valkyrie: ...but Fairy Tales have many chapters. And I've learned that everyone deserves a shot at redemption. 

Valkyrie: I've heard Elsa is from Sweden. I'm from Finland. We have something in common, you see? She's probably able to speak Finnish just like I’m capable of speaking Swedish. 

Valkyrie: Have you ever been to Finland, Stacy?

Stacy: Actually no, I haven't. 

Valkyrie: Well, you should visit Finland or Sweden at least once in your life. They are both beautiful countries.

Valkyrie: I was born in Joensuu, a remote village in North Karelia, Eastern Finland. I used to ride my bike for hours and hours in the woods. I remember it well. 

Stacy: Speak of the devil…

Elsa can be seen approaching the two

Elsa: Oh hello, guys!

She comes closer into view.

Elsa: Valkyrie, I respect you. You are brave woman. You stand for the right thing. You fight with the honor. You fight with the courage. It will be honor to fight you tonight. 

Valkyrie nods as Elsa extends her hand for a handshake. The Norse-woman accepts and Elsa smiles.

Valkyrie: It will be a pleasure to meet you in the ring, one on one, Elsa. You have a lot of potential. 

Elsa: Thank you, I working hard with Justin to improve. 

Valkyrie: I can see him being a good coach; firm but fair. Good luck tonight. 

Elsa: You too. See you out in ring. 

The two exit the scene in opposite directions, as they get ready for their upcoming match

*****

Turmoil comes backstage to find Ijitu Quartz strolling through the backstage area with his Championship prominently displayed over his left shoulder.

Quartz: These matches have been… very average. No wonder this is the secondary show.

Quartz: Although the joint has been cleaned up a bit since the last time I graced these dummies with my presence. 

Quartz continues walking along the halls and stops in a familiar place.

Quartz: Ahaaa. This is where I spoke to that one annoying lady on 200. 

Several Turmoil staff members pass by as Quartz removes his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES and looks up into the bright lights. The screen flashes and reveals a flashback of Quartz standing the same way back at Turmoil 200, before flashing back to the current time.

Quartz: What was her name again? Jeff? Leroy? She had some kinda guys name.

As Quartz ponders his own question, a figure looms up behind him in a white suit.

Quartz snaps his fingers, realizing it and exclaims: GENE!

Quartz: It was Gene! Aha! What a stupid name…

Capo walks up on Quartz having an intense discussion with himself. His mind is telling him to keep it moving, but his eyes are observing the title belt draped over the shoulder of the Riot superstar. 

He then hears a familiar name come from the mouth of Quartz. This causes a series of emotions that Capo is forced to swallow, out of respect---but also because he doesn't wanna seem like Captain Save A…... the exchange between the two begins.

Capo: Well, well, well. It ain't a dime, it ain't a nickel. Aye Quarter…. I mean Quartz...

Capo: I see you out here shinin’, draped in gold my friend....That’s what I like to see. shinin’ with 15 lbs of Hardwork & Dedication. 

As Capo is talking, a wrestler dressed in Luchador gear cuts between the two of them. Capo starts to rub his nose in disgust not knowing whether to call the guy out for stepping between two bosses, or be appalled at the swanky old spice body spray and stetson after shave mixed. 


Capo: Pagliacci del circo!! You know these guys, they have no respect. Their bouncing around everywhere not watching where they're going. I wish I could get in the ring with 10 of them and just schmack somebody!! POOF... off with his MASK..(slaps hands)

Capo: But anyway, how have you been?

Quartz: Capooooo! I heard the rumors you were back full-time, but I had to see it with my own eyes. Lemme ask you a question. When am I going to see this scumbag in front of me back in the ring?

Capo takes his shades off, and looks Quartz in the eyes. He is perplexed at this question, but decides to tread as lightly as possible to avoid any misunderstanding… 

Capo: You know, I was just thinking the other day?

Quartz: What’s that?

Capo: That they don’t make em like me no more…. (Capo does the Scumbag Laugh as the two laugh together) 

Capo: You know, I'm always available for a little tango….

Capo looks down at Quartz shoes and notices he’s wearing wrestling boots, which are slightly hidden underneath Quartz slacks.

Capo: So, uh… What brings you to Turmoil?

Quartz hides an answer behind his smirk and deflects.

Quartz: Oh, you know. Just enjoying the show. You know I am not one to steal the spotlight. 

Quartz pulls his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES down slightly and winks into the camera.

Quartz: These people out here, Capo. They like to lie to me and they boo and hiss. What’s a guy gotta do to get a little love from the OCW universe? What have I ever done to anyone?

Quartz throws his arms up sarcastically, adjusting his title belt across his opposite shoulder.

Capo: They hated Jordan, Tyson, Tiger, Bird… They hate to see a winner... You know you and I have something in common. I see you with those shades… I call mine Hater Blockers… I can’t see em’.

Capo puts his shades back on and places his hands on Quartz’s shoulder. Quartz jerks back, surprised at the strength, but gives Capo the pass.

Capo: Just keep winnin’, because you're really losin’… And when you're losin’ you're really winnin’.

Quartz laughs at the advice, confused.

Quartz: Damn, Capo. I don’t understand what the hell any of that means, but man do you look good sayin’ it. 

Quartz: Hey big fella, I gotta run. Got some business to handle. You know what I mean. Keep holding these Turmoil clowns in their place. I’m sure we’ll like up sooner rather than later.

Capo: Turtle and the Rabbit my friend….Turtle and the Rabbit…

Quartz nods back to Capo and runs off down the hall as Capo scumbag laughs and the camera fades to black.

	We should be in for a treat!
	I don't need anything I had way to much food yesterday.
	I will say this though folks. Even though I am flying in the dark here in my #SafeSpace, I at least know who the mystery man is and would like to welcome this young man to Turmoil.

TJ Stevens vs ???

The camera pans to the announce team.

	A new challenger has emerged.
	What does this mean.
	#Shots Fired, welcome to Thirstmoil

A camera fades in from back to reveal 2 large TTT lockers. A small glare shines off the two metallic nameplates reading ’Quartz’ and ’Rust Cohle’. As it zooms out more, Quartz is seen kicking back in a RIOT folding chair looking intently across the room.

Quartz: Dammit, Ned. Your biker jacket isn’t tight enough.

A short, thin looking man is on the other side of the room, looking into a mirror and adjusting a crude looking biker attire. The back of his jacket reads “MooN MaN”. He speaks back to Quartz in a frail, high pitched voice.

Ned: You’re da one that picked it out. I told you not to use sharpie for the tattoos last week and you still did! I told you not to use those stupid suspenders two weeks ago and you still made me!

Quartz: Ned! Ned! Ned! Listen, man! I’m not here to point fingers. You’re creating a toxic environment right now and Rusty doesn’t need this kind of negativity. 

The small man shakes his head and looks back into the mirror, adjusting his attire. Rust Cohle is standing behind Quartz chair, observing the situation.

Rust: I think he needs more gray hair. 

Quartz: Rusty, you’re a genius. Ned!

Ned: I heard him, dangit! 

A powerful knocking is heard on the locker room door. Quartz turns his head to look in that direction, before looking back at Ned and leaning back in his chair to check his phone.

Quartz: Ned, get the door. It’s probably Spider.

Ned: Are you -- Egh. 

Ned finishes slipping on his pink bandana that reads ’owld cuhntree’. He stomps over to the door and reaches to open it. His face turns pale and he freezes up as the door swings open.

Quartz (Still looking at his phone): What’s up, Spidaaaa? You ready for tonight? 

Ned: Uhm… Hel.. Hello.

Quartz and Rust Cohle’s eyes look over in unison and get wide when they see who it is.

Nomad stands over the tiny man Ned, who seems to be dressed as a parody of him.

Nomad: Which one of you two can tell me who Rusty Hole is?

Quartz and Rust look at each other, confused, they look back to Nomad, then back at each other.

Nomad: I see no dicks in either of your mouths preventing you from speaking, so why aren’t you answering.

The two stand there staring in disbelief hat Nomad seems to have no idea who they are.

Nomad: Jesus….one of you must be able to point me in his direction.

Rust answers him with a stern tone.

Rust: I’m Rust, I’m the one who’ll be kicking your ass tonight.

Nomad chuckles under his breath.

Nomad: Finally..forgive me, but you can surely understand why I didn’t think it was either of you two. 

The two again look at each other with confusion. Nomad looks at each member of CQC before looking down at Ned, who is dressed like him, standing completely frozen. Nomad quickly steps forward, causing Ned to flinch backwards and scurry away.

Nomad: Well, for a start, look at you both...you (pointing at Quartz), you look like you sit down to take a piss…

Rust: Hah! 

Nomad:... and you (he motions his hand towards Rust), you are built like a vegan.

Quartz smirks at the insult and looks over at Rust Cohle.

Quartz: Meat is murder, buddy.

Rust: Shut up.

Quartz walks over to Nomad, who is still standing in the doorway. He stretches his arms sarcastically.

Quartz: Alrrrrriight. Well, I know your bedtime is coming up soon, grandpa, so I’ll keep it short. I wanted to thank ya’ for taking down H2NO at Anny. Kass would much rather deal with the arthritis biker than that idiot Harvey.

Rust saunters arrogantly over behind his tag team partner, placing his hand on his shoulder.

Rust: … and as far as OUR match goes, bonne chance. tu vas en avoir besoin..

Quartz: Yeah.. Ahah. 

Rust: Do you even know what I just said, dummy?

Quartz responds without missing a beat.

Quartz: Not a clue, Frenchie.

Rust: Listen, we really gotta get you in some French classes. This mis--

Nomad: ENOUGH! 

Both members of CQC step back after Nomad shouts to silence their nonsense.

Nomad sighs and mutters under his breath

Nomad: This epidemic is more serious than I thought.

He turns and walks out of the room 

Rust: ... Jeez. He has a real attitude. Maybe we should hold off on…

Ned: I agree! I do not wanna piss that guy off! You two dips banged me up the last two weeks as it is!

Rust Cohle shakes his head.

Rust: No Ned. Let me finish. I was going to say maybe we should hold off on the big pre-match dinner. I don’t wanna cramp up against the old man. 

Ned shakes his head and walks away.

Quartz: Rusty, Rusty, Rusty… Moon Man is a legend. You got yourself a reeeeeal fight coming up, but Sensation made it extreme rulez and CQC IS EXTREME.

Rust: Don’t spell things with a ‘Z’, please.

Quartz: EXTREEEEEEME! 

The camera fades to black as Cohle and Quartz laugh together inside the locker room.

*****

As the camera returns to the arena, Ashley Moore is making her way down to the ring, her catchy theme song playing over the speakers. As she walks she does not pay attention to the crowd and instead makes her way to the ring looking at her phone. 

After entering the ring she still doesn’t interact with the crowd, but types away on her phone. 

The boos which started when Ashley entered the arena are getting louder and louder now. 

Finally she takes a selfie in the ring and then starts to turn to the audience.

Ashley Moore: How about being quiet now? Because I’m going to talk.

The crowd stops its loud boos, but a few OCW fans start to chant:

Crowd: She can’t fight and she is dumb; and her name is Ashley Moore.

A few moments later the whole arena joins in and Ashley remains astonished.

Moore gets really angry, and as the chants become slightly quieter, she shouts to the fans.

Ashley Moore: Shut up now, maggots!

Valkyrie’s theme song hits!

She walks all the way to the ring, microphone in hand, rejoicing in the crowd reaction. She then turns her attention to Ashley

Valkyrie: I truly missed this place.

Valkyrie: Moore… why don't you leave the ring now and let me and Elsa do what we do best? And that's something you know nothing about: wrestling. 

Valkyrie reveals a piece of paper she was hiding in her pockets. She reads it out loud 

Valkyrie: You are lucky my list of dance partners is looooooong:

Valkyrie: I have to bury Heather Angelo...

Valkyrie: Alexa Hayes...

Valkyrie: Bertha… I'm gonna need a BIG shovel for that.

Valkyrie: Someone told me that eyebrows-less freak named Blain wants a piece of me as well, so. 

Valkyrie: As you can tell, I’m a pretty busy Princess. And it looks like my Fairy Tale is going to be a long one. 

Valkyrie: But don't think I've forgotten about you, Moore. You do not belong here in OCW. 

Ashley Moore: You little piece of...

As she speaks again the crowd goes full riot mode and you can not understand a single word anymore. But emanating from her facial expressions, it is definitely not PG.

Because the audience won’t go quieter, she decides to leave the arena. Right in front of the exit she turns around to address the audience and Valkyrie, still standing in the ring. 

However you can only understand fragments: I …. just…. suck ….

Then she leaves, furious about what just happened.

Valkyrie: Bye, bye!

Valkyrie waves as Ashley is leaving. She then addresses the crowd

Valkyrie: Guys. My match is next. Now I’m going back to the stage and make my entrance all over again.

Valkyrie: Why, you may ask. 

Valkyrie: *think emoji*

Valkyrie: Because why not!

Valkyrie leaves the ring, gets back to the stage and disappears behind the curtain

	These two should put on a show.
	Bombshells!
	Well not being able to see takes all the fun out of this match.

Valkyrie vs Elsa Holmberg

The camera pans to the announce team.

	That was something to see.
	You missed out Austin.
	100% can confirm from their actions Scumciety does not support women’s wrestling.

The scene opens up backstage as Flojo is training for anything that comes in her way. 

Code Jackman: Hey, Flojo is it? I have a question for you.

Jackman reaches behind him to grab something out of his pocket that has a list of a few questions. 

Flojo:’kaaaay?

Code Jackman: Where Can I find Bingo? I know you know where he is. I, I, I need to talk to him about a business plan. 

FloJo: Try some glory hole in the men’s restroom. He’ll be waiting.

Jackman looks at FloJo with a puzzled look and gets close to her. 

Code Jackman: I said where is BINGO!?

FloJo: Who do you think you’re yelling at, Magnum Queer I?

Code Jackman: I am going to take that as a joke. I’ll move on. Where are Bray and Ace?

FloJo: Are you serious? 

Code Jackman: Do I look serious?

Code Jackman eyes begin to twitch and sweat starts to build on his forehead. 

FloJo: Heh. Not used to a Black chick sticking up to you…? 

FloJo: Gonna ask where Nick is? Ya’ll are both Degenerates so you two can be friends. 

Code Jackman: Nobody cares about Nick. Nobody cares about Bingo. Nobody cares about Bray. Nobody cares about Ace. lastly, nobody cares about you!

FloJo: But here you are. Asking about them. Someone cares. 


Code Jackman: I am here to take care of some business. I have a business plan to do and Bingo will be involved. 

FloJo: Well, god speed to both of you. Don’t be touching the girls by the bowling alley, you mop- headed fuck.

FloJo begins to walk away from Jackman and Jackman grabs FloJo by the arm. 

Code Jackman: You better watch your back. 

FloJo: Fuck you

The scene fades to black for the next segment.
