The scene opens in the Women’s Locker room.
Valkyrie is sitting on a bench, holding an ice pack firmly pressed against the base of her neck.
Stacy Clark: A rather disappointing night for you, Valkyrie. You are officially homeless now.
Valkyrie shakes her head.
Valkyrie: I can't believe it Stacy. I had it. It was mine! I won the damn match! I swear, Stacy. I had it in my hands.
Valkyrie: Then the lights went out! I felt someone taking the briefcase away from me. Then the lights went on again and what do I see: it was replaced with a new briefcase, a white one this time!
Valkyrie: And surprise, surprise! The Sensational Crush was right there, in front of me. They ambushed me, two on one. It was all a ploy! I got robbed! I WON THE DAMN MATCH!
Stacy Clark: Calm down, Valkyrie. I can tell it's not easy for you. But you should remain calm.
Valkyrie: Calm? I lost everything, Stacy.
Valkyrie: I lost the only ally I had left in this world, Harvey. One day he decided I wasn't cut for Inception anymore and boom! I found myself alone and on the road again, trashed by yet another friend I thought I could trust.
Valkyrie: Then Our Hero suspended me from Riot. He took my job, my dignity and my fans away from me. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do to get it back
Valkyrie: And now they took my apartment. Everything I had is gone.
A tear is now running down her cheek.
Valkyrie: Perhaps I was wrong Stacy. Perhaps Ashley was right.
Valkyrie: Am I really the Princess of this Fairy Tale? Where is my Happily Ever After, Stacy? Every Princess gets her Happy Ending at some point. When am I going to get mine?
Valkyrie: All I get is constant humiliations, week in and week out. When is this going to end?
Her eyes are watery, as she realizes that sometimes Fairy Tales do not have a Happy Ending.
Valkyrie: WHEN?! WHEN is this going to end, Stacy?
In that moment the door slams open.
A mysterious figure enters the room. Valkyrie recognizes her in a heartbeat
FloJo: Hi Valkyrie, I see that you lost your apartment to the idiots.
FloJo: Well, I have an vacant room at house if you need a place to sleep.
FloJo: I’ll even let you stay there rent-free until you get back on your feet of course.
FloJo nods at Valkyrie
FloJo: But that's up to you.
Valkyrie: Goddamn it Flojo! This is the best you can come up with? Do you realise what just happened?
FloJo: Oof
Valkyrie: Urgh!
Valkyrie facepalms, then takes a deep breath.
Valkyrie: Alright, look. I get it. You are socially awkward, but you are just trying to help. I'm sorry.
Valkyrie: Let's get out of here.
The two walk away together as the camera fades back to the commentary team.
As the scene fades in Capo comes out into the Certified Greatness arena unexpectedly, making his way to the ring with pace. His music does not play. The crowd begins to roar with emotion as the Superstar who has been on hiatus ambushes the sold out arena. The fans were not expecting to see Capo, who wasn't on the card. But as usual, and in rare form, Capo makes his way into the ring anyway.
Capo: I'm just gonna cut straight to the chase about this boombots, or buttagots, I should say Justina Jehst…
The crowd gets turned up as the Brooklyn native is about to speak.
Capo: He’s running around here, ahem! Excuse me, ‘rollin’ around here talking schmack behind my back now! You all know he is a coward…and if you don't know, you will know soon...
Jehst fans from all over start to boo Capo.
Capo: Yah yah yah, calm your tits you filthy animals…
Capo: But I’m here to clear the air!! Yeeeeeaa, I got it all here!!
Capo holds up a cellphone in the air and starts to parade around the ring. The crowd grows calm as Capo taunts some Jehst fans outside the ring with evidence.
Capo: Show the pictures on the X-Tron...
As the X-Tron comes on, photos of Jehst naked (although with the private areas blurred) in the kitchen of Capo’s luxurious vacation house come on the screen. In the footage, Jehst’s back is turned, but the crowd can tell it's him.
And standing in the same frame, though in the next room, separated by a feature wall, facing away from Jehst, is Capo’s ex-girlfriend Genevieve, or Gene for short. Although she is in the same frame of the photos she seems to be preoccupied, smiling while looking at her phone.
Neither of them are looking at each other and Jehst seems to be making a green smoothie of some sort. The pictures keep rolling and the crowd just sees Gene and Jehst both naked in various photos in the same places.
Capo: Alright CUT THE TAPE BEFORE THE PERVS N’ GREASE BALLS START WACKIN OFF!!
The crowd erupts with laughter.
Capo: You see, there it is. Your coveted man! Your trophy! Your humanitarian! In my vacay house with my girlfriend. It's why I left in the first place last year…It's why I am having a hard time transitioning back into this life. This guy was in my home, with my girl and lord knows what he did to her.
The crowd starts to get excited with humor of the possibility of a Jehst and Gene sex tape...
Capo: Where I’m from, you don't do that you your friends.
The crowd erupts with emotion as they begin to feel Capo’s sentiments. Chants of “Jehst’s an a**h***” start to fill the arena as Capo continues his rant.
Capo: I brought Jehst in…I saved him from being a B-roll Actor. He was headed for a life of lousy amateur porn, and I made him the star he is today!! I showed him about this life I lead. You know how I do…Always shinin’ high profile, livin the life! That’s all me….I am Hollywood G!
Capo poses for a few pictures as cameras flicker everywhere. The crowd starts to get louder.
Capo: When I saw those photos, I wanted to rush in and beat the breaks off him. But what good would it do? I saw it with my own eyes and it broke my heart. As you know, I had already kind of lost Gene as she was caught up in her Flojo rage. Showblitz took her away from me…
Capo: So I took some time off...I decided to let this just be…But when I returned, I wasn’t over it...And my anger was compounded by Jehst walking around with his chest out as if he is some valedictorian for OCW.
Capo: Parading around like he aint a SCUMBAG like me!!!
Scumbag laughs fill the room. The energy and emotion is electric as Capo has full control of the mic.
Capo: OCW has been missin the DRAAAAAMMMAAA!!
Crowd: “DRAMa DRAMa DRAMa”
Capo: I'm here to bring back the DRAMA that is my middle name: CAPO DRAMA GENOVESE!
Capo: And I won't stop until I put JUSTIIIINA---YEAH!! JUSTINA JEHST UNDER THE RING!!!
As Capo utters those words, the speakers blast “ACTION!” as Jehst's theme hits. The crowd, now mixed in their reactions, don't know how to welcome him into the arena. He hobbles in on his crutches with Elsa in tow but stops on the stage.
Jehst: You thought locking us in our dressing room would keep me from coming out here and putting a stop to this playground Chinese Whispers campaign?
Capo: There's no rumor anymore Jehst!
Capo points up to the X-Tron which Jehst looks up at and is taken back by the images he sees on screen. Elsa looks at Jehst in disbelief.
Jehst: Wait, wait, wait - you took pictures of me naked?
Capo: That's what you're taking away from all of this, Justina? You see someone else in that shot?
Capo: Listen to this guy…..Hollywood acting all camera shy...
Jehst looks at the screen for a moment then back at Capo.
Jehst: Is this some kind of sick joke to you, Capo? These are obviously doctored in some way!
Capo: These pictures beg to differ, Justina.
Jehst: I wouldn't put it past you to Photoshop this, you scumbag!
Capo starts to applaud and urges the crowd to join in. Applauds fill the room…
Capo: Great acting going on here tonight folks. We should have charged you more for the tickets to see Justina Jehst live tonight!
Jehst: This is all a misunderstanding, obviously!!!
Elsa: I can't believe you doing this!
Jehst: No, Elsa, this didn't happen! He's playing these games because he's jealous of me! He couldn't keep up with me in the ring so he left! This is all doctored!
Capo: Couldn't handle you? This guys on way too much OXY...Your back still hurtin’ Justina?
Capo: Justina, its all out there. The gig is up! I admire your enthusiasm at sticking to the script Great lieing, I mean acting. (Starts to applaud again)
Elsa rips her hand away from Jehst and storms off back through the curtain, looking like she's about to cry.
Jehst: Wait, Elsa, you know he's just - - -
Justin looks back to Capo.
Jehst: - - - You asshole! You won't get away with this slander!
Capo: Slander or truth? I'll let the people decide. All they have to do is look at the evidence!
Jehst: You're as bad as the tabloids you jackass! And when I'm done with this rehab that YOUR JEALOUS ASS CAUSED FOR ME I'll be doing just what I said I would and that's make sure Sensation puts us in the ring together so I can beat the vindictiveness out of you!
Jehst looks back to the entrance curtain.
Jehst: Elsa, wait!
Justin drops the mic and adjusts his crutches before making his way back through the curtains.
Capo: That's right, run along, Justina! Shows over folks!
Capo does a sarcastic wave while scumbag laughing before exiting the ring as the scene fades out.
As the celebration continues the camera cuts back to the production truck the sound of a headset rumbling is heard as people exit the truck hastily.
That sound was OCW Hall of Famer Nate Ortiz slamming his headset and the crew is wisely exiting as they don’t know exactly what the former champion is going to do.
Dressed in his Sunday best Nate leans over the control board.
Nate: *Sigh…*
Nate runs his hand through his hair as he sees the champion’s celebration continue. He methodically removes his jacket, grabbing two items and setting them on the control panel before neatly folding his jacket and placing it on a nearby chair.
Nate: I guess it’s time for me to do things myself.
The camera zooms in as Nate reaches for a pair of black aviator glasses. He puts them on and shakes his arms a little bit. Next, he grabs a jewel incrusted lighter, property of Hall of Famer Versus, and flicks it on and off.
This lighter is familiar to longtime fans that remember when Nate in a fit of rage set the Revolution Inc. locker room on fire with his faction mates inside at Road 2 Glory 2006.
Nate reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. With the push of a button he’s connected to whoever he wanted on the other end of the line.
Nate: Get the 151 ready…
Nate places his phone back in his pocket and begins to walk. Like a monster in a horror movie he is out of view and then appears right in front of the camera. With shades on the camera catches a glimpse of the Fame member, the static for a few moments before the OCW Logo appears on the screen.
