Matsuda collapses overcome with emotion as HIS Ex-Division title is handed to him by the referee as his arm is raised. He clutches the belt, holding it over his heart in the way one might hold their own child. The valiant former champion has yet to recover from numerous super kicks, struggling to sit up, perhaps even unaware of what had just happened.
Slinging his Ex Division title over his shoulder, Matsuda signals to ringside for a microphone, an overjoyed Minami fetches her beau a microphone from the announce table.
Matsuda: [struggling to catch his breath] Two weeks ago, I took away your home!
Matsuda: This week I took away your focus!
Matsuda: Now, I just took back MY title!
Matsuda cannot contain his excitement.
Matsuda: Derrick, you wanted to make changes to this title. To my title. you wanted to change policies. Matsuda's new policy is to break my enemies until there is no one left but me and my compatriots!
Matsuda: And now… I take your career!
Matsuda motions for Junichiro, who quickly brings him a chair. He folds it over Scofields right arm.
Matsuda: You wanted to break my arm?
Matsuda stomps on the chair which contorts over Scofield's elbow.
Matsuda: You really thought you could break MY arm?!
Matsuda proceeds to stomp on his arm again.
Matsuda: Heres a lesson rookie.
Matsuda climbs to the top rope with microphone in hand.
Matsuda: Good guys lose. Bad guys win. And the villain…
Matsuda makes a Parker Stevens-esque diving stomp onto the chair. Scofield writhes in pain as paramedics rush to the scene.
Matsuda: Goes over!
Matsuda raises his title and the scene fades to the roaring disapproval of the capacity crowd.
The Camera pans to OCWFED Commentators Charles Scaggs and "Big" Al Poling.

Rookie needs to learn his place on the Totem Pole! |
Voice: 300 days.
We join Paul Pugh who is standing backstage in the OCW promo area, wearing a plain black hoody and looking a lot more focussed than we’ve seen him recently.
Pugh: The longest single reign of any Hardcore Champion – the 2nd most defences of any title with 14… All in the past. All for nothing because I took my eye off the ball… So obsessed was I with getting Dupree back for covering my family in a festive spittle, that I forgot all about what should have been most prized… what should have been my main focus… and Gibbs swept in and took it all away…
Pugh scratches his head as he cracks a smile.
Pugh: Tiberius – tonight we end this. No lollygagging, no pussy footing… tonight I take my revenge. Tonight I go back to basics, focusing on what I do best - winning wrestling matches. No more mind games… tonight is about hurting each other… Dupree – I fully expect you to match me every step of the way… but when the dust settles… there will only be one winner… and you’re looking at him.
Pugh turns to the OCW sign behind him, looks back, and smiles
Pugh: …You see you can bring as much Betterness as you want… but my ego… my talent will always outdo you… outshine you… Dupree - I will see you out there…
He leaves the interview area in a huff as the scene fades
The Camera pans to the announce team!

It's Ultimate Submission match time now - in one corner, former Hardcore Champion Paul Pugh - a skilled submission practitioner, opposite him - Tiberius Dupree... A former World Champion, and a skilled submissionist in his own right... Who will come out on top in this 20 Minute battle? |
|
Betterness prevails Scaggs. If they could bottle Betterness, everybody would buy Betterness... He should talk to the dude who bottled Buff Blaster... you know how much Sean McGee makes a week off that trash? |
|
I don't... |
|
Millions and Millions of dollars Scaggs... (He takes a sip of new BUFF BLASTER CITRUS BURST). Wow...That is disgusting... on with the show. |
TIBERIUS DUPREE VS. PAUL PUGH

OH MY GOD! |

Right down to the wire! |
We cut to the usual scene of the Mania Tour Truck sat inside the parking lot, unlike recent weeks where the Truck would be surrounded by a mist of bong hits and joint tokes from the masses of Spoonermaniacs gathered outside, tonight the Truck sits alone not a Maniac insight.
As the camera approaches the Truck we catch a glimpse of OCW's Chris Mania sitting by the opened serving window at the side of the Truck shuffling a deck of cards, he notices the camera approaching and proceeds to cut the deck and flip over the top card, which is revealed as the title card of the BRAND NEW! OCW Legends Trading Card Game...
He reshuffles the deck and again flips over the top card, revealing OCW Hall of Famer and former OCW Champion Majin
Mania: Straight out of Charlotte North Carolina walks one of the most twisted and dangerous men on the planet, a mutual admiration of those cut from a similar bloody cloth allowed the sadistic bastard to explore the depth of his dark imagination to become one of the most cruel and brutal men to ever step foot inside an OCW ring... This man would beat you then beat you.
He shuffles the card back into the deck and again flips the top card, this time it's former OCW Champion AJ Phoenix.
Mania: (singing) Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time ya will.....
Mania: You heard the guitar tearing through the speakers and ya knew it was time to sit the hell down and take note cause this guy was one of the best, a master technician with a lethal striking array combined with an unmatched knowledge of submission holds. We were never on the same page, he was a rich douche and I beat him for his title, then I was a douche and stole his company leaving him penny-less and unemployed, things are unresolved... He's doing much better now though, he and his wife opened a Hollywood Hair Salon in Tokyo, I believe Matsuda recently went there.
Once more Mania shuffles the card back into the deck and flips over another card, this one is...
Mania reaches into his pocket and pulls out his lighter, with no hesitation he rolls the flint and ignites the lighter, quickly bringing the card over the flame which catches on fire instantly, he lets the card burn for a few seconds before throwing it in a nearby ashtray and picking up the rest of the deck.
Mania: Sorry if ya missed it but I believe that sums him up.
Mania flips over another card revealing OCW's current, reigning and defending World Champion Parker Stevens.
Mania: Ahhhh Parker, welcome to the deck. Need I say more really? You're all quite aware of this guys history, he's still walking these hallways, still on your television screens week in week out, cutting through opponent after opponent, I've been in the ring with this guy many times so trust me when I say his legacy is still blooming, Parker Stevens will be a major player in carrying this company forward for the next few years.
Mania shuffles the cards and flips the top card one final time which reveals as his own Legend card, he takes the card off the deck and holds it up for the camera.
Mania: (reading from the card) Chris Mania, The Spoonman, Hometown of the Rhondda (Ron-tha) Valleys in South Wales, trained by OCW Hall of Famer Karim and BlooDsTainD, two time OCW North American Champion, Hall of Fame class 2010.
Mania: I'll save the bio for another time but you'll all notice there's a significant lack of accolades here on my card a glaring example being the OCW Championship, for as many years as I've been here the OCW Title has never been around my waist, infact I've never even fought for it, I had an opportunity once but an injury sent my ass to the back of the line and the chance never came around for me again.
Mania: I've always played it off as though I wasn't bothered about it, that I wasn't bothered about being OCW Champion, that my North American Title reign was enough and I was just happy being out there doing what I'd always dreamed of, wrestling in the biggest company in the industry and entertaining the crowd win or lose...
Mania: The ability to connect with a group of people and in an instant send them into a frenzy with a few words on a microphone or just hitting a signature move, it send chills down your spine, the appreciation shown to you by the fans becomes something greater than a chunk of gold screwed to a piece of leather...
Mania: (reading from the card) In 2006 Spoonermania is born and begins running wild all through-out the wrestling world quickly becoming one of the biggest and strongest forces known to man and Spoonman alike.
Mania: I've been so fortunate in my career to have such a crazy and phenomenal fan base, they've followed me through thick and thin, we've won championships together and we've lost championships together. Without question the Spoonermaniacs are the biggest reason I'm in the Hall of Fame, they've made my career...
Mania takes the card and shuffles it back into the deck before shooting the cards out of his hand towards the camera, Mania's card hits and sticks to the lens before falling to the floor.
Mania: For all the support, for all the appreciation and for all these years, I owe them an OCW Championship before my time in the ring is done... When is that time Chris? I hear you ask.
Mania holds both hands up for the camera displaying all 10 fingers as we fade to black.
