I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you.
Those words shake though the walls as a camera picks up a bench backstage at Summercide 2018.
Now do you remember? Who you are? What you were meant to do?
The camera pans up to Ijitu Quartz, who looks irritated. He hastily removes his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES and stares down at the floor.
I've left my mark. You have too - you've written your own history. You're your own man. I'm Quartz, and you are too... No... He's all of us. Together. Where we are today? We built it. This story - this "run" - it's ours.
Ijitu Quartz rolls his eyes as the camera zooms out. Ijitu is dressed in a white hoodie and long black tights, bearing the insignia of the Black Phoenix. He is sporting a spiked haircut with his signature blue streak down the right side.
Ijitu Quartz snaps his head and walks backwards, the back of his hooded shirt revealed.
"LEGENDARY"
A camera quickly slides over to the other side of the room. A pair of boots and camouflage pants are seen in the background, walking into focus.
Ijitu Quartz: Haha, your "mark" ain't no better than his was. He abandoned you. I bet he'd do it again too.
The camouflage pants stop in frame of the camera and the figure sits down on the bench, opposite Ijitu Quartz.
Ijitu Quartz: I didn't even want to win. Why want that? Hahaha! These dudes out here ain't got what it takes anyways. Win or lose in the ring, I was the one drawing these people.
The voice that responds is similar, yet deeper and less frantic.
The camera pans up from the man in the camouflage pants to reveal Quartz, sporting the same black jacket and red streak through his hair we've been accustomed to over the last 2 months.
Ijitu Quartz throws his head around aggressively and throws back on the PRISTINE SUNGLASSES. He stares straight forward with the trademark grin he was known for.
Ijitu Quartz: What do you know about entertaining anyone, Inness?! You're just like the rest of those mannequins out there, you know that!?
The camera shoots back to Inness Quartz, who runs his hand through his hair, staring down at his camouflage pants.
Inness Quartz: I'm glad to see you have taken some time to rest, you know.
Another hasty camera transition shows Ijitu Quartz once again remove his PRISTINE SUNGLASSES and look across the room.
Inness Quartz: You exerted so much energy and did a lot of damage to this body.
Inness Quartz: Rustin and I are close, you know. We're close to completing the mission.
Ijitu slumps down on the opposite bench, looking defeated and embarrassed.
Ijitu: This wasn't yours to complete, you clown...
Inness: You went too far. You tried too hard to prove to...
Ijitu: Don't say his gah' damn name.
Inness: ...You tried too hard to prove yourself. You weren't prepared.
Ijitu: You think you were? You think any of us were?
The camera spins around frantically again, focusing on another man in the corner of the room. This man, who also looks exactly like Quartz, is wearing small reading glasses and reading a large hardback book.
As the camera finds him, he peers up from his reading and looks at the other two Quartz'. He turns his head to reveal a black streak in his hair.
Inness: Intell realized early that this wasn't his time. When he took your place as I.Q., he found that the body had been broken down. Broken down by you, Ijitu.
Ijitu: Oh, I see. We here to point fingers!?
Ijitu Quartz shouts and jumps from the bench accusingly.
Intell (I.Q): Sir, I feel as if the particular behavior you're exhibiting now is what Inness is referring to.
I.Q. speaks in a higher pitched, more eloquent voice. Ijitu strikes a look at him before slumping back down on the bench and lowering his tone.
Ijitu: .....
Inness: You see, Ijitu. You allowed your own ego and arrogance to become the central part of your objective. You forgot about everything else.
Ijitu: .....
Inness: You continue to do it today. You laid dormant in rest for many weeks. Attacking your friend... our friend last week was simply a symptom of a bigger problem.
Ijitu: Rust doesn't know anything. He ain't got a clue what really matters, though.
Intell (I.Q): Do you?
Ijitu: .....
The camera pans around to I.Q and Inness before focusing back on Ijitu Quartz.
All 3 figures hold a serious and depressed look as they question one another. Inness stands up and paces around. I.Q. focuses back on his book.
Inness: Rustin is the only one that's ever counted on you. You attempted to abandon his loyalty to prove to everyone that you could.
Inness: Now look what has happened. The only man you've ever been able to count on has betrayed himself. He's allowed the anger to take hold.
Inness: The same way you did.
Ijitu: Better than taking the cowards way out.
Inness pauses his pacing and turns his head in the direction of Ijitu.
Inness: You're totally missing the point.
Intell (I.Q.): If we're all being sincere, have we really shown the proper signs of superiority?
Ijitu stands and attempts to answer before he's cut off by Inness.
Inness: No.
Inness strikes a look at Ijitu, who retreats back to the bench.
Inness: To ignore our weaknesses is to put fourth our largest weakness of all.
Inness: Tonight, I... WE are going to complete our goal.
Ijitu: .....
Inness walks over to Ijitu, who is still sitting.
Inness: Continue to rest, Ijitu. You don't deserve what this world is handing you.
Intell (I.Q): Tis' a cruel world indeed. Not for the faint.
Ijitu: .....
Ijitu: I hope you know that one day, you're going to be the one that lays dormant. When that day comes, I'm going to be the one back out there, back in control. None of this is my fault.
Ijitu: Enjoy it while you can, chump.
Inness pauses with a concerned face at Ijitu's comments. He slowly paces over and kneels down at the bench and looks at Ijitu.
Inness: I will not let you down.
The lights suddenly cut out and a banging sound can be heard faintly in the background. After a few seconds, the banging sound gets louder and louder.
The lights pop back on as the camera is solely focused on Quartz eyes, his red eye and hair being clearly in view. The banging continues as the camera zooms out.
Quartz stands up, revealing a completely empty room. The view shows the two spots where Ijitu Quartz and Intell Quartz were just sitting moments before.
Quartz walks towards the door, opening it to reveal a very focused looking Rust Cohle who nods at him before the two walk out of the room.
The camera pans around the empty room for several seconds before fading to black.

HEATHER ANGELO vs VALKYRIE

Holy hell! |

WOAH! |
Camera fades backstage as you see Code Jackman and CJ O’Donnell looking pissed backstage. Code kicks a bucket which goes flying into the air as CJ punches a vending machine.
A snickers falls down and CJ takes it out. He rips the wrapper open and then takes a bite out of it.
O’Donnell: THAT’S BULLSHIT!
Jackman: I know!
O’Donnell: Scumceity clearly paid the referee to screw us. Your foot was underneath the bottom rope.
O'Donnell: The pin should have never happened. I demand instant replay. I want the ref to take a lie detector test.
Jackman: Not only that but they should be tested for performance-enhancing drugs. Wrex had super strength and Fury was flying around the ring like he was Ant-Man on cocaine.
O’Donnell: More like the Wasp but anyway we will invoke our rematch clause the first chance we get. I do not care what type of match it is.
O'Donnell: For all, I care it can be a Fist of Fury match or a Wrex Rules or No DQ. Scumceity will learn the meaning of the word F.E.A.R.
Camera fades out.

Uncouth Referee's seem to be a thing lately! |

First H20 and now this! |
Mugen: That broken Ryu told us we had to find a trans-dimensional refugee here in our timeline.
Dupree: Yeah right after he burned you with that deez nutz joke, rekt by a ded trash, so sed.
Mugen scowls at Dupree, who gives his classic half smile.
The two wander around the backstage area until they reach catering. They sit at one of the tables and begin eating someone’s lunch while they try to figure out who this Refugee is.
Dupree: He is a trans-dimensional refugee right, maybe we should ask the trans-community?
Mugen: The Trans-community...you mean the B-community?!
Dupree: No the trans-community….
Mugen: So the B-Community…
Dupree: Who?!
Mugen: I don’t know you tell me.
Dupree: Sigh.
After a lunch or two they are surprised to find Ligermask hiding under their table. Oddly enough they haven’t noticed till now.
Mugen: O hai Liger!
Ligermask puts a finger to his lips and loudly whispers.
Ligermask: Que!
Dupree: We’re looking for a refugee LIGERMASK! He’d probably be somewhere around here hiding from the Sensational Splitters, LIGERMASK WHO IS HIDING HERE UNDER THE TABLE! Do you know who we’re talking about...
Ligermask: Ok! Ok! Just shut-up I’ll tell you everything! Just don’t let them find me!
Mugen: Huh wuh?
Mugen is confused at Ligermask suddenly speaking American flawlessly. So flawlessly he now craves a Baconator…..and only from Wendy’s because not all Baconators are created equally.
