The camera flickers on as the fall has given way to winter. In the snowy enclave of Upstate New York, the Camera pans to Mourning-wood, Penitentiary.
It has been 7 Months since the C.E.O of Online Championship Wrestling has been incarcerated. Under the Iron Grip of Guybrush Ignacious Fausto, the Voice of Our Hero has been all but forgotten.
As Leonheart mans the helm of the Juggernaut that is Online Championship Wrestling, one has to wonder what if its original master?
As the camera pans around the walls of solitude we come across a dimly lit cell. Devoid of light we can make out The Greatest Ally in the History of OCW, The LORD SHARK. As he is perched vigilantly on a small desk. 2 Massive arms expose themselves from the cell. One covered in tattoo's and another untouched.
Our Hero: Time stands still when you sit in a cell. I've watched the season's change, I've seen this place go from a country club to what it is now, prison. I've seen O.M.G make a play for my Freedom, I've seen Matsuda make a break for it to the outside. But here I wait, not because I want to, but because I have to.
Our Hero: This is what I deserve for all of my past sins, my father always told me, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Well I'm doing the time. But know this, Freedom is but a fleeting moment.
Our Hero: You cannot stop the signal!
The arms retreat back into the cell, as Our Hero begins to hum (Wilson Pickett, Midnight Hour)

I hope he publishes his memoirs... |
 |
PLEASE COME BACK... WE NEED YOU! |
|
Lets go backstage. |
Riot switches cameras to one located inside THE BOSS of OCW's personal office, where Sean McGee and Leonheart appear to be engaged in a conversation regarding Sean's new look. Oddly enough he doesn't seem to be holding a grudge about having to compete in a handicap match tonight, due to Leonheart's interjection.
Leonheart: "This isn't exactly what I meant when I suggested you go find yourself"
BUFFNESS: "The highlights accentuate my Buffness!"
Leonheart: "You look like a super villain from a Marvel movie!."
BUFFNESS: That's good because I am going to go GOD OF THUNDER on Mugen and Dupree tonight. I should thank you tonight I am going to prove why I am the man of steel behind the wheel. What's Tiberius going to do when when The Black Superman runs wild on his betterness. How is Mugen going to act, when he gets BUFFNESS ATTACKED!!!
Just as Leon starts to rethink the look the door to the office flies open and a black leather jacket goes zooming in the direction of BUFFNESS' head. He hears it coming, dodges it, and it lands square in the lap of Leonheart.
Cody Storm: "Where exactly were you?"
BUFFNESS: "I've been here the whole time, where would you like me to have been?"
Cody takes a step further into the office with his arms flailing at his sides loosely gesturing in the direction of the ring.
Cody Storm: "I don't know.... MAYBE OUT AT RINGSIDE! You know, backing me up, as has become the habit of the two of us over the past ten months? It's not exactly a novel idea now is it?!"
BUFFNESS: "And why would I have been out there? It's not like you're going to be out at ringside for my match? So why should I help you?"
Cody turns to Leon with his jaw hanging down from the rest of his face.
Cody Storm: "He's joking right? It was a bit of a rib? He just knew I could take out James Rose. He's not truly trying to draw a comparison between me being banned from ringside and his simply choosing not to be out there right?"
Leonheart: "..."
BUFFNESS: "I don't get backup, you don't get backup. Fair play."
Cody turns his back on the two men, headed for the door.
Cody Storm: "I can't, I can't....... I'm going to rip his head off, I just.... I can't. I'm heading back to the hotel, I'll see you all when we pack up to head out for the next town in the morning."
As Cody walks out of frame you can see him pointing to Leonheart and mouthing the words "This is your fault" Leonheart just shrugs and says "Deal with it" And with that the scene ends.

BUFFNESS vs Mugen/Dupree
|
Well... who saw that coming? |
|
I DID SCAGGS. IT WAS ME! |
|
You're grating. I don't like you. |
The scene fades in to the site of Tobin Frost and Nate Ortiz sitting on recliners in Nate's cinema room looking over some tapes from the OCW archives. The footage they are currently looking over is the moment at Road 2 Glory 2006 when Nate turned his back on Revolution Inc. The crash of the Bacardi 151 connecting on Versus's head as Nate begins to speak.
Nate: You see I'm not exactly the Mr. Do Good all the time that everyone seems to remember me as.
Tobin: I see that, but that's not what defined you and your career. It wasn't but a few months later that you were right there with those guys fighting again.
Nate: That's true but, I wanted to show you this moment because it shows exactly where you can end up if you fall to far off course. I was so consumed with protecting my championship and my legacy that I turned my back on the people that had my back. I've seen you the last few weeks picking up some big wins against the likes of Dupree and Mugen. I know you are trying to position yourself for a run at Pugh or whoever the champion may be. I want to show you me at my absolute worst and show that it's nowhere near as bad as when you fell all those months ago.
Tobin perks up at these remarks and sits at the edge of the chair. He looks a little pissed at the notion that he'd fall to the point that Nate did,
Tobin: I'll stop you right there, because I'm never going to be the guy who tries to set his friends on fire. I've walked to and barely stepped over the edge. I don't plan on ever going back. Now I understand where you're coming from but I'm not where you were then. Up to that point you were already in the Hall of Fame, been champion for over four months, I'm not even in the top 5 right now. I've won on Pay-Per View twice in the past year. I'm looking to get to where you were by doing things my way. That's dropping them on their heads in the ring. None off these group attacks I see week in and week out.
Tobin: You have to understand when I go out there I don't just represent myself anymore. I represent your name when I do the Ortiz Xpress. I represent my family and friends in and out of the ring. And I won't do anything to diminish that. I'm only going to do what I need to do to elevate that.
Nate looks on more proud than anything.
Nate: Calm down T-Plex I get it. I'm gonna grab some beers and we'll take a look at the tape of you dropping that fool Dupree on his head.
Tobin nods as Nate exits the room for a few moments leaving Tobin in thought.
Tobin: “Time to make those words a reality Mr. Frost. Winter is coming for OCW and they better get ready for it.”
The scene fades as Nate walks back into the room
Various members of OCW staff flank a seasoned road agent as they march with purpose to the locked locker room of OMG, where the "former" 2x Eternal Ex Division Champion and "current" OCW World Champion was holed up, holding Paul Pugh's belt hostage behind a heavy barricade. The road agent bangs on the door.
Agent: You better get the hell out here Matsuda, we don't have time to play your stupid games today!
Matsuda: NEVER! ITS MINE. I WON IT AND ITS MINE.
Agent: You know thats not true. Be reasonable!
Matsuda: EAT A DICK!

Well... Pugh didn't find him yet. |

Somebody is dying here tonight aren't they Scaggs? |
|
More than likely... |
