The scene opens on Nathan Carter walking down the hallway in the back. A familiar leather clad referee by his side, he moves hastily.
They each hold a cardboard box, unopened, sealed with masking tape. A grin from ear to ear, he turns a corner and follows another hallway until reaching the locker room for Ragnarok.
Upon stepping in the room, Nathan is greeted by the site of Xander Rane finishing an interview with a scared, sweaty individual.
Once he notices Nathan and co, he attempts to scurry out of the room with his camera and s’more... Nathan snags the s’more and begins to eat it, then tosses the box to Xander, who catches it with ease. Nathan chews with his mouth open…
Nathan Carter: “Sweet, I love s’mores!”
Xander shakes his head and looks inside the box…
Xander Rane: “Oh, now these are nice!”
Nathan Carter: “See, I told you I would take this seriously.”
The dressing room door opens again, and this time, former Turmoil World Champion Kassidy Hayes enters, also looking proud as can be, following behind him is Tre Golden wearing an official OCWshop.com Septic Tank T-shirt, Golden doesn’t look to excited.
All four men greet each other, while Nathan finishes the s’more. He eyes Xander as he licks the stickiness from his fingers. Xander, not entertained, smacks Nathan in the back of the head, causing Tre to laugh.
Nathan Carter: “Hey Tre, that’s almost as funny as you not graduating tonight!”
This time Kassidy smirks and chuckles, Tre steps toward Nathan, Kassidy and Xander get between them.
Tre Golden: “A big mouth does a lot of talking.”
Nathan Carter: “The better to eat you with, my dear.”
Everyone laughs. Carter keeps going…
Nathan Carter: “No seriously, ‘One of these things is not like the other
Kassidy Hayes: “Enough! Guys, we all have jobs to do tonight. For instance, the three of us need to graduate.” Tre drops his bag and pulls out his Hardcore Championship;
Tre Golden: “You’re right, I need to polish my Belt and get ready for my Title defense next week against YSL.”]
Xander Rane : “Careful now, pup, we are just having some fun.”
Xander tosses the opened box to Kassidy, who looks inside. Nathan proceeds to hand the other box to Tre, who doesn’t smile one bit when looking inside.
Tre Golden: “These are autographed pictures of you guys…
Nathan Carter: “Yup, and they are $5 each! Well, Xander’s and Kassidy’s are $3, but you understand.
Both Hayes and Rane slap Carter this time! Tre drops the box, and starts to focus on his Title again. He looks back up at the group.
Tre Golden: Little do you know I got of official OCWshop.com Respect the Fro T-Shirts in print right at this moment! Golden unrolls the T-Shirt, seemingly out of nowhere in front of the other three, Hayes and Rane begin to protest, before Nathan finally commands the attention of the room!
Nathan Carter: “Gentlemen, calm down! I have to be honest, this is all too familiar.”
Kassidy Hayes: “What do you mean?”
Nathan Carter: “This moment came to me in a dream, many moons ago.” There is silence in the room...
Xander Rane: “What the fu-” A knock at the door interrupts him, all four men turn to see Birdie walk into the room. Nathan does a double take!
Birdie: “We got word you harassed a cameraman, Mr.Sensation has requested that you refrain from this behaviour for at least tonight’s episode of Riot. Especially since this is your last show as Rookies…” ...she gives them a once over… “...Well, some of you.”
Nathan Carter: “Boy, let’s get dressed!”
The camera cuts to Nathan, Xander and Kassidy standing at Sensation’s desk. Our Hero is face palming while the three Wolves grin from ear to ear. Sensation speaks slowly to help them understand…
Sensation: “For the last time, there is no Ceremony!!!!!!”
Sensation: I need a drink......
Mr.Sensation is seen shoving past The Wolves as he hobbles to the door he calls for Birdie to hand him his walking machine!
The camera pans to the announce team.
Poor Bossman!
Why don't they get ballons at least?
The scene takes place right near McDonalds in New York City. where a black Mercedes-Maybach S600 pulls into the drive through. The cars pulls up to the voice com.
Food Attendant: "Can I take your order please?"
The car windows goes down as Sid Harrison pops his head out the window.
Sid Harrison: "YEAH, CAN I HAVE A DOUBLE CHESSE BURGER, A CHICKEN LENGEND MEAL, CHICKEN NUGGETS, CHOCOLATE MILSHAKE, SOME DONUTS! LARGE SODA!"
Austin Lee who is sat in the passenger seat looks at Sid with a disgust look on his face.
#Austin Lee: #There is just no way you are going to eat all that, #Wait how is going to McDonalds training?"
Food Attendant: "Anything else?"
Sid Harrison turns to Austin.
Sid Harrison: "YOU WANT ANYTHING!?"
#Austin Lee: "#I am getting better at this translating thing when you yell.. #NO #NINE #Quotation "German for NO #Not eating that and developing a dad bod like the guy who claims to look like me yet is a #Vanilla Midget" Sid Harrison turns back to the voice com.

Sid Harrison: "HEY, THE NICE ATTENDANT IS ASKING YOU FOR SOME MONEY!"
Sid goes into Austin Lees passenger cupboard and pulls out his wallet with his card inside Sid Harrison puts the card into the read and it asks for a pin.

Sid Harrison:WHY IS THIS HAVE #'s? "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"
The pin is accepted, Sid takes the card out and drives to the next window.
#Austin Lee: #SIGH
Sid Harrison collects all the food from the next window and passes it all for Austin Lee to hold. Sid puts the drinks in the drink holder and drives to an empty parking space.
Sid then takes the food from Austin Lee, he gets out the wrap that has cheese and salad on and gives it to Austin, he also passes him the large giant diet soda.
Sid Harrison: "YOU'RE WELCOME!"
Austin Lee: #No problem......#WAIT #WHAT? "
Sid Harrison: "Stop shouting will ya, I am trying to eat."

Seb paced the halls, furious with Daryl Bradleys decision.
Seb thought: Where am I going to get a partner? Everyone I've faced so far I've wronged.
He looked up and saw Loki McGregor talking to Stacy Clark.
Loki: Yea an' den oi jist drove 'is gammy car roi into another wan, only oi tink it might 'av been B-17's...
Seb walked in and looked at Stacy before looking at Loki.
Seb: Loki what are you doing here? It doesn't matter, anyway I need a partner for an upcoming match at Turmoil 115. Would you be able to take some time to stop chatting to Sinead O'Connor here and partake in tag team action? Waiting for Loki to answer, Seb glanced at Stacy who took the Sinead O'Connor remark rather poorly. Seb smiled while Loki looked sideways at him and stepped in front of Stacy making her invisible to the pom.
Loki: Yer deck. waaat yer tink 'tis nice ter tak shorts at gran' a gran' weeman. yer can bugger aff , mucker.
Seb: Fine, I get it I'll leave so you can enjoy Sinead's "fine" company. Seb walked away and heard the pair start laughing. Digging into his pocket he pulled out his phone and saw a text from Bradley. It read: Mr Abbott, Don't bother looking for a tag partner. This match was always going to be a handicap match, think of it as a punishment for your transgressions the past few weeks. Toodles.
Seeing red Seb smashed his phone against the wall.
Seb: Damned arsehole of a man. I should've known he'd pull this sh*t.
An intern entered the scene, cleared his throat and tapped Seb on the shoulder. Seb turned and put his face so close to the kid's, he was certain the intern would piss his pants.
Seb screamed: What!?
Intern: A-a-a-are y-y-you going t-t-to leave that t-t-there?
The intern pointed at the phone debris strewn across the floor.
Seb: Bog off you Gobshitey little toerag. I'm sure when Sid Harrison gets a moment away from that hashtag #fool Austin Lee, he'll clean it up.
The intern scurried awaythe opposite direction to Seb, who in turn stomped towards the exit.
The camera pans to the announce team.

Oh my!
Is that even legal!
At the other end of the restaurant, at the bar area known as The Arm Bar, a stressed out and solemn Mr. Sensation walks through the front door slowly with his orthopedic walker with tennis ball sliders.
The usual swagger is replaced with a slow crawl directly to the bar where he takes a seat. A bartender comes over to Our Hero to take his order.
Bartender: What can I get ya sir?
Our Hero: Best whiskey you got. What is it?
Bartender: That would be the Glenmorangie Signet.
Our Hero: Give me that with a splash of water.
The bartender nods as he makes his way over to the top shelf liquor bottles. As he pours out a glass for Our Hero, a waitress whispers something into the ears of the bartender and walks away.
As the bartender turns back towards Our Hero’s seat, he places down the glass branded with The Arm Bar logo. Our Hero takes out the company credit card adorning the large now faded OCW logo, possibly from all the usage.
Our Hero: What’s the damage?
Bartender: I was just informed that this is on the house. Compliments of the owner.
Surprised, Our Hero nods and puts away the credit card. A smile is slowly forming on his face as he takes a sip.
This is one of the few good things that has happened to him in a while.
Our Hero: May I ask who the owner of this wonderful establishment is? Can he come out to meet me?
Familiar Voice: It’s me, it was me all along you dummy.
Bewildered, Our Hero swings himself around in his chair to see his retired nemesis, The Lord of the Lariat, Mugen standing there in a white suit with a black tie holding a menu.
Our Hero: I mean why wouldn’t you own this right….?
Mugen: Uh, yea. Diversified my portfolio dummy. Didn’t I teach you enough during my time in OCW. Also, how did you not see that?
Mugen points at a wall in the front of the bar with numerous framed photos and a banner that says “Hall of Fame”.
Numerous photos of Mugen posing with celebrities and members of the OCW roster fill the wall. Mugen throws a menu at Our Hero.
Mugen: Get something to eat, it’s on me.
Our Hero takes a quick look at the menu before he looks back up.
Our Hero: Get me the CM Burger.
Mugen: Ah sorry, we don’t have that.
Our Hero: The Lariat Burger?
Mugen: Nope, we out. Ran out of the bacon.
Our Hero: The Tank Burger?
Mugen: Ah, that should be off the menu. It was a bit too spicy for most of the patrons and nobody was a fan of it.
Our Hero: The Ragnarok Platter?
Mugen: Ha, you would. Customers have raved about the flavor on this platter but they often complain that it fizzles out fast. And once again, no we don't have.
Our Hero: Then what the hell do you have?
Mugen: May I suggest the Aries Combo #5?
Our Hero: Sure. Get me that.
Mugen: Oh sorry, we just ran out of it.
Our Hero: Of course you did…..
Mugen: May I suggest, a healthy serving of DEEZ NUTS.
Mugen starts cackling at the joke. Frustrated, Our Hero promptly finishes his drink and walks out of the bar fuming.
Mugen: Hey! We forgot to take a picture together! You know, for old times sake!
Mr.Sensation stops in the doorway he thinks for a moment and does an about face towards Mugen who is still smiling ear to ear.
Mr.Sensation looks Mugen dead in his face as he goes into his pocket and pulls out a money clip and by clip we mean a huge band of money in a big ass rubberband, He starts counting to himself.
Mr.Sensation: 1-2-3….is that enough? No? 4-5-6? how bout now? 7-8-9-10.
He just starts thumbing through his clip, as he pulls out a 100 dollar bill and puts it in his pocket. He tosses the clip to Mugen.
Mr.Sensation: There is your final paycheck 9,900. I owed you 8K consider the rest a token of good will and by good will go F*** yourself. I wish you well in your future endeavors.
Mr.Sensation calls for another whiskey. As he downs it post haste and spikes the glass directly on the floor shattering it into 1000 pieces. Mugen is agast with disgust!
Mugen: How dare you!
Mr.Sensation: Put it on your tab.
Mr.Sensation walks out of The Arm Bar, as he hails a Taxi back to Riot 424. Mugen orders one of the staff to come and clean the mess up. As he is walking back counting the bills in the money clip he realizes that Sensation actually left the company credit card within the clip.
Mugen: Hmmm, maybe I'll put it on YOUR tab dummy.
Mugen disappears to the kitchen laughing as the scene fades.
