????: Which bridge to cross, which bridge to burn?

Nothing appears on the X-tron just blackness. Then you see a click and a spark, the flame of a lighter ignites the room in brief flashes. Tiberius Octavian Dupree sits in his locker room fighting his impulse to burn this place to the ground and rebuild it with nothing but Pure Betterness.

Dupree: Doesn't it really matter if it's Jaysin in charge or if it's Mugen in charge? Neither are savage enough to keep control over this galaxy.

Flick.

Dupree: No matter how you paint the big picture, the colors always remain the same.

Flame.

Dupree: It's always about who wants it more...who's going to take it to that next level. That's how it's always been, that's how it will always be. The colors of blood and fire.

Flick.

Dupree: So play your petty games of cat and mouse people. Wear your face paint, grab your coconuts, open lion orphanages, rip Ambition t-shirts do whatever it is that you think matters.

Flame.

Dupree: Because at the end of the day, only the savage survive.

The flame goes out and we return to totally blackness again, but before we completely fade we hear Dupree whisper "Dim the lights".

The camera pans to the announce team.

	Wait did he just.
	O_O

Pugh stands in the ring surveying the arena for the 1000th time. The fans aren't united on how they treat him, some boo, some cheer, but he's unmoved by the reaction. He takes a deep breath and brushes the dust off the OCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Pugh: They said come out here and sell your match. Sell your match. Sell the new pay per view... SAVAGE LANDS. Named after an era punctuated by a failed coup. Named for an era that died when I killed it the week before Wrestlution.

See, OCW, what stands before you is a gift. I am the great leveler. When someone gets too uppity... I arrive and I take them down.

Most recently - Sean McGee, Tobin Frost... Nate Ortiz. They all reside low down the card now, in their little love triangle - safely away from the biggest prize in professional wrestling today.

He pats the World Title belt

Pugh: Which brings me onto Mugen. A man who never could get it done. See - I've fought him a million times and come out on top 999,995 times... there was nothing left to prove... there IS nothing left to prove against him.

He grins

Pugh: Alas, I'm told that if I don't face him at Sav... If I don't face him at Ego Lands... I'll be stripped of the World Title... Which is fine - I guess. I mean, I don't work by the hour - it'll be cut and shut in minutes and we will have the WORST main event in OCW history.

We know Mugen isn't on my level - we know this because we've seen this. He couldn't take the World Title from me in 2013. He couldn't take the Hardcore Title from me in 2012. He couldn't beat me in December in the World Title Tournament. In fact, the only time he's ever bested me was in 2014 - when my contract was up and I was asked to lay down and turn over the North American Title before I left...

So on Sunday... I guess it happens all over again. The worst majority owner in wrestling history booking the single worst match up in Main Event history just to placate his ego...

Mugen enters the ring and slowly walks in a circle around Pugh who is standing in the dead center. The two never take their eyes off of each other. Mugen pulls a microphone from his jacket pocket and begins to speak while still circling Pugh.

Mugen: Paul, Paul, Paul. You finally decided to speak about me huh? After all these weeks with me talking smack about you, you finally man up and decide to talk. Bravo bravo.

Mugen starts to clap sarcastically for his former friend.

Mugen: Paul, you and I have been on a collision course since the day C4 was created. You and I were supposed to be tag team champions but we know what happened there. You held me back from the World Heavyweight Championship but guess what, I brought the North American Title to where it is now. But.......

Mugen stops circling Pugh and points directly at the OCW World Heavyweight Championship on Pugh's shoulders.

Mugen: ...............not anymore. I don't play second fiddle to anybody anymore and that's because I RUN THE SHOW.

Pugh puts his hand up in Mugen's face.

Pugh: Um... You see this thing on my shoulder? It means I run the show - HELL... I am the show. You're just a man with a terrible dye job making poor decisions.

Mugen starts laughing in Pugh's face and shoves the hand away.

Mugen: You are right about one thing there, I do make some poor decisions in life. Like, I probably shouldn't have eaten that extra slice of pizza last night. Like I shouldn't have tried to book AC Cobra in a match. But I'm about to make my best poor decision to date.

Mugen pokes Pugh in the chest with his index finger.

Mugen: If you do somehow end up winning at Savage Lands in our championship match. I'm just going to.........SUSPEND YOU!

Pugh looks very unamused at the threat that Mugen made towards him.

Mugen: Or hell, I'll send you over to that prison colony show that we call Unleashed and maybe you can get yourself a match with a rookie.

Pugh grabs Mugen by the collar of his suit jacket. Mugen reacts by delivering his signature laugh in Pugh's face.

Mugen: What are you going to do? I dare you to hit me. I'd love it. PLEASE. PLEASE FREAKING HIT ME

Pugh stares at Mugen for another moment before letting him go and shakes his head no.

Pugh: Ha... Yeah I'll see you Sunday.

As Pugh walks right past Mugen, he bumps Mugen in the shoulder. Without hesitation, Mugen turns around and kicks Pugh in the back before he can leave the ring.

The stunned Pugh is trying to get back to his feet but Mugen grabs him by the hair and pulls him back into the center of the ring. Mugen grabs one of the microphones that were dropped in the ring.

Mugen: No no no, we won't save this for Savage Lands. I've been wanting to do this ever since we first met in Japan.

Mugen tightens his grip on Pugh's hair and looks at the crowd. He licks his lips and smiles for the hard camera before he quickly rips out a large chunk of hair from Pugh's scalp. Pugh scrambles out of the ring holding the top of his head with one hand and the OCW World Heavyweight Championship in the other.

Mugen: See you at Savage Lands old friend.

Mugen turns to look at Pugh and slowly blows all the hair in his hand towards his Savage Lands opponent. The scene fades out slowly panning between the champion and challenger.

The camera pans to the announce team.

	It's ON!
