YOU CAN FIND TURMOIL AT ITS NEW HOME AT THE BARCLAYS CENTER!
A shower can be heard inside the locker room. The silhouette of this person of interest is blocking the cameras view of Heather’s essence.
Heather: ENOUGH!....IT’S COLD!...I’M FREEZING!
They slide open the shower door and turn the faucet off.
???: Hurry up. There’s some new attire here to match some of your old. Let’s get to it.
Heather steps out of the shower and grabs her towel. As she dries her face and puts the towel over her body she recognizes who the person of interest is.
Heather: YOU! But why?
???: It’s about time you wake up from the darkness and step into the light and take what belongs to you.
Heather: I’m in no shape to fight….I don’t even know how I got here...I’m so confused…
??? Stop asking questions and get in that ring and answer the very thing that’s been calling you for some time.
???: Take this with you.
The person gives her a wig and a bottle of FIJI Water. A text notification goes off and this person pulls their cell phone out of their pocket to read it.
Heather takes a sip of water and her towel drops to the floor.
As she stands back up the person is gone.
Heather: Mida? Donde estas?
Once she realizes they’re gone she looks up at the time. She rushes to put her attire on. The refreshed Heather Angelo takes a long look at the wig given to her and then shakes her head.
She is all set and makes her way to the ring.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Sentai Hare vs Heather Angelo
The camera pans to the announce team.
WHAT!~!!!
Oh my!!
The scene opens on a locker room in the backstage area. The camera pans around the room, centering the frame on a leather couch, where the King of Kindess, Mugen and the First Lady of Friendliness, Molly, sit together posing for a selfie for Molly’s snap story.
As they are about to take another pic, a thudding can be heard from the hallway.
After a few seconds, it become more clear, someone is banging a beat onto the walls and then the door as they approach the room.
Bobby Minio: THE CHAMP IS HERE!
The beat becomes more clear once Minio begins shouting, he’s playing the beat to Jadakiss’ The Champ is Here.
Bobby Minio: THE CHAMP IS HERE!
The camera pans to the doorway, where Minio stands, a massive grin plastered across his face, the Light Heavyweight title slung over one shoulder, a duffle bag over the other.
Bobby Minio: What, no congratulations?
Mugen stands up, closing the distance between Minio and himself.
Mugen: That was wrong old sport, and not confirming that little plot of yours with me before hand, was wrong.
Bobby Minio: Can’t you just be happy for me?
Minio is not giving up any ground, he’s still grinning, having misread his friend as he entered the room.
Mugen’s disappointment in Minio almost has a physical presence in the room, and it begins to weigh down on Minio as his grin finally fades.
Bobby Minio: Alright, I’m sorry.
His apology is met with a blank face and no response from Mugen.
Bobby Minio: Look, he took from me FIRST!.
Bobby Minio: So I took something from him… and it should be seen as an equal measure!
Bobby Minio: Neither you, nor him, have any idea what that bandana is, what that means to me… and if I’m being entirely honest, it’s been in my head.
Bobby Minio: It’s got me shook. So I had to return the favor.
Mugen: Maybe I can understand this position, but that does not change how wrong it was to involve me.
Mugen: I’m the King of Kindness after all, not the King of Crookedness.
Minio’s eyes narrow down as he sizes Mugen up. Something clicks in his brain as he processes Mugen’s position on this.
Bobby Minio: You know I really hope that people bring up tape of this and cite it when they consider that this has all been some kind of mask you had put on…
Bobby Minio: This kindness crap, this is real for you, isn’t it?
Bobby Minio: I mean all this time I thought… yeah, we go along with the kindness stuff, but I thought that killer inside you, the one who got me popped on a drug charge and kicked out of the building at a Riot taping before…
Bobby Minio: I thought that dude was inside.
Bobby Minio: He’s gone, isn’t he?
Mugen stares at Minio stoically, his unwavering coolness being his response.
Bobby Minio: Alright.
Bobby Minio: I really am sorry.
Bobby Minio: Seriously.
Bobby Minio: I should have cleared it with you first.
Bobby Minio: I get it now.
Bobby Minio: As a sign of good faith, I won’t even wear this thing out to my match tonight.
Mugen begins to nod as there is a knock on the door. They turn to see a referee standing in the doorway.
He looks uncomfortable, shuffling around in place doing the pee-pee dance.
Bobby Minio: Buddy if you’re looking for the bathroom you made a wrong turn somewhere…
Ref: I’m here for that!
He points to the belt over Minio’s shoulder.
Ref: The Good Light.
Minio turns and looks at Mugen with a confused look on his face, Mugen looks equally confused and shrugs.
Bobby Minio: The… the strap?
Ref: Yeah, H2O would like to propose a trade, your bandana, for The Good Light.
An incredulous Minio begins looking around the locker room.
Bobby Minio: Is this some kind of joke?
Bobby Minio: Are you tasked to stooge this up for some OCW Network prank show or something?
Ref: I’m one hundred percent serious and I’m about to piss myself, can we please just get this over with!
Bobby Minio: So he wants to get his title back, “The Good Light” and he gives me my bandana back, unscathed?
Ref: From what I can tell, yes.
Mugen: Bobby, just do the trade.
Mugen: Get your item back, give back the title and remove me from this dark mark on that Championships recent history.
Bobby Minio: You really think I should do this?
Mugen: It’s the right thing to do.
Minio drops the title from his shoulder into his hands. He stares at the title for a moment before looking up to Mugen, who nods reassuringly.
Bobby Minio: Ok. Ok fine.
Bobby Minio: We do this, but I’m changing the terms a bit.
Bobby Minio: First of all, we do this tonight, after my match in the main event.
Bobby Minio: I want a fresh victory on my mind before I watch H2O prance off with this… and you…
He points at the referee.
Bobby Minio: You become my representation in this handoff. Muge, lets throw an Abeyance shirt on him.
Minio outstretches a hand towards Mugen, who shakes his head as a response.
Mugen: You’ve forgotten… you suggested that we “Pull a Supreme” and create a false scarcity for our merch.
Mugen: We’ve only had about ten Abeyance shirts printed up and we gave those away weeks ago.
Mugen: May I add, you said “Let’s get those wrestling hypebeasts”.
Mugen: There are no wrestling hypebeasts.......
With a groan, Minio’s head drops down, sitting with his chin resting on his chest for a few seconds.
Finally, Minio shoves past the referee, who squirms and begins to blush as a reaction, a small piddle mark appearing on the front of their pants.
The physical shove having caused him to briefly let go of his hold on his bladder.
No one in the room has cared enough about the referee to notice however.
Minio walks across the hall and begins rooting around through a garbage can, before finally pulling something out. It’s a white Rev Inc t-shirt.
He walks back into the locker room, looking for something he had misplaced, before his face lights up as he walks to a table to grab a sharpee.
He moves to the referee and violently shoves the shirt over the referee’s head, forcing another bit of pee to escape the man’s strained bladder.
He then presses him up against the door frame, writing something on his chest.
After Minio steps back, the image becomes clear. He’s hastily written “The One Man” over the Rev Inc logo, so the shirt now reads “The One Man Rev Inc”.
Bobby Minio: That’ll do, ref.
The referee whimpers in response while Minio nods approvingly, turning to Mugen, who again, merely shrugs.
Bobby Minio: Alright ref-stooge, here’s “The Good Light”.
He offers the title out to the ref, who eagerly grabs at it as he simply wants this to end as quickly as possible, before he continues to piss himself on national television.
Minio does not release the title however, and the referee’s eyes raise up to meet Minio’s.
Bobby Minio: If you try to pull some nonsense here, REF… it’s going to be your ass. Do you understand me?
Ref: Perfectly.
Bobby Minio: DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
Ref: YES! PLEASE!
Minio releases the title, the ref stumbling back a step as Minio raises both palms up.
Bobby Minio: I will see you and H2O tonight then.
Without another acknowledging statement, the referee sprints away down the hall, looking to find a bathroom, or even just a dimly lit corner to relieve himself in at this point.
Minio turns back to Mugen, who begins to head back towards Molly.
Bobby Minio: I can already feel in my bones, I’m going to regret this… what the hell did I let you guilt trip me into…
Mugen turns to Minio once more, offering one last shrug as the segment fades into the next scene, the image of a concerned Minio shaking his head to himself slowly disappearing.
