The scene opens up with Stacy Clark and an OCW producer sitting in this week’s Clark Effect stage area. It looks like they are going over notes.
You can see the two of them conversing but you can’t hear what they are saying. Just then, off in the distance, you hear a door fly open and slam up against the wall.
MJF: Fear not dregs of OCW. You are about to witness the greatest Clark Effect in the history of this silly little podcast.
Stacy lifts her head up out of her hands as Maxwale Jaykub Freeman makes his way over to them.
Stacy: News flash Max-Wall-E, the Clark Effect isn’t a podcast.
MJF: Oh it’s not? We must be airing this on the OCW Twitch channel or on the Official OCW YouTube Right? And forgive me for not correcting you. It’s Max-Well. The ‘e’ is silent.
MJF: Those eyes, those legs…. Threw me for a loop. Have you been doing some squats?
Stacy: No YouTube, No Twitch, I do CrossFit and I’m also an expert at calling HR if you get outta line. Are we clear?
MJF: Whoa Stacy. Don’t Cosby a brother. But if this isn’t on any of the OCW platforms. Mind you, if it was, it would be the highest rated show of all times. When is this going to air?
Producer: We got about 5 mins on Riot 504.
MJF: Oh, I see. Hmm. Well let’s make this the greatest 5 mins segment of all time.
Stacy: Wow. I expected some sort of snide comment. I’m shocked.
MJF: Two of my best qualities are shock and awe. Let’s get this show on the road.
Stacy and MJF take their seats across from each other with a small end table between them. The producer calls the lighting cues and gives Stacy the ready countdown.
Stacy: Welcome ladies and gentleman, I am Stacy Clark. And on this edition of The Clark Effect, we have Maxwale J. Freeman joining us. Thank you for joining me today.
MJF: Good to be here Stacy.
Stacy: With your rough start here in OCW, losses to Charles Young and in a tag match with H2O, you taking the fall against TTT. Has your transition to OCW proved to be tougher than you expected?
MJF: I’d like to answer that question in 3 parts.
MJF: Next… Question… Please.
Stacy: Um Ok. Moving on. How do you plan on rebounding going forward?
MJF: Yea, I’m just not feeling that one either. But, since I am the type of guy that I am, I took it upon myself to jot down some talking points for you. Hold on.
MJF reaches in his inside sport coat pocket and takes out a folded piece of paper. MJF slides it slowly across the end table that’s in between them. Stacy picks it up, unfolds it in front of her.
Stacy: There’s nothing on here.
MJF: Oh it’s on the other side.
She flips it over, but that side is blank as well.
MJF: That’s actually blank too. And do you know why that is Stacy Clark?
MJF: Because someone like Maxwale Jaykub Freeman doesn’t need the Clark Effect garner interest. It doesn’t matter whether I am the man getting his hand raised or not.
MJF: I am the best light heavyweight in that ring, on the mic… Hell, there isn’t anything in OCW that I can’t do. Color commentary, Play by play, General Manager. You name it, Maxwale Jaykub Freeman is the elite of the elite.
MJF: You can look at wins and losses all you want. But the fact of the matter is this. No one in this division stands a chance against Maxwale Jaykub Freeman. Because I intend to stretch and tear every ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL that chooses to step in that squared circle.
MJF: Because my name is Maxwale Jaykub Freeman. And not only am I better than you. But my knee ligaments are better than yours…. And you know it.
MJF smirks into the camera as it zooms in on his face. Then we fade back to ringside.
The camera pans to the announce team.
What a blow hard!
You hate cuz you AIN'T!
Between matches, OCW rookie Colby Young's music hits as he makes his way down to the ring. With a mic in hand and a cocky attitude he begins to speak to the rowdy crowd.
Colby Young: As you can all see here, i'm not in gear and I'm not competing tonight. As a matter a fact, i won't be in this ring throwing people around again till after Wrestlution.
He looks around at the fans as he garners a rather mixed reaction from them.
Colby Young: With the skill I posses, I should already be headlining the show but alas I'm not headlining nor am I anywhere on it...yet. But thats alright, because after the dust settles and field is opened up It'll be my time to take over.
Mr.Young cracks a smile.
Colby Young: I've got sweet sweet momentum baby, and my snowball is gonna keep on rolling and it won't stop for anybody, I'll see you all again very soon.
The music hits once again as Colby Young exits the ring.
The camera pans to the announce team.
SNOWBALL!!!
Oh settle down!
Mugen vs Cort Marshall
The camera pans to the announce team.
What a match!
You said it!
As Capo is leaving the night club, a phone call comes in. Capo seems very interested in taking this call. A brief moment goes by and Capo tells the caller that he is on his way.
Some time has passed and Capo is now in a long hallway corridor backstage at Riot 505. Capo pauses for a moment as he takes in the rich history or OCW Champions hanging from the walls.
He comes to a door that looks like a Janitors closet. Had it not been for the etched “TTT ONLY” in the door, he would never had known he had reached his destination.
Capo opens the door, and is immediately taken away at the TTT locker room. The locker room sits in a renovated corner office suite.
There appears to have been some heavy renovation as the space is completely furnished with upscale and modern furniture. There is a fitness area, a full kitchen and bar, a lounge area, 2 very large offices, a shower area, sauna, and pool. The balcony area is quaint, but has a full view of NYC.
As Capo starts to realize that Speakeasy‘ studio area is only a fraction of the size of the TTT locker room, out pops Kassidy Hayes from the sauna area.
As he greets Capo, tons of sweat beads are flying onto Capo’s suit and shoes. Capo is forced to recognize he is in the company of greatness.
The two sit down and Capo begins to speak to Kassidy.
Capo: Vegas has the odds 5-1 in your favor this week. What the people don’t know is that fighting H20 and then KD is like taking the wrong turn in the wrong neighborhood for anyone new. With that said, you are The World Champ. What can we expect to see from you tonight?
Kassidy: Well Capo, I’m glad to have you here tonight for you bring such intelligence into this job, my guy, you are my guy. You are not a Thirsty Thot like Stacy Clark and going to attempt to sneak jabbing questions at my fasha or myself.
Kassidy: I also have to say, I admire your hustle; you are not only a in ring talent that will one day blossom into something great, only fractional of myself but still great. You also have this great career as a interview, two jobs my guy, MY GUY!
Kassidy: what was your first question again?
Capo: Salud! I appreciate the kind words, but I’m just here to be as great as you are. So are we going to see you keep this title this week? The fans need to know….
Kassidy: Of course, well I am the OCW World Heavyweight Champion and the best goddamn Light Heavyweight on the Riot roster so while this may look like a challenging couple of days for normans, but for myself, it will be a breeze.
Capo: H20 seems eager to get into the ring tonight. He has a lot to prove.
Kassidy: H20 has never and will never beat me, he isn’t capable of such a feat, he can only dream about it while being a cuck boy with his other cuck boy buddies. I mean, Anthony Baker hasn’t really been around and Dismore was embarrassed by Mr. Sensation so badly that he may just have done what K.D. should have done: Retire QUIETLY!
Capo: OOF! Straight from the source…
Kassidy: Which circles round to my championship defense come Wrestlution and I say defense because there is no way that shell of a man walking around here is actually going to beat me.
Kassidy: K.D. may be “undefeated” against me and people may say he is too damn big but I am going to chop him down kick by kick till he is begging for retirement.
Capo: You have accomplished so much this season, but you seem to be hungry for more. What is the next step? Is there a formidable opponent or goal that you are looking for?
Kassidy: Well I’m not the same person I was to start this year off, I have ascended to a new immortal coil with a being born from betterness but is Ameliorable. The only true challenge I see ahead is the possessor of the summer stone; I want Nate Ortiz at Summercide.
Kassidy: The OCW championship, the Summer Stone, GOAT Killer, and my Ameliorableness; the power that I would have would be undeniable, I could reshape OCW as I see fit with so much power.
Capo: But No one man should have all that power??!?!
Both men look at the camera!
Capo: Ahem that’s a very tall order from you sir, but we know you can handle it all. With that said, what advice do you have for young rookies like myself? Few will be participating, many will be watching—-What do you have to say to the onlookers.
Kassidy: Don’t aim to be anything like me, you’ll only fall short and disappoint yourselves, instead aim not to be like Jookie Marley and then you will at least not be a complete failure.
Capo whispers to the production crew—-this is great journalism are we getting all of this?
Capo: So wait….You seem very confident here….Are you the Poster Child for OCW?
Kassidy: In all honesty, I should be Capo and I even had the TTT marketing team make a poster for Wrestlution but Mr. Sensation thought it wasn’t the image he wanted to set forth. Here, I’ll even show you it,
Capo: That's pretty amazing......
Capo:
Ok....Ok, so for the newbies, what does TTT stand for?
Kassidy: Well, TTT has evolved from a simple brand my fasha made, Trill Trash Trademark to now a full blown lifestyle choice; Trash buries all.
Capo: Well we sure as hell hope you and TTT keep burying all of OCW.
Capo: Kassidy Hayes, it’s been a pleasure and bring the drama this evening And weekend.
Kassidy: I will, MY GUY!
Kassidy stands out of his seat and goes to the fitness area to change.
