It’s a few hours before showtime and many of the OCW stars and on screen talent are just arriving at the arena. The camera transitions to inside an empty Madison Square Garden.
Or so we thought. In the distance, we see a man running the stairs of MSG. As the camera zooms in, we see that it is one Maxwale Jaykub Freeman.
Insert “Running the stairs” montage with camera cuts that are reminiscent of someone with a name that rhymes with Devin Kunn.
Anyways, we move on to about 45 minutes later, MJF has showered from his workout and is walking around backstage in his street clothes with a towel around his neck.
Just as MJF heads into the catering area, he sees AC Cobra arriving at the arena. MJF makes a B-line over to AC.
MJF: Hey Alexi Chastain Cobra.
AC stops in his tracks with his bags in hand still. AC doesn’t take his eyes off of MJF as he makes his way over.
MJF: How’s it going, buddy?
AC: It was going great before I seen you, the hell do you want clown?
MJF: Now I know that you haven’t been in the greatest of spirits as of late. I mean I wouldn’t be either if I saw that my career in OCW was seemingly coming to an end soon.
MJF: But fear not. Maxwale Jaykub Freeman is here to make sure you get the most out of your last days here. And it starts tonight.
AC: What in the world are you talking about?
MJF: I was able to arrange a match for you tonight against Telos. In the hopes that you will be physically and mentally prepared for our impending matchup at Savage Lands.
MJF: I mean… there is no possible way you are going to beat me. But I want to remove any and all excuses. No ring rust, no depression, no my dog died. I want make sure you are at peak condition so i can snap your ligaments and put you out to pasture.
AC Cobra has a puzzled look on his face. Cobra slides the arm extension on his luggage down and turns back to address MJF.
AC: Your angle here confuses me, you sit behind other men to do your dirty work? I’ll take on Telos or whoever you want. Just know it’s only so long you can hide behind these childish games.
AC: You’re just a level one boss. And your time is coming soon enough.
MJF: You see… this is why you can’t be nice to people. Then they'll try and play you for a fool.
MJF slowly steps towards Cobra. MJF looks AC up and down. He seems to be appalled by Cobra’s comments.
MJF: Let’s back up for a second and speak in facts. FACT.. MJF needs no one to do his “Light Work”
MJF: FACT… If I chose to right now, the Dr. of Leganomics could end your career right where you stand.
MJF: FACT… I’m doin’ you a favor so that after my hand is raised in victory, your quality of life post OCW is somewhat redeemable. But, you do what you want. Just know that my name is Maxwale Jaykub Freeman. And I’m better than you….
MJF: And whether it’s today, the next Riot or at Savage Lands…. You’ll know it too.
Maxwale smirks just before turning and heading back to the catering area. Cobra watches him walk away for a bit before grabbing his luggage and heading to the locker room area.
The camera pans to the announce team.
That guy is so full of himself!
For real!
Stacy Clark sits on her chair in the studio, ready for the interview, when Ashley Moore enters.
She holds her smartphone in front of her face and speaks to her followers: ... and now i have to go to this Clark show. Bye.
Ashley sits down next to Stacy and asks her: Where can i find Stacy Clark?
Stacy Clark (irritated): I am Stacy Clark.
Ashley Moore: Can't know that. Never watched your show. Someone just told me i need to do this.
Stacy Clark: ...
Ashley Moore: So, when do we start. I just want to get over with it.
Production manager: I see you both are ready. Then lets go, in 5,4,3,...
Stacy Clark: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Clark Efect with Stacy Clark. I am Stacy Clark and our guest today is OCW's latest addition to the women's roster: Ashley Moore. Nice to see you here, Ashley.
Ashley Moore: I'm glad to be at this great show.
Stacy Clark: My first question is towards your trainings session last week. Did it help you and are you intend to repeat it?
Ashley Moore: It definitly help. To be the best you have to train hard and i would like to repeat it if i can find a trainer with more staying power.
Stacy Clark: When you are outside OCW what do u like to do?
Ashley Moore: Because i am new in this city and this country i like to watch how everything is going here.
Stacy Clark: Do u miss your homeland?
Ashley Moore: Not really. Everybody speaks here English, too, or atleast tries to. Therefore, the habiutation is rather low.
Only everything is much bigger here. I sometimes miss the narrow alleys of london.
Stacy Clark: How did u settle here at OCW?
Ashley Moore: The production team is very nice and professional. They are doing a great show. But working with most of the other fighters is often painful.
Stacy Clark: Apropos painful: Your first match did not work out as planned. Did you learn anything out of it?
Ashley Moore: My opponent was just lucky in this fight.
Stacy Clark: You always have a big mouth. Wouldn't it be better to perfrom first? You lost your debut match. That should not happen to the best.
Ashley Moore: Do you have any other questions. Otherwise i would go now.
Stacy Clark: Well..., Ladies and Gentlemen, that was it at Clark Effect with Stacy Clark. I'm looking forward to see you again.
Production manager: So that's it. Proper broadcast. We can send that.
Stacy Clark (to herself): Jesus, the end was so bad.
Ashley Moore: What were these questions? Do you want to portray me badly.
Stacy Clark: Just behave yourself more professionel towards critical questions. I had to finish earlier because of your fucking reaction.
Ashley Moore: That's not a bad idea at your show. Nobody wants to see that anyways.
Stacy Clark: This show could be five times as long with a great interesting guest.
Ashley Moore: Or with a competent host.
Stacy Clark and Ashley Moore are now head to head and are about to beat up each other.
When the cameraman calls: Woooo, catfight!
Thereupon both turn to him, forget their discord and let their anger on him.
The scene ends with both taking a selfie together and the cameraman lying in the background of the photo.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Well that was unexpected!
Stacy Clark is a god dam menace!
Jacob Trance & Austin Lee

The Celtic Dragons
The camera pans to the announce team.
That was wierd!
You telling me?
The camera crew heads into the locker room, where Telos can be seen speaking to OCW medics
Telos: It’s been 3 goddamn weeks since I got hurt. I better get some good news not now, but right now.
Medic: Well, I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
In a second, Telos wraps his hand around the medic’s throat. He takes a deep breath, composing himself and lets the medic free.
Telos: ….Speak.
Medic: Jesus…...Listen your ribs are healing at an excellent pace. With the progress you’ve been making you should be able to compete by next week.
Telos: Excuse me?
Medic: That’s the bad news. We aren’t going to be able to clear you for your match against AC Cobra tonight, but next week you’ll be fully cleared.
Telos looks at the medic with a hint of annoyance, which quickly shifts to a look of amusement.
Telos: Appreciate the talk, “Doc”. But I ain’t waiting til next week to do a damn thing. I got some business to take care of tonight.
Telos covers the man’s face with his hand and pushes him backwards into the wall. He shoves the camera away as he exits the locker room.
