The scene opens up with a view of the audience bleachers in the P3 Soundstage. We suddenly see audience members teleport one by one into their seats holding super soakers. Suddenly our favorite hosts Drago and Mugen teleport into the middle aisle of the bleachers holding microphone shaped water guns.
Mugen: PREPARE
Drago: FOR
Both: WATER WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
A battle ensues between P3 and all the audience members with their water guns. Out of nowhere a rush of water pours in from the ceiling and sweeps Drago and Mugen towards the stage where their usual desk and sofa are located.
Both: We are……….
Mugen: The
Drago: Platinum
Mugen: Platonic
Drago: Partners
Both: P!!!! 3!!!!!!
Mugen: Tonight we have a very special international guest!
The soaked crowd respond with a collective “ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”. Bubba responds with a roar.
“Fred Durst”: INTERNATIONAL S***
Drago: We bring from far Mexico. Lucha wrestler, El He Joe da Mistico.
A mariachi band comes out from behind the sofa and start to play some traditional music as El Hijo De Mistico comes from behind the curtains at the other end of the stage. He sheepishly waves to the crowd as “Fred Durst” runs up to him for a high five.
Mistico takes a seat on the couch next to Bubba as Drago hovers over the pair.
Mugen: So El Hijo De Mistico. That means son of Mistico amirite?
Mistico nods and as he is about to answer Drago cuts him off.
Drago: In the motherland they say you (Son) of Mistico.
“Fred Durst”: OVER HERE THEY CALL YOU THE SON OF MISTICO TOO.
Mugen nods and claps and the audience claps in unison as well.
Mugen: So I actually met you many moons ago in Mexico. When you was just a wee little lad because your father, your padre, your daddy, your dada, your big poppa
Drago: Throw your hands in the air if you’s a true playa.
Mugen and Drago start throwing their hands in the air like they just don’t care because they are true playas. For real.
Mugen: Like I was saying, your father and I actually wrestled a couple loops together in Guadalajara.
The camera pans over to a laughing Drago.
Drago: You wrestle in Mexico? How long ago was this?
The camera pans back over to Mugen, who is now wearing a yellow and white luchador mask.
Mugen: Old sport, of course I have! Mistico’s father and I go waaaaaayyyyyy back. He taught me how they do safety in Mexico.
The camera transitions back over to Drago, who has also now been adorned with a yellow and white luchador mask.
Drago: I see….
Mugen: Drago, didn’t you have a brief luchador stint?
Drago: Yeah, back when my “””””””father”””””””” give me new gear every week. One day I’m supposed to come out like luchador, but I’m look more like chicken. Lost my match that night because I’m couldn’t see over stupid mask!
Mistico: The mask is so important. It builds character, and it’s all about how that ultimately represents your culture and the person you are on the inside.
The camera zooms in on “Fred Durst”, his jaws agape. He points to his head.
“Fred Durst”: That’s deep.
Mugen nods deeply as he prepares his next question.
Mugen: Mistico, you clearly enjoy wearing the mask as much as I do.
Mugen points to the mask on his head.
Mugen: Where do you see yourself in 5 ehhh no wait. Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
Mistico: I see myself doing exactly what I already do, making my culture mainstream. I’m not here for only myself, I’m here to show what my people can do. I envision of a world.
The mariachi band start playing some dramatic music as the camera zooms into Mistico’s face.
Mistico: A world, where all of the luchadors and luchadoras in the world rise up together and conquer that which is not lucha.
“Fred Durst”: That’s deep.
Suddenly, a man with a receding hairline and a rotund figure appears and manages to take a microphone, speaking rapidly.
Man: Investigate T-11! T-11 was perpetrated within our own government by the governor of North and South Carolina, Ryu Matsumoto!
The man is dragged away by security as Drago is seen putting an ice pack on his crotch, wincing in pain. Mistico’s phone vibrates.
Mistico: Excuse me.
He looks at his phone in shock.
Mistico: DIOS MIO!
Thump thump.
The luchador’s heart beats loudly as he carefully gets out of his seat and walks toward the back of the set.
Mistico: Maria?
Thump thump.
Mistico: Maria?
He opens the curtains and walks the backstage hallways.
Thump thump.
He walks toward one of the doors and swings it open. What he finds is not what he expected.
Mistico: MARIA?????
The camera closes in to reveal a luchadora in bed. A luchador about three times the size of Mistico pops up right next to her, his face growing red. The angry Mistico takes out a steel chair and is about to strike.
Dillinger paces around the ring after gathering a mic from ringside. He scratches the underside of his chin and peers around the OCW crowd. Dillinger eventually gathers himself and pulls the mic to his face.
Dillinger: Back 2 Life, eh?
The OCW crowd releases a sudden release of boos after Dillinger mocks Tayy Breizee’s theme music.
Dillinger: It’s more like… Back 2 Back!...
Dillinger continues pacing around the ring and smiles before delivering his final scathing line.
Dillinger: ...Losses!
Almost on cue, the OCW universe drop a heavy bass of jeers onto Dillinger and he laughs at them, rearing his head back in usual fashion.
Dillinger: Let’s get something straight. Tayy Breizee is bad for business.
Dillinger: I’m sure some of you mega-woke fans are thinking…
Dillinger throws his head back sarcastically, mocking the OCW fans who think they’re informed and active, using a weird surfer voice.
Dillinger: “Woah, dude! He’s totally ruining his own business plan! He owns Tayy’s stuuuuuff duuuuuude!”
Dillinger: No. In order to ruin business, there has to BE business. I am a multi-million dollar businessman in this city. I’m one of the most successful people that’s ever stepped foot in this arena.
Dillinger: I’m a man of many talents and a man of many investments.
Dillinger lowers the mic and begins nodding to the crowd.
Dillinger: ...but like all incredibly successful people like myself, sometimes your business partners drop the ball. They can’t all be winners, right?
Dillinger points up at the X-Tron as it illuminates into Tayy Breizee back in an early match against AC Cobra. It’s a slowed down video clip of Cobra and Breizee in a collar elbow tie up.
Dillinger: That “performance” took place more than 6 months ago.
Dillinger: … and look where he is now? What progress!
Dillinger: I should have never invested in that loser. He was a loser then and he’s a loser now. This crap… Oh! This CRAP!
Tayy’s former agent rips the CD case from his pocket and smashes it in the center of the ring.
Dillinger: Pretend time is over, millennials. I’m done pretending this criminal is anything more than a hack loser. I don’t even care to promote this garbage anymore.
Dillinger slides his foot over and kicks the broken CD case to the side.
Dillinger: I’m standing out in front of you poor losers in a $10,000 luxury suit. This isn’t your prom dress, sonny.
Dillinger: I have a 14 karat gold tooth. I could retire right now and live twelve lifetimes without being concerned for a SECOND.
Dillinger, seeming frustrated, walks over to the smashed CD and shakes his head.
Dillinger: You know what the really sad part is? There are thousands of you on Hootify right NOW listening to his music… that I OWN. I don’t even have to promote him and you morons will keep putting money in my pocket! Tayy Breizee is nothing. He's an unpromotable garbage person. I learned that very quickly.
The crowd continues to boo Dillinger in the ring, quickly getting tired of his trash talk.
Dillinger: You all know it too, don’t you? I was supposed to come out here and peddle this crap, but I’ve had ENOUGH. You all have had ENOUGH. Telos has had ENOUGH.
Dillinger: OCW… Has had enough.
Dillinger: So I think it’s about time to put this to bed. Taylor, get your ass out here!
Tayy Breizee and Dennis Dillinger stand face to face inside the ring, each with a mic in their hands. Dillinger raises his microphone before Tayy slaps the mic out of his hands with authority. It bounces off the mat into the corner, the static screeching through the TV.
Tayy: I think these people have heard… ENOUGH.
The OCW Universe pops at the RnB artist flipping Dillinger’s own words around on him. The standoff ends as Tayy walks to the opposite side of the ring, continuing.
Tayy: Now then.
Tayy: 12 weeks ago, I walked into this arena ready to give everything I had to impress all of you.
Tayy takes a few steps around the ring looking around to the crowd… Some dedicated ‘Tayyficionados’ cheering their hearts out… while others look on unimpressed.
Tayy: Do you know why I did that, Dennis?
Dillinger stutters as he goes to collect his microphone from the mat, not expecting to hear these words from Tayy Breizee.
Tayy: It’s because I have something stronger than anything you or your broke ass’ goon will ever have.
Tayy: I have heart.
Tayy: Ya' know, I have big plans in OCW. I have big plans in my career.
Dillinger finally collects his microphone and stomps back to the corner opposite Tayy Breizee.
Tayy: ... but right now? I’m here for 1 thing. I’m here to remove you from OCW.
Dilinger finally pulls the microphone to his face and retorts.
Dillinger: Remove me? That’s rich. Not as rich as me of course.
Dillinger: It’s funny, you know. It’s funny that you have all this confidence and outspoken charisma now. Where was this 6 months ago, huh? Where was this when your matches were being SKIPPED OVER every time you showed up inside this ring?
Dillinger fluffs his suit and uses his offhand to grab his left lapel.
Dillinger: You’ve overstayed your welcome. Do you hear these people?
Tayy looks around the arena and then down at the mat.
Dillinger: … Yeah, neither do I.
Dillinger walks up close to Tayy Breizee, right into his face.
Dillinger: They might be booing me, Taylor… but they don’t even REACT to you.
The words tear through the PA system, certainly hitting Tayy Breizee hard. He peers his head up once again at the crowd, most of which stand at a forced, obligatory cheer.
Tayy: Dennis… You might be successful. You might be the king in your own eyes. You might be super rich… but you know what you’ll never be?
Tayy returns the favor, getting back in Dennis Dillinger’s face.
Tayy: You’ll NEVER be respected. Not in this ring. Not in this industry… Nowhere.
Tayy: ...You done held me back enough. You wanna use the law to protect you? Let’s play it your way.
Dillinger takes a step back, intrigued at Tayy’s proposition.
Tayy: 12 weeks ago, Telos slammed me though a table on your orders. He fractured my elbow….
Tayy holds up his right arm, which was heavily padded in his last 2 matches.
Tayy: ...He broke my clavicle…
Tayy: Ole’ dude put me in a place darker than you could ever imagine… On YOUR orders. Telos is a talented competitor with a lot to offer… He just needs to get his head right. That will NEVER happen with you in the way.
The capitalist goon throws his hands up and forces the mic to his face.
Dillinger: Blah, blah, blah! We get it, you’re a superhero! What’s your point, thugnificent?
Tayy: The Clash…
The crowd pops at the mention of OCW’s upcoming PPV.
Tayy: At The Clash? It’s gon’ be me and you. One fight to end this for good.
Dillinger scoffs, but before he can respond, Tayy cuts him off.
Tayy: Nah, shut your ass up.
Tayy: I already know you’re too much of a coward to fight your own battles… and I got beef to settle anyways.
Tayy: So at The Clash? I’m gonna return the favor to Telos. You think these people don’t respond to me, and you might be right… So we’re gonna do this one for OCW, bruh.
Tayy: That’s right. Tayy Breizee… vs Telos… in a table match at The Clash!
Dillinger shakes his head uncertain, before looking back to Tayy.
Dillinger: Heh, that’s fine by me, little man. He’s going to crush you.
Tayy: ... Loser LEAVES OCW.
Dillinger takes a step back, looking concerned for his client.
Dillinger: THAT is NOT going to happen, punk. Telos is-
Tayy: I ain’t talking about Telos, son. You wanted to play the legal game. I already got he documents signed. All we need is your go-ahead.
The crowd pops realizing Tayy is referring to Dillinger's career.
Tayy: YOU, Dennis.
Dillinger: Oh yeah??? You’re willing to put your short career on the line in an unwinnable contest?
The tension builds in the RIOT arena as both men stare at each other intensely.
Dillinger: So Telos vs Tayy for one of our careers huh? Hahah! You think I need this crap?! I make more money outside of OCW in a day than you have in your LIFE, punk. This is a win-win! You’re ON.
Tayy reaches his hand out to shake on it and smirks to his rival.
Dillinger grabs Tayy’s hand, much to the delight of the crowd. After several seconds of cheering, Dillinger takes the opportunity to pull Tayy in by his arm and deliver a right hand to the jaw of Breizee.
Tayy stammers back, more annoyed than damaged at the punch from Dillinger.
Dillinger: Touch me, you dirty brown son of a bitch! Let me take you for the rest of the food stamps you have left to your name!
Tayy stands solid, resisting the urge to strike Dillinger and violate the protection order.
Dillinger shakes his head and spits in Tayy’s face. The crowd boos as Tayy wipes his face, showing the world’s greatest restrain, allowing Dillinger to exit the ring and leave up the ramp.
Scaggs: I don’t believe it. Tayy and Telos are going to go head to head at The Clash…
Poling: Focus, Scaggs! It's Tayy vs Dillinger! One of those two men is going to be leaving OCW for good! Wow!
VALKYRIE vs KARISSA DAWSON
the scene opens as Tre Golden is walking in the backstage area after his hard fought match against Telos, he stops and grabs a towel from a table wrapping it around his neck and is handed a bottle of water with no label by a stage hand. Jim Black approaches him microphone in hand.
Jim Black: After nearly two years you returned to the OCW ring, can you tell me your mindset at the moment?
Golden takes a second to swig his water and wipes his face with his towel, caught a little off guard, he quickly swallows.
Tre Golden: Jimmer! Long time no see, how are the wife and kids?
Jim Black: Fantastic, thank you for asking.
Tre Golden: You’re welcome and I’m glad to hear, to answer your question….. I feel relieved, disappointed, and ecstatic.
Tre Golden:[/b] I’m relieved that I didn’t go out there and get destroyed… it’s been a long time since I completed and I was not sure on how the match was going go, Telos is a big guy
Tre laughs
Tre Golden: I’m disappointed because that wasn’t the Tre Golden I know, I didn’t show the full scope of my skills and quite frankly I feel like I gassed out and got into a slamming contest and didn’t finish the match as strong as I started.
Golden sighs
Tre Golden: Whether it’s ring rust or the lack of my Fro I need to get it together if I plan to win it back. I know Telos is making moves for the Pride Title….. which I plan to hoist over my head, so I know that I’ll be seeing him again and there will be a different result.
Tre Golden: This is just the beginning, stay tuned and stay golden.
Golden gives the camera a smile and walks of screen sipping his water bottle.
We now turn our attention backstage where KD and H2O return from the ring. You hear KD and Harvey talk to each other quietly about something but it’s hard to make of it.
KD gives his Inception partner a fist bump and walks away.
H2O: Trust me, brother. You won’t regret it.
H2O gives him a friendly nod and walks in the opposite direction from KD towards his locker room to get ready for his big time matchup tonight with two champions.
As he walks down through the corridors he hears a familiar voice that he hasn’t heard in a long time. He peaks around the corner slowly and it’s The Pride Champion, Shepherd in the middle of a promo.
Shep: These fools don’t know what they’re getting in to. Bobby doesn’t know it but he made the biggest mistake of his life talking to me like that last week. But I’ll do my talking where I do it best, in the ring, or maybe with a chair. I’m so deep in Cort’s head right now he’s one or two more screws from being permanently admitted to Arkham.
Shep:But those are secondary tonight, as the booker from above has finally put me against some opponents worthy of my time. Three champions...
Shep stops mid sentence as OCW Champion H2O comes into view.
Shep: Speaking of one of those devils. It’s the guy who barely escaped me last year. As much as I could talk about all of his championship opportunities he did take his last one and make something of it. Hey, Harvey! The bull’s eye is on you now!
H2O: Shepherd it’s wonderful to finally see you again! You must not have heard me out there tonight when I said I’m not satisfied for having a opportunity. I’m only satisfied about winning.
H2O: It seems like everyone around here is counting how many opportunities I’ve had around here but not counting the amount of hard work I have been putting in to become a winner.
H2O: I respect you Shepherd but please don’t call me a devil. Devil’s never win. Just ask Alexander how being a devil worked out against The Good Light.
H2O: It’s been a long while since I’ve seen you. It was the opportunity of being apart of The Lightheavyweight Tournament where I last seen you and won!
H2O: Considering your track record Shepherd, are you sure you want to say you gave me the win after the higher ups gave you the same opportunity they gave me?
H2O: Think about it. All the hard work that you accomplished. Hmm?
The camera screen widens and H2O doesn’t know that The OCW Lightheavyweight Champion is standing right behind him.
Shepherd looks over Harvey shoulder and raises both his eyebrows. Harvey still is waiting for Shepherd to answer when they are interrupted by a loud sneeze.
???: AAACHHOOO!!!!
The camera pans over to reveal the Light Heavyweight Champion Drago Cesar, entering the scene. He looks over at H2O, then at Shepherd.
Drago: Sorry, I’m think I’m allergic to sheep wool.
Shepherd rolls his eyes. H2O turns around and gives Drago a disgusting look. He takes The OCW World Heavyweight Title off his shoulder and wipes it off with his arm.
Drago: Look at all these young lions come onto the scene! Shepherd? Uh…...I’m don’t remember you. But H2O? I remember you when you were youngest of the lions, and you were so excite! You know what I also remember?
Drago: Ligermask carrying you on his back, protecting you!
Drago sighs and reminisces about the good old days.
Drago: But hey, now you World Heavyweight Champion! You beat Kass and Pugh to become world champ, and for that, you have my respect!
The “Best in the World” turns his attention toward Shepherd and scratches his head. He then starts thinking.
Drago:And…...who are you again? I dunno if is because I’m older now, but your name ring no bell. You Shepherd right? Where your sheep?
Shep: Well, I think I’m looking at two of them right now, and there are a few thousand cheering you right now out there in the arena. After you eat one of these knees to your face tonight you’ll never forget me Champ.
Shepherd stares down Drago. H2O laughs for a bit and suddenly he has a questionable look on his face.
Harvey interjects himself back in the conversation.
H2O: You must be getting old like Pugh, Champ. I do use the name “Champ” loosely.
H2O: Let me remind you that In the good ol’ days when I was...Head...Rookie...it was H2O that softened you up for Ligermask to finally put you down.
H2O: I gave you a run for your money 3yrs ago. I damn sure will give it to you now tonight….
H2O: ... with all due respect “Best In The World”.
H2O gives Drago the most sarcastic and cheesiest smile. But Drago feels the negativity coming from Harvey and stares him down.
H2O stops laughing immediately and returns to sender with the same look on his face.
All three men doesn’t say a word and just stand there staring each other down.
ANTONIO EVERRETT vs RUST COHLE
Previously Recorded
The sun starts to set in the same scene as before. A timelapse begins to take place… quickly darkening the scene. The light from a dimming sun bounces off of the rippling water in the pond. The wind blows the long plants growing near the edge of the body of water.
The camera makes a similar cut to the diner shown earlier. Inside, several figures are more visible inside. The view walks inside the diner area to see peaceful gatherings on the floors and near the booths. There are people wearing colorful garments scattered about. A man behind the counter has a long balding ponytail waits behind the counter.
#Notorious Austin Lee again enters the old repurposed diner, this time from the foreground. He peers around, nodding at several of the same figures nervously.
Man: Back again, John Doe? She got here a few minutes ago.
#Austin: I’m just gonna head back.
#Austin makes his way through the same black curtain and standing there waiting is the hooded figure.
Hooded woman: How do you feel?
#Austin: ...Better. I am not as dizzy as I used to be, you know… after.
Hooded woman: That’s great. I have something new for you today. It has…
#Austin shutters and awkwardly throws his hands up.
#Austin: Please… don’t tell me what is inside… I already hate myself for stooping to this level. Just give me what I need.
Hooded woman: Mr. Lee, I think it’s important that you know the way your body reacts and why it happens. It will help your progress.
#Austin shakes his head and sighs.
#Austin: Fine… What is it this time?
Hooded woman: It’s for your fitness. It’s fully plant based protein..It contains organic pea, brown rice, and chia. It’s best used with that almond milk I provided you last week.
#Austin shutters again and closes his eyes.
#Austin: That sounds like the worst protein shake ever.
The woman slowly removes her colorful hood and pulls her hair out of her face. She smiles at Austin. As the light illuminates her face, we see it’s Terra Daturas.
Terra: I’m so happy you’re taking these steps to heal your body. I promise this isn’t bad. It can even be used as a meal replacement if you’re feeling full!
#Austin reluctantly takes the bag of powder from Terra’s outstretched hand and shakes it with a disgusted look on his face. He then puts his hand on his head.
#Austin: Fine… Remember our agreement. Nobody…
Terra giggles at Lee and shakes her head before he can finish.
Terra: Don’t worry Mr. Lee. I know. I’ll see you tomorrow.
#Austin puts his head down and waves at Terra before putting his collar up again and heading out of the back room.
