The camera pans backstage with Stacy Clark standing with a microphone. She takes a look over at her producer and leaps into action.
Stacy: Hello, OCW Universe! Tonight, my guests requested this opportunity to speak with me themselves. I was initially put off at the thought, but seeing as how that creep Matsumoto is still out of the arena, I obliged.
The camera zooms out to see Cowboy Quartz and Rust Cohle standing beside her, proudly displaying their world tag team championships over their shoulder.
Stacy: THIS Sunday, these two men will once again put their titles on the line - this time against The Inception members, K’Dangelo and the returning Tyson Wagner!
Stacy: Guys, this impressive run in the tag team division you’ve had began nearly a year ago when you teamed up at Wrestlution XII to face one of your two opponents in your upcoming PPV match, Tyson Wagner.. He-
Cohle snatches the mic out of Stacy’s hand and stares at her for a moment.
Rust: Enough already! C’est assez!
Rust: CQC did not request this interview so you could yap your gums off.
Rust: Now then, ladies and gentleman, greatness stands before you, as your OCW Tag team champions will once again defend their titles, against a very familiar opponent and.. Some washed up legend.
Rust: But I see you coming Stace. “Oh but Cyborg beat you the last time nianiania”. Didn't happen. Was another time. This time WE are the hunters, they are not on the same level.
Rust: As far as THE UNCROWNED goes, you might as well call yourselves THE NEVER-EVER1CROWNED, cause you'll never touch these bad boyz.
Rust slaps the championship over his shoulder as well a his partner's. Quartz takes the microphone and looks at the camera. He raises the mic to his face and thinks for a moment before removing his 10-gallon hat and holding it in his off-hand.
Quartz: I have basically had a muzzle on my face for weeks now. I’ve had enough.
Quartz: The Inception inserted themselves into our business once it was decided that we were too strong. They came about because of Rust Cohle… because of Spider Matsumoto... because of Kassidy Hayes… Because of Hideo Matsuda.
Quartz: They came together because they knew they’d never beat us without a collective force. Fortunately for Bobby Minio’s ability to leech on other people, he was able to secure the Pride title before we could.
Quartz: Fortunately for H2O, he was able to keep the title away from Kassidy Hayes by colluding with Paul Pugh and FAME.
Quartz drops the cowboy hat to his side, stepping on top of it and looking directly into the camera.
Quartz: Unfortunately for these two third rate wrestlers KD and Wagner, we’re not going to lose these.
Quartz: ...And let me tell you something Paul Pugh. Once we finish them, I’m coming for you next. You think you can protect the greatest title in TTT’s company by keeping yourself off of the card, you’re wrong.
Quartz: You’re 2 steps away from me, and once I’m finally given the opportunity… I’m going to crush you for what you’ve done to me and what you’ve done to TTT’s company since you walked your old ass back in here.
Quartz lowers the mic and hands it back to Rust Cohle, who is smirking arrogantly.
Rust: You can count on it. Because we’re not just Tag Team Champions…
Both members of CQC Throw up the “UE” at the same time.
Rust: We’re Upper Echelon Greatness… and I will be damned if someone like you is going to hold us down.
Rust haphazardly tosses the mic back at Stacy, who manages to catch it. CQC walk off the set determined.
We transition to the P3 Soundstage 9000, where “Fred Durst” and his cover band are playing their rendition of “All Together Now”, called “Rollin’ Together Now”. Drago and Mugen literally roll into the cameraman, causing the camera to tip over. After about a minute of apologizing, the camera is finally upright again.
Drago and Mugen take their positions on the couch and the desk, respectively. Mugen picks up some cards that are on his desk. The camera pans back behind him to reveal that the cards only contain pictures of gorillas on them. The camera pans back in front. Mugen reads one of the cards and looks at the camera.
Mugen: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s guest is, quite frankly, well…..
Drago stands up from the couch, full of rage.
Drago: HE VERY BAD PERSON. HE KICK ME IN GROIN. IT HURT. BAD.
Mugen: To OCW, he is a man with a Hall of Fame ring. To P3, he is public enemy number one. Folks, please welcome….Matsuda.
Drago: MatsudAAAaaaaAAAhhhHHHH!!!!!!
Drago flips over the couch and looks ready to brawl. The camera pans over to the curtain. “Fred Durst” leans forward in anticipation. Drago cracks his knuckles. Mugen removes a very safe mace from below the desk. The crowd is ready to boo Matsuda.
A few moments pass. Nothing is happening. Drago gets sick of waiting and does a jumping spin kick to the curtain, revealing….nothing. He looks back at Mugen.
Drago: He not here.
Mugen: Well I can’t say I’m not surprised! Maybe he’s too busy doing more important things!
Drago: Thing like not being on television for like three years right?
Drago then turns to the camera with an expression that can be only described as him about to have an aneurysm.
Mugen: Huh?
Drago snaps out of it.
Drago: Don’t worry about it.
Drago props up the couch and falls into a seated position.
Drago: Damn!
“Fred”: Man, this is bulls***!
Suddenly, a brick flies through the set and almost hits Mugen, but he ducks at the last second. He picks up the brick and notices that there’s a note attached.
Mugen: Interesting…..
Mugen starts reading the note.
Mugen: “Ha. Ha. Ha. You idiots really thought I was going to show up to your third-rate talk show? You’re as gullible as you are stupid! The Final Boss doesn’t show up just for any show. TTT over everything! TTT is love, TTT is life. Mugen and Drago suck donkey bal…..”
Mugen strokes his chin.
Mugen: That’s weird….
Drago: What is?
Mugen: This looks like Spider’s handwriting!
Before they are able to investigate further, a man of Asian descent steps out from the crowd and stands in the middle of the stage. Drago and Mugen gasp.
Both: ASIAN REF?!?!?!?!?
The crowd claps while Bubba hugs Asian Ref’s leg. The infamous referee from Wrestlution Eleven bows in respect to everyone as he takes a seat next to Drago on the couch.
Asian Ref: Drago-san! Mugen-san!
He flashes a thumbs up toward them.
Asian Ref: NICE TO MEET YOU?!?!?!
Drago: Nice to meet you too Kiryu.
Mugen: I don’t think that’s his name…..
Drago: Oh right. Hi Ryuji!
Mugen: Close enough…..so what brings you here referee-san?
Asian Ref: You…….guys invited me.
Mugen and Drago do their best impression of a thinking emoji.
Drago: We invite MatsudAaAaaAaAA! But once again he ruin thing and we find other Asian.
Mugen: He’s not wrong. Regardless of the circumstances, can you promise me one thing referee-san?
Asian Ref: Yes anything for a fellow Asian.
Mugen: I want you……..to call down the match right down the middle like the consummate professional that you are.
Asian Ref: Of course!
Mugen: I want you to forget that at one time I paid for your salary.
Drago: Your dog.
Mugen: Your kids education.
Drago: Your cow.
Mugen: Your car.
Drago: Your chickens.
Mugen: And of course for your wife.
Mugen and Drago both nudge the Asian Ref with their elbows as to say “amirite?”
Asian Ref: Of course!
Out of nowhere, we hear “Fred Durst” yelling and flying towards Drago only to have Bubba instinctively catch “Fred Durst” out from midair pinning him.
Asian Ref does a fast 3 count and declares Bubba the winner.
“Fred” gets up from underneath Bubba fuming at the ref.
“Fred Durst”: What the hell?! That was a fas……
Before “Fred” can finish his sentence the Asian Ref delivers a superkick to his face.
We switch our focus to the new set created by Charles Scaggs.
Scaggs: Good evening everyone! Welcome to another edition of my new show called “Point and Shoot”. It’s an experiment for me to dig deep and get straight to the point with OCW Superstars.
Scaggs: Today will be Part II of my pilot episode with Mr. Harvey Ocean.
The camera pans back making a wider shot with H2O in picture with Charles Scaggs.
H2O: Evening, Charles. It’s nice to be back.
Scaggs: Thank you for accepting my invitation once again. So let us get right to it.
The camera now points towards Charles Scaggs. You can see in the dark background that there’s four giant sized and nicely framed posters on the wall.
You can’t make out exactly what it is yet because the lighting behind Scaggs is still dark.
Scaggs: Since my last show you’ve gone through some internal things with your group, Inception. What you’re currently going through helped me come up with a “target” to “point and shoot” towards.
H2O: Hit me.
Scaggs smiles as each pod light turns on one by one. They illuminate each poster that is hanging up.
It’s each member of The Inception. Bobby Minio, Cyborg, KD and Valkyrie.
The screen fades to black and the target word fades into the screen.
TEAM
HANDICAP MATCH DOC GREEN vs C.Q.C*
The scene transitions to the hospital room of Dragana. It is the middle of the day and the sun is shining. Dragana is sitting on the edge of her bed in her street clothes, albeit with her head still wrapped up from the injuries sustained in her cell match with Valkyrie. Johnny takes a seat next to her and shakes his head.
Johnny: You don’t have to do this.
Johnny places a hand on Dragana’s shoulder.
Johnny: You need the rest.
Dragana firmly shakes her head.
Dragana: Mmmm!
Johnny sighs and lightly pats her on the back.
Johnny: I’ll go get the car.
Johnny leaves while Dragana is still sitting on the bed. She takes a deep breath and leans forward until her feet touch the floor. She pushes herself off the bed and gets to a standing position.
Dragana: Aah!
She closes her eyes and grits her teeth in pain. She slowly limps over to the bathroom, using the nearby walls for support. She walks inside and looks at herself in the mirror. She lowers her head, staring at the ground.
Dragana: Tch….
She looks back up to see her dark doppelganger staring back at her.
Dark Dragana: Aaaawww…..
Her twin points to her head and pretends to cry. Dark Dragana sniffs and shows the puppy eyes. The real Dragana closes her eyes and takes another deep breath.
She simply smiles at her doppelganger and waves her goodbye. She turns around and leaves the bathroom, leaving her dark twin enraged. She starts yelling like a wild animal, waving her arms out and about until Dragana closes the door behind her. She breathes a sigh of relief.
Dragana notices a volunteer standing in front of her with a wheelchair ready for her. The volunteer looks like a young man in his teens.
Volunteer: Ms. Cesar?
She nods, but instead of sitting on the wheelchair, she simply pats the volunteer on the shoulder and leaves the room.
Volunteer: A-Are you sure?
Dragana: Mhmm!
She nods again, leaving the volunteer confused. The scene fades.
