As the scene fades in we see Elsa Holmberg moving slowly after her grueling match with Ashley Moore. A hint of sweat drips down her forehead.
From behind her comes Ashley Moore, equally drained. She taps Elsa on the shoulder in an attempt to get her attention.
Elsa turns to see her opponent and scowls when she sees who it is.
Elsa: You coming to rub this dirty win in my face?
Ashley: You put up a good fight, Swede.
She extends her hand for a handshake.
Elsa: You thinking I'm going to shake your hand after that? You rake my eyes, kick me with heel, then put feet on the ropes to pin me? Don't think I not see that!
Ashley retracts her hand after it's obvious Elsa won't reciprocate.
Ashley: I'm trying here, Elsa.
Elsa: Trying what? Trying to cheat? I knowing you are no good, Ashley. This prove it!
Ashley: ...So I may have resorted to dirty tactics at the end there, but I've been around that witch, Empress, so long I'm still shaking my old habits.
Elsa leers at her, unsure whether to believe her.
Ashley: Truce?
Elsa: I call a truce when you showing me you deserve one. I will give you second chance, but no more.
As Elsa delivers her parting words she moves out of frame, leaving Ashley to watch her walk away. The scene fades out.
Jim Black: Welcome back to the OCW RIOT Supershow!
Jim Black stands confidently in front of the Riot interview stage. To his left, one half of the OCW World Tag Champions, Inness Quartz.
Jim Black: Tonight, I have the pleasure of speaking with a man who has become something of an enigma in OCW, one half of your OCW Undisputed Tag Team champions, Quartz.
Quartz nods his head to Jim, allowing him to continue.
Jim Black: Tonight, however, Quartz is not in tag team action. Your partner Rust Cohle has been given the night off ahead of your upcoming title defense against Tyson Wagner and KD at Consequence.
Jim Black: Tonight? You’re tasked with Maxwale. Any predictions you have for how tonight is going to go?
Quartz: Well...I do have and will continue to have support ringside with Rustin. He has been and will continue to be an incredibly important presence for me in my contests… As you’ve undoubtedly seen over the last year and change.
Quartz: Prediction wise? I see no reason I cannot continue improving my skills to prepare for the Inception in our final battle. I predict that Maxwale, being the talented man that he is, will give me a strong fight, but I don’t see Quartz falling this evening, Jim.
Jim Black: You said Maxwale is a talented competitor--
Quartz: I did. He is. He’s earned that much. Despite his less than honorable ways, he recently challenged one of the top men in this business on the biggest stage for one of these.
Quartz looks down and gives his OCW gold a firm knock.
???: Predictions!?
From the left, Maxwale invades the interview, shaking his head and smirking at his opponent for tonight.
Maxwale: Well it’s gotta be said, you’re not much of a meteorologist if you can’t predict the STORM that’s coming for you in that ring tonight, dough boy.
Quartz does not respond with vitriol, instead simply looking across at Maxwale with his usual stonefaced demeanor.
Maxwale: You wanna pass yourself off as the honorable, strong, silent type, while 3 months ago, you’d have been doing the exact same things to get ahead in this business..
Maxwale:
The exact same things you HAVE to do to get ahead. The same things I’ve done to become OCW’s greatest attraction. MAXWALE.
Maxwale strolls off the set leaving Quartz to sneak a smile out at him before looking back at Jim and laughing as he too walks off the set, ready for his match.
Jim Black: Well, there you have it. Later tonight we have Maxwale and Quartz going mano y mano for the first time in their careers, this is sure to be a classic!
The scene cuts to commercial.
Recorded Over The Weekend
The scene opens to a wondrous view of the Colorado Mountains. As our camera pans back we see several other cameras that are setup around a den area of the house. It has a wrap around couch and loveseat that sits in the center facing the couch.
Stacy Clark looks out the sliding glass door enjoying the view. Meanwhile, members of The Inception walk in. Stacy turns and walks towards them to shake their hand.
H2O takes her hand and kisses it. Stacy isn’t surprised by Harvey’s charm. Since day one he’s always been gentle with her. Stacy pulls back her hair from her face and places it behind the ear with a smile.
Cyborg: Has he always been this extra?
KD just shakes his head “yes”.
Stacy: Thanks for inviting me out here. It’s my first time out here in Colorado and I saw all 4 seasons in one day.
H2O: That’s Colorado for you. The weather is always unpredictable here. I always told my parents we should’ve stayed in Canada.
Stacy: I didn’t know you were from Canada.
H2O: Yes. I’m from Calgary where the air is fresh and crispy. (Sniffs the air)Good ol’ Air F’n Canada.
Stacy: That’s very interesting. But we’ll have to save that for another time. Right now I want to talk to all of you about your upcoming matches at Consequences.
Stacy shows a bit of concern suddenly. She looks around like she’s looking for something or someone.
Stacy: Guys, aren’t we missing one other person?
H2O looks down as KD and Cyborg just look at each other.
KD: We called and he didn’t answer. He must’ve been hung over from Mugen’s Beach Party.
Stacy: Ok, fair enough. Let’s start with the tag team of Inception, KD and Tyson. You guys finally get your rematch against The Undisputed Tag Team Champions CQC.
Stacy: Are you guys ready for them?
KD: Are we ready? Management hasn’t booked us together as a tag team since the day we lost the titles to those bums.
Cyborg: They snubbed us our rematch with them that could’ve been set for Wreslution. So could all this be a conspiracy against Inception? Who knows and who cares.
KD: Their recent loss to Golden Cobra proves that them boys have gone soft since the last time we face them.
KD: I put a hurting on The OCW World Champion Doc Green since then and Tyson here just proved recently why they call him The Cyborg.
KD: So to answer your question pretty bunny, we are still ready.
Stacy: Despite not having a match together as a team in two months it sure sounds like you two are still ready.
Stacy: Now onto you, Harvey. On Riot Super Show you square off against B17 for the #1 Contendership for The OCW World Heavyweight Title.
Stacy: One could argue because you were recently buried by Drago Cesar you don’t have what it takes anymore to be in title contention.
H2O: One thing I’ve come to terms with here in OCW, everyone remembers my lows but not my highs. Especially this season.
H2O: KD and myself beat FAME on their initial return from “retirement”. I defeated Paul Pugh not once but TWICE just like our beloved World Champion did.
H2O: I’ve ended Hayes’s streak AND put him on the shelf. We’re all REALLY trying to forget that aren’t we? I guess that’s why you said one could argue. But it’s sad it’s even an argument.
H2O: So I assume the next question Stacy is am I ready to face the former CCW World Heavyweight Champion B17?
H2O: Of course I am ready. I have to salvage my reputation as being one of the top competitors in this company.
H2O: Did Code Jackman help rebuild my reputation? Yes. Did Malu help? Absolutely! But this match right here puts H2O back in Head Superstar status.
H2O: What a better way to take back “The Future OCW World Heavyweight Champion” status from the man I gave it to B17. By beating him and moving on to Consequences to face a person that is, how did Malu say it, unworthy to hold The Head Superstar status.
Stacy sits back briefly in the loveseat to shuffle her scripts around. She places them down onto the coffee table and leans forward in the seat.
Stacy: Wow, a lot was said there Harvey. It’s been awhile since we all saw this kind of passion from you. I’m sure you guys missed it as well.
Both Tyson and KD give Harvey a fist bump.
Stacy: Before we go I have a special guest that came out here with me to Colorado. But before I continue may I invite them in?
The Inception looks behind the couch and all around to see where the guest is coming from.
H2O: Uh, sure I guess. As long as there won’t be any problems here. This is my parents home.
Stacy smiles and signals her crew to bring in her special guest. You hear, “Right this way.” as several crew members walk down the hallway and points them towards the den.
Everyone gasps to see The OCW Women’s Champion Valkyrie. KD and Tyson gives her a hug and welcomes her. H2O feels a bit awkward seeing her but still greets her with a hug of his own.
She sits down next to Stacy and places The Women’s Title on her lap.
Valkyrie: Hi, boys!
KD: I never thought I’d see you with us again.
Stacy: Well to be fair, neither have I. But….
H2O: Valkyrie, I’m sorry. Sorry for ever doubting you as being one of the closest friends I ever had here in OCW.
There’s a brief moment of silence. Valkyrie inhales deeply and exhales.
Valkyrie: The feeling is mutual. Unfortunately a lot happened to me this season and I kinda lost track of who was my real ally. I apologize.
H2O: I accept your apology.
Cyborg: So do we.
Valkyrie: Thank you guys. I accept yours as well, Harvey.
All the members of Inception stand up gives Valkyrie a big group hug. They all start to converse with each other.
Stacy: Well, I’m glad that went smoother than I thought it would. From Denver, Colorado you have been watching The Clark Effect. I’m Stacy Clark and we’ll see you at Riot 539 Supershow!
JETT DRAVEN vs. SOLOMON CAINE
The scene opens with T.Y. Sparks backstage looking at the camera with a smile on his face, still wearing his ring attire with B17’s glasses on his head, and is standing with a kid that looks to be about 11 years old.
Sparks:Aye, let me show you the catering area.
Sparks walks to the catering area as the camera follows him. Along the way Sparks sees Joshua Tucker.
Sparks:JT! Come say hi to my little brother, Sean.
JT:Hey Sean! JT crouches down and Sean and JT share a high five.
JT: Having fun?
Sean: Yeah! Do you know where Spider is?
JT: Why is he your favorite?
Sean: No! I want to tell him that he's trash!
JT laughs and walks away.
Sparks:This is the catering area! This is where we eat after a long day at work! Now how about I show you the Rec room.
They walk to the Rec room and the camera man follows.
Sparks:This are the Rec room! As you can see there is a TV, this is where all of the wrestlers hang out, chill, and converse amongst thems-Sparks pauses and squints his eyes looking in the distance. Look Sean, It’s your favorite wrestler, B17! Let’s go talk to him and I’ll introduce you to him.
Sparks walks up to B17
Sparks:Hi there B17! This is my little brother Sean, he’s a huge fan of yours!
Sean: Hi. Sean says in a nervous tone.
B17: Huge fan? Huge fan? Of course he's a huge fan… everyone with half a brain should be a huge fan of The Bingo Bomber!
B17 drops to a knee.
B17: Shane. Do you know what it means to live Bingo Color?
Sean: Uhhh, no?
B17: It means buying my newest merch. How much money you got on you?
Sean pulls out a five dollar bill: Um… only this much.
B17 takes the money: The B Community thanks you for your donation. Here's a picture of Tom Schleck, huge fan.
B17 stands back up and looks at Sparks: And what's…what's...um.. your...ARE THOSE MY GLASSES!?
Sparks: Uhh… umm… yeah… I took em, HEY IS THAT CHRIS HEMSWORTH!?
B17: Where!
He spins around in excitement while Sparks picks up Sean and runs.
As El Parca is making his way backstage to do his usual check-up, he finds a letter on his locker.
"Meet me in the parking lot, that is an emergency"
Parca doesn't know what to make of this mysterious letter. He tries to ignore it, but is too curious to let it pass.
He is going to the Parking lot.
No one in sight. He spots another letter, on a limo. He approaches.
The letter reads:"Got you."
As he looks around him, staying his ground, he sees something through the car window. A luchador's mask.
He has seen it somewhere before but can put a finger on it.
He turns around and gets clobbered by a steel chair.
The only thing he sees is a pair of white sneakers leaving the scene, as he fades on the ground.
