Nate Ortiz stands in the center of the ring as the show comes back from another segment. He is dressed in a black suit with a red shirt. He actually looks to be at peace with himself.
Nate: OCW, it’s good to see you once again. As you know I’ve returned to my role as COO of this great company. Your new GM Tiberius Dupree has taken it upon himself to shake things up a bit. And that is what brings me here tonight.
Nate: You see, Wrestlution was the end of a chapter for the three of us. But by no means was it the end of the story. That story won’t end until we’re six feet under. But that last chapter didn’t quite go down like I wanted it to.
There are a mixture of cheers and boos.
Nate: I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t eating at me as I sit in the office making sure this place works the way the old man wants it to. Wrestlution is the crown jewel of this place, and losing there hurts just a little more.
Nate: Despite all the victories it's loses that you remember. That loss at Wrestlution just doesn’t sit well with me. I was right there and just when I had it, there was another man in that ring that ripped it away from me. That ended up being the reason I didn’t walk out with my hand held high.
Nate: I’m not going to wait a year to shake this feeling. I don’t need to. Not when I hold the summer in my hand. And where does the summer shine brightest?
Nate:
Summercide! I’m not going to say your name because I don’t need to. But I am going to ask you to come out here and say yes. So we can settle this thing once and for all.
The crowd rises in anticipation as chants for Tiberius Dupree fill the arena as they know the man who took his summer streak is calling him out.
There’s an awkward pause for a few moments while Nate waits patiently. The crowd grows restless and reaches a fever pitch when the lights are dimmed.
A spotlight shines on the rising podium The Betterness typically uses. A figure stands with its back turned to most of the crowd, but it looks a little different from the usual Dupree.
He has his robe, the arms spread apart, that glorious mane…..But the figure turns around and the crowd pops, but not for The Betterness.
The camera zooms in to reveal Bubba comfortably perched on the podium. The spotlight moves from the giant cat onto the top of the ramp, where Drago Cesar, dressed in his usual Drago Mac attire, stands with his arms crossed.
The lights come back on around the arena and his theme blasts across the speakers.
The audience can’t contain their excitement, chanting various expletives in reaction to what they might potentially see. Drago runs down the ramp and slides in the ring.
He gives Nate a brief glare as he passes by him, climbing up to the second turnbuckle and playing to the crowd. An official tosses a mic to him and he descends back down to the ring, shuffling around before he starts.
Drago: Sorry for….subvert your expectations, but Dupree not here right now. I’m think he doing paperwork or something. But hey, Bubbaness is pretty cool, right?
The crowd does a mild pop for the big cat. Nate looks on at Drago with his hands on his hips.
Drago: But anyway, I was in back while you were talking to these people. I’m couldn’t help but notice you talk about Wrestlution. The grandest stage of all, the biggest event in history of not only this company, but entire world!
Drago:
As much as Summercide is your baby, Wrestlution is mine. Not only having streak of my own, but being first man since….well you to have two match at Wrestlution!
The audience claps for the fun fact. Drago nods in approval while Nate is still trying to figure him out.
Drago: But….I don’t think it would have been really recognize without you, Goat. I could have beaten eight people at Lution, won every other title in sun, get twenty star rating from Gabe Seltzer….
The crowd pops at the mention of the famous, or perhaps infamous, wrassling critic.
Drago: I would have never been a made man in OCW without you.
Drago points to The Franchize and he raises his eyebrows in response. Drago anxiously walks around the ring.
Drago: You didn’t have to give me that shot, you didn’t have to share main event of the greatest show with me. But you did. You saw something in me, and you took a chance.
Drago:
You did me biggest favor anyone could have done. So for that, I thank you.
The “Best in the World” pauses for a moment to take in the applause.
Drago: So the reason I’m out here tonight is because I wanna return that favor. I know there was bit of controversy, as much as I’m hate to admit it.
Drago:
Even though you stared at poor Asian Ref for about three full second before you Spear him that night, I know that part of you deep inside always ask….
Drago:
”What if?” What if referee wasn’t in wrong place at wrong time? What if you hit me with Spear? What if….you won?
Drago: And to be honest, it kinda bother me too. So here is what I propose. Wrestlution was about “The Future vs. The G.T.G.O.A.T.”. But I’m not really future anymore and I getting up there in age too.
Drago uses his free hand to point at an imaginary marquee.
Drago: So how about….”The Best vs. The Greatest”.....at the biggest party of the summer???
The crowd erupts into a bevy of cheers while chants of “One More Match” and “Holy S***” alternate. Drago raises his arms to the beat of “One More Match”, pointing his index fingers at the sky almost as if he was Little Bubba. The segment ends with Drago and Nate having a staredown as the crowd goes nuts.
