Bingo looked around at his “kids,” who, by their looks, did not love junkyards.
B17: Cheap, rusty, needing some serious maintenance, the American Dream!
Bolek: Ohhhh…. What are we doing here? I thought you were getting us a nice car, not a giant piece of junk.
B17: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all these fine lovers are classics!
Bolek: Should I remind you of the car you destroyed a few months ago? It was a new Audi! I guess that old lady was right about you being cheap…amongst other things…
Hifumi: Nani? Kore doko desu ka?
B17: That's right. You all get to pick one! My treat to you. To B17, nothing means more than family besides the CCW Title.
Bingo pats the CCW Championship on his shoulder.
Hifumi: Nani ga okotte iru…?
B17: The shoulder is fine! Why do you ask? Ahh, what a beautiful day, pick a damn car.
Having a tantrum, Bolek kicks the nearest car, and the door falls off.
Bolek: Damn! I think I broke my foot. This is what you call a lovely day with the kids, B? I ain’t getting any of these “cars”.
B17: Does Bashy allow you to publicly pout? Keep it up, and your curfew will be 9!
Bolek is about to protest that he doesn't have a curfew, but Bingo has already turned away and is now trying to talk to Hifumi, who stares blankly at him, visibly confused at this entire situation.
B17 mimes driving a car, sound effects included.
B17: Like this.
B17: VrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmErrrrrrvrummmm.
Bolek: Does she always look this confused?
Bingo: Only some of my kids are smart.
A black Sprinter van pulls up on the scene. BASH jumps out of the back of the van. He stares for a moment before making his way over to Bolek.
BASH: We have a match to prepare for Bolek. Why are you in a junkyard?
BASH turns around and sees Bingo; he takes a deep breath before addressing the CCW champion.
BASH: You and I have unfinished business. Stop bothering Joshi; I am sure she doesn’t care about this. These cars are about as valuable as you are.
BASH: Your attempts to corrupt Boek's mind will not go unpunished.
BASH turns to Hifumi and speaks to her in Japanese as he walks past.
BASH: Kaiketsusaku o o motome no baai wa, DNS igai ni sagasu hitsuyō wa arimasen.
Hifumi looks shocked at BASH as he speaks fluent Japanese to her. Bolek shrugs his shoulders at Bingo before following BASH over to the van. The two hop in the back of the van, and it peels out before fading out of sight.
A sad Bingo looks on.
ROUND 3 - TURMOIL BLOCK
KAMEYO HADA vs. ASHLEY MOORE
A massive line forms outside of a local New York comic shop. Heading inside past the seemingly never ending waves of people, we see Hall of Famer Dragana Cesar and her newest protegee Lotus FloJo seated at a table waiting to sign autographs.
Dragana has a chibi plushie of herself seated at the table. Several boxes of super deformed OCW wrestlers such as Quartz, Marisa, Wrex, and others line the shelves. Regina Tacet takes the chibi of herself and uses its arm to wave at all the fans in attendance.
FloJo: Hey. Can I see that, please?
Dragana hands her the plushie. FloJo stares deeply into its big blue eyes. She gives it a hug. Regina Tacet smiles before turning back to the fans. One teenage girl wearing glasses walks up to the pair. She looks at Dragana while signing to her.
Girl (signing):Thank you for helping people like me feel recognized. You’re an icon!
Dragana blushes and signs back to her.
Dragana (signing):Thank you.
She grabs a marker and signs the fan’s custom cover of OCW 2k24, featuring Dragana’s giant, pixelated, zoomed in face. She hands the cover back to the fan and gives her a hug before waving goodbye.
FloJo looks down, still hugging the Dragana plushie. The Silent Queen notices her dour mood and reaches over, but is interrupted by another guest; a small girl with blonde pigtails with her mother holding her hand.
The child is carrying a piece of paper with her. Before they can greet Dragana and FloJo, the paper flies out of the child’s hands, hovering past the entrance.
Child: MOM!
The distressed child starts crying. Dragana looks at FloJo and nudges her, pointing toward the paper.
FloJo: Really…? Fine…
She stands up and runs out of the comic shop. Looking left and right, she finds the paper wedged underneath a bench. She takes it and dusts it off.
Walking back to the shop, she looks at the paper to find that it’s a crude drawing of FloJo before joining The Family; holding the World Women’s Wrestling Championship.
FloJo looks at the photo and mumbles something to herself: I’ll show them all especially you, Debbie.
FloJo returns to the comic shop and signs the child’s drawing, returning it back to her.
FloJo: heh...Thanks kid.
Child: YAY!
She gives FloJo a hug while laughing. Dragana looks on with a smile on her face.
FIGHT NIGHT
CHRIS GREENE
vs.
ANTHONY MARTIN
We return from a commercial break with Jim Black and…
A tearful BAE appears on the screen.
BAE: Ladies and Gentlemen, BAE must break his silence. BAE is sad. I am BAE, formerly of KCBAE. That’s right, formerly.
BAE begins breathing heavily; he covers his eyes and takes a long, deep breath.
BAE: KC was injured by DNS. This injury is severe enough that I must be honest, DNS should have charges brought against them.
BAE: Now BAE has tried to help all you ungrateful people. I warned you that this company was being unfair to its all-natural competitors. KC’s injury is proof that OCW needs weight restrictions!
Black: Woah, woah! Are you suggesting weight classes?
BAE: NO! BAE suggests that he wouldn't be zero and three if he hadn’t had to face 300lb tubbies weekly! BAE refuses to acknowledge these results! My hand was on the ropes anyway, so we won’t count that as a loss; if you remove that result, I am zero and two, but since we are dismissing those unfair results, I am now one and zero and due for a proper competition next!
Black, obviously confused by this rationale, nods slowly.
Black: So your loss to Flash doesn’t count?
BAE: He and the ref are disqualified! BAE wins!
Black: And your loss to Johnny?
BAE: Unsanctioned!
Black: And against DNS?
BAE: OMEN spelled backward is NEMO, and we can’t find a NEMO in this world that big! It doesn’t count!
BAE storms away, leaving Black puzzled by his interaction.
