~ Leo walks towards the Canada Life Centre, home of the former Atlanta Thrashers, the Winnipeg Wannabe-Jets, whistling and swinging his keys in his hand. As he gets to the back entrance of the arena, THE KNIFE MAN is waiting, head tilted watching the stoner booker come to the door. ~
Leo: What up, Knifey?
TKM: I have been instructed to inform you that you have been dismissed as OCW’s booker and have been relegated back recruitment and backstage interviews.
~ Leo looks crushed. ~
Leo: But why? Bossman Thad has been happy with the job I have been doing.
~ TKM shrugs. ~
TKM: I don’t know all the details, but you have been relieved of your duties. Mr. Duke is at an “emergency” board meeting back in
Leo: Who’s replacing me? It better not be Who’re!
TKM: I do not know, Leo. All I know is I was delivered a smart phone with one number on it. That number is the new booker’s and until they are ready to be revealed I will letting everyone know their decisions.
Leo: You know who it is, don’t you?!
TKM: I have my suspicions but I don’t know for sure. I’m just doing what I am told to do.
Leo: Man... this sucks. Well screw this, I’m going to a strip club.
~ Leo turns around, walking out of view as text notification goes off on TKM’s new phone. ~
TKM: Ahh, the rest of the Face Off card is finished. Guess I’ll be letting the people know.
~ The OCW logo flashes across our screens as the intro video for Massacre starts to play with “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses playing in it. Flash of Sahara forcing Belvedere down the ramp. Outcast holding the OCW high in the air. PIC shaking his head at The Lost Stranger. A shot of Lou Pohl hitting on Diana Watts mother in the locker room area. CJ O’Donnell yelling “Fook” at the roster in the back. Tamika and Veronica Strader’s sneering faces. Dylan Thomas standing tall and proud with Mike Zybala and Lord Allton driving away in a white panel van with “Outsiders” crudely spray painted on the side. We see The Big Bifford putting on his Plethora robe. The Helena twins chasing after Victoria Strader. The video comes to an end on the smiling face of Thaddeus Duke. ~
~ Pyros shoot off across the entrance stage as the camera’s pan around catching a number of signs in the crowd. ~
OUTCAST BE MY DADDY
OOOGA WOOGA MEEKIE
HEY BIFF TRY MY CHICKEN SANDWICH
CRASH HAS A CROOKED PENIS
MIKE MASON FOR PRIME MINISTER
BALL BALL HAS NO BALLS
BADDIE DADDY THADDY
~ The Canadian fans are on their feet cheering for tonight’s show. We pan down to the greatest announce team in the industry today; Jones and Hood. ~
Jones: Welcome OCW Faithful to MONDAY NIGHT MASSACRE!
Hood: When are we going back home to the States?
Jones: After Face Off at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec!
Hood: Oh great, we’ve had to deal with these syrup snorting moose fuckers for two months and we end it with the fuckin’ French? Shoot me now.
Jones: ANYWAY! We have a heck of a show tonight! First is an America versus Canada match with the Marvelous Mike Mason taking on Bob Grenier! Former Craze champion, Tamika Strader, takes on Too Much Zeus in a handicap match!
Hood: The Nickleman and CJ should be a vicious one!
Jones: Yes it will, then it’s two men who haven’t been able to buy a win in BRIM versus Easton Alexander, one thing is guaranteed: one losing streak will end!
Hood: The Main Event is pretty special! It’s the return of Biff!
Jones: Yes, we haven’t seen the big man since Truth or Consequences!
~"Backbreaker" by Fit For A King hits over the PA and the crowd erupts with cheers as Outcast steps out to the top of the entranceway. The crowd calms a bit as Outcast doesn't appear to have the OCW championship with him. Outcast smiles with a Newport in his mouth and exhales through his nostrils. ~
Jones: There’s our THREE time OCW Champion!
Hood: Quietly becoming the greatest champ in history!
~Outcast grabs the zipper of his leather jacket, and with one fluid motion unzips it revealing the OCW championship. The crowd comes back alive with cheers, causing Outcast to give a wicked smile.
Outcast heads to the ring dapping up fans at ringside. Outcast is handed a microphone from Belvedere as he passes by him. Outcast takes the microphone and handsBelvedere his Newport. Belvedere shrugs his shoulders and takes a drag from the Newport. Belvedere begins coughing which causes Outcast to laugh as he hops on the apron.
Outcast stands up and pulls a PBR tall boy from his back pocket. Outcast pops the can open and toast the crowd before chugging down half the can and stepping into the ring. ~
Outcast: I got to say… D@MN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE CHAMPION!
~ The crowd pops and begins cheering again. ~
Outcast: I came back to OCW for one reason, and one reason only, and that was to reclaim MY OCW CHAMPIONSHIP!
I wanted to take it off of Bifford, but like The Stones said, you can’t always get what you want, BUT, if you try you just might get what you need. I needed to be OCW champion, I needed it to solidify my legacy, and secure my spot as a first ballot hall of famer. I needed to be OCW champion to do what no man has ever done before and become the first ever three-time OCW champion. Most importantly, I needed to be OCW champion to prove to myself, and everyone else that I am the best wrestler to ever step foot in OCW.
I may have f**ked up every other aspect of my life. I failed as a father, as a husband, as a overall human being, but when it comes to what we do in between these ropes there isn’t a other**ker alive who can do it like me. This is my home, my domain, my life, and I have reached the pinnacle of it. I have truly reached the top of the mountain, and now there is no place left to go.
~The crowd seems a bit confused, as do the announcers.~
Jones: What do you think Outcast means by that?
Hood: If you shut up for a second I’m sure he’ll tell us.
Outcast: I’m not retiring as champion, or walking out as champion, because that is some b*tch-made bullsh*t. What I am saying is that when someone finally pries the OCW championship from my cold, unconscious hands, that I will be done in OCW, and done in the world of professional wrestling.
~The crowd gives a collective gasp of shock.~
Outcast: Hey now, don’t any of you strong and proud OCW faithful worry, cause there isn’t a single one of those sorry sons of b*tches back there that can take this championship from me. Outcast is going to be champion for….
~Outcast is cut off as “Raise Your Hands” by Bon Jovi begins to play over the PA. The crowd begins cheering at the sound of the Savage champion’s music. PIC lets the music play a little to rev up the fans before making his entrance onto the stage. The fans hop to their feet, singing along as PIC eggs them on. He’s all smiles as he heads to the ring, slapping hands along the way while Outcast stares him down from inside. PIC hops up onto the apron and leaps over the top rope. He stands face to face with Outcast as the song continues playing.~
Jones: Here’s one man who clearly takes offense to Outcast’s claim that no one on the roster can take his world championship.
Hood: PIC has been on a roll, that’s for sure. But this is Outcast. Three time OCW champion. That feat has never been done before and likely never will again.
~PIC takes his jacket off to reveal the Savage title belt around his waist. The music cuts as the two now stand, staring intensely at each other as the fans begin chanting “This Is Awesome!” PIC walks over to Belvedere who hands him a microphone.~
PIC: Christian Cain… you may think there isn’t a single wrestler in that locker room capable of beating you for the OCW World Championship… but from the sounds of things, there’s about 16,000 wild Canadians that disagree!
~The Canada Life Centre erupts in cheers as Outcast continues to stare PIC down. PIC waits for the crowd noise to die down before he continues.~
PIC: Before I go any further, congratulations are most definitely in order. You slayed the giant known as Killa Kali and other than maybe TLS, no one in OCW knows how much of an accomplishment that is more than yours truly.
~The crowd boos at the mention of Killa Kali’s name.~
PIC: Kali and I had many wars way back in the day and he’s a beast. I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a small part of me that hoped he’d win so I could finally take him down once and for all. But like you said, you don’t always get what you want.
~The crowd begins dueling chants for both competitors as PIC stops to soak it in. Outcast’s demeanor remains unchanged.~
Jones: This place is electric as these two titans of our industry share the ring.
Hood: I’ve got goosebumps, and that doesn’t happen very often.
~The crowd begins to die down as PIC continues.~
PIC: The only thing you said that I take offense to is some crazy assumption that you need that title more than anyone else. You see I’ve studied your career, and in many ways it parallels mine. Young kid finds some early success in the wrestling business at the turn of the century. Gets a chance to dance with the big boys and comes up short. Finds himself out of the business for a long period of time only to come back for one last shot at greatness. In fact, the biggest difference between the two of us is that you’ve won the world championship in your return and I haven’t… yet!
~The crowd pops for that.~
PIC: Your need for that title means nothing compared to mine. It’s the only thing I have left to fight for in this company, and on October 23 at OCW Face Off, I’ll fight with every ounce of strength that I have. You see Outcast, unlike you, I don’t need three OCW World Championship reigns to satisfy me or cement my legacy, I only need one. Because when I beat you in front of the entire world and I win that single accolade that has eluded me for my entire career, I don’t plan to ever lose it. I’m going to become the longest reigning OCW World Champion in the history of this company, and in doing so, the name PIC will go down as the best wrestler to ever grace the ring. That you can count on… that is a promise!
~Outcast steps to PIC so that the two men are eye to eye. Tension hangs high in the air as the two men stare at each other. Outcast brings the PBR to his mouth and chugs the rest while never breaking eye contact with PIC. Outcast then throws the empty can into the crowd and pulls off the OCW championship and holds it above his head.~
Outcast: What you seem to be missing PIC is that I am standing in your way. I AM, the longest reigning champion in OCW history, and the only man who will ever break that record is me.
~Outcast steps back and lays the OCW championship on the mat between him and PIC and yells at PIC “try and take”. PIC nods his head and reaches for the belt, as he does Outcast quickly snatches it off the ground and back to him. PIC and Outcast go forehead to forehead and begin yelling at each other as OCW officials slide in and begin separating the men before it can become physical as the show fades to commercial. ~
Jones: Folks, our opening match was supposed to be a Canada versus America match between “Marvellous” Mike Mason and Bob Grenier, but Grenier decided not to honour his booking. He sent a very bad quality video in he filmed on a 50 dollar “smart” phone in the discount bin at Walmart.
Hood: Shit, really? We have footage of that?
Jones: The truck is telling me we do.
~ The OCWTron lights up Bob appears on a pre-taped vignette. He's standing atop a very large mountain. Clad in aviators and a black army jacket, he plants a flag in the ground.
Bob Grenier: To Mike Mason and the fans in attendance this evening, Due to unforeseen circumstances, With a heavy heart, I regret to inform you that Bob Grenier cannot be there this evening...
~ A cool wind blows and he lights his trademark joint.~
Bob Grenier To be blunt, Pun intended..
~ He laughs. ~
Bob Grenier: A return of this magnitude deserves main event status. I jerk the curtain for nobody.
~ We fade back to ringside, current time. ~
Jones: Guess Bob has never heard the phrase “Your main event is only as good as your opening match?
Hood: That’s the dumbest shit I’ve heard you say. Smith would’ve said something smarter. Anyway, that was far more entertaining than anything that could be coming up next!
~ "Dreamweaver" hits the speakers as the fans go nuts. Mike Zybala walks out from behind the curtain to a huge ovation. He's holding a microphone. ~
Hood: Told ya. What's he doing out here? He lost the tag titles last week!
Jones: Plenty of people have shown up to shows after losing titles. Why would Zybala be any different?
Hood: I was just hoping that the tag belts were some tether keeping Zybala here and once he lost them... you know.... he'd be gone.
~ The music stops and Zybala waits for the crowd to simmer down before he starts talking. ~
Zybala: Well last week wasn't fun for me. But there is no shame in losing to Duce. Good luck to the unlucky bastards who try to get the belts off of Duce and Byson. That's not why I'm out here. Last week was a wake up call if you will. Lately it feels like I'm going through the motions. Like my best years are behind me and that I'm just here to put over the next generation. But that doesn't sit right with me. I'm not the type to just let myself limp away. I'd rather burn out than fade away. So, PIC, or Outcast, whoever has the world title after Face/Off, I'm talking to you. I challenge whoever wins in a career versus title match!! One last blaze of glory. I win, I become the OCW world champion. IF I lose, then one of those two will have the honor of ending one of the greatest and weirdest careers this game has ever seen. If the worst happens, I'll focus more on my ownership duties of both OCWs. You won't get rid of me completely, but you will never see me wrestle again... Gentlemen, I wait with anticipation to see who wins and their answer...
~ Zybala turns towards the back as the crowd is actually speechless. Mike Zybala gone from wrestling? Can they even imagine a world like that? ~
“I'm too sexy for my love. Too sexy for my love. Love's going to leave me.”
~ The funky bass drum synthesized intro kicks in as I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred plays and TOO MUCH ZEUS struts out on stage. ~
“I’m too sexy for my shirt. Too Sexy for my Shirt. So Sexy it Hurtssssss.”
Belvedere: ... really? Ok... Introducing first in this handicap match... hailing from Olympia, or maybe somewhere in the Mid-West... they are Zeus... and well, Zeus. TOO MUCH ZEUS!!!
Hood: How these two have a job?
Jones: How is there two of them?
Hood: Valid.
~ Too Much Zeus try to slap the hands of some fans but they want nothing to do with it. They reach the ring, and await their opponent with an unearned sense of confidence. ~
Jones: Tamika is gonna stomp a mudhole in them.
Hood: If she doesn’t have a concussion from York’s piledriver after their match last Monday.
Jones: Sore loser.
~ The arena lights dim as the OCWTron comes to life, flickering silver and green as “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah) by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts starts to play, the drum beat matching the OCWtron flickering lights. The guitar comes to life as TA-MEEK-AH STRAY-DERR (yes, just like that) appears on the screen and the OCW faithful roar to life. ~
Belvedere: Introducing their opponent...
//We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy
I'm a natural ma'am
Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high\\
Belvedere: Weighing in at hundred and forty five pounds...
~ Tamika steps out from behind the curtain, bobbing her head to the beat. ~
//Cry at night
No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine
If you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare
Yeah\\
Belvedere: Hailing from Houston, Texas by way of London, Ontario Canada...
//Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah\\
~ Tamika reaches the bottom of the ramp and lifts her left fit up in the air, Strader Sneer across her lips. ~
//Yeah, Oh yeah, oh yeah\\
Belvedere: She is one half of the Cowgirls From Hell and the greatest former Craze Champion in OCW history.... TAMIKA STRADERRRRRRRRR!!!!
//Every girl an' boy
Needs a little joy
All you do is sit an' stare
Beggin' on my knees
Baby, won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair\\
~ Tamika walks up the steps, and wipes her boots on the ring apron before stepping through the middle rope since she is no pixie stick five foot one lady. ~
//My, my, my
Whiskey and rye
Don't it make you feel so fine
Right or wrong
Don't it turn you on
Can't you see we're wastin' time, yeah\\
~ Tamika hits the four corners raising her fist up in the air, before finding her corner as she stares Too Much Zeus. ~
Jones: This should be over quick.
Hood: Well it’s only slightly better than the other TMZ.
Jones: That’s not true.
Hood: Oh? Ask the Sons of Krayzie.
Jones: Touché.
~ DING DING DING ~
~Juff signals for the competitors to go at it and the Zeus’s start doing rock/paper/scissor for who’s gonna go at Tamika. Tamika tilts her head watching them. They turn their back to her, huddled up in discussion. ~
Hood: They know they gotta hit her at least once, right?
Jones: Honestly, Hood, I’d be surprised if they wear clean underwear.
Mike Mason (4-4) vs Bob Grenier (21-15)
TAMIKA STRADER (15-2) vs TOO MUCH ZEUS (1-10)
