From the South Plains Junior College Gymnasium in Lubbock, Texas.
Sin ti, no tendríamos La Omerta, o la gota Incredible
Tome al mundo por sorpresa, eso es lo que va a hacer
Es debido a que nos encanta la lucha libre
Mario Marauko e Ian Bishop
~The band finishes as “Godfather Waltz” by Slash echoes throughout the gymnasium as the crowd stands and boos as Mario Marauko walks down to the ring. He enters the ring and indulges himself with a drink before taking a microphone and speaking~
Mario: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like for you all to stand up and welcome your first ever 2-Time OCW Hall of Famer, Mario Maurako!
~The crowd boos as Mario raises his hands and soaks up the boos from the audience~
Mario: That’s right, I did what I said I was going to do and at Resurrection I defeated Bobbinette Carey for the umpteen millionth time. But in the process I have rectified a cosmetic wrong with the Hall of Fame. And now finally the greatest Tag Team to ever grace an OCW ring will take their place in the OCW Hall of Fame where they belong. And next week live on Massacre I will be holding a Hall of Fame induction ceremony. I am so proud of my accomplishment that I’m taking this week off from trying to destroy OCW.
~The crowd boos as Mario smiles, enjoying their reaction to the tongue-in-cheek act of good faith he just announced~
Mario: but enough about me. I almost forgot about the newest member of the Family who displayed an awesome… no, that’s not the word, amazing… not that’s not it either… Oh!... an INCREDIBLE display of athleticism and became OCW’s Central Champion. Give it up for… IAN BISHOP!
~“Acid Rain” by Liquid Tension Experiment plays as the crowd boos just as much if not more as Ian Bishop comes out with the belt around his waist. He slowly makes his way to the ring showing the effect of the House of Mirrors is still warring on him as he rolls into the ring and begins dancing with the woman and chugging down a bottle of rum. He hugs Mario as they then shake hands and Ian proceeds to speak~
Ian: Give it up for Mario Marauko.
~The crowd gives it their all as they jeer the Family~
Ian: YOU SHOW THIS MAN RESPECT HE IS A LIVING LEGEND AND YOU WOULDN’T HAVE AN OCW WITHOUT HIM!
~Ian pants as Mario tells him to calm down. Ian fixes his posture and continues~
Ian: Now… what can we say about last week? In my opinion it turned out to be probably the greatest main event that OCW has ever seen. There was one part in particular that I enjoyed the most… let’s roll the footage!
~Video begins to play as it shows the best highlight from Ian during the House of Mirrors but at the end it shows badly edited tape of the referee handing the belt to what should be Brianna but is quickly cut to a hand dropping the belt onto Ian’s chest and then a quick cut to Ian holding the belt in the air as Mario helped him. Ian is seen smiling at the footage as Mario claps in approval~
Ian: From the moment I stepped into this ring and into this company I made a promise to myself that I would dominate and be the best and I would walk away from Resurrection as OCW Central Champion. I proved to Dean, I proved to the rest of the roster and the world watching online that I deserve this title by being currently undefeated in this ring and pulling off dominating victories in the process. Ladies and gentlemen… I am your OCW CENTRAL CHAMPION!
~Ian pauses for a moment to go to a turnbuckle, climb it and hoist his belt as the crowd boos at the false accusations of being undefeated. The crowd begins to chant “Paper Champion” as clearly Ian and Mario begin to become upset by this~
Ian: YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY TEXAN MOUTHS! DID YOU SEE THAT LOONIE BIN WALK OUT OF RESURRECTION CHAMPION? THAT’S RIGHT, NEITHER DID I. SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THAT MEANS I AM THE RIGHTFUL CHAMP, I AM UNDEFEATED AND I AM GOING TO STAY UNDEFEATED!
~In frustration Ian rips apart one of the fake palm trees as the crowd continues to chant it. The chant begins to simmer down as Ian continues~
Ian: If you pathetic excuses for human beings would allow me to finish; now that I am finished with Brianna and her failed experiments it is now time to turn the future of the OCW Central Championship. Obviously I will continue to hold this title for as long as I am living and now that I have it no one shall stop me but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun and have some TRY to take it from me, right? That is why I am issuing an op--
~Suddenly, an air horn goes off right before RED AND WHITE Confetti busts out of the turnbuckles and “Celebrate” by Kool and the Gang immediately starts to blast over the P.A system. After that red and white streamers begin to descend from the top of the gym and into the ring as Mario and Ian look confused. Ian asks if Mario planned this and Mario seems just as clueless. All of a sudden, doves are released from the side of the gym and fly around the ring in celebration of the new Central Champion. And following the streamers is red and white balloons falling from above and into the ring~
Hood: And the celebration is picking up now!
Smith: This is great …but Mario and Ian seem to be a bit confused as if this wasn’t planned by them.
~Suddenly, a group of cheerleaders dressed in red and white and with a maple leaf on their chests make their way down to the ring shaking their pom poms before surrounding the ring. Mario and Ian actually start to get into it, thinking that maybe Dean has come to his senses and has paid expenses to have an even BIGGER celebration. They are even more taken aback when the school marching band comes out from behind the curtains. They are lead by baton twirlers who start doing back flips towards the ring. The band plays along with the hit “Kool and the Gang” song~
Hood: This is an amazing celebration of Ian’s hardwork.
Smith: This might be a little “much” for a guy that didn’t actually win the title.
Hood: What are you talking about? Of course he won the title …he is holding it right now.
Smith: You know damn well he had it passed down to him.
~As the marching band circles the ring and continues to play …they are followed by a group of clowns who make balloon red and white balloon Ian’s for the kids as they make their way to ringside. They start to pile into the ring and dance around with Ian …while one even makes him a balloon crown and puts it on his head. While this is happening, a moose (who is clearly two men in a suit) struts down to the ring dancing to the fans delight. The moose is followed by a man in a trench coat and an eye patch holding up a sign that says “God Hates Michonne” as confetti continues to fill the gym and streamers and balloons reign down and he doves continue to fly around~
Smith: Okay, this is just getting silly. I know him having the Central Title is BIG but this is just overkill. And what is the guy in the eyepatch supposed to be.
Hood: Now, I don’t watch a lot of television …I believe he is a Woodbury Baptist.
Smith: Is that because Ian looks a LOT like the guy from the Walking Dead.
Hood: Maybe. But you should shut up and enjoy the PARTY! This is great.
~The Woodbury Baptist jumps into the ring as now even Ian starts to think something might be up. The stern eyepatch wearing man stares at him …before doing the Carlton dance with the widest smile on his face. But that isn’t all, as all four Ghostbusters (or guys dressed like the Ghostbuster) make their way down to the ring as the flow doing the dance they do during the credits of their popular eighties cartoon. They have the proton packs and all. But then two clansmen appear from behind the curtain and everything stops. The music stops. The band stops playing. People stop dancing. Ian looks at the confused~
Hood: RUN DEAN RUN! Ian’s posse has arrived.
Smith: Okay, I am absolutely confused as to what is going on.
~Suddenly, the robed clansmen look at each other …and then proceed to do the robot as the fans cheer and the music continues and the band starts up again. The two clansmen pop and lock their way to the ring; one even performs the worm down to the ring. They jump up on the steel steps and perform “The Puppet” as “Celebrate” continues to echo throughout the gym. Both Mario and Ian are both now growing upset with this. But that changes when a few cheerleaders begin to drag a giant red and white cake with a maple leaf on it down to the ring. Ian and Mario know what comes next as they poke at each other with winks and nods~
Hood: Things are about to get good, Smith. You know what a giant cake means during celebrations right?
Smith: Your hot wife will have thirty extra pounds during the honeymoon which you did NOT sign up for?
Hood: Um …close. I think we are going to see some very sexy results coming up.
~The cake stops at the edge of the ring as Ian and Mario inch closer to the cake. They are about to dive in …but they are interrupted as a big BLACK man dressed as a Mountie pops and jumps onto the apron and starts grinding on the ropes. Ian immediately draws back as the black Mountie crawls into the ring and struts his stuff. He immediately tears off his shirt and continues to grind and flex his pecs. He then rips off his pants to reveal a red g-string with a white maple leaf on the crotch. He starts to grind ever closer to Ian, who is now pissed~
Smith: Now THAT is entertainment.
Hood: This is just disrespectful.
Smith: I think this whole thing was meant to be disrespectful.
Hood: Who would dislike Ian so much that they would go to this far?
Smith: EVERYONE!
~Ian pushes the big black stripper off him and he yells over the microphone~
Ian: ENOUGH!
~The Kool and the Gang song ends and the marching band stops playing …everyone who just made their way down to ringside stop dancing~
Hood: And it looks like Ian has finally had enough of this tom foolery.
Smith: It is quite funny.
Hood: Shut up! It is disrespectful to our champ!
Smith: You were enjoying it seconds ago.
~FINALLY, “Stockholm Syndrome” by Muse hits the P.A system as the fans rally together in a huge pop for the winner of the House of Mirrors match. Brianna Casablancas limps out from behind the curtain with her microphone in hand. She has her usual lovely smile on her face as she is dressed in an elegant evening gown to celebrate with Ian. Her music dies down as she stays by the curtain~
Brianna: I hate to interrupt the festivities love but I could not help but join in on the grand celebration that you had put together for yourself. Seeing as how you needed help in our House of Mirrors contest and STILL couldn’t win the match along with the fact that you needed me 630ing you through a table to get the match in the first place, I figured you would need a little help in celebrating the right way. Because after all …it was such a HUGE victory for you was it not, pet?
~The fans in attendance boo the very fact that he even has the title after LOSING his match~
Brianna: You should be proud of yourself though. After all of your hardwork, after all of your effort, after all of your perseverance in begging for a handout and politicking to be handed the title …you got EXACTLY what you wanted. You are the holder of a title that means absolutely nothing. There is no legacy behind it; there is only a bloke trying to give himself adoration because he decided to put the word “Incredible” in his name. But it could be worse, couldn’t it? It isn’t like the person that beat you in a House of Mirror’s match and felt so bad for you that she handed you the title out of pity was a one hundred twenty six pound ballerina who is completely new to the business with BARELY two months of experience, right?
~Ian gets even more upset with this insult~
Brianna: Now, I know you are going through this whole “denial” thing and that is aces dear. I am not here to pile you down with the truth and be what you yanks casually refer to as a “buzzkill.” I am here to help you enforce this lie you and your Italian gorilla there keep telling your
selves. Besides, I think with the exception of you two gents, most of the world weighs a champion on the matches they’ve won and the people they have defeated, not the title they hold. But since you insist on embracing this delusion, I am nothing but supportive. In fact, I have prepared a special little performance just for you.
~Suddenly, a stage hand puts a stool behind her and she takes a seat on it~
Brianna: It is from your native land Ian and it goes a little something like this.
~The popular Canadian ANTHEM made popular by the Crash Test Dummies in the 90’s plays over the P.A system and Brianna begins to sing~
Brianna: “Once there was this guy who
~There is a huge reaction when she goes into the EPIC chorus of this GREAT song. Meanwhile, Ian looks more and more upset~
Brianna: “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
~As she sings, many of her fans hold their cell phones up and wave them back and forth~
Brianna:“Once there was this Bird who
~Ian is about to leave the and assault her before the second chorus kicks in~
Brianna:“Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
~But before she can get to the bridge, “King Nothing” by Metallica hits the PA system and the fans get up confused as Roach followed by Slater Kain walk right beside Brianna. Brianna looks to her side and jumps back a bit and looks confused as to why he is out here~
Slater Kain: Brianna, our concern is not with you, so move aside and let the big boys handle things!
~Brianna gets a little offended as Slater and Roach turn their attention to the Family in the ring as Ian and Mario are pissed off from all the unexpected celebrations and singing from Brianna~
Ian: Just what in the hell are you doing here, Roach?
Slater Kain: Before all this nonsense with this chick over here began, I believe you were about to issue an open challenge for your Central Championship, correct?
~Ian begins to shake his head no as he grabs his title from around his waist and hoists it up in the air and starts screaming “it’s mine” over and over again. Roach grabs the microphone from Slater~
Roach: Well too late now, motherfucker!
~Roach drops the mic as the crowd explodes and Roach rushes to the ring. He slides in and goes for a clothesline from hell but Mario and Ian escape the ring before Roach can reach them and goes through the crowd to another area backstage as the crowd boos their cowardice. Roach grabs another microphone~
Roach: Don’t you hide Ian! I know you’ve got a match later… that gold is mine!
~Suddenly, there is some giggling to Roach’s side, he looks over and Brianna is trying to get up with microphone in hand ...instead she just sits indian style~
Brianna: Isn’t this interesting? Despite what happened last Sunday, a challenger disregards the fact that the current champion didn’t actually win the title on his own merit and instead challenges for the title anyway. This is, of course, evident that neither of you really care about what a title represents or its prestige or even the validity of the bloke currently holding it. All of that is completely overwritten for the sake of an object.
~Brianna gets up and dusts herself and looks at roach. She stumbles backwards just a little bit before continuing~
Brianna: Mr. Roachington, being the fellow intellectual that you are, may I have you consider this scenario instead: wouldn’t it have made more sense to come out here and not only accuse Mr. Ian of not being a REAL champion but also myself for having given it up? You could have made the claim that NEITHER of us deserve to be in the title picture while you have been dispatching of blokes left and right since way before we arrived. THAT should be why you are out here; THAT should be why you not only challenge him but also challenge myself. Shouldn’t you want to prove yourself above these two people who squandered their big chance at Resurrection? Shouldn’t you want to prove you are better than the two who President Dean hand picked to HEADLINE Resurrection INSTEAD of you. There are just so many more angles you can take this, love. But I do admire your moxy none the less.
~Roach looks at her as if she was making some good points but ready to lay them both out at the same time. Before anyone can say anything else they are interrupted by a voice from behind the curtain~
Dean: Hold on just a minute ALL OF YOU!
~President Dean steps out from behind the curtain with microphone in hand. He looks straight across at Ian Bishop in the ring and then to Roach near him and Brianna just outside of the ring around the marching band she commissioned~
Dean: We wasted enough time with the celebrating someone who didn’t actually win the Central title and the person that gave up and by extension devalued the title having a little skit at Ian’s expense. And Roach, you have been incredibly dominating since you arrived BUT open challenge or no open challenge, I am the one that makes the matches here, sucka.
~He pauses as he gets a pop from the fans ...and Brianna for that matter~
Dean: Now, in a few weeks we are going to have an event called Blackout and I will be blunt with you three ...I am struggling with what to do with the Central title. On one hand, we have a champion who I have EVERY right to strip of the title if I so please due to him being handed the title. Then we have the woman who actually won the title but forfeited it. With her, I have every right to not give her another opportunity ...but knowing you Brianna you would still come in with that wide smile on your face and take on every comer with the same enthusiasm. So that really isn’t a punishment for you. Besides, as messed up as this situation is ...Ian Vs. Brianna tested huge with our fans and clearly is a major draw and money earner for us. It would be stupid of me not to support that rivalry by stripping Ian of the title and demoting Brianna. SO ...the Central Title match at Blackout 2 WILL feature Brianna Casablancas and Ian Bishop.
~There is another huge pop from the fans as Ian looks annoyed with this revelation. Dean continues~
Dean: HOWEVER ...I can’t in good faith put you against each other one on one without expecting the same result or something worse. Roach ...Dawg …
~He looks over at Roach and Slaiter Kain~
Dean: As I said, you have been dominating for a while now and your match against The Lost Soul was absolutely brutal ...maybe even more brutal than the battle that Ian and Brianna had in the House of Mirrors. Clearly you are one tough bastard. So ...you want your opportunity at the Central title, you are going to get it. Ian, you want to prove you are more than a paper champion? You will have that chance. Brianna? You want to continue this social experiment that you created by making a mockery out of the Central title? You will be able to do so. At Blackout 2, Ian you will defend your Central title against Brianna Casablancas and Roach.
~Ian doesn’t look too happy with having to defend his title against two people. Brianna looks content with that decision while Roach seems VERY pleased. As the fans chair this huge match, Dean continues~
Dean: BUT ...that is a few weeks away. And seeing that we are running with a tag team theme this month, I think the fans would like to see you guys in tag team action NEXT week. Ian, I want to see how you work with someone that isn’t your buddy Mario. Roach, I want to see if you can team with the Central champion without destroying him. Next week, it will be Roach and Ian Bishop Vs. …
~He looks towards Brianna~
Dean: Brianna and ….
~He pauses for effect~
Dean: a partner of her choosing.
~He then stares directly at Brianna Casablancas seriously~
Dean: Now these fans might love you ...and I personally think you are very talented ...but you and I both know that most of the boys in the back do not feel the same way about you. If you CANNOT find a partner against them, you will face them in a handi-cap match.
~Brianna doesn’t really seem to have a problem with this either. He looks around at the mess that is a bunch of failed celebrations at ringside~
Dean: Now clean this crap up so we can continue on with this actual wrestling show …..SUCKA!
~Dean walks off into the back while Ian and Mario strategize with eachother. Roach meanwhile stares a hole through Ian Bishop and Brianna Casablancas is socially with the fans at ringside~
Smith: Wow, Hood! What an announcement!
Hood: I know, next week, folks…get ready…it’s gonna be huge.
Smith: I can barely wait!
Hood: Perfectly Marvelous will officially be inducted into the OCW Hall of Fame!
Smith: Hey, wait a minute
Hood: What, are you saying I’m fucking lying?
Smith: No, it’s just, I was referring to the OTHER big news, you know…that epic tag match and the Central Championship Match at Black Out 2?
Hood: All cool shit as well.
Smith: Well, folks, we were slated to begin things tonight with a matchup between Dallas Steele and Steve Martyn FOLLOWED by a Rain taking on Ryan Hurlock…unfortunately, some alterations have been made…let’s take you to a video clip showing what went down earlier this afternoon.
~We cut backstage into Dean’s bathroom office for the week. He looks around at the shiny urinals, open showers and full scale lockers. He looks around, proudly~
Dean: Now this is what I’m talkin’ bout, Sucka…this is one upscale bathroom. A man can really get some work done in here…
~Dean takes a seat behind his makeshift desk…as he does, Rain and Ryan Hurlock enter. Dean seems confused as to why the two men scheduled to beat the hell out of each other later in the evening would be in his office~
Dean: What the hell?
Ryan Hurlock: Sup, Dean?
~Hurlock places a line of cocaine on his finger and sniffs it, Dean’s eyes widen~
Dean: Seriously? I know we don’t have a strict drug policy, per say but right fucking in front of me?
Rain: Yo, Deano!
~Rain injects a needle of heroin into his arm~
Dean: Is…is that heroin? Aww, c’mon, suckas!
~Rain pulls out a sketchy looking porn magazine…Dean leaps out of his seat~
Dean: Is THAT illegal german porn?
~Rain smiles while beginning to open the pages~
Dean: THAT’S IT! You two suckas are suspended for the evening…get the hell out of the building and think about if illegal german porn is where you want your lives heading, alright?
~Rain and Hurlock exit as Tiami and Jeremy enter seconds after their departure. Dean rolls his eyes~
Dean: All I ask is for a few moments of silence in my office so I can drink coffee and look busy.
~Dean see’s Tiami’s hair is wet and her face is red with anger. Jeremy places his fist down on Dean’s desk~
Dean: Alright, fine…what’s up?
~Jeremy pulls out his iPhone and plays a video for Dean from earlier. Dallas Steele is out in the parking lot drinking a beer with a couple of young college students~
Dallas Steele: And that was the night when I decided that I would no longer pursue my dream of being an astronaut and renaissance painter…instead, I would become a pro wrestler.
~The kids all roll their eyes, feeling as though his story is completely fictional and way over the top. Steele pounds back a beer as the kids finish off their beers and look at each other as if they are ready to get away from him~
Dallas Steele: So, yea, I’ve got this huge title match tonight…pretty much the biggest wrestling match of the year. You guys gonna stick around for it or what?
~The kids all look to the leader of their pack with worried expressions. He speaks up~
Leader Kid: Actually, Austin
Dallas Steele: It’s Dallas.
Leader Kid: Doesn’t matter…listen, we’d love to and all but we’ve got this huge fraternity party to get to…so, good luck tonight.
~The kids all stand up and grab the several boxes of beer sitting around them. Dallas, who had been leaning up against a piece of shit car, straightens up and tries to reason with them~
Dallas Steele: Party? Really? Well, hey, just let me know when and where and I can drop by after my match for a celebration!
Leader Kid: Umm, yea, about that…it’s for members only so, ya know…
~They all walk off with the beer as Dallas stands there hoping to receive an invite to something~
Dallas Steele: Well, okay…but, I’m just sayin…I mean, I bought you guys all this beer and stuff…least you could do is shoot me an address or something…anything? No?
~The kids have completely exited the parking lot with Dallas standing there like an idiot. As most unaware morons would do in this situation, he acts as if nothing happened. He hurls a half drank beer over his shoulder. It shatters and we hear a shriek in the background. Dallas turns to see Tiami covered in what beer was remaining in the glass bottle. Jeremy is standing next to her, with a look of shock on his face~
Dallas Steele: Oh, hey, sorry about that.
~Dallas quickly takes note that both Jeremy and Tiami look as though they could, possibly, still be in college~
Dallas Steele: Hey, you guys wouldn’t happen to know about a big fraternity party going on tonight? I’ve got some friends there and I’ve misplaced the address.

Spoke in generalizations and couldn't beat a woman
But when he finally came to
His much cherished title was handed to him
He said that it was deserved when
He went through the glass so hard”
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”
Wouldn't chase after a title when she it did for the thrill
But when she was finally assaulted
They saw that she was more dangerous than they thought
She couldn't quite explain it
She’d always just done that”
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”
