~We cut backstage to Sid Buckley. He’s dressed to impress. And by impress I mean to get laid and possibly paid. Gary is scratching where his arm used to be~
Sid Buckley III: Can you stop that, please? We’ve got about 15% capacity out there for tonight’s big announcement. Biggest crowd of 2026.
Gary: Sorry. I’m so excited, Sid. This is Gary.
Sid Buckley III: I know who it is you’re sitting right in front of me.
Gary: Sorry, again. Social media is quite immersive.
~Awkward pause~
Gary: Did Kieran King ever sign the contract?
Sid Buckley III: Not yet. But he did provide a soft commit to defending the OCW Title against a worthy challenger.
Gary: Hell yea!
Sid Buckley III: Just waiting on some documentation from his legal team. I decided it would be a good idea to let him pick the challenger. Only fair after what he went through to win title.
Gary: Yes. Top stars in pro wrestling. Death pyramid. Demons from other dimensions. Lemon Sharks.
Sid Buckley III: Exactly.
Gary: So who are we looking at?
Sid Buckley III: Got a list of ten.
~Gary looks at the list~
Gary: WOW! We’ve really knocked it out of the park, haven’t we, Sid?
Sid Buckley III: I have, Gary. As for you...well, there’s nothing wrong with a seeing eye single.
Gary: Just call me Ichiro.
Sid Buckley III: I will not.
~The fax machine kicks up~
Gary: That sound brings back memories.
Sid Buckley III: We should probably get more up-to-date equipment.
~A paper shoots out~
Sid Buckley III: Here we go! Let’s find out who Kieran King will face at our first PPV event of 2026!
~Sid reads~
Gary: So excited…
~Sid reads~
Gary: Oh my gosh the suspense is killing me!
~Sid reads~
Gary: Who is it, Sid? WHO??
~Sid sighs and hands the paper over to Gary~
To Whom It May Concern,
Mr. King received your offer. He mulled it over and has reached a decision. He chooses nobody. Nobody on the list or in the world of professional wrestling is worthy of challenging him for the OCW Title.
As way of background, Mrs. Vhodka Black did not defend the title for two years. It is the professional belief of Mr. King and his team that this has set a precedent insofar as his earliest scheduled defence could reasonably be no sooner than 2028 unless otherwise agreed to by Mr. King and sans contractual discrepancies.
It is the belief that contractual issues arose in Mr. King’s acquisition of the OCW Title. OCW’s own records show that Mr. King had to survive 20+ wrestlers, a number that exceeded what was originally promised, to win the OCW Title. Mr. King had to survive demons, TRIAD magic, and a potential career threatening injury to win the OCW Title.
Mr. King recognises the professional responsibility that comes as champion, however, he does not feel it’s ethical or professionally acceptable to just hand someone a shot at his OCW Title. Mr. King has decided that since he had to go through a pyramid to win the title, so should these ten names. They should have to run a gauntlet of sorts to figure out who, of the ten, is most worthy.
The process by which this contender is determined is in your hands. At its conclusion, Mr. King will decide whether or not it meets the lofty standards set by the Greatest Wrestler Alive and the OCW Title he now holds.
If a suitable contender is found, Mr. King hereby makes a commitment to engage in genuine attempts at scheduling a wrestling match in 2028, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Kieran King’s Legal Counsel.
