The Whole F'n Scene: Sacramento, California [City Hall]
Sacramento, California... The Sunshine States Capitol and home too many of California's most wealthy and influential people. Arnold Schwarzenager, the newly appointed Governor frequents the buildings and streets of this town as well as the recently eliminated NBA Basketball Team, the Sacramento Kings. The fans attending their Kings Final Post-Season Game in Arco Arena were sadly disapointed and not much action has been through the arena ever since.. until now. That's all about to change as the RW Superstars are headed on a Collision Course to the pay per view event entitled NEW BLOOD. The Cameras come to life as our surroundings look to be that of a grassy field with some steps leading up to a very proffessional type looking building with the words City Hall etched into the stone pillar above, reminding all of those who enter the building, just where they are. The Cameras begin to zoom out as random people in business attire frantically rush to their appointed locations like drones or robots even. That's when an all too familiar face pops into the picture.. right up to the lens of the camera to be exact. Paul Heyman... the former Mastermind behind Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and a man who made quite an impact while in the WWE. Paul has a sinister grin that seems to reach from ear to ear, looking quite overjoyed for some odd reason. The Camera Men pull back so Pauls face isn't the focus of attention anymore.
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Hello everybody out there in TV Land.. Now I'm sure that all of you that are sitting at home watching your television screens right now are thinking and wondering to yourselves.. What the hell is this wacko doing on my television screen? Well it's quite simple really.. if you'll allow me to explain. You see, Paul Heyman.. that's me.. has decided that he has had enough of being screwed with, being tossed around like someones puppet, and enough of being used and abused by the higher power, the Head Honcho,or the "MAN" so to speak. There's no more Eric Bischoffs.. There's no more Vince McMahons. Revolution Wrestling has opened all new doors for me and my new client. [ paul clears his throat ] Because you see, back in the days of Extreme Championship Wrestling I was the man that everyone came to with their problems, I was the Main Man.. the one in charge, the guy that everyone respected, and if they didn't.. well they learned too.. very, very, quickly. And on Sunday June Thirteenth, Two Thousand and Four I.. Paul Heyman, will be on top of the food chain yet again. "
Paul starts walking onto the grassy field, away from the busy sidewalk and making it a point to be different from everyone else.
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Because this Sunday.. Ladies and Gentleman, you are going to be seeing for the first time in Wrestling History.. the most Dominating Alliance to ever grace the squared circle. You will see myself, Paul Heyman.. the man who single handidly created the ECW and brought WWE SmackDown from the Street Gutter, to The Bright Lights. And you will also see the quick feet of one RW Superstar in particular that with my guidance will dominate night after night, week after week, month after month! He is the longest reigning ECW Television Champion to ever hold the belt. You will see.. ROB.. VAN.. DAM! "
Paul walks a couple of feet over to where the grassy field ends and the sidewalk begins again, casually walking up to a nearby car where seated.. no laying inside is none other than RW Superstar, Rob Van Dam! Rob seems to be asleep though with his eyes closed, his feet propped up on the dashboard and both hands behind his head for support. Paul gives us a look of disapointment and than frustration as he starts hitting the top of the car in attempt to wake RVD.
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Wha? Huh.. Who's There? "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Rob, what the hell are you doing?! I thought I made it perfectly clear that we were going to introduce you to your new fans, I thought I did a pretty good job of hyping your arrival in this new federation and this is the thanks I Get? I get you sleeping when you're supposed to be making some grand entrance?! "
Rob Van Dam stretches his arms out and brings his feet down off of the dashboard as he opens the car door, steps out taking in all of the surroundings. The Busy People continue walking by, acting as if they are completely unaware of his or Pauls presence.
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Hey Paul don't worry about it man. Everything is still going according to plan, I mean.. we are in California aren't we? And in just a few short days I'll be wrestling for a whole new company, in a whole new ring. Now tell me Paul, What's there to stress about? "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Stress about?! I'll tell you what there is to stress about Rob. For one, you haven't even officially signed a contract with Revolution Wrestling. And two, you have to beat multiple guys in one night to become Champion, and so far.. you've done nothing but wink at these California Women and listen to your damn Music. And three, we don't even know who your opponents are going to b.. [ paul pauses ] Rob?.. Are you even listening to me? "
Paul stops realizing that Rob isn't even paying attention to him and is in fact smiling at the women getting inside the car behind them. She smiles back at Rob and even does the 'ROB' 'VAN' ' DAM' Taunt with her Thumbs to her Shoulders signifying that she knows who he is. RVD grins as Paul is fuming and Rob turns to look at him finally trying to look innocent as possible.
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " See what I mean! We.. I mean YOU Rob Van Dam, don't even know who your opponent or opponents are going to be at New Blood and already your mind is wandering to places that aren't going to bring home the gold. This is not the partnership that I envisioned.. I knew this was a bad idea. "
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. A Bad Idea? Come on now Paul you know me, when has anything ever been a bad idea whenever I'm around? I'm the one everyone comes to see because face it.. when you've got Everyone's Favorite Superstar that's me.. 'ROB' 'VAN' ' DAM' by your side Everything, and I do mean everything, is Cool. That RW Elite Heavyweight Title Belt is the last of my worries right now. Sure it would look good around my shoulder or waist, but I'll just let it all flow.. if it comes, it comes. But If I have to wrestle the entire roster in one night hey, that's cool with me.. 'cause either way you look at it their going to be calling me Mr. SUNDAY Night after New Blood. "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Well that's the Extreme Rob Van Dam I remember. Taking on all challengers, and not held down by the iron fist of a one sided wrestling franchise.. forced to wrestle tag matches with the likes of Kane and Booker T. This is a whole new playing field Rob.. you and I are going to turn the RW, UPSIDE DOWN!! "
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Yeah that sounds cool, but what were you saying about not signing a RW contract yet? I thought you were going tot ake care of that, what am I bringing you along with me for Paul if not to handle all that paperwork, you know I'm bad with numbers.. unless it's Four-Twenty. [ rvd laughs ] Nah but seriously Paul, what's the deal with that? am I cleared to wrestle? I'm itching to get my boots on and deliver some Five Star Ass Kickings. Please tell me I'm cleared to wrestle.. "
Paul can't really seem to make eye contact with Rob, getting a bit nervous now.
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Paul.. "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Okay Okay.. I was afraid! "
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Afraid? Afraid of what? "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Well you see.. I went into the RW Headquarters early on, trying to find out who was in charge before everyone else.. I thought maybe that could give us some sort of advantage, don't ask me why. But all I found was that freak Goldust sitting in the supposed RW Executives chair, and Rob.. he came onto me before I could even begin to talk about hiring you. "
For a moment neither man speaks until Rob finally breaks the silence.
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Whoa.. That's not cool. "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " No it wasn't cool at all Rob, not one bit. But than you know what is even crazier? That IS our Boss Rob. Dustin Rhodes, a-k-a Goldust is the owner of Revolution Wrestling.. "
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Well good Job Paul, you might be pretty useful after all. "
'Mr. Extreme' Paul Heyman: " Good Job? But I didn't even do anything yet! are you going crazy on me Rob? "
'1 OF A KIND' Rob Van Dam: " Oh but you did do something Paul. You might be the RW Commisioners Boytoy and I'll be the next RW Elite Heavyweight Champion. See, it all works out. "
Rob pats Paul on the back in support as Pauls face begins to turn white just imagining the thought.
