Scene: Xtreme Pro Wrestling Event - San Diego, California Time: Saturday, 2.14.04 - 5:58 PM Next Match: @ Redemption Vs. Rob Van Dam [MAIN EVENT - Non Title / Singles Match]
[|. xwf .|] MR. MAIN EVENT... will it be Rob Van Dam or Randy Orton to win that claim this Saturday Night on Redemption, where the title isn't on the line but The Champion is being tested as well as a man who has come into the XWF with a hot streak that could also come to an abrupt end. No, the title will not be on the line but it might as well be if you're Randy Orton.. a man who is being watched very closely by foe and friend (more the latter) and will continually have something to prove all the way up until WrestleMania according to him. But if any man can defeat the odds it might as well be Randy Orton.. he's got the look, he's got the style and in-ring ability and now he walks into Redemption with his head held high and certainly not afraid of some XWF Newbie by the name of Rob Van Dam with a measly 2-0 Match Record. RVD isn't a Contender for The World Title, nor will he ever be.. Rob Van Dam is destined for a chance.. just one chance, at Tag Team Gold IF he makes it to Wrestlemania. But before all of that Rob Van Dam has the chance to pickup a hell of alott've steam with a win over the XWF World Champion. And Non-Title or not it would be a huge Victory for any man, especially a relative newcomer like Rob Van Dam to defeat The Current Champ. But on the other side of the table is a man who cannot afford to lose even if his beloved belt isn't even on the line.. for Randy Orton, every match from here to his very important Title Defense at Gravity and beyond is one of Extreme Importance. For Randy Orton, losing is not acceptable and this match with Rob Van Dam might as well have the belt on the line.
" Reminiscence [2] "
pros·pect (pros'pekt) n. A candidate deemed likely to succeed.
Prospektive: The Cameras are focused on the outside of an Arena Complex somewhere in Downtown San Diego. The Sign out front reads "Xtreme Pro Wrestling Event - LIVE! Tonight" as the cameras begin to zoom in closer to the low rate arena.. an arena that The XWF would never be caught dead holding an event like Redemption in, but for the low rate XPW it will have to suffice. But now that the differences beetween The XWF and The XPWs Checking Accounts is cleared up, we've just got to figure out just what the hell it is that an XWF Camera Crew is doing at an XPW Event. What reason do they have?.. as the Cameras get closer the scene changes entirely and now we seem to be in a room that looks to be an office of some type, with a stack of paper placed on the desk a man with Long Black Hair and a Black Goatee looks to be waiting for someone. That man is none other than Rob Black, The Chairmen CEO of The XPW.. and the Stack of Paper placed directly in front of him looks to be an XPW Contract and before we can get a better, closer look at it, there's a knock at the door.
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " Come In.. "
Prospektive: The Door slowly opens as The Cameras take a couple of seconds to change from their shot of Rob Black to the door where the person Rob was expecting finally arrives through. Walking into the locker room/office is none other than... Randy Orton?! Things are getting stranger and stranger by the minute! What the hell is Randy Orton doing in the office of XPW Owner Rob Black?!
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " I'm glad to see that you are here and that you are serious about this proposition of mine I have had on the table for quite some time now Mr. Orton.. you drive a very hard bargain indeed. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well you've got to understand.. I've got alot going on for me at the moment in The XWF. Doing a thing like this takes alot of thinking and decision making.. but I'm here and I have finally made my decision. And after careful consideration Rob, I know now what it is that I came here to do. "
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " Excellent.. so all you have to do now is just sign on the dotted line and you and I can talk real business.. like title shots and sticking it to the competition like the XWF. You think you did good there, you are going to rule the XPW my boy! Vince McMahon is going to cower before me as he.. "
Prospektive: Randy cuts Rob Black off before he can finish as we realize that Randy Orton is who that XPW Contract is intended for. It can't be.. Randy Orton is turning his back on the XWF for the XPW? What the hell is Randy Orton thinking, he's The Champion for crying out loud! Randy is just seconds away from signing it, he's got a pen in hand! No Randy, don't do it!
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Yeah Yeah.. that's all fine and dandy Rob but I'm not here to sign that contract. In fact, I'm not even here to negotiate any kind of business deal with the likes of you. You honestly think that an XWF Champions the likes of me would actually leave a great company like the XWF for some hole in the wall like XPW? You have got to be joking me. "
Prospektive: all of the mans hopes and dreams seem to have just gone right down the drain so to speak as Randy pushes the contract away dropping the pen and stretching his arms showing signs of some boredom. Rob Black thinks of what Randy just said for a couple of seconds stroking his goatee.
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " So let me get this straight Mr. Orton.. Randy.. you came here not to sign an XPW Contract, but to do what exactly?.. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well certainly you didn't think I was actually going to sign a contract with you did you? No Rob, I'm here because Redemption is in San Diego tonight, not too far from here and I thought maybe I'd stop by and say hello to a certain someone. But he wasn't man enough to show, so here I am in your office. I'm The Xtreme Wrestling Federation Champion Rob, what reason would I possibly have to defect to a Wrestling Franchise that is ten times worse? Sure you may have a little more of the T and A than The XWF has but you don't have the starpower or the money power that Vince McMahon does. All The XPW is to me is a cheap ripoff of ECW, just without the fans.. [ randy laughs] No Rob my man, I came here so that your entire Roster can have the privelage of laying eyes on a true champion.. a true athlete. "
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " Is that so? Well I think I've got more than a handful of my guys who would like nothing more than to agree to disagree with you Randy. Don't get me wrong.. ECW was a great addition to the Wrestling World, but comparing The XPW to the ECW, well in a way it's an honor, but at the same time the XPW is entirely different. Some guys would like to shake your hand for making that comment I'm sure, But unfortunately that man is not me. you see Randy I'm a man of business and when a business deal like this doesn't go the way I like it I tend to get angry.. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Of course.. but you've got to see things from my Prospective here Rob. How could you possibly think that a man in my place would actually even consider something like joining an inferior promotion like you've got here in the XPW. Why don't you try out your luck on some other guys like Rob Van Dam or some other worthless piece of crap on the XWF Roster. I'm sure that Rob wouldn't mind coming to the XPW, he's used to wrestling for minimum wage and under extremely unhealthy conditions. I actually think Rob Van Dam would do much much better here in the XPW than he'll ever do in the XWF, especially after he loses such a big match this Sunday Night to me. "
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " Yes well think what you may Randy, but as I said before I am almost certain that a handful of my guys would love to disagree with you about the XPW/ECW situation. Hell, I even got a couple guys who were in the ECW on my roster who I know would disagree with the things you have said. But you don't want to sign the contract, that's fine I can't force you.. but maybe I will talk with Rob, afterall he is the bigger superstar out of the bunch. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Oh yeah most definately.. I mean, if being a "Bigger Superstar" means knowing when the other man is better (that man being me) than sure, Rob Van Dam is Bigger. Because when Rob Van Dam finally realizes that the XWF is nothing like his cake walks like ECW, nEw, etcetra, etcetra.. than Rob will finally become a true man. But you see Rob Van Dam can't do such a thing. Rob, jsut like you is caught back in time, trying to hold onto something that is no longer there and that nobody gives a damn about anymore. Rob Van Dam is nothing but a poor excuse for a wrestler, he should stick to his day job.. laying on his lazy ass at home smoking pot and baking cookies for his boyfriend Bill Alfonso. "
'XPW Founder' Rob Black: " Well you may be the big man on campus in the XWF Randy but this is the XPW and you're in my backyard now. But as far as you and I are concerned I don't think we have anything left to talk about.. you don't want to do business with me than that's fine. Just be careful on your way out to the parking lot would ya'.. wouldn't want one of my Superstars injuring the competitions leading man now would we.. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Is that a threat Rob? are you threatening me? That may just be the last threat that you make pal, and I welcome any of your Former ECW Wrestlers gone XPW to just try and take me on, I'm not The XWF World Champion for nothing Rob my man. And I figure all of those ECW Wrestlers are all the same, Rob Van Dam, Raven, Steven Richards, the list goes on. But the fact of the matter is Rob, I didn't come here to sign some XPW Contract.. it's bad enough to got guys going from ECW to here, that's like going from one bad thing to a worse thing. And this Sunday Night I'm going from the best, to EVEN BETTER after I beat this supposed "up and comer" to the XWF. So make sure you're watching Rob, maybe you can call RVD up after he's all done crying and try to get him to joinup. I'm sure he'll want to get as far away from the XWF as possible after I absolutely embarass him. "
Prospektive: Randy stands up as Rob Black is staring a hole straight through him. Randy leaves the office shutting the door and turns around to find Misses XPW herself, Lizzy Borden standing in his way.
'XPW Diva' Lizzy Borden: " Well look who it is, if it isn't Mr. XWF Heavyweight Champion himself.. [ she smiles] Just the Man I've been waiting for. How did your little "chat" with you and Rob go?.. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Just fine thanks.. [ randy pauses] Have you been waiting for me this entire time? You know I'm sorry to disapoint Babe, but I'm afraid I've got somewhere else to be and someone else to see so maybe next time huh? "
Prospektive: Randy starts to walk away from her but Lizzy cuts him off putting her hands on his chest and stopping him before he can go any further. She looks up at Randy with a sad look in her eyes, almost pouting.
'XPW Diva' Lizzy Borden: " But Randy Baby, where are you off to in such a hurry? Surely you can spare a little of your time for little ol'e Lizzy now? Pwease.. [ steps closer] My, you have such nice.. big.. muscles.. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Yeah, so I've been told.. But sorry Liz, The Champ has some important business to take care of before Redemption tonight. Wich is just down the block in the much bigger and more expensive arena that only a company like the XWF can afford. Maybe you could stop by and watch me kick the hell out of Rob Van Dam tonight in our match.. if you're not too busy hanging around in this dump. "
'XPW Diva' Lizzy Borden: " Now wait just a minute.. let me get this straight. You're turning me down Mr. World Champ? You're turning me down for some XPW-Wannabe Federation?! Randy, you're making a Big Mistake.. I'm Lizzy Fucking Borden! You must be insane to want to walk away from a Hot.. Sexy.. Stunning, Once in a Lifetime Opportunity Like This. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Listen uh Lizzy.. it's nothing against you but I just turned down a contract offer from your boss and I think it's safe to say he isn't very happy about it, and I trust the guy about as far as I can throw him if you catch my drift. So I guess you could say that I am turning you down.. But if it's action you want why don't you come to Redemption and watch me get one night closer to Gravity and my first Title Defense.. than we can talk. Until than I really have to go, I'm Sorry. "
'XPW Diva' Lizzy Borden: " Awwwwww well someone sure is no fun.. you can't just stay for a little longer, just for little Lizzy boo boo? I promise to make it worth your while.. "
Prospektive: Lizzy steps closer to Randy making it impossible for him to step any further without moving her with force. She smiles seductively at Randy, every now and than glancing around to see if anyone is nearby. Randy seems to be doing the same as well, looking over her shoulder.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " You know Liz, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to distract me from going somewhere.. But I really have to get going, I have a match tonight and I can't be late. "
'XPW Diva' Lizzy Borden: " Yeah Yeah I know.. you've got your "Big Match" with Rob Van Dam, but I don't think you're going to be making it to your match tonight Randy baby, I'm Sorry. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " And how exactly are you going to go about stopping me little lady? You know, you're lucky Sable isn't here or things would be getting pretty ugly right about now. But I really have to go Liz, talk to you another time maybe. "
Prospektive: Lizzy steps aside letting Randy pass as she smiles at him almost checking him out as he walks off down the hallway. But all of the sudden out of no where the peace is broken as a nearby locker room door swings open and someone steps out and attacks Randy from behind.. it's SABU! Former ECW Wrestler gone XPW, what the hell is he doing attacking Randy Orton?! Sabu yells out something untranslatable as Lizzy looks on a ways down the hall with an evil grin on her face. She set Randy up! Rob Black has sent Sabu after Randy in an attempt to take him out! The XWF Champ is back on the offensive though as he rams Sabus head right into the concrete wall, grabs him by the back of his pants and tosses him straight through the door he came out of before. But Sabu is one Hardcore son've bitch and he's right back on his feet taking the fight to The Champ. The two exchange some fists and a couple of left and rights before Randy knees Sabu right in the gut and Sabu exhales as all of the wind is knocked out of him, RKO! RKO! RKO! Randy just nailed Sabu with the RKO right in the middle of the hallway on the cold concrete and Sabus head makes a sickening thud as he lays there lifeless and Randy gets up dusting himself off with a huge grin on his face.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Send my regards to your boss and your friend Rob would ya?.. "
Prospektive: Randy leans down talking trash and yelling into Sabus ear as if he can hear him.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE CHAMP! "
Randy walks off down the hall in a hurry trying to get the hell out of the arena before Sabus Roster Buddies find out what has happened. Lizzy rushes over to Sabu to check on him as the cameras fade to black and Randy Orton adds the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal Sabu, Former ECW Superstar and Rob Van Dams Former Tag Team Partner and Longtime Friend to his hitlist. What will happen on Redemption?! [|. xwf .|]
