INTRO: In the wake of the CWF collapse the world of professional wrestling has been shook to the foundation. But in the ashes of the CWF, rises a new force in the world of sports entertainment. A force with combined talent, and multiple personalities from every piece of the CWF. The new look SWF has stepped into the spotlight, and expectations are running high that the SWF can surpass everything the CWF once was. With the deep talent roster, and a creative staff, the SWF is in it's prime before the first show ever hits the air. But with the new talent roster, and all the creative members of the staff....some people can be overlooked. But some stars can only be overlooked for so long, and eventually everyone will have to show certain stars the respect they deserve. With that being said, we look at the very first SWF pay per view telecast...what do we find? 'Superstar' Shawn Storm in a dark match...basically a match not scheduled for the televised portion of the event, but a match that takes place just incase there is some spare time at the end of the event. A match that is taped to fill in the gaps in the time, and a match that disrespects a man the caliber of Shawn Storm. So as we prepare for the official return of the SWF with the Genesis pay per view debut, we anticipate Shawn Storm and Tyger Lilly's thoughts on their disrespectful spots on the card.
The scene opens to the artificial light of "The Strip" in Las Vegas, Nevada. The infamous glow from casino lights, strip clubs, and wedding chapels are unmistakable. The smell of greed and money fill the air no matter where you are in Vegas. But Shawn Storm doesn't find himself there looking for alittle luck on the slots, and he's certainly not there looking for a one nighter. No, Shawn Storm finds himself there spending some quality time with the one and only interest in his life at the moment, Tyger Lilly. But with Shawn only making his second trip to Vegas, Lilly has decided to take him out on the town...and after a long night of sight seeing, Shawn understands the coment, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. However, when we finally catch up to hottest couple in professional wrestling, they are making their way to the limo for the long trip back to Lilly's.
"Baby, this place is amazing. Maybe I should have been spending time with you here more often the I have.", says Storm as he wraps his arm around Lilly. The two walk through the large glass doors and out of the casino. They approach a long white limo together as the driver pulls the door open.
"It's not that great, Shawn, I've been here all my life. With daddy owning half of these buildings, I grew up in places like this" Lilly laughs, "Watch out for that bum, lets get into the car!"
Storm and Lilly get to the car and Shawn lets her step in first, "After you baby." Lilly slides into the car and Shawn follows. The driver closes the door behind him. Storm turns his attention to Lilly, "Your used to all this, and I'm used to the beaches and night life in Miami. Seems like we'll be alright vacation in each others hometowns. But if your used to Vegas, then maybe you should move to Miami with me permanently."
"Permanently?" She asks as her eyes light up.
"Yeah, permanently. No more traveling here or there, and staying for a few weeks. How about you move in with me?" Storm winks to Lilly.
"Well," Lilly pauses for a moment, "I need to make sure Katie is ok, before I make the move, but it sounds like a great idea."
The driver of the limo pulls open the drivers door and takes a seat in the car. "Take us back to Lilly's place, and take your time." Storm orders the driver. Shawn then pauses and closes the window seperating the driver from their conversation. "Baby, if everything is ok and you want to make the move then we'll make it work. Maybe after this hectic week we can get you moved in, and you can get used to living on south beach." Storm says never letting his eyes stray from hers.
Lilly blushes slightly as she smiles. "Shawn, I never thought," she pauses, "I never thought I could be loyal again. There's something that you do that weakens me." They pass a wedding chapel on the corner as two people walk out dressed as Elvis and Dolly and climb into a car that says "Just Married" Lilly looks over and smiles, looking into Shawns eyes.
Shawn stares back at Lilly, a small grin crosses his face before speaking, "I don't think you know how much you mean to me, and one of these days I know I'll be able to call you my wife."
Lilly blushes and smiles big. "You dont mean that," she says. "I'm not loveable."
Shawn wraps his arm around Lilly and pulls her close to him. He gives her a sweet kiss and tells her, "No one is more lovable then you babe. If you wasn't so cute, beautiful, sexy, smart, intelligant, and loveable then you wouldn't have this control over me."
"Well Shawn," Lilly says as she lays her head on his shoulder, "If I didnt have you, I don't know what I'd do. I've made mistakes in the past, I dont want to make them again. I love you.You've really changed me."
"I have given you all my heart Lilly, and all my trust. You mean the world to me, and nothing makes me happier then traveling with you, and spending my life with you. Everyone makes mistakes, but you have to learn from them. Your past is just that, your past. Just as my past is my past, and I don't live in the past. I live in the present and future, and this is what I see in my future." Shawn pleads, as he squeezes Lilly tight and rubs her shoulder. "But before we get all teary eyed, I have to know if your ready for the trip to Dallas at the end of the week. First SWF event after the collapse of the SCW and CWF. A big night for you, and a slap in the face for me...but a fresh debut in a famailar place." Shawn says trying to focus on the week ahead.
Lilly looks disappointed and saddened. "Shawn, I don't think I like this company." she says. "I think we need to back out of a contract before we go and commit ourselves. It just isn't the same as SCW. We were loyal to them, but things here are different. A different feeling and everything. I just don't know."
"I know what you mean. Back in the SCW I was preparing for title matches against Chris Madison and Ice Kold. I was in the finals of the SCW Tag Team Championship tournament with the Wicked Jester. Now just over a week later, the whole organization crumbles and the SWF rises from the ashes. But here your thrown into a match so Lucas Knight can grope you, and I'm slapped in the face with a disrespectful dark match." Shawn banters. "It's just not the same, but we are committed to Genesis. So we should probaly show up, and after the event make a decision on where we belong as a couple." Shawn says with a look of disgust on his face while thinking about the dark match.
"I would have won that title match," Lilly says, "and that was degrading enough,but this is a sissy match! This is below me. And Lucas Knight? I can't say he's a jobber because he's one of the best, but my guess is they have put me in this match to humiliate me. This company has a point to prove Shawn. They don't care about anyone but the "select" few."
"I understand where your coming from, and don't think for a minute that I'll sit in the back and let Lucas Knight put his hands on my woman. But talk about degrading, try coming to terms with that fact that your below the undercard. Try coming to the reality that you've been thrown into a dark match against a nobody named Timmy D. Who in the hell is Timmy D.?" Shawn blasts. "It really gets under my skin that the certain individuals recieve all the attention regardless of talent or inring prestige. Atleast when you win, you'll be beating one of those select few. When I beat down this four foot nothing midget, I haven't done anything but filled a timeslot while the majority of the fans are buying beer and merchandise. It doesn't set well with me that we are being used for the amuzement of those select few. We are better then that, you know it and so do I."
"I'm not about to become the resident jobber," Lilly says. "I've worked too hard to get where I am today, who knows, maybe i can pull this match off and actually start with a good record here. I just think we're being taken for granted and if they don't watch it, I'll walk out that door as quick as I came in." Lilly says. "We're in this together. What you do I do, and vice versa. If they lose you they lose me too."
"I couldn't have said it better myself. We are in this together, but we don't have to look at this situation in a negative way yet. Genesis will tell the story on where we stand, and after the event we'll have to look at what's best for the both of us. But don't think I won't walk out that door by your side baby. It's easy to look at the memo we got with the card. You put on display to be degraded and used, and I'm thrown into a dark match to be ignored. But looking at the positives, we could realistically leave Genesis with two wins and no losses in the SWF. Just because of who we are booked against, it doesn't mean we have been beaten yet." Storm spouts off. "Espically when you look at the dwarf across from my name on the card. Basically my match is like a circus side show. The best unkown in the SWF demolishes one of the little people. I swear it puts me on edge, and it's got me on the verge of telling the SWF where they can shove it."
Lilly laughs. "Hey they said the loser of my match gets spanked but they never said anything about not wearing padding, I think I'll do a Molly Holly and put cushions on my ass." She says pausing, "Seriously though we can joke about it, bitch about it laugh about it, but the true fact is we're unhappy. I think at this point we may have made some wrong choices."
"We may not be happy, but we did sign the contract for Genesis. We didn't get to pick our opponets, and while we may have made the wrong decision in putting our fate in the staff's hands....we have to show up for this one event. After that we will have another decision to make, and if our original was a mistake then we can fix it after Genesis." Shawn smirks. "But rather then look at how shitty this SWF event is going to amount to, I think I know something that could cheer you up. Right after the card was announced, my opponet, let me remind you that he is a midget, cut a promotional video of his own cooking show. Rather then actually cooking, he talked about how he was going to beat me up. Like stomping and punching my ribs, and chopping me off at the legs. This Timmy D. is certainly clever." Storm laughs. "I'm almost shaking right now, if I didn't have you here to hold me I don't know what I would do. Seriously, I'm really concerned that this so called animal will tear me limb from limb at Genesis. Please hold me Lilly."
Lilly laughs. "Another Lu Yen huh?" she asks as she leans in and kisses him. "You have his match, even if it's a dark match, at least you'll have a win under your belt."
Shawn smiles and some of the edge on his attitude vanishes, "Baby, you keep me in check...and you keep me motivated. Sure it's a slap in the face, and it's only a dark match, but your right. A win is a win no matter how you look at it. Wins are what put you on the map in new places as well, so I can only look ahead to the end of this week and scoring my first win in the SWF. Putting myself in the ranks of the unbeaten will definetly garner some hype. But I don't want to stay in the negative tonight. It's a good night....we are going to live together, and we are heading back to your place. Life can't be that bad at the moment."
"It actually couldnt be better," Lilly says smiling. "Oh look!" She points behind her where you can see the main street and all the lights of Las Vegas. "That's one thing I'll miss about this place."
Shawn turns and looks out the back of the limo at the bright lights of Vegas. "You know, we could always put up some tacky lights on the beach at my place to make you feel at home." Shawn says with a arrogant grin. "A couple Live Nudes, and VIP signs in neon. It could really set off the ocean at night."
Lilly laughs. "I think I'll pass on that," she says, "we'll just come visit.I'm never here anyway."
"Do you know how difficult it is going to be for me to get out of bed with you living at our place?" Shawn smiles as he slips that part in.
"As hard as it is for me," she says smiling. "Maybe we should just retire and go live in a nude beach somewhere and never have to get out of bed." Lilly winks at Shawn.
"If anything is going to force me into early retirement, that would have to be it. Seriously, don't tempt me with the idea of us being nude together for the rest of our lives. I'll be sending in my notice of retirement tomorrow if that's the situation." Storm jokes. "I have a hard enough time not taking you right now, or in public. The idea of being able to take you anytime I feel like it may lead to our disappearence from the world of sports entertainment."
"Or adding another baby into our lives," she says pausing. "Hey at least then I can retire." she smirks.
That comment catches Shawn off guard. "Are you serious baby?" Shawn says.
"At the rate we're going," she laughs "We'll have a dozen in a few years. Not that I'm complaining. A family with you, I wouldn't need this business."
Shawn is about to speak when the limo pulls to a stop. He tries to glance out the tinted windows and speaks as he does, "I guess we are finally here babe. If you'll hold that thought we can continue this inside."
The outside light is the only light on as Lilly pushes a button the driveway lights up with lights. She pushes a button and a couple lights come on inside. She sighs as she sees her daughters barbie car sitting on the wrap around porch. Lilly winks at Shawn. "You can hold more than the thought when we go inside," she says as she smirks.
"Don't give me that look, I'll hold more then that thought right here in the limo if you put those kind of ideas in my head." Shawn arrogantly looks Lilly up and down. She steps out of the limo and Shawn quickly follows her. As they start towards the house Shawn rests his hand on Lilly's ass. He gives it a squeeze as they start onto the porch.
She jumps. "Oh!" she says as she unlocks the door, but before she opens it, she turns and gives Shawn a passionate kiss and wraps her arms around him giving him a hug as if she hadn't seen him in a while, "Excuse the mess," she says, "I havent been here in a while." She opens the door to an immaculate place as she shakes her head as if it's horrible. Shawn laughs as Lilly covers his eyes. Pictures of Katie are all over the walls and the end table. On the mantel sits her awards, and memories of all her past accomplishments.
Storm looks the place over and turns his attention back to Lilly. He turns her around to face him. He smiles and gives her a passionate kiss. The embrace together at the door and continue to kiss. Several moments pass by as they hold each other. Storm then picks up Lilly and she wraps her legs around his waist giggling. "Alright baby, it's time to get down to business!" Shawn says as he shoves the door shut with his foot. "I just hope you can handle a all nighter." He says as he begins to carry her he pauses...."Which way to the bedroom?"
Lilly winks and whispers, "Straight back." The two disappear out of sight towards the back of the house. Only some giggling and laughing can be heard as the scene fades to black.
ENDING: It seems like there is some heat between Shawn, Lilly, and the new SWF staff. With the two degrading matches coming up later this week it will be interesting to see how the two prepare for the big night at Genesis. But on top of all that, it seems like Shawn and Lilly are growing closer and closer together. With Lilly now moving in with Shawn, what is the next step in their relationship? Only time will tell how the two debut in the SWF, and how close their relationship will grow together. But at the rapid pace it seems they could be married, with children, and out of the business in no time. However the time is closing until they must leave Las Vegas for Dallas, and quite possibly the next promotional video will give us a better idea on what they really have on their minds when it comes to Lucas Knight and Timmy D. Until then we can only speculate at how serious the couple are when it comes to the SWF, and the direction of the company. So join us next time when we get their opinions from inside Lilly's place, and we'll find out exactly how soon Lilly will be moving to Miami.
