The scene opens at the WWW show. This is of course a tape last from Wednesday when cameras went off. Most wrestling promotions like to give the fans a special treat before they leave, but I don't think what the fans are getting here is a treat for them, but let's go back in time to before the show started.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2002: 6:48 pm

Joe is backstage in his office and The Elite is with him. They are talking about something. Let's listen in.

All right boys, tonight's a big night for The Elite. You all have big matches tonight and I want you to win them. Failure isn't an option. But, I have no doubts that we will come out on top. Doomsday, you are fighting Huntress. I want you to let nothing, and I mean nothing stop you from winning that United States title. Don't take into account she's a woman, hurt her anyway! And if any Deadly Intent, Dark Forces..Hell, if anyone comes out at all, beat the shit out of them. Got me?

Yeah I got you Joe. And I got that US title in the bag. Whoa, it's almost starting time, I hear the pyro goin off. I got a match, see ya.

Doomsday quickly makes his way out the door and heads towards the ring.

JJ, Norton, you boys are the wrecking crew. So I expect you both to do the same tonight. Wreck havoc.

Um Joe I got a question.

Yeah what is it?

I'm not complaning, because I've been getting some good matches thrown my way, but when am I going to get to bring a title to The Elite? I mean Doomsday's fighting for the US title right now, and Norton's the current BTC champ.

Yes I know. JJ, I'll be giving you a shot soon don't worry. I'm just waiting for the right title and the right moment. You got something to take care of before you do get any title shots. Tonight, you fight Creeper, who has challenged me to a match at DOA. Funny thing is, it's the same style of match you face him in here tonight. Hell in a Cell. I want you to beat him and hurt him of course. But do not, finish him off. That's my job. I am going to teach that little piece of shit not to mess with me at DOA.

Yeah I'll let him live. But I am going to beat him, and hurt him.

Works for me. I got a special surprise planned for him after the match is over anyway.

JJ leaves to go get ready and only Norton and Joe are left in the room.

And finally you Norton, you got Lil Roach. I don't fight him, and I don't see him as important. So, go out there, retain the BTC title, and just have fun with him. And you know what have fun means for us. Rip him apart. Think you can handle that?

Norton looks over at Joe menacingly before giving a wicked grin.

Yeah. I can handle it.

Norton gets up and leaves and Joe is along for about 40 seconds. Doomsday bursts the door open back in.

What happened did Huntress forfeit?

Nope.

Did she even show up?

Yep. I just beat her.

You're kidding right, that was only about 2 minutes!

Well it must have took a shorter time than that, I managed to manhandle Dawg and Avenger after the match was over.

I knew you were strong but that's just crazy. Well, you got the US belt now anyway. Give it here and I'll get it polished up for you....

The scene fades, and we open back up at a new time! Yippee time travel!

8:37 pm

Joe is backstage near the entrance watching the JJ/Creeper match on a monitor. He sees JJ get the win, then slowly makes his way to ringside to a horde of boos from the audience. He grabs a chair in the ring and as Creeper begins to stand, Joe smashes the chair over his head. As JJ holds the legs of Creeper, Joe climbs up top and nails the One Step Closer. He spits on Creeper and JJ and Joe head up the ramp, talking.

Oh man Joe we really got Creeper today. Did ya see me just hit him the the Fuck-U and pin him? Oh man it was so cool.

Yeah, Arm's got no chance against you at DOA. You are gonna run through him like a hot knife through butter.

Joe and JJ arrive backstage where Norton and Doomsday are cheering and applauding what happened.

Yeah you guys really took it to Creeper out there, congrats on the victory JJ.

JJ pulls out a cigarette and takes a long drag.

Like there was every any doubt?

There wasn't. Just like there isn't any doubts about this next Wednesday. The Elite is going to run wild throughout the entire PPV. But speaking of Elite business, Norton, you got Lil Roach...wait a minute..

Joe looks over at the monitor to see a Darkrebel promo talking about his return.

Haha, looks like we got another martyr boys! Or actually he'll just get a repeat of last week if he even dares to step back into my ring.

No doubt he's going to want to fight us.

Let him I could care less. He's never beat me once, and he never will. Anyway like I was saying, Norton you take out Lil Roach tonight. I think after the main event is over I'm gonna give a little promo to Creeper. But right now, I got some business to take care of. I gotta make some match announcements.

The scene fades as Joe goes to give Dawg a message about matches at PPV.

9:13 pm

The scene opens just after the main event and everyone is out of the ring..Joe's new theme song, "Ride of your Life" by Neurotica blasts over the speakers, and just when the fans think the show is over, they are greeted by our president! But, he is booed. Let's hear what he has to say?

Hello Manchester! How are you?

You can hear fans cheering for the obvious cheap pop, but most are still booing.

Oh hey guys you're judging me before you know me! I happen to be a big fan of England's wrestlers.

Once again a mixed reaction.

I mean, look at the great wrestlers to come out of England. There's..William Regal, Dynamite Kid, and two very great late wrestlers, Chris Adams and Davey Boy Smith

At the mention of the Bulldog the crowd erupts in cheers.

Now if you think I'm going to go the traditional heel route and say something bad dishonoring Davey Boy's memory, you're wrong. Davey Boy Smith was a great wrestler and a great human being from what I am told. I never knew him personally. But enough about sad memories. What about those great LIVING England wrestlers! What about guys like, Norton!

Fans here in Manchester boo the mention of Norton because of his history with his father and his current ICW allegences.

Ah just like I thought. You'll cheer when I mention deceased wrestlers, who when they were living were hasbeens anyway, but when I mention a living great wrestler, becoming a legend in his own right, you boo the hell out of me and him.

At this comment the fans starting chanting "Joey sucks"

Yeah you chant "Joey sucks" all you want. I can be just as disrespectful and hateful as you people no doubt. I'd take all my agression out on you guys, but..well, I'm not. I have better things to do. Like film a promo to my DOA opponent, Creeper.

The fans go from booing Joe, to cheering for Creeper. Joe laughs at this as a "Creeper" chant breaks out.

Can you guys answer me a question? How in the hell can you cheer someone like that? The guy is from Wisconsin, does drugs and is a rapper! What the hell is wrong with you people to cheer someone like Creeper, who it's obvious he has no class?! He's 6'8, 289. He's taller than I, but yet I took him down right in this arena with one chair shot. Perhaps I can bring up your history again. Remember Inferno? That guy took nearly 20 chair shots to the skull! And he's just as big as Creeper.

The fans boo even louder as they are not fans of Inferno obviously.

Dispite that, I went up top..to that turnbuckle right there...lept off nailing that g-dogg with the One Step Closer. And this was after he lost the very match he's challenging me to. Hell in a Cell. Now I'm not going to take any credit from JJ, he's a great wrestler. But jeez, what is Creeper thinking, if he challenges me to a HITC match? I mean, I'm 10x better than JJ, I'm a freaking legend. Actually, to steal Larry Zybsko's nickname, I am the Living Legend. I am the wrestling legend. I am an active wrestler, and unlike most guys, like Hogan and Flair, I can actually wrestle! I can actually move around the ring! And it's amazing how people like Creeper can challenge me to matches which they know they are going to lose.

Now many people may listen to this and say, Joe...you have lost the last two matches you've wrestled in here in ICW! Yes, I believe I did. I lost to Armageddon and Gladiator. But then again, where are the people that beat me now? Armageddon is getting older by the day, trying to hold on to his late BTW career as Taker by reopening Dark Forces, and let's face it. DF and BTW are dead as far as I'm concerned. Taker is dead. Armageddon is dying but he doesn't realize it. He's been beaten down weeks in a row by The Elite, and he is going to lose to the Elite twice in one night next week. One to JJ Crawford, and then he loses in the Cage of Rage Stable Trophy match. And where is Gladiator? He beat me then I fired him after he walked out. I mean, I know Stone Cold was a great wreslter and all, but Gladiator just really wanted to be like him. He walked out on ICW, so I fucking fired him. And his career isn't going anywhere fast.

Now back to Creeper. Creeper, in a way this is a must win for both of us. For me, because let's face it, I'm not losing to a jobber such as yourself. That would just hurt my image. And it's a must win for you, because you just came off a loss and you need to get back in the run of things. Plus you need to get over your horrible stints as Herb Gotti and Rave, cuz let's face it, those were some pretty dumb characters. You've always said Creeper is more like you, Greg Cairns, and well, I've already said what I thought about that.

I saw your promo, I watched it backstage. You filmed it right after your match from the looks of it, I mean, you were still bleeding. Anyway, you attacked an ICW Offcial. Let me ask you something, what is that supposed to prove? Are you a tough guy because you can beat up untrained staff workers. He was probably on his way delivering paperwork to someone. You know what you proved to me? You must be very rich. Why is this? Well, you have to pay for that mans medical bill and whatever he else he wants. You are fined $5,000! Haha, that'll teach you won't it. And if it won't, I will.

Creeper, I know you just fought JJ and all, but while you're trying to make challenges and threats towards him, I'm going to be kicking your ass from one side of the cell to the other. While you're thinking of getting that rematch, I'm going to be jumping off the top turnbuckle, like I did earlier tonight, hitting you with the One Step Closer, and, oh get this, it's the best part, pinning you for the three count. I know you should have some exception thrown your way, I mean you do have a fucked up head do to lighting up the bong too much, and that's understandable. Creeper, you have no chance in beating me, but if you even want to get a small advantage you'd better lay off the dope and focus on this match.

Yes I did promise you a World title shot if you won didn't I. Funny, not in a funny haha way but a funny, ironic kind of way. You see, It's an empty promise. It is an empty promise because you arent' going to get close to the World title. You aren't going to get close to a pinfall on me. You aren't going to get a victory on me. So therefore, you can kiss any hopes of a World title shot goodbye. Maybe you should have not challenged me, you could have been placed in the gauntlet match. But hey, tough shit.

You say that you're going to kick my ass? You, kick my ass?

Joe begins laughing and he collapses to that mat pounding the canvas having a laughing fit. The fans are laughing too, probably because Joe is putting on a funny show and not because of the same thing Joe is laughing at. He gets up with a grin and puts the mic back to his lips.

Creeper...you couldn't kick anyone's ass. Especially not mine! I mean, I doubt you'll even touch me in this. I am just going to beat the shit out of you, and well, that's the whole story. You say you're going to make me bleed, you know what, being in a Hell in a Cell match and there are obviously going to be weapons involved, it's a given that I am going to bleed. There really isn't any doubt on that one. But crying in pain? I've never cried in pain from anyone. I thought I've talked about this before, I'm one of the toughest sons of bitches in the wrestling world. To get me to cry in pain you'd have to like, I dont know, sever a limb or something, that'd probably make me cry..maybe.

Now the rest of your promo, you threaten the gauntlet match winner, and the World Championship match winner. Funny. You really need to get your head out of the clouds. And when I say get your head out of the clouds, I mean it. And also keep your clouds away from me. ICW is having staff and wrestler drug tests in two weeks. Creeper, I'm going to end this promo on a good note by giving the fans here in Manchester a great catchphrase. Creeper, you are going to lose to me, and I'm going to win! Why? Because I'm Joe Cool and I can!

Joe tosses the mic up in the air and as it falls he punches it sending it crashing to the mat with a thud. He looks into the camera and says, "This one's for you Creeper", and flips off the camera. The scene fades..
