[i]After Ken Kaze, once again, defeated his opposition, it seems that he has turned into a marked man. For instance, he was first attacked by Frankie Bones at the very first card, then he defeated Brad Knoxvill, was attacked by an unknown, mysterious man known as “SPAZ,” defeated both SPAZ and Epic in the triple threat, extreme match, and later attacked Frankie Bones. After defeating SPAZ and Epic on Tuesday Mayhem, he is now undefeated with a win-loss record of 2-0. Also, he is now the #1 contender for the Extreme championship. Surely Ken has his eyes on that title. For it is only inches away from his grasp. His next step to becoming the Extreme champion, though, is by being one of the six people to win Saturday Showtime’s main event; the 18-man battle royal to enter the Extreme Title, Trick or Treat match at this month’s New True Internet Wrestling Championship’s pay-per view; Halloween Bash 2001. Not only does he has a chance to become the Extreme champion, but either the United States or World Heavy Weight champion as well.
Also, on Showtime, not only will Ken enter the 18-man battle royal to face 17 others; but he must face Frankie Bones earlier that night to advance to round 3 of the World Heavy Weight championship tournament. Recently, we have seen some assaults from the two. The first being when Frankie Bones attacked Ken in the backstage area during the first card and when Ken sprayed some mace into Frankie’s eyes on Tuesday Mayhem. This heated rivalry might go on for a while; or it might just end after this match. Though, the stakes are high in this match; for it is a battle of pride and honor, as well as to become the NTICW World champion. Only one man can advance, though, so someone will be left behind. But, luckily for the two, both men will still advance in tournaments. The winner will continue to go on his journey to become World champion, and the loser will enter the U.S. championship tournament. So really, it’s a win-win situation.
Although, what has made Ken such a mark is his success in such little time. Ken might not had said he was the best, but he surely believes he is [b]ONE[/b] of the best.
With every match Ken wins, his ego increases just a slight bit. Ken is definitely making an impact on the NTICW as well as making a name for himself. He is known all over the world, only because of his GREAT performance he did in his triple threat, extreme match. That is what Ken is known for; his reluctance to use weapons in extreme matches and to use his technical wrestling skills, but only uses them when needed to.[/i]
[color=black]The scene opens up inside of a very, very crowded room, full of people, with all sorts of different ethnic groups. R & B music can be heard playing throughout as the people are going crazy. They are dancing, drinking, eating, and just having a good time. Most of the ladies hardly wear any attire; very short skirts and halter tops. All of the men are dressed very sharply; different variations of tuxedos and dress shoes. It is quite obvious that this is a club. Green, yellow, and red strobe rights reflect off of the bodies’ of the people. Stage smoke makes up a cloud on the dance floor which seems to confiscate the people’s feet. The camera pans around and then fixates on a man sitting down at a bar. He is wearing a set of Platinum Fubu clothing; a gray, jean, Platinum Fubu jacket that has a picture of Fat Albert on the back and gray, baggy, jean, Platinum Fubu pants. On his feet, he wears black, Timberland boots. His shoulder-length, black hair rests on his back as he lays he head down in his folded arms. The man appears to be either resting or sleeping, or maybe just drunk.
The camera shot changes and gets right in front of the man. This man is none other than NTICW’s Resident Moron, Ken Kaze. From the look on his face, it is quite obvious that he has been drinking. Despite the fact that he has been drinking, he doesn’t look [i]too[/i] drunk. While gawking into the crowd of people, he begins to think to himself.
[color=blue][i]~{ Man, I know I’m not drunk, but I feel drunk. Shouldn’t have taken that many shots. But hey, after all, it was a celebration for my victory over Epic and SPAZ }~[/i]
[color=black]All of a sudden, the bartender approaches Ken. The bartender can only be seen from the waist on up. He wears a leather, black, biker vest. On his arms, he is covered in various amount of tattoos. On his chest, he has a tattoo of the devil standing with his pitchfork-type instrument facing downward. He is bald and has a 6 inch, red beard -- just like most bikers have. He has three earrings in his left ear. He looks to be anywhere from 36 to 43 years old. He looks at Ken and begins to speak.
[color=purple]Bartender: Hey kid. What’ll be?
[color=black]Ken is still thinking about his victory over Epic and SPAZ until he finally comes back to reality.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Huh? Oh. Uhmm . . nothing. I think I’m done for the night.
[color=purple]Bartender: Okay then.
[color=black]The bartender saunters away towards some other customers. Ken continues to think about his conquest over SPAZ and Epic.
[color=blue][i]~{ Boy . . I really need to shape up. Drinking isn’t going to help me win this battle royal, nor my match with . . what’s his name? Uhh . . oh yeah; Frankie Bones. Bah~! Frankie Bones should be a cakewalk for heaven’s sakes. This man is such a freaking idiot. He actually believes he has control over me. HA! Then he rambles on about me being a “clumsy ass.” You know, from day one, I have made the wrong impression on the NTICW roster, as well as the NTICW fans. They all think I am some kind of moron; but why? Well, that is simple. Because I’m clumsy. Clumsiness has no effect on your intelligence. None whatsoever. So, why people think I am a moron, I have no clue. But, everyone has an opinion. I think I got back at him on Mayhem though. That jackass got EXACTLY what he deserved; the mace right into face!
I am a dangerous man indeed, but no one can accept that. Why? Again, because of my clumsiness. But, hey, if they want to make asses out of themselves, then so be it. I really could care less.
What I find quite so odd is that, Frankie is the only one focusing on me. Well, that is a good thing for him. He NEEDS to focus on me. But, everyone else fails to do so. And, maybe after I walk into the ring on Showtime, defeat Frankie wwaayy too easily, the 17 others in this battle royal will then realize how much of a force I really am. }~[/i]
[color=black]Ken rises his head up and looks over at the bartender.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Hey, bartender. I’ll take a glass of water.
[color=black]The bartender, who was just leaning against the bar, approaches Ken once more. As he approaches Ken, he looks at him quite oddly.
[color=purple]Bartender: Water? You’ll take a glass of water?
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: I don’t believe I stuttered.
[color=purple]Bartender: Look here son. This here is a bar. We don’t serve water. We serve BEER. Plus, you were just drinking some beer about 30 minutes ago. Now you want water?
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Well, I can’t get drunk because, in a couple of days, I have two matches in the NTICW.
[color=purple]Bartender: Wait . . I know you, man. I know who you are! You’re . . you’re . .
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Yup, go on ahead and say it.
[color=purple]Bartender: KANYON!!
[color=black]Ken rapidly jumps up from the stool he was sitting on and jumps back a little TOO much. He ends up falling backwards straight on his back. The bartender walks around the bar and helps Ken up. Ken quickly jumps back from the bartender, very angry at the bartender’s comment. He clenches his fists shut while staring the bartender down.
[color=purple]Bartender: What’s the matter, man? Wait, wait. I know what can cheer you up. WHO BETTER THAN KAN--
[color=black]Ken abruptly interrupts the bartender.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: I AM NOT KANYON!! YOU IMBECILE!! I AM NONE OTHER THAN NTICW’S SUPERSTAR, #1 CONTENDER FOR THE EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP, AND GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIME . . KEN KAZE!!
[color=black]Ken yells at the top of his lungs. Most of the people continue to go on with what they were doing due to the music blocking out Ken’s voice to their ears. Though, some people stare at Ken absurdly. The bartender turns around and walks back behind the bar. Ken’s eyes are almost bulging out of his head. He looks around at the people who were staring at him. As soon as he locks eyes with a single person, they turn their attention back to what they were doing before. Ken walks back over to the bar and sits back down on the stool. The bartender remains silent as Ken rests his head back onto his arms.
[color=blue][i]~{ What a jackass. Thinking I was Kanyon. I ought to kick the crap out him for mistaking me for such an utter, and complete loser like Kanyon. I mean, I do not resemble Kanyon one bit. I don’t have speech problems like Kanyon, either. Boy, what an idiot he is. Dang! I forgot who was all in the battle royal, too. Man this sucks. I’m half drunk, pissed off, and don’t know who I am facing this Saturday. Just great!
Wait! I think I do have a copy of the card in my pocket. }~[/i]
[color=black]Ken inserts his right hand into the right pocket of his gray, jean, Platinum Fubu jacket. He roams around in the pocket and feels a piece of paper. He pulls the piece of paper out and lays it across the top of the bar. The card reads:
October 27th, 2001
Cleveland Civic Center
Cleveland, Ohio
Second Round Matches:
Drake Maxwell vs. Triple T
Xavier Kannon vs. Ritchie Syxx (Plays in)
The Tormentor vs. AJ Biggs
Zurick vs. "The Sylencer" Jay Sylo
Chris Knight vs. Rich Cannon
Epic vs. Pharaoh
Frankie Bones vs. Ken Kaze
D-Kay vs. Anton The Kid
Main Event:
Battle Royal for placement into the Extreme Title Trick or Treat match.
18 NTICW wrestlers will be placed in the ring. The last six wrestlers will be invited to participate in the match. The winner of the battle royal will start off with a weapon at the Trick or Treat match.
Participants:
Triple T, Ken Kaze, Epic, Marcus Krowell, Mark Estep, The Rush, Asa Fountain, Ritchie Syxx, The Josh, Hessian, Brad Knoxvill, Rich Cannon, D-Kay, Riot, Jay Sylo, Sexual Harassment Panda, Jonathan, and Teddy Silk.
He skims down the list and stops when he sees the main event match. He looks for his name, and he spots it; the second participant in the battle royal. As he reads the name of his opponents, he comments on every one of them.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Ahh, Triple T. I’m guessing they mean that loser, “Totally Tubular” Tom. This man is more concerned about himself than me. Come on, what a total waste of time I have on my hands. He’s too worried about people liking him instead of me beating him Saturday. Man, what a complete dolt.
Lets see here . . who’s next on the list. Well, well, well. If it isn’t my good old buddy, Epic. Man, did I show him up on Mayhem or what? I mean, he completely had the opportunity to win! That jackass who whacked me with a tray really “cleaned my clock.” But, Epic failed to take advantage of it. And, instead, I ended up being the victor. You know, I thought maybe the addition of SPAZ to the match would give me more competition, I guess I was wrong. SPAZ was just too dang easy to whip around. Epic was, well . . wasn’t exactly “Epic” during the match. But, the results were simply . . EPIC!
[color=black]Ken laughs at his little attempt to piss Epic off by copying his catchphrase.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: I’m pretty sure if I can beat him once, I can beat him again! So, Epic just won’t be epic during this match, just as always; especially when you are up against the likes of me!
Now we have Marcus Krowell. First of all, who is this? I have never, ever in my life heard of this man -- or woman! Heck, for all I know, it could probably be a freaking penguin!
Next we have Mark Estep. Enough said.
Then there is The Rush. The Rush. Hmmm, lets see. Who exactly [i]is[/i] this guy?
Ass Fountain? This is the man with the afro? What a total jackass. This man didn’t like the song “Cause I Got High” by Afro Man, or something relatively close to that, then makes up his own version of it, and will now attend court due to copyright infringement. Ha, ha, ha. He’ll probably be in court while the match takes place!
[color=black]Ken chuckles at the fact that Asa Fountain has to attend court due to copyright infringement. He then looks at the next name on the list, and that name reads, “Ritchie Syxx.”
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Ritchie Syxx. Hmmm, who [i]exactly[/i] is this guy, as well? Man, why do I get put into a main event match against a bunch of no-namers?
[color=black]Ken looks up at the bartender who is fixing himself a beer; a Budweiser to be exact. He then asks him a question.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Hey, bartender. Do you know who Ritchie Syxx is?
[color=purple]Bartender: Can’t say I have heard of him.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Thought so. Ahh, crap. Got to go to the bathroom!
[color=black]Ken then folds the piece of paper, containing Saturday Showtime’s card on it, up and places it into his pocket. He hops off of the stool and tries to walk towards the bathroom, but he trips and falls and lands flat on his face. He rotates over onto his back. He looks down at his black, Timberland boots; listening to all of the laughter. He notices that someone tied his shoestrings together. He gets up in an angry rage and begins to thrash about the stool he was recently sitting on. He begins to punch away on the padded, seated part. He then begins to kick at the pole that holds it up; but due to his shoestrings being tied together, he pulls his feet right out from underneath him. This time, he lands on his back. The people continue to laugh. Ken then slips off his boots by his hands. He stands back up and grabs his boots. He cocks his hand back, aims for the machine that produces the beer, and launches it right into it. The boots hardly do any damage whatsoever, but the bartender begins to yell out some vulgar language.
[color=purple]Bartender: YOU SON OF A BITCH!! DON’T YOU EVER, AND I MEAN EVER, THROW YOUR F*CKING BOOTS AT MY GOD DAMNED MACHINE AGAIN!! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!?!
[color=black]Ken looks at the bartender. A grin grows on Ken’s face.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Yes ma’am.
[color=black]The bartender -- enraged by the comment made from Ken -- leaps over the bar and charges toward Ken. Ken then sprints to the bathrooms. Instead of going into the men’s bathroom, being the moron he is, he runs into the ladies’ bathroom. As soon as he enters, screams can be heard. Ken then walks out as toilet paper can be seen being thrown out of the bathroom at Ken. Ken then rushes into the men’s bathroom and the bartender continues to chase Ken. He enters the bathroom after Ken. He stops and looks around for Ken; but all he can see are three closed doors to the bathrooms and two urinals up on the wall. He walks over toward the first closed door and checks underneath the door, looking for Ken’s feet. He sees none and proceeds to the next one. He looks underneath the door; but finds nothing. He continues on to the last closed door and checks underneath the door; finds nothing once again. The bartender turns around and begins to walk toward the door to leave the bathroom. But, before he can even get past the second door, it swings open rapidly and sends the bartender in the opposite direction, crashing into the wall. Ken can be seen hanging from a pole that helps hold the door. Then, all of a sudden, it gives away and Ken drops to the floor. Ken lays on the floor, in a little pain, with the pole on top of him.
Ken then pulls himself up to his feet and sees the unconscious bartender propped up against the wall. He laughs and walks out of the bathroom. As he exits the door, many people begin to point at his feet and laugh at him. Ken stops and looks down. He sees a piece of toilet paper stuck to his sock. He reaches down and pulls it off. He then throws it into a woman’s plate and walks off, back toward the bar. He hops back up on the stool he was sitting in earlier. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the paper which contains a copy of the card on it. He continues to review the card.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Uhhh . . lets see. I believe I was on Ritchie Syxx.
Now, onto The Josh. The Josh? HA! I defeated this man in the PWA with ease. He will definitely not be any trouble in this match.
Then there is Hessian and Brad Knoxvill. Hessian I do not know and Brad was the man I conquered over on Saturday Showtime; my debut match. Boy, was that a piece of cake. And, what difference will he make in this match? None.
Rich Cannon?! Why the hell is Rich in this match. Well, my chances of winning have just increased. I have my tag team partner in this, and we will surely dominate and overpower everybody throughout this match. I mean, come on, Rich wouldn’t never try to eliminate me! I’m his tag partner.
D-Kay Calyx, Riot, and “The Sylencer” Jay Sylo. D-Kay is a man that I have no respect for whatsoever. Nonetheless, he should still be some good competition. But, I have a feeling Rich is going to kick his ass the whole way throughout this match. Then, we have Riot. Riot is someone . . I do not know and will not waste my time on. Here is a man I respect. A man I see a bright future for. Jay Sylo. This huge, monstrous man will definitely leave a mark here in the NTICW. But, I will guarantee that he won’t be walking out the victor of this battle royal.
And last, we have Sexual Harassment Panda, Jonathan, and Teddy Silk; The Job Squad. Why are these guys even in this match? We have some man who thinks he is a panda and doesn’t like sexual harassment. Jonathan is just . . Jonathan. And Teddy Silk is . . . well, Teddy Silk.
[color=black]Ken pauses for a brief moment and then continues.
[color=blue]Ken Kaze: Although the numbers are big, I will still overcome the odds. For I always do. I proved that on Mayhem. And, I guess I must prove that once again. All in all, I am determined to beat Frankie Bones to become one step closer of becoming the NTICW World champion, and determined to win this battle royal to become one step closer of becoming the NTICW Extreme champion. Soon enough, after I eliminate all of my hapless competition, I will prove to everyone that I am not [b]JUST[/b] a clumsy bastard!!
[color=black]Ken folds the paper back up once again and places it back into his pocket. He looks around as the scene fades to black.
