[The camera cuts backstage and we find ourselves sitting with the
MWF President. He's sitting outside, on the kerb in the car park. A
bottle of whiskey is next to him, half drunk....his eyes are blurred
as he turns to look at the camera. His shirt is untucked, his tie
undone around his neck, his blazor flung out next to him. He runs a
hand through his greying hair.]
Walker: It's like the whole world is coming
down on me....
Voice: Often it can seem that way.
[The MWF President turns around and standing behind him is
Katherine MacDougal, legal representative of Eddie Benoit.]
Walker: I didn't expect to see you here
tonight, I thought you'd be with Eddie.
MacDougal: He's quite happy with Misery, I
came to scout some opposition.
Walker: Eddie won't be wrestling for a
while, I wouldn't count on you being able to win.
MacDougal: You doubt my wrestling
ability?
Walker: I always have doubts.
[Walker reaches for the whiskey bottle and takes a swing, gulping
it down and raising his hand to his mouth afterwards.]
MacDougal: Mind if I sit down?
Walker: Unless you're going to file a
lawsuit then feel free.
MacDougal: I think we can put our
differences aside for a while.
[Katherine MacDougal sits down, trying not to crease her skirt.
She takes the whiskey bottle from Walker's hands and takes a sip.
Walker looks surprised.]
MacDougal: What is it illegal for a woman to
drink whiskey now?
Walker: Just didn't see you as a whiskey
drinker that's all....
MacDougal: ....more gin and tonic?
Walker: Yeah, I guess Benoit is having more
of an effect on your than I thought.
MacDougal: He's quite a character.
[Walker tilts his head back, looking up into the heavens.
Katherine MacDougal leans a bit closer....Walker doesn't seem to
notice.]
Walker: It's so quiet tonight, out here
you'd think the world had stopped....but inside that arena it moves
like a whirlwind.
MacDougal: You know Doomsday just lost the
MWF Television Championship.
Walker: Damn....
MacDougal: You're titleless now Ed, nothing
makes "Twisted Vizion" stand out from anyone else except for your
ability and power.
Walker: Wayne and Doomsday shall win the MWF
Tag Team Championships, Shiv won earlier tonight....it's never that
bad.
MacDougal: Your daughter sleeping with your
most trusted friend, now that isn't bad?
[Walker turns towards MacDougal, his eyes flaming...]
Walker: How did you know about that?
MacDougal: Everyone can see it, they've been
getting so close recently. You'd better be careful, or he'll become
the next Anarkist.
Walker: Never, Wayne would never turn
against me.
MacDougal: I'd watch him
carefully....
[Katherine MacDougal slides her hand down the MWF President's leg,
he must be reasonably drunk as he doesn't seem to notice. A figure
can be seen in the distance, out of the shadows a small, blonde woman
is walking towards the figure of the MWF President. The lights reveal
that it is the MWF President's daughter, Laura....her eyes are wide,
tears have made her make up run, she watches in disbelief as
Katherine MacDougal slides her hand up the MWF President's leg.]
Laura: Dad....dad....
[Walker looks up and stands up with a start, Katherine MacDougal
slides her hand quickly away.]
Walker: Honey....
Laura: You, what were you doing with
her?
Walker: Just talking.
Laura: Oh yeah, why was her hand on your
leg?
[Laura spots the whiskey bottle and her eyebrows are raised as the
pitch of her voice rises.]
Laura: Oh dad....
[Laura turns, hiding her face as she sobs miserably. Walker
staggers after her.]
Walker: LAURA! LAURA! HONEY! DON'T WALK AWAY
FROM ME...
[The camera begins to fade as Walker staggers across the car park
after his sobbing daughter.]
JP: Oh dear.....Walker's family and "Twisted
Vizion" appear to be falling apart here on Dynamite.
Sully: It doesn't help that the MWF
President is turning to the bottle, that's not going to help his
judgement.
JP: He's lost his daughters confidence, this
is a new low ebb for "Twisted Vizion", they'll need to win the MWF
Tag Team Championships tonight on Dynamite to bring back some
pride.
Sully: It's up to Wayne and Doomsday, I
can't say Walker is too happy with his MWF Commissioner right
now.
JP: I doubt Wayne and Laura would be doing
anything, it just doesn't seem like Wayne to go behind his boss' back
like that.
Sully: The plot will no doubt thicken and
what about Katherine MacDougal, was that an attempt to seduce the MWF
President?
JP: Wouldn't surprise me if that bitch
wanted a piece of the MWF President to use as blackmail...
Sully: ...or is there more between them than
they realise.
JP: We'll find out after this commercial
break if "Twisted Vizion" can restore a bit of pride to their
name!
