[The scene switches to backstage, back in the office of Ed Walker.
The phone rings and Walker picks it up eagerly.]
Walker: Yes? Okay, send him in� as
requested.
[Seconds pass and the office door is opened. In walks NomaD, who
frowns and steps up to Walker's desk.]
NomaD: You wanted to see me?
Walker: Yes, NomaD, I did, I do. Take a
seat.
NomaD: I'd rather stand.
Walker: Fair enough. You'll like my news,
NomaD. You'll like it a lot. You see, I had a visitor earlier. Troy
Knight. He came to me with an idea.
NomaD: Yeah, I saw. Being bumped up to the
permanent roster ain't a bad thing, you know?
Walker: Indeed, that is what I realise. So�
I have made the decision to bump up another temporary wrestler to our
permanent register� You.
[NomaD detects the suspicion in the President's tone. He remains
motionless and backs out of the room slowly.]
NomaD: That's good news� thanks.
[With a huge smile on his face, Ed Walker sits back and relaxes.]
Walker: Not a problem, NomaD� not a problem
at all�
NomaD: Next week....I'm taking on The
Jeopardizer for the Xtreme Title.
Walker: That's correct.
NomaD: I could use a little, let's just say
insurance....now I know you don't like the "WMD" and just think if
they can't even claim to have a title within their ranks, then surely
they will be nothing.
Walker: I like your thinking, you can sure
that I will arrange something.
NomaD: Thank you Mr.Walker. Also, can you
book that new kid I bumped into...what's his name?
Walker: Zach?
Nomad: Yeah that's the one, can you book him
against Rodney Ferno for next week?
Walker: No problem, now if you'll excuse me
I have some insurance business to attend to.
[Walker stands and ushers NomaD to the door, the two men shake
hands and we cut back to Sully and JP who both look perplexed by
Walker's antics.]
JP: Huh? Why would Ed Walker go from being
forced into the idea to pushing it happily?
Sully: I have no idea, but the man's a
genius!
JP: Hmm, that's debatable. He's got
something up his sleeve. He's always got something up there.
Sully: You know what they say about those
kind of people� big sleeves!
JP: Ugh�Sullivan! What is it with you
tonight?
Sully: What do you mean?
JP: You're just annoying the hell out of
me....maybe it's just being around each other too much, I mean for
close to three hours last night then I had to sit next to you.
Sully: Yeah, I enjoyed myself to JP.
JP: Well maybe you can redeem
yourself....
Sully: How?
JP: Go backstage and find the MWF's General
Manager and see what he's up to....
Sully: We have staff to do that, Ian
Gonzales, where are you Ian? Someone get Ian on the screen!
JP: Ian's probably enjoying a night off
after last night's busy events.
Sully: Ian gets a night off? And we're back
here again! What the hell is all that about?
JP: You got and complain then!
Sully: Does that involve moving?
JP: Yes!
Sully: Main Event time next JP, you still
foolishly backing the "WMD" to win?
JP: Why do you think it is a foolish
move?
Sully: Because they're weak, everyone knows
that a team without a real champion is of no real force...and you
look at the opposition and they're made up of the MWF World, TV and
Tag Team Champions!
JP: True, King, Evans and Jones have a lot
of gold between them but they've only just won that gold
recently....Anarkist held the MWF World Title for almost two months,
The Jeopardizer has held the MWF Xtreme Title for quite a while
now.
Sully: Something tells me that after NomaD's
little meeting with the President that the MWF Xtreme Title will be
leaving the "WMD" and they will be nothing, absolutly nothing.
JP: They will still have their
dignity!
Sully: They're a waste of space JP...a
complete waste of space.
JP: I believe we're going backstage right
now to see the MWF's General Manager...
[The camera cuts backstage we are in the office of the MWF's
General Manager, a large bottle of whiskey sits on the desk and there
is a huge smash as a hand grabs the bottle and throws it at the wall,
splintering the bottle into thousands of pieces. The camera zooms out
slightly and we see the MWF's General Manager, red faced and angry
looking at the thousands of pieces.]
Fozzy: Look at it! We are like that, we're
being crushed and you're doing nothing about it....we were made to
look like fools and our dreams were shattered into thousands of tiny
pieces.
Anarkist: I think you need to calm
down...
Fozzy: Calm down! You! You! You! You're
nothing but a loser, you need to learn to give one hundred
percent....but you don't because you're nothing now, nothing.
The Jeopardizer: Come on Fozz, you've had
too much to drink.
Fozzy: I'm as sober as you're fucking
mother, why are you two still here? I thought I sent you away.
Anarkist: We're not going anywhere, we need
you out there tonight with us.
Fozzy: What fucking use am I going to be? I
mean we can't win a bloody match can we...we're the Weapons of Mass
Destruction and yet I think we're imploding.
Anarkist: You're the one who is
imploding!
[Anarkist grabs Fozzy and slams him against the wall, the General
Manager's breath stinks of alcohol and Anarkist coughs as Fozzy
breathes into his face, The Jeopardizer leaps inbetween them.]
The Jeopardizer: Look, come on we're a team,
we don't need all this.
Fozzy: They must think we're a laughing
stock!
Anarkist: Only because of you, you
snivelling bastard...I should never have let you talk me into
this.
The Jeopardizer: Please guys, this isn't
happening, Fozzy lets get you some coffee and Anarkist you need to
cool down.
Anarkist: Cool down? I'm cooler than I've
ever been, thanks to this idiot here...where were you to help me when
Hart Evans was climbing that cage?
Fozzy: I couldn't interfere.
The Jeopardizer: Fozzy's right, how could he
interfere without throwing the whole match into chaos?
Anarkist: Where's Mike?
The Jeopardizer: I don't know!
Anarkist: Where is that hunk of junk Savage,
why the hell did we ever sign him, what were you on Fozzy? I reckon
Savage was all some great plan by Walker to screw us up, and screw us
up it did....he just pisses me right off.
[Anarkist releases Fozz and the MWF's General Manager staggers
back to his feet...The Jeopardizer helpind him but Fozzy pushes The
Jeopardizer away and grabs Anarkist and swings him round so the two
men are face to face.]
Fozzy: You need to sort your ideas! You
think you can just push around the General Manager of the MWF?
Anarkist: I'm not pushing around the manager
of the MWF, I'm pushing around a little bastard who thinks he is
something he is not...you think you own this place but you don't
really.
Fozzy: I own so much, but not everything is
under my command.
Anarkist: Obviously you don't own that much,
or I'd still be the MWF World Champion....but I'm not and do you know
how much that hurts me?
The Jeopardizer: Look Anarkist I know you're
bitter about losing the title, but we can get it back, if we all work
together.
Anarkist: Stop speaking bullshit Jay, we all
know that it's coming to an end, you're going to lose to NomaD next
week and then we'll be absolutly nothing.
The Jeopardizer: Me lose to NomaD? Just
because you lost then that doesn't always mean I'm going to lose, are
you forgetting who helped you win the MWF World Championship in the
first place?
[Anarkist completely ignores The Jeopardizer and instead turns
towards the door.]
Anarkist: Where the hell is Mike
Savage?
The Jeopardizer: I told you, I don't know!
Why are you being like this?
Fozzy: Because he realises he is nothing but
a loser, we should have got rid of you when we got rid of Mark
Rose.
[Anarkist's eyes flare and he spins round and punches the MWF's
General Manager full in the face...Fozzy drops like a stone and The
Jeopardizer scrambles to stop Anarkist doing anymore damage.]
The Jeopardizer: Stop it! For Christ's sake
stop! We're never going to win anything like this....Anarkist just
go.
[The former MWF World Champion looks down at Fozzy who's nose is
bleeding, The Jeopardizer looks up at Anarkist with a face of pure
sadness before Anarkist turns and walks out of the room, leaving the
door swinging. The camera cuts back to a quiet arena, the crowd not
quite believing what they are seeing.]
Sully: I told you...I told you JP, it's the
end, the end of the "WMD".
JP: Anarkist just went crazy, he can't
seriously expect to punch the MWF's General Manager, his own friend
and manager and get away with it.
Sully: The Jeopardizer must be wondering
where the hell it all went wrong, and the "Canadian Connection" must
be roaring with laughter.
JP: I hope Anarkist doesn't get in the ring
tonight, I think he's going to kill someone.
Sully: He's a man possessed, he's almost
back to his old old self...the nearly man who was such a violent
man!
JP: Did you see his reaction to Fozzy
mentioning Mark Rose, Anarkist just smashed him right in the face! I
wouldn't be suprised if Anarkist was suspended from MWF action after
that...
Sully: The Main Event is going to be a
rather one sided match, Fozzy's pretty much out of action and Mike
Savage is a hunk of junk, only The Jeopardizer seems prepared to
fight.
JP: Anarkist might not even show....
Sully: The "WMD" are falling apart, I
thought cracks would have to appear and now they have...and my god
what huge cracks they are.
JP: There is a lot of aggression and anger
in the "WMD" right now and they need to channel that aggression
before it's too late and they find that they're fighting
themselves.
Sully: They're already fighting themselves,
you just saw it for yourself JP!
JP: I doubt Fozzy's going to want to be at
ringside with Anarkist around, the former World Champion has got a
red mist.
Sully: You don't want to be near a big man
like that when he gets angry....and where the hell is Mike
Savage?
JP: The "WMD" really could come to an end
tonight, the combined forces must be grinning from ear to ear as they
see that the "WMD" are imploding on themselves.
Sully: I know I'd be smiling! Sam King must
have been reasonably worried about having to face Anarkist and The
Jeopardizer in a match, but now he must be laughing his head
off...and there is also the fact that behind him he has two of the
best wrestlers in the MWF right now.
JP: We're off backstage again...
[The camera cuts backstage, and we're walking down the
corridor...the camera follwing Troy Knight as he leads his young son
Bobby through the halls of the MWF backstage area.]
Knight: You hungry?
Bobby: Yes daddy, me needs food!
Knight: I think we'll take a trip to the
canteen.
Bobby: Me wants to see big Kidd again, he
was cool!
Knight: Well I'm afraid that....Kidd's
gone.
Bobby: Gone where?
[Knight stops, he takes little Bobby's hand and places it in his
own...Troy kneels down and looks into Bobby's eyes.]
Knight: Kidd had to leave.
Bobby: He was fired wasn't he?
Knight: No! No! Of course not!
[A voice sounds from behind them, a large cough and Troy Knight
turns to see the "Canadian Connection" striding towards him. Bobby
begins to cry and he grabs his father's leg and sobs into it, Troy
smiles as Rick Jones approaches, Rick has a grim look on his face.]
Jones: Would someone please shut that little
tyke up?
Amanda: Aww, come on Rick, he's only a
little lad...you probably just scared him.
Evans: Little brat wasn't scared of you, he
was scared of me, you want to see my scar little boy?
[Bobby looks up and sees Hart Evans' peeling back his t-shirt, but
Troy places his arm on Evan's and Hart stops.]
Evans: You're touching me?
Knight: Don't pollute my son's mind.
Evans: Get your hand off me, you damn
gay.
[Troy Knight's temper loosens and he stands toe to toe with Hart
Evans, Rick Jones looks smug.]
Knight: It's people like you, who destroy
the image of the fine nation of Canada! I once had a very enjoyable
holiday in your country....and then I saw you three and I realised
that actually it's a God forsaken place, no wonder we all despise
you. Look how you treat children! I've seen better in Texas!
Amanda: He's a cute little lad.
Knight: And you! Mrs.Jones, you're nothing
but....but....a.....why haven't you had children yet?
[Amanda seems taken aback by the question, Rick Jones' smug grin
changes to an expression of shock.]
Jones: Troy, I'd watch your words.
[Bobby is crying even louder now as his father roars above the
crying.]
Knight: It's because of you Rick that Kidd
Kidman left the MWF, and because he left then my son is
crying!
Jones: He's probably just hungry.
[Jones digs in his pocket and pulls out a candy bar, he lowers it
to Bobby who licks his lips and takes the bar.]
Knight: Now yet Bobby, you're having dinner
in a moment.
Bobby: Thank you Mr.Jones.
Jones: That's alright little buddy,
remember, Canadian's are man's other best friend.
Knight: Other than dogs.
[Troy Knight turns, after his last comment, dragging Bobby with
him. The last comment was said looking directly at Amanda, who's
mouth drops open. Troy is about to turn the corner when Rick Jones
shouts.]
Jones: Hey Troy, you want to go at it
again?
Knight: I'm not sure I want to see you on
Television anymore than I had to, a Radio title would be far more
suitable for you...or perhaps an Internet title.
Jones: You didn't answer the
question.
[Bobby starts crying again, Troy looks annoyed.]
Knight: I'll let you know.
[Troy and Bobby disappear round the corner as the "Canadian
Connection" walk off down the hall, the camera follows them as they
talk.]
Evans: Ungrateful bastard isn't he, fucking
queer to.
Jones: Let's not judge him Evans, I know
I've said some things but he's a father...I understand they're a
different breed.
Amanda: He said some interesting stuff
honey.
Jones: He's got quite a mouth on him for
such a pretty boy....
Evans: You think he's pretty?
Jones: It's an expression Hart.
Evans: Well we have a job to do tonight, we
can't let Troy Knight complicate matters.
Jones: I'll take care of Troy next week,
this week we have to finally finish off the "WMD" and once we've done
that we will be the most dominant power in the MWF.
Evans: We're the greatest tag team the MWF
has ever seen and now we have the MWF TV Title....and we so very
nearly had the World Championship.
Amanda: You going to be okay tonight
Hart?
Evans: I'm all stitched up, I think Rick
will take most of the action tonight.
Amanda: I want you two to be nice to Sam,
he's a good man....he won fair and square last night.
Jones: He did, I was surprised he didn't
cheat.
Amanda: Maybe it's a new Sam....but tonight
you can't win without him.
Evans: Judging by the states of the "WMD" I
think little Bobby Knight could beat them.
Amanda: Such a cute child.
[The camera cuts away from the "Canadian Connection" and back to
JP and Sully who are in an arena filled with Canadian haters.]
JP: They sure didn't like that here in
Minesota, I don't think the "Canadian Connection" have won themselves
any fans here in Minesota.
Sully: Since when did they need fans to be
successful?
JP: Everyone knows it's a common fact that
the fans can be the difference between defeat and victory.
Sully: Not for the "Connection" they're
slowly but surely conquering the MWF and soon the MWF World
Championship will be theirs.
JP: You think they and Sam can work together
tonight?
Sully: I'd like to think so, don't see why
not....tonight they have a common goal.
JP: What about Troy Knight?
Sully: What about him?
JP: Do you think he could be a factor in
this match, on the side of the "WMD"...he could make an attack
against the "Connection"?
Sully: Only if he has shit for brains, which
sometimes he appears to have, always going on about parrots and
children and men....no wonder he never wins anything.
JP: He's just different that's all, I like
him, has a unique style...rather than the Canadian's rather rash and
harsh style.
Sully: Troy shows compassion, that's why
he'll never get far.
JP: Well the "WMD" won't be shown any
compassion tonight, even though they're morale is low they still have
to try and lift themselves for what should be an amazing
match.
Sully: I can't wait to see exactly what
happens and it appears Walker could get involved, he must be planning
something.
JP: Those big sleeves eh Sully?
Sully: Exactly, he has an infinite amount of
plans going around in that sick brain of his...and with his opposite
number weakened he knows tonight is the time to strike.
JP: What sort of a strike it will be then
only time will tell....but I get the feeling that tonight will change
the face of the MWF forever.
