Sully: I have to agree JP every Superstar
has put their hearts into every match on this special night.
JP: Very true Sully, the passion and
dignity you can just see in their eyes. They love doing this for the fans,
to entertain them and themselves.
Sully: They crave competition right JP?
JP: Right Sully, they thrive on
participating in every match whether big or small it has every meaning in
that environment.
Sully: We have still got the Main Event
still to come.
JP: That�s right Sully as reigning World
Heavyweight Champion Thunder Bull defends for the first time since capturing
the coveted gold from Troy Knight last month against the vile �Anti-Hero�
Gutter Rat.
Sully: I believe the fans are rooting for
Thunder Bull more. He has more support after Gutter Rat�s recent actions
backstage.
JP: Assaulting the President did not bode
well with the fans and there is some sympathy for our boss.
Sully: Though I respect our President I
have to say I have faith in Gutter Rat tonight.
JP: Any particular reason why?
Sully: He�s just crazed and filled up on
hurting somebody and tonight that is Thunder Bull. What better way than hurt
Thunder Bull both physically and mentally. If the proclaimed �Perfector of
Pain� loses that gold after a four-week reign he�ll be in an emotional
state.
JP: I beg to differ Sully. If Thunder
Bull loses he�ll lose like a man but I hope he retains. He has that passion
and desire burning inside of him like we have never seen before. He has gone
from a crisp talker to a man that is living the highlife all in a span of
three months. It would be unfortunate for this saga to end so soon.
Sully: Something up JP?
JP: Yes, I have just had word with
backstage that we are backstage in the lair of Team Elite.
Sully: A Lair?
JP: That�s what they said, apparently
they have totally refurbished their locker room just to suit their
expectations. Take it away guys�
[The sound goes static and cameras
re-illuminate the MaxiTrons backstage and there we stand out of the Team
Elite Locker room. The platelet reads �Team Elite Lair� in bold golden
letters as the Texas fans back in the arena cheer ecstatically for their
World Champion and his famous stable. Smoke flows beneath the door and fills
up in the corridors. One brave camera crewmember is encouraged to open the
door as he does so. The door though opens on it�s own accord, creaking ever
so slightly open. The cameras push through the large framed door and look in
on the red mist forming in the room. There seated in the middle in a circle
is Team Elite members Shiv, Seth Impact and Thunder Bull. The fans uproar in
approval and all three men stand up to greet the camera crew. They turn
around to look up at the poster of Gutter Rat on the wall. Shiv is first to
speak as he holds an ice pack against his shoulder.]
Shiv: Are you ready Thunder Bull?
[Readjusting his World title Thunder Bull
walks over to inspect the poster of Gutter Rat. Thunder Bull�s face turns
from a fake smile to fury and tears the poster off the wall. Thunder Bull
crumples the poster between his fingers and speaks in all seriousness.]
Thunder Bull: You know Gutter Rat has
vowed to take Team Elite down one by one. After me he believes there will be
two left to cripple in the palm of his beastly hands. Yet he does not
consider the quantity of Team Elite. He does not believe how many he must
seek and destroy.
[Both Seth Impact and Shiv look surprised
by Thunder Bull�s reply as Seth Impact is the first to question Thunder
Bull�s words.]
Seth Impact: Explain that again Thunder
Bull, we don�t quite understand.
Thunder Bull: No need to explain again
Seth Impact. It will all unfold tonight. You see Gutter Rat actually thinks
he can get away with all the pain he has caused. All the screwing and
bleeding for me will be brought back to him. His body will be empty by
tonight as a certain man will unleash the demons on the Rat Bastard.
Seth Impact: Certain man? You seem to
have something up your sleeves.
[The �Perfector of Pain� studies his
sleeveless black designed trench coat and smirks. He stares back at Seth
Impact patting him on the shoulder before resuming.]
Thunder Bull: I am not wearing any
sleeves friend.
[Both men laugh as the crowd blare in the
background in full support of Team Elite. Shiv grimaces in agony but still
speaks.]
Shiv: Do we get to know this plan of
yours?
Thunder Bull: It�s too devious to share
Shiv.
Seth Impact: I think I have some idea now
what you mean Thunder Bull.
Thunder Bull: If one man can read me like
a book it�s you Seth.
Seth Impact: I�ve known you too long I
guess.
Thunder Bull: Yeah, it�s like we�ve
remained friends in the Dark Age, the bronze age.
[Again they both laugh at Thunder Bull�s
�sarcasm�. Shiv though looking on confused interrupts.]
Shiv: When do we find out tonight?
Thunder Bull: When the mat hits three.
Shiv: What is that supposed to mean?
Thunder Bull: The best thing about
secrets is when someone remains clueless until the end when that secret is
unraveled.
Shiv: I guess so.
Thunder Bull: Seeing as Gutter Rat loves
hurting others, torturing them and inflicting pain. Maybe it is time to
return the favour.
[All three men agree as the red mist
dissipates slowly. The room has a crucifix standing vertically in the middle
of the floor next to a bowl. The bowl is filled with some red liquid. The
camera crew step back as Thunder Bull speaks to them in a luring tone.]
Thunder Bull: Wouldn�t want to stain that
shirt of yours would we?
[The camera crewmembers look on,
quivering but Thunder Bull laughs holding up his hands in protest.]
Thunder Bull: I�m joking calm down�
Shiv: See our World Champion can be quite
the joker.
[The camera crew regains their composure
and continues filming.]
Thunder Bull: Tonight I will elaborate
this puzzle Gutter Rat that you will never complete in your stay here in the
MwF. Let me tell you a story Gutter Rat about a young boy. This young boy
was full of hope and joy in his childhood. All he ever wanted though was a
family, was to be loved. This young boy found nothing to love but
self-harmony itself. He found it contemporary and continued doing this. This
boy grew up hating life itself and hating everyone he ever met or discussed
with. He always cursed those he faced week in and week out until he came to
oppose someone who was alike him. Same drives, same cold heart and yet same
destiny. But this person already fulfilled his destiny. Do you know who
these characters are? You and me of course Gutter Rat. Though I have
accomplished this World title it is time to do the next best thing. Not hand
this down to someone at the likes of you. But to continue this reign as
being the supreme athlete in the Maximum Wrestling Federation.
Seth Impact: What you are forgetting
Gutter Rat is reality. Reality is all around us and though you might be a
powerhouse that doesn�t mean you can overpower Team Elite as a cohesive
unit.
Shiv: Team Elite conquered all we saw and
those that remain are enemy�s that will fall. Each time we eliminate those
out of the MwF the less we have to deal with. Gutter Rat you are the main
objective in the way of Thunder Bull�s reign and you actually think you can
single handily reduce Team Elite. I pity you Gutter Rat.
[Getting caught up in the moment Shiv
seems angered already. Thunder Bull holds Shiv by the chest, allowing him to
step back and now at the front stands Thunder Bull. His head rises as he
stares at the ceiling pointing upwards. Thunder Bull points at nothing and
nods knowing something is there waiting for him.]
Thunder Bull: You believe up there it is
nonexistent but alas this isn�t true Gutter Rat. I have promised myself one
day I will face those in the sky for the shit they have caused. But first I
have to deal with heedless and petty people like you. Though I share mutual
respect with you Gutter Rat that is as far as it goes. I will kill in large
numbers Gutter Rat and you are next to cross off my hit list. You shall be
eradicated, extinguished tonight Gutter Rat. See this Gutter Rat�
[Thunder Bull undoes his trench coat
buttons, showing off his well built upper body, his muscles bulging out.
Though most catching, Thunder Bull has the same gold watch dangling around
his neck as in one of his previous promotional works. Thunder Bull looks at
the watch as it bleeps automatically. Thunder Bull holds the watch up to the
camera lens as it reads.]
�Dreams Abrogated��
[Yanking the golden watch from around his
neck Thunder Bull throws it on the floor, which hangs around the crucifix
standing in the middle of the room. All three men look down, as the once red
covered room is now all white. Thunder Bull looks up and smiles.]
Thunder Bull: Time is up Gutter Rat, is
it time for lightning to strike twice. Fear the darkness, as you will learn
to fear me! Tonight I gain my retribution! Prepare to be surprised, as
something will be sprung upon your shoulders. Your chance shall be
invalidated, as the ring will be left repulsive. You have been forewarned.
Farewell.
[All three members of Team Elite vacate
the locker room, Shiv and Seth Impact following behind Thunder Bull while
massaging his shoulders. Thunder Bull marches down the hallway with Team
Elite in ascending order. People looking at him and wishing him luck.
Thunder Bull just stares straight at the curtains where the fans give a
thunderous ovation for the World Champion. Thunder Bull reaches the curtains
and stands behind them. He exchanges a hug with both Seth Impact and Shiv as
they leave on Thunder Bull�s command. Thunder Bull jogs on the spot, pacing
back and fourth, determined and compulsive to prove his words as cameras
turn back to the commentary desk of JP and Sully as they voice their
opinions.]
JP:
Whoa... I don't quite know what to say..
Sully: Me neither...
JP: Lets cut to a quick commercial, after the break we will see the
"Biggest" match of the night.
