At global TV, the gfwa OMEGA Commissioner fell into another New Dynasty trap. Bronx and Brooklyn tried once again to take out The Butcher to keep their reign atop the federation stronger than ever. Their plan seemed to have worked as The Butcher was injured and could not wrestle to his ability in the main event. The trap also worked on another level because Cody and Tomorrow Man had to witness the brutal beating. The hatred between A Tendency 2 Start Fires and The Manhattan Project is evident and will boil to the next Pay-Per-View where all hell will break lose. Only one team will come out on top and we all know each team will try their best to survive.
-|- Global TV has concluded and Cody and Tomorrow Man are in their locker room getting their things together to leave. The Butcher walks in with a slight limp and a small smile through the pain. As Tomorrow Man finishes placing his things in his bag, The Butcher takes a seat on a chair to take a load off. He lays his injured leg on the bench in front of him and leans back with his hands rested on the back of his head. Tomorrow Man takes a seat on the bench as Cody places an elbow pad in his bag, almost not recognizing that his friend has entered the room. -|-
Tomorrow Man: How�s the leg?
The Butcher: The trainer said I have a deep bruise and that I should stay off my feet for a few days so it can heal itself.
Tomorrow Man: And I thought you were retired.
The Butcher: I am.
-|- Tomorrow Man shakes his head in disbelief. -|-
Tomorrow Man: I don�t know how you do it.
The Butcher: Do what?
Tomorrow Man: Everything. Getting your ass kicked backstage, then getting into the ring visibly injured only to get your ass kicked again. And on top of that you joke about it later. I�ll never understand you mentality.
-|- The Butcher gives a small shrug because he doesn�t know how to answer his friend�s question. The whole concept doesn�t baffle him though. Wrestling is his life and without it he would cease to exist. Wrestling and the fans control half of his heart while Nikki controls the other half. Without one half he�d be nothing like he�s been for 19 of his 20 years of wrestling. When she came into his life everything came together. True, she is gone but he knows she�ll be back soon and even if she doesn�t he will still love her. He feels that if right now he were to die, he�d die a happy man. There is nothing more to accomplish it seems. He won the GFWA World Championship and almost died plenty of times trying. In the end, he won the heart of a nice girl and his fans. There is nothing more for him and that is why he goes out there every night, retired or not, getting his ass kicked because it is his life. -|-
Cody: I can just smell those Tag Team Titles now.
-|- Tomorrow Man stands up in a hurry with an angered look on his face. He looks at Cody sternly and begins to spew his thoughts out of his mouth. -|-
Tomorrow Man: And where were you when Butch got taken apart? Huh?
Cody: In the ring, why?
Tomorrow Man: Why didn�t you help?!
Cody: That stupid contract said I couldn�t. If I did we�d lose our shot at the straps.
Tomorrow Man: Cody, some things are greater than title shots and titles themselves! Fine, you couldn�t help save him but you could have at least helped me take him to the back!
-|- Tomorrow Man grabs his bag and leaves the room in anger. The Butcher tries not to laugh as he stretches his arms. -|-
Cody: What�s up with him?
-|- The Butcher shrugs his shoulders. -|-
Cody: Come on, lets get out of here. Can you see if Denise Lopez is out there looking for me?
The Butcher: Sure.
-|- The Butcher gets up and limps over to the door. He opens it slowly and pokes his head out to look around. There isn�t a single person in the hallway so he pops his head back in. -|-
The Butcher: It�s all clear. You know, I used to have a thing for Denise but I found out she was just a complete lunatic with no head on her shoulders. As soon as she found out that I didn�t want her anymore she all of a sudden wanted me. Women!
Cody: Yeah, women. So, how did you get her off your back?
The Butcher: Well, she started to leave me alone as soon as she found out I was going out with Nikki. I guess Nikki�s rage scared her to death.
Cody: Yeah. Nikki�s great.
-|- The Butcher and Cody leave the locker room and start to make their way to the parking garage. Cody has this smirk on his face since The Butcher just gave him an idea. He would share the idea with Butch but he�s sure that he won�t like it at all. -|-
Rainy Day
-|- A day has passed and global TV does not seem so far away. The actions taken by Bronx and Brooklyn will have a tremendous effect on what occurs this month of December. Cody and Tomorrow Man don�t know how they will get back at them for what they have done, but they will get revenge in the end. The Butcher has returned to his Harlem home in hopes that Nikki will return in a few days while Cody and Tomorrow Man took the initiative of staying in New Hampshire until global TV. It was Tomorrow Man�s idea to go there but Cody didn�t want to go, saying that there is nothing to do in New Hampshire. They sit in their motel room full of boredom as a rain storm passes by. Cody fills the time by bouncing a ball off the wall, possibly pissing off the neighbors, while Tomorrow Man continues to fiddle around with the television antenna because of the bad reception. -|-
Tomorrow Man: Damn television! Work already!
-|- Cody quits bouncing the ball and walks over to the television set as Tomorrow Man gives up screwing around with it. Cody shifts the antenna ears a little to the right and gets great reception. Tomorrow Man stands there in awe because he messed around with the thing for at least a good thirty minutes but it only took Cody a few seconds to get the situation figured out. -|-
Tomorrow Man: How did you do that?
-|- Cody shrugs his shoulders and continues to bounce the ball off the wall. Tomorrow Man takes a seat on the bed and flips through the very few channels they have. Nothing on. Tomorrow Man shuts the television off and throws the remote control onto the pillow in anger. Just then there is a knock at the door. Tomorrow Man gets up as he calms down and answers the door. On the other side, a man is standing there in the pouring rain with an enraged expression on his face. -|-
Man: Yeah, I�m from next door. Could you please stop bouncing crap off the walls!
-|- He walks away, mumbling to himself, and Tomorrow Man shuts the door. Cody stops bouncing the ball off the wall. -|-
Tomorrow Man: Next time you answer the door.
Cody: There is nothing to do around here. I told you we shouldn�t come. Now we get to waste a whole week doing nothing. I�m not complaining about the weather either. Even if it was as sunny as California we wouldn�t find a damn thing to do around here. I�ve never been so bored in my life!
-|- Cody bounces the ball off the wall again, completely forgetting about the angered man next door. Cody makes a face that reads �oops� as he catches the ball. On the other side of the wall the annoyed man punches the wall in anger and yells out words that can�t be made out. -|-
Cody: I cannot wait until Sunday.
Tomorrow Man: Cause that�s when we leave?
Cody: No. We get to beat the hell out of Ricky Green and Tyler Hendrix. I swear, Ricky Green is the most pointless member of the gfwa OMEGA roster. He�s been here forever and yet the Front Office keeps signing him. He shows no promise and he continues to be the biggest jerk off of all time.
Tomorrow Man: What do you mean?
Cody: Every time I turn around he�s kissing someone�s ass because he has no talent whatsoever. He knows this too. I mean just look at what he does. He gets a chance in the spotlight and to become the GHC Champion and what does he do? He pisses on the chance. He thinks everything needs to be fed to him like he�s a 2 month old baby. And when he doesn�t get his way, what does he do?
Tomorrow Man: Um�cry?
Cody: He runs more than he cries. He�s a 2 month old baby that can�t feed itself but can run. Amazing isn�t it? Then when he comes back he kisses the asses of people like Bronx and Brooklyn until they let him join their little buddy system. I swear, the man bounces around from faction to faction and they all go defunct cause they don�t have the talent to win under pressure. He�s the weakest link of this duo we have to face.
-|- Then there�s a crackle of thunder over head, showing that this storm will never end. -|-
Tomorrow Man: But Tyler Hendrix is different though.
Cody: Really? How is he any different?
Tomorrow Man: He�s OWA�s version of �Live Wire� Sean Casey. He�s got the talent to take him anywhere.
Cody: Wrong! Tyler Hendrix is a Sean Casey want-to-be. He�s like a Puerto Rican guy dressed up as Elvis performing in Vegas. Get what I�m saying?
-|- Tomorrow Man shakes his head cause really doesn�t understand how Elvis and a Puerto Rican have anything to do with Tyler Hendrix. -|-
Cody: Casey is the king! He was a GFWA World Champion. A Lightweight Champion as few times as well. I know he�s held more gold but I just don�t have the time to name it all. Tyler Hendrix is nothing compared to him. Casey has class while Hendrix can�t win a match on his own. He�s a pathetic wrestler. Now, he does possess some talent but it isn�t wrestling talent. How could anybody mark out to this guy? How could anybody look forward to watching him wrestle? He can�t win without his New Dynasty buddies. That�s why I�ve got an Ace card up my sleeve just in case we get screwed out of our match.
Tomorrow Man: What�s the plan?
Cody: All in good time, T-Man. All in good time�
-|- With that Cody bounces the ball off the wall again with a smirk, obviously trying to piss off the neighbor. From next door there is a bunch of crashing and bouncing around because the guy probably snapped. It doesn�t matter to Cody, though, for he�s got a plan and that�s all that matters to him. The scene fades out as Cody continues to bounce the ball off the wall while Tomorrow Man covers his ears so he doesn�t have to listen to the man next door. -|-
