v/o: Tonight we celebrate a genius, a friend, a brother. We honor him by pouring our blood, sweat, and tears. We respect him by showing the world we are his creation at heart. Steven W. Pagano, you are missed brother. We cherish the memories, and celebrate your work every day of our lives. Through us, you live on. Rest In Peace.
[The bell tolls three times. the WWA logo flashes across the screen along with the PWW, WCCW, and HCW logos. The Pagano Cup logo bursts through. You can hear the crowd cheering as we fade up. We pan the arena till we reach the announce table where Joe Pediceno and Joel Warner are sitting ready to start the show.]
Pediceno: LADIES AND GENTLEMENT!!! WELCOME!!! WE ARE LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!!! AND THIS IS THE STEVEN W. PAGANO MEMORIAL CUP!!!
Warner: WOOOOOO!!!! HELL YA!!! LAS VEGAS!!! WHAT HAPPENS HERE STAYS HERE!!!
Pediceno: Joel, don't.
Warner: What? I didn't do anything.
Pediceno: I know you well enough to know you were about to say something stupid.
Warner: Oh ya like what?
Pediceno: I don't know but it probably would have had something to do with a girl and a donkey, or the Bunny Ranch.
[Joels face lights up bright with a smile a mile long.]
Warner: I knew you loved me.
[Joel leans over lovingly towards Joe.]
Pediceno: Oh would you get off me!
Warner: Fine then be that way.
Pediceno: Jesus, again welcome to the Steven W. Pagano Memorial Cup. We have a long night ahead of us and it starts with Justin Dawes against Megalord.
Warner: Two WCCW talents takin on each other in the first round of the Pagano Cup. My question is can Justin be the first man to go through the tournament and win.
Pediceno: Thats a great point Joel. Justin is the only former winner of the Pagano Cup, even moving on to winning the WCCW Southwest Heavyweight Championship back when it was a WCCW tournament. But Megalord isn't anyone to play with.
Warner: Ya, he's a big monster.
Pediceno: Our second match...wait a second. I'm being told to move on.
Warner: Move on? What they don't want us to talk about the rest of the first round.
Pediceno: Well I'm told that we will see matches featuring SCW's Lucian Frost, PWW Western States Heritage Champion Jonathan Talon, WCCW Texas Heavyweight Champion Secret Enforcer, 4CW Southwest Champion Jason Cashe, 4CW star Stefan Raab, OCW's Kenshin Takamura, Chris Fury, 4CW's David Dean Trenton, SCW's Derek Thorne, and Dan Benson. But we are to move on.
Warner: Move on....ok. Well after the first round we got what?
Pediceno: We have Michael Hardy against Scooter Myers.
Warner: Oh ya, and Raymond has been on SUCH a roll lately. Losing the CSW title to Annabelle Tulio and all.
Pediceno: Yes, Scooter has had some downs as of late and his New Tradition brothers are not very happy with him. He has been told to win or he is out.
Warner: Oh I know whats after the second round.
Pediceno: Then why don't you go ahead.
Warner: Annabelle Tulio and Mayer Tulio team up in a intergender match against the legendary tag team of Viper and Weapon X.
Pediceno: Thats right, Hardkore Warriors are taking on the young Tulio's in a bit of a respect match that our Director of Operations signed on the last PWW event. Seeing what Mayer did during the match between Annabelle and Viper, he did what he thought was right. Scheduling a match between himself and his wife agaisnt the Tulios. But then of course we have the finals of the Pagano Cup, and the World Tag Team Championship match.
Warner: Oh I can't wait for that. New Tradition, Triple C, and BoL in a three way for the titles. I can't wait to see that!!
Pediceno: Then of course we have our World Heavyweight Championship match as "The Mental Rapist" Sean Jackson takes on the winner of the Pagano Cup.
Warner: Honestly how many times in history have you see anyone go through a tournament like this and then go on to win the World title.
Pediceno: You can't count anyone out though Joel, remember a few years ago when Jason Jousma did that very thing in the Lou Thesz Cup over in the NWA. It's not impossible to do.
Warner: Ya true, and some of these guys I think may be even better than Jousma was.
Pediceno: Ha, don't let him hear you say that. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen its time!!
[The lights in the arena shut down, leaving the crowd in the dark, as bright flashes start to burst through out, acting as it were streaks of lighting. A dark crimson color light illuminates the entrance area as a thick mist rolls across the entrance ramp.]
Warner: Or maybe its not time...
[A hush falls over the arena as the crimson mist pours off the entrance ramp and into the crowd. Without warning, crimson colored lights explode throughout the arena. A video explodes on the screen as you can see the letters slowly fade in, until it forms "The Mental Rapist".]
[Behind the letters, clips of Sean Jackson in the ring over the years comes to life on the video wall above the entrance way. Soon a very familiar theme begins to play.]
[That being the opening notes of "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.]
v/o: "Can you feel it coming? In the air, tonight?"
[As soon as the voice over ends, you hear the voice of Phil Collins start up with...]
"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord"
[Through the crimson mist, a ring of fire can now be seen as the fans can see two people rising up from the floor, Sean Jackson and Vanessa. Jackson is motionless while Vanessa stands bladed, her curves showing up beautifully against the backdrop. Once both have risen like a phoenix from its ashes, they step out of the ring of fire. Jackson is focused, his face adorned with a serious look while Vanessa runs her hands down the curves of her body and to her hips.]
"Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord."
[A slight smile forms on Sean's face as he looks out into the sea of darkness that has enveloped the fans in the arena. He then motions to his Vietnamese darkling that it's time to head to the ring.]
[Sean and Vanessa begin the slow walk down to the ring as the crimson spot lights glisten off of Vanessa's dark vietnamese skin and cast a pale reflection on Jackson. Vanessa wearing a low cut blood red dress with a long slit showing off her well toned legs and cleavege while Jackson has the WWA World Heavyweight Title fastened around his waist, the NWA World Heavyweight Title draped over his shoulder and is dressed in a three piece Armani suit courtesy of the fat contract he signed with the WWA.]
[As soon as they enter the ring, a spotlight bathes Sean Jackson as he is takes to the turnbuckles and slowly climbs up. As he sets foot on the middle turnbuckle, the ring is surrounded in falling pyro on all sides of the rings as he raises the title belt high, much to the approval of a clapping Vanessa. Jackson then hops down off the turnbuckle and leans against the ropes. As the pyro dies out, the lights come back on, returning the light to the arena. At that moment Sean is handed a house mic and as the buzz of boos and cheers erupt through the arena, he raises the mic to his mouth]
Jackson: "Finally, after weeks of talking, it's time for someone back there in the locker room to either put up, or shut up. As far as I'm concerned, the time for talking has ended and now, someone back there in the back is going to have to back up everything that they've ever said."
As Sean is talking, he begins to pace back and forth as Vanessa follows him with her eyes, not saying a word.
Jackson: "Someone back there is going to have to prove that they have what it takes, to cash a check that their mouths have been writing since day one. But not only just trying to cash that check, but just trying to survive a man who's on a mission. A mission to draw out a coward by the name of Jason Jousma."
Oh yes, no matter what Jason Jousma may think tonight, as far as Sean Jackson is concerned, this fued is far from over.
Jackson: "But I know to draw out Jousma, I've got to defeat whomever comes out of the tournament. So in case you aren't familiar with the concept, here is where I show each and every competitor back there why they don't stand a snowballs chance in hell of beating me."
Inhale.exhale
Jackson: "First off, here in a few moments, you will have Justin Dawes and Megalord coming out here to see who will be the first to advance to the second round. Now then, Justin Dawes. You and I go back a few years don't we? The two of us were members of New Tradition weren't we? You remember New Tradition right? Where we were supposed to have each others backs, remember? But something happened didn't it? while I was in the ring back in May of 2010, getting my knee completely destroyed by Jason Jousma...."
Pay attention people, this was the incident that started in motion the whole storyline that Sean Jackson is on now.
Jackson: "The rest of you New Tradition guys were nowhere to be found. Not only were you nowhere to be found, but at no time did any of you even bother to see how I was, or if I needed anything. No, you guys just acted like nothing ever happened and went on with your merry lives as if I never existed. Well now, here we are at the Pagano Cup and I'm sure that you have visions of bringing home the world title to New Tradition. But unfortunately for you, as hard as it was for you guys to even acknowledge I existed after my injury, I'm going to make it equally hard for you to walk out with my world title. Matter of fact, you'll be lucky to walk out at all if you ever try to take away MY title."
Inhale.exhale
Jackson: "Which goes for you too Megalord. Now granted, you're a big guy with a lot of talent. But understand this, you're a big guy who will make a lot of noise when you hit the canvas. Matter of fact, all that big body does is give me a much larger target area when I decide to crack your skull open with the high knee. So as far as I'm concerned, you can just do yourself a favor and not even dream of making it to the final. Because if you step into the ring with me Megalord, I won't be responsible for my actions. Any of them."
Sean once again goes back to pacing back and forth. He does so for good reason as he begins to speak about a fellow Sin City and WCCW competitor.
Jackson: "Lucian Frost. We go way back and although I have a bit of respect for you, there's no way that I'm going to just sit back and watch as you attempt to take away something that belongs to me. Now granted I give you all the respect in the world because at 170 pounds, it takes a lot of guts to climb into the ring. But Lucian, if you make it to the final against me, I'm not going to look at it as being a 170 pound cruiserweight. I'm going to look at you as just another guy who wants to take away something that I've earned, and you WILL be treated accordingly. Sin City or no Sin City."
Slight pause.
Jackson: "Which leads me to you David Dean Trenton. I see how your fellow 4CW competitor is in Jason Cashe, which will be addressed in a few moments, but for right now I will be addressing you."
There is something about Sean's demeanor when addressing the individuals from 4CW. Maybe it was the over confidence spewed by Cashe, maybe it was the silence from Trenton. Whatever the case, both came from opposite ends of the spectrum and there was no happy medium.
Jackson: "Tonight, you first have to get through a man who is a great competitor in Lucian Frost. I have seen him in World Class and I have seen him in Sin City, and I can honestly say that he isn't someone to be taken lightly...."
The smile returns.
Jackson: "By someone like you. For you see David, Lucian may be in Sin City Wrestling, but he's definitely capable of giving you a match. But do understand DDT, if you do happen to luck your way past Lucian, it won't get any easier. And the reason is because as I've stated numerous times already, I'm on a mission. I'm on a mission to roll through whoever steps into the ring with me at the end of tonight, and that means anyone. So DDT, if you think you're leaving here tonight with my world title then you definitely live in the same dream world that Jason Cashe lives in."
The smile gets bigger.
Jackson: "Just like Dan Benson, just like Jonathan Talon, just like Kenshin Takamura, Chris Fury, Derek Thorne, Secret Enforcer, Stefan Raab, and most importantly you Jason Cashe."
Finally, the rant gets to the true intended target.
Jackson: "That's right Cashe, just like you. You see Jason, although I do like the confidence that you've shown from day one, it isn't going to make a difference by the end of tonight. Whether you survive Benson in round one, whether you survive rounds two and three...."
The pacing stops, in front of the camera, Vanessa now running her fingers through his hair.
Jackson: "You won't be surviving the final match of the evening if you step into this ring with me. Face it Cashe, you might think that 4CW is better than the WWA as a whole, but there's no way in hell that you are remotely close to me in..."
Actually, for the first time since entering the ring, Sean stops himself. After all of the verbage back and forth between the two, there has to be a little bit of respect...right?
Jackson: "You know what, I'll stop myself right there. I could stand up here and completely run you down Cashe, but I won't do that. No, you answered the challenge from Benson and to me, that showed a lot of guts. You came in here tonight with nothing to gain and everything to lose, so for that, I do applaud you."
For a few brief seconds, Sean does clap his hands while Vanessa's eyes turn a dark black in color. There were comments made about her in a few of Jason's promos that would get anyone else a death warrant, but in a sign of respect, a slight sign of respect, Sean doesn't address it.
Jackson: "But I can promise you this much Cashe. You walked in here tonight empty handed, and you will leave here empty handed. But, if you can wrestle half as good as you can talk. Then you will also leave here with a small amount of respect from the number one ranked wrestler in the world...."
Inhale.exhale.
Jackson: "The WWA / NWA world heavyweight champion. "The Mental Rapist" Sean Jackson."
[With that, Sean Jackson and Vanessa exit the ring as "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins begins to play and the shot shifts back to the announcers.]
Pediceno: Well alright then. Our world champion with a lot to say here tonight.
Warner: He's right though, the person who wins this tournament has a lot more to prove by facing him for the World title.
Pediceno: Only time will tell Joel. Now can we go to the ring for the first match?

#Bad company

#Bad company
#Till the day I die
#Oh, till the day I die
#Till the day I die
[When Justin Dawes gets up to the ring, he signals to his waste like he plans to win the WWA World Heavyweight Championship tonight, he walks over to the table where the Pagano Cup is and stares at it.]
#Rebel souls, deserters we are called
#Chose a gun and threw away the sun
#Now these towns, well they all know our name

#That's why they call me
#Bad company

Pediceno: Anything can happen here, and as you said it Justin is closer now to making history.
Warner: I can't believe Justin just beat Megalord. This is awesome!!
Pediceno: You thought he would lose? Justin Dawes is no joke, you know that Joel.
Warner: But Megalord is a monster!!
[We cut to the back where you see Jonathan Talon walking around. He stops infront of a door that says WWA Chairman. He knocks before entering. On a couches you see Chairman William Tocci, along with Vice Chairman Jonathan Darkstar.]
WT: Talon, hows my champ doin?
Talon: I'd be doing a lot better if I had an opponent that knew how to promote a match. I was expecting back and forth promotion like Cashe and Benson did for their match. But what do I get? I get stuck with a guy who is more interested in promoting himself and his organization than trying to promote a match that honors a great man like Pagano. That and have you seen how much of the others in this tournament have done? Stefan Raab, absolutely nothing. He did one promo and even said it was going to be his only one. He didn't give a shit about this tournament. What about Lucian Frost? Or Derek Thorne? Even Secret Enforcer. None of them did anything for the show.
WT: I know Jon and I have been thinking about things and was going to make an announcement that anyone who didn't put in the work was going to be out of the tournament and we were going to scratch every match. Well except Justin vs Megalord, cause for whatever reason Mr. Darkstar here wanted that match to happen.
Talon: What about this, instead of just booting them why not change the line up so that those who put in the work face someone who didn't and see who wins. If I get beat by someone who played the lazy game for almost two weeks then I will vacate my title and quit.
WT: Ok, how about this then, who do you want to face in the first round?
Talon: How about the second most hyped person that was entered yet did NOTHING! Lucian Frost.
WT: Sounds good to me, go ahead and get out there, Lucian is on deck. That means your match is next.
Talon: Thanks boss.
[Talon turns and walks out the door, shutting it behind him.]
Darkstar: That guy has some fire.
WT: I told you man. This guy means business, and his ideas are golden. He's a bookers dream. Now what are we going to do about the rest of this tournament. Should we call guys in here one by one to have them choose their opponent or what?
Darkstar: I think we should figure it out and pass the word along to Joe and Joel.
WT: How about we pass the word to Joe and Joel just before the matches are supposed to happen? Make it a surprize for everyone. Do a lottery type thing.
Darkstar: You're mind is sick and twisted. Thats what I like about you man.
[We cut back to the announce table.]
Warner: Wait...what?
Pediceno: Well looks like we have our reason for not going through the list of matches. Mr. Tocci and Mr. Darkstar are not happy about what has happened and they want to make changes.
Warner: Did they say they were going to do a lottery?
Pediceno: Ya, pick two names from a hat and thats who faces each other I guess. Makes for interesting television.
Warner: Oh this is getting good.
Pediceno: Yes it is, but we have to get to the ring for our second match here. Originally Lucian Frost against David Dean Trenton, now its Lucian Frost against Jonathan Talon.

[The �Black Heart� Jonathan Talon steps out from the backstage as he wears his �El Corazon de Negro� mask. The Western States Heritage title is wrapped around his waist as he takes off his mask at the entrance way.. The crowd gives him a huge pop, as he smiles and is wearing an Asylum T-Shirt and a pair of red tights that have black hearts on each side of the hips.]
Warner: Here comes the PWW Western States Heritage Champion.
Pediceno: The man with always sound advice for Tocci and the ability to bring this house down, did you hear the crowd!?
Smith: Coming down the aisle, standing 5�11 and weighing in at 215 lbs, he is the PWW Western States Heritage Champion the �BLACK HEART� JONATHAN TALON!
Warner: This guy is such a considerable talent here in the WWA, but tonight he has a tough road to become not only the Pagano Cup winner, but to become World Champion is even harder.
Pediceno: I can�t wait for match started.
[Talon walks down the aisle casually greeting the fans as the belt glistens from the lights above. He rolls into the ring and sits in the corner for a moment and soaks in the excitement and feel of the roaring crowd.]
Warner: He looks determined.
Pediceno: One thing I noticed about Talon is that he fights with a chip on his shoulder and tonight looks no different than any other night I have seen this guy enter the squared circle.
[Talon goes to the second turnbuckle and raises his title over the head and points at himself as he is yelling back at the crowd.]
Smith: and his opponent, weighing in at 170 pounds. He is from the Far Reaches of Sanity. Lucian Frost!!!

[Jon is back on his feet. Talon uses a snap mare takeover on Frost. Jon kicks Frost on the mat. Frost is up again. Frost with a jumping DDT on Jonathan Talon.

Smith: The winner of this match and advancing to the second round, "Black Heart" Jonathan Talon!!!
Pediceno: Looks like our PWW champion is moving on here tonight.
Warner: Hell ya he is.
Pediceno: I just wonder who is going to be in our next match.
Warner: You think Tocci is going to stick to the lottery or let Benson versus Cashe happen?
Pediceno: We shall find out since that match is supposed to be next.
[We cut backstage where PWW Senior Journalist Ryan Shermanski is standing in front of the Pagano Cup interview set, with microphone in hand.]
Shermanski: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time. He is a man who has gone on record in saying that the future of his career depends on this very evening. Chris Fury.
[Chris Fury steps into the scene, to Ryan�s right. He is wearing his ring attire, and has the hood on his entrance jacket pulled up over his head. With his hands on his hips he is staring at the ground with an almost expressionless look on his face.]
Shermanski: Chris, tonight you seek to redeem yourself and get your career back on track by not only winning the Pagano Cup, but going on to win the WWA World Heavyweight Title. As we are just mere moments away from your first round match against an opponent yet to be named by the Chairman, what are your thoughts as you prepare to engage in what you seem to be viewing as the fight of your life.
[Chris looks up, and directly into the camera.]
Chris Fury: Three grueling matches. One of which will be a triple threat against two of the best. Followed immediately by a World Heavyweight Title match against a fresh, and seemingly unstoppable WWA World Heavyweight Champion, in Sean Jackson. That�s what I�ll have to go through if I want to redeem myself, and my legacy. What else can I say that hasn�t already been said? The time for talk is over, Ryan. It�s time to let my actions do the talking.
[Fury abruptly walks off camera.]
Shermanski: Umm, ok well I guess back to you Joe and Joel.
[We cut back to the announce table.]
Pediceno: A very determined Chris Fury here tonight.
Warner: Fury may be right. This may be the only chance he has.
Pediceno: We don't know that Joel. Chris has been down like this before and just when he was ready to leave he came back and dominated. Remember all that happened in WCCW. He was the most hated man alive facing against "The Natural" Terence Harris, and became the NWA World Champion and that was after taking an almost five year break. He was ready to leave the business behind.
Warner: True, but since he lost the NWA title he has been somewhat different. He changed. Maybe that change wasn't a good thing.
Pediceno: Well we may never know that Joel.
[The Tron comes alive with Mr. Tocci and Mr. Darkstar standing in front of the camera.]
WT: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being patient with us tonight as we decide to shuffle the deck so to speak. You will still see many great matches, but we have decided to switch things up. Jason Cashe will be facing....
[Darkstar pulls a name from a bowl. He hands the paper to Tocci. Tocci reads it and smiles.]
WT: David Dean Trenton...come on down.
[The Tron goes to static then black.]
Warner: Whoa!! DDT is facing Cashe now!! This is gonna be fun.
Pediceno: Jason Cashe has been hot on the promos over the past few weeks. Getting the most views on the WWA page of all the competitors here tonight. Let's hope this translates to his in ring abilities.
Jason Cashe vs. David Dean Trenton
Pagano Cup
First Round
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring at this time, weighing in at 232 pounds, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, David Dean Trenton, D.D.T.!!!
[David Dean Trenton comes to the ring.]
"I Grew Up A Fucking Screw-Up
Got Introduced to the Game, to the Game then Fucking Blew Up
I Grew Up A Fucking Screw-Up
Got Introduced to the Game, to the Game then Fucking Blew Up"
[As the chorus to "Grew Up A Screw Up" plays as Jason Cashe steps through the back curtain with the 4CW South West Championship buckled around his waist as he steps onto the stage, he is met with cheers of many plus some deep bass boos from the haters. The chorus of the song plays but is spoken over as the Ring Announcer makes introductions.]
Smith: Introducing the Atlanta Born but Houston Representative, at 230 pounds he is the Current 4CW South West Champion!! "The INFLUENCE OF WRESTLING!" Jaaaasssooon...CAAASSSSHHE!!!
"Ever since I was an embryo, waiting to shape up and ship out
Something in my brain said, "Wake up and kick out!"
Roberta and Wayne stayed up and flipped out
Cause when I came I was draped up and dripped out
Snip the umbilical, spit the government chip out
Peace up, A-Town down and then I dipped out
And oh my gosh, the Osh Kosh was picked out
I slipped in, even my baby stroller was tricked out
Somebody get him, the little homie's out of control
Put a little bit of rum in my bottle I'll dream about diamonds and gold
Gold gold, to grow from an infant to toddler was effervescent
The essence of adolescence got my body feeling freshen
freshing freshing, and it was a blessing to rhyme and start rapping
I was the best in my section with flows hard than erections
Still the best but now I'm grown with more range than a Texan
And I'm a heavyweight you dudes is lighter than my complexion"
Warner: Looks like Tocci and Darkstar decided not to have Cashe versus Benson here tonight.
Pediceno: You never know Joel, they may end up facing somewhere down the line.
[As he heads to ringside, he rounds the corner he unbuckles the Championship and picks up speed as he leaps up on the ring apron, landing on one knee and pulling himself to his feet using the ropes and lifts the Championship high into the air above him. He dips through the ropes and enters the ring to a louder pop from the crowd. He makes a roof over his head with his hands for the cameras to see before handing the belt off to the referee and leans against the ropes. Ready for his dose of Action.]
Warner: Ya but thats a big chance that either man will make it to the second round.
[Pat Wolfe is the referee for this contest. Pat Wolfe checks Cashe's boots and knee pads. Wolfe calls for the bell to start this thing. Jason is hooked in a full nelson.

#I am your nightmares, true scares
#That dream when you can't stop from falling
#Can't fight, can't run
#Can't stop the person you've become
[The song kicks in as various lights around the entrance set begin to pulsate, and Chris Fury�s entrance video starts to play on the tron.]
Warner: Here we go!
[The former National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight and Television Champion, Chris Fury, emerges from behind the curtain, wearing long black tights with his � logo on each leg in blue, black boots with blue & black kickpads, and a sleeveless black hoodie, with the hood pulled up over his head. He makes his way down the aisle with a purpose, with his eyes deadlocked on the ring that lies ahead of him, and a very serious and focused look of determination on his face.]
Pediceno: Well here he comes, Joel. A man that has gone on record and publically stated that tonight is either going to make or break his career.
Warner: That�s right, Joe. Chris Fury says that he can achieve the redemption he is looking for and reboot his career by not only winning the Pagano Cup, but by also going on to win the World Title. He also feels though that anything less than that could end up being the final nail in the coffin in his career. He�s set some awfully high standards for himself here tonight, and I hope that he can live up to them, for his sake.
Smith: Making his way to the ring at this time, hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 228 pounds, CHRRRRIS FUUUUURRRYYYY!!!!
[Fury walks up the ring steps, and walks along the ring apron to the opposite side of the ring, where he climbs up onto the second rope. He slowly removes his hood, as he stares out into the crowd, and then quickly raises both his arms up in the air, receiving a largely positive reaction from the sell out crowd.]
Pediceno: Well there�s no doubt about it. This capacity crowd here at the MGM Grand is firmly in Chris Fury�s corner!

WT: Look I understand you're upset TL but you know you can't put your hands on the talent.
TL: Well thats where we have somewhat of a problem here. A problem between me and you.
WT: Me? For what?
TL: You see, I want to know when in the hell you are going to suspend Dan Benson??
WT: Why? He�s already in Pagano�give me a reason. I can�t suspend him this late.
TL: I will give you three. Two Shockers to Annabelle and that ambush he tried to pull with that piss-ant brother of his.
Darkstar: Whoa whoa, Lightning, I thought we already talked about this. And you already got revenge on Benson for that. Plus we fined him.
TL: Ya, $1,000. And yet, you fined me $10,000 for my response at IDES�.put me on probation for six months�told me if �
WT: DAMN IT, YOU�RE AN OFFICER IN WWA!! I EXPECT BETTER BEHAVIOR FROM YOU!
TL: Yes, I am, but I am Annabelle�s godfather. I made a promise to Matt that I would look out for her.
WT: Well, we've done all we can. Considering what you pulled off last week, you should be lucky I don�t fire you and the Tulios.
TL: Bull. If you don�t suspend him soon, I will do something tonight that will make sure Benson doesn�t win the damned tournament.
WT: You will not�because you value your job, and theirs�plus Stephanie and Victoria would be pissed at you.
TL: I will not have that bastard advance in the tournament, you idiot.
Darkstar: Well�how about you do something in an OFFICIAL capacity then?
TL: Like what, Jon?
[Tocci looks over at Darkstar and smiles that oh so evil smile.]
WT: Ya, you officiate a match.
TL: Tonight?
WT: Ya, if Benson makes it out of the first round. You can be the ref for his second round match.
[TL smiles.]
TL: Really?
WT: There is nothing more I'd love to see than a failed attempt by Dan Benson to grab the gold. The guy has pissed me off in more ways than you can imagine and frankly I don't know why I keep hiring him. The guy is a prima dona.
Darkstar: Oh and Lightning, you still have that contract right?
TL: Ya, I have it.
Darkstar: Bring it to Nightmare, and we can have some more fun.
TL: Not a bad idea.
[The three shake hands.]
WT: Ok go talk to Rick and tell him to get you sized up for a zebra suit.
[We cut back to the announce table.]
Warner: Did I just hear that right? Texas Lightning will be the special referee here tonight if Benson makes it to the second round?
Pedicino: If the odds were against Benson before, they are now stacked highly against him with a long-term archrival officiating his match.
Warner: This is getting crazy!!
[The Tron lights up with Tocci and Darkstar's smiling faces.]
WT: Welcome back to the lottery ladies and gentlemen. Jon would you please do the honors of telling us the two names for this next match.
[Darkstar draws the two names from the two bowls. He reads the first one.]
Darkstar: The first competitor will be Stefan Raab.
[He reads the second one and laughs slightly. He shows Tocci the paper and that evil smile comes across his face.]
Darkstar: And his oppoent is going to be...Dan Benson. Good luck
[The Tron goes dark as we cut straight to Bill Smith.]

[The door opens and in walks Pat Wolfe.]
Wolfe: Mr. Tocci, we have a problem.
WT: What?
Wolfe: Hardkore Warriors are MIA.
WT: What? Hirioshi knows how important this night is. I don't think he would just disappear.

WT: Pat keep us informed.
Wolfe: Yes sir.
[Pat walks out of the office as we cut back to the announce table.]
Warner: This doesn't sound good.
Pediceno: The Director of Opeations and his wife haven't shown up for not only the biggest night in the alliance but for their match against Annabelle and Mayer. This definately isn't good.
[The Tron lights up again as Tocci and Darkstar stare out at the crowd.]

Pagano Cup

Warner: This next match will be one to raise the roof. I have been looking forward to this one since the challenge was offered on Twitter.
Pediceno: You know I would have to agree with you about this one. It all started out Benson was upset the 4CW has a Southwest Championship, and he feels it tarnishes the Southwest Championship he held in WCCW.
Warner: This has heated up to the point Jason Cashe caused a distraction in PWW, and Dan showed up in 4CW to get into his head as well. Hey wait a moment. I have heard there is some sort of disturbance going on outside.
Pediceno: Well let�s get a camera out there and see what is going on.
[The scene switches to the outside and there is a squad of police motorcycles with lights flashing and sirens blaring. Behind them is a white carriage being pulled by four white stallions. We see the carriage is all lit up with flashing lights of multiple colors.]
Pediceno: What in the world? Who is this arriving here?
[On the big screen WCCW�s Greatest scrolls across the screen. And the song �Rock Me Amerdeus� by Falco starts to play over the speakers.]
Warner: What!? Who?
#He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
#He was a genius from the day of his birth.
#He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
#And ev'rybody screamed:
#Come on, rock me Amadeus.
[Back outside the carriage stops. A person standing by rolls out a 50� red carpet leading from the carriage to the entrance of the building. One door opens up and it reviles the younger brother, Simon Benson. He is wearing a black tuxedo, and his hair slicked back resembling Brad Pitt during the golden globes. He walks around and opens the door, and stepping right out onto the red carpet is Dan Benson. He is wearing a baby blue robe with silver sequin all over it. On the back in bright white letters �World Class� inscribed on it. The driver climbes down from the carriage, and joining the duo is Dan�s manager Eddie Blazzy. He is wearing a red jacket, black pants, and golf club in hand. The trio make their way into the arena.]
#He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did (it)
#Seemed to be alright.
#And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around
#But when the women would shout:
#Rock me Amadeus,
#Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
#Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
#Oh oh oh Amadeus.
Pediceno: Ohh my god, what an introduction! Dan, Simon and Eddie, plus all this.
Warner: Well, it is the Benson way to be over the top.
[On the screen �The Natural Boy� flashes. Then from behind the curtain the three of them stop and pause for a moment to take in the loud and very mixed reaction from the crowd.]
#With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other
#'Cause he was a ladies man
#He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
#Because the girls would sing:
#Rock me Amadeus,
#Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
#Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
#Oh oh oh Amadeus.
[Dan gracefully makes his way to the ring with Eddie on one side and Simon on the other. After he takes an eternity to get down there. He spreads his arms, then snaps his finger. Eddie come running with a mic and hands it do Dan.]
[The Music stops and Dan begins to speak.]
Dan: Yes everybody The Natural Boy has arrived here at the Steven Pagano Memorial Cup.
-Cheers-
Dan: Tonight you are going to witness history. Tonight I am going to show some disgusting, idiotic slob what it is like to be in the light. And by god WWA is the light.
-Cheers-
Tonight I am going to show Jason Cashe the platter, then I am going to rip it away, sending him back to that back ally wrestling promotion and rot the rest of his career there. Then after him, I don�t care if you are from SCW, and we all know those boys are afraid to be part of the WWA, I don�t care if you are from OCW, or even from that half assed company called the UTA, you will all go back, and you can watch the real world class athletes perform. Tonight we are going to separate the professionals from the rookies. Ohh one more thing. Texas Lightning, you better keep your ass in line tonight. I brought reinforcements, and I�m sure you don�t want good old Eddie here to holler FOUR, then smack you in the kisser. Now, lets get this started.
[Dan holds out his arms, and Eddie takes the mic away and removes his robe. Eddie and Simon leave the ring.]
Pediceno: Wow, now that is one hell of an entrance by Benson with some very strong words.
Warner: Well, we shall now see if he can back up those words.
"I Grew Up A Fucking Screw-Up
Got Introduced to the Game, to the Game then Fucking Blew Up
I Grew Up A Fucking Screw-Up
Got Introduced to the Game, to the Game then Fucking Blew Up"
[As the chorus to "Grew Up A Screw Up" plays as Jason Cashe steps through the back curtain with the 4CW South West Championship buckled around his waist as he steps onto the stage, he is met with cheers of many plus some deep bass boos from the haters. The chorus of the song plays but is spoken over as the Ring Announcer makes introductions.]
Smith: Introducing the Atlanta Born but Houston Representative, at two Hundred and Thirty pounds he is the Current 4CW South West Champion!! "The INFLUENCE OF WRESTLING!" Jaaaasssooon...CAAASSSSHHE!!!
"Ever since I was an embryo, waiting to shape up and ship out
Something in my brain said, "Wake up and kick out!"
Roberta and Wayne stayed up and flipped out
Cause when I came I was draped up and dripped out
Snip the umbilical, spit the government chip out
Peace up, A-Town down and then I dipped out
And oh my gosh, the Osh Kosh was picked out
I slipped in, even my baby stroller was tricked out
Somebody get him, the little homie's out of control
Put a little bit of rum in my bottle I'll dream about diamonds and gold
Gold gold, to grow from an infant to toddler was effervescent
The essence of adolescence got my body feeling freshen
freshing freshing, and it was a blessing to rhyme and start rapping
I was the best in my section with flows hard than erections
Still the best but now I'm grown with more range than a Texan
And I'm a heavyweight you dudes is lighter than my complexion"
[As he heads to ringside, he rounds the corner he unbuckles the Championship and picks up speed as he leaps up on the ring apron, landing on one knee and pulling himself to his feet using the ropes and lifts the Championship high into the air above him. He dips through the ropes and enters the ring to a louder pop from the crowd. He makes a roof over his head with his hands for the cameras to see before handing the belt off to the referee and leans against the ropes. Ready for his dose of Action.]
Pediceno: This is going to be interesting. Benson reclaiming himself The Natural Boy, and going against Jason Cashe, with Texas Lightning as the referee. Oh man.

Warner: What the Hell, Benson could have won that here.

Dan: Well, I will give credit where credit is due, and tonight Cashe you proved to be the better athlete. I do believe you are capable of winning this whole damn thing and taking the world title back with you to the 4CW. Maybe I won�t be taking home any gold tonight, but I may end up a MILLION dollars richer!
[Classy Eddie tosses his golf club to Dan, and he takes several hits on Cashe hitting him hard on the knee. After several hits he drops the golf club on Cashe and the three of them leave the ring.]

Warner: Ha he is going to need that million dollars to pay for that fancy introduction he had.
[We cut to the backstage area. Tocci is seen walking into the referees locker room. Pat Wolfe and Robert Benson are standing there talking.]
WT: Pat, any word on Hirioshi?
Wolfe: No sir, neither him nor Viper are answering their phones and we are coming closer to time for the match. What do you want me to do.
WT: The only thing you can do. If they don't show up when they are announced, count them out. I'll have to deal with them another time.
[Tocci walks out as we cut back to the announce table.]
Warner: This is wierd. Viper and Weapon X aren't usually ones to disappear.
Pediceno: I hope everything is ok. But its time for us to get to our next match.
Warner: But who is it going to be?
[The tron lights up as Darkstar is there by himself.]

[The lights in the arena shut down, leaving the crowd in the dark, as bright flashes start to burst through out, acting as it were streaks of lighting. A dark crimson color light illuminates the entrance area as a thick mist rolls across the entrance ramp.]
[A hush falls over the arena as the crimson mist pours off the entrance ramp and into the crowd. Without warning, crimson colored lights explode throughout the arena. A video explodes on the screen as you can see the letters slowly fade in, until it forms "The Mental Rapist".]
[Behind the letters, clips of Sean Jackson in the ring over the years comes to life on the video wall above the entrance way. Soon a theme begins, one that hasn't been heard in awhile.]
[That being the opening notes of "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.]
v/o: "Can you feel it coming? In the air, tonight?"
[As soon as the voice over ends, you hear the voice of Phil Collins start up with...]
"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord"
[Through the crimson mist, a ring of fire can now be seen as the fans can see two people rising up from the floor, Sean Jackson and Vanessa. Jackson is motionless while Vanessa stands bladed, her curves showing up beautifully against the backdrop. Once both have risen like a phoenix from its ashes, they step out of the ring of fire. Jackson is focused, his face adorned with a serious look while Vanessa runs her hands down the curves of her body and to her hips.]
"Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord."
[A slight smile forms on Sean's face. This will be the first time that he's defended the world title at the Pagano Cup and he wants to play the mind games right off of the bat.]
[Sean and Vanessa begin the slow walk down towards the ring as the crimson spot lights glisten off of Vanessa's dark vietnamese skin and cast a pale reflection on Jackson. Vanessa wearing a low cut blood red dress with a long slit showing off her well toned legs and cleavege while Jackson has the WWA World Heavyweight Title fastened around his waist, the NWA World Heavyweight Title draped over his shoulder and is dressed in a white shirt with the NWA logo on the front, blood pouring from the bottom. He is also wearing black tights with gold colored material and outlined in blood red you see "Mental" and on the opposite leg you see "Rapist".]
[As soon as they enter the ring, a spotlight bathes Sean Jackson as he takes to the turnbuckles and slowly climbs up. As he sets foot on the middle turnbuckle, the ring is surrounded in falling pyro on all sides of the rings as he raises the title belt high, much to the approval of a clapping Vanessa. Jackson then hops down off the turnbuckle and leans against the ropes. As the pyro dies out, the lights come back on, returning the light to the arena.]
Warner: Jackson is looking in great shape and he is fresh.
Pediceno: That is very true, is the fresh man while Jason has had a long night.
[Before the bell rings Sean goes right after Jason taking him to the ground quickly. He begins to work on the neck and head. Jackson picks him up and hits a quick ddt. Goes for the cover already. 1�.2� KICK OUT]

Jason decides to powder to the outside of the ring Vanessa is there right in his face� The ref goes to the outside, meanwhile Jackson pulls some sort of foreign object out�� Vanessa hops up on the apron and the ref is now arguing with Vanessa. Jackson heads to the outside and goes to hit Jason with the illegal object, Jason ducks and then comes back a rolling elbow and it nearly knocks Jackson out. Jason doesn�t want a count out so he picks up Jackson and rolls him in the ring.]
Pediceno: That was very close.
Warner: I thought it was over early on. Jason Cashe can�t have much left in him. Jackson is laid out on the mat, Jason know he has to end this early.
[Looking to his his �UTI� Finisher, Cashe stalks his opponent and hits the neckbreaker!]
Pediceno: He hit the UTI, that has to be it!!! The ref makes the count�.
Warner: Wait a second is that Eddie Blazzy????
Pediceno: It is Blazzy and Benson!!!!!
[1��2�.. Blazzy pulls the ref out of the ring. He begins to argue with the ref�.. Rick Manning is telling Blazzy he is ejected from the area�.. Cashe see�s Benson and is ready to fight him off, however Benson hits him with Blazzy�s golf club!!!! Cashe is out cold!!!!]
Warner: Benson is helping Jackson??? What the hell.
Pediceno: Benson is pulling Jackson on top of Cashe.
[Blazzy let�s the ref go�. 1��2��.3.]
Smith: Here is your winner, and still WWA World Heavyweight Champion, �The Mental Rapist� Sean���.
[Started from the Bottom by Drake hits as Mr. Tocci comes out and he looks absolutely pissed.]
WT: NO! THIS WILL NOT END LIKE THIS!!! Tonight is the most important night for the WWA and you're going to come out here and do this shit Benson???? You have go to be kidding me. THIS ISN�T GOING TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS! NOT ON STEVIES NIGHT!!! Rick I am demanding an automatic restart in five minutes giving Cashe time to rest up!!! That way it is fair for the both of you. And Benson....YOU'RE FIRE!!!
[Dan's face goes white as a ghost. Tocci turns and walks back behind the curtain. Dan quickly runs up the ramp and behind the curtain. We cut backstage where Dan is catching up to Mr. Tocci.]
Benson: Will, come on, you can't be serious.
WT: Like a fuckin heart attack Dan. Jon and I saw that bullshit stunt you just pulled out there. And if you're willing to ruin the biggest night in the WWA's history. The one thing that will cement us as a power house in the industry. If you are willing to kill the WWA that easily. You may as well go back over to work for Brad in the NWA. But wait..Brad doesn't want you either does he. As a matter of fact, most of the guys that have ever worked for myself or Jon were blacklisted from most other places.
Benson: Will, look man, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it meant that much. I mean it. I'll do whatever I have to do to show that I didn't mean to try and kill anything. I was just trying to make sure Cashe didn't win the WWA title. He cost me my chance and I was going to do the same for him. I promise thats all I was trying to do.
[Tocci and Benson walk into Tocci's office. Darkstar is standing there fuming.]
Darkstar: You're a piece of work Dan. A real piece of work.
Benson: Please, Jon, I wasn't trying to ruin anything but Jason's chance to get the WWA title. You know me. I wouldn't have done it if I thought I was going to get fired for it.
Darkstar: You know Will, he does have a point. If he knew we would fire him. He would have kept his ass in the locker rooms.
WT: Ok Dan, last chance. You fuck up again and you're gone.
Darkstar: I'll see you at Nightmare.
Benson: Thank you for listening to reason.
[Dan exits the office.]
Darkstar: That was easier than I thought.
WT: What did I tell ya, listen to me when it comes to tryin to trick someone good. TL got part one of the plan done, we just got part two.
[Tocci looks at his watch.]
WT: Rick should be restarting the match about now.
[We cut back to the announce table.]
Warner: Part two? What plan are they talkin about?
Pediceno: Could it have something to do with the papers that Tocci mentioned to Lightning earlier in the night?
Warner: I'm so confused!!!
[Jackson is pissed his Hands were raised in the air and Vanessa is shocked, but now Manning is restarting the match, for what? Thanks to Dan Benson and his lackies butting in. Jason Cashe is standing in the corner just about ready. Manning checks him out and asks him if he is ready. Cashe gives the thumbs up. Manning rings the bell.]
Warner: Jason was out but he slowly has made it back to his feet. The bell has been rung.
[They goto lock up, Cashe ducks Jackson and goes off the ropes, tries to hit a shoulder tackle, but Jackson stays, up he goes for another, Jackson is still up. This time Cashe hits a lariat knocking Jackson down. He picks Jackson up and hits a tiger suplex into a pin. 1�..2� KICK OUT!!!!!!!]
Pediceno: OH DAMN THAT WAS SO CLOSE!!!
[Cashe is shocked, he gets up and Jackson hits him with a low blow, Manning didn�t see it. Jackson Hits the Mental Breaker out of no where. Now Cashe is up on his knees swaying�� Jackson goes for the Game Called Due to Darkness but Cashe moves out of the way Jackson misses and falls on the ground.]
Pediceno: They are doing everything they can in this one!
Warner: They sure are!!!!
[Jackson gets up goes after Cashe as to lock back up with him and Jason Cashe pulls him into a quick roll up, he�s got Jackson cradled in. 1�.2�.3!!!!!!]
Smith: AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND NEW WWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, �THE INFLUENCE OF WRESTLING� JASON CASHE!!!!
[The crowd begins to cheer Cashe is celebrating!!! His music is blaring and the crowd is going absolutely wild. Benson and Blazzy make their way back to the ring. Jackson is highly pissed off in the corner. Benson and Blazzy are talking with Sean Jackson in the ring. Jackson isn�t happy and Vanessa looks pissed. Jason heads to the back with his newly won title.]
Warner: Hopefully we can get a word from the new champion in the back.
[As Jason holds the title high at the entry way he walks backwards into New Tradition, Brandon Myers, Pete Jackson, and Robert Bayley. Jason Cashe backs up saying he doesn�t want any trouble. They start to go after him but Jason Cashe takes his belts and goes up into the crowd celebrating. New Tradition heads straight to the ring and we have a new champion. Bayley and Myers with Pete Jackson are laughing at Benson and Sean Jackson arguing in the ring.]
Pete Jackson: It seems now Sean that you have been upped by New Tradition and somebody else yet again. You and Benson seem to wanna be a team but you cannot work together. If you think you can utilize yourself as a team I am going to ask William Tocci to do me a favor. I want you to put the former World Champion, Sean Jackson with Benson and I want them to take on the former World Heavyweight Champions, Robert �Blayze� Bayley, and �Bad Attitude� Brandon Myers for a shot at the WWA World Tag Team titles!!!! Because you owe this to us!!! Myers never lost the World title and if you are going to screw him out of that shot at least let us take what is truly ours anyways the tag team titles�..
[Benson and Jackson act like they want New Tradition now. Myers and Bayley act like they are going to rush the ring but then powder out.]
Pete Jackson: Not today boys, but soon!!!!! There are big things to come�. You See things are picking up for New Tradition, we have not been put down to rest, we are here to stay. Jackson, Benson welcome to your worst nightmare, the best in the business!!!! This match won�t happen tonight, these paying snot nose fans in Vegas have seen enough!!! If they wanna see another main event caliber match such as you two scum bags versus Brandon Myers and Robert Bayley then they are going to have to tune into Nightmare if they want to see that happen!!! That�s right. Darkstar, Tocci Make it happen!!!!! Number 1 contenders match for the tag team titles on Nightmare!!! Do the right thing Tocci, since you have screwed Brandon Myers over and didn�t even give him a shot to win his rightful title back, the World Heavyweight Championship. But that�s ok because it�s only a matter of time until they are not only the World Tag Team Champions, but it�s only a matter of time till Brandon Myers is also the World Heavyweight Champion once again, because it is the title he never lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for Justin Dawes he must realize his days as a singles wrestler is over. If he wants to stick with the program he better get with his son and win the World Class Tag Team titles!!!! That�s not a threat nor a promise, that is an order from the 4 time WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, THAT�S RIGHT MEEEEEEEE PETE JACKSON!!!!! THE GREEEEEEEATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
[Bad Company blares as New Tradition heads to the back, Jackson and Benson are still kind of arguing. We fade out. PWW Logo flashes across the screen. WCCW Logo flashes across the screen. HCW Logo flashes across the screen. WWA Logo flashes across the screen.]
