EPISODE: Almost Live 03, Chapter 2

JACOBS:  "Before we get to our main event, let’s take you to an interview conducted earlier today with the newest superstar coming to WFW:NE at the next round of shows following Unplugged … OMAHA!!"


Karma Comes Around

(Filmed on location in Rome, Georgia.. the scene opens inside a living room of a very nice plantation home where WFW:NE reporter, Black Rose, is sitting on a sturdy wicker chair. Across from him is CSWA young, blue chipper upstart, Bobby Karma. Seated next to him is his wife, Mikalia, and between them is their two year old daughter, Alluriana.)

ROSE:  "Here I am, Black Rose as the WFW:NE is on location here in Rome, Georgia where I have been invited into the home of the WFW:NE's newest signee. Some of you smarks and marks might know this man as 'What Goes Around Comes Around' Bobby Karma..  Man, that is the longest nickname in the history of pro wrestling. Can I just call you, the Epitome of Destiny. I figure that has a much better ring to it?"

KARMA:  "Ah sure, I guess."

ROSE:  "Now I've tried my best to follow you throughout your time in the big leagues. I saw you wrestle in the CSWA annual anniversary, Gold Rush tournament and how a little nobody like yourself could walk in and go the distance with the likes of Kin Hiroshi and Cameron Cruise and guys who are like legends in this business. I mean I thought to myself that this kid he's got something and then you pretty walked away. What happened? Where have you been all this time?"

KARMA:  "Pretty much life happened. Wrestling has always been in my blood. I've always loved it with every fiber in my being. But I felt like that I needed to grow up. When I was touring with the CSWA on the house show circuit. I hurt myself during a match. I landed wrong, broke my fibula and had a metal rod inserted into it."

ROSE:  "And how is your leg?"

KARMA:  "It feels great, with the rehab and the support of my wife I feel good as new."

ROSE:  "Now I understand that it was while you were rehab, it was there that you met your beautiful wife Mikalia."

KARMA:  "Yeah it was. She was a registered nurse in private practice working hand and hand assisting with the doctor that performed the surgery on my leg. She was closely involved with my rehab taking a real earnest and vested interest in me and for that I will always be thankful because it pretty much set everything into motion for me."

ROSE:  "Now have you taken care of many professional wrestlers prior to Bobby before Mikalia?"

MIKALIA:  "Well, the CSWA had contracted Doctor Parrish and we worked on many professional wrestlers. I managed to distance myself between the clients for obvious reason. One being they were wrestlers, but Bobby here was different. He wasn’t some primadonna. He was so sweet and down to earth. Maybe it was that wholesome 'boy next door' look to him or that southern twang in his voice but he too cute to pass up. That adorable charisma and that twinkle in those big southern blue eyes had me instantly. The thing is, just by looking at him I could tell that he wasn't just trying to play me on some game. This was who he was. I still didn't make it any easier for him as I kept my distance but he was charming and patient. He just took his time and focused on his rehab. It just took me by surprise when he asked me out for the first time. It just felt right and I couldn't say no."

ROSE:  "Now I understand that you wisely invested your money from you time in the CSWA which most people would have blown but you were smart and you put it to use. What did you do with it?"

KARMA:  "Well, many things, for instance. When I was still employed through the CSWA, it was written in my contract by my friend and manager, Freddie Meriweather, that while I was working in the CSWA that aside from for me that they would help me go to school and as long as I maintained a 2.5 GPA, they would pay my way. I am set to graduate next year with a degree in broadcast journalism. My injury to my leg was a huge set back but God bless the CSWA for sticking to their end of the deal and because they did that I have stuck to my end of the deal. I managed to balance things out so that I could spend time with Mikalia without it interfering with my studies."

ROSE:  "So when did you get married?"

KARMA:  "About a year and a half ago, and then Mikalia got pregnant with Alluriana shortly after that."

ROSE:  "So why come back to wrestling. It seems like that you have a full plate with your family and studies?"

KARMA:  "Well believe it or not, it was Freddie that once again negotiated with the WFW:NE all the while was trying to convince me to get back into the game. He managed to get a suitable deal for me to come back. The biggest test was Freddie trying to convince Mikalia to let me come back into wrestling."

ROSE:  "Why's that Mikalia?"

MIKALIA:  "Well, after working with wrestlers for as long as I have and the time that I spent with Bobby. I didn't want to see him grow through another injury like that and not be prepared for the future. Both Bobby and Freddie had to convince me that it was time for Bobby to get back in a wrestling ring. I originally thought that life was behind Bobby but once I heard it from Freddie and then of course looking in Bobby's eyes I felt that he needed this more for himself than for us. Freddie basically said that Bobby would have given up on all of his dreams because of me and I didn't want him to feel like that he had to give it all up until he was ready to... on his terms. I didn't want him to go on resenting me in some way. I just said be careful."

ROSE:  "From that point forward you have been training again Bobby?"

KARMA:  "Yeah I have. I've got my leg in good shape and everything else fell into place after that. I am now back to what I was before. I am not as bulky as before but I feel toned and my ring shape is almost back to peak performance again. I think... no I believe that I am ready to make the return to the ring in the WFW:NE."

ROSE:  "And what are your goals upon returning to the WFW:NE?"

KARMA:  "Well everybody always aspires and desires to be world champion and such. Not me. My goal is to focus on giving the fans what they paid for with their hard earned money. Each and every time I set foot in the ring. I will try to give them one hell of a show whether it is on the bottom of the card-opening up the show at some house show or in the main event on the grandest stage of them all. I take what I've been given and I make the most of everything I am at. I of course aim high at championship goal and I will aspire to be a winner in whatever that I do but I will focus on putting on the best match possible. I've learned a lot from my time in the CSWA and now it just feels right for me to come back. I've paid some dues and got some licks and I am sure I will get many more but when it is all said and done I will be thankful about making it to the big dance and staying there for as long as I can. I will take each and every match seriously. I will fight to win but even a loss is a learning experience. I am coming into the WFW:NE with a clean slate and freshly open eyes. I've worked my tail off to get to this point and I will work even harder. This is a new chapter and a new beginning for Bobby Karma, and the fans won't be disappointed."

ROSE:  "Well that is about all the time that we have. Bobby, Mikalia, it was a pleasure and an honor to be invited into your beautiful home and I wish you all the best Bobby. Good luck in the WFW:NE."

KARMA:  "Thank you."

(The scene fades out as Black Rose shakes the hands of Karma and his wife and their daughter Alluriana. The sound has faded out as they talk amongst themselves before the camera fades out to black. The cameras then cut to ringside as Jacobs, Marx and "NOT" Waters prepare for the main event!)


The Wheel Gets Spun

JACOBS:  "Whoa, Bobby Karma is on his way to WFW:NE."

MARX:  "With Karma's past history with Cameron Cruise, it should be interesting to see if any of it comes into play."

"NOT" WATERS:  "Karma is a bitch."

JACOBS:  "Speaking of karma, it is time for our main event and whatever these two did in a past life, they are going to go through hell and back tonight."

MARX:  "I just thank god I'm not in this match, all of these matches can end a man's career, but some are so insane, they are truly worth of our two opponents here tonight."

JACOBS:  "WFW:NE management has a surprise wheel spinner tonight, let’s send this one to the stage where the wheel is set up!"

LINKS:  "Thank Brandon, at this time, it is my pleasure to announce a living legend in television, a man who has nineteen Emmy awards and was voted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame, THE FORMER HOST OF THE PRICES IS RIGHT AND THE FOREMOST EXPERT IN SPINNING A WHEEL..... BOB BARKER!"

(CUEUP:  "Price is Right Theme."  Bob Barker walks out to a huge pop from the crowd.)

CROWD:  "BOB IS GOD! BOB IS GOD!"

(Bob Barker motions for the crowd to quiet down.)

BARKER:  "Tell them what the options are on the Wheel, Jamie!"

LINKS:  "THERE ARE EIGHT GRUESOME OPTIONS ON THE WHEEL! The match is slot number one is Dr. Strangelove's House of Fun, a match which stipulations were specifically made up by Felix Red himself! The match in slot number two is an enclosed Steel Cage which was chosen by Psycho! The stipulation in the third slot is a barbed wire cage which was selected by Felix Red! Psycho in the fourth slot one upped Felix Red and chose a barbed wire ropes match!"

BARKER:  "I wouldn't want to get tangled in that."

LINKS:  "Our fifth match is a scaffold match of 100 tables, selected by Felix Red, where both men will be battling high over the ring, attempting to shove the other off into the sea of tables below! Our sixth stipulation is a page out of Big Japan Pro Wrestling textbook, a two hundred lighttube deathmatch!"

BARKER:  "Courtesy of our friends at Home Depot!"

LINKS:  "Lucky number seven is a page out of the FMW playboy, exploding ring explosive barbed wire steel cage deathmatch chosen by Felix Red and our eighth and the final option on the wheel, a fire death match choose by Psycho where both men will compete in a ring of fire!"

BARKER:  "Johnny Cash would have approved, let’s give the wheel a spin, Jamie, and find out what match these two men will participate in tonight!"

(Bob Barker gives the wheel a hard spin and it keeps on going around and around.)

BARKER:  "Around and around it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.... it is starting to slow down, IS IT? IT LOOKS LIKE..... AN EXPLODING RING EXPLOSIVE BARBED WIRE CAGE DEATH MATCH!"

MARX:  "Oh boy."

"NOT" WATERS:  "I never expected Bob Barker to utter those words."

BARKER:  "Good golly, those poor two men, can't they settle this with a game of Plinko? Both are tougher men than I. GOOD LUCK TO YOU BOTH AND REMEMBER FOLKS, REMEMBER TO SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS TODAY! GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!"

(CUEUP:  "Price is Right Theme." Bob Barker walks off to the ovation of the crowd and the ring crew begins to assemble the ring.)

MARX:  "Folks, it is going to take just a few moments to setup the ring, so let’s take this time right now and tell you all what an exploding barbed wire steel cage match entails. We didn't get the rules exactly right the first time so I want to make this clear to everyone at home."

"NOT" WATERS:  "Psycho is probably in the back licking his chops right now."

JACOBS:  "What is strange is, Felix Red CHOSE this match to compete against Psycho in… who chooses this match to compete against Psycho in, of all people? I'm flabbergasted."

MARX:  "An Exploding Ring Barbed Wire Cage Match is really quite simple. The steel cage is covered in barbed wire and each side of the cage has explosives rigged to it to blow up when either man makes contact. While there is no specific time limit to the match, there is a timer with a fifteen minute clock, if neither man can score the pinfall before the fifteen minutes are up; the powerful explosives around the ring go off. The referee for the match will be dressed in silver riot gear with a face mask to prevent smoke inhalation."

JACOBS:  "Jesus Christ."

MARX:  "WFW:NE security is moving some of the fans back from ringside to make sure they are out of harm’s way and as you can tell, we are now on the second level of Freedom Hall to call the match instead of our regulation position at ringside."

"NOT" WATERS:  "I've got my Poland Spring water to ease my nerves and I'm all ready to go."

(CUTTO:  The steel cage, covered in barbwire being lowered on top of the ring.  A flurry of ring technicians speedily work on connecting all of the necessary components to the ring as Jamie Links stands on the arena floor.  Obviously not wanting to step into the ring, she readies her cards as the lineup comes on screen.)


MAIN EVENT
WFW World Heavyweight Championship
Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal

Psycho vs. Felix Red (c)

MARX:  "The defunct WFW never had matches where an exploding ring barbed wire steel cage match has taken place. In fact, with my encyclopedia like memory of history, I can't remember any other leagues in the circuit ever doing one of these either."

JACOBS:  "Actually, Jonathan, New ERA had an electrified exploding cage match between Spectre and Chaos at the very first Destrucity!"

MARX:  "I stand corrected!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "I've only ever seen these matches on tape, I've never witnessed one live."

JACOBS:  "Well, we are about to get our chance, I'm getting word from the ring crew in my ear that they are ready to go, let’s send this down to the ring announcer and get this one underway!"

(CUEUP:  "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne. The masked Psycho comes out slowly to a mixed reaction from the crowd with numerous fans wearing Psycho masks and holding up signs in support. Psycho looks up at the sky and then enters the ring.)

LINKS:  "Introducing first the challenger, standing at 6'2, 225, the former WFW World Heayvweight champion, the former North American Champion, the former BAD World Heavyweight champion.... THE AMERICAN DANGERMAN.... PSYCHO!"

CROWD:  "PSYCHO! PSYCHO! PSYCHO!"

(CUEUP:  "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell and the Kronus Quartet. Felix Red steps through the curtain to a god pop...)

CROWD:  "LET’S GO FELIX!"

(The crowd starts stomping to the chant.)

CROWD:  "LET’S GO FELIX!"

(Felix Red walks down slowly with the belt over his shoulder, taking in the cage and explosives at ringside. Felix Red passes a sign that says "RIP Michael Manson. RIP Felix Red?" as he enters the cage door and enters the ring.)

LINKS:  "AND THE CHAMPION, STANDING AT 6'3, 213 pounds, THE WORLD'S FINEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... "the boy who destroyed the world".... FELIX RED!"

(The referee in his silver riot gear and face mask checks both men for weapons and he calls for the bell.  SFX:  BELL RINGS!)

JACOBS:  "Felix Red and Psycho are circling, cautiously judging how much space is between them and the exploding cage."

MARX:  "A great wrestlers knows where he is in the ring at all times and in this match in particular, they can't afford any mistakes."

"NOT" WATERS:  "You can be cautious all you want, all it takes is one misstep and you'll be in trouble. Psycho has a major disadvantage in this match because he has a lot of top rope moves in his arsenal and he won't be able to do any of them until after the fifteen minute mark when the explosives are turned off."

JACOBS:  "Felix Red GOES FOR A SPIN KICK BUT PSYCHO AVOIDS GETTING TO CLOSE TO HIM! Psycho smirks at Felix."

"NOT" WATERS:  "Psycho knows better to get too close to Felix and those educated feet."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED AND PSYCHO LOCK UP! Psycho puts Felix Red in a side headlock..."

MARX:  "Psycho is trying to establish control on Felix Red. He knows what is at stake in this match and this will most likely be his last chance to challenge for the WFW World Heavyweight championship before the Unification match. As a man who has held the WFW World Heavyweight champion, the WFW North American championship, and was a member of the greatest stable in the history of the WFW, LOVE, there are few finer men who could represent the league against the New ERA World Heavyweight champion whomever he may be after Winter Wonderland."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED TRIES TO PUSH PSYCHO TOWARDS THE CAGE BUT PSYCHO IMMEDIATE DROPS DOWN WITH THE HEADLOCK AND TAKES HIM TO THE MAT!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "Psycho is no fool and he isn't tired enough to try that."

JACOBS:  "Psycho picks Felix Red off the mat and he starts chopping away at the chest of Felix Red! FELIX RED COUNTERS WITH LEG KICKS BACK TO PSYCHO AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE TRADING SHOTS BACK AND FORTH!"

MARX:  "Both men are ripping the hell out of each other."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED IS GAINING THE ADVANTAGE... FELIX RED GRABS THE ARM OF PSYCHO TO WHIP HIM INTO THE EXPLODING CAGE BUT NO! PSYCHO GOES INTO A SLIDE AND AVOIDS COLLIDING WITH THE CAGE!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "Thank god."

JACOBS:  "Psycho gets up and looks over at Felix. Psycho points at Felix and then towards the cage taunting he is going to send him in first.... PSYCHO GETS UP AND HE CHARGES FELIX WITH A SERIES OF RIGHT HANDS AND FELIX GOES DOWN! Psycho mounts Felix and straights raining those rights right into the face of Felix!"

MARX:  "The exploding cage has caused both of these men to cut down their arsenal down to the basic and made this a pier six brawl."

JACOBS:  "FELIX GETS IN A HARD ELBOW TO THE RIBS AND PSYCHO ROLLS OFF OF HIM BUYING HIM SOME RELIEF! A dazed Felix Red gets up and PICKS UP PSYCHO AND LOCKS HIM IN A COBRA TWIST!"

MARX:  "Felix Red is trying to wear him down and while the fifteen minute timer on the explosion is counting down, this match can still continue after that and he wants to tire Psycho out as much as possible."

"NOT" WATERS:  "When you are having trouble breathing, it doesn't matter how good your endurance is."

JACOBS:  "Psycho is trying to fight his way out of it, but Felix Red has it on tight... WAIT, PSYCHO IS FIGHTING BACK.... PSYCHO IS TRYING TO OVER POWER HIM.... PSYCHO FLIPS FELIX OVER AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT, FELIX APPEARS TO HAVE BUMPED HIS HEAD ON THE FALL!"

MARX:  "Psycho kept on fighting and fighting and he finally got him over."

JACOBS:  "Psycho is waiting for Felix Red to get up..... Felix is slowly getting up, trying to gain a sense of where he is.... PSYCHO CHARGES AND HE HITS FELIX RED WITH A YAZUKA KICK AND FELIX RED GOES STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CAGE AND THE EXPLOSIVES GO OFF!"

(THE EXPLOSIVES GO OFF AND A BIG PUFF OF SMOKE AND FLAME COMES UP!)

MARX:  "HOLY SHIT!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "Now that is a kick!"

JACOBS:  "Felix Red is out of it and he appears to have cut himself on the barbed wire on the cage and is bleeding on the side of his arm. Psycho is standing over Felix admiring his handiwork... PSYCHO SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE AND MOTIONS THAT THE CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE HIS!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "There is less than ten minutes left now before the explosions go off. We are around 9:45 left and change."

MARX:  "Felix Red needs to find a way out of this...."

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO IS CALLING FOR THE TIGER DRIVER.... PSYCHO GOES TO PICK HIM UP BUT FELIX RED GRABS THE BOOT STRAPS ON PSYCHO TO PREVENT HIM FROM GETTING HIM UP!"

MARX:  "A desperate act but it got the job done!"

JACOBS:  "A FRUSTRATED PSYCHO TURNS FELIX RED OVER ON HIS BACK AND HE GOES FOR THE PINFALL! The ref goes down to count! 1------------ 2------- FELIX RED GETS HIS SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE THREE!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "Psycho has to stay on him. He is wearing him down."

JACOBS:  "Psycho moves Felix to the center of the ring.... PSYCHO PICKS FELIX RED UP FOR A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER.... AND FELIX USES HIS LEGS TO HITS PSYCHO WITH A HEAD SCISSORS TAKE DOWN!"

MARX:  "Felix felt the championship slipping out of his hands and out of sheer instinct, he is fighting back."

JACOBS:  "FELIX IS UP TO HIS FEET AND A SURPRISED PSYCHO IS TRYING TO GET HIS BAIRINGS... FELIX RED CHARGES PSYCHO AND HE DROP KICKS HIM INTO THE EXPLODING STEEL CAGE!"

(THE EXPLOSIVES GO OFF AND A BIG PUFF OF SMOKE AND FLAME COMES UP!)

MARX:  "Whoa."

"NOT" WATERS:  "We have less than seven minutes left in the match before the explosives around ringside go off."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND PICKS UP PSYCHO.... HE HITS HIM WITH THE ECSTASY TO AGONY! FELIX RED GOES DOWN FOR THE COVER! 1------------------ 2------ PSYCHO KICKS OUT!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "Psycho is one of two men in WFW history who can take that kind of abuse and still find a way to kick out, and the other one, Doc Silver, is retired."

JACOBS:  "Felix Red is looking over at the two sides of the cage that still rigged with explosives and appears to be trying to figure out a way to keep Psycho down for good in order to get a three count."

"NOT" WATERS:  "Felix Red is working on borrow time if he wants to beat the timer until the explosions go off."

JACOBS:  "Felix Red picks up Psycho... HE DROPS HIM GUT FIRST ONTO HIS KNEE!"

MARX:  "He is wearing him down so next time he applies the Ecstasy of the Agony, the pinfall takes."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED IS HOLDING PSYCHO ON HIS KNEE, DRIVING HIM HIS CHEST RIGHT INTO HIS KNEE!"

JACOBS:  "Felix Red lets go and Psycho appears to be trying to catch his breath.... FELIX RED PICKS UP PSYCHO AND HE LOCKS HIM IN A BEAR HUG! HE IS TRYING TO CRUNCH THE RIBS OF PSYCHO WITH EVERYTHING LEFT HE HAS IN THE TANK!"

MARX:  "You can tell all of these moves are having an effect on Psycho. He really looks worn down."

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO IS MAKING A LAST DITCH ATTEMPT TO BREAK FREE... PSYCHO STARTS POUNDING AWAY AT THE HEAD OF FELIX RED WITH PUNCHES TRYING TO GET HIM TO BREAK HIS GRIP BUT FELIX WON'T LET GO!"

MARX:  "There is only so long that Felix Red to can fight off those punches by Psycho, those haymakers from hell itself."

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED IS STARTING TO SLIP, HE LOOKS OVER AT THE CAGE.... FELIX RED PICKS PSYCHO UP SLIGHTLY OFF HIS FEET AND RUNS INTO THE EXPLODING CAGE SACFICING BOTH HIMSELF AND PSYCHO!"

(THE EXPLOSIVES GO OFF AND A BIG PUFF OF SMOKE AND FLAMES COMES UP!)

"NOT" WATERS:  "That was just plain suicidal!"

MARX:  "It gets the job done though."

(THE AIR RAID SIRENS START GOING OFF INDICATING THAT THERE IS LESS THAN THREE MINUTES INTO THE EXPLOSIVES AROUND THE RING GO OFF UNLESS EITHER MAN GETS THE PINFALL.)

"NOT" WATERS:  "Three minutes John. Can either of these men get up in the next three minutes and win this before the explosives go off?"

JACOBS:  "BOTH PSYCHO AND FELIX RED ARE ON THEIR KNEES TRYING DESPERATELY TO GET UP, FULLY CONCIOUS OF HOW LONG IS LEFT IN THE MATCH... THE TWO MEN START TRADING PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO KEEP THE OTHER ONE FROM GETTING UP!"

MARX:  "Both men are ripe for the pickins, it is all matter of which one will get up first and get together some string of offense."

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO ELBOWS FELIX RED IN THE JAW AND FELIX RED GOES DOWN!"

MARX:  "The elbow is one of the hardest bones in the body, if you get stuck in the jaw with it, it can knocks you out cold."

JACOBS:  "A wobbly Psycho is getting back up to his feet.... HE IS CALLING FOR THE TIGER DRIVER AGAIN! He goes to pick up Felix... AND FELIX GRABS PSYCHO'S BOOT STRAPS AGAIN AND AN ANGRY PSYCHO SHOVES FELIX RED DOWN TO THE GROUND!"

MARX:  "Psycho looks like he is ready to snap."

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO SITS DOWN ON THE MAT AND HE STARTS UNDOING BOTH BOOTS AS THE AIR SIRENS GO OFF!"

MARX:  "Less than a minute and a half left before the explosions go off!"

WATERS:  "COME ON PSYCHO!"

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO GRABS HIS BOOT AND HE RAPIDLY STARTS REPEATEDLY SMASHING FELIX RED IN THE HEAD WITH HARD SHOTS BUSTING HIM OPEN! FELIX'S FACE IS A CRIMSON MASK!"

MARX:  "Felix Red is trying to get up despite the shots!"

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO PICKS FELIX RED UP AND HE HITS HIM WITH A JUMPING DDT INTO THE MAT!"

MARX:  "Less than twenty seconds to go!"

JACOBS:  "NOW, PSYCHO IS CALLING FOR THE TIGER DRIVER, PSYCHO IS HOOKING THE ARMS AND FELIX RED REACHES OUT FOR PSYCHO'S LEGS BUT WITHOUT THE STRAPS CAN'T HOLD ON... FELIX RED IS FIGHTING DESPERATELY TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING LIFT UP BY PSYCHO AND HE IS GETTING HIS BLOOD ALL OVER THE MAT!|"

MARX:  "LESS THAN TEN SECONDS TO GO!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "I'm ducking under the desk, you two handle this..."

JACOBS:  "PSYCHO FINALLY GETS HIM UP.... HE HITS HIM WITH THE TIGER DRIVER 91 HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT! PSYCHO RUSHES DOWN TO MAKE THE COVER BUT THE REF SLIPS ON THE BLOOD LEFT ON THE MAT BY FELIX AND NEEDS A SECOND TO REGAIN HIS BALANCE.... THE REF GOES DOWN TO COUNT!"

MARX:  "This is going to be a buzzer beater!"

JACOBS:  "1------------------- 2-------- THE EXPLOSIONS AROUND THE RING GO OFF AND A MUSHROOM CLOUD OF SMOKE TO THE CEILING ENGULFS FREEDOM HALL!"

MARX:  "I can barely see my hands in front of my face and explosion felt like it rocked the building."

JACOBS:  "DID PSYCHO GET THE PIN?! DO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION?!"

MARX:  "The smoke is starting to let up... PSYCHO IS IN THE RING RAISING HIS HAND IN VICTORY!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "HE GOT HIM! PSYCHO IS A TWO TIME WFW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! First Doc, now Felix!"

JACOBS:  "WAIT A SECOND, THE REF GRABS PSYCHO'S ARM AND HE PULLS IT DOWN! HE IS TELLING HIM HE COULDN’T SEE WHETHER OR NOT FELIX RED HAD HIS SHOULDER DOWN SO THE MATCH WILL CONTINUE!"

MARX:  "UH OH, PSYCHO IS IRATE! HE HAS THE REFEREE BY THE THROAT AND HE CHOKING HIM!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "HE HAD HIM! GIVE HIM THE DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP!"

JACOBS:  "Felix Red regaining consciousness and he is getting up... HE SEES PSYCHO'S BOOT AND PICKS IT UP AND HE WACKS PSYCHO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT AND PSYCHO GOES DOWN!"

MARX:  "That got Psycho to let go of the choke, that ref is breathing a sigh of relief right now.

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED GRABS PSYCHO AND HE POSITIONS HIM IN THE RING.... FELIX RED RACES TO THE CORNER AND HE IS CLIMBING UP THE TURNED OFF BARBED WIRE CAGE TO THE TOP...."

MARX:  "If he hits this, it is over!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "NO, IT CAN'T END THIS WAY, COME ON PSYCHO!"

JACOBS:  "FELIX RED FLIES OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE WITH THE SHATTER HORIZON (TWISTING SWANTON)! FELIX RED GOES FOR THE COVER! 1------------------------------ 2----------------- 3!"

LINKS:  "THE WINNER OF THE MATCH.... AND STILL WFW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.... "the boy who destroyed the world" FELIX RED!"

(CUEUP:  "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell and the Kronus Quartet.  The crowd rises to their feet to give both men a standing ovation.)

MARX:  "Felix Red has done it, he has managed to somehow walk out of here the winner of the match and damn, it wasn't easy."

"NOT" WATERS:  "I'm being told by the truck we have another camera angle of the pinfall Psycho had before the explosion where you could see through the dust and while the referee's hand never went down for the three because he was protecting himself from the explosion, Felix Red never got the shoulder up."

JACOBS:  "Felix Red is grabbing his championship and he is getting out of here before Psycho wakes up..."

CROWD:  "PSYCHO! PSYCHO! PSYCHO!"

"NOT" WATERS:  "I may not be the biggest Felix Red fan in the world, but Felix knows to get going while the getting is good."

JACOBS:  "Psycho is rubbing the back of his head and is trying to figure out what just happened. Psycho looks over at the referee and the referee bails out of the ring."

(The crowd gives Psycho a standing ovation and Psycho gives the death stare at both the ref and Felix Red in the aisle.)

MARX:  "Oh boy. This one isn't over, when it will happen again, I don't know, but this is just the beginning."

JACOBS:  "Folks, I'd like to thank you all for joining us this week, we will be back for our Christmas themed Unplugged in Omaha, Nebraska, where we will finally crown the tag team partner of Cameron Cruise when Jason Payne and Problem Child face off for both one half of the WFW:NE World Tag Team Championships and $50,000, A Christmas Tree lot brawl to determine who will win the shot at Cameron Cruise's Television Championship, Steve Johnson will make a BAD World Heavyweight Championship defense AGAINST THE FORMER AND GREATEST BAD WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT JARED WELLS, AND SHAWN HART WILL DEFEND HIS New ERA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST HAL IN A WINTER WONDERLAND MATCH OUTDOORS IN THE SNOW, AT HIS REQUEST, AT THE HENRY DOORLY ZOO!"

MARX:  "Excellent!"

JACOBS:  "I'd like to thank you all for joining us folks and we'll... WAIT A SECOND, WE ARE BEING TOLD SOME COMMOTION IN THE BACK WITH ROCKO DAYMON, LET’S SEND IT TO BACKSTAGE AREA!"


Commotion

(CUTTO: The backstage area, as the camera comes racing around a corner to find "The Undying" Rocko Daymon, still in his Frankenstein-themed ring gear following the Masquerade Battle Royale looming over the senior official.)

OFFICIAL:  "...again, Mr. Daymon, I'm SORRY, but I had to uphold my duty as the senior official of this federation!"

R-DAYMON:  "Well, an apology's not gonna cut it, ref. Do you think I’m stupid? I know when somebody's trying to screw me over, and I think at the very least, I deserve some kind of explanation from you!"

OFFICIAL:  "Look, I had no control over the order whatsoever! It came down directly from the top!"

R-DAYMON:  "...what do you mean, 'From the top?'"

OFFICIAL:  "Well... I don't know, exactly. The agent who gave me the order said they represented the investor from Japan. But nobody's even seen that guy. Instead, they sent one of their representatives, giving us specific instructions to modify the stipulations to your match."

R-DAYMON:  "And you didn't bother to ask WHY?"

OFFICIAL:  "Well, it's not my place to ask why; it's my job to do whatever they say."

R-DAYMON:  "So where is this representative now? I think I'd like to have a chat with him..."

(A shadow falls them as somebody steps in behind the camera.)

VOICE:  "Oh... NOW you want to talk."

(Both men look past the camera, and Rocko's eyes go wide with ABSOLUTE HORROR!! The camera pivots around, and standing there with a wild and murderous look in her eyes is...)

(...CAITLYN DAYMON... ironically dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein. A sinister smile spreads across the face of Rocko's estranged ex-wife and former manager as he stares on in silent horror.)

C-DAYMON:  "Come on... did you really think you could come back here without ME?? After all, I was the one that brought you here... and whether you choose to accept it or not, without me, you would be NOTHING."

(Rocko Daymon squints, perhaps trying to decide whether or not he's hallucinating.)

R-DAYMON:  "...so YOU put the target on my back?"

C-DAYMON:  "That's right. Consider it an act of KARMA... the first of many, I might add."

R-DAYMON:  "And just what authority do you have.."

C-DAYMON:  "You haven't figured it out yet? I'M the representative to this federation's primary investor. The commanding voice of WFW: NE speaks through ME."

R-DAYMON:  "...but why me?"

C-DAYMON:  "We don't have to explain ourselves. Your job is to go in the ring and sell tickets. My job is to make sure everybody is doing their job. When my employers tell me to fly into Hicksville, Kentucky and tell the senior official to alter the stipulations of a match to single out one of the participants, I don't ask why."

(A wry smile crosses her face.)

C-DAYMON:  "But when they fail to mention who, specifically, they WANT to fill that role... I have to get creative."

(Rocko looks as though someone is crushing his nuts. In mock solace, she approaches him and pats his shoulder before dismissing the senior official to get back to his job.)

C-DAYMON:  "Just wanted to say good job out there tonight, babe. I knew you wouldn't let me down. My employers have even MORE ideas for the next show, and, honestly... I think you're just the kind of talent they need right now for what they have in mind."

R-DAYMON:  "...and what do they have in mind?"

(She cackles with evil delight.)

C-DAYMON:  "I hear you're calling yourself 'The Undying' now. Such a tacky name, if you ask me. Well, we'll certainly put it to the test..."

(A switch flips in her head, and the humor turns into MURDEROUS, SNARLING FEROCITY. Rocko's eyes pop wide enough to make one think that below the camera, she literally IS crushing his nuts.)

C-DAYMON:  "Because I am going to KILL YOU a THOUSAND TIMES OVER, you SPINELESS PRICK!!"

(The switch flips again, and with a satisfied smirk, she turns around and heads back for the offices.)

C-DAYMON:  "See you on the road, dear. And remember... you're MY bitch now!"

(Rocko lingers for a moment, standing in absolute disbelief.)

R-DAYMON:  "...damn that crazy bitch..."

(Shaking his head, Rocko turns and exits in the other direction as the camera fades out.)

MARX:  "The devil is a woman in a red dress."

JACOBS:  "GOODNIGHT EVERYONE, WE'LL SEE YOU AT UNPLUGGED!"
