4CW Duskfall - March 7, 2021

4CW Presents… Duskfall
March 7, 2021
Live from Omaha, Nebraska

Phoenix: Ladies and gentlemen, people of all ages, welcome to 4CW DUSKFALL! My name is Scott Phoenix and joining me now is my broadcast partner, the poised and graceful Olivia Ito!
Ito: It’s always a pleasure to work with you, Scott. And tonight is shaping up to be a thunderous show. Wanna tell the viewers what we have in store?
Phoenix: Don’t mind if I do! Tonight, we have an open challenge as Xavier Avana puts his 4CW Custom Cup Championship on the line. Who will accept the challenge? And what will they have to offer ala the Ante Up stipulation?
Ito: Big questions, and another big one is who will leave tonight the 4CW Franchise Champions? Hyperdrive are set to defend the title in a 3-on-3 match tonight versus The Janiturs, after Janitur’s big victory at Janiturial Justice against Dirk Meyer!
Phoenix: And if all of that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, how about this: Match 6 of the Best of Seven Series between Lindon Jett and Grant Zaiden! Grant Zaiden is up 3-2 so if he wins tonight, the series is all over! And this match, as chosen by Zaiden himself, will be a Chained Fury match!
Ito: That match will certainly be brutality personified!

”You Ain’t Ready” by Skillet hits the PA system. The crowd pops as the reigning 4CW Custom Cup Champion comes through the curtain, looking fired up!

Carson: The following contest is an OPEN CHALLENGE Ante Up match for the 4CW Custom Cup Championship! Introducing the 4CW Custom Cup Champion, weighing in at 230lbs … XAVIER … AVANAAAA!!

Phoenix: Avana won the Custom Cup Championship last October and since then has taken on challenges from Witch Hazel and Tommy Young, two former champions in their own rights.
Ito: And this Ante Up stipulation really amps up the pressure on the opponent, which is a genius move from Avana! For a rookie, he’s pretty smart!
Phoenix: And that comes as no surprise when you realise 4CW’s first-ever second generation star is the son of Hall of Famer Jacob Scharff.

Avana gets into the ring, and awaits his opponent, whoever it may be. There’s a few moments of silent tension as Avana’s music cuts, broken only by the buzz of the crowd.

Then, ”Step” by Ministry hits the PA system and out comes, to a respectable pop, DIRK MEYER. Meyer has a mic in hand.

Meyer: I’ll save you the trouble of explaining, Xavier. I’m pretty observant, and I’ve been watching you. So, I accept your challenge.

Xavier looks him up and down, and raises his eyebrow, insinuating what he has to offer. You see Dirk look towards the crowd, before he falls to a knee, and starts unbuckling his boot.

Meyer: We all know what you’re thinking. Without a family I have no fancy heirlooms, and there’s no belt around my waist, but I do have my career to put on the line.

Meyer lifts his boot off the mat holding it out to Xavier, as a symbol of his career. The crowd is apprehensive about this and gives a mixed reaction. In the ring, Avana seems unresponsive to the mixed reaction.

Meyer: Well, I guess that isn’t convincing enough, so I’ll be on my way.

Meyer turns away to walk out of the ring.

Phoenix: He’s just leaving? He’s turning around - look out!

Meyer pivots on one foot, his boot in hand running towards Xavier to blindside him, Xavier sees him coming and ducks, he turns around ready to swing as Meyer, but he’s already powdered out of the ring. Xavier looks to the crowd, and points at Dirk Meyer at ringside they let out a loud cheer. Meyer grabs the mic back from the ring announcer. 

Meyer: Looks like we have a match?

Meyer puts his boot back on and starts lacing it up again at ringside.

Phoenix: Well, what a shocking development! Dirk Meyer has accepted Avana’s challenge and is putting his wrestling career on the line!

Ito: Shocking, indeed - but it goes to show how much this championship means to the 4CW roster. Holding it is a great honour, we’ll have this match right after this commercial break!

==

Dirk Meyer, now fully booted, is in the ring with Xavier Avana. The bell rings and the two clash in the middle of the ring as we come back from the commercial.

Meyer comes in strong and quickly takes control of the match using his veteran instincts to outwit Avana in the opening exchanges. Meyer continues to control the match with a suplex and a snapmare into a dropkick. Meyer gets a two count from his quick cover. The matches continues like this for a few minutes, with Avana mounting a comeback, only for Meyer to get the upper hand and score another near fall.

Avana finally breaks through after about five minutes, reversing Meyer’s Full Nelson neckbreaker into a DDT of his own and then a Northern Lights Suplex, getting a near fall of his own. The two continue to go back and forth, highlights Meyer hitting the Hook, Line and Sinker (double underhook Famouser) for the nearest fall yet and Avana coming back with a Bent Outta Shape (Helluva Kick) for another close count.

The fans get behind them as the match rolls into its tenth minute. Meyer escapes from Avana’s grip and rolls him up for a two count. Avana immediately goes to the ropes and returns with a dropkick to the seated Meyer. Two count. Meyer rolls into the corner and eats a Phoenix Egg (Cannonball) from Avana. Avana goes up top to set up for the Burn Out (Shooting Star DDT).

Meyer gets to his feet but before Avana can strike he runs forward and falls into the ropes, causing Avana to fall from the top and crash to the mat. Meyer grabs Avana and sets up for The Eclipse - but no! Avana comes to life - DDT!! He goes up top, and waits patiently for Meyer to get up as the crowd are electric with approval. Avana hits the Burn Out with aplomb and pins Meyer! ONE … TWO … THREE!!

Carson: Here is your winner and STILL 4CW CUSTOM CUP CHAMPION … XAVIER … AVANA!!

Win-Loss Records
Xavier Avana 2-0
Dirk Meyer 0-3

Phoenix: Xavier Avana with the win after a hard-earned title defense!
Ito: But not to overshadow Avana’s win here, I think the bigger story is now Dirk Meyer is out of the job!
Phoenix: He certainly is! I can’t imagine how he’s feeling right now!

Inside the ring, Xavier Avana raises his arm in victory. He then looks over at Meyer, who is recovering. He grabs Meyer and pushes him up against the turnbuckle. Then, Avana offers his hand. Meyer shakes it. Avana then rolls out of the ring, giving Meyer the spotlight.

The crowd realises what this means for Dirk Meyer’s 4CW career and starts chanting “THANK YOU MEYER!!”. Meyer looks gutted as we cut to our next break.

Erica Moxie is walking through the backstage area when we return. Suddenly, Zephyris of The Black Flame flies into the view of the camera, smashing into Moxie and attacking her.

Phoenix: Zephyris is attacking like a rabid dog!

Indeed he is, but it’s not long before Moxie gains control with a few well-landed right hooks. She throws Zephyris into the wall.

Moxie: Congratulations Zeph! You win! What’s your prize? Me. In the ring. Tonight.

Moxie storms off before the dazed Zephyris can even respond. We cut back to the ring and it has had a makeover! The ring ropes are now made of steel chains. The turnbuckles are exposed and no longer have padding of any kind. The referee holds a long chain with a wristband on either side.

Carson: The following contest is MATCH SIX in the BEST OF SEVEN SERIES. It is a CHAINED FURY match scheduled for one fall! Both competitors will be linked by a steel chain at the wrist! The only ways to win this match are by pinfall, submission or knockout!

”Creatures of Habit” by Polaris hits the PA system. The crowd cheers as Jett steps out onto the stage.

Carson: Introducing first, from Brisbane, Australia, weighing in at 247lbs … FULL GEAR … LINDOOOOON … JETT!!

Phoenix: Lindon Jett is on a mission tonight! Put simply, he must win tonight or he will lose the series!
Ito: He got off to such a great start in this series, winning the first two matches - but now he’s on a three-match losing streak! Can he break the curse?

Jett comes down the ramp and slides into the ring. He then goes into the corner, investigating the chain ropes and exposed turnbuckles.

”Into Nothing” by Bleed From Within hits the PA system. The crowd boos as Jett’s arch rival, Zaiden, steps out onto the stage.

Carson: And his opponent, from Charlton, England, weighing in at 260lbs… THE RED RHINO … GRANT … ZAAAAAAIDEN!!

Zaiden marches down to the ring, pointing and mouthing something at Jett as he does so. He looks around the unique ring set-up, an unreadable expression.

Phoenix: Zaiden is in a great position tonight, with a win here being enough to earn him the series - but a match like this, even one that he himself chose, has to make any man nervous. Chain ropes, exposed turnbuckles, and of course the fact both of these men will be attached at the wrist by a steel chain!

The referee sets up the steel chain, cuffing it onto the wrists of both men. It is about six foot long, enough for them to stand roughly on two sides of the ring with the referee in the middle. Since this match has little to no rules, referee Jason Trent decides to immediately call for the bell.

The match begins with both men fighting a tug of war with the steel chain, in an attempt to overpower the other and gain the first advantage. Zaiden is able to do this with the extra weight on his side and brings in Jett close for a belly to belly suplex. Zaiden continues to use this advantage to dominate the next few minutes, sending Jett away then yanking him back with the chain for some short-arm moves such as a DDT and a clothesline.

Jett starts to fight back after reversing a suplex attempt into one of his own. Before Zaiden can recover, he jumps on his back and chokes him out with the steel chain. This allows Jett to take control of the match. Jett focuses his attacks on Zaiden in the corner. He hits a dropkick, which leaves Zaiden with a welt on his back from the exposed turnbuckle.

Zaiden fights off Jett and switches positions so that he is attacking Jett in the corner. He bashes Jett’s head into the exposed turnbuckle, busting him open. He then launches Jett face first into the steel chain ropes. Zaiden continues to dominate, taking out a Jett on the comeback with a lifting seated powerbomb to score a near fall.

Zaiden sets up Jett for The Last Stop (short-arm lifting inverted STO) but Jett gets out of it. Jett hits a gnarly uppercut, then slides behind Zaiden and dropkick him in the back. Zaiden bashes his head on the exposed turnbuckle, then hits the Broken Barriers (slingblade). Zaiden, now groggy and busted open himself, falls victim to Jett locking in the Black Box (Cattle Mutilation). Zaiden has nowhere to go and taps out!!

Carson: Here is your winner … LINDOOOOON … JETT!!

Win-Loss Records:
Lindon Jett 1-2
Grant Zaiden 2-1

Phoenix: After three losses in a row, Jett has finally gotten back on track!
Ito: And that leads us into the seventh and final match of the series, the decider! As of when it will take place, and what that match will be … I guess we’ll have to just wait and see!
Phoenix: A savage and brutal clash tonight! Only one match left in the series and we’re all even at 3-3!

Quentin Cosmo stands in a darkened room, illuminated by something blue hanging on the wall, out of focus.

Cosmo: The last few months have been a bit confusing for me. But I beat Robert Crow… and then I beat Murder of Crows. I’m coming for the 4CW Hardcore Title and I’m taking it at Revival. Because now… I know what I have to do.

The camera focuses on the blue glow from behind to reveal tights with blue lights down the legs. We cut back to the ring.

Carson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

”Antivist” by Bring Me The Horizon hits the PA system.

”Black Flame” by Bury Tomorrow hits the PA system. To a chorus of boos, out comes Zephyris, flanked by both Bruce Rigg and Garret Fischer.

Carson: Introducing first, representing The Black Flame, and being accompanied by The Liberation… ZEPHYRIS!!

Phoenix: Of course Zephyris comes out for this match tonight surrounded by allies.
Ito: It does speak volumes that he is unable to come out to face Moxie one on one tonight.

”Antivist” by Bring Me The Horizon hits the PA system. The crowd pops LOUD as hometown hero Erica Moxie storms down the ramp, raring to go.

Carson: And his opponent, from OMAHA, NEBRASKA, weighing in at 160lbs, ERICAAAAAA … MOXIE!!

Ito: Omaha is here and ready to let Erica Moxie know it!
Phoenix: Moxie is ready to kick some ass tonight, right from her hometown! I don’t know if I’d want to be Zephyris right about now!

Moxie gets into the ring, paying little to no attention to The Liberation, who are lurking at ringside. Referee Anna Molly quickly goes through the pre-match checks, then calls for the bell.

This is less of a match and more of a mauling. After thirty seconds straight of strikes and slaps from Moxie to Zephyris in the corner she finally relents, only to drop him with a big DDT for an early near fall. Zephyris fights back with early offense consisting of a few left hands and a lariat, getting a two count.

But that quickly becomes the most threatening Zephyris becomes. Moxie reverses a clothesline attempt with one of her own. She throws caution to the wind with a suicide dive to The Liberation on the outside, then comes back in and finishes off Zephyris with the Moxie Massacre DDT!! ONE … TWO … THREE!!

Carson: Here is your winner… ERICA … MOXIE!!

Win-Loss Records:
Erica Moxie 2-1
Zephyris 0-1

Phoenix: A well deserved victory for Erica Moxie tonight, building her momentum after the betrayal she suffered last month!
Ito: And it goes without saying Erica Moxie has not forgotten about Rhys Cain - speak of the devil, here he is!!

Rhys Cain is in the middle of the ring, behind Moxie. She realises a little too late and turns around right into a DRAGON RAGE!! Moxie goes down and Cain smirks as he sees Moxie laid out at his hands. He brushes his hands off and rolls out of the ring.

Phoenix: Good job, Cain! Really proved your point there...

==

Carson: The following six-person contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the 4CW Franchise Championship!

”Ding Dong Song” by Gunther hits the PA system. The 4CW veteran Janitur comes out on stage with his mop and bucket, and accompanied by the towering JANISTAR and Jani-Her, who is distinguishable from Janitur only in that she is a woman.

Carson: Introducing first, the challengers, the team of JANITUR, JANISTAR and JANI-HER … THE JANITURS!!

”Roadgame” by Kavinsky hits the PA system and out come the trio now holding the 4CW Franchise Championship to a considerable pop from the crowd.

Carson: And their opponents, they are the 4CW Franchise Champions, the team of Kinzy Kane, Reuben Kojo and Devon Drummond… HYPERDRIVE!!

Phoenix: And here come the champions. Kinzy Kane recently teamed with Pilgrim Paige to take on Umbra Maxima for the Tag Team Titles, but they were unsuccessful. Tonight, she has to put that aside to focus on Hyperdrive retaining the Franchise Title!
Ito: Reuben Kojo and Devon Drummond look as focused as ever, and I’m sure Kinzy Kane is too, who has been nothing but impressive since coming to 4CW!

Hyperdrive get into the ring. On opposing corners, Reuben Kojo decides to start the match with his opponent being JANISTAR. Referee Jason Trent calls for the bell.

This match never really gets into the swing of things due to a supposed interference moments into the match. After an early exchange between Kojo and JANISTAR that resulted in Kojo taking the brunt of the blows and tagging in Drummond, suddenly the tron comes to life and ”Taking You Down” by Egypt Central plays through the PA system. Immediately, the somewhat tired Kojo and Kinzy jump off the apron and prepare themselves for an ambush by Umbra Maxima… but none comes! In the distraction, JANISTAR is able to smash Drummond in the jaw with a sudden, knockout punch! JANISTAR makes the cover and Kinzy slides into the ring a second too late. ONE … TWO … THREE!!

Carson: Here are your winners and the NEW 4CW Franchise Champions… THE JANITURS!!

Win-Loss Record:
Kinzy Kane 3-1
Reuben Kojo 1-1
Devon Drummond 1-1
Janitur 2-0
JANISTAR 1-0
Jani-Her 1-0

Phoenix: I don’t believe it! It’s over!
Ito: Umbra Maxima clearly planned to do this because of Kinzy and Paige almost beating them at Declaration!
Phoenix: You’re likely right, Olivia, but the fact is Umbra Maxima have just turned the momentum in their own corner a bit here. Kinzy and Synth City Thrillers have just lost the Franchise Title!
Ito: And one has to give credit to The Janiturs. They didn’t have to do much, but JANISTAR knew to take advantage of a distracted opponent, like any savvy veteran would!

Kinzy and Synth City are halfway up the ramp, furious at what has happened. Inside the ring JANISTAR lifts the title up high as the crowd cheer for The Janiturs.

“Supernova Goes Pop” by Powerman 5000 hits the PA system and you can almost hear a collective “sigh” from the entire arena, despite the theme music blaring. Julian MagneZ emerges and is quickly followed by Mike Kim. The two walk out to the top of the ramp, standing side by side.

Phoenix: Wonderful. Here comes our “fearless” leader and champion for a chat. And speaking of people coming in for a chat, we’re joined for this last part of the show by my Storm Front colleagues, James Roberts and Ray Jeffrey! How are you fellas?
Roberts: I’m hyped! And I’m wondering why Jack Valentine requested this time tonight!
Jeffrey: And what a great way to join the show by jumping in to hear what Valentine has to say.
Roberts: Speaking of which, why is he out here? He’s not on my program.
Jeffrey: The champion does not need to be on the program, James. He is the top dog by far. He has the key to do whatever he wants, when he wants, with anything 4CW related. Oh, hi Olvia, might I say you look absolutely exquisite tonight?
Ito: You may not.
Jeffrey: Playing hard to get… I love it.

MagneZ and Kim simultaneously turn and open up a path between them. The pyros shoot off at an alarming rate and then cease. Jack Valentine finally arrives on the stage and holds his 4CW Undisputed Championship high above his head for all to see. He’s dressed head to toe in his usual Corporate CEO over the top get up. He turns to the left and then to right, holding at all angles and for much too long. He eventually drops the belt back down to his shoulders and marches forward through his lackeys and down the ramp. They follow like the President’s secret service. Close, but yet far enough back so that Valentine looks like he’s alone on the red carpet.

Roberts: This is unbearable.
Jeffrey: Your analysis night in and night out, is unbearable.

Valentine slowly ascends the ring steps as the crowd gets louder with the jeers. Mike Kim then takes off around the ring towards the official timekeeper. He grabs a microphone and then quickly slides into the ring. MagneZ hopped onto the ring apron and sat on the middle rope to make Valentine’s entrance as easy as possible. Once inside, he holds up the title one more time and does a slow but full 360. He hands off the title to MagneZ and he folds it up and tucks it securely under his arm. Kim hands off the mic and the music cuts out. Valentine turns to the crowd and raises the noise maker to his lips. He goes to speak and a loud chorus of Boos flood in from as far back as the upper rafters. Valentine grins and looks around, waiting as long as it takes. He attempts again and to the same result. He powers through, albeit still grinning.

Valentine: You all are gonna wanna hear this.

Jeffrey: Disrespectful runts!

The crowd continues for a bit longer and then eventually dies out. Valentine ceases his chance.

Valentine: I promise! I promise I won’t waste too much time tonight! No listing of the accomplishments. No telling you how I am the greatest and longest reigning 4CW World Champion of all time. How I will be headlining back to back Revivals. Or how I am the only 4CW original. The best looking, most well-spoken, strongest, smartest, most athletic, and most importantly for tonight! Devious!

Phoenix: Oh we knew you were already devious. You’d sell your own mother if it meant keeping that belt!

Valentine: As we all know. I will yet again be facing…..Brian White.

Huge pop for the mention of The Freight Train!

Valentine: YAWN! I’m sure that’s all the 4CW Universe wants to see. Jack Valentine, beat the crap out of the same guy, he’s been beating the crap out of for years now. Because as we all know, there are three things certain in our life time. Death! Taxes! And Valentine over White! Mad Dog over the Freight Train! Old over New. I don’t know how many times we have to see this. And at the biggest event of the year mind you. Well, I’m sorry 4CW Universe. There is nothing I can do about Revival. I will have to derail the train….yet again! However! However, I have a plan to save all of us.

Ito: Oh boy. Here we go.

Valentine: I vow to you all, that I will once and for all end, Valentine vs. White. No. I will not be trapping him in a coffin and burning him alive, like something Inferno or Carstein would claim. I’m not going to pull some strings or manipulate the powers at be, to get him fired, ala Rhys Cain or Sery. And no, I’m not going to stalk his life, make dolls that look like him, and dress up in funny outfits to mess with his psyche. Why? Because I am worse than all of that! I have stooped to a whole new low! And I did it for business. I always do what’s best for business.

Phoenix: For not wanting to waste time, I feel like this build up is really starting to drag on.
Jeffrey: I haven’t been this excited since the last Matrix trailer dropped!
Roberts: That was like last week….

Valentine: Allow me to take you back to the last Duskfall. Eyes on the Titantron, dim the lights!

The titantron comes to life and we’re treated to a previous segment with Brian White and Tommy Young.

“Cameraman: Brian! How are you feeling with the wedding coming up?

Brian and Tommy stop and turn.

Brian: Well, preparations are going well. I’m getting excited I suppose. You’d really have to ask Teri to be fair! Hehehe!

Both men chuckle at the thought of Miss Teri in organising mode.

Brian: Come to think of it, she’s been gone a while now… She was only going to get some more water bottles.

Brian looks at Tommy, who looks perplexed as he shakes his head. Brian puts his hand in front of a runner as she passes.

Brian: Have you seen Teri anywhere?
Runner: Sorry sir, not since the three of you arrived earlier today…

The runner looks from one man to the other, noting the slowly growing worry in their faces.

Runner: Er, I’ll keep an eye out for her, if you want?

Brian nods his thanks, and the runner carries on with her errand.

Tommy: Yeah, me too. You better go look for her. I gotta get going…”

Valentine: Where could little old Miss Teri be!? Wait! There’s more!

“White: TERI!! WHERE ARE YOU TERI?!

White’s bellow echoes back at him and a head pokes out of a side passage in surprise.

White: YOU! Have you seen Miss Teri?
Man: Sorry Mr White, I haven’t.
White: FUCK!!

White grabs a chair against the wall and throws it down the hall, where it lies in a broken heap. The man quickly pops his head back in as White begins jogging past, shouting for Miss Teri as he goes.

Phoenix: Brian White is getting really concerned about Miss Teri!
Ito: I sure hope she’s alright!

===

White makes it to the underground parking lot, practically in a frenzy.

White: TERI!! ARE YOU DOWN HERE?!

White rushes out into the lot towards the ramp, eyes darting left and right. Suddenly he sees something off in the shadows and runs towards it.

White: FUCK!! TERI!!

White skids to a halt next to the unconscious body of Miss Teri. He falls to his knees and scoops her up in his arms and brushes her hair from her face.

White: Teri! Oh god, Teri! You’re ok now, I gotcha…

Miss Teri coughs and her eyes flutter slowly open.

Miss Teri: Brian? What? Where am I? What happened?

White lifts her up in his arms as he stands and heads back to the dressing rooms, Miss Teri’s head resting on his chest.

White: I dunno babe, someone’s playing silly buggers. But we’ll find out…”

Valentine: There seems to have been a glitch in the matrix here. What happened between the beginning and end of the show? And why does Miss Teri, apparently have no recollection of anything??? And more importantly, why wasn’t Jack Valentine, the 4CW Undisputed Champion, on the card at all? Not even an interview?!

The crowd begins to murmur.

Phoenix: Something nefarious is afoot here fellas.
Roberts: I have a real bad feeling about this.
Jeffrey: I’ve never been more excited in my life!

The titantron comes back to life and we are treated to a flurry of pictures. The pictures all tell a story. Miss Teri walking alone backstage, but someone is clearly following her, hence the pictures. She arrives at a case of water bottles. Then she’s seen gulping one down. She carries several more away. Then she’s laid out on the pavement backstage.

The crowd gasps! Valentine can be seen grinning, even with the ring dimly lit. The photos continue.

Phoenix: He didn’t!

The next picture is of a passed out Miss Teri in an unknown location, next to Jack Valentine, as he poses with his tongue out for the camera. Right above their heads, is a neon sign that says “Fight Island: Get Ordained Today!” The next picture is Julian MagneZ walking out of a room with his “Credentials of Ministry” certificate in hand and posing for the camera with Valentine. The following is Mike Kim holding up an unconscious Miss Teri, as she stands next to Valentine and before MagneZ. MagneZ wears a white sheet with the head cut out and a poorly drawn cross on the front. Valentine with a silly looking Chip and Dale’s male stripper bow tie.

The next picture looks to be Miss Teri coming back around and Valentine forcing a gaudy cheap looking ring on her finger. MagneZ looks to have the Bible he’s holding upside down. The next has Miss Teri facing Valentine, with the back of her head being held by Mike Kim. MagneZ’s hands are up in the air, like he’s celebrating.

And Jack Valentine is planting a big ole kiss on Miss Teri! There’s one final picture of a vehicle driving off with “Just Married” written on the back. Then the lights come back on as the titantron shuts off.

There’s an uncomfortable silence as Valentine looks around at the crowd. He then holds up his left hand and there’s clearly a wedding ring on his ring finger. He essentially flips off the crowd with it and they respond with a barrage of booing and yelling.

Jeffrey: Oh my God, he actually did it.
Roberts: There’s got to be a lawsuit coming. This is bad.
Phoenix: I don’t think Valentines is going to be half as concerned with a lawsuit, as he will be with Brian White.

Valentine suddenly holds up his left hand and right on his ring finger is a bright shiny wedding band.

He holds his finger out to show the crowds but also to simulate giving everyone the middle finger. He walks to the ropes and holds the finger down over the ropes so a passing cameraman can get a close up.

Valentine: Hold it steady! I want my dear old friend in the back to get a good look!

Valentine pulls his arm back and turns toward the stage, eyes glued to the stage, waiting.

Valentine: That’s right! The most eligible bachelor to ever set foot in the squared circle, is hitched!!!! And he got hitched to the beautiful, the luscious, the amazing! Miss…..Teri!!!!!! Now correct me if I’m wrong.

Brian White has emerged from backstage and marches down the ramp with a tearful Miss Teri pulling at his arm to wait.

Valentine: But that would mean, Miss Teri is NOT Miss Teri White……but instead Miss Teri Valentine! Your marriage is a fake!

White slides into the ring, MagneZ and Mike Kim step forward. Valentine holds his finger up for White to wait, but anger overtakes him.

Valentine: Just one second big fella!

White takes another step forward and Kim charges. White pivots and swiftly connects with a haymaker to the forehead. Kim instantly drops and grabs his head, rolling away. MagneZ watches Kim crumble and then locks onto White. He takes two steps forward, but is almost instantly driven down into the mat hard with short range but effective Spear! MagneZ holds his gut, rolls away, and out of the ring. Miss Teri has now made her way into the ring and stands between Valentine and White. She holds out her arms in protest. Her lips looks to be mouthing something along the lines of “Don’t ruin your opportunity!” “Just wait!”

Valentine: Stand back Brian, or I’ll withdraw my offer. And you’ll want to hear this. It’s a doozie!

White, breathing heavily, stops and looks down at Miss Teri. Then back to Valentine. He sports a look of anger, frustration, and pain. He glares as Valentine.

Valentine: You don’t lay a finger on me until Revival. I have a contract written up that you and I will sign next week. There’s many stipulations, so don’t do anything stupid or you lose it all. I’ll have the two of you tied up in court for years to come. You’ll lose your title shot and potentially even your job! I’m offering you a winner take all opportunity at Revival, but you got to keep yourself in check until then. I repeat, don’t do anything stupid. Your wife…..or should I say my wife, has been informed. She is to stay by her husband’s side until a winner is declared, and she knows how fragile this offer is. She also knows how important and rare of an offer this is! So you stay put! You stay quiet! And you stay the hell away from me until showtime. Next show, you and I will sign and I’ll fill you in on every little juicy detail. But this will finish things between us once and for all. Don’t you lay a finger on me, Brian!

Miss Teri nods with everything Valentine says. With every word. Tears pouring down her face, she begs him to comply. Valentine drops the mic and walks towards White. The two men stand face to face. Teri stands right next to her man, hands on his shoulders, she pleads. Valentine sadistically grins and gets nearly nose to nose with White. He suddenly spits right into White’s face as the crowd reacts with a gasp.

White pulls back his arm and Valentine flinches, but Miss Teri holds his arm back whaling! He fights it for a second and then lets his clenched fist go soft again. He drops his arm again. The anger is leaving his face and is replaced with a deeply saddened look. Valentine relaxes and gets back in White’s face. He can barely be heard, but never-the-less heard “That was too close Brian! I said DONT DO ANYTHING STUPID!” Then suddenly Valentine cracks his Championship belt across the face of Brian White and he drops to the mat. The crowd pours in the boos. Valentine flips the title onto his shoulder and exits the ring. Miss Teri drops to her knees over White. She sobs uncontrollably and then she hears him. “Let’s go Mrs. Valentine. NOW!”

She turns and looks at him. Then back to White. Then she slowly gets up and exits the ring. Valentine holds out his hand and Miss Teri begrudgingly takes it. Valentine essentially drags her up the ramp as she looks back at White. White looks back at her, helpless.

Phoenix: Wow. The audacity of that man! To stoop that low!
Roberts: This is too personal. It shouldn’t get like this.
Ito: I just feel so terrible for Miss Teri!
Jeffrey: On the contrary maybe it wasn’t personal enough!
Roberts: You’re an idiot, Ray! This isn’t funny!
Phoenix: I’m having trouble describing what we’ve just witnessed. Jack Valentine will truly do whatever it takes, to put the odds in his favor. He is a monster. We’ve seen Brian White, go from the happiest man on the planet, to the saddest. And it’s only been a few short weeks. I dread what that contract is going to say.

White is laid out in the middle of the ring, while Valentine and Miss Teri walk up the ramp together. Miss Teri keeps looking back at White, clearly horrified at her predicament. From the crowd area, Young hops over the barricade and rolls into the ring to check on White. He looks up at Valentine on top of the ramp who has the biggest shit-eating grin on his face as we fade to black.
