(GM The Rick is STARING~! directly into the eyes of Concrete TG. And there's no romance there)
GMtR: This isn't something I expect from you, Crete.
CTG: Rick, this war has gone on for far too long.
GMtR: No shit
CTG: Please, Commissioner, hear me out. I will get one thing out of the way before I explain why I am really here. Moosehead Jack has made a demand for a match between me and Stank, and he wishes to be the referee.
GMtR: You're well aware that that match could be a trap.
CTG: I'm expecting it. but the metch is necessary - to prove Moose wrong about this whole "Bounty" business.
GmtR: Done. Now, about the Real Reason you're here....
CTG: Moosehead Jack has done more damage to our Team and attempted to destroy my reputation for too long. I think that it's time I silence him once and for all.
GMtR: We all know that Moose is all talk and his M.O. is to try to get rid of you. This is old news, Crete.
CTG: Perhaps, but Moose has been attempting to chip away with me even before my departure from OOWF last year. As I recall it, I left with your blessing to pursue championship gold in the most prestigous wrestling organization on the planet. I had been hand-picked by Vince McMahon to be the one to unseat Randy Orton and become a champion that the wrestling world could appreciate. There was NEVER a question of my loyalty to this company, and I honored my PRomise to you - at great professional cost - to save you from the one man capable of destroying this company. Moose is more dangerous than Bennett's money amd legal wrangling or any three of Team Bennett's soldiers and their respective abilities.
Moose continues to dig up the remnants of Sterling Glaw's overzealous altruism that Glaw HIMSELF has admitted was not of any machination of the Heroes Guild! Then again, Moose strikes me as someone who would dig up dead horses so he can whip them with impunity.
GMtR: Then how about YOU stop beating on those horses as well?
CTG: Fine. I want a match against Moose at the Anniversary show
GMtR: WHAT DID I JUST FUCKING SAY???
CTG: (Slams his hands on the desk) THIS TIME YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME, RICK!
GMtR: !!!!!!
CTG: At the Anniversary show, Moose and I are going to have a match - one that will make Moose salivate in anticipation, and a match that I have carefully constructed to make sure that one way or another, we will be finished, The End. Fini. Endgame. Ragnarok. 3 stages that Hell wishes it could have as its own.
GMtR: ... I'm listening
CTG: Stage ONE - no rules, Submissions only. We start by stretching the joints and bending limbs in new ways. You will hear screams of defiance and anger add we go until someone surrenders
Stage TWO - These fans deserve to have a hand in our fates! Let them bring any weapon they wish - and we will bloody each other to a pinfall.
GMtR: Things we've done before, you're not impressing me.
CTG: Then we have stage three, and you KNOW it'll come to that! The third stage, this final ring of absolute darkest, bloodiest hell that even Abdullah the Butcher wouldn't walk into. This is The Prison of Stygian - no simple cage, Rick! (CTG unrolls a blueprint)
GMtR: (looking it over) I don't know if we have the budget for this..... what is all this crap?
CTG: For this Prison I want a new set of ropes coated with broken glass! I want a cage woven from barbed wire and towing chains and dusted with acid! I want a scaffold made from rusted steel and enough metal and glass encrusted weapons to make Sabu weep with childhood memories! I need gallons of gasoline or lighter fluid to see some of it burn! There will be blood, there will be sweat, there will be tears, there wil be carnage! And if that doesn't finish it, there will be a timed C-4 charge somewhere in this PRison that will make SURE there is an ending one way or another. And when the dust and snoke clear from this battle, there will be one man still standing.... and if Justice is to be finally served, IT WILL BE ME.
GMtR: Moose will never agre.........well ok, yeah HE will, but there is NO WAY I can sanction this!
CTG: you're going to sanction this because if you don't, I will be happy to let the WWE lawyers talk to you about my breach of contract!
GMtR: .......are you.........are you threatening me?
CTG: This is no threat - this is something I have been quietly trying to deal with on my own. WWE has a very strong argument about bringing me back because my abrupt departure was nothing more than "A Storyline". At this point it becomes a matter of reputation, Rick - I'm keeping Moose from trying to ruin mine, and I'm willing to keep yours intact by keeping them at bay. They get their hands on you and you will be the laughingstock of the wrestling world. I get the WWE job back and you will be on your knees in front of LJ Bennett with no one to save you- how will THAT play with your reputation?
GMtR: Look, Crete, I appreciate what you are saying, even if I don't like it, but you know damn well, that if I sanction this kind of match, neither of you will ever be the same again, and then what good are you to me? And even better, where does this stop? Let's say you win, do you really think that will stop Moose? He will just charge in here and demand an even more insane match
CTG: Neither one of us will be the same again because one of three things will happen.... Moose will surrender unconditionally to me because I have dragged him to hell and back, and perhaps he will realize the error of his ways; I will be destroyed, and having been unable to defeat the one man who has stood in my way for so long , I should walk away from this business and return to Florida and find work; or we are both dead and our part of the war will be over. It's a risk I know Moose is willing to take.
GMtR: No, not good enough. I already know Moose is a sick bastard and he will be back for more. And I am beginning to have my suspicions about you. I want it in writing. This is it. This is the last match. If I don't get SOME kind of guarantee for SOME length of time, I am not even considering it
CTG: Fine, for your conscience you can call Legal and get whatever documentation you want that'll satisfy your side of this match. But I can guarantee you: you're not going to need it. If this doesn't end our differences, NOTHING will.
GMtR:And then what? You know damn well neither of you will walk away from this. I cannot have a double homicide in the ring
CTG: There's a waiver for that, too, you know. It's very simple, Rick - I can't pull any more punches when it comes to Moose. I have had to construct this prison to HIS standards - and those are pretty damn high when it comes to combat. Unless his life is at stake you know he won't take it seriously.
GMtR: Is it really to Moose's standards Crete? Or are you doing this for revenge? You know, I remember when you would not stoop to this. I have watched this feud over the years. Crete, before you decide you have to have this match, think for a moment. When this started, this was all about Moose trying to get you to play his game. For years, you refused to play his game, you stuck to your way, you INSISTED on doing it your way. Now, look at you, you are obsessed with a bloodlust that, quite honestly, I would expect from Moose. Who is really winning this?
CTG: In the end, the entire OOWF could win from this - this is a war that we've seen people go to some exceptional lengths to gain advantages and leverage for their side. What I'm doing is dropping the Atom Bomb. What will remain will be a company looking at itself and realizing that this is one war that HAS to end. Instead of seeing the entire company go down in flames and leaving 40+ talented individuals without the OOWF, I make this sacrifice to shine a light on the darkest shadow of Team Bennett to show them that we MUST end this. Better the two of us than the entire company - and THAT is loyalty you'll never see from anyone else here. Who on our team is willing to put their principles, their life - their very SOUL for the sake of seeing something they love continue to flourish? I am no martyr - I am a man who wants this war to end, and when it comes to "By any means necessary" a Hero steps up to that with zero hesitation. I hesitate, Moose eats me alive. I stand up to him and he will crawl away into the shadows and hope that his bones knit.
GMtR: So in other words, I'm Not Allowed to say "No", am I?
CTG: Not this time, Rick. For the sake of the OOWF, you can't.
GmtR: Fine. I am still not sold on this Crete, the risk, for both of you, is just too much. But I know if I don't, someone will, and this will be big. Four years of hate has built to this
CTG: And if I'm right, Rick, this will end the war... even if it means I don't walk away.
GmtR: Crete, I applaud your enthusiasm, but THIS won't end the war. THIS will end things between you and Moose, at least for now. Whoever wins between you, I have no doubt that it will energize that side. But I am not foolish enough to think that this will be the deathblow. The War Games match.......I have to think you would be better off part of that
CTG: The War Games match is indeed a team effort, and I think Stank would be best as the captain of that team. I feel that he has the drive we will need against Team Bennett.
GmTR: .....interesting to hear YOU say that
CTG: Why? Are YOU going to accuse me of putting that bounty on his head as well?
GMtR: Crete, I am not saying anything either way. Though the evidence against you is more than a little convincing
CTG: That's not how I operate, Rick, and you know it. Stank has earned a great deal of respect from me in recent months and to that I'm willing to trust him with the rest of the team. If HE wishes to believe that I wanted to take him out, why would I ask someone else to do it? If I need something done, I do it - no head games, no smoke and mirrors, admittedly some flashy special effects but never hiding my true intentions.
GMtR: Crete, thats a good story, but you have been feuding with Moose for so long......look, I already said, this war, this blood feud, he has you thinking on HIS terms. Can't you see that if has you that far, that putting a bounty out is not such a jump in reasoning? Can you not see what this war has done to you? Look I know you have your principles, and your morals, but damn if Moose hasn't found a way to corrupt them. Crete, you cannot honestly stand there and tell me you are the same Concrete TG now that you were in 2004!
CTG: Rick, this war has affected your memories. I've had to go BACK to being the same Concrete TG I was in the past - I've fought Moose in hardcore matches before, and not as San Chaos. I've faced him at his level, I've beaten him at his level, and he's beaten me at mine. This match is a level that neither one of us has ever considered until now- in a time where more than rules of Kayfabe are broken. There are things going on in this league that are not only affecting the wrestlers, Rick, but family members and friends of said wrestlers. This war has already gone too far, and in retrospect, I have not gone far enough.
GMtR: You really don't see it do you? Look, I will make this match, mostly because I don't care about good vs. evil or any of that other shit. I care that this will pop the hell out of the ratings. But think about this. What are you really trying to destroy? Moose has said it so many times, and I think he has a point, he is your dark side. He is the evil that lurks within all men. You are trying to destroy that, so in a sense, you are trying to destroy yourself. Do you even realize that? And the whole time, Moose cheerfully goes along with it, knowing that with each battle, you are no closer to destroying him, you are closer to destroying yourself.
CTG: Rick, when I shone the purest of light on him he only became darker. Perhaps if I turn the light down a little bit we'll the see the man and not the monster that is Moosehead Jack.
GMtR: Moose is flesh and bone just like the rest of us Crete. But you can't destroy him without destroying yourself
CTG: if that's what it takes, Rick.. if that's what it takes.
(CTG walks out of Rick's office. Rick is left to ponder the carnage that Concrete has laid out for him)
GMtR: This isn't something I expect from you, Crete.
