Midweek Mayhem (4/10) Live from Washington D.C.

[BookerShark]

*Daniella and DK Murphy are meeting with DVD*

DKM: Sorry, Vic, I agreed not to tell anyone.

DVD: And you thought I didn't know that she was your sister?

DKM: Maybe she's adopted.

DVD:...?

DKM: Obviously she's adopted, in my opinion.

DM: Dominic, that's not funny. It wasn't funny when we were kids, and it isn't funny now.

DKM: You don't have red hair.

DM: I've explained to you what a recessive trait is.

DKM: Whatever.

[BookerShark]

Wilder is leaning up against the wall, watching DK and Daniella's rampage....

Wait. That's his sister?

And Firewoman is Moose's sister. Eco and Mai are related. Kai's brother wrestled here....

Am I the only one here who doesn't have a relative in the biz?

The Kai walks by

The Kai: Aloha, Brah!

TW - Now don't you start!

[BookerShark]

*The Murphy siblings are sitting at the bar in the Destroyitarium, drinking coffee while Spenser and Ashley are setting up for business, when Tommy Wilder's promo comes on OOWF-TV*

D: He has a point. There's also Wyatt Cox and all of his family...

DK: Stank and Ghost...

D: LD and Donny...

*They both pause, but Donny does not run in*

DK: I'm probably forgetting another one.

Spenser: You guys want more coffee?

[BookerShark]

~~~ Chad Madison & Zane Myers are standing with yet another Randomly Numbered Sexy Female Journalist in front of the OOWF Interview Banner. Chad has the Onslaught Championship around his waist, and both men are drinking from Aquafina bottles. ~~~

RNSFJ: I am here with Onslaught Champion Chad Madison and the recently returned Zane Myers. Zane, this week you take on Rabbit Mask.

Zane: Rabbit mask is an enigma. He's hard to figure out. I know how he wrestles and I'll be ready. I'm in the best shape of my life, and now that I've gotten a taste of the ring back, it's time for a full meal. They say rabbit tastes like chicken, you know.

RNSFJ: I... I wouldn't know. And in the main event, Madison/Wilder 3. No Time Limit for the Onslaught Title

Zane: Championship.

Chad: Tommy, you and I just can't seem to get to a conclusion, can we. First time we got interfered with, second time went to double overtime before they called it off. But now, the distractions should be gone. You and me one more time. I'd tell you to Bring Your Hammers, but we've already torn the house down. I'd warn you about Messing With The Bull, but you've already seen the horns. So I'll just say this. Saddle On Up, because this will be the longest 8 second ride you've ever been on.

RNSFJ: Guys, let me finish by getting your thoughts about the return to power of LJ Bennett.

Zane: If you'd have told me that he was back, I would have said the guy is a snake and can't be trusted. The fact that he is back and seems to have aligned himself with Moose, Stank & LD proves that point.

Chad: We've been to war with Bennett already once. And if it comes down to choosing sides, you can rest assured we won't be siding with the Saints of Sinners.

Zane: We've tangled with Moose, LD & Stank over and over. We know exactly what to expect.

Chad: They are drawing their power from the Championships they hold. Well, I've taken a Championship from Moose recently (pats the Onslaught belt). We've taken numerous Championships from Stank & LD in the past. They don't intimidate us, they aren't this unbeatable force.

Zane: LJ isn't the only one with contacts on the Board of Directors. Bridgette does a lot of consulting for them. She's already had to put Bennett in his place once.
So when it comes to dealing with the Saints, we know what to expect. If they want a fight, Texpress will be front and center. Trust Me. Believe Us. and Pay Attention. You think you can burn this place to the ground without a fight? You're dead wrong.

Firewoman and Jericho are indeed talking while Alex and Lexie are.

FW: Well, there were no punches thrown this time, so that's good.

Y2J: It's growth.

Jericho glances up to her forehead.

Y2J: I don't trust him 100 percent though.

FW: I know. Neither do I.

Y2J: No?

FW: But I trust him about 99 percent, which is more than anyone ever.

Y2J: Fair enough. He's worried ya know.

FW: Of course I know. He is SO bad at hiding it.

Y2J: He think your friends are going to hurt you. I assume he's talking about Moose, Stank and LD.

FW: Well, I'm....yeah....I'm disappointed, I guess. Or I should be...in Moose. But one thing confuses me...

Y2J: What's that?

FW: Stank...He sided AGAINST Bennett before. He HATES the man. I don't understand what changed his mind...

Y2J: You call him?

FW: I tried, he didn't pick up. We'll see if he meets me for our run in the morning.

Y2J: Hey, looks like more of the gang is here.

FW: Yep.

They break off and walk away, Jericho to join the group, Fire to go over to where Alex is, where they have that other conversation there.

[BookerShark]

Wilder is leaning up against the wall....

TW: OK, Stank and Ghosthead, Wyatt Cox, LD and Donnie.....

SFJ: Tommy...

TW: Wait a sec... Moose and Fire, Eco and Mai.....

SFJ: TOMMY! Any thoughts about this week's match?

TW: This is the way this match should have been from the start. Two wrestlers, throwing everything they have at each other until there is a winner. And I know I haven't been back long, but there isn't anyone I would rather face than Chad. The Cowboy reminds me of my old bud Capellan - the guy doesn't take shortcuts, works his butt off, and gives it all he's got, win or lose. You know, the guy has honor.

So at Mayhem, everyone is gonna see two guys just tear it up. They better hold off on the large drinks, 'cause this one ain't ending fast. We might go all night, all week, or until the next election. And I know Chad is going to push it to the limit.

But Chad my bro, that's the thing:

I'm Tommy Wilder - I don't do gravity, and I really don't do limits.

Let's Jam!

[BookerShark]

This occurs right after the DragonGate show. Firewoman and Alexander enter their hotel suite.

AD: Well, that was fantastic. SHIMMER first, and then dinner, then DragonGate, now what?

FW: Um..I don't know..if I'd know you were going to be here I'd have made plans.

AD: Oh, we can just do whatever you were going to do with Chrissy...

FW: Stop.

AD: *smirks* Okay...but it's fun to tease you.

FW: I can think of at least fifteen better ways to do that.

Alex grimaces with pain as he gets off his crutches and sits down on the couch.

FW: Although...maybe we should just stay in.

AD: No, I'm fine. I'm totally fine....ish.

FW: You are not.

AD: I'm not. But I'm not a helpless invalid either, Fire. This is a big weekend for everyone.

FW: Hmm....well, I did have kind of a place I was going to check out, by myself. I guess you could come along.

AD: I knew it. What kind of place?

FW: I should change.

AD: You look fine?

FW: I'm in jeans and last year's Wrestlemania shirt* and I need to wear something a bit more appropriate.

AD: Okay...I'll just sit here. Wincing.

Firewoman leaves. Alex sits, looking thoughtful, and despite the pain appears to be pretty happy. Finally Fire returns, wearing black leather pants and fitted black silk shirt.

AD: Wow....or, we could just stay in?

FW: You said you wanted to go out?

AD: Yeah but....

Fire is looking at Alex thoughtfully.

FW: Hmmm.....

AD: What?

FW: Well, I just wonder....I don't think the crutches are going to work.

She grabs her cell phone and dials.

FW: Yes, go ahead and send up the wheel chair.

AD: WHAT? I don't need a fucking wheel chair.

FW: Yeah, you should probably send the nurse up to.

AD: FIRE! I do not need--

FW: Thanks...bye.

AD: What the hell are you doing? I am not an invalid, I am FINE.

To prove his point, he stands up, without crutches. To prove hers, his knee promptly buckles.

AD: AAAiigh!!!

FW: See?

AD: I'm not going out in a wheelchair. That's humiliating.

FW: Then we aren't going out.

AD: That's what I suggested IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Fire starts to retort back but there's a knock on the door.

FW: That's the wheelchair.

AD: Fire....

Alex grabs his crutches and stands up, hobbling away from the door. Fire goes to open the door, and a wheelchair rolls in with a nurse behind it.

FW: Hello... ladies?

Nurse1: The service thought that perhaps they should send two over to....handle things.

Nurse2: And we were both so eager.

Alex appears to recognize the voices and turns around. he sees Cheerleader Melissa and Serena Deeb standing on either side of the wheel chair. Dressed as nurses. Sexy nurses.**

AD: Oh....hi.

CM: Hi.

SD: Hi.

FW: Ladies. I'm sorry, but Alexander has decided he doesn't actually need --

AD: No, no!! I'm good! I am in tremendous pain.

FW: Excellent, let's get our coats and--

AD: We're not...staying here?

FW: I said we were going out. To a club. A special club.

AD: Oh...now I understand the leather pants.

FW: Yes. You said your physical therapist was a master at making you hurt. I got a little jealous.

AD: Okay then, shall we?

A person comes to the door wearing a chauffeur's outfit. A sexy chauffeur's outfit. It appears to be Jessie McKay.

JM: Are we ready to go?

FW: Yep!

Fire locks arms with Jessie, and Serena and Melissa each take an arm of the wheelchair that Alex definitely gets into at this point, and they head out the door.

*OOC: actually, as soon as I'm done typing this I will be!

**OOC2: Let me tell you what interesting things you get when you do a search for 'cheerleader melissa sexy nurse.' Naw, go find out for yourself. You're welcome. Also update your virus/malware protection. As far as the promo goes though, you're going to all have to use your imaginations.

*OOC3: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEV!

[BookerShark]

We see Matt Folz and Jaime McAllister WALKING! around the various pre Wrestlemania events, in the middle of a conversation.

JM: So we agree on who Daniella Murphy's talking about then? The father who's career you ended?

MF: Seems fairly obvious, based off the moveset. I won't spoil it, let them make the big reveal, but if DK and Daniella continue to fuck with me, I'll send them to rehab to keep dear old dad some company.

JM: Please don't start too many wars at once hon. Chris, Moose, and now the Murphy siblings.

MF: Chris is no challenge. I have no interest in starting a full fledged war with Moose or the Saints of Sinners,I merely want the World Title, I'm not going to go around jumping them backstage. And as far as the Murphy's, as far as I'm concerned, they're small potatoes, if they don't fuck with me, I have no reason to fuck with them.

JM: Just promise me you'll be careful.

MF: I swear.

A Fan Wearing A Packer Sweatshirt spots them and runs over.

AFWAPS: Matt Folz! Dude, you're awesome, no doubt you're going to be World Champion before the year's out. Could I get a picture?

MF(Smiles): Sure.

The fan gives Jaime the camera and she snaps a picture of the fan and Folz posing.

AFWAPS: Awesome, thanks.

MF: Woah, woah, woah, where are you going?

AFWAPS: Huh?

MF: 75 bucks.

AFWAPS: You're joking.

MF: Because you're a fan, I'm giving you a 25 percent discount, usually I'd say a hundred.

AFWAPS: I'm not paying that.

MF: You are, or else you're missing the show while explaining to a doctor how you got a camera shoved up your ass.

The fan reluctantly pays, grabs his camera from Jaime and walks away.

AFWAPS: I'm using your picture as a dartboard, Asshole.

MF: This is America, that's certainly your right.

Jaime just shakes her head.

MF: What? I need cash for concessions tonight.

The couple continues to walk around as we.... FADE

[BookerShark]

In the Darling Skybox at the Metlife Stadium, Firewoman and Amazing Jos are TALKING~!

FW: Wow...his childhood is about on par with mine and Moose's..

AJ: Yeah, so that give you what you need to know?

FW: *batistalaughs* Oh, Jos....you don't even know....So anyway, I was thinking about where our movesets are complimentary so maybe Monday...after my weight training is usually when I do ring work...

AJ: Every day?

FW: No, no....Well, cardio yes. I only do weights Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

AJ: Really?

FW: Yeah, if I do ring work more than twice a week that's too much. It's better for me to work on the foundations more than the actual moves, but other people are different. Like flexibility is REALLY important given my size, so yoga is actually twice a day and--

AJ: Daaaaaamn, gurl....don't you ever relax? When do you sleep?

Fire smiles...that smile when you have to explain something to someone and you're trying to be nice about it, but you're really annoyed? That one.

FW: Jos.....first off....It's not....it's NEVER...."gurl." Or chick. Or honey. Or broad. Or dame. Or any of those other things. 'Kay?

AJ: ....kay....whatever, I didn't mean no disres--

FW: I know. That's why you're standing. Second, no I don't sleep.

AJ: Ever?

FW: Well...used to be ever. Now I'm good about 2, 3 nights awake.

AJ: Daaaaaamn, gu....I mean Fire.

FW: It happens. Anyway tag team moves.

AJ: Yeah, I think we can maybe look to some combination of--

They are interrupted by Alexis Darling walking up. Jos looks her up and down.

LD: Excuse me, Jos, can I borrow my sister-in-law?

AJ: Sure, no problem....

Alexis leads Fire away.

FW: What's up, Lex?

LD: So where'd you guys end up last night?

FW: Well, just proving my point that you can find anything on the Internet, there was the Fetish club that specialized in 'medical,' and--

LD: Do you think that was wise in his condition?

FW: HE was fine with it. In fact--

LD: I know...I HEARD. We share a suite.

FW: Oh...sorry.

LD: You didn't sound sorry.

FW: Lexie...this isn't about taking Alex to a fetish club in a wheel chair...

LD: No...no it isn't....

FW: ...

LD: ...

FW: Goddammit, he told you everything, didn't he.

LD: Yes, and....Fire...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? It didn't work the last time, with you and Poe and now you're thinking of DOING IT ALL AGAIN?

FW: Lexie, it--

LD: So when is all this going to happen....

FW: ....

LD: I'm not letting up.

FW: If Alex told you everything you already know. And you're not talking me out of it....although....

LD: Although what?

FW: Well, after what Moose did to Selena...

LD: So much for getting along.

FW: I guess.

LD: Have you talked to him? Or LD? Or Stank?

FW: No, none of them....I dunno, the whole thing might be off, now that Bennett's calling the shots.

LD: GEE that'd be a tragedy.

FW: What exactly is your problem with this?

LD: .....Just because Alex let's you make whatever insane alliances you want without saying a word, doesn't mean..........

Alexis is apparently too angry for words, so she just turns and storms away. Spencer walks up to Fire with a glass of champagne for her.

FW: Thanks.

SD: What's up with her?

FW: I don't even know where to start.

SD: Maybe Alex can....say, where IS Alex, anyway?

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE

[BookerShark]

<Ghosthead is sitting in the lotus position on the top of the arena in Washington DC meditating in the sunshine. A few feet away Shannon is sitting reading a book, also just enjoying the sunshine. She looks up and sees someone approaching>

S: Husband……

GH: I am aware wife. What can I do for you Mr. Quinn

<Moose walks up and shows his hands, no weapons or anything>

MHJ: Not here for a fight

GH: <exhaling and slowly getting to his feet, letting himself slowly stretch to his full height. Moose watches this disinterested, looking out over the city> Then why are you here?

MHJ: What is the deal with you and your brother

<Ghosthead just stares at Moose for a moment>

GH: Direct and to the point. I appreciate that. The……deal…..between my brother and I is of no one else’s concern

MHJ: <staring at him hard> but it is not beyond repair

GH: What is the point of all this……..is this recruitment to the Saints of Sinners? I assure you, I am not interested in waging war against the OOWF for whatever perceived slight has been committed against you.

MHJ: October 28, 2013

<Ghost just stares at Moose>

MHJ: that was the last one on one world heavyweight title match you received. You faced Chris Evans, and lost.

<Ghost bristles a bit at this>

MHJ: November 14, 2013. You faced Firewoman, and won. Just two weeks before she won the world title in a three way match against you and Evans. You beat her, and yet she got the match instead of you getting another one on one match against Evans.

<Ghost is clearly getting agitated. Moose walks around a bit, eyeing Ghost, then turning his back on him and facing the edge of the arena>

MHJ: December 26, 2013. Mayan Apocalypse Party. You take the world champion to the limit in a no contest street fight

<Moose turns back and looks at Ghost>

MHJ: Since then……not a single one on one match against the world champion. You have been mired mostly in meaningless six man matches against partners that couldn’t give the slightest shit about you.

GH: And what is the point of all of this?

MHJ: Management……..Selena…….was screwing you too

GH: I do not need others to right the wrongs committed against me. If you are waiting for a thank you, your wait will be a long one

MHJ: I don’t ask for, or expect thank yous. I know you know nothing about Bennett, but I assure you, he has no intention of maintaining the previous regimes line of thinking.

GH: <looking somewhat amused> Tell me Mr. Quinn…….who is the current world champion?

MHJ: <grinning> That would be me

GH: And let me guess……all I have to do is cash in this briefcase and you will give me a match…….and the second the bell rings…..Stank, LD, Punswick and Carter will storm that ring and decimate me ending my shot, and eliminating a threat to your title

MHJ: <nodding and grinning> A man who thinks ahead. I am well aware of your guaranteed title shot. And you would be a fool to tell me when you are going to use it. I am not interested in eliminating you as a threat. To prove that I…..and the Saints of Sinners….are not Ecosystem, we are not taking things over by force, I am telling you, you deserve a match. Anytime, anywhere, and you have my word that there will be no interference.

<Moose extends his hand, Ghost just looks at him>

GH: Why on earth should I believe you?

MHJ: Because I said I was going to burn this place down, and getting rid of Selena was just step one. Bennett is here to make sure those deserving do not have to BEG for title shots. Shots EARNED will be shots RECEIVED. Briefcase aside, you have earned that shot. I don’t know what your issues with your brothers are, and honestly I don’t care. You and the Saints of Sinners share the same interest in mayhem and chaos, there is no reason for us not to work together.

GH: This still sounds like you are trying to eliminate an enemy

MHJ: Think what you like. The White Hats are not going to sit back on this. There will come a time to choose sides. Like I told Punswick and Carter, a man who tries to stand alone, will not stand for long. Just think about it

<Moose turns and walks away>

[BookerShark]

*Ghosthead is still meditating when The Murphys walk up. DK holds back and Daniella walks up to him*

GH: I was waiting for you.

DM: You know where I am coming from.

GH: I do.

DM: We have our own issues, your brother and us, and his friends.

GH: Obviously.

DM: If it works out between us, fine. If not, good on ya, mate.

GH: So be it.

[BookerShark]

*The Murphy siblings sold their tickets to Wrestlemania and are in Nelly Spillanes*

DKM: The card was a bit weak.

DM: Worth trading in our tickets, for Irish chicken curry, disco fries, a bottle of Powers, and a bottle of Paddy's

[BookerShark]

The scene opens up to what looks like a cooridoor of what can only be MetLife Stadium as you see Alex Darling on crutches walking from the nearest restroom. He seems to be going slowly when a man accidentally bumps into him causing Alex to lose his balance. The man helps him up and apologizes until Alex recognises him.

You...what in the hell are you....

Before he could finish the man lays into Alex. Blow after blow to the head of Darling to where he gets busted open...blood pouring from his head. The guy stands up.

Tell that bitch Alex...tell her exactly what just happened that everyone she cares about isnt safe...tell her the New World is upon her and him...Tell her Alex..that Christian Carter did this...and tell her this is My World...and She lives in it! Then you get that knee better because Ill be looking forward to your return...

Carter with a smile on his face walks away as he leaves Alex laying in his blood as a passerby walks by and screams alerting security.

[BookerShark]

*The following day Firewoman is outside the Verizon Center in DC and stretching for her morning run when a shadow falls over her.*

Stank - How's Alex?

FW - Like you care.

Stank - I suppose he's doing fine since you're here getting ready for your run.

FW - My husband will live, much to that Omar wannabe's regret. Why are you here?

Stank - You've been blowing up my phone.

*A confused looks crosses Firewoman's face.*

Stank - It means you've been calling me non-stop.

FW - Oh... cause I was thinking blowing it up might not be a bad idea since you OBVIOUSLY don't know how to USE IT!

Stank - I... I'm sorry about that. Can we run now?

FW - ...

*Fire takes off at a fast pace. Stank catches up and is just a step behind. Fire maintains the pace and Stank keeps up for the most part much to Fire's surprise and admiration a little bit... just a little. Stank however knows this will not last.*

Stank - Woman would you slow the fuck down! You trying... to burn yourself out in the first mile?

FW - No... just you.

Stank - Oh for fuck's sake... let's... talk for.. a seconc... .. second.

*Firewoman consider's this and decides to slow her pace. Stank jogs in step next to her.*

Stank - You know.. you're fucking up your running regiment... just to mess with me?

FW - How can you and LD associate yourself with him!

Stank - With who? Your brother?

FW - No damn it! Carter!

Stank - I'm not associated with him. LD neither. That's Moose's deal and it's a loose one if I'm reading it right. Quite frankly neither Billy, or I like the way Carter talks about you, but if we went around and beat up everyone who called you a bitch... well... you get the idea.

FW - I really don't, but that's not really my question.

Stank - Bennett.

FW -

Stank -

FW - I'm listening.

Stank - ... ... ... Let's stop for a second.

FW - ... Over there.

*Fire and Stank stop in front of the National Building Museum. Fire hands Stank a bottle of water she has strapped to her, but he refuses. She takes a swig and then puts it away. It's a sort of cool 60 degrees in the shade. Stank and eventually Fire walk over into the sunlight.*

Stank - When Moose told me Bennett was coming... I was livid, okay? I worked really hard to get rid of that bastard... then.. I had to think about why I worked so hard to get rid of him in the first place.

FW - Well let's see. He's a megalomaniac who killed his twin brother in order to gain control of this company so he could absorb it into the PHWF and bend it to his will. He caused a company-wide war by playing favorites, and burying half of the roster he didn't like, while lulling the half he pretended to like into believing that the war was just by providing them with false promises. THIS guy made Junichiro Muyo look like...

Stank - First... Eric was the driving force behind the war.

FW - Ha!

Stank - Second... Bennett was acquitted of all charges.

FW - What about all the evidence Lexie pulled together... and THE NINJACAM footage?

Stank - All heresay... the courts thought it made for a great show, but it couldn't be introduced as evidence. It was enough for The OOWF Board to get rid of him, but not enough to get him convicted of murder. That's neither here or there. Our goal was to get him out of the OOWF and it worked.

FW - Not for long though, huh?

Stank - It's different now.

FW - It's different? We fought side by side to get rid of him.

Stank - Yeah... then you guys turned on me. You, Alex, Lexie, Chad, Zane, Davin... and Rick.

FW - Oh gods that was...

Stank - Business?... Well so is this.

FW -

Stank - Look... for what it's worth... I still think Bennett is a scumbag. It's not like I'm going to be sitting down drinking beers with the guy... but... he's a means to an end. This is not some personal thing against you, Lisa. There's a big picture here... and you know me... I'm always looking at the big picture.

FW - Obama.

Stank - What?

FW - I was going to say Bennett makes Juni look like Obama.

Stank - You know there are some who might misinterpret that analogy.

FW - Well there's the Pope, but that has the same problem.

Stank - Santa Claus?

FW - *shudders* I have my own issues with Santa.

Stank - ?

FW - I don't want to talk about it.

Stank - ... maybe later?

FW - Later, sure.

*Firewoman starts jogging at a much more manageable pace this time. Stank falls in step next to her.*

Stank - Are we cool?

FW -

Stank - Lisa, outside of a match, Billy Dee and I would never hurt you. And we would never intentionally make things personal when it comes to you.

FW - This IS..

Stank - What... what?

FW - *Sigh* I need to think.

Stank - Alone?

FW - No... we can finish our run.

The scene opens up at what looks like an abandoned building. The sign in front of the building There is a Sign that reads Windy City Championship Wrestling presents "LIVE PRO WRESTLING". The camera then walks into the building down the hall through the doors and there sits a ring in the middle of the building. The camera then goes down the steps and to ringside. There we see a man sitting in a chair in the middle of the ring with his back turned to the camera. The man begins to talk.

??: 13 Years ago I became part of this great business. Busted my ass training, sleeping in buildings, wrestling 5 days out of 6. Traveling from town to town city to city. Then I came here. To this very building and became a part of this family. Windy City Championship Wrestling, Where I became one of the best wrestlers in this City.

The man turns and we see that is Jason Allen.

JA: Now fast forward 13 years. I am now in OOWF. Carter, did you actually think that after what you did I was just going to help you? No I used you to get here, just like I used you in xGw, LBCW, and everywhere else you thought you where better then me at. Everywhere you go you keep setting yourself up and I just keep knocking you down. Are you ever going to learn? wait I know the Answer to that question.

Allen Stands up and Removes the chair from the ring, as he is doing this a female is entering the ring. walks over to Allen and hands him a bottle of water. Allen takes a drink hands her back the bottle and Continues to talk.

JA: Two months ago Cater took me out. Two months ago, Carter almost ended my career. Now here I am, back going to do what I do best and be the absolute best this company has to offer. Jos you and I really havent seen eye to eye, but I hope there are no hard feelings. I did interfere in your match but you did win. I did not want to step on your toes, but this was my opportunity to strike on a man that has so many evils, that has done so much to hurt people that didn't need to get hurt.

Allen again is handed a bottle of water. He takes a drink and hands it back to the woman.

JA: I almost forgot. This lovely woman standing next to me is Madison Clark. She is my wife, manager and if you cross her path she will kick ass.

Allen pauses once again. This time pacing back and forth, in the ring. then continues.

JA: Enough about Carter, I will deal with you later. This Wednesday I have to wrestle Clint Bilton. Clint my man, come Wednesday you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time. You see for the past two months I've been in this very ring training and working to get back into competition and I drew you. You see Clint I have a lot of anger inside of me. When you think your career is over Doctors say you got beat so bad that you will never wrestle again, just to prove them wrong. Bilton you need to ask yourself one question. Are you prepared, are your ready? Because guy you have never face anything like what your getting ready to. Its Time to play Bilton.....

The Camera fades to black as Allen is handed the Bottle of water from Madison and The exit the ring.

Dashing Victor Deniro and Dynamite Danny Taylor are sitting on what looks to be the roof of the Destroyatorium. They are enjoying a beautiful sunset. Or at least Danny is. Victor has his hands full of various files and paperwork, and he looks rather irritated. Danny nudges him and tries to get him to focus on the scene in front of him. Victor gives it a cursory glance, before going back to his paperwork.

DVD: Calm before the storm bro.

Danny frowns and puts his hands over Vic's work forcing him to make eye contact. Vic let's out a sigh.

DVD: Things are about to get ugly again Danny. So many things happening all at once, and I'm not seeing any good coming out of it.

Danny motions for Vic to elaborate.

DVD: Well first off, DK's sister is here. Not sure if she's with us, but there is no doubt who's kid they are, and I know we HAVE to stand by them if they are attempting what I think they are.

Danny nods in agreement.

DVD: Then there is Ghosthead.

Danny frowns at the mere mention of his name.

DVD: See that's what I'm talking about. What happened to Lobo was never settled by you. Until you get closure there you are no good to anyone.

Danny makes the motion of getting a match.

DVD: Can you get a match now? We weren't here for Bennett. We don't know anything about him. What we do know is that he has an alliance with Moose and Stank and LD, and whomever else they manage to sway to their line of thought.

Danny shrugs and knocks his fists together.

DVD: It really is that simple for you isn't it? You just fight whatever fight is in front of you. You are either the bravest, or the dumbest man I've ever met. (the last line is said with a bit of a smirk on Vic's face)

Danny smirks back and chuckles a bit.

DVD: (getting serious again) And when we are inevitably put in the line of fire? And I'm not just talking about you and DK and Kai, but when it's me or the girls, what then.

Danny frowns again.

DVD: Face it, for all their talk, we've been down this path before. Stank and LD are not above hurting anyone if fits their agenda, and Moose thrives on that. The Murphy's are reopening old "new guard" wounds, and Ghosthead always lurks there as the wildcard. It's a dangerous landscape we find ourselves in.

Danny makes the sign language symbol for friends, and then does bull horns, and then they letters DEA.

DVD: Oh, true, the Texans have been good friends, and Lexie would have our back in a fight, but Alex has been MIA even before he was injured, and how much can you really rely on Fire when her brother is involved.

Danny frowns and goes to argue, when Vic cuts him off.

DVD: I know she has been a good friend to us, and that me and her have gotten along better over the last year, but he is still her brother. I don't understand why, but that is something that is super important to her. I'm not saying she would side with him in all this, but she has before.

Danny lets out a sigh not wanting to have this argument now, and motions again to the slowly setting sun.

DVD: Yeah, the sun sets on the OOWF we knew, tomorrow who knows what it brings. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to help Kai find two partners for mayhem.

Danny points to himself and then makes the letters D and K.

DVD: Kai said he didn't want you guys pulling double duty, and I can't say I blame him.

With that Vic heads inside as a concerned Danny watches him go.

Post-Murphy attack, Mai and Stan are chatting in the trainer’s room.

Stan: Look, I don’t need to respond to Daniella’s attack. I know where she’s coming from, I know what I did with the New Guard. If she comes back for you, though…

Mai: Please Stan, let it be. If this becomes something unrelenting, then yes, we’ll have to address it. But if it’s just a matter of taking some piss out of me after taking some out of you…I know you think I was naïve when Evans and Folz recruited me, but I have to own what we did as much as you do.

Stan: Fine. On a different topic…

Mai: Yes?

Stan: It’s hard to bring up…you know, I still don’t understand your brother. I expected he’d still be struggling with his violent, megalomaniacal ways, and I suppose he is a bit, but I feel like every other time I turn around, he’s playing the jokester. I don’t know if it’s an act, or a weird contradiction—

Mai: It’s not a contradiction. Stan, have you ever read comic books?

Stan: Not recently, but I’m sure I have.

Mai: Well, Junichiro is The Joker.

Stan: Well, yes, he’s borrowed that motif before.

Mai: No, but he’s actually The Joker. Completely. Let me explain.

The simplest, most illiterate reading you can give of the character of The Joker is that he is sometimes funny and sometimes sadistic. The two attributes compliment and strengthen each other. It’s difficult to engage in a violent, uncaring manner unless you can disassociate yourself from the violence—make it all one big joke, perhaps. And of course, it’s difficult to consider the world as one big joke without falling into a kind of nihilism that can justify the most evil actions. It’s much the same with Junichiro.

Stan: That makes sense. So you don’t think your brother values anything?

Mai: On the contrary. Junichiro values a few things, and they’re the same things the Joker values. One of those things is power.

Take the story of Harley Quinn. The Joker has an ambiguous sexuality, of course. Sometimes he’s in love with Harley, sometimes he’s not. The important thing is that he wants so badly to exercise power over her—and not just physical control, but mental control. That part people remember, but they forget why that desire is significant as it relates to the object. Dr. Harleen Quinzel was Joker’s psychologist, a brilliant woman with power over him. So Joker had to flip their power dynamic, and do so explicitly making her weak where she once was strong. What’s impressive about Firewoman, Stan?

Stan: She’s a fine wrestler. No offense, but probably the best female wrestler there is.

Mai: Sure. But you had to qualify it with female. She’s probably not the best wrestler of all time. What’s most impressive about her is her will, her fire, her independence—all of which has allowed her to transcend her body and even be considered in the conversation about the greatest wrestlers of all time. So that was what Junichiro had to break in Trinity, and that’s why he’s so jealous and angry about other people having control over her—including, of course, Fire herself.

Stan: So who’s Batman in this story? Don’t tell me it’s Alexander—or worse, Moose.

Mai: (dropping her voice) I’m Batman.

Stan: Oh for—was this all a set up for that joke?

Mai: No, seriously, I’m Junichiro’s Batman. What makes the Joker’s relationship with Batman special isn’t that they’re in conflict. The Joker is in conflict with the entire Gotham police squad. But Joker’s connection with Batman is emotional. Some writers make it homoerotic to make it comprehensible, but it’s not truly about that. Batman completes the Joker. The Joker can be as crazy as he likes, but he feels at home in his crazy when he’s in conflict with Batman.

Here’s the key difference. Junichiro loves me, but he doesn’t feel complete when we’re at odds. He wants us to stand alongside each other. And for now, that means he has to deny all his other instincts and behave himself.

Stan: So you’re saying he’s all pure evil except for you.

Mai: Well, he seems to have a harder time putting me out of his mind than he does forgetting about his religion…but he’s not pure evil. He’s very different from Moose, for instance.

Stan: They’re both capable of basically anything.

Mai: Anything, yes. But they don’t share motivations. Do you know the one villain the Joker refused to work with? The Red Skull. As sadistic and nihilistic as The Joker was—and frankly, he had it out for more people than the Red Skull ever did—he still found racism odious. Now, Moose is no racist. But the difference between Moose and my brother is that my brother doesn’t understand grudges. Moose is constantly driven by feelings of vengeance; Junichiro is terrified of them—rightly, because he knows how they consume people. For Junichiro, a true blood feud would not end unless someone died, and unlike some, the idea of being murderer or victim genuinely terrifies him—I think the near-death experience with Tytan only intensified that feeling.

When I came to the OOWF, I couldn’t understand why my own brother would try to put me out as Junichiro did—especially when he seemed so dead-set on fighting off Moose from hurting me. And when he joined forces with Moose, I was even more confused. But looking back, it makes all the sense in the world. He was staring down the prospect of a blood feud, and he blinked. He tried to get rid of the problem of Moose and Mai in conflict, and he just went the opposite direction and tried to send me home with an injury—and then went and stood by Moose, maybe to throw Moose off chasing me, maybe just because it seemed like the too-clever-by-half thing to do.

Stan pauses for a moment.

Mai: Thoughts?

Stan: An alternative theory.

Mai: Shoot.

Stan: Junichiro is nuts and his sister is a giant nerd.

Christian Carter is walking down the Hallway of Random Encounters. He hears the following whistle...after the annoying advertisement...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoRXhS7vlU

He pauses without turning, since it's not clear where it's coming from, and then hears a voice.

V: Got yer message.

This gives Carter enough information that he can turn in the direction of the voice. Just in time for a very solid kick to one knee, which drops him to the other knee, followed by a very solid uppercut that knocks him backward. A few more solid kicks strike his body. His vision clear and he sees Firewoman standing over him with a Clangy Pole (tm). It's raised and aimed right at his
head. She seems to be...listening to something. Or someone.

FW: See...I got two voices in my head right now. Patrick is telling me I should go to town on you, right here, right now, for even THINKING of laying a finger on my family.

The other one...the new one...is saying we're even, and we should settle the rest of it in the ring.

My question for you is....who should I listen to? Give me one good reason to NOT cave your skull in and bathe in your blood.

CC: *pausing to catch his breath* Make it a good one. There's only thing keeping me from coming after you and everyone you love.

Firewoman smirks, raises her arm further, and then swings...tossing the pole very far away, outside either of their reaches.

FW: Bring it.

She turns and walks back into the darkness. Carter gets to his feet and lunges for her, but this isn't Firewoman's first rodeo, not by a long shot. She's ready for him, and the two trade punches, neither backing down until six security guards come running in and with some difficulty separate them.

SG1: Dammit, it's Firewoman, we're going to need a few more--

SG2: They're on their way.

FW: No no...Gentlemen...I'm good. See you in the ring, Chrissy.

Carter snarls and lunges again, but this time he's restrained. Fire merely smirks as security 'helps' them both in opposite directions.

*Meanwhile Ghosthead is roaming the halls of the Verizon Center when he is approached by SFJ#7 and a camera crew.*

SFJ#7 - Ghosthead if I may...?

Ghost - Proceed.

SFJ#7 - Given your strong showing in the OOWF's first ever Elimination Chamber match, yet coming up short of a win, what is your mindset going into yet another multiway match with at least two of your opponents who shared participation in the Elimination Chamber, back at Madness 9?

Ghost - First let me address one Moosehead Jack our current OOWF World Champion. I heard what you had to say and let me be clear. While we may share an interest in chaos and mayhem there is indeed a reason why The Saints and the Ghosthead Killer can not work together... simply put... I do not play well with others. This has been proven time and time again. It is through no conscious effort on my part. It is simply the function of my role in the design... however Chaos lends itself to it's own need and perhaps the tide will at some point find me by The Saint's side. I do not pretend to plot the course. I merely ride where I am taken. For now... I am not where you would desire me to be. Personal issues with my brother notwithstanding.

Now to address your question number seven. My mindset... I go into this match still as the Ghosthead Killer, The Death Knell. I will inflict as much suffering as possible and destroy those who oppose me. I have had little dealings with Alexis Darling, but I am sure her suffering will prove as sweet as any other. Matt Folz and I have gone to battle on numerous occasions and is a capable warrior, but a delusional one if he thinks for a second that his desire to be World Champion deters my own. As for the silent one... Danny Taylor. You seem to have taken my dispatching of The Bloody Wolf... personally. A matter that had little to do with you. What I did to El Lobo Sangriento was a long time coming, the result of an ages old debt from before your time with him. You and the rest of your pack weren't even a whisper on my psyche when I destroyed El Lobo, but if you desire revenge for your fallen stablemate... I welcome the attempt. But know this Danny Taylor... what you will get instead is the same fate... as El Lobo Sangriento.

Then you too will know... just like everyone else... wrath, fury, ruin.

~~~ We find The members of Texpress at the Washington Humane Society, signing autographs and helping the staff handle the numerous adoptions going on. One kid approaches Chad & Zane's table holding a small grey kitten. He is 8 or 9 years old and naturally, accompanied by his mother. ~~~

Child: It's really you! Texpress! Mom, look!

Mother: I see Lucas.

Lucas: My mom doesn't like wrestling, but I watch it ALL the time! I watch OOWF Weekend Every Saturday morning, at least until mom says I'm old enough to watch MidWeek Mayhem by myself

Chad: Mothers know best. I see you've picked out a new friend there

Lucas: I want to take him home, but Mom isn't sure.

Mother: We talked about this already.

Lucas: But MOM I TOLD YOU It said on TV that the pets were free and everything! isn't that right?

Zane: Well. Free of cost today. You still have to buy it food and kitty litter.

Mother: And get it shots, and registered, and pay the adoption fees..

Chad: All that is taken care of today Ma'am. All you have to agree to is give the animal a good home.

Lucas: See Mom! Can I keep him? Please?

Mother: Oh all right.

Zane: Here, let me help you get everything taken care of.

~~~ Zane walks the mother to another table where they work on paperwork. ~~~

Chad: So it sounds like all you need to do now is name this little guy.

Lucas: What should I call him?

Chad: Well, our friend Davin has a cat that looked just like him when he was a kitten. He named his cat Smokey.

Lucas: You and Davin are friends? I didn't know that. And he has a cat? Cool!

Chad: Yep! Here (Pulls out an OOWF Foam Cowboy hat and signs it) This is for you, Lucas.

Lucas: Awesome! You guys are my favorites! I wish you'd team up again soon. You know you guys haven't been a team in 3 months? That's a long time. I hope you win your match this week. Can I hold your belt.. errr Championship?

Chad: Sure thing buddy. (Stands and undoes the Onslaught Championship from around his waist and sets it on the table beside the kid) Don't you worry, Texpress Will Ride Again soon enough. let me hold Smokey and you try that thing on.

Lucas: Awesome! (puts the foam hat on) Look mom! I'm Cowboy Chad Madison!

Mother: (walking back up) I see honey. We need to go. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much he watches you on TV.

Chad: My pleasure Ma'am. Are ya'll coming to the show on Wednesday?

Mother: I'm afraid not.

~~~ Chad and Zane watch them exit the building. ~~~

Chad: I kind of liked that kid.

Zane: I thought is was the mother you kind of liked.

Chad: Her too.

*At "Silvers Gym" (Not Zane's), Jos walks in a random room full of punching bags.

*You hear thunderous booms as soon as Jos opens the door. The lights are off and only one other person is in the room.

*As Jos gets near, he see's the ever so lovely Fire Woman, beating the hell out of a heavy bag*

AJ: Sooooo.. Lemme guess, Carter?

FM: *Ignores Jos and continues punching*

AJ: Dont get yourself worked up. Thats what he wants. The second he consumes your mind, he's already won. The guy has burnt down my dojo, talked smack about my deceased friend and hes thrown me in jail. I know a little about wanting to beat the bitch outta Chris.

FW: *Takes a look at Jos then resumes Punching*

AJ: Lis... Fire. Im not gonna argue with you, but I need to know you won`t do anything irrational. The second your eye is off the ball, we wont have a chance to win.

FW:*While still striking the bag* No one asked you to worry about me, I can take care of myself.

AJ: Im not worried about you, im just concerned about the other team getting in our heads before our match.

FW: Just stay out of my way and we will be fine.

AJ: *Darby Sigh* Just remember, winning is more important than giving Carter all your attention. We still got Chris Aarons to worry about.

FM: Its "Evans"

AJ: Same shit! Errands, Evans, either way you say it, the dude is still gonna get his ass wrecked by "Amazing Fire" *Wink!

FM: "Amazing Fire"?

AJ: Hey, its been a long weekend! Didnt have enough time to come up with a good one. It was either that or "Jos Woman"

FW: *shakes her head in dissapointment while still throwing combos*

AJ: Dont get all sour on me, im just trying to make you smile. You'd be so much more chilled if you woulda smoked a doob about it. We could call you "Smokin on that Fire, Woman". or "Getting Higher Woman"?

FW:*A small smirk comes over Fire's face before she shakes it off and continues beating on the bag*

AJ: Uh-Oh! Thought I saw a lil something on your face! *Has a big grin that fades* Look, you do you, but remember, you got a partner that is willing to help you hurt Carter and also win this match. With the way everything is going on, we gotta show nothing will break our spirits. With a new Champion and a new GM, we gotta show the world we are ready for anything. Are you ready?!

FW: *Fire grins one more time before throwing a right haymaker at the bag*

*RRRIIIIPPPPP!!*

*Bag rips in half*

What about you?

Jos: *Jos is a little surprised but follows up with a sly grin*

*He slowly starts to walk away before stopping in front of a heavy bag near the exit.*

*FTANG!*

*Jos "Falcon Kicks" the bag and the bag explodes in half*

I'm good.

*Jos walks out the door while Fire nods her head in approval*

The camera slow pans up in a secluded area of the Mayhem arena. We see Awesome Bill From Dawsonville standing at an old timey stand mic, his hat in his hand. In the background a banjo starts playing and he steps forward and sings into the mic.

ABFD: I am a man of constant sorrow.
I've seen trouble all my day
I bid farewell to old Dawsonville.
The place where I was born and raised.

At this point he steps back and Justin Sane and Chuckles the Clown step up and sing into the mic. Well Justin sings, Chuckles just kind of grunts and goes Juh into the mic

Justin and Cuckles: The place where he was born and raised.

ABFD: For two long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.


Justin and Chuckles: He has no friends to help him now. (Justin whispers to himself, but still in the mic) Well except for us of course.

ABFD: It's fare thee well my old lover (Bill holds up a jar of PCPL)
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

Justin and Chuckles: Perhaps he will die upon this train (Justin whispers too loud again) I thought we were banned from Trains?

ABFD: You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.

Justin and Chuckles: While he is sleeping in his grave.

ABFD: Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

Justin and Chuckles: He'll meet you on God's golden shore.

At this point all three men break out in what some may call "dancing" but really looks more like three people having a seizure. The music cuts off and they strike poses and the camera pans back to see a slightly bewildered Ellie May from Ellajay looking confused.

Ellie: Well, that was different, but what does it have to do with your match this week against Salvation?

Bill and Justin exchanged confused looks.

ABFD: Match?

Justin just shrugs, and Ellie lets out a sigh.

Ellie: Against Salvation...Stan Fulton and Ecosystem.

Both Bill and Justin still look confused.

Ellie: Nascar Stan and the Biosphere.

ABFD: Aww hell those are good fella's it'll be nice to face them again.

Justin: At least it isn't shark draculas any more.

Both Bill and Chuckles nod in agreement at this. Ellie just let's out another deep sigh.

Ellie: Well, I guess this is better than no promo at all.

ABFD: Hell Justin ole boy, we should see if that Nascar Stan want's to join us for some PCPL at the Soggy Bottom Bar.

Ellie: Bill, I don't think that's a real thing.

Justin: Sure it is, it's in Flint Michigan....but we can't go back there.

ABFD: We banned from there?

Justin: We are Banned From Everywhere

ABFD: Hot damn I love when he does that!

You see Christian Carter walking out of Ronald Regan National Airport in Washington DC. A limo pus up and Carter immediately gets in as the driverr comes around opens the door and wispers something in hs ear. His assistant Felicity gets in with him as she gets a shocking discovery. A mans sillouette is seen sitting in front of her but the lighting is so dark you cant tell who it is.

Man: "So I hear you've been busy stirring up trouble in the LBCW and OOWF? Not to mention a skirmish at Mania?

Carter looks at the man and has a grin on his race.

Carter: Unlike all the shit you've been pulling recently right?

The man flicks on the light and to Felicity's belief WWE superstar CM Punk is sitting there. He has something in his hand.

When you called me and asked for a favor I was thinking you wanted me to get you a tryout or something not information on this person. Funny thing is...Vince was very curious as to why i wanted to k ow some things but the boss was all too happy to let me know. I think it sparked his interest into trying to ask her to come in. Anyways...heres the inf you requsted on her...all that I coukd get. What you should do is talk to Moose being that their siblings.

He hands Carter the file and looks at Felicity and gives her a wink...

Phil...you are a genius...thank you man...

Punk: Ryan you are one of my closest friends but you are a crazy mother fucker...I mean you almost kill your own brother...also I heard you went easy on her hubby? That doesnt sound like the Carter I know.

Carter: Well I just wanted to give her the message...but after the incident earlier...I think I should have.

Punk laughs at his comment...

Punk: Anyways have business to handle...so I'll be heading out.Take it easy Ryan...

Carter: Thanks again Phil. I do appreciate it.

They shake hands and Punk lets himself out all the while having his eye on Felicity who looks as if she's beside herself.

Felicity: How do you know Phillip Brooks?

Carter smirks...

Carter: We are Chicagoians...We're almost like family. And family never betrays family...or so you think.

Felicity: Guess Jason didnt get that memo.

Carter: Oh he did...he just ignored it...I may have to remind him just who briught him in...but first we have to worry about tomorrow...Lisa and Jose are no joke and with the movie star being quiet...it looks I may be on my own.

All this time the limo leaves the airport on the way to the hotel.
