*The Saints of Sinners storm into their locker room after Mayhem. LJ Bennett is standing inside and turns just as Stank notices him.*

Stank - YOU!

*Stank stalks over to Bennett and pins him to the wall with his forearm pressed up against Bennett's neck.*

Stank - This is YOUR fault! If you hadn't been so gotdamn overzealous pushing Selena to the floor...!

LDW - Lucas, c'mon. You know that's not the only reason Poe... what are you laughing at?

*Stank and LD turn their attention to Moose who is giggling like a crazy person over in the corner.*

LJB - *PbbbnfT!!* *GACK!* Mr. Mann... trIK!... TRY to... to.. s..see the B.. big picture! Like y...you.. CLAIM! you do!

*Stank stares death into LJ Bennett's eyes, before slowly releasing the pressure he has on the general manager's neck.*

Stank - Even if Poe is pissed at us for his wife being relieved as General Manager... The Kai I get... but WHY the fuck would he side with FUCKING ALEX?? He hates Alex more than any of us in this room except... giggles, over there!

LDW - You said it yourself. He blames us for his wife.

Stank - WHAT THE FUCK IS SO GOTDAMN FUNNY, MOOSE!

*The question just seems to send Moose into further hysterics.*

LJB - I knew what I was doing.

Stank - What?

LJB - I knew what I was doing. Trust me gentlemen. Everything will be alright.... Everything will be just fine.

*Moose finally settles down enough to speak after he spits blood on the floor.*

MHJ - Poe and Alex.... HA! HA! HA!

*Moose walks over to LD and leans and arm on his shoulder.*

MHJ - If that's not the funniest thing ever I don't know what is.

Stank - I fail to see the humor.

MHJ - What are you worried about, Stank? We're still the Five. It's still our world. Nothing demonstrates that more than what we just did out there tonight.

Stank - What? Lose the gotdamn match?

MHJ - No my friend. We lit the goddamn match. HA! HA! HA! This place is about to burn. Can't you feel it? Heh. Heh. Heh.

*Moose walks over to Stank and puts a hand on each of the big man's shoulders.*

MHJ - There's blood in the air... and it's a good day to be the champs!

*Stank looks down at Moose and for the first time in all the time he has known him he doesn't see even a hint of crazy in his eyes... which if you were to ask Stank makes Moose even scarier. The beginnings of smile start to form on Stank's face.*

Stank - You're a fucking lunatic.

MHJ - Takes one to know one.

We cut to a hospital hallway, typical of a post-Mayhem OOWF promo...yet we don't see any laid-up wrestlers as Mai walks down the hallway. She knocks on the door of Room 228 and opens slowly.

Mai: May I come in?

Nurse: Yes, absolutely!

Mai walks over to the bedside of a little bald girl with wide eyes, taking the chair next to the bed. Adults are gathered on the other side, a couple with Make-A-Wish t-shirts.

Mai: You must be Julia. I've heard so much about you!

Julia: You...you have?

Mai: Well, of course. All the OOWF wrestlers take special care to learn about all our biggest fans...especially those as tough as you, Julia.

Julia: ...I can't believe you're a girl!

Mai laughs.

Mai: Um...do I look that bad on TV?

Julia: No, they like...they like, told me one of the wrestling champions would be coming by, and like, I know Firewoman is a girl, but there aren't too many others who are champions, right?

Mai: That's right. But when your body holds you back, you just have to work extra hard, right?

Julia: Sometimes...sometimes it's really hard.

Mai: I know. But that's what makes you a champion. That's why I'm here, to tell you how proud I am of you.

Julia: (with a mischievous smile) If I'm a champion...can I have your belt?

Julia's Mom: Now sweetie--

Mai: Well, unfortunately, the OOWF owns this belt, and I just get to borrow it. However...they don't have to know if we take a quick picture with you as the real champion. That is...if you can keep a secret.

Julia: I can! I can!

Mai: Good.

Mai places her belt on Julia, gently. The two smile and pose for a couple pictures.

Mai: Now Julia, I do have to go a couple different places today, but I have something else for you. (Mai pulls a couple tickets out of her pocket.) I have front row tickets and backstage passes to Mayhem this week, and I'd like you and your mom to be my guests.

Julia bounces happily.

Julia's Mom: Oh, thank you so much! She'll love it--we'll love it.

Mai: It's really the least I could do. But Julia...you have to do me one big favor, okay?

Julia: What?

Mai: When I go out for my match, you have to be SUPER loud, okay? I want to be able to hear my friends when I'm wrestling.

Julia: ...Are we friends?

Mai: I wouldn't have made you a bracelet otherwise.

Mai takes out a little homemade friendship bracelet and places it on Julia's wrist, next to her hospital band, and gives her a hug. As Mai rises, she steps aside and leans in to the mother.

Mai: And thank you so much. It will genuinely be an honor to have you there with Julia.

Mai says goodbye and exits.

~~~ Chad, Zane & Bridgette have arrived in Sandy Fork. They are sitting inside catering having breakfast. ~~~

Chad:....... I still say it borders on Gimmick Infringement.

Zane: Other people are allowed to visit children in hospitals.

Chad: I know, but that's our Thing, Children's Hospitals & Animal Shelters.

Zane: Which we sort of stole from DH.

Chad: Not really. We went with him a few times, and then when he left, we kind of took over.

Bridgette: I'm all for it. The more positive exposure the OOWF gets, the better. And Mai is a nice girl. She's sweet and has her heart in the right place.

Chad: I dunno.....

Zane: You don't like her because she wouldn't go out with you

Chad: That's not it......

Bridgette: Or is it the whole New Guard thing? If you want to hold everyone's past against them, there's not going to be anyone left to cheer for.

Zane: Including us.

Chad: I know I know, but she's just......... creepy

Zane: I don't think so

Bridgette: Neither do I.

Chad: Maybe not, but I get the feeling there's a monster behind her smile.

Zane: No, that's Junichiro. His 'trying to be a face' thing is creepy.

Chad: Maybe you're right.

Zane: of course I am. (smiling) besides you have a rematch to prepare for.

Chad: Yeah.

Bridgette: What?

Chad: I almost don't want it.

Zane: What?

Bridgette: What?

Chad: Listen, I know how valuable Championship Matches are. And with our history with the OOWF & Bennett being in charge, I'm lucky to be getting a rematch. But, now that Zane is back, I kind of want to get Texpress back on top. The only thing better than one of us wearing gold is Both of us wearing gold.

Zane: If I've learned anything these past couple months, it's that you don't take things for granted.

Chad: I.. I miss it tho.

Zane: If it will make you feel better, I'll go get the Clangy Pole out of storage and smack whomever has the DDT Ironman Heavy Metal Championship upside the head and beat them for it.

Chad: Who has that anyway? I hope it's Moose. You taking that from him gives me a great idea for a promo.

Zane: We're in the middle of a promo.

Chad: oh , yeah, (turns to the camera) Hi!

Bridgette: (scrolls through her phone) According to OOWF.com, Justin and Bill are the DDT ironman Heavy Metal Champion.

Zane: Odd.

Chad: And fitting.

Zane: (turns to Bridgette) Did you ever make any headway with the Sinclair people?

Bridgette: Unfortunately no. Our board was on board, Mark & Jay's people were on board, but Sinclair wouldn't agree to it. We're still talking, but it doesn't look good.

Chad: Would have been fun.

Zane: I was kind of looking forward to it, but with Jay as the ROH Champion now, I can see the scheduling conflicts.

Bridgette: That and the fact you two haven't worked together since January hurt things.

Chad: It won't take us long to get back in sync with each other.

Zane: No, one match and I know we'll be on track. And if that match was against the Briscoe Brothers, that would have been fantastic.

Bridgette: I'm sure of it. And Texpress Will Ride Again soon enough.

~~~ They eat for a moment. They are soon approached by Tommy Wilder, who has with him a shiny Onslaught Belt ~~~

Chad: (standing and extending his hand) Congratulations on a heck of a match.

Tommy: It was a BLAST, and I can't wait to do it again.

Chad: You won't have to wait long, Champ.

Tommy: That's right. Wilder/Madison 4D coming up this week. Be ready to ramp it up a couple notches!

Chad: You know it.

Tommy: So, I was thinking, grab you guys, maybe Jos since he's a extremes kind of guy too, and we go do something crazy this afternoon.

Zane: like?

Tommy: Skydiving, Deep sea diving, you name it!

Zane: Well..

Chad: Both at once?

Tommy: You know it! I just gotta burn some energy off. You guys up for it?

Chad: Why not What's the worst that could happen?

Zane: We die?

Bridgette: Oh go and have fun. I'm planning on hitting the salon and getting a massage and a manicure. You boys go relax too.

Zane: You call that relaxing?

Tommy: It's a RUSH!

Chad: It always is.

~~~ Tommy, Chad & Zane get up and head out the door as we fade... ~~~

In the Darling Luxury Suites...

AD: Now THAT is how you make a comeback.

P: We did manage to suprise quite a few people.

Kai comes over with champagne for them all. Alexis and Firewoman are against the wall, arms folded....not looking happy.

AD: Alright, ladies, why do you not just share what's on your mind instead of staring daggers at us all night.

Firewoman doesn't move. Alexis does though.

LD: You can't be serious. After everything....EVERYTHING....you want to sign back on with .... HIM? *pointing at Poe*

AD: Fire and I did tell you--

LD: Fire barely told me anything...she told me enough to keep me from thinking the Five was reforming, actually, and that was it.

P: The Five have never unformed. We're just....disagreeing.

LD: I don't want to hear from you. Alex...when you told me the rest--

AD: I know....but you didn't say that you--

LD: I thought I was going to have more time to convince you what a stupid idea this was.

AD: Lexie...

Alexis storms off. Alex looks at Fire, who waves him to go after her, but has not moved from her position against the wall. He hesitates a minute and then follows Alexis.

P: I know what has you angry, Lioness, and--

FW: Two rules. Two things that were non-negotiable for me to agree to this.

P: I know.

tK: What?

FW: No surprises. No plans, no plotting, no keeping me in the dark. This wasn't supposed to happen until--

P: Yes, well, Bennett and Moose's attack on my Selena--

FW: It was BARELY an attack.

P: --necessitated moving things up a bit.

FW: Even if someone probably shouldn't be medically cleared yet?

P: ...

FW: ...

P: Well, well...this isn't just about rule breaking then, is it.

FW: Do NOT let it happen again. I am in the loop about EVERYTHING.

P: Yes...from now on.

Alexander comes back in, and grabs two glasses of champagne, handing one to Fire as a peace offering. She glares, and then takes it...then gives Alexander a big hug.

AD: FINALLY!

FW: I'm glad you're back. If you are putting your health at risk by being back too early, I'll kill you.

AD: Understood.

tK: Enough already. The Kai thinks it's time to salute the new...say, what are we going to call ourselves?

exGMtSa-T: *taking a glass* Hey yeah! I like Selena's Army.

FW: No....

tK: There's...Me, Alex, Alexis, Fire, Poe...how many is that?

FW/P/AD: NO!

AD: Could do something with NOAH....wait, how 'bout--

P: No.

FW: No names.

Everyone turns to look at Fire, who finally leaves her position against the wall to join the rest.

P: That, my friends, is the second rule. No names. No ... stable. We are a group of friends who will have each others' backs. Nothing more, but more importantly, nothing less.

tK: That was your other rule? The Kai does not understand.

AD: I do...Fire doesn't do well in stables.

FW: Nope.

tK: Fine by me. the Kai has no intention of abandoning his D&D brothers.

FW: Neither do I.

P: Then let us toast to our ... pact? Does that suit you?

Firewoman nods and holds up her glass, as does everyone else. They clink and drink.

exGMtSa-T: Heeehee...the bubbles tickle my nose!

Much laughter ensues...FAAAAAADE

Eco is hobbling slightly as he walks down a hospital aisle with Stan.

Stan: Do you want to get that knee checked out?

Eco: No, no. It's just a little tweaked after the match, it'll work itself out. Besides, we have kids to surprise. Anything my sister can do, I can do better.

Stan: I don't remember you getting any Make-A-Wish calls, Juni.

Eco: THAT'S WHY IT'S A SURPRISE.

Eco kicks the door open and it's...



Stan Fulton: Kevin Ware? I thought you were released from the hospital.

Kevin Ware: Yeah, I'm just doing a quick rehab day. Who are you guys?

Eco: Oh, he's so delirious he doesn't know who we are. (Eco kneels by his bed.) We're very famous wrestlers, Kevin. In fact, I'm Ecosystem, the greatest of all time. Now, I heard you had a very bad leg injury at your high school basketball game--

Ware: NCAA tournament.

Eco: --where you jumped and fell and got leg cancer.

Ware: What? Man, I broke my leg.

Eco: Or something.

Stan: All right, I'm out.

Eco: Anyway, I know you don't think you have much longer to live, what with your broken leg cancer, but I've got a friend who will lift your spirits right up.

Eco ducks under the bed and comes up...with a sock.



Eco: (in a squeaky voice) I'm Mr. Sock-eco! I'm the Sock Version of the greatest wrestler of all time! And I'm going to kiss your boo-boo and make it go away!

Eco immediately starts almost-whacking Ware in the leg with his sock-covered fist while making kissing noises, until Ware's associate promptly shoves him out of the room, knocking him on his ass. He lands next to Stan.

Stan: Well?

Eco: I tell you, Stan, "urban" youth today sure can be ungrateful--

Stan: WE ARE LEAVING. NOW.

<Moose is standing in front of the OOWF banner with the OOWF World Heavyweight title on his shoulder>

SFJ13: I’m here with the OOWF world heavyweight champion Moosehead Jack, Moose, this week Alexander Darling and Poe made surprise returns to the OOWF as the Kai’s partners, and defeated the Saints of Sinners in a six man match, what is your reaction?

MHJ: It makes no difference

SFJ13: Excuse me?

MHJ: It was a six man match. Were there titles on the line? No. Kai beat the greatest wrestler in OOWF history on a fluke move. Poe and Alex, you want to cast your lot with Kai against the Saints, that’s fine. I never get tired of beating on Alex, and if Poe wants to step up…….hey a hospital room for three is fine by me.

SFJ13: You seem unconcerned about Poe’s return. You and LD face he and Kai this week.

MHJ: You know, I always thought Poe was smarter than this. Poe fashions himself as a man who looks at things on a grander scale and evaluates his next move carefully. But that is not what I see now, that is not what he is doing. When Poe was in Japan, when he ran with us in the Five, he was cold. He was calculating. There was no room for emotion. Now? Now, he rushes back to the OOWF to seek vengeance for…….for what exactly?

SFJ13: Well…..you DID humiliate Selena in the middle of the ring…..

MHJ: Because she wasn’t doing her job. Because she had lost focus. Tell me Poe……you remember what you did when your disciples lost focus? You would beat them to within an inch of their lives. You would MAKE them remain focused. And now, you are going to come storming back here playing the hero because your wife couldn’t do her job and someone had the balls to call her on that? Omar, I know you intimidate a lot of people, and I know you are used to people backing down from you. At one time you were a great warrior, and one day you could be again……but where you are coming from now? All you have is pain in front of you. I am not afraid of the big bad Poe, and I will not back down. Go back home. Go spend time with your wife, think about what you are doing, you are teaming with Alexander fucking Darling…….decisions have consequences Omar

SFJ13: You mentioned Alexander Darling, what do you think of his involvement in all this?

SFJ13: I think I honestly don’t give a shit about Alexander Darling anymore. Look Alex, you want another round? I will put you back in the hospital with a lot more than a bum knee. This is our time, this is the Saints of Sinners time, you think it was bad during the Five? Trust me Little Alex, I will die before I let you stop us

SFJ13: And finally, the Kai has a world title shot at Straight Out of Lil Compton.

MHJ: Tell me……has the Kai changed any in four months?

SFJ13: Excuse me?

MHJ: Is the Kai doing anything different now than what he was doing four months ago?

SFJ13: Not that I am aware of

MHJ: Then the Kai can just sit back and shut the fuck up. Kai, listen close. You couldn’t beat me when YOUR title was on the line. You remember that one? The Onslaught title? What the FUCK makes you think you can beat me when MY tile is on the line?

<Stank and LD walk out and flank Moose>

MHJ: I want everyone to listen, and listen carefully. We are the Saints of Sinners. We are the elite, we are the greatest this company has ever seen. You don’t have to believe it, but you have to accept it. We do what we want, when we want. And what we want, is for the OOWF to burn. All the White Hats, please, step up to the plate. Let the world know you are going to be the one to stop us, tell all those fucking moron fans how you are going to do the right thing. Play into their hands, dance like little puppets for the idiots in the crowd. At the end of the day, you are going to be left lying a bloody mess in the middle of the ring, and there is not a goddamn thing you can do to stop us. Don’t believe us? Then you haven’t been paying attention. <Moose smirks> Trust us.

<Moose turns to LD and Stank and whispers something to them, then get an evil grin and nod and walk off. Moose heads in the opposite direction to Kofi Kingstons Koffee Kingdom where Firewoman is sitting drinking a coffee. Moose sits down across the table from her, Fire glares at him and just shakes her head>

MHJ: Ok, NOW what is your problem?

FW: YOU

MHJ: Uh huh. You know, you are getting to be awfully high maintenance. Dare I say…….a diva

FW: Not if you want to keep all your teeth

MHJ: Then stop being such an asshole

FW: ME? You are the one who got Selena fired. You are the one that brought Bennett back. YOU are the one that wants ANOTHER war!

MHJ: I got Selena fired because she wasn’t doing her job, she was playing favorites, and clearly YOU were no longer her favorite

FW: Oh really?

MHJ: How’d that rematch go for ya?

FW: It was a scheduling conflict

MHJ: Really. So I guess the whole “card subject to change” is just a crock of shit then huh?

FW: I still haven’t got the match, and now your boy Bennett is in charge

MHJ: I told him to make the match

FW: Sure you did. That doesn’t change the fact that YOU brought him in and want another war

MHJ: War is inevitable, whether Bennett was here or not. Bennett has more of a mind for this business than Selena ever will. Beside, you have NO fucking idea what he is going to do, but you already have your mind made up that it will be bad

FW: How could BURNING the OOWF down be a good thing?

MHJ: From the ashes, the phoenix rises

FW: Oh good. Alex and I can kick all of your asses

MHJ: Or get your asses kicked by all of us. Look, I am tired of trying with you. You want to jump to conclusions? You want to automatically side against your brother and two men that you consider brothers? Fine. I can’t stop you. I am tired of kissing your ass. I am tired of every fucking time I MOVE I have to justify it to you. If you can’t see the writing on the wall, if you can’t see the way things were headed……then maybe you were part of the problem too. So you just go ahead and bring Poe back to team with fucking ALEX. It’s their funeral, and because you are so fucking judgmental, their blood will be on YOUR hands

<Moose gets to his feet and flips the table over. Fire gets to her feet and they go eye to eye>

MHJ: I’m done kissing your ass sis. You want to BE a diva, I will fucking treat you like one. Every fucking thing I do, you make sure you are on the opposite side. I am tired of it.

<Moose turns and storms down the hall. As he rounds the corner, he sees the Kai standing there. Moose smirks and grabs a clangy pole. The Kai just smirks and says something in Hawaiian and Alex and Poe round the corner as Stank and LD back Moose>

Kai: Not so tough when the odds are even, are you?

MHJ: <smirking> Kai……don’t you know things always favor the champions?

<just then, the Draculs, Vlad, Tavian and Radu attack Poe, Alex and Kai from behind. Radu clips Alex’s knee and he falls to the floor in pain, and Radu grabs a chair and repeatedly slams it down on his injured knee. Tavian and Vlad hammer Poe with punches, and we see they have chains wrapped around their fists. Its no long before Poe is slumped against the wall a bloody mess. Kai moves to attack Tavian and Radu, but Moose, Stank and LD charge in and DESTROY Kai. He eats a STANK-U and a CANADIAN DESTROYER on the floor and is left not moving. Security finally gets there and separates them all, Moose shakes hands with the Draculs, and the three of them go their own way. Moose, LD and Stank turn and head down another hall. Just as they leave, Moose sees Fire standing there glaring at him. He smirks and walks away>

<Fade>

[BookerShark]

Mai bursts into LJ Bennett's office.

Mai: Did you see what just happened out there with your champions?

LJB: I'm sorry, have you heard of knocking?

Mai: Sorry...I was just really worked up. And I guess we haven't met yet...I'm Mai Muyo.

LJB: Yes, you're our new Intercontinental Champion...and Ecosystem's sister. Your brother and I don't have the warmest of histories. (glares) And I'm sure he has informed you, much as I will now, that wrestling is a tough business and fights sometimes happen, and people can get hurt. You're welcome to join in the fray yourself. I don't intend to play policeman.

Mai: I understand that, but at the same time, we do have kids watching the show, and...I don't know, I've been thinking that we should make it really clear that this behavior is not okay in daily life.

LJB: What are you suggesting, sending OOWF wrestlers to Be A STAR rallies? (LJ laughs.)

Mai: (perking up) It couldn't hurt, right?

Bennett glares.

LJB: You want to represent this company well? Do a media appearance for us.

LJ hands Mai a card.

Mai: Freethought Radio?

LJB: An atheist radio station sponsored by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. They're celebrating the taking down of a Jesus mural in a public high school this week, and they've been trying to get more sports figures on the show. That is...unless your famed "love" doesn't extend to those with whom you disagree.

Mai: ...I'll go.

LJB: Good. Now get the hell out of my office.

*The Murphys are in the Destroyitarium, watching the Masters on TV*

D: That Chinese kid has a set.

DK: That he does. How about Fred Couples? That old guy can go.

D: Think the old man knows Leishman?

DK: I texted Wally, but he hasn't gotten back to me.

*SFJ 33 walks in*

SFJ: Can I ask you guys about your match?

D: Whatever.

DK: Sure, OK. We get a shot at the supposedly reformed sinners. We will wrestle a clean match, but we have a lot of anger and will express that, and those SOB's will pay the consequences.

SFJ: Thanks, guys.

*Daniella grabs the microphone*

D: My brother doesn't always speak for me. Fulton, we will wrestle a clean match, but still, payback's a bitch.

[BookerShark]

As DK and Danielle finish their promo, The Kai enters the room. DK stands up and knuckle bumps Kai.

DK: Nice one last mayhem, way to pull a fast one on the SOS.

The Kai: Thanks Brah, and I'm glad to see your pretty sister has taken off her mask.

DK: (jokingly) You stay away from my sister.

The two share a laugh that is interrupted by the sound of a drink being slammed down. The camera pans over and we see a somewhat irritated Dynamite Danny Taylor has put his mug down and rises. He just sort of stares at DK and Kai for a minute before shaking his head and walking into the back.

DK: What's wrong with him?

The Kai: The Kai has no clue brah.

Voice from off screen: Really, seems pretty obvious to me.

DK and Kai turn and see Victor sitting at a table going over some paperwork.

The Kai: Well explain it to The Kai, because at the moment he is confused.

Victor stands up and let's out a little sigh.

DVD: Are the two of you still with Drink and Destroy?

The Kai: Of course, The Kai has already said that he wishes to stay with his brah's in D&D.

DK: I'm not even sure why you are asking me this.

At this point Vic loses his cool a little and becomes slightly red faced.

DVD: You don't know? You don't know? Really, we are supposed to be a team, that man that just walked away would go to hell and back for either of you if you asked... and that's just it, when it came time, did either of you ask.

Victor turns and points a finger at DK.

DVD: You and your sister decide to go on a path of vengeance, and couldn't even be bothered to give us a heads up.

DK: This was a personal thing with me and Danielle, Danny wouldn't understand.

DVD: Really, Danny wouldn't understand getting payback for Jack? I mean, it's not like the man was his mentor or anything.

Vic then turns to Kai.

DVD: And you. Danny reached out to you when he had zero reason too, and when you decide you need backup against the Saints, did you come to him for help, no.

The Kai: They would have expected that, Poe they did not.

DVD: Great, and this week when Stank steps in the ring looking to make someone pay for the embarrassment he just received, it won't be Poe he's facing, it's Danny.

The Kai: Danny is tough, he can hold his own against Stank.

DVD: Not the point, the point is, if you had simply told him what you were planning, he would have stood with you.

At this point Vic takes a deep breath and calms himself.

DVD: Danny is not mad because of what either one of you has done lately, he's just disappointed that neither of you trusted him enough to let him stand by you.

The Kai: The Kai does trust him.

DK: Same here.

DVD: Then show it. I know neither of you meant to, but you have both put us solidly in the line of fire, and now we have to deal with the fall out of that. If Drink and Destroy is going to work, we have to be open and honest with each other. DK, talk to your sister, if she is with us, fine. We will always have our doors open for Jack's kids, but certain lines can't be crossed, and you know that.

DK nods and tosses a glance back to where his sister is sitting watching.

DVD: And Kai, you know the history you and Danny have had, not letting him in on this, it reopened some old wounds. Now Danny faces a very angry, very deadly man, that you just poked with a rather large stick. In the future, a little warning would be nice.

The Kai: The Kai thinks he understands.

DVD: Good, now both of you, take some time, decide what you really want, and give Danny a little time to cool off as well. Then decide...can we make this work, because I still think we can...but only if we stay honest with each other, because if we don't...nothing good can come of it.

With that Victor heads to the back to check on Danny as DK and Kai just exchange looks.

LDW: <chuckles> “Kai, Poe and Darling vs. the Saints…a better beginning has never been written.

Selena, I don’t like how it happened, but removing you from office was necessary - as much for your sake as anyone else’s. Being OOWF GM is a thankless job, especially for someone with your unique blend of innocence and darkness. The Selena I saw at Mayhem this week? That’s the Selena I remember. The Selena I admire. The Selena I still consider family. As for your beloved…

I regret the circumstances, Omar, but welcome back regardless. Partner or opponent, you have been missed. Alexander…less so. You know how to pick partners Kai, I’ll give you that. And tonight you held your own with the best in the world - hell you beat me. An impressive showing, but again, only the beginning.

The Saints are not about destroying competition. Just the opposite - we foster it. The stronger the opponent, the more difficult the battle, the sweeter the victory. The world cried foul when we joined forces, but now the White Hats have formed an alliance much larger than ours, and everyone is fine with that. Truth is, so are we - it’s what we were hoping for.

Now…the war well and truly begins.

This week, Poe and Kai face off against L.D. Williams and Moosehead Jack. Before the Saints, before the Five, there was kz - kinzen zansatsu - Joyful Slaughter. Jim Cornette’s vision of twin sons from different mothers twisted to nightmarish conclusion. United not only in our in-ring abilities, but also in violence and blood lust. Poe, Kai, as good as you are, as pure as your motives may be, and much as you may have worked together in the past, you have never faced anything like kz. You can’t plan, you can’t prepare, you can’t win. Your best possible outcome is survival.

We are the Saints. Our mercy is your only hope.

*Daniella Murphy catches up to Danny in a back room of the Destroyitarium*

D: I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner.

*DDT shrugs his shoulders*

D: I know what it's like to be "different", and what it's like to find a place where you fit in, and what it's like when there's a threat of that being taken away from you.

*DDT scratches his head, then raises his eyebrows. He makes a gesture like swinging something over his head with both arms.*

D: I honestly did not hit Pat Summit on purpose. *She shuts off a light switch, leaving just one light bulb on.* Trust me.

*Daniella turns the other lights back on. She and Danny stare at each other, then they both smile.*

D: I almost forgot the other reason why I came back here. I see there are Draculs around here.

*DDT nods*

D: We don't have wooden stakes handy, but my brother has some hurleys stashed back here. I think I'll keep one behind the bar, just in case.

LJ Bennett is sitting in his office and stuff. Firewoman comes and sits down.

LJB: Make yourself at home.

FW: Hi. I am here to--

LJB: May I just first say how HONORED I am that you've dropped by to see me finally. It's been so long since we've seen each other.

FW: Uh huh. Listen--

LJB: And what a CAREER you've had here! You've gone from a new kid on the block to Grand Slam Champion! The first FEMALE Grand Slam champion. And wow....Moose's sister...hell, even *I* didn't know that my first time around here. It does explain a few things though--

FW: Right. Anyway--

LJB: And that WEDDING! WOW! And...well, gee we can't even begin to name all the things that have happened to you since then. So ... you're welcome.

FW: I'm....huh?

LJB: Oh yes, it was your role, small as it was, in galvanizing sides in the Team Rick/Team Bennett war that made that all happen. Put OOWF on the map.

FW: And cost you your job, if I remember correctly.

LJB: A small bump in the road. Either way, OOWF's success directly led to your own, so...You. Are. Welcome.

FW: My small role? You mean getting the crap kicked out of me?

LJB: Exactly!

FW: *shakes head* Okay, well....thanks then? But I'm not here--

LJB: You're not here for a walk down memory lane, are you. No, you are here to demand your contractually obligated rematch from your brother, right?

FW: Yes. I--

LJB: I was thinking....You know, we have you, Mai, Daniella, Alexis...I've got some other prospects...how would like a shot at being the first WOMEN'S champion in OOWF?

FW: What? NO, I want a shot at--

LJB: I Know, I know, but women's wrestling is hot right now, especially in the indies. SHIMMER's PPV and ticket sales this weekend were higher than they've ever been, so I say let's jump on that gravy train right now.

FW: I....but....NO absolutely not.

LJB: No? I'm sad to hear you say that, Fire...I was really hoping, in your role as pioneer of women's wrestling here at OOWF--

FW: There is no 'Women's Wrestling' at OOWF. There is just WRESTLING. Athlete against athlete. THAT is what put OOWF on the map.

LJB: Hm...well, I guess if you refuse--

FW: If I wanted that I would have taken Vince's very GENEROUS offer from this past weekend.

LJB: Oh, yeah, I can see you being really happy and well used there.

FW: No, but certainly paid better.

LJB: You've been hanging aroudn the Darlings too long if all you care about is the money.

FW: Fine, Dixie Carter also has made generous offers and....what's that?

Bennett has pulled a file out of a drawer.

LJB: Your contract. I'm sure you don't know exactly what's in it. I mean the gist, but I remember that Lucky handles all that pesky paperwork for you. Do you know what this paragraph here says?

FW: Well, I can't read upside down.

LJB: This is the part about disclosing when you are engaged in negotiations with competing promotions.

FW: I...wasn't negotiating...they call me, I turn them dow--

LJB: So you say, so you say....And THIS part is your 90-day no compete clause.

FW: I'm not negotiating with--

LJB: Now, I'm inclined to overlook that since I've just taken over. But I could terminate you on the spot.

FW: ....*glaring daggers*....

LJB: ....*smirking wildly*....

FW: Whatever. Give me my rematch.

LJB: No, I think I want to explore this other option a bit.

FW: Fine. I can go to the board.

She gets up to leave.

LJB: You do that, Fire.

FW: Tell Moose, that his plan backfired. We traded one GM who he accused of playing favorites, for one that CLEARLY does.

LJB: I'm not--

FW: Protecting your champion? Oh the hell you aren't. When he's done hiding behind you, he knows where to find me. Although something tells me he won't be too happy to hear you blocking this.

Then we get to find out who is REALLY calling the shots.

Firewoman storms out slamming the door. A guy comes in who must be some sort of office assistant.

Guy: Are we really creating a women's division?

LJB: No, don't be stupid.

Guy: But you said--

LJB: Just reminding her who is in charge.

Faaaaaaaaaaade.

[BookerShark]

<Moose is sitting in the back when SFJ13 approaches him>

MHJ: Again?

SFJ13: People want to hear from the champ

MHJ: Fine

SFJ13: People have said you are completely discrediting Alexander Darling, Poe and the Kai and dismissing them as non-threats to your title. What do you have to say to that?

MHJ: <laughing> Ok, first, Alexander Darling. I have said all I ever need to say about him. How’s the knee Alex? Pretty sore I’ll bet.

SFJ13: What about Poe? He looked good in his return.

MHJ: you know, Poe said a war between us was inevitable. Is it really Omar? If you really think war between us is inevitable, it’s because you have wanted war all along. What happened to Selena needed to happen, and if you can’t see that, then there is nothing I can do to change your mind. Just consider this fact Omar……in your career, your greatest enemy has been Alexander Darling, the man that took you to the very limit of your abilities…..and won. What you see before you is the man who took Alexander Darling to HIS very limits…….and won. You see what happened to Selena as a personal attack……I think she made things very clear Omar, it was all business. I know what you can do when motivated, I have seen rage in your eyes and fire in your blood. And, at the same time, you and I have been in that ring together enough so you know what I will do…..but this time it is different Omar. This time I have a title that I will die to keep. There is nothing…….NOTHING I won’t do to keep this belt. Consider that my friend.

SFJ13: And finally, the Kai

MHJ: The Kai. The Nightmarcher. The Flyin Hawaiian. One of Poe’s disciples. The man who won the very first Elimination Chamber in OOWF history. The Kai managed to outlast some of the best in the OOWF. Quite an impressive display Kai. You and your brothers feud with the Texans is the stuff of legend. The talk on everyone’s lips these days is, is Kai ready to take the next step. Is Kai ready to be the man to stop the Saints of Sinners before they can ever get started. Is Kai willing to go to hell and back to pry this title from my hands

<Moose just smirks>

MHJ: Are you Kai? Or are you worried about the Murphys? You were right there when the New Guard destroyed Outback Jack. What if they decided to return the favor? For all your talent, for all your talk, for all your bluster……are you really willing to take that last step? I don’t think you are. If you think you can take this from me Kai…….<channeling the Rock> BRING IT

SFJ13: Care to clarify your comments to Stank from earlier? Why is this a good time to be the champion?

MHJ: There’s blood in the water. Stank and LD said it before, we make the OOWF go round. When Fire and the rest of the Darlings have a drink with Davin and the Texans, do people immediately lose their shit? No. When the Five have a drink, alliances are discussed, panic spreads through the locker room. When LD, Stank and I actually got on the same page as the Saints of Sinners……look what has already happened. Poe, a man who has had, what, three matches in the last three years?, he suddenly comes back. Alexander Darling, a man with a broken knee, decides to push his schedule up to make his return. The White Hats in the Destroyitarium are circling the wagons……we control the OOWF, we make the OOWF dance without even lifting a finger. And now that we hold the gold? It’s on THEM to stop US. Let the slaughter begin.

SFJ13: Finally, Fireowman still has not got her mandatory rematch, why?

MHJ: I have no idea. I told Bennett to make the match. Fire earned it, Fire deserves it

SFJ13: She questions your willingness to defend against her

MHJ: Yes, well…..I am not the one with the clause in my contract banning matches against my sibling, am I?

<Moose smirks and turns and walks away>

*DK Murphy sits down across from The Kai in a booth in the Destroyitarium*

TK: You saw what Moose said.

DK: I did. I have the advantage of having grown up watching OOWF-TV, so I know how to interpret what Moose says pretty well.

TK: And?

DK: You and I talked about this a while ago. We are cool. We are Drink & Destroy, and if haters want to hate, so be it. I have your back, and so does my sister.

TK: The Kai is glad to hear that.

DK: One piece of advice, though.

TK The Kai is all ears.

*DK glances over toward the bar, where Daniella is pouring shots of Jamesons for a crowd watching the Masters.*

DK: Don't order a drink with a lot of ingredients if she is bartending. She can get a little irate.

TK: As opposed to her usual self?

DK: Exactly.

~~~ We fade in to The Hallway. Bridgette is walking alone, in her best business attire. Let's assume she has a meeting. She passes by Ghosthead's locker room just as Shannon Mann is walking out. ~~~

Bridgette: Hi there shug.

Shannon: Don't call me that.

Bridgette: Just being polite.

Shannon: You don't have to do that. There's no reason for us to interact at all. ESPECIALLY this week.

Bridgette: Believe me hon, I know that our guys are wrestling this week. I've listened while Zane has broken down his arsenal move by move over and over.

Shannon: That's cute. None of his preparations will matter. The Death Knell will rise up and strike, and I'm afraid Zane will be the next in a long line of casualties of the Blood Moon.

Bridgette: Well, I don't believe in all your astrology & such, but I can promise you, this isn't the Zane Myers who left here in January. he's stronger, has more endurance AND is more agile.

Shannon: None of that will matter.

Bridgette: If you say so shug. Gotta go.

~~~ Bridgette heads down the hall, Shannon glaring at her as we fade... ~~~

[BookerShark]

FADE in at the Dover International Speedway. Standing on the backstretch are Stan Fulton and Awesome Bill From Dawsonville.

ABFD: “Glorious.”

SF: “Amen. I’m glad we decided to do this.”

ABFD: “You mean visiting any nearby NASCAR tracks when we tour? Yeah.”

SF: “Yes and no. Yeah, visiting these tracks, even when there isn’t a race is great and all, but I mean getting away from the OOWF for even a little bit to let the mind and body heal.”

ABFD: “Yeah.”

Fulton and Bill just stand and take in the venue. Finally they look at one another, nod and head to the waiting pace car. Bill gets behind the wheel.

ABFD: “So, you have the Murphys this week.”

SF: “Yep. Interesting how Danielle is a heel and DK keeps trying to be this face.”

ABFD: “The gal is a heel?”

SF: “Well, sure. I understand the revenge storyline...”

Kayfabe, sitting in the back seat taps Stan on the shoulder and wags her finger at him.

SF: “... but to go about it by wearing a mask and attacking people, including Mai, backstage is a full-on heel act. Now if she would have come straight out and demanded satisfaction in the ring? That would have been the face-y way.”

ABFD: “Shoot, NASCAR Stan. I’m learnin’ all sorts of stuff from you today.”

SF: “I don’t know that I’ve taught you all that much. You must have seen that Denny Hamlin is a serious douchebag without me pointing it out.”

ABFD: “Hell yeah, son. I done noticed.”

SF: “Anyway, I know how she feels. I am not happy with myself for my actions back then. But she’s not willing to accept that people can change. She’s in full-on revenge mode and nothing will sway her.”

ABFD: “A quick punch between the eyes might.”

Fulton smiles.

SF: “That it might. But I don’t operate that way anymore.”

ABFD: “Son, there’s something that ol’ Moose said that I agree with. A man is what he is. He doesn’t change what’s really inside of him.”

Fulton looks at Bill as Bill steers around the speedway.

SF: “So, which do you think I am? The heel I started in the OOWF as or the man I am today.”

ABFD: “Hell, son. I don’t make those distinctions. That’s between you and whatever god you have.”

SF: “You’re wiser than you usually let on.”

ABFD: “Well I’ve not had a PCPL drink in about an hour, so I’m a bit more... how do you say it? Lucid.”

Fulton nods.

SF: “You face Alex on Wednesday. Any concern?”

ABFD: “That Mrs. Firewoman is an ornery critter alright. But he’s gonna play me fair I think. He’s got a lot on his mind, what with his marriage, his war with ol’ Moose, Stankopotomus and Elly-D. Now who’s this Edgar Allen Poe feller?”

SF: “Poe is a OOWF Hall of Famer and used to team with Moose, Stank, LD and Firewoman. They called themselves the Five.”

ABFD: “The Five what?”

SF: “Just The Five.”

ABFD: “They called themselves Just the Five? That’s an odd name, son.”

SF: “They’ve been hinting at a reunion for a long time. Who knows if it will ever happen.”

ABFD: “And this new General Motors dude? JBL?”

SF: “LJ Bennett. No idea. I came on under the GMtheRick regime and then Selena as General Manager. I wasn’t here for the Rick-Bennett war. Juni was. We’ll have to talk.”

ABFD: “He seems... oily.”

SF: “You’re not just whistlin’ Dixie, my friend.”

Now it’s Bill’s time to smile.

SF: “Enough of shop talk. There’s a race tonight. I’ve got us a conference room here at the speedway lined up with a direct feed from Texas Motor Speedway pumped into a huge HDTV. With a full barbeque meal for us, Justin, Juni, Mai and anyone in the OOWF. I’m considering this a neutral site event. No feuds, no wars, no fights. Everyone’s welcome and everyone’s to behave or you and I toss them out onto the finish line.”

ABFD: “Son. That is... beautiful. I might cry.”

SF: “Everyone deserves it.”

Fulton gets a faraway look in his eyes.

SF: “There is a war coming, Bill. I don't know when or who we'll be fighting. But it's coming."

ABFD: “When you play the OOWF, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”

Both turn and look at each other.

Both: “Winter is coming...”

FADE

[BookerShark]

FADE in at the speedway in Dover. In a huge conference room, watching the NASCAR race are Stan Fulton and Awesome Bill From Dawsonville. Also in the room, but not really interested in NASCAR are Junichiro and Mai Muyo and Justin Sane.

ABFD: “Damn. Rowdy is leading again.”

SF: “I hate Kyle Busch.”

ABFD: “Son, I’m wid’ja. That boy done been a pain in our collective butts for years.”

SF: “I wouldn’t mind Kyle winning so much if he wasn’t such a jerk.”

Bill looks around the room.

ABFD: “Not a great turnout.”

SF: “There wasn’t a lot of notice.”

Mai comes near and overhears the last comments.

MM: “We’re not on a lot of the roster’s Christmas card lists. Saints of Sinners never respected us; the Murphys think they have a vendetta against any and all former New Guard members. Folz and Evans are working the moody loner bit and the Darling entourage rarely associates with anyone unless they’re the ones putting on the shindig.”

Fulton looks over at Bill.

SF: “What she said.”

ABFD: “Well, more barbeque for us, then!”

FADE

[BookerShark]

*Same Conference Room*

There's a knock on the door and everyone's heads turn and they see Firewoman standing there and she's pulling Alex towards the door.

Mai: You came!!!

Firewoman: We did. I wanted to make sure you knew that no matter what else happens, we're still friends. *Snaps her friendship bracelet*

Mai: *snaps hers in return* Come in. Come in. There's food and drinks and random people down there driving in circles.

Alex: Fun. *Whispering to Fire* Why are we here again?

Fire: Because you owe me after last weekend. And for keeping secrets. And just because I wanted you to come with me.

Alex: That's fine. I can handle some other business while I'm here. *Glares at Eco*

Firewoman: You promised to be on your best behavior.

Alex: *holds his hands up* I promise I won't lay a hand on anyone. But I do need to discuss gimmick infringement with someone. *Starts to walk over to Stan and whistles*

There's a pitter patter of hooves and Alexander's direwolf Stark walks into the room

Stan: Hold on now.

Alex: *Pats Stark on the head and he sits* Stan, Stan, Stan...for someone who loves teasing kayfabe, you should know there's a penalty for stealing from others.

Stan: Like you stole it from it's original source.

Alex: Totally besides the point.

Stan: So, what...you gonna have your gigantic pet wolf devour me now?

Alex: What? NO. He smelled the barbecue and followed me. Can I get him a plate?

Justin walks over and kneels in front of the wolf and they seem to be engaging in some sort of internal discussion before they both nod and head over towards the food. Alex and Stan just shake their heads.

Alex: No, the penalty is you have to buy the first round of beers if I have to suffer through Nascar Racing for the wife.

Stan: So, we're good?

Alex: Don't see why we wouldn't be. But, I do have to give you a bit of advice, calling for Winter is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I should know. So unless you're sure you're ready to risk EVERYTHING when the time comes, hold off on the war and end of time.

Stan: But the Saints. Poe. Drink & Destory. DEA. All of it coming together at the same time...

Alex: On our end, it's just a matter of making sure there are enough people to watch your back. You've got yourself a strange bunch here, but it's a good one. Don't think there's more going on. Yet.

Stan: Fair enough. Now pull up a chair and watch the race.

Alex: Will do. Now where is that cutie Danica?

Fire: What was that Alex?

Alex: Nothing dear. Just watching the race. *Smirks*

*Fade*

*The Murphys are watching OOWF-TV*

D: Hey, Dom, looks like some people are pissed off at us.

DK: Dee, what else is new?

D: We might be disqualified as faces.

DK: Crikey!

D: Seriously?

DK: Whatever, Dee.

D: Yeah, whatever. We might be excluded from the league of leg-breaking faces.

DK: Yeah, whatever. The Sox won.

We see Matt Folz completing an early morning jog, when Jeremy Punswick comes up to him.

JP: We've never officially met, I'm Jeremy Punswick.

MF: I know who you are, I just don't give a shit about the new people until I have to.

JP: We're partners this week, we should probably talk about our strategy

MF: Here's our strategy. You can do whatever the fuck you want to the other 3 people in the match, I don't care. But Chris Evans is MINE. I've seen you in the ring, you are certainly talented enough, and you haven't had reason to appear on my radar yet. Believe me, you don't want to piss me off and change that.

Folz walks away before Punswick can respond and we... FADE

[BookerShark]

Firewoman looks out the windows of the skybox at the race underneath. Mai walks up and joins her.

FW: So that's it? They just drive around?

MM: No...sometimes they pull in to get gas and change tires. Then there are wrecks.

FW: 'Kay....

MM: Yeah, I don't get it either, but Stan and Bill like it.

Fire turns away from the window and takes a seat at the table. Mai joins her.

MM: Are we really friends, Fire?

FW: We...I guess...sure...

MM: We could form a club! The "sisters of crazy brothers" club!

FW: Heh....maybe.

A waiter comes up and offers some snacks. Fire gives him a lecture about meat being murder, so he leaves.

FW: So that stuff about Eco as the Joker...I looked up Harley Quinn...that's me?

MM: Well...it's maybe a stretch but--

FW: It's not bad. I kind of like her. And I think it does explain a lot about your brother.

MM: Oh good! So, you guys can--

FW: No, Mai. I mean, we can coexist in the same company. We can even share a skybox at a NASCAR race, and maybe VERY occasionally share small talk. But Eco and I cannot be friends. He knows it. That's why he's staying on that side of the room, and not looking over here, except through the side of his eyes as if he thinks I won't notice, although he knows I will.

MM: But--

FW: Seriously...if he takes one step this direction, what do you think Alex will do? And if he somehow makes it past Alex?

MM: *sigh* You're right. What are we going to do about our brothers.

FW: I have no idea. I don't know even know why he yelled at me.

MM: He called you a diva.

FW: I know. Life lesson for you, Mai. Whenever a woman sticks to her guns, demands what is rightfully hers, and refuses to compromise her beliefs, she's a "diva." Men do that, and they are being manly.

MM: Ooooohhh.....so....how do we stop them?

FW: Who? Men?

MM: Saints of Sinners?

FW: Who says we need to?

MM: Well, if Bennett almost ruined the company before--

FW: Then we deal with it.

MM: But Moose...he's not afraid of anything. I mean...anyone else, Poe comes OUT OF RETIREMENT to come after you, they have at least a moment of *oh no.*

FW: The real question is who is in charge...Bennett or Moose.

MM: But--

FW: You like comic books right?

MM: LOVE them.

FW: Okay. What is kryptonite.

MM: It's like the one thing in the universe that can bring Superman down.

FW: Right.

MM: But I don't--

FW: Everyone has their kryptonite. That one thing that will render them completely helpless, or at least give their opponent the advantage. A few of us have made our CAREERS on figuring that one thing out about our opponents. Heck, I've been doing it since I was on my own, as a way to survive. Alex does it, almost as well as I do....Your brother is one of the best at it. It's how he was able to form Trinity.

MM: Well, great, but like I said, Moose doesn't have kryptonite.

Firewoman picks up her drink and sips it, trying to cover a smile.

MM: Wait.....why are you smiling?

FW: Everyone has something Mai.

Firewoman smiles at her sideways and stands up. She goes over to where Alex is sitting with Stan to join them.

*Amazing Jos is in the promo room, standing in front of the OOWF banner*


Jos: I'm not looking for any sympathy and i'm not looking to make excuses.

Chris Evans, Christian Carter, you got the best of Myself and Firewoman last Wednesday. Rest assure, this wrong will be righted when fate decides the time and place.

Until then, I must dust myself off and focus on the road ahead. My path has led me to an opportunity to redemption.

You see, i'm not satisfied with my performance here in OOWF. Since before the Punswick match, I haven't been on my A-game. I've been coasting by or getting lucky for too long.

A wise man once said, luck is for losers and I have to say I agree, 100. I've got a 4 way "Proving Ground" match with Justin Sane, Ms. Alexis Darling and the baddest biatch on the block, Mai Muyo. Any other man would be on their knees, praying to god for a stroke of luck. But not me.

I'm a lot of things, i'm a shit talker, naturally rebellious, a smart ass, a karaoke Champion, a womanizer, stubborn and competitive. The last two really hit the spot when I think about it. Especially when i'm talking about this match.

I'm too stubborn to realize the odds are against me. As a matter of fact, my mind actually welcomes the challenge, even though others have told me i'm crazy if I think i'm gonna win. People say Carter or Punswick could interfere, people claim Alexis and Justin will get in my way, people claim Mai will have the extra motivation to earn a win. Alot of this makes sense, but honestly, i'm too ignorant to really give a shit. To make things worse, my competitiveness has pushed me to not only outshine everyone in that match, but now i'm compelled to one up Ms. Mai and target her specifically. Its nothing personal, gurl, You know we are cool. But i'll be damned if I don't capitalize on this opportunity to rape the competition and redeem myself with a future title shot against you.

Once I get that title shot and win, everything will be right in the universe. I know I can carry this Company, like a champion should, but I need to start winning like a champion! 1 out of 4 odds? I laugh, hahahahaha. Bitchez, prepare to be amazed!

Shannon - This is it.

*Ghosthead stops their red 2012 Camaro SS at the intersection of Laurel and Shiloh Church road.*

Ghost - This?

Shannon - I will never understand the logic behind OOWF bookings of their shows.

Ghost - We wrestle in cities great and small.

Shannon - Small?... try nonexistent. Let me see if I can reach your brother.

Ghost - No need. There is a sign.

*Shannon looks up through the windshield and spies the OOWF logo on a sign with an arrow pointing down Shiloh Church road. Ghosthead turns the car in that direction and they cruise on for about a mile and a half where they come upon a large building in the middle of an open field. There is a circus like tent set up nearby out in the open field. Various OOWF crew and staff are milling about, setting up booths for fan access as Ghosthead pulls into the building's parking lot. He parks the car and is about to get out when a staff member strolls over and directs them to park in the back of the building. Ghost reverses the car and cruises toward the back as instructed.*

Shannon - This building is a slaughterhouse.

*Ghosthead smirks.*

Shannon - So I've been watching video on Zane Myers.

Ghost - Yes and talking with his woman.

Shannon - It was brief. There was nothing of consequence said.

Ghost - While I have found the Darling's careful watch for a Mayan cult long dead and it's pursuit of a prophecy broken and unfulfilled... amusing... I do not understand why you invoke The Blood Moon, especially in regards to Zane Myers.

Shannon - Well... first the Mayan's may be dead, but you know as well as I that the cult was bigger than them. Don't tell me you've already forgotten about the priest with the sword back in Europe.

Ghost - I've dismissed him as a crazed fanatic trying to play games.

Shannon - I didn't. You know we've seen evidence of the cult's activities all over the world.

Ghost - The prophecy is over. The world has moved on... and so have I. You still have not answered my question about The Blood Moon.

Shannon - ... ... I don't know. I was just trying to freak Bridgette out.

Ghost - By telling her that Zane will be another in a long line of casualties to Firewoman?

Shannon - ... a diversionary tactic?

Ghost - Do not attempt to deceive me, wife. There's something you're not telling me.

Shannon -

Ghost - You had another one of those visions.

Shannon - No.

Ghost - Wife.

Shannon - No Jared.

*Ghosthead gives Shannon a wary, sideways, glance as he parks the car. Shannon ignores him and continues on, closing the thread of conversation.*

Shannon - Anyway, Zane is a lot like Matt Folz. Similar in build and strength. It's remarkable how well he and Chad Madison work together as a team, amazing even. It's like they are one. Separate them however and there is a different story. I think of the two, Chad has the edge when it comes to singles competition. Zane had a brief run with the Intercontinental Championship so that's not to say he isn't any good in singles combat, but there are several negatives to exploit.

Ghost -

Shannon - Are you listening?

Ghost - Continue.

Shannon - While similar to Folz in build and strength, Folz is far superior in technical ability. Zane probably has more heart however which will lead him to take more risks. You might be able to goad... ... Jared?

Ghost -

Shannon - Husband?

*Ghosthead, sans face paint, removes his sunglasses and stares out the window as he removes the keys from the ignition.*

Ghost - What is it?

Shannon - You seem distracted.

Ghost - I'm listening.

*Shannon follows Ghosthead's gaze and spies Victor Dinero, The Kai, Danny Taylor, and DK Murphy walking along side of the tent, toward one of the booths being set up near the entrance. About a dozen yards behind them The Saints of Sinners are talking amongst themselves with periodic glances in Drink & Destroy's direction.*

Shannon - We can continue this later, husband.

*Ghosthead looks down and rubs the middle of his forehead.*

Ghost - As you wish. What are we doing today?

*Shannon swipes her Windows tablet and brings up the itinerary for today.*

Shannon - There is a roster meeting in about a half hour, followed by a couple of hours of fan access... and LJ Bennett wants to meet us for a late lunch at 1. The rest of the day is free until your house show match tonight. We would need to be back here by 8:30 to prepare. You're in the semi Main Event tag match. You and the Draculs versus Carl from Fresno and Banned from Everywhere.

Ghost - Lovely. I suppose we can leave our stuff in the car. Let us head inside.

*The Mann's exit their vehicle and walk toward the giant tent as the camera fades.*
