#1 Contender Tag Team Tournament Match
BUM Squad vs The James Gang



Vs



The Bum Squads music hits the PA system. PC Mcgee and Stabby Joe walk through the curtain dragging trash cans filled with plungers, mops, and what appears to be the bottom part of a shopping cart. They walk down the ramp.

Scott - I am never excited to see these two men but I am also never not excited. It's really weird.

Mike - I enjoy them.

The Bum Squad get to the bottom of the ramp then from put of nowhere James Gang jumps the ring side guard rail and begins attacking the Bums.

Mike - What the Hell they came out of nowhere.

Scott - James Gang is looking to prove a point here.

Jesse James starts laying right hands to the skull of Mcgee. Jesse grabs Mcgee and whips him into the ring stairs. Mark James grabs a trash can emptying everything out then brings it down onto the head of stabby Joe. Somehow Stabby Joe remains on his feet. Mark takes the trash can and places it over the head of Stabby Joe. Mark grabs a plunger and begins beating the crap out of the trash can that's on Stabby Joe. Joe falls to the ground but Mark doesn't let up, instead he climbs to the apron of the ring then jumps off hitting a splash to the trash can on stabby Joe.

Mike - Someone get out here and stop this. We are supposed to see a wrestling match not an all out murder.

Scott - To be fair Bum Squad brought the weapons out, James Gang just took advantage of what was presented to them.

Jesse picks up PC Mcgee off the mat but PC kicks Jesse in the balls. Jesse leans forward grabbing his balls PC immediately hits a DDT to ground. PC picks up and mop then charges at Mark James swinging and breaking it over Mark's head. PC pulls the trash can of Stabby Joe.

Scott - Stabby Joe must have felt very at home in that trash can.

Mike - Stop

Scott - Being homeless and all.

PC and Joe pick up Mark James then roll him into the ring. Stabby Joe then leans down going under the ring. He comes back holding a pair of handcuffs. The Bum Squad grabs the wrist of Jesse James putting the cuff on. They drag Jesse over to the ring post then hook the other handcuff to the ring post. PC Mcgee then slides into the ring. Stabby Joe climbs into the apron. Mark James slowly gets to his feet as the ref calls for the bell finally starting the match.

Mike - How can they start the match when one member of the James gang is handcuffed outside of the ring.

Scott - With our referee staff nothing surprises me anymore.

PC Mcgee fires across the ring hitting a huge clothesline.

Scott - BUM RUSH

PC runs tagging Stabby Joe into the match. Stabby Joe immediately climbs the top rope diving off hitting a monster flying headbutt.

Mike - CRACKHEAD. It's got to be over now.

Scott - Mark just took both finishers of the Bum Squad.

Stabby Joe makes the pin.

1..2..

Jesse is trying hard but can't get into the ring due to the handcuffs.

3

Bum squad wins.



Singles Match
Liam Cain vs Axel Van Osbourne


Mike Fisher: Here we go ladies and gentlemen the next match up is going to be a classic in my eyes as Liam Cian takes on AVO in a singles action match up with the winner moving up in the rankings.





Scott James: I know Liam is looking to bounce back after losing his TV Championship to Scotty Adams at Red Alert, and AVO is looking for a big win since his last one against Scotty Adams a couple weeks ago.







Mike Fisher: Well will see which one will get back on track tonight as Jenny Fletcher is ready to do the introductions.





The hard cam switches to the ring as a spotlight falls on Jenny Fletcher





Jenny Fletcher: Making his way to the ring from Houston TX, he weighs in at 181lbs I give you Axel Van Osbourne!











The lights flicker slowly on the stage during the intro of the song and as soon as the Boom Lay Boom Lay Boom begins pillars of fire shoot from either side of the stage as AVO makes his way out, follwed closely by Vincent Van Rose, raising his hands and lowering them as pyro shoots off from every direction. As the song continues AVO runs to the ring sliding under the ropes. He kneels in the center of the ring and raises a fist to the sky as pyro blasts from each corner as Boom Lay Boom Lay Boom echoes slowly fading away







Jenny Fletcher: Now his opponent from Hickory, North Carolina, weighing in at 225lbs, he is the former Television Champion I give you Liam Cain!!!





The Duel by Michael Ramir C plays over the speakers and Liam Cain comes walking down the ramp with a focused look, he runs up the steps and steps into the ring and waits for the match to start.





The bell rings and they lock up in the center of the ring and Liam gets the upper hand and slings AVO into the corner then meets him with a close line followed by a suplex out of the corner. AvO rolls out of the ring toto regroup, Liam tries to follow him but the referee blocks his path and begins his ring count as AVO walks around some more then stops at the barricade to interact with fans, Liam has enough of the games and shots himself out of the ring like a bow and arrow as he hits a suicide dive on AVO sending him crashing into the barricade as the fants chant holy shit.







Mike Fisher: Liam Cain off to a HOT START!





Scott James: AVO better get his head in the game or this one is going to be over quick.







Liam slaps AVO over the head repeatedly then slings him back into the ring, Liam climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and waits for AVO to get up and hits a missile dropkick and sends AVO falling down into the corner, Liam picks up momentum and kicks AVO in the head with a Big boot, then picks AVO up and hits a devasting DDT! Liam starts to kick him in the head before the referee comes over to break it up, Liam stalks AVO now as he measures him up, As soon as AVO stands up Liam hits one of signature maneuvers The Hickory Handshake as Liam crush AVO with a strong Left Hook To The Jaw. AVO falls lifeless to the mat and Liam covers him for the three count.





Mike Fisher: Liam bounces back after losing the Televesion Championship at Red Alert.





Scott James: Yeah Liam sure did own this match and shown hes not done by a long shot.





Jenny Fletcher: Here is your winner by pinfall LIAM CAIN!!!!

Axel Van Osbourne makes it to his feet before being blindsided by a lariat from Liam Cain. Axel goes down hard in a heap while Cain kicks him hard in the ribs over and over as the Managing Director of IIW, Bob Mitchell shouts over and over “Kick him harder!” at Cain.



Mike Fisher – Now this is just low!



Scott James – Not low, Fisher... This is how you send a message!



Fans boo as Cain continues to kick away at Van Osbourne moving to put a shin across his throat and choke out the downed man.



Mike Fisher – At some point enough has to be enough, he's a beaten man, just got jumped from behind, the point is made!



Scott Fisher – Maybe you should wake up and see the writing on the wall Fisher! This is how you make people pay attention!



Mike Fisher – We're looking! We're looking to get some help out here! Come on!



Axel Van Osbourne's long time friend Vincent Van Rose comes running down the aisle to help his friend, but Cain sees him coming a mile away, but more importantly so do the BUM Squad who cut off Van Rose and throw him hard into the side of the ring.



Scott James – So much for the cavalry!



Mike Fisher – This is an absolutely brutal assault and no one's going to do a damned thing with security in Bob Mitchell's pocket!



Scott James – You say brutal attack, I say clearing out the dead weight!



Liam Cain hops out of the ring and pulls out the noose, the same rope that was on Bob Mitchell's desk this past week and the same rope that was around the neck of Blade Alexander a month ago.



Mike Fisher – Damn it! How can you condone this He's going to hang another man!



Cain hits Van Osbourne a few more times before fitting the rope over his head and pulling it tight.



Scott James – If you have a problem with it maybe you should go down there and try to stop them!



Mike Fisher stands up and takes his headset off to the surprise and delight of the fans, but it quickly turns to disappointment when he sits back down and puts the headset back on.



Mike Fisher – Damn it! I need this job!



Mike Fisher's need for employment means nothing to Liam Cain, who tosses Axel Van Osbourne over the top rope and holds onto the rope wrapped around Osbourne's neck. The BUM Squad hold Vincent Van Rose and make him watch his best friend hang, his feet kicking wildly just inches off the floor, behind him Cain's feet braced on the bottom rope as he braces himself not letting Osbourne slip to the arena floor.



Mike Fisher – Finally!



Scott James – Aw! Spoil sport!



The crowd are mixed seeing Greg Peters and several other suited men walking down to the ring, shouting and pointing at Liam Cain and Bob Mitchell. The BUM Squad lets go of Vincent Van Rose as Cain finally drops Osbourne before the three perpetrators escape through the crowd. In the aisle Bob Mitchell does nothing to avoid Peters and his cronies getting in his face while the two shout obscenities at each other before the other men try to calm Peters and The Commander finally comes to coral his former manager to the back.


Mike Fisher: Welcome back to Monday Night Mayhem ladies and gentlemen, The New year has already been rolling and will continue with this stacked night…



Mike Fisher gets cut off by the sound of “Cut the Cord” - Shinedown.

blue and white lights begin to navigate the arena. Tyler Debonair steps out onto the ramp and surveys the crowd. As the tune continues to echo throughout the arena, Tyler walks down the aisle, acknowledging the audience but fully focused on the ring.

He jumps up onto the apron and front flips into the ring over the top rope, before leaning against the turnbuckle and waiting for the music to die down and house lights to return… He asks for a microphone, which is given to him as he then paces the ring.

Scott James : Looks like we will be hearing from The ZENsational Tyler Debonair again here.

Mike Fisher: Probably wants to talk about what went down at Red Alert. He did say he would address that situation earlier this evening, Scott.

Tyler taps the microphone.

Tyler: This thing on? Oh there we go. Now I thought about this when I was out here earlier and it crossed my mind again just now… I really wish I could come out here and celebrate my victory over Curtis but how I won is not how I get down and I’ve been going over what happened and it’s all just strange to me really but there is someone that has all the anws…



Tyler gets cut off to the sound of Faith" by Limp Bizkit.

The fans in the arena go wild to the sight of Curtis with a happy smile on his face. He walks down the ramp and shakes some fans hands and even poses with a baby. Tyler looks at Curtis curiously as he makes his way in the ring and requests a microphone.

Curtis: Hey Tyler how's life going?

Tyler gets ready to speak but Curtis cuts him off again.

Curtis: I'm assuming pretty well since you won our match and all but I have to tell you Tyler I didn't appreciate how things went down and I'm not someone that likes to throw accusations around but I feel like you know more about what's going on?

Tyler shakes his head and paces back and forth.

Tyler: Listen, Curtis, before you stepped out here I literally said I wasn’t happy with how things happened and that there’s someone who has the answers… I was just as surprised and dumbfounded as you when those three masked men showed up hoss! And you weren't the only one that got a beatdown at the hands of them either.

Tyler points to the big screen in the arena, and a replay from what happened at Red Alert begins to play.

Curtis picks Tyler up and swings him into the ropes and hits a spine buster in the middle of the ring. Curtis beats on his chest and climbs the top turnbuckle… The lights in the arena go off for a moment, and when they turn on, the referee is laid out, and three masked men are standing in the ring; one looks Curtis in the face before tossing him off the turnbuckle. The three masked men beat down Curtis, Tyler starts to awake, but they kick him back down and continue their assault on Curtis. Two of the masked man hold Curtis up as the third one measures him up and delivers a devastating Superkick to Curtis. Curtis falls lifeless to the mat, they pull Tyler on top of him and leave the ring as Shaun Hart comes running down the ramp with a referee shirt on.

Mike Fisher: What the hell is going on here?!

Scott James: Me believes Tyler and Fred just pulled a fast one on Curtis!

Shaun gets in position to make the count.

One….

Two…

Three

*Bell Rings*

Mike Fisher: Son of a Bitch! What the HELL! Shaun has some explaining to do.

Scott James: Wat does Shaun have to explain?

Mike Fisher: He just so happens to have a referee shirt on and comes down to make the count as soon as those three men leave. If it smells like a fish, it's a fish Scott.

Jenny Fletcher: here is your winner Tyler Debonair!

Shaun raises Tyler hand in the air, as Tyler looks at him in a confused look, as Curtis stays laid out.

The video stops and Tyler begins to speak again.

Tyler: You see that Curtis? You weren't the only one taking a beating, I had no idea what was going on.

Curtis: Well why that might be true Tyler, you were the only one that benefited from a said beat down, you were the one they put on top of me, it was planned by them for you to win, explain that sir?

Tyler: Look I don't know their motivation or reasons but as I was saying, there is someone I believe does. SHAUN HART GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!

The fans start chanting GET OUT HERE! Repeatedly until Shaun Hart slowly walks out on stage with a microphone in his hand, he takes a few steps and comes to a stop before bringing the microphone to his lips.

Shaun: Gentleman I see you have not listened to the most successful podcast in the world and streaming on all Platforms The Hollywood Reporter. Because if you did you would know I was just doing my job. Bob was busy with other things at Red Alert so I did what needed to be done when the referee was taken out. A count needed to be made despite the actions that lead to it.

The fans begin to boo Shaun's explanation.

Tyler: Yeah I've heard it just like everyone else, listened to it and come to the conclusion that you are full of shit Shaun.

The fans cheer in agreement, Curtis turns in Shaun's direction and lifts his microphone.

Curtis: What the fans and Tyler are trying to say Mr.Hart is that we believe you might be holding a little of the truth back and if you don't tell us that truth very soon, I'll have to roll up my sleeves and get unpleasant with you.

Tyler: Yeah tell us the truth or we're coming up there to kick your ASS!

The fans cheer, and Shaun hesitates to respond with a worried facial expression. He takes a minute for the fans to settle down before bringing the microphone back up.

Shaun: OK! Damn It, I'm trying to protect you guys from what's coming, especially you Curtis. You've made an enemy of someone that's not very forgiving and he's got big plans for you and IIW as a whole. What happened at Red Alert was not my doing, it was someone much more sinister sitting in the back pulling the strings, and what went down was just a first step of what is it come, I can't say too much or I'll end up feeling his wrath but just know THE NIGHTMARE IS COMING!!!

Shaun tosses the microphone and disappears behind the curtains, leaving Tyler and Curtis to think about what was just said as the camera fades out and goes to commercial break.


Russell Wayne vs Nick Hart
(With Curtis)



Mike Fisher: Welcome back to Monday Night Mayhem ladies and gentlemen, The New year has already been rolling and will continue with more action as Nick Hart and One half of the IIW Tag Team Champions and UK Champion Russell Wayne stand in the ring, waiting for the bell to sound.



Scott James:That's right and Waynes tag team partner and one half of the tag team Champions Curtis will be with us on commentary. Thank you for joining us, Curtis.



Curtis: Thank you guys I hope you gentlemen are having a marvelous day here in IIW as the fantastic roster here in IIW continues to bring us some wholesome wrestling, that's what I'm anticipating from my partner Wayne and Nick Hart. My partner is a decorated Champion with great pride and Nick is one of your talents trying to climb up the ladder so I expect a good one here tonight.



Scott James: Great Analysis Curtis but what happened at the beginning of the show? Do you have any idea what Shaun was talking about?



Curtis: Unfortunately I do not Scott, all I know is a warning was given to me and I'll just have to stay ready for anything.


Miller Fisher: Well we’ll just have to wait and see because the match is ready to begin.



*Bell Rings




Hart and Wayne walk out towards the center of the ring as the Manchester crowd is ready for this! Nick Hart shows no fear in decking Wayne in the jaw! Nick rushes Wayne but gets taken down with a quick arm drag. Nick Hart gets back up and this time Wayne rushes Nick and takes him down with a double leg takedown as he takes a mount position before hammering down with right hands! Wayne lifts Nick Hart up and delivers a quick suplex followed by a elbow drop.



Miller Fisher: The Double Champ is looking strong early out the gate.


Curtis: That's Mr.Wayne for you, always a skilled technician in the ring.




Russell Wayne reaches down and picks Nick Hart then swings him into the turnbuckle and delivers a closeline then follows it up with a DDT and then covers him quickly.


One….







Two..







Kick out.



Nick Hart pushes Wayne off of him and gets up to his feet, Wayne uses the ropes to get up and stands near the turnbuckle, Nick Hart comes charging at Wayne with a full head of steam but Wayne rolls out the way and Hart eats nothing but turnbuckle, he stumbles out of the corner and right into Last Resort(Delayed Brainbuster DDT Suplex)



Curtis: Well looks like this one is over guys.



Scott James: Yeah that's obvious Curtis, Nick's eyes just rolled to the back of his head.



Wayne covers Nick as the referee gets in position for the count.



One…





Two…




Three…



Jenny Fletcher: Here is your winner by pinfall Russell Wayne!!!!



The referee raises Russell's hand in the air while Nick Hart rolls out the ring to the floor to recover. Curtis takes his headset off and joins his tag team partner in the ring to celebrate. Curtis starts hyping the fans up for Wayne. They start cheering Team Friendship for a good little moment before they turn to boos when they see Shaun Hart come out on stage with a microphone in his hand.



Shaun Hart: Mr.Wayne if you would not like to be victimized I suggest you exit the ring right now and leave Curtis to his judgment day… Because HE’S HERE!




The lights in the arena flicker for a moment before shutting off completely.



Mike Fisher: What the hell! Not this stunt again.



Scott James: Mike give me your hand, I hate the dark. I need to feel safe.




The lights come back on and Shaun Hart is nowhere to be seen, but just like at Red Alert three masked men in all black stand in the ring surrounding Curtis and Russell Wayne. The fans cheer in anticipation of what's to come next. Wayne and Curtis go back to back as the three masked men circle them and then just like that the Mayhem starts with Wayne and Curtis making the first move as Curtis takes on #1 Masked men, Why Wayne has his hands full with Masked men #2and #3. Russell delivers hard shots to their face and stomach to force them off him. Curtis meanwhile is trading blows and starts getting the upper hand on his man. Curtis puts #1 masked men in a headlock but he slips out and his mask comes off during the struggle and it's….




Mike Fisher: OH MY GOD THATS DARIUS ENLIL!!!


He laughs in Curtis face then kicks him in the balls, and Curtis drops to the mat, Wayne tries to rush over and Help but the other two men tackle him to the ground and hammer him with punches and kicks until he lays still. They walk towards Darius and take off their mask as well and the crown goes nuts as they recognize one of the men as…



Scott James: CHRIS NITRO IS BACK AS WELL!!! but he looks different wearing that black and white face paint and beside him is a masked luchador that I'm not familiar with but he must be bad news if he's rolling with them.




The lights go off again in the arena for a moment and when they come back on Ryan Hawkins stands in the center of the ring with a smirk on his face.



Mike Fisher: MY GOD IT'S THE DREAM KILLER RYAN HAWKINS!!!



Scott James: Could this be what Shan was hinting at The Nightmare is back and we can only speculate that THE PURGE IS BACK!



Ryan Hawkins stares at the fallen Wayne for a moment but then turns his attention to Curtis. He motions for a microphone and kneels beside Curtis.



Ryan Hawkins: You thought I forgot about you and all you took from me Curtis, I hate everything you stand for. This persona you put on as a happy guy with no fear in the world is bull shit. I know you can dream, and in the coming weeks I'm going to show you that you can have NIGHTMARES!!! THE PURGE IS BACK AND THE CLEANSING WILL BEGIN



Ryan motions for Nitro and the Luchador known as Los El Maldito to pick Curtis up. Darius keeps Russell Wayne down, while Ryan fires hard shots off to Curtis before hitting his devastating finisher TDK(RKO) and Curtis’ head bounces off the mat. Ryan makes them.pick him up again and he gets ready to measure him for another one….




But the crowd erupts in cheer as someone wearing a black hoodie jumps the barricade and slides inside the ring and starts going after Darius but Los El Maldito and Nitro try to help him out but the man pulls out a baseball bat he had in his hoodie and starts swinging and clears the ring of The Purge as they retreat up the ramp. Ryan Hawkins looks furious as he sees who it is that came to Team Friendship's rescue.



Bam Miller smiles from inside the ring as he shoots a bird towards The Purge.



Mike Fisher: My God what a night it has been here tonight on Mayhem. The Purge is Back and it looks like Bam Miller is back from injury as well. So much to take it from this one moment.



Scott James: But why would Bam help team Friendship? The last time we saw those three in a ring they were at each other's throats.




Bam turns around to Curtis and Russell Wayne who have started to get up and look at Bam in surprise. They all look at each other in confusion as we cut to commercial break.




Jonny FnC and Noah vs Tyler and Fred Debonair





Noah walks to the middle of the ring and waits for Tyler to follow. Tyler doesn't budge but points to Jonny C basically telling Noah that he wants him to tag Jonny C. Noah shakes his head no then walks over to Tyler and begins to talk inches away from his face. Tyler continues to stand there motionless and again points to Jonny C. Jonny C on the other side of the ring smiles and stares at Tyler and shakes his head. From across the ring Jonny C then yells 'Ill be there soon Tyler'. Noah then turns for a second then back to Tyler with a huge slap that brings Tyler to one knee. Noah then looks at Jonny C with a huge smile on his face and once he turns back around Tyler then shoots on Noah and begins punching his in the face over and over again.

Noah is starting to stand up and the trainers are trying to keep his down, they flash their flash light in his eyes and they can tell by the way that his eyes and his pupils are that he had just received a bad concussion. The trainers pull his out of the ring and he is fighting them. The trainers then tell the referee that he is unable to finish the match. This is restated to the crowd that Noah is unable to finish the match and for the first time he hears this and tries to continue the match yet they are not allowing his to. Noah is now pulled to the back and now it is a handicap match between Fred Debonair & Tyler Debonair vs. Jonny C.

Melanie: Your winners… Tyler and Fred Debonair!





Monday Night Mayhem cut to the backstage area where John Cavanagh stood with his IIW International Championship over his shoulder. John’s Carhartt jacket, black True Religions jeans and Jordan 1s meant one thing—he and the rest of The Celtic Club were calling it an early night.

John Cavanagh - I’ve been trying to be on my best behavior. I was doing my best to leave this mutt in the rearview. I really thought that was best for everyone involved. Let you move on to face less challenging opponents, I move on to bigger and better things, the shitheads in the audience get some new matches to look forward to…what’s not to look forward to?! Well, it seems the man who keeps clutching my coat tails to get a little rub of fame just can’t let Johnnie Boy go. See, Fred, you can call me a coward and think that match at Red Alert was too close for comfort. You can paint whatever narrative it is that makes you feel special but in the end…you’re just a spoke in a wheel and I’m the bastard in control of the bike that your wheel is attached to. You have your thoughts—I have mine. You’ve grown soft, you’ve grown sloppy, you never were on my level…and right now, you ain’t even in the same god damned ballpark. And, now you’ll see why…

The camera pans out as John smiles and the lovely Shannon Riley exits the door that was to John’s left. Shannon looks down to her hands where a crimson liquid can be found.

John Cavanagh - Everything good, baby?

Shannon’s face is overcome with a devilish grin.

Shannon Riley - Of course Johnnie, that was nothing.

John Cavanagh - Beautiful and dangerous…the perfect combination.

John and Shannon walk off as the camera pans back to show Casie Debonair laying face down on the floor with blood running from her forehead. The camera cuts back to John who is holding an “exit” door open. Shannon exits, a black Chevy Impala waits outside of the door. Trigger pops out of the passenger seat and opens the back door for Shannon and John. Shannon enters, John places one leg in and turns to the camera.

John Cavanagh - Maybe that will wake this sorry sack of shit up.

John sits in the car and Trigger closes the door behind him before jumping into the front passenger seat. The car, driven by Andy Donahue, peels out as Mayhem cuts to a paid YouTube advertisement.






Michael Morrison is in the ring along side Netflix COO Greg Peters and Managing Director of IIW Bob Mitchell. Bob looks nervous as Greg Peters smugly grabs Morrison by the wrist directing the microphone towards himself.



Peters: Alright Bob we've given you the night. You've had all evening to come up with some over-the-top knock-my-socks-off plan to save IIW from the state you've put it in and save me from firing you from your roll as Managing Director of IIW right here and now.



The crowd cheer at the idea of being rid of Bob Mitchell once and for all.



Bob: You know Greg...



Peters: That's Mister Peters.



Bob: Yeah Mister Whatever, I said I'd come up with a plan to save the show and save IIW. I know I said I'd rack my brain and come up with something to save us all from our troubles, but honestly... I didn't do any of that.



Peters: It's your JOB, Bob. You know what was on the line here.



Bob: Yeah well thing thing about that, Greg, is that you can shove your threats and ultimatums up your ass.



The attitude of the crowd turns very negative very quickly, not just at the notion of remaining under the creative thumb of Bob Mitchell, but also having noticed his BUM Squad making their way down the aisle to circle around the ring.



Peters: Now just what's the meaning of this Mitchell? You got my letter, you knew what would happen. You had obligations to uphold.



Bob: Yeah, yeah, obligations. Not to you though. See instead of running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to jump through your hoops, I looked over my own contract instead. Some interesting stuff in there Greg if you ever bothered to take a look. See, some months ago I came into a 10 percent ownership share of IIW thanks to a little legal entanglement your old business partner got into. Thanks to that I've had a certain amount of control within IIW. Now since then there was that whole mess involving a certain match where my team beat Osh's team and I became Managing Director here in IIW. At first I thought that would give me some sort of control and input over what goes on here, but even a blind puppy fresh from it's bitch mother could tell you that's not the case. Instead I was made into a scapegoat for the embezzelment scheme from the former Netflix liason Connor Briggs whom you personally named to the position.



I can't help but think Greg, maybe this was your plan all along. Sink your hooks into IIW, bleed it dry and pin it on a patsy. But a couple of wrenches got into that cunning plan. The first was our former World Champion inadvertently exposing the fraud your man was comminting on this company to the deposed owner Osh Vaughan. That got rid of your number one fall guy, so what did you do? You hand picked me to take the blame for Netflix bouncing checks to select newer talents so they'd run for the hills. You would have gotten rid of them all if I hadn't been able to bring someone in with access to enough cash flow to pay the others not to leave.



And doesn't that just frost the cake that I'm the second wrench in your plan. See you didn't know who or what you're dealing with so you thought you could keep lining up people to pin the blame on. If I didn't work out you put Shaun Hart in charge of the booking and instead of letting him put our top guys on TV week in and week out you demanded he focus on “fresher” talent and kept Jonny C at home on his couch for months and the former World Champion Jake E Dangerously doing the talk show circut. Well congrats, you bored one of them into retirement, but surprising even to me the nitwit saw through your shit and forced his way back onto the show.



Peters: Now you just listen here you...



Bob Mitchell grabs the microphone and cuts him off.



Bob: No YOU listen you sanctamonious piece of shit, for months I've had to deal with you and your people's shit like you're the only game in town and what did it do for me? More grey hair than I care to have and a smaller bank account than when I started, but I'm not going down with this ship! That idiot Osh would rather see the world burn than someone else succeed in his place so the moment he could he tried to sink IIW by blowing a hole wide open in it sending your man Connor to jail! And now you're going to try to blame me for fucking up a company I never had control over. I'm sick of trying to keep everyone's hands out of my cookie jar, so I've sold it. But I didn't just find some mysterious benefactor to grease the wheels and keep this thing moving, that wouldn't be good enough.



I dug deeper and when I sold my 10% share it was to someone with pockets as deep as Osh who knew how to compete with him on his level! Someone very familiar with him and the way he works. Someone who could more than handle dealing with children the likes of even you! Jen...



He looks to Jenny Fletcher sitting ringside.



Bob: The time has come. Do what you do best and announce to the whole world Osh's new partner in IIW, the person Netflix will have to deal with going forward, and my new boss...



Jenny Fletcher: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the NEWWWWWW Minority Owner of IIW.... MMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!



Both Jenny Fletcher and Bob Mitchell laugh as she starts to make her way into the ring. The two smile at each other and shake hands while Greg Peters, Neflix COO looks on in disbelief and the IIW crowd errupt.



Jenny: Don't look so shocked Greg, after all who could possibly dish out the kind of money Osh Vaughan offered those boys in the back if you weren't going to pay them other than Osh himself? Well someone with access to his bank account of course! You didn't think I was so down on my luck that I just would come crawling back here as a lowly ring announcer if there wasn't something bigger in play did you? Oh you did? You dullard, you didn't do your reseach did you?



Greg Peters goes to answer but once again he's cut off.



Jenny: No, no honey... It's fine, don't bother. We all know you didn't do your reseach or you'd know I used to RULE the wrestling world! Well guess what baby? I'm back! WELCOME TO THE FLETCH WORLD ORDER!!!!



On cue the BUM Squad remove their dirty, tattered, stained shirts to reveal fresh clean white shirts with fWo emblazoned across their chests in black and silver. She and Bob laugh again along with Stabby Joe and Pissy McGhee at ringside, but Jenny Fletcher cuts her laughter short.





Jenny: But that's not all! Not only is the fWo back, but it needs it's franchise. It needs that pillar to build it's future on, and Bob, thank you for that. Thank you for the man that the fWo and the IIW will build their future on...



The lights in the IIW arena go out. There's an excited buzz in the building but that slowly dissapates into a hushed silence of anticipation as 'A Solitary Reign' by Amren begins to fill the dark building. A spotlight flares up from the entryway sillohetting a lone figure standing on the entrance ramp. Though shadowed by the light behind him he is dressed in white. A white 3 piece suit, custom white dress shoes, white gloves. Covering his face is a skull mask. A spotlight comes up to light him as he slowly makes his way down to the ring. His white mask is a haunting and ghoulish visage of a skull, slightly deformed, black etched into it's deep creavaces and making it's eyes black holes staring out under two long horns jutting out of the forehead of the mask, twisted ivory curled back on themselves over the figures head.



Slowly he makes his way up the stairs into the ring where he joins the others in the center. The others look on this figure in disbelief other than Jenny Fletcher whose broad grin reveals her pride at whomever she has chosen to lead her new fWo.



The figure steps infront of Bob Mitchell who stares at it in wonder and disbelief. Bob swallows hard as the figure slowly starts to remove the mask and reveal the person wearing...



Mike Fisher: Oh My God!



Scott James: I thought he was DEAD!



Mike Fisher: It's BLADE ALEXANDER!!!!
