Opening
We start slaughter with a nice shot of Shadows office. Enter unknown young man. Tall, slim and good looking. He looks at his watch, and then clicks his fingers. Entourage follows. Three men looking very smart stand behind him. He smiles and signals for one of them to knock on the door. They do as they are told.
Shadow: Come in..
They enter. Shadow stands up and stares at the unknown group.
Shadow: Who are you?
Unknown: I am the answer to your prayers, Shadow.
Shadow: And you are..?
Unknown: Owen Windsor. Billionaire, wrestler, the injection of class this place needs.
Shadow laughs.
Shadow: Guys like you are a dime a dozen..
Windsor smiles arrogantly, he waves his hands at the men who place their briefcase on Shadows desk. They open on impact and inside is a lot of cash.
Owen Windsor: a dime a dozen? Try five million dollars, mate.
Shadow seems a little taken back. Five million dollars? Wow. Shadow pauses for a moment as Windsor looks on eagerly. Shadow leans forward.
Shadow: Get that out of my face. SFT is a place for the elite. You cant just flash the cash and expect to get places. Get out of my office. Take your business elsewhere.
Windsor looks shocked.
Owen Windsor: Ha, maybe I will. RWA have already accepted me once, I'm sure they'll want me back..
Windsor and his associates exit as we go to ringside for some action!
Match Number One
SmurfMaster
vs.
The Accountant
Shinji is ready in the ring, when Sylvia Sterling walks up the steps and into the ring. She has a mic in her hand and looks quite solemn.
Sylvia: Sadly, both Smurfmaster and the Accountant have decided to fuck things up for you dear, dear fans tonight, so you won't be seeing either of them tonight.
The fans boo.
Sylvia: I know, I know, but don't worry! We still have two great shows prepared and ready for you.
RW: Shame, I could have really done with seeing Smurfmaster kick Accountant's ass.
JC: Dude, The Accountant would whoop the Smurfmaster.
Winner: No Contest
We see chimpo walking down the hall. Out of no where, from behind a door, out steps Allisa O' Toole with a baseball bat. She taps the chinp on the shoulder, and when Chimpo turns around she cracks the hairy chimp in the face with the bat. As she's walking away, she say "Thats for the whipped cream, bitch." ::Fade to comercial::
Match Number Two
Mike Zybala and Connor MacDaddy
vs.
Knife and Goldeneye
'Slammin' by Buckcherry plays. Goldeneye walks out to the ring. When he holds up his hands on the walkway, pyro explodes. Goldeneye then posses for the fans in the ring.
The arena goes dark. There is a moment of silence before "End of Everything" by Steromud hits. On the first sets of guitar rifs, red stobe light flicker. When the music starts full red spotlight pan through the arena and phantom steps on the stage. As the words "THIS WILL BE THE END OF EVERYTHING..." are yelled Phantom snaps his arms straight out to his sides and the stage is engulfed with fire. As the chorus plays he walks slowly to the ring. He hops up onto the apron rolls his eyes back and raises his arms as the singer belts out "PHANTOM!"
"Intergalatic Planitary" by Beastie Boys plays and Mike Zybala runs through the crowd. When he reaches the front row, he turns around and begins moshing with a group of teenage guys! He leaps over the barricade and then slides in under the bottom rope, waiting for the world champ. But his wait isn't pleasant. Goldeneye and Phantom take him down and begin double teaming the XCW member. Samantha Summers breaks it up and they return to their respective corners.
"Got you by the Balls" by AC/DC blares over the PA system as large red X pyros fires off. A few seconds into the song Connor steps out onto the stage and makes an X with his arm in the air. He starts to walk down the ramp. Mid ramp he slows down and points to a few fans and gives them a big thumbs up. He slides in the ring and goes on the turnbuckle and makes X crosses in the air to the crowd. He's carrying all three of his titles tonight, but only the IC title is at threat.
When all four men are in the ring, Zybala and Phantom step into the ring and look around. The bell rings and they circle the ring. They finally tie up and Zybala takes Phantom over with an arm drag, following it with an armbar, with a punch to the face. Zybala breaks it up himself, and immediately hits Phantom with an elbow drop across the face. Phantom is pinned quickly, but kicks out after a one count. Zybala stands back and lets Phantom up. They tie up again, and Phantom gets the upper hand, whipping Mike into the ropes. Phantom goes for a clothesline, but Zybala ducks, stops, turns around and dropkicks the back of his knee! Phantom falls down onto all fours. Zybala tries to lock in "Can you say 'Oww'?" But Phantom struggles free and rolls across the ring to tag in Goldeneye. Zybala takes him down with a drop toe hold onto the second rope and tags in MacDaddy.
JC: Will the World Champ be able to win it for XCW?
RW: I dunno. Don't ask me that again. It's annoying. No one knows. Shut up. Shut up and die.
JC: OOOOOOH! Bitchy.
MacDaddy grabs the fallen Geye, and tries to throw him straight into a German Suplex, but he fights free, low blows Connor and takes him down with a lariat. He goes for a pin, but of course, he breaks free early on. Connor gets up and barely ducks another lariat off Geye. Goldeneye rebounds off the ropes, and pushes Connor the distance of the ring making him fall to the mats below! Geye climbs out through the ropes and stands on the apron. As Connor gets up, Geye hits him with a double ax handle! Connor falls again, and Geye starts searching under the ring to continue his assault. But Zybala counters gets involved and hits a cross body drop to the back of Geye from the top rope! Both merely miss landing on Connor. All three men are down though for the time being, when Phantom walks over towards then on the apron, and climbs his own turnbuckle! The fans get behind him, and start clapping in unison. It is Zybala who starts moving first, so Phantom prepares to hit him with whatever psychotic uncharacteristic high risk move he has in mind! Zybala gets to his feet with his back to Phantom, so it appears that he is unaware of the member of the Lotus Pod, but he turns around as Phantom jumps off. He sees Phantom falling towards him, and dodges, pushing him down and away at the same time. He is still hit with a foot to the face, but Phantom is the one who lands hard and awkwardly on the floor.
RW: WHAT A MOVE!
JC: WHAT A REVERSAL!
Sterling (from her corner): Both got their asses whooped though.
Connor and Geye are both up by this time now, and slide into the ring. Geye has something hidden in his hand. Connor doesn't let him use it though, as he hits three suplexes all in a row on Geye. After the third suplex, he drops Geye hard with a DDT! The fans begin cheering and a chant of "Connor!" develops.
At the top of the ramp, fellow XCW member, Allisa O'Toole runs down to the ring. She waves at Connor who sees her, but she walks around the ring to Phantom and Zybala. She lifts Phantom up to his feet, and whips him into the barrier. Then she grabs Zybala, pokes him in they eye, and rams his head into the steel post! The fans look shocked. She throws Zybala onto the apron and walks over to Phantom. She slaps him round the face to wake him up, then guides him over to his corner. Connor looks confused, as does everyone else, but Allisa just winks at Connor and shouts something at him. No one but him seems to understand what he's saying.
Distracted, Connor is smacked with a huge big boot to the side of the face from Geye. He falls onto his front, and Geye reveals what he has in his hand. Phantom suddenly pushes him from over the ropes and shakes his head.
JC: Phantom doesn't want to be Disqualified! He tugs a piece of rope from his hands and throws it away.
RW: Yeah... a piece of rope. Woohoo, that is really DANGEROUS!
JC: Never been strangled by a piece of rope I take it?
RW: Never been stupid enough to allow myself to get strangled by a piece of fugging rope.
Geye looks at Phantom and smacks him across the face. Phantom manages to hold on, but Geye spins him around, and hits a variation of the Respecter on Phantom! Then Geye looks at Zybala who still looks out cold. He drags him into the center of the ring. Before he can cover him though, Zybala lifts his fist up into Geye's groin, then ties Geye up in a school boy.
ONE!
TWO!
KICK OUT!
Zybala was so close to winning! Geye gets up to his feet, hurt, but pissed off. Zybala also gets up, standing tall.
JC: Zybala was playing possum! Shit, I think Zybala is going to win this!
Mike ducks a shot from Geye, and hits the Ouch Maker! Geye lands on top of MacDaddy, hurting both men. Geye gets tangled up in the ropes, but Samantha doesn't see! She starts counting. After the first count, Zybala realises what is going on, and tries to break up the cover, but Allisa has grabbed his foot, so when he runs forward, he lands on his face!
TWO!
Connor tries to kick out, but Geye has pinned Connor's shoulder to the mat, and because he is trapped up in the ropes, Connor can't seem to shake him free!
THREE!
RW: Fuck no! Geye is the new IC champ!
Only then Samantha realises what has happened, but it's too late. She looks at Sterling, who shakes her head with a sly grin. Allisa smirks, and walks to the back to get ready for her own match.
Winner: Goldeneye (With Phantom)
A note for Lane
Sean Lane is getting ready, stretching in his changing room when there is a knock on his door.
Lane answers it, and sees a scrawny looking man looking at him, he tells Lane that he was meant to give him a note that was given to him. Lane asks who it's from, but the man just shrugs.
Lane flips the piece of paper open, and on it, are the words "Your Next!"
Match Number Three
Allisa O'Toole
vs.
Sean Lane
"This is the New Shit" by Marilyn Manson plays out through the arena and the fans get up to their feet and cheer. The Billionaire walks out and dollars fall from the ceiling. The crowd clambers over each other to get it. She claps her hands and lifts her cane up into the air. She swings around and then strides down the ramp. She rolls in under the bottom rope and is assisted to her feet by the ring announcer. While she waits, she kicks her shoes out to the outside and hands her jacket to the announcer.
The arena goes black and "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" starts over the PA. A blue spotlight shines throughout the crowd, up and down the stands until the song picks up. The spotlight focuses on the entrance ramp and out comes Sean Lane. Lane stops at the edge of the ramp to look over the fans and two big shots of pyro shoot up. Lane then makes his way to the ring, walking slowly...looking over everything.
Lane gets into the ring, and Allisa just stands there laughing at him. She drops to the mat, and heckles him, screaming at him to cover her. He shakes his head and referee Scott Winters drags her onto her feet. The bell rings again, and the match is allowed to start. Allisa immediately goes for a low blow, but Lane dodges, so she only connect with his though. Allisa growls, and runs backwards and hits the ropes. On the rebound, she leaps an amazingly high distance, but Lane, with a show of strength, both ducks the shining black, and brings her back to the ground with a powerbomb! He goes for a cover.
ONE! TWO! She kicks out somehow! She also reverses the move into her own pin!
ONE! Kickout. Lane gets up to his feet and hits a snap suplex on Allisa. She gets right back up, only to be hit with another snap suplex. Again she gets right up again, and Lane hits a DDT on her. She stays down this time, but brings Lane to the mat before he continue any form of assault. She swings round and starts slapping Lane's ears. Then she tries to lock in the Cheque Choke. He struggles free though and grabs the ropes. a pissed off Allisa swing a fist, and it connects with Lane's jaw. It has no affect on him though, and he hits a stiff clothesline just to show her who is in charge. Sterling stands up, and Winters has to push him back to his corner again. Lane starts swearing and complaining in confusion. Just then, Connor MacDaddy makes his way to the ring, sprinting down the ramp, holding his head. Lane starts getting ready to run out to meet him, but he stops at ringside and he's still being held back.
JC: Who do you think sent Lane that note?
RW: No idea.
JC: Think it was MacDaddy?
RW: Naw... He's too stupid.
Lane is finally allowed to go back to the match, and finishes Allisa off with a tiger driver right in the middle of the ring but he doesn't go for a cover while MacDaddy is on the outside. He asks Winters if he'd get him to fuck off to the back again. Meanwhile, while no one is watching, Allisa slowly moves towards the ropes. Connor then sprints round the ring and pulls Allisa out. She suddenly seems in the right frame of mind to argue as soon as she sees Connor. They start shouting at each other. Winters has no other choice but to start counting her out. Lane stands back.
THREE!
Connor stands over Allisa, shouting at her. She sits up and begins screaming back at him.
SIX!
Allisa gets to her feet, and slaps Connor. Connor hits her back, and turns her head to the ring to let her see the ref counting her out.
NINE!
Allisa struggles to get back in the ring, but Connor seems to 'accidently' let go of her hair as she runs forward to get back to the ring. She falls back to the ground, defeated as the referee shouts out...
TEN!
The bell rings for a final time.
Sterling: Sadly, your winner tonight is Sean Lane. Sterling shrinks back into her seat and sulks. Allisa gets to her feet and pushes Connor hard then runs off to the back. Even Lane, who had won, doesn't seem too satisfied with his win.
Winner: Sean Lane
Closing
We cut backstage once again, this time outside of Big T's office. Outside stands Owen Windsor and his friends with the five million dollars. He clears his throat before knocking on the door.
Big T: Holla!
Windsor enters.
Big T stands up, and greets Windsor, having seen him earlier. Windsor smiles and extends his hand for Big T to shake; instead it is slapped as in "high-five" style. Windsor shakes his head in confusion.
Owen Windsor: You're a smart man, this is why I have come to you tonight. Shadow has turned down five million dollars. Surely you, a man of class, a man of style, will not be so foolish..
Big T: Show me the money, man.
Windsor nods, and the money is placed on the table.
Owen Windsor: This is yours if you give me an SFT contract.
Big T: Can I touch it?
Owen Windsor: By all means..
Big T picks up a big pile of money and takes a sniff of it.
Owen Windsor: Smells good doesn't it? So.. what do you say?
Big T smiles.
Big T: I say welcome aboard, homie!
Owen and Big T laugh as suddenly the door bursts open. Shadow. He looks furious.
Shadow: What the hell are you doing?!
Big T: Recruiting.
Owen Windsor: You're too late, Shadow. The deal has been made. Say hello to your new employee..
Shadow looks at Windsor as if he was a pile of dog doo-doo.
Shadow: I don't see any contracts. Nothing is official. But I'm not all bad. I'm going to give you a chance. Next week, you shall be given a match. If you win, then I will allow you on the SFT payroll. If you don't.. then you leave SFT and never come back.
Owen Windsor: Deal. Pleasure doing business with you both.
Fade Out!
