 Craig:  What do you want me to say?  Not even I thought this whole thing would turn out the way it did.  I would apologize, but let’s be honest, considering that what happened was pretty much exactly what I was trying to do, I really did a rather fantastic job, didn’t I?  I wanted to disrupt the unity and friendship of your little PC faction and that’s exactly what happened.  I’ll tell you the truth though, even when it got as bad as it did, I never in a million years thought that it would last this long.  This is insane.  Besides, while that first match I booked may have been what triggered all of this, I can’t exactly be held responsible for how this guy’s son reacted to it all, now can I?

Billy:  I will give you that, that you most certainly cannot.  That’s the whole reason I’m not really going to hold it against you and that I haven’t already slapped the taste out of your mouth.

Craig:  Aw, what a sweetheart.

Billy:  I try.  Truth be told, maybe I should thank you for helping me to see Hot Stuff’s true colors.

Craig:  You’re kidding me.  Even I’m not so sure about that one.

The entire group lets out a laugh at that comment.

Billy:  Yeah ok, maybe not.  Well listen, I’ve got to go run.  Maybe I’ll catch up with you guys later, enjoy the match, alright?

The group all say their goodbyes to one another as Billy and Kristen go to check in as the scene fades.



The scene opens up inside the hall of the Gold Coast which has now been setup for Blaze of Glory II, including SCW’s set, stage and ring.  As the fans are all starting to pile into their seats, about ready for the show to get started, suddenly the PA system comes alive as “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard, drawing a massive amount of cheers from throughout the crowd in attendance.  A moment later, dressed in a suit and wearing his sunglasses, comes out through the curtain is “Beautiful” Billy James.  Billy makes his way down the ramp before then hopping up onto the apron and over the top rope into the ring.  Billy then walks over towards the other side of the ring and has one of the crew members toss a microphone into him.  Billy then pulls off his sunglasses and shoves them into his suit jacket pocket as he waits for the music to stop and crowd to quiet down.  As it finally settles down, Billy pulls the microphone up to his mouth.

Billy:  Hello Gold Coast Casino!

The crowd bursts into cheers as a big smile comes across Billy’s face.

Billy:  Ah, the cheap pop.  I always wanted to do that.

The crowd cheers even more as Billy cannot help but laugh at the reaction.

Billy:  Here we are, the moments are now just ticking away.  In a few more hours it will be, for the very last time, Mark and I back in this ring together.  The ropes will be gone, the barbed wire will be up, and we will finally put this all to an end.  Hot Stuff Mark Ward verses “Beautiful” Billy James Part Five.  The score is 2 to 2, or 8 to 8 depending on how you want to tally it all up, but the point is, we’ve both had more than enough opportunities to show that each of us is capable of taking the other one down, so this is the last chance, this is the rubber match.  When this night is over, you will all truly know who the better man is.

More cheers come from the crowd as Billy simply smiles and nods along.

Billy:  Now let’s take a look back at some of the things Mark was running his mouth about last week.  I got to hear him carry on, talking about my so-called “old ball and chain”.  As if I should somehow feel embarrassed for the fact that there’s actually someone on this planet who wanted to marry me.  Sorry Mark, but unlike you, I’m not so inadequate that he keeps needing to run around to new women all the time, as nobody can or wants to be bothered putting up with you for any extended period of time.  And to be clear, yes, I am saying inadequate both as a boyfriend and apparently as a lover.  Word travels fast and a lot of your exes have had plenty of not-so-great things to say about you to anyone who would listen.  I, on the other hand, have nothing to be ashamed of.  Let’s not forget, back in the GCW, it was me and that very same lady of mine who were notorious for doing some things that were way too x-rated to be aired on TV, all throughout every backstage area in each of GCW's countless venues.

That comment gets a round of hoots and hollers from the crowd, drawing a laugh from Billy as he continues on.

Billy:  You see Mark, unlike you, I don't need a group of people around to help satisfy my lady, I'm more than capable of handling that task all by myself.  You can ramble on all you want about how great you think you are, and how much better you supposedly believe yourself to be than me, but you and I both know that I have beaten you more times than anyone else in this entire industry, at least once your career actually started to mean something.  You can try to pretend like it means nothing but if that were really the case, you wouldn’t be so desperate to try to convince everyone how much better than should think you are than me.  The problem is, until you can actual prove anything to back up those words, it won’t mean anything to anyone.  Let’s not forget, back when I first met you, you were some second-rate gimmicky chump who was wrestling in mud matches.  You seriously want to talk about me supposedly always being in your shadow?  What a joke, I was already a twice-undefeated World Champion before you became anything to anyone in this industry.  

The crowd cheers again as Billy continues on.

Billy:  You were handed your career on a silver platter thanks to your old man and you still weren't able to do anything with it in the beginning.  You may not be able to admit it Hot Stuff, but I helped make you into the star that you became.  Back in those days, the Perfection Connection was mine and Jordan's baby, and you being allowed in was what finally legitimized your career.  The fact is that I had been long-since established as one of the best in the company, in the entire wrestling world, but every time you and I stepped into that ring together, it only pushed you to become better and better.  Don’t get me wrong, I know better than to think you can come to grips with that fact.  I would never expect you to be able to admit it, but while you can hate me all you want, you would not be what you finally became if not for me.  The truth is, it was our feuds that pushed you to that superstar status which you finally reached and, considering that you and Jordan were never going to end up going at it, who else do you think you could have stepped into the ring with that would have had that kind of impact on your career?

Billy turns toward the camera and looks deep into it.

Billy:  The answer is, there is absolutely no one else.  The truth of the matter is, I never needed you Mark, the only one who believes that is your own demented mind.  Let me remind you, that you're looking at the man, back before you were anything to anyone, who was already the very last World Heavyweight Champion and the very first World Heavyweight Champion of two of the biggest wrestling companies that have ever been seen, never losing either one of those titles either.  I was already seen as the top star in any wrestling company out there and in those days, a match against you would have been well beneath me.  While, in the end, our feud may have turned out to be one of the biggest, most well-remembered things in all of wrestling during our days in GCW, it was never anything I needed to make a name for myself.  The difference is, you cannot say the same.  Long before you mattered to anyone, I was stepping into that ring and defeating the likes of Damien Diamond, James Paige, Miami Hurricane;   all while little Hot Stuff and his SCW Co-Owner Christian were busy rolling around in the mud together.

The crowd burst into cheers as Billy smiles widely.

Billy:  Hate to break it to you Marky, but you have a whooooole lot of people you need to thank for you being what you became.  You never would have made it into ASFW nor GCW, if not for your father and who he already was to this industry.  You never would have gotten the training if you did if not for that connection either.  And even you know that you never would have developed the wrestling ability that you did if not for being trained as someone as amazingly talented as our good friend Jordan.  Nobody ever would have taken you at all serious as a wrestling talent if not for you finally showing people you could actually keep your clothes on and stay inside of a ring against a real competitor, back when you faced off against the great Austin Parker.  Yet, in the end, none of that was quite enough was it?  You had your success, even made your way up to the level of World Champion, but never quite figured out how to take that one extra step.  In the end, you were seen as just another member of the stable that Jordan and I created, made famous, and led.  Then, we stepped in that ring together, I beat you, and you threw your little hissy fit on the level of a 4-year-old girl.

The crowd laughs as Billy continues on.

Billy:  It wasn't until that infamous 90-minute iron man match that people finally saw you for what you had the ability to be.  Then what did you do?  You turned around and retired, because you didn't have what it took to keep going after that match.  You may have won it, but it took absolutely everything you had in you to be able to pull that off, and you couldn’t hang in the ring anymore.  The only reason anyone still cared about old Hot Stuff after all of your time off is because you came back being remembered for one thing and one thing alone, that 90-minute match.  That’s what you were famous for, that’s what made you the star that you became.  Do you really think I need to thank someone for forcing us into a match together?  Craig isn’t the one that turned you into the back-stabbing, sorry, pathetic sore-loser that you became after that match.  If we want to talk about who owes thanks to backstage talents, then maybe we should point to the fact that you would literally be absolutely nothing if not for the fact that you had your daddy pulling strings for you the whole time.  You were born with the silver spoon in your mouth and you still couldn't get the job done, and take advantage of everything that was handed to you, until I finally pushed you to your limits, and got you the kind of worldwide recognition that old Mark Senior tried so hard to give to you for all of those years and that you simply couldn't hang onto.

Billy starts to pace back and forth around the ring as he continues on.

Billy:  You can ramble on endlessly about how I am allegedly so obsessed with you and that's why I’m back in wrestling, that it’s why I’m here in SCW, but that's not reality.  When I first started to show up, my beef was with then-champion Nick Jones, plain and simple.  You are the one who, the second you saw me, couldn't get over your obsession with me.  The reality of the situation is that you still can't get over the fact that, the first time you and I stepped in the ring together, I came out as the victor.  Over 10 years later, it still eats away at you, doesn’t it?  I was busy dealing with my issues with Nick and it was you, Mark, being the coward that you are, that took it upon yourself to get involved in a fight between Nick and myself.  You are the one who came out of nowhere, while security was busy pulling us apart, and snuck in your little Red Hot.  I know you wanted to run and hide from me after that, thinking you could get your little shot in and then hide underneath your desk in that little office of yours, thinking your suit would keep you safe, but that wasn't going to happen.

Billy stops, look into the camera and shakes his head no.

Billy:  You opened up this can of worms Mark, because you can't handle the fact that every time any wrestling fans worldwide see me, they know beyond doubt, despite you endlessly saying otherwise, I am the one guy in this business who you have never been able to prove yourself to be better than.  It haunts your dreams, it has for years.  You may have been able to get away from that after years of us not seeing each other, but all it took is one time of seeing me before you again and all of those nightmares came rushing back to you, didn't they?  All you could think about was that, when push came to shove, you just weren't good enough to do to me what you had done to so many others.  Make all of the excuses you want as to why that is, but if you were so much better than me as you thought, or at least claim to think, then there would be no reason I've been the one guy throughout your entire career who you have been unable to ultimately prove yourself to be superior to.  

Billy continues to pace the ring again as he speaks.

Billy:  Well, the world can see that you wanted the opportunity to try to prove exactly that, and now you've got it.  You thought you could lay me out, run away with your hands in victory and think that somehow made you the better wrestler, but you and I both know that means absolutely nothing.  Being a cheap-shot artist counts for nothing, it doesn't make you better, it just proves to everyone else what I’ve already known about you for a long time, and that’s that you're scared.  Don’t get me wrong, I don't blame you for being scared, because you realize for one of the very few times in your career, you have absolutely no idea whether or not you can win this one.  You knew you couldn't refuse to make it happen, because you're so desperate to try to prove you're better than me, but deep down you know it nags at you that part of what makes it so difficult to prove, is because not even you are sure if you're any better.  Well when this one is over I will prove that the story was really told from that very first match.  This will all end the very same way it began, with my arms raised in victory.  For one last time Mark, you will be reminded that when you mess with this beauty, he’s gonna whoop your booty.

Billy drops the microphone as “Pour Some Sugar on Me” plays once again.  Billy puts his sunglasses back on and then goes over to the ropes and rolls backwards over the top rope and drops to the floor.  Billy then makes his was up the ramp, slapping the outstretched hands of the fans along the way as he heads to the back and the scene fades to black.

 The scene opens up just outside of the Miami, Florida home of one of SCW's newest superstars, "Beautiful" Billy James.  It is clear that years of working in worldwide wrestling companies has treated Billy well, as the house is quite impressive and sits upon some beachfront property.  After a few moments of viewing the exterior of the house, the shot slowly fades inside of the house, where Billy himself is seen sitting and waiting in front of them camera.

Billy:  Well hello there.  Glad you all could join me.  You see, with two weeks off between the last Climax Control and the upcoming Blaze of Glory II event, which will be featuring one of the single biggest matches of my career, I figured it was a perfect opportunity to take a few day trip back home.  I thought it would be for the best to have myself as level and balanced going into this match as humanly possible.  No outside distractions, no nagging thoughts just me and Mark in that ring together, and not one other element influencing that nights events.  So I figured, what better way to relax and let all my cares away then a trip back home to Miami?  So I figured while I was going to be here, I might as well take you all along for a ride and for those of you who aren't already quite familiar with me, give you a little more insight into the life and professional wrestling career of the one and only "Beautiful" Billy James.  So let's get started, shall we?

Billy gets up from his seat and waves the towards the camera, as it follows him over into the next room, which just so happens to be the living room.  As they walk in, laying on the couch watching television is the familiar face of Billy's wife, Kristen.  Billy walks over towards her and leans over the back of the couch and gives his wife a quick kiss before turning back to the camera.

Billy:  I believe you should all know my lovely wife Kristen by now.  Some of you who followed us back earlier in our careers have probably seen far more of her than those others.

A smirk appears across Billy's face as he makes that comment, however it quickly disappears as Kristen reaches back and smacks Billy on the arm for his comment.  Billy is quick to turn to her with a look of innocence on his face as he shrugs at her.

Billy:  What did I say?

Kristen:  Don't think for a second that I, nor those mans, don't know what you're getting at.

Billy:  Well it's true, isn't it?  Let's be honest hun, you and I were like rabbits when we were younger.  We were notorious for some very, let's call them "eye-opening" activities backstage at events in the old days.

Kristen:  Maybe so, we were also a couple of young kids out on the road with lots of money to burn in those days.  Now we're a married couple looking to start a family, those days are over Billy-boy.

Billy:  Oh trust me, I've already been made well aware of that.

Kristen:  Keep it up funny guy and you'll soon get to quickly learn how good you've still got it.

Billy:  You don't need to tell me.  I'm not complaining I think it's just that some of the fans might miss some of the things they used to get peaks of.

Kristen:  Fair enough.  Can't say that I particularly blame them.

Kristen then turns and faces the camera, flashing a big bright smile towards it as Billy can't help but laugh at the sight.  Billy turns back towards the camera, talking straight into it as he points his thumb back behind him towards Kristen.

Billy:  And to think, people think I'm obsessed with my own looks, just listen to this one.

Kristen:  Yeah, but in my case it's at least justified.

Billy chuckles at Kristen's comment before moving along further through the house, turning towards the camera and talking into it as he moves along.

Billy:  Go figure we get along so well, huh?  We have just a little bit in common, don't you think?

From there, Billy continues on to the next room of the house, which has a number of pictures up on the walls, mostly of either Billy or Kristen from when they were children.  Billy stops and looks at the pictures for a moment as he speaks again.

Billy:  Here’s where it all started.  Me as a young pup.  You know, I grew up around here.  Really spent pretty much my entire young life in this general area.  All these pictures here are from around here.  All throughout elementary school, middle school, high school… all around here.  Even when it was time to go off to college I didn’t travel too far, instead I ended up at, where else?  The University of Miami of course.  My entire childhood I had wanted to be a Hurricane and so as soon as the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at it.

Billy points over to the opposite wall from where he is standing, showing his diploma from the University of Miami hanging up there.

Billy:  Not that I can say that I was particularly the greatest student in the world, but I got through it all.  I’ll be honest, I was one of those kids who the education part of college wasn’t what I was really there for.  While I was there, lots of other things had my attention, like the football team, which I actually played for while I was there.  Keep in mind, that’s AMERICAN football I’m talking about here.  We’ll get into all of that later though.  The truth is, I never really got to use that degree for a whole lot, as it was soon after college that I got into wrestling.  Went through the training process, worked the independent scene for a little bit, but before you knew it I was in the big-times.  I hit the ground running and really started making a name for myself.  That brings us to this room.

Billy walks over to a doorway to the next room, putting his hand on the door handle to open it but first stopping and turning back towards the camera.

Billy:  In truth, this is the one room in my house that probably carries some sort of significance for those of you bothering to sit there and watching this right now.  Let’s be honest, you guys aren’t here because of my college football career.

With that, Billy opens up the door and steps into the room, with the camera following in right in behind him to show this to be Billy’s wrestling trophy room.

Billy:  Here it all is.  Every single major accomplishment of my wrestling career is on display in this room.  Over here you can see where it all started, with my arrival in the first major wrestling federation I was ever a part of, ASFW.  This is a picture from my very first match there.

Billy walks to the room and points to a framed picture hanging up on the wall that is him in the ring in the midst of a match.

Billy:  Needless to say, that one ended up as a mark in the win column.  Then again, that shouldn’t be of particular surprise given how will my time in ASFW actually went.  For those of you didn’t already know, I went my entire ASFW career without ever once being pinned or submitting.  Granted, I did technically lose one match in my time there, but that was a triple threat match that saw a finish that didn’t even involve me at all.  But hey, that’s no excuse and credit where it’s due, Damien Diamond was the better man on that day.  Of course, it would turn out that he wasn’t able to say the same the next time we stepped into the ring together.  And I think you all know where this is leading us.

Billy walks over to the first case setup the room, and inside of it is sitting a wrestling championship belt.

Billy:  Here it is, my very first title of my entire wrestling career, the ASFW World Heavyweight Championship.  I captured this belt from Damien and man did I have quite the impressive list of challengers after that.  I ended up in quite the heated feud with “Too Sexy” James Paige which eventually even led to him having to wear a dress.

Billy smiles and laughs as he remembers that moment.

Billy:  Truth be told, I’m kind of disappointed I don’t have a picture of that in the room.  Then again, as hilarious as it may have been, I’m really not sure I want to be looking at that goof in a dress all that often.  But to get back to the point, after a series of matches with Paige that coincided with ASFW’s last days, I managed to successfully retain the title throughout all of that time and until the day ASFW closed it’s doors, finishing up as the companies very last, and undefeated, World Heavyweight Champion.  But trust me, that was only the beginning.

From there, Billy walks over and comes up to a much larger trophy case that takes up pretty much the entire length of the wall it is up against and has numerous shelves.  The case also has a big engraved sign at the top that reads “GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING”.

Billy:  ASFW wasn’t really done, they had just worked out a deal with another company to have a merger and ultimately result in the company a lot of you are already quite familiar with, GCW.  That’s when things really got crazy with my wrestling career.  Things certainly started off with a bang as, being the last-ever ASFW Champion I was given the opportunity to go up against the last champion from the other company that they merged with, GPW, who was amusingly enough known by his ring name of Miami Hurricane.  We faced off in the main event of GCW’s very first show and I walked away as the victor and GCW’s first World Heavyweight Champion.  Trust me, it wasn’t easy though.  Miami Hurricane was an amazingly tough competitor and is a true legend in this industry.  Truth be told, I hope one day he decides to come on out of retirement and join a lot of the old familiar faces here in SCW.  It was an honor that I not only got to win such a prestigious title, but to be able to kick off the company with being able to face off against him to decide who got to take him this beauty.

Billy points over to the GCW Championship belt sitting in the case behind him.

Billy:  And to be clear, this time I’m not talking about myself.

Billy flashes a big goofy smile towards the camera before continuing on.

Billy:  Now unfortunately there was a bit of controversy surrounding my title reign, but the flip side to that is that it was my also second World Championship reign that ended up as being undefeated, so that’s something, right?  Given all of that, I kind of stepped away from the GCW title picture.  They held a tournament to crown a new champion, which was won by a very familiar face to you all, Austin Parker.  He had quite an impressive reign with the belt after that, which didn’t exactly rub a lot of people the right way considering back in those days, he wasn’t exactly the most popular man around if you could believe that.  Of course, his reign eventually had to come to an end like they all due and his came to an end at the hands of another very familiar face.  Someone you all know quite well and I do as well, and really the main reason I’m sitting here talking to you all know, the one and only Hot Stuff Mark Ward.  I’ll tell you what, Hot Stuff was on a tear once he got that belt, and was dominating throughout the company.  Truth be told, I never even considered the idea of going after the belt once Mark got it.  My friend was champion and I was happy for him, that was enough for me.  Of course, that only could last for so long, as Mark and I were eventually forced to face each other in a match for Mark’s title by that giant douche nozzle Craig Suchodolski.  I mean, what was that guy’s deal?  What an obnoxious loser.  Seriously, who would ever want anything to do with that sorry sack of…

Billy suddenly stops in mid-sentence as he just stares into the camera for a moment with a somewhat confused expression on his face.  He suddenly shakes it off as he continues on.

Billy:  But I digress, the point is Mark and I were forced into that match, for this guy…

Billy points back to the GCW title belt in the case behind him.

Billy:  … which meant more to the guys in that company than anything else.  I’m sure you all got to see the craziness that went on in the match when they showed that recap package a couple of weeks ago, but when it was all said and done, I walked out with the belt around my waist as the companies first two-time champion.  Thanks to my good buddy Mark deciding to cost me a match during a title defense against Damien Diamond, I lost my record of never having been pinned up until that point in my career but more importantly, I lost the GCW Championship.  That said, it gave me the opportunity to exercise my rematch clause, win back my title and become the companies very-first three-time champion, an honor that I would go on to share with only one other man many, many years down the road.  Of course, I think you can all guess who that ended up being.  Who else?  Ole Hot Stuff himself.  Then again, considering he shared the title with a man by the name of Guy Grant during his last reign, I suppose you could argue he’s really more like a two-and-a-half time champion, but whatever.  To give credit where it’s due, Mark’s second reign began not too long after my third reign did, as it was Mark who ultimately took the title from me when we had the match of a lifetime in a 90-Minute No DQ Iron Man match.  I may not have walked out of that match the victor, but with a final score of 7-6 and seeing the last twenty minutes or so be mostly just Mark bashing my head in with a steel chair, I’m still damn proud of the performance.

Billy turns and points to one of the GCW Award’s that is in the case, this one being for the Match of the Year that was awarded to Mark and Billy for that match.

Billy:  Truth be told though, that was really the end of me going after singles titles.  I had plenty of other feuds, there was the whole Perfection Connection and Corporation fiasco which went on for years but I also, for the first time in my career, tried out dabbling in some tag team wrestling.  My old friend Jordan and I had quite a nice run together as Perfect Dynasty, having never lost a match as a team and picking up a few nice rewards in the process.  We had an undefeated reign as GCW Tag Team Champions until eventually opting to vacate the titles, we were named GCW’s Tag Team of the Year and not only that, we won this puppy.

Billy points into the trophy case and sitting directly next to his Tag Team Championship belt is a large trophy with Billy and Jordan’s names on it.

Billy:  The WWA Liberty Cup.  Don’t tell Jordan you saw it here, I’m pretty sure he thinks this got lost in the shuffle back when GCW closed it’s doors.  Hey, what do you want me to tell you?  There’s only one of these cups and I wanted it, so mums the word alright?

Billy puts his finger up to his lips, doing some shushing as he looks into the camera.

Billy:  After that I had a short-lived team with Shane Boswell’s cousin Matt in the Party Boys after Shane left GCW.  Truth be told, I simply couldn’t handle drinking that much all the time, and thankfully Shane came back to the company and put a quick end to that.  Now you may be wondering what’s with the whole history lesson, but the point is all coming back full circle now.  And that is this:  outside of my couple of runs in tag teams, pretty much my entire wrestling career since that faithful championship match has focused around one of the two greatest foes of my career, GCW’s Corporation stable, which is what started this all off to begin with, and Hot Stuff himself.  The feud with the former group was eventually put to bed, as long as that may have taken, and the group is long since gone out of the wrestling scene.  The latter, on the other hand, now has me stepping back into a wrestling ring.  Old habits may die hard, but I’m telling you all right now, that I am here to finally put this one to bed once and for all.  After that?  Well I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see what happens next.

Billy flashes a smile before turning and walking away, as the camera focuses in on the various other title belts and awards featured in Billy’s trophy cases, panning around over all of them as the scene slowly fades.



The scene opens back up later in the day, elsewhere in Miami as Billy and Kristen have gone to visit Billy’s parents.  The four sit around the kitchen table talking as they munch away on some snacks that Billy’s mother has prepared for them.

Billy:  I understand what you’re saying mom, but this is hardly a first for me.  It may not be pretty but in the end I’m sure I’ll  be fine.

Mom:  You know I never liked seeing you in any of your matches, especially not the ones with all those special rules and ways for you to get hurt.  But this one, this one seems so much worse than any of those ever were.

Dad:  Your mother is right, Bill.  This match sounds unbelievably violent.

Kristen:  I’ve been telling him that, but he just doesn’t want to listen!

Billy:  It’s not that I’m not listening.  What is that you want me to tell you?  I know you guys are right, but this needs to be done.

Mom:  No, it doesn’t.  What I want you to tell me is that you won’t go through with the match.

Billy:  Are you kidding me?  I’m not backing out and you know better than to think that.  You guys know how far back this stuff with Mark goes.

Dad:  You don’t need to back out.  Just get the match to changed something less… gruesome.

Mom:  I really don’t understand the point of this match anyway.  You two hadn’t talked in years, what’s so different now?  Besides, you’re both so much older and more mature now.  Can’t you two just sit down and talk through this like gentlemen?

Billy:  That’s not going to happen, Ma.

Mom:  Well why not?  I remember meeting that Mark boy all those years back when you two were still friends, and he seemed very nice to me.

Dad:  Yeah, I thought he was a riot.

Billy:  I thought the same as you two back in those days, but a lot has changed since then.

Kristen:  This is the one thing I will defend Billy on.  There’s no way to settle this with Mark.  It’s either this match or anything, and I think you know your son well enough to know that nothing is not an option.

Mom:  But still, couldn’t they come up with something else?  Even if still a match just a different match, ANY other match.

Billy:  Hey, this wasn’t my idea.  You have a problem with the match you can take it up with Mark.  This is the match he wanted and I promise you, he’s the one who’s going to live to regret that, not me.

Dad:  Well I’ve got to say, I like that attitude son.  Knock ‘em dead, son.

Billy:  Thanks pops, that’s the plan.

Dad:  I was speaking figuratively of course.

Billy:  I know pops.  It’s ok.

Dad:  Good, just wanted to be clear.

Billy:  It’s fine, I’m not going to kill the guy.  Although, I’ll tell you what, I’m going to hurt him… very, very badly.

Mom:  I cannot listen to any more of this!

Billy’s mom gets up from her seat at the table and goes walking off out of the kitchen as Billy calls after her.

Billy:  Mom… hold on a second.  Wait!!

Billy’s mom simply ignores him, as she seems to be in quite a panic as she goes rushing off out of sight.  Once she is gone, Billy turns back to his father.

Billy:  Listen pops, you cannot let her watch this match.

Dad:  How exactly do you expect me to do that?  As much as she may not want to watch your match, you know she watches each and every last one of them, no matter how many times I tell her not to.

Billy:  I don’t know, just lie to her if you have to.  Tell her the match is a different day or something like that.

Dad:  Your mother isn’t an idiot, son.  She’s not going to fall for that.  Besides, I don’t know why you’re so worried about it.  I’m the one who’s going have to put up with her hysteria, not you.  In the end it will be no different than every other one of your matches.

Billy:  Of course it will be.  You and I both know it’s going to be bad.  Even Kristen is unhappy about this match.

Kristen:  It’s true, and trust me, it takes a lot for me to get worked up over one of your son’s matches.

Billy:  Exactly.  Mom, on the other hand?  Not so much.  I mean, don’t you remember how upset mom was, and for how long, after watching Hot Stuff smash away at me with a steel chair at the end of that Iron Man match?  You told me she had a complete breakdown while you guys were watching it, and by the time I saw her a whole week later, she was still a complete mess over the whole thing.

Dad:  Yeah, that was pretty bad, wasn’t it?

Billy:  It certainly was and the truth of the matter is, as much as I hate to have to admit it, in all likelihood, despite the fact that I am going to win this match, it’s probably going to be far more bloody and brutal of a match than that one was.

Dad:  You really think so?

Kristen:  Why do you think I’ve been trying to talk him out of it?!

Dad:  In that case, I don’t even know if I want to watch this.

Billy:  Oh, who are you kidding, pops?

Billy’s dad looks back at Billy with a very stern and serious look on his face for a few seconds before eventually cracking a smile.

Dad:  Yeah alright, fine.  There’s no way I could help myself from watching this.  Besides, I’ve got all of the confidence in the world in you, son.  I’ll even be throwing some cash down on you.

Billy:  You always were a smart man, dad.  Listen, you guys sit tight, I’ll be right back.

Kristen:  Where are you going?

Billy:  Heading up to my old room.

Dad:  We’re kind of redoing things up there, you know.  It’s a bit of a mess.

Billy:  Whatever, that’s fine.  Just something I need to grab out of my closet.

Dad:  Really?  I didn’t think you still had much of anything here.

Billy:  I don’t really, but it’s my old wrestling gear.  That’s what I was wearing last time I went up against Mark, when I beat on him all throughout the streets of London and eventually walked away with the victory.  I figure it seems like as good of thing as any to wear on Sunday.

Kristen:  Assuming you can still fit in that old thing at your age.

Billy:  Oh, we’ve got a funny lady here, huh?  Laugh it up, but of the two of us, I’m the one who’s still in ring shape.

Kristen:  Yeah, but I still look quite amazing, don’t I?

Dad:  She’s got you there son?

Billy:  That’s my wife you’re looking at old man, push those eyes back into your head.

The group all shares a laugh as Billy then turns and heads upstairs to go grab his old ring gear as the scene fades.



The scene opens up a few days later as Billy has made his way back to the west coast, showing the outside shot of a television studio lot in Burbank, California.  The scene then moves inside of the studio which is revealed to be in the process of filming this evening’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  As the scene moves into the studio, Leno is standing at the front of the stage and it becomes clear that the point in the filming is just after Leno’s monologue is just ending.

Leno:  We’ll be right back with wrestling superstar “Beautiful” Billy James, right after this!

With that, the director calls for the cut and then Leno moves from his spot at the stage to his seat behind his desk.  Leno grabs his cup of coffee and takes a drink, waiting until everything is set and then the director cues Leno that they are rolling once again.  Leno turns towards the camera and immediately starts with his introduction.

Leno:  My first guest for tonight is one of wrestling’s biggest stars, he’s a former 4-time World Champion and has recently made his return to the ring.  Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome “Beautiful” Billy James.

The crowd cheers as the Tonight Show Band plays a version of “Pour Some Sugar on Me” to Billy’s entrance as he comes out from the backstage area.  As Billy walks out, Leno gets up from his seat behind his desk and walks to the other side of it.  Billy walks right up to Jay and the two men shake hands before Billy takes a seat in one of the guest chairs and Jay sits back down behind his desk.

Leno:  Thanks for coming here tonight Billy.

Billy:  I’m thrilled to be here, thanks for having me Jay.

Leno:  Glad to do it, just do me a favor and don’t hit me ok?

Billy:  Just don’t make me upset and I’m sure we’ll be fine.

Billy cracks a smile as the crowd laughs in response.

Leno:  I think I can handle that.  Now as a lot of people around know, the reason you are here tonight is because of your return to the wrestling ring, but I have to ask, before we get into all of that, give us a little background about how you ended up with a wrestling career in the first place.

Billy:  Well that all goes way back, Jay.  I was a huge fan of wrestling when I was a little bid, and I was always big into athletics throughout my entire childhood. I was in all sorts of little leagues, on a whole bunch of high school teams and even played sports into college.

Leno:  Oh really, now what did you play in college?

Billy:  Well I went to school at the University of Miami, so what else is a guy to do?  I played for the Miami Hurricane’s football team.

Leno:  What position did you play in football?

Billy:  Left bench.

The crowd laughs again as Billy continues on.

Billy:  But seriously, I played linebacker.

Leno:  So you had some experience hitting people before you got into wrestling then?

Billy:  Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Leno:  Did you ever have any plans to pursue of professional football career?

Billy:  Well I was only half kidding when I said I played left bench.  The truth of the matter was I was alright, but I knew pretty early in my college days that I simply wasn’t a good enough football player to ever make it in the NFL.  So after I graduated, that seemed like that would be the end of athletics for me, but I really didn’t want it to be.  I found out about this wrestling school right in the area where I was already living from this friend of mine, so I figured while I was working part time at whatever random places would pay me and try to find my real job, it would be cool to learn how to wrestle.  I figured I could maybe wrestle in some shows and that sounded like a lot more fun way to make some money on the side while I tried to figure out what I really wanted to do then flipping burgers or waiting tables or something like that.

Leno:  I could see that.  Why wouldn’t have three hundred pound men punch you in the face over and over not seem like a great way to make some cash?

Billy:  As funny as it is, that was nowhere near the biggest problem.  The real problem was that I found out real quick that independent wrestling promoters don’t pay their wrestlers squat.  I was about as broke as can be.  I loved doing it and I got real good at it real fast, but it looked like it was all going to come to an end mighty quickly.

Leno:  So what kept that from happening?

Billy:  Once I had gotten some real match experience, the owner of the wrestling school I went to got in touch with me and told me he knew some guys who were involved in running ASFW and got me a tryout there.  At the time, that place was growing by leaps and bounds, so I was so unbelievably psyched to be getting a shot like that and I knew I had to make the most of it.

Leno:  As we all now know, that tryout must have gone pretty well.

Billy:  Yeah, I don’t know about that.  From what I heard there may have been a little bit of disagreement amongst those running the show over there whether or not they thought I was ready.  From what I heard, they ultimately decided to give me a shot figuring they didn’t want to miss out on a good thing if I ended up realizing my potential and figured worst case scenario they could send me packing after a couple of matches and nobody would ever even remember I was there.

Leno:  Sounds like a gamble that paid off quite well for them.

Billy:  Perhaps, but even more so for me than for them.  ASFW is where I got my first real shot and it’s ultimately how I went on to become the kind of worldwide celebrity that’s good enough to be the first guest on the Tonight Show.

Leno:  That’s a fair point.  No offense to you, but let’s be honest, it takes a lot for a wrestler to get this kind of booking.

Billy:  Yeah, and I didn’t even have to star in 50 B-Movies first like The Rock did.

Another round of laughs comes from the crowd as Leno quickly fires back.

Leno:  It was his riveting portrayal of the Scorpion King in Mummy Returns that really sold me.

The laughter continues as Billy responds.

Billy:  I have no doubt about that.

Leno:  So let’s continue on with your career though.  ASFW is what got you to where you are today, but it’s not necessarily where you had your most success.

Billy:  Well one led right into the other.  It was ASFW that got me my start and, ultimately, got me into GCW, which is where my career really took off.  My time there helped me become of the most well-known names of this generation in wrestling and my reputation only grew as GCW did as well.  Things got so crazy over there that by the end of it, there’s a certain wrestling company who we all know so well, that perhaps is known for their attempts to provide the “World” with a lot of their “Wrestling Entertainment”, if you know what I’m getting at…

Billy winks towards the crowd, drawing a laugh from Leno as he continues on.

Billy:  … started to become notorious for ripping off tons of our work.

Leno:  Is that really true?

Billy:  Oh, you bet it is.  I always tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and figure there’s only so many unique things that can be really done out there, so sooner or later the same people are going to be coming up with the same ideas as their competitors on occasion.  After a while though, even I couldn’t deny there were things that went well beyond the point of coincidence.

Leno:  Like what?  Can you give us any examples?

Billy:  Like everything.  It was feuds, matches, angles and even wrestling moves.  There were seriously instances where we had guys inventing new moves on our shows and then suddenly a week later, that exact move with even the same exact name, is showing up on another popular wrestling program.

Leno:  Wow, that’s tough to argue against.

Billy:  That’s what I’m saying.  The reality is that if it weren’t for the fact that we never appeared in any movies, guys like me and a number of other GCW’s biggest stars would be right on par with The Rock when it comes to our celebrity.  The truth is I was actually given some opportunities to do some acting, but I ended up deciding against it.

Leno:  Really?  That’s kind of surprising to hear.

Billy:  What, that someone would actually offer me a part in a movie?

Jay can’t help but laugh before responding.

Leno:  No, no.  I mean that you turned it down.  Why was that?

Billy:  Oh, that.  I just didn’t really feel it suited me.  Sure I could cut promos in front of a live crowd and do all of that stuff, which was great.  But sitting around and spending all of me time doing the same things over and over again, all completely scripted, while trying to pretend I’m someone or something that I’m really not?  That’s that what I’m all about, it just doesn’t work for me.  I felt that I had already gotten more than enough fame through my wrestling career.

Leno:  That you did.  Now there was another guy in GCW who had a similar track-record for worldwide fame, who when you guys were there together, you took turns being both the best of friends and worst of enemies.  Which brings us what everyone hear really wants to hear you talk about, Hot Stuff Mark Ward.

Billy:  That really is the perfect way to put it.  As much as things have changed over the years, we got along great for quite a while, whether it was in the ring or out, on the shows or backstage, or even just in our personal loves.  That obviously didn’t last though.

Leno:  Clearly not and that ultimately brings you to why you are here today.  This Sunday at the supercard of your newest employer SCW, Blaze of Glory II, you and Mark are set to face off one last time, is that right?

Billy:  That it is, and SCW is actually part-owned by Mark to top that all off.  But none of that other stuff matters at this point because we are simply trying to finally put this one to bed once and for all.  We have already had four matches one on one against each other, some of the greatest of either of our careers, but this looks like its going to put them all to shame.  The record stands at 2-2, and it’s time to finally break that tie.

Leno:  Well if you ask me, I’d say it’s more like 8-8.

Billy:  Is that so?

Leno:  Of course, why not count all of those pins from that Iron Man match you guys had?  Let’s be honest, it’s not like you find yourself getting pinned all that often, so every one has to count!

Billy:  That’s an interesting point you make there.  So I take it you’ve seen the match?

Leno:  Of course, everyone knows I’m a big wrestling fan.  I even wrestled a match once, as you may remember.

Billy:  Oh yeah, I forgot all about that.  That sure was an… interesting… situation they had going on over there, huh?

Leno:  I think it tells you how talented I really was.

Billy:  Yeah, sure.  Keep in mind, this is the same company that went on to have David Arquette as it’s World Champion.

The crowd laughs as Leno chuckles while responding.

Leno:  I guess you’ve got me there.  Either way, I’m a fan and I saw the match, so like I said, I call it 8-8.

Billy:  So be it, either way it’s all tied up and it’s time to finally break that tie once and for all.  It’s rubber match time and this one is sure to be a doozy, and hopefully put an end to this all, once and for all.

Leno:  I don’t see any way that it doesn’t.  The reality that needs to be acknowledged here is, whether you guys like it or not, or whether you even really want it to or not, it's looking very likely that there could be some gruesome violence that is sure to come with this match and there’s a risk here that could make it that this is the very last match either of you have in their careers.  

Billy:  Don’t think for a second that possibility hasn’t crossed the minds of both myself and Mark.  I’ll admit that we both probably thought we would never step into the ring together again if you asked either of us a few months ago.  I mean, look at it.  I had been retired for years and by all accounts, Mark had seen the match that he and Jordan had against Twisted Steel & Sex Appeal as his final hurrah.

Leno:  It may have seemed that way, but old habits die hard.

Billy:  You know, that’s a great title for my roleplay.

Leno:  Your what?  What are you talking about?

Billy:  Nothing.  Never mind.  Don’t worry about it.

Leno:  Fair enough.  So how exactly did this end up all coming together anyway?

Billy:  Well if you go back to a little less than a year ago, I ended up having a random encounter with a friend of Mark’s who I had met a number of times before, Nick Jones.  He was in GXW back while I was in GCW and we had a lot of crossover going on between those companies, plus he was by Mark’s side the last time we had gone through all of this mess, so I knew the guy already.  Well our chance encountered ending up yielding some very interesting results.

Leno:  It certainly did.  For those of you who don’t know the background here, Nick is not exactly none as a particularly loveable guy in the wrestling world, but Billy here was trying to help him change his ways.

Billy:  That’s one way to put it.  It ultimately ended up with Nick, who was in the process of feuding with a mutual friend of mine and Mark’s, Jordan Williams, ending up actually kind of aligning himself with Jordan and the two of them forming a bit of a friendship.  Granted, it didn’t last very long before Nick went back to his old ways and turned on Jordan, but who would have thought it would be Jordan who would have changed his ways a few months later to realign himself with Nick.  But how that all comes into play here, is it got me to become more interested in what was going on in SCW, even having me start attending some of their shows.

Leno:  Wasn’t there some sort of cruise liner they had a show on?

Billy:  Right you are, Jay.  That’s how I convinced my wife to take the trip out to the first show we went to.  It’s no surprise she wasn’t thrilled about the idea of taking a trip from our home in Miami out to Las Vegas just to go see a wrestling show.  So I turned it into a vacation, we went on the cruise and of course, showed up for the SCW show as well.  It was all great.

Leno:  Until?

Billy:  Until Nick got all pissy about something, not like I can keep track of what.

The crowd laughs as Billy continues on.

Billy:  So he saw me and for some reason, decided to take his frustrations out on me.  I’m sitting in the crowd and that big douche decides to jump me.  That kind of changed everything for me.  Now don’t get me wrong, at that point I had no intentions of making my return to wrestling.  As far as I saw it, this was simply a personal issue.  I wasn’t worried about having a match, I simply saw it as me needing to take a chance to smack Nick around a bit.  No real match, but just me beating on him, and that'd be the end of it.

Leno:  Now this is still all revolving around Nick Jones?

Billy:  Exactly.  At this point I hadn’t spoken to or seen Mark in God knows how many years.  I know Mark thinks this is all about him, but when this all started, it had nothing to do with him.  Even when I was going to SCW shows, I really had no intentions of even seeing Mark, never mind getting back into the ring with him.  But like you said, old habits die hard and after a few fist-fights between Nick and I, I found myself on the receiving end of a boot to the chin from a guy I hadn't had a moment of association with in at least 6 years.

Leno:  Ah yes, the Red Hot.  That one always looked like it hurt.  A lot.

Billy:  It certainly does, but you get used to it after you’ve been hit with it a hundred or so times.

Leno:  Really?  You do?

Billy:  No, not at all.

Billy smiles as more laughs come from the crowd.

Billy:  The kick is what got the ball rolling though.  Before you knew it, we were back at each others throats.  It was at that point that I realized that, unless I came back and got Hot Stuff back into the ring with me, this was truly never going to end.  So I went to Mark’s SCW Co-Owner, Christian Underwood, signed my contract and here we are.  

Leno:  And your return has certainly started off with a bang.

Billy:  What can I say, there was a line of people ready to step in the ring with me.  When I put my name on the dotted line, I figured it made the most sense to start things off by settling my first issue in SCW, by facing off against Nick.  I give that guy a ton of credit, the kid has a ton of talent and I can certainly see why he's a 2-time champ, but in the end, I showed that I’ve still got it.  Mark doesn’t want to admit it, but I showed him that I need to be taken seriously and I can still, to this day, step into that ring and go toe-to-toe with anyone.

Leno:  It was certainly a nice way to start things off.

Billy:  Yeah, but Mark presents a whole new challenge.  I’ve had some tough challenges to start off with, but as much as I hate the guy, Mark’s on a different level.  Nick was a tough guy to start off against and then last week I faced that big man Casey Williams.  Anyone who watched that could see he gave me a run for my money, and that’s a big boy we’re talking about there, but I was still able to come away with the win.  Those matches really helped get me back into my rhythm in a way that training just cannot do.  The reason why is that, perhaps most importantly, it got me used to again with what it's like to have to deal with dirty wrestlers who will do absolutely anything to try to pick up a victory.  It didn't work for either of them, so Mark better realize none of his cheap tactics are going to be enough to pick up a victory over me like it has for so many other wrestlers he's faced.

Leno:  Well Mark has had prior matches in SCW as well, and done quite well for himself in them.

Billy:  Absolutely.  I mentioned his match verses TSSA earlier, not to mention he had bouts facing off against top SCW stars like Spike and Kain, who are both great talents.  That said, neither of those guys knows Mark the way I know Mark.  Sure, Spike and Mark had a long history together, but he hasn’t faced in is many, and in such a variety, of matches.  Mark isn’t going to catch me off guard or do anything that I won't be ready for.  That’s always been one of Mark’s greatest talents and strengths, being able to catch his opponents by surprise and ultimately completely turn the tide of his matches in a single moment because of that, but that simply will not work against me.

Leno:  I am certainly looking forward to it.  We have to go to commercial, but don’t go anywhere, we’ve got a special surprise for you when we come back as we have more with Billy James after this!

The Tonight Show band plays the show out to commercial as Billy and Jay are seen shaking hands and talking off-microphone as it goes to commercial.  The two of them then stand up and walk off to the side stage typically used for when bands play, which already has some mats setup on the ground.  They go and stand on them as a little bit later, the director cues them being back from commercial.

Leno:  We’re back here with Billy James, and Billy you have a bit of a special surprise for is, isn’t that right?

Billy:  That I do Jay, it’s time for me to teach you all some wrestling maneuvers!

Leno:  That sounds great, but as we discussed earlier, I’m a former wrestler so I already  know the moves.

Billy:  Well then let’s consider the refresher course.

Leno:  Ok the truth is I really just know better than to let you lay your hands on me.  The last think I want is to end up the way Jerry Springer did the last time he had any professional wrestlers on his show.

Billy cannot help but laugh before responding.

Billy:  Why do people keep bringing that up to me lately?  I promise you that I won’t do anything like that.

Leno:  I believe you but just in case, you’ll be performing your little teaching less on the leader of the Tonight Show Band, Rickey Minor!

Jay points over to the side of the stage where Rickey is seen coming over from the band situation as he waves to the crowd while receiving a nice warm round of applause.  Billy and Rickey change hands as Rickey also steps onto the mats.

Billy:  Don’t worry Rickey, I won’t hurt you.  Well, not too badly at least.

The crowd laughs as Rickey takes a step back from Billy.

Billy:  Nah, considering yourself lucky that you’re not that annoying bald idiot who runs the band for the old man’s show Jay is going up against.

While the crowd laughs, Jay seems somewhat uncomfortable with the topic, but tries to play along anyway.

Leno:  Why’s that?

Billy:  Isn’t it obvious?  For starters, he would be Paul Shaffer, which by itself would be awful, but secondly, I would be more than happy to be a beating on that obnoxiously irritating moron.  I can’t believe that guy still has a job.

Billy seems about ready to continue on, but Jay is quick to cut him off.

Leno:  How about we move on with the lesson, ok Billy?

Billy:  Ah, touchy subject, huh?  My bad.  Yeah, I guess the only thing worse than talking about your competition would be bringing that whole Conan O’Brien thing, huh?

There is a very slight bit of a laughter from the crowd as Rickey looks uncomfortable standing there and Jay glares at Billy with a rather annoyed look on his face.

Billy:  Come on, it was a joke Jay, lighten up.  Anyway, let's get this going.  Here are just a few basic holds that absolutely anyone can do at a moment’s notice.

With that, Billy lightly puts a hammerlock on Rickey for a few seconds before letting him go.  Billy then lightly wrenches an arm-wringer before letting go of that as well, as Rickey shakes off his arm a bit.

Billy:  See?  Didn’t even take him off of his feet.  Now those are some simple moves, but it can do the trick and most importantly, are easy things to counter into when someone goes wildly swinging at you.  Now with that said, a big part of being able to have success in the wrestling ring is also having a sort of sixth-sense and being able to understand where your opponent is at all times.  In professional wrestling, people will take every opportunity they can to get you from behind and take advantage, so you have to be ready for it.

As Billy is saying this, Rickey is standing a bit off to the side and puts his finger up to leaps as he signals towards the crowd to be quiet.  Then, slowly but surely, Rickey gets closer up behind Billy as Billy continues on.

Billy:  You have to be ready for anything.  You absolutely never know when someone will strike.  The moment you expect it to happen the least is the same moment it’s most likely to happen.

Just as Billy says that, Rickey Minor grabs Billy from behind in a waistlock.  However, before Rickey can do anything else, Billy reaches behind him, grabbing Rickey and hiptosses him right over and down onto the mat they are stand on top of.  Billy then looks back at Leno with a smile on his face.

Billy:  See what I mean?  Here, let me help you up.

Billy reaches down and grabs Rickey by the hand, pulling him back up to his feet.

Rickey:  Thank you.

Rickey then quickly moves in and tries to get in a cheap shot, using the fact that he already has Billy by the hand as an opportunity to pull him in as he tries to swing at him.  However, Billy is quick to react as he deflects the attack, grabs Rickey’s arm in the process and quickly cranks on an armlock.  Billy then holds Rickey there with only one hand as he turns back to Leno to he continue on his conversation.

Billy:  Some people never learn do they?

Leno:  I’ve got to try that next time he’s getting out of line.

Billy laughs and then let’s go of Rickey, at which point Rickey tumbles down to the mat and grabs his arm in pain.  Billy then turns back to Jay who outstretches his hand and the two men shakes hands.

Leno:  Thanks so much for coming tonight and for your educational demonstration.  Best of luck in your match on Sunday.

Billy:  Thanks Jay, I appreciate it.  And thanks for having me.

Leno:  Ladies and gentlemen, “Beautiful” Billy James!  You can catch him this Sunday at the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada or watch SCW’s Blaze of Glory II streaming live.  We’ll be right back!

The band, minus Rickey, plays the show out to commercial as Billy and Jay shake hands one more time as the show goes out to commercial and the scene fades.



The scene opens back up inside the lobby of the Gold Cost Casino, sight of SCW Blaze of Glory II, in the area by the hotel check-in.  A moment later, Billy and Kristen come walking into the area with their bags and are about to go check in, when Billy suddenly stops in his tracks and seems shocked at what he sees off-camera.

Billy:  Wow, you have got to be kidding me.  I never thought I would see this day.  Look at this group of old-timers.

The camera pans over to show, seated in a little sitting area setup in the lobby on a couple of couches are a number of familiar faces to Billy, as they are three of the seven former Co-Owners of GCW; Mike Johnson, Craig Suchodolski and the father to Billy’s greatest foe, Mark Ward, Sr.  As the group sees Billy approach them, they all get up from their seats to great Billy.  They all begin to speak to one another as they shake hands.

Billy:  Hey guys, it’s crazy seeing you here.

Mike:  How could we miss this?  We’ve been there for the feud between you and Hot Stuff from the very beginning.  Obviously Mark was going to be here for this, so me and Craig decided to join him.

Mark Sr:  It’s true, we’ve been watching everything for years and years between you two.  Obviously I had to come check out my son, but I would have wanted to see this match regardless.

Craig:  Yeah, yeah… I’m with them one everything they said about the match.  But Kristen, I see you are looking as lovely as ever.

Kristen:  Aw, thanks Craig.

Craig and Kristen go to shake hands, at which point Craig pulls her hand in and kisses it.  Billy grabs Kristen by the arm, pulling on it and taking her hand away from Craig’s grip in the process as Billy scowls at Craig, who simply reacts with a huge smile in Billy’s direction.

Billy:  Watch it, buddy.  Remember, you can’t fire me anymore.

Craig:  Point well taken.  But being serious, this match really should be something else.  I’m pumped for it.

Billy:  Well I appreciate that guys.  Although I’ve really got to ask, who are you all rooting for?  It’s ok, you can be honest with me, I won’t take it personally.  I can’t promise Hot Stuff will be as forgiving if word travels over to him, but that’s a whole different story.  You can be honest with me Papa Ward, deep down you’re really rooting for me, aren’t you?

The group chuckles before Mark Sr starts to respond, as he is laying on the sarcasm very thick.

Mark Sr:  That’s a tough one.  I really have to think it over.  Although I guess I would have to say, as tough as this would be for you to believe, I’m going to have to go with Mark on this one.  You know, that whole thing about being my son just ever so slightly tips the scales in his favor with me.

Billy:  Oh, I see how it is.  Going to make a big deal about that whole “family” thing, huh?  Geez, what’s this guys problem?

Billy turns to Mike and Craig as he says that, who simply roll their eyes and laugh at Billy.

Billy:  So what about you two?  You’re on my side, right?

Craig:  Actually, I’ve got to admit, I’m rooting for you this time around?

Billy gets a look of complete shock on his face.

Billy:  You’re kidding me, right?

Craig:  What?  It’s not like I ever got along so great with junior.

Mark Sr:  Don’t call him that.

Craig:  Whatever.

Craig rolls his eyes at Mark before continuing.

Craig:  It’s true though.  He and I were never really on the same side.  Sure, in the old days when it was the Perfection Connection verses the Corporation I enjoyed watching you two at each other’s throats and some of the benefits we got out of situation, but he never really did anything with the intention of being to help us out.  He was just as much of a thorn in my side as you were.

Billy:  Ok fine, then why are you rooting for me?

Craig:  Just to piss off my old buddy Mark here more than anything.

Billy:  Ah ok, that sounds like the Craig I remember.  It’s all making sense now.

Craig gets a mischievous smile on his face as he simply innocently shrugs at Billy while Mark shakes his head in Craig’s direction.

Billy:  So what about you, Mikey?

Mike:  I’m actually with Jordan on this one.  It seems so ridiculous that this is still going on.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the match will be great and I’m going to enjoy every last second of it, but I’m not taking sides on this one.  Just going to sit back, enjoy a hard fought match and may the best man win.

Billy:  Yeah, yeah.  I hear that nonsense enough from Jordan already.  You’re just too scared to take a side, I get it.

Mike:  You keep it up and you might convince me to start rooting for Hot Stuff.

Billy:  Alright fine, stick with your middle ground position then.

Kristen:  So just to recap here, what you’re all saying is that Mark is siding with Hot Stuff, Craig with Billy and Mike with Jordan.  Is that about right?

Mike:  Pretty much, yeah.

Kristen:  That doesn’t strike anyone else as funny?

Craig:  No, why would it?

Mark Sr:  Yeah, it seems to make perfect sense to me.

Kristen:  I suppose that it does.

The five of them all stop and quietly stare at each other for a moment before sharing a quick laugh and continuing on.

Billy:  Well I have to say, it’s good to see you guys.  You were there for the start so it makes sense for you to be there for the end of it all.

Mike:  Especially this guy, considering he started it all.

Mike points over in Craig’s direction.

Mark Sr:  He’s got you there, Craig.

Billy:  He really did, didn’t he?

Craig tries to look innocent as he shrugs at the grou

 Matt:  Dude, why weren’t we invited to the wedding?

Shane:  I don’t know man.  Maybe he didn’t invite any of the old wrestlers.  I mean, it’s totally been a while since we all saw each other and stuff.

Matt turns to the guys at the rest of the table and addresses them.

Matt:  Were you guys invited to the wedding?

Matt goes around the table, pointing to each one of them as he expects individual answers.

Paul:  Yep.

Edge:  Certainly was.

Adam:  Yes indeed.

Jordan:  Are you kidding me?  Of course.

Matt seems displeased with those answers and quickly turns his attention back to Billy.

Matt:  Well then why weren’t me and Shane invited?

Shane:  Yeah, why not?

Billy:  You were invited you idiots.

Shane:  We were?

Matt:  Are you sure?

Billy:  Yes I’m sure.

Matt and Shane both quickly turn towards each other and start talking one on one.

Matt:  If we were invited, why didn’t we go?

Shane:  I don’t know man, maybe we forgot?

Matt:  Could be, or maybe the invitations were lost in the mail or something.

Shane:  Yeah that might be it, or we had other plans or something.

Matt:  Or maybe…

Before Matt and Shane can continue on, Billy interrupts them.

Billy:  Hey morons, newsflash for you.  You DID go.

Matt:  Say what?

Shane:  If we went, then how come neither of us remember it?

Edge:  Why would you think?

Matt and Shane look at each other for an answer, but shrug as they don’t seem to be getting the insinuation.

Paul:  It was an open bar.

Matt:  OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH.

Shane:  That makes a lot of sense now.

Matt:  Awesome wedding you had there, Billy!

Shane:  Yeah, we had a great time!

Billy laughs at the comments from the two cousins.

Billy:  I appreciate that… I guess.  Thanks.

Adam:  Not that this rambling session isn’t fun, but I have to ask.  What exactly is it that brought us all together tonight?

Edge:  Well Billy’s back in action in SCW.

Adam:  Right, I got that.  But I’m a bit out of the loop here.  I know there had to be a good reason for Billy to get dragged out of retirement, so what is it?

Jordan:  Oh you hadn’t heard?  Billy here is back at it again with our old buddy Hot Stuff.

Adam:  That again?  Seriously.

Billy:  Hey, it wasn’t my fault.  Alright.

Jordan:  Of course it’s not.  Neither of you ever think it is.

Billy:  Yeah, yeah whatever.  I’ll make my points on the matter very clear when I cut my promo later in the week.  I plan on making a very real statement with this.  I just need to think of the right way to really drive it all home.

Matt:  Why don’t you go on Jerry Springer again like you did that one time?

Shane:  Yeah, or maybe Judge Judy again.  Those were awesome!

Billy:  Hate to break it to you guys, but that wasn’t me.

Matt:  It wasn’t?  Are you sure?

Billy:  Yeah, I’m sure.  I mean, they were kind of me, but not really.  See those were segments and roleplays that I wrote for other characters, not for me.

The entire table stares at Billy blankly as they seem to have no idea what he is talking about.

Jordan:  What the hell are you babbling about?

Billy:  Um, nothing, nevermind.  I think it’s time for some shots.  Let’s go up to the bar!

The group all decide to take Billy’s advice, as they get up from their seats at the table and head over to the bar.  As they all walk over, they start debating over what to do shots of as the scene slowly fades out.




The scene fades in what appears to be a large warehouse, but it is not completely clear if that is what it is or what exactly is in it, as the lights inside are turned off.  That is, with the exception of one single solitary light in the center of the room, that is shining straight downward.  Where that light shines down sits a steel folding chair, and sitting in the chair is “Beautiful” Billy James, who has his elbows on his knees as he looks down at the floor.  The camera zooms in closer and closer to Billy until the darkness all around him is gone, and Billy is all that is seen in the shot, at which point Billy looks up and straight into the camera.

Billy:  Hello there, remember me?  Time to sit down and have a little chat.  Time for you to remember that there’s not just the fun-loving happy-go-lucky Billy.  It’s time for you to have a little reminder about the Billy James who beat you all around GCW, and even your own hometown streets of London in GXW.  Of course things didn’t start that way, did they?  Oh no, if you go back many years, things were great.  We got to know each other outside of the ring through our good mutual friend, Jordan.  While you were busy teaming with Jordan in Hot ‘n’ Sexy, I was forming what would become wrestling premiers stable along with him, the Perfection Connection.  Back in those days there may have been no direct connection between us, but we would get there.  We came to know each other as casual friends, but it all grew from there.  Then came the day when things really kicked off.  Jordan and I decided to reform PC and when we did, yours were the first name Jordan brought up to add to the new version of the group.  Credit where it’s due Mark, you were a big part of helping to make that group stronger than ever.  And you know what?  You and I?  We got along fantastically.  I remember back to when you beat Austin Parker to pick up your very first World title victory, I was so brought of you.  But at some point, everything changed.  At some point, our relationship was no longer where it once was.  So the question is when, or perhaps the better question is WHERE, did that all change?  Well, why don’t you see for yourself?  Because where it all began, is right here.

Billy holds his arms up in the air and just like that, the lights in the entire warehouse kick on as the camera zooms out, showing it to be completely filled up with everything you would need in order to host a high-end wrestling show in an arena.  Seen all around through the warehouse is everything from a set, a stage, a ramp, crowd barriers, announce tables and of course, right in the middle of it all, inside of which Billy is currently sitting is, a wrestling ring.  As the camera zooms out further, it is seen that on the side of the ring, upon the ring apron reads in big bold letters “GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING”.

Billy:  That’s right Mark.  Right now I am sitting square in the center of the ring that started it all.  It’s been nearly twelve years since we were forced to step into this ring together back in Global Championship Wrestling.  Back when that no good piece of trash CEO of theirs, Craig Suchodolski, forced the two of us to face off against each other.  Nearly twelve years since we stepped into that ring as the best of friends.  Nearly twelve years since you were forced to defend that title belt against me.  What all of that means?  That means it’s been nearly twelve years since I ended your reign as GCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Billy stops for a moment, as a big, somewhat sinister, smile comes across his face.

Billy:  That was the moment it all changed Mark.  You know it and I know it.  It was that very moment which turned you into the person that we all see before us today.  Nearly twelve years ago, you lost that match to me and lost your title to me, and showed us all what your true colors really were.  On that day, you showed yourself to be a poor sport, to be untrustworthy, catty, and truth be told, to be a complete coward.

The smile disappears from Billy’s face as he looks somewhat disgusted.

Billy:  Think about what you resorted to after that, all because you couldn’t handle having lost that match.  You attacked me from behind time and again, even helping our common enemies, the very people who were responsible for us being in that match to begin with, in order to cost me the GCW World Heavyweight Championship, just out of spite. Ever since then, for nearly twelve years, this is what our relationship has been.  A relationship filled with a never-ending intense hatred and desire to put an end to one another, all based around the fact that you were unable to handle the reality that the first time you and I stepped into the ring together, I would out as the victory.

With that, the smile returns to Billy’s face.

Billy:  We have fought countless time since then, whether it has been inside or out of the ring, sanction matches or not, on different teams or even on the same one.  Yet in the end, we’ve only had four total matches where we faced off against each other, one-on-one.  Yet we both know, those were also four of the biggest matches of either of our careers.  Every time we have fought, we have driven each other to be our very best and in the end, we have each managed to pick up two victories a piece.  Now were we are, ready for match number five, the rubber match.  We are stepping into a match that promises to be the most brutal and bloody of all of the matches we have ever had, which really says quite a lot.  What does that mean?  That means this should finally put an end to it all, one way or another.  And let it be made very clear, right here and now.  How it is all going to end is really quite simply.  I’m going to remind you of what caused you to become what you are now, what caused you to lose the respect of me, an entire roster of wrestlers and wrestling fans throughout the entire world; and that is that, when it is all said and done, whether you like it, or can admit to it, or can – the bottom line is I am simply better than you.  You can deny it all you like for every day up until we step into the ring together once again, but once we are inside that ring and the bell has run, there will be nothing more that you can say or do.  In the end, it will be just the two of us, and with an entire world watching, they will all learn the truth.  I’ve told you this hundreds of times before Mark, and now, I will tell it to you for the very last time… when you mess with this beauty, he’s gonna whoop your booty.

Billy looks straight into the camera as a very serious look fills his face.

Billy:  And Mark, this time it will be a whooping unlike you have ever experienced in your entire life.  This time, it will finally be the very end of this all.  I’ll see you at Blaze of Glory II.

As Billy continues to stare into the camera, all of the lights in the warehouse slowly turn off one by one, eventually leaving only the original one spotlight that was on Billy.  Billy continues to stare into the camera as it slowly fades, until finally it all goes to complete black.

« on: February 23, 2013, 09:10:09 PM »
 The scene opens up backstage at the Boys and Girls Club in Carson City, Nevada, sometime during this past week's edition of Climax Control.  Walking through the hallway is one of SCW's newest superstars, "Beautiful" Billy James.  As Billy walks around, he eventually comes up to one door in the backstage area and stops before it.  Billy has a quick knock on the door and a moment later the door opens to find someone that Billy would not be expected to be seeking out, Synn.  Synn looks Billy up and down rather inquisitively before speaking.

Synn:  Can I help you with something?

Billy:  Hey Synn, how's it going?  Funny thing, while we've spent a lot of time around some of the same people, I don't think we've ever been formally introduced.

Billy extends his hand out for a handshake, but Synn simply looks down at Billy's outstretched hand and back up at him without saying a word, still looking as if he seems a bit unsure about the situation.  Billy slowly pulls his hand away.

Synn:  Again I ask, can I help you with something?

Billy:  Ok then.... is Shane here?

The expression on Synn's face change as the situation now seems to make a bit more sense to him.  Synn nods reassuringly as he responds.

Synn:  Hold on one second.

Next steps back inside of what is apparently the locker room of the Seven Deadly Sins, closing the door behind him.  Billy stands outside the door, tapping his foot as he waits until suddenly the door opens back up and standing on the other side is Shane Boswell.  Upon seeing Billy a smile comes across Shane's face.

Shane:  Hey Billy!  How's it going man?

Shane steps out of the locker room and the two men share a quick handshake before embracing in a hug before both stepping back.

Billy:  Good man, how have you been?

Shane:  Not too bad, you know how it is around here.

Billy:  That I do.  Speaking of which, thanks again for your help the other week during my match with Nick Jones.

Shane:  Not a problem man, glad to help out.

As Shane responds, he notices Billy has been giving him a bit of a peculiar look this entire time, which finally catches Shane's attention and seems to make him a little uneasy.

Shane:  What's with that look?

Billy doesn't respond, but instead look at Shane even more intently.  Billy then suddenly raises his hand and starts to slowly waive it back in forth in front of Shane's face before Shane eventually slaps it away.

Shane:  Seriously man, what is wrong with you?

Billy looks at Shane for a few more moments, tapping his chin for a moment, before quietly mumbling, seeming to mostly be talking to himself as opposed to Shane.

Billy:  I can't believe it.  Jordan was actually right?

It seems Shane's frustration is beginning to mount as he quickly snaps back at Billy.

Shane:  Right about what?!?

Billy speaks up this time, clearly addressing Shane directly.

Billy:  You're sober, aren't you?

Shane cannot help but laugh as he suddenly realizes what this is all about.  He eventually manages to respond through his laughter.

Shane:  I most certainly am.

Billy:  Wow, never thought I would see the day.

Shane:  I have been sober a time or two before you know.

Billy:  Not that I have ever seen.

Shane:  That's because every time you see me I'm around that idiot cousin of mine.

Billy:  Ah, so he's the problem, is that it?

Shane:  I can't exactly blame it all on him, but he's certainly not the greatest of influences either.  I will say it is nice to get a break from all of those antics every now and then.

Billy:  I wouldn't get too comfortable about that.

Shane:  What is that supposed to mean?

Billy:  Don't worry about it.  Anyway, back to the reason I'm here.

Shane:  Right... what's up?

Billy:  As you may or may not have heard, I've got a match coming up at Blaze of Glory II.

Shane chuckles and scratches his chin for a moment, acting as though he is thinking it over before responding.

Shane:  You know, I think I may have heard a thing or two about that.

Billy:  Oh ok, I wasn't sure.  You know, it's know big deal or another, just like any other match.

Shane:  I'm not so sure the SCW staff would agree with that one.

Billy:  I suppose at least one of them might be taking it a little bit seriously.

Shane:  Well yeah, but that's not what I was talking about.  Rumor has it you and ole Hot Stuff are going to be headlining.

A look of shock comes across Billy's face.

Billy:  You're kidding me, right?

Shane:  No joke man, that's what they're saying.

Billy:  Wow, did not expect that.  That's kind of crazy.

Shane:  That it is.  So you really better make sure now you don't get embarrassed out there.

Billy:  Which brings me back to why I'm here.

Shane:  Right, the match.

Billy:  Yeah, and as I'm sure you heard, Jordan wants no part in any of this.  As it is he's tried to keep the match from even happening.

Shane:  Yeah, talk about your futile efforts.

Billy:  You're not kidding.  So anyway, it's been a while for me so I've been working extra hard to get back into ring shape, so I need a training partner.  Jordan's been working with me the past few weeks, but that's not going to happen anymore with my next match being up against Mark.  So I was wondering if you'd be up for helping me out.

Shane:  I'm not exactly an active wrestler myself these days.

Billy:  Maybe not, but I know you.  You look to be in fine ring shape and you've been hanging around the business for all these years, while I was completely gone.  Plus I'm sure you've been helping out some of the guys in Seven Deadly Sins by working with them, right?

Shane:  Yeah, of course.

Billy:  Those guys sure seem to be doing well for themselves with your help.  Plus who else am I going to go to?  I think you and Jordan may be the only guys in this company who know me and would have any interest in helping out.  Mark and Nick aren't exactly my best of friends and while I've got no particular issues with them, guys like Spike and Tom could care less about me I'm sure.

Shane:  Fair enough.  Yeah sure, I'd be glad to help.  Give me a call later in the week and we'll meet up, alright?

Billy:  Sounds good.  Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Shane:  No problem man... anytime.

Shane and Billy give a quick handshake and back slap before Shane walks back into the locker room and Billy heads on down the hall as the scene cuts away.




The scene fades back in to a few days later, inside of a small gym which has a wrestling ring placed right in the center of it.  It appears that the action has already been missed, as inside of the ring, both Billy James and Shane Boswell are seen and furthermore, all laid out across the mat, both looking exhausted and much worse for wear.  After a few moments of both men laying there and trying to catch their breath, Billy props himself up on his elbows, causing his upper body to barely be lifted up off of the mat as he looks over to Shane.

Billy:  You know what?  I liked it a lot better last week when it was me and Jordan.

Shane tries to sit up, but after a slight effort that leads to a failed attempt, he then instead opts to roll over into his stomach, making it far easier to look back at Billy.

Shane:  Yeah, I liked it better too.  That’s probably because I wasn’t here.  What makes you like it so much better?

Billy:  Simple really.  With Jordan, he and I spent the entire time reversing each other and countering moves.  We were flipping and flying around all over the place, but neither of us really landed much of a move to speak of.  You know, as opposed to the two of us spending the past twenty minutes beating the living crap out of each other.  It was a good workout and it hurt a lot less.  So like I said, I liked it a lot better.

Shane:  Yeah?  Well too late for that now.  I also liked it a lot better when the people I were helping to train was a kid more interesting in playing with his teddy bear than fighting me and a freakin’ magician.

Billy:  Really?  Those two hardly strike me as the most calm of in-ring competitors.  They’re certainly no joke as far as wrestling talent goes.

Shane:  I’m not arguing with you there, trust me.  I’m just saying, those two were at least nice enough to not beat away on me the entire time.

Billy:  Hey, you were the first one to throw that stiff right hand.

Shane:  It was right after you had cracked me in the back of the head with that kick!

Billy:  It wasn’t on purpose, you leaned into you idiot.

Shane:  Me?  Maybe if you had trained at all in the past 8 years you’d remember how to ease off a bit when swinging those legs around.

Billy:  Oh shut up, you’re fine.  Man up already.

Shane:  Whatever you say old-timer.

At that point, Shane waves his arms at Billy, dismissing his comments as he then rolls back over onto his back.  Shane then sits up and as soon as he does, suddenly a rush of blood comes flowing from out of his nose, going all over the place.  Shane immediately grabs his nose and leans his head backwards in order to keep it from continuing on.

Shane:  And THIS is why you don’t dropkick your training partner in the face!!

Billy:  Yeah, sorry about that.  I got a little overzealous there.  Let me go grab you something to take care of that.

Billy rolls over onto his stomach and then uses his arms to push himself up onto his knees.  Billy then proceeds to climb up to his feet, but just as he pulls his hands up off of the mat and shifts all of his weight to his legs, his legs quickly give out and he crumbles back down to the mat in a heap, clutching his right knee in pain in the process.

Billy:  Or maybe not.  And THAT is why you don’t clip the knee of your training partner!  And unlike you, I actually have to wrestle in a match you know.

Shane:  Right… my bad.  How about we just lay here for a while longer and try again later?

Billy:  Sounds good to me.

Shane and Billy both lay back down flat on the mat as they each clutch onto their respective injuries.  At that point, the sound of a familiar female’s voice is then heard chiming in from off-camera.

Voice:  How about you two sit tight, and we’ll go grab some things to help take care of that for you boys?

Both Billy and Shane turn and look out to the ringside area, as the camera shot pans out, to show their respective ladies, Kristen and Fantasia standing next to the ring.  They both seem to be a little caught off guard by the situation.

Billy:  Oh yeah, I forgot you two were there.

Shane:  Yeah, who would have thought those two were capable of being so quiet.

Shane and Billy share a round of laughs and even go to high five one another, but as they raise their arms both men realize they are in too much pain to bother to move any closer, causing them to both stop trying and put an end to their laughter.

Fantasia:  What a real riot you are.

Kristen:  I guess they don’t need our help them.  Come on, let’s get out of here.

Billy:  Wait!

Shane:  Yes, please wait.  We’re sorry.

Billy:  We?  It was your joke, putz.

Shane:  You seemed to be quite amused by it too, little man.

Kristen:  Oh, will you two shut up already?

Billy:  Right, sorry.  Listen, if you guys could grab that stuff for us, that would be great.  We would have asked you sooner but like I said, we kind of forgot you were there.

Kristen:  Must be all of that brain damage you two gave each other while working out in that ring.

Fantasia:  Nah, that already had all of that brain damage.

Fantasia and Kristen both let out some loud laughs as Billy and Shane scowl over at their women from their positions barely leaning up on the mat.

Shane:  Oh, I see how it is.  So it’s alright for you two to make whatever cracks you want, but what I said was completely out of line, huh?

Fantasia:  The difference is we don’t need anything from you.

Kristen:  Exactly, we’re the ones doing you two the favors, so we can get away with it.

Billy:  What’s to say the two of us couldn’t decide to keep from you… um…

Before Billy can even finish his thought, Kristen is quick to interrupt.

Kristen:  Hate to break it to you honey, but the only things you two could keep away from the two of us, you would miss a whole lot more than we would.

Shane turns his head just slightly enough to be able to look over towards Billy.

Shane:  She kind of has a point there you know.

Billy:  I know that, but you don’t tell them that.

Fantasia:  Trust us, we already knew.

Billy:  Fine, fine.  Would you lovely ladies please do us the honor of helping us out and go grabbing some stuff from the back to take care of all of this?

Kristen:  That’s more like it.  What do you guys need?

Billy:  A few ice packs and something to clean up the nose of bleedy boy over here.

Fantasia:  Ok, we’ll be right back.  Try not to miss us too much.

Shane:  I’m sure we’ll survive.

Fantasia looks over at Shane seeming rather displeased, as Shane’s last comment was clearly dripping with sarcasm.  Seeing Fantasia’s expression, Shane is quick to flash an innocent smile in her direction.

Shane:  Sorry babe.

With that, neither Kristen nor Fantasia say another word as they turn and walk off, heading towards the back.  As the two of them leave the main gym area to head back into the training area, the men sit in the ring silently, waiting for the ladies to be out of earshot before continuing on.

Shane:  Did you seriously forget they were standing there?

Billy:  Of course not, but when I looked over at them, they both seemed rather annoyed that we had been ignoring them.  I figure they better think we are idiots than that we were ignoring them.

Shane:  I guess you have a point there.  Still found it a bit odd to say that though.

Billy:  I didn’t see you in any big rush to argue with me or claim you hadn’t forgotten.

Shane:  I’m no idiot.  I figure let you take the fall for the forgetting and wait to see how they reacted.  If they got pissed about it, at that point I could point out that I never said that I forgot.

Billy:  Ok, well when they get back, I’ll be sure to let Fantasia know that you were intentionally ignoring her.

Shane looks at Billy seeming rather annoyed as they both lay there quietly for a few moments before Shane speaks up again.

Shane:  You know what?

Billy:  What?

Shane:  Now I’m glad I took our your knee.

Billy:  You’re a good friend, Shane.

Shane:  Don’t I know it.

The two men burst into laughter at their last exchange.  Eventually the two settle down and, as Kristen and Fantasia return to the gym area, they both go over to the ropes and pull themselves up into a seated position, leaning back against them to help prop themselves up.  However, in a surprising twist, right after the two women walk back out into the gym, they are closely followed behind by SCW Reporter “Stoner” Scott Oliver.  While the two women try to ignore him, Scott can be heard continuing on as he follows behind them.

Scott:  Hey ladies, how about you two take a ride back with me, smoke chronic and then the three of us can do it like rabbits.  Snoogins.

Kristen:  Yeah, we’ll have to pass.

Scott:  Is that problem that it’s just me?  I got this hetero-lifemate who would totally be down to join us.  He ain’t talk much, but lunchbox knows how to treat a lady.

Fantasia:  That’s great, but it’s really not helping your cause.

As they continue to stay ahead of Scott, the two women come up to the ring apron and start to pass the ice packs, wraps and other assorted items they brought for Billy and Shane, all the while never actually looking back at Scott.  Scott, seemingly oblivious to the presence of Billy and Shane, continues on talking to the ladies.

Scott:  Come on ladies, either of you ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?

For the very first time, Kristen and Fantasia both turn to look back at Scott, as they each have looks of complete disgust painted across their faces.  These comments also seem to be enough to finally get Billy and Shane to their feet by pulling themselves up using the ropes.  The two men then lean forward on the top rope, as Billy very loudly clears his throat in an attempt to gain Scott’s attention.  As it quite clearly fails, Billy immediately calls out towards Scott.

Billy:  Hey buddy, those ladies you are talking to there are already taken.

Scott:  Yeah?  Well I ain’t see no guys of theirs here now and they ain’t say nothing about that to me.  You know what that means they’re doing for something freaky, right?  BONG!

Billy and Shane stand there and simply stare at Scott intently, not saying a word, until it suddenly seems to click with Scott, who immediately becomes a bit more low-key.

Scott:  Oh, right.  Sorry guys.  How about a little piece-offering?

Scott pulls out a lighter and then starts patting his pockets looking for something, but before he can find what he’s looking for, Billy is quick to interrupt.

Billy:  We’ll pass…

Shane:  We will?

Billy looks over at Shane and glares at him.

Billy:  Yes.

Billy then turns his attention back to Scott.

Billy:  But do you care to tell us what exactly is it you’re doing here?

Scott:  Oh yeah, I was sent here to interview someone… or something.  I’m an SCW interviewer you know.

Billy:  I’m well aware, although God only knows why.

Scott:  Me and her are pretty cool.  She’s pretty hot, ya know.  Totally kissed me.

Billy:  What are you babbling about you burnout?

Scott:  God, what else?  Anyway, I think you’re the one I’m supposed to be interviewing.  Aren’t that um… “Beautiful” guy… Bobby Eaton or something?

Billy:  Billy James actually.

Scott:  Yeah, that’s the one.

Billy:  Ok, so what did you want to ask me?

Scott:  I was wondering, what’s the deal with your women?  You guys cool with a little swinging action?

Billy:  First off… no.  Secondly, I meant what questions did you have for me for the interview.

Scott:  Oh yeah, the interview.  So um… what’s the deal with you and that dude you’re supposed to be facing.  What’s his name again?

Shane quickly interjects into the conversation.

Shane:  You do realize that’s your boss you’re talking about right?

Scott looks at Shane seeming rather confused before looking back over to Billy.

Scott:  You’re my boss?  Since when?

Billy:  Not me you idiot.

Scott:  But this dude said you were.

Shane:  Not him!  His opponent!

Scott:  Oh, who’s his opponent?

Billy:  Hot Stuff Mark Ward.

Scott:  You’re facing Hot Stuff?  No way!  Hey, did you guys know that he’s my boss?

Shane:  Oh you have got to be kidding me.

Scott:  Seriously dude, I totally work for him.

Billy:  Yeah great, listen we have got to run.  Let’s do this again sometimes.

Scott:  Alright man, thanks for the great interview.

Billy:  Whatever you say.

Scott:  And don’t forget to make sure you bring the ladies again next time.  Snoogans.

Shane:  Yeah, great.  Bye!

Scott turns and walks off, heading off to leave the gym.  However, it takes him a while, as Scott first heads off in the wrong direction and first ends up opening a closet door, before heading into the women’s locker room.  As some screams are heard, Scott comes stumbling out there after a few seconds holding the side of his face, before eventually finding his way and stumbling out the door the gym.  The entire time, the other four all stand around watching this scene, laughing along at the unbelievable sights before them.  As Scott finally leaves, Shane is quick to comment.

Shane:  That certainly was… special, wasn’t it?

Billy:  I think that was even more exhausting than our training session.

Shane:  It certainly caused more of that brain damage stuff the girls were talking about.

Fantasia:  And that’s saying something.

Kristen:  No kidding.  That training was painful to watch and even I was more happy to see that stoner leave than for you guys to finish fighting.

Billy:  I’m not quite sure how to take that.

Shane:  That doesn’t sound great, but you can’t really blame her, can you?

Billy:  I guess not.  Now as far as us being done training, first off, let me just say thanks again.  But also, why don’t you let me take you out for a couple of drinks?  You know, as a proper thank you.

Shane:  I don’t know man, it’s been a long day already.

Billy:  I know, but I feel like I have to do something.  Sure we both beat on each other but in my case this was a great preparation for my match.  For you?  You just got to sit there and get beat on.  I have to do something for you in return.

Shane:  Alright fine.  At least let me take a shower and get changed first.

Billy:  Of course, you think I was going to be seen in public with you looking and worse yet, smelling, like this?

Shane:  You’re a real funny guy, Billy.

Billy:  Don’t I know it.  Besides, you’ve still got to clean all of that dried blood on your face.

Shane:  While I do that, maybe you can clean all of that sand out of your vagina.

Billy:  Whoa, look at this guy.  Coming out with the high school humor now.  You got me there!

Shane:  Says the guy who was making fun of how I smell.  Listen, just give me like 20 minutes and I’ll be ready to roll.  You ladies just going to hang around here until we’re ready to go?

Fantasia opens her moth to respond, but is cut off as Kristen is quick to jump in.

Kristen:  Actually, we’re not going?

Fantasia seems confused by Kristen’s quick response.

Fantasia:  We’re not?

Kristen:  No, we’re not.  We have, um… other plans, remember?

Kristen then leans closely towards Fantasia and whispers to her.

Kristen:  Trust me, you don’t want to go.  I’ll explain later.

Fantasia nods to Kristen before turning and looking back at Shane.

Fantasia:  Oh right, I forgot.  We already have plans for some “girl time”?  You know how it is, it’s so hard to have that with you big lugs around all the time.

Shane:  Oh ok, that’s fine… I guess.  Are you girls sure?

Kristen:  Yep, absolutely sure.  You boys have fun.

Shane:  Ok then, if you insist.  I guess we’ll see you girls later then.

Fantasia:  See you later!

Shane and Billy both climb out of the ring and Shane and Fantasia gives each other a quick kiss goodbye as Billy smiles at Kristen and gives her a big thumbs up, making it clear that there is something else obviously going on here.  Billy and Shane then both head back to the locker room area as the scene slowly fades.




The scene opens up outside of some small, local little dive bar somewhere in the Las Vegas area.  Now having gotten showered and changed, we see “Beautiful” Billy James and Shane Boswell approaching the front door as the carry on a conversation.

Shane:  I still don’t get that was all about.

Billy:  What are you talking about?

Shane:  The girls.  They were acting so strange when we left.  I don’t know why they didn’t want to join us.

Billy stops short just before they walk in the front door, causing Shane to stop and look at him curiously.

Billy:  I have a confession to make.

Shane:  Uh oh, what is it?  Spill the beans.

Billy:  I am the reason to ladies didn’t want to join us.

Shane:  Oh great, what did you do to piss off Kristen this time.  You two are married now, you need to be more careful about all of that nonsense these days.

Billy:  No no, nothing like that.  They didn’t want to join us because I told Kristen not to.

Shane:  What?  Why would you do that?

Billy:  I had a good reason trust me, and once I told Kristen my plans for this evening, she couldn’t possibly have agreed with me more.

Shane:  I don’t like the sounds of that one bit.  What exactly do you have planned?

Billy:  Well… I think it’s easier to just show you than try to explain.

Shane:  Show me what?

Billy reaches over and grabs the handle to the front door the bar and opens it up, holding it open for Shane as he puts his arm out, pointing Shane inside.

Billy:  After you.

Shane looks at Billy suspiciously as he is very hesitant to go into the bar, very slowly walking towards it.

Shane:  I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Billy flashes Shane a big smile at which point Shane simply shakes his head at Billy.  Shane finally concedes and walks into the door of the bar, followed closely behind by Billy.  As the two walk in, things start to become a little clearer as sitting in the very first stool at the bar sits a very familiar man, none other than Shane’s cousin and partner in the undefeated tag team of Life of the Party, Matt Grove.  Matt seems to quite clearly already be a few drinks deep, as he sees the two men enter and quickly hops off of his bar stool, nearly falling over in the process.  Shane and Billy walk over towards Matt as his face lights up and he puts his arms out in excitement.

Shane:  Hey Matt, how’s it going?

Matt:  Dude.

Shane:  What?

Matt:  DUDE!!!

Shane:  Oh, shut up.

Shane looks rather annoyed with his drunken cousin and gives him a light push in the chest to get him a little bit away from him, but given Matt’s drunken state, the shove causes him to go stumbling backwards.  Matt ends up falling right back into his bar stool and ultimately fall backwards right over into it and goes crashing door the bar’s floor.  Matt bursts into hysterical laughter from his place on the floor as Shane looks at Billy rather unamused.

Shane:  This was your big surprise?  My drunken idiot of a cousin?

Billy:  Now you know how the rest of us always used to feel back in the old days when you were both always like this.

Shane thinks about Billy’s comment before looking down at his cousin and seeing him flailing around on the floor, which can’t help but bring a laugh out of Shane.

Shane:  It is kind of funny though.

Billy:  That it is, why do you think we kept you clowns around?

Shane:  Because we dominated the tag team division?

Billy:  Yeah sure, that was it.  Tag Team wrestling was always our biggest concern.

Shane:  Ah whatever, let’s just help this idiot up or he’ll be laying there for the rest of the night.

Billy and Shane both bend down and each grab an arm of Matt’s pulling him up to his feet.  Matt then takes a seat at the bar as Billy and Shane both join him, ordering a couple of beers for themselves as the bartender passes by.

Billy:  Get us a couple of Bud Lights to start.  And open up a tab, we’re going to be here a while.

Billy pulls out his wallet and takes out a credit card, handing it over to the bartender.

Bartender:  You got it buddy.

The bartender quickly grabs a couple of beers from under the bar and pops them open, setting on down in front of each of Billy and Shane as he then walks off to go open up the tab.  Shane then looks over at Billy from their seats at the bar.

Shane:  I must say, I’m a bit disappointed in you Billy.  I expected more.  While I can understand why the ladies wouldn’t want to be a part of this mess, you made it out like it was some sort of big surprise I would never see coming.  Going out and drinking with Matt is hardly something new and different for us.  I’ve only done it, oh, a few thousand times in my life before.

Billy:  Have a little patience my friend, this is only the beginning.  Actually, I think we better move ourselves over to one of the tables.

Shane:  Really, why?

Billy:  There’s more room at the tables.

Shane:  No kidding, but why do we need more room for the three of us to drink?

Billy:  We wouldn’t if it were just the three of us drinking.

Billy grins at Shane before getting up from his bar stool and starting to walk over to the table.  Shane quickly gets up from his seat and follows Billy as he tries to figure out what’s going on, as Matt does his best stumble after the two of them.

Shane:  What are you talking about?  Who else is coming?  The rest of SCW who knows you aren’t exactly your biggest fans you know, that’s why you came to me for help training in the first place.

Billy:  Oh Shane, you’ll see soon enough.  Trust me, you’ll be happy with our other guests.  I promise you that.

Shane:  Who?!?

As the conversation is ongoing, all three of them take a seat down at the table.  Before Billy can respond to Shane’s last question, a familiar voice is heard coming from the direction of the bar door, which is now behind where Shane is sitting.

Voice:  I hope I’m not late.

Billy:  Nope, just in time.  Shane, I believe you two know each other.

Billy points towards the door as Shane turns around to see, standing in the doorway, the familiar face of Jordan Williams.  Shane gets up from his seat with a big smile on his face as Jordan walks over.  The two men shakes hands as Jordan takes a seat at the table.

Shane:  Good to see you man, certainly wouldn’t have expected you.  I thought you had Billy you weren’t getting involved in anything with either him or, well you know, the other guy, in these next couple of weeks.

Jordan:  I told him I wouldn’t help him get prepared for his match against Mark, but I never said anything about grabbing a few drinks.  No way I was going to turn down this opportunity.

Shane:  Why?  Because drinking with me and Matt is such an unusual occurrence that nobody can resist the temptation?

Jordan lets out a laugh before responding.

Jordan:  No offense Shane, but this didn’t have a whole lot to do with you and Matt.

Matt, seeming to just notice a different voice saying his name, suddenly looks up from his drink and appears to notice Jordan for the very first time.

Matt:  Oh, hey Jordan!

Jordan:  Hey Matt, what’s up?

Matt:  Drinking.

Jordan:  So I can see.  Nice to see you’re changing things up a bit.

Jordan chuckles as Matt seems confused, before turning back to his conversation with Shane.

Jordan:  Like I said, no offense, but come on.

Shane:  Ok fine, so if you’re not here to hang out with us then why are you here?

Jordan:  It’s not so much about any particular individuals as it’s about the group.

Billy:  Exactly, it’s all about getting the gang back together.

Matt:  Yeah!  And drinking with them!

Shane:  That’s great and all, but in case you haven’t notice, we’re still quite a few people short of having the whole “gang” together you know.

Billy:  Oh really?  We hadn’t noticed.

Jordan:  Yeah, it sure would be great if we could get all of those guys back, wouldn’t it?

Billy:  Sure would, but it would be impossible to track them down.

Voice:  Yeah, where are there rest of those guys these days anyway?

A big smile comes across Billy’s face as the rest of the group seems confused by the voice they just suddenly heard.  At that moment, coming from behind them, someone squats down between the two seats currently occupied by Jordan and Shane.  The person turns out to be none other than another of these men’s former GCW stablemates, Edge.  All four of the men seated at the table immediately hop up out of their seats to say hello.

Jordan:  Wow, great to see you man

Edge:  Thanks, great seeing all of you guys too.

Shane:  Seriously.  This is great, but how did you end up knowing about this?

Edge:  Billy tracked me down.  Told me he wanted to try to get as much of the old crew together as possible.

Billy:  It really is amazing that you made it out man.  I thought I would never see you again.

Edge:  Couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Matt:  Hi Edge!

Edge:  Hey Matt!

Matt goes to high five Edge, but completely misses and nearly falls over in the process, but manages to land back down in his seat.  All of Edge, Shane, Jordan and Billy then take seats at the table again as well.

Shane:  Alright Billy, credit where it’s due.  I’m impressed.  Granted I’m sure it would have been impossible to get everyone together, but this is a pretty awesome group we’ve got here already.  Anyone else coming?

Billy:  Truth be told, I thought Paul would already be here.

Paul:  I am here, you idiots.

Everyone turns around and all looked shocked, including Billy, to see another former teammate of theirs walking over to the table, “Irresistible” Paul Breland.  Interestingly enough, Paul heads over to the table from the opposite side of the bar and quickly waves everyone off from everyone getting up to greet him and takes one of the seats at the table.

Shane:  Where did you just come from?

Paul:  I’ve been here this whole, long before any of the rest of you got here.

Billy:  What are you talking about?  When Shane and I got here Matt was the only person in the whole bar.

Paul:  Wait, you mean Matt didn’t tell you?

Paul turns and looks towards Matt and shakes his head at him, while Matt seems unsure of what he did, or rather didn’t do.

Matt:  What?

Paul goes to say something, but Shane quickly cuts in with a comment to Matt.

Shane:  I thought that was supposed to be my line.

Matt:  Huh?

Shane:  Forget it.  Paul… you were saying?

Paul:  I was saying that I was here drinking with Matt.  I just went to go and hit the bathroom, didn’t Matt tell you guys?

Matt looks confused as he seems to be thinking things over until his face suddenly lights up.

Matt:  Oh yeah!

Matt turns his attention to the rest of the group at the table.

Matt:  Hey guys, just so you know, Paul is already here.  He just had to go the bathroom.

Everyone at the table looks completely dumbfounded by Matt’s drunken idiocy, with a number of his friends simply shaking their head at Matt while Shane puts his hands down in his face and lets out a groan.  Billy breaks the awkward silence that follows by putting his hand up to wave down the bartender.

Billy:  A round for the table!

Billy turns back to the group as they continue on with conversations of catching up with each other, as it has been quite some time since they were all together, as the bartender brings a round of drinks for the table.  They all start drinking, at varying sppeds as the carry on with their conversations.

Billy:  So how long has it really been?

Paul:  Well there was that GCW revival back in what, 2006 was it?

Edge:  Oh yeah, I forgot all about that.

Jordan:  I think that’s what they were hoping for.

Shane:  No kidding.  That did not go particularly well.

Matt:  Yeah!  What he said!

Edge:  Does he even have a clue what we’re talking about?

Matt:  Of course, the GCW revival.  That’s when Shane and I got to have our SECOND undefeated title reign as GCW Tag Team Champions.  WHOOOO YEAH!!  Alright, who’s ready for another beer?  I got this round?

The entire table looks on in shock as they have barely gotten through any of their current beer while Matt has already polished his off.  He stands up and looks around at the table and after getting no response, shrugs and heads over to the bar to buy his next beer.

Jordan:  I’m impressed.

Billy:  By Matt’s drinking?  Guess you don’t remember him all that well, huh?

Jordan:  No, not that.  I’m impressed he actually remembered about that last run of GCW.

Shane:  You’d be surprised.  As much as he acts like a complete moron, he actually seems to be quite aware of going on around him when he’s plastered.  I mean think about it, we had two reigns as undefeated champions and I think we were black out drunk for every single match we had.

Paul:  Half the time I was shocked you guys even managed to find your way down to the ring, never mind actually winning a match.

Shane:  When you drink as much as we did, you start to kind of get used to it, and just do things as a form of habit.

Edge:  Like winning matches?

Matt:  Exactly!

The group sees Matt returning to the bar just in time to chime in, as he has two beers in his hand.  Matt sets one down in front of him and slides the second across the table towards Shane.  Shane looks at the bottle, then down to the one he was currently drinking, which is still half full, before looking back at Matt.

Shane:  I didn’t ask for a beer.

Matt:  I know, but you looked like you needed another one.  You’re way too sober, and you’re kind of cranky when sober.

Shane:  Yeah, whatever.

Shane seems a little annoyed, but apparently doesn’t let that stop him as he proceeds to pound his first beer and push the empty bottle out of the way before moving onto the second one.  Paul looks over at Shane and laughs at the sight of him being so easily pressured by his cousin.

Paul:  I still can’t believe these two nitwits seriously had the record that they did.

Shane:  Never lost a match together.  Choke on that Pauly-boy.

Billy:  Yeah, but you guys didn’t have quite as impressive singles records if I do recall.

Shane:  I still had myself a very successful career without my idiot cousin.  Who would have thought I might have been better off staying drunk though.

Billy:  Well Matt gave that a try and we all saw how that worked out for him.

Matt:  What’s that supposed to mean?

Billy:  It means that your singles career lasted about 5 minutes, and it sucked.

Matt:  Nuh uh!

Billy:  Dude, when Shane left GCW after just a couple of matches you came running to my to form a new tag team with you.  We did that for a little while until I decided I needed to go with singles matches again, at which you point lost a few more matches on your own before Shane come back.

Matt:  Oh yeah… that.  Well, I was still an awesome tag team wrestler, so shut up!  Who needs another beer?

Matt stands up and tosses aside another empty bottle as everyone looks at him blankly, as they are all still finishing up the last round Billy ordered for them.  Matt then turns and looks directly at Shane, expecting some sort of reaction from him.

Shane:  None for me.

Matt:  One for you?  Got it!

Shane:  No, I said...

Shane’s words drift off as he realizes it is too late, as Matt has already stumbled his way back over to the bar for the next round.  Shane then turns his attention back to Billy.

Shane:  He’s right you know, our tag team success is unmatched.  Where do you get off running your mouth?

Billy:  Oh yeah, I definitely can’t think of any other tag teams in GCW who were undefeated as a team and as tag team champions.  How about you Jordan, can you think of one?

Jordan:  Yeah, that’s a tough one.  I think there was another one, wasn’t there?

Billy:  That does sound vaguely familiar.  You remember the team’s name by any chance.

Jordan:  Wasn’t it something like, Perfect Dynasty, or something like that?

Billy:  You’re right, that’s it!  Who was in that?  I can’t remember.

Jordan:  Hmmm, let me think.  Wait a second, weren’t you one of the members?

Billy:  That’s right, I was!

Jordan:  I can’t put my finger on it though, who was the other one?

Billy:  Hold on, wasn’t that you?

Jordan:  I’ll be damned, it was me!

Billy and Jordan both look back at Shane with big smiles on their face, as Shane seems rather unamused.  Both Paul and Edge are rolling their eyes as well at the back and forth between their friends.  At that point, Matt comes back to the table, putting one beer down in front of himself and the other in front of Shane.  Shane quickly pounds back the beer he already had and grabs the new one.

Matt:  So I was thinking, my singles career wasn’t really that bad, was it?  I’m asking, because I really don’t remember.

Billy:  It certainly wasn’t great.

Matt:  What makes it so much worse than your singles career?

The entire table laughs as Matt’s comment as he seems rather unsure of why.

Billy:  Do you mean other than my four World Heavyweight Championship reigns, two of them undefeated?

Matt:  Well… yeah!  Forget titles, just, you know, other stuff.

Billy:  How about the fact that I can count my career losses on one hand?

Jordan:  Too bad half of them were to your next opponent, huh?

The entire table lets out a loud set of “OOOOOOOO”s, as Billy turns toward Jordan as he gives him a bit of glare while not being able to help but chuckle in the process.

Jordan:  Just kidding buddy.

Billy:  I suppose it is true, but all I say is, I challenge you two find anyone who had a better record in GCW than I did.

Before any response can be heard, another familiar voice is heard off in the distance.

Voice:  Are you guys talking about me?  Must be, because my ears are burning.  I see you started without me, huh?

As Billy is the one facing the doorway, he is the first to look up and see the person and as he does, Billy’s jaw drops as a look of complete shock comes across his face.

Billy:  Holy shit!

The entire group turns around in their seats to look towards in the door and see that the person who’s voice they heard was none other than another former friend and stablemate, Adam Rich.

Billy:  I can’t believe this.  I mean, I called and invited you, but never heard back.  I didn’t even know if I had the right number.  Never in a million years did I actually expect you to show up.

Adam:  What can I say?  I wanted it to be a surprise.  As far as you guys seeing me again, well it was only a… matter of time.

The entire group groans as Adam’s joke references his wrestling finisher.  Adam grabs the last available seat at the table.

Adam:  Oh, and for those of you who weren’t paying attention, the answer to Billy’s little quiz about who had a better GCW record would be… me.

Billy:  Aw crap, I forgot about that.

Adam:  Don’t worry, I didn’t.

Billy:  Let’s get you a drink and try to change that.  Everyone looks ready for another round.  What about you two though?  You’re already a few rounds ahead of us.

Billy looks to Shane and Matt with his comment and just as he does, Matt finishes off his beer and slams the empty bottle down on the table.

Matt:  Count me in!

Billy:  How about you Shane?

Shane looks down at the beer bottle in his hand, which is still half full and seems to be thinking it over.  That is, until he looks up and sees Matt staring at him rather disapprovingly.

Shane:  Yeah, fine.  Grab me one too.

Billy:  Barkeep!  7 more!

Bartender:  You got it.

After a few moments, the bartender comes over with seven beers and passes them around the table before walking off.

Billy:  So who would have thought we would see this day, huh?

Adam:  A job well done Bill.

Paul:  Seriously.  Never would have expected to see you here in a million years Adam.

Adam:  No kidding, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen most of you.

Billy:  And yet, now we’ve got everyone back together.

Edge:  Not technically everybody you know.

Billy:  Can we not start with this?

Jordan:  It’s no sweat guys.  As soon as I heard we were getting the gang back together I gave Mark the heads up.  I figured they could put aside their differences for just one night with the old group, right?

Billy leers at Jordan, seeming to be not quite sure whether or not Jordan is joking.  Jordan looks back at Billy very seriously for quite a while, with both men simply staring at each other until Jordan finally cracks a smile.

Jordan:  Chill out, I’m just messing with you!

Billy:  You better be.  As far as I’m concerned, this covers absolutely everyone and everything.

Edge:  Even still, I would say there is one thing missing.

Billy:  What are you talking about?

Edge:  Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.

The rest of the group looks confused as Edge gets up from his seat and walks across the bar, eventually stopping at the jukebox.  After a few seconds of him fiddling around with it, suddenly the speakers in the bar come alive with “Nothin’ but a Good Time” by Poison, bringing smiles to all of the groups as Edge comes back and joins them again at the table.

Billy:  Very well done, now it’s like nothing ever changed.  Let’s have a drink gentlemen, to the good old days.

Billy raises up his beer, and each of the other six men quickly follow suit.

Billy:  To the Perfection Connection!

Everyone:  THE PERFECTION CONNECTION!!!

The group all clink their glasses together and take a drink of their beers before setting them back down on the table.  That is, except for Shane, who continues to pound his beer until there is no more and places it down at the table, standing up from his seat and looking around the table.

Shane:  Who needs another one?

Nobody responds as they have all just started on their new beers, while Matt looks down at his bottle and is shocked to see that it is still half full while Shane is already done.  He quickly looks up to Shane as he stumbles through his words.

Matt:  Um… yeah, sure… grab me one.

Shane walks off to grab the other beers as the rest of the group seems shocked.

Jordan:  Did we really just see Shane beat Matt on that beer and now Matt trying to keep up with him?

Adam:  Let the games begin.

Jordan:  Seriously, it like the two of them are drinking enough for the rest of us combined.

Billy:  Yeah, it’s a shame too, because I was hoping you’d be the one fall over drunk.

Jordan:  Why exactly is that?

Billy:  That way we could find out what the deal is with you and that Odette chick.

Jordan:  I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Billy:  Don’t give me that crap.  You’re all smitten with here.  It’s so cute.  We all know it.

Jordan:  I’m not sure where you’re getting this from man.

Billy:  Yeah, whatever. Good luck there with your “friend”.  Although I hate to have to break it for you, but she’s clearly got a thing for me.

Jordan looks rather annoyed by that last comment as Shane returns to the table with beers for himself and Matt.

Jordan:  Shut up man, just leave it alone.

Billy:  I’m serious.  You see the way she looks at me backstage.  Sorry man, it’s not my fault, it’s just women’s natural reaction to me.

Shane, now sounding much more like the drunken Shane known from his GCW days, is quick to jump in.

Shane:  Dude, aren’t you married?

Billy:  Yeah, so what’s your point?  I’m not saying that I’m doing to do anything

 Just like that, the feud between these two men became hotter than ever, and the fact that they were wrestling in separate companies was going to do nothing to stop them from getting at each other's throats.  Week after week, both men managed to work their way back and forth between goth GXW and GCW, each man trying to get one up on the other, until finally it was decided it was time for them to step back into the ring together.  One match each was booked in both GCW and GXW, and apparently home field advantage would mean nothing, as the first match saw Hot Stuff walk away as the victor in their GCW match, while Billy James would come back to take the victory in their second match, as they faced off in GXW in a falls count anywhere street fight in Mark's own hometown of London, England.  While these two men had faced off plenty of other teams, be it in non-sanctioned fights or bouts involving other wrestlers, at this point they had faced off in only 4 one-on-one matches, with each man scoring two victories a piece.  It was determined that it was time to put this all to an end, as there would be a rubber match to determine the true victor of this feud.  Unfortunately, the match never came to be, as both GCW and GXW closed their doors before it could ever happen.

However, as they old saying goes, good things come to those who wait.  Now years have passed by, but the hatred between these two men still burns strongly.  With Hot Stuff coming back into the wrestling world with his co-creation of Sin City Wrestling, and now Billy James returning to the ring, it was only a matter of time before this match came to be.  It is now finally time, as they two set to face off once again.  Given the history of this feud, it's impossible to know what to expect next.

 Benoit then shakes his head and walks away as he goes to look where he could best help his stablemates. It as at this time the ten count starts again for the very final participant. The countdown hits zero and the fans already start to explode into cheers, knowing exactly who is coming. "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison plays and the fans explode into cheers as GCW Chairman Jordan Williams comes running out fully dressed in his old ring attire. Jordan runs right down the ramp and comes flying in right through the door. As Benoit spots him coming, Benoit rushes to meet him and the two men end up face to face right as Jordan comes through the door. They both begin to trade right hands back and forth, fighting it out and the fans going absolutely wild to see exactly what they had been waiting to see. The two men fight back and forth when suddenly Jordan begins to gain the upper hand and sends Benoit reeling back from repeated shots. Then when suddenly Benoit stumbles a few steps back, Jordan takes one step forward and then nails the Sexy Sting on Benoit!! Jordan then slides right into the ring and as he slides in, he goes right after Damien Diamond, who is now beating on Mark as The Rock has gone to work on Billy on the outside. Jordan begins to pound away on Damien, beating the hell out of him as Jordan just pounds him right back into the corner and nail him with rapid fire rights, lefts and kicks. In the other ring, Matt and Malice are still fighting it out as Matt finally begins to gain the advantage. Matt then manages to back Malice up against the ropes and then clotheslines him over the top to the outside! As he does that, The Rock leaves Billy and slides right into the ring behind Matt, measuring him up. Matt then turns around and Rock grabs him and plants him right in the middle of the ring with Rock Bottom! Rock then pops up, grab Matt by the legs, locks him up and turns him over into the Sharpshooter!!

King: Everyone is here JR! This could be it!!

JR: You're right King, all 16 men are in the cage and that means the first submission will end this match. Could this be it?!?

Rock cranks the hold tightly on Matt, as Matt screams out in pain. Meanwhile, Mark pulls himself back up in the other ring and sees this going on. Mark then suddenly springboards off the top rope, right across to the other ring. He lands on the top ropes of the other ring, springboarding himself again and then coming off of the top and going right at Rock and catching him with a huge flying bulldog right on Rock, pulling him off of Matt and drilling him head first into the mat!! Matt then rolls out of the ring, when suddenly Richy Dudely comes sliding into the ring, in an attempt to escape from Billy James who is in hot pursuit right behind him. As Richy slides in, Billy slides in behind him and both men get to his feet. Richy ends up coming right at Mark unexpectedly and stops short just as Mark steps at him and goes for the Red Hot!! Richy realizes what's about to happen and drops down, causing Mark to clear right over Richy and ends up blasting Billy right in the face with the Red Hot!!!

JR: It looks like Mark Ward just accidentally blasted Billy James with the Red Hot!!

King: Accidentally, huh? I'm not too sure about that one JR.

JR: What are you trying to say?

King: Well these two have had problems lately, we'll just have to see how much of a mistake it really was.

Mark looks down at the completely laid-out Billy James, but hardly even reacts as he just shrugs it off and turns right back around to Richy. Richy reaches his feet and turns to face Mark and Mark then blasts him right in the chin with the Red Hot!! Mark then takes by Richy by the legs and begins to hook him up into the Climax Control!!! Meanwhile in the other ring, Jordan ducks behind a Damien clothesline attempt, hooks him up in a full nelson and nails him with the ATL Crusher! Jordan then goes to hook Damien up into his own submission, but he then sees Mark having Richy locked in and Christian trying to go in to break it up. Jordan charges and leaps right over the ropes, crashing down on Christian. Jordan then gets up and grabs a steel chair and slides right into the ring. As Mark has Richy locked in, who is screaming in pain, Jordan patrols the area with steel chair in hand. Leroy Evans leaps up onto the apron but Jordan spots him and quickly dispatches him with a quick chair shot across the head. Jordan continues to keep it all clear, keeping the Corporation from being able to help out when suddenly Richy Dudley taps out!!

JR: That's it! It's over... The Perfection Connection wins!!!

King: Noooo!! It can't be!

The bell rings loudly and the fans erupt into cheers, however GCW Commissioner Chris Benoit was in the middle of coming into the ring just as it happened and Jordan spots him. Jordan turns to him and as Benoit gets up, Jordan charges in and levels Benoit with a huge chair shot right across the top of the head of Benoit, laying him flat out. Jordan then suddenly freezes and drops the chair, staring down at Benoit with a bit of a look of shock on his face.

King: Did you see that?! Did you see it JR?!

JR: Yeah, I saw it King.

King: It's after the match, Jordan hit Benoit... he can't do that!

JR: Well... I didn't even think about that King. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. He sees Benoit charging in, the match had JUST ended, the adrenalin is pumping... I doubt anyone can fault him for that.

King: Well he should be faulted for that, he shouldn't be able to hit our Commissioner!

Jordan then eventually just shrugs it off, as the members of The Corporation all begin to clear out of the area. Rock grabs Benoit and pulls him out of the ring, as Maximum Damage both Jericho out of the wreckage of the table where he is still laid and the rest of the Corporation members help each other out as they all clear out of the ring. The eight members of The Corporation then all get piled into the same ring, although Billy is still laid out from that Red Hot from Mark. Adam, Jordan, Matt, Shane, Edge and Paul all rush Mark and lift him up onto their shoulders. They hold him up as he lifts his arms high up in the air, soaking in the cheers of the victory they just received over The Corporation. They then put Mark down and he leaps right up onto the turnbuckle to continue to celebrate his victory. Mark then calls back to the rest of PC and asks for a microphone, which they quickly recover and give to Mark as he hops down from the turnbuckle.

Mark: I said it and I did it! I said I would win this match and I did just that! I told you all that I would beat The Corporation and I did just that. All eight of those punks didn't stand a chance in hell against "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward. I hit that Red Hot, I locked in that Climax Control and that's all there was to it. You're looking at your winner right here!!

The fans are cheering loudly for this, while the members of PC are starting to look a little taken back and unhappy with what they hear Mark saying. It is at this time, Billy gets back up to his feet holding his jaw. Billy stumbles over to Mark and leans over his microphone and begins to speak.

Billy: What the hell is with you Mark? YOU won the match, huh? Are you kidding me? You've got some real problems Mark. And on top of that, I would like to know what that shit was over there. I've got Richy taken care of, and you blast me in the face with that god damn kick of yours.

Mark suddenly pulls the microphone right away from Billy.

Mark: What is MY problem? What's your problem, pal? Yeah, I won this match... that's right ME. So deal with it, you're not the big boy in PC anymore, so you've got to deal with it. I actually don't need to ask your problem, I already know it. You're jealous, plain and simple. Not like I could blame you. If I were you, I'd be jealous of me too. So how about stopping your bitching and just dealing with it, alright?

Billy just looks at Mark and shakes his head.

Billy: Look at you, look at the way you're acting, look at the way you've been acting. There's something wrong with you, pal... you really need help. Just forget it, I'm out of here. Enjoy "your" victory.

Billy just looks at Mark who flicks him off. Billy shrugs it off and goes to walk past Mark, but Mark clearly intentionally bumps right into Billy. Billy has finally had enough and gets right into the face of Mark. The two men stand nose to nose looking as if they are about to explode into a huge fight right there! Mark then suddenly pushes Billy back and Billy's eyes go wide as he can't believe it. Billy then goes right back at Mark and shoves him back as well. The two get into a shoving match and suddenly Billy gets pushed back hard and goes stumbling back. Adam grabs him and tries to hold him back to stop him. Billy instinctively swings around and just nails Adam with a stiff right, knocking him flat out to the mat. Billy looks down just realizing what he has done and he just stops in his tracks, with a clear look of sorrow on his face for what he just did. Billy then turns back around and just as he does Mark suddenly just blasts him right in the face with another Red Hot!!!

King: Did you see that? Haha! I love it!! I knew it!!

The crowd goes almost completely silent as there is just a gasp of the crowd as the can't believe what they've seen. Mark just stares down at Billy with a look of disgust on his face and then just spits right on the downed Billy. He then turns and as the rest of PC go to approach him, Mark just shoves the rest of them off and climbs out of the ring. Mark leaves the cell and walks up the steel ramp, not even looking back at what is going on. The rest of PC help Adam and Billy up as they watch Mark leaving, not believing what they just saw.

JR: Oh my God, King! What a night, what an absolutely insane night we've had here! That's all the time we've got... we'll see you for our next edition of Monday Mauling!!!

Character Building Roleplays / Hot Stuff Mark Ward and "Beautiful" Billy James
« on: February 17, 2013, 03:51:34 PM »
 JR: It's the time that these sixteen men put YEARS of hatred and fighting behind them as it all comes to an end here tonight, in our main event... in War Games!!!

The scene then cuts to a video package of all of the years of feuding between the Perfection Connection and The Corporation. It shows the early confrontations from when PC first arrived from ASFW and The Corporation from GPW as the two groups almost immediately got involved in one another. It moves on showing clips going through the years involving all the various big feuds and matches that occurred between the various members, such as Paul Breland's debut with The Corporation and subsequent turn to join PC, the World title activities involving Billy, Mark, then Corporation member Triple H and Damien Diamond over the course of some time. It then moves further into the future showing various members coming and going as people like Life of the Party joined PC and Richy joined The Corporation. It then looks at more recent times as PC and The Corporation constantly go involved with one another, leading up to tonight's War Games match. The final clips show recent brawls between both of the groups, which eventually fade out to the ringside area.

JR: This feud has boiled up to this point, that all of these men are looking to settle it right here and now.

King: There hasn't been a match like this in GCW in a long time, actually since it's been under the name GCW, there has NEVER been a War Games match.

JR: That's right King, the last time we saw this match was back in GPW when the Canadian Alliance made up of Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Edge, Christian and Bret Hart took on a group of GPW stars Jordan Williams, Grand Master Sexay, Scotty Too Hotty, Rikishi and Stone Cold Steve Austin!!

King: And now we have Jericho, Edge, Christian and Jordan all back again in this War Games match! Plus Benoit got involved on behalf of his Canadian Alliance stablemates last time and is now actually booked in the match this time as well!

JR: You've got that right, King. And while many years have gone by since there, you have to think that those five men may have an advantage here in this match, knowing how exactly War Games matches work.

King: Maybe JR, but there's only one thing that can determine whether or not that will actually be the case. And you know what that is?

JR: I sure do King, and that's to get this match started! Folks... it's main event time!!!

The fans begin to explode into cheers as the lights dim and spotlights appear on the War Games cell as well as the two rings, the second which had been erected during the video break. The War Games cell then slowly begins to descend. It makes it's way down slowly but surely, until it eventually comes down and reaches the ground, surrounding the two rings. The ring attendants then fasten it down and open up the cell door as they wait for their first entrants.

War Games Main Event Match


The Corporation
(Commissioner Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Damien Diamond, The Rock, Christian, Richy Dudely, Maximum Damage)
vs.
The Perfection Connection
(Chairman Jordan Williams, Adam Rich, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward, "Beautiful" Billy James, "Irresistible" Paul Breland, Edge, Life of the Party)


JR: Well folks, to let you know how this match works. There are two rings setup and there are two men who start off the match. Periodically another person will come out and enter the War Games cage to join into the match. The entrants will switch between each team until all eight men from each team, all sixteen men total have entered the ring. Once all sixteen men are in the ring, the match then continues until one of the match participants is able to someone from the other team. And in this match ONLY a submission is counted as a victory and once that submission is gained, the match is over.

King: That's right, JR. And to let all of our fans know, the order of entry as well as which team gets the first entrance was picked at random. On a coin toss, The Corporation has won the first entrant for this match and that should give them a nice little advantage during a good portion of this match.

JR: You're right about that King. And so let's get to our first two entrants to kick this thing off!

Richy Dudely comes out as the #1 entrant to a loud round of boos from the fans. Richy walks down the ramp and walks right in through the cell door and climbs into the first ring. Richy stands there and waits. Suddenly "It's My Life" plays and the fans erupt into cheers as one half of the tag team champion Life of the Party, Shane Boswell, walks or rather stumbles out onto the ramp with his title belt around his waist. Shane comes down the ramp and as he reaches the bottom, removes his title belt and hands it off to the referee who is at the door. Shane then walks through the door into the cell and the outside referee closes up the door behind him. Shane then climbs into the ring and stares straight across the ring at Richy.

JR: Well folks, this is it... Richy Dudely and Shane Boswell are here to start things off, there's no turning back now!

Richy and Shane circle each other a little bit, they are about to lockup, when suddenly Shane starts gagging. Shane looks as if he's about to be sick and Richy quickly reacts by putting his arms up and turning his head away in disgust. But suddenly Shane just stops, smile and shakes his head as it was clearly just a trick. He then charges in at Richy and just as Richy turns his head back to face Shane, Shane drills him down with a falling clothesline, which he follows up by cradling Richy by the back of the head and laying into his face with rapid fire right hands. Shane then picks Richy up and nails him with a few rights to back him against the ropes. Shane then irish whips Richy across the ring and as he comes back, Shane catches him with a big back body drop. Shane then runs to the ropes, bounces back and drops an elbow across the chest of Richy. Shane then gets back up and drops a knee across the forehead of Richy. He then drops down and hooks a leg for a cover, but the referee inside the cage quickly informs Shane that there are no pinfalls. Shane gets up, shaking his head at his own drunken stupidity as he gets back up to his feet. Shane then slides out of the ring and begins to go under the ring.

JR: What is Shane looking under the ring for?

King: What do you think? He's a cheater! He probably hid some sort of weapon or something under there!

It turns out Shane did indeed hide something under the ring, but not a weapon as Shane pulls out a six pack of beer to a huge ovation from the crowd! Shane pops opens one of the bottles and slams it down on the outside of the ring as Richy is getting back up inside. Shane polishes off the bottle and immediately just tosses it off to the side, almost hitting the referee with it as he tosses it away. Meanwhile, Richy gets up in the ring and as Shane goes to slide back in, Richy drops an elbow right across the back of Shane. Richy then pulls Shane up and pushes him back into the corner. Richy then begins to nail him with a few combination of punches before pulling him out of the corner with a hiptoss right into the center of the ring. Richy then goes over and grabs Shane and begins to pull him up. However, Shane quickly begins to fight Richy off with elbows to the gut. He then pushes Richy's arms from off of him and begins to nail Richy with right hands that send Richy stumbling back. Shane then gets him knocked back against the ropes and begins to pound on Richy repeatedly as Richy is leaned back up against the ropes. Then suddenly, a countdown suddenly appears, slowly counting down from 10 as the fans chant along with it. As the countdown goes, Shane takes Richy and whips him across the ring and as he bounces back, catches him and plants him right into the mat with a high impact spinebuster! Shane then gets up and looks up at the entrance just as the clock hits zero.

JR: Here comes #3!

King: I wonder who it is!

JR: Well we know it's someone from The Corporation, time to find out who.

"Hollywood" plays and the fans erupt into boos as Damien Diamond walks out into the arena, dressed up in his now typical designer suit with designer sunglasses on and accompanied by the entourage. Damien stops and puts his hands in order to have his entourage stop. He then turns to them and removes his sunglasses and suit jacket and hads it off to them. Damien then removes the rest of his various fancy clothes and accessories, revealing his wrestling attire. Meanwhile, in the ring, Shane was waiting for Damien, but sees Richy returning to his feet. Shane then goes back to Richy and the two men begin to trade off with punches. Meanwhile, Damien finishes up with getting down to his ring attire and then sends the entourage off to the back again. Damien then turns back around and heads down the ramp heading towards the cage. Damien walks down to the door and the referee opens it up and Damien stands in the doorway, watching for a moment. As Damien watches, Shane and Richy are fighting in the ring, but Shane suddenly blocks an attack attempt from Richy and gets in a solid kick to the gut and then drills him in the gut with a DDT! Shane then gets up and looks at Damien and then challenges him to get in the ring with him.

JR: Well it looks like for the first time ever as far as I know, we could see Shane Boswell and Damien Diamond go one on one here.

Damien walks up to the ring, but then walks by and just walks over to the second ring and climbs into that. He then looks over across at Shane and challenges Shane to come to him. Shane slides right out of the ring and hops right up onto the apron of the ring Damien is standing in. The two men stare down at each other, but meanwhile Richy rolls out of the other ring behind Shane and then nails him from behind, sending him tumbling over into the ring. Damien quickly takes advantage and charges over and begins to attack as Richy slides in as well. The two men begin to double team Shane, quickly taking him down and out before he was even able to get any offense in on Damien. The two then quickly pick him up and throw him into the corner, then both stomp away on him into the corner. They then pull him out, hook him up and take him over with a double suplex. Damien and Richy begin to talk something over and then Damien points up to the top rope then down at Shane. Richy nods in agreement and he walks over to where Shane is as Damien walks to the corner. Damien climbs up to the top rope as Richy begins to stomp away on Shane. Richy then drops down and grabs Shane by the arms to hold him down to the mat as Damien reaches the top rope. Damien then stands straight up on the top rope and begins to taunt both Shane and the crowd. Damien then comes off the top rope with the Hollywood Glitz! However, as Damien comes off the top rope Shane pulls himself out of the way and at the same time uses Richy's grab on his arms to pull Richy right into the way of where he was, causing Damien to come crashing down right onto his own stablemate Richy!!

King: AH! Oh no!

JR: What a counter by Shane! He just pulled Richy into the way of Damien's finisher!

Damien gets up and looks down at Richy not believing what he did as Shane stumbles back up to his feet. Damien then looks to Shane and the two men charge right at each other and begin to fight it out with trading right hands. Damien eventually gets an advantage though with a knee to the gut and then tosses Shane into the corner. Damien then stomps on Shane down to the mat and begins to choke Shane out with a foot across the throat. After a few moments of that, Damien then drops down and grabs him around the throat and begins to choke him. Damien then follows it up with stiff rights straight to the forehead of Shane before finally backing off and waiting for Shane to get up. Just as Shane reaches his feet Damien then charges back in at Shane, but Shane ducks out of the way and shoves him right into the corner. Shane then begins to just pound on him with rights and lefts drilling him back into the corner. Shane then irish whips across the ring, sending him crashing hard into the far corner and then tumbling out. Shane then rushes in and runs right over Damien with a big clothesline. Shane then purses Damien as he rolls across the ring to get away from Shane. Shane then bends over to pick Damien up, but as he does Richy gets up behind Shane and then Damien shoves Shane back. As Damien shoves Shane off, Shane is pushed right into Richy Dudely just as Richy gets back up. Richy quickly reacts and grabs Shane by the head and plants him right into the mat with the Dudely Cutter!

JR: This can't be good news for Shane. After already trying to fight the odds, Shane has just been laid out by the Dudely Cutter.

King: Well it's not good for Shane, but it also might not be ALL bad just yet. The numbers game is about to end because here comes the countdown again! 10.. 9.. 8.. 7... I wonder who it is?!

The countdown clock continues on, gaining the attention of both Richy Dudely and Damien Diamond. The two men watch it count down and as it hits zero the smiling expressions on their faces soon change as "Lay Your Hands on Me" begins to pump out through the arena PA system. The fans explode into cheers as "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward makes his way out onto the ramp with his ever-present cocky grin across his face. Mark then bolts down the ramp and as he does Damien points for Richy to go get him. Damien then goes back to work on Shane while Richy slides out of the ring and back into the first ring, just as the referee opens up the door and Mark comes running in through the cage door and sliding right into the first ring with Richy. Mark then gets right up to his feet and charges at Richy. Richy wildly swings with a clothesline attempt on Mark, but Mark ducks it and hits the opposite ropes. Richy spins around to face him, just in time for Mark to leap up across the ring and nailing Richy with a cross body block. Mark rolls off of him and gets up, as Richy stumbles back to his feet. Mark then charges at him and takes Richy down with a swinging neckbreaker. Mark then rolls out of the ring, leaps up onto the apron of the other ring with Damien standing on it and then leaps over the ropes into the ring. Mark charges at Damien, but Damien takes him up and over with a back body drop. However, Mark flips through it and lands on his feet behind Damien, he then spins around and grabs Damien from behind and drops him down with a reverse DDT. Mark then springs back to his feet and leaps right up to the top rope and holds his arms up high in the air as the fans explode into cheers.

JR: Mark Ward comes out here like a house of fire!

King: This can't be good!

As Mark is on the top rope celebrating, Richy Dudely rolls out of from the other ring and out to the floor. As Mark sees this, Mark then climbs up higher to the top rope, and then leaps off the top to the outside, nailing a flying body press onto Richy Dudely! Mark then picks up Richy, takes him by the back of head and smashes him face first right into the cage wall. Richy bounces back right into Mark and then Mark whips him back into the steel ringpost, which Richy collides into at full impact and falls to the floor hard from the shot. Mark then turns around just as Damien Diamond comes sliding out of the ring and charges right at him and drills Mark right back into the cell wall. Damien then whips Mark across sending him back first into the ring apron of the nearby ring. Then as Mark stumbles back forward, Damien sweeps his legs out from under him and then slingshots Mark over face-first into the steel cell. Mark hits hard and then falls backward to the ground. Damien then rolls into one of the rings and leaps right up to the top rope. Damien then begins to taunt Mark, who is still laid out on the ground and calls for the Hollywood Glitz. However, while Damien is showboating, Shane gets up in the same ring and then comes up behind Damien and shoves him right off the top. Damien goes flying off the top rope and when in mid-air collides right into the cell wall before then bouncing off and continuing to fall and crashing down to the floor. Shane then rolls out of the ring and sees Richy laid out and goes and grabs him to pick him up, but Richy grabs him by the tights and pulls Shane right into the steel ringpost, knocking him down and out as well, as Richy falls back down to the floor. As all four men are laid out the countdown from 10 once again appears.

JR: All four men laid out on the floor inside the cell and here comes the countdown for entrant #5!

King: Yep, and it's going to be another Corporation member... woo hoo!

The fans chant along as the countdown eventually reaches 0. The fans then erupt into boos as "Chronic Youth" by Raging Speedhorn plays and "Rude Boy" Leroy Evans walks out into the arena. Leroy slowly makes his way down the ramp, taunting the fans who boo him even more for it. Leroy then reaches the bottom of the ramp and the referee opens the door for him. Leroy walks in and looks around with a smile on his face at the sight of everyone laid out, however looks a bit paranoid about the door being closed and locked up behind him. Leroy then shakes it off and walks over to see Mark Ward getting back to his feet. As he's trying to get up Leroy runs over and nails a quick kick right to the side of the head of Mark. Leroy then grabs Mark by the back of the head and begins to grind his face into the steel cage. Leroy then tosses Mark into the ring and slides in after him. Mark stumbles back up as Leroy follows him and then grabs Mark and pulls him in. Leroy then hooks Mark up and takes him up and over with a suplex. As Mark crashes to the mat, Leroy gets up and holds his arms up as the fans boo. Leroy then grabs Mark and sets him up for another suplex. This time when Leroy takes him over, Mark floats through it and lands behind Leroy. Mark then grabs him in a rear waistlock and takes him over with a big german suplex! As Leroy hits the mat, Mark slowly makes his way back to his feet as Leroy is able to get himself back up to his knees. Mark stumbles over to Leroy and grabs him by the hair to pull him up, but Leroy nails Mark with a low blow! Leroy then turns Mark around, grabs him and drops him with a reverse neckbreaker. Leroy goes for the cover but the referee quickly informs him that there are no pinfalls. Leroy then gets frustrated and so pulls Mark's head from off the mat and then plants a knee into Mark's back and holds him into a rear chinlock.

JR: Looks like Leroy doesn't quite remember the rules. There are no pinfalls in this match and the submission can only take place after all men have entered the cage.

King: Well I think the referee is telling Leroy that now, and he doesn't seem to like it.

As the referee informs Leroy of the situation, Leroy quickly releases the hold and just begins to pound away on Mark in anger. Leroy then pulls Mark up and hooks him to nail him with the Weed Cutter! However, as Leroy has Mark by the head and goes to execute it, Mark pushes Leroy off and he goes right into the ropes. Leroy bounces back and as he does, Mark catches him right with a sleeper hold. But Leroy quickly reaches up, grabs Mark by the head and drops down to nail him with a jawbreaker! Mark stumbles back from the shot and as he does, Leroy gets right back up. He then charges in and Mark but Mark leaps up and nails a big dropkick right to the chin of Leroy. Then shot knocks Leroy right down and he quickly rolls across the mat and out to the floor. However, as Leroy thinks he is safe out there, Mark proves him wrong as Mark runs to the ropes and leaps out over the top, coming down on Leroy with a somersault plancha. Mark then gets up and goes over to Shane who he sees getting back to his feet. Mark grabs Shane and rolls him back into the ring and slides in himself after him. Mark then helps Shane back up and the two men stand ready to fight as they look out to the ringside area, where Damien, Richy and Leroy all get back to their feet, surrounding the ring.

JR: We have the makings of a bit of an interesting standoff here.

All three Corporation members get up to their feet and stand around the ring, staring in at their opponents. Leroy slides in first and goes right after Shane. The two begin to brawl back and forth and Mark goes in to help Shane, but Richy quickly slides in and cuts him off. However, as Richy throws a right at Mark, Mark blocks it and begins to throw a constant stream of punches at Richy, rocking him back. Mark eventually backs Richy all of the way into the corner and then leaps up onto the second rope and starts to rain down right hands onto the head of Richy. However, as Mark is doing this, Damien Diamond then slides into the ring and comes up behind Mark and nails him across the back with a big inside forearm shot, stunning him. Damien then turns his back to him, reaches back and grabs Mark and pulls him right off of the second rope and into a crucifix powerbomb right down into the center of the ring!! Meanwhile, Shane ducks one of Leroy's punch attempts and gets behind him and lifts him up and nails a high angle belly to back suplex. Shane then gets up and goes to go to Mark's aid as he charges right at Damien from behind after Damien hits the crucifix. Shane nails Damien from behind, sending him stumbling forward to the mat. But as he turns around, Richy Dudely as hopped up onto the second rope in the corner and flies off with a flying clothesline that takes Shane down hard. With both Perfection Connection members down, this gives The Corporation the opportunity they've waited for as Richy, Damien and Leroy all get back up and begin to take it to both Shane and Mark as they are down, beating on them with punches and kicks and doing everything they can to keep them down on the mat, as they continue their beating. Leroy and Richy both grab Shane and toss him into the corner and begin to beat on him as Damien decides to take Mark for himself. Damien lifts up and Mark and pushes him back against the ropes and begins to beat on him with a combination of punches and chops. Damien then pulls Mark off the ropes and hooks him up for a fisherman's suplex, but suddenly Mark begins to fight back and nail Damien with some right hands to get him off, but it doesn't last long as Richy stops from helping Leroy with Shane and goes right after Mark and chop blocks him from behind, allowing Damien and Richy to quickly beat on him once again. As this is all going on, the 10 count once again appears to the delight of the fans as they begin to cheer.

JR: Well right now things are going in favor of The Corporation, but they're about to have another member of PC to deal with!

The countdown hits zero and the fans explode into cheers as the opening riff of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard plays. As the music begins to blast through the arena "Beautiful" Billy James comes bursting out into the arena with a big smile on his face. Billy then suddenly sprints full speed down the ramp and just as he makes it to the bottom, the referee gets the door open just in time for Billy to fly in right through it. Richy slides out of the ring to confront him, but Billy just leaps right at him and nails him right across the face with a flying forearm shot. Billy gets right back up and slides into the ring, and as he does Leroy Evans takes his attention away from the downed Shane and charges right at Billy. Leroy goes for a clothesline, but Billy ducks under it and keeps running. Billy then hits the ropes, bounces back and then nails Leroy right in the face with a spinning heel kick. As Billy lands on the mat he then does a nipup right back up to his feet just in time as Damien Diamond does to come at Billy. Damien goes to clothesline Billy, but Billy ducks it. Damien then hits the far ropes and as he comes back, Billy ducks down for a back body drop, but Damien leaps over him and hits the other ropes. Billy then gets up and turns to Damien and goes for the Sexy Shot. However, Damien stops short and catches Billy's foot. With Damien having a grip on Billy's one foot, Billy leaps up and goes to nail an enziguri kick to Damien. However, Damien ducks his head and Billy ends up flipping around by gets his foot back under him and once again lands on his one foot. Billy then leaps up and kicks back with his foot, to nail Damien right in the chest. The shot sends Damien stumbling back as Billy falls to the mat on his chest. Billy then rolls forward and right to his feet as Damien hits the ropes and bounces back. Billy then leaps up and spins around nailing a roundhouse kick to the face of Damien, laying him out the Charismatic Kick!! The fans are going nuts as Billy continues to pump himself up and then takes a step back and begins to line Damien up as Damien is stumbling back up to his feet. Billy stands ready to pounce on Damien as he reaches his feet, but just as Damien gets up, suddenly Hot Stuff comes in out of nowhere and tackles Damien down and begins to beat away on him with stiff right hands.

JR: What the hell was that? Billy had Damien lined up to finish him off so it looked and then Mark comes in and decides to take Damien for himself.

King: What are you talking about JR? Mark is the one who was been taking care of Damien all along.

As Billy sees this, he gets a look on his face and holds his arms up in a combination of confusion and frustration. As Billy is busy looking at the whole situation, suddenly Leroy Evans comes in and nails Billy from behind, knocking him down to the mat unexpectedly. Evans then begins to stomp away on Billy. Mark sees this and then gets up and charges right at Evans. Leroy swings at Mark, but Mark ducks behind him, grabs Leroy and plants him with a Reverse DDT. Mark then reaches down, pulls Billy up and then looks right at him and speaks to Billy with a cocky grin on his face.

Mark: Looks like you owe me one now, buddy.

As Mark says this, he quickly turns and walks off to head back towards as Billy stares at him scowling, as he clearly did not like what he just heard from Mark. Billy then turns back to Evans and throws him over into the corner and takes him on with a series of punches and quicks. Meanwhile, Shane and Richy have fought to the outside of the ring and the two brawl back and forth out on the floor. As all of this is going on the 10 count starts again and as it reaches zero "At Last" starts to play and the fans erupt into boos as Christian walks out into the arena. Christian comes down the ramp and runs right into the cage. With Richy and Shane fighting on the outside, Christian charges right in and broadsides Shane. The tag team partners then lift him up and get them up onto their shoulders. They then spear Shane headfirst right into the side of the cell. Richy then drops down and begins to beat away on Shane some more as Christian comes into the ring. Christian goes and grabs Billy from behind as Billy works on Leroy in the corner. However, as Christian grabs Billy, Billy just spins around and knocks Christian's arms right from off of him. Billy then nails Christian with a punch, sending him stumbling back. Billy then turns back around to face Leroy and nails him with a punch as he tries to recover as well. Billy then goes back and forth, alternating punches between Leroy and Christian, until suddenly as Billy turns back once, Christian sneaks in a kick to the gut of Billy. Christian then turns Billy around and holds his arms. Leroy regains his composure and then begins to pound away on Billy with free shots as he nails punches and kicks to the face and chest of Billy. After wearing him down for a bit, Christian then grabs Billy by the back of the head and pulls him back into a reverse DDT right across his knee. Christian and Leroy then both stomp on Billy, kicking him in the corner. Mark sees this and turns his attention away from Damien and goes to help out Billy. However, as soon as Mark turns his back, Damien pulls himself up using the ropes. Just as Mark is about to get over to help Billy, Damien charges in at him from behind and nails a clothesline right to the back of the head of Mark, knocking him down to the mat. Damien then pulls Mark back up, kicks him in the gut and drills him with a DDT.

JR: Well The Corporation once again gaining the advantage here.

King: What did I tell you? The Corporation are gonna win this thing, I knew it!

Just then, the countdown starts again and slowly makes it way down to 0. As it hits zero, "Magic Stick" starts playing and the fans erupt into cheers as "Irresistible" Paul Breland comes running down the ramp. Breland runs right into the cage and Richy Dudely is the first to come out to face him. Breland nails Richy back with a few right hands and then just throws him right into the cell, he then turns around but turns right into a plancha over the top from Christian. Christian then leans down over Breland and starts to pound away on him. However, Breland shoves him off and gets up. Christian charges in at him but Breland ducks behind Christian and kicks him right in the small of the back, sending him down to his knees. Breland then runs in and nails a leaping knee to the back of Christian's head. Breland then rolls into the ring and Leroy Evans charges right at him, but Breland ducks down and grabs the top rope, pulling it down and sending Leroy stumbling over the top. Breland then leans over and yells out at Leroy before turning back around. But as Breland turns, he is met with a clothesline that sends him right over the top rope to the floor. As soon as Breland hits the floors, both Leroy and Richy get up and throw him into the cell and then begin to beat away on him. Meanwhile Christian rolls back into the ring, he and Damien then go back to work on Billy and Mark respectively. However, as Christian starts going in at Billy, Billy grabs him by the tights and pulls him sending him face first right into the turnbuckle. Christian grabs his face and drops down to his knees and Billy climbs up to his feet. Billy then comes up behind Christian and dropkicks Christian sending him forward right into the turnbuckle. Billy then turns his attention back around to where Damien and Mark are. Damien has Mark in the corner and is pounding away on him, when suddenly Mark ducks a shot from Damien and gets himself out of the corner and then shoves Damien into the corner. Billy then charges in from behind Mark and Mark turns around just in time to lift Billy up, sending him flying extra high through the air to come crashing down with a huge body splash on Damien in the corner. Billy then ducks out of the way as Damien comes stumbling out of the corner right into Mark, who pulls Damien in and plants him with Hotter than Hell!! Billy and Mark then both get up and move to the center of the ring as both Christian and Leroy come in from opposite sides of the ring. Mark and Billy then stand back to back, each one of them facing one of the other men. Mark and Billy then hook each other's arms and Mark flips Billy off of his back, over his head and Billy lands with his back right to Christian. Billy then reaches back and grabs Christian by the head and flips backwards right into a reverse DDT. Meanwhile, Mark spins around to face Leroy. Leroy charges in at him, but Mark sidesteps and takes Leroy by the back of the head and launches him right towards where Billy is laid on the ground. Billy rolls up onto the back of his shoulders and puts both his legs up right into the chest of Leroy and launches him right back into Mark. Leroy falls back into Mark who grabs him in a rear waistlock and takes him right over into a german suplex into the middle of the ring! Billy and Mark then both get up and play up to the crowd as they are going nuts!!

JR: For the first time in a long time it looks like Mark and Billy are on the same page, and they're kicking some ass!

King: Well this won't last... at least I hope not. It won't be good if it does!

Billy and Mark then look to the outside to see Richy Dudely standing on the outside and they both grin at him. He shakes his head and quickly retreats to the other ring, standing there and watching them in concern. However, as he is watching them, Breland and Shane come in the ring behind him. The two then spin him around lift him up and drill hard right into the mat with a double spinebuster. The four men then look across the rings at each other with smiles upon their faces, when suddenly they hear the familiar sound of the 10 count as it once again appears. The four men's eyes all turn right to the ramp just as the count reaches 0. "No Chance in Hell" then plays and the fans boo loudly as GCW Commissioner Chris Benoit comes out, dressed in ring attire for the first time in over two years in GCW. Benoit makes his way right down the ramp and the referee opens up the cell door for him and he walks right in and climbs into the first ring with Mark and Billy. He stares at the two men with no look of fear in his eyes as he stops and doesn't even move. Mark then looks back to Billy, Shane and Paul.

Mark: It's just us and him now, boys. Let me take care of this one myself, you guys can stand around and watch me work my magic.

Billy rolls his eyes, but agrees anyway and drops down and rolls out of the ring to the floor, as the other two climb out of the second ring and stand at ringside as well. Mark then looks at them with a cocky smile on his face.

Mark: Don't worry about it boys, this one will be a piece of cake, this guy hasn't wrestled in GCW in years.

However, Mark's cocky attitude is his downfall as Benoit uses this opportunity of Mark's gloating to take advantage by getting the first strike as he walks right up behind Mark and as Mark turns back to face him, Benoit kicks him stiff to the ribs. Benoit then leans Mark back and chops him hard across the chest. Mark stumbles back from the shot, but Benoit follows him in again, nailing a second chop. Mark then stumbles back into the corner and Benoit grabs the ropes and then begins to stomp away various shits to the gut of Mark, knocking him down. Benoit then starts to choke Mark with his foot and after a few seconds eventually releases him and backs off. As he sees this, Breland gets up onto the apron and is about to enter the ring to help until he sees Mark shaking his head at him, asking him not to come in.  Breland hesitates for a moment, before eventually dropping off of the apron back to the floor. Mark then pulls himself back up with the ropes, but Benoit is right on him and nails him with a chop back against the ropes and then irish whips him. Mark bounces back and then Benoit charges in at him and goes for his charging elbow, but Mark does a baseball slide right between Benoit's legs. Benoit turns around as Mark gets up and Mark goes for the Red Hot, but Benoit ducks it and then gets behind Mark and grabs him in a rear waistlock. Benoit then takes Mark up and over with a german suplex! Benoit then pulls Mark back up for a second, but this time Mark blocks it and does a standing switch and then hits a german suplex of his own. Mark then goes to pull Benoit up for a second of his own, but this time Benoit ducks behind Mark and hits his second german suplex!! Benoit pulls Mark up for another, but Mark once again switches up behind Benoit and hits his own second german suplex, but as they hit the mat this time, both men lay out on the mat. Mark is the first up to his feet and he runs to the ropes as Benoit is getting back up, but as Mark comes in, Benoit drops back down and takes Mark down with a drop toehold. He then hops up and drops an elbow right across the back of the back of Mark's neck. Benoit then turns to the three men from PC standing on the outside and begins to taunt them. The three men then suddenly look as if they are going to charge into the ring, but it comes apparent it was used as a distraction, as the four other members of the Corporation are now up and use the distraction to attack Billy, Shane and Paul from behind. All three men all pulled back down to the floor and begin to be beat upon. Leroy Evans kneels over Shane and pounds right heads into his forehead. Meanwhile, Christian takes Breland and irish whips him into the steel post. He then pulls Breland up and then throws him into the cell as well, as he continues to beat on him. Meanwhile, Richy Dudely holds up Billy, with his arms stuck behind him while Damien Diamond beats away on him with free shots. Billy then tries to kick Damien away, but Damien grabs both Billy's legs off the attempt and then both Damien and Richy use that to lift Billy up high and then throw him right into the side of the cage and then have him fall to the ground. Inside of the ring, Benoit then pulls Mark up and then snap suplexes him over. Benoit then gets back to his feet and then slits the throat. Benoit then begins to climb up to the top turnbuckle.

King: Benoit's gonna fly, JR!

Benoit climbs all the way up to the top rope and then stands straight up and comes off with the flying headbutt! Benoit soars through the air, but at the last second Mark rolls out of the way and Benoit crashes to the mat hard. Mark then gets up and goes to get Benoit, but Benoit quickly rolls away and gets up on the apron. However, as Benoit is getting up on the apron, Mark charges forward and nails a dropkick to Benoit, sending Benoit sailing back and landing with his back right into the other ring. Benoit falls to the ground hard holding his back in pain, but pulls himself back up on the ring apron and slides into the other ring. Mark sees this and quickly slides out of the ring he is into and slides into the other with Benoit, pursuing him as Benoit tries to get away. Meanwhile, Shane begins to fight back on Leroy, knocking him back off and then throws him into the empty ring. Shane then follows in and charges at Leroy and plows him down with a clothesline. Leroy stumbles back up only to get leveled with another huge clothesline. Shane continues to pound away on Leroy, beating him down in any way possible. Meanwhile, on the outside Christian continues to beat on Breland using the steel cage and ring as weapons on him as much as possible, smashing his head into the apron, ring post, cage and anything else he can use to hurt Breland with. Billy is also still being double teamed by both Damien and Richy, as he seems to futilely fight them both off. It is then that then 10 count appears again to the cheers of the fans. It hits zero when "You Think You Know Me" plays and the fans explode into cheers as Edge comes bursting out through the curtain and full speed down the ramp. The door is opened and Edge comes charging through, with the first thing he sees is his brother Christian beating away on Breland. Edge continues to charge right at Christian and Christian turns around just in time to be on the receiving end of a huge spear from Edge, that sends Christian speared right back into the cage wall. Christian falls to the mat in a heap as Edge mounts him and begins to send rapid fire right hands to the head of his brother. This gives the chance for a slight recovery from Breland and he goes over to help Billy, but as he goes over Richy sees him coming and turns to him and the two men get into a punch for punch brawl back and forth. All ten men are now paired off and just beating on each other, with no clear advantage coming to either team as all of the men fight it out.

JR: It's a pier six brawl! All ten men are just beating the living hell out of each other!

King: And we've still got six more to go. And it looks like #11 is on his way!

Another 10 count starts and the fans boo as they know the team it is coming for. However, it seems with all of the action going on in the ring, none of the men involved in the match seem to even notice. The clock hits and then "Know Your Role" plays, creating even more boos as The Rock walks out dressed up to the nines in his designer suit, glasses and other various accessories. Rock slowly makes his way down the ramp and as he reaches the bottom, the referee opens the door but he just stops. Rock then turns, looks at the referee and decks him with a big right hand!

JR: What the hell was that?!

King: I think the referee looked at him funny or was making fun of him. Yeah, that had to be it!

JR: I seroiusly doubt that King, The Rock is up to something... I know it.

The Rock goes in and heads right over to where Damien and Billy are fighting back and forth. Rock comes right up from behind Billy, spins him around and kicks him low. Billy falls to the ground in a heap of pain and Rock just looks at Damien and motions for Damien to follow him. Rock and Damien then both turn and head back out of the cell, with the door still open thanks to the downed referee. As they head out the door, Rock walks right past the referee but Damien stops as he sees the referee stirring a little bit and so nails a swift kick right to the referee. Damien then laughs as he continues walking off, following Rock. The two men then walk up the ramp and end up disappearing into the back through the curtain. They are gone for a few minutes, while the fighting continues on in the cage. However, soon after The Rock and Damien Diamond emerge, each with a steel chair in their hands. However, they stop at the top of the ramp, step to opposite sides and then turn and look to the curtain. Moments later, the entourage of Rock and Damien emerge, with the men carrying 3 tables between the six of them. Rock and Damien then lead the six men down the ramp and then stop at either side of the door. The six men then each toss the three tables inside of the cell at the orders of Rock and Damien. Rock then hands his chair to one of the men as he removes his suit and accessories and hands them off, stripping down to his ring gear. Rock then gets his chair back and then Rock and Damien, look at each other and head in with their steel chairs. However, Damien stops and turns back and looks down at the referee with a smirk on his face. Meanwhile, Rock rolls into the ring where Shane and Richy are fighting it out, as Shane is now dominated Richy. Rock comes right up behind Shane and as Shane hears him coming he turns around right into a steel chair shot right over the head! On the outside, Damien picks up the referee and smacks him across the face a few times, snapping him out of it. The referee then looks at Damien, who tells him to close the door behind him. The referee tries to tell Damien that he can't bring in the chair, but Damien looks as if he's going to swing at the referee, causing him to quickly back down. Damien then laughs and turns back and enters the cage as the referee closes the door behind him. As Damien walks in, he looks around to see with all of his time wasting Billy is now up to his feet and staring straight at Damien, challenging him to bring it on. Damien laughs at Billy's challenge and heads straight towards him. Damien then suddenly charges and swings down at Billy, but Billy manages to leap up onto the ring apron, sidestepping it. Billy then jumps across, grabbing onto the steel cage and hanging there and then leaps right over Damien behind him. Damien spins around and goes to swing the chair at Billy, but Billy leaps up and nails a spinning heel kick smashing the chair right back into Damien's face!

JR: This match is getting messier and messier by the minute!

Meanwhile, Rock is continuing to pound away on Shane with the steel chair. After laying Damien out, Billy then grabs the steel chair and slides right into the ring to come to the aid of his stablemate. Billy comes and charges in at Rock and swings with the steel chair, but Rock sees him out of the corner of his eye, and spins around and puts his own chair up just in time to block it. Rock then swings but Billy blocks the shot just the same. The two men then suddenly begin to dual back and forth with the steel chairs, each attempting to catch the other while also blocking the opponents attempts. The two men seem to endlessly battle on, when suddenly Rock swings once at Billy, and Billy drops right down to the ground, causing the shot to fly over his head. Billy then sweeps Rock's legs, tripping him up and knocking him down to the mat and knocking the chair out of his hands in the process. Billy then rolls onto Rock's chest and plants the edge of the chair right into the throat of The Rock! As Billy is using the chair to choke out Rock, suddenly Richy gets back to his feet and comes right at Billy and goes to kick him in the face. Billy quickly releases the chair and catches Billy's foot. Billy then pushes Richy off and then turns back to Rock, but now sees Chris Benoit standing behind him with the chair The Rock had in hand, before Billy can even react, Benoit drills the edge of the chair right into the gut of Billy and then cracks him right over the top of the head with the chair. Benoit then turns back around to return to Mark, who had left laying on the floor, but turns to see Mark now perched on top of the turnbuckle. Mark quickly leaps off and connects with a missile dropkick right to the chair, sending it back right into Benoit. Mark then looks to the outside to see Christian having Edge laid out on the outside and setting up one of the three tables. Christian then pounds on Edge some more and lays him across the table. Mark sees this and runs to the ropes and then leaps up and over the ropes to nail a plancha on Christian, but Christian spots him coming and sidesteps it and Mark flies right by and ends up crashing right onto Edge sending both men through the table!

JR: OH MY GOD! Mark and Edge just both went through that table!!

King: Things aren't looking so good for PC right now, are they?

JR: I don't think they're looking so good for ANYONE right now.

Another countdown once again appears and hits zero. The fans explode into cheers as the #12 entry arives, the GCW World Champion Adam Rich. Adam Rich comes running down the ramp with his title belt around his waist, dried blood on his face. Adam whips the belt from off of himself and tosses it to the referee. He then charges straight into the cell and goes at the first person he see. Adam sees Damien Diamond getting back to his feet and Adam charges right at him, grabs him and cracks him headfirst into the steel ringpost. Adam then comes into the ring, grabs the extra steel chair laying down and as he does, Richy Dudely comes running at him and is on the receiving end of a huge swing of the chair right across the head. Adam doesn't even hesitate and runs right to the ropes and throws the chair out of the ring right at Christian. Christian catches it instinctively and Adam takes the opportunity of the distraction and flips right over the top rope and comes down on Christian with a somersault plancha. Adam then grabs one of the tables and begins to set it up between the two rings. As he's doing so, The Rock comes up from behind and nails him right right in the back. Rock then nails Adam across the table and starts to pound away on him. Rock then looks back to see Chris Benoit getting up in the ring. Rock calls to Benoit and points for him to go up top. Benoit goes to the corner and begins to climb to the top rope as Rock beats on Adam to keep him down on the table. Meanwhile, Edge slides into the other ring and climbs up onto the turnbuckle, directly opposite of Benoit although Benoit does not notice due to the fact he's busy measuring up Adam on the table. After beating on Adam, Rock eventually back off as he allows for Benoit to go for his move. Adam tilts his head up a bit, but sees Edge and just lays flat back down on the table. Benoit measures Adam up and then leaps right off of the top rope, at the same time Edge leaps from his corner directly at Benoit. Adam rolls off the table the moment both men are in the air, and Edge catches Benoit in mid-air with a huge spear that sends both men then crashing all the way through the table and to the floor!!!

JR: OH MY GOD!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST SEEN!!!

King: That was insane!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!

Adam and Rock both stare down at the wreckage with a look of shock on their face. The ten count once again which suddenly causes the two to then snap out of it and look at each other and Rock charges right at Adam. Adam sidesteps him and then takes him by the back of the head and launches him right into the steel cage. Rock hits the cage hard and then bounces off and as he does, Adam grabs him again and cracks his head against the steel ringpost. Adam then grabs the nearby steel chair, picks it up and cracks it right over the top of Rock's head, laying him out and busting him wide open!! Adam then holds the chair up over his head when the ten count hits zero and Adam hears the familiar sound of the Y2J countdown. Adam drops the title and looks to the entrance with a sick smile on his face. "King of My World" plays and the fans boo loudly as Chris Jericho slowly walks out into the arena and covered in dried blood from earlier. Jericho comes running down the ramp to aid his Corporation stablemates, but just as the referee opens the door and Jericho goes to run through it, Adam just charges straight at the opened door and spears Jericho right back out before through the door to the outside, before the referee even has a chance to close it. Jericho pushes Adam off of him and gets up and begins to head right back up the ramp, but Adam quickly purses. Adam follows Jericho up the ramp, catches up to him and then grabs him and whips him right back down the ramp and into the side of the cage. Jericho stumbles back from the shot and Adam lifts him up and slams him right down onto the steel ramp hard! Adam then takes Jericho by the legs and the slingshots him right into the side of the cage! However, Jericho manages to catch himself and hangs onto the side of the cage, rather than hitting into it. Adam sees this and goes to grab Jericho, but Jericho just begins to climb up the side of the cage, just in an attempt to get away from Adam. However, the plan isn't all too successful as Adam begins to climb up the cage as well right behind him.

JR: Jericho and Adam heading up to the top of the War Games cell here!

King: Oh no! This NEVER turns out good!

Jericho gets up first and then turns around shocked to see Adam coming up right behind him. Adam reaches the top of the cage and Jericho goes right at him, nailing him with rights trying to knock him off of the cell, but Adam quickly fights back and is able to knock Jericho back and go to the center of the ring, getting himself clear of the edge. The two men begin to fight back and forth, until Jericho stumbles back and trips over one of the crossbars. Adam follows in at him, but as he hovers over him, Jericho kicks up, nailing Adam with a low kick. Adam drops to his knees and Jericho gets up to his feet. He then grabs Adam by the back of the head pulls him up and launches him across the ring, sending him flying over the edge!!! However, as Adam goes over, he manages to reach and grab one of the corner bars with one hand, holding onto the top and swinging him around, crashing into the side of the cage hard, but holding himself there. Jericho doesn't realize this and stands on the top of the cage with his arms up, as if he were celebrating a vcitory. However, Christian sees this from the inside of the cage and quickly runs outside and begins to climb up right underneath Adam. However, Adam sees him coming and uses his foot to try to kick off Christian. Christian starts to dodge it a bit, but then Christian gets hit right in the face and gets knocked off the cage, but luckily before he can even get too far and only falls a short bit before landing on the floor. Jericho suddenly realizes what's happened and goes to go right after Adam. He bends down and goes to throw a right at Adam, but Adam blocks it with one hand and then reaches up and grabs Jericho right around the throat with it, choking Jericho. Adam then gets a foothold on the side of the cage and pushes himself up a bit and is then able to use his grip on Jericho to pull him up right off of the top and send him flying right off of the cage!!! Christian is just climbing to his feet as Jericho comes flying off and goes to try and catch Jericho, but the impact just completely knocks Christian right out and sends both men tumbling to the floor!

JR: Jericho just went right off of the side of that cage!

King: Thank God Christian was there to catch him. Well... at least cushion the fall... kind of.

Adam then drops down off of the side of the cell, just as the 10 count happens again. Adam watches the entrance as the clock hits zero and once again "It's My Life" plays. Adam gets a bit of a smile on his face as the fans erupt into cheers and his drunken stablemate Matt Grove stumbles out onto the entrance ramp. Matt stumbles down the ramp and right over to Adam. Adam then picks up Jericho and Matt grabs Christian and the two throw their opponents in through the cell door and then walk in themselves, with the door finally closing behind them. The action continues to go on back and forth inside of the ring and the new entrant stops and looks around at all and then spots exactly what he was looking for. Matt walks over and gets his hands right around the neck... of one of Shane's bottles of beer. Matt then hops up onto the apron, sitting down as he pops open the beer. Matt then starts to sip it and drink it as he just sits there, watching various fights and brawls passing by him as he just sits back and relaxes with the beer in his hand.

JR: Do I am seeing what I think I am?

King: I think so. It looks like Matt is sitting backing and enjoying the show with a cold one. I've got to say, I may want to see The Corporation win, but this guy is great!

As Matt's sipping on the beer when suddenly a look of unhappiness comes across his face. He then looks into the bottle to realizes he already finished it off, as he can clearly see the bottom of the bottle. Matt then flips the beer bottle over and grabs it by the neck. He then hops off and looks around and the first thing he sees is Leroy Evans in a fight with Matt's partner Shane. The two are fighting it out back and forth when Matt comes right up behind Leroy and just cracks the bottle across the head of Leroy, smashing the bottle into a million glass pieces. Leroy then falls to the ground in a heap from the shot. Matt and Shane then look at each other, smile and high five each other. Matt then walks back over to the six pack, grabs two beers and tosses one to Shane. The two men then pop the tops off of the bottles, clink them together and begin to pound the beers togther. However, as this is going on suddenly their vulnerability is taken advantage of as Christian nails Shane from behind while Richy nails Matt. Both men stumble forward and it causes both of them to spill their beers. For the first time ever, looks of pure rage and anger come over the faces of Life and the Party and the two men turn to their opponents, who attempt to take them down with rights and lefts, which have absolutely no affect!!

JR: I've never seen LOTP like this! This is amazing!

King: Richy, Christian... you shouldn't have done that! You guys spilled their beers, this is gonna be ugly!

Matt and Shane suddenly begin to unload on the two members of Enriched Christianity, beating on them ruthlessly and sending both of them back against the cage. They then simulatenously begin to slam them back and forth between the cage wall and ring apron, before eventually turning and irish whipping the two men right into each other, sending them both falling to the mat. They then pick Richy up, set up him up and nail him right on the floor with their tag team finisher, the Pummel!!! Leroy Evans then begins to get up from the bottle shot from earlier and nails Matt from behind, knocking him down and begins to go at it with Shane. However, Matt is quickly to his feet and the two men begin to beat on the member of Maximum Damage. The countdown then suddenly starts and eventually reaches zero and "Chronic Youth" plays as the other half of Maximum Damage, Malice comes charging down the ramp full speed. He heads straight into the cage and heads towards the brawl with LOTP in attempt to help out his partner. Malice charges in and right at Matt, drilling him right into one of the cell walls. Then as Matt stumbles back in off of it and Malice tosses him into the ring. Malice slides in with him and tosses him into the corner and begins to pound away on him. Meanwhile on the outside, Shane has done his best to keep Leroy on the ground, stomping away on him, as he is laid out, leaning up against the cell. Meanwhile, throughout the cage Mark Ward is once again fighting with Benoit, Billy is doing his best to fight off double team attempts from Damien and The Rock, Jericho and Adam are still fighting it out and Richy and Christian are fighting with Edge and Breland. Then suddenly, as Damien and Rock get the upper hand on Billy, Rock turns his attention away to go and assist Benoit, as he slides into the ring they are in and nails Mark from behind. Rock then stomps away on Mark as Benoit gets in on the action as well. However, as this is going on, on the outside Benoit sees Adam start to set Jericho up on the final table there. Benoit quickly slides out of the ring and goes right for Adam, nailing him from behind. Adam stumbles a bit then turns around and begins to fight Benoit off. Jericho then gets up off the table and becomes to come up behind Adam. Adam then pushes Benoit back and then turns back around to Jericho. As Adam turns his back to him, Benoit then charges at him from behind and goes for his running elbow, but Adam hears it coming and drops downing, causing Benoit to collide right with Jericho and knock him down and out! Benoit then grabs the steel chair laying nearby and spins around and cracks it right over the top of the head as he's getting back up. Benoit then turns back around to Jericho who gets back to his feet and gets right in Benoit's face.

King: Oh no! Come on guys, calm down!!!

Benoit and Jericho are nose to nose staring each other down when suddenly Jericho just shoves Benoit back. Benoit then actually swings at Jericho with the steel chair! Jericho dodges it, but a look of rage comes across his face. Benoit tries to back down and apologize, but Jericho just grabs him and starts to chop Benoit across the chest. Jericho then grabs Benoit and whips him right into the ring apron. Jericho then grabs Benoit and brings him over to the setup table. Jericho begins to pound away on Benoit and then rolls him onto the table. Jericho then gets on the table with Benoit and grabs Benoit from behind and hooks him up for the Breakdown!! However, Benoit does a backkick to Jericho with a low blow. Benoit then does a standing switch behind Jericho and nails a big german suplex that sends both men straight through the table!! Jericho is completely laid out as Benoit stumbles up out of the rumble and looks down at Jericho.

Benoit: You made me do this! This is your fault!

« on: February 17, 2013, 03:48:23 PM »
 Not long after this match, Hot Stuff was set to face off against a man who was still a mutual friend to both Mark and Billy, as he continually refused to get involved in this feud.  Hot Stuff defended his World title against Jordan Williams, ultimately losing the title to Jordan and afterward, determined it was time to step away from the wrestling ring and like that, this heated rivalry quickly came to an abrupt end... at least for the time being.

Fast forward some time into the future and Mark was back in the wrestling ring in the newly-formed Generation-X Wrestling (GXW), featuring a lot of familiar faces to GCW, while GCW was seeing the revival of a very familiar feud.  With the feud of the Perfection Connection and The Corporation hitting all new heights in GCW, the two stables were booked against each other in a War Games match, but the only problem was, PC found themselves one man short.  It was at that time Jordan Williams decided to get in touch with his old friend and before they knew it, much to Billy James' chagrin, PC had an old member back on its side, as Hot Stuff agreed to return to GCW for this match.  Leading up to the match, Hot Stuff and Billy seemed to butt heads on numerous occasions, while both managing to keeping from getting violent with one another in an attempt to please their mutual friends and focus on their common enemies.  The question became how long that would last, as the group headed into this War Games match at Bad Blood 2004.

The crowd are setting down in their seats when a drum beat starts to play for about a minute, but nothing happens, no one appears. All of a sudden the Words "Lay your hands on me" are repeated. A huge guitar rift starts to play as his pyros explode either side of the stage. Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands On Me" Starts to boom through the speakers. The smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage. He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyros to explode behind him. Hot Stuff is wearing his usual tight black shorts with HS on the back and black boots. He slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance and quickly moving away from them with a look of disgust. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before running and jumping on to the ropes, his arms held high in the air as boos echo around. He jumps down and loosens up his arms.

JR: Hot Stuff looks ready.

King: Definately.

The fans wait patiently, anticipating the beginning of this big show and a buzz of conversation begins to fill the entire arena about the great night of action that will be taking place later on. Suddenly, without warning, "Cherry Pie" by Warrant begins to pump out through the arena's PA system at a deafening volume. The male fans in the arena suddenly become pumped up and get to their feet as they realize what that music always signifies. Suddenly the male fans erupt into cheers, hoots, hollers and catcalls when, Kristen Hayes walks out from the back and makes her way down the ramp. Kristen is wearing a white baby-tee with a black leather miniskirt and black high heel boots. She slowly walks down the ramp with a smile on her face, as she walks down to the ring, ignoring all the men who reach out, hoot and holler at her. She climbs up the steel steps and climbs into the ring between the bottom and second rope. She then gets a microphone from someone at ring side and begins her introductions.

Kristen Hayes: Everyone... if I may have your attention please! At this time, I would like to introduce to all of you, hailing from Miami, Florida... he measures in at a perfectly precise six feet and one inch tall and weighs in at a lean, masculine, muscular two hundred and thirty seven pounds of pure beefcake!

The PA system comes alive with the opening chords of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and the entire arena raises to their feet as they watch the top of the ramp intently.

Kristen Hayes: He is the hottest, the best looking and, of course, the most beautiful man in the history of Global Championship Wrestling and the entire world! He is also, without a doubt, the best damn wrestler to ever step foot inside of an GCW ring and is a member and co-founder of the illustrious Perfection Connection!

The fans explode into cheers at the mention of the Perfection Connection.

Kristen Hayes: And he is the 3 time and current Global Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion....... "Beautiful"... Billy... James!!!!

The fans then explode into deafening cheers at the announcement just as "Beautiful" Billy James steps out through the curtain into the arena. The fans begin to cheer even louder as they actually see Billy. The fans are going crazy to see that Billy has returned to his old wrestling attire. James is wearing a black wrestling singlet with a red trim, red knee pads with a black trim, black boots with red laces and black grappling gloves with long black elbow pads that reach down the gloves. James is still also wearing, as per usual, his trademark dark sunglasses. James walks to the edge of the stage right at the top of the ramp and then stops. James then does a double bicep pose and the girls in the arena start to shriek with delight as his red pyros flare off straight up from either side of James. James then gives a bit of a smirk and a huge red pyro explodes behind him! Billy then grins widely as he lowers his arms and then strikes a bit of a pose with a huge smile on his face. Billy then stops what he's doing and continues on, continuing to walk down the ramp. As James reaches the bottom of the ramp he quickly leaps up onto the steel steps. As James slowly climbs the steps he looks over at a group of young female fans that are seated in the front row ringside and winks at the girls. The girls go insane as James leaps onto the apron, with a big smile on his face. James then stands on the apron and turns toward the crowd and strikes another bicep pose and the women in the arena once again shriek James then lowers his arms, and mouths something to a few women in the front row who then go absolutely insane. Billy then stops and rolls over the ropes backwards into the ring, landing on his feet. James then runs over and quickly leaps onto the turnbuckle and strikes another double bicep pose as the women continue to go insane. James once again lowers his arms and this time he rubs his chest a bit as the women shriek loudly over it. He then continues to do a backflip right off the turnbuckle, landing on his feet on the mat with a giant smirk on his face as he laughs to himself.

JR: A lot of pagentry and rightfully so for the biggest championship in this business. Billy puts up the gold and diamonds tonight.

King: JR, I've been in 60 minute matches and I'll tell you, those are hard to get through. But these two are fixin to go for an extra 30 minutes.

JR: These two are in magnificent condition and I don't doubt their ability to go 90 minutes.

Hot Stuff quickly drops down and hooks Billy's far leg, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: Woo hoo! A point for "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward!

JR: At 47 minutes, Hot Stuff hits his patented Red Hot to score the pinfall, and bring this to a little closer game as Billy is still up 2 to 1.

After the pin is counted, Hot Stuff releases his pin of Billy then quickly hooks the leg instantly again, 1.. 2.. 3, NO! Billy BARELY gets his shoulder up before the 3!

Billy kicks out!!! Mark pounds the mat and anger, and as Billy tries to sit up, Mark pushes him back down and tries for another pin, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out again. Mark then gets up and waits for Billy to get up, taunting him and screwing for him to get up as he does so. Hot Stuff then hastily steps in and goes for the Red Hot as soon as Billy reaches his feet! Billy ducks out of the way, and Hot Stuff's foot ends up right on top of the turnbuckle, leaving him with his foot stuck for a moment. Before Hot Stuff has a chance to react, Billy quickly takes advantage of Mark while he's prone to nail him with his own superkick, the Sexy Shot! Billy quickly drops down and hooks both the legs as he leans back on Mark, 1.. 2.. 3, NO... Mark kicks out!!! Billy sits there in utter disbelief as Mark kicks out just a hair before the three count. Billy then picks Mark back up to his feet. As soon as Mark is back up, Billy pushes him back to give himself space as he goes for another Sexy Shot! This time Mark catches the foot, and sweeps Billy's other leg to drop him on the mat. Mark then takes Billy's leg and begins to turn him over into a half crab and then drops down to lock on an STF Submission!

JR: THE STF! Mark just locked on the STF! That's Mark's favorite submission move and it's one helluva move to try and get out of!

King: That's it! Billy's gonna tap... it's gonna be 3 to 2 for Mark!

JR: I don't know what's gonna happen... Bily has NEVER tapped in his entire wrestling career!

King: Well Billy had never been pinned either until a month ago. But things change.. and tonight Billy will tap!

Billy screams out in pain, as Hot Stuff cranks on the hold! The referee keeps checking on Billy, but Billy continually tries to fight free, and refuses to give up. Mark screams at Billy, and yells for him to give up, but Billy continually refues. Mark begins to crank a bit, grinding his arms into the face of Billy! The referee continually checks on Billy, and Billy starts to fade, but still answers the referee and refuses to give up. The referee continually checks on him, and Mark becomes frustrated as Billy continues to take the pain, and while still fading, will not give up.

JR: Mark has had that submission move on for a long time now.

King: I know.. this is ridiculous! It has to have been nearly 5 minutes now! Why won't Billy just give up or else he'll spend the rest of the match in this hold!

JR: Billy's a stubborn SOB... that's why! And we've got plenty of action to go as we're only 52 minutes into this 90 minute matchup!

After a few more moments of the same, the referee once again asks Billy if he submits, but there is no responce. The referee then grabs Billy's arm and lifts it up to check if he's conscious,  but as he releases it, Billy's arm stays up, but he is clearly very weak. Mark then cranks the hold a bit more and Billy's arm just drops right down to the mat. Mark cranks on the hold, grinding his arms into Billy's a face repeatedly for a few more moments. Mark then finally releases the hold and rolls Billy onto his back for a pin attempt, 1... 2... Billy kicks out!! Hot Stuff gets infuriated and just rolls out of the ring. Mark walks over near the announce position and grabs a steel chair from ringside, and heads back to the ring.

JR: What the hell is with the steel chair?!? This is ridiculous!

King: Hey, it's no disqualifications! Mark can use whatever he wants. Isn't this great!?!

Mark pushes the chair into the ring and then rolls into the ring as well. Mark then stands up and grabs the steel chair, as Billy is seen slowly pulling himself up using the ropes. As Billy is still getting to his feet, Mark charges in at him, with the steel chair high above his head. Mark swings the chair down at Billy as he pulls himself up with the ropes, but Billy sees it in time a drops down to the mat out of the way. Mark's swing then hits the top rope and bounces back, causing the chair to bounce back and hit Mark right in the face! The shot caues Mark to drop the chair and stumble back, and Billy takes advantage of his position down on the mat to roll Mark up with a pin and grabs a hand full of tights in the process, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: ACK!!! NO!!! That's not right!

JR: Oh, it's very right King! Billy just scored another point and he's up 3 to 2 at the 55 minute mark!

Right after the pinfall, Billy rolls right out of the ring to the floor. Mark sits up and his eyes are wide as he's in complete shock of what's happened. Mark then turns his head and looks to Billy on the outside, who just points at Mark and starts to laugh hysterically. Mark's expression turns to that of anger and he quickly gets up to his feet and then charges towards Billy and leaps over the top with a plancha towards him. Billy quickly sidesteps and pushes Mark along, sending him flying right into the barricade! Billy then stomps away on Mark on the outside, before grabbing Mark and picking him up. Billy then takes Mark, and whips him right into the steel ringpost, and Mark collides with it with his left shoulder and falls to the mat clutching it. Billy then comes over and drops an elbow right across Mark's back, as he tries to push himself back up. Billy then grabs Mark by the head and just pulls him up and rolls him right into the ring. Billy then climbs up onto the apron and springboards over into the ring and hits a legdrop right across the throat of Mark. Billy then tries for a cover, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Billy then picks Mark back up and hooks him up for a suplex. Billy lifts Mark up for a suplex, but Mark floats through it, coming down behind Billy and in one fluid motion, Mark nails Billy with a reverse DDT. Mark reaches over to grab the leg for the pin, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out!

JR: Lots of near falls here.

King: But Hot Stuff needs to actually get a fall. Actually, two of them if he wants to win this. We've hit ONE HOUR and Billy is still up 3 to 2!

JR: Both of these men must be completely exhausted in there... and it's becoming quite visible as both men are slowing down, and neither man can hit any move big enough to keep the other down.

King: I'm just glad this match wasn't a 60-minute Iron Man. Billy would've won!

JR: I suppose that's true, King. But now Mark still has 30 minutes to make a comeback here and win the title.

Mark picks Billy up by the hair and just tosses him right into the corner. Mark then starts to nail Billy with a variety of punches and kicks, knocking him down to the mat. Mark then leans back while holding onto the ropes and puts a foot across Billy's throat, choking him out! The referee comes over and admonishes Mark, and tries to get him to release the hold, but Mark just completely ignores the referee and continues to choke out Billy.

JR: Oh, come on! What the hell?!? This is not right!

King: It's no DQ, JR! It's ALL legal!!!

JR: It still doesn't make it right, damnit!

As Mark is preoccupied, arguing with the referee, he still continues to choke out Billy with a boot across the throat. However, Mark doesn't notice as Billy then suddenly starts to counter, as he lifts his legs up and suddenly, grabs his leg around Mark's on leg, and at the same time grabs Mark by his foot. Billy quickly gets Mark's foot from off of him, and is able to take him down right to the mat and lock him right into a side leglock! Mark screams out in pain from the move and tries to fight it off. Mark then realizes how close he is to the ropes and reaches over and quickly grabs them. The referee then looks to Billy for the break, but Billy just smiles back and shakes his head no. Mark continues to scream out in pain as he clutches the bottom rope tightly!

King: What the heck?!? He's not breaking the hold! That's not fair!

JR: In your own words, King... it's ALL legal!

Mark uses the ropes to pull himself closer to the apron, as he and Billy are both dragged by this. Mark then continues to pull himself under the ropes and then pushes past the ropes, putting himself sort of half hanging out of the ring. Mark then pushes himself right off the side, in attempt to force Billy to release the hold, but Billy still keeps a tight hold on the leg, and Mark ends up bending backwards, with his leg being cranked by Billy, and now bent across the apron, as he hands from the apron, being held in the submission by Billy!

JR: Big mistake by Hot Stuff. He tried to get Billy to drop him out of the hold, but instead Billy just held on and Mark has made matters even worse for himself.

Mark screams out in pain, as Billy holds onto him. Mark's weight is working against Billy as he tries to keep on the hold, and his grip on Mark begins to slowly slip, as the weight also starts Billy to slightly slide a bit more towards the edge of the ring, and Billy plants one foot on the bottom rope, to keep himself from sliding any more. Billy's grip continues to slip, as he holds Mark's entire weight, and Mark eventually just gives up and lets go off Mark's leg. Mark then suddenly drops, and falls right on his head on the outside of the ring. Mark then quickly grabs his head with one hand, as he embraces his right knee with the other. Billy slides out of the ring to where Mark is. Billy then rolls Mark into the ring and then begins to search under the ring and pulls out a table. Billy then slides the table into the ring and then rolls in as well. Mark is just getting back to his feet, and Billy quickly grabs him by the head and smacks him head first into the turnbuckle, and Mark falls after the impact. Billy then goes over, and opens up the table, folding out the legs of it. Billy then pulls it up, and is setting it up perpendicular to the corner, as Mark is now getting up and slowly climbing to the top rope. After setting up the table, Billy turns around to see Mark getting up top. Billy quickly rushes over, but Mark kicks Billy right in the face as he rushes in. Billy grabs his face and spins around and stumbles away from the shot. With Billy's back now facing Mark, Hot Stuff then leaps up and nails a top rope bulldog that ends up putting him and Billy right through the table!!! Mark then rolls Billy onto his back and covers him, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

JR: There it is, it's all tied up!!!

King: WOO HOO! Tied 3 to 3 at 70 minutes!

Mark gets up, and starts to hobble a bit, as his right leg is still weak from earlier. Mark rolls Billy out of the wreckage that remains of the table, and then pushes the remains of the table out of the ring. Mark then grabs Billy and lifts him up. He then grabs Billy from behind in a reverse DDT position, setting him up for the Heat Seaker. Billy quickly counters by turning his body so he's got his head under Mark's arm and then reverses it right into northern lights suplex. Billy bridges the move for a pin, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Both men get up and Mark quickly charges at Billy and Billy takes him down with an armdrag and then locks on a quick armlock before Mark quickly wiggles free. Both men then get back up and they start to trade right hands back and forth, but begin to each throw their punches slower and slower as they begin to lose their wind. Billy eventually takes the advantage and backs Mark into the corner with right hands. Billy then goes to irish whip Mark to the opposite side, but Mark reverses it and sends Billy to the far corner. Mark then runs in at Billy, but Billy gets a foot up and nails Mark right in the face. Mark turns and goes stumbling away and Billy quickly hops up onto the second rope. Billy then does a flip over Mark, grabbing his head into the process putting Mark right into a stunner!

JR: The Simply Stunning!!!

Mark bounces back up to his feet after the Simply Stunning, and kinda stumbles around with a dazed look in his eyes. Billy gets up back to his feet and then turns to Mark as he stumbles towards him, and Billy kicks him in the gut and plants him with a front face DDT, the Dazzling Driver!!! Billy then gets up, runs to the ropes and springboards off with the Sexy Splash right on Mark!!! Billy then hooks the leg to finally make the cover, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: AH! NOT AGAIN! It's 4 to 3 for Billy!

JR: Billy wanted to make sure Mark stayed down. He hit the Simply Stunning, followed by the Dazzling Driver and then the Sexy Splash... three of his trademark moves, and then made the pin. He's now up 4 to 3 at 73 minutes!

Billy goes to pick up Mark, Hot Stuff quickly grabs Billy's head as he does so, and drops him right into a jawbreaker. The move stuns Billy for a moment and Mark takes advantage by getting up and nailing Billy with a dropkick right to the face. Mark got back up, as Billy slowly pushed himself up afterwards. Mark backs Billy into the ropes and then irish whips him off. As Billy comes back, Mark goes to nail him with a kick, but Billy does a baseball slide under Mark's leg and behind him. Billy slides right by the steel chair left in the ring and goes to grab it. Mark quickly spins around and as Billy is starting to pick up the chair, Mark quickly steps on it, stopping him from doing so and then nails Billy with a knee right to the side of the head, knocking him back. Mark then grabs Billy and picks him up and does a standing switch to behind him. Mark then quickly pulls Billy bent back to put put in position for a reverse DDT and then hits the Heat Seeker, right on top of the steel chair!!! Hot Stuff then quickly pushes the chair out of the way and pins Billy, 1... 2... 3!!!

King: WOO HOO! Another point for Hot Stuff!

JR: The Heat Seaker is enough to tie it up, it's now 4 to 4 at the 75 minute mark.

Hot Stuff then quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs a second steel chair. Hot Stuff slides back in and then opens up the steel chair. As soon as he does, Billy gets back up and comes running in at him, and Hot Stuff quickly nails him with a drop toehold, sending Billy face first into the steel chair. Mark then gets up as Billy bounces back up from the impact and Mark DDTs him hard into the mat. Mark then grabs the other steel chair, and drops it next to him, where he crouches down, as he stands in waiting for Billy to get back up. Billy slowly pushes himself up using the opened chair, and as he reaches his feet, he turns around to see Mark. Mark quickly takes a step to him and then nails him with the Red Hot! The shot sends Billy falling back, and Billy falls right into a sitting position in the opened chair. Mark then looks at Billy who has a dazed look on his face, and seems out of it from the kick. Mark then picks up the second steel chair and tosses it right at Billy's face. Billy manages to catch the chair while still in the daze from the previous shot. Mark then nails the Red Hot again to the chair, sending the steel chair right back into Billy's face with great force! The shot sends the chair toppling over and Billy spilling out to the mat with the chair laying over his face. Mark quickly goes over and drops down. He then pulls the chair off of Billy's face, to reveal that Billy was busted wide open from the shot, as blood runs down his face. Mark then quickly hooks Billy's leg for a pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: That's it! Mark's the new champion!

JR: I think that's being a tad bit premature. However we are at the 78 minute mark, and Hot Stuff just hit Billy with two consecutive Red Hot's, one invovling a steel chair that busted Billy open. Mark now has the lead with a score of 5 to 4.

Mark quickly gets up and grabs the opened steel chair, which is now completely destroyed after what just happened. Mark takes the mangled chair, and throws it out of the ring, leaving the one other chair remaining in the ring. Mark grabs that steel chair and starts to bash away at the head of Billy, while he's still laid out. Mark then takes the edge of it, and starts to ram it right into the gut of Billy, and then stands over Billy, and takes it and drives it right into his throat. Billy gasps for air, as Mark stands over him and stomps him a few times. Mark then unfolds the chair and sets it up. Mark then pulls Billy up to his feet, sets him up. Mark then lifts him in a DDT position, holds it for a few seconds before dropping him into the Hotter than Hell, right onto the chair!! The impact crumbles the opened chair as Billy goes head first into it! Hot Stuff then pushes Billy out of the remaining rubble of the chair, and kicks the chair right out of the ring. Mark then hooks Billy's leg for a pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: HAHA! This is great! Mark gets another pin!!

JR: It's now 6 to 4 in favor of the challenger, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward!

King: And did you see that move?!? I don't think Billy will be able to take any more of this. Good thing it's already 80 minutes. Only 10 minutes left! Mark's got this one in the bag.

Mark continues to stomp and pound away on Billy viciously, as he now bleeds profusely from the now large cut across his head. Mark even takes the destroyed remains of the chair in the ring, and starts to use the different edges, to grind into the forehead of Billy, cutting him up even more with it. Mark then pulls Billy to his feet and props him into the corner and then nails him with a shot right to the gut, with one of the piercing corners of the destroyed chair, before blasting him in the head with it, and Billy falls out of the corner flat on his face. Mark then picks Billy back up and backs him against the ropes with some forearm shots right across the chest. Mark then irish whips Billy across the ring and as Billy goes back, Mark goes for a clothesline. Billy surprisingly manages to duck under the attempt and runs to the far side. Mark turns to him, just as Billy bounces back, and Billy comes flying and nails Mark with a cross body, and goes bouncing away upon landing. Billy then rolls right out of the ring, and then stumbles over near the announce position and grabs another steel chair as Mark tries to get himself up off of the mat.

JR: That's the third steel chair being brought into play here tonight. Two others have already been destroyed!

As Mark is getting up, he gets on his knees and begs Billy off as Billy slides in the ring, and approaches him with the steel chair over his head. As Billy approaches, Mark then quickly grabs Billy by the tights and pulls him in, right into a low blow! Billy doubles over and grabs himself in pain and quickly drops the steel chair. Hot Stuff then gets to his feet and sends Billy back with repeated right hands, backing him right into the corner. After getting backed into the corner, Billy quickly props himself up in the corner and lifts his legs up between him and Mark, to then push Mark back, sending him tumbling backwards. Billy then quickly takes one leap right up to the top rope, but Mark is back up to his feet and gets up and shakes the top rope so that Billy gets crotched up on top of the turnbuckle. Mark then climbs up top with Billy, getting ready to hit a move off the top. Hot Stuff leaps up onto Billy's shoulders for a frankensteiner, but Billy quickly grabs him to block the attempt. Billy holds Ward up, holding him in a powerbomb position and then spins him around so that Ward gets spun behind, sitting up on Billy's shoulders. Billy then reaches up and pushes Mark back, so Mark drops backward and his back ends up right against Billy's back. Billy then releases his grasp on Mark's legs and quickly hooks Mark's arms instead and Mark's legs end up coming off away from Billy's shoulder's and Billy uses their interlocking arms to hold Mark up like that. Billy now has it set up so that Mark is hanging upside down, back to back with Billy with their arms interlinked.

JR: Oh my God! Did you see what he just did!?! What a counter!

King: I can't believe it! Did he just do what I think he did?!? He wouldn't do it... would he?!? He can't!!!

JR: Let's hope not, for Mark's sake!

In this position, Billy then has Hot Stuff set up for, and leaps right off the top rope to drops him right into, an amazing version of the BeautiBreaker!!! Billy then just turns over and tosses an arm across Mark's chest, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

JR: OH MY GOD! He did it!!! I can't believe it!

King: Billy just hit the BeautiBreaker off the top rope!!! Mark's neck must be broken!!! This is horrible!!!

JR: Neither man is moving! Mark is still in the lead, 6 to 5, and both men are laid out at 83 minutes, with 7 minutes left to go!!!

Both men remain laid out in the ring, neither man moving at all, as the fans in the arena begin a chant of "Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!". The referee checks on both men, as they are both still laying out in the ring, now both slowly beginning to move. Billy crawls over to the ropes, and uses them to pull himself up, as Hot Stuff slowly pushes himself back to his feet. Billy then charges right at Hot Stuff, and Hot Stuff quickly lifts him over with back body drop. Billy crashes down on his back and holds it in pain, as Hot Stuff's legs give out and he falls to his knees right after the move. Mark then climbs back up to his feet and turns around to see Billy pulling himself up with the ropes ago. Mark then charges in at Billy. Billy sees Mark coming and quickly drops down and pulls down the top rope, low-bridging Mark and sending him tumbling over the top to the outside. Billy then picks himself back up, and grabs the steel chair laying in the ring. Mark climbs back up onto the apron as Billy grabs the steel chair and comes back at him. As Mark stands up on the apron, Billy swings the chair, but Mark quickly ducks under it, and the chair crashes against the steel turnbuckle pole. Before Billy gets a chance to react, Mark quickly grabs him by the head and drops down, hanging him up throat-first against the top rope! Billy drops the chair to the outside as he goes to grab his throat and stumbles away. Billy then looks outside to see Mark picking up the steel chair on the floor. As Mark stands back up with the chair, Billy quickly runs towards him and then does a baseball slide right at Mark. Hot Stuff sees it coming and dodges it, causing Billy to slide right out of the ring. As Billy comes sliding out of the ring, Mark then takes the chair and cracks him right across the top of the head of Billy!!! Billy falls right to the floor and then Mark starts to take Billy apart, bashing him with the chair, and driving the edge into him at points. Mark then picks Billy up and leans him against the ring. Mark then takes the chair and drills the top of the chair right into the gut of Billy. Billy grabs his stomach as he doubles over and then falls right to the ground. Mark then just kicks him in the face once before cracking him right over the skull with the steel chair! Mark grabs Billy by the hair, pulling his face up and looks right in Billy's face, as blood pours down, and becomes to scream at and taunt him. Mark then takes Billy, and rolls him right on top of the Spanish Announce Table!

JR: Oh no! Mark's setting up Billy on our Spanish Announce table!

King: HAHA! Get out of the Jorge!! HAHA!

Mark lays Billy right across the table, and then takes the chair and suddenly begins to repeatedly crack Billy over the head, chest and legs with the steel chair. Mark viciously continues to rain down chair shots over and over again. Mark then eventually stops and drops the steel chair and then walks over and climbs up onto the apron. Mark then climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and looks down at Billy, as he's laid out on top of the Spanish Announce table.

JR: DON'T DO IT, MARK!!! Damnit, this is insane!!! Don't do it!!!

King: I agree with you, JR! He can't do this! This... this will kill 'em both!

Mark then suddenly stands up straight on top turnbuckle, then suddenly flies off with a Shooting Star Press! Mark flies through the air and crashes down right on top of Billy, causing the table to basically explode upon the impact! Both men fall with the rubble, with Mark laid out across Billy.

JR: OH MY GOD! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOVE!

King: I called it.. they're dead! They both have to be dead!

After a few moments of neither man moving, suddenly Mark sits up out of the rubble, and stumbles up to his feet. Mark then grabs Billy by the hair and pulls him to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Mark then slides in as well and covers Billy, 1.. 2.. 3. NO! Billy kicks out just before the three. Mark looks like he can't even believe it, and shoves Billy down to the mat, and those time hooks both of the legs as well, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out again! Mark then quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs the steel chair and slides it back in. Mark then gets back into the ring and grabs the steel chair with one hand and then turns to face Billy. Mark then turns to see Billy on is knees, just sitting in the middle of the ring, as blood pours down his face and he seems to try to get up. Mark then walks over with his steel chair in one hand and grabs Billy by the hair with his other hand to pull him up. As Mark grabs him, suddenly Billy quickly snatches Mark and rolls him right into a small package pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!! The pin breaks up right after the three and Mark just lays there and shock as Billy pops to his feet and holds arms high in the air, but after a moment just stumbles back down to his knees then falls down to the mat.

JR: Oh my God! Can ya believe it?!? Billy's running on empty, but he just pulled out another pinfall to tie this up!

King: NO! This can't be right! Mark's only got 5 minutes left... we're 85 minutes in and unless Mark can get another point, he doesn't win the title!

JR: That's right King, it's tied 6 to 6. If Billy gets another point he wins and keeps the title. But if it goes to a draw, Billy still gets to keep the title. Mark has to get another point if he wants to win this World title. And with only 5 minutes left I don't know if he can do it.

Mark sits there in complete shock for a moment, before quickly reaching over and grabbing the steel chair he had once again. Mark then waits as Billy pulls himself back up again, and then Billy turns around to a steel chair shot right to the face!!! Billy just falls back down to the mat, and Mark takes the edge of the steel chair, and starts to ram it right into the right knee of Billy. Mark then sets up the steel chair on Billy's knee, and then uses the bottom rope to springboard and then jumps down and stomps right on top of the steel chair, which crunches the knee of Billy. Billy grabs his knee and tries to roll away from Mark as he pushes the chair from off his leg. Mark then picks the chair back up, and as Billy lays on his side, holding his knee, Mark nails him with a chair shot right across the back! Mark then pulls Billy up by the hair and tosses him at the ropes, and Billy hooks the ropes with his arms to hold himself up. Mark then runs to the other side of the ring and bounces off the far ropes. Billy then comes off from his side and goes at Mark as Mark comes bouncing back, but Mark runs straight at Billy, nailing a huge chair shot right to his face!!! Billy takes the shot right in the face, and the impact causes him to do a full backflip from the shot, crashing down on his stomach, as the sound of the steel chair shot echoes through the arena! Mark drops down and rolls Billy onto his back, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out again!

King: What?!? How'd he kick out?!? That's not possible!

JR: This kid's got a lot of heart, and he's not about to let that World title go.

King: Well he might have to! Otherwise Mark might just have to kill him to win that title!

JR: Well we're now at 87 minutes! If Billy can hold on for 3 more minutes, he gets to keep the gold.

Mark gets up, as he becomes visibly frustrated. Mark grabs the chair again, and as Billy slowly attempts to get up, Mark just cracks him right up against the skull with the chair shot! Mark then drops the chair on the ground and pulls Billy up to his feet. He then quickly pulls Billy in, and drills him with a single arm DDT right onto the chair. Mark rolls Billy onto his back and covers him, 1.. 2.. Billy still manages to kick out!!! Mark then gets up and looks down at Billy for a few moments, and then grabs the steel chair. Mark waits as Billy is slowly getting back up, and suddenly Hot Stuff starts to climb up top, with the steel chair in his hand. Mark stands on the top turnbuckle, clutching the steel chair with both hands and waits, as Billy is very slowly getting back to his feet. Billy finally reaches his feet, and Mark flies of the top rope, and comes down with a flying steel chair shot right to the face of Billy!!! Billy gets knocked flat out on the mat and doesn't move, as Mark quickly hooks the leg for the pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: WOO HOO! Mark gets another point! It's over now! There's only one minute left!

JR: Billy's gotta gain a point here in the next 60 seconds, or his title is gone.

Mark gets up and starts to celebrate as the fans are erupting into boos. Mark jumps up onto the turnbuckle and taunts the crowd and receives even more boos. Mark then hops down and leans back in the turnbuckle, as we watches Billy. Billy slowly begins to crawl, pulling himself across the ring to where Mark is. Billy eventually reaches Mark's feet and then uses Mark's legs to pull himself up to his knees. Billy then looks up at Mark, and Billy grabs him and pulls himself up, slowly using Mark's body. Billy then finally gets himself to his feet, but is too weak to even raise his arm, and Mark just flashes a wide smile at him. Billy attempts to throw a punch, but Mark blocks it and just pushes Billy back, and Billy stumbles back and then falls to his knees, when suddenly the buzzer blares loudly through the arena! Billy's head just drops to the mat as he hears the sound and Mark's smile begins wider.

King: WOO HOO! It's over! 90 minutes are up and with a score of 7 to 6, Hot Stuff Mark Wad is our new GCW World Heavyweight champion!!!

JR: Billy just didn't have enough to do anything at the end. Mark literally took Billy apart with that steel chair, and Billy is completely weakened. And if that wasn't even, Billy has clearly lost a helluva lot of blood.

King: Yeah... I think it's time to get some EMTs out here for Billy. This doesn't look too good.

Billy pulls himself to his feet again, and is barely able to stand up. The referee then comes in, to hand the title to Mark, and as Mark is about to grab it, he suddenly turns towards Billy and nails him with another Red Hot! Mark then picks up the steel chair, and starts to ruthlessly just beat Billy with the chair over and over again, nailing Billy with shots all over his body!

JR: This is sick! Someone has to stop this!

King: Who?!? I think all of the other PC members probably don't even know what's going on.

JR: Well we know Adam Rich has been taken to the local hospital, and Jordan Williams was being checked out in the back by our EMTs. Who the hell is gonna come out here and stop this?!?

Suddenly the fans erupt into cheers as Edge runs down the ramp full speed. Edge slides right into the ring and charges at Hot Stuff from behind. Mark turns around just in time to see Edge, and he quickly jumps out of the way and Edge goes flying  shoulder-first right into the steel post. Edge goes stumbling out and Hot Stuff then nails him right in the face with a steel chair shot, which sends Edge falling back through the ropes out of the ring. Hot Stuff then takes Billy again, picks him up a bit, and then nails him with another shot right across the face. Billy then falls back down to the mat again in a heap, and Mark continues to pound away at Billy with the steel chair. Suddenly "Cocky" by Kid Rock plays, and the fans erupt into cheer as Jordan "PS" Williams bursts out through the curtain, heavily bandaged. Jordan storms down the ring, and then slides into the ring. Jordan heads right towards Billy, and Mark quickly backs off, and drops the chair as Jordan goes over and checks on Billy. Jordan then grabs Billy by the arm, and helps him up, as he just glares at Mark, and Mark returns a stare back to him. Suddenly Edge slides back into the ring and charges right at Mark. Mark notices Edge coming at the last moment and turns towards him just in time to receive a spear!!! Mark quickly rolls out of the ring after the shot, and the referee runs over and hands Hot Stuff the GCW World Heavyweight Championship belt. Mark holds the belt high in the air, as the referee raises his arm and "Lay Your Hands on Me" plays. The fans boo extremely loud, as Mark has a wide grin on his face. Back in the ring, Jordan Williams and Edge each grab Billy under an arm, and help him back up. They then help him out of the ring and up the ramp.

JR: I can't believe it! What an amazing night! That's all for Bad Blood folks... we'll see you next week on Mauling!!!

« on: February 17, 2013, 03:41:13 PM »
 After this shocking outcome, Hot Stuff was left so upset that he completely disappeared from GCW for the coming weeks.  That is until one day, the Perfection Connection found themselves being jumped by The Corporation until Hot Stuff made his surprise return and helped to save his friends.  As the brawl cleared the ring, Hot Stuff and Billy James were the only two left in the ring at which point Hot Stuff, in a shocking turn of events, turned to his friend and laid him out in the middle of the ring with the Red Hot.  A week later, Billy James was set to have a World title defense against Corporation-member Damien Diamond.  With a back and forth match ensuing between both men ongoing, members from both the Corporation and Perfection Connection got involved, with Hot Stuff using the opportunity to take Billy out once again, ultimately causing Billy to be pinned for the very first time in his wrestling career, costing him both the match and the GCW Championship.  Billy was greatly angered, but decided to get his own title situation in order, as the first thing he did is immediately demanded his rematch and managed to recapture the GCW Championship.  Billy then turned right around and granted Mark his own title rematch that he was stilled owed, setting the two former friends and now great enemies to face off in the main event of the next pay per view event, Bad Blood.  As the feud between these two heated up more and more with each passing show, it was decided that these two would put on a match that would surpass anything ever done in GCW prior to that, as they were scheduled to face off in a No Disqualifications, 90-Minute Iron Man match.

« on: February 17, 2013, 03:39:23 PM »
 The lights dim in the arena as the PA system comes alive as a voice says "It's Time to Play Game". The fans erupt into boos as Motorhead's "The Game" plays and Triple H walks out into the arena. Triple H is wearing a pair of black adidas workout pants and has on a referee's shirt with the sleeves torn off. Triple H has a bottle of water in his hand and poors it over his head before stalking down the ramp. Triple H gets to the bottom of the ramp and takes another swig of water before walking up the steel steps and across the ramp. Triple H then raises his arms in the air and spits out a mist of water in which the fans respond to with even louder boos. Triple H then climbs into the ring and waits as the lights come back up and his music stops.

JR: Triple H the special guest referee here, in a very controversial decision by the CEO Craig Suchodolski.

King: Controversial?!? What's so controversial about that? Craig simply assigned Triple H as the referee in order to keep this match fair. You know that there's a lot of people who like to take shots at the two competitors in this match, Triple H is here to make sure that doesn't happen.

JR: Yeah right, King. I'm sure that's it.

Suddenly, without warning, "Hotter Than Hell" by KISS begins to pump out through the arena's PA system at a deafening volume. The male fans in the arena suddenly become pumped up and get to their feet as they realize what that music always signifies. Suddenly the male fans erupt into cheers, hoots, hollers and catcalls when, Kristen Hayes walks out from the back and makes her way down the ramp. Kristen is wearing a white baby-tee with a black leather miniskirt and black high heel boots. She slowly walks down the ramp with a smile on her face, as she walks down to the ring, ignoring all the men who reach out, hoot and holler at her. She climbs up the steel steps and climbs into the ring between the bottom and second rope. She then gets a microphone from someone at ringside and begins her introductions.

Kristen Hayes: Everyone... if I may have your attention please!!! At this time, I would like to introduce to all of you, hailing from Miami, Florida, he measures in at a perfectly precise six feet and one inch tall and weighs in at a lean, masculine, muscular two hundred and thirty seven pounds of pure beefcake!

The PA system comes alive with the opening chords of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and the entire arena raises to their feet as they watch the top of the ramp intently.

Kristen Hayes: He is the hottest, the best looking and, of course, the most beautiful man in the history of Global Championship Wrestling and the entire world! He is also, without a doubt, the best damn wrestler to ever step foot inside of an GCW ring and is a member and co-founder of the illustrious Perfection Connection! And tonight he is the challenger to the GCW World Heavyweight Championship. He is, "Beautiful".. Billy.. James!!!!

The fans then explode into deafening cheers at the announcement just as "Beautiful" Billy James steps out through the curtain into the arena. The fans begin to cheer even louder as they actually see Billy. James is wearing a black wrestling singlet with a red trim, red knee pads with a black trim, black boots with red laces and black grappling gloves with long black elbow pads that reach down the gloves and his trademark dark sunglasses. James walks to the edge of the stage right at the top of the ramp and then stops. James then does a double bicep pose and the girls in the arena start to shriek with delight as red pyros flare off straight up from either side of James. James then gives a bit of a smirk and a huge red pyro explodes behind him! Billy then grins widely as he lowers his arms and then strikes a bit of a pose with a huge smile on his face. Billy then stops what he's doing and continues on, continuing to walk down the ramp. As James reaches the bottom of the ramp he quickly leaps up onto the steel steps. As James slowly climbs the steps he looks over at a group of young female fans that are seated in the front row ringside and winks at the girls. The girls go insane as James leaps onto the apron, with a big smile on his face. James then stands on the apron and turns toward the crowd and strikes another bicep pose and the women in the arena once again shriek James then lowers his arms, and mouths something to a few women in the front row who then go absolutely insane. Billy then stops and rolls over the ropes backwards into the ring, landing on his feet. James then runs over and quickly leaps onto the turnbuckle and strikes another double bicep pose as the women continue to go insane. James once again lowers his arms and this time he rubs his chest a bit as the women shriek loudly over it. He then continues on to leap down from the turnbuckle with a giant smirk on his face as he laughs to himself. Billy then walks over to Triple H and glares at him. Billy then takes off his sunglasses and stares right into Triple H's eyes and then tosses his sunglasses at Triple H and turns and walks over to his corner. Triple H takes the sunglasses and throws them out of the ring and glares at Billy.

JR: Obviously some tension between the challenger and the referee here.

King: Well Billy better get his act together, Triple H is in charge here!

Suddenly, a drum beat starts to play for about a minute, but nothing happens, no one appears. All of a sudden the Words "Lay your hands on me" are repeated. A huge guitar rift starts to play as this pyro’s explode either side of the stage. Bon Jovi’s "Lay Your Hands On Me" Starts to boom through the speakers.

Kristen Hayes: And his opponent, hailing from London, England, he also measures in at a perfectly precise six feet and one inch tall and weighs in at a strong, sleek two hundred and forty pounds. He is one of the greatest pure athletes to step inside a wrestling ring and one of the hottest men in the world, and he is also a member of the illustrious Perfection Connection! He is the GCW World Heavyweight Champion... "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward!!!

The fans erupt into cheer as the smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage wearing his GCW World Heavyweight Championship belt around his waste! He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyro’s to explode behind him and the fans cheer louder! Hot Stuff is wearing his usual tight black shorts with HS on the back and black boots. His GCW World title sparkles around his waist as he slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance, causing them to shriek with delight. As Ward reaches the bottom of the ramp, he then walks up the steel steps onto the apron. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before running and jumping on to the ropes in the corner, his arms held high in the air. After the introductions are complete Kristen climbs out of the ring and leaves to the back as Hot Stuff's music stops playing. The fans start a chant of "P-C! P-C! P-C!" and Billy and Mark stand there with big smiles on their faces as they look around. Billy and Mark go to play up to the crowd more but Triple H becomes furious and just calls for the bell.

"Beautiful" Billy James vs "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward
GCW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Special Guest Referee Triple H


As the bells rings Billy and Mark slowly walk to the center of the ring until they're standing nose to nose. The two men stare each other down for a moment before the suddenly extend their hands and shake to a huge ovation from the crowd! Billy and Mark then both smile and then both turn their heads and look at the special referee Triple H. Triple H walks right up to the both of them and tells them to start fighting! Suddenly both men turn and each nail Triple H with right hands!

King: AH! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!? HE'S THE REFEREE!

JR: They're jumping him before he could jump them!

King: Oh shutup, JR!

Triple H goes stumbling back against the ropes and the two men then nail a double clothesline to send him over the top and the fans go insane! Mark and Billy then play up to the fans a little more before they meet back in the center of the ring. The two men hesitate a moment before they finally lock up into a collar and elbow tieup. The two men struggle back and forth, trying to gain position when suddenly Triple H slides back into the ring and charges in right at them and knocks them both down. Both men get right back to their feet and get into Triple H's face. The three men argue intensely until finally Hot Stuff stops and turns around to leave while Billy still remains in Triple H's face. Triple H then pushes Billy back, and he goes stumbling into Ward, knocking him down. Mark instantly springs right back to his feet and turns and glares at Billy. Billy tries to explain but suddenly Mark nails him right in the face with a right hand! Billy then nails Mark with a right of his own and suddenly the two men start to brawl back and forth!!!

King: HERE WE GO!

JR: I don't agree with the means, but at least this match is finally underway.

Billy and Mark begin to brawl back and forth until Mark gains the upper hand and backs Billy into the corner with repeated right hands. Mark then nails a forearm shot to the face of Billy and then chops him across the chest. Mark then uses all his power and whips Billy across the ring full speed into the opposite corner. Billy hits the turnbuckle and comes bouncing right back out from the impact. Mark then runs in at him and nails Billy with a cross body block, taking him down. Mark quickly grabs Billy's leg for the cover and Triple H slowly makes his way in position and doesn't even get a one count before Billy kicks out. Mark gets up and gets in Triple H's face, arguing with him over the call. Billy begins to get up as Mark is still arguing and suddenly rolls Mark up from behind for a pin! Triple H then looks down for a moment before slowly getting down to make a count, as Triple H raises his arm to begin to make a count, Mark kicks out.

JR: Oh what the hell is this? Helmsley's not even counting the pins!

King: Sure he is JR. He's just making sure that the shoulders are actually on the mat and there's nobody using the ropes or anything. You know how many cheap wins there are in the GCW, he's just making sure that happens tonight. And once he's satisfied and goes to make a count, they seemed to kick out! That's not HIS fault!

JR: I got an idea King. You can go pack some bags for you and Hunter 'cause in my opinion, you can both go to hell!

King: What?!?

Billy glares at Triple H as he slowly picks Mark up. With Billy's attention elsewhere, Mark takes advantage and nails a right hand to the gut of Billy to release his grip on him. Mark then shoots Billy into the ropes and as he bounces back, he takes Billy over with a hiptoss. Billy then suddenly does a kipup to his feet and turns around and charges at Mark. Mark ducks down for a back body drop but Billy rolls onto Mark's back and lands on his feet behind Billy. Mark then turns around as Billy spins around with a crescent kick, knocking Mark down and then leaps up and nails a spinning legdrop across the throat of Mark. Billy then gets up, runs to the far ropes and bounces off. As he comes back Billy leaps right over Mark onto the top rope and springboards off with a corkscrew moonsault! Mark quickly rolls out of the way and Billy goes crashing to the mat! Billy slowly stumbles back up and Mark quickly runs over, grabs him by the head and executes a tornado DDT! Mark then leaps up onto the top rope and flies off nailing Billy with a big elbow drop! Mark then hooks Billy's leg and Triple H slides over and makes the count, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out.

King: See that? What was wrong with that count.

JR: Strangely enough absolutely nothing.

King: Once those two jerks finally stopped getting into Triple H's face, he was finally able to do his job.

Mark climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and waits as Billy slowly gets to his feet. As Billy stands, Mark leaps from the top rope for a hurrancanrana. As Billy sees Mark he quickly ducks his head down, avoiding the move and Mark lands with his back against Billy's. As Mark lands, Billy quickly grabs Mark from under his arms and pulls him right up into the Beauty Bomb! Triple H gets into position for the count, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Billy then waits for Mark to get to his feet and as he does Billy goes for his variation of a superkick, the Sexy Shot! Mark quickly sidesteps it and Billy's leg goes right on top of the top rope, and before Billy can get himself free, Mark clips Billy's other knee and Billy falls down to his back. Billy then rolls backwards back up to his feet and charges at Mark, but Mark takes him over with an armdrag. Billy lands hard and comes right back up to his feet and charges at Mark again who takes him over with another armdrag. Billy gets up again and charges at Mark a third time, but this time when Mark goes to grab him for the armdrag, Billy floats over behind Mark. Mark quickly spins around and Billy pulls him in for his front face DDT, the Dazzling Driver! Billy quickly rolls Mark onto his back and covers him, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Billy gets up and with Mark still down on the mat Billy runs to the ropes and springboards off with the Sexy Splash! Mark rolls out of the way and Billy lands on his back and rolls right back to his feet. Billy then charges at Mark, but Mark leap frogs him and Billy goes bouncing off the far ropes. As Billy bounces back, Mark catches him with a sleeperhold. Billy quickly wiggles out to the side of it and hooks Mark up for a back suplex. Billy lifts Mark up for it, and Mark flips through it, landing on his feet behind Billy. He then quickly grabs Billy from behind, hooks him up and hits the Heat Seaker, his variation of the old school expulsion! Hot Stuff quickly hooks his leg for the pin, 1.. 2.. but Billy barely kicks out before the three!

JR: These two are kicking out of each other's trademark moves left and right. First the Dazzling Driver, now the Heat Seaker!

King: Well both men said they knew the other well. They were prepared for this stuff!

JR: That's very true, King.

Mark grabs Billy by the hair and begins to pull him up. Billy quickly lays in repeated forearm shots to the ribs of Mark, causing him to release his grip. Billy then gets up and kicks Mark in the gut with a hard shot. As Mark is doubled over Billy begins to hook up his arms for the BeautiBreaker. As he does, Mark stands up straight, lifting Billy up and causing him to do a backflip over Mark. Billy lands on his feet behind Mark and quickly grabs him with a waistlock and takes him over with a huge german suplex that sends Mark completely flipping over landing on his front side! Billy then gets to his feet and bounces off the ropes as Mark starts to stumble back up to his feet. Billy leaps up and goes for the Beauty Buster on Mark! As Billy puts his leg over Mark's head, Hot Stuff quickly lifts his head up and it causes Billy to flip backwards, countering out of the move. Hot Stuff ends up flipping Billy backwards. Billy lands on his feet and tries to regain his balance but Hot Stuff quickly levels him with a falling clothesline. Mark then gets up and Billy slowly stumbles back to his feet and as he turns around, Mark blasts him right in the chin with the Red Hot!!!

JR: RED HOT! IT'S THE RED HOT!

Mark quickly drops down and covers Billy. Billy drapes his left leg over the ropes right away. Triple H looks and sees Billy's leg on the rope and just shrugs and then drops down and makes the count, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

JR: WHAT THE HELL?!? Triple H just screwed Billy James!

King: What are you talking about?!?

JR: Triple H saw Billy's foot on the rope and just counted anyway! He doesn't give a crap, he just does what he damn well pleases!

Mark gets up and begins to celebrate when he suddenly sees Billy's foot on the rope. As Triple H is about to call for the bell Mark grabs his arm and stops him from doing so. Mark then gets in his face and starts to argue with him.

Mark: What the hell is this crap? His f**king foot is on the rope! I don't wanna win like this!

Triple H: Fine! See what the hell I care. Keep going on with the match... dumbass.

Mark turns back around and Billy quickly grabs him and rolls him into a small package! Triple H drops down to count, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out! Both men get back to their feet and Billy leaps right up and nails Mark with the Charasmatic Kick, sending him stumbling back into the corner! Billy then runs over and places Mark onto the top rope and then climbs up with him. Billy goes to hook Mark up for a superplex but Mark pushes him off and Billy goes crashing to the mat! As Billy gets back up Mark leaps off from the top rope and nails Billy with a top rope bulldog!!! Mark then gets back up as Billy is laid out in the ring. As Billy slowly gets back to his feet Mark measures him up and stands in a ready position. As soon as Billy reaches his feet Mark takes a step forward toward him and then goes for the Red Hot! Billy quickly drops down to the mat and Mark ends up nailing Triple H with the Red Hot!!!

JR: I can't believe it! Hot Stuff just accidentally hit Triple H with the Red Hot!

King: Accident nothing! Hot Stuff intentionally hit Triple H with that damn Red Hot... I can't believe him!

Mark looks at Triple H for a moment with shock as he is laid out in the ring. Mark then turns around right into the Sexy Shot from Billy!! Billy then quickly runs over to the ropes and leaps right up onto the top. Billy looks around the arena with a big smile on his face and then looks back down at Mark. Billy then leaps off the top rope with a 450 splash, the Perfect Plunge! Mark rolls out of the way and Billy crashes to the mat hard. Mark gets back to his feet as Billy stumbles right back up. Mark quickly cuts Billy in the gut and pulls him in and nails him with the Hotter than Hell!!! Hot Stuff then once again stands in his ready position, waiting as Billy is still laid out on the mat. Suddenly Triple H pulls himself up back behind Mark. Triple H comes up from behind him and quickly spins him around and nails him with a boot to the gut. Triple H then pulls Mark in, hooks him up and nails him with the Pedigree!!!

JR: WHAT THE HELL?!?

King: Payback's a bitch! Hot Stuff used his Red Hot on Triple H so now Triple H Pedigree's Hot Stuff!

JR: That was an accident and you damn well know it!

Triple H looks down at both men with a look of disgust and then begins a very fast ten count. Hearing the fast ten count both men quickly try to push themselves back to their feet. Triple H stops the count just as he gets to nine as Billy is nearly to his feet. As Billy gets up, Mark is still hunched over getting back up and Billy runs over and jumps up and nails him with the Beauty Buster!!! Billy hooks the leg for the cover and Triple H drops down for the count, 1.. 2.. 3!!!

King: Billy James is the new champion! He's the World Champion!

JR: I can't believe it! I don't think he even realizes what's happened here.

King: I know he doesn't! He was knocked out cold from that Hotter than Hell.

Triple H gets the GCW World Championship and hands it to Billy James. Triple H then just walks out of the ring and walks out to the back. Billy looks at the belt with a look of delight on his face and the leaps up onto the turnbuckle and holds the title belt high in the air. Billy then climbs down and walks over to where Hot Stuff is. Billy grabs Mark by the arm and pulls him to his feet. Billy reaches his hand out to shake hands with Mark. Mark slaps Billy's hand away and then pushes Billy away before sliding out of the ring and leaving to the back. Billy stands there with a complete look of shock as he watches Hot Stuff walk away.

JR: "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward was screwed out of his World title and Billy James doesn't know a damn thing about it!

King: Billy went to congratulate his partner on the great match and accepted the same in return, but all he got was a push away. Billy has no idea what's happened and he must be wondering what the hell is going on.

JR: I imagine that's the case. Well we'll see what happens when Billy James finds out what actually happened... we'll see you next week for Mauling!!!

Character Building Roleplays / Hot Stuff Mark Ward and "Beautiful" Billy James
« on: February 17, 2013, 03:35:44 PM »
 To get to the beginning of this story, we need to go back many, many years, to a wrestling company known as Global Championship Wrestling (GCW) and a group of superstars known by the name of the Perfection Connection (PC).  This group featured a number of names that will be familiar to those here in SCW, as it included not only both Hot Stuff Mark Ward and "Beautiful" Billy James, but also Jordan "PS" Williams and Shane Boswell, as well as a few other names who may be familiar to some of you, such as Edge, Adam Rich, Paul Breland, and Matt Grove.  It is this group which is how Mark and Billy first came to know one another, brought together by their common friend Jordan.  Jordan knew Billy from their days in All-Star Fantasy Wrestling (ASFW) together, when the two of them originally founded the Perfection Connection.  All the while, Jordan was training Mark to become a wrestler and eventually coming together with him in the dominant tag team of Hot 'n' Sexy.  Once PC was reformed in GCW, Mark was the very first name Jordan recommended to bring into the new version of the group.

For quite some time this group simply dominated throughout GCW, capturing a variety of different titles throughout its membership that is a list too long to get into here.  The one title reign that really started this story off was when Hot Stuff defeated wrestling legend Austin Parker in order to capture his first World Heavyweight Championship.  From there, Hot Stuff continued on an extremely successful reign throughout GCW, defeating challenger after challenger.  That is until, one day, things took a very interesting turn.  Hot Stuff's title reign was taking place in the midst of a strong feud between PC and their rival stable, The Corporation, led by GCW CEO Craig Suchodolski.  Given this situation, Craig took it upon himself to name a title match for GCW's upcoming pay-per-view event, Wrestle War 2002, pitting Hot Stuff up against his friend and stablemate, Billy James.  Hot Stuff's father and GCW Co-Owner showed up and in order to keep things on the level, insisted that all Corporation members be banned from the arena during this match.  However, Craig came up with a response of his own and in another interesting twist, named Corporation mainstay Triple H as the special guest referee for this match.  There became a lot of questions leading up to this event about what exactly was to be expected to happen with this volatile situation.  See for yourselves:

Climax Control Archives / Memory is a Funny Thing
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:17:28 PM »
 The scene opens up inside of near empty gym somewhere in Nevada, with the one thing there to draw your attention is a wrestling ring setup in the center of it.  Inside of the ring are two very familiar faces, as SCW superstars and longtime friends "Beautiful" Billy James and Jordan "PS" Williams are seen in the midst of a battle in the ring with one another.  As the shot moves in closer, a better view is gotten of what exactly is going on between the two men.

Billy goes rushing in at Jordan, who takes him over with an arm drag, however Billy manages to roll right through the move back to his feet and as Jordan moves back in at Billy, Billy counters with an arm drag of his own.  Jordan also rolls through the move and with both men back up at their feet, they charge in at each other.  Jordan drops down to the mat just before they reach one another and Billy goes sprinting right over him and hits the ropes.  Jordan leaps back up as Billy shoots back at him and this time Jordan leapfrogs Billy, who then goes off to the far ropes.  Billy springs back again, and this time Jordan ducks down for a backdrop, but Billy sees it coming and flips over Jordan and tries to bring him over with a sunset flip.  Jordan rolls straight through the move, bringing him right back up to his feet.  Jordan goes to move in at Billy, who is now down on the mat, but Billy quick hits a kip-up back to his feet.  With both men now face to face, they quickly lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up and the two men start to struggle back and forth for position.  Each time on of them seems to gain leverage, the other seems to quickly get it back, as the two men continue to go back and forth.  After a short while of this continuing on, it is suddenly interrupted as the bell is suddenly heard ringing.  The two men break off their lock-up and turn to the ringside area, where Kristen stands next to the ring bell.

Billy:  What was that all about?

Kristen:  You two have been going on like that for near 30 minutes now, going back and forth with neither of you actually hitting a move on the other and never stopping for a single second the entire time to even catch your breath.  It's break time boys.

Billy:  Ah, whatever.

Kristen takes two towels she has in her hands and tosses one each to Billy and Jordan.  As the two men start to wipe themselves down, Jordan turns towards Billy.

Jordan:  We might not have to like it, but that lady of yours probably has a point.

Kristen:  See Billy?  Listen to Jordan, he's a smart man.

Jordan gets a big grin on his face upon hearing that, as Billy shoots a quick glare at him.

Kristen:  You boys rest, I'll go grab you a couple of waters.

Billy:  Thanks, hun.

Kristen walks off to go grab the waters as Jordan and Billy both finishing using their towels and toss them out to the ringside floor.  They then each climb through the ropes and take a seat on the ring apron.

Billy:  I know why you think she was right.

Jordan:  Oh really?  This should be good.

Billy gets a big smile on his face before proceeding.

Billy:  Because I had you right where I wanted you, and you know it.  The tide was about to turn my friend.

Jordan:  Sure it was buddy.

Jordan pats Billy on the back as both men cannot help but laugh.  As they both stop laughing, it quickly becomes very quiet throughout the entire gym.  After a few moments of somewhat awkward silence, it is broken as Jordan speaks again.

Jordan:  So I've got to ask, what made you ask me to come here and work with you?

Billy:  What kind of question is that?  Let's be honest, I've got some ring rust to shake off, so I needed somebody to work with.  Who else around here was I going to ask?  Mark's two drunken idiot cousins?

Jordan:  Believe it or not, Shane is actually pretty sober most of the times these days.

Billy looks at Jordan with an expression of disbelief, seeming unsure if Jordan is messing him while still somewhat shocked by the response.

Billy:  You're kidding me, right?

Jordan:  No man, seriously.  Of course I should qualify that by saying all of that goes straight out the window the second Matt is around, but since he's not actually in SCW, that doesn't happen all too often.

Billy:  Wow, go figure.  Never would have guessed that.  You learn something new ever day, huh?

Jordan:  Guess so.  So is that really the only reason, it was either me or the drunks?

Billy lets out a chuckle before responding.

Billy:  Come on now, you know I didn't mean it like that.  I knew you would give me a challenge and keep me on my toes, that counts for a lot.

Jordan:  While I appreciate that, you know you'll have to find a different challenger to get you going for your next match, right?

Billy:  Oh, will I?  Whatever do you mean?

Billy attempts to put on a look of innocence, but Jordan is clearly unconvinced as he simply gives a disapproving head shake towards Billy.

Jordan:  Nice try funny guy, but I told you I wasn't getting involved in the little spat between you and Mark.

Billy:  You seriously call a ten plus year feud a "little spat"?

Jordan:  Call it whatever you want, all I'm saying is you're going to keep me out of it, and that includes helping either one of you train for the match.

Billy:  Fair enough man, but that's all the more reason to get your help this week.  Besides, if there's anyone around here who knows Casey Williams well, it's got to be you.

Jordan:  Maybe, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.  The Casey I teamed with is a very different guy than the Casey you'll be facing on Sunday.

Billy:  Who knows.  He always seemed like a decent enough guy to me.  Sure, it seems like something may have snapped with him recently, but that's got more to do with whatever beef he's got with Spike and all of them than anything to do with me.  Casey's got no reason to have anything against me, we've got no history at all, so I'm not too worried about it.

Jordan:  You two may not have a history, so there may not be anything personal there, but that doesn't mean Casey won't try to tear you apart just the same.  That dude is a lot bigger and more powerful than either one of us, don't forget that.  I'm just saying, you might want to be careful man.

Billy:  It's still a wrestling match.  It's not like I'm expecting him to go out there, shake my hand and lay down on the mat for me.  I'll be ready for a fight, but there's a difference between that and being paranoid because of his issues with a whole other group of guys.

Jordan:  I suppose we'll see.

At that point, the doors leading into the gym open up and Kristen returns with two bottles of water and tablet computer in her hands.  She walks straight over to both men, handing each a water bottle before turning her attention towards Billy.

Kristen:  Sorry for the hold-up, but I came across something you might want to see.  Casey cut a promo about you regarding your match this week and well... why don't you just take a look for yourself.

Billy:  Alright, let's check it out.

Billy takes the tablet computer from Kristen and from there, starts streaming an online video of Casey's promo from earlier in the week.  As Billy watches on, his eyes seem to widen a bit as he hears some of the things coming from Casey.  As it comes to an end, Billy puts the tablet down as Jordan turns towards his friend.

Jordan:  That's what I was trying to tell you, man.  It doesn't matter who you are or what you have or haven't done, he's taking his aggressions out on anyone and everyone, and you're next up in the queue as far as he's concerned.

Billy:  I guess you're right.  So be it then, this is hardly the first time I've dealt with someone bigger than me, or a complete nutjob either.  The guy has clearly changed quite a bit and I'll be ready for it.

Jordan:  That's the right attitude.

Billy:  Don't get me wrong, I don't think I have any reason to be worried.  Regardless of the situation, I won't be letting my guard down from the moment I step in that ring.  I never have before and I'm certainly not going to start now.  You don't win 4 World Championships that way you know.

Jordan:  How long have you been waiting for another chance to tout that fact again?  10 years?

Billy turns to Jordan with a big smile on his face, choosing not to even address Jordan's question.

Billy:  Twice undefeated, as you may recall.

Jordan:  Yeah, yeah.  I know, I was there.

Billy:  Just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten.  Age does that to people sometimes.

Jordan:  Look at you funny guy, like you have much room to talk.  You've been out of this ring far longer than I have.

Billy:  Maybe so, but either one of us can still put a beating on any of these little kids.

Jordan chuckles at Billy's comment.

Jordan:  I know I can, but we'll still have to see about you.

Billy:  If you don't believe me, just ask your buddy Nick about that.

Jordan laughs while shaking his head at Billy for his last comment.  Both men then pop open their water bottles and begin to drink as the scene cuts away.

<hr width=50%>

The scene opens up inside of a hotel room in Carson City, Nevada.  Inside of the room, Billy James is seen sitting at the top of the bed, leaning up against the wall as he stares at the television, which is currently playing tape of some of Casey Williams' prior SCW matches.  As Billy stares intently at the television, scouting out his upcoming opponent, the door to the bathroom opens up and out steps Kristen.  Upon closer look, Kristen is wearing a stunning new dress and has her hair and makeup all done up as she just finishes putting on her earrings.  Kristen walks out from the bathroom and walks right over next to the television, standing there for a few moments as she waits for Billy to divert his attention towards her.  It takes a few more moments, but eventually Billy's eyes move forward.  Billy looks her up and down, and nods his head approvingly before speaking.

Billy:  Wow, you look amazing, Kris.

Kristen:  Thank you very much, I certainly tried.

Kristen spins around to show herself off, much to Billy's approval.

Kristen:  So are you going to go change?

Billy looks down at himself to see he is currently wearing simple a t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts.  Yet still, Billy looks up at Kristen rather confused.

Billy:  Huh?

Kristen scowls at Billy before responding.

Kristen:  You're kidding, right?

Billy seems to be only more confused before he responds.

Billy:  What are you talking about?  I figured you had some sort of other plans you were dressed up for.  Am I supposed to be going with you?

Kristen:  You cannot possibly be serious.

Billy:  What?!?  You never said anything to me, that's not my fault!

Kristen:  You know what?!? FINE!!  Just forget it!!

Kristen storms off right towards the door of the hotel room, flinging it open and stepping out into the hallway.  She grabs the door to close it behind her, but looks back inside for just a moment as she snaps back at Billy once more.

Kristen:  Have fun sitting around alone watching videos of half-naked men!  JERK!

Kristen then takes the door and slams it shut so hard it causes items within the room to shake.  Billy seems to be left in complete shock as he stares at the door with his mouth hanging up.

Billy:  What was that all about?  I didn't do anything!

Billy reaches over to the nightstand and grabs his cell phone off of it, seeming ready to make a phone call.  As he turns on the screen of the phone, he looks at it a little closer with an expression on his face that would suggest he is thinking things over.

Billy:  February 14th... why does that sound so damn familiar?  It's not her birthday.  What could it possibly be?

Billy taps his chin as he seems to be thinking it over.

Billy:  February 14th... February 14th...

Billy's eyes suddenly go wide as he comes to a realization.

Billy:  VALENTINE'S!!!

Billy leaps out of his bed, jumping up to his feet as he looks around him, seeming unsure of what to even do with himself.

Billy:  And I actually told her that "I didn't do anything".  Oh man, this is going to hurt even worse than Sunday's match verse Casey!

With that, Billy goes sprinting for the door, running out in a haste to chase after Kristen as the scene fades.

« on: January 19, 2013, 04:43:37 PM »
 The scene opens up inside of a penthouse at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, which currently sits completed darkened with all of the lights off.  A moment later, the door can be heard unlocking and then light comes pouring into the room as the door is opened.  A moment later, the lights all come on and it is seen that walking into the room, their arms filled with bags, are wrestling legend and SCW's newest superstar, "Beautiful" Billy James and his wife, Kristen.  As they walk into the room, it's clear the two of them are continuing on a conversation.

Kristen:  Don't get me wrong, I love it here in Vegas, it's not that.  I'm just not sure this whole thing is such a good idea.

Billy:  I got that, I just don't know why not.  What's the problem?

Kristen:  Look at how great things for us have gone since you left the business.

Billy:  Yeah, but who are you kidding?  You loved it when we were on the road together back in GCW.

Kristen:  Absolutely and I would never say otherwise, but this is... different.  We were together for years while you were wrestling and as much as I had a blast, things have just, I don't know... settled down since then.

Billy:  What are you trying to say?

Kristen:  Honestly?  If you had never stepped away from the business I really don't believe that we would currently be married.

Billy:  Oh come on, you can't be serious with that.

Kristen:  It's true.  All our time together and we never got close to taking that next step while you were in the business.  We didn't even get engaged until after you hung up your boots.

Billy stops for a moment to think over Kristen's claims.

Billy:  I don't know, I guess you might have a point there.  But this is different.

Kristen:  How so?

Billy:  What do you mean how so?  We're already married!

Kristen:  Yeah, but it's not just about being married.  I'm just using that as an example.

Billy:  I know that, but my point is that things are different now that I'm married.  I'm different.  I'm not going to get caught up in all this nonsense like I used to.

Kristen:  Maybe you're right, but that still doesn't make it any less of a concern.  We were talking about having a baby, and that's not something I feel comfortable doing if you're going to be back to wrestling.

Billy:  I'm not going back to anything, babe.  My return to the ring is for one reason and one reason only, and it's to finally take care of this bullshit once and for all.

Kristen:  I have absolutely no doubt that you believe that.  But I know you Billy.  What's to say that your old desire won't come back, and you'll find yourself wanting to go back to wrestling full-time again?  It took you years to get rid of that itch.  Let's not forget, I never wanted you going to those stupid wrestling conventions in the first place because I was afraid it would be the beginning of something, and it would eventually lead you back into the ring.

Billy:  I know, but I told you back then it wouldn't be like that.

Kristen:  Right, and look at us now!

Billy:  It's not like that.  I didn't see a bunch of fans and suddenly need to wrestle again.  I had no want of knowing things would turn out this way, it was just a weird combination of circumstances.  How could I have known that I'd run into that asshole Nick, who happened to have recently made his return to his ring, happened to be in touch with that piece of crap Mark and that I would end up helping him out, only for that dipshit to somehow see that as reason to jump me?  That's how this all started and the only reason we're really standing here.  There's no way I could have seen this coming.

Kristen:  I know that, but I also know that this never would have happened if you never went to that stupid convention.  You and I both know that this is how the wrestling business goes, you can never predict these things but they just happens.  How do you know there won't be some other random thing that you could never see coming?  How do you know that thing won't lead you to have another match, and then another after that, and then before it, you're sticking around and ultimately becoming a full-time wrestling again.  This is a dangerous direction you're ending in here and neither of us know how it will turn out and as long as you're still doing this, the rest of our left is going have to be put on hold.  Why can't you just let this one go Billy?  You've been doing that for years and it's worked out for years.

Billy hesitates for a few seconds before letting out a deep sigh.

Billy:  No, I haven't.

Kristen:  Haven't what?

Billy:  Haven't been letting this go for years.

Kristen:  What the hell are you talking about?

Billy:  I mean sure, I was out of the business for years, but I never was really able to let it all go.  This shit has been haunting me for years.  I mean, think about it.  We were originally going to finally settle this first back in 2004.  It was going to be the biggest match of all and it would finally put this all to an end.  This was over 8 years ago.  What happened?  Before the match could ever take place, GCW closed its doors.

Kristen:  I know?  But you really haven't been able to get past that in all of these years?

Billy:  The problem is it wasn't just that.  This kept taunting me for years because there was always one way or another that the talk of it just wouldn't die.  First there was the GCW Reunion scheduled for 2005, with the first match being booked being me and Mark in the main event, but that never ended up happening.  Then GCW reopened its doors and the first order of business was to have me and Mark back at each other's throats and setting up the match that would finally put this all to bed.  It never happened, as GCW's second run simply didn't last long enough.  Then another GCW Reunion was scheduled for 2010.  There were all sorts of issues and it got pushed back to 2010.  Of course, all along the talk is there being another Hot Stuff / Billy James matchup.  Before you know it, SCW is opening its door and with so many former GCW superstars heading over there, the reunion is cancelled.

Kristen:  Yeah, I guess that's all true.

Billy:  I may have avoided talking about it, but this has been nagging me for years.  Now babe, NOW I finally have the chance.  There's not going to be any cancellations or closures stopping it this time.  Mark may not know it yet, but I WILL get my match and after all of this years, we will settle this once and for all.  But first things first, I have a score to settle this week.  That little scumbag is going to get what he has coming to him while also getting him out of the way as he tries to block my path to getting back at Mark.  That douche has been nagging at me for years now.  He was sticking his nose in our business back when me and Mark were having our GCW / GXW cross-over feud.  Then he's the one who dragged my ass over to SCW, and he's the one who jumped me like the spineless little coward that he is.  I tried to help him out and in the end he proved he's one of the biggest pieces of crap that's ever existed.  It's time that someone teach that son of a bitch a less and since apparently nobody else around here has been able to successfully do that yet, I guess it's time for me to take that upon myself.

Kristen:  This is what I'm talking about.  This return is supposed to be all about Mark, yet you've already got yourself hung up on Nick.

Billy:  This Nick situation will be settled very quickly, I promise you that.  He's a warm-up to get me back in action while getting a little revenge, but most importantly, he's a road block between me and Mark.  That is why he needs to go and this Sunday, I will take care of that so I never have to worry about it again.  Then my sights are set on one and only one thing, Mark.

Kristen:  I hope you're right.

Billy:  Don't worry babe, this won't last long and in the meantime, think about it as a chance to relive some of those old fun times.  We'll have good times the way we used to for a while, enjoy it for a while and then soon enough, we'll get to go back to our life and do everything it is you want to do, including have ourselves the cutest damn baby that ever existed.

Billy then steps in closer before leaning in and giving Kristen a kiss.  He then backs off slightly and smiles at her as she eventually returns a smile.

Kristen:  Alright then, I suppose I can handle that.  I say we kick things off right then, and start having ourselves a little night out the way the Kristen and Billy of old would have.

Billy:  Now THAT sounds like one hell of a plan.  Let's roll.

Billy and Kristen quickly toss their bags off to the side and turn right back toward the door, with Kristen walking out in front of Billy.  Billy then reaches forward and slaps Kristen right on the backside, causing her to jump up a little and turn around and look back at Billy with a big smile and a little giggle before continuing on.  The two head out of the room, closing the door behind them as the scene fades.

<hr width=75%>

The scene opens back up on the casino floor of the Luxor.  The camera is focused on a blackjack table which is surrounded by mostly a group of unfamiliar faces, with the exception of the last two seats at the table being occupied by Billy and Kristen.  As they are in the middle of a hand, the dealer just comes around to Billy, who currently has 11 in his hand.  He slides a second stack of chips back behind the one he already has as he looks to the dealer.

Billy:  Double.

The dealer then pulls one card from the shoe, placing it across the other cards and revealing it to be a King.  Billy does a quick fist pump as he is clearly quite happy by the result, but seems not ready to completely celebrate just yet.  The dealer then moves his attention over to Kristen, who currently has a 17 and puts her hand out over the table as she addresses the dealer.

Kristen: Stay.

The dealer acknowledges Kristen before, with no one else left at the table, he moves onto his own hand.  Dealer turns over his second card to show that he has a 15.  The dealer then pulls another card from the show and turns it over to reveal an 8.

Dealer:  23.  Dealer busts.

Those at the table celebrate their victory, including the man sitting next to Billy turning to high five him, which Billy gladly obliges.  Billy then turns towards Kristen with a smile on his face.

Billy:  Been a long time since we've just had a random night out like this.

Kristen: That is, and I have to admit, it's definitely nice.

Billy:  Couldn't agree more.  Ready for another round?

Kristen looks down at the drink she was currently sipping, seeing that there is still a little bit left, but still nods at Billy.  Billy then puts his hand up, waving down one of the casino waitresses, who is rather scantily clad, as she walks over.  As she gets there, Billy smiles at her as he points down at the glasses in front of him and Kristen.

Billy:  Two more, please.

Waitress:  You got it, honey.

The waitress shoots a smile at Billy before turning and walking away.  Billy can't seem to help himself, as he seems to watch her from behind as he walks away, after a moment of watching and suddenly realizing Kristen is sitting right there, and quickly turns back to her, addressing her rather sheepishly.

Billy:  Yeah, sorry about...

Billy stops himself mid-sentence as he looks at Kristen only to see she is also watching the waitress leave as well.  As she walks out of sight, Kristen turns back to Billy with a smile on her face.  Seeing the confused look on his face, she simply shrugs.

Kristen: What?  We said we were going to have a night like the old days.

Billy laughs and shakes his head for a moment.

Billy:  That we did.

Billy grabs his drink off of the table and holds it up towards Kristen.

Billy:  To a night to remember.

Kristen then raises her glass as well.

Kristen: Or perhaps to forget.

Kristen and Billy both laugh as they then clink their glasses together in cheers, before each finishing off the little amount they had of their last drinks.  As they turn back towards the table, the dealer immediately addresses them.

Dealer:  Your bets?

Given their being distracted, both realize they had never put up bets for the next hangs.  Billy quickly pushes a few chips out onto the table and Kristen goes to do the same, but as she does, she accidentally knows some of her chips off of the table.

Kristen: Aw crap.

Kristen quickly goes after the chips, trying to bend down for them while staying in her seat and in the process, her had manages to plant down right into Billy's lap as she's reaching.  Billy immediately notices the looks he's getting from the rest of the players at the table as well as the dealer given the circumstances.  Given that, Billy tries to get Kristen's attention on the matter.

Billy:  Um... babe?

Kristen seems to be oblivious to the impression that has obviously been given as she continues to reach down for the chips.  Billy then goes to say something else, but is interrupted as suddenly he is approached by an old familiar face who happened to be passing by, former Perfection Connection stablemate and current SCW employee, Shane Boswell.

Shane:  Hey Billy, what's up man?  Where Kr...

Shane stops himself as he sees the answer to the question he was about to ask, noticing where Kristen is currently located.  Shane sees this and chuckles before turning back to Billy.

Shane:  So I see all of these years and even marriage hasn't changed you two at all, huh?

Billy:  No, no... it's nothing like that.  It's just...

Shane:  Uh huh, yeah, sure it isn't.

Kristen immediately pops her head up and apparently she heard the conversation as she seems a bit embarrassed and immediately addresses Shane.

Kristen: No really.  I was just looking for this.

Kristen immediately holds up the chip she was looking for to show Shane.

Shane:  Whatever you guys say.  I've got to run but I'm sure we'll catch up soon.  Welcome back.

With that, Shane lets out a laugh at the situation before him and walks off.  Kristen turns to Billy with an innocent little smile and shrugs her shoulders before turning back to the table and placing the chip down on it, as the dealer then finally starts to deal.  As the dealing is going on, Kristen then turns back to Billy.

Kristen: Obviously you know what I was doing down there, but Shane does make a good point.

Billy:  What's that?

Kristen: It's not like we didn't like having, um... fun, in public back in the old days.  And well, this IS supposed to be a night that we're having like back then, right?

Kristen gives Billy a sly little grin, as he seems to be rather taken back by the insinuation.  However, before he can respond, he suddenly notices something, which catches him off guard.  Billy's reaction immediately grabs Kristen's attention as they both look to see the pit boss simply standing before them on the other side of the table, with his arms folded across his chest and shaking his head at the two of them.

Billy:  So, um... how about this weather, huh?

Getting no reaction from the pit boss, Billy seems to grow even more uncomfortable with the situation.

Billy:  Where are those damn drinks?

Billy is looking all around for the waitress they order their drinks from as the pit boss rolls his eyes at them.  The scene then fades to black.
