[Frost]

 Lucian’s eyelids are heavier than normal, his body tingling and numb all over, Lucian tries to get his bearings but he realises how constricted he really is. Lucian’s knees presses up against his chest, his hands and feet bound together with tape, the muffled sound of running engine can be heard as he tries to get free. Not sure how he had got in such a predicament as the realisation that he’s in a car boot becomes ever so clear. Instead of struggling he tries to find inner powers, nothing seemed to happen, the flickering of lights or the enigmatic way he could escape predicaments like these gone, Lucians eyelids heavy as they flicker closed.

As he opens his eyes again everything seemed wrong, his feet dragging on the concrete floor via his toes, his hands are free but the energy to move is weak, he can see the burly arms of two men carrying him down a long hallway. Lucian closes his eyes for what seemed like a split second, but it must have been another blackout, as he opens them again he is being flung into a small dark room. Landing with a clatter but the numbness of his body couldn’t feel the full force of the impact. Lucian closes his eyes again.

The sound of laughter causes him to flicker his eyes open, the room is still in complete darkness but a shadow of a slender man can be seen in the corner of his eye, Lucian tries to look at who it is but he cannot get a good look at him. The shadowy man kneels down next to the fallen body of Lucian Frost, letting out cackles of laughter; the sound of him taking a bite out of an apple is something Frost can distinctly hear. The shadowy man chews on the bit of apple before swallowing.

“Lucian Frost” the shadowy man murmurs “The supposedly mysterious enigma of Sin City Wrestling” the man snorts “The inaugural Roulette heavyweight champion, one time Tag Team Champion and now a shell of his former self he sniggers “But I had to question something, upon seeing you December, is this truly the Lucian Frost we all know and love?”

Lucian tries to answer the man but is unable to construct a sentence, only mustering  babbled sounds, slightly frustrated he tries to summon his power again but nothing seemed to happen.

“I asked myself, the man who reached the semi-finals of the Super J tournament, the man who formed an unlikely alliance with Kain and almost dominated the tag team scene, the man who defeated or put up a challenge to all that stood before him. Was that the man in the ring at December to Dismember?” the shadowy figure asks aloud “Is that the person who lost the Roulette Championship opportunity, the man who now has a chance to redeem himself at My Bloody Valentine and become a two time champion?”

Lucian tries to focus on the shadowy figure, who still remains knelt down next to his head, his eyes hurting from straining too hard.

”And the answer to all those questions is no, it isn’t” the shadowy figure shakes his head vigorously. “I’m afraid the Lucian Frost who appeared in those contests isn’t Lucian Frost, but an imposter!”

Frost is slightly taken back at what he is hearing, unable to move and speak, he couldn’t defend himself against these wild accusations of not being himself.

“Imagine that, someone who proclaims to be the hardest working cruiserweight, the masked enigma is a fraud!” the shadowy figure giggles “I think it’s time that the REAL Lucian Frost takes back what is rightfully his!

Lucian is unable to prevent the man taking off his infamous mask. The shadowy man steps up and places the mask on. Taking a few steps so he comes into focus, the mask that was on Lucian’s face is now staring back at him, on a man that he is uncertain of his identity.

“For too long you have impersonated me and now I’m taking back what is rightfully mine” The masked man tilts his head in typical Lucian Frost fashion “The masked enigma returns this Sunday at My Bloody Valentine!”

Lucian Frost’s eyes become heavy once again, trying to focus on the man before him but his vision becomes hazy, his eyes closing longer and longer before his whole world become completely dark.

The masked man, proclaiming to be Lucian Frost, looks down at the long haired man passed out on the floor, he kneels back down to flick his hair out of his face. Running his fingers across his face before tapping the man’s cheeks a couple of times as he gets up to a vertical position. He lets out a laugh as the sound of a key turning is heard, the masked man turns to see the door swinging open and a man wearing doctors uniform steps in holding a needle. The lights switch on to reveal a padded cell, the walls covered with the scratched words “DECIPHER THE CODE” all over the cell. The doctor steps in to see that there is only one man in the cell, standing with his back against the wall with his long hair draped across his face, in his hand is the mask that is symbolic with Lucian Frost.

“Lucian, it’s time for your injection” the doctor says calmly, walking over to the man who doesn’t cause any fuss, sticking the needle in and injecting the clear fluid into his arm. The doctor steps back. “How are you feeling?”

Lucian laughs “It’s all been an illusion, hasn’t it” he crumples the mask in his hand “the mysterious man who could disappear, who could do stupid magic tricks to wow the audience, the masked freak who would never been seen as a serious challenger to the heavyweight championship!” Lucian shakes his head “Not anymore” He looks through his hair towards the doctor. “I want a barber”

“As your doctor, I put you in here for your own sanity, your own safety, you babbled on about a time war in theory and I think you need more time in here” the doctor reiterates.

Lucian nods slowly “You’re right, Doctor. You have put me in here for my own safety. But having only your mind as company for twenty four hours, you can put things into perspective, I have and I think it’s time that I end this farce!” Lucian lifts the mask up in front of himself “This Sunday, My Bloody Valentine, I will take this mask off to the world… Now send me a barber!”

Before the doctor could answer, Lucian rushes towards the doctor, pinning him up against the wall. The doctor looks around to call for security, but Lucian places his hand over the doctors mouth, putting his hand into the doctors pocket to pull out a pocket knife. Lucian places his index finger onto his own mouth to acquire silence.

“On second thoughts, this will do” he cackles “It’s good to see things clearly, getting my mind back, clarity of the world rather than being a sideshow freak!” Lucian steps back from the doctor and begins to pull the accessories out one by one.

“You’re not going to endanger your release by doing something stupid, are you?” the doctor questions, slightly out of breath from anxiety.

“Why would I do that, doc?” Lucian answers back with a question “I always said that I’m the enigma, that I recently said that you’d need to decipher the code. No one came close to doing it themselves. So I’m going to be boring and do it for everyone!” Lucian finds the scissor application on the knife “Ah, there we go! Let’s have some fun!”

Lucian places the scissors into his long hair and begins to hack at it, locks falling onto the concrete floor, the doctor looks slightly bemused but not budging from his spot. Frost leaves the front locks across his face until last.

“I’m not sure how the SCW will take the new me” he says rather jollily. “This truly is a dawn of a new era”

Lucian cuts the locks and glares down at the floor where the mask lays underneath the pile of hair, he leans down to pick it up, brushing the hair off it before slipping the mask over his head.

“I might as well keep up appearances, huh?” Lucian says jokingly “Oh we’re going to have so much fun! Win or lose, I don’t really care, will they remember the tag team title match or will they remember the unmasking of the greatest mystery of them all”

“and what is that?” The doctor looks at him with a puzzled look on his face.

“Just who is Lucian Frost, of course!”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Landon Axel and Ethan Brody have created a stir within the SCW, beating my partner Jon Dough and former employee, Aaron Matthews, for the SCW Tag Team Championships. Dough and Matthews originally defeated myself to proclaim that right. So it seems like instead of the proposed Dough and Matthews rematch, I’m a late substitute to fill a gap, seems that is all I’m good for is filling into matches. I am not really marketable like Hot Stuff, Drake Green, Nick Jones, Spike Staggs, the poster fillers for every show. Who wants Lucian Frost on there? I tell you who wants Lucian Frost on there, LUCIAN FROST DOES!

Becoming a two time Tag Team Champion does sound great, holding championship glory would be sublime, however being known as the substitute partner for a rejected wrestler isn’t exactly good for moral. Jon Dough deserves his shot, no one will hesitate with that, just like Drake Green, Goth and Simon Jones deserve there rematches for the Heavyweight Championship. But it doesn’t seem right that at the first supershow that I’m in a championship match. We shall see how we get on, if we win then we’ll both enjoy the spoils of championship glory, however I’m sure that won’t be the talking point of the night.

The talking point will be that the decipher finally gets decoded..

Who am I?

 Jon Dough's Promo


January 19 2014
Location: Tryst Nightclub (Climax Control - 073)

Jon Dough collapses from the turnbuckle and falls to the outside of the ring. He is seen not moving.

later that same night.

EMT: You fell from the top turnbuckle and landed on your left arm. You must have sprained your wrist on your left arm. We will need take you to the hospital to take a better look.


(Ninja and Lin Ting Lu look at each other and Ninja shakes his head at her.)

Master Lily: No that won’t be necessary.

EMT: But Ms. Lin his wrist could be broken.

(Again Lin Ting Lu looks at Ninja who again shakes his head.)

Master Lily: I'm sorry but that really won’t be necessary.

EMT: On behalf of SCW, I must take him to get looked at.

Master Lily: Well Jon works for Master Wong. He just wrestlers in SCW. His want you call a freelancer. Look tell you what will have Zoey Carpenter take a look at him and go from there ok.

(The EMT takes a second to think about it.)

EMT: Tell you what will go get Zoey and take it from there.

Master Lily: Fair enough

Jon Dough: But you said earlier that I would be needed later on for the show.

Master Lily: Don't worry about that Jon, Song and Orchid can handle it. It’s more about them anyways

Later that night.

Orchid: "China is known for its rich history. SCW is a company trying to do the same and we here  in FoShan want to help. Therefore for one time only we have decided to split you up and sign you both up for the SCW 2nd annual Blast from the Past Tag Team Tournament. We wish you girl’s good luck.

(Song and Orchid look at each other, then at the crowd.)

Crowd: Yes! Yes! Yes!

Song: Well if the fans want it and Master Wong wants it then.

(Both women look at each other and take a deep breath before they both bow to each other. Lin Ting Lu appears on the SCW Tron.)

Master Lily: So I take it you two girls are ok with this?

(Both of them look at each other and nod yes.)

Master Lily: Good. On that note I must add that Jon Dough has a sprained wrist and will be out for two weeks. However if SCW had any matches booked for him then Ninja will take his place.

(Crowd is heard buzzing)

Master Lily: Also one more thing. Master Wong is so excited for this tournament he has also added Jon Dough and Ninja to the tournament as well. Ninja was not to appear in a SCW Match till March but this tournament is too important for FoShan to  not be a part of it. So we are bringing in Ninja early. Well enjoy the rest of the show SCW, I know I will.

Later that night. (Climax Control has just come to an end. Some of the SCW Superstars are still here at Tryst Nightclub while others have left the building and are going back to their hotel rooms, or homes or were ever the hell they go when not working for SCW. All of the FoShan Stars are still here at the nightclub. Song and Orchid are somewhere chatting with fans as Jon Dough and Ninja are in the Five Elders locker room. Jon Dough is seen sitting in a chair. He is in his ring gear still but with a bandage on his left wrist from the fall he took. Ninja is seen in his all black Ninja outfit. Ninja is also sitting in a chair, Ninja is punching his left palm with his right fist.)

Jon Dough: You ok over there. You seem to be in a fighting mood.

Ninja: ......

(Lin Ting Lu opens the door and sees what is going on. Lin Ting Lu is seen wearing black pants with a Jon Dough T-Shirt.)

Master Lily: Oh Ninja, leave Jon alone.

Jon Dough: Leave me alone, what?

Master Lily: Sorry Jon, Ninja thinks he is going to be in the Blast of the Past Tournament.

(Ninja looks at Lin Ting Lu and stops punching his left palm.)

Master Lily: Sorry Ninja you and Jon are just backups in case someone gets injured.

(Ninja not happy with the news decides to stand up and kicks the chair that he was sitting on using a back kick.)

Master Lily: Now Ninja no need to be upset. You’re not even supposed to start till March. Well get your portfolio out to SCW in a week or two and you can start at that point.

(Lin Ting Lu turns and looks over at Jon Dough.)

Master Lily: So Jon how’s your wrist?

Jon Dough: My wrist still hurts but the Ice you gave me earlier really helped.

Master lily: Speaking of the ice bag where is it?

Jon Dough: The ice melted so I threw the bag away.

Master Lily: Oh ok well you should be ok for now. We can get you more ice if needed once we are all on the plane.

Jon Dough: Okay

(The three get there stuff and leave the locker room. Lin Ting Lu signals Song and Orchid that they are ready to leave. Song and Orchid take one more picture with a fan and start to head towards Jon, Lin Ting Lu, and Ninja.)

Scene fades out as a new scene fades in.

January 21 2013 (In China it's still 2013)
Location: Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Guangzhou, China (40 minutes away from FoShan, China.)

(The plane has landed and we see dozens of passengers leaving the plane. After about 4 dozens passengers we finally see Song and Orchid appear and a small media crew is seen taking pictures of the two. Lin Ting Lu and Jon Dough are now seen approaching the gate. They to take a few photos before they continue on their way to get there bags. Song and Orchid stay behind still taking photos and waiting for Ninja to get off the plane while Jon Dough and Lin Ting Lu both start heading to the luggage claim area.)

Jon Dough: So now that we landed I must ask what day is it?

(Lin Ting Lu shakes her head and giggles a little.)

Master Lily: Jon you still has trouble with the time difference

Jon Dough: Sorry Master, but I have other things on my head.

Master Lily: Oh like what Jon?

Jon Dough: What do you mean like what. You were at the show you saw what popped up on the SCW screen. Guns For Hire will be defending their SCW Tag Team Titles VS. Lucian Frost and myself.

Master Lily I saw that Jon. My question is how does it make you feel.

Jon Dough: So so. See Master Lily I like the fact that I get a rematch but I wish it was with Aaron.

(Lin Ting Lu stops walking and Jon does the same. Lin Ting Lu gets near Jon and start touching Jon's head. a few times before speaking.)

Master Lily: You seem not to have hit your head when you fell so I must ask why do you want to be teamed with Aaron for?

Jon Dough: Well I don't really want to be teamed up with him. It’s just that I feel it’s not really a rematch if it does not have the two same teams in the match. Don't get me wrong Master Lily I'm glad that SCW decided to give me my rematch.

Master Lily: Which makes me ask why, You were the one that said you don't want a title, you made a big stink about it at the last PPV which in turn you ended up pissing off.

(Jon Dough stops and looks at Lin Ting Lu.)

Jon Dough: Look master Lily, I may have gotten Aaron upset but fuck him. He left me out to dry. He just handed Guns For Hire the titles. Then leaves SCW all together. He claims to be The American Tradition well if that’s true then that tradition is horrible and sucks. No one likes a quitter, never the less that is a dead issue at this point. However like I said earlier I only wanted to team with him because that is a true rematch, but it’s okay because now I know what would have happened anyways.

Master Lily: What would have happened?

Jon Dough: Well one of two things would have happened had I been with Aaron. First one is, he would have thrown away the match and therefore throwing away my rematch.

Or two Aaron and I win the rematch become the SCW Tag Team Champions again but then he still leaves SCW. Which would have left SCW with one Tag Team Champion and we both know SCW does not want to go thru that again.

(Jon says to Lin Ting Lu as they both start to look directly at the camera almost as if they were breaking Kayfabe. Both look at each other and both smile at the comment. They continue to start walking again towards the baggage claim area.)

Master Lily: So now what Jon?

Jon Dough; We get are bags and head back to the Dojo.

Master Lily: That’s not what I meant Jon.

Jon Dough: I know Master Lily. Let’s just get the bags and get some real food, then have Master Wong check my wrist to make sure it's okay and will go from there.

Master Lily: That sounds like a plan Jon.

(Jon Dough and Lin Ting Lu arrive at the baggage claim area. They find Ninja already there with everyone’s bags. Jon and Lin Ting Lu turn around as they hear and see Song and Orchid approaching them.)

Scene fades out

----------------------------------------------------------
Intermission. The next scene opens up on January 26 2014. Before we get to that scene lets us take you briefly on what some of the deleted scenes were for January 22,23,24, and the 25th.

January 22 2013 deleted scene 1
After a good night sleep Jon met with Master Wong. Master Wong had determined that it was not a sprained wrist but just a bad bruise and that Jon do should be fine and cleared for the upcoming My Bloody Valentine.

January 23 2013 deleted Scene 2
Jon Dough is in the film room watching some footage. One match that caught his eyes was Climax Control - 037 SCW Tag Team Title match between The Young Lions, The SCW tag Team Champions at the time Sinful Obsession and also a 3rd team. The team of Kain and Lucian Frost.

January 24 2013 deleted scene 3
Jon's bruise has gone away while his wrist is not yet at 100% you can no longer see the discoloration. Jon was also doing some light workouts as well. HIs workout was not one of in ring training. Jon instead joined Orchid's Tai Chi class that she teaches to the Low Hand Students.

January 25 2013 deleted scene 4
Jon Dough, Ling Ting Lu, Ninja, Song and Orchid all head to Beijing as VIP Guest for a China Volleyball League Game, Beijing vs. Bayi Army.

--------------------------------------------------------

A new scene fades in.

January 26 2013 location: FoShan, China. Master Wong's Dojo

(Master Wong is in his office talking to his son. His son has been in Shoalin training with some of the top level Shoalin Monks. They speak for about two hours. As they end there meeting Jon Dough knocks at the door.)

Master Wong: Come in!

(Jon Dough opens the door. Jon is seen wearing a SCW Emmy Rose shirt and Emma's Kia Kaha Hat. Both the Wong's are wearing the same all black standard Kung Fu top and button, with matching black shoes.)

Jon Dough: Hey Master Wong. Oh Master Wong Fai Hung your back!?

(Jon Dough bows to Wong Fai Hung. Wong Fai Hung bows back.)

Wong Fai Hung: Greetings Jon, How is the wrist at the moment?

Jon Dough: It's good. About 90%, I will be at 100% in time for my next match. I'm about to go work out. Care to join me.

Wong Fai Hung: Maybe next time Jon. I'm going over a few things with Master Wong. Jon so you know this coming match of yours in My Bloody Valentine will be the first time all Five Elders will be at a SCW show.
Jon Dough: Oh sweet man. Well I'm off to train then rest.

Master Wong: What do you mean rest?

Jon Dough: Well Steve had a family issue and had to go back to Las Vegas he will be back in a few days so I can do this whole "Promo" thing for SCW.

Wong Fai Hung: Steve whom? You mean the camera man from LOW?

Jon Dough: Yes and no. Yes the cameraman from LOW but him no longer works for them. You father allowed me to hire him so he can do all of the camera work we need done. Well I'm off to go train now Masters.

(All three men bow as Jon Dough leaves the room.)

Scene fades out as a new scene fades in.

January 31 2013/February 1 2014 (Chinese New Year’s Eve)

(Everyone is parting in China. Even the Monks at the dojo are relaxing and enjoying the last day of the Year of The Snake. Jon however is in the Film room. There is an oak wooden chair that Jon is sitting on. We can also see a big screen attached to a black Dell Laptop. Next to the laptop there is a set of DVD's from SCW as well as from other Wrestling Companies. Jon is wearing his Jon Dough T-Shirt and black joggers. We also see that Jon is no longer wearing bondage on his wrist. Jon is watching his last match. Aaron Matthews and Jon Dough vs. Guns For Hire for The SCW Tag Team belts.)

Jon Dough: So I get a rematch for the SCW tag Team belts.

(Jon starts to lean forward as if he is trying to get closer to the camera.)

Jon Dough: The other day Master Lily wanted to know how I felt about this. well it's simple do I care for a title, no. Do I care if I lose a match, no. More importantly do I like dealing with BullShit, Fuck no.

Sorry for my poor choice of words but the thing is. Nut I feel like I just got played by my former tag team partner. Well it happens in this business, maybe he couldn't cut here in SCW maybe not. Well I'm sure he can find a new company to work for.

(Jon looks right at the camera and)

Jon Dough: Don't worry if Damien Kingston can find work somewhere I'm sure Aaron Matthews can do the same if you know what I mean. That said I wish my ex-partner all the best in his future.

Ok so that’s out the way. I now get my rematch but this time I get someone I want as my partner. See last PPV I said I didn't care to be teamed with Aaron yet and that Steve Ramone is the guy I would want as my partner. Now I mean no disrespect to Steve but had I known that Lucian Frost was the mystery  man I would have gone public then that I would love to team up him. I guess SCW was either reading my mind or felt that Frost should that he wanting to grab one of the SCW Tag Titles in the ladder match that Aaron and I ended up winning.

Frost Hope I can call you that for short. What can I say, you are the 1sr ever SCW Roulette Champion. A match which you had to go thru three other men  Blaque Hart Bruce Evans, Matthew Kennedy and Old Skool. On top of that it was a table’s match Yet Frost came out on top.

Plus it was you that was so hungry for the SCW Tag Team titles that you got the pin in that match. Not to take anything away from Kain or anything at all as Kain is now looked at as one of the big time players in SCW today. However you showed how much you wanted it.

(Jon Leans back on his chair. Jon grabs a remote from a table in which the camera angle cannot pick up. Jon hits a button and we see Climax Control - 037)


Max turns his attention to Kain but Kain hits him with the Whirlwind Fist before finishing him off with his Malice Diamond Cutter, Max quickly rolls out of the ring and Kain turns around only for Trevor to try to hit him with the Ozark Knockout, however Kain dodges the kick and delivers his own, namely the Quickening!

Simone: The Quickening and Malice! Kain just took out both Young Lions in a matter of seconds!

Adams: And Lucian wants in on the action!

Kain tags in Lucian and drags Trevor’s unconscious body to their corner as Frost scales the turnbuckles, Frost leaps hitting the Ice Falls on Trevor Irons and goes for a cover 1……2…….Despayre tries to break it up but eats a Malice…….3!!!!!!

(Jon Dough turns off the big screen.)

Jon Dough: Well one thing is for sure you. You be that hungry when we get in the ring and we should win this match. The one thing I.....

(shí, jiǔ, bā, qī, liù,)

Jon Dough: Oh it’s the countdown. wǔ, sì, sān, èr, yī. Yay Happy new year’s China. So it’s now 2014 in China the year of the Horse. I loving creature yet strong and loyal, This is what I will be to you Frost my new partner. A strong and loyal partner is what Jon Dough is oh plus a Loving creature to all the SCW fans.

So in a few days I get to right a wrong. Frost and I get a chance to be 2time SCW Tag Team Champs. Frost when you won it the first time you did it by not pinning either of the Champs at the time. When I won it, it was by climbing a ladder in a singles match. Well frost that is not the case in a few days we both get the chance of becoming champs the right way. By beating the Champs in the middle of the ring. The fans are in for a real treat see I Jon Dough understand that the fans will be cheering for all four of us in the ring so no matter what it’s a win-win for the SCW fans which means no matter what I already won. I wish us all good luck and may the best team win.

[Guns For Hire]

 The scene fades in to the sight of Landon Axel standing in a seemingly empty hallway, holding a clipboard and chewing the end of a biro pen, he looks up and down the corridor in anticipation of the arrival of his partner. The sound of a door slamming shut in the distance is heard as Ethan Brody walks down the corridor, holding one of the SCW Tag Team Championships, he walks up to Landon who smiles awkwardly.

Ethan Brody
What is so important, L.A?

Landon continues to smile awkwardly

Landon Axel
I’ve sort of.. well, when I say Sort of, I mean I may have accidently, well when I say my have accidently, what I’m actually trying to say is..

Ethan readjusts the grip on the championship belt.

Ethan Brody
If you don’t hurry up this championship is going to be wrapped over your skull.

Landon Axel
I’ve figured out how we could do a streamed video for My Bloody Valentine.

Ethan looks bewildered.

Ethan Brody
Say what?

Landon Axel
You know you get the camera out, record our speech and then I upload it onto youtube for all our SCW fans to view?

Ethan nods.

Landon Axel
Well streaming is a live video, and I think we’re onto a winner, I mean how could this possibly go wrong?

Ethan Brody
What have you done?

Landon is smiling like a young child, pulling the handle down of the door, Ethan tries to peer in but Landon quickly closes the ajar door.

Landon Axel
No peaking, you should close your eyes really, it’s only fair if…

Landon stops midsentence upon seeing the face Ethan was giving him.

Landon Axel
..Okay, fine. Whatever.  Are you ready for this?

Landon swings the door open and steps aside, Ethan steps in with his mouth wide open in shock, Landon stands next to him with his arms wrapped over Ethan’s shoulder.

Landon Axel
What do you think?

Ethan Brody
Please tell you are joking?

Landon Axel
I think we’re going to be the talk of the SCW!

Ethan facepalms as Landon smiles.

Landon Axel
Guns for Hire send shockwaves as they introduce the newest tag team sensation into Sin City Wrestling

Ethan Brody
I need a drink..

Landon watches Ethan walk into the room, past the people he wanted to show Brody off too, straight over towards the little fridge and pulling out a couple of beers. Landon’s smile turns to query as he walks in and shuts the door.  

Landon Axel
Do you not think this will work well for us?

Ethan places the bottle cap rim on the counter and in one swift motion the cap comes off.

Landon Axel
I’m going to call them ‘Micro Masks’, Double M, catchy right?

Ethan turns to face them, holding his beer up in a ‘toast’ fashion

Ethan Brody
I proclaim you the biggest idiot the world has ever seen!

Landon Axel
I really don’t think that is call for, it’s an idea I thought that might work, and I think I’m onto a winner with these two!

Axel places his hands on the shoulders of two people, they’re dressed in the outfits of Jon Dough and Lucian Frost, only they’re just under four feet tall. The one dressed as Lucian Frost bounces around the room, leaping off the sofa to mimic the actual Frost, the other is holding a microphone to mimic Dough’s famous introductions. Landon nods his head in approval.

Landon Axel
I think Double M is ready to be streamed, are you ready Ethan?

Brody quickly finishes his beer and places the empty bottle on the counter surface.

Ethan Brody
Do you think two dwarfs is actually going to be entertaining?

The ‘mimic Jon Dough’ looks at Brody.

Mimic Jon Dough
Hey! We’re not dwarfs. We’re little people!

Ethan Brody
You look like a garden gnome than Jon Dough.

Ethan shakes his head dismissively and glares at Landon Axel.

Ethan Brody
You disturbed my match preparation for this farce? I’ll have no part in it!

As Ethan finished his sentence, the mimic Lucian Frost has climbed onto the top of the sofa, screaming ‘DECIPHER ME’ before leaping off and crashing against the coffee table. Landon cannot help but burst out laughing.

Landon Axel
Come on, that’s funny, you have got to admit that!

Mimic Jon Dough
That was pretty hilarious!

Landon Axel
I know, right!

Ethan Brody
You’re both idiots.

Ethan cracks open the other beer and begins to make his way out but Landon steps in his way.

Landon Axel
I get the feeling you’re not into my ‘mock our opponent’ get up then?

Mimic Jon Dough
I wouldn’t mind competing, be the mini peoples champions, the little voice that cannot be spoken for!

Landon Axel
I’m sure little Frost would say something if he wasn’t knocked out too.

Mimic Jon Dough
I doubt it

Landon Axel
You’re probably right.

Ethan lifts his arms up in the air in dismay, unclasping the championship belt and flinging it over his shoulder, Landon looks at Brody and grabs his championship from the coffee table.

Landon Axel
Look we’re the Tag Team Champions, we’re going into this battle as underdogs really, I mean look at Frost and Dough, Dough has only lost a couple of times and when Frost is on his game he could defeat anyone! We’re fairly new, ACW wrestlers adopted by SCW, we’re going to need all the support we can get going into My Bloody Valentine.

Ethan Brody
We do our talking in the ring, Axel, Dough is a fantastically talented man for an amnesia patient, Lucian Frost has accomplished a lot, apart from one thing and that’s capture the Heavyweight championship strap! I’m sure that day may come but we are on our own journey into creating history, we cannot fall at the first hurdle, resorting to cheap comedy isn’t going to help out cause, Landon.

Landon Axel
Cheap? Do you know how much these little guys charge?!

Mimic Jon Dough
I’m eating lobster for a while!

Ethan Brody
So you waste your money on them too, well you enjoy your hobbit party, I’m going to prepare for our match the traditional way.

Mimic Jon Dough
Drinking and smoking?

Ethan Brody
Listen short stuff, I’d quiet happily use you as a football, booting you out of the window and into the parking lot.

Landon Axel
That is pretty much the truth, Ethan, your prep consists of booze and smokes.

Ethan shoots Landon a dirty glare.

Landon Axel
Okay, fine, Little Dough you’re finished for the day.

Landon slips a few dollar bills into the mimic Jon Dough’s pocket.

Landon Axel
I’ll send your little buddy when he comes too, okay.

The two exchange handshakes, the little mimic Jon Dough sticks his middle finger up at Ethan, who replies with a typical gesture used by the British to symbolise masturbation. As the door clicks shut, Landon sits down on the sofa and looks at the camera.

Landon Axel
we could stream our comments, Ethan?

Ethan looks at Landon and then at the camera, he nods and sits down next to his tag team parter, placing the tag team strap onto the unconscious body of the mimic Lucian Frost. Landon presses the necessary buttons on the laptop before the red light appears on the camera.

My Bloody Valentine is going to be one of the toughest matches of our professional career within the SCW, facing off against a former Tag Team Champion and a former Roulette & Tag Team conqueror. What we have to accomplish is something out of the ordinary, it’s like a five hundred pound man who has a big belly competing in the Olympics but the sports of weight lifting and wrestling have been taken and the only events left is the height jump. Physically impossible, everyone has laughed at the prospect of this fat man trying to jump the height of slimmer, fitter men…the time of the Olympics has come for the event of the triple jump, other countries have jumped getting over the bar with ease and then it comes to the five hundred pound man, he stands looking at the obstacle before him and goes at it at full force and then out of everyone’s amazement, he clears it! The next round he clears it again, the out of the ordinary, the physically impossible has happened, people have ruled him out but yet he has not just beaten everyone’s expectations but he has left a lasting memory in everybody’s minds! This Sunday the obstacle is height, the bar is lifted to its last peg, and it’s our turn to leap above everyone’s expectation, leap over the obstacle set before us and leave that lasting impression in the SCW when we continue our reign as SCW Tag Team Champions!

Lucian Frost isn’t exactly the man people remember when you mention SCW, Spike Staggs yes, Nick Jones yes, Misty Yes, Lucian Frost No. Yet he held the first ever reign as Roulette Champion, like Gabrielle held the inaugural Heavyweight Championship, he is a pioneer within this company and perhaps has been overlooked for certain shots. But he has got the crowning shot this Sunday against us, the chance to become Tag Team Champion for a second time, only Despayre and Rage have achieved that piece of history, perhaps this is your chance to shine at our expense. I, like my partner Landon, will see to it that you don’t walk out with these championships. But you stew upon the revelations of revealing who you are.  Jon Dough, you where one of the first to congratulate us on capturing the championships we won from you, you have the respect of the people and of your fellow professionals, but despite all that you will be facing us once more and we’ll be looking to put a road block in front of your revival and destroying the ‘losing your first title defence monarch’ that has smeared the former champions recently.  

Evolution is the process that has seen mankind develop from the unenlightened primate to the most dominant species on the planet, through the stages of barbarianism to repression and finally as we believe we are reaching our pinnacle, a new era awaits us - the era of freedom. Yet to truly acknowledge and appreciate this bounteous freedom we must acknowledge its roots, examine it's very base from whence it came and in doing so we shall know ourselves all the better. Perhaps it is that some are born with the inextinguishable flame, or perhaps it is that everybody is born with the same desire and yet some have the warrior's spirit so entrenched in their inner being that they are unable to allow their desire to drift away, their fusion too strong for the chains and it is these people who succeed. Whether they are born with the fusion or must fight their entire lives to gain it, the joining of the body, mind and spirit allows us the necessary focus to guide our birth-given desire and lead us to our potential. Those who truly succeed are the ones who remember what makes them and where they came from.

Landon looks very confused

We know our roots, we know where we came from, we know that we’re going to evolve the tag team scene and we look to do that this Sunday against Frost and Dough…

Before Landon could finish, the Mimic Frost sits up on the table, sending Ethan’s championship crashing to the floor.

Mimic Lucian Frost
Fucking hell I’ve caught my balls on the table!

Landon Axel
And on that bombshell we’ll see you this Sunday at My Bloody Valentine!

Landon presses the button on his computer as the scene fades away to black.
