[FADEIN: A wide shot of the crowd, the bell rings, drawing a cheer, after a beat MUSIC UP: “The People That We Love” by Bush. The crowd boos LOUD as Copycat slowly walks towards the ring. He doesn’t react at all to the crowd, his eyes cold and dead.]

TF: The following contest is set for one fall and is the FINAL first round match in the King of the Cage Tournament…Introducting first…From Kalamazoo Michigan, weighing in at 280 pounds…COPY!!! CAT!! 

[The crowd boos again, Copycat hits the ring, walking to a corner and just staring daggers at the entranceway.]

DT: Copycat has said…Well not said, but had his messengers say quite a lot leading up to this match, talk of the corruption of EPW and the need to save this company from itself, and from people like The First, and tonight he’s going to begin his crusade.

MN: Well this company DOES need to be rid of the stupid gothtard! He lost, he’s done, I am outraged that Dan Ryan revoked the career ending stipulations those two talked about, he should be out of this company, he should be making my Baconators when I get hungry at 1 AM! 

[MUSIC UP: “Happy Birthday” by The Birthday Massacre. The First comes through the curtain arms extended to the sides, screaming at the crowd. Muse follows him, wearing her crazy steam punk outfit. First has on an “Outcast Hero” Wife-beater, black gi pants, black ring boots, his right arm taped up almost to the elbow with “OWG” written in black marker on it. His face painted like Prince Nuada.]

TF: And his opponent, hailing from Salem Massachusetts, weighing in at 193 pounds…THE FIRST!

[The crowd pops big as The First and Muse make their way to the ring, First high fiving every fan he can reach, before finally hitting ringside and entering the cage, keeping his distance from Copycat.]

DT: And here he is, the man who came SO CLOSE to capturing the EPW World Title at Black Dawn, now standing in the ring, another crack at that title hanging in the balance.

DM: You just have to wonder, can The First get another shot at the title, and would he be able to make good on it?

MN: The answer to both those questions is NO…The Elliot Ness of EPW the Jim Garrison of Wrestling will expose this company, and this stupid freak, for the world to see. 

[Bell rings.]

DT: Copycat and The First for the right to fight for the World Title, and here we go…Copycat just walking straight towards First…First circling him, First lands a leg kick and another one…Copycat charges and pins First into a corner, not where First wants to be against the much bigger Copycat…Copycat cracks First with a series of forearms…And now he’s gouging him in the eyes! First fighting, trying to get Copycat’s fingers out of his eyes and he gets free and stumbles out of the corner, Copycat slowly stalking him. 

DM: This match is all about distance, First hast to keep himself away from Copycat, has to land that high impact, high flying style of offense, and not let Copycat get him into close quarters, where Copycat will clearly have the edge.

MN: This kid is mentally shot from having his pipe-dream of being EPW Champion go up in smoke, Stevens started his down fall, Copycat finishes it tonight!

DT: Copycat following First, who spins and catches Copycat with a right hand and another one! First with a kick to the mid-section…First off the ropes…SPINNING HEEL KICK DROPS COPYCAT!! Copycat scrambles back to his feet…First of the ropes with a clothesline staggers him…Off the ropes again, another clothesline…Copycat still won’t fall…First off the ropes…THIRD CLOTHESLINE DROPS THE BIG MAN! FIRST WITH A COVER!


ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!

DT: Copycat THROWS First off him as he makes his way back to his feet…First strikes with a series of right hands…Copycat thumbs First in the eye! First clutching at his face and Copycat grabs him…RUNS HIM INTO THE CAGE! Copycat holds him up and hooks him…VIOLENT BODY SLAM TO THE MAT! 

MN: You knew this was coming, Copycat’s just a monster, this shrimp might make a good going of it for a while, but now it’s going to be one long glorious beating…Somebody get me some popcorn! 

DT: Copycat now sits First up on the mat…DRIVES HIS FINGERS INTO HIS EYES!! First howling in pain as Copycat just gouging First’s eyes…

DM: There are no rules in this match this is completely legal what Copycat is doing, even if it’s pretty uncomfortable to watch happen.

MN: What are you two talking about, we’re seeing a worthless career finally ended, this is great!

DT: First finally gets Copycat’s fingers out of his eyes…First in a fetal ball on the mat clutching at his face…Copycat standing over him and stomps him in the ribs and again…First now dragged to his feet…Copycat DECKS him with a big boot! Copycat slowly drops down into a cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!
DT: First kicks out…Copycat didn’t bother to hook a leg or really put much weight on First with that pin attempt.

MN: Some things you have to savor in this world…Like bringing truth to the blind fools of EPW, or ended the career of an over-rated fraud! 

DT: Copycat now again DRIVING A THUMB INTO FIRST’S EYE….First fighting like mad to get pry Copycat’s thumb out of his eye…First staggers to his feet and scampers to a corner, trying to get distance between himself and Copycat…Copycat stalking him First catches Copycat with a kick to the ribs as he comes in…First jumps up and gets a headscissors on Copycat….HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN BY FIRST! First back to his feet quickly, catching Copycat as he’s getting up, First with a series of right hands, First with a kick to the gut, gets his leg caught…ENZIGURI BY FIRST!

DM: First doing everything he can to combat the much larger Copycat, and he’s finding ways of knocking the big man down!

MN: Oh yeah, he’s amazing, keep talking him up, so he can break your heart again!

DT: Copycat stumbles to his feet…First now grabs him and whips him into the opposite corner…First sets up…HAND-SPRING ELBOW! NO!! Copycat moved…First hit the corner hard and staggers out…COPYCAT JUST SPIT GREEN MIST IN FIRST’S FACE!! FIRST CRUMPLES TO THE MAT BLINDED!

DM: Well they do call him Copycat for a reason. 

MN: You know I should be a fan of that, but I’m kind of worried, I mean really, green mist is a kinda novice mist, I’m afraid if the moron ever gets a chance he might use a more deadly mist…

DT: I wasn’t aware you were a mistologist Neely…Copycat now pulls First to his feet…He slings First over his shoulder…FIRST SENT FLYING INTO THE CAGE! First crashing to the mat…Copycat standing over him, glaring at him with those unblinking eyes..Cat stomps First in the chest, and again…I think First might have been opened up from crashing into the cage there…Yes he is bleeding as Copycat now picks him up, First again thrown over Copycat’s shoulder…Copycat turns and a POWERSLAM plants First, Copycat with a cover! 

ONE!!

TWO!!

THR-NO!

DT: First kicks out at two and a half! Copycat kneeling over First and punches away at him…Trying to further open up that cut…AND NOW BACK TO THE GOUGING OF THE EYES!! What is going through the mind of Copycat?

MN: That he’s going to retire this freak tonight, defeat is to good for him, the ending of his career is what he deserves! 

DT: First again fights free, he has been just manhandled by Copycat, who…Well he’s insane that’s all I can say…Copycat grabs First again…Lifts him up…PRESS SLAM!!! First fell a long way there! Copycat off the ropes...DRIVES AN ELBOW INTO THE CHEST!! COPYCAT WITH A COVER!!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THR—NO!!

MN: That was a slow count, but I don’t mind, right now he’d only end up in the hospital for a few days, I want traction, I want months of painful rehab! 
DT: You are a horrible human being Neely…And now it looks like Copycat is going to finish things once and for all…First now being set up…COPYCAT HAS HIM UP FOR THE LITTERBOMB…WAIT!! FIRST JUST SPIT BLUE MIST IN COPYCAT’S FACE!! Copycat drops The First…First lands on his feet, gets behind the staggering Copycat…SOULBREAKER!!! SOULBREAKER BY THE FIRST!! 

MN: Dammit! I knew that was coming to…Don’t mist the mist master! 

DM: Are you giving The First credit for something Neely?

MN: Hey, I call it like I see it…

DT: First now crawling over towards Copycat…He makes the cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!!

THRE—NO!!

DT: OH THAT WAS CLOSE! Copycat JUST got the shoulder up…First back to his feet and he kicks away at the head of Copycat…First out to the apron…Waiting on Copycat to get to his feet…Copycat’s up…SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE BY THE FIRST! First pops to his feet and yells at the crowd who get loud in response…Copycat up but on rubber legs…First with a series of right hands…Copycat staggers…HE DROPS TO ONE KNEE!! First off the ropes…SHINING WIZARD! NO!!! COPYCAT GOT A THUMB TO THE EYE! FIRST ON THE MAT THRASHING IN AGONY!!!

First going to the outside…He’s going to the top rope…He’s trying to escape the cage! Copycat quickly after him…Copycat now catches First, both men on the top rope…COPYCAY THROWS FIRST TO THE MAT!! OHHHH…COPYCAT SLIPPED AND CROTCHED HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! 

DM: Both men in bad shape here, this has been a brutal match…

DT: Copycat pulling himself up off the corner…He’s climbing the cage, he’s trying to escape now! First now crawling towards the door! Copycat to the top of the cage, as First now is near the apron, the refs opening the gate…

MN: Zane! 

DT: I hope that’s in your contract…Copycat’s over the top of the cage…First half way through the door! Both men so close…COPYCAT DROPPING OFF THE CAGE…FIRST FALLS THROUGH THE DOORWAY!! WHO LANDED FIRST?! 

DM: His name makes things confusing in moments like this…

[Bell rings, crowd buzzing.]

DT: Pat Jones pointing towards The First, is that his ruling?! He’s talking it over…We’re about to get the verdict…

TF: The winner of this match via escaping the cage, and advancing in the King of the Cage Tournament (Dramatic Pause) THE FIRST!! [Crowd pops!]

MN: What?! This was a bag job! A con, a swindle! 
DT: Pat Jones made his call right when it started…Copycat outside the cage just glaring at Jones now, who’s trying to explain to him what he saw…Copycat not even reacting…Wait a minute, now Jones is coming out to the time keeper…

[Jones walks over to the time keeper and grabs a mic, we can hear in the background Muse saying “What the hell are you doing?! He already won!”]

JONES: We, we used Replay for the JA/Stevens cage match…Can I get replays of the two men leaving the cage please on the EmpireTron?

DT: Oh my goodness, a replay review?!

MN: Finally justice in EPW! Copycat won this match with 3 or 4 seconds to spare, it wasn’t close! 

[The EmpireTron shows a replay of Copycat, halfway down the cage, jumping down and hitting the floor, but the replay does not show The First and his escape.]

DT: Well that doesn’t clear anything up..

[The EmpireTron now shows The First diving out the door and hitting the floor, but this shot does not show Copycat’escape.]

DM: We need a shot of both men’s escapes...So far we don’t have anything to compare the two with…

[The EmpireTron stays dark for about 15 seconds. During this time Copycat has made his way over towards Pat Jones and stands next to him, glaring at hime.]

JONES: Do…Do we have any other angles of it?! [Holds his earpiece] We-we don’t? [Turns, looking at Copycat.] I have no evidence to reverse my decision…First is the winner [Crowd pops!] That’s my call…
[Copycat continues to stare at Jones.]

MN: There were many other camera angles! This is a fraud! This is a crime bigger than Watergate! This whole company is corrupt! Copycat got jobbed and you two KNOW IT! 

DT: I don’t know any such thing…I do know that I feel like Pat Jones might be broken in half in a moment by Copycat…Wait Copycat shoves him aside…Copycat at a full dead run…KICKS FIRST IN THE HEAD!! First drops to the floor…Copycat pulls him up…CATS CLAW!! HE’S DRIVING HIS FINGERS INTO FIRST’S EYES!! WHAT ON EARTH IS HE DOING?! THIS MATCH IS OVER!!

MN: He’s purging EPW of corruption! This clown won’t get another undeserved title shot, he’ll get maimed! 

DT: MUSE KICKS COPYCAT LOW! Copycat drops First and staggers away from Muse and First…Trainers coming out, trying to tend to First…Now Copycat going towards Muse…Oh lord, I don’t even want to watch this…[Crowd pops!] LINDSAY TROY!! IT’S LINDSAY TROY COMING TO THE RING!!!! 

MN: She’s going to reverse this decision and finally make things right…Oh who am I kidding she’s the head of this whole conspiracy anyhow! 

DT: Troy making her way towards Copycat…WAIT!!! A MAN JUST RAN PAST HER WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! THAT’S OMEGA!!! OMEGA JUST BLASTED COPYCAT IN THE HEAD WITH BARB!! OMEGA NOW BEATING THE LIFE OUT OF COPYCAT WITH BARB!! OH DEAR GOD NO!!! 

[Omega charges over to the broadcast table, scattering the broadcasters…They flee in a panic and then Omega turns back towards Copycat…He lifts Copycat off his feet and then takes a running charge and then spinebusters him through the table, shattering it to pieces…Copycat lays lifeless in the wreckage of the table as Omega grabs a camera cord and now wraps it around Copycat’s neck, choking the life out of him, EPW officials floor the area, trying to break Omega’s choke on Copycat…Copycat’s face turning brighter and brighter red as Omega keeps choking him…Finally Omega is pried away from Copycat. The camera cuts to show two trainers, one under each arm, helping The First to the back, his face covered in a towel. Muse following behind looking nervous and concerned. The camera cuts to Lindsay Troy, looking stunned at the carnage around her, before finally cutting to Omega, being kept away from Copycat by EPW officials, who are trying to get EMT’s out to help Copycat….Omega suddenly grabs Barb and makes another charge at Copycat with officials fighting frantically to hold him at bay as the camera......

FADES TO BLACK.]
