Anyone For Tea?  -


Fade in.

Cut To: Madison Square Garden

Our scene awakens into the arena, moments after Episode Three: No Quit went off the air.

We see the final credits roll onto the screen inside the arena, the fans all rise ready to make the journey home. They have witnessed a great night of entertainment, they all look happy just when the tron flickers into life.

Heads turn.

People stop what they are doing and we see William Regal on the tron, a sly grin on his face. He holds a cup of tea and a saucer, like only he knows. He takes a sip from his tea cup and then places it on the desk in front of him.

We can see he is wearing a fine suit, looking as elegant as ever. He places his hand upon the table and leans forward.

One thing is for sure, no one is leaving the arena yet.

William Regal: Good Evening, I hope you hadn't planned on rushing off? Please, be seated.

The fans look at each other and slowly, they all return to be seated.

Regal has the full attention now.

William Regal: For those of you who don't know, my name is William Regal.. I'm sitting here at home in Blackpool, England.. but, next week at Ring King.. I'll be in action, yes.. You heard it right, William Regal will be in that ring for you next week.. The truth of it all is, you don't deserve it.

A bit of heat for Regal, the fans not taking to kindly to his last comment.

William Regal: Now, I suggest you all bloody well listen.

The fans begin to boo.

Regal just shakes his head in disgust.

William Regal: I'll be stepping into that ring to face two men in a dark match before Ring King, I find it insulting to be placed in such a match.. I mean, look at me.. I'm William Regal and they want me to step into the ring with two men, in a triple threat match?

He isn't impressed.

William Regal: Disgusting.

Regal lifts the cup back to his lips and he takes another sip, seemingly enjoying his tea.

William Regal: I've got to face The Rock and Goldust, I can't even begin to fathom what might happen in this match.. I'm being placed into a match with a damn lunatic and a man who has a bigger ego than myself, a combination which clearly is a recipe for disaster.

He leans back and folds his arms.

William Regal: Yes, that's about right.. Put me in a match with that little pansy in the gold, I should have known better than to sign up for this bloody place.. What do you think is going to come of this match? I find it rather in bad taste because it's clear, I'm way above the level of both of these men.. Neither has enough about them to beat a man such as myself, I almost feel bad for what I have to do to these two.

Regal takes a look at his cup of tea and he notices that there is nothing there, he turns to his right and snaps his fingers.

William Regal: Tajiri, bring me some more tea.

Just then, Tajiri steps into the picture holding a cactus plant.

William Regal: What am I supposed to do with that?

Tajiri: Mwabi ping ta chao dee.

Regal shakes his head and flicks his right hand, motioning for Tajiri to go away.

William Regal: Useless.

Tajiri makes a random noise and bounces off the screen, leaving Regal to continue.

William Regal: I've had enough of this talk about Goldust, a man like that should never be allowed inside a wrestling ring.. I do find it in rater bad taste to allow this man to wrestle, however.. It doesn't matter because I'll do my job, I'll take Goldust out of this match in a matter of seconds.. It comes all too easy for a man of my stature, there is one thing bothering me though.. I'll have to come out there, into that arena and perform in front of you ungrateful American's.

The fans in the arena don't take too kindly of it but, Regal doesn't care.

William Regal: Men like myself and Tajiri, we're punished for not being American.. Quite frankly, I'm delighted to not be American.. American's consist of three types of people, you have the fat one's.. Then, you have the dumb ones.. Then, you can the fat and dumb people.. Which is really Ninety Percent of the population, it's true.. I've never been so besmirched in my entire life, you people don't deserve to watch an athlete such as myself.. I will take down Goldust, who is an American like most of you I imagine.. I'll beat him to a bloody pulp, then we'll hear what you have to say to me.

Regal rubs his chin for a moment, taking a moment just to collect his thoughts. The fans in the arena still are seated, they want to know what else WIlliam Regal has to say.

William Regal: Now, onto that little toerag that goes by the name of.. The Rock.

The fans go wild in the arena.

William Regal: Yes, I did expect that type of reaction for you're " hero ".. What a shame it's going to be when I beat him to within an inch of his life, I gather it's something unthinkable for you.. I see The Rock like any other American, a loudmouth who needs to be put in his place.. I also have to laugh when they call you an actor, I'd rather watch an hour long episode of Coronation Street.. What he must realize is that when he enters that ring, all the talking stops.. He can't depend on his " witty " humour, I can assure you all.. The Rock will fail, you can all take that to the bloody bank.

Regal looks again to his right and Tajiri comes back into the picture, holding a kendo stick. He begins to wave it around and do some nice moves, obviously he has learned it. Regal shakes his head.

William Regal: Tajiri, give it to me.

Regal holds out his hand and Tajiri looks at it.

William Regal: That's it, put it in my hand.

Tajiri gives it to Regal who then hits Tajiri with it.

William Regal: Get out of it, I don't know why I even keep you around.. Idiotic Japanese monkey.

Regal sorts himself out and turns back to the camera.

William Regal: I do not doubt my ability for a moment and I know, this match is in the bag.. The only thing I am disappointed with is the fact it won't be screened, so the entire world could see these fools get a good bloody hiding.. It's still beyond even me, why Goldust continues to wrestle.. This man is a disgrace to wrestling and he should be gotten rid of as soon as possible, I guess if no one is willing to do it then I'll have to.. It's been a long time coming if you ask me and I'll see it through, Goldust.. He's about to realize that wrestling isn't a place for a man such as himself, he should be in a bloody looney bin.

Regal points down the camera.

William Regal: It's down to all of you to decide who you want to cheer for, you could cheer for a man like The Rock.. Who is nothing but, an overpaid bad actor.. Or you could cheer for a man with elegance, a man who walks with class.. A man who is better than the rest, that man being myself.. William Regal, I trust you'll make the wrong choice.. True to form for you American's.

The fan's aren't liking Regal at all, they begin booing loudly.

William Regal: Now, that's enough.

The booing dies out.

William Regal: You don't want to make yourselves tired, you still have to eat a ten course meal yet haven't you?

This time they erupt with boo's and Regal looks pleased with that reaction, he got them.

William Regal: The times of old have passed and it's now time for international talent to reign supreme, I could beat any one of you're fine American's with one hand tied behind my back.. You people disgust me, I don't know why I even waste my time talking to you.. My far superior knowledge probably has most of you scratching you're heads, it's ok.. American education was never any good, it's not all you're fault.

Regal leans forward again.

William Regal: I hope that Goldylocks and The Rock were listening, I'm here to take over.. I'll not stop until I'm at the top of this company with that bloody World Heavyweight Title around my waist.. Rock, I hope you're listening sonshine.. I mean every word that I say, I'm not here to lie to you.. I'll make a mockery of you're career in one night and Goldust, I might as well just let Tajiri wrestle you.. Even he'll beat you.

He clenches his fist.

William Regal: You both better be ready to feel..

Here it comes.

William Regal: The Power Of The Punch.

Regal flashes a fake smile.

William Regal: Good Day.

The tron flicks off and goes blank.

Static.
