(CUTTO: The front of the Molson Centre. The doors open and five policemen come out. Three of them leave to get the police cars while one each stay with Insurgent and Cameron Cruise.)
INSURGENT: “Holding me down won’t do anything. Make sure you tell LaRoque that this will do nothing but incite me further.”
OFFICER: “Sure, sure.”
CRUISE: “This is insane! We shouldn’t be carted off the premises like common criminals!”
(His officer just looks at him without saying a word.)
OFFICER: “We’re taking you back to the hotel. Mr. LaRoque explicitly stated that you two were not allowed anywhere near the arena.”
CRUISE: “Ridiculous! SEE WHAT YOU DID!”
(Cruise spits at Insurgent, but the police officer who is watching him immediately forces him back. From around the corner two police cars come and begin to situate themselves in front of the curb. The officers move Cruise and Insurgent toward them.)
OFFICER: “You make one more move like that and I’ll drive you down to the station and book you for attempted assault!”
(The officer takes Insurgent by the handcuffs and leads him to the first police car. The other police officer starts to walk Cameron Cruise behind the cars.)
CRUISE: “Someone tell Mercedes to meet me at the hotel… we’re heading right back to the States tonight!”
(The police officer nudges him to continue moving past the second police car. Cruise looks at the car and raises an eyebrow.)
CRUISE: “I though..”
(The police officer pushes him again. They continue walking and eventually we see a pink police car parked further back. The officer opens the back door and shoves Cruise in it. Insurgent’s police officer notices that the two are not in the second car.)
OFFICER: “Hey! He is supposed to go in this car!”
(The police officer ignores the other office and hops in the driver’s seat.)
OFFICER: “What are you doing? Didn’t you hear what I said?”
(The pink police car starts and peels back to do a three point turn. As it whizzes by the camera, the shot catches the front license plate: ‘EXTREMELY’ …)
OFFICER: “GET BACK HERE!!”
(The police officers and the camera watch as it speeds by and the camera catches the rear license plate: ‘BiSEXUAL’!!!)
OFFICER: “DREDEAU! PHONE IN TO THE STATION! WE GOTTA GET THAT POLICE CAR!”
(CUTTO: Back to ringside as the officers pack into the two cars, strike up their sirens and speed after the pink police car!)
JIVE: “NO FUCKING WAY….”
GHEORGHE: “Do you think? It can’t be… it can’t be!”
JIVE: “A pink police car …. With license plates that say ‘Extremely BiSexual’?? BEAU MICHAELS HAS STOLEN CAMERON CRUISE FROM RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE QUEBEC POLICE’s NOSES!!!”
GHEORGHE: “I know he’s pissed off at Cruise in the NFW … but now Michaels has come and taken Cameron Cruise as he was being escorted off the premises by the police!!”
JIVE: “There will be hell to pay once the police catch up to Michaels … but I worry about Cruise more! HE’s HANDCUFFED! They might have done this before .. but that was BEFORE Michaels was a lover scorned!”
GHEORGHE: “This is crazy! Ladies and gentlemen .. while that was all going down outside, ‘the Messenger’ Trevor Cane … one of the two men involved in the barbwired baseball bat match coming up .. came down to ringside unannounced and he is standing in the ring with a microphone.”
JIVE: “It looks like he’s got something to say ….”
(CUTTO: In the ring. Trevor Cane is standing in he corner, his head lowered as he stares blankly at the ring.)
CANE: “Repentance comes in many different forms. Religion. Meditation. Confession. Confrontation. It comes for many different reasons. Guilt. Anguish. Death. Many times repentance leads to a clear conscience. It leaves the repentant feeling relieved. Tonight I will repent for all the sins I have committed in this very ring. For all the hatred I hold within my mind, my soul, my body.”
JIVE: “Oh come on, don’t tell me he’s going soft on us!”
GHEORGHE: “Perhaps he’s seen his own Light…”
CANE: “For every time that I drive the barbwired bat into the body of Travis Smith I will watch as some of those sins wash away with the blood that will pour from his veins. As the steel from the wire cuts across his flesh it will also cut the sins from my sight. Tonight I will repent. I will … repent.”
(Cane drops the microphone and slips off his overcoat as he sits in the corner. Carl Jacobs picks the microphone off the mat. As he does so the lineup for the match flashes on screen.)
JACOBS: “Ladies and gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall and is a special grudge BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT MATCH!”
(SFX: Fans pop!)
JACOBS: “Already in the ring .. hailing from Sarasota, Florida. Weighing in at 263 pounds and standing six foot three…… ‘the Messenger’ TREVOR CANE!!!”
GHEORGHE: “Cane sounded sincere until he started talking about ripping the flesh from Travis Smith!”
JIVE: “Cane is going to use Smith as a sacrificial lamb!”
(CUEUP: ‘Forever’ by Kid Rock. Travis Smith runs out from behind the curtain and into the ring.)
JACOBS: “And his opponent… hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. He stands five foot seven and weighs 175 pounds …. ‘Too Sweet’ TRAVIS SMITH!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JIVE: “Smith is a small guy .. but as we saw in the Boiler Room Brawl, he can beat Trevor Cane.”
GHEORGHE: “There’s a difference from a dark, damp boiler room where neither man has an advantage to a well lit arena … in front of thousands and thousands of fans. This is Trevor Cane’s third pay per view … and Smith’s first..”
JIVE: “Well the barbwired baseball bat is sitting on the mat on the outside .. the first person to get to it will undoubtedly have the upperhand!”
GHEORGHE: “The referee goes to the side of the ring and TREVOR CANE IMMEDIATELY RUNS OVER TO TRAVIS SMITH AND CLOBBERS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Cane on top of Smith and he is drilling right forearms into the face of ‘Too Sweet’ with authority!”
JIVE: “Cane’s a man of few words, but a lot of pain!”
GHEORGHE: “Travis Smith desperately trying to wiggle out from underneath Cane, but Trevor Cane is wailing on him like no tomorrow! Cane finally gets up … AND HE PUTS THE BOOTS TO SMITH! Travis Smith was trying to crawl away, but Cane has kicked him to the ground and is stomping on his chest! Trevor Cane finally picks Travis Smith from off the mat … and he sends him into the ropes!”
JIVE: “Cane’s a smart guy, but I say when you have a man on the ground … keep kicking him!”
GHEORGHE: “Smith on the way back …. AND SMITH WITH A FLYING FOREARM TAKES CANE DOWN! Travis Smith rolls underneath the ring and he’s looking for the barbwired baseball bat!”
JIVE: “He’s not going to find it there … its on the other side!”
GHEORGHE: “Smith continues to look for it … AND TREVOR CANE REACHES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HAS SMITH BY THE NECK! Trevor Cane trying to drag Smith back into the ring by the neck ….”
(SFX: Fans pop.)
GHEORGHE: “AND TRAVIS SMITH USING HIS AGILITY TO GO UP AND LOCK THE HEAD OF CANE …. AND TAKE HIM TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A HEADSCISSORS!”
JIVE: “Like I said earlier .. with his size he can be speedy and keep Cane off guard!”
GHEORGHE: “You didn’t say that!”
JIVE: “I think I know what I said, Tom.”
GHEORGHE: “Travis Smith grabs Trevor Cane as he gets to his feet … AND HE DRIVES A KNEE RIGHT INTO THE GROIN! Trevor Cane is bent over in agony … AND TRAVIS SMITH DDT’s HIM ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “Now he’s finally getting the hint that the bat is on the other side … and he’s going to get it!”
GHEORGHE: “NO! Trevor Cane grabs onto his leg! Smith trying to kick Cane off but he can’t! Travis Smith with a boot right to the teeth of Cane! AND IT LOOKS LIKE CANE IS BLEEDING FROM THE MOUTH! Travis Smith grabs Cane by the head and lifts him to his feet … and now he hooks the waist of ‘the Messenger’ …. AND HE DRIVES HIM BACK INTO THE APRON! Cane’s back hit the corner of the ring apron and he arches back in pain!”
JIVE: “Work over the back .. that way if Cane can’t support his own weight, chances are he won’t be able to get Smith in the Light ..”
GHEORGHE: “Cane walking very slowly as he holds the lower back . Smith grabs the arm and turns him around …. AND NOW TRAVIS SMITH WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS CANE BACK-FIRST INTO THE GUARDRAIL! Trevor Cane is resting against the guardrail… AND TRAVIS SMITH WITH A FLYING BODY PRESS ….. AND BOTH MEN GO FLYING OVER THE GUARDRAIL INTO THE CROWD!”
JIVE: “Be careful! That’s all I need is some fan that claims he was injured by one of those bozos.. I don’t want to lose my check to some out of work lazy Quebecer.”
GHEORGHE: “The fans now making room away from the area in the front row as Travis Smith brings Cane back to his feet …. And he’s telling them to get even further back!”
JIVE: “What the hell is he going to do?”
GHEORGHE: “Smith turns Cane around …. He hooks the waist AND GERMAN SUPLEXES TREVOR CANE RIGHT INTO A ROW OF FOLDING CHAIRS!!!! CANE’s HEAD CRASHED RIGHT INTO THE SEAT OF A METAL CHAIR AND TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “I’ll be surprised if Trevor Cane isn’t repenting in a hospital bed after this match is over!”
GHEORGHE: “These two’s rivalry has been vicious as of late … including a green room brawl earlier tonight! Travis Smith finally tosses Trevor Cane back into the ringside area … and now he’s going under the ring!”
JIVE: “No.. the bat is on the mat on the other side!”
GHEORGHE: “I don’t think he’s looking for the bat, Nick.”
JIVE: “He’s got … electrical wire?”
GHEORGHE: “Travis Smith wraps the wire around the neck of Trevor Cane … and now he places a foot between his shoulder blades… AND HE IS CHOKING TREVOR CANE! Cane grasps at the wire … but Travis Smith is pushing off his back and there is very little room for him to actually get his hands in!”
JIVE: “Smith is going to knock him out .. then ravage him with the barbwired bat!”
GHEORGHE: “Trevor Cane trying to get to his feet … and he does! Travis Smith still behind him though ….. AND TREVOR CANE RUNS AND THROWS HIMSELF TO THE FLOOR CAUSING TRAVIS SMITH TO STUMBLE DOWN AND HIT THE RINGSTEPS!”
JIVE: “Smith knocked the top half off with his momentum!”
GHEORGHE: “Travis Smith leaning against the ringsteps as Trevor Cane gets back to his feet … Cane sees Smith and charges! CANE WITH A RUNNING KNEE SHOT …. BUT SMITH ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND CANE CATCHES THE TOP OF THE STAIRS WITH HIS KNEE!!! Cane immediately drops to the mat clutching his knee!”
JIVE: “Cane took a chance but the gamble didn’t pay off … and now it looks like Travis Smith is finally going to go to the RIGHT SIDE to get the bat!”
GHEORGHE: “SMITH HAS GOT THE BAT! Travis Smith is on his way back to Trevor Cane who is just starting to get to his feet …. Smith rounds the corner and winds up!!! TRAVIS SMITH SWINGS BUT CANE DUCKS! TREVOR CANE WITH A BOOT TO THE STOMACH! THE LIGHT! THE LIGHT!”
JIVE: “He just hit that sitdown powerbomb on the arena floor!!! Travis Smith must be dead!”
GHEORGHE: “All Trevor Cane has to do is roll Travis Smith into the ring for the pinfall and he will have this match wrapped up! Cane… Cane … CANE IS GRABBING THE BAT!! INSTEAD OF WINNING THIS MATCH TREVOR CANE PICKS UP THE BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT!”
JIVE: “If he pins Smith now he won’t have cleared himself of any sins, Tom .. and we all would hate to see him have to walk around with those burdens!”
GHEORGHE: “Smith lying on his stomach as Cane stands over him … AND CANE WALLOPS SMITH RIGHT IN THE SMALL OF THE BACK … AND TRAVIS SMITH SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN!”
JIVE: “Smith was forced into consciousness by the barbwire piercing his skin!”
GHEORGHE: “Trevor Cane lifts the bat up again ….. AND NAILS SMITH AGAIN IN THE BACK!! LOOK AT THE BACK OF TRAVIS SMITH!”
(The camera closes in on the back of Smith .. it is beginning to show signs of blood from the spots where the barbwire hit the skin.)
JIVE: “I hope he’s got a shitload of rubbing alcohol out back to disinfect with!”
GHEORGHE: “Cane puts the bat on the ring apron as he brings Smith back to his feet …. And now Trevor Cane rolls Travis Smith back into the ring!”
JIVE: “Maybe the end is near for Senor Smith?
GHEORGHE: “I don’t know, Nick .. but Trevor Cane now rolls into the ring and he kneels down and grabs the bat … and now he knees over to Smith …. AND HE IS RUBBING HE BARBWIRE ACROSS THE FACE OF TRAVIS SMITH!! Travis Smith is letting out howls as the barbwire cuts across his face .. and Trevor Cane has a look of delight on his face! He’s enjoying this!”
JIVE: “As you said, Gheorghe, these two have an animosity towards one another that has been building for months … I wouldn’t be surprised if Trevor Cane shoves that bat down Smith’s throat!”
GHEORGHE: “Trevor Cane drops the bat and he picks Travis Smith up from off the mat …. And look at Smith’s face …. That is disheartening…”
(CAMERASHOT: The blood running down the forehead and into the eyes of Travis Smith.)
GHEORGHE: “The blood is seeping into the eyes of Travis Smith as he gets thrown into the corner by Trevor Cane …. And Cane now walks over back to the bat …. What is he doing?”
JIVE: “Cane’s walking away from Smith?”
GHEORGHE: “MY GOD HE IS IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER!! HE IS GOING TO CHARGE FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND DRIVE THE BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT INTO TRAVIS SMITH!”
JIVE: “How devious! I LOVE IT!”
GHEORGHE: “TREVOR CANE RUNS OUT OF THE CORNER ……… HE LEAPS ………”
(SFX: Fans pop huge!)
GHEORGHE: “AND TREVOR CANE DRIVES THE BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT FULL SPEED INTO THE CHEST OF TRAVIS SMITH!!!! Smith is out of it!! He can hardly stand!”
JIVE: “Cane has made his point if you ask me… Travis Smith should have never have messed with him.”
GHEORGHE: “CANE STARTED THIS ENTIRE THING, NICK!”
JIVE: “Well, Travis Smith should have never ventured back into New ERA.”
GHEORGHE: “Cane out of the corner …. And TRAVIS SMITH STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH THE BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT STICKING TO HIS CHEST!!!”
JIVE: “There’s a perfect shot for the DVD sleeve…”
GHEORGHE: “Complete chaos is going on in the ring and you’re making jokes…”
JIVE: “I’m totally shocked and appalled by this, Tom .. and this is the only way to show my .. appalled-ness….”
GHEORGHE: “Travis Smith barely standing ….. AND TREVOR CANE WITH A CLOTHESLINE KNOCKS HIM TO THE MAT! AND THE BAT JUST POPPED OFF THE CHEST OF TRAVIS SMITH! Smith’s chest is beginning to gush …. And Trevor Cane is FINALLY calling for the end of this match!”
JIVE: “Or is he calling for the end of Travis Smith?”
GHEORGHE: “Cane picks up Travis Smith ……. AND HE HITS HIM WITH A PILEDRIVER …. Trevor Cane now grasps his hands …. AND HE IS PRAYING!”
JIVE: “He is absolving himself of sin, Gheorghe .. Jesus, didn’t you ever go to church?”
GHEORGHE: “I’m Jewish, Nick…”
JIVE: “That explains so much ..”
GHEORGHE: “Trevor Cane lifts Travis Smith to his feet ….. AND HE IS KICKING THE BASEBALL BAT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!! Trevor Cane brings Smith to the corner ….. he sets him up…..”
(SFX: Fans pop huge!)
GHEORGHE: “OH MY GOD! TREVOR CANE WITH THE LIGHT … THAT RUNNING SITDOWN POWERBOMB RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BARBWIRED BASEBALL BAT!!! THAT BARBWIRE JUST GOT FORCED INTO THE BACK OF TRAVIS SMITH!!!”
JIVE: “Smith just might very well be in a hospital bed after this match! That could’ve pierced a major organ!”
GHEORGHE: “Trevor Cane rolls Smith over… AND HE GRABS THE BAT FROM OUT OF SMITH’s BACK ….. AND HE COVERS HIM! ONE ……………… TWO ……………………. THREE!!!! TREVOR CANE WINS!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JACOBS: “The winner of this match via pinfall….. ‘the Messenger’ TREVOR CANE!!!”
JIVE: “Cane was absolutely brutal with that barbwired baseball bat … Travis Smith never got a chance to do any damage with it!”
(EMTs run out from the back and make their way to the ring. Trevor Cane keeps his head hung as he walks to the back.)
GHEORGHE: “Here come the paramedics to take Travis Smith to the hospital …. he could be out of action for a while …”
JIVE: “If I just had my ass chopped up like he just did, I wouldn’t show my face around here for a while either!”
GHEORGHE: “Ladies and gentlemen, while we’re waiting for the paramedics to take Travis Smith out of the ring, and while they clean the blood from the ring … lets go back to Jason Tripp who has some information on the kidnapping of Cameron Cruise!”
