(FADEIN: The green room. There are tables of food set out for the wrestlers. Larry Tact is sitting down at a table watching the 50” Samsung DLP TV that New ERA leaves for the wrestlers in the downtime. Victoria Hawke is seen in another part of the room getting some food, and Trevor Cane is walking out of the room. ‘Rage o Fire’ Jared Wells walks into the room… and stops short as he sees Tact.)
JIVE: “Uh-oh…”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact and Jared Wells in the same room … they had some heated words leading up to their bout today … and both were careful not to run into each other..”
JIVE: “Well it looks like that failed miserably.”
GHEORGHE: “Well, let’s hope that one or the other keeps the distance.”
(Tact stands up and smirks at Jared Wells … Wells stands there for a second before he begins walking over to Tact.)
JIVE: “I think Jared Wells took that as an invitation!”
GHEORGHE: “Wells is not one to back down from a fight … no matter where it is.”
(Hawke sees what is happening and slowly backs out of the room… Larry Tact glances at her, and as he does so, Jared Wells charges at him and clotheslines him over a table.. the food on the table goes flying to the floor …)
JIVE: “AND WELLS ATTACKS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!”
GHEORGHE: “We need to get some officials in there quick!”
(Wells and Tact are fighting on the floor as they begin knocking table after table over, spilling the contents to the floor .. shortly after referees and security run into the room and try to separate them …)
GHEORGHE: “Security is now there separating the two…”
JIVE: “We can’t have them killing each other before the match tonight …. AND JARED WELLS JUST THREW BOLOGNA INTO THE FACE OF LARRY TACT!”
(Security takes Wells by the arms and escorts him out of the room as he starts yelling that he wasn’t the one who started it. CUTTO: Ringside.)
GHEORGHE: “And I can only imagine what will happen when those two step into the ring tonight!”
JIVE: “Tonight’s show is already got me on edge … and now this!”
GHEORGHE: “That should be a great match, and speaking of great matches … I am heavily anticipating our next bout between Alister Hayze and Red Devastator.”
JIVE: “I can’t wait either … to watch Red Devastator utterly destroy Alister Hayze here tonight is going to be a treat.”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze has been on a roll since joining New ERA … and Red Devastator has proven himself to be quite a force … Hayze is very similar to Dylan McCormick in style..”
JIVE: “Devastator won’t let himself get fooled again.. he’s going to make sure all his bases are covered!”
(CUTTO: Carl Jacobs standing in the ring. The lineup for the match shows up on the screen before disintegrating into thin air.)
JACOBS: “The following match is scheduled for one fall and has a thirty minute time limit….. introducing first…”
(CUEUP: ‘One Vision’ by Queen. The lights fade from red to blue to purple as Alister Hayze steps out on to the ramp as the fans pop. He begins walking to the ring.)
JACOBS: “He stands five foot ten and weighs 220 pounds …. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee …. ALISTER HAYZE!”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze looking to continue his winning ways here tonight…”
(CUEUP: The theme to Psycho, edited with screams… Red Devastator walks out and starts walking down the rampway … he slides into the ring and raises his arms in the air as the fans continue to disapprove of him.)
JACOBS: “And his opponent… hailing from WASHINGTON D.C. …. He stands six feet ten inches tall and weighs 306 pounds …… the RED DEVASTATOR!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JIVE: “I don’t like Hayze. He is a brownnoser. Did you see him trying to get into Marceau’s pants earlier?”
GHEORGHE: “Puppy love, that’s all it is … Hayze appreciates Marceau’s beauty .. and plus, you should not be the one to talk about brownnosing …”
JIVE: “What is THAT supposed to mean?”
GHEORGHE: “I’m talking about Juliet’s new shoes that were delivered earlier today..”
JIVE: “I saw them on half.com … and figured she would like them!”
GHEORGHE: “Yea, ok… Alister Hayze is in the ring and he’s trying to get the crowd riled up … Hayze turns back to Devastator … and he is ready to get this match going!”
JIVE: “Should I call the morgue now, or wait halfway through?”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze telling Devastator that he wants to lock up!”
JIVE: “I think he’s lost his mind.”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator and Hayze lock up … NO! HAYZE DUCKS UNDERNEATH HIM! Alister Hayze against the ropes …. Comes back …. FLYING FOREARM RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF DEVASTATOR!”
JIVE: “But he’s still standing!”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze now behind Red Devastator … and he is kicking him in the back of the knee …. Hayze is trying to chop the big man down to the mat … once Devastator is stuck on the mat, I don’t think he can fend off Hayze’s attacks.”
JIVE: “Do you SEE the same guy I do? Even on the mat, Devastator is bigger than Hayze!”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator now turns around …. AND HE GRABS ALISTER HAYZE …… SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE BY DEVASTATOR SENDS HAYZE FLYING TO THE MAT!”
JIVE: “That’s it! Teach him a lesson he’ll never forget.”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator now walking over to Hayze, who is sitting up … AND DEVASTATOR WITH A KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Alister Hayze is on the mat … and Red Devastator reaches down ….. AND NOW HE IS PICKING UP HAYZE BY THE THROAT!”
JIVE: “CHOKE HIM! CHOKE HIM DEAD!”
GHEORGHE: “ALISTER HAYZE RAKES THE EYES OF RED DEVASTATOR AND DEVASTATOR DROPS HIM TO THE GROUND!”
JIVE: “God dammit.”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze taking a moment to catch his breath as Devastator is trying to stop the pain … Hayze again against the ropes …. FLYING CROSS BODY BLOCK!!! BUT DEVASTATOR CATCHES HIM!!”
JIVE: “But he just dropped him to the mat! He still can’t see!”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator shaking his head … and I think he’s alright now … Devastator drops the leg … but HAYZE MOVES! Devastator back on one knee … and Alister Hayze is right there to meet him with left hooks! And now Hayze with European uppercuts … he is trying to keep the big man on the mat!”
JIVE: “He’s scared, that’s what he is!”
GHEORGHE: “Or he’s smart..”
JIVE: “I’d put my money on scared.”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze with ANOTHER rake of the eyes …. And he bounces off the ropes …. And HE DROPKICKS RED DEVASTATOR IN THE FACE!”
JIVE: “Oh sure, kick a man while he’s down.. and he thinks Juliet Marceau is going to approve of that?”
GHEORGHE: “I doubt that Juliet Marceau would find that as a flaw.. in fact, I’m sure she’d probably find that more attractive.”
JIVE: “That just shows how little you know about Juliet.”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze now behind Red Devastator .. and he is trying to lock in a sleeper hold! Alister Hayze hooks the arm …. AND RED DEVASTATOR IS TRYING TO STAND!”
JIVE: “Hayze is a sitting duck if Devastator gets to his feet.”
GHEORGHE: “DEVASTATOR IS ON HIS FEET!! Alister Hayze is trying to apply more pressure on the sleeper hold … but I don’t think it is having any effect on Devastator!”
JIVE: “The man can’t feel pain … he might drop, but he won’t even know that he is losing oxygen!”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator now … DEVASTATOR BACKS HIMSELF INTO THE CORNER TRYING TO SQUASH HAYZE! But Hayze stands on the top turnbuckle!!! HAYZE RELEASES THE SLEEPER HOLD …. AND HE HOPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND BULLDOGS RED DEVASTATOR INTO THE MAT FROM THE TOP ROPE!”
JIVE: “Somehow Hayze is finding ways to bring Devastator to the mat!”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze gets to his feet … and Red Devastator is starting to get up …. Hayze with another dropkick to the head of Red Devastator ….. AND DEVASTATOR SWATS HIM ASIDE! Red Devastator gets to his feet …. AND HE GRABS ALISTER HAYZE!! Red Devastator sends Alister Hayze into the ropes …… Hayze on the way back ….. RELEASE SPINEBUSTER!!!!”
JIVE: “And Hayze is splattered all over the mat!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator gets up and raises his hands … and the fans are NOT supportive of him at ALL.”
JIVE: “Why are they booing him? He’s going to be World champion one day!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator now walking over to Hayze …. He picks him up …. And BODY SLAMS HIM TO THE MAT! Alister Hayze is holding his back … and I’m sure that no one can understand the type of pain he is in right now.”
JIVE: “I’m sure its not that bad, he’s just a wussy.”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator not letting up as he brings Hayze to his feet again …. And Devastator irish whips Hayze into the corner … AND HAYZE HITS THE CORNER HARD! DEVASTATOR CHARGES IN AND CLOTHESLINES HAYZE!!”
JIVE: “Devastator is just too big for Hayze to get past tonight .. He learned his lesson from McCormick .. don’t let your guard down against those who you dwarf.”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze is in the corner ….. AND DEVASTATOR PLACING A BOOT ON THE THROAT OF HAYZE …. AND HE’s CHOKING HIM! Alister Hayze is waving his arms around wildly ….. and the referee is over …. He is counting … one, two, three, four .. and Devastator lets go before five…. AND NOW DEVASTATOR DRIVES AN ELBOW INTO THE HEAD OF ALISTER HAYZE! Devastator repeatedly driving the elbow into Hayze’s head …”
JIVE: “Is that blood?!”
GHEORGHE: “AND ALISTER HAYZE IS BLEEDING! I think he has a cut lip!”
JIVE: “Maybe he’s bleeding internally! Devastator packs a hard hit!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator now sends Alister Hayze into the other corner…. And he charges in after … HAYZE HITS THE TURNBUCKLE HARD …. AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT! BUT DEVASTATOR CAN’T STOP AND HE HITS THE TURNBUCKLE CHEST FIRST!”
JIVE: “This is why I hate when people charge into the corner!”
GHEORGHE: “Devastator falls over the body of Hayze …… AND HE HITS HIS HEAD HARD ON THE MAT!”
JIVE: “I think he knocked himself out!”
GHEORGHE: “Both men are lying on the mat hardly moving aside from breathing!”
JIVE: “No! It can’t be this way!”
GHEORGHE: “The referee is counting both men …. He’s at four ….”
JIVE: “Get up!”
GHEORGHE: “And he is …. Alister Hayze that is!”
JIVE: “Oh god, Destrucity is going to happen again…”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze is walking around, he wipes the blood from his lip … AND HE SEES RED DEVASTATOR ON HIS BACK KNOCKED OUT! Hayze with the cover ……… ONE ……………….. TWO ………………. THREE—NOOOOOOOOO!”
JIVE: “DEVASTATOR KICKED OUT!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator practically tossed Alister Hayze 5 feet in the air!”
(SFX: Crowd boos.)
JIVE: “Look! Juliet Marceau is walking down the rampway!”
GHEORGHE: “What is she doing here?! She totally blew him off earlier to talk to Dylan McCormick!”
JIVE: “Why would she want to watch this loser?”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze doesn’t see her yet …. He sends Red Devastator into the ropes … Devastator comes back … AND HAYZE DROPS HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Alister Hayze floats over and locks on a side headlock …. AND NOW HE IS STARING RIGHT AT JULIET MARCEAU WHO IS ON THE RAMPWAY!”
JIVE: “How disgusting! His eyes just lit up!”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze releases the headlock and bends over the ropes to wave to Marceau who rolls her eyes ….. Hayze turns around …. BIG BOOT BY RED DEVASTATOR ….. BUT HAYZE SLIDES UNDERNEATH IT! Hayze against the ropes ….. FLYING FOREARM AND RED DEVASTATOR CRASHES TO THE MAT!!!”
JIVE: “Alister Hayze is looking around to try to do something else to catch Marceau’s eyes… he better be careful.”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze heads up top!! Hayze is pointing to his elbow, and grins at Marceau! AND JULIET MARCEAU LOOKS AT HER WATCH! HAYZE FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE ……… AND NAILS THE TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP ONTO RED DEVASTATOR!”
JIVE: “You know what .. forget it … I want him to lose… I’m not even going to bother saying it to Hayze.”
GHEORGHE: “Hayze now back up and smiles at Juliet Marceau … AND SHE IS TELLING HIM TO GO UP AGAIN!”
JIVE: “What?!”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze nods eagerly …. AND HE’s HEADING UP TOP!”
JIVE: “Marceau is walking down the rampway! What the hell is she doing?! She can’t like what she is seeing!”
GHEORGHE: “Alister Hayze looking at her … and he’s telling her that this next elbow drop is just for her!”
JIVE: “RED DEVASTATOR IS UP! DEVASTATOR IS UP AND HAYZE DOESN’T SEE HIM BECAUSE HE’s TOO FOCUSED ON MARCEAU!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator walks over to the corner ……. AND HAYZE SEES HIM!! BUT ITS TOO LATE!! Red Devastator grabs Alister Hayze by the throat ……… AND HE CHOKE SLAMS HIM FROM THE TOP ROPE ALL THE WAY TO THE MAT!! HOLY SHIT!”
JIVE: “And look at Marceau! She has a smirk on her face as she turns and hurries up the ramp! She was just trying to get him to lower his guard!!! SHE IS A SMART, SMART WOMAN!”
GHEORGHE: “Red Devastator picks up Alister Hayze …….. EXTORTION!!!! Red Devastator with the cover ….. ONE …………….. TWO ……………… THREEEEE!!!”
JIVE: “Yes!!!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JACOBS: “The winner of this match, via pinfall ……. The RED DEVASTATOR!”
GHEORGHE: “Juliet Marceau totally used Alister Hayze’s infatuation against himself! And now Red Devastator walks out of here the winner!”
JIVE: “Tonight is a great night ….. Chaos wins …. Red Devastator wins ….. now all we need is Larry Tact to win … and then John Doe get carried out of here in a stretcher and I’ll be a happy, happy man!”
GHEORGHE: “Ladies and gentlemen we’ll be back after these messages … how despicable.”
(CUTTO: Backstage … Juliet Marceau still has a huge smile on her face. She walks up to a dressing room, knocks on the door and enters it. As she shuts the door, the camera fades to commercial on the name tag: McCORMICK. FADETOCOMMERCIAL.)
