[ ARCO Arena ] Sacramento, California



PRESENTS ....

(FADEIN: The arena. The fans are buzzing.)

JIVE: “Let’s see if these guys are as good as they’ve been heral…”

(The lights in the arena go off.)

GHEORGHE: “What’s this?”

(CUEUP: "HM2 (Hell March 2)" by Westwood Studios plays on the public address system. The DREDD logo shows up on the screens as words begin to flash.)

VOICE OVER: “One battleground.”

VOICE OVER: “One Man. Our main enemy.”

(A montage of Jean Rabesque shows.)

VOICE OVER: “The war will be brought to him…”

Our attacks are never ending.”

He disrupted out assault.”

(A clip of Jean Rabesque fighting John Doe and Jonathan Marx off of Alister Hayze is shown.)

VOICE OVER: “Now, He WILL suffer. Tonight, his nightmare begins. And all of New ERA will see the true power of DREDD.”

JIVE: “Yes!! Show him, DREDD, show him!”

GHEORGHE: “DREDD with some strong words as BattleBRAWL is closer and closer.”

(The big screens then go bright white as we fade into the Black Water institute. Jane Doe is sitting at a table. A doctor is seated across from her. Jane is smoking a Marlboro Light as the doctor looks at her. Jane blows the smoke in his face as he coughs. Jane smirks her black hair covering her face.)

JIVE: “Oh great … it looks as if Jane Doe is back to herself …”

GHEORGHE: “I figured you’d be more apt to have a favorable opinion of her considering she’s a part of DREDD, Nick.”

JIVE: “That’s pushing it, Tom…”

DR. MILLER: “OK, Jane, how are you today?”

DOE: “Why do you keep calling me Jane that is not my damn name!”

DR. MILLER: “Yes it is.”

DOE: “No it’s really not, I think I would know my own name!”

DR. MILLER: “Ok, what is your name then?”

DOE: “Carlee.”

DR. MILLER: “Ok ‘Carlee’. Where were you born?”

DOE: “ Princeton, New Jersey. You’re a doctor you should know this crap with your damn masters degree.”

DR. MILLER: “You hit your head pretty hard on RAUCOUS a few weeks ago.”

DOE: “And your point is?”

DR. MILLER: “You sure you are thinking straight?”

DOE: “Yes I am you stupid jerk. God, what’s with the third degree. Can I just be let out of here?”

DR. MILLER: “Explain to me how you came to the conclusion that Carlee is your name.”

DOE: “Maybe cause my mom named me Carlee.”

DR. MILLER: “What’s your last name?”

DOE: “Maybe I will tell you later.”

GHEORGHE: “Jane Doe looks like she’s beginning to remember her identity!!”

JIVE: “Not so fast, Tom … the doctor doesn’t seem to think so.”

(Another doctor enters the room and sits next to Dr. Miller.)

DR. STONE: “So ‘Carlee’ what are you two talking bout.”

DOE: “This is an A and B conversation … C your ass out, ok?”

DR. STONE: “Well I can see that you’re in the typical good mood you always are in.”

DOE: “Yeah, whatever.”

DR. MILLER: “Well ‘Carlee’ why don’t you tell us about your childhood.”

DOE: “I had a mom, a dad, and a brother. But my mom died.”

JIVE: “Boo, hoo …”

DR. STONE: “How did your mother die?”

DOE: “Parkinson's disease.”

DR. MILLER: “‘Carlee’s making up stuff is not nice, now we know you have amnesia so please don’t play games with us.”

JIVE: “See! She’s making things up!”

DOE: “I am not lying to you! Plus I remember my whole child hood. And I don’t have that amnesia crap anymore!”

DR. STONE: “Ok, ‘Carlee’ if you are no long amnesiac then tell us your brother’s name, your last name, and then we will run some tests. Oh, and maybe you can tell us how old you were when she died.”

DOE: “FINE! I am Carlee, my last name is… .no forget that one, my brother’s name is Jonathan, I was 6 when she died. And…. my brother was 12.”

JIVE: “LIAR!”

GHEORGHE: “Nick, shutup.. we could be witnessing something incredible here!”

(Dr. Stone turns over to Dr. Miller whispering.)

DR. STONE: “Maybe the hit to her head brought her memory back.”

DR. MILLER: “It is possible, but it have to be a very hard hit.”

DR. STONE: “Well, watching the video she did hit the back of the head, had a very severe concussion to the part of the brain where the memory is.”

DR. MILLER: “Well, I have another patient to get to so we have to send her back to her cell.”

DR. STONE: “That is fine. Time for my break anyways.”

(The two doctors stand up as Stone leaves. Two guards enter the room and latch ‘Carlee’ in a straight jacket forcing her to her feet.)

DR. MILLER: “Well ‘Carlee’ we have to leave see you in a week.”

(The guards start pulling Doe out the door.)

DOE: “No! Not back cell. I will tell you my name, please I beg of you.”

DR. MILLER: “Goodbye ‘Carlee’.”

JIVE: “Yea! Don’t listen to her pleas!”

DOE: “No! My last name is Marx!!!”

(The crowd pops at the mention of this …. The door slams shut as Dr. Miller writes ‘Carlee Marx’ down on a piece of paper.)

GHEORGHE: “WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!”

JIVE: “SHE’s DELUSIONAL!”

DR. MILLER: “Nurse!”

(A nurse enters a room.)

DR. MILLER: “Run a search on ‘Carlee Marx’ with her blood sample.”

NURSE: “ Yes Dr. Miller, I will do it immediately.”

DR. MILLER: “Carlee Marx… hmm, her brother’s name is Jonathan…. And she wrestles in New ERA of Wrestling … I wonder if she is related to that ‘Gentlemen’ Jonathan Marx fellow they have?”

(The big screens cut off suddenly and the fans are still buzzing.)

JIVE: “HERESY!”

GHEORGHE: “Jane Doe is CARLEE MARX!! JONATHAN MARX’s sister!”

JIVE: “NO! That’s impossible … there’s got to be a good explanation for this!”

GHEORGHE: “I guess we will soon find out after those blood samples come back in!”

JIVE: “I GOT IT!”

GHEORGHE: “What?”

JIVE: “Jane Doe thinks she’s Carlee Marx because she was in DREDD with Jonathan Marx and John Doe ….. and Marx was the one who accidentally knocked her into the guardrail!”

GHEORGHE: “That’s very possible… but highly unlikely.”

JIVE: “Let’s just get this match over with please.”

(CUTTO: In the ring as Carl Jacobs stands in the center.)

JACOBS: “The following match is scheduled for one fall and has a thirty minute time limit! Introducing first…”

(CUEUP: ‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem as Phil Macintosh’s logo comes on the big screens. He runs out through the curtain and charges down the rampway. He rolls underneath the bottom ropes and stands in the ring.)

JACOBS: “He hails from Brooklyn, New York … standing six foot three and weighing in at 231 pounds ……. PHIL MACINTOSH!”

GHEORGHE: “Macintosh looks like he has tons of energy..”

JACOBS: “And his opponent…”

(CUEUP: ‘Sandman’ by AC / DC. The lights dim as Legend Killer walks through the curtain. He pauses at the top of the rampway and looks down at Macintosh. Slowly walking to the ring he stops a few times to glare at fans who are jeering him. He finally makes it to the ring.)

JACOBS: “Standing six foot three and weighing in at 299 pounds …. He hails from Montgomery, Pennsylvania ……….. the LEGEND KILLER!”

(SFX: Bell rings.)

GHEORGHE: “This match is underway and both of the men in the ring right now are circling each other waiting for their opponent to make the first move.”

JIVE: “I think both men are expecting the other to mess up first. This is both men’s first match here in New ERA and I’m sure that somewhere inside each of them they’re a little bit scared.”

GHEORGHE: “Phil Macintosh makes the first move as he comes in low on the Legend Killer … and he goes right after the legs! Macintosh grabs the legs of the Legend Killer and yanks him right to the mat! Macintosh hops on top of him and is now pounding away ….. and the referee is quick to intervene and get Macintosh off.”

JIVE: “Maybe that would fly in the other leagues they have been in, but New ERA officials are quick to try to break that stuff up … which is unfortunate in some cases.”

GHEORGHE: “Just in the cases where its people like Chaos, right?”

JIVE: “Well, yea.”

GHEORGHE: “Macintosh up to his feet and Legend Killer now getting to his …. Macintosh charging in at Legend Killer … goes for the clothesline … but Legend Killer ducks! Phil Macintosh against the ropes … on his way back ……. AND HE TRIPS ON THE WAY BACK AND FALLS FLAT ON HIS FACE!!! Legend Killer follows it with an elbow drop …. BUT MACINTOSH MOVES AND LEGEND KILLER NAILS THE MAT! Phil Macintosh back up and he is holding his face …. He grabs the arms of the Legend Killer and brings him to his feet …. He is trying to get him over with a fireman’s carry…”

JIVE: “A man of Macintosh’s size should never try this against someone like the Legend Killer.”

GHEORGHE: “Legend Killer easily blocking the attempt by Macintosh … and he drives the elbow into the head … Macintosh quickly releases the hold and he stumbles to his feet …. Legend Killer right behind him … AND HE DUMPS MACINTOSH OVER THE TOP ROPE!”

JIVE: “Macintosh lost track of where he was and that made him easy prey for Legend Killer."

GHEORGHE: “Legend Killer now turns around and looks to be gloa…. NO! Phil Macintosh grabbed the legs of the Legend Killer and tripped him up! Macintosh now dragging Legend Killer to the outside!”

JIVE: “Looks like tonight is going to start off wild. Not even seven minutes into the match and they’re already brawling outside.”

GHEORGHE: “Phil Mactinosh brings the Legend Killer over to the ringsteps …. And he drives the head of Legend Killer …. NO LEGEND KILLER BLOCKS AND RAMS PHIL MACINTOSH INTO THE GUARDRAIL!!! NOW HE TAKES MACINTOSH AND IRISH WHIPS HIM RIGHT INTO THE STEEL RING STEPS!!!!! The Legend Killer now with Phil Macintosh … and he bodyslams him onto the arena floor!”

JIVE: “Where is he going?”

GHEORGHE: “Legend Killer reaching over the guardrail … AND HE TAKES A CHAIR FROM A FAN!”

JIVE: “Can we be sued for that?”

GHEORGHE: “No, fans know anything can happen. Legend Killer has the chair …… he etches it back …. BUT THE REFEREE HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THE OUTSIDE AND GRABS AHOLD OF THE CHAIR! Now Legend Killer is trying to get the chair away from the referee!”

JIVE: “Apparently respect for authority isn’t his strong suit … I’m starting to like this guy!”

GHEORGHE: “Legend Killer arguing with the referee, and this is allowing Phil Macintosh to get some rest … AND NOW MACTINOSH IS CRAWLING BEHIND LEGEND KILLER!!!”

(SFX: Crowd groans.)

GHEORGHE: “AND MACINTOSH WITH A STIFF SHOT TO THE GROIN OF THE LEGEND KILLER BENDS HIM OVER!! The referee doesn’t know what is going on as he went flying backwards when Legend Killer released the chair …. And now Phil Macintosh picks up the chair!!! Macintosh swings it back … AND THE REF GRABS IT AGAIN!”

JIVE: “Jesus, just let them go at it!”

GHEORGHE: “Macintosh wisely lets go and turns back to the Legend Killer …. BUT LEGEND KILLER GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT!!! LEGEND KILLER GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET ……… HE PICKS HIM HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH INTO THE AIR AND DRIVES HIM TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”

JIVE: “He just chokeslammed him onto the arena floor!”

GHEORGHE: “Thank God he landed on the padding …. But that doesn’t help very much! The referee now slides back into the ring … and he is going to start counting! Legend Killer lifts up the ring apron …. And he’s fishing around for something underneath the ring! Legend Killer comes out …….. AND HE HAS SOME CAMERA WIRE!!! Legend Killer grabs the neck of Phil Macintosh and he begins to wrap some of that camera wire around his neck … AND HERE COMES THE REFEREE AGAIN!”

JIVE: “The referee needs to stand back or else he’s going to catch the brunt of the punishment one of these times.”

GHEORGHE: “Legend Killer tightening the grip on the rope as the referee comes and is yelling in his face …. And now he’s threatening to disqualify Legend Killer … one … two …. Three …. Four …. And Legend Killer finally releases the grip on the camera wire as Phil Macintosh almost turned purple! And finally the Legend Killer rolls Phil Macintosh back into the ring and the ref follows him in …. BUT LEGEND KILLER GOES TO THE CROWD AND GETS ANOTHER CHAIR!”

JIVE: “This guy just doesn’t listen!!! He’s going to go in there and utterly destroy Phil Macintosh!”

GHEORGHE: “The referee doesn’t see it yet … AND NOW HE DOES!! Legend Killer is stepping over the top rope with the chair and now the referee is getting in his face … and he is telling him that if he brings the chair in the ring he will be disqualified!”

JIVE: “What a great way to make your first impression!”

GHEORGHE: “Phil Macintosh is FINALLY starting to stir … Macintosh is on his feet …. AND NOW HE CHARGES TOWARDS THE REFEREE AND LEGEND KILLER …. THE REFEREE MOVES AT THE LAST MOMENT AND PHIL MACINTOSH NAILS THE LEGEND KILLER IN THE FACE WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK!!!! THE LEGEND KILLER HAS JUST FALLEN FROM THE ROPES TO THE ARENA FLOOR, CHAIR AND ALL!”

JIVE: “Phil Macintosh should be disqualified for interrupting the polite conversation that he and the referee were having!”

GHEORGHE: “That was anything but polite, Nick!”

JIVE: “I tend to disagree!”

GHEORGHE: “Phil Macintosh now HEADING TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! HE FLIES OFF … AND OH HOLY HELL!!! PHIL MACINTOSH WITH A FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH ON TOP OF THE LEGEND KILLER ON THE OUTSIDE!! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!”

JIVE: “And the referee’s count starts ….. now!”

GHEORGHE: “What a maneuver! The Legend Killer is not moving … and Phil Macintosh is rolling around holding his ribs as the referee gets closer and closer….”

REFEREE: “FIVE! SIX!”

JIVE: “Wait! What is Macintosh doing?”

REFEREE: “SEVEN! EIGHT!”

GHEORGHE: “PHIL MACINTOSH IS BARELY TO HIS FEET AND HE PICKS UP THE CHAIR!!! The referee rolls out of the ring ………. BUT NOT IN TIME AS PHIL MACINTOSH JUST CRUSHED LEGEND KILLER’s HEAD BETWEEN THE CHAIR AND THE ARENA FLOOR!! The referee is calling for the bell!”

(SFX: Bell rings.)

JIVE: “YES! The Legend Killer gets the victory here tonight … it doesn’t matter how…. Because it goes down as a ‘W’ in the books!”

GHEORGHE: “The referee taking the chair out of Phil Macintosh’s hands … and now he’s heading over to Carl Jacobs to inform him of the decision ……”

JIVE: “I think even Jacobs is able to call this one.”

JACOBS: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed by the referee …. That due to BOTH competitor’s disrespect of the rules here in New ERA …. That this match is a DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION!!!!”

JIVE: “WHAT!!!!”

GHEORGHE: “And the referee decided that both men were to blame!!! What a way to start off New ERA RAUCOUS!! A physical and intense first showing by these two talents!! We have to go to commercial … but when we come back ….. Jay and Alister Hayze will be going head to head … each man was victorious last week … whose streak will continue!? FIND OUT NEXT!!!”
