(CUTTO: Backstage. ‘the Wolf’ Chris McMillan is walking down a hallway, his duffle bag on his shoulder. As he prepares to turn a corner backstage, a very sensual, female voice calls out his name....)
VOICE: “St. Valentine's Day is coming, Chris, and I've missed you, Chris... have you not missed me??”
("The Wolf" looks around, but can't find the source of the voice calling out to him.)
(Suddenly, the lights in the hallway go out and it's pitch black. Slow walking is heard echoing in the hallway, and McMillan puts up a defensive guard, as the echoing becomes louder. Seconds pass, before ‘the Wolf’ is thrust up against the wall. The mystery female then grabs Chris by the cheeks and give him a deep kiss on the lips, startling "The Wolf". Then, just as quickly as before, he is pushed away from, as he fumbles for a light switch. A beat passes before he finally gets the lights turned on, but no one is there, and he's all alone.)
(CUTTO: Ringside.)
JULIUS: “What the hell was that all about?”
JIVE: “Who knows .. it was probably Jason Payne trying to get all Brokeback Mountain on us.”
GHEORGHE: “Well, it is entirely legal here in Massachusetts..”
JIVE: “Don’t we have a match now?!”
GHEORGHE: “Actually, the long awaited debut of Rocko Daymon is up next!”
JULIUS: “You are excited to see this washed up has been?”
GHEORGHE: "I'm excited to see that the first ever World Champion LARRY TACT is back in New ERA!"
JIVE: "I'm sure you are, Gheorghe .. you were always riding his crotch like the fanboi you are!"
GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is one of the greatest wrestlers of our time, Nick! Everyone in New ERA should be ecstatic that he's returned!"
JULIUS: "And why?"
JIVE: “He is one of the greatest performers of all time!”
GHEORGHE: "Shutup, Nick .. I know you're just mocking me now."
JULIUS: “We've already got a fantastic World Champion in the Phantom Republican .. Tact is a remnant of the past.. let's get on with the show..”
GHEORGHE: “Marx and Daymon are about to face off. I wouldn’t be surprised if John Doe and the rest of DREDD are in tow to support their fellow team member. But tensions are known throughout the business between Doe and Daymon.”
(CUTTO: In the ring. Jacobs stands, microphone in hand, as the lineup flashes on screen.)
(CUEUP: "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails.The fans get up on their feet as Rocko Daymon walks out from behind the curtain. Camera’s zoom in on a fans sign “Welcome Home Rocko!”)
GHEORGHE: “Fans rising out of their seats for Rocko Daymon!”
JULIUS: “I don’t see what all the big fuss is about.”
(Daymon slaps hands with fans on his way down to the ring.)
JACOBS: “Making his way to the ring … he stands six feet two inches tall, weighing in at two hundred forty three pounds…. hailing from Tacoma, Washington… ROCKO DAYMON!!”
(Rocko slides in the ring and warms up in a corner.)
GHEORGHE: “Look at Rocko Daymon! He looks ready for battle tonight!”
(CUEUP: ‘The Touch” by Stan Bush. The fans let out an array of jeers as Jonathan Marx, John Doe, Carlee Marx and Brandon Jacobs make their way to the ring.)
GHEORGHE: “These guys are disgusting. They all have to come down to the ring just to help Marx cheat to win.”
JIVE: “I think they are geniuses! Well, most of them that is..”
(Doe walks down the side jaw jacking the fans and yelling at some of them.)
JACOBS: “Making his way to the ring accompanied by DREDD … weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds and standing at six feet two inches … he hails from Prince, New Jersey…”
(Marx warms up before he gets in the ring.)
JACOBS: “‘Gentleman’ JONATHAN MARX!!”
(Marx slides in the ring while John Doe working his way towards Daymon’s corner.)
GHEORGHE: “It’s already starting .. as Doe is yelling at Daymon, and now Daymon responding ever so politely…”
JIVE: “He cussed him out, Gheorghe!”
GHEORGHE: “And here comes referee Eric Morales .. he’s telling Doe that he has two options to go backstage or stay away from Daymon!”
JULIUS: “Oh, this is going to be great! Nick! Your best friend is coming over here!”
JIVE: “No…..”
(Doe sits right in between Nick Jive and Tom Gheorghe. Tossing his feet on the desk, he puts on a head set.)
GHEORGHE: “Mr. Doe.”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JIVE: “What are you doing here?”
DOE: “Watching my good friend wrestle.”
JULIUS: “Such a kind man.”
GHEORGHE: “And this match is underway! Jonathan Marx extends a hand in good sportsmanship, but Daymon seems hesitant to do it…”
DOE: “Marx is a good man.”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon takes hold of Marx’s hand, and what a cheap shot from Jonathan Marx! Marx lured Daymon into thinking they would start this match off with a handshake and turned it straight to fireman’s carry take down. I can’t believe Marx would do that…”
DOE: “You better believe it. He knows what to use and how to get the upper hand, like right now, he took down Daymon, and he has him in a reverse arm lock. Smart, pure smart.”
JIVE: “Yeah, unlike other members of DREDD.”
DOE: “Remember last time I was here, Nicholas?”
JULIUS: “He so just called you by your first name .. that means you are a little bitch!”
GHEORGHE: “Rocko Daymon kips up to his feet and now he is using that arm bar to push Marx to the ropes. Daymon pulls the arm bar and whips Marx to the opposite ropes … Marx on the return, but Rocko drops down surprising Marx who hops over him! Marx into the opposite ropes and makes his way back to Daymon … SHOULDER TACKLE BY ROCKO DAYMON! Marx goes down as Daymon bounces off the ropes .. he drops the elbow to the gut… no, Marx rolls out of the way and then slides out of the ring.”
JIVE: “That was the smart thinking.”
JULIUS: “It’s because Marx takes pointers from that man right there.”
DOE: “Why thank you!”
JULIUS: “Not you asshole, I was pointing at Brandon Jacobs.”
GHEORGHE: “Referee Eric Morales starting the count as Jonathan Marx takes some words of advice from Carlee Marx and Brandon Jacobs.. he slides back in the ring and starts pointing at Daymon.”
DOE: “Psychology gentlemen, something Marx is great at. Watch, Marx will fake the tie up, and right when Daymon reaches BAM! Arm drag.”
JIVE: “They are circling each other, and I think you are full of shit.”
JULIUS: “I have five dollars on it!”
JIVE: “Double it!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx going in to the tie up, Daymon in as well, but Marx ducks! Marx grabs onto Rocko Daymon … and hits a big arm drag! Someone owes Dean some money it seems.”
JIVE: “Aw man..”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon to his feet as Marx uncharacteristically begins yapping at a fan .. he turns around… AND DAYMON RETURNS THE FAVOR! Marx is up…. HUGE BELLY TO BELLY OVER HEAD SUPLEX FROM ROCKO DAYMON!”
JIVE: “Marx practices that as well, John?”
DOE: “Would you shut your mouth?”
JULIUS: “Yeah! Shut your mouth!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx holding his back as Rocko Daymon forces him to his feet … Daymon spins him around and hooks, possibly looking for a belly to back suplex … but NO! Marx flips over the shoulder of Rocko Daymon and lands on his feet! Marx with the drop kick to the knee causing Daymon to drop to one knee …. he bounces off the ropes SHINNING WIZARD FROM MARX!”
JIVE: “As we are witnessing, Jonathan Marx is the brains and talent in DREDD.”
GHEORGHE: “Jonathan Marx using his agility and ring presence to bring down Rocko Daymon. Marx picking up Daymon .. but Daymon with a forearm to the gut, and another, one more for good luck … AND A DDT FROM DAYMON! Now he turns it over into rolling butterfly lock.”
DOE: “See, my buddy is in a bad position here … that lock ties your arms up so you are not able to grab the ropes. But I have faith! Marx is prepared.”
GHEORGHE: “Marx turning his wrists… he is rocking to his side… Daymon trying to hold Marx down and he widens his base…”
JULIUS: “SWEET! MARX IS GOING INBETWEEN DAYMON’S LEGS WHILE GETTING HIS ARMS IN POSITION FOR AN UNDERHOOK MANUEVER! AND DAYMON GOES FACE FIRST TO THE RING!”
GHEORGE: “Good move from Marx, quick thinking.”
JIVE: “Marx just tossed Daymon into the bottom ropes .. why would he want to do that??”
JULIUS: “Genius! Jonathan Marx is keeping the ref’s attention away from Rocko Daymon … and here comes Carlee Marx! Daymon trying to use the ropes to get back to his feet….”
GHEORGHE: “BUT CARLEE MARX IS NOW CHOKING DAYMON AS JONATHAN MARX IS ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE!”
DOE: “Good girl. The Marx family knows the advantages of teamwork.”
GHEORGHE: “But this is a singles match!”
JULIUS: “We know …”
GHEORGHE: “Marx grabs Daymon and tosses him to the turnbuckle … JonathanMarx walks over to Rocko Daymon .. and now he’s trying to put him on the top turnbuckle!”
JIVE: “Looks like it’s time for a superplex!”
GHEORGHE: “NO! DAYMON GRABS MARX AND PUSHES HIM TO THE OUTSIDE!!!! AND JONATHAN MARX JUST WENT HEADFIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!”
DOE: “NO! NO! NO! NO!”
JIVE: “Marx is out cold!”
JULIUS: “HOLY SHIT! I have no clue what Rocko Daymon is thinking, but is he is moving the ring steps further from the ring post… now what’s he doing? He is rolling a limp Marx in the ring …”
GHEORGHE: “This is .. weird .. Daymon brings Marx back over to the corner as he sits on the top turnbuckle.. He hooks Marx….”
JIVE: “LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!!!!!”
GHEORGHE: “DAYMON WITH A SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE AND MARX LANDS ON TOP OF THE RINGSTEPS!”
CROWD: “N.E.W.! N.E.W.!”
JULIUS: “Sweet Jesus!”
DOE: “God help us….”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon slowly moving and he rolls Marx in the ring. Daymon resting on the ring..”
JIVE: “Good .. take your time. Let Marx get … well, I guess as refreshed as he possibly could at this point.”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon finally slides into the ring and I think this is all she wrote…. wait… Carlee Marx is on the ring apron .. and she is running over towards Rock Daymon! Daymon turns around … AND CARLEE MARX GRABS HIS HEAD AND KISSES HIM!!”
JULIUS: “I know a Mrs. Daymon that is NOT going to be happy with that!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx is up… School boy!”
DOE: “PULL THE TIGHTS, JONATHAN! ONE ……. TWO …….. THREE! WHAT?! THAT’S BULLSHIT!”
GHEORGHE: “Kick out by Daymon! Marx arguing with the referee… and now Brandon Jacobs is on the ring apron! HE IS UNDOING THE TOP TURNBUCKLE PAD IN THE CORNER!!”
JIVE: “And he pulls the covering off!”
GHEORGHE: “Rocko Daymon on his feet and grabs Marx … and whips to that exposed corner.. NO! Marx with the reversal!!”
DOE: “ADIOS AMIGO!”
GHEORGHE: “AND DAYMON GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Marx grabbing the head of Daymon .. AND NOW HE STARTS SLAMMING IT INTO THE EXPOSED CORNER! Marx lets go as Daymon stumbles back … Marx with the shoulder to the knee… MARXISM! AND HE HAS IT LOCKED!”
JIVE: “Daymon is done now!”
DOE: “THAT’S RIGHT! SQUEEEZZZEEEE!!”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon struggling to get out of that STF, he is reaching to the ropes… and he got them!”
JULIUS: “What kind of luck is that?”
GHEORGHE: “Marx grabs Daymon and brings him to his feet ... now he kicks him in the gut… Snap suplex! He rolls … another snap suplex! Third times the charm… AND HE GETS IT!!! Marx rolling to his feet again and is calling for a Northern Lights Suplex….”
JIVE: “NO! DAYMON WITH THE KNEE TO THE FACE!”
DOE: “Shit…”
GHEORGHE: “Daymon hooking the arms of Marx…. BRAIN ROCKER REDUX!!!! It’s all over!”
DOE: “CARLEE!!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!”
GHEORGHE: “Rocko Daymon with the cover, BUT HERE COMES BRANDON JACOBS! Brandon Jacobs pulling the foot of Marx on the ropes!!!”
JULIUS: “ONE ……. TWO …. THRE-- NO! The ref sees the foot … Rocko Daymon gets off Marx and grabs Brandon Jacobs through the ropes! Marx lying on the mat as Carlee Marx slams on the apron .. she is screaming something to him …”
GHEORGHE: “Now Brandon Jacobs is grabbing onto Rocko Daymon! The referee is trying to break these two off of each other … he finally does! Daymon down to pick up Jonathan Mar… SMALL PACKAGE!!! ONE …….. TWO—KICKOUT! Brandon Jacobs provided enough of a distraction to give Marx a little breather ...”
JULIUS: “Distractions are smart; Daymon gets back to his feet…”
GHEORGHE: “CARLEE MARX IS GETTING A CHAIR!!!”
JIVE: “SHE’S GOING TO CRACK DAYMON WITH IT!”
DOE: “And look at that fantastic guy Jacobs.. he’s hopped back on the ring apron and has the referee’s attention!
JULIUS: “Carlee Marx slides into the ring right as Daymon turns… she SWINGS!!!”
GHEORGHE: “NO!!!!!!! DAYMON WITH A DROP TOE HOLD .. AND HE TRIPS CARLEE MARX!”
JULIUS: “OH MY LORD! SHE JUST CRACKED MARX OVER THE HEAD WITH THE CHAIR ON ACCIDENT!”
GHEORGHE: “Carlee Marx gets to her feet and starts backing up as she looks down in awe at her mistake … AND SHE BACKS RIGHT INTO ROCKO DAYMON!! Daymon grabs Carlee Marx … AND HE HAS HER IN A GORILLA PRESS!”
JIVE: “Uh, oh! Brandon Jacobs knows what’s going to happen and he’s trying to hop off the ring apron as fast as he can!”
GHEORGHE: “NOT FAST ENOUGH AS DAYMON JUST CATAPULTED CARLEE MARX RIGHT ONTO BRANDON JACOBS!”
DOE: “No! NO!”
GHEORGHE: “Rocko Daymon grabs the legs of Jonathan Marx… AND HE FLIPS OVER HIM AND PINS HIM DOWN!”
CROWD: “ONE ……… TWO …………. THREE!!!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JACOBS: “HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. ROCKO DAYMON!!”
DOE: “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!”
(Doe stands up and slides into the ring to check on Marx.)
GHEORGHE: “Rocko Daymon managed to overcome almost all of DREDD by himself and he picks up a well deserved win here tonight .. and DREDD is now limping to the back to lick their wounds … but I suspect that we’ll be seeing them with a renewed sense of vigor soon enough.”
JIVE: “As long as that means John Doe won’t be setting foot near an announce booth I’m fine with that. This smell is going to linger for hours!”
GHEORGHE: “Ladies and gentlemen .. we’ve got to take a quick commercial break .. but when we come back … it is tonight’s main event as Chaos .. will take on the man who was just out here with us, John Doe, in a Scaffold match for the PRODIGY© Classic Xtreme title!”
