Who Are You? Ooo-ooo!

* Mr. Entertainment RP for C02.


(((FADE IN to the set of “That’s Entertainment”. There’s a drumkit and riser in the band area, but we PAN ROUND before we get a good look at the logo. The crowd are cheering as “That’s Entertainment” by The Jam plays. PANNING ROUND still, we see the stage, and near the logo there’s a casket for some reason. Finally we catch sight of Mr. Entertainment. He’s sat behind his desk on stage, and he’s forgone his leather jacket to allow us to see his “Mr. Entertainment – 1 W, 0 L” T-shirt. He waits for the crowd to stop cheering before he speaks, his voice dripping with so much arrogance you’d think Rick Martel had been spraying the room)))

ME: What did I say? Hm? When Cammy came ou’ an’ said he wanted ta be world champ, talkin’ abou’ this an’ that, I promised that this was a new New ERA – an’ tha’s what it was at the first Cyberstrike. A real new ERA! An’ it was almost the perfect start to this New ERA, with ME

Mister Entertainment

Putting the crowd out of Cammy’s delusional misery an’ beatin’ him fer the one, two… three.

What, ya expected somethin’ else? Cammy’s stuck in the past, man. It’s time ta move forward. Onward, an’ upward, ta creatin’ MY vision. A true New ERA that’ll stand the test o’ time as the greatest professional wrestlin’ company EVER! An’ ta do tha’, I’ve gotta continue showin’ people who can cut it, an’ who can’t.

Now – at Cyberstrike I watched a lot o’ talented people, sat in the crowd watchin’ some truly mediocre wrestling. Even the eye candy in the triple threat couldn’t save tha’ match from suckin’ so bad, the crap-stained rug in the dressing room tha’ Erik Black was sleepin’ on got clean. Who ever said First was a good wrestler clearly needs their prescription updatin’.

Because not ONE of the other guys an’ gals on the roster has what it takes. None of ya deserve ta lace up my boots or even say “hi” ta Big Greasy Chuck the guy who wipes the nose of the guy who cleans the toilets!

Cameron Cruise? Well, we knew he’d never beat ME

Mister Entertainment.

But what abou’ the others, huh? The Druid? Couldn’t beat Jason Payne without some mindless MORONS causin’ distraction after distraction after distraction. Jason Payne? Couldn’t ignore the distractions an’ allowed himself ta get beat by a guy who needed mindless morons ta help him pick up a win.

Well, wha’ abou’ match number three? Jonny Boy Marx beatin’ up on Adrian Willard? Willard came here ta collect a pay cheque, an’ Jonny Boy? Took WAAAAAAAY too long ta pick up the win. Jonny, yer a slouch! Quit slouchin’, because there’s no room fer tha’ in MY… New ERA.

I thought we’d have somethin’ ta watch when Stacy walked down ta the ring, but she lost to a grown man who took Golgol Bordello’s advice a lil’ bit too far. First, well… he just ain’t. An’ Alexander Roslov? He made the match so damn simples tha’ it wasn’t even cute.

Chaos… Chaos, Chaos Chaos… what happened to the Chaos we were promised? The guy who’d kick ass, not bother takin’ names, an’ kick the ref’s ass after the match, huh? Ya looked so damn tame, man. The Chaos I was hopin’ fer wouldn’t’ve gotten disqualified because the ref would’ve been cackin’ his pants!

And Michael? Montgomery, wasn’t it? What kinda man lets himself get torpedoed by his opponent so easily? I heard ya’ll had a spine. When the ref DQ’d Chaos you should’ve been right back in the ring demandin’ the match continued!

You, Michael Montgomery, are a spineless weasel.

Finally – FINALLY… we were meant ta see a great match between the New ERA Champion, an’ a man by the name of Larry Tact.

An’ what happened? The champ got blindsided because Larry didn’t think he could pick up the win on his own. Honestly, how Tactless can ya be, Larry? Need lil’ bro ta hide behind? Yer almost as spineless as Michael.

An’ Hart… why didn’t ya lay First out, dude?! What kinda message are ya sendin’ to the rest of the lockerroom when ya need a grown baby bail ya out? Grow a set or move over, Shawn, because tha’ belt needs a REAL champion! An’ in a few short weeks after I’ve banked MY shot at what’s gonna be MY title? Well, we’ll see whether yer really the best or all talk like it seems like.

Now… am I… yep, nearly forgot, there was one more person who turned up at Cyberstrike. A certain… brother… of Larry Tact. A guy who’s out ta help his big bwuvver. A guy called… Fanatic!

(((SFX: Dramatic tone of doooooooo~m!)))

ME: Well… what can I say abou’ Fanatic?

(((SFX: Dramatic tone of doooooooo~m! that ends with a slight questioning raise in pitch)))

Seriously, what can I say? No only have I never heard o’ him or what he’s done here in New ERA, nobody I’ve asked has been able ta find him either! An’ I’ve asked some experts a’ deductin’. My guests this evening… from Crime Scene Investigation an’ flown in at my expense… Gil Grissom an’ Zombie Warrick Brown!

(((CUE UP: “Who Are You?” by The Who! William Peterson, in his role of Gil Grissom, walks out from the backstage area, knocking on the casket which slowly creaks open… showing Gary Dourdan with a grey make-up applied and power in his hair to make him look the part. He moves slowly, bringing his kit bag with him. Lord knows how much this cost Mr. Entertainment… the two actors shake hands, before sitting in two chairs that’ve miraculously appeared next to the desk)))

ME: Wow… Warrick, ya look good fer the undead.

ZOMBIE WARRICK (ZW): Thanks, man.

ME: Ya didn’t happen ta see Fanatic in tha’ casket, did ya?

ZW: No. It’s deader in there than Doc Robbins’ morgue.

GRISSOM (GG): We haven’t even found a bug that looks like Fanatic, and we’ve tried.

ME: I was gonna ask, Gil. How did the investigation go?

GG: Well, we found some trace on the entrance ramp that was used at the Agganis Arena. We sent it back to the lab, but Sarah wasn’t able to get a hit in any database.

ME: Woah… well, what abou’ the TV footage?

ZW: We sent that to Archie but didn’t have any luck.

ME: What do ya mean?

ZW: Turned out Fanatic didn’t get caught on camera.

ME: …what?

ZW: Take a look.

(((CUT TO: The big screen, where we see silent footage from the end of Cyberstrike. We can see Larry Tact talking on the microphone, pointing to something at his side, but the space that you’re sure had been filled by a “masked man” at Cyberstrike is strangely blank… even of any background)))

ME: Looks ta ME

Mister Entertainment

Tha’ Fanatic cut the tape?

GG: That’s what the evidence seems to suggest, but we’ll keep looking. We’ll follow the evidence until we find something.

ZW: Well, Grissom will. I’m still not used to being out and about, and I really want to try and get to see my son.

Crowd: Awww!

ME: Well I know ya did all ya could. Who wants ta see the footage?

(((The crowd cheer as we CUT TO: A montage of shots feature Gil and Zombie Warrick, to the sounds of The Who again. They’re searching in:

The Nevada Desert

The Agganis Arena

Zombie Warrick’s casket, with Jim Brass holding his gun trained on the camera

The “That’s Entertainment” studio!

You’re living room… it’s disgusting in there!

And finally, a local trash can in Boston, where we can see a picture of Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson from the late 1980s)))


ME: Looks like ya went high an’ low ta try an’ find somethin’ on Fanatic!

GG: It’s the toughest case we’ve ever had.

ME: Well… lookin’ at the evidence, I think I’ve got a good idea what I’m in fer.

ZW: Wait what?

ME: Yeah. Ya see, here’s another coward.

GG: How do you figure?

ME: One, he hides behind a mask. Two, he came a’ Shawn Hart with a steel chair. Three, he came through the crowd rather than from the front. Four, he hit Hart from behind, an’ Five?

He’s Larry Tact’s brother.

(((LOWER LIGHTS as a spotlight hits Mr. Entertainment. He stands, grabbing a microphone from under the desk, and he walks around to lean against the edge of the desk)))

ME: Ya see, Fanatic, despite the fact I can’t find a thing that makes ya relevant in New ERA – whether it’s a profile on the New ERA website or anyone who’s actually met ya – I’m ready fer this match. Because when we hit the arena I don’t need ta know you, the person. I don’t need ta know what yer skills are in the ring.

I know yer a coward. I know yer gonna look out for yer likkle bwuvver – an’ I know that I’m gonna beat you.

I’m buildin’ New ERA into a true EDIFICE, Fanatic. I ain’t got time ta waste babysittin’. I ain’t got time ta waste lookin’ fer tapes of someone who turns up an’ hits people with chairs from behind.

You get one chance ta man up an’ entertain ME

Mister Entertainment.

An’ tha’s all. The rest of the lockerroom, well they get another week ta try. Whoever I face in week three will be given the same choice yer getting.

Impress the biggest star New ERA has an’ prove ya belong, or get outta my way. Don’t even think yer gonna win, because although all fanatics are delusional, you ain’t got a chance.

I ain’t a coward, Fanatic. In this, the new New ERA tha’ I’m helpin’ ta build, I’ve already proven ta be a hundred times the man you are, an’ at Cyberstrike I’m gonna prove it again by facin’ ya man to man, head on. If you’ve got the guts ta do tha’ – ta face ME

Mister Entertainment

In the here an’ now, one on one, then bring it. Whoever ya are.

An’ the rest of the New ERA lockerroom? I wasn’t impressed after the first show, so unless ya want yer New ERA career ta be deader than Zombie Warrick – pick it up, or move outta my way.

Now, in more pleasant news, my musical guests… GOGOL BORDELLO!

(((The fans go WILD as Gogol Bordello start playing “Start Wearing Purple” while we FADE OUT)))

The New ERA standard: Redefined.

* Fanatic RP for C02.


FADE IN.

We find ourselves in an uncovered, undecorated room of brightest white. Standing in the room is the one known as Fanatic. In clear contrast to the room, he wears a black bodysuit, with an “infinity” sign embedded in gold across a black mask with mesh-covered breathing and eye passages. He also wears gloves of interweaving black and gold design. He stands without a movement, almost inhumanly still, staring back at us intently. Then, stepping in front of the view and next to him, is Larry Tact. He wears a pair of stonewashed blue jeans and a black button-down shirt, his golden blonde hair tied back and a smirk on his face.


LARRY TACT: “Entertainment. What is entertainment? Just flip through your cable TV channels and you’ll find it’s the most subjective thing in the world. Nobody wants to settle on any one thing as entertainment-- so much so, in fact, that they’ve gone and EXPANDED the selection of channels on TV through satellite! Now we have even more choices to provide us our entertainment. Hell, even on Super Bowl Sunday, the largest rated event in the USA, there are still alternatives for the scant few people who feel the Super Bowl isn’t ‘entertaining enough’ for them. Instead, they have Godawful creations like the Puppy Bowl! Because that’s… entertainment. To a certain few, at least.

And yet, despite all of that… in New ERA, we have ONE MAN who thinks he can embody all that encompasses Entertainment!”

He chuckles.

“I know I’ve been called arrogant before, but… WOW. I mean, that has to take the prize for arrogance. It hasn’t been since… since… well, the best of Shawn Hart, maybe, since I’ve seen someone as arrogant as that. Or maybe Jonathan Marx trying to pawn off time travel to the fans. That was close… but this probably tops that, if for nothing more than the longevity we‘ve been subjected to it.”

“Mr. Entertainment. Have you really provided us with everything that satellite TV can do? No, of course you haven’t. Because you are, without question, E… A FRAUD. You want people to believe you can represent Entertainment? It’s going to take more than wrestling, pal. Your calling isn’t THE ring, it’s in a THREE rings environment, because the CIRCUS is the only place where a delusional whack job like you belongs!”

He raises a finger.

“And I can almost hear the people, ever-ready to criticize me and what I’m bringing. They’ll look over my shoulder and see this man… (motions)… my brother, and target him. You people will all try to place him in that same circus as E belongs, but you’re all wrong. Because as usual, you all jump to conclusions and judge just on what you see, instead of THINKING. You’re all just a bunch of sheep to the slaughter, but fortunately for you all, I am ready to guide you. I will be the hand that removes the veil that ‘Entertainment’ has certainly created in front of you. I’ll bring clarity to your stereotypical beliefs.“

He shakes his head.

“See a guy in a costume and mask, he must be some freak, right? WRONG. This man is no freak. But he is what you see and what you will hear.“

“FANATIC.”

He pauses, looking at Fanatic, and nodding with approval.

“I was a little surprised, and completely satisfied, to see this match for his in-ring debut for New ERA. Because who better to match up with? It is the easiest and most honest comparison there is.”

“In Fanatic, you will find someone who truly DOES embody the name he has taken up. This is a man who is purely motivated to his cause. He is unequivocally dedicated to what he pursues. Like I said before, Fanatic performs on the passion for what he loves, and wrestling is certainly on that list. And when he is focused and determined as he is, Fanatic will go to the… let’s just say, necessary lengths… in order to accomplish what he sets out to do, or where to go. He is utterly GENUINE and real. Which is why this match suits him perfectly. Because, now that you’ve all had the veil lifted, and see things for how they are… who better to have Fanatic go against than the fraud that is ‘Mister Entertainment?’

Tact circles around Fanatic, putting his hands on the shoulders of the masked Enigma.

“And it goes far beyond winning this debut match. The grand design is never too large for this man’s sight. At Cyberstrike 01, you all were given a taste of what he is capable of. You will get a little more, upcoming. But don’t for a second think it will all be laid out for you there. There is plenty on the docket for Fanatic, and there is no doubt that the World Heavyweight Championship lies in the distance. Whether it’s Hart, Chaos, or anyone else… this man will be on the hunt.”

“Understand this, E. You are a former Champion of this promotion, but that means nothing to a man who has fought wars. And this man, physically young as he is, has been in many a war already. If you look around a bit, I’m sure you’ll have spotted him elsewhere. He has undergone a bit of an attitude adjustment, by my guidance, of course. But now, he has become an even stronger foe for all who get in his way. Look no further than Shawn Hart, last week. By the end of the night, he was downed by the hand of Fanatic, just as I proclaimed would be. I laid out the future of New ERA right there, and anyone who doesn’t believe me will find it difficult to argue, once they’ve had their chance to tangle with Fanatic.”

“New ERA, I will not claim to define what entertainment is, but I do know that Cyberstrike will have a match not to be missed. Because Fanatic is here, and he brings with him a unique force of dynamic talent, which will rebrand entertainment like this company has never known before.”

“Best of all… he is dedicated to the cause I have laid out. And that means, I will bring the next reign of New ERA in my image…“

“The image of Fanatic… and the legacy… of TACT.”

He massages Fanatic’s shoulders momentarily before bringing his hands down in a slap on them. Despite the clear force applied, Fanatic does not appear to budge.

FANATIC
“Mister Entertainment … at Cyberstrike … the wave of the Craze will wash over you …”

“… all in a blur.”
