Fort Wayne, Indiana House Card

Memory?

(the camera comes in on Jean Rabesque, wearing the norm, standing in the same spot, another amused expression upon his face)

Rabesque: Memory gone again Sean? Not feeling quite alright up top? Blanking out for mysterious reasons? Your revisionist's version of history is honestly something I find quite amusing. You speak of how Troy Martinez can't trust me, because I'll use him for what I want, and then stab him in the back. Well, if I seem to remember correctly, I went through a period of blurred judgment, a period where I tried to befriend an up and coming kid, who thought, if given the right guidance, might have a future in this business. I made attempts to tag with this individual, and even bailed him out a few times. All seemed to be well, until that individual decided to stab me in the back. And you ask, whom could I be referring to? Who would have the audacity to pull something like that? That man.... is none other than Sean Edmunds. Yeah, that's right Sean, I never forgot. I made the attempt Sean, I was willing to work with even you, but that didn't fit into your agenda. No, Sean, all you cared about was you, nothing less. Now, you claim that you have 100% faith in your partner, but can your partner have 100% faith in you?

You see Sean, I've proven time and time again that I can put by-gones aside with just about anybody. Let's look at my past tag partners: Nevada Smith, Suicide, Dusty Thompson, Stone Wolf, Billy Matthews, the list goes on and on. Now, I wasn't friends with a single one of those guys, yet I was able to successfully tag with all of them. Now, I've never claimed to like Martinez, hell, just a few months ago we were on opposite sides of a bitter war, but I'm a professional Sean, and if tolerating Martinez for one night means getting the job done, then like it or not, that's exactly what I'm going to have to do.

But, let's analyze this just a bit. What would I have to gain from turning on Troy in the middle of a match? Anybody who knows me knows how much I hate to lose, and that would basically ensure that. I don't want to make this three on one anymore than he does. And trust me, Sean, I most definitely don't want to give your mediocre ass any more satisfaction. No, I have a simple agenda, I hate you, I hate Skieler. That's really all to it. Try's got some talent, and if he wants to help me kick a little ass, the more the merrier. No, you and Skieler might not have a history, but what happens if he gets in your way? Judging by his apparent silence, he sure doesn't have a great deal to contribute so far, so what happens then Sean? You going to stab him in the back like you have in the past? Your track record speaks for itself there Sean, your past is a lot more littered than mine.

And, one more time, am I talentless? I guess you could make that claim? But, if that were true, then how are you going to stomach going your entire career NEVER beating a man with as little talent as myself one on one. I think that's the million-dollar question. You see, I've never needed a new gimmick every week, I've never needed any kind of "on the scene" location shots. Why? Because I can outwrestle you. PERIOD. Whether I'm talented or talentless, I'm still BETTER THAN YOU! End of discussion, have a nice day. No false gimmicks, no false hype, I am (pauses, and winks, in a mocking manner) Jean Rabesque.

RE: Here's How It's Done

::FADEIN on the GLCW banner backstage. 'THE WOLF' CHRIS MCMILLAN stands there, attired as usual::

THE WOLF: Lots of mismatched tag teams floating around on this card, it seems. I don't know a damn thing about this Showtime turd, but I'm pretty confident that he'll hold up his end. Now, as far as our opponents go ... well, I almost don't wanna waste the words. You've got one guy who's name by definition literally means cowardly. You've got another who takes his name from a ... get this ... Kevin Bacon movie.

THE WOLF: Now, I don't know what I did to get thrown in to this clusterf*ck, but I'll play along. I'll be a good little soldier and climb into the ring with Wonderboy and the Dynamic Duo. Well have some chuckles, a few laughs, and then maybe we can get on to some serious competition. Maybe that's too much to ask, but a guy can hope, right?

THE WOLF: I get the feeling that words are wasted on Kraven and Flathead, so I ain't gonna sit here and waste my time. I'll do all my talking in the ring. Bring your 'A' game, boys. While you're busy flailing around and pretending to be wrestlers, we'll be busy handing you your own a*ses. I'm trembling with antici ...


... pation.

[QFCWarren]

Warren A. Nickolson:Lost Cause Chris O Neill huh. When The Emerald Warrior gets thru with you you will be biting the dust.
The Emerald Warrior:This is it Lost Cause because your days as a wrestler is done. I will torture rack you and you can't do anything about it. But also I can't believe how unlucky I was losing to Savage and Manson. But my luck will change to the better.
Warren A. Nickolson: How so Emerald Warrior?
The Emerald Warrior:Training dude lots of training. I'm learning new moves everyday and soon we will see all of them. Also with you on my side we can't lose.
Warren A. Nickolson:We will see dude. But you better impress me now because everyone else isn't impressed at all. You must do better.
The Emerald Warrior:I will Warren and Lost Cause will feel the worst of it and that's the truth.
As a point to prove he attacked Jon Savage in the parking lot and put him in the hospital for a few days. Then he attacked Manson in the dressing room beating the living hell out of him and put him in the hospital for 3 days.
After the 2 sneak attacks They have something to say.
Warren A. Nickolson:I thought so Savage you didn't have a chance to beat The Emerald Warrior and maybe that's the message. Don't mess with The Emerald Warrior!
The Emerald Warrior:Manson you have learned the hard facts of life is to never mess with The Emerald Warrior or you go to the hospital. Same thing with Jon Savage.
Warren A. Nickolson:For right now this TV spot is done!

The phone call....

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Nov-02-02 AT 11:24 PM (EST)](“What a fiasco that was folks, the GLCW house card was a complete disaster, thanks to the vicious attack perpetrated by none other than Kraven and Flatliner… The GLCW tag team champions, apparently did not like the fact that they had to cut their previous promo short, so they unleashed their rage upon four unsuspecting fools who just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time… It was quite a scene folks, but I am sure many of you know that, for you were witness to their brutality… And in its path 3 individuals lay in the hospital recuperating from injuries sustained for just being there… It is obvious that they have sent out a message, and that message was just as brutal, just as ruthless as getting bum rushed and mugged, for that’s what it was, a vicious mugging folks! After that vicious attack folks, the GLCW TV event was thrown into disarray, almost 45 minutes of empty airtime in which the producers quickly thought of ways to fill in that empty airtime… But the damage had been done, and according to my reliable sources hell to pay afterwards! And the recipient of THAT rage was none other than JC himself! He was called in immediately to Mr. Malec’s office, present was several CEO’s as well as King Krusher, JC apparently knowing what would happen within the confines of Maelc’s office thought wisely and bought his attorneys… Well folks, I have it on good authority that JC was given a very serious tongue lashing and an even greater fine! When it was all over, the door flew open and like a bat out of hell emerged JC with his attorneys in toll… With a distorted face, full of rage he enters his limo and it drives off, his attorneys looking at each other, call for a cab, their ride having left them behind… When we see JC again he is in his office ranting and raving as he paces back and forth while on the phone”…)

JC: HEY! Do you seriously think I like having to pay these fines!? This one is a beaut! $25,000.00! You and Flats are going to have to tone this crap down a little! You just can’t go around interrupting events like that! It wasn’t their fault you guys got there late for your promo, what you should have done is just left it at that! Your little message just cost me 25 big ones! What do you mean so what!? You just can’t come and trample on Malec’s investment, because it will ALWAYS cost me money! You guys are the GLCW tag team champions; you just can’t go around roughshodding everybody… No wait I…

(“It was at this point that I entered his office and judging by his facial expression, I was persona non grata at this particular moment, but you know me… I stood there watching as he tried to reason with the UA, and judging by the way the conversation was going he was at the losing end of this argument… And while I have to act like a professional I was a bit overjoyed to see JC squirming and pleading… I noticed that he places the call on speakerphone, staring at me with a devious smirk, he says”…)

JC: Hey guys I’m going to put you on speakerphone, Guess who just crawl out from under a rock!? You can make up for that lost time now… Get you’re a$$ over here Rico… Now let’s finish up that promo, so let me ask you this Rico!? Do you think it was right what the guys did to those rookies!? It cost me 25 grand to keep them out of trouble and getting the belts taken away from them… I keep telling them that they need to tone that down a bit now aren’t I right!?

RS: Hey, don’t get me involved in your problems! I just came by to really speak to the UA, they were nowhere to be found and I thought maybe you knew where they were, and lo and behold you’re speaking to them… Guys, mind if I ask a few questions!?

JC: What’s the matter Rico, you’re not allowed near there huh!?

RS: I heard that neither are you! But anyway, Kraven why did you guys do what you did last week!? What was the purpose of disrupting the GLCW TV house card!? Is that part of what we can expect from you guys!? What about your opponent, "Showtime" Steven James and "The Wolf" Chris McMillan!? These are two up and coming stars in the GLCW, any comments you want to make!?

KRAVEN: Comments!? You want us to comment on our next victims!? Didn’t our actions make that comment!? DO I have to once again do this promo crap!? Is that what you want!? For me to come and spew some fancy bull crap, about how me and the big man are going to beat from pillar to post our two next little sacrificial lambs! Is that what everyone wants to hear!? Do you also want to hear what we have to say about what we think about KK, Maelstrom and the rest of Malec’s posse!? You would like that wouldn’t you!? That’s what you sick piss heads get off on, isn’t that right Rico!? You love to hear us talk and spew out crap about what we’re going to do to each other! Don’t you, Rico!?

RS: Well sort of… I thought you might want to say something about what Showtime and the Wolf had to say…

FLATLINER: There’s nothing to say about their 30 seconds promo… They better pray that their survival skills are a hell of a lot better than that crap they spewed out… Call us what you like wolfie; it’s not going to make any damn difference… You two slugs think you’re nickel slick, but we got your penny change… And you’re right wolfie, your little words are wasted on us, cause they mean nothing to us… So you bring your chump ass along with that other ersatz into the ring so we can show you what the rest of the GLCW is painfully learning about us… And Rico, this interview is OVER!!!!

(“Just like that the phone went dead… Now I know these two fellas, and you better bring you A+ game and be prepare for anything… And remember boys, Kraven and Flatliner don’t play nice… I hate to say this but I will anyway, you guys don’t really stand a chance; Malec in my opinion has erred in putting you two together to take on one of the most aggressively vicious duo around… But I will give you some advice; you better get together and think as one… Cause they DO… Good night folks, and as always the pleasure has been all YOURS”…)

The Good Old Days

((FADEIN: 'Simply Sensational' is standing at a ticket desk at a movie theatre somewhere in Indiana. The girl manning the ticket booth slowly gives him his ticket as she stares at him. He gives her a look of disgust before turning around.))

EDMUNDS: "They're everywhere. They look at you when your on the streets. They look at you when your in your local supermarket. They even have the audacity to hold up your time when all you want to do is watch a stupid ass movie like Ghost Ship. I can't stand these people. They try their damndest to be apart of something you do. (smiles) And I've been annoyed with them ever since I have been a *professional wrestler. That's why, Jean. That's why I've never had a steady tag team partner. That's why I've never EVER stuck with one person for more than a few months. Jared Wells? (laughs) Look at how easily I manipulated him.. Manipulated him TWICE so that he would hand over his newly won World Championship title to me. Mindriot? (shakes head) Another person who was merely a tool to use so I could win the World Tag Team Title straps. So you're right, Jean. Its all about my benefit. Nothing more. Nothing less. You see Jean, I didn't need your guidance. Sure it took me longer than I anticipated, but I eventually became what I wanted to become. I eventually made it. But now I've set my sights even higher. I plan on doing more. (pauses) And this time I'll take your help. Because without you I wouldn't be able to continue my acceleration to the top of the wrestling world."

((Edmunds gives his ticket to the ticket collector who blindly rips the stub off and hands it back to Edmunds without glancing up. Edmunds stands there for a second looking at the kid with a blank gaze. Finally the kid looks up and apologizes before stepping aside and letting him through.))

EDMUNDS: "Jon Skieler is rest assured that he'll have my full cooperation during this match, Jean. I mean what I say.. and I always (winks) keep my word. You should know that, right? And while his silence is a little heartening, I'll make sure he's on the top of his game when he comes down to that ring in Fort Wayne. And I'll make sure that he is ready for some ass kicking, as you so gently referred to it as. And as for my track record, Jean.. well, (smirks) those were the good old days where men were men and women knew there place and stayed on the OUTSIDE of the ring. I'm ready for you and Troy at this upcoming house show. I've been waiting for this for a long time now. We all have got our own agenda's Jean. You hate me. Troy hates me. That's a good deal on your parts. Unfortunately, I've got an agenda as well. And as you personally know, Jean. I always make my agenda my first priority. So I'm sorry if my agenda somehow interferes once more with yours."

((Edmunds pauses before entering the movie.))

EDMUNDS: "You asked yourself, while telling your heartbreaking story, who would have the audacity to stab you in the back while you were tryign to help them, Jean. And you made it abundantly clear that it was myself. Now its time to correct the one thing that I wasn't able to do afterwards. While this tag team match isn't going to do it, Jean, its a step in the right direction. I've beaten you before in tag team matches, I can do it again. Why? Because I'm SIMPLY ... (pauses) SENSATIONAL."

((FADEOUT: As Edmunds walks into the theatre.))
