((Warzone begins inside the HWC studios...The lights come on and the camera focuses on Travis Best and a surprise guest....none other than Mr. Lashley!!))
Travis: Welcome all to a special edition of Warzone...I apoligize for the lateness, but a scheduling problem forced us to find another co-host for today...and boy what a co-host!!! Ladies and gents, the President of the HWC, Mr. Dan Lashley!!
Lashley: Thank you Travis, it's a pleasure to be here to co-host Warzone.
Travis: It's a pleasure to have you here boss. (looks at the camera) Due to Mr. Lashley's generosity, the boys have been given a week off to prepare for the upcoming Final Countdown PPV....from MY hometown of Nashville Tn!!
Lashley: (laughs) Well that's true, but it's also Thanksgiving, and even I have a hard time being an asshole during this time of year. (both men laugh) But seriously, I have a major lineup set for Final Countdown, but with one change.
Travis: What's that?
Lashley: Jaguar unfortunately had a promotional appearance for us the week of the PPV, so I had to put his match with Brett Bruiser on hold. But at the next Slaughter card, these two men WILL go at it in a triple decker cage match!!!
Travis: WOW!! That will be a good one!! Any other matches planned for Slaughter?
Lashley: Actually yes. A while back I was asked to set up a match between The current TV champion Tiger against Justice in a hardcore match, so that's another match that's been signed for the Slaughter after Final Countdown.
Travis: A barn burner if I ever saw one!!! But let's get down to buisness. Our man Chris Murphy caught up with the Office's own Steve Saxon backstage at one of our Warzone cards...let's see what happend!!
_________________________________________________________________________
[ It is during the middle of Warzone the cameras show Big Daddy Extreme walking around the back. He hears to wrestlers talking junk about Mr. Lashley. ]
BDE: Watch you mouths jack asses! Mr Lashley is the boss and if he hears he may not sign the paycheck!
[ The guys look at him with a who the hell is he look and walks on.]
BDE: You know I am sick and tired of walking around here and hearing how some of these idiots in the back disrespect Mr. Lashley. He is a genius in the business. Look around you see all this! It is curtiousy of Mr. Lashley!
[ Big Daddy Extreme walks on until turns into his locker room. ]
BDE: The HWC wouldn't be HWC with out Mr. Lashley! I want every jack ass in HWC to understand when you piss off Mr. Lashley you piss of Big Daddy Extreme! He signs the checks I kick the ass it is that simple!
[ The scene fades as Big Daddy Extreme heads toward the shower. ]
_________________________________________________________________________
Travis: Short and to the point...your guys are loyal to you aren't they?
Lashley: I like Saxon a lot...I see a lot of potential in him, plus he's the only man who can drink me under the table! (both men laugh)
Travis: I tell you that man drinks like a fish!!
Lashley: Indeed...but let's not forget, he's a former TV champion in the UWC and has beaten many a susperstar...including Kash Flagg.
Travis: Speaking of Kash, knowing how hurt he is, why did you sanction the match?
Lashley: I had no choice...Kash is a very determined man, and is worthy of a title shot...but I am worried about him.
Travis: Well, we have a promo from the man himself...so let's go to the tape!!
_________________________________________________________________________
(( The scene opens up in the new home of the man called Kash Flagg. The 27 year old is quietly sitting in his chair looking through old photos and programs of the UWC...thoughts run through his head as he looks at the photos. ))
Kash: (thinking)Ahhh the old days....(runs across photos from his first match and chuckles) So green, but I still beat the Billion Dollar Man...
(( Kash takes a sip of his drink and continues..))
Kash: I still think I won that match with Saxon, had Billion Dollar Man hadn't interfered...but I won Saxon's respect....(looks at a picture of him as a Highlord) I wonder what happend to Omega D?? Doesn't matter cause I carried his lame ass...even if I did suck.
(( Kash laughs a little at his thought and continues.))
Kash: The european title match....the match that jumpstarted my career. Although I lost that match...I showed the world that I wasn't a fool, with or without Lavey.
(( Kash's eyes lite up at a photo of the triple threat match for the euro title...))
Kash: That's what was missing...I have something to prove not only to Judge...but to HIM.
(( Kash picks up the phone and hits the speed dial..he gets an immediate answer.))
Kash: (speaking) Yeah...connect me with Lashley...this is Kash.
(( A moment of silence))
Kash: Lashley..Flagg here. I want to change the world title match...(silence from Kash) yes with HIM.
(( Kash continues on the phone as the scene fades.))
_________________________________________________________________________
Travis: HIM?? Who the hell is HIM??
Lashley: Well if you let me speak Travis I'll tell you. This coming Wednesday, at Final Countdown...a triple threat match for the HWC World title as Judge will defend against Kash Flagg and the man called Justice.
Travis: JUSTICE!!! Oh my god!!! What a main event!!
Lashley: I only put on the best shows Best, you should know that.
Travis: Of course.......any other matches you care to announce?
Lashley: Let's take a look at this promo and then I'll give you a couple more matches.
Travis: You tease...
_________________________________________________________________________
(Back in his locker room after Slaughter, both Scorpion, winner in an upset victory over Kidd Rock, and his son Lee, the unknowing cause of his father's victory.)
Scorpion: Kidd, I've seen the replay of our match, and believe me, I didn't want to win that way. I don't want you to feel guilty, or feel pain for me. I don't want to take a cheap pin because you saw my son crying because you were the better man at that point in the match, you had me beat Kidd, and I admit that. Now, Lee was in no way trying to hurt one of his heroes. He just wanted to get Tiger, one of his, and now one of my favorite competitors. Right, Lee?
Lee: Right Daddy.
Scorpion: And Lee, you didn't want to have Kidd lose, did you?
Lee: No Daddy, I really like Kidd, he's really good.
Scorpion: Good, I like him and respect him too. And Kidd, if I could book the matches for my son, you and I would never be enemies. If he were in charge of this company, you and I would be side by side with guys like my buddies in the EP and your friend Tiger, Judge and Kash, beating the likes of say, Revolution X, Drastic Measures, and the Office
Lee: Revolution X, PU!!!!!!
Scorpion: Exactly, Lee. But Kidd, before we can fight side by side, as I hope we may one day, we must combat each other. So, at Final Countdown, the IC title will be on the line between you and I, but I want some special stipulations. I want no interference, no distractions, as that little punk Chris Benoit would say, I want you in a "wrestling match". One on one. No EP, no Tiger, no Office, no Drastic Measures, no Lee. Lee, at the PPV, you're gonna have to stay in the back with Whirl, Jag, and Daddy J.
Lee: Okay, daddy, I'll stay back. But we can celebrate after, right?
Scorpion: You can bet your tiny little head on it buddy. And Kidd, win or lose, you and Tiger are invited for a celebration with me and my special little buddy, and I'm buying!! So Kidd, win or lose, we gonna give the live PPV audience one hell..oops, got my son here, can't swear, one great show, maybe then we can get past the fighting, and fulfill this kid's dream of our alliances side-by-side, combating the evil of the HWC. Come on Lee, let's go to Chili's.
(Scorpion is met by the EP at the front door of his locker room.)
Daddy J: Yo Lee, Whasssup!!!!
Lee: Whassuuuppppp!!!!!
Daddy J(Laughing): You rule Kidd.
Jaguar: So Scorp, where's the big winner buying us dinner?
Scorpion: Chili's
Whirlwind: Yes!!!! Baby Back Ribs!!! I want my baby back baby back baby
back, I want my...
(continues singing Chili's baby back rib song as Lee joins him. Scorpion, Jaguar, and Daddy J finally join in when they reach the EP limo, a new treat for Scorpion and his son, and the rest of the EP, who have been driving to most arenas in Yugos. The five tell the drivers to head for Chili's, and they recommence singing the Chili's song, with Jaguar hitting the low, "barbecue sauce" note. Daddy J puts Lee on his shoulders and opens the sunroof so Lee can stick his head through.)
Lee: I'm the King of the World!!!!!
(After saying that, the EP laughs, Lee reenters the limo and lays down
across his father and friends, and the camera returns to the Warzone Studio)
_________________________________________________________________________
Travis: (fakes puking) Geez, how sappy can you get?? (mocks Scorpion) I'm Scorpion, and I beleive in gumdrops and lolipops...let's all be happy shiny people!!
Lashley: (laughing) True, but the young man get's his wish...Kidd will defend his IC title against Scorpion.
Travis: The eternal jobber gets another shot ehh?? He didn't have kind words for the Office.
Lashley: Men who don't hold power resent ones who do, so I don't let it bother me...but I do admit that Scorpion has come a long way from getting his ass handed to him by the mean one Michael Streetz some months back.
Travis: That's true...but god don't let that kid come out...makes me sick having children so close to me.
Lashley: Not to worry....the child will be in the dressing room.
Travis: That's good. Sooooooo....any other matches??
Lashley: Of course. All titles will be on the line as The Tiger defends against Joey Starr and our Euro champ will be facing the former TV champ I2K.
Travis: and the Hardcore title??
Lashley: Of course....I am confident Smackdaddy will retain the title against his former partner Daddy J.
Travis: This is shaping up to be a great card!!! But here's our last promo...coming from the former enemy now Office member Ixon!!
_________________________________________________________________________
(Suddenly "Second Death" comes on over the sound system. The lights cut off and remain that way for a while until, without warning there is an explosion of light and sound. The lights are beck on in full effect and in the middle of the ring is Ixon wearing two belts around his waist. They're his Hardcore belts.)
Ixon: IIIIII'm baaaaack.
I haven't really been in action too much as of late but, I've been pumping up and I'm in better shape then I ever have been. Well, I understand that most of you don't know what these are or where they came from.
(He motions toward the belts around his waist.)
Let explain to you what these belts mean. It's simple really. They mean that I am the undisputed King of Hardcore. I won this one (points to one of the belts). After defeating two men in a handicap match, more or less. Directly after that I won this one (points to the other one) after beating some fool in a unification match. I think that defiantly constitutes me as being the King of Hardcore. That and the fact that when I go down the street I hear people saying "Oh, there's Mr. Hardcore." Now, I just want to know if there is anyone out there that has the balls to try and uncrown me.
I didn't come down here to make myself look better though. Because, everyone knows I'm the best looking wrestler in the HWC. I came down here to talk about these sorry champions we have in HWC. With the exception of my stablemate Smackdaddy, they're all a bunch of losers. Look at them all. You've got Fudge and Kash Fag as the tag champs. Honestly. There isn't an once of talent in either one of them. Both of them look like something the wolf dragged in. They wrestle like two school girls. It's embarrassing to have these two represent me and on top of it that flamer Fudge has the World title. Oh, (With a heavy lisp.) "The Ligth of judgthmenth ith upon you prepare to be burnthed. You big sthrong ssthrapping man you." This guy is the biggest cake boy I've ever seen. Everyone knows what he's burning. After all everyone knows that friction is the worst kind of burn you can have, isn't it Fudge?
Now on to Bullshit. This guy is so horrible that I'm not going to waste my energy out here on him. Hmmm, who else is there. Ah yes, Kidd Cock. The name explains a lot. Boy, you'll never be a man because, you're just a Kid, plain and simple.
I know I'm forgetting someone. Oh, yeah. Tiger, hahahahahahaha. I keep forgetting about her because she's so insignificant. One, she's a woman and two, she looks like someone hit her in the face with a sack of nails. Wait, actually, I think getting hit in the face with a sack of nails would be an improvement for her. Well, my time is almost up so, one last thing. Resolution SuX, watch your backs
I'm out.
( The lights go out..and when they come back on...he is gone.)
_________________________________________________________________________
Travis: Harsh words by Ixon.
Lashley: Like him or hate him...he always is blunt. (both men laugh)
Travis: Now you two were enemies for a while...why bring him back in??
Lashley: The young man didn't know what he was getting into messing with us, but Ixon is a smart man and he knew when to come back to the fold. I have no doubt that this man will become a champion very soon. Plus him and Smackdaddy seem to gel good as a team.
Travis: So those two will be a tag team??
Lashley: Well, everyone knows Smack is a tag team specialist, and I am confident that these two men will bring the gold back to us.
Travis: Well it looks like the end of our show...I want to thank Mr. Lashley for showing up and doing a great job.
Lashley: Thank you Travis...and I want to wish you and everyone a happy Thanksgiving!!
Travis: Be here next week for the PPV spectacular Final Countdown!!! Till then, it's been YOUR pleasure!!
(( The two men talk as the camera cues the Warzone music and the show ends.))
