(( The show opens up outside of the HWC Offices building in downtown Los Angeles...Travis Best is standing outside with Chris Murphy and a ton of other reporters..))
Travis: Welcome to another edition of Warzone!!! My co-host was suppose to be I2K, but due to the special announcement we will be getting from our esteem president concerning the world title, I am standing out her in the damn heat with *ugh* Chris Murphy.
Chris: Yeah, it's always a pleasure to work with you Travis *mutters Yeah Right* Today is the day that Mr. Lashley determines which wrestlers will take part in the tournament to crown a new HWC World Champion!!
Travis: We have a loaded show, so let's get to the first match between Hurricane and Johnny Rave!!
_________________________________________________________________________
Both men received little responce from the crowd, but once Rave took the mic, he worked over the crowd, calling them "rubes" and not worthy of seeing an awesome specimen such as him, which got good heat. Hurricane received a pop when he got tired of Rave's talking and clotheslined him!! Hurricane used a lot of power moves to take the arrogant one off his feet, hitting a beautiful powerslam to lead Rave out of the ring to collect himself. Hurricane tried to leave the ring, but the ref wouldn't let him....suddenly Cypress Lavey comes out of the crowd and floors Hurricane with a singapore cane, and quickly leaves the ring. Rave takes advantage of this by locking in a sharpshooter. The ref, not knowing what happend, sees Hurricane unconscious and awards the match to Johnny Rave. Lavey makes his way back in the ring and hands Rave a shirt that says "The Highlords" on it and leaves, and Rave just looks at the shirt confused.
_________________________________________________________________________
Travis: Well that was a waste of my time....geez.
Chris: For you maybe, but it's great to see new talent here in the HWC, and what's up with Lavey helping out Johnny Rave?
Travis: Maybe he's an obsessed fan and wants to be his friend...hell i don't know nor do I care!!
Chris: Maybe we will find out this Saturday at Slaughter...in the meantime, here is a promo from our current TV champ The Tiger.
Travis: Oh joy, let me get my pillow so I can watch this like the rest of the people at home will.
________________________________________________________________________
Some where Texas 10 miles for the Mexico boarder,
Dusk has come and the night is still warm, the sound
of a bikes mortor can be heard in the distances
growing closer on a 2 lane highway. As it grows closer
it starts to slow till it comes to a stop pulling off
the side of the road. The Tiger climbs off her bike
and sets her foot on the dirt ground that streches for
miles. The Tiger amidly starts to look and collect
small twigs and what not to burn in a fire.
It isn't too long before a fire starts to burn
brightly. The Tiger opens a small can of stew and
cooks it in a campers like pan. Ther Tiger stays close
to the fire keeping warm and listens to the night as
she eats. Staring off into the darkness The Tiger sees
many little cridders scrurry about the ground a few
feet from her. Finishing her food she turns back to
the fire. Taking her large cantine she pours some of
the water into the pan to rinse whats left out. Then
taking the cantine The Tiger drinks from it while she
grabs a long think stick and pokes the fire to keep it
going. Sitting quietly she reflects on how her life
is. Thinks of how it would be nice to have a place of
her own a place called home a warm bed and a roof over
her head. But only smiles, cause for now she is
content will how her life is.
She loves the open road and the feeling for being free. For The Tiger her life is the ultamite training for what ever life has to
offer. She believes if she can sirvive on her wits
then she can over come anything put before her.
Her mind flashes to her indana friends then to Kidd
and how he has filled that empty place in her heart.
Yawning slightly The Tiger gets up and puts the pan
back in the sadle bag and grabs the sleeping bag she
has tied to her bike. Laying it near the fire the
camera fades as The Tiger lays down to sleep on the
ground of Texas.
_________________________________________________________________________
Chris: We are back folks and the Tiger seems to be preparing for a true test this Saturday when she faces Justice in a hardcore match!
Travis: (against the wall withg a pillow in his hands) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Chris: TRAVIS!!! Wake up!!
Travis: Huh??? waa...?? Oh I'm sorry Chris, Tiger seems to have that effect on me.
Chris: You wouldn't say that if she was here now.
Travis: Nope, I'd tell her to get her cute ass in the kitchen and make me dinner like a good woman should!!
Chris: Keep talking like that and the only thing that will be cooking is you.
Travis: You wish, let's just get to the next match, as The Hitman takes on Pulse...yay.
_________________________________________________________________________
The match quickly got underway as both men exchanged punches. Hitman attempts a throw to the ropes but gets reversed and Pulse hits with hiptoss...sending Hitman out of the ring. Pulse follows and the action starts out there. Pulse gets thrown into the steps by Hitman and Raven runs down to help attack Pulse, as Joey Starr distracts the ref. Suddenly Klaus Van Hammer comes out and spears Starr off the apron!!!! Raven and Klaus fight as the ref is counting......Pulse backdrops Hitman into the audience and they are still fighting. The ref counts to 10 and both men have been counted out!!! They don't seem to care as they are battling in the crowd...when out from nowhere Lavey comes out with a chair!! Hitman holds Pulse so Lavey can hit him...but Pulse moves and Lavey whallops Hitman!! What looked like an accident quickly turns into a setup as Lavey continues to batter the Hitman...Starr and Raven run the two men off but Hitman is busted wide open. The EMT's help take the Hitman out of the arena as Lavey has seemingly turned on RX!!

(( Travis and Chris is in the Lobby of HWC Headquarters as Travis is talking to a comely newsreporter...))
Travis: (to reporter) ...so I went up to Danny, I always call him that, and told him " HEY, I deserve my own show and I ain't leaving till your bitchass gives me one!!" and wha-la I got Warzone...
Chris: (to the camera) While Travis is lying out his ass to GET some ass, let's check in with a man we saw in that last match, Klaus Van Hammer.
(( A loud slap is heard and the woman storms off...Travis' face has a blood red handprint on it...))

>>>FADE IN<<<
>>>EXT-HWC OFFICES-DAY<<<
>>>SCENE OPENS ON A LONG VIEW OF THE OFFICES OF THE HWC, ON A
BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY. THE CAMERA PANS RIGHT, TO THE ENTRANCE OF
THE PARKING LOT. A LIMOSINE PULLS IN AND GLIDES TO A STOP
BY THE SIDEWALK LEADING TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE. THE DRIVER
HURRIES AROUND TO THE READ PASSENGER DOOR AND OPENS IT.
KLAUS VON HAMMER STEPS OUT, HIS PAIR PULLED BACK IN A PONY TAIL,
WEARING A PAIR OF SLENDER FRAMED SHADES, AND WEARING A DARK,
WELL-TAILORED SUIT. HE SMOOTHES OUT THE FRONT OF HIS SUIT JACKET
AND WALKS TO THE ENTRANCE. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS THROUGH THE DOOR
AND THROUGH THE HALLWAYS, TO THE MAIN ELEVATOR. KLAUS PUSHES THE
BUTTON, AND AFTER ONLY A SHORT WAIT THE DOORS OPEN AND HE
STEPS ONBOARD.<<<
>>>CUT TO<<<
>>>INT-HWC OFFICES-DAY<<<
>>>KLAUS IS SEEN JUST STEPPING OFF THE ELEVATOR. HE TURNS THE CORNER
AND WALKS TO PRESIDENT LASHLEY'S OFFICE. HE APPROACHES THE PRESIDENT'S
PERSONAL SECRETARY.<<<
SECRETARY: May I help you, Mr Von Hammer?
KLAUS: Yes, I have an appoint with Herr Lashley. Would you please
tell him I am here?
SECRETARY: I'll tell him, but he's in a teleconference right now,
and isn't to be disturbed for a few minutes. If you will wait in the
lobby, I'll let youknow when he's ready to see you.
KLAUS: >>>HIS FACE DARKENS SLIGHTLY, BUT HE MAKES NO OTHER REACTION<<<
Very well, I willl wait.
>>>KLAUS TURNS AND WALKS TO THE LOBBY, STARTS TO SIT, THEN LOOKS AT THE
CAMERA. HE SEEMS TO PONDERSOMETHING FOR A MOMENT, THEN MOTIONS FOR THE CAMERA TO FOLLOW HIM, AND WALKS OUT INTO THE HALLWAY. ONCE OUT, HE
LEANS AGAINST THE WALL WITH HIS ARMS FOLDED, A THOUGHTFUL LOOK
ON HIS FACE. AFTER A MOMENT, HE BEGINS TO SPEAK.<<<
KLAUS: I know there are many, not the least of which is Cypress LaVey,
that are curious to know why I decided to join with The Office.
The answer is simple, yet profound. Herr Lavey, you decided, for
reasons that you hace chosen not to disclose, to join with that
rabble commonly known as the Revolution X. You did not bother to
consult with me on this matter, but chose instead to proceed without
me.
>>>RAISES UP FROM THE WALL, HIS FACE ANGRY<<<
You betrayedmy trust, Lavey! You threw away all that we had built! All thosetimes you spoke to me of loyalty....referring to me as your protege...you threw all that away when you joined that group of second rate,mediocre talent little boys with visions of supremacy dancing in their heads. Those men, and I use that term lightly, will be the ruination of your career, Lavey...and I will be the ruination of your well-being!And The Office has the means to make that come to pass. Not to mentionthe fact that President Lashley has done wonders for the quality oflife for all members of The Office, as you have seen.
>>>LOOKS AT HIS WATCH<<<
It is nearly time for my meeting now...Remember, Lavey, what I have said here, and think about the future consequences of what you have done. I have no need to worry about consequences now, for my new benefactor has much more power than you can imagine, Lavey! I seriously
advise younot to test him, because he will ruin you. As will I!!!
>>>KLAUS GLARES AT THE CAMERA A MOMENT, THEN TURNS AND WALKS BACK INTO THE LOBBY<<<
>>>FADE OUT<<<
_________________________________________________________________________
(( We see Travis and Chris finding their seats in the conference room...Travis' face still has a slight handprint on it...))
Chris: Man she slapped you really hard...
Travis: SHUT UP!! She just didn't understand me.
Chris: What the hell did you say to her??
Travis : I just complimented her on her clothes.
Chris: That doesn't sound bad....
Travis: And how they would look on the floor in my bedroom.
Chris: (looking at Travis) You're lucky she didn't kick you in the nuts for that.
Travis: SHUT UP!!
Chris: Anyways, let's get to our next match as the Euro champ Bulldozer takes on the Office's Steve Saxon.
_________________________________________________________________________
The match started as Bulldozer is in the ring looking arena
the arena for Saxon. After a few minutes of waiting Bulldozer heads towards the ropes to leave and it attacked by
Saxon who was under the ring. The two brawl outside the
ring until Bulldozer gets the upper hand and tosses Saxon into the ring. Bulldozer then gets onto the top rope jumping
off connecting with a elbow into the side of Saxon that
makes the man grab himself in pain. As Dozer gets up Saxon stumbles to his feet and kicks Bulldozer in the get then ddting him, this sends Dozer over the top rope onto the floor. Saxon then propels himself
off the ropes and over the top rope onto Dozers body with a frog splash. Calling for the end Saxon gets into the ring pulling Dozer with him only to be meet with a furry of punches. Dozer then throws Saxon into the ropes and connects with the Demolition for the 1....2....3!!!! Bulldozer gets to his feet throwing his hands in the air in victory as the fans roar with approval.

INT. DARK, DARK ROOM
The room is almost pitch black. As we move in, the
outline of a figure can be seen rocking in a large
chair. There is complete silence in the room until the
lights go on and the figure shrieks with fear and
hisses at the camera. The hunched over man flees his
chair for the safety of a corner where he crouches and
shivers. As the camera moves in we see that the man is
none other than Bruno Von Gotch Senior.He is wearing a
hospital robe and tissue boxes on his feet. His hair is
now three times as long as we have ever seen before and
turned completely white. His fingernails are each three
inches long. As we gaze at him the sudden realization
that he has gone completely insane starts to sink in.
Just as it appears that the cameraman has taken
sympathy on him and begins to back off, his son appears
and helps him back to his chair. As he sits down, Bruno
Senior takes a superior position in his chair.
BRUNO JR
Thank you for coming here today...
BRUNO SR
To my lair.
BRUNO JR
To my father's basement. As promised,
I have a major announcement regarding
my career tonight. Due to the recent
health issues affecting our family, I
am no longer making enough money in my
current role as resident jobber in the
HWC to provide for my family. I have
asked the officials of the HWC to
include me in the upcoming world title
tournament and I have recently been
informed that my request has been
granted. I truly appreciate the
opportunity being afforded to me right
now and know that I have not earned a
spot with the elite wrestlers who I
will have to compete against. Jaguar,
Michael Streetz, Kidd Rock, Judge,
justice and the like have all proven
themselves in the ring whereas I have
yet to actually win a singles match.
Bruno Senior looks around nervously.
BRUNO SR
I've seen things Junior... Horrible
things.
BRUNO JR
Yes dad I know you have.
BRUNO SR
My father showed me how to put on a
condom by demonstrating on himself.
Bruno Junior bats his eyes considering how he should
respond to this recent discovery. He instead returns to
the original conversation.
BRUNO JR
After much deliberation, I have
decided that if I am unable to capture
the title in this tournament, I will
only have one hope left. I will have
to pursue other options that may
result in a more secure financial
situation for my family and I.
BRUNO SR
I'm a convicted sex offender.
Bruno Junior is now visibly annoyed but he proceeds
nonetheless.
BRUNO JR
There is a horrible secret that I have
never let be known about myself... I
Dramatic pause.
BRUNO JR (CONT.)
Am a college dropout.
BRUNO SR
When I was a small boy, every time I
went to the dentists office he would
put me under sedation and when I woke
up I was turned around in the chair
with my pants unbuttoned and a half
empty glass of cranberry juice on the
counter.
Bruno Junior now speaks up to try to cover up his
insane father's rants.
BRUNO JR
YES THAT'S RIGHT. I, Bruno Von Gotch
Junior, never graduated from college.
I feel that at this stage in my life,
if I am unable to find success in the
wrestling world, I should return to
college for my final semester and earn
the degree that my father so wanted me
to have. If I am unable to win the
world championship...
BRUNO SR
Is it really that wrong to be
attracted to your own mother?
BRUNO JR
IF I AM UNABLE TO WIN THE WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP, I will make one more
challenge. If I am unsuccessful then,
I will return to college. However, I
am confident that I will emerge
victorious. As for my opponents...
BRUNO SR
As for your opponents my son... my
robotic ants will take care of them.
Bruno Junior snaps.
BRUNO JR
Sonofabitch!!! Robotic Ants dad? This
is ridiculous.
Bruno starts to storm out of the room. A man behind the
camera calls out to him to try to get him to return.
MAN
Bruno please. You're doing fine.
BRUNO JR
I've had it. I'm out.
Bruno exits the room and slams a door behind him. The
only people remaining are the crew and Bruno Senior.
There is an awkward pause where nobody really knows
what to do or say until finally, Mr. Gotch looks into
the camera and speaks.
BRUNO SR
As for you cameraman... my robotic
ants will....
The crew mercifully interupts the interview.
BLACK SCREEN
_________________________________________________________________________
Chris: We are back and not only did you see Bulldozer in another awesome win, but a promo from Bruno Von Gotch Jr. and now we know one of the participants in the World Title Tourny!!
Travis: Yeah, like Otis the town drunk there can win a damn match anyways.
Chris: How did you ever get a job here?
Travis: Skill my boy.....and a few thousand dollars from my rich daddy.
Chris: It figures.... Well the conference is set to start soon, so let's get to our main event as Storm takes on Daddy J!!
Travis: (looking around) Did you see where the snackbar is??
(( Murphy puts his head in his hands...))
_________________________________________________________________________
Storm ran straight to the ring and the two men start going at it...Daddy J gets Storm in the corner and pounds him into the turnbuckle...Daddy throws him into the opposite turnbuckle and gets hit with a big boot from Storm. Storm takes control of the match by working on the leg of Daddy J...at one point having Brett Bruiser distract the ref as Storm does a legdrop on a chair that was hooked on Daddy's leg... Storm then threw Daddy out of the ring, and the members of the Destruction Inc and RX attack Daddy J before members of the Elite Playerz make the save.Daddy mounted a small comeback as he hit a ddt out from nowhere on Storm and made the pin attempt...but Storm kicked out at two. Brett tried to interfere again but Scorpion whalloped Brett with the IC title and that got Destruction Inc. and the Elite Playerz fighting outside the ring.. Daddy J goes for the Capbuster, but buckles from the bad leg and Storm falls on top of him...Gravdigger grabs Daddy's leg as the ref makes the three count, not seeing Gravedigger there, and Storm is your winner as Digger and Storm continue the attack untill Whirlwind, Scorpion and Jaguar made the save. The Elite Playerz tend to there fallen friend as Destruction Inc. laugh at the chaos they have caused.
_________________________________________________________________________
Chris: What a match!! Storm pulled off an underhanded victory for Brett Bruiser and company.
Travis: Nah. Digger just slipped and Daddy J's leg just happen to be there...he told me that earlier.
Chris: Like I'd beleive that load of....(the crowd starting making noises) Mr. Lashley seems to be coming to the podium now!!
(( Camera cuts to Mr. Lashley, accompanied by Kash Flagg takes to the podium.))
Lashley: I'd like to thank the press for being here today. Today I have a huge announcement about the upcoming World Title Tournament, but first any questions?
Reporter: What exactly will happen to the tag titles?
Kash: I will hand it back to the Judge and he will find another partner...I wish him nothing but the best.
Lashley: If Judge chooses not to have another partner, then whoever wins between Brett Bruiser/Storm and Desert Storm wil become the new champions, otherwise Judge and his new partner will defend again one of those two teams.
Reporter: Will this be the last we see of you in the HWC Kash?
Kash: No, you aren't getting rid of me that easily!!(crowd laughs) I plan on doing some interfed promotional work with the HWC and work on my commentating a little bit, so watch out Travis! (laughs)
Lashley: That's enough questions folks...now to give you the matchups for the World Title Tournament!!
(( Lashley uncovers a board with all the competitors names on it.))
Lashley: There will be three brackets, the winners from these three brackets will face off in a triple threat elimination match..which means that TWO men will be eleminated to determine a new champion. Our first bracket has Jaguar vs Bruno Von Gotch Jr. and Scorpion Vs Bulldozer. The next bracket will have Judge Vs I2K and Michael Streetz Vs The Tiger...and our final bracket will have Justice Vs Smackdaddy and Kidd Rock Vs Brett Bruiser. If one of these wrestlers can't compete...then Hellraizer is our alternate. Thank you all, no more questions, and goodnight.
(( Lashley and Kash leaves the room as the crowd is buzzing.))
Travis: WOW!!! What a lineup!! And you heard it on MY show first!!! For Chris Murphy, I'm Travis Best saying I rule!!!
(( Travis and Chris are talking and the show ends.))
