[Scene: We open up inside of Chris Cortez's VIP Room, where we find Syd sitting on a comfy couch watching TV. On the TV is Chris Cortez's match from last week, against Morglum Neckbreaker. Syd keeps on watching it, over and over, well, not the entire match actually, more or less the end of the match. More specific, the end of the match where Killjoy runs in and tries to attack Chris Cortez. However, he is met by Chris Cortez's patented Superkick, The Mic Check, straight to the chin! Killjoy goes down as Chris Cortez picks up his World Heavyweight Title and stands over him, proudly wearing it. Syd continues to rewind and rewatch]

Syd: Man, I tell you, no matter how many times I see that, Its still awesome!

[From the bathroom, we here another voice, the voice that belongs to none other than Chris Cortez, the "One Man Boyband"]

Chris Cortez: You think that's great? Wait until you see what Ive got in store for him come TRTN! That will be the icing on the cake! After Im done with him, Ill prove that he is nothing but a pathetic old man who is way past his prime! That he is nothing but a joke, and that he doesn't deserve to be the World Heavyweight Champion in LSW. No...I DO!

[Chris Cortez walks out of the bathroom as both the Syd and the camera turn to see him. He comes out wearing a very flashy disco suit as he twirls around with a little dance step. He takes out a pair of shades as he puts them and then pats the World Heavyweight Title...which is on his shoulder]

Chris Cortez: Future's so bright, I got to wear shades!

Syd: Hey! You haven't given Killjoy's title back to him yet?

Chris Cortez: No, of course not. Killjoy doesn't deserve this belt, he doesn't deserve it one bit. I deserve it. I deserve to have it in my hands right now, on my shoulder, where it deserves to rest. I refuse to give it back to Killjoy, if he wants this belt so bad, he'll have to come and get it from me personally. Aint no one, especially him, going to take this belt from me, NO ONE.

Syd: Geeze, Your acting like you've won it already.

Chris Cortez: Oh, but I have. I have. As far as Im concerned, TRTN is a shoe in, no doubts about it.

Syd: Well, sure, but-

[Suddenly, there is a knock on the door]

Syd: I wonder who that could be?

[Syd walks over and opens the door. In the doorway stands Malicea McDeath who smiles at both of them.]

Syd: Why, Mrs.McDeath, what do we owe the pleasure of your visit to us today? Me and my client about on our way for a night on the town, ah, would you care to join us a few other ladies we're meeting later tonight?

Malicea: No, no thank you. I actually came for the World Heavyweight Title. We're having a management meeting in a couple of minutes across town and we need to give the belt back to Killjoy. He's going to be doing an in-ring promo at the house show that's going on right now. So, we need it for when he goes out and all, you know for the effect and all, so, Ill need it back.

[Chris Cortez just looks at her, then at the belt and then back to her.]

Chris Cortez: Well...ah...couldent I maybe...just...you know...hold on to it for a couple more minutes?

Malicea: Im afraid not.

[Chris Cortez sighs]

Chris Cortez: Fine.

[Chris Cortez takes it off and looks at it one more moment and then kisses it as he hands it over to Malicea.]

Chris Cortez: Besides, Ill be seeing it again on Tuesday anywas.

Malicea: Of course you will.

Chris Cortez: I know I will. There is no doubt in my mind, the fans minds and even Killjoy's mind that I will beat him on TRTN. I mean, why else do you think he's training harder than ever for this one match? Easy. He knows very well that I am going to beat him, and that his run has come to an end. I saw his recent promo while he was working at the gym infact.

[Chris Cortez laughs a little]

Chris Cortez: I mean, c'mon. He even said himself, he would rather have faced Morglum. Now it isn't because it would have been a new challenge like he said, but because it would have been an easier challenge. Killjoy knows he cant take me on come TRTN and walk out still the champion. He knows the end is near, he knows what is coming and he's trying to stop it. He's trying to train and he's trying to do all this, just to stand a chance against me. Well, news flash for him, no matter what he does, I will always be 3 steps ahead of him!

Malicea: Isn't that what he usually says? Your starting to sound like him a bit.

Chris Cortez: WHAT?! That's preposterous! Aint no way that Ill ever be like Killjoy in any way! I mean, Im just saying, he said that he would always be 3 steps ahead of me. Im just saying that he's gotten so old, he's been falling behind and now Im 3 steps ahead of HIM. Im not acting like him, or becoming him, no, of course not. Its not like I go around changing my rivals from referees to ring announcers and time keepers like he does!

[Malicea looks at Chris Cortez with a questioning glance]

Malicea: Oh?

Chris Cortez: Of course not! I didn't ask for that, I didn't demand that from you or anyone else who is apart of the management team. It just happened. Why? Im guessing someone just felt it wasn't needed or wasn't necessary or that it would interfere with the main event, right?

[Malicea just smiles at him, a weird smile]

Malicea: Yeah...something like that.

Chris Cortez: Right, as I thought. Now, about what Killjoy said about their being a new champion in December. What's that really mean? Is he using his management powers to keep it till then? I mean, I done want to get cheated out of yet another match against him! I done deserve it! I-

Malicea: Well, gee, look at the time, got that meeting to get to, ah, we'll talk later.

[Malicea turns around and walks down the hall and out the side door to the parking lot]

Chris Cortez: But, hey, wait! Im not going to get cheated out of this match, am I? I better not! That damn Killjoy better not-...C'mon, Syd, we're following her.

Syd: What?

Chris Cortez: Im going to find out what this meeting is all about, I smell something foul, c'mon.

[Chris Cortez heads out the door as Syd follows him down the hall and out the side door into the parking lot.]

Syd: This is crazy! What are we doing this for!

[Chris Cortez opens his rent-a-car and gets in as Syd follows him, they wait as then Malicea's limo leaves the parking lot and heads down the street. Chris Cortez turns on the car and does the same, following behind it. After a few minutes, the limo comes to the LSW Offices as Malicea steps out with Golaith and Curse in tow. They enter the building as Chris Cortez parks in the visitor's section of the parking lot.]

Chris Cortez: C'mon.

Syd: Man, I hope we dont get in trouble.

[Chris and Syd enter the building as they look around for signs of Malicea, but she is nowhere to be found. They walk down the halls, being careful as they looks around for people. They go to turn a corner but Malicea is there as they stop and slightylook around the corner. As they watch, Malicea McDeath heads to a door and then looks to her right as she extend her arm for someone to let them go ahead of her.

Killjoy and Angel appear from a hallway in front of the door as they head inside. Malicea then follows as she walks into the room and closes the door. Chris Cortez angrily runs down the hallway when all of a sudden Curse and Goliath come out of the room and in front of the door. Chris Cortez stops in front of them as Syd finally catches up with him]

Syd: Chris, calm down!

Chris Cortez: What the hell is going on in that room?!

Goliath: Noting that concerns you.

Chris Cortez: Nothing that concerns me?! Listen here you overgrown moron, I think that everything that goes on in there concerns me! Especially when you've got my rival, my opponent on Tuesday in a room with my girlfriend and the boss in a small room together! ID SAY ITS MY CONCERN!

Syd: Calm down, Chris!

Chris Cortez: Im not going to calm down, let me in there, what are they talking about?! I want to no, neh, demand to know!

Curse: It doesn't concern you as they arrant the only ones in there.

Chris Cortez: Who the hell else is in there?

Curse: LSW Management.

Chris Cortez: Ahhhhh, I knew it! It figures!

Syd: What?

Chris Cortez: Dont you see?! Killjoy, the champ, the egomaniac, power hungry "legend" is in a meeting with management! He's probably in there demanding they help him keep his title and what not. Begging, pleading, for them to help him. AAARRRGG, Bastard! I thought no superstar was supposed to be allowed in management meetings!

Syd: Well, HHH of the WWE is let into theres.

Chris Cortez: He's f*cking the bosses daughter, what do you expect? This isn't the same thing, Killjoy has no right in there! Just because he's this money making champion for the LSW, it doesn't give him the right to be in a meeting with management! Who knows that they are plotting, planning, and-ARRRGG! LET ME IN!

[Chris Cortez tries to get in but Curse and Goliath hold him back and then push him to the ground. Chris Cortez angrily looks up at them as Syd helps Chris Cortez up.]

Goliath: Move along. We've been instructed not to let you anywhere near Killjoy until TRTN.

Curse: Yeah, so beat it.

Chris Cortez: What?! Ah, more pieces to the puzzle! He doesn't want me near him because he fears If I get to him, Ill rip him to shreds before the match, yeah! I bet that's it, yeah!

Goliath: Yeah, sure, ok, just move along.

Chris Cortez: Fine. Im going. Im going. C'mon Syd.

[Chris Cortez walks away as Syd follows him and as they turn the corner they bump, hard, into Abbey Riley and her loyal camera man who drops the camera as it shatters into pieces]

Abbey Riley: Cameron! YOU IDIOT! Do you know how much those things cost?!

Cameron the Cameraman: Sorry, Sorry! Dont have me fired Ms.Riley, Im really sorry!

[Cameron the Cameraman gets down and starts picking up all the pieces]

Abbey Riley: Your lucky im in a good mood today, or I would have your ass fired on the spot!

[During all of this, Chris Cortez looks at Syd as he makes a whip movement with his arm and makes the sound of a whip. Syd chuckles a little as Abbey Riley then looks up at them.]

Abbey Riley: And YOU TWO! Of all the people who we'd bump into today that would cause this to happen, it would be YOU TWO!

Chris Cortez: We're ever so sorry, Abbey, and If I could make it up to you, how would you like to join me on a date tonight?

Abbey Riley: I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last man on earth.

Chris Cortez: But I am the last man on the earth, the last GOOD man on earth.

[Cameron the Cameraman laughs a bit as he picks up the pieces but Abbey Riley looks less than impressed as she kicks him in the side]

Abbey Riley: Whatever. The fact of the matter is that as much as I hate seeing your guts, I was asked to get your thoughts on recent events. Why Troy couldn't do it is beyond me. I doubt for a second he's really taking a personal day off. I mean, that guy is so full of bullshit, like, this one time we we're in the break room, right? We we're talking about-

Chris Cortez: Look, as interested as I am to hear all about your story, could we get on with this interview? I've got places to go and people to see.

Abbey Riley: Well, as much as I would love to do that, believe me, Im afraid there is still the matter of the broken camera. While we go and find one, you wait here, we'll be right back. C'mon Cameron! Let's Move It!

[Cameron the Cameraman picks up the shattered pieces and follows her]

Cameron the Cameraman: Yes, ma'am

[Chris Cortez and Syd watches them leave as Chris Cortez then looks around for if anybody is coming.]

Chris Cortez: Ok, give me a boost.

Syd: A what?

Chris Cortez: 10 Fingers. C'mon.

Syd: Why?

Chris Cortez: This ventilation duck above us, I bet It leads into the room Killjoy and the management team currently is in. If I can get into there and find out what they are up to, Ill know the inside scoop. So, c'mon, help me out here.

Syd: Just dont go getting caught.

Chris Cortez: Done worry, I can handle it.

Syd: Yeah, that's what Im afraid of.

[Syd gets down and puts down his hands as Chris Cortez steps on em with one foot. Syd pushes him up as Chris Cortez grabs hold of the vent and unlocks the latch. It falls down as Chris Cortez falls down as well as Syd couldn't hold him anymore. Chris Cortez gets the same push up from Syd, Sending him back up and into the vent this time. Once up there, Chris Cortez closes the vent and looks down at Syd.]

Chris Cortez: Stay there, Ill be back.

[Syd gives the thumbs up as Chris Cortez heads down the vent, meanwhile, a LSW Employee walks by seeing Syd giving thumbs up to the ceiling. The LSW Employee stops and looks at him as Syd then turns and looks at him.]

Syd: Ah, just, ah, practicing my ah...Sabu impression...

LSW Employee: That's a pathetic Sabu Impression! Let me show you how its done!

[Scene: Inside the ventilation shaft, Chris Cortez crawls around on hands and knees as he looks down at gratings to find the right room. He looks down into one to see if its the right room. Inside he finds Abbey Riley and Cameron the Cameraman in the AV Room. They are both half naked as Abbey Riley stands above Cameron the Cameraman with a whip in her hand.]

Abbey Riley: Who's the bad boy?

Cameron the Cameraman: Im the bad boy!

Abbey Riley: I SAID, WHO'S THE BAD BOY!

Cameron the Cameraman: IM THE BAD BOY MOMMY!

Abbey Riley: You broke Mommy's Camera, Mommy is going to have to punish you.

Cameron the Cameraman: Ohhh, Punish me Mommy, punish me!

[Chris Cortez looks down at them, half disgusted, half with a "what the fuck" look on his face.]

Chris Cortez: Jeesh, when I said he was whipped, I didn't mean it like that. Weirdos.

[Chris Cortez moves on as he finds another grating, he looks down at it to see Richard and Ernie Styles in the break room.]

Richard: I...I have a confession to make...

Ernie Styles: Oh?

Richard: Yeah...Ive never told anyone this...

Ernie Styles: Yes?

Richard: Your...well...the only one I can trust and...

Ernie Styles: Go on.

Richard: I...I...I'm addicted to...to...

Ernie Styles: What? Addicted to what?

Richard: HELIUM! Especially the ones in the balloons. Being a ring announcer and all, I should be happy with my voice. Im not, Im not! I hate my voice, but I love the voice I have when I suck in the helium from a balloon! I do it so much, Im addicted and, and, and I feel so ashamed! Please don't tell anyone!

[Richard runs out of the room crying]

Ernie: Man, I got to tell someone bout this!

[Ernie heads out the door as Chris Cortez continues on down the ventilation shaft and looks down into another grating. This time, its the right room. He looks down to see Killjoy and Angel sitting round a table with management and Malicea McDeath.]

Malicea McDeath: "As usual Angel, your godly attitude helps us out in the best way. But enough talk about money, lets talk about this week's drawing. What do we need to plug the shit out of?"

Management Guy 4: "The Cortez / Killjoy match. Even though its got the two hottest people in it, I think we could make this look like something resembling a PPV battle."

Malicea McDeath:"Ok, then call Cortez and tell him to get on the interview circuit ASAP. Killjoy, get out there and cut a good promo right now before the house show ends. I'll call the guys at the show and tell them to get ready for you. Angel, I want you to stay here. We need to talk about a direction change for you."

Killjoy: "Ok, I see where this is going. You want Angel to betray me for Cortez or something like that. Right?"

[Chris Cortez smiles and looks a bit intrigued by this.]

Malicea McDeath:"Are you still here? Get going......now!! Oh! You'll need to take this with you. It was really hard to get Cortez to part with it."

[Malicea picks up the LSW World Heavyweight championship belt and slides it down the table in Killjoy's direction. Chris Cortez looks at it for a moment in amazement as then Killjoy picks up the belt and heads out the door. Malicea and management continue to talk as Chris Cortez heads back around to see if he can catch up with Killjoy before he heads out to deliver his promo at the house show.]

[Scene: We're back with Syd and the LSW Employee, who is showing Syd the proper way to do Sabu's infamous point to the sky taunt.]

LSW Employee: Now, you arch your back like this and slightly look up at the sky. At the same time, point your finger up, but not all the way extending your arm and-

[Suddenly, as the LSW Employee points up at the ceiling, Chris Cortez comes crashing down from the ventilation shaft. He falls on the LSW Employee knocking him out cold as Syd helps Chris Cortez up.]

Syd: So, what you hear?

Chris Cortez: Not much, but I did like what I heard, I heard that-

[Suddenly, Abbey Riley and Cameron the Cameraman with a brand new camera in hand show up on the scene.]

Abbey Riley: Ok, Cortez, lets do this.

Chris Cortez: As much as Id love to, I have an enemy to catch up to and-

[Cameron the Cameraman turns on the camera and puts it on his shoulder as he points to Abbey Riley who stands next to Chris Cortez.]

Abbey Riley: Now, Chris Cortez, after hearing that the Beast has indeed agreed to join forces to take down Killjoy, how do you feel?

Chris Cortez: How Do I feel? I feel great, knowing that two already big names in LSW, two legends, will be taking down a bunch of no good non-talented morons who think they are better than us.

Abbey Riley: Are you saying your WANT Killjoy and Vertigo to win?

Chris Cortez: What? Im not talking about Vertigo or Killjoy. Im talking about THE MAN WITH THE VIOLENCE FETISH, the Beast and THE TRUE TALENTED MEGA STAR, the "One Man Boyband", Chris Cortez! WE, are the up and comers of this federation, WE, are the ones who truly deserve the top spots that glory and power hoggers such as Killjoy and Vertigo just cant let go of.

I mean, Ive said enough about Killjoy for one day, so lets move on to Vertigo. Killjoy's rival of the past. Now, Vertigo wants to come back out of nowhere and align with himself with Killjoy to save their spots at the top? Fine, so be it. However, no matter how much Vertigo and Killjoy believe they are total opposites and have nothing in common. Let me say that, they do.

Abbey Riley: Such as?

Chris Cortez: Well, both have been World Heavyweight Champion and both have, when champion, been power hungry and used Malicea and the management to their advantage. Its no wonder they are teaming up to try and stop us. They know that when, not If, when we take the spots in this federation which are rightfully ours, they will be left with nothing. Nothing except their very names, like Killjoy said, nothing but a name and what lies behind it will be remembered.

Now, their names shouldn't be remembered for what they have done in their lifetime, no. That doesn't matter. What they should be remembered for is that they were a bunch of egotistical, power hungry, management controller, de-pushing, holding down, I have the power and you don't, champions. Such a thing, gives their names a bad name, it taints it, it ruins it. To me, they are not a bunch of legends who should be looked up upon and worshiped. No, they should be torn down from their podiums and let those who deserve, those who haven't been tainted, those who will never be tainted and never give into greed and power, to stand in their spots and put dignity back to them.

Abbey Riley: Any other comments?

Chris Cortez: I got plenty Abbey, so just shutup and listen. You see, like I said, they are both alike so much, its no wonder they are teaming up. They both want the same thing in the end. They both want the power, the glory, the management pull, they both want to taste and have all of that, for themselves. However, only one of them can posses it, thus their greed for power and their giant "legendary" egos will be their downfall.

They both know that when its all said and done, only one of them can walk away with it. Only one can regain the glory, regain the power. They might be friends now Abbey, but sooner or later, their foundation will crumble. Now-

[Suddenly, "Oh Hell Yeah" by H-Bloxx hits as Chris Cortez looks around and hears hundreds of fans yelling and screaming]

Chris Cortez: The hell is that coming from?

[Abbey points at a TV across the hall as some LSW Employees tapping the event, for the archives, are watching the LSW House Show. Chris Cortez walks into the room and watches as Killjoy walks around the ring and poses for the crowd as he's then handed a mic. The crowd quiets down now as Killjoy beings to speak his mind.]

Killjoy: Well, well. Baby Cortez goes running off to his new mommy management. Awe. Isn't that sweet. But hey, I don't mind. I'm completely cool about how you feel Cortez. Hell, when Vertigo beat me, I felt the same way. But unlike you, I accepted my faults and made them my strengths. Sure, I whined again and again about it, but at least I was man enough not to go on about it when I should have had my mind on a different opponent. Even though you beat Morglum, you couldn't stop talking about me and the management. It drove me crazy, it drove Morglum crazy, but! The one group of people you didn't drive crazy was the management. I just came from the weekly management meeting and it seems that your now the money man. Your limited amount of merchandise made the most money for the corporation this week and by the way the management was talking about you, your going to be the real next big thing......money wise I mean. But in the ring, I'm still king, I'm still the LSW World Heavyweight champion......for the moment. It wouldn't surprise me if they give you this piece of gold colored metal soon enough. Not because you have talent or skill, but because your going to make money for the company.

Chris Cortez: He wishes. He wishes it was the other way around. Too bad its not, his old mind needs to stop making up such a reality for him to live in. I am the one with the true talent, he is the one who needs the Almighty Dollar to save him. I dont need it to help me win titles, I dont need it to help me in the ring, I use my TRUE TALENT, something Killjoy has none of.

Killjoy: For you see, its not how good you are in the ring that determines who wins and who loses, its how much money you can make that decides it. You pointed that much out yourself. But hey, if you can drag your ego out of your ass for one match, I'm ready to kick your ass once again. But knowing that your ego won't disappear in this next week makes me think that you've got something up you sleeve. Maybe your manager, Syd, is hiding another set of brass knuckles

Chris Cortez: Why is it that everytime I beat someone fair and square, they blame brass knuckles? Why cant they just admit that I am better than them and they just cant match up to what I am? Is that so hard to admit? I mean, Ive never used Brass Nucks, that damn liar. Making up all this garbage and look at them, those brain less fans, believing every word.

Killjoy: Or maybe you've been able to convince management to finally give you Angel and the World title without having to actually earn it. But I could talk about this shit all night, but you people need to go home. But I'll leave with this. Hurry up Cortez, I need more shit to prove you wrong about

Chris Cortez: I'll give you some shit right now, c'mon Syd we're heading back to the arena and-

[Chris Cortez goes to turn around but he bumps into Golaith and Curse who grab him and drag him into the hall, pushing him up against the wall.]

Golaith: We told you to not get in Killjoy's way.

Chris Cortez: Damn corporate goons, get off of me!

Curse: You've caused enough of a disturbance. We heard that down the hall, an Employee saw u flee the scene after you jumped on him from the ceiling.

Chris Cortez: What?! I didnt do anything!

Curse: Sure, now let's go!

Chris Cortez: No! Im not going!

Goliath: YES YOU ARE!

Chris Cortez: NO!

[Goliath grabs Chris Cortez but he kicks him in the groin as then Chris Cortez and Syd run away. Curse chases after them as they head into the parking lot and dukes of hazard style their way into Chris Cortez car. They speed off as Curse watches them and slams his fist against the side of the building, when suddenly Ernie Styles comes up to him as he tries to catch his breath.]

Ernie: Curse, buddy! You HAVE to hear what I just heard! Wanna know a little secret about Richard? Huh?
