[Scene: We open up on some unknown street, some good blocks from the LSW Offices. Along said road, there lies nothing but blank space. Buildings long sense condemned only have but rubble of where they once stood. Once great titans of towers have now been reduced to nothing but mere stepping stones. Signs posted along the ride warn passerby's of new establishments yet to be built. The future sites of future enterprisers, taking the place of where others once stood. The question is...will these new foundations crumble just like those that came before them? Time will tell.]

Chris Cortez: Man, oh man, that was close!

[Scene: With that statement, we now find ourselves inside of Chris Cortez's car, as him and Syd speed along the road. Syd, next to him in the passenger's seat, nods his head and smiled.]

Syd: I'll say. So, what did you hear?

Chris Cortez: Well, I-What the hell?

[Chris Cortez looks over at the side of the road at a Subway Shop, where it seems like dozens of people are heading inside for some reason.]

Chris Cortez: Man, wonder what they are so happy about?

Syd: Yeah, Ive never been a fan of Subway.

[Chris Cortez looks at Syd and laughs a bit]

Chris Cortez: I can see why.

[Syd looks at himself, then at Chris]

Syd: What?! The hell does that mean?

Chris Cortez: Oh, nothing.

Syd: No, what did you mean by THAT?! Are you saying Im fat?!

Chris Cortez: No, no, of course not! You misunderstood!

Syd: Misunderstood what?!

Chris Cortez: Look, I-

[Chris Cortez notices a sign on the side of a local bank which also has a clock on it, which reads 4:45]

Chris Cortez: Oh, great! Look at the time! We're going to be late for our date!

Syd: The hell are you waiting for then?! Let's go!

[Chris Cortez puts the pedal to the metal as his car kicks into high gear and speeds down the street. As they pass a billboard, a police officer on a motorcycle speeds out from behind it. With his lights and siren on, he chases after them in hot pursuit.]

Syd: Ah, Chris, I think you might want to pull over.

[Chris Cortez looks up into the rearview mirror and sees the Police Officer]

Chris Cortez: Great! Just Great! What else could happen today?!

[Chris Cortez pulls over to the side of the road as the Police Officer stops and gets off of his bike as he takes off his helmet. He heads over to the car and as he arrives at the window, Chris Cortez rolls it down and smiles]

Chris Cortez: Is there a problem officer?

Police Officer: Why, yes, there is a problem. You see, you we're, you we're, hey, your that Chris Cortez kid, right? From the LSW?

Chris Cortez: Yup, that's me.

[With that, Chris Cortez smiles an ego filled smile]

Police Officer: Man, do I feel sorry for you.

[And With that, Its gone.]

Chris Cortez: What the hell do you mean you feel sorry for me?\

Police Officer: Well, your facing Killjoy and all, I mean, I figured after your first lose against him, you would have learned.

Chris Cortez: Learned what?

Police Officer: You know, not to mess with the most violent player in the game. But hey, whatever, its your funeral.

[The Police Officer writes down something on a piece of paper as Chris Cortez angrily looks up at him.]

Chris Cortez: Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, you nostalgia blinded zombie, but I will be the one winning on TRTN, I can guarantee it!

[The Police Officer looks up from his notepad for a second and smirks a bit as he then goes back to what he was doing.]

Police Officer: Yeah, sure kid, aint no way some rookie like you could ever topple such a legend like him.

[The anger in Chris Cortez rises as Syd holds him back a bit.]

Chris Cortez: Rookie!? ME?! Legend!? HIM?! No, No, No my poor misguided fool! That's just what him and the rest of those greedy bastards in management want you to think! So, Ive only been in the business for about a couple of years now and Killjoy has been in it for more than 8, big deal! How long you've been in wrestling doesn't help classify you as a legend!

[The Police Officer looks up again at Chris Cortez]

Police Officer: Than what in your mind, does?

Chris Cortez: Well-

[Suddenly, the radio station that Chris Cortez and Syd we're listening to turns to something other than music. Chris Cortez stops talking as Syd turns up the volume]

DJV: Hey, Hey, Dis is DJ V, Dats DJ Vicious here with a news scoop so hot it'll burn the inside a ya ears just listening to it! We've got the recent interview from the returning Legend of the Ring, Vertigo of the LSW, right here in town! We've got it all for you, right here, and only here, only on 101.9 the only station that truly rocks!

Chris Cortez: The hell? Turn it up a bit more Syd, lets see if he has anything important to say.

[The interview starts up as Syd, Chris Cortez and the Police Officer listen to it. The first couple of minutes are not that exciting, but then they start to pick up.]

Veritgo: ...The Beast had my respect, but then he abused it. He and Cortez talk about how Killjoy and I are former power-hungry champs, but look at them. If they were lucky enough to hold righteous gold, they'd do exactly the same thing, undoubtedly...what other choice do you have? The name of the game is domination, and the fact of the matter is that Killjoy and myself taught you rookies how to play the game.

Police Officer: Yeah, you bunch of rookies.

Chris Cortez: Ah, shutup! They didn't teach me nothing! Everything that I have learned and everything that I have done and earned so far is on my own accord. I didn't need any help from greedy management, or stable members, or second hand men like Vertigo had. No! I did everything and more on my own!

Vertigo: Don't go thinking your hot shit just because you get to stand in my shadow. You know that's all anyone remembers the Beast for anyway, is being Vertigo's secondhand man...that's all you'll ever be worth Beast. It's time to recognize just who the living legends are and who the runts are. The truth will be told eventually, you know that damn well...

Chris Cortez: Yeah, the truth WILL be told just who the true legends are, and who the quote unquote "runts" are. The TRUE LEGENDS are ME and the Beast, and the runts, the pathetic little cowards who needed help from other people and management to get them to the top, they are the runts! I do not, will not, and never will stand in their shadows, for my shadow engulfs theirs! I am fair more mighty and legendary than they could ever become!

[The Police Officer just rolls his eyes]

Police Officer: Uh-Huh, ok.

[All three go back to listening, for a few minutes, as Vertigo touches base back on to Chris Cortez]

Abbey Riley: Well, what about "The One Man Boyband" Chris Cortez?

Vertigo: Now there's a schizo if I've ever heard of one. He's had a million other schticks, but none so lame as this one.

Chris Cortez: The hell does he mean by that and why does everyone day that about me?!

Syd: I don't know.

Chris Cortez: Niether do I. I just dont get what he means by that or what anyone means by that. I mean, I done go around acting all of these different parts, pretending Im this or that. Im not some crazy loon like Chris Cage who can go from a sKinny Gold Freak to a Big Fat Guy and back! I am, always was and always will be the TRUE TALENTED SUPER MEGA STAR Chris Cortez, the "One Man Boyband!"

Abbey Riley: I was referring to his comments about you being power-hungry & selfish during your reign as champion...

Vertigo: Oh. Well, then. The way I see it, he's another Che Guevara, trying to topple the "evil establishment" and unwilling to accept the truth that smacks him in the face everyday. He'll never admit the fact that we've got his number, so he hides behind bold statements outside the ring. He and Beast both believe that Killjoy and myself were some kind of tyrants, when in fact we were only surviving. I'd love to see him say what he says to my face, in the ring.... then he can see just how I earned my gold.

Chris Cortez: Oh, how I would love to, If I we're just given the chance. Id love to meet him in the ring one on one and show him just who the real LEGEND, really is! I would love to show him just who the more deserving man is, who the real TRUE TALENTED MEGA STAR is and that...is ME!

Vertigo: Although, I'm curious, what exactly is it that made us such horrible champions? What did we ever do that made us anything more than competitors? More than gladiators in the arena like everyone else?

Chris Cortez: Easy, they cheated. They took and used power from management and used it to their advantages. They used power to make matches in their favor, destroy those who went after them and stop anyone who even thought of wanting to dethrone them of their positions. Well, like those before me, like those who have tried in the past, I will do the same. I will do the same by going against them and try and dethrone them. Unlike those before me, where they have failed, I will succeed.

Vertigo: Nothing. He's got nothing. I guarantee if he were to be asked point blank what it is that we did, he'd be dumbfounded; speechless; awestruck; or in other words, mentally incapable of providing an answer. What a moron. He has no clue what he's getting into. Absolutely none.

Chris Cortez: Oh, but I do. I do. I have already now and in many other cases given quite a case against your mis-doings. It isn't me who is the moron, or doesn't have a clue. Its this Vertigo, this Vertigo who's very name is quite ironic. He obviously doesn't have a fear of high places no, he loves them. He needs to be in a high place, he cant live without that. He must always be a the top, always be number 1 and will do whatever it takes to remain there.

[Chris Cortez chuckles a bit as the interview is over and the radio station goes to a commercial]

Chris Cortez: Whatever it takes. To cheat, to steal, to corrupt, to destroy, whatever it takes. He'll do it. He has returned out of the blue to help Killjoy stop us, stop two men who threaten him and Killjoy's spot at the top. Now, two corrupted "legends", two corrupted men and two corrupted champions have aligned to stop the uprising. The uprising which threatens their throne, their spot at the top. Hm. Like I said, this man, Vertigo, he will do anything to remain at top, it seems. I bet he will do anything, even if it means backstabbing his partner in crime right in the back to gain it all in the end. Yes, the future looks intriguing, it looks to be interesting and it looks to be-

Police Officer: 150 bucks.

[Chris Cortez looks up at the Police Officer]

Chris Cortez: Huh?

Police Officer: 150, that's what you owe to the court, due by next Friday. Have a nice day and-

[The Police Officer tries to hold back a laugh]

Police Officer: Good luck on Tuesday, your going to need it.

[The Police Officer hands Chris Cortez his ticket as he angrily takes it and watches the Police Officer walks away. Getting on his bike, the Police Officer speeds away as Chris Cortez watches him speed off into the distance.]

Syd: C'mon, lets go, we're late as it is.

Chris Cortez: Yeah, Yeah.

[Chris Cortez puts the pedal to the metal as they speed off into the distance as well, as the sun fades into the horizon in the distance.]

[Scene: We find ourselves at a classy looking dance club filled with neon lights as it gives off an 80's vibe. On the inside people dance on a multicolored and flashy checkered dance floor, complete with a hanging disco ball. The DJ is at the front of this as he spins a little "Summer Madness" from Kool and the Gang.

Off in one of the VIP corners of the club we see three girls, who look to be twins, or in this case triplets, of some sort, as they all look pretty much alike. From the entrance way come Chris Cortez and Syd as they head towards the VIP Arena, after showing their ID's and show they are on the guest list, they head inside]

Chris Cortez: Ladies! Ladies! How are you? Missy? Krissy? Sissy?

Missy: We're Fine, although, you two ARE late.

Chris Cortez: Ever so sorry ladies, we ran into some troubles, but don't worry, we are here now.

[Chris Cortez and Syd sit down next to the three girls, Chris Cortez between Krissy and Missy and Syd between Missy and Sissy]

Chris Cortez: So, how are you fine looking ladies doing tonight?

Kissy: We're fine Chrissy, now that you are here.

Chris Cortez: Oh please, girls! PAH-LEASE! Tonight isn't all about me, well most of it is, but it's also about you three.

Syd: What about me?

Chris Cortez: Ah, yeah, and him too. Tonight we will party and then tomorrow and Monday I shall train and work out and then when Tuesday night rolls around we shall party some more! I mean, c'mon ladies, is there any doubt in your mind that ME, the "One Man Boyband", the TRUE TALENTED MEGA STAR will not walk out of TRTN the winner? I mean-

Angel: You dragged me down here so I could watch you download Japanese cartoons?

Killjoy: Nope. I'm going to access the surveillance tapes of every hotel within 10 hours drive of the LSW main office. With luck, I'll find the tapes from Cortez's hotel room.

Chris Cortez: The hell?

[Chris Cortez turns and looks up at a TV set to the late night LSW Rewind Show, showing all that happened during the week and in turn used to hype TRTN. Chris Cortez sees Angel and Killjoy in a dark room, some sort of basement of some sort, as Killjoy types away at a computer and Angel watches.]

Angel: Isn't this illegal? your basically hacking into another computer system without permission.

Killjoy: Na. I installed the network in thousands on hotels and office buildings in the US. I need to maintain those networks so I have unlimited access to them. I also have access to the LSW main office computer network too. Now were is it.

[As Killjoy looks, the anger of Chris Cortez starts to grow]

Chris Cortez: That corporate bastard! Listen to those lies! What he is doing IS illegal! That bastards thinks he can get away with this just because he's got the LSW Management in his back pocket at the moment? Just because he has such power, doesn't mean he can go off breaking the law!

[The promo seems to obviously be cut together as the clock on the wall of the room Killjoy and Angel are in goes from one hour to the next in a second. On the computer, Killjoy watches what went on in Chris Cortez dressing room earlier that day.]

Killjoy: I guess Cortez is worried. His words say one thing, but his actions tell a completely different story. Just the fact that he wouldn't give he belt back right away shows that even he is not sure he can pull off a win on Tuesday night. The kissing of the belt shows that he has forgotten about why he was after me in the first place.

Angel: I agree with that. But his words do tell the truth in a warped kind of way.

Chris Cortez: What a bunch of rubbish! Of course I know I can and will win against that idiot come TRTN! I was just reluctant to give up the belt because I knew that I would just win it on TRTN. I mean, what's the sense in giving something up if your just going to get it right back?! As for the kissing, I haven't lost sight of the true mission in all of this. Which is to dethrone Killjoy from his place of power, no, of course I haven't. I just know that once I beat Killjoy, dethrone him from his greedy position of power, I will get his belt. A belt that will finally be in the hands of someone that deserves it, and a person who once in his hands, will not let its power and greed destroy him.

Sissy: Oh, Chrissy, you make it sound so legendary!

Chris Cortez: well, that's what True Legends do, now quiet, I want to listen some more of what he has to say.

Killjoy: ...Just by saying that he is 3 steps ahead of me shows that he is mimicking me in order to become something he will never be, the LSW champion.

Chris Cortez: What a fool. I mean, you ladies know very well that I will be the next LSW Champion and that I will beat him on TRTN, right?

Krissy: Oh of course!

Sissy: No doubt about it!

Chris Cortez: I know, I know. I wasn't mimicking him or trying to be like him, Id never want to do that. I was simply stating a fact, that I am now three steps ahead of him and he'll find that out first hand come TRTN.

Killjoy: He talks later on about how I create a world to hide in, but he does the same thing earlier on. When he talks about Morglum, he's talking about a different meaning of my words. Morglum is a new challenge and there's nothing more to it.

Chris Cortez: What a fool. New challenges and Old Challenges are like books. What's the point in stopping to read an Old Book and go right to reading a New Book? You should finish the Old Book first and be done with it before moving on to a New Book. New Books or Challenges will come, but even when I deal with them, I want to make sure the Old Book, the Old Challenge, is done with before I can officially move on.

Killjoy: Then he goes about saying he's going to be cheated out of another match, only because I said there will be a new champ come December. The thing he never knew was that the title might just change this week, next week or at the end of December, that's up to the management to decide, not me.

Chris Cortez: Or is it? I wonder...hmmm...well, he was right about one thing...

Missy: What?

Chris Cortez: The title will change hands this week, it will changes hands...into MY hands.

Krissy: Oh, I cant wait!

Chris Cortez: Me either. I'll love it when that time comes so I can look down at Killjoy, as he looks up at me and just laugh in his face and show him that I have proven him wrong. Not just him, but everybody.

[The Promo continues but Chris Cortez just looks away.]

Chris Cortez: Ive had enough of Killjoy and all his crap for one day, tonight is all about having a good time and partying till the break of dawn. Tonight we dance, tomorrow and Monday we work. So, what are we waiting for? We've only got a couple more hours left, so let's get going! C'mon girls!

[Chris Cortez gets up and the three girls follow him to the dance floor, Syd goes to get up but Chris Cortez looks back at him.]

Chris Cortez: Syd, you stay here and order us some drinks, we'll be right back! C'mon ladies, shake it for me!
