[Scene: We open up at Blind Willie's Bar. The date isn't today. The date on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen on the camera reads another. The date of the LSW house show in which Killjoy attended and gave his latest and greatest speech. So, why revisit here? We'll all find out soon enough.] Richard: This next match is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, LOBO! [Lobo makes his way out as the fans cheer, some boo, some don't even care. It's an LSW house show. Certainly none of the big talents would be there, right? At this particular house show though, those who think that such would be unlikely, should open their eyes. For far off in a dark corner of the bar, we find Chris Cortez and Syd, just sitting there, watching it all. Chris Cortez swirls his drink around as he watches on, as Richard announces the opponent] Richard: And his opponent...Spike Steel! [Spike Steel comes out to the same ovation, parts love em, parts hate and parts couldn't give one shit about him. As the match starts, the fans keep their eyes fixated on the match. They keep their eyes so fixated, they done realize that what they once thought was impossible, was indeed possible, that some higher up material would be there] Chris Cortez: Hm, quiet the New Generation material, wouldn't you say Syd? [Syd just nods] Chris Cortez: Indeed. Defiantly not like that sniveling little punk Sammy. I proved to the world that he is not New Generation material. Now, I heard what Killjoy had to say about the matter. How I was "Beaten by a rookie". I wasn't beaten by a rookie! The ref didn't see me tap! Why? Because I didn't tap! The only person who was tapping in that ring was Sammy! He was tapping and I should have won! Hell, I did win! If the ref's weren't so blind they would see that he tapped before he got hold of the ropes. Easy as that. Besides, the little punk didn't even say a word about the match, therefore, the one who does the work, should reap the spoils. Although, I suppose the system doesn't always work like clockwork. [Chris Cortez sips on his drink as he watches the match] Chris Cortez: Speaking of that match, Killjoy says that Ill say anything to make myself look better? I don't have to say anything at all to make myself look better than anyone, because I, AM than anyone. I mean, why else do you think Killjoy and company are banding together to try and stop me? Why do you think that their whole campaign is all about stopping me?! Because they know, they know that I am better than all of them. They think that the more people, the more worthless pieces of trash they get, the more has-beens they accumulate, they will be able to stop me. They are all jealous of me. Jealous of my talent, jealous of my looks, my skills, jealous of the fact that I am the World Heavyweight Champion and jealous that I am the FUTURE of the LSW! [Chris Cortez sips on his drink as he continues to watch the match] Chris Cortez: I am the future and the future is the only thing that matters. The past means nothing. Killjoy and all his little past LSW buddies, they mean nothing these days. They know that they are nothing these days. That they are nothing but mere shadows of what they once we're. They no longer have the same charisma, the same talent, the same anything, its all diminished, its all gone. All their resources have been used up, they have run dry. Much like when the WWE, then known as the WWF, went from family entertainment to entertainment with an Attitude, the old wrestlers couldn't handle it anymore, they just didn't fit the new direction, so they went off to other OLD-Fueled Federations, we're they OLD way of doing it was still the right way. We of course all know how that ended in the end, right? [Chris Cortez takes a sip of his drink as he continues to watch the match, now going on bout 3 minutes worth] Chris Cortez: Indeed. We all do. Much like back then, we, the LSW, are going in a new direction. A NEW GENERATION direction. We're escaping from the past, the past where has-beens such as Killjoy, Vertigo and other old-men reigned supreme. With this turn of the direction, your old-man runs are over, you cant keep up anymore. But, you wont be denied that, right? No, of course not. You cant sit back and be denied rights you believe you still possess. You cant come to terms with the fact that you are over and done with and that a new age has begun. So, you ban together, all of you past loving has-beens, to try to turn the LSW back around, and bring back what you consider the "hay day" of the LSW. [Chris Cortez just laughs as he drinks more of his drink, continuing to watch the match] Chris Cortez: If the "hay day" of the LSW is watching the same two people go at it week after week, than no thank you. This, this match and many like it in which I watch is the NEW GENERATION. New faces, new matches, new angles and new storylines, all for the watching. Not the same old crap week in and week out. Much like the comparison I used with the WWE to WCW. One took a new direction and beat the competition, while one did the same ol shtick, with the same old wrestlers, over and over, till it ran itself into the ground. Old faces and Old ideas ran that company into the ground. Greedy faces who demanded millions of dollars to stay, when they did barely anything worthy in return for it. They demanded title shots up the whazoo, and got them, just because of their old faces and nostalgia value. While all this happened, what happened to the fresh and younger and more newer talent? They got nothing. The old men couldn't play fair, they wanted it all for themselves, they all believe youth was wasted on the young. [Chris Cortez sips on his drink and continues to watch the match] Chris Cortez: The only reason old people say that is because they are jealous of young people. They want their youth back. They want to be back in their prime. Back when people gave a damn about them and they weren't just former shells of their selves, they we're actually them, their whole selves. Much like how you are jealous of everything that I am and how I am better than you once we're and how I am better than you are now. Yet you still believe you stand a chance. HA! You see, what you failed to realize, what you and the rest of the UWA fail to realize, is that that will never happen. You will never be able to return to the past and regain your youth. Each day you grow older, and more pathetic. You need to spend your youth to the best each day, or lose it. You have lost it. All of you who wish to see the past of the LSW return. Your all fighting for a lost cause. The past of the LSW will NEVER return, we are entering a new age, a new direction, we are entering the FUTURE of the LSW. THE NEW GENERATION. [Chris Cortez finishes his drink as he looks on at the match] Chris Cortez: An age of prosperity, not an age of the same faces at the top, getting the royal treatment while the young talent get nothing. The UWA fight for this. They fight because they feel they still deserve everything, when they really deserve nothing. I repeat myself and say it over and over in hopes that old men like you, who forget EVERYTHING will once realize, that you are NOTHING anymore. Your run is over. Your no longer at the top. Your no longer what you once we're. You need to realize this and If you cant, then your in for one hell of a wakeup call, because the end of the past WILL catch up with you! [Chris Cortez continues watching the match as Spike Steel creeps up behind Lobo and gets ready to finish him off with the Cobra Coil sleeper hold when a vision of a little girl appears on the "mini house show screen of the LSW] Little Girl: Your all going to die down here!! Chris Cortez: The hell was that? Don't tell me those idiots are here... [Spike Steel is stunned by this. But Lobo is able to turn around and nail Spike Steel with an impact DDT and goes for the cover. The referee goes down and counts. 1...2...3. Lobo gets up and gets his hand raised by the referee. Richard gets into the ring] Richard: Your winner, in a time of 6 minutes 25 seconds, LOBO!!! [Chris Cortez looks angered at this] Chris Cortez: That's just like those bastards, make someone look the other way so you can use it to your advantage. Manolo: That was a great win by Lobo. But we have to winder what the hell's up with the backstage AV guy. Or maybe it was a warning to someone around here. Hector: I don't give a shit man, that bitch was hot! Put her up again man! [As if the backstage AV guy was listening to Hector, the little girl appears on the "Mini house show screen of the LSW" again] Little Girl: Your all going to die down here!! [But instead of disappearing like before, the image of the little girl gets covered by blood as "My Plague" by Slipknot begins to play. A moment later, the two most unwanted men in Lost Soul wrestling, better known as Vertigo and Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway, make their way out onto the small house show stage. Vertigo just stands there looking slick with his new hair cut, black glasses and long black overcoat with the letters "UWA" on the back in red flame like text. Killjoy looks equally as slick with his black glasses, UWA shirt & black jeans. Vertigo just stand with his arms crossed as Killjoy does his Tommy Dreamer stance before they head down to the ring] Chris Cortez: Oh, great. [Chris Cortez looks on, unimpressed] Chris Cortez: Oh look, here comes the veteran's day parade, a bit early though. Oh wait, its just the old men of the UWA. Look at them, trying to look young with their hair slicked back with the sunglasses and their clothes. PAH-LEASE! They're not fooling anyone except themselves! Richard: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honor of introducing the two most recognisable face in Lost Soul Wrestling. Both men are former 2 time LSW World Heavyweight Champions, multi time LSW Mixed Tag Team and LSW League Champions. They are the founders of the Unwanted Wrestling Alliance and the most loved superstars this federation used to have on their roster. First the master of the spoken word. A working man's champion and LSW living legend. VERTIGO!! and his friend, mentor and UWA partner, from The Bowery, New Jersey. The master of mind games. A legend who will not die no matter what happens. Deakin "KILLJOY" Kalloway!! [Chris Cortez just laughs a bit as he looks on] Chris Cortez: Man, how much money did they have to pay him to say all that sucking up garbage? Jeesh, they will make themselves look good no matter what, its pathetic! Oh well great, here they go, about to open their mouths and give us another earful of their old wives tales. [Chris Cortez watches and listens on in the darkness of the bar's corner as Killjoy, in the spotlight, of the moment, in the ring, speaks out to the crowd with his faithful bitch Vertigo, close behind, as always] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: The past is what shapes the future. But in the end, that is all it is, the past. A dictionary defines past as being something that has happened. If you were to look at the past scientifically in the passage of time, you would realise that something that happened in the past does not affect the present. Unless someone has invented time travel in the last few years and we didn't know about it. But my point is, the past is done, it's over. It's time to look towards the future. But for some reason, Chris Cortez wants to keep bringing up my past. Ok Chris, we get the point already. My career is over, Vertigo is fired. But there is nothing stopping us from doing what we love. Just take a look at people like The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan & Ric Flair, these guys should have hung up the boots by now, but they keep coming back. Not because they want the spotlight, it's because they love the business. We're the same. We're not in it for the spotlight, we're in it because we love the business. I think that somewhere along the way, you forgot about that. All you want is the spotlight and now that your the LSW World Heavyweight champion, you have the spotlight and I don't think you really want to share. [As the fans chant "Chris Cortez is an Asshole" over and over, Chris Cortez just rolls his eyes over it all] Chris Cortez: Man, talk about being caught up in the moment, bunch of damn lemmings. I mean, look at them all, buying into Killjoy's pathetic words. His words bring me back to what I spoke of before. He is JUST like the old fogies of wrestling. People like Undertaker, Hogan and Flair. Sure, they love the business, I wont take that away from them. But, the "business" is just that, A BUSINESS. In a business, its all about the money. They are all about the money, the title shots, the fame. They stink up the place, staying long past their expiration date, demanding more money, title shots, and more respect. Pathetic. Pathetic that they just cant move on, its simply pathetic, they must believe they rightfully belong at the top and hold everyone who deserves it more down. Pathetic. They ARE just like Undertaker, Hogan and Flair. In much more than one way. [As the fans quiet down, Killjoy continues] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: As for what we did. We didn't do it for ourselves. Sure, we might get a few benefits from this but we didn't really do it for us. We did this for those in the LSW who don't want to follow you. We did this for those who don't want to be apart of your new generation. Those people who join the UWA want to learn the true facts about this business and we are the one's who will teach them how to do more and say more than you could ever teach them. I have thought may people in this place. Vertigo is my best student. He learnt from me and then became better than me. On many occasions I admitted it. In the end, we decided that after pointless battle after pointless battle, we were the same. We learnt from each other in the end. I was hoping that you would learn from me too Cortez, but the only thing you learnt from me was manipulation and greed. [As Killjoy stops talking and asks Vertigo if he wants ago, Chris Cortez just look on and shakes his head] Chris Cortez: Teach them, eh? Teach them? About what? How to ware out their welcome? How to bore people with the same thing over and over? How to create stables to get what you want and how to use corporate means to also get what you want If "plan a" fails? Go on teach, go on and teach em. Keep the past alive, by brainwashing the future, and keeping it in the past. Go ahead. I feel sorry for them, sorry that when the time comes for you too screw them all over, they will not have seen it coming. I know that once they have served you enough, you will just get rid of them. You've done it before, and history always repeats itself. Which is why I didn't want to become apart of the Killjoy's Bitch Club. I didn't want to become another mindless drone like Vertigo or the "mysterious 3". I didn't want to get screwed over in the end. No, for in the end, it wont be me who gets screwed over, it will be you Killjoy. You and the past. For the New Generation will once again prove that the past over and that it is NOTHING, much like you and your fellow bitches. [Chris Cortez watches on as Killjoy continues his little speech] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: Now you decided to go to the UWA home page and do a little research on your compedtition. Good for you, it shows that your wanting to know more about those who will soon be kicking your ass. But I'll tell you something that's not on the website. The 3 men I'm talking about on the page. If Wreck joins, he'll be number 4. Wreck is another matter all together. But seeing as I'm talking about Wreck, I might as well talk to Wreck. At this point in time, I haven't gotten an answer from you at all. I'd just like to tell you one thing. Think before you say anything. I may have betrayed you last time, and I've already explained and apologised for what I did. But Cortez, he called you a nothing and a has-been before he asked you to join his new generation. He's already accepting you as a lost cause for his plans, so I ask you once again. Join up with the UWA, we can help you do the great things you were ment to do a long time ago [Chris Cortez just shakes his head as the fans chant "Hardcore Wreck"] Chris Cortez: Yeah, I mean, as someone once said, know thy enemy. Me? I know them well. I know Hardcore Wreck well. I know his history with Killjoy, well. As well as he himself should. He should remember when Killjoy stabbed him in the back. One must wonder, how did that make Hardcore Wreck feel? Horrible I would imagine. To have your friend, or someone who said he was your friend, go and stab you in the back. Ive said it before, history DOES repeat itself. Killjoy might sound all sympathetic and caring now, but really, who is to say he isn't capable of it all over again? Who is to say that he wont turn on his good friend Wreck again? Sure, maybe I said a few harsh words about Wreck, but all in good reason. While Wreck hasn't been THAT successful in the singles world, as Killjoy put, it doesn't mean he cant be. He has what it takes, he has the talent, he just needs the right motivation and the right drive. Besides, does Wreck really want to rely on Killjoy all his life? Does he really want to become his bitch again and get bitch slapped when he's not wanted anymore? Or does he want to do it all on his own and become a real man? The choice is his, and his alone. I just hope, for his sake, he makes the right one. [Chris Cortez watches on as the fans quiet down and Killjoy talks on] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: Lets get back to you Cortez. You always seem so quick to write people off if they can either beat you or if they don't join you. We all saw that Darkkynn had you beat in the ring with a submission hold. So you decide to punish him for beating you by getting yourself disqualified. It's all smiles and sunshine from the World champ until you prove that your better than him. So this goes out to anyone in the back who watched his match last week. If you can beat him, he'll just turn on you. All he's looking for are people who he can keep under his thumb. If you want to get out from under his thumb, the UWA is the way. Once Cortez is gone, the LSW will be free to return to a state where wrestling is the only business and there will be no more egos like Cortez. I've learnt my lesson and its time to act on that lesson. [Chris Cortez just rolls his eyes as the fans chant "UWA"] Chris Cortez: God, bunch of heat of the moment lemmings. And they believe every word of this garbage? Oh Killjoy, your quiet the garbageman to be handing out so much of it. The fact of the matter is this: I, AM most talented man in the whole entire world. NO ONE can beat me FAIR and SQUARE. NO ONE. To those who try to, they only end up failing. Spare me your response of our match with the weapons, you had weapons. Im talking a fair and square match. A normal match. Kinda like the one where I faced you one on one, you know, the one where I won the LSW World Heavyweight Title off of you. Of course, you DID try to cheat with the help of Angel and Vertigo, so what does that REALLY say about you? Hmmm? You see, I quickly write people off who wont join me, because, well, they want to see the LSW stuck in the past. When everything that is wrong about the LSW, comes from the past. It comes from people like you. It comes, from you. You believe that once Im gone, business will resume as normal? Ah yes, business. Killjoy's business. The business of the past. Where Killjoy and other has-beens rule the top of the ladder with an iron fist and bask in the glory of the spotlight with their money and titles while everyone else hides in the shadows in fear. Pathetic. If the LSW EVER heads back to those dark ages, than Im out of here. I don't want to stick around in such a God forbidden dump where old fogies still believe their in their prime and its still the past. [Chris Cortez follows Killjoy's gaze and point as fans trade in their Chris Cortez stuff for UWA material] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: You see Chris, even your fans are deserting you. Soon, your going to have no-one to watch your back. Sure, your going to have Beast and the Dark Carnival, but even so its not guaranteed how long their alliance will be with you. Maybe they will see you for the shallow prick you really are, then when your all alone. One of the UWA will take that belt from you and the new era of Lost Soul Wrestling will begin. The true LSW Shangri La. [The fans start chanting "Shangri La", as Chris Cortez just looks around with a weird look on his face] Chris Cortez: The fuck does that mean?! Bunch of brainwashed heat of the moment lemmings, they will say and do anything, wont they? Looks like Its up to ME again to wake them up and show them the truth. To expose Killjoy and his brainless bitches just who truly has it all and who has none at all. I will, along with the New Generation, put a stop to these morons who live in the past, just as I did before. As for one of their ranks stealing MY belt from ME? Hm, Ill touch base on THAT in a moment, let's here what else he has to say. [As the fans quiet down, Killjoy continues] Deakin "Killjoy" Kalloway: Hell, seeing as I'm out here, I might as well say something to Wraith. Wraith, I've known you for a while. You've done quite well for yourself but do one thing. Come out of hiding and say something. You know how this place works and because of the way this place works, your slowly moving down the roster and soon enought you'll be right back here where you started. Do you really want that Wraith? I'm sure you don't. But come TRTN, I'm going to make you tap. Your going to tap just like Cortez did last week. [Killjoy and company's music hit as him and Vertigo leave. Chris Cortez looks on and just shakes his head as they head to the back and Richard enters the ring to announce the next match] Chris Cortez: Its funny how Killjoy bitches about me writing people off and being mean to them if they done have what it takes or not wanting to join me, when he writes off Wraith. I mean, its just funny how Killjoy said in his last promo that Wraith is not what he once was, when Killjoy is just that, not what he once was. Then he goes on to say people like me done know what real work is? He doesn't know what real work is. All his LSW Career, probably his whole career for that matter, he's used corporate means, stable means, and any other means he can get his hands on, as long as HIS hands isn't doing the work. Speaking of such, let me get back on the subject of the UWA stealing MY belt from ME. Let me talk about Goldman as well. [Chris Cortez goes to drink his drink, but finds it empty, he holds it out to Syd who takes it and rushes towards the bar] Chris Cortez: You see, while Killjoy was quick to say Wreck wasn't one of the "mysterious 3", he didnt say that Goldman or Vega, my two others picks, wasn't one of them. Which brings me to question, will the UWA be pathetic enough to interfere in my match and help Goldman, a possible new member, win MY title? Yes. They are pathetic enough to do that. They know that none of them is talented enough, gifted enough, or better enough than me. So they all have to group up to take me down. I mean, that is their main objective, right? That is why they are all ganging up, creating the 'Chris Cortez Haters Club', to take me down, right? That's why they Pathetic. Pathetic to think it takes ALL of them, to take out little ol' me. But, that's what It will take and If Goldman has to resort to such means, that's just pathetic. [Syd comes back and hands Chris his drink, who sips it down] Chris Cortez: Thanks. [Syd nods as Chris Cortez takes another sip] Chris Cortez: You see, Goldman, if you do go the way of the UWA, you will become very pathetic. If you need their help to get ANYWHERE, you are pathetic. Although, I guess that's what you learn in Camp Killjoy. You learn to rely on others to get you through life. From stable bitches to corporate mothers. You learn to make others suffer while you prosper. You learn to make friends, then destroy em and run with your money and hell, their money too. What no Arts and Crafts? You see Goldman, if that's the path you want to choose, go right ahead. Go ahead and become a thing of the past, because if you go with the UWA, that's all you will be. You love the past? Stick with it, stay with it. I am the future, and I am destroying the past. I am destroying all which stands in my way from moving on. Destroying those who are holding the LSW back from going into the future and moving in a new direction. You, are just another person holding us and the LSW back. [Chris Cortez takes another sip as he continues] Chris Cortez: I cant allow that. Not at all. So, if you go that way, your on my list. List of the past loving morons of this federation, who wont let go. I will make you let go. On TRTN, I will make you let go. No matter what. You say you hate being called a freak, well, if you join the UWA, you will prove your just that: a freak. Nothing but a past loving freak. An UNWANTED freak, because that's what past loving freaks are: UNWANTED. Now, If you and your UNWANTED buddies got plans to screw me over on TRTN, remember, Ive got backup of my own. They wont hesitate to make their presence know if your little buddies make theirs. You and your little UWA bitches want a war? Its already started as far as Im concerned and when the dust is settled and the smoke has cleared, the only people left standing will be the NEW GENERATION and we will take the LSW into the future where it rightfully belongs! [Chris Cortez finishes his drink and slams it down on the table as he gets up and walks out the side fire exit door, with Syd in tow. The camera shuts off and the scene fades to black just as two dark hooded figures walk out the same exit and into Chris Cortez's limo] |
