Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
In the Beginning
Details: The camera pans around the Pure Class Arena as "Chop Suey" by System of a Down blares through the P.A. System. As usual, we see the many fan signs sprinkled throughout the ruckus crowd. But before the event begins...
Grimm's Brethren?
Details: Grimm walks back into his locker room after one last pre-match bathroom visit. He checks his fly for the third time to make sure it’s zipped and moves to sit down in one of the folding chairs set up around the room, but something catches his eye. An old piece of paper, yellowed and tattered around the edges, has been tacked to the wall since he was in here last. He probably wouldn’t have noticed normally, but the fact that it is being held up by a rusty dagger driven into the wall is hard to miss. Grimm takes a quick survey of the room to make sure he doesn’t have any uninvited guests, and after convincing himself that he is alone walks over to the message. The writing is in thick black ink that is smudged in some spots.
The very deep did rot – O Christ,
That ever this should be!
Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea!
About, about in reel and rout
The death fires danced at night,
The water, like a witch’s oils,
Burnt green and blue and white!
And some in dreams assured were
Of the Spirit that plagued us so;
Nine fathoms deep he had followed us
From the land of mist and snow.
And every tongue, through utter drought,
Was withered at the root;
We could not speak, no more than if
We had been choked with soot.
There was no question who had been here. Grimm hadn’t heard from the Brethren in a few days, but now that they had apparently started showing up at PCW events he knew he had to make the next move. It was time to find out what was going on once and for all. He would initiate contact on his terms as soon as he got home from Trauma. For now, though, it was time to show his contempt for his fellow PCW employees. He yanked the dagger out of the wall and shoved both it and the parchment into his travel bag before walking out, letting the door slam behind him.
Match One: Non-Title Singles Match
"The Enigma" Seth Sinn {Tag Team Champion} vs. Melissa Malone
Referee: Steve Shaw
Match Details: Malone made her entrance first, followed by Sinn. With both competitors in the ring, Shaw called for the bell to start the match. They hovered over the center of the ring, circling several times, feeling each other out. Sinn, showing Malone little respect, stopped to invite her to deliver the first blow going as far as closing his eyes. Malone let him have it with a roundhouse kick that took him off of his feet. Maybe that will change his tone on taking his opponent’s so lightly. The match was off and Malone had the upperhand until whipping Sinn to the ropes and telegraphing a backdrop. Sinn kicked her in the head and chest then came off the ropes again turning her inside out with a clothesline from hell. Shades from last week where we saw a similar flip and flop from her.
The match went to the outside of the ring, actually Malone did and Sinn followed, where a fist fight ensued. Malone was in control again quickly after gouging Sinn’s eyes and getting a jawbreaker on the floor. Leaving Sinn on the ringside mats, Malone went to the ring apron and used the middle rope for a springboard moonsault on the outside. Unfortunately for Malone, all she found was the thin padding, if you can call it that. Sinn was back up and on the attack tossing her hard against the crowd barrier to the gasp of the fans and then into the ring under the bottom rope.
Sinn followed her in and got off a few power moves after measuring her up and wiping her out with a spear. A whip to the ropes proceeded a tingling spine buster from Sinn. Malone was then slammed hard against the turnbuckle and bounced off of the mat with a belly-to-back release. Sinn hurled Malone up for a power bomb aimed at the top turnbuckle and got a hurricanranna for his efforts. Malone followed it up with a clubbing and the perfect execution of the Sweet Dream. A lateral press and Shaw was down to count, but the bell rang after one. Shaw consulted with the timekeeper and called the match a draw at the eight-minute time limit of this particular match.
Winner
As Malone argues with the referee on one side of the ring, the Byrd and Tony Brass slide in on the other side of the ring and go to work on Sinn with a set of matching steel chairs. The assault is short lived, but effective, as Lantlas rushes to the ring chasing off the challengers at Game Over. The feed cut to a commercial break as Lantlas helped his partner to his feet.
Match Two: Non-Title Singles Match
Lantlas {Tag Team Champion} vs. Quinn Masters
Referee: Eddie Lane
Match Details: Masters was out first and hyped the crowd before Lantlas made his entrance. Something like the blink of an eye, as the bell was still ringing, Lantlas thrust his knuckles into Masters’ throat and then dropped the choking man with a flying forearm off of the ropes. Masters was picked up and hoisted onto Lantlas’ shoulder for the Flame of the West and then frog splashed effortlessly. The Elvish Tale brought the end of the match as, for the second week in a row, Masters was gazing into the rafters for a three-count.
Winner
Backstage Bump
Details: (The camera followed Lantlas backstage as he celebrated his most recent victory. Just past the curtain a group of fellow superstars, including his partner, were there to congratulate him. Not paying attention and still in motion toward his locker room he accidentally ran into Johnny Vivacious as he turned around.)
Johnny Vivacious: Congratulations dwarf.
(Clearly Vivacious’ knowledge of fantasy species isn’t as honed as his knowledge of foul language and wrestling maneuvers.)
Johnny Vivacious: So you beat a f*ckin’ has been; good for you. If you want a real g*ddamned match, how about you and your partner team against me and that lousy ass has been next week.
(Lantlas remains silent choosing only to nod which enrages Vivacious.)
Johnny Vivacious: You know what pointy ears? How about I just whoop the shit out of you and your sidekick myself? I hardly need Quinn Masters to beat the likes of either of you.
(Vivacious shoves through both Lantlas and Seth Sinn and heads towards the arena entrance.)
Club Vivacious
Details: (On the entrance stage of the Pure Class Arena, the renovated Club Vivacious set is open for business. A lot of work has gone into recreating and modifying the set. A backdrop, with full service liquor cabinet is positioned across the stage, blocking the view of the curtain. The bar is a mahogany-planked top with spill-rail and four taps. Three solid red pleather, swivel Cucina bar stools across the front. Customary, the PCW-Tron lights up with a humming buzz to display the neon “CLUB V” replica.)
Mike Williams: I like this new set!
Jerry Andrews: He’s bragged about a huge surprise all week.
Mike Williams: I seriously doubt that the set is the surprise Jerry.
Jerry Andrews: For some reason, I have to agree with you!
(It’s soon apparent why the backdrop is placed as so. The lights dim in the arena and the crowd rises to their feet. The clouds of smoke billow around the back drop, concentrated as such to make the multicolor beams from above cut through it, an awesome club effect that just wasn’t pulled off effectively with the original set.)
“Here’s another one! Vivacious edition muthaf*ckas! Rap and roll!”
(From the left side of the backdrop, the North American Champion rounds the set air jamming to the music. Ever so stylish in his usual edge; he’s sporting a pair of black leather loafers, worn blue jeans and a red and black crosshatch silk button up under a crimson velvet blazer.)
Jerry Andrews: At least he looks like a champion!
Mike Williams: You said it!
(As always his platinum blonde is on end, eyes are shielded behind the silver tinted lenses and cigarette is flapping to the badmouthing and thrashing of the crowd. The gold plate of the North American title reflects the light above as the belt rests on his right shoulder. On his left, the only not so commonplace article, a towel.)
Mike Williams: He is, by far, my absolute favorite.
Jerry Andrews: Besides Ace Anderson and Sean Hunter of course, right?
Mike Williams: Oh… hmm… I’ll get back to you on that.
(Vivacious steps out onto the ramp, the crowd a mixed reaction as some love to hate and others hate to love him. Observing his new establishment, he applauds and nods in approval before stepping to the bar and making requesting his usual as Get Back fades and the lights return to their normal volume of light. He shoots the drink just as quickly as he receives it, takes the belt from his shoulder and places it on the mahogany and then turns to the crowd with a grin.)
Johnny Vivacious: Who’s the f*ckin’ man? Huh! …
(With his left arm he presents the new set to the crowd, as any proud host would then drops his cigarette onto the stage and stamps it out.)
Johnny Vivacious: Look at this will you! I’m the man dammit! I AM THE MAN!
Mike Williams: You’re the man Johnny!
Johnny Vivacious: I want to talk to you for a minute, I know I have an easy win coming to me later over some pathetic PCW veteran; the current number one contender. Like I said, an easy win plain and simple.
(The crowd shows great disrespect for the heinous comments.)
Johnny Vivacious: The Prophet just doesn’t concern me. Not really.
** YOU LOST TO A GIRL, YOU LOST TO A GIRL, YOU LOST TO A GIRL **
Mike Williams: How rude!
(He is silenced by the chant, uncharacteristically speechless for only a moment biting his bottom lip with a look of disdain, as he allows the fans to vent.)
Jerry Andrews: He can’t deny it Mike.
Johnny Vivacious: If you are quite finished dammit, I did not lose to a f*ckin’ girl. Well, I wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for that stank ass little bitch, Non Compos Mentis.
** NCM, NCM, NCM **
Johnny Vivacious: Cheer for him all that you want. Maybe he will beat one of your asses later tonight. Seems he’s in the habit of beating you people up, but by all means, continue to cheer for him.
Mike Williams: NCM can’t deny that!
Johnny Vivacious: I’m sorry…
(He comes halfway down the ramp, focused on a fan in the front row.)
Johnny Vivacious: …was I talking while you were?
(Vivacious shoves the fan and both companions on each side, knocking his glasses off of his head, then takes a step back as all three jump at him, but are unable to touch him.)
Johnny Vivacious: I mean, com’on, there’s lights, cameras… my new establishment up there with a neon sign… I have this clip on microphone… f*ck me, what an @sshole!
(He turns to go back up the ramp, but hesitates and turns his attention back to his troublesome trio.)
Johnny Vivacious: I mean I’m not going to come out to where you work and flick boogers in the fry batter.
Jerry Andrews: Funny, sounds exactly like something one Johnny V might do.
Mike Williams: HAH! That’s great!
Johnny Vivacious: Sit the f*ck down and shut the hell up!
(He heads back up the ramp wiping his brow with the towel on his left shoulder. At the top of the ramp he takes the towel from his shoulder and turns back to the crowd looking down at it.)
Johnny Vivacious: You know I brought this out here for a reason actually. In case you were wondering.
Jerry Andrews: Yeah, what’s the story with the towel?
Johnny Vivacious: See, at Game Over I am forced once again to get in the ring with that "N"ot so "C"lean "M"uthaf*cka.
** NCM, NCM, NCM **
Johnny Vivacious: Congratulations! Dumb asses.
Jerry Andrews: And he wonders why he is hated.
Mike Williams: Actually Jerry, I don't think he cares.
Johnny Vivacious: Anyway, I’m inviting NCM this time to use this towel. That’s right, put it in the hands of someone that you trust you filthy bastard.
Jerry Andrews: What the hell is he talking about?
Johnny Vivacious: At Game Over, when I beat you into a cruddy carcass and you just can’t take anymore, hope that whomever it is you put your trust in does you a f*ckin’ favor and throws that sum’bitch in!
Jerry Andrews: Whoa!
Mike Williams: Does NCM have any friends?
Jerry Andrews: Does Johnny Vivacious have any friends?
Mike Williams: I’ll do it! I’ll be Johnny’s towel-man!
(He flings the towel back over his shoulder, his toothy grin draws to an arrogant smirk.)
Johnny Vivacious: I have already picked my choice to be in my corner. Yes I have!
Mike Williams: Here it comes! This has to be the surprise he’s been talking about all week!
Johnny Vivacious: See, last week it took FIVE women to satisfy my… itch!
Mike Williams: The New York Euphoria was here last week with him!
Johnny Vivacious: This week, there is one.
Jerry Andrews: One?!
Mike Williams: Did he say one woman could do what those five last week…
Johnny Vivacious: One woman who has promised to stand by me during my upcoming match with Prophet tonight, but more than that, she’s promised that for NO reason whatsoever, will she toss that f*ckin’ towel into the ring at Game Over. That is... if ...NCM has the guts to accept the challenge.
“You don't know, You don't really know me at all!”
(The crowd explodes as the lights flicker to the scream of a guitar. Smoke once again billows from behind the backdrop, but it’s no secret as to who is about to show.)
Mike Williams: IT’S CHRISSY JOHNSON!
(The former Tag Team Champion comes around the right side of the backdrop a bit taken by the crowds mixed reaction. Some supporting her return and others are disgusted in her alliance with the resident rule-breaker.)
Jerry Andrews: That’s definitely Chrissy Johnson!
(Suited to match her new companion, as he must obviously see to his women, in strapped Stilettos, chino micro-check capri-pants and a silk, kir shirt with gold beaded trim under a matching chino two-button micro-check jacket with a microphone clipped to the notched collar. She joins Vivacious at the top of the ramp. He winks at her and leans to accept a peck on his right cheek. The music and the crowd fades as the two elevator eye one another.)
Johnny Vivacious: You’re looking good for a retiree.
Chrissy Johnson: Now, before we going any farther, Johnny dear, I just have a few things to get off my chest.
(Vivacious, being the “thinker” that he is, attempts to help her remove her jacket and top, getting a stern look for his efforts.)
** TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! **
Johnny Vivacious: Oh! I thought you meant…
Chrissy Johnson: …shut up and get me a drink.
Johnny Vivacious: Okay good-lookin’, just what is it I can get for you?
Chrissy Johnson: Chocolate Martini would be great… …if you don't mind.
(He turns to the bar while she turns her attention to the sold-out Pure Class Arena, raging a mixed reaction for the returning diva.)
Chrissy Johnson: Now, don't feel quite so surprised to see me standing in front of you tonight.
Mike Williams: I’ll admit, I’m delightfully surprised!
Chrissy Johnson: I mean, I never said that I was leaving permanently… …just until something came together.
Jerry Andrews: I’m sure we don’t need the details.
Mike Williams: Are you kidding me? Shut up Jerry!
Chrissy Johnson: Something like...
(She peeks up at Vivacious leaned over the bar waiting for the bartender to prepare the drinks.)
Chrissy Johnson: I don't know, like his fine ass on my doorstep. WOW, was I surprised…
(She fans herself with both hands as she turns back to the fans.)
Chrissy Johnson: You see, I have some unfinished business needing tended to…
Jerry Andrews: What is she talking about?
Chrissy Johnson: …and it all starts tonight.
Mike Williams: Well, it looks as if we might find out. Sometime tonight!
(Vivacious returns with the drinks. She turns to face him and he gestures to speak she nods approval.)
Johnny Vivacious: So, if I were to refer to you as my Anita Longerman, that would make me whom exactly?
(Chrissy takes her drink and pulls him close with her free hand.)
Chrissy Johnson: That would make you my Major Lee Hung baby.
(Vivacious raises both eyebrows as they make a splashing toast to a new union.)
Jerry Andrews: Oh my Gawd!
(They keep a grip on each other atop the stage, looking deeply into the eyes of one another.)
Johnny Vivacious: I’m one bad muthaf*cka!
Chrissy Johnson: I’m one bad ass bitch!
Mike Williams: Well, I guess that’s…
(Vivacious breaks the embrace momentarily to look out into the crowd for the punch-line.)
Johnny Vivacious: …and that’s just too f*ckin’ bad for each…
Chrissy Johnson: …and every…
Johnson/Vivacious: …one of you!
Mike Williams: Yeah, something like tha…
(They shoot their drinks and Vivacious chases Chrissy’s with his tongue giving her a taste of his Vodka, no doubt, before he turns back to the crowd.)
Jerry Andrews: OH! That’s a married man!
Mike Williams: I don’t think that bothers either one of them.
Johnny Vivacious: Remember to support single moms everywhere and visit your local titty bar! Let’s get out of here!
(She turns to go up the ramp and he snaps her across the ass with the towel then follows closely behind in a teasing game of tag.)
Jerry Andrews: ** That **, ladies and gentlemen, is our North American Champion.
Mike Williams: I’ve decided! After that, Ace Anderson doesn’t hold a candle to Johnny V. Besides, I’ve never thought too highly of Sean Hunter anyway. To answer your question from earlier Jerry.
(Vivacious snatches the North American title belt up off of the bar and turns to the crowd throwing it high above his head clinched tightly in the grip of his right hand. She applauds standing to his left as he gives a very contemptuous answer to the chorus of boos.)
Jerry Andrews: That is definitely not the universal sign for peace Mike!
Mike Williams: No, looks more like a sentimental “FU” to well, anyone watching.
Jerry Andrews: Except you of course.
Mike Williams: You know Jerry, you catch on rather quickly.
(They make their way around the right side of the backdrop, hand in hand, as the feed cuts to a commercial.)
