It’s a regular Saturday afternoon. Eddie, Jordan and Tommy are hanging out in Jordan’s basement. His parents are home, but the kids are 12-years old and usually pretty well-behaved, so no one is watching them. Someone probably should be though because, despite all of the “DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME” messages they’ve seen over the years, the three boys are wrestling with one another. It’s all harmless fun right now but, as everyone knows, it only takes a single botched piledriver to seriously injure someone. And that’s the bottom line.
Jordan kicks Tommy in the stomach. Eddie runs at both kids, but Jordan pushes him away and Eddie falls to the floor. Jordan then grabs Tommy in a double underhook position.
Jordan: “I’m Rick Majors and you’re about to get the Major Impact!”
Eddie: “Wait... why would you want to be Rick Majors?”
Jordan stops and he looks over at Eddie.
Jordan: “Because he’s cool.”
Tommy takes advantage of the distraction and he breaks free of Jordan’s clutches. He then runs and clotheslines Jordan hard. Jordan falls backwards and his head hits the floor.
Tommy: “Ha! You suck just like Rick Majors!”
While Tommy continues to taunt his fallen friend, Jordan stays down on the floor, holding the back of his head. He feels like crying, but he does whatever he can to hold back the tears.
Tommy drops an elbow on him.
Eddie: “Hey... wait.... I think he’s really hurt.”
Tommy stands up and he looks down at Jordan.
Tommy: “Come on man, get up.”
Jordan slowly rolls over onto his stomach and he coughs a few times before pushing himself up to his knees.
Eddie: “You okay man?”
Jordan slowly gets to his feet.
Jordan: “Yeah, I think so.”
Eddie: “Good.”
The two boys clothesline him back down to the floor.
A little while later the kids are sitting in the backyard eating peanut butter sandwiches with the crusts cut off and drinking Sunny D, as children are apt to do. They had a brief scare a few minutes ago when they thought Jordan’s mom didn’t have any Sunny D in the fridge but, thankfully, she pushed the OJ, cola and purple stuff out of the way and found some. That meant their afternoon was saved.
Tommy: “Don’t think I forgot about how you said Rick Majors was cool.”
Joseph sighed. He wished these two weren’t even here. All he wanted to do today was sit in his room, eat pizza pockets and play video games, but his mom told him he needed to be active and have some friends over, so now he found himself in the backyard with Tommy, Eddie and a big headache.
At least the Sunny D was good.
Joseph: “He IS cool.”
Eddie: “Tommy’s right, Joe. He sucks.”
Joseph: “Na uh! He’s done all kinds of cool stuff. I was reading about him yesterday and I watched some videos online and...”
Tommy: “Were they in colour? Did they have colour TV when he was good?”
Joseph: “Yeah! It wasn’t that long ago!”
Eddie: “I don’t care about some guy who might have won a match or two back when my dad was a kid.”
Joseph: “It was more than one or two matches! He won like all kinds of belts and stuff before he was in PCW.”
Tommy: “So what? That doesn’t mean anything.”
Eddie: “Yeah, he sucks now. And he’s boring.”
Tommy: “Who cares if he won something a hundred years ago.”
Joseph: “It was like five years ago!”
Tommy: “So what? He hasn’t done anything good since we were babies.”
Joseph: “He’s won a bunch of matches lately, plus he’s number one contender for the North American title!”
Tommy: “No he’s not! No one even has the North American title right now. You’re stupid. Do you even watch wrestling?”
Eddie: “Yeah, come on Joseph, you’re being dumb. And you smell.”
Joseph: “You just watch, he’s totally gonna beat Showtime and win the tournament too!”
Eddie: “No way can he beat Showtime!”
Tommy: “And he’s not gonna win that battle royal either. Look, watch this.”
Tommy holds up his cell phone. He plays a clip from Deadly Intentions 3.
(Majors rolls over to a corner and pulls himself up, but Grimm is on the move to go after him. Majors quickly sees this and as Grimm comes in, Majors lifts himself up and catches Grimm with two boots to the face. Grimm stumbles forward, and as he turns back around to look at Majors, Majors grabs him and tosses him over the top rope.
Grimm holds onto the ropes, but it appears he's eliminated and Majors begin to celebrate as he drops to his knees in the center of the ring. Majors quickly gets up though and goes climbs the turnbuckle farthest away from where Grimm was tossed.)
Al Laiman: I'd be damned. The new guy won it.
Jerry Andrews: Majors wins! Majors wins!
Al Laiman: Wait! The referees are saying no on the outside. Grimm is still holding on to the ropes, and only one foot landed on the arena floor.
(Grimm skins the cat and gets himself back into the ring, and as Majors is celebrating in the corner, Grimm runs over and launches him over the top rope. Majors hits the arena floor with a hard thud.)
Mark Long: Rick Majors has been eliminated. The winner of this match, and new number-one contender to the World Championship...GRIMM!
(“Winter Shaker” by Woverhand begins to kick in and Grimm climbs the turnbuckle that he just launched Majors over.)
Jerry Andrews: Grimm wins the Deadly Rumble! Grimm will go on to face Sean Rhodes at Collusion Course 3!
(On the outside of the ring, Rick Majors is on his knees, the look of complete dejection on his face. Roberto Garcia comes over to Rick and explains what had happened. As Grimm celebrates, a replay of Rick's failed elimination of Grimm is shown, and it clearly shows only one of Grimm's feet hit the floor. Rick sighs in frustration and gets up and begins walking to the back, and as he does the feed refocuses on Grimm in the ring standing tall.)
Tommy: “The guy even sucks at battle royals. He was so confused.”
Eddie: “What an old man! He was probably looking for his dentures!”
Tommy: “Yeah, or directions to the post office so he could buy stamps to mail letters!”
Eddie: “Ha ha! Yeah!”
Tommy: “Look at how stupid he looked when he thought he won and then he got thrown out like garbage. HAHAHAHAHA!”
Joseph: “But he eliminated Showtime right before that clip started! I watched that yesterday! He’s better than Showtime. Remember the time Showtime ran away from him?”
Tommy and Eddie start laughing.
Tommy: “You’re dumb.”
Eddie: “Yeah. Why do you even remember all of this junk? No one needs to remember this much stuff about old things that don’t matter.”
Tommy: “Yeah, like Majors being number one contender? No one remembers that.”
Joseph: “But it’s not fair! He’s number one contender but he’s had to fight Showtime twice in a row! And he might have to be in two matches on Trauma! It’s not fair.”
Eddie: “Now you’re sounding like Rick Majors, whining all the time.”
Tommy now grabs Joseph’s Sunny D and he chugs it.
Tommy: “And now you’re acting like Rick Majors, losing everything you have!”
Tommy and Eddie laugh even louder this time.
Joseph’s Mom: “Boys! Come inside! I made popcorn!”
Putting their very serious wrestling debate aside for a few moments, the three boys scramble into the house. Joseph trips on one of the steps leading into the house and he falls down. Eddie and Tommy laugh.
Joseph: “No fair! Tommy tripped me! Mom!!!”
Jordan kicks Tommy in the stomach. Eddie runs at both kids, but Jordan pushes him away and Eddie falls to the floor. Jordan then grabs Tommy in a double underhook position.
