(The camera opens up in a locker room area where Wolverine is accompanied by Mr. Reaves and Boomer Karr. Wolvie is wearing nothing but his tights.)
Mr. Reaves: Sorry to do it this way Wolvie, it just needs to be done to answer all the questions.
(Wolvie stands on a scale and looks down with a depressed look on his face.)
Mr. Reaves: You are 232 lbs... that is 3 pounds overweight. sorry Wolvie, but you must forfeit the belt.
Wolvie: NO!!!! I'll do anything... I'LL CUT IT OFF!!! THAT'S 2 LBS. RIGHT THERE!!!
Mr. Reaves: Sorry but you have a big night ahead of you. Remember???
Wolvie: Oh yeah, here have my belt, I DON'T NEED IT!!!
Mr. Reaves: I knew you would see it my way. Tonight will make up for it in the end...
(Reaves and Boomer leave the locker room area and a tear rolls down Wolvie's face as the camera fades back into the arena.)
Mike Ixnay: Ladies and gentlemen, as you just saw, Wolverine has just given up the World CruiserWeight Title due to the weight limit, but what was that talk all about back there?
Bobby Strainin: I don't know, but Reaves and Boomer has soome s--- eating grins on thier faces. I wonder what they have planned...

Mike Ixnay: Oh my god, Steeler just stole this one right out from under Slasha dn the two men are having some words with each other right now and HERE COMES THE ALLIANCE OF CHANCE!!!
Bobby Strainin: Fans, this one could get hostile.
Mike Ixnay: I'll say, Grant is having to restrain Slash and the rest of The Allince is having to hold back Steeler. I am not sure if the AoC is really wanting either of these men in thier group that bad to put up with this crap.
Bobby Strainin: Slash needs to get a life is what I say...
Mike Ixnay: Ladies and gentlemen, last night you saw Death Valley win the World Tag Team Titles under VERY questionable circumstances. Steeler got involved to try and make Slash drop the ball, but wound up helping him get the winning pinfall. I don't think that Steeler's head is in the right place if he was trying to cost his stablemate or whatever the match. Oh well, we also witnessed the revival of The Powers That Be with the refoerming of the Tag Team of the Year as voted by the NEW fans... The Lady Killers!

I appreciate what you did for me so much, and respect you so much... not only as a firend, but as a profesional, to give you a rematch this Friday for this belt. Do you accept?
Dutch Daon: All my MetalHeads out there... my fans of TRUE metal out there, if you think that I should get a rematch this Friday, give Wylde the mighty Hail!!!

Dutch Daon: I think the fans have spoken...

(Ares makes his entrance with Boomer as "Live And Let Die" by G'N R plays.)
Mike Ixnay: Indeed, he is one of the main men in line for the World Title... but the headline match for Carnage Bowl right now, is Ares v. Grendel.
Bobby Strainin: And Matt Foster, he is looking ready for tonight. Danes has already walked off with gold, Matt could get his first title here tonight!!!
(Matt gets on the mic.)
Matt Foster: Ares, Boomer, you two used to be a big deal... USED TO BE! You better get a good look right now at the three Ladykillers before your eyes, because you will not only be witnessing the three studliest grapplers in this busines... can I get some back-up from the fans here?

(commercial)
Mike Ixnay: Welcome back fans and... what is that altar that was brought out all about?
Bobby Strainin: I dunno, but I don't like this...
("for Whom the bells Toll" by Metallica plays as a tall man in shrouds is being accompanied to the altar by another, SHORTER man in shrouds and a flock of "druids". A clap of thunder ignites the arena with a cloud of anticipation... maybe even fear falling upon the crowd, as the tall, cloaked man sits at the altar in the runway.)
Man: NEW, the place that used to be home for so long... my children, I have returned, and with a vengence. YOu have all lived in piece for far too long since my abscence. I am back to spread Havoc, and Darkness upon the land that is the NEW, and leave the Carnage of all who oppose me in my wake...
(the crowd is in complete silence as this man speaks.)
Man: I have once felt the Extreme and Tag gold around my waist, but that was another time... I am back to show you all what destruction, and darkness is all about. Marcotte once felt my wrath as he was pinned up to this very altar in front of a housecrowd, just to set the example. Prepare for the dark cloud that will soon drift over you...
(A bolt of lightning strikes the altar as the arena goes black. The fans go wild, and a few moments later, the lights go back on, and the altar, the druids, and the mysterious man is gone.)
Mike Ixnay: What a night this has been... And now, it is time for the main event as we go to the ring...
(The "stockholders of the NEW" (just a bunch of old men in suits and ties, doesn't matter... they are just the people, who combined, carry 51% of the stock...the other 49% being held by Mr. Reaves) enter to sit at ringside as Warlock Hall enters the ring.)
Mike Ixnay: There have been a lot of sweeping changes in NEW Wrestling ever since Reaves made the company public. He is still chief executive officer, but with the old boys' club that owns the stock, he could be at their mercy at any time.
(Reaves makes his entrance with Commish Boomer in tow to a chorus of boos.)
Mr. Reaves: It's time to get this show on the road... Warlock, come on down!!!
(Hall enters to a lukewarm reception... he hasn't done anything to piss off the fans, but they know he's worthless anyhow.)
Mike Ixnay: Warlock hasn't been too popular since letting the Hall of Fame ceremony get out of control this weekend... you know how much money was put into that production? Only to have 'The Grifter' Dante Edmonds waltz in and wreck the place... I haven't seen so many cake frosting stains and popped balloons in my life... and I've been to a lot of crazy children's birthday parties...
Mr. Reaves: And his opponment... from Death Valley!!! He stands tall at 6 foot 3, and weighs 232 lbs. give a warm welcome, to the only man in NEW history to hold all of the company's titles...
Mike Ixnay: Oh no, it had better not be...
Mr. Reaves: He's the people's champion, and your rolemodel.... WOLVIE!!!!
Bobby Strainin: YEAH!!! WOO HOO!!!
Mike Ixnay: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This is terrible!!!
Bobby Strainin: Apparently the fans like it!!!
Mike Ixnay: I can't believe it...

Wolvie is counting...1...2..kickout!!! Wolvie pcks up Warlock and he is sending him back out the door, and they are haded back to the men's room. Wolvie slams Warlock into the doorway, and now he's dragging him into the room... he's checking the stalls...
Wolvie: Anyone in there?
Wolvie busts into the stall, and REFEREE MILLS LANE IS MASTURBATING!!!
Mills Lane: Hey, let's get it on!!!
Wolvie: Hey warlock, look at this!!!
Warlock is holding himself up by Wolvie's shoulders...
Warlock: Hey man, you may want to use some baby lotion on that...
Wolvie slams his head into the wall!!!
Mills Lane: Hey, get out of here!!!
Wolverine is whipping Warlock to the opposite wall, and into the sink... Wolvie shoves his head into the sink, and turns on the water!!!
Wolvie: Is that refreshing?
Warlock: (gargling) Wha???
Wolvie is putting him in the DDT posittion, and he is dragging him back out of the room. Wolvie is going into the halls, and...THE PINKY PULL!!! Warlock is dazed!!! Warlock is down to one knee, and Wolvie is doing a stepover, and WARLOCK IS BITING WOLVIE'S ASS!!! Wolvie is holding his ass and Warlock with a bulldog!!!

Wolvie just pulled out Warlock's tights, and he shoves a dildo up Warlock's ass!!! Wolvie is shoving it in and out!!!

Wolvie leaves the dildo in his arse, and he pulls the tights back up and he shoves him into the women's room... Wolvie is searching through a box of Stunnin Steve' sold props now in the storage room...
Wolvie: Hey Warlock, I found something that might fit you nicely!!!

Mills Lane: Ah f---, lost count....18....19....20!!!! Wolvie is yor winner!!!
(bell rings and the fans go wild)
Reaves, Boomer, and Wolvie are all standing in the ring celebrating the reins of power being back in their hands. The fans are booing as the corporate triumverate embrace one another. Mr. Reaves does a speech about how it is his way and no other way from now on, he has the stockholders, the championship comittee, and "all the support of the fans" (big boo to that!) to help run this company. And as far as anyone trying to undermine his authority? It will never, ever, happen again!
Warlock Hall: There's just one thing, Reaves...
(Warlock chokes out to the mic...)
Warlock Hall: There is one decision I approved as President that you can't counteract... ask the stockholders, and ask the fans... I'm sure they'll approve.
Mr. Reaves: What else can you do, Hall? Boomer is acting commish! Wolvie is presiding over all internal affairs, and I OWN this joint!
Warlock Hall: But who's heading up the championship comittee, Reaves? Who has to pass all the booking decisions to make sure you don't endanger the company? To make sure you don't you don't taint the good name of the belts?
Mr. Reaves: Well, the VP has that power, and it can, of course, be delegated to a comitte chairman...
Warlock Hall: Yes! Championship comittee chairman... Warlock Hall!
(The fans cheer.)
Wolvie: One problem, Hall... I don't have a VP.
Warlock Hall: "No, you're right... but ex-President Warlock Hall did! I signed the agreement just before I walked that aisle tonight... my last executive decision, if you will. I can't change the fact that Wolvie is the new Prez... but you can't stop the most popular man in NEW history... NEW's Wrestler of the Year... from doing his thing as the new VP!
(The fans begin to cheer.)
Mr. Reaves: Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Warlock Hall: Let's hear it for the new sherrif in town!
(All the stockholders stand up and look to the aisle. A spotlight hits the curtian, and the stockholders begin to applaud. "We Will Rock You" by Queen begins blaring on the speakers. Wearing "a $500 shirt and pants straight off the Paris runway models" (according to the broadcaster), Des appears from behind the curtain. The fans POP (like, the hugest pop since the beginning of time). The stockholders sit down, the fans calm down, Warlock his rolling on the floor laughing his ass of, and the unholy three in the ring are leaning in for a closer listen as Des pulls out a mic.)
Des: Well, well, well... if it isn't my three oldest nearest and dearest friends... it's funny what this business does to ya, isn't it... Wolvie? Oh, and Boomer, buddy, I remember when we used to ride that Highway together... but that was a lifetime ago. As for you, Mr. Reaves, it is going to be a pleasure getting checks from you in the mail each week. I'm sure you'll have just as good a time in signing them!
Reaves (nervous): Well, VP Des, eh? That's great! You're an honest guy, a team player....
Boomer (shit-eating grin): Yeah, bro, we've had some great times together!
Wolvie: You know I'm your #1 fan!
Des: That's fine and dandy, then I'm sure you won't mind me putting Warlock in charge of some odd jobs as it pertains to the championship comittee.
Wolvie: That's great! The wisdom of Solomon, this man has...
Boomer: I'm glad you're still good to go, Des, especially after that unfortunate incident at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
Des: Funny you should mention that... Dante Edmonds was a rather random attendee at that invitation-only event... it's almost as if somebody set it up to make me... and therefore Warlock... look bad.
Mr. Reaves: Well, I wouldn't really know, Des... the only contact I've ever had with the Grifter was earlier this evening when I finalized... THE DEAL.
Des: What deal?
Mr. Reaves: The deal that is bringing the NEW a true superstar... not some old retired has-been with a bum knee and a no-talent wife...
Boomer: And I'm sure he's not talking about your wife, Des...
Wolvie: I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN! I am NOT President Clinton...
Mr. Reaves: Ladies and gentlemen, coming to NEW Wrestling... Dante Edmonds!
(The fans boo as a higlight clip of the Hall of Fame disaster plays on the screen. The clip suddenly cuts off, and the Powers that Be appear on the screen.)
Grendel: Hey man, you know who we are don't ya?
Stunnin Steve: I think they barely got past the third grade. Tell em G!
Grendel: Well boys, we ARE The Powers THat Be here in the NEW. you all made one big mistake, because the balance of power has been shifted, and from here on in, NEW Wrestling is going to be a level playing field... and the real test will be at Carnage Bowl '99 as I take on Ares in teh Main Event. Ares, tonight was a sample of what we will do to you in (looking at his watch) under three weeks. Ares, if I were you, I'd take all the steroids I could by then, because The Powers are gonna f--- you up. See ya sugar!
Stunnin Steve: Cuz you know that the Powers That Be... and the new VP Des...are gonna rock ya!
(The monitor fades out as the unholy three kick the ring ropes and curse Stunnin' Steve. Warlock Hall is sharing drinks with the stockholders. And Des is pointing to the crowd and clapping his hands as Queen's "We Will Rock You" blare on the speakers. Meanwhile, the monitor cuts in and out on where the highlight tape was cut off... it is a hazy picture, but clearly a close-up of a deranged pair of eyes... belonging to the partycrasher, Dante Edmonds.
