Main Event
Lex Hart vs. Perfect Jack

The camera appears outside what looks like to be a wooden panelled room; the camera zooms in on a tiny window situated on the only entry to the room. The camera struggles to focus on anything in the room as the room is full of steam. The door to the room then opens and the camera begins to enter, a fuzzy shape can be seen to the side of the room. A voice then emerges from the beyond the mist.

??: Well it seems I have company. Come forward I won’t bite, well unless you want me to that is, well unless you want me too that is in which case I will chow down like the count himself.

The camera moves closer to where the shape is waiting until the features of the man can be made out. The man has a large muscular physique with long black curly hair; a thick carpet of hair covers his chest. The man seems to be only wearing a small towel around his waist.

??: Come come, take a seat. Enjoy the steam as it clears away life’s dirt and grime. The names big Al Lustley by the way, most people however no me by my stage name The Lovetongue Superman. I don’t think I need to explain how I got that name, let’s just say the tongue is by far the greatest muscle in Big Al’s body.

Big Al: What you’ve never heard of me? I guess these are stranger shores, maybe what they say in Hollywood about you brits is true and it is all cucumber sandwiches and tea parties. Big Al may just have to bring a hint of sin to your life’s.

Britain may want to lock away its daughters and cover its children’s eyes because the Lovetongue has arrived. The nine time winner of the prestigious golden cockerel award, lead role in many AVN nominated features those things are worth more than the Oscars. You just have to look at at my repertoire to see what i am capable of, from love hungry pizza boy to Sexually frustrated Harvard politics professor. In every role i always deliver the goods and that’s not about to change.6WF the most adaptable man on earth has showed his face and his name is Big Al Lustley.

The doctor is here to administer his own brand of medicine.

Al then stands up and begins to walk away from the camera as the towel around his waist falls to the ground .Al then disappears into the mist as the scene fades.

*Uryu walks up and looks at the match card, spots James McManus' opponent and bursts out laughing*

Uryu: Big Al Lustley! haha! I can get so much fun out of this and I bet James will enjoy the jokes at his expense, with a moo moo here and a moo moo there. In all seriousness however, James you have seen how i can take damage and come back with my lightning speed, do you think that you can do better? Fanatic thought he beat me with his superior strength and he ended up giving me the Split Second I needed to beat him.

Uryu: Cow-boy, if you want a piece of me then I am going to suggest this. Chaos, me and you in a match of your choosing. I need the test and besides, if I chose the match you would just moan ,b****h and moo at everyone saying "It wasn't fair, he cheated!! I WANT MY CHAOS, I WANT MY MOMMY!!"

*Uryu smiles*

Uryu: I will be watching your losing effort to Big Al Lustley, oh and how do I know you will lose? Simple, You are a bovine and he is gonna tip you over and leave you helpless. I might even get a closer look as I do need to scout my future opponents. I await your answer.

*Uryu walks up to the roof*

The camera cuts to Mcmanus' locker room. the camera shows Mcmanus sitting in the corner of the room.

JM-Im sure you think i dont hear what you say Urine. I could hear everything you were saying. And I mean Everything.
Like right now I know you are walking to the roof. I know you are going up that corridor,I know you are now walking up the stairs.

Camera cuts to Uryu walking up the stairs,the lights begin flickering and the sounds of screams can be heard,which are quite cleraly not coming from Uryu. As Uryu reaches the top of the stairs and opens the door to go on the roof. He walks through the door and sees an ephiagy of himself burning on a bonfire.

JM-I hope you like our little surprise Urine,Your worse nightmare,your worse moment,played out before you once again.

Mcmanus Pauses for a moment before standing up from the bench where he has been sitting.Jenny comes though the door folllowed by The Fanatic.

JM-So who is my match this week against

J-Some bloke called Big Al Lustley.

JM-Who the hell is this bloke?

F-Some failed porn star.

JM-Well he obviously wasnt big enough was he.

Mcmanus,Jenny and the Fanatic all begin laughing.Until Mcmanus
stops

JM-Mr Lustley let me introduce my self Iam the Future,Perfection Personified,The British Cruiserweight champion,James Mcmanus. If you need to know anything about me just watch my last two matches back. I broke two peoples legs in the space of two days. Whats to say to you won't be the third. a mr urine seems to like you I will hurt you like everyone else he has paired himself with.
So if you are man enough step in the ring see you monday,Small Al Lustley

*a finger click is heard as the main focus switches from McManus' room to the roof where Uryu stands next to the ephigy smiling, applauding*

Uryu: Bravo James, bravo you get a B- in your art project but you know that this cannot scare me because whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. I survived being set on fire and now you try and use some of your masters trickery to scare me?

Uryu: I know him very well and what you and Fanatic do is just pathetic! heck, I think Rasta pulls off better trickery than you. Now I suggest you pick out your match stipulation for our potential match as after i'm done with you, a simple, standard one on one match won't fit with the punishment I want to dish out to your leader. I am going to give you a taster of what he is going to get, so pick something where inflicting pain is a certainty.

*Uryu starts walking around the edge of the fire, his boots stepping on its edges*

Uryu: I'm only going to say this once, send your master to deal with me instead of you bi***es!

Longinus has just seen the match card and is walking backstage when he is approached by Clarissa coming from the opposite direction with her ever faithful camera man.

C "Can I get a few words with you Longinus?"

L "Of course Clarissa, I'm always available for the fans."

C "I bet that felt good, finally getting one over on Rapture at Lockdown this past week."

L "It was one of my favourite moments so far. It was brilliant to finally get my hands on that scrawny traitor and hit him with the Spear of Longinus. But that is nothing compared to what I have planned. That was just a taster, a warm up to what I'm going to do to him."

C "Oooh, do tell Longinus. What do you have planned for your tag team match at Shutdown?"

L "Who said anything about Shutdown? I might not wait until the match. In fact, he might not even make it to the match"

*someone coughs from behind*

Longinus spins around and sees Rapture standing there with a disbelieving look on his face.

“I couldn’t help but overhear your joyous words old friend; you really are so easily pleased. You manage to hit your pathetic finisher and you now walk backstage like you are some sort of god. That infuriates me as the only person with the right to walk these corridors and brag about their greatness is the great lord, Hero. “

“You can stand there all smug and feeling happy for yourself all you want Longinus but the time will come when you feel the full wrath of the Rapture. I am counting down the days to Chaos and the moment where I will stand over your motionless body looking down and feeling nothing but pity. This didn’t need to happen Longinus, all you had to do was take the offer that Hero gave you and treasure it. You may have won the battle friend, but the war is far from over.”

Clarissa at this point slowly slides away off screen as the two men go nose to nose. Longinus’s anger is clearly visible before Rapture takes a step back and begins to talk again .

“I love this, look at you. You can’t even look at me without getting angry and like I said before that anger will only become a burden and I will take advantage. I will make you suffer for all your sins because the matter of the fact Longinus, Rapture is a new beginning and I intend to make this one without you.”

Rapture manically laughs before turning round and walking off down the corridor.

The scene cuts back to the room of Mcmanus's changing room where Mcmanus,Jenny and The Fanatic are seen sitting around a Moniter

JM-So Urine you want me to pick a potential match Stipulation for our possible match.....................................How about our match goes over ten 3 minute rounds with the ways to win being 2 falls or 1 knockout proper british wrestling

The fanatic leans over to Mcmanus and whisper in his ear

JM-good idea Fanatic ,So unlike a normal british rules match we take out the public warnings system so its no DQ's. That way what ever I do to you is completely legal. I can wrap this steel chair round your leg Jump off the top rope and smash your leg to millons of pieces just like i did to Mr Blade Last week and what I did to Anderson Tuesday

The fanatic is seen nodding as Mcmanus says this

JM-If You some how manage to beat me you will get your one on one match with Chaos,But dont count on beating me because I dont plan on losing. I Look forward to hearing your response

Mcmanus Picks up his British Cruiserweight title, takes the hand of Jenny and walks out of the Locker room followed by The fanatic who slams the door shut

The tron turns on and backstage Edan Ekram is saw sitting on a bench looking down the camera.

Edan: Thursday night probably wasn't the best way to show my appreciation to Jerome after the months of training he's helped me through. Whilst he was getting beat in the ring I got greedy, thought of the crowd reaction if I landed my move. The huge cheers as I senton bombed straight through Blue Dragon, demonstrating that I can take it to even the biggest guys in the company. I've already apologised to Jerome Dubois for not having his back and he was cool with it. He remembered when he was just starting out and he did anything possible to get himself noticed.

Thursday was alos particularly ugly due to a backstage altercation I found myself involved in with James Eagle and Scorpion. Now back on Next Gen James and I had a mutual agreement to look out for each other, but I'm afraid this may have to be terminated quicker than I first hoped if it's a case of James, Scorpion or I for the Freeweight Title. I feel that I've already proved myself to be a step ahead of these two by beating them both in the 6NG competition. A competition that lasted over a period of months- not just a one-off match.

I mentioned it last week, that the Freeweight Title is perfect for me. It's the opportunity I need to showcase all of my talents. That senton bomb on Lockdown was nothing compared to what I'd be prepared to do to get my hands on a title. Being tutored by a fantastic Champion like Jerome Dubois made me realise how much respect a championship belt can get you. It proves you're the best in your division and people look up to you.

Compare myself to the likes of James Eagle and The Scorpion. Firstly, Scorpion is a ridiculous name. You remind me more of... well I'm not quite sure, something that always relies heavily on someone else to protect him. In your case it's the orange-topped bitch Miss Jessica. Whilst her sharp-tongued approach seems to stun so many men into a dumb silence, she just sounds to me like someone that would appear in an MTV or ITV2 reality show. Now James. You know I think you're a good wrestler, and I have an issue with you thinking that you use your money to try and gain popularity or in this case, the title. If it comes down to you and me, forgot the cashbags and just bring your A game.

...Scorpion is backstage as he watches the video of Edan Ekram's Speech

S: Edan you will pay for what you have said about Miss Jessica the greatest Manager in 6WF history!!

Scor-peons cheer as crowd boo

S: not only that Edan your name means nothing around here , wining Next Gen means Nothing , YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PARASITE ! AND ARE NO MATCH FOR THE NEW NEW WORLD SUPERPOWER!!!

S: James ... Your Blinding people with your dirty money from seeing the truth
which will sting you and your so called career ... You will be punished James
... You will be STUNG! After all they say Karma is a bi*ch!

Scorpion walks out as the screen fades

*Uryu snaps his fingers again, laughing happily*

Uryu: Three no disqualification, 10 minute rounds, 1 knockout or 2 pinfalls to win? why dont we call this a Queensbury Rules Match?

*Uryu continues laughing*

Uryu: I accept these fun rules as this means I get to wrap some familiar friends around your skull but wait, don't you remember where I am from? I am from Nottingham, home to Robin Hood and more recently, Carl Froch. So if you are absolutely sure you want to take me on then I shall be at his gym, training to turn you purple due to continuous brusing!

-Edan is walking down the corridor with his Next Gen trophy when Clarissa approaches him.-

Clarissa: Have you seen what Scorpion's had to say in retaliation to your little speech?

Edan: No, but I assume it was probably something highly intelligent.

-Edan smirks as Clarissa shows him the video clip on her iPad.-

Edan: Really? You think Miss Jessica is the best manager 6wF has ever had; she probably only got some of her clients because she slept with them. She might be able to talk a good talk, but when it comes to actions a manager won't help you Scorpion. If Next Gen meant nothing then why was there a collection of rookies all fighting week in week out to try and win this?

-Edan holds up his trophy to the camera.-

Edan: You know as much as I do that winning that competition got me some recognition and put me a step ahead of the rest of you losers.

My name may not strike fear into those that see they're facing me on the show... Yet. But I'm making it my own personal mission to make sure that everyone around here soon knows that I can't be pushed around. The first way to do that is to cement my place in 6wF as a Champion, have my name written in the history books. When people look back in 12 months time they'll look at you- a poor excuse for a wrestler who relied on his manager and cheating to manage to win enouh matches to warrant his place in the company. Then they'll look higher and see 'Edan Ekram'. It'll list all kinds of accolades, starting with winning Next Gen, followed by winning the Freeweight Title and, who knows, maybe even the Tag Team Titles.

Make sure Scorpion knows that the only parasite around here is him; leeching off that strumpet and her lackeys.

As Rapture starts walking off down the corridor Clarissa comes back into view on camera and addresses Longinus.

C "Well that was a tad uncomfortable. I didnt know which way to look."

L "The guy is blinkered in his views. He thinks he can hide away in the Church of Hero and that he's protected in the ring each time we face off with the lackeys backing him up. That may be the case at the moment, but he wont be protected forever. There will be times when he will be vulnerable and I will give him a reality check."

Longinus looks Rapture walking down the corridor taking a turn at the bottom and going out of view.

L "You what Clarissa, im not waiting for this match. He has let his mouth run once too often. He dares come into my face and speak to me like that and then turn his back on me. This guy is a joke, the Church of Hero are a joke and I've had enough of them with their 'biblical talk'. Its time to sort this once and for all."

Longinus starts running, chasing after Rapture. Reaching the end of the corridor he turns left, then right and spots Rapture entering a room and closing the door behind him. Longinus notices the door is not locked.

Longinus goes to the door and listens against it. Its silent. With a little grin on his face Longinus clenches a fist and enters the room.

A blacked out limo pulls up to the arena. A latino man standing about 5'9 and 280 pounds, wearing a suit opens the door.

'Of course Danny, anyway look I've arrived at the arena...yes I will...Bye'

La Pulga Loco climbs out the car wearing a grey t shirt with the mexican flag printed across it and jeans. He looks at the man opening the door. The mans expression remains neutral. La pulga Loco steps forward and looks expectantly at the doorman who reluctantly shuts the door. La Pulga Loco laughs before turning around and walking off.

Doorman: 'True Mexican' under his breath

La pulga Loco turns around and walks up to the doorman.

'What did you say'

The doormans expression remains neutral and he doesn't say anything.

LPL: 'You really don't want to repeat that. Let's just say today you are lucky I have business to attend. From now on I suggest you know your place, at my feet bitch!'

LPL walks off heading towards the arena and he nows adresses the camera.

'Serious business today. Since we uncermoniously booted Mike Hill out of the group and Solomon doesn't look to be returning anytime soon then its just me and Danny. The Association doesn't really fit does it. We have a name change to discuss. The real next big thing sounds good. Cos we all know the mains that is claiming to be the next big thing really isn't. He's been the next big thing so long that he isn't even the previous next big thing. He needs to move over as the new breed is emerging. The new breed that I am heading. Mike may not have noticed but this company is changing. The men that you used too are gone. Cassius, Abe, Cobra, JJ they aren't here no more and its time you follow suit. Look at this company Mike. Look at it! Where do you fit? Are you gonna be the next big thing you're whole career. All you are here is a gatekeeper. Go to 6cw and there you can become the next big thing all over agin. Its over mike your time has passed.

And people say I betrayed you. I never betrayed you, I just did what had to be done. and you know that's how this company is. Dog eat dog. You've done it before. For those of you who don't remember it was Mike who betrayed his team mates, his friends to join the Association. That's why I never trusted Mike, a man who can betray someone to join up with you will just as easily betray you. So when Danny told me he saw Mike becoming a problem I didn't even have to think about it. I was quite happy to take Mr Bigshot out. Put blunty I didn't like you nor did I trust you because a leoapard can't change its spots and I was always waiting for you to betray us.

So when James Hamilton popped up and you got all friendly with him, alarms bells started ringing.I had to get in there first so with Danny, we decided you were a removable piece. And what makes you + james so foolish is that you are coming back at me. Mike you have seen first hand what the Association is capable of but yet you still choose to come up against me + Danny. So if you want me you come find me but beware I will send you right down the bottom of this company. So a little warning to the both of you I'm just too good and too poweful to mess with.

Walks off

Longinus throws the door open but looks on confused as the room is in complete darkness. He feels about the wall closest to him and finds the light switch before flicking it on to reveal Rapture sat in a chair facing the far wall.

“I knew you couldn’t resist you fool. I’ve told you that the anger you feel inside you would slowly become a burden. You can’t control it Longinus, it’s slowly creeping through your veins and infecting you. All the while I stand on the sidelines and watch the symptoms develop for I have once been in your position old friend. I have felt that anger that is coursing through you and I know that it eventually completely take over.”

Rapture slowly stands up from the chair and turns to face Longinus. He pulls the hood off his face and reveals a manic smile on his face. Longinus clenches his fists as Rapture begins to speak again.

“I told you I’d take advantage as you grew weaker and I don’t think I have ever seen you so helpless.”

Rapture nods and Longinus is instantly smashed across the back of a head with a steel pipe. He falls to the ground in a heap as Xeres and Vlad appear into the view of the camera. They begin stomping on him as he tries to cover up and protect himself. Rapture stands on watching laughing manically before signalling for the two to stop the attack. He asks them to pick him up and Rapture takes a few steps forward.

“Look at you, you are a pathetic parasite and I cannot wait for the moment that I can put you out of your misery.”

Rapture then slaps Longinus across the face. He crumples in a heap on the floor once again as Rapture begins to manically laugh before leaving the room.

Rapture, Xeres and Vlad walk out of the door and shut it after them.

It takes a few moments for Longinus to pull himself round and get back to his feet.
He checks the back of his head where he was hit with the steel pipe and looks at his hand. No blood. But there is an almighty lump where he was hit.

He stands there and does a few stretches. Luckily he managed to cover up so the attack wasn't too effective. He shakes his head and walks towards to the seat Rapture was sitting on.

L "IDIOT!" he shouts to himself and picks up the chair and throws it across the room.
L "This time they have gone too far. The only way they can get to you Longinus is from a sneak attack. They don't have the balls or the ability to meet you head on. Well now its my turn."

Longinus walks over to the door, opens it and peers out down the corridor. He sees Rapture, Xeres and Vlad deep in conversation at the bottom of the hallway. Xeres and Vlad both nod to Rapture and Rapture walks off alone towards the Church of Hero.

Xeres and Vlad certainly look pleased with themselves and are sharing a private joke. They start to walk off in the opposite direction to Rapture.

Longinus picks up the steel pipe left in the room and exits, heading in the direction of Xeres and Vlad. Once at the bottom of the corridor Longinus quickly looks around the corner and sees them standing outside a rest room.

Xeres addresses Vlad: "I would wait here if I were you. You really don't want to come in unless you have a gas mask. This wont be pleasant."

Vlad shows a look of disgust on his face and replies "Hurry up then."

Xeres enters the toilets leaving Vlad outside. Clarissa is walking down the corridor and passes Vlad. Vlad turns to her and watches her walking away.

Longinus whispers to himself "Now."

Longinus bursts around the corner and charges at Vlad. With a clean strike, Longinus pummels Vlad in the back of the head with the steel pipe. Vlad drops to the floor unconscious. Longinus hears the toilet flushing from within the rest room and stands over Vlad. He bends down and whispers to him:
"If you believe in anything, believe in The Atheist."

Longinus quickly makes his way around the corner which leads to the Church of Hero.

Xeres comes out of the rest room to see Vlad lying in a heap on the floor.
"What the?!"
He bends downs and slaps Vlad in the face who can only give a slight grumble in reply.
A referee comes running up and checks Vlad over.
Xeres "Stay with him, get some help. I must go and tell my Lord."

Xeres runs around the corner which leads to the Church of Hero.

'Spear of Longinus!'

Xeres is floored by Longinus who was lying in wait. Xeres is lying on the floor holding his ribs with Longinus standing tall.

Longinus bends over Xeres and declares:
L "Go tell Rapture, that I will meet him, Crime Lord and Marshall Murdoch in the ring. This is only just the beginning!"

Longinus walks away towards the steps that lead to the stage. Fuelled with adrenaline he is ready for this match.

*Uryu walks up to Longinus and nods*

Uryu: Nice to see someone fighting the Church of Hero, however you are going a bit too far with this and are going to burn out before you even touch Hero. Take your time with them, savour beating them one at a time, make Hero scared to be in the arena with you.

*Smiling he offers a handshake*

Uryu: Longinus, I am a little less experienced than Hero but I will be glad to help you prepare for facing someone of his skill, if you want it.

L:...

Longinus shakes hands with Uryu.

L "We can a common enemy. Of that there is no doubt and I appreciate your offer of assistance. But I have unfinished business with Rapture. He betrayed my trust on 6NG and will pay for it. Hero will get what is coming to him in due course. But in the short term all my energy is directed at Rapture."

L "To bring the Church of Hero tumbling down, you need to rock the foundations and destabilise it from within. Once I have finished with Rapture, then one of the key stones will have been removed from the Church. One by one, the Church will fall, leaving Hero defenceless. Believe in that, believe in The Atheist."

*Uryu smiles*

Uryu: A common enemy hmm? no, we are both going after religious nuts who believe they are the best in the industry today, we are in prime positions to upset their apple carts. If all goes well and after we face our respective opponents, it could be us facing off for a title and I will gladly give you my best right after we both beat Chaos and Hero.

*Uryu smiles and walks away*

Uryu: I wish you success Longinus.

(The lights in the corridor suddenly go out)

???: (Creepily) U....r......y.......u.....

(Laughter can be heard)

???: U.....r.....y.....u......

(The lights begin the flicker as Uryu spins on the spot)

U: (Shouting in a panicky voice) I know that's you Chaos, well at least now I know I have your attention

(The lights flicker again)

???: ...U..r.......y....u....

(Suddenly the lights come back on in full brightness. The Fanatic and James McManus are stood behind Uryu. Uryu is shaking and shouting)

U: Chaos face me like a man... (Uryu slowly turns around and gulps as he comes face to face with McManus. In McManus' hand is a Dictaphone. He smiles twistedly before pushing the button once more)

VoiceOnDictaphone: ....U...R...Y.....U...

(McManus and the Fanatic laugh)

F: You really are the perfect parasite. Gullible, vulnerable and easily frightened

JM: And your face, what a picture. Uryu, a word of advice. The True Prophet is not bothered with your hollow threats. So why don't you just run along and cry to yourself about the loss of your ever so dear Max.

F: Tick

JM: Tick

F+JM: BOOM!

(On boom the lights go out once more and the laughter of James McManus and The Fanatic is the only noise filling the void)

"The Next Big Thing" blares out through the speakers,Mike Hill swaggers out onto the ramp and he is followed by James Hamilton.They walk down the ramp on opposite sides tagging the fans hands before simultaneously sliding into the ring.Hill asks for a mic.

Mike Hill:Well,Well,Well what a match myself and James have been placed in tommorow night.Hero,Chaos and La Pulga Loco.Freak,Freakier and Freakiest.Never have I seen a team with so few brain cells between them, yet so much delusion.

Hero claims to be some sort of God,where as Chaos claims that he is a "true prophet" and that Hero is a "false prophet".And well,La Pulga can't really talk he just stands behind Danny McGraw who runs his mouth speaking a load of c***.Realistically,Neither Hero or Chaos are gods of any kind.

Hero and Chaos are just guys with massive ego's and have found people dumb enough to believe their lies.Every single one of 6WF's fans saw me warn Clarke James about what Hero would to do him,James insisted that Hero was different now.Hero can never be different,Hero can never be an all-loving god because he is so self-centred that no matter what he says,everyone knows that if he had to throw one of his disciples aside to win a world title,he'd do it without a seconds hesitation.

*Hill hands the mic to Hamilton.

Hamilton:I suppose that Danny McGraw is quite like Hero,as he has found someone dumb enough to continually tag along with him,listening and abiding to his every word despite the fact there is just so much contradictory evidence.But I for one am not going to complain,as now he has a fluke victory over me La Pulga will just think he has to turn up to beat one of two...that's not the case.

The only gods in 6WF are me and Mike Hill,we are the gods of tag team wrestling.And once Hilly has shown La Pulga the error of his ways,we shall attack the tag division and the world will finally get to see what a great tag team we are,and what a great tag team wrestler Hilly is when isn't having to carry someone through the team.

*Hill is handed the mic...

Hill:And showing that starts tommorow in our 6 man tag match,which we will win because WE ARE THAT GOD DAMN GOOD!

*Uryu stands there and clears his head*

Uryu: Damn them! Stupid idiots *He starts pacing around the corridoor, looking a little spooked at their actions* So they can still get at me, alright I gotta work around that, but I still don't have his attention! I gotta beat James in that match to shut him up.

*Uryu laughs loudly*

Uryu: What must I do to get you to pay attention to me?

Papercut hits and Marshall Murdoch hits to a chorus of boos throughout the arena, he is wearing a ‘COH original’ t-shirt, with ‘the one true follower’ on the back. His entrance video has been changed so that Clarke James has been completely edited out, apart from Marshall taking him out at the previous Lockdown.

(A small Clarke James chant breaks out as Marshall hits the ring)

MM: ‘Never, ever mention that name in front of me, for the past six months I have carried that lazy, ungrateful, talentless, bone idle, faithless son of a bitch! For six months I have had this rock dragging me down, a constant stench of failure clinging to my coattails. Well not any longer...

Marty Jannetty is gone!’ (A smile breaks out across Marshall’s face as he declares this)

‘Taken out with his own move, well my move from now on, ‘Faithless’ very apt I’m sure you’ll agree.’

‘When people look back at our ‘tag team’, I use the word team in the loosest possible term, they will wonder whatever happened to Marty Jannetty? Well I couldn’t care less.’

‘Marty Jannetty cost me MY tag team championship, he cost ME the prestige of being the longest reigning tag team champion in this company’s history, check the website if you don’t believe me. He cost ME the honour and privileges that being a champion in this business brings, but he didn’t take one thing from me, our Lords faith and belief, he cost himself that.’

‘You see Marty with every time you got pinned or submitted, our Lords faith in you dropped that little bit more, and believe me it gave me great pleasure to dispense of our ungrateful little heathen.’

‘Now this leaves me as the only original member of the Church of Hero, the only disciple loyal enough to have stuck with Hero though thick and thin, when others have been so self obsessed to believe they could cope without our God I have witnessed their subsequent failings, yet I have always stuck by his side and I will be rewarded accordingly’

‘But I have also witnessed several new members sign up to the Church in recent months, Rapture for one. Now, I have to admit this intrigues me, he has been brought in to ‘take out those deemed unworthy? Now what happens if the man brought in to eliminate those deemed unworthy, is himself deemed unworthy? Who eliminates him? As the only disciple to have constantly proved himself worthy over a period of time, I should surely have had some sort of say in this, but I must trust our Lords wishes’

‘Another addition is my new tag team partner, Crime Lord, now let’s get one thing straight I do not like or trust a man who calls himself Lord whilst in the presence of the one true Lord. I would much prefer to have my rematch against the Soldiers of Fortune 1 on 2, as I have basically been a 1 man tag team champion over the past few months and could quite easily take a pair of masked up freaks without the boulder weighing me down. But apparently this is ‘not permitted’, so again I must bow to our Lords greater knowledge and trust him complicity.

‘But Mr Crime, whilst our Lord may have deemed you worthy you must yet convince myself, not in technical ability you are a previous World Champion so are obviously capable, but with what’s in here (he points to his head) and here (to his heart), and the consequences for yourself if you don’t prove yourself may be too unpleasant to mention’.

‘But I am breaking out of the shadow of Marty Jannetty, let me announce myself fully...

I am the longest reigning tag team champion in 6WF history

I am the man who made Cassius Zhi walk away from a confrontation, knowing he had been beaten

RJ: I’m fairly sure that was Clarke James actually

I am the man who proved his faith my allowing myself to be pinned by our Lord in the Fight for the Right tournament

RJ: Again I remember that being Clarke James

I am the man who won the tag titles by pinning former world champions and challengers

RJ: For God’s sake, is he just claiming all of Clarke James’ achievements?

I am the man who retired a legend in Hobo, the next big thing in Dexter Morgan and the boulder Marty Jannetty

RJ: Actually he did do those

I am Marshall Murdoch, as if you didn’t already know

Miss Jessica is watching Edan Ekram’s promos on a monitor backstage. She’s stood nonchalantly, whilst twirling a strand of hair and chewing

Miss Jessica : Seriously? Who does THIS guy think he is?

Of course I’m the greatest manager in 6WF history. There isn’t any doubt whatsoever! Like, name me one other manager who has held two world titles, AT THE SAME TIME, an European title, AND personally coached a total newbie to a victory over one of the greatest legends in the business??

I can imagine your pathetic little brain working overtime already, and it’s totally painful, so I’ll put you out of your misery – NO-ONE!

And what have you done Ekram? Won some Sunday league trophy that nobody even cared about anyway?

The only reason I even took part in Next Gen was so I could take the only redeemable feature of that embarrassing competition - my Scorpi - and manage him to the same level of greatness as Lex Hart, Cassius Zhi and The Saint. MY CLIENTS! We’re talking GLOBAL SUPERSTARS!

I mean… who is Edan Ekram anyway? He sounds like some sort of Turkish cheese merchant.
Seriously, he sounds like a Harry Potter spell.
He sounds like a rural Dutch village or something. I mean… SUCH a joke.

And I know you’re keen on your feng shui and all that Edan. So here’s a tip from someone who is not only a world class wrestling manager, but a pretty nifty interior designer too… seriously I am, like, you should see my flat! Well… it would obviously be in your dreams loser! But take my word for it – it’s not like anyone can have any doubt that I have like, A-mazing taste anyway.

Whatever - a tip for the feng-shui fan. This arena would look SO less cluttered and chaotic without idiots like you in it. You may think I’m only ITV2 material, but even that is WAY out of your league freakzilla. Because the board of directors must be like, totally wacko to even let someone as uninspiring and dull as you on screen at all. In fact, I’ve heard that the stage directors don’t call your match “match one” or “match two” but “toilet break”.

Miss Jessica giggles to herself

Miss Jessica : So tonight on Shutdown, I hope we align our yin’s and yang’s and achieve some real balance in the room… when Scorpion ends your career.

Miss Jessica puts a hand on her chest, looking shocked at using Scorpion’s catchphase

Miss Jessica : Oh my god, did I just say that?

She shakes her head and pushes a loose strand of hair behind her ear

Miss Jessica : Oh and one other thing Edan. Not like it’s any of your business how I get my clients. But F.Y.I. it’s not by sleeping with them. It’s because they know I, and only I, can take them all the way to the top of this business honey…

… then when they get there…

Miss Jessica looks mischievous and shrugs her shoulders

Miss Jessica : … well there has to be a suitable reward for success as part of any good motivational strategy. Every good manager knows that Edan.

It’s just like, a shame you drew Jerome Dubois I guess. Though I’m sure his baguette tastes lovely with your Turkish cheese.

Ew… gross.

Miss Jessica skips away laughing to herself.

Perfect Jack is walking through the arena corridors when Clarrissa approaches him.

CL: Jack, why do you have a smile on your face only a few short weeks after you lost your world title.

PJ: Clarrissa, don't you see. I have the chance to rid Lex Hart from 6WF for once and for all. That is an opportunity you don't get every day. To be the one who exiles him from 6WF, it will bring me such great pleasure. To be the last man standing from Perfect Execution it will prove that I am indeed the better man from that team. To prove to the whole world and the small minority of Lex Hart fans out there that I was and still am the better man.

CL: Ok Jack, before you go, I wanted to ask you a few questions regarding the last title match at the PPV. What are your thoughts on this?

PJ: Clarrisa, yes, I was the one who got pinned. I made an uncharacteristic mistake and Hero luckily capitalised. I know Lex has down the rounds with his usual bitching and whining but I ask the world, where was he to break the pinfall? Outside the ring on his ass. He was nowhere to be seen.

This Monday, Shutdown will see it's biggest battle ever. Blood will be spilt. Sweat will drip. Tears will be cried. Lex Hart, your end is here. The Perfect Era will once again rise to fruition and I will be the most dominant athlete once again in 6WF.

MW-One of my new favourite wrestlers,one half of the parasite killers and the man who will finaly end the career of Uryu,The Future,James Mcmanus has asked for this time.Take it away Mcmanus

Camera cuts to the room of Mcmanus, where Mcmanus is seen riding an exercise bike. He stops and begins to talk. also in the background the fanatic is seen lifting weights

JM-So here we are the day of Shutdown,about 3 hours before show time.as you can see I'am in the best physical shape of my career so far.

Mcmanus Gets off the bike and puts on his ring entrance robe

JM-the reason I'am in such good shape is because of 1 man. And that man is Chaos.

But to tonight I'am against the man called "Small" Al Lustley,If he was wise he wouldn't show up here tonight especially after he saw what I can do to men in that ring. But if he is stupid enough to turn up here tonight,I will put him in the british figure four. A bit of advice for you Mr Lustley,when i do get hold of you in that hold tap as quick as you can because i'am not scared to put more and more pressure on that hold.

Fanatic come here

Fanatic gets up from the bench and walks over to where Mcmanus is standing.

JM-Urine, I will now address you. I hope you liked mine and fanatics little surprises,but like what we told you The True Prophet is not bothered with anything you say to him or about him. He is only bothered with one thing at this moment in time and that is the world undisputed championship,which he will win may i add. But Urine I will give you my word I will up hold my end of the bargain if you beat me ,you will get your match with Chaos, but not before he wins that title and takes out the parasites known as the Church of Hero.

Remember Urine 10,3 minute rounds,2 falls or one knock out to win, no DQ's me and You when the board allow it. I hope you watch my match tonight as that is what will be your future. me standing above you with my arm raised in victory and there will be nothing you or any one can do about it. You will be the third Parasite I kill the career of. That is all.

F: Tick

JM: Tick

F+JM: BOOM!

On boom the cameras cut rolling and the scene fades to black

*Uryu is seen at a boxing gym punching a speedbag furiously*

???: Time Uryu.

*Uryu stops and nods, grabbing a towel and wiping the sweat from his face*

Uryu: Cheers Carl for letting me use the gym.

*The camera pulls out to reveal Carl Froch and his trainer Robert McCracken nodding*

RM: Not bad punching, you just need to work on accuracy a little, get some protective gear on and you and Carl spar, you follow my instructions on targets ok?

Uryu: Sure

*Uryu and Carl step in the ring, wearing protective gear as they both spar, Uryu following instructions somewhat slow and distracted*

RM: Left hook, right jab, right jab right jab!

*Carl backs away, taking his headgear off*

CF: Whats up? normally sparring excites you but why not today?

*Uryu takes his headgear off and sits on the edge of the ring sighing*

Uryu: It's my next opponent, hes been manipulating my mind more than I thought he would. It's starting to really get to me.

CF: Mind games, is this because of that Chaos guy you told me about?

Uryu: Yeah, it's one of his followers i'm facing. Ever since I returned all I wanted to do was beat Chaos to a pulp but I cannot locate him anywhere and it's bloody frustrating!.

*Carl nods and looks at Uryu*

CF: Mind games are a part of our sports so you have to get used to them after being away from them for so long. Just take them one at a time and if you can, try to outfox them if you can. You have seen my fight build ups and how i ignore what they say because i always prove my skill in the ring and that is what you should do! You are an excellent wrestler and you should show that to all your fans by beating your opponent in the ring!

*Uryu nods and smiles*

Uryu: You are right Carl but how can I stop these weird things affecting me?

CF: You can't, you just soldier on. Lets get back to sparring

*They put their gear back on and start sparring, much more confidence coming from Uryu*
