The godlike camera comes to life taking in the view of a dilapidated strip mall that once blossomed in the 80s, with some of its busted neon lights still trying to scream to life being nestled away in some undisclosed location in backwash America. A trash truck rolls by the camera carrying a green dumpster, with a zombie horde of homeless people running after it out of pure desperation, of all sorts of ethnicities and all wearing too many layers of outdated clothes for this summer heat. The godlike camera comes back to its original shot and TFK is standing with his arms spread open holding a giant pair of gold plated scissors in his right hand as a red ribbon hangs behind him. Thad wears his blue Armani suit, with a pair of black aviators on, and flashing that Hollywood Elite Million Dollar smile.
(TFK)
Action Wrestling, here we are again another week of the riff raff chasing after the slop left over from the all but forgotten nuclear family's dinner table… Hard working individuals, individuals that I found time to visit as their United States Champion, but I can easily see that good guy Kyle Kemp looking after the prestigious American values just the same as I did before him… That gives The Hollywood Elite time to do what WE do best and that is to live the Elite lifestyle so the less fortunate can yearn for something more out of their mundane simplified lives…
Thad watches the homeless chase the dumpster, a good number getting Zander Hobbs winded.
(TFK)
Instead of the slops of those of a higher level…
Thad shutters and then returns his gaze back to the godlike camera.
(TFK)
You're probably wondering why I've brought you to this strip mall filled with desperate hobos looking for their next meal, right? It's simple, as the director I had to find the closest thing to represent those god awful "Slabs" and whatever drug riddled place in Florida, Dandy comes from.
TFK motions the camera to the strip mall which has obviously seen better days.
(TFK)
The mall used to be so Americana, a beacon of what the average worker aimed to be able to drop their kids off at, so they could buy the good drugs from Randy the AV Club president and the local drug peddler, who said he found a way to make you see the ghost boy in that 3 men and a baby movie… Yeah it was that good stuff.
Thad chuckles to himself.
(TFK)
I'm taking up so much time that the majesty of this here ribbon cutting is being wasted… I mean I did all of this for Robbie, after all, you'd hate for me to waste this moment, right Spencer? You know, where you failed to save the little nephew from the demons of your ridiculous past and you didn't even do anything worthwhile for his memory in his wake of being taken so early in his life … I mean I know your funds weren't in a comfortable state after UCI closed up, but Robbie was your nephew, your most favoritist guy, and the only person who saw you as the "stand up" person you aim so hard to be… He's the only one who didn't see you as the true low life you really are… But you know, I'm Hollywood Elite and buying this shit hole of a mall and naming it after your nephew was the least I could do to have the perfect place to shoot on each and everyone of my opponents this week as I step up to the very peak of this company where I rightfully belong. Spencer Adams use to find joy in pulling the rug out from under me and reminding me why I was the peak of the midcard… Spencer Adams truly believed he was my kryptonite and he played my biggest critic for a very long time… Hell, he use to downplay my record breaking US title reign as if the title meant squat, but he was the first in line to pat his old buddy Kyle Kemp on the ass for a job well done earning it… I suppose that title I CREATED wasn't that bad of a first AW title for his little friend, now was it?
Thad rolls his eyes under his glasses.
(TFK)
It's a shame the prestige I placed within that strap has been ravished, prodded, and passed around so many times I don't even recognize her anymore… So I suppose I can sympathize with Ryan when he wants to do everything he can to keep his World title close… But I can promise the moment I walk out of Uprising as the NEW AW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, I will treat her like the finest prize in all of Action Wrestling, just as she has always been meant to be treated as.
Thad shakes his head.
(TFK)
Camilla… That Muppet is too busy trying to get all the shit in line in AW that she's forgetting her title needs a goddamn face lift. Ryan Lockhart has been living on borrowed time and his wrinkles are starting to show… And we all know a proud Bostonian like Ryan Lockhart would never do what is necessary and get those blemishes fixed, oh no, not Ryan Lockhart. He'll wear that seed planted doubt without raising a single peep about his shortcomings as a true to life World Champion and he'll joke about how he's defended his championship soundly without there being a single moment of complete and utter doubt that he'd walk out as champion still… The chinc in Lockhart's armor was louder than ever at Carnage, louder than it has ever been…
A little bit of movie camera magic and we transition shots from outside the mall to the inside of the mall standing in front of a store that looks like it was built inside an old Radio Shack. The sign reads A Dick's Electronics Palace a row of televisions look to be playing Carnage play backs that are artfully pieced together for our viewing pleasure.
Richards picks up Lockhart for a chokeslam but turns and falls backwards causing Lockhart to land on his face!
Chris Avery: ZIM-QUILA HANGOVER!
Billy: WE MIGHT HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
Richards pins!
One!
Two!
Thre
TFK BREAKS THE PINNING COMBINATION!
Billy: HOW THE HELL IS TFK STILL ALIVE!
(TFK)
No matter how much was thrown at me, I showed I fucking belonged by my WILL TO KEEP PUSHING THROUGH.
Richards is up and runs at TFK, but TFK ducks and Richards hits the turnbuckles as TFK is now bouncing off the ropes and runs hitting his KNEE!
Billy: TFKO!
Chris Avery: NEW WORLD CHAMPION!! NEW CHAMPION!!
TFK pins Richards!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE-
Billy: NOOOOO LOCKHART PULLED THE REF OUT JUST IN TIME!
TFK can't believe it and sits up thinking he had it won!
Lockhart slides into the ring and goes for a clothesline but TFK ducks, and turns around and hits a codebreaker on Lockhart!
Chris Avery: OHHHH
TFK turns Lockhart over and hooks the leg!
The crowd: "ONE! TWO! THREE!! BOOOOOO!!"
Billy: THAT WOULD HAVE DONE IT BUT THERES NO REF!
(TFK)
That moment when everyone can hate the ground you walk on but know the moment they're living in could be something straight out of a fucking Disney feel good movie where the guy everyone bet against has the chance to walk out with ALL THE WINNINGS… The fans were feeling it and they knew it was MY time, even with all their animosity toward me, and that is what Ricky and Ryan saw that night in that very moment...
Billy: Shitfire, Richards is going to end this right here!
TFK gets up and stumbles into Richards ... Richards with the Spiked Samoan Punch!
Chris Avery: OH MY GOD!
Richards pins TFK!
One!
Two!
Thre-
TFK KICKS OUT WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW!
(TFK)
What did it take Ricky and Ryan? What did it take to put TFK down? The guy neither of you saw as a credible threat… I was bringing more heart than either of you could've imagined and it took Ricky hitting me with some super duper Sanity Slip off the top rope and for Ryan to play the role he was born to play oh so well, the ultimate opportunist steals the victory and relinquishes his title… But there was still a weak point Ryan showed in the match, wasn't there? That chinc I was leading to, it's the too many variables game that Lockhart showed he couldn't hold with an iron grip like the “norm”. Lockhart HAD to rely on underhanded tactics and swoop in at last minute to walk away with his title in hand that was the only Ace he left up his sleeve… But now we add 2 more names to the mix with the addition of a ladder and the title dangling from the rafters above? Unless Jared Holmes comes back and picks Ryan up and carries him to the top of the ladder while the rest of us look on confused, there is no outstanding variable that is going to be working in Ryan Lockhart's favor in this match. Plain and simple, this is going to be a match won by the man who can control every situation in that ring… A true cerebral who knows what it takes to get the picture perfect shot no matter the cost.
Thad exits the electronics store with the A Dick’s Electronics Palace sign still in shot directly above him.
(TFK)
Before the title match, Ricky claimed I didn’t belong in HIS match and it is so brutally obvious why he didn’t want me involved… I told the entire world that Ricky can’t get the job done when there’s more than one person to worry about. He gets massively confused and he can’t win the big one when there's too many opponents to concentrate on.
Thad smirks into the godlike camera.
(TFK)
Do you see me now, Ricky? I showed up and I made myself known in a match you felt I had no right being in. TFK is Hollywood and The Hollywood Elite is main event caliber players, whether any of you idiots believe it or not. I WILL CLIMB THAT LADDER and I WILL WALK OUT YOUR AW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
TFK starts to walk past vacant mall stores as the godlike camera keeps him in view.
(TFK)
I am BACK bay bay and you know because Hollywood is just as bad as politics, I feel it is best I try to get out in front of all of this MIA business… I was away for a bit, we all know that, yeah? That set up Dandy vs Kidsgrove for months on end and what left that door wide open for them? Drugs, violence, sex, and whatever else was on the table, i suppose. Hell, thanks to Big John Frost I was even caught up in some racial slur scandal, thankfully it got swept under the rug, just as anything else in Hollywood. I mean, as long as it doesn't happen on an office plant, everything is fine…
Thad steps up to the food court keeping the godlike camera rolling focused on him instead of the court filled with slobs everywhere gorging on deep fried offerings.
(TFK)
Craig got himself a cocaine addiction, Big John got himself detained in Russia. ehgain… And in my absence the US title was turned into a dirty skanky sex toy being passed back and forth from Dandy and Kidsgrove.
Thad stops for a second rubbing the stubble on his chin and then snapping his fingers.
(TFK)
We know who the real star of that feud was and it most certainly was Kidsgrove for having to make something as ridiculous as their story work, but that's the star power he has. That's the range of a performer he brings to any role… That's why I have cameras following him 24 hours right now, because he is MUST SEE TV… He wasn't meant to have some Looney Toons fueled story with Florida Man, beating each other all over God's green earth. That's the kinda hopped up on bath salts thinking that I'd only expect from Dandy. He's been on this morbid, twisted, don't take him around your kids path since stepping foot in Action Wrestling… I mean throw in a few LOLz and FGTz and you have the ZMac formula to the T. I mean if you look like you fell out of a toxic waste dumpster and put on the most grotesque look on your face at all times and speak in a deep dumpster dweller language, you'll get championships… It worked for Z, so why wouldn't it work for ZMac's sloppy 3rds?
Thad makes sure the camera is pointed at him.
(TFK)
Dandy, I want you to hear me, really fucking hear me right now… Your entire run here has been a mere child's game and you did nothing to elevate MY US title in that journey. Your bedtime story feud with Kidsgrove may have generated ratings but we all know that Kidsgrove's star power is what pulled that off and the fact that everyone wanted to see if he could rearrange your face enough to better introduce you to society… This match up we have with three other competitors isn't going to involve me going to your mom's house and eating her cookies… It's not going to involve some slapstick comedy of us trying to upstage one another at every turn… This is going to be The Director of Action Wrestling finally taking back his goddamn picture and sending your ass back to the cutting room floor where you rightfully BELONG. You don't belong at the top of Action Wrestling and I'm not one willing to share this climb with you. I don't care about painting some brilliant picture with you, because there's nothing brilliant about you. You come back from "hell" with some spooky, I'm going to hide in the rafters schtick as if you needed more idiocracy thrown onto your poor Florida Man gimmick. All the while, Kidsgrove is walking around with a percocet pez dispenser in his pocket of Henry Winkler… I get it, that finale match of yours did something to the two of you, but what did that single match do to put you at higher billing than Kidsgrove? Did ya pay a couple of visits to Torture's old Casting Couch? I mean sure, no named blonde, no named red head, and no named brunette all have found their way from a single casting couch all the same… But unlike them, the ones who actually have assets for the camera, your quick tug and hug with Torture may get you to the dance but unlike my stand out showing at Carnage, yours is going to be as exciting as that of the crashed car on the PPV Poster. It'll even be as 2 dimensional, just like your publicist with her garbage pail kids hair cut. Speaking of that ugly troll, if there's anything she did well while you were gone, it's she actually made people wonder when you were going to show your ugly mug again, so kudos to her on that one.
A fight breaks out behind Thad between a couple of bums fighting over a trash can.
(TFK)
Spencer's people really know how to celebrate a life…
Thad cups his hands and shouts at the hobos.
(TFK)
LET'S HEAR IT FOR ROBBIE!
The bums all yell Robbie and then start swinging on each other.
(TFK)
But enough about the riff raff… We all know the man that all of us are truly gunning for, I mean I backed the kid from the very beginning, two AW Originals from Boston, I couldn’t help but see the lion that was inside of Lockhart. He’s young and brash and he honestly has a good mind for this business. He knew of his childhood heroes in the #BeachKrew and he only had to reach out to Jared Holmes… The outcome was his rise to power whether that Muppet Camilla wanted him to or not. Without the rocket that took Lockhart to the top though, now he’s left scurring around living on a hope and a prayer, trying to navigate blindly through the upper tier of Action Wrestling. Ryan was a good kid though, he took direction easily through his career so far and I do have to say some of his hottest promos had that TFK seal of approval on them, but he won’t replay all those gems for you after this is all said and done… As I mentioned before though, that borrowed time at the top is becoming rattled at every defense and the miracle of him walking away from a surprise Casey Holliday cash in… What can words say? He survived and he even walked away that same night when he got jumped by the bruiser brigade in those Culture Shock idiots…
Thad slowly nods.
(TFK)
But nothing was going to keep Ryan Lockhart down… Then once he thought he had everything well in hand, The Muppet gave into to the demand of every big priced ticket holder, causing the walls of that cool, smug, and arrogant facade to come crashing down around him… Lockhart is nothing without his confidence and once he’s standing across from all of us with his glory hanging high above him, that chinc in his armor is going to be ripped wide open. You’re going to see a once graceful man trying to find his footing while the rest of us are going to be looking to make short work of a ladder.
Thad smirks softly.
(TFK)
Heights? Nah, doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve been staying in Penthouse suites my entire life and come on, I’m Hollywood bay bay. We live to stand higher than everyone and making short work of that ladder is going to be the number one thing to keep me focused on that grand prize. Since day one I've been aiming for the stars in Action Wrestling and once Spencer Adams knocked me out of the tournament to crown the inaugural champion… I opened my mind to different paths and if you go back and you pay very close attention to my journey… You’ll see my growth. I was an arrogant little shit like Ryan Lockhart, blame it on our Bostonian ways, but even now as I walk with my head above the rest, I wholeheartedly believe I stand where I deserve to stand. My brothers will make short work of Team Fishsticks and then when the smoke settles at the end of the night… You will be paying close attention to THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE standing tall above the WORLD. Then each and everyone of you will be invited to The Viper Room for a week of celebration, that is if you can survive the wait to get in.
Thad chuckles.
(TFK)
Not everyone is designed to survive that velvet rope, after all… But there is something that each of you are going to play better than any of you have ever played in your little careers, whether you choose to put forth your best effort or not… You are all going to play eXtras to the real star of this match and you will bear witness to THEE NEXT ACTION WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Each of you have spoken your peace and each of you have made an argument as to why TFK doesn’t belong in that main event… All of which has been proven time and time again absolutely WRONG. Try to put me down and I will get back up swinging back. Throw a fucking GOD AT ME and guess what I will still talk trash like I’m the KING OF THE WORLD! Ryan Lockhart will become humbled… Ricky will be enlightened far beyond his mass confused ass can handle… Dandy will be welcomed back to AW to a fall from disgrace… And KOS, he will huff and he will puff at the idea of me doing something like naming this mall after his nephew… He will still hold to his guns and down play, but once he is written off and sent back to the bottom of the card, he will finally realize what kind of man TFK IS. All you eXtras in this match will play their roles, stand in their spots, and wait for their goddamn QUES. All you monkeys will build up the moment when I grab up that belt and you will all look up to me, the way you were ALL DESTINED TO.
Thad bows to the godlike camera.
(TFK)
So, thank you Spencer for being the catalyst in my growth within this company, because without failure I wouldn’t have learned how to be the winner I am today. Go ahead, take that in and let that lift your spirits up, I mean you could probably need it, if the Slabs are as depressing as this shitty mall…
Thad pulls the camera closer.
(TFK)
At Uprising each of you are going to realize that is is TIME for The DIrector to take back his picture once and for all, and send that Muppet packing to solidify my spot as the FACE of Action Wrestling. I mean we all know Ryan has been too busy measuring dicks with Camilla instead of taking his rightful place, so clipping them both out of the picture is the only Director’s Choice thing to do… So how about you roll those credits, MONKEYS and watch this film play out the way it was always meant to. TFK on the top and the rest of you playing my eXtras!
Thad crosses his arms and smirks the cockiest smirk he can muster.
(TFK)
Don’t worry, we’re not going to Marvel Cinematic Universe you, we won’t make you wait til after the credits to give you a reason to keep watching. You will behold The Hollywood Elite Era and we will be shutting down that Viper Club NIGHTLY! See you ALL IN Sin City where the bets are high and the reward is even HIGHER.
STATIC
(Jefferson King)
Hey son, I know this is your moment and you’ve benched your boys for the most part… I just wanted to tell you, that you finally coming into your own with your Hollywood buddies, seems to be the best move for you. Your confidence is out of this world and there are moments you remind me of a young Jefferson King… Mere moments, son don’t let it go to your head. In all fairness, I just want to truly wish you the best of luck going into your big Vegas World title match and god how does that not sound like BIG BOX OFFICE? RIght? Just keep your head on a swivel out there, because you know how those girls feel in those bukkake party videos I shoot, they may feel like they’re in control, but when you got that many dicks swinging looking for that money shot… Right, you never know what could potentially happen, is all I’m saying. Prove that this moment and this journey is your culmination… Grab that Oscar, that Emmy, those GOLDEN GLOBES and prove all of your haters wrong. Heh, especially me… Maybe if you do well enough, I'll give you three of my mattress actresses with actual names. HAHA, thought you might like that. Love you kid and if you get a chance, grab up an autograph from Ryan Lockhart for me? HAHAHAHA
FIN
(TFK)
Action Wrestling, here we are again another week of the riff raff chasing after the slop left over from the all but forgotten nuclear family's dinner table… Hard working individuals, individuals that I found time to visit as their United States Champion, but I can easily see that good guy Kyle Kemp looking after the prestigious American values just the same as I did before him… That gives The Hollywood Elite time to do what WE do best and that is to live the Elite lifestyle so the less fortunate can yearn for something more out of their mundane simplified lives…

It'll even be as 2 dimensional, just like your publicist with her garbage pail kids hair cut. Speaking of that ugly troll, if there's anything she did well while you were gone, it's she actually made people wonder when you were going to show your ugly mug again, so kudos to her on that one.
A fight breaks out behind Thad between a couple of bums fighting over a trash can.
(TFK)
Spencer's people really know how to celebrate a life…
Thad cups his hands and shouts at the hobos.
(TFK)
LET'S HEAR IT FOR ROBBIE!
The bums all yell Robbie and then start swinging on each other.
(TFK)
But enough about the riff raff… We all know the man that all of us are truly gunning for, I mean I backed the kid from the very beginning, two AW Originals from Boston, I couldn’t help but see the lion that was inside of Lockhart. He’s young and brash and he honestly has a good mind for this business. He knew of his childhood heroes in the #BeachKrew and he only had to reach out to Jared Holmes… The outcome was his rise to power whether that Muppet Camilla wanted him to or not. Without the rocket that took Lockhart to the top though, now he’s left scurring around living on a hope and a prayer, trying to navigate blindly through the upper tier of Action Wrestling. Ryan was a good kid though, he took direction easily through his career so far and I do have to say some of his hottest promos had that TFK seal of approval on them, but he won’t replay all those gems for you after this is all said and done… As I mentioned before though, that borrowed time at the top is becoming rattled at every defense and the miracle of him walking away from a surprise Casey Holliday cash in… What can words say? He survived and he even walked away that same night when he got jumped by the bruiser brigade in those Culture Shock idiots…
Thad slowly nods.
(TFK)
But nothing was going to keep Ryan Lockhart down… Then once he thought he had everything well in hand, The Muppet gave into to the demand of every big priced ticket holder, causing the walls of that cool, smug, and arrogant facade to come crashing down around him… Lockhart is nothing without his confidence and once he’s standing across from all of us with his glory hanging high above him, that chinc in his armor is going to be ripped wide open. You’re going to see a once graceful man trying to find his footing while the rest of us are going to be looking to make short work of a ladder.
Thad smirks softly.
(TFK)
Heights? Nah, doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve been staying in Penthouse suites my entire life and come on, I’m Hollywood bay bay. We live to stand higher than everyone and making short work of that ladder is going to be the number one thing to keep me focused on that grand prize. Since day one I've been aiming for the stars in Action Wrestling and once Spencer Adams knocked me out of the tournament to crown the inaugural champion… I opened my mind to different paths and if you go back and you pay very close attention to my journey… You’ll see my growth. I was an arrogant little shit like Ryan Lockhart, blame it on our Bostonian ways, but even now as I walk with my head above the rest, I wholeheartedly believe I stand where I deserve to stand. My brothers will make short work of Team Fishsticks and then when the smoke settles at the end of the night… You will be paying close attention to THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE standing tall above the WORLD. Then each and everyone of you will be invited to The Viper Room for a week of celebration, that is if you can survive the wait to get in.
Thad chuckles.
(TFK)
Not everyone is designed to survive that velvet rope, after all… But there is something that each of you are going to play better than any of you have ever played in your little careers, whether you choose to put forth your best effort or not… You are all going to play eXtras to the real star of this match and you will bear witness to THEE NEXT ACTION WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Each of you have spoken your peace and each of you have made an argument as to why TFK doesn’t belong in that main event… All of which has been proven time and time again absolutely WRONG. Try to put me down and I will get back up swinging back. Throw a fucking GOD AT ME and guess what I will still talk trash like I’m the KING OF THE WORLD! Ryan Lockhart will become humbled… Ricky will be enlightened far beyond his mass confused ass can handle… Dandy will be welcomed back to AW to a fall from disgrace… And KOS, he will huff and he will puff at the idea of me doing something like naming this mall after his nephew… He will still hold to his guns and down play, but once he is written off and sent back to the bottom of the card, he will finally realize what kind of man TFK IS. All you eXtras in this match will play their roles, stand in their spots, and wait for their goddamn QUES. All you monkeys will build up the moment when I grab up that belt and you will all look up to me, the way you were ALL DESTINED TO.
Thad bows to the godlike camera.
(TFK)
So, thank you Spencer for being the catalyst in my growth within this company, because without failure I wouldn’t have learned how to be the winner I am today. Go ahead, take that in and let that lift your spirits up, I mean you could probably need it, if the Slabs are as depressing as this shitty mall…
Thad pulls the camera closer.
(TFK)
At Uprising each of you are going to realize that is is TIME for The DIrector to take back his picture once and for all, and send that Muppet packing to solidify my spot as the FACE of Action Wrestling. I mean we all know Ryan has been too busy measuring dicks with Camilla instead of taking his rightful place, so clipping them both out of the picture is the only Director’s Choice thing to do… So how about you roll those credits, MONKEYS and watch this film play out the way it was always meant to. TFK on the top and the rest of you playing my eXtras!
Thad crosses his arms and smirks the cockiest smirk he can muster.
(TFK)
Don’t worry, we’re not going to Marvel Cinematic Universe you, we won’t make you wait til after the credits to give you a reason to keep watching. You will behold The Hollywood Elite Era and we will be shutting down that Viper Club NIGHTLY! See you ALL IN Sin City where the bets are high and the reward is even HIGHER.

(Jefferson King)
Hey son, I know this is your moment and you’ve benched your boys for the most part… I just wanted to tell you, that you finally coming into your own with your Hollywood buddies, seems to be the best move for you. Your confidence is out of this world and there are moments you remind me of a young Jefferson King… Mere moments, son don’t let it go to your head. In all fairness, I just want to truly wish you the best of luck going into your big Vegas World title match and god how does that not sound like BIG BOX OFFICE? RIght? Just keep your head on a swivel out there, because you know how those girls feel in those bukkake party videos I shoot, they may feel like they’re in control, but when you got that many dicks swinging looking for that money shot… Right, you never know what could potentially happen, is all I’m saying. Prove that this moment and this journey is your culmination… Grab that Oscar, that Emmy, those GOLDEN GLOBES and prove all of your haters wrong. Heh, especially me… Maybe if you do well enough, I'll give you three of my mattress actresses with actual names. HAHA, thought you might like that. Love you kid and if you get a chance, grab up an autograph from Ryan Lockhart for me? HAHAHAHA
