[The scene opens up in the bleachers of an indy wrestling show. The camera looks over the shoulder of Joel Thunder as he watches two young wrestlers battle it out in the ring. The two are putting on a show and the sold out small venue loves every minute of it.]
JT: Welcome to my pas WpW. It was places like these that I would stamp my authority on the wrestling industry. This is where real wrestling is born.
[One of the wrestlers begins to get on top of the contest and is looking to finish. He’s a slick, tall young kid with colourful wrestling tights and a pair of silver shining boots.]
JT: Every man who has aspirations of making it in the big time must test their goods in these rings. You pass the test and show that you’re worth the price of admission then you move on. You fail… see ya later, enjoy your job flipping for the rest of your life.
[The flamboyant wrestler now raised the other man above his head and drops him before striking a pose for the crowd.]
JT: It always makes me laugh when I hear a superstar let the world know that they started at the top and didn’t have to prove a thing to anyone to get there. All it tells me is that on the contrary they did have to prove themselves… prove that they were good enough on their knees to suck their way to the top. That’s the problem with wrestling these days. All these young kids think that they can coast by without any of the hard work that done behind the scenes.
[The dominant wrestler begins to climb the turnbuckle while the other lies motionless in the middle of the ring.]
JT: I’ve been controlling the amateur wrestling circuit since I was eighteen in hope of keeping the entire industry in order. I’ve been successful in my pursuit but not even I could hold this avalanche forever. You look at the Roy Lee Rumble and all I see is the same old washups trying to vie to be the faux champion. Everyone’s talking about Firebomb looking to recapture the World Title as if he’s coming back from years of absence to shock the world. They’re talking about how Frost has made the trip to the WpW as if he was even relevant any more. Scooter’s getting a shot at the title while some of the best to have ever stepped into the WpW never even got a look in. Johnny Jester has a chance at being the double champion and writing history as being the one to retire the Continental Title despite not having the decency to show his face once before the pay per view. Some apparent ‘Mystery Team’ is going to come in and try steal the show to win the Tag Team Titles without having to prove themselves worthy.
[Finally the young gun leaps from the turnbuckle and hits a Diving Headbutt for the win.]
JT: But the worst of all is that the airwaves actually think Carlos Bruton will be a decent champion for the WpW. The man uses more energy finding weed to melt his brain than to build his muscle. It sickens me to think that this junky is in the history books after capturing his second TV Title to tie with legends of the ring like The Striken and Michael Manetta. At the Roy Lee Rumble I’m going to make sure that every record of the man is squandered by the image of him weeping in fear and pain on his way up the rampway in a stretcher.
[The young wrestlers music hits and he beings to pose in the ring to the hundreds of admirers. He leaves the ring and goes to meet with the fans to take pictures, sign memorabilia and get a few kisses from the ladies in attendance. Joel Thunder now gets up from his seat and begins to head for the exit while the camera follows him.]
JT: I’ve come into the WpW to finally make my mark on the industry out of the anonymity of the shadows. I’m here to show the world how a true wrestler is supposed to rule the ring.
[Thunder walks backstage and craftily passed the security guards as if he knows the arena like the back of his hand. He walks the hallways with a powerful presence and catches up to the young man who just won the previous match. The young man is talking loudly of his recent achievement and as he turns around he bangs right into the chest of Joel Thunder.]
Young Wrestler: Whoah look out old-timer. A foot closer and you might have been in a hospital bed.
JT: Is that so? So what do you call yourself young fella?
Young Wrestler: It’s The Amazing Tornado and you watch your tongue calling me ‘young fella’. I’m the future of the business so remember this moment so you can tell all your retirement home buddies about the day you met the best in the business. So what’s the deal? Are you some reporter that wants an interview or something?
JT: Yeah something like that. So Amazing Tornado is it? Is that some sort of kids superhero knockoff or something?
AT: Careful now.
[The Amazing Tornado is now standing directly over Joel Thunder who doesn’t back away an inch.]
JT: What makes you think that you’re the next big thing in wrestling then?
AT: Did you see what I just did to that sorry excuse for an opponent out there? I’m a star in the making and this whole town knew it tonight. Now I’ve got the chance to prove it in a couple of weeks.
JT: All I saw out there was a kid out of his depth who could hardly beat a man who barely deserves to call wrestling a weekend hobby of his.
AT: Look old man I’ve already beaten up one retard tonight and I don’t plan on doing it again. You’re lucky I’ve got a locker room full of honeys waiting to get a taste of the hottest thing in wrestling. I’ll let this one slide for now knowing that you’ll be eating your words when I hold the WpW All Time Television Title above my head at the end of the month.
[Joel Thunder’s somewhat playful manner all of a sudden turns malicious has he takes a step back and stares the young man right in the eye.]
JT: Excuse me?
AT: Yeah you heard it. It’s a good thing that the belt is open to any to enter. They’ve just secured the services of yours truly. I’m going to start with a bang by hoisting up that title belt at the Roy Lee Rumble.
JT: Oh really? So is there much competition then?
AT: It’s not like it would matter. The only person brave enough to put in their name is some old man that calls himself…
[The Amazing Tornado stops mid sentence and now realises who he’s been talking to. His eyes widen and he takes a step back. Joel Thunder quickly jumps him and smashes his head into the concrete wall lining the hallway. Barely conscious now, Joel Thunder picks him up and brings him face to face while keeping his grip tightly wrapped around his throat.]
JT: You listen closer now… young fella. You’re exactly what is wrong with wrestling these days. You prance around the ring as if every inch of the canvas was laid down just for you. You pose for the crowd as if they live each day just to get a glimpse of you. You beat one useless kid today and think that you can make it in the big leagues. Sorry punk but it’s not going to happen. I’m going to win that All Time Television Title and the Roy Lee Rumble and I’m going to do it without embarrassments like you in the ring. You’ll look back on this day and thank me one day from waking you up from your daydream. As for the Roy Lee Rumble, sorry kid but I don’t think you’re going to be able to make it.
[Thunder throws the kids skull against the wall again and then lays kicks and punches into him. The backstage medical team see the unconscious body on the floor taking damage from Thunder and rush towards the two. Thunder gives one final blow and then walks from the scene with a grin on his face. The cameras follow him walk through the hallway and out of the stadium.]
JT: The Amazing Tornado has been eliminated. Let that be a message for any other hero thinking about entering the ring with me.
[Fade to black.]
