CHAPTER 3: REAPER’S RUNDOWN (OCW VOL. 1)

[The screen fades back to show two figures: SULLY SPHINX and TOMMY LEE. They are both sitting down and talking while the microphones eventually come on. Sully looks almost exactly like his counterpart of Death from
the earlier fight, but much more cleaned up. Tom is there in street clothes that include an OCW t-shirt. Sully nods
and looks at the camera.]

Sully: Now that was a classic from the old days. You know what’s changed between now and then? Absolutely nothing and I love it.

TL: Wouldn’t have it any other way, soon enough the OCW will be coming back from a long absence and premiere on The Enigma Network.

Sully: That’s right! We have the money, the gear, the airtime and – my favorite – the people. Some of these people have been training for years to get where they are today and OCW begins the first day of the rest of their lives. This is my time: called Reaper’s Rundown: where we all talk about what is going on in the world of wrestling and give our opinions.

TL: Yes, so we have been touring alongside our sister promotion of HXW for a few months now to get everything ready. Since then we have established all champions and divisions, we are all about wrestling here and we would be
doing you a disservice if we did not try for the best.

Sully: Our divisions include the OCW Title, of course, but have an interesting Tag Team, Xtreme and Vixens division. I love these, each one brings with them a whole different element to the show. The Xtreme division itself is crazy.

TL: Not to be confused with the hardcore division that we do not do, the Xtreme Title is all about mastery of various match types. Not until the beginning of the match do we reveal what match type the belt will be defended. It could be
a ladder match, dumpster match, battle royal or even first blood. The possibilities are endless.

Sully: What about a drinking contest?

TL: Totally possible!

Sully: Then let’s introduce everyone to the OCW’s Xtreme Champion!

[Fade to black]

SPOTLIGHT
Name: Doug Konway (Xtreme Champion)
Stable/Team: Blood Angels
Signature Move: Super Kick
Personal Quote: “Praise him, for he is our lord”

[Fade in to show DOUG KONWAY on a different set with just a black background. He is holding the Xtreme Title Belt and wearing a white robe.]

Konway: To everyone watching this, I will take the title to let everyone know that this is more than a title run. This is a statement to all that God favors me. I serve the lord and his father and I have been blessed due to it. So
listen well disbelievers, God is watching us all and will only reward the most faithful. So I beg you, please, do away with your sinful needs and join me. You know not what you do and if you do not join me, we must take action. With this title, I further the cause for my leader and will not let any of it go to waste. Heed my words, Damien Cross is the way to salvation and you must follow him as I do or else.

[Konway looks upward as he begins to pray. Fade out and back to Sully and Tommy.]

Sully: Tom, what are your feelings toward the Blood Angels?

TL: Some call them saints and the others call them bullies that use religion as an excuse. I call them a dominant team that does what it takes to get what they want. That is why leader Damien Cross and his enforcer, “The Demon”
Baal, currently hold the Tag Titles.

Sully: I think they’re overqualified to hold those belts, the Tag Division should be about getting the new guys over that first hill. Instead these guys are holding the belts, what gives?

TL: Well let’s show these viewers just how powerful they can be.

[Fade out and into the ringside area where a match is about to start.]

OCW Tag Titles Match
Damien/Baal (c) vs. Ted Thomas/Mugen

[The bell rings.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Welcome back for some more OCW Wrestling. This is Billy Winn along with Big Julius here.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Sup? We are about to see some tag team action up in here. Tag Titles on the line!

[Mugen and Baal start the match as the legal men. Mugen is hopping around as he walks to Baal and offers him a handshake. Than fans give a mixed/confused reaction]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Umm, how new is this guy?

[Baal looks confused and slowly does the handshake. The fans cheer respectively as the
two grapple.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): I nice show of respect by two clearly powerful opponents.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Billy, Baal is clearly bigger than Mugen here. Unless he has super strength, he’s gonna need Teddy’s help on that guy alone.

[Baal shoves Mugen back and walks over. MUGEN WITH A SCOOP SLAM!! The fans cheer loud as the big man known as Baal gets up in disbelief.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Okay, the young guy has super strength.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): I’m speechless.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Then let’s see him do it again.

[Baal is back up and comes in with a right, Mugen ducks and gives an axe handle to Baal’s side. Baal isn’t affected at all and connects with an elbow to the head. Mugen backs away and Baal follows. Irish Whip and Mugen bounces off the ropes only to hold on; Baal charges after and MILITARY PRESS SLAM BY MUGEN!!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): OMG AGAIN!

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Damn!

[The fans erupt again as Damien and Ted are in awe while Mugen slams Baal over the top rope and out of the ring. Mugen looks winded now and tags in Ted Thomas. Ted stays on the apron while Baal gets up]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Oh dear, what is Ted Thomas going for?

[Ted with a hurricanrana only for Baal to counter with a toss back into the ring. Baal gets onto the apron and TED DROP KICKS HIM OFF!! Damien is pissed as he yells commands at Baal while Baal slides back into the ring.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Now what is the bond exactly?

Billy (OFF SCREEN): No idea, but Baal follows orders the best he can.

[Ted with a kick to the head as Baal gets up, Baal responds by pushing Ted aside and tagging in Damien.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Here comes the leader!

[Damien enters and gives Baal more commands.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Yet he’s still ordering him around?

[Ted kicks Damien in the gut and begins pounding on his back. Damien pushes him back, but Ted Thomas comes right back in with a clothesline that connects.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Billy, for all you know, Damien could have been telling Baal that he did well.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): I doubt that.

[Damien gets right back up and connects with a clothesline of his own. Ted Thomas gets
to his knees and receives a KICK TO THE HEAD by Damien Cross.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): AH! I felt that from here.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Can we get a replay?

[A replay of the kick is played as Ted slowly gets up, but he is dazed as he heads back to Damien. A head butt by Damien brings Ted down. Damien with the pin.]

1... Ted kicks out.

[Damien gets Ted on his stomach and drives a knee into the man’s side a few times. Damien gets Ted to his feet, sets him up and snap suplex.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Ted Thomas needs to make a tag or something.

[Damien taunts the crowd by doing his cross pose, getting booed in the process.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): That’s just disrespectful in my opinion.

[Damien looks at Mugen and laughs saying, “You tired yourself out? So soon?” Damien sets Ted up for the Judgement Hammer (Jackhammer Suplex) and it connects. Damien with the pin while Baal holds Mugen back]

1...2...3!!

[The bell rings as music begins to play.]

Lance (OFF SCREEN): The winners of this match and still OCW Tag Team Champions: Damien Cross and Baal, The Blood Angels!!

[Damien laughs as Mugen pulls Ted out of the ring. The camera fades as Baal takes both Title Belts and fades back in to show]

SPOTLIGHT
Group Name: The Blood Angels
Participants: Damien Cross, Baal, Doug Konway, Lita Walters and John Walters
Personal Quote: “We are the way, save your souls”

[Damien’s laugh can be heard as his fellow members watch him from behind. Lita, Konway, Damien and Baal all have title belts.]

Damien: I would like to take the time to show my thanks to all of those that support me and pledge their souls to the cause. This world is in peril as people are corrupting themselves and others at surprisingly younger ages each and every year. When was the last time you heard your child say “thank you?” When was the last time you heard of someone that had not been divorced and is living a happily married life under God? That number dwindles down with every moment we stand here, which is why we are here. Konway, our Xtreme Champion, believes in our cause.

Konway: Praise him!!

Damien: Lita and John Walters, two siblings that had their parents taken from them for reasons that were not their faults, they fight for our cause.

Lita: Praise him!

[John applauds as Lita holds up her Vixens Title.]

Damien: Lita, your role is most important to the cause. The Vixens, women of the OCW who are not afraid to bleed, they see you as the best.

Lita: I fight for me and my family. For years, my brother and I have fought to survive doing whatever we can. Damien, we are forever grateful for all of your help and will fight for the cause.

John: Yeah man, righteous!

[Awkward silence]

Damien: However, my right hand should never go unnoticed. The demon known as Baal here is my most devoted follower and will always do whatever I say.

[Baal nods and keeps his head down. ZACK TOBIAS shows up standing next to Damien. The entire group takes a step back.]

Zack: Hi Damien.

Damien: Tobias…

Zack: I have been listening to your words, great stuff.

Damien: Thank you.

Zack: Yeah, but you have an issue: there’s nobody here holding the OCW Title. I mean, either one of you guys is planning to hold two titles or you expect John here to do it.

John: Ummm no?

Zack: See? Your cause is struggling because of that.

[Damien takes a moment to think about it]

Damien: You have my attention.

Zack: You need a contender for that title, I am a contender that wants the belt.

Konway (Interrupting): You represent chaos and destruction.

Zack: I represent kicking your ass if you step to me. That goes to anyone here, because I am chaos personified. Step to me and I will take you out, that’s what I do: I take bitches out.

[Silence]

Damien: So you wish to join us?

Zack: Yeah, I want the title and you want to spread your good word. You help me and I’ll help you.

[Damien nods]

Damien: I like it.

Konway (Interrupting): Him with us?

John: That’s awesome.

[Damien laughs as he and Zack Tobias shake hands.]

Damien: We will be stronger than ever, for we are the way.

[Back to Sully and Tom]

TL: Nice

Sully: Nice? The Blood Angels were a major power already, now Zack Tobias is with them? Now Damien will never shut up.

TL: You don’t think you can take them?

Sully: I have my plate full already Tom; you’re looking at the man that will be fighting for the OCW Title. Our big event, Lethal Lotto, I will be fighting this so-called champion and see if he really does deserve the belt.

TL: Genuin, notable for being a mixed martial artist and actor, is that champion and has been since OCW restarted.

Sully: Yeah he’s defended the belt against guys like Marvin Keith and Zack Tobias, but nobody like me.

TL: He did recently also defend against Kristy.

Sully: Kristy is hard to describe, let alone face in the ring. The OCW Vixens, our female division, was created by her and she represents. She is the only girl in OCW that fights the men and wins.

[The camera pans to the side to show GENUIN behind Sully. Genuin is wearing a gray suit and has the OCW Title Belt on his shoulder.]

Genuin: I could have gotten you right there. You wouldn’t have even seen it coming.

Sully: What’s to see? Tom, is he hooked up to wires? I want to know how far I can throw him.

[Genuin laughs as Sully turns around to face him]

Genuin: That’s funny; I’m the best this promotion has to offer. See the belt? This belt says I am the best here.

Sully: Hey that’s my belt; you’re just holding it until our match.

Genuin: Maybe I’ll knock some sense into you.

Sully: Good luck, Tom’s entire family has been trying to do that for years. It never goes well, I end up getting bored and we all take a nap.

[They stare down as the camera zooms in on them.]

TL (Off Screen): These two will be fighting at
Lethal Lotto! Don’t miss our big premier of OCW
War on the Enigma Network. We’re going to end
with this last match.

[The camera fades out and back into the ringside area.]

OCW Title Submission Match
Genuin (c) vs. Kristy

[Genuin hands his belt over to the referee. He then asks for a mic and gets one.]

Genuin: Making this clear right now, after tonight, you will all look at me like the great champion that I am.

[There’s a quick shot of Sully, watching in front row. Kristy walks over to Genuin.]

You want to say something?

[Kristy answers with a right hand to the face and the fans cheer. Genuin turns into the corner, exposing his back. The bell rings as Kristy delivers a hard knee straight into his spine.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Kristy isn’t holding back tonight.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Title on the line.

[Kristy attacks with a few forearms to the head of the champion. Genuin gets his footing back and gets a European uppercut in the process.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Good save by Genuin.

[Genuin leans against the corner and goes to kick Kristy, Kristy blocks and BLATANT LOW BLOW!!]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): OH! That had to hurt.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Totally legal, only way to lose is to tap out.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Did people really need to be told?

Billy (OFF SCREEN): I don’t know.

[Genuin falls over and rolls out of the ring. Both are getting mixed reactions from fans as Genuin tries to recover his strength.]

Genuin just cannot win over the fans.

[Kristy gets to the top rope and A MOONSAULT!]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): OH! Damn that was nice.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): The champ is down!

[Genuin is on his back and Kristy is taking control. She applies a choke hold and follows up with a head butt.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): This may not bode well for Genuin. Kristy is hungry for blood.

[Kristy goes for a steel chair and gets one, Genuin gets to his knees.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Totally legal, she can do this.

[Kristy charges and GENUIN DROP KICKS THE CHAIR AWAY! Kristy backs a little, but
heads right back to him and they grapple. Genuin gets the advantage and OVERHEAD
BELLY TO BELLY ONTO THE COMMENTARY TABLE!!]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): DAMN!!

[Billy and Julius are seen standing up as Genuin takes the advantage by dropping a few elbows onto her head. Genuin then sets her up for an elevated DDT and IT HITS HARD!!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Thankfully our equipment is not down. I think we’re good now.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Kristy may not come back from that.

[Genuin applies a headlock only to learn from the referee that the submission must be made inside the ring. Genuin releases the hold, grabs Kristy by the head and gets her up. Genuin is about to toss Kristy back into the ring,
but tosses her back onto the commentary table instead.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Whoa!

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Watch where you’re throwing!

[Genuin gets onto the table and sets Kristy up for HOLLYWOOD DREAMS (Double Arm Implant DDT)!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Hollywood Dreams!

[Kristy counters with a high heel rear kick to the face of the champion and is released. Genuin goes to grab her but Kristy counters with THE WIDOWER (Reverse STO followed by Koji Clutch)!!]

Widower!

Julius (OFF SCREEN): I know!

[Kristy tightens the submission hold as the referee tells Kristy that submissions must be in the ring; she keeps cranking anyway. Genuin tries to fight by dragging over the edge of the table, but cannot get anywhere.]

C’mon Genuin, get out!

[Genuin is about to tap out and the fans are cheering louder, the champion has no choice and HE TAPS OUT!!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): He’s tapping out! It doesn’t count but the OCW Champion is tapping out to Kristy!

[The fans celebrate the unofficial win while Kristy cranks one more time before letting go. Kristy cheers on the fans a bit while Genuin recovers right away, second wind style, and HOLLYWOOD DREAMS ON THE TABLE!! The table does not break.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Now that’s a comeback. You can’t fake a comeback Billy.

[Genuin rolls off of the table, now fully recovered. Kristy is now being dragged toward the apron and is rolled back into the ring. Genuin grabs the steel chair and enters the ring as well.]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): That chair has bad news all over it.

[Genuin connects with several chair shots to Kristy’s back. The fans are booing the champion as he goes to the middle rope, aims for Kristy’s spine, he takes to the air with the chair ready to be driven in and he MISSES!]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Close call, now what?

[Kristy gets right to her knees. Genuin swings the chair again, Kristy catches him. Genuin tries to fight it, but he cannot. Kristy hits the EYE OPENER (Moonsault Side Slam)!!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): They’re in the ring and Kristy just hit her signature move! We may have a new champion!

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Yeah, but both are spent.

[Both are now down and recovering. Slowly, both begin to get to their feet. Genuin is up first, he walks to Kristy and KRISTY GOES FOR THE WIDOWER!!]

Billy (OFF SCREEN): There it is!

[She nearly has it on him, but he has his arm up against Kristy’s leg in order to keep it from being locked in. Kristy lets go and runs right to the ropes, she springboards for PRESTIGE (Springboard moonsault double-knee take down), but Genuin dodges it.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Almost had it.

[Kristy lands on her feet and Genuin with an inverted spin kick, Kristy dodges and charges in and SLEEPER HOLD BY GENUIN!]

Oh an oldie but a goody!

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Sleeper hold by the Champion, can he do it? It won’t be a
submission, but a KO would be considered a loss either way.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): That makes no sense.

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Old rule, nobody ever changed it.

[Fans are both booing and cheering as Genuin does everything to keep Kristy in the ring and in the hold. Kristy attacks with elbows and kicks out his knees. Genuin and Kristy fall over with the hold still locked in. Kristy is fading and the referee checks on her. The referee raises her arm once, twice and a shocking third time. The bell rings.]

Julius (OFF SCREEN): Damn old rules.

[A pretty tame reaction from the fans as Genuin releases the hold.]

Lance (OFF SCREEN): The winner of this match and still OCW champion, GENUIN!!

Billy (OFF SCREEN): Kristy threw everything out there tonight; she deserves all sorts of praise.

Julius (OFF SCREEN): I was feeling the match, I think both did great. I just don’t like the ending.

[Sully applauds both combatants as Genuin and Kristy both lay there, both looking spent.

Oh what the hell.

[Julius gets up as well and applauds. Billy soon does as well as the screen fades to black.]
