(Backstage, Jon Z is pacing back and forth in front of an outside door. Nykk walks up behind him.)
Nykk: What did I tell you? He isn't here, is he?
Jon: Keep your thoughts to yourself for a change, this is my problem, not yours.
Nykk: That's where you're wrong, this is my problem. This is everyone's problem. You gave away our title! It's probably in a pawn shop window right now.
Jon: Just step off and let me think here, I know I can g...
(The door opens and Silver King walks into the building.)
Jon: You! Where's Crazy? I want to know right now where my champion is.
King: Calm down, gringo. Damn you're hot headed. Just relax, SC is taking a little vacation to celebrate his victory.
Jon: Vacation? Who the hell said he could take a vacation? Where is he?
King: He took a little trip down to Monteray to visit his family, you have no idea how proud they were when they found out he won a title. Don't you worry though, he has apointed me as his official ambassidor. I can speak for him on any issue.
Jon: Any issue? How's this issue? I want him to get his ass back here, the FPPVW title is for fighting champions and I want him here on my programs, defending that belt.
King: I will pass on your request as soon as possible, of course. However...
Jon: However my ass, what however?
King: However I don't know how soon I can reach him. The wires around his home are so unreliable, and his cell phone stopped working sometime last night. Such a shame. Even if I could get ahold of him today, do you know how hard it is to get short term tickets from Mexico to here? This could take a few weeks. I'll get on it though, so keep your cool, relax. Don't get all tense on me.
Jon: Just get him here fast, and get the hell out of my sight.
King: Anything for you, ese, anything.
(A newly polished version of the "Prayer" opening video plays, folowed by clips from Burn It Up set to the tune of "Crazy Train".)
Dick: It was crazy indeed this past Sunday, the insane luchadore himself Super Crazy taking the FPPVW Championship from Alan Mayse.
Tara: Thank you for joining us, on this the first FPPVW Foundation in prime time. I'm Tara Fisher.
Dick: And I'm Dick Broccoli. We're here at the FPPVW Arena in downtown Dayton Ohio, and the place is getting packed! Lets get right to the action.
("Fuel" hits and Jay Crowe makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Jay Crowe, one half of the pyro twins, in singles competition today. He seems to be in a more surly mood than usual.
Dick: One thing I've learned, Jay in a surly mood is a very dangerous thing.
("Pajamarama" hits and Huh makes his way to the ring.)
Dick: Unfortunately the man in his path is the uh...incomparable...Huh. Let's not forget what happened back in December at Darkest Night. The Pyro Twins completely demolished the Eccentrics, Huh and Cheesecake. Lets hope Huh can fare better in this one on one match.
Jay Crowe vs. Huh
(Jay attacks immediately after the bell, forcing Huh into the corner with a series of hard right hands. He whips Huh into the opposite corner and hits a hard clothesline and a series of stomps. He keeps the upper hand consistantly through the match, Huh always a little to slow to sway the momentum.)
Tara: Huh isn't faring well thus far, Jay with an early advantage.
(Jay tosses Huh outside the ring and slides out with him. He reaches under the ring while the ref goes to the outside to try and keep control. Jay picks up a small length of pipe and makes as if to hit Huh. The ref tries to pull the pipe out of his hand. As they fight over it, the ref threatening disqualification, Huh gets back in the ring and backs up against the ropes on the opposite side from Jay and the ref. He charges, about to go for a plancha, but Jay moves, hiding behind the ref. Huh tries to stop, and trips, hanging himself on the middle rope. Still hanging on to the pipe, Jay lets go suddenly and the ref stumbles back and trips. Jay slides in the ring and picks up Huh by the feet while the ref is still getting up to his feet and getting rid of the pipe. Jay kicks low on Huh and pulls him roughly to the middle of the ring, putting on a side headlock on the mat. Huh just barely breaks the hold and crawls away, only to get hit with the Overhaul for the three count.)
Winner: Jay Crowe by pin
(Jay celebrates while Cheesecake comes out to check on Huh. As the ref leaves the ring, Jay walks behind Cheesecake and rushes forward, aiming a kick to the back of his head and laying him out on top of Huh.)
Tara: Now what's the point behind that, he's already won the match.
Dick: Well what business did Cheesecake have in the ring? He wasn't part of this.
Tara: He was just checking on his partner. He was probably worried about his health.
Dick: Maybe he was just seeing if he was unconsious so he could try and
Tara: Maybe you shouldn't finish that sentence.
(Back in Jon Z's office, Jon is going through papers at a furious pace. Nykk is there.)
Nykk: So how are you going to get out of this one?
Jon: That's not your concern, you get lost? The door's over there.
Nykk: I want to make sure my confidence in this company is well founded. I'm looking after my investment.
Jon: Well you can look after it by doing your own damn job and leaving me to mine.
Nykk: How can I trust you to do your job right after last week? You just handed the belt over to a man who doesn't even bother to show his face after a huge win. Not only that but he no shows your first prime time event! This was your night, Jon. This was a victory for you! What is it now? What are you going to do to cap off this night without your champion.
Jon: Just get the hell out of here so I can think! I have a lot of paperwork to do, and I can't focus on what I'm signing! I don't even remember the last ten things I did, I might as well just hire a monkey to scribble my name for me.
Nykk: Wow, Jon. Maybe Silver King was right about something.
Jon: What?
Nykk: You really do need to relax a little.
(Commercial Break)
(Concession Boy III is setting up some t shirts in the merchandise stand when Joey Sprinklers walks up.)
Joey: Yo, look who it is.
CB3: Oh, hey there. I was hoping I'd see you. You know, I've started looking back at the old tapes, you know. I know there was kinda some bad blood between you and the last two guys that had this job, right?
Joey: You could say that, you could also say they didn't have the proper respect and deserved a skateboard embedded in thier brain.
CB3: Well, I just want to make sure we don't get off to that same bad start, you know. I got nothing against ya, I just work here, I'm not trying to make enemies, I don't need that aggrivation.
Joey: Yeah, well good. I'm the kind of enemy who really knows aggrivating.
CB3: I'm sure you do. So to show you there's no hard feelings, I had something made up, just for you.
(He picks up a small box under the counter and puts it on the counter. He opens it and lifts up a new t shirt with "Da Sprinklinator" printed on the front in gold letters.)
CB3: A prototype for your new t shirt. Its based on my own design.
Joey: Oh...well thanks. (He takes the shirt and holds it up to look at the front, showing off the back to the camera as he does, which features a caracature of Joey with a hose stuck up his ass, spitting a stream of water in the air.) I don't know what to say.
CB3: No need to say anything, man, no need.
(Joey turns to walk away and looks like he's getting ready to put the t shirt on over the one he was wearing, but in doing so he notices the back. Concession Boy III is bent over getting another box of merchandise when Joey walks back over. Concession Boy III stands back up and Joey throws the shirt over his head, blinding him while Joey grabs him by the back of the head and slams him into the merchandise table.)
Joey: Another concession freak.
(He walks away.)
(Lisa Letty is in the ring, warming up. "Faint" hits and Kai Kitta makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: Lets have someone check on Concession Boy there, he just got cheap shotted.
Dick: He got cheap shotted? Did you see that t shirt? That was a slap in the face to the Sprinklinator. That freak got what he deserved for stirring the pot.
Lisa Letty vs. Kai Kitta
(Lisa sets up early for the Letty Press, Kai rolls out of the way. Kai hits the Interceptor as Lisa gets to her feet, and covers for the pin.)
Winner: Kai Kitta by pin.
(Kai helps Lisa to her feet and they shake hands.)
Tara: Kai Kitta showing some class here tonight.
Dick: Ah, no one wants to see that.
(Back in Jon Z's office, The Pyro Twins bust in the door. Nykk is still there, leaning against the wall.)
Jay: Jon, what is going on here?
Jon: Oh, please, I'm all ears, complain. What are you here to find fault with?
Jay: How about the fact that we're going to waste here? Ever since we beat the Eccentrics at Darkest Night you haven't done jack for us. I just wrestled Huh, again. What the hell do I have to do here to end this business with those losers?
Dusty: Last Sunday you had an event called Burn It Up and you didn't even put us on the damn card!
Jon: Look, there's a lot going on, but we have more time to work with now that we're prime time. I know you're mad.
Jay: We're not mad. You'll know when we're mad.
Dusty: You'll know when we burn this place to the ground and piss on the ashes!
Jon: Well before that happens, why don't you get ready for your match with Cheesecake next!
Jay: Son of a...(he grumbles and walks away, Nykk follows them out the door)
Nykk: Hey, you know you don't have to just take that. There's ways of getting what you want around here
Dusty: Oh? What would you recomend?
Nykk: Talk to me after your match, you'd be surprised what you can get to work if you know where to start.
(Commcial Break)
(Pinky runs into Jon Z's office, looking worn out. Jon is still filling out papers and Nykk is sitting to the side reading a magazine.)
Pinky: Sorry I'm late, Huh told me we had an autograph signing, but I got to the mall and it was supposed to be last week, then the traffic was horrible and...
Jon: Okay, okay. Just get out to the ring, you missed one of your matches, but Cheesecake's up next.
Pinky: Right, thank you.
(Pinky runs out of the room.)
Nykk: Quite an attendance problem you have on your hands.
Jon: Don't you have anything better to do?
Nykk: Not really.
Jon: Well you do now. You're wrestling tonight, go get ready.
Nykk: Go get ready? I'm always ready. More than I can say for the status of this company when a crisis comes up.
Jon: Just get out of my office, at least give me some time to finish this paperwork.
Nykk: Fine fine, but I'll be back. You better start thinking your way out of this mess though, you can't rely on me for all the answers.
(Cheesecake is in the ring, Pinky running down the aisle and joining him. "Fuel" hits and Dusty Schneble makes his way to the ring, Jay Crowe following shortly after.)
Tara: The Pyro Twins seem aggrivated that they're still dealing with this strange team of Huh and Cheesecake.
Dick: Well they do have a point. Thus far these two have been very underutilized.
Tara: And now Cheesecake has to take the brunt of thier annoyance.
Dusty Schneble vs. Cheesecake
(Dusty keeps Cheesecake on the ground throughout the match. A few times Jay gets close to getting in the ring, but Pinky is able to get the refs attention and prevent it. Cheesecake crawls up to his feet using the ropes. Dusty whips him to the other side of the ring and follows. Cheesecake ducks a clothesline and keeps running, hitting a high dropkick on the rebound. Dusty rolls out of the ring and recovers quickly, confering with Jay.)
(He gets back in the ring and the two square off, approaching each other cautiously. Dusty gets impatient and charges forward with a right hand, Cheesecake ducks under and tries a quick roll up for a two count. Dusty kicks out and gets to his feet, stomping the hell out of Cheesecake, who is slower to stand. He signals for the Rope Burn and pulls Cheesecake to his feet. Before he can try for the Rope Burn he sees Pinky up on the apron. The ref is distracted, and Jay runs around the ring to try and pull her away. Cheesecake hits a quick low blow on Dusty, and as he's bent over Cheesecake applies a front face lock. As soon as the ref turns back to the match Cheesecake hits the Long Kiss Goodnight for the three count.)
Winner: Cheesecake by pin.
Tara: Dusty got frustrated there, and it led to him losing this match.
Dick: Frustrated? That's not what I'd be if that freak just hit me downstairs like that. Cheesecake stole this win, plain and simple.
(Simon Diamond walks into Jon's office)
Simon: Jon, Simon's got a problem.
Jon: Simon, Jon's got a lot of work to do.
Simon: Simon says, that a pile of papers can't compare to the importance of this request.
(For emphasis, he swipes one of the piles of papers and tosses it to the floor.)
Jon: Okay, Simon. I'll bite, what the hell do you want?
Simon: Simon only wants what Simon has earned, his spotlight, his time on top, his big matches.
Jon: Is that it? You want matches? You think you can come in here and disrupt my office to tell me you want a damn match? Tell you what I'll do for you, pick up those damn papers, put them on my desk, get the hell out of my sight, and I'll see about getting you what you deserve.
(Simon bends down and picks up the papers, arranging them neatly on the corner of Jon's desk.)
Simon: All Simon needs is the opporotunity to shine.
(He walks away.)
Jon: Simon needs to stay out of Jon's office before Jon puts a foot up Simon's ass...who am I talking to?
(A Naomi Leach video is shown before the commercial break.)
(Joey Sprinkers is walking backstage toward Jon's office, but he stops when he sees there's a line outside the door. The Pyro Twins, Vix, J.R. Ryder, Swinger, Austin Lee, Cynric, and Precious Lucy are standing single file, and at the end of the line is a man in a baseball cap slumped over in a chair asleep.)
Joey: Hey, you there. What's your name again? What's the deal with the line? (He waits for a response, none is given.) Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Hey people, what's the problem? I need to talk to Jon.
Cynric: Join the club, its going to be awhile.
Joey: Oh, go ahead, talk back to me like that again, it'll be hazardous to your health.
Austin: Shut the hell up, numbnuts, we all have our problems here, the line forms that way. (Pointing to the back of the line.)
Joey: Damn it.
(Joey walks to the back of the line and stands behind the sleeping man. He looks back and forth to see if anyone's watching and slowly moves ahead of him. He stands there for a few moments before someone else stands in line behind him and the sleeping man. Joey looks back, afraid someone had seen him cut, and locks eyes with Concession Boy Sr.)
CBS: Miss me?
(Concession Boy Sr. attacks Joey, ramming him against the wall a few times and fighting off camera. J.R. Ryder looks over at Vix.)
Ryder: Aren't you that guy's manager? Why don't you go help him?
Vix: Oh, so you can get ahead of me? Nice try.
(Aki Mann suddenly runs past the line and bursts into the office.)
Aki: There's been an unbelievable catastrophy of epic proportions!
Jon: Oh?
Aki: Oh? That's all you have to say is oh? Don't you get what I'm trying to say, something terrible has happened.
Jon: And now comes the point where you tell me what it is and I get on with my life.
Aki: Did you know...that Super Crazy hasn't shown up? Who know where he's dissapeared to with the FPPVW title? I think he's been kidnapped by the forces of evil and...
Jon: Get out of my office.
Aki: But what are we going to do about the evil forces at work.
Jon: I'd be more worried about the forces of the people you just cut in front of.
(The line of people from outside filter inside and surround Aki, starting to pull him outside as he screams.)
Jon: Your match is next by the way.
(Jon's office empties and he calmly goes back to filling out his paperwork.)
("Sad But True" hits and Kevin Stone makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: I'd say Aki Mann hasn't been acting quite right lately, but he never really did.
Dick: But is he going to make it out for this match? That mob might of eaten him.
(Aki Mann's theme hits and Austin Lee, Vix, and Swinger walk out to the ring, dragging Aki Mann with them. They toss him into the ring and Vix stays at ringside while Austin and Swinger leave.)
Kevin Stone vs. Aki Mann
(Kevin Stone makes short work of Aki, while Aki is spending most of his time spouting off nonsensical ramblings and trying to get out of the ring. Kevin hits a chokeslam for the three count.)
Winner: Kevin Stone by pin.
(Commercial Break)
(The crowd inside Jon Z's office has grown, now containing the entire roster in attendance, all talking at once whiles Jon sits quietly, putting his now finished paperwork away.)
Jon: If you could all just shut up and wait your turn, maybe I could figure out what the hell you want, but if you're all going to yell at me at once, you might as well get out of here right now and stop wasting my time.
Austin: When the hell am I getting my next match on tv?
Simon: Simon wants his break.
Joey: Those damn Concession Boys are pissing me off.
Nykk: None of this will be important anyway until we get the FPPVW Championship back in Ohio.
Cynric: I'm tired of kicking around the shrimps on preshows, I want to see some real challenges.
Jon: Shut up, shut up, for the love of everything good in the world shut up!
(Huh forces his way through the crowd.)
Huh: Can I have a drink of water?
Jon: That's it! Everyone get the f*** out of my f***ing office! Get out! Get out! Get out!
(The crowd disperses, the sleeping man is laying in the middle of the floor snoring.)
Jon: Okay you can stay, but keep it down, will you?
("My Way" hits and Nykk makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Just out of Jon's office and out to the ring, Nykk is set to wrestle in our final match here on this episode of Foundation.
Dick: Hey, Jon never did say who his opponent was.
("Wherever I May Roam" hits and Ronin Fox walks down the aisle.)
Dick: Fox? Nykk just beat Fox this past Sunday at Burn it Up, why did Jon book this match?
(Nykk gets a microphone.)
Tara: Crap.
Nykk: You know, Fox. I might have been upset about being put in another match with you, but I realize something now. This is all about beginings, new beginings. You and I, we paved the way here for FPPVW. We fought at the first event we ever had, and for months afterward. We wrestled the main event at the first Foundation ever. Here we are now, the first Foundation in prime time, I can't think of a better way to make this new begining than beating you down like I did on Sunday.
Nykk vs. Ronin Fox
(The match begins like a continuation of the match from Sunday, Nykk starting off with a speed based attack, running the ropes and trying to keep Fox off balance. Fox has the attack better scouted this time, and is able to take control early on following a flying headscisors. Nykk rolls outside and gets up on the apron. Fox tries to reach for him, but Nykk sends a shoulder through the ropes to his midsection. Nykk goes for a sunset flip, but Fox holds on to the ropes and squats down. He lets go of the ropes and gets a two count before Nykk rolls Fox down and off him, turning it into a cover for a two count of his own.)
(Silver King walks down to the ring.)
Tara: What's Silver King doing down here?
Dick: Well he's the official representative of our FPPVW Champion. Perhaps he's just here to scout the competition.
Tara: Somehow I doubt that.
(Nykk slides out of the ring and gets in Silver King's face. The ref starts the count. Fox follows Nykk out and attacks Nykk from behind and starts brawling back toward the ring. Kevin Stone comes back out to the ring and steps in front of Silver King.)
(In the ring, Fox hits a hard clothesline in the corner and backs up, signaling for the Tail End. He goes for the move, but Nykk reverses into a northern lights suplex and bridges for the cover. He grabs the rope and gets a two count, Silver King runs past Kevin and pulls Nykk's hand off the rope and pushes the pin attempt over to break it. The ref reprimands Silver King and Nykk pokes his head through the ropes and tries to grab him by the hair. King stays far enough back to avoid him. Fox backs up and looks like he's about to go for a plancha to take out both Kevin and King, but the ref turns and stops him. Meanwhile, Kevin picks up a chair and sneaks behind King. Nykk is still half out of the ring yelling at King when Kevin swings, King hears Kevin and ducks. Nykk gets the chair to the head and is knocked back into the ring, Fox covers for the three count.)
Winner: Ronin Fox by pin.
Tara: Fox gets the win, thanks to Kevin trying to stop King from helping Fox, which I doubt Fox wanted anyway.
Dick: My head hurts, but not as much as Nykk's I'd bet.
(Nykk is out cold in the ring, Kevin gets in the ring and looks at him with a fearful look on his face. He gets closer and nudges Nykk with his foot to see if he's awake.)
Tara: Thank you for joining us on our first Foundation in prime time, for Dick Broccoli, this is Tara Fisher, good night Dayton.
