(Nykk walks into Jon Z's office. Jon is behind his desk waiting.)
Jon: About time you showed up.
Nykk: What did you want.
Jon: I want to make sure we're clear on something, something you seem to have forgotten. Remember back in July, the first four way dance for the FPPVW title?
Nykk: It rings a bell.
Jon: I gave you the okay on something that day. Do you remember that?
Nykk: You told me to take Jett Taylor out, and that I should use the Aurora Driver if I had the opporotunity. What's with the history lesson?
Jon: I told you that I didn't want Jett Taylor as champion, that he didn't have the proper respect for the business or FPPVW. Then I saw what you did to him. I saw the effects of the Aurora Driver and I banned it on the spot.
Nykk: I know you're going somewhere with this. Let me guess, you're going to jump on my back for using the Aurora Driver of Fox? Tell me, Jon...what does a banned maneuver mean in the context of a no disqualification match? To me, that means...fair game.
Jon: Perhaps, but it also means something else. It means, "loose cannon." And a loose cannon isn't someone you put into main events.
Nykk: Now hold on!
Jon: Sorry, but you proved yourself to be unpredictable and potentially dangerous. How could I in my right mind put you into the ring with any champion ever again?
Nykk: You don't know what you're saying.
Jon: Well I think I have an idea, and here's something I really enjoy saying. Get out of my office!
Nykk: This isn't over. This sure as hell isn't over.
("Prayer" opening. "Let's All Go to the Lobby" hits and the Concession Boyz make thier way to the ring.)
Tara: Welcome to Foundation, we're here at ringside ready to start the show while Nykk is backstage fuming.
Dick: Jon can't do that to Nykk! Nykk is a pioneer in this company, a true driving force. He deserves a shot at the FPPVW title! You can't just keep talent like that down.
Tara: No one can deny that Nykk is a great talent, but if he can't control himself he's just too risky to put into the ring.
Dick: Based on what? Why do you think he's too risky? He took things too far in a version of a Texas Death Match? That's where you're supposed to take things too far.
("Pajamarama" hits and The Eccentrics make their way to the ring, accompanied by Pinky.)
Tara: I've seen the Eccentrics backstage, they are focussed and on the lookout. The Pyro Twins have been on thier case lately.
("Last week" footage of the Pyro Twins attacking the Eccentrics is shown.)
Eccentrics vs. Concession Boyz
(Concession Boy III locks up with Cheesecake, who gets a waistlock and starts doing a bump and grind dance. CB3 panics and kicks back, hitting a low blow. The ref doesn't see it, but questions CB3 as he runs to tag in Sr. Cheesecake crawls to the corner and tags in Huh. Huh locks up with Sr. and Sr. hits an armdrag. Huh keeps rolling, ending up in the corner after the third roll. He gets up, using the ropes to climb. He seems disoriented, and isn't looking at Sr. Sr. charges, but Huh stumbles out of the corner, still seeming unawhere of what Sr. is doing. He turns around and sees Sr. down. He pauses for a second and runs for the corner, and hits the Huhsault for a three count.)
Winner: Eccentrics by pin.
Tara: The Eccentrics have regained thier footing it seems after getting knocked off balance last week.
Dick: They have the momentum going into thier next tournament match. That match will be a three way dance, The Eccentrics, the Concession Boyz, and the losers in the match we are going to see at the end of tonight. Either Austin Lee and Cody Hawk, or the team of Cynric and his partner, whoever he could sucker into that.
Tara: Also on the show tonight. The Pyro Twins will be in action and Joey Sprinklers faces Swinger in a rematch from last week. Stay with us.
(Commercial Break)
(Kai Kitta is backstage, getting something to drink from a catering table. Kara Draxus walks by.)
Kara: Well hell, Kai. Enjoying the tame life?
Kai: Wha? Oh it's you. What are you talking about?
Kara: Just wondering what it's like being taken out of the spotlight. How does it feel?
Kai: Still can't quite get my head around what you're saying.
Kara: What've you been doing? You were one of the finalists in the Ladies FPPVW tournament, and you've just been letting yourself turn into Naomi Leach's little pet.
Kai: Pet?
Kara: A few weeks ago I had a title match, sharing my chance with Jade. What has Jade done to deserve a title shot that you haven't? Don't get me wrong, it's not like I respect you or anything. I'm just curious about what its like to be pushed to the bottom so unfairly.
(Kara smiles insincerely and walks by)
("Am I Evil" hits and Los Villanos make thier way to the ring.)
Tara: I hate to say it, but Kara Draxus just made a very good point. Kai Kitta is one of the best female wrestlers in the business, let alone FPPVW, and yet she hasn't had a title shot since the tournament finals.
Dick: And you find that unfair? A talented wrestler being kept from a title is unfair in your eyes? Yet you can still defend Jon Z as he unfairly keeps Nykk out of the main event, how interesting.
Tara: Kai has never used a banned maneuver to try and purposefully cripple someone.
("Fuel" hits and the Pyro Twins make thier way to the ring.)
Dick: The Pyro Twins are in a foul mood as usual.
Tara: They hate the fact that Jon Z set up a tournament for new tag team champions. They've been taking thier anger out mainly on the Eccentrics, last week Los Villanos just got in the way.
Los Villanos vs. The Pyro Twins
(Jay dominates the match against V, hitting the Overhaul early and covering for a two count. He pulls V's shoulders up before three and drags him to the corner, stomping him down and tagging in Dusty.)
Tara: Now that's enough, you had the match won right there.
Dick: They just want to make sure the right message is sent.
(Dusty continues the beatdown, going for the Rope Burn. V struggles and reverses into a DDT. He crawls for his corner, Dusty grabs his foot and pulls him back to the center of the ring. V gets to his feet and Dusty tries to throw a right hand. V ducks and rakes Dusty's eyes. He gives Jay the finger, and Jay tries to rush him. The ref holds Jay back and IV gets in the ring. They hit a double spinebuster on Dusty, V slides out. IV whips Dusty to the corner and hits a handspring back elbow followed by a bulldog. He covers for two. Frustrated, he pulls Dusty and and tries to hit a DDT. Dusty blocks and lifts IV up for the Rope Burn, covering for the pin.)
Winner: The Pyro Twins by pin.
(Commercial Break)
(Huh is pacing backstage. Cheesecake walks up to him.)
Cheesecake: Helooo. What'th going on?
Huh: I got a call after the match. He's coming for a visit.
Cheesecake: He?
Huh: Who?
Cheesecake: Who's he?
Huh: You know, he's...(He notices the sleeping man in a chair nearby.) Hey...uh...you. Have you seen anyone new around?
Sleeping Man: (snorts)
Huh: Let me know, would ya?
(Suddenly a strange song starts playing, recognizable as the haunting Torgo theme. Torgo walks in.)
Torgo: Good da-ay to...you.
Cheesecake: What the fu...
Huh: I'm glad you could make it, we felt kind of bad leaving you behind like that.
Torgo: The MAster was...displeased withme. It to-oo-ok some time to get...away from him. Screw that...freak show.
Huh: Well you're welcome to come here and work with us.
Cheesecake: He i'th...I mean he i'th?
(Cheesecake pulls Huh aside.)
Cheesecake: Are you sure about thi'th? I mean, we can't hire anyone into the company after we already got Pinky a job, and we can't afford to pay him our'th'elves.
Huh: He works for food.
Cheesecake: And I th'uppo'th'e you will actually give up th'ome of your'th for him?
Huh: Well...Let's at least try it. I mean look at him. Can you say no to those puppy dog eyes?
(Torgo is holding what appear to be eyes.)
Torgo: These came...out of a poodle!
Cheesecake: I can't believe I'm about to th'ay thi'th...I'm going to be a good influen'the on th'omeone.
("Simon Says" hits and Swinger makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: What did...
Dick: Just let it go.
Tara: But what the hell did we just...
Dick: Just let it go.
Tara: Anyway...back to the ring. This is going to be a rematch from last week. Swinger stole a victory from Joey Sprinklers on our last episode.
("Last Week" footage is shown.)
("Hit That" hits and Joey Sprinklers makes his way to the ring.)
Swinger vs. Joey Sprinklers
(Swinger sets up for the Swing Thing early. Joey blocks but gets caught with the Swinger Stinger instead. Swinger covers but Joey gets a foot on the rope.)
(Swinger pulls Joey up and pushes him into the corner. He hits a splash in the corner and goes outside, getting a microphone.)
Tara: What is he doing?
Dick: This is just a confusing night.
Swinger: Dayton Ohio! Swinger's got a problem!
Tara: When is that not true?
Swinger: This fool in the ring thinks that he can bring Swinger down! He blames Swinger for him losing in the tag team tournament! Well Swinger says it's time to end this!
(Swinger slides in the ring and runs right into Da Sprinklinator. Joey hooks the tights and gets a three count.)
Winner: Joey Sprinklers by pin.
Tara: Swinger just payed the price for talking when it was time for action.
Dick: This ties Joey and Swinger up, one win apiece. Is this going to be the end of it then?
Tara: We'll know soon enough. We're getting set for our main event here, keeping the FPPVW Tag Team Tournament going. Austin Lee and Cody Hawk are going to take on Cynric and a mystery partner.
Dick: Ronin Fox was taken out of the tournament due to his injuries from Gauntlet, so Cynric's been left on his own. Do you really think Cynric could find a partner?
Tara: Do I think he could find someone in the back who'd be willing to try for a shot at the FPPVW Tag Team Championship? I think so.
Dick: Hey, get it right, those are the "Ohio" Tag Team Championships, or as I call them the "Fake" Tag Team Championships.
Tara: We have to take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back.
(Commercial Break)
(Zac Hensley knocks on the door of a locker room, Cynric answers the door.)
Zac: Cynric, your match in the FPPVW Tag Team Tournament is up next, and we still don't know who your partner is. Can you clue us in, has a partner been chosen?
Cynric: A partner has been chosen.
Zac: Okay...can you tell us...
Cynric: Why don't you ask him yourself?
(Silver King walks behind Zac and yells.)
Silver King: Wuuaaggghhh!
Zac: Ahh!
Cynric: Come on in, we've got to figure out our strategy.
(Silver King walks around Zac and goes into the locker room. Elsewhere, Kai Kitta is walking though the hall. She sees Naomi Leach and runs to catch up.)
Kai: Naomi. Naomi, I have to talk to you.
Naomi: Okay, what is it?
Kai: When's my shot?
Naomi: Your shot?
Kai: It's been months since I had a match for the Ladies FPPVW Title. You said I was welcome to another chance. I know we've become friends, but I want that chance.
Naomi: I knew you would, and well, I was looking forward to it. But I don't think you're ready. You know, I don't want you to think I'm just trying to keep my spot, that's not what I'm about. I just want to make sure whoever takes my spot next is prepared to be the best wrestler they can be.
Kai: So why are you defending your belt against everyone else and not me?
Naomi: Kai...I see so much potential in you. I want to help you, help you grow in this business. It's going to be hard to do that if you're breathing down my neck and trying to take my title. Just wait a while, we'll work together okay?
Kai: We'll talk about this again.
(She walks away, leaving Naomi behind.)
(A video about Alan Mayse is shown to the tune of Seven Nation Army, highlighting his recapturing of the FPPVW Title and title defenses since then.)
(Commercial Break)
(Cody Hawk opens the door of a locker room and walks in, Austin Lee is warming up.)
Cody: Austin, we're up.
(They walk out of the room and down a hallway.)
Cody: You focussed?
Austin: Always.
Cody: You sure? I don't want your mind on other titles. You worry about your title match at WrestlingRevolution another time, make sure your mind is on the tournament here.
Austin: I got it, I got it.
("The Way I Am" hits and Austin Lee and Cody Hawk make thier way to the ring.)
Dick: It's time for the Tag Tournament to get back into full swing, this team of Cody Hawk and Austin Lee is making a huge impact here. I could easlily see them making it all the way.
Tara: They have been impressive thus far, and with one half of them still riding high off the win in the first ever Four Corners Gauntlet, they just may have the momentum the need to power thier way to the finals.
("Soul Creation" hits and Cynric and Silver King make thier way to the ring.)
Austin Lee and Cody Hawk vs. Cynric and Silver King
(Cody carries the match for his team, Austin seeming increasingly distracted and uninterested. Cody time and again reaches for a tag and is cut off before reaching the corner. Austin doesn't even reach for the tag. Cynric keeps Cody grounded, hitting a series of knees to the head and midsection. He tags in Silver King who immediately goes for a moonsault. Cody rolls out of the way and gets to his corner. He tags in Austin and practically drags him into the ring. They start arguing, and Silver King is able to catch both of them with a splash in the corner. He hits a DDT on Austin Lee and drags him to the center of the ring, trying to apply the Silver Surfer. Cody breaks up the hold and aims a kick to the head of Silver King before being forced out of the ring by the ref.)
(Silver King tags in Cynric again, who pulls Austin up and hits a vertical suplex followed by two quick elbow drops. He backs up and signals for the Lift Off. Austin gets up and ducks the attempt. Cynric recovers and whips Austin to the ropes. Austin suprises Cody by hitting a blind tag. Cynric hits a Thez press on Austin Lee but is hit with a clothesline by Cody Hawk. Cody yells at Austin, asking why he tagged him in so soon. Austin gets up and a shoving match erupts. Silver King slips into the ring and rushes Austin Lee, hitting a flying headscisor takedown and rolling with Austin to the floor. Cynric hits an inverted DDT and goes to the corner. The ref leaves the ring to try and break up the brawl between Austin Lee and Silver King while Cynric climbs to the top and hits the Savage Elbow. He covers, but the ref is still outside the ring. Nykk runs down the aisle and slides into the ring. He pulls Cynric up and hits Howling Moon. He slides out and hides behind the ring on the opposite side from the ref. Cody is quick to recover, and gets up to his feet. He sees Cynric down and makes the cover. The ref finally separates the brawl and turns back, sliding into the ring and counting two as Cynric is able to get a shoulder up.)
(Cody pulls Cynric up and tries for a piledriver. Cynric blocks and hits a back body drop. He runs the ropes, but Nykk pops up and trips him, giving Cody the chance to tag in Austin Lee. Austin pulls Cynric into the Degenerate Driver and covers. Nykk runs around the ring and pulls Silver King off the apron while Austin gets a three count.)
Winners: Austin Lee and Cody Hawk by pin.
Tara: Austin gets the pin, thanks to Nykk, but was he trying to help Austin and Cody, or just get to Cynric?
Dick: Who knows, Nykk is mysterious. Wait just a minute.
(Nykk is back in the ring, standing over Cynric. He looks down the aisle and yells for Jon to watch closely. He signals for a microphone.)
Tara: Oh for the love of...don't give him a microphone.
(He gets one and returns to standing over Cynric.)
Nykk: So, I'm a danger in the main event? You're afraid I'm going to too unpredictable? Well I can predict something, I can predict that Cynric's neck is just as fragile as Fox's was. If you think I was going to be a hazard in a main event, wait until you see this.
(Austin Lee and Cody Hawk have left as Nykk pulls Cynric up to his feet and sets up for the Aurora Driver. He lifts Cynric up just as Alan Mayse runs to the ring. He hits a spear on Nykk's exposed midsection, forcing him to drop Cynric onto his feet. Alan and Nykk brawl on the mat, rolling to the floor.)
Tara: Alan's had enough, he wasn't going to watch Nykk cripple Fox's brother.
Dick: Lucky for Cynric and Fox, but perhaps not so lucky for Alan, this is just what Jon was worried about, his little pet champion exposed to the dangerous Nykk.
(Nykk lifts Alan up on the outside for Howling Moon, but Alan wriggles free. Alan shoves Nykk back and they trade right hands. Alan goes down to one knee, and Nykk moves in for the kill, but Alan sweeps Nykk's leg and Nykk drops down to his knees. Alan rolls out of the way as Cynric charges down the aisle and hits the Lift Off, laying Nykk out. Alan and Cynric both roll into the ring, they shake hands and start posing for the crowd. Suddenly Austin Lee returns with a steel chair. He takes out Cynric with a shot to the back while he's on the turnbuckes. Alan sees Austin aim a shot to his head, and ducks. Austin drops the chair in midswing and kneels down to hit a low blow from behind on Alan. He spins Alan around and hits the Degenerate Driver.)
Tara: Austin Lee just took down the FPPVW Champion!
Dick: Get a good look at Alan Mayse, I think this is how he's going to look at the end of WrestlingRevolution! Austin Lee is staking his claim right here right now.
Tara: We're out of time, thank you for joining us. For Dick Broccoli this is Tara Fisher. Good night.
