(Footage is shown if Homecoming Hell, focusing on the end of the Nykk vs. Austin Lee match and the aftermatch. The video is played to the tune of "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who.)
(In the ring, The Nykk Show set is in place, and the entire Heel Stable is present. "Behind Blue Eyes" is still playing in the arena.)
Nykk: Cut it, we've got the point.
(The music cuts out and the crowd lets loose a chorus of boos and profanity toward Nykk.)
Nykk: Yeah, I know, you just hate me don't you? You know the worst part though, is most of you were just getting to the point of thinking, "this guy's all right." Oops!
(He shrugs and laughs as the crowd grows louder.)
Nykk: You need to realize something, all of you. You need heels! Like it or not, we're the ones you pay to see. Sure you're thinking you want to see us get that beating that's been coming to us, or see us driven out for good, but deep down every one of you just wishes you could get away with what we can. You want to be like us, you can't say it though. You keep up the appearance so the people standing next to you still think you're one of the "good guys" but even they secretly cheer for the heels. Come on, let it out!
(Even louder boos are heard.)
Tara: Welcome to Foundation, ladies and gentlemen. We have the Nykk Show going on in the ring as we speak. This is Tara Fisher.
Joel: And this is the one man in Tennessee you're not related to, Joel "Some mountain girls might not be too sharp, but they'll learn a lot when I teach them the mouth harp" Gertner.
Tara: It's just about Halloween time again, but it seems Nykk couldn't get his costume as a decent human being yet.
Nykk: The song's not quite accurate, you all know what it's like behind these blue eyes.
Tara: His eyes are green!
Joel: Well I don't think that's the point.
Nykk: Put yourself in my position, and you would have done the exact same thing. Why settle at beating down a cheap imitation of you when you can just stick a big middle finger in the air at the world as you do it? Can you honestly tell me you've never gone to work saying, "today should be the day I get one over on the boss and make him piss his pants with anger?"
Tara: Interesting way to put it.
Nykk: There's something wonderous about knowing that you've betrayed authority, but there's nothing authority can do about it.
("Prayer" hits and Jon Z makes his way to the ring, accompanied by Vix.)
Jon: I wouldn't say nothing, Nykk. It seems to me, there's plenty I can do.
Nykk: Like what? You going to fire me? My contract is solid, Jon, you saw to that yourself when you signed me again.
Jon: No, I'm not going to fire you. You wouldn't learn anything at all that way. The best way to get to you is right in that very ring.
Nykk: Yeah, making me wrestle, as I'm a wrestler and all. There's punishment for you.
Jon: Well perhaps you'll see things my way after tonight, as you'll be in that ring facing none other than Alan Mayse.
Nykk: You're punishing me with a title match?
Jon: Please, you think I'd be dumb enough to ever give you a title shot again? The gold will not be on the line, and by the way, the match is no holds barred.
Nykk: Perfect! You know, I think I'm really going to enjoy being back.
Jon: We'll see. I suppose there's only one more thing to say, and that's "Happy Halloween."
("Prayer" plays as Jon goes to the back.)
Tara: I can't believe we're going to see Alan Mayse vs. Nykk right here tonight? I wonder if Alan knew before he got here?
Joel: It's going to be a rough night for him to, after that hard title defence at Homecoming Hell.
(Tara and Joel are shown at ringside. Tara is dressed as a pirate. Joel is dressed as Elvis, but is still wearing his neck brace and bow tie.)
Tara: We have much more planned for tonight. Swinger takes on Brother Jim. Shadow defends the Ladies RCW Championship vs. Mary Alice Latino.
Joel: Ronin Fox has his first title defense, putting the RCW Television Title up against Rico Cassanova.
Tara: We've been told the Pyro Twins also have a match, but we haven't been told who they will be facing.
Joel: Uh oh...this time of year and there's a mystery opponent? You remember last year?
(In the ring, Nykk and Joey Sprinklers have left and the Pyro Twins are waiting for thier opponents. "Pajamarama" hits and a man wearing all black with a big white question mark on his chest and a black hood walks out.)
Mystery Opponent: He-looo, remember me? Thi'th i'th My'th'tery Opponent!
Joel: Oh dear god.
(Dusty just looks away shaking his head. Jay starts laughing.)
Mystery Opponent: It Th'eem'th I've been booked to fa'th'e the Pyro Twin'th today, but you know I can't do that alone. I found my'th'elf the perfect partner. Know who it i'th?
Tara: Wait for it...
Mystery Opponent: Ladie'th and Gentlemen...My'th'tery Partner!
("Pajamarama" hits again and Mystery Partner, dressed identically to Mystery Opponent, dances his way to the ring.)
The Pyro Twins vs. Mystery Opponent and Mystery Partner
(Dusty and Opponent start the match. Dusty dominates the early goings using a ground and pound technique. Keeping the pace slow and deliberate. He hits a teardrop suplex and gets a two count. Dusty pulls Opponent up and tries to whip him into the corner. Opponent reverses the whip and hits a clothesline in the corner. Dusty stumbles out and gets hit with a swinging neckbreaker. Opponent tags in Partner.)
(Opponent pulls Dusty to his feet and he and Partner take him over with a double hiptoss, cradle Dusty's legs, lift him up and slam him to the mat. Partner makes the cover, but Jay jumps into the ring and breaks the pin with a kick to Partner's back. Opponent whips Jay to the ropes and hits a dropkick that sends Jay over the top rope to the floor. Dusty gets to the ropes and pulls himself to his feet. Partner shoves Dusty into the corner and goes for a vertical splash. Dusty ducks and rolls out of the way.)
(On the outside, Jay hits a belly to belly suplex on Opponent and slides back into the ring. Partner is stumbling around as if he's blind. Jay and Dusty hit Final Darkness and Dusty covers for three.)
Winners: The Pyro Twins by pin.
Tara: Oh, dissapointment tonight for the Mystery Opponent and Partner.
Joel: It's a sad day in wherever they're from.
Tara: We've gotten this Halloween party started, we still have two title matches and Nykk taking on Alan Mayse. Stay with us.
(Commercial break.)
(Backstage, a crowd of wrestlers and RCW employees has gathered. Some are wearing cheap Halloween costumes. Brother Jim walks in.)
BJ: Repent, ye sinners!
(The crowd groans.)
BJ: I see you all here taking part in these foul proceedings. Why, do any of you know the origins of Halloween? Ancient pagans created this foul day as a way to draw the evils of the underworld up to plague mankind! You gather together and lust after pleasures of sugar and women in tight costumes as you dress as witches and light evil looking plant lanterns that the evil spirits use to guide thier way out of Hell, and you OW!
(Jon Z walks behind Brother Jim and grabs a handfull of his hair.)
BJ: What in the name of the Lord are you doing?
Jon: Hold it one second.
(Jon takes out a ruler and holds it up to Brother Jim's head. Jon lets him go and picks up a clipboard, making a note.)
Jon: Good, now every time you come in to work, see me so I can re-measure.
BJ: What? You're actually enforcing that heinous ruling?
Jon: I'm doing nothing but abiding by a signed contract, as you will if you value your screen time. Now if you don't mind, I was invited to a Halloween party, and I don't think you were.
(Jon walks into the crowd and starts mingling. Brother Jim looks pissed and walks away.)
(Huh and Cheesecake walk in. Huh is still wearing the black question mark tights, but without the mask. Cheesecake is dressed as Catwoman.)
Cheesecake: Me-yow.
Huh: Thank you for coming to our party.
(Cynric walks by.)
Cynric: Hey, nice match out there. Too bad the Pyro Twins beat you though. Thought you had a good shot.
(Huh looks nervous.)
Huh: What? That wasn't us in those costumes. That was the mysterious team of Mystery Opponent and Mystery Partner. They're mysteries.
Cynric: You're still in the same tights.
Huh: Huh?
Cheesecake: No, he dre'th'ed to match me. We're both Batman fan'th and he dre'th'ed a'th the Riddler.
Cynric: Riiiight.
(A very average looking man walks into the crowd. Swinger greets him.)
Swinger: Hi Aki.
Aki: Who are you referring to? Surely not me, for I am not this...AKI MAAAANN!
(He coughs.)
Swinger: Ah, right, costume and all.
Aki: Costume? Why would I be wearing a costume. That's not the kind of thing that an incredibly average man such as myself would engage in.
Swinger: Well, who are you exactly.
Aki: Andrew. Andrew Kennedy Ike...uh...Mann.
(Swinger just stares in silence.)
Huh: Alright, everyone. I have a disturbing announcement!
(The crowd quiets down and turns toward him.)
Huh: Someone in this room...is a murderer!
(Most of the crowd doesn't react. Aki gasps.)
Huh: I was here in the parlor earlier...
Aaron Bowman: This is a locker room.
Huh: When I came across this.
(He pulls a sheet off a bench. On the bench is what appears to be a body covered in blood with a large knife sticking out of him. After a few moments snoring is heard.)
Huh: Before anyone leaves this building, someone here must find the perpetrator of this vile crime, and the meathod of this poor man's death!
Drew Stoke: Dude, I think this knife has something to do with it.
Huh: Oooh, you're off to an early start. The rest of you better catch up!
Aki: Vile deeds are afoot! This is a job for AKI MAAAANNN!
(Everyone turns to look at him.)
Aki: Uh...I'll go find him. AWAY!
(He runs out of the room.)
(Commercial Break.)
("Run Rabbit Junk" hits and Mary Alice Latino makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: We've got a Ladies RCW Championship match right here tonight, keeping with the trend in RCW of keeping our Champions fighting. Alan Mayse hasn't slowed down since obtaining the RCW title, and Shadow has made it clear that she'll take on any challenge.
("Stay in Shadow" hits and Shadow makes her way to the ring.)
Shadow vs. Mary Alice Latino
Ladies RCW Championship Match
(Shadow dominates the match, and though Mary Alice stuns her with a interted atomic drop and tries for a DDT, Shadow blocks and slips behind and hits the Shadowfall for the pin.)
Winner: Shadow by pin.
Joel: Shadow is quick, if you lose sight of her in the ring, you'll soon lose sight of your victory.
(Shadow stands up and smiles, looking down at Mary Alice. She pulls Mary Alice up and hits a DDT, locking on the Leach Hold.)
Joel: What's she doing?
Tara: Is this a message to Naomi Leach?
(The bell sounds and referees come out to pull Shadow away. Shadow breaks the hold and rolls outside the ring.)
Tara: I don't know what brought that on, but thankfully she broke the hold before doing any major damage.
Joel: We've got to take another break. We'll be right back with the RCW Television Champion.
(Commercial break.)
("Rico Suave" hits and Rico Cassanova makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: We're set for our second of two title matches here tonight. Ronin Fox is about to make his first televised title defense right here on Foundation.
Joel: Rico Cassanova has a golden opportunity right here. He's had trouble getting back into the swing of things here in RCW since his recent return.
Tara: His personal problems really put him behind, but he's working his ass off to get back up the ladder, and hopefully even further than he was before.
("Wherever I May Roam" hits and Ronin Fox makes his way to the ring.)
Ronin Fox vs. Rico Cassanova
RCW Television Championship Match
(Fox and Rico lock up. Fox gets an armwringer. Rico reverses into a hammerlock and pushes Fox to the corner. Rico releases the hold and backs away. Fox goes to lock up again, but Rico ducks under his arm and applys a side headlock. Fox backs to the ropes and launches Rico off to the opposite side. Fox hits a high dropkick and locks Rico's legs before applying an STF.)
(Rico reaches the ropes and Fox breaks the hold. Rico stands up and locks up with Fox again. Rico hits a fireman's carry and applies a rear chinlock. Fox forces his way to his knees and hits a series of elbows to the midsection to weaken the hold. He breaks free and sets Rico up to hit a Tiger Buster. He covers for a two count. Rico rolls out under the bottom rope and stands up on the apron. Fox tries to pull him back in, but Rico stuns him with a right hand. Rico springboards onto the top rope, but Fox grabs the rope and shakes it so Rico falls to the outside. Fox tries to go to the outside, but the ref holds him back and starts the count. Rico stands and Fox runs to hit a tope. Fox gets to his feet first, rolling into the ring to stop the count at 6. Fox rolls back out and picks Rico up to roll him into the ring. Fox goes for a slingshot guillotine legdrop, but Rico rolls out of the way. Fox stands and leans on the ropes. Rico stands and whips Fox toward the ropes, Fox tries to reverse the whip. Rico stops and pulls Fox in to set up a fisherman's buster. Fox blocks the move and hits a knee to the midsection. Fox backs up a step and rushes in to hit the Tail End DDT for the three count.)
Winner: Ronin Fox by pin.
(The ref raises Fox's hand and presents the title belt as Rico uses the ropes to stand.)
Tara: Ronin Fox is off to a strong start on his first title reign.
Joel: Rico Cassanova comes up short here tonight, but he looked strong in the ring.
(Fox approaches Rico and offers his hand. Rico accepts a handshake.)
Tara: Perhaps a rare bit of sportsmanship will help him along.
Joel: Well we'll see about that, he's still probably got what Colt Cabana said weighing on his mind. Rico needs to make an impact, we'll see what kind of impact he can make soon.
(Commercial break.)
("Running With the Devil" hits and Brother Jim makes his way to the ring. He looks very self conscious and keeps covering his head.)
Tara: What is going though this man's mind? He hasn't cut his hair in three days and he's acting like it's making a difference already.
Joel: I don't know, looks like he's a bit shaggy on top.
("Simon Says" hits and Swinger makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: I wonder how Aki Mann is doing backstage on his "case." Swinger seems quite unconcerned about it.
Joel: What? Aki Mann is here? I haven't seen him yet.
Tara: Oh stop it.
Brother Jim vs. Swinger
(Swinger starts off strong, whipping BJ to the corner and hitting a clothesline followed by a bulldog. He turns BJ over on the mat and hits a quick moonsault. He covers for a two count.)
(Brother Jim breaks away and hits an arm drag. He lets loose with a series of hard kicks to Swingers' back. He kneels down and applies a side headlock. Swinger slips out and rolls back to hit a kick to the back of BJ's knee. BJ falls to his knee and Swinger runs around him to pull him into a swinging cradle neckbreaker. He goes for the cover, but BJ grabs hold of the bottom rope. The ref holds Swinger back as BJ gets to his feet. They lock up, BJ tries to whip Swinger to the ropes but Swinger grabs a handful of BJ's hair and pulls him into a cobra clutch. The ref questions a hair pull but Swinger just shrugs as he applies the hold, claiming BJ's hair is still too short to pull. Swinger hits the Swing Thing and covers for three.)
Winner: Swinger by pin.
Tara: Oh my.
Joel: If you thought Brother Jim was paranoid about long hair before, you haven't seen the half of it.
Tara: He's going to end up even more insane now.
(Backstage, Alan Mayse is lacing his boots. He stands up and walks to the door with the title belt on his shoulder. Austin Lee is standing there. They both lock eyes for a moment.)
Alan: So you got screwed over pretty bad.
Austin: You can say that.
Alan: Well, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I suppose you're sorry now, like Nykk was?
Austin: Trust me, no one hates the comparison between me and Nykk more than I do. Also, I'm not sorry for a damn thing. I did what I always do, whatever will get me by. I did what I thought would get me to this.
(He taps the title belt on Alan's shoulder.)
Austin: I know better now, that if I'm going to deserve that title, it's going to be on my own, but don't think for a second that I won't do whatever it takes to get that. Someday it's going around my waist, and when it happens no one will doubt my worthiness. I won't need anyones help.
Alan: If you can do that, I can't wait to see you try. Don't you think for a minute, though, that I'll trust you any further than I can throw you. And if you ever come after this title...I'll be throwing you a lot.
(They continue to stare eachother down as the screen blacks out.)
(Commercial break.)
(Swinger is walking backstage, looking quite pleased with himself. Aki Mann, still in his "average" costume taps him on the shoulder.)
Swinger: Hi Aki..er...Andrew.
Aki: Now, my faithful swinger Sidekick. It may shock you to lean that who you thought was Andrew Kennedy Ike Mann is actually none other than AKI MAAAANNN! Sorry I had to keep up my secret identity earlier, as one never knows which of our fellow wrestlers may be minions of the Great Evil.
Swinger: Right...
Aki: Follow me, good citizen, I...AKI MAAAANNN! have come to the source of the foul play revealed earlier.
Swinger: What? Oh the party thing.
(They walk into the locker room "parlor" where the body of Sleepo is still laid out and several wrestlers are milling about talking to eachother.)
Aki: My fellow mysteryians. I have made a series of deductions that have cut this crime down to the bone!
(The crowd murmurs quietly as they turn toward Aki.)
Aki: First, I had to think on many things. Who is this dead man? Why would anyone want this dead man dead. What did the dead man do to deserve death? Did the dead deserve to die in a...
Dru Stoke: Enough already!
Aki: Some research into his past brought up many interesting points...first of all, I couldn't find his name. The dead man, whoever he is, remains a complete enigma. I was able to obtain several survailance shots of him.
(He hands out several pictures, all of them are of Sleepo taken that day, in the exact same situation he is currently in.)
Aki: His activities of late raise many suspicions. Perhaps he was planning to FAKE his own death and things went awry!
(The crowd grumbles and looks around at each other.)
Aki: But WAIT! That would just be too easy. After all this, I came across THIS!
(He points to a trail of red drips that leads to the next room, he follows it to a cart just outside in the hall with a big bowl of red punch, several tipped over ketchup bottles and a plate of spagetti smothered in sauce on it.)
Aki: With that, it's plain to see, the caterer killed him!
(No one reacts. Eventually Cynric turns to Huh.)
Cynric: I think the butler did it.
Aki: What? What evidence do you have to back that up?
(Cynric shrugs.)
Cynric: The Butler always does it.
Aki: What butler?
(Cynric points to an old man in an old fashioned tuxedo.)
Butler: Oh my, I say, you've found me out, old sport. I sure enough slashed the blighter just this morning after I served him twelve year old scotch with arsenic in it. Shortly after I served him up several sharp blows to the head with a kettle. I am terribly sorry about all this though, I don't know what came over me. Perhaps while we await the police to incarserate me I can make you all a spot of tea for a bit of pennance.
Huh: That sounds nice. Congratulations, Cynric, you've solved the case.
(The crowd applauds, except for Aki who looks down, depressed, slinking away down the hallway.)
(Commercial break.)
("Destroy" by Soul Casket hits and Nykk makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: We're set for our main event, Nykk is on his way to face Alan Mayse. These two have met many times in the past.
Joel: I'm digging the new music, now that Nykk's not fooling with any nice guy image.
("Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: The RCW Championship is not on the line here tonight. Jon Z doesn't want to take a chance on Nykk stealing it away again. It was about this time last year that Nykk first won the then FPPVW Championship from Alan due to help from the Heel Stable.
("The Way I Am" hits.)
Joel: Now wait a minute.
(Austin Lee makes his way to the ring, the ring announcer begins.)
Mike: The following is a hanicap match, scheduled for one fall...
Tara: Handicap match?
Joel: Come to think of it, Jon was pretty vague earlier. He didn't specify that this was a one on one match.
Tara: Nykk can't like this, but then again, how well are Alan and Austin going to be able to work together.
Nykk vs. Alan Mayse and Austin Lee
(Nykk starts screaming at the ref while Alan and Austin stand on the ring apron in the corner and stare at each other. Alan gets in the ring, never taking his eyes off Austin. Nykk sneaks behind Alan and tries to hit a German suplex, but Alan blocks it and goes behind with a standing switch. Alan picks Nykk up to his a stomachbreaker. Nykk gets up quickly and gets whipped to the corner. Alan hits a hard clothesline and pulls Nykk out to hit an exploder suplex. Austin reaches his arm out, asking for a tag, but Alan ignores him. Alan pulls Nykk up and whips him into the ropes. Nykk ducks under a clothesline, and leapfrogs over Alan. Alan goes for a dropkick, but Nykk avoids it by holding onto the ropes. Nykk hits a kneedrop on Alan and turns him over to apply a bow and arrow. Alan fights the hold and shifts, trying to put his weight balanced over Nykk's shoulders. Nykk's shoulders go down and the ref counts two before Nykk releases Alan. Alan stands up but gets caught with a running leg lariat immediately. Nykk applies a side headlock, Alan forcing his way up to his knees. Nykk pulls Alan all the way up and sets him up, hitting Howling Moon I.)
(Nykk goes for the cover, but Alan stuns him with an elbow to the chin. Alan rolls toward his corner and tags in Austin. Nykk backs away as he and Austin face off. Nykk charges in to lock up, Austin sidesteps and hits a side Russian legsweep. Austin tries to apply the Crimson Cloverleaf, but Nykk keeps on his back and kicks Austin away. He gets up fast and shoves Austin into the corner. Nykk whips Austin across the ring and charges into Austin's boot. Austin pulls Nykk into position for a DDT, but Nykk reverse into a northern lights suplex and gets a two count. Austin rolls backward and spins around, hitting a hangman's neckbreaker on Nykk. Austin walks back to his corner and locks eyes with Alan before tagging him back in. Alan pulls Nykk to the center of the ring and applies the Maysochist. Nykk refuses to tap, reaching for the ropes.)
Tara: Nykk is in major trouble here, and we've got to take a break. Stay with us.
(Commercial break.)
(Austin Lee is in the ring with Nykk. He whips him to the corner and hits a shouderblock to the midsection.)
Joel: We're back with Foundation, and we've been watching Nykk get dismantled in the ring tonight.
Tara: He's taken a lot of punishment, but he's not giving in.
(Austin pulls him away from the corner and sets up for a powerbomb. Nykk backdrops Austin and charges the corner, knocking Alan into the guardrail. Austin charges but Nykk stuns him with a kick to the midsection and sets him up for a northern lights suplex. He lifts him and holds him.)
Tara: Oh no...
Joel: This is no holds barred! I think he's going for it!
(Nykk goes for an Aurora Driver. Austin grabs the top rope and holds on, so Nykk drops him neck first on the top rope instead.)
Tara: Austin might have saved himself there, but then again that shot on the rope did plenty of damage too.
(Nykk drags Austin back toward the center of the ring and grabs the referee. Joey Sprinklers comes out of the crowd and jumps the guardrail. He pulls Alan up and hits Da Sprinklinator on the floor. Then he jumps up on the ring apron and pulls off one of the top turnbuckle pads. As Joey runs back into the crowd, Nykk whips Austin hard into the corner, so he goes back first into the exposed turnbuckle. Austin stumbles out of the corner and Nykk turns him around and pulls him into a reverse brainbuster, covering for the three count.)
Joel: I can't belive it, what a match! Nykk fought unbelievable odds but came out victorious.
Tara: It took the help of Joey Sprinklers, but Nykk has just scored a win in the record books over our RCW Champion and one of the highest rated contenders in a handicap match...that's huge!
Joel: But the time we have left isn't, we have to go.
Tara: Happy Halloween everyone, and we'll see you next week here on Foundation.
