The scene opens backstage in the Greensboro Coliseum. We can see Sabre walking along a corridor, walking alongside Sabre is a smartly dressed man he is of average build and is wearing a top hat, a penguin style suit, white dress shirt and a bow tie. He also has a neatly trimmed handle bar moustache which he occasionally twists the end of. The two men walk along the corridor to a room which has a sign which says TV room on the front, they enter the room and go up to one of the monitors, it has Joe Jackson's latest promo on it although at the moment the action is paused. Before they have a chance to watch the action Lisa Blunt who just happened to be watching a nearby monitor approaches them, realising she has no chance with Sabre she tries to stand seductively in front of the smartly dressed man.
Lisa Blunt: Sabre I don't believe you've introduced me to your rather handsome friend.
Before Sabre can respond the smartly dressed man takes Lisa's hand and kisses it.
Lisa Blunt: And excellent manners too, you really have good taste in friends Sabre.
Smartly dressed man: (In a very upper class English accent)A pleasure to meet a fine young lady like yourself, my name is Sir Percy Poncenby Smyth.
Lisa Blunt: And good breeding too, perhaps we should meet up later.
Sir Percy: I'd be delighted to, it's always a pleasure to have the company of a young lady.
Lisa looks overjoyed at this news.
Lisa Blunt: I can hardly wait, anyway Sir Percy what are you doing over here in the USA.
Sir Percy: Sabre sent me a telegram this morning saying that he required my assistance he told me that I am the only person in the world who can assist him with a certain problem he had, and since Sabre is a great ambassador for queen and country I flew out straight away from my country estate in Hampshire.
Lisa Blunt: What problem would that be.
Sabre: Well as we all know I am a bit of a polyglot as I speak several languages fluently such as English, French, German, Spanish and a little bit of Finnish too, but even with all those languages behind me I still can't understand what Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson is saying because the language he speaks in his promos is none of the above languages that's why I needed the services of Sir Percy, you see Sir Percy is fluent in gobbledegook, therefore he should be able to translate to me the rubbish that Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson has said about me recently. So if you'll excuse us Lisa we have to get to work.
Lisa Blunt: Well it was nice meeting you Sir Percy and I hope to meet you later.
Sir Percy: Charmed.
Lisa walks off looking very happy with herself, when she leaves Sabre begins to speak again.
Sabre: You aren't really going to meet up with her later are you.
Sir Percy: Of course not, I know her reputation, I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot barge pole, but when you're a gentlemen like you and I, then you must treat all women like ladies no matter what they behave like.
Sabre: You're right Sir Percy, but it hard to treat Lisa like a lady because of the way she acts all the time trying to seduce every man with a pulse.
Sir Percy: But try you must, for England's sake.
Sabre: I'll give it a shot then but first too work you have to translate Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson's words so that I can address all the inane points he makes.
Sir Percy: But before I do I'll just ask you one question what are you doing fighting Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson when I'm watching OCW television in Poncenby Smyth manor, all I ever see are terrible performance from the fellow, surely he is not worthy of facing a former world champion like yourself.
Sabre: You're right Sir Percy he doesn't belong in the same ring, arena, city, state, country or continent as me but Brain has his reasons for booking him against me so I'm happy to go along with them and give Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson a sound thrashing into the bargain. Right let's get to work.
Sabre grabs a remote control for the monitor and starts the tape of Joe Jackson's promo.
Joe Jackson: My dear Sabre...Will you ever learn? Probably not. Well I did...Joe Jackson is no longer the high flyer he once was. He has now grounded himself and is a FIGHTER! What does mean.... It means it's time for change. It is time for actions to change, it's time for peo p le to change. It is time that you learn what DEVASTATION is all about.
Sabre pauses the tape again and gives a puzzled look he turns to Sir Percy for a translation.
Sir Percy: Well I do believe that the man is saying that he will adopt a ground based strategy against you, and that you and all the other wrestlers better watch out because he will get you all.
Sabre: He's going to adopt a ground based strategy, well that's good news because it now means that my win is 100% guaranteed, because there is now no way he can beat me, mind you his chance was incredibly remote even if he used the high flying strategy. But now he's going to fight he on the mat my win is in the bag, because when it comes to mat based wrestling I hold all the advantages, power, technical skill etc. So it looks like Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson is throwing away his only chance of winning the match but then again what to you expect from a man with his limited mentality. And as for the myself and all the other wrestlers having to watch out, that's a bit of a laugh isn't it because Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson isn't capable of doing harm to anyone on the roster because he just doesn't have the ability therefore I don't think anyone has to watch out.
Sabre lets the tape play a bit more so we can see a little bit more of what Joe Jackson is saying.
Joe Jackson: Perhpas if you remember back to the days in the good'ol Cwf yo u will remember exactly who WAS the champ there. Yeah that's right Sabre I was heavy weight champ there. I never saw your @$$ holding any titles. In fact if I remember correctly you came in about 2 weeks before the thing had shut down. Durning that time I held the heavy weight title, tv title, and the tag team title. Don't tell me you were any sort of pride of that you had anything to do with the Cwf....Because you didn't!
Sabre pauses the tape again and another perplexed look appears on his face. Once again he turns to Sir Percy.
Sir Percy: Well I do believe that he is talking about your respective records in the CWF. He mentions that he held the heavyweight title, TV title and tag title during your tenure their while you didn't hold any belts. But as far the last part I can't make it out, I can only speak gobbledygook and I think he's switched to gibberish there so I can't make it out.
Sabre: While It is true that I never held a title in the CWF, it was only because my tenure there was very short, if I had been there as long as Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson I would have held many a title, but I can tell you what I did accomplish while I was there. In my short tenure there I became the number one contender to the hardcore title, a title which I would have undoubtedly won if the CWF had lasted for one more week. I also had a perfect record and I beat the only CWF wrestler apart from myself who has made an impact in OCW and that person was El Nutso. On the other hand let\'s look at Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson's record while I was there because I can't comment on what he did before I was there because I never watched CWF television before I joined the fed,, but during my tenure there Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson only had one match and he lost. I think that says a lot about Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson because when you look at the keys points in his record he has always lost and on Totality he will lose again. Now let's take a look at hi s claim that he held the heavyweight title, TV title and tag team title during me CWF tenure. The first part of his statement is a down right lie because during my entire time in the CWF the heavyweight title was vacant. Soloman vacated it just before I joined the fed and there was never a match to find a new champ, but I suppose you can only expect lies from Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson because after all week in and week out he tells us how great he is, when we all know he sucks. As for the other two belts yes he held the TV and Tag titles I can't deny that, but he lost the tag team titles to a team that contained Assassin, that's just down right embarrassing. Let's face it Sir Percy everything about Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson is embarrassing because when you are limited as him it's just a struggle to avoid making a fool of yourself. Before I go onto the next section of the promo I'e got one more thing to say about the CWF, when it closed down just look at how long it took for us to be called up to the OCW. Brain gave me my call up within days of the ending of the CWF while Joey 'The Devastator'Jackson didn' t get his call up for about a month. Even Assassin was called up before him. Brain is a shrewd judge of talent, he knew which of the CWF wrestlers were the best, he looked at performances in the ring not titles won, which is why he called me up first because he knew my performances in the ring were easily the best in the CWF, and that I would have the most potential in OCW and I think with my OCW world title win he was proved entirely right. Okay let's move onto the next section now.
Sabre lets the tape play on again.
Joe Jackson: Sabre if you also take a stroll down memory lane take a look at some of the gru some match's that I have participated in. Can you honnestly say that you have ever fought a "Holy Sh*t" match? I don't think so. Can you honnestly say you have fought a double ladder flamming table match? I don't think so. Can you honnestly say you fought in Hell's Kitchen, New York with Chris Shea....No you can't. You can't protest to any of those things I have mention. Believe me Sabre...there is more. I have been around the block and I have fought the most dangerous wrestlers out there. I would rather t a ke a loss from worthy opponent then a win from a worthless opponent such as yourself. But I'll make an exception this time around. This time around it's all about showing everyone out there that your days are done. That after Totality you will be on your k nee's praying to god that the doctor's can reattach your neck to your shoulders. Sabre you are out. Sure you've had some remember match's with Helms, like the 60 minute iron man, I'll give you that. You've had 2 famous battles with Chris Shea. BUT....That was when you were a little bit younger. Perhaps in your prime. Sabre you are no longer in your prime. You are i n your older days as a wrestler. You have gotten just a little bit slower, a little bit weaker, a little more of a moron, and it will cost you dearly
The tape is paused again. Sabre looks like Joe just spoke in Ancient Greek.
Sir Percy: During the first part Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson comments on some of the matches he has had in the past he mentions a holy deification match, a double ladder flaming tables match and then his Hell's Kitchen match with Chris Shea, he then wonders if you have been in such matches.
Sabre: Of course I haven't been in a holy S**t match , because that was the lamest match idea in the history of wrestling, I would be embarrassed to say I took part in a match like that. No I have never been In A hell's kitchen match either, but in previous feds I have competed in street fight matches including one in the streets of Houston, and I fared very well so I am more than capable of holding my own in street fights. And as for the flaming tables match, you've got me there because I haven't been in one of those either, but I don't think it matters really whether I've competed in one of those match or not because our match is a standard match, so experience of flaming tables won't help Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson at all. Right what was the next bit then Sir Percy?
Sir Percy: He then talks about how you will be on your knees in front of him begging for mercy and how you will be injured.
Sabre: We all know these words are complete b******s so I won't dignify then with any words.
Sir Percy: He then mentions that you had some great matches with Blade Helms and Chris Shea, but he then mentions that those matches were when you were a little bit younger . He says that you are not in your prime any longer, that you are slower and weaker than you were when you faced Messrs. Shea and Helms and that fact will cost you when you face him.
Sabre: I always knew that Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson was a bit mixed up, a bit muddled in his small brain but I think those words prove without a doubt that he has lost it. I remember him saying similar things about Shea just before he faced him and Shea is only 24 now he says the same things to me and I am only 26. I wonder where he gets the strange notion that you are past it at the age of 24 or 26 when in fact you only just reached your prime by that age. Perhaps he thinks Shea and I are cats or something like that so we age more quickly than normal people, perhaps he thinks our ages go up exponentially instead of geometrically. I think it must be one of those two explanations because he mentions that I was at my peak against Shea in a glass house match and that was only three weeks ago. I must have aged very rapidly if I have gone from my peak to past it and in the process of which lost all my speed and strength in only three weeks. So despite Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson's weird concept of aging I will be very much in my prime for our match, and when I'm in my prime crappy little wrestlers like my opponent this week won't even last a minute against me. Right the next section.
Joe Jackson: I intend to show no Remorse this Thursday. Although the fans will cheer in your corner their boo's shall invigorate me. They will power my anger, my vengance, to come out and punish you. After I defeat the "great" Sabre everyone will know why I am THE DEVASTATOR! They will know why Mike Massacre hand picked me for the job and not yourself. They will know tha t the REVOLUTION.....Is comming. My picture will be then posted on that "so called" wall of fame alone side the other greats like PK and hell....even Chris Shea. But Sabre you won't be there. You will be on the other side besides Ryan Trent and Assasan for being some "Has-been" talentless moron...It's funny isn't it. The way things work out? It just so happen's that Mike Massacre wasn't up there..Why is that? Could it be that you placed those pictures up on the wall because those are the kind of people you want to BE? I think it is....Sabre.
Sabre pauses the tape, and looks as if someone just asked him to solve Fermat's last theorem.(i.e. confused)
Sir Percy: Well firstly he mentions that he will feed off the negative energy of the crowd to spur him onto victory, he then mentions that he will show us why he is called the devastator and why Massacre handpicked him to join the revolution. He then mentions that he will find a place of the wall of fame which was behind you during your last interview and that you would no longer be on it. Finally he speculates that it must have been you who put the pictures up because you want to be like the people in the pictures.
Sabre: Well I think I'll respond to these points in reverse order, I think Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson will find that it was an official who put those pictures up and not me, if I'd have put it up do you think I'd put up Blade Helms, hell no the only person on the OCW roster who I rate less highly than Blade is you. Then there is the point about Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson getting on the wall of fame and me being removed from it. I can't see that happening can you, if you notice one thing about those people on the wall they have all held titles in OCW of they are in the top 10 in the rankings, Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson has never accomplished either of those two things and he never will because he has zero ability, the closest he will get to a wall of fame is cleaning it when he has to become a stadium caretaker when his OCW flounders and he is fired. And as for me being removed from a wall of fame that is about as unlikely as Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson getting on one. As a former world champion and the holder of the record for the longest world title reign it's pretty safe to say that I will be remembered for a long time after I've left OCW whilst Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson won't be remembered for even five seconds when he's left. That brings us on nicely to his comment that Massacre handpicked him to join the revolution. Yet more lies from the man, Massacre didn't handpick you, you went to him and begged him to let you join because it was the only way of kick starting your going nowhere career. Unfortunately for you though it won't kick start your career because you have to face me this week and against me you just can't win and after the beating I give you, your career will be back down the pan where it belongs. And that brings us to the final part of this section he will show why he is called the devastator, does this mean he will finally come clean and admit that he gave himself that name because he thought it sounded cool and intimidating despite the fact that he had done nothing to back that name up. We all know the truth about that name so there is no need for Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson to show us anything, because if he tries to he will just embarrass himself once again. Right let's move on to the final part of Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson's speech.
Sabre presses play again to see the final section of the promo. Joe Jackson: I have adopted a new fighting style..A style which will not be revealed until you step into the ring with me. It's all your's so eat your heart out. Trust me Sabre...You will enjoy trying to adopt to this style because you can't really adopt to it's almost impossible. Just like you defeating me on Totality is impossible. I told you I had been working VERY hard to perfect and take on new skills. Well I have aquired new skills. You haven't. Your still useless Sabre waiting f rom someone to come along and beat your @$$. Well Sabre....This someone has just come along. Who's next Sabre????
Joe pauses and flexes all his mucsles. You can see the viens popping out and he looks bigger then he was before. Much bigger. Joe screams out...
Joe Jackson: YOUR NEXT!
The scene goes static and the Revolution flag appears. The scene fades to BLACK!!!!!
Sabre now stops the tape looking totally and utterly confused.
Sir Percy: Well he says that he's going to fight you with a new style that has never be seen before, that he has new skills and that you will be next, and then of course as you could see he showed off his not very impressive physique.
Sabre: A new style and new skills is that meant to impress me, well it doesn't not even for one second because even with a whole new style and new skills he will still suck and he will still lose because I way too good for a few new skills to make any difference and as for his opinion that I will be next, next for what, my guess is the next person to pick up an easy victory over Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson. Because that's the only thing I can think of which will involve me being next for something when I square off against my opponent. And finally Sir Percy I've got to agree with you on Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson's physique it's terrible and it doesn't impress anybody, even Lisa Blunt wouldn't be impressed by that physique. Or course I have the best physique in OCW and that along with all the other advantages I have will take me to victory. Right that's our work over and done with thanks for your time to Sir Percy I wouldn't be able to decipher what Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson said without you.
Sir Percy: Think nothing of it old boy, I'm always glad to help a fellow English man.
Sabre: Are you staying around to watch Totality then.
Sir Percy: Yes I think I will.
Sabre: Good because now you can get to watch Joey 'The Devastator' Jackson get Sabreized.
Scene fades to black. |
