[The show opens to show the MWF arena, the cameras within the
audience flashing repeatedly as the camera scrolls over them in a
frenzy.]
JP: Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to
MWF Dynamite! We're broadcasting live from Ardmore, Oklahoma! We have
a sell-out crowd here tonight, expecting a lot from a show that
promises a few star appearances, and a handful of great matches!
Sully: Talk about appearances! It has been
confirmed that UWF legend Tempest is making an appearance!
JP: More of the acute viewers will
remember his past appearance in the MWF, but he was only really here
has a teacher, but there are rumours kicking about that he will make
a full ring return to the MWF!
Sully: Let's not forget that Thunderbull has
his final match before the World Title match next week!
JP: Can he win the World Title in record
time?
Sully: I don't think he can lose against
Troy, could he?
JP: What are you saying? Troy is the World
Champion for a damn good reason!
Sully: Well…
JP: What?
Sully: You don't think Ed's on the other
bus, do you? Gave him the…ahem…shot?
JP: Don't be ridiculous!
Sully: What about Wayne? He's a
little…y'know.
JP: He wasn't even in power when Troy won
the title! An-
[As JP is half way through his sentence, the Titan Tron lights up
and the rest of the arena lights dim down, apart from the few spot
lights rolling around the sea of fans. 'Heart's Filthy Lesson by
David Bowie' hits the PA as the fans increase the sound of their
ruckus. ]
JP: Ohhhhh my.
Sully: Is that who I think it is?
JP: These may not be the UWF fans, but they
certainly seem to receive him as one of their own!
[After leaving the entrance music to play on for a little bit,
Tempest would eventually walk out onto the ramp. He would pause as he
remains standing on the ramp, looking about, hair visibly wet and
dripping as he stands there, taking his time to look from side to
side at the people surrounding the ring and ramp on which he stands.]
JP: And here he is, finally making his way
back towards the MWF ring. It has been over a year since anyone in
either the MWF or UWF have heard from him, but now he is back, and
looks ready to continue where he left off.
[Tempest, after observing the packed arena for a little bit, takes
a step and moves down the ramp with purpose. The manner in which he
was dressed suggests total business- but not the wrestling kind. He
was in a smart shirt of cream and tie of dark green, and, despite the
fact that he has doused his hair in water, his attire was very proper
and also, very expensive looking.]
Sully: Something tells me that he has come
back to do more than just wrestle, JP.
JP: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you're
right. The man has a history of getting involved with other people's
careers in a more managerial role.
[Tempest adjusts his tie as he makes his way up the steps on the
outside of the ring, raising his chin as he proudly steps beneath the
top rope to get into the ring. He is handed a microphone as he moves
towards the centre of the ring, which he grips firmly, and raises to
his mouth. His music gradually fades away and allows him to speak. He
does not immediately speak, however. Instead, he just waits, looking
about the fans as he waits for them to quieten down.
"Tem-pest-sucks!" is what they all scream in unison, and he replies
with a casual tilt of the head and a frown before opening his mouth
and speaking.]
Tempest: I would have thought that you would
have grown out of this by now.
[He would break his speech, pausing to look about briefly as he
stands in the centre of the ring, swaying on his feet ever so
slightly.]
Sully: I hear that, Tempest.
Tempest: I mean, how long have I been gone
for? A year? Maybe more? And still, you people think that screaming
'Tempest sucks' is going to get to me. You still think that screaming
and holding your little signs will stop me from telling it how it is.
Well, let me give you a little update here. …..It's not.
[He would pace about a little bit, reaching up and straightening
his tie as he speaks.]
Tempest: It really shocks and upsets me that
after a year, you haven't been able to change. You haven't been able
to evolve or move on. I mean, the Universe was made in a week, but
there appear to have been no developments in the wrestling world of
this kind.
[He would go quiet for a little bit, riding out the chorus of
jeers and boos that grow louder with his every word.]
JP: This is hardly the start he wanted.
Sully: And how to you know that, JP? I
happen to think that it's &endash;exactly- the start he wanted.
[Again, he would speak up, raising his hand and the microphone
with it.]
Tempest: But okay. I can live with it. In
fact, it is this that gives me a purpose. A reason for being. It is
your stubbornness to move on and learn things that gives me meaning.
Because, as I'm sure by now you've forgotten; I am the teacher. I
strive for excellence, and I will continue to push and push until I
see the world how I want it to be.
[Another pause as he moves over towards the ropes and leans over,
raising a hand and gesturing in an indifferent manner.]
Tempest: But, yes. I &endash;am- a wrestler.
I am a wrestler, and I &endash;am- being employed by Mr Edward
Walker. The President of the MWF. But that doesn't mean that I don't
have a purpose. Oh yes. I &endash;do- have a purpose. And that is to
educate. And, like I said, without people to educate, then I have no
reason, and you, 'loyal fans' of the MWF, are going to be my pupils.
JP: I don't know who he thinks he is, trying
to take control of the federation like this. Makes me sick.
Sully: What? You're against someone finally
stepping in to take a hold of the corrupt way that society finds
itself in during this day and age?
JP: Do you…Do you even know what you're
talking about?
[Tempest resumes talking, getting gradually louder as he does.]
Tempest: Yes. I am well aware that people
are going to try stand in my way. They did last time I was here, and
I was taken advantage of, because I was not in the active roster at
the time. My job, at that time, was not to retaliate physically, but
mentally and verbally. Now that I have a secure place on the active
roster, I have every excuse to take those rebels by the throats and
show them how painful my teaching can be.
[He sighs, lowering the microphone briefly before looking about.
He would raise the microphone up again, the audience buzzing with
excitement.]
Tempest: But not everybody here is bad. You
see, over the past year, I have been watching the MWF, and I have
been observing the various superstars that have cropped up. And, much
to my disgust, we have a homosexual as a World Champion.
[Tempest looks thoroughly outraged as he says this, tightening his
face, and baring his teeth in anguish for the very idea that anyone
homosexual could possibly have any status at all. He would clench his
fists, face tilted down as he grimaces, struggling to form words.]
Tempest: It's just…sickening. It makes me
physically ill.
[This draws the loudest jeer yet from the audience as they observe
the man in the ring that almost looks winded from the mention of the
atrocity that is Troy Boy. Tempest straightens himself up as straight
as he can, taking deep breaths as he appears to be trying desperately
to calm himself down.]
Tempest: But…but, as ever, I have come to
right this. I have come to right this…wrong. And to do so, I require
followers. I need followers, because, as I have learnt in the past,
as bold a…dictator as my self, is very susceptible to violent
backstage attacks, and so I have already laid some roots. I have
taken beneath my wing two (he gestures with his fingers) very
established MWF superstars. Two.
[He would pause to show everyone the two fingers raised (note: not
in a derogatory manner but demonstrative.) before continuing.]
Tempest: And I am looking to find a third.
And I have him in clear sight.
JP: He already has two?
Sully: I wonder who they could be! Who are
they, JP?
JP: Why not ask the 'teacher'?
Sully: What do you have against teachers,
JP? Were you caned as a child?
[Tempest resumes, a lot more calm now then before as he speaks
into the microphone.]
Tempest: I am not yet going to reveal to you
any of these three. The two I have recruited already shall remain
nameless until I see fit, but the third that I want very much to join
my stable, will be revealed tonight. You shall see who it is I have
in mind, and then you will see just why I am going to be the biggest
thing to hit the MWF. I am installing law and order amongst the
ranks, and giving something that is desperately needed in the world
of professional wrestling.
[His music hits and he lingers on a menacingly blank expression
before looking to the side and tossing the microphone half-heartedly
to the side. The audience booing furiously as he makes his way
towards the outside of the ring. The MWF music would hit over his as
we are taken to an advertisement of the Troy vs The Hobo main event.]
Sully: Wow.
JP: Tempest, speaking strong words, but can
he live up to them?
Sully: Have you forgotten what this man has
accomplished? He's Tempest! The teacher!
JP: I know very well who he is. I also
remember what he did to the both of us about a year ago.
Sully: Forgive and forget, JP. It's in the
past.
JP: Well, folks. We have a bunch of great
matches here tonight, including The Hobo's non-title shot against
Troy Boy. This is the first time that these two have ever met in
one-on-one singles action.
Sully: Poor boy versus pretty boy.
JP: It's gonna be a tough one to call. Stay
tuned, we're coming right back.
