[Dom Stoate, the General Manager of MWF, comes down the ramp, with
a particularly smug look on his face as he smiles towards the
audience, many of the people in it baring banners and flags that wear
Insane Wayne's name on, or something related to his title defeat the
night earlier. Stoate has several plasters on his head and neck area,
but seems to be in reasonably good spirits despite this.]
JP: And here comes the General Manager,
looking particularly pleased with himself! Well, I hope he's happy
with how he cost Wayne the title! Wayne worked damn hard for that
shot and Stoate blew it for him! I'm glad that Harley put him through
that glass!
Sully: You gotta admire Stoate's resilience!
He still managed to hobble down to the ring and help Spade! And
didn't Doomsday have the very same intentions? Didn't he come down
with intentions of ruining it for the World Champion, Ace Spade?
JP: It's different. The man is the damn
General Manager, Sully. He shouldn't get himself so involved. He
shouldn't let his feelings interrupt his work.
[Stoate moves up the steps at the outside before moving along the
apron, ducking down beneath the bottom rope and moving towards the
middle of the ring, microphone snatched from an outside official's
hand as he moves towards the ring.]
JP: I don't want to hear what this man has
to say, I-
[As the music dies down, Stoate's voice pierces through the
atmosphere of hate (aimed at the GM) as he says loudly and proudly:]
GM D. Stoate: Wayne! Wayne! This one is for
you!
[And, in a loud and rather off key tone, he'd begin to sing
loudly:]
GM D. Stoate: NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH!
NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH! HEEYYY-OHHH, G-
[Wayne's music hits and Stoate halts his singing immediately,
looking out of the corner of his eye towards the titantron. The fans
scream with happy anticipation, and Stoate turns to face the ramp.]
JP: Yes! Wayne is coming to shut this damn
SOB up for sure!
Sully: If he lays a hand on the GM-
[And then, out of the entrance way comes a grinning Ace Spade, his
title over his shoulder. Stoate grins happily, places the microphone
beneath his arm and begins to give Spade applause. The fans sound
less than happy.]
JP: Oh, please. The man just loves himself
doesn't he?
Sully: And why shouldn't he? He is the World
Champion! He should be feeling like a million bucks!
JP: Well he sure doesn't look like a million
bucks! He is cut up and bruised from Wayne's efforts that were
thwarted by the damn General Manager on a power trip last night!
[Spade moves down the ramp, arms outstretched proudly as he grins
(although his face IS a little bit messed up and bruised from the
match last night.), doing a little turn half way down the ramp.
Stoate grins and urges the fans to congratulate the Champion with
hand movements. They do not. Spade moves beneath the bottom rope,
sliding before standing up. Stoate steps back and, mid-spin, Spade
takes the offered microphone before speaking. Wayne's entrance music
that Spade had used to fool the audience, fading down now.]
JP: Oh God, he'd gonna talk.
[And he does.]
Ace Spade: Yes. Yes. I know. I know. I am
the World Champion. I am the World Champion still, and I wanted to
come out here to thank you loyal fans for helping me to that win. I'd
like to-.. Wait a second..
[He'd pause..]
Ace Spade: Ah, hell! Who am I kidding? It
was all me! It was all 'The Player'! And, I guess, some help from
General Manager Stoate here.
[He'd turn back to face the fans as Stoate takes a slight bow.
Spade turns back to the audience and continues. He takes a deep
breath before sighing and evidently happy sigh.]
Ace Spade: Ohhh. It's GOOD to be the
Champion!
[And with that, he'd drop the microphone before turning and moving
over towards a turnbuckle, hopping up onto it and raising his title
belt proudly. Stoate leans down and picks up the microphone, looking
rather pained as he does so, but managing despite.]
Sully: Those two are made of what it takes!
No matter what happens to them, they still manage to get up and carry
on!
JP: But you can't ignore the fact that
Stoate is suffering. They may not even have all of the glass out of
him now!
[Stoate picks the microphone up and stands up straight, wincing as
he does so. He'd raise the microphone to his lips, before saying:]
GM D. Stoate: As you can see…Despite the
efforts of Insane Wayne, Ace Spade is still standing. And, as you can
also see, I am still standing after the dastardly efforts of Sean
Harley. Harley… You made a grievous mistake doing what you did to me
last night, and, to be honest, I'm lucky that I'm still alive after
what you did to me.
JP: I suppose that's true.
Sully: Something has to be done! Harley is a
loose cannon!
GM. D. Stoate: And so I am going to do
something that should undo the mistake that President Walker made
long ago by employing you. Because, Sean…As of now, you are FIR-
[He is cut off for not the first time tonight by entrance music
interfering. The music belongs to none other than President Edward
Walker. Stoate pauses, looking towards the ramp area, a slightly
concerned look on his face.]
JP: Hah! Look at the look on his face! He
looks like a rabbit stuck in the headlights of an eighteen-wheeler!
Sully: Oh, c'mon, JP! Walker controls every
job here in the MWF! Even the GM's!
[Walker moves down the ramp with purpose, fans chanting his name
steadily. By now, Spade has moved off the turnbuckle and has his
attention cast towards the ramp. Ed Walker moves down it, a
concentrated look on his face as he moves up the side steps quickly,
along the apron and beneath the top rope into the ring. Stoate steps
backwards as Walker moves straight for the centre of the ring,
snatching the microphone out of Stoate's hand. Walker speaks
immediately.]
President Walker: Shut up.
[This gets a huge pop from the fans and Stoate shakes his head a
little bit, looking to the side briefly before turning back to face
Walker.]
JP: That's tellin' him!
Sully: That's no way to speak to the GM!
JP: Even if it is said by the President?
Sully: …No comment.
President Walker: Now, I've had to sit back
and listen to you two long enough and frankly, I'm pretty damn sick
of it. And when it comes to Harley, you deserved everything that you
got from him, Stoate.
[This gets another pop and Stoate contests this, stepping forwards
towards Walker who raises a hand to halt him.]
President Walker: But I'm not actually here
to talk about you, Stoate. I'm here to talk about -you-.
[Now looking directly at Ace Spade. The World Champion shuffles
his shoulders about, sniffing indignantly.]
JP: It's about time someone had a word with
that one!
President Walker: Yeah, you fought hard. You
won your match. But there was also no need to come out here and spit
in the face of these fans by gloating and thanking nobody but
yourself. Without these people, you wouldn't get paid, and the MWF
wouldn't even be here.
[Another large pop from the audience as Walker continues.]
President Walker: So, would you believe it,
I have an idea. I have a match idea for you. I have booked you for a
match for next week.
[Spade turns to look towards Stoate and shrugs before looking back
towards the President.]
President Walker: I know you like him, so I
have booked you a match against Troy Knight!
JP: TROY BOY! Troy Boy, Troy Knight!
[Spade throws the title onto the ground in reaction and stomps on
the canvas, moving up to Walker and getting up in his face. Walker
lowers the microphone and gets back in his face. Stoate pulls Spade
back as the fans chant Walker's name.]
President Walker: But don't get so heated
up, I haven't decided if it's for the World Title yet..
[Spade glares threateningly at Walker.]
President Walker: Now get out of my sight
you two before I fire you!
[Stoate glares at Walker and the heat between them is visible.
After a pause or two, Stoate and Spade move towards the outside of
the ring, the title now in Spade's hands. They both move up the ramp,
the fans singing loudly:]
"NAH NAH NAH NAH. NAH NAH NAH NAH. HEEEE-YYYOOOO.. GOOODBYE!"
[Walker stands proudly in the ring as the fans make a hell of a
lot of noise.]
JP: It's going to be next week! Troy Knight
versus The World Champion, Ace Spade!
Sully: How could he put him in a match
against Knight?! Everyone knows how much Spade hates him!
JP: Is it for the Title? We don't know yet,
but I think that Prez Ed has a pretty good idea!
[Stoate and Spade move up the ramp, both of them hobbling from
their injuries that Stoate suffered outside of the ring, and that
Spade suffered from events inside the ring.]
