Location: Unknown Warehouse in Philadelphia, PA
Date: Monday January 16th, 2017
Time: 12:37 pm
The scene opens with the WCF Galaxy's favorite costumed super hero, Captain Pantheon, standing in the middle of a dingy looking, old warehouse. The sunlight from outside floods in through the large windows well enough to hazily light the entire sprawling inside. A single WCF cameraman films the standing masked man with the silver title belt slung characteristically over his left shoulder as he begins to speak.
Captain Pantheon: "Hello WCF Galaxy! This your favorite neighborhood super hero, Captain Pantheon, coming to you live from middle of old, empty warehouse in middle of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!"
The Captain scratches the back of his head.
Captain Pantheon: "Now I know what you all thinking right now. But Cap, why you in middle of an old, empty warehouse one week before huge WCF pay-per-view, Rise Up?!"
Captain Pantheon holds a finger up to the camera, as a sly smile forms on his face.
Captain Pantheon: "Patience friends, it will all be clear to you in very near future!"
The Captain flexes his "muscles".
Captain Pantheon: "But let's talk about wrestling for moment! Last night saw world's best tag team, Cap 'N Crook, defend our titles yet again! We made it look easy against two members of Sisterhoodoftravelingpants, they just two more wrestlers added to list of many names that have found out that Captain and Stefan Sing the real deal!"
Cap glances down and smiles at his tag title belt for a moment before returning his gaze to the camera.
Captain Pantheon: "Now apparently one of the losers of that match, 'Captain' Sisterhoodoftravelingpants himself, Bro Sharts, still think he can somehow beat the REAL Captain, YOUR Captain, Captain Pantheon. So in his... infinite wisdom, supreme galactic overlord ruling emperor of WCF, Sef Lich, give Sharts a Flag Match against THE Captain at Rise Up. Now I not sure what all Flag Match entail but I not afraid of anything that Sharts bring to the table! I going to beat him silly with every flag of the world if that what I have to do to prove to him once and for all that he no Captain!..."
Captain Pantheon looks down again, this time over at his bare right shoulder. After an extended period of time looking at the black costumed shoulder, the Captain once again looks at the camera with determination in his eyes.
Captain Pantheon: "But before Captain gets to Rise Up, I have big match this week. That's right Galaxy, live Sunday January 22nd from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Captain Pantheon will be taking on none other than TV Champion, Shmashmortion Lite, for his TV title!"
The Captain once again holds a finger up to the camera.
Captain Pantheon: "Now I can hear all the Captain fans out there right now, 'but Cap, you get all crazy and lose sight of what important last time you in singles match for a title!'
Cap repeatedly nods his head up and down.
Captain Pantheon: "I agree, when I face Teddo Del Nerdo for the Internet title, I get too into trying to prove to everyone that I good enough to be two belt champion! I was willing to do anything to take that gold from him, and it almost cost me the title I had, and it would have if I not saved by my partner, Stefan Sing."
Captain Pantheon rubs the big, shiny silver plate of his tag title belt.
Captain Pantheon: "However this time, I know what important to me. First and foremost, Captain is one half of WCF tag team champions! But..."
The Captain looks at his bare right shoulder once again and chuckles.
Captain Pantheon: "But Shmashmortion Lite, I going to beat you and become WCF TV champion for the right reasons! You see, my partner, Stefan Sing, he have biggest match of his career, biggest match of his life coming up at Rise Up, when he take on my personal hero, and greatest wrestler of all time, Jory Splash."
Cap stares at the ceiling for a short time before looking back to the camera.
Captain Pantheon: "While Jory best of all time... I know he not best right now. I have gone out to entertain the fans night after night for the last three months now with Stefan Sing, and having seen him, having seen the way he dominate every opponent he face... There no doubt in my mind that my partner, Stefan Sing, is destined for greatness!... He destined to beat Jory Splash and become new WCF World champion!"
Tears have now formed in Captain's Pantheon's eyes as he speaks about his beloved tag team partner. He takes a moment to compose himself before continuing.
Captain Pantheon: "Just like Sing, your Captain is destined for great things! And I going to prove to everyone out there, most importantly I going to prove to my partner that I too am good enough to be two belt champion. This time, I not going to win second belt just for me, oh no. I going to win that title to show Stefan that WE can do this, WE can both be two belt champions!"
The Captain points at the camera, an intense expression on his face.
Captain Pantheon: "Shmashmortion Lite, I know you new up and coming rising star, coveted by Sef Lich, but you need to face fact, you have nowhere near the big match experience that Captain have! Sing and I been going out there for three months and showing that we are not only best tag team in all of wrestling, but that each one of us knows how to give that performance that not only rocks the crowd, but picks us up big win after big win!"
Cap counts to five on his hand and holds it up to the camera.
Captain Pantheon: "Here your total number of matches, Shmashmortion. Now I not going to go lightly on you because of this inexperience, no no, I not be the Captain if that's what I did! I going to give the WCF Galaxy the incredible wrestling performance they expect each week from their super hero!"
Captain Pantheon strikes a quick super hero pose.
Captain Pantheon: "Now with such little experience, I not entirely sure who you are at this point, Mr. Lite. But from what I have seen of you, I know you little rich boy thanks to your daddy. I sure you used to having everything in life handed to you thanks to your daddy and all his money."
The Captain points at his chest.
Captain Pantheon: "I not know what that like at all. I have to work as hard as I can just to make it in this business, make it in this company. Nothing in life has ever been handed to Captain, but I like it that way. I like it because I know that I have advantage over anyone who not willing to work as hard as the Captain, anyone who thinks that everything just comes to them because they exist."
Cap points at the camera once again.
Captain Pantheon: "If ever you needed reminder that hard work overcome privilege, I going to deliver you that message. I going to painfully remind you by hitting you with my fists and feet of mighty fury!"
Captain Pantheon shadow punches and kicks the air next to him, while the cameraman attempts to hold back his laughter.
Captain Pantheon: "That's right, you don't want any of this, Shmashmortion!"
As the Captain continues to punch and kick the air some more, he suddenly stops and slaps himself on the forehead.
Captain Pantheon: "Of course, how could I forget! The Captain also fought for TV title since I been tag champion! It was six person tag match against Sisterhoodoftravelingpants members, back when HPV, the man you beat for the title, was champion! My team of course beat the pants off them then too, but they protect HPV, and he get lucky and keep his title."
Cap brushes off the front of his black and white costume with his hands.
Captain Pantheon: "That week was the week that the Captain shocked the world and switched from Captain WCF to Captain Pantheon! Now while I not going to switch anything this time, I still have something big planned for my promo because I not the Captain unless I really getting huge!"
Captain Pantheon motions for the cameraman to follow him as he walks towards the main doors of the building.
Captain Pantheon: "While I not start life with lots of money, from having signed my lucrative WCF contract and being three month tag team champion, I have accumulated some wealth! But the Captain not about to keep all this money for myself and show off like egotistical jerk! Captain Pantheon is hero of the people and gives back to them!..."
After reaching the main doors, the Captain quickly pushes them open and reveals the wide open parking lot. The parking lot of the abandoned building that would normally be empty, is full of rides and games under large canvas pavilion tents to protect them from adverse weather conditions. Children and their parents run by and high five the Captain, some of the children stopping to give him a hug as Cap begins walking towards a large inflatable bouncy house.
Captain Pantheon: "This here is what I do that you don't do Shmashmortion Lite, I entertain the people! Whether I wrestling in front of thousands of fans or am just living my day to day life, I make sure that everyone around me having good time! When the wrestling fans sit down in front of their TVs after long day at school or work, they not want to see strange, rich guy that think he better than them parading around like God's gift to Earth."
Captain Pantheon moves a smiling child that had given him a hug next to him and puts his arm around their shoulder.
Captain Pantheon: "They want to see the Captain, they want to see their hero flying around the wrestling ring performing wrestling feats that keep them on the edge of their seats! Not some smelly doo-doo head rich guy, right?!"
Cap turns toward the smiling child, who excitedly and repeatedly nods their head while staring into the camera. Captain Pantheon let's go of the child's shoulder and they run off, the Captain grinning after them.
Captain Pantheon: "Shmashmortion Lite, on January 22nd your TV title reign will come to a short-lived, unceremonious end. You will be given wrestling clinic by the more experienced, more beloved, BETTER wrestler, Captain Pantheon! But that nothing to be ashamed of, you still very early into your young career, I sure there will be plenty more opportunity for you in the future!"
The Captain grabs title belt off his shoulder, holding it up in the air with one hand. His other hand he closes into a fist and holds high in the sky.
Captain Pantheon: "I going to become two belt champion this time, not just for me, but for my team, for Cap 'N Crook! I going to show Stefan that it is possible for us to be that...darn...good when I holding up two titles and not just our one!"
A small crowd has gathered around Captain Pantheon as he continues his self-motivational speech.
Captain Pantheon: "And then after I win TV title, I go into the corner of Stefan Sing at Rise Up, and I watch him become today's best wrestler when he overcome all the odds and dethrones the king of wrestling, Jory Splash!"
The crowd roars with applause, as Cap fires them up.
Captain Pantheon: "We going to be the best! Nothing going to stop Cap 'N Crook!"
The Captain runs full speed towards the bouncy house and jumps in.
Captain Pantheon: "BANZAI!!!"
