The scene opens on a dry and dusty cliff-face. The camera pans slowly over the cruel Mexican Desert, cacti and vermin litter the ground below. A single snake slithers slowly across the sands as the camera slowly pans up the cliff face to reveal a familiar sight, Teo del Sol, arms outstretched over the cliff. He takes a deep breath, white mask shining under the unforgiving sun, and smiles.
“Do you believe in Miracles?
An odd question, I’m sure. People like to pretend like Miracles are kind of thing that happens in movies, when the defibrillator manages to keep a heart attack victim out of the light at the end of the tunnel, when the hero manages to pull victory from the jaws of defeat by the sheer power of determination alone, when just the right coincidences, the right circumstances, the right impossibility…is suddenly possible?
Teo turns away from the camera and crosses his arms.
“Oh I’ve heard the pundits, the doubters, I’ve heard every single person in the world counting out Teo del Sol, saying there’s no way that he’s going to last, to make an impact in WAR, that it would take a miracle for him to walk out of WAR, and several more to have a chance of winning…”
Teo chuckles to himself under his breath as the camera slowly begins panning.
“Well, that doesn’t bother me any. Miracles are what I deal in. You see, I know that the WCF faithful are called that for a reason, and it’s not just because of their loyalty. They are called the WCF faithful because they believe in this little business that we have built for ourselves, because they believe that anyone on any night can do anything. And that’s a belief I can get behind.
It’s time for WAR, the one night where every single person in the company is on equal ground. You know, I think that’s the part about the WAR match that I love the most, that everyone has a shot, every single person can be the one at the end of the night with his hands held high and his stock through the roof. At WAR I will not only have the chance to reclaim the Television title, but the chance to make my mark on this company once and for all when I go into WAR and I make each and every person watching at home remember why they believe in miracles.
But to do that, I have to get through some of the toughest, most game competition that I can honestly say I have ever had the privilege of facing. Tonight is an opportunity to check off my bucket list, to get the chance to step into that ring with some of the best names in the history of this business, men who have stood across the ring from world champions, men who have held the belt themselves!
But perhaps even more importantly than that, I get to play spoiler. You see, I know the way WAR works, just because this is my first rodeo doesn’t mean I haven’t done my research. If a man gets #1 it means he has to outlast 49 other guys, and frankly being able to pull that off is not just a miracle, it’s an impossibility.
But first let me address the elephant in the room, or should I say the whale? Beach Krew. I do not care who wins WAR, but you had better believe I care that it isn’t any one of these depraved lunatics. I have said all that needs to be said about Los Tiburones, but let me make perfectly clear the following, after facing this man three weeks in a row, I have no doubt that if he steps into the ring with either Joey Flash or Dune, that we are going to need another bed next to Jayson Price. This is a man who has taken every opportunity to lie, to cheat, every shortcut up the ladder he can possibly think of, and I have no doubt he’ll have some kind of trick in store for the match. He can try to justify it all he wants, claiming that his record means something, but part of me honestly hope he does end up in the ring with Dune, so that when his jaw is wired shut we won’t have to hear the talking anymore.
But that’s not all, we also have Wade Moore! You two have really made names for yourselves, haven’t you? That is Wade Moore and Twitter Wade. I speak on both of course because Wade has spent more time arguing with Shia Lebouf than he has actually training for his title match. Where do you get off Wade thinking that you have any right to be in this business? You are nothing but a snake, a viper dripping venom everywhere he goes, pouring out every little bit of evil that he can muster in hopes that he can take down somebody with him. What’s more, you can never get the job done! You have faced two internet champions, and both times you have had to have someone else pull the weight for you. Your most iconic victory has come from watching someone else commit murder! And you think you’re going to win WAR? Don’t make me laugh. The only way Wade Moor walks out of war is if number 48 and 49 pin each other before he comes out!
There is more, oh yes there is more, Ricco Rojas, Kyle Kemp. Now the fact that I already hold victories over Kyle Kemp aside, the way he has flung himself at the feet of Beach Krew just makes me laugh. It’s amazing to me that someone so self-centered, someone so cringe inducingly full of himself takes the first chance to prostrate himself before the almighty dolphin. Come on Kyle, I thought you were better than that? But hey, I’m not one to judge, if you want to keep on drinking the aquaberry kool-aid and thinking anyone considers you a real champion, then be my guest. And as for Ricco Rojas, I mean, what is there to say? He could be a big fish in a small pond, but he seems obsessed as everyone else with these pill-popping morons so hey, maybe he fits right in. But don’t think I haven’t noticed the potential, just because I know how foolish Beach Krew can be doesn’t mean I don’t see their potential for brutality, I’m going to keep my eyes on you guys, because I know that all it takes is one slip-up.
And as if one overinflated stable wasn’t enough, I’m also going to have to contend with Pantheon! What more can be said about Pantheon that hasn’t been said already? This is a stable that’s held together by scotch tape and half-remembered matches. These guys can’t stand each other! They barely act like a team except when they are literally forced to. What you have in Pantheon is a group of singles wrestlers who all want to be world champion, so I gotta ask, why are they a stable again? I mean they can unite around the trios belts, when they all get a trophy to hang on the wall, but let’s face it, when it comes to teamwork, I have seen better little league teams! At least they can agree on a goal!
Alex Richards, the archduke of mass confusion is a man who I have deep respect for, a man who doesn’t let anyone tell him how to act or what to get away with, but he’s stuck himself into a team of people who will pin each other the first moment it fits their needs, I can’t express my sympathy for the loss of Scarecrow, Alex, but don’t forget who it was that took your internet title. Pantheon’s loyalties only stretch as far as the next big paycheck, and I guarantee you we’re gonna see another step towards self-destruction.
Jeff Purse and Jay Omega, on the other hand, you two have been working pretty well together since the return, it’s honestly kind of shocking to see from Pantheon. But WAR is a different beast entirely, WAR is a match where you both want to win, both want to walk away with it all. So I wonder how long the team will last, how long it will be before you begin pulling at each other’s tights, going for sneaky roll-ups and superkicks. Frankly it’ll surprise me if either one of you remembers you’re on the same team, because that tunnel vision will start to kick in and then you’ll only see yourself as the victor.
And last but not least we have the DRG, well, some of them anyway. We have Thomas Uriel Bates, and while I would love to detail exactly what it is about his hatred of Mexico that just drives me up a wall, I would like instead to point out that this is a man who is in a downward spiral, who had everything in the entire world going for him, who was going to be not only the United States champion, but the world champion!
And then came Dune.
Dune beat Thomas bates like he was going for a record, and he sucked out your soul in the process. Since then you haven’t been able to string together two wins, you even lost your stable belts last week, eating the pinfall. That is some bad luck,Thomas, but hey, maybe you can turn it around! WAR is a reset button, a chance for everyone to stand up and say that they matter! Maybe you’ll turn it around, if not, hey there’s always a spot in my gym if you wanna train.
Gemini Battle man, he’s got unlimited potential, and he is wasting it every week with that little motorcycle clique. It pains me to watch him flush that potential down the toilet every week, this is a man who has taken both Dune and Joey Flash to their limits, and now has a chance to do it one more time at ONE! This is a dangerous man, and someone who I am going to both enjoy meeting and watch out for.
The Angels of Death are also in the match, and there’s an interesting team if I’ve ever seen one, they seem completely intent on getting Denise a black eye at the hands of Thomas Bates, so much so that I think they’ve forgotten they’re supposed to actually be in a wrestling company, because I can’t remember the last time they had a significant win. It’s a shame too, because they seem like they could make an impact on the sport, Oblivion especially with that bat of his. Of course I might be referring to the wrong kind of impact.
And now we arrive at the wild cards, the unaligned wrestlers, people like Vic Venable, the man who is on the cusp of greatness, who has managed to turn his life around. I gotta say Vic, you’ve earned my respect since we first fought. I pegged you as a liar, or a cheat, someone straight out of Beach Krew, but you have proven me wrong. I would go so far as to say your honor in that ring is intact, no matter what you’ve done outside of it. But our records against each other are still 1-0 Teo. I absolutely look forward to seeing what you bring into this match, but until I see it, I gotta leave you as a question mark.
Then we have Spencer Adams, the former People’s Champion! Spence I gotta tell you I was pulling for you against Kyle Kemp, and not just because the size of his ego makes Thomas Bates look like a twelve-year old child, no. I was pulling for you because you understand, man, you get it, you know exactly just how powerful the WCF faithful can be, what a difference they can make in your career. You are on the way up, my man, and I hope that I don’t serve as the roadblock on your way.
Oh yes, how could I forget David Sanchez. You’ve come a long way since I got that victory over you, David. Tell me, are you surprised that I’m still here? You hit me with literally everything you could think of, hospitalized my fans, hospitalized me, took me to the very limits of endurance and then had your girlfriend throw blinding powder in my face. You know I’m starting to think you don’t like me. But David, that’s water under the bridge as far as I’m concerned, the David Sanchez of then is not the David Sanchez of tonight, you have grown colder, more vicious, have taken every opportunity to prove just what an evil S.o.B. you really are, so good job I guess? Yet I also have to mention your open challenge, you have defended that belt every week against some of the gamest talent the company has to offer, frankly it made my TV title reign a little less special but that’s beside the point. Even though I can’t agree with your actions outside the ring, you have earned my respect in that ring, and I hope you don’t ruin that at WAR.
Now that the heavy hitters are out of the way, I’d like to speak specifically to the new talent, the guys coming up the roster, and also Torture. You have picked one of the hardest possible ways to make your debut, you have fleshed out tonight’s match into a genuine must-see event, and for that I have to say that it is going to be an honor. When we step into that battlefield tonight, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, because you are going to be a part of something greater than anything you could ever imagine, something that will change your lives. For the rest of history, you get to say that you were in WAR, and who else can say that, eh?
I look forward to stepping into that ring tonight and facing off against anyone in this company, I want to stress above all else that despite the loose nuts that WCF is the greatest company in the entire world, and that we can make something truly special happen tonight. Gentlemen, I can’t wait to see what happens.”
Teo nods at the camera as it slowly fades to black.
“Do you believe in Miracles?
An odd question, I’m sure. People like to pretend like Miracles are kind of thing that happens in movies, when the defibrillator manages to keep a heart attack victim out of the light at the end of the tunnel, when the hero manages to pull victory from the jaws of defeat by the sheer power of determination alone, when just the right coincidences, the right circumstances, the right impossibility…is suddenly possible?
Teo turns away from the camera and crosses his arms.
“Oh I’ve heard the pundits, the doubters, I’ve heard every single person in the world counting out Teo del Sol, saying there’s no way that he’s going to last, to make an impact in WAR, that it would take a miracle for him to walk out of WAR, and several more to have a chance of winning…”
Teo chuckles to himself under his breath as the camera slowly begins panning.
