The Book of eXtreme: Revenge; Chapter I

[Mikey eXtreme]

Common

Common? Mikey was anything but. Fifteen came and went, the biggest pay per view in WCF history and Mikey walked out clutching his United States championship just as he had done at One and Night of Champions.

Mikey was approaching historic places, the longest reigning United States Champion since Deuce MurDock held the title for 84 days, and at the time of his next scheduled defense Mikey would pass Deuce bringing his reign to 98 days. Which, would be the longest reign since Natural Ice Beckman’s 140 day reign in 2014.

Mikey was chasing numbers that he hoped he could beat. Once he gets to 140 days he would begin his chase of Steve Orbit’s 171 day reign.

Mikey wanted it, and he knew it was something that he could grasp. That all would start with his upcoming battle with Vengeance. If he could make it past Vengeance, who had recently beat him on an episode of Slam, he would move on towards his goal.

Gemini Battle, a worthy adversary. One of Mikey’s dearest friends inside the WCF, well, that was until Gemini betrayed him and began to hide behind the eyes of Grayson Pierce. A monster has become a weak and worthless joke, but Mikey knows that one day he will see his friend again. But, those days are not on Mikey’s radar right now.

Chelsea Armstrong.. she tried her best, but her best was no match for Mikey eXtreme as he ended her career in one of his biggest matches in his WCF career. She held multiple titles and was part of WCF’s biggest stable, Pantheon.

Bernard Core, one of Mikey’s biggest threats so far in his first year within the WCF, brought the fight to Mikey but fell just short. Mikey choked the title hopes out of Bernard and nearly took his life with him.

Almost one year to the day that Mikey made his debut in WCF defeating four men at the same time. He finds himself in another tag match, but this time he goes up against actual household names. He goes up against his United States title challenger, Vengeance who will team up with Tiffany White. Mikey? He gets Chance Von Crank.

Who? Mikey wasn’t sure himself, but did it really matter? Mikey was the King of America, he had beaten the best competitors that the WCF could throw in his way, did he even need a tag team partner in this match? Mikey was confident that he would come out on top no matter what the match was. He knew he would get the job done like he always has and always will. What was the WCF thinking? Throwing their best talent in this shitty match?

It didn’t matter, Mikey was going to bring this match to the eXtreme.

Is this thing on?

Hank Brown is standing next to Mikey eXtreme. They appear to be in some kind of underground bunker, Vidalia and Freakshow are standing off to the side. Hank lifts his microphone to his mouth as the WCF camera crew gives him a cue.

Hank Brown: Here I am, with none other than the WCF United States Champion, Mikey eXtreme.

MIkey stands there, the belt draped over his shoulder. No smile can be seen, but the bruises and cuts from his match with Bernard are very visible. Mikey stands there with even more confidence than ever before. He stands there, proudly holding his championship belt.

Hank Brown: You had a war with Bernard Core at Fifteen that people will be talking about for years to come. You guys tore the roof down and stole the show.

Mikey eXtreme: Is that a surprise, Hank? I’m the fucking King of America. The greatest performer to ever set foot in this federation and you’re surprised a match I stepped foot in was a show stealer?

You’re surprised we tore that building down?

I told you I was going to put on the show of your lifetime out there. That I wasn’t going to let Bernard Core swoop in and take my baby from me? No. That United States championship is mine and I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure that I keep my belt. Bernard Core should consider himself lucky that he did not meet the same fate as Chelsea Armstrong. That I let him walk out of that toilet bowl known as Philadelphia.

Hank Brown: You’re booked this week in a tag team match against Vengeance and Tiffany White, are you in the right condition to compete? Or did your match with Bernard Core take it’s toll on you?

Mikey eXtreme: Hank, I am the United States champion. I am an unstoppable force that cannot be hindered at the hands of anyone here in the WCF. You see these marks on my body? These marks on my face?

Hank looks at Mikey and winces from just the thought of what Mikey went through at Fifteen.

Mikey eXtreme: That’s my war paint. I don’t need any time to recuperate, I just need to get back out there and bring it to the next unfortunate victim. Who, just so happens to be in this match at Slam, Hank. Vengeance is owed some revenge for the loss he handed me a few weeks back. A loss that I have not forgot, a loss that hounds me a night and keeps me from sleeping.

Vengeance will get what he deserves.

Luckily for him, he has a partner is this match, as do I. So I will not be able to take out the proper amount of revenge that’s needed to please the Dark Lords, so instead I will take this week by week, and let Vengeance suffer the way he deserves. Slow and steady wins the race.. but slow and painful is the way that I like it.

Hank Brown: What about your tag partner, Chance Von Crank, have you had a chance to meet up with him to come up with some kind of game plan? You were part of the Dark Riders, so obviously, you understand the importance of teamwork in these kinds of matches.

Mikey eXtreme: I’ve never even heard of Chance Von Crank, and honestly I don’t think it matters. When you have the ability that I have, when you’re as talented as the King of Darkness.. the game plan goes on the window. The only game plan that we need heading into this match is: Let Mikey in the match.

As long as I’m tagged in, as long as I can do what I do.. there is NO chance that we can lose this match. Hell, I might even make light work of Vengeance and Tiffany White, tag out, and let Chance pick up the victory. The world knows that I am a compassionate guy, that I care about my fellow WCF brothers.

Mikey laughs.

Hank Brown: So, it’s safe to say that you’re looking forward to this match and your upcoming match with Vengeance at Timebomb?

Mikey looks at Hank.

Mikey eXtreme: Did you say Timebomb? That’s the next pay per view event?

Hank Brown: Yes.

Mikey eXtreme: That was my first ever pay per view here in WCF.

Hank Brown: Really? How did that go?

Mikey snarls.

Mikey eXtreme: Let’s just say, this time, Timebomb will be all about Mikey eXtreme.

Hank Brown: You heard it, folks. Mikey eXtreme will be looking forward to Slam and defending his United States title at Timebomb!

Mikey walks off as Hank begins to take out his earpiece and the scene fades to black.

Vengeance

How can Mikey be the best if he was beaten so easily by Vengeance? Sure, Mikey had bigger fish to fry, he was deep in battle with Bernard Core, when Vengeance popped into the picture. Perhaps, Mikey’s mind was else where?

It shouldn’t matter where my mind is, there is no man or woman better than me in this company.

Mikey wasn’t sure himself but he did know that he would have the opportunity to avenge that loss and he would gladly take that job on. A match with Vengeance is more than a normal wrestling match to Mikey, it’s a way to restore his pride. It’s a way to show the world that he really is the best, and most importantly, it’s a chance for Mikey to inflict as much pain as possible on an opponent.

Mikey eXtreme: You know, I sat back in that locker room after that loss to Vengeance, and I took a deep breath. I needed to reflect on what was going on here, I needed to sit back and think about what could have possibly gone wrong and fix the situation.

Vidalia: So, what went wrong?

Mikey eXtreme: That doesn’t matter.

Mikey didn’t want to answer that question, he didn’t even want to think about it anymore, he just wanted to move on.

Mikey eXtreme: What matters is that I know what my mistake was and I will rectify it, I will come out on top just like I should have from the start. There is no doubt in my mind, there is nothing Vengeance can do about it.

This is my time to shine. This is my time on top of the WCF. I hold this beautiful symbol of America because, like MY country, I am the greatest. I am the Dark Lord’s gift to professional wrestling and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Vidalia: That’s right.

Mikey eXtreme: And Vengeance can talk all the trash he wants on twitter, but it will do nothing. It will not help him get passed me, it won’t even help him win over any of these brain dead morons that we call the WCF Universe. Especially, when he can’t even win in a war of words.

You see, I am not just a better wrestler than Vengeance but I am a better person than Vengeance. I am better than him at everything there is. Do you think Vengeance can hold a candle to me?

He better cherish that victory over me. He’s not the first to beat me, but I will make sure that he is the last person that ever beats me. I will make sure that he goes down in history as the last biggest mistake in the LIFE of eXtreme.

Mark my words, Vengeance, I’m coming for you.

There is nothing that you can do. There is no way for you to get out of the hell that is coming for you. “The Vengeful One” is going to feel the vengeance of Mikey eXtreme. You might be Vengeance, but I am the Night. I am Mikey eXtreme.

Fear me, Vengeance, it’s your only hope. Fear me and give in to your emotions. February 7 is Round 3. You will not defeat me this time. You will never defeat me again, because you cannot.

Clocktower

Inside the mind of Mikey eXtreme lies the Kingdom of eXtreme, which holds a massive gothic clock tower which inside holds the throne room of Mikey eXtreme.

Mikey eXtreme: I told you she was ready!

Mikey was talking with excitement to a large tub of gurgling blood.

Mikey eXtreme: She has taken to the Darkside a lot easier than we expected, she has no remorse at all for what happened. Her recovery is complete, my Lords, and she is able to return to my side where I will continue to guide her through this journey.

The blood begins to gurgle harder and faster.

Mikey eXtreme: Well, no, the night did not go without incident.

The blood begins to boil.

Mikey eXtreme: The man who we sacrificed in your honor mentioned a name that we cannot forget. He mentioned the name of Samuel Light.

The blood stops moving.

Mikey eXtreme: I assure you that he was not at the scene, my Lord. His presence was not there. We believe that Samuel Light has set up a new church of the dark in the area. We believe that this man was attracted to Samuel because they share similar values.

We do not believe that Samuel knows that we killed this man.

The blood begins to gurgle again.

Mikey eXtreme: Yes, it is possible that the man confessed what he did to Vidalia, but if he does put the puzzle together, he will not go to the authorities, he will come only to me to try to use this knowledge against me.

He is not an idiot though, and he knows that it will only result in his downfall. He does not want to die, my lord, and thus will stay far away from me. He is probably packing up his belongings as we speak.

More gurgling.

Mikey eXtreme: No, not to follow me. To get away from me. But I will be on the lookout, if the thought even crosses my mind for the slightest second, I will not hesitate in capturing this traitor. I will not hesitate in sacrificing him to our true leaders.

He has lied and controlled me for the last time. He will never get away with these crimes he has committed and still commits against the darkness. You have my word, my lord.

The blood erupts like a geiser signaling the end of Mikey’s conversation with the Dark Lords. Mikey sits there, staring at the blood.

Mikey eXtreme: What if they’re right? What if Samuel is following me? What if he is putting together an army to battle me? What if he has become an actual threat to Mikey’s America?

Mikey is talking to himself when out of the corner of the room, out of the shadows, approaches Doc.

Doc: You know, Mikey, you should not doubt your Dark Lords. They are very wise, and very protective of us. You should do what they want to please them.

Mikey eXtreme: Yes, but there is no way to tell if Samuel Light is actually following us. This might have just been a coincidence.

Doc: A coincidence? There is no such thing as a coincidence, Mikey. There is only fact, and the fact of the matter is that Samuel Light has made his presence known, EVEN if it was through a messenger, and a lowly one at that.

Mikey opens his eyes to find Vidalia sitting at the edge of the bed, her hair wet from the shower she just took.

Women

Vidalia: Finally awake, I see!

Vidalia had an odd aura of confidence that was surrounding her. The murder she had just committed a few days earlier had not affected her in the slightest. In fact, it had made her more hyper than anything. It was as though she could take on the world, a power granted to her by the darkness.

Mikey eXtreme: How long was I out?

Vidalia: I don’t know, long enough for me to take a shower,

Mikey eXtreme: Wow, that long?

Mikey joked, but he really didn’t care how long he was out. He was too focused on his upcoming match on Slam.

Vidalia: Well, you downed whatever was left of that whiskey and then passed out.

Mikey scratches his head, he doesn’t remember any of this.

Mikey eXtreme: Oh yeah, that’s right.

Mikey shakes his head, trying to knock the cobwebs loose.

Mikey eXtreme: I can’t believe they’re putting me in another match with a god damn woman.

Vidalia: Hey! We can fight, too!

Mikey eXtreme: Against me?

Vidalia: Well, you do have a point there.

Mikey eXtreme: The last woman that set foot in the ring with me will never wrestle ever again. I ended her career. I ended her WCF life. Do they want me to do the same to this bitch?

Vidalia: Who is she?

Mikey eXtreme: Tiffany White.

Vidalia: The poker player?

Mikey eXtreme: What?

Vidalia: There’s a professional poker player named Tiffany White, she used to be on this billboard by my old apartment.

Mikey eXtreme: Are you fucking kidding me?

Vidalia: Nope, all the guys I knew loved it.

Mikey eXtreme: Not only do they put me in the ring with this bitch but she’s not even a true athlete? You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s like the WCF wants me to thin out their roster or something.

You see, Vi, they put me in there with these weak ass women who have no business being in MY wrestling ring trying to wrestle with me. The WCF puts these poor defenseless women in peril every time they book one of these matches.

Vidalia: Do you want me to fill in for you?

Mikey laughs.

Mikey eXtreme: And give up an easy W on my record? I’ll gladly put Tiffany White in the hospital. I’ll gladly make her wish she never left the poker table. Believe me, when I’m done with her, they won’t be putting her on a billboard ever again. They’ll NEVER make her the sexual object that she was born to be.

You see, she’s one of these chicks that has no purpose in life. She’s just a pretty face trying to use her looks to get what she wants. She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone or anything else. But, it get’s looked passed because she’s easy on the eyes.

Vidalia: Kinda like me, huh?

Mikey eXtreme: Yeah, sure. But, the difference is that you’re part of the darkness. You have a purpose and you will one day rule this world with us.

Tiffany? Well, she’ll eat a boot come Slam and spend the rest of her days in this world 6 foot under. That’s just the sad truth. They can team her up with Vengeance, try to give her some kind of protection or some kind of edge.. but it won’t matter.

They’ll both end up six feet deep. They’ll both end up just memories in someone’s shitty life, because I sure as hell won’t remember them once this month is over. I sure as hell don’t and won’t ever care about them.

Mikey eXtreme and Chance Van Crank, victorious before the match has even started. That’s the way I like to go into Slam, with an easy W already under my belt. The United States champion won’t hold back, I’ll give them a performance they are not worthy of, and steal this show as well.

February 7, 2016. 355 days after Mikey eXtreme arrived in WCF will go down in history. The day that Mikey eXtreme turned a normal tag team match into a blood bath of epic proportions. The day that Tiffany White, would be beaten to within inches of her life while Vengeance was too helpless to offer any kind of assistance. The night that Mikey eXtreme hand delivered Chance Von Crank a win.

The scene fades as Mikey gets off the bed and walks towards the minibar.

Crank?

Mikey sits in the back seat of the van that they take from town to town. Vidalia sits in the passenger seat and Freakshow drives.

Mikey eXtreme: Who the fuck am I teaming up with again?

Vidalia: Chance Von Crank, I believe you said.

Mikey eXtreme: That’s really his name? Give me your phone for a minute.

Mikey didn’t have a fancy phone like everyone else. He had a piece of shit that he could use to make calls and texts if needed. Vidalia had the latest iPhone and Mikey used it to access information about his next matches and what not.

He went to WCFWrestling.com and found the page on Chance Von Crank.

Mikey eXtreme: Wow.

Mikey could not believe what he was seeing.

Mikey eXtreme: Are you fucking kidding me?

Vidalia: What’s the matter?

Mikey eXtreme: He’s just some fucking redneck.

Vidalia: What?

Mikey eXtreme: Really. He’s just some random redneck that I think Seth found off the street.

They all share a laugh.

Mikey eXtreme: No, but really, this is just fucking ridiculous. I have to team up with this fucking dude? Look at his fucking mullet! You can not be serious.

Mikey was fuming.

Mikey eXtreme: This dude better be able to hold his own, because if I have to do all the work in this match, I’m going to be furious,

Vidalia: Who has he beat?

Mikey eXtreme: I’ve been too busy with real WCF action to care about what anyone else has been doing. Hold on, let me check.

Mikey scrolls through to the results page.

Mikey eXtreme: Well, it says here that he lost in a match that involved Tiffany White, but he sprung back the next week beating some chump named Nagaski? Wait.. what the fuck?

Vidalia: What?

Mikey eXtreme: It says here he was arrested DURING Fifteen?

Vidalia: What? How did we miss that?

Mikey eXtreme: Well, we were getting ready for a REAL match at that time. But, fuck, is this dude even going to be able to be at Slam? What if the fucking asshole has to stay in jail?

You know what, I’m just going to assume that he is not going to be there. This will be a handicap match and I am totally prepared to win this by myself. I don’t need Joe Dirt to beat these two.

They all share a laugh again as the scene fades.

SLAM 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Mikey sits inside a Friendly’s restaurant. Across from him sits Vidalia, and Freakshow sits at an adjoining table. Mikey has a bacon cheeseburger with fries on the table ahead of him, Vidalia has a chicken finger combo. Freakshow, the giant, has pretty much one of every item on the menu.

The three of them are all eating when all of a sudden the Friendly’s crew begin to sing their Birthday jingle to Mikey while holding a cake.

All to Mikey’s confusion.

Once they finish singing, Mikey speaks up.

Mikey eXtreme: It’s not my fucking birthday?

Man: What? She told us it was!

The man points to Vidalia.

Vidalia: Yeah, I lied. It’s actually much more important. It’s his 1 year anniversary at his job!

Man: Wow.. I’ve been here for 3 years and you don’t see me having a party.

Mikey eXtreme: You know, I was going to tell you how rude it is to point at people.. Don’t they give you some kind of lesson in hospitality? But, there was no reason to be a dick to her.

The man freezes, he didn’t mean to say what he said but it just slipped out.

Mikey eXtreme: Furthermore, this burger tastes like shit.

Mikey was about to get up and land a vicious super kick on the asshole waiter when all of a sudden a voice rang out from behind.

Man 2: Can you please stop looking at us, you’re scaring my son!

A man was yelling at Freakshow, his son was in tears at the next table.

Man 2: We just want to eat in peace!

All of a sudden a vicious super kick hits the man in the face and he slams face first into his plate of chicken tenders.

Mikey eXtreme: Watch Slam this week kid, and stop being a pussy.

Mikey and company exit the Friendly’s as the scene fades to black.
