We open up to a talk show set with a big WCF banner hanging in the background, and Hank Brown sitting on a chair. Next to Hank is a table, and then another chair.
Hank Brown: Welcome to WCFTalk, the longest reigning internet talk show to have no viewers. This week, we're going to break down the War match, but first, our guest this evening is none other than the creator of Thirteen, Corey Black!
The fans in the studio audience stand and clap politely as Corey walks out from behind the banner. He shakes Hank's hand and takes a seat next to him.
Hank Brown: Good to see you again, Corey. Let's get right down to business. A retirement match? Already?
Corey Black: Yes sir, Mr. Brown. I figure if I can't beat Torture, there is no reason for me to be an active wrestler here.
Hank Brown: This won't be some gimmicky thing where you come back under a mask, or even the Creeping Death face paint, is it?
Corey Black: Of course not. Assuming I'm beat, as soon as the bell rings, Gravedigger has full authority to rip my contract to shreds.
Hank Brown: Speaking of Gravedigger, why won't you help out Seth Lerch in his bid to regain control of WCF?
Corey Black: I don't see why I should help a guy that will just do the same thing Gravedigger is doing to me. Seth might be all buddy buddy now, but in two months, he'll join the Team of Treachery and it'll all be the same. I'm just saving myself the trouble of dealing with that.
Hank Brown: Fair enough, history DOES seem to repeat itself. Enough of that tangent, I want to know more about Thirteen.
Corey Black: Well, Hank, the card is stacked to the moon. On top of my match with Torture, there's a dream Tag Team Grudge Match with Rick Mad and Jack of Blades taking on Skyler Striker and Logan. I honestly don't know how I keep getting JoB and Striker to appear on my show, but it's fantastic. Plus, there's the GWC Title Farewell Match featuring many former GWC superstars, and from what I'm hearing, a crazy surprise. The final match will be your typical awesome Ladder Match I love, as Gravedigger has to climb up and get by Chris Avery, Biohazard, and fuckin' Snad.
Hank Brown: Snad?! Seriously?!
Corey Black: Yep, that crazy bastard is going to make WCF hell, I'm telling you right now.
Hank Brown: Corey, I'd like to thank you for your time. Good luck at Thirteen.
Corey Black: Thank you, Hank.
Corey gets up and walks off the stage. The camera follow him, though, and stops focusing on the show, which is taking a break. Corey walks through the backstage area of the WCF Arena, and comes to a locker room. He walks in and sees Nikki Venus waiting for him.
Nikki Venus: Nice promotion job, champ.
Corey Black: I thought so. I need to generate all the money I can with this show, might be the last.
Nikki Venus: On to business though, Torture is going through the motions of a man walking into a retirement match. Talking to old friends, all that.
Corey Black: Sigh, I knew he would. He's going for sympathy instead of victory. When I finally pin his ass down, people won't think of it as a victory for me, but a loss for him. Such a bitch.
Nikki Venus: Fair assessment. You don't think he could be, you know, scared?
Corey Black: Oh I know he is. I am. We're both financially set for life, but the fact remains, we both love WCF too. It's going to be tough not having any kind of contract here. Whoever loses, loses the one thing they keep coming back to over and over and over, despite being shit on constantly for it. That's what makes this so ridiculous. It's really all or nothing for us here. World Champion or nothing, not even a match with Felipe Salarose, not even a big retirement celebration. Friday night will be the last time Torture or myself are seen contracted by WCF.
Nikki Venus: I totally understand, hun. I'm just afraid you won't be able to pull it off.
Corey Black: Trust me, I am too. I've never gone into a match fearing for the outcome more than this one, and I've been thrown in some fucked up shit before. Chambers, handicap matches, casket, barbed wire, everything.
Nikki Venus: I know Corey, I know. You know what you need to do.
Corey Black: Yeah, I do. I'll see you Friday.
Corey gives Nikki a hug before heading out the locker room door.
Nikki Venus: Such a fool, but such a fighter.
Nikki sighs as the scene fades out.
