The scene opens up in Gravedigger's nightclub, The Graveyard. Instead of the normal club atmosphere, the furniture has been replaced with folding chairs. Seated in the chairs are reporters from local, national, and international news stations. Newspapers are represented here too, and finally Hank Brown of WCF is also in attendance. Cameramen and photographers line the walls snapping away photographs at the people on stage.
The stage is set up with a couple of tables. The tables have tablecloths over them which are decorated to honor The Dark Side. There are four microphones on the sides and in the center of the tables seats a podium. Seated at the table are Mike D, Dobbie, Chester, and Jayson Stasiak. The cameras flash and the crowd starts chattering as Gravedigger walks out from backstage, Jessie following closely behind.
Gravedigger adjusts his tie and holds his hands out to quiet the crowd and to calm down the flash photography a little bit.
Gravedigger: I want to thank all of you here for this press conference concerning this Sunday's WCF Explosion. I al---wait.
Gravedigger turns to Chester.
Gravedigger: You know what I should do? I should rename the pay-per-view to WCF Gravedigger's Explosion. That would be like the most amazing thing ever wouldn't it?
Dobbie leans forward to his mic.
Dobbie: Yo Digger, Dobbie thinks that would be illin', yo. You should stick Dobbie's na---
Gravedigger leans back and looks backstage. He points at Dobbie and traces an invisible line across his neck. Dobbie's mic is turned off and it takes him a few seconds to notice this. He then starts getting mad and fussing. Mike D doubles over in laughter which makes Dobbie even madder. Dobbie shoves Mike who responds by slapping Dobbie in the back of the head. The force of Mike's swing causes Dobbie's head to hit the table and bounce off. Chester starts laughing like crazy. Jayson gets up and starts yelling at Dobbie and Mike and they both calm down. Jayson takes his seat as Gravedigger continues.
Gravedigger: Uh...yeah, anyway. Like I said, I want to thank you all for coming here. As you know this Sunday will be one of the biggest...if not THE biggest WCF pay-per views ever in its history. Chester, Dobbie, Mike D and myself will be taking on the team of Corey Black, Logan, Dake Ken, and Torture. If Torture's team wins, Seth Lerch regains control of Wrestling Championship Federation. However, if...excuse me, I mean WHEN The Dark Side wins, I will then become the Wrestling Championship Federation World Heavyweight Champion.
Now, I eventually want to speak on my own about something I have to say, however, I will allow those of you in attendance to ask questions at this time.
All the reporters immediately jump to their feet and all try asking questions at the same time. Gravedigger spots someone and motions for everyone to be seated and quiet down. Gravedigger ends up pointing at Hank Brown.
Random Reporter: *cough* bullshit *cough*
Gravedigger glares in the reporter's direction and motions to him.
Gravedigger: Aaaaaaand, you're dumb. Get him out.
The reporter protests but is dragged out anyway. Dobbie leans over to Mike D's mic.
Dobbie: YO Bitches best respect Dobbie's boy Gravedigger up he---
Mike D yanks the microphone away from Dobbie. Gravedigger turns to Hank Brown and motions for him to ask his question.
HB: Despite the fact that Seth Lerch's team didn't look all that cohesive this past week on Slam, do you think there's any chance you still might lose at the pay-per-view anyway?
Gravedigger smiles.
Gravedigger: First of all, that was a terrible question, Hank. You're fired!
Hank looks shocked. Gravedigger laughs.
Gravedigger: Gotcha, Hank! Remember, I'm your boss, I can do that!
Hank looks relieved. Gravedigger gets serious.
Gravedigger: No, I'm extremely confident that we will win this Sunday at Explosion. Like you said, the WCF's elite can't get along with each other. They each one have an agenda. Have you seen what they've been saying thus far since the match was proposed the other week? They're all acting like it's going to be them, individually, who will save WCF from the clutches of The Dark Side. To be honest, I don't see what the big fuss is about having me as owner? Aside from making the wrestlers park all the way at the front of the entire arena each week instead of near the dressing rooms, I have been a pretty nice owner here at WCF.
Scoffs are heard among some of the crowd members. Gravedigger looks in their general direction.
Gravedigger: That's an unfair reaction. I have only gotten revenge upon....attacked....harrassed...brutalized...
Gravedigger smirks.
Gravedigger: and in general...destroyed...those who have gotten in my way. Those who have decided to stick their nose in the business of myself or my fellow stablemates here. I have only made life hell for those who have sided with Mr. Seth Lerch.
A reporter holds up their hand. Gravedigger acknowledges them.
Reporter #1: So, I don't think you ever truly explained your problem with Seth Lerch. We know you were a little annoyed at not being invited back when WCF re-opened. Is that it?
Gravedigger smirks again.
Gravedigger: A LITTLE annoyed? I was pissed off. How dare Seth Lerch ignore me...the Epitome of Hardcore when bringing back WCF. How DARE Seth start up a world title tournament, a belt that is rightfully mine. A belt that I never really lost. See, Torture's one thing he always runs his mouth about is how he keeps holding that world title and never loses it. The thing is, I'm a two-time WCF world champion and both times I held that title, I did not lose it in a match. I was a two-time world champion in 2003. I had to give back the world title the first time due to a horrific match with Hellz Angel and Creeping Death. It was such a hardcore, brutal match that the three of us could not even finish the match. I was stripped of the title due to injury and then won it back 6 weeks later. One month later I retired from wrestling. Nearly six years ago and here I stand before you today as WCF owner. I plan on leaving with that belt back around my waist. Back to your question though, I've also been doing this just because I can.
Another reporter raises their hand and is acknowledged.
Reporter #2: We saw this past week that Seth Lerch challenged your manager, Jayson Stasiak, to a one-on-one match for the right to be the first team with two members in the ring at the same time. Are you guys confident in Jayson Stasiak's chances to win said encounter?
Gravedigger looks at Jayson and nods, then turns back to the reporter.
Gravedigger: Yes, we are very confident in his chances at winning. Jayson will bring us in strong into the Explosion match. Chester and Dobbie have been showing him some more wrestling holds and he's been practicing them. He will be trained more starting tomorrow and will be a beast in the ring this Sunday.
Jayson leans forward into his mic.
Jayson: I'm not afraid to admit that I'm not great in the wrestling ring, but the thing is, I don't have to worry about it. Look who I roll with! The Epitome of Hardcore himself! His younger brother, Chester, a multiple time tag team champion and a master of the technical side of wrestling. I also have the muscular monster, Mike D.
Mike D flexes and cameras flash. Jayson looks at Dobbie and looks confused.
Jayson: Yeah and then there's Dobbie. He's....he can kick people in the face or something.
Jayson trails off at the end of his statement and Dobbie gives him a dirty look. Gravedigger speaks again.
Gravedigger: We will dominate again this Sunday. Everyone saw how dominant we were this past week on Slam. Mike D and myself defeated Timebomb....once again.
Gravedigger rolls his eyes.
Gravedigger: You then saw us standing on the ramp as a cohesive, united group while Seth's group of misfits stood in the ring bickering with each other over who was abused the most as a child. Next question.
Another reporter is acknowledged.
Reporter #3: So if your team DOES win the match, who will you defend the world title against first?
Gravedigger grins.
Gravedigger: Anyone who feels they deserve a shot at it. Maybe at the following Slam, I will have a battle royal to see who would be the number one contender for my title. Now, that's enough of the questions. I have a match to prepare for and you guys have news to spin, so let's cut the crap. This Sunday, The Dark Side will prevail. We have The Dark Side against some of the most well-known talent to ever step foot in a WCF ring. I can admit that. They're great talent...but...it's not going to be good enough. I have the world title set in my sights. I will win it this Sunday. All the major talent here in WCF will be involved in that 8-man tag team match. Everyone will witness as my plan comes full circle with me as owner and WCF world champion.
The scene fades to black.
