The scene opens up on the outside patio of a local Mexican restaurant in an undisclosed location. The clink of silverware can be heard hitting the plate as the cameraman rounds the corner to see a group of men and one woman gathered around a table. They are all easily recognizable from Gravedigger’s days as Hector Rodriguez in WCF. Gravedigger is of course sitting in one seat with one of his women, JJ (Juanita Juarez for those unfamiliar with MS-13’s last stint in WCF) standing behind him, her arms wrapped around his shoulders. He turns to the bald, hulking, tattooed man to his right, Adrian, and sighs.
Gravedigger: Man, this was an awesome idea to come here. I am stuffed.
Adrian grins.
Adrian: I told you that the food was amazing here, vato.
The other man sitting across the table from Adrian reaches across and bumps fists with Adrian. It’s another member of MS-13 and someone recognized from WCF television, Phobeya.
Phobeya: You know that’s right.
Everyone looks towards the camera as Gravedigger notices the cameraman walk up.
Gravedigger: Have you been spying on us or something? You arrived at the exact perfect timing so as not to interrupt lunch.
Cameraman: I was actually running late.
Phobeya gets up from the table quickly and sticks his fork near the cameraman’s eye who freaks out.
Phobeya: You’re lucky you were late, homes. It would have been bad for you.
Gravedigger: Phobeya, leave the man alone.
Phobeya laughs softly and sits back down, turning his attention back to his almost finished plate of food.
Gravedigger: I’m glad he’s here. You had lunch yet?
The cameraman who has regained his composure from Phobeya’s outburst shakes his head quickly. Gravedigger glances at Adrian who turns and looks off-screen and gestures at someone. A young Hispanic woman walks on-screen, glances nervously at the camera and turns to Gravedigger.
Waitress: Yes, Mr. Gravedigger?
Gravedigger gestures at the cameraman as he speaks.
Gravedigger: After we’re done here, clean off our table and bring this man whatever he wants. I’ll leave enough money to cover whatever he orders plus some extra for the service and great food.
The waitress nods her head.
Waitress: Yes, sir, Mr. Gravedigger. I will do that and gracias. Is this WCF camera?
Gravedigger nods his head. The waitress grabs the lens and pulls it towards her. Everyone at the table looks at her curiously.
Waitress: Odin, you big bitch. Gravedigger great man. He break Odin’s neck.
She lets go of the camera and walks off in a huff. Gravedigger looks at her walking away in disbelief while both Adrian and Phobeya crack up laughing for a few seconds. Gravedigger turns back to the camera.
Gravedigger: Ok, that was odd. Anyway, yes, Odin…the waitress was right. You are a big bitch and I am a great man. I have to disagree however with the part about me breaking your neck. One is right around the corner and I would hate for the world champion to be incapacitated for the biggest show of the year for WCF. I would hate for Seth to either not have a world title match at One or have to strip you of the title and have a match where he has to crown a new champion. See, despite what you think, I’m a businessman. So I know that breaking your neck would be a bad idea. However, what I plan on breaking this week on Slam is your confidence. I will break your ego. I will break your arrogance. Here right now, on camera, I’m going to break something of yours now…I’m going to break your stupidity.
Gravedigger scoffs.
Gravedigger: I know what you’re thinking. ‘Break your stupidity’? Sounds crazy right? Well the thing is, after that press conference you had, that’s all I can think of you after hearing you go on and on with your history lesson of what you’ve accomplished here in WCF and what you believe I have accomplished. You also went on and on about why you think I’m here and you ragged on me about being the hardcore champion. Well, never fear WCF fans and fellow wrestlers, Gravedigger will set the record straight because I’m sure after listening to your promo that everyone is wondering exactly which history book you were doing your history lesson from because it certainly wasn’t the official WCF history book.
First of all you try and compare yourself to me saying we’ve both retired a lot. We have? I have? I have only retired from wrestling once as far as I can remember and that was back in 2003. Yes, I have made brief appearances for a few weeks here and there over the years, but each time I left wasn’t due to retiring. Like I said earlier, I’m a businessman. I own my own nightclub. I dabble in other business ventures as well. Honestly, I stay here as long as the competition is worth it and the company keeps my attention. I returned this time for business reasons. You act like I’m back because I have something to prove. What in the hell do I have to prove? You really are stupid, aren’t you? I’m one of the most accomplished if not THE most accomplished wrestlers in WCF history.
I am a multiple time world champion, multiple time tag team champion, a US champion and now I’m apparently the hardcore champion as well. I’ve won a War event, something I will point out that you weren’t able to do this year. I won the War event when the WCF roster was bursting at the seams. It was bursting at the seams with some of the greatest wrestlers in the company’s history. I went on to defeat the three former winners the next month and all three of those men are now in the Hall of Fame that you go on to insult which I will address in a moment. I destroyed Seth Lerch in the middle of the ring and took over this company for several months while its top stars failed to take it away from me until a big cage match was what won it back for Seth. After eventually being ejected from the company, I donned a mask and as Hector Rodriguez I rose from the bottom of WCF to once again become the world champion by once again defeating the best WCF had at the time. Many of those same wrestlers are still here in WCF today. I ended up actually shutting this company down for a time before it was able to recover. So you tell me what I have to prove, Odin Balfore.
Gravedigger turns to Adrian.
Gravedigger: Did you hear the part when he said that I have returned to deliver vengeance because I came up short years ago?
Adrian laughs.
Gravedigger: What have I ever come up short on? Honestly, the only thing I have ever really come up short on that I wasn’t able to do was defeat Torture and I think we only had like one or two one-on-one matches ever. So as far as coming up short on anything, that would about be it. Maybe you can enlighten me on what I have come up short on in my career. I would be so interested in hearing you say something else stupid.
Oh but hold on, there’s more. You’ve said some more gems that I would like to address. You talk trash about me and my supposed hardcore persona and all that. The hardcore title means nothing to me. I’ll go ahead and publicly admit that Oblivion was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I could care less for the hardcore title. I will successfully defend it until I get tired of it. It will not be taken from me until I am ready to hand it back to Seth Lerch. Hardcore isn’t a persona for me, it’s a way of life. You sit there and run your big mouth about how you’ve retired and shelved all these people. You talk about all the bodies you’ve left laying. I was doing that back in 2003. I did it in 2008, 2009 and 2010 as well, so I don’t know where you’re getting this 2003-2008 stint. Between 2004 and 2008 I had very minor appearances on my record.
Let’s turn this from me to what you’ve done here in WCF. First of all your remarks about the Hall of Famers. You sit there and you talk like you’ve beaten so many of them and I’m just another one in a long line of them that you’re going to beat. What long line are you talking about? You’ve defeated Logan and Creeping Death. There’s like 10-15 people in the Hall of Fame and you’ve only beaten two of them. Logan? You honestly think that’s supposed to be impressive? I don’t think I have a single loss to the guy and if I do, it’s only one and we’ve fought a few times over the years, not only in WCF but in other companies as well. And Creeping Death? I don’t think I have a loss to him either. I have won tag titles and world titles while in the ring with the guy. So should that impress me that you’ve beaten him? I’ve beaten several more of the Hall of Famers than you have, so don’t come at me with that bullshit.
You talk about all the people you’ve beaten yet none of them impress me. You talk about your 8 tag team titles, but explain to me how your accomplishments in other federations mean anything here in WCF? Here in WCF, your only accomplishment you can hold over me is defeating Johnny Reb since the only time we faced, he defeated me. That’s it. And if you do want to start bragging about titles in other federations, I could go on for 5 minutes telling you about my MANY world titles I’ve won in other places. I could also point out how your meager 8 tag titles pales in comparison to the amount I have won elsewhere over the years with my brother Chester as Exodus. Oh and as for ring rust and old bones, again you’re a moron. My last match in WCF was the week after you made your debut here. I wrestled in top form with zero ring rust against Roy Speede in a tag team match. The old bones makes you look stupid as well since I’m only in my mid-30s.
Gravedigger stops and takes a drink from his glass before continuing.
Gravedigger: Let’s move on to Slam. You claimed you were going to powerbomb my ass back to 2003 which I still find funny. You thought you’d be all sly and smart looking by going through my history here in WCF. Let’s hope that this week on Slam that your ability at recalling and researching history isn’t as bad as your in-ring ability. 2003 wasn’t my prime. My prime, when I was at my best was in 2008-early 2011 when I was a tag team champion at the beginning of this year. That means I’m likely still in my prime, you buffoon.
So this week on Slam, Mara Salvatrucha returns to WCF. This week everyone will be watching as Gravedigger steps back into the ring against his old nemesis Creeping Death and the world champion Odin Balfore. I have faced Creeping Death many times before and I have defeated him many times before. You , Balfore, I’ve never been in the ring with you. I have watched you on television winning the majority of your matches, but as I pointed out, you’ve defeated people I have already beaten before as well. You act like since you’re the big, bad world champion that you have nothing to prove and it is me with everything to prove, but that’s completely untrue.
You’re going up against Gravedigger. You’re going up against a former War winner. You’re going up against a 3-time WCF tag team and 3 time WCF world champion. You’re going up against a Hall of Famer that you haven’t faced before. You’re going up against a legend, a man who took over this company, defeated almost all of its top stars…men you have faced in your world title matches I might add. If you really think this match will be a walk in the park for you, then you’re a lot dumber than I originally thought. Maybe you need to take all that I’ve said here and brush up on your history some. This isn’t just any other match. I’m not just another Hall of Famer in your way to becoming a legend in WCF. I will show you who I am when I drop you on your big head on Slam and knock some sense into you.
Now, we’re about to head out so the cameraman can get something to eat. I hate that this first promo back had to be mainly a history lesson, but the record had to be set straight. WCF, you will hear from MS-13 again. Stay tuned…
The scene fades to black.
