( "Praise" by Sevendust hits and the fans begin to cheer as Crazy Bill comes out on the stage. The fans start to get louder as Crazy Bill holds the old ICW Heavyweight title high above his head. He looks somewhat bothered as he makes his way to the ring. He slaps hands with a few fans and rolls right into the ring. His music fades as he is handed a mic. The fans begin to settle as Crazy Bill looks at the old ICW Title he held just a few weeks ago.)
Crazy Bill:
It seems like such a short time since I could hold this title and it meant something. But it hasn't been that long. Not as long as I've been running after titles like these. But, the CWA and ICW closed it's doors and, well, my pride and joy doesn't mean anything. But we are here not to mourn the death of the CWA. WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF THE IWF!
(The fans cheer Crazy Bill as he tosses the ICW Title out into the crowd. Someone grabs it and holds it close to them so no one can take it from them. Crazy Bill grins as he looks around at the cheering fans.)
Crazy Bill:
I've been around for many years. I have seen federations come and go. But I have never seen people with such a strive to make one the biggest thing in the world. Guy like Croc, Donzig, Jonas Lee and your hero...MJW.
(The fans cheer MJW's name as Crazy Bill just continues)
Crazy Bill:
I have seen talent come and go. I have been running with some people for years. But the IWF is a fresh start and these guys are going to do what they always do...MAKE IT HUGE!
(THe fans cheer as Crazy Bill erges them on. After a few seconds he calms them down and goes forth)
Crazy Bill:
Every single time I step out from a backstage area, I see a steel stage that reminds me of all the times I was thrown off or jumped off of it. I see the announcers chair and I think about all the times it has busted me open. I see the ring mat and remember all the blood that I have given to it. I look at the fans and I remember why I have been doing what I love..... because of all of you!
(THe fans are starting to get a little sour as they sense something is up.)
Crazy Bill:
I told myself that when the time has come I would go out on a high note. I would have gold, I won't send my body to hell...and I'd wrap it all up.
(Fans are now booing as they can see where this is going)
Crazy Bill:
I was the one holding that ICW title when it closed. And it was a sign. The IWF opened and it's time for the new faces to step forward and take this place to the stop. They can face in epic matches against legends that will take them to their limit. Like Croc, Anthony Jordan, Donzig.... and myself. Well, not all of them. You see, as it's time for the new faces and fresh blood to take over...it's time for the Architect of Hardcore to bow out. And that's why....
(Crazy Bill has to stop cause of all the booing from the fans. He grins and starts to look very emotional)
Crazy Bill:
And that's why, I am going to retire from the ring...right here, right now.....
(Fans boo as "Can't Tell Me Nothin" by Kanye West starts to play, the fans expect to see Mr Kash but the music suddenly scretches to a hault, moments late ‘LIVE FOREVER’ hits and the roof of the arena lifts as ‘The Ringmaster’ walks out onto the stage. Crazy Bills are trying to focus to check to see if its really who he knows it must be.
The RM is dressed to impress in a sharp beige suit and white shirt. His silver hair slicked back, looking very good for his mature years. The Ringmaster walks to the ring, he climbs the steps and a crew member holds open the ropes as he ducks in, walking across and pass Bill he is passed a mic. He walks back to the centre and the music cuts)
The Ringmaster:
You seem surprised to see The Ringmaster?!?!
No need to answer right now, the Ringmaster has some explaining to do.
You see when the ‘Dravens’ sold up and shipped out, they didn’t sell to some pimped up 50 Cent wannabee, in fact the entire estate was not sold to anyone, it was in handed to the only man capable of handling it, the only man with the experience and sheer genius to continue leading the company on the path to greatness.
So the CWA and all its assets were transferred to the greatness name this business has even known, ‘The Ringmaster’. When my son, my blood, passed away it was time for ‘Daddy’ to step up and take the reigns, and thats whats happening right here right now.
Some over paid advisor thought we could catch a new demographic with ‘Mr Kash’, but it bombed, fans want the real deal and it does not come any more real than The Ringmaster!
So people, and you Crazy Bill, your looking at the OWNER of the IWF!
(The fans pop again, excited about a new era beginning with an old skooler leading the way.)
The Ringmaster:
And The Ringmasters first order of business is to sort you out Crazy Bill, now from the days of the Flock to this very present day we have had our ups and downs. But The Ringmaster is not here to beg you to stay, you have to do what you have to do. The IWF will grow into the greatest success story ever with, or without you!
So what i have here is a contract, its needs to be signed. You want out of the IWF then here it is.
The Ringmaster reaches into his inside pocket and pulls out the paper work
The Ringmaster:
Oh, but I have a stip in here that might will make you think about staying..... Once this is signed, you will be in an official no compete clause. A clause that will keep you from wrestling, anywhere in this world.....you sign this and Crazy Bill and Wrestling are OVER, FOREVER!
(The fans boo a little, they do not want Bill to sign. As Crazy bill contemplates the clauses in the contract he looks out to the fans, they don’t want him to sign his career away forever, but Bill looks set. He snatches a pen from The Ringmaster.
As the fans begin to boo, the sound is drowned out as BIG EGO hits! The boos turn to cheers as the fans know that their Hero will be coming out to hopefully change things around.
As Bill and The Ringmaster look to the entrance, “The EGO” MJW steps out. He is dressed more casual than normal with dark blue jeans and a black polo shirt. MJ does not hang about, he heads straight down the ramp, walking around the ring and taking a mic before sliding under the bottom rope, standing up he looks to The Ringmaster and they exchange a hand shake. MJ then turns to Bill as the music cuts
“The EGO” MJW
So Bill, you finally lost your bottle???
the fans let out an ‘oohhhh’ as Bill’s eyes widen and he tenses up. MJ smiles immediately, knowing that he can hit a nerve with the Crazy one.
“The EGO” MJW
I got to say im more than a little disappointed...
...you see Bill, your looking at the man who is the present and future of this business, your also looking at the man who will be the IWF World Champion...
...but to be a worthy champion you have to beat the best, and without sounding like a sounding like a therapist on the Oprah show...your one of the very best!
the mood shifts slightly as it is obvious that MJW means what he says. Bill’s tension eases slightly
“The EGO” MJW
Fact is Bill, im talking on behalf of the millions around the world and every single person in this arena when I tell you that this is where you belong...the wrestling business without Crazy Bill will not be the same place...
...I know we have all walked away at times, taken time off to try other things, to sort out heads out or to let our bodies rest...
...but Bill, you sign this contract and there is no coming back, its over...its forever...
...this is not some bullshit Mick Foley retirement, you sign that and the deal is sealed, Crazy Bill will never ever take someone to the Assylum again!
MJ front up to Bill, trying to get some emotion from him. Bill looks like he is going to consider changing his mind...
...but then he moves MJ aside and steps forward and grabs the paperwork, the fans turn as he looks to checking out were to sign. MJ turns around and slaps the pen out of Bills hand to huge cheers. Bill pushes MJ back as The Ringmaster gets involved so that a brawl does not break out.
“The EGO” MJW
Fuck that Bill, im not going to let it be that easy for you...
...you want to leave? You want out of all of this?..
...well only you can make that decision in the end, but your not walking out without giving everyone what they fucking want...
...and the people want MJW Vs CRAZY BILL!!!
The Ringmaster gets a huge smile on his face
“The EGO” MJW
And Bill, im not talking about a nice gentle goodbye match...
...if your determined to leave this business than MJW wants to beat the fucking hell out of you and kick you out the DAMN DOOR!!!
MJ moves forward and is not almost chest to chest with Crazy Bill...MJ continues to shout down the mic
“The EGO” MJW
SO GROW A FUCKING SET AND LET THIS HAPPEN! ONE LAST MATCH, AND BILL, YOU CAN SIGN ALL THE CONTRACTS YOU LIKE AFTER BECAUSE ONCE IM DONE WITH YOU...
...’NEVER WRESTLING AGAIN’ WILL NOT BE SOMETHING YOU HAVE ANY SAY IN, BECAUSE ILL CRIPPLED YOUR ARSE!!!
MJ is spitting venom as he does his best to work Bill into a frenzy! It looks like its all going to explode, the fans are cheering like er ‘crazy’.
Crazy Bill looks at The Ringmaster, then at MJW. Bill looks confused about what to do. The fans boo as he picks up the pen. MJW rolls his eyes and looks dissapointed. The Ringmaster smirks as Crazy Bill flips open the contract. He then starts to write. After a few seconds, he motions for the RM to come over. The Ringmaster reads what Bill wrote and the two men shake hands. Crazy Bill then writes again, hands the paper and pen to The Ringmaster then stares at MJW)
The Ringmaster:
Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know that The Ringmaster does not dissapoint. So, I am pleased to announce the official retirment of CRAZY BILL!
(The fans start to boo all around as a few are screaming "NOOOOOO!")
The Ringmaster:
You will not see Crazy Bill performing in this ring again....Until April 20th! WHEN HE FACES MJW IN A DEATH MATCH!
(The fans start go nuts as MJW smirks and begins to slowly applaud Crazy Bill. Crazy Bill takes a mic and raises it to speak)
Crazy Bill:
You want it....these fans want it.... I WANT IT! One last blood bath before I depart. Michael, you will be my next...and last match in teh wrestling world. I'm pleased to give the fans what they want.... But I'm sorry it will be the most memorable blood bath ever....at your expense.....
(Crazy Bill and MJW stare each other down in the ring as the fans cheer and the show goes to it's first commercial break.
...
Back from the break and the Ringmaster is still in the ring, MJW and Crazy Bill have gone, but The Ringmaster has more to say
The Ringmaster:
So thats one match signed, sealed and delivered, time for some more i think.
Now lets start from the bottom! Starting at the bottom means starting with one ‘Role Model’ Anthony Jordan!
You see Anthony Jordan is a name that has been linked to The Ringmaster over the years, and now Anthony Jordan seems to believe that he has just been signed to the biggest money contract in the history of the business.
Well Anthony, unfortunately for you, you put your trust in Mr Kash and he screwed up. It was the Ringmaster who drafted the contract and you really should have looked at it more closely because not only are you now and IWF Superstar, meaning you are no longer a ‘outside contractor’, but you are on a very very basic salary, oh and you will also have to start from the very bottom of the ladder, you will not be getting anywhere near the IWF World title until The Ringmaster is satisfied that you have earned your spot.
This is not the BWA, your going to have to work for your glory!
So the second match being announced is the opening match of ‘New Beginnings’ on April 20th, ‘The Role Model’ Anthony Jordan Vs Jonny London!!!
But we still have 2 championships to decide, there has been talk of a tournament but you know what, ‘been there and done that’!
Lets get back to basics, The Ringmaster has hand picked the men who will be fighting it out, now firstly regards the IWF TV Championship, as it stands we will see Chris James taking on Alexis Morningstar to determine the 1st TV Champ!, but seeing as im all about opportunity, if there any superstars in the back that think they have what it takes to be in with a chance at the TV Championship, then make yourselves known to ME by April 13th and you might just get added!!!
And that leaves the big one, the crowning of the very first IWF WORLD CHAMPION, and The Ringmaster is going for big names on this one,
It will be contested under 2-3 Falls, it will be a One on One match and it will be between THE AUSSIE ICON CROC and THE AMERICAN DESTORYER DONZIG!!!!!!!
with that last huge announcement, LIVE FOREVER hits, the fans pop. The Ringmaster salutes the fans and the very first introduction into the IWF’s future has been set!
