Croc Appreciation Month

["The Aussie Icon" Croc]

(The arena plunges into darkness and the crowd is left confused for a few moments before the arena is lit up by “Breakstuff” by Limp Bizkit blasting through the PA system and the spectacular light show that is Croc’s entrance. The crowd boos awaiting the anticipated arrival of the Aussie Icon but is left confused when Croc does not appear from the stage. The music cuts out and the lights come back on and an unknown male in a suit walks onto the stage. The man is holding an IWF microphone)


(UNKNOWN MAN)
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honour and your privilege that I present to you the greatest tag team wrestler of all time… He is the Aussie Icon… He is CROC!


(“Breakstuff” by Limp Bizkit begins again and Croc appears on the stage much to the disgust of the audience. Croc has his newly obtained IWF Tag Team Championship belt draped over his shoulder)


(CROSS)
I don’t know how Croc can claim he is the greatest tag team wrestler of all time, when he was simply handed the tag team title by MJW and Ringmaster.

(VENTURA)
It is the fact that he didn’t have to win the title and yet is still the champion that makes him so great. People want to team with his greatness.


(Croc has made his way down to the ring and is looking ever so smug with his newly acquired gold. Croc rolls into the ring and is handed a microphone)


(CROC)
Thank you… Thank you… Thank you!


(Crowd boos loudly)


(CROC)
Firstly I would like to thank Ringmaster for making this all happen. I mean I am awesome but you are the best at recognizing my awesomeness and truly utilizing my awesomeness to make this company great.


(Croc nods his head as he points to the camera)


(CROC)
Secondly I would like to thank you MJ… I want to thank you for actually realizing that these stupid fans were bringing you down and that you needed someone like me in order to reach the top. I would like to thank you and welcome you to the most dominant and feared group in the history of professional wrestling… The Faction!


(Croc takes a deep breath as if he is getting emotional)


(CROC)
But most importantly I would like to thank myself… Some people are born with nothing and then they grow up to become nothing… Those people are you people…


(Very loud boos)


(CROC)
But I was born with every god given talent and I not only made something of myself, I made myself into the greatest superstar and brand name in the entire world. I have executives from Coke and McDonalds ringing me up asking me how they could become more well known… I am so famous that Jesus Christ himself wants my god damn autograph… In my presence, the Pope himself bends down and kisses my beautiful feet… And Santa himself has only 2 things he wants for Christmas… The new Croc T-shirt and the soon to be released Best of Croc DVD!


(Croc smirks as he paces around the ring)


(CROC)
But enough about me…


(Croc laughs)


(CROC)
Oh I never get sick of that zany joke… As if there is ever enough about me!


(CROSS)
My god Croc is arrogant.

(VENTURA)
Just admit Chris that you wish you could be 1% as successful as Croc!


(CROC)
But on Revolution I became one half of the greatest tag team in the history of this business when the British Hero and the Aussie Icon united and in conjunction with Ringmaster, the greatest stable was born. The Faction is about to set the IWF on fire and there is not a thing that anyone in the IWF can do about it.


(Croc smirks)


(CROC)
I demanded MJW give me an apology after Payback for costing me the title… But instead of coming out in public and apologizing, dropped into the Faction’s locker-room and apologized to me personally… He then also made a request for help. He knew that he had to get back the Ego and throw the expectations of you disloyal fans aside if he was going to reach the top. And who better to enlist than the most successful man in this business… The multiple times World Champion and the most recognizable face of the industry… The Aussie Icon Croc!


(Loud boos from the crowd)


(CROC)
And with that, I agreed to assist MJW become what he promised to be when he first burst onto the scene… A champion!


(Croc paces around the ring)


(CROC)
Now Ringmaster was so taken back by my generous offer to MJW to assist him in becoming champion, and thus putting my own title ambitions aside, that he has informed me that the entire month of June will be a Croc Appreciation month…


(This draws massive boos from the crowd)


(CROC)
And to cap this off, the next IWF Pay Per View extravaganza will take place in my own hometown… Sydney, Australia!


(Croc looks very pleased by this announcement)


(CROC)
Now a piece of advice for you moronic English fans… I know us Aussie’s have shown you how to play every sport that was ever invented… But I want you moron fans to purchase IWF ‘International Incident’ and watch and listen how true wrestling fans show respect to the greatest wrestler on the earth. At ‘International Incident’ I will not only have thousands upon thousands fans chanting my name, but I will have a whole entire nation watching an anticipation as I once again steal the show and cap off the Croc Appreciation Month with a historic victory!

["The EGO" MJW]

RULE BRITANNIA hits in the IWF Arena and the fans naturally give a pop for the patriotic theme. Moments later MJW walks out onto the stage, the IWF Tag title wrapped around his waist, and a Union Jack flag draped across his shoulders. The fans give a mixed reaction, knowing that their Hero turned against them has left them bitter, but could this be a sign that it was a moment of madness and that the British Hero is out to make amends.

MJW stands on the stage and looks around at the fans in attendance. In the ring the Aussie Icon is applauding, he has no doubt in his mind that MJW is aligned with him.

The Ego makes his way down the ramp, at ringside he climbs the steps and ducks up the top rope. Once inside the ring Croc extends his hand to welcome him, but MJW ignores the gesture. The fans cheer as Crocs smile turns to a frown. MJW looks around and then sticks both hands in the air and gives his fans ‘the finger’. The arena erupt with boos as Croc begins to laugh, MJW then grabs Croc’s hand and then pulls him in for a very manly embrace.


Chris Cross:
Wow, for a second I thought MJW had seen the error of his ways, but clearly he has decided to side with the devil himself!

Ventura:
Error of his ways? The error would have been if he had chosen to stick by these chumps! MWJ has finally come to his senses and with Croc by his side he is going to be unstoppable!


The music cuts and MJW and Croc separate, MJ then walks to the ropes and is handed a mic. Back in the centre of the ring he waits for the boos to stop, and then grabs the Union Jack from his shoulders and throws it to the mat below. The boos lift up again but MJ speaks right through them.


‘The EGO’ MJW
So you don’t like that?

Well isn’t that a damn shame! But you know what, I don’t like the fact that every time im within spitting distance of claiming my place as a World Champion, you people bring me down and stop me from doing whatever the hell I need to do to claim my prize!

At Payback you did it again, I had the IWF World title in my grasp, but to make it official I had to step outside the rules and take Donzig out, but I stopped, I listened to people and then I got screwed over! Donzig took advantage of me and you fucking cheered!!!

Did you all really think that I would continue to let this happen? Continue to slog away only to be knocked down at you any time I looked the wrong way at your precious ‘American Destroyer’!

Well thankfully, thankfully there was one man, a man that has eclipsed everyone else in this business, a man who could see what talent was being wasted, this man knew that with some guidance, MJW could and would become the very best in this business, without the fans holding me back I would become a WORLD CHAMPION!

The man is your ‘Aussie Icon’, the multiple time World Champion…CROC!


MJW stands in front of Croc and applauds him, Croc clearly loves the praise and is smiling from ear to ear.
MJ then looks down as his title belt and then taps the belt that is draped over Crocs shoulder.


‘The EGO’ MJW
Can you fucking believe it, MJW and Croc, World Tag Team Champions! You can hear the sound of each and every women in the building creaming their panties as they look at the 2 best looking, most talent champions in the entire industry!


Chris Cross
Ladies and Gentleman, i apologise for that vile remark made by MJW.


'The EGO' MJW
You see this right here is a truely historic event, never in a million years did anyone of you, or any of the boys in the back think that this would happen...

...that The Ego and the Aussie Icon would throw out the past and run together to dominate the future...

your looking at the IWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, and when the time is right we will clean up the IWF and take all the gold there is to take, because together there is not an entire damn army in the world that can stop us!

'Urban Assault' have just about 2 weeks left to run around ad claim to be the dominant team in the IWF, but 'claiming' is all they will be able to do because when it comes to walking the walk your looking at the boys that do it best...

...so the IWF is on notice, the industry is on notice...

...the Faction are here and we are taking over...

...men, take a look at what you can only dream of being, and women...

...form an orderly queue and if your luck, real lucky, the Faction might glance your way...

...and now, as the Icon has explained, we are kicking off CROC Appreciation month, without doubt it will be the greatest period in sports entertainment history...

...and it will come to an almighty climax at International Incident when The Faction decide to do whatever the hell they want to do, all you people need to know is that its going to involved MJW and Croc, sky high ratings, screaming women and the sight of any stupid mother fucker who gets in our way laying in a pool of their own stinking blood!


with that, MJW lowers the mic, havng gotten a little intense over the last words he suddenly cracks a cocky grin and high 5's his tag team championship partner.

it looks like Croc has more to say...will he get to?

[donzig]

As Croc takes the mic, the sound of Mudvayne explodes across the speakers, and the fans are on their feet as Donzig storms from the back with the IWF Heavyweight title draped over his leather clad shoulder. He paused, spitting before he stared at the ring with a shake of his head then he started for the ring.

He rolled inside, walking back and forth before he grabbed a mic. Then he turned towards MJW and Croc, snorting. "Since all I hear is you two dropping my fucking name, I had assumed it was Donzig Appreciation Month. Sadly, I know realize that the closest that you two will get to greatness is saying my name."

The fans cheered, and Donzig shrugged as he walked back and forth. Then he waved a hand, adjusting the belt on his shoulder before he continued. "Both of you need to realize something, I am the IWF World Heavyweight Champion! And there is nothing, either one of you can do to change that. As much as it eats you both alive? The fact is that neither one of you has what I call a winning record against motherfucking Donzig! And if I am a fat lazy bastard with no talent, what does that make you!"

The fans again cheered, and Croc said something as MJW fumed. Donzig scowled, shaking his head with a smirk. "Yeah. And then because Croc and MJW can't get the job done? You blame the fans? The fucking fans?"

The fans ate it up, and Donzig shook his head. "Come on, I mean really come on. These people in the stands are responsible for you two sucking? It's their fault that the British Hero and the Aussie Icon couldn't get the job done? I've said some terrible things about these fans, I've said some terrible things to these fans! But I never, never blamed them for me coming up short!"

The American Destroyer snorted, shaking his head as he stepped closer to the pair. Eyes narrowed, before he shrugged to adjust the belt on his shoulder. "MJW I considered you a friend, you earned my respect. And you pissed it all away for what? For Croc? You threw that all away so you could play second fiddle in the Croc Show? You fucked over me and Anthony Jordan so you could what?"

Donzig paused, frowning. "So you could make nice with the Ringmaster? That's your big plan? MJW, the man who spent his whole life in someone's shadow, the Ego has once again decided to be someone's bitch? Nice. Good work, buddy."

Croc grabbed MJW holding him back as he lunged for Donzig as the Hardcore Incarnate stared at him. Donzig shrugged, then looked towards Croc. "Sydney, hm? Son, we can do this in Sydney, New Orleans, Singapore, Bangkok, New York, or even Baghdad! Because regardless of where or when it happens? The end will be the fucking same!"

Donzig held up his fingers, counting down with them with a smirk. "1, 2, 3! Donzig wins, because I have seen your best, and your best won't fucking do!"

Croc swore, and the fans roared as Donzig continued. "Everything you have ever tried has failed, everything you ever did to stop me has backfired, and you both know that I am a force of nature! I will not be stopped, can not be stopped, and at the end of the day? Here in the British Isles, or in the Land Down Under I am the IWF World Heavyweight Champion! And that isn't going to change!"

Donzig glared, looking around before he finished. "Whether there is just Croc, just MJW, or both of you! So do your worst, I fucking want you to!"

["The Aussie Icon" Croc]

(Croc looks up at Donzig with a cold glare that is filled with hate)


(CROC)
You make me sick!


(This actually brings a small smile to Donzig’s face)


(CROC)
How dare you come out here and say that it was not the fans fault that neither MJW and I have the World Title that is being disgraced by being in your possession.


(Croc shakes his head. MJW nods in agreement with Croc)


(CROC)
Either you have just displayed how stupid you really are or it is simply another disgusting display of Donzig whoring himself out for the admiration of these fans.


(Crowd boos)


(CROC)
You see Donzig, it is quite simple… You having possession of the IWF World Championship belt hurts this business. The IWF is bulging with potential but it cannot reach that potential with someone like you as champion. The IWF needs a true champion… A champion with class, respect and natural talent. The IWF needs a champion that the IWF marketing department can splash their face across billboards, posters and television commercials…


(Croc points up at Donzig)


(CROC)
I have spoken with the marketing department and they have conducted focus group studies and do you know what the results of those studies where?


(Donzig says something that appears to be derogatory towards Croc and his focus group studies)


(CROC)
The results indicated that your face scared children and made women sick to their stomach. The only key market sector which you excelled in was the young male demographic and that was only because they felt you gave them hope because even they thought they could beat you.


(Loud boos as MJW laughs)


(CROC)
The fact you have held that title over the last couple of months is a miracle… You obviously paid off the referee at New Beginnings because I was constantly hampered by poor decision making by that dubious referee… Then at Payback, you got your ass handed to you throughout the match and you only won because you just happened to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize on my work! You aren’t a true champion Donzig, you are just on a lucky streak!


(MJW pats Croc on the back showing he agrees with Croc)


(CROC)
Well at International Incident, the pay per view that will forever be known as the return of the Croc Show… Donzig, your lucky streak will come to an abrupt and violent end. Why? Because I assure that Michael John Windsor will walk out of Sydney, Australia with the IWF World Championship. Why am I so confident? Because I will make certain you not only fail to retain you title in my homeland, I will make certain that you do not leave my homeland full stop… After the Faction is through with you in Sydney, Australia, you will be tossed off of Sydney Heads themselves like the beached whale that you are…


(Loud boos)


(CROC)
International Incident will be the crowning glory for the Faction as the World Title comes back home. Then all these fans will have no option but to cheer for the new and improved MJW… Why? Because after International Incident, MJW will indeed be the British Hero… Because he will do what no other prominent English sportsman or team has done… Win!


(Roaring boos from the crowd, which brings a smirk to Croc’s face)


(CROC)
Mark my words Donzig, your championship reign is coming to an end and my homeland will become your personal hell on earth!

[donzig]

Donzig frowned, shaking his head before he lifted that mic. He rolled his shoulders, adjusting the IWF World Heavyweight title as he looked between Croc and MJW. "Is that so? Well, allow me to remind you both of something? In Hell? The devil reigns, and I think everyone in the IWF knows who the fuck that is!"

The place exploded, and Croc frowned as Donzig scowled. "You see in Sydney, you and MJW may have it in your mind to take this title away from me! You may have decided to crown a new Champion, but I? I on the other hand have something else in mind."

Donzig paused, eyes narrowing.

"I am going to crush the Faction once and for all, I am going to break the back of the Faction right in the homeland of Croc himself! And as I walk out of the Land down Under, where Donzig rules, and Croc blunders! You can hear the distant thunder, and you better run! You better take cover!"

The place exploded again, and the crowd actually started to sing 'Land down Under' as Croc ground his teeth together, MJW grabbing his arm as Donzig smirked. "Croc, you can't beat me! And MJW can't beat me, and International Incident will be the Faction's Last Stand! Because this can be Croc Appreciation Month all you want, but this?"

Donzig paused, stepping closer. "This is the Age of Donzig."

["The EGO" MJW]

MJ looks at Croc and then at Donzig and just shakes his head


'The EGO' MJW
Excuse me 'Randy'...but this aint the WWE and your no legend killer!

And this crap about the Faction not being able to beat you? Well what do you call the last 2 times MJW has pinned your shoulders to the mat?



Donzig goes to reply but is cut off



'The EGO' MJW
And before you try and say something smart, which would actually be pretty unlikely...

...those 2 times were not a fluke, i beat you because im better than you, at Payback i fucked up and im the first to admit it...

...i let emotion and concern into my heart and it cost me that...



MJ points to the gleaming IWF gold



'The EGO' MJW
But its all changed now, you see 'The EGO' is back, and far from allowing emotion into my heart...

...the one that beats inside me is BLACK!

There is no love lost between MJW and Croc, we are not out here trying to prove a friendship...

...we are both in this for our own selfish gains...

...MJW is in it to learn from the master and to claim what should have been in my hands years ago, the World Championship...

...and Croc is here because he wants to show that not only can he achieve more than anyone else has before him, but that he can guide another outstanding indivdual to those very same heights!

And by order of the Ringmaster, at International Incident all of this will come to head when we erase you! The clock is ticking 'pal', your gone soon!

[donzig]

"Do you really believe the bullshit you're spewing?" Donzig asked, frowning as the fans cheered. He stepped towards MJW, looking between the pair before he brought the mic up. "Do you recall the countless times I have beat the pair of you bloody? Do you recall the countless times that someone said they were going to drive me out? To erase me from the IWF?"

Donzig shook his head, eyes narrowed. "Well, guess what? I'm still fucking here, and your father, Justin Voss, and Timmy Draven are in their graves! I sent your mentor there packing once, and whatever happened to Christian Troy? I guess Reese is still alive somewhere far away, which is good for him!"

The fans exploded, and Donzig waved a finger. "I have withstood the attacks of the Syndicate like four times, Counter Culture, what was left of the Jordan Four, the CIA, and the Elite Establishment! Hell, I battled Draven's Inc. by myself while you were verbally masturbating yourself! And by the way, whatever happened to Ego Inc.? And you think, you believe I am afraid of the Faction?"

Donzig snorted. "Or as most of us call them 'The Circus'! And you think the pair of you with Mikkey and Seven led by the Ringmaster can succeed where everyone else has failed? Is that really what you think, Ego?"

Donzig raked a hand through his hair, shaking his head before he paced back and forth. He shrugged his shoulders, adjusting his jacket before he ran a hand across his belt. "I am not going to judge you for selling your soul because I have done the same thing! I am not going to blame you for bowing down to some soul less corporate boss because I have done that too! And MJW, I am not going to mock you for letting someone who is your lesser pretend you are allies while he uses you!"

Donzig snapped his fingers, jabbing a finger at Croc. "Because I have done that too with the same guy! But Micheal? I am going to beat your ass for it, I am going to show you the error of your ways by taking you into Sydney, Australia and reminding you once again that as good as you are! As great as you claim to be? That the American Destroyer has no equals, has no betters, and that anyone who comes at me? Will go down in flames!"

Donzig smirked, shrugging his shoulders. "So enjoy your tag titles, and your games, and your little show of bravado! Because in a few short days you are going to once again lay in this ring at my feet, and rue the day that you presumed to try and take what I offered you in friendship!"

Donzig spat then, and turned to go as the fans cheered.
