Opportunity for Impartiality

["The Aussie Icon" Croc]

(The show comes back from a commercial break and immediately “Breakstuff” by Limp Bizkit hits and the crowd erupts with boos as the Aussie Icon appears on stage)


(CROSS)
Some say he is the master of mind games, other say he is just the illustration of when evil and greed combine…

(VENTURA)
I will interrupt you there Christopher… I say Croc is the greatest I have ever seen.

(CROSS)
Well that is up to debate, but like him or not, Croc has to be up there in anyone list!


(Croc pauses at the top of the ramp where he is joined by his Faction colleagues, MJW and Ringmaster. The arrival of the remaining two members of the Faction lift the intensity of the boos but this seems to have a positive effect on Croc. Croc swaggers down to the ring, with his chest puffed out and his head held high. He rolls into the ring and immediately calls for a microphone. He is joined in the ring by Ringmaster and MJW)


(CROC)
Ladies and gentlemen… Feast your eyes on the pure excellence of this business!


(Loud boos as Croc’s smugness grows)


(CROC)
On Monday night, I once again stole the show with my dominant performance in defeating the former CWA Champion, Wifebeater, in the main event of Revolution. Back when Wifebeater held the CWA Title and I held the ICW Title, he ran his mouth a lot about being the better champion… Well on Monday night I proved that Wifebeater is, and never has been close to being in my god damn league.


(Loud boos from the crowd, but Croc is met with applause from the Faction)


(CROC)
But even with my emphatic pinfall victory over Wifebeater, the best was yet to come.


(Croc reveals an evil grin which brings about a sadistic laugh from MJW)


(CROC)
With his little Urban Assault buddy trying to assist with the heavy head trauma Wifebeater received from a devastating CrocKick, the Faction swooped… We decided to see if Donzig was really as tough as he claims to be… So we decided to beat him up and we did so with a matter of ease.


(CROSS)
It was a two on one attack. And not to mention they blindsided Donzig.

(VENTURA)
Well if Donzig was so tough, he would have been able to fight them off.

(CROSS)
In a fair fight, I would bet Donzig would do more than just fight them off.


(CROC)
MJW and I pummeled the soon to be former World Champion and did so without even breaking a sweat. But even when we beat the life out of Donzig, MJW and I were still not satisfied, so we finished off Wifebeater and left him bloodied in this very ring.


(A small Urban Assault chant erupts but it has too many syllables to be an effective chant)


(CROC)
The Faction left the Urban Assault laying flat out and knocked out in the main event of Revolution… This was a clear message to the Urban Assault before our upcoming Tag Team Title match. What message was that? That the Urban Assault does not stand a chance in hell of beating the greatest tag team in the business… The Faction!


(Roaring boos as MJW pats Croc on the back)


(CROC)
But in his ultimate wisdom, the Ringmaster has booked another super main event for this upcoming Revolution. It will be a small taste of what is to come at International Incident… Why? Because at Revolution it will be the World Champion fighting in a handicap match against MJW and myself. Two on one… Donzig just does not stand a chance… Just like at International Incident, where Donzig does not stand a chance of defeating the new and improved… The EGO himself… MJW!


(MJW takes a bow and this really riles up the crowd who show their disgust by booing as one)


(CROC)
Now speaking of International Incident, which will of course take place in my hometown of Sydney, Australia…


(Loud boos which seem to piss Croc off, but he doesn’t react)


(CROC)
Many people have unfairly criticized OUR boss, the Ringmaster, for appointing me as the special guest referee for the IWF World Heavyweight Championship match between Donzig and MJW…


(Croc scratches his chin)


(CROC)
I don’t know why people think my appointment is so wrong…


(Loud boos as Croc smirks. He looks at MJW)


(CROC)
I mean the standard of refereeing during my title matches with Donzig has been totally incompetent… I believe it is a smart move to have me as referee because I will be able to lift the standard of refereeing here in the IWF, just like I do with the standard of wrestling, to a whole new level of excellence…


(MJW claps in approval)


(CROC)
Now some people have come out here and said that I will not call this match right down the middle. People have said that I will be biased in my decision making towards the man who I have guaranteed to become IWF World Champion.


(Croc points directly at the camera)


(CROC)
Do you know what I want to say to you people who claim this?


(Croc looks like he is about to explode with anger before suddenly changing and the familiar smug smirk appears)


(CROC)
I say lucky guess.


(Loud boos but this brings howls of laughter from the Faction)


(CROC)
Of course I am going to be biased… Of course I am not going to call this down the middle. I have been in deep training to ensure that I can deliver the quickest of quick counts whenever Donzig has his shoulders pinned to the mat… And in the interest of fairness, to even out my average pinfall count speeds for the match, I am going to ensure that my counts when MJW has his shoulders pinned to the mat be extra, extra slow.


(Loud boos)


(CROC)
This should ensure that when I look at the official match statistics, my match stats as referee should look awesome.


(Croc smirks)


(CROC)
But I am here to give Donzig an opportunity… Now the Faction does not have all night to wait out here, as we have a HUGE birthday bash for MJ to attend.


(VENTURA)
Oh I am so excited to be going to that party. Just thinking about all those hot, hot, hot women attending and I just want to explode.

(CROSS)
Well you better hold up because I know you didn’t get invited.

(VENTURA)
Croc said my invitation was in the mail.

(CROSS)
Sure it is!


(CROC)
So Donzig, if you want me to call this match right down the middle and be the most impartial referee you have ever seen, than I am giving you the opportunity to allow this to happen…


(MJW seems shocked by this, as does Ringmaster. He taps Croc on the shoulder and asks him what he is doing but Croc just brushes him off)


(CROC)
So all you have to do Donzig is come out here to the middle of this ring and shake my hand and I promise I will call this match down the middle.


(MJW is fuming. Ringmaster is even questioning Croc)


(CROC)
Oh I nearly forgot… You have to come out here, shake my hand and then kiss my feet…


(Loud boos)


(CROC)
Then I will call the match down the middle!


(Croc smirks. The final revelation seems to bring a smile back to MJW and Ringmaster’s face)


(CROC)
So what will it be Donzig? Do you want a fighting chance at International Incident, or do you want to throw your title away because you are too proud to kiss my feet?

["The EGO" MJW]

As the fans wait to see if Donzig will come out, MJ walks over to the ropes and is handed a mic. He moves back into ring center to address the situation


"The EGO" MJW
Wow wow wow...hold the hell up, you see Croc, i think your acting a little to hasty!


Croc raises an eyebrow in interest of where MJ is going


"The EGO!" MJW
Because for Donald to come out here and kiss your feet not only do you have to remove your boots, but you have to remove your socks...

...and why the hell should you have to expel any energy just so that ungreatful bastard can do the right think and kiss the Icons feet!


The Ringmaster tells Croc that MJW is right, and that he might want to reconsider


"The EGO" MJW
But dont worry, because MJW has it covered!


MJ looks up the stage entrance


"The EGO" MJW
Lucy...Lucy...

...get yourself down here, your needed!


and then MJW turns around and shouts over to a member of the ring crew


"The EGO" MJW
And you...bring that chair into this ring right now before i come down there and make you even more ugly than you already are!


now from the back a leggy, tanned fit blond walks out. Dressed in a tight red dress she walks the aisle. She gets to the ring and MJ holds open the ropes, at the same time the crew member has grabbed a chair and set it up.
Lucy walks into the center and meets MJ, she goes to kiss the birthday boy but he holds his hand up and stops her


"The EGO" MJW
Later sweetheart, right now you got a job to do...

...now Croc, take a seat.


Croc looks around at the chair and does indeed take a seat. MJ then instructs Lucy to get on her knees and remove the shoes and socks of the Aussie Icon.
As she bends down her short skirt rides up and the males in the audience cheer, MJ nods his head in approval as Lucy removes the shoes and boots. Before Lucy gets back up Croc chims in


"The Aussie Icon" Croc
Er...whilst your down there...


MJ laughs as Lucy gets back to her feet


"The EGO" MJW
Sorry buddy, its not the time or place...but Lucy will around later

...now, Donald, bring yourself out here and do the decent thing...get on your knees and kiss the feet of the man who has your life in the palm of his hand...

...come out here and show the respect he deserves...

...and whilst your out here, and as a special treat for all the ladies in attendance, ill take off my belt, pull down my trousers and you can KISS MY BRITISH ARSE!!!


Croc and The Ringmaster roar with laughter as MJ looks up the stage, waiting to see if Donzig will take the bait

[donzig]

The fans explode as that music can only mean one thing, and then the American Destroyer storms from the back. He stalks forward, and he pauses on the ramp to spit angrily. But there are three things readily noticable.

One, Donzig isn't wearing his jacket. Two, Donzig isn't wearing the IWF World Title.

Three, Donzig is holding Kirsten.

Without another word he charges down the ramp with a roar, diving into the ring with a wild swing that nearly takes off Croc's head before the Aussie Icon dove from his chair.

Donzig whips around, lunging with the chair at MJW who bolts from the ring after shoving Lucy towards the enraged Hardcore Incarnate. Donzig whips around, and levels Croc with a vile shot that nearly bends Kirsten in half as Croc climbs to his feet near the ropes.

Croc topples, and Donzig storms back and forth before he taps the chair against the mat before lifting it battle axe style. MJW grabs the wounded Croc, dragging him from the ring as the chair slammed down.

Donzig snarled, watching as Croc and MJW retreated towards the ramp. And he spun around, grabbing the steel chair from the center of the ring to hurl it towards them. It narrowly missed, sliding down the ramp before the American Destroyer threw down the bent Kirsten before he called for a mic.

He snarled, screaming at the ring crew who finally gave him the mic. And as the fans roared, he raked a hand through his hair before he snapped an angry finger towards the pair. "Croc, and MJW! You enjoying yourselves? Having fun with your little games, because you think you are hot shit?"

Donzig laughed, smirking. "I bet you are. Because newsflash, children! Playtime is over, and at Revolution? You are not going to be stepping into the ring with the IWF World Heavyweight Champion, Donzig! Oh, no! You're going to be stepping into the ring with plain, old Donzig. And that means?"

Donzig paused, grinning as he walked towards the ropes. "I am not going into Revolution to win, I am not walking down to this ring to beat you in a match. I am walking down here to fucking kick the piss out of both of you! At Revolution I am going to hurt you, I am going to fucking injure the pair of you! Do you understand that?"

Donzig smiled, an evil little grin. "This is war, and gentlemen? Between now and Monday? As far as I am concerned? It is open season on the Faction, so watch your fucking backs! Because both of you should know just how unpleasant I can fucking be."

Donzig turned, then paused before he turned with a wave of his hand as his eyes settled on Lucy. "Must be easy money for you tonight, everyone knows these two don't like girls."

And the place exploded in cheers as Donzig leaned back in the corner.

["The EGO" MJW]

The Faction retreat to a safe distance up the ramp and MJ stops and calls for a mic to brought up to him. The fans are going wild as MJW shouts over them


"The EGO" MJW
YOU FUCKING COWARD...


the fans simmer down as MJ continues, all the while checking on Croc and making sure his running buddy is ok


"The EGO" MJW
A chair? a fucking chair? The Faction invite you into their ring and you assault as with a chair?


Chris Cross
Is this guy kidding? The Faction would not think twice about using a weapon!

Jesse Ventura
Only ever as self defense Chris!


"The EGO" MJW
And with a women present in the ring as well! Thankfully your hero saved the day and pulled everyone to safety and out of harms way!


the fans give off some heat, knowing MJ really could not give a fuck about Lucy, and did infact try and use her to protect himself


"The EGO" MJW
Its just as well that your not wearing the IWF championship because you have just proven how much you dont deserve it!

And now, because of your unsportman like behaviour The Faction is going to have to beat some respect into you at Revolution!
You, pal...just made the biggest mistake of your damn life!


MJ throws the mic to the ground and turns around, putting his arm around the Aussie Icon and helping him retreat up the ramp as The American Destroyer looks on with pure evil intensions

[donzig]

"Hey, Windsor, I'm your huckleberry." Donzig snarled, and the fans exploded as the Hardcore Incarnate slid from the corner with a wicked grin.

He shook his head, a hand raked through his hair before he shrugged his shoulders. And he pointed at the glaring MJW. "At Revolution? Why fucking wait, why don't you show me and all of these people standing outside the ring that you have a fucking set!"

The fans cheered, and MJW still glowered at the ring. Donzig waved a hand, looking around before he continued. "I mean Croc knows since he was likely sucking on it last night, but the rest of us. And that includes Lucy there, are still in the dark!"

The fans laughed, and MJW fumed as Donzig glared back at him. And the American Destroyer shrugged, leaning against the ropes. "Son, I don't think you and Croc quite realize that you are in for a very long week, and a very long night at Revolution. Because you both think you are hot shit because you took down the injured Wifebeater? You think you finished something off? Motherfucker, I am still standing here!"

The fans exploded with cheers, and Donzig nodded. "I am still right here inside this very ring, and I am not fucking going anywhere! Bigger, better men then the pair of you have tried to fucking take Donzig out and where are they? And so at Revolution you are just another pair of victims, because you think you are coming for me?"

Donzig shook his head, lifting the mic. "Nuh uh! I am fucking coming for you! And at Revolution I am going to give you a birthday gift you will never forget when I plant Croc's head and my boot both up your goddamned British ass!"

["The Aussie Icon" Croc]

(As the crowd chants Donzig’s name, Croc picks up the microphone that MJW threw down. Croc looks at Donzig and shook his head)


(CROC)
Donzig, I will tell you one thing… MJW is not going to come into that ring tonight!


(Donzig rolls his eyes as the crowd boos. MJW looks to try and get to the ring but is held back by Croc)


(CROC)
Because as special guest referee for the World Title match I believe it is only fair that you Donzig are actually physically able to travel to Sydney and fight MJ… Because if I allow MJ to come down this ramp, we all know he will kick your ass and leave you so bloodied, so beaten and so injured that you will not be medically cleared in time for International Incident.


(Roaring boos. Donzig still motions for MJ to come to the ring, but once again Croc holds MJW back)


(CROC)
Donzig all I asked was for you to show me an ounce of respect by coming to the middle of the ring and shaking my hand. You are so wrapped up in your god damn victim mentality that you couldn’t even offer me a handshake. How hard would it have been to do that?


(Croc shakes his head in disgust)


(CROC)
Well since you not only showed me a total lack of respect, I am going to ensure that you lose that title at International Incident. How do you honestly think you are going to walk out of International Incident with that title in tact when I am the referee?


(Croc smirks)


(CROC)
I will make thing clear to you right now… I am not going to count a pinfall for you… MJ could be tapping out like a crazed bitch, but I am not going to call for the bell… You could beat MJW until he is a brain dead vegetable but I will still not call for the bell. Why? Because I am not going to allow you to win the match. From this moment forward, I am physically incapable of calling for the bell and announcing you as the victor!


(Roaring boos from the crowd)


(CROC)
So how are you going to win Donzig? Huh?


(Croc smirks as Donzig is fuming in the ring)


(CROC)
I gave you an opportunity to make this a fair fight, but instead you metaphorically spat in my face and physically assaulted me. That shows exactly why you should not be the IWF Champion.


(Croc puts his hand on MJW’s shoulder)


(CROC)
MJ here understands that being IWF World Champion is the MOST important thing in his life. He even ate some humble pie and came to me and asked for help in obtaining the World Title. MJ is willing to do anything to ensure that he becomes World Champion.


(MJ nods in agreement. Croc takes his hand off MJ’s shoulder and points down at Donzig)


(CROC)
You on the other hand were not even willing to shake my hand… You were not willing to grovel to the one man who holds the fate of the IWF World Heavyweight Championship in his hand. That shows to me that you simply do not want to be champion anymore. You are not willing to do what it takes to remain as champion.


(Croc shakes his head)


(CROC)
These fans love you and chant your name every night. But obviously you don’t give a shit about them either. Why? Because these fans, for some moronic reason, want you as champion but you are going to rob them of that chance after International Incident because you let your pride get in the way doing the ‘smart’ thing.


(Croc points at the crowd)


(CROC)
Donzig these people need a champion they can be proud to call their champion… Tonight you have shown that your selfish pride and ego are more important to you than these fans desires to see you as champion… That is why I will hand deliver these fans a champion that they can be proud to call their champion… They may not know it right now, but I know what is best for them…


(This causes loud boos)


(CROC)
And because I know what is best for these fans, I will give them a champion they can call their own and his name is MICHAEL JOHN WINDSOR!


(Roaring boos as Croc points at MJW who has his hands raised in the air)


(CROC)
Donzig your selfishness has cost you this title… Therefore after MJW defeats you at International Incident and becomes the new IWF Champion and you are in the back looking for someone to blame… You can look back on this night and realize that to find the person to blame for you losing the title is not the Aussie Icon, but yourself!
