EXCLUSIVE: Pre-Lethal Lottery Footage Featuring Constantine and Surprise Entrant!

”For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.”

-Carl Sagan

October 2011
Generic rural wilderness, Kentucky
Just outside of Backwards Hick-ville, Kentucky

The scene opens among the trees. From this vantage, an untouched, almost serene forest extends beyond the comprehension of the naked human eye. Although the day's light is having a difficult time penetrating the unfettered nature, this scene is clearly unfolding while the sun is up. A light breeze causes shuffling among many of the fallen, colourful leaves which have begun to litter the forest floor. Fall has undoubtedly arrived.

Disturbing the relative silence produced by the elements is a distant whistling. The off-tune shrieking seems to be coming from multiple sources. As the whistling grows louder, it begins to sound vaguely like a segment of the Russian ballet Swan Lake. More and more the volume of the “music” rises until three figures walk past a tree and into our view.

The tallest figure is the man standing at the far left of the group, dragging sled loaded with luggage behind him. The man has a relatively slender figure, overgrown black hair, and a meager, patchy beard. Most of his clothes appear to have been made of whatever discarded material he happened upon in his travels, sewn together by hands unpractised in such domestic matters. The only article of clothing which breaks from this form is an outer garment draped over his shoulders which is covered in an unidentifiable fur. Distinct, proud, and adorned in a lively grin, this man is recognizable to longtime WZCW fans as the Ugandan Wildman, Hunter Kravinoff.

Beside Kravinoff is a homely, stocky blonde woman in her mid-thirties. She is adorned in the tackiest outerwear your local urban outfitter has to offer, and is holding hands with a boy of around twelve years old. The boy is also blonde, his hair messy and unkempt, but in a more stylish, deliberate fashion than the mane of the man who used to be WZCW's greatest big game hunter. As the the woman keeps a watchful, almost longing eye on Kravinoff, the boy stares dejectedly into the distance. His whistling is markedly less enthusiastic than that of his travel companions. After a brief moment in our view, the boy stops dead in his tracks, holding the woman by the hand with stern determination and bringing her to a halt. The woman turns to the boy with clear disappointment in her eyes as Kravinoff plods on unaware for a few moments before noticing that he's continuing alone. He too stops, and turns to face the boy. But unlike the look on the woman's face, Kravinoff is wearing a guise of warmth and compassion.

Leaving the sled unattended for a moment, Kravinoff starts back and drops to a knee before the boy. The Ugandan places a hand on the shoulder of his youngest companion in order to establish a connection between them. The youthful blonde is unmoved by this gesture as he continues to stare into the vast wilderness before him.

Kravinoff: What's the matter, Jacob? Is your stomach at unease with the elk I slaughtered for dinner last night?

Jacob swallows uncomfortably as Kravinoff's warm stare defies all social form. It's an unabashed, shameless glare. The boy says nothing, instead exhibiting a sudden interest in glancing at his feet.

The Woman: You ought to answer when Mr Kravinoff asks you a question, Jacob!

The scorn of the woman puts colour in the cheeks of Jacob, who seems to be ashamed of the reaction he's drawn.

Jacob: Sorry, mom.

The boy seems to have shrunk under the weight of his mother's ire, his body language showing none of the determination he mustered to stop the group's trek into the forest. But still, Kravinoff maintains his warm, uncomfortable smile.

Kravinoff: That's quite alright, Dolores. The boy needs time to warm to me. That's wall.

Dolores: Well I think he ought to be warmed up to you as it is! The boy's never eaten meat as fresh and tender as that which you turned over that flame last night.

Kravinoff turns to meet the eyes of Dolores, who has let go of Jacob's hand in order to accommodate her animated style of speech. Kravinoff listens intently as Jacob continues to stare at the ground.

Dolores: I mean you got up at dawn to track that beast, you rode it into the ground like it's a bike and you're a stunt-driver, and you butcher it with care, all the while giving Jacob lessons on proper weapon maintenance, the best uses for an animal's bones, or how to use moss to figure out which direction you're walking in. You're the most unique, talented, hard-working man who's ever been in my life. You've given me perspective, love, respect, and the finest hand-crafted hunting spear a woman could ask for. And all the while Jake can't show you even the slightest bit of warmth and respect! It's shameful!

Dolores shrieks and begin to break down. Kravinoff moves swiftly to embrace her as Jacob finally looks up at the people in front of him, realizing the damage he's done.

Jacob: Mom, I... I didn't mean to... I... I'm sorry.

Kravinoff: There's no need to apologize, Jacob.

Hunter shoots another warm, affectionate glance at the boy before helping his distraught lady friend sit down on the ground. Kravinoff gestures for Jacob to sit with them. He meekly complies as Kravinoff turns back to Dolores.

Kravinoff: Look, there's no shame in Jacob taking a while to warm to me. I was the same way with my adoptive parents. Being raised by gorillas and learning the law of the jungle can be a huge challenge for a young man, especially with the softness of modern societies slowly destroying the evolutionary imperative to survive in the wild. But I grew accustomed to that way of life. And in time, so will Jacob. In time, he will know the pride that comes with gathering food and providing for his tribe. He will learn to be autonomous and capable in a way many of his generation can only dream of. In time, Jacob will see this family for what it is.

The least-assimilated immigrant in the history of the United States turns to Jacob once more.

Kravinoff: Isn't that right, boy?

Dolores ceases his weeping momentarily to join Kravinoff in staring expectantly at her son. Jacob wrings his hands uncomfortable for a brief instant.

Jacob: Yes, sir...

Kravinoff reaches out, bringing Jacob into his embrace with Dolores. His mouth curls upward in a look of pure glee.

Kravinoff: Thank you for saying so, Jacob. I need you committed to this family. It's everything to me. When I left WZCW, I had a rough go of it. I was adrift, purposeless. But when your mother found and comforted me that night in the alley behind the Pizza Hut where she worked, I knew everything was going to be alright. Because she'd given me someone to love. Someone to commit myself to. And I could use my skill-set in the name of that love.

Jacob, just as I swore to your mother that the I.R.S. and her creditors would never find her in the wilderness, so to do I make a pledge to you: I will raise you as my own. You will sleep in the comfort of a palatial tree house built of my own hand. I will fashion you the finest weapons with which to hunt your prey. And most importantly, I will fashion you yourself into a weapon of deadly purpose.

I know it's been a whirlwind five days since your mother and I first met, but I love you son.

Dolores and Hunter embrace their child with passionate fervour as the scene fades to black.

-----------------------------------------------------

Present Day
Unknown location

Through the floor-to-ceiling-windows in this massive luxury hotel suite, it's clear that night has fallen over whatever anonymous metropolis the room is perched atop. The furnishings and decor are modern and stylish. But the setting is unbecoming of the only man in it, wasted on a still-dishevelled Hunter Kravinoff. The Ugandan Wildman is sitting on a bar stool at an island in the kitchen, butchering a large piece of slightly overcooked meet with a crudely fashioned spear and a cleaver. Adorned in nothing but a loin cloth, Kravinoff is staring with intense contempt at a picture that has been magnetized to the fridge. The picture appears to be the work of a child drawing with charcoal. It depicts a large man with a spear, a woman swooning over the man, and a child chasing a dog while brandishing a large, bulky club.

His glare unwavering, Kravinoff uses the spear to deposit a piece of meat in his mouth. He chews in a violent, uncultured fashion, speaking to a utilitarian desire for sustenance rather than a desire to savour his meal. But beyond that utilitarianism, it seems Kravinoff's ravenous consumption of the meal speaks in some way to his feelings regarding the amateur artwork before him.

Turning Kravinoff's attention away from the fridge is the sound of the entrance to the suite opening and closing. Footsteps announce the movement of the new arrival toward the kitchen. Kravinoff positions himself near the corner the sound is emanating from and readies his spear for battle. Is he about to be faced with an intruder? Will he be confronted by friend or foe? The steps grow louder and louder when into the room emerges... WZCW Elite X Champion John Constantine! Dressed in one of his fine suits and with the Elite X Championship draped over his shoulder, Constantine is the very picture of a man who belongs in a suite of this calibre.

With Kravinoff's spear to Constantine's throat, the Ugandan has a look of intensity on his face the likes of which speaks to a destructive desire. Constantine meets Kravinoff's eyes, but is stoic and unfazed.

Constantine: Miss me?

Kravinoff maintains his battle-ready stance for a moment longer before breaking into a trickster grin. He casts his spear aside carelessly and opens his arms to invite embrace.

Kravinoff: Brother!

Constantine smirks ever so slightly, accepting a hug from the Uganda warrior. Kravinoff's grip is one of passion and overwhelming sincerity. Constantine seems to be doing the bare-minimum to reciprocate.

Once the embrace is broken, Constantine passes the fridge to retrieve a bottle of cognac from a cupboard on the opposite end of the room to Kravinoff. He deposits a generous portion of the fine brown liquor in the appropriate glass before turning back and joining a beaming Kravinoff at a bar stool on the island. Before speaking, Constantine gestures to the fridge with his glass.

Constantine: You haven't been staring at that thing all day, have you?

Kravinoff: Nah. Three hours, tops.

The Power Trip admires the contents of his glass intently as he swirls them with a gentle, circular wrist motion. He seems to care more about his drink than the man sitting next to him. This is untrue of Kravinoff however, as he seems genuinely thrilled to be in the company of WZCW's newest singles title holder. Carefully measuring his words, WZCW's Savior begins to speak.

Constantine: Hunter, I brought you back to civilization so you – I mean, WE – could move past that chapter in your life. Together. You were a wreck when she left you. Why do you torment yourself by letting the past dominate your thoughts?

Kravinoff looks unsettled by the the question, but nods in sombre agreement with everything that's been said.

Kravinoff: It's just... I've never been hurt in a way where I couldn't retaliate. When a rhinoceros gored me, I nursed my wounds and killed that beast by hurling a boulder at it. When and alligator bit me, I bit it right back. And I made it count, sinking my teeth in until it was fatally wounded. I was once the scourge of the jungle. I don't get over things. I get even. I balance out the natural order and move on with my existence, knowing one day something will hit me so hard that I won't get up. But until that day arrives, I take all the punishment beset on me and dish it right back.

But that was until her... I can't hurt her. I love her.

Discussing this matter clearly wounds the Ugandan. Constantine even looks up from his drink long enough to notice and (somewhat coolly) puts a hand on the shoulder of Kravinoff.

Constantine: There's only one thing you can do to get back at a woman, my friend. And that's achieve wild success while appearing to have moved on.

Kravinoff: But you know I can't do that!

The self-doubt in Kravinoff's eyes is obvious. Constantine observes him intently. He obviously sees it.

Kravinoff: I can't get over her. It's been weeks and still she's all I think about. And as for success, what hope of it do I have? In her loving arms, I grew soft. I aided men like Saboteur and Action Saxton just because I wanted to be nice. And when she left me, I was so distraught that I couldn't hunt. When you found me, I was surviving on a steady diet of Kentucky bluegrass! She made me the thing I most despise! A VEGETARIAN!

Kravinoff scurries from the island and runs to the counter, facing away from Constantine as the once-proud African export begins to shake his head.

Kravinoff: Heck, you had to buy me that piece of meat I'm eating now. I've become nothing but an abject failure. A lovesick puppy whose soul has been fatally wounded. I appreciate you nursing me back to form. You've been a true brother to me. But success isn't an option. I'm afraid you'll have to win the Lethal Lottery without my help.

Constantine is visibly upset by this, but composes himself before his furrowed brow can be noted by his conversation partner.

Constantine: All you really need to get back in your grove is to get back in the fight. Besides, we have the element of surprise on our side. What doubt is there that this is our match?

The man in the loin cloth lets out a cackle as he turns around. Constantine drinks deeply from his glass.

Kravinoff: John, I've been living in the wilderness without a television. If what you've been telling me these past weeks are true, I don't know the bulk of this roster. Most of these men will be as much of a surprise to me as I am to them. Face it, this probably isn't a good idea.

The Power Trip angrily throws his glass of cognac across the room. The sound startles Kravinoff.

Constantine: I don't accept that!

A look of embarrassment and shame fills the face of Kravinoff, reminiscent of that on Jacob's face when his mother yelled at him.

Kravinoff: Why are you shouting, John?

The Elite X Champion stands defiantly.

Constantine: Because you need a stern friend to get you out of your rut! And I'm that friend!

Kravinoff leans back against the counter as his look of shame turns into a tepid, hopeful smile. Intensity pours out of Constantine as he goes into full-on promo mode, setting out to motivate the man he claims to be his friend.

Constantine: You are Hunter Kravinoff! You may think that you're unprepared to face some of these new WZCW stars. But think about how they'll react when they see you: The Ugandan Wildman, risen from the dead! You're revered. You're a force of nature. Half of that locker room lives in fear of the day when you come out of seclusion to teach them about the laws of survival, the laws of attrition, the laws of the jungle.

And worse yet for those men, they're going to see the REAL Hunter Kravinoff for the first time ever. Not a man who's concerned about fighting them on society's terms. Not a man who's concerned about Sigmund Freud and subconscious desires. Not a man who's been defeated by the rejection of a woman. You're moving past all of that. You're going back to basics. Because the real Hunter Kravinoff doesn't fight people on their terms. He fights them on his terms. With no disqualifications in the Lethal Lottery, you're going to bring the jungle to them. You're going to thrive in chaos that swallows these great wrestlers alive. You're going to strike at the heart of the strongest roster in the history of WZCW. And you're going to do it with the zeal of the Hunter Kravinoff I know is in there, the Hunter Kravinoff who wants nothing more in life than to feel an unfamiliar man's blood on his hands!

...And then, when the smoke has cleared and you are I are the last men standing, you'll make headlines worldwide. You'll make professional wrestling history. You'll surrender the win to your new friend, the man who saved you from Kentucky bluegrass hell. And in doing so, the headlines will show Dolores that she gave up the wrong man. But she's out of luck because you've moved on to bigger and better things. You've moved onto a friendship which will sustain you until the day you die!

A single manly tear begins to well up in the right eye of Hunter Kravinoff. He's clearly moved.

Kravinoff: That was beautiful.

Constantine strains a smile.

Constantine: I meant every word of it.

Kravinoff: But... what if you're eliminated before I enter the match?

The Power Trip is putting forth a visible effort to maintain composure in the face of such an outrageous question. He smiles with what passes for warmth from a politician.

Constantine: Why of course you should still go on to win the match. Even without me, it's important that you show Dolores what she's missing.

Kravinoff throws a balled fist in the air in a fit of excitement.

Kravinoff: Huzzah!

Kravinoff begins to rummage through cupboards as Constantine returns to the cognac bottle. He finds a replacement glass and picks up right where he left off, gently stirring his drink. When the Power Trip turns he finds that, much to his surprise, Kravinoff has begun to rub extra creamy peanut butter all over his body.

Constantine: What... What are you doing?

Kravinoff has a look of pride on his face.

Kravinoff: You said there were no disqualifications and that the REAL Hunter Kravinoff could come out. Well the REAL Hunter Kravinoff wants to know which of WZCW's finest is allergic to peanuts.

Constantine stares in bewilderment at this moment of mad genius before downing the contents of his glass as the scene fades to black.

Co-op Conversations w/Mikey Stormrage-Lethal Lottery Edition

Rainbow Yaz — Mon, 13 May 2013 11:19:27 GMT

"What's up guys, Mikey Stormrage here. As WZCW's resident guru of gaming I launched a campaign to bring back one of my favorite discontinued segments from WZCW Magazine. Not long after I was given the go ahead to write my segment, Mark Lemming decided to quit and put the kibosh on my writing career before it got started. Fear not however, we are taking this thing viral. So now we have a fancy theme song, a cool backdrop, a giant HD screen to game on, and a brand new copy of WZCW 2013, available now at your local retailer."

"Each show I will have a different guest host on with me and the two of us will sit down, do a little gaming, give you a sneak preview of the upcoming pay per view, and just shoot the breeze for about an hour. This week my guest is WZCW's resident show stealer and your EurAsian champion, Triple X! X, before you sit down, why don't you give the fans a look at that sweet, sweet cover of WZCW 2013, available at a retailer near you."

"Thanks for agreeing to be my first guest X."

"Thanks for having me man, I'm more than excited to be here. Let's get to this."

"You heard him folks, lets jump right in. While I pop the game in and get us set up, X, mind giving us your thoughts on the matches taking place at the pay per view?"

"Oh man, where to start. You have a great mix of personal feuds and championship battles, then we top it all off with the Lethal Lottery match where anything can happen. We have the Tag team champions, versus the greatest active team on the roster, versus one of the most violent teams ever. It's going to be interesting, because I'm sure everyone here will have one eye on the lottery, but no-one can afford to lose sight when the championship on the line. Saxton and Saboteur have the experience advantage as a team, but the Gents have beaten them already; for the titles in fact. But Technosa are the wildcards here; both are formidable singles stars and they've shown real competence as a unit; thoroughly destroying the Empire. Anyone could win, but my pick for this match; The Gents defy the odds and retain."

"So Triple X is officially taking The Bearded Gentlemen to end the skid and retain. I've had my fair share of battles with Saxton and Sabotuer; you can't overlook them ever, but I think Technosa has been on too much of a role lately. I dread the day I have to step into the ring with either of those men because you aren't guaranteed to come out with your career intact. I have to pick Technosa in this one. When we ran the simulation before the show, Saxoteur came out on top. Just goes to show that anything can happen in this match."

"What is your record against Saxton and Sabs, Mikey?"

"Better than your record against Sam Smith."

"Haha, fair enough big guy. Moving on you got Dragon versus Callahan. Man I'm looking forward to this. Dragon's style is breathtaking, and I'm actually envious of some of the crazy stuff he can do in the ring. Callahan is nuts, but he's a former World Champion, and his drive to unmask Dragon and 'prove' that Ty Burna is capable of performing a Phoenix Splash makes him more dangerous than ever. The rules here look to favor Dragon on the outset, but Callahan is so ruthless that he can work in a deathmatch like this. My prediction; Callahan will find a way to keep Dragon down, but he won't find the answers to the Burna mystery he's searching for."

"You heard it here ladies and gentlemen, Triple X is jealous of El Califa Dragon. He may be even more jealous to hear that the game just simulated Califa winning by that very Phoenix Splash."

"Speaking of men who like splashes, you have a match before the Lottery yourself. Grand Mystique versus you, you handsome devil! This is another one I'm looking forward to, but for very different reasons. Mystique's been wreaking havoc in the company, and you've suffered the most from his torment, and it's far past the time he got his ass kicked. Him adding the stipulation of you having to join him if you lose is nothing more than a curveball to offset you. You know you can beat him; I know you can beat him, and come the pay per view, you'll kick his ass inside a steel cage, where he has nowhere to run, and no way for his lackey Mason Westhoff to help him steal one."

"Thanks buddy, I approve of your prediction, and so does the game, because in a totally non biased simulation I beat GM ten out of ten times."

"So what is next? The World Heavyweight Championship match? You've one man I respect; Showtime Cougar, versus one man I detest; Steven Holmes. This is going to be a contender for match of the year, and it's too hard to call. Showtime has more big match experience, but Holmes has had a psychological advantage in recent times. I've wrestled with both and it's tough to call between them, but experience at this level is invaluable. My pick for the title is Showtime Cougar, but I wouldn't bet any money on it."

"The game agreed with you. The man front and center on the cover retained his title in the simulation. Before we get to the actual Lottery match, I do have a few more questions. First off, how do you think you will fare this year?"

"I plan on stealing the show. Day in and day out, that's my aim, and here it's no different. Obviously, one way of doing that is by winning, and that's certainly my aim. Do I think I can win it? Yes. Do I think I will? Well...I think there's twenty nine other superstars who could get the win and deserve it, just as I know I can and do. But just like last year, I plan on making sure that everyone is talking about WZCW's resident Showstealer."

"Speaking of last year, Lethal Lottery 2012 was your personal coming out party. In the span of a year you rose from unknown rookie, to the doorstep of the World Title. It has to have been a crazy ride and I know the fans would love to hear about not only your rise, but who on the roster you think has the best chance of duplicating your performance during last year's Lottery?"

"Oh man it has been wild. It's crazy, because I never expected it. I figured I'd get a few matches, remain on Aftershock and get released. I think last years Lottery was my...fourth match? And I thought I'd get thrown out and never heard of again. But as I went out there and figured I had nothing to lose, I just threw caution to the wind, and went for it. In terms of my 'rise', truth be told, I was happy in the Elite X division. I was cool there, as crazy as that sounds, and I wanted another shot at Sam Smith more than anything, because the guy's one of the best I've ever faced. But the fans wanted more. Other superstars and officials behind the scenes seemed to agree. And that taste of success was something I wasn't sure I'd actually get a shot at, but now I have, I'm ready for more, and I know if...no...when I get the chance again, you'll be looking at the new World Heavyweight Champion. As far as shocking the world, a ton of guys have that potential. I don't like his attitude, but Brent Blaze has all the tools to succeed here. He reminds me a lot like myself when I first started out, and he could be something real special. Grizzly Bob could shock a lot of people; he's scary strong and quick for a big man, and could be incredibly formidable. But my pick for the guy who's gonna break out, shockingly to some, is Sam Smith. I don't like him as a person, but I respect the hell out of his talents, and this match could be his announcement that he's ready to become king of WZCW. I know he's already considered a big deal, so it might not count, but I think at the Lottery, Sam Smith shows he's more than just a great Elite X Champion, and that he's just plain destined for greatness."

"While the actual Lottery match is currently loading up, we need a quick filler question. A couple of weeks ago we made Baltimore area headlines after our drunken...okay my drunken and your totally sober shouting match. I think most people know by now, but you are an outspoken believer in the strait-edge lifestyle. How did you get into that, do you ever feel different, and do you feel like a role model to others who share your beliefs?"

"Well, straight edge is routed in punk music, which is something I love. Punk, rock, metal, all that kind of stuff. That was how I first heard about it when I was younger, but obviously in my troubled youth I didn't live...well, lets say the healthiest of life. Everyone knows my back story with my girlfriend, so forgive me for not going into detail about that. But after Abi's death, that really shook me down to my core, and I looked at my life and thought 'what the hell am I doing?' She always wanted to be a pro wrestler, and while not quite to the same degree as her, I did too. So I used this tragedy as a catalyst, almost like a reset button. I didn't want to kill myself, and I saw someone I love go down that road, so I knew I'd need to do something, and I knew that to be a wrestler, the drugs would have to go. And by association, everything else went with it; the alcohol, the cigarettes, everything. Straight-edge was something I'd heard in a song, and I knew what it was about, so I just decided to take the quitting a step further and go all the way. As far as how it feels to be the only open straight-edge guy...it really doesn't feel like anything. Do I feel like a role-model...to a point, but I also jump off of high things for a living, so I'm probably not the best to look up to! It's a part of me that some respect, and that some don't give a rats ass about. I know some people that shall remain nameless have made accusations that I'm not really straight edge, and that I'm a bad role model because I'm living some 'lie', and it used to bother me a lot. But now I laugh, because there are so many supportive people here, yourself included, and then there are those who clearly don't have that strong belief and faith in something like I do. And I pity them."

"Well we have the actual Lottery match loaded up. We will be playing as our virtual self. I feel that my low center of gravity will give me an advantage come match time, so obviously I can't overlook myself; though Rush, GM, and Grizzly Bob join me in the three hundred plus club, so that is my final four prediction. Anything you have to add before I kick your virtual ass?"

"Thirty of WZCW's best athletes fighting for the golden ticket to Kingdom Come. Anyone can pull out a showstopping performance in this match, and it really is a true test of how you compare to the pack. Obviously I'd love to say I'm going to win it, as would you, and I do have every intention of doing so. But honestly, it could be Sam Smith, it could be Constantine, it could be Thrash...okay, maybe not that last one. But it literally could be anyone; it's too hard to pick."

"Well it isn't going to be you today. While you were ranting, X came in at number three and were tossed out by virtual Beard."

"I wasn't ready!"

"Okay in fairness to Triple X and due to time restraints I'm going to simulate this to the end, and post up the results. Feel free to leave any comments; what you like, what you dislike, what we can improve on, who you want to see on the show, any other suggestions. Remember to check out WZCW.com for all your wrestling needs, and tune into Lethal Lottery twenty thirteen, Tuesday, May fourteenth, live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, only on pay per view. For Triple X and all the crew, I'm Mikey Stormrage, thanks for tuning in to the first webisode of Co-op Conversations, and remember, keep calm and don't rage quit."

HEADLINE: Lethal Lottery Date Change + Announcement At The PPV

Princess Falestia — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:07:18 GMT

Due to a double booking at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois on the 12th of May, the date for WZCW's Lethal Lottery PPV has been changed to the 14th of May, which is a Tuesday. WZCW would like to apologise for any inconveniences that this may cause its fans and everybody will be reimbursed properly. For those that have taken leave off work and/or unable to take leave off work to see the event live in person, WZCW has contracted its superstars to be paying a visit to the bosses of the fans and "persuading" them to allow their staff members to watch the show live in person without any consequences of taking "extra" time off work.

*********************************

Speaking of the PPV, WZCW Ascension General Manager Vance Bateman has promised to make a huge announcement that will affect many within the company after the Lethal Lottery PPV:

"A lot of fans feel that we don't take any notice of what they discuss between themselves but the little they know about the WZCW Board of Directors... during the Lethal Lottery event, I'll be making an announcement that will hopefully satisfy their complaints."

No further information has been leaked and it is being said that mouths are being kept shut to make sure this announcement isn't announced prematurely. We will keep you posted.

BREAKING NEWS: WZCW Star Has Been Fired; Lethal Lottery Affected?

Princess Falestia — Fri, 10 May 2013 02:14:44 GMT

It has been confirmed that WZCW Superstar Connor Reese (or Rex King) has been fired from the company. The relationship between the company's Board of Directors and the superstar can be described as "unsteady" at best, causing friction between the two parties on multiple occasions. Between Reese's demands and tantrums and the company's ignorance to acknowledge all these requests, WZCW decided to terminate his contract indefinitely as of Monday.

Connor Reese's loss to the company has affected the Lethal Lottery somewhat as he was scheduled as the only confirmed participant after winning a match against Ricky Runn to determine who would receive immunity from the Lottery's randomiser. There were talks of having Connor Reese entering the Lottery first but with him being fired, those plans have been tossed out the window as well as Reese's confirmed spot.

Lethal Lottery V - World Championship: Showtime (C) vs. Holmes: Discussion

FunKay P. Lovecraft — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:33:26 GMT

If Showtime loses via count-out or gets disqualified, he will forfeit the WZCW Heavyweight Title to Steven Holmes.

Steven Holmes' rise to #1 Contendership has been well documented. He scored marquee wins over Big Dave, Constantine, Chris K.O., and then beat Triple X at All or Nothing to capture his first one on one shot for the World Heavyweight Title. His opponent? The WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, "Showtime" David Cougar. His reputation precedes him: a former Lethal Lottery Winner, main-eventer of Kingdom Come III, two time Heavyweight Champion, and the current reigning WZCW World Heavyweight Champion. After All or Nothing, Holmes started a campaign to defame the champion. He harassed and revealed that Showtime had a wife and kid. The feud went beyond television and was made personal. Now, Showtime looks to not only defend his title at Lethal Lottery, but his honor and his family. David Cougar, Steven Holmes, and the World Heavyweight Championship at Lethal Lottery V! Order it now!

A battle for business has become a war of a personal nature and stuck in the centre of it all is the World Heavyweight Championship. Does it stay with David Cougar or become part of Steven Holmes? The real question is what do you guys think?

Lethal Lottery V - Combate A Muerte Mexicano: Dragon vs. Drake: Discussion

FunKay P. Lovecraft — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:30:41 GMT

El Califa Dragon is tired of Drake Callahan and Chris K.O.'s meddling actions. He put forth a challenge to the two men on Ascension 63, and Drake Callahan accepted it. The match will be contested under Mexican Death Match rules! The pinnacle of a long feud will come to a head at the Lethal Lottery as Drake and Califa square of once more on eve of WZCW's biggest match of the year! One has to wonder if El Califa will get the last laugh or if Drake will finally unmask the luchador and reveal to the world whether or not he is Ty Burna!

Truth or false, El Califa is Ty Burna? And who wins what is sure to be a brutal blood-fest? Let us know what your thoughts are in here!

Lethal Lottery V - Steel Cage Match: Grand Mystique vs. Mikey Stormrage: Discussion

FunKay P. Lovecraft — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:27:13 GMT

If Mikey Stormrage loses, he must join The Sacrificial Altar.

For months, Mikey Stormrage has been chasing The Grand Mystique around the arena show-in and show-out. Now, he will finally get the cult leader to himself within the confines of a steel cage. Will this be the moment that Mikey finally gets his long-waited revenge for his fallen comrade, or does Mystique have something up his sleeve? Will he corner Mikey into joining TSA once and for all or Mikey push through the pain?! Find out at the Lethal Lottery!

Is it Mikey's night for revenge or will Mystique convert him into a subject of the Sacraficial Altar? All discussion in here fellas!

Lethal Lottery V - The Bearded Gents (C) vs. Saxoteur vs. Technosa: Discussion

FunKay P. Lovecraft — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:25:50 GMT

The most mutable division in the company looks to gain some stability as they pit the three strongest teams in a triple threat match at the Lethal Lottery. In one corner, the champions, The Bearded Gentlemen, have fallen to each one of their competitors leading up to the event. Can they turn the tables on the biggest night of their young careers? In another, we have the former champions, Saboteur and Action Saxton. Faith was shaken in the epic heroes as they lost the belts to the current champions at All or Nothing. Now, they have evened the score with a win this past week and look to capitalize in their toughest test yet. Finally, we have the alliance of the deadly machine and schizophrenic madman, S.H.I.T. and Barbosa. The two men have bulldozed over every obstacle on their path to a tag title shot, even eliminating The Empire from the division. Now, they look to cement their groundwork and walk out of the event with gold. All three of these elements collide at the upcoming Pay-Per-View; don't miss it!

So what say ye' people of WZCW? Will our champions regain their momentum? Will Saxton and Saboteur retake what they believe is rightfully theres? Or are we on course for a dawn of deepy destructive tag age? Answers on a postcard, or otherwise give us your thoughts in here!

Tale Of The Tape

Dave — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:10:17 GMT

Ad you may have noticed (if you have read my RP) is that I used a new WZCW show concept that I created to make a "Tale Of The Tape" segment and graphic for Constantine.

If people are into it, I might make a graphic and the new show idea to give people a run down of how they might do in the Lethal Lottery match. Basically, it would be like a shorter, less detailed version of my RP.

Any takers?

Your Lethal Lottery Final 4

Dave — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:40:36 GMT

I am sure there was a thread for this last year but I'm on my phone and the search button doesn't work on the mobile skin.

Plus, I reckon it makes sense to make a new one since its a new Lottery altogether.

So, if you could craft a final 4 in the Lethal Lottery from anyone on the roster (minus the WHC), who would it be and why?

Mines has to be...

Sam Smith
Saboteur
Action Saxton and
Triple X

Personally, I think that the main event needs a few new faces in there and these 4 guys are more than capable of taking it all the way to Kingdom Come. I wouldn't say that any of them NEED it right now but it would be good to see any of them win it.

Now you go...

Who Do You Want To Return At The Lottery?

Thrash — Sat, 04 May 2013 10:32:31 GMT

Simple question, we all know that there will be a couple of returns at the Lethal Lottery, but who would like to see return? Here's mine;

Titus - I know that Titus was taking an "indefinite leave", but I would love to see him come back at the Lethal Lottery, because Titus is just one of those characters who could make a surprise return AND win it.

Black Dragon - I put this in another thread, I would love to see Black Dragon back in WZCW. I wasn't around when he disappeared, so I don't know what the reason was for him leaving, but I would love to see him back at the Lottery. I assume he's still got unfinished business with Rush, so who knows what could've happened?

Darren Bull - Just kidding.
