*Truman Harrys is standing in the middle of the ring at a WZCW house show.*
Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from
*However, before Harrys can finish, he is interrupted by a blasting trumpet.*
*As the trumpet dies down, it is replaced by perhaps the least expected of entrance music
*
*While the crowd does not exactly pop with joy, they do all rise to their feet in anticipation of the return of one of WZCW's more controversial stars
And there he is! Bedecked in a royal robe, his head garlanded with a Burger King crown, wearing a huge smile and trailing a Freudian picture with him, Hunter Kravinoff saunters down the aisle. However, it quickly becomes apparent that there is something amiss. First off, Kravinoff appears to have lost some weight and more surprisingly height. Secondly, he appears to have a picture of Lucian Freud rather than the psychoanalyst and thirdly his face appears to be contorted into a permanent, rubbery smile.
As he ascends the rings steps, the arriving monarch gestures to Harrys to open up the rings ropes for him. Clearly perplexed, Harrys does so and then allows the regal newcomer to take the microphone from him.*
Kravinoff: It is okay, Mr Harrys. The next match has been indefinitely postponed to give the people time to bask in the glory and do homage to their new lord. Now, please kindly leave the ring so that we can address our loyal and trusted subjects.
*Harrys still has a perplexed look on his face, unsure of what to do and looking around him to gety some direction. However, before he can get any, "Kravinoff" marches towards him and gets right in the announcer's face.*
Kravinoff: Who are you to defy your king! Get the hell out of the ring and out of our royal presence!
*There is a brief staredown between the anxious Harrys and the unmoving, unblinking mask of "Kravinoff," which despite the permanent smile on its visage manages to emanate unstable anger. Slowly, Harrys backs off and leaves the ring. "Kravinoff" then turns to the audience, bows and gives numerous royal waves. However, as he circles the ring, it becomes clear that the crowd are not taken in by his majesty.*
Kravinoff: Why do you not kneel before us, your royal ruler?
*The crowd begins to voice its displeasure.*
Kravinoff: You ingrates! We will have you all you blocks knocked off if this treasonous insolency does not stop!
*The booing continues to rise. "Kravinoff" gives a sigh and whispers into the mic.*
Kravinoff: Forgive them, for they know not what they do
It is not your fault, good people of WZCW. Why would you kneel before such a cretin as Hunter Kravinoff?
"Kravinoff" puts his head in his hands and in one horrifying moment seems to pull his entire face off, knocking off his crown in the process, to reveal
Barbosa.
The Smoker:
for as you can see, we are not that villainous cretin. We are Barbosa and at last, you all have a monarch worthy of the name!
Manic: Although that Ricky guy was avast improvement!
*Barbosa gives himself a look of disgust.*
The Smoker: Oh for gods' sake
Depressive: Before we get anymore distracted we would just like to say that
Manic: WE TOLD YOU SO! We are Kravinoff For A Day!
*The audience are then subjected to the ridiculous scene, more ridiculous than him arguing with himself, of Barbosa, still dressed in the regal robe, dancing around the ring. However, he abruptly stops.*
The Smoker: What the hell was that?
Manic: That was our "We told you so" dance.
*Barbosa puts his head in his hands again for a few seconds before continuing to address his adoring public.*
Depressive: We were successful at Apocalypse in becoming Kravinoff For A Day but in doing so we have come to have a revelation
*Barbosa lets a look of sadness wash over his face.*
Depressive: We cannot truly be Kravinoff For A Day
*Even with the absurdity of the situation, anticipation builds in the crowd as they might be about to witness an historic moment as Barbosa seems set to address the controversy regarding the end of the Apocalypse showdown.*
Depressive: We cannot be Kravinoff For A Day because
*Suddenly, the look of sadness vanishes, to be replaced with a devilish smile.*
Depressive:
we have not allowed ourselves to be fooled by Big Dave's machinations.
We did not abandon WZCW at the eve of our glorious, climactic victory.
And we certainly did not need to turn to some ludicrous court case to try and get revenge for the shame of our inability to outwit a halfwit.
Therefore, we cannot be Kravinoff For A Day because that would be a step down. We are better than Kravinoff...
The Smoker: We are King For A Day!
*Barbosa raised his arms in triumph, to the crowd's dissatisfaction. While his arms are raised, Barbosa looks at the Kravinoff mask that he is still holding and gets a far away look in his eye, as if he is reminiscing.*
Depressive: What would he think seeing us here now in front of you all as King For A Day?
The Smoker: WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS!?!
Manic: Yeah, Hunter is a scaredy cat!
*Barbosa throws the Kravinoff mask to the mat and points at it.*
Depressive: This is the last you will see of Mr Andrew Morgan. His music, his mannerisms
Manic: and his stupid face
Depressive:
are consigned to the dustbin of WZCW history, a mere footnote in our story of greatness
*Barbosa then stamps on the mask, which being rubber, does not do it any real damage but Barbosa fails to notice this.*
Depressive:
a stepping stone in our rise to the top, a smear on the sole of our boot.
The Smoker: Speaking of smears on the bottom of our shoe, that brings us neatly on to Big Dave.
*The crowd pops at the mention of his name.*
Depressive: David, Apocalypse was just that for you
while we have known it for some considerable period, it brought the revelation that you are not good enough to best us; lifted the veil obscuring the vision of all who doubted us and believed in you.
It was truly the end of your time as King
The Smoker: Dave, you can go play with shit for all we care.
*A wave of shock spreads over the crowd.*
Manic: We cannot say that
The Smoker: Say what? What is wrong with saying Big Dave can go play about with S.H.I.T.? You know, that Simulated Hemorrhoid Idiotic Technology? The guy who thinks he is a robot?
Dave can go play about with him and all the other has-beens and wannabes that we have left in our wake in Mayhem qualifiers and dark match battle royales.
*The crowd boos at the suggestion that Big Dave is finished with this "king."*
The Smoker: Oh, you do not like that? Well before we move on to our Meltdown opponents, we should tell you of something else you may not like
*Barbosa stares straight into the camera that is present.*
The Smoker: Ty Burna! This is the voice of the King! We know that you can us! We have not forgotten Lethal Lottery and how you have avoided us since. But now there is nothing to stop us.
We were going to cash in and take your title at the conclusion of Apocalypse but we decided to make you wait.
Depressive: We want you to think about it, pray on it, consult your board game on it... all the while knowing that your time is up. You just will not know when.
Manic: The shiny gold belt is going to be ours!
*The crowd do not know how to respond to the promise of a new champion.*
Depressive: And now, on to the Forgotten Powers
The Smoker: What exactly is there for us to worry about?
A team made up of a wimp wearing a gauntlet that thinks the whole world is his own personal video game and someone so stupid that he has trouble remembering his own name; a thrown-together team that only has a tag title reign to their credit by default as that division is dead on its feet; a team beaten by the tandem pairing of a man who thinks it is 1911 and someone who only thinks he is as unstable as us.
We have made mince meat out of better teams than these usurpers. We will not take the time to list them all again but rest assured your king will have no problem striking the good Doctor Alhazred off from the WZCW register and
Manic: Is he really a doctor? Could he help us?
The Smoker: Doctor
? No! He is an engineer
As for James King, we will beat him so badly that he will drop his usurped surname!
There can be only one King in WZCW!
