The camera spins around the arena as the opening theme music plays out loudly. Amongst the signs that can be seen in the crowd, the name of Titus seems to be the most prevalent. The fans are on their feet and almost rucous as the voice of Meltdown welcomes us.
Copeland: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, after what seems like forever away. My name is Sebastian Copeland and tonight I am joined by the one and only Jack Cohen. But more importantly, tonight, WZCW rocks up to one of the most iconic WZCW locations. The home of Titus Avison... It is, of course, Keystone City!
Cohen: Absolutely right, Seabass! It is, invariably, going to be a huge night for WZCW and an edition fo Meltdown that no one is going to forget. The main event is a 6 man brawl that will shape the foundations of WZCW for a long time to come by the looks of it. Vis Imperium may finally get a taste of their own medicine as three Hall of Fame superstars team up in a huge 6-man tag match.
Copeland: That and so much more, Jack. The Great Milenko makes his TV debut after a huge hiatus and so does Ace Stevens. It's going to be a big night, folks. Mar my words!
The familiar echoes of John Constantine's entrance music catches everyone by surprise the golden lights that mark his entrance begin flickering. A huge wave of cheering meets the opening chords – an emotion that must still feel very alien to a man who has made a career out of being the bad guy. After a few seconds, Constantine finally makes his way out onto the ramp to a massive ovation from the Keystone natives. He allows a wide smile to appear on his face as he begins his walk towards the ring.
Copeland: And what a huge way to start the night, folks. Let's not forget that, somehow, Constantine has managed to book himself into the main event of Unscripted in a few weeks time. The Heavyweight Championship will be on the line for probably the final time in Constantine's illustrious career. And his opponent? None other than the man who supplanted him as the leader of Vis Imperium – Justin Cooper.
Cohen: He may be smiling tonight, Seabass. But wait until Unscripted when Constantine gets into the ring with the best Heavyweight Champion that this company has seen in years. A man who's legacy probably goes way above and beyond that of the Power Trip. He wont be smiling then!
Constantine finishes his walk towards the ring and mounts the steps. In his traditional suit, Constantine cuts the figure of a man with the utmost confidence in himself. He offers the fans one final smile before picking up the microphone from the steel steps and getting into the ring.
Constantine: I'm not out here to steal the show-
Suddenly, a massive roar of approval from the Keystone natives drowns out the WZCW Hall of Fame superstars. So much so that he stops for a moment and allows a massive grin to creep across his features. After the noise settles a little, Constantine continues.
Constantine: Like I said, I am not out here tonight in a vain attempt to steak the show from anyone. I am aware of the location of tonight's show and that the only person you really want to see has a EurAsian Championship strapped to his waist.
Another massive roar greets the words of Constantine as he continues to pander to the baying audience. An audience that is lapping it up.
Constantine: But it is worth me coming out here tonight and setting a few things straight. First of all, my retirement is coming at me very fast. In a few months time, it will be Kingdom Come – my final Kingdom Come. And with that, my final match will come too. I really hope that by that time, I have ticked off as many things on my WZCW bucket list as I possibly can. Winning the Lethal Lottery at the 6th time of asking would be nice. Winning the EurAsian Championship and being the man to finally beat Titus would be even better.
Suddenly, a harsh boo meets the Power Trip for the first time in the night. Constantine simply smiles through the joke and keeps talking.
Constantine: But the thing that is going to mean the most to me is driving a stake through the heart of Vis Imperium! For too long, the group that I created and spearheaded have run roughshod over this company and have held everyone down in the process. It is only now that I realise what I did to everyone else in the back and why no one will take my new persona seriously.
Constantine stops for a moment, allowing the peak behind the curtain to really sink into the audience.
Constantine: But when I finally get rid of Vis Imperium by beating Justin Cooper at Unscripted, people will realise that everything I ever did in my career was for the betterment of this company. All of the plots I have hatched and all of the schemes I have rendered have all been with the one goal in mind – to make WZCW the best wrestling product on the market. When I finally get rid of Vis Imperium and Justin Cooper from the perch they currently sit upon, I'll have accomplished that!
Copeland: You know, I thought the Heavyweight Champion just might have something to say about that, Jack.
Cohen: Well, what kind of Champion would he be if he just let someone like Constantine run him down to nothing? This is the kind of Champion that Justin Cooper is – willing to do the difficult things and stand on his own two feet. A Champion that all of these people can really be proud of.
After a few seconds of relentless booing, Justin Cooper makes his first appearance at Meltdown, the Heavyweight Championship around his waist and a strange briefcase in his left hand. He offers a sly smile towards Constantine – who seems to be oddly happy that Cooper has appeared at all.
Cooper: You know, John, you really have a nerve, don't you? You stroll out here to the adulation of these absolute buffoons like a new man. There is a big smile on your face and you say all of the right things to get a reaction from these fans. I've got to admit, I thought you better than simply pandering to the fans to try and get over. But, hey, I've been giving you more credit than you are due for the majority of your career.
With that, Cooper bursts out laughing as Constantine continues to smile in the middle of the ring.
Cooper: What's worse is that you try and be something new to all of these people – like that is going to interest them. But really, you're fooling no one. You're still the same old John Constantine under the new suit and the new smile. You act like you are a man of the people now, a trait that would probably have served you better if you'd have learned it when you were a politician. But you, more than most around here, should know that people are stupid – they always have been. They only hang onto the most entertaining thing and when the water hole is dried up, they simply move onto the next big thing.
More booing meets the harsh words of the Heavyweight Champion but Cooper seems to care very little for the audience reaction – he is in the zone and only has eyes for the man he will face at Unscripted in a few weeks time.
Cooper: But I am a true man of the people in that regard, John. I am going to give the people what they want and teach you a lesson in the process. The lesson that these fans might be cheering for you now but as soon as I am done with you – and you are lying in the middle of the ring at Unscripted, just hoping for your retirement to come even sooner and put you out of your misery – these people will move on. I AM THE KING OF ENTERTAINMENT!
Cooper's sudden exclamation is a little lost amongst the feedback from the speakers in the arena. But the sick smile on the face of Cooper says everything the fans need to know.
Cooper: That's why, on this very night, I am offering a bounty on your head, John. A $50,000 bounty in fact. A bounty that will be happily rewarded to the man or woman who finally puts you out of action and retires your sorry ass once and for all.
True to the words of Cooper, the fans seem to be on high alert as the huge admission is made by the Heavyweight Champion.
Cooper: The rules are simple, ladies and gentlemen, retire John Constantine and claim the bounty from the Heavyweight Champion!
Copeland: Wow! What a huge announcement from- Wait a minute! What is going on behind Cooper?
Cooper begins laughing but attention is drawn away from his massive announcement as the tron behind him flickers into life, revealing the face of Titus Avison! The fans in the arena are on their feet and cheering so loudly that the first few words of Titus' speech are completely lost amongst it. Hearing the reception from the fans backstage, Titus allows a smile to appear on his face.
Titus: Guys, guys! Why are you two out there hashing the buzz of these great people in the first place? Don't you know that the people of this great city only came to see one man and you are looking at him!? Bounty, Championships, matches... They all pale in comparison to one thing, gentlemen! Titus back in his home city of Keystone, BABY!!
With that, Cooper offers one final sick smile in the direction of Constantine before turning on his heels and exiting the stage. Titus offers the fans a massive smile as his music begins playing and the show goes to commercial
