The camera fades in, following Smith through the corridor. The camera is behind him, following his back. When he turns a corner, the camera turns with him. The back has a picture of a hand holding up two fingers. Smith stops, opens a door and walks in. The camera follows him in and walks around, showing the middle of the room. There are a couple of other wrestlers in there. Smith finds CardiffCam, who is sitting on a bench, lifting weights. He looks up and sees Smith looking at him. He puts the weights down and stands up, still slightly smaller than Smith. Smith takes a deep breath over Cardiffcam's face. CardiffCam stares at Smith before speaking.

CardiffCam- Yes?

Smith takes another deep breath.

Smith- Excuse me if I come off a little aggressive...but I'm still a little pissed about Kingdom Come.

CardiffCam smirks.

CardiffCam- You mean how you were the only person not to win the championship?

Smith scowls.

Smith- Yeah, that. Look, I just came here make sure we're on the same page.

CardiffCam looks a little confused.

CardiffCam- I was gonna do the same thing. You lost to Baker and Baller just last week-

Smith- I lost that match, because of Kravinoff.

There is a pause.

Smith- You know what, I'll cut you a deal. We work together, we win the match and we both end up better for it.

CardiffCam- Give me one good reason.

Smith pauses, thinking.

Smith- Ah, I dunno. Where are you from.

CardiffCam looks at Smith like he's an idiot.

CardiffCam- ...Cardiff

Smith thinks about it but shakes his head.

Smith- I have no idea where Cardiff is.

CardiffCam shakes his head at Smith's idiocy.

CardiffCam- Wales...

Smith looks surprised.

Smith- God, you're Welsh? Ha, I thought you just had a speech impediment.

Smith laughs. CardiffCam doesn't.

Smith- Well, god save the queen.

CardiffCam just shakes his head and walks off. He whispers under his breath 'you cockney bastard'. He walks out of the room as Johnny Klamor walks in. Klamor walks over to Smith.

Klamor- Did I just hear you say you were actually trying to work together?

Smith- Yep

Klamor looks shocked.

Klamor- Were you serious?

Smith smiles

Smith- Who do you take me for? Of course not. No, as soon as I take care of the wannabe gangster and his “friend” Mr. Ball-er, I'll screw him over.

Klamor shakes his head.

Klamor- This wasn't worth the walk over. Oh, and you're not funny.

Klamor walks off. Smith glares after him. He looks at the cameraman and punches the Camera, cracking the screen. The segment ends there.

 

[Pimpin]

The scene opens up to a mansion like home located in the La Jolla section of San Diego, California to find James Baker with a full beard on his face and he's watching the television as he has a bottle of Grey Goose in his hands as his plate of food is scattered on the coffee table. Suddenly, Malik then comes walking into the room and has a rather disgusted look on his face as he looks at how trashed the place is.

Malik Jones: "Dammit James! Look at the mess that you've made?'

James: "Dog, just what the hell are you talkin' about?"

Malik Jones: "You know what i'm talking about. You've grown a beard that looks like pure shit, you look like you haven't showered in days, it smells like shit in here and you have food scattered on the coffee table while you have a bottle of Grey Goose in your hand."

James then stirs up to a seated position and then places his bottle of Grey Goose on to the coffee table.

James: "What exactly is your point?"

Malik Jones: "My point here is that while I understand that you came very close towards walking out of Kingdom Come with the Mayhem Title, the fact is...... is that you have to just forget about your shortcomings and just try to conquer the task at hand."

James: "That match was mine... it was all mine. I had Hammond right where I wanted him and yet I just had to take a risk and look at what happens? That's right, I didn't walk out with the belt and you know who's fault that is?"

Malik Jones: "Who's fault is it?"

James: "It's John Smith's fault. Yeah, you see Hammond pinned him in the Scramble match and as you and all of the great fans know already, that was the final pinfall of the match."

Malik Jones: "James. Are you even listening to yourself? You're blaming everybody else for your shortcomings. Jesus christ man, you've not been the same since Killjoy won your title."

James then stands there with a shocked expression on his face.

Malik Jones: "Do you even understand what i'm saying here?"

James then looks up at Malik with determination on his face.

James: "You know what Malik, you're right. I mean you're right about everything. Look at me for christ sake, I look like hell right now and I haven't been myself since I lost the title."

Malik Jones: "And how do you feel about all of this?"

James: "I feel ashamed. Disgusted actually, because I let the Mayhem Championship just take over everything. I know the title is not the only thing that I desire in this world and it makes me sick that I let this obsession over the belt consume me into well...... this. God damn what is wrong with me?"

Malik Jones: "Not a damn thing man."

James: "Then explain to me on why I had to feel like this."

Malik Jones: "Because you of all people know that heartache comes with the territory of being a champion. It's been like this since the cavemen days and it'll even continue to be like this once both of us are deceased and buried six feet under."

James: (suddenly a realization then comes into his head) "You know what? You're absolutely right, It seems like i've forgotten about how it was to lose a championship and instead, I just had to be obsessed with it. Well Malik, it's times like these that we have to remember where we came from and where we came from.... is the hood."

Malik Jones: "Are you suggesting for us to go back to the hood?"

James: "No. All i'm sayin' here is to not take things for granted as if we do, then we could just as easily end up back in the hood where we sell dope on the streets and dammit, i'm not gonna go back to that lifestyle. You hear?"

Malik Jones: "Yeah I hear you and if you want to prevent that from happening, then for christ sakes man, clean yourself up."

James: "Why?"

Malik Jones: "It don't look professional and you don't wanna go to work looking all like a Hobo from the side of the street, now do you?"

James: "Not really."

Malik Jones: "Then lean yourself up."

James: "Fine i'll do it, i'll do it."

James then gets up off of the couch, takes off his t-shirt and then heads into the bathroom. About 30 minutes later, he then comes out of the bathroom dressed up in clean clothes while his beard is still in tact. He then walks up to Malik with a rather confident expression on his face.

James: "There. Is this better?"

Malik Jones: "It's better and although I can't stand the beard, at least you're in clean clothes so I can't really complain too much."

James: "Anyways, did you ever get the chance to check what my next task is gonna be?"

Malik Jones: "I'd never thought you'd ask. You have a match at Ascesnion 11."

James: "Ight cool. Now who is my opponent?"

Malik Jones: "You see, that's the thing. It's a tag team match."

James: "Okay.... who are my opponents and just who the hell is my tag team partner?"

Malik Jones: "You'll be facing off against John Smith and CardiffCam in a Mayhem Rules tag team match while your partner is Mr. Baller."

James: "Ah, I get to team up with Baller again while beatin' up a woman beater and his sidekick. That's very cool to hear."

James then takes his bottle of Grey Goose and opens up the front door of his house where he notices Mr. Baller at the front door.

James: "What in the blue hell are you doin' here at my house?"

Mr. Baller: "Well seeing as how we are tag team partners for not only this week, but possibly for the near future. I figured, what the hell? Let's get ourselves more acquainted with each other and have some form of a friendship so to speak."

James: "Ight, but right now though. I gotta do this promo on our upcoming opponents. Do you wanna join in on this or do you just wanna stand there lookin' like an idiot?"

Mr. Baller: "Number one, i'm not an idiot. Number two, of course i'll join in and i'll take CardiffCam."

James: "Cool. That leaves me with Johnny Boy Smith."

James then drinks the rest of the Grey Goose and chunks the bottle into the street where it shatters into pieces before he speaks again.

James: "Sadly as you all know, neither Baller or myself came out of the Mayhem Scramble with the title. I was very close towards bein' the official champion, but enough about talkin' about what could've been here. Let's talk about our opponents this week as I start this little thing off by addressin' John Smith."

"Now John, you are a major, major disgrace to professional wrestling. I mean look at you, you damn sure don't possess the skills necessary to be of any use out there and your more of a liability, actually scratch that, you're more like a hazard to other people's hopes, dreams and personal goals and if you want proof, then just look back at Kingdom Come and Ascension 10 as it was your roided up ass who got pinned to shatter the outcome for everybody else who had a dream and a legitimate opportunity to make somethin' of themselves. It's a damn shame to be honest."

Mr. Baller: "Cardiffcam, what was your purpose Of being in the Mayhem Scramble match. The only thing you did was pin John Smith, what a waste of a spot in that match. But thank you for teaming up with Mr. Smith as we would just be getting bored beating up Johnny Boy, and but the sad thing is, your just as bad as him. You have no skills in that ring, you think your so god damn tough, yet that is all you have. No ring abilities and I......"

James coughs.

Mr. Baller: "I mean we are going to kick the living hell out of you."

James: "That's right Baller and at Ascesnsion, we will walk out with the victory as well as send Smith and his nancy boy back to that uptight place where they came from and that's that and nothin' more, believe that."

The camera then goes to a black screen as James and Baller walk inside of the house and close the door.

 

[CardiffCam]

CardiffCam is walking away from the gym, muttering under his breath, when Leon Kensworth approaches him.

Leon Kensworth- CardiffCam, we've just seen that heated discussion of yours with John Smith. What do you have to say on the matter?

CardiffCam grabs the mic, breathing heavily, then calms himself and pulls the mic up to his mouth.

CardiffCam- *laughs* Kingdom Come. The Mayhem Scramble match. There was only one real loser- John Smith. He was pinned, and he failed to win the championship for even a moment. But on the other side of things, there were two real winners. There was that unimportant cretin that took the title, and then there was me. How, you might ask, was I a victor? I've explained before, I think only in wins and losses. Over the course of this match, everyone either got pinned, or tapped out. Except Cardiffcam. I never have, and never will tap out in my stay in WZCW.

So, it seems they've decided to take the outright winner and loser of the match, stick em together in a tag team and let em face off against some jobbers who are nothing but a chav and a failure. I'm counting on John Smith not to screw this match up, and if he causes us a loss, I will beat him into the ground in the centre of the ring.

Leon Kensworth- Are you two going to be on the same page during the match, CardiffCam?

Cardiffcam- I'm sure you and everyone at home saw our little talk then- we tried to get on the same page, we did, but this Smith tosser just outdid his countries past acts of stupidity. Tell me Kensworth, do you know where Ottawa is?

Leon Kensworth- Of course, its the capital of Canada.

CardiffCam- exactly, of course he knows. The country is connected to his country. But Wales is unfortunately connected to England, and the fact you've never heard of the capital city shows how much of an ignorant twat you are. So we go out there tonight, and I keep this strictly buisness. Britain knows how to work together, we stand together in wars, in the olympics, in many things, and tonight will be no exception. But know this- the match is purely business. Anything after the match, is purely personal. One mistake, John Smith, and you shoot to the top of my hitlist. Ag os wyt ti ar ben y rhestr, well i ti gadw bwyll.

Cardiffcam throws the mic on the ground, with Leon Kensworth looking confused.

 

[Baller]

The scene opens up at the house of James Baker. Mr. Baller, James, and Malik are chilling on the couch.

Baker: Yo Becky just texted me, she wants us to get to the arena tomorrow for an interview.

Baller: Becky and I don’t have that great of a history.

Baker: Don’t worry about it, I talked to her about you, she said she is willing to move on, now that you are with me.

Baller: Do you got a thing for Miss Becky?

Baker tries to act cool.

Baker: Not anymore dog, we straight, but we not about that. We just friends and that's it.

Malik: Shut up James, it is pretty obvious. When was the last time you ever interviewed with anyone else.

Baker: Shut up, nobody asked you.

Baller: Alright boys, I’m gonna split. I got to pack and get ready for tomorrow. Just meet at this address tomorrow, and bring your shit and don’t be late. My pilot don’t deal with that.

Baker: How can we be on time if we don’t even know what time to show up?

Baller: My B. Show up 12:00.

Baller puts his coat on and leaves the house.

Camera fades out.

___________________________

The camera fades back in, the setting takes place at a small airport, where we see one huge plane. Mr. Baller is outside on the entrance ramp to the plane. The time is 12:05 when James Baker and Malik Jones pull up in their Mercedes.

Baker: Yo what up?

Baller: What the hell? I told you 12, and you show up at 12:05, your lucky I convinced my pilot to wait.

Malik: Chill out dog, we a few minutes late, we on gangsta time anyway.

Baller: Trust me I know all about your little gangsta time.

Baker: So do you?

Baller: I was more of a gangsta then you will ever be.

Malik: I highly doubt that.

Baller: Well get your crap out of your trunk, and get your asses on the plane. We can’t be making Jimmy back here wait any longer.

Jones and Baker get their stuff out of the car, and then head into the plane. The plane has about 8 rows of seats. The three choose to sit in the 4th row.

Pilot: Gentleman, we are about to head out to your desired destination, we should be there in just a few hours, so sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Baker: So now that we are an official team, we need a team name.

Baller: That is a true point, about something like Team Baller.

Baker: No! Absolutely not.

Baller: Fine, How about Baller and Baker?

Baker: Baker and Baller?

Baller: No.

Baker: Bakin Balls?

Baller: Now that is the worst name I ever heard.

All three of them crack up, as the attendant heads over to the three men.

Attendant: Hello, Baller and friends.

Baller: That is James and he is Malik.

Attendant: How are you gentleman today?

Baker: We are fine thank you.

Attendant: What would to you guys like to drink?

Baker: Coke

Malik: Sprite.

Baller: The usual

Attendant: I will bring that right out.

Malik: What in the World is “The usual”?

Baller: It is basically an Around the World.

Baker: What is an Around the World?

Baller: It is Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, and like every soda you can think of combined in the World.

Baker: Good thing I didn’t give up the gangsta life for that.

Baller: If you weren’t in the gangsta life, you would be flying in a private jet like this.

Malik: So what, at least we can win the Mayhem Champ for more then 5 minutes.

Baker: Malik chill, that is a low blow, we all know that bum John Smith cost both him and I the Mayhem Championship on more than one occasion.

Baller: Yeah chill before I throw your ass out this plane without a parachute.

Malik all of sudden closes his mouth and just looks out the window.

Attendant: Alright gentleman, here we go. Coke.

Baker: Thank you.

Attendant: And a Sprite for you sir.

Malik: Thanks.

Attendant: And Around the World, for Baller.

Baller: Thanks Lucy, you are doing a great job today.

Attendant: Thank you Sir, if there is anything else you need, just page me.

Baller: Hey Luce, can you put on that movie I just bought.

Attendant: The horror one?

Baller: Yes please.

Attendant: I will get right on that.

The movie begins to play and as it progresses through, we see Mr. Baller eating with a bag of popcorn, and James Baker is sleeping. On the window seat is Malik Jones who is holding on to Baker’s arm with a fierce grip. The scariest scene just played through the movie.

Malik: OH MY GOD!

Baker: What the hell is your problem? You just woke me up.

Malik: How can you sleep with this madness?

Baller: Chill out, it's just a movie.

Malik: When those zombies come for you, I am gonna laugh.

Pilot: We are just a few minutes away from our destination, the weather outside is sunny and the temperature is 74 degrees. Thank you for flying on Baller International Flights, please join us again soon.

Baller: He is just reading the script I gave him

Baker: I was going to say, that is pretty weird, considering we are the only people on the plane.

Baller: Sometimes I need to make a little extra cash.

Malik: Just wow.

Pilot: We are here. Please enjoy your visit, and have a good stay.

The 3 get off the plane, as they enter the limo ride, which takes them to the arena in which the next WZCW Ascension will take place. The three enter the arena, and waiting patiently with microphone in hand is Becky Serra.

Becky: Hi James, Hey Malik.

Baller: I guess I get no hello.

Becky: Not until you apologize.

Baller: Look Becky, I am not a man to apologize but I know I made some mistakes and I am ready to move on if you do.

Becky shrugs her shoulders

Becky: Ok, you are forgiven, now lets get this interview started.

Becky fixes her hair and looks at the mirror one last time before facing the camera.

Becky: Becky Serra here, with the newest tag team in WZCW, James Baker and Mr. Baller. So guys, there is Heavy Artillery, and Teach ‘N Kurtesy, what is your team name.

Baker: After a very long discussion on the way over here, we finally settled on The Ghetto Stars.

Becky: How did you come up with that name, Mr. Baller isn’t ghetto.

Baker: You see Becky, what the guys see on camera isn’t always the real Mr. Baller, even though he gave up the gangsta life, doesn’t mean you can’t be ghetto.

Becky: This week you face the unlikely team of John Smith and Cardiffcam, in a Mayhem Rules tag team match, Mr. Baller, what are your thoughts on this?

Baller: Well, before Kingdom Come, we tagged for the first time, and were considered that unlikely team that those two had, and we need to prepare for them just like any other team out there, as it will be a good match. However, this team of John Smith and Cardiffcam have one difference then them.

Becky: And what is that?

Baller: We realized that we are both big stars in WZCW, and if we teamed up we would be dominant, we were willing to team together, while these two just want to make sure the other one doesn’t screw up. But guys there is one problem with worrying about the other one screwing up. And that is you both will screw up, as The Ghetto Stars live for Mayhem Matches, we are the cream of the crop when it comes to Mayhem matches, and I promise, no I GUARANTEE, that you both will be bloodied at the end of the match, and the reason you lose will be BOTH your faults.

Becky: Smith and Cardiffcam both have individual plans to take both of you guys out, any opinions on the matter?

Baker, Baller and Malik just look at each other and laugh out loud.

Baker: Man that is some funny stuff, how could John Smith, a man who couldn't even pick up a win in an 8 man scramble match, say that. How about you get yourself a victory before you started talking out of your ass. Dog, Baller has my back and I have his back and there is barely any chance that either of you can harm either one of us, let alone both of us. And Cardiffcam, nobody gives a crap of where Cardiff lives because after this match, dog, I guarantee you will want to move back to Cardiff and live in seclusion, because even though you say you never will tap out, I guarantee you will be pinned, and if you don’t Mr. Baller will make you tap out.

Baller: And nobody breaks out of The Game Changer, and not only will the game be changed, so will your live because your body will be broken.

Becky: Thank you guys for your time, this is Becky Serra, signing off, with The Ghetto Stars, James Baker and Mr. Baller.
