I'm Literally Just Here for WZCW
We open Ascension to a panning shot of the crowd when the lights suddenly go out. The crowd pops in anticipation when a spotlight appears.
Connor: Welcome to WZCW Ascension, live at ringside, Im Cat Connor and next to me is Jack Cohen as we prepare for one last stop before Apocalypse.
Cohen: We are going to open up with the contract signing for the World Heavyweight Championship match at the pay-per-view!
Showtime steps up into the spotlight and gets a roar in response from this capacity crowd.
Cohen: David Cougar has offered to put up his career at Apocalypse and he still hasnt heard whether Drake has accepted his challenge.
Connor: I expect Drake will announce tonight his intentions regarding the match. He seems reluctant to even consider Showtime as a true opponent.
Showtime has made his way down to the ring and with a mic in hand, he looks ready for business.
Cougar: Ive waited for a number of weeks to get an answer from our cowardly World Champion and tonight he has to face me in this ring and sign this damn contract! This is happening here and now!
With the crowd booing and expecting to see the champion, the arrival of Max Powers doesnt alleviate the crowds reaction. Max has a mic but doesnt approach the ring.
Connor: Its fair to say that Cougar is not appreciative of Max turning up.
Cohen: David Cougar is never going to be happy. Let Max speak will ya?
Powers: Mr Cougar, you are done demanding things from my client. I will not allow you to demand unreasonable things from him.
Cougar: Maxie, this contract needs Drakes signature on it and that needs to be done tonight.
From behind Powers, Drake appears. He places his hand on the shoulder of his agent and reassures him before taking his mic. Drake walks down to the ring and Cougar seems contented.
Callahan: Cougar, you are a failure wrapped up in a broken down shell. Ill happily sign this contract because I dont see a challenger to my World Heavyweight Championship, I see a mere roadbump in my path to becoming a great legend in WZCW. In what world do you think that I will do anything but retire you at Apocalypse!?
Cougar: You really are deluded Drake. Do you really think I am going to lie down for you, knowing my career is on the line? And not just my career is on the line, but the prize that I chased my entire career? You have my World Championship and you may well claim my career but you will never have my respect or the respect of these brilliant fans.
Cougar: You can threaten the company all you want with your contract demands but I can assure you, if these fans dont respect you then why should the company place any value in what you can do?
Callahan: Show, Im going to come out of Apocalypse with everything I want, your career, your dreams and my World Heavyweight Championship and you will be left with nothing except your company pension.
Drake signs the contract and shoves the paper towards Cougar.
Cougar: Well Drake you dont scare me and your demands dont either. Its my pleasure to sign this damn contract at last.
Showtime goes to sign but as he does, Callahan assaults him, clubbing him across the back and stomping him to the floor.
Cohen: Its no real surprise that this has come to blows. The egos of these two dont allow them to co-exist.
Callahan then picks him up and whips him into the corner but Showtime gets a boot up to the face. Drake swipes with an attempted lariat but Showtime ducks it and hits the Ratings Crash!! With the crowd fully behind him and eating up this attack, Showtime stands Drake up and hits the Final Act!!! Show grabs the mic and gets in Drakes face. He slaps the mat three times.
Cougar: At Apocalypse, your Final Act as WZCW World Champion will be one of my finest moments!
Connor: Id say that was a surprise for Drake and Max! Callahan thought he had the advantage but the former World Champion fought back hard.
Show signs the contract and drops it over Drake before posing on the middle rope of the nearby corner. Max Powers comes down to tend to Callahan.
