Announcer: Welcome everyone to The Show. Now here's your host, Showtime David Cougar!
(The Band starts playing and the audience applauds as the giant portrait frame door opens and on the other side is not David Cougar, but a midget who resembles him almost exactly. The audience laughs as the miniature Showtime waves and sits himself on the big leather host chair. The audience laughs again as his eyes barely make it over the table. The chair then turns 180 degrees to reveal the real David Cougar, all smiles as usual, sharply dressed.
Cougar: We're all fun and games here tonight. Thank you thank you, we got a wonderful show for you all tonight. Welcome to The Show. I am your host, the golden boy on the TV screen, Showtime David Cougar.
Now last week the Show walked into Meltdown 23, a million light bulbs flashing for his every move, stepped into the ring with a monstrous beast, and did just what I said I would do and that's put him to rest. I laid waste upon his retched soul and continued to prove why I am WZCW's most talked about new comer. As always, the ratings for my match were through the roof. In fact, the numbers were so high in some places that many local stations overloaded causing many homes to lose connection and robbing millions of people from watching the rest of Meltdown. Word is ratings climaxed about 1 minute before I beat Criminal Karnage.
Criminal Karnage, you fought the law... and the law won. Around WZCW, I am the law. I am the star of this company, destined to skyrocket straight to the top, and no man, woman, or heartless criminal is going to stop me on my way. Karnage found that out at Meltdown 23 and each and everyone of my opponents that I will face will find that out as I go on to make history by becoming WZCW's first ever EurAsian champion.
I fought the law and the law one. It's really very catchy, I think perhaps Criminal K should use it for his entrance music. Hey Marty (Cougar points towards his band leader) play 'I fought the law', original style not that Green Day version.
(The band starts playing 'I fought the law'. Showtime is playing a little air guitar in the back as he turns back to his audience)
Well now seems like the perfect time to introduce our guest for the evening. He has been working with the law in locating his captor and lets hope they win, ladies and gentleman, Leon Kentsworth.
(Leon walks in from the side and waves at the audience. He takes a seat on the couch next to Showtimes desk.)
Leon: Uhh, It's Kensworth actually.
Riggghht... so Kentsworth, how does it feel to be back at work?
Well its...
And by back at work I mean did you get a chance to see my match?
Well yes in fact...
It was awesome. I totally agree.
That's not what I was...
So your saying it wasn't awesome?
No, it was awesome....
And outstanding. I couldn't agree more, well said Leon, good input. Leon Kentsworth, is this guy not the most flattering person you've ever met. Give him a hand.
So Leon, tell us about your captivity. What do you remember, what was it like?
Well what I remember...
Yeah it was a pretty big story, but you know what's an even bigger story is my sudden take over of WZCW. I am bringing in big dollar figures for this company and delivering highlight after highlight moment. I am proving to be the best acquisition this company has had in a very long time.
Yes you have been doing quite well, but...
Quite well..., I am the shining star of the WZCW cast. I am the best performer this company has had in a long time and the numbers don't lie. Everybody's been talking about Showtime. Thank you for bringing that up.
Yes very well, but I thought you wanted me on your show to talk about my disappearance...
Oh, Kentsworth gets up-ducted and suddenly he thinks everything is about him. Kentsworth I have asked you repeated questions about your emotional state and your whereabouts and all you have been talking about is me and my greatness. I think you have a thing for me, flattering as it may be, I don't play that way, Kentsworth.
KENSWORTH! and you won't let me get a word in edgewise.
Okay Mr Kentsworth. Then let's talk about my opponent, Ty Burna. Leon you might fancy yourself an expert on criminals now after your little hostage thing, what do you make of my opponent. Should he not be locked away like the rest of the scum like Criminal Karnage?
Although I don't approve of some of the things he says, I have never met the guy and have never seen him commit any crimes so...
So you're saying we should release every criminal that we haven't actually witnessed commit a crime? Is that what you're saying Leon?
No, all criminals should be tried and punished...
So you agree that Burna has no place in WZCW?
What?!? that's not what I...
You couldn't be more right Leon. Burna is no different than Criminal Karnage, except he hasn't gotten caught yet. And once again, it's up to me to protect the viewers from his insane nature. Burna has no place on TV or in wrestling. His place should be in a comfortably padded room. And I am just the man to put him in that place and end his reign of terror. When we step into the ring, I will shine over his darkness and out perform him in every aspect and move one step closer to the EurAsian title. Ty, I am everything that you aren't, successful, good looking, I'm more athletic, faster, smarter, better. You don't have anything that I don't already have.
Well there is one thing he has that you don't.
And what's that Kentsworth?
The Ouija. It tells him he'll win.
Is that so. (Showtime smiles a mischievous smile and pulls out from under his desk a Parker Brothers. Ouija Board Game) Ohhh those evil Parker Brothers. Come on, let's try this out.
Are you serious?
Yeah
(So Cougar lays the board on the table and he and Leon both put their hands on the planchette. Leon's eyes widen as the planchette starts to move even though Cougar appears to be putting no effort into moving it. It begins to spell out a message.)
S-H-O-W-T-I-M-E-W-I-N-S-A-T-M-D-2-4
That's incredible!
See, The Ouija has spoken and says I will win as well. The only thing worth trusting in this world, is the script. And the script says that the star of its show, me, Showtime David Cougar, will be victorious at Meltdown 24.
(All of a sudden, the Showtime midget comes running out from under the table, kicking Leon in the shin, then runs to the side and off the stage. The audience laughs. In his back pocket appears to be a magnet.)
Ouch, that little bas...
Hey, hey, this is a family show. Besides, you don't want to get us all in shit by calling him SpikesWaggle.
Did he have a magnet in his...
Well that about wraps up our time, thank you very much Leon Kentsworth for showing up. The lovely Showtime Girl will escort you off the stage.
(An attractive looking blonde girl comes through the Showtime portrait door and holds Leon's arm as she escorts him off stage. Leon can be heard muttering Why did I come back)
Well Ty, here's what it comes down to. I am the most talked about wrestler of this company, I am the star of this show, and I am the biggest thing to ever walk in front of a camera. The fans know it, the guys in the back know it, and you'll know it too when we meet inside the ring.
Your win over USA, impressive as you think you may have done, means nothing. Much like the country that he names himself after, Ulysses is weak and crumbling under the pressure. How do you expect to handle the difference between facing someone who was 0-3 in their last 3 matches and someone who's riding high on a 2 match win streak, and continues to be the highlight reel performer of WZCW each and every week. The short answer is, you can't and you won't. When the spotlight shine down on us in the ring, you will burn to dust while I will shine perfection. I will be the one moving forward at Meltdown 24, not you.
Ladies and Gentleman that about wraps up another edition of The Show. Be sure to tune in next week when I will be one step closer to winning the EurAsian Title. Till then, I am The Show. WZCW's highest rated superstar.
