Phoenix

WZCW's First Triple Crown Champion
Almost a rematch of Ascension 27 takes place as Bowen and Cooper get another shot at the champion, something Chris Jones is taking a liking to. Will this be further success under the Jones' belt and will see development for his defence of Kingdom Come?

Deadline is Tuesday 1st March 23:59 EST
 
The scene shoots into outside of Alex Bowen’s house, Leon Kensworth is standing outside knocking on his door. After about three minutes of knocking a Muffled noise can be heard coming from inside the house. The door handle rattles and Alex opens the door with a pissed off look on his face and blurts out a daised

Alex- What?!

Leon looks taken back by this and steps away from Alex's front door.

Leon- Well, Mr. Bowen I have some business to talk with you. Can my cameraman and I come in?

Alex- Whatever I guess so.

Leon follows Alex into his front room, He walks over to his couch he was just sleeping on and flops down on it. Black grease lines are still on his face and he is still in full wrestling gear . His boots are untied as we look at him shaking his legs staring up at the ceiling. Below his feet is a phone on a charger with a red light blinking the number 17, implying as if he has 17 unanswered calls. His clothes are wrinkled and he has a 5 o' clock shadow. He motions for the camera man to go over and pull the blinds with his right hand. The camera man obliges and opens it, leaving Leon Kensworth with a small stack of paper in his hands to stand by himself. A glare instantly encompasses the room and Alex yawns and stretches out a bit then begins to talk.

Alex- You guys just can't leave me alone can you?

Alex reaches up to his face and raises and eyebrow as he scratches his stubble. He looks over in the corner at a clock He raises his eyebrows at the time.

Alex- Jesus what is today?

Leon- Mr. Bowen it's Tuesday....

Alex- Well I'll be damned, I guess that match really did take a lot out of me! Well it was a good sleep, maybe Ferbian finally knocked something loose with that shot to the head to make me sleep better!

Leon- Yes, that was a pretty hellish shot to your head. Are you fit to compete?

Alex- I lost count of my concussions years ago, kid. I highly doubt he gave me more than a bump, but if it was that head shot that got me that much sleep I thank him.

Alex shrugs his shoulders and yawns as he twists his legs down to the floor to set himself up on the couch. He looks outside his front window and grimaces.

Alex- The hell with this snow, I'm getting sick of shoveling.

Leon- Hire someone to do it? I'm sure if you threw a five at some kid walking down the street he would come do it. Your driveway isn't that big anyways.

Alex looks up at Leon Kensworth with a stink eye and stares at him.

Alex- Are you making fun of my living accommodations?

Leon- Well besides it being a very bachelorish pad, it is kind of small for a WZCW superstar.

Alex snorts and glares at the camera man and Leon.

Alex- Well I'm sorry I’m not Dave or Ty Burna. I don't steal the show with my title belts or sweet moves.

Alex throws up the two quotation fingers on the word sweet.

Alex- I go in and get stuff done, so I don't get paid the big bucks.

After saying that, Alex reaches down on the floor below the couch and picks up a pack of Newport cigarettes. He flips open the pack and flips one out to put into his mouth, lights it, and inhales deeply

Alex-Sure I might not have won my last match, but I'm not going to sitt and stew in my own sorrow about it. I'm going to get up and...

Leon interrupts Alex and begins to look at his papers.

Leon- Well Mr. Bowen here is the fact. The show you put on last week with the other men in that match has earned you another shot at the Mayhem Title.

Alex raises his eyebrow and the lit cigarette droops in his mouth as he smiles at the interviewer.

Alex- Well really now Mr. Kensworth that’s news to me. I've been catching flack for weeks from everyone. Everyone from Chuck Myles down to the lowest Alex Bowen hater has said that I can't do anything right in WZCW. Chuck even went on to say that he's glad I'm nowhere near any of the titles. Now he's begging me to put on another match like I did last week?

Alex nods and puckers his face up in agreement. He wiggles his cigarette up and down as he talks.

Alex- I knew he would come around. If it was his idea to put me in this division then trust me it was a good one. I've done it all in the hardcore division, and basically isn't that what this is Leon?

Leon- Well it is a division without rules Mr. Bowen, but we do need one thing from you just like last week. A contract needs to be signed stating you wont fault WZCW if you are injured, bruised, cut, bludgeoned, set on fire, electrocuted, Impaled....

Alex gestures to Leon to be quiet as he holds his head.

Alex- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the whole mumbo jumbo politics of the hardcore division. This isn't the first contract signing in my life, dude.

Leon pulls a few papers off of the stack he is holding and folds them neatly. He leans down in front of Alex and grabs a pen out of his pocket. Alex puts his hand out and Leon puts the pen in his hand and then the paper. Alex looks up at him and points to a blank line with two other signatures above it. He points to it and Leon smiles and nods his head. Alex signs on the dotted line and then throws the contract up in Leon's face. The interviewer straightens up in fright and fumbles trying to catch the contract. He misses and it falls to the floor. He sighs and leans down to pick it up. With contract in hand he leans back up and then pulls down on his neatly pressed baby blue shirt.

Leon- So that’s it? You didn't even read it! Don't you care, that could of been signing your life away?

Alex- Signing my life away? Where the hell am I going Leon? This is all I can do. I highly doubt anyone in the business world would hire me. So basically I don't give a damn what Chuckie puts in his contracts as long as I get paid. He pays me, and I go in and take care of my business.

Leon- And what would that be?

Alex- See Leon, Chuck Myles made a large mistake putting two other men in the ring with me. I don't need to read that contract, I already know what it says.

Leon- And your point is Mr. Bowen?

Alex- Don't catch a tone with me, you know nothing of the business. They just pay you to run your mouth. I don't need to talk, I let my work talk for me. I am hardcore personified, both of my opponents are just basically new wrestlers who don't have a place in this company yet. Unlike them, this is my home... and it always will be

Leon- Whatever makes you sleep better at night. I do have one question I've been mulling around in my mind though Alex.

Alex looks up at Leon with the cigarette still in his mouth. A long overhang of ash is building on it and it falls to the floor. Alex takes the smoke out of mouth after one long drag and proceeds to blow it in Leon's direction.

Alex- What would that be Mr. Professional Interviewer?

Leon- Why do you do what you do? We've seen you bruised and battered for years now. Do you have no regard for your own well-being like they say?

Alex- Well really I do, but its like this.

Alex stands up and moves closer to Leon, he takes off his black Machine Head tee shirt and points to his right shoulder, one large keloid stands out on his white skin.

Alex- I've had reconstructive surgery twice on this. I have thousands of scars on my body. I've seen more doctors that have told me 'Alex you need to stop. Alex your body just won't take much more of this kind of beating.' What do these two clowns even have to bring at me?

Leon- What are you getting at here?

Alex- What I'm getting at is I get that question so much that it bores me. I can sit in front of you for hours in my underwear and show you scars, burn marks, and bruises that will never go away. But will that really show you anything?

Leon- I think what you do is impressive.

Alex shakes his finger at Leon.

Alex- Don't kiss my ass, Kensworth. You don't care and the fans don't care. I can go out and spear my body with thousands of thumbtacks and run broken glass over my forehead for hours. Will you care any more or any less about me?

Leon looks down at his feet.

Leon- No....

Alex- Exactly, that's why I am who I am now. Chris Jones and Justin Cooper have signed a death waver by signing that contract. Want to know why?

Leon- Sure.

Alex- Because both men have no real business in the ring with me. What makes them hardcore? The one raps, but really have you ever traversed the streets of Detroit like me? Detroit was my home base for well over ten years, and for the next ten years. I am to this division what you only wish you could be. You want this to work out so much that you have no clue who your messing with. You have a big head, and a big mouth kid, but this week I'll take care of both of those problems for you. After that I'll still be here while you can go back to your cushy home and act like you were even in the ring with me

Leon looks at Alex kind of taken back with wide eyes. Alex stares at Leon almost in rage pointing his finger at him.

Alex- I'll still be here, this is my job. This has always been my job, I have no clue why kids keep trying to step into the ring with me. Hardcore is what I do. They think they can work their way up the ladder after me?

Leon- That’s the general idea in WZCW.

Alex- Well they can't. And Chris Jones wants to mock me? You were there Leon, that kid had the balls to say that I'm not good and that anyone can be tailor made for the hardcore division.

Alex stops and and closes his eyes to takes a deep breath as the last statement he just made has flustered him. He is taking deep breaths, his chest can be seen rising and falling as he tries to control his anger.

Alex- That is ware you are wrong Mr. Save us all, your quite mistaken. You and Cooper have no business even being in this place, let alone with me. I can maim bodies boy, I can make your faces into things that even your own mother wouldn't even recognize. I am the worst thing that you ever walked into. You both took your chances when you signed that contract, now I'll dig your graves. Last week was only a taste of what this division is really suppose to be like. No one here is like me, and no one after me will ever revolutionize this division like I will. I'm bringing hardcore back to WZCW in style. You or your friend wont be able to stop me.

Leon is shaken by this statement and spits out a question.

Leon- And...... Why is that?

Alex gets real close into the side of Leon's face. He is trying to whisper in his ear.

Alex- Because there aren't any bodyguards for Justin to hide behind, and Chris' god is dead. The only thing they have in the ring with them against me is their own two hands and whatever they can pick up with them.

Alex Bowen stops and snaps his head up. An evil smile twists over his face as he is thinking. He looks over at a large door behind Leon and walks towards it with great haste. With wide eyes he swings open the door and reaches in to pull the light switch. We can see clutter, brooms and a sweeper, but Alex moves the sweeper and behind it laying in the corner is the end of a long black baseball bat. A large scratch forms on the wall as he pulls it out. A huge mesh of barbed wire is balled at the end of it. Still shirtless, Alex flips it up to his shoulder and the barbed wire connects with his flesh. A dull thud can be heard and Leon looks on, cringing. With a huge smile, Alex walks over to Leon and pats him on the shoulder.

Alex- But this is my bodyguard, and my savior. Justin, and Chris please check up on your medical insurance. Because after Meltdown I will be taking my title, and if you both see fit to stand in my way. You both will meet the same fate, a hospital bed and a spot in the unemployment line. Because this will be a clinic in hardcore wrestling, your both are going to rue the day you said OK to a match with Alex Bowen

Alex Bowen extends his bat towards the camera. The end almost touches the lens, but the barbed wire halts it. He has a large smile on his face, steps up to Leon, puts his arm around him, squeezes him tight, and laughs while he shivers. The scene fades out.
 
Wednesday: Green Bay

A packed house is seen at a local WZCW house show. A very exciting buzz is in the air, as the crowd are yet to find out what their Main Event will be. Slowly the crowd begin to clap, getting louder by the second. The people sense something is coming, with little to no action for the last five minutes. Then the arena goes black, with the people begin to cheer. A spotlight is on the entrance ramp, with each and every one looking. Nobody is taking their eyes off the stage, the children wanting it to be on of their hero’s. The males wanting it to be a major heel, while the females want it to be anyone with a nice body. The screen lights up with the finishing moments of last week’s Mayhem Championship fatal four way. With the final image being Christopher Jones holding the Mayhem Championship above his head. Slowly the lights begin to return to normal, as the crowd settle back down. Then the speakers blast a new tune.

“My Block”

Playing Tupac’s famous song in the background, and his new theme music, Justin Cooper appears. This time not wearing one of his fine suits, but a pair of cut-off jeans, and a hooded jumper. He looks like a thug, could this fine man have been pulled to the wrong side of the tracks? With a steel chain wrapped around his right hand and knuckles, Cooper slowly and with a type of swagger, walks to the ring. Many of the fans don’t understand what is going on, as they have never seen Cooper look like a thug. Before entering the ring, Cooper grabs a steel chair from under the ring and a microphone from a crew member.

With the chair in hand, Cooper enters the ring, placing the chair in the middle. He takes a seat, keeping his eyes on the crowd here tonight. They give him little heat, as Cooper brings the hood over his head. A smirk comes across the face of Cooper, which is only just visible to the camera. With the chain still wrapped around his right hand, Cooper lifts the microphone in his left. Bringing it up until it touches his soft lips.

(Soft tone of voice) Well I didn’t plan on spending my Wednesday here.

A small amount of heat from the crowd, not much but it can be heard.

You people booed that, really? I guess sheep respond to anything you do. I could grab something from the audience, beat them up, and you people would cheer. Because you people love violence, but when somebody wants to sit here and talk. Oh no, run for the hills, we can’t have a simple conversation. I guess I should have known, we are in Green Bay.

More heat, this time however it is louder, not by much, but it is louder.

I said something bad about Green Bay, big whoop. Get over it, this place sucks. When was the last time this place produced something good? The only thing to come out of Green Bay which was successful was, oh wait, the packers loser more times than Alex Bowen.

The crowd boo once again; this time is the loudest so far, insulting a sporting team is a big no, no.

Hey, don’t blame me, just because I heard they were the Green Bay slackers. Maybe someone should get them a map, because they are always lost. It might even help them find the end zone!

The crowd are booing very loud now; Justin has pushed the buttons on this crowd.

OK, I have better things to do than insult your lacklustre team all night. I’ll now begin to insult Alex Bowen. So after last week, in the fatal four way match where you were dominated by everyone, you get another shot? Could someone explain that to me, because I thought a title match was a reward?

Not to give someone who hasn’t won a match in something like two years a spot on the card. Bowen is nothing more than a veteran who thinks because he has been in the business for over ten years; he deserves to be a Champion. Listen Alex, I beat you, how in the blue hell do you think you have a chance of winning?

I have your number, and I just got some credit, so this week I’m going to call it. I promise that this week, I’ll give you that history making moment. I’ll give you a place in history, you will be known for something other than losing here in WZCW.


Slowly Cooper leans forward, with his hair wet, and water dripping down his face.

You make history by being in the match, in which Justin Cooper gained his first Championship. After I pin Chris Jones, your name will forever be written after the word “defeated”. As I take my place as Champion, you will fall down to the abyss, where you belong. Once again you will be forgotten, left out to dry, with nobody caring what happens to you.

You claim to be hardcore; well this match isn’t just about using weapons. It’s about timing, gaining the advantage when needed. You could never understand that, you just like these people, will never understand.

The world we live in doesn’t move for us, we must move for it. And while you Alexander stand up for the veterans, who never made it. I stand up for my society, a better society, one which doesn’t include you or Chris Jones.

However it does include one thing that both of you strive for. The Mayhem Championship, yes it doesn’t make sense that I want Mayhem in my society.

While still looking at the camera, Justin lifts his fist up, with the steel chain wrapped around it.

The Mayhem Championship stands for the anarchy that this world has. Yet by having it, we gain more supporters, more people who wish to come forth, to join the cause. It’s like when trying to catch a mouse, what do you use?

You use the one thing it wants, cheese. By using this, they are draw to your trap, one which holds them to your mercy. Once I gain the Mayhem Championship, you people will fall in line, wishing to join me. You will finally see that I’m better than you. That I hold the key, not Chris Jones, but I.

He stands up, with the chain now hanging for his grip.

Chris Jones is nothing more than a false prophet. He wants to draw you in, causing you more harm than good. You must come to see, that he, doesn’t know what is best for you. I on the other hand, I do. While Chris Jones claims to be helping you, he is dragging you down. This man wants to bring society down to his level.

As if it wasn’t bad enough, he wishes to grab you by the leg, and pull you down to the bottom less pit. By dragging you people down, he makes himself look better. It will not stop until he has everyone down to his level, which will then causes he to rise above, gaining power over all of you.

The chain which was held in the right hand of Cooper is dropped. He points at it, with his eyes focused on the mat.

The only other way to stop him is by me beating him this week. By taking his Mayhem Championship, I take his reason to live. It is this that gives him the hope, that he can persuade you, to believe in him. When I take this away, he will crumble like the rest, his heart is break into a million pieces.

I stand here, looking like a thug. You people would treat me as one of your own. If I wore a suit, it becomes totally different. I’m treated as an outsider, someone who has a disease. Yet when I wear this, these jeans, and this jumper. I’m cool, I’m seen as a peer to all of you. Well I say, you can all go to hell!

With the crowd booing, Cooper takes off the jumper, showing his bare upper body. He picks his chain up, putting it around his neck.

If dressing like this, is what it takes to get you people to like me. Well unlike the rest of that locker room, I’m not willing to do it. When I look back at my career, I will know I never sold out to you. Unlike Ferbian, who hides under a hood, unlike Beaz who hides behind a mask. They sold out, but hiding from you. They don’t show their true self. I do, every single week, I stand for myself, for the better society. From the start to the end, I have never hid anything from you people. I am real, I don’t need some fake gimmick.

I just come out here every week, and I win matches. This week, will be no different. Just watch, tune in this week. See how I become the new Mayhem Champion, and make history. Now that is something you can bet on.

“My Block”

Once again we here “My Block” playing the background, as Justin Cooper exits the ring. With only days until his Mayhem Title match, the excitement is nowhere to be seen on his face. As he makes his way up the ramp, Cooper yells out.

Who’s going to save the Saviour?

After this Cooper makes his way backstage, as the camera goes off.
 
*camera cuts to the backstage locker room, with Chris Jones sitting on a bench. The only light in the room being the glow coming off of the camera, which Jones is staring into, Mayhem Title on his lap*

Jones: So, imagine my unending shock when, after I win a Fatal Four-Way to retain my Mayhem Title on Ascension, I'm told that I have to do it again on Meltdown, only minus Ferbian. As though me winning in the first place wasn't good enough, no, I need to give these two scrubs another chance.

*Jones sighs, shaking his head*

Jones: The things a champion needs to do. Rather than give a title shot to someone who might actually deserve it, I need to let some other guys who I already beat. In fact, I'm pretty sure I made one of them submit in the last match. One of them, I can't remember which. And yet, they somehow get another title shot. I just can't wrap my head around it.

*Jones glares into the camera*

Jones: Bowen, Cooper, let me reveal a little wrestling truth that you two haven't learned yet: you're only as good as your last match. In your last match, you both lost. To me. And yet, you're facing me again, with one less person for me to worry about. What exactly makes you think this time will be any different? Is it optimism? Denial? Sheer stupidity? Whatever the case, it's a sign of how foolish the people in this company can be, inside the ring and out of it. After all, only a fool would give a title shot to someone who just lost his last one.

*Jones sighs wistfully*

Jones: But I suppose I can't blame you two entirely. After all, you're both still new to this company. Doesn't seem that long ago when I was just starting out here. I haven't had the best win record, but little by little, my message has reached the people, and will continue to do so. But, like all rookies, I made a few mistakes in my time.

*Jones holds up the Mayhem Title, staring at it*

Jones: For example, I once said that the Mayhem Division should be destroyed. That it was nothing more than a bunch of barbarians trying to kill one another for the enjoyment of sick, twisted individuals that call themselves "wrestling fans". But, I soon came to realize that the Mayhem Division needs to exist. Its purpose is to weed out the weak, the ones that don't deserve to be part of WZCW. If you survive Mayhem, you may be able to make your mark elsewhere. If not, you'll just disappear, and no one will remember your name.

*Jones looks back at the camera, grinning*

Jones: The only problem with that is, well...I'm a bit more strict than previous champions. I'm not about to let unworthy folk further into the company, and that includes you two. So by all means, try to win this week. Bring your bad raps, your psychotic attitudes. Hell, join forces and form a bad ICP ripoff. Frankly, I don't care, because the result will be the same: you two on the floor, writhing in pain, and me, still Mayhem Champion.

*Jones gets to his feet, holding the Mayhem Title up*

Jones: The future is unknown. The past is history. All that matters is the moment. And there will be many memorable moments come Meltdown. Mostly of me inflicting heinous amounts of agony and torture onto the both of you. And if neither of you win, don't worry. It just means that you were never meant to go any further. Take comfort in the fact that it was simply what was best for you. Trust me, I would know. Because I am your Savior.

*Jones walks out of the frame as the camera goes to static*
