A video comes on screen portraying classic moments in wrestling, from Sammartino to Hogan, from Hart to Michaels, and the very early years of professional wrestling. The video fades to black, as the words, 40 years in the making appear
out of nowhere, a giant WZCW logo appears, as the video is cut to static after a while. A countdown begins, before the video cuts back to the Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nevada, where an explosion of fireworks rocks the arena! The crowd goes wild as the red and black fireworks continue, as Paralyzer by Finger Eleven rocks over the loudspeakers.
Sebastian Copeland: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome once again, to WZCW Meltdown!
Jack the Enforcement Cohen: Its been too long since last time Cope, Ive been dying all day for the Seventh installment of Meltdown
Copeland: And it looks like the fans in Reno Nevada cant wait either. I think its safe to say we made an impact last week on wrestling fans around the world, judging by these fans Force!
Cohen: It is absolutely unbelievable! We are damn sure the best thing that has ever come to Reno, and I think all these fans know it as well. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you for some ungodly reason werent around to witness last weeks, THIS is WrestleZone Championship Wrestling!
Copeland: And now, get ready, buckle up because youre about to be taken for one hell of a ride tonight!
Pyro explodes from each corner of the ring, as the camera pans out to focus on the entire ring which has two leather mini couches, two spot lights on each far end of the couches & an L.C.D. H.D. 27in. monitor between the two couches. All of this is on a stylish rug that covers the whole ring, the rug itself is black, with a Silver star, in the middle & a Neon Blue "1" in the middle of the star. The ring announcer addresses the audience.. "Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome W.Z.C.W.'s newest superstar.. "The One" Big Will..."
Copeland: I wonder what Will is doing out here Cohen
Cohen: Well he not here to sell cookies Copeland!
"Famous" by Puddle of Mudd erupts over the audio system, as the fans rise to their feet awaiting Big Will to walk out through the curtain. Out from the curtain walks a man with confidence on his face, & a cocky type of smirk. He's dressed in faded jeans, with an 'affliction' greyish colored shirt, half way tucked into his jeans. He's wearing a sports coat, also greyish with lightly shaded sunglasses on & a microphone in his hand. Big Will walks down the ramp, completely ignoring the fans with their hands out, as he walks up the steps & enters the ring.
(Big Will)- "Wow.. would you look at all this?! Check out this couch.." Big Will sits on the couch, only to quickly get up & walk to the spotlight at the end of the couch. "Look at this spotlight.. this is top of the line, high priced stuff!" Big Will stops, as his attention turns to the L.C.D. HDTV monitor "But this.. this is the crowning jewel." Big Will pauses for a moment, just to take in his surroundings.. then continues to address the crowd.
(Big Will)- "Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to the first official edition of 'The One' Big Will's "15 Minutes of Fame." Now, before I go any further.. allow me the pleasure of introducing myself properly, to not only everyone in the crowd.. but to all the boys in the back. I am, 'The One' Big Will, I am W.Z.C.W.'s newest wrestler, & believe me when I say this.. Not only am I the newest, highest paid superstar on the roster today.. but, I'm also going to be the best host a wrestling company has ever had. You see, here on '15 Minutes of Fame' we're gonna get to the bottom of the hottest subjects in W.Z.C.W. We're gonna crack the questions that noone has answers to, we're gonna ask the tough questions, that noone has the guts to ask. So lets waste no more time & get to our first huge topic of discussion.. so whoevers in the truck, play the footage up on the 'Fame-Maker 5000!'"
The camera puts focus on the 27in. L.C.D. HDTV monitor, as it also plays to the crowd. The footage is from Meltdown, last week, with the highlights of the Elite X Championship Tournament. El Guerrero, Mohammad Hasheem, Gus & Big Will are all shown in the updated brackets, set to take place later tonight.
(Big Will)- "Thats right Ladies & Gentlemen, yours truly has advanced to the Finals of the tournament, & tonight, after I handle my lightwork, I'll be moving on to this Sunday, 'Civil Revolution,' & making history by becoming the First Ever.. Elite X Champion! But dispite in normal circumstances that being the headline of the year, it wasn't the biggest moment from last week. Play the footage, monkeys!" The camera once again places its focus on the 'Fame-Maker 5000' as it plays more footage from last week's Meltdown, this time the Main Event, with Big Will helping the Champion.. & Titus shocking the world by turning on Everest! "Now I told you I'd address the tough questions, the serious situations, the hottest subjects, so without further ado.. I give you Titus!"
Titus' music erupts over the sound system, as the fans begin to boo wildly. Yellow search lights focus on the entrance, at the top of the ramp. They flicker on & off, as Titus walks out through the curtain to a huge eruption of boos from the crowd. Titus holds his Oscar up in the air, only to pull it down & wave off at the fans. Titus makes his way down to the ring, as several fans at ringside begin tossing stuff at him. Titus stops, only to point & have one fan thrown out for his actions. Titus steps up the stairs, climbs in the ring, & stands face to face with a smirk, looking at Big Will.
(Big Will)- "Titus, the world wants to know, why'd you do it? Why'd you turn on your long-time friend, & 'good buddy' (said with sarcasum, as the fans continue to boo) Everest? Please, indulge these morons & enlighten them as to why you opened your eyes." Big Will hands the microphone to Titus, who begins to speak.
(Titus)- "Why'd I do it? Why, Titus, Why? Thats all I've heard for the past week. Well to be completely honest, I don't feel as if I should have to explain my actions to any of you people. But I will, because thats the stand up guy I am. You see, I had without a doubt, the feud of the year with Mohammad Hasheem, but did people take me seriously? No, the didn't. All they did was say how much they wished me luck, how much they hoped that the 'actor' didn't get hurt." (pauses for a moment) "Thats the key word, isn't it. 'Actor'.. the big movie star 'actor' wants to play Pro Wrestler. Noone ever said 'Wow, this guy can go, he's for real.' Noone ever looked at that side of the script. So you know what, I went out there last week, & I showed the world just what I thought of their opinion.. & I did it to the guy who disrespected me the most. My so-called 'best friend' Everest." (pauses as the crowd boos) "Boo all you want, you ungrateful pieces of shit. Everest, And I promise the showing, of a lifetime!"
(Big Will)- "Well there you have it, whether you like it or not, you're all gonna have to deal with it. Now then, since this is my debut, I'm not gonna end it like that, oh no.. there's more. Ladies & Gentlemen, get up off your asses for your World Heavyweight Champion, 'The Main Event' Joseph Rios!"
"If It All Ended Tomorrow" hits the speakers and out comes Joseph "The Main Event" Rios. He pauses at the top of the stage before pointing to himself. He walks down the ramp and enters the ring through the second rope. He continues to look at the fans and occasionally says something to a booing fan, as he raises his Championship.
(Big Will)- "Champ, I have to say, its great to have you as one of my guests on my debut show. But the world wants to know, the world needs to know.. whats going on in W.Z.C.W., the world is turning upside down, Big Will helps the Champ, Titus sides with the Champ over his best friend, what.. what is going on?!" (said the entire time with a smirk & cockiness in his voice)
(Joseph Rios)- "Thats Will, nice set, love the t.v... Everyone wants to know, why did the Champion align himself with a so-called 'actor' & a rookie new comer? Well facts are facts people, & when you look at them, I didn't pick just any two losers from the bunch, I picked the two guys I felt had the most potential to be huge in this business. And following behind me, in my success, they're both sure to make it big. So lets get to the real point, & that is more importantly, why we're together, why, exactly, these two." (pauses for a moment)
(Joseph Rios)- "First, I'll start with our great host. 'The One' Big Will. You see, not much can be said about the unknown, but what I will say is this. I've seen footage of this man in his past, I've seen footage of his try-outs for W.Z.C.W. & to me, he's a mirror image. So basically I called Will up, & said 'Hey, I can see the talent you have, I can see the skills you hold, why not showcase them in the center spot light of the elite.' I told Big Will to come join the Champ, & without a moments notice, he obviously agreed. Rookie or not, this man has skills, & come Sunday, at Civil Revolution, don't be a bit surprised to see the 'new comer' walk out with history in his hands."
(Joseph Rios)- "Now, onto Titus. See, everyone overlooked the man's incredible skill in the ring. Except the Champ, because I'm not blind like the rest of you morons." (fans boo at the response) "You can hate all you want, but facts are facts. When I seen Titus in his feud, I thought to myself 'Here's a man, with raw, unmolded talent, that could be turned into a 5 star caliber Champion.' I can do that. So I gave Titus a call, I said look, you can either waste your time dealing with no nothings in the filler spots on W.Z.C.W. cards, or you can climb up into an elite group, with myself & make something of your career. Obviously, the choice isn't hard to see. ."
(With that a sharp guitar rhythm hits the speakers, as Chuck Myles makes his way out to the arena as the crowd rain on him with applause and cheers. He is grinning like a Cheshire cat, and soaks up the crowd for a while on the ramp)
Myles: I'm sorry to interupt this holy union but just like these great fans in Reno Nevada I wasn't the only one bored *Crowds pop* so I came out here to Spice things up so to say. Since you three action last week you really piss a couple of people off. You Especially piss off the Pinnacle of Perfection Everest.
*The Crowd erupts with Cheers. Then Myles takes out a piece of paper from his inside coat pocket. He unfolds it and hold it in the air.*
Myles: I bet you three are wondering what I hold in my hand. you see me and the board was upstair putting our heads together and we came up with this.
Rios: What the hell are you talking about?
Myles: I'm talking about you three being in action tonite.
Rios: You can't do that!
Myles:I can do anything I damn well. First Mr Big Will you will be in something I call the Elite X wildcard tag team match. It will be you teaming up with The Man Gus *Crowd Cheers* verus Hasheem and El G!
*As the Crowd Cheers Will Looks around Confused and walks towards the ropes Cursing at Mr Myles*
Myles: I know...I know I shouldn't have. Now on to Titus that back stabbing Son of a bitch. You will be in a match tonight. Matter of fact you finally get a shot at the bigtime. You will be in the main event, It will be you Verus the man you back stab Everest!*The crowd goes crazy.
*Titus turn to Rios talking nervously. Rios is telling Titus to calm down and turn to Myles*
Rios: You think your so smart! You thin......Myles: Hold on there champ! I still got more, you are in action too.
Rios: You can't do that. I got to train for my match at Civil Revolution.
Myles: Don't worry champ. You will be in a different type of action. You will be the special Refree for Titus match.
*The crowd boos as Rios looks at Titus with a huge smile on his face.*
Rios: That the best thing you said all day old man.Just like tonight, when Titus goes up against Everest. I might be wearing the referee's shirt, but Titus can certainly handle his own against this chump. All I have to say is, Titus, man.. save some for the Champ at Civil Revolution, because I don't wanna make it look too easy, when I walk over this punk
Myles: I got even better. If you don't call this match down the middle I will strips your ass of the title *Then Rios Jumps at the trying to get to Myles but Will and Titus holds him back.*
Myles: Now you get ready for you matches and get the hell out of my ring.
*Myles theme music blast as Myles what to the back.*
Copeland: It looks like Camp Rios are in for it tonite!
Cohen: This may be the most Explosive Meltdown we ever had Copeland
