6CW Anarchy Friday 23rd January 2015

Wembley Arena is filled with cheering 6CW fans as the camera pans round to show the Lloyd brothers on commentary. Both of them look quite solemn as Harold begins to speak.

HA: Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a lot of talk on social media about the aftermath of the JJ Johnson and Anthony Grace versus Vincent Costello and Jax Cutler match. I am sure you are all aware that there was a part in that match where one of our fans were targeted by Jax Cutler.

HE: Unfortunately, those who are not fully aware of the wrestling business have responded very negatively about it. There have been calls for 6CW to be sanctioned and Cutler to be fined for attacking an innocent member of the audience. To make matters worse, that fan actually decided to go to the newspapers and complain about that moment. It has been reported that he has become mentally strained and will not be attending any 6CW events again.

HA: Now I am sure you all watching at home know that 6CW is a finely run organisation complete with highly trained individuals plying their trade. 6CW also greatly respects its fans and their safety is paramount. Obviously, the actions of one individual should not taint the rest of the organisation and we have been assured that, away from the storylines and razzmatazz of this business, Jax Cutler will be dealt with.

HE: With more information on this news story, we take you backstage to Christy James.

The arena screen comes on and shows Christy James smiling in one of the backstage corridors.

CJ: Guys, the aftermath of the New Year’s show has spiked the attention of wrestling fans and non-wrestling individuals. The moment has been going wild on social media for some time and has been used as a way to attack the wrestling business as a whole as being “unsafe” and “worthless entertainment”. However, I bring good news for all those hardcore 6CW fans.

She lifts up a copy of the Sun newspaper complete with the headline “Saving Grace”, before continuing.

CJ: This is what todays Sun newspaper looks like. It has been confirmed that Anthony Grace has met the fan that was, as some are saying, “assaulted” by Jax Cutler. We believe he spent a good few hours with that person, making his case and supporting not only 6CW but also Cutler himself. As covered exclusively by the newspaper, Grace has also written a heartfelt article which details how wrestling and 6CW is good for society and how this event should not impact on the work it does.

Christy drops the newspaper down and smiles.

CJ: And it appears to have done the trick! Social media has responded positively to the remarks by Grace and by the hierarchy at 6CW. It seems that this has been taken as a small lapse in judgement and 6CW should not be penalised for it. I have also spoken to the fan on the telephone and he has said that Grace has asked him to come back and watch next week’s show as a VIP. He will be taken backstage and will meet the talent, before being taken for dinner at the London Eye which Grace has personally hired at his own expense. As a damage limitation PR exercise, it seems Anthony Grace has pulled out all the stops and it appears to have worked. Backstage, a lot of guys here have breathed a sigh of relief. It really was touch and go if a big lawsuit was heading 6CW’s way. As it stands, it appears 6CW is over the worse and they can thank one Anthony Grace for that.

The arena screen goes black and the camera pans round to the Lloyd brothers again. They both look relieved and Harold starts to speak.

HA: That is big news…..

HE: And welcome news at that!

HA: No doubt! I cannot emphasise again how much 6CW cares about its fans. This was an unfortunate blip on a long running show with not a problem to its name. I hope the folks at home keep watching and this loud and positive audience keep buying tickets. 6CW certainly wouldn’t be where it is now without them.

Suddenly “Amazing Grace” sounds out around the arena and the fans cheer loudly.

HA: And here he is……fresh from his show saving exercise……Anthony “Amazing” Grace!

As the music plays, Anthony Grace comes out onto the stage. The 6CW International belt is around his waist and he carries his jacket over his shoulder. He appears to be slightly dishevelled, with stubble around his chin and red eyes. However, he still beams a large smile around the arena as he starts to walk down the aisle.

HA: Grace can be forgiven for looking a little worse for wear. As well as having many media interviews to deal with after the incident at the New Year Spectacular, he also attended the Global Globes ceremony back in his homeland. These past few days must have been bedlam for him!

Grace greets some of the fans by the aisle and signs autographs. He takes his time, shaking a good many of the COG’s by the hand. He at last makes his way to the ring. Grace climbs the steel steps and waves to the fans, before entering through the ropes. The music starts to die down as the fans continue cheering. Grace feels his cheek and notices he is without his usual microphone. He rolls his eyes and calls for one to be thrown to him. With the microphone in Grace’s hand, the crowd quieten down as they wait for what he has to say.

AG: It is good to be amongst my FRIENDS!

The crowd pop at this and Grace laughs.

AG: You have to forgive my appearance. It feels as if I haven’t stopped since the last show. What a show it was eh guys?!

Again the fans react positively and Grace nods.

AG: Yes, this is what I want you to REMEMBER. The last show was a great way to kick off 2015 here in 6CW. The TALENT that was on display, guys that gave their ALL for you, was unparalleled in sports entertainment. There were moments in that show that were jaw dropping and INTENSE. Moments you would chat about on your journeys home and talk about the next day. In this very ring, we saw some of the best wrestling PERFORMANCES I have witnessed since I became a part of this great family. It truly was a New Year SPECTACULAR!

Grace holds his arms out wide as the fans display their appreciation for the show. Grace then starts to pace the ring slowly with his head bowed.

AG: Of course, there were certain occurrences that would be wrong to overlook. Namely when Mr. Cutler laid his hands on one of our brother COG’s.

The crowd start booing loudly and Grace has to shout over the noise.

AG: My friends, the actions of ONE should not undo the good work of the MANY! Yes, it is clear that Mr. Cutler has caused some degree of turmoil since the incident. But I BELIEVE it was a regretful moment where he simply had a rush of blood to the head. A MOMENT of MADNESS if you will. Now, while I cannot force you to change your opinions of Mr. Cutler, I do hope you will listen to what I have to say.

He takes a deep breath and looks to the heavens for guidance. Grace coughs and starts to speak again.

AG: We ALL make mistakes. We would not be humans on God’s Earth if that wasn’t the case. Perfection is but a dream when it comes to a life without error. While my head says I should be angry at Mr. Cutler; my HEART says something different. It tells me that a talented individual has made a bad judgement call. A moment which he can look back and learn from. It is not right for people on the OUTSIDE to be judge, jury and executioner when they have not been in contact with the man. Those unwise to the situation to JUMP on a bandwagon increasing in pace, because of hearsay and misinformation. We should not be quick to BLAME Mr. Cutler……

The fans boo again and Grace holds his hands out for calm.

AG: Please…..please….hear me out. I understand your frustration. I also realise why you are confused that I would come to the aid of Mr. Cutler. When I saw the occurrence with my own eyes, I knew in an instant I was watching a man that was LOST. Who had taken the loss of the International title badly. Who had taken it wrongly as an indication of FAILURE. That was the actions of a man who did NOT think things through. Now, I have taken it upon myself to make sure that those actions did not have a long lasting IMPACT on 6CW. Not for personal glory but to show that the COG’s are the most important thing. It allows me to compete. It allows me to excel. It allows me to BELIEVE……

Crowd: TO ACHIEVE!

Grace smiles warmly and continues.

AG: Exactly! It is for that simple reason that aiding ONE does help the MANY. It is for the GREATER GOOD. It is for the benefit of the 6CW we watch, work in and LOVE.

HA: Amen to that!

AG: So bearing this is mind, we look to our next match. A match that will prove my point. Mr. Cutler and I have a chance for more glory, namely being the new tag team champions of 6CW! This is a CHANCE where we can both leave the PAST behind and look forward to the FUTURE. Mr. Cutler might not have dreamed about being tag champion with myself but it is an OPPORTUNITY he cannot overlook. He will bear witness to what the power of the COG’s can do! When all in attendance will forget about previous misdemeanours and CHEER us on! Then hopefully, if God is on our side, I can be a double champion in this business……the business that I will DEFEND until my dying breath!

Grace nods emphatically as the crowd cheer.

AG: Let us make some noise! Even if we can’t accept all the members, we should all APPLAUD the cause. A cause that will see 2015 be a great year for us all. ADVERSITY may test me, DIFFICULTIES may hinder me, and HURDLES may slow me down. But Anthony Grace will TESITFY……there is no problem that cannot be overcome with DIALOGUE, HEART and BELIEF! Because if you do indeed BELIEVE, you will ultimately ACHIEVE!

Grace holds his microphone into the air and smiles broadly. The fans are cheering loudly and those COG’s on the front row are on their feet applauding.

The 6CW arena jumps to it's feet as End Seekers by Oh, Sleeper suddenly fills the arena and the former EWF World Heavyweight Champion The Viper Liam Wood bursts out on to stage with a head of steam. Wood smiles as he reaches the aisle, high fiving members of the crowd in attendance and managing to hype them up even more. Wood takes a microphone before rolling in to the ring, removing his 6CW hoody to reveal an old school Undertaker t-shirt. Wood leans forward on to the top rope and stares directly down the lens of the hard camera.

“Joshua when people look at you they are filled with terror, they see pure evil and almost have no other option but to quit...I've been asked time and time again why I'm not one of those people and it shocks me that I even have to answer this question...you see, behind the jokes, the arrogance and the devastating good looks I am a man of reason...”

Wood raises his hand holding up three things, as he reels of the list he lowers fingers with his middle being left up as he says demons

“...No gods, no angels and no demons...”

Wood removes his middle finger as a smirk covers his face

“...Yet people look at you like a demon from hell...the monster that reigned supreme and rid us of Edward Plague...they see their nightmares personified but I'm not like them...I'm not most people...I stopped believing in things that go bump in the night...I stopped checking for monsters under my bed...I stopped being scared a long, long time ago...so what you have to offer just isn't going to work on me!”

Wood mockingly slowly wags his finger at the camera with the same smirk covering his face.

"Like I said Joshie...the people of 6CW look at you and they're ready to grab their pitch forks and banish you back to the cave where you came from but not me...I look at you and I don't see a monster...I don't see a demon and I sure as hell don't see the devil...
...I see a man who hides in the dark with pale skin, long black hair and a penchant for lashing out at anyone who comes close...I see nothing more than a man with anger issues who despite denying it plays a victim...I see a boy who carries around his little weird toys as if they are his only friends. I find it strange actually, I look at you and I see these things as clear as day yet I'm still the one they call Emo!"

Wood laughs before composing himself and continuing

"That's all you are though, you're an over sized emo kid lashing out at everyone and I'm not sure what happened to make you this way but I don't care...when you're in the ring with me it's not a chance at therapy and the only thing I'll allow you to let out is your own blood...no...I couldn't care less about what happened to you in the past because the future doesn't look too bright for you either...so save up that angst because I am not here to listen to your issues, I am not here to be a shoulder to cry on and if you're feeling religious I'd wait to pray because the moment you drop to your knee's I'll be waiting to kick the head from your shoulders."

Wood pauses for a moment with a smile on his face, he looks down for a moment and shakes his head almost in disbelief before looking back down the camera

"I find it funny actually, when people think about our match they are going to take away the image of you putting me through the announce table and they'll see it as a sign of your power advantage over me, they'll see it as a sign that you have no interest in winning and you just wanted to hurt me...so well done..."

Wood places the mic under his arm and sarcastically begins to slow clap Joshua before continuing to talk

HE: Now I'm not an expert but mocking Joshua doesn't really seem like smart.

HA: I agree Brother, I'm a fan of Liam but this isn't exactly his best idea.

“...You tricked everyone in to believing that your actions were anything more than an act of desperation...you see, you could feel the tables turning, you could feel that I was gaining control...you realised that I was BULLETPROOF and nothing you could do would be able to stop me so you cut our match short! Joshua, you promised me pain, you promised me more pain than I could ever take yet you cut it short when you realise that when I said I'd find your breaking point first I wasn't bluffing? That's poor form...”

Wood shakes his head before moving away from the ropes and pacing around the ring.

“...but that's enough of talking about little old Joshie...next week at Anarchy I'm having a reunion of sorts when I go face to face with a man who I haven't seen in a while...Tyler Roth!”

The crowd boo causing Wood to smile, Wood pauses letting a “ROTH SUCKS” chant to build up. While the chant builds up Wood walks over to the turnbuckle and props himself up on it before speaking.

“It's nice to see that people can actually remember Roth!”

The crowd burst in to laughter before Wood begins to speak.

“For those of you that may not know, Mr Roth and I have a long history due to the fact that he's one of the “men” who hid behind the mask of FEAR and tried to destroy EWF....Tyler is the one who probably should have spent more time in the library than he did in the gym...Tyler is also one of the men who failed in stopping me to become EWF World Heavyweight Champion.”

Wood pauses for a moment as a smile covers his face.

“You see for months FEAR divided us and they almost conquered, they tried to pick us apart one by one but the problem for them was that guys like me, Jimmy Phillips, Robin Reborn...Thunder...we weren't going to back down and we weren't going to lose! We beat FEAR and I intend to carry on that tradition when me and Roth meet again...”

“...Tyler, if you're listening I hope you don't mind if we forego the handshakes and the small talk...I'd like to start this reunion the only way we know how by punching you in the jaw and reminding you just why you couldn't beat EWF.”

Wood lowers the microphone as the fans begin to chant his name louder and louder.

With the fans still chanting Wood's name, the arena lights suddenly go out and a shrill scream sounds out across the arena. The arena screen starts to come on and eerily shows Joshua standing in a darkened room. McCoy is sitting at his feet and Joshua has his head bowed. He slowly lifts his hand up to the camera and clicks his fingers. The screen then changes to show the last few moments of the Joshua versus Wood match last week:

Joshua suddenly bends down and grips Wood by the throat. He easily rags him up to his feet and despite the pleas from the crowd and the referee he dead lifts Wood up into the air…..CRASH!

HA: Dear lord….

HE: Liam Wood’s worst nightmare has become a reality….

Joshua chokeslams Liam Wood straight through the announcer table, leaving him completely unconscious. Wood’s body convulses a few times and then stops as Joshua just continues to look down at him, no emotion visible…

The screen goes back to show Joshua still in a darkened room but now closer to the camera. Wood is watching intently in the ring as Joshua again lifts up his hand and clicks his fingers. The same scene plays out again but this time slower than previously:

Joshua suddenly bends down and grips Wood by the throat. He easily rags him up to his feet and despite the pleas from the crowd and the referee he dead lifts Wood up into the air…..CRASH!

HA: Dear lord….

HE: Liam Wood’s worst nightmare has become a reality….

Joshua chokeslams Liam Wood straight through the announcer table, leaving him completely unconscious. Wood’s body convulses a few times and then stops as Joshua just continues to look down at him, no emotion visible…

Once again, the screen goes back to Joshua who now has his head very near to the camera. We can just make out the scars beneath his hair, even with his head bowed. Very deliberately, Joshua raises his head and stares out through the screen. The crowd grow very nervous as Joshua lifts his hand up in front of his face and clicks his fingers a third time. Once again, the screen shows the same scene being played out again but this time at a very slow pace. We can make out Wood's face of pain as his back collides with the announcers table, before he lays there unmoving after a few shakes.

Joshua suddenly bends down and grips Wood by the throat. He easily rags him up to his feet and despite the pleas from the crowd and the referee he dead lifts Wood up into the air…..CRASH!

HA: Dear lord….

HE: Liam Wood’s worst nightmare has become a reality….

Joshua chokeslams Liam Wood straight through the announcer table, leaving him completely unconscious. Wood’s body convulses a few times and then stops as Joshua just continues to look down at him, no emotion visible…

The screen goes back to darkened room and we now see Joshua has gone. All that is visible is McCoy sitting on the floor with a sick grin on his face. Slowly the house lights go up and the fans shout out in terror. Joshua is now standing behind Wood with The Vipers microphone in his hands. Wood turns round and prepares for a fight, but Joshua merely stands by the ropes and shakes his head. He then carefully brings the microphone to his lips:

You treat me........with utter contempt........even when you see the first few bars played before you........of your own personal symphony of pain........?

Wood says nothing and Joshua continues quickly:

You stand there and disregard the pain........You stand there and disregard the agony........You stand there........and disregard me........?!

Joshua walks up to Wood and towers over him. He looks at the pitiful sight before his eyes and stares straight through him.

I was right........You represent everything that needs to feel........what only I can give........From a false smile that hides........inner turmoil........to a sickening attitude of positivity........that flies in the face of what you now have to deal with........An air of defiance to an act you believe........is desperation........?!

Joshua bends down and whispers in Wood’s ear:

I am not desperate to end you........For to make a case for the finish........requires more torturous examples........

Joshua moves his head back slowly and the fixes his eyes back on Wood’s. Then, Joshua’s eyes dart down to the Undertaker t-shirt. He looks back up at Wood and sighs deeply:

Is that an example of a demon........you believe in? ........False monsters........wrapped up in images that should scare........A deathly look........Clothes of black........An unhuman appearance........Are these the monsters........that you choose not to fear?........

Wood nods and mouths the words “I don’t fear you”. Joshua cocks his head to one side and replies slowly:

Do not fear the man........Fear what the man can do........

Joshua cocks his head to the other side and slowly brings his hand up. He clicks his fingers in front of Wood’s face, causing him to blink. Joshua lowers his hand afterwards and stares daggers at Wood:

Remember........?

Joshua holds his stare before backing away slightly and speaking:

You are right........monsters do not exist........but monstrous deeds happen all the time........And that is something I have........in abundance........Deeds to fulfil........and time to complete them........You think I promised you more pain........than you could possibly imagine? ........You are right again........But you are foolish to think........all that pain would come........in one meeting between us........Why are you so quick........for the final chorus? ........Why are you so certain........that all the questions........have been answered? ........To put a full stop........when I have just started........is both futile........and optimistic........And I will not stop........just because your body may have recovered........from one gathering between us........

Joshua backs away to the corner and slumps against it. He starts to breath heavily as if irritated but he keeps his head bowed so that his hair bellows out:

You choose to humour........You choose to grin........You choose to ignore........You choose to forget........You choose to be Liam Wood........And that is decisions you make blindly........Don’t protest when the choices........are out of your hands........and you feel the consequences........Talk and deceive........for it only adds more torturous hours........to the sentence you are guilty of........

The lights suddenly go down low and Joshua can just be made out:

Foolish boy........praying that the end is nigh........Death is something you will savour........but I will chose to bury you........as many times as I so wish........

Suddenly the lights go out and the crowd cry out shocked. When the lights come back on, Wood is alone in the ring. He looks around frantically to see where Joshua has gone, before looking sheepishly at the crowd.

The lights in the arena begin to flash as the sound of ‘Up the Bracket’ by The Libertines thunders out around Wembley… A spot light begins to search the crowd looking for the emerging Terrance Kray…

HE: I don’t get this guy, why can’t he use the ramp like everybody else?

HA: Terry Kray is a man of the people, born and bred just a stone’s throw from Wembley, just listen to that noise, these people love Terrance Kray!

Kray appears in the north side section of the arena and begins to make his way down to the floor, he’s shaking hands and taking selfies with the fans as he does so!

HE: Come on, we haven’t got all night, we go off air in two hours!

El-Tel jumps the fan barricade and collects a microphone from the timekeeper before entering the ring under the bottom rope…

Kray: Listen up people, I wanna hear you make some noise… come on lets AVE-IT…. make some NOISE!!!

The crowd begin to go wild, shouting and cheering from all sections of the arena!

That’s what I’m talking about!

Now is anybody here tonight from London????!!!!!!

CROWD POP!!!!!!!!

You see my pedigree chums… ever since I can remember… you get told; don’t make too much noise, don’t speak up, don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t question the rules… but you know what? Rules are there to be questioned and more often than not… broken!

And that is what the Cockney Crusade is all about… it’s about standing up for what you believe in, it’s about making a racket and not accepting your lot in life, to strive for something more something better! People can hold you down, but when the crusade rises up together… aint nothing gonna stop us!

You see its people like you (Terry points to the crowd) and me… real people, hardworking, honest people that get sh%ted on constantly by all those w@nke$$ out there who think their better than us… but I’ve got news for all those w@nke$$... people like Simon Cagero, and Daniel Reilly you can kiss my khyber coz whilst there’s people like Buck Riggins and Terry Kray here in 6CW you aint got a pot to jimmy in…

And tonight me and my favourite septic tank are teaming up as partners… for the first time ever we’ll stand together inside this very ring against two geezers who deserve to be respected… Enforcer (Crowd Pop) and DeMarcus Brown (Crowd Pop again)… that’s right… you’re right to show these two blokes some love… But let me tell you now, just because I respect everything they have accomplished doesn’t mean I don’t have two fingers for them right now!!!! (Kray gestures towards the ramp way, the camera then focuses on a young fan no more than 11 or 12 copying the gesture).

HE: Just look at that… this is the kind of behaviour Kray insights… just disgusting!

Now Mr. Enforcer, Mr. Brown… you load it all up tonight, you bring everything you have because you’re looking at the hungriest man in 6CW your looking at a stand up geezer who is so hungry for success here in 6CW, so hungry for everything you have… my stomach thinks my throats been cut! I know my partner feels exactly the same way, I can see it in Bucks mince pies…he has the eye of tiger… he has the desire and together here tonight we are gonna prove that the new breed of 6CW superstars are the future of this place!

So stick your hand in your sky rocket and pull out whatever you have in there… be it a quid or a Godiva and put it on EL-Tel and Big Buck Riggins to bring home the bacon tonight…. LETS AVE-IT Wembley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kray then begins to lead the entire arena in a chant of Wembley… Wembley…. Wembley
