The camera starts rolling revealing a vast open courtyard outside what looks like an abandoned warehouse. Stood proudly in front of the camera stands the man behind the Death Squad Krasimir Marinov in a dark grey suit, Krasimir fixes his black tie before a sinister smile covers his face.

In the background of the shot Castile and Varyag are shown. Varyag is repeatedly slamming a heavy sledgehammer on to a beaten up tire as Castile is performing a gruelling cardio circuit with a smile across his face. Marinov stares down the lens and a serious look cover his face as the action continues in the background.

“Ladies and gentlemen what you witnessed yesterday at Anarchy was the result of The Red Arrows coming face to face with a real team. Robin Reborn and Jack Hurst have been allowed to parade around this company and call themselves the greatest team it has to offer...some say they are the best...I say that this says more about their opponents than it does about them.”

“The Red Arrows have been put up against a host of easy targets, teams destined to fail and even won against a team of men who were ready to kill each other...through out their entire “legendary run” they haven't really been challenged...they haven't been forced to earn those belts.”

Marinov pauses

“Yesterday though...the Red Arrows were finally thrown to the lions to face a team that works with only one goal...destruction! A team that I scouted for over a year and put in the effort to find two men that are not only two of the best athletes but also two men who could work as one under MY leadership.”

“Robin Reborn and Jack Hurst have no such leadership...instead they are two failed heroes who clung to each other in the hope that it would stop them from sinking...they are the prey who believe that safety comes in numbers but at Day Of Reckoning...the predators outnumber them and they are let loose...and we plan on tearing them apart one bit at a time.”

In the background Castile is now preforming pull ups as Varyag lifts what looks like ridiculously heavy weights. Marinov looks back at his team before looking back to the camera.

“At Day Of Reckoning we get what we already deserved from the moment we walked through the doors of this company...we may have suffered a little set back but in our third match as a team we are a step away from taking the belts from the so called “champions”.”

“We are not stupid though, we understand that the Arrows are not our only focus and that the Producers however pitiful will be fighting for the titles as well. These two “men” were able to steal a win from us before but now I send a message personally to them”.

“Producers...at Day Of Reckoning you will realise that you should have stayed in the safety of your fantasy world because in two weeks time the only people who will call cut will be me and The Death Squad. You will realise just how far away you are from the special effects that make the pain look so real and what remains in it's place is real pain, real broken bones and real hatred for the men who's only goal is to drag this business through the mud.”

Once again Varyag and Castile change their routines, this time taking turns on a punching bag supporting it for the other. Castile performs agile kicks for a moment before supporting the punching bag for Varyag. Varyag steps back and launching a massive punch that sends Castile moving backwards to the amusement of Varyag.

“6CW has sold you a lie, it has grouped together the weak and done everything in it's power to market them as a 'team' but it has done nothing but create a cute brand that it can sell t-shirts with...The Death Squad is here to change everything...”

“...The Red Arrows say they revived the Tag Team division...”

“...the Death Squad is going to destroy it once again and what will rise from the ashes will be like nothing you will have ever seen...we are the end of the jokers...we are the end of the pretenders and we are the end of the Arrows.”

The scene fades to black as Varyag continues to launch devastating punches towards the leather punching bag as Castile returns to cardio circuits.

The scene opens with the familiar figure of 6CW’s Behind the Curtain interviewer Jon ‘The Don’ Donaldson… he’s sat in a director’s chair facing the camera…

Don: Good afternoon ladies & gentlemen and welcome to a special 6CW broadcast, coming to you live from Wembley Arena. Tonight I delve into the psyche of the current reigning and defending EWF heavyweight champion of the world Vincent Costello, as he prepares to go into one of the most significant contests of his career… defending the world title against none other than the franchise JJ Johnston and the Hall of Famer Jerome Dubois.

The camera pans out to reveal Vincent Costello sitting in the chair opposite Don, dressed in a smart three piece suit he has the world title placed over his shoulder

Now Vincent your career to date has been reminiscent of a wrestling fairy tale, born and raised on the unforgiving streets of Hell’s Kitchen, New York… to convicted felon… to world champion… however your ascension through the ranks has certainly been filled with controversy what do you say to all those people out there that question your credentials as world champion?

Costello: Well Don, some people have greatest thrust upon them, others pursue greatest to the ends of the earth and some sell their soul to the devil for a single solitary moment in the sun… and then you have people like me, we are a rare breed… but we are born for greatness, destined, predetermined, fated to be better… to bear the burden of greatness. For others, for those that have to sell out or work their fingers to the bone I can understand their jealousy, I can appreciate how they can grow to resent those to whom greatness is so easily afforded. Take Liam Wood for example… he spent the best part of two years desperately trying to scratch and crawl against the tidal wave that is Costello’s Law… and alas not even the self-proclaimed best in the world could stop me… so to all those that question my credentials as you put it I point them in the direction of this…

Costello taps the EWF title positioned on his shoulder

This is my credentials, this is my golden ticket to greatness , this is my retort to anybody who questions Costello’s Law

Don: You mentioned your long term rival Liam Wood, is that saga now firmly in the past?

Costello: Is my utter distain for Wood gone? No, is he now nothing but a footnote in the storied career of Costello’s Law? Yes! I have no interest in giving Liam Wood another shot, another opportunity… because he doesn’t deserve it, he’s right where he deserves to be… getting his a$$ handed to him by Joshua week in, week out! But should he ever regain the gumption to stick his head above the precipice I will take great pleasure in taking my boot to his backside for the umpteenth time.

Don: You have been champion now since July 25th when you defeated Enforcer at the 6CW event; Scars and Stripes… what has been the key to your longevity as champion?

Costello: The only way I can define it Don is… belligerence, total and complete belligerence… I am single minded, pugnacious and truculent to the end… I have no boundaries… I hear people say “You crossed the line”… like that was a bad thing! Crossing the line is what I do, it’s who I am… if you are standing in front of me, in between me and what I want, you better get the hell out of the way or be prepared to get mowed over… that’s the secret Don… that’s what makes Costello’s Law the most dominating force not only in 6CW but in professional wrestling today… Because when you fight the law the result is inevitable… you LOSE!

Don: You refer to being the most dominating champion and indeed force here in 6CW and you referenced earlier that… that title right there, that gold that glistens over your shoulder is your validation as a competitor and as a champion… so what do you say to people who refer to Max Adamson… the 6CW world champion as the true gold standard in pro wrestling, as the real world champion here in 6CW?

Costello’s eyes tighten a little, clearly perturbed by Don’s line of questioning

Costello: Max Adamson is talented there’s no doubting that, it’s just that his talents only extend to profiteering from other peoples abilities… be it; Gazzy D’s sanctimonious need to do the right thing or Michael Jones need to control the world around him… Adamson always finds a way to survive and to prosper… it’s a talent you have to admire; he spots weaknesses and exploits them… it’s a move straight out of the Costello Law playbook and for that I applaud him. But Adamson has never faced anyone like me, he hasn’t faced someone who’s not only prepared to sink lower than he can to get what he wants but also someone who can hurt him in the way I can… I will could take his life, his career and turn it inside out and upside down if I chose to.

Don: So what do you make of Max’s promise to win the Gateway to Glory match for a second consecutive year and unify the world titles?

Costello: Empty… an empty threat and an empty promise… Max; I’m begging for you to win GTG and challenge me for my title because I would love nothing more than to stand here a double world champion, gold draped over each shoulder… it’s what I was born for, it’s what I’m destined for… but I know the truth Max, you know it, Don here knows it and everyone in the back knows it… you aint nothing more than a one trick pony, a cheap excuse for a world champion and come Night of Glory if you still have your world title I will happily liberate you from it!

Don: Let’s move on the present and the matter in hand… you have arguably the biggest match of your career to date... heading into a triple threat contest with two greats… whether you believe it or not Vincent, the achievements of JJ Johnston and Jerome Dubious speak for themselves… they have seen it all and done it all… winning everything there is to win over the years. So let’s start with Dubois, what do you expect from the Hall of Famer at Day of Reckoning?

Costello: Look Don, I don’t doubt that both Johnson and Dubois are everything you say they are but what I believe is that these SOB’s are two of the luckiest punks to ever step into a wrestling ring… Lucky because they had their success in a time that Costello’s Law wasn’t around, lucky that they got to win titles because I wasn’t in the matches, lucky because while they were making a name for themselves I wasn’t here yet. Let me ask you a question Don… what have either Johnson or Dubois done since I came to the party?

The Don goes to respond but is cut off by VC
 
Exactly… nothing! I have already beaten Dubois more times than I even care to remember since his return last year and as for Johnson, well he’s had one match of note and even that was some glorified promotional stunt to increase the buy rate for Night of Glory.

But to answer your original question, Dubois I know exactly what to expect from Dubois, he’s nothing more than an opportunistic dog… a tired old mutt… that’s exhausted every trick he ever knew. When I look at Dubois now… I honestly pity the old fool, a burnt out shell of his former self with nothing left to offer than quick remark or quip… I think it’s time the friends of Jerome Dubois stopped financing pathetic home videos and started advising their friend that he should hang up his beret and take what’s left of his reputation back to France before all he is ever remembered for is getting his a$$ whipped by Costello’s Law.

Don: And what about JJ Johnson? The man that pinned you last week on Anarchy and earned his shot at your title … what kind of a threat does he pose to your reign as champion?

Costello: Well let’s be honest Don, what hope does Johnson have at Day of Reckoning… I had our match won, sown up, signed, sealed and all but delivered until Dubois showed up and got in my way… but Johnson’s inclusion at Day of Reckoning doesn’t concern me… because he poses no threat!

Don: Come on Vincent, speak your mind… don’t tell us what you think we want to hear… because according to you, you’ve got this match in the bag before it’s even started and anyone who knows anything about pro wrestling knows that JJ Johnson is one of the greatest of all time… so to dismiss him as no treat, in my opinion is unfair and untrue and quite frankly Mr. Costello I find you disrespectful!

Costello: Well Mr. Donaldson… you can find me whatever you want, because it doesn’t change the simple fact that I don’t give a rats a$$ what you think… you wanna know what I really think about JJ Johnson and the threat he poses to me??!!!

Don: Yes!

Costello: I think JJ Johnson is a man who has done many great things but is also a man that has been afforded many great opportunities, opportunities his talent doesn’t justify because when you strip back all the lights, all the hype, all the smoke and mirrors and the hullabaloo what are you left with hey? A half injured, semi-retired, used to be somebody… who only got where he got to in his career because the office strapped the rocket pack on his back and pushed him to the moon… well nobody ever gave me anything…  I was never afforded the opportunities he has, I was never even shown the rocket pack… I had to take what I wanted, I had to take the greatness that I was destined for and come Day of Reckoning I intend to take JJ Johnson and all his hyperbole and show him up for the fraud he is… because Costello’s Law is the here, the now and the tomorrow of 6CW and aint nobody gonna take what I got… especially not JJ Johnson.

You see Don… as much as JJ shouts about his desire to make it back to the big time, the truth of the matter is that his only desire is to make a quick buck, to line his pockets and retirement fund before that broken back of his is completely shot… Johnson just doesn’t have IT anymore… he doesn’t have what it takes… I can see the frustration in his eyes, the anger that is bubbling away under the surface, the pain and irritation that he just isn’t the JJ of old and I know it kills him! So in some desperate attempt to cling on to what he used to be, he makes a beeline for me, for Costello’s Law and for my world title… well you keep lying to yourself JJ, you keep lying to Magnuson and all those idiots that feed that ego of yours because I’ve decided that I’m gonna end your career at Day of Reckoning, I’m gonna take you out to behind the woodshed and put an end to this charade… I will give you mercy JJ, I will give you the end you so longingly desire, I will help you find peace… because I know you just want it all to be over… and Costello’s Law will happily oblige!

Don: Ok Vincent thank you for your time, it’s certainly been interesting to hear your thoughts and I for one cannot wait for Day of Reckoning… so make sure you tune in folks, make sure you have pre ordered DOR and if you haven’t… get it planned in on your digital recording box now because believe me you are not going to want to miss this historic event… I’ve been Jon ‘The Don’ Donaldson and thanks for watching.

The 6CW Arena goes crazy as “End Seekers” by Oh, Sleeper begins to blast through the air and the Viper Liam Wood slowly makes his way out on to the stage. Wood pauses for a moment adjusting his “Bullet Proof” t-shirt before making his way down towards the ring. On the way Wood keeps his eyes locked on the ring, taking a mic before rolling under the bottom rope.

(Hours before the PPV)

*The fans gathered in the Phones4U Arena for the Day of Reckoning Pre-Show are making one heck of a noise. The cameras pan around the boisterous audience and then they come to stop at the front of the giant stage. There is a countdown currently clocked on the big screen…

“5…
4…
3…
2…
……..1”

*The timer reaches zero and the lights go out. There are screams and cheers from the crowd and then a roar as a familiar electric blue spotlight begins to whirl around the arena. It comes to a halt at the entranceway before “Remember the name” booms out to an earth-shattering ovation.

HA: Ladies and gentlemen we are just hours away from 6CW Day of Reckoning and incase you weren’t excited already about the show we have in store for you I think that is all about to change…

HE: I can barely hear myself think right now…

HA: Here comes one of the challengers for the EWF World Heavyweight Championship….JJ Johnson is in the house and boy are these fans happy to see him…

*JJ Johnson bounces out through the curtain with a huge smile on his face. He is wearing an LA Lakers basketball jersey and black cargo trousers with white trainers. He pounds his chest as he walks from one side of the stage to the other, soaking up to the atmosphere.

HA: It’s been one hell of a journey for JJ Johnson….in 2012 he believed his career was over, bowing out as the Undisputed 6WF Champion….but after life-threatening surgery and vigorous rehab he found himself back in a wrestling ring….he has had to battle so many critics and so many injuries but here he is, just hours away from his first tilt at a world championship in twenty six months…

HE: I admire JJ and respect him for being able to come back from that kind of adversity….and I know he has proven himself once again here in 6CW, he is one of the best ever….but this is a step too far for even him. Vincent Costello is the most dominant champion in the world today and he will destroy what is left of the great JJ Johnson if he has to…

*JJ moonwalks down the ramp and then begins to swagger around the ringside area, interacting with his fans and tagging hands. He leaps up onto the apron and climbs through the ropes before heading to all four corners in turn, posing for his adoring masses.

HA: Two weeks ago, JJ Johnson became the first man to pin Vincent Costello in one on one action in a very long time…like it or not, this icon has made himself a very legitimate threat to the EWF Championship reign of Costello and one that the current champion should be taking very seriously…

*JJ smiles as he gazes around the arena and then he leaps down to the mat and begins to circle the ring.

Crowd: JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ!

HE: These people love JJ Johnson but I am afraid they are going to be very disappointed later tonight when he comes up short…

*JJ stands for a few moments, just breathing in the reception he is being afforded. He takes a microphone from the ring announcer and twirls it in his hands.

JJ: Three hours….three hours from now in this very ring you are going to witness a matchup for the EWF World Heavyweight Championship…

A match between the reigning and defending champion, Vincent Costello…

*The crowd boo furiously

JJ: The yellow-bellied French slimeball, Jerome Dubois…

*More boos from the audience

JJ: And of course, yours truly….The Franchise Initiative, Triple J….JJ Johnson!

*Huge pop

JJ: Now for the last two weeks I’ve had a plethora of conversations, conversations with very different people with very different opinions and ideas on exactly how it is going down tonight….on what is going to happen….about who is walking out of Manchester as the EWF World Champion…

Crowd: JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ!

JJ: Now I understand and I respect the fact that this match got everybody divided….you got a world champion who has spent the last seven and a half months tearing through every obstacle and challenge that stood in his way…a man so hell-bent on achieving and maintaining his success that he will do whatever it takes in order to make it happen….Vincent Costello is a dangerous son of a gun, a talented one at that and I have no doubt in my mind that he presents a very serious threat to any great in this business, past, present or future…

Then you got Jerome Dubois…

*There are vicious boos from the audience and JJ grins

JJ: Now I don’t think we need to drag up the history I got with J-Dubby….I think y’all know by now that me and him ain’t vibing….never have and we most certainly never will. I don’t like Dubois, in fact I pretty much despise everything he stands for and everything that he is…

But that don’t mean that I don’t recognise how talented he is and what he is capable of….for a long time I didn’t count him as an equal to me, but over the last few months I’ll admit that he has got my attention…he’s caught my eye and he’s running on a second wind that many didn’t believe he was capable of….this man is a former 6CW World Champion and quite frankly he is more of a threat to the main event scene now then he ever has been….even if I don’t agree I can understand why there are people out there who believe he is walking out of here tonight as a world champion…

*More boos from the crowd

JJ: And then you got me…..and this is where it all gets very interesting. You know because it’s no secret that I have been on one hell of a rollercoaster ride over the last two and a half years….I seen my career go up in smoke, granted a second chance at the only life I have ever know….busted my a55 to get back here….gone from strength to strength ever since I walked back through those doors and proved that JJ Johnson is far from finished…..b1tch I’m just getting started…

*Huge cheers

JJ: And whilst I can accept the doubts in the minds of the critics and the fans what I won’t accept is having to sit and listen as my two opponents tonight talk down my chances of walking out of here tonight as the Heavyweight Champion of the World…

Because for everything they have achieved in their careers, they don’t even begin to compare with mine….neither of them ever gone face to face and toe to toe with a man like me and been able to universally hold up their hand in victory…

You are looking at a former three time world champion, tag champion, TV Champion, Internet Champion….we can run the list and we can go on and on….the accolades are endless, the success is limitless and yet still I got to listen to men like Vincent Costello deriding me?

Boy I was selling out arenas when you where still crawling in the gutters of New York City….my name was up in lights when yours was nothing but a footnote in the crime section of the daily rag…and like it or not, JJ Johnson will still be a bigger attraction than you when they yell cut on your fifteen minutes of fame…

*JJ looks down for a moment

JJ: I said you got talent but what you don’t got is class and in a few hours you are going to find out that what you have done so far doesn’t matter when you step inside a ring with me…you can only ride this train so far until you are forced to change course and you are forced to adapt to a whole new environment…

You think I got everything I’ve had in my life handed to me? Someone really didn’t do their homework did they homie….I had to scratch, claw and fight for every ounce of what I got and every time they knocked me down I got my a55 straight back up….no complaints, no looking for back-handed favours…..I know you busted your balls to get to that mountain top but don’t be disrespectful enough to discount the fact I did it before you’d even got your (beep) wet for the first time…

I’ve lost count of the people that told me I’m washed up….past my best, semi-retired and ready for the scrapheap….well this old tin can still had enough to knock off every fool who stepped up in my grill since the day I got back…

Keith Leone……Jerome Dubois…..and even our very own EWF Champion…..the fact is, Vincent, that if I’m not as good as used to be, and I was still able to beat you two weeks ago, imagine what I would have done to you in my prime…

*JJ stops again and listens to the fans chanting his name before he raises the mic again

JJ: You say you are happy to put me out of my misery? That Costello’s Law will make my dream come true?

Then come give me what you got big boy…because I’m right here and waiting…but make sure you bring the championship belt with you….because when all is said and done, it’s coming home with me…

*JJ stands and smiles towards the stage, the atmosphere in the arena growing by the second.

HE: Do you think Vincent Costello is going to come out here just hours before the PPV?

HA: If I know our world champion then I would guess there would be no stopping him….I don’t think he cares when he fights, as long as he gets it…

*Uptown Funk blasts out of the speakers and the crowd pop as Jack Hurst saunters out onto the stage. He waves to the fans, but doesn't stand around, storming down to the ring with a mic in hand. He slides into the ring and doesn't waste any time airing his grievances

JH: A lot of the time you'll see the stars of 6CW coming into this ring and calling people out. It's not something I am known for, but for once I want to get something off my chest. So, messrs Andrews and Magnusson, I'll stand here and wait for you to come out and show your faces. But don't consider me rude if I chat away whilst we wait for you to grace us with your presence.

*Hurst takes a cursory glance towards the stage, laughs and then continues

JH: It seems to me that some things just don't change around here. Whoever is in charge takes the power and lets it go straight to their head. Paint yourself however you want, but Magnusson and Andrews are just the Authority in sheep's clothing. Mr Magnusson appears the other day because he wants to protect his investment. And suddenly the behaviour of reprobates is being rewarded! The Death Squad lose their number one contendership match, but they're in the bloody match aren't they? How? By cheating against myself and Mr Reborn. And they've not just cheated us, they've cheated The Producers too. They earn their shot, they have to share it anyway!

*Hurst walks back and forth in the ring, clearly frustrated.

JH: We've asked for two things since we've been champions. We wanted the Producers, one on one, to go out and put on a show against one of the most well loved teams in Tag Team history. And after that, we want their mentors. Enforcer is already here, but we want him to bring back an old friend

*The crowd pop and start a "WE WANT HOBO!" chant

JH: So do we! But the powers that be don't pull strings for some of us. The Death Squad can weasel their way in, JJ Johnson gets straight back into main events and is there anything more that can be done to accommodate the film star?

*The crowd are a little unsettled now, not happy with the dig at two faces and the whiny tone. Hurst sighs, and then smiles

JH: But never fear, my friends. Robin and I have found a way to deal with it all. At Day of Reckoning we've invited The Producers and The Death Squad to a party. Guests are invited to see the base of our feet as it meets their faces. And that invitation is now open to Mr Magnusson and Mr Andrews.

*The screen flickers to life and we see Robin knocking on Dean Andrews' door. He opens it and we see a monitor on his desk that shows Hurst in the ring

DA: What is this nonsense, Reborn?

RR: Hey, don't shoot the messenger man! I'm just making sure you know about the party that we've cordially invited you to. Guests of honour!

*Andrews furrows his brow

DA: What party?!

*Reborn smiles

RR: It's a HASHTAG Superkick Party, boss. I hope to see you there

*Reborn hands Andrews an A5 piece of paper, spins on his heels and leaves Andrews staring at the invite with #SUPERKICKPARTY written on it, with "Day Of Reckoning" below

*We go back to Hurst

JH: I do hope its one hell of a party!

The camera pans around a near empty locker room seeing only a gym bag in the far corner of the room next to a solitary chair. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Jonathan Daniels, Daniels looks into the camera and starts to speak.

JD: Ah good you’re here, I have asked for a camera as there are a few things I wanted to get off my chest. Firstly allow me to re-introduce myself I am Mr. Perfection himself Jonathan Daniels. Now I know a lot of the fans who saw my last run in 6CW will argue the fact it was far from being perfect…. And I will agree with you on that, but just know that I was young and misguided the first time around and things will be different.

Daniels walks over to the chair and takes a seat before placing the gym bag across his lap.

JD: I can already read your simplistic minds (in a sarcastic tone) how can you be sure it will be different? You were awful last time. Well the answer to that is right here in my bag

Daniels delves into his gym bag and pulls out a blood stained towel. Daniels has a tight grip on the towel as he holds it close to his head. A change in mood can be seen as Daniels expression is now more focused with anger in his eyes.

JD: THIS right here is how I KNOW I will be better this time around. This towel right here is the towel I used to WIPE AWAY MY BLOOD… MY BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED BY THE AUTHORITTY when they decided I was no longer of use to them. I have kept this with all through my rehab THIS has been my motivation, this has been what has brought me back here to 6CW.

Daniels slowly stands up tightening his grasp on the towel his eyes widening with rage.

JD: As I said earlier the man who I once was when I started was young and naïve but I am older and smarter and it is all thanks to The Authority so to them I say thank you, thank you for opening my eyes, thank you for making me realise that I was a misguided fool and thank you for giving me a purpose, a reason to be here.

Daniels lets go of the towel allowing it to drop to the floor.

JD: That right there is what you did to me you dropped me like I was nothing and that lit a fire inside of me, a fire that is burning strong and did not know I had until now. All too often I have followed others and been the misguided fool but a fool I shall be no longer I will be the man to guide my own fate. That being said let's look to the future and it is a future that starts at Day of Reckoning and the Gateway to Glory match. A match in which 30 Wrestlers will compete with only 1 winner and you better believe that you are looking at that 1 man right here. I want the other 29 Wrestlers to know when I go into this match you will feel the pain and anguish that I have felt for so long so be prepared.

With this Daniels walks out of the locker room as the camera lowers and zooms in the blood stained towel before the screen fades to black.

JJ: You say you are happy to put me out of my misery? That Costello’s Law will make my dream come true?

Then come give me what you got big boy…because I’m right here and waiting…but make sure you bring the championship belt with you….because when all is said and done, it’s coming home with me…

*JJ stands and smiles towards the stage, the atmosphere in the arena growing by the second.

HE: Do you think Vincent Costello is going to come out here just hours before the PPV?

HA: If I know our world champion then I would guess there would be no stopping him….I don’t think he cares when he fights, as long as he gets it…

I FOUGHT THE LAW & THE LAW WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crowd immediately burst into uproar in reaction to the above words screaming out around the arena, the words Costello’s Law appear on the big screen and are entwined by the thorns of a red rose. ‘Killing in the name of’ by Rage Against The Machine instantaneously kicks in and the beat of the music reverberates around the arena!

HE: Well we didn’t have to wait long… here comes the world champion and boy does he look PO’d

Costello barges through the curtain, purposefully making his way down the ramp towards the ring and JJ Johnson

HA: We might not have to wait for the title match, these too might tear each other apart right here, right now!

HE: JJ better get the hell out of dodge, because Costello looks set to tear him a new one!

Costello snatches a microphone from the ring announcer as he make his way up the steel steps and into the ring

Costello: Cut my damn music!!!!!!!!!!

Look at you all!!!! You make me sick!

Costello shouts in the direction of the 6CW universe

Just look at yourselves! Each and everyone one of you buying into the bullSh$T coming out of that man’s mouth! We could fertilise the majority of this pathetic backwater island with the manure he’s spouting. I mean just how short lived are your memories? He walked out on you; he cast you aside to seek fame and adulation from the people he really gives a damn about… Hollywood cronies!

That man right there… JJ Johnson… he sold each and every one of you out, yet when his laughable film career was dead in the water and his bank account was running on fumes what did the great JJ Johnson do? That’s right… he struts back into pro wrestling to exploit each and every one of you, to manipulate you and like the small minded weak individuals you are; you lap it all up hook line and sinker!

JJ… you are nothing more than a fraud, a sell-out… you sold out these people and you sold out pro wrestling… So who the hell do you think you are to call me out? To walk around here like you have some Devine right to my world title?

You aren’t the great JJ Johnson anymore, you aren’t the Franchise anymore and you certainly aren’t the best pure athlete in this business… you are nothing more than a ‘used to be’! Someone who once had it all, someone who had the entire world of pro wrestling in the palm of his hand… but now you have nothing, nothing but the legacy you erode every time you set foot in this ring with me.

You say you’re as good as you always were, but I can see that you don’t even believe that yourself… you wanna goad me into a reaction, you wanna try and push my buttons… well you better realise this and quick… when it comes to defending this title, when it comes to wining matches when this title is on the line… I can’t be beat, I don’t lose and it will take more than someone who used to be a big deal around here, it will take more than someone who sold out his career and this business… to even push me to the limit... so come the final bell tonight… you, the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home will know that JJ Johnson is a spent force…

A smirking Costello lowers the mic, unstraps the EWF title and defiantly raises it into the air!

"Born a champion" hits as Mike Masters makes his way out to a mixed reaction. Masters swivels on the spot to do his signature pose before pointing to the entrance were Mr. Jones appears in his customary suit and tie. The crowd reaction immediately turns hostile due to the appearance of Mr. Jones as Masters and Jones confidently make their way to the ring whilst grabbing microphones on the way.

MM: Hmmm judging from that crowd reaction, it seems you all are very happy to see me and Jonesy!

*The crowd erupt in boo's as a few "You Sold Out" chants begin to gain momentum although Masters' ignores them*

MM: Here's a thought of the day for you. One day, when I'm older and wiser, much like the man beside me only I'll be better looking...just kidding Jonesy. But anyway, one day I'm gonna right a book. Actually, it's gonna be more like an autobiography. And you know what the title of my autobiography will be called?

*The crowd chant "We Don't Care" as Masters' begins to laugh...

MM: Oh trust me, you do care, I know all of you care. You all want to know what I'm doing, where I am. I read the tweets, I see my name continously trending worldwide, the 6CW universe just can't get enough of the Masterful one I don't blame you one bit. So as I was saying, the title of my autobiography will be..."The time when Mike Masters got screwed". You all know it's true, there would be a countless number of chapters all associated with times were Masters has been mismanaged or screwed out of things which I fully deserve. And the latest chapter comes from this past Anarchy were a battle royal took place. You know why I got screwed this time, because I was eliminated by a fraud. That's right a fraud, a man that doesn't deserve to be in the wrestling industry let alone last weeks battle royal, that man of course being Anthony Grace.

*The name drop produces another mixed reaction from the crowd*

MM: You see...

MJ: Mike...

*Mr. Jones cuts off Masters much to his shock and annoyance*

MJ: Listen Mike, let's not get into this okay. You went into the 30 man battle royal completely focused on obtaining the number 30 spot, but one slip in concentration and that unworthy movie star eliminated you. One slip...one slip! That's all it takes. There's no point complaining about this issue as it will affect your concentration going into gateway to glory. In addition, your complaints will get you nowhere as 6CW management are useless and don't have any clue on what really is best for business. But I will tell you what is best for business, and that is you entering Day of Reckoning as the early favourite for the gateway to glory match and leaving as the winner of the match which will result in you Mike Masters headlining Night of Glory.

MM: Hold the boat Jonesy, you think I'm the favourite? What happened to the importance of numbers, clearly that no good Adamson is the favourite after his victory, I mean like you said, numbers matter...

MJ: Oh they do but what I didn't consider is the physical edge you'll have over your fellow competitors. If you think about it, almost half of the roster will have already competed in matches before the gateway to glory match. Look at some of the fan favourites, guys like Liam Wood or Gazzy, the pair of them will be out for retribution again their respective opponents, the pair of them will be in an absolute war, heading into Gateway to Glory, they will not be the same. Whereas you Masters will be the freshest and strongest at 100% no matter were you enter in the match.

MM: You're damn right I will be. The ladies don't call me the Mr. 60 minute man for nothing, I can outpace, outlast and outwrestle anyone in this match. Hell I got a decent track record, last year I lasted over an hour, I proved I can go the distance, however back then I just had that missing piece from the puzzle. And Mr. Jones that missing piece was you. This will be my year, it is my time to shine, no ones gonna get in my way, dammit I'm the show off, I will go on to headline Night of Glory because I am that...damn..... good!

*Masters slams the microphone on the floor with adrenaline as he runs to the turnbuckle to pose however Mr. Jones isn't finished...*

MJ: Masters...one more thing. Not only is this match an important stepping stone in the career of Mike Masters, let's make sure that finally and I mean finally, we put the final nail in the coffin and end the tragedy that is my son, Scott Harris. Now I'm not saying this will happen, but the last thing I want to see is that b@stard winning the Gateway to Glory. I want him to continue to fail, to suffer, suffer just like his mother. I want to see the look on his mothers face when Harris get's eliminated and see's me standing over him like the better man I am. At Day of Reckoning, me and you together will put an end to the "Need More Harris" movement once and for all and send Harris back home were he belongs. Mike...don't let me down.

*Masters nods his head in agreement as the two shake hands before leaving to a chorus of boo's*

The crowd inside the Manchester Arena are excited as the Titantron displays the message;


There is a buzzing noise and the screen flickers before changing;


The crowd immediately boo as "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons begins to play, the atmosphere becomes even more hostile as the reigning 6CW World Champion Max Adamson saunters out onto the stage, the 6CW Championship is around his waist as he is in his ring attire of navy blue shorts, with matching boots, knee pads and elbow pads, and a white t-shirt with the slogan 6CW presents DAY OF ADAMSON, he walks down the ramp towards the ring with his arms in the air and he deliberately avoids any contact from the somewhat angry 6CW fans at the side of the ramp, looking at them with disgust. Adamson grabs a microphone from ringside and climbs up the steps into the ring, ordering the ring announcer to open the ropes for him as he does. Adamson smirks as a very loud "You Suck" chant echoes around the arena.

Max: Welcome to 6CW presents Day of Adamson!

(Adamson talks over the booing which is relentless)

Max: And let me assure you, this isn't about your favourite wrestlers having matches, this isn't about seeing how the good guys fare in the Gateway to Glory match, no no, this is further proof that the Adamson Show is relentless. It's the Adamson Show, (in a Perez Hilton style) "It's the Adamson Show!", it's the Max Adamson Show, it's 6CW presents Day of Adamson, where the main event is a Gateway to Adamson match where the winner has a shot at the main event of Night of Adamson.

(The booing is even louder before a "GazzyD" chant rocks the inside of the Manchester Arena)

Max: The Adamson Show is relentless, it has been rolling for a long time and it'll keep going for a long time yet. Ten and a half months ago I won this Championship. I am the longest reigning 6CW World Champion EVER. I am the only man to ever win this Championship in both era's of 6CW's existence, and I am the only man ever to successfully defend the 6CW World Championship at Night of Glory. I mean Adamson. Night of Adamson.

(The crowd boo once again as Adamson smiles knowingly)

Max: Haters gonna hate, and I don't care if you hate me. I really don't care. If anything, I WANT you to hate me. Because it has the opposite effect on me to what you want. I THRIVE on your hatred. I feed off of it. When I walk into this ring later on to defend this 6CW World Championship, and there's fifteen thousand inbred attention whóres screaming vitriolic abuse in my direction, believe me Manchester, it's only going to ensure that 6CW presents Day of Adamson ends with me celebrating!

(The jeers and booing continue as Adamson laughs)

Max: I am going to win both main events tonight. And if you're gonna abuse me when I'm kicking Fifty Shades of Crap out of GazzyD later, and you're gonna abuse me when I'm leaving the ring STILL your 6CW World Heavyweight Champion, imagine how you'll react when after that, when twenty nine other superstars have entered the ring, when that timer counts down from ten to zero, not only giving you notice of when I'm coming but giving you a free lesson in basic mathematics too, when entrant thirty is about to hit the ring...

(Adamson stops as the booing is ridiculously loud, he smirks and cups his ear to the noise Hogan style)

Max: ...Imagine how loud that will be when Max Adamson enters the Gateway to Adamson match at number thirty, defeats twenty nine other superstars for the second year in a row, and wins the opportunity to take on whoever is EWF World Champion at 6CW presents Night of Adamson! Imagine how loud the abuse will be when, at the aforementioned event Night of Adamson, Max Adamson not only leaves as your 6CW World Champion, but as your NEW EWF World Champion as well. Just imagine how sad you'll all be... Just imagine how upset the children in the audience will be... Just imagine how angry you'll all get, and doing so even though I'm telling you all it'll actually make me stronger. This era of Adamson has only just begun, and believe me when I tell you, there is a long, long way to go. Welcome to the Adamson Show.

(Adamson takes the 6CW World Championship off from his waist and holds it in the air as the crowd's abuse continues, he smirks and once again cups his ear to the booing)

We're in the Phones 4 U arena in Manchester as the crowd are settling in their seats when 'Limelight' blasts out of the speakers and the fans erupt out of their chairs

Ha: OH MY GOD! WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THIS NOISE FOR MANCHESTER'S OWN GAZZYD, ITS SO LOUD I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK

He: A loser being cheered by a bunch of losers, oh the irony. I hope Adamson puts this chump on the shelf at Day of Reckoning

Ha: OH SIMMER DOWN, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MATCH, THE CULMINATION OF ONE OF, IF NOT THE FIERCEST RIVALRIES OF 2013-14

He: I am looking forward to, I'm looking forward to the champ whipping this delusional gazzyD.......again

gazzy walks out to the stage hand in hand with Christy, he stops at the top of the ramp and stares around at the fans before forming a heart shape with his hands (a la Gareth Bale) towards the cheering fans. He makes his way down to the ring tagging the hands of the fans and then slides onto the apron, raising the second rope for Christy to climb inside before grabbing a mic from ringside

gazzy paces around the ring geeing up the fans on each side before finally raising the mic to his mouth

g: This is why Manchester is the greatest city on Earth

Again another huge pop from the crowd as gazzy beams at the cheers

g: and nothing makes me more proud than to walk out from behind that curtain in front of not just the 6CW UNiverse, but the Manchester 6CW Universe, especially when in just a weeks time you will see the next chapter in one of the greatest rivalries in sporting history

You can forget about Ali versus Frazier. United versus Liverpool....nah! How about Rock v Austin....not even that compares. Because in one week its gazzyD versus Max Adamson, and unlike the past were its safe to say it all got a wee bit personal, like that storied history wasn't enough, now we go at it one more time for the biggest prize in the game....the 6CW Heavyweight Championship

The same 6CW title that he won nearly a year ago, the same title he won when he took the number 30 spot that I won in last years Gateway to Glory match, and the same title I have craved ever since I helped that Aussie snake in the grass to win it

But I'm not going to come out here and whine and complain about what has happened and how Max is only the champion because of me, quite the opposite. I'm out here to tell the world what is going to happen when me and Max step in this ring and put it all on the line again

It would be so easy for me to come out and say the same old crap about how you made my life miserable, how you screwed me over not once, but twice but thats all behind me now. You see Max whether you like it or not for the first time time since the rebirth I'm heading into a match with you on a high, a clear head. No mind games, no obsessive need for revenge and I'm riding on the crest of a wave of momentum. A wave of momentum that I haven't felt since I walked into Night of Glory III and took on three of the best this company has ever seen and emerged as Champion, and at Day of Reckoning, I know I'm going up against one of the best, I can't deny that. But SPOILER ALERT its not going to end well for the so called Incredible Hunk

the crowd cheer gazzy loudly

g: but I have to thank you Max, thank you for keeping hold of the title for this long, for taking on and beating all who thought they were good enough to stand on the top of the mountain, there's almost a poetic justice that its me, gazzyD, The Human Highlight Reel, The History Maker that will be the one who takes that belt from you, because just like I pinned your shoulders to this mat 1...2...3 and made the Authority history, at Day of Reckoning I'm going to do the same and make your title reign history. So start to say your goodbyes, polish it one last time because the gold is going home with me

crowd: gazzyD x10

gazzy paces the ring psyching up the crowd as the volume reaches fever pitch, he climbs the ropes and motions a title around his waist before hopping back down and lifing the mic to his mouth again

g: But Max, its not all doom and gloom. Just because I'm going to take the 6CW title from you and bring it back to where it belongs, just because you'll then be known as the former champion it doesn't mean you'll have a bad night. I mean you're still number 30 in Gateway to Glory, lightning can strike twice, you won it from that position last year, granted you had a lot of help from yours truly but you still did it buddy, who's to say you can't do it again? But if you were to win Gateway to Glory, I'd probably advise opting for a shot at the EWF title, because when I win and take the 6CW title, I plan on staying champion for a very.........very.........long time. Just you watch, because seeing......

crowd: IS BELIEVING!!!!

Limelight hits again and gazzy once again climbs the ropes and mimimes a title around his waist before hopping down and sharing a ug with Christy

Ha: A confident sounding gazzyD there, I can't wait for Day of Reckoning and see the culmination of this incredible rivaly

He: Neither can I, because gazzy is going to be made to look foolish. He's just come out here and guaranteed he's the next 6CW champion, I have a feeling gazzy is going to regret his words when he gets in the ring with not one of the best as gazzy put it, but THE BEST, because Max really is

Ha: We'll see, gazzy has been to the top before and is more than capable of doing the same, it really is anybodies match up, but I can guarantee the biggest winner will be the fans

*Timothy Allen is stood in the backstage area, microphone in hand, facing the camera...

TA: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome my guest at this time Buck Riggins!

*Buck walks into picture, the crowd cheer and he smiles, tipping his cowboy hat down the camera.

TA: Buck, at Day of Reckoning, you have the chance to win the UK Title, how excited are you?

Buck Riggins: Y'all have no idea! I'm more excited than a Shoefly in an outhouse! I've been in 6CW just over a month and I already got myself a title shot. Ma and Pa, all my brothers, they said to me why are y'all going to the uk? You ain't ever going to make it a wrestler. They all thought I was two sandwiches short of a picnic by coming to 6CW, but I'm one match away from proving them wrong.

TA: The match pits you against Terrence Kray, who you've formed an unlikely friendship with since you both arrived in 6CW, how do you feel about having to face him for the title?

Buck: Terry is a great guy y'know, he's been real good to me, I didn't know anything about this place, I was more confused than Mike Tyson at a spelling bee but Terry took me under his wing and really taught me a lot about life over here. I don't understand some of the stuff he says but y'all probably don't understand me either!

But Timmy boy, even a snake smiles before it bites ya. Terry is my friend, but I know how much that title means to him, I know that he'll do anything to win that title. So sorry Cuz, I ain't gonna take it easy on y'all Terry and I know y'all will b the same with me. We'll beat each other's heads like an Indian drum on a wedding night, and whoever is left standing at the end of the match, they'll deserve to win.

Y'all better be ready Terry, cos you are about to step into the hornets nest Cuz and you ain't got nearly enough net or spray to stop me. I want that title more than a hungry dog wants a cut of fresh rib-eye.

TA: As you mentioned Buck, the UK title means a lot to Terry and he's likely to have a lot of fan support, what do you have to say about that?

Buck: I understand how it is. Terry's the hometown boy but I'll just say to these fans that this is my home too now. I feel more at home here than I ever back home in the good ol US of A. The fans are my family now, and I'll do everything I can to make them proud. If they wanna cheer Terry, that's fine with me. I just hope some of them will see what this place means to me, what the fans support means to me, and decide that I'm worthy of their support.

TA: Thanks for your time Buck.

Buck: No problem Timmy boy, any time.

The scene opens as we can see a poster of Day of Reckoning in the background as a press conference is being held. Timothy Allen makes his way out in front of the podium.

TA: Ladies and Gentlemen, first of all on behalf of 6CW we would like to thank you for turning up here today for an exclusive press conference being hosted by Jerome Dubois just 2 days before one of his biggest matches in his career…Day of Reckoning. Now as you all must know Dubois is in a triple threat match for the EWF title, and rather than have me here sell this PPV for you, let me introduce you to the man who has called for this time…So ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Jerome Dubois…

“Beat the Devil’s Tattoo” hits as Dubois makes his way out from the back wearing a black suit and black tie, as a small amount of boo’s can be heard in the background as fans are seen in attendance. Dubois makes his way to the podium with a large grin.

JD: First of all…let me say I feel great….my training has been astonishing, and I am in some of the best shape of my career…Now I could go on and brag about my accomplishments and why I should be seen as the favorite going into this match, but some may feel that this isn’t the time…nor the place….However! I disagree….So let me remind you…I am a former 6CW World Champion, a 2 time tag team champion, a 6WF Internet, and Freeweight Champion…I am a man who has broken records, and has been on the roll of his career recently…Hell have you all forgotten?! I beat JJ Johnson, and pinned him in the middle of the ring 1…..2……3! Now before you ask any questions I know you will all point to the fact that Vincent Costello probably “Aided” me…To which I respond none of that would have changed a DAM thing!

I was on a roll in that match, everything was playing out exactly how I had anticipated it would go…and while I may not have predicted Vincent Costello motives, or actions, the result wouldn’t have been any different….Because the Jerome Dubois of 2015 is far better than the JJ Johnson of 2015…Let me tell you all that as far as this year goes…JJ Johnson is yet to pin me 1 on 1 in this ring! So whose is in whose shadow now? Simple Answer: JJ Johnson is…But JJ is the past…JJ is no longer even in my thoughts…He realizes everything that I told across that last few months to be true…I have humiliated him…Punished him…and left battered and bruised in the middle of this 6CW ring…The same can’t be said for him…Sure I may have lost of few, but to that I ask you all this question…Who looked like the true winner of the match? Hein? The man walking out with tape around his body, or the man who swaggers out here styling and profiling across the 6CW in Jerome Dubois? I know the answer to that question and I think you all do as well…

Dubois then pauses and turns his back to the press as he glares at Vincent Costello on the poster, as he then turns back around and takes a swig out of his glass of water.

JD: Now on to you Vincent Costello…I know Vincent you are somewhere across the world looking at this little moment with me right now…Getting ready for our match…Now I know what you must be thinking…You will be saying to yourself “OOOO Dubois must feel honoured that I gave him this shot….Dubois should in fact be helping me retain my title and team up to take JJ Out of the equation”.

Dubois lets out a light chuckle.

JD: How stupid must you be?! Hell if these last few weeks have taught me anything, is that you are the dumbest Champion 6CW has ever had! I said to you since day one, you are a second rate, paper champion! And your actions have proved to me I am 110% correct! Vincent, you have gone through a situation where you could have had a 50% chance of walking out as champion, to 33.33% -Recurring might I add-, as we now see us competing in a triple threat…That is not a threat but just a fact that the numbers are against you Vincent…there is a 66.66% chance that you won’t walk out as the champion…So if anything you have everything to lose in this match, while JJ and I have everything to gain…

Not only that but by so call “Aiding” me in my match against JJ, you shot yourself in the foot by giving JJ yet another chance to qualify for the match…In which might I add you got you’re a$$ kicked all across the arena and lost! You have set yourself up in a situation that you cannot win…Because if history teaches us anything it is that history often repeats itself! And during our last little encounter over 6 months ago with the Viper, you never pinned me, while I…well I Vincent I beat you in the middle of the ring…And you know what the same will happen again at Day of Reckoning…Because 2015 will be my year…2015 will not be the year of the goat but the year of Dubois! So as far as “Costello Law” you sick 50 shades of Gay freak! Costello Law can kiss the sole of my feet as I kick you’re a$$ one more time in front of the world!

Dubois stares intensely into the camera, as Timothy Allen is seen standing up.

TA: Now Mr.Dubois has a few more moments so if you have any questions feel free to shoot away.

One reporter raises his hand in the air as Dubois nods his head.

Reporter 1: Mr Dubois, some say this is the biggest of your career since your return to 6CW would you agree with this statement? And who do you believe poses the bigger threat?

JD: As far as this match goes…This biggest of my career since my return was beating JJ Johnson in the middle of this ring in front of the world, and I cannot wait to do it one more time at Day of Reckoning. As far as the biggest threat goes…Well Vincent is a nobody…a man who came from a second rate company, who has barely achieve anything in his career to date, so I will have to rule him out as a competitor all together…However, he may prove some use to me if he decides to do the right thing and help me keep JJ down, and hand me back my spotlight that he stupidly decided to steal away from me. So I would have to say JJ if my biggest threat, because some how those people in the crowd seem to fuel him when he is down…And trust me coming from a man that has faced him numerous times, you cannot disregard the crowd influence in this match as far as it goes with JJ…

TA: Dubois will be taking one more Question…

Another reporter raises his hand.

Reporter 2: Mr.Dubois with Night of Glory slowly approaching, would you say this is imperative that you make an impact, and show the world that The Jerome Dubois is back, bigger, stronger, and better than ever…

JD: Night Of Glory…The one show of the year where legends are born, and people write their names in history…Regardless of the outcome of this match…Make no mistake about it Jerome Dubois will be at Night of Glory, and I will right the wrongs of my past performance their and return to winning ways…Don’t forget it, I made Night of Glory what it is today, and Night of glory has constantly brought the best out of Jerome Dubois…You just have to look at some of the matches I had. The very first Chamber of Horrors match ever made in 6CW with Cobra, and so forth…I will feed off that energy and desire to become the best athlete I can when I enter the ring at Day of Reckoning…But let me tell you here first….here is a little scoop…By the weekend the announcer will be blearing out loud and proud! That the winner of the match….and NEW EWF Champion…is none of other than Jerome Dubois! Because I am Ze Phenomene Francais and the Standard within this industry!
