"Aftermath" East Coast Hype-Show
LIVE from MURDA-PAN SQUARE
”Nah nahanahanah naaaaah!!!!! screams through the surround sound system. PUBLIC ENEMY in da house, bitch!!!!
1) PUBLIC ENEMY versus 2 UNNAMED JOBBERS
versus
Winners: Public Enemy
Suddenly, Public Enemy are brutally assaulted by a street gear-clad BLK MOBB (complete with gang rags and timberland shit-kickers). They body the Public Enemy before giving them the BLK JEEZ stomp (assisted with a steel chair) through a set of tables. BLK MOBB challenge them at “Aftermath” and spit upon their lame, white-boy poseur legacy. They raise their hands and casually puff a black-n-mild as the Public Enemy lay in wreckage beneath their feet.
SABIAN: Don't get into it if you're not serious and can't handle stress, pain, injuries, backstabbing, people playing politics, shady promoters, grown men and women who act like children and like to play high school games and most of all, people that don't understand that pro wrestling is a form of entertainment and it's not "real". If you can deal with all of those things, then it's for you.

INTERLUDE (West Coast Killaz Convention)
Enter the (uncrowned and self-appointed) BCCW King of the Death Match, “VICIOUS” VIC GRIMES. He is escorted by his band of mongrels, the “Cannibal Cartel” (featuring Madman Pondo, “Sick” Nick Mondo and the backseat boy Trent Acid). Each rubs their nose and grinds their jaws in fiendish unison. Crowd is alive with electricity for the team; peppering them with jeers and raunchy chants. The team gains the ring, and after a pregnant pause to soak in another vile crowd chant, “Vicious” Vic Grimes (aka the Killo Killa) takes the mic. Recounts his teams rise to prominence (starting with his Danbury fall with New Jack and ending with their destruction of The Messiah at BCCW “GRAND CONJUNCTION”). Says his team will continue their reign of terror by overtaking the tag team genre – a territory thus far untapped in BCCW. With Grimes’ endorsement, and Madman Pondo’s joyous applause – “SICK” NICK MONDO and the backseat boy TRENT ACID step forward and claim the mic.
TRENT ACID: Wrestling is universal and when you wrestle, there are just some things - when you are trained PROPERLY, and I stress that - when you are trained properly and know what to do, wrestling is universal. You can communicate with guys in different ways. Of course you learn some things more along the way and there are some things you can and can't do… but other than that…
SUDDENLY…
“Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys cuts him off!
Enter LOU THESZ & JACK SWAGGER… The Trustbusters!!!
Thesz has the house mic. These boys don’t know anything about “properly trained!” These boys don’t know anything about honor, classical training, or history!!! And the Trustbusters – gate keepers of wrestling tradition – will be DAMNED before they let a conclave of cavemen savages carve out a niche in their great sport.
LOU THESZ: Everybody wants to know who’s the best wrestler in the world today (gestures towards the man standing next to him). There's a young man, Jack Swagger. He's a very good representative of what wrestling should be, not 'rasslin. He's a sophisticated wrestler, and I met him in New York, and we spent several hours together. He's a very, very nice young man. He's really concerned about wrestling, not himself. (Gestures towards Trent Acid) I’d give him a 10 for body. And a 1 for wrestling… maybe a zero.
TRENT ACID: (completely indignant) Since I was 14 when I started, I've been to Japan, went all around the world, won titles, got good exposure, and made really good money. So far, the wresting business has been really good to me. I'm not bitter. Once I do get bitter, then maybe it will be time for me to leave.
JACK SWAGGER: Lou and I are good friends and go back a while. We met through a mutual friend Masahiko Kimura who, while I was at college, sat me down to talk to me about the business. I knew a lot about the business already, I've been following pro wrestling since a child, but Kimura basically told me that over the next months to finish my degree, and my wrestling training and then we would take it from there. When I met Mr. Thesz, I had been interviewing for jobs for ages, salesman roles all sorts of things, so it was the right place at the right time for me. And as they say the rest is history.
TRENT ACID: Well WE decided to pull it off! Of course, the more you go [to the Xtreme], the more you adapt and you learn guy's styles. THEN, you watch tapes and THEN you see what's going out there. It’s like I said, it's a whole different world out there. Unless you go there, people, unless you go, anyone can be any superstar you want. I am a superstar! I have a title to prove it. I've been in magazines, and I've been there 11 times. SO, I can say I am a XTREME style wrestler!!!
LOU THESZ: What they are teaching is choreographed tumbling. It's certainly entertainment, most people know that by now. In my opinion, if you are going to make a living wrestling, you should know how to do it. Some of them today are really great athletes, but few of them have sophisticated wrestling knowledge.
JACK SWAGGER: There is a big difference. Each one has its own system - their own coaches. But I learnt the most from Thesz & Kimura. They taught me a lot and I owe them a lot. The set up and program they have is incredible. They like, turn out 16 new wrestlers every week. When I was at ”GRAND CONJUNCTION”, after I finished my match I saw them and it was a good moment, like things had come full circle.
TRENT ACID: I'm still out here! This is a goal of mine and I would love to see myself [in the WWE] in a couple of years. But hey, that's just the way life works out. If I'm not meant to be on TV every week for the WWE, then that is not what I am meant to do in my life, and Trent Acid moves on and conquers something else. But I'm here for the long run unless, God forbid, something bad happens to me….
LOU THESZ: And it will. By the degree you’re living today, with the porno stuff. Some of our guys did some drinking. Drugs were not on the scene at all, we weren't even aware of them. The guys doing the drinking weren't on the top, that's for sure. We had a few sex scandals. Some of the girls, waiting to say hello to the athletes, they were available to whomever wanted them. That was always around. We used to call them arena rats, though that isn't very nice. They were just hanging around as party girls.
Cannibal Cartel goes ballistic, but the Trustbusters keep it fresh to death and challenge the maniacal, scarred duo to a brutal clash of styles at BCCW “AFTERMATH”. To prove once and for all the dominance of their breed, and to eradicate the watered-down, poseur-style of Xtreme Death Match wrestlers. The Trustbusters will expose the folly of their ways and remove that cancerous cell from the pro wrestling map forever. Cannibal Cartel accept!!! Vic Grimes is on a mission, and will sacrifice his minions to the cause. Death Rap/Metal/Wrestling rules!!!!
"Sick" Nick Mondo remains Unscarred.

A BITCH iz a BITCH
Lizzy Borden has asked reigning World Women’s Wrestling champion Alexxis Neveah to the ring. After opposing her, then teaming with her (at “BEHIND the WALLS”) before coaching opposite her at “THE GRAND CONJUNCTION” – Lizzy admits that the young, perky Alexxis has “earned her respect”. So in honor of their new understanding, Lizzy would like to present Alexxis with a gift. Conveniently already in the ring, in a life-sized box complete with wrapping paper, a little bow, and a name tag reading “Alexxis”.
Young Alexxis Nevaeh is clearly hesitant, and hip to the fact Lizzy Borden is a slimy, two-faced snake. Of course as she turns to face Lizzy and tell her this, the unwrapped gift behind her suddenly bursts from its casing into the ring.
Enter ALOISIA the AMAZON!!!!
Predictably, she squashes the diminutive Alexxis with a crushing array of slams and chops, before climaxing with the big double-fisted choke slam. All the while, Lizzy Borden is running amuck and laughing maniacally. If she can’t get that belt off Alexxis herself, she’ll find one someone to do it for her!!! Then Lizzy Borden unsheathes her own belt – and as the giant ALOISIA the AMAZON holds Alexxis down – literally whips the champs ass until it is streaked red with welts. Lizzy then poses with the WWW belt and Aloisia before leaving the ring to huge boos.

RETURN of the EMPIRE
TRIPLE H: We're hard people to locate. We're all over the place, you know. Sometimes people say, "It's so rough, it's so rough." It's not that bad. It used to be a lot worse. But I have two kids and I am home three days a week. But when you do go on the road, it's hectic. You're in a different city every day. You fly in to a new town, you do a show, you go to the next town, you sleep, you wake up and do it again. It's basically just a series of transportation, to the gym, to the arena, to the plane. It's funny because I'll watch those VH1 "Behind the Music" shows and I'll hear these bands say, "After four months on the road, we're ready to crack. We're at each other's throats." I'm thinking, "Four months?" We don't have time when we don't tour. That's the thing that's a bit daunting about what we do. You know, we have ”AFTERMATH” coming up and it's our Super Bowl. Once that Super Bowl is over, there is a party, but if you are a top guy you really don't want to go to the party too long because you have to get up the next morning. It's a never-ending cycle. Look at it like this: There is the real world and the Wrestling Universe. So the cat is now out of the bag in the wrestling Universe and it now exists there. So anything that has to do with me story-line-wise, you have to be conscious of the fact that I am married into the McMahon family. That throws a different curve into it. So my only concern was it tainting future story lines. It's a trip. If you go to an event and you sit there and feel that energy and then imagine being on that stage and that energy being directed at you ... it's an amazing, addictive thing. Heh heh, I love being a heel. If I had my way, I'd have been a heel my whole career. I compare it to Darth Vader by the second or third movie, when he came on, you started saying, "Yeah!" Even though he was trying to kill Luke Skywalker... he was just cool. There was a point in time with my character where I had been here a long time, I had a certain amount of respect [from the fans] and ... you know, I beat up a lot of people and caused mayhem, and to teenagers and kids, that is cool. It just became a cool character and we were struggling ... the worse things we thought I was doing, the louder the audience would cheer me for it. I was coming out and drilling a guy with a sledgehammer and people would go nuts. So I had no choice as people basically turned me. If I thought it would work, I'd turn back in a minute. Pain. I am like Mr. T in "Rocky III": Pain. It's now personal.
Suddenly, a reggaeton song starts playing through the surround system… it’s PEDRO MORALES!!! Back from his vicious, bloody assault at the hands of Triple H!
Triple H just smirks with cocky resolve, confident in his abilities and the fact he not only beat Pedro at “RESPECT THE SHOOTERS & HOOKERS” but absolutely destroyed him in brutal fashion before “THE GRAND CONJUNCTION”.
But suddenly… the opening strains of “Black-and-Yellow” (by Wiz Khalifa) can be heard…from across the arena – trapping TRIPLE H in the ring – appears the OG living legend. None other than BRUNO SAMMARTINO himself!!! Now Triple H doesn’t look so cocky…
BRUNO SAMMARTINO: I don't know your interpretation, but I'll tell you exactly what happened. I'm the one who turned you down and I'll tell you why. Meetings were going on and I had no part in any of the meetings. It was Toots Mondt, MSD and from what I understand, you [Triple H] were invited to a couple of those meetings. I was the only one not invited. The thing was this. I was doing phenomenal business in the Northeast. I had made shots here and there, San Francisco, Los Angeles and some other places. They wanted to unify the title; have one champion. Well, what happened was as it was in New York with me, I used to go home two Sundays out of the month. The reason was MSD, who for me was one of the nicest promoters I ever met if not the nicest, in fact, I know he was the nicest promoter I met and worked for. He was very good to me. He gave me a break when I was blackballed all over the United States. I had to go to Brockton. He got calls trying to put the kabosh to me, but he was going to judge for himself. He told me all of this after I'd been there for months and he got to believe I was a pretty good guy and I did good business with him and we became good friends. When I left to go to New York, because I was getting a good break there, MSD asked me for a favor.
MSD used to run the Slaughtahouse on Sundays every second week. He asked me if I would come and work the Slaughtahouse every second Sunday. In my heart, I couldn't say no to the guy. I had been there for over a year-and-a-half, closer to two years. He had given me a break when I was in really bad shape. I had a wife and a kid and I was in really, really bad shape. There's no way I could have said no to him. So as a result, I'm going to Brockton two Sundays out of the month. So all I've got is two Sundays out of the month with my family. When I heard of all these meetings, on that Thursday when we used to have live TV in Washington, D.C., I called Toots and I called MSD and he other party involved, I called them to a private room that they had. I said to them, "I don't know what's going on because whatever you people are dealing with I'm being left out of it. But if what I'm hearing is true, you better know where I stand on this thing before we have any real problems. I understand that right now the problems you have with McMahon and you is you want 17 days of the month of me and Mondt says he wants 15 days of the month. So you guys are compromising. What you are forgetting is how about me!
I have a wife. I have parents who are still living. I have a family in Pittsburgh and as it is right now, I'm going home twice a month. If you guys think I'm going to lose those two days out of the month because you guys want to book me 32 days out of a 30-day month, you guys are crazy. I'm going to work out, even with MSD, who I like and respect, I'm having a problem. I'm not getting home enough and I need four Sundays out of the month. As kind as MSD had been to me, I'd been doing this for a couple of years and I figured he would understand. I have a family. So when they heard me and I made my stand loud and clear that no way was I going to work on Sundays. "Book me or work out whatever arrangement you and MSD want. But four days of the month are mine and my family's." It was at that point that MSD said, "Well, Mondt said he can't go for less than 15 days. We're doing such great business here. Why should we jeopardize our business here for the unification of the title?" Toots Mondt said, "Well, I told you I was never for it in the first place." Because I was going to be the guy. So with that, they told Triple H, "We better keep things as they are." They told the truth. "Bruno wants Sundays off. He has a family now and he's worked for MSD two Sundays out of the month" and blah, blah, blah. That's how the deal was killed. I don't know what Triple H claims, but that's the fact. That's exactly what went down.
Pedro and Bruno storm the ring and trounce Triple H. He tries to use the sledgehammer but is quickly overcome by the combined might of the two former Heavyweight champions. Double clothesline, over-the-shoulder backbreaker/dominator followed by a humiliating Boston crab from Pedro that draws repeated and frantic taps from The Game. The two men clear the ring to massive cheers. Coin themselves the “Legends Guild”. If they couldn’t stem the tide of history and stop the McMahon Junior Mafia by themselves… then united they will be unstoppable!!!
The Legends Guild!

Tune in next time as the “The Aftermath” draws closer! Will Alexxis defend her title against Lizzy Borden’s new hand-picked assassin? Is the Messiah really gone, and can the Trustbusters bring it hard enough to stop the insane forces of The Cannibal Cartel??? And how will New Jack respond to all the slander sent his way by “Vicious” Vic Grimes? Plus, Gold Dust Trio Inc. makes an announcement regarding the Unified and Undisputed world championship (held by John Cena and Desmond Wolfe respectively), the Diamond Dynasty drama continues and who owns the rights to the now-disbanded Straight Edge Society in BCCW? All this and MORE as MSD’s Mash-Up Wrestling continues!!!

I have a wife. I have parents who are still living. I have a family in Pittsburgh and as it is right now, I'm going home twice a month. If you guys think I'm going to lose those two days out of the month because you guys want to book me 32 days out of a 30-day month, you guys are crazy. I'm going to work out, even with MSD, who I like and respect, I'm having a problem. I'm not getting home enough and I need four Sundays out of the month. As kind as MSD had been to me, I'd been doing this for a couple of years and I figured he would understand. I have a family. So when they heard me and I made my stand loud and clear that no way was I going to work on Sundays. "Book me or work out whatever arrangement you and MSD want. But four days of the month are mine and my family's." It was at that point that MSD said, "Well, Mondt said he can't go for less than 15 days. We're doing such great business here. Why should we jeopardize our business here for the unification of the title?" Toots Mondt said, "Well, I told you I was never for it in the first place." Because I was going to be the guy. So with that, they told Triple H, "We better keep things as they are." They told the truth. "Bruno wants Sundays off. He has a family now and he's worked for MSD two Sundays out of the month" and blah, blah, blah. That's how the deal was killed. I don't know what Triple H claims, but that's the fact. That's exactly what went down.
Pedro and Bruno storm the ring and trounce Triple H. He tries to use the sledgehammer but is quickly overcome by the combined might of the two former Heavyweight champions. Double clothesline, over-the-shoulder backbreaker/dominator followed by a humiliating Boston crab from Pedro that draws repeated and frantic taps from The Game. The two men clear the ring to massive cheers. Coin themselves the “Legends Guild”. If they couldn’t stem the tide of history and stop the McMahon Junior Mafia by themselves… then united they will be unstoppable!!!
The Legends Guild!
