Elements of Surprise?



*”One Trick Pony” by Deadmau5 pumps over the PA system and Tommy V walks down to the ring to a choir of boo’s from the crowd.  He climbs into the ring and takes a mic.*

Tommy:  Well, how about that?  Ash is the new champion, and his first item of business is to not defend the belt.  What a champion!  I’m not sure whether to chalk it up to fear, or business savvy.  Because being the champ is quite a lucrative job.  Might as well milk it as long as you can, right Ash?

*”What You Got” by Reveille suddenly kicks on and the crowd cheers as Ash makes his way down to the ring.  He takes a mic and climbs in*

Ash:  Well, well, well here’s another one.  Let me guess, you want a crack at the title too?  See if you can figure this out.  What is the difference between you and Jacob Washington, Hardcore Adam, and Tiger Johnson?  I’ll give you a hint…..They all won their matches last week!

*crowd cheers at the dig.  Tommy scowls*

Ash:  In fact, Tiger beat you, didn’t he?  I don’t even know why you are—

*Ash is cutoff when “Hero” by Skillet starts playing.  Marcus makes his way down to the ring*

Marcus:  Pop quiz, Ash.  What do I have in common with those three guys?  I won my match too!  Yet I don’t see you dolling out a chance at the title to me.  Nope.  Let’s call a spade a spade.  You picked your friends and favorites instead of people who legitimately deserve a crack at that belt of yours.  It’s time for a change, and it’s time for a real hero to step up and wield that title.

*Triumphant music begins playing and Mikey Armstrong makes his way to the ring*

Mikey:  Ash, I remember you.  I’m pretty sure I beat you last season, right?  In fact, I beat everybody who came at me last season.  I’m pretty amazing in that regard.  Did you do anything like that?  No.  I think you actually lost your first match.  Yet what recognition do I get from you?  None.  Marcus is right.  You don’t know a thing about who deserves anything.  You might as well have just picked names out of hat.

*”Stardog Champion” plays and Paul Priest comes down to the ring.  He walks up to Ash and smiles at him.  Without warning, he kicks Ash in the gut.  Ash doubles over and the other 3 start wailing blows down onto Ash.  Ash falls down and turtles while the other 4 continue to stomp him.  Suddenly, Marty Anderson and Balance come running down the ring.  The crowd cheers loudly at the rescue as Marty punches Marcus in the face and who falls and Marty begins stomping away.  Balance grabs Mikes and throws him into the turnbuckle and starts punching him.  Tommy and Paul continue beating on Ash.  Then suddenly, Scotty Paris runs out from behind the curtain and the crowd goes nuts!  Scotty books it down the ramp.  Paul looks up and notices him and squares off.  Scotty slides into the ring and charges at Paul.  Paul tries to clothesline Scotty, who ducks under it, rebounds off the robes and delivers and vicious spear to Paul that almost breaks him in half!  Scotty rains down punches and the two roll out of the ring, brawling.  Meanwhile, Marty tosses Marcus out of the ring and runs over and punches Tommy and throws him out of the ring.  Balance clotheslines Mikey over the turnbuckles and he splats on the floor.  Paul escapes Scotty and runs over to the ramp and turns and faces the ring.  Tommy, Marcus, and Mikey do the same.  The 4 of them link hands and hold them up in the air.  Ash, Marty, and Balance stand in the ring yelling at them.  Scotty stands on the floor below and points and screams at Paul.  Scene fades out.*
