[Puck/Pyros]

R-C-Dub!!
R-C-Dub!!

(Voice over darkness) I miss them so much..

Py-ros!!
Py-ros!!

I still hear them chant my name.

You suck!!
Go to hell!!

Wait. What happened?

You're not welcome here anymore!!
Clean out your locker, and clean up your act!!

You don't understand.. I never meant anybody any harm!

Thanks to you, I got fired too!!
You ruined my life!!

Please forgive me...



A single light shines up from the floor. The light shines up right into the painted face of Pyros, one half of the returning tag team, The New Downward Spiral.

Hello, RCW fans. My name is Pyros, My name is James and I have a problem. This time, last year, I was introduced to certain drugs while I was an active superstar here in the RCW. At first, I felt better, I looked great in the ring, it's the best I've ever felt! I was liked in the locker room, girls were digging me, I was on top of the world. Best part was, nobody knew. Then a few months later, stuff fell apart. I blew spots in the ring, I was sloppy. I made no sense. People wouldn't talk to me, I was crabby all the time and then the worst thing ever happened. During the War Games match, I did a crappy corkscrew moonsault, and instead of landing in the middle of the guys on the floor, I landed toward my brother, Puck. Catching me, he rolled he ankle, ripping 4 tendons in his right ankle. He didn't say it out loud, but I knew it was my fault, and he was mad. Two weeks later, A.J. Supreme and Ben Jacobs drug tested me. I failed. Puck was injured and I was told to go clean up. Sober and on one good ankle, Mikey took us to Japan. It was there where they showed me I didn't need to be high to loved and respected. I didn't need drugs to win matches and more importantly, win over you, the fans.

Pyros wipes a tear away, and continues.

After showing Mr. Supreme and Mr. Jacobs that my head was in the right place, they let us come back, and at School of Hard Knocks, they gave us a tag team championship match. That's one hell of a welcome home present that we can't screw up. That I can't screw up. but that is then, now, one member of each of those three teams meets in the main event this Southern Dynamite. Wacko Carl, Eno Redrum, and Pyros. That's one hell of a match. Now, Carl, you and Beavis are the champs and you didn't earn those titles from hanging out on a sofa all day. You guys are nasty talented in the ring, and could easily hold single straps. It'll be a pleasure getting beaten by you again. Eno, I grew up watching you wrestle with my father. I was always in awe at your size and your fierce demeanor in the ring, you are definitely a scary man. I have the honor of being locked up against you two. Just remember, I have something to prove now. I have to prove my doubters wrong. You two are standing in my way. You both......will be DOWNED!!!

Camera fades to static as Pyros can be heard laughing in the back round.

The Truth Of The Matter

[Nate Sipes/The New Level]

[As you become a champion, you’re faced with the situation of many competitors wanting what’s yours. You must not only deal with this challenge but manage the personal strife you face every day. This is what the RCW Hog Wild Tag Team Champions, The New Level, have come to realize, thanks to the recent actions of their 7DA counterpart and the challenges of Excessive Force and TNDS. While they know how to train for a match against these opponents, they have no idea on how to combat their teammate. As they finish their training for the day outside the Boys and Girls Club, Carl and Beavis reflect on the one thing that occupies their mind, which isn’t the tag teams that face them but their mentor gone mad.]

EB: I’m telling you, man, we HAVE to do something about HJ. You saw that promo he did? He’s lost his mind.

WC: I know, Beavis, I know. But look at what we’re dealing with here: we’ve got a team with a chip on their shoulder because we beat them and ended their aura of being “the team most likely to be champs.” We’ve got a team featuring a guy who just had a Southern Heritage Title Match and a partner who has a ton of potential in this company. Not only do we have to face these guys in a Ladder Match at the next supercard but I have to face Eno and Pyros at the next show. I think we have more important things to worry about than our former mentor going on a drinking binge and losing his mind!

EB: Really? Well, tell that to Willy Franklin and Lee Jackson. Try telling that to Cletus for this week and see what he says.

WC: Look, just forget about HJ for now. You need to be concentrating on our tag title match at School 2 and I need to concentrate on the Triple Threat Match. If we don’t take care of OUR matters first, if we’re too busy worrying about HIS bullsh*t, then we’ll lose these titles.

[Carl holds up his tag title belt in front of Beavis as his partner just lowers his head and reluctantly nods in agreement.]

WC: Just keep your head straight and we’ll take care of HJ AFTER we retain our belts.

[Beavis raises his head to look back at Carl.]

EB: Well, considering Pyros is saying how much he’s looking forward to us beating him again, he shouldn’t cause much of a threat.

WC: That’s true because half of a match is mental and if he’s feeling so defeated before even stepping into the ring then I’ll have no problem showing our first win over them wasn’t a fluke.

EB: Maybe those drugs are still messing with his mind?

[Carl’s eyes squint together as he thinks it over before just shaking his head “no” and looking back to Beavis with a serious look.]

WC: I don’t think so. I know they say that you get all sorrowful and mellow once you stop using drugs but I don’t think they’re behind his thought process. I think it’s the knowledge that he knows that TNDS is no longer the premiere team in RCW. He knows that other teams, such as us and Excessive Force, have surpassed him and Puck. That means that not only does he have to produce some big results in this match but he and Puck have to produce big at School 2 or else they may never get another shot at the titles. Too many good teams are coming through here these days and if they aren’t careful, they’ll end up on the out of RCW’s tag team division permanently. Puck can afford that because he’s shown in the past that he doesn’t need a partner to get over inside the ring but Pyros is another story altogether. Without Puck, he’s lost and he knows it. Everyone will realize that when he gets destroyed in the ring at Southern Dynamite. Sure, he’ll put up a fight because he does have talent but I just don’t think that he can stand up to me or a powerhouse like Eno on his own.

EB: Eno will definitely be a challenge. He’s been a great challenge to every opponent he’s faced in RCW.

WC: Yeah, he’s provided a great “challenge” but he’s never been a “champion” in this company. He puts on great performances but he can’t get the job done when he’s supposed to. It’s like they always say “always a bride’s maid but never a bride.” He had his chance to be the Natural Champion way back when he was in that #1 Contender Tournament but he lost to Doug in the First Round. He could’ve won the Southern Heritage Title in that Battle Royal after the second Hog Heaven show but he lost out there, too. Then, there was his match against Phil at the last Hog Heaven. He had the best shot he ever had of winning a title in RCW and he STILL couldn’t pull of the win. Therefore, he’s still looking for his first piece of gold while others who have arrived here after him are already top contenders and champions in RCW.

EB: Just like us and Nate.

WC: Exactly. I mean, even Johnny Page has looked like he’ll show more promise than Eno at this point. Sure, Eno’s proven time and again that he can bounce back and put himself in the title picture but how long can that last? The fact that he’s going the tag team route shows that he doesn’t believe that he can get the job done on his own all the time anymore. Eno thinks that Blacksmith will tip the scales in his favor but it won’t make any difference this time around. Sure, Eno has been and will be a champ again but he won’t be able to beat me at the next show and he won’t grab those belts at School 2.

[Beavis crosses his arms, raises his eyebrows and nods his head in agreement.]

EB: They seem like pretty cool guys though?

[Carl just chuckles.]

WC: Yeah, Eno’s great when he’s not insulting you all the time. He wants to go one way while Blacksmith seems to want to keep him on the same path. Eno may have a point in wanting to have a more vicious edge because his “need for redemption” hasn’t helped him out really so far. I mean, we went through a change, we realized that we needed to get rid of HJ as our manager to get ahead in RCW and look: we’re the RCW Hog Wild Tag Team Champions.

[Beavis smiles as he admires the title belt around his waist.]

EB: That’s very true. So what’s next on the agenda?

WC: Well, we’ve got an interview scheduled with Bettie Lee in a few minutes so we’d better get over there and take care of it.

EB: Afterwards, let’s get in touch with Nate.

[Carl just looks at his partner with a confused look on his face.]

WC: Why’s that?

EB: Maybe he can take care of HJ while you take care of your match.

[Carl rolls his eyes as he responds.]

WC: He has to worry about Crowe and Page’s match, man. He doesn’t have the time to worry about a large, drunken idiot who loves to beat people up.

[Beavis goes to say something else but Carl puts his hand up to silence him.]

WC: And before you say anything, Doug’s probably gearing up for his Southern Heritage Title Match. He won’t have time to worry about HJ either. You see, we’re all too busy being a major part of RCW to worry about HJ right now so just DROP IT! If we don’t take care of him at some point then someone else will. Now, let’s go take care of this interview.

[Carl walks through the entrance of the Boys and Girls Club. Beavis just stands outside for a moment; contemplating what’s just been said. He lets out a sigh before joining Carl inside the Boys and Girls Club.]

[Nate Sipes/The New Level]

[The screen fades from black and into a certain young interviewer’s graphic.]

[The screen then fades the picture away and shows Bettie Lee Rose standing in the media area of the Boys and Girls Club; smiling, as always. Wacko Carl and Extreme Beavis are standing to her direct left as she begins.]

BLR: Hello, ladies and gents! Bettie Lee Rose here for another exclusive interview. This time, I’m joined by one half of the RCW Hog Wild Tag Team Champions Wacko Carl as he prepares for his Triple Threat Match at Southern Dynamite. Of course, his two opponents for that match will be Pyros of The New Downward Spiral and Eno Redrum of the up and coming team of Excessive Force. Now, Carl, you and Beavis are quite familiar with Pyros as you defeated him and his partner Puck to advance in the tag team tournament. What do you expect out of Pyros for this match based on that encounter?

WC: Well, Bettie, I expect him to put up a great effort, show off some high-flying moves but come up short in the end. That’s nothing against him personally but he just can’t stand up to better competition. I mean, back when there were only two teams in RCW, he could get away with it. Nowadays, however, you’ve got The New Level, obviously…

[Carl smiles at Bettie Lee before continuing.]

WC: …you’ve got Eno and his partner Blacksmith, you’ve got our 7DA running mates Doug and Nate and…

[Carl sighs before mentioning the final team on his mind.]

WC: …yes, you even have Pain & Suffering. The truth is that tag team wrestling in RCW is on the rise and Pyros needs his partner to have a thriving career in wrestling. He’s what you’d call a “tag team specialist” and now that he’s just another fish in a large pond, he’ll find out that him and his partner’s time as a team maybe at an end as a competitive force.

BLR: Does that mean that you don’t see Pyros as much of a threat in your match?

WC: I don’t see him as the MAIN threat is what I’m saying. He’s done very little in the way of singles competition and it’s easy to see why: his ONLY singles match outside of a battle royal was a loss…TO HIS PARTNER! Now, I’m not taking anything away from his athleticism but he’s just not up to par when it comes to pro wrestling. In my opinion, Puck is the engine that keeps TNDS rolling. Pyros is just along for the ride.

[Bettie gives a shocked look before taking a deep breath to continue.]

BLR: Those are some pretty harsh words, Carl.

WC: Well, if he disagrees with anything that I’ve said at all today, all he has to do is show up at Southern Dynamite and prove me wrong. I mean, by no means is this not an important match for all three of us. I know many people are looking at this as “just a warm up” but it’s but just one battle in the war that’s to come. In order to either win or retain the tag titles, the six of us have to go to war with each other. It’s that simple. At the end of the day, I see Pyros and his partner as a scouting party or maybe kamikazes is more accurate: they’re magical to stare at as they fly through the air but they’re just there to crash and burn.

BLR: Do you think Pyros’s admitted drug use has anything to do with his team’s results?

WC: Actually, I see it as an excuse. I mean I feel for the guy because he obviously has or at least had a problem that he needed to take care of. The thing is he still had some modest success back when he said he was lighting up. Could he have done better sober? We’ll never know because he wasted that chance. Now that he’s admitted his drug use that just gives him a crutch to fall on if he loses. If he gets destroyed by me or Eno, he can always just come back and say “oh, I didn’t have a great night. My demons are still acting up. I still need to do a better job of staying off of drugs.” That may work for a P.S.A. but it can’t and won’t work in the squared circle. If it’s really that big of a deal for him then he should be in rehab; not wrestling against a couple of world class athletes.

[Carl diverts his gaze from Bettie and looks straight into the camera.]

WC: Pyros, I do feel sorry for your substance problems. I think you’d do well speaking to kids about the dangers of drugs. The only problem is that your talk of redemption and sorrow and this “whoa is me” stuff just won’t work at Southern Dynamite. If you want to be taken seriously then show up for our match ready to fight. That’s the only way I’ll be convinced that you’re truly a competitor worthy of the title shot that you’ve been given by us and RCW.

[Carl turns his attention back to Bettie; waiting for her next question.]

BLR: Turning to your second opponent, Eno Redrum. While it was over a year ago, he was defeated by your friend Doug Gavelon.

[Carl nods his head in agreement before responding.]

WC: That’s true but that was a different time. That was when Eno was also looking for redemption. It’s become apparent that he no longer has something as sentimental as redemption on his mind but now has championship aspirations on his mind. Specifically, the tag team titles that Beavis and I hold. If I were to compare the Eno from now and the Eno from then, I believe we would see two very different personalities. Eno found the need to evolve as did we because we realized that something needed to change for us to succeed. For Beavis and I, it meant being the first ever tag team champions in RCW. For Eno thus far, it’s meant one more in a long line of missed opportunities against the champions of RCW. To his credit, he seems more determined this time around as him and his partner, Blacksmith, seem really geared up for their shot at our titles. The only problem is that Eno seems more geared up for being a contender than a champion. He wants to prove in this match that he’s the best of the rest. Well, good for him if that’s what he really wants because we always need talented gate keepers for the up and coming stars. If he wants to be a champion or champions like Beavis and I became, he has to do better than just being “better than the rest.”

BLR: Is it possible that you or your other opponent Pyros will believe your hype too much like Eno says?

[Carl chuckles for a moment.]

WC: I find that comment funny coming from a guy who, to the best of my knowledge, was considered a god for a while during his time in NEW. He took the hype everybody built up around him and allowed it to carry him to RCW. He’s still hyping himself up by admitting all these failures in his life as if to say that makes him better than us.

[Carl turns back to the camera; as determined a look on his face as thought humanly possible.]

WC: You want to talk about blood spilled or not, Eno? Well, how about this? While you were on top in NEW, Beavis and I were traveling around the indy scene in North Carolina; working for $25 and spending $40 just to keep rolling long enough to the next show. While you had your big match with Doug to start off your RCW tenure, Beavis and I continued to eat sh*t in the b*st*rdized version of ML. While you were busy missing another opportunity to grab the brass ring, Beavis and I were winning the tag team titles. Don’t talk to me about sacrifices in this business, Eno, because you’ve been force-fed success your entire career. Sure, you lost your family and killed a man and all of this other stuff but all that’s done is given you a crutch, like Pyros, to lean on. I’m not disrespecting you or your family but the point is that sometimes, you have to let go. If you don’t let go of all of these “terrible things that you’ve done,” you’ll continue to see failure after failure after failure. In the end, Eno, the only terrible thing left in your life will be you. Don’t let that happen, Eno, because you have too much talent for it. Just remember, that it’s a long way back to the top and that after you lose to me at Southern Dynamite and at School of Hard Knocks 2, your long trek will have to begin again.

[Bettie fans herself down; trying to keep from succumbing to her shock over the remarks made by Carl. She manages to calm herself down long enough to ask one more question.]

BLR: Finally, do you believe that any non-participating team member will get involved in this match?

WC: Not at all, Bettie. I think all of us respect this sport enough to keep it just between the three men in the ring. Blacksmith, Puck and certainly Beavis will all get their chance at battle at another time. Until then, they’ll get a better than ringside seat as I take my opponents to a new level at Southern Dynamite.

BLR: For RCW, this has been Bettie Lee Rose with another exclusive interview. I’ll see you all at Southern Dynamite for the main event featuring Carl facing Pyros and Eno as well as the rest of our terrific card. Until then, good night, everybody!

[Bettie and Carl shake hands as the screen fades to black.]

[Puck/Pyros]

Voice over

I'm nobody now.

All alone with no talent and with out a hope or a dream.



I think you misunderstood something, Carl.

I'm not dead. I'm clear. Nothing clouds me.

For some reason, Carl and Eno, you both are going into this match underestimating me. Why?


The Parting Glass Pub in Saratoga, N.Y. The owner of the pub, "The Kingpin" BDC, stand behind the bar, washing a few glasses with the scrub attachment for his missing hand.

Damn it, damn it all to Baghdad! Boys! One of you damn boys get in here!

Yeah, what do you want? You'll wake the neighborhood up if you keep bellowing like that.

You know that there beer cases can't carry themselves in, I ant it done before you boys go back to Mississippi.

We're not going to Mississippi, we're going to Arkansas.

I don't see what the big deal is. You boys go below the Mason Dixon, and you go to some YMCA in Kentucky and you get the crap kicked out of you. Just like your Daddy. Except he could take a whoopin! You damn kids are soft and mushy. Especially you and those damn drugs. Better not catch them in my bar. You'll be cleaning urinals out with your toothbrush. Damn kids.

I don't do drugs anymore. Now, I'll get your beer moved if you just shut up for 10 minutes.

Pyros carries a case of beer outside the bar and goes in and gets another case, he bends over to pick up another case, but he sees a pair of shoes, he stands up straight and comes face to face with Puck.

You know you'll never live it down. The boys were nice to you this time, but you heard Carl, the drugs, drugs, drugs. Yo told me you're heart was in this again, but your last promo was weak.

What do you want me to do? Come out snorting and spitting like Pain and The Ass? Oh, maybe I should be like Anus Rednuts and starting having flashbacks of stuff nobody here cares about. Jesus, Puck, maybe we should relive the old days and bring out midgets and dress in drag. Still got those trench coats, because they're back!! I know, maybe we can destroy all the jobbers and then brag all about it, then lose our ass to the main event guys. Do you think Tarja has room for another Ase in her stable? We can be Ase and Ass, the Monkey Twins!! I got it, even better, I'll grab this camera dude like this and say something stupid. Hey Eno! Carl! This Southern Dynamite, you're going to lose! Pyros is back dairy cowes! Get ready for all the high flying crap you can digest. It's all I do! Whoopee!!

Was that necessary?

Yes, Puck, it was. I'm tired of being told we're weak, and that we don't stand a chance. I'm tired of it! Ares said it, BDC said it, even our father said it. Now, it's time we show all of the R.C.W. that we're no longer the under dog. That we are the next Hog Wild Tag Team Champions!
