”A Revolution is an idea that has found bayonets”
Napoleon Bonaparte

White noise fades into shot, the dull drone buzzing progressively louder as the black and white lines ripple erratically. Before long the white noise begins to fade to black as the nCw logo begins to fade into shot in complete silence, lingering for a few seconds. Suddenly the sound of a can of spray point being shook off screen can be heard and before long specks of paint begin to appear as the letters “RV” are slowly spelled out across the top of the federation logo.
After a few more seconds the logo begins to fade to black whilst the spray paint remains and in its place appears a red, white and black tricolour waving gently in the wind before both begin to fade, being replaced with a camera shot located in a darkened studio. Inside the room is a broadcast table with a shadowed figure behind the news desk whilst the tricolour can be made out at the rear of the set. Before long “Children of the Revolution” by T-Rex begins to play and slowly but surely spotlights begin to fill the room with light to reveal Roberto Verona behind the desk dressed in a dark navy pinstripe suit, shuffling a set of papers in his hands before composing himself and looking up at the camera as it begins to zoom in closer, swooping in to place him at the centre of the screen.
Roberto Verona : Good evening and welcome to the first edition of RevolutionCast. Tonight, we take an in depth look into the nCw, a showcase for false idols, corrupt officials and talentless frauds. Also, coming up, Demetrious Young and Scotty Havok : A Cripple and A Has-Been, a special report into the nCw’s latest “stars”.
Taking a moment to adjust his tie Roberto raises himself from his seat as the camera pans out. Making his way over to a small stage Verona positions himself to the left of a flat screen TV displaying the nCw logo.
Roberto Verona : We begin tonight with a report on the state of New Championship Wrestling, a decadent and corrupt organisation with, if reports can be trusted, millions of gullible idiots across the globe tuning in each week to worship at the feet of false idols. Despite evidence to the contrary, popular opinion seems to suggest that the companies two house shows Trauma and Collision provide quality entertainment and includes a vast array of “stars”. Fortunately I can bring you the truth about nCw and reveal the secrets that the organisation’s mindless customers either refuse to acknowledge or fail to have the capacity to understand.
The nCw logo on the monitor begins to disappear, replaced by a video montage of Roxxxie’s victory over Trish Newborn, intermingled with the events of Collision where Trish Newborn attacked the nCw Women’s Champion and invoked her rematch clause and other highlights from Roxxxie’s career.
Roberto Verona : I can exclusively reveal that nCw’s Women’s Champion is the first in sports entertainment to have spent more time on her back than on her feet! Only in this most immoral of companies could the pinnacle of the female division be held by a woman who has sold more DVDs for her bouts with men than she ever has for her matches with her fellow gender, although research shows that some of her previous three-way matches with other women are still selling well. nCw apparently sees fit to reward a woman who tops search engines with the terms “bj”, “lesbian scenes” and “sex”, with “nCw” a distant, distant 12th. Clearly nCw has no objections with glorifying a woman of loose morals, but their depraved broadcasting does not end with the so-called “Punk Princess”.
Turning to face the monitor, Verona watches as the montage of Roxxxie begins to fade to be replaced by a montage of Todd Williams victory at Collision over Spyke along with a variety of cuts from his recent promo. Turning to face the camera, Verona begins to speak again.
Roberto Verona : Recently the nCw saw the return of Todd Williams, the multi-award winning millionaire who runs “Dream Productions”. Evidently the recent separation seems to have taken its toll on Williams and now the nCw affords screen time to a man who suffers from a severe bout of Ego Tourettes. Often seen spouting unintelligible garbage, Williams has been spotted repeatedly shouting his name in a futile attempt to assure himself that despite the fact his wife has left him he is still worth a damn. The nCw apparently has neglected to have this man put into care and seem determined to propel this mentally ill young gentleman into an X Championship number one contenders match, rewarding his baffling outbursts. To make matters worse they seem to believe that promoting this pussy whipped car crash is an appropriate course of action for their young male audience who have yet to find themselves under the thumb of a woman who treats them like trash. Clearly, nCw has a company policy for corrupting today’s youth. Sadly, it only gets worse. Much worse.
Once again the montage fades out to be replaced by another, this time featuring selected clips of the nCw crowd during recent events with their numerous signs in support for or against a differing array of superstars. With an unnerving look of disdain on his face Verona continues his verbal assault.
Roberto Verona : This is, perhaps, the worst thing of all about this company. The hundreds. The thousands. The millions of gormless, gullible, dim-witted, moronic “fans”. They pump their hard earned cash that have toiled all week for in their meaningless jobs, just another cog in the corporate machine, just to throw it all at a bunch of over rated prima donnas. Sure, nCw has some worthwhile “superstars” I suppose but what is most baffling is these peoples utter devotion to a multitude of men and women who can only be described as utterly average. They worship at the altar of falsehood, grovelling at the feet of pure inadequacy and they do it….for fun? They are the worse kind of people, they happily live their lives worshipping people who are undeserving of their love, accepting their mediocrity without ever trying to better themselves. Finally, with my arrival these people will be taught what it is to truly deserve worship, to have earned their respect, for what it is worth.
With this, the montage fades once more, this time to be replaced by the face of Scotty Havok. The camera slowly withdraws backwards to reveal a second monitor to Verona’s left, already displaying the face of Demetrious Young. Slowly moving between the two Roberto rubs his chin with his hand, mulling over something in his head before looking up with a clear intent in his eyes, staring deep into the camera.
Roberto Verona : And it is with this conclusion that I can bring you our special report, Demetrious Young and Scotty Havok : A Cripple and A Has-Been. For some reason nCw has seen fit to put me in the ring with these two men to prove my worth, to prove myself as a force in this business. Perhaps it is understandable that they would want the next big thing in this corrupt setup, the catalyst of revolution, to open their biggest show this month. Rest assured, I intend to send a message to everybody in this company on Sunday, one they will be forced to listen to. I aren’t here to play games, to get my ass kicked by people who aren’t even fit to grace the same air space as me or to walk away every week as an utter disgrace.
Roberto turns his head to face the image of Demetrious Young, scowling slightly as he shakes his head in amusement.
Roberto Verona : Demetrious, Demetrious, Demetrious. I must apologise for the inaccuracy of this news piece. I had hoped to describe you as “The Cripple”, an amusing little bit of satire to get one over on you and for that I apologise. I had made an error in my estimation of you, as such I have amended this item to be more accurate, and after all how else could I have integrity as an anchor? With this in mind, please accept my amended title of: Demetrious Young: Mental Cripple, a far more fitting representation.
Roberto scratches the back of his head in confusion, mulling over some sort of quandary in his head. Shaking out of his concentration Verona looks back at the camera once more.
Roberto Verona : Demetrious, I would be a fool if I didn’t ask you where exactly you get your facts from. Seriously? I mean do you get them from Fox News or something? Let me make some things abundantly clear to you. I do not need a “little fan crew”, frankly I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what the drooling Neanderthals behind those barriers think of me and quite frankly even when they inevitably do come to realise that I am the man that will open up their eyes to the realities of the world and provide them a real source of admiration I still couldn’t give a damn if the entire arena chants my name, let alone some small minority of brain dead zombies.
As for my girlfriend, despite numerous offers Demetrious I am free of the shackles of some woman dragging me down; frankly I can do without some bimbo floating around to distract me from my real goals. Who do you think I am? Rob Diamond? If you have been watching nCw for the past few weeks you’ll have discovered that having a woman in your life in this business is a far bigger pain in the ass than not having one.
In regards to my fame, I simply cannot help it if more people have woken up to the fact that I am the real deal, the next icon and the man who will revolutionise this business. Jealousy isn’t a good look on you Demetrious; you’re ugly enough as it is without turning into the incredible Slovakian Hulk.
Before continuing Roberto laughs to himself, crackling a sadistic smile.
Roberto Verona : Then of course came your coup de grâce, your pièce de résistance. You’re threat to make a name for yourself by…kicking…my…ass? Seriously? Have you listened to yourself recently? In what world will you be kicking my ass Demetrious? Your only claim to fame thus far is achieving a victory over Tommy the Cat. Tommy the freaking Cat! Pinning the nCw jobber is nothing to be proud of Demetrious, in fact I’d be pretty embarrassed about having to earn my stripes by even being in the same ring as that no mark. Let me make myself abundantly clear here: there isn’t a cat in hell’s chance you will be repeating your victory at Crossroads this weekend!
You talk about reaching the top of the mountain? Stopping at nothing to bring yourself ultimate glory? That is all very admirable Demetrious and for that I truly do compliment you but you have just met your Everest. I will give you a real lesson in pain and we will test just how much endurance you really have. I promise you Demetrious that the only thing you will be climbing this weekend is the ramp back to the dressing room after I kick your ass and the thunder of 1-2-3 rings in your ears.
Verona pauses for a moment, turning to face the second monitor with the image of Scotty Havok as a red X is drawn across Demetrious’ face on the other screen. Clearing his throat Roberto continues.
Roberto Verona : And now we come to the second focus of our special report. The Has-Been, Scotty Havok. You, Scotty, puzzle me I must be honest. For years you have fought alongside the best across an innumerable amount of companies and yet you have achieved absolutely nothing. You’re the ultimate description for second best. Yet now, as you slip well out of your prime you have decided to have your last crack at fame. Your last shot at the big time? If you couldn’t walk the walk when you were a young man Scotty what makes you think that after years of abusing your body you have what it takes to show the world what your made of? You’re a broken man and this Sunday you can just go ahead and add yet another near miss to your every expanding record of mediocrity.
Let me make a promise to you Scotty that no matter how far you go in this company you will always be one step behind me. I am younger. I am smarter. I am more talented. You may well have your experience behind you but what does it matter when it is an experience of being the epitome of a runner up? You can have your silver Scotty, because I am going for gold! You come to nCw full of hope, full of dreams but be fully aware that I will shatter all of them. This is my time, you’ve had yours and you failed then and you will fail now. Do yourself a favour and just accept that father time ticked his last tock for you years ago and try not to stand in my way, I aren’t going to go easy on you old man.
As with the picture of Demetrious a red X begins to form over Scotty Havok’s face as well as Roberto walks back towards the news desk he started from. Sitting on the edge he stares into the camera seriously.
Roberto Verona : Now for my final words of the evening. nCw, you have dwelled in a cesspit of inadequacy, filth and corruption for far too long. I am here to revolutionise this company at any cost. I don’t care who I upset, I don’t care who stands in my way. Bring on your Young Guns, your Homeless Harolds, your Maniacs, your Kanes and your Knites. I fear absolutely nobody here, my mission is enough to throw me through any hurdle you place in my way, no matter how much pain I have to endure to achieve it. I will reform this business and I will give the world a champion that truly deserves their adoration, their worship and their praise. Even if it takes me to within an inch of my life, the revolution will not fail. Take a good look at me, because I guarantee that I will do whatever it takes to be the main man around here. No. Matter What!
With that the camera begins to fade to black as the vanadalised nCw logo closes the scene, as “Children of the Revolution” by T-Rex begins to fade as the broadcast comes to an end, returning to white noise once more.
