COLE
And coming up, we've go...

Suddenly, boos ring out in the arena, forcing Michael Cole to trail off. Through the entrance way walk Theodore Moneymaker and Christian Wright, the One And Only World Tag Team Champions. And they're not dressed to compete.

MONEYMAKER
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm afraid I have some bad news.

The Billion Dollar Heir waits for some quiet.

MONEYMAKER
Earlier tonight, I promised you all a 6-Man Tag Team Title rematch. And it looks like you got it. Earlier tonight, I also promised a One And Only Tag Title defence, seeing as I was in such a good mood. Well, as you can plainly see... I am no longer in a good mood. Which is why, as of right now, that scheduled title defence has been CANCELLED!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
What!? Can he do that?

COACH
Of course he can, he's Theodore Moneymaker!

MONEYMAKER
Atfer the events of earlier tonight, myself and Christian feel it wouldn't be wise to compete in the current climate. On behalf of The Enterprise, I will be lodging an official enquiry into just how we were robbed of our 6-Man Tag Team Championships. And we will not be competing out of protest at the injustice. Thank you.


.:CUE: "Medal":.

COLE
Uh-oh!

Moneymaker freezes as sure enough, the doors part behind him and ANGLESAULT appears to the roaring reception!! After a brief acknowledgment of the cheers, AS turns to Moneymaker and shakes his head.

ANGLESAULT
You know, you really do keep putting us all in a tough position, don't you? Here I was, expecting a big Tag Team Title match tonight. I go out and I try to put the word out, get anyone stupid enough to miss the show this week to tune in. And you bait and switch? Well 'Theodore', you have your way. For now. You don't have to defend your titles tonight because to be honest, what happened earlier really shouldn't have.

MONEYMAKER
You're damn right it shouldn't!

ANGLESAULT
And I feel a little guilty about it. Only a little mind you. So, no title match tonight.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

ANGLESAULT
BUT... see, we were expecting one. So I had been in the process of sorting that match out. After what happened earlier, I cancelled your big plans, out of fairness to yourselves. And I put out an open challenge to find a set of challengers, which was understandably answered pretty quickly. So, in my office, we have an open challenge, signed and answered, to face you for the Tag Team Titles. Tonight isn't good for you? In which case, we'll re-arrange and you WILL be defending those titles, next week in Honolulu, Hawaii!

Rolling his eyes, Moneymaker ponders how this night could get any worse as AngleSault begins to leave.

ANGLESAULT
Oh! I almost forgot. The team that answered the challenge... were COD!!

"YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

COLE
ALRIGHT!!

COACH
You've got to be ki...

MONEYMAKER
NO! NO, DAMNIT NO!

AS looks shocked at being spoke back to and stops from leaving again.

MONEYMAKER
This isn't fair! And after what happened earlier on, you want to start being fair to me Mr. Anglesault. Because you see, there's another group of people in my life that don't play fair, my lawyers! And I won't hesitate in hanging you out to dry like an Eddie Murphy paternity suit, so help me!

ANGLESAULT
I think you and your lawyers will find we've got a legal binding contract with Krista and Alix.

MONEYMAKER
Fine, but if you give them a title shot, it's on our terms. We choose the match. We choose... we choose the [i]referee[/i], since your officials can't seem to distinguish between an anorexic masked man and a boyband wanabee and who's in a match and who isn't! We'll take those Chicks Over Dicks on, but on the one condition, Mackenzie DeCenzo is the referee!

ANGLESAULT
If that's what it takes, fine.

MONEYMAKER
Fine. Then you've got your match!

AngleSault nods and finally heads off, "Medal" playing as Moneymaker and Wright are left on stage frustrated with the way their day continues to go.

COLE
What an announcement. We've got a World Title match, now a World Tag Title match, both next week here on HeldDOWN~! from Honolulu, what a show that promises to be!!
