spoilerz within!!!

 

Fade in to a dressing room. The room is packed with referees, wrestlers, road hands, and assorted people with those laminated cards that you see in the back during promos who don't actually do anything. Their chatter is separate, but are combined, causing a loud-ish hum. Theodore Moneymaker stands at the head of the room, with CPA menacing eying down anyone who dares give him a disagreeable look. Despite the fact that half the attendees are stewing with disgust for him, Moneymaker stands with a casual confidence.

MONEYMAKER
Ladies and gentlemen, I am a friend to some of you, and an enemy to many of you. I feel love in this room, and yet I also feel an intense hatred. Tonight I ask you to put aside your selfish personal beliefs and look to a better future. Yesterday was dark, horrible, and painful. Tomorrow promises light, goodness, and pleasure. But only if we work together for a better OAOAST! And only if we lend our full support to our new OAOAST President. Please welcome this fine human being... 

The room slowly goes silent as a sharply dressed business woman walks past them and stands next to a desk, where she picks up a clipboard and starts checking things. Immediately behind her walks the NEW OAOAST PRESIDENT JOSIE BAKER!~!~ The fans erupt as she walks through the crowd of people, puffing away at her cigarette. She finally reaches the desk and sits, stubbing out her cigarette as she takes off her RAY-BAN WAYFARERS!~! and looks around at the crowd of people. All eyes are on her as she clears her throat and leans back. 

JOSIE
Thank you, Theodore.. Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half the country to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new federation was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That fed is now flowing at two dozen wrestlers on the payroll and it's paying me an income of fifty thousand dollars a week. I have two others in the WWE and I have sixteen producing at OVW. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm a wrestling girl, you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to be the General Manager, maybe one in twenty will be wrestling fans; the rest will be speculators - men trying to get between you and the fans - to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to do general managing, he'll maybe known nothing about it and he'll have to hire out the job on contract, and then you're depending on a Steven Popick type that's trying to rush the job through so he can get another title shot just as quick as he can. This is the way this works. 

DOCTOR STEPHEN PIGLEY
So what is your offer? We're wasting time. 

Josie looks around the room and smiles.

JOSIE
I do my own booking. And the men that work for me, work for me and they are men I know. I make it my business to be there and see to their work. I don't lose my wrestlers to other feds and spend months finding replacements; I don't botch the Main Events and let ridiculous people get ridiculous title shots. I'm a family woman- I run a family business. This is my cousin and my partner, Sophie Grey. 

Josie indicates Sophie, who nods.

JOSIE 
We offer you the bond of family that very few General Managers can understand. I'm fixed like no other GM in this field and that's because my Coyote Hills fed has just come in. I have a string of wrestlers all ready to work. I can load a ring onto trucks and have them here in a week. I have business connections so I can get the better referees for the matches.

CLEM BUZZLEFOXER
WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?!

Moneymaker mouths the words “She didn't mean you, Clem” which is enough to get the elderly referee to be quiet and smile.

JOSIE 
...Such things go by friendship in a rush like this. And this is why I can guarantee to start managing and put up the matches to back my word. And to prove it, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce a special two month event. A first in OAOAST history, a Money In The Bank tournament! 

Surprised murmurs go up from the gathered wrestlers, as they try to gain more information about this historic event.

JOSIE
With the help of Theodore's insights into the roster and reports from my own scouting department I have selected sixteen of the OAOAST's best sports entertainers to compete for a guaranteed title shot to be used whenever they want. The finals will occur at Angleslam, and there someone will cement their legacy in the OAOAST. And as a very generous gift, Theodore has volunteered to give half a million dollars to the winner of the tournament. 

That creates quite the buzz in the audience, because lets face it, most of these dudes is broke as shit. Ned and Simon can be seen giving each other high fives at the thought of collecting more of their boss' money. Moneymaker simply stands with his same cool and casual smile, knowing that half a million dollars might be enough to cool the heat currently on him.

JOSIE
I assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there...

The people in the room nod and lightly applaud. Josie smiles wide.

JOSIE
...Punch and Pie in the room next door.

EVERYONE piles out in a rush as the camera fades to....




black. HA! GOT YOUR HOPES UP!!
