{Your screen comes on with the usual audible “pop” despite not being manually turned on. The picture settles after a momentary hiccup & a plain, dark purple rectangle fills the screen. A funeral dirge begins to play from a pipe organ as the purple begins to fade inward until it takes the form of letters…
…Behind the title, the familiar casket/couch fades into view. The organ wraps up the dirge as Didi & Scythe solemnly walk on screen. Didi casually flops down on the couch. Scythe remains stoic as he stands next to the left side of the casket/couch which Didi is seated. The two of them look out of the screen as the camera zooms in to get a tighter shot of them.}
Didi: Welcome, OCW…Welcome to another edition of “The Obituary Section”.
Scythe: Hi, boys & girls.
Didi: We have a guest scheduled for this episode. Someone with firsthand knowledge of the events transpiring in OCW. A man who was an active participant in the abduction of OCW board member & General Manager, Tate Young. Our guest is a cTn member who has benefited more from their machinations than most…Mr. Warren Peace.
{The unseen pipe organ begins to play an instantly recognizable version of "Own Little World" by Celldweller. The camera pans to the right as Warren Peace emerges from behind a dark purple curtain. The camera follows him to the casket/couch. He stares at Scythe as he sits down next to Didi before looking to her. Didi fixes Warren with an icy stare before turning back to the camera.}
Didi: Mr. Peace & I have had some recent involvement…Poetry recitals & other such cultural pursuits…That IS NOT why I have asked him to appear on “The Obituary Section”.(turns to Warren) Mr. Peace, you possess one half of the OCW Tag Team Titles. Titles that you did not earn. Despite Tate Young’s best efforts, The Creatures of the Night managed to secure all of OCW’s titles…except the Tag Team Title. Yet they felt it necessary to flaunt their newfound power & strip the rightful champions of their belts, obviously damaging James Bowen’s, already fragile, psyche…Forcing him into, yet another, hiatus. Yourself & Renegade were the beneficiaries of this chicanery, so I ask you, Mr. Peace: How does it feel to be propped up as The cTn’s only “paper” champion?
{Warren has his eyes fixated on Didi the whole time, unwilling (or perhaps unable) to concentrate on anything else in the room. He gives a nervous smile before beginning to speak.}
Warren: I think the Kings of Hardcore's record in the ring speaks for itself. Renegade and myself have been undefeated since forming our partnership. We have dominated the tag team division in recent weeks, so who better to showcase the cTn and OCW than the most exciting, charismatic and revolutionary tag team to grace the squared circle in the entire history of OCW? True, many consider us unworthy to hold these titles, but you have to admit, The Kings of Hardcore always put on a great show whenever they're involved! However, the Administration chose to ignore us, despite our successes in the ring, and The Kings of Hardcore never got the opportunity they deserved to compete for the titles. JC Malicious recognized our ability and saw fit to award the titles we would've won earlier if we had been given our rightful chance.
Didi: Apparently, Craig “Hellrat” Schaffner, does not agree. According to him, his match against Renegade & yourself should be a title match…I would be inclined to agree with him…were he still combined with James Bowen. Perhaps a good showing can earn him a title match at another time.
Scythe: One way or another, you’ll have to put your belts on the line at the pay per view…
Warren: Schaffner? What has he ever done that warrants a title opportunity? I may be a Creature of the Night, but I am one of the few competitors left in OCW who has any pride in wearing championship gold. People like Schaffner are a disgrace to this business; they see the gold as some kind of status symbol, something to impress the ladies with. The administration has bowed down to these so called stars of OCW in the past and granted title shots to any old ... what do you call them ... short-timers? It's about time that all the belts were treated with the respect they deserve; people need to start earning their opportunities to compete for the belts, rather than crying to Tate Young about how they "deserve" to wear the gold.
Scythe: So TWO matches was enough for “The Kings of Hardcore” to “deserve” the title?
Warren: When a belt is at stake, the audience want to see the best this business has to offer. And the Kings of Hardcore are exactly that; the best in the business. To prove that, we will defend our titles at the upcoming Pay Per View, once we have identified two competitors who have worked hard and earned the right to face us. It's about time the various championships were made a bit more exclusive, don't you think?
Didi: Exclusive to who? The cTn? Speaking of The Creatures of the Night, I would like to move on to a more recent topic…The abduction of Tate Young. (she fixes Warren with another icy stare) You took an active role in his abduction, Mr. Peace. In fact, Renegade & you provided Nitro’s testicles with their second out of competition beating in less than a week during the commotion.
Scythe: …Poor guy may NEVER have kids...
Didi: …But let us not get lost in the minor events…Scythe & I are concerned with WHY The cTn felt it needed to kidnap Mr. Young. As a cTn member who participated in their actions at Adrenaline, Mr. Peace, you must have firsthand knowledge of why Mr. Young was taken… What did you, honestly, hope to gain by absconding with him?
{Warren Peace sits straight up, stoically staring at Didi.}
Scythe: I don’t think he wants to tell us…or he can’t…Whatsamatter, Warren, The Bumps in the Night don’t trust you enough?
{Warren flashes a hard stare up to Scythe, who just flashes a hideous grin back to Peace.}
Scythe: Wait, I know…he wants to hear poetry…I’ve got one:
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
{Didi & Warren look at each other & shake their heads. The two of them look over to Scythe who is ginning like the village idiot. Didi’s mouth curls into an evil smile upon seeing Scythe’s obvious glee. She turns back to Warren, still smiling.}
Didi: Mr. Peace, before Scythe starts quoting Shel Silverstein, would you like to answer the question now?
{Didi & Scythe move their smiling faces closer to Warren in a mock show of trying to hear him. Warren sits quietly for a few seconds as he ponders the questions posed to him. He clears his throat, and looks directly into Didi's eyes as he begins to speak.}
Warren: I would've thought someone of your intelligence, Miss Didi, would have realized by now that Tate Young is no good for this business…
{Warren breaks the stare with Didi and turns towards Scythe.}
Warren: And Scythe, you make a point of ridiculing the Creatures of the Night week in, week out, but don't you yourself thrive on the same kind tactics? You are a self-proclaimed "monster" of OCW, so how exactly are you any different to us? And seeing as you appear to have caught the poetry bug in recent weeks, perhaps you will enjoy this little excerpt?
I’m sick of the scaring, the terror, the fright.
I’m tired of being something that goes bump in the night.
I’m bored with leering my horrible glances,
And my feet hurt from dancing those skeleton dances.
I don’t like graveyards, and I need something new.
There must be more to life than just yelling, ‘Boo!’
Scythe: Sounds, to me, like someone has lost his appreciation for the finer things in life. What’s that, Warren? The alternate lyrics to “My Favorite Things”? Ok, if it’s gonna be poetry corner, here’s one for ya…
Didi (interrupting): Spare us your profane limericks, Scythe. (looking back to Peace) We thank you for your time & insights, Mr. Peace. Despite Scythe’s lack of hospitality, we do appreciate you coming by. Good luck with your match at Overdrive…I’m sure many in OCW will be watching it with much interest.
{Didi extends her hand to shake Warren’s. He gently takes her hand & raises it to his lips, gently pecking the back of her hand with a kiss. Warren rises, eyes fixed on Scythe, and exits the room. Didi looks back out of the screen.}
Didi: That is all of our time for this episode of “The Obituary Section”…in fact, we’ve gone beyond our time. Our thanks again to Warren Peace for visiting with us & answering some of our questions… Goodnight, OCW…See you soon.
{The funeral dirge begins to play from the unseen pipe organ as Didi’s smirking face fades from the screen. Your television turns itself back off as soon as the screen fades to black.}
