I was talking in the C-Box with a few others about another RP I used to do that was pretty intricate--It had me belting out like 9,000 words in a single RP. So, I don't know, I felt inclined to show you some of my work. Read it if you want, and let me know what you think. It would also help if you watch pro wrestling, but I won't ask too much. 
***Tommy Dreamer walks back to his locker room in the Georgia Technological University, tired after his long, difficult match against Booker T, Elijah Burke, and Stephanie McMahon. Still, there is a sense of satisfaction within Dreamer. Tommy knows that he and X-Pac went out there with a purpose, and they put on a show that the crowds in Georgia will be talking about for years to come. Yet something was missing? What could it be? Was it the thought that so much had yet to be accomplished? Yes, that must be it Dreamer thought. Dreamer walks over to a black, fold out chair in the corner of the locker room and he grabs a white towel that is conveniently placed over it. He takes and wipes the sweat from his forehead. Dreamer then cringes in pain as he limps over to his duffel bag. He takes off his shirt, only to be confronted by the smell of sweat dripping from his body.***

(grimacing at the smell of his body odor) We did well out there today. Now, it’s up to Vickie Guerrero to give us that title shot that the Extreme Revolution rightfully deserves. (Dreamer thinks to himself “I wonder if Beulah was watching me? He smirks and nods his head in an affirmative action) Lets not worry about those things, Tommy. Let’s take a shower, go back to the hotel, and crash. [/color]
***Tommy Dreamer walks over to a door that leads to the bathroom that the GT Basketball team uses for team showers. He opens the door, and proceeds to go in and turn on the water in one of the showers. He undresses near the shower, and then proceeds to wet his head. The warm water running down his body soothes his aching muscles, and Tommy lets out a deep sigh of relief. The match was over. Tommy did what he needed to do. “I am at the top of my game” he thought to himself. Just then, the door leading to the bathroom opens and X-Pac walks in. He is in the nude as well and he occupies a shower next to Dreamer.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey man, great job out there. We were on the top of our game, and damn, Candice, she sure was fine. The ending to that match was priceless. (laughing) And Booker T’s face after I superkicked Elijah’s teeth down his throat was great. That will teach Booker not to mess with the Extreme Revolution.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Heh, right you are X-Pac. Elijah and Booker realized tonight that cheating will not be tolerated. I am glad you came through for me tonight. After Stephanie kicked me in the back, illegally might I add, I thought Elijah would have picked the bones easily. If it wasn’t for Candice and yourself, I would have been laid out in the center of the ring and it would have been an easy three count. I felt for a second that the pep talk Terry gave me at the Pizza shop this afternoon was all for not. Then, I saw you come in and Superkick Elijah, and all those thoughts went away. X-Pac, you always told me that I had more skill than you, but I think you discredit yourself. You are a great athlete. You wouldn’t be in ICW if you weren’t. You saved my ass out there tonight. [/color]
*X-Pac smiles at the recognition Tommy gives him.*
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Don’t mention it. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Taking the soap from off the ledge, Dreamer proceeds to clean the sweat off his body) Though I can’t help but wonder if Vickie Guerrero was impressed. Then again, I saw her pigging out on spaghetti earlier, so I am sure with all that food in her system, she didn’t even wake up while Warzone was on. Eh, what are you going to do? (Tommy finishes washing himself with the bar of soap. He hands it to X-Pac, who uses it in the same manner Dreamer did)[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
No, she was awake during the whole thing. I know because afterwards she told me I was in the main event this week. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I must have impressed her if she put me in the main event this week. So stop worrying. You worry too much, you know that, right?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Letting out a small laugh) No, I really never took into consideration how much I worry. I guess there is just so much going through my mind. Anyway, we are in the main event this week? Really, heh, seems like Vickie and Bischoff finally came to their senses, and it’s about time too. So, tell me this X-Pac, who are we up against this week? Booker T and X-Pac in a number one contenders match? Christian Cage and Randy Orton for the tag team titles? Who would have thought after a month in ICW, we would be on top of the tag team division. (Tommy Dreamer takes the “Herbal Essence” Shampoo from off the shower rack. He proceeds to lather his hair with it.)[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(With a nervous tone) Well…you see…you aren’t exactly in the match?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What? Why? I’m not booked at all? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Still with the nervous tone) Well…I never exactly said you weren’t booked. You are. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Really? Thank God, I feel as if I am unbeatable right now. So, where am I on the card? Let me guess, upper mid card, right? I must have impressed Vickie. (Trying to rephrase his last sentence) We must have impressed Vickie. I mean, you’re in the main event for crying out loud.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
No, you see, you aren’t. After our match last week, Stephanie McMahon was infuriated. I was in Vickie’s office when she told me about my match, and well, she was mumbling something. Well, it was a great deal of something. She said something about making Dreamer pay. And seeing as she is now in cahoots with that Montel Vontavious Porter fellow, Vickie Guerrero put you in a match with him. Stephanie smiled in glee, as you can imagine. Oh, and it’s the first match on the card.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Tommy finishes lathering his hair. He slowly rinses the shampoo from his hair) First match on the card? You have got to be kidding me? You are kidding me right?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I wish I was. Believe me, I would love going into that main event with you by my side. Sadly, it won’t be like that. Trust me though, Montel Vontavious Porter is over confident. Despite being a world champion in the past, he is cocky. He will make a few mistakes out there, you watch. I know you Tommy, you will win easily.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t get too overconfident about me, X-Pac. Overconfidence kills. Montel will learn that very soon. World’s Greatest Athlete, who is he kidding? I may not beat MVP come next week, but I will be damned if he is able to call me an old washed up has been after our match. But you know X-Pac, I do find it rather humorous that everyone who I have faced in the past thinks I will be an easy opponent. I mean, I think the only one of my opponents to actually give me credit for all I have done was D’Lo Brown. Even then, I can’t really say much about him, seeing as he tried to take me out with a steel chair. Then there was Charlie Haas, the only man so far to back up what he has said in that ring. Charlie however, I still have no respect for that man. I show concern for him and Torrie, and what does he go and do? He takes a few cheap shots after the match. Then you have Shad, a man who had the audacity to say I wasn’t extreme to my face. Soon enough though, Shad was swallowing his own teeth. Then there was Booker T and Elijah Burke. You know, they say they respect us, but what they show in that ring is anything but respect. I mean, X-Pac, if they truly respected us, would they have cheated to pick up the win in that ring against you? Would they have cheated in our last match to beat us? Furthermore, would they go as far to call us old and washed up in that ring? I mean, Booker told me last week that I shouldn’t even be teaming with you. Well, I guess we showed him tonight that you and I are on the same page, unlike Booker T and himself. Next week, I have the self proclaimed greatest athlete this world has ever seen. Give me a break! These superstars today have no respect for one another. Now back in my day, in the ECW days, that locker room was family. Despite us having our differences in the ring, we would still go out late at night and have a couple cold ones after the show. Those men were true athletes, not these men like MVP. This new wave of athletes makes me sick. That is why I found you in the first place X-Pac. So we could show the world that men like us extremists could put on a show in that ring. So far, we have proved every doubter wrong. We proved Rene Dupree wrong, we proved Hassan wrong, and we have been proving Burke and Booker wrong every night we step in that ring. And next week, we have our chance to do it separately. If I can keep up my right of intensity in that ring against Montel, I think I can make him take back everything and anything he says in that ring next week. Though next week isn’t just about me. It’s about you, X-Pac. Who exactly are you facing anyways?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well it’s not just who I am facing, it’s who are we facing. It’s a six man tag match. I am teaming with the Rock and D’Lo to take on Joey Ryan, James Keenan, and guess who? Booker T! I can’t wait to give that Booker character a taste of the X marks the spot, just like I did Elijah Burke tonight. But enough about my match, you do know that Stephanie McMahon is coming down to ringside with Montel right? She is definitely going to do anything in her power to secure Montel the win. Trust me, I know her. Back in the old days, she was Triple H’s ex-wife. The same Triple H that was the founder of D-Generation X. She will do anything, and I mean anything to get the victory for her boy. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
But, X-Pac, Montel and Stephanie aren’t even dating. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Tommy, do you really believe that for a second? I mean, I know Stephanie McMahon. Who the hell hasn’t that woman dated? Who hasn’t that women slept with? She is a five dollar whore; even then, I am pricing her way too high. Trust me, she will do whatever it takes to secure MVP a win. [/color]
***Just then, Tommy’s phone rings. It’s a generic ring, mainly for the fact that Tommy doesn’t like ring tones. Tommy goes quickly to answer the phone. He turns off the water. Remotely dries himself off, and gets to the phone at the last ring. X-Pac looks on in disbelief as Tommy answers the phone nude***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Hello? (A small gap separates the receptionist’s voice from Tommy’s. The woman on the other end, from what X-Pac can make out is an old frail, bitter woman. She seems rather cruel. By the tone of her voice, it doesn’t even seem like she wants to be working) What? What do you mean that the McMahon’s bought out the Extreme Revolution’s private jet? How the hell do you expect me to make it to next week’s show if I have no mode of transportation? What do you mean does it look like you care? Lady, this is your job. You are supposed to care about what the customer wants. Right now, I want our private jet back. What do you mean Stephanie McMahon gave you a great offer to buy it. I had that baby paid off. Not only was I going to Iowa for Warzone next week, but I was planning on showing my wife the plane. We were going to the Bahamas for our anniversary. And you, you took that all away from me for what? What do you mean they paid two billion dollars for it? I don’t care if they paid seven hundred trillion dollars, that jet was mine! Settle down?! Settle down?! Wait until your private jet is taken from you, then we will see how you react. Well, I can assure you I will not go quietly. This is absurd. You will hear from me again. GOOD BYE![/color]
***Dreamer clicks the off button on his phone and slams it down on the bench. X-Pac, who had been listening in on the conversation, turns the shower off and walks over to Dreamer.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I’m sorry man, but when I said Stephanie McMahon would do anything to get the win, I meant it. Seems like she is trying to get you not even to compete. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Tell me, X-Pac, do you know your way to Iowa? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Puzzled) No, why?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, I guess you are going to find out. I’m calling for a rental car. We are driving up to Iowa together.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Agreeing) Sounds like fun. Hey Tommy, if it’s not too late to ask, after the match, I was approached by a couple of girls. A couple of smoking hot girls. They said they wanted to treat us to one hell of a night. So, I’m in, are you?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I just lost one of my most valuable possessions, and you want to go to a bar with a couple of ladies.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Great plan, I know. So, you in?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I’m married. Besides, I don’t exactly feel like partying. I’m going to go back to the hotel and crash.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(A little upset over Dreamer not going with him) Hey, whatever dude. Your loss. [/color]
***X-Pac and Tommy finish getting dressed in silence. They leave the Georgia Technological Center in silence as well. The night for Tommy is a rather quiet one. He goes back to the Marriot, and falls asleep rather quickly. X-Pac however, goes out to a bar in downtown Atlanta with a couple of brunettes. He stays out until around three in the morning. Drunk, he too returns to the Marriot. ***
End of Scene 1 [/u]
Scene 2 - Life is a Highway, I want to ride it…to Iowa[/u]
***It is now Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. Tommy Dreamer and X-Pac are making preparations for their road trip to Iowa. X-Pac stands outside his rental car, a green SUV, which is sitting in the Marriot’s parking lot. Tommy Dreamer opens the door from the Marriot and walks out. It is a crisp August morning. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. Industrial Waste is being spewed into the air by Atlanta’s factories. All is wonderful. Tommy is wearing a black shirt with the ICW logo on it. He also has jeans on. X-Pac is wearing a retro DX shirt with jeans as well. On X-Pac’s wrist, is a beautiful, solid gold watch. Tommy Dreamer has in his hand a cup of decaf coffee with a pinch of sugar. X-Pac is standing by the SUV, pouring gas from a red container into the gas tank. He spots Tommy Dreamer, and heads over to him.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey Tommy. (X-Pac looks over to the SUV in admiration) She sure is a beauty ain’t she? I call her, The Walt-Mobile.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
The Walt Mobile? (Tommy laughs as he takes a sip of his coffee. It’s rather strong, and Tommy makes an odd looking face to get it down his throat.)You mean to say you named our car?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Why not? It sounded like a cool name at the time. Oh, Tommy, I stopped at Sonic while you were getting up. Got us a couple of breakfast burritos. There in the car, want to chow down before we hit the road?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Sonic? (Tommy is nauseated just at the thought of Sonic’s food) You mean that drink place with the artificial food?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yeah. They have awesome breakfast food. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Thanks, but no thanks. I’d rather not be sick on the way to Iowa.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey, your loss. More for me.[/color]
***With that, X-Pac chow downs the two breakfast burritos. They both get into the green SUV. X-Pac takes the key from the car and slides it into the ignition. He gets a feel for the car quickly. X-Pac then puts his hands in the ten and two position on the wheel and begins to back out. So far so good. He is out of the parking spot now as he pulls out of the parking lot. X-Pac puts his turn signal on, and pulls into traffic. He immediately steps on the accelerator with force. The SUV goes flying at sixty miles per hour down the two lane street. Tommy Dreamer looks frantic.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, what the hell are you doing.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Taking his eyes off the road) I’m driving, what does it look like I am doing?[/color]
***X-Pac puts his eyes back on the road, only to find out that he has swerved through a lane of traffic. He quickly corrects the error before he collides with another car. He then takes his hand off the steering wheel and wipes off a droplet of sweat.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, to me, it looks like you are violating traffic laws, and breaking the speed limit. Its thirty five down this road, you know that, right? X-Pac, you do have your license don’t you?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yeah, I do. Failed the test though. You know, around five times. I wasn’t the best driver, not by a long shot. (X-Pac eases the pressure from the accelerator and the car slows down to the speed limit)[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You don’t say? Well, X-Pac, let’s just get to Iowa in one piece. [/color]
***After this line, the car goes quiet. X-Pac’s driving becomes significantly more defensive instead of offensive. They get on the highway and begin their long trip up to Iowa. X-Pac has the radio on as Tommy Dreamer falls asleep. X-Pac loves the drive to Iowa. The Southern scenery at the moment is crisp and beautiful. Besides, the occasional driver with road rage, could this trip be any better? They continue to drive on for around five hours. It is no lunch time and they are in the middle of Tennessee. X-Pac however, is still full from his breakfast burritos, and Tommy, well Tommy is still fast asleep in the car. X-Pac is becoming increasingly bored, he tries to wake up Tommy.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(taking one hand off the wheel to shake Tommy) Tommy, wake up man. Your snoring is rather annoying. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What? Why? Come on, X-Pac, I was up all night watching tape on MVP.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So I take it you missed what happened on Showdown, right? [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Still groggy) Better question for you X-Pac, am I supposed to care what happened on Showdown?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well, I thought you would considering Randy Orton and Christian Cage were on it. They came out at the beginning of the show and rambled on and on about how they were the greatest tag team to ever live. You know, the same shit they come out to talk about week after week after week. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Pulling his seat up so he can talk with X-Pac) Didn’t Christian have a title defense against Edge?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yes, Edge lost. It made me really doubt that we could beat them. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t doubt X-Pac. Doubt only leads to failure. You have to be confident going into a match. You see Christian and Orton come out week after week and talk about how great they are. They have confidence. Maybe their confidence borders on cockiness, but it nevertheless is confidence. If we are to ever beat them, we need to come in to the match thinking we have a chance. I know, Cage and Orton are at the top of their games. I mean, look at them. Randy Orton beat Matt Striker, Robert Roode, and Raven to win that title. Right now, it looks like no one can beat him. The wrestling sites say no one can beat him. He is a legend killer, and now he is looking to destroy anyone who gets in the way of killing his legend. X-Pac, you and I are legends in our own right. He will no doubt be looking for us if and win we get that number one contenders match. And if and when we win it, he will be looking to end our careers. Christian Cage beat Edge tonight, big deal. I have fought Edge in many of matches, and despite how tough that man is, he isn’t unbeatable. I never beat him, sure, but I came damn close to beating him. Edge is one hardcore dude, but Christian, he is cocky. He talks the talk like there is no tomorrow. Worst part is, he can back it up. Together, they are one of the best tag teams on Showdown. (X-Pac quickly interjects that they are the only tag team on Showdown) What? I thought the Celtic Killers were a tag team. I guess Finlay finally got sick of Gildor, or whatever his name was. It’s a shame too, those two men had serious potential. They just could not win a match. They weren’t on the same page. You see X-Pac, if we are to win against Randy and Christian; we need to be a single and cohesive unit. Not only do you have to be as one, but we have to be on the top of our games. Randy and Christian, those two men are good, but they aren’t the best. We can prove that. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So guess who else was in action? [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Who? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Raven. He beat Mark Jude, whoever the hell that is. It looked like Hassan, but even then, I have no idea why he changed his name.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You got me on that one, X-Pac. Maybe Hassan was looking for a fresh start. I mean, he hasn’t been doing his best out in that ring lately. He used to be one of the best. He would never take shit from anyone, but now, now he is losing to men like Raven. I sort of figured Raven could beat him though. I mean, I have only beaten Raven twice in all my years of wrestling. He is one hell of an athlete. But. But. Raven still is nowhere close to the person I am. You see, X-Pac, this grudge between him and I started awhile back. Before I even got into the wrestling business. It started when we were kids. Raven was constantly jealous of me. It was always because I had Beulah and he didn’t. Throughout high school, Raven’s gang of mindless lackies always used to pick on me. They would throw me into lockers, and beat the crap out of me on a regular basis. All because of Beulah. The friendship we had before we met Beulah, well, we couldn’t even think about it anymore. Or at least I couldn’t. There is too much bad blood between him and I. Raven will always be a coward to me. Nothing more or nothing less. Every time Raven beat me it was by cheating. He could not get a clean win if he tried. But hey, I got to give it to him, it’s extreme rules. Anything goes. He was just doing whatever it takes to get the win. Still though, the countless cheap shots he took on me, the countless men he turned against me, the countless women he had use me, the countless beatings he gave me, and the countless verbal abusing he used my name in only fueled the hate I had for that man. As for his victory tonight, am I surprised he got the win. No, not at all. I know what that man is capable of, and I know what Jude is capable of. I have been in the ring with both of them. In the long run, Raven gave me more losses than anyone I have ever faced. Raven has always proved to me that he was hardcore. He has introduced new ways of pain and violence that even I, the Innovator of Violence, could not think of. Still, Raven is one sick, twisted, and cancerous being, who I feel I could never respect.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Speaking of respect though Tommy, Tuesday on MSW, some weird looking lanky guy who I have never heard or seen before came out. His name was Colin something. He was asking Bischoff for a contract, and well, he said some rather mean things about you.[/color]
***Dreamer knows exactly who X-Pac is talking about. It’s Colin Delaney, a man who has a lot of history with Tommy, almost as much as Raven does. Tommy Dreamer becomes curious.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What exactly did Colin say about me? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well he said you were a pretty boy. The type of man that your mom would want you to bring home, yet you couldn’t wrestle your way out of a paper bag. Oh, and he said that you held him down. That you made him a nice guy, and that nice guys finish last. The guy is obviously an idiot Tommy, don’t let it go to your head. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
I’m not letting it go to my head X-Pac. Not at all. You see, I helped Colin break in to the wrestling industry. I got him on his feet so to speak. He wasn’t that talented. Well, to put it frankly, he didn’t have any talent. He wasn’t a good technician. He wasn’t good with mat skills. He wasn’t good with, well, wrestling. I still gave the kid a chance. I saw in him drive. I saw in him passion. I saw in him the same passion I see in you X-Pac. I taught that kid everything I knew about the sport of wrestling, and then some. I gave that kid a chance. I gave that kid a future, and when I finally got a chance at gold, what does he do? He turns on me! I have as much respect for Colin Delaney as I do for Raven. Colin says it’s nice guys that finish last, no. That is farther from the truth. It’s people who don’t give it their all in that ring that finish last. For the longest time, I thought Colin was giving it his all, but I must be mistaken. You see Colin wants to say I am a loser, but I have more passion than he ever will. If he thinks for one second, that Bischoff will want him in this business he is wrong. Hell, I had a hard enough time getting into this business myself Colin was associated with me, and that is all the reason Bischoff needs not to hire him. When Colin gets into ICW, he will find out that the competition is even tougher here. The wrestling world isn’t easy to make it into. Even if you can make it in the business, there is no guarantee that you will succeed. To succeed, you need passion. Something that you and I have. Something that Colin doesn’t. X-Pac, I couldn’t be happier teaming with you. It seems that every other one of my partners have gone rogue on me. I mean, first I go with Colin, and he screws me over. Then I try teaming with Nosawa, accidentally got him fired, and now he hates me. Hell, now even Rob Van Dam is gone. The only things I have left in this business is my love for wrestling, my passion, and my best friend, you. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(X-Pac becomes nervous) Well, Tommy, I haven’t been completely honest with you. You see, when I told you last week that I felt I lost my passion. Well, I asked Eric if I could cut ties with the business. After you talked to me though, I told him that I wanted to stay. I really hope that doesn’t upset you.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, I can’t say I don’t feel a little betrayed, but you know what X-Pac, it took a lot of courage to tell me that. I know, at some times, this business can seem tough. I know at times that I have felt that I want to quit this business myself. But you know what separates you and I from the likes of other wrestlers. We don’t walk away. You had every opportunity to leave X-Pac, but you made the decision to stay. That took a lot of courage. And look where we are now, we pulled out an amazing victory over Stephanie McMahon, Booker T, and Elijah Burke. A victory that everyone around us thought was a lost cause. No one thought we could win, but we did. It was all thanks to you, X-Pac. You saved our ass out there, you know that? And while this news is shocking to me, I am also so relieved you chose to stay. You see X-Pac, this is what separates us from other tag teams. We talk out our problems. I know I don’t hide anything from you, and you certainly don’t hide anything from me. That in itself allows us to act as one. It allows us to be on not only the same page in the wrestling ring, but it allows us to be on the same page outside the ring. You see teams like the Celtic Killers and Randy Orton and Christian Cage, and they always seem to be in some type of argument when they aren’t in that ring. They always seem to be bickering about something. Then you have the Blood Brothers, and to be quite honest, I have no idea what is going on in Elijah Burke’s mind let alone Booker T. But then you have us, we can talk about anything. We are best friends. And you know X-Pac, I have never been happier to be teaming with someone than I am now, teaming with the likes of you. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Thanks man, I appreciate that. And I feel better knowing your ok with my decisions. [/color]
***Tommy looks around, puzzled as to what state they are in.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Say, X-Pac, do you know where we are?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well, for one thing, we sure aren’t in Kansas anymore. (Grins as his terrible joke) Actually man, I think we are somewhere in Kentucky. And man, I am not feeling well…
[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Concerned) Why man, what’s wrong? Do you need me to drive?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Nah man, I’m good. I think it’s that Sonic I had for breakfast. It went right through my system…and…well…now I have to…well…I got to poop.[/color]
***Tommy looks out the window. He can only see miles of corn. He shakes his head.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Where do you expect us to find a rest stop in the middle of nowhere?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I don’t know, but there is a little shack over there. (X-Pac motions with his finger)I’m going to pull over, see if they will let me use their bathroom.[/color]

Scene 3-Kentucky Fried Extremists[/u]
***X-Pac and Tommy pull off to the side of the road. They notice a pathway through the field of maze. X-Pac motions Tommy to enter the pathway. The two enter the path and begin to walk what seems like miles. They finally come across a house that is built upon a hill. Well, it is a house, but it looks more like a dilapidated shack. It’s built out of beige siding, which is scratched, torn, or even missing in some places. A few shingles lay on the ground beneath their feat. In the drive sits a red Ford truck. By the truck, is a doghouse that is unoccupied at the time. X-Pac and Tommy walk up to the front door.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I have a bad feeling about this.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
What, so now your Han Solo all the sudden? Trust me, everything will be fine.[/color]
***X-Pac bangs his hand up against the screen door to the shack. He waits for around two minutes, then hears an old ladies voice saying “Clem, can you get the door?” The man seems to ignore her at first, until she yells his name even louder. The door swings open to reveal and old, short, stocky man. He is wearing a red buttoned shirt, with overalls and suspenders on. Sitting on his head is a truckers cap with a John Deer logo on it. Dirt is caked all over his outfit. His face is rather disheveled looking. He has a large, stubby nose, beaty eyes, and a horrendous five o’clock shadow. X-Pac feels a small amount of trepidation as Tommy stands back, smiling in delight.***
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Whadyall want? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Rather upnerved) Um, sir, well…[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Interjecting) He would like to know if he could use the bathroom, sir. [/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Bathroom? What, do you take us for city folk? Aw shucks, we do have an outhouse out in the spelt field, you are free to use that.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Puzzled) A spelled field? What the hell is a spelled field? I mean, I have heard of a Reading Rainbow, but a spelled field?[/color]
***Tommy can’t help but laugh a little at X-Pac’s illiteracy.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, spelt is another name for wheat. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Embarrassed) Oh… (X-Pac turns back to Clem, still embarrassed) And where is this spelt field?[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
I reckon’ you two aren’t from Kentucky. Well this here spelt field is out back, don’t get yourself lost, now.[/color]
***The old redneck laughs as X-Pac proceeds to walk out back into an endless maze of wheat. The old man laughs at the two city slickers. He then spits the dip he had in his mouth out onto the dirt beneath him. Tommy Dreamer stands by the house, waiting for X-Pac. All of a sudden, a head pops up from behind Clem. It’s a rather curious figure, who stands behind the old redneck, staring mindlessly at Dreamer, trying to ascertain the unusual presence. Dreamer notices this, and confronts whoever it is.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Trying to act friendly) Hey there, who are you?[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Well, go on. Introduce yourself.[/color]
?[/u]
Hi…My name is Eugene. [/color]
***The boy comes out from the shadows to reveal the confused face of Eugene, Eric Bischoff’s nephew. Of course, Tommy is laughing on the inside at the thought of Eric’s brother being a hillbilly, but at the same time Tommy wants to give Eugene someone to talk to.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well hello there Eugene, my name is Tommy. Tommy Dreamer.[/color]
***Eugene’s jaw drops at the sight of the extremist in disbelief. He is soon filled with uncontrollable excitement.***
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God, Tommy Dreamer! The Innovator of Violence! A Former ECW Champion! Oh My God! My Uncle Eric has told me all about you! He said I am as smart as one of your fans! [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Trying to mount a comeback for Eugene’s comment) Really? Wow, you must be really smart then![/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Yah, I went to an ECW show one time. It was the bestest time I ever had. I don’t like the Sandman though, he hurt me.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well Eugene, did you do something to him that would make him want to hurt you.[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
(Thinking rather hard) Umm…I don’t remember.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
That’s ok. Say Eugene, have you been watching ICW?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Mmmmhmmm…I love ICW. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You do? What is your favorite part of ICW?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
The Rock! (Cheap Imitation) If you smellaough what the Rock is cooking![/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
That’s a pretty good impression Eugene, but I have to ask you, what do you think of my matches?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Umm…(Thinking Hard) I don’t really watch you. Uncle Eric says that if I watch you, whats left of my brain will rot.[/color]
***Clem, seeing Eugene embarrassing Tommy, interjects Eugene and Tommy’s conversation.***
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Eugene, let me talk to the man for a little bit. Ya’ll run along and play now.[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Ok…[/color]
***Eugene spreads his arms and air plane fashion, he then proceeds to run away making a “vroom” noise***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Lying) Cute kid.[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
I know. Shame though, he looks up to his uncle Eric. It’s just that Eric won’t spend any time with the kid. My brother, well, in a way, hates ol’ Eugene. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t worry about it man. I work for Eric, and let me tell you, he is probably nicer to his family than he is us. Eric can almost be insufferable. The days of “Best for the Employer” is over. It is far from over. You see, Eric today will do anything to further himself. He basically does anything for his well being and for his enjoyment. Eric is different ever since WCW was shut down. He has changed. He doesn’t seem to care about any of us in his company. He only seems to care about himself. It’s sickening really. Tell you what, I am trying to change all that myself. Maybe when I get through to Eric, I could see if Eugene could try his luck in ICW. I like the kid, seems motivated enough that he could make a successful run.[/color]
***Just then, X-Pac returns from the outhouse. He slaps Tommy on the shoulder.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So, ready to go? We still have a long road ahead of us.[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Ya’ sure yall don’t want to stay for supper? We are havin’ opossum casserole. [/color]
***Clem rubs his stomach, but just the thought of it makes Tommy and X-Pac sick.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
No. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Thank you though. Sounds delicious.[/color]
***So with that, X-Pac and Tommy head out once more. But with the sun setting, the question remains, will they make it to Iowa in time for Warzone?***
End of Scene 2[/u]
Scene 3 ~ Beating the Unbeatable[/u]
***The middle of nowhere, or Iowa as some call it, plays host to Warzone tonight. That’s right, the golden fields of the Breadbasket of the U.S. will be stained over scarlet by the time Warzone is done with them. Fans have lined up outside the University of Northern Iowa for hours now, waiting, just waiting for Cedar Falls to be rocked by Warzone. However, one question remains-did the Extreme Revolution make it in time for Warzone? It is now nine o’clock and Warzone has just started. A video package comes up on the screen to the song “I Dare You” by Shinedown. After this, plumes of pyro burst from the stage. The crowd lets out a large cheer. The camera then pans the arena as the fans show off their colorful and festive signs. The camera then pans once more, this time, to the commentary team of Tony Shiavone and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.***
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Welcome everyone to another episode of Warzone, live tonight from UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa! (A symbol saying “Live from Cedar Falls, Iowa appears in the upper right corner) We have an action packed episode of Warzone tonight as it is rumored tonight that Eric will be keeping an eye on the superstars, choosing who he finds worthy for All or Nothing! Speaking of All or Nothing, we will be having a qualifying match for the No Limits title tonight. Scott Steiner will be taking on Jeff Hardy in a ladder match. The first person to pull down the qualifying briefcase will be the winner! [/color]
Bobby Heenan[/u]
And honestly Tony, I fail to see how Jeff Hardy will lose this match, especially after destroying his brother in a ladder match last week. Face it Shiavone, Jeff Hardy was raised on a ladder. [/color]
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Then, in the main event, we will be seeing some tag team action, but not any tag team action. We are talking six man tag action! In one corner we will have the team of Joey “Magnum” Ryan, “Sterling” James Keenan, and to top it all off, Booker T. In the other corner we will have The Rock, D’Lo Brown, and X-Pac. I have no idea what way this match will be going.[/color]
Bobby Heenan[/u]
Yeah, well I do. Face it Shiavone, Joey Ryan, James Keenan, and Booker T will dominate this match. I mean, they radiate talent. On the other side, who besides the World Champion do they have that is significant? X-Pac? He is a loser, a nobody, without his partner Tommy Dreamer at his side. He proved that enough by losing to Elijah Burke in singles. And D’Lo Brown, well D’Lo is just a born loser. [/color]
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Speaking of X-Pac and Dreamer, let’s get to our opening bout. Tommy Dreamer will be taking on Former World Heavyweight Champion Montel Vontavious Porter to kick things off tonight.[/color]
***The bell rings twice to signify a match is about to begin. “Violence Fetish” by Disturbed hits the arena and Michael Buffer begins his announcing.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
Ladies and Gentleman, this opening bout is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, from Yonkers, New York, weighing in at 255 pounds, he is the Innovator of Violence, Toooommmmyyyy Dreeeeeammmer![/color]
***The music continues to play, but no one comes out. Could it be that Tommy and X-Pac are still on the road? Michael gives his announcement one more time.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
He is the Innovator of Violence...Tooooommmmmyyyy Dreeeeammmmer! [/color]
*Still nothing. Now, the referee walks up to Buffer and whispers something in his ear.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
Ladies and gentleman, I have just been informed that if Tommy Dreamer does not come out within the next ten seconds, he will be disqualified.[/color]
***The fans anxiously count down from ten to one. When they hit one, “Violence Fetish” kicks up once more and this time, Dreamer appears on the runway. Tommy has on a black shirt, with the words “All or Nothing” written on it with gold lettering. His pants have red and yellow flame patterns running down the sides of them. In the flame, it reads “Violence.” In Dreamer’s hand is his signature kendo stick. He hoists it high in the air, and the fans give him a warm ovation of “Dreamer” chants. He walks down the runway, slapping hands as he goes. When he gets to the end of the ramp, Tommy hoists his Singapore Cane into the air once more, prompting “EC Dub” Chants. He then proceeds over to the steel steps, traverses them, and walks onto the left ring apron. He sets the Singapore cane down in the ring, then looks out into the crowd. The fans cheer the man like there is no tomorrow, and Dreamer smiles back at them. He points down to his waste, and does the “Gold Taunt.” He then spreads his arms and hollers “ECW” into the air, which only prompts more chants from a ruckus crowd. Dreamer then gets in the ring, and he takes Michael Buffer’s microphone. His music dies and he begins to speak.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Listen, I can explain why I am late. It seems to me that a certain Stephanie McMahon has been trying to further her clients in ways that I could not have foreseen. It seems that she tried her hardest to not even get me to show my face here in Iowa tonight. (To this, the fans begin to boo Stephanie.) Now Stephanie, I know you are still upset about your loss last week. I know it, I saw you after the match jumping around like the wild whore you are, throwing a temper tantrum. I knew from that point on that my rivals weren’t just Booker T and Elijah Burke, but Stephanie McMahon. It seems after that, you did some persuasion and got Montel Vontavious Porter to do your bidding. Not only did you do that, but you made some calls. You bought my private jet, which hindered me from getting here on time. But…But…what you forgot was one vital and key reason that I am here tonight, live in Iowa. (The crowd gives a large pop at the mention of their state) That reason is that I am Tommy Dreamer. Wrestling is my life. Wrestling is what I was born to do. I will do whatever it takes to please these people in this arena here tonight. You counted me out way to easily Steph. You always do. You counted me out last week. You called me old, senile, frail, washed up, amongst other things. Then, you even cheated to try to beat me. Surely Stephanie, if I was as old and senile as you thought, you wouldn’t have needed to knee me in the back. Never the less, you did, yet I still got through that match. And I still won. Just like tonight, you did your hardest to keep me from even getting here, yet my passion, and my determination has gotten me here. And Stephanie McMahon, nothing, and I mean nothing; you do tonight will keep me from your client, Montel Vontavious Porter. You can knee me, you can distract the referee, hell, you can bitch slap me, but I will keep on coming. I will keep on fighting until that final bell is rung and until my hand is raised. I will not stop because of you. And damn it Stephanie, if you as so much think as lay a hand on me, I will do everything in my power to make you pay. You may call me barbaric for hurting a lady, but you see Stephanie, you aren’t any normal lady. You are a greedy little bitch. That in itself gives me all the reason I need to hurt you. [/color]
***Tommy takes a quick breath, and the fans begin to cheer once more. Tommy goes back to speaking.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
But you see Stephanie, this night just isn’t about you. It’s about your client, Montel Vontavious Porter. You see, I had done a lot of scouting on MVP. I have watched his videos, read the books, did it all. I know MVP considers himself the best in the game today. I respect that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe him when he says that, but I respect his opinion. You know why? Because at one time I too thought I was all that. When I broke into the wrestling business, I thought that I was immortal. I thought I was the best there was. I beat men that would probably bring Montel Vontavious Porter to his knees. I was at the top of my game. Until, Until I met the Sandman. You see, I did not expect the sort of fight you get from the Sandman. When I first laid eyes on that man, I saw a beer swilling, cane swinging, blue collar, madman. To be honest, I thought the Sandman was in all senses of the word, a joke. I thought I could beat him 1,2,3 in under five minutes. Little did I know, I was in for the fight of my life. Low and behold, I lost the match, and I realized something. I wasn’t wrestling’s greatest athlete. I wasn’t anywhere close to deserving that title. I still find myself far from Warzone’s greatest. I mean, after all, if I was the greatest, I would have a title belt strapped to my waste. But anyways, I respect you Montel. You are a one of a kind athlete. With that being said, how am I supposed to beat the unbeatable? You see, Montel is no push over. He is a former World Champion not to mention No Limits Champion. He has all the characteristics to go far in this business. He has beaten some of the greats in this business, and quite frankly I am stumped on finding his weaknesses. I guess his only weakness is his overconfidence. That is what I have to exploit if I am to ever topple MVP. Even then, I am not sure if I can beat this man. To tell you the truth, I am even a little frightened of getting into the ring with him. (Dreamer lets out a small laugh)But being afraid isn’t all bad. It means you care. That you are going to go out there and make those vital seconds in the ring matter. Don’t get me wrong Montel, I respect you and I fear you. Nevertheless, I am going to go out there and give it my all. I won’t stop until I get what I want. And right now, what I want is to tell MVP that he isn’t the World’s Greatest. I want to knock him down a peg. I want his ego to fall like the damn read wood tree it is. And I know for a fact that MVP is already underestimating me like I am some damn amateur. I know that if I can even go out there and remotely surprise MVP to my skill, that my goal has been accomplished. I know, that if I can beat MVP tonight, that I will be sure to raise some eyebrows in management. And you know Eric, right now, a title shot for X-Pac and I would mean so much. (Dreamer changes his train of thought) No, I can’t think of that has yet to happen. Tonight, my opponent is MVP. I need to focus on him. Right now, I cannot guarantee you people a win, all I can guarantee you is that I will go all out for as long as I possibly can. Tonight, this meeting will be of biblical proportion. I will be like David, fighting the unbeatable Goliath. And in the end, I may not come out the victor like David did, but I will have definitely proved my point. [/color]
***With that, Tommy Dreamer drops the microphone and waits for MVP to come out.***

Dude, where is my Jet?
Some strive for greatness, others live lives of utter mediocrity. In this world, there seems to be two types of people. Those who succeed, and those who fail. Tommy Dreamer has seen plenty of both sides of the spectrum. Dreamer, who is known by most as the heart and soul of hardcore, earned his name in the confines of a bingo hall. He grew up loving wrestling. He succeeded, in part, because he now makes a living out of doing exactly what he loves. However, in doing what he loves, failure runs rampant like a pandemic. Tommy Dreamer’s ICW run however, has not seen much failure at all. His last loss being to Charlie Haas, a man he faced a month back. Haas was at the top of his game, and many believed he would win the Road to Stardom tournament. However, that dream was cut short for Haas being fired by Eric Bischoff. Many were shocked at the release, and many felt that Bischoff was wrong in firing him. However, Tommy saw his loss coming from a mile back. Tommy knew that Haas was in the business for the wrong reasons. He knew that at the rate Haas was going, he wouldn’t last long. And when Dreamer lost to Haas, he knew that he had a lot to learn in the world of wrestling still. Since then, Dreamer has learned what it is to succeed. He has learned by the side of his partner, X-Pac. Many still look at Dreamer as Pac’s mentor, but Dreamer has specified that it is friendship that strengthens their bond, not training. Still, X-Pac has learned a lot while fighting alongside Dreamer, and the pupil has taught the master a lot as well. Their ring skill shined last week on Warzone, when they beat Elijah Burke, Booker T, and Stephanie McMahon. Since then, it not only seems that Booker and Elijah want more of the Extreme Revolution, but so does Stephanie McMahon. After her match, Stephanie sought out Montel Vontavious Porter, and formed an alliance with him. Together, they look to join the hunt for the world title, but it won’t be that easy. His Hindrance? Tommy Dreamer is standing directly in his path to greatness. While X-Pac has his hands full in the main event, Dreamer will have to deal with the self proclaimed world’s greatest athlete one on one in the ring. Not only will he have to deal with MVP, but Porter will have his manager in his corner. One can infer that Stephanie McMahon has a few tricks up here sleeve that will hopefully stop Tommy Dreamer dead in his tracks. But—Will it be that easy? Dreamer never dies. He won’t stay down. Especially now, when Cage and Orton’s tag team gold is right in his sights, he feels more motivated now than he ever has. Dreamer is at the top of his game here tonight, and he is willing to go the extra mile to prove once and for all that the Extreme Revolution is worthy of gold. So, the only question remaining is—Montel Vontavious Porter, are YOU ready? Are you ready to stare an extremist dead in the eye and take him on in that ring? Are you ready to face a man more determined than he ever has? Are you ready to be pushed to the limit? Tommy Dreamer is more than ready and willing to go the extra mile tonight, are YOU? There will be blood, there will be sweat, and there will be tears. In the end however, one man will emerge victorious. When his hand is raised, it will be clear that he is more motivated than the man lying down on the mat, writhing in pain. The man who has his hand raised can be deemed an uncrowned champion.

Scene 1 ~ Hindrance it may be, but stop me, it will not
***Tommy Dreamer walks back to his locker room in the Georgia Technological University, tired after his long, difficult match against Booker T, Elijah Burke, and Stephanie McMahon. Still, there is a sense of satisfaction within Dreamer. Tommy knows that he and X-Pac went out there with a purpose, and they put on a show that the crowds in Georgia will be talking about for years to come. Yet something was missing? What could it be? Was it the thought that so much had yet to be accomplished? Yes, that must be it Dreamer thought. Dreamer walks over to a black, fold out chair in the corner of the locker room and he grabs a white towel that is conveniently placed over it. He takes and wipes the sweat from his forehead. Dreamer then cringes in pain as he limps over to his duffel bag. He takes off his shirt, only to be confronted by the smell of sweat dripping from his body.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(grimacing at the smell of his body odor) We did well out there today. Now, it’s up to Vickie Guerrero to give us that title shot that the Extreme Revolution rightfully deserves. (Dreamer thinks to himself “I wonder if Beulah was watching me? He smirks and nods his head in an affirmative action) Lets not worry about those things, Tommy. Let’s take a shower, go back to the hotel, and crash. [/color]
***Tommy Dreamer walks over to a door that leads to the bathroom that the GT Basketball team uses for team showers. He opens the door, and proceeds to go in and turn on the water in one of the showers. He undresses near the shower, and then proceeds to wet his head. The warm water running down his body soothes his aching muscles, and Tommy lets out a deep sigh of relief. The match was over. Tommy did what he needed to do. “I am at the top of my game” he thought to himself. Just then, the door leading to the bathroom opens and X-Pac walks in. He is in the nude as well and he occupies a shower next to Dreamer.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey man, great job out there. We were on the top of our game, and damn, Candice, she sure was fine. The ending to that match was priceless. (laughing) And Booker T’s face after I superkicked Elijah’s teeth down his throat was great. That will teach Booker not to mess with the Extreme Revolution.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Heh, right you are X-Pac. Elijah and Booker realized tonight that cheating will not be tolerated. I am glad you came through for me tonight. After Stephanie kicked me in the back, illegally might I add, I thought Elijah would have picked the bones easily. If it wasn’t for Candice and yourself, I would have been laid out in the center of the ring and it would have been an easy three count. I felt for a second that the pep talk Terry gave me at the Pizza shop this afternoon was all for not. Then, I saw you come in and Superkick Elijah, and all those thoughts went away. X-Pac, you always told me that I had more skill than you, but I think you discredit yourself. You are a great athlete. You wouldn’t be in ICW if you weren’t. You saved my ass out there tonight. [/color]
*X-Pac smiles at the recognition Tommy gives him.*
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Don’t mention it. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Taking the soap from off the ledge, Dreamer proceeds to clean the sweat off his body) Though I can’t help but wonder if Vickie Guerrero was impressed. Then again, I saw her pigging out on spaghetti earlier, so I am sure with all that food in her system, she didn’t even wake up while Warzone was on. Eh, what are you going to do? (Tommy finishes washing himself with the bar of soap. He hands it to X-Pac, who uses it in the same manner Dreamer did)[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
No, she was awake during the whole thing. I know because afterwards she told me I was in the main event this week. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I must have impressed her if she put me in the main event this week. So stop worrying. You worry too much, you know that, right?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Letting out a small laugh) No, I really never took into consideration how much I worry. I guess there is just so much going through my mind. Anyway, we are in the main event this week? Really, heh, seems like Vickie and Bischoff finally came to their senses, and it’s about time too. So, tell me this X-Pac, who are we up against this week? Booker T and X-Pac in a number one contenders match? Christian Cage and Randy Orton for the tag team titles? Who would have thought after a month in ICW, we would be on top of the tag team division. (Tommy Dreamer takes the “Herbal Essence” Shampoo from off the shower rack. He proceeds to lather his hair with it.)[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(With a nervous tone) Well…you see…you aren’t exactly in the match?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What? Why? I’m not booked at all? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Still with the nervous tone) Well…I never exactly said you weren’t booked. You are. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Really? Thank God, I feel as if I am unbeatable right now. So, where am I on the card? Let me guess, upper mid card, right? I must have impressed Vickie. (Trying to rephrase his last sentence) We must have impressed Vickie. I mean, you’re in the main event for crying out loud.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
No, you see, you aren’t. After our match last week, Stephanie McMahon was infuriated. I was in Vickie’s office when she told me about my match, and well, she was mumbling something. Well, it was a great deal of something. She said something about making Dreamer pay. And seeing as she is now in cahoots with that Montel Vontavious Porter fellow, Vickie Guerrero put you in a match with him. Stephanie smiled in glee, as you can imagine. Oh, and it’s the first match on the card.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Tommy finishes lathering his hair. He slowly rinses the shampoo from his hair) First match on the card? You have got to be kidding me? You are kidding me right?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I wish I was. Believe me, I would love going into that main event with you by my side. Sadly, it won’t be like that. Trust me though, Montel Vontavious Porter is over confident. Despite being a world champion in the past, he is cocky. He will make a few mistakes out there, you watch. I know you Tommy, you will win easily.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t get too overconfident about me, X-Pac. Overconfidence kills. Montel will learn that very soon. World’s Greatest Athlete, who is he kidding? I may not beat MVP come next week, but I will be damned if he is able to call me an old washed up has been after our match. But you know X-Pac, I do find it rather humorous that everyone who I have faced in the past thinks I will be an easy opponent. I mean, I think the only one of my opponents to actually give me credit for all I have done was D’Lo Brown. Even then, I can’t really say much about him, seeing as he tried to take me out with a steel chair. Then there was Charlie Haas, the only man so far to back up what he has said in that ring. Charlie however, I still have no respect for that man. I show concern for him and Torrie, and what does he go and do? He takes a few cheap shots after the match. Then you have Shad, a man who had the audacity to say I wasn’t extreme to my face. Soon enough though, Shad was swallowing his own teeth. Then there was Booker T and Elijah Burke. You know, they say they respect us, but what they show in that ring is anything but respect. I mean, X-Pac, if they truly respected us, would they have cheated to pick up the win in that ring against you? Would they have cheated in our last match to beat us? Furthermore, would they go as far to call us old and washed up in that ring? I mean, Booker told me last week that I shouldn’t even be teaming with you. Well, I guess we showed him tonight that you and I are on the same page, unlike Booker T and himself. Next week, I have the self proclaimed greatest athlete this world has ever seen. Give me a break! These superstars today have no respect for one another. Now back in my day, in the ECW days, that locker room was family. Despite us having our differences in the ring, we would still go out late at night and have a couple cold ones after the show. Those men were true athletes, not these men like MVP. This new wave of athletes makes me sick. That is why I found you in the first place X-Pac. So we could show the world that men like us extremists could put on a show in that ring. So far, we have proved every doubter wrong. We proved Rene Dupree wrong, we proved Hassan wrong, and we have been proving Burke and Booker wrong every night we step in that ring. And next week, we have our chance to do it separately. If I can keep up my right of intensity in that ring against Montel, I think I can make him take back everything and anything he says in that ring next week. Though next week isn’t just about me. It’s about you, X-Pac. Who exactly are you facing anyways?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well it’s not just who I am facing, it’s who are we facing. It’s a six man tag match. I am teaming with the Rock and D’Lo to take on Joey Ryan, James Keenan, and guess who? Booker T! I can’t wait to give that Booker character a taste of the X marks the spot, just like I did Elijah Burke tonight. But enough about my match, you do know that Stephanie McMahon is coming down to ringside with Montel right? She is definitely going to do anything in her power to secure Montel the win. Trust me, I know her. Back in the old days, she was Triple H’s ex-wife. The same Triple H that was the founder of D-Generation X. She will do anything, and I mean anything to get the victory for her boy. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
But, X-Pac, Montel and Stephanie aren’t even dating. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Tommy, do you really believe that for a second? I mean, I know Stephanie McMahon. Who the hell hasn’t that woman dated? Who hasn’t that women slept with? She is a five dollar whore; even then, I am pricing her way too high. Trust me, she will do whatever it takes to secure MVP a win. [/color]
***Just then, Tommy’s phone rings. It’s a generic ring, mainly for the fact that Tommy doesn’t like ring tones. Tommy goes quickly to answer the phone. He turns off the water. Remotely dries himself off, and gets to the phone at the last ring. X-Pac looks on in disbelief as Tommy answers the phone nude***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Hello? (A small gap separates the receptionist’s voice from Tommy’s. The woman on the other end, from what X-Pac can make out is an old frail, bitter woman. She seems rather cruel. By the tone of her voice, it doesn’t even seem like she wants to be working) What? What do you mean that the McMahon’s bought out the Extreme Revolution’s private jet? How the hell do you expect me to make it to next week’s show if I have no mode of transportation? What do you mean does it look like you care? Lady, this is your job. You are supposed to care about what the customer wants. Right now, I want our private jet back. What do you mean Stephanie McMahon gave you a great offer to buy it. I had that baby paid off. Not only was I going to Iowa for Warzone next week, but I was planning on showing my wife the plane. We were going to the Bahamas for our anniversary. And you, you took that all away from me for what? What do you mean they paid two billion dollars for it? I don’t care if they paid seven hundred trillion dollars, that jet was mine! Settle down?! Settle down?! Wait until your private jet is taken from you, then we will see how you react. Well, I can assure you I will not go quietly. This is absurd. You will hear from me again. GOOD BYE![/color]
***Dreamer clicks the off button on his phone and slams it down on the bench. X-Pac, who had been listening in on the conversation, turns the shower off and walks over to Dreamer.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I’m sorry man, but when I said Stephanie McMahon would do anything to get the win, I meant it. Seems like she is trying to get you not even to compete. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Tell me, X-Pac, do you know your way to Iowa? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Puzzled) No, why?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, I guess you are going to find out. I’m calling for a rental car. We are driving up to Iowa together.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Agreeing) Sounds like fun. Hey Tommy, if it’s not too late to ask, after the match, I was approached by a couple of girls. A couple of smoking hot girls. They said they wanted to treat us to one hell of a night. So, I’m in, are you?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I just lost one of my most valuable possessions, and you want to go to a bar with a couple of ladies.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Great plan, I know. So, you in?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I’m married. Besides, I don’t exactly feel like partying. I’m going to go back to the hotel and crash.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(A little upset over Dreamer not going with him) Hey, whatever dude. Your loss. [/color]
***X-Pac and Tommy finish getting dressed in silence. They leave the Georgia Technological Center in silence as well. The night for Tommy is a rather quiet one. He goes back to the Marriot, and falls asleep rather quickly. X-Pac however, goes out to a bar in downtown Atlanta with a couple of brunettes. He stays out until around three in the morning. Drunk, he too returns to the Marriot. ***
End of Scene 1 [/u]
Scene 2 - Life is a Highway, I want to ride it…to Iowa[/u]
***It is now Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. Tommy Dreamer and X-Pac are making preparations for their road trip to Iowa. X-Pac stands outside his rental car, a green SUV, which is sitting in the Marriot’s parking lot. Tommy Dreamer opens the door from the Marriot and walks out. It is a crisp August morning. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. Industrial Waste is being spewed into the air by Atlanta’s factories. All is wonderful. Tommy is wearing a black shirt with the ICW logo on it. He also has jeans on. X-Pac is wearing a retro DX shirt with jeans as well. On X-Pac’s wrist, is a beautiful, solid gold watch. Tommy Dreamer has in his hand a cup of decaf coffee with a pinch of sugar. X-Pac is standing by the SUV, pouring gas from a red container into the gas tank. He spots Tommy Dreamer, and heads over to him.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey Tommy. (X-Pac looks over to the SUV in admiration) She sure is a beauty ain’t she? I call her, The Walt-Mobile.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
The Walt Mobile? (Tommy laughs as he takes a sip of his coffee. It’s rather strong, and Tommy makes an odd looking face to get it down his throat.)You mean to say you named our car?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Why not? It sounded like a cool name at the time. Oh, Tommy, I stopped at Sonic while you were getting up. Got us a couple of breakfast burritos. There in the car, want to chow down before we hit the road?[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Sonic? (Tommy is nauseated just at the thought of Sonic’s food) You mean that drink place with the artificial food?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yeah. They have awesome breakfast food. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Thanks, but no thanks. I’d rather not be sick on the way to Iowa.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Hey, your loss. More for me.[/color]
***With that, X-Pac chow downs the two breakfast burritos. They both get into the green SUV. X-Pac takes the key from the car and slides it into the ignition. He gets a feel for the car quickly. X-Pac then puts his hands in the ten and two position on the wheel and begins to back out. So far so good. He is out of the parking spot now as he pulls out of the parking lot. X-Pac puts his turn signal on, and pulls into traffic. He immediately steps on the accelerator with force. The SUV goes flying at sixty miles per hour down the two lane street. Tommy Dreamer looks frantic.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, what the hell are you doing.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Taking his eyes off the road) I’m driving, what does it look like I am doing?[/color]
***X-Pac puts his eyes back on the road, only to find out that he has swerved through a lane of traffic. He quickly corrects the error before he collides with another car. He then takes his hand off the steering wheel and wipes off a droplet of sweat.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, to me, it looks like you are violating traffic laws, and breaking the speed limit. Its thirty five down this road, you know that, right? X-Pac, you do have your license don’t you?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yeah, I do. Failed the test though. You know, around five times. I wasn’t the best driver, not by a long shot. (X-Pac eases the pressure from the accelerator and the car slows down to the speed limit)[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You don’t say? Well, X-Pac, let’s just get to Iowa in one piece. [/color]
***After this line, the car goes quiet. X-Pac’s driving becomes significantly more defensive instead of offensive. They get on the highway and begin their long trip up to Iowa. X-Pac has the radio on as Tommy Dreamer falls asleep. X-Pac loves the drive to Iowa. The Southern scenery at the moment is crisp and beautiful. Besides, the occasional driver with road rage, could this trip be any better? They continue to drive on for around five hours. It is no lunch time and they are in the middle of Tennessee. X-Pac however, is still full from his breakfast burritos, and Tommy, well Tommy is still fast asleep in the car. X-Pac is becoming increasingly bored, he tries to wake up Tommy.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(taking one hand off the wheel to shake Tommy) Tommy, wake up man. Your snoring is rather annoying. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What? Why? Come on, X-Pac, I was up all night watching tape on MVP.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So I take it you missed what happened on Showdown, right? [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Still groggy) Better question for you X-Pac, am I supposed to care what happened on Showdown?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well, I thought you would considering Randy Orton and Christian Cage were on it. They came out at the beginning of the show and rambled on and on about how they were the greatest tag team to ever live. You know, the same shit they come out to talk about week after week after week. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Pulling his seat up so he can talk with X-Pac) Didn’t Christian have a title defense against Edge?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Yes, Edge lost. It made me really doubt that we could beat them. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t doubt X-Pac. Doubt only leads to failure. You have to be confident going into a match. You see Christian and Orton come out week after week and talk about how great they are. They have confidence. Maybe their confidence borders on cockiness, but it nevertheless is confidence. If we are to ever beat them, we need to come in to the match thinking we have a chance. I know, Cage and Orton are at the top of their games. I mean, look at them. Randy Orton beat Matt Striker, Robert Roode, and Raven to win that title. Right now, it looks like no one can beat him. The wrestling sites say no one can beat him. He is a legend killer, and now he is looking to destroy anyone who gets in the way of killing his legend. X-Pac, you and I are legends in our own right. He will no doubt be looking for us if and win we get that number one contenders match. And if and when we win it, he will be looking to end our careers. Christian Cage beat Edge tonight, big deal. I have fought Edge in many of matches, and despite how tough that man is, he isn’t unbeatable. I never beat him, sure, but I came damn close to beating him. Edge is one hardcore dude, but Christian, he is cocky. He talks the talk like there is no tomorrow. Worst part is, he can back it up. Together, they are one of the best tag teams on Showdown. (X-Pac quickly interjects that they are the only tag team on Showdown) What? I thought the Celtic Killers were a tag team. I guess Finlay finally got sick of Gildor, or whatever his name was. It’s a shame too, those two men had serious potential. They just could not win a match. They weren’t on the same page. You see X-Pac, if we are to win against Randy and Christian; we need to be a single and cohesive unit. Not only do you have to be as one, but we have to be on the top of our games. Randy and Christian, those two men are good, but they aren’t the best. We can prove that. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So guess who else was in action? [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Who? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Raven. He beat Mark Jude, whoever the hell that is. It looked like Hassan, but even then, I have no idea why he changed his name.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You got me on that one, X-Pac. Maybe Hassan was looking for a fresh start. I mean, he hasn’t been doing his best out in that ring lately. He used to be one of the best. He would never take shit from anyone, but now, now he is losing to men like Raven. I sort of figured Raven could beat him though. I mean, I have only beaten Raven twice in all my years of wrestling. He is one hell of an athlete. But. But. Raven still is nowhere close to the person I am. You see, X-Pac, this grudge between him and I started awhile back. Before I even got into the wrestling business. It started when we were kids. Raven was constantly jealous of me. It was always because I had Beulah and he didn’t. Throughout high school, Raven’s gang of mindless lackies always used to pick on me. They would throw me into lockers, and beat the crap out of me on a regular basis. All because of Beulah. The friendship we had before we met Beulah, well, we couldn’t even think about it anymore. Or at least I couldn’t. There is too much bad blood between him and I. Raven will always be a coward to me. Nothing more or nothing less. Every time Raven beat me it was by cheating. He could not get a clean win if he tried. But hey, I got to give it to him, it’s extreme rules. Anything goes. He was just doing whatever it takes to get the win. Still though, the countless cheap shots he took on me, the countless men he turned against me, the countless women he had use me, the countless beatings he gave me, and the countless verbal abusing he used my name in only fueled the hate I had for that man. As for his victory tonight, am I surprised he got the win. No, not at all. I know what that man is capable of, and I know what Jude is capable of. I have been in the ring with both of them. In the long run, Raven gave me more losses than anyone I have ever faced. Raven has always proved to me that he was hardcore. He has introduced new ways of pain and violence that even I, the Innovator of Violence, could not think of. Still, Raven is one sick, twisted, and cancerous being, who I feel I could never respect.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Speaking of respect though Tommy, Tuesday on MSW, some weird looking lanky guy who I have never heard or seen before came out. His name was Colin something. He was asking Bischoff for a contract, and well, he said some rather mean things about you.[/color]
***Dreamer knows exactly who X-Pac is talking about. It’s Colin Delaney, a man who has a lot of history with Tommy, almost as much as Raven does. Tommy Dreamer becomes curious.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
What exactly did Colin say about me? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well he said you were a pretty boy. The type of man that your mom would want you to bring home, yet you couldn’t wrestle your way out of a paper bag. Oh, and he said that you held him down. That you made him a nice guy, and that nice guys finish last. The guy is obviously an idiot Tommy, don’t let it go to your head. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
I’m not letting it go to my head X-Pac. Not at all. You see, I helped Colin break in to the wrestling industry. I got him on his feet so to speak. He wasn’t that talented. Well, to put it frankly, he didn’t have any talent. He wasn’t a good technician. He wasn’t good with mat skills. He wasn’t good with, well, wrestling. I still gave the kid a chance. I saw in him drive. I saw in him passion. I saw in him the same passion I see in you X-Pac. I taught that kid everything I knew about the sport of wrestling, and then some. I gave that kid a chance. I gave that kid a future, and when I finally got a chance at gold, what does he do? He turns on me! I have as much respect for Colin Delaney as I do for Raven. Colin says it’s nice guys that finish last, no. That is farther from the truth. It’s people who don’t give it their all in that ring that finish last. For the longest time, I thought Colin was giving it his all, but I must be mistaken. You see Colin wants to say I am a loser, but I have more passion than he ever will. If he thinks for one second, that Bischoff will want him in this business he is wrong. Hell, I had a hard enough time getting into this business myself Colin was associated with me, and that is all the reason Bischoff needs not to hire him. When Colin gets into ICW, he will find out that the competition is even tougher here. The wrestling world isn’t easy to make it into. Even if you can make it in the business, there is no guarantee that you will succeed. To succeed, you need passion. Something that you and I have. Something that Colin doesn’t. X-Pac, I couldn’t be happier teaming with you. It seems that every other one of my partners have gone rogue on me. I mean, first I go with Colin, and he screws me over. Then I try teaming with Nosawa, accidentally got him fired, and now he hates me. Hell, now even Rob Van Dam is gone. The only things I have left in this business is my love for wrestling, my passion, and my best friend, you. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(X-Pac becomes nervous) Well, Tommy, I haven’t been completely honest with you. You see, when I told you last week that I felt I lost my passion. Well, I asked Eric if I could cut ties with the business. After you talked to me though, I told him that I wanted to stay. I really hope that doesn’t upset you.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well, I can’t say I don’t feel a little betrayed, but you know what X-Pac, it took a lot of courage to tell me that. I know, at some times, this business can seem tough. I know at times that I have felt that I want to quit this business myself. But you know what separates you and I from the likes of other wrestlers. We don’t walk away. You had every opportunity to leave X-Pac, but you made the decision to stay. That took a lot of courage. And look where we are now, we pulled out an amazing victory over Stephanie McMahon, Booker T, and Elijah Burke. A victory that everyone around us thought was a lost cause. No one thought we could win, but we did. It was all thanks to you, X-Pac. You saved our ass out there, you know that? And while this news is shocking to me, I am also so relieved you chose to stay. You see X-Pac, this is what separates us from other tag teams. We talk out our problems. I know I don’t hide anything from you, and you certainly don’t hide anything from me. That in itself allows us to act as one. It allows us to be on not only the same page in the wrestling ring, but it allows us to be on the same page outside the ring. You see teams like the Celtic Killers and Randy Orton and Christian Cage, and they always seem to be in some type of argument when they aren’t in that ring. They always seem to be bickering about something. Then you have the Blood Brothers, and to be quite honest, I have no idea what is going on in Elijah Burke’s mind let alone Booker T. But then you have us, we can talk about anything. We are best friends. And you know X-Pac, I have never been happier to be teaming with someone than I am now, teaming with the likes of you. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Thanks man, I appreciate that. And I feel better knowing your ok with my decisions. [/color]
***Tommy looks around, puzzled as to what state they are in.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Say, X-Pac, do you know where we are?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Well, for one thing, we sure aren’t in Kansas anymore. (Grins as his terrible joke) Actually man, I think we are somewhere in Kentucky. And man, I am not feeling well…
[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Concerned) Why man, what’s wrong? Do you need me to drive?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Nah man, I’m good. I think it’s that Sonic I had for breakfast. It went right through my system…and…well…now I have to…well…I got to poop.[/color]
***Tommy looks out the window. He can only see miles of corn. He shakes his head.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Where do you expect us to find a rest stop in the middle of nowhere?[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
I don’t know, but there is a little shack over there. (X-Pac motions with his finger)I’m going to pull over, see if they will let me use their bathroom.[/color]
End of Scene 2[/u]
Scene 3-Kentucky Fried Extremists[/u]
***X-Pac and Tommy pull off to the side of the road. They notice a pathway through the field of maze. X-Pac motions Tommy to enter the pathway. The two enter the path and begin to walk what seems like miles. They finally come across a house that is built upon a hill. Well, it is a house, but it looks more like a dilapidated shack. It’s built out of beige siding, which is scratched, torn, or even missing in some places. A few shingles lay on the ground beneath their feat. In the drive sits a red Ford truck. By the truck, is a doghouse that is unoccupied at the time. X-Pac and Tommy walk up to the front door.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, I have a bad feeling about this.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
What, so now your Han Solo all the sudden? Trust me, everything will be fine.[/color]
***X-Pac bangs his hand up against the screen door to the shack. He waits for around two minutes, then hears an old ladies voice saying “Clem, can you get the door?” The man seems to ignore her at first, until she yells his name even louder. The door swings open to reveal and old, short, stocky man. He is wearing a red buttoned shirt, with overalls and suspenders on. Sitting on his head is a truckers cap with a John Deer logo on it. Dirt is caked all over his outfit. His face is rather disheveled looking. He has a large, stubby nose, beaty eyes, and a horrendous five o’clock shadow. X-Pac feels a small amount of trepidation as Tommy stands back, smiling in delight.***
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Whadyall want? [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Rather upnerved) Um, sir, well…[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Interjecting) He would like to know if he could use the bathroom, sir. [/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Bathroom? What, do you take us for city folk? Aw shucks, we do have an outhouse out in the spelt field, you are free to use that.[/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Puzzled) A spelled field? What the hell is a spelled field? I mean, I have heard of a Reading Rainbow, but a spelled field?[/color]
***Tommy can’t help but laugh a little at X-Pac’s illiteracy.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
X-Pac, spelt is another name for wheat. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
(Embarrassed) Oh… (X-Pac turns back to Clem, still embarrassed) And where is this spelt field?[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
I reckon’ you two aren’t from Kentucky. Well this here spelt field is out back, don’t get yourself lost, now.[/color]
***The old redneck laughs as X-Pac proceeds to walk out back into an endless maze of wheat. The old man laughs at the two city slickers. He then spits the dip he had in his mouth out onto the dirt beneath him. Tommy Dreamer stands by the house, waiting for X-Pac. All of a sudden, a head pops up from behind Clem. It’s a rather curious figure, who stands behind the old redneck, staring mindlessly at Dreamer, trying to ascertain the unusual presence. Dreamer notices this, and confronts whoever it is.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Trying to act friendly) Hey there, who are you?[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Well, go on. Introduce yourself.[/color]
?[/u]Hi…My name is Eugene. [/color]
***The boy comes out from the shadows to reveal the confused face of Eugene, Eric Bischoff’s nephew. Of course, Tommy is laughing on the inside at the thought of Eric’s brother being a hillbilly, but at the same time Tommy wants to give Eugene someone to talk to.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well hello there Eugene, my name is Tommy. Tommy Dreamer.[/color]
***Eugene’s jaw drops at the sight of the extremist in disbelief. He is soon filled with uncontrollable excitement.***
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God, Tommy Dreamer! The Innovator of Violence! A Former ECW Champion! Oh My God! My Uncle Eric has told me all about you! He said I am as smart as one of your fans! [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
(Trying to mount a comeback for Eugene’s comment) Really? Wow, you must be really smart then![/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Yah, I went to an ECW show one time. It was the bestest time I ever had. I don’t like the Sandman though, he hurt me.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Well Eugene, did you do something to him that would make him want to hurt you.[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
(Thinking rather hard) Umm…I don’t remember.[/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
That’s ok. Say Eugene, have you been watching ICW?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Mmmmhmmm…I love ICW. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
You do? What is your favorite part of ICW?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
The Rock! (Cheap Imitation) If you smellaough what the Rock is cooking![/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
That’s a pretty good impression Eugene, but I have to ask you, what do you think of my matches?[/color]
The Naïve Retard ~ Eugene [/u]
Umm…(Thinking Hard) I don’t really watch you. Uncle Eric says that if I watch you, whats left of my brain will rot.[/color]

Eugene, let me talk to the man for a little bit. Ya’ll run along and play now.[/color]

I know. Shame though, he looks up to his uncle Eric. It’s just that Eric won’t spend any time with the kid. My brother, well, in a way, hates ol’ Eugene. [/color]
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Don’t worry about it man. I work for Eric, and let me tell you, he is probably nicer to his family than he is us. Eric can almost be insufferable. The days of “Best for the Employer” is over. It is far from over. You see, Eric today will do anything to further himself. He basically does anything for his well being and for his enjoyment. Eric is different ever since WCW was shut down. He has changed. He doesn’t seem to care about any of us in his company. He only seems to care about himself. It’s sickening really. Tell you what, I am trying to change all that myself. Maybe when I get through to Eric, I could see if Eugene could try his luck in ICW. I like the kid, seems motivated enough that he could make a successful run.[/color]
***Just then, X-Pac returns from the outhouse. He slaps Tommy on the shoulder.***
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
So, ready to go? We still have a long road ahead of us.[/color]
Ol’ Redneck ~ Clem [/u]
Ya’ sure yall don’t want to stay for supper? We are havin’ opossum casserole. [/color]
***Clem rubs his stomach, but just the thought of it makes Tommy and X-Pac sick.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
No. [/color]
The X-Factor ~ X-Pac ~ Sean Waltman[/u]
Thank you though. Sounds delicious.[/color]
***So with that, X-Pac and Tommy head out once more. But with the sun setting, the question remains, will they make it to Iowa in time for Warzone?***
End of Scene 2[/u]
Scene 3 ~ Beating the Unbeatable[/u]
***The middle of nowhere, or Iowa as some call it, plays host to Warzone tonight. That’s right, the golden fields of the Breadbasket of the U.S. will be stained over scarlet by the time Warzone is done with them. Fans have lined up outside the University of Northern Iowa for hours now, waiting, just waiting for Cedar Falls to be rocked by Warzone. However, one question remains-did the Extreme Revolution make it in time for Warzone? It is now nine o’clock and Warzone has just started. A video package comes up on the screen to the song “I Dare You” by Shinedown. After this, plumes of pyro burst from the stage. The crowd lets out a large cheer. The camera then pans the arena as the fans show off their colorful and festive signs. The camera then pans once more, this time, to the commentary team of Tony Shiavone and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.***
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Welcome everyone to another episode of Warzone, live tonight from UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa! (A symbol saying “Live from Cedar Falls, Iowa appears in the upper right corner) We have an action packed episode of Warzone tonight as it is rumored tonight that Eric will be keeping an eye on the superstars, choosing who he finds worthy for All or Nothing! Speaking of All or Nothing, we will be having a qualifying match for the No Limits title tonight. Scott Steiner will be taking on Jeff Hardy in a ladder match. The first person to pull down the qualifying briefcase will be the winner! [/color]
Bobby Heenan[/u]
And honestly Tony, I fail to see how Jeff Hardy will lose this match, especially after destroying his brother in a ladder match last week. Face it Shiavone, Jeff Hardy was raised on a ladder. [/color]
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Then, in the main event, we will be seeing some tag team action, but not any tag team action. We are talking six man tag action! In one corner we will have the team of Joey “Magnum” Ryan, “Sterling” James Keenan, and to top it all off, Booker T. In the other corner we will have The Rock, D’Lo Brown, and X-Pac. I have no idea what way this match will be going.[/color]
Bobby Heenan[/u]
Yeah, well I do. Face it Shiavone, Joey Ryan, James Keenan, and Booker T will dominate this match. I mean, they radiate talent. On the other side, who besides the World Champion do they have that is significant? X-Pac? He is a loser, a nobody, without his partner Tommy Dreamer at his side. He proved that enough by losing to Elijah Burke in singles. And D’Lo Brown, well D’Lo is just a born loser. [/color]
Tony Shiavone[/u]
Speaking of X-Pac and Dreamer, let’s get to our opening bout. Tommy Dreamer will be taking on Former World Heavyweight Champion Montel Vontavious Porter to kick things off tonight.[/color]
***The bell rings twice to signify a match is about to begin. “Violence Fetish” by Disturbed hits the arena and Michael Buffer begins his announcing.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
Ladies and Gentleman, this opening bout is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, from Yonkers, New York, weighing in at 255 pounds, he is the Innovator of Violence, Toooommmmyyyy Dreeeeeammmer![/color]
***The music continues to play, but no one comes out. Could it be that Tommy and X-Pac are still on the road? Michael gives his announcement one more time.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
He is the Innovator of Violence...Tooooommmmmyyyy Dreeeeammmmer! [/color]
*Still nothing. Now, the referee walks up to Buffer and whispers something in his ear.***
Michael Buffer[/u]
Ladies and gentleman, I have just been informed that if Tommy Dreamer does not come out within the next ten seconds, he will be disqualified.[/color]
***The fans anxiously count down from ten to one. When they hit one, “Violence Fetish” kicks up once more and this time, Dreamer appears on the runway. Tommy has on a black shirt, with the words “All or Nothing” written on it with gold lettering. His pants have red and yellow flame patterns running down the sides of them. In the flame, it reads “Violence.” In Dreamer’s hand is his signature kendo stick. He hoists it high in the air, and the fans give him a warm ovation of “Dreamer” chants. He walks down the runway, slapping hands as he goes. When he gets to the end of the ramp, Tommy hoists his Singapore Cane into the air once more, prompting “EC Dub” Chants. He then proceeds over to the steel steps, traverses them, and walks onto the left ring apron. He sets the Singapore cane down in the ring, then looks out into the crowd. The fans cheer the man like there is no tomorrow, and Dreamer smiles back at them. He points down to his waste, and does the “Gold Taunt.” He then spreads his arms and hollers “ECW” into the air, which only prompts more chants from a ruckus crowd. Dreamer then gets in the ring, and he takes Michael Buffer’s microphone. His music dies and he begins to speak.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
Listen, I can explain why I am late. It seems to me that a certain Stephanie McMahon has been trying to further her clients in ways that I could not have foreseen. It seems that she tried her hardest to not even get me to show my face here in Iowa tonight. (To this, the fans begin to boo Stephanie.) Now Stephanie, I know you are still upset about your loss last week. I know it, I saw you after the match jumping around like the wild whore you are, throwing a temper tantrum. I knew from that point on that my rivals weren’t just Booker T and Elijah Burke, but Stephanie McMahon. It seems after that, you did some persuasion and got Montel Vontavious Porter to do your bidding. Not only did you do that, but you made some calls. You bought my private jet, which hindered me from getting here on time. But…But…what you forgot was one vital and key reason that I am here tonight, live in Iowa. (The crowd gives a large pop at the mention of their state) That reason is that I am Tommy Dreamer. Wrestling is my life. Wrestling is what I was born to do. I will do whatever it takes to please these people in this arena here tonight. You counted me out way to easily Steph. You always do. You counted me out last week. You called me old, senile, frail, washed up, amongst other things. Then, you even cheated to try to beat me. Surely Stephanie, if I was as old and senile as you thought, you wouldn’t have needed to knee me in the back. Never the less, you did, yet I still got through that match. And I still won. Just like tonight, you did your hardest to keep me from even getting here, yet my passion, and my determination has gotten me here. And Stephanie McMahon, nothing, and I mean nothing; you do tonight will keep me from your client, Montel Vontavious Porter. You can knee me, you can distract the referee, hell, you can bitch slap me, but I will keep on coming. I will keep on fighting until that final bell is rung and until my hand is raised. I will not stop because of you. And damn it Stephanie, if you as so much think as lay a hand on me, I will do everything in my power to make you pay. You may call me barbaric for hurting a lady, but you see Stephanie, you aren’t any normal lady. You are a greedy little bitch. That in itself gives me all the reason I need to hurt you. [/color]
***Tommy takes a quick breath, and the fans begin to cheer once more. Tommy goes back to speaking.***
The Innovator of Violence ~ Tommy Dreamer[/u]
But you see Stephanie, this night just isn’t about you. It’s about your client, Montel Vontavious Porter. You see, I had done a lot of scouting on MVP. I have watched his videos, read the books, did it all. I know MVP considers himself the best in the game today. I respect that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe him when he says that, but I respect his opinion. You know why? Because at one time I too thought I was all that. When I broke into the wrestling business, I thought that I was immortal. I thought I was the best there was. I beat men that would probably bring Montel Vontavious Porter to his knees. I was at the top of my game. Until, Until I met the Sandman. You see, I did not expect the sort of fight you get from the Sandman. When I first laid eyes on that man, I saw a beer swilling, cane swinging, blue collar, madman. To be honest, I thought the Sandman was in all senses of the word, a joke. I thought I could beat him 1,2,3 in under five minutes. Little did I know, I was in for the fight of my life. Low and behold, I lost the match, and I realized something. I wasn’t wrestling’s greatest athlete. I wasn’t anywhere close to deserving that title. I still find myself far from Warzone’s greatest. I mean, after all, if I was the greatest, I would have a title belt strapped to my waste. But anyways, I respect you Montel. You are a one of a kind athlete. With that being said, how am I supposed to beat the unbeatable? You see, Montel is no push over. He is a former World Champion not to mention No Limits Champion. He has all the characteristics to go far in this business. He has beaten some of the greats in this business, and quite frankly I am stumped on finding his weaknesses. I guess his only weakness is his overconfidence. That is what I have to exploit if I am to ever topple MVP. Even then, I am not sure if I can beat this man. To tell you the truth, I am even a little frightened of getting into the ring with him. (Dreamer lets out a small laugh)But being afraid isn’t all bad. It means you care. That you are going to go out there and make those vital seconds in the ring matter. Don’t get me wrong Montel, I respect you and I fear you. Nevertheless, I am going to go out there and give it my all. I won’t stop until I get what I want. And right now, what I want is to tell MVP that he isn’t the World’s Greatest. I want to knock him down a peg. I want his ego to fall like the damn read wood tree it is. And I know for a fact that MVP is already underestimating me like I am some damn amateur. I know that if I can even go out there and remotely surprise MVP to my skill, that my goal has been accomplished. I know, that if I can beat MVP tonight, that I will be sure to raise some eyebrows in management. And you know Eric, right now, a title shot for X-Pac and I would mean so much. (Dreamer changes his train of thought) No, I can’t think of that has yet to happen. Tonight, my opponent is MVP. I need to focus on him. Right now, I cannot guarantee you people a win, all I can guarantee you is that I will go all out for as long as I possibly can. Tonight, this meeting will be of biblical proportion. I will be like David, fighting the unbeatable Goliath. And in the end, I may not come out the victor like David did, but I will have definitely proved my point. [/color]
***With that, Tommy Dreamer drops the microphone and waits for MVP to come out.***
