::scene opens up, solemn music plays throughout the arena, the arena lights go dim and we can’t see a thing but we can still hear the live crowd, and your friendly neighborhood P.O.W announcers as well::
Alex Pilgrim: And here we go fans, before we get to the action it seems that we’ve got a funeral of all things in store.
Tony Almanti: I’ve gotta tell ya Alex. I hate funerals. They give me the creeps, I’ve always had this deep fear that the body’s gonna get up and scare the hell out of me.
AP: That’s a new one on me Tony.
TA: It’s not something I’m giving you free reign to give me crap about, it’s just a thing I have ya know.
::the arena lights come back up and the ring is full of people, Ms. Larkin, the waitress from the asian joint, the stuardess, the elderly couple and other beautiful women and studly men dressed in all black, the women mostly have veils over their faces::
TA: It’s like DD’s graduating class in there.
AP: I hope the elderly couple wasn’t in his graduating class.
TA: Alex…….I don’t think you’re getting where I’m going with this.
AP: Well then what………oh…..I see. That ain’t right Tony!
::in the center of the ring is a stand, on the stand is a black casket, it’s closed, and the people are standing around it, there’s a large painted picture of DD sitting next to it
a man dressed as a priest is also among the crowd, he steps behind the casket and addresses everyone with a mic in hand::
Priest: Tonight, we pay our last respects to a man who fancied himself as a lover AND a fighter. A man who was a lover of all. And a man who was fit to revolutionize this business, but was taken from us far too soon. Tonight, we say goodbye to Mr. Macho Gespacho himself, young David Darien DeAngelo.
::some of the ladies begin to cry and dab at their eyes with a handkerchief::
AP: And where the hell did DD hire these people.
TA: What do you mean Alex? Those are genuine tears in being shed in there. We’re seeing the end of a fine young talent right here. After such a short amount of time with him.
AP: Genuine tears?…..maybe from a crocodile.
TA: Come on Alex, show a little respect! These people are sad, cuz their good friend is leaving them. These are people in mourning Alex.
Priest: David left this world, and our lives far too soon. And tonight, we’re going to open his vessel into the next life one last time to pay our final respects.
::two ring hands enter the ring and take position on either side of the casket, together they lift the lid gingerly and expose the upper half of David’s body
David is made up well, his face is pale and his face is free of his trademark shades, his neck free of his ascot, and he is dressed in a very elegant white suit with black tie and dress shirt
The people in the ring line up and begin laying flowers on top of the casket, some of them stop and say a few words before moving along and letting the next person go::
TA: It’s a beautiful scene in there Alex. It’s starting to get me choked up.
AP: Come on Tony, what the hell is the point of all this.
::the camera pans over to a fan holding a yellow sign which reads “R.I.P DD” Another sign is shown which reads “There’s a special place in hell for David DeAngelo”
the people finish up with their final goodbyes and the priest walks up to David’s body and places a penny over each eye::
Priest: To pay your way across the river styx. May you rest in peace David.
::the two ring attendants begin to close the casket as the fans begin to cheer and celebrate
before the lid closes David’s arm shoots up and he knocks the lid up again, the two ring attendants back up and David then kicks his feet up and the bottom half of the casket opens showering the crowd with the flowers that rested on top of it
David climbs out of the box and he stands mid ring looking out into the crowd::
AP: What’d I tell you, what’d I tell you?
TA: What do you mean Alex, this is a friggin’ miracle in there. My worst nightmare just came true, but it’s still a friggin’ miracle.
::the crowd starts a small riot as David stands there unmoving
his first inclination is to reach into his inner pocket and produce his shades which he slides onto his face
he then rips at his shirt and suit jacket pulling them open and exposing his bare abdomen, his tie still dangles awkwardly off of his neck as he reaches over and grabs a microphone from a ring hand::
DD: I don’t think so………I don’t think so. This is garbage. I’ve had it with these rumors, I’ve had it with these insider web sites and I’ve had it with these so called experts out there.
This match is my coming out party. Lance Erickson is helping out kids in school and is touting his own ability in the ring, and in the meantime he’s completely overlooking me. Just like everyone else, he just assumes that the rumors are right, or that I’m some kind of side show act.
You speak a lot of truths Lance, you’re a very honest guy. But you’re also a very delusional guy. You painted me with a pretty wide brush my friend. You said that I was a swinger, a lover of women, a party goer, whatever you wanna call it. And that second, I was a wrestler. That’s where you made your mistake Lance, I maybe a swinger, I maybe a lover of women, and I may be a partying machine. And it’s true, I am those things. But first and foremost, I am a wrestler. I am many things Lance, but being a wrestler always comes first.
The father over here actually put it very well. I’m a lover AND a fighter, but the fighter always comes first. I’ve had four and a half minutes with Black, and another two or so with David Marcus Hatfield. I’ve yet to be tested in the ring. Hell, tested, I can’t even delve into my repertoire cuz my matches don’t last long enough. Lance is gonna be the first guy that goes the distance with me, meaning he’s gonna be the first guy to get 100% Macho Gezpacho from bell to bell.
As I said, you want to tout your in ring skills Lance. Well believe me when I tell you, I’ve wrestled and beaten guys just like you Lance. Guys with big muscles, big brains, and all the talent in the world but they lack one thing. Backbone. You lack the guts, and the backbone to beat me Lance. You’ve gotta be willing to do whatever it takes in that ring. You’re the one that’s impressed with your own ground game and suplexes and what not. But you don’t seem to realize that I’ve got a counter for everything Lance, that’s something else I notice about your game Lance. You’ve got no improvisation. No imagination.
Tonight Lance, catch as catch can wrestling, wrestling the way it’s supposed to be is what I’m going to use to put all of this bull crap to rest. Rather than use racy videos, and fancy language, I’m going to get in the this ring here tonight, and for everyone that calls me a side show act, or a showman rather than athlete, or a f*g**t, or whatever else is being said about me these days. For all of THOSE people, I’m going to beat Lance Erickson, I’m going to beat him for all of them, and I’m certainly going to beat him for myself.
That’s right, for me. I know what I can do. And I know what I’m prepped to become in my career. And this win over Lance Erickson is going to prove that I’m the real deal.
::David drops the microphone, the crowd kind of sits in stunned silence, David had said some very serious things, but he still managed to say it in a way only that David could::
AP: I guess this funeral was more like a rebirth. DD wants us to understand that he’s the real deal in this business and not just some comedy act.
TA: Well can you blame him. The guy has impressed me with his small amount of time in the ring. And I’m certainly a big fan of his out of the ring antics as well. This guy is gonna be Television Champion at All In and everyone treats him like a clown.
AP: Well maybe if he didn’t act like a clown……
TA: Just drop it ok Alex.
::David loosens his tie and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor, he makes his way up the rampway and the entire arena is still silent as he makes his way through the curtain::
AP: Let me tell you something Tony, clown or no clown, this is gonna be a blockbuster match!
::David disappears from sight and the viewers file out of the ring one at a time and head back up the ramp as well as the scene fades to black::
