[We return from action and see Carmen, The Queen of Xtreme, The Owner of the XWA, sitting in her office behind her desk. On top of her desk on her left, is her lap-top computer, and on her right is a combination phone/fax machine. Directly in front of her is a pile of paperwork that she is attempting to review. Carmen is going through the papers and entering information into her lap-top when a knock is heard at the door.]
Carmen: Come in….
[The door swings open and in walks "Darkstar" Damien Angelus, wearing a summer jacket over normal street clothes and he seems to be a little bit disturbed as he slams the door behind him and walks over to the desk and stands in front of it. Carmen looks up from her paperwork, and a confused look comes over her face as she wonders what he is doing here.]
Carmen: Damien Angelus… I was not expecting to see you today? Is there a reason you came down to Massacre? I thought I gave you the night off…..
Darkstar: Day Off? Yeah what is this another joke on your part?
Carmen: What do you mean?
Darkstar: What I mean is…. What in the hell is the meaning of this?
[With that, "Darkstar" Damien Angelus reaches into his jacket and pulls out an envelope, and tosses into the pile of paperwork that is in front of Carmen on her desk.]
Darkstar: Dammit… I want an explination as to what in the hell this is…..
[Carmen is a bit confused here as to what "Darkstar" Damien Angelus has just dropped on her desk, and proceeds to reach for the envelope, and pulls out a letter from inside and proceeds to read it to herself. Carmen then looks up from the letter and still holding it, looks at "Darkstar" Damien Angelus and responds.]
Carmen: I did not send this…. Where did you get it?
Darkstar: What do you mean you did not send it…. That letter states I have a match tonight against a “Mystery Opponent” , and states a Referee and a Special Stipulation have yet to be determined and I need to see you to upon my arrival to find out the rest…. It sure looks like a booking sheet to me, hell it is even on official XWA letterhead!
Carmen: But, I did not book you into a match this week…. Yes, it sure does look official, but I had no part of it… It seems someone is playing a practical joke….
Darkstar: A joke? You know how far I had to come to get her tonight? You know what I paid in airfare & hotel rooms to make sure I got here on time?
[Before "Darkstar" Damien Angelus can complain any further about his financial expenses in getting to the arena tonight for Massacre, another person is knocking at Carmen’s office door. Carmen attempts to cut off "Darkstar" Damien Angelus’s rant and answer the door.]
Carmen: Hold that thought a minute Damien…. I will get to the bottom of this…. Whoever is knocking, come in please!
[With that, the door opens and in walks Senior XWA Referee Thomas J. Tickles into the office, he is wearing his official XWA stripped Referee shirt, and looks ready for action. Carmen and "Darkstar" Damien Angelus both look over at Thomas as he enters the room. Carmen appears grateful that it is not another XWA Wrestler with a problem about a match, and goes to greet him.]
Carmen: Thomas… Good to see you….. Is there something I can do for you?
Thomas: Not really, I came here as requested…. I see "Darkstar" Damien Angelus is here and appears ready, have you picked out his opponent yet?
[Now, that comment seems to have taken both Carmen & "Darkstar" Damien Angelus by complete surprise, and Carmen is the first to speak up.]
Carmen: A Match? What match are you talking about…
Thomas: The Match you have me refereeing tonight….. The one with "Darkstar" Damien Angelus…..
Darkstar: So, you’re the referee for my match tonight?
Carmen: Wait a minute… I never set up a match, Thomas what are you talking about?
Thomas: Well, I am just doing as I was requested by the booking sheet that I was sent…..
[With that, XWA Senior Referee Thomas J. Tickles produces yet another envelope and removed the letter inside, which is also prepared on official XWA Letterhead, and reads it out loud to Carmen, before handing it to her.]
Thomas: It states, I am to report to your office at this time to referee a “Back-Office Brawl” between "Darkstar" Damien Angelus and a “Mystery opponent”… Now, I see "Darkstar" Damien Angelus is here as well, so has the “Mystery opponent” showed up yet, or should I just make a ten count and award "Darkstar" Damien Angelus as the winner of the match….
Carmen: I never made this match…. This is so strange…. No one besides me has access to this type of official XWA Letterhead….. Who is sending out these letters and arraigning these matches? Someone is making us look like a bunch of fools, and I want to know who….
Darkstar: So, if there is no match tonight, then I am not getting paid to appear?
Carmen: I never booked you for this or any match…. I was giving you the night off….
[Due to all the commotion between Carmen, Thomas J Tickles, and "Darkstar" Damien Angelus – none of them seen a 4th person enter the room, who decided it is now time to make his presence known.]
Mystery Man: That’s because I am still the XWA General Manager here, and I booked it, and that match starts NOW!
Carmen: You survived the explosion at XWA Legends?.....
Darkstar: I thought you were dead!.....
MadDog: More like extremely pissed off…..
[With that, MadDog charges at "Darkstar" Damien Angelus and drives the baseball bat into his gut, which causes him to double over, then MadDog raises the bat over his head and swings it down as hard as he can and breaks the bat in half over the back of "Darkstar" Damien Angelus, who collapses onto the floor.]
Carmen (Shrieking): This can’t be happening here!
[MadDog just smiles at her and laughs as he steps back a few feet, and picks his moment as "Darkstar" Damien Angelus gets back up on his hands and knees on the office floor, MadDog leaps forward and performs the move he taught his former protégé not so long ago…]
[MadDog stands over "Darkstar" Damien Angelus and kicks him over onto his back and places his left foot on his chest, and points at Carmen and smiles as he howls! Senior XWA Referee Thomas J Tickles does what he does best, and goes over to the beaten down "Darkstar" Damien Angelus who clearly has his back on the floor and makes the count.]
Thomas: 1…2…..3!
[With that, Thomas J Tickles runs from the room, for fear he might be beat up next as MadDog stares at Carmen and proceeds to raise his finger to his throat, and runs it across it to signify that the party is now over. Carmen is screaming!]
Carmen: What in the hell are you doing? Why are you here? I thought you were dead!
[MadDog smiles as he walks up the desk, that Carmen is sitting behind, and looks at the desk, and then decides he wants her complete attention, and goes to clear the desk, the only way he knows how, buy throwing everything onto the floor with one quick action! Carmen is upset and shocked by MadDog’s actions, but tries her best to not appear scared in the least.]
MadDog: It would have been good for you if I was dead right?.... You would have had the entire XWA all to yourself……. But you made one small mistake….. You hired Rose to plant that bomb….. He didn’t know, what you didn’t know… What no one knew…. The official XWA Limo that I ordered was armored…. It could withstand any blast…. I was able to leap out of the limo after the explosion…. However, once the door was open the limo was burned on the inside as well as out….. So it only appeared that I was killed….
Carmen: I didn’t order Rose to do that… I was not involved in any of it….
MadDog: Come on….You expect me to believe that?... I gave you the benefit of the doubt these past few weeks…. When you said you were going to find out what happened…. But did you find anything out?
Carmen: No….
MadDog: That’s because you did not want to know…..
Carmen: No,…. That’s not the case…. You have many enemies! There are a lot of people that could have tried to take you out…. Take Diamond Jack Sabbath for instance… One week after the explosion, He has some papers that made him General Manager in your place!
[MadDog smiles as he laughs.]
MadDog: You think I would allow someone like that take over for me in my absence?
Carmen: That’s what I thought too…. So I was looking into him as a suspect….
MadDog: He is not a suspect…. There could only be 4 people who could be suspects……
Carmen: With all your enemies…. How can you limit it to just four?
MadDog: Easy…. Because only 4 people knew what was written in that letter that the messenger gave me prior to the explosion….. And those people are Tempest….. DGX…… Rose….. And You…..
Carmen: But I didn’t do it! I swear on everything I own….. I didn’t do it…..
MadDog: As far as I am concerned….. There are 4 suspects……. But I believe only 2 could have done it….. Tempest has his hand full with his brother’s death, and he has his issues with Legion, so I believe he was not involved…. And, DGX was put in the hospital that night at Legends, so he could not have done it….. So that leaves Rose and You….. And it was so simple of you to have Rose do it…. And you had Rose be seen arriving in my limo, so he easily had the chance to plant the bombs…… And you made it so cameras were on him when he arrived, so everyone could see him leaving the limo just prior to the explosion…. And since it happened you half heartedly arraigned an investigation to find the culprit….. So, by simple process of elimination…..It has to be you!
[With that MadDog reaches over the table and grabs Carmen by the throat, as she screams for help, as MadDog proceeds to drag her over the desk towards his side of it MadDog then lifts Carmen high above his head with his one powerful hand and proceeds to choke slam her THROUGH her very own desk!]
MadDog: You did it!.... For all I did for you…. I helped you remake this company….. And this is how you repaid me….. So consider this your refund for your overpayment!..... And one other thing……. When you wake up…. I want you to read and accept this!
[With that, MadDog removes an envelope and places it on Carmen’s body.]
MadDog: Consider this my official notice….. I quit!
[With that, MadDog breaks out in laughter as he leaves the office, as the camera zooms in on Carmen, and we see that the letter MadDog left on Carmen’s unconscious body was his official letter of resignation from the office of General Manager of the XWA!]
