Shovel Shot with Trace Demon

[Vestal]

Massacre returns from a commercial about all new Trojan condoms ...the ring is setup for the Shovel Shot...




It's just one of those days
When ya don't wanna wake up
Everything is fucked, everybody sucks.
You don't really know why
But you wanna justify rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away mother fucker!
It's just one of those days!


Sanction: Here comes Vestal...we have not heard from him since he was attacked by the Hounds of Hell...

Pain: Don't you remember that hospital encounter with our owner Tempest?

Sanction: Of course I do...he said Tempest is marked...I wonder what that meant...

Purple pyros go off as 'Break Stuff' continues to blare out loudly...as the pyros die down the silhouette of Vestal's figure is seen behind the smoke...the smokescreen is magically sucked into the stage revealing a serious looking Vestal wearing jeam shorts and purple boots...

Pain: Where is the shovel?

Sanction: He clearly said that he doesnt need it...

Pain: Yeah but I wanna see someone get whacked with it...

Vestal has made his way directly to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope...he is motioning for the music to be cut as he is handed a mic from a ringside offical...the music cuts off...

Vestal: Hounds of Hell...for the record I will get even and when it is all said and done, I will cock my leg over the both of you and piss on you...now Tempest you think I need the shovel...wrong bitch!

Vestal paces back and forth, looking irritated but thinking carefully...

Vestal: Consider this the last edition of Shovel Shot...I am not the peoples monkey...I am not your damn spokesperson, your interview bitch after today...in fact as far as the XWA goes...yall can kiss my arse!

Vestal rips down the Shovel Shot sign and proceeds to kick the setup around...he rushes to the ropes facing the rampway...

Vestal: You see the thing is Tempest as much as you think you control me...you are seriously mistaken...I have just been guided by a fool...I don't need your money...in fact you can consider me a free agent after this segment...I am done with the XWA...

Vestal leans down hard on the top rope, looking like he is gonna drool as now anger is coming across his face...

Vestal: So Tempest you think it was smart to sign DGX back to the XWA...that clown has done nothing but left the XWA in the lurch, he comes prancing back in the XWA thinking he is due a shot at Rose...not so smart Tempest...you will see that Rose will cripple that silly son of a bitch's ass again...DGX, if you survive Rose, guarantee this I will end your career for good...think Prison from Hell was hell...and by the way DGX you got Tempest to blame for all your future troubles...

Vestal snaps around and walks around to the centre of the ring...

Vestal: Now for all you Vestal deprived Aussies...you guys get to witness the last show and witness one of the WFWF's biggest stars...that's right Trace Demon is gonna come down here...I am gonna let him speak his mind...now Trace, you came here to be Tempest's little bitch...Tempest as Alex Sean stated is all mouth and just likes to shoot his mouth off...now lets face it Trace, you don't need to be Tempest's bitch...you know and I know that you can beat Calvin Lee with your eyes closed...it is just Tempest that cannot beat Calvin Lee...

Vestal walks to the corner looking right at the camera...

Vestal: Trace...you can still turn back Tempest's offer...become a free agent...join me in protesting Tempest and his XWA...his vision is to become some momma pop show, my vision is to bring extreme back to these rings...but I need numbers...you don't need to answer me this week but next week Trace I expect an answer...and if you're not with me...then consider yourself marked!

Vestal turns away from the camera...

Vestal: So Trace...come on down and give these Aussies something bigger and better than the likes of DGX and Tempest...come on down and be part of history....

Tag only to Trace Demon

[Trace Demon]

The chords of “Death Before Dishonor” hits as the lights dim low. Trace Demon walks out onto the ramp, kitted out in a black expensive suit. There's no flashy show, just a grin on Trace's face as he walks down to the ring, entering between the top and middle rope. Keri Thames enters the ring and hands Trace a microphone.

Pain: So what will Trace Demon's choice be?

Sanction: It has to be said that if he joins up with Vestel then they could very well be the biggest threat the XWA has seen.

Trace Demon: Nice speech there man, very powerful and all that. I get that you got a problem with Tempest, and you've clearly got problems with the Hounds of Hell as well. Doesn't seem like you got many friends around here, but you know something, that's okay, there's nothing wrong with being the unpopular one around here. I mean look at me, I never got anywhere by having friends.

Trace pauses, shrugging his shoulders at the restless fans who clearly do not want to see him align himself with Vestel.

Trace: But you've got things wrong, I ain't Tempest's bitch, I ain't Tempest's anything. I didn't ask Tempest to come here, he asked me and let's face it, why would I need any excuse to come in here and kick Calvin Lee's ass? Your right, I can beat Calvin without the help of Tempest, and I intend to, and after I make Calvin Lee pass out I don't intend to take out whatever enemy Tempest makes next, I intend to do my own thing and take out whoever I damn well please!

The crowd cheer as Trace nods in satisfaction.

Trace: But let's face it, you make some good points. I'm not gonna be a part of some kids company and I don't intend to soften my ring style for anybody, even Tempest. But there's an old saying that goes 'better the devil you know' and if anybody recognises a devil it's the king of Demons, yours truly. So tell me Vestel, what makes you, a shovel swinging extremist, better than a pencil pusher like Tempest?

Vestal looks at Trace, just smiling...

Vestal: I think you answered your own question Trace...kids company and pencil pusher...I know what you are all about and you don't fit in to this whole scenario, you need to do what you do best and that is wreck those XWA bitches and make em tapout...

Vestal walks right up to Trace, just grinning...

Vestal: Now either you gonna be yourself and join me...or be a XWA robot and do what they want you to do...which means you please the fans in a different way, a teddy bear kind of way or you can please them by doing what you do best...being Trace Demon...

Vestal holds out his hand...

Vestal: Now what do you say Trace? You are not gonna be alone in this fight...infact there is more of us...

Vestal keeps his hand held out...as Trace ponders his decision, the fans are chanting his name and yells of don't do it are heard from several fans...

Vestal: Don't listen to them, they will make you soft...

Trace looks at the hand, clearly pondering the decision he has in front of him. He looks around the arena at the fans and hears their shouts of disapproval of the gesture. Trace returns his eyes to Vestal and brings the microphone to his lips.

Trace Demon: See, you contradicted yourself just now man, you told me to be myself and join you, but joining people has never been a Trace Demon thing to do. I ain't no sheep, I don't follow people, never have, never will. So my biggest problem with this whole proposal is the idea that I'd have to follow you, cause that sure as hell wouldn't happen.

The crowd cheer at Trace's apparent refusal of Vestal's proposal but Trace holds up his free hand to silence them.

Trace Demon: I'm not a follower Vestal, I'm a one man army. If things go the way you say they're gonna go, then I'll be leading my own war. But if that's the situation, then it means we'll be on the same side. So I'll be keeping an eye on what's going on and you show me that Tempest is truly gonna run this company into the ground, then I'll make my move. So, let's see what you and whatever friends you have can do, and we'll see where it leads.

Vestal just shakes his head, chuckling to himself...

Vestal: I respect that you told me where to go with my ideas Trace but get one thing straight...I am no follower either, I just share ideas and I have a few new found friends to introduce you to...

Trace looks around, almost as if he was gonna get jumped...

Vestal: Don't worry Trace this is not the time or the place for it but consider yourself a marked man if you dare cross my path...now you Aussies are witnessing the start of something new...a new movement with a new cause...the cause is to shutdown this XWA and take it over...mark this on your calenders...come on out boys!

Trace exits the ring, becoming a spectator on the outside...

The familiar entrance music of AFI's 'Misera Cantare (The Beginning)' hits the PA system to a chorus of booing from the Aussie crowd in attendance. A few seconds later Diamond Jack Sabbath, Hazard (with his HardCore title), Drake Dysfunction, Raine, Natasha Young and Amy Taylor strut their way down the ramp and into the ring.

PAIN: The Legion is in the house!

SANCTION: Oh dear God no...please don't tell me Vestal's...No!

Sabbath grabs a mic and clears his throat as the music cuts.

JACK: Trace Demon. Trace! How've you been? Long time no see! I've not seen you since the day I walked out of the WFWF! How are you doing?

SANCTION: I wish he'd get to the point.

JACK: Now then Trace, you said that if you agreed to Vestal's proposal you'd have to follow him but you see that's where the problem in all this lies. You think you'd be following someone. The point is you wouldn't. What Vestal is offering you is a life where you need not follow anyone. A life where these corporate bosses and slimy businessmen can't touch you. A life where you can be your own leader on your own terms! This was the life that was offered to Vestal himself who gladly and wisely accepted. He saw what was being offered, he saw the flaws in the current system and opted to follow a new system with much more freedom.

Jack puts his hand on Trace's shoulder.

JACK: Has it...has it clicked yet? Have you any idea what we're trying to say? Yes? No? Just a bit? Well I'll give it to ya!

He points to Vestal.

JACK: This man, this legend has just made history. Oh yeah, the hints have been there for weeks but mark this day ladies and gentlemen; tonight Vestal joins the Legion!

A massive pop/boo follows this statement as Jack raises Vestal's arm into the air. The other members of the Legion clap.

SANCTION: Oh my God no!

PAIN: History has been made, Mark! Vestal has joined the Legion!

SANCTION: Oh I know, Pain!

[Vestal]

Vestal is grinning, looks over at Trace...Trace has no emotion on his face clearly having no intereest in what is going on...

Vestal: Now you guys are probably wondering why I joined the Legion and to be honest...it's simple.

Vestal looks at Jack then extends his hand and shakes it once more...

Vestal: This man is alot like myself...he has been short changed throughout his career, yes he may have been the mastermind behind the kidknapping of my family but lets just say I was the mastermind behind the demise of Ciaren...Ciaren was warned and the Legion was smart they distanced themselves from him...he had his chance but I had mine and I gave it to Rose...and the rest is history, so as far as DGX telling us to stay away from Rose...that is no problem as he has helped the Legion and take this warning DGX...in no way will you EVER tell me what to do...I will tell you this DGX, if you get in our way...you will end up like Ciaren and be permantly wiped out...

Vestal pats Hazard on the back...

Vestal: Now this fella, he has been battling to make a name for himself and trust me...he will as my promise to you Hazard after your brother has disposed of DGX's challenge again...you will get what you deserve...

Vestal again looks over at Trace...

Vestal: Trace, I want to let you know that the Legion will leave you alone...as long as you keep to yourself...if you want to try and make a name for yourself through the Legion...be warned that you will become marked, taken out and disposed of...

Vestal's face becomes serious and looks right into the camera...

Vestal: Tempest...let me make this clear to you...real clear, the Legion is growing and it is only a matter of time before the Legion takes over the XWA for themselves...I make this vow to the Legion that I will be the real Vestal...and I will destroy the XWA at whatever cost...and soon all you minions will be working for the Legion...

Vestal smirks...then looks around at the Legion nodding in approval...

Vestal: Laugh and be cocky all you want Tempest but trust me when you are laying face down in a pool of your own blood...you aint gonna be laughing...as history has always been in my favour Tempest...you aint gonna beat me...I am going to beat you, I will beat you Tempest and when I am finished I am gonna do what I havent done in a long time, I am going to shove your carcass into a bodybag and dispose of you the way I should have years ago...XWA rest in peace!

AFI's 'Misera Cantare (The Beginning)' begins to play, the Legion members all unite their hands...the crowd boos are heard as the group celebrate this moment...the scene fades out...
