Main Event: 2023 30 Men WarTime Rumble & World title

[James Walker]

*The video shows of James Walker first arrival to ECWF for his debut against TJ Alexander last year then shows of what he does best on the ring. Then the writing text shows up after the video saying “This is the beginning of James Walker, true dominance will start soon…”. The video shows of his first title match at the PPV in the biggest stage of them all Wrestlefest VIII against Jay Reynolds for the Nex*Gen Championship then it shows all the highlights of the match that James Walker fought for a good match against Jay Reynolds and won the Nex*Gen championship then the writing text appeared again saying “Now I have won the first championship in ECWF, time to put work and recognition on Nex*Gen title against anyone who will try take it away from me. All of the successful championship defence from last year that his opponents failed to take away from him that James Walker prove to bring recognition to Nex*Gen title until the loss to Dan Anderson last year. During the night of his title loss at Friday night Revolution #171 the cameraman followed James Walker then James stopped walking at look at the cameraman.*

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: You wanna know what’s my next goal is and what’s next for Bulletproof Empire? Since the rumble is coming up soon, time for me to get to the top of the mountain to win a world title shot against the women Nikita Nikes! Now that’s too sweeet!

-Present Night of World War 4 PPV-

*While the camera shows FTX Arena in Miami, FL then a black SUV arrived at the rear entrance of the arena while James Walker gets out of the car to grab his luggage out of the SUV then starts walking to backstage doors to go to his locker room. The Cameraman follows James then shows his face that he is looking confident tonight. 

Demon: Here’s the Bulletproof Leader, James Walker and he’s looking confident tonight for the Wartime Rumble match. I’ve got a feeling that he wanted to win this match to earn a shot for a world title but now that’s changed cause this is for the world title cause Nakita Niles decided to put the title on the line on that match!

Matt Weiser: That’s right Demon, she wanted to put her title on the line but what number will she be entering at? We don’t know when she’s entering for that match tonight but first there is an exclusive interview from the Bulletproof Empire’s interviewer Josh Peterson as he is going to talk to James re the match.

*Camera switches to Bulletproof Empire locker room while Josh Peterson is standing beside James Walker who is getting ready for the match.*

Josh Peterson: Thank you for the introduction Demon and Matt Weiser, tonight I’m next to my Bulletproof Empire leader James Walker. James tonight you are competing in Wartime Rumble match and it’s now for the world title, your thoughts on your opponents?

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: Tonight I’ll be facing wrestlers from ICW, NFW, IIW, WGWF, XIX Wrestling, AUF, PWC, Modern Pro Wrestling and WWE: Damage. All of these great wrestlers who will be entering this match for the world title match, to be honest I was shocked that Nakita Niles decided to put her title in the line by entering this match as I have a enormous mountain to climb while I have these wrestlers in my way to get the world title. Let’s start with ICW Wrestlers, welcome to the show ICW wrestlers as you are in the greatest fed of ECWF which is the shark infested area of where you’ll be get mauled badly by a bunch of ECWF wrestlers and myself including who will give you a warm welcome then a sour goodbye as you’ll get your ass leaving ECWF to go back where you belong that you’ve failed your company cause no one is going to be in my way to get the damn world title before me!

*James Walker points the thumb towards himself.*

Josh Peterson: Now the NFW who is also representing ECWF as well he is….

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: Before you saying anything and yeah I know who’s this guy is cause that’s the man who lost to Bad Luck To’o. I’ve got a feeling that you’ll be in earlier than me and you will drained your energy while you got a heavy work to do to eliminate anyone, we have exchanged words in twitter since I’ve first joined. Now I’ve got the chance to kick your tired ass out of the ring as you won’t be winning the world title in the rumble. Last I’ve I check while I was Nex*Gen champion before I lost it, I was busting my ass to prove that I’m one of the best wrestlers on that very ring under ECWF flag and I’ve prove it correctly. Let me tell you this, if you’re still on the ring surviving that’s good enough for me toss your sorry tired ass out of the ring to send you packing away but if your not then what a waste of a great wrestler who got eliminated by someone.

*James Walker shows smirk on his face towards Josh Peterson.*

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: Now the wrestler who is representing IIW & WGWF Fred Debonair, welcome to the show Fred and make yourself welcome for a short while cause you’ll be sent back home with shame, that you’ve failed your beloved feds cause I know that you’ll be eliminated early cause I’ve got nothing to say to you that you’ll be beaten the crap out by ECWF wrestlers.

Josh Peterson: The newest wrestler in PWC, Hijo de la Muerta.

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: The man who is trying to be Pentagon Jr always saying Cero Miedo. Hijo, make sure you stay as long you can for PWC that you can show Cero Miedo to all the wrestlers in this match as you can cause once I’ve arrived and I’m going to send you back to ECWF’s training ground back to PWC. I have a mission to do and this is my mission, to all of the other west who is before me and after me, if you stand in my way then you will all suffer the wrath of the catalytic wrestler in ECWF James Walker cause I’m the man to win this world title by throwing all of your asses out to send you all back to backstage with your head hang down with failure. This is my night and also Bulletproof Empire’s night!

Josh Peterson: Your thoughts on the world Champion Nakita Niles?

*James Walker looked serious at Josh Peterson.*

“Bulletproof Leader” James Walker: Nakita I give you kudos for putting the title on the line against all the wrestlers in this rumble as I don’t know what number you’re entering cause you’re the champ. If you’re going earlier that shows you as a fighting champion as you have everything to prove that you’re a fighting champion. You worked your butt for this country and for your faction to get that world title to make these proud, as you won the world title in men’s division as a women to prove that you can handle guys like us and you send inspiration to all these women in the attendance to show that they can be like that one day in this fed. If we come face to face to the end and let me be the first to tell you may the best wrestler win. By the way Nakita, if I found out that you’re on the ring earlier then fuck the respect cause that is thrown out to the damn fucking bin. I’m going to give you a ruthless beating to drain your energy out of your body and guess what no more mr nice guy for me right now cause I’m gonna do whatever I want to do and do whatever I have to do get my WOELD TITLE BELT ON MY SHOULDER FOR THE BULLETPROOF EMPIRE! Nice guys or nice women don’t last cause bad guys do last longer, to all the fans who don’t like like then kiss my ass but to all the true loyalty fans of Bulletproof Empire for that I thank you for your true loyalty. Nakita I know you’re smart cause you ain’t going to start early cause I’m thinking you’re entering as last cause that’s not a fighting champion and to be honest I’ve would’ve gone last too if I was world champion also that’s what a bad guy would do so he or she would like to see tired wrestlers so they all can be toss out with out the hard work you could do. Since I’ve been to nice since I’ve arrived to ECWF cause it’s time for myself and Bulletproof Empire to break the rules and that’s what we are going to do tonight, so Nakita Niles be prepared for my ruthless aggression once I see you coming to the ring and I’m going to beat the unholy hell out of you so I can embarrass you and by the way I do have tricks up in my sleeve but I’ll never tell you anything to a paper champ. See you all and also see you at the ring Nakita cause your time of being world champion is over and the catalytic era will begin.

*James Walker leaves the interview with an evil smirk.*

Bryan stands against a brick wall. He has his arms crossed and you can see both of his tattooed arms.He looked up at the ceiling. The ceiling had some cracks in it and apparently he’s in the basement of the arena. It looks like a boiler room or maybe a janitor's closet. Dressed in his old school wrestling gear and just talking out loud.

“I sit here and I think about everything. I think about my ICW debut and winning the tag team titles. To go on the win streak with my sister Renee. Now joining a group of men that helped train me and make me into the beast, the real wrestling machine. I look at the field of competitors and see I have an uphill climb tonight in the war time rumble.”

Bryan steps forward and starts stretching.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime. To add my name to the list of all time greats to hold the ECWF world championship. In fact two of my mentors and trainers have held that very championship. The very title that is up for grabs and the very title that I will have around my waist on day. It’s the passion for this business that keeps me going. I started out under the name Chris Williams. No one knows that and I did a lot of underground fights. I fought in places that none of the wrestlers here would’ve survived. I fought to make a name for myself. I inherited a vast fortune from my deceased father. He left me all he had and there was no way I wanted to be known as the rich kid flashing his wealth everywhere. I had to make it on my own. I had to prove that I could do it. So I entered the wrestling world.”

Bryan said as he moved around like he’s about to grapple with someone.

“I stepped into the ring for the first time and beat person after person. I have held two championships but my run with both titles was cut short. I am still hungry and I want more. I signed up to be part of this huge battle royal or rumble. I wanted a shot at the gold. To me it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman. I’m suplexing you to the mat and breaking your limbs. Then I’m picking you up and tossing you over the ropes and to the floor.”

Bryan puts in his mouth guard and smacks the sides of his head. He yells at the top of his lungs as he takes out the mouth guard and places it in his bag. The duffle bag that is against the wall.

“Now a member of greatness, the best wrestling faction around. I have much I want to accomplish and with the help of Mark and his brothers I will get there one step at a time.”

Bryan continues to stretch as he runs his hands along the old locker doors that he sees. He has flashbacks of all the fights he had. The constant shots to the head he took. He now smiles as he’s ready for war.

“Rambo once said to win a war you must become war. You must become violence and pain. You must become the thing that you know, once you are that all bets are off. The title that everyone is gunning for tonight will be in our camp. When it’s over said and done. I hope everyone is ready for a changing of the guard.”

Bryan begins to kick and punch the air as he sees some of the people in rumble. He starts slamming each of them one by one. He starts suplexing some people and tossing them over the ropes. He sees his teammates and they are clearing the ring. He smirks a bit and continues to stretch.

“Greatness and gold go hand in hand. We are coming to take what is rightfully ours. We are coming to eliminate and decimate the fray and destroy the Cinderella story of Nikita. She will wish she never became a wrestler. I don’t care what you are or what you have done. In that ring we are all fighting for the same goal to be the very best. It goes for anyone out there tonight. You all will know that this is all for the life of the game. I’m undefeated like the song says and prepared for a man. A man who wants it all and will take what I want.”

Bryan opens his bag and puts on his head gear. He throws his bag over his shoulder as he heads upstairs. He smiles a bit as he’s ready to step between the ropes and show the world what he can do. He wants to show them all that he can do this on a big stage.

“We are exactly hours away from the big match. I can’t wait to get in there and throw down with some of the best and everyone else. You see the best showed me how to do this. The rest better be able to pass the test. I don’t care if you’re Grimaldi, Dan Anderson or whoever you are, that's not a Frenzy. You all will feel and be victims of the path of rage. Oh and no worries, the pain you’ll feel is nothing compared to the regret that you’ll have knowing. You know, knowing that you are not holding the very title you wanted and couldn’t have. I’m the enforcer for the best group around. I will hurt anyone who tries to stop us from winning the belt tonight. Get ready because the beast is on the rise and you all are just prey.”

Bryan then walks into the locker room as the scene fades to black.

Time moves so slowly… (July 2023)

---

The row of customers look bored and disinterested in the Wells Fargo bank, Las Vegas as the tellers try their best to keep upto speed with their needs. One of those customers is Fred Debonair, he’s tapping his foot and looking at his watch, as the door opens and two men walk in. Both face away from the customers as one begins to run a chain and padlock on the door, both of them pulling on masks; a Pig and a Buzzard… And both wearing gloves. A third person, a woman, walks around from the Manager's office, carrying a sawn off shotgun and also wearing gloves, pulls a mask on herself… A gruesome looking dead Nun. Fred looks up and backs off as the Pig approaches him with his own gun, pushing him against the counter. The Buzzard walks into the Manager’s office and drags out a man Fred recognises as his old partner, Eddie Suavero.

Pig: ”Alright we’re going to be in and out in no more than ten minutes! We didn’t really wanna bring guns, but it is what it is! If you keep quiet and do what we say, you know the rest!”

Eddie: ”Oh my Gosh, Fred?? What’s going o…-“

Buzzard: ”Hey you! Shut up…!”

Pig: ”In fact, both of you! Come with me in the Manager’s office.”

The man in the Pig mask grabs Fred and ushers Eddie along, into the Manager’s office. Fred takes himself behind the desk and sits in the chair as Eddie walks in and stands against the wall. As the Pig shuts the door he looks over to a corner and spots a huge safe over in a corner, he points it with his gun and looks at Eddie.

Pig: ”What’s in there??”

Eddie: ”That? That’s nothing, it’s just paperwork for th…-“

Fred: ”Eddie? Don’t be silly man… These guys have got guns bro, there are innocent people outside and you’re hustling over that safe? Look, do you remember when we worked together? The times we’d discuss how we’d rob a bank if we had the balls?”

Pig: ”Hey! Keep quiet…”

Fred: ”Yo, chill… I’m trying to help you here! Eddie… Safe combo hoss?”

Eddie: ”Fine… It’s sixteen thirty eight.”

Pig exits the office and sends in the nun who walks over to the safe, but waves Fred over with her gun. She tells him to open it as she keeps the gun on Eddie, outside things are still calm as Pig and Buzzard watch the customers and staff. Fred cracks the safe open and Nun leans down, head turned so Eddie is out of earshot and whispers.

Nun: ”You sure this is where it’s at?”

Fred: ”Well, that’s where he said be placed it…”

Nun: ”Okay yeah this will be the place… Let’s do it…”

Nun shuts the safe again, this time on us, sending us careering into pitch black…

---

Killing time… (6 months earlier)

---

The scene slowly reopens in the home of Fred Debonair, with everybody situated in the living room… Rufus Summersby has just finished detailing plans on a whiteboard as Fred rummages through a box. He pulls out three masks… A Pig, a Buzzard and a dead Nun. He chucks the Pig to Gerald, the Buzzard to Kai McKlintock and the Nun to Jane Dunbar.

Fred: ”I’ll get Eddie to talk, he won’t even trigger that I’m involved, I’ll just look like another victim in the bank. Gerald and Kai you’ll stay primarily outside. Once I’m in the office, Jane will take over with the safe, I already know there’s a double safe in the office.

Kai McKlintock: ”What does that mean?”

Jane Dunbar: ”It means that there’s a secondary safe door inside the main safe at the back. The safe will likely be placed on a double wall…”

Fred: ”Exactly, which is why we need your safecracking skills… Ok guys I’ve got to be somewhere, let’s pick this up again tomorrow.”

Fred fist bumps everyone, kissing Aurora as he heads out grabbing his jacket as the scene slips into darkness…

---

Time to ride… (A few hours later)

---

As we open the scene we find ourselves in a Poppy field, location unknown. Fred Debonair has just watched the gate trickle shut behind him and disappear, he turns and begins to walk…

Fred: ”So here we go again, another Battle Royal that Fred Debonair has been invited to partake in and hopefully not another one he falls short in… A thirty man over the top, sorry… A twenty nine man and one woman, over the top rope elimination match! This was always my favourite match growing up and when I was younger when going to shows, if I ever saw one on the card I would almost hyperventilate! And here I am, my third Battle Royal in just over double the weeks… First one? Fell short to fellow CCPE member J Mont, for the Ice Crown, kudos to him… The second one? Fell a little shorter to fellow CCPE member Peter Vaughn, for the WGWF World Title! Again, kudos to him… This time I step into the ring against these twenty nine other individuals for a prize so coveted, people like me, from outside of the ECWF, have opted to take part! In this match the one woman, Nakita Niles, is the most important cog in the wheel, because it is her World Championship that’s up for grabs. As they say, to the winner… The spoils, but it’s going to take a hell of a lot to get through these individuals who all want the same thing I do…”

Fred runs his fingers along the tips of the poppies, as he slowly makes his way through the field, looking up at the clear blue sky as he does so. He suddenly breaks through a row and finds himself on a dirt road which serves as a conduit across to another field. He looks left and right and decides to walk along the road, cursing himself for not packing some water despite knowing this would be a pretty long mission…

Fred: ”Thirty of us, representing ten different promotions and all hoping to decimate the competition and come out on top, being the last person standing in the middle of that ring whilst everybody else’s feet are on the floor, outside! And the interesting thing about this match is, I don’t recognise anyone else in this match… Not one person, although I see eighteen from the ECWF itself and I’m guessing they all know of one another but me? Fred Debonair? I’m definitely going to be an enigma going into the match, I’m sure… So who are these people that I’ll be taking on, in the Wartime Rumble? Well, let’s start off with Grimaldi, shall we? The Clown Prince of Extreme, or so he calls himself. Apparently he’s some really hipster rip-off, of a Juggalo, or something I’m really not sure if I’m honest with you but he even has a history of running with a “Darhk” carnival! Not much is known about this man, except the stories of horrific things he suffered growing up, things I’d rather not even hear about, but one thing I can safely say to you Grimaldi, is that you may think you’re sadistic, you may think you’re psychotic… But trust me when I tell you that nothing you’ve gone through growing up, is going to pale in comparison to what Fred Debonair has waiting for you…

There’s another guy whose face I can’t stand and that’s this oddball who goes by the name, Razor Blade… I mean I don’t want to speculate but I’ve got a feeling that’s not his real name ladies and gentlemen! This guy likes to talk a lot, that much I’ve learned from him recently and he has the fans on his side, well whoop-de-freaking-doo! Razor Blade claims to be better than anyone listening well, Razor or, Blade whatever let me tell you right now that you can be the best at whatever it is you do and Fred Debonair will still be better at it. Do you want to test that equation, Blade? Then you go right ahead son but you’re gonna find yourself in a place you won’t be able to release yourself from… Next up, third time lucky is a member of the relatively big stable, The Kingdom, a faction after my own name quite literally… “Ruthless” Jake Ryan. This guy is somewhat of a beast and I bet he presses quite a damn lot too! But I’m trying to work out if Jake Ryan is about to walk into his first match within this Battle Royal? Because I’ve seen him do a lot of whispering behind his stable-mates Rose and Ivy D’Angelo, Mike Dimter and the Jackson’s but hell I’ve never seen the guy speak or fight, for himself! Wait, that’s a lie! I’ve seen him get in the ring once against a female who basically ripped his world apart!

But enough about those two I’m wanting to turn my attention to a guy who’s running around committing copyright infringement on a global scale and that is Dan Anderson! “The Guiding Light”, well you’ll be happy to know you can keep that one but I’m afraid you can’t just go around calling yourself “The best in the world” because everybody knows that’s the man of the hour, The Kingdom… Fred Debonair! Also I’m gonna have to ask you to drop that future moniker you’re running around using too because Fred Debonair is the past, present and future. I am what made this sport and I AM this sport, are you getting it yet, Daniel? I mean let me clarify your resume? It's a damn impressive one hoss but next to mine? Heh… And experience wise I’ve got twice as much time as you have, youngster. Just like The Kingdom, the faux faction, not me of course! You’re part of a bigger faction, The Age of Fall… And like The Kingdom I’ve no doubt that you’ll be using that to your advantage… I mean it isn’t the same as being part of CCPE of course but it is similar to being part of Mecca and it’s always good to have your friends behind you, or beside you… But in your case that just isn’t going to help you, Dan! I’m not delusional either Dan, I’m well aware of your pedigree and talent, hell if you weren’t great in the ring you wouldn’t be standing with the ECWF Nex*Gen Title around your waist and you didn’t exactly beat three nobodies to win it! You’re also number one contenders for the Trios Championship but again, standing next to me you’re dwarfed!”

Fred continues walking along the dirt path, pulling a small tin from his back pocket, he opens it and pulls a spliff and lighter from inside it. He bites on the joint as he lights it then puts the tin and lighter back in his pocket.

Fred: ”Next up? Caine Marik, yet another individual who’s part of something bigger… The Rogue Horsemen, another man who’d held accomplishment after accomplishment, title after title whether in singles or tag action. I mean what is this? The Faction Rumble? So many people walking into this Battle Royal with people to have their back whilst I’m stuck on my own; woe is me… Not. I’m loving the thought of battling through these 29 others alone without any kind of assistance. But I feel Marik is probably going to have his own issues going into this match being as he’s currently the number one contender to Dan Anderson’s Nex*Gen Championship so depending on if they’re both in at the same time I guess they’ll be busy settling a few scores. And what of Daniel Keegan? The Savage King… The Damage Television Champion, you know I’m kind of noticing a theme here for the Wartime Rumble that includes faction’s and belts, something yours truly knows a lot about given as I’m carrying three and involved in one myself.

What to say about Erik Holland? I mean I’m kind of going past my own limitations considering as I said at the top I know nothing about any of these guys, except what I’ve learned myself recently… I mean this guy has quite literally stepped out of a horror movie right? He comes from Silent Hill, he’s known as “The Haunted” he sounds just like my deadbeat son Tyler, being institutionalised at a young age? You’ve got to be crazy for that… But again, another one of those guys who’ll look you in the eye whilst breaking your arm, he’s fought through adversity and he’s busting his balls to get ahead of the curve. The only issue is he’s now got Fred Debonair to contend with… And then there’s Triple A, what kind brother? Duracell? Energiser? Exide? Or does it stand for Annoying Assholes Anonymous? Except in your case of course you’re not very anonymous at all are you “Trips”? No but you are transparent, more so than Caspar that’s for sure. You’re this big beef-brained egomaniacal son of a bitch who probably thinks he’s doing someone a favour when deep down they just wish he’d leave! There’s also something about you hoss, you really remind me of somebody and I just can’t put my finger on it… Heh don’t worry it’ll come to me.

Andrew Walker… The Aussie Machine Gun! The current ECWF Horror-Core Champion! The brother of James Walker from The Bulletproof Empire. Man, I wish I could say I knew who either of you were but the truth is I haven’t got the first clue about you! But hey, at least I’m not going to do what every other person who comes across you does right? I’m not going to tell you, you’re vastly overreaching trying to climb out of your brother’s shadow… You’re both equally unknown to me. And this my brother’s keeper act? I’d drop it quick bro because it gets old… Robert Saints? The Viper… Fourth generation superstar, seven tours in the military and holder of Tag and Trios belts, but the question is, can you handle things alone? It seems like your best chances of success comes from teaming up with people… And once again, a member of a cult, sorry stable or faction within the world of Wrestling…”

Fred takes another drag on the spliff as he looks both ways throughout the poppy fields, exhaling smoke rings as he checks behind him for any oncoming traffic but it seems bare.

Fred: ”Another one I’ve got to get through is “The Badass” Mike Dimter, another member of The Kingdom… Just coming off the back of a tag loss alongside Jake Ryan against The Outsiders this brother is going to be on his heels ready to rock the rest of us, in order to become the new ECWF World Champion… But hey if members of The Kingdom can take each other out so easily, will they be able to sustain any kind of teamwork in the Rumble?? Jordan Jackson was taken out by his own teammates including his own brother who’s to say Ryan won’t turn on Dimter, or vice versa?! I think you guys might wanna be focusing on your own business, eh?? And speaking of The Outsiders, Angellus is another one who’s going to step through those ropes and stand face to face with Fred Debonair, but once again I feel these guys are going to have scores to settle with The Kingdom…

The right hand man, The Rising Star, The Next Big Hit… Jay Reynolds! Another member of The Age of Fall alongside Dan Anderson, another winner of Tag and Trios Championships! And I mean not for nothing but what is with everyone coupling or grouping up as of late?! And what about Damon Cross? This guy is probably the closest thing to me that there is, in this Battle Royal, a loner seeking and needing no friends and just being here to do a job… Sammeal McBane and Daniel Dream are two others that are standing in my way… And then of course there’s four ways a Frenzy when Mark, Matt, Chris and Will enter the fray! Jesus I feel like I’ve just introduced a three night gigging boynand! But make no mistake, each and every Frenzy is capable of causing pain and putting a hurting on you… But nothing and I do mean nothing comes close to the woman who’s going to show many man and has put many men through their paces, the woman who’s putting her belt on the line in this very Battle Royal.

There is a reason that Nakita Niles is the ECWF World Champion. There is a reason that Nakita Niles, is the only female competitor allowed to step foot into the men’s over the top rope Battle Royal, when there is a woman’s one taking place on the same night! There is a reason that Nakita Niles won the X-Factor event last year, why she won the Chamber of horrors match last year being the first female to ever have won it… There is a reason that Nakita Niles is only the second woman to have ever held the ECWF World title and the reason is simple… She’s that good at what she does! And I respect her for it, not because she’s a female because that would just be sexist if we’re being honest… No I respect her, her accomplishments are beyond what most men would have now after five years… But there is another reason that Nakita Niles is where she’s sitting right now and that is simply because Fred Debonair hasn’t been around! Like I said she’s that good at what she does but Fred Debonair is better than you at what you do! Fred Debonair has not been stepping in any other time she’s claimed an accolade or won a title! But he’s here now so Nakita? You can just go on and vacate or relinquish the belt… Your call.”

Fred finished the last of the spliff, dropping it on the floor and stubbing it out as he hears a car engine behind him and someone honking a horn. Fred stops, looks around and notices the old red farm truck come driving along the dirt road, as it pulls up he spots Rufus Summersby in the driver's seat. He rolls down the window and smirks at Fred.

Fred: ”Jeeze, about time!”

Rufus Summersby: ”Sorry, alarm didn’t go off then I had to triangulate where the gate was opening!”

Fred: ”So, where are we??”

Rufus Summersby: ”We’re in Zhouzhuang, China. In Jiangsu Province…”

Fred: ”And when?”

Rufus Summersby: ”1997…”

Fred: ”Are you shitting me?!”

Rufus Summersby: ”Get in the car, man…”

Rufus chuckles as Fred walks around the vehicle and climbs inside as he find the engine and they take off down the dirt road as we fade — to — black…

{The camera fades into a vast field somewhere in the world and after a few seconds of the camera panning around, we hear the odd whistling tune that is heard from somewhere before the camera pans over to see none other than the "Black Swan" himself, Caine Marik leaning against an old stonewall and whistling the tune}





Caine: I know, an odd choice but one that speaks to the level of insanity that I've chosen to do by putting my name into the men's world title match rumble at the pay per view since I already have a match for the Next Generation championship, right?

I mean a lot of you must be thinking that I might be trying to channel my father's late work ethic into me by trying to lay claim to two championships at one time during the same pay per view....

{Caine allows himself to smile}

Caine: It's a funny notion isn't? My father and I doing something so similar that it must be insanity for me to try it, right? 

{Caine starts to laugh like a madman for several long seconds before he suddenly stops and looks hard at the camera}

Caine: Except for my father did do it...and on several occasions during his long career in this sport. Sometimes he'd win a world tag team title match and then the biggest title in a promotion, both in the same night and he would never complain about the booking...not because it would get him quite the winner's purse in the end but because he enjoy watching the fans hate his guts because every time that the "Taskmaster" Eddie Marik said that he was going to do something, he fucking got it done!!

And at World War Four, that's something that I'm aiming to do myself...but not at the cost of loosing my focus on Danny-boy and his Next Generation championship.

My name isn't Graham Baker after all, it's Caine *FUCKING* Marik.  

And it doesn't matter if it's at World War Four, or at the next pay per view, or the next bloody house show...understand this as a fact of the future:

I am the next ECWF World's Heavyweight champion. and I will be enjoying my climb to the top!!

Be seeing you all.

{The screen then fades to black}
