A special press conference
[size=x-small]As the screen comes on we see what looks like a conference room. We see all the Warzone talent sitting in chairs in front of a small stage, on which a podium is placed. The wrestlers as well as Sid and Paul are talking amongst each other, neither of them seemingly knowing why they have been called here.[/size]
[size=x-small]Dylan walks in and walks up on the podium, performing a mic check before looking around, he then starts speaking into the microphone. [/size]
Dylan: *cough* Ladies and gentlemen… Warzone general manager Curt Cutlass.
[size=x-small]Dylan and Paul start clapping as Cutlass comes in from a side door, heading up to the stage, Cutlass stands behind the podium. He looks out at his ring talent. He places the Royal Crown championship on the podium in front of the microphone and begins to speak. [/size]
Cutlass: Gentlemen. Warzone has been its own brand since its inception in the middle of April now and I’d say we have seen a lot of success since then. We closed down Stars of X for nearly two weeks and also took from them their greatest price, the Federation X championship for months. Long story short we have been the dominant brand since the start.
[size=x-small]Paul claps.
Cutlass: Recently, a group of insurgents known as the board decided to buy me out and take control of the federation, limiting my power. Whilst I am sure we all mourn them stopping my visions for the future I assure you that they have only halted them. In fact I have a multitude of plans which we will implement now; I have gathered you here to let you all hear them firsthand.
[size=x-small]Paul cheers whilst all the faces groan. [/size]
Cutlass: First off. I plan to invest in a brand new set. We have to look much classier than those ruffians on Stars. Secondly, we will invest in new ring gear for all of you; again we need to look classy. Thirdly, since I am obviously the biggest draw on this brand I will from now on only wrestle on pay per view. Those idiotic fans will have to pay to see me. And I have something really big planned for…
[size=x-small]Suddenly the doors to the conference room opens and Francine Sackfist and two other members of the board come in flanked by security. They walk up towards the stage and Cutlass glares at them. [/size]
Cutlass: Francine… What do I owe the displeasure?
Francine Sackfist: Cut the bullshit Curt, we have some serious news to deliver. Go sit down before you lose your job.
[size=x-small]Cutlass looks shocked whilst all the faces clap and cheer. The security escorts Cutlass of the stage as Francine takes to the podium. [/size]
Francine Sackfist: Gentlemen, I have some grave news. When we the board took over Federation X we started going over all the administrative paper work for both brands, and the Warzone financial records… doesn’t look good.
Francine Sackfist: In the time Warzone has been on the air, Curt Cutlass has spent more than the shows yearly budget, mainly on things for himself. A multitude of sports cars for his rides to the ring, special furnishing for his office, among which we are talking desks made by rare African trees, water for his water cooler that has been transported from a spring in the French Alps, wines from Italy and a disturbing amount spent on… online porn and visits to strip clubs.
[size=x-small]Cutlass turns beat red as the wrestlers look at him. [/size]
Francine Sackfist: Basically Curt’s frivolous spending and constant ignoring of his financial advisers has shot Warzone straight in the heart. The board has agreed to pay off the debts Curt has amassed, but the brand will be closed down.
[size=x-small]The wrestlers stand up and all yell “What!?” [/size]
Francine Sackfist: Don’t worry, all of you have your jobs guaranteed. We have come to the decision of merging the rosters back into one show, on Stars. We have finished negotiations with the network Stars airs on to give us an extra hour of airtime to accommodate the larger roster. Some titles will be merged into the Stars title list whilst some will be dropped for the time being, to hopefully be re-instated later. Our non-ring crew doesn’t need to worry either. We have found positions for you all on Stars. Sid will be taking over backstage interviewing duties whilst Billy Ford, Stan Morris and Matt Link will be put in charge of our newly revamped website. Paul you will begin working backstage as an assistant producer, helping make sure that things flow backstage. In short, don’t blame yourself for Warzone failing, blame the man who spent your entire budget faster than Paul Heyman in a red light district. As of right now Warzone is disbanded and we hope to see you all back on Stars after Breakdown, since we obviously cannot shoe horn you in so close to a pay per view. Thank you for your time.
[size=x-small]Francine and the board leaves. Cutlass also gets up to leave but just as he reaches the door Aids Johnson slams it shut in front of him. Cutlass starts backing away from Aids but walks right into Ashraf, Styles and Mad Dogg. The rest of the Warzone locker room forms a circle around Cutlass, who is looking nervous. [/size]
Cutlass: Come on guys… you cannot blame me for being a little frivolous with money…
Sam Cornell: Get him!
[size=x-small]The entire Warzone locker room descends on Cutlass, beating him senseless as the camera fades to black. Text saying “Thank you for this time, see you all on Stars of X” appears on the screen before it all dies down. [/size]
