(FADEIN:  Commissioner Chad Merritt’s office.  Merritt is sitting at his desk reviewing some files…)

PA V/O:  Mr. Merritt, I’ve got someone demanding to see you regarding contract negotiations with Michael Randalls.

MERRITT:  I wasn’t expecting anyone.  What’s his name?

PA V/O:  He says his name is Stu Padayhol – he’s saying that if you don’t meet him you can kiss Michael Randalls goodbye.

MERRITT (obviously disgusted):  Send him in Patrice.  (CUTTO:  A sixty year old man with white hair, white mustache, white leisure suit and pink time comes walking in.)  You've gotta be kidding me!

PADAYHOL (in a Tony Clifton type of tone):  Now, you listen here Mr. Merritt!  (slams his briefcase on the table)  I’m not here to negotiate!  My client is sacrificing a lot today in order to be reinstated!

MERRITT (with a raise of an eyebrow):  I’m listening.

PADAYHOL:  Well, look at what he’s willing to wrestle for if you reinstate by the next SHOWTIME... (hands Merritt a piece of paper) I think you’ll like it very much…

MERRITT:  You gotta be kidding me…so Randalls is willing to sacrifice almost HALF his guarantee?  So what's the catch?

PADAYHOL:  Catch?  I don't know that I'd call it a 'catch' per se...

(FADEOUT…but the picture FADES back IN to a shot from PADAYHOL in a dimly lit section of a parking lot from his behind.  All of a sudden we see him tearing something off his face…)

PADAYHOL (in a whisper):  “That’s right, I am not kidding you.  THE JAGUAR never kids.”

(The scene fades out as we see a cloud of smoke circle around him…)

(CUT TO: Wicked Sight is backstage, preparing for his match with Evan Aho later in the evening. He’s walking down the hallway backstage in nothing but a pair of blue jean shorts when Rose enters the camera’s view from behind, running to catch up with him. The two are standing about five feet away from the Playboys, Inc. locker room, with Sight leaning against a Pepsi machine.)

R: It’s a done deal, he’s going to pull through for us.

WS: What in the world are you talking about, babe?

R: Well, I’ve got a surprise for you, I think you’ll get a kick out of it.

WS: Well, tell me what it is, darlin’.

R: Just because we’re back in Arkansas doesn’t mean you get to talk like a hick.

WS: Hon, what is it you did out there?

R: Let’s just say that I don’t think Sammy Benson will make more smart-assed comments about you when we’re through with him.

WS: We? I’m not into dealing with broadcast personalities, or did you forget?

R: I know you’re not down with messing around with broadcasters, but I know someone who is.

WS: I’ve got a match with Aho tonight, and he’s nothing to kid around with… Plus, I’m not a comedy routine anymore; baby, Wicked Sight is for real. You know that, the ClaimStakers know that, Playboys Inc. know that, Merritt knows that… what don’t you get?

R: Well…

(Coming down the hallway is none other than Cardigo.)

WS: Cardigo…

(Cardigo stops for a moment, nods at Sight… then enters the locker room of Playboys Inc. before Sight can say anything else. Rose looks at Wicked Sight and tries to say something, but he cuts her off.)

WS: I’m not going to get involved with Benson… you do what you’d like but don’t get somebody on my tail that’s going to drag me down.

R: I’ll make sure he announces that he’s doing this on his own accord…

WS: WHO?

(As the cameras cut to the back the camera picks up on Apocalypse and Miso walking around in the back. Dressed in his wrestling gear, Apocalypse is getting himself ready for his match when, out from the right, EWI Owner Erik Zieba appears.)

EZ:  Hey Apoc, I'm glad I caught up with ya before your match.

A:  (with a weird look)  Why?

EZ:  Merritt just hunted me down and he wanted me to tell you to do the job for your match against Radder.

A:  Do ... WHAT???

EZ:  Hey big man I know I'm not in agreement with it either, but Merritt feels that since Radder is in the IOC and all he doesn't want him to lose in a match outside of it.  So, to be sure, he wants ... actually he ORDERS you to take the fall.

A:  (getting in Zieba's face)  And you .... are in agreement with this?

EZ:  Hell no man!  I tried to fight for ya, but you know Merritt.  He feels he's the big gun around here and whatever he says is law.  Especially after his suspending of Randalls and firing of Flair.  The man won't listen to me.

A:  Rotten Son - of - a (bleeped)!  What?  The job I did against Evan Aho wasn't good enough for him?  Just because he was in a title picture and all he made the same order.  I'm about tired of Merritt's Sh---

EZ:  Yeah...stuff I know.  We'll get over this I'll take care of it.

A:  (putting his finger in Zieba's face)  No Zieba, we tried your tactics.  Now I'm gonna introduce Merritt to mine...

EZ:  (watching Apocalypse and Miso walk away)  Apocalypse DON'T!!

(He tries to call to them, but it doesn't work as his voice falls on deaf ears.)

EZ:  Even I know it's not wise to cross the (bleep) boss ...

V/O:  In conjunction with the CSWA, U-62 is proud to present LIVE from Little Rock, Arkansas....CSWA PRIMETIME!

(As the patented CSWA light show comes to a close, the camera cuts to the commentators' table.)

BB:  Hello wrestling fans!!  This is Bill Buckley, as always joined by former CSWA manager Sammy Benson, here in lovely Little Rock for CSWA PRIMETIME.

SB:  Lovely?  It's covered in snow.  This is the SOUTH...it's not supposed to get below fifty degress!

BB:  It's December, Sammy...it happens.

SB:  But it not supposed to!  I didn't even pack a coat!

BB:  We've got a full card tonight, folks...nine matches in total, and I think we've got the gamut covered.  We've got Casper Cais debuting against Dreammaker, former World Champ Tom Adler facing off against XXXstasy, former US Champ Nemesis taking on relative newcomer Jackson Thorne, and IOC competitor Eddy Love going against Johnny Lang.

SB:  It'll be a nice tune-up for the Legend Killer.

BB:  Wicked Sight and Evan Aho meet up in what promises to be a stellar matchup....and on the other side, we've got Apocalypse and Steve Radder renewing an old feud...that one could get ugly real quick.

SB:  I wonder how Apocalypse is recovering from that hilarious beating Eddy gave him a few weeks ago?

BB:  Look Sammy, he's right behind you!

SB:  WHAT?  WHERE?

BB:  The Greensboro Title is...

SB:  That wasn't funny.

BB:  ...is on the line as Sky Suicide defends the title against wrestling veteran Jean Rabesque.  The Unified Tag Team Titles are on the line in a rematch when former champs Simply Stunning try to get revenge on current champions Foreign Exchange.

SB:  And Teri will be at ringside...WHOO HOO!

BB:  And in the Main Event....well, let's take you back to PRIMETIME in Mobile to show you what set this one up....

(CUTTO:  CSWA PRIMETIME in Mobile, December 8, The Playboys vs. The Claimstakers)

BB: Hornet now has Troy and he whips him into the corner and charges... ANOTHER HORNET SPLASH! TROY IS OUT COLD, SLOUCHED IN THE CORNER! Hornet now climbing the ropes, and is pulling Troy by his hair up to the second rope.

SB: Hornet wants to end Troy’s career completely! I can tell by that look in his eyes that he wants to break Windham’s neck!

BB: I think Hornet wants to piledrive Windham from the top! Wait-- someone-- someone just hopped the railing and is on the apron-- IT’S CARDIGO! IT’S CARDIGO MYSTERIAN! WHAT”S HE DOING HERE?(The crowd blows the roof off the place once they see who it is.) HE HAS THAT BRIEFCASE AND HE JUST NAILED HORNET IN THE HEAD WITH IT! HORNET IS HUNG UP ON THE TOP! NOW CARDIGO IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE WITH HORNET...

SB: YES!!! YES!!!

BB: CARDIGO HAS HORNET AND PILEDRIVES HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE! OH MY LORD! OH MY LORD! CARDIGO ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, AND POINTS TO THE HEAVENS! THAT ONE WAS FOR HIS BROTHER! AND EDDY LOVE SOMEHOW CRAWLS OVER WITH THE COVER!!!

SB: YES!!! YES!!!

BB: LISTEN TO THIS CROWD... (all of them count along with Ben Worthington and Pee Wee Troutman’s synchronized count.) ONE..... TWO...... THREEEEEE!!!!!!! THE PLAYBOYS WON! THE PLAYBOYS WON THANKS TO SOME HELP FROM CARDIGO! WE’VE GOT TO GO!

BB:  Hornet felt like he had that Main Event match won when Cardigo interfered on behalf of Playboys, Inc.

SB:  When Eddy Love goes to the fair....

BB:  Yeah, yeah, we know.  But all that sets up tonight's Main Event match, when Hornet and Cardigo go one-on-one inside a steel cage.  Eli Flair has been fired from the CSWA for his actions against Sweet Melissa in that match at mobile....Mike Randalls has been suspended for his attack on Kevin Powers at the last SHOWTIME....and that leaves Hornet and Poison Ivy as the only members of the "Claimstakers" left!  And if you don't know Cardigo's history by now...then where have you been?  Cardigo is determined to get his hands on Hornet...he feels Hornet represents the worst of the business in the past five years... and Cardigo believes this is his chance....somehow, by hook or by crook, Playboys Inc. has gotten him back in the CSWA, despite the fact that Commissioner Merritt despises what the man did years ago.  We're going to take our first commercial break of the night...when we return, we'll hook em up!
