Immediately, a car pulls into the arena in a blind speed, protestors from PETA are scattered across the place as they dive out of the way. Suddenly the car stops still, before a door opens and a suited leg steps out. Within an instance, members of the mob rush forward. Police step in the way, in the knowledge that no violent actions outside of the arena can be condoned…
: It feels good…to be home.
The crowd ROARS in boos and it can be heard from outside as they see Samuel Hessingstock with his clown styled face paint, and Alyx St. Croix step from the vehicle.
Hess: Alyx, my…darling…can you please….get our bags. There are a few things I need to…address here…
Sam steps forward, towards the mob.
Hess: I know…I have done a bad thing and you people, you will all vilify me for life for my actions. I am now, a hated man…but that just means that MY job…is complete. I have made you all…hate me. You are all haters, just…like…me…and Mykeal. And tonight, tonight I will…pay dear Mykeal a small but significant visit…
Sam turns away from the mob now, shouts and screams heard as Alyx and he head away from the vehicle and towards the door of the building as...
A bass line begins over the PA system as the lights dim within the arena, the crowd all standing from their seats with a massive ovation. Drums kick in over the bass, with then a couple of guitar strums joining in. A small shred on the guitar begins before lyrics.
"Enemies" by Shinedown continues to play over the system as videos of the talent in other places continues to play over the tron screen. The camera cuts to the announce booth where a punk-adorned female sits next to everybody’s favorite mouthy hornball, Richie Trinks.
Maggie Mayhem: Good evening everybody and welcome to a special landmark episode of REVIVAL’s “VIOLENCE”... we are airing the twentieth installment here tonight.
Richie Trinks: That’s right. 20 episodes, two pay-per-views... and we are stronger than ever! People laughed, scoffed at us, but we are still here. And tonight, we have a special three-hour airing for all you fans in attendance and those watching at home.... WELCOME TO VIOLENCE!!!
Mayhem: Tonight we’re offering up an action packed show. We’ve got new debuts. We’ve already seen that Samuel Hessingstock is in the building... the action here is unpredictable folks!
Trinks: We not only offer up random acts of violence each and every week, but our action also features “The Cornerstone” Kerry Windsor taking on former Legacy Champion, the British Bomber...
Mayhem: We’ve got a triple threat match for the PRIMETIME Championship and... in the night’s main event...
Trinks: A main event that is a No-Disqualifications and offering up a stipulation, that whoever loses... they are to be fired and will no longer compete under the REVIVAL banner...
Mayhem: Richie, I couldn’t have said it better myself... because in tonight’s main event, Myke Adams will compete against Thaddeus Grey, and it will certainly be somebody’s last night!
Trinks: Enough chit-chat, let’s get on with some violence!!!
Kerry Windsor is seen entering the arena, with Cordelia Stevenson by his side. Unlike recent weeks, Kerry looks quite jovial as he and Cordelia proceed through the hall, nodding at various backstage workers with a smile. From a distance, a very familiar voice can be heard calling his name.
Jessica King: Kerry, may I please have a word with you and Cordelia please?
They stop and turn to look somewhere off screen where the voice came from. A couple of seconds later, the camera pans back, just as backstage interviewer Jessica King halts to a stop in front of Kerry and Cordy. Kerry turns and whispers something into Cordy’s ear, and he hands her his bag as she hurries off. Kerry then turns back to Jessica and gives her a quick look over, before smiling.
Kerry Windsor: My, well aren’t you looking quite astonishing tonight Ms. King.
Kerry’s compliment seems to catch her off guard. Her cheeks flush, and she smiles.
Jessica King: Why thank you Kerry. I was hoping to get a word with both you and Cordelia.
Kerry waves off the notion.
Kerry Windsor: There’s no need to speak to Cordelia. I’m right here, and I can tell you everything that you want to know my dear.
Jessica clears her throat.
Jessica King: Ok, well last week, you and ---
Kerry holds up a finger and quickly cuts her off.
Kerry Windsor: Let’s not dwell on last week Jessica. Let’s not focus on that which is no longer with us, that being the Revival Heavyweight title. Last week was symbolic, and last week was a message being sent. But that’s the past, let us focus on tonight.
Kerry offers Jessica a friendly smile which really throws her for a loop considering his angry demeanor over the past month.
Jessica King: Well you are certainly in a good mood for some reason.
Kerry Windsor: Why wouldn’t I be, Jessica? Tonight is going to be an amazing night.
Jessica looks at him skeptically.
Jessica King: Care to tell us why you think that Kerry? Surely you don’t think Ben Hanson plans on letting you walk out of here after the stunt you pulled last week. Surely you’ve got to know he’s going to try and get his revenge one way or another.
Kerry chuckles as she says this, and then he leans in closer to Jessica, holding his face inches away from hers.
Kerry Windsor: Exactly.
Kerry says this in a forceful whisper that causes Jessica to jump. The smile slowly fades away from his face as he slightly turns his head towards the camera.
Kerry Windsor: That’s what I’m banking on Jessica. Because then my point will be proven, and you all will understand ---
Jessica, slowly moves the mic from Kerry’s mouth back to hers.
Jessica King: Understand what Kerry?
Kerry lets out a little chuckle again, his eyes burning with enthusiasm now.
Kerry Windsor: That when you threaten to take away something that a man cherishes so much, the only thing that matters to him in the aftermath of that threat … is revenge. It’s a natural feeling Jessica, and if you put any man in my shoes, no matter how moral they claim to be, they’d do the exact same thing that I did. They’ll lash out. No one is above nature Jessica, not even your beloved “Metal Heart.” If Kerry Windsor is such a wretched human being, then your Revival World Heavyweight champion, is no fucking better.
Kerry spits those last few words venomously before taking a step back. The look on Jessica Kings’ face is one of shock and surprise. The delighted grin quickly makes its way back onto Kerry’s face as he pats a speechless Jessica on the shoulders, and then walks away.
The arena goes dark and the screen lights up with quick flashes of various images, all veiled beneath a lime green hue. Butcher knives, saw blades, machetes - each image accompanied by split-second screech. A stylized F logo appears and then the opening chords begin...
Mayhem: There has been buzz on the internet for the past week regarding some new faces coming to Revival and I think that some fans here know who is about to step through that curtain.
Panning the audience the camera sees fans holding up signs with the insignia peppered amongst the crowd under lime hued lighting. 'Whatever Happened to My Rock & Roll' by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club comes thundering out of the p.a. and a figure appears on the ramp, a silhouette of black against the green in the air.
Mayhem: And there he is, Canadian-American wrestling prodigy Finale. A former champion of promotions in Milwaukee and Boston. Despite those accolades, he hasn't been seen in the major leagues for quite some time.
Trinks: How the hell do you know all of that?
Mayhem: I have a cousin in Toronto.
Finale comes out wearing black jeans and a white 'Super Shredder' T-shirt, as well as a pair of black Wayfarers. There is support for him in the crowd as he motions for everyone to get on their feet. Luckily most already are. He jogs to one side of the stage and looks out at the crowd. He sees a sign with his logo on it and then turns to the camera. He grabs it and points to the sign.
Finale: Ain't that just the sweetest thing?
He shoves the camera man backwards to a pop and makes his way down the ramp, taking his time to milk the growing reaction. He rolls in under the bottom rope. He then walks to the center of the ring and stands with one foot on the middle rope and one on the top. He cups his hands to his mouth and yells "Naptime is ooooooooover." before hopping down. The music starts to fade and he collects a microphone.
Finale: Hey Nancys.
There's a pop from various pockets of the arena for his signature line.
Finale: For those of you don't know me, just call me Finale. You'll hear other names associated with me soon enough; Buffalo Butcher, Super Shredder, Sexual Tyrannosaurus and so on and so forth. They don't matter at this very moment. What matters is the fact that most of you don't know me. Sad.
He mimes wiping tears from both cheeks.
Finale: But never fear you're gonna get to know just who the hell Finale is reaaaaal quick. This right here?
Points to his body (up and down) and then points all around the arena with the microphone.
Finale: This is just the prelude, a little foreplay before penetration. And believe me, I intend to penetrate the shit out of this organization.
There's a pop from the audience and a brief 'PEN-E-TRA-TION' chant nearly gets going.
Finale: However for now I am here simply to introduce myself and give you folks a little something reminiscent of a mission statement. I could go through the list of my accomplishments, the opponents I've drowned in humiliating defeat, the places I've trained and whatever the fuck else. I could spit the painfully tired bit about how a new dawn is coming, how it's time a new era of paaaaain[/i] and all of the other ridiculous horse shit but I won't. I can't. You see it's not within me to cater to your expectations. I am not the guy to stand before you and say something that you've heard before nor to give you the same kind of match more than once. I'm a man of multitudes, you see. I change with the tides.
He pauses and then walks over to the turnbuckle and the audience is hot. He climbs and sits on the top turnbuckle, facing the masses.
Finale: You know in my scouting of Revival Wrestling, there were a couple of names that caught my eye. People that I've tangled with in the past, people that may want to see my blood smeared all over the canvas. That's fine, I invite them to come find me. Won't be hard. That goes for anyone else that has an issue with me, I'm making myself readily available for discussion. I won't be hiding in the shadows. That's impossible when you're soaking up limelight.
A pop for that line.
Finale: That being said, I'm not here to dig up old memories either. I'm here to create new ones. I'm here to take the audience on a magical journey of awe inspiring violence. Much like a man all of you are getting to know named Kyle Cross. Like him, I will give my all every goddamn night. When I am between the ropes we light the arena on fire, my opponents have no say in the matter. I intend on being the match of the night, every night.
Finale gets down and walks to the center of the ring. He looks out into the crowd with an eyebrow raised. They are cheering even louder now, his words were slowly winning over new supporters.
Finale: To hell with championships and my match placement on the card. Whether I'm setting the tone for the evening or taking it out with a bang, you motherfuckers that throw down your credit cards to come and see a show are sure as shit going to fucking get one when my ass is between those ropes. This business is about moments and I'm a habitual moment maker. This is one right here. In just a few short weeks everyone that has stepped in my way will look back on my words here tonight and say to themselves...
A beat.
Finale: "I should have seen this coming."
The audience pops big for that one. He holds the mic high in the air and then grabs the in-ring camera man. He draws him close and looks deep into the lens. He pushes his shades to the end of his nose and we see his eyes for the first time.
Finale: I am the end and you best believe the end is fucking nigh.
'Whatever Happened To My Rock & Roll' hits again as Finale tosses the microphone over his shoulder. He drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring, embracing the fans as he heads up the ramp. A 'Fin-a-le' chant starts up as he walks backwards towards the curtain.
Stan Hopeforth: The following match is slated for one fall... heading down to the ring sat this time... Polictically Incorrect's MOUTH himself... THEEEEODORE DRAAAAAAAAKE!!!
The arena lights flicker and the Revival fans give a mixed reaction to the sounds of "End Of Heartache" by Kill Switch Engage begin to play over the speakers. There's a moment of nothingness up until Theodore Drake steps through the curtain he smirks wide as he strolls down the aisle. Theodore Drake enters the ring and awaits Breanne Cayden.
Stan Hopeforth: And his opponent, from Scotland... BRRRRRRRREANNNNNE CAAAAAAYDEN!!!!
The lights of the arena go out and “Parachute” by Ingrid Michaelson sounds off from the PA system. Light blue and pink lights flash along with the beat. Brandon Cohen emerges from the curtains first, dancing to the rhythm. He starts to draw the energy of the fans as they move along with him. Soon, Breanne Cayden runs out and jumps on Brandon from behind. He laughs and helps her climb up onto his shoulders. When everything is comfortable and he stands up straight, she giggles and claps her hands, singing along with Ingrid’s vocals.
Double Forte make their way down the ramp together, Breanne playing to the crowd by clapping to the beat of the song while Brandon keeps them steady. The energy of the fans is high as they clap along with Breanne. Once the tag-team reaches the bottom of the ramp, Breanne-- with Brandon’s help-- shifts and moves so her feet are supported by his hands. Brandon launches the Scottish Empath up into the air and over the top rope. Breanne lands on her feet in the ring and applauds for the Vagrant Gamer as he slides under the bottom rope and into the ring. Once Brandon is up on his feet, he double high fives Breanne and white pyro shoots from the four ring posts.
Breanne and Brandon play to the fans as the lights come back on slowly. Once they’re completely on, the music starts to fade, but Double Forte and the fans are still clapping and cheering for each other.
DING! DING!
Trinks: This should be good. Theo Drake is gonna get his hands on fresh meat!
Mayhem: Breanne Cayden is looking to make her mark, shutting up one of the biggest mouths in Revival could be a good start.
The bell rings and the match begins. Breanne stands toe to toe with Drake, who offers a crooked grin before taking her by surprise with a big shot. He backs her against the ropes and continues hitting her with open fist blows, then whips her into the ropes. Breanne comes off the ropes and catches Drake in a sunset flip pin, but gets no count as Theodore kicks out. Both get to their feet and Breanne kicks Drake against the shins several times, then slaps some hard forearm chops across his chest.
Trinks: Ouch.
Mayhem: Those are some nice chops in there, very forceful. She's rocking Drake in a way he doesn't even like right now!
She whips him into the ropes, he reverses and sends her into the ropes. She comes off and takes Drake down with a cross body. Both competitors get back to their feet and Breanne catches a charging Theo Drake with a hip toss. She follows it up with a sleeper hold, keeping it applied for a few moments to wear Drake down.
Trinks: Man she's choking him out!
Mayhem: Very good showcase of her skills tonight. Drake better get his head together.
She then lifts him up in a DDT position. Drake counters the DDT and takes control with a HARD STO out of nowhere, sending Breanne Cayden's head bouncing off the mat and leaving her on her back. Drake grins and taunts her, then goes for the cover, thinking he'd knocked her out.
ONE!
TWO!!
Kickout!
Trinks: OH! He nearly had her!
Mayhem: That was a vicious STO, I didn't even know Drake could move like that!
Breanne gets her shoulder up. Drake lifts her up and whips her into the corner. He charges in and looks for something, but whatever it was we'll never know, as Cayden shoots her boot out into his face. He staggers backwards and Breanne runs and tackles him with a Lou Thesz press, beating him across the face with some vicious punches. The referee pulls her off, but she looks pretty upset as she holds the back of her head. She backs against the ropes as Drake gets to his feet, then moves in and comes up behind him, looking to hit a reverse DDT! Drake reverses, lifting Cayden onto his shoulder and then planting her with an Oklahoma slam.
Trinks: WOWSA! That was epic!
Mayhem: Very big slam from Theo Drake!
Theodore allows Breanne to stand then charges in at her. She catches him with a drop toe hold, taking him down on his stomach, then gets back up and climbs the nearby turnbuckles. Drake quickly gets back to his feet just in time to be the victim of a missile dropkick! Afterwards, Cayden makes a cover.
ONE!
TWO!!
THR... Kickout!
Trinks: Phew...
Mayhem: What are you sighing in relief for? God you're so biased.
Drake kicks out and Breanne goes back to work, she hoist him up and attempts to whip him, but he reverses and sends her into the ropes. She comes back with a swinging neckbreaker, taking Drake down. Breanne gets back up and backs away. Theo Drake gets back to his feet and Cayden charges, then leaps out and takes him down with a headscissors takedown, sending him back to the mat. She then stands and turns around trying to crush Drake with a standing moonsault, but he rolls out of the way. She lands rather hard and rolls around in pain. Drake lifts her up and sets her up for a powerbomb. The fans boo as he lifts her up onto his shoulders, but she reverses and sends him down with a hurricanrana!
Trinks: This is just going from bad to worse for poor ole Drake in there.
Mayhem: I'd say she looks ready for something big...
Breanne Cayden now gets to the corner, Drake staggers upright and into her clutches as she quickly lands a wicked Diamond Dust! Aka HEAVEN'S WRAITH!
Mayhem: Heaven's Wraith folks, that's what she calls that one! I think this is over...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Stan Hopeforth: And your winner... BREANNE CAAAAAAAYDEN!
: It feels good…to be home.
The crowd ROARS in boos and it can be heard from outside as they see Samuel Hessingstock with his clown styled face paint, and Alyx St. Croix step from the vehicle.
Hess: Alyx, my…darling…can you please….get our bags. There are a few things I need to…address here…
Sam steps forward, towards the mob.
Hess: I know…I have done a bad thing and you people, you will all vilify me for life for my actions. I am now, a hated man…but that just means that MY job…is complete. I have made you all…hate me. You are all haters, just…like…me…and Mykeal. And tonight, tonight I will…pay dear Mykeal a small but significant visit…
Sam turns away from the mob now, shouts and screams heard as Alyx and he head away from the vehicle and towards the door of the building as...
A bass line begins over the PA system as the lights dim within the arena, the crowd all standing from their seats with a massive ovation. Drums kick in over the bass, with then a couple of guitar strums joining in. A small shred on the guitar begins before lyrics.
"Listen up, there's not a moment to spare, it's quite a drop from the top so how're you feeling down there?
It's quite a cold, cruel, harsh reality, caught stuck with your enemies."
It's quite a cold, cruel, harsh reality, caught stuck with your enemies."
"Enemies" by Shinedown continues to play over the system as videos of the talent in other places continues to play over the tron screen. The camera cuts to the announce booth where a punk-adorned female sits next to everybody’s favorite mouthy hornball, Richie Trinks.

The lights of the arena go out and “Parachute” by Ingrid Michaelson sounds off from the PA system. Light blue and pink lights flash along with the beat. Brandon Cohen emerges from the curtains first, dancing to the rhythm. He starts to draw the energy of the fans as they move along with him. Soon, Breanne Cayden runs out and jumps on Brandon from behind. He laughs and helps her climb up onto his shoulders. When everything is comfortable and he stands up straight, she giggles and claps her hands, singing along with Ingrid’s vocals.
“I don’t tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
I don’t tell anyone about the things that we have planned
I won’t tell anybody
Won’t tell anybody
They wanna push me down, they wanna see you fall down!”
I don’t tell anyone about the things that we have planned

Breanne and Brandon play to the fans as the lights come back on slowly. Once they’re completely on, the music starts to fade, but Double Forte and the fans are still clapping and cheering for each other.
DING! DING!
Trinks: This should be good. Theo Drake is gonna get his hands on fresh meat!
Mayhem: Breanne Cayden is looking to make her mark, shutting up one of the biggest mouths in Revival could be a good start.
The bell rings and the match begins. Breanne stands toe to toe with Drake, who offers a crooked grin before taking her by surprise with a big shot. He backs her against the ropes and continues hitting her with open fist blows, then whips her into the ropes. Breanne comes off the ropes and catches Drake in a sunset flip pin, but gets no count as Theodore kicks out. Both get to their feet and Breanne kicks Drake against the shins several times, then slaps some hard forearm chops across his chest.
Trinks: Ouch.
Mayhem: Those are some nice chops in there, very forceful. She's rocking Drake in a way he doesn't even like right now!
She whips him into the ropes, he reverses and sends her into the ropes. She comes off and takes Drake down with a cross body. Both competitors get back to their feet and Breanne catches a charging Theo Drake with a hip toss. She follows it up with a sleeper hold, keeping it applied for a few moments to wear Drake down.
Trinks: Man she's choking him out!
Mayhem: Very good showcase of her skills tonight. Drake better get his head together.
She then lifts him up in a DDT position. Drake counters the DDT and takes control with a HARD STO out of nowhere, sending Breanne Cayden's head bouncing off the mat and leaving her on her back. Drake grins and taunts her, then goes for the cover, thinking he'd knocked her out.
ONE!
TWO!!
Kickout!
Trinks: OH! He nearly had her!
Mayhem: That was a vicious STO, I didn't even know Drake could move like that!
Breanne gets her shoulder up. Drake lifts her up and whips her into the corner. He charges in and looks for something, but whatever it was we'll never know, as Cayden shoots her boot out into his face. He staggers backwards and Breanne runs and tackles him with a Lou Thesz press, beating him across the face with some vicious punches. The referee pulls her off, but she looks pretty upset as she holds the back of her head. She backs against the ropes as Drake gets to his feet, then moves in and comes up behind him, looking to hit a reverse DDT! Drake reverses, lifting Cayden onto his shoulder and then planting her with an Oklahoma slam.
Trinks: WOWSA! That was epic!
Mayhem: Very big slam from Theo Drake!
Theodore allows Breanne to stand then charges in at her. She catches him with a drop toe hold, taking him down on his stomach, then gets back up and climbs the nearby turnbuckles. Drake quickly gets back to his feet just in time to be the victim of a missile dropkick! Afterwards, Cayden makes a cover.
ONE!
TWO!!
THR... Kickout!
Trinks: Phew...
Mayhem: What are you sighing in relief for? God you're so biased.
Drake kicks out and Breanne goes back to work, she hoist him up and attempts to whip him, but he reverses and sends her into the ropes. She comes back with a swinging neckbreaker, taking Drake down. Breanne gets back up and backs away. Theo Drake gets back to his feet and Cayden charges, then leaps out and takes him down with a headscissors takedown, sending him back to the mat. She then stands and turns around trying to crush Drake with a standing moonsault, but he rolls out of the way. She lands rather hard and rolls around in pain. Drake lifts her up and sets her up for a powerbomb. The fans boo as he lifts her up onto his shoulders, but she reverses and sends him down with a hurricanrana!
Trinks: This is just going from bad to worse for poor ole Drake in there.
Mayhem: I'd say she looks ready for something big...
Breanne Cayden now gets to the corner, Drake staggers upright and into her clutches as she quickly lands a wicked Diamond Dust! Aka HEAVEN'S WRAITH!
Mayhem: Heaven's Wraith folks, that's what she calls that one! I think this is over...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Stan Hopeforth: And your winner... BREANNE CAAAAAAAYDEN!
