After the opening video, AMBITION fades into a camera as it pans around the world reknowned Georgia Dome.
Stanilus: ATLANTA! GEORGIA! AMBITION is HERE! Our second stop on the AMBITION BY DESIGN TOUR BRINGS US HERE for our latest episode of AMBITION TV. I’m your host, Stan Stanilus and I’m joined as always by my broadcast colleague, “The Voice of Reason” Stu Grant.
Grant: HOTLANTA! It’s good to be here. I remember coming here during the early days of freaknix! Mmmm…talk about good times.
Stanilus: What?
Grant: Relax Stan, I won’t talk about that night with the Luke Dancers…
Stanilus: Stu!
Grant: Oops…well at least we don’t have to worry about censors, as always we’re on A WholeNutha Network!
Stanilus: That’s right Stu, and we have an exciting show ahead, including a main event match that will determine the latest entrant into the Quest For Success.
Grant: Especially now that we know what the Quest For Success is!
Stanilus: “The Braun Bear” will face off against the first AMBITION Champion, “The Raging Demon” Athrin. The winner will be one of 32 men that will go through quite a process to earn a shot at the AMBITION Championship. I’ve also received notice that not everyone will be forced to participate in a “win and in” match to be entered. Kodeine has selected several wrestlers that he believes have already earned the right to be entered.
Grant: And Bullshit…isn’t one of them? He lost to Kyle Williams on our last show and he’s officially out of contention…
Stanilus: Quite frankly, I’m glad that whiner isn’t in it.
Grant: ….no comment… let’s just get to the first match of the night,
Yamashita Goro vs. Austin Astro.
After the match, Kodeine is in the office provided to him by Georgia Dome management, it’s lavishly decorated, and just for Kodeine it’s stocked with a full liquor cabinet. But instead of taking a drink, Kodeine is blowing smoke after pulling on a menthol cigarette, across the table from him is an absolutely livid, Hector Gotcha. The former AMBITION World Champion was drugged by Kodeine and left behind at the last spot on the tour.
Gotcha: What the hell is wrong with you?
Kodeine takes a slow puff and blows a cloud of smoke into the air.
Kodeine: I just wanted you out of my hair for a couple of weeks, but I see your dosage wasn’t as strong as Level’s. I mean you’re already back in my face, and ready to beg for a rematch. Well since I couldn’t stall you long enough, let me make this clear. You aren’t getting a rematch. It’s nothing personal…even though the fact that I don’t like you much may have brought me solace after making this decision. I’m changing rules around here. There are no rematch clauses anymore….if you want another shot at the title, you’re going to have to earn it….in the Quest for Success. Not only that but you’ll have to win to get in…
Gotcha sits in disbelief before quietly getting up from the table and heading for the door. Before he exits, he looks back at Kodeine.
Gotcha: Schedule the match. I’ll win, get in, and win it all…
As Gotcha closes the door the camera pans back to Kodeine.
Kodeine (laughing): Good luck.
The action heads back to ringside for the second match of the night, a mixed tag match which features members of Bitter By Design: Johnny Bombay & Jeska Rose vs. members of God’s Gift: Kevin Valentine & The AMBITION Women’s Champion, Persephone.
Stanilus: If Bombay and Jeska win this match, God’s Gift should just cancel any thoughts of getting any title shot or anything else for that matter.
Grant: Well this match actually has a stipulation that benefits BBD, Stan. If BBD wins, Jeska gets a shot at Persephone’s Women’s Championship. If they lose, Jeska will be forced to work her way up the ladder in the AMBITION Women’s division instead of being treated like the international superstar that she is.
Stanilus: Really? Well this does add a bit of mystique to this…let’s get to the match!
Backstage, interviewer Andre “Ice Cold” Jones is with none other than AMBITION newcomer, “Flyin” Phuc Nguyan. The camera pans up and down for build up and finally stops at Nguyan’s face as he is all smiles.
Jones: Phuc, do you mind if I call you that?
Phuc nods his head in agreement.
Jones: You sent a jolt through the AMBITION locker room and the fans on our last show when you pinned out ASPIRATION Champion, Daisuke Shimura. I have to ask, how do you feel?
Phuc: I feel good Jones. Not just good, I feel Phuc N. Good. I’m doing exactly what I’ve always wanted to do, and that’s wrestle in front of sellout crowds of great wrestling fans, and I got that opportunity. I really want to thank Genichiro Eiji for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to team up with him and Apollo Suzuki. It was the chance of a lifetime and I nail—
Phuc Nguyan and Jones are interrupted by Daisuke Shimura, along with the members of Kurenai, Tora and Ryoku. All three men rush in knocking Phuc to the floor and immediately proceed to stomp him while Daisuke snatches the microphone from Jones. Ryoku and Tora lift Phuc off the floor and hold him so Daisuke can smash him in the head with the microphone! This continues repeatedly until Apollo Suzuki runs in for the save! Apollo lands a forearm to the ASPIRATION champion, sending him reeling, but there is still strength in numbers while Phuc is attempting to get to his feet. Ryoku irish whips Apollo into Tora dropkicks Apollo’s feet from under him, sending him the concrete floor with a resounding thud. Daisuke follows up that by kicking Apollo directly in the side of the head! With Apollo incapacitated and bleeding on the floor Ryoku and Tora continue to beat on Phuc Nguyan.
Daisuke: Eiji !!!! This is what all your honor gets you. A kick in the Phucin’ head.
Daisuke kicks Phuc in the same manner as he kicked Apollo.
Daisuke: I’m no fool Eiji. Many months ago, a masked man attacked me, claiming to defend your name, your honor. I know now that man must have been Phuc Nguyan…do you have anymore pupils you wish to send my way? My soul yearns for the next time we meet in the ring. Because it will be you, whose blood will pour onto the floor….I will see to it.
The action heads back to ringside as we are prepared for the next match, Bret Lei vs. JJ Adams.
Stanilus: So our next match is Lei vs. Adams, care to shed some light on these two, Stu?
Grant: When AMBITION opened it’s doors there was one wrestler that I hoped they would sign. One wrestler that I thought would excite the fans, put on great matches that would impress his peers backstage, and be the best ambassador for marketing and advertising that AMBITION could ask for, his name is Bret Lei. Some call him “The Last Dragon”, he truly is an international wrestling superstar.
JJ Adams is another wrestler that I’m happy that the fans will get to see. While I certainly don’t subscribe to JJ’s egotistical attitude. I will admit that he’s good. Not just good, he’s great, and the fans are definitely in for a treat from the 2011 Kickoff Cup Winner.
Stanilus: Here you go talking about this….Kickoff Cup, no one saw that….
Grant: Anyone that hasn’t seen can order it on-demand on a WholeNutha Network!
Stanilus: Spare me Stu….let’s get to the match!
After the match, the members of God’s Gift – Kevin Sanders, Kevin Valentine, Persephone, and “Hollywood” Adrian Starr are in the locker room discussing tonights events.
Kevin Sanders: Johnny Bombay is an asshole, he’s overrated, overhyped, and if I see him backstage, I’ll snatch that mask off his face and break his nose.
Persephone:…And don’t even talk about Jeska, you know they say this bitch hardly speaks? How am I supposed to work with a frickin’ mute? Maybe he’s deaf or dumb, I think I’ll go with –
“Dumb. Or how about stupid? Just like you all look right about now. So far from Perfectshawn”
Everyone in the room looks up at the door to see the group’s leader Perfectshawn Stephens dressed in a black and yellow striped suit, black shirt, and yellow tie.
Perfectshawn: I’m terribly disappointed in you folks. You let a bunch of FPCPP rejects get in the way of what’s inheritenly hours?
Persephone: Oh he must be talking to you guys, I’m the women’s champion.
Perfectshawn: That’s faced no real competition. You need that match with Jeska as much as she want’s it.
Valentine: And what do you need?
Perfectshawn: What?
Valentine: You march in here after a your “hiatus” or “sabbatical” or whatever you want to call it and throw barbs at us? What give you the right?
Perfectshawn: Because I’m going to win the Quest For Success, that’s why.
Elsewhere backstage, Bitter By Design members Acid Rain, Paintdblack and Johnny Bombay are in Kodeine’s office, each of them with a gold title belt around their waists.
Paintdblack: I HATE not having a match tonight.
Bombay: Leave the HATE to me. Enjoy the break, give your body a rest.
Acid Rain: Kodeine. Any sign of him?
Kodeine: Who? Pwnstar?
Kodeine sits back in his chair and puffs on a cigar.
Kodeine: Haven’t seen him or heard from him. Look kid. I know you’re eager to prove yourself as champion…hell this goes for all of you. Appreciate your moments in the spotlight, these don’t last forever. Soon enough you’ll be defending that gold.
Back at ringside the announcer’s table is already abuzz with the return of Perfectshawn Stephens.
Stanilus: Perfectshawn Has RETURNED! This is big for AMBITION! It’s big for God’s Gift!
Grant: I agree Stan, Perfectshawn Stephens. Say what you want about his attitude, but you hve to give credit where it’s due, Stephens was one of the top wrestlers in the world when he was active, can he return to his former glory?
Stanilus: Speaking of glory, one of the teams in our next match thinks they are very glorious.
Grant: You’re right Stan, Evan Essence and Justin Credulous are a hot young tag team that had a successful run in Southern Texas Federation before being signed to AMBITION recently, and…are you ready for the tie in?
Stanilus: Go for it.
Grant: Both men are graduates from “The House of Perfect” Perfectshawn’s training dojo. The same school produced Kevin Valentine, Hollywood Adrian Starr, and Stan Vasic, who I’m sure will be one of the favorites to win the Quest For Success if he’s entered, considering he won DPW’s Cutthroat Cup last year.
Stanilus: Vainglorious is facing off against another young tag team, “The Keymaster” Chris Locke, and Skyler Storm are collectively known as Team Tech Crit. I look forward to seeing what these two teams have in store.
Grant: As you like to say Stan, Let’s get to the match!!
After the match, “Remedy” by Cold blasts through the arena and AMBITION’s General Manager, Kodeine walks down to the ring. He’s dressed in a leather bomber jacket, jeans and a black AMBITION T-Shirt.
Stanilus: Something big must be coming if Kodeine is coming out here.
Grant: You can say that again.
Stanilus: Something—
Grant: It wasn’t literal.
There are a mix of cheers and jeers from the crowd for Kodeine, and he wastes no time telling them all off.
Kodeine: Would you all shut the hell up?! Come on…give me a break. All the cheering and the booing, I got some important shit to talk about…
Quest For Success.
The crowd cheers.
Kodeine: What did I just say?
Kodeine pauses and actually enjoys the boos from the crowd.
Kodeine: I’m going to make this quick. As you probably know, some AMBITION superstars will have to win to get into the QFS.
Others….well let’s just say there are priviledged…oh and by the way, I am taking bribes.
Kodeine laughs and some of the fans laugh along with him.
Grant: Dispicable.
Kodeine: I’m going to announce four superstars that have already “earned” their way into the Quest For Success. Drumroll please….
The sound of a drumroll plays through the speakers and the camera pans up to “Leveltron”
Kodeine: DeMario Luster.
The crowd boos as the announcer’s booth discusses the selection.
Grant: No surprise there, he’s been one of Kodeine’s favorite guys since he got here, remember how they screwed over Bullshit in his debut?
Stanilus: Luster has earned it Stu, there are very few young up and coming wrestlers that have been as exciting.
Kodeine: Number 2….Former Primetime Champion, Vinny Santangelo!
The boos from the crowd get louder.
Grant: All the so-called tough guys aren’t going to have to earn their way in it seems.
Stanilus: Former Primetime Champion, that’s all that matters.
Kodeine: Selection number 3….Cygnus Orion.
Grant: The big guy with the big ego?
Stanilus: Orion is a star in the making, no surprise there.
Kodeine: Last but certainly not least…number 4 goes to…..
But Kodeine is interrupted by the tune of “Black and Yellow” by Wiz Khalifa as Perfectshawn Stephens walks out onto the ramp with a microphone.
The crowd cheers as he lowers his hand to quiet them down.
Perfectshawn: Kodeine, my old friend….I’m back, and I’m sure my name is the 4th one on your list.
Kodeine: What makes you so sure?
Perfectshawn: Hmmm let’s see….2X LWA Champion, 2X SFW Intercontinential Champion, UBL Trial By Fire Winner, and the accolades just go on, and on, and on, and on. Just like my….
Kodeine: Dickhead? You certainly are one of those. Well listen Richard Cranium. You’ve been gone for months, what makes you think you can just walk in here and start making demands?
Perfectshawn doesn’t respond at first simply scratches his head as “Hollywood” Adrian Starr comes out from backstage with a gold plated briefcase. The crowd remains silent as Starr holds the briefcase up for Perfectshawn to open, the camera zooms in to show stacks of green bills.
Perfectshawn: Mr. Benjamin says I can. He says there’s enough of him to go around that both me and my boy Adrian here are in the Quest For Success.
Kodeine: Sounds like a deal to me.
The crowd boos at this shady transaction taking place right before their eyes. They start to boo, but it’s not long before the words all AMBITION fans love to hear are shouted.
“MAAAANNNNN!!! That’s some BULLSHIT!!!”
The camera pans around the arena and finally spots Bullshit walking through the crowd as fans part ways for him to get through while patting him on his shoulder pads.
Bullshit: These assholes can buy their way in, but Bullshit can’t get a shot at the Quest for Success because he lost to Kyle Williams? No offense to Kyle but he’s 7 Feet tall and plays a fucking saxophone, how the hell am I supposed to compete with that?!
A “Bullshit” chant starts from the section of the crowd closest to him and Bullshit starts to walk up the ramp towards Perfectshawn and Adrian Starr.
Bullshit: Because I’m not dropping stacks and making it rain on Kodeine’s lap, I can’t get any leadway? Everywhere I go, I have my fans, the Bullshitters screaming my name, I put asses in the seats and I put on 5 Star matches, and Above Average Shawn Stephens and his lackey are in the Quest For Success?
By this time Bullshit has made his way up to the ramp and is now face to face with Perfectshawn.
Perfectshawn: Say one more word boy, and I’ll make sure it’s the last word you say…
Bullshit: BULL----SHIT.
Perfectshawn throws a right hand that gets blocked by Bullshit and returned with a right of his own that sends Perfectshawn reeling, but it’s not long before Starr smacks Bullshit in the back with the briefcase, giving Perfectshawn a chance to get the upper hand. Bullshit struggles to get up in vain as they beat on him while Kodeine watches in amusement….
Outside the arena, Genichiro Eiji is outside next to an ambulance as both Apollo Suzuki and Phuc Nguyan are being carted off by EMTs. Standing next to Eiji is his assistant and translator, Mr. Watanabe. “Ice Cold” Andre Jones attempts to get a comment from Eiji but Mr. Watanabe quickly intercepts.
Watanabe: Eiji-san is deeply saddened by tonight’s events. He will address both the public and Mr. Shimura when the time is right.
Back at ringside, we jump right back into the action with a Women’s match, Honey Bunn vs. Darnesha Deanna Thompson
After the match, AMBITION Champion, Acid Rain is headed to his locker room with allies and AMBITION Tag Team Champions Johnny Bombay and Paintdblack a couple steps behind him.
Paintdblack: I HATE not having a match tonight.
Bombay: Like I said earlier, it’s good to have a night off. Enjoy it, rest your body, there will plenty of time to defend our titles.
Acid Rain: What the hell?!
Acid stops directly in front of his locker room, there is a picture nailed to the door.
Back at ringside, the booth is discussing tonight’s main event.
Stanilus: This is going to be one hell of a qualifying match for the Quest For Success, Stu.
Grant: Indeed it is. “The Braun Bear” Klaus Keller vs. “The Raging Demon” himself, Athrin.
Stanilus: Keller has been with AMBITION since day one, he’s one of those guys that just needs one big win to push him into superstardom, and tonight he has his chance, Athrin is the first AMBITION Champion. It doesn’t get much bigger than that.
After the match, Athrin celebrates and makes his way backstage. Despite what could be a severe neck injury Klaus Keller gathers himself to his feet, several fans applaud his toughness. But their cheering is interrupted as “Breathe” by Prodigy blasts through the speakers.
A stout man with dark red hair and beard to match bursts from backstage and runs to the ring, and thrusts and elbow into the side of Klaus’ head.
Stanilus: Who the hell is this?
Grant: Adalwulf.
Stanilus: Huh? What? Care to elaborate on that?
Grant: Honestly, I don’t know much about him. He’s from Lichtenstein, signed with AMBITION about a month ago.
“Adalwulf” is still in the ring continuing his assault on Klaus as the fans boo. He stomps him several times in the back before lifting and bearhugging him, from the bearhug position he carries him to the corner and rams his back into the turnbuckle before executing a picture perfect German Suplex!
Klaus lies center ring and is unable to get up after such a fierce match and subsequent attack. Adalwulf steps on him on his way back to the lockerroom, and adding insult to injury…spits on him.
