After the opening video, the camera doesn’t fade around the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida.
Instead the camera zooms directly into the center of the ring and zooms in on the former owner of AMBITION, Brian Stout. Dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie he taps on the microphone while taking in all the boos from the crowd. He stands there confidently, but because AMBITION’s former champion, Pwnstar stands behind him.
Stout: Anarchy. Chaos. Destruction. These are things that your new owner, Wholenothalevel and General Manager, Kodeine believe in. At the last spot on the tour, the two men had a brutal encounter. Neither of them have been seen since, which means the best person fit to ensure that the show runs in an organized fashion is yours truly.
Stout passes the microphone to Pwnstar, the crowd braces itself for the first words spoken by the former champion in months.
Pwnstar: The game is officially over. Kodeine, Hector Gotcha, Acid Rain, and all of you pathetic wrestling friends pulled the plug on my play center months ago. Since then I’ve waited in silence, alone, dejected. It wasn’t until Mr. Stout came to visit and spoke words of wisdom that I realized that everything in AMBITION is backwards. I was the hero, the main character, the protagonist, I should be on top, I should have never suffered a loss.
But Kodeine convinced Gotcha, the only friend I had, to challenge me. I will get my hands on both men, not because of vengeance, there’s no joy in that. But because it’s the correct order of things….the hero plays the game, wins the game, and gets his name etched at the top of the high scores list.
But first, I will get my hands on Acid Rain at Crescendo. The show is aptly named, A Crescendo is the peak of gradual increase, and since the beginning of 2011, the chaos around here has been gradually increasing. Backstage attacks, brawls between management, and the anticipation for the Quest For Success are all factors that have contributed. But chaos isn’t the only thing that has been increasing…hate has been increasing gradually as well. Particularly, my hate for everyone here, the fans included, but most importantly, the man holding my AMBITION Championship. Acid Rain……asking for a match with me is wrestling’s equivalent to writing your own obituary.
“You already Know What you Are” by A Day To Remember blasts through the speakers as Acid Rain walks out onto the entrance ramp with Jeska at his side.
A mix of cheers and boos can be heard for the champion who wears the AMBITION Championship across his right shoulder. In his left hand is a microphone.
Acid Rain: Great speech. Particularly impressive for a video game playing junkie. But Pwn, you and I both know the truth, all the speeches and self-worship mean absolutely nothing when we meet at Crescendo. With my title on the line, I can’t lose. It was me that called you out of the ditch you were hiding in. True AMBITION is proving yourself against the best, and I’m not afraid to admit, when you were on top you were among the best in the world. To be the man you have to beat the man Pwnstar, and right now, I’m the man. So at Crescendo, I hope you bring it. Pop as many pills and play as much Mario Bros. as you need to. Because it won’t be my funeral, your career will be dead.
Backstage, AMBITION interviewer, Andre “Ice Cold” Jones is with the NEW ASPIRATION CHAMPION, Genichiro Eiji! Alongside Eiji is his translator, Mr. Watanabe.
Jones: I think I speak for not only the AMBITION fanbase but the greater wrestling community when I say Congratulations Eiji-San! I’m sure it’s an incredible feeling, can you describe the response from the fans you’ve experienced in the past several days since capturing the title?
Mr. Watanabe translates for Eiji, and Eiji quickly responds in Japanese. Watanabe translates to English for Jones.
Watanabe: Everywhere I’ve been, the fans cry out from the street corners, in the markets, Menboku, Menboku. It’s a joyous occasion for all, it feels as if the victory was not just for me but for the fans as well. Especially at a time when my home is going through such great suffering..
Before Jones can ask his next question, the former Aspiration Champion, and former friend of Genichiro Eiji, Daisuke Shimura walks up to stand face to face with Eiji-San.
Daisuke: それは単純です。 私は１度あなたを打ちすえました。 あなたは１度私を打ちすえました。 我々は最高潮においてきっぱりとこれを解決します
Genichiro Eiji: あなた無脊椎ヒヒ。これは我々が我々の相違から目をそらすべきである時です。
Daisuke: 重要である唯一のことはあなたが受け入れるということです
Genichiro Eiji: 最高潮において我々はこれを終えます。
Daisuke nods and backs away slowly.
Jones: What just went on here??
Watanabe: Rematch at Crescendo!!! Best of 3 Falls!
Back at ringside the broadcast team of Stu Grant and Stan Stanilus are in disbelief.
Stanilus: Well…I would say welcome to AMBITION but you’ve been watching for a while! The inmates are running the asylum, no Kodeine and no Level. This could get ugly tonight.
Grant: It could. But so far we’ve added some significant hype to our next Pay-Per-View, titled Crescendo! Pwnstar vs. Acid Rain for the AMBITION Championship, Daisuke Shimura vs. Genichiro Eiji best of 3 Falls for the ASPIRATION Championship, and we already have Persephone vs. Jeska for the Women’s Championship!
Stanilus: Yes we do, we also will have a tag team title defense. The challengers will be decided tonight, as The Canuckleheads take on Jetto-Nasis for the opportunity to face off against tag team champions, Johnny Bombay and Paintdblack!
Grant: Yes and the winner will also take part in our Main event 8-Man Tag!
Stanilus: Well….let’s get to the match!
After the match, the camera shows Tony $tacks walking past a poster of JD Delphin before he approaches AMBITION women’s superstar Cat Fierce.
$tacks: The green is for the money… the gold is for the honey.
He motions toward his gold colored track suit which is adorned with green stripes. He’s also accessorized with a number of gold chains, rings and watches.
Cat Fierce: Umm….no.
Cat turns and walks away from $tacks.
$tacks: I forgot that mean bitch was married to Level once. She better learn to get in the lane I made for her.
$tacks shakes his head in confusion as the action heads back to ringside for the next match, Honey Bunn vs. Barbie Bomber
After the match, “P.I.M.P” by 50 Cent plays throughout the arena and Tony $tacks makes his way down to the ring.
Stanilus: Oh no…here goes this buffoon again. Why does he even bother…stick to the wrestling.
Grant: Stanley! Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.
Stanilus: I don’t know how much of a “playa” he is. He hasn’t had much success with the ladies since he came to AMBITION. The man said Pimpin was easy…well he hasn’t proved it. And honestly, I don’t want him to. It’s misogenistic.
Grant: Hater.
$tacks slides underneath the last rope and circles around the victorious Honey Bunn and licks his lips before helping Barbie Bomber to her feet.
$tacks whispers something in Barbie’s ear and she smiles and nods her head.
$tacks blows her a kiss before rolling out of the ring and exiting.
Grant: Well that seems like some pimping right there.
Stanilus: Oh give me a break. Let’s get to the wrestling. Jackasses like $tacks give wrestling a ba---
Grant: We’ve just received notice that AMBITION owner, Wholenothalevel has arrived at the arena. We are getting a camera to him right now.
Just as Grant mentioned, AMBITION owner Wholenothaelevel pulls up in a black Chrysler 300 and pops the trunk before getting out of the car. As he pops the door open and slides off of the leather seat to stand to his feet he tosses his aviator shades back into the car and heads back to the trunk and pulls out a black suitcase. A black and purple motorcycle speeds into the parking lot and parks next to Level ‘s car. Off of the bike hops the man featured in several AMBITION videos and advertisements over the past couple weeks. The man they call Nova.
Grant: Nova is here! Nova is here with Level!
Stanilus: Where’s Kodeine?!
The action heads back to ringside for the next match of the night as Scott Cramer prepares to take on Axelcubic.
Grant: I can’t believe it, Nova is here!
Stanilus: I’m really not sure this guy deserves as much hype as he has been receiving. I mean really? He’s known in some circuits but to others he’s a virtual unknown.
Grant: I can’t wait to see him in the ring so we can put your doubts to sleep.
Stanilus: Oh give me a break Stu, we’ve got Scott Cramer vs. Axelcubic in his AMBITION return; let’s get to the match!
After the match, the cameras zoom backstage quickly as a brawl is ensuing between Adalwulf and “The Braun Bear” Klaus Keller!
Adalwulf whips Keller into a pair of trashcans and he goes tumbling into the floor, the contents of the cans land all over him.
Adalwulf: You bastard, I can’t wait for Crescendo, I’m going to destroy you right now!
Adalwulf walks over slowly and raises his leg to stop Keller but Klaus grabs the bottom of Adalwulf’s boot and trips him just enough to send him to the floor. Keller slowly gets to his feet and stomps him several times before grabbing a steel chair from aside the opposite wall.
Klaus: You came all the way from Lichtenstein to America to get your ass whipped! Keller smashes Adalwulf across the back with the chair as the rarely seen AMBITION security team attempts to come in and separate the two men.
But Klaus shoves several security guards aside and prepares to strike Adalwulf with the chair again when an unseen large man grabs the chair and snatches it out of “The Braun Bear’s” hands.
The camera pans over to show……..Jarry?
Back at ringside Stanilus and Grant are as
as everyone watching. Stanilus: The Shredder? What’s next? The Ninja turtles?
Grant: Stan…that’s Jarry!
Stanilus: We’ve got delphin’s and bears already, I don’t want to see four little green men in an AMBITION ring.
Grant: It makes sense to me, Keller and Adalwulf are from Germany and Lichtenstein, and Jarry is easily the most famous wrestler to come from that part of the world. He must have some stake in all of this.
Stanilus: Oh whatever…more importantly that the Super Shredder is what is at stake in this next match, which is the right to compete in the Quest For Success. We have four of AMBITION’s newest superstars, “Pretty Boy” Pete Sellers who happens to be one-half of the team SexSells, Evan Essence who happens to be one-half of the team Vainglorious, Half-Life, and Pariah.
Grant: So we have 3 halves and one whole outcast?
Stanilus: Forget about that…let’s just get to the match!
After the match, a victorious Pariah raises his hands, Stu Grant joins him in the ring with a microphone to do a post victory interview.
Grant: Pariah. Talk about making an impact. Your first match on AMBITION TV and you completely decimated your competition and secured a spot on the Quest for Success. Any thoughts you would like to share.
Pariah: Thoughts? Thoughts are but an endless stream of consciousness, loosely related to the past, present, and the future.
Grant: Umm…but you have to be excited about being entered in the Quest a tournament that features some of the best talent in the world – JD Delphin, Hector Gotcha, Perfectshawn Stephens, with the winner getting a shot at the AMBITION Championship.
Pariah: I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to destroying everyone that stands in my path. But I’m not here for heartfelt interviews, or catering to these lazy good for nothing fans. I have the best set of skills on the AMBITION roster, and I’ll prove it at the Quest For Success.
The fans boo Pariah as the action heads backstage as Bitter By Design and God’s Gift members are on opposite sides of a hallway behind their female membership, Jeska and the Women’s Champion, Persephone, respectively.
Persephone: I just want to let you know you little cunt. That in just a few short minutes, when we take the ring, I’m going to prove to the booking committee and everyone in the locker room that you don’t deserve to be in the ring with a Goddess like myself.
Jeska looks Persephone up and down, and simply smiles, not saying a word in response.
Persephone: You don’t even have the balls to speak to me. It’s obvious you know your place. Kodeine obviously didn’t realize that. If he did, you wouldn’t be getting ready to face me at Crescendo….title shot. Give me a fucking break.
Just as Persephone makes her statement and before Bombay can respond, AMBITION’s General Manager, Kodeine walks between both groups. His face bruised and his right arm in a sling. In his left hand he’s smoking a cigarette.
“ Remedy” by Cold blasts through the speakers as Kodeine walks right out onto the entrance ramp and down to the ring.
Stanilus: Kodeine is here, and he doesn’t look like the encounter between he and Level at our last show went particularly well, at least from his perspective.
Grant: Yeah, Kodeine looks like he got his ass handed to him!
Kodeine puts out the cigarette on the back of his hand and grunts before calling for a microphone. The ring announcer hands him the mic and quickly slides back down to his ringside seat.
Kodeine: I know what you’re thinking….Wholenothalevel left me in traction. Busted me up pretty good and left me for dead. Those things are true. But there’s one factor that needs to be examined here. After a beating from one of the most imposing figures that ever put on a pair of wrestling boots.
I’M STILL FUCKING STANDING!
Now I hear he’s walking playing chum with my former partner from back in the LWA days. You two cockbags are made for each other! It actually warms my heart, or at least fuels my fire. You see, when I came to Level’s office several months ago and convinced him to bring back AMBITION, I knew I would have to deal with his big mouth, and cocky attitude looking over my shoulder at every decision I made. It wasn’t minutes after he agreed to fund the fed that he started providing his input. Before AMBITION folded it was me that was booking the matches that put asses in the seats and money in the bank. I can run this without the “bosses” creative control. He even reprimanded the entire locker room after our first show, and tried to show me up. A few weeks after I had my fill of Level’s “influence”…I drugged him.
There’s some laughter and a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd.
Kodeine: Damn right. I drugged him, I thought that would keep him out of my hair for a bit while I got the ball rolling creatively. Well that big mutherfucker didn’t stay gone for long, and he was right back in my ear. This time he had his boot pressed against it. So after he beats the hell out of me, my “old friend” Nova comes in the room, and laughs. At that moment, while I was starting to lose consciousness, I realized something. THAT I WAS ONE TOUGH SON OF A BITCH!
And that I wouldn’t stay down, bleeding on the floor, that I would get up, make it to the next show on my own and CHALLENGE THEM BOTH FOR COMPLETE CREATIVE CONTROL of AMBITION!
Stanilus: What?
Grant: A handicap match?
Kodeine: Me and the partner of my choosing versus Level and Nova at Crescendo. If they win, I will stay on as general manager and do whatever the hell Level wants me to for the rest of my career. WHEN THEY LOSE. Level carries his big ass back to the office and let’s me run this shit MY WAY!
“Get on My Level” by Trillville blasts through the arena’s speakers as AMBITION owner Wholenothalevel walks down to entrance ramp.
The crowd boos them both.
Level: What do you want me to say? I accept? I mean, really? Do I need to say anything? It would be my pleasure to whip your ass in the ring. You’re right. You are good for ratings, but remember this company is under my control. I run it the way I see fit, and at Crescendo, you’ll get it beat into your head that what I say…goes.
Kodeine: I’ll see you a---
Before Kodeine can finish, Nova sneaks out from under the ring and smacks him in the back with a steel chair. Kodeine clutches his already injured arm and braces himself for a beating. But Nova only kicks him hard enough to force him to roll out of the ring. Nova then grabs the microphone.
Nova: AMBITION! YOUR HERO HAS ARRIVED!
Nova spreads his arms wide and almost swallows the boos from the AMBITION fans.
Backstage, “The New Classic” Stan Vasic is face to face with his former mentor Perfectshawn Stephens.
Perfectshawn: It sure took long enough for us to run into each other. I’ve been looking for you Stanley. We should talk.
Vasic: You and I don’t have anything to talk about.
Vasic tries to brush past Perfectshawn who is blocking the way preventing him from going down the hall.
Perfectshawn: Yes we do. It’s just business.
The action heads back to ringside for the main event of the night. The members of Bitter by Design – AMBITION World Champion Acid Rain, the Tag Team Champions Johnny Bombay and Paintdblack, along with Jeska take on Pwnstar, Women’s Champion Persephone, and The Canuckleheads in an 8-Man Mixed Tag with Elimination rules and no cut play!
After the match, a triumphant Pwnstar stands in the middle of the ring. Over his music he can be heard yelling “Acid. Your days are numbered”.
Stanilus: GOODNIGHT FANS! WE WILL SEE YOU AT CRESCENDO!!!
