The camera pans around not an arena, as would normally be the case. Rather, it is panning through a large, expensive looking, pine room. The people here are not screaming madly. They are standing quietly and solemnly. It is a court room. At one table stands Declan Prescott. At the other stand a flashy dressed lawyer and one Big Daddy V, who seems to be sweating profusely from the effort involved in maintaining a vertical base. Judge Samantha Samuels enters the room and takes her seat.
Samuels: Be seated.
Everyone in the room, minus the security team, sit at their designated seats. Declan casts a nervous glance to Cara, who is sitting behind him in the audience section, which is completely full. She returns him an encouraging smile.
Samuels: Mr. Prescott.
Declan gulps and springs to his feet.
Declan: Mam, yes, mam!
Samuels: I can understand you're nervous, Mr. Prescott, but please try and relax.
Declan: Mam, I will try, mam!
Samuels: You will be representing yourself?
Declan: That I am, mam!
Samuels: You're obviously very wealthy, may I ask why you wish to defend yourself?
Declan: Ha! Good one, mam! Whatever gave you the impression I was wealthy? I'm in so much financial debt, if GIW goes under, I might as well just flee to Mexico. Heck, I had to steal this suit from a homeless man.
Samuel: What?!
Declan: Oops... shouldn't have said that...
Cara: I DEMAND THAT REMARK BE STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD!
Samuels: SILENCE! Where is the psychologist?!
A short, balding, elderly man in the audience rises to his feet.
Peter Oswald: I'm here, your honour.
Samuels: Are you sure Mr. Prescott passed the mental examination?
Oswald: Yes, your honour. Unfortunately for Mr. Prescott, being an idiot is not considered a handicap. He has the capacity to represent himself.
Declan: I resent that...
Samuels: Very well... Mr. Tolton!
The flashy lawyer rises to his feet and clears his throat.
Tolton: Yes, your honour.
Samuels: You will be representing one, Mr. V? Yes?
Tolton: That's correct, your honour.
Samuels: Very well. make your opening statement.
Tolton: Thankyou, your honour.
Tolton steps out from behind his desk and begins strutting back and forth across the front of the room. He begins pulling on his suspenders, as he does so.
Tolton: Your honour, Mr. V agreed to help Declan out of the goodness of his heart.
Declan: OBJECTION!
Samuels: You can't object opening statements, Mr. Prescott.
Prescott: I just did!
Samuels: SILENCE! Continue, Mr. Tolton.
Tolton: My client didn't have to appear at Global Impact Wrestling. He chose to. He wanted to give the promotion a helping hand. Through the course of this trial, I will show you, your honour, that Mr. Prescott was negligent in his duties as a promoter and showed complete and utter disregard for the well being of a man who was trying to help him.
Tolton returns to his desk and takes his seat.
Samuels: Mr. Prescott, you may now make your opening statement.
Declan slowly rises to his feet. He takes a sip from his cup of water, clears his throat and then taps his fingers on the desk three times.
Declan: Me, greater than sign, Big Daddy V.
Declan takes his seat, as an awkward silence fills the court room.
Samuels: Umm... yes... Mr. Tolton, please call your first witness.
Tolton: Very well, your honour. I call to the witness stand, The Boogeyman!
The camera cuts to a nervous looking Nicholas Vinegar and Daniel Hanson sitting in the Sentinel arena.
Vinegar: Well, I can only imagine what is running through the mind of Declan Prescott right now. Certainly not a pleasant day for that young man.
Hanson: Not for this company, either, Nick. If Prescott loses that trial, we all lose!
"Old School Hollywood Baseball" by System of a Down hits, as Ribz appears on the stage. He receives large boos, as he makes his way to the ring.
Vinegar: Well all the same, there is a show tonight and we're going to try and make it the best we possibly can!
Dennis: The following match is scheduled for one fall! From Houston, Texas, weighing in at 291 pounds... RIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBZZZ!!!!!!
Ribz rolls into the ring, as "Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio hits. Mike and Ashley emerge on the stage.
Dennis: And the opponent. Currently residing in a volcano, weighing 231 pounds... MIKE THE SPIIIIKKKKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!!
Mike makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring, as Ashley enters the ringside area. The bell rings and the match is underway.
Vinegar: Ribz instantly goes on the attack, but Mike side steps him. Mike bounces off the ropes but runs right into a Samoan drop! Mike hits the mat hard and rolls out of the ring!
Hanson: Ribz is one tough dude and I don't think Mike can match his speed or strength, here tonight.
Vinegar: I wouldn't count Mike out just yet! Ribz follows him to the outside. Ribz grabs Mike's head and smashes him face first into the safety barrier! He looks to smash his skull again! Mike gets his arms out and is able to stop the assault! He smashes Ribz with a well placed elbow to the jaw! Ribz stumbles back and whips Ribz into the barrier!
Hanson: Not likely! Ribz is one step ahead and reverses the whip!
Vinegar: Mike goes hurtling over the barrier and crashing into those front row fans!! And now Ribz is climbing onto the barrier! He's going to leap off that thing and crush Mike, along with all those fans!!!
Hanson: Oh no! Another lawsuit is the last thing we need!!
Vinegar: Mike smashes a fist into Ribz's leg and sends Ribz crashing GROIN FIRST onto the barrier!!! Bah gawd, the humanity!! And now Mike with a flying clothesline, sending both men toppling back into the ringside area!
Hanson: At least we can be thankful for small miracles...
Vinegar: Now both men climbing to their feet. Mike looks for a DDT! Ribz reversals and sends Mike CRASHING TO THE FLOOR ON HIS BACK!!!
Hanson: Jesus, that was insane! Ashley coming over to check on Mike! He looks hurt!
Vinegar: What!? Peterson signalling for the bell! The match is over!
Hanson: Double count out! Both men stayed outside the ring too long!!! It's a draw!
Vinegar: And Ribz is furious!! Look at him screaming abuse at Peterson! It's not his fault, dammit!
Hanson: What des this mean for the Global Title match?!
Vinegar: I don't know! But we have bigger concerns! Ribz is coming this way!
Hanson: Not cool!
Vinegar: He's grabbing the time keeper's chair! Bah gawd, what's he going to do with that?!
Hanson: I think it's pretty obvious what he's going to do!
Vinegar: Ribz raising that chair over his head! HE'S GOING TO CRUSH THE DEFENCELESS MIKE! NO! GARLAND OUT OF NOWHERE GRABS THE CHAIR FROM RIBZ! WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!
Hanson: He must have come through the crowd! Now he swings that chair AND LEVELS RIBZ WITH IT!!
Vinegar: PAYBACK IS A BITCH!!! AND GARLAND JUST PAID RIBZ BACK!!
Hanson: WHEN RIBZ COMES TO, HE'S GOING TO BE FURIOUS!!
Vinegar: And now, Garland is helping Mike up! The kid's alright, folks!
Hanson: And if those three want to stay okay, they best get out of there before Ribz recovers!
Vinegar: Well folks, I'm receiving word, we're now going to check on how Declan Prescott is doing in Connecticut!
Mike: 0
Ribz: 0.1
Samuels: Be seated.
