You can hear the chattering of a large crowd, but no visuals. As a cold, blue spotlight clicks on over a blocky “U”, the opening strains of “Red Cold River” by Breaking Benjamin slowly tease the opening. A slow, CO2 mist curls out from around the letters as the fans start to get excited. Spotlights continue to flick on over subsequent letters, “G,” “W,” “C,” and when Ben Burnley screams “RUN” to usher in the song proper, the stage lights up with six-foot blue flames and the word “Chill” is emblazoned in black across the company letters. The fans hit their feet as pyros fly, and we’re taken to ringside to join our broadcast team of Aaron Reese, "The Drunken Buzzsaw" Chaos and Daniel Hanson.
Reese: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the seventh episode of UGWC CHILL!! I’m your host Aaron Reese! To my left is the most colorful colorman in the business, UGWC legend and Hall of Fame member, “The Drunken Buzzsaw”, Chaos.
Chaos: Yo.
Reese: And from my right emanates the meandering ramblings of Daniel Hanson.
Hanson: We’re here at the Mohegan Sun Arena, here in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania!
Reese: Last week was Lord of Trios, but now it’s time for Chill! Let’s get the action underway!
Reese: We are ready to get the action underway, here on Chill!
Hanson: Good, we don’t get paid by the minute, let’s move this along.
Chaos: You shouldn’t get paid at all.
As the music hits and strobe lights flash freneticall, The Captain arrives on the stage wearing a pink vinyl jacket that has been airbrushed with “80” in periwinkle and bedazzled, tassels hanging from the entire length of his arms. The jacket has remarkable shoulder pads which are covered by purple epaulets, and giant gold buttons line the front though he wears it opened. His facepaint takes on the shape of a comically large, brightly colored eyepatch over his right eye. He wears a headband under his severely teased blond hair, featuring a blue anchor over a red rising sun. On his right hand is a disco-ball-esque glove. His Zubaz tear-away pants feature blue stripes before they disappear into his white, calf-high, heeled boots. Halfway down the ramp, he produces a ludicrously long, telescoping, brass spyglass, and looks over the crowd. He affects a surprised look, then points into the stands, and invites a “First Mate” down to help him remove his extra attire. The female fan helps him remove his jacket, headband, and pants to reveal his bright yellow trunks, yellow tassels around his biceps, and yellow wrist tape.
Thompson: The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first...the Keymaster of Gozer...CAPTAIN EIGHTIES!!!
Hanson: AHOY!
Thompson: And his opponent...from Gas, Kansan...weighing 16.5 stone...HOLDEN ORSON!!!!
Reese: Holden Orson was victorious in the main event of the first ever Chill event. He and his partners came up short in the finals of the Lord of Trios tournament last week, but he is back on Chill, we’ll see in a moment if that bodes well for him.
Hanson: We don’t talk about his performance at the second Chill event. That one didn’t happen.
DING DING!!
The Captain motions for Holden to wait, and he flexes and waves to the crowd, cupping his ears and encouraging the crowd to cheer louder. He turns his back to Holden entirely to repeat the routine with a different section of the crowd, and he has apparently had enough and knocks him down with a forearm to the back of the head.
Reese: Cheap attack there by Holden Orson, though you’d think the Captain would know better at this point.
Hanson: You can’t choose when to ride the Falcor, Aaron. The Falcor chooses you.
Chaos: That’s gotta be the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
Holden stomps away on the Captain, who looks horrified at what is happening, gasping and reaching out to the crowd in search of support. He rolls into the corner, and Orson charges in and delivers a knee to the face against the turnbuckle. The Captain crumples out of the corner, and Orson covers, only for the Captain to emphatically kick out at two. He sits up to his knees, and Orson slaps him in the face, but he just stares at him. Orson delivers a straight right hand, but the Captain shakes his head and begins shaking his arms. He shifts to one knee and starts to stand, but Orson takes him down into an armbar.
Reese: White!
Hanson: It’s like the Wafer Squeeze, but hipper.
Captain ‘80s cries out in pain, again looking around at the crowd for support, and he holds his head in agony with his free arm. He slaps the mat repeatedly, and the fans begin to clap along with him, the Captain now shaking his arms as Orson attempts to increase the pressure, he stretches and and reaches for the ropes, and he manages to grab hold of them! Holden Orson is forced to break the hold, he backs away for a moment as the Captain uses the ropes to pull himself up, he charges, but he backdrops her over the ropes to the outside! Captain ‘80s begin furiously shaking the ring ropes, and he begins to again play to the crowd, posing and encouraging cheers.
Reese: Captain ‘80s is feeding off the support of the fans!
Chaos: It’s utterly amazing how much the people love this fuckin’ guy, Aaron.
Orson slides back in, clubbing blow to the back of Captain ‘80s, but the Captain shrugs it off. Orson attempts The Façade, but the Captain elbows him away. He blocks a right hand and delivers one of his own, and now picks Holden up into an airplane spin.
Reese: You Spin Me Right Round!
Captain ‘80s adjusts his grip, and he plants Holden with a running powerslam. Captain ‘80s comes off the ropes, leaps into the air for a big leg drop.
Reese: And now the Captain’s Log!
Hanson: Holden rolls out of the way and to his feet!
Holden unleashes a flurry of Labokkatao close elbow strikes, leading up to a powerful uppercut.
Hanson: BLACK!
Chaos: And the hipster just knocked the ever-lovin’ shit out of The Captain!
Holden picks the Captain up off the mat and plants him again with the Jan Wnęk Driver. He covers and hooks the leg, and that gets the 1...2...3!
Thompson: Here is your winner, HOLDEN ORSON!!!
Reese: Holden Orson once again victorious on Chill, we’ll see if he can keep the momentum going when he competes in cooperative action next week on Synergy!
Chaos: Won’t be his first go-round in cooperative action. Assuming he keeps his head in it, he’ll be fine.
Hanson: But first we’re going to see a lot more action here on Chill! Don’t go anywhere!
