*the bell tolls once, twice, then a third time*

Earlier today:

[Tony Summit is backstage looking over some notes when the arena entrance door opens and in steps Mike Bell. This is the first time that anyone has seen Bell since the infamous Nightmare 50 beat down from Jason Jousma and Chris Fury.]

Summit: "Hey Mike..."

[No response.]

Summit: "Hey Mike, any comments on what happened at Nightmare 50?"

[Mike keeps walking. Which prompts Tony to ask the one question that he knows will elicit a response.]

Summit: "Mike, any comment on Sudden Impact's special tribute to you tonight?"

[As expected, Mike stops. Abruptly. He turns and faces Tony Summit with a very serious look on his face. He looks Tony up and down for a split second before facing the camera. He starts to say something but stops and faces Tony for a second time.]

Summit: "Any comments Mike?"

[The situation gets awkward as Bell simply stares at him. An uneasy feeling rushes over Tony as Bell inches forward, almost nose to nose. Getting the hint, Tony Summit lowers the mic and gives the kill signal for the camera man to take a break. With that Mike simply turns and walks away.]

Summit: "Wow. Someone is in a foul mood tonight."

[Show opens with a video package of clips from Nightmare, ending with the beat down on Mike Bell.  The package fades away and fades up on a sold-out Will Rogers Coliseum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  We head down to the announce area, where Marc Lowrance and Terry Michaels are waiting.]

Marc Lowrance:  Good evening, wrestling fans.  I’m Marc Lowrance and THIS IS NIGHTMARE!!! Ton of stuff happened since last Nightmare, right Terry?

Terry Michaels:  Got that right, Marc.  For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, Jason Jousma won the Lou Thesz Invitational Tournament for the second year in a row, making him the only man to have done so.  Also, Chris Fury is the new NWA World TV Champion!  And already people are lining up to take their shot at him.  Not to be outdone, Aaron Shepherd and Zak Phenom, the Absolved, made history, and are the new NWA World Tag Team Champions!  I’ve already heard rumors of the teams lining up to try and take them down.  Get used to it, boys!  WCCW has the gold, and we’ll soon have the World Heavyweight Title in our hands too.  Deal with it!

Marc Lowrance:  But first-

[We cut to a close up shot of the ring, inside the sold out arena. The camera is zoomed in on the center of it where the NWA Lou Thesz Memorial Tournament trophy sits, with the NWA World Television Title belt draped over it. Standing beside it is WCCW Ring Announcer Jeremy Harding, with microphone in hand. In one corner of the ring sits a dry bar, with different bottles of top shelf liquor and a few bottles of champagne. In another corner of the ring is a strange looking cast-iron cauldron with an iron rod hanging out of it. There are streamers and party favors strewn about the other two corners.]

Jeremy Harding: Ladies and Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you the 2011 NWA Lou Thesz Memorial Tournament Winner, Jason Jousma, and the new NWA World Television Champion, Chris Fury! Together they are known as Sudden Impact!!!

[The beginning of “Serpent Boy” by (hed) P.E. begins to play as the arena fills with boos louder than ever for the team who has gone from loveable rebels to treacherous scoundrels.]

Lowrance: Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of WCCW Nightmare, from the sold out Will Rogers Coliseum in Oklahoma City! And in case you've been living under a rock, as you just heard Lou Thesz 2011 was a huge night for Sudden Impact, and all of WCCW for that matter.

Michaels: You ain't kiddin’ partner. Sudden Impact promised us they would have a public celebration of their accomplishments here tonight, and it doesn't look like they're wasting any time in doing that, much to the chagrin of these fans.

[As the Sudden Impact theme continues to play, Jay Jousma and Chris Fury step through the curtain into the arena. Fury is wearing a black button up shirt with a white tie and black jeans, and a pair of aviator sunglasses, Jousma is clad in a red Sudden Impact basketball jersey, a pair of blue jeans, and white sneakers, also with a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses on. The two men slowly walk down the aisle with a cocky strut, seemingly ignoring the booing fans that surround them. Fury notices one fan seated along the aisle holding a sign that catches his eye and he takes the sign and holds it up for the camera to see. It reads “BATEE FEARS FURY”. Chris smiles and nods as he points at it, and then tosses it away. Both men enter the ring and each one hops up on top the second rope in opposite corners, moving around the items laid out in the ring, as pyro goes off from the lighting rig above the ring and silver and gold confetti and balloons begin to fall down upon the ring and fans seated at ringside.]

Michaels: Wow, these guys went all out tonight! I kinda like it!

Lowrance: Yeah, nothing like throwing yourself a party...

[With their music still playing, and various party favors still trickling down from the rafters, Jousma and Fury hop off the ropes and high five each other, then approach Jeremy Harding, who is still standing in the ring, and each shake his hand. Harding goes to leave but Fury grabs him and instructs something to him that we can't hear. Jeremy hesitantly grabs the NWA TV Title off from the trophy and reluctantly straps it around a smiling Chris Fury's waist. Fury looks down at his new title in approval, and then shoves Harding away. Jousma grabs the Lou Thesz trophy and hoists it above his head like the Stanley Cup, and kisses it several times. He sets the trophy down and then looks at himself in its reflection, adjusting his hair, as Fury grabs two mics and hands one to Jousma. Their theme music fades out, but the booing from the fans continues.]

Fury: Thank you! Thank you everyone! You're too kind! It's nice to see all our hard work being appreciated!

[The crowd boo's even louder, as Jousma starts to become visibly agitated.]

Jousma: I love you too Oklahoma City. With the half-a-set of teeth we have amongst the audience here tonight, you might be able to chew some of your pride before you swallow it, and accept the fact that last week up North in Detroit we did something that none of you said we would be able to do.

Fury: For those of you too cheap to order this year's Lou Thesz Tournament pay per view, or too stupid to go check the results on the internet.... which seeing as we're in Oklahoma and I don’t think there’s anyone in this audience who knows how to read…

[The crowd once again turns their jeers up a notch.]

Fury: ...history was in fact made in Michigan, as I capture my second NWA Championship Title of 2011, and “The Rising Star” here won the Lou Thesz Tournament... for the second year in a row!!!

Jousma: Yeah, the first and only competitor to ever win it twice AND I did it in back to back years.

Fury: That's pretty god damn impressive dude. I don't think that record is ever getting broken.... especially with the revolving door of both talent and promotions in the NWA lately!

Lowrance: That's uncalled for!

Jousma: So tonight, is dedicated solely to Chris, and myself. To celebrate our amazing achievements, and the proverbial vice grip we now have on the entire National Wrestling Alliance!

Fury: That's right. Everyone here knows we've had the WCCW by its balls for months now, but with me holding this beautiful NWA TV Title and Jousma as the number one contender to the NWA World Title... well; let's just say the whole NWA is at our mercy. Sudden Impact holds all the cards in the alliance now, and it's about damn time!

Jousma: For almost thirteen years, the National Wrestling Alliance has wanted us to fail! They wanted to keep us at the bottom of the food chain, floating around in mid-card purgatory for as long as we stuck around, with the Dan Bensons, and the Travis Zahns, and the Lake Storms out there... But despite all they've tried to do to us over the years, we always overcame what was stacked against us, and we always continue to come out on top. Each of us has been to the top of the mountain around these parts. We've each managed to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion... but the powers that be threw everything, and I mean everything they had in their power at us to take the title off of us quickly as quickly as they possibly could. They tried to bury us; they’ve screwed us out of our rematches. But now, guess what? Guess who the new number one contender is? Furthermore, guess who doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of beating me once that bell rings and that title is on the line... That’s right; I’m talking about that phony piece of unoriginal garbage Magnum Randell, and if you’re watching this Magnum… first of all… get your hand out of your pants. Second of all, take a look at that title that you probably have next to you, on your couch or wherever you’re watching this. Lay your eyes upon it, and enjoy the time you’re spending with it, because soon Randell, you won’t be in possession of that anymore. I will have back in my possession what is rightfully mine, the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship!

Fury: Now, as great a night as Thesz was for us, Sudden Impact has yet another reason to celebrate tonight, and it goes back to before Thesz, at the last edition of Nightmare. We did something that a lot of people have tried to do, and just about everyone on earth was hoping to see, and that was putting the legendary Mike Bell out of this business permanently, when we gave him one last ass kicking to help him remember why he just can't cut it in this in our ring anymore.

Jousma: That's right! Bell, I just want to personally let you know that what we did to you last week felt great! It just felt.... right. Like it was something that just needed to be done, and finally was, once and for all. I mean this time, no lapsing into a coma or anything ridiculous like that. This time you just had your will broken, shattered in front of the fans who once adored you. Hell, the last time we saw you here in WCCW you were getting retired by Sean Jackson... and ya know when the last time we saw him was? When I was shattering his leg beyond repair and ending HIS career! If I can do that to the guy that last took you out, do you really think you should be poking me AND Fury with a stick?

Fury: It’s okay Jay, I think we finally delivered the message to the ol' Natural once and for all that he's not fit to be in this ring anymore... especially not with two superstars the likes of Sudden Impact. Here's some advice to you if you're listening Bell. Next time you're sitting around your house watching Nightmare with your gut hanging out, and you don't like or agree with what Jousma and myself are dong... don't try to be a hero and come here to tell us what you think we should be doing. Stay home, tell your wife or your kids that we're upsetting you, and stay the hell away from OUR company. Trust me, nobody will think any less of you, and you can spare yourself the embarrassment of another ass kicking.

Jousma: Hey, Chris… Don't we have a tribute to play in honor of Mike's career? As much of an ego-maniac this guy is, he did have a pretty decent career that we just finished off.

Fury: Oh yeah, you’re right Jay. Mike... this one's for you bud! Thanks for the memories brother! Roll the video…

[We cut to the video package as 'My Hero' by Foo Fighters plays to kick it off. As the intro to the song plays we see various shots of Mike Bell walking down aisles to the ring all over the world, throughout different stages of his illustrious career. As the song kicks in and the first verse starts, the video cuts to the footage from last Nightmare, of Bell getting attacked and spray painted by Sudden Impact.]

Lowrance: Oh come on! What a slap in the face this is, to quite possibly the greatest of all time!

Michaels: This is pretty low, even I have to admit.

[The video continues to play as we see a shot of Fury and Jousma standing in the ring watching it with big smiles on their faces. As the song reaches the end of the first chorus however the song and video are both cut off...]

[The sound of clapping against a mic can now be heard. The sound very faint at first, grows in tempo and in sound as stepping through the entrance, and much to the surprise of Sudden Impact and the sold out crowd in the arena, is Mike Bell.]

Lowrance: "Whoa, Mike Bell is here!!!"

Michaels: "Uh oh, I see a major buzz kill coming."

[Mike Bell, the victim of SI's latest beat down at Nightmare 50 steps out in blue jeans, boots, and sporting a white shirt with two skull faces on it. The whole arena erupts into cheers as they are relieved that despite SI's best effort, Mike Bell is still able to make it to Nightmare 51.]

Bell: "Well, well, well. I guess congrats are in order. I mean, standing in the ring is the current NWA Television champ, a former NWA World Champ, and a two time Thesz winner."

[As Fury and Jousma smile at one another's accomplishments, Bell drops the bomb.]

Bell: "And yet, here I am. So yes, I would venture to say that I can congratulate myself."

[The smiles disappear from the faces of Fury and Jousma, replaced with confused looks. Maybe they're beginning to think that they beat him a little too much.]

Bell: "But that means the NWA is in a sad state of affairs because believe it or not, you two don't deserve to be the top guys of the NWA because frankly..."

[Mike points at the two of them]

Bell: "You both hit like a couple of BITCHES!!!"

Michaels: "Oh my, I see this is going to get personal."

Lowrance: "Going to get personal? This got personal at Nightmare 50."

[You can tell that Bell's last comment struck a nerve with Sudden Impact. But too bad, because Mike is far from finished.]

Bell: "If I had to rank the slap fest from Nightmare 50, I would rank it dead last. I would rank it below the tickle fests that take place in the linen closets back stage. I mean, was THAT the best you two could deliver? Hell, I've been out of the game for so long that what happened at Nightmare 50 constitutes a BEATDOWN? I mean, THAT is what you guys call a beat down now?"

[He points behind himself during the linen closet comment.]

Bell: "I mean, if you two idiots call what happened at Nightmare 50 a beat down. Then I know a bunch of guys who should be insulted because when it came to delivering beat downs, they knew how to deliver them. I'm talking about the Eric Dane's, the Byron Tanis's, the Misfits, the TTO, etc. etc."

[Pause]

Bell: "What you two did was nothing more than a scripted pillow fight in Connecticut, and some juvenile paint tagging that I would expect to be scripted in Atlanta, Georgia. But a beat down? …Not hardly.

[He slowly begins to make his way towards the ring.]

Bell: "But I tell you what. You two son of a bitches, got the drop on me the last time. It took a cheap shot by Fury to get your little slap fest started, but I doubt very seriously that you'll get the drop on me again. So I tell you what I'm going to do. Since I'm not even on the roster here in WCCW, I'm simply going to step into that ring and I'm going to ram that video AND this little celebration party right down your throats."

[Bell approaches the ring side area]

Bell: "But first, I'm going to even the odds just a tad. You see, I might be a little crazy right now because of the amount of hatred that I have for you two, but I'm not stupid. Yes, it would be easy to run into that ring and jump on the both of you, but the odds are against me."

[At least he's thinking.]

Bell: "Yes, I'd probably get the early jump on you both and yes, I'd probably fair well for the first few moments. But I haven't wrestled since 2005 and you two ARE at the top of your games. I know that I'm not the same guy that I used to be..."

[Pause]

Bell: "But as I stated before, I'm not on the roster and if I want to pick up this chair..."

[Bell goes to pick up the chair when he is interrupted.]

Lowrance: It looks like the Boss-man’s here!

Michaels: Now this will really get interesting.

[Tom Gorgas begins walking up the ramp towards the ring with mic in hand. He begins to speak as he makes his way into the ring. Bell follows not too far behind, still with steel chair in hand.]

Gorgas: Ok, sitting back there I’ve had enough of this. The three of you need to stop t his right now!

[Gorgas and Bell enter the ring, Gorgas walks up to Jousma and Fury, while extending a hand at Bell to attempt to keep the two opposing forces separated.]

Gorgas: Fury, Jousma… I had Terence Harris and Jon Darkstar banned from being in the building tonight during your victory celebration. I did it for the two of you, because I felt you deserved it. You both represented the WCCW at Lou Thesz, and did an excellent job of it, so I wanted you both to have this night here. But I’ll have you know this isn’t going to happen, not again, and not on my watch. Mike, you’ve got an issue with Sudden Impact?

[Mike Bell nods his head ‘yes’.]

Gorgas: Sudden Impact, you have an issue with Mike Bell?

[The duo shake their heads ‘yes’.]

Gorgas: So it is to be settled then. Bell, you want to keep coming back to Nightmare here than that’s fine, but at Black Death, this right here all comes to an end.

Lowrance: What’s he talking about.

Gorgas: See, at Black Death, we got us a little 6-man tag team match, only this one is for All...The....Marbles!  That's right, the Board of Directors has forced my hand, and therefore we have to settle this whole situation this way.  Team One, representing the Texas Wrestling League, will be Sudden Impact and RJ Harris!  [Thunderous boos from the crowd]  Team Two, representing World Class Championship Wrestling, will be Terence Harris, the WCCW Heavyweight Champion Jonathan Darkstar, and "The Natural" Mike Bell! [Thunderous standing ovation from the crowd]  Now, here's where it gets interesting, folks.  If Team One wins, WCCW is no more, by order of the Board of Governors!  The Texas Wrestling League will take its place.  The TWL is a fresh new approach to good old-fashioned Texas wrestling.  If Team Two wins, WCCW will continue, with the following changes:  Jonathan Darkstar WILL retire and become the new Commissioner of WCCW, subject to oversight by myself and the Board.  Not my idea, but that's the way they want it.

[The fans in the arena are going absolutely crazy at the mention of their hero returning to the ring. Bell can be seen nodding in approval.]

Michaels: Did I just hear that properly?

Lowrance: I believe so, it looks as if for the first time in nearly six years, “The Natural” Mike Bell returns to the ring, and it’s going to be here in WCCW!

[Jousma smirks a little, and begins to laugh, while he puts the mic up to speak to Gorgas.]

Jousma: Tom, listen man. I mean, it’s great and all that you want to get this fossil over here back in the ring, but I mean… you know I’ve got a match coming up in BACW for the NWA title. While Magnum isn’t all that good, I still want to be well rested, and prepared. I, I’m not going to do this at Black Death. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to take the night off…

[A chorus of boos surround the arena once again, and an infuriated Gorgas speaks up.]

Gorgas: I don’t know what you think this is Jousma. To be frank, I don’t know if you realize it or not, but for somebody who’s so damn concerned with money all the time, you’re little decision to have your match in BACW is affecting MY bottom line. Whether or not you realize it, Magnum Randell vs. Jay Jousma was supposed to main event Black Death, but you ruined that for me, didn’t you? We here in WCCW still have to be successful, and that means, YOU’RE doing the match, whether or not you like it. And if you don’t? Frankly I’m tired of your threats and you pulling your weight around here like you’re god’s gift to professional wrestling. I will terminate you immediately upon your refusal, regardless of what those repercussions may be.

[The fans clamor in excitement, as a look of surprise comes across Jousma’s face. Gorgas leaves the ring, leaving the three to stand there. Bell raises the chair up.]

Lowrance: It looks like we may see this thing go down early here…

[With that, Jousma kicks Bell square in the groin, and he drops down to the canvas in pain. Sudden Impact is once again showered in boos. Fury begins stomping on Bell once he is on the canvas. Jousma, still with mic in hand, begins to speak once more.]

Jousma: Well if Bell can’t make it to the match, then I guess it can’t happen.

[With that, Jousma drops the mic and boots Bell in the head. Fury then picks up the chair that was brought into the ring by Bell, and blasts him in the head with it. Jay nods in approval as Fury lays out another shot to the body of Bell with the chair.]

Lowrance: This is a little bit too much, yet again. Don’t you think?

[Jousma stands over Bell, and begins slapping the dazed legend in the face, front hand and back hand, in an embarrassingly repetitive and mocking fashion. We can hear him screaming at “The Natural” as he does this.]

Jousma: HOW’S THIS FOR A SLAPFEST BELL? BETTER THAN LAST TIME? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!?! HUH?!?!

[With that, Fury walks over to the iron cauldron and pulls out the stick that was hanging out of it. The item appears to be a branding iron, with the letters SI at the end of it, which are colored bright orange due to the heat. Jousma steps off of Bell, and a smile appears on his face.]

Jousma: Dude, really?

[Fury walks over as Jousma once again rips Bell’s shirt off. Fury stands there with the iron, smiling horrifically.]

Fury: So you don’t like being tagged, do you Bell? Well how’s about this?

[The sound and smell of searing flesh fill the air as Fury brings down the iron and marks the lower midsection of Bell’s right side. Immediately Bell wakes up and screams in pain, flailing around on the canvas as Sudden Impact laughs at him. Jousma runs over and boots him in the head once again, so as to calm him down. The fans at this point have gone completely silent. Fury puts the iron back in the cauldron.]

Michaels: I’ve gotta say, this is a bit too much for my eyes, and I’ve seen a lot of bad things in my day.

[Jousma gets in the center focus of a camera, and directs them towards the branding mark on Bell’s midsection.]

Jousma: Go on, get that in the shot, look at that. Nice job Chris!

[With that, Jousma makes his way over to where the bottles of champagne and spirits are in one corner of the ring. He pops open the bottle of champagne, and him and Chris high-five. After each swigging a bit from the bottle, they see a bottle of rum with the numbers 151 on it, of which we cannot make mention by name for various copyrighting reasons. After popping it open, Jousma takes a swig, and walks over to the freshly branded bell, dumping some of the poison in the newly burned wound. Again Bell seemingly comes to life, wincing and screaming brutally in pain. He attempts to get up and *SMACK* Fury delivers another viscous chair shot to Bell, busting him open, as he slumps to the canvas. Not a soul in the arena is making a noise, and we can even see some children in the audience crying, while being consoled by their parents and guided away from the goings-on in front of them.]

Lowrance: Somebody do something out here!

[An enraged Jousma stands over Bell, and begins hammering him with rights, busting further open the wound on his forehead, as Fury gets in Bells face and continues to scream at the downed legend.]

Fury: DOES HE STILL HIT LIKE A BITCH, BELL? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?!?!?!

[Jousma’s friend Tony Summit enters the ring, and attempts to pull Jousma off of Bell, who is now covered in almost as much of “The Natural’s” blood as Bell is himself. Through Summit’s efforts, a look of pure rage envelops Jousma, as he turns around and decks Summit with a bloody right hand!]

Lowrance: And Summit comes out here, perhaps trying to talk some sense into his client, only to be taken out of the equation promptly.

[Jousma realizes what he’s done, perhaps, and rises to his feet. He then looks at the bottle of 151 proof booze that he briefly used on Bell, and stares back down at the bloodied, barley stirring man once known as “The Natural”. He looks at Fury and mouths something to him that we can’t exactly hear. Fury nods his head, and reaches in his pocket, pulling out a book of matches.]

Lowrance: I don’t like where this is going…

Michaels: Come on, enough is enough already.

[Jousma dons a sick smile, and grabs the bottle, pouring it out on the midsection of the semi-conscious Bell once again, who flops around on the canvas as it seeps into his burn wound. Jousma nods at Fury, who lights a match, and drops it on Bell…]

Lowrance: COME ON SOMEBODY GET SOME HELP OUT HERE!!! THESE TWO HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOST IT!!!

Michaels: THESE TWO HAVE GONE TOO FAR! SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!

[The eerie silence of the crowd is reflected by the presence of flames in the ring, as a man struggles to roll around in an attempt to fan them, in what is undoubtedly immense pain. As the Bell rolls around the canvas back and forth, humiliated and beaten, A few people run out from backstage with fire extinguishers to the ring, eventually calming the damage done, as Sudden Impact slowly walk up the ramp backwards, observing the carnage, looking on in approval and laughing. We cut back to the ring, and it appears as if EMTs are tending to the fallen hero, unsure of his condition.]

[The lights go out and a pulsating red heart appears on the Jumbotron. The crowd grows restless as moments pass and only the beating of the heart can be heard throbbing throughout the arena.

Magnum Randell, who is still a little beaten up from his match with Jack Kraven at Thesz steps out behind the curtain.

He quiets the crowd down a little bit as he makes his way down to the ring.]

Magnum: Ladies and Gentlemen, more importantly ladies… I am here before you as the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Champion. After being dogged by the media, fans, and my bosses and peers about how undeserving I am of this here title, I went out and defended it against one of the best in the business. Not only that, but I TOOK this title from probably THE best in the business. So I think it’s about time I get a little bit of respect around here.

[The crowd uncharacteristically boos the champion.]

Magnum: No no, I’m not out here to whine. After all, Jack and I gave the fans of Auburn Hills a hell’uva match. I’d say it was one of the best of my career. Now I know I’m on foreign turf because this isn’t BACW.

[The crowd boos again.]

Magnum: Yeah..yeah.. But I came out here to congratulate Jay Jousma and Chris Fury.

[The crowd erupts.]

Magnum: Fury overachieved and won the TV Title and Jousma can finally stop bitching that he’s being overlooked and deserves another chance at the NWA strap.

[BOOOOOOOO!]

Magnum: Look, I’m not in BACW. I don’t have to play nice. The fans in BACW have all their teeth, they can count to ten, and they don’t ride lawnmowers to work. You guys seem to like Jousma, and quite frankly, I don’t. He walked out of Thesz with a pretty little trophy and a shot at me, not Jack Kraven… me. Great. I’m ready to roll…

[The crowd cheers at the thought of Jay and Magnum wrestling tonight on Nightmare.]

Magnum: BUUUUUT…I didn’t bring my ring gear. So it’s going to have to wait. I just thought I’d come out here and let you all know that I’m still breathing after Thesz. Also to offer my condolences to Jay Jousma because well he’s got about as good of chance of beating me as Kraven did. None.

[Magnum drops the microphone and leaves the ring through the crowd to no music.]

POST-SHOW:

[scene opens in Gorgas’ office.  Tom is sitting at his desk, pouring himself a very stiff drink.  Jason Jousma and Chris Fury, both bearing the effects of their match with Darkstar and Harris, are sitting across from him.  Gorgas looks up, not too happy.]

Tom Gorgas:  Great match, you two.  But, I think you went WAAAAY too overboard on the beatdown on Mike Bell.  If he’s not available for the main event of Black Death, there WILL be hell to pay.  Way too much is at stake now, lay off the beatings.  [Jousma and Fury nod their heads]

Chris Fury:  What about the NWA wanting me to defend the World TV Title at Black Death? 

Tom Gorgas:  Working on that.  Already sent word to the NWA that it wasn’t happening, and offered them an alternative.  If they take it, you’ll be defending against LaValle at Nightmare 52.  Yeah, I kinda figured that he would be invoking his rematch clause.  Speaking of rematches, if and when you lose the World TV Title, you get your rematch against Darkstar for the WCCW Heavyweight Title.  Hell, if things go the way I think they may, it will probably be for the TWL Heavyweight Title.  But, difficult to see is the future.  Now, scram!  You need to go recuperate and get ready for Black Death.
