[Ultimatejobber]

Lights up on an empty, unnamed arena. A ring waits in the center of the arena. Four aisles extend from each corner of the ring to the backstage area. Daniel Bryan, Ricky Steamboat, Jushin Liger, and Ultimo Dragon enter from four each of the different corners of the arena and enter the ring and stand in a corner.

DB: Uh...hey fellas? Anyone know what's going on here?
RS: No idea Daniel. I got this invitation in the mail. It said to be here on May 5th at 11:00 pm. It said I wouldn't regret it. I didn't have plans, so here I am. What about you?
DB: Yeah I got an invite too. Since my injuries have all magically healed up overnight, I thought I would check it out. What about you two? (points to Liger and Dragon)

Dragon and Liger hold up envelopes and nod. Suddenly, a voice interrupts the brief silence.

Man's Voice: Excellent. you all came.

The voice is coming from the first row seats of the arena. The figure is hidden in a shadow with his back to the camera. The man stands and walks into the ring and into the light.



AA: Bryan, oops! I mean, Daniel. Long time no see. Dragon, Dragon, Mr. Liger. It's an honor. Truly.
DB: What's this all about, Aries? And why do I feel like I've never been injured before?
AA: It's been eight years. You don't know this by now? It's the Pun's House draft, man. A reality all its own. No injuries in this world. But enough about that. You asked what this is all about. I'll tell you.

Gentlemen, I'm tired. I'm tired of the lie that is professional wrestling today. I'm tired of climbing for X's dangling over rings. I'm tired of dumb stipulations and cage matches that don't matter. I'm tired of briefcases. I'm tired of watching neanderthals with no concept of the art of true professional wrestling being regarded as something that resembles talent. I AM TIRED! Tired of having to kiss the ass of lesser men in the ring, just so I can get a chance at the top. I loathe what I've become. Giving Hulk Hogan the potential of an Option C turned my stomach, but I took that nauseating experience and turned it to gold. I shouldn't have had to invent options to have a shot when I can wrestle circles around those jokers in TNA.

That's when I looked at the calendar and saw that it was April. That's when I saw my shot. An opportunity for a true Option C. So I looked for someone who would share my vision. Someone who could represent this Option C Wrestling and draft talent. True talent. Ring Generals. Talent who will show the world the ART that is wrestling. Well, I found that man in Ultimatejobber. He liked my vision and said he would find someone to buy a stake in the project so that we can make this year's fed go. He even told me to give him four names with which to build this company. I submitted your names. I'm happy he came through.

This is our chance to build something beautiful. No more having to make fat, clumsy goofs look good. Just men in the squared circle tearing down the house. I just have one question for each of you. Are you with me?

DB: Easy answer for me YES.
RS: No way I can pass this up. I'm in
UD: Hai. sukidesu
JL: Hai. sukidesu

AA: Well, Gentlemen, Welcome to Option C Wrestling.

The five men meet in the middle of the ring and shake hands. From the balcony, another figure watches the proceedings from the shadows.



Man's Voice: Almost too easy.

[Chris Eco]

I was curious to see which fed was going full IWC workrate-bias (in the best way possible). Your roster makes a great case, and I can't wait for Bad Influence/The Addiction.

[Ultimatejobber]

Lights up on the Option C Arena. Austin Aries stands in the ring. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian enter the arena and make their way to the ring.



AA: Well, well, lookie here! Can't say I didn't expect this. Jobber always did have a soft spot for you, Daniels. Guess he thought OCW needed an Addiction. Aries turns to the camera and winks.

Kazarian enters the ring first and takes Aries' mic

FK: First of all, we aren't AN addiction. We are THE ADDICTION. You should show a little respect to your betters-

CD: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Frankie Frankie wait. Wait! Go easy on 'ol Aries over there. It's been too long and he's forgotten what greatness looks like. Just step back for a minute, Austin, and take it all in. Option C Wrestling just drafted itself the single greatest tag team in the history of everything.
You see, we've heard about your "vision". We caught wind of your pleas for bringing the art back into professional wrestling. Well, you've got yourself a pair of bona fide ring generals in this company now.

FK: I mean, really. There is nowhere to go in your tag ranks but down. No one can match the talent of The Addiction. No one can match the CHARISMA of The Addiction. It doesn't matter who gets thrown in front of us. There is NOBODY better.

Voice: That is some serious bull being thrown around in that ring right now! Nobody better? I can think of three men who'll slap the taste clean out of your mouth before you can blink.

Sweet Stan! Beautiful Bobby! Loverboy Dennis! The Midnight Express!



All three men emerge from one of the four corner tunnels followed by Jim Cornette

JC: We couldn't help but overhear your little jaws flapping. These three men were dominating territories while your momma's were still wiping your asses! The Midnight Express beat everybody, everywhere, every time! You think there's nobody better than? We got something to say about that! In fact we'll say it first, next, and last! No one can handle the Midnight Express. No one. And since I've got my team. My WHOLE team here for the first time ever, we are more than happy to remind you that without The Midnight Express, there would be no Addiction.

CD: Heh! Look at that! Three washed up old timers who think they can go toe to toe with us. Fellas, if you want a piece of The Addiction, we'll happily knock out your dentures for you. Only one problem there's three of you and only two of us. We're gonna call it right now, if you want the Addiction, we get to pick the two geezers to send back to the nursing home. Deal?

JC: Deal! It doesn't matter who you pick! It's long walk of a short pier for you two!

Daniels and Kaz huddle up. Daniels reaches into his pocket and pulls out a quarter. He flips the coin once. Hands it to Kazarian. Kazarian flips it. They nod and turn back to the Midnights.

FK: Well, the coin doesn't lie. We choose Stan and Bobby!

JC: You got it! OCW's first match will be The Addiction vs The Midnight Express





The two teams stare each other down as the lights fade.

From the balcony the figure in shadow watches



Voice: Soon.

[Ultimatejobber]

Lights up in MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. The Option C Ring is now constructed in its rightful place. Austin Aries again stands in the middle of the ring. He is joined by Daniel Bryan (Holding his recently won Super P Cup), Ricky Steamboat, Jushin Liger, and Ultimo Dragon.



AA:Gentlemen! It's already been a pretty great week. Daniel, well done on the Super P Cup victory. But Steamboat, what happened to you man? I turned your name in to the Pun's House people. I was sure it would come down to you and D-Bry.

RS:I'm not sure. When I showed up to register, I was turned away. Dashbee said Bryan was on the list but I wasn't. I tried to find out who was registered instead but Dashbee wouldn't tell me. Said he agreed not to reveal the second wrestler or who entered the name, something about it being #Gregsfault and obscene amounts of money...it really didn't make any sense.



AA:Weird. Well, in other news, I heard from the Ultimate Jobber and we now know who is gonna carry OCW's booking responsibilities. You all know this man. And if you don't know him, you know someone trained by him. He was also the mind who built some of the greatest stars of the 70's and 80's names like Hogan and Flair. Fellas, please welcome, Mr. Verne Gagne.



Verne Gagne walks up the aisle flanked by Nick Bockwinkel. Gagne shakes hands with the men in the ring

VG: Fellas it's a pleasure. A true pleasure to see such talent in one place. I hope no one minds that I convinced UJ to draft his all time favorite wrestler. (gestures to Bockwinkel who nods toward them and gives a small salute) Now, let me join Mr. Aries in congratulating you on winning the Super P Cup, Daniel. But you won't be holding that cup for long. My first decision tonight will be to declare the holder of the Super P Cup the #1 contender for The Option C Wrestling Grand Championship. But, we have a problem. Right now there is no OCW Grand Champion. To rectify the problem I have decided that Daniel Bryan will compete in the inaugural Grand Championship match against the second man picked in the draft Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. And since it has been made clear to me that OCW is about the art of wrestling, all Grand Championship matches will be, at minimum, two out of three falls. But because this is such a special occasion. Our first Grand Champion will be determined in a 60 minute Iron man match. Truly this will be the pinnacle of Professional Wrestling artistry.

As for the Super P Cup, I still see three men in this ring with nothing to do yet. I think the three of you should fight it out for the right to face our newly crowned Grand Champion at our second show...

Voice: Hold up, Hold up, Hold up! Ain't nothing gonna be settled like that!



MVP: Why hello there, Austin. Remember me? You remember me! I'm the man who singlehandedly took control of that joke of a promotion known as TNA. When I heard the boys in the back were turning tail and running to other promotions in this draft, I knew I had to find the best opportunity for me. The best opportunity to take some power. So I start lookin around. But I didn't have to go far. You see, my phone started ringing before I could even leave my crib. And of all the calls, one stood out. One man promised me the opportunity to take what is mine.

AA: Wait a second, what are you even talking about? Nobody drafted you, Montel! I didn't, I'm pretty sure Verne didn't, and I KNOW Jobber didn't.

MVP: Jobber didn't have a choice. See, you're forgetting something, Austin. Jobber TOLD you he was getting another investor to put up the money to get OCW off the ground. Well, that money came with some privileges and one of those was the right to draft some wrestlers. And that, my friend, is why you get to deal with me and maybe some of my friends. A clan even. Maybe even an all new BEAT DOWN CLAN. Oh, it MIGHT also have something to do with me being in the Super P Cup Battle Royal instead of little Ricky over there. But you don't need to worry about that now. It doesn't matter anyway. You all don't think I can hang with the likes of you? Hell I can not only keep up with you three, I'll look pretty doin' it! In fact why don't I prove it? Gagne, why don't you let me in that little triple threat match you were about to set up and make this a four way dance!

VG: Well, it doesn't look like I can do anything about you being here, MVP. And you say you have something to prove with these men. So yes, I'll let you in the match for the Super P Cup. It'll be Austin Aries vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. MVP vs. Ultimo Dragon. But it won't be a one fall match. Oh no. This will be a flour man elimination match. Gentlemen, good luck.

From the upper deck, the mysterious man in shadow still sits watching. He is flanked by three men, all of their faces hidden from sight



Voice: One down, Three more to come...

[Ultimatejobber]

Lights up in Madison Square Garden. Austin Aries stands in the ring with Daniel Bryan, Roderick Strong, and James Gibson. The man in shadow sits in the upper deck flanked by his three unidentified associates. As the conversation below starts, the man tilts his head back and two of the associates leave.



AA: Now, this is what I'm talking about! Look at the talent we have in this company now. Roddy, Jamie, welcome to Option C wrestling.





JG: Great to be here Aries, but now that I'm out of the WWE, call me James Gibson. That's my name, here.

AA: Fair enough, Gibson. Now, welcome to back to wrestling freedom. Looking at the four of us, I gotta say I never dreamed we would share a ring again. James,no longer will you have to play the stooge. No longer will you be a punch line for The Big Show or Kane. Once again the world will see the talent of the man who took the ROH world championship from one CM Punk. And, Roddy, well Roddy, I really cant speak to the injustices the business has shown you. Because you have been living in wrestling freedom for years. We left, and you showed us there could be another way. I am looking forward to tearing it up with you in the tag ranks just like the old days.

RS: Sounds great, Austin, but what am I doing first? You've already got a match lined up. What? Am I going up against Gibson here?

AA: Now Roddy, I don't know. I just wanted a little ROH reunion before the real action starts. We need to find Verne if we're gonna -

Voice: If you goin to what??!?! Leave me hanging' again? Don' know who you dealin' wit boy!!!

From the entrance a lone figure emerges with a microphone. It's the notorious 187 Homicide!!!!



H: Aries, look at you! You wanna have a ROH reunion without me? Without Homicide? Glad my boy MVP got my back and his boy drafted me! 'Cuz I am lookin forward to ending you boy!!

AA: Whoa! Whoa! Someone's a little angry! You know what Homicide, you're right. I should have talked to Verne or Jobber about drafting you. Looks like you went with whoever the other guy is. That's okay! Hey, I'll tell you what. I'll let you choose between Roddy or James. Choose. And I will tell Verne to make the match.

H: Aw nah! I do you one better. I'll take them both! I got me a partner and we'll show you how much our new boss likes your Option C.

Strong and Gibson look at each other and nod. Gibson grabs the mic and with Strong they exit the ring and head down the aisle toward Homicide.

JG: Yer on, Homicide!!!! Where's yer partner? Let's get it on!!!

H: Ha ha, oooooh no! You know when I say you know. But my new boss did leave you a present!



With all four men facing Homicide none of them see a huge figure enter the ring from the opposite side. With a "huss!" Bruiser Brody double clotheslines Ares and Daniel Bryan from behind! He starts laying the boots to both men who are prone in the middle of the ring!

H: chou know what boys? I think you should meet my partner now!



From behind Homicide another imposing figure emerges. It's Big Ryck! They slowly back Strong and Gibson back to the ring. Brody grabs two fistfuls of hair and begins to pull both Gibson and Strong into the ring! Homicide and Ryck sprint into the ring, and all three men lay waste to Aries, Strong, Gibson, and Bryan. Eventually MVP enter the ring as well. The four men stand tall in the ring. Verne Gagne walks out, flanked by Nick Bockwinkel.

VG: Enough!!! You know, when you showed up, MVP, I figured it would be a matter of time before this mysterious investor played some more cards. I took out some insurance in the draft just to be on the safe side. Homicide, you and Big Ryck want to face Roderick Strong and James Gibson? That's fine you can have them in a Texas Tornado tag match. As for you, Brody. You're a tough bastard, no doubt about it. The only way to manage someone like you is to find someone just as tough. With that in mind, I found someone not afraid to get just as crazy as you. I give you your opponent in a no disqualification, first blood match: Masato Tanaka!



Tanaka enters the arena and proceeds to stare only at Brody. Brody smiles and waves Tanaka to come forward. Suddenly from the balcony there is the sound of a solitary figure clapping in the upper levels. The figure approaches the railing into the light

Voice: Perfect! NOW we are finally getting somewhere!
