The Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona comes alive as attendees to CPW's annual "Slammy Awards Show" take to their feet and applaud the introduction to the show. Several CPW athletes are in attendance -from Joe Summers, to Francisco Lopez, even Bobby Eugene Walker is standing next to the concession stand. Finally, the lights darken down and a spotlight shines down. From behind the curtains comes the one, the only...
Liam O'Hare: Whoa whoa whoa! Stop the presses! Hold the phone! Grab your popcorn! It's me, Liam O'Hare, and we have one EPIC show here for you tonight!!!
Suddenly Liam is interrupted by Audioslave's "Your Time Has Come" cutting in over the PA system. The CPW athletes who are familar with the situation, sit down shaking their heads while the women in attendance go wild -as Dan Ricardo suddenly emerges from the crowd. All smiles and waves, he gingerly takes a bow as women toss flowers -... and various forms of underwear, in his direction.
Daniel Ricardo: My my... it has been a WHILE, has it not? I just KNOW you were missing my golden talents, and so when it came to presenting these Golden Awards... well, my buddy Klesko -he knew who to call!
Liam O'Hare: Uh... when I need some backup, I'll let you know. Until then, would you kindly fetch me some water while I do my job and get on with this MOMENTOUS occasion?
Dan takes a step up to the stage, shaking his head and putting an arm around Liam's shoulder.
Daniel Ricardo: That hostility will get you nowhere, my friend. Why don't you just chill out a bit, wave to our gracious fans -and remember we're co-hosts for the night. It's going to be a great show, you know. Actually, you might say that it will be one GOLDEN night to remember!
Liam O'Hare: What's with you and this gold thing? You some kind of lame James Bond villain rip-off?
Dan takes a step back, looking almost dejected.
Daniel Ricardo: You... you... don't like gold?
Liam O'Hare: I... oh hell, let's get on with this!
The screen behind them comes to life, highlighting the first category being presented. It is "CPW'S 2011 BREAKOUT STAR"
Daniel Ricardo: Oh, to be a rookie again...
Liam O'Hare: I remember when I first started out in CPW. Talented beyond my years...
Daniel Ricardo: We had a lot of good people enter and leave the arena this year. A select few, stood above the crowd.
Clips roll of the various nominees. Darren Lellout, the ever popular contender. Francisco Lopez, the competitor who never backs down. Billy Dork, a man who’s strength is more than he knows. Cory Tyler, a dominating presence in the ring. and Michael Smart, an athlete with years of talent ahead of him.
Daniel Ricardo: And CPW’s Breakout Star for 2011 is...
Liam O'Hare: Hey, don’t you think I should present the award? I mean, such an epic moment and...
Daniel Ricardo: … Let’s not argue. We’ll both do it.
Liam O'Hare: Alright!
Daniel Ricardo & Liam O’Hare: The winner is... CORY TYLER!!!
The intro of "Till I Collapse" starts as the lights go out in the whole arena.
"Cause sometimes you just feel tired, Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."
As the lights fade between various shades of red and white with the beat, Murray emerges from the crowd to lead his client to the stage. Cory has the CPW Devastation Championship around his waist and the UWL World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder as he begins his walk up the steps.
"Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse. Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse."
Finally Cory and Murray get up to the stage and graciously take their place beside Daniel and Liam. Daniel hands Murray the microphone, which Cory takes from him.
Cory Tyler: I’m going to say this and only this -this is just the beginning. When I said I would be the face of this company, I wasn’t lying. That was a promise, and one I intend to keep. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s the truth. 2011 was a great year for me, and 2012 will be even better. It starts at Super Brawl, where I’m going to take Axl James Slade down live on Pay-Per-View in front of millions and prove myself as one of the most dominating competitors this company has ever seen. And from there, I’ll only go farther. Don’t believe me? Then just... keep... watching...
Eminem’s “Til I Collapse” hits again, with Cory dropping the mic to the floor. Murray begins applause for his client, and the two take their leave. Daniel retrieves the mic, and watches as the pair exits.
Liam O'Hare: Quite the talented individual! I expect greatness from him this year, and many --
Daniel Ricardo: Epic moments?
Liam O'Hare: You betcha!
An advert highlighting key matches from CPW’s ‘Super Brawl’ airs. When the scene returns, Dan is seen entertaining the crowd with a trivia game of sorts.
Daniel Ricardo: And for the grand prize... one last question... winner take all... grand prize, all six seasons of the Emmy Award Winning “Lost” DVD collection with never before seen Q&A secrets revealed Bonus Package...
Liam O'Hare: Pick me! Pick me!
Daniel Ricardo: You haven’t heard the question yet...
Liam O'Hare: I don’t care, I love Lost!
Daniel Ricardo: Sorry, first to answer correctly gets the prize. No preferences given! And here it is... the final question... WHO IS GRIZZLY???
Fans start shouting out guesses from within the crowd.
Fan #1: Sasquatch!
Fan #2: The Missing Slade Brother!
Fan #3: Trish Newborn returned after rehab!!!
Daniel Ricardo: Oh, close but no cigar! Anyone else?
Liam O'Hare: …
Daniel Ricardo: Liam?
Liam O'Hare: … I don’t know and I don’t care. Give me my boxed set.
Daniel Ricardo: No one knows? Dangit! That’s too bad. To tell you the truth, I don’t know either...
Liam O'Hare: Are you kidding me?
Daniel Ricardo: What?! I was curious! I was hoping someone here knew the answer!
Liam O'Hare: Let’s just present the next award...
The next award is highlighted on the screen behind them. “CPW’S MOST IMPROVED ATHLETE”.
Daniel Ricardo: This award goes to the athlete who really showed the most progress throughout the year. Maybe he started off rough, and ended well...
Liam O'Hare: Or maybe he was already fantastic, and really solidified his position through hard work and dedication.
Daniel Ricardo: Either way, the fans voted and this is what you had to say...
A video plays of the various nominees... Platinum Playa, current challenger for Dennielle Summers' Xtreme Chaos Championship. Michael Smart. Darren Lellout. Fancisco Lopez.
Liam O'Hare and Daniel Ricardo: And the winner is... DARREN LELLOUT!!!
The string intro for Skillet's "Awake and Alive" plays, and the crowd erupts in boos, already recognizing the theme and the wrestler it signals. Grinning widely, Darren Lellout stands up in the crowd and poses with a smirk -taking a bow before the crowd. Heading up the stage, he rudely dismisses Daniel Ricardo as he tries to shake his hand.
Darren Lellout: Woo! All right! Gimme that...
He snatches Dan’s mic. Darren Lellout: ...Yes! First of all, you know, I take great pride in this award, for not only ending the careers of Bobby Eugene Walker and Cameron Smith...
He pauses, letting the crowd jeer him some more. Darren Lellout: But also damn near crippling Cassie Evans...
He waves to Cassie and Danny at their table, who promptly greet him with middle fingers. Liam O’Hare: But you won this award for...
Darren: Shut up! This is MY acceptance speech! *pausing, and calming himself down* ...Second of all, I'd like to thank nobody but myself for this award. I did it all on my own! No help from any of you people, not from you, Krazy...
The camera cuts to Kris Slade mockingly applauding his ex-protege. Darren: Or you, Cory, or Murray, or either of the Killers! Oh, I guess I should mention Katie too.
The Kingdom is seen tossing insults at their ex-stablemate. Cory, in particular, is heard to call him a dick. Darren: I'm a dick? Bring it, you jock bitch! Any fucking time, I'm right here. The crowd erupts at the possibility of a fight, but both men are pulled into their proverbial corners.
Darren: I did it myself! And I will continue the legacy of Darren Lellout, and continue to show each and every one of you that I'm the best motherfucking wrestler on the face of this planet! Yes! Woo!
Darren thrusts the award, in his fist, into the air, a mix of cockiness, arrogance, and unbridled rage, before finally leaving the stage.

Liam O'Hare: Remember when Steffi Miretti rose above the ranks of Axl James Slade as CPW’s proverbial most unbeatable toughest challenger on offer? Her reign was fantastic, and seemingly never-ending. She was one Champion who never gave up, never surrendered, and never backed down no matter what her opponents threw at her. And they threw everything they could! For a while there, it looked like it would take a miracle for her to lose the Xtreme Chaos Championship! And then... Tommy Grace snapped.
Daniel Ricardo: That was one hell of a feud they had going. But none seemed so controversial, and so personal... as the war Solidus Filth waged against Joe Summers. Losing a loved one is never something that any of us want to deal with -but when it happened to Solidus, he made sure the world felt his pain. I never knew what would happen next between Summer Dreams and Valhalla, or how far it would go.
Liam O'Hare: That also brought us Denni Summers and Andrew Helms on the battleground though. Who could forget that? I think Denni herself might agree when I say -if it weren’t for Andrew Helms pushing her as far as he did, she would not be the Xtreme Chaos Champion today.
Daniel Ricardo: How about Bo and Duke? There’s a struggle that went anywhere and everywhere. Betrayal, heartache... this one got into the nitty gritty. And then they emerged as teammates! Who would have seen that one coming?
Liam O’Hare: Well we can’t forget Project Revolution and Summer Dreams, either. They reminded us why we still pay attention to the tag team division in the first place!
Daniel Ricardo: … if you haven’t already guessed... the next award goes to “BEST FEUD OF 2011”.
Liam O’Hare: And boy, we sure had some epic ones.
Daniel Ricardo: Sure did.
Recaps of the feuds are shown. From Tommy Grace winning the XC title, to Joe killing and resuscitating Solidus Filth.
Liam O’Hare & Daniel Ricardo: And the winner is... TOMMY GRACE VS. STEFFI MIRETTI!!!
Accepting on behalf of both competitors is Steffi Miretti, who takes to her feet and goes up to the stage after casually exchanging some high-fives with fans in attendance.
Steffi Miretti: Hey there StefFans! Unfortunately Mr. Grace couldn’t make it out here tonight. And after all the great times we shared together...
Her voice is oozing with sarcasm.
Steffi Miretti: On a serious note, though... thank you. It might not have been the most enjoyable experience, but I’m glad I was part of something that the fans clearly cared about. It was certainly a... memorable.... moment of my career, and one I’ll be able to look back on in a few years and be proud that I made it through. This one’s for you guys, thanks!
Holding her award to the audience, Steffi salutes the crowd and receives heavy applause from the fans. Smiling, she takes her leave.
Daniel Ricardo: Phew... what a woman, eh Liam?
Liam O’Hare: Um... someone call the medic. I think Bobby Eugene Walker just passed out in the concession stand.
Daniel Ricardo: Weird. I thought he was over his Steffi fixation... must have had a relapse.
Liam O’Hare: So anyway.... the next award is...
Daniel Ricardo: Alright! Yeah! Next up we have my favorite award... since, you know... I was in one of the greatest of all time... “TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR”.
Liam O’Hare: You were in Short Fuse?
Daniel Ricardo: Um no...
Liam O’Hare: Gehenna?
Daniel Ricardo: No.
Liam O’Hare: Wicked Awesome?
Daniel Ricardo: ... well, we were wicked awesome yeah... Liam O’Hare: The Sima Dyn---
Daniel Ricardo: NO NO NO! THE GOLDEN STARS, DINGUS!!!
Liam O’Hare: Huh? Never heard of them...
Daniel Ricardo: … Oh bother, lord have mercy...
Liam O’Hare: Anyway, we had a lot of great teams this year!
Daniel Ricardo: Oh yes, from the always impressive Summer Dreams---
Liam O’Hare: To the Hard Knocks becoming a legitimate force to be reckoned with!
Daniel Ricardo: Lots of teams...
Liam O’Hare: But only one winner.
Daniel Ricardo: And that winner is...
Highlights are shown of every team nominated. Summer Dreams. The Diadems. The Hard Knocks. Wicked Awesome. Valhalla. The Bastards. The Syndicate. and The Killers.
Daniel Ricardo & Liam O’Hare: The winners are THE DIADEMS!
Beaming with smug expressions, Kannon and Taurus stand up -proudly showing off their Dual Pandemonium Titles strapped over their shoulders. Once they head up on stage, Taurus is the first to speak:
Taurus: You know... coming here tonight, the tag team award being handed out, our names being called... half of me wants to be surprised.
Taurus pauses, and then smiles.
Taurus: And yet, the other half of me can’t help but NOT be. I mean... look at us! Look at these titles! First we prove ourselves as viable contenders, then we win these titles, and now we receive this award? I already knew that we were great! Kannon knew that we were great! We’ve always known! And it’s pretty nice that... finally... we’re getting a little bit of recognition around here for the work we’ve put forth.
Kannon steps forward and speaks.
Kannon: Let me say this... Let this be a ‘message’. To The Kingdom, to The Hard Knocks... Project Revolution... and ESPECIALLY supposed undefeatable teams like Summer Dreams... that you haven’t seen anything yet. The Diadems are not only going to take awards, but we’re taking our place in the Hall of Fame. We’re putting this division, and the company on notice. We’re... just... getting... started. Got it?
Kannon and Taurus raise their awards in the air, nodding to the audience and receiving a very mixed reaction as they take their leave.

Liam O’Hare: Cory Tyler? Is there a Cory Tyler still in the building? Yes? No?
Answering Liam... Murray rolls out on his wheelchair and onto the stage.
Murray: Yes? Mr. Tyler is backstage celebrating right now. Is there something I can help you with?
Liam O’Hare: Well... we just got another result in and... your client won another award.
Suddenly, Murray’s disposition changes to being quite gleeful.
Murray: Well, why didn’t you say so? He told you that this was just the beginning, and he was right! Two awards in one night! I’m telling you, my client is the biggest thing CPW has ever seen!
Liam O’Hare: Congratulations. Cory Tyler has just won CPW’s “HEEL OF THE YEAR” award. Awarded to our most dominating “bad guys” of wrestling, Cory Tyler has certainly stood above the competition!
Snatching the award from Liam, Murray beams and holds it up in the air for the crowd to see.
Murray: It’s like I always said, it’s not the nicest guy who prevails, but the one who makes the most out of the opportunities he is given! Anyway, unless Cory has a THIRD award, I do believe I will take my leave...
Liam O’Hare: You never know when you might be needed, but I think that’s all Cory was eligible for this year!
Shaking his head, Murray tosses the mic back to Dan Ricardo and wheels himself off stage. Dan Ricardo steps forward and presses the microphone to his lips.
Dan Ricardo: Well Liam, I have to say that... you’re actually alright. It’s been good tonight. Refreshing, you might say, to be in front of CPW cameras for the first time in I don’t know how long.
Liam O’Hare: I hate to admit it, but I guess you’re okay too. Not as epicly awesome or amazing as myself ---
Dan Ricardo: And you don’t have near the amount of golden talent that I do.
Liam O’Hare: But whatever. The night’s been good so far, and we still have a couple of awards to go!
Dan Ricardo: That we do. Up next is “BABYFACE OF THE YEAR!” award.
Liam O’Hare: That’s right. You, the fans, voted for the most popular “Good Guy” hero of wrestling. And CPW has plenty of role models that can fit the bill here....
Dan Ricardo: Like myself, or Brian Klesko...
Liam O’Hare: Or the always vigilant Joe Summers? His wife Denni? Even that Alex Evans kid showed a lot of heart this year!
Dan Ricardo: I do believe that Bobby Eugene Walker was up for nom---…
Interrupting Dan, Bobby Eugene Walker suddenly wakes up after passing out and starts shouting with enthusiam.
Bobby Eugene Walker: I WON? I WON? I REALLY WON! I KNEW IT! OH THE PEOPLE I HAVE TO THANK! CAN MISS PRETTY HAND ME THE AWARD? OH I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!
Dan looks on in absolute bewilderment at the overexcited Bobby Eugene Walker -until security finally grabs him and ushers him out of the building.
Dan Ricardo: Sorry Bobby, but as it turns out you are not our winner this year... the winner is...
Dan Ricardo & Liam O’Hare: DENNI SUMMERS!
Guano Apes’ "Open Your Eyes" fills the arena, the lighting darkening as a flashing strobe effect picks up. A spotlight shines down -centering down on the XC Champ Denni Summers. She looks shocked at first, but quickly smirks and steps up. She gets to the stage, where Dan Ricardo steps forward and hands her a microphone -he kisses her on the cheek as he hands it over, then points and winks at the unamused Joe Summers.
Denni Summers: Guess I’m not riding on coattails anymore, huh?
Denni laughs a bit.
Denni Summers: No, but really. I worked really hard this year, and went through a hell of a lot. I think I’ve proven myself more in this last year than I have ever before. And the results are obvious. Here I am the Xtreme Chaos Champion, now accepting an award at the Slammys. Right now, it’s me standing at the top of the mountain. Not Axl, not Tommy, not Bo. I’m the best in this company, and I’m going to continue to prove that throughout the year. Anyone who wants to prove me wrong... is welcome to try. Thanks again!
“Open Your Eyes” hits again, as Joe rushes onstage to join his wife. They both head backstage, joining the others who have accepted awards and are now socializing and celebrating in the back.
Liam O’Hare: This is almost it...
Dan Ricardo: Almost.
Liam O’Hare: Just one more award. My favorite award...
Dan Ricardo: Well, considering Brian Klesko just tweeted about the awesome after-party he’s hosting at The Golden Star club... you think we could just get through this one, end the night, and call it good? I don’t mean to rush but---
Liam O’Hare: Oh come on! You have all night to party! This is the best award of all time! The ultimate, the most amazing, the most epic of epics epicsauce and a side of awesome!
Dan Ricardo: ….
Liam O’Hare: UP NEXT... WE HAVE... THE ONE... THE ONLY... MATCH OF THE YEAR AWARD!!!
Dan Ricardo: You’re gonna make me miss the after-party of the year....
Liam O’Hare: Hey now, we had some great matches this year!!! Joe and Solidus’ final skirmish, when Joe and Soli went head to head in one of the most brutal matches of their careers. Solidus nearly killed Joe at that point, up until his son came out and stopped him! How about The Suicide Club and S.O.D. That moment that Axl was crucified was one of CPW’s most memorable and shocking throughout the entire year! Or the way Valhalla and Andrew Helms nearly ended their own careers along with the careers of Summers Dreams and ---….
Dan Ricardo: AND THE WINNER IS---… wait a minute, this can’t be right.
Liam O’Hare: What is it?
Dan Ricardo: Uh....
Daniel hands Liam the envelope.
Liam O’Hare: Uh... what?! But nobody even saw this match! We don’t even know what the hell happened! How could the fans have seriously voted for this?!
Dan Ricardo: The winner is.... Andrew Helms vs. Denni Summers.... Lights Out Unsanctioned Match at Cruelty and the Beast.
The audience claps, bewildered. Rather than anyone accept the award, however -the building suddenly seems to lose power and all the lights go out.
Dan Ricardo: What the hell? Is someone trying to recrea--…
A crash is heard, and Daniel Ricardo’s voice falls flat. Several clashes are heard from the stage, and moments pass without a sound. No one knows what’s happening until the lights finally come on. Standing next to the very frightened Liam O’Hare, and dragging along a captive and bound Claira Charisma... is Benjamin King, Avarice.
Avarice: Well well well... guess ol’ Goldilocks didn’t see that one coming!
Avarice laughs, kicking the fallen and busted open Daniel Ricardo, who lies slumped on the floor after being struck down.
Avarice: Though, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of you! After all, my masked stalker has still refused to show himself and well... I’m getting a little impatient! It’s been too long now, too long have my matches gone interrupted and tampered with while the so-called management refuses to do a damned thing about it! Well it doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m taking matters into my own hands. Right, Claira?
Ben laughs as he yanks Claira forward -carrying her on a leash and collar. Tears in her eyes, she tries to yell out but Ben has her mouth taped and bound. She tries to get away but Ben responds in kind -snapping back on the leash so hard that she falls to her back.
Liam O’Hare: Ben, you should ---….
Avarice: SHUT UP!!!
Liam promptly drops his microphone and runs offstage. Ben notices some of the athletes in the front get up and try to head on stage...
Avarice: Don’t even think about it! I’m interested in one person, and one person only! And until that person has the balls to come out here....
Ben reaches forward and grabs Claira by the arm, starting to twist it back so hard that Claira’s screams can be heard even through the bindings.
Avarice: I’m going to start breaking limbs! One by one... until this “Fake Avarice” reveals himself once and for all!
Claira’s screams intensify when Ben drops his mic and uses both hands to wrench her arm back as hard as he can. Suddenly, however, the lights turn out once again. Claira’s screams can be heard still, and that is all... until the lights go on, and Benjamin King finds himself face to mask with his doppleganger. He smiles, and releases Claira.
Avarice: Finally. TAKE OFF THAT MASK!
The Fake Avarice stands motionless and unresponsive.
Avarice: TAKE OFF THAT MASK!
No response. Avarice grows angry and charges over to his Fake Counterpart.
Avarice: I SAID---….
Benjamin rips the mask off his doppleganger -revealing nothing more than a mannequin standing unmasked. Ben looks shocked... until the ‘real’ Fake Avarice comes up from behind him with a steel chair and busts him over the heard with it. Ben drops like a ton of bricks, looking as the real fake reveals themselves... taking off the mask.... is...
Jaime DiRocco: You know, I would have liked to have had fun for a little while longer. Too bad you had to go and carry it this far, though. Guess I’m just forced to confront and embarrass you once again, right Benny?
King tries to grab her, but she steps out of reach. Looking toward the screen, she laughs as ‘The Jackass Match’ where Jaime had Ben dressed up as a donkey plays in a loop over and over again. Ben yells out enraged, and makes a desperate attempt to lunge for Jaime... and is knocked out cold by a final shot from the steel chair. Jaime smiles, dropping the chair, and bowing before the audience.
Jaime DiRocco: Performance of the Night Slammy? I think so! Anyway, goodnight everyone! And thanks for coming!
The slammy awards come to a close, and the broadcast ends.
