The random time travelling van reappears as Alex Richards.. and the Alex Richards from the future hop out.
Future Alex: If I were you I'd advise your girlfriend and your brother to stay in the van.
Alex scoffs.
Alex: You don't tell Becky anything.
Rebecca: Damn straight you don't.
SZR: I'm not staying in the van.. I'd never hear the end of it.
Alex: That's the spirit. Say.. where the fuck are we anyway?
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
a herd of people ran past the van even giving the time travellers a second glance. That's because of the ten foot cow behind him. One lady doesn't run very fast. Those stiletto heels were a bad idea. She gets chomped by a bovine.
SZR: Aren't cows vegetarians?
Alex: Obviously not these cows. At least they aren't goblins turning people into vegetables. That was the worst.
SZR: Why are you not taking this seriously?
Rebecca: Maybe these are space cows.
Future Alex looks annoyed.
Future Alex: These aren't space cows. They are KILLER KOWS!
Alex: Well they should have been from outer space. It just sounds better.
More cows appear from the opposite direction. They appear to be herding the crowd.
SZR: Umm.. I don't mean to panic..
Alex: Then don't. Mad Cow disease barely killed anyone.
Future Alex: During your time it barely killed anyone.
More cow munching on people.
Future Alex: In this time it's killed approximately ten people in the past 5 minutes.
Rebecca: Don't worry Alex has a plan.
Suddenly a plan is blurted out... by a young Ron Jeremy looking man wearing all pink.
Pink Man: What we need is some bulls! This giant cows will calm down after a serious deep dicking!
Nobody even has time to respond to his nonsense as a bull does appear goring him right into two more cows who rip him in half.
Alex: Guess I'm not going to have to worry about Steven Osbourne getting his payback.
Future Alex: This is an alternative reality.
SZR: Then why did you send us here?
Alex: Well obviously... this Killer Kow threat was neutralized by the Enforcers.
Future Alex looks dumbfounded.
Future Alex: How did you..
Alex: For starters I'm you. But also it's kinda obvious.. Why else would you have brought us here? You think I'm new to this whole time travel thing?
Appearing out of nowhere is Odin Balfore holding what appears to be the world's largest cattle prod.
SZR: How did you..
Rebecca: He's a demigod. Duh.
Odin: See.. Becky gets it. Now check out this killer teamwork. We don't even have to communicate to come up with a plan.
And indeed they didn't. Alex promptly used his metahuman ability... going invisible. While Alex was invisible you could see one hell of a fire starting. Which would normally panic even giant kows except on this occasion they were distracted. By the massive God assaulting them with the cattle prod. The Kows in spite of being killer are merely kows. Kows kan't think. They attempted to bolt from Odin.. right into the path of the massive fire Alex had started. A few big boots, a few powerbombs, a few tosses and the kow threat had turned into a BBQ.
Time Travel? An otherworldly story? Does that seem firmilar to you Corey Black? That's old school Pantheon at it's finest. It's also new school Guardians. And even more recently it's become the teritory of the Enforcers. I just wanted to show you what the original Pantheon was. See.. last time we faced off you felt the need to judge me on my hall of fame status. You believed that the fact I was a hall of famer meant you were greater then the entire WCF hall of fame as a whole. But I realized something.. that's your philosophy in a nutshell. You honestly believe you are beyond reproach.. beyond judgment. That you don't have to answer for your crimes. You thought wrong. You thought that you could just turn Pantheon into anything you wanted. So you invited the Beach Krew to fuck things up. Because you're Corey Black.. the legend. But you're not in the WCF anymore. You're not in Pantheon anymore. Your ill advised attempt at welcoming the Beach Krew into the fold destroyed Pantheon. But that's not entirely true. Your arrogance destroyed Pantheon. Now it's about to do the same to the Man Made Gods.
You walked into the APW as if you owned the place. Which is your usual habit. But also as usual you didn't even think of the danger. This whole tournament I've been talking about getting my hands on the Man Made Gods in the finals. Do you not think there was a reason for that? But you.. you never so much as thought of the danger you were in. You're Corey Black, million time world champion, reigning AW Hardcore champion for the last five years or whatever... nobody beats me... blah blah blah.
Alex closes his eyes, pretends to sleep.
The whole thing is fucking tired. You know who beats you? I do. I handed you a loss in APW that would have sent you into retirement if Franky didn't talk you out of it. You owe your career resugence to FPV and after Battlecade you will curse his name. Franky talked you out of retirement but you talked your way into this match. Against the Enforcers. You know who beats the Enforcers? Literal nobody.
Alex laughs.
That's not hyperbole. That's not bragging. That's simple fact. We are undefeated. Ain't nobody changing that fact. The world champion and the number one contender, two stable mates.. they thought they had what it takes to beat the Enforcers. They are considered the two best wrestlers on the APW roster so if anyone had a chance it was them right? Nope. Smith Jones and Damon Warrens went down just like John Rabid and Roy Speede did in the past. It doesn't matter how many titles you had.. if you step into the ring with the Enforcers.. we fucking own you. That's the best part because Corey Black believes he's a wrestling god. He truly believes these tag titles are his destiny. Just because he's Corey Fucking Black. Nevermind the fact the Man Made Gods couldn't even win the Action Wrestling tag titles once... they were going to run through this tournament. Right. In a fed where Karlie Nash won the tag titles and you didn't... that somehow makes you an elite tag team? Dream the fuck on ya delusional fuck. Corey Black is a great wrestler. Likely the greatest of all time. But nobody believes that more then Corey does. That's going to be his downfall. He doesn't realize that everyone he does isn't money. Joey Flash Pantheon.. that wasn't money. The Man Made Gods... they have two world champions in their ranks but the fact they have two great singles wrestlers doesn't make them a great tag team. You never even earned a shot at the tag titles in Action.. you got derailed by a team named the Cool Kids before you got your own. Yep.. the Cool Kids. Does that seem embarrassing to you.. because it seems embarrassing to me.
Don't worry though.. this time you made it to a tag title match. After two guys who are great individually and even better as a team. When you lose to the Enforcers.. and you will lose to the Enforcers you don't need to be embarrassed. But you will. Corey Black your ego won't allow you to admit you were beaten by a better team. That's why our victory is ensured. Corey believes he's going to win just because he's Corey fucking Black. Odin and I have honed our skills through repeated challenges. We beat every single tag team on the WCF roster to win the only WCF tag league. We have decimated three more teams to make the finals of the APW tag team tournament. It's no fluke.. our power game is second to none. We can not only dish out more punishment then any other team we can take it as well. How do we know who much punishment our partner can take? Because we learned in first hand in the ring fighting each other. See.. Odin and I have a bond. We know what a tough son of a bitch our partner is because they proved it against us. Corey Black calls himself the King of All Wrestlers. I'm not going to dispute that. However Corey has been humbled by Thomas Bates. Defeated by Adam Young. He lost the internet championship to some guy named the Ninja. You know what that means? This loss to The Enforcers is going to be far from your most embarrassing title loss ever. Even kings aren't superior to demi gods.
The Man Made Gods? They were just two guys who went... yeah we were old school WCF guys.. that makes us a team.... right? No.. it fucking doesn't! And your name.. dude.. it just feels poser to me. You are man pretending to be Gods? Odin is an actual demi god.. I'm a metahuman. We are the closer things to Gods on this planet!
Do you remember what happened the last time you faced metahumans Franky? I'll bet you do. But it's funny you never seem to mention it. It's almost like you want to forget it. Let me remind you. It was almost the night your career ended. Ironic isn't it. You saved Corey Black from retirement but he certainly didn't save you. In fact he signed the match that resulted in a lengthy hospital stay and the near end of your career. It was back in 2017 you were teaming with Everest, Ethan King and Stephen Singh, to take on the Guardians, L Verez, Bonnie Blue and myself inside of the nightmare chamber. You remember how many weapons we used in the nightmare chamber to defeat you Frank? Not a one because we didn't need them! We simply overmatched you and your teammates. Remember that at Battlecade because this is going to feel like deja vu. How did we finish you off.. a spinebuster, backstabber, double stomp combo. Bonnie, L, and I nearly snapped your spine literally in half. What do you suppose Odin and I could do to you?
I nearly ended your career when the only grudge between us was the fact that you represented the WCF while I was repping the vastly superior UCI, mainly because we never employed Logan. Back then I respected us as a competitor. Now I see you for what you are.. an opportunist. Dandy used me as his protector when I was at my weakest. You did the same with Corey Black. He was considering retirement when you entered the ring and begged him to form a tag team. Why did you do this? Because you needed Corey. He's the legend you always wanted to do.. but never quite were. Corey's ego gets him into trouble. The fact that you have never been the legend you claimed to be is what gets you into trouble. Take for instance your match against Walter for the world title. You created this huge Take Down the Mongrel social media buzz. You had a Mountain Dew sponsorship promoting you leading into the match. So.. surely you won right? No.. your best effort wasn't good enough. Walter left with the championship. You weren't man enough to defeat Walter but guess who was. Why that would be my partner Odin Balfore who not only defeated Walter he did it in under 5 minutes. So you're facing a man who almost crippled you three years ago. And another man who destroyed the monster who decimated you. What chance do you think the Man Made Gods have exactly? Corey is filled with confidence because of who he is. I'm sure you're just filled with terror.
Alex smirks.
What's going to happen to you after you lose this match. After Corey realizes you never deserved to be his partner in the first place? I don't want to be in your shoes that's for sure. I know what you're thinking though.. you beat Odin Balfore. You won the world title. Yeah, that was a fluke.
Alex shrugs.
Sounds like a cop out, right? Normally I would agree but you were the man who allowed Lissie Hope to outsmart you and take your championship from you just last week. You're this veteran who apparently wasn't even smart enough to prepare for a potential All In challenge. How could you possibly have beaten Odin in any way besides a fluke? I'm sure you'll deny this claim but you won't be able to after Battlecade. Odin and I are going to leave no doubt as to who the true champions are. Odin beat Walter. The Enforcers beat Smith Jones. Seems to me that we dominate the men you aren't good enough to beat.
Do you remember the last time I got in the ring with you and Corey? That four way with Mikey Extreme. Remember how that went? Corey took out Mikey Extreme but was so satisfied with himself that was easy prey for me to take him and pin Mikey. What are you doing at the time Franky? Absolutely nothing. Kind of a preview as to how this match is gonna do I reckon. Corey Black is always wondering who's gonna suck his dick. I think you should FPV. As a reward for getting you this far and as a consolation because you aren't getting any closer to the championship. You know what the problem with everything that's man made? In the end it's always so fragile.. so breakable. You guys played yourselves.. you have already admitted you don't care about the championships.. you're just here because you think you can easily capture them. You don't realize you are facing two men who ain't about the titles.. we are about killing your legacy. The titles.. those are just our trophy.
Future Alex: If I were you I'd advise your girlfriend and your brother to stay in the van.
Alex scoffs.
Alex: You don't tell Becky anything.
Rebecca: Damn straight you don't.

Alex: That's the spirit. Say.. where the fuck are we anyway?

I'm sure you'll deny this claim but you won't be able to after Battlecade. Odin and I are going to leave no doubt as to who the true champions are. Odin beat Walter. The Enforcers beat Smith Jones.

Do you remember the last time I got in the ring with you and Corey? That four way with Mikey Extreme. Remember how that went? Corey took out Mikey Extreme but was so satisfied with himself that was easy prey for me to take him and pin Mikey. What are you doing at the time Franky? Absolutely nothing. Kind of a preview as to how this match is gonna do I reckon. Corey Black is always wondering who's gonna suck his dick. I think you should FPV. As a reward for getting you this far and as a consolation because you aren't getting any closer to the championship. You know what the problem with everything that's man made? In the end it's always so fragile.. so breakable. You guys played yourselves.. you have already admitted you don't care about the championships.. you're just here because you think you can easily capture them. You don't realize you are facing two men who ain't about the titles.. we are about killing your legacy. The titles.. those are just our trophy.
