:The camera fades into see Dave walking the halls of the APW arena. He looks cocky as hell and has a much different attitude then the last time we have seen him. He turns a corner and see's a guy with a head set on and he walks over to him.:
Dave: You have a headset on you must be some body important.
:The guys turns and looks at DVD like he has no clue who he is:
Headset guy: Who are you?
:Ok so apparently, he doesn't. :
Dave: I am Dave Van Dam….
Headset guy….Who?
Dave….The Immortal Icon.
Headset guy….The Immortal what? Go fuck yourself rookie, I'm trying to run a show here.
:Dave looks sheepish and goes to speak again…..but is cut off.:
Headset guy: What the fuck I tell ya? Move it. Security remove that guy.
:The security guard start starts to walk over to Dave, he is a gentleman in his mid-fifties with a little grey starting to creep up the garage doors. Dave extends his hand.:
Dave: Andrew it's been a long time….how have you been? How's Marie and the kids? Who is that twit that doesn't know who I am?
:Andrew looks at Dave kind of embarrassed:
Andrew: How old is that guy Dave?
Dave: I don't know about 25 or so?
:Andrew nods his head.:
Andrew: Yeah so how old was he the last time you were relevant?
:Dave nods his head.:
Dave: Ouch and point taken.
Andrew: These are different times Dave. You will always be a legend in the business but with people now all they care about is what is right in front of them. You haven't done anything relevant in over 10 years. Even your run in BW was on the back of what you did in SFT.
:Dave cuts off Andrew:
Dave: Those where the days man. You were chief security for SFT and here we are.
:Andrew looks at Dave with a little disappointment.:
Andrew: That's the problem Dave. Those were the days. Yeah…. but for you this is where the money is.
:Dave looks back at Andrew nodding his head.
Dave: True man…..True…. Now that Mikey is out looks like you are my only friend here?
:Andrew pats him on the back and says as he is walking away.:
Andrew: Retiring next week you old fuck….so should you…..finally…..
:Dave kind of stands there a little dumbfounded for a second and then walks the halls like a ghost until he stops in front of a black curtain. All of the sudden "In The Light" by DC Talk blares throughout the arena. The fans in the arena give a small pop and Dave makes his way from the curtain. He looks out to the crowd and he see's a bunch of children and teens looking down at their phones and some older fans cheering or booing based off their remembrance of DVD's. Dave is not used to the arena not exploding so he takes it with a grain of salt and heads down the rampway. He slides under the bottom rope and pops to his feet. He goes to the corner and asks for a microphone.:
Dave: So, this will literally be my first in ring conversation with you guys in a bit of time so be patient with me.
:Dave pauses and it is quiet enough you could hear crickets.:
Dave: Ok thanks. So I have been thinking about this all week…..thinking about what I was going to say….how I was going to relive the past one more night and make you all realize I am the legend I am and all that other happy horseshit but sometimes reality has a way of slapping you in the face. Let me add some context. So, I arrived at this arena tonight on fire. Feeling rejuvenated. Like I was ready to write the next chapter of my legendary career right in front of your eyes. I was going to grace you all with the words you all have heard over……and over……and over…...but then I ran into an old friend. I ran into some I rode the street's with for over 20 years and that right now knows me better than anyone in APW. Former head of security for one of my old organizations Andrew Mcmasterson.
:Dave raises his arm towards the back, but nothing happens.:
Dave: Come out bud…..I want to share the news with the world.
:The fans in the arena look around confused as why is a jobber like DVD getting so much air time.:
Dave: Come on out bud! Don't make me come back there and get you.
:Andrew stumbles from behind the curtain and walks down to the ring. All the while Dave is trying unsuccessfully to hype up the fans. Andrew walks up the steps and into the ring and leans over
to Dave, but it is heard on the microphone just contributing to this shit show.:
Andrew: Dave what is this?
:Dave grandstands for a few and then hops over and puts his arm across Andrew's shoulders very firmly.:
Dave: My man…..my friend……has just shared the news that after serving this business for nearly 25 years he is going to retire.
:Andrew is becoming increasingly uncomfortable, Dave whose demeanor has completely changed notices this:
Dave: MY MAN……that was a bomb to drop on an old friend but not before you had another conversation with me that was a little more poignant. Let's look.
:Dave runs the video of the conversation between himself and Andrew before he headed out to the ring. Andrew in the ring currently is attempting to leave but Dave with his arm around him will not let him leave, the fans are starting to buy in a little more as they can see Dave's manic mind is starting to kick in. The video runs to its completion and the camera focus back in on Dave and Andrew standing in the ring. Dave takes his arm off Andrew's shoulder and starts to fix Andrew's suit coat. A smile comes across Dave's face and as soon Andrew look's a little relieved Dave surprises him with a low blow and Andrew crumbles to the mat. Dave walks back over and picks the microphone he had dropped to fix Andrew's coat.:
Dave: He is right….All this business is any more is talk, talk, talk, and no action. Everyone out there over the last few weeks has listened to me babble on about nothing. I have babbled on about things none of you even have a clue about. My legacy and legendary you all do not deserve. I will usher everyone into The New Era of Van Dam but it won't be indulging and educating you all about the wars of the past that helped make this business what it is. It'll be through violence. Destroying your heroes and all you hold dear.
:Andrew starts to crawl and makes his way out of the ring, but Dave notices this and grabs him by his leg and pulls him back in. He picks him up and drops him with an implant DDT, in a fluid motion Dave slides under the bottom rope and pulls the ring apron up and searches for something under the ring. After a few seconds he emerges with a chair that has thumbtacks superglued to it. The fans in the area not completely involved begin to boo DVD. Dave takes the chair and bashes it across his own head which sends blood spewing into the front row. An 87-year geriatric grandmother vomits when blood splashes on her glasses. Paramedics rush in and the most entertaining thing in this segment comes to an end as she is carted off on the gurney. Dave slides under the bottom rope and lays the chair down in the middle of the ring. He picks Andrew up and hand him in a brain buster position and drops him directly on the chair. Andrew's body sticks like a lawn dart onto the chair. Dave quicks stands up…..removes a thumbtack from his forehead and leans back down and picks up the microphone.
Dave: So, at Alpha Showdown I unrealistically apologize to everyone in the Penultimate Showdown Match for this side of me, the violence that will ensure. In reality the only ones to blame are these uneducated, cell phone face frozen fools who have zero interest in appreciating a legend paint their next masterpiece right before their eyes so I will make them watch in utter horror as I eviscerate and scalp the legacy of their so-called heroes and legends.
:Dave drops the microphone one more time and walks over to Andrew's motionless, bleeding, body laying in the middle of the ring and get's down on all four's and get's year close to Andrew's bleeding head. He licks his head and his eyes roll back in his head. He put his face once again close to Andrew's head and this time as he rise's he has a thumbtack in his mouth. Dave spits the thumbtack out and hops back to his feet seamlessly. He repositions the chair in the ring and heads back over to Andrew he picks Andrew up on his shoulders and chuckles and quickly delivers TOTAL VANDAMNATION on THE CHAIR! Immediately officials come running from the back flanked by teams of paramedics to assist Andrew. Dave makes his way through the crowd of people and leans down and pucks up the microphone once again.:
Dave: So now we are here….The time is now. The New Era of Van includes violence un-matched by anything any of you annoying peons could ever comprehend but I promise you…..you will know……you will respect me and what I can do……you are sitting out there thinking to yourself…..yup some one will shut him up at Alpha Showdown but don't get lost in translation I have zero anticipation of walking out with a W because let me be clear. That is not my intention. I have no intention of titles…fame….or glory….granted won't mind them along the way…..but this venture in the New Era of Van Dam will be an educational one. So, sit back…..get ready……and be prepared to have your guideless future rewritten in blood.
:Dave slides under the bottom rope one last time and heads over to the side of the ring again like he is searching for something once again but is voice is heard while he is searching.:
Dave: Also, Ms. Rose I have a little red in my ledger that I feel is owed to you. So, I will be bringing a friend with me who has taken a liking to you since you beat Mikey and I, and she will have a front row seat.
:With that the drop of the microphone is heard throughout the arena and Dave pops back up and in his hand is another chair. This chair is spray-painted with a perfect likeness of Liliana Rose on it. It also is embedded with beautiful colored shards of glass. Dave holds the chair up in the air and the commotion around the ring is evident as the fans are aghast at Andrew's gruesome injuries. Dave just panders to the fans as the load up Andrew on the gurney and slowly roll him out of the arena. As they pass Dave he leans down to Andrew and says…….:
Dave: Enjoy retirement old friend.
: The paramedics rush Andrew out of the arena and the camera fades to black as the fans begin to throw trash at Dave and the APW trainee's clean up the pools of blood in the ring. :
Dave: You have a headset on you must be some body important.
:The guys turns and looks at DVD like he has no clue who he is:
Headset guy: Who are you?
:Ok so apparently, he doesn't. :
Dave: I am Dave Van Dam….
