~We view the runway of a local, independent airfield. An OCW plane is seated, patiently awaiting the arrival of its passengers. A podium is set up near the plane with a group of reporters standing, holding mics and note pads. A stretch limo pulls up as a buzz fills the atmosphere. Smith hastily exits from the passenger's door and rushes for the back. He carefully pulls the door open as Jones rushes out of one of the back doors and to the trunk, yanking a wheel chair out. He sets it up and places it near the door. Jones and Smith aid a large, muscular man from the back seat and into the chair. Smith shuts the door as Jones wheels Dean toward the podium. Smith taps the hood of the limo as it drives off. Dean is covered in a robe as his head hangs, almost limply. He seems nearly lifeless. They reach the podium as Smith pulls a golden 'pimp' like cane out, handing it to Dean. Dean struggles at first, before finally grasping it. Jones and Smith help him out of the chair as Dean shakily stands on his feet. Slowly, he wobbles his way to the podium with Smith and Jones at his side, ensuring he doesn't fall over. The media in attendance hold still, in eerie silence seeing a giant, legendary physical specimen in such a weakened state. Dean reaches the podium with Smith and Jones holding onto his tree trunk like arms. He coughs a bit into the mic before squeezing out a few words~
President Dean: I...I...I would just like to say...
~Suddenly, Dean hurls his arms to the side, flinging Smith and Jones through the air, away from him. Dean does a back flip, landing perfectly on his feet. He rips his robe off to reveal a chiseled upper torso tucked into an expensive pair of jeans. Dean does a strut back to the mic and tries to break the cane over his knee, he winces~
President Dean: Fuck! Note to self, next time order a wooden cane
~Dean composes himself behind the mic before continuing~
President Dean: That's right, suckas! I've officially been released from the hospital and I feel better than ever! I don't know what these crazy Brazilians put in that IV drip, but, shit, I would certainly like the recipe. I haven't felt this spry since I was in my twenties!
~Having calmed down from unforeseen twist, the media members in attendance begin some questions~
Question 1: Mr. Dean...I'm Kent Lock from the Miami Herald and I was curious as to what actions you're going to take towards Ian Bishop after his actions?
President Dean: Lock, eh? Well, a restraining order is currently being filed between OCW and Ian Bishop. That fucker may be wrestling on March 29th, but it won't be in Milan...it will probably be a turkish bath house.
Question 2: Scuse me, Dean, sir, but I'm Edgar Wood from the Newark paper...and I was...
President Dean: Wait a minute...Lock...and Wood...son of a bitch!
~Dean obtains his cane and he runs out from behind the podium, drilling both Kent Lock and Edgar Wood in the head with it, knocking them unconscious. He returns behind his podium~
President Dean: Any more questions?
Question 3: I will refrain from unveiling my name, if you don't mind...but it does seem Revenge has made you a bit jumpy.
President Dean: It's a savage business we work in, gentlemen...or, well, that I work in. You guys are actually in a pretty pussified profession...no offense. But, yea, pro wrestling is a savage dog-eat-dog kind of world and when you're the king of said kingdom, there are no shortages of individuals looking to knock you off your throne.
Question 4: While you are dead set against Ian returning, what about the Lockwoods? Is it true they can earn an OCW contract by winning at Massacre next Sunday?
President Dean: That is true. Typically, I don't give in to that type of behavior but Awe.Some made some valid points and, well, being a former wrestler myself, I can understand the need for retribution.
Question 5: Any comments on Mario and his demeanor since returning?
President Dean: We're glad to have Maurako back as he's one of the giants in OCW history. As far as why he's back or what moved him to come back, well, that's between Maurako and other people at work behind the scenes. As long as he shows up for his appearances and puts forth his best effort, I could care less what's going on personally.
Question 6: The Oh Shit Match seems to be super competitive this month, do you see two competitors equal to Supreme Machine and Ricky Rhodes emerging this month?
President Dean: I hope so, that's what the concept was designed for. Ashe Dawson, RM Strong, Angelle Laree, Noah Mackenzie and Tatum Coe all have the ability to rise up make some noise. As for the other competitors, well, they are talented but definitely in need of putting forth a push to make a name for themselves...so, I guess we'll see.
Question 7: What went into the decision to have a number one contenders match between O'Connor, Grenier and PerZag?
President Dean: Assuming you guys have eyes and assuming you actually use them, it should be pretty obvious how fucking close the OCW Title Match at Revenge was. Grenier and O'Connor definitely deserve a shot at returning to the main event. PerZag, well, he put forth a great effort and is one of the most talented, reliable wrestlers we've ever had. Honestly, it was one of the easier matches to book.
Question 8: Why Danny B?
President Dean: Why not? He defeated PerZag in one of the most brutal match concepts we've ever had. He's a Hall of Famer who is at the top of his game. Plus, he and Vargas have a bit of history...it just makes sense. Honestly, this feud may go down as one of the most bitter feuds in OCW History...right up there with Scorpion and Lurrr.
Question 9: Was Lurrr upset about being passed over for Danny B?
President Dean: Lurrr is content with his Hall of Fame Title for now...if or when that changes, I'm sure he will let me know.
Question 10: Alice Knight has been pretty quiet...is she poised to be upset by Dangerous Dan?
President Dean: Only and idiot would call that an upset. It should be a great match crowning a worthy Paradigm Champion.
Question 11: Why thrust Brandon Gateman into a match with Supreme Machine instead of making him earn it? Angelle Laree, RM Strong, Ashe Dawson and Noah Mackenzie didn't receive such beneficial treatment.
President Dean: Gateman made an impact at Code of Silence...he was also one of our last Hardcore Champions before the end of 2014. I think his placement fits the magnitude of his return.
Question 12: How does it make sense for SuMa to get a #1 Contenders match while holding the Oh Shit contract?
President Dean: Well, where would you have placed him, genius? Would you have simply left him off the card? You can't do that with a talent like SuMa. If he wins, hey, he'll have two opportunities at winning a title...far from a punishment.
Question 13: Can Ricky Rhodes unseat The Lost Soul and, if he does, will either of them move beyond the Ascension division?
President Dean: Ricky Rhodes absolutely can defeat TLS. I wouldn't have booked the match if I didn't think he could win the title. As far as moving beyond the division, we'll have to see the type of effort both men put forth.
Question 14: Why Maurako and Lurrr against Awe.Some...that seemed so...so out of left field?
President Dean: Not everything should be booked by the, umm, books. A curve ball every once in awhile keeps people on their toes. Plus, this match has tremendous potential. First off, you have OCW purists comparing Awe.Some to Perfectly Marvelous...well, what better way to measure that than to put them in the ring with one half of PM. It's also one of those rare opportunities where you get to see OCW's history square off against its future...pretty cool, if you ask me.
Question 15: Talk about Massacre...what can we expect?
President Dean: A lot of chaos and Chad Vargas putting himself over all night long.
Question 16: Don't you think it's a little bias to give him that much air time?
President Dean: He's the champ, the champ gets certain privileges and exemptions. It has nothing to do with Vargas, the human...do you really think I'd go out of my way to aid a racist southerner, seriously. Look at me
Question 17: Do you not like racist southerners because of their botched english lexicon?
~Dean just kind of stares at the nimrod who asked the asinine question~
President Dean: Yea, we're done here.
~Dean heads for the private jet with Smith and Jones limping behind. The rest of the media boo the idiot who asked Question 17, hurling pens and pencils at him as we fade out~
President Dean: I...I...I would just like to say...
~Suddenly, Dean hurls his arms to the side, flinging Smith and Jones through the air, away from him. Dean does a back flip, landing perfectly on his feet. He rips his robe off to reveal a chiseled upper torso tucked into an expensive pair of jeans. Dean does a strut back to the mic and tries to break the cane over his knee, he winces~
