: The scene opens up inside of a derelict looking arena. The OCW arena in fact. The seats are covered in cobwebs and some have cuts in them. Scattered about the floor are pieces of broken tables. In the center, where the ring would normally be, we see ring posts on their sides forming a type of square. In the middle of this square is a small campfire (don't ask why there's one inside a building.) and people of various characteristics sitting on the fallen posts. Let's say that they are all late teens, very early twenties. We see a large, rotund man who is not a picture of health (Baff), a young lesbian couple (Lolly and Sera), a hip looking African American dude (Juice), and an arrogant looking guy sporting a well-groomed beard (Eden). There are a few others but we'll get to them at a later date. There are beer cans littered around them. Baff seems to be regaling the group with a story. :
Baff: It all started right here. They say that Mike Zybala was super excited to be running OCW. With Marcus Welsh stuck in North Korea, Zybala had free reign over the place. Being the owner, he could make all the changes he wanted. Get rid of frivolous things that Welsh had so he could make room in the budget for better equipment and pay raises for everyone. It looked like he would take OCW to a new golden age. That's when things went downhill.
: Lolly shivers and gets closer to Sera. Eden looks nonchalant as he drinks more beer. Juice is indifferent as he is messing around with his phone. The other nameless people are paying attention to Baff; who continues. :
Baff: Nobody knows what happened next for sure. Some say that Zybala funneled OCW money into his pet project of Outsiders which caused OCW to go bankrupt. Others say that Welsh had a contract clause that said OCW couldn't legally exist without him and forced the company to close using legal black magic. Some even say that the company was really owned by the best seller of the mother/wife demographic, Will Gardner, and he just didn't want to be arsed with the company. Regardless of what really happened, OCW closed down, and with it came the disappearance of Zybala. Some say that he still roams the halls in this very arena; waiting for people to break in like we did.
Lolly: What does he do to people bears that break in???
Baff: No one knows for sure. Some say that he will chase his victims and superkick them to death. Others say that he will drag you away and force you to compete in Outsiders forever.
: The whole group shudders in fear. All except for Juice, who just looks stoic. :
Juice: Man, that's all bullshit. I saw Zybala just last week on the GCWA show.
Eden: Didn't your cousin Duce fight him on a ppv before?
Juice: (looking annoyed) For the last time, all because we're both black doesn't mean we're related.
Sera: Yeah, Eden. Way to be an Incredible racist. Leave Juice alone.
: Sera then looks at Juice and winks. She gives him THAT look, despite holding Lolly close. Sigh, she wants to break horror movie rule number one. Baff continues to talk. :
Baff: Rumor has it that the GCWA guy is Zybala's ghost. Which makes my story more believable.
Juice: Only that dumbass Hood thinks Zybala is a ghost, fat boy. All the processed chemicals in those chicken sandwiches you've been eating have fucked up your head if you believe that shit.
Baff: Don't make me kick your vegan ass for a third time, Juice. You don't have any proof that it's not real. Why don't you go looking around to find Zybala if you think it's just a story?
: Juice begins to look nervous. He doesn't believe in Zybala, but he also doesn't want to be by himself in the run down place. Crazy people tend to migrate in places like this. He doesn't want to look scared though, so he puffs up his chest and looks Baff in the eye. :
Juice: Why don't we both look? It'll help prove I'm right if there are an extra set of eyes looking.
Eden: We all can look! We're running out of beer anyways.
Lolly: I don't wanna look! This sounds scary! What if Zybala IS here?! I don't want to be kicked!
: How about getting kicked OUT!?!
: Lolly screams as this voice comes from out of nowhere. The group turns to see a scowling man in a security uniform and holding a flashlight pointing at the group. Eden screeches "ZYBALA!" in fear. The guard shakes his head. :
Guard: I ain't Zybala. I'm the night security for the building. I've been here since…… I'd say about 1999.
Juice: You got twenty one years and you stuck on the night shift?
Guard: Stuck? I get to HAVE the night shift because I've been here so long. Before the Corona, I got to watch all the concerts, sports shows, and wrestling I could want, and I got paid for it! When everything shut down, I still kept my job, just to make sure riffraff didn't break in. Like you lot. You all gotta scoot before morning.
Lolly: Is that when Zybala attacks?
Guard: Zybala ain't a phantom, girly. We got a clean up crew coming in to fix everything up for OCW! I get to watch the live shows again!
Baff: What do you mean, old timer? OCW shut down.
Guard: Not anymore. Someone is opening her up again, and with a month long cash prize tournament too! They got some mighty big names too, like PerZag, Noah Hanson, R.O.S.E. and Duce Jones! Even your "ghost" Zybala is fighting. Jones and him are going at it in the first round.
Eden: Your cousin is fighting Zybala, Juice?
Juice: Listen, cracker! He ain't my kin!
Guard: How about you all listen and get the fuck out? Zybala isn't dead and he sure as shit ain't no gho….
: Before the guard can finish his sentence, an arm reaches around him and pulls him into the shadows. The guard starts screaming and drops his flashlight. The group starts screaming, Lolly being the loudest, and Baff picks up the flashlight. He points it at the direction of the screaming. We see the guard struggling with…. someone? The person is dressed in all black with a huge, deep hood covering his head. The hooded figure waves at the group before disappearing into the shadows with the guard. Everyone starts to panic. :
Sera: Ohmygodohmygodohmygod….
Lolly: I don't want to be superkicked to death!!
Eden: I don't wanna wrestle in Outsiders!!
Juice: We need to get the fuck out of here, NOW!
Baff: Guys, I don't remember how we came in.
Eden: …. Shit, neither do I? Does anyone?
: Everyone looks at each other and shakes their head. Ah, horror clichés. Gotta love 'em. Baff speaks up. :
Baff: OK, we need to split up so we can find an exit faster.
Juice: How come when scary shit happens, you white folk wanna split up?! We need to stay together!
: Everyone ignores the wise words and disperse, leaving Juice alone. He mutters to himself about white people before turning on the flashlight feature of his phone. He does a quick 360 and sees that he is alone. He takes a few steps and the room gets darker. He turns around to see the campfire has been put out. Juice shines the light around but he sees nothing. As his eyes adjust to the dark, he makes his way to the rows of seats in hopes of finding an aisle, and with it, a doorway. After stumbling in the dark for a bit, Juice is briefly blinded as the overhead lights kick on. Juice rubs his eyes and starts to look around. He sees the hooded figure standing in the aisle he was heading towards, several feet away. Juice starts to back up and turns to run away when the lights cut off again. A moment passes before they come back on and the figure is much closer. Juice screams and takes off! He spots a ladder leaning against the rail of the 100 level seating.
Juice makes a mad dash for the ladder. He's leaping over old ring parts and broken seats, but the figure doesn't move. Juice makes it to the ladder and starts to climb. As he gets half way, the lights turn off again. When they turn back on, Juice is a little higher up, but the figure is at the bottom of the ladder!! It methodically starts to climb up after Juice, who has just reached the top. He waits until the figure is three quarters of the way up, and gives the ladder a mighty push! The lights go out and we can hear the ladder crash to the floor. When they come back, the ladder can be seen on the floor but the figure is nowhere in sight. Juice swears, but isn't sticking around to look. He bolts out of the arena proper, and into the concession area. He's running down the hall, looking for an Exit sign, when a foot flies by; barely missing his face!! The momentum brings the figure crashing into a popcorn stand. Juice grabs a nearby mop and starts wailing away on the figure! After many solid hits, the figure isn't moving, but Juice is. He's off again in his desperate search for an exit.
Eventually, Juice sees a door. He tests the handle; it's unlocked! He opens the door and passes through. He shines his light around to get his bearings. It looks like a supply area. Juice is about to turn around when the door slams shut! He tries the handle again, but this time it's locked. To make matters worse, the lights start flickering on and off. Juice is visibly starting to panic as he looks around. Every time the light turns on, he can see the figure appearing in different places. The lights go out for a while this time. They come on, but only too late! Juice has enough time to see the sole of a sneaker before he's smacked with a superkick! Juice staggers backwards and the figure leaps forward with another kick. It connects and Juice is knocked against a wall. He tries to shake the cobwebs and manages to dodge a third superkick. He staggers to the side as he sees the foot go through the web. The figure struggles to get it's foot out, and Juice looks around for a weapon. He spots a huge spotlight next to the figure. Juice charges at the figure, lifts it up and slams it into the light. Glass shatters everywhere and a huge crack can be heard as both fall into the light. Juice shakily gets to his feet and looks at the figure. It's hard to tell with the hood, but it's neck looks to be bent at an unnatural angle. Juice waits.
Seconds pass.....
Minutes pass……..
The figure starts to move! It slowly gets up, it's head still unnaturally bent. Juice freaks out, tries the door again and it thankfully opens up! He bolts out of the room and tries to put as much distance he can between him and this relentless, unyielding, seemingly unstoppable figure of superkicking horror!! Juice knows that he has no chance of beating this monster! Escape is his only option. He keeps running and looking when luck seems to have smiled on him. Juice finally spots an Exit sign! He follows the sign's arrow, and runs harder than he's ever run in his life. Finally, a couple of yards away, he sees a set of double doors with an exit sign above them. He gets closer….
And closer…….
Freedom is just mere inches away!!
The lights go out….
When the lights come back on, a lock and chain have appeared on the push bars of the doors. Juice starts sobbing. All that running and fighting, all that hard work, just to be completely meaningless in the end. Juice falls to his knees, and cries even harder as he realizes the futility of his actions, Unfortunately, he doesn't notice the hooded figure standing silently behind. The figure slowly reaches out a hand towards Juice.
We then cut over Lolly and Sera. They look uneasy as they too search for an exit. Suddenly, Juice's scream of terror can be heard throughout the arena. Lolly timidly squeaks in fear and clings close to her lady love as the scene fades to black. :
