OCW Presents: 24/7
From the OCW Arena
Post Death March/Pre Christmas Party
~We are back States side in the OCW arena! More specifically, we are backstage just outside of Greggory Poblano's office. The door is open and loud noises can be heard from the room. The camera gets close but stops when a computer monitor flies out of the doorway and smashes into the wall. The camera cautiously peeks around the corner and we see an enraged Mike Zybala destroying everything. The bar, the massage table, everything that he can get his hands on. He grabs a bottle of the top shelf booze and opens it. He takes a swig before pouring the rest of the contents all over. He pulls out a lighter from his pocket, lights it and let's it fall on the alcohol soaked floor. Flames come to life as Zybala leaves the office.~

~Welsh is leaned back in a recliner aboard an early morning private flight home from CANADA (GREAT NATION TO THE NORTH). An employee is massaging his feet while Greg rubs his temples~
Marcus Welsh: You guys are the best.
Greg: We all know how stressful these shows are on you, especially that main event, Marky.
~Welsh cannot argue. The door to the bathroom opens and Leo struts out with his typical swagger. He sits down. His phone beeps...he opens it and plays a video. We hear the beginning of Zybala's tirade inside Poblano's office. Leo quickly mutes the video. Welsh slowly looks over~
Marcus Welsh: What are you watching?
~Leo's eyes wide...he hesitates before responding~
: We cut backstage to see Mike Zybala storming down the halls. He is holding a gas can in one hand and a blowtorch in the other. He stops right outside of a closed door. The plaque on the door reads "Marcus Welsh." Zybala ponders for a moment before shaking his head. :
Zybala: No... Marcus tried to help.... I wonder if Pablino has shown up yet. I could always see his car on fire...
: Zybala walks off; presumably to go to the parking lot. :

In the A-List Family locker room, Dylan and Lissandra are having a conversation.
Lissandra: No, baby.... I swear it wasn't me that threw in the towel.
Dylan: Well if it wasn't you, who was it? Rob?
The door swings open and there sits Lord Allton.
Allton: You called, my friends?
Lissandra: Rob, did you throw in the towel in the Sub-Zero match, last night?
Allton: Well, while I don't agree that you should have worn that costume - and neither did Hood by the sounds of it - in the match, no. No I didn't. You're grown adults. You make your own decisions.

~Veronica sits with her entourage of Roxxie G and Marcy The Head Mistress on the Strader Private Jet. The women stand behind Veronica rubbing her shoulders, the OCW TransAtlantic Championship fastened around her waist. ~
Veronica: So we have a Christmas party to attend, how... quaint.
Roxxie G: That mean presents for us?
Marcy: As long as the drinks are flowing.
~Veronica looks up to the right and left at her girls and they give her a small nod
Veronica: Ok, sounds like my girls want to party so you can count us in. Of course whatever Marcus needs.
~The scene fades to the OCW logo after catching the sneer on Veronica's face~

~Still mid-air...Welsh enjoys an extravagant Bloody Mary while Greg is applying a therapeutic 'mask' to the OCW GM's face. Cheasy sits by, combing his mustache. His phone rings~
Cheasy M: Cheasy here, GO.
~He nods, listening~
Cheasy M: Oh...okay...uh, hold on.
~Suddenly anxious, he stands and leaves the audio range of Marcus...he stuffs himself inside the bathroom, plugging one ear to block out the jet noise~
Cheasy M: What's the deal?
~Cheasy nods~
Cheasy M: Yea, I know there's controversy over who threw in the towel. We've confirmed it wasn't Lissandra. And we're sure it wasn't Lord Allton. But it's got to be someone...I've got confirmation from tenured, trusted employees that someone authorized Dylan's removal.
~More nodding~
Cheasy M: I don't know. Could have been a staff member...could have been someone impersonating a staff member or trusted family or friend. It's a total mystery right now.
~Additional nodding combined with a look of high anxiety~
Cheasy M: No way. Not after the night he had. I am NOT bringing this up with the boss. You want to tell Mr. Welsh about the towel controversy?
~The voice on the other end goes silent~
Cheasy M: Yea, I didn't think so. We'll be back in Key West in a few hours. If you have any other updates, text me.
~Cheasy hangs up and emerges from the bathroom~
Marcus Welsh: Everything alright?
Cheasy M: Canadian food, am I right? Hope TLS didn't slip me some of that moose meat.

~Welsh has the full mask on. Cucumbers over his eyes. Greg seems to be relaxed. Everyone else sits on eggshells. So much fallout from Death March that Welsh has yet to learn about. A text rings out. The employees jump. Leo reaches for his phone~
Leo: Oh. Sir, it sounds like Veronica and her entourage are a go for the Christmas Party.
~Welsh smiles~
Marcus Welsh: Lovely. Today's been better than expected.
~The employees cast each other a side 'oh boy' glance as we cut away~
: Zybala walks past an advertisement for Poblano's Car Repair or whatever the fuck it is. He pours some gas on it and lights the sumbitch on fire. He continues on his merry way. He passes by the locker room of Veronica and her gang. He nods in acknowledgement at the ladies. Zybala has no problem with them not does he wish to set them on fire. He continues walking, looking for more Poblano stuff to burn. :

Dylan: Hey, man.... tough break last night. All the Family were rooting for you. Look I won't keep you, I just.....someone threw in the towel last night during the Sub Zero match on my behalf. I didn't have a choice but to leave.... It wasn't Lissie or Rob...... I'm just wondering could you help find out who? I know it couldn't have been you because you had a match to prepare for.

Zybala: I'll do my best. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Duce to help Brim. That group likes to get involved in each others matches. I'll see what I can find. It's a good thing I have a blowtorch with me. That should loosen a few tongues.
