recapping Revo

(Promo opens on Corey Casey sitting in the library in the House of the Lord. Corey sits in a black leather chair behind an oaken desk. Behind him tower large bookshelves filled with thousands of books. In front of Corey a cameraman is preparing the satellite uplink stuff for the live Revolution broadcast. The plan was coming together perfectly…everyone thought he had left NLWF for good. Steven Angel had gotten into contact with Carmine and Frank Hart and Corey had welcomed them into The New Dawn with open arms.

Corey looks down at his left ring finger, smiling at the ring that sits there. It is a silver ring with red rubies set into the silver band. Megan had picked it out for him as his wedding band…and he absolutely loved it.

The cameraman walks behind the camera and begins to give Corey the countdown to live feed. Corey slides the wedding band off of his finger, placing it gently in the breast pocket of his robes. The world wasn’t ready to know of the power marriage of the century…not yet at least. The cameraman gives Corey the go signal and Corey stares into the TV behind the cameraman…only to see Tommy and Aaron arguing)

Corey Casey
Are you gentlemen done playing with each other? I have shit to do if you want to continue to squabble like little girls

(Tommy has a look of guilt on his face. Aaron just stares with cold and emotionless eyes at the screen)

Aaron O’Shea
The best thing you did was leave NLWF Casey

(Corey has to restrain himself from snapping back at O’Shea…or hysterically laughing. Instead, he manages to sadly smile into the camera)

Corey Casey
I couldn’t agree more Aaron

(Corey tries so hard not to laugh at the idiotic expression of surprise on the faces of Tommy and Aaron. As if he could leave NLWF now…especially not since he had recruited new members for the New Dawn and he had yet to even up with that self-righteous Nick Ridicule)

Tommy
You agree that leaving NLWF was the best thing that you could have done?

(Corey sadly shakes his head, his dreadlocks masking his smile)

Corey Casey
I have failed not only myself…but Salvation. I failed time and again to obtain the World Heavyweight Title…failed to liberate it from the notorious pot head…

Aaron O’Shea
Don’t you mean the Notoriously Unstoppable KID?

(Corey has to swallow down a feeling of disgust. His loss at Dangerous by Design had shaken him to his very core. But it had not broken him as much as he was showing…he would be World Champion again…even if it meant destroying everyone and everything in his path)

Corey Casey
Whatever…the point is KID didn’t beat me. I beat me…and I failed myself, Megan O’Day, and all of Salvation.

Tommy
Is there any chance whatsoever of you returning to NLWF?

(Corey just looks at the ground, a crushed look of defeat on his face. His long black and blonde dreadlocks fall down and hide his face. As soon as his dreadlocks fall down and cover his face, a wicked smile crosses his face. He would be back in NLWF…he would be back and shake NLWF to its very foundation)

Corey Casey
I just don’t have it in me anymore…

(The cameraman signals that the satellite feed has been cut off. Corey throws his dreadlocks out of his face, laughing hysterically. He walks up to the camera and pushes the cameraman out of the way. He grabs the camera and holds it up to his face)

Corey Casey
…I just don’t have it in me anymore to sit back and watch as NLWF is overrun with these addicts, these self righteous egotistical maniacs, and these reject clowns! The New Dawn will cleanse NLWF! We will bring the light back to this lost company! We will fix what these sexual deviants like Chuck Matthews and Havoc did to NLWF!

(Corey throws the camera against the wall. The camera explodes into a thousand pieces of glass and metal. Corey reaches into his breast pocket, removing his wedding band and sliding it onto his finger. He had to go to Seattle and help to lead the rising of the New Dawn.

Corey walks past the cameraman who is picking himself up to his feet. The cameraman looks down at the destroyed camera lying in a thousand pieces on the floor. He goes over to the destroyed camera and picks up some of the pieces. He turns and shoots Corey a dirty look)

Cameraman
Hey that is property of NLWF you just…

(Corey pauses, his hand on the door knob. He slowly half-turns his head, only one cold all white eye is visible to the cameraman who is intimidated into silence. A wicked smile crosses Corey’s face)

Corey Casey
That’s what I thought…

(Corey opens the door and walks out into the hallway. He smiles as he sees Megan sitting on the couch watching the Revolution broadcast. Corey walks into the living room and bends down, lightly kissing her on the cheek. Megan smiles and puts the TV on mute. On the screen, Jason Hawk is decimating Ryan Apollos. Corey watches for a moment, his grip on the back of the couch tightening when he sees Nick Ridicule’s face on the screen)

Megan Casey
You looked so sad during your interview…

(Corey looked deep into Megan’s eyes…goddamn he was the luckiest guy alive to have married her. He gave her a smile)

Corey Casey
All part of the plan to make everyone think I have gone from the NLWF for good…it will make my glorious return tonight even more legendary…

(Megan suddenly gives Corey a confused look)

Megan Casey
You are making your return tonight?

(Corey laughs)

Corey Casey
Yes my love…tonight is the night that the New Dawn rises up once more. Tonight is the night that the New Dawn becomes more powerful than we ever could have imagined. Tonight is the night that the New Dawn etches its place in history!

(Megan suddenly jumps off the couch and kisses Corey deeply and passionately. After kissing for a few moments Megan pulls back, a flirty smile on her face. Corey opens his eyes and a dumb smile crosses his face)

Corey Casey
Holy shit…that was amazing…what was that for?

(It is Megan’s turn to let out a playful laugh)

Megan Casey
You get so riled up when you talk about the New Dawn. It’s sexy to hear you talk about something so passionately. I hope you talk about me like that…

(Corey pulls her in for another kiss. After a second he breaks it and looks into her eyes)

Corey Casey
You can bet your ass I do.

(Corey leans down and places his hand on Megan’s stomach. Megan runs her hand through Corey’s dreadlocks as a big smile crosses Corey’s face as the baby kicks against his hand. Corey looks up into Megan’s eyes, a proud smile on his face)

Corey Casey
He will be a strong fighter when he is born…willing and able to lead Salvation into the New Dawn. Under my training he will be unstoppable…

(Megan smiles and makes a shooing motion with her hand towards the door)

Megan Casey
Alright…I need to get some sleep. Go and kick some ass baby

(Corey pulls himself to his feet and kisses Megan good bye)

Corey Casey
Blood will flow like water by the end of the night…mark my words gorgeous.

(Megan sits down on the couch as Corey turns and walks out the front door. He closes the door behind him and stands on his front stairs. He takes a deep breath, breathing in the cold crisp air that is whipping through the streets of the City of Salvation. Tonight was going to be a historic night indeed. Corey focuses on the Original NLWF Arena in Seattle Washington. He feels the familiar jolt run through his body, seemingly shaking his bones to the very core, as a lightning bolt falls out of a clear night sky and strikes Corey Casey. When the smoke and dust settles it is as if no one had been standing in the street at all. The cold night air blows through the street undisturbed…there is no sign of a lightning bolt striking there at all)

Monday
January 4
2010
9:50pm

(A massive bolt of lightning falls from the night sky outside the original NLWF arena. Several fans standing outside the parking garage shield their eyes from the flying debris and dirt that gets kicked up by the lightning bolt. When the smoke and debris finally settles the fans turn and see a hooded and cloaked figure dressed in black robes. One fan stares at the figure for a moment before declaring)

Fan
That’s Corey Casey!

(The fan and several others suddenly rush Corey, who just calmly stands still. The fans get within five feet of Corey before they are suddenly thrown backwards onto their asses. A wicked smile crosses Corey’s face as he calmly walks forward through the crowd of fans. He passes by the fan that identified him and held out his hand to help the fan up. The fan reaches up and grabs Corey’s hand)

Fan
That was weird…thanks man I appreciate the…

(The fan suddenly begins screaming. He collapses to his knees as Corey tightens his grasp on the fan’s hand, his wicked smile spreading wider. Corey suddenly lets go of the fans hand. The fan looks down at his hand, seeing a cross branded into his palm Corey begins to walk off towards the arena)

Corey Casey
How’s that for an autograph?

(Corey walks through the parking garage, laughing at a few members of the NLWF staff that see him and stare at him as he walks past. Corey hears rumors racing up and down the hallway as he makes his way towards the entrance ramp)

“What is he doing here?” “I thought that he quit?”

(Corey ignores the whispering staff members…they would all soon know his status in NLWF. They would all cower at his feet as well after tonight. Corey makes his way through the backstage area and up through the gorilla position. He watches the monitor, watching for Steven to motion for his master to join him inside the steel cage to punish the non-believers.

Corey watches as Steven Angel rolls out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, along with the NLWF and World titles. Steven then makes a sweeping gesture towards the entrance ramp. Corey laughs as his music hits and the lights in the arena turn red. Corey walks out from behind the curtain and stands on the stage. He looks out over the crowd and takes in the destruction ensuing inside the ring. He smiles as he sees the steel cage being lowered from above…the perfect way to trap the enemies of the New Dawn like the rats they were.

Corey makes his way down the ramp, his hood obscuring his face from view. He climbs the ring steps and enters the ring just as the steel cage finishes lowering. As soon as he enters the ring he looks around, acknowledging the other members of the New Dawn.

Nick Ridicule climbs to his feet, attracting the attention of Corey Casey. A fanatical smile washes over Corey’s face as he runs over and grabs the back of Nick’s head, slamming Nick’s face into the steel cage. Corey stands, allowing Carmine and Frank Hart to deliver a beating to Nick Ridicule. The two pull him to his feet…only for Frank Hart to level Nick with the NLWF championship. Corey leans down and picks up Nick Ridicule, sending him flying back to Frank Hart who levels Nick again with his own title.

Carmine and Frank Hart turn their attention to Nick as Corey turns and spots the lifeless body of the Notorious KID. His evil smile widens as he sees KID lying face down on the mat. Now was the time to strike, the time to destroy this lucky fucking drug addict once and for all. Corey walks over and grabs KID with the death clutch. Corey cocks back and delivers a stiff punch to KID’s head, busting him open. The sight of this unworthy champion bleeding drives Corey into a frenzied state of delirium. Corey unloads several more punches and then throws KID like a javelin into the steel cage. Corey then spots his World Title lying in the middle of the ring. Corey walks over and picks his title up, cradling it in his arms.

Steven lifts KID up, motioning for his master to bash the face of the Notorious KID in. Corey gets a running start and levels KID with the World title. Corey then turns to Steven Angel, demanding that his Dark Apprentice lift the unworthy KID to his feet. Corey turns and gives Nick Ridicule a wicked smile as he lays the World Title flat on the mat. Corey then grabs the Notorious Drug Addict from Steven Angel and picks him up, leveling KID with a Purifier onto the World Title.

Steven Angel then turns and begins to place the ankle of KID in the steel chair. Suddenly, Jason Hawk pulls himself to his feet. Corey sees Hawk stand and runs over and spears Hawk to the ground. Corey pulls himself to his feet, looking down at the broken body of Jason Hawk)

Corey Casey
You picked the wrong side Hawk…

(Corey turns and sees that Steven Angel has placed KID’s ankle inside the steel chair. Steven looks at his master, making several frantic stomping motions on the chair. Corey turns and looks at Nick Ridicule who is struggling to break free. Corey calmly walks past KID’s lifeless body and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Corey looks over at Nick, making sure that Ridicule can see what is about to happen to his precious drug addicted friend. Corey jumps off the top rope, crashing down on the chair and KID’s trapped ankle. The sound of KID screaming only fuels Corey’s delirium.

Corey is celebrating destroying KID when he turns around and sees that Nick Ridicule has escaped the clutches of Carmine and Hart. Corey immediately jumps from the top turnbuckle and climbs the cage. He makes it up and over the top and drops to the floor. Corey grabs Frank Hart and helps him up the ramp. When the two turn around there is a coffin at the top of the ramp. Corey and Hart look at the coffin as Corey takes a few steps closer to the ominous object. The coffin’s lid suddenly opens…revealing Brenton Cyrus! Corey feels his eyes go wide, unable to control the shock of seeing his former God raised from the dead. Corey manages to see Hart dive off the stage and flee to the back…Corey made a mental note to have a chat with Hart later about that.

Corey turns and does the first thing his brain can think of…he runs back to the ring and the steel cage. He climbs back into the cage and, distracted by the pursuing form of Brenton Cyrus, runs right into the big boot of Nick Ridicule. Corey hears the roar of the crowd as Brenton Cyrus enters the ring…he hears the chants from the unwashed masses…)

“KICK HIS HEAD OFF!” “KICK HIS HEAD OFF!” “KICK HIS HEAD OFF!”

(Was this how his legend to end? Was the night of the New Dawn to end with their former God returning from the dead and destroying the New Dawn’s leader? Corey groggily pulls himself to his hands and knees…expecting to feel the boot of Brenton Cyrus connecting with his skull.

After a moment Corey looks over and smiles at what he sees. Steven Angel has tripped up Brenton Cyrus…allowing his master enough time to escape. Corey crawls out of the ring, falling unceremoniously to the ground. He spots a microphone and grabs it. Corey then remembers…he hadn’t even shared the good news with Brenton and Nick yet…Corey begins to hysterically laugh)

Corey Casey
Surprise, surprise. Another dead guy comes back to life…
(The cage begins its slow ascension to the rafters above. Corey continues to fanatically laugh)

Corey Casey
I don’t care that you are back. Because things have changed…I’m not like you Brenton, I know who the enemy is…and I have no problems putting an end to them. I…

(Corey stares daggers at Brenton as he begins to snore into the microphone and lays down in the ring…pretending to sleep. The fanatical smile doesn’t fade off of Corey’s face though. He had the ace in the hole…he possessed the key that would lead to the destruction of Brenton Cyrus)

Brenton Cyrus
Believe me Corey Casey, if I wanted to fall asleep listening to you I would have stayed home and watched Revolution on TV. But that’s not the case. You need to be stopped, and I am going to make sure that happens. The best…is back!

(Corey laughs and claps his hands. Brenton truly had no idea how powerful he had become…)

Corey Casey
This is wonderful news! You can be the first to congratulate me!

Brenton Cyrus
Congratulate you on what?

(Corey simply motions to the titantron. The clip of his wedding to Megan Casey begins to play. Corey doesn’t watch the video…why should he? He had lived it. Instead, he stared down at the ring…at the crushed face of Brenton Cyrus and the shocked face of Nick Ridicule. As the clip comes to a close Corey begins to laugh anew)

Corey Casey
Megan Carissa Casey! My wife!

(Corey drops his microphone, holding his arms out to either side in his crucifix pose. He is still laughing fanatically. Corey looks down to the ring and screams at Brenton)

Corey Casey
You should have just stayed dead Brenton!

(Corey poses for a few moments before he turns and goes backstage. He is greeted by Carmine and Frank Hart. Corey turns and gives Hart a cold look)

Corey Casey
You are to wait until Brenton and Nick vacate the ring…then I want you to go and get Steven. Carmine and I will meet you two back to the City. We have a party to attend gentlemen. Tonight, the City of Salvation celebrates the marriage of it’s Lord!

(Hart nods his head in compliance. Corey wraps his arm around Carmine. The two walk off in the direction of the parking garage. The two men walk past a TV which is broadcasting the end of Revolution. Corey and Carmine pause and look at the confused and hurt faces of Brenton and Nick. Corey laughs as he hears Tommy yell)

Tommy Cornell
Does that mean that Corey Casey owns half the NLWF? We’re out of time…see you next week!

(Corey turns and looks at Carmine, who also has a big smile on his face)

Corey Casey
Damn it is good to be back

(Promo fades to black)

The Match
I am glad that you are going to actually show up for this match and try to put up a fight against me Chuck…in fact, if you were to just roll over and quit I gotta say I would be highly disappointed in you.

-Thanks for showing up to receive your ass whoopin’ Chuck-

Now, if we look back at my track record against Chuck Matthews…it definitely does not show favorable numbers. Chuck Matthews seemingly has Corey Casey’s number when it comes down to it…well Chuck; things have changed slightly this time. You see, I went out and brought two Chuck Matthews specialists into the New Dawn…Carmine and Frank Hart.

-The tables have turned Chuck-

This is almost sad to me…to hear you talking about throwing in the towel and maybe calling it quits all together. I’m not sad about losing Chuck Matthews…I would be sad if you took your ball and went home before I had a chance to send you home in a body bag. You sit here and you talk about your joint pain, your daughter getting engaged…you think you are the only one who has family shit going on Chuck? My wife is about to give birth to the Savior of Salvation and yet here I am…still willing to bring the fight each and every night.

-It’s actually rather funny to me-

You sit here and you say that one by one your family has “died out.” Chuck…the reason that your family has “died out” is because you fucking killed them. Don’t sit here and try to get us to feel bad for you about your family leaving you…we all know you were the one that forced them to “die out.” The only family you have left is under the wing of Salvation…how is that for a kick in the nuts Chuck?

-There is one thing we agree on though Chuck-

We can both agree that we would have still been great without Brenton Cyrus. Yeah Brenton showed me the light of Salvation and yeah he took me under his wing…but guess what? I still would have thrived even without him being there and guiding me…I still would have risen to the top of this fucking business, even without the hand of “God” guiding me there.

-It seems that fate his weaved our paths together yet again Chuck-

You and I go one on one just a week after I married Megan…which really puts a new spin on things wouldn’t you agree? It’s almost like we are family now Chuck…does that mean that your little “Dynasty” now has to extend an offer to me? Granted I would turn it down faster than Carmine is going to destroy Dave Zombie this week but still…it’s hilarious to think that we could possibly end up under the same roof for holidays. Just imagine it…it’s Christmas dinner and everyone is gathered in the O’Day household. Chuck Matthews and Kimberly O’Day sit on one side of the table and across from them? Across from them sit Corey Casey and Megan Casey. Tell me that’s not a fucking epic image right there.

-You might not have a plan…but I do-

I have learned that when you are fighting against the self proclaimed “smartest man in NLWF” you always need to have a plan…and a backup plan for that first plan. You can be damn sure that I am thinking this match all the way through, finding the flaws in my game plan and tightening them up. With Carmine and Frank Hart giving me insight into the mind of Chuck Matthews…I can’t possibly lose.

-You say let the tournament begin…I say let the bloodbath begin-

So it was written…so it shall come to pass…Quoth the Lord…
