The scene opens up in the far reaches of the GHW arena in a locker room owned by the “Horrorland Hellion”. The space is unlike any other locker room in the building and it gives off a feeling more like a den or hideout rather than a changing space. The room is strewn with a number of odd objects, mainly consisting of Goosebumps and wrestling memorabilia.
Dotted around the walls are various photos of Skull hang out with various Fighty fighty persons including Emblem, Hyper Elf, Black Dragon & Hawkeye and a more recent photo with AJ Scally and Matt Violence of the Justice System. In each of these pictures he is outside the arena and without his usual gothic ring gear he could be anybody that you pass in the street.
The main focus of the room is a large display case, standing next to an antique looking cuckoo clock, which is full of many of the aforementioned items. The top shelf of the case is taken up by a full collection of Goosebumps books but below this sit the crown jewel of his collection; the SCW Power Core Championship of which he was the last holder. Below this a menagerie of yet more weird objects are stored including grotesque looking masks and bottles mark ‘Monster Blood’, ‘Vampire Breath’ and Werewolf Sweat’. The bottom shelf is completed by a wooden ventriloquist’s dummy lying face down in the dust. The only empty space in the case is an empty box beside the head of the dummy which would normally house the necklace of shrunken heads.
The man himself sits on a standard changing bench along the wall in full ring gear. He sits there for a few seconds, twiddling his thumbs until there is a knock on the door and Charlie Coors shuffles into the ring accompanied by a cameraman. He sits down on the bench beside The Pureblood then gets the signal from the cameraman to begin.
“Thank you for having me here, Skull. I’ve got a lot to ask you this time so I thought a sitdown interview would be more appropriate.”
“No problem. You don’t mind if I bring a friend along do you?”
Coors looks slightly confused as Skull’s odd request but he agrees anyway and Skull reaches into the display case and takes out the dummy. Charlie continues to eye him suspiciously but Skull is oblivious to this as he places the dummy on his knee then looks up at the interviewer.
“This is Slappy, a good friend of mine.”
“Ok, um. Hi, Slappy.”
“Fuck you, Coors.”
“Slappy, no. That was very rude. Don’t talk to Mr Coors like that.”
“That’s funny. I didn’t know you were a ventriloquist.”
“Ventriloquist, this idiot? He can’t even tie his own shoes. I’m the brains of this operation.”
“Well, anyway, moving on. I’ve got a lot to ask you today, SCW, The Hardcore Games and The Psychotic Circus to name just a few. First of all, the H-Games. In the second round you had the opportunity of a lifetime when you had the chance to win the KOTDM title from the Walkers. What are your opinions on that match and do you have any words for the Roadkill brothers?”
“I’ll be honest with you, I went into that match and I only had one thing in mind, getting my hands on Jaggeroth. I barely spared a thought for James Walker. Only when I faced not with Jaggeroth but with Shawn Dreamer and two Walkers. It thought it was a fluke when they beat Hayden, I thought it was just the numbers game that lead to their win. Well I was wrong, James is a skilled competitor and most importantly he’s devious. He knows his brother is always going to be there to help him out of any sticky spot he get himself in but he can still hold his own, after all he pinned Dreamer in our match and Matt last week.
Any words for them? Yeah I’ve got a few. I was gonna let Hayden deal with you two but after you stole my necklace you made it personal. You think that my wins are yours now just because you beat me? You think my legacy is yours? I am a GHW hall of famer and you are just two cocky upstarts that need slapping down.”
“Slapping down? They need more than that. You hold onto that necklace tightly Tommy because the next time I see you, I’m gonna rip your eyeballs out with my bare teeth then shove them up your brother’s ass so you can watch as Skull kicks the shit out of him!”
“Yes, thanks for that Slappy. What he said. Or alternatively, how about a match? Me and Hayden vs the Walker brothers. Or based on recent events, maybe Matt and I vs the Walkers. I’ll leave it up to Vorty to make the call. But don’t think this is over Roadkill."
“Ok, so you have some new enemies in the form of Roadkill but what about your old enemies, The Psychotic Circus?”
“With Matt and I focusing on the Hardcore Games this month we put our tag title hunt on the back burner but now that we’ve both been eliminated it is once again our number one priority. If Chris and whoever he gets to team with him retains this Sunday then The Justice System will be gunning for him. The Circus are fractured, wounded. If we beat them now and take their titles it will be the final nail in the coffin. They will be broken beyond repair. Even Jaggeroth’s return wouldn’t be able to resurrect them. It doesn’t matter who takes the belts from them, Matt and I, Matt and AJ or Me and AJ. The Circus will fall at the hands of the Justice System.”
“Where the hell is that freak Jaggeroth anyway? Probably lying face down in a pool of this own cum and vomit. That pussy ran from us in the Hardcore Games. He knew he was gonna face Skull’s wrath for that beatdown so he turned tail and ran like a little bitch. If I ever get my hands on him I’ll...”
“Slappy! Where did you learn to be so foul mouthed? If you keep this up I’ll have to put you back in your box again.”
“You put me back in that box and I’ll box you, dummy. It’ll make Jag’s beatdown look like a sack full of kittens.”
“Um, Skull?”
“Oh, sorry. Did you have something else to ask us?”
“Make it quick dick-breath.”
“I just have to ask you. SCW. What an earth is going on? Last time I asked you, you thought it was Hawkeye who was behind all of these messages but then we saw Hawkeye being attacked by that masked maniac. Do you have any idea who this man is and what do you think of the latest flashback about GHW being in financial trouble many years ago?”
“Whoever this man is, he is telling a very skewed and one sided tale. It’s true that GHW almost went out of business in its early day and if it wasn’t for the merger with SCW it probably would’ve gone out of business, but this guy thinks GHW owes SCW its life. The truth is, SCW was dying too. You saw how violent that guy is, that is how things were in SCW. That was the SCW spirit, we’d go out there every show and almost kill ourselves for the fans. No expense was spared. It took a toll on our bodies and on SCW’s bank balance. SCW’s founders knew how to put on a show but not how to run a business. If it wasn’t for the stability that GHW provided us with then we would’ve driven ourselves into the ground. The fact is, GHW and SCW fused together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, two dying feds that became one strong fed. The fact is, without one, the other can’t survive. SCW tried to break away from GHW before. It was called EVPW and although it lasted for a while it eventually died and everyone came home. GHW and SCW can’t live without eachother. SCW is the other half of GHW’s whole. Maybe that’s the message this guy is trying to spread. Maybe he just want all these new guys to learn their history.”
“And what about his identity. If not Hawkeye, maybe he’s another former SCW Fighty fighty person?”
“No. every member of there SCW roster has the utmost respect for Hawkeye. Nobody from SCW would do that to him. Besides, Hawkeye may be retired but he’s a fighter. Nobody I know could inflict that much damage on Hawkeye. Except maybe Hawkeye.”
“Then who is it?”
“Who knows? Maybe some crazy fan that used to watch SCW on TV and is upset that it doesn’t even get a mention on TNT. Maybe it’s Slappy.”
The dummy raises one of its eyebrows and Skull gives half a smile in its direction before turning back to a spooked looking Charlie Coors.
“Y-you?”
“You don’t think it’s little old me do you?”
“I-I...”
Without any further ado, Coors abandons the interview and makes a hasty exit, leaving Skull and his new friend rolling around in fits of silent laughter.
