A faint sound emanates as the EUW cameras initiate their automated function, introducing us to another edition of Saturday Night Vengeance. In what has become a usual fashion, we end up focusing in on the duo of Mark Rivera and his secretary, Melissa.
"And I want the third and fourth floor of the Vengeance Dome to be cleared and have all the backstage workers converse there. What's the second floor for, again?"
"Uh….Merchandise, sir."
"Okay then I want the fourth and fifth floor cleared up and I want the third floor to be for the Wrestlers exclusively. I'm sick of always have to move through this endless traffic of backstage workers. Speaking about that, why do we have so many of them? What are we, building a pyramid or something?"
"No sir" replies Melissa as both Rivera and she make their way down the hallways, colliding with the numerous incoming traffic of backstage workers. "Their functions seem to fluctuate from important to expendable."
"Well then fire the expendable and tell the significant ones to multi-task. God knows how much we pay them here and it's not so we can turn the inside of the Vengeance Dome into the visual equivalent of New York City."
"Yes sir. Also, construction on that private office you ordered has been completed. The one where Ellis held his Council Meetings. It's been reconstructed to harbor a more smaller group."
"Good. Speaking about that, has our big package arrived tonight?"
Melissa looks on confused for a second before suddenly picking up on Rivera's signal and taking out her phone. Rivera himself collides with a young staff worker and proceeds to stare him down for a second or two before scoffing and moving forward with his insatiable secretary. She seems to be on the phone, obtaining confirmation on something, which ends up with a huge smile on her face.
"Sir, he has just been picked up from the airport and is being sent here."
Rivera too smiles and before he can bark another order at his secretary, Dante Holly emerges from out of the endless traffic. With his cape hanging swiftly from his shoulders, Holly proceeds to navigate and flow in-between the cluster of nameless staff workers until he reaches behind Rivera and his secretary. Rivera immediately senses him and quietly sighs.
"What madness is this, oh Rivera?" shrieks Holly as everyone in the area, except Rivera, find themselves completely taken aback by Holly's sudden emergence. Rivera's secretary seems to have dropped her clipboard and as such bends over to take it. Holly ends up staring at her rear as she bends over.
"Oh my stars and garters" whispers Dante as Rivera stands beside him and shares his view of Melissa's now bent-over bottom. After a second of tempoarary visual and sexual pleasure, Rivera turns to the mesmerized Holly. "You wanted something, Holly?"
"Yes!" yells Holly again, startling everyone except Rivera again. "I come with a need to know the madness behind my bout with the valiant and honorable Toby Hunter. We had an agreement that my quest for justice would be aided rather than discouraged."
"And it is being aided, Dante." replies Rivera with conviction and an artificial smile. "You see Dante, Toby is not anywhere near valiant or honorable. Do you know he hangs out with very bad people who do very bad things?"
"Do not speak to me like I'm a breast-suckling infant, Rivera!" replies Holly while oddly striking a superhero pose. Rivera sighs and shakes his head before refocusing his attention to Dante.
"Ok, let me put it this way for you. Toby Hunter has been known to exist congruently with members of the infamous Devil's Due biker club whose activities range from serious crimes such as extortion and assault to simply being old men in leather jackets. Bad guys hang out in gangs, Dante, and Toby is definitely one of them which is why I booked the match between you and him. You have to bring him and his evil down, Dante, and you have to restore justice to EUW!"
Dante stares at Rivera with bewilderment as he rubs his chin confoundedly.
“Very well, Rivera. I will not anything hinder me from my quest for justice. Toby Hunter’s evilness will go down!”
And with that final statement, Dante raises his right hand and charges away. Rivera and Melissa shake their heads before making their way down the busy hallways again.
“I want a psychological evaluation of that Holly boy. Give him the next week off, Melissa.”
“What for, sir? I don’t think we need a shrink to tell us Dante is..uh…”
“Crazy, yes, I know that and I intend to use that as leverage. If I cannot use the boy for my own good then why keep him around here. He’s a broken toy, my broken toy, and if I cannot put it to good use then I shall discard it and the guaranteed failure in the psychological evaluation will be my excuse. Have the same therapist who diagnosed Sabora diagnose the boy and tell him to keep the results secret. I want them sent to my office discreetly. Now without further ado, it seems we’re on in a couple of seconds. I need to be in my office alone, has the mini-bar been filled?”
“Yes sir”
“Perfect…because tonight is going to be a very momentous episode of Saturday Night Vengeance.” declares Rivera as the in-door lights are scheduled to go on in ten seconds. The entire crowd seems to be counting back from ten and, surely enough, the lights blare on at approximately the final second. The automated cameras spring downwards from their gloomy hiding place in the ceiling and begin circling around the inwards of the Vengeance Dome.
The cameras finally settle on JJ and Creep, attired in their tuxedo and cameo pants respectively. JJ adjusts his bow ties while Creep grabs his own crotch and takes another drink from his can of beer. The difference in vision may be alarming but their union together immediately kicks into high gear as they kickstart their announcing duties.
JJ: Ladies and gentlemen…..Welcome to Saturday Night Vengeance! This is JJ….
Creep: ….and this is Creep! And we’ve got one hell of an announcement to share with all of you. The main event of Retribution, which will be held on June 12th, has been announced as Chris Sabora versus Toby Hunter for the World Title!
JJ: And what a shocking announcement it is. Sabora has originally failed his psychological evaluation test but it seems he has been brought back to duty and even given a world title shot. Do you think Rivera has anything to do with this, Creepy?
Creep: The GM always has his hands dipped in any business concerning the EUW superstars, Double J. Furthemore, Sabora seems to have his hands full as he takes on TITAN tonight in the main event while Toby Hunter is in the opener against none other than Dante Holly. And that is your cue, Johnny!
The cameras immediately spin around and visually assault the standing John Walt. The entire over-the-top camera coordination seems to be evident as they furiously circle around the erect John Walt. After a couple of circles, one of the camera backs off and settles on a constant image of Walt.
John Walt: Ladies and gentleman, the following non title contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit.
As the opening of “Four Minutes” begins to play the camera shifts to outside and a big D is in the air. Out of nowhere from the light cast by the D appears a man who looks at the camera and breaks into a sprint into the arena. As the intro of the song finishes the man reaches the top of the stage and poses, with his fists to his hips, his chest puffed out and his cape hanging behind him as the crowd pops, their hero having arrived. He struts down to the ring still holding the pose until he gets to the steps. He climbs the steps and the turnbuckles to the top rope before stopping and leaping off, “flying” through the air. It looks like he is going to crash and burn but he does a front roll as he hit’s the ground and emerges on his feet, one hand in front of him, and one behind his cape.
John Walt: Hailing from Hollywood, California. Dante Holly!!!
JJ: I really don’t know what to say about Dante Holly, especially after what we saw moments ago and last week with Mark Rivera.
The Creep: Dante doesn’t even know what he’s fighting and that’s half the charm. Look at the kid JJ, in all your life have you seen a smile that big?
JJ: I don’t know if I can say I have.
The Creep and JJ are interrupted as the lights dim down and the deep bass sounds of a large engine can be heard as the crowd stands to their feet, automatically knowing who is about to come out next. The camera pans from left to right now, showcasing a select group of fans as they raise their fists and stare at the entrance way..
"Rain" by Creed now begins to play..
John Walt: Hailing from San Rafael, California. He is the EUW World Champion.. Toby HUNTER!
With the fans screaming at a fever pitch, Toby Hunter steps through the darkness. He is dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt finished off with a black leather vest. With his long blonde hair combed back, he stares at the ring confidently. The camera then begins to zoom in on Toby as he slowly walks towards the rampway. The EUW World Title rests buckled, hanging around his neck like some sort of necklace.
Once at the top of the rampway, Toby slowly raises one closed fist, nodding from left to right as the fans return the gesture. He then adjusts his vest and walks towards the ring. The theme song now hits it's chorus.
Rolling under the bottom rope now, Toby rises to his feet and circles the ring, one closed fist held high in the air. As the arena lights shine brightly against the metal of his EUW Championship, Toby heads to a corner of the ring, leaning against it casually and rubbing his nose. A referee then approaches him as he offers up the title belt. With a nod, Toby signals that he is ready to begin.
JJ: I guess you could say Toby is at the exact opposite end of the spectrum from Dante, he seems entirely focused on the match.
The Creep: You’d think he’d have to be, relegated to opening the show. Even the popcorn guy hasn’t started yet.
JJ: But we are, here we go folks.
With that, Dante and Toby look at each other, the world champion showing an almost piteous look. Dante however, stares across at the perceived ruffian with the utmost focus, that is until he spies the motorcycle out of the corner of his eye. Before Toby can get him, Dante ducks out of the ring and goes right towards the bike, inspecting it, putting his eye right up against the exhaust pipe. Satisfied, he turns and looks at Hunter, steamed that Dante is touching his bike but managing to keep his cool, before calling out to him.
Dante: How does this evil device work?
Hunter stares at Danty, the referee not bothering to count as he looks on with a stifled grin. Dante paces around once more before pausing in thought before jumping onto the bike and pulling on the throttle as it roars to life, standing in place with the break still on but nevertheless giving Dante quite the scare as he throws himself off of it. Hunter however finally loses it of sorts, ducking out of the ring and throwing Dante into the ring before following him in. Dante backs away on his hands and ass, not from Toby, but the motorbike as his eyes are bulging out from behind his mask.
Dante: It’s alive!
Hunter slowly follows before Dante hit’s the ropes and with nowhere to go, tries to run out the other side but Hunter won’t let him, grabbing hold of him by the back of his trousers and pulling him right back into the ring before throwing him across into the ropes. Dante holds on as Toby looks for a big back body drop but out of the corner of his eye, spies the motorbike and runs right into Toby who scores with the unconventional move.
JJ: Toby uses that motorbike for intimidation before the match but I guess against Dante it works during.
The Creep: It’s the pollutants from that thing, have you seen the smog in Los Angeles and those bikes are a prime contributor.
JJ: Since when did you become an environmentalist.
The Creep: Ever since that time in Vegas where we…
JJ: Forget I asked.
Back in the ring, Holly is up to his feet as Toby looks on and this time the two tie up properly, Dante initiating the exchange despite the massive size disparity. As would be expected, Toby wins the exchange and pushes Holly into the far ropes, before flinging him across the ring right towards the motorbike. As expected, Dante freaks, stopping himself right before he hit’s the ropes and turning around and running right back at Toby who knocks him down with a clothesline and makes the cover.

Dante kicks out, forcing the match to continue.
The Creep: Ah, there’s the popcorn guy.
JJ: We should be focused on the match.
The Creep: What match? This is like a movie, Superheroes, villains, it’s like I’m a little Creep all over again.
Dante gets to his feet and looks at Toby, who steps aside allowing Dante to get a good view of the bike.
Dante: I will make you pay for the invention of that evil device Toby.
With that, Dante charges at Toby and knocks him back slightly with a few blows, eventually stunning him with a shot right to the solar plexus. Dante then ducks out of the ring, waiting for Toby to straighten up before launching himself over the top rope towards Hunter and scoring with a slingshot cross body. Hunter hit’s the mat as Dante lands across him in a pinning hold.

Hunter turns his head away from Holly and makes a “revving” noise as Dante throws himself up of Hunter, breaking the fall as he looks at the motorbike.
JJ: Ingenious move there by Toby Hunter.
The Creep: He’s done quite well for himself as of late, always being one step ahead and knowing what buttons to push.
Hunter gets to his feet as Dante has tentatively walked over to the motorbike and is examining it. Hunter again makes the “revving” noise as Holly turns around right into the big boot from Toby, who covers.

Dante kicks out but barely as Toby looks down, knowing full well that the time has come, he rolls to his feet and waits for Dante to get up, fun and games aside there’s a match to win. Once Dante gets their he stumbles right into Hunter who simply throws him into a front facelock before scoring with the TFT, powering Dante down to the canvas.
JJ: It’s over.
The Creep: Yep!
Toby doesn’t even bother hooking the leg, just covers the young Holly with a lateral press.

The bell rings mercifully as Toby rolls to his feet and the referee in charge of the action raises his hand.
John Walt: Ladies and gentleman, your winner by pinfall. Toby Hunter.
There’s a cheer from the crowd as Rain by Creed begins to play, Hunter looks down at Holly and shakes his head before trying to help him up. Dante accepts the gesture until he realizes who it is.
Dante: Unhand me, evil doer.
Toby looks at Dante and shakes his head before ducking out of the ring as Dante stands alone inside. Dante yells “CURSE THE PHAROAH” before slamming his fists into the mat and shaking his fist at what seems to be something invisible. The cameras cut to a commercial break.
