24/7 Hardcore Title

[TC Jagger]

Jagger walks out of the bathroom at the McDonalds and sees Varitek lying on the ground with the Hardcore Title missing. He grabs Varitek and tosses him over his shoulder, bringing him out to the car. Jagger tosses Varitek in the back seat with Cobain. They pull out of the McDonalds parking lot and Jagger begins to search for the sign of whoever attacked Lee.

Jagger: Come on...Where are y...BINGO!

Jagger spots Jack Gaither's truck. He follows the truck all the way to Six Flags.

--------------------

After a day at Six Flags, Gaither and Sam sit in the front row of the Batman show. During the show, Batman appears high up in the stands as he prepares to take a zip-line down to the outdoor arena. He jumps and begins to descend but lets go before he makes it into the arena, landing right in front of Jack. The fans begin to clap at this acrobatic move.

Batman: Having a good day?

Just then, Batman stikes Gaither in the face with a big right hand. He pulls Gaither out of his seat and tosses him over the railing, into the arena. The fans begin to scream as Batman takes the Batarang from his belt and uses it to knock Gaither out cold. Batman then removes his mask, revealing that it is indeed TC Jagger.

Jagger: It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

Jagger looks down at the fallen Gaither.

Jagger: And I just kicked your ass.

Jagger goes for the cover

TC Jagger is the new Hardcore Champion

[goldeneagle]

*Jagger is enjoying himself at Six Flags when he hears a clown's voice luring him to one of the skill games.*

CLOWN VOICE: All right! Step right up and see if you can make the bell ring! Hey there! Wanna try your luck?

*Jagger walks on over to the game booth and pays the clown, who gives him a large mallet.*

Here, I'll let you have a practice swing!

*Jagger takes his practice swing, but the bell doesn't ring.*

Awww, that's OK; just hit it a little harder. Here, let me show you how it's done.

*Instead of hitting the little target, the clown takes a healthy swing and strikes Jagger in the head with the large mallet, knocking him out cold. The clown takes off his mask--to reveal the familiar head of Jack Gaither!*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Looks like the joke's on you Mr. Jagger! Batman just got his ass kicked tonight by a clown--awww, what a shame!

*Jack "The Golden Eagle" Gaither covers TC Jagger...*

[TC Jagger]

Jagger Kicks Out!!!

Gaither drags him to his feet but Jagger grabs Gaither by the head and slams him face-first into the metal target of the mallet game. Jagger staggers to his feet, grabs the title, and begins to head out of the park. Jagger catches the shuttle to the parking lot and quickly finds his car. He looks behind him to see if he can find any sign of Gaither chasing after him; nothing. Jagger starts his car and pulls out, speeding out of the park.

Jagger: I need to get somewhere where there's more coverage.

Jagger shakes his head at the thought.

Jagger: New York City, here I come.

-----------------------

OOC: Anyone catch the Batman Begins quote in my last post? Or am I the only nerd here?

[goldeneagle]

*Jack and Sam catch the parking lot shuttle to try and find Jagger, but there's no sign of Jagger's car.*

DAMMIT! He's gone!

SAM: I have a hunch...

What's wrong?

What's the last place on the planet that Jagger might try and visit?

Lemme see...YES! New York City!

Well, let's get our asses to Logan and catch a flight to New York City!

*Jack and Sam hop into their rental truck and take it back to the rental place--located at Boston's Logan Airport. They buy two one-way tickets to New York City's JFK Airport. A few hours later, the couple find themselves in New York City; Jack makes a reservation for two at a nice hotel in Manhattan.*

Let's see. Where are we gonna go now?

Let's go watch the Yankees!

*Jack and Sam take a subway over to the Bronx and head to historic Yankee Stadium. They buy their tickets, but soon realize that they don't have a plan until Sam comes up with something.*

Why don't we dress up as beer vendors?

Sure!

*Jack and Sam sneak into an employee dressing room area and put on vendor attire. The two "vendors" grab trays--that are full of cups of beer--and head into the outfield bleacher section, the home of the Bleacher Creatures. The long-time PA announcer Bob Sheppard calls the next batter's name.*

BOB SHEPPARD: Batting 3rd...the shortstop...number two...Derek Jeter!

BLEACHER CREATURES: DE-REK JE-TER! (clap clap, clap-clap-clap!) DE-REK JE-TER! (clap clap, clap-clap-clap!)

*Jack and Sam roam the aisle of the bleacher section, hawking out their wares.*

COLD BEER! GET YOUR COLD BEER! WE GOT BUD, MILLER, COORS, WE HAVE EVERYTHING! GET YOUR BEER WHILE IT'S NICE AND COLD!

*A hand raises up--the hand of TC Jagger. Jack and Sam head over to Jagger's seat.*

Hi; what can I get you tonight?

*Jagger orders a Budweiser; Jack and Sam look at each other, and then...*

**THWACK-THWACK-THWACK!**

*Jack and Sam smash Jagger over the head repeatedly with their trays at the same time! The couple take off their "vendor" shirts to reveal--Boston Red Sox jerseys! The Bleacher Creatures are pissed and start to throw beer cups at Jack and Sam.*

BOSTON SUCKS! BOSTON SUCKS! BOSTON SUCKS!

*Despite the madness going on in the bleachers, Jack "The Golden Eagle" Gaither makes the cover on TC Jagger.*

[TC Jagger]

Jagger kicks out again.

He tosses Gaither down a few rows and begins to make his way out of the stadium. He is able to escape without Gaither following him as a crowd of dirty, beer stained, Yankees fans prevent Gaither from following him.

Jagger: Good call wearing those jerseys guys.

Jagger exits the stadium and looks around.

Jagger: God Damn, Fisrt I punish myself and sit through 6 innings of terrible Yankee baseball, then Gaither jumps me. I gotta find somewhere better to hang out.

Jagger turns and heads down the street. He waves down a cab and gets inside. The Indian driver turns to Jagger.

Driver: Where to my friend?

Jagger: Anywhere, just get me outta here.

[goldeneagle]

*Jack and Sam fight their way through the Bleacher Creatures and make their way out of the stadium. They hail a cab that's sitting outside--Cab #7N78--and hop in. A familiar-looking celebrity cab driver turns around and begins to speak.*

DRIVER: How are you tonight?

We're doing well.

Could you tell me about yourselves?

Sure. I'm Jack Gaither, and this is my girlfriend Samantha Teague.

SAM: Call me Sam.

Jack Gaither and Sam Teague; what do you guys do for a living?

I wrestle for the Authentic Wrestling Gods, and she's my new manager.

BEN: WOW! You guys are into rasslin' huh? Well, I have some news for you. My name's Ben Bailey and you two are gonna play a game of Cash Cab!

*Lights in the cab begin to flash; Jack and Sam are shocked to find that they're gonna be on Cash Cab.*

WOW! This is incredible!

I'm happy you approve. Anyways, where y'all headed to tonight?

*Just then, Jack notices TC Jagger's cab--#1G12--out of the corner of his eye, pulling away.*

Follow cab #1G12!

OK, let's see...that cab is going to Roberto's Italian Restaurant. You wanna go there?

Sure!

All right! Now, I have to advise you of the rules first. I'm going to ask you a series of questions; the first set is worth $50, the second set is worth $100, and the third set is worth $200. Answer three questions incorrectly, it's game over--and you don't win a thing; since there are two of you in the cab, I will allow you to alternate answering questions. However, I can't take any detours or shorter routes. Do you want to use this cab to get to Roberto's or do you want to leave now and hire another cab?

Let's win us some money!

That's the spirit! All right, here we go!

*Jagger's cab begins to pull away, and Gaither's cab follows it to Roberto's.*

OK, we're 10 blocks away from your destination; here's the first question, it's worth $50. In the Harry Potter series, what is the name of the school that Harry Potter attends?

Hogwarts.

That's right! You just won $50 right off the bat. Next question, and it's also for $50. Name the stadium that played host to WrestleMania III.

Pontiac Silverdome.

Good! You just won another $50; you're up to $100 and have no strikes. You can use a Shout-Out if you get stuck on a question; you have a mobile and a street Shout-Out at your disposal. OK, we are 7 blocks away from your destination; so the next questions are worth $100, but they're a little bit harder. Who is the only pitcher in MLB history to pitch seven no-hitters in his career?

Nolan Ryan!

GREAT! That's another $100, and you're up to $200. This next question is also worth $100. Which U.S. President had the shortest term of office in history?

*Jack and Sam look sheepishly at each other, then...*

William H. Harrison?

You guys need to get out more...because you're right! That's another $100, and you're up to $300! All right, we're just three blocks away, so the next questions are now worth $200, but I warn you, it gets more difficult from here. Who scored the 2nd highest point total in any NBA game?

Kobe Bryant!

You guys have done your homework! That's $200, and we have arrived at Roberto's! You've won $500; do you want to risk your $500 and try to answer the Video Bonus question, or do you want to quit? If you get the Video Bonus question wrong, you don't win anything.

Let's keep the money!

Good choice! Congratulations to Jack Gaither and Samantha Teague on winning $500! Thanks for playing Cash Cab!

*Jack and Sam happily walk away from the Cash Cab and give the "cash" back to the producer's truck, but they're happy that AWG will be represented on national cable TV. They stroll into Roberto's and see Jagger sitting at a table. Jack and Sam sit down and order themselves a pizza and some beer. Jack walks away from the table and goes to the men's room. Suddenly, Sam gets worried about Jack and asks Jagger to go to the men's room to check up on Jack. Jagger obliges and goes to check on Jack in the men's room; just as he enters, Jack sneaks up from behind Jagger and...*

**THWACK!**

*Jack hits Jagger in the back of the head with a tray repeatedly. Jack picks up Jagger and slams a stall door into Jagger's head; he then proceeds to give Jagger a classic "swirly"--and repeated right hands to the face, knocking Jagger out cold. Jack doesn't hesitate and gives Jagger a Samba Slam right on the tile floor. A grinning Jack "The Golden Eagle" Gaither goes for the cover on TC Jagger...*

[goldeneagle]

Sam, let's get out of here!

Wow Jack! We won $500 in Cash Cab, and now you've got the Hardcore title belt back! Let's go back to our hotel; our food's in to-go boxes already!

*Jack and Sam bring their food--as well as the AWG Hardcore Title belt--and hop into a waiting cab; the driver turns to them and says...*

DRIVER: Where to my friends?

Our hotel: The Plaza Hotel, Manhattan!

Hold on!

*The sounds of "Bohemian Rhapsody* blare from the stereo speakers as the cab speeds off and heads toward the iconic Plaza Hotel. Once there, Jack and Sam pay the fare and rush to their hotel room, where they lock the security latches on their doors and close all curtains. God knows what might happen next...*

[Pierce Cavanaugh]

-Gaither is in bed with Sam both looking scantily clothed. Gaither grabs a small container of a carbonated beverage. He opens the top and grabs a glass, but then realizes the lack of ice.

Jack: Honey, I'll be right back. I'm just going to grab some ice.

-Gaither exits the front door, wearing only a pair of tropical themed boxer shorts. He tip-toes down the ice machine where he fills up his bucket. He turns to walk back to his room and gets clocked by a stop sign. Confused about what has happened and where the street sign has come from, Gaither attempts to stumble back to his feet. Once he reaches his feet, Pierce grabs him by the head and hits Can't Touch This. Gaither falls to the ground.

Pierce: Long Live UJD!

-Pierce covers

Your new AWG Hardcore Champion, Pierce Cavanaugh!!!

[Pierce Cavanaugh]

-After grabbing the title from the room, to which Sam was rather confused, Pierce rushes out of the hotel. He hops in a cab and yells to the driver....

Pierce: Douglas, Mass!

-The car flies out of control out the parking lot. It flies down country roads into Massachusetts and then into the small town. Pierce gets the town limit and gets out. He throws the sum of money to the driver and then takes off on foot. Reaching a bar he smiles. He enters the bar and lays it down. The bartender looks at the title on the bar and gives a confused grin.

Pierce: It's not mine anymore. It's for one person and anyone who is brave enough to claim it from the man who I designate it too.

-Pierce walks out the door. The wooden sign above the door read's Digger's Pub.

OOC: Digger's Pub is an actual place in Douglas.

[Dollar McDougal]

As Cavanaugh walks out, we can see two men stand up from a corner table. As they walk into focus, we can recognize the two men as AWG superstar Dollar McDougal and his limo driver, Miguel. They walk up to the bar, where Dollar stares down at the Hardcore Title and smiles.

Dollar McDougal - I see I wasn't the only one who decided to pay homage to Digger by coming here.

McDougal looks back out the window to see Cavanaugh passing by and walking down the sidewalk, away from the bar.

Dollar McDougal - Pierce, Diggs, and I...man, is there history there.

He turns his head to the bartender and begins to speak to him.

Dollar McDougal - We started this whole thing, you know. Us and Jag. We were the original Gods. Nobody could stand up to us, and look...we built it into a bonafied empire.

The bartender smiles politely back, handing McDougal and Miguel two glasses of club soda, which they had apparently previously ordered.

Dollar McDougal - AWG's on hard times right now, bud. I'm not gonna lie. Losing Jace Diggs - regardless of who he thought he was at the end of his AWG run - that's gonna be tough.

He looks down at the Hardcore Title, picks it up, and holds it in his hands.

Dollar McDougal - But you know what? We will survive. The AWG is bigger than any one of us. It is bigger than Jace Diggs. Bigger than Pierce Cavanaugh. Hell, I hate to say this, and I'll deny it if you tell another living soul...but it's bigger than Dollar McDougal.

McDougal takes a swig of his club soda.

Miguel - Si.

Dollar puts down his glass and sort of looks at Miguel begrudgingly.

Dollar McDougal - Regardless...I think Cavanaugh was on to something here. And for God's sake, I'm going to make damn sure this belt stays where it's at until the man it's meant for returns to claim it!

McDougal hands the belt to the bartender, who takes it, hesitantly.

Dollar McDougal - You heard that guy. This belt belongs to "Untouchable" Jace Diggs.

He snaps his fingers without looking back, and suddenly eight very large men in suits walk up behind him, as if they had been hanging around in the shadows of the bar the whole time.

Dollar McDougal - And these men, whose services have been paid for by myself, will be here to protect it until he arrives. Is that clear?

The bartender looks at the menacing individuals in front of him, then at McDougal, and lastly at Miguel, who, in a sheepish demeaner, nods very quickly to try to urge the man on. The bartender then looks back at Dollar again.

Bartender - You've got it. I'll put it right back here behind the bar. Just tell your friends to keep the destruction at a minimum, got it?

McDougal looks around at his giant entourage before readdressing the man at the bar.

Dollar McDougal - Don't worry; I'll pay for any damages. Hell, I've already got one bill from a Bull and Finch place or something that I've never even been to! Might as well add this to it.

The bartender places the championship belt behind the bar as McDougal turns and heads for the door, with Miguel in tow. However, right before walking out, he stops, thinks, and speaks to Miguel.

Dollar McDougal - You better stay here, too. So you can call me in case anything crazy happens. Got it?

Miguel nods.

Miguel - Si, Mr. McDougal.

Dollar pats Miguel on the shoulder, nods his head at the bartender, then at the group of large men, who take seats back at barstools, and turns and walks out the door.

Dollar McDougal (mumbling) - You better hurry up and get back.

["Untouchable" Jace Diggs]

(The door to the bar opens and none other then "Untouchable" Jace Diggs is standing there, wearing regular civilian clothes. All of the men in the room stand gasping as they didn't think he would actually show up.)

"Untouchable" Jace Diggs: What? It's like you haven't seen me before.

(Diggs walks over to the bar as everyone backs away and sits down on the stool. Upon sitting down the bartender immediately hands Jace a cold beer and then slides the Hardcore Championship over to him.)

Bartender: I was told this belt belongs to you now. Ain't nobody takin it away from ya...not if these fellas have anything to say about it.

(Diggs looks down at the belt and a tear starts to form in the corner of his eye.)

Jace Diggs: Let me guess...must have been Jagger? Or Pierce or even Dollar?

(The bartender just nods.)

Diggs: I'd love to take this belt....but...I just can't.

(A tear runs down Jace's cheek.)

Diggs: So I'll tell you what. Anyone that's man enough to come here to get it, deserves it...under one condition...

Bartender: And what might that be?

(A grin crosses Jace's face.)

Diggs: I'll stand here holding the belt and they gotta lay me out. Just once more for old times sake. And I hope they make it a good one.

(Jace pounds his beer and grabs the title off of the counter before standing up. He's fully smiling now and he faces the door....)

[Rob DiPietro]

A shadow appears at the doorway as a familiar voice is heard.

Voice: Is that who I think it is?

Walking into the bar is Rob DiPietro as Jace Diggs has a shocked look on his face. Jace then smirks as he looks a Rob.

Rob: What is it?

Jace looks up and smiles.

Jace: It’s only fitting that you would be the one to answer my challenge. It’s only fitting that you are going to be the one to take me out.

Rob who now looks confused.

Rob: What in the hell are you talking about? I heard there was a pub named the Digger’s Pub but I never thought it was yours?

Jace: It’s not what you think; this bar has nothing to do with me, just a fitting place as ever to retire.

Rob: Retire? You can’t be serious?

Jace who has a surprised looks on his face.

Jace: I figured you would be happy I am retiring, I did kidnap you wife and make you life a living hell for months.

Rob: Yes you did, but it was the best and worst months of my life.

Jace: What!!

Rob smiles.

Rob: It’s true, Jace you pushed me past my limit to places I never thought possible. You have made me a better overall person, not just because of your ruthless acts, but your wrestling ability. I have to say as rivalries go you are on par if not better then my feud with Rage.

A single tear falls from Jace’s eye as he wipes it away quickly.

Jace: I never knew you thought of me that way, I thought you hated me after what I did to you.

Rob: Oh don’t get me wrong Jace, I do indeed hate you with every fiber of my body. But I do have respect for you ability; you are an ass hole but a respected ass hole in my eyes.

Jace holds the title up on his shoulder.

Jace: So are we going to do this? For old times sake, Jace and
Rob one last time.

Rob nods his head.

Rob: If you have to go out, I might as well be the one to do it.

Jace: I couldn’t think of a better opponent.

Rob and Jace let out a wild scream as the bartender hides behind the counter. Jace and Rob run at each other both throwing lefts and rights. Jace pushes Rob into the jukebox as Carmina Burana plays. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xCB6-h3wbs

Rob and Jace both hold on to each other spinning around throwing each other into tables, chairs and even the bar counter.
Jace: You know what Rob, this is the most fun I had in a long time.

Rob: Likewise, but it has to end, are you ready?

Jace: As ready as I’ll ever be.

Rob kicks Jaces in the gut setting up the Final Cut but Jace counters it and delivers a You Can’t Touch this to Rob.

Jace stands over Rob smiling.

Jace: did you honestly think I would allow you defeat me? How ignorant do you think I am? I am “The Untouchable” Jace Diggs and you can’t touch this.

Jace begins to walk away as Rob is regaining his composure as he speaks softly.

Rob: I will retire you.

Jace turns around as Rob is slowly getting up.

Jace: What?

Rob: I said I will retire you.

Jace’s eyes open wide as he speaks and throws a punch as Rob.

Jace: In your dreams!!!

Rob blocks the punch and delivers the Final Cut as Jace falls though a table

Rob stands over Jace.

Rob: The Untouchable is about to be touched.

Rob covers Jace.
