MAINSTREAM WRESTLING IS LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES AND WE’RE INSIDE THE CRYPTO.COM ARENA. HOME OF THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS FOR MAINSTREAM 84: ZERO HOUR!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to Mainstream 84…ZERO HOUR! We’ve got a night of action packed wrestling but we’re going to kick off tonight’s festivities with Mainstream Hall of Famer and former World Heavyweight Champion, Eli Buchanan!
BACKSTAGE...
“You know, I had this big speech planned out.”
Eli Buchanan sits on a chair in the centre of his locker room, staring at something in his locker,
ELI BUCHANAN: I was going to bad mouth Jason Cashe for the punk ass coward I know him to, jumping me when my back was turned and then running off before I could properly kick his. You know what though, screw Cashe. I’m going to say the same thing I said to James Edwards when he tucked tail and ran off shortly after I first joined his company, you show up again I’ll be waiting to kick your ass right back out the door.
“Now on to someone who’s actually important around here, Billy Danielson. Billy, I don’t like you, but there’s not a single person I respect more in this company than you. You are everything that you say you are. You are “Mr Seattle Pro”, you are “Mr Mainstream”, you are the franchise of this company.”
He takes a moment to consider his next words before continuing.
ELI BUCHANAN: You’ve also been one of the biggest pains in my ass. Not a lot of people remember this, but I was tasked into trying to turn around a dying wrestling company a few years back and I was forced to put all my personal feelings aside to try to get along with the roster. Billy, you were a member of that roster and along with a couple others, you did your absolute damnest to make my life a living hell. I’d like to say that since that company died, I’ve managed to move on with my life, but I’ve never been afraid to admit that I’m a petty man. I’ve managed to deal with the others who crossed me, one way or the other, now it’s finally your turn.
He starts laughing and ends up shaking his head.
ELI BUCHANAN: But this is more than just revenge to me. As I’ve moved on in my life to pursue other interests, I find it harder and harder to get excited about any singular match. I have faced off with nearly every dream opponent I’ve ever had, one on one inside the squared circle. There’s a couple of them here in Mainstream, and at the top of that list is one man: Billy “F’N” Danielson!
“From conversations we’ve had away from the ring, it’s clear that we kept tabs on one another for years, checking out what each other was doing. Hell, we both were even members of the same faction, if not at the same time. ‘Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.’”
He holds up his hands and “Too Sweet”s himself.
ELI BUCHANAN: And yet somehow this dream match has never really be able to happen, You and I have faced off in tag team matches and multiple person scrambles, but you and I have only faced off one-on-one once and that pot smoking, chicken shit inbreed ruined it!
He stands and kicks the chair away, screaming out in frustration. Charlie steps in and whispers something to calm him down. Eli nods and turns back to the camera.
ELI BUCHANAN: Tonight, Billy, there’s no Jason Cashe to mess things up for us. There’s no factions involved, if management is wise they’ll keep their noses out of this. There’s just going to be you and me, one-on-one in that ring, and the best man is going to win.
Eli reaches into his locker and pulls out a picture and stares at it for a moment.
ELI BUCHANAN: Billy, this match means everything to me right now, but it also means I finally close a chapter in my life and am able to move on. I made a promise to a friend that I’d try to live up to the example he left me. I plan to keep that promise.
He lays the picture down on his bag and speaks into the camera on last time.
ELI BUCHANAN: Billy, I’ll see you in the ring.
The scene faded back to ringside with McKayla and Charles.
CHARLES HUDSON: He makes a good point Lou! With no distraction now from Jason Cashe it’s one on one!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: We’ve been looking forward to a definitive collision course for these two men for sometime now!
CHARLES HUDSON: Billy Danielson always has a trick up his sleeve but everyone else pales in comparison to the former leader of the Immortal Atrocities.
MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eli Buchanan will take on Billy Danielson later tonight! But when we return from our first commercial break we’ll see the most dangerous man in all of Mainstream Wrestling, Robert Zodiac face off against Emerald City Squire trainee Dionne Miller!
