After the press conference with the Sports Nutz, it was time for Gordon Heath to meet up with APW Overdrive Champion, Shaun Kilgore. Gordie didn't have to go too far as he met up with Shaun at a local Starbucks. After purchasing a ham sandwich and green tea, Gordie walked over to the table that Shaun was sitting at, chowing down on a brownie and also drinking a green tea.
GORDIE
So how did lunch go with your parents today?
SHAUN KILGORE
It was good. Met them at the Mexican Inn over in Fort Worth.
GORDIE
I'm jealous. I love Mexican food.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh yeah. Had cheese enchiladas, and the tortillas and their own brand of chips were as good as always.
GORDIE
Do they know you dumped Shelley, yet?
SHAUN KILGORE
Whoa, that's a bit of a harsh way to put it, don't you think?
GORDIE
Well, you haven't been returning her calls lately, and you haven't called her in awhile.
SHAUN KILGORE
Well, in all fairness, she had become the proverbial anvil that was holding my wrestling career down. Not to mention that I recently found out she had been cheating on me...
GORDIE
Whoa! What?!
SHAUN KILGORE
Well, I made the mistake of looking past that tag match and focusing a bit more on the upcoming Overdrive Championship match that Bryan Payne and I will have at Shockwave on Sunday. However, I won't be making that same mistake come this Sunday.
GORDIE
And just remember, as the champion, you actually have the advantage. You don't necessarily have to beat Payne. He has to beat you by pinfall or submission in order to become Overdrive Champion. Any other outcome, and you hold onto your Overdrive Championship.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh yeah, definitely. But I would love nothing more than to beat him myself to shut up all the asshats who say I don't deserve this belt and that I won it on a fluke.
"Ecstasy Of Gold" by Ennio Morricone can be heard playing, sounding a bit muffled as it seems to be coming from Gordie's pocket. He takes out his iPhone(turns out that "Ecstasy Of Gold" is his ringtone) and takes the incoming call.
GORDIE
Hello?... Oh, hey Danny, what's up?... Well, I have some previous engagements that will keep me from making the show this Thursday, but Shaun might be able to make it... OK, I'll tell him to call you back... Alright, later.
A bit of curiosity seems to surface on Shaun's face as Gordie hangs up his iPhone, putting it back into his pocket.
SHAUN KILGORE
Who was that?
GORDIE
That was Danny Balis, producer of the Hardline Show.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh yeah. I'm guessing they want me on the show?
GORDIE
Yep. Thursday, they're going to be out at the Village Country Club over in Dallas for their annual Ticket Fight Night, and they thought they'd have a pro wrestler out for their event as they remembered that you were a local guy getting ready for a big nationally televised PPV this coming Sunday.
SHAUN KILGORE
Makes sense to me. I'll give Danny a call now while I'm thinking about it.
Shaun proceeded to give Danny a call to book the appearance at Ticket Fight Night.
==AUGUST 26, 2010, 4:37 PM==
Corona Ticket Fight Night was upon us as the Hardline was broadcasting their show from the event before it got underway at the Village Country Club in Dallas, Texas. Shaun was already seated with Mike Rhyner and Corby Davidson, ready to go on the air with them.
MIKE RHYNER
4:37 here on Sportsradio 1310, the Ticket. This is the Hardline, Mike Rhyner along with Corby Davidson. And we are here at the Village Country Club in Dallas, Texas for Corona Ticket Fight Night. Joining us now is someone who's partaking in a fight night of his own this coming Sunday night. From right here in the Metroplex, Colleyville to be exact, he is "The Showstopper" Shaun Kilgore. Welcome to the show, Shaun.
SHAUN KILGORE
It's a pleasure to be here.
CORBY DAVIDSON
OK, first off, I tried holding that championship belt of Shaun's during the break... Oh my God, that thing was so heavy that I almost fell to the ground!
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh come on, it wasn't THAT heavy now, was it?
CORBY DAVIDSON
Well it was to me.
MIKE RHYNER
Well you're not exactly a gym rat like Shaun is, either.
CORBY DAVIDSON
Good point.
MIKE RHYNER
Alright, Shaun, if you don't mind, guide us through what you're up to this coming Sunday night.
SHAUN KILGORE
Well, Sunday night, live and only on PPV, I will be defending this belt that almost sunk the Cobra all the way through the hole in the earth that leads to China, otherwise known as the APW Overdrive Championship, against Bryan Payne.
MIKE RHYNER
Now from what I've been told, Bryan Payne already has a win over you.
SHAUN KILGORE
That he does, in a worthless tag team match that didn't mean a damn thing.
CORBY DAVIDSON
Worthless tag team match? I thought a wrestler's goal was to try to win every match he's in.
SHAUN KILGORE
Well it is. But at the same time, there were no titles on the line in this tag match. It wasn't going to move anybody up or down the championship ladder. So as a result, I got a bit complacent and didn't put as much effort into that match as I should have. And believe me, my trainers, the Sports Nutz, got all over my ass about my lack of effort after the match.
MIKE RHYNER
Now something funny to point out about your trainers is that their names are George Dunpork and Craig "Senior" Mueller. Not only are their names very similar to the names of a couple of guys on this station, George Dunham and Craig "Junior" Miller, but they look a lot like them too.
CORBY DAVIDSON
And Shaun's manager, "The Excellent Gordie" Gordon Heath, has the same resemblance to our very own Gordon Keith.
SHAUN KILGORE
Well, Dunham, Miller and Gordo were talking about family genealogy this morning, so who knows. We may just find out that the Musers are related to the Sports Nutz.
CORBY DAVIDSON
That would be so hilarious if that turned out to be the case. We'd have to give the Sports Nutz their own show at that point, wouldn't we?
SHAUN KILGORE
You probably would.
MIKE RHYNER
Now, for you P1s out there right now, you might be wondering why we would entertain the thought of having Shaun on the show here this evening after an incident that occurred up at the Mothership when he and the Sports Nutz attacked former host of the Ticket Top 10, Chris House. Well, to be honest, P1s, Chris House wasn't exactly part of our subculture, if you get our drift. Plus, we wanted to allow Shaun to give his side of the story. So Shaun, if you don't mind, please.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh man, this going back a few months here. From what I recall, Gordie, George, Craig and I were going to be on at the station, but Chris House did everything in his power to keep us from going on. So we took matters into our own hands.
MIKE RHYNER
What's that, Danny?... Oh, Grubes has the audio from that night?... Well, let's give it a listen, shall we?

Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket
Dallas, TX
Chris House, the host for the Ticket Top 10 heard Monday through Friday nights on Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket, was stuck up at the studios as the usual night time board operator(board op for short) called in sick. So even though his shift of replaying the best bits heard on the Ticket throughout the day was over, he was the only one available that could run the boards and answer the phones if for whatever reason some drunk person wanted to call as nobody was listening to the Ticket at this time of night. A noise is heard at the door of the Ticket's control room, startling Chris as nobody comes up to the studios at this time of night. He turns around, but before he can do anything...
BAM!!!

A noise is heard at the door of the Ticket's control room, startling Chris as nobody comes up to the studios at this time of night. He turns around, but before he can do anything...
BAM!!!
The force of a running big boot from Shaun Kilgore knocks Chris House out his chair, down on the floor, out cold. Shaun takes over Chris' seat inside the Ticket's control room, putting on the headsets and trying to figure out how to work the touch screen computer that operates the Ticket's audio board. Meanwhile, "The Excellent Gordie" Gordon Heath, George Dunpork, and Craig "Senior" Mueller take their seats in the main studio of 1310 the Ticket.
SHAUN KILGORE
Hmmmm... "Ecstasy of Gold" doesn't seem to be in the Enco here for some reason.
GORDIE
Oh just pick anything, Shaun. We're not that picky.
CRAIG MUELLER
Actually, could it be something by either the Backstreet Boys or Demi Lovato?
Everyone looks over at Craig as if to say "WTF?"
CRAIG MUELLER
What?! It's just music.
Everyone shakes their heads and roll their eyes, going on as if Craig never made such a rather odd suggestion from a 39 year old man.
DUNPORK
Hey, Shaun. See if there's anything by KISS in there.
SHAUN KILGORE
I thought you hated KISS.
DUNPORK
No, that's George Dunham that hates KISS. Me? I've been a KISS supporter ever since I was a toddler when my dad painted my face like Gene Simmons for Halloween.
SHAUN KILGORE
Ah, I see... Oh, here we go. "Kiss."
Shaun touches the screen, but it's apparent he didn't bother to read all of what he was selecting said as all of a sudden, over the Ticket airwaves we hear Dallas Mavericks sideline reporter Chris Arnold saying "Kissing a guy, is real easy." George and Gordie cock their eyes up, wondering what the hell they just heard. Craig is grinning from ear to ear, trying to keep himself from giggling. Shaun is pursing his lips and looking up at the guys through the window that divides the studio and the control room(they're able to talk to each other via the headsets they wear). Shaun has that look on his face as if to say "OK, that wasn't supposed to happen." Shaun goes to try and press another button on the touch screen, and this time we hear Ticket radio personality Norm Hitzges saying "NO! NO! NEVER! NEVER!"
GORDIE
What the hell is going on in there?!
SHAUN KILGORE
I don't know! Just start talking or something!
GORDIE
Alright... Uh, hey everyone, this is Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket, and no, you're not hearing things. You're not going crazy. This is indeed "The Excellent Gordie" Gordon Heath, despite what that ditzy ring announcer for APW tells you. What's her name again? Ah, doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm joined by George Dunpork and Craig "Senior" Mueller, otherwise known as the Sports Nutz. And running the boards for us is our protege, "The Showstopper" Shaun Kilgore, who is a perfect 1-0 and has quickly risen up in the APW Top 15 Most Wanted. Altogether, we are known as the Greatness, and with good reason. Everywhere I take the Sports Nutz, they win championship gold. Then you take Shaun Kilgore, someone who the Sports Nutz trained personally, and he has become the star he is today. But that's not what we're here to talk about tonight. Tonight, we're here to talk about a big match that George and Craig will be having this coming Thursday night on APW Overdrive, live from the Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho at 8 PM Central Time.
CRAIG MUELLER
The Taco Bell Arena?!
GORDIE
Hey, I didn't build that dump. Anyway, George and Craig, you're going up against two members of the Red Shield Mafia... JR Kingston and Diamante Valentine.
DUNPORK
OK, you know how many stables and tag teams that use words like "Mafia" or something odd like that? They think they're sounding intimidating when in truth, they sound so bush-league. Are these clowns even real athletes?!
CRAIG MUELLER
I highly doubt it, judging by the videos and online bios I've seen of them when scouting them the other day. Let's take a look, for instance, at JR Kingston. On his APW bio, it says that his wrestling styles vary from "brawler" to "hardcore" to my two "favorite"... "Strong Style" and "MMA!"
DUNPORK
Hahaha! That strong style fad is still around?! "Oh look! I'm great because I'm STRONG STYLE!" No, you're just not very athletic because you have to resort to brawling.
GORDIE
Now George, some people may accuse you of not being athletic considering your size.
DUNPORK
Yeah, and I'd direct their attention to guys such as Warren Sapp, Nate Newton, and Mark Stepnoski, to name a few, who made it in the NFL as great defensive and/or offensive linemen. Some of the best offensive linemen that knew how to protect the quarterback were men of size, and there have been men of size who knew how to get around the offense and get to the quarterback. Then there's me. I don't focus on my weaknesses, such as lack of speed and quickness when wrestling. I focus on my strengths, such as power, aggression, and technical wrestling know-how, to win matches.
CRAIG MUELLER
Now let's take a look at this Diamante Valentine fellow. He claims to be a ladies man. Well let's look out that window! What do you see? Thousands of wrestlers who have claimed to be ladies men. Hey, Diamante, this isn't about how many women you can bag in one week. This is about how many championships you can put on your resume. And here's something that doesn't make sense. When looking at his APW profile, it says his favorite weapon of choice is a barbed wire bat, and his favorite kind of matches are deathmatches. Seriously? I swear, do they just let ANYBODY into professional wrestling nowadays?
DUNPORK
Well, companies have allowed Jay Leno, Dennis Rodman, and David Arquette into the ring.
CRAIG MUELLER(sarcasm)
Yeah, that worked out really well!
GORDIE
I think the point you're trying to make here, guys, is that you are in every way superior to JR Kingston and Diamante Valentine when you two face off against them this Thursday night on Overdrive.
DUNPORK
Oh yeah, we'll pull off that win, no doubt. And how come APW doesn't have any tag team championship belts?
CRAIG MUELLER
Maybe we could just declare ourselves the APW Tag Team Champions.
GORDIE
Yeah, but we'd have to clear that with Biggs first.
CRAIG MUELLER
Yeah, that's true.
All of a sudden, we hear the burst of the doors to both the studio and the control room being open as security barges in, scaring Gordon Heath and the Sports Nutz out of their chairs, and Shaun Kilgore out of his. The security guards, who look to be mall cops at best, are chasing all four guys around, with everyone bumping into each other over and over again. Chris House, who's been out the whole time, finally gets to his feet, only to be knocked over by accident by one of the rent-a-cops. Gordie, George, Craig and Shaun make a break for it and are able to run down through the hallways, getting away from the rent-a-cops as they lose pursuit of the Greatness, with the rent-a-cops slowing down, gasping for breath and doubling over before collapsing to the ground.[/quote]
MIKE RHYNER
Wow... most explosive.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh man, I'll never forget that. Taking over the Ticket airwaves for a night. Good times!
CORBY DAVIDSON
I have to be honest, I can't help but die laughing every time I hear that audio.
SHAUN KILGORE
Yeah, that was pretty funny looking back on it. But something that is not funny is what's going down this Sunday night at APW Shockwave. Bryan Payne thinks that just because he's a former APW World Heavyweight Champion, and just because he pinned me in a meaningless tag team match, that he's going to walk all over me and take the APW Overdrive Championship. Well, I have news for him. The chances of that happening are about the same as the chances of Rocco Pendola ever being allowed to come back to the Ticket. What we did to Chris House and those rent-a-cops at the station a few months ago will pale in comparison to what I have in store for Bryan Payne.
CORBY DAVIDSON
I hear through the grapevine that several of your fellow APW wrestlers are picking Bryan Payne to win this match, Shaun.
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh yeah, I've heard all about it. Some of them say I'm not at Bryan Payne's level, that I'm out of his league. Others say that I've come a long way and have done very well as of late, but they just can't see me beating Bryan Payne. Well I'm going to prove each and every single one of those parasites in the back wrong this coming Sunday night and remain APW Overdrive Champion.
MIKE RHYNER
Well, Shaun, we hate to let you go, but they're telling me back over at the station that we have to go early so that we can get in E-News before the Fight Night festivities get underway.
SHAUN KILGORE
No problem. It's been a...
CORBY DAVIDSON
Uhh, Mike, Shaun... Grubes is telling me in my headset that there's someone on the line that wants to talk to you, Shaun.
SHAUN KILGORE
Ah, my fans must be listening. Put this person on.
FEMALE CALLER
You sorry son of a bitch! You promised to go with me to visit my dad in East Texas and that you wouldn't put APW before me!
MIKE RHYNER
Whoa! Sounds like scene control issues, buddy!
SHAUN KILGORE
Why the hell is this bitch on the line?!
Given the circumstances and the female's voice, it was pretty obvious that it was Shelly.
SHELLY
The nerve you have, calling me a bitch! Let me expose you for the fraud you are, mister! You told me that you would talk to Biggs about having your title match moved to a later date as you had already promised to go with me so you could meet my dad! But what happens? I don't hear from you for several days, and when I call, you don't call me back!
SHAUN KILGORE
Oh, I'm sorry you couldn't get the hint, you little tramp! You see, I never said I'd call Biggs to postpone the match. I only said I would call him. So I did. I called him to tell him the match was still on because after a few losses, my title win notwithstanding, I realized what my real problem was! It was you!
SHELLY
How dare you!
SHAUN KILGORE
You were the problem, and here's why! When my baseball career didn't pan out, I turned to the other sport I loved, loved even more than baseball... wrestling. After training, I realized that this was what I was meant to do and was going to give 200% every time out. Then you and me started dating. From day one, it was all about you! You wanted to go out and do this! You wanted to go out and do that! Not once did you want to share in my interests! Hell, you looked at me with disdain when you saw some of my work on APW television! That's when I realized that YOU were the problem, and I needed to get you out of my life! So in case you haven't gotten the hint the first several million times, we are through! Goodbye! Get her the hell off the air!
Stunned silence followed as no one knew how to follow up after that heated exchange. Shaun stewed for a second, then threw his headset off and stormed off.[/center]
