The words “First Contact” flash across the starry background as Depeche Mode's “Space Walker” plays. Biggs shows up on the screen with The Beast standing behind him. Due to the positioning of the webcam, and the fact that Biggs is sitting down, only The Beast's chest and midsection can be seen. Biggs is wearing a “Serenity” T-shirt and his trademark blue shades, while The Beast sports a plain red shirt.
Biggs: Welcome one and all to the most AWESOME wrestling webshow in the world today, an still the number one in terms of viewership, welcome to Biggs' First Contact! I'm your host, the internet's favorite wrestler, none other than Biggs! Now this week we'll cover the normal wrestling chatter and shameless plug, so let's quit hogging bandwidth and get started!
The Axis of Awesome logo appears on the screen.
Biggs: If for some reason you somehow managed to miss both the Test for the Best pay per view and this past week's episode of APW Overdrive, then you have somehow inexplicably missed the formation of what is quite simply the most amazing, the most dynamic, dare I say the most talented alliance ever conceived in the history of professional wrestling, The Axis of Awesome! Now they say you shouldn't toot your own horn, but to steal a phrase from the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper, I say who knows the tune better? The Axis of Awesome consists of the most destructive force the APW has ever seen, The Beast! The longest reigning champion in the APW today, Chris Cyrus, also claims membership. And then there's me, a man who is quite simply the most complete wrestler active today or any day! We proved our greatness this past Wednesday, as both Cyrus and myself emerged victorious from our matches, and The Beast sent Shadow a message that he cannot ignore! But more on Shadow later, I've got some more to say about The Axis! For those of you who doubt my claims, who feel that maybe I'm singing our praises a little too loudly after only one week, let me remind you that The Beast and myself were the first ever GWE Tag Team Champions, titles that we held for over eight months! The only reason we relinquished the titles was because they wouldn't let us compete for the World Title while holding the tag belts. Quite simply, we were bigger than the Tag Team Titles, and we are widely regarded as the greatest tag team ever seen in GWE, if not the entire world! Add the reigning and defending APW Xtreme Champion Chris Cyrus into the mix, and we're flat out unstoppable! And while the Axis of Awesome is still relatively new, I can already state with full confidence that we will forever change the landscape of APW!
Biggs flashes his trademark smirk.
Biggs: That pause there was obviously the part where most of you at home would be booing, so I thought I'd give you the opportunity express that. Still, let's just hope that nobody else was around as you're watching this, because it's rather odd to boo at the computer screen.
Biggs laughs to himself, as The Beast still stands motionless behind him. The APW Overdrive logo appears in the upper corner as Biggs continues to speak.
Biggs: Now for some quick thoughts on this past week's episode of Overdrive! Other than the forming of the Axis of Awesome, perhaps the biggest development this past week was the suspension of Pence Weatherlight for faking the severities of his injuries heading into his APW Heavyweight Title Match at Test for the Best. Now regular viewers of this program will remember that I took Pence to task earlier, stating that I felt that he faked the attack against him. Well, Pence, it looks like I was right, and now you are getting your just desserts. As such, I firmly support the decision for you to be suspended. However, I would like to make an appeal to all the fans, so please hear me out. Pence claims to be motivated by the fans, claims to do everything that he does for the fans. In faking an injury, or even just faking the severity of an existing injury, Pence Weatherlight has lied to each and every one of you. Now I know that most of you don't like me, but none of you can call me a liar. Unfortunately for Pence, you can no longer say the same thing about him. So I implore of you, the fans, to not give Pence a free ride on this one! I encourage each and everyone of you to boo him at the top of your lungs upon his return, and let him know that you will not accept that kind of behavior from a supposed “good guy!” Pence has revealed himself to be a lier and a hypocrite, he's not a good man like he claims to be. So please, when Pence comes back, please let him know that there are consequences for his actions, and that you will not accept his dishonesty and deceit!
Shadow's picture shows up in the upper corner.
Biggs: Moving on to Shadow, this past Wednesday, The Beast and I left him laid out in the center of the ring! Shadow, you have shown yourself to be no better than Pence Weatherlight, because you have proved your cowardice by ducking my challenge! Some may say that I went too far by getting The Beast involved, but since you were constantly avoiding me, ignoring me, I had no choice but to do something drastic! Still, I have yet to hear from you this week in regards to my challenge, so take this as your warning, but until you respond to me, I will continue to sick The Beast on you! It's your choice, Shadow, either you can face me, or you can face him!
At this point, Biggs points his thumb back towards The Beast behind him. Biggs smirks again as a picture of Level-One shows up in the corner of the screen.
Biggs: Now moving on to my match with Level-One this week, I cannot even begin to describe my elation when I found out that I am in the main event this week, not because its some miracle or some unexpected surprise, but rather that it is an acknowledgment of my abilities and skills that I have been deemed suitable to headline a show. This may be my first main event in APW, but it is far from being my first main event. Granted, it's not the headlining match of a pay per view, but that will happen soon enough. As for my opponent, Level-One, I couldn't be happier with the opportunity I'm being given this week. You see, many people would be intimidated, afraid of having to face the APW Champion, let alone one as big and nasty as Level-One. A lot of people would go into the match thinking they don't even have a chance, because Level-One has built up an aura, a reputation of bing nearly unbeatable, and particularly dominant in one-on-one matches. The truth of the matter is that Level-One has many of his opponents beat before the bell even rings. However, that is not the case with me.
At this point, Biggs removes his shades, and leans in closer to the camera.
Biggs: (yelling) Look into my eyes, Level-One, and tell me if you see any signs of fear or despair! Look into my eyes, and tell me if you see a man who is already defeated! Not a chance! Take a good, hard look into these eyes, and see a man who is confident in his abilities, certain of his will, and sure of the fact that he will give nothing less than his best this upcoming Wednesday on Overdrive!
Biggs pauses to collect himself, and puts his shades back on.
Biggs: Level-One, I have no delusions of thinking that our match will be a cake-walk for myself, after all, you are the APW Champion for the reason. But don't you dare think for a moment that I am incapable of beating you. You see, Level-One, for all your tough talk, for your your chest puffing, for all the skill and talent that you display in the ring, regardless of all that, you are a weak-hearted, sniveling worm of a man. Following your loss at Mayhem, you stated that you laid down for Pence Weatherlight, that for the benefit of APW, you willingly relinquished the APW Heavyweight Championship, because you knew that you'd be facing Crazyman later that night. Well, either one of two things things happened that night, either you're telling the truth, and you knowingly gave up on a match, or that you're making an excuse for getting beat! Any way you slice it, Level-One, the way that you handled yourself that night and the following weeks show just how pathetic of a man you really are! If the former is the case, then you showed a huge lack of respect for the APW Heavyweight Championship, you insulted it's prestige, and you showed that you are not worthy of calling yourself a true champion! I don't care who you are, I don't care what kind of man you are, if you are a champion, you do everything in your power to keep that belt! If you truly just stayed down, and allowed Pence to beat you, then you do not deserve the APW Championship under any circumstances. If the latter is the case, you are nothing more than a huge whiner! Granted, you would be a little bit better than a quitter, but not by much! Either way, Level-One, you revealed your true character in how you handled yourself following Mayhem, you showed your true self. And while you may be one heck of a competitor, I cannot have a single shred of respect for you as a man.
Biggs chuckles a bit, cracking his trademark smirk as he does.
Biggs: Level-One, I can already hear the overly long, repetitive, profanity ridden diatribe that you will no doubt hurl towards me after you see this show, about how I haven't proved anything yet in APW, how I'm hiding behind Cyrus and The Beast, relying on others to do my dirty work. On the first point, I must concede that my opposition here in APW has been less than stellar, that my victories have yet to be over anyone of any real note here. That being said, you are the first real crack I have at top tier talent in APW, and I intend on making the most of this opportunity! I intend on beating the unbeatable, and proving that I deserve to be a permanent fixture at the top of the card! On the second point, I have already asked Chris Cyrus and The Beast to please refrain from helping me out during our match. Maybe it's my pride overcoming my Machiavellian nature, but I'd rather win this match on my own accord rather than by any means necessary. Unlike you, Level-One, I still have something to be proud about!
The Beast is still standing motionless in the background as Biggs fidgets in his seat a little before continuing to talk.
Biggs: And on a side note, Level-One, I wanted to quickly address the issue of your foul mouth. I was going to save this for when I eventually face John Green, but it applies to you as well! It has been said that a person who resorts to vulgar language has a point that they're trying to make, but that they lack the cognitive and oratory skills necessary to properly articulate that point. So please, Level-One, before you respond to what I've had to say here today, I ask you to take the time to think out your argument, figure out what you want to say, and how you want to say it, and if you feel the need to insult me or put me down, please be more creative than merely calling me the F-word! You're an intelligent man, Level-One, please try to show that!
Biggs lets out his obnoxious laugh, and after he's done laughing, gets right back to talking.
Biggs: Level-One, last week, I said that you were lucky that I didn't win the Test for the Best tournament, because it meant that you didn't have to face me. Unfortunately for you, fate seems to be against you, and I look forward to the chance of making my legacy at your expense! This Wednesday, Level-One, you will find out why I am quite simply out of this world!
The graphic for “Biggs' Shameless Plug of the Week” flashes across the screen.
Biggs: Now on a lighter note, it's time for my Shameless Plug of the week, and this week, I am recommending that each and everyone of you out there find a way to watch the animated film Coraline, which just came out on Blu-Ray and DVD this past week!
Biggs holds up a Blu-Ray case for the movie.
Biggs: For fans of stop motion animation, this movie is extremely beautiful! The attention to detail and the care put into crafting this movie is evident, and while the story won't blow you out of the water by any stretch of the imagination, the characters are likable, and it's a fun time throughout! Now I could have recommended Watchmen this week, but considering that a large portion of that movie contains an animated, blue male private part, the only person that I can really recommend that to is Joey Orsome!
Biggs lets out his obnoxious laugh again.
Biggs: Well folks, unfortunately, that's all the time I have for this week. Be sure to tune into APW Overdrive this Wednesday to see me go up against Level-One, and until next time, keep watching the stars!
The screen goes black as the APW logo and trademark flash across the screen.
***
Biggs closes his laptop, and places it on his desk. He then grabs a video camera from his shelf, and hands it to The Beast.
Biggs: C'mon, Beast, I got something else to film.
***
The perspective has shifted to that of the camera, and Biggs is standing in what appears to be a gym. He's dressed in blue shorts with a black A-frame tanktop, and has black sneakers on. The walls are white with blue accents, and the floor is varnished wood. Biggs' logo is painted on one of the walls, and the room is filled with extremely expensive looking exercise equipment.
Biggs: Level-One, just to show you how seriously you should be taking me this week, I thought I'd give you a look at how I prepare myself for my matches week in and week out! I'm here in the basement of my house, and as you can see, I have amassed quite the impressive array of exercise equipment, the absolute best money can buy! Let me show you around.
Biggs walks over to an elliptical machine. It's very fancy, and has a big screen TV facing it. Biggs smiles as he shows it off to the camera.
Biggs: On the days where I train cardio, which is about three times a week, I run 15 miles on this machine. When you run a sub-six minute mile like I do, it's actually a lot less time consuming than it sounds!
Following this, Biggs walks over to the weight training area of his gym. There's a traditional weight bench, several racks of different types of rates, from hand weights to ankle weights, to the bar weights. Biggs takes a seat on the weight bench, and begins to talk again.
Biggs: Here's my weight training area. I train on these twice a week for hours on end, but as you can tell, I'm not the biggest of guys. I predominately use weights to firm and tone my impressive physique, and to work on my explosiveness. My in-ring style is too dependent on speed for me to bulk up significantly, but that doesn't mean that I don't work just as hard, if not harder on, on my strength training than anyone else in the business! And if you think I slack off on the road, you're sorely mistaken. Sure, the facilities aren't always as nice, but I hold to my routine no matter what. That's called discipline.
Biggs smirks towards the camera, and then shows off more of his equipment, and then walks down the hall to a in-home theater. There's a notebook on the chair, and a huge stack of DVDs.
Biggs: And here's the area where I train the most important muscle in my body, my brain! This room houses a high def screen complete with a Blu-Ray player, but I don't use this room for movies at all. Rather, I spend one day a week watching prior matches of my opponents, learning their tendencies, recognizing their patterns. You see, Level-One, I am a thinking man's wrestler. I go into each and every match with a thoroughly drawn out game plan, and I am without a doubt, the most well prepared wrestler in the business. In fact, Level-One, I spent all of yesterday watching you, and believe me, I know you better than you even know yourself!
Biggs chuckles, and then motions for The Beast to turn off the camera. When the camera comes back on, Biggs and The Beast are outside of a large building. They walk in, and a stringy, middle-aged man immediately walks up and gives Biggs a hug.
Man: Biggs! It's great to see you! Time for your weekly visit already?
Biggs: Sure is Dale. (He turns to the camera) This man is Dale Davis. He's actually one of the men responsible for me being as great as I am, as he was the guy who trained me.
Dale: He's my star pupil, and despite how much of a jerk he is, I can't help but be proud of him!
Biggs: Hey now! Are the guys ready for me?
Dale: You bet.
The camera cuts off again, and when it comes back on, Biggs is in the ring, wrestling one of the students. Biggs nails the student with the Starmaker, and pins him, 1...2...3! The beaten student rolls out of the ring, and another student comes in. Biggs proceeds to wrestle him. The camera then pans over to Dale Davis. He speaks into the camera.
Dale: Once a week, Biggs will come into the school, and step into that ring. He'll take on anyone who wants to face him, and doesn't leave until one of two things happen, either one of my kids beating him, which hasn't happened yet, or Biggs tiring out after about two hours! The kids love it, because it gives them an opportunity to go against one of the best and give them a tangible way of charting their growth as a wrestler. It benefits Biggs because he gets to stay in great ring shape and ensures that he can go the distance in the ring without gassing out! It's really a win-win situation, and actually a win-win-win situation, because I actually get to charge a little bit more for classes thanks to Biggs.
Dale gives the camera a thumbs up, and it pans back to Biggs in the ring. The video then transitions to the end of Biggs' marathon session. He's propping himself on the rope, drinking a bottled water. As he finishes it, he looks right into the camera and speaks intensely.
Biggs: Level-One, I do this week in and week out to constantly push myself to grow as a wrestler. I'm showing you this because I want you to realize that you cannot afford to take me lightly. If I train this hard, you can only imagine how hard I push myself when it really matters. I'm serious about our match this week, and I hope you are too. There are two types of people in this world, Level-One, winners and losers. I know you're used to being a winner, but this week, I'll let you find out what it's like on the other side. You're welcome...
The video ends.
Biggs: Welcome one and all to the most AWESOME wrestling webshow in the world today, an still the number one in terms of viewership, welcome to Biggs' First Contact! I'm your host, the internet's favorite wrestler, none other than Biggs! Now this week we'll cover the normal wrestling chatter and shameless plug, so let's quit hogging bandwidth and get started!
The Axis of Awesome logo appears on the screen.
Biggs: If for some reason you somehow managed to miss both the Test for the Best pay per view and this past week's episode of APW Overdrive, then you have somehow inexplicably missed the formation of what is quite simply the most amazing, the most dynamic, dare I say the most talented alliance ever conceived in the history of professional wrestling, The Axis of Awesome! Now they say you shouldn't toot your own horn, but to steal a phrase from the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper, I say who knows the tune better? The Axis of Awesome consists of the most destructive force the APW has ever seen, The Beast! The longest reigning champion in the APW today, Chris Cyrus, also claims membership. And then there's me, a man who is quite simply the most complete wrestler active today or any day!

Man: Biggs! It's great to see you! Time for your weekly visit already?
Biggs: Sure is Dale. (He turns to the camera) This man is Dale Davis. He's actually one of the men responsible for me being as great as I am, as he was the guy who trained me.
Dale: He's my star pupil, and despite how much of a jerk he is, I can't help but be proud of him!
Biggs: Hey now! Are the guys ready for me?
Dale: You bet.
The camera cuts off again, and when it comes back on, Biggs is in the ring, wrestling one of the students. Biggs nails the student with the Starmaker, and pins him, 1...2...3! The beaten student rolls out of the ring, and another student comes in. Biggs proceeds to wrestle him. The camera then pans over to Dale Davis. He speaks into the camera.
Dale: Once a week, Biggs will come into the school, and step into that ring. He'll take on anyone who wants to face him, and doesn't leave until one of two things happen, either one of my kids beating him, which hasn't happened yet, or Biggs tiring out after about two hours! The kids love it, because it gives them an opportunity to go against one of the best and give them a tangible way of charting their growth as a wrestler. It benefits Biggs because he gets to stay in great ring shape and ensures that he can go the distance in the ring without gassing out! It's really a win-win situation, and actually a win-win-win situation, because I actually get to charge a little bit more for classes thanks to Biggs.
Dale gives the camera a thumbs up, and it pans back to Biggs in the ring. The video then transitions to the end of Biggs' marathon session. He's propping himself on the rope, drinking a bottled water. As he finishes it, he looks right into the camera and speaks intensely.
Biggs: Level-One, I do this week in and week out to constantly push myself to grow as a wrestler. I'm showing you this because I want you to realize that you cannot afford to take me lightly. If I train this hard, you can only imagine how hard I push myself when it really matters. I'm serious about our match this week, and I hope you are too. There are two types of people in this world, Level-One, winners and losers. I know you're used to being a winner, but this week, I'll let you find out what it's like on the other side. You're welcome...
The video ends.
