Everyone loves a comedian right? After all they say that laugher is the best medicine. Well, that may be a bit of a stretch. Sure, humor can brighten up a day well enough and bring a smile out of the darkest weather. But a well placed punch line or a humorous antic dote has never cured cancer, healed the sick or closed a wound. Humor has never won a war, battle, or game of skill. Humor is not equated to strength, talent or desire. But some people share another opinion. Some people see Humor as a way to achieve all their greatest goals and wishes!
I may loathe every single person involved with Action Packed Wrestling from the peons in the locker room to the tyrants at the very top of the food chain like Furor Jeff and his band of Yes Men! However, I still respect this business enough to not make a complete and total mockery out of it! I don’t joke and fool around with the entire precipice behind what we do day in and day out! I don’t parade myself around like a common circus clown hell bent to get any and all laughs possible, whoring out my self respect to the highest bidder!
But there is a man who treats APW like his very own improve stage. He doesn’t give a damn about the traditions of this sport. He doesn’t take anything seriously and is only here for his own amusement. Things like success, glory, and adoration are foreign to this man. He is deluded to the point of living in his own virtual reality. This man knows nothing of the real world, nothing of the true happenings of this realm. Every single thing he does is based on the land created with his own immaculate imagination.
The sad thing, is I once called this man a friend. Back when I was trying to pad my empire, back when I had visions of more gold in my mind, back before I realized he was a raging lunatic.
But his madness has become a liability. His comical ways are tearing this business apart.
He must be stopped!
Once again, I must play the part of the reluctant hero and prevent this menace from ruining that which we hold dear.
It’s time for the court jester to be shipped off to the gallows.
Littering the floors of the Sindicate mail room are sacks and sacks brimming over with letters addressed to either The Sindicate, Terry Marvin, or Level-One. The sacks are piled on top of each other almost spilling out of the room. We then see a desk with a few of the letters opened and spilled out on the surface. Some of the highlighted words jump out to us: “DIE”, “I HATE YOUR GUTS”, “GO TO HELL” are just a few of the musings in this hate mail.
“Some of this is actually quite interesting. It’s surprising how creative being hateful and jealous could make you.”
We see “The Real Show” Terry Marvin sitting at a desk wearing his “Code Red Wrestling” Tee-Shirt and reading one of the letters. Sitting next to him is Level One, also Donning the CRW gear and smirking.
”I don’t get it… you pull one little stunt where you make the APW look like fools on a GRAND stage, and suddenly people can’t stand you!”
Felipe Deloren smirks from behind the desk in an extremely nice suit.
”To be fair, they didn’t much care for you before!”
”Nonsense, the people love US!”
They all laugh and shake their heads. Terry crumbles the letter up and tosses it.
“Doesn’t matter much. Things are about to change in APW, things are about to change period. Now that we have Code Red in our back pocket…so to speak… there isn’t a soul on the planet that can stop us! ”
Terry smiles as he stands up and looks out the window at all the little people below.
“I’m sick and tired of being treated like one of them, like an insignificant speck of dust. I’m the UNDISPUTED CHAMPION…the Survive and Conquer winner, and the fucking GOD of this pitiful place! Yet, where’s my shrine? Where’s my ceremony? Where’s Jeff on his hands and knees praying to the man who keeps his company relevant, thanking me for not letting his company be embarrassed by Outsiders during his OWN event! Where’s the respect of the man who revolutionized APW, who made it GREAT, who caused it to win the FED OF THE YEAR?! But no, Jeff couldn’t bear to swallow his pride for even ONE second!”
Terry shakes his head as he takes his arm and sweeps it across the table, knocking all the hate letters to the floor in anger. Felipe smiles and pats Terry on the shoulder.
”Ah yes, but isn’t that why you sided with CRW and Talon, because he recognized your true potential, cause he realized that you deserve to be praised and revered instead of despised and disrespected? ”
Terry flashes an insincere grin at Felipe.
“Sure. So far, that is. But deep down he’s just like Jeff, thinks he runs the world, thinks he’s above those who bring him his money! It’ll only be a matter of time before he’s sliding that dagger right between my shoulder blades. ”
”But until then, it gives us ADDED leverage. Now Jeff is required to show the two of you respect or else lose his biggest draws and price tag that goes with them! Not to mention, I think it’ll be interesting to see what happens if we decide to bring a few of our new found friends by for a little visit now and then.”
He just smirks and sits down at his chair, pulling out a big cigar and lighting it. Another man enters the office with a doctors bag and sits it down on the desk.
“FINALLY! ”
”Who the hell is this?”
“THIS is the local doctor! He has kindly agreed to administer my rabies vaccine. Lord knows I don’t want to catch anything from that pestilent little hyena Delikado this week. It’s a travesty that I’m being forced to dispose of this fucking mad man! I mean, the thought of letting this disease ridden sub human piece of shit run rampant in APW is just one small example of what’s wrong with this world!”
Felipe and Level One chuckle and that gets Terry’s temper up.
“NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS FUNNY! That’s another part of the problem. Everyone laughs at Deli like the fucking annoying kid in the back of the room who just never learns to SHUT UP! Therefore he just keeps up with the jokes and the pranks until somebody stops giving him attention!”
Terry slams his fist on the desk as he glares up.
“I’m sure Jeff and Rebel are having their own little laugh about it somewhere. They’re trying to make a fool out of me, trying to make it seem like I’m less than important, like I’m NOTHING! It sickens me to see my talents cheapened this way. It sickens me even more to know that Deli and I used to be partners, friends! But then he started running around with that Terry Marvin wanna be little brat Evan Envi and playing with wild animals! I wish I could have seen then the sociopath that I was dealing with.”
”Come on, Delikado’s not so bad. He knows how to get things done at least.”
“Perhaps he did once! But lately he’s just been a sad sack of nothing! He’s wilted away his potential and wasted his talents trying for the shock value, trying to go the extra distance and not in a good way. He’s an attention whore! But that little dance of his has finally got him into trouble. Cause he’s garnered the attention of the one man you do not want to cross. The fun and games are over for this man! And after last week, after what Evan Envi did to me… SOMEBODY has to pay!”
Terry’s face is one of absolute fury.
”It was a CHEAP victory for Evan and a meaningless loss for you!”
“Meaningless? Every time somebody catches lightning in the bottle and gets that little checkmark scribbled in the win column against me, IT MEANS SOMETHING! Every time an unworthy foe cheats his way to greatnes…. It means something! Evan Envi got his name down in the history books, but he’s about to understand that every action has consequences! I’m going to take his little sidekick and permanently scar his wrinkly face in the shape of a smile! Then that fucking joker will FOREVER know what it’s like to be a gay little clown!”
Marvin just turns and storms out of his office as Level One and Felipe just snicker and the scene fades to black!
A bright spotlight shines on the stage illuminating the large letters in the background that read “IMPROV.” The crowd is cheering and clapping as they sit at their tables enjoying their highly overpriced drinks. From the side of the stage runs out the APW Undisputed Champion “Terry Marvin” as he grabs the microphone and smiles to everyone, waving!
“THANK YOU! Thank you so much folks and let me say what an honor it is to be here in….well….wherever the fuck this place is! I’ve got a great show lined up for you tonight so let’s sit back and enjoy a few laughs shall we?”
The crowd cheers and claps as the “applause” sign flashes just above the stage. Terry smirks knowing he basically has a captive audience.
“Let’s start it off with a quick joke shall we? What do you get when you cross an impotent Alligator, a Baboon on meth, and the dirtiest shithole of a country on God’s green earth? Nobody? Nobody? Come on, this is an easy one. It’s my opponent for Overdrive this week DELIKDO of course! I mean seriously, that geazer’s face is so leathery my girlfriend wants to tie a strap around his neck and carry him around as her purse!”
The crowd laughs loudly as Terry walks back and forth on the stage smiling.
“But seriously, seriously… Let me tell you a little story! You see, I’m not originally a comedian; I’m not that much of a loser at life. I’m much more attune to actually accomplishing and achieving things than I am standing in front of a bunch of imbeciles who just spent 80 bucks a ticket to see a high school dropout tell fake stories about his life. If I stood up here and told stories, they certainly wouldn’t leave you laughing. Instead you’d be in awe about how very very little you actually mean in the grand scheme of things and they’d leave you depressed with how badly you’ve wasted your insignificant lives.
However this story isn’t about me and all my greatness. Instead it is about a man who once had the most potential on the planet. There I was, just about to embark on a journey to great heights and claim the greatest prize in my profession, with a tiny little problem on my hands. See, before I could become the Undisputed Champion, I had to figure out what to do with my puny little overdrive title that meant so much to so many, but very little to me. I mean after all, I’m only one man, with only one waist, so how can I be expected to hold THAT much gold am I right?”
The fans don’t clap and laugh, ignoring the sign above Terry’s head, instead glare a hole through the man who just insulted them without even blinking an eye. Terry nods and smiles, pretending they laughed at him and continues on.
“So I had to choose my successor, and I had to choose carefully. After all, this man was going to carry on MY LEGACY! This man was going to take something that I had built from the ground up to NEW HEIGHTS! I had no other choice than to pick this enigma who had come storming through the APW front gates, this entity that had once DESTROYED my nemisis Kurt Noble. CLEARLY I couldn’t go wrong right? Well at first that’s exactly the way it seemed. I mean, he performed beautifully and made me more proud than I could have ever imagined. But then, something changed! This man was no longer the fierce competitor and focused being that I once new. He had changed into an entirely different animal. He began doing outrageous stunts that served NO purpose other than drawing an extreme reaction from everyone around him. I was so disappointed in him that it broke my heart a little bit. But that wasn’t the worst part… not even close.
See, Deli turned his back on the man who MADE HIM A STAR, turned his attention away from me and to another man by the name of Evan Envi. Now Evan was an arrogant little prick who thought he was better than everyone even though his pathetic little small minded ass just came wandering through the front doors of APW completely and totally untested. Deli looked up to Evan like he was a super star, the same way he once looked up to me. This I felt to be the ultimate betrayal, not only because Deli replaced the man who fucking MADE him in the first place, but because the betrayal sent him BACK in progress instead of forward. Deli LOST that precious title that I handpicked for him and proceeded to flush his career strait down the toilet. ”
Terry continues to smile and pace on the stage as if this was part of his comedy act. But when he’s met with blank stares, he pauses.
“You know what… you guys are right. See, I don’t find that very funny either. Mr. Delikado wants to be a comic….wants to have fun and tell jokes, but he’s blind to one very simple fact. The BIGGEST Joke in APW is in fact Delikado himself. People just aren’t laughing with him anymore. Hell, people aren’t even laughing AT him at this point. Now a days, people simply smack their forehead with their palm and sigh at the loss of great potential as it constantly seeps out of his being. And this week, I am forced to step in that ring with this giant steaming pile of shit as a metaphorical MERCY FLUSH to once and for all flash those big old lights in the back that indicates when you’re laying a fucking egg and it’s time to exit the stage!
You see while Deli’s been running around fighting for eight dollars and fifty cents, I’ve been winning Test for the Best. While he’s been chasing around opponents with Raccoons and kidnapping moms, I’ve been winning Titles! While he was playing house with AC Smith and trying OH SO HARD for the garbage can championship…. I was laying out 99 other men and women to earn the BIGGEST Survive and Conquer prize ever handed out. And this week, while he no doubt has some evil little plan afoot, I’ll be making him my little Cuban BITCH!
Something tells me that Delikado is no longer laughing! I hope that he’s used this opportunity to take a step back and get a good look at his life and realize that he’s the JESTER in my GREAT kingdom! And I hope that lights a fire up under his ass and he comes to Overdrive tomorrow with all guns blazing looking to make a little name for himself. I hope this causes him to quit being a GOD DAMNED afterthought and become what he was destined to be….what I MADE HIM TO BE!”
Terry glares out at the crowd not even trying to be funny any longer. They just shift uncontrollably.
“I promise right now that if he comes with anything less than 100%, I will finish the punch line of his life and put his ignorant ass back in a fucking inner tube and kick him back HOME!”
There’s more uncomfortable silence as people begin to get up and walk away.
“WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING? When GOD’s Gift to Wrestling takes the fucking stage, you will sit there and listen until he’s done saying every single word he has to say! If a single one of you so much as get out of your seat again, I will rip out your reproductive organs and beat you to death with them! Are we clear?”
The people zip back to their seats and Marvin’s captive audience watches on in fear.
“The fact of the matter is that this company has gotten out of hand. APW has become a tragic comedy on a downward spiral into extinction. Perhaps I should just let it implode, let it slowly die and wither away. God knows this place has done everything in its power to hold me back. But I broke free in spite of those trying to pull me down to the depths of hell. But if the legacy of APW diminishes, then so does mine! And if you think for one second that I’m going to let ANYBODY dim the light that shines for me then you aren’t fucking paying attention! Putting me in this match is just as big a JOKE as my opponent himself. It’s a slap in the face, a way to continue to smack me down with the tyrannical fist of the powers that be! Once again, I am under appreciated. Once again I am overlooked. And they will regret it. Delikado will regret it. And you people out there watching will regret it.”
Terry looks out to the crowd who nervously eye the door and then back to Marvin. Marvin stares strait into the cameras now, ignoring the crowd and everything around him.
“I have to tell you Delikado…. I don’t want to do this. I wanted us to stand side by side as partners and brothers. I wanted you to be part of the greatest conglomeration in wrestling history. I wanted you to join the Sindicate and give us that little extra edge of crazy to fuel our cause. But there’s crazy….and then there’s LOOPY insane! Crazy we could have used. That edge of desire to do whatever it takes to get ahead….that we could have used. That little spark that doesn’t shut off when you’re so close to breaking your opponent in half…that we could have used. Just imagine the fear we’d strike into the hearts of all our opponents. Between the loose cannon and the GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO WRESTLING, we would have been unstoppable. ALL you had to do was live up to your end of the deal Delikado and you JUST COULDN’T FUCKING DO IT!
That seems to be the status quo from you doesn’t it? It’s all Build up, and build up, and build up to one massive Orgasm of brilliance…. But it never comes. You simply putter out before you get the job done. You go limp and roll over whimpering in the corner and the people are forced to go home unsatisfied. And that’s what you’re doing here Delikado. You probably looked at that card and got INSTANTLY invigorated! You probably saw my name and thought ‘WELL HERE’S MY FUCKING CHANCE TO PROVE SOMETHING!’ You went to work right away, devising a schedule and a plan. But just like the little brainless, immature child that you are, some little shiny object caught your attention and you let everything slip away!
Once again Delikado… you’ll put yourself away wet and leave everyone else disappointed!”
Terry shakes his head and lets out a big sigh. Then he smiles and looks up just a little.
“But don’t worry folks, cause once again The REALEST MOTHERFUCKING SHOW around will pick up the pieces and carry the entertainment! I have never, and will never let you folks down. Each and every time I’ve promised something in this business, I have delivered. Each and every time I’ve put my mind to something, I’ve accomplished it. And tomorrow night, my mind is set on making an example out of Delikado!
No longer will APW accept a mockery of society that fails time and time again. No longer will APW accept somebody who just plain doesn’t GIVE A SHIT! No longer with APW accept a clown college reject who comes strutting around trying to steal the spotlight! I will show everyone what happens when you put a busted down donkey with a big red nose and rainbow hair against a certified STUD thoroughbred. It will make people rethink their entire lives. It will make folks wonder the meaning of life. It will make them stare in awe at something they may never well see again.
And it will make them realize just what kind of talent they have in their Undisputed Champion. And it will make them respect me, appreciate me, and never take me for granted EEEEEVVEERRRRR again! ”
Terry smirks as he points up and the applause sign is flashing like crazy. The people do nothing at first till he glares at them and they begin to clap like mad.
“The Joke is over Delikado and tomorrow night….it’s time to Get Real…. IT’S SHOWTIME! ”
Terry drops the mic and exits the stage as the house lights come on. The people in the crowd get up and storm towards the exit, finally free from their prison.
I may loathe every single person involved with Action Packed Wrestling from the peons in the locker room to the tyrants at the very top of the food chain like Furor Jeff and his band of Yes Men! However, I still respect this business enough to not make a complete and total mockery out of it! I don’t joke and fool around with the entire precipice behind what we do day in and day out! I don’t parade myself around like a common circus clown hell bent to get any and all laughs possible, whoring out my self respect to the highest bidder!

If a single one of you so much as get out of your seat again, I will rip out your reproductive organs and beat you to death with them! Are we clear?”
The people zip back to their seats and Marvin’s captive audience watches on in fear.
“The fact of the matter is that this company has gotten out of hand. APW has become a tragic comedy on a downward spiral into extinction. Perhaps I should just let it implode, let it slowly die and wither away. God knows this place has done everything in its power to hold me back. But I broke free in spite of those trying to pull me down to the depths of hell. But if the legacy of APW diminishes, then so does mine! And if you think for one second that I’m going to let ANYBODY dim the light that shines for me then you aren’t fucking paying attention! Putting me in this match is just as big a JOKE as my opponent himself. It’s a slap in the face, a way to continue to smack me down with the tyrannical fist of the powers that be! Once again, I am under appreciated. Once again I am overlooked. And they will regret it. Delikado will regret it. And you people out there watching will regret it.”
Terry looks out to the crowd who nervously eye the door and then back to Marvin. Marvin stares strait into the cameras now, ignoring the crowd and everything around him.
“I have to tell you Delikado…. I don’t want to do this. I wanted us to stand side by side as partners and brothers. I wanted you to be part of the greatest conglomeration in wrestling history. I wanted you to join the Sindicate and give us that little extra edge of crazy to fuel our cause. But there’s crazy….and then there’s LOOPY insane! Crazy we could have used. That edge of desire to do whatever it takes to get ahead….that we could have used. That little spark that doesn’t shut off when you’re so close to breaking your opponent in half…that we could have used. Just imagine the fear we’d strike into the hearts of all our opponents. Between the loose cannon and the GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO WRESTLING, we would have been unstoppable. ALL you had to do was live up to your end of the deal Delikado and you JUST COULDN’T FUCKING DO IT!
That seems to be the status quo from you doesn’t it? It’s all Build up, and build up, and build up to one massive Orgasm of brilliance…. But it never comes. You simply putter out before you get the job done. You go limp and roll over whimpering in the corner and the people are forced to go home unsatisfied. And that’s what you’re doing here Delikado. You probably looked at that card and got INSTANTLY invigorated! You probably saw my name and thought ‘WELL HERE’S MY FUCKING CHANCE TO PROVE SOMETHING!’ You went to work right away, devising a schedule and a plan. But just like the little brainless, immature child that you are, some little shiny object caught your attention and you let everything slip away!
Once again Delikado… you’ll put yourself away wet and leave everyone else disappointed!”
Terry shakes his head and lets out a big sigh. Then he smiles and looks up just a little.
“But don’t worry folks, cause once again The REALEST MOTHERFUCKING SHOW around will pick up the pieces and carry the entertainment! I have never, and will never let you folks down. Each and every time I’ve promised something in this business, I have delivered. Each and every time I’ve put my mind to something, I’ve accomplished it. And tomorrow night, my mind is set on making an example out of Delikado!
No longer will APW accept a mockery of society that fails time and time again. No longer will APW accept somebody who just plain doesn’t GIVE A SHIT! No longer with APW accept a clown college reject who comes strutting around trying to steal the spotlight! I will show everyone what happens when you put a busted down donkey with a big red nose and rainbow hair against a certified STUD thoroughbred. It will make people rethink their entire lives. It will make folks wonder the meaning of life. It will make them stare in awe at something they may never well see again.
And it will make them realize just what kind of talent they have in their Undisputed Champion. And it will make them respect me, appreciate me, and never take me for granted EEEEEVVEERRRRR again! ”
Terry smirks as he points up and the applause sign is flashing like crazy. The people do nothing at first till he glares at them and they begin to clap like mad.
“The Joke is over Delikado and tomorrow night….it’s time to Get Real…. IT’S SHOWTIME! ”
Terry drops the mic and exits the stage as the house lights come on. The people in the crowd get up and storm towards the exit, finally free from their prison.
