WHEN: Sunday 11th July 2010
WHO: James & Lucy Von Drake
Sunday the 11th of July was a massive day in the history of professional wrestling, and surprisingly the hero of this massive day was none other than the one they call Asesino. Now Asesino may never have won a match in his career, and he may never win a match in the future, but it was his big mouth that got wrestling legend James Von Drake so agitated, that he came out of his state of early retirement to throw himself back into the wrestling ring in order to kick Asesino's ass! With Asesino reaching the peak of his career with a beat down at the hands of JVD only hours ago, the scene is set backstage where James Von Drake and his wife Lucy Von Drake are sitting in the lounge section of the arena, waiting for a meeting with one of the members of the management team. With JVD entering and progressing in a tournament that he wasn't even supposed to be in, the wrestling legend was soon grabbed backstage and sweet talked into sticking around whilst the management of the SVO had time to hammer out a multi million pound deal in order to try and get him to stick around at least long enough to continue in the tournament, and save the federation the embarrassment of having one of their stars knocked out by someone who was only in the arena as a fan.
JVD - 'I had forgotten just what a sweet deal it is to hang backstage again.'
James Von Drake stretched out on the black leather sofa with a can of coke in one hand, obviously relaxing at the expense of the SVO management who were still crossing the t's and dotting the I's on a contract offer. JVD is wearing his jeans that he fought his impromptu match in earlier this evening, but has also been given an SVO branded t-shirt to wear for the rest of the night. Opposite him on an equally large and comfortable sofa is his wife Lucy Von Drake, who is playing with her hair whilst flicking through one of the weekly SVO magazines which has been left laying around as reading material.
LVD - 'There aren't a lot of women around this place James. The only one I can see from this magazine is someone called Juliana Torres, and she looks more masculine that most of the men!'
James Von Drake nods his head in agreement with whatever his wife just said, obviously not really paying attention to her comments.
JVD - 'Well I tell you what, if the SVO is putting guys like Asesino in a tournament to find out who is going to be a World title contender, then I have got to think that this place might be in trouble! Sure there were a lot of fans out there tonight, but are there going to be a lot of fans tune in every week to watch guys like him in the ring? I have no problems with guys going out there and trying there best, but he was just sloppy. I haven't even been in training for a couple of years and I still kicked his ass!'
Lucy Von Drake looks across at her husband in disgust at the thought of Asesino and the comments he had made to her earlier in the night. It was true that she enjoyed watching her husband defend her honour, but she had a ruthless streak in her which meant she would have enjoyed it if JVD had been even more brutal in his beat down.
LVD - 'Where the hell is this guy with that contract offer? You should tell them to get there act together in the next five minutes or else we are walking!'
Lucy Von Drake buries her head back into her magazine in a strop, as James Von Drake takes another sip of his coke as a smile spreads across his face.
JVD - 'To be fair Luce, these guys are probably back there creaming themselves at the prospects of signing someone like me onto their roster. If there hopes rely on the likes of Asesino and his little buddies, then I must be some kind of god send to them and there ratings! It wouldn't surprise me if they are back there plotting an Ocean's 11 heist just to find the money to pay my wages.'
Lucy Von Drake seems disinterested as her head returns back to her magazine, and JVD returns to plotting out his SVO future in his head. With Asesino proving to be a walkover tonight and JVD already progressing into the semi finals of the Victory cup tournament on his first night, there was a pretty big chance that any other opponents that he might have to face would also be as easy to beat as Asesino. After all no one in the SVO would have ever experienced anything like a talent such as JVD in any of their matches before, for the simply reason that he was a one of a kind and no one else in the wrestling world even came close to him.
Suddenly and without warning, the door to the VIP section swung open, and in walked a small man with a bald head wearing a suit. The man looked slightly nervous in the presence of James and Lucy Von Drake, as he made his way into the room clutching a stack of papers in his hands. The small man made his way over to the empty chair and sat down, before placing the papers down carefully on the table in the middle of the three people now in the room. James and Lucy Von Drake stared at the man intently trying to gage what he was all about, as he wiped away some sweat from his brow before beginning to speak.
'Thank you so much for sticking around here tonight to listen to our contract offer. My name is Jason Green and I am here on behalf of the SVO management..... did you manage to get a hold of your lawyer?'
Jason Green's eyes dart around the room nervously trying to see if there is a lawyer around, obviously anxious to get the deal concluded and to get JVD signed up to a SVO contract. However JVD waves away his fears with a wave of his hand as he pulls the papers over to his side of the table and begins to scan through them.
JVD - 'Don't worry about any lawyers Jason, I have signed enough of these things in my time to know what they are all about.'
Jason Green steals a sneaky glance sideways at Lucy Von Drake whilst JVD is studying the contract offer, but LVD stares back at him looking disgusted.
JVD - 'One thing I need to know before signing anything, Jason...... Who am I going to have to face in the next round of this tournament that I have found myself in?'
Jason Green pauses for a few seconds whilst trying to think of the answer, as JVD continues to flick through the pages of the contract, obviously reading all of the small print thoroughly.
Jason Green - 'I do believe that on your side of the draw, the person who won their quarter final match was the Canadian Crippler.'
James Von Drake almost drops his papers in surprise as his eyes shoot up and stare across at Jason Green. Green shifts nervously in his chair under the stare of JVD.
JVD - 'There must be some kind of mistake..... I am pretty sure that Chris Benoit is dead..... In-fact I am 100% sure of it, I saw it on the news. Either that or that was one hell of an angle!'
Jason Green looks back at JVD for a few seconds, before slowly shaking his head.
Jason Green - 'No the Canadian Crippler isn't Chris Benoit. Crippler is our very own superstar from Canada. He is a submission expert and goes by the name of the Crippler.'
James Von Drake and Lucy Von Drake stare across at each other with a confused look on their face.
LVD - 'How the hell has he not been sued by the WWE for a copyright infringement? Next you will be telling us that his finishing move is the crossface, he performs a diving headbutt from the top rope and is missing a front tooth!!'
James and Lucy Von Drake burst out laughing at her stupid joke, but Jason Green has a serious look on his face as he tries to think exactly what the Canadian Crippler's finishing move is. JVD and LVD stop laughing as they notice Green trying to think to himself about Canadian Crippler.
JVD - 'I got to be honest Jason, your not really selling this place to me very well. First off I have my first match against that loser Asesino. Fair enough that wasn't your fault, it was because he insulted my wife, but why do you even employ losers like that in your federation? He clearly has all the wrestling ability and charisma of a plank of wood. But then to make matters worse you stick me in my second match against a rip off of a man that not only killed himself, but his wife and kid as well! It's bad enough ripping someone else off and not being your own man, but to rip off a murderer? That's pretty low!'
Jason Green looks to be squirming in his seat the criticism from JVD, as Lucy Von Drake stands to her feet.
LVD - 'You're right James. Lets get the hell out of this place. There are dozens of top promotions all around the world that would love to have you on board its roster. Why are we going to waste our time here?'
Jason Green holds his head in his hands in despair, knowing that the chance of signing the marquee name of James Von Drake to his roster is quickly slipping out of his grasp.
JVD - 'Let's not be too hasty Lucy.'
Lucy Von Drake and Jason Green both look around at JVD, who is now leaning back in his chair, with equal measures of surprise.
JVD - 'This place signifies everything that I can't stand about the wrestling business right now. The business is dying because of people like Asesino who think that they are a top wrestler because they have a strange name and long hair. They think that they have a right to belong in the same ring where great men such as Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and James Von Drake have thrilled fans for years and years. They are killing off the wrestling business by stinking up arenas all around the world and making fans turn off their TV sets and stop coming to shows. Then you have the likes of the so called Canadian Crippler. The wrestling business is dying off because you have people like him stealing other peoples personalities and traits instead of being themselves and being innovative. With people like them the wresting business is going backwards not forwards. Who want's to watch the same old gimmicks and stories rehashed with new people in the roles?'
Jason Green and Lucy Von Drake both stare across at James Von Drake, as he picks up a pen from the table and finds the page on the contract that requires his signature.
JVD - 'I am going to sign this contract here tonight not because I owe the SVO anything, and not because I need the money. I am going to sign this contract because ever since I left the wrestling business it has been in decline. I am going to sign this contract to teach the likes of Crippler and Asesino what it means to be a wrestler. I am going to clean up the SVO from the inside, and make it a shining example in the wrestling world of what this business should be all about. I am going to sign this contract here tonight so I can walk out there next week and take care of business against Crippler. I am going to keep taking care of business until I win this tournament and get a shot at the SVO World title. I am then going to win that World title and transform the SVO into a wrestling federation that true wrestling fans all around the country can be proud of. In short I am going to save the SVO, and I am going to save the wrestling business.'
James Von Drake quickly scribbles his name on the bottom of the contract and hands it back to Jason Green, who's face lights up, despite everything that has been said about the company that he has dedicated his life's work to. Jason Green quickly flicks to the back page to make sure that JVD did actually sign his name and was not joking with him, before grabbing his hand and shaking it profusely.
Jason Green - 'Thank you so much Mr Von Drake. You will not regret the decision. The SVO is ready happy to have you.'
JVD - 'It might be now Jason, but it won't be in a few weeks when I have the World title in my grasp and am running roughshot over this whole place. I am not interested in making my way up slowly to the top and climbing the ladder, I am making a grab for the top straight away. Make sure you put the whole of the SVO on notice.'
James Von Drake flashes his million dollar smile as the scene begins to fade out with JVD and Lucy Von Drake now officially a part of the SVO. With the whole of the SVO now on notice that JVD is coming for the top belt and is ready to save the SVO from itself, just how will the rest of the roster react to the damming review from the future World champion? Will James Von Drake be made to eat humble pie against Chris Benoit rip off Crippler next week, or will as expected JVD move to the final of the tournament and earn himself a right to fight for the chance to fight against the champion? Will anyone be able to stop the combination of James Von Drake's talent and Lucy Von Drake's brains? Will the SVO ever be the same again?
