High Maintenance

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to show the tag team of High Maintenance standing in front of a Hardkore World banner. The Rolls Royce Jonathan Richards is wearing a bright red silk shirt, cut of at the sleeves with the buttons undone, he is oiled up top the max and his muscles are rippling, The New Sensation Nathan Slater is the smaller of the pair, and his expression oozes confidence.]

"The Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards : So ... this is the world famous Hardkore World.

I gotta say ... I'm impressed ... and i don't impress easy.

Now ... i don't mean im impressed with the competition ... these fools wont last two minutes in the ring with us.

But what does impress me .... is that this is our first match here ... and low and behold ... its for the World Tag Team Title's. How about that!

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : As well it should be! Look at us ... the finest pair of athletes you'd ever lay your eyes on.

We have it all.

The killer instinct .... that can not be taught ... but is either a part of you or it isn't.

We have been trained by the very best this business has to offer ... one Paul Soutter ... and even worked for him for the last six moths or so ... finding our feet in this business over at SWAT.

But he was holding us back ... would never give us the proper push we truly deserved.

Kept mumbling some crap about how it wouldn't be fair ... with him having trained us and all ... and that we had to bide our time and wait for the right moment.

Jonathan Richards : I don't think so!

Thats when we got on the phone and called up these Hardkore World guys ... told them we want in ... and that was that ... Hello Hardkore World .. .so long SWAT!

Nathan Slater : That was the hard part ... the rest is all down hill ... MVC 2 ... Black Experience .... please. Its only a matter of time before we make our debut ... and its going to be in the grandest fashion this place has ever seen.

We are here to prove ... that we are exactly what we say we are.

The best tag team in wrestling today!

We are here to bring back the glory days of Tag Team wrestling .... to honour great teams like : The Road Warriors .... The Horsemen ... Freebirds!

Jonathan Richards : The Hart Foundation and British Bulldogs!

Nathan Slater : The Midnight Express ... Demolition!

Jonathan Richards : All great teams ... that we grew up watching as kids .... all great teams ... true legends of our sport ... but all of them teams ... mo matter how great they were ... fail in comparision to High Maintenance.

We demand the best ... because we are the best.

We will not accept anything less ... High Maintenance isn't some catchy name made up for us ... we are called it for a reason.

And its not ... as some have whispered in the dark corners of arena's World Wide ... a clever little name given to us by The Suit to have a personal dig at all the whiners and whingers he has had to deal with since entering this business.

No ... its a way of life ... some are Straight Edge .... some are Goth ....

[Both guys roll there eyes at that one.]

Nathan Slater : Some are "elitist pricks" .... some "7 Foot Black Warriors"

[Slater scoffs]

We ... quite simply ... make Paris Hilton seem like a Stepford wife!

She aint got nothing on us ... as you will all find out first hand!

Jonathan Richards : We are the most dangerous duo seen since Mickey and Mallory ... and we are here to stay.

Nathan Slater : As long as we get what we want and are treated like the superstars we are.

Jonathan Richards : Of course... that goes without saying ... Hardkore World ... see you at Palm Springs!

[Scene fades with a double pose.]

[Soutter]

The scene switches to earlier in the afternoon ... High Maintenance making there arrival at Hardkore Hall ... there is a group of about 200 eager fans allready queuing up waiting for the show ... High Maintenance are both walking down towards the entrance ... roped off from the fans ... "The Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards is wearing an open red silk shirt ... the sleeves cut off and his huge oiled up body glistens in the sun ... "The New Sensation" Nathan Slater wearing the new High Maintenance T-Shirt ... both men dragging there bags behind them on them wheely things.

As they pass a group of fans ... a heated argument can be heard from them about what was more ridiculous ... The Edge / Lita wedding ... or The President of the United States playing basketball with Cobryn.

Further down the line a group of girls are holding up a sign reading "Our thoughts are with you Domino!"

Richards and Slater look at each other and smirk.

Jonathan Richards : Our thoughts are with her two ... thats one hot piece of ass.

Nathan Slater : Apparently not anymore ... she's used goods now buddy.

Jonathan Richards : Now?

Nathan Slater : Well ... more so used goods .... seems Jones had his way with her.

Jonathan Richards : Who hasn't?

Nathan Slater : No no ... he literally had his way with her .... im talking Rape!

Jonathan Richards : Ohhh .... well ... was only a matter of time .. .walking around dressed like that ... what did she expect! And who is this Jones character?

Nathan Slater : Some English twit ... not really important any more ... Stein is gonna kill him for what he did .. .so we need not concern ourselves with him.

They continue down the line .... a young fan in a SWAT t-shirt with a "High Maintenance = Cool" sign yelling encouragement to them

Nathan Slater : Cooler then Prince pal!

They enter the arena ... the camera following them down the corridor.

Jonathan Richards : So ... now that we dont need to concern ourselves with this Jones guy ... means we can really sit back and focus on the burning question of the night.

Nathan Slater : Who we will beat to become Tag Team Champions?

Jonathan Richards : No ... will "Sexy" Anjanette Turner perform double duty tonight or wont she!

Nathan Slater : Double Duty? Do i smell a gang bang coming our way?

Jonathan Richards : Perhaps ... if she's lucky!

Both guys laugh and high five each other ... turning the corner as the scene fades back to ......

[Soutter]

Guillermo O'Bannon: In San Diego, The Miracle Violence Combination II barely escaped The Cox Arena with the titles. The giants in The Black Experience bounced them from one wall of the cage to the other. Now The Black Experience gets another shot, this time with SWAT superstars High Maintence in the match as well.

("Get Down" by Everlast plays and the crowd cheers. Gavin Slater leads "New Sensation" Nathan Slater & "Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards down to the ring)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Trained by Paul Soutter in Australia, these two say they have come to the West Coast to bring back tag team wrestling. They did all they could do in SWAT but now that they are here to try and break the glass ceiling of tag team wrestling, Miracle Violence Combination II.

Phil Blauer: That's gonna be hard. 15 teams tried the same thing...twice.

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "The following threeway dance will be a 30 minute time limit for the HARDKORE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! Your referee is Mike Peters.

(The crowd cheers, as Gavin Slater pumps them up. Then "Go To Sleep" by Eminem, Obie Trice, and DMX plays. As Stan Wilson makes his entrance, he usually jogs lightly in place in order to warm up. Bruno steps out and does a few bodybuilder poses)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Black Experience hasn't really been heard from much lately, in preperation for this match. Bruno & Stan have instead focused their attention at working on their teamwork, the thing that almost defeated The Miracle Violence Combination II.

Yolanda Ando: Bruno wears some red tights with the Hardkore World Six Man Tag Team Championship belt around his waist. Stan wears black leather trunks with the words "Big Tank" embroided on the back, and an image of a small tank on the front.

Black kneepads, with ankle length black leather boots to complete the outfit.

(As Stan steps over the top rope, he raises his fist in the air as a sign of respect between him and the fans)

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "And from Compton, California; Standing 7 feet even; Weighing 355 pounds...BRUNO!! His partner is from Birmingham, Alabama; Standing 6 feet 10 inches tall; Weighing 325 pounds...STAN 'THE TANK' WILSON!! They are One Third of the HARDKORE WORLD SIX MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE BLACK EXPERIENCE!!!"

(The crowd cheers as Bruno & Stan Wilson do their respective poses. Then "Spider Bait" by Black Betty plays. They both rub their heads from the Peacemaker shots they took earlier in the evening. The Hardkore World Tag Team belts are around their waists. The fans cheer as Kilroy waves back at them, while Andrew Karnage threatens both teams in the ring)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Miracle Violence Combination II made headlines tonight as they reformed The Un-Stable with Robert Hunglestien III & "The Punisher" Dan Stein. That didn't go so well, as an unexpected visitor by the name of Cobryn made an appearence and took The Un-Stable's #1 draft pick with them.

Phil Blauer: Yeah, that was scary. And the only thing that scares me...is Gargamel. (shudders)

Yolanda Ando: (pats his hand) I know, Phil. Kilroy Evans wears a black "The Tick" t-shirt, blue jeans, gray and navy blue sneakers, brown belt & red, white, and blue wristbands.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Rally Jackson recently made a post-post show rant at the San Diego show about Andrew Karnage's natural physique.

Phil Blauer: That's gotta be weighing on his mind about as much as what Kilroy's gonna have to drink with his post-match meal. Usually it's stew.

Guillermo O'Bannon: The meal?

Phil Blauer: No, the drink.

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "And from Attbury, South Carolina; Standing 5 feet 11 inches tall; Weighing 253 pounds...KILROY EVANS!! His partner is from Orem, Utah; Standing 6 feet 5 inches tall; Weighing 257 pounds...ANDREW KARNAGE!! They are The Current HARDKORE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE MIRACLE VIOLENCE COMBINATION II!!!"

[Soutter]

[The scene opens up to the back of Hardkore Hall, Palm Springs ... Jonathan Richards, Nathan Slater and their manager Gavin Slater all walking down a corridor ... they come across a door labeled ... Women's Locker Room and Nathan knocks on the door.]

[The door is opened by Yolander Ando.]

Yolander : Yes? Can i help you guys?

[Gavin Slater sticks his head past her ... trying to get a peak inside .... some legs can be seen pulling up some hot stockings ... and also a nice rack in a frilly bra can be seen ... but no faces to go with .... Jonathan Richards and Nathan Slater both push Gavin back out of the way ... give him a dirty look for perving ... then themselves try to get a sneak peak.]

Yolander : Ummm ... Hellooooo?

Jonathan Richards : Ohhh ... Sexy Anj around?

Yolander : Yeah ... i think so ... just a sec.

[Yolander yells out for Anj telling her there is someone to see her. Sexy Anj approaches the door ... trying to block there view into the room.]

"Sexy" Anj : Hello?

"Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards (flexing his muscles) : So ... how about it?

"Sexy" Anj : How about what?

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : The gang bang ... what else ....

SMASH

[The "New Sensation" Nathan Slater is cut of ... the door slamming in his face.]

Nathan Slater : Ohhhh .... she wants us soooooo bad!

Jonathan Richards : You know it! Come on ... we'll catch up with her later.

[High Maintenance then proceed down the hallway ... newly won Hardkore World Tag Team Championships over the shoulders by the way ..... before rounding a corner and being accosted by former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone.]

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Wow .... High Maintenance .... new Tag Team champions ... and on your first night no less ... congratulations guys!

Jonathan Richards : Like there was ever going to be any other outcome!

Nathan Slater : Yeah ... we shocked the world baby .... no one thought we had a chance ... except for ourselves of course .... and boy ... did it feel goooood!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Thats great ... and you guys sure did shock the world ... the MVC 2 is one of the best tag teams in the world ... and beating them is no mean feat!

Gavin Slater : Very true ... but you summed it up yourself there Matt ... they are "one" of the best teams ... my boys right here ... they are the cream of the crop ..... tag team specialists ... and i promise you now ... we will hold these belts for a hell of a long time.

Jonathan Richards : For as long as we want to baby!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Its been quite an eventful night ... what are your thoughts on your first night in Hardkore World?

Nathan Slater : Eventful and then some ... first and foremost we saw the brilliant debut of High Maintenance ... now wasn't that something Jonno?

Jonathan Richards : Was it what! Talk about making an impact!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Anything else catch your eye's?

Jonathan Richards : Well ... our old pal Stein sure was ... how could i put this .... a huge freaken' disappointment!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : What .... didn't you see him swerve the Un - Stable and tear Lucifer Jones to shreds?

Nathan Slater : (getting in Boone's face) You heard him! There he is ... going in to do battle for his honour ... and his "women's" honour ... "the fight of his life" .... and he has to call in every man and his dog to get involved in the match.

Jonathan Richards : Talk about a let down. We were lead to believe he was some sort of psycho not to be messed with ... not that we pay much attention to them reputations ... to us everyone else plays second fiddle ... but for him to turn his big moment of truth into that cluster of one ups manship ... its a disgrace!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : I cant believe what i am hearing!

Nathan Slater : Belive it kid. This guy rants and rave's ... about how he is going to do this ... and he is going to do that .... and then when push comes to shove ... and its time to back up the talk and walk the walk .... he brings in all these other guys to do his fighting for him ... i ask you ... what sort of bad ass is that?

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : ..............

Jonathan Richards : Exactly .... it aint enough that he cant protect his own women ... the guy cant even avenge her without help from others!

Nathan Slater : It comes down to this ... his "huge moment" ... became Cobryn's moment.

Jonathan Richards : Sure they outsmarted the Un-Stable and made a mockery of Hunglestein's big return ... but heck ... who couldnt?

Nathan Slater : High Maintenance debut > Hunglestein's return!

[Both members of High Maintenance have a chuckle.]

Gavin Slater : You know guys .... i think we need to get going ... before you say something you will regret ... Stein is not a man to be underestimated.

Jonathan Richards : Don't you worry about Stein ... you do your job and worry about us!

Didn't we tell ya we should be world champions ... Huh?

This whole last year ... what have we been saying ... and look at what happens when we take matters into our own hands .... walla ......

[Richards pats his belt on his shoulder.]

Don't get ahead of yourself Gavin ... you are here to do our bidding and nothing else ... we didnt bring you along to whine and bitch to us ... that is what we do to you ..... Stein .... Shmien!

Gavin Slater : Yeah ... i know ... and i am grateful that you's brought me along ... its just that i have seen him first hand ... and he is a dangerous man.

Nathan Slater : And we aint? We would gladly offer him and his new friend Cobryn a shot at "our" Hardkore Tag Team Titles ... except for the fact that half the dang fed would end a part of the match ... playing .... "swerve he dummies"!

Jonathan Richards : Dummies being the Un-Stable for you kiddies at home!

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Sorry to interrupt guys ... just thought i should point out that Domino isn't "technically" Steins women.

Nathan Slater : Huh? You not only interrupt us ... but also contradict us ... what are you ... crazy?

Jonathan Richards : Yeah! What do you mean not his "women"? Like any man could just hang with a hottie like that ... and "just be friends"

Former pro wrestling.com reporter Matt Boone : Well .... thats pretty much it ... they are just friends.

Nathan Slater : I don't believe you .... no one could handle spending "all" of that time with someone such as Domino ... and not be getting some!

Jonathan Richards : Unless .... Ahhhh .... it is all so clear to me now.

[Richards looks like he has had a revelation .... Gavin, Nathan and even Boone looking on waiting.]

The man can't even get it up!

No wonder he carries around that Peace Maker like some sort of pseudo dildo!

Nathan Slater : You mean Stein is a "limp dick"?

Jonathan Richards : You got it in one!

Nathan Slater : Ewwww! No wonder he needs all them boys to help him take out Jones.

Now it all makes sense ... its all coming together nicely ... i betcha every word Jones said was true ... that Bitch would of loved every second of it .... what ... hanging with a limp dick like Stein all them years who only wants to be "friends" .... cause he cant even get it up!

Jonathan Richards : She must of been gagging for it ... literally!

[Richards and Slater both chuckle again ... Boone and Gavin looking at them a bit uneasily.]

Nathan Slater : So ... lets wrap this up. Cobryn may of stole The Un-Stable and Dan Steins spotlight ... but ....

Jonathan Richards : But ... we stole the show ... not only with the greatest debut ever seen in Hardkore World winning the Tag Team titles ... but ...

Nathan Slater : But also stealing some spotlight of our own ....

Jonathan Richards : Thats right Bill!

Big ............ Bad .............. Bill!

Hardkore World Heavyweight Champion!

Needed good old High Maintenance to come out and raise him on our shoulders ... hoping a little of our magic would rub off on him!

Nathan Slater : How does it feel Bill to need the new Tag Team Champions to come out and help get you over as champion?

Don't like what we have to say ...

Jonathan Richards : Tough Shit! Get a tag team partner and come step up punk .... how about that sniveling Hall of Fame wannabe Rally Jackson?

[Richards looks intently to the camera.]

And that goes for anyone else there wanting to step up ..... you want a shot at these ... you got it ... find yourself a partner .... go through the appropriate channels ... and when your number is called .... hope to Christ some of what we got can rub off on YOU!

Scene fades tooooo ...............

[Soutter]

Scene opens up to the bathroom in the back ... "New Sensation" Nathan Slater and "Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards both at the urinal ... both pushing there flushers simultaneously and then also zipping up at the same time.

They both then move across to the basins and start washing their hands.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards : You know ... this is getting tiresome allready.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : I know it ... we're here for one match .... one match .... and allready we have conquered the whole Tag Division.

Jonathan Richards : At this rate .... they are going to have to start randomly pairing up guys ... not like its going to make a difference one way or the other. High Maintenance will come out on top whether they are two randomly thrown together galoo's or two men that have teamed together for years.

Nathan Slater : Heh ... we're allready onto the B teams. MVC 2 didn't even have the balls to come back for what was there's .... and instead we have to hook up with Andrew Karnage and his fill in ... the man who had the worst possible return to wrestling history known as Robert Hunglestein III. We would of seen a swerve like that coming a mile away.


Jonathan Richards : Either the stories were a load of crap ... or that man has lost a step in his absence.

Nathan Slater : Both more then likely ... and if he thinks its going to get any better here in Belfast he's stupider then he looks ... if thats possible.

Jonathan Richards : Now thats a toughie ... you did see what happened to them in Palm Springs ... im not sure anyone could look stupider then that .... but we'll find out come bell time.

Both men then turn the taps off and grab a handful of paper towel whipping there hands off.

Nathan Slater : Imagine the wound to that guys ego ... thinking he is making his "long awaited" return ... only to be the laughing stock of the entire Hardkore World. Heck ... i am willing to bet even Kilroy and Karnage must of been wondering what they had gotten themselves into following the events of Palm Springs Punishment.

Jonathan Richards : Idiots ... they get distracted by Hungledick and his hair brain schemes and end up totally overlooking us ... and look at the result.

Bathroom attendant hands the Hardkore World Tag Team Titles to High Maintenance who put them on their shoulders and walk past him ... neglecting to give him a tip ...

Nathan Slater : And now ... in his first "return" match ... he has to face little old us ... in some meaningless tag team match.

Jonathan Richards : Meaningless when you know you have no chance of winning .... maybe we should take some of this paper here to the ring with us ... let him dry his eye's after his big cry ..... (mocks Hungle) Why ohhh why am i stuck in a tag match ... i should be losing to Cobryn .... and Cyrus ... Bill didn't have anyone to put him over as World Champ ... i should be doing that .... and why ohhh why wouldn't i be given a chance at revenge on that cunt Stein for swerving and humiliating me ... i mean i know he and Lucifer Jones have the biggest fued going and are the hottest thing right now in Hardkore World ... apart from that hot new tag team poached over from SWAT ... but damn ... i thought i could steal some of that heat and make it mine ... instead i am left holding my dick in my hands ... and what a small dick it is .... ohhhh ... .whatever will i dooo ... boooo hoooo .... will i even be given the chance to rise to the top again .... i mean .... i have been back for a whole two minutes ... and given nothing ... how dare i be made to wait and work my way back up the ladder ....

Nathan Slater : (stopping in the hallway and talking with Richards) This is it big man ... if we stuff this one up .. .thats it for us .. .we'll go down in history as the biggest one hit wonders in Hardkore World history ... on the other hand .... we pull this one off and the sky's the limit.

Jonathan Richards : Today ... the world tag team championships .... tomorrow .... ummm ... is there even any higher for us to go?

Nathan Slater : Maybe in a year or two ... after we have been through each and every possible combination in the fed we might have to drop a few matches .... then we can be "multi" time tag champs.

Jonathan Richards : NOT TONIGHT! I'm putting them fagots in the dirt!

Richards flex's as the scene switches to ......

[Soutter]

Scene opens to show the tag team of High Maintenance standing in front of a Hardkore World banner. The "Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards is wearing a sleeveless red silk shirt ... his huge arms oiled up to the max .... the "New Sensation" Nathan Slater wearing the brand new High Maintenance t-shirt.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : Vanilla Ice!

"Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards : Kriss Kross!

Nathan Slater : The Knack!

Jonathan Richards : The Knack?

Nathan Slater : Yeah ... you know ... My Sharona!

Jonathan Richards : How could i ever forget.

Nathan Slater : Murry Head!

Jonathan Richards : Patrick Hernandez!

Nathan Slater : Good one!

Jonathan Richards : Born to be alive baby!

Nathan Slater : Toni Basil!

Jonathan Richards : What do all these people have in common. ONE HIT WONDERS! Here one day ... top of the world ... they jump on the scene in a blaze of glory ... soak up there day in the sun ... and then just as quick as they came ... they fade off into the sunset.

Nathan Slater : Never to be seen or heard from again. Much like many think will become of us after our unparalleled rise to the top of Hardkore World .... only to have them dirtbags in the Unstable send us crashing back down to earth.

Jonathan Richards : I dont think so. One hit wonders??? Not these two studs!

Richards poses.

Nathan Slater : You are looking at the greatest team ever to set foot inside a Hardkore ring ... we are the most dangerous duo since Mickey and Mallory .... and we have only just begun our careers here in Hardkore World.

Jonathan Richards : Them punks in the Unstable must be crazy if they think they can be rid of us that quick .... we were just starting to get attached to the tag belts ... and we will get them back ... one way or another.

Nathan Slater : Here us ... and here us now Hardkore World ... we want them belts back .... we dont care what you have to do to make it happen ... just make it happen. They don't call us High Maintenance for nothing ... we deserve the best ... and will accept nothing less.

Jonathan Richards : Now we have to go threw the Warhammer Corporation. What can we say about these punks that hasn't allready been said. Probably not much, but, what we can do is go out there and beat the holy hell out of them.

Nathan Slater : Like they have never been beaten before. Like only we can do.

Jonathan Richards : Warhammer Corp ... you gotta be kidding me. Thats not a match ... thats a tune up.

Nathan Slater : A tune up for what ... that you will have to wait and see! Dirtbags!

Double pose by the New Sensation and Rolls Royce.

Jonathan Richards : We'll put you in the DIRT!

Fade

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show to show a ladder set up in front of a Hardkore World Banner. "The New Sensation" Nathan Slater is sitting up on the top of the ladder ... "Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards half way up. Both are oiled up to the max ... and ohhh yeah ... The Hardkore World Tag Titles are draped on a rung of the ladder inbetween them.

Rolls Royce Jonathan Richards : G'Day Hardkore fans! High Maintenance here ... World Tag Team Champs ... again ... checking in!

New Sensation Nathan Slater : Yeah baby! Just like that ..... (New Sensation snaps his fingers) ... and what do you know .... (deep ring announcer voice) ..... TWO TIME CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOORLD!!!!

Jonathan Richards : So. Here we are. Proud new owners of the tag belts ... for the second time. And what do the former champs have to say about it?

Nathan Slater : Nothing! Them chumps are too concerned with who is holding who's hand to the ring this week ... and what they are calling themselves.

Jonathan Richards : While we can understand your disappointment at not being invited to join in with the hand holding ... and while we can admit that what you guys have said regarding it is mostly true.

Nathan Slater : Stupid twits ... you wanna know the worst thing about all this Society crap .... not Dan Stein laying his pride on the line for the better cause.

Slater makes a sour looking face ... yeah right.

Jonathan Richards : Not even the 999 segments leading up to the "Big Event".

Nathan Slater : And sure as hell not the whole freaking wrestling world talking about .... even us.

Jonathan Richards : No ... the worst thing to come of this mess ... is without a doubt ... Sexy Anj!

Nathan Slater : We knew there was something wrong with that girl the moment she choose stupid candle lite dinners with that Daniels doof over gang bangs with the World Champs.

Jonathan Richards : Yeah .... maybe she finally woke up to herself ... saw who she was associating with ... looked around and saw Stein who is no threat to her as he cant get it up ... and Cobryn who only notices a beautiful women if they are standing between him and a mirror.

Nathan Slater : I guess they forgot to tell her about Jones ...

Both members of High Maintenance have a chuckle.

Jonathan Richards : Anyway ... who cares about them tossa's. Karnage was right about one thing ... no matter what they say ... there is only one reason and one reason only they were formed ... so that Cobryn could be world champ ... he could care less about them or anyone else ....

Nathan Slater : Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Jonathan Richards : No ... not at all.

Nathan Slater : Hey ... think we should gloat a bit over our victory?

Jonathan Richards : Which one? Warhammer or getting these back?

Richards reaches over his head pointing to the World Tag titles.

Nathan Slater : Both took about the same amount of effort.

Jonathan Richards : Them clowns stuck in that cage didn't have a clue what was going on. Like taking candy from a baby.

Nathan Slater : Going back to the holding hands thing.

Jonathan Richards : SINCLAIR! I knew i smelled something fishy with his interference when we lost the titles ... but who's laughing now?

Nathan Slater : Not them ... they just tried the "swerve" game again ... and once again ... no one noticed.

Jonathan Richards : Sort of like Hunglows return!

Slater and Richards both chuckle again.

Nathan Slater : I give the Un stable until the end of the year ... tops ... before they fall apart at the seems.

Jonathan Richards : At the most ... how many times can they try and fail ... and how many times can we beat them until they cave in on each other.

Nathan Slater : These faggots tire me. All these teams cropping up yelling there names over and over and over .... like thats all it takes.

Jonathan Richards : Speaking of ...

Nathan Slater : Faggots or Hardkore World members constantly flooding the airways screaming there name at the top of there lungs ....

Jonathan Richards : One in the same. Thus ... speaking of .... i see our old sparring partners from SWAT are aligning here as well.

Nathan Slater : The Love Connection!

Jonathan Richards : Got it in one!

Nathan Slater : Ha ... i saw Syb has been given Triple B's shot at Hardkore Helloween.

Jonathan Richards : A fill in then is he?

Nathan Slater : Not in his eye's ... he's allready got one belt ... and is about to get another ... granted ... but then he really thinks the big one's are his for the taking as well ... next thing you know he'll be wanting a shot at our World Tag Team Titles as well.

Jonathan Richards : Ha ... not likely! Back of the que for the Love Connection!

Nathan Slater : They can go play with Rally & Cyrus, maybe Ashley and Alley .... Bill's very own Love Connection.

Jonathan Richards : Bill ... ugh ... fights his guts out to win the world strap ... and then loses it first night out.

Nathan Slater : You know why ... cause we weren't out there making him look good putting him on our shoulders again.

Jonathan Richards : There's another one playing the hand holding game and losing his title as a consequence.

Nathan Slater : And while we are on that game ... for the last and final time ... NO! .... we will not join your little group.

Jonathan Richards : You know who you are ... stop calling us .... we dont play that shit.

Nathan Salter : We are High Maintenance ... Hardkore World Tag Team Champions .... and we dont need nobody or nothing else!

Jonathan Richards : So piss off!

Scene fades to ......

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show the Tag Team Champions ... High Maintenance ... standing in the back in front of a Hardkore World banner ready to roll. Both men are heavily oiled up ... and there manager / SWAT attorney Gavin Slater is standing inbetween them both Tag titles sitting on his shoulders.

Gavin Slater : Hardkore World ... tonight ... my boys here step into the ring in one of the most dangerous matches there are ... a ladder match. Made twice as dangerous as its a tag match and there will be ladders everywhere.

We dont only have to keep one eye out for our opponents ... we also got to keep an eye out for incoming ladders.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : Not to mention having eye's in the back of our head for the 100 run ins and "swerves" that seem to happen every second match around here.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathan Richards : Yeah ... it seems the question isn't ... who will end up with the tag titles tonight .... or who will win the War Games ... but more ... who will "swerve" who.

Nathan Slater : Well ... we don't really care who's holding who's hand ... and as for who's getting swerved ... my money be on the Un Stable ... them jokers have cocked up every attempt to make an impact around here ... now being relegated to the what ... 4th stable in the pecking order?

Jonathan Richards : 4th? Hmm ... Society ... Legion X ... Dark Ryders .... yeah ... 4th sounds about .... wait .... hang on a second .... forgot the Cup Cake crew .... boy ... that makes them 5th!

Nathan Slater : 5th? HA! No wonder they are all crying and complaining about not being invited to the reformation of the Society.

Jonathan Richards : Hey Karnage! Kilroy! Want to know why you weren't invited to the dance? I'll tell you why! Hunglestein!

Nathan Slater : Thats right .... we have it on good authority that you guys would of been ... hell .. .you guys know you would of been first in the line. But what did you go and do?

Jonathan Richards : You broke the golden rule ... you associated yourself with a Hunglestein .... ACK! .... The worst crime possible in wrestling ... after that ...did you really think that Cobryn would allow you guys to have anything to do with him or the Society again?

Nathan Slater : Of course not! Proofs in the puddin.

Speaking of Puddin .... into the shot walks pimp collection broker "Puddin" Pop Jenkins.

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : Hello boys ... hand em over.

Nathan Slater : Hand what over! Gavin ... who the hell is this pimp looking mother fucker ... and what the hell is he doing in our promo?

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : I'm "Puddin" Pop Jenkins ... pimp collection broker. Hand em over. Hand em over now.

Jonathan Richards : (posing) Hand what over?

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : That tag belts ... the tag belts you stole.

Jonathan Richards : Ha! I dont think so. You want these belts ... your going to have to earn them ... just like we did.

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : I wont ask again ... hand them over ....

Gavin Slater : (trying to defuse the situation) ... Hang on a second here. Why do you want the belts .... did the Un Stable send you?

Nathan Slater : Whats wrong? They cant fight there own battles and have to send some jive talking pimp mother fucker?

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : Who sent me is my business .... confidential.

Gavin reaches into his wallet .... pulling out a wad of money.

Gavin Slater : Maybe we can discuss this?

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : (taking the wad of cash) ... Jonnie sent me ... he needs the belts so they can be suspended above the ring for the ladder match.

Gavin Slater : Ahh ... that sounds pretty reasonable to me.

The Rolls Royce and New Sensation grumble a little ... and then hand over the belts to "Puddin" Pop Jenkins.

Jonathan Richards : Say .... think you may be able to hook us up with a little action for after the show?

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins : Now your talking my brother. Consider it done.

"Puddin" Pop Jenkins leaves with the tag belts .... the Rolls Royce and New Sensation high fiving each other.

Jonathan Richards : We're gonna get laid!

Nathan Slater : I wonder if he has Sexy Anj on the pay roll ... that bitch still owes us a gang bang.

[Soutter]

SWAT ARIZONA

Scene opens up to show the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, a sign reading "Native Trails presented by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation". The 6'6 290 pound powerhouse "Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards and 6' 222 pound high flying "New Sensation" Nathan Slater look at the sign, then to each other, they both shrug and make there way in to check it out.



Jonathon Richards : This should be interesting.

Nathan Slater : Indian show? What the hell are we doing in this region again?

Jonathon Richards : I'm starting to wonder that myself. Is it hot here, or what?

Nathan Slater : Only going to get hotter as well from what i hear. Arizona, who in there right mind would want to run a promotion from this desert. Look at this, we got Indians on show, real life Tatanka Indians.

Jonathon Richards : If it wasn't for that fat contract we got for signing on, and the plush pad they are providing us with, as they well should, we aren't called High Maintenance for nothing after all.

Nathan Slater : Yeah, but dont forget, we could get just as much, if not more anywhere in the world. Japan, Britain, New York, Tennessee.

Jonathon Richards : New York ... they couldn't afford us!

Nathan Slater : Couldn't handle us either!

Both High Maintenance members have a good chuckle at each other, disrupting the show going on and generating some disapproval stares. This one particular old bat even goes so far as to pull her glasses down her nose and snort at them shaking her head.

Nathan Slater : (yelling) What you looking at?

The whole room then goes quite, her husband dragging her away from them to another room. Everyone looking at the New Sensation, who throws his hands up in the air as if to say, "get on with it", and the show goes back to normal.

Switch to High Maintenance standing by a stall with Indian food and drinks. Not no curries, this is Native American food. Jonathon Richards sculling down some sort of drink, we dont know what from a chalice.

Jonthathon Richards : I am the Lizard King! I can do anything!

Richards grabs another drink, passing it to Slater, both now sculling the drinks down, obviously getting quite inebriated.

Nathan Slater : (slurring his words) Hey Chief! What you put in this stuff?

Indian : Secret Indian recipe.

Jonathon Richards now very drunk wonders off towards the stage, where they are doing an ancient Indian dance, he jumps up on the stage with them, rips off his silk red shirt, flexes to the crowd, and starts dancing around with them, making some strange "wooo ... wooo ... wooo sound placing his hand on and off his mouth in them Indian dances we did as kids.

Everyone else stops dancing looking at this huge freak of a man on the stage. Muscles rippling from his torso.

Security quickly come up onto the stage asking Richards to leave, telling him he's had too much to drink. Slater jumps up to his tag team partners aid, drilling one of the guards with a Super kick. Richards then roars loudly, lifting the second security guard up in a gorilla press and tossing him into the crowd, right ontop of the old crone who looked down her glasses at them earlier.

Nathan Slater : Listen up!

We are High Maintenance!

And we are here to take over this piss hole region!

Jonathon Richards : You think them cowboys from the Alamo were something, wait until you get a load of us!

This is too much for the Indians, and they storm the stage, just as Police arrive, and we have a full blown riot on our hands as we fade with bodies flying everyone.

[Soutter]

Scene opens up to show High Maintenance sitting inside a prison cell. Slater is lounged relaxed on the top bunk bed, The huge Rolls Royce Jonathon Richards pacing back and forth like he's about to rip the bars clean off the wall. He could do that you know, just bend them like superman, if he really wanted to.

Jonathon Richards : Where is this meathead Uncle of yours allready!

Nathan Slater : He's on the way, shouldn't be much longer now.

Jonathon Richards : Better bloody not be! Being couped up in here like common criminals, its degrading, and below us.

Nathan Slater : Well, you did cause a riot back there at the Indian shindig.

Jonathon Richards : I don't even remember what happened, one minute I'm drinking that Indian home brew shit, next i have vague memories of being the Lizard king, and then nothing, blank.

Nathan Slater : Its potent stuff alright. What you seem to of forgotten is ripping your shirt off and jumping up on stage with them running around howling and mocking them, what a blast.

The New Sensation has a chuckle while Richards just keeps pacing.

Jonathon Richards : I tell you what, someones going to pay for this.

A jingle of keys is heard, and then a guard is seen coming to the cell, a well dressed man accompanying him. That being Gavin Slater, SWAT attorney and uncle of New Sensation Nathan Slater.

Jonathon Richards : SLATER! About god damned time!

New Sensation Nathan Slater flips off the top bunk to the floor landing on his feet.

Nathan Slater : What were you waiting for, Christmas?

Gavin Slater : You two boys created quite a stir, these things take time to clear up.

Jonathon Richards : Yeah, well while you were pushing that pen of yours, we were rotting in here!

Gavin Slater : Did you want to go home, or you want to sit here and complain some more?

Jonathon Richards : I want you to get us the hell out of here, and save the smart mouth for the courts, that lip don't fly with me. Be thankful i dont take your head off right here and now.

Richards barges past Gavin and the guard, they both look to each other and at the hot head, then Nathan swaggers past them as well, chuckling to himself that he is glad he's on his team. Shot then switches to a motel bar, all three men sitting at a booth.

Gavin Slater : So, you two boys got some big matches coming up.

Nathan Slater : You think? An Undertaker Mini and a some Roadblock for the big man. Please.

Gavin Slater : Don't take this mini lightly my nephew.

Nathan Slater : The Mini's are the worst thing that has happened to midget wrestling. I blame Doink and Dink. But whatever, one clown is as good as the next.

Gavin Slater : This one seems to think he has a good chance against you. Referred to you both as "Frat boys". Said you dont know how to spell your own name John.

The Rolls Royce slams his fist down on the table, clear knocking a chunk out of it. Then jumps to his feet.

JonathON Richards : SPELL? He wishes to tell me how to spell MY OWN NAME!

Richards looks down at the broken table, the rest of the bar is now dead quite, everyone looking towards them after the ruckus of breaking it.

Jonathon Richards : (to Gavin Slater) Take care of that.

Richards motions to the broken table then storms off.

Gavin Slater : Ugh, why do i always get stuck with these damage bills.

Nathan Slater : Because thats what you are paid to do Uncle of mine. Look after the talent.

The New Sensation looks into the camera.

And thats what we are ohhh Spooky Mini extraodinaire.

Frat boys.

Nathan scoffs.

Hardly. We were trained by The Suit himself. Hand picked and molded into wrestling machines.

We are former Hardkore World tag Team Champions, won the straps our very first match in the fed.

Then left shortly after, why, because we could. They dont call us High Maintenance for nothing. We are the best of the best. No cheap camera tricks or bodgy second rate productions are going to scare us boy. We have seen it all and done it all. Come Chase for the gold, its going to be just you and I in the ring, me, the high flying "New Sensation"! You, the mini dressed up like its Halloween.

There should be a rule around here Gavin, like at them fun parks, where you have to be a certain height to go on the rides.

Yeah, i like that, see to it will you.

Cause these midgets have no place in a wrestling ring. Let alone in the company of High Maintenance.

Nathan Slater then storms off also, Gavin left looking dismayed at the broken table as we fade out.

[Soutter]

Scene opens in a swish office. Both members of High Maintenance sitting on a long couch, at either end, a big gap inbetween them. Sitting across from them behind a big oak desk is a well dressed man, a close up of the name plate on his desk revealing the name "Dr Lou Natic".

Dr Lou Natic : So gentleman. What seems to be the problem.

Both men sit in silence, looking very uncomfortable with being there.

Dr Lou Natic : Ohhh ... another one of these meetings is it?

Both men cross there arms, glaring at the doc.

Dr Lou Natic : I know its hard guys, but you are obviously here because you both want to work out your problems, lets start there shall we. Why are you here?

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : Because we are his Uncle's (looks towards Nathan) meal ticket, and somehow we let him con us into thinking this would be a good idea!

Dr Lou Natic : And how do you feel about him talking that way about your Uncle, Nathan?

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : Everyone knows my uncle is a money grabbing swine, we accept this as fact, so long as he brings the big bucks in for us.

Dr Lou Natic : Ok, i think i understand. This is a very delicate case indeed, its a dirty business you guys are in, very few "partnerships" last the test of time.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : We know all about that, thats what makes us different, we are a true team.

Dr Lou Natic : If that is the case, then why are you here?

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : We told you quack, because somehow we got conned into it, if there's one thing the big man and i can agree on, its that we dont need no fruit getting all up inside our heads.

Dr Lou Natic : Fruit? Thats a bit unnecessary. I am sensing a lot of pent up aggression. Your calling me a "fruit" a perfect example, i really didn't know you people would refer to others as such, kind of like the "Negro's" calling each other "Nigga" all the time. I have done extensive research into these things ....

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : (standing to his feet) HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU IMPLYING!

Dr Lou Natic : Before we can get anywhere, we need to get everything out in the open. Lets try from another angle, positive re-enforcement. See if a few compliments cant change the mood of this meeting, i want you both to let me know something about the other that makes you love them so much ... lets start with you Jonathon ... what is it about Nathan that attracts you to him so much?

Richards and Slater look to at each other in shock .. Richards explodes, jumping to his feet and tipping the quacks table over, before lifting him off his feet with two handfuls of expensive jacket and tie, and putting him up against the wall.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : WHAT_THE_FUCK?

There is a framed letter on the wall up beside where Richards has the doc pinned, which reads ... "Dr Lou Natic : Certified Marriage counselor" ... Richards notices it, drops the quack to the floor in a heap and pulls it off the wall reading it out loud.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : MARRIAGE COUNSELOR?

Slater snaps before Natic can reply and splatters his jaw with a soccer kick right to the jaw, blood splattering all over the wall.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : We ain't no god damned faggots Doc! We are wrestlers! Tag Team wrestlers!

Dr Lou Natic : (squirming on the floor covering up, blood dripping from his busted mouth) Stop! Please! You's were booked to see me!

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : Fucken Gavin I'll kill him!

Richard boots the doc in frustration

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : Cheap bastard, this is almost as humiliating as losing to Spooky Doom!

Nathan lands a boot into the doc's mid section for emphasis about losing to a mini.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : What the hell was that ref thinking sending me away from ringside! They will realize around here one way or another, that we are High Maintenance, and we wont stand for that shit!

Richards plants a boot into the doc as well.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : We don't need any stupid quack! So what if we got a little heated in the penalty box match, every man for himself, we both know that, this is stupid!

Boots the doc again.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : We'll, come SWATTIVERSARY, we are back in tag team action. Going up against the "best" the rest of SWAT has to offer. The prize, a World Tag Team Title match.

Richards lays into the doc with another boot, he is now huddled up in the corner.

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : The Hellhounds (boots the doc) Dave McIntyre and Killer (boots the doc again) and Dew and Matt Myers (boots he doc again, heh).

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : Hellhounds Vs High Maintenance then!

Another boot to the doc, poor bastard

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : What about them Drunken Phone Call Fucks! Double chair shot to High Maintenance! (boots the doc)

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : Mother Fuckers! (boots the doc again.)

The doc goes into spasms, like he is having a fit or something, convulsing.

"Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards : Jesus Nathan, what did you do to him?

"New Sensation" Nathan Slater : Me?! Come on, lets get out of here!

Scene fades with both members of High Maintenance making a hasty retreat.

[Soutter]

Hardkore World : Puerto Rico





Scene opens up on the tag team of High Maintenance. "The New Sensation" Nathan Slater and "The Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards. Both are decked out in expensive slacks and long silk shirts, Richards red shirt and Slater pink, both cut off at the sleeve's and both unbuttoned to show off there impressive bodies, both are momentarily flexing for the camera. They are set as above, 'Ruins of San Antonio de La Tuna' - Isabela, Puerto Rico.

As is there wont, both are extremely oiled up, the sun glistening off there tanned torso's. Richards is a bull of a man, muscles bulging all over his body. Slater more toned then ripped, but still very muscular, very athletic looking.

Nathan Slater : So, back to Hardkore World.

Jonathon Richards : Looks that way. Some bum put the cash out, turns out he wants to establish Hardkore here in Puerto Rico, and who better to build your fed around then High Maintenance.

Nathan Slater : The goose doesn't know what he's got himself into signing us, we are gonna run through his fed and this third world country like a hot knife threw butter!

Richards : You know what i like about these kangaroo countries .... no laws. Not that we ever worried about that anyways ... but here ... throw them a $20 and you can get away with anything.

Slater : Its been a while since we got in the ring ... this is very timely.

Richards : Timely indeed ... I have had the urge to hurt someone for the longest time ... finally we get to break some bones.

Slater : How long you give this dump of a fed to last big guy?

Richards : Who cares ... we got a two year contract ... they can close down in two weeks or two months, we get Paid_In_Full!

Slater : Gotta love my Uncle Gavin, he sure knows how to write a contract.

Richards : Just so long as thats what he does for us and doesn't start nagging us again.

A breeze blows threw the ruins, flapping the open shirts of High Maintenance, both flexing there abs as if on instinct.

Slater : (to the camera) Our first match in Hardkore World, we won the World Tag Team Championships. Our FIRST match .... The_World_Belts. We are the greatest tandem to ever set foot in a Hardkore Ring, any ring for that matter.

Richards : We are the most dangerous duo since Mickey and Mallory hooked up. We bust heads in the ring, and bust balls out of it.

Slater : They dont call us High Maintenance for nothing, we make Paris Hilton look like Julie Andrews.

Richards : We dont care about our fellow workers, or this dump of a fed. We care about two people, and your looking at them.

Slater : And look at this first show ... a "small house show" ... you can book the smallest or biggest arena's in this shithole of a country, it matters not to us, the price is the same, whether its in front of 100 people or 100,000. Which we can draw in a heartbeat.

Richards : We won the Hardkore World Straps in our first ever match in this fed ... and WE WANT THEM BACK!

Slater : Get us a shot, or we will take out your entire roster ... one by one ... starting with Dragon Belt and his Goth sidekick.

Richards : And for the record, while we are the greatest tag team in the history of the sport, we can also work singles matches. No way you have enough tag teams here to feed us, while beating Dragon Belt and Goth is gonna be a lot of fun, its going to get old real fast. So dont forget us when the singles belts come on the line ... or else!

Richards and Slater give a double pose, there oiled up bodies shinning like Greek gods of old.

[Soutter]

The lights in the Jose "Buga" Abreu Coliseum Arena go down and Massive Attacks Unfinished Sympathy (instrumental version) hits. "The Rolls Royce" Jonathon Richards and "The New Sensation"Nathan Slater both make there way out to the ramp way. Each have navy blue wrestling trunks on with HM in red on them. They are wearing silk shirts with the sleeves cut off and are wearing about a gallon of oil each, there muscle's glistening in the spotlights.

They make there way down to the ring, taunting the fans as they go, Slater enters the ring with a springboard, Richards steps over the top rope.

Slater : Look at all these stinking Puerto Rican refugee's! Wait, your not even refugee's. This big man .... (Slater motions to the crowd) ... is the filth afraid to sneak into the States.

Richards : Parasites! The lot of ya!

The crowd is hot ... and Richards and Slater revel in taunting them for a good 30 seconds. Jumping up on the turnbuckles and motioning them to "come right in"

Slater : Shut up! You piss ants paid well earned money to come see us ... actually ... well earned may be stretching it ... unless you call the Paso's a week welfare "well earned".

Richards : We could buy each and everyone of you ... 20 times over! In fact ... (towards a young teenager in the front row) ... we allready bought your mother and sister last night ... what a tag team they were!

Slater : Enough of this. Tonight we got a match. A match against a man called Dragon Belt and his partner ... Psychotic Goth. Is that right?

Richards : I believe so. One wears a mask and thinks he's a martial arts super hero ... the other is at war with the establishment's rules and regulations.

Slater : (rolling his eye's) The poor boy who's daddy never loved him enough. Woe am i, my second ps2 in the play room broke when i accidentally threw it in a hissy fit and my mamma wont get it fixed. Mr nothing is my fault and lets blame the world for my own laziness and total inability to do anything that really matters.

Richards : Them whining brats make me sick! You wanna make something with your life ... look no further then the two of us! Do you think you get to look (double pose, these two love to pose) ... and act like this ... getting our mothers to do everything for us ... and blaming them for all of our downfalls. Well ... if we had any downfalls that is.

Slater : The dweb thinks its "cool" to see his own blood. He is going to be having the time of his life tonight then.

Richards : You got that right! He is going to bleed buckets! Both of them ... i swear, if i hear Dragon Belt flap his gums one more time about how great his opponent is, and how it will be an honour to step in the ring with him ... i think im going to puke! Get this straight Dragon belt ... its no honour for you stepping in the ring with us ... its the worst possible thing you could of hoped for.

We are not the "so called" team of High Maintenance! We ARE the team of HIGH MAINTENANCE!

It is not a name given to us to sell wrestling tickets ... it is our life! We live this way ... because_we_can!

Every promoter in the world wants a piece of us! We know it ... and they know it! We have no loyalty to anyone but ourselves .. .and readily admit it! If we dont get what we want here .. there is a dozen other places waiting to cater to our every desire ... our each and every whim.

Slater : And you want to know who else knows it ... the knucklehead in the back signing our paychecks. We are tag team specialists ... the best in the business!

About the only thing you got right is that you referred to yourself's as underdogs. Bravo ... ten points for stating the freaken obvious!

Massive Attacks Unfinished Sympathy (instrumental version) hits again ... and the pair go into a full on posing routine. the oily bodies glowing under the spot lights like two ancient Greek gods. The larger man, Richards bulging from every muscle ... Slater more toned and chiselled.

[Soutter]

The scene opens up to show Castle De High Maintenance.



Yes, thats right. Castle, De High Maintenance. We are in Europe, and they have rented out the most stunning and extravagant Castle they could find. Its exact location in Europe, they ain't gonna tell you swine.

We zoom in to see both members, "The Rolls Royce" and larger of the two Jonathon Richards and the "New Sensation" Nathan Slater both perched on the top balcony. Its a cold day in Europe, overcast, but you wouldn't know it the way these two have there silk shirts open showing off there heavily oiled up bodies.

Richards : So ... this is Europe.

Slater : (looks around the castle and beautiful view surrounding them) ... I think we are going to like it here.

Richards : Lets face it, it couldn't be any worse then Puerto Rico, when we made that jerk off promoter pay up front for our two year contract, i knew he wouldn't see it to term, but i was hoping for at least 'one' match.

Slater : Was never going to happen. The guy couldn't organize a root in a brothel, let alone run a wrestling promotion. But when they are throwing around cash like it was going out of fashion, who really cares.

Both men flex as if on cue.

Richards : So, here we are. Sunny Europe, and where are we off to first, Madrid Spain for a battle royal. The winner to be named the inaugural European Heavyweight Champion.

Slater : The deal is, we get split into four rings, the winner of each ring then meeting in a four way, the last man standing in that ring is the winner and champ.

Richards : Lets hope then we are in separate rings, we win both, and have double the chance of bringing the belt to High Maintenance.

Slater : Double 100% is still 100%. Just like all these god awful wretched grots chances in this. Ten million times ZERO chance, is still ZERO chance.

Richards : Where the hell did he find some of these guys. Little Tokyo II? Midgets don't belong in our ring.

Slater : Ain't that the truth, hey Tokyo, wanna sneak preview of what happens to a midget that gets in our ring? Go look up what happened to Spooky Doom when he crossed our paths.

Richards : How about this guy ... Bryan Warrior ... Jim Helwig eat your heart out.

Slater : Are Jonny and Trevor B related? Or is there two families that can't spell there first name and so have to just use the first letter?

Richards : Tsai Jingkai? Who the hell is Tsai Jingkai?

Slater : No idea. $10 bucks says he dont show up anyhows.

Richards : Your on.

The both shake on it, then of course, flex mid hand shake.

Slater : What about Ishan Goldenfire?

Richards : A mix breed native Indian and curry muncher Indian.

Slater : He'll do well munching that curry with no teeth he is unfortunate enough to get lumped in one of our rings.

Richards : The rest of you. You all know who WE are.

And we know who all of YOU are.

You are the same old guys. Striving to make your mark ... somewhere ... anywhere.

As long as its different.

Different to where you have been plodding and failing, just waiting for your big break.

Slater : Us .. .we don't wait. We do!

We won the Hardkore World Tag Team titles our debut match!

When we want something ... we take it!

And we want that European Heavyweight Strap.

Another double flex, boy that oil extenuates every muscle, just how much do they use?

Richards : We are here to show the world that we are not just the best tag team in the world, but the greatest wrestlers period. Be it tag team or singles ... we leave the competition in our wake.

Slater : We are not called High Maintenance as some marketing ploy. Its what we are. We are hard to deal with, we get heat backstage because we dont wait in line. And we_dont_care.

Richards : We make Paris Hilton look like a Stepford wife!

Slater : We are High Maintenance ... The Rolls Royce Jonathon Richards ... as strong as 100 men and as powerful as anyone this business has ever seen.

Richards poses.

Richards : The New Sensation .. he can do things in that ring others can only dream of. Fly thru the air like Michael Jordan ... tie you up in knots on the mat ... quicker then Wesley Snipes in Major League. This man is a technician in the ring, he can do it all.

Slater poses.

Slater : Separately we are the two most gifted athletes to step foot in a Hardkore Ring ... combined we are unstoppable!

Richards : The rest of you seat warmers out there, start hoping, praying you aren't in one of our rings ... then you can at least hope to 'win your prelim match' ... the rest of you chuckleheads ... who may of been hoping that we were going to be strictly tag team specialists ... go look for another region ... cause we ain't fighting Tum Tum and Shootfighter week in week out ... no matter how many Euro's these bean counters throw at us.

Scene fades with another oiled up double flex poses.

[Soutter]

We open once again to Castle De High Maintenance. Yes, yes. We aren't going to do every promo from this breathe taking location, we will be travelling all over Europe, but this is our 'European Base' after all.



Besides, whats the point of having your own castle if you dont make use of it, we see that Goth boy and Vampira had no problem running out to get one of there own, right after we did.

The Team of High Maintenance are this time in there billiard room. This castle is top of the line, and the pool room no different, allready decked out in memorabilia. Framed Photo's of them lining the walls. There Hardkore World Tag Team Championship belts also up there. They are both oiled up to the max, and both wearing unbuttoned silk shirts cut off at the sleeves.

Nathan Slater : (sinking a red ball) ... Can you believe the gumption of this Jonny B cat Jono? Eric Herrera? Ha! That Galah couldn't last 30 seconds in the ring with me.

Jonathon Richards : Did he allude you stole his moniker? And even worse ... does that mean Herrera is running around using YOUR name?

Nathan Slater : I'll kill him!

Slater powers the black ball into the top corner pocket, there butler quickly grabbing it and putting it back on the table.

Jonathon Richards : Forget Herrera, he's a perpetual no one. We saw him fly in and out of the doors at SWAT, couldn't win a match. Same at UCW i believe. Although he seems to be having more success over at High Voltage Womens Association.

Nathan Slater : UGH! Let me get this right, this numbskull Jonny B walks around a womens federation like he is King Dick, wins a few titles and thinks the whole god damned world revolves around him. How could it! When its a common fact that it revolves around US!

Slater chips another red into the middle pocket, setting the black up perfectly, he then drills that as well.

Jonathon Richards : (beginning to look irritated with Slater getting all these shots in) .... Its beyond comprehension .. he battles girls for the championship ... GIRLS!

Nathan Slater : There is no girl in this world who can beat me!

They cant beat me in race!

Slater pockets another red ball.

They cant beat me in a battle of strength!

Slater sinks the pink ... he likes sinking the pink.

They cant beat me in a battle of wits!

The New Sensation cracks another red in, like a cannon.

They sure as heck cant beat me in the wrestling ring!

Slater turns face on into the camera.

Listen up Jonny B, and listen good!

This isn't where i give you the whole ... 'your walking into my fed routine' ... NO NO!

This isn't where i tell you ... 'your not facing women around here anymore' .... because look at the roster, while i know there is no way in hell any women can beat me, i know full well they probably could beat more then half of these schmucks.

This isn't even where i ... 'threaten your life'

NO!

This is where i .... wish you luck! Thats right meat ax.

See, I am man. Not some whinnying bitching crying skirt. I handle things in the ring. Like a MAN!

If you can beat me, well best of luck to you, I have no fear of that happening.

After the match, i will be more then happy to point you down the block ... that way ... DIVA's Unleashed! I'm sure you'll fit right in!

So i say to you, in good sportsmanship and MANO TO MANO ...

Good luck.

Jonathon Richards : Your gonna need it!

Both members of High Maintenance give a double flex pose and then move back to there game as the scene fades.
