Backstage
The Riot Act
[Backstage in the office of P:V COO JD James, the atmosphere is tense as JD James sits behind his desk, a stern expression etched on his face. Standing before him is Boyd Jackson, the rebellious and unpredictable wrestler, a smirk playing on his lips.]
JD James: “Boyd, let me make this crystal clear. I’ve had it up to here with your antics. You’ve been causing chaos left and right, and it ends now.”
[Boyd Jackson leans casually against the wall, his arms crossed defiantly.]
Boyd Jackson: “Oh, is that so, JD? And what are you gonna do about it, huh? You gonna slap me with another ban? ‘Cause we both know how well that worked out last time.”
[JD James narrows his eyes, his patience wearing thin.]
JD James: “Listen up, Boyd. You may think you’re untouchable, but let me remind you of something. You lay a finger on Mendoza, Jones, or Robles before the PPV, and you’re out. No second chances, no excuses. You’ll be fired on the spot.”
[Boyd’s smirk widens into a grin, his eyes gleaming with mischief.]
Boyd Jackson: “Is that a threat, JD? ‘Cause it sounds more like a challenge to me. But hey, don’t worry your pretty little head about it. I’ve got plans for those boys, and trust me, they ain’t gonna see it coming.”
[With a nonchalant shrug, Boyd turns on his heel and saunters out of the office, leaving JD James fuming behind his desk. As the door swings shut, the tension in the room hangs thick in the air, foreshadowing the chaos yet to come.]
Backstage
Motive? Pt.1
[Backstage in the chaotic halls of the arena, security personnel rush towards a commotion, their footsteps echoing against the concrete floor. As they arrive at the scene, they find The Legends Club, comprised of P:V Champion Curtis Knight, Athena, Drew Hendrix, and Buzz Marshall, standing over the fallen figure of Darrel Robles, who is being mercilessly beaten.]
Security Guard: “Hey, hey, what’s going on here? Break it up!”
[The security guards quickly intervene, attempting to pull the members of The Legends Club away from Robles, but their efforts are met with resistance as the assailants continue their assault.]
Curtis Knight: “Back off! This is none of your business!”
[As security struggles to regain control, whispers and murmurs ripple through the gathered bystanders, speculating on the reason behind the attack.]
Fan #1: “Why are they going after Robles like that?”
Fan #2: “Maybe Robles crossed them somehow? Or maybe they’re just trying to send a message.”
Fan #3: “I heard Robles was talking trash about Knight’s title reign. Maybe he pushed them too far.”
[Amidst the chaos and confusion, the true motive behind The Legends Club’s sudden aggression remains a mystery, leaving everyone on edge and fueling speculation as to what might have prompted such a brutal assault on Darrel Robles.]
Tag Team Match
Power Ryse vs The Ordinary Gentlemen
Ringside
Power Ryzing
[The bell rings and the fans’ loud roar of approval provides accompaniment. In the ring Jakucho and Setsuna look at each other and smile in great satisfaction. Both women are drenched in sweat and do those best to shake off the bumps and bruises they took during the contest. Chiaki, of course, has her mic at the ready.]
Chiaki: Your winners, <Television Champion Akechi Jakucho and Emerald Dragon Kojima Setsuna> POWEEEEER RYYYYSEEEE!
[Setsuna throws her arms up on the air, all her worries washed away with the satisfaction of victory. Jakucho meanwhile climbs a turnbuckle and lifts up the Television Championship while the crowd cheers louder. Only after playing to the crowd does she hop down and high five Setsuna.]
[The pair exit the ring and make their way up the entrance ramp. En route to the back Setsuna slaps a few outstretched hands. Jak pays them no attention and is first to step through the curtain. Setsuna stops just short of exiting to take a bow. She then exits the stage to chants of POW-ER RYSE!]
[We then immediately switch to a backstage feed where Elena Cruz at the ready with a mic. Jak, Setsuna and Chiaki all shuffle into a tighter formation to fit on screen.]
Elena Cruz: Ladies, that was an impressive display of tag team wrestling out there! How does it feel to get that first team win tonight?
[Jakucho shoots a glance at her younger tag team partner, to which Setsuna nods casually. At that Jakucho smiles confidently, giving the Emerald Dragon a firm pat on the shoulder.]
Jakucho Akechi: <It feels good to be right. I told the whole world that Power Ryse will be a force to be reckoned with in Project: Violence. This first win proves we’re not just a rising power but the most dangerous unit anywhere in this family of companies. Tonight’s just the beginning.>
[She leans forward and directs her smoldering gaze directly at the audience.]
Jakucho Akechi: <The Ordinary Gentlemen found out that we are extraordinary, and we’re only going to get stronger in the weeks to come. Add them to the pile of hairy old men who stepped up to Jakucho-sama and were sent right back to the old folks home where they belong! With Setsuna-san at my side I’m going to liberate Project: Violence from the chains of tradition no matter who stacks the odds against the Revolution.>
[She taps the Television Championship resting on her shoulder.]
Jakucho Akechi: <Rabid wooly mammoths, queens, grandpas who don’t understand my evolution, so-called Legends? Every last one falls as we rise. Even guys who prove themselves to be an ace and would otherwise be our ally. Anyone who gets in the way gets burned away! I can see a bright future ahead where Power Ryse leads the way for Project: Violence with more gold than just me as your Television Champion. It’s only a matter of time.>
[She nods impishly and her partner glances over at Elena. The backstage interviewer waits patiently for the built young woman to speak, but it takes a nudge from Chiaki to spur her into action.]
Setsuna Kojima: <My mom and Kojima Bison-san were one of the most dominant and decorated tag teams in Japan. I always wondered what they felt when they found success together. Tonight I felt a little bit of that.>
[That sad look whenever she talks about the pair returns in force. None the less, she manages a smile full of youthful ambition.]
Setsuna Kojima: <It makes my heart burn with passion, and I feel a little bad about that. Because now I want even more of it, and I’ll batter anyone who stands in our way to satisfy that selfish desire. I promised Bison-san and the world that I would become a champion->
[She hesitates to finish her thought, but only a little.]
Setsuna Kojima: <And I would love to earn my first championship alongside Akechi-san. If we become tag team champions, we’ll bring honor to the Power Ryse name just as Bison-san would want. I’m going to keep that promise no matter what crazy feats of strength I have to pull off.>
[She flexes a bicep for emphasis to cheers from the live crowd. Jakucho meanwhile chats with Chiaki in hushed tones.]
Elena Cruz: With that win in the books, what’s next for Power Ryse?
[Setsuna glances to her stablemates, who continue their clandestine discussion. Seeing they’re occupied, Setsuna takes the opportunity to show off her wristbands. One is blue, the other gold.]
Setsuna Kojima: <The Emerald Dragon will continue to fight all comers! No matter who I fight, I have pieces of mom and Bison-san with me. With their costumes mixed with mine, I’ll show the world why they should Believe in Setsuna.>
[Jak finally focuses back on the camera and flashes a Cheshire smile.]
Jakucho Akechi: <I have the silent goon and his b-movie raver girl mouthpiece coming for me, but I’ll get to them soon enough. For now, loyal lilies, I want you to know that you can own more exclusive Power Ryse merchandise.>
[On cue Chiaki holds up a pair of toy versions of Setsuna and Jak in one hand, and a photo book with Jak posing seductivelu in the other.]
Jakucho Akechi: <Right now on Jaku-do.com you can place a pre-order for the official action figures of Jakucho-sama and Setsuna-san. My hot, extra limited edition photo book, Garden of Glass, is also available for pre-order. You’ll. Red to hurry, though, because my loyal lilies are so wonderful and dedicated that it’ll sell out fast. Order by midnight tonight and your copy will include an autograph and a special message from me just. For. You.>
[She blows a kiss and winks at every single lady watching Project: Violence. A beat later Chiaki steps up and grins.]
Chiaki: Together, our power is immeasurable.
Setsuna Kojima: <Together our power is going to change the world!>
Jakucho Akechi: <Together, we are->
Power Ryse: POWER RYSE!
[We can hear a few fans in the crowd join in as the trio finish their motto. As the scene fades Chiaki waves the action figures and photo book. Jakucho kicks her lips suggestively. Setsuna smiles proudly.]

Zac Brindle: “What a victory for James Mendoza here tonight, Johnny! He’s proven once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in Project:Violence!”

Zac Brindle: “Oh no, it looks like The Legends Club isn’t finished yet tonight! They’re targeting James Mendoza!”
Johnny Kaos: “This doesn’t look good, Zac. Mendoza’s just coming off a hard-fought victory, and now he’s in the crosshairs of The Legends Club!”
[As The Legends Club reaches the ring, they waste no time in launching a coordinated attack on Mendoza. However, before they can inflict any damage, a swarm of referees rushes down the ramp, desperately trying to intervene and separate the brawling factions.]
Zac Brindle: “Referees are flooding the ring, trying to break up this volatile situation!”
Johnny Kaos: “But the question remains, Zac: why are The Legends Club targeting James Mendoza? What could be driving this sudden aggression?”

Zac Brindle: “Here comes Darwin Jones, Johnny! The fans are on their feet, eagerly anticipating what promises to be an incredible match against Dutch Ramirez!”
Johnny Kaos: “Jones is always a crowd favorite, Zac, and tonight is no exception! But wait, what’s happening now?”
[Before Jones can even reach the ring, a sudden shift in the atmosphere sends a ripple of tension through the arena. The unmistakable presence of The Legends Club looms large as Curtis Knight, Athena, Drew Hendrix, and Buzz Marshall emerge from the backstage area, their expressions hardened and determined.]
Zac Brindle: “Oh no, not again! The Legends Club is back, and they’re heading straight for Darwin Jones!”
Johnny Kaos: “This is unbelievable, Zac! Jones hasn’t even had a chance to step into the ring, and already he’s being targeted by The Legends Club!”
[With lightning speed, The Legends Club descends upon Jones, launching a vicious assault before he can even mount a defense. The crowd’s cheers turn to gasps of shock and dismay as Knight, Athena, Hendrix, and Marshall rain down blows upon the helpless competitor.]
Zac Brindle: “This is despicable, Johnny! The Legends Club showing once again that they have no regard for fair competition or sportsmanship!”
Johnny Kaos: “Absolutely disgraceful, Zac! Jones is defenseless against this onslaught, and the fans are left wondering: why? Why is The Legends Club targeting Darwin Jones in this brutal fashion?”
[As the attack continues unabated, officials rush to the scene, desperately trying to intervene and put an end to the merciless assault. Meanwhile, the fans watch in stunned silence, their confusion growing with each passing moment as The Legends Club’s motives remain shrouded in mystery.]

The Answer
[Backstage, the dimly lit corridor buzzes with activity as Dutch Ramirez strides purposefully, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of his adversary, Puck. Suddenly, a shadow looms behind him, and before Ramirez can react, he’s blindsided by a vicious blow to the back.]
Dutch Ramirez: [gritting his teeth in pain] “Ugh!”
[Puck emerges from the shadows, a malicious grin on his face as he stands over Ramirez, who struggles to regain his composure.]
Puck: [tauntingly] “Looking for me, Dutchy? Well, here I am.”
[Dutch Ramirez slowly rises to his feet, his gaze fixed on Puck, a mixture of anger and determination flashing in his eyes.]
Dutch Ramirez: [clenching his fists] “You coward! Answer me, Puck! Are you accepting my challenge for our match at the PPV?”
[Puck smirks, reveling in Ramirez’s frustration before delivering a chilling response.]
Puck: [leaning in close] “Oh, I accept, Dutchy. And mark my words, at the PPV, I’ll make sure you regret ever crossing paths with me.”
[With a menacing chuckle, Puck delivers a final blow to Ramirez before sauntering off, leaving Ramirez seething with determination as he vows to settle the score in the ring.]

Motive? Pt.3
[Backstage, in a dimly lit corridor of the arena, Boyd Jackson finds himself surrounded by the formidable members of The Legends Club. Curtis Knight, Athena, Drew Hendrix, and Buzz Marshall stand ominously, their presence casting a shadow over Jackson as he braces himself for what may come.]
Curtis Knight: “Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. You’re a hard man to track down, Boyd.”
[Jackson maintains a calm demeanor, meeting Knight’s gaze with a steely resolve.]
Boyd Jackson: “I’m right where I need to be, Knight. You done what’s agreed?”
[Athena steps forward, her eyes narrowing as she addresses Jackson with a hint of suspicion.]
Athena: “We did our part, now time for you to deliver on yours.”
[Jackson nods slowly, a sly grin spreading across his face as he sizes up The Legends Club.]
Boyd Jackson: “Athena, don’t worry, I’m a man of my word. And I intend to make Garcia regret ever crossing paths with The Legends Club.”
[Drew Hendrix steps forward, his expression unreadable as he regards Jackson with a hint of skepticism.]
Drew Hendrix: “And what makes you think we can trust you, Boyd? You’ve got a reputation for looking out for number one.”
[Jackson’s grin widens as he extends his hand toward Knight, a gesture of goodwill and alliance.]
Boyd Jackson: “Because I’m a man who knows when to pick his battles, Hendrix. And tonight, our interests align. Consider it a show of good faith.”
[After a moment’s hesitation, Knight clasps Jackson’s hand firmly, sealing the pact between them. The tension in the air eases slightly as the members of The Legends Club exchange nods of agreement.]
Curtis Knight: “Fair enough, Boyd. Consider us allies for now. But don’t let me down.”
[With a nod of acknowledgement, Jackson turns and strides away, leaving The Legends Club behind as they exchange knowing glances. Tonight, their focus is singular: to make Adam Garcia pay for crossing The Legends Club.]

Contenders
[Backstage, Elena Cruz stands ready with her microphone, preparing to interview the Masters of the Mat, Iron Mike Donovan and Gentleman George Lancaster. The seasoned tag team duo appears confident and determined as they step into the frame.]
Elena Cruz: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the Masters of the Mat, Iron Mike Donovan and Gentleman George Lancaster. Last week, you had some choice words for the Tag Team Champions, the Starr Brothers. Can you shed some light on your feelings going into tonight’s match?”
Iron Mike Donovan: “Elena, last week was a wake-up call for the Starr Brothers. We laid it out plain and simple: they may hold the gold, but they lack the respect and integrity befitting true champions.”
Gentleman George Lancaster: “Indeed, Iron Mike. The Starr Brothers may have dismissed us as mere contenders, but tonight, they’ll learn that underestimating the Masters of the Mat is a grave mistake.”
Elena Cruz: “Strong words indeed. What’s your strategy going into your match against Drew Hendrix and Buzz Marshall tonight?”
Iron Mike Donovan: “Our strategy is simple, Elena. We’ll rely on our decades of experience, our technical prowess, and our unwavering determination to secure victory. Tonight, we’ll show the entire P:V universe why we’re the rightful challengers to the Tag Team Championships.”
Gentleman George Lancaster: “Absolutely, Iron Mike. We’re not just here to compete; we’re here to dominate. The Starr Brothers may be champions for now, but their reign ends soon.”
Elena Cruz: “There you have it, folks. The Masters of the Mat are ready to prove themselves tonight in their quest for tag team gold. Back to you.”
[As the interview concludes, the Masters of the Mat exchange a confident nod before heading off, their focus unwavering as they prepare to make a statement in the ring.]

Obsession
[Masafumi Satake knocks on the office door of JD James with Dash Diaz close behind. The two are both donning gym clothes after a hard-fought victory over Rebel Society. The Project: Violence COO waves them into the office and motions the duo to take a seat.]
JD James: “Look who it is! The new hottest tag team in Project: Violence! I love what you guys are accomplishing out there!”
[James is the master manipulator. He absolutely knows why Satake has come to his office, and is simply trying to deflect. Surprisingly, Dash Diaz speaks up first.]
Dash Diaz: “Mr. James – we appreciate the compliments, but there is something that my partner here needs to get off of his chest. We realize that we’re on a hot streak, but there is a score that Masa’ needs to settle…”
[Satake nods respectfully towards Diaz.]
Masafumi Satake: “Thanks, brother. There is only one thing on my mind, and that’s finishing things off with Hate Watson. I’ve voiced my concerns on this already, but exiling Watson to Japan is only going to make things worse. I promise that I can put a stop to his reign of terror… forever.”
JD James: “Let’s focus on the present, Masa’! You boys have two wins in a row now!”
Masafumi Satake: “I understand what you’re trying to do here, but it’s not going to work on me. This has to end now.”
JD James: “Listen. Hate should be in your rear view mirror. He’s gone from Project: Violence. We can all breathe a sigh of relief. I realize this isn’t what you want to hear, but it’s time to move on.”
Masafumi Satake: “This obsession is not going to just disappear.”
[Satake came to Project: Violence to cement his legacy in the world of professional wrestling. His journey was terribly sidetracked by Hate Watson. Only full discouragement surrounds Masafumi Satake.]
JD James: “I can’t solve that problem for you, but what I can do is award you both with an opportunity. Next week, I’m going to have you two go up against the undefeated Masters of the Mat for the #1 Contender for the P:V Tag Team Championships. Winner gets a shot at the Ascension PPV on March 30th!”
[Diaz is clearly excited, while Satake exhales deeply, trying to keep his calm. Dash tries to keep his cool.]
Masafumi Satake: “You’re making a mistake, JD. I know Watson better than anyone, and someone is only going to get hurt over in Japan. But, we’ll take your pity and turn it into something special…”
JD James: “Well, if it is indeed a mistake, it’s only mine to make.”
[Tension builds within the office, and with that statement both Satake and Dash exit the office of JD James. The COO simply smiles as the shot cuts elsewhere.]
