[Meanwhile… not far away…]
“And it’s all LCD?”
“Sure. We’re not going hi-def on the releases anyway, but you never know.”
[Fade in on a meeting in an arena while a stage crew works in the background. Present is the former Ratt Klyczofvski (who now goes by Kyle Hayden), his goon Kevin Alloy (who has acquired the nickname Killdozer), a young woman with mocha skin in a referee get-up named Rachelle, and an Eddie Izzard-looking fellow named Chris Chazz, who was last seen on commentary for VideoWire.]
HAYDEN: “And the commentary position… let’s put it right here.”
[He places a small part of a model on a larger model-- one with a ring and an entrance set. The video screen of the entrance set is emblazoned with the letters “DCWL.”]
CHAZZ: “Yeah, I don’t think John and I will have any sightline problems, provided his LASIK goes okay. Hey, one more question about the Video Wall…”
HAYDEN: “Shoot.”
CHAZZ: “It’s going to be a real video screen, right? It’s not just going to be a big cardboard cutout, is it?”
[Hayden, Alloy, and Chazz all share their fake laughs. Rachelle the referee just gets a disgusted “what an awful joke” look on her face.]
HAYDEN: “Cardboard cutouts, heh. You’re still a regular five-speed gearbox ain’t you, Chazz?”
[Cut to a sit-down interview in another part of the arena with Kyle Hayden.]
HAYDEN: “What else can I say. This has been a lifelong dream to promote my own promotion, and when we finally brokered the deal for the DCWL name, I was over the moon. It’s meant a few sacrifices on my part--”
[Cut to a brief shot of Kyle Hayden walking past the bottle of name brand cola in the grocery store and picking up the grocery store brand.]
HAYDEN: “--But I think in the end it’s been worth it.”
[Cut to a similar interview with Kevin “Killdozer” Alloy, who looks alarmingly like Walter Sobchak.]
ALLOY: “My appointment as Deputy Commissioner was pretty much the consequence of Commissioner Hayden’s attempt to make a different wrestling landscape.”
[Cut to Kevin Alloy walking in the backstage area while his voiceover from the interview continues.]
ALLOY: “Obviously we’ve had to scale back operations somewhat since we’re starting over fresh with a brand new infrastructure.”
[He stops at a couple of frustrated-looking technicians who seem to be having difficulty with a piece of lighting equipment.]
ALLOY: “So Kyle wants to project the best product and most unique product available.”
[Alloy listens to the technicians complains and eases them aside.]
ALLOY: “The DCWL has a strict no-interference policy… wrestlers are allowed to use weapons to a small extent, but the ones who don’t usually end up cleaning their clocks these days…”
[Alloy angrily grabs the malfunctioning equipment and tosses it in the air, somehow chokeslamming it to the ground.]
ALLOY: “And we’re going to try to bring in some special guest wrestler now and again. Basically the business model is that any DCWL show is going to be one you’ll want to go back to.”
[Alloy calmly picks up the equipment and hands it to the technicians.]
ALLOY: “And so, the office of the Commissioner is the one devoted to the business model…”
[The technicians plug the equipment in and it a bright beam of light shoots out of it. They smile at Alloy, who gives a thumbs up and continues his walk backstage. Cut back to Alloy being interviewed.]
ALLOY: “…So my job is largely in enforcement.”
[Cut back to the meeting at the set model.]
ALLOY: “I do want to raise a concern, and I think we should discuss this.”
HAYDEN: “Oh, that’s right…”
ALLOY: “Security.”
HAYDEN: “So where should we put the snipers?”
CHAZZ: “Yeah, we don’t want a repeat of Ark of Apocalypse 2008.”
ALLOY: “One up here…”
[He points to the top of the video wall with his pencil, and then over at an area is the seats.]
ALLOY: “Another one in the tech position, and maybe at the commentary position, if we don’t move it again.”
[An exasperated Rachelle raises her hand.]
RACHELLE: “Hang on, is this necessary?”
[Hayden suddenly stops the conversation. He laughs to himself.]
HAYDEN: “She does make a good point.”
[He looks straight at Chazz.]
HAYDEN: “How are your marksmanship skills.”
CHAZZ: “Well, a sniper rifle isn’t all that different from a Daisy Air Rifle, right.”
HAYDEN: “Yeah, that counts.”
ALLOY: “Well, yeah, that makes sense. Why hire another guy?”
HAYDEN: “Right, if there’s a skilled sniper already on the payroll why go to the extra expense?”
