CZW Rising Star!
A Hotel near CZW headquarters: J. A. Sawyer is finishing up dressing for the day after showering. It will be a somewhat long day filled with planning meetings, an Inferno taping to set up Overdrive and Hatewave 2, and even a meeting with a merchandiser who will pitch Godzilla Sawyer products (Oh, joy!). Building toward the next Pay Per View, Sawyer knows the next two weeks will be a bit of a pain with the actual matches being the least annoying.

Sawyer, muttering: “At least in the ring I’m in front of the crowd and usually having fun.”

Tamara Simpson, from the bath room: “What was that?”

Sawyer: “Just talking to myself, honey.”

Tamara: “That’s the first sign of getting old. Hey, could come in and help me zip up?”

Sawyer: “No prob."

J. A., now dressed in black denim jeans and a black ‘Godzilla Sawyer’ t-shirt (one of the possible new designs and a gift from the hopeful merchandiser. Sawyer had found it at the hotel when he had checked in), walks into the the restroom and unabashedly admires Tamara, who was one of the most attractive women he had ever gotten close to. He zips up the back of the rather form-fitting green dress and also helps her with a necklace, when a stray thought crosses his mind, a thought that had been there for the last week but unspoken.

Sawyer: “Can I ask a personal question, Tamara?”

Tamara, smiling: “Of course.”

Sawyer: “How did we end up in this hotel room together?”

A funny expression crosses her face. “Well, you picked up the rental car at the airport, drove us over here, checked in at the desk. We can up here, got a little playful...”

Sawyer, with his own smile: “No, not that. I’m...not what most girls would call attractive. I know that. Until I started to become famous, I never had an easy time in relationships, and now, of course, it’s the fame and thought of money that makes me more attractive to a lot of shallow people. I’m just curious what it is that brought you...here.”

Tamara’s smile fades a bit, her demeanor more intense: “If you’ve had a problem with ladies in the past, it might be a confidence issue. I mean, Billy Joel landed Christie Brinkley for a long time, and it wasn’t for his money! You are a good man and a nice guy. You’re genuine. For me, I think I’ve dealt with enough assholes in my life that, when I found someone who seemed honest, I wanted to stick around. My asking for your help landing a job in CZW was in part to stay close to you, I just couldn’t say that yet.”

Sawyer thinks about that for a moment then cracks a smile: “I can live with that.”

****

Now he’s at CZW headquarters for the Inferno taping. Here is where they build newcomers and film additional segments for their syndicated programming. Only a few of the bigger stars appear on this program each week, but the show is promoted weekly in the same town as the Headquarters building. Sawyer likes to wrestle, though, and always appreciates his activity here. He’s already wrestled and defeated a hopeful future CZW superstar earlier, but now its time for his speech.

Announcer: “Please welcome back to the ring, accompanied by his new valet Bunny Simpson, the CZW Television Champion, GODZILLA SAWYEEERRR!!!”

The ‘Godzilla Unleashed’ theme begins to play and the audience goes nuts with cheering! Godzilla Sawyer, with Tamara/Bunny at his side, heads down to ringside. He doesn’t acknowledge the fans or shake hands, an unusual thing for him. He steps into the ring, his Television Title belt over his shoulder, and then stands there silently, microphone in his hand. The cheers slowly melt away, and change into a confused murmur.

Sawyer looks up with a smirk, then his smile widens.

Godzilla, into microphone: “Fooled you!”

The audience laughs for a moment.

Godzilla: “The Monster from Michigan stands before you tonight still a monster, still kicking...and still the Combat Zone Television Champion!”

The crowd cheers again as Sawyer waits patiently.

Godzilla: "On Overdrive this week I'm in a huge match, teaming with El Pablo, Krimson Blaze, and Mike Monroe of Team XTC against ALL of The Next Generation minus Mike King...oh, sorry, I mean KIIIIIIIINNGG...who has the week off for an injury or something, I really don't know 'cause I don't pay attention to them much. So yeah, this will be a big match, a lot of chair throwing, powerslamming, teeth-smashing action all over the arena which can end at any time because it is a one-fall event. Whoever gets the pinfall or submission wins the match for their team. And I'll admit, I like the idea of facing off against the likes of Timmons, Wright, and KING, wrestlers I haven't really faced yet this year. I'm not one to look ahead, but there is something a little more important on my mind at the moment, the Television Championship.

“Now there are some folks who feel that this title means nothing, that it is just a shadow of the importance of the World or Intercontinental title. (Looks at the title belt) I can see there point. But you know something? The prestige of an award such as this depends not of opinion, but on the kind of man holding the championship and his level of competition! Simply put, since I won this championship, I’ve been unbeaten! Title and non-title matches, I haven’t lost since! Now, if I can keep this up while the World Championship goes from one man to another, does that still mean my belt means less? I think not. And I’m not disparaging Cage Stryker in any way, he’s a fine World Champ and he’s enjoying a good title reign as well. I’m just saying that, the longer I hold this championship and the more defenses I successfully have, the more valuable it becomes even compared to the higher positions in CZW!

“My question is, who’s next? Brian Blaze is now holding another title, Kris Kamikaze seems to be completely gone, and Impaler failed. For all of his power and skill, for all of his shouting at the top of his lungs, for all the help of Caleb Walker, he couldn’t get the job done. And Hatewave II is coming soon. We need to look at the roster and see who is next in line for a shot! Now let me see who we have. First, we have...”


Suddenly, the lights of the arena go out, and we hear a low rumble like an earthquake come through the sound system. When the lights go on, Impaler’s face is on the big screen.

Impaler: “This is a live feed from elsewhere, so you can talk right to me, punk! Who said I’m done with you?”

Godzilla looks at the screen, then at Bunny incredulously. She snickers.

Godzilla: “You don't get it, do you? You lost, Impaler. You had your chance. And I don’t care if you and your little flunky Caleb attack me again, you will have to win some matches and earn another shot.”

Impaler: “Maybe. But then, maybe I have another form of persuasion.”

The camera at Impaler’s location turns a little bit and Impaler walks through a large door, the camera following.

Impaler: “You recognize this place, Sawyer?”

The camera pans left. It looks like a refurbished school gym with fold-up bleacher seats on three sides. In the center of the large room is a wrestling ring set up.

Godzilla, beginning to show concern: “That looks like Billy’s gym.”

Impaler: “Damn, you are good at this, Godzilla! You should be on Jeopardy!”

Impaler climbs into the ring. Handcuffed to the ropes is the former Janitor Billy Williams, Sawyer’s once upon a time tag team partner in The Union. Billy was forced to retire due to a back injury in 2008. He looks like he’s been knocked around a little bit already.

Billy: “Whatever he’s after, J. A., don’t give it to him.”

Impaler: “SHUT THE HELL UP!”

Impaler clubs Billy three times in the head.

Sawyer: “You son of a bitch! Leave him alone!”

Impaler: “So, your old buddy has a bad back. In a way, I’m like a chiropractor, so let me see if I can help.”

Impaler opens the handcuffs, freeing the now stunned Williams. He positions him, and Sawyer mouths the word ‘no’.

Sawyer: “Don’t do this, Impaler. I’ll give you one more match, but not if you do this.”

Impaler, snarling: “You don’t make the deal here! This isn’t coercion, idiot! I’m going to piss you off so much that you want to face me again, and I will only agree if it is for your title!”

In the ring back in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Impaler powerbombs Billy Williams! Slowly he stands the former Janitor up and hits with a sit-down bomb! Then he rolls Billy over and locks in a camel clutch! At this points Billy is moaning in a state of half consciousness.

Godzilla is in the ring, turning red and pacing helplessly. Finally, in that far away ring, Impaler lifts Billy one more time onto his shoulders, and powerbombs the smaller man...over the top rope and down to ringside. From what we can see, there are no pads around the ring, just hardwood floor!

The camera shifts over to the front door, where there are flashing red and blue lights outside.

Impaler: “It seems I have to cut this short, but I already know there is a back way out. See you at Overdrive, ‘Zilla!”

Godzilla, screaming into the mic: “You better hope not, asshole. I’M GOING TO TEAR YOU APART WHEN I SEE YOU!

The Combat Tron screen goes black as Sawyer runs from the ring to the back, his valet Bunny trailing behind.
