Jamie Parker vs Beno

[Duff]

Jamie Parker is sitting in his apartment, which has maintained the tidy, clean feel it had the last time we visited. In the corner, Jamie is fiddling with some wires at the back of a new laptop. The display on the laptop lights up with the familiar Windows XP logo and the processor can be heard whirring as it completes the startup process. Jamie plugs a wireless card into one of the available USB slots and waits for both lights to go green. After several seconds, the wireless card detects the connection and Jamie clicks twice on the mousepad. He types something on the keyboard and hits another key. He views the information on the screen and reads it aloud

Parker: Ah, here we go. “hi, my name is beno hwang. this is what i'm 'bout: taekwondo, snowboarding, spicy food, Korean gayo pop music, the Simpsons... i'm a mechanical engineer by ...” Hmm, that can’t be it. Let’s try the next one.

Parker clicks another few keys on the laptop.

Parker: Bioethics Network Of Ohio, that doesn’t sound right either…. NBA.com, nope don’t think that’s it either. Who the hell is this guy?

A voice interrupts Jamie’s thoughts. The voice evidently belongs to a woman, but the person projecting the words remains off shot.

Voice: What are you up to, not looking at porn, I hope.

The voice emits a girlish giggle as Parker turns to view the woman whose voice we have just heard. As he does so, the camera turns as well, and we see a young woman standing outside the door to the bathroom. She is wrapped in a white fluffy towel, her hair dripping water onto her shoulders and a few rogue drops hit the carpet where she stands. Ursula, the girl that Parker met in the coffee shop, is looking radiant as the light reflects off her golden shoulder length hair. Her skin is slightly flushed from the heat of the shower and her natural beauty is evident. Parker just stares in amazement at the figure before him. The girl feigns shock and insult as she theatrically turns away from Parker.

Ursula: Didn’t your mother ever teach you it was rude to stare?

Parker: Huh. Oh sorry, I was just trying to find out something about this guy I’m facing on Turmoil this week, but it’s like he’s a total non-entity. I’ve tried googling for him, but nothing comes up except junk.

Ursula: Have you tried the PCW website?

Jamie: Well, kinda. I tried looking for their website, but it appears they don’t have one. Makes you wonder how it is that they’re allegedly selling out all these arenas and we’re performing to less than 1000 people in Florida with the odd excursion into Mississippi or Tennessee. They just seem to be so backward. I’m gonna have to give the office a ring to see if they can provide me with any info.

Ursula: Ok, well I’m just going to go and finish drying off while you make the call. What do you feel like doing later?

Parker: Well, I need to get some training in. I’m still a bit banged up after the Falls Count Anywhere match last week.

The look of disappointment on Ursula’s face is missed by parker as he reaches for the phone. Ursula turns and heads into the bedroom. The sound of a hairdryer can be heard in the background as Parker dials a number into the phone and listens for a few seconds at the earpiece before speaking.

Parker: Hi, it’s Jamie Parker. I was just wondering if you could help me with my match this week. I’m booked to face some guy from PCW, but I cant seem to find out anything about him.

There is a slight pause as Parker listens to the reply.

Parker: Yeah, I’m sure I’m not the first this week. So, what have you got?

(Pause)

A PCW fan site? I guess that could work. What’s the address? Ok, gimme a second to grab a pen.

Parker rummages in a drawer, before pulling out a pen and an old envelope.

Parker: Ok, what is it? Iowrestling.net. Ok, I’ll check it out. Thanks for your help!

Parker replaces the phone in its receiver and turns his attention back to his laptop. He types in the address and the screen loads the dark blue screen of IOWrestling.net.

Parker: Well, even the fans must be backwards, this site looks terrible. Ah, there it is, PCW. This could be what I need, they have recaps of all the PCW shows and promos cut by the wrestlers. Ok, Beno, Beno, Beno. Shit, even here it seems they don’t have a lot of info on him.

The sound of the hairdryer switches off and Ursula returns into the lounge, her hair a slightly lighter shade of blonde now that is dry. She sis till wearing the towel she used to dry off after her shower. She walks up behind Parker and slips her arms round his shoulders as he sits in the chair.

Ursula: Don’t you know that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness? Maybe you should take a break from this stuff for a while. You’ve still got plenty of time before Tuesday.

Parker: No really, I cant! I need to find out what I’m up against, though from what I’ve seen so far, it can’t be that much of a worry. Even the PCW fans don’t seem to care about him. Anyway, I need to work out, I’m still stiff from last week.

Ursula stands again and takes a few steps back from Parker. Her lips curl into a huge grin that shows her innocent looks are entirely superficial.

Ursula: I prefer you when you’re stiff.

Parker looks round at her and opens his mouth to speak when Ursula drops the towel to the floor. Parker’s mouth remains open as he takes in the contours of Ursula’s naked body. He too develops a huge grin (and I’m sure that’s not all).

Parker: Ok, maybe I can hold off training for a little while.

Ursula: Oh, don’t worry. I’ll make sure you get a good workout.

The camera fades with Ursula giggling again as Parker lunges for her and throws her onto the sofa with one arm and ripping open his shirt with the other.

Our scene begins with the sight of a house that is all too familiar to the fans of PCW. It's the house that many remember as one of the many fight spots that Beno and Chris Cage took part in years ago. It is the house that PCW superstar Beno resides in. We go into the living room where we see Beno sitting on his trademark leather couch.

Beno: Do you honestly think you can beat me Mr Parker? I admit that you are an impressive athlete and a young stud. But that doesn't mean anything. We all saw how my nephew Blade LaVigne fell last night at the Tournament Of CHampions II. Of course he had help from Legendary Ken. But I'm sure none of you WPW guys saw that. Now, back to you Jamie Parker. I may have lost last week on your show, but I will not repeat that act. I have a mission. And that is to put the WPW out of business damnit! Do you honestly think that we're just going to sit back and let you guys take over the wrestling business? If that is the case, than you are surely mistaken. PCW will go into the new year stronger than ever. I have sat back long enough and watched as you and the rest of the WPW have trash talked PCW and attacked ud from behind numberous times. So I'm going to put a thron in your side by defeating Jamie Parker here tonight.

But let me ask you sometime. Shouldn't you be training instead of screwing some tramp that you picked up at a bar? Not very dedicated to your body I see. What a shame. You're such a disappointment to all the young men here in WPW. And I'm going to teach you a lesson that you will never forget. And just so you know, I'll be coming to the ring alone because I don't need my families help to take care of you. But if that tramp of yours does get involved, I'll have no problem taking care of her as well. Maybe even have Blade and JJ show her what it is like to be with real men.

And there is a reason why there isn't much data on me. I'v been around for quite awhile, but I took a leave of absence from pro wrestling. And as for the data before my reutrn, it was burnt. There is no need to look at the past, but to the future. And I can certainly tell you this. The Movement is the future of this business. And we're taking it by storm. It's just a matter of time before we have gold aroud our waists. Only a matter of time indeed.

The door bell rings and we follow Beno to the door. And who is standing in the door way you ask? Why it's a blast from the past. A face that we've seen with Beno before. The man that was once known as Meltdown.

Beno: So you have arrived my friend. It is a pleasure seeing you. You look well. Do come in.

Meltdown: Yes I have been fine. I'v been doing quite fine actually. I'v even started thinking about coming out of retirement so that we may reform the Kings of Hardcore.

Beno: That would be a sight to see wouldn't it. But we're missing an elelment. You remember what Knightmare did to us and Kelli. I won't allow him to come near me nor Kelli.

Meltdown:It was unfortunate that he thought he would be better off without us around. And now look at him. I haven't seen nor heard his name in so long on television. It's rather pathetic really. And now I see that you have brought Blade and JJ into PCW aswell. That was a marvelous move on your part.

Beno: They are the future of this business. And I'm going to make sure they get to the top. Of course I'll be up on top as well. I mean they can't do this without me. Afterall, I have looked out for them ever since they were born. But that doesn't mean that the KOH can't reform. I'll talk to management about it.

MEltdown: Then it's settled. For one night only, the Kings of Hardcore will reunite. Good luck in your match tonight my friend.

Beno: Now to finish this message to you Jamie Parker. Beware young man. For you have unleashed a tsunami that is PCW. For the era of Benoness has officially begun once again! Beware the Beno Bomb!

The camera fades to nothingness.
