Saturday Night’s Main Event is making its return to pay-per-view with Seven Deadly Sins, which of course will include the Deadly Games Mystery Box Madness Match. This contest features six wrestlers, fighting for four different cases, with each case containing something different. They will include a shot at the Custom Championship, a show at the World Tag Team Championship, $10,000 and finally a month without pay.
The Saturday Night Main Event camera crew catches up with The Franchise Shane Douglas as we open scene. The recently returning Franchise is wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a black t-shirt. His hair is pulled back and it doesn’t look like he’s shaved for a day or two. He’s wearing a pair of black boots and a pair of black sunglasses.

As far as I’m concerned this is nothing more than a formality.

The Franchise is sitting in the back what would appear to be a limousine and across from him sits his valet, manager and Head Cheerleader, Francine.
Shane Douglas
I should’ve walked out of the Rumble in the Jungle with the Custom Championship, and the fact that I’m in a match to EARN a shot at the very same title is tantamount to a slap in the face as far as The Franchise is concerned [/color]
Francine is wearing a pair of black pants and a black top, trimmed in gold. She has her head resting on a leather head rest and a pair of sunglasses on her head.
Francine
You don’t have to convince me, that’s for sure. [/color]
Shane Douglas
And as far as the other cases are concerned? A month without pay? The powers that be had better hope they never make a mistake they trying to without money from The Franchise because it will be the last mistake they ever get the chance to make. Ten thousand dollars? Hell, I deserve that per show I wrestle at, that’s nothing special. And a shot at the World Tag Team Championships? Why don’t you just give me both belts and let me pick some lucky bastard who will get to call The Franchise his tag team partner. Because the fact of the matter is this, should I win a shot at the World Tag Team Championships I’m going to win the Belts, no questions about it, so whoever ends up being my tag team partner should find a store that sells a lottery ticket and FAST, because they’re the luckiest son of a bitch waking the planet. I’ve done enough in my career, I’ve given enough to this sport, that quite frankly I shouldn’t have to EARN a shot at anything. Title shots should be given to me out of respect, as a career achievement award if you want to call it that. The problem with that, I suppose, is then one guy would hold every single piece of Gold in the entire company. That just isn’t The Franchise’s problem though. I didn’t become the most influential competitor in the history of our sport by losing matches, it isn’t my fault I’m that much better than the competition. And I shouldn’t be punished as such. That’s why they have honors classes in school, the smart kids shouldn’t be punished for being better. That’s why that have a Varsity and a Junior Varsity team, so that the better players aren’t punished because they perform at a higher level than the others. This is no different. I’m just that MUCH better and I perform at a MUCH higher level than everyone else and I don’t deserve to have to give an explanation as to why I don’t have to earn, let alone actually earn a Title shot.

Douglas glances out the window for a few moments before turning his attention back to the camera.
Shane Douglas
Chris Danielson. [/color]
He shakes his head as if he’s disappointed.
Shane Douglas
Chris Danielson is exactly what I’m talking about. Do I deserve to be in the same match as Chris Danielson? Absolutely not. Just like the kid who can solve Algebra equations with one eye covered, in ten seconds, doesn’t deserve to be in the same math class as the kid that can’t add two and four together. It’s just not fair. By wrestling in the same match as Chris Danielson I’m essentially dumbing myself down, I’m performing at a level far beneath what I’m used to performing at. You don’t see the kid who can throw the football forty yards on a rope blocking pass rushers for the Junior Varsity team, do you? No, of course not, that would be ridiculous. I agree. But, it’s not any more ridiculous than the idea of placing me in the same match as Chris Danielson. This guy wasn’t able to capture the Custom Championship last month at the Rumble in the Jungle, but he thinks he’s going to fare better this month? Absolutely not. That’s JUST as ridiculous a thought. And before I have to hear about how I didn’t win the Custom Championship last month either, at least I managed to make it to the end. At least I wasn’t cast aside like Chris Danielson, someone who NOBODY thought belonged in that match. And he didn’t. He didn’t belong in that match or the one he is booked in this month. The hype surrounding this kid? It’s just that, hype. Pomp and circumstance. No substance. Chris Danielson would do himself a favor by staying home and skipping Seven Deadly Sins all together. It’s his best shot at keeping himself on his own two legs. [/color]
Shane ends his last statement with a chuckle.
Francine
I’ll tell you what Shane, I’d almost prefer that you wrestle Chris Danielson over those two snot-nosed punks Cody Rhodes and Michael McGillicutty. [/color]
Shane Douglas
You mean the – “only reason I have my job is because my Daddy was a wrestler” – club? [/color]
Francine
Exactly. That’s exactly who I’m talking about. [/color]
Shane Douglas
I’m happy both of those punks are in this match. I’m ecstatic, actually. [/color]
Francine looks shocked at The Franchise’s response.
Shane Douglas
Think about it…if these two sons of bitches weren’t in this match how else would I teach them AND all the morons in attendance at the pay-per-view that lineage doesn’t make you a professional? [/color]
After a bit more thought Francine nods in agreement.
Francine
I’m with you. Go on… [/color]
Shane Douglas
I thought Dusty Rhodes was a huge piece of horsesh*t and I don’t think much more of his son to be perfectly honest with you. In fact, I think his son is actually a hell of a lot WORSE. Think about it this way, Dusty Rhodes was out of shape, he had no real wrestling ability and he wasn’t the smartest guy in the world, but he still had a lot of success. He was able to make a name for himself in this business without the physique, the ability or the intelligence. That’s actually somewhat impressive. He was and is still a piece of horsesh*t but it’s still somewhat impressive. Cody Rhodes on the other hand? His boy? He’s worse. Unlike his Daddy Cody is in great shape and he actually has wrestling ability. The only problem is Cody hasn’t done jack sh*t with it. His talent and ability have gone completely to waste. He should be a lot more successful than his Dad was, but he doesn’t have the heart. He’s not a professional. He’s worse than his Father was despite the fact that he’s actually a better competitor. So yes, I’m ecstatic that Cody Rhodes is in this match because I’m going to take great pleasure in FRANCHISING his ass. Guys like Cody Rhodes piss me off to no end, they think they’re entitled something. They think just because their Daddies did this for a living they’re entitled to something. To hell with that. Do you think The Franchise thought he was entitled to something when he was twenty seven, or even thirty years old? Absolutely not. I was till earning my spot back then. Now? Now is a completely different story. Now you can bet your ass I’m entitled to things, but Cody Rhodes? No chance. Make no mistake about it, if anyone is entitled to anything around here it’s The Franchise. I can’t wait to stand face to face with Rhodes and kick his ass. I’m going to drop his kid on his head with a Plunge so hard that his dear old Daddy feels it too. It’s just a shame Dusty isn’t going to bring his huge, overrated ass down to the ring too, because I sure as hell would love to knock him out too. I’d love to knock the whole family out, come to think of it. Cody Rhodes is exactly what I despise about the wrestling industry and I can’t wait to drop the little bastard with a Franchiser. [/color]
Francine
Michael McGillicutty… [/color]
Francine twirls her hair, laughing out loud.
Francine
I thought he was Curt’s kid? [/color]
Shane Douglas
He is. [/color]
Francine
Surely you’re joking. [/color]
Shane Douglas
I’m afraid not. [/color]
Francine
I don’t buy that. Curt had talent. Curt was something to take notice of. I’ve seen Michael McGillicutty in the ring and he doesn’t have an ounce of the talent his Father had and he surely isn’t something to take notice of. [/color]
Shane Douglas
What do you expect? This kid has the same story that Rhodes does. He thinks he deserves a spot on the roster because of who is Father was, nothing more. And let’s be honest her, Curt was alright. He was a talented wrestler who had a nice run, but he wasn’t The Franchise. And you know me Francine, there is no tougher judge of where someone falls in the pantheon of this port than The Franchise. Curt was alright. Perhaps above average. His kid? His kid a piece of sh*t. I’ve never actually wrestled Michael McGillicutty but I’ve seen him before. At least I don’t think I’ve ever wrestled him but it’s not like I’d actually remember anyway, the kid isn’t exactly worth remembering. But, as it stands, I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of kicking his ass. That changes at Seven Deadly Sins though, that goes right out the window. When I step foot in that ring I’m headed right towards Curt’s kid and I’m to drop him right then and there, no questions asked. He thinks he has a spot in this business? Curt’s Kid? Joe? Michael? Whatever the hell his name is…he thinks he has earned a spot in Saturday Night’s Main Event? We’ll see. We’ll see if he’s got what it takes to stand on his own two legs or if he’s just another kid who got a chance because of who their parent was. I’ll be honest with you and tell you that I’m betting on the latter. I’m thinking that this kid is just another average, run of the mill competitor who sucked on the professional wrestling equivalent of a silver spoon his entire life and now – here is he. Well, I’m not impressed. Just showing up isn’t enough to impress The Franchise. If McGillicutty is lucky he’ll make it out of Seven Deadly Sins under his own power . [/color]
Shane looks out the window again, not paying attention to anything in particular.
Shane Douglas
I don’t know where these kids get this stuff from, Fran. It sure ain’t like it used to be. [/color]
Francine
Absolutely not. Desmond Wolfe would’ve been lucky to make it onto the ring crew back in the day. Nowadays he’s wrestling on pay-per-view? It’s unreal. [/color]
Shane Douglas
You’re absolutely right. It’s unreal. [/color]
He brings his attention back inside the limo.
Shane Douglas
THIS is Desmond Wolfe? This is the free agent signing that I read about a few weeks back? I thought we signed some great technical wrestler? I thought we signed someone who was going to help take Saturday Night Main Event to the next level? I guess that was a bunch of horse piss because the only thing I see is a mediocre Brit that would’ve been better off staying at home. Why? Because back in England he’d be able to avoid The Franchise. If he stayed home and applied his craft across the pond he could’ve had a better chance to make something of himself. But no, Desmond came over here and tried to hang with the big boys. Well, he got what he wished for because he’s walking a match with the guy that defined the way that professional wrestling is supposed to be in the States. Hell, Wolfe is walking into a match with the guy that defined the way that professional wrestling is supposed to be all over the world! All you hear these days are words like extreme and hardcore…well if it weren’t for The Franchise those two words wouldn’t have a place in professional wrestling. I’m the reason that there is a culture of extreme wrestling, nobody else. I’m the reason that there is such a thing as hardcore wrestling. If it weren’t for The Franchise professional wrestling would consist of two guys desperately trying to get each other in a headlock for twenty minutes. And that’s exactly what Desmond Wolfe wants, isn’t it? He wants to simplify the match and try to out wrestle The Franchise. If that is indeed the case then I suggest that Wolfe…brings it on. I’m ready for him. I’m the most well rounded athlete in our business, and if it’s wrestling he’s after then he’s come to the right place. It just so happens that the right place is also the place that is going to FRANCHISE his ass. [/color]
Shane shakes his head again, slowly from right to left.
Shane Douglas
And then you’ve got this Doran Gray kid. Doran, Dorian, whatever his name is. He’s the only guy that might mean LESS to this sport than Chris Danielson. He’s the only guy that might belong in this match LESS than Chris Danielson. And I hope he doesn’t let that get to his head because that isn’t exactly saying much. I can tell you right now that whatever Gray has faced in his past is going to look like a walk in the park compared to what I have in store for him. I’ll tell you this, whoever Gray has wrestled in the past doesn’t hold a candle to The Franchise or what I’m capable of. This guy might as well be wrestling his first career match at Seven Deadly Sins because in many ways he is. In many ways this is going to be the first match of Gray’s career. And in many ways it will be…his last. He’s going to be born into the sport of professional wrestling right there on pay-per-view and it’s going to kill him just as face. He’s walking into a match that, make no mistake about it, is hazardous to his wellbeing. And he only has himself to blame. He can only look in the mirror and blame the guy he sees staring back at him because he made the decision to lace the boots up. What I have in store for him, his birth into and his death from the sport of professional wrestling are his own fault. [/color]
The door of the limo swings open as Douglas addresses the camera a final time.
Shane Douglas
It’s not going to be about cases or their contents at Seven Deadly Sins. It’s going to be about The Franchise and my climb to the top of Saturday Night’s Main Event. [/color]
As Douglas makes his way to the door, with Francine in tow, our scene fades. [/center][/font]
