Alexander Smith: Somebody stop this. Do your job IC3, do your job and end this farce! Why isn’t security running out to get this situation under control, why is this being allowed? What kind of justice is this?
As Reed and Stevenson continue to take it to Showtime the crowd goes wild as Theo Vega sprints out from the back. Reed quickly turns his attention to T.V. and looks to hit him with the Sweet Dreams superkick only to have his foot caught and spun around before being caught in a belly to belly suplex. As T.V. keeps Reed at bay this gives Showtime the opportunity he needed as he roars back to life against Stevenson, keeping the champion on his heels. Reed and Stevenson get as T.V. and Showtime nod to each other and whip their respective targets into each other as they collide in the middle of the ring.
Alexander Smith: The Cavalry has arrived, now we have a fair fight! This GGW crowd is loving every single second of these two sell outs getting a taste of their own medicine!

Theo Vega: Liars, frauds, thieves. When I came to GGW I made it my mission to remove the cancer so the cream could rise to the top. Far too often people resort to politics and backroom deals to grasp or retain power. Instead of people failing or succeeding based on their merits alone the jackals hyenas… and in the case of Stevenson especially, pint sized chihuahuas hiding behind keyboards to form a pack.
Just when it looked like the “good guys” would take the upperhand for good however Barrel emerges from the crowd and quickly comes to Reed’s aid. Meanwhile an older gentleman manages to hop the other barricade and comes to Stevenson’s said as he catches Showtime with a swift low blow. Slumped against the corner Stevenson grins from ear to ear as Reed, Barrel, and the third man begin to act in unison as they systematically triple team each man individually.
At this time Smith is yelling into his headset which quickly gets cut off from the guys in the production trailer. Barrel scoops Showtime up and hits a devastating Steiner Screwdriver while the older gentlemen picks T.V. up and holds him as Reed nails the Sweet Dreams[cupcake]. With the opposition lying unconscious the four men left standing stand over their foes and raise their arms in the air, Golden Gate Championship included for Stevenson.

Theo Vega: Sometimes you have to take a stand no matter how dire the odds may be.
T.V. was seen sitting on a weight bench wearing a pair of black gym shorts. His ribs were taped up from the 4-on-2 assault and by the way he tends to rotate his neck appears to have soreness there as well. For T.V., especially a guy his size, six foot six, it’s not often that he’s on the receiving end; usually The Sin City Slicer was the man doling out the punishment in the ring. The energy, the confidence was still there but it was almost as if it were lying dormant, restrained even. He was a man who felt far from defeated but at the same time he couldn’t help but feel frustration at failing to make the save. The advantage T.V. and Showtime gained while brief drove a point home that Stevenson wouldn’t be running the show unopposed but the fact that he had an Ace Up His Sleeve seemed to be the louder statement. It stung to be beaten to the punch like that.
Theo Vega: You know I’ll give you some credit Stevenson, you and your sell out brigade definitely did a number on Show and I. It wasn’t enough that you had a 2-on-1 advantage in a sanctioned match, it wasn’t enough that Bradford and his adopted son from the East-West Friendship Pact used a can of bug spray to steal a victory, you just had to rub it in. I knew the two of you were thieves but even I didn’t think you’d be that greedy nor did I think you’d find Three Stooges gullible enough to come to your beck and call like a pack of trained mutts.
The Older Man? For all we know he could be old shuffleboard buddies with Ole Man River at the retirement home. Stevenson could’ve easily conned him with his early set Alzheimer’s setting in; taking advantage of a senior citizen. Barrel? I expect that out of him. That overgrown mutt doesn’t seem to have a mind of his own, aimlessly going with the flow. When Reed tells him to jump he asks “daa how high boss? Can I pet da wabbits too?”
T.V. flashed a grin briefly as he gave his best impression of Lenny from the book Of Mice and Men. Looney Tunes paid homage to it frequently in the late 30s-40s. A big, dumb brute bossed around by a small guy with a Napoleon Complex.
Theo Vega: But you Reed? Doesn’t this go against everything you stand for? I’m not going to sit here and confuse you for an upstanding Eagle Scout and put you over as a man with unwavering morals; hell you’re about as selfish as they come. Yet here you are playing second fiddle to EYE CEE THREE’s lapdog on a leash? Ladies and gentlemen, the self-proclaimed leader of the Youth Movement is teaming with the very same “Old Timers” and “Glory Hogs” he seeks to stamp out of the industry! Oh King Reed, how could I possibly hope to be like you?! Where’s Lucifer so I can sign my morals and my dignity away for eternal hypocrisy?!
Sarcasm dripped in as he raised the inflection in his voice. Everyone has their own moral compass, including T.V. himself and it differs person to person. No two people agree on the same exact morality, no matter how much similarity society may have in general or even between two friends. Some people will turn in a $20 bill and look for its rightful owner, others will look at fortune smiling on them and pocketing it without a second though. Love it or hate it, it was one thing that helped make people different from the rest, individuality. Two people don’t have to agree, everyone has that right to disagree but to sell out your beliefs; even for your own benefit? It was the ultimate dishonesty, lying to yourself. T.V. didn’t know nor could he pretend to know the exact reason why Reed took an about face to align with Glory Hog Stevenson but in his eyes it made him the biggest fraud in the locker room.
Theo Vega: Well I hope you’re proud of yourself Bambino, I hope it’s worth it for your sake knowing what kind of man you’re hitching your wagon to. I may not be a Saint; I may move on from lady to lady, I have a vice for gambling, fast cars, and alcohol on my downtime. I bust my ass to get this chiseled physique that I’m proud of, maybe something I’m a little too proud of at times and I got the swagger this business hasn’t seen since the late great Gorgeous George!
The T.V. Golden Gate Wrestling has come to know and love flashed and shined on through during that brief moment, the cocky and cool kid from Las Vegas, Nevada that dazzled opponents and audience alike. But he stopped; he hesitated as he looked down before looking up at the camera with a stoic glare. With a telescopic focus T.V.Time himself had a cold seriousness surrounding him in this moment that nearly put the room in a full AC blast at the drop of a dime. It was a rare moment to see T.V. be all business like he is now.
Theo Vega: But I know what kind of man I am; and I’m not going to change that for anybody. I have my flaws, my strengths, my weaknesses, everything both good and bad make me who I am. If the fans choose to throw their support behind me like they have? I’m going to embrace it. If they think I’m full of hot air? They’re going to let me have it in the worst way and I’m perfectly ok with that. At the end of the day that doesn’t define who I am. I came to Showtimes’ aid because I was sick and tired of seeing Stevenson run the show completely unopposed, I was tired of seeing our Kingpin of an Owner enable the King of Thieves to bleed these people and this company dry. Reed Williams, you’ve become the very man you sought to eliminate in the first place, bravo.
He claps slowly from the bench before slowly getting up. The man was clearly in pain but like a trooper he was going to push on through the suffering. Pain was weakness leaving the body, whatever didn’t kill you only served to make you stronger in the end and the Fanatical Four may regret not finishing the job when it’s all said and done.
Theo Vega: The Dusty Rhodes Memorial Cup show is going to be a night where we both celebrate the life of The American Dream as well as a night of mourning; and I’m not just talking about the Big Cat’s tragic death. You want bloody? You’re gonna get bloody. You want chaos? You’re going to get a fistful of it. You talk about biblical proportions? I’m going to split your head so wide Moses is going to be stunned into silence as he watches with Big Man upstairs as I recreate the Red Sea in Golden Gate! The Sin City Slicer… is going to cut you down. Bring all the King’s horses, and all the King’s men; it still won’t be enough to put Reed and Barrel back together again. See you at T.V. Time.
