*************************************************************************************
[Backstage – HCW Arena – Dark Dominion’s Locker Room]* (The camera pans inside the dark and grimy confines of the Dark Dominion’s private locker room. Candles flicker. Chains hang.
Count Vlad stands in his regal, blood-red suit, adjusting his cuffs with sinister flair. Beastfang lurks in the background, pacing like a caged beast.)
Count Vlad: (Beaming with that familiar sinister charm) “Ahhh… the chaos brews, the pain ferments… but some among us have more tender things on their monstrous minds.”
(He looks over at Beastfang, who suddenly stops pacing.)
Count Vlad: (Beaming) “Yes, yes, I saw the North Pole Championship Wrestling blog, Beastfang. I saw the picture. That redhead… mmm, such fire. Even skull-face Negropolis couldn't scare her away!”
Beastfang: (Growling low) “She was a fan. A loyal subject of destruction...”
Count Vlad: (Laughing, half mocking, half amused) “Of you! And now you're off to dinner with a fan who thinks you’re the ‘cuddly one’ in the Dark Dominion. Ahahahaha! Beastfang, the Devourer of Hearts!”
(Beastfang snarls but doesn't deny it.)
Count Vlad: “Fine, fine. Go. Enjoy. But next time bring her backstage—if she survives the date.”
(Beastfang grunts and storms off, slamming the locker door behind him. Vlad watches him go with a devilish grin.)
Count Vlad: “Love... what a deliciously foolish distraction.” (Fade out with eerie laughter and the echo of Beastfang’s boots clomping down the corridor.)
[HCW Logo flashes across the screen. Pyro erupts on the stage as the camera pans the roaring crowd. The ring is lit in gold and silver spotlights, signifying a special event.]
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“Welcome, folks, to another explosive edition of Heritage Championship Wrestling! I’m Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson, alongside my broadcast partner Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris, and tonight—tonight—we make history once again!”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“That’s right, Mike! We’ve got something brand new cookin’ in the HCW kitchen, baby. A brand-new segment debuts tonight—we don’t know much, but I’ve got a hunch it’s gonna shake up the foundation of this company!”
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“Plus, a massive men's Battle Royal is set to rock the ring, and the stakes couldn’t be higher—the winner walks away with a golden opportunity in the form of a signed contract. Championship match? Main event? Cash-in clause? It could be life-changing!”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“And don’t blink, because the HCW World Ladies Championship will be defended tonight! You can feel the tension in the air—this division has been on fire lately, and tonight’s title bout could steal the whole show!”
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“Strap in, folks. We’ve got surprises, we’ve got battles, we’ve got gold on the line...and who knows what else. This is HCW, and this...is where legends are made.”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:

Match #2: World Ladies Title Match – Selena Blackfang w/Count Vlad vs Luciana Albano w/Pierre Boulay
[The HCW camera cuts to ringside as the lights dim to a deep crimson glow. The gold-trimmed ring ropes glisten under the spotlight.]
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“Coming up next, folks, is one of the most venomous grudge matches you’ll ever see—two of HCW’s most dangerous women collide for the richest prize in the division: the World Ladies Championship.”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“This ain’t about handshakes or fan favorites, Mike. It’s about dominance, legacy, and cold-blooded ambition. We’re about to witness a snake pit with stilettos.”
[The arena shifts to a sleek Italian techno beat as Luciana Albano struts through the curtain, clad in a dazzling black-and-gold robe, her cold gaze locked on the ring. Behind her, Pierre Boulay follows with a smug grin, adjusting the lapels of his custom blazer as he smugly gestures to the crowd.]
Ring Announcer:
“Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Pierre Boulay… from Naples, Italy… she is the former HCW World Ladies Champion… LUCIANAAAAA ALBAAAANO!”
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“Luciana was dethroned, but she never accepted the fall. She’s been scheming with Pierre Boulay ever since to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers.”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“She didn’t come back for revenge—she came back to repossess her title. And with Boulay in her corner, don’t think for a second she doesn’t have a plan in motion.”
[Luciana steps into the ring slowly, dramatically unfastening her robe to reveal jet-black ring gear with golden rose designs. She raises her arms arrogantly as fans boo loudly.]
[Suddenly, the lights snap to pitch black. A blood-red spotlight beams down on the entrance stage as organ music swells. Then, a chilling whisper fills the arena—“The Widow’s Fang is always near…”—and Selena Blackfang emerges, draped in her obsidian veil and dark armor-like ring attire, the HCW World Ladies Championship gleaming at her waist. Beside her, looming like a ghostly monarch, is Count Vlad, hands folded behind his back, eyes like coals.]
Ring Announcer:
“And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Count Vlad… she is the reigning, defending HCW World Ladies Champion… SELENA ‘WIDOW’S FANG’ BLACKFANG!”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“Oh, she’s not walking to the ring—she’s gliding straight out of a nightmare. That’s the aura of the Dominion, baby.”
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“With Count Vlad in her corner, the line between mind games and full-on psychological warfare gets awfully thin. Selena isn’t just fighting to retain gold—she’s fighting to maintain the Dominion’s grip on power.”
[Selena steps onto the apron slowly, peering over her shoulder at Vlad, who nods once before taking his place in the corner. She slides into the ring like a panther stalking prey, unstraps the title, and raises it high with both hands—never taking her eyes off Luciana.]
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:
“This is more than a championship clash—this is a battle between two ice-hearted tacticians who’ll do anything to leave with the crown.”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris:
“Get ready, Mike. This one’s gonna be vicious... venomous... and oh so violent.”

The Omegatron lights up with our next segment.
The Morton Report – Debut Episode (5/17/25)
Guest: Max McGillicutty
Host: Larry Morton
(The show opens with a slick new intro package featuring the words “THE MORTON REPORT” flashing across the screen in bold, classic lettering. The camera cuts to the set, which has a vintage, professional sports show aesthetic—leather chairs, a rich wooden backdrop, and an HCW logo displayed proudly behind the host’s desk. The crowd is buzzing as legendary interviewer Larry Morton stands center stage, microphone in hand, dressed in his signature blue plaid suit.)
Larry Morton: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the very first edition of The Morton Report! (crowd cheers) We’re gonna bring you the biggest stories, the toughest questions, and most importantly, the truth—straight from the source – unlike the ‘truth’ we get from the other guy. And what a way to start! My first guest tonight is a man who, until recently, was respected as the General Manager of HCW. A man who was supposed to have the company’s best interests at heart, but as we all found out… he had other plans. And now, he’s thrown his lot in with Count Vlad and the Dark Dominion. Please welcome—Max McGillicutty!"
(The lights dim, and ominous music plays as Max McGillicutty walks onto the set, wearing a smug grin. The crowd erupts in boos. He’s dressed in a sharp black suit, a stark contrast to his previous look as a fair and just GM. He takes his seat across from Morton, smirking as he soaks in the negative reaction.)
Larry Morton: "Max, let’s cut to the chase. The world watched in shock on May 3rd when it was revealed that you—you—were the mole feeding information to Count Vlad and the Dark Dominion. After years of playing it straight, years of doing what was right, you threw it all away! So I have to ask—what the hell happened to you?"
(The crowd cheers at Larry’s bluntness, while Max leans back in his chair, completely unbothered.)
[Max chuckles, adjusting his tie before leaning toward the mic.]
Max McGillicutty: "Why, Larry? That’s what you want to ask me? After all these years, after everything I’ve done for HCW, that’s what you’re focused on? You’re as small-minded as these people booing me right now." You asked what happened to me, Larry? No, no, no. What happened to HCW? I spent years trying to do the right thing, trying to uphold the ‘tradition’ of this company. And where did that get me? Nowhere. I was underappreciated, underestimated, and overlooked. Meanwhile, Count Vlad and the Dark Dominion were growing stronger, and I had a choice—be a fool and stand against them… or be smart and stand with them. And I chose to be on the winning side.”
[The crowd erupts in loud jeers, chanting YOU SOLD OUT! Max waves them off with a smirk.]
Larry Morton: "Oh, give me a break! You were the one feeding Count Vlad information! You were the one tipping off the Dark Dominion! You chose to stab this company in the back, that’s what you did! You chose to sell your soul to Count Vlad!"
Max McGillicutty: (laughs coldly) "Sell my soul? No, Larry, I just finally opened my eyes. See, you—and all these idiots in the crowd—think HCW is about honor and tradition. But the truth is, power belongs to those strong enough to take it. And now, thanks to me, the Dark Dominion has more power than ever."
(The crowd boos loudly, chanting “YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT!” Max just smirks and adjusts his tie.)
Larry Morton: "Max, I’ve interviewed some of the slimiest, most underhanded scoundrels to ever set foot in an HCW ring, but you—you take the cake, my friend. So what now? You think you can just waltz around here, threatening jobs, backing up Count Vlad’s goons? What happens when the rest of the locker room decides they’ve had enough of you?"
Max McGillicutty: (leans in, voice cold and a sinister smile) "Larry, you’re lucky I even agreed to be on your little talk show tonight. But let me make one thing very clear—you better watch yourself. You could find yourself out of a job. And then what? Selling merch out in the parking lot? Sweeping floors after the show? Because make no mistake—there’s a new order in HCW, and if you’re not with us, you’re against us."
(The crowd gasps as Larry raises an eyebrow, clearly unshaken. He pauses, then slowly smirks, refusing to be intimidated.)
Larry Morton: "You think you scare me, Max? I’ve been doing this longer than you’ve been scheming behind the scenes. You want to fire me? Go ahead, make my day. But as long as I’ve got this microphone, I’m gonna keep calling it like I see it. And , I’ve got news for you. I’ve been in this business a long time, and I’ve seen guys like you come and go. The power trips, the threats, the arrogance—it never lasts. Because no matter how strong you and the Dark Dominion think you are, there’s one thing you can’t control: the will of these people!"
(The crowd erupts in cheers, chanting “LARRY! LARRY! LARRY!” Max scowls, realizing he won’t rattle the veteran interviewer. Max scoffs, clearly annoyed by the resistance.)
Max McGillicutty: "We’ll see about that, Larry. Enjoy your little show while it lasts… because soon enough, The Morton Report might just be canceled."
(Just as the tension reaches its peak, dramatic music hits and Biceps Bannerman walks onto the set. The crowd goes wild! Max stands up, looking annoyed as Biceps steps up to him, glaring.)
Biceps Bannerman: "I don’t know what’s worse, Max—your pathetic excuses or that smug little look on your face. You think just because you switched sides, you’re untouchable? Let’s see how untouchable you are when I get my hands on you!"
(Max smirks but takes a step back.)
Max McGillicutty: "Careful, Biceps. You don’t want to make an enemy out of the man pulling the strings now."
Larry Morton: "I think it’s a little late for that, Max."
(The crowd cheers as Biceps clenches his fists, ready to fight, but Max simply straightens his jacket and walks off, laughing to himself as he exits the set.)
Larry Morton: "Well, folks, there you have it! The so-called ‘justification’ from the man who turned his back on HCW. But something tells me this isn’t over. Not by a long shot! We’ll be back next time with another edition of The Morton Report! Until then—stay strong, HCW!"
[The crowd cheers as the show fades out, the tension in the air thick as the war for HCW’s soul rages on.]
After the segment aired, Count Vlad made his way out to the ring. Once in the ring, he summoned the Dark Dominion to join him. Out comes Azrael, the Fangs of Despair, Hell’s Fang, Terror Fang, Timber Fang, , the Night Stalkers, and Talia Nocturne. Absent were the Yeti, Korbi Kong and the World Ladies Champion Selena Blackfang.
Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson:
“Well this is rare—Count Vlad himself is in the ring, and he's summoned the entire Dark Dominion. You don’t call the hounds off the leash unless something serious is going down.”
Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris:
“That's Azrael, Jack Lumber, Terror Fang, Shadowfang, Bloodfang, Nightfang, Dr. Red Fang, and the Morningstar… that’s a death squad right there! And can’t forget the crazy Talia Nocturne.”
The ring is packed with menace. The Dominion members form a loose circle around Count Vlad, who clutches a microphone with a crooked smile.
Count Vlad (oozing sinister charm):
“My dear friends… tonight is not just a celebration. It is a warning. You see before you the most dangerous collection of beings to ever haunt this pathetic little company. Each of them a predator. Each of them a weapon.”
He paces the ring, tapping his fingers together.
Count Vlad:
“And I, Count Vlad, the maestro of madness, have cleansed this roster of the weak. The foolish. The irrelevant. Like… RIP. Rest in Pieces? Ha! More like rest in obscurity.”
The crowd boos hard.
Count Vlad (grinning wider):
“They were an embarrassment to violence. A disappointment to darkness. But their story is over. And we—”
THE LIGHTS SNAP TO BLACK.
A gasp ripples through the arena. Shouts. Flashbulbs.
When the lights come back on—
Carnage.
The entire Dark Dominion is laid out across the ring—Azrael slumped against the ropes, Nightfang writhing in pain, Jack Lumber clutching his ribs, Terror Fang unconscious under a broken kendo stick. The Morningstar is down. Dr. Red Fang, flat on his back, still twitching.
In the middle of it all, standing tall and menacing with baseball bats in hand, are:
BLACK MASS, silent, statuesque, breathing heavy.
KURSE the Death Dealer, scowling and covered in sweat
VENUS N.V., standing dead center, spinning her bat casually and nudging an unconscious Talia with her boot.
Venus N.V. (mocking):
“Count Vlad, sugah… this your little army? I expected more.”
Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson:
“RIP just obliterated the Dominion! WHAT is happening?!”
Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris:
“This is straight up gangland-style warfare. Vlad’s monsters got got.”
Count Vlad, frozen just outside the ring, stares in disbelief, backing up one step at a time—his smirk gone.
That’s when the music hits—
GM Max McGillicutty storms onto the stage, fuming.
Max McGillicutty (furious):
“Are you out of your minds?! You think you can pull this stunt on my show?!”
He points down the ramp, seething.
Max McGillicutty:
“You want chaos? You got it. Kurse. Black Mass. And VENUS N.V.—you’re all FIRED!”
Crowd boos heavily.
Max McGillicutty:
“And Venus? You know why your contract's invalid? Because you signed it—wait for it—‘Mickey Mouse.’ Real clever. You played yourself.”
Venus smirks and gives a mock bow.
Max McGillicutty (yelling):
“Security! Get down here and get these lunatics OUT OF MY BUILDING!”
THE LIGHTS GO OUT AGAIN.
Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson:
“Don’t blink, Johnny…”
When the lights come back on, RIP is gone.
No trace.
No exit.
Just the fallen Dominion scattered in the ring—and Max standing on the ramp, jaw clenched, furious.
Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris:
“They came. They saw. They took out the entire Dominion and disappeared like ghosts.”
Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson:
“Rest in Pieces is out of HCW—but they left one hell of an epitaph.”
More to come so stay tuned.
