The lights go out as “Iron Man (Remix)” by Black Sabbath FT. GWAP LOK BOZO BOSCO hits the Folly Theater.
WE ARE PUNISHMENT

Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Capital Punishment
Now follow us through the darkness
Where you will witness everyone and anyone who has ever doubted us perish
And all those that have been charged with treason are guilty until proven innocent in the court of...
Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Punishment, Capital Punishment
A singular spotlight emerges on the curtain as Frank Washington is standing front and center. Immediately to his right was his right hand man, his hitman, his hound, Wolf Parker. Frank was wearing the suit from earlier but with the addition of a single rose tucked into his front pocket on his blazer, The boos where deafening as the partners in crime, the 2/3rds of the former Uprising that nearly brought the ICWA to it's knees several years ago made their way to the ring.
Gavin Grey: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome at this time the Co-Head of Talent Relations, The Revolutionary Turncoat, Frank Washington and Wolf Parker!
DIC: Well if there were any doubt about your boy? He just appeared to readopt the moniker he was best known by years ago! The Frank Washington that made Robert Garland's life a living hell, the Frank Washington that would stab anyone and anybody in the back if it meant advancing his master plan! This is the Mastermind that was two weeks away from becoming ICWA World Heavyweight Champion before they closed their doors! This is the Frank Washington that is personally my favorite wrestler!
Smith: …
Silence spoke volumes as far as Alex Smith was concerned. Watching his best friend seemingly returning to his old ways after years of being on the straight and narrow; a man that was apparently reformed and learned from his past was no more. He was divided, Smith knew why Frank was doing this; he too was assaulted by the very man Frank turned against but he stopped short so far of endorsing his methods.
As Frank and Wolf made their way into the ring Frank reached into his coat and revealed an unbranded microphone, the MSW logos stripped from it. Just a simple, ordinary black microphone.
FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK! FUCK YOU FRANK!
Frank, much like a conductor swung his hands in the air like a conductor leading an orchestra. The crowd was relentless and livid, unlike the people of San Francisco these weren't his people nor was Kansas City his hometown; it was Drew's. Where as Frank was the toast of the town in San Fran at the end of the last Unstoppable the tables were dramatically turned here and he seemed to take it all in as if he were receiving a hero's welcome all the same.
Frank Washington: I love you too, Kansas City. See I expected nothing less from the likes of you. Drew Stevenson has you all wrapped around the palm of his hand feeding into his lies and drinking his propaganda faster than the 900 strong in Jonestown.
Jonestown, of course being the horrific and one of the most prolific instances of mass suicide in modern history. Reverend Jim Jones had a hold over his followers, so much so that people willingly gave up their lives to him, mindlessly so because they believed every single lie he ever told them.
Frank Washington: Your hero is a pathological liar. Take it from one of the people that knew him best. Yeah, he's got charisma, the gift of a silver tongue and if you're not careful he could pull you in and make you believe whatever he told you. The four of us, myself, Scotty Addams, Drew Stevenson, and Frankie Cocheese; I didn't forget about you like the rest of these sheep...
FUCK HIM TOO! FUCK HIM TOO! FUCK HIM TOO! FUCK HIM TOO! FUCK HIM TOO! FUCK HIM TOO!
Frank Washington: The four of us were known as The Jokers Wild, a group that came together because we originally had a common goal that brought us all together; we weren't getting our fair share. We saw the same song and dance be played over and over and over in front of us, all the backstage politics and the broken promises; we came together to challenge all that and pull back that curtain they tried to hide from everyone from far too long. We exposed the cogs and wheels of the machine itself. We were Edward Snowden before he became the man he is today. Drew Stevenson was the one who brought us all together, approaching us all individually one by one and for a while he appeared to be right on the money. But slowly but surely we began to see his real face. Frankie Cocheese stepped away to deal with his own personal business and he didn't even get a simple “thank you for your service” even though the man had the wrestling scene by the balls several months before. On Twitter everything began to revolve around Drew Stevenson, Drew Stevenson began to make enemies out of everyone and we were expected to join him on the front lines because of “brotherhood”
Frank began to pace methodically around the ring, his mind was racing but it was all racing towards a destination, a finish line; a point.
Frank Washington: And we beat them, we beat every single one of them whether it was in a war of wits or in a wrestling ring. We beat them because we were a collection of the best wrestlers to ever walk God's green earth; we held 75% of the gold in what was the largest national promotion in North America at one point in time. And let me tell you something, the alumni of this... redacted promotion that I will not name for legal reasons still hold a grudge years later over it. Yet even when we were at the apex, the pinnacle of this industry the spotlight still found it's way to Drew Stevenson. Drew always got the World Championship matches, Drew always got the first pick as far as promoters were concerned. Yet I was naive at the time, I thought Drew Stevenson was my friend, we were a family, brothers and to make sure there was enough to go around none of us could afford to get picky or greedy; except for Drew.
Then on that fateful day in San Francisco, May 20th, 2015... ONE YEAR AGO... yesterday; I. Woke. Up. I woke up and saw the man for who he truly is!
WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW! WE WANT DREW!
Frank's eyes widen as Wolf Parker laughed maniacally at the crowd, his own maniac pacing unsettling several people in the front row.
Frank Washington: OH! You want Drew? You people want Drew Stevenson? You may want to be careful what you wish for because tonight I'm going to give it to you!
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Frank Washington: I know IC3 isn't anyone's... favorite wrestling promoter but he is one hell of a businessman. I will never take that away from him. One year ago he owned a promotion by the name of Golden Gate Wrestling and even though they were forced to close their doors as a result of a lawsuit that was eventually defeated in court he does retain the video library. Upon purchasing Missouri State Wrestling the Golden Gate Wrestling video library and archives became property of MSW. You want Drew Stevenson? You got him. Roll the footage.

Golden Gate Championship
No Disqualification - There Must Be A Winner
Frank Washington vs Drew Stevenson
Referee: Jack Williams
As Washington makes it back to his feet Stevenson pounces on the opening and leaps to his feet, hitting him with a devastating chop block, causing him to scream in pain as he falls to the ground. Stevenson slams his knee on the ground several times before positioning it on the apron and jumping on it feet first upon climbing on the apron himself. Stevenson makes a choking gesture with his hands around his own neck much to the disgust of the crowd before he slides the hometown hero back into the ring. Stevenson drags his leg to the ringpost and slams it repeatedly against it as Jack Williams can do nothing but watch. With a sinister grin Stevenson yells at Washington to quit who despite the damage his leg has taken defiantly refuses. Stevenson warns him one more time before running his leg full speed again the post and still Washington refuses to give in. Finally deciding that enough was enough Stevenson goes for one more figure four leglock but this time opting to wrap it around the ringpost as he applies the BoneCrusher (Figure Four Leg Lock around the ring post). Washington screams in agony as he tries in vain to escape the hold until a very nasty, blood curdling *CRUNCH* can be heard. Jack Williams immediately calls for the bell as Frank Washington could be seen turning pale from the sheer pain. Stevenson takes his time to release the hold as Joe Angelini and Bobby Brooks run out to help Jack Williams pry Stevenson out of the hold.
Julian Masterson: Here is your winner as a result of referee stoppage and the first ever Golden Gate Champion... Drew Stevenson
"I'm the Man" by Aloe Blacc can be heard playing as the much ends as the trio of referees do their best to pry Stevenson out of the hold and away from Frank Washington. Steven O’Reilly, head of Talent Relations for GGW emerges from the back with a medical team and finally the referees are able to force Stevenson to break the hold. Frank Washington is screaming in pain clutching his leg as the crowd showers the arena with boos, some people beginning to toss trash into the ring as Stevenson looks absolutely remorseless.
Mark Robertson: Finally Golden Gate Wrestling has a Champion they can be proud of! Hard fought victory, well deserved!
Alexander Smith: He broke Frank’s leg! How could you, how could anyone be proud of that? I understand that this is a very physical sport; I get that but nobody wants to see someone’s livelihood get taken away from them! He planned on that, he intentionally tried to break his leg and he did it that son of a bitch! Some brother! How can he be proud of himself?
Mark Robertson: He should’ve tapped out! The hold under No Disqualification rules is completely legal and he should’ve swallowed his pride.
Alexander Smith: Swallowed his pride? Are you kidding me? It took 3 grown men just to force him to break that hold; he had no intentions of letting go until he crippled the man! He should be fired! Drew Stevenson is a disgrace to professional wrestling! He can go straight to hell!
Drew Stevenson throws his hands up and slides out of the ring as the medical staff reaches ringside. Stevenson feigns going for his belt and instead shoves the medical staff out of the way as he starts to stomp mercilessly on the broken leg which causes fans to throw chairs now into the ring out of protest. Alexander Smith seeing enough throws his headset down and takes his tie off as he goes to personally intervene. Smith tackles Stevenson off of Frank Washington but quickly gets punched in the face and then mounted by Stevenson who unleashes several more. As Alexander Smith begins to bleed from his forehead Stevenson runs his hand over it and wipes it over his chest with a sinister grin before shoving his face into the ground. The crowd’s deafening boos quickly turn to cheers as Shawna Martinez darts out from the back with a steel chair in hand. Drew’s eyes nearly pop out of their sockets as he sees her making a bee line to the ring and quickly tries to evade her by running around the ring. Shawna nearly manages to catch him and slams the chair hard against the ringpost; just barely missing his head.
Just before she can get another shot Hans Vandenberg, Head of Security grabs the chair from behind and yanks it out of her hands as the crowd nearly riots on the spot. Security begins to pile out from the back trying to keep the situation under control and even members of the police department soon join them coming out from the back. Shawna throws a right hook straight into the jaw of Hans who even seems to be taken off-guard as he throws his sunglasses off in a fit of rage. At this point security grabs ahold of Shawna to prevent her from pursuing Stevenson or further assaulting Hans.
Meanwhile as all of this is happening Steven O’Reilly and the medical team try to tend to Frank’s injuries and soon after a stretcher is wheeled out as they show the utmost care not to aggravate a severe injury any further. Several members of security split off from the main group to personally escort the medical team out of the arena.
The crowd fell silent out of shock, at the graphic archival footage that Frank Washington just aired. The camera manages to capture Alex Smith sitting at ringside removing his glasses, burying his hands in his face and taking his headset off having to relive that moment all over again. DIC is watching like a kid in a candy shop wanting to hear more and more of the story. Wolf shook his head having to watch his friend suffer such a grisly fate, the only perfectly normal reaction a camera has caught of him in who knows how long.
Frank Washington: That's your hero, THAT IS YOUR HOMETOWN HERO!
The intensity in his eyes were breathtaking and the passion in his voice so palpable that one would think the heater immediately kicked on in the arena. As a man who rarely shouted so it was a scary thing to see such a calm, calculated man roused to such a degree.
Frank Washington: So if stabbing Drew Stevenson in the back makes me a traitor, a Turncoat then I'm guilty as charged because he's the one who put the knife in my hand to begin with. You think you're sorry Drew? You will be. Because now that I have you right where I want you I'm going to make you squirm and squeal; I'm going to make you suffer. I'm going to take everything away from you piece by piece until all that's left is a shell of a broken man. Then and only then will I finally put you out of your misery and end your career once and for all. The reign of the Warforged Charlatan is coming to an end; and that my friends... is Revolutionary.
With that Frank Washington literally drops the microphone in the middle of the ring as he and Wolf make their way to the back.
