Morning everyone.

Corey, what's up?

Great day, huh?

Hi.

Tab hennessy, pleasure.

Tab hennessy

hello.

Wow. Wow. Boom.

If it isn't baron Von

brashton himself.

Big fan, sir.

Thank you.

That cage match in

Pittsburgh in '95?

Sold out.

Sold out? That was a

heart-stopper.

Guess who was working

on top that night?

- This guy.

- This guy. Boom.

That guy.

Well hello, there, young lady.

I'm tab.

Tab hennessy, and I

love your sweater.

Those are mittens, tab.

Sorry, I interrupted?

Yes.

Yes. We were just... I was

just about to launch

into a few things.

So, I... my favourite

seats, they're in row 6.

Yes.

But 6a through 6g, the

whole row is a little wonky.

Seats are fine the way they are.

Yes.

Seats are totally fine.

Yes, no, I love those seats,

they're my favourite seats.

And what about pyrotechnics?

Is there any way-funny story.

We had a fuel spill here, back

in 2000, you put pyro,

this whole place goes up.

Boom like a box of kindling.

Don't want to blow everybody up.

Can I have a look?

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Hm. Wow. You put a lot of

thought into this,

but here's the problem, Corey.

Can I call you Corey?

I don't fault your

passion, at all.

But I did a quick tour here,

earlier, and this pavilion is

kind of, no offence intended

it's a sh*t-hole.

Hey, no sh*t.

I don't want to step on

anyone's toes, but I have a few

alternative ideas, if

anyone cares to hear them.

Finally, and I promise we can

move on after this last point,

I check the breaker board,

the light show Corey here's

proposing, it'll

blow the circuit.

May even cause a fire.

Could've killed us all.

Could've.

We'll need two 6,500-watt

gas generators.

One out front, and one out back.

Tab should be in charge.

Oh, guys, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I can't organise.

I can barely find my

pants in the morning.

You're in a really

nice suit right now.

Quiet, quiet.

The tab is talking.

Okay, where is your vip area?

We don't have a vip area.

This is athletic

dancing at its finest.

We need a vip area.

Okay. Done.

That whole front row there,

section that off,

that's our vip area.

Bruno, vip area.

Very good. Vip.

These electronics on this

table, are these

plugged into the intercom?

I don't have a clue.

Bruno?

I'll make sure that they are.

Okay, please do that.

Now, where do your athletes

enter around here?

Wrestlers?

- The athletes, yes.

- Down there.

Down here? Okay. We

need a red carpet.

Sheena enters with a red carpet.

Why the hell is there no

red carpet down there?

- What?

- Okay. Okay.

Who's the beast?

- Oh, hey, that's...

- Don't touch me.

Okay. That's Renee partridge.

Please don't touch me.

Sure. He drives the giant hot

dog truck down the street

yeah. His handle is

merciless mordecai.

Hey, hey, that doesn't go there.

Put it up higher.

Really going to let that

pretty boy get in your way?

That pretty boy just took

over the entire thing.

Back, there perfect.

I mean, I had a

solid plan. You know?

Everybody's looking at me like

I'm a mass murderer, it's crazy.

Look at him, he's

so manipulative.

What is he doing right now?

Tabloom hennessy the third.

Man with amazing cheekbones and

the most chiseled earlobes

I've ever seen.

You know, I had to fight the

urge to kiss him on the mouth

when he was talking earlier.

You're cute too.

I get it, I do. Okay?

Figure something out.

Nah, forget it.

I'll make sure he's

out of the picture.

God, look at these girls.

They need my help.

What do you mean,

out of the picture?

I'm on it.

That sounded weirdly

threatening.

Yo, Andrea.

Luke, Luke, I can handle him.

Luke.

We need to talk.

Luke, I can handle him, Luke.

Like this.

Oh. See that?

I love this town.

So pumped about the

timing of this, Corey.

Me being here for this, I can

really put my thumbprint on it.

Make it a night people

remember for years.

I'm going to

transform this place.

That's cool.

That's sort of sheena's

thing, though, right?

Who else should it be for?

I don't know.

Just sort of used the word

"I" a lot just then.

We're going to be

like that, are we?

Voices from ring:

Good, Thursday.

All right.

Elbow.

Okay? Like this.

Right?

Okay?

Like this, right?

You've got to get some speed.

Yes, no, no, that's good.

That's good.

Thank you.

Yes, that was a very

informative tutorial.

Yes, I thought so.

Hey, why are you doing this?

I want to make your

performance more believable.

Now, headlock...

No, I mean,

what's in it for you?

What do you mean?

You and Corey barely knew

each other in high school.

Mm-hmm.

I just want you to know that if

you put one toe out of line,

I will break your limbs.

And then bury you alive.

You read me?

Yes.

Why don't you take a shot at me?

What?

Yes, yes. Get him

the chair angel

just help me warm up.

You want me to hit you?

Yes. It would

really help me out.

Oh, I don't know.

With a chair?

Mm-hmm.

You know, I don't feel

comfortable with that,

you being a woman and

me being a man.

I'm fine with it.

I think I should... chair shot.

Oh.

Ow.

Nosebleed.

Check that out.

That's good.

That's good.

Where were you, bud?

I had to run an errand.

You okay?

Yes.

I got blasted in the

face with a chair.

I'm freaking awesome.

Where are you going

with those chairs.

- Put them here.

- No. Put them back here.

Hold up, where are

you going with her?

Over there.

- Is that where she goes?

- Yes.

Okay. Then get her over there.

Hey, you all right, tab?

Yes, I'm fine. Fine.

Luke, hey.

Hey, did you do

something to tab?

What did you... I told

you I could handle him.

What did you do?

Oh, is he in the hospital?

What? No. No, he's just...

Has digestive issues,

it looks like.

- Nice.

- What did you do?

- Cut the brakes to his car.

- What?

Yes. He's sick too? Bonus.

Announcer:
Beginning of

the end for Horatio.

Pile-driver.

That should do it.

One.

Two.

Three.

Ring the bell.

The winner.

That is a scary

individual, right there.

Crowd:
You suck. You suck. You

suck. You suck. You suck.

Mordecai, you cannot

work that stiff

with an old man like Horatio.

Hey, I hear your point and

I don't disagree with you,

but there's a time and a place.

We have guys who

can work that stiff.

In my day, I liked

it snug like that.

Can you imagine me and you in my

prime, would have taken every

puma in Mexico City to town.

Corey.

Corey.

What?

I need you to do me a favour.

What? Oh, yeah, anything.

Come here.

What's up?

I need you to slap

me in the face.

What?

I just, I need some adrenaline.

What are you talk-no.

What? No.

Look, Corey, come on. I do

it on the road all the time.

Just hit me as hard as you can.

No.

Corey, I'm asking you to hit me.

- What-

- so hit me.

I can't hit you.

Are you kidding?

Slap me.

I'm not gonna slap you.

I can't hit you.

Corey!

No.

You're a girl.

I'm not gonna hit you.

Grow a pair and hit me.

Okay.

All right.

I'm gonna hit you.

Okay.

Okay.
