SCOTT STEVENS vs.
DDK:
Ladies and gentleman, up next we’ve got… an… interesting… debut. A wrestler who was a part of Tag Party and has been wrestling in BRAZEN but has yet to make a proper appearance on DEFtv.
Lance:
Despite the maybe ridiculous nature of this wrestler, he has been generating a lot of buzz on the internet and…
Warner is cut off as the lights go out, bathing the DEFarena in darkness. The glow from The Faithful’s cellphones are all we see.
DDK:
And fans, I’m guessing this is the moment…
The haunting opening chords of…
♫ “Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" by Concrete Blonde ♫
...kick in as the DEFIANCE entranceway begins to fill with a billowing red mist. The fans in the arena begin to shake their glowing cell phones along with the beat, and just as the lyrics begin…
A RED SPOTLIGHT! It shines in the very center of the entrance way, illuminating a figure. The man is wearing a long black cape and he has it pulled up over his face so that he appears to be a single black blob. The figure remains this way for close to thirty seconds, building the tension.
DDK:
What’s going on? Is he…
Without warning, and with tons of dramatic flair, the figure opens his cape!! It flows behind him and we get our first look at the man known as COUNT NOVICK! He’s pale, naturally. He’s currently shirtless with black tights with a demonic looking red symbol running down the right leg. His jet-black hair is slicked back and he poses very dramatically, smirking with the confidence that only being a five hundred year old sex icon can bring.
Darren Quimby:
The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first… from Bran, Transylvania… COUNT NOVICK!
The crowd busts out a “AH! HA! HA!” in unison after Quimby announces Novick’s name. Still maintaining his suave demeanor, Novick begins to slowly walk to the ring, smirking at the fans in attendance. The red spotlight follows him as he does.
DDK:
This is so odd.
Lance:
This is DEFIANCE, Keebs.
DDK:
I know. But even for us…
Reaching the ring, Novick again pulls his cape up to cover everything but his eyes. He holds that position as he creeps up the ring steps. Finally, he leaps to the top rope, letting his cape flow dramatically as he looks out to the people. The arena lights turn back on.
DDK:
Well ladies and gentlemen, we don’t know who Novick’s first DEFIANCE opponent is going to be, but it looks like we’re about to hear from the… from the…
Lance:
It’s okay, you can say it.
DDK: [sighing]
Vampire. Dammit. I’m a professional.
Count Novick has a mic. When he speaks, he sounds exactly like you’d hear him in your head.
Count Novick:
DEFIANCE!!! You are about to get…
Dramatic pause.
Count Novick:
SPOOKY-SCARRRRYYY!! AH! HA! HA!
Suddenly, there’s a lightning flash effect throughout the arena.
Count Novick:
Now I know you think you’ve experienced spooky-scary before. Ve’ve seen the likes of The Kabal. Arthur Pleasant. But NO ONE has ever brought the level of spooky-sccary as COUNT NOVICK! I vill teach them ALL vhat it means to unleash PURE TERROR!! I have come to BURN DEFIANCE DOWN AND MAKE YOU ALL MEMBERS OF MY UNDEAD HORDE!!! AAAAAHH!! HA! HA!
Another lighting crack.
Count Novick:
And it all begins with Count Novick’s… first victim. Vhoever is back there… come out and meet your fate!
Novick turns and poses dramatically, facing the entranceway. We get about ten seconds of dramatic silence before…
“A TEXAS SIZE ASS WHOOPIN IS COMING BOY!”
A POP FROM THE FAITHFUL!
DDK:
OH MY! Count Novick may have… bitten off... more than he can chew here!
The slow bellow of the guitar hits as the video screen lights up and flashes across the screen a Texas flag with the words “Texas Born. Texas Bred.” “Texas Forever.“ branded into the flag. The Faithful did not expect this and not a single one of them is sitting. They know who is about to walk out and they are letting him know it by chanting his favorite chant as the final image that is displayed across the screen and that message reads in bold, capitalized letters… SCOTT STEVENS as...
♫ “Dead Man Walking" by Crucifix ft. The Lacs ♫
Plays throughout the arena.
DDK:
Scott Stevens, a former FIST of DEFIANCE who has recently been having his issues with Arthur Pleasant and Kerry Kuroyama…
Lance:
They’ll both be in action later tonight, but for right now Everyone’s Favorite Texan is going vampire hunting!
The wait is finally over as a spotlight shines towards the top of the entrance ramp and Scott Stevens appears from behind the curtain, and as soon as he makes his way to the edge of the stage golden pyro begins to rain down behind him as he raises his right fist high into the air.
Darren Quimbey:
And his opponent…...from The Great State of Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds…He is….SCOTT! STEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEENS!
As Stevens makes his way down the ramp he just smirks and shakes his head at the vocal bashers and fist bumps his supporters. In the ring, Count Novick is pacing with a smirk as his cape billows behind him.
DDK:
I wouldn’t want to be in The Count’s shoes. Stevens is likely in a foul mood given recent events, and he’s likely looking to take it out on somebody.
Stevens slowly makes his way around the ring completely focused on the task at hand until he reaches the nearest set of ring steps and proceeds to enter the ring. Once inside, Stevens goes to the nearest corner and ascends the ropes; looking out amongst the crowd before raising his fist into the air once more before dropping to the canvas as the former FIST shows no emotion as he stretches out on the ropes waiting for the bell. The Count has retreated back into the safety of his cape.
DING DING
Stevens is ready to grapple as The Count removes his cape and drapes it over the top rope. Novick turns toward Stevens, smiling. He begins a dramatic creep walk toward The Texan, snarling and circling Stevens. For his part, Scott is having absolutely none of this nonsense. He roughly grabs Novick by his neck and stares daggers into his eyes. The Count has a moment to semi “break character” and shake his head “no!” before Stevens tosses him into the corner and begins to unload with big right hands!
Lance:
Count Novick’s undead powers don’t seem to be protecting him from a Texas-sized butt kicking!
Novick tries to cover up as Stevens just kicks his ass. Eventually, Novick slumps into the corner. Brian Slater moves in, desperately trying to get Scott off the wounded vampire. Stevens reluctantly backs off, throwing his hands up and moving to the center of the ring. The Count dusts himself off and stands upright. He looks to Stevens with a snarl…
...and strikes a pose as he points one open hand toward Stevens. Novick furrows his eyes as he moves his fingers rhythmically toward the confused man from Texas.
DDK:
Is he… is he trying to hypnotize him? Okay. I can’t do this. Come on.
The fans have a laugh as Novick continues to wiggle his fingers… with no effect on Scott Stevens. Stevens turns to Brian Slater and the referee just shrugs. Finally… Stevens shrugs back… and superkicks Count Novick’s head nearly clean off!!
Lance:
REMEMBER THE ALAMO! Scott Stevens has had enough of these games.
Stevens takes a second to acknowledge the raucous crowd. Novick is down and out… but to everyone’s surprise, while laying flat on the mat, he crosses his arms as a corpse would… and KIPS UP!!! Novick is standing upright! He leans back and lets “AH! HA! HA!” loose, but the second he puts his head back down…
DDK:
THE FIST!!!!
Stevens leaping Superman Punch puts The Count back down for good. Scott looks down at the goofy competitor and shakes his head in a motion that says it all: “this boy ain’t right.” Stevens grabs Novick by the head and roughly pulls him back to his feet. He hooks him for the Toxic Sting! Before he drops him, he looks directly into the camera…
DDK:
You’ve got to think this is a message to Kerry Kuroyama!
Lance:
Stevens drops Novick with the TOXIC STING!
Without breaking his glare into the camera, Stevens places a single foot on The Count’s chest.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
DING DING DING
Darren Quimbey:
Your winner via pinfall…. SCOTT STEVENS!
The fans are on their feet as Stevens throws one final look of a combination of disgust/amusement at Novick before raising a single fist to the fans and ducking out of the ring.
DDK:
Not the debut Count Novick had in mind, I’m guessing.
Lance:
I’m sure he’ll get ‘em next time.
