The SplatTV cameras catch “The Man with Venom in his Veins”, Xavier Lux, as he is coming out of a bungalow he is staying at in beautiful Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. He is looking in rough shape however, unshaven, bags under his eyes, dirty clothes, and as he notices the camera, he mumbles something along the lines of…
“Not today, Satan…”
He goes back inside, and a montage begins, showing days and nights go by, and on the nights, he comes out through a window, completely avoiding SplatTV, coming back sometime in the morning, dragging himself to the bungalow, or sometimes being dragged by others. Then one night his Godfather and manager, Paco “The Drinking Time Bomb” Perez along with a couple of local ladies go in, carrying bags full of who knows what as well as the resort’s housekeepers. Montage shows as the ladies revive him, Paco yelling at him non-stop, the housekeepers cleaning up the mess, and the following day, at end of the montage, he comes out and looks like a completely different person. He wears colorful Bermuda shorts, brown Oakley sandals and a black CCPE tank top with a clip-on microphone. Green Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses sit on his freshly shaved head.
“Mornin’ SplatTV!”
Someone off-screen tells him it’s four PM in the afternoon.
“Thank you, father time, it’s morning somewhere, right? Anyway, sorry about that, dealing with some uh, stuff… Plus it’s been a while since I’ve had a camera crew follow me in this format but let’s see if I remember how this works. We’re going to cut away from this beautiful place to a segment I pre-recorded where I’m going to talk about the reason I am here, and while you guys watch that, I am going to go look for some breakfast. Cool?”
Same person tells him it’s dinner time.
“WHATEVER MAN!”
He walks away cursing, heading to the outdoors buffet area as the video transitions to a SplatTV studio. Xavier sits on a stool, wearing a nice blue suit, with a graphic behind him of the World Series of Wrestling. His name appears on the bottom right-hand side, and underneath it reads “Lucky 7 Entrant”… Someone in the background curses and says: “that was not supposed to be there anymore!”. Xavier chuckles, then begins.
“I am in Waikiki for the Tara Fenix Charity Event that runs from October 28th to the 30th. This is the second year this event is held, and this year I couldn’t pass up the opportunity… Well two of them, but one I was tricked into taking.”
Someone off-screen tells him “You were really drunk when you entered, no one tricked you.”
“No one asked you Phil. Anyway, I am booked twice: night one, I am entered in the Charity Rumble representing my home promotion, XWF and participating on behalf of: “Save the Children”. Not sure why, I don’t (bleep)ing have any kids nor do I care about anyone else’s, and charity is more of Cholo’s thing… Don’t worry about who that is, so sick of that happy mother (bleep). But I AM here for the main event as one of the five members of Team “Chronic” Chris Page! We are taking on a team being led by “Deathproof” Corey Black, in a survivor series type of match. That is the match that I am looking forward to, as it is a huge opportunity to get my name out there and show that I belong not only in CCP Enterprises, not only in SplatTV’s showcase, but in the ring with some of the big names in this industry today. I mean just in my team alone we have James Raven-”
Same person asks him: “Don’t you guys hate each other?”
“More than Peter Vaughn hates that ShamWow guy, but for Team Page, we’re putting our differences aside. Speaking of, he is also my partner… Peter, not the guy who got beat up by a hooker. Anyway, Mark Flynn who is the current XWF Universal champion and Cannabis Cup winner is also in our team… and last, but definitely not least, Sebastian Everett Bryce III, better known as SEB is our team captain. A legend.”
He pauses for a second.
“You know, you didn’t see this, or at least I don’t think you have, but in our audition tapes for the this show, they asked us if we could wrestle anyone, who would it be… and I won’t get into my answer as it got very emotional, and very dark, and I’m trying to keep this very upbeat and fun, two things I’m not used to doing, but hoping it pays off. What I am getting at is that had someone told me during that audition that I would be in the main event of an international event, thousands of fans watching live, millions watching at home, with the guys I just mentioned plus Corey Black, another legend, and his team full of champions… I would have told you: “Sure, that’s who I would like to face, that’s the type of match I would like to be in.” But then rolled my eyes knowing it wasn’t ever going to happen…. Well, here I am, in that very match with all those future hall of famers. I can’t wait to show you guys what happens, but first, let’s watch the set-up.”
The SplatTV feed changes and the words “a few days before the TFCE…” are shown on the bottom right-hand side. We see Xavier shooting his promo for the TFCE and catch on some of the dialogue between him and the bartender, apparently someone just sent him a drink. He is contemplating drinking it, then chugs it down in one shot. He then turns to the bartender.
“Not bad, what’s the drink called anyway?”
“A blowjob…” the bartender replies, trying to hold back his laughter.
“Motherf-… Raven!”
Xavier stands up, looking for his so-called partner, stumbling away from the bar feeling funny. He makes his way down a stoned path that leads to the beach, but he stops by a lit torch, grabbing it for balance as his world is turning.
“That son of a (bleep) drugged me…But I’m on his team!” Just then two men dressed in pirate costumes approach Xavier, draw out their swords and hold them up to his throat.”
He tries to adjust his eyesight.
“Parley?” he says.
We go back ‘live’ to find Xavier having finished his ‘breakfast’ as he is sitting at a table for two overlooking the ocean drinking black coffee.
“Paco was right, this place is beautiful when you’re sober. I might not drink another drop… Lies. So yeah, I got kidnapped by some pirates, went on a crazy adventure that we don’t have time for, but feel free to watch it any time you want on the TFCE network. Here is the short of it though, the pirates took me to their ship, locked me up, eventually I broke free, fought a bunch of them, set their ship on fire, but didn’t get to find out who was behind it all….”
He motions for the camera man to get closer, then puts his hand to his mouth and whispers: “Rumor has it my daddy had come back from the dead once again, ha, I know. Check it out.”
Feed changes, we are now in the brig of the ship, the same two pirates from earlier come down the steps, swords drawn against Xavier who is annoyed.
“Enough of this (bleep)! I’m supposed to be back on that beach, relaxing, drinking, maybe finding a nice Hawaiian lady to spend the night with, not over here playing Jack (bleep) Sparrow with you two idiots.”
“The captain wants to meet you Venom.”
“Ah, you know my name…”
“We know your father…”
“Daddy?”
One of the pirates hits him with the pommel of his sword, knocking him out. We come back to the Splat TV special, and now Xavier is walking along the beach at night time, towards the TFCE Stadium where the wrestling extravaganza took place. He turns towards the camera and smirks.
“Couldn’t edit that last part out, SplatTV? Thanks. But it turns out they didn’t know my father, it was just mind games but by who? I didn’t get to find out as the ship blew up, I spent six and a half hours at sea, first on top of a board and guess what? Leo could have fit, that’s all I’m gonna say. Eventually I swam to a small rowboat that survived the explosion, oh, and that is part of my promo for the Night One Rumble, so if you want to watch that, again, same network, blah, blah, blah. But eventually, I would get rescued, here is a clip.”
The boat has made its way to the shore, Xavier can be heard inside of it groaning. There is someone at the beach, looking right at the boat and decides to approach it. Once he reaches the boat, he looks in and is shocked, recognizing Xavier. The man is Peter Vaughn, and he reaches in, slapping Xavier to wake him up and ask him what happened. Xavier can’t remember a thing; all he can manage to say before passing out again is…
“That was some blowjob…”
We’re back to the Splat TV special, and we are inside the arena, which is empty at the moment. The ring is still up and Xavier stands in the middle of it, looking at one of the corners.
“Did I dream it? Was it real? Watch for yourself and let me know. Anyway, here we are, where it all went down. This is where I drove Corey’s skull into the mat with ‘The Cure’. For those of you not familiar with my finisher move, it’s a Death Valley driver off the top… But not that weak ass shoulder throw some have made famous… The actual driver, that my… *pauses briefly* That my father used, though never off the top, he never left his feet that man. He was all about the groundwork… After the DVD he would get on top of his opponents and apply The Stinger, better known as the ‘Rings of Saturn’ to older folk, ‘The Brutalizer’ for the younger crowd. But anyway, I took his trademark up a notch and it was with that move that I pinned and eliminated their team captain in front of thousands…”
We get a match highlights courtesy of TFCE network. As we watch, we hear Xavier’s voice from his “pirate” promo for this match…
“If I can somehow be the one that eliminates you…”
Xavier climbs up to the top turnbuckle from the ring apron, and then takes Corey up onto his shoulders getting the crowd to pop as they see what’s about to transpire…
“If I can replicate what Page has already done and pin you...”
Xavier Lux takes Corey up and over with THE CURE! They crash on the mat, and Lux makes the cover:
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
“Man, that would make me feel invincible…”
We come back to SplatTV; Xavier is now sitting in the locker room of the arena with his eyes closed.
“That would make me feel… Death-proof.” He says as he then opens his eyes.
“That is the highlight of 2022 for me. You’re probably wondering if we won the match… if I survived? I didn’t, was second to last but my team did win and that’s all that matters…. “
He stands up and looks at the camera, looking melancholic.
“If I was to ask you to remember something from spending today with me, it would be to remember me at my highest point right there… Feeling “death-proof…” and not how you met me, when I wasn’t ready for you.”
“Because what you saw just now, that’s me living the dream…”
He forces a smile.
“…and what you saw then, is me living reality.”
The smiles fades away, Xavier sighs, removes the mic, and tosses it aside before walking offscreen.
