Downtown Chicago, a few blocks from the IWF Performance Center, mid morning.

Just a few blocks from the IWF Performance Center is where we find ourselves, we see a man in a suit standing outside of what looks to be a 5 floor apartment building in downtown Chicago. He looks at his watch as a 2017 Cadillac Escalade pulls up, we can heard the bass in the speakers rattling the windows as it does so. The engine cuts off and Will Fenell slides out of the rental SUV.

Will: Robbie the realtor long time no see homes.

The two clasp hands and give each other a shoulder to shoulder bro hug.

Robbie: Good to see you again bro. So you looking to move to Chicago huh? Dirty south getting to hot for you old man?

Will: Haha I'm only two years older than you homes.

Robbie: Yet I still graduated before you.

Will: Because yous a nerd. But yeah, I've got me a new shorty here in town and been spending more and more time here, and she needs her own place so I thought maybe I could find something for da two of us.

Robbie: Whoa wait a second, Playa Playa Will looking to settle down? Say it aint so.

Will: Its so homes, I guess...we'll see how she reacts to dis...so whatcha got for me here?

Robbie: Yes, well, this is one of the few properties that match your location request, it's a brand new build. 6 Floors, each floor its own unit, each unit with its own vibe. They have just opened this up for showing and you've lucked out being the first person to see it, meaning you get first pick on what unit you'd want if you find one you like that is.

Will: Cool cool, let's take a look.

They head towards the building, Robbie leads him to the side of the building.

Robbie: Let's start with the basement unit.

They head down some stairs and enter a large, dimly lit basement condo.

Robbie: Now this unit, even though it's the bottom floor, is a fine unit. It's good for someone who might not be here all the time, comes and goes as they please, but still want to have a unit in this building just to say they have one.

Will: Eh sounds like a unit someone who's just happy to live here would be down with, that and the lighting in here kinda sucks.

Robbie: If one was to invest some time on this unit it really good be GREAT but with your schedule maybe it's not the best fit?

Will: Naw, and I aint a fan of basements, dey flood and get roaches.

Robbie: This aint the south my friend but ok let's go on to the next floor.

They head out and enter the building into the first floor unit.

Robbie: This is your ground floor unit. Very basic layout, simple, clean, 1 bedroom, 1 bath.

Will looks around looking underwhelmed.

Will: This one is generic as fuck dawg. Like, yeah I might be able to liven it up a bit with some personality but at its core....this one bores me to death, I can see the vanilla paint drying.

Robbie: Fair enough, maybe the next unit will be more your speed, you said this was for you and your girl right?

Will: Well, more for her but I'm hopin’ she lets this stray stay know what I'm sayin’.

Robbie: I hear you. Come on this next unit is neat.

They head up to the 2nd floor, the 3rd unit. This one is a bit more unique of a lay out, almost as if it's two apartments in one.

Will: What in the devils hell is this?

Robbie: This is a duel unit, unit.

Will: Uh huh.

Robbie: It can be one large unit for two people who might not want to share everything, but still live together, or check this.

He goes to the wall where the two kitchens met up, and pulls on the wall creating a separation wall to slide out.

Robbie: And if the two people here get tired of each other, they can just pull this wall closed and they have their own privacy. So say you and your girl have a falling out, you close this wall and you can live out your lease in peace.

Will: Lease? Naw homes, I ain’t rentin’, I'm buyin’.

Robbie: Oh it's like that now is it baller?

Will: ...yeah kinda.

Robbie: Ha ok, well the owner isnt looking to sell this one he wants to keep this one a rental but the last two, are very much for sale. Let’s go check out the next one.

They head out and up to the next floor, they walk into the unit and it's a completly open flat where only the bathroom is walled off everything else is completely open.

Will: Where...where are the walls?

Robbie: This is what they call an upscale studio apartment, this would be for your artistic type, like you, a bit odd and eccentric that have their own unique style, you know the type.

Will just blinks at him, looks around again then shakes his head.

Will: I need walls man, this openness is just a bit too....exposed for me. Like, if I'm walking around the house nude I don't need my girl seeing me scratchin’ at my ass from anywhere in da unit ya know?

Robbie: HAHA Ok, we have one more to check out.

Will already looking defeated shrugs and follows his friend up to the final unit.

Robbie: Now, before we enter I have to let you know, this unit is double the price of the other ones, being the penthouse and having its own private roof balcony makes it very exclusive in this area.

Will: Sure if you say so, I mean these other units have been....

Robbie opens the door and they both walk in and Will stops in mid-sentence. The unit, a 2 bedroom 1 and half bath has style, has a view, and most importantly, has walls. The kitchen is brand-new and modern, and the view of downtown Chicago is to kill for. Will steps out onto the roof patio and takes a look around rubbing his hands together with a grin on his face.

Will: I like this one.

Robbie: Great! You want to bring your girl by tomorrow and have her check it out before we...

Will: Naw....let's do this. I'll take it.

Robbie: Re...oh...Shit ok yeah. I'll get the paper works and we'll contact the bank, who is your loan with?

Will: Loan? Ha I don't owe nobody nothing homes, this is a cash sale.

Robbie: I should have stuck with wrestling.

Will: Naw ya were too smart for that, leave dropping people on der head to me.

Robbie: And you leave the paper work for this to me. It might take a few days to clear with the owner and the bank but we'll get this all worked out for you and hopefully we should be able to close sometime next week?

Will: Sounds good to me, I'll be busy all week with NOTI stuff and I gotta sell this idea to her so we aint moving anytime soon.

Robbie: Sounds good, let me make a few calls and we'll get the ball rolling.

Will nods as his friend walks off on the phone, he goes back to the patio and leans on the railing overlooking the city.

Will: It aint da A.T.L ...but….this could be home.

Hey, never mind what haters say
Ignore 'em 'til they fade away
Amazin' they ungrateful
After all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way
For you cats to get paid today
You'd still be wastin' days away
Now had I never saved the day

The Horseshoe Stadium, Columbus Ohio, home of THE Ohio State University Buckeyes, and this week ground zero for The Night of Immortals.

We open up on Grandpa Kaos wearing his signature 3 piece suit, standing in the middle of the IWF ring being set up for this years Night Of The Immortals, the scene is shot just to show the center of the ring and Mr. Kaos as to not give away what the stage set up looks like. In the background we can see Will doing suicides up and down the stadium stairs.

"Welcome to the House that Harley built! Right here in the heart of the Biggest Small Town in America, Columbus Ohio and YOUR home for the biggest entertainment and sports show in the world, IWF's Night of Immortals. I am of course your Grandpa Kaos here to get you up to speed on what is to come this Sunday right here in the middle of this ring. So if you've been living under a rock and are out of the loop, let me, as my client would say, putcha onto the game.

Night of the Immortals is IWF's biggest event of the year. This is the event that they consider the start of their new year, the start of their season if you will. It is an event where careers are made, and ended. Where anything can, and will happen.

And this year, this year is shaping up to be the biggest one yet. From top to bottom this years Night of the Immortals is stacked with hate, intrigue, respect, more hate, resentment, more respect, and pure competition.

You need to look no further than the main event itself, where Cable Arcane will defend his Imperial Championship against the man who earned his title shot fair and square, who has earned the respect of all the IWF faithful, and who will go out there and give it his all to take that title away from Cable, the North Star Andrew Jacobsen. And let me tell you folks, my back? It already hurts just thinking about what could happen in this match. These two men are going to go out there for just the pure competition of it, and go to war with each other to prove to themselves, and to the world, that they are the very best that the IWF has to offer.

But that's not all, ALL of IWF's championships will be defended this Sunday at Night of the Immortals. You have Pandora Freeman challenging Paige Garcia for her Diamonds Championship, Warren Kane will be fighting his daddy, the God of Steel himself Spike Kane in a God of Steel rules match to try and take away the Man of Steel title from Spike who has had a death grip on that title ever since he beat JFK for it.

You also have Bob Pooler defending his Invictus Championship against a man who is rising up in the ranks here in the IWF, a man who some call the heart and soul of the IWF, the fun loving, ever goofy Jayson Matthews. And last but not least in our title defenses we have my girl, our ginga, Shea O'Hara challenging the very creepy and sadistic Sheildmaiden Champion, the woman simply known as Eternity.

Justice for Archie.

But that's not all, you thought I was done? You thought that was a stacked card? BUT WAIT THERES MORE! Three...count them, THREE grudge matches are also slated for this show, opening the show and making it hard for everyone else to follow you have Rowan MacDonnough challenging the Diamond in the Rough winner Charity Crowne to a Cell Match, you have Steve Awesome and Rob Diamond continuing their war against each other, and for the first time in god knows how long, Angel Blake returns to the IWF ring to face his longtime rival, the ever silent Falcon, in a falls count anywhere match.

Still not sold? Still haven’t ordered? What are you waiting for? This is going to be the event of the year, the show of the year, the one that people will be talking about decades from now and for a low $9.99 a month to the IWF network all that could be yours, but wait...you want more? YOU WANT EVEN MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!?

How about this year’s Joker in the Pack ladder match?

We'll toss that one in for free, just for being loyal fans.

Now...I I've heard a few things going around, a few dirt sheets talking shit, a few commentators taking shots at this years Joker in the Pack match, saying it's not as stacked in past years, that it doesn’t have the name power it once has had.

Bullshit.

This year’s Joker in the Pack could be the best one ever. Sure, there's not Steve Awesomes, or Mike Lazlos in this match, but look at who IS in this match.

You have Greatness Personified in Derek Brooks, who, yes granted is a part timer and only shows up when he wants people to remember he still works here, but when he does show up? When he's actually motivated to work a real job and not pretend to be someone else in some Hollywood studio somewhere? The man can go as well as anyone else on this roster.

You have the Dealer of Density, the CWI winner, Devlin Raine, who, sure came up short in his attempt to win the Invictus title from Bob Pooler, but that has only motivated him to be better, and to continue to fight scrap and claw his way to the top, and I've seen this kid go up-close, day in and day out, it will be just a matter of time before he becomes champion, and Devlin, you want that push to the top? Call me.

Speaking of people who have been at the top, that brings us to the only person in this match who has actually held a title, The Man of Steel title at that, Mr. Cookie cutter vanilla ice cream himself, the man with two first names, Ryan Shane. What can one say about this man?

No I'm really asking, I’ve watched tape on the guy and he has the personality of a flat wall. Sure he's good in the ring, and he's won a title before but, really...who is Ryan Shane?

The world may never know.

And we can’t forget about the two evil koalas in the Lost Boys, Sam Braxton and Dean Coulter who, last week, even though I kinda of agree with what they did, they took a powder, a walk, on their tag partner and left JOH-NNY FUCK-BOY!"

Will clap clap clapclapclap's in the background

"High and dry to defend himself, now they said it's because they can’t stand fuck face, understandable, but the fact of the matter is, they showed no drive to win that match, and it makes me question their drive to win this match, maybe they are just happy to be here, to be in America and in the IWF showcasing their talents, and god knows if they are going to work together, or against each other, because at the end of the day boys, only one of you can win."

Will comes into the shot from the side, covered in sweat from the suicides he was doing.

"But you wont. Listen up boys, all yall. I don't know what Grandpa here has been sayin aboutcha fools, probably all good shit because dats the type of man he is, but yall done got it twisted. Joker in the Pack? I'm going to go out there, and I'm going to plant each and every one of ya fuck boy's on ya head. Den, I'm going to climb that ladder, take dat contract and guarantee myself an Imperial Championship match. And den, I am going to go on and WIN dat match, and prove to the world, I am what I say I am, the best GOD DAMN WRESTLER IN THE WORLD!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Lifes a bitch boys, and I done fucked her raw. I got da baddest chick on the roster by my side, I got the best crew a dude can ask for riding with me, I'm on top of the world homes!

Climbing dat ladder? Hehe, that's the easy part."

He two sweets the camera.

"Whatcha know about DAT!"

He turns and walks off camera as it fades to black, but just before it cuts off we hear Will yell JUSTICE FOR ARCHIE!

I'm the opposite of moderate
Immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustler
And the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit
Impartial to the politics
Articulate
But still'll grab a #$^!* by the collar quick

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center, Columbus Ohio. Penthouse Suit.

JFK is putting on a tux jacket in the middle of the common room in his penthouse suit in The Blackwell Inn, a 5 star hotel in walking distance to the Horseshoe where IWF is holding its biggest show of the year, Night of The Immortals. Will comes walking in adjusting his jacket, his bow tie completely jacked up.

Will: Tell me again why I gotta do dis shit?

JFK shakes his head in disbelief over Will's bow tie and goes to fix it.

JFK: Hold still. And why? Because you are in one of the biggest matches in the biggest show of the year.

Will: Holding his head up so James can fix his tie. So?

JFK: So, if you truly want to be known as the best wrestler in the world...

Will: Best Goddamn wrestler in the world...

JFK: Yeah well with that comes doing things like this that you might not like, but if you want to be the face of this company if you want to be known as the best then you have to appearances and gala's like this.

Will: Yeah but this is just going to be a bunch of rich stuffy stuck up assholes kissin each other’s asses.

JFK: There done. He finishes fixing Will's tie. And they'll be kissing you and Shea's ass the most, get used to it bro this is what you wanted.

Will: I want to wrestle, when you coming back so you can handle all this shit for me?

JFK: I'm going to be making an announcement covering all that and more the first show after NOTI. But as far as tonight goes, just be yourself, well...be your gentleman self, not your thug self.

Just then JFK's wife Christina comes walking out of the bedroom wearing a gorgeous gold and white low v cut, and open legged Gala Dress.

Christina: Boy's. I present to you, IWF's next Shieldmaiden, the lovely, the radiant Punk Rock Princess, Shea O'Hara.

She motions to the door as Shea comes walking out slowly, a bit nervous as she's wearing a elegant black corset styled dress with a knee high front and long calf length train in the back dress, it has a touch of her punk rock flair to it also making her look like a High Society Punk Princess.

Will: Whooa, hot damn.

JFK leans to his side and whispers to Will.

JFK: She just might be a keeper.

Will still mesmerized walks towards Shea as the Karns give them space and start to head towards the front door.

Shea: Say….say something please.

Will: You look absolutely stunning.

She blushes.

Shea: I feel silly. I don't even know why we have to do this.

Will: Right? I said the same thing but Jim was all like "comes with the territory" or some shit..

He looks her up and down once more having her spin for him and he smiles.

Will: At least you don’t look like a penguin like I do.

She gives him a light quick kiss.

Shea: But you'll be the cutest penguin at this event.

Will: Grrrrl all eyes are goin' to be on you, no doubt.

She locks arms with him.

Shea: As long as you are by my side they can stare all they want.

Will nods and smiles to himself, for the first time in a long time, if ever, life is good.

No.

Life is GREAT.

The life, my life
I do it how I wanna do
I'm livin' my life, my life
I will never lose
I'm livin' my life, my life
And I'll never stop it
