Voiceover: Hello and welcome to the newest sensation to sweep the nation: The Chaos Connection, where we interview a top IIW superstar on their recent matches and their most upcoming ones. This week’s guest is none other than Anthony Phoenix. I’m Jimmy Chaos and this is the Chaos Connection.
JC: Well welcome to the podcast and I see you’ve brought some hardware with you.
AP: That’s correct I’m now the 5-time IIW Hardcore champion. Nice ring to it huh?
JC: Yeah but that’s not all. I saw that you are going to be facing the current IIW Television champion, Rogue at World’s Collide for the title. You will be the first double champion in the IIW but also the first two-time champion of any division, granted you win; of course.
AP: What do you mean granted? I will win. You may be wondering what makes me so convinced?
JC: Yes.
AP: Well the last time Rogue faced me, I was shall we say a bit under the weather but always the dedicated worker, I came to the arena to wrestle. Now we all know what happened. I ended up with a severe bloody nose and I subsequently lost. That’s not going to happen this time around. I’m 100% hell I’m way beyond that and come World’s Collide; Rogue and the entire IIW universe will learn that.
JC: Good. It seems that this time around the match will be contested in a steel cage those kind of gimmick matches seem to be your forte since from the beginning of your now two time Hall of Fame career.
AP: That’s right, Jimmy. Long before I was known at the King of Controversy, I was known as the extreme wrestling machine. In some ways, I’ve never lost that killer extreme instinct as proven by this: the IIW 24/7 Hardcore title. And now I get to prove it to Rogue who’s made his name in extreme hardcore matches as well. This maybe the first time we’ve faced each other in such extreme means but don’t get me wrong when the dust settles, I will forever and always be the extreme wrestling machine and I will also be the new TV champion.
JC: Well good luck Phoenix.
AP: I won’t need it HE will.
JC: Let’s switch gears for a bit. What other matches are you interested in?
AP: The number one contenders match for the TV title of course. I mean convectional wisdom says to not look past your current opponent, but you’ve always got to be on your toes when it comes to wrestling and the IIW exactly.
JC: In that case, let’s play what if: What if you are the tv champion after World’s Collide who would you like to face and who do you think will come out on top?
AP: First off there will be no if but I digress. To be perfectly honest, I really don’t care who I face…just like when it was a question of Stoner or Rogue. Each bring something unique to the table but I do have my favorite that I’m rooting for and no I will not divulge who that is.
JC: Ok any other matches?
AP: Deane and DiStoner’s matches and the new guy Joseph that I beat for the 24/7 title. He made a quick burst onto the scene and I’m curious if he’s got the wherewithal to continue on that full steam ahead mentality.
JC: Speaking of your RevX mates, you three were up to your antics on Monday as Deane faced Myers. But true to fashion you came up a bit short and Deane lost against Myers. Also, prior to the match, Myers was heard saying that he intended on facing you sometime on down the line. Are you ready?
AP: Of course, I am. I’m always ready, granted you face me man to man.
JC: Isn’t that funny considering you latest RevX antics.
AP: There you go again with RevX antics. Just what are you insinuating?
JC: Well, Myers let it be known that he thought you and Deane were DiStoner’s lap dogs, stooges if you will.
AP: I am no stooge and certainly no one’s lap dog. My name is Anthony Phoenix and I make my own decisions. Ok, Jimmy; I have another pressing engagement are there any other questions?
JC: No.
AP: Ok, well Rogue…you’re probably going to say that my focus is elsewhere and not on the task at hand. Well guess what? My laser focus is on regaining that title that is currently around your waist. You’re probably going to also say that I don’t stand a chance as proven by our last meeting. Well you did have me at 50 to 75% will you be able to say the same when I stand before you at 100%, NOOOO. You’re also going to possibly say that you’ll walk in champion and walk out the same. Nah, not going to happen. Let me tell you what will happen: you’ll walk in champion all right, but it will be me that will be walking out champion. Time will tell who will be proven right.
JC: That was the IIW Hardcore 24/7 champion, I’m Jimmy Chaos and this was The Chaos Connection.
AP: Tick Tok!

The scene opens up in the beautiful spa area of a big, modern gym. The door to the steam room swings open, revealing Rogue walking out, sweat dripping down his body, being soaked up by his black board shorts. Cora is behind him, wearing a black bikini top and bottom. Sweat dripping down her body as well. Rogue holds the door open and Cora steps out from behind him. He lets the door slowly shut behind him. Rogue and Cora pick up towels off of a small rack next to the hot tub, directly ahead of the steam room. They start patting themselves down, and walk into the entrance of the hot tub. They get about waist deep in the water and lean back against the walls of the tub, looking relaxed.
Rogue - To the victor goes the spoils.
Rogue nods toward the bench by the spa door, revealing his gym bag and the IIW TV Title next to it.
Cora - And to keep the spoils, the victor must continue to work and be victorious.
Rogue - Otherwise theres spoils no more.
Cora scoots closer to the center of the hot tub and submerges herself for a second. Rogue follows and does the same. They both pop back up above the water, clearing the water dripping from their faces.
Rogue - Damn this feels good.
Cora - It feels so good.
They take a moment to relax and get comfortable again, leaning back intk the tub walls. Rogue turns to the camera.
Rogue - Ya know, Phoenix. I heard ya came into our match banged up. You took an ass whooping, but ya showed up. I didn't get you when you were at your best, but I still got you.
In this wrestling game, hardly ever do we show up when we are feeling our best. We always have some pain or injury from previous matches or training or whatever. Ive showed up for every one of my matches too, regardless of how I felt.
And Ive won all of them. Which is why I am the TV champion now. And now the IIW is giving you a chance to get your belt back.
I'm happy about that. I'm glad you get an opportunity to come back full force and try to take that belt back.
Although I was happy with how I beat you last time, I'll be even happier this time, knowing you were at your best. Knowing you had time to prepare all over again.
And for what its worth, it's in a steel cage. The IIW called me and asked me what kind of match I'd want at the supershow. I told them I'd want a tables, ladders, and chairs match. They gave us a cage match.
Ah, shit. We can't always get what we want.
Cora - Nope.
Rogue and Cora smile at each other.
Rogue - But at least we get another shot at representing that belt in an exciting way. At least it will done in a special match, at a special show.... and it will include the current undefeated TV champion and the former champion that won't give up.
Sounds exciting already. I don't like your personality one bit, Anthony Phoenix, but I can respect your determination and follow-through.
Cora - True....
Rogue - You might not be so bad afterall, Phoenix. Time will tell.
Back to training for us tomorrow. More training, more preparing. More enjoying this run.
See you in the cage.
The scene fades.

Jupiter, Florida
It's a cloudy, drizzling rainy day in Jupiter, Florida. A long stretched boardwalk is shown from a side-view as waves roll into the beams supporting it. People are fishing from the sides and tip of the boardwalk; a couple of them reeling in impressive sized fish.
We get a closer look at the entrance gate of the boardwalk. A small booth is connected to the gate door area which opens via motor and chain.
A well built man and a smaller female walk up to the purchase window of the booth. Both wearing rubber rain panchos for fishing, they set down a few fishing poles, a medium sized tackle box, and a small cooler packed with drinks and snacks.
The view changes, looking out of the booth. The camera reveals the faces of Rogue and Cora.
Booth Guy - Hey what can I do for ya?
Rogue - We're here to fish. We need some bait and whatever it costs for two people to enter the boardwalk.
Booth Guy - I gotcha pal. Hey that'll be seventeen bucks.
The booth guy sets a square shaped styrofoam container of nightcrawlers on the desk in front of him. Rogue slaps a twenty dollar bill on the counter.
Rogue - Thanks, friend.
The motor on the fence starts running, and the door starts to slowly open. Rogue and Cora pick up their fishing gear and cooler and start taking the long walk to the end of the boardwalk.
Rogue - Another week of doubt Phoenix? Or are you just focused strictly on training this time around? After the last meeting we had, I wouldn't blame you either way.
Cora - Nota at all.
Rogue - I just show up and do what I do. I get paid, and Cora and I enjoy our time away from the work. Are you getting fed up with the work entirely? Or have you just now begun to understand the work it takes to beat the competitors like myself?
Get out of your head Phoenix. Show up at When Worlds Collide, and bring your best effort. It won't be enough, but you'll go out on your shield at least.
But me? Cora? We're still here, enjoying the little things.
.... it's the little things Anthony....
Cora - It's the little things.
Rogue - Like fishing with your favorite person, in your favorite town. Packing your favorite sandwich with a diet coke and an iced coffee. Enjoying a rainy day after a hard day of training.
I'm going to keep this belt, Anthony.... because I haven't forgot the little things.
Because I'm Rogue.
I'm whatever I need to be....
Cora - In the moment. See ya in a couple days Phoenix.
Rogue smirks and playfully shoulder bumps Cora. They continue walking towards the tip of the boardwalk away from the camera as the scene fades.

May 14th, Friday Night - 11:30 PM. 2 days before When Worlds Collide.
The scene opens up in a small coffee shop inside of an airport near the IIW arena. Rogue and Cora are shown sitting on high stools at a round table. Both are dressed in their casual street wear with their luggage bags on the ground next to the chairs. The barista walks from behind the counter and sets two drinks on the table - a black iced coffee for Rogue, and a some frozen sugary shit for Cora.
Cora - Thank you.
Barista - Nooo problem. Let me know if you two need anything else.
The barista walks away.
Rogue - Thats something new for you. Usually you get something black like me.
Cora - Just in the mood to mix it up lately. We've been seeing tons of new places lately. I guess it inspires me to start trying new things.
Rogue nods and smiles.
Rogue - Good. Thats a good thing. Growth.
Cora - Growth.
Rogue - I've just always been that kind of guy that finds something he likes and sticks with it. I find a couple cafes I like, I go to them constantly. I find a video game I enjoy, I play it until the disc breaks. I see a movie I like, I watch it every time I feel like I'm in the mood to watch one.
I find a woman I like, I settle down and make her a part of my life.
Cora - Oh thats how youve always been huh? I thought I was your only serious relationship?
Rogue - You are. You know that.
Cora - Better be.
Rogue - Haha. You are.
Cora grips onto Rogue's hand.
Rogue - You know something? You being inspired to start mixing things up, has inspired me to do the same.
Cora - Oh?
Rogue - Oh? Yeah, oh. At When Worlds Collide. This cage match with Phoenix. I've never had a cage match before. This is already new to me. But aside from all my usual antics in the ring, people are gonna see some new shit from me.
Fuck it. Why not? Right?
Cora - Fuck it. Do it.
Rogue - You ready to go?
Cora - Yeah lets get out of here. I hate this airport. This country is such a dump.
Rogue - Agreed.
The scene fades.

Scene opens showing a pair of running shoes on the pavement, as those shoes are moving it suddenly pans up to show Anthony Phoenix running up and down walls and dodging obstacles. He is wearing workout gear that allows him the freedom to do all those tricks. As he does this Phoenix’s voice can be heard.
AP: Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. On that day, I, Anthony Phoenix, will once again reach and obtain that shiny ring and become the new IIW Television champion. Some people are saying that I’m crazy for asking for a rematch instead of going to the next level or challenging for the top. I may or may not be but one thing is for certain when it’s all said and done, it will be one for the history books or my history book to be honest.
Phoenix runs towards a wall and does a semi flip backwards. He lands with a thud and continues to run.
AP: My book you say…but how? You see I will be the first two-time champion of this or any division. My name is becoming synonymous with this division as well. Not only that, I will be the first double champion in this latest incarnation of the IIW all in the span of a couple of months. Add to that when I win, I will have taken my opponent’s undefeated streak which now stands at four. But when people speak of this for years to come, I will be the one in his four and one.
Phoenix chuckles as the scene changes to him jumping over short walls, left and right.
AP: People are also asking are you not scared? To be honest, I’m not. This cage match at World’s Collide is something out of my wheelhouse, I thrive on the gimmick match so to speak. It was I that suggested this be a Tables Ladders and Chairs match to really prove my gusto. Sadly, that request was not granted but I got the next best thing: a cage. A cage where I’ll have Rogue trapped and I get to exact my frustrations on him till I’m good and ready to pin him.
Phoenix does a forward tucked roll and then performs a kip-up before continuing to run.
AP: Rogue, come World’s Collide this Sunday; you will get the Anthony Phoenix that defeated the Commander, you will get the Phoenix that defeated Benz, the man that you should have received the night we first met. On Sunday you will get Phoenix 100 percent. On that night the world over will finally see just who Is the best. The champion who will stop at nothing to retain or the challenger who has no fear.
As Phoenix is running, he jumps and briefly runs sideways on the surface of a brick wall.
AP: Rogue, you are going to enter the champion: no doubt but rest assured when all the dust settles, I will be walking out the new IIW Television. That right there is not an assumption or a prediction…that right there is a damn spoiler; Prove me wrong. See you Sunday: champ!
Phoenix stops abruptly and stares at the camera breaking the fourth wall.
AP: Tick Tock!!
The scene fades out.
