ACT I, SCENE II
(The curtain rises as the orchestra continues to play the last vestiges of “Stick With Me!”, then the music turns into a grumpy, almost comical version of “Son Of A Bush” by Public Enemy. The set has changed only slightly. The ring is now adorned with a banner that reads “Gastown Pro Wrestling” MICHAEL JOHNSTON stands in the ring, arms crossed, in a black pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, with a cowboy hat and a black trench coat. As the music fades, CAM and TIFFANY, as Kyle and Coach Jago, both walk in from stage left.)
(Cam and Tiffany both start, and turn to notice Mike for the first time.)
(The music hits, and Mike storms around angrily as “All About The Darkness” begins.)
(A short instrumental with dance ensues.)[/i]
(As the audience applauds wildly, Mike chases Tiffany and Cam around the ring, while Tiffany blows her whistle shrilly. The lighting changes visibly, indicating a change to…)[/i]
ACT I, SCENE III
(The music for “All About The Darkness” ends abruptly, as two men walk on stage, laughing, carrying replicas of the Gastown Tag Team belts. They are masked wrestlers, wearing bright red sweats, and t-shirts that read “Gastown Tag Champions of The World!”)
(Cam and Mike look at Tiffany in a panic, making gestures for her to shut up.)
(Beat.)
(The Champs both climb into the ring, while Mike and Cam angrily confront Tiffany.)
(As Cam and Mike climb into the ring, an instrumental redux of “Stick With Me!” plays. An elaborate wrestling match/dance number ensues. The Gastown Champs are good… but even having only just met, Cam and Mike are amazing! “Stick With Me!” slowly transforms into the instrumental “Low” by the Foo Fighters we heard in the overture. As the music hits a crescendo, it looks as though Cam might be pinned… only to have Tiffany run in a smack Champ 1 in the face with her clipboard! Cam and Mike hit the Down and Dirty on Champ 1 for the pin, which Tiffany counts. Mike retrieves the titles and hands one to Cam. Tiffany then raises their hands in victory.)
(Musical cue! “New and Improved!”)
(Lights down! Curtain down! The audience wildly applauds as the music for “New and Improved!” continues over the scene change! Act One is OVER! Stay tuned for Act 2!)[/i]

CAM
Are you sure this dump is the only place we could get work?
TIFFANY
Seems word’s got around that you walked on MJPW.
CAM
WHAT!? Those (BLEEP)s are trying to ruin my reputation! It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!
TIFFANY
You’re preaching to the choir, son! You are better then this place! But think of it this way. You’re so good, you’ll OWN this promotion in, what? Two months. Tops.
MIKE
What was that?

CAM
Jesus!
MIKE
This here is MY promotion. I didn’t go to the University of Alberta so that some Saskatchewan upstart could show up and take it over!
CAM
(To Tiffany)
You didn’t tell me that the Undertaker was in this promotion!
TIFFANY
(To Cam)
I didn’t know!
MIKE
I’M NOT THE UNDERTAKER! Why doesn’t anyone get me!?
Jesus!

MIKE
Don’t call me the Undertaker!
I’m not his brother Kane!
It makes me look like a faker,
And it’s driving me INSANE!
I’m just full of angst.
I have so much disgust.
What do you have against?
Respect me! You must!
I’m all about the darkness!
Thaaaat’s myyyy shtick!
I’m all about the darkness!
And it makes me a dick!
I’m all about the darkness!
So gloomy and so mean!
So stick those comments up your pipe,
And maybe I’ll forgive that snipe,
Or I’ll punch you in the spleen!

MIKE
Don’t call me the Monster, Abyss!
Or that psycho Cactus Jack!
That doesn’t give me bliss,
And I have a brain attack!
I’m just really sullen.
I overflow with pain!
In the ring, I’m culling,
I’ll hit you like a train!
I’m all about the darkness!
It’s not just some gimmick!
I’m all about the darkness!
Your stupidity makes me sick!
I’m all about the darkness!
I grew up in a town so grand!
I was privileged and was spoiled true,
So I’ve got so MUCH to be angry to!
It was either wrestle… or join an EMO BAAAAAAAND!
DARKNESS!

CHAMP 1
Well, well, well! Look here! It looks like little Brucey's made himself a new friend!
MIKE
The Beast has no friends!
CAM
Yeah, we just met this guy!
CHAMP 2
Awww… but you two are so CUTE together! You could almost be a tag team!
TIFFANY
Almost! Why, these two boys would be the best tag team in the whole of Canada! The world even!

TIFFANY
The BEST! They’d be as big as any tag team, ever! Why, as big as the Rockers! Or the Mean Street Posse! Or D-X! Only new! And improved!
CHAMP 1
Well, that sounds like a challenge to me!
CHAMP 2
Yeah! You two think you’re so hot! Why not put your mouth where your money is!

MIKE
What are you doing! I hate you! I HATE EVERYTHING! I don’t want a tag team partner!
CAM
Yeah, we just met this guy Coach! How can we win this match!?
TIFFANY
Trust the Coach, boys! I know what I’m talking about. Bruce “The Beast”, this is Stylin’ Kyle. The two of you are about to become the Gastown Tag Team Champions! Just, stick with me!
