“The Elite
The, The ELITE
The Elite
The, THE ELITE”
Episode #02: “All that Glimmers is Gold…Dust?”
The episode starts with The Revival’s Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson standing in what appears to be someone’s home gym.
Dawson: Can you believe the Young Bucks last week Dash? Trying to pull a stunt like that on us!
Dash: First, we don’t get invited to the press conference even though we were the first team selected in the damn draft, then we don’t even get a match at Bash at the Beach? What the hell is even going on here?
Dawson: I don’t quite know to be honest, but I do have some good news for ya. I called up Eric Bischoff this morning, and let him know we weren’t too happy with what happened last week. He was very apologetic, but I told him if he really wanted to make it up to us, he needed to change that Bash at the Beach match to give then fans the match they really wanted.
Dash: Wait, you mean it’s finally going to happen Dawson?
Dawson: That’s right, at Bash at the Beach, The Revival will finally got one-on-one with….THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!
“Never look back no never say die, Always attack with the Warrior Cry”

Rollins: Last week, I let my brother Jon Moxley know that he has until Bash at the Beach to give me his answer, this week I have a new offer. Bash at the Beach is going to be one of, if not the most historic night in GWA history as WCW returns to professional wrestling for the first time in over 20 years, yet I am not on the card. The Salvation was seemingly overlooked when WCW’s booking team started putting this event together, but that changes now! I’ve looked over this roster countless times, and there is one man who stands out to me as someone who may need saving more than even Jon Moxley. A man who is separated from his family, yet still seems to find himself in a position of authority behind the scenes here in WCW. A man who has been in this business for decades, yet still has accomplished nothing. Dustin Rhodes, I’m officially challenging you to a match at Bash at the Beach! We’ve been watching you Dustin, and your refusal to walk away from a sport that left you behind so many years breaks my heart. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can always put that old dog down if necessary, and in this case, it is. Give me your answer next week Dustin, I’ll be waiting.

Matt Jackson: Nick, you see this?
Damn! I really wanted that match with Sabin and Shelley, I’ve been looking forward to taking those guys on for years!
Damn! I really wanted that match with Sabin and Shelley, I’ve been looking forward to taking those guys on for years!
Nick Jackson: Well, neither of us are going anywhere so I’m sure we’ll get that opportunity sooner or later, but that leaves us without a match at Bash at the Beach now doesn’t it?
Matt Jackson: Yes and no. I mean officially we don’t have a match on the card anymore Nick, but we did have that team that challenged us earlier, and I may have just received a text from Swerve saying they are still interested if we are.
Nick Jackson: JML? Those guys want a match with us at Bash? Hell yeah Matt, let’s get that done!
Matt Jackson: Let me just text him back then “You’re on” annnnd sent! Alright Nick, I guess its official now. The Young Bucks vs. JML at Bash at the Beach.

Macho Man: Ooooooh yeah, Dig It!

Cornette: Hey Aldis, do you have a minute?
Aldis: I’m a very busy man Jim, but for a mind as brilliant as yours, I suppose I can spare a moment.
Cornette: Excellent! Listen, I’ve been giving it a ton of thought lately and I think you’re the favourite to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Bash at the Beach. You’re most definitely the guy I’d be placing my money on in that match, except I think you might be missing something to give you that extra edge over the rest of the completion, something that almost guarantees you victory.
Aldis: I believe I’ve always been the complete package, but go ahead and humour me. What is it that I appear to be missing?
Cornette: A manager! Nick, you need someone out there who will watch your back and has your best interests at heart! You need somebody who isn’t afraid to play a little dirty when need be to keep you from losing control of a match! Nick Aldis, you need me! I, Jim Cornette, would be proud to be your manager!
Aldis: Jim, I’m flattered. I’m sure you don’t need to be reminded that you are one of the greatest managers of all time, and I of course am the greatest superstar alive today, which is why it is such a no brainer that my answer is no! Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you should already know that I am indeed the total package of skill, brains, athleticism and technical ability. To lessen any of my many talents in order to give someone like you a larger paycheque just to ride my coattails would be foolish and unwise. Thank you for you offer Jim, but maybe try some lesser talent if you’re looking for another managerial position!
Aldis walks off leaving Cornette standing in both shock and embarrassment.

Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone are shown driving together.
Schiavone: Hell of a last two weeks it’s been Jim. I can’t wait for Bash at the Beach!
JR: You can say that again Tony, I have a feeling WCW is going to do things right this time around and I’m glad to be on board again, especially getting to sit alongside you and Mike Tenay. It really reminds me of the old days
.
.
Schiavone: More like the ancient days JR! We were a lot younger and better looking back then.
JR: Can’t forget that mustache you had back then too Tony!
Just then, Schiavone’s phone starts ringing through his car’s Bluetooth.
Schiavone: Hello?
Dustin Rhodes: Tony? It’s Dustin. Is JR with you?
Schiavone: Yes he is.
JR: Hello Dustin.
Rhodes: Hey Jim. Are you headed to the office for that booking meeting we’re supposed to have today?
JR: On the way there, about 15 minutes away. Tony’s going to drop me off and then head back to the hotel.
Rhodes: Great! Listen guys, I’ve got some stuff going on here so I won’t make it out there in time for the start of the meeting, but if you could pass a message along to Arn and Eric for me. I saw Seth’s message and I’m not going to wait another week to give him his answer. If Seth Rollins wants to try to use me to make a name for himself in WCW, then he’s on. Let the rest of the team know that I’m accepting his challenge for Bash at the Beach!
“Never look back no never say die, always attack with the Warrior Cry”
Schiavone: Alright, I’ll make sure JR remembers to bring that up when he gets to the office. Listen Dustin, I’ve got to let you go, I think I missed my exit.
Dustin: That’s why JR should have been driving! Get him there safe Tony, the last thing we need is for you to show up late and get fired before we even started working!
Dustin hangs up the phone.
Schiavone: Jim, I’ve got a map in the glove compartment, if you wouldn’t mind grabbing it for me quickly.
JR opens up the glove box.
JR: I don’t see a map Tony, but what the hell is this for?
JR pulls out and hourglass from Tony’s glovebox as both men look at it in confusion before our episode of Being the Elite fades to a close.
Or so we thought! After the black screen, we quickly get another shot of the Young Bucks in their hotel room.
Matt Jackson: Another long week of promotional work in the books. Time to site back and relax before we head down to Florida tomorrow.
Nick Jackson: Flight leaves at 5am, so it's another early morning for us. Hey Matt, is this yours?
Nick holds up the hotel room remote. You can see a sign taped to it that says "Turn Me On"
Matt Jackson: Wan't me, lets see what is it.
Nick Turns on the television to see a familiar face staring back on him.
Scurll: Hello fellas, remember me? It's been a while hasn't it? Well boys I was in the area signing my official WCW contract, and I just figured It'd pop by and say hello to my favourite tag team, but when I got to the hotel I was told you two hadn't arrived yet. Anyways, I guess I'll just sit here and wait for you guys. Now if you boys are watching this, I'm sure you'e already walked right past me and not even noticed, so maybe turn around now because this is getting embarassing....
Matt and Nick look at each other in confusing before hearing the sound of a toilet flushing in their hotel bathroom. The camera pans over to the door as it opens to see Marty Scurll standing there as we fade out for real this time.
**THE END**
