On camera

We open to Maniac sitting in his bus back in Dallas, Texas for Fatality. He casually drinks from his glass of Jack and coke as he stares at the spear of destiny laying on the bar, not only could he not believe that he had it again but just how he got it. He had just left Wolfy's funeral and was heading back to his rental car when all of a sudden he hears a familiar voice calling his name, turning to see who it is Maniac almost falls over in shock when J.J. Addams comes running up to him. Maniac was even more shocked when he asked how J.J. got there and he responded by holding out the spear of destiny. He told Maniac the tale of the delivery driver damed Damien and when Maniac heard that name he almost fell over again, another name from the past who else is going to pop up? After setting J.J. up with an Uber back to the HWA training facility Maniac got on the private jet and fast forward so here we are, Maniac simply shakes his head as he takes another drink and is about to say something when he's interrupted by a news flash on the TV.

Mike Doocy: Sports anchor Mike Doocy here with KDFW FOX 4 News, today we are covering the explosions that rocked and destroyed the home of Hardcore Wrestling Alliance wrestler Maniac. I've been told that just underneath the destroyed mess that was the roof they found another member of the HWA roster Wolfy in the attic. On the scene in New York is our on site reporter Jeff Kolb, Jeff, what's going on out there?

The scene switches to a man standing where Romano estate once stood, behind him all you can see is debris and chunks of house being moved here and there as rescuers and other volunteers continue to check the scene.

Jeff Kolb: Thanks Mike, we'll as you can see the are still digging to see if there was anyone else inside. Right now I don't have much information but from what I’ve heard from neighbors is that nobody seen the explosion but rather heard and felt it. Now I'm being told through my earpiece that it was Maniac himself that blew up his own house and some say that this is some sort of work or uh...kayfabe is the term they use in the wrestling business.

The scene momentarily switches back to the studio.

Mike Doocy: Well Jeff if it is then they did one heck of a job, looks awfully real to me.

The scene switches back to the on site reporter

Jeff Kolb: That’s what everyone here says too Mike and I agree, this house is destroyed and HWA wrestler Wolfy was declared dead by local authorities. Now whether criminal charges will be filed against Maniac is yet to be seen but I don't know if that'll happen.

The scene goes split screen so you can see both men.

Mike Doocy: You're referring to the funeral where its seen Wolfy's family is there mourning with Maniac, Wolfy's brother was even seen consoling him.

As the two reporters talk still images flash on the screen showing shots of Maniac mourning with Wolfy's family then of Wolfy's brother James consoling Maniac. Upon seeing these still images Maniac's eyes go wide in shock as he jumps up and rushes over to the TV visibly upset.

Maniac: What the ####? H...how did they get those?

As if they heard him and decided to answer, the reporters provide the answer.

Jeff Kolb: Yes, which someone did illegally live stream and the police are looking into who that person is at the request of Wolfy's family...

Maniac doesn't hear the rest, it's just a dull noise in the background as he just stands there and stares into nothingness. A few moments go by before Maniac is snapped back to reality by the ringing of his phone, he pulls it from his pocket and looks at it not recognizing the number. His breath catches as he remembered the last time he didn’t recognize the number, when he answered it and the the events answering that call triggered. He almost doesn't answer it but does at the last minute, his voice a mix of anger and shock.

Maniac: Hello? Who is this?

Maniac listens and as he does his face relaxes.

Maniac: Oh, HWA legal? Sorry, I thought you were someone else. This isn't a good time right now...

Maniac glances over at the camera as he listens to what's being said to him.

Maniac: What?!?!? No, this isn't some sort of work between Wolfy and I. And secondly, no I don't know who streamed it because if I did...

Maniac is cut off mid sentence.

Maniac: Oh right, anyway this isn't a joke or anything like that. Wolfy is dead, he bravely sacrificed himself to save us all. Yes, the explosives were planted at Antonio’s request when the mansion was built as a fail-safe just incase we ever had the demon trapped. And it would have ended there if Wolfy's body was left where it was but that's not the case is it?

Maniac chuckles and shakes his head.

Maniac: Yes, I'm aware a simple explosion wouldn't stop a demon thats why other precautions were taken to make it couldn't escape. But when people come in and disturb the grounds those other precautions go out the window.

Maniac nods his head and listens.

Maniac: Like I said, this isn't a work and no I don't know anyone who'd...

Maniac stops mid sentence and looks at the camera.

Maniac: Let me call you back.

Maniac hangs up the phone and slides it into his pocket.

Maniac: Really Jeremy? Is this part of your plan, to rub in my loss like that demon did to you about Matt? That's right, I said his name...Matt, Matt, Matty O' Matt Matt. I'm sorry that my apologies aren't good enough for you or anyone else but that doesn't change freedom of speech does it Karen?

Maniac walks over to the bar and makes himself another drink then sits down on one of the barstools, facing the camera.

Maniac: And you call me self righteous, look at you over there using Matt as an excuse for YOUR personal revenge plot. Riddle me this point dexter, IF Matt was as angry you are don't you think he'd made a move already? Let's be real here Jeremy, just because he can't wrestle anymore...which once again I'm sorry. But that DOESN’T mean he can't fight, and I know him well enough to know if he wanted to fight he'd bring it...just like he did in Chicago.

Maniac takes a drink and continues.

Maniac: When was the last time you talked to him Jeremy? Does he even know what you're doing? Does he know the lengths you're going to for revenge you don't even know of he wants? Stop this Jeremy, it's not to late. You're reading into things that aren't there and your reaching for conclusions  because you don't know all the facts. Call Matt Jeremy, talk to him and see how he feels and then see where you stand on your revenge plot.

Before he can say more another newsflash pops up on the TV.

Fox News
On Sean Hannity

(Sean Hannity): Upcoming news this morning, HWA Pro Wrestler and Zoologist Christopher Hoff or other name he's known for Wolfy passed away recently and this morning they found sadly his grave was robbed taking not only everything on him but also his body. I met Wolfy back at The Hoff Wildlife Center once and him and his workers were just amazing people, they don't deserve this. If you have any information please come forward to authorities immediately.

Maniac freezes in shock at what he just heard, his breathing gets really heavy and he has to hold on to he bar so he doesn't fall off the barstool. As he sits there holding on the words professor Hoff  said to him at Wolfy's funeral echoed through is head...

"Wahahahaha! Did you think DreamMaster didn’t know Wolfy wasn’t you or Erica? He’s a stubborn ass, a coward! He’s going to fight DreamMaster the entire way! Hahaha! Isn’t it obvious?! You created a sock puppet empty and hollow but with the same blood with all the powers I gave him! Isn’t is genius?! I have to write this down! HAHAHAHA!"

Maniac gasps in full realization, DreamMaster has risen from the grave in Wolfy's body, all his strengths and abilities at the demons disposal. Maniac jumps up from the barstool, grabbing the spear of destiny.

Maniac: Holy shit he's alive! DreamMaster is alive! He's literally risen from the damn grave!

Maniac looks down at the spear I'm his hands.

Maniac: We've had one funeral, why not two?

Maniac grabs his drink and finishes it before setting it down and walking off, as he does so he calls for Meredith to follow which she does as the scene fades to black.
