Ecstasy of Gold plays over the Cheesedome PA speakers as Louie Bastardo hits the ring with mic in hand;directly behind him,we can see the Louie's Lounge set with a Mexican flag hanging in one corner, an Alice in Chains poster in another, and an Outcasts T-shirt draped over the bar. Beaming,he starts to address the crowd.


LB:Ladies and gentlemen,welcome to a very special post-Randy Rumble edition of "Louie's Lounge"! Tonight,I'm honored to have as my guests two men who for a long time were valued parts of the Bastardo Family and,last Sunday,became the new RDCW world tag team champions!Give it up for Chris Oakley and the Giant Luchadore El Superbeasto,a.k.a. the Outcasts!

Chris and Superbeasto,each carrying one of the RDCW world tag team belts,walk down the aisle to a decidedly mixed reception from the fans;Louie greets his former proteges with a fond embrace,then invites them to sit in the chairs next to his.


LB:Thanks for stopping by,fellas.(glances briefly at a 3X5 card in his hand)Now,champs,before we start with the Q and A,I understand Chris has an announcement to make.(hands Chris the mic)


Chris turns to Louie.


CHRIS:That I do, Louie. (holds up a clipboard) I've got here in my hand an open contract for any tag team in RDCW,RDLL,or Rob's Damn Puroresu to face me and the Giant Luchadore for the RDCW world tag team titles on next week's Havoc!

LB:Well, that's really something, Chris. Tell me now, how does it feel for you and El Superbeasto, winning the belts in only your second match together as a team? Many teams take a long time to get to the top, yet you two jumped right in and scooped up the titles, in a handicap match against three guys, no less. What are your thoughts and feelings about that?

CHRIS:Greatest night of my life, Louie! And I'm sure the Giant Luchadore feels the same way, right, compadre?(hi-fives Superbeasto)

ES:Si, amigo! Is always being a pleasure to squash maricones like the Tuesday Night Rockers. But all three of them at once? And to win the tag titles, also? Is being like late Christmas!

LB:Well, I think you guys should know that there are rumors of a team out there already gunning for you both. Apparently, they call themselves Team OC and have established quite a violent reputation overseas. Are you worried about the possible challenge of Team OC?

Chris snorts in disdain at the question.

CHRIS:Worried? Screw that! They want to try and take these belts, I say bring 'em on!

ES:The Outcasts rule the tag team division in the RDCW now! No one can stop us! We are going to hold belts a long time, ese!

LB:Well, I see you're very confident right now. What are your plans for the future? You're still involved in the T.I.T.s. How do you feel about the T.I.T.s, boys?

ES: We are enjoying the T.I.T.s very much!

CHRIS:Yes indeed. We've already got one championship to our credit, and we can't wait to add anoth--

At this moment, the arena is filled with the sounds of Powerman 5000, as three very familiar figures emerge on the rampway. Wearing black t-shirts emblazoned with the Team OC logo, and camo pants, they are Brother Joe OC, Faarooq OC, and Christine OC: Team OC! The Outcasts and Louie Bastardo are stunned!

Joe OC:Well, well, well. Look who's back! I guess you thought you'd gotten rid of us, didn't you? What with all your legal actions to prevent us from using your name and all.

Faarooq OC:We've sat back and watched you, Chris. Hoping you would self-destruct on your own. But when you won those tag belts, we couldn't resist the opportunity to beat you down and take them for ourselves!

Joe OC:So we've accepted your open challenge for next week! And we want. . .a tables match!

Christine OC:Got wood, Chris? I do!

A collective "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeew" can be heard from the fans in the Cheesedome. Not noticing or caring about this,Chris picks up the mic and gives Team OC his best 'be careful what you wish for' stare.

CHRIS:A tables match, huh? Suits me perfectly...because nothing would make me and the Giant Luchadore happier than to destroy the three of you in one fell swoop.I'm tired of you guys trying to mooch off my good name,and next week on Havoc the Outcasts are putting a stop to it permanently!

ES(raising his fist):Viva Los Outcasts!

The Outcasts and Team OC glare at each other as the camera fades to a promo for No Way Out of the Closet.


I make stars, baby!
