___________________________________________________________
Infinity. ___________________________________________________________ “Doesn’t it make you feel so small?”
Alyssa Daniels wore a hooded sweatshirt and jeans in the cool Colorado night. Her magenta hair stood out even in the darkness. Her gaze swept across the vast, clear sky as the stars twinkled high above. She spun slowly, taking in the beauty of the clear night away from the lights of a big city. Her face glowed with wonder and amazement as she took in the sight. She looked away from the vast sky and faced the camera.
“It’s easy to get so caught up in our daily routines that we miss out on true beauty and we don’t even realize it until we find it, or it finds us. It’s like a pure and simple truth that you understand within but never actually think about. It’s common in our profession to see men and women who idolize themselves and believe that they are owed something, deserve something. They put themselves at the center of their universe, believing or at least pretending that they are above and beyond everything else. I’m a couple of victories into my career and it’s theoretically possible I could end up like that, so self absorbed. But then I stand under the stars and look out into the vastness of space and I just know I could never let myself become that.”
Alyssa smiled as she looked up at the sky again. This time, she was more composed in her viewing. She reached up a hand, almost as if reaching out to touch a star.
“That’s what Infinity is truly about.”
She closed her hand around a star and pulled it down. When she opened her hand, it was empty. She smiled a knowing smile and nodded.
“It’s about knowing that not everything is about you. It’s about understanding that an action can have far-reaching consequences that you’ll never witness or experience while other events may have unintentional consequences for you. It’s about demonstrating excellence both as a competitor and a person while handling the adversity of consequences dealt to you by others. That young girl in the front row waving an Uprising towel as she cheers on her favorite tag team, she is affected by the actions of those she watches. That young boy a few rows back wearing his colorful Swag King Supreme T-shirt, he’s affected by what he sees, from his hero and from everyone else. When they see a hard fought competitive match, like our match with Uprising was last week, they can learn important lessons like what it means to not give up, what it means to work hard, to keep getting back up even when you’re exhausted. They see that just because you get hit or rattled, that doesn’t mean that you’ll always just get hit. You can hit back, you can work, and you can win even when others doubt you or don’t think you deserve it. When they see something like SHIDO and Tiami…”
Alyssa shudders briefly at the thought but keeps her composure.
“They learn that the best way to send a message is brutality.”
Her eyes narrow as she shakes her head defiantly.
“That doesn’t belong in this business. That's important. Our opponents this week know that, regardless of how quirky they are. Don’t get me wrong, they have fun - like the video games, the cologne, and who could forget the popcorn - but they aren’t malicious or devious. They’re entertaining! I’ll admit it, I love looking back at the show footage the next day to see what the Swag Baskets were up to. But the important thing is that, in addition to their creative antics, they’re fierce competitors between those ropes. After all, K-Remix is the Hybrid Champion and that doesn’t happen by accident. Helena Handbasket was moments away from the Iron Championship. These two could’ve very easily been looking to add their third and fourth championship belts to their team. Just because I enjoy their games doesn’t mean I don’t take them seriously however. I take every opponent seriously. I prepare for their best. With these two, sure, I expect some kind of shenanigans. I won’t take them personal. I get it. It’s a part of who you both are and it’s fun. But when the action begins and it’s time to work, we will definitely put you to work.”
Alyssa laughs for a moment before her face turns serious.
“There aren't many who work harder than we do preparing for fights. We push ourselves to the limit, then push ourselves through our limits. Every day, we get further, stronger, faster, quicker, better. That’s where in-ring success starts.”
She looks up to the sky.
“Do you ever look up at the stars, K? Helena? Beyond just the beauty, do you ever think about what, or who, could be beyond this world? The possibilities, right? But that’s how it works for us in that ring as well. You can’t prepare for everything. You have to expect the unexpected, predict the unpredictable. It’s important to be ready for the possibilities because the possibilities, they’re endless, infinite. Like the vast and far reaches of space, combat strategy includes an array of possibilities. The Infinity Revolution isn’t about being able to predict every step, it’s about being able to adapt, adjust, and keep pushing even when things don’t go your way. We won’t quit. We will fight you to the very end. We will outwork you leading up to the match. We prepare for every match like it’s a championship match. It is an honor to face you, Swag Baskets. Are you ready for the possibilities?”
Alyssa reaches her hands into the air, reaching for the stars with eager anticipation.
“Welcome to Infinity.”
The scene fades.

The Swag Baskets did exactly what we said we were going to do. We bagged and tagged a couple of rhinos. All is well in the Swag Kingdom. Swagdom? Regardless, I would also like to say.... BOOYA! That’s a special booya for Ashe Corvin. While you were at home I was on Frontline taking down the guys who took you out. Maybe I should challenge your son too. It seems like beating people associated with you is kinda my thing. Picture it, everybody you know could get together every Friday night. Have a few drinks and reminisce about how you lost to K-Remix. Fun times will be had by all!
Me beating up pale bald guys and the people who love them aside. Frontline also featured the Badd Breed’s recruitment efforts kicking into high gear. However, there are a lot of offers on the table. The truth is that where I am right now. I could go wherever I wanted to go. When you grind like I grind people start to take notice. When it comes to the Badd Breed. Getting me to join is like a football team signing the league MVP in free agency. The question is, do I even want to go there? I’ll answer that on Frontline.
That however is the furthest thing from my mind right now. This week Helena and I find ourselves going up against the Infinity Revolution. Kevin Moss is an amazing talent. There’s no denying that. I saw what he could do in Skyfire long before he made the jump to Elysium. Not much has changed since then. Well, except for the fact that now Alyssa Daniels has bought into his way of doing things. You can’t really fault her for it either because he’s had success. I’d expect her to have the same results. It’s not like she’s some scrub he took under his wing. She could go before she joined forces with him. She’s only getting better. Nothing about this match is going to be easy. But I enjoy a good challenge and so does Helena. So SSPPOOONNNNN! MAXIMUM EFFORT! LEROOOOY JEEEEENKIIIINS! And all that jazz.
Now when it comes to Kevin Moss. Despite the talent that he has. Despite how he trains. Despite how he studies every opponent. He’s tasted defeat before just like everybody else. So he may have all of the best trainers money can buy. Like a fucking American Ivan Drago. But at the end of the day sometimes all of the training in the world can’t save you when the shit hits the fan. The Swag Baskets are the shit and we’re about to fuck some fans up. That could probably sound really bad out of context.
I suppose this is where you’re expecting me to go in on the Infinity Revolution. The old push their buttons and make them mad strategy. Sorry folks but that isn’t the name of the game this week. That strategy would be a colossal failure against Moss and Daniels. Mostly due to the fact that they have the emotional range of Kristen Stewart. Have you seen their promos? They’re both flatter than Diego singing karaoke. Honest question guys. Have you ever gotten to end of one of their promos without wanting those minutes of your life back? Yeah, me either.
It’s funny actually. Being the nerd that I am. I noticed something about the Infinity Revolution. The Terminator comics had a series called Infinity. Which alone is meaningless. However would you like to guess what the sequel is to that series? Revolution. Listen team Skynet, YOU AIN’T SLICK! Let me guess. You two T-Infinity robots have been sent back from the year 2033. You’re here in order to try and stop the Swag Baskets from winning the Elysium Tag Titles. Thus severely altering the timeline and changing the future.
Laugh all you want but at least that explains why they both remind me of the wrestling equivalent of Steve Buscemi in 30 Rock. Hello fellow wrestlers, cardio. Good lord. You two are so damn bland. So damn formulaic. And so damn cringeworthy that I want to head-butt a desk. You are the only two people I’ve ever seen make Anthony Xavier seem less robotic.
However the real question is how are the Swag Baskets going to beat the Infinity Revolution. Well to answer in true nerd fashion. We have a Handbasket! Come on, do you really believe I don’t have something special in store for the Infinity Revolution? That kind of talent requires a well thought out game plan to triumph over. Our game plan is quite simply Helena Handbasket. Alyssa Daniels had a nice speech about infinite possibilities. And rainbows shooting out of unicorn’s asses. Totally kidding about that last part. That would have made it watchable. The thing is that no matter how much you try to prepare for everything. Sometimes that isn’t enough.
Is anybody in the NFL more prepared than the New England Patriots? Is there anybody who can adapt, adjust, and keep pushing like they do? There’s a reason that they’re a dynasty. In 2008 an 0-2 Dolphins team coming off a 1-15 season came into Gillette Stadium to face that dynasty. To face a Patriots team that was riding a 21 game win streak in the regular season. What happened? The wildcat offense happened.
So when I say that our game plan is Helena Handbasket. That’s exactly what I mean. I need Helena to crank here Helenaness up to 11. Then I need to match that. We have to overload these infinity bots with an onslaught the likes of which their programming has never seen before. Something that is equal parts devastating and unpredictable. We have to be the virus stuck in the matrix that crashes the Infinity Revolution. And we will be.

HOTI FORM: ∞3971\PDYFF 666-327\?///WOE # ∞8911763987 The video opens with Helena Handbasket standing in front of a large white board with a long and complex equation on the board written in orange marker. She steps around and in frame, today wearing her signature yellow goggles and a white lab coat over a mis-mash of office wear, a tie casually looped around her neck, face obscured by puffs of blue vapor. “You realize infinity is a completely irrational concept right? Nothing’s actually infinite, just bigger than we yet have the numbers to quantify. Saying something is infinite is mathematically akin to saying it doesn’t exist. You also can’t revolution an infinity, if something is too big to quantify no amount of centrifugal force is going to move it. Unless you’re using revolution in the historical context, not the mathematical context, in which case you can’t refresh or revolutionize something that never stops and is completely and entirely on-going.”
Helena stops and rubs her temples, pulling her goggles down over her eyes with a grumble. “Look, I was going to come out here and do a mathematical equation to calculate how much bullshit you people are full of, but it was seriously starting to get as long as the entire time I’m allotted for this film. So I’m going to put that up on my youtube channel later. I’ll put a link down in the description.”
Helena reaches behind her and circles a long long number at the bottom of the board with her e-cigarette a couple of times. “I understand why you guy’s chose to use infinity actually, the numbers were getting a bit big and at that point it’s just easier...To answer your question Alyssa, yes I have just looked up at the stars and wondered about the possibilities. Then I went and did something about it, I’d show you my diploma but it’s hung in my office, I actually have a masters in aerospace engineering. I meant it when I said, I don’t actually have to wrestle. I wrestle because I enjoy it and I’ve found that joy brings so much better things than possibility. After all, not all possibilities are good, in fact the overwhelmingly vast majority of them are negative. Take for instance the very real possibility that you lose the Tag Team Championships. Good for me, bad for you, but i’m going to sit here and argue semantics with robots.”
Helena stops and takes a couple of drags from the cig-a-like in her hand and bounces from foot to foot. “K-Remix said that I’m the plan...Yay...I’m a plan. Although my amperage goes up to far more than elven my friend. I trust Remix to keep up, I know he can. Last week we beat Enigma Machine because we really only had to beat one guy, not two. That’s what you get when you overspecialize. Spacial Calamity are much more diversified, but diversified doesn’t mean versatile. They are both primarily strikers after all. K-Remix and I are versatile, able to easily adapt and change our styles to suit and compliment each other. Alyssa goes on and on in monotone drone about possibilities. Completely ignoring the fact that people calculate probability every day for a living. I’m more than able to hedge bets, and I’m really, really good at math.”
Helena bounces up here, foot on the wall, propelling herself up and gripping the edge of a garage door support. She settles in comfortably, hanging from the ceiling. “How do you beat robots? Well, the easiest way to overload the circuit boards. I’m not saying their not advanced robots, this won’t be easy. It can be done and my high energy can do it. You can also pick them apart structurally, another thing I can do. I’m leading on this one and I’ve spent time teaching Remix everything I can about special awareness, body structure, anything I can about the science of movement. These two are fast and they hit hard. It’s not just a matter of being faster, hitting harder. It’s a matter of knowing what to watch, which parts of the body indicate muscle movement. I use to be an acrobat too, when I was younger, before college. The key is beating the New Divide is not being there when they move. It’s in doing everything they don’t expect, head games are something I’ve always had a trick for. Sure their promos and bland as balls and boring AF, it doesn’t mean I expect they in rings action to be that way. I’ve always been called smart, nobody has ever looked at me and said I was sane.”
Helena hops down, trailing blue vapor and finally blows a smoke ring, then shoots a line of vapor through it. She winks and stretches. “Bulleye! I’m good at deconstructing, picking things apart. Remix and I are exactly like a virus in the system, we cause calamity and systemic failure. Unity Engine thinks they’ve got all that togetherness jazz works out, but Remix and I can pull them apart and just start chucking monkey wrenches into their plans. Which is what we’re going to do, we’re going to save the future, we’re going to beat BlandBot Express and win the Tag Team titles this Sunday. Reach for your stars and your infinite possibilities, remember to forget that you don’t actually adapt that well. ”
Helena gives a two fingered salute and actually does the robot off frame of the camera.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Stop, Take a Deep Breath, and Look Up”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Alyssa Daniels leads Kevin Moss through a forest of trees on a dark evening. All that is heard is the wind blowing and branches beneath their feet. Kevin follows her, trusting that she will guide him in the right direction. They emerge from the trees and step out into a clearing. Alyssa smiles and points up at the sky. Kevin takes in the vast vision of the stars as they stare out into the infinite.]It’s not just a moment or temporary fixture. When I talk about infinity, I honestly mean forever. I don’t take it lightly. It’s the most important thing in the world to me. There is no quitting. There is no giving up. This battle that I’ve been waging will probably never be resolved, but that’s the point. I have no delusions of an end game that involves me completely erasing all of the darkness in the world. That’s what this has all been about. It’s not just lip service when I talk about absorbing the light from the fans and using it to elevate me in battle. The fight for infinity doesn’t have a conclusive ending, but it does require warriors on both sides. There is no yin without the yang. If the balance ever gets thrown off, everything will be thrown off. The best I can do is wake up every morning and continue to fight. Forever.
[Kevin’s eyes scan over the black canvass of a night sky. He glances over at his partner, who is still looking up in awe. He smiles, realizing that Alyssa is trying to calm his mind before they enter battle.]Alyssa Daniels and I made our debut together at the last event and the end result was exactly what I envisioned. We were synced. Together, we have this flow that is going to be difficult for anyone to stop. Uprising brought their best, but in the end that wasn’t enough. Like I said before that match, it’s going to take something very special to stop this revolution. Being tough or clever isn’t going to get you very far when put inside the ring with us.That leads me to our next challenge, the big one. I thought the road was going to be much longer, but I imagined it would come down to this scenario eventually. The Infinity Revolution against Swag Baskets. They have charm, they have talent, but it’s obvious to everyone that they aren’t exactly on the same page. Remix said it himself, Helena is unpredictable. She has tremendous upside, but you can’t rely on a wild card in a situation like this.From the look of things, K-Remix doesn’t even know where he stands at this point. He left his partner, standing clueless, while working on some arrangement with Erik Holland. I don’t see a unified team. I see two people working together out of convenience in order to capture gold. Alyssa and I are fighting the battle of our lives and currently, we’re winning.They can talk all they want about our personalities or how boring they perceive us to be, but once again, that doesn’t win matches. Fact is, our t-shirt sales are soaring through the roof and the fans have found something they can get behind. Remix is the personification of an internet troll. His jokes are either hit or miss, but when you get down to the core of it, he’s operating at a level of seven when he’s fully capable of being a ten. Put down the games and start taking this one seriously or you’ll be on the wrong end of a right hand.I am glad that K-Remix has followed my career and success. For all the garbage he wants to spew, it sounds like he’s actually a fan of my work. In his mind, he probably believes he has my style figured out and will be able to counter it. Just ask anyone who has been in the ring with me and you’ll find out that my biggest strength is diversity. You can’t game plan against someone who is constantly changing and evolving. I take calculated risks and more often than not, they pay off.I’ll be the first one to admit, I have no ill will towards our opponents. Unfortunately, this is competition and that’s something I take very seriously. Alyssa and I don’t just put in the work to boast about it. We do it because we know that our hardwork will pay off in the end. We aren’t relying on luck or a miracle to obtain victory, we are assuring it.Nobody has to understand or even like it, but here we are. “The Infinity Warrior” and “The Heart of Infinity” will continue to be a beacon of light for anyone who is looking for truth. We might not be flashy or cutting edge, but we are true to ourselves. The entire world would benefit if they take a moment to stop, take a deep breath, and look up. You’ll be amazed by the truth you find in the stars.[Kevin exhales and closes his eyes. He takes in the fresh air and fills his lungs with clean oxygen. Alyssa grabs his hand once again and tries to walk back, but Kevin remains still. He holds up a finger to signal that he wants to enjoy another moment.]We’ve now reached a new tier of synchronicity. Whatever happens in this ladder match won’t shake us as a team. Alyssa and I are operating on a different level. Not only has our training reached new heights, but we are also occupying space in each other’s mind. This is not a temporary arrangement. It’s not something we threw together to make a play for gold. Alyssa and I are tied together. Some might question how long that will last…
[Now opening his eyes, Kevin allows Alyssa to lead him through back through the trees.]
It’s for infinity.
