Inside a wrestling arena in New York city; the crowd was packed with excited fans and a man at the commentary table while in the ring was a big massive wrestler in green hights and a green wrestling mask. "All these screaming wrestling fans and myself are all set here in the RKP Palace for our main event for the UCWF Heavyweight Championship as the challenger; 4 times Champion Crusher Hogan is in the ring and looks to be ready but will he actually be?" asked the wrestling commentator.
Push it to the Limit by Paul Engemann plays and out comes a large muscular wrestling with a largeforehead with a scar on it; wearing a dark blue 1920s styled mobster attire with brass knuckles and a golden championship belt around his waist. "Here he comes the new Heavyweight Champion; the man known only as Hammerhead! It seemed that getting surgery after managing to make it out of a bad car crash with his life would be the end of his career along with needing to get a metal plate in his broken skull but no... He took down Cap'n Stripes to win his 3rd reign of that title so dominantly; it goes to show that even a near death experience can stop this man in his tracks!" said the commentator as the crowd heavily booed Hammerhead making his way to the ring as he walked like a mobster and got a microphone as he entered the ring.
"I see all these suckers in the crowds hating me as I have all the money and the power that they don't have and it's what they will never have! They should know respect which is what they did back in my day and instead of respecting their betters; they count on their heroes to tear people like me down! LIke this masked 'Crusher'..." Hammerhead said through the microphone using a thick italian accent to the boos as he pointed to Crusher Hogan. "I am gonna make you an offer you can't refuse; walk away and you may leave with your dignity and all the bones in your body intact." Hammerhead told Hogan but he told him to bring it on as Hammerhead took off the wrestling championship belt and gave it to the refere who called for the bell to ring as Hammerhead took off his business suit to reveal a workshirt and vest.
During the match Hammerhead ended up catching Hogan in a flying move and then puts him into a tight bearhug and ends up headbutting him hard as he lets go. he poses to the booing crowd but Crusher Hogan lays unconscious on the ground and the referee's eyes widened as he checks on him and notices blood coming from his mask.
"The main event of the recent live episode of Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation Ignitro ended in shocking terms and but not as scripted. Between defending Champion Joe Martello better known as Hammerhead and challenger Joseph 'Crusher' Hogan ended with a headbutt from Hammerhead sending Crusher Gogan into a concussion induced coma that put an end to the event. Mr Hogan had been at the doctor's earlier in the afternoon who testified that he had a clean bill of health and it seemed that Mr Hogan's coma was caused by the metal plate in Mr Martello's from a recent surgery following a car crash may have been more dangerous than expected. UCWF chairman and CEO Edward Garner has given a statement that pending an investigation; Joe Martello has been suspended indefinitely without pay and has been stripped of the UCWF Heavyweight Championship..." said Chrstine Everhart reporting the story for WHIH News.
Hammerhead was furious as he was packing up his stuff from the locker room at the RKP Palace; he was met with a man with a moustache in a business suit. "Joe; I am sorry as I wish that I didn't have to do this but you swore to me and signed on paper about the plate in your head and Hogan's family are suing... Give it some time and let it blow over..." the man Edward Garner told Hammerhead who glared down at him.
"This is the facts that I get for spending so much of my life working for you Eddie? I gave so much life to this business that it destroyed my marriage and I went against doctor's reccomendations to come back to work as I loved this business so much! So what if I made do with the best available doctor to me to get the surgery done and fast! Plus this is wrestling; you know the risk when you enter the ring..." Hammerhead ranted in a more natural sounding voice now that he's not on camera but Garner shook his head.
"Joe; this isn't the first time that you had getting into trouble with how unnecessarily rough with your oponnents and this time this had gotten so serious that I can't overlook it anymore. Take the time off and stay out of trouble so we can make this blow over and also remember; this is sports entertainment..." Garner repled as Hammerhead looks furious.
"Stop calling it; it's wrestling and we are wrestlers! Why have you decided that you hate the word so much when wrestling is literally in the name of your company? I have grown sick of that like I have with that stupid pornstache you have now!" Hammerhead ranted pushing him aside as he left.
He got to the parking lot and looked to the running security guards and shouted "don't bother; tell Garner that he doesn't have to worry about me as I quit! Tired of kissing his stupid butt anyway..." Hammerhead then noticed in the parking lot was a bald headed man in a business suit which got him angry.
"Evening Mr Martello; it seemed that the Cogmium plate worked wonders..." said the man as Hammerhead picked him up by the collar off his suit. "Is this gratitude for saving your life?" asked the man sarcastically.
"What do I have to be grateful for as that stupid plate you put in my head ruined my career? Decades of work down the drain and I doubt that I will get work in this business again after this whole scandal! Thanks to you Harrow; I can look forward to living off alimony cheques for the rest of my life!" Hammerhead snapped at him as there was a woman coming up to them. "Who are you supposed to be?" Hammerhead asked as the woman then got him to drop Harrow.
"The wife of Mr Harrow's employer who is actually very interested in hiring you Mr Martello. Hammerhead doesn't have to be dead as a brand as you can continue where you left off and allowed to be more rough than what is allowed in your old employer's company; be it underground and with other jobs expected of you." the woman told Hammerhead who looked cautious.
"Underground fights huh? You know what; count me in... Do I have a name to call you by?" Hammerhead as the woman smirked as she offered a hand that she accepted.
"Vanessa Fisk." the woman answered.
MOVIE LOGOS ARE SHOWN
Another afternoon inside a studio in New York; there was a a beautiful short black haired woman in front of backdrops while talking to people interviewing her. "Casted to co-lead Be All My Sins Remembered; the dramatic retelling of the real life killings of the Sin Eater. We have here Hedy Wolfe who portrays NYPD Captain Jean DeWolff; the lead officer o the case who tragically lost her life to the Sin Eater. No relation off course but Ms DeWolff; fashion model and now transitioning to serious acting... You have come a long way since your role in the sitcom It's Patsy." asked the interviewer and Hedy smirked.
"Well yes... I was but a young teen and my banker father was an investor in the studio porducing the show and got me what was supposed to be a one episode role; playing a character with my own name like Patsy herself. Our chemistry stole the season and I ended up being being a main character; second only to Patsy herself. We had a kind of Betty and Veronica thing going on along with mutual respect off camera... Off course there was what happened later but let's not dwell in that." Hedy replied.
"Now playing the late Captain DeWolff; what brought you to this role?" asked the interviewer.
"I have wanted a serious role and this woman fighting to bring a killer to justice only to fall victim to the killer and it turned out to have been a coworker and close friend? It was a tragedy that I decided that I wanted to bring to life myself!" Hedy said with asmirk as the intrviewer looked at his notes.
"How about your ex-husband..." asked the interviewer as Hedy deliberately looked at her clock.
"Look at the time; sorry that we have to cut it short but I have a shoot that needs to be finished." Hedy told the interviewer apologetically calling for security to escort them out.
Hedy went to where there was Peter Parker writing down an assignment with a camera strapped around his neck when Hedy glared at him as she caught his wrist; "Sorry Ms Wolf... Just finishing off something for college..." Peter told her apologetically as she got him up.
"Well I am not paying you to do your schoolwork on company time Parker!" Hedy told him as she went to the backdrop and started posing with Peter taking pictures of her. Soon they were finished and Peter went to pack up his camera when he was faced with Felicia in a long red zipped up raincoat. They embraced eachother and let go.
"So how is work so far? Sorry that Ms Wolfe can be a bit much but Mama said that she has her good qualities. Plus this was the best that I could do as not a lot of science oriented businesses are willing to hire a college student with no history and nothing to his name but a GED." Felicia asked as Peter shrugge and sighed.
"A bit demanding but it does pay the bills and I am grateful... Wait... Are you wearing..." Peter asked noticing the claws on her gloved hands as she gave him a look.
"My suit is not as easy to get into and out of as you are; why do you think that I keep getting behind when we go on to change..." Felicia replied as Peter felt his Spider Sense go off and ducked to the ground with Felicia as then the room was then raided with a small gang of masked people wielding high tech weapons that Gargan had been supplying.
Everyone went down to the ground as the gang leader grabbed Hedy's arm while forcing her security put their arms up in the air. "We are going to get paid 50 million and given a helicopter or else you are a dead wolf..." warned the leader of the gang who glared at him.
"You must have really given some thought for that..." she snarked quietly about his threat.
Felicia had managed to crawl away and Peter was trying to do the same but the closest one; a large man decided to remove his mask complaining about how hot it is on him and Peter looked up and thought that the man looked familiar. The leader told him to put it on and called him King; "Carl King..." Peter muttered in shock thinking he was older as the man looked at Peter and picked him up the shirt with Peter gulped.
"I have only seen squirming like that in response to me back in my old school days; you must have been one of those turned to dust. I would be more than happy to catch up on old times and then show you what this thing does..." smirked Carl as he was disarmed by a whipe and then Felicia in full Black Cat suit jumped and clawed at her back.
Peter managed to get away in the confusion as they then began trying to fire at her destroying the studio. Felicia smirked as she started punchign and kicking at the gang members trying to ambush her but one kicked her to the floor form the back and then went and punched her as she got him by a kick to the area between his legs.
Only King was left and Peter came in as Spider-Man who webbed up Carl's face, "Stop hitting yourself..." Peter laughed as he then got Carl's fist and got him to punch his own face and then got a web onto the ceiling and then gave a gagging sound as he pulled up the back of Carl's boxers from his trousers and then hoisted him up to the web with a big wedgie. A kick to the face from Felicia knocked her back.
"Are you alright?" Peter asked checking on Felicia who sighed and they heard the police coming in and then made a break for it through the window. "I got my bag webbed here..." Peter said crawling to the side of the building and got his bag as Felicia went down running on the bottom to an alleyway.
Peter then jumped down and with Felicia' s back turned he got changed. "I got careless again... All these years of using the magic of that necklace and I keep forgetting that it's gone... Could have gotten killed from the weapons..." Felicia sighed as Peter went to face her.
"Come on Felicia... You are plenty trained and Black Widow didn't need powers and neither did Hawkeye... You are the perfect partner..." Peter assured her and she sighed nodding.
"So... The King guy... You know him?" Felicia asked as Peter sighed.
"The worst bully at my old elementary school who tormented everyone who couldn't fight back and that included nerdy non spider powered Peter Parker. After a few suspensions; he actually got a kid sent to the hospital and so went to Juvie. Never seen him since but I imagine that he didn't get blipped." Peter explained as she got her phone out. "I have to admit... I took no small amount of cartharsis from that..." Peter said as Felicia showed him.
"Seemed that he decided to get into fights at juvie to try and be top dog; sent to an adult prison and got out months ago when Venom instigated that riot. Still it means one less gang to worry about and we have most of the escapees sorted out and the weapons taken care of..." Felicia told him and Peter nodded.
"Should be heading back now..." Peter said as Felicia grabbed his face for one final kiss as she made her exit with Peter running to where the staff of the building was being tended to by paramedics and the gang being arrested by the police. "I am here Ms Wolfe..." Peter said finding Hedy who looked at him after glancing away from the crowd or reporters being kept away by police.
"That's good to hear but do watch yourself next time something like this happens. Do you have the photos Parker?" Hedy asked and Peter nodded as she looked away. "That's good and I do hope that you didn't waste any film on that fiasco that just ruined this afternoon. Because you know that I am not paying you to take pictures of Spider-Man." Hedy then told him.
Hammerhead is kind of a hard villian to modernise as an old fashioned gangster in a suit and the DLC for the Spider-Man PS4 game took the route of making him from an old fashioned era of organised crime part of his story; that he's trying to modernise himself and the Maggia to make them feared and relevant again. I decided to make him a wrestler whose gimmick is of an old fashioned gangster and while they are not promient in today; I grew up on some old WWF tapes where gimmicks like that were more the norm.
Hedy Wolfe was the Veronica type rival of the old Patsy Walker comics and her only mention in the MCU being on a magazine cover in Jessica Jones gave me a lot of leeway on how to use her. Carl King as I like to use at times in stories was an old bully of Peter who was worse than Flash ever was and I decided to make him older by him not been Blipped. Plus I love the TV Trope But For Me It Was Tuesday (god rest Raul Julia's soul) and though Peter's existence was wiped from memory; I bet King would buy that he wasn't able to remember one particular victim from his old school days.
