The scene opens on a close up of an old, yellowing CRT monitor. The cursor glides across the screen and opens a new window, their home screen is YouTube. The algorithm does what algorithms like to do and suggests a random video with only a few hundred views. A quick click of the mouse and the video loads up, we see the title "Most underrated wrestler nobody remembers." It was posted over 10 years ago by somebody going by the username "Tylerbigbootyluva42069."

The video begins with a low quality stretched out image of the most generic looking late 90's wrestler you could imagine. He stands six foot tall, long dark dreadlocks hang down over his face. He is shirtless with basic black elbowpads and wrist tape. To really complete the great value attitude era, attire the baggy, slightly glossy black leather pants. The narrator of the video begins to speak. It is a younger male, somewhere in the early to mid-teens. Either puberty was on its way or he was using a $10 ACER office microphone, his voice hollow with constant cracks and pops.

Tylerbigbootyluva42069: The year is 2002. The AWF is one of the top wrestling companies in a very crowded field. Legendary wrestlers like Luke Shelfstocker, Lajon Witherspoon, The Convict, Drunk N Stupid, dominate the screen. Names known across the world, peak athletes in the prime of their lives battling for the biggest prizes of them all. Meanwhile, silently in the background a wrestler so underrated yet somehow the most important person in wrestling history secretly worked his 7-D chess game. He created the archetype for what modern wrestling psychology is and most people don't even remember he existed.

The image changes to another low-quality PNG file of the same wrestler, this time he's standing backstage at the kraft food services table. A can of soda in one hand, a plate piled high with various meats in the other.

Tylerbigbootyluva42069: According to several completely unverified internet sources The Edgecrusher, real name Marc Summers, was born sometime in the year 1983. He was left on the steps of an orphanage where he lived till around the age of 7 when he was adopted. Tho, historians disagree on the exact date since nobody cared enough to write it down. A fitness celebrity well known in the 80's becomes his father. Sadly, what should have been the beginning of a story book life quickly turned to his own personal hell. The celebrity turned out to be a raging and abusive alcoholic whose entire purpose in life often seemed to be to make Marc miserable. The poor child was able to keep his sanity by watching pro wrestling any chance he could get. He dreamed of being tough like the stars on his screen. Be free from his father, free to be the Marc he was destined to be. A major break came to him around the age of 18, a life changing opportunity was provided to Marc. He was working a part time job cleaning floors at a local sports arena that held monthly wrestling shows. One of those shows a wrestler known for his high flying, hard partying lifestyle had no-showed an event. With only minutes till bell time and no other wrestlers available the AWF booker grabbed the first person he saw... the janitor. And so the Edgecrusher was born.

Yet another low-quality image of The Edgecrusher, this time he sits at a long table. White cloth draped over it, behind him a white curtain with his logo. Below the logo in bold black "Autographs! Today only! $50." the $50 is crossed out and below it "$25." The 25 is also crossed out and below that "Free." There is nobody in line, and the Edgecrusher looks to be struggling to stay awake.

Tylerbigbootyluva42069: The Edgecrusher, also commonly known as "EC" doesn't have an impressive win/loss ratio, despite being the companies longest reigning US champion he lost... a lot. On the surface it appeared he was a really horrible wrestler who just lucked out with a string of fluke wins. A flash in the pan he was not. That's exactly what EC wanted you to think! Every embarrassing loss was all part of his master plan! Then when the time was right he sprung his trap, tricking the US champion into tripping on his own shoelace and knocking himself out on an exposed turnbuckle. He kept up the act of being a moron and retained his title time after time.

Another picture of the Edgecrusher, he stands wearing the AWF US title in the hallway of some random arena. EC slowly fades out of the picture leaving only the empty hallway and a chunk of his elbow Tylerbigbootyluva42069 missed when he was cutting the image out in GIMP.

Tylerbigbootyluva42069: Then suddenly... he was gone. No announcements, no retirement party, no belt relinquishing, no obituary, just gone. He vanished from the face of the earth never to be seen again. The AWF was eventually exposed as a mafia operation, federal investigators seized the offices, and all AWF records vanished. Did the Edgecrusher just retire and all evidence get destroyed? Was the Edgecrusher somehow involved in the Mafia organization? If so, is he even still alive?

our scene fades to black as Tylerbigbootyluva42069's video abruptly ends.

Unfortunately, the truth of what happened to Marc over 20 years ago is sooooooooo much more idiotic than any of that...
