WHAM! A fist jams through the television set...

It reaches around Richards' skull... AND TWISTS HIS NECK 180 DEGREES!

Blood fills Richards' throat and eyes as he collapses, his face bent towards his own ass.

Flynn kicks off the television before striking a pose.

"Go home! And be a family man corpse!"

A loud booming voice declares...

MARK FLYNN WINS - TV-ALITY

***

We zoom out. The horrifying murder we just witnessed takes place on a TV screen.

Mark Flynn and Alex Richards are sitting on a couch, playing a video game called 'Kick-Out Fighting Simulator 2K24'.

"See, now, I don't have to kick out at all. People can just come to this room and play the game and we'll decide pin falls that way."

Richards is decidedly skeptical.

Alex: I dunno, man. This was... something. But, I don't think you can beat the sheer entertainment value of a kickout.

...

Alex: For example.

Alex reaches one arm and presses Flynn gently against the couch.

Dennis, in a gaming beanbag chair between the two, lifts one finger!

Two!

...Flynn gently rolls a shoulder off the couch.

...

Flynn sighs, admitting defeat.

"No, yeah, guess you're right. Video games just can't compare to THAT sort of storytelling."
