Rip Thomas is the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion, and his appearances on network television have been a thorn in the side of Mr. Brell, the head of the struggling World Television Network. Rip is a huge ratings draw while WTN is the lowest rated television network. The day after Rip's most recent title match, Brell attempts to get Rip to become a part of his network but he refuses. Angry at being stood up by a man he considers a “jock ass”, Brell tries to exact revenge to no avail as Rip fights off his goons.
