## Story

Matt Jackson is playing with his children as the episode starts.His yourn son does he "Suck it" crotch chop which is bleeped out. Cut to Matt and Nick in the car as they are driving to Reseda for the *Battle of Los Angeles* show. Matt has to pull over as he can't concentrate on driving because he is so worried about Hangman since his disappearance. No one has heard from Page in a week. Matt turns to the camera and asks "Where's Hangman?" as the opening credits run.

Later The Young Bucks are backstage at the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla show and Matt talks about how hot it is in the building. Christopher Daniels interrupts and says that they had better come and check on Kenny Omega who is backstage. Matt and Nick find Kenny in the store room with a load of empty beer bottles as Kenny drunkely wails about Hangman being gone. Matt and Nick insist that they are going to find him but Kenny is inconsolable. Kenny insists that it was the WWE stooge that is doing this and The Bucks agree but tell Kenny he has to sober up for his match. Kenny claims that the stooge is Cody and insists that he has been behind all their recent problems. The Bucks disagree and say they all love Cody. Kenny accuses Matt and Nick of being bitches to Cody and Vince McMahon as they cut the camera.

Matt and Nick's latest *YoungBucksMerch.com* commercial follows. Later Marty Scurll has arrived backstage and Nick tells him that Kenny is wasted. Marty is shocked as Kenny doesn't drink but The Bucks are certain. Marty asks what Kenny has been drinking they point to a pile of empties and Marty says that those are his beers and they are non-alcoholic. Confused they all go to find Kenny.

Kenny is still in the barrel store but seems sober and apologies to everyone. He says he shouldn't have drunk so many beers but wont accept that they were non-alcoholic. Marty asks why Kenny has written "Brandi" on some tape on his wrist. Kenny looks embarassed and adds a "T" and says that it is "BrandIt" who are his new sponsor. The group are not convinced but Kenny says they are a new company that brands things and impots precious metals. The others congratualte him on getting a personal sponsor as they all hi-five.

Cut to Gregory Helms, ace reporter who asks "Where's Hangman?" Back at the show Marty is still worried about Hangman but Matt says they should ask the man who knows everything about professional wrestling - Dave Meltzer. Marty thinks this is a great idea and points out that Dave is standing next to them. The pair ask Metzer if he has any info but he says that maybe Page is in Connecticut somewhere. Cut to Matt Morgan who says that even though he is in the middle of hurricane Erma, all he can think about is "Where's Hangman?" Hurricane Helms is up next nd even with his super powers he does not know where Hangman is. Then it is Ricochet who worriedly asks where Hangman is? This is followed in quick succession by Sami Callihan, Excalibur, Chuck Taylor, Trevor Lee and Dave Meltzer again who all wonder where Hangman is. Cut to an unnamed location where Curry Man is making some instant noodles. His phone rings and it The Young Bucks asking him if he knows where Hangman is. Curry Man panics and looks around but says that Hangman isn't there.

Matt and Nick are back home playing basketball in Nick's yard but they are not making any hoops. Matt says they can't get their heads in the game as they are worrying about Hangman but there is nothing else they can do. They even put it on a t-shirt (which they plug for sale at Pro-Wrestling Tees). Matt says that he feels Page might be coming back and they should look for his body. Matt gets wound up and goes for another basket but Matthew Massie Snr. blocks his shot. Matt falls to the floor and writhes in pain. Poppa Buck says the pair have to get their heads together, that Page is out there somewhere andthey just need to open their minds and their eyes.

Matt and Nick wonder what Poppa Buck was talking about but suddenly Nick is on his own, his eyes roll back and he is having a vision. The camera pans back and rapidly heads off into the desert. Eventually the vision fades into Hangman who is tied to a chair in a darkened room trying to get free. Someone grabs his head from behind and tapes his eyes open as they point him at a screen showing WWE shows. Hangman screams in pain before the episode finishes.

## Notes

* Gregory Helms and Hurricane Helms are the same person - Hurricane was a comedy super hero charcater he used to portray on WWE TV.
* Curry Man is a masked Japanese wrestler that is in fact Christopher Daniels
* Nick is the latest of the group to get his own super power as he develops the ability to have visions.
