Max Boot highlight reel

This is a focused record of what happened to Max Boot, from Mark's perspective.

## Season 1 Episode 1

Max did a hype video of him doing a bunch of lightning fast kicks, knees, elbows, and fore-arm strikes into a TKD wooden training dummy. He then looked straight into camera and said "I'm cutting the Line." The camera cut off before his eye roll becomes too obvious.

Max Boot faced off against Chelsea Clementine in his debut match. He started by calling her out for being a southern racist, which mostly confused the audience and fell flat. He dod his usual set of elbow strikes, knees, and kicks, tossing her around the ring. She responded, but he dominated her pretty well, and eventually tossed her to the mat, stomped on her a bit, and did the Maximum Boot which popped really well. After the victory is declared, he stomped her leg and said "The South will not raise again." which popped and cemented his status as a heel.

After the match, Max went to Chelsea and apologized for being so mean to her. She was tremendously excited by the heat they generated, and laughed off the minor injuries she sustained. She and Angela Alcyone related the story of how Chelsea did a barbed wire match in her hardcore circuit days and won with blood pouring down her arm - she later had to get a transfusion for a liter or so of blood. Max, who has also won fights while losing blood, wass horrified and terrified: his victories were dangerous struggles, followed by a desperate attempt to get to the hospital before he died. They are not the kind of story he tells later as a "cool story, bro" moment.

Gary Booker took Max aside and mentioned that the sexist cheating heel seemed to pop, and Max needed to do more of that.

Max was paired with "Loverboy" Maivia to announce Mason Dixon's match against the Baron von Arnis. Max forgot wrestling terms, nearly broke kayfabe a couple of times, and couldn't remember the Baron's name. After the match, Max called out Dixon somewhat incoherently: "You? You came back but you're over. Just 'cause you beat some over-the-hill German doesn't mean you're back. Except you're - " at this point, Max did one of his lightning fast trips - "on your back, with my boot on your chest." Max was supposed to emphasis **boot** but missed the cue. Dixon swore back at Max and tripped him from the ground, and the two generated plenty of heat.

Max asked Gary to not book him against Mason, since Max realized that Mason's position on the card means Max is mostly likely to lose. Gary nodded with understand and worked his book.

Max returned to the announcer table for A-Game's match against Silvio “La Serpiente” Ortiz. The narration was kind of confused.

Toward the end, there was a bunch of confusion among the players - Frances didn't think that A-Game would be allowed to win the Confederation Cup on her debut, and wanted a DQ while she had the upper hand for a moral victory. I mostly misunderstood the request, and wanted to use up some of Max's Momentum (he had 3-4 left in the last 15 minutes of the game), and figured that doing a run-in and obviously cheating for La Serpiente would get La Serpiente DQ'd without losing the Cup. This would mean that A-Game, the weaker contender, would have the Cup and it would be easier to Max to win the championship. Obviously, DQing La Serpiente would mean that he kept the Cup, so this was a terrible misunderstanding of how things work out - my thinking was pretty muddled. Max Boot ran in, grabbed A-Game in front of the ref, and set La Serpiente for some cheap punches. Max Boot tried to use the Heel move to change the booking so La Serpiente would win, but A-Game used the Face move to reset it to herself. Max Boot had A-Game in a full nelson, with her feet off the floor, but she tucked a foot behind his knee and used that and an power crunch to pull his face into La Serpiene's punch, then did something for victory. Afterwards, Max said (was supposed to shout, but Max), "You made me look bad. I'll take the championship from you, A-Game."

Max Boot ended with 2 or 3 audience, 3 Heat with A-Game, and 4 Heat with Dixon. He's pretty like to get the top spot *if* he can get into a match with Dixon without losing any heat, so he might try a run-in during Episode 2.
