“I have a job for you,” DiBiase says.
“I’m out of the game,” Mascaras says.
“You don’t event know what the job is.”
“Doesn’t matter,” Mascaras says, “Not after I had to leave El Solitario behind in the jungle after the last job.”
“Tell you what,” DiBiase says, “I’ll tell you what the job is and you can think it over.”
“... I’m listening but no promises.”
“Are you familiar with Chichen Itza?” DiBiase asks.
“Of course,” Mascaras says. “It’s a temple in the Yucatan.”
DiBiase nods. “There’s a hidden treasure beneath the temple. The Heart of Chichen Itza. It’s supposedly a sapphire the size of a bowling ball.”
“How much?” Mascaras asks.
“No one knows how much its worth but something that priceless can only be at home with the Million Dollar Man.”
“No, how much for me?” Mascaras asks.
“Double your usual.”
“Triple and I’ll think about it,” Mascaras says.
“Fine. When can you leave?” DiBiase asks.
“I said I’d think about it,” Mascaras says.
“I’ll be back tomorrow,” DiBiase says.

“I want quadruple my normal fee,” Mascaras says.
DiBiase laughs diabolically.
“A man after my own heart. I’ll tell you what. You beat Ox, you can have quadruple your normal fee. Ox beats you, this one is on the house.”
Mascaras thinks it over and agrees. “Tomorrow night, then.”
DiBiase nods.

Mascaras leaves. A montage of Mascaras driving his souped up cadillac through rough neighborhoods is shown. Masaras parks in front of a run down apartment building and goes upstairs.

“You know, one of these days, your luck is going to run out,” DiBiase says.

Chapter 4
The scene shifts to Mascaras boarding a small single engine plane. Mascaras looks over the materials DiBiase gave him before leaning back and taking a nap. The plan lands at a tiny airport on the outskirts of the jungle. Mascaras looks for his guide but doesn’t see anyone that fits the bill.

Mascaras looks for someone to ask when he hears grunting noises. Mil goes to investigate and finds a wrestling ring set up behind the airports pitiful terminal. A man in viking gear is pummeling a skinny local boy.

“Excuse me,” Mascaras says. “I’m looking for a guide to Chichen Itza.”

Mascaras shakes his head.
Eric the Red and Mascaras get into the world’s oldest jeep and head off into the jungle.

Chapter 5
Mascaras and Eric the Red talk as they drive.
“Are you sure you’ve been this way before?” Mascaras asks.
Eric nods. “No fond memories, though. There are wildmen in this part of the jungle, this close to the temple.”
“Wildmen?” Mascaras asks. “Preposterous.”

A tree falls across the jeep’s path and Eric slams on the brakes. Another tree falls behind them, trapping them in. Scores of hairy men wearing tattered, homespun clothes and animal skins surround the jeep and bark at Mascaras and Eric in an incomprehensible dialect.

“I think we should go with them,” Eric says.
“Too many for us to fight,” Mascaras says.

The two men are escorted deeper into the jungle until they reach a clearing. A primitive wrestling ring with vines for ropes dominates the clearing. A hairy man a little shorter than Mil stands in the center of the ring.

“Oh yeah!” he shouts. “No one passes through this jungle without beating me, Pampero Firpo!”

Mascaras flips into the ring and motions for one of the natives to ring the bell.

“My men will move the logs but beware the curse of the Heart of Chichen Itza.”
“What curse?” Mascaras asks.
“The Heart of Chichen Itza is a powerful artifact that corrupts all who touch it,” Firpo says.
“We’ll take our chances,” Mascaras says.

Once the logs are moved, Mascaras and Eric the Red resume their trip into the jungle.

Fade to black.

“I’ll wait here,” Eric says.
Mil lights a lantern and enters the dark catacombs beneath the ancient temple. After some fumbling in the dark, he arrives at a stone arena with a wrestling ring in the center.

A voice echoes through the chamber.
“Who has disturbed the resting place of Lord Zoltan, guardian of Chichen Itza?”
Mascaras rolls into the ring. “Mil Mascaras, the last Champion of Justice!”

The darkness coalesces into a ghostly figure in the corner opposite Mascaras and a gong rings, signalling the beginning of the match.

Mascaras rolls up Kharis in a small package for a two count. Mascaras goes to the top rope and hits the flying body press for the win.

The mummy disintegrates into dust and the ring sinks back into the floor. Remembering the words of Lord Zoltan, Mascaras uses a jeweled sceptre and pushes the Heart of Chichen Itza into his backpack without touching it.

Satisfied, Mascaras leaves the treasure chamber.

Fade to black.

Chapter 8
The scene shifts to a travel montage. Mil Mascaras and Eric the Red make their way back to the tiny airport and say their goodbyes. Mascas’ plane takes him back to Mexico City. Back in his apartment, Mascaras gazes on the photos of his departed friends.

The next morning, Mascaras meets Ted DiBiase and Ox Baker at Arena Mexico. There are no spectators. Mascaras walks to the ring with his backpack with Ox Baker and Ted DiBiase right behind.

“Well, hand it over,” DiBiase says.
Mascaras shakes his head.
“You have it in your backpack. My spies in the jungle saw you bring it out of the temple.”

Mascaras upturns his backpack and the Heart of Chichen Itza lands in the ring. DiBiase and Baker stand with jaws agape. Before they can react, Mascaras grabs the hammer the timekeeper uses to ring the bell. He smashes the Heart of Chichen Itza with it.

DiBiase drops to his knees.
“The secret of immortality is destroyed! Why!”
“No man can escape death!” Mascaras says.

Winner - Mil Mascaras by pinfall

Baker grabs DiBiase by the leg and pulls him out of the ring.
“We’ll get you next time, Mil Mascaras!” DiBiase yells.
“I wouldn’t bet on it,” Mascaras says.

Mascaras leaves the empty arena and goes to his cadillac. He opens the trunk, looks at the Heart of Chichen Itza, and smiles. The orb is too valuable to destroy and Mascaras will find a safe place to hide it.

Roll credits.

That is great. Reads just like the plot of one of those old movies.

Thanks! I wanted to roll some Mascaras matches and decided to wrap a cheesy story around it.
