The show opens backstage and we see eD cASe enter the hallway and he is shaking his head, looking frankly quite worried, he glances back as Travis Roberts strides, slowly due to recent injuries, through the doors, and it becomes clear why eD looks quite so worried, but not instantly.
It takes a few moments for us to realise something is wrong with the picture, 'The Headliner' is dressed as normal, he wears his aviators across his eyes, as his hair falls down around his face, as ever he has a pre-rolled insterted between his lips and a smile on his face. As he strides, with unified Global Championship draped across his right shoulder, we can tell something is wrong...but...
And then it hits, for close to twelve months Travis Roberts was not seen without the golden strap that proclaimed him the best GIW had to offer, but on this day, it is not his to carry.
He turns a corner with eD, and in the background we see Calypso Desmona, who was looking at the odd couple, swing on her heel and head towards the true Unified Global Champions locker room.
And instantly from that we are greeted by the grinning face of Jason Reeves, flanked by two men in black t-shirts and blue jeans. On Jason’s left the man with buzz cut hair stands near equal his height and glares between the infamously irritating interviewer and the camera. On Jason’s right a much taller man stands proudly with a roguish smile as he waits to take centre stage.
“GIW fans, I’m Jason Reeves here with, um, who are you guys?”
The shorter man turns face on to the side of Reeves, staring him in one eye from the side. As Jason twitches nervously the taller man reaches to draw the microphone across to his side.
“A fair question as my…friend here, forgot to mention last week while he was making out big debut for us. I sir, am Dashing….” he looks down the camera, smiling broadly, proudly while gesturing to himself. “…Duncan Ryder.”
Jason pauses for a moment, expecting Duncan to continue. When he doesn’t he speaks up. “Um and…” he looks up at Duncan and only gestures back to the smaller man with the slight nod of the head, seemingly fearful of provoking him.
“Oh, Johnny Blake.” Duncan adds as an afterthought.
“Ballistic.” The shorter man barks through gritted teeth directly into Reeves’s ear. He rolls his neck and cocks his head to the side. “Johnny Blake.” he adds.
“Yeah, what he said.” Duncan says dismissively. “Or you can call us The Thames Valley Hit Squad.”
“Catchy.” Jason says. “So you dudes made a bit of a splash last week with that unprovoked attack on Randy Boolzian last week. I guess the fans at home want to know, why go after the Red Bull Icon?” Jason turns and starts to reach the microphone out to Johnny who is still snarling and staring daggers into one side of him. Before he can fully reach though, Duncan reaches out and pulls the microphone back to himself.
“Um, you may not want to do that.” he says with a smirk. “Firstly I’d like to say that ‘our’ attack on Randy Boolzian, was actually…” he points to his partner. “His attack on Randy Boolzian. You may have noticed I had no part in it.” he holds his hands out and up slightly in mock surrender. “But I think Johnny was, in his own way, trying to make a point. That being that your tag team division here is a little…well…it’s a bit bollocks really isn’t it.”
“A bit…what?”
“I mean I don’t know how you usually do it over here but where I come from the tag team champions are generally, two people right? Anyway…I digress. What I’m trying to say is we’ve just got here and from what I can tell, we’re the top dogs on the pile. Now personally I like to demonstrate that in a dazzling display of wit and charm highlighted by a series of impressive technical victories over a range of ever more challenging opponents.” Duncan finally stops to breath. “But Johnny there doesn’t really have the patience for that so he just opted to clout the biggest guy in the head with something heavy.”
Jason looks back at Johnny again who carries on staring and simply cocks his head to the side, triggering a dull crack. Jason looks back.
“The end result is the same though. A week from today I believe is Infinity and in one fell swoop I think we’ve established ourselves as the Number 1 contenders to your Tag Team Championships.”
“Well there’s…” Jason starts then hesitates.
“My point entirely. If anyone else feels like they can dispute our claim then by all means try. We’ll be around.” Duncan finishes with a wink as he walks out of shot. Johnny grunts as he jerks his head forward, forcing the interviewer to flinch before he heads out of shot too.
