THE ROAD SO FAR… (1/3)
BUNK BED BROS!
Chris: Our tag gimmick should be Bunk Bed Bros!
Ricky: Absolutely not.
Chris: This bunk bed has seen so much, bro.
Ricky: So much of you wetting the bed that you were forbidden to sleep on the top bunk.
Chris: Maaaaaan. Senior year was tough, bro!
Ricky: You were too high to walk down the hall to the bathroom, dummy. There was nothing tough going on.
Chris: I do likes my weed, bro.
Ricky: I know. That’s why I’m going to do solo stuff in APW for the time being. You understand, right?
Chris: Fa sho, bro. I’ll still be along for the ride ‘cause… like… we live in the RV now, bro. They got good catering at APW or nah?
Ricky: No idea. I got the contact for the APW vs. The World stuff from Kevin… and I have no idea what I’ll be walking into on Monday.
Chris: Oh shit. Monday, bro? Don’t we have CruiserClash?
Ricky: Not this week. Sara has a match against Damian Kaine, but we’ve got nothing. Hence… APW…
Chris: Riiiiiight on, bro. Who are you beating up for APW then?
Ricky: A guy called Daniel Christopher. He’s new to APW… but I guess he’s been around for a while. He’s a new York guy… like us… but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of him.
Chris: He got a cool nickname or nah?
Ricky: He calls himself The Mindless.
Chris: Like Mindless Self Indulgence, bro? That’s my favorite local band!
Ricky: They haven’t been together since like 2014… but no, I don’t think he’s in MSI. I don’t know much about him… other than he’s prepared to kick my ass on Monday apparently. He’s got some pretty strong words for our match… and that’s cool. I want him to come at me with every weapon in his arsenal. I need to know if I can stand on my own in singles action. It’ll be awesome to go out there and not have to worry about doing cool tag team shit for a change.
Chris: Tag team shit is the best, bro!
Ricky: It really is… but also… I just need to know what I can do on my own. Who knows. It might be pretty cool… and you might like it, too.
Chris: Naaaahhh, bro. Tag team shit is all I know, bro.
Ricky: That severely limits your bookings though. Look at what we’ve done on CruiserClash. When they need a tag team… we’ve got a match. When they don’t need a tag team… we don’t get a call for weeks or even months at a time. You’ve got to open up your horizons a little, Chris.
Chris: So like… doing solo shit… what’s your plan for Danny Christopher?
Ricky: My plan? Well that’s simple. Win. I guess that’s more of an end goal… and I have to make it up as I go. Taking a few years off… I imagine Daniel is a bit rusty. He’s confident, but maybe he shouldn’t be. He has no way to prepare for the unknown… and my first time in a long time at singles action… is definitely the unknown. He plans on defeating me like he did his addictions. A clear and present opponent is a dangerous one.
Chris: Addictions, bro? I don’t know anything about that.
Ricky: When’s the last day you didn’t smoke week?
Long, awkward pause.
Ricky: Exactly. He wants to beat me senseless… but he promised not to stab me… so that’s fun. I’m pretty sure this is just a standard match… but this dude would probably do really well in a hardcore match. Taking away the rules would benefit him. Keeping the rules… will benefit me. Like you… I was raised in a wrestling ring. This business is in my blood. Now it’s time to go out on my own and do whatever it takes to make an impact in APW… land a contract… and work my way toward a shot at the Junior Heavyweight Championship.
Chris: They got belts at APW, bro?!
Ricky: Yes… of course…
Chris: Nice! We should go there and win the---
Ricky: Stop. Please. For now… let me test the waters on my own.
Another fellow star signed up for APW vs. The World… Lexi Sparkles… knocks on the open door and walks into the room.
Chris: Heyyyyy, Lexi. What’s goooood?
Lexi: Quick question. Where are we wrestling on Monday?
Ricky: Boulder, Colorado.
Chris: Colorado, bro?! Can we stop in Denver on the way? My homie Chicken Nuggz has a pot shop there that I've heard is doooooope as fuck, bro.
Ricky sighs… and the scene fades to black...
