The camera pans backstage
RYU: (Singing) I’ve Got a Love-Ly Bunch of Coco-nuts
RYU: Here They Are A-Standing in a Row…
Spider turns to see Dimsmore standing behind him, arms crossed
RYU: Hellooooo I didn’t notice you there Dims my friend.
Dimsmore: I see you’re still up to your old tricks.
Dimsmore: Thumb to the eye to avoid the Driver. Grabbing the tights on the roll up. The ref was blind as a bat, so of course he didn’t see it.
RYU: What’s that old saying? ADAPT OR… something or other, it escapes me at the moment
Dimsmore slowly lets his arms down. His face, rather stoic, but you can see in his eyes that he’s on the verge of blowing a gasket. And just when you think he’s going to fire up and swing on Ryu, he settles and extends his hand for a handshake.
Dimsmore: (Still mid handshake) Just don’t forget your “Spider Tactics'' when you step in the ring with Ar… Is it Air-Rees? Or Ar-Rays? I forget. One too many drops on the ole noggin’.
RYU: If there’s one thing I know how to do, its survive, so when it comes to me and Air Rays, you can be sure, I’ll do whatever it takes to be the last one standing.
An overwehleming, aromatic aroma of Mayhem flesh and Nate tattoo infiltrates the olfactory senses as what little practical light arranged for the segments slowly dwiddles with every trudge of “The Ambition Era’s Apex Predator ''.
Otherwise naked if not for the pearlescent shower towel engulfed by the beasts belly, the enormous tattooed girth of the Samoan Savage gleams in a glisten of fat and Basashimi grease that trails the goliath in drips from nearly every gold capped incisor and fingertip.
Spider and Dimsmore turn to look at the Samoan Monster
RYU: Well helloooo Pato, I didn’t notice you there
Dimsmore: He’s a 400lbs greased up Samoan in a towel and you”didn’t” notice him???
GRUDGE MATCH
MAXX EDWARDS vs. KASSIDY HAYES
Red Sun Rising is well underway as the camera cuts backstage walking behind a man in a pinstriped suit. As the camera pans back it is revealed to be Nate Ortiz walking with a purpose.
He turns a corner and stops at a door. He takes a deep sigh and opens the door and walks in. You catch a glimpse of a Lion on the door as the camera quickly enters behind Nate.
Nate: It’s been a while man. You know I tried to speak to you at that dinner a couple weeks ago but that didn’t work out too well for some security guards.
Nate laughs as he continues.
Nate: Look man we are on the same soil we did battle on 5 years ago. And I just have to let you man to man that it still eats me alive that I couldn’t defeat you 1 on 1 in our two matches. But I’ve come to accept that you are just the other GOAT of OCW. The Lion GOAT.
Drago Cesar stands up from his seated position.
Drago: Nate Ortiz. The man who I share Wrestlution 11 main event with. The match that made me into who I am today.
Drago:
Thank you for your kind words. People like to call me “Best in the World” and GOAT.
Drago:
I dunno if I’m agree, especially looking at all these hungry young lions accomplishing so much, some of them yours like Tony and Rust.
Drago: And you still going at it to this day, with no sign of stopping. There a reason why everyone call you G.T.G.O.A.T. That drive and competitive spirit is unlike any other.
Drago:
I know that the result of those matches bother you. But I was lucky. One wrong move, one slow reaction is all it takes when guys like us are in the ring.
The hunter offers his hand to Nate.
Drago: Good to see you again. And good luck out there.
Nate: Good to see you too brother.
Nate nods at Drago as the scene fades.
THE LEGEND RETURNS!
