Ladies and Gentleman we are back on the scene! With RIOT 600!
Holy crap we finally made it!
Rust makes his entrance to the Riot 600 arena with his OCW World Championship on his shoulder. He is prepared for the occasion, dark blue costume, bow tie, this is a special occasion and the electricity in the air can be felt from miles away.
Rust:..
Rust: BONJOUR !
The crowd rawr "IDIOTS !" in unison as they all cheer their Champion of the World.
Rust: So let's get right into the thick of things shall we ?
Rust: Riot 600 !! I had to come out, all dressed up for the occasion, and I have all the confidence in the world that people are gonna step their game up tonight.
Rust: We could see a Horse champion by the end of the night ! Imagine that.
Rust: Still hope my brother Quartz takes it home so we can celebrate later today.
Rust: ANYWAY, I know what you are wondering: "Why is Rust Cohle the only Champion to not defend his tonight ?"
Rust: Well, Emp is kind of uncontrollable lately so I had a little talk to our very own JCS for the occasion.
Rust: And I am here to announce to you all that you have your first official match of the new season !
Rust: And it all goes down at Road To Glory ! Heavyweight Champion of the World "FrenchBlade" Rust Cohle VERSUS "Big Country" Mark Reese !
Rust: Pretty sure that you will hear from him later tonight. I didn't really have the opportunity to reach out to him or his fellows lately but we are all pretty busy I guess.
Rust: I gladly accepted your challenge, big man ! As 2 former historic Tag Team champions, this should be a great one.
Rust: But I want you to remember something my man ! Just like Lucha Country tried to follow in the footsteps of CQC, I know you will try your best to be the best World Champion we could have and I am sure you will be !..
Rust: But just like that time LC hoped to dethrone CQC. You'll have your moment. But ultimately, Rust Cohle is beating Mark Reese.
Rust: You will be a great Champion one day. Just not at my expense..
Rust: Mark Reese.. At R2G, Rust Cohle walks out YOUR Heavyweight Champion of the world.
LOCKHORN CHALLENGE!
OCW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
AISU* vs. ????????
Backstage, it seems Jasmin Kaffee is getting ready for the biggest match of her career, a nervous swear on her brow as she aimlessly shadowboxes in front of the mirror in the women’s locker room. She’s muttering to herself the entire time, each word hissed with barely concealed loathing.
Jasmin: You can’t do this.
Jasmin: You’re not good enough. You’ve never been good enough. You got brought in to be a pretty face and you’re not even good enough for that.
Jasmin: You don’t deserve to be here. You don’t deserve this opportunity. You don’t deserve to be in the same building as these women, let alone the same ring. You’re a useless piece of sh-
Terra: Jasmin?
As if nothing has happened, Jasmin forces a smile and turns to greet Terra with an exuberant hug.
Jas: Hey, hon! Man, we really got TOG good last week, didn’t we! Man, you shoulda seen the look on Shianne’s face when I told her I was on board, oh, I’m such a bad liar but they actually BOUGHT IT!
Terra: They did. I usually do not like organizing that kind of underhanded thing, but sometimes even nature has to fight fire with fire…
Terra: But more importantly, is everything okay with you?
Jasmin:Y-yeah, I’m great!
Terra approaches Jas with a concerned look on her face and interrogates the Pro Wrestling Powerhouse with sharp eyes before relenting and eventually smiling back.
Terra: Good. I am glad to hear that.
Jasmin: So, uh… yeah.You got Shianne tonight, huh? She seems like a tough customer, but you’ve been in your fair share of nasty scraps before. Nothin’ you can’t handle.
Terra: It is true, despite how much I regret some of my past, it has prepared me for bullies like Shianne, Kameyo and Kumiko.
Terra: Shianne tonight has a major advantage against me, but her biggest disadvantage is her arrogance. I believe I can send a message to those three charlatans in my contest tonight.
Terra: …And you? How are you feeling before your match? It sure would do us all well for you and Harri to get along, but I know I have tried with her and she is… Unique.
Jasmin: She’s certainly not my favorite, yeah. I just like EMP a lot less. Maybe once someone teachers her some manners, she’ll mind *her* Etiquette around the rest of us for a while.
Terra: Okay. Well, I just wanted to say good luck tonight. This is a big night for all of us.
Terra reciprocates with a big hug and turns to walk out, stopping at the door as Jasmin turns back to continue preparing. Before Terra exits, she turns back one last time.
Terra: And Jasmin?
Jasmin: Yeah?
Terra: …Sue and I… We believe in you. We have always believed you were good enough.
Jas does not turn, instead nodding slightly now knowing Terra heard her entire self-loathing speech.
Terra smiles in her direction before exiting the room.
