We fade backstage to a bustling locker room area to find OCW’s very own Jim Black with a big smile as he welcomes in the OCW faithful.
Jim Black: Ladies and gentlemen of OCW! Welcome to the official premiere episode of OCW RIOT! The 619th edition of the flagship program as we hit the ground running on our way to Wrestlution 18 later this year.
Jim Black: As we get closer, everyone is positioning themselves as best they can before the biggest show of the year. One team that has had their goal very clear since Wrestlution last year…
Jim turns as the camera pans up slightly to reveal the “PERFECT STORM” locker room behind him.
Jim Black: …The Perfect Storm, in their quest to secure the OCW Undisputed Tag Team Championships will look for revenge against Kassidy Hayes and Wrex next week in a Brooklyn Tornado Tag match! I’m here to try and get some insi-
As he continues, the door opens and the two men step out, instantly looking more upset than they were before when they see Jim Black.
Quartz: Good lord.
H2O: What is it that you want?
Jim Black: Well - next week you two get your On Deadly Ground rematch with KassCum..
Quartz: Yes, Jim. Don’t say the name. You know how it makes people giggle.
Quartz: We requested that rematch the night of On Deadly Ground and fortunately we have some leadership around here that’s willing to do the right thing.
H2O: It’s only right, Jim. My partner was savagely and illegally attacked by Kassidy Hayes in Toronto. The unsanitary conditions between his legs knocked my brother unconscious when he put his head between them.
H2O: We’re not going to let him get away with that.
Jim Black: If I recall, you were the one who-
Quartz: Sounds like you have a bad memory, Jim.
A sudden shouting from down the hall can be heard, causing all three men to look up.
H2O: Is that Mario? No, no wait. I recognize that ridiculous ass voice.
The camera pans to see John Carter hustling down the hallway.
John Carter: You want a storm!? Why don’t you come try and cheapshot me, like you did last week to Jordan you cowards!
Carter gets closer as Quartz and H2O smirk and gesture towards him to bring it on. Before he can get too close, Jordan Trance runs in to grab his tag partner and attempt to hold him back. He is soon joined by a few smaller staff members.
Jordan Trance: John! When’d you get so strong.. In fact, nevermind, just… Hey! Calm it!
Jordan Trance: Not just now John!
John Carter: You wanted my attention, now you got it!
Jim Black’s crew has backed out of harms way as the two groups continue to shout at each other backstage after Perfect Storm’s sneak attack on Jordan Trance last week.
Quartz: Let him go, Jordan! He left you for dead, might as well leave him, too. We’ll clean up afterwards.
John Carter: That’s not what happened! You two waited until I left the ring to go after him. You guys are too scared of a fair matchup. You know we’re the better team and we’d take you guys out any day of the week!
Jordan Trance: Yeah! It’s not like he could have waited for me to get out first for a change, or like… There’s a pattern emerging or…
John Carter: I’m going to enjoy watching KasScum drop you again next week! Maybe then you two will realize you don’t have what it takes to be in the tag division.
Quartz and H2O shake their heads and walk off in the other direction as Jim Black looks back into the camera amidst the chaos.
Jim Black: Well folks, as you can see, the conflict in the ever bubbling tag team division picks up right where it left off On Deadly Ground. We’ll see how this plays out as we make our way to our first big stop at OCW Point Break this May. Back to you!
