"The Irish Adonis" Bobby O'Brady and "The Scottish Wrecking Machine" Al Thoes sit and watch a video of Kyle Roberts latest opus. They watch as Ryan Kingston does his various impressions. And they don't look too impressed. Actually, they look kind of confused.
O'Brady: Funny thing is, the man makes a bit of sense.
Thoes: Stop thinking it.
O'Brady: No. What are we gaining by seeking out fan appreciation?
Thoes: Respect. The momentum that we gain by having a crowd cheer us on. Merchandise sales always help, since we can't always pay the bills with just our paycheck.
O'Brady: Oh great, say we're doing it for the money. That'll get people behind us!
Thoes: Bobby. We're both frustrated right now. That's the only reason Roberts is getting to you. I mean, he had to know the impression was half assed. But it got your attention. And then he puts a few ideas out there, trying to get you into his mind space. Lesson the beating you'll give him on Tuesday. Maybe get a new ally to help him get back on track in REBEL. And then you know what'll happen?
O'Brady: What?
Thoes: We wind up in the back of a van with Bayman Jakey as we search for Lloyd Rees all over B.C . We lose whatever edge we used to have. We lose match after match. And we wind up spending six months of our career trying to work our way back up. Do you want that to happen again?
O'Brady: No.
Thoes: Do you want to beat Roberts clean in the middle of the ring?
O'Brady: Of course!
Thoes: Do you want the Celtic Assassins to climb to the top of the REBEL rankings?
O'Brady: Yes! Though I would have been happier if you hadn't challenged Caliban...
Thoes: Not now Bobby. We're dealing with your match. A match you may not have the technical skills to win. But you have the determination. The power. And hopefully, the fans behind you. All you have to do is focus where it's most important and we'll be...
At this point, Leland Conrad, Attorney at Law, bursts into the room. he has a tape of Kingston and Roberts, and a look of rage in his eyes.
Conrad: (seething) Kingston. (spits) you should have told me he was here. I would have been down on the first plane.
O'Brady: That's pretty much why we didn't...
Conrad: If I want to hurt Kingston, you have to take out Roberts! So I brought some people down to help! We're going to take care of this Kingston thing once and for all!
Thoes: I think most people forgot about that plot thread...
O'Brady & Conrad: Huh?
Thoes: I mean history between two. Yeah... (his eyes dart back and forth suspiciously)
Conrad: I never forgot. I mean, I waived how many of your guys fees so you could concentrate on beating D-X? Just in case you forgot, I brought a sum of what I'd be owed if I hadn't made our agreement.
Conrad hands a paper to O'Brady and Thoes. Both their eyes go wide.
O'Brady: Well what are we bloody waiting for? Let's get that wee beggar before he does any more damage!
