Jay Phillips: Hello fans! Welcome to the NRWL Arena Interview Stage. Thanks for all of you in attendance today. We have a great interview lined up for you today. After Ash and Slam Jackson issued a challenge to Marty Anderson and Slugger Malone, I felt we needed to get a response from them. So, let’s bring them out.
*Marty Anderson’s music starts playing and he comes out with Slugger Malone to the Interview Stage. The fans give a mixed response, mostly jeers. Both wrestlers don’t seem to be paying attention to them.*
JP: Marty Anderson, Slugger Malone, thank you for coming today.
Marty Anderson: With pleasure, Jay. We’re going to cut right to the chase. We went into singles competition last week but first and foremost, we are a team. This time around, we want a tag match.
JP: Well, surely you know that you were challenged this week by Ash and his partner, Slam Jackson.
Slugger Malone: The hell are you talking about?
MA: Yeah, this is the first we’re hearing of this.
JP: Ok, wait. So you are saying that you haven’t seen the challenge?
SM: No, we haven’t! That’s exactly what we’re telling you, Jay.
JP: Well, I think you’ll need to see this. Please play the Ash and Slam clip from yesterday.
*On the screen behind Jay, Anderson, and Malone, the challenge that was issued to them begins to play. Anderson and Malone watch intently at the beginning. Suddenly, as Slam Jackson falls through the wall and stumbles to collect his fedora, both men start looking at the screen with a stunning and confused look. They begin to look at each other in confusion as the clip continues on. Malone begins scratching his head. Anderson starts whispering something into Malone’s ear, whose only response is to shake his head. Finally, when the clip ends, both men turn to Jay with a blank stare.*
JP: There you have it. You’ve been challenged by Ash and the Slamnation.
*The audience begins to cheer.*
MA: Oooh Kaayyy... So. Well. Well geez, Jay, what is that supposed to be? Some sort of joke? If these clowns want a match, then we’ll give them a match.
SM: The... Slam.. Nation?
MA: I don’t know, they’re idiots. If Ash and Slam Jackson think they have a chance to--
*The fans begin to cheer at the mention of Ash and Slam.*
MA: Oh you can’t be serious. Do you people really think these two clowns are worth your time?
*The fans cheer even louder.*
MA: You know, there are some real, true wrestling fans who judge a competitor by their talent in the ring, not their goofy antics outside of it. I don’t care what you people think of Ash and Slam Jackson. The truth is, they may make good comedians but they can’t hold a candle to Marty Anderson and Slugger Malone.
SM: You’re abso- *The fans are chanting ‘Ash and Slam! Ash and Slam!’* - Hey! Shut up! I’m talking here!
*The crown continues their chant. Slugger Malone sneers and draws his lips into a thin line. Finally, he continues to speak over the chants.*
SM: It’s going to be a real pleasure to watch all you fans with tears in your eyes when we beat your jokester heroes in the ring. Ash and Slam have no chance against us. Ash already lost to us once before. Slam is no threat to us. We’ll make sure to silence the Slamnation and then finish the job that Abbadon started on Ash.
MA: Slugger’s right. We’re coming in there to shut this little party down and make sure people know what real wrestlers look like. Whether you like us or hate us, you’ll respect us when you see what we do to these two clowns. Let’s get out of here, Slugger.
*Marty Anderson and Slugger Malone leave the Interview Stage. The fans are still chanting ‘Ash and Slam! Ash and Slam!’ as Jay stands alone.*
JP: Well, I guess that settles it. We’re going to have quite a tag team match when Ash and Slam Jackson take on Marty Anderson and Slugger Malone!
