Ash, And You Shall Receive

May 3rd 2011

*Scene cuts to backstage where Jay is seen interviewing Ash*

Jay:  I’m here with the man who defeated Abbadon at the last show, Ash!

Ash:  What did I tell you Jay?  Abbadon and I stole the show!  Our match was epic!  But I knew the whole time I’d win because there was nobody out there that didn’t believe in me!  Ha ha ha!  Ooooh!  It hurts to laugh!

Jay:  Because your ribs got bruised when Abbadon chokeslammed you onto the steel steps?

Ash:  That might be part of the reason, but probably not.  Anyway, I called you here to drop some deneuralizing news for you and for the amazing fans!  I’m going to be in a match at the next show!

Jay:  …..that’s….not really all that ground-breaking.  I kinda expected you to—

Ash:  A tag match!

Jay:  O…….k…..   You already were in one so that’s really not surpr—

Ash:  Calling out Marty Anderson and Slugger Malone!

Jay:  Who beat you, so it’s understandable you would want a remat—

Ash:  With the entire Slamnation backing me, because my partner is none other than…. Slam!!!  ….JACKSON!!!!!

Jay:  Slam Jackson!?!

*Ash points over to a blank piece of conspicuously placed drywall.  A pair of pyrotechnic flames burst on both sides of it, and Slam Jackson bursts through the wall.  He “accidentally” loses balance and falls down through the rest of the wall, sending his fedora tumbling.*

Jay:  Ooooh my…..

*Slam crawls over to it in faux-panic and places it back on his hands and stands up.  He stands before Jay and Ash silently for a few seconds and dusts off his hands.  After a while he turns around and reaches back through the hole and pulls out a milkcrate which he walks over and places on the ground nex to Jay.  Slam climbs up on the milkcrate and throws his fists in the air*

Slam:  If you’re a citizen of Slamnation, then make some NOOOOOIIIIISSSE!!!!

*Off camera, all crew members and arena employees in the vicinity began cheering.*

Slam:  That’s right!  The population of Slamnation is growing every day!  And now, it’s going to increase exponentially because it’s joining forces with Ash!  That’s right!  The fans’ two favorite wrestlers will make up one dream team.  We will put on a clinic against Marty and Slugger for Slamnation members old and new!  Yeah!

Ash:  Well Jay, what do you think about that?

Jay:  I think we got ourselves one heck of a tag team match at the next show.

Ash:  Now you’re talking Jay!  With Slam Jackson and his Slamnation at my side, there’s not a doubt in my mind that we’ll take this match!

Slam:  Yeah!

*Slam jumps down off the milkcrate and shakes Ash’s hand.  Slam then turns and busts through the NRWL backdrop behind Ash and Jay, startling Jay and leaving a big hole where backstage equipment can be seen*

Jay:  Well, I guess we should wind this down.  Any closing statements, Ash?

Ash:  Oh heck yeah!  I read in President Sunderland’s e-mail that there’s a sort of Team Tournament coming up soon.

Jay:  How did you read his—

Ash:  I went to see him but he wasn’t there and his computer was unlocked.  I thought I’d just play Solitiare until he got back, but then I thought I’d check to make sure he got that e-card I sent him with the singing Dick Cheney.  It was so funny!  I’ll send it to you too!  What’s your e-mail?

Jay:  No, that’s ok.  But what about this tournament?

Ash:  Yeah, about that.  I want to be a team captain.  I think I not only got what it takes to lead my team to victory, but I’m also the fans’ favorite!  They’d want to see me captain of a team!  Team Ash.  Has a great sound to it!  So, my hat’s thrown into the ring.  Let’s make it happen!

Jay:  A challenge, a team, and a request from Ash.  How will it all pan out?  We will see at the next show.
