After Assault, Terry Schneider tracks down Nick Spoils.
TERRY: "Nick, do you mind if I ask you..."
NICK: "Hold up, son. I know what you're going to ask, but I've got more issues to talk about tonight than you're going to let me get to. So why don't you just hand me that microphone and scram."
TERRY: "I don't know if that's..."
NICK: "Just look behind you son."
The camera pans around as Terry looks behind him to see Yamasaki Nakamura looking down at Terry, a handful of tenpenny nails in his hand. Terry gulps as Yamasaki calmly takes one of the nails and pops it in his mouth, chewing on it as if it was candy. Terry backs away for a second, then wordlessly hands Nick the microphone and runs away. Camera focuses in on Nick as Yamasaki makes his way behind him, periodically munching on another nail.
NICK: "So as I said, I have a number of issues to talk about tonight. First and foremost, as that boy was about to ask me, has to deal with my man Yamasaki Nakamura, and why I was at ringside tonight. In case it isn't patently obvious at this point, we have joined forces. That is right, Nakamura is my latest client. As for why now...well, I travel all over the world looking for talent, looking for the men who intimidate and destroy. But even I cannot know everyone everywhere, and until this man's match with Akira Wyld, I was unaware of him. But when I saw him tear apart Wyld, well, there was only one thing I could possibly do. So after that match, I tracked him down, and we had a...meeting of the minds. So now, PWA, be warned. Yamasaki Nakamura is here, he's on the warpath, and he WILL tear each and every one of you apart. See, he may not win often according to the dirt sheets, but be certain of one thing. When you step into the ring with Nakamura, you WILL NOT leave the same man you were when you entered. Ask Wyld. Ask Holliday. And that is a win is anyone's book."
Armageddon steps into the frame, forcing the cameraman to re-frame to get everyone in the shot. Ragnarok is obviously sporting a bandage down one side of his face, and there's a set of stitching on his arm.
NICK: "Now, on to my next issue. See, the powers that be here in the PWA haven't seen fit to give my boys Armageddon a match since the debut episode. And on that episode, they face the Ripcord Brothers. The...far be it from me to disparage anyone else on this roster, but the Ripcord Brothers? They faced Brian Fury in a handicap match the very next episode, AND LOST! Now, Brian's a beast. I know this better than most, because he was under my tutelage at one point before he and James Savage decided they'd be better off without me. Brian, incidentally, should you ever wish to come back into the fold, all you have to do is ask. My point is, the one and only tag team my boys have faced off against LOST in a handicap match where they had the superior numbers. Not exactly the biggest test of their strengths, is it?"
NICK: "Which brings me to my last point for today. See, if PWA management isn't going to book Armageddon in a match, it falls on my shoulders to find one. And it so happens that there was a challenge made to my boys a few weeks ago that I have seen in a new light. There was a match tonight between two rather interesting teams. One, Alpha Omega, came out and looked good for a while. But the true light at the end of the tunnel, the sublime pain that ended the match? Junior Cobra, the way you absolutely laid out Bokrug Manaj in one single move? Truly phenomenal. Bellisimo, as they say. A few weeks ago, I told you to prove yourself before I deemed you worthy to step in the ring with my boys? Well, tonight, you proved yourself. So, I have taken it upon myself to craft a match, for the next episode of Assault, between Armageddon and the Coldsnakes. All you have to do is say yes. I truly hope you do, gentlemen. My boys need a test. And just think of the storylines. Hades Lock against the Anaconda Vice. Awaken the Serpent against the Cobra Strike. Beautiful music will be made in that ring. Just say yes."
NICK: "And that's that. Boys, let's go."
Nick walks out of frame, followed closely by Armageddon. Yamasaki Nakamura starts to follow, then stares directly at the camera for a moment. He tosses the rest of the nails in his hand into his mouth, and chews a couple times, wipes a trace of blood off that has started running out of his mouth, and follows.Statistics: Posted by Nick Spoils — Sun Jan 28, 2018 2:00 am
