***The scene opens backstage shortly after Assault. Akira Wyld and Damon Knight are making their way down the hall in an awkward silence. Damon trudges a few steps ahead of Akira on his way to the Wyld locker room. As he approaches the door, he turns to Akira. Akira nods and looks around uncomfortably.***
AKIRA: “So... I uh... I appreciate the save out there. Armageddon had me... dead to rights. You’re probably the only reason I’m not in the hospital right now.”
***Damon sighs and puts his hands on his hips.***
DAMON: “Yeah well... don’t get used to it. You’re still an asshole.”
AKIRA: “This is true.”
DAMON: “But that doesn’t mean I want to see your career ended by those painted clowns. You know... it still burns me to see people referring to them as the ‘greatest tag-team of the generation.’ There was a time when people talked about the Wyldknights like that.”
AKIRA: “Yeah, what ever happened to us?”
DAMON: “What happened... was that you superkicked me off the stage after our loss at the East Coast Elimination Tournament.”
AKIRA: “Well... you did get pinned and cost us our shot at regaining the IWF Tag-Team Championship.”
DAMON: “I got pinned because you got distracted at ringside and weren’t there to head off the Nova Brothers double-teaming me into next week.”
AKIRA: “Yeah... look. I’m... well... maybe I haven’t always handled things the right way.”
DAMON: “Please... don’t start with this. You were in trouble and against my better judgement I helped. End of story.”
AKIRA: “I guess... yeah. But it doesn’t have to be. You’ve still got a hell of a lot left in that tank. And if those knees of yours can hold up... I could use a partner... at Vendetta.”
***Damon raises and eyebrow.***
DAMON: “A partner? What kind of trouble are you planning on getting in now?”
AKIRA: “I’m finishing the trouble I started. That means taking down Armageddon. And... I can’t do it alone.”
DAMON: “You realize that with Nakamura and Spoils out there the odds are against you and whoever is stupid enough to stand by your side.”
AKIRA: “So you’re saying the Wyldknights just aren’t in Armageddon’s league huh?”
DAMON: “The hell I am.”
AKIRA: “Is that a yes then?”
***Damon looks down and frowns.***
DAMON: “I’m an idiot for even considering this after the crap you put me through all those years ago.”
AKIRA: “You’re an idiot regardless.”
***Damon cracks a slight smile.***
DAMON: “The Wyldknights together one last time against stiff odds?”
AKIRA: “One and done. Don’t get used to it.”
DAMON: “Alright... alright. But you had better keep your damn ego in check. And I swear to God that if you superkick me off a stage at Vendetta I’m going to break you in half.”
AKIRA: “It’s a deal.”
***The two former partners shake hands as the camera fades to black.***
AKIRA: “So... I uh... I appreciate the save out there. Armageddon had me... dead to rights. You’re probably the only reason I’m not in the hospital right now.”
