Go figure ANOTHER attempt at a screw job after the Lake Charles Screwjob
::Neil and Gideon are sitting by a pool relaxing. Neil and Gideon are smiling. Gideon has a bottle of Saki and Neil has a glass of tomato juice. The rest of the bottle of V8 is by the deck chair.::
Neil: Wow Seeves’s boy Finale involved in a title shot and his good buddy Seeves comes to the ring and drives a chair into Gideon’s face. Couldn’t see that coming could you? The only one that never saw it coming was Gideon who got blindsided.
Gideon: Lets see what type of suspension or fine do you get when someone interferes in a tag title match and actually hit the champ with a chair? What am I thinking Seeves is the commissioner. Of course nothing will happen it is Alex Seeves interfering in the match and Alex Seeves’s boy Finale benefiting from me getting hit with the chair.
Neil: There is one thing that I’ve learned in Core. Screw Jobs don’t just happen in Montreal and Lake Charles. They can also happen at the MGM Grand in Orlando. Look at the TUE. We could have had outside interference easily enough. Day we need help beating a couple of half wit losers like Finale and Willie we might as well just toss the belts and leave the ring.
Gideon: That is the difference between us and them. We treated them with nothing but contempt. They were beneath us. They are lazy sloths with no heart or passion. William Tremaine’s Legacy title run was so pathetic and boring I hear there is talk to pushing him towards Ted Masters and the Classic belt. Can you imagine the promos? I can see the disclaimers now. "Do not listen to while operating heavy machinery."
Neil: Two guys that are just going through the motions. You can see it in the eyes they talk the talk but their eyes are dead. They don’t have any love for wrestling anymore. They just come to the arena cut the promos wrestle the match then go home. Ted and Willie should team up. They are the perfect opponents. The black holes of heat and passion. No matter how over their opponents they kill the match by being themselves.
Gideon: So Finale how does it feel knowing that all the trash you talked was worthless? You couldn’t beat us and not only did the fans know it Alex Seeves knew it. He didn’t come to the ring because you and Willie were winning did he? You know that he saved you. Whether you believe it or even acknowledge you were beaten a small part of you knows this… "Gideon and Neil were right. I couldn’t beat them."
Neil: Reality sucks don’t it kid. You said you could beat us. You knew we were taking you and Willie lightly because you didn’t belong in the ring with us. Hell kid what even made you think you could beat us in the first place. I’ll tell you what made you think you could stand in the ring with us. Your good ole buddy Alex Seeves. You knew when the shit hit the fan he’d run down to the ring to save you. Good ole Seeves came out and saved you by driving the steel chair into Gideon’s face.
Gideon: There wasn’t a DQ for the interference by Alex Seeves in the match. Of course everyone knows why. The titles can’t change hands if Finale and Willie are DQ’d. Despite the referee seeing Alex Seeves kick the chair into my face there was no DQ.
Neil: Now you know why we kicked Seeves around. We knew he was going to try and screw us in the match a long time ago. We attack Banks we get reprimanded. On March 1st Finale attacks Deitrich, Paige, He jumps Gideon, and he attacks Artemis with a chair.
Gideon: Think about that. We attack one man and we get a personal visit from Seeves. Finale goes postal on 4 of the roster and he doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist. We knew going into the match that Seeves was playing it very subtle. By making the non-aggression contract he was protecting Finale and Willie to keep them healthy. Of course we picked up on it a long time ago. The attack on Seeves was a message which apparently he didn’t understand.
Neil: You stick your nose in our business and you are going to pay. You jump us and we get you and make you pay. You steal from us and you pay. Isn’t a hard MO to learn. There are guys you screw with and there are guys you don’t and Seeves is too damn stupid to know which is which.
Gideon: The reason we are still the tag team champions isn’t because we beat Finale and Willie. It is because the Commissioner got his boy Finale DQ’d for interfering in the match. It is funny how this business works isn’t it Seeves. You thought you had all the bases covered. You had Finale and Willie protected. You had the ref stooge for you not calling the DQ. You had things timed so you would be able to blindside me at the perfect time to get the win. You planned well but you made a mistake you underestimated us.
Neil: Ain’t like we haven’t got allies in Core. We are team players and old school. We don’t go to someone trying to fix a match we just kick asses and take names. Ain’t nothing subtle about it. We aren’t the type of guys to play the politics. Doing us a favor means that if you ask and we aren’t pissed off at you then we have your back.
Gideon: We know Mr. Fitzpatrick and we know that Matt Lanier is not happy with the way that Seeves has been running things. Everyone has noticed the favoritism he shows to certain people. I’ve done my research into things and know what Seeves has in mind for Finale, Skill, and Matt Epic. You see the man wants a stable because his career to put it bluntly was garbage. Since he couldn’t make a name for himself as a wrestler he is going to try and make it as a manager.
Neil: He wanted to make his name for his new stable by giving them the big win. His new stable beats the Core tag team champions the Alliance. Wasn’t happening. Every single guy in the back saw this coming and even though most of the roster thinks we are the biggest assholes ever to come to Core we still paid our dues. We took the screw jobs and we gave better then we got each and every time some one tried taking us down. Fitzpatrick wasn’t letting you take the easy way out. You have to earn your place and Seeves was trying to hand his boys an easy win. You want an easy win there are a lot of nickle and dime feds out there like Vintage that would be happy to put up with that crap. In Core that shit doesn’t fly because it is about wrestling here.
Gideon: Now we are done with Finale and Willie. They can go back to the mid card and try and work back up to our level. They had a chance to prove us wrong and quite frankly they blew it. Now while this may seem like I’m taking an awful lot of shots at William Tremaine I actually do have some respect for him. The man had a lot of drive and heart at one time. If he ever kicks Seeves and his stable to the curb and starts focusing on the things that made him what he was he could eventually get to that main event caliber he was a year ago. Skill Willie however is a parody of William Tremaine. William would never have let drugs cause him to jeopardize his career. William would have made the Legacy championship mean something by putting on the matches that make people remember why they became wrestlers. William would have never taken the easy win planned by Finale and Seeves to promote their stable. William was a wrestler first and an entertainer second because he loved everything about this business. It is a shame that William Tremaine hasn’t wrestled in Core in half a year it is just Skill Willie now.
Neil: We aren’t the type of guys that play well with others. Congratulations Alex you made the shit list and you are going down as number 2 and I’m writing this one down in pen. You might be wondering why you only got number 2. I’ll tell you. You will never be number 1 in anything and this is no different then your wrestling career punk.
Gideon: You know why Eugene reversed the decision? Simply put he doesn’t put up with crap from stupid people. I agree with how he put things. "People may not have liked me, but they didn’t dare cross me." That is our work ethic. Someone crosses us they learn why it was the biggest mistake you will ever make. How do we deal with people that cross us? We hurt them because we have noticed that even the most stupid and mentally vacant moron on the roster takes notice of pain and avoids crossing us in the future.
Neil: Now on to the new challengers. The next guys that think they can face the greatest team in Core are Danny Adams and Ryan Mendez. Do I get dibs on picking on the mime?
Gideon: Nah. I still remember the match Danny and I had. He was all into the psychology of the match. He wanted inside my head to rattle me and throw me off my game. It was a great idea but realistically it was very stupid. I’ve seen the best try mind games and while your efforts were decent I knew your style. For those of you that have forgotten I made him tap to the Jujigatame. Of course it is more commonly know as the Crippler Crossface.
Neil: Ain’t taking anything away from Danny boy. He is a solid wrestler. Wrestling is what Gideon and I are known for. Hell the kids coffee is too cold we got half an hour of angst about how the world is against him and even with a cold coffee he will persevere and all that other woe is me my childhood sucked because I never had hot coffee pity me bullshit.
Gideon: Morose, sullen, depressed… Any of these words ringing a bell Adams?
Neil: By the way kid you are the worst mime I’ve ever seen.
Gideon: We are looking forward to the mind games because they are interesting and I’m sure the 3 weeks you spent studying psychology will give you many insights into our personality.
Neil: I’ll make it easy for you. I’m an asshole and I hate mimes.
Gideon: And I’m almost certain Neil has a temper and doesn’t play well with others. As for myself it is largely the same as Neil except I have a lot more class when being an asshole. See how easy it is. We told you what our personality is. Now the question is what can you do about our wrestling style?
Neil: Gideon studied your style and he told me the flaws he used against you. When I studied the tapes I saw a couple things he missed in your style that even Finale was able to capitalize on.
Gideon: Between Neil and I we can dissect your style and get in your mind. We can learn to read your body language. We can predict what you will try and what you will do if we fake a move. We could telegraph a clothesline knowing you would duck it then when you duck it we connect with a Russian legsweep. Then count in the fact that Neil and I know what each other is thinking.
::Neil holds up the glass of V8.::
Neil: And I haven’t had anything to drink in over a week. Now to talk about the clown coming with the mime to the ring. Solid wrestler but average. You use a lot of DDTs and brawl. You throw a punch and Gideon or I trap the arm and take you down with a Painkiller.
Gideon: We may not get the first punch but we will get the second. We will work the arm and break you down. There are over 50 armdrags and over twice that many armbars. You can’t rely on the brawling so that will leave you with wrestling. Half your strategy down the proverbial crapper before the match even begins so that places you in a very bad spot.
Neil: Armdrag followed by a keylock, Dbl leg takedown and a cross armbreaker, Pumphandle armbar, Crippler Crossface, the Fujiwara armbar ripping on the shoulder, and the Painkiller that we use often and even have gotten titles with.
Gideon: You gentlemen are in for a very long night. We will have Adams memorized and Mendez neutralized. Now we are done here as the saying goes "bugger off ya bloody wanker".
