Plexclusive to Paramount +
Hey-hey, it’s Trey Bouchet! He’s in front of an obviously green screened backdrop of plexpensive looking mahogany stained walls with ornate teak wainscotting. The Hedgehog Underdog is similarly plexcessorized in a tuxedo that given his stubby fireplug physique hangs long in the sleeves. Laced through his fingers is a cord keen observers of wrestling would recognize as a tag rope. Trey seems in good spirits despite still wearing the wounds he received last week; grinning through his stitched up lip. He begins plexpositing.
“I get to choose my partner for this coming match against Devil’s Gate, and I want to make a big production out of it; do my own little tribute to ‘The Bachelor’ while running down the prospective candidates before the full reveal! First though, some plexplanation as to why my choice is even worth discussing.”
An image is edited into the already ‘shopped-in background.
“Any other time I’d ask Johnny and I know he’d plexccept. Champ Mode is the toughest dude in wrestling. Nobody fights harder and for the right reasons. He always has my back, and vice versa. Which is why this time I’m plexcluding him from consideration . Johnny has a huge match in Clash’s Main Event. He and Addy A will have their hands full taking on Lissie and Cass Adler, and he needs to be focusing on that. So, who are the eligible suitors for this proposal?”
JBac’s picture is replaced with one of another AW superstar.
“Sam Kidsgrove’s a Certified GG-Good Guy- with Hall of Fame Credentials. He’s beaten both Kancer and Der Metzger in the past. I know he’s my Mom’s choice to be my partner, and about this at least she wouldn’t be wrong.”
Transition.
“Spencer Adams has plexcelled in every division he’s been in, especially Tag, where he’s been champion four times. Completely fearless when it comes to taking on all challengers, Rushmore is also a proven monster slayer, beating men much bigger than himself like Mathias Mintzel and Odin Balfore.”
Plext image.
“Y’all remember Eden Nova? She was cool.”
Transition!
“Hippo Harry Diedrot is legit one of my heroes. He represents this Sport and the Culture in plexemplary fashion. It would be an honor to share a corner with him. He’s got the size and the chops to stand up to anything Devil’s Gate could throw at us Monday Night.”
Another image appears.
“He’s Big Match John. ‘Nuff said.”
Blade’s picture fades and is replaced by a stock photo of a silhouette with a question mark superimposed over it.
“Any one of these wrestlers would be a plexcellent choice to help me fight Tristan and Todd. They are people’s whose attitudes and abilities I respect. But they aren’t who I am calling on for this coming Clash. Who is? Drumroll, s'il vous su-plaît.”
“Devil’s Gate is full of goons. Absolute beasts. I need someone who’s just as beastly; who can take the fight to them. That’s Cee! Vee! Oh! Since coming to AW she’s been tested like no one else has, and while maybe she hasn’t been winning, she sure isn’t failing.”
“Catherine Van Owen’s got talent, and desire, and though she’s a bit rough around the edges I think she’s got a good heart. The way she stands by her friend Paul Mall when others might dismiss him as a goofy side show act, well, that speaks to me.”
“None of those are the main reason though. I’m picking CVO because after the result of her last match she’s got to be hangry. Angry that the chance to become Action Wrestling Television Champion slipped through her fingers, and hungry to get back in the ring and put that loss behind her. Again, I can relate. In my first title match, back on Cruiser Clash, I cost my team the A Show’s tag belts when I got, er, a little over plexcited and eliminated my own partner from a Championship Battle Royal. It was super embarrassing and afterwards I wanted nothing else but to compete again; to try and get everyone to forget that botch and to keep moving forward.”
“I’m guessing that Cat feels the same way right now.”
“Currently, CVOs not booked for Monday. Taking my offer would change that. I’m betting it’s a good incentive for her to help out a stranger against a team that’s dangerous on it’s own but will almost certainly come with backup. I fully plexpect Dwade and Kuraim to get involved like before, maybe not so much to hurt me this time, since it’s clear Todd wants our match at Plexecution as much as I do, but to hurt the person standing by me; just to send a message.”
“It’s what bullies like Devil’s Gate do.”
“And, yeah, admitting that possibility might have just cost me CVO’s help, but it’s only right for me to be upfront about what could happen. There’s going to be a real risk to whoever wants to be in my corner at Clash. I’m counting on her to be tough enough, charitable enough, and crazy enough to take that risk.”
Trey holds up the tag rope in one hand..
“How about it, Cat? Back before you fought Claire Hawkins you said you wanted to make ADub a better place. One way of doing that can be taking on fights you got no real stake in.”
He plextends his empty hand towards the camera.
“I’m asking for your help.”
The symbolism in the disuplay is obvious.
Cut.
