As CruiserClash opens, the usual flare is missing: no pyro, no welcome from the announcers, just confusion. Remy Nouveau is already in the ring with a mic in hand and he’s yelling up the ramp and toward the backstage area.
Remy Nouveau: I’m calling you out, Bryan Blaze! Get your ass out here NOW!
Jimmy Garcia: We’re sorry for the abruptness in tonight’s opening events!
Lexi Stone: Yeah, this is unusual.
Jimmy Garcia: Usually, the arena audience gets a countdown to going live and the pyro goes off and everything is all about the spectacle, but that…that did not happen here tonight!
Lexi Stone: Yeah. Just as our staff was kicking off the countdown, Remy Nouveau stormed down to the ring, and well… um, well you’re caught up to the events you’re seeing before you right now!
Remy’s frustration in the ring grows as his call out goes unanswered.
Remy Nouveau: Maybe you didn’t hear me, you paper champion, but Remy Nouveau is standing here in the middle of this ring calling you out! If you aren’t a coward with a yellow streak running down his spine and the inside of his leg, you need to come handle the time bomb you activated last week when you sent your bitch boy, Harper, to do your dirty work!
Jimmy Garcia: Woah! Those are STRONG words from the newcomer!
Lexi Stone: I don’t think Nouveau is worrying too much about rocking the boat here in his first month of time in Action Wrestling! First he picks a battle with the CruiserClash GM and now, he’s picking one with the THREE TIME CHAMPION?!
Jimmy Garcia: He’s either confident beyond his ability or Bryan Blaze better have a plan of attack!
As the opening siren to “Indestructible ” begins to play through the PA system, the lights dim and right/blue spotlights circle around the stage. The crowd erupts in boos for the champion as it appears we will FINALLY see him respond to the call out of Remy Nouveau!
As the first verse is sung, someone enters from behind the curtain, and the crowd’s intense booing gets even more intense.
Jimmy Garcia: OH COME ON!
Lexi Stone: IT’S HARPER! WHERE’S BRYAN BLAZE?!
Cousin Harper lifts the mic to speak and the crowd continues to erupt with negative energy.
Cousin Harper: You think YOU deserve the time and attention of the CruiserGreat?! You think YOU are worth even an ounce of his energy and effort tonight? HA! COME ON, NOUVEAU! Are you high, YA HOSER?! I mean you must have gotten into our stash of Canadian beer last week and are experiencing a LONG hang over at least, right, THERE BUD?
Jimmy Garcia: Nouveau is new, sure, but he’s CLEARLY a worthy challenger to Blaze’s throne! Why is Harper saying this stuff?! It’s absurd!
Remy Nouveau: So Blaze isn’t coming, huh? I come out here to challenge that coward to a one on one match next week and he doesn’t have the balls to even show his face? He sends his fucking errand boy instead?!
Harper rolls his eyes.
Remy Nouveau: Harper, I’m fighting somebody next week. That bastard is gonna be the type of man that bleeds maple syrup, too. So if it isn’t gonna be Blaze, I guess it’ll have to be you…
Lexi Stone: WHAT?! Does Remy have the power to just make his own matches?!
Jimmy Garcia: I…I don’t think so, Lexi…?
Harper dismissively laughs but doesn’t accept the challenge.
Cousin Harper: I don’t even meet the weight requirements to fight on this show, Remy, aye!? I'm BIG Harper not LIGHTWEIGHT TIMMY HORTONS, BUD!
Remy Nouveau: Ah, I see. I was right before, huh? You’re just a little BITCH BOY, Harper!
The crowd starts to chant: BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER! BITCH BOY HAR-PER!
Harper becomes agitated and then full on enraged.
Cousin Harper: IF YOU WANT ME TO DESTROY YOU SO BADLY, WHO AM I TO SAY NO?! NEXT WEEK, REMY, YOUR WHOLE CAREER GETS SNUFFED OUT IN ITS INFANCY!
Lexi Stone: I still don’t know how official this is, Jimmy!
Jimmy Garcia: Well, as long as I’ve been a part of this show, I’ve never known Joey Bunga to allow a rule or anything really to get in the way of tense, compelling action! I think he’s going to book this one, Lexi!
Remy stares Harper down with a satisfied glare as we fade off to commercial.
