(OOC: Sorry everyone for not posting much in the match, I just started my new job so didn’t have any time to write anything)
Toni Cruise: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here tonight with the Dutch Destroyer Tommy End. Tommy, what went wrong for you tonight against Dyno?
Tommy End: Well, Toni, I didn’t have as much scouting on Dyno as I thought I did beforehand. It seems like he learned some new tricks from wherever he picked up that mask. I’m not the type to make excuses though. Dyno beat me fair and square, and I’m rooting for him when he takes Mack Caliber on.
Toni Cruise: At least you’re still one half of the tag team champions though. Speaking of those tag titles, who do you see challenging the Ronin next?
Tommy End: I think the answer lies in the 6 man tag on Super Glory. If team JWA come out on top, I think Chesterton and Pierre deserve the shot. However, if the Apocalypse win, I think Penguino and Buffalo deserve a rematch. Remember, they weren’t pinned in the tag title triple threat.
Toni Cruise: I’m sure that will be taken into consideration after the match. Last question, Tommy. What’s next for you, other than the tag team titles?
Tommy End: My eye is squarely where it’s always been. The top of the pinnacle. The JWA Championship. Not many in this business know the feeling of lifting the top prize, but all those who do know the burning desire to take it back after they lose it.
Toni Cruise: Well those were all the questions I had for you, Tommy. Thank you for your time.

As Toni steps away from Tommy, Arizona walks up. “I know you’re not one for rah-rah, pick me up speeches, but given everything we went through this past week, that was a hell of a showing. Next time you won’t have to go halfway around the world the day before a #1 contenders match.
I’m headed out of town— looks like two weeks before I have to be back and at least three for you. I’m gonna take a family vacation. You do you. But when we both get back— well, you know as well as I do that nobody defends the gold like the Ronin. See you soon, partner.”

Stanley goes up to Tommy after Arizona finished his pep talk. "It must be tough if your not use to losing. Let's train and get you back to winning. And also to prove 'master' wrong. Take a deep breath, and we'll start with basic Hamon breathing techniques."
"And chear up. Once you hit bottom, up is the only direction to go."

Stay right there. *Tommy returns a few moments later with a long and thin box.* Tommy End: I was going to give this to you on your birthday, but since I was busy then I figured now would be the best moment. Every ronin needs one of these. *Tommy opens the box to reveal a katana inside. The katana has a gold hilt, and there’s a tiny fedora on the end.* Tommy End: I had my blacksmith make this custom piece. What do you think? |

OOC: This made the guy behind Arizona smile. 😊 “I’m… honored. Thank you. It’s absolutely beautiful, and one of the most thoughtful things I’ve ever been given. It’s going to be displayed prominently on my championship wall. Speaking of which, it’ll be up soon, since I’m headed home now. No Killies tonight— just some family time. See you in a couple weeks.” Arizona headed to the parking lot, hopped in his Italian sports car, and began to drive back to the Sedona desert. What to do on a staycation? We could check out the ancient Hopi sites locally, since that’s just a day trip… nah, Maddie is getting to the age where heading out is more trouble than it’s worth. Glad I’ve got the home gym. Maybe I can host a couple of dinner parties at the house? Red has been. Tommy knows the way. Stan was also just here, even though he wasn’t inside. Mack also knows… but we just had my birthday party. Arizona’s cell rings and he picks up. “Hey Ronnie, what’s up?” “I saw you were on your way home thanks to the Phone Finder app. I also know you— you don’t have to do ANYTHING while you’re home. Just be present and stop thinking about wrestling and your career for a while. See you when you get back.” |

JWA.COM EXCLUSIVE
CONOR CAINE RESPONDS TO SEPH KOBANE
EXCLUSIVE BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE FROM LAST NIGHT'S GLORY
Toni Cruise is outside the mens dressing room, there seems to be a little commotion inside. She nods towards the camera.
TONI: Ready?
Toni pushes open the door of the dressing room and against the back wall we can see Conor Caine sitting on a folding chair as a medic checks him over. Toni makes her way towards Caine and the camera follows; as we get closer we can see Conor's nose and eyes are slightly swollen from Seph's headbutt, and his has cuts and grazes from the kicks he received - there's a particularly nasty cut over his left eyebrow that's dripping blood.
TONI: Conor, how do you feel after your assault at the hands of Seph Kobane? Have you had an opportunity to see his message to you?
CAINE: I saw it.
Conor addresses the camera as the medic starts to work on the gash over his brow. The camera zooms closer on his face...
CAINE: I heard what you said, Seph: 'It's me... I'm still here...' Well, you'll have to forgive my confusion, "Truth", because last week I couldn't tell if you were coming or going the way you jack-rabbited in and out of the ring all night. But you're here now? Okay, good. I'm glad. I see you now, Seph Kobane.
CAINE: I'm not sorry if you're offended that I wanted to move on to my next opponent - towards the JWA Championship - rather than go right back to wrestling you, because I won't apologise for going after what I feel I deserve. But I do take responsibility for what happened here tonight... for what you did to me.
Caine winces and side-eyes the medic angrily as they apply alcohol to the gash over his eye. He returns to camera...
CAINE: You see, I turned my attention to the gold and you blindsided me. That's on me. But I see you now, Seph Kobane. Now, you have my undivided attention. You're right, Truth: it is you. You're next.
The medic dabs alcohol on Caine's wound again and he snaps and pushes them away, rising up out of his chair. The camera moves back and Toni is back in frame as the medics flee.
CAINE: Get the hell out of here!
Caine takes the mic off Toni and addresses the camera, which zooms in again. Blood is running down the side of his face, but he doesn't seem to notice.
CAINE: You can study all the tapes of my matches that you want, Seph. You can even watch my childhood tapes if it makes you think you know me! But guess what: You don't have a clue who I am or what I'm capable of! You think I was relentless with you last week? You think that was all I had? Brother, I was holding back! But not next week. Next week at Super Glory I'm going to lace my boots up for real, and it's going to be time to put leather to hide like you won't see in any of my old matches!
CAINE: So bring your new buddy down to ringside with you, and tell Ol' Bad Luck to bring a camcorder with him because it's time to take your sorry ass to school! The lesson? Don't *BEEP* with The Relentless One.
Caine stares venomously into the camera as it fades to black and the JWA logo appears. |

This is 10% luck, 20% skill...
The latest JWA advert is both a retrospective and a glimpse into the future as we see quick shots of JWA main events over the last year + as well as spending time highlighting some of the newest JWA signees. But it all ends with a focus on JWA champion Mack Calliber then, from the shadows, his next challenger Dyno is shown along with the words...
"JWA...just when you think you have the answers, they change the questions! Live every Tuesday (insert local times here)"

“Leave a message and as always, I’m at your command.”
Hey Red, good luck in a couple days. You won’t disappoint.
I won’t either. But a counterpoint—
I know Buffalo real well. You know Dyno.
Let’s talk turkey over a drink. I know we ain’t winos
But all the same, let’s share some insight.
What do you say to getting together tomorrow night?
I hang up and hope to hear back. I’m gonna need every advantage I can against Dyno. Nobody I respect more with the way they handle themselves in the ring.

“Aaaand… send.” Arizona finished sending the file to Kip for play during Super Glory.
“Zona, are you OK? You’re taking an awful long time in there. Do I need to get you some fiber or something?” Veronica sounded genuinely concerned.
“No, babe. Just finishing up.” Arizona turned on the water in the restroom as he closed his laptop.
“Were you sending a promo to Kip for Super Glory about Penguino?”
Damn, she knows me so well. “Coming, babe. Focused solely on you and Maddie!”

It's late at night and three men stumble outside through Killie's doors. They're goofing around, laughing, having fun. What started as one last strategy meeting before Super Glory quickly turned into a night out with good drinks, great music and even better friends. Rogers and Pierre say their goodbyes, leaving Chesterton on his own.
Shredsbury isn't heading home yet. He just got a notification from his favorite app. The waves are supposed to be great tonight and no matter the hour, he cannot resist the ocean's call. Chesterton heads to the beach and retrieves the board he stashed under the boardwalk. He walks into the surf and places his board down... only for it to sink like a brick. Chester is shocked. He holds the board up in the moonlight and sees dozens of puncture marks. The look like they were made by something sharps, like a knife, or a screwdriver, or a... beak?
Cut to...
Rogers thanks the cabbie and closes the door. It's a pleasant night and he will walk the last few blocks. He turns right on the intersection and sees his humble abode at the end of the road. As he gets closer he notices that his front door is open. Rogers starts running. As he gets closer he notices that the door has been rammed in. The fearless Red Pirate wastes no time and rushes in to confront the intruder, but he is too late. Whoever did this is long gone. There are holes in his walls, his prized possesions have been smashed and his furniture has been reduced to nothing but splinters and dust. It looks like a storm has gone through this house, or maybe a wild animal...
Cut to...
Pierre is pouring himself one last beer before going to bed, but his attention is with his phone. Chesterton and Rogers have been sending him messages non-stop for the last 15-20 minutes. He tries to open them, but it is hard to operate the device. Unfortunately they don't make smartphones especially for giants. As he struggles to input his passcode he absent mindedly takes a sip of his beverage... and spits it right back out. This isn't beer! A red, viscous liquid drips from Pierre's mouth. He holds up his glass only to see that it is filled with blood.
Cut to...
All three men suddenly hear an ominous voice coming from their phones:
... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH... THE END IS NIGH...
(OOC: I don't know if we ever decided on where we are located, but it's an oceanside city now)
