-after the Rowan vs God compound match-
“This….is Angel Blake.”
We open up in a hospital room in the middle of the night. Two nurses stand on opposite sides of the bed. One looks like she’s showing the other around. They definitely got to the more interesting part of the tour. There on the bed between them was Angel Blake. He was hooked up to the equipment that stood around him. He was sleeping. But even while he was out, his face looked much more human. It even showed hints of fear.
“Creepy right?”
The first nurse asked the new girl. The new girl slowly rose her head up and down. She half expected him to rise up and grab her.
“He’s the one who thought he was God? Did all those terrible things?”
The new girl practically whispered through a nervous palm over her mouth. Fearful that a loud noise would wake him up.
“He has been comatose since he got here. He just lays there. Freaks me out. Once he’s healthy enough, if that ever happens, they are shipping him to a psych ward.”
The nurse does a quick, lazy glance at the medical files. Opting to get out of there quick instead a proper job.
“His charts check out. Let’s get the heck out of here.”
Both nurses nod and they scurry out of the room and shut the door behind them. Revealing Jayson Matthews had been standing behind it the whole time. Jayson looks around himself, impressed that the trick he learned from Caleb Lockwood actually worked. He smiles and nods at how cool it was but then shakes it off and gets serious when he sees Angel lying there.
As Jayson slowly approached, he could see all the wires running to him from machines and vice versa. He could hear the heart monitor beeping slowly. The breathing machines compressing air every so often. The IV drips from the bag to the tube.
His body was quiet and feeble. It was almost a shock to see him like this. This was the man that tormented him. A man who once was God, so strong and powerful, now looked so old and weak. His body seemed smaller now. Very frail. Like it could be broken with ease.
Jayson Matthews: I had to see it with my own eyes.
Not only could he see it, but he could feel it. The aura in the room didn’t feel the same. That sense of dread and doom it was gone. Leaving nothing in its place but a late night hospital room.
Jayson Matthews: They said she ended the war. They said she ended God, but I had to see it to believe it.
Jayson just laughs as he stands at the side of the bed looking down on Blake. The kind of laugh you have when you realize the thing you had been afraid of turns out to be nothing after all.
Jayson Matthews: Now here you are. Hooked up to machines keeping you alive. The war really is over. You have been destroyed.”
He laughed again. A smile of relief flooded onto his face.
Jayson Matthews: We won. You lost.
He almost felt sorry for Angel in his current state. That was just the good person inside him. Deeper down, he knew the man in that bed didn’t deserve his sympathy.
Jayson Matthews: They say Rowan killed God. They say it left the man Angel Blake in its wake. I don’t care who you are. God? Angel Blake? Garbage? Either way. You got what you deserved. And from the looks of these machines, it looks like it won’t be long until nature finishes the job.
Jayson leans in slowly and gets in Blake’s face.
Jayson Matthews: Now, you are nothing to me.
And with that Jayson confidently walks out of the room. As he enters the hall a voice from further down yells.
“Hey! You can’t be in here!
Jayson stops for a minute and then it suddenly dawns on him.
Jayson Matthews: Ohhhh that’s right I snuck in here.
Jayson takes off running down the hall as the scene fades.
——
-after Sacrifice-
Jayson Matthews: This is a travesty, Warren. This is completely unjust. I can’t believe this has happened.
The scene opens up to find Jayson Matthews pacing back and forth. Warren Kane stands slightly behind watching him go back and forth.
Jayson Matthews: I’d be willing to debate the best tag team all day. I get it was a broad claim, but I got carried away on the hype train, you know how I get. I can even give credit where credit is due, they totally did win that trophy like six years ago, they beat some good names, they definitely have a right to claim there the best but seriously….
As he sniffs, he gets a little emotional and has to fight to calm himself.
Jayson Matthews: ...what they did to that sandwich was completely unacceptable.
Jayson stops to reveal the image on his shirt. A picture of the Sandwich. On the top it read “RIP Sandwich” and on the bottom it had “2018-2018”.
Warren Kane: You’re still going on about the sandwich? The saints are calling us out over being the best tag team and you are still going on about the Sandwich?
Jayson Matthews: They spiked it on the ground, Warren. It didn’t even get a chance to be a sandwich! It didn’t get a chance to be enjoyed. It barely even got to exist! It could have been more than just a sandwich. You know, some wrestlers had a thing. The bulldog, the snake, the parrot. That sandwich could have been our mascot, dude! I had t-shirt guys on stand by.”
Warren stands by trying to hide the terrified look on his face.
Warren Kane: I really need to stop letting you make marketing decisions….
Jayson Matthews: But they ruined it. They splattered what was clearly going to be a million dollar idea right into the ground. I’m not going to stand for it, Warren. If it’s a fight they want? Then let’s give them one! I’m ready for the last Sacrifice of the year to go out with a bang.”
Jayson pounds his fist into his palm as Warren rubs his palms together in anticipation.
Warren Kane: Now that’s more like it. They really want to know who the best is? I guess we will have to show them.
Jayson Matthews: Your damn right we’re going to show them. I plan on avenging that sandwich on Sacrifice this week. I plan on showing those two interchangeable jerk bags a thing or two. They are mean. For a team as good as they are, what’s the point of being such a dick? They just sit on the pre-show panel talking trash about anyone with an actual match, and then sit around another month hoping IWF would finally make a division for them.
Warren Kane: But do you wanna know why the IWF doesn’t make a tag division?
Jayson thinks about it and then answers.
Jayson Matthews: Because The Lost Boys decided not to renew their contracts?
Warren Kane: Close. It’s because The Bourbon Street Saints aren’t interesting enough to build a division around. Best tag team? They should be counting there lucky stars we decided to start teaming up again in the first place. If we didn’t they’d be stuck calling each other hookers and poking fun at Gilmore on twitter all month like they usually do. But now that they decided to challenge us, they are taking on the only tag team joker in the Pack winners in IWF history.
Jayson Matthews: Yeah but…
Jayson quickly interjects and then proceeds to use a mocking voice.
Jayson Matthews: HoW fAr DiD tHaT gEt Us!?!?
Warren doesn’t miss a beat.
Warren Kane: A lot farther than that little trophy did, that’s for sure.
Jayson laughs and nods his head.
Jayson Matthews: I’d say that’s right. Unless you count being pre show divas as a level of success?
They both laugh before getting serious and turning toward the camera.
Jayson Matthews: Saints. All jokes aside. You are a good tag team. Some might even say great. You have beaten some big names and you did win the tag team World Cup tournament. But that’s it. You are just a good tag team. Your only as good as your partner is.
Warren Kane: But Jayson and I, we have been in wars. We have fought in battles and wars that you’ve only chatted about with Tyler Jacobs. We have been taken to limits that we didn’t know we had and we never had the luxury of tagging out to a partner waiting on the apron.
Jayson Matthews: And that’s the true difference that’s coming head to head on Sacrifice. A great tag team versus two great wrestlers that are a team. Which will stand tall in the end? You may have great teamwork, buts it’s still technically just a singles match until you actually get a tag. We are going to outwork you and send you back to the pre-show with a limp.
Warren Kane: And prove that we are without a doubt, the best tag team in IWF.
Jayson Matthews: And avenge my sandwich!
Warren Kane: And…
[/i]Warren glanced at Jayson and smiles. They both nod and look at the camera.[/b]
Jayson and Warren: ...Go bananas all over your face!
They both do the “banana too sweet” (hang loose fist bump) as the scene fades.
