Inside the UWA main headquarters, Connor Murphy and Gabriel Krown, Sang Réal, the UWA Tag Team Champions, have met with the legal department after having issued their open challenge for the Supershow. The two are looking over a contract outside the legal department.
As always, the two are dressed in suits and ties. Both men have their title belt around their waist under their open suit jackets. Murphy is noticeably not wearing his sunglasses, which sit in his jacket pocket.
The two finish looking over the contract. Murphy looks up, raising the contract like it was a title.
Murphy: “This is it ladies and gentlemen, the contract to face us at the UWA Supershow, which states that if our opponents can beat us they will earn a shot at the UWA Tag Team Championships.”
He lowers the contract.
Krown: “Now we should clarify one little caveat to that stipulation, just a minor thing really, very minor in fact, but that is our opponents must beat us by a pinfall or submission. It doesn’t count if it is a count out or a disqualification, because you cannot win a title by count out or a disqualification, so why should either of those earn someone a title shot? It shouldn’t. So it will not count if they frame us for hitting them with a chair or whatever. It will only count with a pinfall or submission.”
Murphy: “We admit that one could call us out on that declaration, but the UWA Tag Team Championship should belong to the best team in the UWA, not just some flavor of the month. If we are to lose these titles, we would like to lose them to a team that we know can defend them, not just two random people paired together because they live in the town the match is happening who will lose the titles on their first defense.”
Krown: “These titles really do need attention. The entire tag team division needs attention. I mean there are only so many times we can face the Cornbread Mafia and try to recapture the magic of a year ago, which seems to be the only way the UWA knows how to get anyone paying attention to the tag team division here.”
Murphy: “Now, we should point out that this match will be contested under the usual rules, so whoever takes the chance cannot just get a bunch of guys to beat us down with chairs or assault us or whatever and then pin us.”
Krown: “It should also be noted that we are not stupid enough to get jumped and attacked by a couple of guys we have to wrestle and then attempt to heroically fight an uphill battle despite the odds. People can call that cowardly or whatever, but I am pretty sure we don’t care.”
Murphy: “To be honest, we know already know how this is going to go down.”
Krown nods in agreement.
Krown: “We do. We really do. We don’t want to, but we do. It’s not that we don’t want it to go down the way we think it will, but we are hoping it goes down the way we do not think it would go.”
Murphy: “We know we will walk out at the Supershow with this contract in hand, and we will lay it right down on the apron and we know that someone in the back will shove the Cornbread Mafia out to sign it and face us in a match, because they are the only other tag team in the UWA, and every time the UWA needs to remind people there’s a tag team division, they throw the Cornbread Mafia and Sang Réal against each other, except last year, when two guys from Las Vegas and the Mafia were clearly a better choice to usher in the titles in a match pulled out of someone’s ass and with no hype or build up to it.”
Krown: “It is kind of funny, when you think of all the great rivalries in the UWA history like Arsenal and Aerynn Donnelly and Broderick Montgomery III versus the Children of Nephilim, Vince Jones versus Ashley Kenyon, and the Cornbread Mafia versus Sang Réal, the only one still going is the Cornbread Mafia versus Sang Réal. All those other rivalries seem to be pretty much over, but you can see every so often that the Cornbread Mafia versus Sang Réal gets trucked out again to fulfill a need for a tag team match.”
Murphy: “We are hoping, however, that the Cornbread Mafia either misses their flights or are too drunk to attend and someone else can take the match, but we’re probably getting the Cornbread Mafia.”
Krown: “We debated just having the contract sent to the Cornbread Mafia to save us time and get the disappointment over with, but we decided to be strangely optimistic and hope someone else shows up to take the opportunity, but it’ll probably be the Mafia, because we and they are the only two tag teams in the UWA, and a go to match.”
Murphy: “One year ago, Sang Réal and the Cornbread Mafia made the UWA tag team division in an epic rivalry. We did everything we could legally do to each other in the ring. It was far worthier of the Feud of the Year award than whoever actually won. And the steel cage match should have been nominated for Match of the Year, never mind should have won the award.”
Looking confused for a moment, Krown holds his hand up, then lowers it, then holds it up again and lowers it again before he holds it up again, shaking his finger a bit.
Krown: “Who did win?”
Murphy shrugs.
Murphy: “No idea.”
Krown: “Me neither. I am not sure if the winners were even announced.”
Murphy: “I don’t think they were.”
Krown: “Why would you make that something you would do if you do an End of the Year awards if you had no intention to announcing the winners of those End of the Year Awards? It makes no sense.”
Murphy: “Yeah, really.”
Krown: “Huh.”
Krown seems confused for a moment still, then shrugs.
Murphy: “When you get right down to it, it has been a year since we gave attention to the UWA tag team division and since then, all that happened was the UWA created titles and forgot about them. We have held these titles for months and really it seems the UWA has forgotten these titles exist. Or at the very least, they forgot to actually get teams.”
Krown: “Bene Elohim is too busy doing whatever Danika tells them to do to worry about their careers. The Silver City Knights seem to have been reduced to just Craven, as Silver Baron I think is still owned by Vince Jones and Satan wants to flay him and I think Freeman is dead again, and the Kenyons just don’t seem to want to be a team anymore. Dark Camelot disappeared again, and I really don’t know what happened to the Rising Sun Dynasty, I think they committed seppukuor something. The Five has yet to debut officially. So that leaves us and the Cornbread Mafia. Honestly, even if we lose the match and then lose the titles, we’re going to get them back, because there are only two real teams in the UWA. Seriously UWA, get more teams. Make up teams if you have to, just don’t give them title shots right off the bat. I don’t see anyone else getting a title shot as soon as they debut. I’m just saying.”
Murphy: “We have beaten every team here. There’s no one left. And yet, even then, there are only two teams here. This is a chance to show the world what you can do. This is your chance to beat the UWA Tag Team Champions, earn a title shot and possibly become champions.”
Krown: “Now, we will admit that it may be somewhat hypocritical that we are here, offering anyone a shot at a championship if they can beat us and we have often complained about Quentin Sharpe just walking in and getting a title shot. There is a difference however. Sharpe walked off the street, had like one match and was suddenly thrust into a Tag Team Championship match with Silver Baron, who he had never teamed with. It bothered us for that reason, because they had never tag teamed before and yet, somehow, they were getting a title shot over more eligible teams, or even over another Sang Réal and Cornbread Mafia match. Considering what we did to each other week after week and in a cage, what we would have done in a title match would have been crazy. If it had been Silver Baron and Fraser Freeman, then we probably would not have complained as that is the actual Sin City Knights, not Silver Baron and whoever is in the room at the moment. But the Knights, like every other tag team here, seem to be finished done. It’s only the Cornbread Mafia and Sang Réal left.”
Murphy: “When you win a title, you want to defend the title. Maybe not every night, but you know you need to defend it. The UWA Tag Team Championships are the least defend title in the UWA. They are the least prestigious titles here, the least coveted, the least desired. Part of that can be blamed on the people who hold the titles as Baron and Sharpe never deserved them, yet acted like the greatest team ever, and K.I.S.S. stopped being a team as soon as they won them and only remembered the were UWA Tag Team Champions when they discovered the belts while putting away Christmas decorations and thought that it might be a lark if they finally defended them after two hundred days of using the titles to just tie the living room décor together. We stayed a team, we competed, we begged for challengers. And that places the blame entirely on the UWA management who clearly does not care about tag teams, these titles or the division.”
Opening his jacket slightly, Krown exposes the UWA Tag Team Championship around his waist.
Krown: “If we wanted meaningless status symbols, we’d do something like join the Sin City Knights and get the official club ring, good for one free lap dance at the Pleasure Dome. We would NOT have dedicated our lives and our careers to becoming UWA Tag Team Champions if we had known they’d just be a meaningless status symbol we defend only once a year.”
Krown closes his jacket
Murphy: “Now, after our first video aired, we saw hashtag Give Tag Teams a Chance appear on Twitter. We doubt UWA management will actually listen to that, but we are listening. And that is why we are doing this. This is a shot to any team that wants it. This is a shot at any two wrestlers that think they can form a tag team and beat us. This contract is first come, first serve.”
Krown: “We would recommend getting to the ring early, but we are honestly not sure if anyone is going to sign up.”
Murphy takes a pen out of his pocket and signs the contract.
Murphy: “This is a legal contract. Sign it, step into the ring, beat us and you name the time and the place you want to take your title shot.”
He then hands it over to Krown who takes it, looks it over one more time, then takes the pen and signs it. He hands the pen and contract back to Murphy.
Krown: “We should point out that we do not mean you get a title shot whenever and wherever you want to take it. It’s not an attaché case. It’s a contract and we require a fixed date like some sort of pay-per-view or a Monday Night Mayhem. We mean if you beat us, you tell us when you want the title shot and we will show up. Again, we are not stupid to give someone a free shot to take our titles when we are vulnerable or something like that. Although, we will accept immediately after the match, but probably not the best time to select as we’d both be spent. We’re trying to bring some prestige to the title. We can’t imagine it would help the title if anyone could just walk up and take it whenever they want. These are Tag Team Championships, not some sort of Hardcore Championship. Giving someone a title shot whenever and wherever they want seems crazy. I mean why would you make that a thing you would do? We wouldn't and we are not.”
Murphy holds up the contract again.
Murphy: “So who wants to step up? Who wants to see if they can beat the UWA Tag Team Champion ands earn a title shot? All you have to do is sign on the dotted line. It is that simple.”
Krown: “We should point out that showing up alone will not make you eligible for a tag team title shot if you manage to beat us unless you find a partner. These are the UWA Tag Team Championship, not the UWA Handicap Championship, which would a really weird title.”
Murphy: “When we won these titles, we wanted to see a new era of the UWA Tag Team Division. That did not happen. Management didn’t seem to want it. We did. We still do. So now we are taking matters into our own hands and we will see if we cannot spark the new age we want to see.”
Krown: “Hashtag Give Tag Teams a Chance. This is the chance. This is the opportunity, so someone take it. We have signed it. We are going to deliver it to the UWA Supershow. Who wants to sign to receive it?”
Murphy lowers the contract, looking at it.
Murphy: “Step up and sign the contract. Beat Sang Réal, the UWA Tag Team Champions, and the most dominant team in the UAW right now, and earn yourself a title shot. This could very well be your shot at immortality if you have the guts to take it. The only question is, will you take it? Who thinks they have what it takes? That’s Murphy’s Law.”
Krown: “Who thinks they can become champions? Who thinks they can beat us? Who wants to sign? That’s all you have to do. Of course, it is easier said then done. That’s Checkmate.”
Murphy: “We are Sang Réal.”
Krown: “And we are the UWA Tag Team Champions.”
Taking his sunglasses out of his jacket and slipping them on, and then tucking the contract under his arm, Murphy turns and walks away. Krown holds his jacket open again to expose the title around his waist and then releases, letting his jacket close before he turns and walks down the hall. The scene fades to black.
As always, the two are dressed in suits and ties. Both men have their title belt around their waist under their open suit jackets. Murphy is noticeably not wearing his sunglasses, which sit in his jacket pocket.

Krown: “It should also be noted that we are not stupid enough to get jumped and attacked by a couple of guys we have to wrestle and then attempt to heroically fight an uphill battle despite the odds. People can call that cowardly or whatever, but I am pretty sure we don’t care.”
Murphy: “To be honest, we know already know how this is going to go down.”
