The second episode of UWA Monday Night Mayhem has concluded. The fans have left and the ring crew and production team are busy taking apart the set. The members of the UWA roster are getting ready to leave for a short break before heading to Reno, Nevada and the Tragic Engagement pay-per-view, where the first UWA World Champion will be crowned.
It is outside the locker room area where UWA backstage reporter Stephanie Miller stands, waiting to interview talent. Although she seems more interested in her cellphone then she is at doing her job. Judging by the sounds of her phone, she is playing Angry Birds.
One of the doors back there opens and two wrestlers walk out. Both of them are wearing suits and have a travel bag with them. It is safe to say that the UWA debut of Sang Réal, the tag team of second generation wrestlers Connor Murphy and Gabriel Krown did not go as well as they had hoped it would, as they had hoped to win. Neither man seems to be a great mood as they leave.
It takes a moment after they pass by for Stephanie Miller to look up from her phone and a suggestion from her cameraman that she may want to interview Sang Réal for her to put away and sighs, sounding a bit frustrated and walks over to the two second generation wrestlers, who in turn stop and turn to face her.
Sarah: “So, Sang Réal, you guys lost to K.I.S.S. tonight. What gives?”
Murphy: “What happened tonight will not happen at Tragic Engagement. No. Tonight was a fluke. K.I.S.S. got lucky. That is all there is to it.”
Krown: “It had nothing to do with them being a “better team”, or a “lack of communication” or being “unprepared” or “underestimating our opponents” or “not showing them proper respect” or “having ring rust because our last televised professional match was some time in September and we have mostly done a show here or there before coming to UWA” or their “being better than we are” or “wanting it more”.”
Krown actually did make air quotes for the things he said may have contributed to their loss, which he denies. Murphy just shakes his head as his tag team partner speaks.
Murphy: “This was just a set back, nothing more. We are still better bred than any team or wrestler in this company. We are still going to be UWA Tag Team Champions. K.I.S.S. got lucky tonight and that is all it was, luck.”
Krown: “We can beat K.I.S.S. Okay, so maybe it didn’t happen for us this time, but there will be a next time, more than likely, and we will beat them then. Right now, UWA is working on the World Champion thing, and I guess they are going to follow with the North American Championship, but eventually they will have Tag Team Champions and that will be us.”
Murphy: “We came here to win those titles and that is exactly what we are going to do. Soon, UWA will start thinking about its tag team division and our time will come.”
Sarah: “What about the Television Championship?”
Krown: “Why on Earth would the UWA have a Television Championship? Company doesn’t have a television show. How can you have a Television Championship and not have a television show? That’s just crazy talk.”
Murphy: “We do not care about any other championships in UWA as of this moment. Our goal is the Tag Team Championships. Tonight was a just a minor setback, nothing else. So you and everyone else out there can stop trying to read into it. UWA wants another title, then make a women’s division and keep them from wrestling the men. That’s the way it should be.”
Krown: “That’s how my daddy did it, and that’s how his daddy watched in on television when women’s wrestling became a thing.”
The youngest member of the Murphy wrestling family sounds a bit upset as he speaks. It may be due to the loss or it may be due to the way he was raised, or something else, it is hard to say.
Murphy: “See, I think that it is adorable that they want to try and compete in a man’s sport against men, but sooner or later, and considering we have a guy like Kyle Travis on the roster it is probably going to be sooner, one of them is going to step into the ring and something is going to happen and one of them gets hurt. Then whatever anti-something group watching is going to get all upset because some big strong guy, again, we have Kyle Travis on the roster, threw one of the women into the stairs or off the stage or set her on fire or something, or whatever act of violence in a contact sport gets them all pissed off, and we are never going to hear the end of it from said group or sponsors or whatever network UWA lands on.”
Sarah seems to have just sort of zoned out at this point, letting Murphy and Krown talk. While she appears to be paying attention, she is mostly just nodding like one does when they just really do not care about what is being said and hope their agreement just ends it faster.
The technical half of the second generation tag team known as Sang Réal sounds a bit exasperbated.
Krown: “It is going to be that whole thing with that set of two wrestling figures with the doll head all over again. Don’t bother trying to look up an explanation or any details about the people involved or why one has a head with “Help Me” written on it, because clearly what happened is that during the course of a match, these two men stopped their battle to decapitate a woman and she managed to write “Help Me” backwards across her forehead with her last action, despite the aforementioned decapitation. Clearly that is the event depicted in this set.”
Krown just shakes his head.
Murphy: “If UWA was smart, they’d make a women’s division and put all the women there before someone, and I am not naming names…”
Krown: “I have $20 on it being Kyle Travis who does it. I’m just saying.”
Murphy: “Anyway, before someone injures one of the women and UWA loses sponsors or its network or whatever. And no, before you say anything, this has nothing to do with our loss. We are still going to be the best tag team in UWA and the future Tag Team Champions. That’s Murphy’s Law.”
Krown: “Next time we face K.I.S.S. if UWA doesn’t take our advice, we are going to prove we are better. That’s Checkmate.”
Murphy: “We are Sang Réal.”
Krown: “And we were just born better.”
The two second generation wrestlers begin to gather ther bags. Sarah starts to slip her phone out of her pocket. Her cameraman gives her a look.
Sarah: “What?”
Cameraman: “Tragic Engagement? Hello?
Sarah rolls her eyes and sighs.
Sarah: “Fine.”
She slips her phone back into her pocket and when she speaks, she sounds less like a journalist and more like a kid just trying to get through some words without really even caring about them, which some adults will do, with that sort of rushed bored tone.
Sarah: “Sang Réal at Tragic Engagement you two are going to face Shawn and Cameron Worley, the Cornbread Mafia…blah…blah…blah…how do you plan to go into this match and so forth?”
Krown drops his bag and sort of glares at Sarah. Murphy just places his bag down down.
Krown: “Really? There was more to this? We just said the lines. That means the interview was over. We say the lines, the interview is over. That’s how this thing works, otherwise what the hell is the point of having the catchphrase? Why must you mess with the system?”
Krown turns away, running his hands through his hair to calm himself down. He takes a deep breath and manages to settle himself down.
Murphy: “So now it is a battle between royalty and the peasantry. Unlike so many times in history, this little uprising is nothing going have a great outcome for the peasants. There will be no overthrowing the aristocracy. They will not be storming the gates. When we say the peasants are revolting, we are talking about their personality, their upbringing and their hygiene, not that they are rising against us. They may rise, but we will put them down.”
Krown turns back to Sarah, seemingly having calmed down. Sarah, however, doesn’t really seem to be paying attention to what Murphy or Krown are talking about. She is in fact looking at her cuticles.
Krown: “Those two just stumbled into wrestling while we were born into it. If they hadn’t, they’d be just another couple of hicks on whatever piece of crap reality show TLC is showing after having completely sold at as The Learning Channel or A&E, which is no longer about art of entertainment or Discovery Channel in the few hours it forgets why it existed in the first place . They are peasants; petty criminals from some piece of dirt town in a lousy state.”
Murphy: “Look at them, there is no way those two are anything other than brawlers and thugs. I may be the brawling type, but at least when I do it, it is refined. You can see the lifetime of training and dedication. Those two probably learned to fight while trying to decide who takes their sister to the local square dance. Just looking at them, neither strikes me as a technical wizard. I doubt they went to high school, much less even know what GED stands for, and forget about college.”
Krown: “It would not entirely shock me to learn that their parents are brother and sister. If that’s Confederate Pride, no wonder the North won. The South is not going to rise at Tragic Engagement, and even if it does, it’ll be drunk on moonshine, stagger around a bit and then pass out drunk again and then maybe get up to collect welfare and watch Honey Boo Boo.”
Murphy: “As I said, those two just sort of stumbled into wrestling by accident. Our entire lives were spent in preparing and training to become wrestlers. We were born to be wrestlers; to be champions. Those two were born to be guests on Jerry Springer or the guys in the trailer park when Cops goes to answer a domestic abuse call.”
Krown: “I fear the Amish Mafia a lot more than the Cornbread Mafia, and I am pretty sure the Amish mafia doesn’t exist outside a questionable reality show. Now if they were Italian or even Irish, I may be concerned. However, I doubt hicks can even form an organized crime family. No one is looking for the Redneck Mafia to control the moonshine and imbreding”
Murphy: “Two men does not a mafia make. Two brothers does not a tag team make. We may not be brothers, but we are a tag team. We are the better tag team and we are the better breed and we are going to prove that to them.”
Krown: “Maybe they have been together their whole lives and maybe they have some sort of brotherly bond, but that means nothing to us as we have been around wrestling our whole lives and that has to count for something.”
Murphy: “Our match to K.I.S.S. was just a minor setback. We are going to go into Tragic Engagement and we are going to prove that the South will not rise again. We are going to show those two that they are nothing more than peasants rising up against the nobility that they will never be good enough to beat. That’s Murphy’s Law.”
Krown opens his mouth to say something, but stops and just waves his hands. Murphy looks at him, raising an eyebrow and looking a little confused.
Krown: “Hey, we already did the line once. I am not repeating myself because this one is not paying attention.”
Sarah looks up from her nails.
Sarah: “Huh? Oh, right. Well thank you for your time.”
Murphy: “I see your point.”
Krown: “I know.”
The two second generation wrestlers pick up their bags and make their way to the exit. Sarah turns towards the camera.
Sarah: “So yeah, that was Sang Réal and at Tragic Engagement, they face the Cornbread Mafia in a tag team match, I think.”
Cameraman: "How did you get this job?"
Sarah: "What? Huh? I dunno."
The scene starts to fade out as Sarah takes her phone out to continue what she was doing before having to do the interview and the cameraman shakes his head.
