The UWA logo is upside down. A large stylized R has been painted over it. This is the emblem of Ragnarok.
Connor Murphy and Gabriel Krown, Sang Réal, are standing in front of the emblem. Murphy rubs his temples, leaning his head back as he paces a bit. Krown is standing there rubbing his hands together.
Murphy stops pacing a looks up, sighing before he speaks.
Murphy: “Do you know what is funny about all of this Sin City Knights? Do you know what makes this little rivalry we have going on so hilarious? Do you? Because we are going to tell you what it is, and when you hear it, you are going to laugh.”
Krown nods in agreement to his tag team partner’s statement while Murphy looks down.
Krown: “To be fair, it is rather funny considering everything that has happened between us.”
Murphy: “What makes this so funny, considering everything we have done to you, everything that is about to happen to you, is that we actually do not hate you. What we feel towards you, particularly more Silver Baron and Quentin Sharpe than Craven, is a strong sense of resentment.”
Krown: “And really it is not hard to do all things considered.”
Murphy: “And you can say it is just jealousy, and maybe part of it is, but when you really get down to it, when you really think about it, we are justified in our resentment towards the Sin City Knights. And it has nothing to do with the fans loving you or that you are surrounded by hot women, no far from it.”
Krown: “We do not care what the fans think and we really never will, because we do not care what a bunch of unwashed peasants think.”
Murphy begins pacing back and forth again.
Murphy: “We resent that you, Baron and Sharpe, were given an opportunity that we deserved. Hell, any team in the UWA other than you two deserved it, but for some odd reason, for reasons no one has ever explained and probably never will, the UWA gave the chance to you, a man who maybe had one tag team match with his actual UWA run and then seemed to wrestle a lot of singles matches, and a rookie fresh off the street. As far as we can tell, the only reason you two were even given the shot is because the Raising Hell pay-per-view was in Las Vegas and you two were from Las Vegas.”
The scion of the Krown wrestling family rolls his eyes. His tone is sarcastic
Krown: “Because that seems fair.”
Murphy: “It was bad enough that the match was just added last minute to the pay-per-view with no hype or build up. But what was worse is the way you two acted upon winning it, like you were the greatest team in UWA history, like every other team was beneath you.”
Krown gestures to himself and Murphy.
Krown: “That is a thing that we do. Why would you make that a thing that you do when you literally only had the one match as a team and it was a title match?”
Murphy smacks the back of his right hand into the palm of his left as he keeps pacing back and forth.
Murphy: “When you think of the teams that made the UWA Tag Team division what it is, the Sin City Knights have offered nothing to the division. We called you paper champions, and in all honesty, that was far to kind, because we should have called you place holder champions. We did not say you were going to lose to K.I.S.S. because we were bitter. We said it because unlike you two, K.I.S.S. is an actual tag team. The tag team division was built by Sang Réal and the Cornbread Mafia trying to kill each other in a feud of the year candidate, which ended in a match of the year candidate. The tag team division was built by K.I.S.S., who, as much as we hate to say it, has beaten everyone they have been up against.”
Krown: “When you really think about it, Baron and Sharpe, all you two did at Raising Hell was win the titles just to keep them warm for K.I.S.S. to win them. I mean I don’t think anyone thought you would win the match.”
Murphy: “You asked who we have beaten. We could ask you the same thing. We could ask you why the hell you deserved to be champions in the first place, because when it really counted, when you had the chance to prove yourself better than us, you decided to take the easy way out and refuse to accept our challenge. In one moment, you proved that the first ever UWA Tag Team Championship reign in history was the mistake we said it was. In one moment, you proved that you two were nothing more than the paper champions we said you were right from the start. Your entire title reign was a joke, a complete and total waste of everyone’s time.”
Once again, Krown nods in agreement with his partner’s words.
Krown: “And what made it worse is the simple fact that you never deserved it to begin with. I mean really, there was never a reason for you two to be in the match to begin with. As far as we are concerned, it should have been Sang Réal versus the Cornbread Mafia for the UWA Tag Team Championships and it should have happened inside the steel cage match at Searing Agony, which is already a match of the year candidate. But no, making the first ever tag team title match in history a throw away filler match was much better, because it is clear that the UWA does not care about any tag team other than K.I.S.S. or Sin City Knights and does not care in the least about the tag team division. Please, find a counter argument. We dare you. Yes you could say at least you were champions, but how can we get opportunities at things when they are just handed to the chosen ones and we’re never on TV to wrestle? We can’t now, can we? No.”
Murphy: “You asked who we have beaten? The sad thing is that we have been in this company for months and yet we have wrestled a total of seven matches. That is all. Do you hear me? We have wrestled a grand total of seven goddamned matches in the entire time we have been in the UWA.”
As if to illustrate this fact, Krown actually holds up seven fingers.
Krown: “Seven matches in the span of ten months? Wow! Even when you consider the UWA is bi weekly that is still pretty damn sad. No wonder people keep leaving.”
Krown lowers his fingers.
Murphy: “Meanwhile, Sin City Knights, particularly Silver Baron, get to be on every single show. Do you know why we do commentary on matches? Do you?”
Krown: “It’s not because they pay us well to do it or because we like to walk out here and see other people wrestle instead of us. If that’s what you thought, then you would in fact be very wrong.”
Murphy: “No we do it because it seems to be the only damn way we get to be on television. We did not join the UWA to do commentary on matches that we do not even care about or have any interest in. We do not want to do Lula and Chase’s jobs. We go out there and do commentary because if we didn’t, I doubt very much anyone would remember we even work here.”
Krown: “To be honest, I forget I work here half the time. If we were paid by appearance, we’d be homeless right now!”
Murphy: “And it is like they go out of their way to find reasons not to put us on television in matches. We lay out Silver Baron and Quentin Sharpe and you would think with this whole thing going on that Connor Murphy versus Quentin Sharpe or Silver Baron or Gabriel Krown versus Silver Baron or Quentin Sharpe or one of us versus Craven would have been a thing these past two months as we moved to Fearless and had this whole thing going on, but none of those things happened because we'd be on TV and that seems to go against UWA policy towards teams that are not Sin City Knights or K.I.S.S..”
Again, Krown’s tone becomes somewhat sarcastic.
Krown: “But we're just making excuses or something. Clearly it was a scheduling thing as we’ve been busy with our doing absolutely nothing these last couple of weeks and you’re wasting everyone’s time as champions and Silver Baron’s crazy.”
Murphy: “Do you three realize that if we did NOT attack you at Raising Hell, if we did not align with Kyle Travis, that we probably would NOT have had the match with K.I.S.S. or this match and would probably still not be on television? Do you have any idea how frustrating that is as a wrestler to be kept out of matches for no reason? We are second generation wrestlers. We are not saying give us a match every week, but we’d like to wrestle more than once every three months.”
This time it is Krown who seems agitated. He slides his fingers through his hair and then holds them in front of him like he is about to snap.
Krown: “It would be nice to have a few matches or so, not just wrestle once every two or three months, be forgotten about and repeat the cycle. Do you know how frustrating it is? Oh, wait, no you wouldn’t possibly have any idea how frustrating it is because the UWA loves the shit out of Silver Baron, which is why he is on every damn episode of Monday Night Mayhem while a vast majority of us get to sit at home wondering why the hell we joined UWA if we were just going to sit at home and collect money like some goddamned retiree. Honestly it is like UWA just looks for reasons to keep us from wrestling!”
Krown manages to keep himself under control, lowering his hands.
The son of the Irish wrestling legend Shameus Murphy stops pacing and removes his signature gold round framed sunglasses. He points them towards the camera with a stabbing motion.
Murphy: “We gave you the opportunity to show the world that you were the UWA Tag Team Champion, that you actually did deserve those titles, and that you were more than paper champions and yet all you did was act like you were somehow better than us. The simple fact of the matter is that you two never should have been UWA Tag Team Champions and that you never deserved the titles. You were placeholder champions and paper champions at best. The fact that you were even allowed to compete for those titles is the biggest insult of them all.”
Krown: “So you can see as to why we are more than just a bit resentful towards you. Really, all this antagonism comes from the fact we feel you never should have gotten the title shot, the match was a huge insult to the tag team division, which UWA clearly does not care about, and that we are seemingly wasting our time here because UWA does not really want to put us or any team that is not Sin City Knights or K.I.S.S. on Mayhem.”
Murphy rolls the sunglasses between his hands, using his fingers to turn them.
Murphy: “We wanted to do this differently. We made a challenge to you for those titles and instead, you ran from the fight. The simple fact is you have been ducking this fight since it started. You could have gone to Georgio Oliver and demanded us in the ring after we laid you out. You could have challenged us to a match. But instead, you ran. You ran and you avoided opportunity after opportunity to face us. Even when we challenged you, you avoided it. But that changes at Fearless.”
Krown: “No where to run, no where to hide. The entire ring will be surrounded by lumberjacks to keep everyone in the ring and keep anyone from running. Except that we do not plan to run. We plan to go right through you.”
Murphy: “We plan to beat you at Fearless and maybe, just maybe, that will actually make the UWA put us on TV for more than one match every two or three months. Maybe, just maybe, we get to actual wrestle. Maybe we get what we deserve.”
Krown: “We did not come to the UWA to be footnotes, or to be used as commentators. No, we came here to wrestle and to be champions. Those titles that you squandered are our birthright. We were born to be wrestlers. We were born to be champions.”
Murphy: “Craven, Silver Baron, Quentin Saint, at Fearless, we will have our moment, we will have our victory and then finally, finally we get to rise up. Finally we get to put you in your place like we should have done weeks ago if you were man enough to accept our challenge.”
Krown: “Which you weren’t. Honestly, we are pretty sure that if it was not for Georgio Oliver making this match you wouldn’t be doing this.”
Slowly, Murphy slides his gold, round framed sunglasses back on.
Murphy: “At Fearless, the Sin City Knights will fall. You can no longer run from this fight. That’s Murphy’s Law.”
Once more, Krown gestures to himself and to his tag team partner Connor Murphy.
Krown: “We were born to be wrestlers; born to be champions. You two squandered an opportunity you never should have gotten and only got it because you are part of the elite. At the end of the day, we are the better tag team. That’s Checkmate.”
Murphy: “We are, now and always have been, Sang Réal.”
Krown: “And not only are we a better tag team than you, but we were born better than you.”
The scene fades to black with Murphy and Krown standing in front of the Ragnarok logo.
