OOC: sorry for not editing this roleplay. my internet connection has been crapping in and out at least once every 20 minutes and I just need to get this roleplay up for the sake of getting it up.
Double OOC: Fuck I didn't know I was teaming with JD Michaels and Xtremely Cool had Hutt Anderson. Now the roleplay is basically fuck all. Fuck it, this is the roleplay. I'll accept the docking of points for the lack of foresight on my end. I just NEED to make sure I don't noshow.
It was obviously a defeatist mentality in the Triple A locker room on this day. Andrei Evans & James Carpenter both mulled about, deprivated from sleep. Ashamed of their loss, exhausted with shame. There wasn't much to be excited or energetic about, beyond the fact that they still had an IWF contract. Razzle Dazzle entered the room, her hair in a ponytail of her multi colored goodness. She had a disappointed look on her face, but it wasn't what you would expect it to be.
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
I'm upset with you guys.
Andrei "Crossfire" Evans:
Yeah, yeah. We know. You're upset that we lost our first televised match against the Hayes Brothers.
James "K-9" Carpenter:
And you're upset that we didn't follow your instructions, and that cost us the match. Not only did we lose, but we lost clean, in the middle of the ring. No rematches, no excuses, we failed you.
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
No.
Both Andrei & James perked up in the general direction of their respective manager. Her arms were folded over he chest as she tapped her foot on the ground. Taking one hand she sifted her hair away from her right left ear, and calmly explained to them in a stern tone exactly what her problem was.
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
No, I'm upset with you because you're sitting around in this locker room. You didn't just lose, you're moping about your loss. You're not doing the golden rule of winning and losing. You're not picking yourself up, dusting yourselves off, and moving forward!
James "K-9" Carpenter:
What are we gonna do Razzy? How are we going to prove ourselves. We've already lost our first official tag match, what is there left to do?
Andre "Crossfire" Evans:
We gave it our all in that match KK. It's hard to keep goin', when you give 100%, and it's still not enough.
Razzy D moved over to her clients, threw her hands up into the air and kicked over an iron bench that was loosely nailed to the floor. Her cheeks flared bright pink with the cutest little angry face you ever did see. But judging by the strength of her kick, I wouldn't want to hit that right about now. Damnit, another narrator interjection, on with the story.
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
I'm not hearing this. I recruited you two into the world of professional wrestling because you were the BEST in your fields. James, you were an undefeated MMA independent breakout star ready to head to the big leagues. You've got ground game and muy thai like no other! Andrei, you were an All American NCAA MVP of professional football. You gave up a life of sponsorships, fame, fortune & unlimited media exposure to help me shape up the best damn tag team I could find on the indy's! We've hit the big time now, we are in IMPACT. WRESTLING. FEDERATION. You don't get bigger than this, and it's NATURAL that you guys are going to win some and lose some. Only the best of the best are in this promotion. Now I want you to pick up your feet and get ready for Test #2. Because you're booked in six man tag action. It's billed as Xtremely Cool & JD Michaels Vs. Triple A & Hutt Anderson. I expect you guys to be in the best of fighting shape, and I expect an undeniable W to rebound from your loss so that we can be one step closer to getting our revenge on the Hayes Brothers!
Katie Kings words seemed to help spark a fire underneath her fighters lazy depressive behinds. They suddenly began to seem genuinely enthused about the upcoming contest. And even Katie was surprised when James Carpenter came back with some information, he had obviously been doing his research beforehand.
James "K-9" Carpenter:
Hutt Anderson....isn't he that really really big dude that teams with that other undefeated dude? They are a relatively new tag team as well, do you think Anderson is going to be of help to us?
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
Trust me, I spoke with The True Enforcer earlier this week. He's pumped. He's a big guy, so he adds an interesting dynamic that I wasn't expecting out of this match. He's going to help blend in especially well with your smaller, quicker fighting styles. He's just the edge we need to take this one home this week.
Andrei "Crossfire" Evans:
Now we know about Xtremely Cool. Madness & Reaver right? But JD Michaels, all I know about him is that he's been picking up some impressive performances lately on IWF and that he's a texan brawler. Although I'm gonna love the chance to smack Mendoza upside his nappy little head.
Katie was surely impressed by the exchange going on with her fighters. She hadn't expected them to be fully prepared with ringside knowledge of their next match up. But apparently, even in defeat, combat was in the back of their minds at all times. Razzy D tucked that tidbit of information in the back of her mind as a reminder for later situations.
James "K-9" Carpenter:
Don't get cocky bro. That's the mistake we made last week. We thought it would be cool to get the Hayes brothers one on one. And look where that got us. We're going to have to be more careful this time.
"Razzle Dazzle" Katie King:
Luck just happens to be on your side tonight though boys. Reaver is double booked on this show. So he's going to be pulling double duty and won't be 100%. You factor that in, while at the same time having a hardcore ruffian like Hutt Anderson on our side, then the only variable you have to worry about is JD Michaels and his girly girl, Natalie. So just be careful, pick your spots, and I have confidence that we can win again boys. Who knows? If you win, I might invite some of my friends over and we can have a little rave party.
Andrei "Crossfire" Evans:
Well sweet shit on a sandwhich hold the mayo extra tomato. Whaddya waitin' for James? Let's get our shit together and hit the gym! It's on like Donkey Kong in a tangerine thong!
And so, K-9 & Crossfire hurried out of the locker room. Like two eager school boys being told that they'd get cookies & milk if they got an A on their math test. Katie King looked onwards with a look of satisfaction on her face and a sisterly look of fondness in her eyes. There was going to be a test alright, but it would be one involving more than just the sum of its parts. Because when you add the combination of Triple A & Hutt Anderson, and you cross connect it with the potential division of Xtremely Cool & JD Michaels, the result is Academic. A victory for Triple A could believably be in the books.
