{The screen lights up and we find ourselves looking at the infamous duo of Thomas Bane and David Gibson, the Shinigami Foundation, are in their usual place at the Velveteen Rabbit in New York City. Bane is rocking his signature white suit while Gibson is decked out in a black one with a blood red tie with the more experienced half of the team sitting back and studying the camera seriously as Gibson paces back and forth}
Gibson: What happened at Superunknown has really gotten my blood boiling, even all these days later, and that’s because some ref who felt pity on the pathetic existence of Harvey Francis and Bob Regan, decided that he should be kind and give them the quick count victory over the truly superior examples of tag team wrestling that is the FOUNDATION!! Two little shits who don’t deserve to be in the same *building* as us, let alone the same *ZIP* *CODE* were allowed to move on in the tournament and because of that one stupid little action, two little children known as Pedro Gonzales and Persona Non Grata hold what is rightfully ours by right of our very existence!
Gonzales…Grata, you need to grasp the simple fact that the match that my partner and I are going to be apart of this weekend is merely a formality and that in very short order Mister Thomas Bane and I are going to correct this little mistake that is your time as the Razor Tag Team champions as it will be soon be completed ABORTED the moment that you two children step into the ring with your betters.
{Gibson stands there, the rage clear in his eyes as the camera turns its attention towards Bane who looks as calm, cool, and collected as ever as he leans back in his seat and motions at his partner}
Bane: Now normally I would apologize on behalf of my partner for his emotional state because he does tend to wear his love for this industry right there on his sleeve…but in this case, I’m not going to and I will tell you all why.
Especially to our opponents for this week in Insane Fortune and the Steel Rockers…so you four definitely need to listen up and pay close attention.
You see, we went into Superunknown more than ready for some of the biggest fights of our career. Nevermind the fact that we had wrestled not once, but twice earlier that same week for championships that we hold right now. And wrestled without a complaint in the world because when you are, in total truth and reality, the top team of any promotion that we step into… and that’s not just idle boast, no that is the complete truth because unlike a lot of you wrestlers out there who are simply in it for the flips, kicks, and dicks…the Foundation is this industry because we love our sport and we feel that its our duty to uphold any division that we enter to a higher standard in both quality…and violence wherever we go.
But at Superunknown, by allowing those two…pimples for the lack of a better term…the chance to advance in that tournament because some ref decided that he should be kind and let so much escape him?
Well to put it simply, that was very unprofessional of that ref and in turn that boils the blood that courses through the veins of pure professionals such as myself and my partner in Mister Gibson here.
And that is where you four and our match this weekend comes in, gentlemen.
You see, in order to ensure that this level of bullshit never rears its fugly head again, an example must be made to the entire Razor Wrestling Tag Team division. An object lesson in why the Shinigami Foundation are the kings of the tag team divisions in two other promotions, Los Rebeldes del Bien must bear witness to what happens when you hold what the true kings desire.
But most importantly of all, you four will know what it means to have yourselves weighed and measured…only to be found wanting.
I mean David and I could speak highly of the skills of both of you in Insane Fortune or perhaps how incredibly driven the Steel Rockers are…but at this stage of things, we simply do not care because as it stands, the only thing that the four of you is doing is standing in our way.
And that simply shall not do.
Gibson: And before any one of the four of you get it into your little thick skulls that we’re already giving the match to one of your two teams because we’re looking past you and to the tag titles, that cannot be any further from the truth because right now, as my partner just fucking said, the four of you are going to be our prime example as to why the Foundation is not only the dominant force here in this promotion, but to any company that we join.
You see our successes in this sport has come from months of hard fought victories and losses, but instead of resting on our fucking laurels and getting fat and lazy as those winning paychecks kept on rolling in, no…we took every victory as we did with every loss and tore the tapes apart, studying each and every step of the match to see where we went wrong, what could improve on, and most importantly what we could improve to make the matches even better than they were before.
Bane: Not because we’re perfectionists, mind you. But because that is our level of not just dedication to our division as tag team wrestlers…but also as dedication to our *sport*, gentlemen.
Gibson: But if an abject lesson must be made to the champions, I honestly can’t think of two other teams to fight. I mean look at you two bastards in Insane Fortune for a prime example. I mean Jahkay and Aroa, you two are so in tune with each other in the ring that I can honestly see the two of you giving Bane and myself one hell of a run for our money in the future, maybe even this weekend on Razor television. Truth be told you were the team that I was hoping that we’d go up against first in the tournament that we all just finished because I wanted to see if your styles could handle the kind of fire and fury that we bring.
Bane: Yeah, I’ll agree to that but while you were counting on those two, my partner, I on the other hand was wanting a shot at the Steel Rockers. I mean come on, Jimmy. You should know better than trying to use the recklessness of youth to try and regain something that you never had to begin with.
I mean yes, once you could’ve been something Jimmy. You had a real fire inside of you once, but suddenly one day that fire went out long before you were able to accomplish anything of worth to make you as truly famous as you pretend to be. And now you choose to live vicariously through your young pupil in Colby and he’ll suffer for this, both from your crimes of arrogance and his own, which will be of his worshiping your falsehoods.
So when I say that I’m looking forward to seeing the Steel Rockers, I mean it because I wish to put an end to Jimmy’s horrendous continued existence in my sport, one that I will enjoy shattering to help make the Foundation’s footpath towards taking what is the Foundation’s by right. But while we will shatter Jimmy’s dreams of ever becoming a champion…I promise that we’ll save Colby from himself, ladies and gentlemen.
Because don’t let it be said that we are not without some level of mercy…
{Gibson’s face breaks out into a rather wicked looking smile}
Gibson: …or humor.
Bane: The point of the matter is that this time, not only is the prize too rich and too desired for us to just simply destroy our opposition and move on…but this, we will take things slowly…and perhaps even…
{Bane’s face breaks out into a wicked grin of his own as the leans he picks up his glass and makes like he’s toasting the camera with it before he glances over at Gibson with a questioning look}
Bane: …dare I say it?
Gibson: Dare! Dare!
Bane: Very well then, my brother. Perhaps even this time on Razor Television…the Foundation will even enjoy ourselves as we reveal in the mayhem and destruction that we will ferment and cause on that particular evening.
Gibson: Because you never make a wolf hungry enough to charge the lair of the hunters.
{Bane takes a pull from his glass before smiling at the camera again}
Bane: Los Rebeldes del Bien….Gonzales and Grata, keep our belts nice and shiny for us. Because we will be coming for them very, very soon.
{Bane then salutes the camera again before the screen static cuts to the Foundation’s logo for a second before static cutting to black as the promo ends}
