RP Title: “It’s a long way to the top.â€
The last Supercard of the Year was this Sunday as High Stakes VII was set to take place in Melbourne, Australia and among the matches was a Triple Threat Tag Team Match between the Angel Clan (Melanie and Athena Gabrielle), the Motor City Maidens (Allison and Stephanie Sullivan) and the only team to not feature relatives and the focus of this promo the Metal and Punk Connection (Jessie Salco and Amy Marshall) where the winners would be granted a Tag Team Title match against the winners of the Tag Title Match between The Fallen and London Underground, it has been a long time since the original Metal and Punk Connection tandem of Jessie and Amy teamed up for a match and even longer since they’ve held tag team gold but can Jessie and Amy end that?
Eureka Skydeck, Melbourne Australia
October 25th, 2017, 18:00pm
What better way to end a tour of Australia than being in one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne? Well, maybe it’s not so great if you’re scared of heights (something I had to ask the camera crew before we left the hotel) but regardless we’re here at the Eureka Skydeck.
And by we, I mean me, Jake, Shane and Amy, I suggested this trip out to Amy after we had finished our training by pointing out that there were only a few days left in the tour so we may as well see the sites, something she agreed with and as for the boys? Well they would’ve come with me one way or another so that’s that.
I know I should be more focused on the Triple Threat Tag Team Match at High Stakes between me and Amy, The Angel Clan and the Motor City Maidens but as Amy pointed out when we met up for training this morning they’ve been strangely quiet ever since Melanie lost her Roulette Title Match to Sam Marlowe a few weeks ago, I don’t mind since I don’t like watching other people’s promos just to get ammo for my own promo but on the other hand, what’s there for me and Amy to say during the trash talk segment without treading old ground?
I’ll save you the trouble, nothing, but as much as I want that elusive World Bombshell Title Reign a title shot’s a title shot especially if it helps me build myself back up to the top of the card.
“Man, what a view!†Jake commented as he walked up to the window that was facing the long-ass staircase that we had just climbed, being a former army guy, those steps weren’t a problem for Jake but Shane on the other hand? “I think I can see all of Melbourne from up here!â€
“And I think I see a bench with my name on it!†Shane said in between deep breaths before sitting down in the bench in question. “You’d think they’d have elevators for the disabled and lazy.â€
“If they did, we didn’t see any.†I responded with a shrug and Amy nodded in response. “Still, this is a hell of a view, and a kickass backdrop for our promo, right Amy?â€
“I couldn’t agree more if I tried.†Amy responded with a grin as she looked over the landscape with me and Jake, Shane joined us once he caught his breath and we all looked over the view. “And to think, if you had won the Number 1 Contender’s Match a few weeks ago you could’ve made a “Top of the World ma†reference.â€
“Don’t remind me.†I responded as I rolled my eyes. “Right now, I’m just hoping that whoever wins the Queen and King for a Day Ladder Matches decide to book me in a title match against Mercedes or Mikah, then again most of the competitors in those matches are new guys and I’m not that familiar with them yet so it’s a long shot to say the least.â€
“And that’s if we lose our match at High Stakes.†Amy pointed out and I nodded in agreement. “Then again, considering how quiet they’ve been I doubt they’ll put up much of a fight.â€
“Don’t forget, I’ve trained with the Angel Clan and I know that they don’t half-ass anything.†I responded as I folded my arms. “The Motor City Maidens on the other hand? Are they even in Melbourne?â€
“If they are I haven’t seen them.†Amy responded with a shrug before our conversation was cut off by the boys doing a quick stretch and a yawn.
“If you girls want to do your promo, go ahead.†Jake commented before motioning to Shane. “We’re going to have a look around the Skydeck, text us when you’re done?†Jake asked and I nodded in response before the boys walked off, me and Amy exchanged grins before turning to the camera and making sure that the city was in view of the camera.
“It’s a hell of a view huh? Me and Amy are up here on top of the world, well not literally but after we win the Triple Threat Tag Team Match against The Angel Clan and the Motor City Maidens this Sunday at High Stakes VII we’ll certainly be on top of the world, won’t we Amy?†I asked and Amy nodded in agreement. “Unfortunately, we don’t have that much to say because quite frankly our opponents haven’t had much to say, or anything for that matter, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to be as quiet as they’ve been, right Amy?â€
Amy nodded in agreement before stepping forward.
“So, a week one has come and gone and nothing from our opponents has been released, I don’t know if I should be pleased about this… or maybe feel insulted that our opponents can’t be even bothered to release something about the match. Whatever the case, it’s all about what happens inside the ring coming Sunday. Sunday Jessie and I will become number one contenders to the Bombshell Tag Team titles to whoever wins the main match. But the thing is… when none of your opponents have said anything it’s hard to make comments regarding your match. But just sometimes you must say screw it… so screw it.â€
Once Amy said her piece I stepped forward.
“First up on the chopping block are my old friends in the Angel Clan, ever since this match was announced, me and Amy have agreed on two things regarding Melanie and Athena, that they are the biggest threats in this match and that Athena is the weakest link in the match! It’s like the old saying goes, you’re only as strong as your weakest link and Athena is a damn weak link! I respect the hell out of Melanie and the Angel Clan in general but that won’t stop us from winning!â€
I nodded to Amy and she stepped forward.
“The Angel Clan… the biggest threat of the match in my opinion but as I have stated many times that Athena is the weakest link of the match… she may be part of the “famous†Angel Clan but doesn’t mean she was born with talent like her mother or the rest of the family. Athena, you are going to be singled out and beaten down… and Melanie there is nothing you can do about it. The Angel clan are going to win nothing from this match because you chose your daughter who has no wrestling ability to be your partner. The Angel Clan loss will be on Melanie’s head.â€
Once Amy had said her piece I stepped forward.
“And as for the Motor City Maidens, again, who? I know the Tag Team Division has been suffering as of late but you couldn’t find another established tag team for this match? I’d almost suggest the Mean Girls because beating them up never gets old but it looks like Celeste is gone for good, Mercedes is too busy stinking up the Main Event with Mikah and Veronica has disappeared ever since Valora humiliated her! Anyway, the Maidens may have been chanting Let Us In for weeks now and how that got them in contention for a title shot I have no idea but what I do know is that you’ll be wishing that the next time your let in is because you brought a ticket!â€
I nodded to Amy as she stepped forward to say her piece on the maidens and to set up the wrap up.
“Now… Motor City Maidens…There is nothing else I can say about you… other than you are nothing more than a couple of posing cheerleaders with the most basic of wrestling ability. This let us in chant is damned annoying but hey if gets you places then whatever. But the Motor City Maiden are also going to win fuck all... and it isn’t just because they are cheerleaders and I know how Stephanie works and wrestles but because the Metal and Punk Connection are better than you.â€
Amy said before grinning.
“Metal and Punk connection are going to run straight through everyone… we are going to leave this match as number one contenders and we are going to face off against the tag team champions and beat them too. Metal and Punk Connection will once more dominate the tag team division.â€
She nodded to me and I stepped forward to wrap things up.
“They say silence is golden but I learned a long time ago that that doesn’t apply to wrestling, actions speak a hell of a lot louder than words in this business and whilst the Motor City Maidens have been very vocal about being let in, that’s as vocal as they’ve been, and the Angel Clan? They maybe Angels but they’ll need a deal with the devil to get through this match in one piece! At the end of the day it’s like Amy said, at High Stakes VII we are going to dominate the tag team division again and maybe even add a third Tag Title Reign along the way but in the end, the metal and punk connection will reign supreme!â€
We walked off to find the boys as the scene fades.
