Underestimation from the Overestimated
[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jan-29-03 AT 01:45 AM (EST)](Fade In: To the annoyingly cheesy grin of Sly Sterling as the scene opens with a close-up of his semi-disturbing mug. The camera cuts back, reaveling Raze and Nuke, collectively known as GRIDLOCK, standing tall with their arms crossed, behind him as the three have gathered in a school yard. As the men stand there against a chain link fence, Raze and Nuke both staring solemnly at the camera, Sly rubs his hands together, and begins to speak.)
Sterling: "Aaaaaaand so it came to pass that, when faced with the BIGGEST challenge he will EVER encounter here in Grrreat Lakes Championship Wrestling, the ever-inflated *makes quotations with his fingers* "STUPENDOUS" Stephen Morgan.. has chosen to play golf! ...Golf!!!"
(Raze shoves his way forward and interjects...)
Raze: "Playing with balls, Sly.. PLAYING with BALLS!! And if ya ask me, he does it cuz he doesn't have a set of his own!! I'm telling you, if he thinks for ONE SECOND..."
(As Raze starts to become animated, Sly quickly puts his arm in front of the big man and steps back to the forefront.)
Sterling: "Whoooooa, whoooooa, WHOA!! Easy, big man!! I mean, really.. I understand your frustration, you two being the most DOMINANT FORCE this company will EVER see, and there he is hitting the links instead of preparing for the fight, but come now... what good will getting wound up over it now do? Save it for the match, Raze. Keep all that agression niiiiiiice n' bottled up inside that tank of a body you have. That way, when you guys step into that ring, Mr. Morgan, along with Nikolai Ash, will get a beating the likes of which has NEVER been documented....and, unfortunately for them, they won't even see it coming."
(Sly turns his attention away from Raze, who has collected himself, and back to the camera)
Sterling: "Because that, my friends, is what happens when you underestimate the utter CHAOS and destruction brought about by Gridlock! While Stephen Morgan sits there all smug, thinking he has the scoop, rambling ooon and ooooon about ratings, main events, and other things he knows nothing about, my boys here are on the war path. Out for blood, CRAVING fresh meat, and ready to FEED! But does this phase our oblivious friend? Oh no! He's not in the gym, he's not watching tape, he's not praying to the great lord in heaven that Gridlock doesn't end his life! Not by a long shot! Instead, he resides at the country club, dressed from head to toe in horrible golf clothing, playing with his balls, as Raze put it..."
(As Sly talks, Raze begins to shake, and his face grows red with anger.)
Sterling: "Heh... all that being said, Stephen Morgan, I feel inclined to ask you... if THAT's how you handle a small, motionless golf ball, what's gonna happen when you're in there with nearly 600 LBS. of unbridled FURY?! Hmmmmmm???? And sure, you looked tough bullying a woman, but in case you haven't noticed, Raze and Nuke here are anything but! But hey, do what you will, continue to overlook what's in front of you to make way for your whining. It's your funeral, kid!"
(Raze loses his cool, shoves Sly violently out of the shot, places his hand on the camera, and pulls it up towards his face...)
Raze: "Iiiiiiiin other words, PREPARE... to get.... GRIDLOCKED!!!!!!"
(Nuke moves into the shot, nodding his head approvingly. He is followed by Sly, who looks slightly shaken up after Raze's "love tap.")
Sterling: *coughs* "Think about it boys... it may save your lives!!"
(Fade to black...)
