International Powers Pre-LC Tag Match

[Antonio Everrett]

Everrett: I really appreciate you doing this for me, mate.

 

Parca: Antonio, you know it’s not an issue at all my friend!

 

We cut backstage into the locker room of Antonio Everrett, who is sat discussing with his International Powers partner El Parca. Antonio is dressed in casual attire, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

 

Everrett: Right, let’s go over the plan one more time. You head out to the Troupe locker room. You then apply the old lucha charm and convince them that poor Tony Two Times is in pain and requires desperate medical attention.

 

Parca: That is an excellent plan! I will go and act like I only see Terra and will tell her she needs to come help immediately that you’re in serious pain!

 

Everrett: Exactly! In a terrible turn of events, Terra will have no choice but to come and help someone she hopefully still cares about! Then maybe she’ll at least have a conversation with me.

 

Parca: I don’t even think Einstein could think up a better, foolproof plan. This will go down I’d say very easily!

 

Everrett: This is the kind of confidence only inspired from the International Powers, I love it!

 

The two clink title belts.

 

Everett: Right, any more last minute preparations.

 

Parca thinks to himself for a moment.

 

Parca: Ah yes! As handsome as you look my friend, you must also smell the part. Can’t have you smelling like a wrestler at this moment lemme check my bag for you!

 

Parca walks over into his bag and starts looking through it. Suddenly, a buzz and a ringtone can be heard coming from inside the bag. Parca answers his phone.

 

Parca: Big Country! How are you pal? Good, good, I’m just with Antonio at the moment..

 

Parca glances at Everrett, a concerned look on his face.

 

Parca: No, Mark c’mon I’d never forget we have a match tonight. Yes.. yes.. alright.. okay.. adios.

 

Parca puts down the phone, Everrett tilts his head slightly.

 

Parca: Antonio.. my friend, I’m so very sorry. I’d love to do this with you right now I would. But, Mark wants us to run some warmup exercises before our match tonight for the Tag Team Classic.

 

Everrett stares blankly for a minute then squeezes out a half-arsed chuckle.

 

Everrett: Oh yeah.. The Tag Classic.. How could’ve I forgotten. You know what, yeah, you’re right, your Tag Team stuff with Reese is more important than me, yeah you go do your thing, I’ll talk to you in a bit.

 

Everrett half-smiles at Parca, but quickly ushers him out of his locker room.

 

Everrett: Alright, take care, adios.

 

Parca tries replying while Antonio is ushering him out of the room.

 

Parca: Antonio it isn’t like this at all my friend! Our friendship means just as much to me as mine with Reese too!

 

Everrett: Yep I know it’s fine now go, just leave it’s fine!

 

Parca can’t finish his sentence as Everrett slams the door behind him. As Antonio grabs the flowers in his hands and tears them to shreds. He chucks the remains at the wall and sits down in a huff as the scene fades out.
