As Road 2 Glory warps up reports and news crew roll in and sit down for the Post-Show Media Scrum. Jim Black's voice comes over the PA system." “Ladies and gentlemen, the show may be over, but the fight never stops. Welcome to the Official Road 2 Glory Post-Show Media Scrum!

So grab your notepads, get your cameras ready, and brace yourself because the fallout from tonight starts right now!” <<<<< CLICK HERE FOR TO LOG INTO THE SCRUM >>>>>

Buzzing from a dimmed hotel introduces us to a lobby. No, not that Lobby. The kind of emptiness you’d expect in the early morning hours. 3:56am. That buzzing is accompanied by a nervous foot tapping near the entrance to the hotel. That foot belongs to the determined frame of one Anthony Baker, the scars on his face doing nothing to mask his focus. That focus is interrupted by a familiar voice. ???: Any updates? Baker’s head turns on a swivel, equal parts expecting the question… Equal parts not having an answer. Baker: Nah b. Not yet. The man he faces is one of his teammates in tomorrow night’s Wargames matchup and a man he's relied on for the better part of the last 15 years… Harvey Hamilton Ocean, H2O. H2O: He’ll show. He has to. He won’t- Baker: Man I know that…. But this Rust Cohle shit, man I ain’t ever seen Quartz like this. H2O: I have. Baker’s head snaps to his tag partner, almost accusatorily. H2O: ...But what’s on the other side is anything but surrender. He’s going to blast through the doors tomorrow night with a purpose. Baker: That’s that purpose we all fighting for, tho! H2O: It is. Bolek and I had a chat and he’s as optimistic as we are. H2O and Anthony Baker stand in silence for a few moments, keeping a guarded eye on the front door to the hotel they expect Inness Quartz to populate any minute now. After a few tense, silent moments, H2O speaks again. H2O: ...Not a word, huh? Baker shakes his head slowly, a grimace washing over his face. Baker: No. He hasn’t said a word since Turmoil. Not a text. Not a phone call. Nothing on the socials. Nothing. H2O nods H2O: To be expected. I remember all those years ago… When he dropped me in the middle of the ring on Turmoil and only began to reveal our history… Reveal the fact that he and I are brothers. H2O: At that time, I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know why my mother and father would lie to me. I didn’t know why he followed me my entire life but chose THAT moment to tell me the truth. Baker’s attention turns to his tag partner, keenly. Baker: Yeah. I was in the ring that night… And so was… A hush falls over the already silent lobby. H2O: ...Yeah. H2O: I’ve been where my brother is at. We’re cut from the same cloth, he and I. I know, update or not… Quartz will be here tomorrow for Wargames… He’s taking as much time as he needs to process the loss of what he viewed as family. H2O: But he knows he’s got family on the other end. He knows this mission is not over. Baker: No doubt… H2O takes a halfstep away from the front door before looking back at Baker. H2O: And you? Baker: I’m not going anywhere. I’ll sleep standing if I must. The first person that man sees when he gets here is gon’ be Anthony Baker .. Through everything we been through. I owe him that much. I owe you all that much. B2O share a knowing nod, as Harvey retires to his room for the night. Baker stands, cell phone in hand, focused to uphold his promise and welcome Quartz to Atlanta.

The Scene open with Goddrifter on a stool with a room full of designs for Tattoos and is in front of a interviewer. Goddrifter: What’s going on everyone, I’m OCW Ambition Star, “The DriftMeister” Goddrifter or GD for short and this is Ink Stories….. Interviewer: what was your first Tattoo? Goddrifter Lifts his right arm and shows a California tattoo with a Latina and a 1964 Impala inside said state. Goddrifter: I have it on my right bicep on my inner arm and I can tell you, that hurts the most…….so the funny story is that I’m mix of Egyptian and Japanese American and due to my mother being Japanese-American, Tattoos are a no go, so when she saw the tattoo she was like “no, why did you get a tattoo, how are you supposed to return to Japan with that”, my dad doesn’t mind but he says “as long as it’s tasteful then you’re good…” Interviewer: What Tattoo Gets the Most Attention? Goddrifter: Probably the Ankh Tattoo on my left shoulder, I want to honor my father’s tradition so I got a tattoo of it and a Anubis tattoo on my left side of my ribs… Interviewer: What was your Biggest piece? Goddrifter: Easily the tattoo sleeves and my back…..it took…..weeks to get my tattoos to heal…..but if I had to pick……it’s definitely the dragon and the grim reaper on my lower back specifically….I always love dragons and I love grim dark s-(Bleeps) Interviewer: What is your next tattoo and where is it going to be? Goddrifter: Probably my abdomen, it’s a blank canvas after all……probably both a katana and a Khopesh crosses together with a Oni mask……. Interviewer: What’s your advice on getting tattoos if someone is getting their first tattoo? Goddrifter: Always and I mean always ask for numbing cream and once you get your tattoo, don’t remove the protective foil…… Interviewer: and that’s it, thank you for your time, GD. Goddrifter: No problem, this is my first time getting to talk about my tattoos…. The Screen Fades to black once Goddrifter exits the Tattoo Parlor

Well I was about to post a sad meme but just as I did, Gooner blindsided the champ. What in the sam hickie is going on

At the end of the day, match of the night will never be a match where sudden death is actively tried for. Actively is the key word, it becomes easy to see you just really need the dub and for some thats fine and other it lowers match quality. Nate could done the same to me in our match 2 fins to zero. To each thier own.
