Swingin' Spiders

[Juan Ramirez]

“So, why do they call you the savior of misbehavior? Why would anyone want to save misbehavior?”

The camera focused on the very european Cesaro, who rubbed his chin as he stood next to the EBWF Announcer, Corey Graves. Cesaro was clad in a black suit, a white shirt with the collar popped. Corey wore a black suit, black shirt and black bowtie. Cesaro wondered for a moment if someone had died or something. Graves rolled his eyes at the Swiss Superman.

Cesaro: Rhetorical question, Corey. I’ll let you do your job.

Corey Graves: Thank you.

Cesaro reached into the pocket of his jacket to pull out a small square covered in foil paper.

Cesaro: Chocolate?

Graves shook his head, Cesaro shrugged and unwrapped his native delight before taking a bite.

Corey Graves: Ladies and Gentlemen, the first ever EBWF Tag Team Classic kicks off this Monday night! My guest at this time is none other than one of the participants of such prestigious tournament! Cesaro! Now, in case you’ve been living under a rock… The EBWF Tag Team Classic is a tournament where random wrestlers are paired and pitted against each other… What are your thoughts on such concept?

Cesaro: Corey, concepts like these is what keep EBWF as the top Wrestling Promotion in the whole wide world. It is no secret that the Tag Team division hasn’t been in the spotlight for a while… But if you do your homework, you’d see there have been some memorable tag teams in EBWF, like D-Generation X, The ThrillSeekers, Londrick, Rated RKO; who by the way are part of this tournament! Now, we have some interesting teams of superstars paired at random! It gives the Tag Team Classic an “Anything can happen” vibe!

Corey Graves: For instance, you’ll be teaming up with “The Eater of Worlds” Bray Wyatt… How are you planning to work together with someone like Bray? Do you even know if he is interested in working with you?

Cesaro: Corey, if there is one thing to know about me is… I am Swiss. Neutrality is a way of life to us. Bray Wyatt is a formidable competitor, just have a look at him! He is strong, he is intimidating, he can strike fear onto his opponent’s souls. I feel very lucky to have been paired with him… And I am sure he feels the same way about me. Sure, there are teams with a lot more chemistry… But chemistry isn’t all! And as unlike allies as we might seem… You gotta admit, Cesaro and Bray Wyatt are one explosive combination!

Corey Graves: What are your thoughts on your upcoming opponents, Alex Shelley and Matt Sydal?

Cesaro shrugged and offered a smile to the lens of the camera.

Cesaro: I guess it is a shame they’re going to end their participation on this tournament so soon. Let’s see… Alex Shelley is a former EBWF World Champion, former Tag Team Champion, one half of one of the best tag teams in the world… He has wrestled around the glove! Alex Shelley is definitely an interesting opponent… Even if he hasn’t done anything in a while. Shelley lives and breathes tag team wrestling… What’s the only thing Alex Shelley has going against him on this tournament, you might ask? Easy, the fact he is not teaming up with Cesaro. If Bray and I manage to take him out of this tournament, I would say we have pretty hot chances of becoming the number one contenders! On the other hand we have Sydal, who is also very fast, light on his feet and thirsty for success… Now, as random as can be, Alex Shelley and Matt Sydal have have similar styles of working the ropes…Bray and I… We have the element of surprise on our side. We have strength, we have viciousness, we have eerieness, we have chocolate… We have it all!

Corey Graves: You sure seem confident about this upcoming match up!

Cesaro: It is hard not to be confident when you’re Cesaro, Corey. It is hard not to be confident when your opponent is able to get into his opponent’s heads with relative ease! No disrespect to our opponents, but they are going to need more than thirst for glory to put me down, and they’re certainly going to need to overcome their biggesst fears if they even want to beat Bray Wyatt. So Shelley, Sydal… You better bring you A-game to the ring tonight, because you’re the first guests to Cesaro’s Uppercut Party! We're celebrating the formation of an Alliance between Bray Wyatt and myself: The Swingin' Spiders! Without a shadow of a doubt, The Swingin' Spiders will be next EBWF Tag Team Champions, and there is not a random or established tag team that can stop us... Sure, most of them will be willing to try, but a couple of spins, a sharpshooter and Bray's piercing gaze into their eyes as I bend their spines until they break will persuade them otherwise...

Cesaro smiled confidently as the scene faded to black.
