Aftermath and Serious Shade
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 11:27 am
The scene opened on the tread of a tank. A loud clang. Austin Gunn collapsed to the ground from above frame. Colten Gunn followed shortly behind. Both men were wearing the same gear they started Fanniversary in, only now they were dripping in sweat. A pair of feet hung over the side of the tread before dropping to the floor between the brothers. Billy Gunn knelt down and slapped his sons on the back with a smile crossing his face. The boys tilted their heads up and looked at him, the signs of wear and tear obvious on their faces.
Austin Gunn
We've been locked in there over a week now. I was starting to consider eating Colten to survive.
Colten Gunn
Eating me? I was going to eat you!
Austin Gunn
I'm not sure you have it in you!
Colten Gunn
I'm not sure you have it in YOU!
Billy Gunn
BOYS! Stop. You've got to get your heads on straight! What in the hell happened here?
Austin and Colten Gunn
Miro!
The stories both of the Gunn Brothers were telling enveloped one another. Their words became noise as each told a different story with a different pace. Billy Gunn put his forehead in his hands.
Billy Gunn
STOP! One at a time please. Austin, what happened?
Colten stuck his tongue out at Austin.
Austin Gunn
Okay. So, we were walking around backstage filming for our instagram. As we do. Then we found this awesome tank!
Colten Gunn
My turn! Now the tank was locked. We couldn't get it open so we were going to look for some tools to help us get inside.
Billy Gunn
Inside the tank?
Austin and Colten Gunn
Yes!
Austin Gunn
Then Miro attacked us from behind!
Colten Gunn
Yep! And he put us inside the tank.
Billy Gunn
The tank that locks and unlocks from the inside?
Austin and Colten Gunn
Yeah.
Billy Gunn
From the INSIDE!
Austin Gunn
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH! I get what you're saying.
Colten Gunn
What?
Austin Gunn
Miro was inside the tank when we came up to it.
Colten Gunn
Yeah, we established that before the brute jumped us.
Billy Gunn
No! How did you get locked in if it locks and unlocks from the inside?
Austin and Colten Gunn
OH!
Austin Gunn
No clue!
Colten Gunn
Beats me!
Billy Gunn
Okay, you know what just get cleaned up so we can get on the road. We've got to get the two of you to Des Moines! You have a match with Bobby Lashley and MVP! I'll figure out how to deal with Miro!
There was a crossfade to a locker room. Matt Striker was standing beside the Gunn Brothers who were geared up in white and gold ring gear. Austin was wearing short shorts in the style of his father with a white headband. Colten was wearing matching long trunks and the same headband. Neither of the Gunns wore a shirt making Striker's suit look a little over dressed for the interview.
Matt Striker
I'm here with Austin and Colten Gunn who will compete with MVP and Bobby Lashley in tag team action tonight! Austin, the Club hasn't had a lot of success in tag team action. Any worries tonight with a tested team like Bobby and MVP?
Austin Gunn
Are you kidding? We had a shot at being the number one contenders! I'd say that's some success right there!
Matt Striker
You lost that match.
Austin Gunn
Sure, but we're still in the title picture! We've got to be one of the best tag teams in the EBWF. Top ten for sure!
Matt Striker
Are there even ten active teams in the EBWF currently?
Austin Gunn
Sure. Sure. And the Gunn Club is better than half of them by far. The other half we're easily on par with!
Matt Striker
Which half do MVP and Lashley fall into?
Austin Gunn
That's easy. The bottom half! Those two are no match for the Gunn Club! We've got there number any day of the week.
Colten Gunn
And, twice on Mondays!
The gun brothers laughed.
Matt Striker
Right, so Colten what is the game plan going into this match?
Colten Gunn
Win.
Matt Striker
Sure, but how?
Colten Gunn
Most likely, pinfall. Neither of us are really submission guys!
Austin Gunn
That's true!
Matt Striker
Yes, I understand. But what does it take to get to that point?
Colten Gunn
I'm thinking I'll hit my Colt 45 on the old one.
Austin Gunn
Dang it! That means I have to take the ugly one!
Colten Gunn
Can I admit something to you Mr. Striker?
Matt Striker
Please, just call me Matt.
Colten Gunn
Yes sir! Anyhow, can I admit something to you Matt?
Matt Striker
Yes. That's the point of an interview.
Colten Gunn
No, this has to stay between just you and I. Edit it out.
Matt Striker
I'll do my best?
Colten Gunn
Cool cool cool. So, I'm not sure which one is the old one.
Matt Striker
There isn't a big age difference between them, I think three years!
Colten Gunn
Man, that makes this confusing.
Austin Gunn
You want the ugly one?
Colten Gunn
I thought they were both the ugly one!
Matt Striker
I'm going to need the two of you to reign it in. So, the plan so far is to hit MVP with a Colt 45 and pin him? Anything else?
The Gunns started laughing. Matt was confused.
Matt Striker
I don't get it. Did I say something funny?
Austin Gunn
You just called MVP old!
Matt shook his head at the screen and motioned for the camera to cut.
Matt Striker
No, no I didn't say that. You two tricked me into saying that.
Austin Gunn
Don't worry, we can protect you from old and baldy.
Colten Gunn
That's it! I'll hit my Colt 45 on the bald one!
Matt Striker
Okay, so Colt 45 to Bobby Lashley and then a pin?
They started laughing hysterically again.
Matt Striker
What is it now?
Colten Gunn
You called Bobby Lashley bald!
Matt Striker
He is bald! He doesn't have any hair!
Austin Gunn
Dude, it's super rude to call someone bald like that. How would you like it if Bobby called you bald?
Matt Striker
I'm not bald!
Colten Gunn
You sure Mr. Matt, sir?
Austin Gunn
Hey, I can get a number to this other Club from pops. Clear that right up.
Matt Striker covered the top of his head and ran out of frame, leaving the Gunn Club doubled over in laughter. Austin slapped Colten's back.
Austin Gunn
That was some serious shade Striker was throwing at MVP and Lashley.
Colten Gunn
It would be a shame if someone were to let them know all those things he was saying.
They both nodded knowingly.
Austin Gunn
Let's go wish those two luck tonight.
The shot faded to black as Austin and Colten Gunn left the locker room in search of MVP and Bobby Lashley.
