Well our hero finally managed to roll his lazy ass out of bed and get changed. he's now in his semi-trademark casual look of his "Obey Giant" T-shirt, jeans, his sneakers, black bandana and a denim jacket. Jayde and him were hungry so that set out into the windy city of Chicago for someplace to find something to eat... They found a Taco Bell... so anyway they are in there scarfing down some quasi-Mexican food and discussing some random stuff, and eventually the topic turns to the upcoming match... as always (What? I can't ignore the elephant in the room anymore.)
Reid takes a bite out of his quasadilla and washes it down with a sip of Diet Pepsi (Bottled... Reid doesn't trust those "Fountain drinks") and Jayde sets her taco down on the wrapper it came in.
Jayde - So I hear the rumour around the POW locker room is that Lestat and his lady friends are getting a little ticked off that you haven't been mentioning him in your interviews and he feels that you're underestimating him.
Reid looks a Jayde for a second... slowly chewing another bit of his food. He swallows and sets the piece of food down.
Reid - What interviews? I haven't down my interview yet... I was sleeping for crying out loud... I can't do interviews when I'm sleeping...
Jayde - Well actually you do kind of talk in your sleep...
Reid - ...Really?
Jayde smiles and picks her taco for another bite.
Reid - Hm... I say anything interesting when I'm talking in my sleep?
Jayde looks around at the other patrons of the "restaurant" and she leans in... as does Reid.
Jayde - I'll tell you later when we're in someplace a little more... private.
Reid's eyebrows rise a bit with that comment.
Reid - That bad huh?
Jayde reveals a coy smile as she speaks.
Jayde - That Good...
Reid just slowly lifts his quasadilla to his mouth and takes a bite... the expression on his face not changing. Jayde giggles a little. Reid shakes the cobwebs out of his head.
Reid - Anyway! What are these "Interviews" that Lestat is rambling on about?
Jayde - I really don't know, I just heard it from Greg when I called in about my interview schedule for this week.
Reid - I think Lestat has finally gone - how do you say... "Cuckoo for Coco-Puffs," in other words he's flipped.
Jayde - Now, that's not very nice. Lestat is a good guy. He was one of the only guys that really congratulated you when you won all your belts.
Reid takes another drink of his Diet Pepsi.
Reid - Hey, I'm not saying that he isn't a good guy but I know what it's like to hold double gold then lose it... It really makes an impact on you psychologically.
Jayde - Maybe, I myself have only ever held one title so I don't know.
Reid - Yeah, I do though... This Triple Crown isn't the first time I've held double gold. Some time ago... Hell I can't even recall the year. I was the holder of both the United States and Television Championship in a promotion known as PWF - Well technically it was a branch of the AWA at the time, then like that song by The Vapors it "Turned Japanese" and became a branch of Pro Wrestling Zero-One before finally striking out on it's own and became the PWF. Anyway my point is that when the company broke out on it's own I was striped of my titles... Sure it's not the exact same as losing them like Lestat did... but it still holds similar trauma...
It might explain why Lestat has been imagining that I've been cutting these promos and what not but what he needs to understand is that I don't underestimate anybody... at least I don't try to. When I underestimate people I tend to lose so I don't do that anymore.
Jayde laughs a little bit.
Jayde - That's a good strategy. No doubt Lestat is going to be pulling out all the stops and will try and take you down.
Reid - Yeah, This will be his Proving Grounds all right, but he's got to know that I'm going to half ass this match because of something as simple as that I'm a the Triple Crown champion and he isn't. I ALWAYS go full tilt into every match. Whether it was at Reckless Abandon when I won the Belts, or way back when I defeated Dan Real in my POW debut... I always give it 100% and with Lestat hanging around with Fire he should already know that... Fire has teamed with me once in the past. She knows that I don't screw around.
I'm bringing my best this week - as usual. So if Lestat is thinking this is going to be the big upset that launches him into super-stardom then I'm sorry but he's greatly mistaken... My time of being the "enhancement talent" and putting people over and making people famous is done. This is our time Jayde... If Lestat - or anyone wants to dethrone me then they better muster every ounce of Power, Courage and Wisdom they can...
Jayde cuts Reid off.
Jayde - Wait...
Reid - What?
Jayde - Did you just make a "Legend of Zelda" reference?
Reid - Too corny?
Jayde shakes her head and smiles.
Jayde - Nope... you good at pulling off corny.
Reid - Radical... Anyway like I said they better bring EVERYTHING to the table because I won't give up without one hell of a fight.
Jayde begins to chuckle and Reid tilts his head in a joint expression of confusion and frustration.
Reid - What now?
Jayde - Nothing... I just wished I had a microphone... that rant would have been PERFECT for your interview this week.
Reid blinks twice and slams his head down onto the table, luckily Jayde pulled the food out of the way at the last second to avoid Reid making a big mess. Jayde giggles again.
Reid - You know Jayde...
Jayde stops laughing and looks at Reid who's face is still laying on the table.
Reid - I don't think we need to worry about doing a pre-tape this week...
Jayde - Why?
Reid - It's the wonderful world of wrestling Jayde... They SEE everything... and besides... Fire is sitting over there...
Jayde looks around and she notices Fire, who is visibly upset about something.
Jayde - Oh my God... Reid, I'm going to go over and see what's wrong okay?
Reid, whose head is STILL plastered to the table lifts up on arm and gives the thumbs up. Jayde smiles and stands up and walks over to where Fire is. Meanwhile Omega enters the establishment and walks over to Reid and sits down hard on the cheap chair... nearly breaking it.
Omega - HEY!
Reid sits up and looks at Omega.
Omega - What the HELL was that?
Reid looks over to where Jayde had moved his food.
Reid - Well it WAS a Chicken Quasadilla... now it's... well a piece of a Chicken Quesadilla.
Omega slams his fists on the table.
Omega - No Jackass! I meant in that match with Shawn Stevens. Did you use MY Chokeslam to beat him?!
Reid - No... I used my Chokeslam... You weren't in the match.
Omega is seething, he knows Reid is messing with him.
Omega - Where you trying to show me up by using my move?
Reid - Dude... Calm down, look the opening came up for a Chokeslam and I used it. Big deal. What did you want me to do, waste my chance and trying for something else.
Reid grins a bit.
Reid - Besides... you should be honoured that something from your arsenal was linked to gold for once.
Omega - Oh HA HA! You won't be laughing when I take your titles Reck.
Reid - Two things Storm, one go take a damn chill pill and second go win a match before you challenge me for my titles.
Omega - I won my match LAST WEEK!
Reid tilts his head and nods.
Reid - Hm... winning a title with only one win under your belt worked for Dan Harvey... Omega, go cry to Jay Nitro for a title match like everyone else.
Omega - I will!
Omega gets up and stomps out of the building just as Jayde returns. She sits down at the table.
Jayde - Was that Omega?
Reid - Yep!
Jayde - What did he want?
Reid - What else? A Title Match... How's Fire?
Jayde - I don't know... She wouldn't talk to me then she took off again.
Reid just grins at the whole thing.
Reid - Angst... Gotta Love it.
Jayde returns the grin.
Jayde - Definetly...
