The Righteous Rumble. The chance for Perfection Personified to become Number One Contender again. Dylan’s shot against Ed Houston didn’t exactly pan out to plan. But this...all Dylan has to do is last out against a few other assholes and then he’ll get his shot. Easy...right? After all, Big Dave is going to be out there with him: The A-List are entering the Rumble as a team. Dave wouldn’t let anything happen to Dylan. Like we said… Easy. Right?
We join our favourite A-List couple on the way to some TV studios. They have an interview, but who’s it with this time? Lissandra strangely won’t say…
Dylan: Come on baby! Tell me, who is interviewing us this time?
Lissandra: Ssh.
Dylan: Baby… I can’t prepare for an interview on live TV if I don’t know who it is doing the interview!
Lissandra: Don’t worry, honey. It’s in hand. Now… I’ve talked to Dave and he said that he’s going to meet us at the studios. He wants to do the interview with you.
Dylan: Dave? Doing an interview? That doesn’t sound like the big man. He’s not exactly Personality Personified is he?
Dylan smirks at this causing Lissandra to turn and look at her husband properly.
Lissandra: Was that a dig at our Dave?
Dylan brushes this off.
Dylan: Of course not! You know I love Dave. He’s my boy. You know that, baby.
Lissandra eyes her husband suspiciously, but still with a smirk on her face.
Dylan: Banter baby. Nothing but banter.
Lissandra: Mmm sure… sure.
George continues to drive the A-List couple to the studios and eventually they see it. Renowned Irish talk show host Graham Norton has moved his show The Graham Norton Show to America for one show only and the only guests that he wanted on his show was The A-List!
Dylan: Graham Norton? Really? Graham Norton? That British fop?
Lissandra: Irish but on British TV.
Dylan: Same difference.
Lissandra: Well… not really. But this time, it’s different baby.
Dylan: What do you mean different?
Lissandra: He’s asked for the A-List…directly.
Dylan: What?
Lissandra: That’s right. He’s doing a One-Night-Only Graham Norton show…here in America and the only guests that he’s asked for is...us. Heh. Bribery goes a long way.
Lissandra winks at her man and suddenly everything falls into place for Dylan. They pull up to the TV studios to see Dave’s black Mercedes waiting for them. He flashes his headlights and George pulls up alongside Dave’s car. The trio climb out of their respective cars and Dylan and Dave fist bump while Lissandra and Dave share a hug. Lissandra then takes the lead through the studio doors and the boys follow.
Lissandra: Right then… so it’s like this. Graham has asked that I go and talk to him before the interview just to set everything straight. You two can wait in the green room though. I won’t be long. Graham! Darling! We’re here!
Dave and Dylan nod and the A-List couple share a kiss and Lissandra walks off, phone to ear, while Dylan and Dave are directed to the green room by a backstage attendant. Dylan slops himself down on the sofa that’s in the room while Dave remains standing.
Dylan: Dude… I gotta talk to you.
Dylan’s tone of voice wasn’t his usual laid back cockiness – instead it was one of unsure intent. This causes Dave to raise his eyebrow. Dave removes his sunglasses peering down at Dylan.
Dave: Yeah? What’s up?
Dylan: Bro… you know I love you right?
Dave: What’s up?
Dave is certainly unsure where things are going now but waits patiently regardless.
Dylan: You and I… we’re entering the Rumble as a unit. I just wanted to make sure that you’re still going to go out there and do the right thing. You know… help me win.
Dave smirks down at Dylan and sits down on the sofa next to him.
Dave: Of course, brother. You’ve got to become the next GCWA World Heavyweight Champ. Do you really think that after all of these years – after all these years of watching your back away from the ring and now inside of it – that I would REALLY turn on you for the sake of Championship gold? I told ya, when I took the bodyguard gig for ya that the championship side of things didn’t bother me. I mean the tag gold a while back would have been nice to have the tag titles a while back but you know you’re the athlete – I ain’t a wrestler, technically Dyl. I’m just doing what I do best – legally this time.
Dylan: What do you mean by that?
Dave smiles.
Dave: Never mind. But have no fear… I’m in the Rumble for you.
Dave pats a relieved Dylan on the back just as Lissandra walks through the door. Dylan and Dave stand up.
Lissandra: Graham’s ready. Are you boys?
Dylan: Yeah baby.
Dave: Yup.
The trio then head out of the Green Room and wait to be announced by Graham Norton. Backstage they can hear Norton getting ready to introduce his guests for the evening.
Graham: You know… It’s simply wonderful to once again be here in the good ol’ US of A for a one off show. Perhaps if this show goes well, we’ll make a more permanent relocation to America hahahaha. ANYWAY...Tonight’s guests are a trio of people who have made waves in the GCWA since joining. Ladies and gentlemen… Dylan and Lissandra Thomas as well as their associate David Branson… from the GCWA… The A-List!
Graham claps ecstatically as his guests for the evening walk out, waving to the crowd. The crowd are torn though. Some cheer yet some know exactly what Dylan and Dave have been doing in recent weeks so can’t help but boo. As they make their way over to Graham Norton, Graham and Lissandra kiss cheeks and Dylan and Dave shake his hand briefly before breaking out some sanitizer. Graham briefly does the same and the four press on with the interview.
Graham: You know guys… I just had to have you three here as my first guests here in America so, thank-you so much for agreeing.
Lissandra: Thank-you Graham for choosing us as your first guests on your show tonight.
Graham: Now Dylan… Lissie… you guys have been in the GCWA for how long now?
Dylan: It’s uh…
Dylan looks at Lissandra who nods.
Dylan: Yeah, it’s been about a year and a half – give or take.
Lissandra: August 2019 we joined.
Graham: And Dave… you came a bit later on isn’t that right?
Dave: November of 2019.
Graham: But you’ve all known each other for much longer than that, isn’t that right? Now Dave...Dylan you guys are entering into what was it? The Righteous Rumble? What does that entail?
Dylan: Well… It’s very simple Graham. There’s a bunch of us in the ring, and we battle it out until there’s only one man left standing. And the winner of the Righteous Rumble – you’re already looking at – it’ll be me Dylan Thomas.
Graham: Well… I’ve always wanted to see this… Dylan do you think we can see a true blue wrestling promo from you?
Dylan smirks and nods his head.
Graham: Search out camera 2 for me.
Dylan: Sure. The Righteous Rumble is one of GCWA’s most prestigious events of the calendar year. So what better winner than me? Dylan Thomas? When the big guy and I head out of that curtain on Sunday Night we’re going to throw the lot of you over the ropes until there’s only two men left standing – myself and Big Dave. But Dave, I know, is going to do the right thing and allow me to win the rumble and once again become the Number One Contender for the GCWA title. I know what everyone in that rumble is thinking when they see me – Mike Zybala especially - “Dylan…. you’re gonna fail at the final hurdle. You always do… You always have.” But you see… what not one of you realise is that I’m all the more hungry. Zybala you and I… we are by no means done. I left beating the shit out of you back when you invaded the A-List locker room to visit our good friend Lord Allton because Allton didn’t want me to cause a scene. The best part of all this is...Rumbles are all about scenes and spectacles! So know that Dylan Thomas is coming for you first and not only am I going to make sure that YOU don’t win the Rumble but I’m going to prove to the world that Dylan Thomas really is GCWA’s leading man.
When I finally win the Righteous Rumble and I dispose of every other entrant… Well you will all see – ALL of you – that Dylan Thomas really is the force to be reckoned with that he says he is. I’m the best damn pure athlete on the GCWA roster and as my theme song states: It’s time to Watch Me Shine!
The crowd whoop and holler as Graham claps again seemingly impressed.
Graham: Fantastic! Just fantastic! Dave can we get one from you as well? Oh wait. I’m just being told that we have to cut to commercial break. We’ll be right back!
