OOC: I've been watching a lot of Being The Elite recently so this is a parody... 
===================================================================
We open to YouTube. An invisible hand clicks the mouse onto the official A-List YouTube channel and we click onto the first episode of ‘Shining With The A-List’. So… where are the A-List this week? Well, the new lockdown in effect doesn’t leave for many options. We open to the warehouse that Dave owns for training purposes with wrestling ring set up. The voice of Lissandra Thomas welcomes us from behind the camera.
Lissandra: Hey everyone. Welcome to the first show of ‘Shining With the A-List’! We’ve decided to open our lives up for you, the fans of the GCWA. Now as you can see…
The camera wobbles as Lissandra makes her way up the ring steps and looks over the ropes as we see Lord Allton with his leg braces on trying out a new finisher that he has dubbed the ‘BarrySlayer’. We see Lord Allton on the floor applying a very vicious sleeper hold to some random guy wearing a Barry mask.
Lissandra: We’re starting things off...right.
Lord Allton: Ngh! Tap you son of a bitch! Fucking tap!
Dylan, Tank, Vincenzo and Dave are all standing on the apron cheering Lord Allton on as the poor shmuck locked in the BarrySlayer very quickly fades. Lissandra turns the camera to her husband and Dylan turns his attention away from the action in the ring.
Lord Allton (off camera): Give me another motherfucker. I still don’t think I’ve got this down.
Dylan: Dave, bring another schmo out. Oh, hi baby…
Lissandra: Wave to everyone on YouTube, Dylan!
Dylan: Hello YouTube!
Lissandra: So… what’s going on?
Dylan: Well as you can see… Lord Allton is testing out his new finishing finishing move– the BarrySlayer.
Lissandra turns the camera away from Dylan and back onto the action in the ring. Another man in a Barry mask has since arrived and Lord Allton quickly takes the guy down with a hard hitting clothesline, but the man gets back up so Allton hits another one. But still the man persists angering Lord Allton. As the man gets up again, Allton hits a dropkick and again the man gets up. Lord Allton looks at the guy and exasperates.
Lord Allton: (Sigh) This is where you fall down…
Dylan: Finish Him!
Lord Allton then whips the guy into the corner but from the front so the guy’s back is still facing Allton. Allton smirks and hits a Backstabber and immediately transitions into the BarrySlayer. The guy in Allton’s sleeper hold naturally does not last long at all. Lord Allton relinquishes the hold and stands up, panting.
Lord Allton: BILL! WATER!
Bill, Lord Allton’s support worker comes up onto the ring apron, handing Allton a bottle of water. Allton notices Lissandra holding the camera and makes his way over, after glugging some water down.
Lissandra: Say hi to YouTube, Rob!
Allton: Hey.
Lissandra: So…? How’s the new move working out?
Allton: **Pant** Yeah. I think I’m getting it. How’d it look?
Lissandra: Brutal.
Dylan: Yeah. Absolutely.
Lord Allton smiles a genuine smile, looking into the camera.
Lord Allton: I hope you lot liked it out there too. Right! Another one!
Lord Allton waves to the camera heading back into the centre of the ring waiting for a new ‘opponent’ as Lissandra turns the camera back onto Dylan.
Lissandra: Baby… it’s time for the obligatory ‘Kayfabe’ portion of the video.
Lissandra turns the camera back on herself and both her and Dylan wink into camera.
Lissandra: So… Alessandro Quagliaterre.
Dylan: Who?
Lissandra: Alessandro Quagliaterre. Made his debut against Warthog last week – your opponent for this week?
Dylan: Oh him.
Dylan turns his full body to face the camera and smirks.
Dylan: I’m going to go out on a whim here, and do something shocking: Break kayfabe! The year of 2020 didn’t exactly go the way of Dylan Thomas, I’ll grant you Alice. Can I call you Alice? Well I’m going to.
Dylan shrugs.
Dylan: But 2020 was a bitch of a year for most people. But 2021 is going to be different and it starts with you. I refuse to be stuck in this rut for 2021. And you claim that ‘nobody is perfect’. Well shock, horror! It’s a goddamn TV persona. ‘No gimmicks?’ ‘what you see is what you get’ with you, huh? Let me let you in on a little secret Alice: The whole fucking wrestling business is a gimmick! Pro-wrestling as we know it today started in the 19th century with matches being fixed. To say that you have no gimmick in something that is a gimmick in its entirety is ludicrous… or...Oh! No, no… I get it. You saying you ‘have no gimmick’ IS your gimmick! Very coy. We’ve started up this YouTube channel to give people the chance to see the people behind the A-List, the REAL A-List. I’m sure there are people out there that think that the A-List are assholes and well… yeah that was the point. We are. On TV.
Dylan smirks.
Anyway let’s see what else you said… I’m a dumpster fire, I’m trash… **yawn** Seriously? Is that your best Alice? Goddamn if that’s what it takes for you to promo these days… I’ve heard that so many times over the years that ugh… it’s making me sleepy… Right Lissie?
Lissandra can be heard giggling from behind the camera.
I tell you what, after I beat you on Friday Night Alice… not only will I have shown you how to wrestle properly because I mean… well your footwork against Warthog needed some work, dude… but I’ll show you how to talk properly. I mean yeah… you talk sure… But damn if you didn’t say what everyone in the business has said a million times over. Though, I will say this: I thought I had bratty asshole down. Kudos.
Well anyway when Friday Night Inferno rolls around and the world sees me beat you the stock of the A-List is going to hit the stratosphere because as much as the people hate Dylan Thomas… they buy their tickets to see Dylan Thomas. The people love the A-List – even though they hate the A-List. Our debut episode of Shining With the A-List is going to bring the GCWA some much needed numbers. Sure, Inferno is awesome and everything but what else do the GCWA have really? Chelsea LeClair’s show? Well not so much these days huh? Dylan and Lissandra Thomas have been in the GCWA since August 2019 and we have single handily been providing the GCWA with views since its return.
The War Games match at last year’s Heatwave was the most anticipated match of the summer. It was named match of the month and was a candidate for Match of the Year. I’m pretty sure had the Righteous Rumble not happened, then we would have certainly won Match of the Year. But hell… the Righteous Rumble was great so… I’m getting off topic here.
Point is: This iteration of the GCWA wouldn’t survive without us and they know it too. Sure, Legacy are at the forefront but that’s because everyone in Legacy is in the pants of Deana Barrows.
Lord Allton has finished his training of his new finisher and comes over to Dylan and Lissandra just as Dylan says the words ‘Deana Barrows’. Lissandra turns the camera back onto Lord Allton.
Lord Allton: ….Something that Barry no longer is.
Allton winks at the camera.
Allton: Although, I must admit… I wouldn’t mind. Deana… call me.
Allton does the phone to his ear hand gesture as he climbs out of the ring and back into his wheelchair, allowing Bill to remove his leg braces. Lissandra turns the camera back to Dylan who shakes his head at Allton.
But, Alice… tell me something. You say that you’re a good guy that the fans cheer for but then you say that the fans boo you in your entrance? You either get booed or you get cheered. Both doesn’t really work. Oh sure, it happens but you can’t call yourself a baby-face if you also want to be booed. Make your mind up dude. Actually while I’m on that… that goes for three quarters of the GCWA roster right now. Make your mind up as to where you fit into the alignment. It makes wrestling work better.
Dylan smirks at the camera.
Where was I? Oh yeah. Alice when we climb into the ring on Inferno you’re getting dropped onto your stomach with my Perfect Finisher. Although do me a favour? Don’t eat beforehand I don’t need you puking over such a perfect specimen. See you at the show.
Lissandra turns the camera back onto herself and smiles.
Lissandra: And that ladies and gents is called a promo. Hahaha… Let’s go see who else is around.
Dave is over by the door where the nameless cannon fodder Barry-masked guys were coming from and stares into the camera.
Lissandra: Say hello David!
Dave: Hello David.
Lissandra: Always a comedian this one…
Dave says nothing and Lissandra walks the camera over to Tank and Vincenzo who have been watching the action unfold. Tank waves into the camera and Vincenzo smiles.
Lissandra: Hi guys.
Vincenzo: Wassup Mrs T?
Lissandra: So… how do you think Rob did with his new finisher boys?
Vincenzo: He’s ready for Barry.
Tank nods.
Vincenzo: By the way… when this pandemic shit is over and done with, come down to my restaurant ‘Larossia’s’ in Little Italy NYC and have yourself some proper food cooked by true Sicilians! 20% off your first bill with us the promo code – what is it, Mrs T?
Lissandra: ‘A-List’.
Vincenzo: Fuck! I missed that advertisement up…
Tank smiles as the Lord of Dashing wheels over with Bill in tow.
Allton: Lissie…
Lissandra: Hi Rob. Bill.
Bill waves into the camera. Lord Allton smiles.
Allton: Dylan needs you, dear. Bill take the camera.
Lissandra hands the camera to Bill who films Lord Allton.
Allton: Well everyone…. Thank-you for joining us for the debut episode of Shining With The A-List. Tune into Friday Night Inferno as you see Dylan Thomas kick the ass of Alessandro Quagmire and – what?
Vincenzo whispers off camera that it’s ‘Quagliaterre’.
Allton: That’s what I said.
The camera shakes as if we are shaking our heads and Allton smiles.
Allton: I’m English. I’ll never understand you Americans and your weird names.
Allton winks.
Allton: Join the Official A-List Youtube channel and subscribe. We’ll catch you soon. Next time Hood joins us!
The screen goes black.
