The video cuts in outside the Paris Las Vegas hotel, where a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower stands above us. It's later in the day now, actually, it's closer to night, as you can see.
It's the second time Thunder and Lightning have stood here (if you missed it, check out their earlier promo for GCWA's Friday Night Inferno). At that time, both Thunder & Lightning backed down from going up in the tower, deciding to stay where it's safer. But now, they've been challenged by their sponsor, Jimmy Buffett, to make their way to the top and overcome the test in front of them. Neither looks too happy with it.
Thunder - That's still a long way up.
Lightning - According to this book, it's forty-six stories up.
Thunder - We don't have to walk that, do we? That'd be a lot of stairs.
Lightning - No, there's an elevator.
Thunder - Thank God for that. So to make Mr. Buffett happy, we just have to go up there and look around?
Lightning - That's what Mr. Buffett said.
Both men stay where they are, staring upwards, thinking about what's in front of them.
Thunder - It's not fair. Major Helmet and Bug Girl could just fly up there in their spaceship, or fly higher and get a better view of Vegas. They'd have the advantage over us. I hope it's not the same at Dystopia.
Lightning - Maybe they do have an advantage. But there's one thing we have that they don't: experience.
Thunder - Wasn't Major Helmet in a War Games match?
Lightning - That doesn't count. He got carried in it. You and I, we are a lot more experienced than they are. And they may think that they're a lot braver than us and tougher than us and better looking than us, but we'll show them right now that they're wrong.
The wrestlers nod... then stay right where they are, still thinking it over.
Thunder - Mr. Buffett is counting on us. We can't let him down. We owe him too much. The world needs to see the new Wrath of the Storm and realize we're dangerous.
Lightning - We have to prove ourselves here, and then at Inferno, and then earning that tag title shot in Outsiders. We need to take Major Bug or Bug Helmet or HelGirl or whatever they're calling themselves and defeat them. They may be a couple, but we're family. We're ready.
Thunder - THUNDER!!
Lightning - LIGHTNING!!
The two men fire each other up, pounding on each other's shoulders, and start laughing. We cut away to a shot nearby, where Mr. Buffett has just finished up a set. He looks to his side.
Jimmy Buffett - Have they gone up yet? No? Well keep watching. I know they can do it. At least, I hope they can. Mr. Zybala doesn't want anyone who doesn't follow through.
Amid some applause, Mr. Buffett retakes the stage as we fade out.
