The shot fades in outside the GCWA Arena in Dallas, Texas. Thunder walks in from the side, striking a vicious flex in front of the camera.
Thunder - THUNDER!!
There is silence.
Thunder - ... THUNDER!!
Still silence. Thunder looks around, then off to the side. He starts walking, with the cameraman following him. We reach a small ledge nearby, where Lightning is sitting, his legs dangling off the ledge as he looks out.
Thunder - Didn't you hear me, bro? It's time to get Pumped Up!!
Lightning doesn't say anything. He keeps looking off into the distance.
Thunder - Dude... what's wrong? We need to get hyped! We get to fight the former GCWA North American Champion and an OCW Hall of Famer on Friday! We have to be ready to give them our best stuff!
Lightning slowly shakes his head.
Lightning - I just don't see the point, Phil.
Thunder looks nervously towards the camera.
Thunder - It's... THUNDER!!
Lightning - ...
Thunder, finally realizing that the promo isn't going to happen, takes a seat next to his partner.
Thunder - Seriously, Gene, what's up?
Lightning - Have you walked the streets here, Phil?
Thunder - Of Dallas? Sure.
Lightning - I mean, recently. That tornado... it did a lot of damage, didn't it? Lives were lost.
Thunder - I know! If we had stayed any longer watching the Cowboys game, who knows what would have happened?
Lightning - And here we are... trying to call ourselves the Wrath of the Storm... doesn't it feel... disrespectful?
Thunder - ... But we've always been Thunder and Lightning! We're a team!
Lightning - Maybe we were. But I don't want the people of Dallas, those suffering, to be reminded of what they went through. I don't want that at all.
Lightning suddenly gets up and walks away, heading for the parking garage, or in that direction at least. Thunder looks after him.
Thunder: But... THUNDER!!
Lightning doesn't stop walking away. Thunder, deeply concerned now, hurries after his partner, trying to talk some sense into him. But the Wrath of the Storm... may be over.
