The cameras of Northern Pro Wrestling are greeted to a welcome or not so welcome sight, depending on what side of the fence you sit around the locker room—Chris “Trigger” Cavanagh was seated in a locker room. Trigger had a black T-Shirt with green lettering around a four leaf clover that read “Celtic Club”—each leaf of the clover had a face of each different member of the Celtic Club and his ring tights black with green lettering that read Trigger down each side of the legs. Trigger looked towards the camera, his customary annoying cracking of his piece of gum between his teeth as he began to speak.
I’ve been hearing some whispers regarding what my one guaranteed opponent has been saying about me so I figured it would be best if I went right on ahead and addressed that matter now. See, I’m a busy man, I’ve gotta lace up my boots in more than one promotion at a time—kind of got accustomed to a certain lifestyle so I gotta make sure those checks keep on coming, right? So here I am, finally addressed the miscreants of Northern Pro by way of the esteemed journalist Ronald Tremblay, and I already have my ears burning. Some little punk named Eron Hunter decided to put my name in his mouth.
Trigger pauses for a moment, nodding his head up and down slowly and contemplating where he wanted to direct the conversation next.
Sometimes people take me the wrong way, see they view my playful, almost friendly demeanor as if I don’t take the world seriously. Well, I mean, compared to my older brother that may be true but in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth. Do I joke around a bit with people and about people? Abso-fucking-lutely! Why wouldn’t I? It’s a pretty enjoyable passed time, maybe you should try it out sometime. Do I know I’m good at what I do—no, do I know that I’m one of the very best at what I do? You bet your sorry ass I do Eron. Maybe I was being a little coy, a little tongue in cheek with a journalist—maybe I wasn’t, but the fact of the matter is at the end of our match on February 2nd the result will still be the same. You will be the one that has to eat a Coup de Grace, you’ll be the one that has their shoulders pinned to the canvas for the count of three and you’ll be the one making an early exit out of the Cruiserweight Cup Tournament.
Trigger clears his throat and leans in closer to the camera.
One thing I can say about you though Eron, you're living in the present...a place I currently live in as well. It seems as if you and I are more eyes on the prize than our two counter parts in the other semi-finals matchup. While I make snarky remarks about your inabilities and you play with candles trying to prove to the world that you're not afraid of the dark we have Jay Stevens and Adrien Cochrane bickering about shit that happened almost a decade a half ago! While you and I have our sight set on making sure we take a victory in the first round and move forward to defeat whichever one of the two elder statesmen is able to be triumphant in the blast from the past bracket!
Trigger chuckles to himself, he always did find his "witty" comments to be funny.
Jay Stevens, the other hometown NPW boy trying to win the tournament for good old Gus Arnold, and "The Dropkick King" Adrien Cochrane--a man that I defeated in the past in this very tournament...sorry I was just visiting the place you guys call home. While you two may have a little bit of a blood feud built into your match up and bragging rights are on the line for the two of you in it, I have to question just how focused the two of you are at the task at hand. Does Jay Stevens have the proper midnight to make the old geezer proud? Does Adrien Cochrane have what it takes to not only overcome his blood feud but then beat the man that pinned his shoulders to mat no more than a month ago? Will Jay Stevens or Adrien Cochrane have enough left in the tank after they put their all in to besting their own past demons to even compete against me...
Trigger rolls his eyes.
or Eron, sorry kid don't want you to think I'm underestimating you again! It seems like we have a bunch of interesting stories swirling around in this tournament. Will I underestimate the King of Matches? Will the Emo Kid be able to upset Trigger Cavanagh? Will Adrien Cochrane or Jay Stevens overcome their past with the other? Will an outsider like myself or Adrien take the prize? Or will one of NPW's own like Jay or Eron take home the prize?
Trigger smirks before looking back to the camera.
I think that we ALL know the answers to the first two questions. I won't underestimate you once that bell rings Eron so you won't get your upset. The third, frankly, who gives a shit. The last two--its a clear yes an outsider will win and a no on Gus Arnold having one of his two boys do him proud! I love when I get to play the asshole and break all of the hearts in the crowd and in management. It's like this adrenaline rush, it's kind of like that high I was explaining to you guys the last time you heard from me. Hm, maybe us pro wrestlers are "gladiators" and "warriors" Eron, but I gotta say I've come to the conclusion that we are all a bunch of junkies.
Scene cuts to static.
