The Ending:
Inside of an empty ring at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana - a talk show set up has been rigged. On a fancy rug are multiple chairs and tables holding water. A production assistant finishes moving one of the chairs just a bit when NLW’s premier interviewer Kelly Ross steps in to the ring.
Kelly Ross: I think we’re all set. How does everything look? How do I look?
Kelly is clearly flustered and the production assistant picks up on it.
PA: Nervous?
Kelly Ross: A little, yeah. We left on good terms the last time I interviewed the New South but we didn’t really get off on the best foot when they first got here so...yeah, that kind of stays in the back of my mind.
PA: Well, try to breathe it out, because they’re here.
The New South: Waylon Kirk, Beau Traywick and Jolene step in to the ring and look at the set and Kelly Ross. There’s a clear tension emanating from Kelly as Jolene - once so quick to intimidate her makes eye contact.
Jolene: Kelly, you look great.
Waylon Kirk: You really do, you’re a vision.
Beau Traywick: It’s been too long.
Kelly lets out an audible sigh of relief. The New South picks up on this and all chuckle before taking their seats.
Waylon Kirk: Let’s just clear the air right off the bat - we’ve been...how should I put this delicately?
Jolene: Dicks?
Beau Traywick: Assholes?
Waylon Kirk: Yeah, both of those honestly. We’ve been really shitty to you is the point. Well, we’re starting off on a new foot here. We’re here to answer your questions about Homecoming, the End and the NLW Tag Team titles.
Beau Traywick: Anything you’ve got, just hit us with it.
Jolene: Three open books.
Kelly Ross beams with excitement for this opportunity for a tense free, productive interview. She take her seat across from the New South.
Kelly Ross: Well, New South, here we are. A few days out from your historic match with Scott Fargo and Mehrunes Smith, The End. What kind of thoughts and emotions are running through your heads right now as you prepare?
Waylon Kirk: If I can go first, I’d say there’s a lot of nerves of course. A lot of excitement. Some jitters for sure.
Beau Traywick: Definitely. We’ve been in NLW for almost a year now and when we got here, there wasn’t really a tag team division to speak of. It took almost a month to have a match with another tag team and that was the Academy, led by the NLW heavyweight champion at the time, Leon Chant. We didn’t walk out victorious that night but the funny thing was we had to beat the Academy, once again led by NLW heavyweight champion Leon Chant. Only this time, we had our hands raised and advanced to the finals.
Kelly Ross: I can only imagine that a win like that - especially over a team that had come out on top before was enough to give you a massive confidence boost going in to Homecoming II?
Waylon Kirk: For sure. Beating a few teams to get to this point where we’re on the precipice is a morale boost. Beating a team that had one on us already was big. But beating a team with someone the likes of Leon Chant? I mean, that’s like a shot in the ass of adrenaline.
Kelly Ross: What about your Homecoming opponents, The End? What’s going through your mind as you get ready for what is easily the most important matches of your career?
Beau Traywick: Strategy is a big part of it. We know that we’re going to meet two men who want an all out war. As I sit here, I don’t know what’s more important to Fargo & Smith. On one hand, I’m sure they’d love to be the first tag team champions. On the other though, they seem like the kind of guys whose pants get a little tighter when they’re hurting someone.
Waylon Kirk: Totally. These guys don’t care about gold half as much as they do blood and guts. They want carnage and destruction. And just like we told them last week. When it comes to going to war, we’re fine with that. Beau and I aren’t afraid to shed some blood to win - whether it’s ours or theirs. We’re going to throw everything we’ve got at them. Every move, hold, lock, kick, punch, slap. If we don’t walk out of that ring with the belts then we must not be breathing.
Kelly Ross: Anything you’d say directly to The End?
Jolene: I’d tell them to get ready. My mom used to tell me to pack a lunch and bring a snack if I was going to start some shit so I’d highly recommend the same for them.
Waylon Kirk: I’d just say to keep your heads on a swivel. This isn’t just any old match to us - this is our destiny.
Beau Traywick: I’d probably just say f*** both of y’all. Boos or cheers don’t mean a damn thing this weekend. We want a win. We want the titles and at the end of the day you’re standing in our way. We are going to be a tornado coming at you.
Kelly Ross: Guys, thank you for your time and good luck this weekend.
The New South get up and shake hands with Kelly Ross as the scene fades to black.
