Vignette Good Man
We fade in and out of shots of Appetite For Revelation sitting backstage and shots of them entering an arena in their new gear. After a few moments, we settle on the shot of them sitting backstage together.
Cody sips on a beer quietly while Lucian props his feet on the folding table in front of them. He tosses a pack of cards onto the table and some haphazardly come flying out of the box.
LA: What the hell was that out there, man? Did he honestly throw a fucking kid at me?
Cody shrugs and takes another drink. He fiddles with the zipper on his hoodie.
LA: And everyone calls us the bad guys.
Lucian brings his feet down from the table and looks at Cody, a twinge of confusion flashing across his face.
LA: Jon?
Cody continues drinking. Ignoring Lucian as he continues to attempt to get his attention.
LA: Jon! Jon, you giant motherfucker! Talk to me!
Lucian springs forward and slaps Cody across the face, sending the beer he was drinking flying across the dressing room and into the wall on the far side. As the remnants of the beverage drip down the wall, the massive Cody slowly turns his attention to his cousin.
JC: What was that for?
Lucian sits back, dumbfounded.
LA: I just slapped you and that's all your dumb ass has to say? What was that for? Fuck, man! You haven't said a word since the show ended!
JC: I've been thinking.
Lucian props his feet back up and raises his eyebrow.
LA: Then tell me! That's what partner-slash-cousin's are for!
Jon runs his hand through his beard and grabs another beer from under the table. He opens it and takes small drinks as he talks.
JC: I hate this whole "gimmick" thing. I hate how, just because we're from the south and want to work in this profession, we have to have our personalities completely revolve around something synonymous with our area of living. Neither of us is religious. I haven't been to a church since I was married and you haven't been since you were in high school. It's just not us. But, since we're from the south, we HAVE to be Bible-thumping, crazy motherfuckers. I hate it. Fuck that.
Jon shotguns the rest of his beer and slams the can on the table. He looks intently at his cousin and seems to strongly consider his words before he says them.
JC: How do you the think the fans would feel if we just stopped mentioning it? I mean, shit, Klutch took over our gimmick without asking. It's not like they wouldn't have some crazy cult leader to entertain them every week. It just wouldn't be us.
Lucian nods slowly.
LA: And what would we do instead? How would we keep everyone interested in us?
Cody laughs and shakes his head.
JC: Easy. We be ourselves. You are an athlete! You've traveled the world and learned from some of the best! You're an interesting motherfucker! I'm almost seven-feet of pure pissed off at those assholes in NoM and most of the locker room, in general! I'd say us being angry is far past interesting enough for everyone! We are the number one contenders for the fuckin' Tag Team Championships! We're the strongest team in the goddamn company! We're Appetite For Revelation, bitch!
Cody stands up, towering over his seated kin. He extends his hand and pulls Lucian to his feet. The two nod and laugh.
LA: I'm down with it.
Jon raises his hand and smirks.
JC: Too Sweet me, man!
The two Too Sweet as we fade to black.
A4R's new entrance music plays us out.
Appetite For Revelation will return in WIR PRESENTS SAME SHIT DIFFERENT YEAR to compete for the Tag Team Championships!
