The night has fallen, and the population at the Arlington Dave and Buster's location is starting to accumulate. Working Joes are coming in to enjoy a beer and some wings, while father and son combos enjoy some sports on TV or partake in some arcade games. As the room is scanned, we see two figures at the Pop a Shot machines who turn out to be Marcus Ryan and Samuel Hale. The two appear to be locked into a sort of competition, and the score looks fairly even. Ryan pulls away, and Hale looks somewhat confused as he stares at his conqueror.
That's three in a row, you've spent way too much time at this game. The question I still have though, why the Hell are we here? You said this would help us in our match at No Holds Barred, but unless they've changed our match to include this game then I don't really get it. Care to explain?
Well, if we win our match we get shots at Death Sentence and their titles. So, I figure if we could get really good at Pop a Shot, then winning a title shot should be a piece of cake. Don't you agree?
Hale turns and stares at Ryan, who just shrugs and gives him a "What?" look.
Wait wait wait, you're telling me that you think the key to us winning the gauntlet match is playing a game at Dave and Busters?
Pretty brilliant, I bet none of the other teams thought of that either. We're the only one doing this, so we've got an advantage.
Of course the other teams aren't doing this, BECAUSE IT'S A STUPID IDEA! We should be at the training center working on mat work and strategy, yet you stuck us here at some freaking arcade gallery shooting miniature basketballs like we are in some sort of twisted Vince Russo nightmare!
Hey, WCW was a good product until they went under. That was David Arquette's fault anyway, I mean why would you ever put the biggest title in your company on him? That'd be like that huge company in Connecticut putting their belts on some guys just because some people backstage liked them, instead of them actually showing some real ring finesse and talent.
Ryan throws a couple quarters into the machine, and starts up another game. Hale just stands there with hands on his hips shaking his head.
OK, you know I respect you. Otherwise I would have beat your ass and left you alone a long time ago. At the same time, you've got to keep your focus on what is reality. Not this hokey outside crap, like shooting baskets. Granted, I've got no doubt that the spares we are facing will go down like a sack of bricks, and with the gauntlet format if we draw a lucky number it makes it all the easier. I mean come on, our competition is a couple of stoners, two fatasses who would rather fight for a shot of Jack Daniels than a tag title shot, a couple of guidos that are too busy wearing chains and smoking reefer to worry about real wrestling, and a couple of bravado boasting idiots who will shock me if they can even find the arena on Saturday. While we have this in hand, you've got to know we have to avoid TCUing this thing. You follow?
Sounds good.
Hale walks off, and through the doors. Ryan follows, but realizes that he is still carrying a ball from the game in his hand. He looks at the machine, a good twenty yards away, sets and shoots the ball before walking off. The ball arcs high, and right as Ryan walks out the door the ball swishes through.
