(The pair of Harper Hill and Miss Fortune step into the conference room, and make their way up to the recently vacated podium. Both are dressed identically in their GBH t-shirts and jean shorts, just like in their recent promo. Smirks on each of their faces as Harper speaks into the microphone.)
HARPER HILL: Alright, your next GPC World Tag Team Champions are here. Who wants to ask us the first question?
SPORTING NEWS JAPAN: Harper, what do you think are your chances in Tag-Team-Tropolis this year?
(Harper looks at Miss Fortune, who just shakes her head in disbelief.)
HARPER HILL: Was that not clear enough when we announced ourselves as the NEXT GPC World Tag Team Champions? Yeah, we like our chances. Tell you what, fellas, if that’s the sorta question we’re gonna get then we’re gonna do this a bit differently. You wanna be the reporter or the future tag champion?
(She asks her partner, as Miss Fortune thinks for a moment.)
MISS FORTUNE: You can be the reporter.
HARPER HILL: Alright then. Harper Hill here with We Don’t Think You Stand A Chance Magazine. How do two wrestlers barely out their rookie year think they even have a chance in a tournament like this?
(Harper steps back, allowing her partner to answer the ‘question’.)
MISS FORTUNE: It is simple. They underestimate us. They think their victory is all but assured. They boast about what they have done all around the world, and their, uh, success in these tournaments. But they do not know what GBH can do.
HARPER HILL: What GBH can do?!
(The sarcasm is almost palpable.)
HARPER HILL: But you haven’t won any major tournaments! You’ve only been tag champs in some ‘developmental’ company. How are you gonna compete against the best in the world?
MISS FORTUNE: We do not fail…
(She states, with a shrug of the shoulders.)
MISS FORTUNE: We do not miss. The other eleven teams in Tag-Team-Tropolis all have the same goal. The Renjas think the same thing as dPEEg: that they will be leaving Tokyo as the new GPC Tag Team Champions. The Cats of Peace, the Dogs of War. Shootcamp, Error #404. Small Boob Wrecking – although we do appreciate the shout out. But you will not avenge that Hudson Cup match, Annie. They all focus on who they want to face. Who they want to beat. Who they want to put on the best match possible.
HARPER HILL: You don’t wanna put on the best match possible for the NJFC fans!?
(Miss Fortune giggles behind a raised hand, and shakes her head.)
MISS FORTUNE: Our matches? Our victories? They are not always….uh, pretty. We do not torque limbs, or break fingers. We do not fly like eagles. But we get, uh, the job done. And our opponents, Jack Stanton and Zombie Black for instance. They will realise that just before the lights are turned off. The NJFC fans will realise that when we unhook those belts on the final night, and become GPC World Tag Team Champions. When, for the first time ever, new champions are crowned.
HARPER HILL: Well that all sounds well and good, Miss Fortune. If that is your real name!
(Fortune can’t help but smirk as her partner takes the same cheap shot other opponents have in the past.)
HARPER HILL: But this rough and ready, smashmouth style you and your great, amazing, gorgeous tag team partner–
MISS FORTUNE: She is, yes.
HARPER HILL: –I know. But is that style gonna take you all the way?
MISS FORTUNE: It take us as far as we need. Any further? We can, uh, how do you say…take the low road?
(Both members of GBH smirk as they look out across the sea of reporters.)
HARPER HILL: That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. We’re gonna scratch, bite, and claw our way to those titles. Hell or high water, or when you lot ain’t even looking at us. When you’re too busy dreaming up matches against the other teams in this tournament. GBH will swoop in, and take you out. We’ll take what we came here for, and there ain’t nothing anybody here can do about it!
(With that, the member of GBH walk away from the podium hand in hand, looking rather pleased with themselves as they go.)
