Sutton slides his arm around his main squeeze, Lillie Mae who has the NAW Horizon Championship draped over her shoulder. They are sitting on the tailgate with some Sam’s Choice in the cooler. Nanook, Sutton’s agent steps into the picture facing the camera.
“My guy Sutton right here…..” Nanook says as he motions towards the Horizon champion.
“He told you Jack that you weren’t going to beat him. He told ya and you refused to listen to him and in the end, Sutton did what he said he was going to do. Lay you out in middle of that ring and walk out as your Horizon Championship. Now Sutton here. He hears the whispers, he’s a modest man. He knows that someone in that locker room is looking at him, listening to him and thinking, I can beat that guy and by all means, please step forward and throw your hat in the ring.”
Sutton reaches in the cooler and pulls out 2 root beers.
“I want to make this abundantly clear. While Sutton is here to win championships and run rough shot over the NAW, he is also here for a good challenge. As Stan Hansen said in his hall of fame speech last year, all he needed was a good opponent and Sutton here, he’s looking for a good opponent. The Jack Jeckel’s, John Blade’s and the Danny Hawkins of the NAW just isn’t cutting it. What is the sense of having a championship if there isn’t one guy in the company to push you. This isn’t a knock on Edrick, he’s putting everyone he can find in front of Sutton, it’s just that the guys that get in that ring to face Sutton….”
Nanook pauses and shrugs.
“Their not championship material. The promotion machine of the NAW try their best to build up these guys who get to face Sutton but they can do only just so much. Listen, I shouldn’t say this because when Sutton wins, I get a cut of the winning purse being his agent and all, but I want to see someone in the NAW to beat Sutton and I know there is someone here who can do that, the question is. Who is that guy? Now you might be asking yourself, Nanook! Why would want that?”
Nanook rubs his hands together.
“Cuz we haven’t see the best that Sutton has to offer yet. There is more in the tank and I want, I need one of you out there to pull that out of him. Cuz when that happens…..oh man, that will be the time to pick up a bucket of popcorn and sit back and watch the chaos unfold in front of us. Honestly, it’ll be the best thing for the NAW if one of you were able to pin him for the three count. You never know, that moment just might happen at Meltdown 84.”
“Edric has dug deep to find the next guy to challenge for the Horizon championship. He dug up three guys who could face Sutton at St. Valentine Day’s Massacre and it will be in this tag match where Sutton’s next challenger will come from. Everyone can see it, I’m not saying something that is a secret but who will it be? Will it be Luke Savage? He’s been in the ring against Sutton before, if there is someone in this match who has the advantage it’s you Luke Savage and you even have help in this match as your tag team partner is there to help you get one over on your Horizon championship and I know you would love to get your hands on that belt right there.”
Lillie showcases the belt some.
“But what about your buddy Bohannan? Both of you are just treading water in the tag division getting nowhere. I’m sure he would love to get an opportunity at the Horizon championship and we can’t blame him. But how would that work though? If the opportunity is there to cover Sutton and score the pinfall and perhaps a shot at the Horizon championships…...would you two then play nice with one another? After all the stakes in this match could be career altering. Is something like friendship stand in the way?”
Nanook slides his hands in his pockets.
“Then there is Sutton’s tag team partner for Meltdown 84. Jake Sullivan. The wildcard in this sweepstakes to see who gets a shot at the Horizon championship against Sutton at St. Valentine Day’s Massacre because as we know, that title will be defended at that show. Will you stand next to the champion and fight the Mid South Syndicate till you both get your hands raised in victory? Or you will take the shortcut and stab Sutton in the back and leave him to battle the Syndicate by himself? That would make a statement no doubt and could just earn you a shot at Sutton and that title because if you were to do just that to Sutton, I guarantee that I would be in Edric’s office demanding that match, even if it meant putting the title on the line. What are your plans Jake?”
Nanook turns slightly and looks at Sutton who puts the root beer down and slowly slides the belt off of Lillie Mae.
“Sutton here...he’s going to show up at Meltdown 84 looking to accomplish one thing and one thing only and that is to win this tag match.”
Sutton flips the belt over his shoulder and walks up to Nanook. He looks at his agent and friend Nanook and then looks into the camera.
“I find Luke Savage to be a gnat that just needs to be swatted and smashed to death. He’s been buzzing around annoying me for far too long now. And I don’t think much of his buddy either. All talk, no hype and neither guy can back it up. To put both of them on their backs looking up at the lights once and for all…..well that is how you start the new year off on the right step. It’s going to take someone better than those two to beat me. That’s just the matter of the truth of it. Much how….”
Sutton removes the belt from his shoulder and holds it up in the camera.
“How this is going to stay with me for a real long time, how this is to the day I die….”
Sutton shoves the belt in the camera so all you see if the belt.
“Is going to be mine.”
Fade out.
