To think that maybe some ideas were great until it goes wrong, this was one of them. The WCF Trios Tournament Cup was beginning this Sunday on Slam in Mexico City, Mexico, and from the looks of the talent entering, it could be said to be the biggest one yet. Former World Champions, United States Champions, Tag Team Champions, and much more have returned just to hold the honor not only winning the Trios Cup but the chance of becoming Trios Champions. This year could possibly be the most important Trios Cup in the history of WCF. Not only does the winning team become the new Trios Champions but they have a World, and Tag Title shot. With a grand prize like that waiting to be in your grasp, anyone with a mouth-watering desire for gold around their waist would step out from the shadows, and rise to the occasion to be back on top where they believe their spot to be. However, one may rise, the rest shall fall. In cases where only the victory matters, relationships can be made or crushed but Andre never thought he would have to be in the same team with a former World Champion whose hellbent on being evil no matter where goes, and a starting rookie who believes in peace, and tranquility over violence, and chaos. It's almost he's the exact meaning of Hannah Montana's, Best of Both Worlds, song from Disney. Two opposite worlds in two very different solar systems joined together under one universe which is Andre Holmes. He understood as a competitor what it means to lay everything down on the line, and beat the crap out of your opponent so badly he could never rise again. If he didn't have that killer instinct, well, he wouldn't be the top prospect of 2016 with two championship belts around his waist, now would he? Sure, controversial what he says or what he does in the ring. Come on, the guy has put multiple wrestlers, and personnel in the hospital ever since he arrived in WCF but that's all part of the game. Something Crystal doesn't understand but Sarah doesn't understand when enough is enough. He's the balance in this Ying, and Yang or the steam rising when Water meets Fire. Sure, his work was cut out for him but so was everyone else's when they got put together with their own teams.
Travelling with Sarah Twilight has been pretty calm, and chill. He would have expected her to jump down his throat, and even went off on Crystal Knight as he chose her without letting Sarah know. Probably the reason why the two have been going at each other's throat, and clawing their faces off ever since on Twitter. It wasn't right to hold secrets from Sarah but Crystal presented herself at the right time, and right place to be on the team. He was choosing her off hope, and not logic. So much for that backfire. The long drive wouldn't have been so long if they didn't bump into the group of larpers that Sarah met before during the week she faced Odin Balfore for the World Championship. Andre couldn't believe that a group of grown men, and women who cosplayed a mythical setting was so devoted to Sarah, it was quite ironic. A woman who cared about nothing but herself managed a loyal pack of nerds to shout her name to the clouds. His face almost turned purple due to concealing a thundering laugh nearly imploding his vocal chords when the situation arrived. However, it was dealt with as....Twilight would normally do, and finally they went from San Ysidro, California to Mexico City, Mexico. Damn, the city was better than he thought. A combination of not only the modern day urbanization of the city but also enriched with the ancient traditions, and cultures together. The perfect stance of bringing the past, and the present altogether which Andre always enjoyed. Sarah on the other hand, didn't really give a flying shit. Driving in the 2016 Black Mustang GT convertible, the wind blew past her fiery red hair, and her black shades of while Andre leaned on the door to watch some of the pedestrians flood the streets.
This was a really great opportunity for him to venture out, and see the world even more. After moving through the city, they reached Gran Hotel Ciudad De Mexico, and she pulled up coming to a screeching halt in front of the entrance where the valet, and bellhop boy came. She dismissively waved her hand to the valet, and he moved back in front of his podium awaiting for another car to come. The bellhop boy quickly got to work, helping Andre with his bags as she popped up the trunk with a button on the car key, and Andre opened the door to get out. Closing it, he said to Twilight.
Andre Holmes
I'll give you a call later to talk about a few things. Alright?
Sarah Twilight
Whatever.
She quickly stepped on the gas pedal, and drove out from the valet section of the entrance of the hotel. Gathering everything he needed, the bellhop escorted him two floors up to his room which was amazingly beautiful. Entering through the white door, the room was bright as hell. Well, it was a Friday in Mexico City. The walls were painted mostly white until the nearly bottom quarter measurement was striped with a light brown coloring. Two beds with a bed stand in between the two. Fluttered white sheets with white pillows, and a brown pigmentation at the end of each sheet for that beautiful touch. A large window showing the beaches, and the city itself with the curtains pushed all the way to the right end. He tipped the bellhop boy twenty for his great service, and his bags were gently placed beside the bad. Door shut, he leaned back, and crashed down into the sheets, sinking his body weight in a heavenly dive.
He took off his Michael Korrs watch, and threw it beside him on the sheets. Andre sat up, and unwrapped his black belt over his jeans, and even took off his Black Jordan shoes exposing his white ankle socks. He got up off the bed, and sat down on the grey carpet, leaning his shoulders against the large window pane. Removing his Galaxy S6 out, he called Kaitlyn disregarding the call charges.
Andre Holmes
Hey, how are you?
Kaitlyn Curran
I'm good. I'm just home with the kids. Picked them up from school actually.
Andre Holmes
How are they doing in school?
Kaitlyn Curran
Serenity is doing fine as always but Athena is still getting into trouble.
Andre Holmes
What kind of trouble?
Kaitlyn Curran
She's very hyperactive. She can't stay still, and continuously being disruptive.
Andre Holmes
ADHD?
Kaitlyn Curran
Probably but other than that, everything else is fine. How is Mexico City?
Andre Holmes
Beautiful. Next time I come here, I'm bringing you with me. The beaches, the ocean, everything. The view is amazing from here, and I can see the ocean this far. Also, I have a lot of work cut out for me today. Umm, bullshit went down.
Kaitlyn Curran
Nothing I should worry about, right?
Andre Holmes
Oh, of course not. I just need some advice.
Kaitlyn Curran
Shoot.
He fixed the phone against his right ear, and got up.
Andre Holmes
Well, I'm in a tournament. A sort of different one. A tournament called the Trios Cup which teams of three competing to win as every tournament usually is. So, I kind of did something a little stupid. My first team mate is a former World Champion, Sarah Twilight, and she's....she's....
Kaitlyn Curran
An evil bitch?
Andre Holmes
Yeah. I mean evil where evil hasn't been invented evil. Now, I don't really care for her whatever. All I need is her to make sure she has my back in the team, and she does so we're good. We can keep it business only, and make sure neither of us are going to stab each other in the back when the time comes. So there's a fresh breath of air but my other partner on the other hand is pretty much the goodie goodie two shoes. Think Mother Teresa against Medusa, not really Medusa but...yeah, you know what I mean. I'm literally stuck between two girls who want to absolute tear each other apart because of what they believe in, and it's very conflicting beliefs. So how am I supposed to balance making sure they don't kill each other, and getting them on the same page to make sure we win the match?
He was already getting stressed from even talking about Sarah, and Crystal's animosity. Twilight still doesn't know that Crystal was the chosen partner Andre chosen, and he never told her about it. She was expecting someone else, Bonnie Blue perhaps but Crystal? If she found out, Andre was in for a rough afternoon.
Kaitlyn Curran
Sheesh. You have to tell her before she finds out. Trust me, the truth always has a way of coming out, and when it's not from the horse's mouth, it ends badly. So if I were you, just set up a meeting between all three of you, and tell Sarah before the meeting. Don't let her find out.
Andre Holmes
I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
Kaitlyn Curran
But it's the truth Andre. You can imagine how Sarah is going to feel when she trusted you to pick someone who can definitely keep up with the two of you, and yet you chose someone who could ruin the morale of the team. Don't you think you would be upset if you had Grayson, and he chose someone like...umm...Dag Riddik to be on your team? How would you feel to Grayson?
Andre Holmes
I'd be fucking pissed. Dag Riddik? Really?!
Kaitlyn Curran
See?! Your reaction is exactly going to be hers. You need to tell her the truth, and you need to do it know before it gets out of hand. You know I'm right. If you really want to win this tournament, you need to come together as a team, and get everything out of the way. Learn what you guys can do in the ring. Covers each other weaknesses, build your strengths together. So I suggest maybe having lunch at a restaurant or something or even a walk in a park. You guys need to just sit down, let all your cards on the table, and play with the hand you're dealt with. Good?
Andre Holmes
Yeah....you're right. Alright, thank you for that. I'm gonna fix this, I swear. Tell Serenity, and Athena I'll talk to them tonight. I'm gonna settle this.
Kaitlyn Curran
Alright, goodbye.
The call ended right there, and he dropped back into the bed near the window again. A sigh was released upon the landing, and he looked up into the ceiling rubbing his forehead with his right hand, obviously the situation he created was worse than he thought. What was he supposed to do? If he told Sarah, she'd want to kill him. If not, she'd kill them both. However, it was still the right thing to do. He needed to tell Sarah the truth, and she has to roll with it because the team members are written in stone. Bored with everything, he wanted to see the world. So he put back on his shoes, his belt, and his watch before taking the key card with him to leave the room, and lock the door behind him. Reaching down to the lobby, the front desk was kind of enough to call a Taxi to take him into the city so he could just walk around, get a snack on the way, and even meet with some of the locals to gather some information about Mexico City, and the indigenous life.
After paying the cab for taking him in the city, he really enjoyed the great cultural aspects they held on. Mixing it in a blender with the urban setting. It was very busy on a Friday, the city of course. Multiple shops were crowded, pedestrians walking in groups, and even the traffic was nothing but one ways. Andre continued walking down the street, and had his hands buried in his pockets while looking around for anything to just sit down, and unwind. He walked into a local park displaying some of the best art that originated from Mexico, and even exhibits of ancestral paintings, and statues. Sitting down, he took his Canon camera to start recording the setting before him. The bench was in front of a large round fountain with water spurting up in the air around a statue of a couple with horses behind them. Kids were playing, throwing coins into the water, and their parents watching over them, the camera angle switched to his face. Showing his huge head with his black shades on, and black piercings in. He cleared his voice, and got right into what really is going in the tournament that actually concerned him.
"Relentless" Andre Holmes
Oh, we're here ladies, and gentlemen. We are here now, and we are in Mexico City de Mexico. Now, I haven't been too good on my spanish but this is muy bien. You know why? Because not only is Andre undefeated in seven matches but Andre boy has chance to become Trios Champions, 2016 Trios Cup Winner, and even gain a World Championship around my waist making me the only Triple Crown wielding champion in WCF history. See, with that opportunity on the line, there's no way in Hell I'm going to pass up that opportunity. That will make me go down in history as THE ONLY ROOKIE to become a Triple Crown Champion in just six months, and damn sure I'm going to do it. I don't care if anybody else did it, I'm going to be the only one that mattered because of you guys at home who continue to support WCF, and myself. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be a dual holding champion so I owe all of my success to you but in this tournament, success has to be shared with not one but two people. Unfortunately, it's going to be with Sarah Twilight, and Crystal Knight. Don't get me wrong, I respect what they both can do, and I chose them because I believe we will make a most entertaining team in the Trios Tournament, and kick some ass on the way down too. Sarah Twilight, the only female to ever hold the WCF World Champion, and a former owner of WCF? Not to mention Crystal Knight whose been on the verge of breaking out as a potential top competitor in the company. This is what the Trios Tournament is all about, finding those tools to build a well oiled machine of different components who are compatible with each other....even though compatible is a long reeaaaaccchhhhh.
So uhh, I didn't think this through when I chose both of them. I honestly thought they would co-exist, and I guess that sort of backfired on me. Especially with their Twitter beef, I knew right then, and there this was going to be a catastrophe but then again, when am I ever not surrounded with Catastrophe? It could have been worse right? Yeah, I believe so but what's done is done, and now I'm gonna have to make sure Civil War doesn't break out. On the other hand, I can't really say the same for our opponents for the preliminary round of this match. You see, fate has a funny way of introducing itself. When you believe in Karma, it always plays out for you. I'm a strong believer in Karma, maybe that's just the libra inside of me but Karma never fails, and Karma is always a bitch when she wants to be. If you don't know I mean, let's talk about this Sunday where we off against Oblivion, Night Rider, and Freezer Burn. Yeah, Oblivion. The dude who attacked me from behind because I brushed him off after I had a match? He was annoying as hell, and I didn't have time to waste with a dude who had issues about a dead bitch who tried to make his, and my life a living hell. I understand he's a delirious, and crazy but who isn't? All I know is that we have an issue ever since he blames me for the murder of Katherine Phoenix, and now he's going to come after someone I love? Good luck Oblivion. Now you've given me enough reason to launch my 12 sized foot right up your ass, and knock you out before you can even move but with him is Night Rider. A returning wrestler to WCF who I believe has done something worth noticing, and hell yeah, I'll give credit where credit is due. You've done so much for Night Rider Denise, you have. Night Rider is proud of you, and he should but not what he's all alone, I'm going to make sure he can take his little Sons of Anarchy or Torque movie gimmick back to the warehouse because there's not enough V8 Warboys to stand against this Mad Max along with my two Furiosa's are there? Hmm nope. So what do I say to both Night Rider, and Oblivion? Am I supposed to just lie down on the mat, and hope not get my ass kicked or should I continue talking about how I'm gonna kick their ass? The point is neither. They weren't ready for myself, Sarah, and Crystal because they're predictable, and generic. They're not ready for the new generation to step in, and even Twilight whose countless whooped Oblivion's ass more times than we had Trump speak about throwing people south of the border.
But Freezer Burn? What about you? What are you doing in this match? It was very surprising to see YOUR name on the list of our opponents because I thought Seth was going to give you a chance to hold onto your little title shot at anything except the World Title....so that means you have a guaranteed shot at the Hardcore Championship. My Hardcore Championship. Like I said ladies, and gentlemen. Fate. Fate always has a way of just coming out when you least expected it. You see Freezer, I'm glad me, and you have the chance to actually talk. I know Night Rider, and Oblivion wanna shot at the Hardcore Title, and even though it's an impromptu title shot because of the cheap shot Oblivion did, YOU have the chance of actually waiting for the right time to strike. Freezer. When you have an opportunity like this, it's all about timing. Exactly like Final Destination with Logan's briefcase or Money in the Bank. You have to wait for that perfect time to cash in that title shot. Honestly, you could have done the same thing for the WCF Cruiserweight Championshio, and become the new Cruiserweight Champion on the spot right there but then again, you'd probably lose it on your first defense. Even though you are the rookie on the team, you're the biggest threat to my Hardcore Championship, and I don't plan on losing this belt any time soon, not until next year at least. So I'm going to tell you this with everything I mean in my words. When we step into that ring, I'm not Caleb Ronan or anybody else you faced. I'm "Relentless" Andre Holmes. I'm a higher breed, higher caliber, and better competitor than you'll ever be. You've started in WCF, and now you're going against two wolves, and a very hungry pup. You think that was the best choice Seth gave you? Oblivion, a monster whose had issues with buying a tampon because he can't control his period, and Night Rider? His name says it all, he's been riding on Denise's career ever since they started hooking up. So what makes YOU so special? Just because you're big, and strong doesn't make you anything less of me. I'm 5'9, and 201 pounds but LOOK where I am, and LOOK where you're at?
Funny how everyone expects Goliath to be the King but when David came, he fell down. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I'll reach into your soul, and twist it. You'll be begging for me to stop hurting you, and begging me to stop inflicting this torture. You wanna know why I enjoy torturing my opponents? I don't either. I don't go into the match to win. I go into the match to win, and finish them once and for all. Rage Maxx, Roland Von Erich, and even Dexter Radcliffe can even test to that. Where are they now Freezer?! Tell me, where are they? They're gone, I did that! It's me you should respect, and damn sure respect my partners too. It's about time you get the opportunity to step into the ring with a champion you can have a shot at because this is my first, and final message to you as the new, and soon to longest reigning WCF Hardcore Champion in WCF History all the back to 1999. You...are....nothing. You're nothing. Just another dust being blown in the wind. I mean, the Television Championship, that's out. United States, hmm nah. Tag Team, nope. That's mine too. Trios...NOPE. International, maybe, I mean anyone can beat Dag so that's your second best chance. People's? Nope. If I couldn't do it, what makes you? Cruiserweight, best chance because anyone can beat vacant. So Freezer, I hope you enjoy this message because if you ever choose to step into the ring with me, and the Hardcore Championship is on the line, well Freezer Burn. Good luck eating out of a straw.
He shut off the camera after finishing recording the message, and leaned back while putting the camera back into his own pocket. Andre got up from his seat, and ordered for a Taxi to come back, and take him to his hotel.
Back at his hotel room, he was sitting down crossed legged on the bed with his laptop in front of him looking at some old videos he used to watch when he was a kid. Tom, and Jerry mixed with X-Men: The Animated Season. Aye, back to the good old days right? He really enjoyed those old times. Shoes off, ankle socks exposed again, and suddenly his phone rang. Picking it up, Sarah's name came on the screen, and he pressed his thumb down to answer the call before putting the phone to his ear.
Andre Holmes
Hey how's eve--
Sarah Twilight
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Her loud outbursts on the phone made him flinch, and almost lose the phone out of his hands. He caught the phone just in time before it crashed into the floor, and put her on speaker.
Andre Holmes
What?! What?! What's up?! What happened?!
Sarah Twilight
CRYSTAL KNIGHT?!
Andre Holmes
Oh yeah...umm...listen.
Sarah Twilight
Out of ALL the people you could have chosen, you chose that fairy princess CUNT?! When you said you had a great partner in mind, I thought Bonnie Blue but CRYSTAL KNIGHT? You really thought SHE was the best thing for this team?! YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Andre Holmes
Look, I understand you're upset. I really do but this could be a good thing.
Sarah Twilight
Good thing my ass! Tell the bitch I don't want to work with anyway how! You PROMISED me a good partner, and instead, you gave me a PIECE OF SHIT! Fix this Andre! NOW!
Andre Holmes
Well, uhh. I can't. It's already set, and umm, I kind of told Crystal you'd be seeing us later at a restaurant.
Sarah Twilight
....No....this is it. I am done with this. I am not going to see that little bitch, and I want her out of the team. CRYSTAL KNIGHT?! Andre, you better listen to me! I do NOT want to be on the same team with that little prissy cunt! So why should I even be with her in a stupid run down restaurant?!
Andre Holmes
I know you're angry but this could just be the opportunity for all three of us to work together, and get everything out of the way. So I'll text you the address, and we can talk business. Okay, bye.
Sarah Twilight
Don't you hang up on m--
He ended the call right there, and fell back onto his pillow. Letting out a huge exhale, butterflies was really in his stomach. That was a close call but what's done is done, and now the we can only wait about what the future holds for all three. It may be chaotic, and wreckless but it's what's for the best. Pretty sure Andre really wanted to get this out of the way, and damn sure really go on to become Trios Champion but if it came down to the finals, the World Title shot is his.
Travelling with Sarah Twilight has been pretty calm, and chill. He would have expected her to jump down his throat, and even went off on Crystal Knight as he chose her without letting Sarah know. Probably the reason why the two have been going at each other's throat, and clawing their faces off ever since on Twitter. It wasn't right to hold secrets from Sarah but Crystal presented herself at the right time, and right place to be on the team. He was choosing her off hope, and not logic. So much for that backfire.

His face almost turned purple due to concealing a thundering laugh nearly imploding his vocal chords when the situation arrived. However, it was dealt with as....Twilight would normally do, and finally they went from San Ysidro, California to Mexico City, Mexico. Damn, the city was better than he thought. A combination of not only the modern day urbanization of the city but also enriched with the ancient traditions, and cultures together. The perfect stance of bringing the past, and the present altogether which Andre always enjoyed. Sarah on the other hand, didn't really give a flying shit. Driving in the 2016 Black Mustang GT convertible, the wind blew past her fiery red hair, and her black shades of while Andre leaned on the door to watch some of the pedestrians flood the streets.
This was a really great opportunity for him to venture out, and see the world even more. After moving through the city, they reached Gran Hotel Ciudad De Mexico, and she pulled up coming to a screeching halt in front of the entrance where the valet, and bellhop boy came. She dismissively waved her hand to the valet, and he moved back in front of his podium awaiting for another car to come. The bellhop boy quickly got to work, helping Andre with his bags as she popped up the trunk with a button on the car key, and Andre opened the door to get out. Closing it, he said to Twilight.

He got up off the bed, and sat down on the grey carpet, leaning his shoulders against the large window pane. Removing his Galaxy S6 out, he called Kaitlyn disregarding the call charges.
Andre Holmes
Hey, how are you?
Kaitlyn Curran
I'm good. I'm just home with the kids. Picked them up from school actually.
Andre Holmes
How are they doing in school?
Kaitlyn Curran
Serenity is doing fine as always but Athena is still getting into trouble.
Andre Holmes
What kind of trouble?
Kaitlyn Curran
She's very hyperactive. She can't stay still, and continuously being disruptive.
Andre Holmes
ADHD?
Kaitlyn Curran
Probably but other than that, everything else is fine. How is Mexico City?
Andre Holmes
Beautiful. Next time I come here, I'm bringing you with me. The beaches, the ocean, everything. The view is amazing from here, and I can see the ocean this far. Also, I have a lot of work cut out for me today. Umm, bullshit went down.
Kaitlyn Curran
Nothing I should worry about, right?
Andre Holmes
Oh, of course not. I just need some advice.
Kaitlyn Curran

He fixed the phone against his right ear, and got up.

"Relentless" Andre Holmes
Oh, we're here ladies, and gentlemen. We are here now, and we are in Mexico City de Mexico. Now, I haven't been too good on my spanish but this is muy bien. You know why? Because not only is Andre undefeated in seven matches but Andre boy has chance to become Trios Champions, 2016 Trios Cup Winner, and even gain a World Championship around my waist making me the only Triple Crown wielding champion in WCF history. See, with that opportunity on the line, there's no way in Hell I'm going to pass up that opportunity. That will make me go down in history as THE ONLY ROOKIE to become a Triple Crown Champion in just six months, and damn sure I'm going to do it. I don't care if anybody else did it, I'm going to be the only one that mattered because of you guys at home who continue to support WCF, and myself. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be a dual holding champion so I owe all of my success to you but in this tournament, success has to be shared with not one but two people. Unfortunately, it's going to be with Sarah Twilight, and Crystal Knight. Don't get me wrong, I respect what they both can do, and I chose them because I believe we will make a most entertaining team in the Trios Tournament, and kick some ass on the way down too. Sarah Twilight, the only female to ever hold the WCF World Champion, and a former owner of WCF? Not to mention Crystal Knight whose been on the verge of breaking out as a potential top competitor in the company. This is what the Trios Tournament is all about, finding those tools to build a well oiled machine of different components who are compatible with each other....even though compatible is a long reeaaaaccchhhhh.
So uhh, I didn't think this through when I chose both of them. I honestly thought they would co-exist, and I guess that sort of backfired on me. Especially with their Twitter beef, I knew right then, and there this was going to be a catastrophe but then again, when am I ever not surrounded with Catastrophe? It could have been worse right? Yeah, I believe so but what's done is done, and now I'm gonna have to make sure Civil War doesn't break out. On the other hand, I can't really say the same for our opponents for the preliminary round of this match. You see, fate has a funny way of introducing itself. When you believe in Karma, it always plays out for you. I'm a strong believer in Karma, maybe that's just the libra inside of me but Karma never fails, and Karma is always a bitch when she wants to be. If you don't know I mean, let's talk about this Sunday where we off against Oblivion, Night Rider, and Freezer Burn. Yeah, Oblivion. The dude who attacked me from behind because I brushed him off after I had a match? He was annoying as hell, and I didn't have time to waste with a dude who had issues about a dead bitch who tried to make his, and my life a living hell. I understand he's a delirious, and crazy but who isn't? All I know is that we have an issue ever since he blames me for the murder of Katherine Phoenix, and now he's going to come after someone I love? Good luck Oblivion. Now you've given me enough reason to launch my 12 sized foot right up your ass, and knock you out before you can even move but with him is Night Rider. A returning wrestler to WCF who I believe has done something worth noticing, and hell yeah, I'll give credit where credit is due. You've done so much for Night Rider Denise, you have. Night Rider is proud of you, and he should but not what he's all alone, I'm going to make sure he can take his little Sons of Anarchy or Torque movie gimmick back to the warehouse because there's not enough V8 Warboys to stand against this Mad Max along with my two Furiosa's are there? Hmm nope. So what do I say to both Night Rider, and Oblivion? Am I supposed to just lie down on the mat, and hope not get my ass kicked or should I continue talking about how I'm gonna kick their ass? The point is neither. They weren't ready for myself, Sarah, and Crystal because they're predictable, and generic. They're not ready for the new generation to step in, and even Twilight whose countless whooped Oblivion's ass more times than we had Trump speak about throwing people south of the border.
But Freezer Burn? What about you? What are you doing in this match? It was very surprising to see YOUR name on the list of our opponents because I thought Seth was going to give you a chance to hold onto your little title shot at anything except the World Title....so that means you have a guaranteed shot at the Hardcore Championship. My Hardcore Championship. Like I said ladies, and gentlemen. Fate. Fate always has a way of just coming out when you least expected it. You see Freezer, I'm glad me, and you have the chance to actually talk. I know Night Rider, and Oblivion wanna shot at the Hardcore Title, and even though it's an impromptu title shot because of the cheap shot Oblivion did, YOU have the chance of actually waiting for the right time to strike. Freezer. When you have an opportunity like this, it's all about timing. Exactly like Final Destination with Logan's briefcase or Money in the Bank. You have to wait for that perfect time to cash in that title shot. Honestly, you could have done the same thing for the WCF Cruiserweight Championshio, and become the new Cruiserweight Champion on the spot right there but then again, you'd probably lose it on your first defense. Even though you are the rookie on the team, you're the biggest threat to my Hardcore Championship, and I don't plan on losing this belt any time soon, not until next year at least. So I'm going to tell you this with everything I mean in my words. When we step into that ring, I'm not Caleb Ronan or anybody else you faced. I'm "Relentless" Andre Holmes. I'm a higher breed, higher caliber, and better competitor than you'll ever be. You've started in WCF, and now you're going against two wolves, and a very hungry pup. You think that was the best choice Seth gave you? Oblivion, a monster whose had issues with buying a tampon because he can't control his period, and Night Rider? His name says it all, he's been riding on Denise's career ever since they started hooking up. So what makes YOU so special? Just because you're big, and strong doesn't make you anything less of me. I'm 5'9, and 201 pounds but LOOK where I am, and LOOK where you're at?
Funny how everyone expects Goliath to be the King but when David came, he fell down. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I'll reach into your soul, and twist it. You'll be begging for me to stop hurting you, and begging me to stop inflicting this torture. You wanna know why I enjoy torturing my opponents? I don't either. I don't go into the match to win. I go into the match to win, and finish them once and for all. Rage Maxx, Roland Von Erich, and even Dexter Radcliffe can even test to that. Where are they now Freezer?! Tell me, where are they? They're gone, I did that! It's me you should respect, and damn sure respect my partners too. It's about time you get the opportunity to step into the ring with a champion you can have a shot at because this is my first, and final message to you as the new, and soon to longest reigning WCF Hardcore Champion in WCF History all the back to 1999. You...are....nothing. You're nothing. Just another dust being blown in the wind. I mean, the Television Championship, that's out. United States, hmm nah. Tag Team, nope. That's mine too. Trios...NOPE. International, maybe, I mean anyone can beat Dag so that's your second best chance. People's? Nope. If I couldn't do it, what makes you? Cruiserweight, best chance because anyone can beat vacant. So Freezer, I hope you enjoy this message because if you ever choose to step into the ring with me, and the Hardcore Championship is on the line, well Freezer Burn. Good luck eating out of a straw.
He shut off the camera after finishing recording the message, and leaned back while putting the camera back into his own pocket. Andre got up from his seat, and ordered for a Taxi to come back, and take him to his hotel.
Back at his hotel room, he was sitting down crossed legged on the bed with his laptop in front of him looking at some old videos he used to watch when he was a kid. Tom, and Jerry mixed with X-Men: The Animated Season. Aye, back to the good old days right? He really enjoyed those old times. Shoes off, ankle socks exposed again, and suddenly his phone rang. Picking it up, Sarah's name came on the screen, and he pressed his thumb down to answer the call before putting the phone to his ear.
Andre Holmes
Hey how's eve--
Sarah Twilight
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Her loud outbursts on the phone made him flinch, and almost lose the phone out of his hands. He caught the phone just in time before it crashed into the floor, and put her on speaker.
Andre Holmes
What?! What?! What's up?! What happened?!
Sarah Twilight
CRYSTAL KNIGHT?!
Andre Holmes
Oh yeah...umm...listen.
Sarah Twilight
Out of ALL the people you could have chosen, you chose that fairy princess CUNT?! When you said you had a great partner in mind, I thought Bonnie Blue but CRYSTAL KNIGHT? You really thought SHE was the best thing for this team?! YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
Andre Holmes
Look, I understand you're upset. I really do but this could be a good thing.
Sarah Twilight
Good thing my ass! Tell the bitch I don't want to work with anyway how! You PROMISED me a good partner, and instead, you gave me a PIECE OF SHIT! Fix this Andre! NOW!
Andre Holmes
Well, uhh. I can't. It's already set, and umm, I kind of told Crystal you'd be seeing us later at a restaurant.
Sarah Twilight
....No....this is it. I am done with this. I am not going to see that little bitch, and I want her out of the team. CRYSTAL KNIGHT?! Andre, you better listen to me! I do NOT want to be on the same team with that little prissy cunt! So why should I even be with her in a stupid run down restaurant?!
Andre Holmes
I know you're angry but this could just be the opportunity for all three of us to work together, and get everything out of the way. So I'll text you the address, and we can talk business. Okay, bye.
Sarah Twilight
Don't you hang up on m--
He ended the call right there, and fell back onto his pillow. Letting out a huge exhale, butterflies was really in his stomach. That was a close call but what's done is done, and now the we can only wait about what the future holds for all three. It may be chaotic, and wreckless but it's what's for the best. Pretty sure Andre really wanted to get this out of the way, and damn sure really go on to become Trios Champion but if it came down to the finals, the World Title shot is his.
