We fade into the back of the Thomas’ limousine and onto the Thomas’ smiling faces. Dylan is dressed in a nice dark teal suit and matching tie with white shirt, while Lissandra is dolled up in a gorgeous white dress.
Lissandra: Good evening OCW Faithful. You find us on the way to the Ellen DeGeneres show. It’s been two and a half years since we were on Ellen’s show. Not since Dylan was about to face Crazy Chris of Danger Boiz fame for his GCWA X-Division title.
Dylan: Heh. ‘His’ X-Division title. Which then became ‘MY’ X-Division title. I did what everyone said could not be done. Crazy Chris could not be defeated by me! He hadn’t lost the title in, what was it, Lissie? Ten years?
Lissandra: Ten years, I think. Yeah.
Dylan: And no ‘mere mortal’ like Dylan Thomas could defeat Chris for what was ‘his’ title. Granted, he won back his title later on… but with a cheap pinfall.
Dylan and Lissandra wink at the camera and Dylan holds up his hands to the camera before crashing them onto his legs with a smile.
Dylan: BUT! Who are we to hold onto past grudges? Crazy Chris, Dangerous Dan…. you beat the twins at Access Denied and of that, we can only approve of. But you guys be careful. There may be a time when myself and Mikey Z come for those tag titles that you guys hold so dear.
Lissandra: That is assuming that you’re not beaten by the Lockwoods at Luck of the Violent, eh boys? George! Are we nearly at our destination?
George: Just pulling up to the TV studios now, ma’am.
Lissandra: Very good.
Dylan: Well, Faithful… we’ll see you inside.
The camera fades out.
=============================================================
Dylan and Lissandra Thomas are in the Green Room backstage, making themselves presentable, ready to appear on camera when a VERY familiar face joins them.
: Well, well, well… if it isn’t OCW’s best Hollywood couple.
The Thomas’s turn around and there stands none other than Superman and Geralt of Rivia himself, Henry Cavill with a beaming smile.
Lissandra: Henry Cavill! It’s been too long.
Henry and Lissandra kiss cheeks and Henry then shakes Dylan’s hand.
Dylan: So… Geralt… or Clark…
Dylan beams.
Dylan: What brings you out here?
Henry: Well…same thing as you, I would imagine?
Everybody smiles and Dylan shakes his head.
Dylan: So you’re about to potentially put on the show of the night at the next OCW show?
Henry and Dylan laugh.
Henry. No. No, that’s your department, Dylan. I use swords.
Lissandra: Or shoot fire from your eyes.
Henry: True.
A distant voice of Ellen DeGeneres welcomes everyone to the show, before making a few jokes and calling out Henry Cavill.
Henry: Showtime. I’ll see you two out there.
Dylan: For sure. See you later man.
========================================================
Ellen: Welcome back to part two of the show, people. Now coming up next we have two of my favourite people in the world and would you believe that I haven’t seen them in over two years? This pandemic eh? Who would have it?
The studio audience titter.
Ellen: Ladies and Gentlemen, here before they jet off to Ireland in just a few days, from OCW…..Dylan and Lissandra Thomas!
The studio audience whoop and cheer their favourite OCW A-Listers and even Henry Cavill claps his hands with a huge smile on his face. Dylan and Lissandra both hug Ellen DeGeneres before sitting down on the nearby chairs.
Ellen: So…!
[smear:#4b54d6]Dylan & Lissandra: So…![/smear:#ffffff:0]
Ellen: Last time I had the pleasure of seeing you two… you were in the GCWA, isn’t that right?
Lissandra: Yep. Just before Dylan was facing Crazy Chris for the X-Division title.
Ellen: Which you won, in that match if I recall?
Dylan: Yes I did.
Ellen: So what’s been happening recently? I know you’ve switched over to OCW.
Dylan: That’s correct, Ellen yeah. Been there for almost a year now. It’s definitely been a couple of weird months, that’s for damn sure.
Ellen: Tell me some of the highlights.
Dylan: Since OCW has made a re-appearance, I’ve been involved in some of the higher profile matches before crashing through some television studio rafters trying to save our daughter from a madman.
Dylan turns to Henry Cavill.
Dylan: I flew so high, dude. I could give you a run for your money.
Dylan and Henry Cavill share a laugh along with the studio audience.
Lissandra: Although granted that wasn’t exactly a highlight.
Ellen: Oh my God! Well you seem to have recovered well. He’s looking fit and hot tonight, isn’t he guys?
There are a few wolf whistles from the studio audience which Dylan and Lissandra laugh at.
Ellen: Lissie… you’re a lucky woman, babe.
Ellen turns to Dylan.
Ellen: And you, Mister… she’s always beautiful.
Dylan: She most certainly is.
The studio audience ‘Aww’, causing Lissandra to blush.
Lissandra: Thank-you Ellen.
Ellen: And how is little Lilly these days?
Lissandra: She’s growing up so fast! Can you believe she’s two in a few weeks?
Ellen: Already entering the terrible twos eh? Amazing. So Dylan…. What’s the most recent escapade for ‘Perfection Personified’?
Dylan: Well, there was when I went to absolute war at our most recent PPV, Access Denied with one of my hardest opponents in the form of Veronica Strader.
Ellen: You mean Victoria Strader?
Dylan smiles and shakes his head.
Dylan: It really depends on who you ask.
Ellen: You lost that match, right?
Dylan: I did. Would’ve won though, if I didn’t end up tripping over my big feet. That being said, Strader did earn my respect that night. She’s a hell of a competitor.
Ellen: Yeah from what I’ve seen of her she really is quite something! Pretty girl too.
Dylan: But since I’ve lost a few as of late, I decided to just get back up on that horse and try again. I laid out the challenge recently.
Ellen: Oh?
Dylan: There’s a young kid who just joined OCW, not too long ago. Kelson Hewitt. AKA…..
Dylan once again turns to Cavill with a smirk.
Dylan: ‘The Man of Steel’.
Henry Cavill: No kidding?
Lissandra: True story, Henry.
Dylan: On his way to being a top tier talent. No doubt. I want to see just how good the man is, for myself.
The studio audience cheer in recognition at the name of Kelson Hewitt. Dylan and Lissandra nod.
Dylan: He won in his debut against one of the best that there’s ever been. Bob Grenier. And like me, he unfortunately lost against Vee Strader. But he did show Lissie and I enough to pique our interest.
Ellen: Perhaps enough to join the A-List?
The studio audience cheers at this suggestion causing Ellen to raise her eyebrow in hope.
Dylan: Haha. Well that we will have to see now won’t we?
Ellen: That wasn’t a yes Dylan.
Dylan: True. But it wasn’t a no, either.
Ellen: Alright! So come on, for old time’s sake…. Can we see one of Dylan Thomas’s ass kicking wrestling promos?
Dylan: For you, Ellen? Of course.
Ellen: Camera two.
Dylan searches for the camera before standing up and walking towards it.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dylan: You know, Kelson… Some people like Vee Strader are born to be in this business. Others are the arrogant assholes who come in, and act like the entitled pricks that they think they are. I’ll admit, not that long ago THAT was me. Hell, where do you think the moniker of ‘Perfection Personified’ came from? I used to say that it wasn’t just a moniker - that I really WAS destined to be the best of the best in this business. It’s amazing what a literal fall from grace can do for perspective on things.
You ask any of this studio audience or any of the people watching at home. Dylan and Lissandra Thomas were the hated of the hated. So hated in fact that we could even give the Incredible One a run for his money about how hated he was. Hell, he is an original member of the A-List. Shout out to Ian Bishop…….But that changed on OCW Piledriver of all places when someone decided to kidnap our daughter.
Ever since then? Well…. I was last year’s Face of the Year…. Wrestling is a funny business Kelson. And then Kelson there’re the ones that come into a place with ‘It’ factor written all over them.
Dylan points to the camera.
That’s you, kid. Lissie and I, we’ve been watching you since your arrival in OCW. We saw your debut against Bob…. We kept a particularly close eye on your match with Strader. Each and every time you stepped in that ring, you piqued our interest. You piqued my interest. Now I admit there aren’t many people that can walk into OCW and get my attention right away. But anyone that can knock off Bob Grenier in their debut has got to be worth some grain of salt right?
But listen to me, Kelson Hewitt and listen to me well… On Massacre I WANT you to bring me the A-game that you most definitely have. Because I will be doing everything still in my power to win….
I need to prove to myself that I still belong in OCW. There will be people watching that will be saying ‘Dylan…what are you talking about? You’re at the cusp of breaking into that main event scene’. Yeah. The cusp of everything… Recently it’s always been the bridesmaid and never the bride. But I tell you what, Kelson… you let DT worry about all of that and when we main event Massacre on Monday, we put on a hell of a show. Of course, I would love to win against you - of course I would. But make me fight for it Kelson Hewitt. Because I’m NOT going to make it easy for the Man of Steel.
All it will take is one moment to get you up on my shoulders for a Perfect Finisher and Boom! The Man of Steel will have met his kryptonite.
Dylan smiles.
But…mark my words, Mr. Hewitt, and let me leave you with this: win on Monday I will shake your hand man to man so that I can tell you personally that you have my respect. But if you lose on Monday, I want you to do me the courtesy of doing the same thing. You say a lot that all you want is a good match with people and that respect is most definitely earned. Well it most certainly is.
You say that you still respect Bob Grenier even after all that he said about you. That’s commendable. But on Monday, let us see if you live up to your word on having an honest match. And let’s put on a show, a main event, that will be nothing short of Perfection, Personified!
======================================================================
The studio audience once again whoop and cheer as everyone applauds and Dylan sits back down.
Ellen: It sounds as if you’re really excited about this match, Dylan.
Dylan: Yeah, I would say, I am.
Ellen: Well, I’m gonna keep an eye on OCW Massacre this coming week. This Kelson Hewitt sounds like an interesting kid. Think we could get him on the show?
Lissandra: I dunno. You’d have to ask him. Hahaha.
Ellen: Ladies and gentlemen! We’re out of time! Dylan and Lissandra everyone!
More whoops and cheers as the show goes off the air! Backstage later in the night, the Thomas’s catch up with Henry Cavill as he’s just making his way to his car.
Dylan: Henry! Henry! Wait up!
Henry Cavill turns around with a smile.
Lissandra: We know you’ve got a busy schedule at the moment but think you can make it over to Ireland? We’d love to have you at Massacre as our personal special guest.
Lissandra flashes up some tickets for the show and Henry eagerly takes them with a smile.
Henry: Lissie… I think I can make the show.
