HD: D*LUX promo

[King Cucaracha 0]

Cut to the interview stage(~!) and the incomporable Mene Gene Okerlund, standing by.

OKERLUND
Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time... with their manager JADE RODEZ, they are D*LUX!!!

"YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"


"JUST ONE ON ONE
THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT BABY!
JUST ONE ON ONE, THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT!

JUST ONE ON ONE
THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT BABY!
JUST ONE ON ONE, THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT!"

As "First To Believe" thumps through the arena, out come D*LUX. "Tremendous" Tyler and "Showtime" Shayne lead the way up the steps to the interview stage, with Jade cutting a rather forlorn figure behind them. The trio get a warm reception from the fans around the interview stage and they acknowledge it, despite clearly not being in the best of moods.

OKERLUND
Jade, gentlemen, thank you for joining me out here... during what has to be considered a challenging time. Right now, you're going through argueable the toughest period of your young career as a team. No longer HI-YAH Tag Team Champion, nor the Number One Contenders after last week. You've come through tough times in the past, can you do so once again with the weight of so many challenges on your shoulders?

JADE
It has been tough recently Gene. PRL and Popick tricked us and took our titles. The Lightning Crew are all after us. And the only team we thought we could rely on to help us can't help holding a grudge. To be honest, I'm... not all that sure what to do. At times like this, I'd turn to my brother, but...

Jade hangs her head a little, audibly sighing to herself.

JADE
...he's still at home recovering from his neck injury. I talk to him about stuff over e-mail and text messages.I instant message him all the time and I'm on his friends list on MySpace. But it's not the same as him being here, ya know, whenever I need some advice to just go down the hall or whatever and talk to him. Which is why the other day I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked and I looked... and then Melody Nerdly showed up and slapped me upside the head and told me to snap out of it. Or, words to that effect.

OKERLUND
She slapped you!?

JADE
Yeah. She's got issues. But, the point is, she was right. I can't rely on my brother to help me out all the time. It's time for me to stand on my own two feet and I guess Leon's injury is the excuse to start trying. I've got to sort this out myself, along with Tyler and Shayne of course.

The boybanders both nod in agreement.

JADE
Sooner or later, we're going to get our belts back, for the third time. We're not the Number One Contenders, but we'll be watching very closely when Colombian Heat and Spanish Fly cash in on their title shot. And if PRL and Popick or Heat and Fly think we're done with those belts, then they're, like, totally wrong.

OKERLUND
Well, of more immediate concern is your match at New Year's Spectacular with Mr. Boricua and Cuban Wall. It'll be either a Tag Team Tables Match, a Tag Team Steel Cage Match or a Latino Thug Street Fight. Whatever way the vote goes, you'll be up against the two biggest members of the Lightning Crew, but do you have a preference over which match you'll compete in?

JADE
Not really. We've got a gameplan ready for each match, so whatever the fans vote for we'll be ready for. Boricua and Wall are the biggest team in terms of weight and height and all that we've ever had to wrestle so obviously we're going to be under a little bit of a disadvantage from the start. They like to throw people around. A couple of bullies. But if they think D*LUX are gonna be afraid, they're wrong. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, right?

OKERLUND
I believe that's the saying, yes.

JADE
Then that's what's gonna happen. Nobody's going to give us a hope, but nobody gave us a hope against Christian Wright and Bohemoth. Nobody gave us a hope against The Beverly Hills Blonds. Nobody gave us a hope against The Global Party Exchange. But these guys fought the odds and came out on top those times, so New Year's Day, they're going to try and do the same. Tyler will be Tremendous, it'll be Showtime for Shayne and together, we are going to be better than standard, we'll be above average, infact, they'll be D*LUX!!

TYLER
YEAH-UH!!!

Tyler signs off on the interview and "First To Believe" hits, as the trio head back to whence they came.

COLE
Jade Rodez and D*LUX with a statement of intent here tonight. And hey, Jade Rodez is on MySpace!
