We go back to the house where Gator lives,
And the place where wonders stives...
You know what, fuck rhyming. It was cute and all in the first promo but I don't have time, I'll just narrate the scene like a normal damn person. You don't like it? Screw you, go right your own damn poems.
Gator and his future self stand in the hall of his.. Their? Home. Gator, out Gator, leans against a wall with his arms folded, Future Gator standing in front of him.
"So... What do I need to know?"
"Er, a lot of shit, but I'm only going to tell you one of them and fuck off before I blab about anything else."
"Oooh secretive. Hold up, before you tell me, can I ask some vague questions about the future?"
"Sure, but I'll give you vague answers."
"Sounds fair. Okay I wanna know about time travel."
"Goddamit."
"How does it work?"
*sigh* "Basically, Back to the Future kind nailed it. Not the time travelling DeLorean, that was a disaster, but the science behind it was almost right."
"Oh sweet, so flux capacitor, jiga-watts. That's, awesome! Secondly, if you're me from the future, don't you know what I'm gonna say and do?"
"No, you're thinking a time line is something singular, I didn't travel from the future to go back to your timeline, when I traveled I created a separate timeline. I didn't have this conversation with myself when I was your age. So from this point on every that happens should be different, for the most part."
"But if you came back and everything's changed in the future, should you change and be different?"
"Again, no. Despite what most Sci-Fi movies do where I'm still you in the future and whatever you do now would change me instantly, it won't take affect because I am no longer in the future, I'm in your present. If you chop your leg off now, my leg wouldn't be missing because the timeline hasn't corrected itself yet but when I go back, I'll probably have a sick robot leg or some shit. You following me champ?"
"Yeah, yeah. It makes some sort of sense I guess. Okay one more question. Do I become a champion again in the future?"
"Pfft, duh. We're fucking awesome man."
"Fuck yeah!"
The pair high five. Future Gator pauses and looks at his watch for 4 seconds, precisely.
"You got your phone on you?"
"Yeah, why?"
Suddenly Gator's phone blasts out Gardenia by Kyuss as it vibrates in his pocket. Gator looks at himself and retrieves the phone from his pocket and placing it to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Sup homo."
"Frodo?"
"The one and only, hey how much for your Camaro?"
"What? It's not for-"
Future Gator shoots our Gator a look.
"... Er, six hundred bucks?"
Future Gator nods.
"Six hunna for that piece of shit? C'mon asshole it's for my son, and it's Christmas. Don't be a jackass."
"Fuck you! I'm doing your poor ass a favour here anyway. Six hundred, take it or fuck off."
"Gah, you're such a fucking stupid cunt! I'll catch a flight as soon as I can, see you soon."
"Yeah see ya man, oh one more thing before you go."
"What?"
"Fuck you!"
Gator hangs up the phone and places it back in his pocket as Future Gator chuckles.
"Hahaha, ah. I always loved our dynamic, us and Frodo. At each other's throats one minute, talking and going out for drinks the next. Right, I need to get this out the way now. What I need to tell you is, chill the fuck out."
"... Wait ... Seriously? That's it? You said it involves the cops!"
"It does! I mean, it will... Look, you go batshit insane from time to time, you fight two guys at once after coming straight out the hospital, you are still fucked up from that head injury and you made it worse now and your fucking heart! Remember how much shit our 'condition' can cause us? Just, from time to time, take it easy, chill out and save us a lot of pain. Okay?"
"Fuck, you are serious. Okay, okay, I'll try and take it easy. If it messes stuff up for me, I'll try. But, can I just ask why?"
".... You don't want to know the answer. Trust me. You'e not just doing this for ourselves, the way we act, it can... Hurt, a lot of people."
"... Shit. I get it, I'll take it easy."
"Good."
The pair relax in the hall as Todd comes is heard coming round the corner into the hall.
T: "Hey Gator who are you talkingAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJHAJAHAHAJHAHAHADHGEFGJASGFAUAFG!!!!!"
Todd passes out from the sight of two Gators and collapses in a heap on the floor.
"HUH! Todd! OH how I miss that chubby furry face, but I forgot how much of a pussy he was."
"Something happens to Todd in the future?"
"No ......... Well, if you don't pull any stupid shit he'll be fine. Right I'm off."
"Really? So soon? And your final words to me are the same ones I use when I'm leaving a friend's house?"
"Yes, yes and yes. It was nice seeing me younger again, I miss that ugly red mask from time to time."
The pair shake hands as Todd makes mumbles and groans on the floor. Future Gator walks to the door.
"See you later, I guess."
"Ha, yes you will. Peace man."
And with that, Future Gator left into the snow, leaving Gator alone with his thoughts, what will he have to change to make his life better and keep his loved ones sade? Only time will tell, but all I know for sure isOHMYGOD GATOR LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!
"Huh?"
Todd is twisting and convulsing, levitating in the air as a white aura surrounds him while a demonoc screams erupts from his mouth, Gator is in shock, not knowing what to do as he witnesses his friend slowly fall to the ground, landing on his feet as the aura disappears and silence returns.
"You know that right? You know how fucking you sound right now? Of course you don't know how fucking you sound because you are so fucking your owns words don't make any fucking sense to you. Congrats on the title win! Only way you could have got the belt is with the case you carried around, sure as hell couldn't do it with your fucking talent. Tell me though, how long do you plan on ducking competitors this time? I mean, you did it with the X-Treme belt, you ducked away from title defenses, you tried to do it with the TV title but you had to be forced into the wrong fucking match now didn't you. Fuck it felt good dropping your ass on the mat, can't wait to do it again."
"Stevie, Steven, Davey fucking boy. You did not send shockwaves around the XWF, you made a predictable cash in. People looked and saw, oh Davids is fighting tonight, oh yeah, he still has his briefcase ...Oh look Theo Pryce is fighting tonight, he has the Universal title, what a coincidence that Davids is also in the same arena with his briefcase. And every single person went, Steve fucking Davids is going to cash in on the Uni title like a predictable cunt. You shocked no one, you are dull and fucking predictable. Wanna know who sent shockwaves round the XWF? You've been buttfucked in a sex dungeon for way too long so you probably missed what happened, but not to worry, I'll give you the highlights. This guy called Shades came into the XWF, didn't do much, didn't strike anyone as a big deal but one night, he goes into this mini gauntlet on Warfare, the current Universal Champ Eli James, was also in that tournament and guess what happened next? Shades was in fact Angelus. Even I know who Angelus is, dude's a legend. And Shades aka Angelus cashed in with his case from long ago and won the belt from Eli."
"That, was a fucking good night. Everybody talked about that one. Moment number two. Remember your master? Not Heyman no, Enigma, the one who beat you within an inch of your life and tied you up in a dungeon, twice! Yeah, he sent shockwaves well, kinda. Go to War Games, an awesome little pay per view we held not too long ago. Theo Pryce was there, in spirit, he left his team to do his work while he enjoyed some champagne or whatever the guy does to relax. Anyway, Eli was there too, he got the Uni belt back from Shades after it was proved via blood test that Shades wasn't really Angelus. Shocking right? So, Eli and his tam put up a good fight and win their match, but wait, Theo Pryce comes out and kicks the ever loving shit out of Eli James, but why? Oh, because turns out the Theo Pryce was Enigma all along and had facts to prove it, Theo cashes in, wins the belt. That! Sent shockwaves."
"Do you really think anybody cares about you or your run of the mill cash in? Everybody saw it coming and nobody cares that you have the belt. Wanna know why? Because you won't keep it for long, because you don't deserve it. Like you didn't deserve the X-Treme belt or the TV title. Because you've been here longer than most and have done fuck all for the most part. You were gone for what? Three months? I barely heard people mention you, maybe Enigma when he was torturing you. Me? I was in the hospital for twenty odd days and when I came back I honestly felt like people were going to throw a fucking parade for me. You wanna know why? Because I don't need a briefcase or a title to replicate shockwaves, I make my fucking own and people love me for that."
"Whew, that was a bit of a tangent wasn't it? Right what did you say again?"
*Gator looks to the side of him to the written version of David's promo*
"In the long run I'll be nothing.... Huh, really? But I beat you, and I'm better than you in every way, so if I'll be nothing in the long run, what the fuck will you be? Less than nothing? But, you already are. I usually have a lot of respect for Universal Champions but I look at you and see that belt and it doesn't fit. Like seeing a kid starting high school in a uniform two sizes too big. Maybe you'll grow into that belt someday Davie but right now you look ridiculous. "
"I'm getting bored of talking to you already, I'll save the real trash talk for when you actually start the real stuff with me. But, just to go through some of the shit you said. One I beat you, and I'll beat you again, I might play duck, duck, goose this time before I pin, you know just to insult you even more. But LH teaming with me is a bad thing? No, again, I've already proved I'm better than you, I'm a great teammate! What's better than knowing your opponent can completely fuck up one of your opponents. Two, you talk about a lot of other people when trying to talk to your opponent, I used Shades and Theo as examples about how little people cared about your cash in but you! Fuck man, why the hell would Cain watch one of your promos? Why would anyone watch one of your promos for that matter. I could barely sit through them at Relentless. And finally, no I don't take anything seriously. Why should I? I wanna have fun man, I don't see you or Iris as threats so I'm not going to be a brooding asshole with you two. I didn't take you seriously at Relentless and I won, so I'm not going to take you seriously again."
"If it ain't broke don't fix it. But you Davie, fuck man, you've got a lot of fixing to do."
