FIGHT GRID EXCLUSIVE: Unseen footage surfaces from cruise week!

[SCREENBAR – DISNEY CRUISE LINE’S ‘DISNEY WISH’ CRUISE SHIP; LAST WEEK]

{Fight Grid opens up to footage of the ‘Disney Wish’ Cruise Ship last week while it was at sea for Elite Answers Wrestling and their set of go home shows leading to Fighting Spirit. It was lively the entire time with many activities to do on the ship and many events as well, including multiple wrestler panels with Elitists from each brand participating. What was currently being shown was one of them, in the middle of question taking with Elitists such as Donovan Duke, Chris Elite, Ruler, and Theron Nikolas involved, with the panel itself being hosted coincidentally by Fight Grid host Molly Waters.)

Molly Waters: We’ll continue with the questions for any of the Elitists on stage.

(The previous questioner steps away while the next person steps up to the microphone.)

Hannah: Oh em gee thank you! My name is Hannah, and my question is to Ruler, my favorite Elitist! Fighting Spirit is getting close and I would just love to see you in action again! Do you have any plans?

(Ruler’s calm face slowly rises to a smirk, knowing what he has in mind for the next Dynasty when he would inevitably attack PJ Hendrx and get himself an Interwire Championship match at the event. That, though, is only a thought in his head, as he leans forward in his seat.)

Ruler: Nothing is guaranteed in this company. I’ve had a lot of opportunities that didn’t go my way and while I take a moment every so often to dwell on those performances and look at it from an optimistic point of view, I never can savor it to the fullest knowing I didn’t complete the mission. Pain For Pride is very close and I know that the closer it gets, the less time that I have, so all I can really do is seize every chance that I get to make sure that one way or another I end up with a title around my waist. That being said, Fighting Spirit is very important for me. I will be on the card, and whatever opportunity I find myself having I will make the best of it.

Hannah: He’s so dreamy. 😍😍😍

Molly Waters: Thank you for the question, whoever is next can step forward.

Mark: Hello my name is Marcus, you can call me Mark, and this is a question for Jay. We saw what happened at Grand Rampage when you lost-

Jay Jerry Johnson: You don’t need to remind me, can we move onto the question, please?

Mark: Uhh yes… What’s next for you? Do you plan to go after the Interwire Championship again or is it something else?

Jay Jerry Johnson: There’s a time and a place to talk about that and I promise you that you will hear my thoughts on the matter when Super Dynasty comes around and I have the opportunity to speak in front of a camera. But right now I know not to be so taken down by what happened to me at Grand Rampage. I know it sucks and people are going to use it against me, but as they saw when I got a win over Limmy Monaghan and PJ Hendrx on last week’s show, they shouldn’t make the mistake of counting me out just yet. They haven’t seen the last of Jay Jerry Johnson and I will make my presence known.

Molly Waters: Thank you, we may continue.

Jimmy: Hi my name is Jimmy and this is uh a question for Theron Nikolas. Going to the Fighting Spirit card and all the title matches that are on the line, do you have any thoughts on them?

(Theron takes a moment, scoffing to himself slightly.)

Theron Nikolas: I think it’s safe to say that they’re all pretty predictable. I wish I could find a reason to care about any of those matches but they don’t involve me so I don’t really look that far into it. Milli Banks versus Candice Blair is about as predictable as you expect it to be, I can’t be bothered to even think about another Myles and Drake King match for the EAW World Championship, and Chris Elite hasn’t won a singles Championship since 2018 so it wouldn’t shock me to see Veena retain in their match.

Chris Elite: Can you repeat that, my good sir? 🙂

(Theron turns his head and stops speaking, not coming to the realization that Chris himself was sitting right there, but frankly that wasn’t going to make a difference anyway.)

Theron Nikolas: My bad, I said Chris Elite hasn’t won a singles Championship since 2018 so it wouldn’t shock me to see Veena retain in their match.

Chris Elite: I think you have me mistaken for another person, pal. 🙂

Theron Nikolas: No, no, I don’t think I do.

Chris Elite: You know I find that funny coming from the person who isn’t even on the Fighting Spirit card and who I could very well say the same thing for. Former longest reigning Answers World Champion then what? So I don’t think a bozo like you should be saying anything when you fell off the face of the Earth yourself and haven’t made an effort to do something about it. Make it make sense.

Theron Nikolas: Oh but it wasn’t about me, was it? I was just giving my opinion on the matter, and quite frankly, even if it was, why should I bother about your opinion in the first place? Now that doesn’t make much sense, does it? Myself being on the Fighting Spirit card and the amount of titles that I’ve won is irrelevant in your argument considering the fact that you’ve not only not won a singles title since 2018, but have been a charity case that has been catered to every step of the way. You’ve been given the benefit of the doubt for all of your mistakes and even rewarded for it at times, and you don’t deserve any of that.

Chris Elite: Say that to my face.

(Chris is seconds away from standing up from his seat and Theron, accepting the challenge, looking to do the same, but Molly quickly interjects.)

Molly Waters: I think that’s enough for that question, thank you very much for asking! Uhh I think we can move onto the next one for another one of our Elitists thank you!

(Molly nervously tugs her collar while Chris takes a deep breath and leans back in his seat, Theron rolling his eyes and sitting back down completely as well. The panel continues but for Fight Grid, the scene begins to fade out from there.)

(Fight Grid logo buzzes.)
