Gavin Grimes is sitting down behind a desk, a microphone in front of him. Reporters have filled up the room, as The Cult Classic is there to give a few statements at this press conference. One reporter begins to speak but Grimes cuts him off.
Gavin Grimes: Hey now, let’s relax for a minute. I know ya’ll got questions, but I don’t feel like conforming to your ideal press conference. So, put your microphones down, pull out a pen and your scratch paper and get ready to take some notes.
The crowd of reporters gasp for a moment before going silent.
Gavin Grimes: Before I get to Carli, let me talk about the rest of the field. Maybelline Moss? Wrestling? Are you serious?
Grimes scoffs and rolls his eyes.
Gavin Grimes: She’s a dope promoter usually but this? This is kind of trash. But, it is what it is. I guess our boy Kendrick Kross needed an easy dub.
He chuckles and shakes his head.
Gavin Grimes: Speakin’ of Kross, it was so cute how he was all like to Carli, ‘well, if I don’t win, I hope it’s you. Us underdogs gotta stick together!’ Really, bro?
Gavin laughs out loud.
Gavin Grimes: Kendrick, underdogs don’t call themselves underdogs. Besides, you’re a sorry piece of shit. Don’t go acting nice like you’re some good guy, you ain’t. I’ve seen the shady shit you pull in Liberty. Give me a break. And like I told you before, you can talk all nice to Carli but she ain’t gonna fuck you, bruh. But hey, enjoy the one easy thing you’ll ever get in your life and that’s a win on Moss. Fuckin’ trash.
He shook his head.
Gavin Grimes: Then we got Jack Graves versus Tiff. Tiff is dope, I love her. She’s usually down on herself cuz of how people treat her but honestly? She’s talented as hell. Jack though? That man is hell on wheels. Here’s where I see things though… Tiff is feeling herself. Jack though? He just wants to destroy right now. He broke up with Ray, he’s hurt, he’s mad. Dude is gonna slip up. If not against Tiff? It’ll be later on against me. And as for Tiff later in this tournament? Let’s see how she’s holding up after Megan Manning and Pierce Manning fight her two on one in a hell in a cell in MWE. She’s got her work cut out for her.
Gavin paused and nodded as he thought about the last matchup.
Gavin Grimes: Then we got Minerva and Veronica Sawyer. Both of these ladies can bring the pain. Minerva has done it as a tag team competitor but also has a great deal of accomplishments as a singles competitor. Though, I find it interesting she joined up here when she’s been focusing on her tag shit. Minerva has been decent lately but Veronica? She’s the dark horse for me in this whole damn thing. She’s been on fire in High Roller and now in this tournament. My best friend Maddux knows how to pick em, doesn’t he?
Gavin chuckles.
Gavin Grimes: I got Veronica in this one. Honestly? I think it’s me and her in the finals. Now, before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about me and Carli Davis.
Gavin stands up from the table he’s behind and takes the mic in his hand.
Gavin Grimes: Honestly? If she was at the other end of the bracket? I’d pick her to fight me in the finals. She’s tough as nails. But she’s also been down on herself since she lost the Valiant Championship to her friend, Emily Carter. And I mean, I can see why Carli is down. She probably didn’t have that fire she usually has. That happens when you fight one of your besties, I think. Well, not for me, but for other people, that fire just ain’t there. I mean, I watched it, I saw it. Now, Carli has been looking for that fire. Well, I’m challenging you to fire yourself up. You don’t need me to motivate you though, and you don’t need training with Jack Graves to get you going again.
He shook his head vehemently.
Gavin Grimes: All you need is yourself. You just need that heart that you’ve had ever since those early days in EPW. Yeah, I been watching you since then. You finally broke through the glass last year, and I’m proud of you. But that’s just one layer of glass to break through. You got a shit ton more to break and this match against me? That’s another one. I don’t gotta explain what I bring to the table. You know it and I know it. It’s why you came out and said you’re probably gonna lose. But hey, I’m glad you’re getting your confidence back because you know damn well I ain’t going to go easy on your ass. No matter how you’re feeling. And if you ain’t feelin’ like yourself? I’m gonna make sure by the end of this match? That you feel like Carli Davis again.
He nods confidently.
Gavin Grimes: So bring me everything you got. More than that shit you brought against Emily Carter, more than you brought against anyone else. This Maybelline Moss Invitational is a big deal. The best of the best signed up, besides Kendrick Kross, so let’s show the fuckin’ world why we’re two of the best to do it. You hear me? Good. See you out there, champ.
Gavin drops the mic and walks out. Cameras flash as they take pictures of Gavin and some reporters try to yell out last second questions but Gavin ignores it.
