Johnny Gargano: comes out barely mustering a smile
Full Sailors: give him a good reaction regardless
Johnny: This has been a pretty interesting couple of weeks, hasn't it? I've shown the WWE Universe what NXT's all about as one of the newest main roster members, but just last week I had one of the toughest matches in my career against...Velveteen Dream. After I won the North American title in Phoenix I came out here and told the world Johnny Wrestling was back! And I was -- I was on top of the world -- we climbed the mountain together and introduced the world to Johnny Champion; but I had my first test as champion and failed.
Increasing Number Of Full Sailors: Johnny Failure! clap clap clapclapclap
Johnny Failure! clap clap clapclapclap
Johnny Failure! clap clap clapclapclap
Johnny: (looking ruefully into the live audience) ...yup, there it is. (looking back towards us) I failed myself, and I failed you all, too. I like the Johnny Champion chants, I still feel like a champion, but the harsh reality is that I don't have a title...so I've come to realize...the only reason I've ever had any success around here
PA: ♫ NO ONE WILL SURVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! ♫
#14: strides out, Goldie in tow per usual
Full Sailors: He's a champion! clap clap clapclapclap He's a champion! clap clap clapclapclap
#14: Save it, save it, save it, save it. Johnny, this is between you and I -- we've learned over the past week and a half that Johnny Gargano is at his best with Tomasso Ciampa in his life. On RAW, SmackDown Live, we win -- any time we step into that ring together
Full Sailors: DIY! DIY! DIY! DIY!
#14: ...the outcome is already determined. We win. But last week you had the title on the line and I offered you my help; you chose to go at it alone, and Johnny, you lost. enters the ring
Full Sailors: are suddenly all doing stellar Teller impersonations
#14: But that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Maybe it took you a year and a half to realize it, but we -- we need each other. This is destiny. While I'm holding Goldie, you might not be holding a title right now but we both know it doesn't have to be that way...since last week Regal announced the return of the Dusty Classic, where it all began for us. We've been through a lot together, but that's where the dream started for us. And winning it means a shot at the tag titles come Takeover: New York under the bright lights where you and I shine brightest. That can be our moment: New York can end the same way Phoenix did
Full Sailors: DIY! DIY! DIY! DIY!
#14: if we're on the same page, TO:NY ends with us side by side, champions. offers the Hand of Friendship
Johnny:
Johnny: (drops the mic)
Johnny:
Johnny: (see above)
Full Sailors: do the old D-Bry Yes chants!
#14: chuckles and leaves
Johnny: almost catatonic, nods in the ring then follows Ciampa's lead and leaves
Queen Cathy: compliments Ricochet on his "callup" and notes he has unfinished business with the Era
Ricochet: Well, Aleister & I remember catching beatdowns, yeah. To fight one of them you gotta fight them all, but no matter what the numbers are I feel comfortable with Mr. Black having my back, and I'm going to talk to Master Regal about us being in the Dusty Classic.
Johnny: has followed #14 outside
Candice Wrestling: looks pissed
#14: suddenly remembers he left the cat open and the door ran away
Candice: (bitterly) Again, huh?
Johnny: reaches for her
Candice: (still) recoiling MMMM. Mmmm.
Johnny: Trust me.
Candice: (yup, still) I hope you know what you're doing.
Johnny: You just have to trust me reaches for her
Candice: pulls away and storms off
Johnny: follows her
Certain Columnists Seeing Their Johnny Brasco Theory Still Alive: (a la C. Montgomery Burns) EXcellent.
Aliyah & Vanessa Borne: come out together (not like that)
Taynara Conti & Xia Li: same (same)
Taynara: lights them up
Aliyah: provides a distraction then tags in once Vanessa drops her from behind Straightjacket!
Full Sailors: clap to rally
Taynara: gets out from under and gets the tag
Xia: My style is kick! Kick! Kick!
Vanessa: blind tags in
Black Hats: execute a Blockbuster/backbreaker combo
Referee: Winners!
"Earlier Today", the Velveteen Dream: (arrived) ((arrived)) Don't ask the Dream how he is, ask the North American championship how it is getting a brand new experience.
the Undisputed Era: walk up
Some Guy: The only experience you'll feel is Adam Cole winning the belt from you. Why are you talking to Velveeta Dream? You should be talking to Fish & O'Reilly since they'll win the Dusty Classic and the tag belts after that.
Velveteen Dream: Such a big mouth on such a little man. The Dream is wondering how big it is when your friends aren't around; I'M the North American Champion, I'm the Velveteen Dream, and I don't have time for you boys. walks
the Era: (supremely offended, all yelling at once) EVERYONE HAS TIME FOR US! WE'RE MEN! WE'RE MEN, VELVEETA DREAM! You're farting up the wrong tree!
Queen Cathy: says Master Regal is finalizing the Dusty IV brackets...then gets sidetracked and moves down the hall
Bianca BelAir & Io Shirai: are yelling at each other
Serena Deeb: helps separate them
Bianca: UN DE FEA TED!
Io: [whatever WTF in Japanese is]
Dominik Dijakovic: comes out to a good pop
Keith Lee: does as well
Several Of Us: wonder why they're not in the Dusty eating fools alive, possibly literally
Full Sailors: (a la Seven Nation Army) ♫ Oh, bask in his glory! ♫ ♫ Oh, bask in his glorrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy! ♫
Dijakovic: tries to truck Keith, fails
Both: run the ropes
Keith: tries to hiptoss Dom, who lands on his feet
Full Sailors: applaud
Keith: offers the Ciampa Hand of Friendship
Dijakovic: fakes reciprocating and shoves him
Full Sailors: BOO!
Keith: tries to deadlift him in response, fails
Dijakovic: tries to monkey flip Keith, who lands on his feet -- not hearing the usual impact, sits shocked on the mat
Keith: slowly turns around and smiles at him
Full Sailors: give him a good reaction regardless
