Post Revolution episode 2
As a woozy Gaston Gillet & Arianna Manning make their way into Gorilla, Arianna squawks at a stagehand for some hand-sanitizer. He hands her a bottle.
Hand: Can’t be too careful with the pandemic, huh?
Arianna: Pandemic smandemic, I smacked Todd Williams, fuck knows where that asshole’s face has been!
She tosses the bottle back to the hand, before putting her arm around Gaston.
Arianna: You okay there big man? God damn Stone and his sucker punching bullshit. I’m sorry, I should have been more help out there... but with Todd creeping and all the shit I...
She stops talking for a moment as they walk the halls.
Arianna: Fucknuggets.
Gaston: I can’t believe I lost
He says huffing and puffing like the proverbial big bad french wolf.
Arianna: Wins and losses happen sweetcheeks, it’s not the end of the world and--
Gaston: Yeah but Chirstelle..she was looking forward to watching mon debut, she was already mad because I wasn’t on the first show and now when I finally made it, I got outsmarted by that scoundrel Stone. First he makes passes at you, defiling your delicate presence and now he also took my chance to win on my debut. This didn’t go too bon did it Ari?
Arianna: It went like... super merde.
She kicks at a nearby production crate.
Arianna: Look on the bright side. We’re likely done with Stone. He can have his stupid battle royale. Me & you can move on to bigger and better things.
-----
ONE DAY LATER
Arianna: WHY ARE YOU TEAMING WITH THAT BASTARD?!
He sit there, baffled on the hotel room bed, smiling at her sheepishly.
Gaston: ..maybe they wanted to give us a new chance at being les amies? I mean maybe we just started with the wrong foot and with enough teamwork it could be just what we need.
Arianna sighs.
Arianna: ..........Maybe. I didn’t sleep well thanks to your darling sister.
Gaston: Is that why you were late to bed?
Arianna: She spent two hours on the phone yelling about how I didn’t prepare you properly, and now she lost fifty euros. Again. It only ended because she ended up waking the baby next door and the mum got mad and came round. I learned some great new French abuse though... from both her and the mom.
Gaston: She’s my sister, she’s just trying to help you know.
Arianna: Sweetie, there’s more to wrestling than just punching people in the nose.
Gaston: True I mean you do some vicious slaps too.
Arianna: Well I am what they call a multi talented manager.
Gaston: You sure are great!
He looks at her adoringly and she almost melts her heart in the process, until she remembers the upcoming match again.
Arianna: You are not off the hook yet monsieur! This is a stupid idea to tag with Stone, he’s bound to screw you over again!
He shrugs.
Gaston: I guess I could ask Monsieur Bradely if he could pair me up with Hope Williams instead. I mean she said she would do anything to win and she seemed really fond of me in her interview and--
Arianna: MATT STONE IS AN EXCELLENT PARTNER! Go Team Stone/Gillet WOO!
Gaston: But- you said--
Arianna: Nevermind what I said. We’re making this work. Besides, if Stone screws you, you’ll get a loss. If Hope does it you might get herpes. Woman seems a little on the... well, as my momma used to say, “she’s never done a day’s work vertically in her life”.
Gaston: Wow, must be hard to spend a whole day like that. She’s aged well for a manual laboress clearly. Besides I’m not sure how fair it is that me and Stone get put up against a pair of women..
She scoffs at him.
Arianna: Shush! Women are equal to men so they will be fine! Besides you like winning matches don’t you?
He nods.
Arianna: More than you do losing matches right?
He nods repeatedly.
Arianna: and you DO wanna make me happy don’t you?
He nods furiously.
Arianna: Then no more of this about feeling like it isn’t fair. Stone maybe a massive dick, but he won. If you team with him SURELY you will win too.
Her man seems to be deep in thought, pondering.
Arianna: isn’t that right dear?
Gaston: Huh?
Arianna: What were you thinking?! I’m trying to have a conversation here!
He looks down in shame.
Gaston: Pardon, I was just wondering that if he is such a massive dick he sure hides it well. I mean I have a hard time fitting into my trunks sometimes and..
Arianna: NOBODY’S EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOUR TRUNKS MISTER! HUSH UP!
Gaston: ..well Don Tirri did and--
Arianna: WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT DON TIRRI SAYS! YOU ARE WEARING THOSE TRUNKS! THEY ARE GREAT JUST LIKE YOU!
Gaston: Awww, thanks Ari. You are always so encouraging.
Arianna: I am? Look enough of this. The important thing is we need to reach out to Stone before the match. The last thing any of us needs is another loss on your record. If your sister loses any more money betting on your matches she’s gonna have to start dating creepy rich guys again. And you remember what happened last time?
Gaston: uh-huh.
Arianna: And the two times before that?
Gaston: Uh-huh.
Arianna: So no more losing mister!
Gaston: Nope, I’m gonna be the very best, that no one ever was!
Arianna: ..and no more Pokemon either! That is all just a money making machine for the evil Japanese animation corporations and other insundry franchises

“Gaston, The Fans Choose You”.
With the ever quick moving world of social media these days as we move into the third show of the Revoluton, the official UPRISING app has now launched on IOS & Android, where you can keep up with your favourite wrestlers tweets, promos and news. It also has a feature where you can send in questions for wrestlers to answer and today we have Arianna & Gaston Gillet doing just that on this special feature piece on the app.
Arianna: Howdy fans of the Revolution! Ari here with your main man the big double G, and we’re here answering fan questions on the new UPRISING app! Available now on IOS & Android!
Gaston: They have androids now?
Arianna: Android phones, sweetie. You guys have been sending in your questions for the big man, so I’m gonna read them out and he can answer them. Now I’m hoping you’ve all behaved because I haven’t screened these.
Gaston: You’re reading them blind?
Arianna: Thought it would come across more natural. First! Jamie from Portland, Oregon wants to know “Did you have any wrestling idols growing up”?
Gaston: Bonjour Jamie, what a great question. Growing up I grew up idolizing some of the lesser known true greats of the industry that very few seem to remember these days. Like the legendary TJ Smith, Jack Hall, Perry Jones or the great Leon Duran. I’m sure some of you might have heard of those names but just like with every fan I think. All we need is to see the people perform at their best and you are mesmerized by the personas, the abilities and sheer love for what they do. For every Slick Reed and Vlad Willimas there are always dozens of people who come and go through the territories without being as much as a flash on the pan. Hopefully one day someone would name me as their inspiration to getting into wrestling. As a fan myself, inspiring others to do something that I love so much, would be the ultimate honor.
Arianna: Great question, great answer! Okay next we have one from Shelby in Texas. “I was sad to see you lose to Stone on the last show. I know you’re teaming with him this week, but do you plan to shut him up in the future?”
Gaston: D’aww pardon for making you sad Shelby, I was not best pleased about how the match ended myself, but these things happen. Sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue as Saint Trevor Of Brighouse said I believe. I don’t know if it’s my business to shut Stone up or if it’s something anyone is truly capable of but what I am hoping to do going forward with my appearances in Uprising is to cheer you up Shelby!
Arianna: Team Gaston all the way! Terry from Venice Beach wants to know “Hey Gaston, how do you keep your body in such good shape? Do you have a special diet or take vitamin supplements?”
Gaston: Well Terry, let me tell you something brother, my special diet is Arianna’s home cooking but I can’t share those family recipes really. I do eat my vitamins, say my prayers and go to church every Sunday. So while the God above blesses us all our mission is to make him proud of us in all that we do. As far as keeping in shape goes, do the best you can with what you have, always and forever your pal and friend GG
Arianna: Okay, next is... hmmm...
Gaston: what?
Arianna: From a C.GILLET IN MARSEILLE...
Gaston: Nice! I’m from Marseille!
Arianna: GASTON, this is your sister!
Gaston: So? What did she ask?
Arianna: Fine... “Hey Gaston, can you please win this tag match for me? I put my rent money on you to win...” GOD DAMMIT MAN, your sister has a gambling problem!!!
He looks at the camera with a deeply concerned look on his face.
Gaston: Fans, folks and fine people watching this. I’d like to take this moment to ask you all to never gamble any more than you can afford to lose. Addictions are real issues and there are programs and assistance you can seek for them. Do it for your loved ones, for those of us who care, stay responsible adults and look after yourselves. You are all important, loved and valued beyond whatever you think your self worth is..
We hear Arianna sob a bit as she dries her eyes.
Arianna: ..that’s great baby, now can you please answer your sister?
Gaston: That can be any C. Gillet from Marseille you know.
Arianna: Yeah, and I might be the pope.
Gaston: Be that as it may your holiness. I don’t like you making such assumptions I mean it could be my cousin Claude for all I know!
Arianna: Whatever.
Gaston: So “Christelle” IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME, I am always doing my best to win all of my matches and whether I win or lose. I am making sure that as long as I am on a show the fans are watching or in live attendance, you all get your money's worth. I thank you for your trust in me and appreciate the confidence. However I would suggest not betting something as important as rent money on sporting events because when the Revolution is televised..anything can happen in UPRISING.
Arianna: Fantastic, I guess. Okay, one more question, this one from Michael in Atlanta. “Your girl Ari is a real southern Belle, how do you find living in the Southern US and have you picked up any redneck tendencies?”
Gaston: Howdy Michael, I’ve got to admit that my skills in the southern lifestyle do leave some room for improvement but I’m a heck of a ranch hand, I’ve been learning some horseback riding and even got my first proper cowboy hat. So I’m working my way there with the boots and chaps later. However as far as redneck tendencies go. I’m thinking that if I ever expand my interests outside of the ring I’d love to open up a saloon and run that. Love to see folks enjoy the southern hospitality and putting on a proper good ol’ ho-down like only they know how to. Country legends, rock and roll and a whole lot of bad streets to explore. This truly is a beautiful nation we get to live in and I’m as proud as ever to be red, white and blue-just like you.
Arianna: Ya’ll..
Gaston: Huh?
Arianna: You are supposed to say ya’ll that’s the proper way.
Gaston: Darn, well I’ll get it right next time.
Arianna: Well, that’s all for today, thank y’all for the questions! And make sure to tune in, Saturday night live on SPLAT to see all the great UPRISING action!
