It was a pleasant day, what a time to be alive. Luther Marcellus Thunder sat down in the den of his Reno residence, dressed in one of his tailored suits, holding a fine refreshing beverage in one hand a remote controller in the other as he clicked on the play and started to watch his next challenger’s video response to his he smiled widely.
LUTHER THUNDER
See Esme, she gets me, she knows exactly what I am about and she’s dancing to the very tune I’m playing, I’m almost sorry that I will have to beat her at Inferno, because for once there is a respectable opponent and contender in place and I haven’t got to face too many of those during my career.
The further the video went the less he was smiling Esme saw his grip tensing up on the glass, her husband’s whole posture change. It looked like the very veins bulged and throbbed along with the quicker breathing.
LUTHER THUNDER
...that, that ungrateful little jezebel! That blown up trollop! Did you hear that?! She’s boasting about beating me like she already had this match in the bag?! She’s talking about putting me in the burning embers, about breaking my arm..this little whore does not just plan on winning,she’s trying to humiliate me to make an example of me to break me
His wife chuckled.
ESME THUNDER
Dancing to your tune, huh?
LUTHER THUNDER
THIS IS NOT A JOKE ESME! SHE KNOWS SHE CAN’T BEAT ME SO SHE CHOOSES TO THROW THE WHOLE MAIN EVENT MATCH OUT OF THE WINDOW AND TO BREAK MY ARM, SHE WANTS TO MAKE A NAME FOR HERSELF BY SIDELINING ME, KNOWING FULL WELL I CAN’T DEFEND THE UPRISING CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A BROKEN ARM, SHE’S HOPING FOR JACKSON TO VACATE THE TITLE AND GIVE HER A CHANCE TO FACE SOMEONE WEAKER, SOMEONE SHE CAN BEAT SO SHE CAN TAKE MY CHAMPIONSHIP AND RUB IT ALL OVER HER SISTERS FACES! THAT SELFISH SLUT!
Esme grins.
ESME THUNDER
Orrrrr... maybe she thinks she can beat you? She seems pretty damn confident to me. I kinda get the impression she knows all your huffing and puffing was bogus. Guess those Welsh valley girls are smarter than you gave them credit for, huh?
He gulps down the whole drink in one go and snarls.
LUTHER THUNDER
I gave her a chance, I could have given her the best damn match of her career, her life on a silver platter and she throws it back in my face like it’s nothing!
ESME THUNDER
Maybe she just thinks she’s gonna do something Don Tirri couldn’t do, can you imagine what it will do to her career or her status in UPRISING if she manages to beat you and leaves Inferno with the championship?
LUTHER THUNDER
You are my wife! My manager! Why do you have to keep hyping her up?!
ESME THUNDER
Well sweetie, you were actually the one who hyped her up first I thought this was your plan, to build her up. I think she got pretty big, don’t you?
She saw Luther twitch, looking like he was holding back tears.
LUTHER THUNDER
This wasn’t what I meant at all! This..this...girl is out to ruin me, I gave her praise, I gave her validation and she thinks she can take everything from me.
Esme is silent for a moment, before bursting into laughter.
ESME THUNDER
What? Did you think she was going to just lie down and let you win? Sure, you bigging her up COULD have made her complacent, but there was always a risk it could create a bigger monster for you to slay.
LUTHER THUNDER
YOU COULDN’T HAVE TOLD ME THIS BEFORE?!
ESME THUNDER
What, am I your mother? Don’t you worry, Luthie. It’ll be fine. You’re the best wrestler in this company. You’re the CHAMPION. And that means it doesn’t matter who you face or how puffed up they are... you’re going to win. Because you’re the best, right? And if she does beat you... then you’re no longer the best. And therefore don’t deserve that shiny belt you have there. That’s kinda how the business works, sweetie.
He grumbles
LUTHER THUNDER
I am the damn business, this is my championship, my company and no silicone inflated sisterhood of traveling pants is going to take it away from me. She’ll have to kill me to get that win..
ESME THUNDER
There’s my big bad husband, besides. You really think she could break your arm, have you seen the size of your arms?! Honey you got the power, throw her around, slam her, torment and torture her. She won’t be even thinking about you tapping if she’s too worried about keeping consciousness or her breath going..
Luther looks at his arms and smirks.
LUTHER THUNDER
I like that idea Esme, I like it a lot.
She smirks back at him.
ESME THUNDER
You will not hear me say this too often darling so perk up those ears, I want you to get in to that ring and pound her ass black and blue, pummel it like there’s no tomorrow because if you don’t she’ll bend you over her little knees and give you such a spanking in front of the whole world that you’ll never give anyone any praises again, and we’ve worked too hard for you to just choke and lose that championship now. I really like how it looks on you too, makes you even more handsome than you already were.
He sticks out his chest proudly and smugly smirks.
LUTHER THUNDER
I am the champion, the king, the boss the biggest--
ESME THUNDER
Let’s not get carried away here big boy, you may be all that and a bag of chips but just remember that that’s in the ring, in that company but outside the ring and in this household…
He smiles at her like a loveable overgrown puppy.
LUTHER THUNDER
Have I told you how much I love you, my delicate little flower?
She blows him a kiss.
ESME THUNDER
You truly are a sweetheart, too bad nobody ever sees it but me.
