The bell rings, and the Foundry is shaking. Graysie Parker is calm but coiled, belts handed off to the attendant as the crowd chants her name. Eric Dane Jr. paces like a storm, tugging at his hair, jawing at Jeffrey Daniels before they’ve even locked up. Daniels just grins, flicks his thick hair back, and shows off the dangling chain at his hip like it’s both a fashion statement and a threat. Lee Scott Rothlesberger leans in the corner, smirking, eyes scanning the ring like he’s already five moves ahead.
Robbie Ray Carter:
The Iron City Tag Team Title tournament rolls on, and this one’s got venom baked into it—the New Untouchables—Jeffrey Daniels and Lee Scott Rothlesbeger—against Graysie Parker and Eric Dane Jr.
Eric Dane Sr.:
I’ve known kids like these two all my life. Daniels wants the spotlight, wants to be Jeff Andrews. Lee R.? He’s the brains. The Kai Scott cosplay, who makes sure the plan works. Together they’re poison.
Angus Skaaland:
Don’t forget cheap cologne and worse attitudes. They’re everything that makes me want to drink.
Daniels starts for the New UTs, cocky grin, hair flip. Graysie steps forward, and the crowd surges. They circle, lock up, Daniels with a cheap knee to the gut, spinning back elbow, flips his hair again, and mugs like he just won the match. Graysie wipes her mouth, nods once, then as he turns around she explodes with a shoulder tackle that wipes him out. He scrambles up into a snapmare, dropkick to the jaw, and bails to the apron, clutching his face.
RRC:
The Iron City Ace isn’t here to play mallrat games.
Sr.:
That’s why she’s the double champ: work ethic, fundamentals, and the fire to back it up.
Daniels tags out, waving his arms like he needs a break. LSR steps in cool and collected, hands out, facing Graysie but jawing at Jrr., who’s practically begging for the tag. Graysie obliges.
Jr. comes in hot, chopping Lee into the corner, the sound cracking through the rafters. A whip reversed, but Jr. rebounds with a flying forearm that pops the crowd. He kips up, smirks, throws his arms wide. Daniels hollers from the apron, demanding to be tagged back in.
Angus:
Somebody tell the mall ninja to sit down. He’s not ready for this.
Momentum doesn’t last. LSR rolls out of a suplex attempt, sweeps the legs, and lands a quick kick to the jaw—sharp, precise, no wasted motion. He drags Jr. into their corner, tag to Daniels, who comes in throwing stomps and then whips out the wallet chain from his belt loop. He wraps it around Jr.’s throat, yanking back while the ref’s tied up with Lee. When the official turns, Daniels drops the chain and flips his hair, protesting his innocence.
RRC:
He’s choking him right in front of us!
Sr.:
And Lee made sure the ref was looking the other way. That’s the playbook.
The Untouchables cut the ring in half, quick tags, stomps, a flurry of superkicks that nearly put Jr. down. They taunt Graysie constantly, Daniels blowing kisses at her, LSR smirking like this is just another execution of the plan. The crowd rallies, stomping the bleachers. Jr. eats a suplex-splash combo, kicks out at two, roars and fires off a desperate enzuigiri that staggers Daniels. Dive—tag to Graysie.
The Foundry explodes. Graysie storms in like a machine, clotheslines for both, a spinebuster to LSR, shotgun knee to Daniels that gets a red-hot near fall. She hooks him for a fisherman’s suplex, but Lee chop-blocks the knee. The ref corrals him, Jr. tags himself in, springboards with a clothesline, nails Daniels with a DDT. Cover! The fans count along—one, two—ref’s being dragged into the corner by Lee, screaming about phantom tags.
Sr.:
There it is again. He’s got the referee in his pocket.
RRC:
And look, Daniels is rolling to the floor—wait a second, he’s got brass knuckles!
Daniels slips the knucks into the laces of his boot. Jr. grabs LSR from the corner, hauls him up for a suplex. Daniels blasts Jr across the jaw with a roundhouse kick. Jr. drops like a stone. Lee lands on his feet. Daniels sprawls on top of Jr. as LSR cuts Graysie off with a springboard missile dropkick. The ref turns—one, two, three!
The place erupts in boos. Daniels pops to his feet, hair flying, screaming into the hard cam like he’s conquered the world. LSR smirks coolly behind him, tapping his taped waist like everything went to plan.
RRC:
Brass knuckles! This whole thing was theft in broad daylight!
Sr.:
Don’t call it advancing in the tournament. Call it what it is—cheating, just like their idols taught ‘em.
Angus:
Hot Topic and Spencer’s Gifts just stole one, and they’re proud of it. Makes me sick.
The New UTs strut up the ramp. Daniels spins the confiscated chain like a trophy, flipping his hair with exaggerated flair, while Lee just smirks and points back to the ring. Inside, Jr. spits blood, clutching his jaw, pounding the ropes with both fists. Graysie slides in, kneels beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder, trying to settle him down. He shoves her off.
RRC:
Whoa—Junior just shoved Graysie away.
Sr.:
That’s a mistake. A big mistake.
Jr. is pacing, screaming at the curtain, daring the New Untouchables to come back and fight him again. Graysie stands tall behind him, belts slung over her shoulders, eyes locked on him. The crowd murmurs, watching the double champ look at her partner like she’s not sure she recognizes him.
RRC:
The New Untouchables advance, but what’s more dangerous is what we just saw in this ring. Eric Dane Jr. is coming apart at the seams.
Sr.:
You can blame Daniels and Lee R. for the theft, but that crack you just saw between him and Graysie? That’s his to answer for.
Angus:
And she didn’t look one bit forgiving about it.
The last image is Jr. pounding the ropes, wild-eyed and apoplectic, while Graysie stands tall, stoic, her gaze sharp as steel. Fade to black.
