The cameraman is walking down the hall as the feed begins, and after a moment, he stops. Just before him are three people: Yugo Ryan, Melissa Rez, and the first United States Champion, Lino, whose title belt is placed on the table, just in front of his crossed arms. Melissa is shuffling a deck of cards in her hands as Yugo and Lino stare intently at each other.
"So, word making the rounds backstage is that Johnny's planning on putting us in a tag team match." Yugo looks to Melissa and nods once, his gaze lining back up with Lino as Melissa hands each of them one single card.
"That why you invited me to play this game?" Lino asks, grinning.
"Cards up." Melissa interrupts, as Lino and Yugo both press their assigned card to their forehead. Yugo looks to Lino's forehead and frowns when he sees the King of Hearts pressed against his skull. Yugo slams his card down, the both of them returning their card to Melissa.
"Partially." Yugo falls silent as Melissa returns to shuffling the deck. After a few moments of silence, he cracks another grin. "Actually, I haven't the slightest idea who our opponents will be, or even if we really will end up in the same corner. That is, assuming, of course, that Johnny even does book us in a tag team match." Melissa slides them each a fresh card, and Yugo grins before they even raise their cards. "Ha, ha. I've got you, this time."
"Cards up." Melissa states, as Yugo and Lino raise their cards. Yugo's grin quickly becomes a frown as Lino laughs.
"Your luck just isn't cooperating tonight, is it?" Lino sets down his card, the King of Hearts once again, and smiles. "Now, really, why did you ask me here?"
"Would you be at all interested in a...'partnership'?" Yugo asks, cocking an eyebrow and getting straight to the point.
"Sorry, bud. You see this strap? How it says 'Lino' on it? That says to me that I'm doing just fine on my own." Lino states, standing and slinging his United States Championship belt over his shoulder.
"Right, well, of course, you might as well go now, then." Yugo states, as Lino begins to walk off, a number of King of Hearts cards falling from his sleeve as Yugo watches, eyebrow raised.
(Fade. Or tag, I suppose, if anybody wants to do anything with it.)
