Jester's Court
*The "Jester's Court" title card comes into focus as Holst's "Jupiter" plays. The title card dissolves to show a closeup of Jerry Bishop, seated in his beanbag chair with his smoking jacket and strawberry milk, scribbling in a notebook. Once the camera focuses, we see that Bishop is playing Tic-Tac-Toe. With himself.*
JB: Dangit! That's 47 games in a row! Maybe if I pick O's next time...
*Bishop spots the camera*
JB: Ah, yes, hello, and welcome once again to Jester's Court, where I give you lovely Freedom Fighters a more personal look at our FPW family. Tonight's guest made quite the splash returning from injury, please welcome Clutch McCloud!
*"This Fire" hits as Clutch and Crowley come out from off screen. Clutch is all smiles, but Crowley has a look of scornful disbelief. Clutch and Jerry do a random handshake, to which Crowley rolls his eyes.*
JB: Welcome to the show, Clutch, and nice to see you too, Mr. C!
Clutch: It's good to be here brother!
Crowley: (stoically) Charmed.
JB: Now Clutch, you've been out of action for quite some time. But now it seems like you're back and ready to go, especially given what happened last week with Jeremiah Johnson, Marcus, and the Pendragon. *thinks to himself* Hmm, good band name. *back to interview* Do you feel like you'll be at 100% for your tag match at our next show?
Clutch: Oh absolutely! I've tried to not think too much about Jeremiah Johnson, but he comes in acts like he owns the place, like he's better than everyone else...and I gotta tell ya Jer....that doesn't jibe with me.
JB: You haven't seen Marcus lately, then... Your career has taken you all around the world, and even to the likes of the WWE and New Japan. What drew you to FPW, and what role has Mr. C here played in your choices of promotion?
Clutch: I like to pretend Marcus doesn't exist. Something about Marks...they're just annoying.
But what brought me to FPW? You know, I've burned my bridges and dealt with my demons, but I faced them head on. Whatever I might have done in WWE, GFW, it's....over. But I got a second chance here and I'm going to do everything I can with it.
JB: I can appreciate that. Although most of my bridges were less burned and more chopped down by someone else like that scene in Temple of Doom. Heading into your tag match, not only are you facing off against Jeremiah Johnson, but you'll be facing off against Marcus Allen Jones, and you'll be tagging with Adam Thompson, the two current contenders for the FPW Championship. Do you feel comfortable having Thompson in your corner against two fierce competitors?
Clutch: Of course, Adam is a fantastic competitor who always brings the best out of people. And I'm not worried about Mark A.J. Styles, okay? I'll wipe the floor with him and then onto Jeremiah. And after THAT...I'm winning the FPW Championship.
JB: Well, while I'm sure you're itching to get your hands Jeremiah, and probably Marcus for obvious obnoxious reasons, for better or worse it's gonna be either Marcus or Thompson who walks out of Enter Sandman as the first ever FPW Champion. So I suppose the real question is- who would you rather challenge for the FPW title?
Clutch: You know, I've been thinking about that and I think I'd have to say it's a toss up. You know with Mark, hard to get a 5 star reaction from him unless you're anywhere near the Tokyo Dome...but the way that guy runs his mouth, I kind of want to introduce him to Mr. Socko. But with Adam, there's a lot of mutual respect there, I think. And like I said, he brings the best out of you. But if I had to pick one, I'd probably go Mark.
JB: Can't say I blame you, Clutch. Say, I just realized something. Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse? That's what I call my scooter. It's a lot of fun!
Crowley: Oh and just when I thought it wasn't a complete mistake to say no to The Late Show.....Mr. McCloud, are you quite done with this foolishness?
Clutch: (sucks air through teeth) I don't know, man....you're not gonna ride the horse? You always liked riding horses didn't you? What was that pony called?!? Was it Buttercup?
Crowley: I told you that in confidence! But I will take your word for it Mr. Bishop.
JB: That's a lovely name for a pony! My cousin has one named Captain Chadwick! Well, I'd like to thank the both of you for coming on the show tonight, and good luck in your match!
Clutch: Thanks Jerry, it's been a pleasure.
Crowley: (firmly with scorn) Oh yes, tonnes.
JB: That's, uh, that's not how we spell it in the US.
Crowley: And how can you tell?
JB: And that does it for Jester's Court, be sure to tune in next time for another edition of Jester's Court, and stay tuned for more FPW action! Now if only I could actually win one of these darn games...
*Bishop goes back to his notepad as Crowley and Clutch bicker as the camera fades out.*
