After a commercial for "SummerScam", Madman Marcum is seen standing outside the Allied Powers locker room. He appears to be very nervous...
Marcum: Oh boy, oh boy! Another interview with the champs!
Marcum knocks on the door, and Jeeves, the loyal butler to the Powers, opens the door, and waves Marcum in.
Marcum: Gentlemen! I hope you received the gift baskets I sent you, honoring your accomplishments at WarGasms!
JLA: We did, Marcum. Thank you for being so thoughtful.
Marcum: Well champs, tonight you have the opportunity of a lifetime: you will defend the World Tag Titles against IC Champ Joe Mama, and his nemesis Big Cheese Champion PenWing! These two sworn enemies truly are an "Unholy Alliance"! If one of your opponents gets pinned or submits, they lose their title to whoever defeats them! If you or Howdy gets pinned or sub...
Both JLA and Howdy get in Marcum's face.
Marcum:...not that it is going to happen, but...if by some act of God, if one of you were to pin or tap out, you'd not only lose your individual title, but the tag titles would go to the Alliance!
JLA: Yes, Howdy and I are well aware of the risks involved...which are none. Let me say this again: We. Cannot. Be. Defeated!
We are the greatest tag team of all-time! It wasn't too long ago, that we defeated the teams of Joe Mama/King Snarf, AND Penwing with his ally Captain Sammitch, to create these magnificent titles!
Now these fierce rivals, who will compete for the Big Cheese Title soon, are putting their differences aside and trying to topple us.
Do you know why that is, Madman?
Marcum: Because you and Howdy attacked them after their intergender match?
Howdy Wrong answer, wanker!
Marcum starts to stutter nervously.
Marcum: Thhh...That....that's...what Monroe told me to say!
JLA and Howdy look at each other, then at Marcum, and shake their heads.
JLA: No. This isn't about revenge for beating them down after the intergender match. This is about our Tag Titles. We have taken tag team wrestling to new heights, and these belts are the most prestigious belts in the RDCW.
That's why the holders of the supposed top two individual titles have joined forces. They know that for all of their singular glory, the highlight of their careers would be defeating us and taking our gold.
Everyone has already forgotten about the title reigns of Joe Mama/King Snarf, and PenWing/Captain Sammitch. They know this, so they want to team up and be the first ones to defeat us. They want their place in RDCW history.
So they went to thedoctor, and begged...*begged* him for the
title match. As the Champions, we had the right to refuse their request. But after careful consideration, we agreed: if only they'd be willing to put something on the line as well:
something to make tonight's main event more interesting:
their precious singles titles.
I already have the only true World Title: the DCMB hampionship. Howdy already has the title of the division that he is a legend in: The Hardcore Porn Championship. Taking either the IC or Big Cheese Belt is icing on an already big cake.
Marcum: Do you think Joe and PenWing will be able to put their animosity for each other aside, and work as a team?
JLA: Of course. One thing overrides their hatred of each other: their desire to get our Tag Team Championships. I fully expect them to watch each other's backs, and to give their best collective effort. It won't matter.
Both of them can talk about hating Howdy and I, but this all about them wanting to be where we are...but they're not taking our belts, or our place in tag team wrestling.
Marcum: I never did get your comments about WarGasms, or...
JLA: And you're not going to. Not this week. Next week, Captain Howdy is hosting a special, one time event: The Captain's Corner! I will be his guest. The Captain's Corner will make "Louie's Lounge" look like a joke. Howdy is going to interview me, and I am going to sound off on everything from the Elimination Chamber, to harley getting dropped by me like a hot potato, to Chesty, to just about everything.
Watch for it!
