Camera once again cuts to the "IV" locker room.

MisterJLA is pacing around, when Joe Mama walks in...

Quote:

Joe Mama: Hey, I saw what happened! Too bad about Howdy not being able to compete. I'd be willing to take his spot, and so would Mid-Nite, but the contract was signed by "The Allied Powers", and not by "The IV". Looks like you'll have to go it alone inside the ring tonight.

JLA: Yeah...

Joe Mama: But, the contract didn't have any provisions about me being at ringside!

JLA: Yeah...?

Joe Mama: Look, we are The IV! The greatest, most elite collection of RDCW talent ever, I mean EVAR! I'm not going to let a teammate down! I'll be there to watch your back.

JLA: Yeah!





Just then, Rob's Damn Killer Instinct Rip Off Theme Music is heard faintly in the background...

Quote:

Joe Mama: You're...check that, we're up! Let's go!

JM: And by the way, that was nice how you made the deal that may allow Howdy and Jeeves to stay here in the U.S. But to offer up your guaranteed Tag Title shot?

JLA: It wasn't much of an offer. If I lose tonight, they get deported anyway. No sense in having a guaranteed Tag Title match if my partner is deported out of the country!

JM: You never know, maybe the RDCW will have a PPV in Great Britain someday. You could go for the belts over there!

JLA: Uh...I don't know if they'd let me in the country.

JM: Why is that?

JLA: Well, I sort of sent Hannah Harper some fan letters that creeped her out a bit. I received an official letter about stalking, and me not coming within a thousand meters of her or something. I'm more or less forbidden from setting foot in the whole country...sort of.

JM: Whoa.

JLA: Eh, what are you going to do? Anyway, we really need this win tonight. If we lose Howdy, we would have to change our name! With you reduced to a manager's role, we'd be down to 2 1/2 members! That just doesn't sound right, you know?

<mock announcer's voice>"Introducing MisterJLA, Doc. Mid-Nite, and their part time manager sometimes when he feels like it, Joe Mama! Together, they are the 2 and 1/2!"</mock announcer's voice>

Can you imagine James White saying that? I can. That would be silly. Also...

JM: Uh, let's not waste all of our energy talking! We've got a match to win! Win it for Howdy!

JLA: And Jeeves!

JM: Whatever.





JLA makes his way to the ring, where Homeland Security is already waiting.

Recap to follow, which features JLA winning, of course!
