The camera rattles a bit, then straightens out, showing Rogue and Cora Black leaning up against a railing of the Wells Street Bridge, above the famous Chicago River. The day is a beautiful, sunny and breezy day in downtown Chicago, Illinois – the hometown of Cora. Rogue and Cora are both much more relaxed today than usual, donning “normal” clothes, compared to their usual wrestling gear or arena attire. Rogue is wearing a nice pair of black Altamas, dark denim jeans, and a very nice dark blue button up shirt. Cora is wearing some white Chuck Taylors, black leggings, and a white sweatshirt. The bruising on Rogue’s forehead is almost gone, and he’s rocking a smile instead of his usual angry or stoic expression.
Cora is holding a glass bottle containing some kind of fruity, green apple drink. Cora takes a sip of it and smiles, nodding at the bottle in enjoyment of the taste. Cora moves the lip of the bottle to Rogue’s mouth area.
Rogue – Yeah let me try it out.
Cora lines the bottle up with Rogue’s mouth and tips it towards him, letting him taste the drink.
Rogue – Delicious. I used to drink this stuff all the time when I was a kid. Stuff like this and pop…. Lots of pop actually…. RC Cola, Coke, Pepsi. Wild Cherry Pepsi was the best with some popcorn and sour patch kids during a movie.
Cora Black – Thanks for taking us here, babe. It’s been awhile since either one of us has seen home.
Rogue puts his arm around Cora and grips onto her shoulder, rubbing it and giving it a squeeze of admiration. Rogue looks straight ahead into the camera.
Rogue – We rollin’, Billy?
Billy (Rogue’s friend and Vlog cameraman) – We're rolling, Rogue.
Rogue takes a second to take a deep breathe, and kisses Cora on the forehead. Cora kisses him back and smiles. Rogue has a moment of authentic happiness.
In between all of the stress of Rogue and Cora’s lives the past month, between driving all around the country, getting signed to IIW, getting into multiple fights over the Hardcore title, and competing on IIW Combat….. This was a moment of pure happiness. Rogue and Cora had a few days away from work, to enjoy themselves, and they used the opportunity to visit home. There is no place like HOME….
Rogue – I know Cora and I have supporters out there. That’s what our vlog is for. We can get wrapped up some times in the chaos of it all…. The chaos of this wrestling business. It can be a stressful journey getting to where you want to be in wrestling, but when things start going your way, it feels like one of the best feelings you will ever feel. Despite all of the people trying to hold me back and take me down along the way, HERE WE ARE. Here we are IIW.
Cora had this idea, of taking a few minutes out of our day to share with you, the people that had our backs since day one, just how happy we are right now. All of the cool comments you guys leave us, the shows you show up to, the support you have for us. It’s not forgotten. Some wrestling fans like to support the megastars, the sellouts, the people that ruin the business, but YOU - YOU all chose to support us, because you like what you see, and for that, we thank you.
Rogue nods to the camera with the smile growing even brighter. Rogue motions his head to Cora.
Rogue – Go ahead Cora.
Cora’s smile grows brighter too. But her demeanor turns more serious before she begins to speak.
Cora Black – Now that we’ve planted our feet in IIW, things are only going up from here. Rogue and I can finally stop worrying about where the next paycheck is coming from. Rogue and I can focus on purely wrestling. We can purely focus on having fun doing what we love to do.
Rogue and I can focus on winning. One by one, knocking down all of the people who stand in our way.
Thank you all for joining us on our journey so far, but there is plenty of fun to be had.
....Stay tuned, kiddos....
The camera fades out with Rogue and Cora back to their usual, emotionless straight faces.
