Welcome ladies and gentleman to the newest weekly webesodic sit down with the coolest cat this side of the pacific ocean, featuring none other than chill personified, "Gnarly" Nicky Laine. You've just entered the Cabin of Cool!
The scene opens as the camera pans over a bright, orange sun burning in a flawless blue sky, not a wisp of cloud in sight. The sea matches the sky, if not for green hues strewn about the calm waves. The light, off-white sand littered with patches of lush marram grass but for a wooden walkway that interrupts the scenic picture. The walkway, worn and dusty, leads to a white washed beach cabin. Not particularly well kept, with flecks of paint chipped off in noticable area's, the cabin has an unmistakable charm about it. Up the short wooden steps leading up from the sands, a deck area stands outside the wooded door to the cabin. Deck chairs, surf gear, a half-broken skateboard, a small potted palm tree and other various hints of the occupant lay scattered around. But, on the left side of the deck, just outside the solitary window of the small shack, was a swaying netted hammock. Two legs emerged from the deep sink of the hammock, sporting deep blue and vibrant green converse. Next, after a short struggle with the netting, similarly coloured shorts appeared. Then, the man sat up. Wearing an open short-sleeved shirt, designed with various pictures of beach memoribilia, a pair of mirrored sunglasses and a blue bandana that served to hold back his blond mixture of dreadlocks and straight hair. Looking somewhat confused by the camera's presence, the man shakes his head and lowers his glasses, revealing deep blue, tired eyes.
Nicky: Woah, dudes. Is it show time already? I was just catching some z's for my afternoon siesta. I'm telling you, my bro's down in Mexico got a lot of things right, tacoes, burritoes, afternoon naps, those big hats, the list is endless. That's why I'm glad a bunch of them jumped the border over here to Cali, they helped make it the kinda sleepy state that my lifestyle of chillaxing is possible in, so... Big shout out to Mexicans, you guys rock!
Well, I'd like to welcome you all to the first webisode of the raddest show in all of wrestling, right here on NLW.com, it's the "Cabin Of Cool"! With me, your host from the coast, "Gnarly" Nicky Laine!
Nicky jumps up to his feet from the hammock and dazzily walks over to the pile of deck chairs. He folds one out and takes a seat, pulling a bottle of beer out from a cooler hidden beneath the pile. He twists the top off with a flourish and tosses it at the camera, causing a brief moment of disorientation and shake.
Nicky: Haha, chillax bro, It's only a bottle cap. [Drinks a short gulp] Ahhh, nothing like getting up at five and slurping back a cold one. This is the life, eh? Well actually, I'm sitting here talking to you guys because I recently made a big change in my life. That's right folks, I've put aside the life of semi-professional surfing for a while to focus on a new venture... The one that's led me right here, professional wrestling. Call me adventurous or call me crazy, I've signed a full-time, professional contract with No Limit Wrestling, based out of my great, neighbouring state of Nevada! I'd like to thank the NLW management for training me, and giving me an unlikely chance to open this new, and hopefully prosperous chapter in my life. Prior to a few months ago, this cool cat had never wrestled a match in his life so big props for "Cowboy" James Bullet for seeing something in me that others didn't. Now I know all you surf fans might be disappinted that you won't see me tumbling between the waves in the Pro-Am's up and down the coast anymore, but you will all prefer to see me tussling between the ropes week in, week out on Wednesday nights for No Limit Wrestling.
[Deep drink from the bottle, leaving it half empty] Now, y'all wrestling fans are probably wondering what the hell this California surfer dude can bring to a NLW ring? Haha, you're all gonna be pleasantly surprised. You see, I live in a world without fear. Where to achieve something, all you have to do is believe in it. And I bring that philosophy to my in-ring perfromances. What you are looking at now is the most unordthodox man in wrestling today. I combine sound technical ability with high flying capabilites, to come down on my opponent like a wave. Haha, so that's what I bring to the table guys.
[Short drink] But, like this beer, talk is cheap. And I'll let my debut on Roulette in two week's time do the talking. Now, let's get on to the fun stuff, cause that's what the "Cabin Of Cool" is all about!
Tossing the leftover beer on the decking floor, Nicky stands up, stretching. He let's out a deep yawn, and steps gingerly down the steps onto the warm sand. With a loose imprint left in the grains of sand following each of his steps, Laine strolled toward one of the Marram covered sand dunes bordering his little shack. Upon approaching the top of the dune, Nicky turns his head to the camera and smirks slightly while pointing to a coconut sitting atop a human sized pole, dug into the sand.
Nicky: Here we are, and this segment is known as "Bust a Move" with me, Nicky Laine!
Nicky: Right dudes, so I've brought you up here for a part of the show I'm really excited about, where I show my fans just what goes into hitting a big move in the ring. Over the next few weeks, I'm gonna display and dissect some of my favourite moves to get you guys more familiar with my in-ring style. Today, I'm gonna be demonstrating one of my favourite impact moves. This one can be hit at any time, and doesn't require any set-up. It's the Spinning Wheel kick! The thinking behind this high octane kick is creating enough momentum through running and launching yourself into the air to do maximum impact damage by connecting with your opponent's head with your ankle and heel area. This move can exert a lot of energy so missing it can put a match in dire peril, but hitting it from a losing position can provide the catalyst to turn a match in your favour. Let me show you guys on Mr. CoCo over here!
Nicky turns away from the camera and locks his eyes on the coconut attatched firmly to the pole. He spreads his legs and sets up in a sideways standing position about ten feet from the pole. Nicky sprints forward, his shoes sinking in the sand as he puts pressure down on them. About five feet from the pole, Nicky lauches himself forward, head over heels, towards the coconut. In a brilliant spray of sand and colour against the brightness of a setting sun, Nicky's feet spin over the air, his right shoe making contact with the coconut. With a loud crack, Nicky's foot crunched through the fruit, causing chunks to fly over the Marram landscape and coconut milk to leak down onto the sand. Hitting the sand with a soft thud, Nicky arises and smiles to the camera.
Nicky: Now that dudes, was a cool move!
Lifting himself off the ground and dusting himself off, Laine starts to make his way back to the shack.
Nicky: That was just a taste of what I can do in the ring, and in the following weeks, I'll be showing you guys more of my arsenal. Let's head back to the cabin for our next segment, "Rad or Bad"!
Laine becomes a shadowy figure against the dying sun, trudging back to the cabin through the sands. Getting back to the deck, Nicky pulls his deck chair closer and dumps himself onto the seat. Adjusting his bandana and fixing back on his sunglasses to protect against the sun's glare, Nicky gets ready to speak.
Nicky: Now for this segment on the "Cabin of Cool", I am gonna rate a couple of the happening news stories in the NLW this week as "Rad" or "Bad", pretty cool, right? Well I'm gonna start with the news of the expanding success of the Kennedy Sports Agancy. This multi-company spanning organisation has two clients in the NLW, Defecto and Claudia Deathstryke. Bryan Kennedy himself made an appearance on this past Wednesday's Roulette. Now the story here is the success being experienced by this grouping, with Defecto picking up the Nevada State Championship on Wednesday after a great performance and Claudia looking nailed on to win the Queen of Queen's Championship this coming week. There's even talk of Defecto being in the NLW Heavyweight title picture. I'm all for rewarding people when they deserve it, but when superstars come together with the potential to use underhanded tactics and agents to control a monopoly of a promotion's championships, that's gotta be pretty "Bad"!
Next up, we have the news that fan-favourite Jason Cruze and Jackie Williams have decided to team up and become the SR71 Express! First of all, badass name, am I right? Also, I can see these guys elevating each other's game, making each other better performers in the long run. I wish them the best, and I've no doubt they will lift the NLW Tag Team titles sooner rather than later. And that's pretty "Rad"!
Last but not least, news has broke that there will be a huge announcment this coming Wednesday regarding the plans for crowning the first ever NLW Heavyweight Champion. Company advertising has expressed to all free agents that anyone could win this title, and you know what that means dudes? That means that "Gnarly" Nicky Laine can win it, and that of course, is really really "Rad"!
Lifting himself from his reclining position in his deck chair, Nicky Laine stretches back to his feet, and lazily steps back to the edge of his hammock.
Nicky: Well bro's, that marks the end of this week's "Cabin of Cool". Make sure you tune in to this Wednesday's NLW Roulette, in association with the P.W. Syndicate, I just might make an appearance. [Tips down glasses and winks] And make sure you catch me right here, next week on NLW.com. But now it's time for my evening nap, so get outta here and go with the flow dudes!
"Gnarly" Nicky Laine tips his glasses back up and collapses back into his hammock, his legs hanging over the edge of the netting. "Misirlou" by Dick Dale plays over as the camera pans back over the sandy dunes and setting sun.
