Here's my attempt at writing some lore for the WOO LORE contest by and
of C/SCHOLARANDSCRIBE
As the crowd erupted into a roar, the 2 burly men flashed a grin at each other beneath their thick bushy beards. Grabbing the golden championship belts from the startled referee, they thrust it up into the air, running into the 4 corners of the ring, as they basked in the adulation from the frenzied crowd.
Tag Team Champions of the World, the culmination of their life's work, never had they thought their paths would lead them here.
Just 2 years ago, livelong buddies Wayne and Jack were completely broke, with nothing to their name save the shirts on their backs. The 2 Australian Outbackers and their inane business plan was a complete bust. It had been such a good idea too (or so they thought). A travelling circus of boxing Kangaroos touring around the outback, with them as the ring masters, entertaining the masses. The Hinterland Hunters and the Boxing Kangaroos was what they would go by, and they had plans to even tour the world!
They had poured their life savings into it but the whole scheme was a bust before they even managed to stage their first show. The WWF caught wind of it and had the authorities rescue all the Kangaroos. They ended up being charged for animal abuse and were bankrupted.
Homeless and penniless, they decided to live off the land in the outback whilst taking stock of their dire economic situation. Surely they could survive on hunting and fishing, they thought. As it was with their business plans. it was an utter failure too. Hungry and starving, sitting around the campfire roasting the only fish they caught after an entire day, they were truly down and out.
Adding insult to the injury though, an alligator crept up behind them while they were taking a leak by the bushes. The 2 men had enough! The world could take their kangaroos, their money, and even their dignity. But no one, especially not an alligator, would take their FISH! They charged after the alligator as they wrestled it to the ground, the 2 enraged men pummeling the "Fish Thief" into submission. As they finally managed to retrieve the remains of the fish from the jaws of the subdued alligator, they cheered in victory!
This brought them another brilliant idea. They would go into business with alligator farms in the region. Their newfound talent in wrestling alligators would prove to be useful as they advised farm owners on the best way to handle alligators. Their fame soon spread far and wide as they became known as the "The Hinterland Hunters - Alligator Wrestlers".
Becoming mini celebrities in their own right, they were soon spotted attending several wrestling events as VIP fans. (Apparently, their alligator wrestling skills were honed by growing up watching wrestling on the TV). The Wrestling Organization Online promoter BookerMan noticed them and sensing an opportunity the likes which had never been seen before, he made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Become full time professional wrestlers, and put their alligator wrestling skills to full use, doing the sport they grew up loving!
Needless to say, they never looked back.
Tag Team Champions of the World. They had finally made it!
