The scene opens backstage at the Tokyo Egg Dome. Classy Mike C is walking with the 52 Wild title over his shoulder and a bandage around his head. Classy walks slowly, with a look of contemplation upon his face and after a few seconds, EUWC interviewer Jimmy Reeve approaches him.
Jimmy: Mike, a few words please?
Classy says nothing and keeps walking.
Jimmy: Erm...first off congratulations on successfully defending the 52 Wild title and after that going on to finish second in the Blood Bath match, quite a night for you!
Classy stops and looks at Reeve.
Classy: Y'know what Jimmy, it was quite a night. First, I got knocked out cold by Marshall Snow and retained my title by default, then I got hit over the head by the moron Paul Doom with a chair, and then after coming so close to victory I got beaten by Stephen Greer. In 18 months service to the EUWC, that's the closest I've come to a world title shot, and to miss out right at the death...do you know how that feels Jimmy?
Jimmy: I can't say I do.
Classy: It doesn't feel good! But I did realise something tonight Jimmy. When I was backstage watching Team Danger and Samuel Roundtree work together so cohesively, and then when I was in the ring with those three and Doom, knowing that the odds were stacked against me, I realised that you've got to have friends in this world, buddies who'll watch you're back just as you'll watch theirs. That's how to reach the top. And right now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and re-kindle a few old friendships so I can finally achieve my dreams.
Classy walks away down the corridor, leaving Reeve stood alone as the screen fades to black.
