Tango Anyone?
FADE IN...
(CUE UP: "Wicker Man" by iron Maiden. An interview set up with TONY ROSS. Tony sits across from the man, holding a notebook, and the man sits empty handed. Wicker Man dies down enough so that it is only faint background noise.)
TONY ROSS: All right Nemesis, let's get right into it.
NEMESIS: Sounds good to me.
TONY ROSS: You recently won the five-man Gauntlet match for the #1 Contender-ship to the GLCW Television Title.
NEMESIS: That's correct, Tony.
TONY ROSS: Well, in a match involving names like Golem, "Stupendous" Stephen Morgan, "Showtime" Steven James, the Cannonball Kidd, and Jon Savage, that's quite impressive. Especially when you yourself eliminated the Cannonball Kidd AND "Stupendous" Stephen Morgan to become the #1 Contender for Jared Poe's TV Title.
NEMESIS: Thanks. I just went out there in Flint, Michigan and did everything I could to put on a great performance for the fans, as well as get the win.
TONY ROSS: Well, the recent streak you've been on recently certainly has been giving the people in the stands something to cheer about. I know you're very concerned with the fans, and I personally feel you're doing a great job delivering time after time to them.
NEMESIS: I really am trying Tony, every time I go out there. (to the camera) You all... the ones in the stands, the one's at home, the one's watching on television. YOU're why I do THIS. All the Riptides, Wireds, house shows... ALL of it... (back to Tony) These are the people who pay both of our checks Tony, it's only right that someone looks out for them... so you keep up the award-winning commentary...
TONY ROSS: ...and you keep up the breath-taking performances in the ring. (to Nemesis, aside) And you keep doing what you're doing, and I'll keep what I'm doing, heh heh heh.
NEMESIS: Not to worry, Tony... I gotta stay in the ring... heh heh.
TONY ROSS: Good to hear (back to interview-style). Moving on, you and Minion seem to continue to get into it, all stemming from a match at the last Riptide where you both brawled into the backstage area. Then after your match at Flint, defeating two men back-to-back, Minion shows up only for Jared Poe to even up the odds. So obviously that is a situation that needs to be resolved.
NEMESIS: I am not exactly sure what Minion's problem with me is. I think it's because I was supposed to be his first taste of prey, and it didn't exactly work out that way. I put up more of a fight than he expected, and so now he's on a tear to get some blood out of me...
TONY ROSS: Sounds kinda scary, you worried about what he might do next?
NEMESIS: Scary? Well, he IS Minion... he's never really been on the friendly, harmless side of the fence. As for being worried... I really haven't had much time to think about it, as I have been concentrating on this match with the Jobber.
TONY ROSS: The thus far mute Jobber. A match pitting the former Television champion against the #1 Contender to that same title. Certainly will be a good match to have before the one with Jared Poe.
NEMESIS: I agree Tony, I couldn't have asked for a better opponent. Jobber's got a list of accolades to his credit a mile long, as well as beating Jared Poe doing his tenure as GLCW's Television champ.
TONY ROSS: Certainly one of the most difficult matches put to you since your arrival to the GLCW.
NEMESIS: It's what they call "moving up the ladder," Tony. Malec and Krusher seem to have some faith in my ability. Beit to actually win, or just to put on a match that will get the fans involved, I'm not sure.
TONY ROSS: Jobber is an incredible competitor, but Nemesis... you definitely have the abilities in the ring to pull a ring out. I predict a hard fought match... and the longer, the better for all of us watching. No doubt it will be a battle, but anticipation is high, as the outcome is uncertain. A lot of people are expecting big things from you Nemesis, and Maelstrom himself has put in his two cents on the air more than once.
NEMESIS: It will be a battle Tony, there's little doubt of that in my mind. As for our Heavyweight Champion... I'm glad he takes note of all potential contender's for HIS title... (smiles) that's all I've gotta say about that.
TONY ROSS: Well Nem, that's about all the time we have, anything else you'd like to say?
NEMESIS: Sure thing Tony... good luck with Jack Shades in Indianapolis... heh heh heh.
TONY ROSS: (puts his hand to his head) Ah jesus...
(The lights fade out, leaving the two in darkness as the man pats Tony on the back as the two share a laugh. CUE UP: "Wicker Man" by Iron Maiden as the shot fades out.)
FADE OUT.
