Scene opens in a backstage dressing room at WZCW studios. Becky Serra is scene applying makeup in front of a mirror while Stacey Madison is getting changed behind a changing screen.
Becky: Are you almost done back in there? Youve been trying on different outfits for almost an hour.
Stacey: Shut your mouth, you impatient little ho. Im just trying to find the look that accentuates my best features.
I dont think were allowed to show whats behind our underpants.
Ha ha, oh Becky youre so comical. But youre forgetting youre the number one **** around here.
Stacey emerges from behind the screen in a tight yellow dress that goes about halfway down her thighs and is very low cut to show off her rack.
So, how do I look?
Easy.
Bitch, but thank you. Thats the look I was going for.
You think Showtime is really going to go after you?
Of course, who wouldnt? I mean, why else would he have demanded that I be his guest tonight,
From what I heard from Serafina, you were the one who seemed really desperate.
And you believed that little freak. Ha ha.
Stacey looks around and then speaks quietly to Becky.
Im going to be honest with you Becky, and I trust you wouldnt go rat on me to management, but Ive been taking a lot of time off.
Really? That must be why its been quieter here lately.
Anyway, last show I really had to make it up and do lots of interviews. Ugh, why am I an interviewer? I should be a star. My face on millions of magazine covers. Im beautiful enough.
Becky rolls her eyes.
So thats what tonight is all about. Showtime will ask me some questions while I stare into his eyes, the camera will see me looking stunning, and Ill be back receiving calls to host parties and do picture shoots.
Stagehand: Five minutes Miss Stacey.
Well thats my cue then.
Stacey struts out while Becky giggles from behind.

Scene opens on the set of The Show. Showtime David Cougar is already out on stage as the crowd cheers.
Cougar: Thank you all so much. We got an amazing show lined up for you and a very special guest for you all this evening. Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Stacey Madison.
Stacey walks out onto the stage. The crowd cheers and a few cat calls can be heard. She turns her back to the crowd and looks over her shoulder. She gives them all a wink and then continues to walk to Showtimes desk. Showtime eyes here up and down as he taps his cue cards on the desk.
Stacey Madison everybody. Wow, somebody wheel out the oxygen tanks cause you are taking everyones breath away.
The audience laughs and Stacey too, as she pushes back her hair and goes to take a seat on the couch.
No no Stacey, not there. I got special seat for you right close to my desk, right close... to me.
The stage crew wheels out a chair and puts it in between the desk and couch. Stacey smiles and sits in the chair, leaning her body close to Showtime.
So Showtime, what is it abou...
Hang on a sec there Stace, I got something for you.
Showtime goes to grab something from underneath the desk. Stacey has a huge smile on her face until Showtime pulls out a microphone and slides it into her hands.
There you go, now our guest tonight. He is the WZCW Heavyweight Champion. Everyone give a great big round of applause for Titus.
The crowd explodes as Titus appears on stage with the WZCW title belt. He high fives with the people in the front row. Staceys mouth is wide open in shock and that is followed by gritting teeth as Titus walks up and shakes hands with Showtime and takes a seat.
Titus everybody. How are you today?
Im doing well Showtime.
My God, Im not normally flabbergasted but... You are a legend in this business man. WZCW World Champion, longest reigning Elite X Champion, four time Oscar winner. Four!!! How does one find the time to accomplish all those things. Stacey, make sure you hold the mic closer so we can hear Titus.
Stacey gives Showtime a cold look and lazily slumps her wrist towards Titus.
Well Showtime, despite the fact that Im usually scene promoting or celebrating something with the fans, Im actually a workaholic. I trained and studied hard to play the characters Ive played in movies and now in the ring I apply those same skills to studying my opponents.
Showtime nods his head as Titus continues to talk.
The wrestling world is very much like the stage, everyone has a part to play, and everyone has a character that is unique from the rest. I try to get into the mind set, to know why a big ogre like VenShriek, would want to try and disable me, or why DonkTy, wants to consume us all within his realm of darkness.
And what have you specifically learned about those two.
Dont try to take their swamp away.
The audience laughs. Stacey rolls her eyes and looks as board as ever as she begins to hunch over.
Hey, where did you get this microphone stand? Ive seen livelier people at a chess match.
Stage crew, we need a table over here.
The stage crew wheel out a table and put it in front of Stacey, the table is high enough that it covers Staceys exposed rack, and has a solid back so no one can see any of Stacey below her shoulders. Stacey looks annoyed by this, but then smiles a mischievous smile and slowly kicks over the table. Staceys legs are uncrossed now, which expose her cupid and heart patterned panties. The crowd chuckles a bit as Stacey quickly crosses her legs and holds the mic up near Showtime.
Now thats what we call a show. Now Titus, trying to be a little more serious here, what are your real thoughts on Vengeance and Ty Burna.
Well Vengeance Ive fought many times in the past. He is as deadly of an opponent as you can find in WZCW and make one big mistake and he will make you pay. I know a lot of guys in the back who are terrified of him, Leon especially. At Apocalypse, we will pick things up right where we left off, and just like all our prior matches, this one will be close all the way to the end, but Im confident the results will stay the same. I dont know much about Ty. This will be our first singles bout against each other and weve only fought a couple times in tag matches. I know hell be a force to reckoned with, but the man puts all his fate on what the Ouija tells him. An Ouija!
Its as logical a decision maker as either of your predictions.
Holy crap... she speaks.
Must be a loose wire.
Thats not all thats loose about her.
The crowd cheers as Stacey quickly shoots a stare at Showtime.
See... you have a loose thread here.
The crowd laughs as Showtime quickly plucks it off Staceys dress.
So I wanted to get your opinion on Ty, seeing as how you two have fought numerous battles in the past, and will be fighting again at Apocalypse.
Ty is a dangerous man. Pushed me to my limits early on and got the best of me. I took him lightly and his Ouija, I even poked fun at it myself. Ty may put his blind fate in what the scroll tells him and believes it will lead him to the top, but the Ouija is the reason he is so focused. One goal, one mission. When Ty is told his destiny, he goes head for it. What Ty doesnt understand, is it is no different than our blind love and dedication to the fans t. We do it for them like he does it for good ole Ouija. The two or no different, and if he thinks that my devotion to the viewers is a hinderance in any way, then he may find the results of our upcoming match will end up the very same as our last match. Titus, you know when to come up big, thats why you are the champion. Verse Ty, it will be no different. Go big, or go home because he will doing anything necessary totake you out and make you an eas target to drop the belt. And we really want to send Ty home with nothing but his Ouija to play alone with.
Damn right Showtime. So...
So...
Do you want me to give you any advice for Vengeance?
No.
No..? Showtime, I admire the cocky swagger youve had since you debuted in WZCW, but this is why I am champion and youve had a handful of small title reigns. The difference between being in the mainevent and just looking at it through the glass ceiling.
Ive faced this man many times before. Ive beaten Lars Reidar 2 matches out of 3 with the EurAsian on the line. Wasnt Lars suppose to be the upgraded version of Vengeance. An unstoppable Norse God. Vengeance has de-evolved back to his former self, let the white hairs of age and tiredness grow back on him. And this time, he isnt the same twisted soul he once was when he kidnapped Leon. He stumbles upon his victories and fails to beat opponents he once towered over. Vengeance has a destructive angry side, there is no question about that. He assaults anyone it takes to get what he desires, your world title, heck any title in this company, because he knows the winds of change are blowing, time is quickly running out, and his chance to redeem all prior disappointments is fading faster by the day. Vengeance when we meet at Ascension, youll be staring across the ring and in the face of the most charismatic individual in this company, youll be staring at the face of the best pure performer to step in front of the camera, youll be staring at the face of change... Change is coming Vengeance, and beat me to a bloody pulp all you try, change is upon you, and is here to say goodbye to you. This will be your final moment in the sun Vengeance, your last chance because The Show is ready to take your place.
Mmhmmm, you mean of course, if you are able to beat me when you earn a shot.
Showtime smirks. He had almost forgot the WZCW Heavyweight champion was sitting no more than 5 feet from him.
Of course Titus. I have nothing but respect for you. But you know the target that belt puts on someone. It is what I want as well as everyone in the back. We may be friends backstage, but when we get into the ring for the first time against each other, I will bring the whole boxed set of my talents and all the special features that come with it. Meaning, I will fight you with everything, and Id expect no less from you. Its what we do. That belt represents the very best that our profession has to offer, and is something I will not rest till I own. When we fight, fans will be talking about it for years to come, and I look forward to that day.
Showtime extends his hand and Titus shakes it.
WZCW Champion Titus, everybody. Give him a round of applause. Thats The Show for the evening. Goodnight.
Titus and Showtime stand and pose for the cameras. The fans are screaming both mens names. Titus grabs a pen and goes to sign autographs for some fans up front.
Thank you for your time Stacey. Dont worry, you will get paid for this.
Showtime begins to walk off stage. Stacey hesitates, then quickly follows Showtime.
Hey wait. What the hell was all this. I thought I was going to be your guest tonight.
Oh, so sorry. I didnt mean to imply that. We figured since Titus was going to be on The Show the crowd was going to be a lot louder. So... microphone girl. In retrospect, I guess we couldve just dressed up a microphone poll.
Hey, you think I dressed up solely like this for the cameras.
Suddenly 2 stunningly attractive blond and brunette girls walk up to Showtime and Stacey
Showgirl 1: Oh how are you Showtime baby?
Showgirl 2: You look like you could use a rub down.
In a sec girls.
Wha... what...
Stacey, you and I both agreed. We work together, and just that. Besides you ever think were too much alike. I mean, I like you Stace, but were both too into each other. Now if youll excuse me, theres something else Ill need to get into, isnt that right ladies.
Showtime and the girls walk off leaving Stacey dumbfounded. A producer walks up and hands Stacey a cheque. She crumbles it up in her hand and storms off.
