*The WZCW logo flashes ever so quickly as we go from that to an exterior shot of the Mall of America. Just to the left of the entranceway is a huge LCD sign, it reads, WZCW SUPERSTAR EVEREST TODAY! After a few seconds the camera closes in on the entranceway and we see a huge line of people standing outside in the snowy, cold morning air. Most of them are bundled up to avoid the Minnesota chill and most of them are holding Everest Signs or wearing Everest gear. The camera pans past the crowd as they jump and holler and just doing anything to stay warm. Just before we move inside we see the doors fling open and the people in line bum rush the door heading inside as the camera switches inside to a nice set up. A huge table is set up with several metal railings s wrapping their way around the food court as fan after fan race to get in line. Within seconds, literally seconds the line is full and people are still lining up.*
KID IN LINE: (Looking at his friend) Ah man I cant believe they brought the whole class down here for this, Everest is by far my favorite WZCW superstar. You know hell be World Champ soon.
KIDS FRIEND: What, no way. Rios is the man! Hes going to be champ forever. Your chump Everest aint got no shot in the world against Dynasty.
KID IN LINE: Whatever, keep talking! Youll see one Rockslide and Mr. Main Event is gonna be Mister Ex-Champ.
KIDS FRIEND: Ha! Not likely, Rios would never get caught in the Rock Climb
*Just as the kids friend is continuing his sentence, hes interrupted by a very familiar voice coming from behind him*
EVEREST: (Leaning in behind the kids ear and kind of in a whispering voice). Thats ah, Son its called a Rock SLIDE and your boy Rios, and trust me on this one, your boy Rios he knows what one feels like and he wont get up from another one.
*The other kid in line, the Everest fan, is in awe. His face is in shock, his eyes are huge and his jaw is almost on the floor. He just stares at Everest until Everest finally breaks the silence*
EVEREST: Hey kid, how about you help me out today, come on!
*With that Everest heads to the front of the line, kid in tow. Everest is slapping hands and high fives with the fans until he gets to the table where he sits down and begins signing autographs, the kid to his right soaking up every moment. Everest signs some photos, poses for pictures, grabbing the kid into a few of them as well. All the while Everest is talking up the crowd. Everest looks over to the kid and finally after almost 2 minutes of the session he asks the kid his name.*
EVEREST: So what should I call you kid?
KID IN LINE: My names Joseph. Im from Elizabeth Jacksons 5th grade Class.
EVEREST: Well hey Joseph, Im Everest. Tell me with a name like yours I would have assumed you would be a Rios fan.
JOSEPH: No way Everest. I could never cheer for a cheater like that. He gives all us Josephs a bad name.
EVEREST: Well said son, well said. Its good to see that not all the Josephs in the world are like that guy.
*At that moment as Everest signs another picture, while chatting up the pretty lady that put it in front of him, a WZCW staff member walks up and leans in beside Everest and whispers something in his ear. Everests eyes light up and he tells the staffer to set him up a makeshift stage*
JOSEPH: Whats going on?
EVEREST: Dont worry little man, everything is going great. Ive just got a little announcement to make to the masses.
*With that Everest continues signing a few things, until he sees the staffer give him a wave, at which point Everest pauses, stands up and takes a mic from the staffer as he heads toward a makeshift podium that has been set up in the center of the food court seating area.*
EVEREST: Excuse, excuse me everyone, Hey I just wanted to say a few things here. It has come to my attention that at the upcoming Meltdown I am getting another shot at everyones favorite champion, Joseph Rios.
*The throng of people go ballistic, screaming and hollering and supporting Everest*
EVEREST: Whoa, whoa, there is a catch; you see it seems that were not the only ones involved. My partner from the last Meltdown, DC is also going to be involved.
And it gets even better, from what this miniature Dan Rather over here has told me, the winner of this three way dance will get a shot for the title. Now I know what you are thinking, what if Rios wins the Match? Sadly I really dont know. I guess if Rios wins he gets to play with himself.
*The crowd roars with laughter along with Everest*
EVEREST: Sorry, now back to the topic at hand. Upcoming Meltdown, Everest v. DC v. Rios. The winner gets a title shot! DC my friend, Ive got no problem with you, never have. Hell it seems we both have the same distaste and hatred for Dynasty which on most nights would mean I be more than happy to help you out in any way possible but at Meltdown there is only one thing on my mind A WZCW World Heavyweight Title Shot and unfortunately you are standing in my way of that goal. I know you hear it all the time but it really is true DC, this isnt personal. This is about one thing and one thing only, another shot at Rios title.
Now Joseph Rios, you on the other hand are a different story. Not only do I want a shot at your title again, I want a shot at you. You continue to hide behind your lackeys. Avoiding the confrontation that you know is inevitable. Rios I heard the talk after the last Meltdown, I heard the boys backstage, the fans in the crowd, the internet marks, I heard them all talking about how you shouldnt have your title, how your match with Sincade shouldnt have ended that way, but you know what Rios, Im glad you keep the title.
*Fans boo loudly*
EVEREST: Now now, hear me out. You see Rios the reason Im glad is because your title run is coming to an end. The end is coming soon. Youve heard the line about the fat lady singing, well Rios Im putting the word out for the fat lady to get ready. So Rios when you come to the ring at Meltdown you make sure that Heidi knows
.shes on in five. Like I said Rios, your reign is coming to end soon, real soon and when it does you realize exactly what Ive been trying to tell you.
THIS IS MY WORLD
*Every fan in attendance suddenly chimes in with Everest as he puts the mic down in front of his young friend so he can lead the masses*
JOSEPH, EVEREST & EVERY FAN IN ATTENDANCE:
WE JUST LET YOU LIVE IN IT!
*With that Everest gives the microphone back to the staffer and the last image we see is of Everest wading through the audience back towards the autograph signing table to finish the event.*
