(Backstage at Meltdown, Leon Kensworth is interviewing Vox.)
Leon Kensworth: Im here with Vox to speak with him about his big match with Logan McAllister
and other things
Im sure
Vox: Good evening Mr. Kensworth, God bless you. How are you doing this fine night?
Leon Kensworth: Im doing well, you seem rather calm considering your competition for tonight?
Vox: Im overwhelmed with pride.
Leon Kensworth: Why is that?
Vox: Well, you see, Im taking donations for a very noble cause.
Leon Kensworth: (Mutters Oh God
) and what might that be?
Vox: Im setting up a museum to honor the struggles of those who participated in The Rising and then later the Irish War for Independence.
Leon Kensworth: What is The Rising? Wasn't that a Bruce Springsteen album?
Vox: No! I mean, it was...forget it. Im glad you asked! This is why we need the museum, you see. The Easter Rising of 1916 occurred in Dublin, Ireland and led to The Irish War of Independence, which ran from 1919 to 1921. The sacrifice of so many brave men to make Ireland a free state needs to be fully commemorated. My great grandfather, my grandfather and his brothers all fought for their freedom. Were going to set it here in the United States, so this country can be more informed as to what happened. This is a nation of revolution and freedom, and I think the story would be relateable here.
Leon Kensworth: Wow, thats actually pretty cool! I cant wait to go. Where is it going to be built?
Vox: Well, the first thing is the funding. Were about halfway there. Ive put up over $1mm of my own money, and weve had many great donations at several pledge drives that Ive done. I never sleep, ya know? Im either winning matches or winning donations. We still need more to do it properly, though. Would you like to donate to this noble cause?
Leon Kensworth: You know what? Yes, I would. How do I donate?
Vox: Oh, my friend. Ill give direction to the noble audience as well, so they can all donate along with you. Youre such a blessed, amazing man. Text the dollar amount to the number that should be flashing on the screen
now! *Number to text to donate comes up on the screen* and follow it with #SaveUsVox. Donate now, and I will give you all a personal reply for your donation and kindness!
Leon Kensworth: *Texts in donation* Its all set in! I feel really good!
Vox:*Looks at notification on iPhone* I think you forgot a zero, lad. This is $10. *Places hands menacingly on Kensworths shoulders*
Leon Kensworth: Oh yeah
I forgot it
darn fingers. Let me get that all fixed up. *Texts in remaining amount* There we go!
Vox: *Removes shoulders from Kensworths shoulders, and then pats him hard on the back* Atta boy!
Leon Kensworth: You know where a great place would be for the museum?
Vox: Where would that be, my friend? We were looking at Cleveland, Ohio.
*Crowd boos*
Leon Kensworth: You should probably go with Boston! The hometown of your opponent tonight, Logan McAllister!
Vox: *Voxs smile drops and he removes his sunglasses* Dont you EVER bring up that horrible name in relation to something this beautiful ever again.
Leon Kensworth: Logan McAllister or Boston?
Vox: Either, frankly. Hes a representation of that wretched place.
Leon Kensworth: Whats wrong with Boston? Outside of the traffic, that is. Its comprised of so many proud Irish people.
Vox: It is comprised of COWARD IRISH! The people whose ancestors left Ireland when the going got tough and didnt help the proud true Irish fight for their freedom. Logan McAllister is just another descendant of Coward Irish, and it makes me sick. I guess that makes his son a Coward Irish as well. The thought of it all makes me sick.
Leon Kensworth: I had no idea you felt this way, Ive also never heard that term before.
Vox: Its my term for them. The people of Boston are revolting to me. Their horrible attitudes and spirit are only superseded by their ugly and awful accents. I started a pledge drive for donations for the Boston Marathon Bombing Victims and to help rebuild the parts of the city that were damaged, but even then I was glad it was a short one. That city was so ungrateful for everything it received from us, almost as though they expected it. Disgusting. Anyway, now Im properly angry, so thanks for that. Im going to channel this aggression into kicking the rear of not only Logan McAllister, but also his entire cowardly family tree. But God bless you Leon Kensworth, and all of you whom have donated so far! Ill respond to your donations later tonight.
*Vox puts his sunglasses back on, and checks his phone*
Leon Kensworth: Well...good luck in your match tonight.
Vox: Luck is for people who can't do something based upon their own volition. Kicking this Coward Irish's butt shouldn't be an issue at all.
*Vox storms off angrily, responding to text messages on his iPhone.*
