The scene opens inside a high end gym. After a few seconds of scanning we find out its a GOLDS GYM in Ann Arbor. The camera waits for a moment before we see WZCWs World Champion EVEREST. Hes just finished a workout, towel around his neck, he quickly motions the camera to follow him. After a few seconds we head to an executive room. Its already set up and readied for an interview.
Two chairs are in the middle of the room, lights are set up to get maximum lighting and WZCWs very own Becky Serra is relaxing in one of the chairs, going over notes while sipping from a Diet Coke.
EVEREST: Hey beautiful, how you doing?
BECKY: (Quickly putting her notes down and standing up hastily) Well hello, Im doing well. How have you been?
EVEREST: Ive been good. Sorry it took so long for me to set up this interview.
BECKY: Its alright, but folks back at WZCW were getting a little worried since you havent done an interview since Meltdown. What have you been up to?
EVEREST: Well my dear, there was the WZCW Magazine photo shoot, The WZCW meet and greet at the Mall of America. What else was there, oh thats right I met the President for a mid day lunch and photo opp. So Becky, I guess you could say I was doing Champions obligations.
BECKY: Wow, youve been busy! Have you heard about your Meltdown match-up against Milenko?
EVEREST: Ah yes, our Mayhem Champion! The self proclaimed Most Sadistic Person in WZCW. Notice I said SELF-PROCLAIMED!
So yeah Becky, Ive heard of Milenko. Ive heard of our match up at Meltdown.
Ive heard him go on and on about being the best champion here. How hes only lost a few matches, how he won his title on his first try. On and on he goes, not so much trying to convince the masses as he is trying to convince himself.
Let me ask you something Milenko. Youve had all this time to pick your words wisely before we get into the ring. Now tell me Milenko, are you sure that these are the ones you want to go with. All the possibilities you could have come up with, all the comments you could have made, are you SURE that this is the one you want.
I ask this because Milenko, if facts are what you want to spew, then lets talk facts.
Heres one you will love, by the way, you may want to sit down for this one.
That MAYHEM Title you love so much! You know the one you go on about winning! The one that makes you better than me! Yeah, dont forget this one little point
THAT TITLE IS THE SAME TITLE I NEVER LOST! Thats right Milenko, in many peoples mind; you arent even the rightful Mayhem Champion. I not only won that title, but I defended against people you wouldnt even come close to.
Its alright though. You know why?
Because Ive moved on to bigger things! Better Things! You see Milenko, that WZCW Photo shoot, they didnt ask for you! That Mall of America meet and greet? Yeah they werent looking for Milenko, no no, they wanted the best! They wanted Everest.
Oh and lest I forget, that lunch with the President? He not only didnt invite you, he never asked about you! But I understand, I mean how could you have made that meeting what with your ribbon cutting at the local Goodwill being the same day. Im sure, seeing as how great you are, the president would have been happy to have lunch with you had you been able to clear your schedule.
Ive spent enough time comparing champions though, Milenko. At Meltdown youre getting in the ring with the best, plain and simple. When the nights over, youll end up just like the rest. On your back, staring at the lights. I know youre thinking you can withstand the Rockslide, or escape the Mountain Climber but believe me when I say better men have tried and better men have failed.
Come Monday night, you better believe Ill be ready, that Ill be focused. I know my title isnt on the line and a loss may not be the end of the world. The problem is I dont like losing, whether it is in the ring, on the basketball court, at a poker table or fantasy football and Monday night I dont plan on losing.
So Milenko, bring your Mayhem title, hell I havent seen it since management took it from me. Itll be nice to see it again and Ill bring the real prize, Ill bring my WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Maybe, just maybe while were standing face to face in the middle of the ring, Ill let you take a quick peek at what a real Championship looks like.
Everest looks over to Becky who is still sitting in her chair
My apologies Becky I kind of went on a ramble there.
BECKY: No apologize needed. You always make my job easier. I just get you started and off you go.
EVEREST: Yeah well Ive always been a man of many words.
At that moment a person walks by the door heading toward the weight room. The person looks just like Diego San Pablo. Becky looks at Everest and is really freaked out. Everest reassures her though.
EVEREST: Oh that! Yeah weirdest thing, that guy always seems to be roaming around here. Owner here says its a, what do I want to say, a mentally challenged person, but hey to each its own. Seems like a nice guy though.
Anyway, Becky its been a pleasure as usual. Ive got to go get changed and head out to dinner with the misses but Ill see you at Meltdown, right?
BECKY: As always. Take care and enjoy your evening.
EVEREST: You too my dear.
With that Everest, picks up his bag and quickly heads out the door and toward the locker rooms as the camera shot fades out.
