We're backstage with Leon Kensworth who's stood looking at his watch.
Leon: He's late, I hate it when people are late.
Leon looks to his left and his right and then shrugs his shoulders.
Leon: I hate it when they do this, no one ever turns up on time.
The camera pans out to show Titus is stood next to Leon Kensworth.
Titus: Seriously being late is my major annoyance. Shall we just start without him?
Leon: Sure thing. So you're here once again against an opponent you have fought countless times before. What is going through your mind?
Titus: Where would you even start with that?
Titus sighs and puts his heads on his hands for a couple of seconds. He then lets out another sigh as he puts the hands on his waist.
Titus: It's kind of like, you know, in a movie where the main characters life flashes before their eyes?
Leon: Yeah I do.
Titus: It's like that. Images with us teaming followed by images of us ripping each other to shreds. The rage in the ring as I pin him. His quest to get the world title from me. The moment I defeated him for the 'real' world title. Throwing his compass belt in the sea. The |Ricky World Order. Their attempts to destroy me and my attempts to fighting back. Lethal Lottery. Cages. Chairs. Tables. Ladders. Blood. Sweat. Toil. Tears. The crowd going nuts. That's how I feel about Steamboat Ricky.
Leon: A lot has changed since then though, Ricky almost seems like a new person.
Titus nods in agreement.
Titus: It's amazing what a shower, shave and a haircut can do to you. Add into that a cut down on Rum and going to Tortuga for the best food in the world. He's lost a ton of weight and that's not a bad thing.
Leon: I guess it would seem like you're facing a brand new person.
Titus: Spot on. He has a rather serious attitude which is something very few people have had to deal with add into that his new physique and yeah it is like I'm facing someone new. That will not only be exciting for myself, but exciting for the fans.
Leon: Yet this week is not all about you and Ricky. You're now part of the mentorship programme which is something else that's new for you.
Titus smiles but seems agitated at the same time.
Titus: I think it's great. When I went to Hollywood I didn't have a mentor. When I came to WZCW I didn't have a mentor. When I was saving the day as Red Mask I didn't have a mentor. It took me months to get settled and make a name for myself and I thought if I can help someone on their way then I guess it's not a bad thing.
Leon: They could have worse people to learn from.
Titus laughs at this.
Titus: Thanks, but my reputation proceeds me. It takes the fundamentals to build up but they need to grow into their own person and have fun with it, if not then what's the point?
Leon: So what would you say the key components are?
Titus: There are two key principles in my life.
Leon: They are?
Just then Angel walks into the shot and is talking on his cellphone. Before he can talk to Titus the actor grabs the cellphone from Angel and throws it across the room.
Titus: The first is to never be late for a scheduled interview. The second is not to use your phone when the camera's are rolling. Who will it be? Bateman telling you what your match is? If you don't know what your match is before you're in front of the camera's you have a problem.
Titus then turns to Angel.
Titus: We've got a lot to go through it would seem, let's go.
They walk off leaving Leon by himself.
