The scene opens up to a simple backstage area at this weeks Meltdown. Its a plain hospital style cold hallway. There is a huge security entry door about 12 feet down the hallway that the camera is focused on. Some scuttlebutt can be heard from beyond the door and after several seconds the door swings open and WZCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, EVEREST enters. You can hear the boos radiating from the parking lot and the first image we see is of Everest tossing a Steamboat Ricky sign he obviously took from a fan into the nearby trash can. As the camera pans with Everest as he walks by we can hear that beautiful serene voice of WZCW interviewer, Becky Serra.
BECKY: Everest? Excuse me Everest?
Everest continues to walk past until he comes to a stop in front of his dressing room door. On the door we can all see the Everest sign, and then the second line of the plague comes into view. It says the most important thing of all
WZCW WORLD CHAMPION
Everest finally stops, turns to Becky who he has ignored this whole time and speaks as he points to the sign on his door.
EVEREST: That right there Becky. That right there says it all.
He smiles and enters his locker room, completely leaving Becky standing.
We cut to another spot in the backstage area. It is set up as a backstage interview area and again we see Becky standing there getting ready for an interview as she talks to one of the production guys.
BECKY: No actually, our World Champion, pretty much blew me off like I was some two bit hooker on the corner. Anyway not much I can do about it now, besides I better prepare for the interview with Steamboat Ricky. Lord knows these things can get strange.
With that Everest comes strutting around the corner, decked out like a World Champion should be. Designer shirt, High style khakis, $300 Alligator skin shoes and an expensive gold chain hangs from his neck, but the one thing that sparkles is the WORLD TITLE lying across his left shoulder. He stops right in front of Becky.
EVEREST: Well hello. My guess is you wanted an interview earlier, so lets get it over with.
BECKY: Well, um I would but Im about to tape a segment with Steamboat Ri
..
EVEREST: Hahahaha, that deckswabber. Hes not worth the filthy fifty cent shirt he wears around. Youve got the World Champion standing here. You are standing approximately 2 feet from the Pinnacle of this place and you are worried about a pirate that would get thrown off his own boat if the damn parrot had a brain.
Now youre going to tell me you dont want this interview. I mean I hear Leons back or Jack Cohen, yeah he might like talking to a champion, seeing as how he gets stuck with that Lifetime channel want to be Sebastian Copeland.
BECKY: No, no Id be, ahem, Id be happy for the opportunity. First things first, at Civil Revolution you become World Heavyweight Champion for the
EVEREST: No Becky, I became THE World Heavyweight Champion. For the second time no less. You see Becky I told everyone before the Revolution that I was going to take back what was mine. I told everyone that I was bringing home the only thing that matters.
You know what Becky, I did it. Simple as that. I said it and I followed through. I finished the pirate and took all that the Russian had to offer and won the match.
BECKY: Well actually if memory serves me, I recall you didnt do it alone.
Everest reaches over beside him, just out of view of the camera, and pulls out a steel chair for the camera.
EVEREST: Oh, Becky do you mean this.
Everest holds the chair up and two fairly large dents, one on each side of the chair, are easily visible. Everest points to the first one
EVEREST: You see this Bec, this one right here, this dent with the kind of odd shaped egg looking indentation? Yeah thats from Rickys head trying to stop my swing. Look you can even see a little blood right there in the crease.
With that Everest plants a sticker of Steamboat Rickys face right on the chair. He then flips the chair around to see the back side.
EVEREST: Ah, then there is this monstrosity of a dent. Who know that Russians head was the size of Texas, but even he wasnt stopping my personal tribute to Grady Sizemore. I have to admit that one felt good.
With that Everest does the same thing, this time plastering a Carmen Bratchney sticker right by the dent.
BECKY: Yeah but why use the chair at all?
EVEREST: You know what woman? There are only two people too blame for that Civil Revolution main event. Its simple really. The only people you can blame are Carmen and Steamboat themselves. I told everyone who would listen; I told fans, interviewers, stupid rednecks who couldnt find the exit to their doublewide unless they moved the mounds of Natural Light beer cans. I told them all, I told you, I told everyone I would get back what was mine, I preached it. I promised the world that MY World Title was coming home, come hell or high water, no matter what it took. At Civil Revolution I did exactly that! I took every opportunity, every cheap shot, every bad guy move I could think of and you know what I enjoyed every minute of it.
And before you ask Becky, I do know that tonight on Meltdown the pirate has invoked his rematch clause. Yes I do know that he and his legion of approximately 12 sweat soaked, parrot loving, deck swabbing fans are not happy at all at the outcome of Civil Revolution and they all plan on Steamboat taking out some frustrations on our beloved WORLD CHAMPION.
But guess what Becky? Hes not coming in World Champion and he damn sure isnt leaving as one either. So Steamboat, Im not issuing any warnings, I am not going to spout off or rant and rave about how Im going to do this or that, or break your legs or anything like that. You know why? Because I dont have to. You see, Steamboat Rickys been in the ring with me and he knows exactly what is coming and once again he wont be able to stop it, plain and simple.
BECKY: Well are you saying that Steamboat has no shot at Meltdown.
EVEREST: Quite simply, NO he does not. Will that suffice?
BECKY: Yes, I guess it
.
With that Everest simply walks off, no thanks or see you laters. Becky is just disgusted as the camera fades to black.
