A video package plays on the screen featuring clips of Zander Young in WZCW. Becky Serra’s Voice Is played over the top of the video.
Becky - One man has arrived to change the face of professional wrestling. He has risen above the competition and all expectations. Zander Young brings to you, ZANDER TV.
Last time on Meltdown we see a clip of Frankie Smith hitting Zander Young with the steel chair.
Neil and Steve are sitting backstage, watching on from behind the camera.
Steve whispers to Neil. - Zander doesn’t look himself today Neil. What’s wrong with him? Have you been picking on him again?
Neil - What? no. He’s been acting all weird all week, I cant get two words out of him.
Steve - Ok. But if you better not be picking on him again because you have a girlfriend and you don’t. He’s just waiting for the right woman. He winks at Neil. Ok?
Neil - I’m not picking on him Steve!
Steve turns away slyly looking at Neil - Ok then…
Steve’s phone rings as he and Neil are asked to leave the room.
Neil - God damn it Steve!
The camera fades back in as we see Stacey Madison sitting across the room from Zander. The walls are covered in a large, purple backdrop and promotional banners of Zander Young hang from the walls which feature photos of Zander Young making his entrance and another of him with Frankie Smith in the ‘Spiral Staircase’ from last week. There are also large Yucca plants behind each chair. The lights are slightly dimmed.
Zander sits in his chair wearing his ring gear and black, drummer boy style jacket.
Stacey sits cross legged wearing a plain, black dress with spaghetti straps.
The camera cuts to Zander whenever he talks, a different camera cuts to Stacey whenever she talks.
Stacey Madison- Zander, last week in Clancy’s, what was the deal? I mean, why would you go to the same bar as Frankie? That’s just stupid
Zander sits there looking sad, staring at his feet.
Zander Young - I didn’t realise he would be there, I didn’t think I suppose. To be fair my manager dragged me along but I should have known. I knew it was a bad idea from the start.
Zander continues to look down, shaking his head.
SM - He got the better of you would you agree? You gave him a perfect opportunity to get one up on you before the match. And then you just took the punch like a sissy. Why?
ZY - It knocked me a bit silly, I just didn’t know what to do, how to react.
I feel as though I’ve let myself down doing something so stupid, I could have put my friends in danger. He sighs.
SM - You went onto win the match, but again Frankie got the better of you, I mean come on! You celebrated to the fans like a loser, trying to feed off the crowds attention while you were still out in the ring. The fans don’t pay their money to see the likes of you, fighting it out at the bottom of the pile, they pay their beer money to see the legends of this business.. The main eventers. The Champions. Up and Comers like Frankie Smith is who they will pay to see in the future, not guys like you.
Stacey continues her rant in disgust, scowling at Zander.
SM - Another steel chair shot last week Zander. Why haven’t you learned your lesson? Are you stupid or ignorant or both? Is it so difficult…
Zander cuts her off mid sentence.
ZY - YOU JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH! he blasts at Stacey, who looks in shock.
I’ve had it up to here with people who say Zander Young will never make it, he’s too laid back, he’s too silly blah, blah, blah. Zander Young is a wrestler. A wrestler who’s destiny is to one day become World Champion! People like you will tell me I will never make it. People Like Frankie Smith can do whatever they want to try and stop me, he is just the first of many tough obstacles in my career.
Zander looks to the camera.
I have no respect for you Frankie as a person but I have respect for you as a wrestler. Hitting me with the chair was weak, it showed everyone the type of man you are. I challenge you to leave the chairs under the ring and face me man to man. Then, at All or Nothing. No holds barred, No Disqualifications, you can round up all the steel chairs, tables, ladders, barbed wire bats, take your fucking mother to ringside if you must.
He lifts up a black briefcase.
ZY - All I need in in this briefcase, that I will unveil the contents of at the Pay Per View. Don’t be mistaken Frankie, I plan on destroying you at Meltdown before you can even think about facing me at All or Nothing. The contents i hold seal your fate.
I look forward to the demise of Frankie Smith at All or Nothing, if you even make it there in the first place.
Zander Gets up to walk away.
SM - Hey, I wasn’t finished the interview! Get back here immediately! she yells to Zander.
ZY - I don’t care Stacey, I really don’t care about you or your little interviews.
He turns to face her.
ZY - Just leave me alone you little bitch!
Stacey Slaps Zander as hard as she can on the cheek. Zander’s face turns red with pain but he doesn’t react to the slap.
ZY - You and Frankie have so much in common, you both think you’re better than me. But Zander Young will shock the world.
He moves closer into Stacey’s ear, it looks like he has something to whisper to her but he just chuckles and walks away shaking his head.
Stacey stands in shock as the screen fades to black.
