The scene fades from another re-run of Reck Maverick's most recent interview to a scene where as always a POW camera is placed perfectly to catch one of their stars... their new stars in an interview setting. This time it happens to be in the hotel room of Josh Eagles where he is clicking off a television set and you can tell by the look on his face that he only just finished watching Reck Maverick's most recent promo.
One would think that Josh would have a look of concentration or fear, or even amusement on his face... instead he has a look of shear disappointment on his face, almost looking sad. Josh throws the controller onto his bed and shakes his head removing his shirt and going to get into bed when he suddenly "notices" the camera and begins to smile a little bit and shake his head.
"Ya know I gotta say I am a little disappointed in the way things are going here already. I mean, first ya have people saying that I am not good enough to hang with Reck Maverick anymore... then you have Reck doing this!"
Josh points to the now black TV screen and shakes his head in disappointment.
"Reck you are right I used to be your sidekick... we used to run around together as the Canadian Prodigies... although I don't remember us being quite so "nice" anyway and we used to kick some major ass. Yeah, I got arrogant and left you that is all right... I left cause I was better and you were stealing the DAMN money 1% or not. But dude I thought you were above trying to say that I have never beaten you.
Maverick I beat you for the United Kingdom Title in the MPW, I beat you like 4 or 5 times in our UWL career together... if your list is sooo short then why is it you were UWL's official jobber? I can tell you Reck, you were washed up then! You may now think that you are some big hot shot, you and Jayde may just be the King and Queen of comedy... but that is all you are! Some Comedic hot shot, exactly like your in ring ability... it's gone man! Since you took this new turn you are NOTHING and it is sad that you like to dilute yourself by thinking you are something important or good anymore."
Josh stops talking for a moment and walks across to the mini bar in the hotel room and the camera pans to follow him. He stops and grabs a can of Diet Pepsi and some whiskey and mixes himself a drink.
"Reck I am not going to get down on this whole "gimmick" I am not going to get down on you being a NINJA or what not. HELL it probably does great when it comes to merchandise sales and getting the crowd pumped... HELL man it kicks ass. But in the ring you are still nothing but a scrawny, no talent, hack! You used to idolize and love classic wrestling now you just tarnish it... you spit on everything wrestling has ever stood for. Oh, what the hell man, I am done I am not even going to get down on you upon that, cause this is all your choice.
Just like it is your choice to think you can joke your way through this match and look right past me! Ya know Reck you do whatever your heart desires... you think Murderous Intent is a big problem for you... that they are what you have to worry about is them stabbing you from behind? Well what about the person you have to face at Spring Breakage who is going to punch you in the face from the front? Again I guess it is all your own decision right?"
Josh pauses to take a long swig from his drink, well actually he drains the cup and slams it down to hard and shatters the glass. Josh just shakes it off and looks down at the broken glass.
"You know Reck, this broken glass kinda reminds me of your career! At one point it was strong, sturdy, solid, and reliable... now it lays here in shambles useless to the world, a reflection of what it once was. It is exactly like you Reck, one hand swatted your from the top and shattered you into this broken wannabe form of yourself. At one point I would consider stepping into the ring with you an honor, a privlage, but now I just consider it a joke!
I consider your abilities a joke, just like I consider everyone in this whole federation a joke. Reck you know you can mock me, mock this match but it just shows how far you have fallen from the top, shows how far down the ladder you have come and how quickly I am just going to put you under the rug... where is exactly where you belong!
The big question... this series, what does it mean to you? What will this series mean to you Reck? If it is not for the competition, if it is not for the thrill of the challenge... then what is it? I know it's not for the title cause I know you can't even care about that... you never have and you never will! So it must be for the fans, that is what I guess it is all for the fans... putting on the best show you can for these people! Yeah that's what it is isn't it... it's all a big game!
Well you see Reck this isn't a game for me... it is life and that title is the holy grail of this company... not that it is the holy grail of wrestling, but here it is all that matters, so it is all I want. Do you know what it means to walk into a new company and more the less be handed a shot? Tito he thinks that I am going to be "earning" it and at one point I may have been against you but not anymore. By the end of the next two months I will be facing whoever the champion is for the Midwest Heavyweight Championship and you can guarentee that I will be the New England Heavyweight Champion as well.
Reck I will be on top of the company and I am happy that I get to use you as my stepping stone to the top. It feels so right to beat you, to make you suffer the humiliation of defeat and loose out on something that precious, but at the same time it maybe time for me to teach you something, that you have a killer inside you... that you are better then this! Now get the hell out of my hotel room!"
