The camera cuts to the car park, where around a lot of rookies and trainees are sat around on their bags, due to the fact that they have been expelled from their locker room.
Most notably, Doc Green and Antonio Everrett are sat at the top of a small circle of rookies, now in their wrestling gear, as a result of a Tag Team main event being announced between FAME and the Uncrowned.
Green: This is just stupid.
Everrett: I suppose the higher ups don’t take too kindly to having their feathers ruffled, especially by nobodies like us right?
Green: That’s exactly their problem, Ant! They treat us like nobodies, but that’s just because they’re terrified that we’re gonna take their goddamned spot down the line.
Doc Green stands up and gestures to the rookie group.
Green: FAME want to think that we are just going to sit back and be their lap dogs while we allow them to turn this company into a nostalgia act, but that’s not how I do things.
Green:
If i want something done I scratch and claw and earn everything that I get, but these guys think they can walk right back in and take what we’re trying to build?
Green:
No! Tonight, myself and Ev get one opportunity to show these guys who’s running things around here. They can run around backstage and ‘haze’ the new guys, but there’s one place they have no excuses, nowhere to run or hide.
Doc points towards the backstage area.
Green: Inside that ring! And guess what, the Uncrowned is here to stay, and we don’t care who wants to try and take us out, whether they’ve won 4 championships, 5 championships, hell I don’t care if they get a guard of honour each time they go down that ramp, we’re gonna show those power-hungry idiots exactly why we are here to stay!
After finishing his small tangent, the band of rookies look up at Green. He receives only a minor reaction, mainly due to the damp spirits of the group after being banished from their locker room.
Everrett: Damn Doc, that’s the kind of fire we need right now! We ain’t been more ready for this match ever in our lives. Now it’s our job to channel that frustration and knock the arrogance out of their deluded minds.
Green: That’s what we’ve been doing for so long. Let’s do this.
The pair do their usual handshake and make their towards the backstage area to warm up.
The X-Tron Flashes On!
Jim Black walks up to Empress with a cameraman as she making her way into the arena.
Jim: Empress can we have a word with you about Flojo and OtaKru?
She stops and turns to look at him
Jim: How do you feel knowing Flojo is back from suspension following that attack on you after your match with Ace on Turmoil 222? As well as the attack during your Clark Effect interview?
Empress: How do I feel? Listen John..
Jim: umm..It’s Jim.
Empress:Nani?
Jim: My name it’s Jim. You called me John.
Empress stares at him confused for a moment before continuing on.
Empress: I feel disrespected by Flojo’s actions. I thought she had some honor and respect but, I guess I was wrong she’s just like all the other busu around this place.
Empress:
Sneak attacking people what kind of degenerate does that? I’m done playing this game with her time to end the chapter called Flojo.
Jim: What about Otakru?
Empress: Jeff..let me tell about OtaKru..They are sucker fish..you know what a sucker fish is Jake? They eat discorded food from the bottom of ocean floor.
Empress:
OtaKru has been eating everyone else’s leftovers and they feel like they deserve something for doing so. It’s a group of weeaboo’s being lead by Bray the Ganguro girl.
Empress:As for Ace. Did I underestimate Ace in our fight yes.. But, I also felt sorry for her.
Empress:
I mean she had to ride her big wheel all the way here from across the street all by herself and Papa Bray didn’t give her a Juice box for lunch.
Empress: Mmm...juice box that sounds good.
Empress grabs Jim
Empress: But, that's enough of that Jacob. Let's go grab some food you’re treating.
Jim: It’s Jim...nevermind.
Empress drags Jim down the hall away from the camera.
