A backstage interview

[Metal Dragon]

Metal Dragon, after cutting his promo on Friday Night Mayhem, is being interviewed backstage.

Interview Guy: Metal Dragon, I just saw your statement to the crowd in the ring. What kind of an impact do you think you can make in GHW?

MD: You know, since I just joined this company, and since I have been gone for a while, I am in the Sergeant Division, and I plan to have a good start there. Then, I will move farther and farther up. It's a long way to the top, but I WILL make it, and none of these mediocre performers that I am sharing a locker room with have a damn chance at stopping me.

IG: What do you think about Lockdown?

MD: I don't know anybody in this company, and I haven't even had a match yet, so I don't think anything about Lockdown. The match card has already been made, and I knew that it would be best for me not to be in the ring until after the event.

IG: That's all I have to ask for now. My guest has been Metal Dragon.

MD walks off to his locker room, and is interruped by...

*Matt comes up behind Metal Dragon, tapping him on the shoulder. Dragon swings around, fists up, ready to fight.*

Matt: "Woah! Easy there! I'm not gonna be getting physical."

*Dragon reluctantly lowers his fists.*

Matt: "Listen, I've been watching you out there in the Indys. You have to be one of the greatest Fighty fighty persons out there in the Seargent Division. Now, many guys have come and gone here, sporting more balls than brains, but you have to be the only one who knows the truth about those fans...trust me, I learned it the hard way."

Matt: "So I have a proposition for you, Metal Dragon, let me take you under my wing...I know it sounds foolish, but you need to trust me on this, I know how GHW works, I know how you dominate. I can give you gold and glory...I can give that to you. I ask that you become my Disciple. This company has a glass ceiling, and I know how to break it...What do you say, Dragon?"

*Matt awaits Metal Dragon's response.*

Metal Dragon thinks for a second, and finally speaks.

MD: Oliveira, I have been in this business for a while and could be in the Colonel division if not for injuries, and I know talent when I see it.

OOC: Injuries = Detachings

Metal Dragon pauses for a moment, then speaks.

MD: Oliveira, you and I both have talent, and I will gladly consider you an ally, and maybe even a friend. However, I will not follow anyone. I've won gold before in other companies, so I don't need instruction on how to do it here.

*Matt is taken aback, but continues attemping to persuade Dragon.*

Matt: "Ok, I understand that...but don't you agree in the term 'United we stand, Divided we Fall'?...Right now, the company is being held down by a bunch of egos, called The Titans. I've been talking around the Locker Room, and I've offered two guys the part. None of them have the prestige you do, but they are brutal. I'm looking for the visionaries, I'm looking for the prophets, I'm looking GHW's future."

Matt: "I'm asking you, some would call it pleading. Join me in the rise of The Disciples, I swear, we can cleanse this company of the Titans, once and for all."

Metal Dragon seems more interested in this offer than before.

MD: So, there's a group of Fighty fighty persons who are holding down this company. I never like that. I have seen a past company that I was in get destroyed by a group. I will not let that happen to this company. I will consider your offer. It's not a "yes" or a "no" as of now. When I have an answer, I will tell you.

MD walks back to his locker room and closes the door.

*Todd walks up to Matt. Matt seems slightly frustrated, feeling like he has his hands full.*

Matt: "Let me guess...the spectacle-wearing gerbil wants to interrogate me now?"

*Todd gives a quick nod.*

Matt: "Fine, what do you want to know..."

Todd: "We..the people..the fans..uh.."

Matt: "You're still nervous from last time, aren't you..."

*Todd gives another quick nod.*

Matt: "Don't worry, if I were to beat you, it would just be a waste of energy. Now, out with it!"

Todd: "Well...we were wondering your thoughts going into LockDown."

*Matt lets out a deep breath.*

Matt: "I guess you've had your head up your ass for the past two weeks...Listen, AXL ROSE has been a thorn in my side for the past month. What people don't realize is that I was just trying to quench his thirst for pain with that knife. It took me two consecutive matches for fulfill that, and now he's gone."

Todd: "What about Air King?"

Matt: "What ABOUT Air King?...I told you, Air King has a fetish for the gold, he hungers for it. Unfortunately, for Queenie, he's going to die of starvation, don't expect him to be in "contention" after LockDown. I told everyone I was going to take over the Sergeant Division, and the next on the list are Cronus and Dormouse."

Todd: "So this is still about the title?"

Matt: "When HASN'T it been about the title? When I returned, I promised two things. First, it was to break necks and knock people out. Secondly, it was to save the Sergeant Division.
This is just merely a process of baptizing it in the rivers...and all the sin is washed away. The sin is the Champion and the #1 Contender."

Todd: "Dormouse and Cronus, but those are two guys!...and what about Hyperion?"

Matt: "You know what they say: If you can't beat them, go get a bunch of your buddies and beat them together."

Todd: "Buddies?...Since when do you have buddies in this company?"

*A smile cracks across Matt's face.*

Matt:"...Oh, don't worry about that, Gerbil..."

*Matt glances over at Metal Dragon's locker room door, then turns back, still with a smile.*

Matt: "...don't worry about that at all."

*Matt pie-faces Todd, who falls back, landing flat on his back. Matt gives him a patronizing smile, then leaves camera range.*
