The camera pans across a studio. Lights, backdrops, and stage hands are strewn about the room. Focus settles on two men with a dark backdrop behind them. One man has a thick mustache and is wearing a suit, a suit so fine it makes Sinatra look like a hobo. The other man is wearing jeans and a dark retro t-shirt which bares a reference to Mr. T. The viewer is thrust into the conversation.
The man in the suit is readily identifiable as The News, manager and only public known friend to the last PWW United States champion, The Burning: who just happens to be the other man.
TN: Burning man, it is so good to be back on the scene in this business. Mind you the scenery has changed but it’s an unmistakable feeling, it’s in the air. The boost in spirits, morale, and of course, the wallet is all too familiar.
Burning: News, I told you to get a day job. Being my manager is no way to support those seven kids. This is especially true if I go down with an injury man. Get into real estate or something.
TN: I know Phil, I know. But this is the only thing that gets my blood flowing. Where else can you get the excitement of twenty thousand fans screaming at you, chanting your name, throwing food, or the occasional pair of panties? I know every time I’m holding some schmo down so you can knee him in the head or holding’ someone back so you can clock them with a chair I feel like I’m in heaven. Speaking of a schmo, what ya got on this Justin Robbins?
Burning: Not a damn thing, I’ve never heard of him. (He sticks his hand out in a slow waving motion as if to bring attention to something in his palm. The News follows it with his eyes). For all I know he could be the baddest mother I’ve ever been up against.
On the other hand (He sticks out the other hand, which the news changes his focus to). This guy could have been the valet that I accused of dinging my car in the summer of 1993. He did say he would get revenge. This is a pretty roundabout way of doing things, but hey if that’s his game lets go for it. I don’t care who he is. I just hope he brought his dancing shoes because I'm not coming to lie down, that’s for damn sure. I'm don’t save Pay-Per-View quality matches for a one time per month display. I'm full-on all the time News.
TN: That’s true. I’ve damn near thrown in the towel for the other guy on occasion. You can be dangerous when you get in that zone. This is especially true since it’s all about the gold this time. It’s a tournament match, and its round one baby. Just arrived on the scene and we are already going to the top. But I guess that’s the way it’s always been huh. Make a statement, and win titles.
Burning: Wouldn’t have it any other way. But this time it’s so much sweeter. We’ve landed in a tournament for the big gold, the main event PPV match. This time we are on top. No most US titles, tag titles, Extreme titles, or any crap like that. Only one title matters to me. Only on time makes a difference in my world. Justin Robbins may not be an easy stepping stone, but it will look like it in the history books. I’ve never claimed to be the strongest, the toughest or the most intimidating, but I know damn well I can out wrestle any man in this or any other company. I don’t need gimmick matches. I just need ropes on four sides and a canvas for my artwork.
TN: And what the artist you are. It’s sure to be an impressive debut for us both here in nCw. I'm sure everybody is taking notes, and they sure as hell will be after you get done with Justin Robbins. And if you hear it from The News, it has to be true.
Burning: Sure enough. Let’s get back to the gym. Got to get all the training in we can before Collision.
The two walk out of frame continuing a conversation about how much The Burning will be training. After a moment the scene fades out.
