*Cold open close up to the lovely face of Farrah Tomlin.*
Farrah: Hello, and welcome to this special edition of VWS News. I’m Farrah Tomlin, and I’m joined today by one of Valentine Wrestling Syndicate’s many talented performers, the big man known only as Amok.
*The camera pulls away to show Farrah sitting on a generic talk show set with the gold and purple VWS logo on display. She’s dressed in a white blouse under a navy blazer with matching pencil skirt. Also in the shot is the broad back of the aforementioned Amok. There’s a cut to the second camera and we see the wrestler face to face. He’s got on a black suede biker jacket over a shirt that advertising “The Butterscotch Giraffe Gentleman’s Club”, and a pair of dungarees. Amok is clearly unhappy to be in this spot, he’s hunched forward in the snug chair, elbows resting on his knees as he glowers at the interviewer.*
Amok: Yeah, let’s go.
*Farrah, ever a professional, obliges him with an even smile.*
Farrah: Last Sunday at Uprising was your debut for VWS. You were part of a six man Battle Royal to determine the Number One contender for the World Title. Can you give us your perspective on the match?
Amok: I got eliminated by three scrubs who knew the only chance they had of winning was to team up against me.
Farrah: You are referring to the actions of Jimmy Wicked, Mike Bradley, and Johnny Gillmen?
*There is a video clip of Amok’s elimination, where Wicked pulls down the top rope while Gillmen and Bradley chuck the big hoss from the ring, then a cut back to Amok, who is sneering.*
Amok: Friggin’ pipsqueaks. I bet they had the whole spot planned from the start; probably got together before the show and set it all up. You’re looking at a conspiracy victim right here.
Farrah: Amok, you’re not arguing that what happened to you was unfair, are you? After all, there’s no rule against working together in a Battle Royal.
*He shakes his head.*
Amok: Nah, my getting tossed was legit; cheap, but legit. But this isn’t over. I’m going to get my receipt on all three of those punks, starting with Wicked this Tuesday.
*Farrah brings the discussion back to a topic Amok referenced himself.*
Farrah: You claim to be a victim of a conspiracy, yet there’s evidence that you yourself are in collusion with parts of VWS, in particular the company’s owner Ana Valentine and her husband VWS World Champion Alex Jones. During your match at Uprising you immediately targeted Justin Harmony, who according to rumors had issues with Ms. Valentine backstage.
*A disgruntled Amok raises his hand in protest.*
Amok: Hold up; you’re accusing me of being in cahoots with Office because I threw an opponent out of Battle Royal?! That’s the goal of the match, Sugar Britches.
Farrah: Yes, but the fact is prior to the start of the contest you and Ana shared what can only be described as a significant look.
*The giant shakes his head in disbelief.*
Amok: Yeah? So what? Maybe the boss was just admiring my ink.
*He slides his arms free of his jacket to show off the tattoo of the sun on his left shoulder. Farrah is noticeably unimpressed.*
Farrah: Then there was what happened later in the evening, when you attacked Gabriel Ellis during the Triple Threat Title Match for the VWS World Championship.
*Another clip. This one shows Amok ambushing Ellis outside of the ring, laying him out with his Guillotine Drop finisher and several chair shots. There’s a cut to one of the men Gabriel was facing, Alex Jones, who watches the carnage with satisfaction. Later, when Amok is being led away by security, he and Jones nod to each other. The footage ends, and we’re back to looking at Farrah.*
Farrah: Based on that video there appears to be some form of unspoken agreement between yourself and the current World Champion. Do you have any comment?
Amok: Yeah: don’t hold your breath waiting for that Pulitzer. You accuse me of being a stooge based on a look and a nod?! That’s your proof? Weak. I should sue you for defamation of character. Or better yet, get you fired. Who’s your boss, honey?
*The young woman is undeterred.*
Farrah: So you are stating for the record that there is no collusion, no quid pro quo, between yourself and Ana Valentine or her husband?
Amok: I swear, on the life of my mother, I have never made any kind of deal with anyone in VWS. You want to know why I took out Gabriel Ellis? Because there’s only room for one giant in this fed, and it’s me. I eat first. Everyone else can get in line.
*He jerks his thumb over his shoulder to pantomime his directive. Again, we get a shot of Farrah, who moves on with the interview.*
Farrah: This upcoming Tuesday Night Tenacity you will be facing Jimmy Wicked in singles competition. Earlier you accused him of plotting against you at Uprising. Is it safe to assume this will be something of a grudge match?
Amok: Finally you get something right. This week I’m out for blood. Wicked’s going to pay for costing me that Number One Contender’s spot. I’m going to tear his head off.
Farrah: It doesn’t sound like you have much respect for Jimmy Wicked as a competitor.
*The big man shrugs.*
Amok: Wicked’s solid; good but not special in any way. And he’s ballsy in the ring, willing to take a chance, so I expect him to come right at me Tuesday, which is a mistake. Dude’s not on my level. I’m bigger, and stronger, and a hell of a lot more ruthless. He tries any of that old school baby face fire against me and I’ll snuff him out like a ten cent candle. Count on it. Talent like Jimmy Wicked has no place in Valentine Wrestling. If this company wants to succeed it needs to focus on making new stars, not relying on gimmicks that were played out before most of us were even born. I’ll be doing the whole fed a favor when I beat Jimmy Wicked, and end his little nostalgia act for good.
*Amok gives the camera a knowing smirk as he says his closing line. Then the interview ends.*
