[ As if Wesley Crane sending a spokesperson wasn’t bad enough, a tech crew then lowers a projector screen and dims the lights in the room. A video begins to play. We see Disney World. It is a symmetrical shot of Main Street, USA. In the background towers Cinderella’s castle. Given the empty street and golden hour light, this would have been shot before “rope drop” in the morning. A podium is set up in the middle of a frame and a blonde woman in the flannel vest of a VIP tour guide stands behind it. The iconic Disney name tag identifies her as an Olivia from Whitefish, Montana.]
Olivia: The Disney Corporation would like to extend our congratulations to Marty Donovan. Yesterday, he became the 34th man to hold the historic Hardkore World Heavyweight Championship. Having accomplished this only a week after being…
[The woman pauses for a moment and has to compose herself.]
Olivia:...stabbed no doubt proves that he is the greatest wrestler in history. Mr.Donovan was planning to address the UK media in person. However, his appearance at Battle of Britain is currently off unless certain assurances can be made.
[She pauses, anticipating that the media elsewhere would need a second to calm down again.]
Olivia: Mr.Donovan requests that he be told the identity of the mystery entrant. This can be done in private and is not to gain any sort of advantage over the competition. Rather, this is because of a new personal rule.
[The blonde looks straight into the camera.]
Olivia: Disney’s Marty Donovan will never share a ring with Zoran Sainovic again.
[She looks back down at her notes.]
Olivia: Sainovic’s heinous actions are worthy of a lifetime ban from the sport. Likewise, the XHF has shown they are incapable of ensuring the safety of the athletes in their ring . Disney’s Marty Donovan will never again compete for the XHF and encourages all promoters to explore alternative platforms as soon as legally possible. Disney Plus has an audience of over 152 million subscribers globally and is the only place to see The Mandalorian.
[She flips to the second page of her script.]
Olivia: Once again, we are asking Mr.Blood to provide proof that Zoran Sainovic will not be competing or in attendance at this event. Given Mr.Donovan has no prior relationship with the promoter, we request that long time friend Jeremy Tucker provide his assurances too. Mr.Donovan looks forward to the speedy resolution of this issue, so that he can provide the fans with a performance high above what the Wrestle: UK roster is capable of. Thank you.
[The shot fades out and the lights in the room turn back on. Hopefully, someone who has actually shown up for the press conference is next.]
