[Championship belts glisten in the display cases littering the back wall, as the camera fades into the office of Syndicate Wrestling And Tradition commissioner Zoran Sainovic. Sitting behind a black oak desk, your final boss waits a beat to coldly register the viewers, before picking an envelope out of a stack of letters on his desk. Pulling a sinister looking letter opener out of a desk drawer, Zoran is quick to remove its contents.]
Zoran Sainovic: Good afternoon XHF. Even as ze world ends around us, please let me assure you, zat I will still be answering your questions. Consistency and routines are important in zese troubling times.
[Placing the letter opener in his coat pocket, an innocent gesture that only strikes you as odd when he later uses it to stab a bitch, Zoran produces a pair of reading glasses. Gold rimmed. These spectacles look as expensive as some of the championships behind the commissioner, while his questionable vision gives Sainovic a note of vulnerability. This is their purpose. Not required, they are little more than a prop.]
“Dear Mr. Sainovic,
[Taking everything in his power not to shake his head in disappointed understanding, your final boss places the letter on top of the pile. Giving himself a moment to mentally compose a response, Zoran removes his expensive spectacles. Taking a razor blade out of a dish of mints, the commissioner places it under a folded arm to secure it in the frame. Confident in the concealment of this party favour, Zoran places the glasses back in his breast pocket.]
Zoran Sainovic: Zank you for voicing your concerns Mr. Belger. Zough your views closely mirror my own, speaking as a representative of ze Network, please allow me to apologize for ze content zat upset you. Unfortunately Death Trap is less concerned with ze bigger picture than he is with Death Trap. Having devised zis coup before ze “real world” situations got serious, he didn’t have ze inclination or frankly, out of ze box zinking, to alter his tired schemes. #theheatislukewarm
[Damn, maybe Kuroi should have kept the champ in the picture.]
Zoran Sainovic: Bringing his rivalry with Mongo to ze forefront, further cements his status as ze frontrunner to ze upcoming Rumble, which is really all Death Trap cares about. Ask a few dozen performers to risk zeir health for an “annual tradition” while putting more time into one’s campaign for victory zan promoting the event itself? <shakes head> And he wants to be my illegitimate son.
[Turning in his leather chair, Zoran looks up at the wall of championships behind him.]
Zoran Sainovic: For ze next month, Death Trap will dazzle XHF fans with ze best produced promotional videos in ze company. Better lighting. Better wording. Stronger concepts? Harsher trash talk? <flinch> Almost like he has an entire team helping him. <beat> Death Trap may even have viewers at home believe he’s ze right man for MY belts. Huckster charm making everyone forget zat the federation he’s representing just put ze gold rush on hold, and MCCW could be going ze way of GCW. <turning back to the camera with a hand raised in protest> I would NEVER suggest zat MCCW’s current troubles are a result of trusting Death Trap as zeir ace. Zeir current crisis is grounded in ze troubles of ze outside world, its definitely not poor gates due to having faith in him, leading to ze kind of finances zat make gold rushes unfeasible. Nor zat while ze rest of us actively compete for ze fans, he’s basically on vacation. <moving his open hand to emphasis each word> Put zat idea out of your minds.
[Almost cracking a smile, Zoran shifts gears to the matter at hand.]
Zoran Sainovic: I am sure zat Death Trap will sell everyone on his deserving ze next title reign. For his many honeyed words, zere are a few simple facts zat no matter how many promos and arguments he makes, he will not be able to address.
Death Trap won ze Eve of Destruction tournament.
Almost as many performers as are in zis rumble, put zeir reputations on ze line, for a massive tournament zat Death Trap came out on top of. His prize included an X*Crown title shot.
Now he might have pissed zat title shot away on a four-way-dance won by yours truly, because despite deserving to win, he had politics against him. Zat is a reasonable argument. <shrug> It doesn’t change ze fact that he failed to capitalize on ze momentum of ze tournament. How many big wins does Death Trap get, before everyone clues into ze fact that he NEEDS zose big wins.
[Burn.]
Zoran Sainovic: I know that _I_ make it look easy, but not many people can handle ze responsibility of management along with ze pressures of championship glory. Bobby Barrett couldn’t. And you’re no Bobby Barrett, Death Trap. You want to be big boss? Zat’s fine. <eyes narrow> Play your Metal Gear games, but stick to ze shadows, and stay ze hell away from MY titles.
[Picking up Belger’s letter, Sainovic raises it in the air in acknowledgement.]
Zoran Sainovic: Zank you again for your concerns, Mr. Belger. Please allow me to assure you zat ze current look of ze website will leave soon with all ze fizzle of an overly plotted title challenge zat fell flat. <sad nod> Also, as ze hacker decided to prominently feature a Star of David in its new posts icon, presented ze proud symbol in a trollish manner, it certainly FEELS like a hate crime, which ze good people at proboards do not take kindly too.
[Man, aren’t you glad you waited till the last line? Finished, Zoran returns to answering mail, continuing to act as the only reliable element in XHF fan’s lives. What a great man. You all feel bad for thinking you could win.]

Zoran Sainovic:
“Dear Mr. Sainovic,
I am a great admirer of your work, and as the only authority figure at the XHF that can be trusted, was hoping you could address the current situation with their website.
Unable to go outside in our current situation, I find myself spending more and more of my days logged onto it, checking out all my favourite XHF stars from Anthony Caffrey to Timeless Alex Turner. It is one way to pass the time. I know I should be more productive, but I find the state of the world so depressing, it is about all I can force myself to do. Recently, I logged on to find the comfort I drew from your face on the banner ripped away by what could only be described as the scatological self-pleasuring of a sick mind. The calm and tranquil colour palette replaced by garish clashes highlighted with what can only be described as Ebola red.
My life is currently defined by worrying about contracting viruses, now I have to worry about Internet viruses too. I look to the XHF for escapism, only to find myself triggered. Who on earth thought this was a good idea?
Extremely disappointed,
Belger from Metro City”
