EARLIER TODAY:
*The cameras open up just after the beginning of the show. We see a man come flying out of the trainer’s room and land hard on his head. The camera man runs over to tend to the downed man. It’s Texas Pete having just been lawn darted out of the room by Bruno and Frostbite. As the camera man gets close we hear a set of footprints sprinting up. A hand reaches down and the camera tips up to see a man in a black t-shirt with his own logos on it and some black and gold wrestling tights. And of course, a signature bowler hat on his head.*
DT: "What the hell was that about? This guy probably has a concussion."
*The camera nods. DT looks at it. He blinks.*
DT: "Just gonna sit there and do nothing? Are you all so scared of the KGB around here that you can’t even tend to some guy they literally just had physically removed? Fuck man."
*DT slowly elevates Texas Pete’s head off the hard ground.*
DT: "Buddy you ok? Ok concussions are no joke. I’m gonna take him to the medical facility. I’ll be back shortly."
Now:
*Death Trap is seen standing in catering as the camera finds him. We see Warren W. Webber, SWAT backstage interviewer coming up next to him. DT notices and sees the microphone in his hand. He smirks.*
DT: "Man it’s been a while since anyone but Funaki interviewed me backstage. How’s it going?"
*Webber raises the microphone*
Warren W. Webber: Hello Death Trap, my name is Warren W. Webber. I just wanted to get some interview time with you.”
DT: "Hey that’s to be expected! It’s not every day you get a two time X*Crown Champ and current World Champ in your door is it!?"
*DT spins to face the camera and mock bows. He has his MCCW World title around his waist.*
DT: "Well Triple Dub lay it on me, what can I do for ya?"
Warren W. Webber: “Well… uh .. .trip..? Well DT our cameras caught you arriving to the show earlier but then you seemingly vanished. What was the necessity?”
*DT suddenly gets very serious. He shakes his head*
DT: "Well Warren the problem is I came across a medical emergency and nobody was doing a damn thing about it. Some kid got literally thrown head first out of the trainer’s room, the place he’s supposed to get medical attention. There were no staffers around and no other wrestlers seemed to care. And I realized this kid needed attention. He had a concussion. And probably made it worse by getting slammed face first."
Warren W. Webber: “You seem very passionate about helping this person out!”
DT: "Of fucking course. You may not know this about me here in SWAT but before MCCW came around I was not in the best place in my life. My brain was addled and crippled from all the concussions and trauma my head took from the brutal XHF Classic schedule and style. Frankly the fact I’m not a gibbering mess sipping Jell-O through a straw even now is a miracle. I turned it around though. I’ve taken steps to protect myself. But fast treatment is the key thing, that guy’s gonna miss some time but he’ll be better off for it. Concussions are no joke and it speaks volumes about the assholes in that room who threw him out that they did that."
*Warren holds the mic down and says in hushed tones:*
Warren W. Webber: “Well that’s the Kross Global Bandits.”
*DT looks at him and then rolls his eyes.*
DT: "It doesn’t make a lick of difference if it was the KGB, the SS, the Crest Kids, the Scooby gang, Mystery Inc, or goddamned President Kanyon himself. You don’t get to just casually cast aside someone else’s health for something as trivial as a massage. I don’t know much about these guys, I came in as a favor to Radu because he saved my career when I was here from Zoran and his goddamned LEGO death squad. But it’s clear why they brought me in. Suit, Radu, EC and I seem to be the only ones willing to put our necks on the line to stand up to these bullies. And that’s what they are. Bullies. They can’t earn what they want so they try to take it. And it disgusts me."
Warren W. Webber: “Well you certainly seem to have an interest in stopping them. ”
DT: "I don’t like people playing with others’ careers. And honestly I hate when they take a good show away from the fans. My whole career I’ve been out to put on the best show. You hear the arenas cheering me on no matter where I go. So when a group of guys tries to end careers and interferes in half the matches on the card it irks me. It really irks me. Seeing them attack Javier and attack Goth and Dinosaurio … and attack Soutter and Radu … it pisses me off. Because they know they are worthless in the ring on their own. They use every dirty trick in the book and it’s something I cannot abide by."
Warren W. Webber: “Armand and Frostbite are tag team champs however. And Eddie D was the Renegade Champion.”
*DT scoffs at him*
DT: "Armand and Frosty stole those titles. And Eddie decided he wanted backup after his buddy Trent took time off. Eddie has talent, look at how he did in the X*Crown match at End of Days before the cavalcade of weird interfered in the match. He could be dominant on his own if he just relied on his natural strength and charisma. But people like the Bandits like to take the easy way out and that’s never been for me. I fought to get back to the ring. I fought to life MCCW up into the top tier of feds. I fought to train a future world champion as my protégé. I fought to carry this title around with honor and represent MCCW here today. Eddie could fight and win himself all the endorsements and accolades he wants but he wants to take the easy way out. And Armand and his circus ignoramus is the worst. He runs RSW into the ground and then tries to take over another fed to run into the ground! The XHF likes SWAT, I don’t want it to fade because the owner is a malicious malcontent like Armand."
Warren W. Webber: “IS that why you are here in SWAT still even after you answered the call by Radu?”
DT: "It certainly made my decision to stay easier. Look when it comes time for global reps I’m still MCCW. But I have no intent to challenge for the X*Crown again, I’m getting too old for Mongo’s shit. And I don’t need to be buried under 8 dudes again."
*Warren lowers the mic a sec and looks at him funny. DT holds his hands up and looks innocent.*
DT: "IT’S ANCIENT XHF HISTORY TRIPLE DUBS! Just look it up. The point is … I don’t like the type of people Armand is and keeps around him. I don’t like murder clowns interfering in high quality matches and putting top tier guys on the shelf just so some skinny Eastern European twat can jack himself off to the misery and money. After all … ask dear old dad Zoran how I feel about that kind of shit man. So yes … when push comes to shove I am here to back Combatiente … even if he somehow ends up being Venom again … *shudders* … and Radu and Suit for a while. How long? Who knows? But Armand has earned my ire and if I have to march through his whole menagerie of menace to get to him and put his antics to an end… I will."
Warren W. Webber: “You uh … have been watching the product yes? You’ve surely seen the lengths Armand will go to.”
*DT laughs. He then holds up a hand as if to count on his fingers.*
DT: "Intimidation, mob boss tactics, completely illegal antics, sending henchmen to do his jobs for him, threatening violence, torturing lesser men. Yeah I’ve seen it and I once again wonder how Mongo allows it to happen. It’s bad enough he has a murder clown, twin tweedles both dee and dumb, an ineffectual number two, a muscle held under his sway by threats against ‘his friend’ – a man who seems to need no protection and is charging into the danger head first anyhow, and a second rate loose cannon at his beck and call. But he’s in here with his … what wife? And they’re blowing cigarette smoke around and harassing active talent. I mean he’s not the commish right? I mean did the board of directors just decide to replace Zoran with someone ALMOST as sadistic but more willing to work with others to take what he wants?"
*DT looks right into the camera*
DT: "Von Krauss listen here. I’ve had to deal with your type before. ECF original management, Mongo the Destroyer … I think you’ll find I’m not easy to intimidate. And unlike most of your prey so far … El Combatiente and I are both world champions. We are in the primes of our careers. And Soutter and Radu aren’t legends for nothing. I think you’ll find us harder targets to bring down. And I guess tonight is the first taste of that. Since I’m willing to wager dollars to donuts you won’t accept the loss and the beating you’re going to take tonight well … which is fine … Ask anyone from the tag division or MCCW … I will enjoy … on multiple levels … finding how many ways to choke you out and make you cry for your mother. I am the Main Attraction around these parts Armand … and I’m taking this road show right to the bastards trying to hijack SWAT."
*DT walks off towards the locker area no doubt looking for Javier or Radu.*
