Phantam of the ring

[edwarddubin0604]

(Phantam Fairtex is having a photo session in the wrestling ring answering questions about the XHF Trios Championship Tournament as he performs various poses and the photographers switch positions.)

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "Do you think Team Fairtex and Psychotic Goth will be ready for the XHF Trios Championship."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Of course we're going to be ready to not just enter this tournament for those prestigious championships.  We're going to win those championships and bring them back home to where they belong and that's back to SWAT."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "You know The KGB is going to be entering the tournament."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Who?"

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "The KGB."

Photographer:  "Bring in the sports models."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Just like my days when I was modelling and I was surrounded by all those gorgeous chicks....."

(He sees his wife Kim and clears his throat.)

Phantam Fairtex:  "When I was in all those exotic locations and surrounded by those gorgeous sports models who left for home the following day after wrapping up that is."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "Right."

Phantam Fairtex:  "It's true."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "What do you think of your opponents in the opening round."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Who's our opening round opponents."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "You don't know who you're facing in the opening round."

(The tension mounts a bit but Phantam smiles and does a gotcha pose.)

Phantam Fairtex:  "Had you going there didn't I."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "So you do know."

Phamtam Fairtex:  "Of course I do.  We're facing Ronnie Long, Jay Stevens and Gordon Carlson in the first round."

Photographer:  "Let's see your rock star pose."

(Phantam poses like Elvis Presley.)

Phantam Fairtex:  "How's this baby."

Photographer:  "Love it Phantam."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Thanks baby."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "So what do you think of your opponents."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Let's see I respect both Jay Stevens and Ronnie Long who are excellent wrestlers and tough opponents to be in the ring with in any match."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "What about the third member of that team."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Oh yeah loudmouth Gordo is a passable wrestler too."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "You don't think highly of him."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Let's see where we can start.  Big mouth Gordy likes to run his mouth about how great he is and how his partners are this and that.   Oh and he likes to brag how they are going to win  and all the rest of that garbage as if he's already won.  Well little Gordo there's a lot of teams competing for those XHF Trios Championships and they would go perfectly around the waist of moi.  Well at least one of them would."

Photographer:  "How about another pose."

Phantam Fairtex:  "You got it man."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "Now you were saying about Gordon Carlson."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Now Gordon is such a prick to believe in his self deluded brain and oversized ego that he's going to win the XHF Trios Championship because he's big bad Gordon Carlson and his teammates are this and that.  Well let's look at the possibilities he will be facing if he gets past his opening round opponents.  He may have to face The KGB whom we know quite well from our numerous battles throughout the years.  Then they could get Team Fairtex and Psychotic Goth being we teamed up before against the KGB and were battle tested."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "Despite the fact that you were members of the KGB for awhile."

Phantam Fairtex: "Ancient history and we're over that part of our history.  Anyway, it's going to be an open field in this tournament and we intend to go along way."

SWAT Magazine Reporter:  "You know The Revenants are in it too."

Phantam Fairtex:  "We're going to really get revenge on those pieces of trash for defeating us in a tag team match a couple of shows ago.  Oh it's going to be satisfactory and oh so sweet."

(He cups his hands to his mouth and let's out a long loud whoop.)

Photographer:  "Oh that was a great pose Phantam."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Thanks.  Anyway, it's going to be a very tough first round but we plan on getting past the first round since our honor and the honor of SWAT is on the line and we don't plan on failing.  Will we Kim."

(She smiles mischievously as she folds her arms and slowly shakes her head in agreement.)

Phantam Fairtex:  "See even my wife agrees.  Yeah Gordo can talk all he wants and everyone can talk about who's going to win and brag about taking the championships home to their home feds no matter which overrated place they wrestle in.  Psychotic Goth and Team Fairtex are going to be the ones that will win and it's going to be a great honor for our fed SWAT.....Syndicate Wrestling And Tradition and our names will go up their with Hardkore World legends as Society of the New Breed despite them going the way of the dinosaurs.  However, we won't think ahead of ourselves  since the first round is the most important round in any tournament."

SWAT Magazine Reporter: "Well thank you for taking time out for this interview and good luck in your first round match."

Phantam Fairtex:  "It was an honor and I'm going to be the Phantam of the Ring."

(Phantam leaves the ring and is joined by his wife.)

Kim:  "Let's hope you keep your end of the deal."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Let's not talk about that since people will hear and be wondering if your running action."

Kim:  "Who's been talking and I'll deal with them."

Phantam Fairtex:  "Will you stop that and let us do the wrestling and let us decide the outcome."

Kim:  "As long as you keep your end of the deal."

Phantam Fairtex:  "We will."

Kim:  "Let's hope so."

(They leave as the scene slowly fades to black.)
