(Eddie D is in the same sound studio complex where Paul “Mad Dog” Souter just had a podcast with Kyle Callaghan. Eddie had been promoting his night club The Double D club on local radio. Eddie and Kyle bump into each other in the communal breakout coffee area.)
EDDIE: Hey there, it’s Kyle Calhoun right?
Kyle Callaghan: Hi Eddie? You were close; Kyle Callaghan, nice to finally meet you. What you doing here?
EDDIE: Put a pin in that, I got a beef with you.
Kyle Callaghan: Hell Eddie… I just finished a pretty boisterous podcast with your buddy Souter, I haven’t got the energy for any heartache from you Champ.
EDDIE: You see that’s exactly my beef. I am the Champ. Where's my interview? I am getting lead around by the nose like a prize bull. I am the SWAT World Heavyweight Champion, but I haven’t been able to celebrate and do a victory parade style promo ‘cause everything else is taking priority. I didn’t get to hold this title by dutifully waiting in line. You’ll be surprised to hear that I don’t have a great line in patience or being told what to do.
Kyle Callaghan: What can I do about any of that?
EDDIE: You interviewed Paul about the Trio Tag Event in Canada… Why can’t you interview me?
Kyle Callaghan: Eddie, Of course I’m familiar with your work, and congrats by the way on the title and everything, but you’ll be surprised to hear that I do actually try to prepare for an interview… I have nothing prepared for Eddie D that I could just drag out of my arse with no warning.
EDDIE: Your show just sounds like natural chatter between two guys to me…
Kyle Callaghan: You probably didn’t mean to, but that’s actually a huge compliment in my world… That's what I hope listeners think at home... You know what? If you’re happy to have the same questions I threw at Paul, let’s just go for it. If it’s a car crash I can edit the hell out of it and you can chuck it on your website or something. Getting the domain name “MainEventEddie.com” was great by the way. You do that merchandise stuff real well.
EDDIE: Thanks, shall we get this on the road?
(Kyle Callaghan leads Eddie into his studio and, slightly tired as he is; he stifles a yawn and pushes himself to get back into Podcast mode again.)
Kyle Callaghan: Yo yo yo! I’m DJ Kyle Callaghan and you’re tuned into the Wrestle Radio podcast. Tonight I’m joined by the SWAT World Champion. The KGB Enforcer. THE Big Deal. Main Event Eddie himself, Eddie D ladies and gentlemen… Thanks for joining me today.
EDDIE: It’s a pleasure Kyle. Does this podcast go out to Canada?
Kyle Callaghan : Well, yeah. It goes to the whole internet and they do have that in Canada. Did you hear the Paul Soutter Podcast, ‘cause he asked the exact same question…
EDDIE: Great minds think alike. We both spent most of our lives doing radio plugs for our shows in the territories. Back in the day that was mass social media broadcasting as far as we were concerned. It wasn’t always a given that the radio station covered the town you were fighting in that night. I don’t fear technology, I like Podcasts, but some of the details are a bit nerdy and have passed me by.
Kyle Callaghan: So, you are headed to Canada to represent the KGB with Armand von Krauss and Paul Soutter in the XHF Trios qualifying matches.
EDDIE : Yep. Unlike Call To Arms, there will be a few more rules we can bend and a bit more structure and a very human, fallible, manipulate-able, very easily distracted referee that may play into our definition of “team work”. The belts will be leaving Canada and heading back to KGB HQ. SWAT is the place to be right now, even the belts know it and they're practically jumping into our hands. It’s a done deal.
Kyle Callaghan : Are you sure you didn’t hear Paul’s Podcast, your answers seem so alike… Well, I’ll say what I said to him… There is a lot of competition in the way of that belt leaving on the KGB tour bus.
EDDIE: Yes and no. Goth may well want a piece of me after taking the World strap from him, but the queue is endless on who doesn’t like Eddie D and who wants the gold. I would love to brush off my tag credentials after getting beat in the Anzac Cup so early. With Trent Jones the year before we beat the SWAT World Tag Champions at the time, but it was the Anzac Cup and the belts don’t change hands in tournament stages like that. I won countless tag titles in the EIWF, ICW, IWA etc. Winning tag gold was how I paid the bills, put food on the table and look at me… Does it look like I ever missed a meal…?
(Kyle Callaghan gulps and considers whether to risk insulting this huge wrestler. Eddie gives him a wink as if daring him to be smart…)
Kyle Callaghan: When you put it like that… I think you’ve been well fed and watered by your career in wrestling no doubt… Do Donzig, Freakke and Takura hold any worries for you in this tournament?
EDDIE: Well no. Not really; no.
(Kyle Callaghan gestures that he would like a slightly longer answer)
EDDIE: Oh you want more? OK. Well I’d like to get my hands on The Revenants, I’d like to get my hands on Team Fairfax, but they’ve all got one thing in common. They ain’t KGB baby and that means they are second best.
They ain’t got the anarchy of THE Big Deal Eddie D!
They ain’t got “der Hoden” of the brains of the outfit Armand Freakin von Krauss!
And The Big Bad Bustling Bandit! Mad Dog Paul Soutter will eat these punks for breakfast!
The Kross Global Fucking Bandits!
We set the standard!
We will do anything to win. ANYTHING!
Kyle Callaghan: Are you joking with me? This has to be scripted... you gave pretty much the same answer as Paul again. (Kyle Callaghan looks back through his notes he scribbled down as he interviewed Paul Soutter, convinced that he’s being pranked or punk'd in some way.) Do you have anything to say about Donzig and having “something special lined up for him”?
EDDIE: No. Like I said before we started, it’s the planning that I am sometimes left out of backstage in the KGB dressing room. “Lead like a prize bull” I think I said. They love the unpredictability, the muscle and brutality that I bring to the stable, but even with the gold on my shoulder they don’t always include me on that planning stuff. I have been in stables most of my career so I know a thing or three about being in a dominant stable…
Kyle Callaghan: Why would you always be in stables? Some people… not me… may think that a stable is like a heavyweight boxer having a bodyguard. Not being happy to manage trouble themselves looks less confident or more faint-hearted…
EDDIE: Hey! A stable isn’t a place to hide it’s a place to excel, without having to rub hands with every jobber wannabe on the roster. Being a bit exclusive with your company and keeping the run-ins and back stabbings of others from slowing up your career progression seems eminently good sense to me. I guess stables suit me ‘cause I am naturally a team player and the best in the business tend to gravitate towards me. For protection maybe, for friendship of a true peer perhaps; someone they can relate to and know that their back will be covered for definite? Sometimes the business is ugly and having a talented brute on your team can be… helpful.
Kyle Callaghan: You mentioned old Feds of your past, you have fought in XHF open challenge events and SWAT is now your home. Why head over to NPW now?
EDDIE: I go where the gold is on offer. The belts, the bucks and the limelight all attract me to NPW. I am loyal to SWAT, but we’re Bandits and if this 7/11 of a Fed is primed to be held-up… well I look great in a balaclava and wield a baseball bat like no one else. Got talent, will travel. When the Bandits are in town, shit gets REAL!
Kyle Callaghan: Again with the same words as Soutter?! I think I’m over tired or you’re having me on…
EDDIE: We want them Trios Titles. And what we want, we GET! So get ready NPW! XHF!
Strap yourselves in and buckle up for the ride of your life ‘cause the Bandits are about to steam roll thru this place like a goddamn freight train!
Kyle Callaghan : You really are punking me aren’t you…?
EDDIE: (Eddie smiles knowingly at Kyle Callaghan and laughs heartily) GOT YA!!!
Kyle Callaghan: (Kyle looks at Eddie and breaks out laughing) You SOB. Why the hell are you punking me?
EDDIE: Paul thought it would be a hoot. To be honest you had me made almost from the outset, but you persevered God love ya. You soldiered on. I’ve been wired up and I can hear Soutter killing himself laughing in my earpiece as you get more and more freaked out… He’s just next door in the next studio. Incidentally… If you had got to your last question, about why we chose this KGB team, I have my own answer. Paul got picked ‘cause he’s The Founder and there’s no one you’d rather have in your corner. I got picked ‘cause I AM THE CHAMP! Armand got picked because he’s smart and…. Armand does the picking, so that probably gave him a leg up. (Eddie laughs and Kyle Callaghan laughs cautiously along with him.)
The bottom line is that there’s nothing to fear from anyone in XHF, NPW or anywhere else; full stop, period, end of story.
Every dog has his day Kyle. We can beat anyone on our day and the "Mad Dog" and his best buddies are about to have their day.
NPW?!
BRING IT ON!!!
(Eddie laughs and slaps Kyle Callaghan on the shoulder and nearly unseats him with what was meant as a casual good-humoured tap. Eddie and Kyle can hear Paul laughing outside in the communal area and Kyle just drops his headphones and accuses his studio assistant of being in on the joke, but he pleads innocence. Eddie leaves the studio with a wink and smile and joins Paul Soutter outside. The scene fades to black)
EDDIE: Hey there, it’s Kyle Calhoun right?
Kyle Callaghan: Hi Eddie? You were close; Kyle Callaghan, nice to finally meet you. What you doing here?
