(Nathaniel and Brittany are at their home in Reno, Nevada. They are on the right side of the screen and Grace is on the left side.)
Grace: Hi Nathaniel and Brittany. Thank you for joining me tonight.
Brittany: Why thank you.
Grace: Nathaniel came up short in his match on the last Free For All....
Nathaniel: Hold it there.
Grace: Yes?
Nathaniel: I didn't come up short. CAGE is the one who came up short. I had that match won and that WASHED UP HAS BEEN tapped out.....to JESTER of all people. (rolls his eyes) How could he tap out to JESTER?!
Brittany: Oh, I know! What a horrendous way to end the match. This is Cage? This is this great legend and hall of famer who has "done it all" in the wrestling world? He tapped out to JESTER?!
(Brittany giggles)
Nathaniel: I don't think it's funny. He cost me the fucking match. I was on my way to winning that match and he blew it. (to Grace) So don't you say I came up short.
Grace (slightly offended): Sorry.
Brittany: Don't take it personally. He's in a bad mood.
Nathaniel: I could have again proven myself as THE number one contender and that mother fucker blew it! That was MY match to win. He had no business being in this match in the first place. His time has come and gone.
Brittany (sarcastically): But he's a legend. He's one of the greatest of all time!
Nathaniel: I don't care what he did ten years ago.
Brittany: He did beat TCE.
Nathaniel: That's another guy who was big ten years ago. I'm talking about now. This is MY time and he ROBBED me of my moment.
Grace: You still have the opportunity for a world championship match as fans will be voting....
Nathaniel: Fuck the voting. You know the fans aren't gonna vote for me cause I don't kiss their asses like some of these other people do. I should still be number one contender. There's no reason for me not to be. My shoulders were not pinned to the mat in either that match nor my championship match with Devin Bishop. So did I really lose? NO!
Brittany: Nathaniel does have a point, Grace, does he not?
Grace: Well, it is a fact that his shoulders were not pinned to the mat.
Nathaniel: You wanna talk to someone who had his shoulders pinned to the mat by Bishop? Go talk to CJ Walker. He's good at that.
Grace: CJ has had some words for you as of late.
Brittany: Oh we've heard what he's been saying about Nathaniel. We've heard it loud and clear.
Grace: Any comment Nathaniel?
Nathaniel: This is a guy who had how many chances at the world title against Bishop and he failed just about every time. This guy had a brief run on top. Who'd he beat for the title? Bryan Black?
Grace: I believe so.
(Nathaniel finally has a grin on his face)
Nathaniel: Who hasn't beat Bryan Black?
(Brittany giggles)
Nathaniel: This CJ guy is a real trip. How many times has this guy failed? Seriously. He's got no room to talk. He had his chance on numerous occasions. CJ.....you've had your 15 minutes of fame. Go do yourself a favor and find a tag team partner and go after the tag straps or go fight over the Boyd Gaming Championship with Jumbo Robinson. Let the elite competitors of UPW fight over the World Championship.
Grace: So you respect Devin Bishop?
Nathaniel: What do you think?
Grace: Seems like it.
Nathaniel: Do I like Bishop? No. Can I work with the man for one night? Yeah. I'll work side-by-side with Bishop against our opponents.
Grace: Any thoughts on your opponents?
Nathaniel: There's Cage, who we already addressed. And then there's Jester. (rolls his eyes) This guy doesn't know when to shut up. And then there is Pixi. (shakes his head)
Brittany: I wonder if Pixi will have Larry in her corner?
Nathaniel: Who cares?! Makes no difference. Bishop and I will crush 'em. CJ would be better off just staying out of our way and letting us handle it.
Grace: Did you hear Bishop's threat?
Nathaniel: What?
Grace: He said you're gonna be on the winning team....as long as you keep your ego in check.
Brittany: And if he doesn't?
Grace: He said the Black Hand will make sure you have an uncomfortable weekend.
Nathaniel: Ooooooh.....he's gonna sic the Black Hand on me if I get outta line? Oh boy! I'm so afraid! You know what Bishop? You take care of business on your end and I'll take care of business on my end. You don't have to worry about me, champ. You just keep your old buddy CJ in line and I'm sure we'll get through this just fine.
Grace: Any other comments?
Nathaniel: Nope.
Grace: Thank you both for your time.
