(Cliff Ragsdale is seated behind his desk. Dillian DeHaven and Mark Murphy are seated in front of his desk. Ragsdale's chair is positioned higher over their chairs so he towers over them.)
Ragsdale: Excellent job on the last Free For All. I would suggest that you both keep up the good work.
(Ragsdale has a somewhat threatening look on his face.)
Murphy: Oh yeah. We will.
(DeHaven smugly nods)
Ragsdale: You're both back in singles action next week. DeHaven, you will be in a non-title triple threat match against Rain Blackhart and Maddox.
(DeHaven chuckles)
Ragsdale: Do you think that's funny?
DeHaven (with a sudden straight face): No sir.
Ragsdale: This is a golden opportunty for you to become number one contender to the Sin City Championship that you UNFAIRLY lost at an UNSANCTIONED show. It's so preposterous that our UPW management team agreed to allow the title to change hands, despite the match taking place in a foreign country under another promotion's jurisdiction. It was so unfair and also unfair that you must compete in a non-title match. You can win this match, Dillian, and you will not walk out as the Sin City Champion. That is preposterous.
(DeHaven nods)
Ragsdale: In any event, whether the title is on the line or not, this is your match to win. You've heard the trash that Rain has been talking since he won the title, right?
DeHaven: Of course.
Ragsdale: I want you to show him and Terrance Christopher exactly why you are the greatest Sin City Champion of all-time. You heard the trash that Maddox was talking as well, right?
DeHaven: Absolutely.
Ragsdale: I want you to make him eat his words. He seems to have a problem with me. And he seems to think it's funny that you lost your gold on an "international stage". This guy has earned a beating and I'm sure you'll be more than happy to deliver it to him. Right?
(DeHaven nods and has a look on his face that can burn through lead.)
Ragsdale: It's about time that somebody shut this guy up. By the way, he seems to have a problem with us bringing up his loss to Riley Walker, a guy whose name he's so ashamed to bring up that he won't even mention it anymore.
(Ragsdale smiles and shakes his head.)
Murphy: But he lost to him in a in a BOXING MATCH! HA HA HA HA HA!
Ragsdale: Oh, thank you for reminding me of that. I feel so enlightened now that you reminded me that it was a boxing match. I am very sorry Maddox for bringing up your Sin City Championship LOSS to Riley Walker in that boxing match. Please accept my sincere apologies.
(Murphy laughs)
Ragsdale: Did I say something funny?
Murphy: No sir.
Ragsdale: Why are you laughing?
Murphy: Uh, I was thinking about Joe Nobody.
Ragsdale: Joe Nobody? What's he got to do with anything?
Murphy: He wants to fight the winner between me and Jumbo Robinson for the Boyd Gaming Championship.
(Ragsdale sighs)
Ragsdale: Is this guy the CJ Walker of the Boyd Gaming division? He couldn't beat the champ and then he's pestering the current champ as well as the future champ for a shot when he hasn't earned it?
Murphy: He challenged the winner to a match....
(Ragsdale gestures dismissively.)
Ragsdale: Who is this guy to be booking his own matches anyway? I'm gonna file a complaint with the league office against this guy. He's new and he doesn't deserve ANY title match.
Murphy (in a mocking tone): Joe Nobody.
Ragsdale: He lives up to his name. I want you to focus on Jumbo Robinson. He should have NEVER won that belt to begin with. You need to go in there and do what needs to be done. I want no excuses. I want that belt hanging on my wall next week. Understood?
Murphy: I'll do whatever it take to win, sir.
Ragsdale: I know you will. Don't let me down
(Murphy nods as the screen fades to black.)
