Who is the greatest interviewer in XHF history? Funaki? Probably. Samantha Todd? Clearly not. No one could be for certain. It does, though, take a man with some serious balls to interview a bear. We couldn’t find one, though. So for this following interview we had to settle for Nelly Angel.
We open up in a backstage hallway on interviewer extraordinaire Nelly Angel. He stands there with a smile on his face, his heart full of excitement when he gets the cue to start.
“Welcome to the XHF Network. I am Nelly Angel and on the day of Supremacy I am here today with a surprise guest.”
Nelly looks off camera as his guest approaches. The color in Nelly’s face disappears and he gulps.
“My surprise guest is Goldbear II and Venom.”
Venom walks on camera with Goldbear II right behind him.
“Yo Nelly. So happy to see you. You’ve gotten pale since the last time I’ve seen you. You need to get some sun man.”
Venom says as he sets up Goldbear II next to Nelly in position to be interviewed. Nelly begins to shakes as he looks at the razor sharp claws of an actual bear standing next to him in wrestling gear.
“Uh.”
Nelly lets out and Venom turns and stands on the opposite side of Goldbear II.
“Come On Nelly. I know you’ve got questions.”
“Uh, well, what...”
Nelly is cut off by the sound of an iPhone ringing.
“Oh man, I’m so sorry Nelly. It’s James I’ve gotta take this.”
Venom walks off camera to talk leaving Nelly standing next to a live bear. Nelly looks like someone who has never been next to an animal who could kill him on a whim before. You know the look. The one people make when they’re so scared they are about to shit themselves. Nelly looks off camera in the direction that Venom went waiting. Soon his gaze drifts and he locks eyes with Goldbear II who is staring at him with a little bit of drool pooling up in the corner of his mouth. Nelly jumps back a half a step and grabs at his chest. Venom walks back on screen.
“So sorry about that. James just doesn’t understand how important it is that Goldbear II prepares for this match and gets his way in this. It’s not like it is so intimidating having a bear in the match that everyone is talking about him. He has to make his presence known. So where were we.”
Venom smiles as he looks back at Nelly who looks a mix of shocked and befuddled at the same time. He quickly spits out words.
“How is Goldbear going to win this match?”
Goldbear II quickly answers with a mighty roar.
“Well first, he says it’s Goldbear II, get it right or he’ll rip your throat out.”
Venom laughs as Nelly somehow gets more pale and grabs at his throat with his hand.
“I kid. He said the Guns are going to win because simply put, they’re the superior team. They have the skill and experience the others in this match either don’t have or lost to booze some time ago. He’s not just talking about Crow either. He says those Trons have been hitting the hyper beer so hard they’re even crazier than they used to be.”
“Wait, I was asking about Goldbear’s match. Why are you talking about your match?”
Nelly says with some of the color coming back as he gets comfortable back in his role.
“I’m just here to translate. If he wants to use his time promoting the Guns rather than himself that just shows what a team player he is and I’m not gonna stop him.”
Nelly looks annoyed by Venom’s response. He knows this isn’t about Goldbear and he eases more back into his role, maybe forgetting he’s standing next to a live bear.
“That sounds like you’re using Goldbear to spread propaganda.”
“Excuse me Nelly? Are you accusing me of something?”
Venom says puffing out his chest towards the interviewer.
“I saved this man-bear from a life if solidarity. It’s not my fault he feels so grateful that he is willing to use his time to promote James and I. If you would do your job and learn to speak bear I wouldn’t event need to be here. You think Goldy likes me here with him all the time so he can speak? He doesn’t. He would like his independence you know.”
Nelly can smell the bullshit, but he lets it pass and continues.
“Since we’re clearly not here to talk about the X*Crown match. Tell me, how are you going to beat a team that has all the momentum from beating three other teams after sitting and watching for the entire time.”
“Nelly, this isn’t about me. This is about Goldbear II.”
He says patting his large fury friend on the back.
“Now do your job and ask my bear friend a question.”
Nelly rolls his eyes.
“Who is he most looking forward to beating in his match?”
Goldbear II grunts and puffs air out through his nose.
“The Guns will win that match despite the other team having the momentum because momentum doesn’t matter when you’re that much better than the competition. No one in the tag division is on the same level as the Guns, hell, they’re not even playing the same game. These teams have no shot at beating the Guns.”
“Are you serious?”
Goldbear lets out a soft roar.
“He says he’s as serious as a heart attack. He knows in his heart-of-hearts that no one can touch the Guns. They may be big fish in their respective small ponds but the Guns are bears here to eat the fish, and eat them they will.”
“No, that’s not what I mean. I mean you’re seriously going to answer the question I asked you and pretend like this bear said it?”
Nelly turns to point at Goldbear II and find Goldbear II again staring back at him. Nelly jumps back as Venom responds.
“I’m telling you what he said. If you’ve got a problem with that...”
The sound of a ringing iPhone is again heard. Venom holds up his hand and pulls out his phone.
“I’m not done with you. I’ll be back.
Venom walks off camera to answer the phone and Nelly is shaking his head at the disrespect. Goldbear II begins to match be closer to Nelly, who is now about three feet away after the jumps backwards and Nelly doesn’t notice as he watches Venom off screen. Nelly turns his attention back to Goldbear II and they are eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose. Nelly begins to shake and he turns and runs off camera as Venom returns.
“You’re gonna run away from your job? How ridiculous.”
He says as we close to black.
You all don’t understand.
You think I’m playing around.
You think this is a game.
This isn’t a game, and if it was I’d be winning because not a single one of you can see what I’m doing. You’re all under my spell. You all think you know what’s going on, but you only see what I show you. You’re missing the actual trick. The one where I continue to remain in top of the game in spite of not having the backing of a giant federation. The one where I continue to be everyone’s favorite even though I’ve been out of the limelight for years. The one where I am still the best in the world without even appearing to try.
It’s not a game, but you all keep playing, an I’ll just keep winning.
