:: The roaming AWA camera which always seems to be in the right place at the right time is broadcasting from backstage at the Albany arena. The camera rounds a corner and comes up on “The Hardcore Icon” Ripper. Ripper is deep in conversation with his long standing and long suffering personal assistant, Scorpion:. ::
Ripper: “I don't understand — Salvador Dali had distinctive penmanship?”
Scorpion:: “Yes.”
Ripper: “How was it distinctive?”
Scorpion:: “Well, for one thing, he wrote in Spanish.”
Ripper: “He was Spanish.”
Scorpion:: “Which would account for his distinctive penmanship.”
:: From behind the camera the Cameraman interrupts this riveting conversation::
Cameraman: “Excuse me, am I interrupting something important?”
Ripper: “I can't begin to tell you how you're not. Is it time for the walking interview thing yeah?”
Cameraman: “Yeah. I mean I can come back later if you’d like....”
Ripper: “Please. No.”
:: Ripper quickly checks his watch and then nods to Scorpion as the two begin to walk with the camera seemingly ignoring the conversation they had just been having::
Ripper: It feels good to be back.
Scorpion: “You’ve been back for two weeks, only showed up for one promo and one match and you lost that match.”
Ripper: “There was a match?”
Scorpion: “Yeah. You got beaten up pretty bad.[/b]
Ripper: “I don’t recall.”
Scorpion: “That happens a lot sir doesn’t it?”
Ripper: “Not as much as you’d thing.”
Scorpion: “You mean think.”
Ripper: “What did I say?”
Scorpion: “Thing.”
Ripper: “You must be mistaken. I never do that.”
::Scorpion sighs and lowers his head shaking it, resigned to his fate of never being believed. ::
Ripper: “Anyway it now occurs to me that I have a match at this eighties night. Am I right?”
Scorpion: “Yeah.”
Ripper:”Hmm you will have to research this “Eighties” Scorpion. There are however, more pressing issues to deal with in the form of a qualifying match for the elimination chamber. Although seeing as I easily breezed through Marcus Cooper...”
Scorpion: “He knocked you out and then left you lying in the ring.”
Ripper: “Was it a win for him or me?”
Scorpion: “Well...you.”
Ripper: “And that’s all the matters. Now I know nothing about these other two in the match but what I do know is that they are nowhere as important as me. Because I’m Ripper....”
Scorpion: “Sir! Before you finish that sentence I have to tell you that we received a cease and desist order. You have to stop stealing other people’s catchphrases.”
:: Ripper looks taken a back as he pulls his head down from stealing a well known catchphrase.::
Ripper:”Really?
:: Scorpion nods as Ripper takes the letter from him and quickly skims over it. ::
Ripper: “Well damn. Oh well all that really matters is that Gavin Drake and Brian Shelby are going to learn why I’m a hall of famer, a former world champion, the hardcore legend and one of the most charismatic superstars in the history of the AWA.
:: Ripper smiles and looks towards the camera. The camera stays like that for a while before Ripper makes the “shoo” hand gesture and the camera fades to black as the cameraman turns away from Ripper and his assistant.
