View From The Top

*Jay Phillips is backstage at a dressing room door that is painted gold. He knocks and the door suddenly opens quickly and Slam Jackson is standing there with a large smile on his face.

Slam Jackson: Jason!!!!! So good to see you! What a surprise! What brings you by my dressing room?

Jay Phillips: Umm... We had a scheduled interview. Don't you remember?

*Slam stands and thinks for a moment and then nods his head.*


SJ: Yes, that's right. I completely forgot. It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks, Jason. Where do I begin? How about... Mark Blood. You know, here's a guy who I thought was a real stand up guy. He was intense and maybe a little too serious for my tastes, but hey, his heart was in the right place. I liked him. But then, he hit me with a bottle of bubbly! That, my interviewing friend, is alcohol abuse. More importantly, that's a shot at the entire Slamnation and they won't stand for it! Am I right?! Let me hear you!!!

*A deafening roar of cheers is heard in the dressing room behind the golden door. Jay tries to peek behind Slam.*


JP: Is... How? How many people do you have in there?

SJ: Jason, the Slamnation is millions strong and they've always got my back. But for now, we need to let Mark Blood go because there's something more important to deal with. My title defense tonight against Johnny Young! Now Johnny's been around a while and in a time long ago, he held a predecessor to the belt I now possess. It sounds like he's looking to recapture that magic. I'd love to help him, I really would  but now isn't the time. If he took his shot with a different champion, maybe he'd have a chance. He can't beat Slam Jackson, though. For the first time in NRWL, and in all of wrestling history, the championship is held by millions of people! One man can't stop the Slamnation!!!

*The deafening roar picks up again.*


SJ: Yeah!!! Now how can you beat that, Johnny Young?!? I'll see you in the ring tonight!

*Slam turns out and runs back into the dressing room. As the door is closing, you can hear cheering and Slam yelling to someone.*


SJ: Let's start the Jello wrestling!!!

*Jay stands there looking at the door.*


JP: Jello wrestling? How do I get invited to these parties?
