Left With Questions

[Jay Phillips is standing outside of Fraust's dressing room.]

Jim "The Amp" Johnson: And we're going backstage right now with Jay Phillips who is hoping to get a word from Fraust following his defeat against NRWL Champion, Bruno Kowalski.

WarHead: Not the smartest idea, Jim, but I never did consider Jay an Einstein. 

Jay Phillips: Well guys, I'm standing here outside of Fraust's dressing room. I hear some kind of conversation behind the door but I can't make out who he is talking to. I knocked on the door just a moment ago but got no response. Guys, I don't know if I'm going to get this interview right now. Maybe we'll come back and--wait--

[The dressing room door opens and a man wearing old, faded jeans, and a black hoodie steps out. The man turns his head to Jay and casually pulls the hood from his head. It is Mark Blood.]

WarHead: Whoa! That's the last person I'd expect to see coming out of Fraust's dressing room.

[Jay looks at Mark Blood, confused.]

Jay Phillips: Mark Blood! What are you doing here?

Mark Blood: If you are here for an interview, I don't think he's interested in talking right now.

[Jay looks into the dressing room but only catches a glimpse of Fraust closing the door.]

Jay Phillips: I'm a little confused, Mark. Why are you here?

Mark Blood: Listen, I have to go.

[Mark pulls the hood back over his head.]

Mark Blood: See you around sometime.

[Mark Blood walks down the hall and out of a door into the parking lot.]

Jay Phillips: Sometime? Did he... Did he just walk out of the NRWL? What's going on? Guys.... back to you.

[A camera shows Jim and WarHead at the announce table.]

Jim "The Amp" Johnson: I'm not sure what we just saw. There's a lot of questions here. I just hope that we get answers.

WarHead: Strange, for sure. Something just happened between these two. From the way Mark Blood looked and talked, I think he's a goner.

Jim "The Amp" Johnson: I sure hope not. He's a great young talent who has put a lot of time and energy into the NRWL. Something doesn't feel right about this.

WarHead: Maybe Fraust could provide some answers but I wouldn't count on him being very forthcoming.

Jim "The Amp" Johnson: Perhaps we'll get that answer in Season Six.
