Two Types of Wise Guys

[Jay Phillips is in the interview area with Hardcore Adam]

Jay: It's my pleasure to have Hardcore Adam, joining me once again.

Adam: Good to see you again Jay, I could get used to these interviews. Maybe I'll see you next week too!

[Jay chuckles]

Jay: Perhaps. But before we get ahead of ourselves, I want to ask you about last week. You teamed with Tornado and suffered a defeat against The 4 Elements. How do you plan to bounce back from that loss?

Adam: Losing your first match to start a new season is never ideal. But I've been around the ring long enough, I know how to clear my head, and focus on the next match.

Jay: Your next matches can be very crucial.

Adam: Exactly. It's a fact, if I want to face Bruno Kowalski, or whoever may be NRWL champion, I'm going to have to step my game up, and make sure-

[Hardcore Adam trails off and looks off camera. Franco Mancini steps into view and goes face to face with Adam]

Franco: Am I hearing right? You're thinkin' you still have a chance at NRWL Championship? Look it, I don't want to hurt your feelings or nothin', but...it's not happening! This business is all about what have you done for me lately. You're nothin' but a novelty act. You're living off your past! So why not just retire and quit embarrassing yourself?

Adam: I know who you are. And I don't mean your name. You're one of these young guns that comes in, claims they're the best, fight a few matches, then disappear forever. I've seen too many people like you to keep count. So if you want to talk about embarrassing yourself, just keep talking. You'll probably be gone in the next month anyway.

Franco: That's where you're wrong, Adam. You lost a tag match. A match you were in the ring for a grand total of 20 seconds! Me? I wrestled two matches last show, and won both! And you know what I think I'm going to do? I think I'll wrestle another match...against you. I'll move a bit closer to getting gold, and you'll be movin' to a nursing home!

[Franco Mancini laughs and walks off. Hardcore Adam turns his attention back to Jay Phillips]

Adam: Jay, I'll end the interview with this: I'm looking forward to this “bounce back” match.

[Hardcore Adam walks off]

Jay: Ladies and gentlemen, that was Hardcore Adam.
