Victory!

[Jay Phillips is in the interview area.]

Jay:  Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, Travis 22.

[Travis 22 steps into the scene]

Jay:  Travis, I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on your loss to Tiger--

Travis 22:  Whoa whoa whoa there, Jay!  Loss?  What loss?

Jay:  Your….loss to Tiger Johnson.

Travis 22:  You might want to re-watch that match, Jay.  I didn’t lose!

Jay:  Y…..yes you did.  You got pinned for a 3 count.

Travis 22:  Oh.  NOW I see where your disconnect is.  You’re one of THOSE people who think an entire match is summarized in 3 seconds.  Well, you couldn’t be more wrong, Jay.  Watch the entire match.  I was phenomenal.  I completely dominated.  I owned that old hack with techniques that are far better than anyone else on the planet!  Re-watch the match, Jay.  You’ll see how freakin’ incredible I was.  Then, come back and tell me if old man Johnson laying on me for 3 seconds is better than the extraordinary match I put on.

Jay:  Well, the win/loss record is kind of important…

Travis 22:  The win/loss record is just stats, and as we all know, stats can be manipulated to say anything.  The fans would really be bored if matches were just three-second contests.  Look at the whole picture, Jay.  I entertained everyone out of their seats that match!  I was pulling double-duty because I had to pick up all the slack that old Tiger was putting down with his snooze-inducing style!  And if you ask me, that makes ME the real winner here.

Jay:  Uh, ok, I guess.  So what’s next for you?

Travis 22:  There’s this cat who keeps calling himself the “fans’ favorite wrestler.”  Well, Ash.  I am calling you out on that, sir!  You might have been the fans’ favorite...until now!  That is a title that now belongs to me!  People love winners, and I am not only a winner, but I’m also undefeated!  So let’s do this Ash!  Let’s give the fans’ their welfare checks’ worth!  Yeah!

[Travis 22 walks off camera smiling.]

Jay:  Uh…interesting.  Well then, Travis 22 and Ash at the next show!  Should be a good one, folks!
