(Camera opens in the media room of the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. About 50 local and national media members are jammed into this room with a six foot table at the front and a WCF interview banner draped behind it. Five chairs with microphones are placed at the table for all of the superstars to discuss their upcoming matches at Rise Up to be held later this weekend.
A commotion stirs from the side of the room as Vic "The House" Vegas struts in with the Pit Boss not too far behind. Vic is looking back and forth between the table and the WCF Media Relations director who is helping guide him up to the stage. Vic nods and points to the middle chair and he has a seat.)
WCF Media Relations Director: Good afternoon everyone, kicking off our interview gala event will be one of our newest superstars, Mr. Vic Vegas and his manager The Pit Boss. I'll let Vic introduce himself and we'll open this up to any questions.
Vic Vegas: *Clears his throat and cracks his neck to get rid of some of the nerves* Uhh, yeah... I'm Vic Vegas, I know a couple of you asked for autographs on the way in, but let's keep this professional then afterwards one or two of you lucky ladies might get asked for a little after party.
(WCF Media Relations Director cringes at that last line. He gathers himself and points to the first reporter.)
Reporter #1: Hi, Musty Rhodes from the Gotham Times here. It's your first match in the WCF and immediately you're thrown into a fatal four-way with a couple of other up and coming superstars. How do you feel about that and do you think you'll (Musty gets a sly grin on his face as he pauses) "RISE" to the occasion?
(Musty gets a short laugh from the media.)
Vic Vegas: Wow... how long have you been holding that one in Musty? You couldn't even wait for the second or third guy to drop the "Rise to the occasion" line huh? What do you think Pit Boss...?
Pit Boss: ...
Vic Vegas: Yep, my thoughts exactly. Anyways, to answer your question Musty, I'm currently undefeated here in the WCF. It's hard to "Rise" when you're already at the top. Maybe if you lost a few pounds you might be able to "rise" for your old lady back at the house tonight.
(WCF Media Relations Director beings to sweat profusely. He wipes his forehead with a handkerchief and goes on to the next one.)
Reporter #2: Hi, Misty McPherson from the LGBT Chronicle of Philadelphia. Mr. Vegas, how do you feel about facing an openly gay giant in Menaki. Does this make you uncomfortable in any way or are you proud that he's breaking down barriers?
Vic Vegas: First of all, the gayer the better...
*Crowd gasps and goes completely silent*
Vic Vegas: What? Did I say something? I love gay giants! Pit Boss and I went to watch that Disney movie BFG the other day, I loved that big gay guy. Hell I might ask for a piggyback ride from Menaki during the match just to see the view from up there.
*Crowd still in shock. Pit Boss leans over and whispers to Vic*
Vic Vegas: You are a sick group you know that! I use the word gay to mean happy and here you all are thinking I'm referencing his preferences. Shame on all of you! I see what you did there Misty... trying to make me look bad in front of your people...
Misty: My people?
Vic: Yeah your... *Pit Boss covers Vic's mouth*
(WCF Media Relations Director passes out. The intern, standing by his side keeps her cool and points to the next reporter.)
Reporter #3: Hillbilly Bob from Gainesville, Georgia here. Our boy Lachlan Rhodes is makin his debit...
Vic Vegas: Debit? Bobby let me do you a solid, I know that edumacation system down yer way is mighty bad... it's "day - byoo"
Reporter #3: Uh, whatever. Lachlan Rhodes is gonna whip yer ass boy!
Vic Vegas: Billy Bob, I'm not quite sure that's the case. From what I can tell, I'm more likely to pop open a couple cold ones with Lachlan in the corner while Menaki and Timbers play My Little Pony. Damn that's a great idea, Pit Boss check with the arena and see if they can't set up some lawn chairs and a six pack of Bud Light outside of the ring for Lachlan. Philadelphia is going to seem like a foreign land to that kid and I want to bring him a piece of home. And maybe a rebel flag or a "The South Will Rise Again" banner? Yeah that would be nice.
Reporter #4: Tubby Blanchard from the Montreal News. How do you feel about our fellow Canadian and also first timer Jack Timbers eh?
Vic Vegas: Yes!! I love it! Bucket list item... check! Oh man, I've always wanted to hear a Canadian say "Eh." Like you hear about it and they do it in movies, but you aren't really sure if they do it in real life... oh man, you sir are a legend.
Reporter #4: I asked a question...
Vic Vegas: Oh right, Jack Timbers the Canadian lumberjack... eh. *Cracks himself up.* Ok ok, listen I don't know much on this guy, however (Vic puts on his best Game Show commentator voice) we asked 100 fans earlier today, who they thought would win this match... top answer is on the board... show me JACK TIMBERS... survey says..... "BBWWWWAAAAHHHHH" Oh! Sorry there my friend, doesn't look like Jack stands a chance this weekend. Nor does he make me "Shiver me timbers!" Nailed it!
(Vic high fives The Pit Boss. The entire room is stunned by Vic's show. By this point, the WCF Media Relations Director has come to his senses and waves off any further question.)
Vic Vegas: Whoa whoa whoa! I'm not done here. You've all asked about my opponents, but nobody has asked about Vic. While I've been up here, I've been thinking to myself... "Self! Why do these people not ask about the House?" And I know the answer people, you see the future here, you know that I'm going to be around for quite some time, so you want to savor the glory. You want to savor the style, the elegance, the glory that is Vic "The House" Vegas. Come this weekend, with the Pit Boss roaming the ring to make sure there is no funny business, you'll get to witness the start of the legacy, the start of the never-ending win streak because as I said earlier this week as those idiots at the Wells Fargo arena refused to give me entry... The House...Always...Wins!
(Vic stands up, straightens out his collar and his suit jacket. Pit Boss wipes off his shoulders and they both start to walk off stage. At the last chair just before the steps, Vic catches his foot and almost tumbles. The reporters chuckle and Vic in a short fit of rage chucks the chair against the wall, straightens his jacket again and exits.)
