{{The scene fades in
from the fuzz on your screen.
Immediately a door opens up and you see that you're inside a limo.
Now that the door is open, the bright light
from the outside filters in. Suddenly, you can hear flashbulbs
popping, over and over.
Then, you see Skarrphace get out of the limo, dressed in a black
tuxedo. He's got a pair of sunglasses on.
You follow him out and you see above you a sign that says "MGM-Grand:
Home of the 2000 Espy Awards".
You then realize that's where you are as the limo pulls off and
Skarrphace begins walking up the aisle.
The papparazzi are flashing their cameras, trying to get a good
picture of the wrestling icon.
There is a legion of reporters at one end, and Skarrphace must be
feeling gracious, because he approaches them.
He puts both hands up to speak, but then you realize he only
wants to calm the crowd down.
Then one of the reporters gets bold and speaks up.}}
Reporter
#1: Mr.
Skarrphace, welcome to the 2000 Espy Awards...are you going to be
making any presentations tonight?
Skarrphace: Thank you, but no. I'm here as a guest
of some of my friends from the Los Angeles Lakers. I'm here only
to enjoy a good night.
Reporter
#2: It's been
rumored that your return to the wrestling ring is set for this
Wednesday night as you make your debut in the UwF against Jason
Chandler. Do you have anything to say to Mr. Chandler?
Skarrphace: Do I have anything to say? Well, of
course, the 'Phace is never at a loss for words when it comes to
his opponents. Now, while the 'Phace knows precious little about
this man who calls himself "NC-17", the 'Phace is aware
of him. The management in the UwF have decided to give Skarrphace
an opportunity at winning the Universal Title....as our match on
Wednesday night is a first round match in the Universal Title
Tournament. Now, the 'Phace thrives on such an atmosphere. It is
this "win or go home" mentality that makes it possible
for me to train as hard as I do....to stay in top physical
condition and stay on top of my game mentally. It is also not
lost on the 'Phace that the UwF front office has seen it clear
that I may advance in the Universal Title Tournament. How, you
might ask, did they do that? They know my capabilities....they
know what my potential is. I have been quiet for a while, and for
good reason. It was once said by a proud man that you must clean
up your own backyard before you go knockin' on your neighbor's
door. Now that I have prepared myself the only way I know how...the
time has come to make my in-ring return on Wednesday night. What
a night it will be as the 'Phace will march on in the Universal
Title Tournament with a spectacular defeat of Jason Chandler...
Reporter
#3: You
certainly seem confident, Skarrphace. What makes you so certain
of your win?
Skarrphace: The simple fact that Chandler doesn't
stand a chance against me. Listen, I've been in this business
long enough to know when the 'Phace is being challenged. This man....the
one that calls himself NC-17....he is NOT a challenge to the 'Phace.
He cannot possibly understand what I've gone through to shape my
body and my mind to win. At all costs. I win because it's born
inside me. It thrives inside this mind, this body. It's a perfect
machine. And when Wednesday night rolls around, and the time has
come to set aside all the feelings of doubt and remorse, I will
step into the arena. The place will be energized beyond belief. I
will walk down to the ring and the crowd will know that this is
the moment they have waited for....this is the defining moment in
the history of the UwA, because right now, in this very moment,
the greatest living force to ever walk the face of the earth is
standing in their midst...and Chandler will know....and when my
hand is raised in victory and I advance on to win the Universal
Tournament and hold the title above my head....the entire world
will again be made aware of the fact that I, that Skarrphace, is
THE ONLY 1 THAT MATTERS....
Reporter
#4: Mr.
Skarrphace, if we could get just a few more snapshots...
Skarrphace: Sorry gentlemen, my generosity has just
ran out...and so has your time with the 'Phace....now if you'll
excuse me, I believe my 3rd row seat inside is waiting for me....excuse
me? *grinning*
{{More flashbulbs go
off in a row as Skarrphace waves to the crowd of reporters.
Some of the reporters are still trying to get a question in, but
Skarrphace is headed up the red carpet
towards the inside of the Grand Garden Arena at the MGM Grand
Hotel and Casino.
He stops to shake hands with several stars on his way in, and
soon he is out of sight.
The scene then fades out.}}
