Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time is not one of our typical wrestlers in the AICW! But he has indeed been a force to be reckon since he first arrived not too long ago. Please welcome, KYLE BANE! (as "Breathe" by Prodigy plays over the loudspeakers, Kyle walks down the aisle to the ring in measured, confident steps. he is wearing a well-cut black suit, his trademark mirrorshades, a black cowboy hat, and a huge, aimiable grin, despite the jeers of the crowd. in one hand he carries a bouqet of dead roses. climbing up to the ring apron, he steps over the top rope and walks over to Reba and the microphone, still smiling) Reba Kola: Welcome Mr Bane! You're looking normal today. What's the matter? Kyle Bane: First of all, i'd just like to say how much i admire your work, Reba. a small token of my affection...(hands the dead roses to Reba, then continues) You know...it's long been said that wrestling is a conservative sport, that it responds slowly to change..well i've felt that first hand, just as Legion's felt it in the AICW. But i'm determined, and despite the reactionary tendancies of the AICW, i WILL continue to make an impact in this fed......if my fists, if nothing else. Reba: Well Kyle, let's first of all talk about your new alliance with Legion! What was unique about him, that caused you to decide to take him under your wing so to speak? Kyle: Legion? (laugh) Legion and i have a lot in common...i think we understand where we're both coming from. He's had a rough life, and i'm humanitarian enough to try to help him out. (chuckles) believe me, if someone else had tried to assist the poor guy, i wouldn't need to be helping him now. but it seems no one else gives a damn about those people who get swept aside by this business. It's sad really.. Reba: You have also stated that you would like MR Y to join your alliance. My question to you is WHY? He's an idiot, a moron and a big dufus! Why would you want to team up with that geek, I would surely like to know? Kyle: (long silent pause, as Kyle stares at Reba, running his tongue thoughtfully over his bottom lip.) I'm sure he thinks highly of you also. If you know where i'm coming from...if you understand what the Demon is..then why i'm trying to recruit Mr. Y needs no explanation. you're obviously clueless, along with the vast majority of these fans..(waves an arm in the direction of the jeering fans) SHUT UP AND LET ME SPEAK FOR A MINUTE! (fans quiet) thank you. but as i was saying, Mr. Y's caught in a vicious cycle. like Legion, he can't get any respect. You people are the problem, and i'm the solution. I would prefer (hissing the words out, he's obviously a bit perturbed) to leave it at that. Reba: Are there any other wrestlers in the AICW that you are considering for your alliance? Kyle: Well.....(chuckles) you just can't get enough of this allience thing, can you? You want me to name names, i take it? (pauses for a minute, rubbing his chin, then he smiles and nods) Fair 'Nuff...I will say there are two other competitors in the World Championship matchup i haven't talked to yet, who i would enjoy working beside...Maybe after i beat them to a bloody pulp, i'll offer them positions. who knows? Tag-team wise...Well...i'm going to scoping prospects in depth in the next few weeks. (smiles) Maybe Sam's boys..Maybe Erin's boys... Maybe even Shamrocks n' Shenannigans...Damendred and his Darkside boys are okay too...i don't want to recruit them, but i understand fully where they're coming from..(chuckles again) Reba: Finally. you and Legion have a big matchup tonight in the Main Event where you will be competiting against 6 other men for the AICW World Championship in a match that you, I, and everyone else know nothing about! How have you and Legion prepared for this match and if it comes down to you 2, who would win? Kyle: How have we prepared....believe me, Reba..you do not want to now...a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears, and almost none of it was ours...(laughs) i'll leave it at that. Right now, i'm looking for an evening of good, clean, ultraviolent fun and crippling injury. kinda makes the heart flutter, don't you think? (pauses) If it comes down to us two, who would win?.....why Legion of course...i'd lay down for him in an instant for the 3 count...This isn't about Kyle Bane..this is about respect...and blood..and pain...come to think of it, mostly blood and pain...(laughs) but i digress.... Reba: Well, that's about it! Any final comments? Kyle: Yeah, actually...in regards to tonights match, i'm ready to go all out...wrestling Fans, you are going to see the Demon fully unleashed for the first time, and believe me, when i'm standing in that ring, soaked in blood, it isn't going to be a pretty sight. I may be lifting the title above my head, or i may be lifting it with Legion, but i will be standing at the end.......and no one, NOT ONE OF THE PAPER ATHLETES IN THIS FED, (voice is raised) I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE JOHNNY PAYNE, LOKI OR MARTIN X......NOT ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO STOP THE RISE OF THE DEMON....TONIGHT, I'VE GOT THE POWER FLOWING THROUGH MY VEINS, AND LEGION IS ON A QUEST FOR RESPECT. AND BELIEVE ME, (pauses, and smiles) there are going to be a lot of victims in this ring tonight, Reba...If Mark McMahon thinks what i do in my interviews is extreme, he's going to have a heart attack tonight. Now if you'll excuse me, Ms. Kola, i have to prepare for my match. (bows formally to Reba, then, steps back over the top rope, and strides back down the aisle, oblivious to the yells of the fans) Reba: Well thank you for your time Mr Bane! Back to you Dan! Dan: Thank you Reba! Kyle Bane sure looks intense tonight! What do you think of his chances at capturing the World Title Juan? Juan: What? I'm sorry, I kinda zoned out there for a few minutes!
