[Suddenly, the Titantron lights up. The crowd quickly hushes in anticipation as the parking lot appears on the screen. Suddenly, a crimson Jaguar comes screaming into the parking lot and skids to a stop. The door swings open and out steps� Python! The crowd jumps to its feet and cheers for the young high flyer as he locks the door and slams it shut. He looks around and grins.]
[PYTHON]: Three� two� one�
[VOICE]: Python!!!
[Python laughs as Traci-Lyn Brisbois comes running across the parking lot. Finally, she reaches him and flashes a smile to the camera. Python watches her, amused, as she tries to catch her breath and talk to the camera at the same time.]
[BRISBOIS]: Hello, this is Traci-Lyn Brisbois here with one of CSWA�s fastest rising stars, Python!
[The crowd cheers as Python takes an exaggerated bow.]
[BRISBOIS]: First of all, something I think we�d all like to know, how is your back doing?
[PYTHON]: Actually, it�s been feeling pretty good� my doctors have cleared me to return from the ring as long as I don�t do anything crazy, which I will anyway�
[Another loud pop from the crowd]
[BRISBOIS]: So you�re all set to go?
[PYTHON]: Yeap� that�s the confusing thing though, because I still wasn�t scheduled for a match... Ah, I�ll find out why later. If you have questions, then ask away!
[BRISBOIS]: I was hoping you�d say that. Now, last week on Wildfire, the drawings were held for the Tag Title Tournament and you were paired with CSWA Television Champion and Authority member Jeff Kushner�
[She says something else, but the cheers of the crowd drown her out.]
[PYTHON]: Yeah� you know, to tell you the truth, I was kinda hoping to get Kushner. Man� we had ourselves a hell of a little T.V. Title feud there for a while� but he just barely came out on top. I promise each and every single one of you, that won�t be the last time you see me vs. Kushner. Plans are underway� but I can�t tell you them now. You�ll just have to� **gasp** wait! Hehehehehe�.
[The crowd sounds disappointed, but eager.]
[PYTHON]: Anyways, it�s gonna be different seeing Jeff standing next to me instead of across from me. But I�ll tell ya� we�re gonna make one helluva team. Honestly, I couldn�t have asked for someone that I�d work better with in this federation. I mean, come on! We�re both high flyers, we�re both aggressive�
[BRISBOIS]: And you�re both crazy.
[Python blinks and looks over at Traci-Lyn, who smiles innocently.]
[PYTHON]: Yes, and we�re both crazy. Thank you Traci�
[BRISBOIS]: Anytime�
[Python laughs and scratches his head in wonder]
[PYTHON]: As I was saaaaaaaaaaaying� if The Darkness thinks it can keep up with me and Kushner� well, they�ve got another thing coming! If Kushner�s willing to work with me on this one, we�re taking those tag titles.
[The crowd loudly cheers their approval. Suddenly, Tony Mastino walks up to Python accompanied by two police officers. Traci-Lyn slowly sidles away as Python tenses, ready to fight.]
[MASTINO]: Well, well, well� if it isn�t Python! The suicidal maniac who almost broke his back on a railing and went blasting off a bazooka last week!
[Python smiles proudly and holds his head high triumphantly.]
[PYTHON]: Yeap, that�d be me!
[MASTINO]: I�m�
[PYTHON]: Bah, you don�t have to introduce yourself, I know who you are. You�re that little guy with the big mouth who�s always running around and sticking his nose into other people�s business. Gastino is it?
[MASTINO]: It�s MAStino!!! Tony Mastino!!!!!
[PYTHON]: Sheez, alright! Don�t have a stroke on me� so, any reason I�m being graced with your presence?
[Mastino smiles a cocky grin and takes a step back, standing between the security guards.]
[MASTINO]: Yes. As a matter of fact, there is. Due to potentially harmful behaviour last week and threatening the announcing team with a weapon, you have been banned from this arena! You aren�t allowed to be within 100 feet of this arena, so I suggest that you leave immediately!
[Deafening boos echo through the arena as Python grows serious.]
[PYTHON]: WHAT!!?? You�re joking!
[MASTINO]: Oh, no joke, Python.
[Now feeling more confident, Mastino walks right up to Python. The crowd falls to a hush and the camera zooms in for a close up.]
[MASTINO]: Yeah, you thought you were all cool, blasting that bazooka off last week. Python, you ain�t nothing! You�re just an undersized punk who makes a living by jumping off high places and playing to the crowd.
[PYTHON]: That so?
[MASTINO]: Yeah, it is! Know what else? You and Jeff Kushner are gonna get your asses whipped next week on Wildfire by the Darkness! That lousy Kushner will never amount to anything, and neither will you! I�ll bet you won�t even�
[Suddenly, Mastino cuts short and wheezes in pain. Python grins as Mastino�s face contorts itself with pain. The camera zooms out to show Python�s fist buried in Mastino�s gut! The crowd explodes into cheers as Mastino staggers backwards and falls on the ground, gasping for breath. Before Mastino can get his wind back, the cops rush at Python. He drops down onto his stomach, causing one of the officers to trip and collide into the other. Python jumps to his feet and takes off, tearing through the parking lot and laughing like a madman with the two cops right behind him.]
