[Suddenly, the crowd pops as the camera fades in to show Python and Rachel walking alone backstage in their street clothes, talking.]
[MCCOY]: Uh oh�
[PAGE]: Well, there�s one of four of the combatants in the upcoming gauntlet match that will determine who will represent the CSWA at an upcoming CAL event!
[MCCOY]: What�s he up to now?
[The fans hush as the camera picks up what the two are saying]
[PYTHON]: Nah, I doubt it�
[RACHEL]: Of course you are!
[PYTHON]: Noooooooo�
[RACHEL]: Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah�
[PYTHON]: Why do you think I am? Why not Kushner?
[The crowd roars again at the mention of the popular high flyer]
[RACHEL]: Because! You are!
[MCCOY]: What the hell are they talking about�?
[Python adjusts his baseball cap and shrugs]
[PYTHON]: If you say so, Rach�
[RACHEL]: Oooooh, how can you even say you�re not the most extreme fighter in wrestling today, Matt!?
[The fans cheer their agreement as Python just shrugs again]
[PYTHON]: It�s just I don�t think considered it well enough� I mean, just because I was named King of Extreme in some wrestling magazine doesn�t mean anything� it�s not really anything to brag about. What matters is what the fans think.
[RACHEL]: Weeeeeeell then� why don�t you ask the fans?
[PYTHON]: Huh?
[This draws a huge cheer from the enormous crowd]
[RACHEL]: You heard me�
[PYTHON]: Hm� ok, fine. Let�s go.
[Rachel laughs and follows Python down the hallway in the direction of the arena]
[PAGE]: They�re coming out here, Russ!
[MCCOY]: Great� this is the last thing I need tonight.
[PAGE]: It looks as though Python is going to conduct a survey of sorts with the fans!
[Python received a tremendous ovation as he emerges through the curtain, followed closely by Rachel. He takes his time making his way down the aisle, slapping hands and talking to the fans. Finally, he climbs in the ring and receives a microphone.]
[PAGE]: And what a response for young daredevil from New Jersey! The fans are loving this kid and, by God, he gives them a reason to every week!
[MCCOY]: Though what it is I�ll never know�
[Python taps the mic a few times and looks out to the crowd]
[PYTHON]: Heeeeeeeeeellooooooooo, Nebraska!!!!
[Another gigantic roar. Chants of �Python� and �Crystal Dreams� begin to ring through the sold-out arena as Python salutes the fans with Rachel watching from a sitting position on one of the turnbuckles.]
[PYTHON]: Got a hell of a night coming up here, but first� I thought I�d come out here and get your opinions on something. Now, I did notice that cameraman following us in the hallway (they�re not very sneaky) so I guess I don�t need to explain the situation. In that case, let�s get straight to it. Ladies and gentlemen of Lincoln, Nebraska, who is the King of Extreme!?
[The crowd begins to shout it�s response, but Python quickly holds up and hand to silence them]
[PYTHON]: Ah ah ah ah ah� hold up, I think I can go one better.
[He drops to the floor and rolls under the bottom rope to the outside]
[MCCOY]: Uh oh� I�m telling you, he�s up to something, Page!
[PAGE]: Where�s he going�?
[The crowds suddenly erupts into excited cheers again as Python hops the guardrail and makes his way through the chaotic fans.]
[PAGE]: He�s in the crowd! By God, this is crazy! He�s getting mobbed!
[Python laughs as he slaps random hands that shoot out in his direction and approaches a kid in his late teens]
[PYTHON]: Ok, now� who�s the King of Extreme!?
[Through the yells of the crowd, the shout of the kid is just audible]
[KID]: Yooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!
[The answer gets a huge pop from the crowd and everyone yells to Python to come to them next.]
[PYTHON]: Heh... cool�
[He wades through the cheering fans and up to another section of the building, enjoying every second of the screaming madness. He approaches a young woman in her twenties and grins]
[PYTHON]: Well, hello there!
[The lady just cheers and holds up a sign that says �Hi, Beth!�]
[LADY]: Woooooooooooooooo!!!
[PYTHON]: Nice to see you, too! Now then, who�s the King of Extreme!?
[LADY]: You aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare!!!
[Another pop from the crowd. Python shrugs and shakes the lady�s hand, moving on. He manages to make his way about another 50 feet before stopping in front of a group of guys in their mid-forties.]
[GUYS]: YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
[Python laughs and shakes his head, shouting over the wild fans]
[PYTHON]: Hey! What�s up!?
[GUYS]: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
[PYTHON]: Hehe�
[He goes down the row of four guys, asking each one separately]
[PYTHON]: Ok, sir. Who do you think is the King of Extreme?
[1st GUY]: YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
[PYTHON]: And you, sir?
[2nd GUY]: YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU ARE!!!
[Python shrugs off the cheers after each response and turns to the last two guys]
[PYTHON]: Cool! And you? Who do you think is the King of Extreme!?
[3rd GUY]: YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
[PYTHON]: And you? Who�s the King of Extreme?
[4th GUY]: KAAAAARL PYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYKE!!!!!!
[Every fan in attendance cracks up along with Python, who is howling in laughter]
[PAGE]: Hahahahaha�
[MCCOY]: I don�t get it!
[PYTHON]: Hehehehe�. oooh man�.
[Finally, everyone calms down as the guy continues to yell into the microphone]
[PYTHON]: I gotta give it to ya, that was good. Ten points for originality.
[The guy laughs and Python high fives him, grinning and saying something that isn�t caught by the mic. He turns back and begins to make his way back through the cheering fans.]
[PAGE]: Another example of Python�s amazing compatibility with the fans! They love him! They absolutely love him!
[MCCOY]: Pheh� I don�t.
[PAGE]: You don�t love anyone�
[MCCOY]: So?
[Python finally makes his way back to the guard rail and effortlessly hops over it. He slides back into the ring and walks over to Rachel, who just grins innocently.]
[RACHEL]: Told ya, Matt�
[PYTHON]: Hehe�
[RACHEL]: Now I guess all you have to do is win the gauntlet match tonight and you�ll be unstoppable.
[PYTHON]: You know, you make it sound so easy�
[PAGE]:And on that note folks we will be right back
[They begin to exit the ring as the camera fades out, fans still cheering�]
