**Scene opens to find Alex Romanov and Rob Osbourne sitting in Rob�s living room with a stack of drawings from designers and a laptop with a set of hi def speakers hooked up to it. Romanov holds up two or three different pictures each one causing The Nitemare to laugh and shake his head �No�.**

NRO: Alex, What the hell man? I am not wearing any of that shit. Listen, I bought a new car. I am listening to these ten songs you narrowed it down to and am entertaining your idea of new entrance music. I have toned down my language and am keeping my temper in check outside the ring to the best of my abilities. I will NOT be changing my ring attire. It just ain�t happening.

Alex: I understand Rob, but let me ask you a question. What did you wear in your leisure time in 96? Maybe a pair of Z. Cavaricci�s tight rolled at the bottom�or �or�a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans? Huh? Maybe with an I.O.U. sweater, maybe some Doc Martins? Would you wear that shit now unless you were going to a Beverly Hills 90210 party? Hells no you wouldn�t, so the questions begs, why would you wear the same ring attire you wore in your debut match?

NRO: Point taken. However, I wear what I wear for a reason. Call me superstitious. But in a nutshell, it�s the same reason Reggie Jackson always liked to use the same bat, or Cal Ripken liked the same glove, or Michael Jordan the same pair of warm-up shorts under his uniform, or Deion Sanders $900,000.00 diamond necklace under his pads as he played both football and baseball.

See kid, right now, I�m just Rob Osbourne. But when I pull those tights up and tighten the drawstring�I transform. I become �The Nitemare.�

Alex: So, just to be certain, that�s a no then on the wardrobe changes then?

NRO: ��..

Alex: Hey man, I had to ask. But you are going to change the song to the one the kids liked right? I mean, I hope so�.

NRO: Why do you hope so? Alex�what did you do?

Alex: I sort of already signed the licensing agreement, had the mix cut that we wanted and had it fed-ex�d to Xamin;s office in time for your bout at SuperCard. Speaking of SuperCard, what is going on with your brother and do you feel one ounce of remorse for having caused it?

NRO: Pledge you mean? No I don�t feel bad having caused it. In fact, I think it was the best thing that happened to his career in quite awhile. I mean seriously, I checked with one of the guys in IT at CWF HQ and Pledge�s segments this week were the highest downloaded on CWF.com � he owes me again for making him matter. I don�t care if he tahnks me as Teddy Turnbuckle, Pledge Alligence or Fred Astaire, but he had damned well better show me the respect I deserve and thank me in some way shape or form for me helping him again.

Alex: Listen, Rob, if you call a chair shot that nearly left him in a coma a favor�don�t ever do me any favors, ya dig?

NRO: Oh kid, please, you could take 30 chair shots and your eggs wouldn�t be as scrambled as my brothers are. Pledge�s MRI results looks like a rooty tooty fresh and fruity from IHOP.

Alex: One last question before we head to the airport. Do you see any potential issues with winning the National Title next month?

NRO: Alex, according to your �New Nitemare� approach, shouldn�t I be focused on Blood first?

Alex: No.

NRO: I like your style kid, and your confidence in my ability to go out there and destroy Blood leaving the ring looking like my wife�s desk yesterday, but I�ll worry about Astro Jetson when the time comes.

**Scene fades to black as Osbourne picks up a CD with the name Crooked X on it as the two men head to the airport for SuperCard.**
