Sphere 4:
Posing for an interview with the "Champ."
...you reach out and grab the fourth sphere. It transforms into a television monitor and on it is Rob Osbourne posing for a picture to accompany his interview that will appear in IoA Uncut magazine's next issue entitled: 'It's good being bad." by IoA correspondant Charlie Gordon. We join them now as the interview begins after the photo shoot.
Charlie Gordon: Mr. Osbourne, can I call you Rob champ?

Rob Osbourne: No, but thanks, just stick to Mr. Osbourne, it has a nice ring to it.

Charlie Gordon: Fair enough. Mr. Osbourne, in the event that you are able to succesfully defend your IoA World Champioship against Chris Reinhardt at Cold Hard Truth, you will then face Pledge Alligence. What are your thoughts on that situation, and your IoA future?

Rob Osbourne: Well Charlie, I could lie to you and say I take one match at a time, but that would be , as I said, a lie. I am always thinking about the future. That's how you really last this long in this business. You have to be prepared on moments notice for anything and everything. And always, ALWAYS be thinking Murphy's Law. Anything that can go wrong, will. But with the issue of Chris Reinhardt, let's face it, twice now I have scored the win over him. Is he thinking maybe third times the charm? Not for a second. Ask the next course on my IoA menu, Pledge Alligence. Each time, each futile attempt to beat me, only gets under your skin more. Each time I talk you cringe, regardless of what I say. I could be reading from the Bible and you would get agitated to the point of near insanity. That's what I do to people Chris. It isn't your fault. You had no way of knowing other than believing me. I know you are snowed in right now Chris. You must be snowblind as well. Thinking you will waltz in and take MY title from me? Insanity, pure insanity! And as far as Pledge goes Charlie, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, sold the t-shirt for tens of thousands of dollars on e-bay, did it again, same thing, lots of t-shit money, and over, and ah, ya know, it gets old. I mean, I fell for the guy, and maybe this once my heart may grow three sizes in one day and I may do the J-O-B to him. But I doubt it. I'll mash him like grand mom's potatoes. And after that Charlie my boy, the sky's the limit!

Charlie Gordon: With such stars as Vengeance and MVP returning, and new talents like Vic Viceroy and IoA's largest stable ever, comprising two thirds of the roster, the Masters Of Disasters coming on strong, who do you see being the next for Rob Osbourne, with or without the title around your waste?

Rob Osbourne: Oh gee Charlie, that really isn't a fair question. I mean, obviously I am going to have to put the father out of his misery, so I am guessing Jericho and Osbourne for the first titme ever will be inevitable. And then there is the issue of MVP. What a joke. Donovan beat him, I beat Donovan, process of elimination says I win everytime. I beat him senseless in the SAW and the IoA won't be any different. It's all a matter of time. I'm sure my new friend Paul Blair will line me up a good food chain, he knows the hunger that fuels me needs pacification or he becomes the prey, and Paul Blair doesn't want that, he doesn't want that at all.

Charlie Gordon: i say you should give a shot to someone who deserves some time in the spotlight like Astro or your own brother Chris Osbourne.

Rob Osbourne: And I say that's why you're a reporter and not a booker. I would eat Astro alive, let's be honest. He may be able to take out that idiot meathead Blair has running in his shadows Kirk Larsen for his SOWOFHWERTYFHGEWTUOL World Title, but it'll be a cold day in hell before Astro ever has what it takes to even carry my jock, let alone strap my title around his waste.

Charlie Gordon: Well folks, Rob Osbourne shows us his true colors and why he thinks it's good to be bad, but in this reporter's opinion, it is very bad to Rob Osbourne in the IoA because EVERYONE wants a piece of you...who can you trust Rob? Who can you trust?
Charlie Gordon finishes the commentary for the article. As he does Rob Osbourne looks puzzled and bewildered at the reporter's comments. At that moment the monitor turns back into a sphere, you reach out and....
