[We cut backstage to Ed Walker sat upright in an office. He shuffles through papers, rearranges documents but manages to maintain an unstressed facial expression. He blows his fringe out of his face and continues through his work. He mutters to himself.]

Walker: Damn papers to work through!

[A knock at the door alerts Ed. He looks upwards and through the blinds at the office window. A fragmented Ace Spade stands, ready to battle in his trademark black tights dotted with playing cards. The MWF World Title glistens through the window. Ace's expression is concealed in shadow. Ed sighs and grimaces simultaneously.]

Walker: Come in�

[Ace opens the door and strides in. He halts before the desk.]

Ace Spade: I'm here to-

Walker: What do you want?

[Ace looks impatient. He begins his sentence again.]

Ace Spade: I'm here to apologise.

[Ed's eyebrows hit the roof. He splutters out his next sentence.]

Walker: Huh! You're apologising? Apologising!?

[Ace's face is full of emotion, red with both anger and embarrassment.]

Ace Spade: Are you gonna let me do this?

Walker: Go ahead.

[Ed sits back, closing his eyes and smiling, as if ready to receive the apology. Ace opens his mouth but stops himself. He frowns as he looks down over the desk at President Walker.]

Ace Spade: Look at you� as Champion I'm stood here apologising to the likes of you� and you have the nerve to insult me? Insult the best in the company?

[Ed seems amused. Ace moves round to Walker's side of the desk. He takes the chair Walker sits in and swings it to face him. The President opens his eyes and glares at "The Player."]

Walker: What the hell do you think you're doing? You know you deserve EVERYTHING Insane Wayne is gonna throw at you tonight.

Ace Spade: I ought to smack you right in the mouth!

[Prez Ed stands and pushes Ace away. Ace raises his arm and Ed flinches. Controlling his fumes, Ace lowers his arm and breathes out a heavy breath. Ed sits back down, much more alert this time -- eyes wide open.]

Walker: Get out.

[Ace swiftly turns and heads for the door.]

Ace Spade: Don't worry I'm going.

[He stops by the door and turns.]

Ace Spade: You know, I thought you were cleverer than to talk to me like that.

[Ace leaves the door wide open as he disappears down the corridor.]

JP: My God! How can Ace Spade do that to the MWF President...

Sully:..Have you forgotten that he is the MWF World Champion, he's in the big time now and he has the power to tell everyone just what he thinks of them.

JP: I don't think Ace Spade's ever had any friends in the MWF, he's a one man loner show.

Sully: He doesn't need any friends, when he gets in the ring he's becoming an absolute power house and almost impossible to beat.

JP: It won't be impossible for Insane Wayne, he's a top class wrestler and tonight he will show us just why he is considered a legend by many wrestlers and fans alike.

Sully: Who are they? I've never met anyone who thinks that Insane Wayne is a legend.

JP: Did you never see him in the UWF?

Sully: Everyone is always going on about the UWF but I never saw him, for all we know he could be talking smack and we'd never know.

JP: You'll know tonight when he gets into that ring and dismantles Ace Spade piece by piece...Ace Spade's yet to defend that belt and if Wayne wins tonight he's got every reason to be in with a shout of taking on Ace Spade at some point.

Sully: It could be a step too far for Insane Wayne.

JP: It could literally be A Step Too Far for Insane Wayne if everything goes to plan, the "Hardcore Living Legend" could be at A Step Too Far taking on Ace Spade.

Sully: That'd be popular, a big loser like Insane Wayne getting in the ring with a man that everyone knows will beat him.

JP: Ace Spade won't beat Insane Wayne, just watch and see the vision.

Sully: I bet "Twisted Vizion" get all over this match and help Insane Wayne cheat his way to victory...they always do.

JP: They don't..did you see a "Twisted Vizion" member out there during Caliko's match?

Sully: They were probably too scared.
