[The scene cuts backstage and the crowd cheer, although a few jeer, as a contender for the MWF World Heavyweight Championship is shown standing in front of an MWF logo. Ian Gonzales is standing with him, microphone at the ready. Tempest smiles briefly and waits for Gonzales to start.]

Gonzales: Tempest, this is a fantastic opportunity for you tonight. How are you feeling ahead of the big clash?

Tempest: I will have to admit I am slightly nervous. I witnessed first hand the match between Father John Ramsey and Enigma, unlike you, I was down at ringside and I saw every bit of effort that Ramsey put into beating Enigma...which I tell you is no easy feat.

Gonzales: Do you think those nerves will affect your performance?

Tempest: There is nothing wrong with getting nervous, it's a natural human reaction, especially when in situations like this. If I was facing someone like Stud then maybe I would be less nervous...but I've got to get out there in front of ten thousand people and make sure I do a good job for them.

Gonzales: This Japanese crowd have started to turn for you...they're really enjoying seeing you around, your promotional work and yet they haven't seen you in the ring. Is tonight the night you justify all the hype?

Tempest: Hype? I don't think there has ever really been any hype surrounding myself. I've worked my way up, and I will be the first to admit I took a long time to reach this pinnacle and I like to think I've earned it. I appreciate this change in fortune from the crowd, they are finally starting to appreciate what I do and hopefully I can translate that into a great performance tonight and take Father John Ramsey out of the MWF World Heavyweight Championship equation.

Gonzales: You have great respect for your opponent tonight...yet he hasn't wrestled as many matches as you, he's not been around the MWF as long, yet you still show him respect, why?

Tempest: Because it's polite. I mean, for a start the guy is an ordained priest and it's very hard to slag off a man of God. That's no small feat, and also because I admire his work ethic. This guy has been matching me, training session for training session, promotional event for promotional event, interview for interview, and yet as you say he's fought less matches than me and not been here as long...but that's the way it goes. He is healthy competition and I feel tonight we can bring the best out of each other and really push ourselves to the maximum for the fans here tonight.

[A cheer can be heard in the background from the fans in the Kyoto arena, Ian Gonzales coughs.]

Gonzales: One final question for you, as I know you'll be raring to head out there and get stuck in...but, any thoughts on Thunder Bull and "The Kovenant" that has been revealed?

Tempest: I'm not focusing on that right now, I have to beat Father John Ramsey and if I don't then I won't be facing Thunder Bull. But if I was to overcome Ramsey's challenge then I feel confident, and believe in myself to do the job against Thunder Bull. I've done it three times before, and I'll do it again and finally claim the MWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Gonzales: Okay, thank you Tempest. Great to speak to you and good luck for tonight.

Tempest: Thanks Ian.

[Tempest walks off towards the ring and prepares to get ready for the biggest match of his career, as Ian Gonzales hands back to JP and Sully at ringside.]

JP: Tempest is a shrewd competitor, he doesn't give much away and it's going to be a real technical feast tonight between these two men.

Sully: We're going to take a short break but we'll be back with Tempest versus Father John Ramsey!
