We open up our scene backstage in the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregan, where this week's edition of the first ever domesticated ShowDown shall take place. That is where we see interviewer, Leticia Cline, standing in front of a ShowDown marked interview set, with a microphone in her hand.

Leticia Cline
"Ladies and gentleman, my guest tonight not only came so close to winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Last Stand, some would say he has a personal gain to get another shot, nevertheless, please welcome my guest tonight, Mr. Man!"

Mr. Man walks into the frame, not as cheery or as full of himself as usual, but looking confident none-the-less.

Leticia Cline
"Mr. Man, at Last Stand, you were found out to be the mystery opponent against Eighteen for her World title, and nearly won the World title only for some controversial win on Eighteen's part, what are your thoughts?"

'The Future' Mr. Man
"Controversial? That's the nice way of putting it, Leticia, but how about a better word, a more thruthful word, I was screwed at Last Stand. At Last Stand, I had made a promise that not only would I win back the World title I never lost, but I would end taking Eighteen's career, only for that asshole James Ceno coming out and screwing me out of my World title."

Leticia Cline
"Well, coming of the shadows of Last Stand, you may have a chance to re-build yourself, when you go one-on-one against International Champion, Predator, in a Money in the Bank qualifying match."

'The Future' Mr. Man
"For once in your life, Leticia, you are indeed correct. Tonight, I have a chance to not only show that I was screwed, royally might I add, at Last Stand, but I havce chance to make my Hall of Fame worthy career bigger than it already has. I have a chance to go to WrestleMania, and become Mr. Money in the Bank, and not only that, I have myself a chance to prove everyone wrong about my title reign, which I got screwed out of, of course."

Mr. Man looks at Leticia with a smirk, which indeed does turn her off for those wondering.

Leticia Cline
"Well, you may be true there, but you have a big opponent for you in the International Champion, Predator, the question is, can you handle him?"

'The Future' Mr. Man
"Here's what I don't get, Leticia. For the past year, all you've heard about was how Predator is going to eventually be a big name and eventually smash that glass ceiling. Well, I heard that a year ago, and he's same damn place he was then. The fact is, Predator is overrated, he is much like Cameron Hayden, and that's not but hype, I proved Hayden was hype, I'll prove Predator is hype."

Leticia Cline
"Be that as it may, he did win a Gauntlet for the Gold at Last Stand to become International Champion, maybe proving he's not hype."

'The Future' Mr. Man
"You made exactly my point, Leticia. All Predator can do is win some mid-card title, a mid-card title that no one has cared about since 2005. And I know, people will come tell me I myself won a mid-card title no one cares about a while back, but the difference between my winning of the X-Division title and his International title run, is the fact that I made the X-Division the hottest division, and while it may not have stuck thanks to faulty champions who screw you because they know you're better, I made a contribution, Predator hasn't."

Leticia Cline
"You mentioned earlier about the controversial finish at Last Stand, and I need to ask you, will this make you more lukewarm for this match or not?"

Mr. Man does an uneasy smirk towards Leticia, noting that she is really kinda dumb.

'The Future' Mr. Man
"At Last Stand, James Ceno screwed me, not just in a way to go where no man has gone before, in Eighteen's pants, but to make an impact. What James needs to realize, nobody, NOBODY makes an impact at my expense. Will it motivate me tonight? Yes, I've stated before, and I'll state again, when that bell rings, Predator is James Ceno in my eyes."

Leticia Cline
"Outside of John Cena, some would say that you were the breakout superstar in last year's Money in the Bank ladder match, do you really think you can make it back there again?"

'The Future' Mr. Man
"You're right Leticia, I was the breakout star of last year's Money in the Bank ladder match, and I can make it there again. Last year I came oh so close, but John Cena, and that's fine with me, but what you need to realize, when I beat Predator and am able to go to the ladder match, I will be the favorite, and I promise, I will deliver on expectations that would be presented to me."

Leticia Cline
"If you make it, you could be the favorite, but unlike last year, you won't have much of a fan base as you did last year as an underdog."

Mr. Man looks at Leticia uneasy now, shaking his head with her comments and what not.

'The Future' Mr. Man
"You're right, people don't like me like they once did, at least not in the United States, Leticia. You look everywhere else on the planet, and you'll see I have a fanbase more unique than anyone in the world. I should be World Champion right now Leticia, but the fact is, this may be last chance to get where I once was, and Predator, he won't be able to stop me."

Leticia Cline
"Earlier tonight Predator told how he left the eWe for 4 months because he was burnt out, not because of what you deluted to, and that was Danny Danger's turn on him."

'The Future' Mr. Man
"Maybe he was burnt out, maybe he was tired of wrestling, but that just proves another fact in my theory of him being mentally weak. Because he was hiding from the world for 4 months, he wasn't able to live up to expectations, and while he was gone for 4 months, I was able to do what he will never do at this rate, and become World Heavyweight Champion. You know what this proves, Leticia? It proves he's nothing, nothing but a choke artist."

Leticia Cline
"Well tonight is your chance, as you stated, to climb back that ladder, if you win, you go to the Money in the Bank ladder match, if not, you might just take WrestleMania off."

'The Future' Mr. Man
"Leticia, I am going to beat Predator beyond his wildest expectations. Not only will I beat him, Leticia, I will go on to WrestleMania, and I will become Mr. Money in the Bank. You ask people who I have beaten in the past 12 months, and they will tell you, I have what it takes to climb the ladder again, but this time, it will be literally, because I promise you and everyone else, the Gold Standard, he will climb the ladder, he will retreive the briefcase, and he will hit the Motherload. As for tonight, Predator, for once you are the prey, because you are the past, you live to far in the present, but the Future is here!"

Mr. Man smirks now, before leaving the side of Leticia, no doubt to go get prepared, leaving Leticia by herself at the interview spot, ending this scene and roleplay.
