[The camera cuts to the backstage area where "Big" Ed Johnson is sitting at his desk, sorting through some files and papers. He looks to be pretty busy, but there is a nock at the door. Johnson looks up, but before he can get a word out, NLR newcomer, Derrick Faith walks into the room, followed by his 'lovely' girlfriend, Leann Filth. Faith is dressed in a blue collar shirt that is tucked into his blue Wrangler jeans. His black cowboy boots shine just about as much as the bright Rebel Flag belt buckle he's wearing. He has a big white cowboy hat that covers his head and shades his face. Leann, is dressed in a torn black Marlboro T-Shirt and a pair of tight blue jeans. Her dark hair hangs down past her shoulder as she smacks louldy on a piece of chewing gum. Faith tilts his hat at Johnson as he takes a seat in front of the desk.]
"Big" Ed Johnson: Ever heard of knocking?
Derrick Faith: Yeah.
[Ed Johnson shakes his head and looks up at the pair.]
"Big" Ed Johnson: Who are you?
Derrick Faith: Well now, I'm NLR's only cowboy, Derrick Faith. And this here's my beautiful girl, Leann Filth.
"Big" Ed Johnson: And what is it that I can do for you?
Derrick Faith: A couple week's back we were signed under NLR contract. Now, all I've come here to do, is to introduce myself to my new boss. Ain't that right honey?
Leann Filth: That's right.
"Big" Ed Johnson: You wanted...to introduce yourself. Get out of here! I don't have time for this.
[Ed Johnson goes back to his paperwork, but Derrick nor Leann moves an inch. He looks back up at Derrick with a rather annoyed face.]
"Big" Ed Johnson: Why are you still here?
Derrick Faith: Well there is the matter of when my first match is gonna be...
"Big" Ed Johnson: I see what this is about. You want you a match, don't you? You want your official NLR debut to happen. Is that it?
[Derrick Faith and Leann Filth both nod and smile at "Big" Ed Johnson.]
Derrick Faith: That's right.
"Big" Ed Johnson: Well coming in here uninvited is NOT the way to make that happen. I could care less about some cowboy and his filthy little girlfriend.
[Derrick begins to get up in anger at "Big" Ed Johnson, but Leann sticks her hand out and forces him back into his chair.]
"Big" Ed Johnson: But I tell you what I'm going to do. Since I am a nice guy, I'll give you your match. Next week on Hysteria, you can make your official debut.
Derrick Faith: Well alright. Whose my opponent gonna be?
"Big" Ed Johnson: I don't have time to search for an opponent, so here's the deal. Next week, on Hysteria, it will be "Cowboy" Derrick Faith versus....an opponent of your choice.
Derrick Faith: Anyone I want?!
"Big" Ed Johnson: Now hold on! You can have anyone you want, providing they are NOT in the tournament that it taking place. Now whose it going to be? LSD, John Woodgate, who?
["Big" Ed Johnson smiles as Derrick Faith ponders on who he will face.]
Derrick Faith: I think I'll go with LS...
[Leann Filth leans over and whispers something into Derrick's face that makes his eyes light up.]
Derrick Faith: You say anyone Johnson? Well...then my opponent next week...is none other than the NLR Legacy Champion Leandro!
["Big" Ed Johnson's expression drops. He had not even thought about the possibilty of this rookie getting his first ever match against the champion. But he couldn't back out of the deal so he forced a smile. ]
"Big" Ed Johnson: Very well. Done. Next week it will be Leandro versus Derrick Faith. Non-title of course.
Derrick Faith: Thank ya kindly Johnson.
[Derrick and Leann stand up smiling. Derrick tilts his hat to Johnson as Leann leads him out of the room, leaving "Big" Ed Johnson to his paperwork.]
