Live From Daytona Beach, Florida
The Tiger Has Found His Prey
[The camera cuts backstage and we see the new NLR talent, Naz, walking down a corridor. He holds a bag in his hand, the red bag reads "Training" in blue letters and Naz pushes open a door and the camera follows him through. Naz sits down on a bench inside a room, he puts his head in his hands for a moment and then raises them to look up at the wall.]
Naz: Ah...
[The sigh comes from Naz's lips as he looks at the pictures which surround the wall in the arena, they are of great wrestlers of the past. Naz gets up and walks up to one picture, he sighs again.]
Naz: I come half-way round the world, and what am I confronted with....a slim, gay, middle-aged man with children, wearing pink tights....well they always did say America was unique.
[Naz runs a hand through his dark brown hair and smiles.]
Naz: Troy Knight. This man is the Hugh Hefner of professional wrestling. He's on more magazine covers than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt put together. He's everything that every young boy wants to be, and he's everything that every young girl wants to have. Yet, this man is everything that morally this country rejects...because he's a homosexual.
[Naz moves along to a picture where Troy Knight is seen holding his son, Bobby, aloft to a cheering crowd with a championship belt in his right hand.]
Naz: This man has surpassed anything his father ever thought he would achieve, and why? Because Troy Knight is the first true, sport's entertainer. The days of professional wrestling are slowly dying, the ability of how well you can suplex is no longer important, it's all about how you come across. You need to be able to portray yourself as an entertainer, you need to be able to sit there on Saturday Night Live and talk openly and in a manner which connects with the people.
[Naz touches the picture with his right hand, running his fingers around the outline of Troy Knight.]
Naz: Troy Knight is entertainment. You watch him and you are drawn into his world, this world that he creates for everyone to see. It's scary to see just how blinded this great American public are by a man who is only half-decent, a man who has good intentions but they always turn bad.
[Naz turns to actually face the camera, a slight snarl on his face.]
Naz: You listen well Troy, and you listen good. Tonight the Next Level Revolution takes a recovering step, but it cannot fully recover until it has it's best entertainer back doing what he does best. "Troy Boy", you've never been lusted for as much in your life as all those fans out there lust for you. They call your name inbetween every single match, because you are everything to them and you're sitting there behind closed doors making easy money as a talent advisor, or some other administration job.
[Naz walks towards the camera, raising the tone of his voice.]
Naz: Your days as a pen pusher need to finish, it's time you stopped putting other wrestlers on the story board and stamped your own blonde streaks back on there. I'm ready to take you to the next level Knight, the question is, are you ready?
[Naz grabs his bag and opens the door to the room and walks off down the corridor as the camera moves back to the arena.]
JP: Whoah!
Sully: Troy Knight will be spitting with rage...
JP: ...he certainly will, Naz just sent a very clear message to Troy Knight right there.
Sully: He wants to get Troy Knight back in the ring at long last.
JP: Troy seems to have developed a slight phobia of that ring and now he might of found someone capable of bringing him back to his best. I�m sorry ladies and gentlemen, just a moment �
Sully: What?
JP: �.
[ John Pilkington raises his hand and presses the ear piece of his headset deeper into his ear for a moment, listening attentively to what is being told to him. ]
Sully: Hello?
JP: Sorry about that! I�ve just received word that we are headed, once again, backstage to the office of the NLR�s CEO, Marcus Anderson.
