Cole Matthews - I'm standing here with the TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Nic Totopoulous.  Over the past few weeks Totopoulous has been in a number of altercations with Terror Xtreme.  These three men, Fozz, Big Boss, and Cappy have all taken their turns with various attacks on you Nic.  I know that you can't be very happy about that.

Nic Totopoulous - Well way to point out the obvious there CCole.  For the last month or so I have had to put up with verbal and physical attacks from this group of people.  For weeks on end they have attacked me from behind in a group of three.  Three on one, no one really likes those odds, especially not me.  Now I know that maybe I should be saying things like I'm the greatest, like I can take all three of them on at once and beat them.  The truth is though, I can't, and I know I can't.  Terror Xtreme has taken their liberties on me numerous times.  They have attacked me from behind in a pack of three, where I cannot defend myself, but who can.  All I can do is continue to try and stick up for myself, to continue to try and defend myself, and most importantly to try and hold on to the thing I hold, the thing I need so much to survive, the only thing keeping me going, and that's my championship title belt, the one thing that Terror X can't have, and will never have.

Now Nic you just talked about how they have taken advantage of you walking solo.  I guess now that isn't so much the case.  You seem to have some allies now.

Well Cole this is true I do have some allies.  All three of my allies I know from my past, some better than others.  The man I know the best out of these three is Gravedigger.  He has proven to me without a shadow of a doubt that he is by my side, that he will remain by my side.  I have been through thick and thin with this man.  At first I hated him, I hated him more than any other person on the face of the planet.  Then over time we somehow managed to co-exist, then we managed to bond together and become part of a tremendous force, P.U.N.K.S.  There was no one that could stand in our way, and there is no one that even dared to stop us.  Along with ViperJ and then Stonehart, we were the most feared trio in the wrestling world.  I know what makes Digger tick, I know what puts him off, and I know right now that it's Terror X.  Right now I know that all he has on his mind is dismantling Terror X, in the most painful way possible.  As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to help him on that quest, or on that journey if you will any way I can.

As for another man that stands by me, and that has a common enemy in Terror X, Kevin Cosmos, I don't dispute his intentions.  I'm not going to dispute the fact that he hates Terror X as much as I do.  I don't dispute the fact that he will probably do whatever he can to stop them, and I don't dispute the fact that if I were to offer to help him, he would graciously accept.  The only problem is that what if we do take care of and disband Terror X, what comes next?  The truth is that we have had a history together, and it isn't very pretty.  We have hated each other in the past, and I don't see why we can't in the future.  The truth is that when it comes to Terror X and his motives to destroy them, I can trust him.  On a personal level though, I still don't know what to expect from him.  I still don't know if he can be trusted.  I know that will be a great ally in my fight against Terror Xtreme, because I know what he is capable of.  I know of his ability to take a person apart piece by piece.  I know that he has the ability to be the best wherever he goes.  I've seen him at his best, and to be on the other side of the ring when he is at his best is a little nerve racking.  I'm sure that this is the way Terror X feels.

Finally we come across Nicky Mills.  The truth is I have no previous relationship with this guy.  We really don't know each other at all.  I have seen him wrestle before coming to TNT, and I've seen him wrestle in TNT.  I know that he is a good wrestler, and I know that I would want him on my side rather than against me in any fight.  This fight against Terror X will not be easy, and I know that I can count on this man to stand by my side and fight against this trio who has caused so much grief to myself, and the rest of TNT Wrestling.
 

 

Wow, that was quite a speech you just said there Nic.  But I'd like to direct your attention to a single member of Terror X, that person being the self proclaimed leader, and probably the man that the other two men look to as a leader.  This man being Big Boss.  He has come out and said straight out that you are nothing but a Paper Champion.  He has come out and proclaimed that he is the number one contender to you title.  He has come out and said that you are nothing, and that he can easily dismantle you, and dethrone you.

And you're going to ask me what I think right?

That's right.

Well I'll be glad to tell you what I think.  I'll be glad to tell all the fans what I think.  Most of all though, I'd be glad to tell Big Boss what I think.  His name calling, means nothing to me.  He wants to call me a Paper Champion, great.  I'm glad he is so witty that he came up with that insult.  I'm glad that he has shown everyone how intelligent he is by insulting me so dearly, that he has called me the one name that I hate more than any, a Paper Champion.

But really, let me get back to what I really wanted to say.  Let me get back to the issue at hand, and not petty insults that mean absolutely nothing.  Big Boss claims that all they wanted to do was get revenge from Downfall?  Alright, I can believe that.  I know how frustrating it is to lose to someone you want to be better than, but just can't bring yourself to the greatness of this opponent of yours.  So you take out your anger on them, you attack them.  I've been there before, and I've done the same thing before.  I know they wanted revenge and that's why they attacked me like that, but that's not the only reason.  It was also because they wanted to soften me up.  They know that they cannot beat me when I'm at my best.  They know they cannot beat me when I'm wrestling with a healed body and a clear mind.  I know they won't admit to that, and I know they will claim it was solely for revenge, fine, I can buy that, I'll believe that.

But Big Boss, you claim that I'm nothing, that I'm lucky to have survived this long as the champion.  It's funny, I really don't see it that way.  I see it like this.  The way I see it is, I've held the title for two months now, and believe me, that was no fluke.  I think it's nearly impossible for my title reign to be a fluke if you've seen how well I've defended this title of mine.  But if you want to call it lucky, I can understand.  But I think that if I manage to hold onto the title for yet another month, and I manage to defend it against whomever I am pitted against over the next month, I can be considered one of the best TNT Wrestling Champions of all time, and I can be considered one of the best wrestlers in TNT Wrestling long and illustrious history.  Oh, and by the way, I have only lost one match since my return to the new era of TNT Wrestling, and if I remember correctly the victor received quite a bit of help from a friend of his, all of those victories I don't think was a fluke.

Another thing I remember is that I have yet to lose to anyone from Terror X.  Is that a fluke too Big Boss?  You claim that you and Terror X are the best wrestlers in the world, and that you will take command of TNT Wrestling.  How do you plan to do this if you cannot beat one person, one measly person?  And Big Boss, since when have you been the number one contender?  What have you been able to do that will allow you to merit being the second best wrestler in the company?  This is certainly self-proclaimed Big Boss, this is certainly something you have manufactured in your brain.  As for handing you the World Title, that might be the single stupidest thing I have ever heard.  Not only from you, but from anyone.  You know saw a baby in a stroller on the way into the building.  I stopped to say hello to the older brother and sign an autograph for him.  I then looked at the baby in the stroller.  He mumbled some baby jargon at me as only a baby can.  The jargon that baby spewed makes more sense than most of the words you spew out of your mouth.  At least the baby has an excuse for making no sense.  Unfortunately for you, you don't.

Well Nic you answered most of my questions for me in your two monologues.  If you keep doing this I might be soon out of job.  You can conduct interviews for yourself.

Well when I get angered by something, I pretty much just say whatever is on my mind.  If it answers some of your questions, then so be it.

Well I do have one more question for you Nic.  That will be concerning this Sunday's Mayhem.

Ah yes, Mayhem.  This is the day Marcel has decided to give me off.  He has decided to give me two of the worst wrestlers in TNT wrestling to wrestle against.  I have to waste my time with Richard Mennie and Slickster.  I really hope there will be no tagging in this match.   I will be bored enough as it is with these two pieces of garbage.  Marcel, I want to thank you again for giving me the night off.  I will make the best of it.  As for the other half of my night, I will be a lumberjack as Gravedigger takes on Fozz.  While Fozz has impressed me over the last few weeks, I know what Gravedigger is possible of, and I know that Fozz will be no match for Gravedigger.  This match also gives me a chance to exact some revenge of my own on Terror X.  You see they will be at ringside as well.  I think I might just have to wander over to them and cause a little altercation.  Not only will it make for great TV, but it'll also give me a chance to do what I've wanted to do for oh so long now, and that's put the screws to Terror X.  Not in the ring, but in a pure fight.

Well I didn't even get to ask you that question.

I apologize once again.  I didn't mean to cut you off like that, I just couldn't help it.

I understand.  Good luck on Sunday day, and have a great week.

Oh you know I will.
