[Nic Totopoulous is seen walking into the building before a UWA non televised live event. He walks down the hall, he doesn't have a bag or anything so he is not here to compete, he is just here to meet up with people, and to be backstage. Totopoulous runs into one of the road agents backstage.]
Road Agent - Hey Nic. How's it goin'?>
Totopoulous - Not too bad, yourself?<
Pretty Good thanks. Hey, I saw that interview at the rink. I had no idea that you knew Mark Messier. When did you meet him?
Well, I have known Mark for a while now. We've been good friends for a long time.
Really.
That's great. Now, my son is a huge New York Rangers fan, and he
loves Mark Messier. I was wondering if you might be able to get me
an autograph?
What?!? Is that the only reason you stopped me? It was so you could get an autograph from Mark Messier? Why wouldn't he want a Nic Totopoulous autograph? I mean really. Geez!
Well, you already signed a poster for him.
Oh, right, I remember that. Ummm.... Then sure, I guess I can talk to Mark for you.
Thanks a lot man. You just made Jeff's day.
Well, it was my pleasure. Later.
Bye.
[Totopoulous
continues to make his way down the hallway. Believe it or not, there
is a gym in the arena. Nic Totopoulous opens the doors to the gym
and walks in. He is just about to start working out, when suddenly
someone walks into the room.]
Hi, how's it going?
Interviewer
- Pretty good. Yourself?
Not as good
as I was a few minutes ago.
Oh, is this
a bad time? I can come back.
No, no, don't
bother, you're here now. You have some questions?
Well this isn't
exactly an official interview, it's more like I'm getting information for
a news article.
So it's an
interview?
Uhh...
Ya I guess so.
Alright, where
do you want to begin?
Well, I wanted
to begins with P.U.N.K.S. I wanted to start by asking why you chose
to join with P.U.N.K.S. It seemed as though you were making a name
for yourself here in UWA on your own. It seemed as if you were doing
great here, and didn't need anyone's help.
Well, I agree
with you. I was doing very well on my own. I was and still
have not been pinned or made to submit, I won the TV Title belt making
me the best wrestler on TV. But me and Blader go way back.
We both used to compete in TNT Wrestling. Back in the day we were
mortal enemies. We hated each other because he represented the WUXF,
and I represented TNT Wrestling. But through that time of hate, and
through all the times we were in the ring, I gained the utmost respect
for Blader Skum. And he the same for me. When I came to UWA,
right away he asked if I wanted to join P.U.N.K.S., but of course I was
reluctant to join. I wanted to make it on my own. Then after
a while we become friends backstage. Then I was introduced to Viper,
and the three of us became good friends. I was really a part a P.U.N.K.S.
before it was official. But we just figured that I was going to end
up there eventually, so why not now? There was no reason why not,
so then it happened. And I am a good drummer, and they needed someone
to play in the band.
Wow, I had
no idea that you were friends well before you joined with them. I
would also like to know what you think of our current World Champ, Wall2K.
He has been on a role lately, and has looked very impressive. Can
I get a few comments on how you feel about him?
How do I feel?
Well, you are right, he is on a role. He is looking better in the
ring than I have ever seen him, and he seems to be getting better everytime
he is out there. He has impressed me tremendously. Now I have
had a match against him, a match in which he put me through hell and back.
It might have been one of my most gruelling matches here in UWA.
But I would love to have the opportunity to face off against him once again.
I know that he is great, but truly believe that I am little bit better,
and that I could beat him.
Well, what
about a man that you face this week on Rampage, The Cosmos. How do
you feel about him?
Well, I think
I'm going to sound like a broken record here because I've said it enough,
but I'll say it again to amuse you. I think that he is a good wrestler,
no doubt about it. I don't think his goals are realistic though.
For him to be able to become the World Champ, he is going to have to beat
me this week. Is he going to? No. Can be beat Wall?
Maybe, but can he beat me? No. He says that I am the UWA supposed
future. That is almost right. I am without a doubt the UWA's
future. I am the best rookie to come to the UWA for the longest time.
I have skill, I have size, I have knowledge, and most of all I have confidence.
People have told him that I will be a future World Champion. Well,
people would be right then. But I have to get through The Cosmos
first is what I think I was supposed to understand. Well, that's
fine by me. If I can get through this supposed wrestling legend,
the I guess that I can beat anyone. Wait, he hasn't won a match in
about two months. What am I worrying about? He's obviously
garbage. But I think that The Cosmos is looking ahead too far.
He is looking past me and straight at Wall2K. He shouldn't look past
me, and I don't want him to. I want him to see this match as the
most important match of his life. I want him to come at me with everything
he's got, because I will do the same with him. And as for his recovery
from insanity, congratulations, I'm proud of you. I wish you the
best in your sane life, but that still doesn't mean that you will beat
me. All that means is that you will be able to concentrate, and then
when you lose it will be more clear to you than any other loss. I
realise that you are a veteran, and that you have years of experience in
the pro ranks compared to my few months. That's fine, I'm up to the
challenge. I dare you to try your best. I dare you to be embarrassed.
Anything else you want to know about?
Ummm... Ya,
one more thing, something about Jason Jet.
There's nothing
to say about him.
Well then,
thank you for your time.
Well, you are
welcome, I'll see you later.
Later.
Finally I can
get my workout in without distractions.
