[Nic Totopoulous is sitting backstage in a chair watching people walk by.  He is wearing a black Totopoulous T-shirt, jeans and black boots.  He has a small bandage on his forehead, a small cut on his cheek, and a large bandage on his left forearm.  He has his arms crossed, almost as if trying to hide the bandage on his arm.  He has a somewhat angered look on his face as he continues to watch people walk by.  A man with a microphone walks up next him.  He takes a seat in the chair next to him.  This man is clearly a UWA interviewer, and would obviously like Totopoulous to answer some questions for him.]

Interviewer - Nic Totopoulous, can I have a word with you please?

Totopoulous - I don't see why not.   I'm sure that there are questions that you want answered.  I'm sure that there are some things that I would like to get off of my chest as well.  Have you some intelligent questions for me?

Well, I'm not sure how intelligent they are, but they are the usual questions.  I'll try not to ask something completely stupid.

Fair enough.  Ask away.

Well, just to recap for the fans out there, because I'm sure that you already know about it, Maniac, disguised as a security guard at a police station, threw you through a window at this police station.  Now I can see some of the injuries that you have sustained.  You are clearly cut from the glass, I was wondering if you could give us an update on your condition, and if you would be able to let us know when you will be competing again.

As you can see a have a cut on me cheek here and my forehead.  You can see the bandage on my left forearm here.  I have a number of stitches in that spot there.  I have a laceration on my upper back and on my right calf.  As for more internal injuries, I do have slight internal bleeding.   I also have a cracked rib.  I also sustained a concussion, and that is the injury that will be keeping me out of action.  All the other injuries are superficial.  Even the internal bleeding isn't that bad, and that injury should be alright by Thursday, but my concussion is what's keeping me out.  Now it's not a bad concussion, but I just can't take any chances in this point of my career.  I am currently in the prime of not only me wrestling career, but of my life.  I can't jeopardize my career because I am angry.  I need to recover, and then get the revenge Maniac has coming to him.

Well that sounds pretty good actually Nic.  It looked a lot worse when you were lying on the floor with glass surrounding you, and in a pool of your own blood.  It looked like you lost a lot of blood.

Well I did lose a lot of blood.  I mean when I got to the hospital that was their main concern.  They also had to remove large amount of glass from my back and arms.  I did not come to consciousness until the next day.  The only person that was there was Wall2K.  This man has quickly become a good friend of mine, and he has been right by my side for the last month, and I will continue to be by his.  But this takes me to another point.  You would think that someone from the UWA staff would be with me to find out if I was okay.  I being a former Undisputed Champion, I being one of the premier athletes not just in this company, but in this industry.  You would think, not because they care about me, but because they care about the well-being of the company that someone would be there.   Even if their motives for being there were totally self-serving, you would think someone would be there.  Yet there was no one there.

Well that is surprising Nic.

Don't suck up to me.

Sorry.

You will be sorry if you keep sucking up to me.  As I was saying, I didn't even get a phone call.  For all I know I might be booked for this Thursday because this is the first I have told anyone other than Wall2K about my condition.  If I am booked though I won't be able to compete.  I will be ready in a week or two though.  I hope to be ready for the Pay Per View, October Terror.

Do you have an opponent yet for that show?

Not as of yet, but I know who I want my opponent to be.

Who would that be?

Who do you think?

Well I would have to guess Maniac.

Well you're damn right it's Maniac.   For crying out loud that man threw me through a pain of glass.  I have suffered a lot of pain because of him.  And it's not even pain that I am afraid of, or worried about.  I can handle pain, it's being injured that I'm afraid of.  I can wrestle through pain, I do it nearly every day of my life.  I cannot however wrestle through a serious injury.  This concussion, I cannot wrestle through something like this.  That is what pisses me off.  I would wrestle Maniac in any type of match, at any time, any place were it not for my concussion.  But you know what, if the doctors are right I will be cleared to wrestle by October Terror.  If I am cleared, and everything goes as planned, Maniac will have the match of his life.   Maniac will feel pain like never before.

Well, I would also like to ask you about the problems you have been having with the police lately.  You have allegedly been getting into the problems with the law lately, and I was wondering if you would be able to outline some of those problems.

No.

Why not?

My personal life is non of your business.   The things that I do outside of the confines of the UWA are no ones business but my own, and the people that I choose to share the information with.  I do not wish to share this information with you, with the UWA, or with the fans of the UWA.  I don't think the fans deserve to hear what I have to say.  I have been booed, attacked, had garbage thrown at me by these fans.  What do I owe them?  Tell me, what do I owe them?

Well...Uhh...Nothing?

That's right nothing!  They have always been against me.  Well I am against them, so I do not wish to speak about this any longer.

Alright, do you have any final words that you want Maniac to hear?

Yes, yes I do.  Now Maniac I know that you have probably heard all of this before from other people.  I know that you have heard people say that they are going to do this and that and the other thing.   Maybe you didn't make it as personal with them though.  I feel as though I own you Maniac.  I feel as if I owe you some pain in return for what you have done to me.   Maniac, you had better sleep with one eye open my friend.  You had better prey that the next time you see me is in the ring.  I have not problem with hurting you Maniac.  I have no problem with attacking you outside of the ring.  I have no problem with getting revenge, and I usually get my revenge in manners that inflict great amounts of pain.  When we finally meet in the ring, you will be praying for the end of your wide awake nightmare.  Maniac, I'll see you in the ring, were I will play God.  I am an aggressive perfector, remember that.  Maniac, I won't forget your face, so that I can rearrange it.  Now please, leave me be.

Yes sir, and thank you for being so cooperative.

Don't get used to it.  I'm doped up on so many pain killers right now I'm not sure if I can even get up.  I don't even remember what I just said.

Alright, well thanks again.

[The interviewer gets up out of his chair.  He walks down the hall away from Totopoulous.  The cameraman zooms in on Totopoulous' face as he stares off into the distance.  The scene fades to black.]
