[Nic Totopoulous is backstage at a non televised live UWA event.  He is in the promo area as he waits to get his cue before he begins his promo.  He is once again wearing a bandage on his forehead, the scab on his cheek is nearly gone.  He also have a large bandage on his arm covering a large laceration.  He has a Nic Totopoulous T-Shirt on, blue jeans, and black boots.   He has his long blonde hair tied up in a pony tail.  Just then a man wearing headphones walks onto the screen and tells Totopoulous something.  Then he steps out of the picture.  The promo begins.]

I guess this is the time when I'm supposed to say a few words about how I feel about such people as Maniac, and how I feel about my match this Saturday against the Williams Brothers.  So that is what I am going to do.  This is called a promo, a time where I can promote myself and my views on whatever the hell I want to talk about.  This is part of what I get paid for.  When I signed the contract with the UWA, this was in the job description.  Right now though, I don't feel like talking.  I don't really want to stand in front of this camera and tell everyone how I feel.  I'm just not in the mood.  Just look at me.  I've been beaten down.  I have been hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Physically because of the obvious scars I will be left with after being thrown through the glass by Maniac.  Mentally because I need to be at my best in the ring, and I know that I can't be in this condition.  Emotionally because it hurts knowing that I might not be able to beat Maniac at October Terror.  Not because I'm not good enough, but because I can't compete physically at my best.  Honestly, I want to be at home right now resting my body, my wounds, and my head.  I have a splitting headache right now, and the doctor ordered me to be at home getting my rest.  But here I am, because I have to be.  I figure that I had better make the best of my time here.  I figure, I'd might as well just start now and get it over with as soon as possible.

[Totopoulous looks down at his feet for a moment, then again at the camera.]

Where should I begin?  I think the best place would be to begin with Maniac.  I think that I should begin with last Thursday night on Rampage.  I am told that last Thursday night on Rampage tossed me through a window at the police station.  I am told that he attacked me from behind.  Do you know what type of people attack other people from behind?  Cowards.  That's right Maniac, if you are listening out there, I am calling you a coward.  But you aren't just any kind of coward.  Most cowards will attack from behind, but they won't get dressed up for the attack.  They will attack as themselves.  But you Maniac, you are a different breed of coward.  You are the type I like to refer to as the yellow bellied coward.  That's right, yellow bellied.  You came up with this, this, tremendously sadistic plan, this plan to hurt me.  It took a costume to pull it off.  I mean come on, you wore a costume, where you trying to keep your identity a secret?  Were you afraid that I would find out?  Where you afraid that if I found out I might come after you?  Is that is Maniac?  Are you...chicken?  Maybe, but I don't think so.  I don't know you very well Maniac, but something tells me that you aren't a chicken, not by a long shot.  Maybe not a chicken, but simply afraid of me, and what I might do to you?  No, that's not it either.  You aren't the type that gets scared.  At least not from what I can see.  So what is it?

[Totopoulous stares into the camera and points to himself.]

Is it jealousy?  Are you jealous of all the success I have been having lately Maniac.  I mean ever since I got here, you said it yourself, things really have been going my way.  I started off my UWA career on a very long winning streak, I won the TV title and held it for months, I was the second ever two-time United States Champion, and just last month it climaxed after I beat Freedom Morelez to win the UWA Undisputed Championship.  Only until this past month have I really faltered.  I beat Wall2K, I beat Kevin Cosmos, I beat Eddie Draven, I went to a draw against X-Kalibur, I beat T-Money.  I mean really, my career has been a great success until I lost to Cosmos for the World Title.  But for some reason I don't think that's it either.  You aren't the type that would be jealous.  I mean, you did have what sounds like a great family life.  Maybe that was it.  Maybe your family left you Maniac.  Maybe you didn't choose to leave the good life, maybe it chose to leave you.  Now you want to ruin my life.  You want to my great life by ending my wrestling career, the one thing I have in my life.  You see I don't have a love, I don't have many friends.  People don't like me Maniac.  They all seem to have this tendancy to be jealous of me.  I have great looks, I get all the women I want, I am athletic, I have a great body.  Is that it Maniac?  You want to ruin everyone elses life because your family ruined yours?  Maybe not.  Maybe that isn't it either.  What could it be?

[Totopoulous looks around, then back at the camera.]

While I ponder that for a moment, please allow me to respond to a few other things that have been going on in the life of Totopoulous.  First off, the remarks made by Maniac.  You had a lot to say.  A lot that has to do with the demise of Nic Totopoulous.  Do you honestly forsee my demise Maniac?  Do you see yourself ending my career here?  Even if you do not physically hurt me enought to retire, do you think that I would ever leace the UWA for fear that you could hurt me?  If you do then you are a fool.  I will never keave anyone out of fear, because I fear no one.  You might think you are Satan, or have some sort of connection to Satan.  Well as I tell anyone and everyone that will listen, I am God.  I am not a wrestling God, I am not such a great physical specimin that I could be compared to God.  I am God.  I am God in the ring, I am God outside the ring, and I am God right now.  This is the only reason I will be able to compete against you on at the Pay Per View.  My head injury would have kept any mere mortal out for weeks, amybe even months.  But I on the other had will even be ready for this Saturday against the Williams Brothers.

Speaking of the Williams Brothers on a side note.  They don't seem to be focused on an intergral part of their competition this weekend.  They seem to have forgotten about Nic Totopoulous.  So focused are they on Wall2K, as they should be.   Wall2K is a formidable opponent.  He is one of the best in the business.  But you are forgetting about the best in the business, Nic Totopoulous.  I hope you are focused on me, and not distracted, and not blinded by your rage toward Wall2K.  If you are, I will strike, and it will be fierce.  Prepare or beware boys.  I am looking for nothing but a victory.

[Totopoulous stops and scratches his head for a moment.]

Now Maniac, I know that you are angry about me getting the shot at becoming the number one contender.  I know you claim to want to save me from myself.  I know you want to give me a reality check.  But one simply isn't in order.  I am fine the way I am.  In fact, I am the best the way I am.  No one can stop me when anger and fury runs through my veins.  That is the case right this instant.  The fury that runs through my veins is because of you Maniac.  And I will leave it all in the ring at the Pay Per View.  You can't stop me.  And you will never be able to.

As for why you attacked me from behind, instead of from the front, like a man would, I still have no answer.  This angers me more Maniac.  So Maniac, I'll see you in the ring in two weeks time.

[Totopoulous turns and steps off the screen.  The camera zooms into the background as the scene fades to black.]
