[A female is standing backstage in the interview area backstage at a UWA event.]

Woman - We are waiting here for Nic Totopoulous.  We are going to try and get a few words from him as soon as he arrives.  He is running a little late I guess.

[Just then Nic Totopoulous casually walks up to her.  He is in his wrestling attire, allong with a Nic Totopoulous T-shirt.  He looks her right in the face.]

Excuse me?  Running late?  I am here right on time.  This is when I planned on getting here, so this is when I got here.  Have you got a problem with that, Sweetheart?

Well yes, and please don't call me sweetheart.

[Totopoulous looks down at his feet, and gives his response.]
 

 

You do have a problem with that?  Well I certainly don't think there is anything you can do about it.  You see I am God, I arrive where I want, when I want.  I am never late.  Like I said, I arrive precisely when I plan on arriving.  As for calling you sweetheart, I'll call you whatever the hell I want to call you, you got that?  Do ya?

Umm...  Yes sir.  I do get it.

So why the hell am I here?  What did you want me here for?  I don't enjoy having my time wasted, especially not by a person who is going to inslut, I mean insult me.

Well, for the past two weeks, Maniac has been able to get the best you.  He has attacked you in a variety of ways, and he has injured your head in a serious way.  Now you have a match against him this Sunday night at October Terror.  How is you body holding up from these attacks, and more importantly, how is your head holding up?

Well you know my body is no worse than it usually is.  I am always in constant pain, but that's what this business is all about.  It's about being in pain, and it's about wrestling through it.  The condition of my body is the last of my worries.  As for my head, well, it's not so good.  As much as I hate to admit this, my head isn't where it should be.  I shouldn't have wrestled last Saturday to begin with, but after that attack it was even worse.  My head was in constant pain.  But this week I will be resting, I will be healing, and hopefully it will be okay to go this Sunday night.  But even if I'm not, I still plan on wrestling, and I still plan on beating the living hell out of Maniac.  That man, ahhh...  geezz...  God damn.

[Totopoulous bends over and grabs his head in pain.]

Are...  Are you okay?

Ya, ya.  I'll be fine.  I get this all the time.  Just a sharp pain in my head.  I'll be alright though, don't worry.  What was I saying?

You were saying something about Maniac, about beating him.

Right, I don't really remember.  Just ask me the next question.

Alright.  What I wanted to ask next was, do you plan on trying to retaliate against Maniac this Thursday night?
 

 

Why the hell would I tell you something like that?  That, is none of your business.  Chances are that Maniac will see this footage, and if I tell you, then he will keep an eye out for me.  All Maniac has to know is that sometime between now and Sunday, whether it's on Thursday, on Sunday, or at any time in between, he will pay for what he has done, and he will pay in the worst way.  I actually have a message for Maniac, sleep with one eye open Maniac, because I'm coming for you.

Those are strong words Nic.

Of course they are.  What else would you expect?  I am a strong man, strong men have strong words.  And because of what that man did to me, my words are going to be even stronger than ever.

Well thank you for you time Nic...

That's right you should thank me, but who said I was finished?  This interview is finished when I say it is.  I would like to propose a little something to Maniac.  This little something of course cancerns our match on Sunday.  I propose a stipulation.  I propose, a street fight.  Anything goes, all weapons are allowed.  Because that's the only way you can hurt me right?  You can only hurt me when you attack me from behind, with a weapon.  In a regular match, Maniac has no chance.  So the way I see it, I'll try to even the odds with him.  I'm going to give him a chance to beat me.  So Maniac, if you accept, I would love for our match to be a street fight.

A street fight!  This is big news.  Are you sure that your health will be alright for a match that allows Maniac to hit you in the head with, well, anything?

My health?  I already told you about my health, and I already told you that even in my current condition, I will compete against Maniac this Sunday, no matter what kind of match.  Don't you worry about me.  I'll be alright.

Well, good luck to you then.

I don't need luck.  I have all I need, right here.

[Nic Totopoulous flexes his muscles for the interviewer.]

Of course you do.

Listen, this interview is over.

Well I have going to end it anyway.

It's over, good bye.

Alright.

[Totopoulous turns around and walks away.  The interviewer turn and looks into the camera with an odd look on her face as the scene fades to black.]
