[Scene opens outside an immense mansion. The camera pans around the expansive building, as it glows in the weak early evening light. A few birds sing to each other, but eventually quiet down as the camera zooms in to the main door. A servant dressed formally in a black suit, nods casually to the camera and signals it through the opening door. Inside is a an interior furnishing to challenge that of the White House; precious mahogany flooring, marble walls, gold daubed lavishly on the staircase on the flooring anywhere appropriate or not.]

[On the walls are huge portraits of Slash Tannon: smiling with gold encased around his waist, across his shoulder, around his neck. Lined up against these are blown-up photos from scenes in Slash's wrestling career. The three most prominent are those from his beginning at Attitude World Wrestling Federation, a young man in his late teens, undefeated, unbowed, and uncut. Next to this is one that is split in two, we see Slash holding the Platinum championship in the Sin Wrestling and the World Title of the WPW. The final picture and most recent is from the SW weekly show Impulse ; Slash Tannon hugging Mike Phantasy who had jsut won the Platinum Title.]

[An impatient shout ends these reveries, and the camera ambles along to the right and pauses outside an old, oaken door. A grunt from within grants entrance and the door opens and the camera moves in. We see a dimly lit room, the lighting muted and the curtains drawn, the interior while not cheap, is markedly less luscious as the hallway. The walls are a deep brown of durable oak, yet unadorned by furnishings or pictures; the room is empty of furniture apart from a large steel desk in the centre, which dominates the room. Behind the desk sits "Total Impact" Slash Tannon, as he rests his chin on his hand in thought. He is dressed in a dark, casual suit.. Instead of offering the cameraman a seat or a drink, he begins talking slowly.]

'Normally...I'd probably start by acclaiming my achievement of winning gold, defeating all before me and crushing my adversaries�but today�.no. And then I'd go on remarking my fans, and thanking them for being behind me 100 percent...but that is not neccesarry right now. Today is about History...History the things we�ve done, the things we shouldn�t have, and the things we wish we had.'

[Slash pauses, and taps his finger lightly on the steel table, sending a faint tinkling sound echoing through the room�]

'Mike...look at me. Do I look of a man that is depressed of his latest defeat? Do I share the look of a man that would like to quit...because of a simple title loss? Or do I have the look of a man that found last night to be the right, the precise time, to...how should I say...Mold-A-Champion. The one thing I wanted to do...the one thing I wanted to accomplish, was capturing the Platinum Title....and I succeded. And then...you...you stole it...But did I feel hate...of course not. Do you know what I saw? Did you know what I felt? Potential.

What possessed me to force myself up after each blow? Because I had something I needed to doing, I needed to show you, that you couldn�t keep me down, that you can�t dominate me, you couldn�t drive me out. Once I�d shown you that, once I�d proven my dominance AGAIN, then I could be ushered out of the picture. It didn�t matter so much then, I�d teach you a valuable lesson�.that was personal. This time round, this PPV has been about business; from the very beginning I�ve started my desire for the SW World Title, for the gold, the bragging rights of being el numero uno, and by crushing all in my path, I�ve done what I set out to do. So you see Mike looking at my history I�ve done what I came to do, there�s nothing here for me now�apart from one thing.'

[Slash ceases his tapping and looks gravely at the camera�.]

'You.'

[Slash sits back in the chair and smiles briefly�]

'I know, that I couldn't be a champion forever, so I had to find a man that I thought could take that title, and hold it like I did, hold it as mine, and as the fans. Deep down inside Mike..you're good. You just want happiness, your misunderstood. I feel that if I can respect you and like you, so can the fans. What I am doing is simply...molding a champion. You were the one I chose..you Mike, and you have that belt around your waist....I've done my job....

I've done...my job!'
