Backstage Interview After Assault

[Ameronth]

TERRY SCHNIEDER: “I am backstage at the PWA Arena with Derrik Arzon, and Derrik, you have some strong words about what happened tonight. Give us your thoughts.”

ARZON: “Terry, the Union just does not know when they’ve been beat. PWA beat them back at Reckoning Day definitively, but these thugs just don’t know when to stop! Ruining the match between Fury and Pennyworth was bad enough, but that brutal assault on Brian Fury after the match was heinous! I don’t know why Damion Back keeps these guys on the roster, but I’m not gonna stand for it! Brian, I know we’re not friends, but I’ve stood against the Union since Day One. I’ll be damned if they think they can run roughshod over us again and not get any pushback! I’ll tell you this, if I was Brian Fury, I’d wanna punch the Union in mouth as hard as I could! Brian, I’m not saying you need my help and I know you fight alone, but the Union has numbers and they’ve shown they’re gonna use them to their advantage every time. So I want you to know that I’ve got your back. That’s it, Terry.”

TERRY: “There you have it, Derrik Arzon vows to stand against the Union and with Brian Fury!”

***The scene opens in front of a purple and gold PWA curtain. Broadcast journalist Ronnie Stockholm is standing center screen, holding a microphone.***

STOCKHOLM: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the PWA Rewind. We just witnessed an amazing start to season 4 and I can’t wait to see..”

***Suddenly Ronnie Stockholm is shoved hard from stage-right and is forced off-frame. The camera jostles as Akira Wyld commandeers the broadcast. Gripping the camera with one hand he gets entirely too close to the screen, a sneer on his stubbled face.***

AKIRA: “Oh HELL no! You think you’re smart Arzon? You think you’re some big man now? All independent and confident and fighting for what’s right? Who the hell do you think you are you little twerp? You think you have the cache to just call out the Union like that? You think you’ve earned the right to act like you’re some big man on campus? Brian Fury is a pain in my ass, but at least he’s EARNED my respect by walking the walk for three seasons. What have YOU done? Two seasons ago you could barely tie your shoes without an instruction manual and now you’re standing up like some... some... standard bearer?! Last season Brawler Beckett beat you within an inch of your life, but if you want some more, then YOU’RE ON. Consider your challenge accepted. Next week, Brawler Becket and I are going to take you and Brian Fury apart! We’re ending this before it starts. The Union is unstoppable and by the end of the season, you two won’t even register as a blip on our radar. Now... back to your regularly scheduled program.”

***Wyld throws the microphone back to Ronnie Stockholm and storms angrily off stage.***
