GARY BLOOMFIELD: “Ladies and gentlemen, we promised we would give you an update on Pantaro’s condition and we will get to that in just a moment, but I have just received word that Terry Schneider is trying to catch up with Brawler Beckett. We are going to check in with Terry now.”
*Terry Schneider and camera man waiting in the backstage hall near the heel locker room door.*
Terry: *into a cellphone* “… honestly don’t know what he was thinking, Gena. We’re going to get to the-”
Camera man: “Terry, he’s here!”
Terry: “Gotta go. Bye.” *hangs up and pockets phone, grabs mic from off-camera* “Thanks. Mr. Beckett? Mr. Beckett! Would you tell us what happened out there?”
Beckett: “‘What happened?’ Is the match over already?”
Terry: “Yes! Pantaro’s been taken to the trainer’s room and-”
Beckett: “Terrence, a word of advice: if you’re going to be a proper news man, follow the action. The action is there, not here.” *Beckett starts to enter the locker room*
Terry: “You know what I mean, Mr. Beckett. What about that vile atta-”
Beckett: “Another bit of advice, chum: Do not F*** with me. Now piss off.” *slams door shut*

*Snow limps into the medical area, where Pantaro is still laying on a backboard, neck braced and tied down. Pausing for a second to steel himself, he walks over, and catches Pantaro’s eyes. The two clasp hands for a moment. Snow looks over to the trainer.*
TRAINER: “He’s suffered contusions to the back around the spine and he’s unable to speak, but there’s no permanent damage.”
*Snow turns his attention back to Pantaro.*
SNOW: “He crossed a line tonight. You focus on getting better. The Blood Brothers are back, and we’re not going to let a little thing like this get in our way.”
SNOW: “Bartholomew Beckett. This,” *Snow gestures to Pantaro*” will not go without response. You are a coward, a cheat, a snake, and completely undeserving of any respect whatsoever. You don’t belong in the ring, you don’t belong in this company, you don’t belong anywhere but behind bars.”
SNOW: “You can duck me all you want. Eventually, I WILL track you down. And when I do, there will be a reckoning.”
SNOW: “Now get those cameras out of here.”
*Snow grabs a chair and sits beside Pantaro as the camera switches back to Gary Bloomfield at ringside.*
GARY : “Certainly a positive outcome for Pantaro as his injuries could have been much more severe. All of us at PWA wish him a quick and full recovery. As for Brawler Beckett, this attack is going to have some very dire consequences if Snow has anything to say about it. Keep it here, folks, Holiday vs. Starr is next!”
