*The scene opens at The Park Gym in San Francisco, California. Maniac is in the ring with one of the gym trainers preparing for his match while also working off any ring rust. Mandy is set up to start shooting and Greg readies the camera. Greg counts down and gives Mandy the signal.*
Mandy: Mandy Banks here coming to you on the HWA YouTube channel. We're at The Park Gym here in beautiful San Francisco, California where Maniac is currently training for his upcoming match against Matt Miller. We've recently heard from Matt, now let's see if we can get a response from Maniac.
*Mandy walks over to the ring, watching the training session for a moment before interrupting.*
Mandy: Hey Maniac, care to take a break and give a response to your opponent?
*Maniac stops his training, sliding out of the ring he grabs a water taking a bug drink before he heads over to Mandy.*
Maniac: So he finally responded did he? Let's see it then.
*Mandy pulls out her phone, bringing up Matt Millers promo. Maniac watches intently, smiling as he takes in Matt's words. After it's done Maniac throws his head back laughing. *
Maniac: Underestimate you? Is that what I'm doing Matt? Is it because I refer to you as "young Matthew" sometimes?
*Maniac uses his fingers to emphasize the quotation. *
Maniac: Oh Matt, not once have I claimed an easy victory over you, nor do I think so. I see the hunger in your eyes, the want of the win and to feel the admiration of the crowd as well as your colleagues. But unfortunately it won't come for you, why you ask? It's because you're underestimating yourself.
*Maniac takes another drink of water and continues. *
Maniac: Deep down Matt whether you want to admit it or not you are doubting yourself. You're doubting your abilities to get it done in the ring. Like I said, not once have I said or thought that I could have an easy victory over you I've even given you props. Your own self-doubt is eating you alive and it's going to cost you at Havoc. No doubt this is a new era within the HWA, an era that will surely launch HWA into immortality but will you be apart of it Matt? It's hard to say, you claim that this is an era of no limits but you are limiting yourself with your doubt. What height are you going to climb? What roads are you going to take? You talk about doing this and that but you're not even really sure if you can beat me. Don't bullshit me son, that's what this business is about...winning. If you're not in it to be the best then why be here at all? You want to ask if I'm willing to do the same? I have, been there done that anything and everything that you can think of I've done kid. I've broken bones, bled, sweat, nearly died numerous times just to get the win. And not once was there any doubt in my mind going out to that ring or even before that. So go ahead and pretend that you are not doubting yourself, pretend that it doesn't matter to you whether you get the win or not when we both know that's what this is all about. And you can deny it up and down all you want but that darkness and hatred that you hold so deep down within you I will bring it out and show you and the rest of the world what I've been talking about all along. There are no riddles, no cryptic messages this is a straightforward message. Your self-doubt will be your downfall Matt, and at havoc I look forward to proving it. See you soon indeed, I can't wait.
*Maniac sneers at the camera, his eyes focused straight at the camera and you can see his blue eyes starting to turn red and walks away as the scene fades to black.*
