*The scene opens in the studio of Grow Omaha, the two hosts are sitting next to each other and to their left sits Maniac. They make small talk for a moment before getting started.*
Jeff Beals: Hello and welcome to Grow Omaha, I'm Jeff Beals and with me always is my co-host Trenton Magid.
Trenton Magid: Great to be here as always Jeff..
Jeff Beals: Today we have a special show for you as you all know the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance will be coming to Oklahoma on the 12th to bring us some hard-hitting action. With us today is a former two-time HWA world champion, a former HWA extreme champion, and a former HWA United States champion, please welcome Maniac
Maniac: Thanks guys, glad to be here.
Trenton Magid: Our other guest should be here any minute.
Maniac: What other guest?
*While Maniac looks around William Draconis steps off the elevator he walks towards the studio. He walks in and behind Maniac as he sits down across from Maniac and to the right of the host.*
Jeff Beals: Our other guest former HWA Tag Team Champion. William the Dragon Draconis.
Dragon: Thanks for having me.
*William looks over at Maniac with a confused look on his face.*
Trenton Magid: You both look surprised. Do we call you Draconis, Dragon, or William?
Dragon: You can call me William, that is fine but why is Maniac here?
*Trenton and Jeff laugh as they look at both Dragon and Maniac have annoyed looks on their faces.*
Jeff Beals: Sorry guys, your boss Butch Parker instructed to not tell you that the other is coming in fear the other wouldn't show. And Mr. Parker wanted me to remind you two to keep it civil and professional during the show.
*Maniac huffing, crosses his arms.*
Maniac: That sack of shit!
Trenton Magid: Remember, we are on the radio here.
Maniac: Fine, let's just get this over with
Jeff Beals: Ok, well guys we have here a few questions asked by fans all over the world. We'll ask the questions and you each answer, sound good?
*Not giving either a chance to answer, they
begin.*
Trenton Magid first question, who do you think will win? Heat or Nuggets?
*Maniac gags at the word nugget and after clearing his throat he continues.*
Maniac: I could care less, I don't watch basketball
*William begins to laugh as he looks over at Maniac who almost looks like he might vomit.*
Dragon: Oh this is priceless the fact that Maniac and I agrees on something.
*Jeff looks at Trenton and then looks for another question to ask as Maniac just glares and William as he mocks Maniac for a quick laugh.*
Jeff Beals: If you had to wrestle one person for the rest of your life, who would be the best and who would be the worst?
*Dragon looks at Jeff and Trenton as he tries to think of an answer.*
Dragon: If it's HWA past or present I think I would like to get my hands on Sean Parker the worst would be Stu-E. If outside of HWA I would love to face Cody Rhodes the worst would be Chad Gable.
Maniac: For me, in HWA past or present it'd be Thane Givens. The worst I've already wrestled, Bryan Deas. Outside the HWA it'd be Kenny Omega, the worst X-Pac
Trenton Magid: Ouch, nice choices gentlemen. Next question, Are you concerned that all this chitter chatter is just building you both up to a match that just can't deliver on the hype?
Maniac: Absolutely not, I mean everyone thought that about the match between lucky charms and I and look how well that turned out?
*Maniac laughs.*
Maniac: I'm sure Draconis will agree though our match will definitely live up to the hype and then some, we're going to tear it down.
*William looks over to Maniac and nods. As a smile shows up on his face.*
Dragon: Oh yes Maniac is correct we will blow the roof off of this Omaha arena. Our match will make everyone forget about any other match.
Trenton Magid: Jeff are we even sure they hate each other?
Jeff Beals: Yes Trenton their actions are less foe vs foe and more like undecided friends. But back to the questions. Do you worry that after the match is finished, Neither of you can move on from each other?
*William looks over at Maniac and the back over to Jeff and Trenton. William closes his fist and cracks his knuckles.*
Dragon: Haven't you guys figured it out yet that the only reason we are in this match is because they are trying to make Maniac forget about as he calls him lucky charms. So after this match I will win then keep moving forward.
*William looks at Maniac and taunts him by pointing at him with signing 3 and 0.*
Trenton Magid: Maniac?
*Maniac chuckles, shaking his head.*
Maniac: After this match where I will have MY hand raised in victory because I don't rely on my size or record, yes I'll be able to move on. Like Draconis just implied, lucky charms and I have unfinished business.
Jeff Beals: Well let's just hope it's not another Chicago incident. Next question, If you win what are your plans? And if you lose, what are your plans?
Maniac: Well I think we just covered that for me, continue my unfinished business with lucky charms. And if Butch, Hans, captain cosplay, or ANYONE else gets in my way or tries to stop me what I do to them will seem like child's play compared to what I have in store for lucky charms.
Dragon: I don't plan on losing, but my plans are all the keep winning matches as I work towards greatness. I believe I need to keep looking for other great matches.
Trenton Magid: Let's keep going with these questions. Do you envision a bond being created between you throughout the carnage?
*William looks at Maniac and then thinks about his answer.*
Dragon: A bond not really but respect I believe that we could garner respect. After the carnage we put each other thru. I will have grand props and wait and see what he does to get a hold of lucky charms.
*Maniac nods his head in agreement.*
Maniac: Well said Draconis, I totally agree. I also believe that mutual respect will be formed from the carnage that will be our match.
Jeff Beals: Whoa, that's two things you guys agreed on now. I don't know, I think you two will end up being friends after all. Anyway, next question. Are you even concerned about the promotion if you take it to far?
Maniac: I'm not going to lie Jeff, the thought always lingers in my mind that I'm going to do something that will be the end of the HWA but that's one of the things about chaos that I love. The unpredictability of it all, throwing caution to the wind and doing whatever it takes to win.
Dragon: Yes I do worry that if we jump too far into the chaos as Maniac says. We will cause too much for Butch and Wisdom Parker. The funny thing is I asked them for a way to keep the carnage locked away in Hell in the Cell.
Trenton Magid: So you tried to have a special match but have not heard yes or no. Why because of the cage match crazy. Our next question How many big matches do you really think you have left?
*William looks around the room as he rolls his shoulders. He cracks his neck as he takes a moment to think about the question.*
Jeff Beals: Is that a difficult question for you William?
Dragon: No its not a difficult question but in my mind I will have many big matches. But at my age will see how much time is taken after a match like this. Also gotta remember it's against Maniac who lives in chaos and carnage.
*Maniac chuckles.*
Maniac: I'm no fool Trenton, I know that everyone will face their mortality sooner or later and I'm no different. You know, I wish I could give you a definite number but I can't. I don't know how many big matches I think I have left, I guess we'll find out when I drop dead in the ring.
Jeff Beals: Very dark but honest, I like it! Our next question is directed at you Maniac but of course Draconis if you have an opinion we'd love to hear it. So Maniac, are you worried that you may be taking your eye off the ball with all this focus on Draconis?
Maniac: Not at all, like I said to Draconis in an earlier promo while I am currently focused on my match with him I haven't forgotten about lucky charms and our unfinished business. And as I stated earlier, we will continue what we started in San Francisco.
*William leans back in his chair as he listens to Maniac talk about Matt. He shakes his head.*
Dragon: I believe that even though he is focused on me right now. He keeps pulling back a little cause he wants to get his hands on Lucky Charms. But as I tell him in promos I hope he's not losing a little bit of focus on me cause I will make him pay.
Trenton Magid: Our other question is directed towards you Draconis. But of course Maniac if you have an opinion or thought please let us all know. Tom from Kentucky asked you have the tour bus of yours Fallen. Must be boring driving everywhere, what do you do to amuse yourself besides spending time with family?
Jeff Beals: Tom I think you're confused. But William, what do you have to say?
Dragon: Hey Tom, are you an idiot? Do I look like a skinny little rocker who has to wear a mask? I'm getting sick of people mixing myself up with my former tag team partner. I have a former member of the old SOA Draven Draconis drive my tour bus because he never wants to be a wrestler again for medical reasons. But he wanted to make sure his niece and nephews are safe. So he drives and I spend time with my kids and adopted kid or if I'm alone I Like to smoke good cigar and drink some fine SOA Moonshine while listening to some good music.
Jeff Beals: sounds like the perfect way to relax. I hope Tom learns the difference between you and Fallen.
Maniac: Look where the question came from, Kentucky. The place is crawling with inbred idiots, almost as bad as Texas and all those hicks that inhabit it. Oops, that's where your from isn't on Draconis? I mean you definitely can tell.
Trenton Magid: OK fellas, remember we're keeping it civil and professional. We're coming to the end of our show so one last question. Again, it's aimed at Maniac but Draconis feel free to chime in. Maniac, with you always wearing your face paint, are you aware you have become something of a poster child in the LGBTQ+ community for all of those who have to live their lives behind their own masks of gender and sexual orientation? How do you feel about this?
*Maniac has a surprised look on his face, he scratches the back of his head as he thinks about his answer.*
Maniac: Wow, I never thought of that actually. Well, I'm glad if I inspire people to be who they are. It's always been very important to me that I always stay true to who I am, and I encourage anyone and everyone to do the same. Don't EVER be ashamed of who you are or of your sexual orientation, people's thoughts and opinions doesn't matter all that matters is that you're happy with yourself.
*William looks at Maniac and then back at Jeff and Trenton he gets an evil little smirk on his face.*
Dragon: Yes that is a perfect Politically correct answer then Maniac. Yes, be whoever you want to be. A hick like myself or a painted leader of the LGBTQ+ community. But that is all I'll say because we have to be professional here.
*Jeff Beals and Trenton Magid start to see that Maniac and William are about sick of being close to each other. Trenton stands up and shakes Williams Hand and looks at Maniac. Jeff and Willian are waiting to see what happens. Maniac smiles and stands, walking over closer to Draconis.*
Maniac: Well then, I guess that's it. All that's left now is our match...which I WILL win Draconis. There's nothing you can do to change the outcome, I'll do whatever it takes to win even if it means sacrificing my body to do so.
*William looks down on Maniac.*
Dragon: Yes that's it is correct. You are right all that is left now is our match...but I WILL win Maniac. You keep telling yourself that because the outcome will be the same. You will do whatever it takes even sacrificing your body but I will still get the 1...2...3 victory.
*They both turn and walk from the radio studio. Both Jeff and Trenton watch as the two men leave the studio and don't breath until they're both out of sight.*
Jeff Beals: Well that's all the time we have today, we hope you enjoyed the show. For Trenton Magid, I'm Jeff Beals.
*They go off the air and both men remove their headsets, giving each other a look of relief that the show is over as the scene fades to black*
