*We open to the zen room of Romano estate, it's a room of relaxation with comfy couches and love seats. The walls are covered in various posters of bands and ones displaying marijuana use. There are side tables next to each each love seat each with am ashtray on it. A big coffee table sits in the center of the room with the couches and love seats around it, sitting on that table is a hookah that Maniac is currently smoking from. He takes a big hit and holds it in for a moment before exhaling the smoke and after doing this a few more times Maniac puts down the hose and sits back enjoying the high from from weed, as he sits there the room suddenly gets cold and from behind can hear the distinct voice of the DreamMaster. It's a mix of a growl and an demonic voice but Maniac recognizesit all the same.*
DreamMaster: The girl is becoming a distraction and a liability, she must be eliminated.
*Maniac's eyes widen and he begins to shake.*
Maniac: B..but what has Mandy done? Can't it not be undone?
*DreamMaster laughs which causes a shiver to snake down Maniac's spine.*
DreamMaster: Not her I mean your student, Erica Martinez. She's bringing to much attention to us and it it must end.
*Maniac clears his throat before speaking.*
Maniac: I'll take care of it, but until then I have something that may appease you.
DreamMaster: See that you do, what is it?
*Maniac turns, smiling as he does so.*
Maniac: I was able to have Santino secured and he's being held in a warehouse not to far from here, consider him my gift to you.
*DreamMaster laughs, nodding his head approvingly.*
DreamMaster: I'm impressed Maniac, take me to him.
*Maniac stands and together he and DreamMaster head to where Santino is being held as the scene fades.*

On camera
*The scene opens in an warehouse at an undisclosed location, Maniac leans against a wall as he smokes a cigarette and approaching him are HWA Intern Roderick Sterling with fellow HWA Intern Meredith behind the camera. Maniac waves them closer with one hand as he uses the other to take a drag off his cigarette.*
Maniac: Roddy my boy, good to see you again. This must be Meredith, nice to meet you. I've heard you're quite skilled behind the camera.
Meredith: Nice to meet you Maniac, thanks I do my best.
*All three laugh and after a few moments get started with the interview.*
Roderick: Roderick Sterling here with Meredith behind the camera. We're here...wherever that it with Maniac who days ago at Havoc beat Hans Von Richtoven in a most controversial fashion. Maniac, first off where are we?
*Maniac pretends to be hurt by Rodericks comment.*
Maniac: Controversial? What are you insinuating Roddy?
Meredith: Insinuating, that's a big word for a lug head like you.
*Maniac smiles and laughs.*
Maniac: Fake laugh, hiding real pain.
*Maniac then continues on as if nothing happened.*
Maniac: As to your question, we're nowhere the either of you need to worry about.
Roderick: OK, well what do you have to say about the way in which you beat Hans at this past Havoc?
*Maniac shrugs.*
Maniac: A win is a win Roddy, however just like my loses I could care less about wins. The only reason I'm really enjoying this victory is because I know how much it's bothering Hans.
*Maniac laughs and takes another drag off his cigarette.*
Maniac: Oh Hans, how mad you must be right now. I can tell you are not only by the way you furiously keep slipping back into your native tongue, not only by your continued lame and failed attempts to piss me off, but by that look in your eye. You know what one I'm talking about, that look of utter disappointment knowing that you failed. The same look Vanessa would give behind your back all the time, still does to this day. First Stu-E beats you, then me, and next it'll be Erica at this coming Havoc. Boy Hans looks like you're going through a rough patch aren't you?
*Maniac smiles as he finishes his cigarette before dropping it on the cement floor and stomping it out.*
Maniac: Stu-E Price looks like it's going to be you and I at this coming Havoc, our first time standing across from each other in the ring and it'll be an interesting match no doubt. I have to admit Stu, I look forward to our wrestling styles colliding and the fight we'll have in that ring. However, unlike my previous matches I'm not out to hurt you Stu oh no this match will be a good old fashion one on one. I'm sure Hans will be around being we both just recently beat him, which if you haven't noticed has really damaged his ego.
*At this thought Maniac throws his head back laughing.*
Maniac: We're going to really heat it up in Alaska Stu, see you there.
*Maniac laughs while retrieving a cigarette and lighting it, taking a deep drag as the scene fades to black.*
