*We open to Maniac sitting on the couch of his bus, he's been watching Havoc since the HWA recently came back. Starting at the reunion show and going forward Maniac has been watching all the horror and chaos that the DreamMaster has been causing all the while occasionally glancing over at Erica who is using her phone to look at the comments from fans all over the world with apparent hate and disgust on her face. He doesn't say anything to her just continues watching the TV and after a few moments he notices in his peripheral vision Erica get up and head to the back of the bus. When she's out of sight Maniac sighs and shakes his head continuing to watch the TV when Antonio suddenly sits down beside him.*
Antonio: Keep an eye on her Maniac, she's been tainted by DreamMaster.
*Maniac pauses the TV and turns to Antonio, sighing and nodding his head as he does.*
Maniac: Yeah, I've realized that too. Don't worry I'll be sure to keep an close eye on her.
Antonio: Good...so how are you and Mandy doing?
*Maniac chuckles as he scratches the back of his head.*
Maniac: You mean since you told me that Mandy is a CIA assassin who was sent here to kill me? Just dandy...
*Antonio raises an eyebrow at Maniac.*
Antonio: Alright I get it, you don't want to talk about it. Just remember, we want her with us not against us so you're going to have to bring up our plans to her sometime soon.
Maniac: I know, but how do you bring that up in a conversation? Oh hey Mandy, how was that interview? That's great, by the way I found out you work for the CIA what's up with that?
*Maniac gives Antonio a sarcastic look and Antonio response only by shaking his head and laughing.*
Antonio: Point taken, good luck with that Romeo.
*Antonio stands up and walks behind the couch and when Maniac turns around to respond he's gone.*
Maniac: Man, I can see where that's kind of annoying...
*Maniac's phone goes off and he looks seeing Erica has just posted a video. She's not the only one though, there are a few other promos to be watched. Maniac once again size and settled back on the couch flipping the TV over and starts watching the most recent promos has the scene fades.*

On camera
*The scene opens to Maniac sitting at the bar having a drink, his glass in his left hand and a cigarette burns in his right hand as he his deep in thought. He's watched what's been going on since the reunion show and is completely disgusted with what he saw. Maniac takes a drink from his glass and then takes a drag from his cigarette still unsure how to begin, after a few moments of repeating this he begins.*
Maniac: You know Jeremy there's an old saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink". You're that horse Jeremy, you and most your friends but at least Michelle still has hope. I've tried to tell you but you just won't listen so like I told Sarah I'm just going to have to show you by fighting. And if it's a fight you want at Blood, Sweat, and Tears then you've got it Jeremy, I wasn't aware that you we're so passionate about where and when we were going to have our match at I wasn't trying to dictate anything.
*Maniac finishes his drink and then gets up from the bar, heading over to the TV and turning it on. He finds Jeremy's recent ask me anything Reddit and watches it again followed by his response to Draconis. Maniac takes another drag off his cigarette with a smile on his face.*
Maniac: Look whether you believe me or not I am really sorry about Matt, he's a hell of an athlete and I hope that his condition gets better and that he can compete again someday. I have to admit though something that bothers me, you say that you and the others don't want my apology yet in the same breath you wonder where it's at. That's hypocrisy at its finest there Jeremy, but you're so blinded by hate and revenge that you don't realize it. I don't want to hurt you Jeremy but if it's violence you seek in your attempt for blind justice then you shall get it, like you I don't care if it's at Havoc or the Pay-Per-View one way or another I'm going to show you when I beat you and move forward. Being seeing you at Havoc.
*Maniac smiles and winks before walking off as the scene fades to black.*
