*The scene opens at The Max RetroPub, Tulsa’s only 80’s and 90’s themed arcade bar. There are many movie and TV memorabilia that are decorating the walls along with various posters of different movies and TV shows. There are also cocktails that are inspired by various movies and TV shows as well. This bar also has an arcade with various games that people can play, we find both Maniac and Mandy playing ski ball as Mandy drinks from her Redrum which is made up from Skyy Blood Orange, House Energy Drink, Topped with Cherry Slush. While Maniac on the other hand is enjoying one of the draft beers that the arcade bar offers, namely a Miller High Life. He takes a long drink from his beer as Mandy gives him a look.*
Mandy: Off all the drinks you could order, you picked that.
*Maniac smirks and takes another drink.*
Maniac: What? This is a delicious brand of beer, one of many brands I enjoy. But I did pick this one for a reason.
*Maniac rolls a ball down the Skee-Ball track and watches it as it shoots up and lands in one of the holes. From the side view of the camera comes Roderick Sterling microphone in hand.*
Maniac: Right on time Roddy my boy, it's good to see you again. You too Meredith.
*Maniac nods towards the camera and we see Meredith's hand appear from the side of the camera and wave.*
Roderick: Roderick Sterling here at The Max RetroPub where Maniac and Mandy are relaxing before Havoc which is just on a few days. Maniac, have you heard anything back from Vanessa regarding your offer? We've seen recent promos from both your opponents and your tag team partner for this upcoming tag team match. What are your thoughts going into this match knowing that if Vanessa signs that document it's your last match in the HWA?
*Maniac smiles and takes a drink from his beer.*
Maniac: I actually feel good Roddy, this is going to be an excellent tag team match full of lots of action I'm sure and if it's going to be my last then I can't picture any other way going out than fighting. Which brings me to you Jeremy, I see the look in your eyes every time you're in front of the camera. You have that look of desperation, the look of someone who has nothing left to lose but rest assured there is. You have to think about your future, your career, are you really willing to throw that all away just for revenge? What would Matt think if you lost your job, your career and had to spend the rest of your life in jail or even prison?
*As Maniac says the last sentence referring to Matt he holds up his beer.*
Maniac: You see Jeremy right now Matt is full of life, love, joy, and all the other great emotions associated. You fill him with all that and if he loses you, well then...
*Maniac chugs the beer until its completely empty then holds it back up to the camera.*
Maniac: Then what does he have Jeremy? Emptiness, hate, despair, self-loathing over what he could have done to save you. Is that worth it Jeremy? Are you willing to make that sacrifice to satisfy your need for revenge? I can see it on your face, when you speak especially my name I can see the venom dripping from your mouth. Just think about that Jeremy before you do anything drastic.
*Maniac walks over and tosses the empty bottle into the trash. He walks back over to skeeball where Mandy is still playing and he continues.*
Maniac: Stu-E, while I'm glad that we get another chance to face off in the ring I'm sorry that you got thrown into this situation if only for one match. As you may already have noticed I was a bit of an ass in the past but I've seen the light and I've changed my ways however some members of the roster refuse to acknowledge the change. And that includes my tag team partner for this match, and while I'm glad he is going to be the constant professional that he always is I always trust my gut and it's telling me to have eyes in the back of my head. Hans, I do hope Vanessa got the paperwork I sent I was serious about walking away if that's what she desires. As I was serious about wanting her to come back, this is her passion as well as it is everybody else's that's here. Along with all the great fans we all share this passion and love for this sport and the HWA. Stu-E, Jeremy I look forward to this match, not only for the great competition but to show the doubters that they're wrong.
*Mandy finishes playing and tells Maniac she's getting another drink and asks if he wants something since he bought the first round she'll get the next. Maniac smiles and says," Same as last time". Mandy shakes her head and rolls her eyes and walks off to get the drinks as the scene fades to black.*
