Cameras Fade In:
Melvin Peabody is standing outside of a room, with microphone in hand and a look of concern.
MELVIN: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I of course am Melvin Peabody and I am reporting to you live from Santiago, Chile! I'm currently at a Chilean medical facility, where Cid Phoenix will find out if he is physically cleared to compete at this week's Meltdown on April 1st. Now what some of you who saw the RASSLEMANIA IX Pay-Per-View, and even those of you who were in attendance didn't get to see, was that during that very match, Cid Phoenix took a series of brutal bumps that seemed to be non-disconcerting, as Phoenix continued on with the match. However, after the match was over, it was discovered that it clearly wasn't the case. Despite his best efforts at trying to win - Phoenix would complete the match in quite the megastar fashion, but not before reportedly suffering a fractured jaw caused by a ladder hitting him in the face, a mild stinger in his neck as a result of a brutal double underhook powerbomb from Evan McDonald, cracked ribs from his very own "Phoenix Down / Death From Above" Frog Splash and a badly bruised knee! Now, this week's Meltdown of course, is coming up in just two days and Phoenix is set to compete in a #1 contender's match for the APW North American Championship against not only former champion, Warren Peace, but Evan McDonald and Tommy Knoxville as well, and if that isn't enough, the odds are further stacked with BOTH The Guv'nor and Nathaniel Havok - who will be present at commentary!
The door behind Peabody suddenly opens, and out steps a Hispanic doctor who gives the camera a side glance and sighs. He seems a bit annoyed - perhaps at the presence of the camera, as he continues to walk down the hall. Seconds afterward, Cid Phoenix walks out of the office leaning on a single crutch. His left knee is bandaged and the lower half of his jaw looks swollen. Peabody immediately comes over to get his interview..
MELVIN: Cid Phoenix! After having a grueling 8 man ladder match at RASSLEMANIA IX, suffering the injuries that you did during that match and again having to face not only one, but three of the Meltdown's top megastars... what are your thoughts, what is the doctor's prognosis, and are your injuries career threatening?
Phoenix stares at the doctor who by now is some distance away, before turning his attention over to Peabody. He snatches the microphone from Peabody and gets in his face.
CID: Leave..
MELVIN: But, I'm trying to conduct an inter--
CID: Leave Now!
Peabody gets the hint and walks off screen. Cid Phoenix looks at the floor and takes a deep breath before raising his eyes and staring off camera.
CID: You know, when I started in this business in 2005, I had critics. I had a whole plethora of naysayers who didn't believe in me. They'd say, 'This kid has no business and no future in the world of professional wrestling. He'll never amount to anything!' But fast forward to 2013, and that same kid who would never amount to anything was at the biggest stage of his career - at the most talked about APW venue, RASSLEMANIA IX - competing alongside up and coming stars, champions and future legends for that prestigious North American Championship!
Cid Phoenix clears his throat for a moment, before he continues.
CID: I went out there and I laid it all on the line. I'm battered, I'm bruised and I'm hurt all over like you wouldn't believe. But it's not gonna stop me from realizing my goal. Tomorrow, I realize that I have to dig down deep within myself to get past three top notch competitors who all want a shot at the title just as bad as I do! I've got to get past Warren Peace, an accomplished and take no prisoners kind of guy who wants it bad because that title belonged to him before he lost it at the Pay-Per-View! I've got to get past a big, angry Scotsman in Evan McDonald, who has more than once handed me a very sound beating, including the stinger in my neck following a "Scottish Pride" he delivered quite emphatically. And last but certainly not least by a long shot, I have to get past Tommy Knoxville - who is looking to upset us all to go on to continue his very storied legacy!
Cid drops the crutch to the floor and looks down at it. He then starts to hop around, and then stops.
CID: The knee is good.. It hurts, but I'm still walking.
He then slaps himself hard in the face, prompting himself to growl in pain.
CID: The jaw is okay.. after all I'm still talking.
Cid Phoenix cranes his neck from side to side and then lifts his shirt and punds on his ribs, grunting each time.
CID: Neck is stiff and ribs are sore.. But I'm still stalking.
Cid Phoenix finally averts his eyes to the camera, smiling.
CID: Chile... Get ready. You think you've seen action? You haven't seen nothing yet. And to my opponents? Get ready too, because if I haven't shown you something that you haven't already seen from me yet, then I aim to show you something that you haven't seen!
Cid starts to walk offscreen, but then backpedals. He looks again at the floor and takes a deep breath, exhaling forcefully.
CID: Oh, and by the way.. Havok? I hope you bring a writing pad, because you might wanna take some notes, and Guv'nor? Keep that belt warm for me, because I'll be coming for it soon! Get Ready.
Phoenix sneers as he walks offscreen, tossing the mic to Peabody who steps onscreen and shakes his head as he looks offscreen at Phoenix - at a loss for words.
MELVIN (sighs): Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen. (mumbles to himself) He didn't even say if he was officially cleared..
