A blue Toyota Prius pulls into the Air Canada Center parking garage, and after it's parked, Biggs steps out accompanied by his church's pastor, Jay Whitaker. Biggs is in his street clothes, namely, a Captain America T-Shirt and blue jeans, while Jay is wearing a green polo and khakis. As they make their way towards the hall where the dressing rooms are, The Beast walks by, giving Biggs a slight nod as he makes his way the opposite direction. Jay's eyes are wide in amazement at the size of The Beast.
Jay: Whoa! That sure was one big fella!
Biggs: That's my associate, The Beast. He's the guy I was telling you about that's helped me to wear down Shadow before tonight's show.
Jay: Well, he certainly was scary looking, and huge to boot! Will he be helping you tonight, Gary?
Biggs: No he won't. I'm by myself in that Steel Cage tonight, and I actually asked The Beast to stay out of it. Since tonight's match is about proving Shadow wrong for disrespecting me, I really have to do this by myself.
Jay: Just remember to not get too blood thirsty out there. Remember what we talked about.
Biggs: I'll try. We got to make a quick stop by President Jeff's office.
The two men continue to walk down the hall, reaching President Jeff's office in a little under a minute. Biggs knocks on the door.
President Jeff: (muffled by the door) Come in.
Biggs opens the door, and sees Jeff already in his ring gear, hitting a heavy punching back to prepare himself for his match with Lively later in the night. Jeff puts his training on hold, and turns towards Biggs and Jay.
President Jeff: Hey Biggs, what can I do for you?
Biggs: Well first off, I'd like to introduce you to my church's pastor, Jay Whitaker.
Jay and Jeff shake hands, and give each other a nod of “pleased to meet you.”
Biggs: He's my guest tonight, and he'll be ringside, but I just wanted to make sure that the production crew doesn't acknowledge that he's my pastor in any way, shape, or form. It kind of goes against my character, and I feel it would shine a bad light on the church if attention was brought to that fact.
President Jeff: No problem. Though it's interesting you'd bring your pastor to this event, as he'll be seeing a really bad side of you tonight, considering how bitter your feud with Shadow's been. It's been almost as personal as mine with Lively!
Biggs: Well, to be honest, that's why I brought him. I want him to give me some positive feedback on the way I conduct myself out there, because at times I feel like I'm two different people living the same life.
President Jeff: While it's true that you're one of the most despised heels we've got on the roster, a natural heat magnet, if you will, if it's really bothering you that much, I'm sure we could find a way to change you face over the next few months.
Biggs: I don't really see that as an option. Not only would it hurt the momentum The Axis has been building, I just don't feel like I make a good face.
Jay: Well maybe you should consider it...
Biggs: Maybe...Well, Pres Jeff, thanks for taking care of the production thing for me, I'll be on my way now to prepare for my match.
Jeff: Later, Biggs. Good luck out there.
Biggs: Same to you.
Biggs and Jay leave Jeff's office, and make their way down the brightly lit halls to the locker room area. They stop at the door with the Axis of Awesome logo taped to it.
Biggs: If you'll please excuse me for a moment, Jay, I'll just get changed into my wrestling gear. It'll be just a moment.
Jay: Okay.
Biggs enters the locker room as Jay stands outside nervously. As Biggs is getting changed, Chris Cyrus walks up to Jay.
Chris: Hey, what are doing just standing outside my locker room just like that?! Are you trying to get an autograph, because if you are, it looks to me like you wouldn't be able to afford it!
Jay: Excuse me, but I'm just waiting for Gary.
Chris: So you want my pal Biggs' autograph, then? Well, it's even more expensive than mine! Good luck on that!
Jay: Actually, I'm his guest this evening...
Chris: What, I didn't know Biggs swung that way? Although he never did go out with us to get hookers, so I should have known something was up.
Jay: No, no, I'm actually the pastor of the church he goes to.
Chris: Ah, so Biggs is a churchie! That explains a lot! Well, sorry to hassle you pops, I'll be on my way.
Cyrus gives Jay a pat on the back as he passes by, heading down towards the food court. A few short moments later, Biggs emerges from the locker room dressed in his singlet and fancy ring jacket.
Jay: (snickering) That's quite the getup you got there, Gary. Why don't you ever wear that to church!?
Jay gives Biggs a few soft jabs with his elbow to the ribs. Biggs just rolls his eyes.
Jay: One of your friends came by, and he was quite the vulgar character.
Biggs: That was probably Chris Cyrus. He didn't give you too hard of a time, did he?
Jay: Not really, but it does lead me to wonder about the quality of the company you keep.
Biggs: Don't take it personally. Cyrus has had a hard life, so he has that rough exterior. Get beyond that, and he's actually a pretty neat guy. He's my best friend here.
Jay has a concerned look on his face, but it quickly fades. He pulls his ticket out of his pocket, holding it up.
Jay: Maybe I should get to my seat before I run into anymore of your friends. They are quite the colorful bunch, and I wouldn't want to get on their bad sides.
Biggs: If you insist. The way to the arena is that way. I'd take you myself, but I don't want the fans to see me escorting you out there. Gotta keep up my character...
Biggs points towards a door down the hall.
Jay: If you insist.
Biggs: If you get lost, there's plenty of staff to help you find your seat. I actually got to get going to film a pre-show interview. I see you out there later tonight!
Jay gives a polite wave as he leaves to go find his seat. Biggs makes his way back towards Jeff's office, turning down the hall right before Jeff's door, and makes his way to the backstage interview kiosk, where Cindy Shannon is talking with Max Carter. When they notice that Biggs has arrived, Cindy grabs a mic, and Max walks off. Biggs steps in front of the blue and black background set, and the camera man counts them down, 3...2...1. The interview is also shown on the Tron as the fans continue to file into the arena.
Cindy Shannon: I'm backstage here at the Air Canada Center with the number one contender for the APW Overdrive Championship, Biggs! Biggs what are your thoughts tonight as you prepare to face Shadow in a Steel Cage match for the Overdrive Championship in less than an hour?
Biggs: Before I answer that, Cindy, let me ask you a question. What's it like to be a whore?
Cindy: Excuse me?
Biggs: It's a simple question. Considering that you made a house call to Shadow's home, what's it like to be a whore?
Cindy: Nothing happened! It was just an interview!
Biggs: Sure, sure! You fly all the way out to Texas on APW's dime for a brief, 10 minute interview, and didn't even stay for milk and cookies afterwards? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time, Cindy, but don't forget, you do have a reputation.
Biggs laughs a bit as Cindy tries to maintain her composure.
Biggs: Back to your question, obviously you didn't watch the #1 highest viewed wrestling webshow on the Internet, Biggs' First Contact, otherwise you'd already know the answer to that question, Cindy. I know that you did see the show, or at least had somebody tell you about it because you did reference it in your interview with Shadow, but there is a difference between merely seeing and intently watching. Then again, it's probably a bit much to expect of you to think that you know how to actually pay attention when somebody is talking, let alone even use a computer.
Cindy gets an offended look on her face.
Biggs: So Cindy, for your benefit, and the benefit of those who are like you that are incapable of working a computer, I'll tell you my thoughts on facing Shadow tonight for the APW Overdrive Championship. Tonight will be only the third time that Shadow has defended his APW Overdrive Championship, and I'll be honest, I'm slightly offended by that fact. I mean, here's a man who had the gall to write me off during my second match here in APW, and yet he's hardly what you could consider championship material. He's held the title since March 18th, and come August 30th, a full 165 days, and this is only his third title defense. Does anyone else see what's wrong with this picture? That averages out to one title defense every 55 days! And while Shadow did say in his little home interview with you that he was pissed about not defending his title as well, that's bull. If he really wanted to, Shadow could have asked Jeff to book him in more title defenses. Shadow says he's been stuck fighting newcomers and low carders, if he really wanted to prove his worth, he'd be requesting matches with people like Pence Weatherlight or Level-One! Oh wait, the last time he fought main event talent, he was pinned, suffering one of his few losses here in APW! The simple fact of the matter is that Shadow's win-loss record is inflated due to subpar competition, which he willingly chose to face, rather than challenging himself. He's been here longer than I have, and he has yet to face Level-One in a one-on-one contest. I may have lost that match, but I proved more about what kind of competitor I am in one night than he has his entire time here!
Cindy uses the brief pause to try and ask another question, but before she can spit anything out, Biggs continues to speak.
Biggs: As I said on my webshow, thank goodness that devalued, worthless trinket is not my main motivation for beating Shadow tonight. But then again, it's not Shadow's main motivation tonight, either. Rather, he seems to be more focused on doing the no-pants dance with some harlot who just somehow randomly decides that now is the time for her and Shadow to resume their trailer park romance! And while I'll take any advantage that comes my way, it's just another insult from Shadow that his main reason for winning tonight is to be able partake in extramarital intercourse. Well, Shadow, tonight I will help you in your battle with lust, because not only will I be walking out the new APW Overdrive Champion, but after I'm done with you in that steel cage, you'll be in no condition to perform the carnal actions you hope to tonight with Dita Slutbag!
Cindy: During the home interview with Shadow, he brought up the fact that he was merely giving you constructive criticism, saying that the perceived disrespect was merely because you are an over analytical person. Your thoughts?
Biggs: Seriously, how delusional is this guy? How can calling somebody else on a cell phone, whether it be pantomimed or real, during my match not be perceived as disrespect? And his little comment towards Shadow after the match, while it may not have been directed squarely towards me, it still implied things about me that were simply untrue. Also, his little “curtain jerker” comment, that's certainly revisionist history. How many times need I remind everyone here that I have held championships in every fed I've ever been in, and unlike Shadow, most of them were singles titles!
Boos from the crowd can be heard as Biggs continues to speak.
Biggs: Constructive criticism is like telling somebody they need to be a bit tighter on their Armbar, or that their Snap Suplex could use a bit more snap. Shadow likes to call me arrogant, and self-centered, sure, that's part of who I am, but he needs to look in the mirror and say the same thing about himself. I may despised by a good majority of the fans here, but at least I'm honest about who I am. I don't put on a little dog and pony show, pandering to the fans, I show who I really am, warts and all. In his heart of hearts, Shadow does feel that he's better than everyone else, but he tries to hide his inequities behind the facade of being a fan favorite, of fighting for their entertainment, and his honor. I say it's time for the pot to stop calling the kettle black. As for your little potshot about my taste of clothing and music sucking, well, to each his own, at least I'm not afraid to stand out. Because while you may be content to just walk out to your generic rock, and in your standard black jacket, I show myself to be different by my creativity in my ring gear and entrances. You are small minded to call my look and style “flaming,” because while it is flashy and flamboyant, I can assure you that I don't swing that way. Now I know that you and your alcoholic friend are a couple of big Texas rednecks who don't know any better, but relying on homosexual jokes is not a good insult. Never has been, never will. It's a crass, effortless jab that ultimately shows your own lack of imagination. It takes no effort to call somebody a flaming queer. But since I am confident in myself, because I'm unique, you feel that you have to understand it somehow, and your pathetic brain rationalizes it as homosexuality. But you're wrong. The only person that's going to be flaming tonight, Shadow, is your buddy Slade Craven when he loses the Blaze of Glory match against my pal Cyrus.
This comment draws more boos from the crowd.
Biggs: And on the topic of a lack of originality, again, it's like the pot calling the kettle black, because you found it perfectly acceptable to pull a Pulp Fiction quote out after berating me for using a Watchmen quote. So to keep this little quote warfare going, here's another couple of quotes you can ponder, both from Winston Churchill. The first, “Great and good are seldom the same man.” And the second, “A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.” Shadow, I make no claims of a being a good man, I've told you this before. But I do intend to be considered great. So long as you suck up to fans, so long as you hide your true self, so long as you keep telling yourself that you are a moral person. “A man does what he must...and that is the basis of all human morality.” Shadow, I do what I must to accomplish my goals, while you hold back, clinging to some sense of decency, some sense of loyalty to the fans. Based on Churchill's quote, I'm a man of more moral fiber than you are. My goal through all of this has been to force you to respect me, but now I realize that that is impossible. Because to be able to respect somebody else, you must first respect yourself, and considering that you really don't acknowledge your true self, well, you can't really show yourself respect there, can you?
Cindy: What are you thoughts on Shadow saying that all your training and video watching has been for naught, since him and Slade took The Beast out this past Overdrive?
Biggs: Well, Shadow called The Beast the “driving force” of the Axis of Awesome, and nothing could be further from the truth. The Beast is merely a hired gun, a big, powerful, dominating gun, but hired nonetheless. Cyrus and I are the driving force behind the Axis of Awesome. We've told The Beast where to go and who to clobber, but he's merely been a tool at our disposal. Also, you tried to discredit my practice of watching footage of my opponents by saying that all your matches as of late have been the same, short, one sided encounters where you show the new guy who's boss. You really should think about what you're going to say before you say it, because this actually reflects more poorly on you than it does myself. Because we've already established the fact that you have not had a strong, competitive singles match to push yourself in some time, and that you've grown complacent. I know that you won't be at 100% physically tonight, but the fact that you won't be there 100% mentally as well encourages me, because it will make my task out there all the easier.
Cindy: Any final thoughts as you get ready to face your adversary inside the steel cage?
Biggs: Shadow, I cannot wait to take that Overdrive Title away from you tonight, because for the first time in a long time, it will be held by a man who challenges himself, pushes himself to grow as wrestler. For the first time in a long time, it will be held by an honest man. For the first time in a long time, it will be held by a man who will actually defend it, and be worthy of being called a champion. Shadow, enjoy your woman and your title, because in a few short moments, you'll be left with the lesser of the two. See you out in the ring.
Biggs walks off the camera as Cindy Shannon still looks upset.
Jay: Whoa! That sure was one big fella!
Biggs: That's my associate, The Beast. He's the guy I was telling you about that's helped me to wear down Shadow before tonight's show.
