The scene switches to the backstage area, where Charles Matias stands alone with a mic in hand.
Charles Matias: "Charles Matias here backstage, and we've had a pretty amazing inaugural show thus far! But many people I've spoken to have constantly brought up one match in particular: tonight's main event between the ambitious man simply known as KONSTANTINE... and our guest at this time, returning to action after five years out of the ring... 'Perfectly Sane' Maxwell Schneider!"
Sure enough, The Portland Madman walks onto the scene, places an arm around Matias and pats his chest with his free arm.
Charles Matias: "Mr. Schneider, welcome."
"Perfectly Sane" Maxwell Schneider: "It's a PLEAsure ta be here, Mister Matias! An absoLUTE pleasure!"
Charles Matias: "Mr. Schneider, later on tonight, you'll have your chance to get your hands on KONSTANTINE and you've been quite vocal on your dislike of the younger upstart."
"Perfectly Sane" Maxwell Schneider: "I CAN'T HELP BEIN' VOCAL WHEN IT COMES TO A MAN I DON'T LIKE, MISTER MATIAS!"
Maxwell said this basically immediately after Matias finished his sentence. This was complete with grabbing the interviewer by the shoulders and getting right in his face. Maxwell lets go and directs his gaze towards the camera.
"Perfectly Sane" Maxwell Schneider: "Ya see? Ya SEE?! LOOK what he makes me do! Without a shadow of DOUBT, of DOUBT, of DOUBT, I'm gonna do NOTHIN' LESS than vivisect li'l KONNIE! I'm gonna shut his mouth the haaaard way, the sorta way that PERMANENTLY ruins a man's smiiiile. KONSTANTINE don't know what he's got himself into, but leave it ta ol' Maxie ta EDUCATE him! Ya wanna see my TEACHIN' tools, Mister Matias?"
Matias shrugs, not really sure what to say, but he shouldn't have said the following:
Charles Matias: "Sure?"
Maxwell grins and leaves the shot for a few moments.
Charles Matias: "I wonder what Maxwell's planning... on... bring... ing..."
Suddenly, Matias makes a break for it, as Maxwell bursts back onto the scene, swinging heavy chains over his head and constantly shouting, "HEEERE YA GO!"
Maxwell then drapes the chains over his shoulders, and picks up the mic.
"Perfectly Sane" Maxwell Schneider: "CLASS IS IN SESSION, KONNIE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!"
Then the scene comes to an end and the cameras are told to cut back to the ring.
["Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria begins to play as fog begins to rise from the entrance way]
West Newhaven: Is it? Is that Hayden Phoenix?!
[The lights dim down and two spotlights converge on the curtain as Hayden Phoenix makes his way out to the entrance way. He has a serious demeanor on his face and looks up to the crowd. He points to the crowd on his left, and the crowd cheers. He slides over to his right, points to the crowd, and they erupt as well]
Matthew Baily: It's "The Rising" Hayden Phoenix, one of the recent signings by RWD! It looks like even though he does not have a match tonight, he is making his RWD Debut here on Sunday Night Combat!
West Newhaven: And I bet he is going to make an impact from the beginning... Did you see what he had to say last week? He seems quite determined here in The RWD.
[The lights brighten up as Hayden walks down to the outside of the ring, Phoenix holds his arms out to the sides with his palms up, yells something into the air that cannot be made out, and jumps up onto the apron. He grabs the top rope, looks at both his left and his right side, and flips head first into the ring before being tossed a microphone.]
Hayden Phoenix: Hello RWD... And hello Knoxville, Tennessee!
[The crowd pops]
For those of you that do not know who I am, I am Hayden Phoenix. I am sure that over the next few months you will quickly learn who I am and what I am all about; and that is exactly why I am out here. I unfortunately did not get booked in a match tonight... but don't worry, because I am in it for the long haul. That said, I wanted to make sure to come out here and introduce myself. I plan on being someone to watch in this company, and a name that is mentioned with contention for some gold. I appreciate your time...
[Phoenix goes to hand the microphone back]
West Newhaven: That's it... Wow. He didn't have mu-
[Phoenix pulls back his arm and speaks directly into the mic]
Hayden Phoenix: My apologies, I completely forgot why I came out here. That's right, I want to open a challenge... Yes, an open challenge! At the first RWD Super Card I will be facing off whoever deems themselves a challenge for myself. I have spoken to management and they are fine with it... From now until when the card is announced I am taking challengers for a match at the Super Card. The match will be announced along with the rest of the card that night, and the reason I am doing this is to make an impact in this business and to take on all comers!
I don't care who it is, what pedigree they have, or their background... I want to face the biggest and baddest guy in this company! I want to not have to waste my time starting from the bottom week-in and week-out... I have been there and I have done that. I don't mind paying my dues, but for once I want something in return for my payment. At the first Super Card it will be myself, Hayden Phoenix, facing whoever management and myself agrees that took my challenge... So, this goes out to everyone in the back. If you want to tear the house down with me, and you are willing to bring it, this is an open challenge... make yourself known and let's make the first Super Card a memorable one!
["Welcome Home" hits as Hayden Phoenix drops the mic down and stands for a minute look around the arena. He has a bit of a smirk on his face as he makes his way out of the ring, up the ramp, and into the back as the match match is ready to begin.]
