The Best Around

*As the cameras come into focus we are taken to a rather small room in a modest hotel in Monterray, Mexico. There is a table set up in the center of the back of the room and draped over the table is a black cloth with the sVo logo plastered on the front. Psyko Stevo sits in a chair behind the table and directly in front of him we see 25-30 members of the local press, as well as some members of the national entertainment and wrestling press. Before Stevo starts to speak and before the mic's are turned on, Chazz McPhearson comes to Stevo's side and the two exchange a few brief words.* Chazz: Remember, keep your composure... stick to the game plan. Stevo: I got it Chazz, don't worry about it. *Chazz nods his head and steps off to the side as Stevo flashes a big smile as he looks out to the swarm of reporters, addressing them.* Stevo: Well thank you all for coming, let's get this show on the road. You first, in the black shirt. Man in Black: Habla Espanol? Stevo: Si. *Many members of the press smile and start to scribble words down as the man speaks in Spanish as Stevo listens intently.* Man in Black: How do you feel about fighting Peter Gilmour this week? Stevo: You know, at first I really wasn't excited... but I've come to realize that this could actually be a great match. Peter is a heck of a competitor when he's on his game. *Stevo translates what he said into English and about half of the reporters nod their heads and scribble their notes down.* Stevo: You there, in the red. Woman in red: You said, "When he's on his game"... well, as of late he really hasn't been on his game. Doesn't it disappoint you in the least bit to see someone like Gilmour, who has admittedly been struggling, stepping into the main event when people like... Joseph Equinox are fighting lower on the card. *Stevo scratches his head and flashes a smile as he thinks for a second. He takes a deep breath and speaks.* Stevo: I've said it before and I'll say it again, Joseph Equinox is the future of this business. With that being said though, I don't make the cards, I don't hand pick my opponents... that's not the kind of champion I am. I face whoever management wants me to face, whoever they feel is deserving of a match against me. *Stevo pauses* Stevo: Peter Gilmour made a challenge to me last week... and I never back down from challenges, doesn't matter who makes them. *Stevo nods his head as the reporters continue to scribble down notes.* Stevo: You, in the back. Man: How do you feel about your opponent at Countdown to Violence, Alex Ross, taking on an undefeated rising star in the making in the form of Kaden Alonzo? *Stevo looks as though he's about to lose his composure, but he instead smiles as almost none of the reporters pick up on this minor near slip up.* Stevo: Kaden Alonzo? Sure, he's 7-0, but who has he really faced? No one of note, that's who. He's impressive, but untested. I know that Alex Ross is going to take care of business this week, and I expect both of us to be coming into Countdown to Violence on great winning steaks. There will be no excuses in our back pockets to cry about. Man: What if Alex Ross loses though? Stevo: Well, then maybe he shouldn't be getting a World Title shot? But I'm kidding though, Alex Ross won't lose, he's too good to lose to a rookie like Alonzo. *Stevo adjusts the collar on his shirt a bit as he nods at a woman in the front row who has her hand raised.* Woman: How does it feel to be in Mexico? I know you speak Spanish, I'm guessing this isn't your first trip down here? Stevo: Oh I've worked quite a few shows down here in Mexico over the years, and it's good to be back. The people of Mexico have always been good to me and I'm really excited to put on the best match possible for them. *The reporters are generally all smiles as Stevo nods at a man in the second row.* Man: Do you really think it's fair? Stevo: Um... what are you referring too? Man: Peter Gilmour. Your opponent this week, he's obviously a wreck. He's hearing voices in his head, he's been drinking and taking pain pills non-stop for the last couple of weeks. He's going through manager changes almost weekly, he's riding a losing steak. Do you really think it's fair that you're facing him a week before the pay per view, while your opponent, Alex Ross, is facing a blue chip up and comer with nothing but confience. *Stevo starts to sweat a bit, but quickly recovers.* Stevo: Look, I don't book the matches, I just compete in them. Man: That's not gonna cut it. You had the opportunity to come out last week and challenge someone of note, but you didn't. Stevo: Why should I have to challenge anyone? I'm coming off wins over Chris Bond, Mike Polowy, Howie Banks, Julian Fiasco... heck, I beat Alex Ross less then a month ago in a singles match, then I came back two weeks later with Joseph Equinox and the two of us beat Ross and Talon... what more do I have to do to prove to you people that I'm the best around? What more do I have to do to show you that the deck isn't stacked, that I'm just THAT damn good!? *The man fevoriously scribbles down notes as Stevo looks at him, staring a hole through him as he continues to look down at his notepad.* Stevo: What? Well? What do you have to say? *The man continues to scribble notes as Stevo rises from his chair and leans over the table, he taps on the mic a couple times as some of the other reporters now start to scribble notes.* Stevo: Is this thing on? Come on, what do you have to say now? Man: Who me? Oh, that was my only question. *Stevo shakes his head in disbelief as he kicks the chair he was once sitting on and it goes flying across the room and into the back wall. Stevo starts pacing around and one of the other reporters speaks up.* Woman: Are you okay Stevo? Stevo: Am I okay? No, I'm really not okay... you people just bother me sometimes... you're always looking for some weakness, for some flaw... but week in and week out I prove everyone wrong, and yet they still doubt me. What do I have do? Who do I have to beat? I've beat them all, I've avenged every loss, I've done it all... I've been humble, I've taken young guys under my wing, I've shut up the jerks, I've beat the up and comers... what do I have to do!? *The woman shakes her head and Stevo continues to lose it.* Stevo: Mike Polowy... gone. Johnny All Star... gone. Nicholas Etch... gone. Howie Banks, my friend... defeated, defeated, defeated and defeated again! Chris Bond... defeated. Alex Ross, defeated again and again and again. Julian Fiasco... defeated. What else do I have to do? Who is left!? *The reporters are all silent as Chazz McPhearson quickly comes running into the scene, he jumps in front of the mic as he speaks.* Chazz: Um, this interview is over! Thanks for coming, we'll see you all tomorrow night! *Chazz grabs Stevo by the shirt collar and Stevo throws his hands in the air before pushing Chazz off of him and leaning into the mic.* Stevo: I'm the Best Around... ME! That's not a nickname, it's the truth. You want me to back it up? Just tune in every Monday night and be amazed! *Stevo shakes his head in disgust as he looks at the reporter who tried to call him out. He then turns off to the side and walks out of the room as the reporters all start to talk amongst themselves.* --- Later that week, Psyko Stevo would issue a formal apology to every reporter in the room and fortunately enough for him, none of the reporters decided to run the story in a derogatory tune... instead giving them the benefit of the doubt. The question remains though... is this the beginning of the end for the Psyko One? Or just a small little bump in the road that every great champion eventually must face and overcome. |
