The scene opens once again with a camera fixated on a large Kingdom of Pride banner, with one man in front of it. That one man, of course...is Alex Avice, resident interview guy of the Kingdom. Avice looks to the right, then to the left, the looks directly into the camera.
"Hey...are we on?"
The camera man nods.
"Right. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to another edition of KoP 'After the Bell' the place where you can see what doesn't happen on the shows! My guest tonight, making yet another appearance on this show, is none other than a returning 'Epitome of Epic', Bruce Hendrickson."
The camera does a quick pan to the right, then to the left, and back to the right. But there was no sign of our star. The camera goes back to the center, right in front of our host Alex Avice, where finally, we see Bruce Hendrickson walking out from behind the KoP banner. He walks right beside Avice and half startles him.
"Yo Avice. What'cha waitin' for?"
Avice jumps a bit. "Hey, where'd you come from?" Bruce motions to the banner behind them. "But...that can't be, that's a solid wall back there!" Bruce shrugs. "Well in any case, let's not waste any more time, Bruce. Are you ready?"
"Sure."
"Alright, Bruce...you recently have been on a bit of a losing streak, which is a bit appalling based on how you came into this company. Just last week, you lost to newcomer to the Kingdom, Shawn Stevens, and the week before--"
"I faced the KoP Champion Josh Eagles, and kept a very strong pace with him? Because that is the only way you could finish that sentence. Well, I suppose there is another way, but it probably wouldn't end too well for you."
"...I see even after that string of loses you've been on, you still have your swagger."
"And I see you still make dumb remarks. You and your lack of change...you're definitely Republican."
"You know, I really wish you would stop putting me down like that..."
"And I really wish you would stop asking such stupid questions. We can go round and round like this all day."
"But that isn't what this little segment is all about. Bruce, you were last seen making a rather mysterious phone call in the KoP parking garage. I personally, as well as I'm sure the fans are dying to know, who were you calling a couple of weeks ago?"
"So you really want to know, huh? Well...too bad. When the time is right, the Kingdom will get their opportunity to find out. Until then, Avice...just butt out. It's none of your business." Bruce glares at Avice.
"Okay, okay. Touchy. Moving right along then, you have a match this Sunday at the Death's Desire supercard event. What are your thoughts of facing the Best Team Eva, all while teaming up with your new partner Callaway, for the very first time?"
"Well...first off, my partner Stephen Callaway talked a good deal about that already. I can tell you I am confident in my--no, our--victory."
"Oh really? How can you be so confident, especially when facing two men as renowned as Stevens and Venom?"
Bruce grins slyly before he answers Avice. "It's like Callaway said before; the people have been clamoring about 'Epic Angle' since we first formed...and we haven't even had a match together yet. Everyone says we're the future of tag teams here in the Kingdom. Now, imagine what will happen when we finally do team up for the first time..."
"The Best Team Eva will come out successful again?"
"First of all, 'self-proclaimed' best Avice. Self-proclaimed. And when we defeat them this Sunday...we'll prove just how wrong their little moniker is."
"Strong words there, for sure Bruce."
"This Sunday Alex, the BTE is going to taste something they have been unfamiliar with in their careers...failure. At least, they were unfamiliar with that...until they came to the Kingdom. You see Alex, it's well-documented what happened the last time Robbie Venom was in the Kingdom of Pride, and at Death's Desire...I'm going to do my best, to make that happen again.
Later Avice...I've got a match to prep for. I'll see ya Sunday...after the 'Epic Angle' shows that the Best Team Eva...is actually the Worst Team Eva."
"Bruce--"
But Alex's words fall on deaf ears, with Bruce already gone from the scene.
