THE NEXT CHAPTER


EVERY DAY, THE WORLD GOES THROUGH HUGE CHANGES THAT DEFINE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS
AND UNDERLINE THE EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO ARE WORKING TOGETHER
TO MAKE A BETTER ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE. NOT NECESSARILY THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT, NO TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING THEORIES OR ANYTHING HERE, RATHER
THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT. THESE CHANGES AFFECT EVERYTHING IN A WORLD WHERE THE
NEXT GENERATION IS STARTING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THESE CHANGES
ARE OCCURRING EVERYWHERE, IN THE WRESTLING INDUSTRY FOR ONE. THE MOST DOMINANT
COMPANY IN ALL OF WRESTLING IN THE HISTORY OF THE WHOLE WORLD, THE WWE, IS DEAD.
THE COMPANY WHICH LASTED FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS SLOWED TO AN AGONIZING HALT, BUT
IT WAS ALL FOR THE BEST. ONE FAMILY HAS TAKEN THE WWE THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND
THE BAD, IN THE COMPANY’S FIFTY-SIX YEAR HISTORY, ONE FAMILY STANDS AT THE TOP
OF THE FEUDAL SYSTEM. THE MCMAHONS. THE MCMAHON FAMILY IS THE MOST FAMOUS AND
WELL-KNOWN FAMILY IN ALL OF THE WRESTLING INDUSTRY, BECAUSE THEY HELD ON TO WHAT
THEY BELIEVED IN AND THEY KEPT ON PLOWING THROUGH THE DIRT DURING THE WORST OF
TIMES. ONE MAN CERTAINLY STICKS OUT FROM THIS FAMILY. VINCE MCMAHON. NOW, HE’S
WASHED UP, AND HIS KIDS ARE STARTING TO REBEL, TO FORM A REVOLUTION, TO CHANGE
THE FACE OF WRESTLING AS WE KNOW IT. AND SO WAS THE BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSAL
WRESTLING SYNDICATE, HAND-IN-HAND WITH ITS SLOGAN “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR KIDS
DECIDE TO REBEL?” ONE MAN IN PARTICULAR SAW THIS NOT AS A TURN FOR THE WORSE,
NOT AS A WAY TO BURY THE WWE INTO THE GROUND. HE SAW IT AS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY. A
MAN YOU ALL KNOW AS ‘MVP’. IN REALITY, HE IS KNOWN AS ALVIN BURKE JNR, BUT FOR
RECOGNITION PURPOSES, WE’LL CALL HIM MONTEL. THE WORD ‘OPPORTUNITY’ WAS A VERY
BIG AND IMPORTANT WORD FOR MONTEL. BORN ON OCTOBER 28, 1973 IN OPA-LOCKA,
FLORIDA, MONTEL FOUND TROUBLE AT AN EARLY AGE. DURING HIS TEENS, THE FORMER GANG
MEMBER WAS SENTENCED TO EIGHTEEN YEARS IN PRISON FOR KIDNAPPING AND ARMED
ROBBERY OF A CASINO CRUISE. WHILE INCARCERATED, ONE OF HIS CORRECTIONAL
OFFICERS, DARRYL DAVIS, WHO WRESTLED IN THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT UNDER THE
NAME ‘PRIMETIME’ DARRYL D., OFFERED TO TRAIN MONTEL TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL
WRESTLER WHEN HE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON. AFTER SERVING NICE AND A HALF YEARS
IN DESOTO ANNEX CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, SOUTH FLORIDA RETENTION CENTER AND
GLADES CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, MONTEL WAS RELEASED IN 1999 AT AGE 26. THIS WAS
THE FIRST TIME THE WORD ‘OPPORTUNITY’ CAME INTO PLAY, AND MONTEL DIDN’T WANT TO
LOSE THIS OPPORTUNITY. AFTER ALL, HE HAD GAINED A LOT OF TIME TO THINK ABOUT HIS
LIFE DURING HIS NINE AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON. MAKING HIS WRESTLING DEBUT IN
2001, AFTER 3 YEARS OF TRAINING, MONTEL, WRESTLING AS "ANTONIO BANK$" QUICKLY
MADE AN IMPACT WRESTLING FOR COMPANIES SUCH AS COASTAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING,
FULL IMPACT PRO, NWA: FLORIDA, NWA: TNA AND IWA: PUERTO RICO. AFTER WORKING ON
THE INDEPENDENT SCENE FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVING BEEN TURNED DOWN BY WWE'S SENIOR
VICE PRESIDENT OF TALENT RELATIONS, JOHN LAURINAITIS, MONTEL HAD TO COME UP WITH
HIS OWN CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY IF HE WANTED TO MAKE IT TO THE BIG LEAGUES.
WHILE WORKING AS A BOUNCER AT CLUB MANSION IN SOUTH BEACH, MONTEL WAS FORCED TO
DEAL WITH SELF-ABSORBED AND OVERPAID ATHLETES. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" WAS A
PHRASE THAT WAS HEARD REGULARLY IN THE CLUB. THE FLORIDA NATIVE TOOK THESE
PERSONALITIES TO THE WWE OFFICE AND THUS THE "MVP" CHARACTER WAS BORN. "A LOT OF
MVP IS ME WITH THE VOLUME TURNED WAY UP, BUT SELF-ABSORBED AND MEGALOMANIACAL."

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER WAS ASSIGNED TO WWE'S DEVELOPMENTAL TERRITORY, DEEP
SOUTH WRESTLING IN 2005 AND DEBUTED ON WWE TELEVISION IN AUGUST 2006 AS
SMACKDOWN'S ‘HIGHEST PAID ATHLETE IN HISTORY’. MANY VIEWED THIS CONCEITED
ATHLETE AS JUST ANOTHER GIMMICK AND THOUGHT OF HIS WRESTLING SKILLS AS AVERAGE.
IT WASN'T UNTIL HIS WRESTLEMANIA 23, UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY
MATCH AGAINST CHRIS BENOIT THAT OPENED A LOT OF EYES. MVP NOW REMAINS TO BE ONE
OF WWE'S MOST ACCOMPLISHED PERFORMERS, CAPTURING THE UNITED STATES TITLE AS WELL
AS THE WWE TAG TEAM TITLES IN LITTLE UNDER A YEAR. AS MVP, HE MADE HIS FIRST
APPEARANCE ON WWE TELEVISION ON THE AUGUST 4, 2006 EPISODE OF SMACKDOWN!, DURING
WHICH ANNOUNCERS DESCRIBED HIM AS A COVETED FREE AGENT. THE INITIAL ANGLE
INVOLVED MVP APPEARING BACKSTAGE AND IN ARENA CROWDS, OFTEN FLANKED BY WOMEN
AND/OR A BODYGUARD, AND TALKING TO SMACKDOWN! GENERAL MANAGER OF THE TIME,
THEODORE LONG, ABOUT THE CONTRACT HIS (UNSEEN) AGENT WAS SUPPOSEDLY AGGRESSIVELY
NEGOTIATING. THROUGHOUT HIS SEGMENTS, COMMENTATORS DESCRIBED MVP AS ARROGANT,
NOTING THAT HE WOULD STOP CONVERSATIONS IN THE MIDDLE TO ANSWER HIS MOBILE PHONE
OR ADMIRE HIS OWN JEWELRY WHILE PEOPLE WERE SPEAKING TO HIM. FINALLY, ON
SEPTEMBER 26, A VIDEO OF A PRESS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCING THE SIGNING OF MVP TO
"THE LARGEST CONTRACT IN SMACKDOWN! HISTORY" WAS UPLOADED TO WWE.COM. MVP'S
IN-RING DEBUT FOR THE BRAND WAS SET FOR OCTOBER'S NO MERCY PAY-PER-VIEW, FOR
WHICH HE ALSO DEBUTED HIS HERALDED ENTRANCE FEATURING AN NFL-LIKE INFLATABLE
TUNNEL, BEFORE DEFEATING THE UNKNOWN WRESTLER MARTY GARNER. DURING THE MATCH,
COMMENTATORS MICHAEL COLE AND JBL DECRIED THE CHOICE OF OPPONENT, SINCE IT HAD
BEEN IMPLIED THAT IT WOULD BE SOMEONE "MORE COMPETENT", AND JOINED IN WITH FANS
MOCKING HIS ATHLETIC SUIT STYLED RING GEAR, CALLING HIM "PATHETIC" WHILE THE
FANS CHANTED ‘POWER RANGER’. EVEN IN THE WWE, HE DIDN’T HAVE THE GREATEST START.
ON THE FOLLOWING WEEK'S SMACKDOWN!, MVP CUT A PROMO "DEMANDING" A TOUGHER
OPPONENT TO PROVE HIS METTLE, WHICH WAS ANSWERED BY KANE, MAKING HIS SMACKDOWN!
DEBUT. THE TWO WERE PLACED INTO A FEUD FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, WITH MVP
NARROWLY SCORING WINS OVER KANE IN A STREET FIGHT AND A CAGE MATCH BEFORE LOSING
TO HIM IN AN INFERNO MATCH AT ARMAGEDDON, FROM WHICH HE SUFFERED KAYFABE 1ST
DEGREE BURNS. BECAUSE OF THE BURNS HE WAS "OUT OF ACTION" FOR A SHORT TIME,
DURING WHICH COLOR COMMENTATOR JBL EXPRESSED RAGE WITH THE FANS FOR CHEERING A
MATCH WHERE THE ONLY WAY OF ACHIEVING VICTORY IS TO SET AN OPPONENT ON FIRE.
WHEN THE KANE FEUD DIED DOWN, MVP BEGAN A NEW ONE WITH UNITED STATES CHAMPION
CHRIS BENOIT OVER BENOIT'S TITLE. DURING THE BUILD UP FOR A TITLE MATCH WITH
BENOIT, MVP APPEARED ON SMACKDOWN! INTRODUCING VARIOUS SUPPOSED CHAMPIONS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD, GIVING THEM EXAGGERATED MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO
SQUASH THEM IN SHORT ORDER. MVP WAS IN CONTROL FOR MUCH OF THE TIME OF THE TITLE
MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA 23, BEFORE HE LOST IN THE END.

A REMATCH AT BACKLASH WENT MUCH THE SAME WAY, WITH MVP SUDDENLY LOSING TO AN
INSIDE CRADLE AFTER LOOKING LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO WIN FOR MUCH OF THE MATCH.
THERE WAS CERTAINLY A LOT OF PROMISE FOR THIS YOUNG SUPERSTAR, AND PEOPLE WERE
STARTING TO SEE HIM FOR THE GREAT PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE THAT HE WAS. THE TWO
WRESTLED IN A TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH AT JUDGMENT DAY, WITH MVP TAKING HIS
FIRST WWE TITLE IN TWO STRAIGHT FALLS. MVP CREDITS HIS TIME WORKING WITH BENOIT
FOR IMPROVING HIS IN-RING SKILL. HIS FIRST MAJOR FEUD OVER THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS
AGAINST MATT HARDY, WHOM HE STARTED CLAIMING TO BE BETTER THAN AT EVERYTHING,
AFTER DEFEATING HIM AT THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH. WHEN MVP WAS LEGITIMATELY
DIAGNOSED WITH THE HEART CONDITION WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME, A SYNDROME
WHERE THE HEART BEATS FASTER THAN IT’S NATURALLY SUPPOSED TO, IT WAS CLEVERLY
AND CUNNINGLY WRITTEN INTO THE STORYLINE, WITH MVP BLAMING THE CONDITION FOR HIS
LOSING AN ARM WRESTLING MATCH AGAINST HARDY. WHEN MVP WAS GIVEN AN INTERVIEW
SEGMENT DURING SMACKDOWN!, THE "VIP LOUNGE", IT WAS USED TO BOW OUT OF A
SCHEDULED BOXING MATCH AT SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT, WITH EVANDER HOLYFIELD
REPLACING HIM, AND EVENTUALLY PUNCHING OUT MVP DURING THE BOUT. ON THE AUGUST 24
SMACKDOWN!, MVP BRAGGED TO GENERAL MANAGER TEDDY LONG THAT HE COULD WIN THE WWE
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ANYBODY, PROMPTING LONG TO GRANT HIM A CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH ALONGSIDE THE NEXT PERSON WHO ENTERED THE ROOM, MATT HARDY. THE NEXT WEEK,
MVP AND HARDY TOOK THE CHAMPIONSHIP FROM DEUCE 'N DOMINO, MAKING MVP A DOUBLE
CHAMPION. MVP AND HARDY'S CONTENTIOUS RELATIONSHIP HAD THEM COMPETING WITH EACH
OTHER IN VARIOUS WAYS WHILE MVP PROCLAIMED HIMSELF "CAPTAIN" OF THE TEAM AND
REFUSED TO DEFEND HIS US TITLE. THEIR REIGN TOGETHER CAME TO AN END ON THE
NOVEMBER 16 SMACKDOWN! AFTER HARDY DEMANDED A SHOT AT THE US TITLE. WHEN MVP
DECLINED, MATT ACCUSED HIM OF USING THE TAG TEAM TITLES AS A WAY TO AVOID
DEFENDING THE U.S. TITLE. LATER THAT NIGHT, THEY HAD A TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
DEFENSE AGAINST JOHN MORRISON AND THE MIZ, WHICH THEY LOST. AFTER THE LOSS, MVP
IMMEDIATELY INVOKED THE REMATCH CLAUSE, AND LOST THAT MATCH AS WELL. MVP THEN
ATTACKED HARDY, TARGETING HIS KAYFABE INJURED KNEE, AND PUTTING HIM "OUT OF
ACTION". HARDY SUFFERED A LEGITIMATE RUPTURED APPENDIX WHILE HE WAS OFF
TELEVISION, PUTTING THEIR FEUD ON HOLD. WHILE HARDY RECOVERED, MVP ENGAGED IN
SHORT FEUDS WITH REY MYSTERIO AND RIC FLAIR AND PARTICIPATED IN THE MONEY IN THE
BANK LADDER MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA XXIV. DURING THE LADDER MATCH, JUST AS HE WAS
ABOUT TO WIN, HARDY MADE AN UNANNOUNCED RETURN AND KNOCKED MVP FROM THE LADDER
WITH HIS SIGNATURE TWIST OF FATE MANEUVER, REIGNITING THEIR FEUD. DESPITE THE
LARGE FAN BASE OF MATT HARDY, PEOPLE WERE REALLY STARTING TO SIT UP AND NOTICE
THE TALENT THAT MVP POSSESSED. AT APRIL'S BACKLASH, MVP DROPPED THE TITLE TO
HARDY, ENDING HIS RECORD REIGN AT 343 DAYS, THE THIRD LONGEST IN THE HISTORY OF
THE BELT. NOW, HE AIMS TO CLIMB THE LADDER EVEN HIGHER. THE UNIVERSAL WRESTLING
SYDNICATE WAS THE PERFECT WAY FOR HIM TO DO THAT, AND HIS FIRST MATCH IS A
REFLECTION OF THE OPPORTUNITY BEING PRESENTED TO HIM. HE JUST HAD TO GET ON TOP
OF IT.



SCENE ONE -- EVERYTHING’S BIGGER IN TEXAS


AS A WRESTLER WHO HAS BEEN COMPETING NOW FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS, MENTAL
PREPARATION WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS RATED VERY HIGHLY IN MONTEL’S PRIORITY LIST.
IT WAS FIVE HOURS BEFORE THE ANARCHY THEME PLAYED, AND YET THERE HE WAS, SITTING
IN HIS QUIET BUT VERY SPACIOUS AND SENSATIONAL LOCKER ROOM, HIS HEAD RESTING ON
THE HEADBOARD OF THE BED. HE SAT IN QUIET CONTEMPLATION, TRYING NOT TO OVEREXERT
HIMSELF. HE WAS WAITING ON A PHONE CALL FROM HIS AGENT, TYRONE MORGAN, TO FIND
OUT WHAT MATCH HE WOULD BE COMPETING IN LATER THAT NIGHT. HE RUBBED HIS TIRED
FACE, WONDERING IF IT WAS WORTH MAKING THE MOVE TO THE UNIVERSAL WRESTLING
SYNDICATE. WOULD IT BE A SUCCESS, OR JUST ANOTHER COMPANY TRYING TO MAKE A NAME
FOR ITSELF BUT FAILING MISERABLY? HE WANTED IT TO BE A SUCCESS, BUT HE ALSO
WANTED TO CLIMB TO THE TOP, AND SO THE PHONE CALL HE WAS TO RECEIVE FROM HIS
AGENT IN THE COMING MINUTES WAS GOING TO BE VITAL AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL
BE STICKING WITH THE COMPANY THAT HE WANTED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. HE LOOKED TO HIS
LEFT WITH A SIGH, PICKING UP HIS WHITE IPOD AND TURNING IT ON. HE SLIPPED THE
EARPHONES INTO HIS EARS AND LET HIS HEAD HIT THE HEADBOARD AGAIN. HE DIDN’T WANT
TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL HE RECEIVED THIS CALL, AND NOW IT WAS JUST A CASE OF
PLAYING THE WAITING GAME, SOMETHING HE REALLY DIDN’T LIKE DOING. IN HIS
PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING CAREER, MONTEL HAD BEEN THROUGH AN ARRAY OF AGENTS, BUT
HE NEVER FOUND ONE HE LIKED. HE WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO MAKE HIS OWN ASSUMPTIONS,
OR TO EMPLOY WHO HE WANTED TO EMPLOY. HE WAS ALWAYS NUDGED RATHER ANNOYINGLY
TOWARDS SOMEONE WHO TURNED OUT NOT TO BE AS GREAT AS THEY WERE MADE OUT TO BE.
TYRONE HAD BEEN PRETTY GOOD FOR HIM, BEING THE KEY FACTOR IN MONTEL JUMPING OVER
TO THE FLOURISHING UWS, AND MONTEL WAS GLAD ABOUT THAT. IT SEEMED THAT IT WAS
ALL TYRONE COULD DO THOUGH. HE FELT VIBRATIONS IN HIS FREE HAND. SMIRKING, HE
PULLED THE EARPHONES FROM HIS EARS AND BROUGHT HIS CELL PHONE TO HIS FACE,
CHECKING THE CALLER ID. ‘TYRONE’. AT LAST. HE ACCEPTED THE CALL AND PUT HIS
PHONE TO HIS EAR.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “MAN, IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU
CALLED ME! WHAT’S BEEN KEEPIN’ YOU SO LONG, DAWG?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “I ONLY JUST CAME OUT OF MY MEETING WITH
A UWS EXECUTIVE, SO KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TAME MONTEL, I’M DOIN’ THE BEST I CAN.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “YEAH, WELL I’M STARTING TO
THINK THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. WHY WERE YOU SO LONG
IN THE MEETING MAN, YOU WERE IN THERE FOR LIKE TWO HOURS.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “IT’S NICE TO SEE YOU’RE IN A GOOD MOOD,
MONTEL… ANYWAY, SARCASM ASIDE, I HAD A LOT OF PERSUASION TO DO IN THAT OFFICE,
MONTEL, AND IT’S ALL FOR THE BEST O’ YOUR CAREER. YOU WON’T BE INSULTIN’ ME
AFTER I TELL YOU THE GOOD NEWS.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “IT BETTER BE GOOD NEWS, FOR
YOUR SAKE MORGAN, OR ELSE YOUR SORRY ASS IS GONNA GET FIRED.”

MONTEL CROSSED HIS ANKLES. IT WAS SOMETHING HE DID WHEN HE WAS AGITATED, AND
RIGHT ABOUT NOW, YEAH, HE WAS AGITATED AS HELL. HE DIDN’T LIKE AGENTS WHO WOULD
BEAT AROUND THE BUSH. HE WANTED THE ANSWER, STRAIGHT AND SIMPLE, NO
GLORIFICATION, NO BUILD-UP, JUST COLD HARD TRUTH.

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “I MANAGED TO PULL SOME STRINGS, AND YOU,
MVP, ARE IN THE FIRST SUB-MAIN EVENT THIS EVENING.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “…SUB-MAIN EVENT? THE HELL’S
THAT, LIKE A TWO PART MAIN EVENT?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “YEAH, I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT THAT.
BUT WHERE THE MATCH IS ON THE CARD ISN’T THAT IMPORTANT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME,
‘CAUSE THE WINNER OF YOUR MATCH QUALIFIES FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE AT
HALLOWEEN HAVOC.”

MONTEL COULD BARELY BELIEVE HIS EARS. WAS HE HEARING THIS CORRECTLY?
CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE? HE THOUGHT THAT THE UWS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW ERA IN
SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, AND WOULD NOT DUPLICATE MAIN EVENT MATCHES THAT NEVER GOT
OFF THE GROUND FIRST TIME ROUND.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “A CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE,
AGAIN? THE SAME MATCH I QUALIFIED FOR IN THE WWE? THE SAME MATCH I WOULD HAVE
WON IF IT WENT AHEAD?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “THAT’S RIGHT.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “SO YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT I
HAVE TO QUALIFY ALL OVER AGAIN?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “WELL, YEAH BUT-”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “OH, WELL THAT’S FUCKING
GREAT ISN’T IT! YOU GOT ME A QUALIFYING MATCH… FOR A MATCH I ALREADY QUALIFIED
FOR?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “CALM DOWN MONTEL, IT’S NOT AS BAD AS
YOU’RE MAKING IT OUT TO BE. NOW LISTEN, ONE MATCH, ONE VICTORY, AND YOU’RE IN
THE MAIN EVENT AT THE INAUGURAL UWS PAY-PER-VIEW, YOU CAN’T ASK FOR MORE THAN
THAT. NOW, I TALKED TO THEM ABOUT YOU ALREADY QUALIFYING IN THE WWE, BUT THEY
SAID THIS ISN’T THE WWE, AND THAT YOU HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR THE UWS CHAMPIONSHIP
SCRAMBLE. IT WAS THE BEST I COULD DO MONTEL, AND I DOUBT THAT ANY OTHER AGENT
COULD HAVE MADE A DEAL LIKE I DID.”

MONTEL SLOWLY RELEASED HIS PENT UP ANGER AS A BREATH THROUGH HIS NOSE. HE HAD TO
LOOK AT IT FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. IT REALLY WAS JUST ONE VICTORY BETWEEN HIM
AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE, WHICH MEANT TWO VICTORIES BETWEEN HIM AND THE UWS
CHAMPIONSHIP. HE DIDN’T THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIMES THE CHAMPIONSHIP WOULD CHANGE
HANDS DURING THE COURSE OF THE MATCH, BUT WHY WOULD HE? THEY WOULD GO DOWN IN
THE RECORD BOOKS, ONLY THE WINNER OF THE WHOLE MATCH. SO, IT STILL STOOD AS TWO
VICTORIES BETWEEN HIM AND THE UWS CHAMPIONSHIP.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “ALRIGHT, WHO’S THE BITCH I
HAVE TO BEAT TO GET ME MY SCRAMBLE SPOT?”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “UH, THERE’S THREE OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR
MATCH.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “OH, JESUS H.! LAST TIME ALL
I HAD TO DO WAS BEAT A RETARD WHO COULD ONLY WRESTLE IF THE BELL WAS RUNG.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “YEAH, WELL OBVIOUSLY THE UWS WANT THE
VERY BEST TO BE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE AND THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE TOUGHER
OPPONENTS THIS TIME ROUND. IF YOU’RE AS GREAT AS YOU SAY YOU ARE, YOU’LL BE ABLE
TO DEFEAT THEM NO SWEAT, RIGHT?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “LESS OF THAT BOISTEROUS
TONE YOUNG MAN, I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “…I’M SIXTY-FIVE.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WELL, WHATEVER, POINT IS,
WHOEVER I HAVE TO FACE, I WILL DEFINITELY BEAT THEM, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, IT’S
JUST THAT THREE PEOPLE IS MORE THAN ONE.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “WELL AREN’T YOU THE MATHEMATICAL GENIUS…
I PITY THE EDUCATION SYSTEM THESE DAYS. ANY-WHICH-WAY, YOUR OPPONENTS TONIGHT
ARE CHRIS JERICHO, JOHN MORRISON AND TED DIBIASE JUNIOR.”

SO THAT WAS A HAS BEEN WHO CAN’T LET GO OF THE PAST, HOLLYWOOD’S TOILET PAPER,
AND SOMEONE LYNCHING OFF OF HIS FATHER’S SUCCESS…

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “SO THAT IS THREE VERY GOOD
ATHLETES. WELL, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE, NONE OF THEM MATCH UP TO ME. YOU
KNOW, THIS IS WHY I HIRED YOU.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “YEAH, AND I’M DON KING…”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “HAH, YOU’RE GOOD, BUT YOU
ARE NO DON KING. I’LL TALK TO YOU LATER, POPS.”

TYRONE MORGAN -- THE AGENT OF MR. 305: “POPS MY ASS.”

WITH A CHUCKLE, MONTEL ENDED THE CALL AND DROPPED HIS PHONE NEXT TO HIS IPOD.
THINGS WERE GOING TO BE A LOT SIMPLER NOW THAT HE KNEW WHO HE WAS UP AGAINST.
ONE THING HE WAS SURE OF WAS THE FACT THAT, DUE TO SOME WWE TRADEMARKS THAT
COULDN’T BE SALVAGED, MVP WAS FORCED TO CHANGE HIS ENTRANCE MUSIC. HE PUT HIS
EARPHONES BACK IN HIS EARS AND FOUND HIS NEW ENTRANCE MUSIC ON HIS IPOD - ‘WE
MADE IT’ BY BUSTA RHYMES FEATURING LINKIN PARK. IT WAS A SONG HE COULD LOSE
HIMSELF IN, AND SOMETHING THAT GENERALLY MADE HIM SMILE. HE TURNED THE VOLUME UP
THE WHOLE WAY. THIS WAS PROBABLY THE REASON WHY HE DIDN’T NOTICE THE LOUD KNOCK
AT THE DOOR, AND WHY CHRIS JERICHO ENDED UP BARGING INTO MVP’S LOCKER ROOM WITH
AN IRATE LOOK ON HIS FACE. NOTICING JERICHO’S ENTRANCE, MONTEL PULLED THE
EARPHONES AWAY FROM HIS EARS AND SAT UP STRAIGHT.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “UH, THIS IS MY LOCKER ROOM,
YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HERE…”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “I KNOW IT’S YOUR LOCKER ROOM… I
KNOCKED, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE TOO PRE-OCCUPIED LISTENING TO YOUR GANGSTER
MUSIC OR WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS YOU LISTEN TO.”

MONTEL, STILL WITH AN ANGERED EXPRESSION, SWUNG HIS LEGS SO THEY WERE DANGLING
OFF THE SIDE OF THE BED AND GOT TO HIS FEET. THESE LOCKER ROOMS WERE PRETTY
SMALL, AND THE ONLY PLACE WHERE MVP COULD PUT HIS BED WAS IN THE FAR CORNER OF
THE ROOM, STILL IN SIGHT OF THE FRONT DOOR. SOME PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW
UNNECESSARY IT WAS, BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY DIDN’T CARE AS MUCH FOR THE PROMOTION AS
HE DID. HE NEEDED HIS REST BEFORE A MATCH SO HE COULD PERFORM TO HIS BEST.
JERICHO WAS WASTING HIS PREPARATION TIME.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “LISTEN, JERICHO, NO OFFENSE
BUT YOU MUST BE PRETTY UNINSPIRING IF YOUR BEST INSULTS ARE REGARDING MY TASTE
IN MUSIC, WHICH I MUST SAY IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU’RE INTO ANYWAY. WEREN’T YOU
IN A BAND ONCE? FUZZY?”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “IT’S FOZZY… AND YOU MUST BE
QUITE DULL YOURSELF IF ALL YOU’RE DOING IS LISTENING TO MUSIC. YOU’RE NOT AS
MUCH OF A VIP AS YOU SAY YOU ARE, HUH?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WHAT’S IT GOT TO DO WITH
ANYTHING? CAN’T THE MVP HAVE ANY TIME TO HIMSELF? OR WERE YOU MAYBE HOPING TO
TAKE SOME LEAVES FROM MY BOOK TO COPY MY TRAINING RITUAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
THAT’S NOT HOW I WORK, YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN TRAINING RITUALS. I KNOW I’M
BETTER THAN YOU, AND I KNOW I’LL BE WINNING TONIGHT, BUT PLEASE, HAVE SOME
COURTESY, YEAH?”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “HAVE SOME COURTESY YOURSELF, I
CAME HERE TO WISH YOU LUCK IN OUR MATCH TONIGHT, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE TOO
GROUCHY TO ACCEPT MY WELL-WISHES. YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF
THE BED - SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHY DO YOU HAVE A BED IN YOUR LOCKER ROOM?”

MONTEL STEPPED TOWARDS JERICHO, NOT APPRECIATING HIM BARGING INTO HIS SPACE LIKE
THIS. ONE THING HE COULD NOT STAND WAS INVASION OF PRIVACY.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “LUCK? LUCK?! WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU THINK I NEED LUCK FOR? I DON’T GO BY SIMPLE LUCK, DAWG, I SUCCEED BY MY
TALENT. I DEFEAT MY ENEMIES WITH MY SUCCESS, AND THAT’S HOW I BECAME THE BEST.
AND WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I HAVE A BED IN MY LOCKER ROOM? I LIKE MY REST, WHICH
I CAN’T GET ON THOSE AWFUL PLASTIC CHAIRS AND WOODEN BENCHES.”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “THE BEST? NO JUNIOR, YOU’RE
DEFINITELY WRONG THEY’RE, YOU’RE NOT THE BEST. I’M THE BEST. I’M THE FIRST AND
ONLY UNDISPUTED CHAMPION, THE EIGHT-TIME INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION, AND MUCH
MORE. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO YOUR CREDIT, ‘DAWG’?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “LOOK OLD MAN, I’M NOT SURE
IF YOU NOTICED OR NOT, BUT THIS ISN’T THE WWE… THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL WRESTLING
SYNDICATE, AND YOUR WWE ACHIEVEMENTS COUNT FOR NOTHING. WE’RE STARTING FROM
SCRATCH, YOU DIG? AND AT UWS, I’M THE TOP DOG, NOT YOU, NOT ANYONE ELSE. I WILL
BE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH, AND YOU WILL BE WISHING YOU GAVE ME A
LITTLE MORE RESPECT.”

JERICHO SIMPLY USED A SCOWL AS HIS RESPONSE, MVP LOOKED DOWN AT THE SLIGHTLY
SMALLER JERICHO. THERE WAS A LOOK OF UNPRECEDENTED INTENSITY IN MVP’S EYES,
SOMETHING THAT CRITICS HAD PICKED UP ON IN THE PAST AND WERE SURE TO DO IN THE
FUTURE, WHEN MVP BECAME THE UWS CHAMPION.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION,
JERICHO. LET’S SAY, YOU’RE SITTING ON A SUNBED. YOUR KNEES ARE UP, ‘CAUSE YOU’RE
PROPPING A BOOK ON THEM. A FLY LANDS ON YOUR THIGH - IS IT ABOVE OR BELOW YOUR
KNEE?”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “UH, WHAT?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “IT’S NOT HARD JERICHO, JUST
ANSWER THE QUESTION…”

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “IT’S ABOVE MY KNEE…”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “SEE, THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE
WRONG. YOUR KNEES ARE HIGHER IN THE AIR THAN YOUR THIGHS ARE, SO REALLY, IT
WOULD BE BELOW THE POINT WHERE YOUR KNEE IS. SEE, THAT’S WHAT SEPARATES YOU AND
ME.”

JERICHO LOOKED PUZZLE, HIS ARMS FOLDED IN AN UNSECURE MANNER.

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “THIGHS?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “NO, IT’S MY LATERAL WAY OF
THINKING. IT MEANS I CAN OUTSMART YOU, I CAN THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. IT’LL COME
IN HANDY WHEN I BEAT YOU, MORRISON AND DIBIASE JUNIOR TONIGHT IN THAT SQUARED
CIRCLE.”

MONTEL WALKED OVER TO HIS BED AND PICKED UP HIS CELL PHONE, SLIPPING IT INTO HIS
JEANS POCKET. HE THEN TURNED AROUND AND WALKED BACK OVER TO JERICHO, STOPPING
INCHES AWAY FROM HIM.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “YOU’RE LOSIN’ YOUR TOUCH,
OLD MAN. LOOK AT YOU, STICKING YOUR HAIR UP AT THE FRONT, TRYING TO FIND OUT
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE YOUNG AGAIN. LOOKS LIKE THAT GOATEE YOU USED TO HAVE EXCEPT
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR HEAD.”

MONTEL REACHED UP TO TOUCH THE SPIKED-UP PART OF JERICHO’S HAIR. JERICHO, IN A
FLASH, SNAPPED HIS ARM UP AND GRABBED MONTEL BY THE WRIST, STOPPING HIM FROM
TOUCHING HIS HAIR.

CHRIS JERICHO -- SAVING HIMSELF… FROM HIMSELF: “YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT
ME, MONTEL… BUT NEVER… EVER… EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRRRRR… TOUCH MY ‘DO. I CAN
SEE THAT YOUR PERIOD IS DUE AND YOU NEED SOME TIME ALONE, SO I’M OUT NOW. YOU’VE
JUST MADE YOURSELF AN ENEMY.”

WITH THAT, JERICHO TURNED ON HIS HEEL AND WALKED OUT, LEAVING MVP TO LAUGH AT
THE RIDICULOUSNESS. HE RETURNED TO HIS BED AND PUT HIS EARPHONES BACK IN HIS
EARS, LEANING BACK AND CHILLAXIN’. AFTER ALL, HE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.



SCENE TWO -- THE MANDATORY INTERVIEW


IT IS NOW TWO HOURS UNTIL THE START OF THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT ANARCHY SHOW AT THE
AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER IN TEXAS. MONTEL HAS CHANGED INTO HIS WRESTLING GEAR.
NOW, HE’S MORE FOCUSED THAN EVER. TONIGHT WAS DO OR DIE, MAKE OR BREAK, SUCCEED
OR FAIL. HE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND HE KNEW THAT, BUT HE STILL HAD TO
PREPARE FOR THE MATCH - WHICH, HE HAD ALREADY DONE. HE WAS READY TO GO, AND SO
NOW, HE WAS WALKING UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDORS AIMLESSLY, LETTING THE TIME PASS
HIM BY. HE HAD BEEN INFORMED EARLIER THAT HE HAD A VIP LOUNGE TONIGHT, WITH EDGE
AS HIS SPECIAL GUEST. THE LACK OF ORGANIZATION THAT THE FEDERATION PRESENTED
ASTOUNDED PORTER. YOU’D THINK THAT FOR A COMPANY THAT HAD IT’S DEBUT SHOW THAT
NIGHT, AND WAS AIMING TO BE BETTER THAN THE WWE EVER WAS, THAT THEY’D HAVE AT
LEAST A SMIDGEON OF ORGANIZATION INSTEAD OF LEAVING THINGS TO THE LAST MOMENT.
WHAT DID IT MATTER ANYWAY… MONTEL HAD LEARNED TO ADAPT, AND HE KNEW THAT HE WAS
BETTER OFF HAVING AN UNSCRIPTED VIP LOUNGE WHERE HE THOUGHT OF QUESTIONS INSIDE
THE RING. HE’D ALREADY PREPARED HIMSELF FOR AN ALTERCATION WITH EDGE. AFTER ALL,
IT DIDN’T TAKE A LOT TO ANGER EDGE, HE SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES OF SOME SORT.
MONTEL WASN’T REALLY PAYING THE CLOSEST OF ATTENTION TO WHERE HE WAS GOING, BUT
IN THE DISTANCE, CRANING HIS NECK ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE, WAS THE AGONIZINGLY
FAMILIAR FACE OF TODD GRISHAM, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO INTERVIEW. IN HIS PURPLE
AND BLACK JUMPSUIT, MONTEL WAS KINDA NOTICEABLE, BUT HE KEPT HIS HEAD BOWED AND
TRIED TO CARRY ON WALKING PAST TODD. UNFORTUNATELY, MONTEL WAS THE REASON FOR
TODD CRANING HIS NECK, AND LIKE A BABY TO CANDY, TODD FLEW THE CROW’S ROUTE TO
MONTEL, AND DRAGGED HIM ASIDE.

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “MONTEL, GLAD I CAUGHT YOU. WAS WONDERING IF WE
COULD RECORD AN INTERVIEW THAT CAN BE USED LATER TONIGHT?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “THIS PLACE IS SO
UNORGANIZED IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. DON’T YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE? SHOULDN’T YOU HAVE
ASKED ME BEFOREHAND SO I COULD AT LEAST PREPARE MYSELF? HONESTLY, AND I THOUGHT
THIS PLACE WAS SUPPOSED TO SURPASS THE WWE… SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHY DID THEY HIRE
YOU?”

A LOOK OF ASTOUNDED SHOCK HIT TODD’S FACE, TAKEN ABACK BY MONTEL’S WORDS. HE
DIDN’T WANT TO ENTER A DISPUTE, AND SO HE KEPT COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL ABOUT THE
WHOLE MATTER.

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO IF YOU DON’T WANT TO MONTEL,
I’M JUST DOING MY JOB. GOD, I’M LIKE THE TRAFFIC WARDEN OF THE WRESTLING
INDUSTRY, PEOPLE HATE ME JUST FOR DOING WHAT I’M TOLD TO. IS THAT SO WRONG?!”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WELL WE MIGHT AS WELL GET
IT OVER WITH NOW, BUT MARK MY WORDS, YOU HAVE MADE ME A VERY UNHAPPY MAN.”

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “DON’T BE SO ANGRY ABOUT IT MONTEL, I’M NOT
FORCING YOU INTO THIS, YOU CAN BACK OUT AT ANY MOMENT.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “JUST ASK ME THE DAMN
QUESTIONS, SHIT.”

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “YOU’LL HAVE TO FOLLOW ME TO THE MAKESHIFT
STUDIO SO IT’S QUIET AND STUFF.”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, JEEZ. AND
YOU QUESTION WHY PEOPLE HATE YOU SO MUCH?”

SILENTLY, TODD SCUTTLED AWAY, MONTEL WALKING BEHIND HIM, TRYING HIS BEST TO MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE HE WASN’T FOLLOWING TODD. LUCKILY FOR HIM, THIS MAKESHIFT STUDIO
WASN’T FAR AWAY, AND SOON TODD AND MONTEL WERE IN A SECLUDED ROOM, ACCOMPANIED
ONLY BY THE CAMERAMEN AND SOUNDMEN. MONTEL STOOD IN FRONT OF THE ANARCHY TV, AND
WAITED RATHER IMPATIENTLY FOR TODD TO ASK HIS QUESTIONS. AFTER MONTEL MADE A
FAIRLY AUDIBLE SIGH, TODD SCUTTLED OVER. HE CHECKED THAT THE RED LIGHT ON THE
CAMERA WAS ON, MEANING THAT THEY WERE ROLLING, AND THE FOOTAGE COULD BE TRIMMED
LATER FOR USE IN TONIGHT’S SHOW. HE CLEARED HIS THROAT AS MONTEL ROLLED HIS
EYES. THIS MAN SERIOUSLY NEEDED TO GET LAID OR SOMETHING.

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, STANDING WITH ME NOW IS A
POTENTIAL ENTRANT INTO HALLOWEEN HAVOC’S UWS CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH, MONTEL
VONTAVIOUS POR-”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WHOA, WHOA, WHOA…
POTENTIAL? MAN, YOU SAY THAT LIKE THERE’S A CHANCE I MAY NOT BE IN THAT SCRAMBLE
MATCH ON OCTOBER 5TH… YOU SAY THAT AS IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I WILL NOT
WIN TONIGHT. SEE, WHERE I’M FROM, THAT’S DISRESPECT. EVERYBODY REFUSES TO GIVE
ME A CHANCE WITH THIS MATCH. THEY TOO BUSY HUMPIN’ JERICHO’S LEG, THEY TOO BUSY
BADLY IMITATING TED DIBIASE, “AHA, I’M PRICELESS”, AND THEY TOO BUSY PRETENDING
TO BE BADASS BY PREDICTING MORRISON TO WIN TONIGHT. IN MY SHORT WRESTLING
TENURE, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED THE UNDERDOG. HEH, THAT SHIT MIGHT WORK
FOR REY MYSTERIO, BUT FOR ME? NUH UH. SO PLEASE, IN FUTURE TODD, GET IT RIGHT.”

TODD LOOKED SLIGHTLY BEWILDERED, HAVING RECEIVED A WHIRLWIND OF THOUGHTS FROM
MONTEL BEFORE EVEN ASKING HIS FIRST QUESTION. HE STRAIGHTENED HIS JACKET AND
JUST CONTINUED.

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR YOUR
MATCH LATER ON TONIGHT?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WHAT AM I DOING? I’M NOT
GOING TO REVEAL MY SECRETS, I HAVE A VERY FINE-TUNED PREPARATION RITUAL THAT I
PERFORM BEFORE ALL OF MY MATCHES, I AIN’T GIVIN’ AWAY MY SECRETS. I’LL HAVE YOU
KNOW, I AM THE HIGHEST PAID SUPERSTAR HERE, THE FRANCHISE PLAYER. IF I GAVE AWAY
MY HUSH-HUSH, WHAT WOULD THAT MAKE ME? IT WOULD MAKE ME ONE OF A CROWD. I DON’T
DO CROWDS. EVER SINCE DAY ONE, I HAVE BEEN A ONE IN SIX-BILLION CHARACTER. I AM
THE ONLY MVP ON THIS PLANET, AND I DON’T NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT I DO TO PREPARE
FOR MY MATCH. I WILL NOT GIVE MY OPPONENTS THE SATISFACTION.”

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “MONTEL, DO YOU REALIZE THAT SEVERAL OF THE
UNIVERSAL WRESTLING SYNDICATE EXECUTIVES WERE SKEPTICAL ABOUT SIGNING YOUR
CONTRACT?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “WELL THEN, LATER ON
TONIGHT, I WILL BE PROVING THEM, AND ALL THE OTHER DOUBTERS, WRONG. I’VE HAD MY
FAIR SHARE OF DOUBTERS OVER THE YEARS, AND I MUST SAY, I KINDA ENJOY PEOPLE
DOUBTING ME. I GET INSPIRATION FROM IT, BECAUSE IF PEOPLE THINK I AIN’T GONNA
PERFORM WELL, THEN I CAN GO OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE I PROVE THEM WRONG. SO WHEN
I WIN MY MATCH LATER ON TONIGHT, THE EXECUTIVES WHO DIDN’T WANT TO SIGN MY
CONTRACT WILL BE GLAD THAT THEY DID. ALL THE OTHER STARS, THEY TWINKLE, TWINKLE.
I’M THE BIGGEST STAR OF THEM ALL, AND I KNOW HOW TO SHINE. IT’S MY TIME TO HAVE
THE LIMELIGHT, AND THERE AIN’T NOBODY WHO CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. I WILL
PROVE TONIGHT THAT I DESERVE TO BE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE, AND I WILL DO
THAT BY DOMINATING JERICHO, DIBIASE AND MORRISON.”

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “CHRIS JERICHO, TED DIBIASE JUNIOR AND JOHN
MORRISON… THESE ARE ALL BIG NAMES - WHAT GIVES YOU THE EDGE OVER THEM?”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “EXCUSE ME IF I REPEAT YOUR
QUESTIONS PARROT FASHION, BUT THEY ARE TRULY IDIOTIC AND I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY
- WHAT GIVES ME THE EDGE OVER MY OPPONENTS? WELL, MY IRREFUTABLE DESIRE FOR ONE
THING, MY UNBELIEVABLE TALENT FOR ANOTHER. I’M THE STRONGEST, QUICKEST, MOST
AGILE ATHLETE IN WRESTLING HISTORY. I’M HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING, CORNROW WEARING,
SAVIOR-FARING, JAW DROPPIN’, BOTTLE TOPPIN’, MODERN DAY MACK. I’M THE LONGEST
REIGNING UNITED STATES CHAMPION IN WWE HISTORY. I’M WEARING SO MUCH ICE, I’M
ABOUT TO CATCH HYPOTHERMIA. THERE’S NOT A BETTER ATHLETE ON THE PLANET THAN MVP.
AND YOU’RE ASKING ME WHAT GIVES ME THE EDGE OVER MY OPPONENTS? YOU REALLY ARE
MORE STUPID THAN YOU LOOK.”

AGAIN, A SOMEWHAT TRAUMATIZED LOOK APPEARED ON TODD’S FACE. HE WAS ALWAYS BEING
SHUNNED BY THE WRESTLING SUPERSTARS, BUT HE KNEW HE WAS TOO MUCH OF A WEED TO DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO, HE SHUT HIS MOUTH, CLEARED HIS THROAT AND PREPARED THE
NEXT QUESTION MENTALLY, MONTEL SHIFTING HIS WEIGHT ONTO ONE LEG AND CLASPING HIS
HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK.

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “FINALLY MONTEL-”

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “THAT’S MR. PORTER TO YOU,
HOTSHOT.”

TODD GRISHAM -- NOT HIM AGAIN…: “UH, MR. PORTER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO
YOUR OPPONENTS FOR LATER THIS EVENING?”

MONTEL KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY. HE TURNED TO THE CAMERA AND LE HIS
BROW HANG OVER HIS EYES SLIGHTLY, STARING AT THE CAMERA WITH A DAUNTING SCOWL.

MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER -- HALF MAN, HALF AMAZING: “BIG THINGS POPPIN’… LITTLE
THINGS - STOPPIN’.”

WITH THAT, MVP WALKED AWAY, LEAVING A PUZZLED TODD TO ORDER THE CAMERAS TO CUT.
MVP HAD BIGGER FISH TO FRY. ONLY ONE THING WAS STANDING BETWEEN HIM AND HIS
MATCH NOW, AND THAT WAS THE VIP LOUNGE WITH GUEST STAR, EDGE. THEN, HE COULD
REALLY FOCUS ON HIS BIG BREAK.
