The scene is the living room of Casa Del Cole-Ericson. The players, Flynn Andrew Cole-Ericson, an XWF Camera Man and the XWF's lone remaining Interviewer Steve Sayors.
Flynn is seated on the couch in what has become his typical casual wear. A tan tank top, shorts and flip flops. Across from him seated in a chair is Steve Sayors. Ever the professional Steve is wearing an official XWF polo shirt, and slacks. He and Flynn are casually talking while the camera man finishes setting up all of the equipment. Once everything is set up properly the unnamed cameraman walks over to Steve and places a small mic on Sayor's shirt and then he does the same with Flynn. With everything finally being in place the cameraman motions over to Steve who silently nods just as the cameraman turns the camera on. An action signified by a small light on top of the camera turning red.
S.S: "Hello everyone my name is Steve Sayors and we are here with Flynn Andrew Cole-Ericson. One of the newest members of the XWF roster and potentially one half of the XWF tag team champions come Wednesday night. Flynn. Welcome."
"Thanks bro. I really appreciate you giving me the chance to speak with you like this. You could have picked anyone to interview. Like Vinnie Lane. That guy totally deserves a one on one with you. He's the next Universal Champ bro I'm telling you. I got a good feeling. Or you could have picked the current tag team champs, or even any of my boys in the Brick Squad. But you picked me and I really appreciate it man."
S.S: "You're very welcome. I like to give all the new faces a chance to address the fans and so this is your chance. You won your first match, a tag team match in which your partner was fellow Brick Squad member and current Xtreme Champion Bruce Blingsteen. Tell me, what was that experience like?"
"Honestly bro it was pretty surreal. Not only did I get to make my debut alongside one of my boys but we got the win. Those two women they give it everything they had, they tried real hard but at the end of the day bro, they just couldn't hang. But I appreciated how hard they fought. They made me earn that win and I'm grateful for that. I really am."
S.S: "Talk to me a little bit about Brick Squad. How did it come about? It seems like Carson Waters is the leader of the group is that accurate?"
"That is accurate in a sense. I wouldn't say that the Squad has a leader per say but Carson is the spokesperson. Everything we do such as challenging The Black Hand it happened as a result of a group discussion. We all agreed that it was something worth doing and so Carson made the challenge. I guess in the most basic way yeah Carson is the boss and that's cool with us. As for how we came about. Well originally Carson and Bruce were going to get a team going just the two but then I showed up and those two guys saw something in me. They approached me and we got to talking and I asked if I could be part of their thing. They agreed and Brick Squad was born bro. You all saw Dick ask to join up and then right after that it was HH. There's not really any kind of special story or anything like that bro. Just a couple of guys who go by the same credo of WWJD."
S.S: "WWJD?"
"Yeah bro. Women. Wrestling. Joints. Daily."
S.S: "Sounds exciting."
"It totally is bro. Think about it. We're all living the dream right now. Just a couple of young guys hanging out, earning a paycheck wrestling. Kicking back some brews, lighting up some bud and partying it up. Not trying to sound obnoxious or anything bro but who wouldn't want that kind of life?"
S.S: "I see your point. You mentioned the Brick Squad challenging The Black Hand, what is that all about? Is there some kind of history there? Some animosity?"
"I don't think so bro. At least not from my end. I can't speak for the guys in The Black Hand and I don't want to speak for any of my boys but really we just thought it would be something fun to do. Right now The Black Hand and the Brick Squad are the two new crews on the block so why not try and get something going? Plus it should be fun. Especially with me and Carson facing Maverick and Scully this coming week."
S.S: "Maverick and Scully the new tag team champions. Why did you and Carson decide to target them? You said it's not personal so why them?"
"Well first things first. It wasn't Maverick and Scully that Carson and I were targeting. It was the tag team titles. Regardless of who held them. Whether it was those guys in Defiance or Maverick and Scully. It just so happens that Maverick and Scully won so the challenge went out to them. From what I understand the tag team division has been a bit of a joke for a while and so Carson and I wanted to change that. Our hope is that we win the titles on Wednesday and then we will welcome any and all challengers. Defiance went unchallenged for what a month? Month and a half bro? The guys they bought the titles off of? Couldn't be bothered to defend them. And then before that it was just an endless game of musical tag titles. We want to change that bro."
S.S: "I see. So I guess for Maverick and Scully it's just a matter of wrong place wrong time?"
"I guess you could say that sure. Like I said bro it's nothing personal. Those guys are cool. They've done a lot for the slow community so I give them mad props for that."
S.S: "Ok so that's next Wednesday how about your next match. You're taking on another relative newcomer Thunderbolt X. How did that match come about?"
"Well bro it's funny. Thunderbolt said he was a big fan of my work and issued a challenge. Now at the time I hadn't had my debut match yet nor had I cut any promos so I don't know exactly what work he was talking about bro but it's ok man. We all make mistakes. Like that shirt and pants combo you're rocking Steve. Not the best choice but it's cool bro. So anyway Thunderbolt he issued the challenge and I thought to myself, this guy is clearly a big fan and if he wants to have a match with me who am I to say no? That wouldn't be cool bro. So I accepted the challenge and come Monday night me and Thunderbolt will square off."
S.S: "Are you feeling good about your chances in that match?"
"Absolutely bro. I think it will be a great match. I'm really looking forward to it. I know that no matter what Thunderbolt will bring his A game and he knows that I'll do the same and really that's all either of us can ask for right? It will be a good clean fight and the best man will come out on top. If it's me, great. If it's my opponent well then good for him. Whoever wins will definitely deserve it that's for sure."
S.S: "The way you said that it made it sound like winning isn't really a priority for you. Is that an accurate statement?"
"Yeah bro that's pretty much it. I was hired by Mr. Oaktree to do a job and that is to entertain the fans. Winning isn't the end all be all for me. Sure winning is fun. Who doesn't want to hear the crowd cheering and chanting your name after a big win? That's the ultimate right bro? But for me. I just want to put on a good show. Entertain the fans. If I win great. If I don't I'll still be happy with myself because I'll know I gave it everything I had and that's the most important thing to me."
S.S: "I have to say Flynn it's not often, if ever that you hear a professional wrestler come out and say that they don't care about winning. Especially in a sport as ultra competitive as wrestling."
"I get that bro. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with going out there wanting to win every match. I'd guess most folks are like that but not me bro. I'm just here to have fun and put on a show for the fans and I think they can appreciate that."
S.S: "Now I understand Thunderbolt offered you a spot in his group Tri Force Extreme but you turned him down, why was that?"
"Well Steve I really appreciated his offer. It meant a lot to me that he was willing to offer me a spot in his group and as much as I felt bad about it I had to turn him down. Brick Squad is my priority and I just felt like if I tried to be part of two groups at once I would be doing a disservice to both and that wouldn't be right. But I really do appreciate his offer and I wish him and his group nothing but the best of luck."
S.S: "Well that's all the questions I have Flynn is there anything else you want to say to anyone? Your upcoming opponents or maybe the fans? Anyone?"
"Yes actually I would. First to my opponents next week. Good luck. I look forward to facing each of you. To the fans, thank you for your warm reception towards me so far. It's meant a lot. Truly I am doing this for all of you and lastly thank you Steve for giving me this chance to talk to you and to everyone else. It means a lot. Thank you."
The Cameraman switches off the camera and the screen transitions from black to an graphic of the XWF.
