"Jim! JIM!!"

I sigh and I halt.

"What is it Steve? Look, I'm a busy man, I have to get at least a few hours sleep in at the hotel before catching the earliest flight I can find. I've got a title to defend on Savage in Oakland."

"Just a few moments of your time?" I exhale in exaggerated exasperation and nod. "Excellent...Jim, the round 3 match-"

I snatch Steve's mic.

"Yes, the round 3 match. Scully...I don't give a shit if you don't reply or inject some half-assed quip in response...good job tonight. I see now why you're a legend in the XWF. Robbie...I wish it hadnt been taken to the lengths we took it but despite the spiteful semantic slapfest, I respect you no less than I have since day one. Tell Blue I'm sorry for what I said. Trax, thank you for preserving my life this past Friday, thank you for gelling with a psycho like me. We may not have gotten the clean win but fuck it, we're off to the finals. See you there."

I hand Steve his mic and turn to leave.

"Jim WAIT!" I turn in irritation. "A few weeks ago you unmasked Buronan in the halls at HQ. Did you KNOW Buronan's secret identity?"

"There was a second mask beneath the first Steve, kinda like Wade's unmasking by Domino at the end of Deadpool but an actual second mask. No, I didn't know Buronan's identity, I figured the effort justified the desire for secrecy...not to mention I didn't think it wise to piss off my second round partner before the match."

"So now that you know Buronan was Dolly Waters, your thoughts?"

I find myself...and I can't believe it, I find myself...............smiling. I turn and walk away.

"A smile? Is that good or bad?"

I call back over my shoulder. "This is the XWF Steve...probably a bit of both but I'm glad that lil' asskicker is back!"

Steve looks to the camera and shrugs as if it to say "good enough" before returning his gaze to the halls of Arena Zagreb for the next XWF star to interview.
