An old grungy sign reads PETE'S GYM in bold letters. The sign is elevated over a low income downtown Pittsburgh neighborhood where the gym is located. A few people having a smoke congregate in front of the gym.

The front door opens and the camera enters through into the rundown building. Stains cover the carpeted front hallway. The hallway leads to an old rotting wood reception desk with no one behind it.

The camera passes through the hallway into a giant warehouse with exposed pipes and sheet metal duct work across the ceiling. Four black walls are covered in old and new wrestling pictures along with punching bags.

A few exercise bikes lineup neatly in a row. The old bikes look like they are guarding a dusty wrestling ring behind them. The ropes are worn out and the mat is so old its turned yellow from what looks like used to be white.

Inside the ring, the self proclaimed 'Beast from the East' RussianRose paces back and forth. A young well built wrestler lays on the mat in obvious pain in front of him.

In between the squared circle and the row of exercise bikes there are two black steel chairs. Alexei Medved, brother and manager of RussianRose, occupies one of the chairs. Beside him, backstage and resident XWF interviewer, Steve Sayor sits patiently watching the sparring contest in front of him.

Steve momentarily takes his eye off the two men in the ring and looks around at the old gym and then at the well dressed Alexei Medved who sports his usual black fitted suit and slicked back grayish/blonde hair.

He looks ready. Steve says with a smile.

Alexei nods his head and continues watching the warm up match. RussianRose picks up his sparring partner and launches him into the turnbuckle. Both men are equally sized but definitely not equally skilled as RussianRose pounces on the other wrestler. Evgeni locks in a rear naked choke as the young man holds on for dear life.

The Beast frrrom East in natu-rrral habitat. This is what I love to see. This is what any wrrr-estling enthusiast love to see, Steve.

Alexei speaks without taking his eyes off both men in the ring. RussianRose's opponent rolls out of the hold and both competitors meet with a strong lock up in the middle of the ring. Evgeni breaks out of the lock up and shoves his opponent. The young wrestler takes a step back and that's when RussianRose runs into him with a shoulder block, sending him crashing down to the mat. XWF's newest superstar wastes no time picking up his opponent and then hoisting him up and throwing him over his shoulders with a German suplex.

He has spent all waking moment on pre-parrring for this match. I have neverrr seen brrrother Evgeni like this before. He is motivated, Steve. He wants to win, losing is not option forrr Evgeni.

Inside the ring both wrestlers take a quick break. RussianRose looks in great shape not even yet to break a sweat. On the other hand, his opponent, chugs back a bottle of water and tries to dry himself off with a towel. Evgeni is ready once again in the middle of the ring and waits on his opponent.

After this weeks Savage, RussianRose has been scheduled in a three way match against two very fierce wrestlers. The focus will be shifted from Pittsburgh to Newcastle... From Saturday Night Savage to Wednesday Night Warfare. I know that Savage is around the corner but I want to know about your feelings on this Warfare match, Alexei?

Alexei locks eyes with Steve. As the match starts again with a running RussianRose becoming the victim of a hip toss. He gets right back to his feet and stares down his opponent.

Well, Mr. Steve, the Medved camp is make sure brrrother Evgeni is ready to wrestle in match with two otherrr fight-errrs! Evgeni is morrre then excited. He want fight with two sup-rrreme athletes. He want to prrr-ooove himself anyway he can. I am certain he will de-strrroy. I am certain!

Again both wrestlers lock up in the middle of the ring. Evgeni's competitor squeezes him into a side headlock but RussianRose quickly overpowers him. He reverses and executes a perfect DDT.

Seeing what I've seen, I am confident in brrrother Evgeni's ability. He work hard. He work too hard, all so he can be best. I have seen him rrrise to top in the past. I have seen him defeat some of toughest man on planet.

RussianRose nails an elbow drop and then grabs his opponent by the trunks. The young wrestler stands up but seems dazed. Evgeni picks up his opponent in a bear hug like maneuver and begins to squeeze the life out of him. It's the trademark Weeping Rose submission lock! Evgeni releases the hold after a few seconds and his opponent drops to the ground motionless.

What a devastating lock! RussianRose looks more then capable to be competing in the XWF. I can't wait to see him on the XWF.

Steve Sayor seems very impressed by the in ring talent of Evgeni Medved.

He is capable to win all matches, Steve. He is capable of becoming Champion, Steve. This you know, this I know, this everrry-body will know. First will be Bilbo, second and third will be RRRED-X AND AZRRR-EAL! Soon will be all rrroster, match by match people will know trruth. It's facts of life Steve!

RussianRose dries himself off with a towel as he watches his opponent finally get up. The warm up match is obviously over. Evgeni's opponent has had enough. RussianRose begins to suit up in a grey cotton track suit after drying off.

It was great you guys let me come out here and watch your brother train. He looks very impressive.

Alexei stands up and takes a few steps toward his brother. He has a few words with him in his native tongue before turning back to face Steve.

Evgeni thanks you forrr coming but now rrre-quests you leave.

Steve's eyes become wide, he has a shocked look on his face. He looks saddened and personally offended.

Well...ugh...well...if it was ok I was hoping to have a few words with the Beast from the East. I-I-I mean if it's ok with him of course.

Alexei turns back to his brother and translates Steve's words to his brother. RussianRose looks annoyed as Alexei continues to explain. Finally Evgeni rolls out of the ring and takes a step towards the XWF local reporter. Steve nervously smiles towards the giant Russian wrestler. He's intimidated but tries his best to do his job.

I just want to thank you for letting me come here today and watch you train. I've been in the business for awhile now and I haven't seen too many people wrestle like you can.

Steve is obviously kissing ass and RussianRose knows it.

LITTLE MAN...

RussianRose stands stiff and stares at Steve. The noise of Steve's chair dragging can be heard through out the old time gym. He's pushing away from the huge statured RussianRose. Reality is sinking in, he is alone, just him and a cameraman. No one else except for a massively built professional wrestler and his manager/brother. RussianRose senses the fear, he smells it like a shark smells blood in the ocean waters.

I DO NOT WANT TALK TOO MUCH LIKE MOST IN XWF. I WANT TO SHOW YOU- I WANT TO SHOW EVERRRY PEOPLE THE DAMAGE I WILL CAUSE. MY TALKING WILL BE DONE INSIDE RRRRRING!

Steve is thankful that RussianRose is not hostile towards him. At least not for now.

Mr. Medved soon you will be making your debut for the most electrifying company in all of sports. Most critics seem to have you highly projected for success but others argue on whether you can fit into the culture of XWF.

RussianRose raises his hands towards a still seated Steve Sayor. He looks as if he's going to rip the reporter to shreds. Alexei intervenes before anything can get physical. He stands in between a livid looking Evgeni Medved and a quivering Steve Sayor.

People will say what they want to say. America is free count-rrry.

Alexei speaks up. Steve realizes he has somehow escaped major bodily harm and seems frozen with uncomfort as he listens to Alexei who continues on.

All I carrrre- all WE carrre about is task at hand. Trrrust me when I say RussianRose eat, sleep and breathe this sport. People will think beating Bilbo will be fluke or beginnerrr's luck. But when they see Evgeni manhandle two opponents and I am confident he will manhandle, they will see trrruth.

Alexei stands between his brother who stares across at Steve Sayor. Steve tries to lower the hostility.

Its obvious RussianRose is a top notch technical performer. He has over 100 professional matches to his name and has been perfecting his craft for over a decade. I like the no nonsense attitude and I think alot of guys in the locker room could learn a thing or too from Evgeni.

RussianRose has a cold look on his face. He grunts at Steve in a Russian/English mix.

ENOUGH AMERIKOSY IGNORRRANT ZADRRROSKY! TIME TO DEPARRRT!

RussianRose is not impressed with Steve's ass kissing tactics. Steve begins signaling his cameraman towards the door. He is in a panic as he tries to address the viewers. RussianRose can be seen snarling in the background.

That's all the time we have for today folks... Steve Sayor signing off for now.

As Steve leaves the scene, Medved's sparring partner enters, he smiles and laughs at RussianRose trying to break the ice. RussianRose is annoyed, he slowly fills with rage, raises a fist and clocks the young wrestler square across his jaw. The unknown wrestler tumbles to the ground and RussianRose jumps on him and starts mauling him like a starving grizzley bear. The camera leaves the scene as both brothers can be heard shouting in Russian.
