Reflection on Perfection

[Bruce Bolt]

(It is a few days after Perfection. The scene opens up inside a studio on an interview set. Bobby Hall is sitting in his usual interviewer’s chair. Opposite to him is Bruce Bolt sitting in chair to the right. Bolt is wearing casual dress clothes.)

[glow=Green,2,100%]"Bruce I appreciate the interview. I understand this is sort of a down time for you.”[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"Well, yes and no. I was really down about things for a while. I mean in a two weeks period, I lost my tag title which I held for over eight months and then I lost my World title which I held for almost six months. If that doesn’t get you down, I don’t know what will. But I’ve taken some time off and really gathered my thoughts. I’ve really had time to think all this through and I’ve come to a strange conclusion. I’m happy I’m title less."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Let me get this straight. You’re happy you lost your titles? "[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"No, not exactly. I’m not happy at all about losing. I’m happy to be title less. It’s a real burden off your shoulders. No more people screaming they want title shots and that they’re the best. Without a title, I can get back to wrestling without the stress of having a title."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Does this mean you’re done with titles? "[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"No not at all. I’m just saying it feels good to be free from all the responsibility of being a champion. I’m a champion and I’ll eventually need a title again to prove that."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Well, your chance to regain gold will come quickly as your tag partner Blaze and yourself will be taking on Shock Virus for the titles that some say you two unrightfully lost. But before we get to that, let’s talk about last Perfection if we can."[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"One hell of a match wasn’t it? I can safely say that if that wasn’t the best match I’ve ever been in it was definitely in the top five. Everlast, or should I say Ironman is one hell of a competitor and the match that I always dreamed of between us met my expectations. That was technical wrestling at its absolute best."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Did the outcome of the match prove Ironman is better than you?"[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"Well, it proved he was better than me that night. I’m not going to say he’s the best yet. We’ll meet again someday and I hope to take that title back. For now, I’m going to enjoy my time off as champion. I wish Ironman luck on his title reign."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Well, let’s talk about this week’s Perfection."[/glow]
[glow=Blue,2,100%]"I’m really looking forward to this match. To a lot of people, Blaze and I are still the champs. That Hell’s Kitchen match was not wrestling. Martz low blowing me at the end to win was not wrestling. This week, Martz and Shock will see Blaze and I do what we do best in a clean, plain old wrestling match. This match will prove why we were the champs so long. It will also prove why Blaze and I are virtually unbeatable. Shock Virus is a talented team but Blaze and I are undoubtedly the best. As you saw earlier on, I’m past last week’s Perfection and ready to get the tag titles back. Blaze and I have been training hard. We’ve had that last tag match and it’s ending on our minds for a while now. We’re ready to right the wrongs and take back what’s ours."[/glow]
[glow=Green,2,100%]"Good luck Bruce. Maybe next time we talk you won’t be so title less."[/glow]
(The two men laugh as the camera fades.)

[The Ironman]

As the first of the fade rolls into the screen, the Ironman walks into the studio, Bobby Hall jumps out of his seat and starts to shake the Ironmans hand as Bruce stays seated

[glow=green,2,300]Mr O'Neill, a pleasure to see you, the new World Champion, this is your first television apperance since that title match, how....[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Thank you but I was actually here just to speak to the man here, Bruce Bolt[/glow]

Bruce gets up from his seat and walks to the ironman, face to face

[glow=blue,2,300]what you here to say then?[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]I was just here to say that this last perfection was one of the most memorable moments of my life, and to add to that, in the match, the greatest 'technical wrestling' that have been up against was in that ring, it could of gone either way that night, as it happens, i walked away with the gold, but hell, you got my respect for that match, you are a man of great talent and one i hope can have a mutual friendship with. i respect you and if you ever need a helping hand in the future, give me a shout, i'll throw either my physical or political weight around to help you out. I got your back if you want it[/glow]

Bobby looks at each man as the room falls to silence, ironman nods to Bolt and extends his hand to shake...
