Hugh Jass is live backstage at Adrenalin, attempting to ambush folks for interviews as they enter the building. He slorps absentmindedly on a limited edition OCW SuperMegaBigAssGulp (the 95 oz edition!), washing down the remnants of a heart attack waiting to happen. Suddenly, the door swings open, and Adam Riley enters, gym bag in hand, thumbing through some shit on his phone.
Hugh: If it isn't the Main Event!
Adam stops in his tracks and sighs deeply. Sunglasses cannot hide the five stages of grief as they play across his face: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance of his fate.
Adam (obviously hungover): What do you want, fat shit?
Hugh: I'm just trying to get some thoughts and reactions regarding Luck of the Draw before we get underway tonight! You were teamed with...
Adam (noticing the cameras and springing into character): The Main Event was teamed with one of the greatest VWA wrestlers to grace a wrestling ring- Fighter Hayabusa! It was truly an honor to step into the ring with him.
Hugh: Some would say that your team lost because you didn't break up the pin when you could've. What do you...
Adam (interrupting again): I said it was an HONOR. Not that time hasn't caught up with him. He's a legend, and I expected him to kick out. But no harm, no foul. Sometimes a knife loses its edge, you get me?
Hugh: Are you talking about Hayabusa or yourself?
Adam: How do you feel about shitting out teeth, Hugh?
Hugh: But in the end, it was a huge win for the Establishment!
Adam: Yeah, really big win for the team, and I can't wait to see Johnny beat the shit out of Werwulf here tonight and take that gold.
Hugh: I'm sure, and then at Overdrive, the Rage and the Machine will be going for the Tag Team Championship!
Adam's head whirls toward Hugh, eyebrow arched under the dark shades. This is clearly news to him.
Adam: So Sean decided on the Tag titles then. That's... interesting. Really interesting.
Hugh: Yeah, considering how well they did in the tournament, they probably have a really good shot!
Adam: Yeah. Tell ya what, Hugh, I need to go prepare for tonight. I'll catch ya later.
Adam walks away abruptly, leaving behind a puzzled Hugh.
Hugh: Was it something I said?
Hugh: If it isn't the Main Event!
