The Mrs. M interview (Mooncat, Bond, Sho, El G)

[Mrs. M]

Mrs. M, in one of her best kimonos, is in her restaurant with a cameraman, 'Smooth Operator' Billy Bond, 'Mooncat' Celestia L'yark, and 'Fairplay Enforcer' Sho Murakame. She is organising them to sit in one of the booths...

Smooth:
"And I get a free meal for doing this interview, right?"

;D Mrs. M:
"You all do!"

Cameraman (off screen):
"Even me?"

Mrs. M:
"It the festive period, so I suppose so!"

Sho:
"I suppose that means I'm doing a shift in the kitchen right after this thing then, right mum?"

;D Mrs. M:
"How you ever guess?"

She finally ushers the three of them to the positions she wants, and nods to the cameraman to get the camera rolling.

;D Mrs. M:
"Move over Weston Bentley, sling your hook Albert Wuchie! There a new interviewer in town and she got three of the biggest stars in GZW... IN ONE INTERVIEW! Who this amazing interviewer, I hear you ask! None other than the bionic grandma... who give me that silly nickname? I not even a grandma yet, because Sho such a silly boy and not go out with nice girls like Siu Ann Wong. Why you no go out with Siu Ann Wong, Sho? I aught to slap your legs... oh yeah, interview. Person who get three big stars is me! Mrs. Murakame! First I go to Celestia L'yark!"

As Sho hides his bright red face and Smooth and Lez try to control the giggles, Mrs. M turns to look at Lez.

;D Mrs. M:
"So Celestia, you make debut at Acceptable Risks against new wrestler by name of Kombat. He seem nice boy, and good in ring, what you think your chances against him?"

Mooncat:
"Well both Eric and I go into this match with a lot to prove. He wants his first clean victory, and it is my official debut match after a number of 'guest appearances' in battle royals. I think that Eric, or 'Kombat', is one hell of a talent and will be a difficult opponent to beat. Who knows what the outcome of his match with Rebellion would have been if there hadn't been the 'problems' at the end, but what everyone saw was a young man put on a damned good show, and wrestle very well. People may think I'll have ring rust, but that's the least of my worries! Kombat is ready for just that, and it'll be a hard faught victory whomever wins it!"

;D Mrs. M:
"As one of the few matches without a special stipulation, how do you think your match will do as opener of Pay Per View?"

Mooncat:
"Well I think that to throw an immediate gimmick at the fans would be overkill to start a Pay Per View. Although I suppose a man wrestling a woman might already be seen as a gimmick. One thing that I will prove in my match is that the only gimmick I have is being Egyptian, NOT the fact that I happen to be female. Having seen what Kombat has to say, I know he's keen to put on the show the fans deserve as an opener, and I certainly am! I can promise you and all the fans that tomorrow night, the Mooncat and Kombat will perform in a hell of an opening match that will get the fans going... and may the best person win!"

[Mrs. M]

;D Mrs. M:
"Many thanks Celestia L'yark! Next I speak to the returning fan favourite, 'Smooth Operator' Billy Bond! So Bond, Billy Bond... I always wanted to say that... how you feel being put straight into the main event of a Pay Per View as your return match after two months on the sideline?

8) Smooth:
"Mrs. M, the name's Bond, Billy Bond, and I've got something to say in responce to your question. Well, I know it's a hell of a responsibilty being the main event, and you know however many of them you've been in, you still get the butterflies! I'm sure that all the greats like Rex, Magic, Pain, even Sincere and Monarch'll tell you that the butterflies never go away! And I tell you, with what's at stake, I think I've got a whole butterfly sactuary moving into my stomach!"

;D Mrs. M:
"You mention what is at stake, how important do you think it is for you to win this match?"

Smooth:
"Mrs. M, I can't emphasise how important this match is! Can you imagine how awful it would be in this company if John Profit were to have complete control? It doesn't bear thinking about! Tate Troublesome may be a bastard, but he's not the vicious, money motivated, hate filled, corrupt, cruel, vindictive, callous, self-serving, manipulative bastard that John Profit is. I've said it before, but Tate knows that despite the fact I don't like him, he'll be getting 101% commitment from his Smooth tag team partner on Monday."

;D Mrs. M:
"Almost within seconds of your return to GZW, your feud with Bad Company reignited, especially with Pimp Bizkit and Deacon Kane. You face both of them at Acceptable Risks. Do you have anything further to say about either of them?"

Smooth:
"I certainly do! It seems that Pimps verbal diarrhoea is a particularly inrritating ailment that he's never going to rid himself of! He blathers on accusing me of homophobia, and then calls Basildon a 'homo'. How very PC of you Mr Bizkit! You make wild accusations against my friend, whereas I make my accusations on truth! Do you, or do you not, want to see me in crotchless underpants? You can take back words you've already said, Pimp... even though I wish you would, and just shut the hell up, but hey. I'm not homophobic, hell, someone very close to me is gay, but I DO fear your advances! UGH! I accepted your previous leg waxing stip because it would have amused me to see you get your legs waxed. However the prospect of seeing you in crotchless underpants makes me quite nauseous... so I won't be accepting that stipulation, thanks! And as for my leg waxing, well I've got news for you: that was on the other contract that your boss terminated. I have a whole new contract now which means the slate is clean! Theoretically, under my new contract I havden't wrestled a match yet, so how can I possibly be contractually obligated to a stipulation? Get over it Pimp, that's ancient history... like your 'living legend' career will be after I finish with you at Acceptable Risks!"

;D Mrs. M:
And Deacon Kane?"

Smooth:
"Without wanting to sound like a certain 7ft idiot who stole my best friend... revenge is going to be so damned sweet! Deacon took away my livelihood remorcelessly, and openly stated his relish on worldwide television! That is a little difficult to forgive, and come Monday, he's going to understand why that was the biggest mistake of his life! Acceptable Risks, Pimp and Deacon'll get theirs, and it's gonna be Smooth... and Troublesome!"

;D Mrs. M:
Thank you Billy Bond! And finally onto..."

The door of the restaurant burst open, and the cameraman instinctively turns around to the noise. It's El Gambit! The Gibraltar native swaggers arrogantly into the room and up to Mrs. M.

[Mrs. M]

8) El G:
"Hey abuelita! I hear you're doing an interview show with debiluchos. How's about you interview GZW's toughest hombre, Gibraltar's greatest wrestler, El Gambit?"

Sho, Lez and Smooth all get up to throw out El G, but Mrs. M stops them!

;D Mrs. M:
"Sure! The more the merrier on Mrs. Murakame's chat show! I be more famous than Kilroy and Letterman soon! What an exclusive for Mrs. M! Interviewing GZW Television Champion!"

El G:
"You're one clever abuelita! Not only does your chat show's rating go through the roof, your nino and his debilucho friends don't get destroyed by El Gambit!"

Sho, Lez and Smooth all pull angered faces, but sit down as El G muscles into the booth.

;D Mrs. M:
So El Gambit, you go into Acceptable Risks with a title belt, and you'll be leaving with two or none. Does this add pressure to your title defence?"

El G:
"There no pressure abuelita! It's Jake Mackinnon that I'm facing! I might as well be facing a nina... that's baby to you idiotas out there! Jake Mackinnon somehow took the belt from MY division by luck, a fluke, a miracle, whatever. Now he has to face the rey of the division! Gibraltar's greatest wrestler! GZW's toughest hombre! 'El Gambit' Santiago De Touwce. There is no chance in hell that he can beat me, and with my title and the title that should be mine on the line, Deacon Kane couldn't beat El Gambit right now. Coupled with my insurance policy, El British Butcher Union Jack, Jake simply cannot beat me!"

;D Mrs. M:
"Being so high up the card, you no feel a little nervous?"

;D El G:
As sure as the Vatican City is a part of Italy, El Gambit has no fears!"

Sho:
"The Vatican City as actually an independant country of it's own. It borders with Italy, but isn't actually a part of it!"

El G:
"Shaddap debilucho!"

;D Mrs. M:
"Well thank you El Gambit! Finally, onto the best wrestler in the world, Sho Murakame! So Sho, you and your friends Gideon and Nathaniel Davies must take on What Money can buy in triple tag team action. What Money Can Buy have been tag team for long time now, and they know all the dirty tricks in the book. How you feel you can counter this"

Sho:
"Well mom... I mean Mrs. Murakame... They are taking on three hardcore veterans who have anticipated and countered every dirty trick in the book! There is nothing that Gideon, Nathaniel and myself haven't seen in this business? The HKWF makes you ready for anything, and you can be sure that the Fairplay Enforcer will be ready for What Money Can Buy, the scurge who bring a bad name to this business!"

;D Mrs. M:
"Your feud seem to go beyond the professional. Why this feud so personal to you, Sho?"

Sho:
"What Money Can Buy openly and deliberately cheat to win... with relish! My entire career has been dedicated to stopping such travesties from occuring. From Dark Matches to the Main Event, I will not tolerate people using allies and cheating to gain an advantage in a match. I am the advocate of the fair fight; the Fairplay Enforcer... and What Money Can Buy have repeatedly dishonoured me by doing exactly what I discourage again and again! My Peacekeeper friends have had enough! Gideon, Nathaniel and myself will beat WMCB on Monday, FAIRLY, and they will learn the error of their ways!"

;D Mrs. M:
"Thank you very much Sho Murakame! Well that all we got time for, but before we go any final words from my guests?"

Mooncat:
"Good luck Kombat, but you're gonna see the dark side of the moon!"

Smooth:
"Deacon, Pimp, be ready, because it's going to be Smooth!"

El G:
"Jake Mackinnon, kiss that title goodbye, because you're going down... debilucho!"

Sho:
"What Money Can Buy? Nothing at this Pay Per View! Play Fair, or be enforced!"

;D Mrs. M:
"Well thanks for watching viewers, and remember, watch my show or I slap your legs!"

Mrs. M grins, Lez leans forward and looks thoughtful, Smooth does the eyebrow and smirk, Sho flashes the winning smile, and El G scowls nastily as the scene fades.

[Head Booker]

Sitting in a far corner booth within Mrs.M's is Tate "Troublesome" Edmonson.Dressed "down" in only a grey warmup jogging suit and a GZW baseball hat,the dual President of GZW 2K1 watches with a smile as he watches his "employees".

A waiter comes over to the booth to take his order,but Tate politely shoos him away.He sips from the wine glass,savoring the sweet taste,as well as his thoughts.

"Everythin' I have done,I have done it for them.For the 'boys in the lockerroom',so that they could have a fair chance.The past six months have all been an "Acceptable Risk" for GZW.Now upon the eve of the pay per view,Smooth and I will battle Deacon Kane and Pimp Bizkit."

The door of the restaurant burst open, and the cameraman instinctively turns around to the noise. It's El Gambit! The Gibraltar native swaggers arrogantly into the room and up to Mrs. M.Tate tenses ready to go into action for the woman he has always viewed as his surrogate mother.Before he can react though Mrs.M defuses the tension and allows El Gambit to stay.

"Only Momma M would let a man such as El Gambit stay in her presence but ban me from here.I still love her though.Should I tell her what is goin' on with me?I have so missed her counsel.Maybe I could talk to Firefly?No,he would definitely not understand matters of life and death."

Tate winces from an unseen pain.He rubs his left arm as he pulls it closer to his body.He looks around to make sure no one is watching.He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a hundred dollar bill.Leaving it on the table,Tate quietly removes himself from the restuarant still rubbing his arm,never letting anyone know he was there.
