Bursting through the curtains backstage sweaty and out of breath, Dane Preston is met immediately by his wife Allison and young son Luke. The happy family share an intimate moment and begin chatting excitedly when Jenna Bauer makes a beeline for the recently victorious newcomer to Action Wrestling.
JENNA BAUER
“Dane! Dane! I hate to interrupt the celebration with your family, but I was hoping to have a moment with you to get your thoughts on your hard fought match.”
DANE PRESTON
“Duty calls Babe...you should probably...take Luke back to the...locker room.” Dane pauses to catch his breath. “I'll meet you back there in a few, because it's about to get LIVE and REALLY LOUD back here in a minute!”
Dane and Allison share yet another intimate, albeit brief, moment before Allison leaves and Dane turns his attention to Jenna and the camera. With a couple deep breaths Dane nods and Jenna raises her mic. Dane cups the bottom of the microphone, and brings it closer to his face. With his eyes wide he begins to yell.
DANE PRESTON
“JOHNNY! CAN YOU HEAR ME JOHNBOY?!? WHO’S WORTHY NOW, YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH!?! TAKE A GOOD, LONG LOOK AT THIS MUG.” Dane points at his face for emphasis. “THIS IS THE FACE OF A GUY WHO DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO, AND THAT WAS TO PROVE YOUR GERIATRIC ASS WRONG! LIKE FATHER IN LAW, LIKE SON IN LAW! NOW YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY THE OLD MAN PUT ME IN CHARGE OF THE RIGGS FAMILY WRESTLING DYNASTY! ALL I HAVE LEFT TO SAY TO YOU IS...”
“CHECK MATE, MOTHERFUCKER!”
“Jenna, you'll have excuse my colorful language, I may be a bit more than a little excited right now. You have a wonderful name by the way, it's also my mother in law's name, but that's not relevant right now. I believe you wanted,” Dane pauses, “You wanted my thoughts on my match, is that right?”
JENNA BAUER
“Absolutely! Anyone can see that you are absolutely ecstatic after your victory. Tell us in your own words, how do you feel?”
DANE PRESTON
“I feel absolutely INCREDIBLE right now! You see Jenna, the last couple of weeks I bit my tongue, I minded my place. But truth be told, I wasn't content with my station. Week one, I’m thrown into a tag team match WITH Johnny Stylez. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that wasn’t going to end well. Week two, I’m relegated to essentially jerking the curtain at the biggest show of the year, on the PRE-SHOW no less. And some flamboyant magician or somesuch, Magic Maddox, steals the win before Johnny and I even had the opportunity to lock up with one another. It felt as if I was getting cheated. To finally have the chance to throw down with Stylez for real tonight and to BEAT HIS ASS, yeah, it feels really GOOD. In fact, I haven’t felt this good in a LONG time.” Dane squints his eyes a bit, using his hand to shade his eyes from the hot studio lighting. “Jenna, can you excuse me for just a moment?”
Dane sees Ryan Elias standing by in the shadows and waves him over. Elias apprehensively approaches Dane and Jenna. Dane raises his hands to show he means no harm.
DANE PRESTON
“Hey man, no hostility here. You’ve been caught in the middle of all this mess and it’s not your fault. I just wanted to ask, have you seen or heard from Dani California lately?”
Taking a minute to ponder his answer, Elias’ bit his bottom lip and shook his head.
DANE PRESTON
“I didn’t think so. Be careful around Stylez, man. He’s a snake and he’d sooner take you out if it meant it would get him one step closer to his goals.”
Elias nods and then backs away slowly, taking his leave. Dane turns his attention back to Jenna and continues.
DANE PRESTON
“Sorry about that Jenna, I just had to ask. But back to tonight and the future implications this win has in store for me. As the old saying goes, the show MUST go on. I’m moving onward and upward, bound for GLORY as I compete with 15 other aW stars for the United States Championship. While this means that I’ll be leaving Johnny Stylez in my rearview mirror for now, you can bet your ass this feud is FAR from over. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a family to celebrate with!”
JENNA BAUER
“Absolutely and I thank you for your time! Go enjoy your family.” Dane smiles as he places his palms together and bows graciously before he turns to leave. “Dane Preston, ladies and gentlemen, and he is fired up to say the least.”
