[The scene opens in unfamiliar, empty looking locker room. All the glitz and glamour of a usual Mike Mahoney appearance is long since gone, as Mike Mahoney sits in a steel folding chair, towel draped over his head and a bottle of water in his hands. He takes a deep sigh, and then a sip of his water, as a robotic voice is hear.]
Siri 2.0: GOOD EVENING, MASTER MIKE! YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH USPW INTERVIEWER TROY BACON SO YOU CAN BRAG ABOUT DEFENDING THE USPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THEN KICKING IS HE ASHAMED’S ASS AND KEEPING YOUR USPW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP IS APPROACHING! SHALL I PREPARE A TEXT MESSAGE TO…
[Mike Mahoney has heard enough as he takes his fancy phone and throws it against the lockers in a fit of rage. Sure enough, Siri was wrong. There are no big screen TVs here, no cruise ships, no pools, no night clubs, no alcohol, no champagne, no Toni Frost, no USPW Television Championship, no USPW Tag Team Championship, no parties, no excitement. Mike takes another deep breath, then exhales, slowly. A knock is heard at the door.]
Troy Baker: Mike? Hello? Mike Mahoney. It’s Troy Baker. I have an interview scheduled for today. Is this a good time?
[Mike doesn’t react. He doesn’t move, he doesn’t budge. So Troy let’s himself in.]
Troy Baker: So how about the MIAMI HEAT BABY!! WORLD CHAMPS!!
[Mike just shakes his head, not reacting to the excitement of his home town team winning the big games.]
Mike Mahoney: I‘m sorry, Troy Baker, I just don’t think I’m feeling it today.
Troy Baker: D-did you just call me Troy Baker? I don’t think I ever heard you get my name right. This is truly a sad day. But hey, losses happen. I mean, you gotta dust yourself off and try again.
Mike Mahoney: Ohh I am dusting myself off and I am trying again. Trying MMA again, that is. I already signed a contract with Danny White and I am returning to the AMMA octagon next month, in July. I might not be here, but when the Fourth of July comes and everyone is showing off their American flags and American pride, I will secretly smile knowing that we are USPW, and we’re American 365 days a year.
Troy Baker: So next week, on Freedom, you’re really saying goodbye?
Mike Mahoney: Not just goodbye, but thanks! And the man I will thank the most, is Izzy Inzane, for pushing me to my limits and giving the fans what they want and what they love week in and week out. Someday, we’ll grab a few beers and watch the “Best of…” Blu-Ray together.
Troy Baker: So we’ll see you in the ring on Friday? Well, I just hope the USPW fans join me when we all chant “One more match! One more match!”
[Mike Mahoney smiles as Troy Baker pats him on the back, and then exits the locker room, and the scene fades to black.]
