The Universal Championship will be mine!

"Aftermath"

The scene opens at Heat Wave, near the end of the main event. The camera angle however is capturing Paul Roberts a bit better than the average Heat Wave production angle. This footage is the same exact thing we saw at Heat Wave, but filmed by “Planet Primetime Productions”. Bishop begins climbing the turnbuckle in a hurry in an attempt to catch Roberts napping. Bishop signals for the end, but Roberts digs down deep to get to his feet and a groggy “Primetime” goes limp and falls on the top rope and Bishop falls and crotches himself on the top turnbuckle. With sweat in his eyes a tired and plain old exhausted Roberts glances over at Bishop startling the top rope trying to recover. Roberts stumbles over into the corner and climbs up and uses every bit of strength he has to jump up and hit a Frankenstiener! Bishop hits the matt and Roberts quickly moves into a pinning position 1….2….NO! Bishop kicks out and Roberts looks up to the heavens, exhausted, looking for answers. Roberts gingerly gets, spaghetti legged, into a standing position, quickly without signal he hooks Bishop for the Virtebreaker knowing it will end it. But “The Beast” has it scouted and hits Roberts with a couple of tough elbows to the head. Roberts lets loose and nearly finds himself in the Forbidden Performance, but manages to slide down Bishop’s back and hit a roll up! Seeming like an eternity before the ref even hits a one count Roberts begins to slowly loose his leverage in the cradle, and Bishop kicks out before the three. Both Roberts and Bishop slowly get to there feet and Roberts looks like he could pass out at any moment, when suddenly he hooks Bishop again for the Virtebreaker and nails it! As Roberts hooks Bishops leg he can hear, seemingly in slow motion, three loud slams to the matt. The bell rings and just as predicted “King of Kings” by Motorhead hits the PA. Roberts slowly gets to his feet as he takes a hard stare into the crowd he stops and locks his gaze at the Universal Championship belt at ringside. He turns and looks at “The Beast” still flat on his back after the match and motions to his waist that he will have the belt.

Following the match the camera fades to black but quickly re-opens back stage. Roberts is walking down a hallway to his locker room tired but with the solid realization that he still has “it”. Chad leading Roberts down the hallway stops at a water cooler and grabs “Primetime” a glass of ice cold water. As he ands the beverage to Roberts the crowd can be heard getting louder signaling that Heat Wave is back from its commercial break. Roberts to his surprise turns to a plasma screen TV just down the hall showing what is happening. As the UWF theme music hits it can be seen that the UWF president comes out on stage holding a clip board. He makes his special announcement as Roberts takes another drink of water. A grin begins growing on the face of Roberts as the announcement is made that next week he will fight Streets Wilson to decide a new number one contender for the Universal Championship. Following that statement Roberts tosses his cup to the floor and he and Chad begin walking back to his locker room once again.

Chad: Paul! Did you hear that?

Primetime: Hear what?

Chad: Your kidding right? I know your kidding you have a chance to be the number one contender next week!

Primetime: What I heard was a president who knows what he is doing. Not some good for nothing loser like Trev who did everything in his power to keep the greatest wrestler alive away from the gold.

Chad: Well what ever way you want to look at it you have your shot next week so –

Primetime: My shot? Ha, no my shot will come at Redemption when I take the Universal Championship that should have been mine from the start. Streets Wilson is standing in my way and he wont like what comes at him next week.

Chad: Streets is a tough guy Paul from what I hear he has only been beaten four times in the UWF including tonight.

Primetime: Yeah? And I am undefeated, this was the first victory in a long line of wins for me, Wilson can go home for a while play gang member stab a few people get his jollies off, or whatever he does but he will never be as good as me. That is a fact, no one in the UWF is as good as me, I proved that tonight.

Monie and Roberts walk into the locker room to find an uninvited guest waiting for them, Jon Hermstead, the very same man who attempted to do Roberts first interview at Tidal Wave is back for more.

Primetime: Your kidding right? Primetime doesn’t do interviews pal so hit the bricks.

Hermstead: Come on Paul, you just won the main event the fans are going to want to know what is going through your head.

Chad: You know that little intro you gave Paul a couple weeks back at the Pay-Per-View?

Hermstead: Yeah.

Chad: That’s all Paul likes interviewers for, for intros.

Hermstead: Come on you guys I am just doing my job the president is going to have my ass if I don’t get this interview.

Chad: No, get out of –

Primetime: You know what Chad, let the guy stay, he is just doing his job right?

Hermstead: Seriously? Your going to do the interview?

Primetime: What the hell. I’m in a good mood, I mean I just whooped the hell out of the three best guys in this federation and I won just like I said I would. So go ahead Hermi ask away.

Hermstead: Well first of all, this mystery man, in the mask some have speculated that it is you, well-

Primetime: Let me stop you right there Herm, I want to make one thing clear, “Primetime” Paul Roberts fights his fights face to face. I want to my opponents to see me coming so they will know that it was me that just beat them. This joker who is going around in the dark, hiding his face is just some coward who cant beat someone one on one. So rest assured the “mystery man” is not me, nor would I associate with scum like him. And he better NEVER get involved in one of my matches or he will be looking at the end of a hospital bed by the end of the night.

Hermstead: Confusion cleared up, now what are your thoughts on your opponent for next week Streets Wilson attacking Bobby Bishop at the top of the show with a baseball bat?

Roberts nods for a second thinking of how he feels about this question.

Primetime: Let me explain something to you and everyone else here in the UWF who seems to like to come at people from behind. Knocking someone out from behind with a baseball bat doesn’t make you a champion, it makes you a joke of a challenger. Pinning someone’s shoulders to the matt like I did to Bishop is what makes you a champion. So let me ask you this question Jonnie, which image leaves you more confident about a challenger? Hitting a guy from behind with a bat and holding the belt and pretending it’s yours, or pinning the champ like I did tonight? Make no mistake when I get my hands on the belt I wont be pretending.

Hermstead: Well-

Primetime: Rhetorical question Hermtead.

Hermstead: Okay, well President Sanders just signed the main event for next weeks Heat Wave, and you will have your chance to prove you are the number one contender in your second main event match what do you-

Primetime: Finally, a president that puts his best stars in main event matches. I have been booked in two matches here in the UWF and neither time was I not in the main event. As far as Streets Wilson goes, he is going to need more than a baseball bat and some chicken shit running around with a mask on to beat me. Did you see the Virtebreaker?

Roberts snaps his fingers.

Primetime: Just like that, that’s all the more time it takes. I told Bishop not to blink because that’s all the time it takes. I guess he blinked first.

Hermstead: Well-

Primetime: The only thing I am disappointed in is my caliber of competition here. I mean I am facing Streets Wilson….STREETS WILSON for the number one spot here. They couldn’t have found someone worth my time to wrestle next week. Call the network and tell them that they may want to come up with something to take up the rest of the time next week because I am going to make real short work of Wilson.

Hermstead: And-

Primetime: There’s your interview bro now get lost.

Roberts opens the door for Jon Hermstead and motions for him to leave. Hermstead does as he is told but as he passes the camera you can see a scowl on his face as he leaves. Roberts shuts the door behind him and the camera fades to black.

As Roberts UWF destiny nears one can only assume that the title is right around the corner. Next week he will be the official number one contender for the Universal Championship and it will be on to Redemption were it will be redemption for Roberts. Where Roberts finally returns to the ranks of the champions again, a privilege he never rightfully lost. But first he must go through the thug Streets Wilson next Sunday, which will be without a doubt just as easily done as it is said.

The King is Here...
