~~~Seth has a few issues with the events that have been going on as of late. The unexpected, welcome, yet rude return of Matt Budai; The fact that Mr. Late Nite doesn't show his face except for shows; and the apparant lack of participation from the other wrestlers in the locker room. He knows that a few have had to take a little time off due to it being summer and spend time with the rest of their families. At least, that's what he hopes is going on. He knows that although he's a single bastard, those that have home commitments need to spend time with their spouses and kids. But seeing as he is here, he has no commitments at home, and he is available to wrestle whenever he can, he decides to pay a visit to the good Dr. Hanes Brief.~~~
**Seth is seen walking down the hall, passing several dressing rooms. He passes a soda machine...a bathroom...a pair of...nevermind. Finally, he gets to a door marked "Interviewers ". Calvert calmly knocks on the door as he hears the sounds of computer keyboarding, replaying of voice recorders, and apparently someone is rewatching a match between retired legend Tommy Dreamer and Jonny Cash for whatever reason. Someone opens the door...this person is a visiting Beth Smith.**

{Beth Smith} "Oh hi there Mr. Calvert! Is there something I may be able to help you with?"

{Seth Calvert} "Sure Beth, wasn't expecting to see you here but hey, how're things goin?"

{Beth Smith} "Oh, they probably could be better. But I'm surviving. Let me guess. You wanted to talk to someone who may be able to give you a short little interview?"

{Seth Calvert} "Beth, you're psychic. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if the good doctor was in? "

{Beth Smith} "Of course he is. **Calling behind her** DR. BRIEF! DR. BRIEF! SETH CALVERT'S HERE TO SEE YOU!"

{Dr. Hanes Brief(from off camera views)} "Hmm? Oh yes, Seth Calvert. That's right. Tell him I'll be there in just a second!"

{Seth Calvert} "I heard him. Nice seeing you again Beth. Ah, here he comes now."

**The Doctor with the funny name starts making his way over to the door, but drops something. He quickly picks up the loose needle (don't ask) and begins again. He has a clipboard under his arm which has looseleaf and prescription pads. Seth and Brief shake hands...briefly (cheap laughter) and Seth gives him the low down on what he wants to talk about.**

{Seth Calvert} "There are a few things I'd like to talk about. One of them is the Wrestlefest match I have tomorrow as well as the Royal Rumble match. Of course I have plans to talk about the challenge that Matt Budai made to me, and most definitely, I have to talk about my worthy adversary, Mr. Late Nite."

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "Yes yes...of course. Hold on, let me think of some questions to ask you. By the way, how have your ribs been feeling?"

{Seth Calvert} "Well, they could be feeling better. It's odd. I'm usually feeling in tip top shape by now after injuries. There's still a little twinge when I stretch, and when I cough, it's like a sharp dagger. Now, it's nothing that seriously bothers me, not like I'm gonna have a major heart attack, but I'm sure they're a little weak. I'll still be set to go for tomorrow though."

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "I guess that's okay then. Hmm...where to start. I'll start with what I'm sure you believe is a trivial matter. Matt Budai. He has made an open challenge to you for a technical match. He says that he'd like to wrestle you in that match, and see you beat him by gaining the most technical wrestling points in 15 minutes. Do you have an answer for him yet?"

**Seth grins while he looks at Doctor Hanes. He rubs his the wrist band he wears on his left hand, which unbeknownst to all but Seth was given to him by the King of Old School himself, Steve Corino.**

{Seth Calvert} "Heh...Budai, do you want to know who called me the Prince of Old School? Damn straight. It was the King himself, Steve Corino. Perhaps Doc Hanes, you'd like to...nevermind, I can combine that all with something else I'm going to say at an entirely different time. But for now, Budai, I accept your little challenge...after I take care of the other business I have to attend to. This business would include winning the World Title at the Pay Per View from Mr. Late Nite, which I will do, and helping Big Willie-Isms take back control of his federation whilst helping Jackhammer dismantle the Elite Alliance. Although only two things, these two things are larger than your little challenge to me. But know that I'm here Matt...I'm here to accept the little challenge, and when we do get in the ring, know that you have underestimated me."

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "What about his claims that because you have a good following of people backing you up, that you think you're going to win the Royal Rumble?"

{Seth Calvert} "I laugh at that as well. This is the same guy that said I haven't "been the same" since the last time he saw me wrestle. Matt, if you actually did see me wrestle, you would know that I don't take anything for granted, that I know the rules of most wrestling matches, and that MAN FOR MAN MEANS MAN FOR MAN in my book. Sure, I've got the best of friends that back me up in normal circumstances. But you of all people should know that a Royal Rumble is every man for himself. And come to think of it, as I search my memory banks, I don't ever recall saying that "because I have friends, I'm going to win the Rumble". Maybe you're just saying things to sound impressive. It ain't working. Don't you think I know that trusting anyone in this match is suicide? You're not making a lot of sense Matt. Next subject."

**Dr. Hanes looks at his clipboard searching for the right question to ask to follow up. He sees one that interests him, and is sure that it will interest Calvert as well.**

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "Now, Seth, you mentioned the Special known as Wrestlefest. As well as being a participant in the Rumble, you're also competing in a match...a Three Way Dance I believe against one Scorpion King and a member of the new Pain, Matt Charkon."

{Seth Calvert} "GAH! Doc, just mentioning their names just makes me want to puke. No really, I don't use that as a cliche, they both make me sick as hell. Not because of their in ring talent...well I can't speak for Scorpion King...he's a rookie who thinks he's the World Champ. But Matt Charkon? Matt buddy, let's face it...your brother sucked and you take after him. As for you and your partner Trey Hamlyn, I personally would consider it embarassing knowing that someone else had to think up my gimmick. Someone else had to come up to me with the idea. Someone else had to put thoughts in my head. How stupid are you to have the person who came up with your gimmick on air, so that the whole world knows that you're an unoriginal bastard?"

"But on to the match in which I'll be taking on Mr. Charkon and this so-called King. Matt Charkon and Scorpion King both share something that I despise to the extreme. They are both individuals who use the "Dark Promo" as I like to call it. The one gimmick that is getting so damn old it's not even funny. Not even the Undertaker himself could resurrect that and make it sound good. **Imitating the Lord of Darkness** "I'll rip your flesh from your bones"; "I'll leave you on the ground writihing in pain as you splash around in a pool of your own blood."; "I shall have slain you before moving on to bring you the dead souls of my other victims as company." To put it in the words of one Chris Jericho: "PLEASE SHUT...THE HELL...UP!" When will it be that people realize that the time of adding words in to make anatomical dismemberment sound gruesomely horrible is the exact same as saying "Don't cross my path, I'll kick your ass so there!" Just...just...JUST SHUT UP! That was my rant on promo styles. Now for the Scorpion King, he has his facts and priorities screwed up royally. I ain't no rookie Scorp. I am a former World Champ, and I will be again this Sunday. You think that you are automatically going straight to the top just because you think that there's no competition here. Little man, when you step into that ring tomorrow, there's a rude, and by God I mean RUDE awakening awaiting you. You said I'll fear your name; au contrare, the only thing I'll be fearing is how poor your actual in ring skills are. Think about it...Mr. Late Nite could beat you, and that's a true dis. You'll find out that there's more competition here than you've ever had in your entire life. At Wrestlefest, you'll see that I don't give a flying shit who you are, and I don't care to find out, but you'll see what the Prince of Old School does best."

"And on to this little freak called Matt Charkon. I stated above, "YOUR BROTHER SUCKED...YOU TAKE AFTER HIM". On top of that, it doesn't seem like your mind is fully into this match. Granted, both of us have Pay Per View matches this Sunday as does Scorp...but my main idea is concentrate on the present. Why? Because if you don't make it past the present, you won't make it to the future. Being a thinking man's wrestler, I know how to exploit people's weaknesses. I know your mind isn't fully into this match, and that you have other things on your mind. That which affects you mentally in the ring will affect you physically. Since you didn't waste your breath on my that much, I'll return the favor. You don't have that good of a chance at winning...but I'll admit it's better than Scorpion King's chances. The fact is that the Prince of Old School will come out on top."

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "And now Mr. Late Nite. You called him your worthy adversary, so it's obvious that you still have respect for the man. You've both picked your managers, and I don't know, maybe you've picked what brand towel you've chosen...now it's just a war of words."

{Seth Calvert} "There is truth to your words Doc. I do have a great deal of respect for our once "hero and host". I know what he is capable of inside the ring. I know that Sunday, we'll have the fight of our lives that will go down in DRWF history as one of the greatest matches ever seen. But I guarantee I will attain my revenge and see to it that he doesn't walk for quite sometime. You've got your crossface chickenwing as an undoubtedly painful submission. But I know many a people who've tapped out to the simple maneuver that I plan to use...I know some that haven't recovered fully yet. It was a hard decision for me. Attack the arm? Nah...that cast that would've remained is capable of injuring others whilest keeping the person wearing it safer. The Neck? Sure...but it's too risk-ay in this business...there's too many ways that doing that can go seriously wrong in our line of work. Then it came to me...the leg. One of the most vulnerable parts of the body that affects an individual in the greatest. He wouldn't be able to walk...if he tried to use it, he'd be hurt just as equally...He'd be out of action. But is this match really about trying to make the person submit? No. It's about making the other person's manager feel sorry for his protege and give up for him. It may seem contradictory, but this Sunday, the world will see a little darker side to myself. A side which will tell the tale of Mr. Late Nite and how his body was bloodied so by Seth Calvert that his manager couldn't bear to keep looking at the torture. That's the shorthand version of what will happen at the Pay Per View. What will happen at the Pay Per View is that the Elite Alliance will slowly, but surely dissolve into nothingness. And they say that help is often needed in group situations. I've acquired some of the greatest help in the world...two of the legends of the DRWF whose names are going down in the record books as we speak. Sean Moro should be familiar with them...so should Jackhammer, Chris Concord, and other DRWF fans who have watched since the beginning. Hope the Elite Alliance is ready for a bombshell to be dropped on them this coming Sunday. Well, Doc, thanks for takin' time out of your day to listen to me. That's basically all I wanted to talk about. I know I know...I didn't dwell on the Royal Rumble itself that much. Hell, I don't care. When you're a former and future DRWF World Champion, you don't need to be given the title Wrestlefest King or whatever it is it's bein' called."

{Dr. Hanes Brief} "Well thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview you. It was a fine interview that everyone saving your opponents should be proud of. Oh, come back to see me after tomorrow's event...I'm going to check out your ribs one last time before the Pay Per View."

{Seth Calvert} "Will do Doc. Have a good day."

**With that the two part ways; Doc walks back to the interviewers room, whilst Seth heads towards the exit of the arena. Tomorrow it's Wrestlefest from the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas! Seth Calvert will take on Matt Charkon and the Scorpion King in a Three Way Dance, which will be followed by a Battle Royal featuring every superstar the DRWF Locker Room contains! And then it's Death Warrant 2001: The Revenge from the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Texas! This event is sold out, so the only way to see it live is to order it on InDemand Pay Per View!!!**
