**The scene of an empty backstage hallway appears on the titantron. It only stays empty for a few seconds however, as Steven Storm suddenly rounds a corner into the camera's view. He is wearing his usual black wrestling attire and warm up top and has a frustrated look on his face as he hurriedly walks down the hallway towards the camera. He goes to make another turn down another hallway but bumps into Jeff Lyoto.**
-
Steven Storm: Oh, sorry about that, Jeff. You need to watch where you're going though. You seen Damien anywhere around here?
-
Jeff Lyoto: Uh, no, sorry. I didn't think you were in action tonight. I don't remember seeing your name on the card. Who are you wrestling?
-
Steven Storm: You didn't see my name on the card because I'm not wrestling...
-
**Jeff's face becomes puzzled as he looks at Storm's attire.**
-
Jeff Lyoto: Umm...so, what's with the get up, then?
-
Steven Storm: Well, I thought I was wrestling Highlander G tonight, but apparently I'm supposed to know that the word "Storm" stands for Storm Girl, not Steven Storm. Is there even a women's division in NAU? Whatever, the point is, due to Damien's lack of specificity, I have wasted $2.10 on a bus ticket to get here. A fare I'll have to pay again to get home. So thank you, Damien Thompson, for wasting $4.20 of my hard-earned money. I'll be expecting a bonus of that same amount in my next pay check.
-
Jeff Lyoto: Hey, Steven, while you're here, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
-
Steven Storm: Sure, Jeff. Just make it quick. Who the heck am I kidding? It's not like I have anything to be late for. Ask me as many questions as you want.
-
Jeff Lyoto: Right. Well, the main question that is on my mind and is probably on the minds of many of our fans, pertains to Team Redemption's assault on Flubber last week after your match. Do you really think that putting him out of commission for an indefinite period of time was a suitable retaliation to what he did in your match?
-
Steven Storm: No, Jeff, it wasn't suitable. Lukio and I didn't get enough time with him to make it a suitable retaliation. Flubber had better be thanking God that Blake and those EMT's arrived on the scene before we were fnished with him. An appropriate reaction to Flubber's cheating would've been to take his hands, shove them in a blender, and switch on the puree button so he could never pick up a chair again. We had to teach not only Flubber, but the whole NAU roster a valuable lesson...nobody screws around with Team Redemption. And that includes Damien Thompson.
-
Jeff Lyoto: I don't really think that Mr. Thompson was trying to "screw" you, Steven. I think it was just more of a coincidence.
-
Steven Storm: Coincidence or not, my time and my money have been wasted due to our beloved GM's incompetence. Now, unless you have anymore questions for me, I guess I had better go change into some normal clothes and go home, cuz I sure as heck don't have anything to do here tonight, except maybe watch some inferior talent try to put on as good a showing as I can and play hide-and-go-seek with Damien Thompson. Ya know, I should've suspected something when Lukio wasn't on the card either...
-
Jeff Lyoto: Well, it was nice catching up with you, Steve.
-
**Storm turns around quickly and walks back the way he came. You can faintly hear him mumbling something about feeling embarrassed and how stupid he thinks Damien Thompson is.**
