*Drake James returns to his locker room after an intense workout*
Drake(talking to himself): Woo, that was a good workout! I feel even better now
*Drake sits down and picks up a remote to his 40" TV*
Drake: Now let's see what's on TV right now.
*Drake searches through the channels and finds a show he likes*
Drake: Ooh, Wipeout! I love this show!
*As Drake sits, a heavy knock is banging on the door*
Mysterious Voice: Drake, are you in there?
Drake: Come in.
*The mysterious voice proves to be interviewer, Hans Lieberman*
Hans: Drake, I have a few questions for you, do you mind answering them?
Drake: Sure, I've got the time, go ahead Hans.
Hans: Alright Drake, first question. I don't know if you heard what Troy Belmonte had to say earlier, but basically he said that the only reason you were on top is because you can cut decent promos. How do you feel about this?
Drake: Well, Troy can think whatever he wants to think, but I know, and all of the fans know that it takes more than just being good on the mic to make it in a wrestling company. I don't know what everyone else sees, but when I see I'm at the top, I think it's because, not only am I good on the mic, but I see improvement everyday in my wrestling ability. I mean, if you look at me from Day 1, and look at me now, don't you see a great improvement? I've even picked up a win because of all of my hard work. I see someone who connects with the fans well. I mean, I have been here for simply 3 seasons, and I've already gained a big fanbase, hell, bigger than maybe people who are actually on the roster. The fans actually respond to me, I mean if they were to cheer or boo me, either way, I still get a big response from the fans. That's why I think I'm still here. Not just because I'm just "decent on the mic", but hey, if that's what Troy wants to believe is the reason I'm ahead of him, then he can go ahead and believe it.
Hans: I'm sure, Troy, will continue to believe what he believes. Next question. What you said last week before you faced Furious Steele and Troy with Commander by your side, do you honestly feel that way?
Drake: Do I honestly feel that way? Of course I do. But before I get into that, I would like to apologize for butchering the name of the show, Total eXcess, last week. I was just caught in the moment. Anyway, yes, I do believe what I said strongly. I didn't lie once in that. Do I believe that I can win? You're damn right I do. Do I think that it's hit all, miss all if I lose here? Again, I do. These aren't just words to get me over to the fans, that was completely real.
Hans: Good to hear it. Last question. How do you feel about your trainer, Semag D"Nim?
Drake: I've said this before, but I think I lucked out getting a trainer like Semag. He has taught me so much about becoming a star and I've applied them to every aspect. When I say I work hard, I've never said I did it alone, he's guided me along the way, even though he's been in a current situation himself and I just thank him for that. I think that if it weren't for him, I may not have even gotten it this far. Overall, he's just a good person.
Hans: Thank you, for the interview, Drake.
Drake: By, the way, I would like to let all the fans know, that next week I will be having an interview signing at the hall just to show my support to all the fans that have kept me competing here. You guys much deserve this.
Hans: That's good to hear, Drake, you're trying to interact with the fans. Well I have to go now, so take care.
Drake: See you around.
*As Hans leaves the room, footsteps approach the door*
Mysterious Voice: Is Drake in there?
Hans: Yeah.
Mysterious Voice: Thanks.
*Another person knocks on Drake's door*
Drake(muttering to himself): *sighs* Another person?
Drake(Normal): Come in.
(This is to tie in with Semag's promo)

(ooc: combined the posts to simplify searching for building the show)
Semag D'Nim walks into the locker room. He heads to the back area where all the Obsession Challenge competitor lockers are. Drake "TheShowOff" is sitting at his locker.
Semag: Hey Drake. Congratulations on getting to the final season of what looks to be the final Obsession Challenge. Sorry I wasn't around much last season.
He reaches up and scratches the back of his head, a slight look of frustration on his face.
Semag: That wasn't the plan when I signed up to be a mentor, but you know how things go.
He takes a seat on the nearby bench.
Semag: I know you had a tough match last Friday. Troy is a beast and all that backstage... action he gets has to help his testosterone levels. I saw a Sport Science where they proved that kind of thing.
He grins and lets out a chuckle.
Semag: But anyways, I know you can still win this thing.

*Drake chuckles along with Semag as he explains*
Drake: It's no big deal, I mean, you not being around for a whole season taught me independence in the wrestling community. I haven't needed you for everything and I started to branch out on my own. So rather than looking at your absence as a negative thing, it could also be thought of as a positive thing as well.
*Drake smiles at Semag*
Drake: And thanks man, I know I can win this thing as well as long as I believe in myself. But it is always nice to hear someone else saying you're doing a great job. Keep up what you're doing as well.
