Pre Elimination chamber with Steele

[Furious Steele]

(Scene opens back stage with Hans standing next to Furious Steele just minutes before the big elimination chamber match is about to begin. Steele is pacing back and forth like a cage animal and is already drenched with sweat. He is wearing his typical “I Hate You” t-shirt, stained blue jeans and black army boots. )

Hans: This is Hans with a special backstage interview just minutes before the main event for the world title match. Here with me is one of the up and comers of the federation, Furious Steele who gets his first world title shot today but is facing off against five of the top stars in the business today. Steele what is your plan going into tonight’s match?

Steele: Thinking you have a plan for a match like this is foolishness. Tonight will be complete and utter chaos, tonight the world will see the future of wrestling colliding with the past of wrestling. Angel of Light, Arrkan and Black Spirit have orchestrated this federation for many years always insuring that one of them has remained in power. They have fooled the masses into thinking they hate each other, but they all have an understanding. They all sit in their locker rooms right now knowing that their legacy is in jeopardy.

Hans: Are you saying that they are all conspiring together?

Steele: Isn't it obvious? They take turns being the “good guy” or “bad guy” while Angel of Light always plays the crazy one. The only person they have allowed to get title shots besides them has been Wicked Clown and Semag. Both are dangerous men but both are also manipulable tools. They may hold the title for a bit but they can always get suckered back into a bad situation where one of the three headed monsters can regain the power. Tonight is different though. Tonight there are two real threats to their scam. Furious Steele and Immoclata have been buried in the lower card of the federation for a reason. Spirit, Angel and Arrkan fear us. They know they cannot manipulate us, they know they cannot defeat us. All three of them sit in their locker rooms with fear coursing through their veins right now. Tonight you will see them work together in subtle ways to try to insure that one of them leaves with the world title. They would even be fine with Semag leaving with the title because they know it will only be a matter of time until he coughs it up.

Hans: So your saying this is almost like a handicap match? I don't know Steele, those three have a lot of bad blood between each other.

Steele: That is what they want you to see and that is what you see because you are a fool. Tonight is the only chance Furious Steele and Immocolata are going to get at that world title. If Furious Steele fails tonight he will be once again buried in the under card and be forced to torment the weak minded like Drake James. This is Furious Steele's chance to escape his current hellish existence and Furious Steele will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to leave with that world title.

Hans: Rumor is that you will hand the world title over to Tommy Bones if you are able to win tonight. Is that true?

Steele: Your out of questions.

(Steele goes to leave unless somebody interrupts )

[Semag D'Nim]

Semag D"Nim steps in and stops Steele from leaving. He looks him head to toe, then looks over at Hans. He grins and focuses back on Steele.

Semag: The world is curious as to that relationship you have with Bones, but right now, that doesn't matter to me. You're a beast and I'm actually looking forward to what you'll do in that cage. I know what to expect out of Angel, Spirit, Arkken, and Immacolata, but you... I've beat you, but I don't know you. I've studied you, but I haven't yet mastered you.

He tilts his head to the side as if still studying Steele.

Semag: And maybe they aren't afraid of me. They know I can beat them. I've beaten all of them. We already know you aren't immune to defeat. Last week I proved that. But I felt like you were holding back. I told you last week I want to see it. I want to see the beast released.

He turns to walk away then hesitates. He looks back.

Semag: After I claim the belt, I may just hand you another opportunity at it. You think I just get handed opportunities... but you've earned a straight shot at the belt. Spirit will want his rematch, but you'll be right there at the front of the line as well.

He again pauses, and again grins.

Semag: You did what you did to Drake because you wanted to release his potential. Maybe I have to do the same for you.
