The scene opens in a backstage area of the Saddledome. In this area we can see exactly 26 backstage workers. The workers are currently not doing any work instead they are just talking to each other, talking about random things like the weather, sharks, darts, what they had for dinner last night and pop music etc. After a short while EHWC reporter Mark Simpson walks into the room, he sees the workers and decides to find out what they are up too, so he walks up to a random worker and starts to talk to him.

Mark Simpson: Shouldn't you guys be working, setting up the arena for Highway to Hell.

Worker: It's our lunch break so we have every right not to be working.

Mark Simpson: Fair enough, but what are all you guys waiting around here for.

Worker: Well we're waiting for Sabre and Magenta, they said to meet them here as they had something important for us.

Mark Simpson: Well I might as well wait for those two as well because I'd like to get a few comments from them about there tag team title match on Sunday.

Worker: Well you shouldn't have long to wait they'll be here any moment.

As soon as this is said Magenta and Sabre walk into the room, Sabre is carrying a huge box, the camera peers into the box and we can see lots of miniature footballs in there, (Proper round footballs not the oval kind) A count would reveal that there are 33 balls in the box. Most of them are coloured black and white but a few of them have slightly different markings, one is totally orange, one has a picture on a Hammer on it, one has a picture of a slice of a bread on it and a fourth has a picture of Gar y Coleman on it. The other 29 balls are indistinguishable. Sabre walks to the middle of the room and puts the box down, he tries to speak but Mark Simpson cuts him off before he can do so.

Mark Simpson: Hi Sabre, Hi Magenta can I ask you a few questions about you upcoming match at Highway to Hell.

Sabre: Maybe later but we're busy right now.

Mark Simpson: Oh pretty please let me ask you some questions.

Sabre: No you must wait.

Mark Simpson: Oh Damn and Blast.

Sabre: Language Mark, there are ladies present. Magenta is unused to hearing such filth, she's very sensitive you know.

Mark Simpson: I'm sorry Magenta, I didn't mean to offend you.

Magenta: No problem Mark, I'll forgive you this once, but for now be quiet will you we've got work to do.

Sabre and Magenta turn away from Mark and turn towards the workers. Sabre then begins to speak.

Sabre: Hi everyone, sorry to keep you waiting but I'm sure I'll make it worth your while, because I have a little proposition for you. Now I know how you all love to gamble and I all how you all love proper football so I've decided to combine the two and do a EHWC workers football world cup sweepstake.

Mark Simpson: What the hell's one of them Sabre.

Sabre: Simple Mark, as everyone knows the football world cup is starting tomorrow, and as everyone also knows the world cup is the world's second biggest sporting event after the EHWC. Now during this competition. Teams from all around the world will be competing to see who is the best football team in the world. That's pretty exciting I'm sure you'll agree.

Mark Simpson: Yes that sounds great.

Sabre: It doesn't just sound great, it is great, anyway in order to spice up the competition for all us EHWC workers I've organised this little bet. We will all put 10 dollars into the envelope which is discretely hidden at the bottom of this box, then we will all draw a ball from the box, the ball when opened will reveal the name of a team competing in the world cup. The person who draws the team which eventually wins the cup will win all the money in the envelope.

Worker: Sounds great sign me up.

There is a general murmur of approval from the other workers .

Sabre: Okay stick your money in the envelope then.

All the workers stick 10 dollars each in the envelope.

Sabre: Are you in Mark.

Mark Simpson: Oh I don't know. I'm not keen on gambling.

Sabre: Well if you're not in, then there will be no interview.

Mark Simpson: Okay I'm in then, I'll do anything for an interview with an athlete of your calibre.

Sabre: Well I'll keep that in mind for later Mark.

Mark gets 10 dollars out of his pocket and puts it in the envelope.

Sabre: Well Magenta and I are definitely going to enter too. We wouldn't want to miss out on an opportunity like this.

Sabre and Magenta each get 10 dollars out and put it in the envelope.

Sabre: Right that's 29 people in the sweep stake, but we have 33 balls we need 4 more people.

Magenta whispers something in Sabre's ear.

Sabre: That's a great idea Magenta, everyone knows how much Middle, Burke, Assassin and Hammer love football so I'll be nice to them and enter the sweepstake for them.

Sabre puts another 40 dollars in the envelope.

Sabre: Well that's all the people we need, so let's find out who gets which team. Okay ladies first so go on Magenta pick out a ball to see which team you'll get.

Magenta reaches into the box and pulls out on the balls she opens it up to reveal that she has selected England.

Sabre: Magenta, you lucky bitch, I wanted England.

Magenta: Well tough shit, I've got them and with that pick all the money is going to be mine, because just like on Sunday at the pay per view no one can stop the mighty English.

Sabre: It's just so unfair, oh well I'll get over it. Mark you can draw next.

Mark picks a ball out of the box he opens it to reveal the USA.

Mark Simpson: Well it looks like the moneys mine. No one ever beats the USA in sport.

Sabre: Well normally I might agree with you, The USA are a great sporting nation, but alas when it comes to football they suck and will never win the world cup. Shame for you Mark because now you'll never get the prize.

Mark Simpson: Bugger, ten dollars down the drain. I could have used that to buy ten pints of beer during happy hour at the lucky sailor pub.

Sabre: To each his own Mark, anyway I think Paul Middle should draw next, but since he's not here I'll draw for him.

Sabre reaches into the box and pulls out the orange ball, he opens it up to reveal that Paul Middle's team is Holland.

Magenta: Hey, how can Middle draw Holland, they didn't even qualify for the world cup because just like Middle they were just not good enough to make it all the way.

Sabre: Well that's the team he's drawn so he'll have to stick with it. But I'll tell you now Magenta even though Holland aren't in the world cup, they have more chance of winning the world cup than Middle has of winning the tag belts at Highway to Hell.

Magenta: Well that's true enough.

Sabre: I think I'll draw for Joe Burke next.

Sabre reaches into the box and pulls out the ball which has a picture of some bread on it. He opens it to show that Burke's team is Spain.

Sabre: Well that's a good draw for Burke. Spain have a great chance of winning the cup.

Magenta: I'm not sure about that. I think Spain are a little bit overrated. After all they've never won anything and they don't really know the meaning of the unity. I don't think they have a chance of winning the world cup this year or any other year for that matter.

Sabre: They are a bit like Burke then aren't they. After all he's a bit overrated. He's never won anything, he's not really a team player. And if he has to face people like you and me he will never win any gold as he just doesn't have the ability.

Magenta: Great analogy Sabre.

Sabre: Why thanks Magenta, I take great pride in my analogies so I'm glad you like them. Anyway lets get onto the next draw, I think that since Hammer and Assassin are such big friends we'll draw them out at the same time. Okay here we go.

Sabre reaches into the box and pulls out the balls with the pictures of the hammer and Gary Coleman on them. He opens them to reveal Senegal and Iran.

Sabre: How apt a couple of no hopers for a couple of no hopers. Just like Senegal and Iran will be destroyed in the world cup. Assassin and Hammer will be destroyed when they set foot in the ring at Highway to Hell. They will either have their asses handed to them by Burke and Middle or if they sneak past them they will be crushed and then sabrecrushed by me and Magenta. Either way there chance of winning the tag belts are less than zero. Right you workers can make your draws now .

The 26 workers make their draws some seem happy as they have drawn strong teams while some feel dejected as they have drawn weak teams. After all have drawn their balls there is one ball left in the box.

Sabre: Right there's just one left to pick I wonder what team could be left.

Sabre picks up the ball and opens it to reveal that his team is France.

Sabre: Lucky me, the best wrestler in the world drawing probably the best football team in the world. Was it providence me picking this team or just plain luck. Oh well when I win the money I'll the drinks will be on me.

Magenta: Hell no I'm going to win.

Sabre: No you're not I am.

Magenta: Whatever.

Sabre: Well we'll have to agree to disagree then.

Magenta: I don't agree with that.

Sabre: Okay we'll have to agree that just like Middle, Burke, Hammer and Assassin won't win the tag belts at Highway to Hell they won't win the sweepstake either.

Magenta: I'll agree with that.

Sabre: Let's face it Magenta. Middle, Burke, Hammer and Assassin are all losers. Losers when it comes to gambling, losers with the ladies and most importantly when it comes to wrestling they are big time losers. And at Highway to Hell whoever has to face us will have the biggest loss of there careers because they will be sabreized.

Mark Simpson: Hey Sabre can I have my interview now.

Sabre: Er maybe later.

Mark Simpson: But I bought one of your sweepstake tickets so I should get my interview as you promised.

Sabre: Well alas sometimes I have to break my promises, especially when I have a date lined up tonight with a major Hollywood actress and I haven't even begun to get ready for it yet.

Mark Simpson: But I really need the interview to boost my EHWC career.

Sabre: Maybe tomorrow, if my date hasn't tired me out too much.

Mark Simpson: Well I hope you can stick to your promise this time.

Sabre: I'll try my best., but I can't guarantee anything.

Mark Simpson: Oh by the way whose your date with.

Sabre: A gentleman never reveals things like that. But you can be rest assured that she is a major star and is very sexy to boot. Anyway I'd better get off I've got to get myself preened for my date.

Mark Simpson: You'd better watch out though a big date could distract you from you big match on Sunday.

Sabre: No way Mark, nothing could distract me from that. Winning wrestling titles is what make me tick and on Sunday nothing will get in my way of winning my first of many titles in EHWC, and nothing will get in my way of taking out any wrestler who just happens to get in my way.

Scene fades to black.
