The scene opens along a random corridor in the backstage area of
the GM Palace, on the corridor we can see an immaculately attired Sabre and
Magenta talking to a backstage worker. Sabre also has his newly regained
Aggression Title belt over his shoulder, naturally the belt has been highly
polished over the last few days, as Sabre demands that he looks every inch
the champion he is. The camera then moves closer towards them so we can hear
what they’re saying.
Sabre:
Well you did a great job on Monday Jimmy (name of backstage worker) and
thanks to you and my immense level of wrestling ability I am now once again
the Aggression Champion. Anyway here’s your reward for a job well done.
As
tempting as it is for the reward to be a sabrecrusher, it is in fact a brown
envelope that contains a undisclosed amount of cash. Sabre hands this over,
shakes the workers hand and sends him on his way. Just as the worker leaves
Lisa Blunt comes into shot, she has just seen Sabre hand a worker an envelope
filled with cash and being the inquisitive type she’d like to know why he did
that, and why he didn’t use the money to buy her a present instead. Lisa then
walks over to Sabre to ask him those questions.
Lisa
Blunt: Hey Sabre what were you doing handing all that cash over to that
worker, that looks kind of suspicious to me.
Before Sabre
can answer Magenta interrupts.
Magenta:
Lisa that’s none of your business, Sabre’s business arrangements are entirely
private, so back off before I knock your bloody block off.
Sabre:
Easy there Magenta, there’s no need to kick Lisa’s ass yet, but you are right
normally my business arrangements are none of Lisa’s business but in this
case I’ll make an exception and tell her what I’m up too because it suits my
plans to let everyone know about the planning I put into making sure I won
the aggression title at Night of Redemption with the absolute minimum of
effort.
Lisa
Blunt: Oh I just love a scoop.
Sabre:
Lisa before I tell you, first let me tell you about my latest wrestling
philosophy. From now on I believe in economy of effort, which basically
means, that when I’m competing in the ring I do just enough to get the win
and nothing more. From now on you won’t see me showing off by doing pointless
high-risk moves or exerting myself needlessly just to please the fans. From
now on all I will do is come down to the ring, kick some ass, pick up the win
and then go back to my locker room without even acknowledging the fans.
Because I owe those insignificant peons absolutely nothing so why should I
put a show on for them?
Lisa
Blunt: So you’re not going to even use one high risk move from now on.
Sabre:
I didn’t say that Lisa, if I’m in a situation where I need to use a high risk
move to get the win, then I’ll use it, but I’m not doing high flying
dangerous moves just for the sheer hell of it as there is just no need,
especially when you’re as good at submission and technical wrestling as I am.
Lisa
Blunt: Right so you’ve got a new wrestling philosophy so how does that relate
to giving one of our workers an envelope full of cash.
Sabre:
It’s all because of economy of effort philosophy, last Monday I wanted to
make sure that I was would win the Aggression title and I wanted to do it
using the least effort possible, which is exactly what I did last Monday, I
won the belt without even breaking a sweat and it was thanks to economy of
effort.
Lisa
Blunt: Explain.
Sabre:
As everyone knows as part of my deal to fight J Boy at Night of Redemption I
was allowed to choose when I entered the gauntlet match, and with my economy
of effort philosophy I chose to enter the match last because I knew that none
of the other losers who had entered the match would be able to pin McKain and
so I could know exactly how long all of them lasted when they were in the
ring. All I then had to do was last longer than all my opponents before
letting McKain pin me and the belt was mine, something which a man of my
immense amount of talent would have absolutely no problem doing. That’s where
that backstage worker came in, I got him to time how long everyone else
lasted when they were up against McKain, and then when I had lasted the
longest he gave me a signal and I pretty much laid down and let Jakkob win,
and thus I won the Aggression Title with absolutely no effort at all.
Lisa
Blunt: That seems a strange plan to me, why didn’t you try to pin McKain
instead so you could win the title in the proper way and show all the fans
you deserve to hold that title belt that’s sitting on your shoulder right
now.
Sabre
now has a good look at his Aggression Title belt, looking very proud as he
does so.
Sabre:
Because there was absolutely no point in pinning McKain, I had nothing to
gain from putting the effort which would have been required to beat him. I
was able to win the belt just by surviving the longest, so that’s exactly
what I did, and because of that I’m the champ and I didn’t have to risk
picking up any injuries before my big match with Pain Killer this week.
Lisa
Blunt: But don’t you think the other wrestlers or fans will look down on your
title reign because you didn’t win the belt properly.
Sabre: Who cares what they think, the fans can go to hell as
far as I’m concerned and take their idiotic opinions with them, and as far as
the other wrestlers go, in they choose to criticise the way I won the belt,
it is purely because they’re jealous of the fact that they lacked the
intelligence and the imagination to come up with my fool proof plan, and that
Lisa is all I have to say on that matter. From now on everyone is going to
have to accept that I’m the Aggression champion, they’re going to have to
accept that I used my huge level of intelligence to win the belt with the
minimum of effort and finally they’ll have to accept that I’m going to hold
onto this belt for a very long time.
Lisa
Blunt: Well we’ll to wait and see if that happens, anyway while I’m here I
may as well ask you a few questions about your upcoming match with
Painkiller.
Once
again Magenta interrupts before Sabre can say anything.
Magenta:
No way Lisa, we’re far to busy to waste any more of our valuable time with
you, so get out of our way before I kick you out of the way.
Sabre:
Easy tiger, we have got a lot on our plate today, meeting film producers,
having a game of tennis and laughing at Ryan Trent pretending he’s better
than me, but I might just be able to squeeze in a few questions about PK so
go on Lisa ask away.
Lisa
Blunt: Okay, firstly you still haven’t told us why you got your match with PK
cancelled two weeks ago even though you were at Blast all along so I would
really like to know why you did that.
Sabre:
Simple Lisa, it’s all to do with economy of effort again. When I was
scheduled to meet PK two weeks ago it was a non-title match so therefore I
had nothing to gain from putting in the effort that would be required to beat
PK. Perhaps if I beat PK, I would have gained some bragging rights over him
and the fans might have been impressed but those two things really don’t
interest me at all, the only reason why I would choose to fight PK is if his
belts on the line and two weeks ago it wasn’t so I invented a stupid story to
get me out of the match and save me from expending energy unnecessarily.
Lisa
Blunt: So you’re scared of PK then?
Sabre:
Don’t talk out of your backside women, as if I’m scared of that little man,
he may be the champ but I can take him any time I want to, I just don’t see
why I should though if the belt isn’t on the line.
Lisa
Blunt: The belt not on the line this time though so are you going to try to
get out of the match again?
Sabre:
This time unfortunately I am contractually obliged to fight the match, so the
match will have to go ahead. Last time I was under no such obligation so I
was able to cancel. Having said that I’m sure my lawyers could get put a halt
to the match if I wanted them to, but under economy of effort I think I’ll
tell them to let the match proceed because I have a feeling I should be able
to win this match fairly comfortably. Obviously not as easily as I would beat
Ryan Trent but thanks to the stipulation Paul Middle put into place for the
match, I have to go into Blast as heavy favourite to pick up the win.
Lisa
Blunt: I don’t know, Dog Collar matches are pretty brutal affairs and brutal
matches are right up Pain Killer’s alley.
Sabre:
But traditionally Dog Collar matches favour the bigger men because the
smaller man is unable to use his speed to get away, and last time I looked at
OCW’s official web site on the wrestler profile pages I outweighed PK by
almost eighty pounds. So if he can’t use his speed to get away from me, it is
surely just going to be a case of me grabbing hold of him and slowly
pulverising him with all those submission holds I showcased against J Boy
when I whipped his ass at Night of Redemption. And after I’ve pulverised him
for several minutes he should be just about ready to be finished off with
either the Sabre Death Lock or the Sabrecrusher, and thus I’ll have beat the
champ using my patented economy of effort formula.
Lisa
Blunt: Oh come on it’s never that easy to beat Painkiller. He’s the champ for
a reason.
Sabre:
In this style of match and with my weight advantage it will be, perhaps if
Paul when he was trying to punish me actually picked a match type that
benefited PK then I might have had to put in a lot of effort to pick up my
inevitable victory, but in a Dog Collar match the win is going to be mine
with no problems what so ever. Now that’s all I’m going to say about my match
for the time being I’ve people to see and places to visit, so I must be on my
way.
Lisa
Blunt: Can’t I ask you a few more questions perhaps about those three movies
you might be starring in.
Magenta:
Listen Lisa, Sabre said he must be on his way, so kindly step aside before I
lose my patience with you.
Sabre:
I suggest you do what Magenta says, she doesn’t seem to be in a very good
mood today, so it would be in your best interest to back off.
Wisely
Lisa does indeed back off allowing Sabre and Magenta to walk up the corridor
they’re standing in, they then turn a corner and go off camera when they do
this the scene fades to black.
