Loud rock music is playing in the background, we fade into a small room with two chairs placed on a staging area. Lights suddenly hit the stage. A live studio audience appears to be on hand. Suddenly a man in a business suit walks out and gets a pretty good pop from the crowd. He takes a seat in the first chair and has a mic in hand. >Guy: Hello everyone, welcome to "Inside the Ring", as you know, I am your host, Phil Calowski. We have a very special show tonight. Perhaps one of fedwars and JEW's top stars is here with us tonight. You all know him as "The Extreme Icon", please give it up for the man, the myth, the legend....Josh Sutton!!!! "Snap your fingers, Snap your neck" plays. Josh Sutton walks out dressed in his street clothes, but he carries with him his barbwire singapore cane. As he steps up onto the stage, he stands in front of the fans and holds his cane up. He instantly gets a huge pop. He smiles and turns around, walking to the chair next to Phil C. Phil stands up and extends his hand to Sutton. Sutton shakes his hand and they sit down. The fans cheer start to die down. Phil C: Josh Sutton... It is great to have you back on the show. For those of you out here who have never watched the show before, this is Josh Sutton, a well known world class wrestler. If you don't know who this man is, stayed tuned...we'll be right back. The scene goes to a commercial for Arm & Hammer baking powder. After a couple of more commercials we come back to the studio, where Josh Sutton and Phil are having an off the air conversation. The intro theme plays again and they look to the camera. Phil C: If you missed the opening segments of the show, we are here with Josh Sutton. Now, Josh, i would like to touch on this and I have found not but a better place to do it then now. You have had a hell of a career these past what, ten years in the sport, and what I want to know, is if there was one thing you could go back and change, what would it be? Sutton: Yea, ten years. Well Phil, I wish I could be like these other superstars, who blatantly lie on camera and claim that there is nothing that they would want to change, because deep down inside there is always something to be altered or change in that respect. I'm getting off the subject alittle bit, but never the less, I wish I could go back and change the night I dove off the ring apron and cracked my knee cap on the safety rail. Phil C: Is that the night that you tore all the ligments in your leg? Sutton: Basically, yeah. I snapped a bunch of tendons and the doctors were telling me that there was about a 25% chance I might have to look into early retirement, now that's not something a 22 year old would want to hear. Needless to say, I overcame the odds, but the bad thing about it, and probably a stupid thing to say, but my knee still isn't and never willbe at 100%. Phil C: So what are you doing right now? Sutton: Workin...Workin for a company called Just Electrifying Wrestling 2. Phil C: Ah yeah, I heard about that. Ran by Sebastian right? Original owner of the JEW. They got some great talent, watched their first show. Sutton: Well of course they have some great talent. Would there be a great ideal icon such as myself in a place like JEW if there were no competition to amuse me? I mean hell, you got your Seph Deamontes, Tommy Kanes, Damian Keysers, Stevie Cs, and who better to add to that great list of talent then Josh Sutton? Phil C: I am a big fan of all of those men you just mentioned and have literally followed their careers. Now i noticed you didn't wrestle last tuesday night. When is your match scheduled? Sutton: This tuesday. I wrestle on Showdown in the continuation of the first round of the tournament for the world title. I wrestle some low payed jobber they call Bruce..Bruce something, production has to keep telling me his name. I know he used to be Angel, that's about it. Phil C: Bruce Blade? That it? Sutton: Yeah, I think that's it. I'm getting tired of this bullshit though. You know what I am saying, they give me these big money contracts then just throw these jobbers in my face one by one. When am I going to get a good solid opponent who can put up a fight against me? I mean I know I am the most violent man on the planet but come on. Most of these guys I fight, I don't even break a sweat on. Two minutes and I land the Sutton Driver, they are finished. I don't know how much longer I can take it. They need to put their glory child Fury or maybe Seph Deamonte against me. Phil C: Well Josh, we're almost out of time. I'm going to throw out some names and you give me your opinion on them, ok? Sutton: Sure. Shoot. Phil C: Tommy Kane. Sutton: Tommy Kane. Great wrestler, great person. Good friend of mine. Lots of respect to him, If I somehow drop the ball and don't make it to the finals, I am sure this man willbe right there behind me to pick it up and run it the rest of the way home, shoving it down his opponent's throat on the way there. Phil C: Seph Deamonte. Sutton: Overpushed...Over used....yet good and can back up alot of the stuff he says. I'd like to get in the ring with him any time any place, but every good thing is worth the wait. I'm sure by the end, me and good ol Seph will be selling out a crowd. Phil C: Damian Keyser. Sutton: I haven't had a chance to talk to him very much, but from what I have seen him do in the ring, I am almost certain that this kid will make it big in the sport in the next few years. He's got a long way to go before he can fill the Extreme Icon's shoes, but hey everyone has to start somewhere. Phil C: Possibly one of the most talked about men in the industry, Fury. Sutton: I can't say anything bad about this guy. He's busted his ass for quite some time. I respect this man as much as you can respect another living being. Do I want to face him? Hell yes, there is nothing more that I like then putting other people in their place. Do I think I can beat Fury? Maybe, I've never been put against him and haven't watched many of his matches, so only time will tell. Phil C: The man who has possibly helped push your career up to it's highest form, Steven Cash also known as Stevie .C. Sutton: You hit the nail right on the head. There was never an arena that we couldn't sell out. You seen Sutton vs. Stevie .C on a card and you can damn well bet the seats were filled and the fans in them were on edge at all times. There isn't another human being walking this earth that I would want to face more than Stevie .C, the in ring chemistry between us is unbelievable. We've both elevated ourselves so much in our past, it would hard to top some of the shit we have done. But we're both known for overcoming the odds, and I am sure at some point in this tournament it's going to come down to Sutton and Stevie looking eachother down eye to eye. Phil C: Ok one more question. Where do you see yourself in the next two years? Any thoughts of retirement? Sutton: I see myself doing exactly what I am doing right now. Kickin' ass, takin' names, and drinkin' beer. I see myself carrying around that beautiful JEW 2 World title on my shoulder, I see my lovely wife Ashley standing next to me, and i see alot of pain about to be dealt and withstood coming. Retirement? Retirement is for weaklings. You will have to kill me before i quit. Josh Sutton will always be apart of the business in some shape or form. And that's a fact. Phil C: Alright, thank you Josh for coming out... This Tuesday... Showdown...Sutton and Bruce Blade in the first round. I'm sure you fans know how it goes... Sutton: Bruce Blade, I suggest you learn to swim, because this tuesday, when the water starts hitting and the pain starts surfacing, there willbe no where to go but beneath the undertow. Bring the beer, I'll bring the blood and THAT MY FRIENDS IS THE F'N END! The lights start to dim as "Snap your Fingers, Snap your Neck" plays. The lights continue to gradually dim as we... ~FADE TO BLACK
