~A quick gathering of reporters are seated in the OCW news room. Welsh enters wearing a v-neck sweater and jeans. His hair is disheveled – it’s apparent he wasn’t expecting a public appearance. He reaches the podium and bends the mic~
Marcus Welsh: Okay, we’ve all got things to do so I’m going to make this quick. Due to the unexpected extradition of PerZag to Australia for legal matters that I will not get into…the OCW Championship has been vacated.
~The news room is abuzz. A reporter raises his hand~
Reporter 1: So does that mean The Incredible One and MJ Bell will compete for the OCW Title this Monday?
Marcus Welsh: No. That match will remain as stipulated.
~Reporters nod and talk amongst themselves. Another hand goes up~
Reporter 2: So, what’s the plan? Are you going to give it to Scott Syren?
~Welsh nods in the direction of this reporter. He’s beaten and dragged away~
Marcus Welsh: We are holding a mini rumble this Monday. Every active member of the roster has been offered a spot and will compete. The winner of that match will take on the winner of TIO and MJ Bell on May 15th for the OCW Title.
~More chatter amongst the reporters. Welsh sighs and looks at his watch~
Reporter 3: I see Curt Canon is on the list…is that some kind of typo?
Marcus Welsh: No. Mr. Canon will, in fact, be involved in the Rumble.
Reporter 3: What about Checkers?
~Angrily, Welsh points at the door. Security drags this reporter out as well~
Marcus Welsh: The list of competitors is stapled on the bulletin board at the back of this room. I really have nothing further to add. So, if you’ll excuse me…
~Hands go up. Welsh spots one before he can get away~
Marcus Welsh: Yes.
Reporter 4: Why isn’t Max Shade…the #1 Contender on this list?
Marcus Welsh: Max Shade is currently dealing with some personal issues. Unfortunately, he could not compete on this week’s show. Trust me we are every bit as disappointed as you are.
Reporter 4: I also notice Mark Storm is absent…
Marcus Welsh: It’s Mark Storm…what do you want me to say? He was unable to make it to Key West this coming Monday.
~More hands fly up. Welsh shakes his head, realizing this could go on all night. He steps away from the mic and exits the news room. We fade out~
