“People say I make strange choices, but they're not strange for me. My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.” – Johnny Depp
THE MASK: SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
[It’s time for another WWG exclusive backstage interview and standing by backstage is resident WWG interviewer, Josh Bernard. Josh has on a blue and white, striped, button-down shirt, with the sleeves rolled to a folded crease just below the elbow. Josh is also fitted with a pair of black framed glasses for this interview. Standing next to him, is none other than WWG superstar, Maxwell Lord. Maxwell is dressed in a full brown suit, with a white dress shirt underneath with the top two buttons undone around the neck. Of course, he’s sporting his protective mask that has become his trademark. This will be Maxwell second interview in front of the world, so I guess he wants to look up to par, after such a disappointing loss at Carnage. Well it’s time to get Maxwell’s reaction to just what happened and what’s to come for Maxwell Lord.]
Josh Bernard: Hello ladies and gentlemen, Josh Bernard here, and I’m joined at this time by Maxwell Lord! Maxwell, I really want to jump right into what happen last week, and I want you to take me and people through exactly what was going in your mind, when things began to transpire.
[Maxwell Lord steps up to the microphone, while grasping the flaps of his suit coat across his chest area.]
Maxwell Lord: Last week, I did everything I said I was going to do. I stood right with you last week and looked into this camera and told the world that I would instill fear into Christianson and Misteria. I told you that I would make life inside that rind with me a living hell. I told you I would expose them for the frauds, for the liars and the cowards that they are. It’s such a shame that you people only see the small picture. You see me standing here and not getting ready for a title match tonight, and you think that I have lost. However, I assure this battle is far from over. I have only begun to scratch the surface. While my shoulders may have been pinned to the mat, I assure I was not defeated. I wonder what Christianson would say today about facing off against Maxwell Lord. What would he say after I nearly broke every bone in his face? I told Christianson I was not going to back down. I wanted to know if was who he proclaimed to be, and he wasn’t. He was a false prophet, preaching about the horrors. He doesn’t know the horrors. However, for a split second before his face hit the canvas, he saw the horrors. He knew in that second that no matter what he did, nothing could protect him. I want to let you know Christianson that nothing will ever protect you. You will never be safe. Until, I say it’s done, and only then will you Lord show mercy on you.
[Josh Bernard begins bring the microphone back to himself, however Maxwell catches Josh by the wrist and pulls his hand back to its original position.]
Maxwell Lord: If there is one man that I’m looking for to seeing again, it’s Misteria. Misteria, you did what I thought you would do, and you took the cowards way out. The man who claims to enjoy the pain he inflicts on another human, sure jumped at the chance to escape. That’s exactly how you got where you are Misteria, you escaped, like a gazelle getting away from lion. You did not show me the respect of going man to man. Christianson was eliminated by myself, leaving you and I to do battle. However you wanted nothing to do with a one on one confrontation with myself. No, you waited, lurking like the snake, hiding from the inedible beast. You took a bite and ran. I feel your venom. I feel it in my veins. However, it doesn’t make me die. It’s has only intensified my rage and anger to hunt you down and skin you alive. This is the only warning, the next time…
[Maxwell Lord releases Josh wrist. Josh moves his wrist in a circular motion, trying to get the blood following again in his hand. Maxwell lets the people’s mind wonder, after leaving on a cliffhanger.]
Josh Bernard: Tonight Maxwell, you have the opportunity to make show a massive crowd, just what Maxwell Lord is all about. Tonight you go one on one with Ryan Dee!
[Josh moves the microphone in position before Maxwell can grab his wrist again. Maxwell feels his mask and closes his eyes. When opens his eyes again, he turns attention back to the microphone and the question at hand.]
Maxwell Lord: I’m not here to prove anything to these people. I’m not here to please this people. I’m here to show these wrestlers. I’m here to prove to myself that I can be a successful human being, without anyone’s help. I see being the best wrestler in the world as a significant move for me. After everything I have gone through and suffered through, to finally be on top in life will be a change for once. I’ve got an ice pick in my hand and I’m chipping away at this iceberg, and the next ice chunk is named Ryan Dee. Ryan Dee is in the way of my pursuit of happiness and I have to remove him, to get to the next chunk. He’s not the competitor that I am, but that’s not the important. The important part is the fear. The important part is always the fear. Once I put the fear in a man it’s in there forever. He may be able to block out the pain and the fatigue, but once he fears for wellbeing, for his life, he’ll never want to step in the ring with me ever again. Ryan Dee looks like a crazy man but he’s not. Right now, I look like a million bucks, but I don’t have it. You see looks can be deceiving and that’s how Ryan Dee has been getting over. Over his entire career, whether it was here or on the independents, it’s his look that has gotten him this far. It won’t get you past me. You better bring the attitude and the fight to go along with that look if you want to last in the ring with me. I telling you that anything less than extraordinary will get you beat, average will get you hurt and disrespect will get you slaughtered. Don’t be the Lamb!
[Josh moves his arm back slowly, but no resistance is met from Maxwell, so Josh goes on with the interview.]
Josh Bernard: Well Maxwell, if you do what you say you are going to do, it would put you right back in the title picture for the WWG Championship, that has to be extra motivation.
[Josh moves the microphone back into the area of Maxwell Lord.]
Maxwell Lord: No extra motivation, no added pressure, only the reward for the work that I have done. I’ve been on a tear going through body after body after body, and count will continue tonight. The more people that I destroy remove contention, the closer I become. I’m looking forward to being in that spot as the WWG Champion. I don’t think there is anyone that can stop me from achieving my goals, my dreams. I’m here and I’m not here to sit and watch everyone else get ahead and get over on me like they’ve done my entire life. No, this time I’m taking everything. I’m taking my career to the top. I’m taking the WWG Championship. I’m taking my life back. This is it, nothing else matters. This is what I hang my hat on. I’m going to hang it at the top for the world to see. The name Maxwell Lord will be back on top where it belongs and the world beneath. BELIEVE!
