[Ernie]

(USPW interviewer Betty Lee is once again standing by in the Sportatorium locker room with Pat Gordon, Junior, who is pacing back and forth in agitation.)

Betty Lee: “Betty Lee here once again getting all of the HOT thoughts running through the minds of USPW’s top wrestlers! Today I’m with Pat Gordon, Junior. Pat, you won your first round match in the USPW World Title Tournament, but you seem agitated. Aren’t you happy with the result?”

(Gordon stops his pacing and plants himself next to Betty Lee, who holds the microphone up to him.)

PGJR: “Agitated? Damn right I’m agitated, Betty. In fact, I’m pissed right on off! A lot of people out there would say a win is a win and move on, but a lot of those people didn’t get blasted in the head with a steel chair! Aric Mercury, I had one plan last Friday night, and that was to make you tap out to the Pat Lock, and when you took that chair and swung it at my head, well right then and there you gave me a score to settle. You may think this is all fun and games, Aric Mercury, but let me tell you something about the PG Era. The P doesn’t stand for pussy and the G definitely doesn’t stand for give up! So be prepared, Aric, because I’m gonna make sure you learn better than messing with a Gordon.”

Betty Lee: “Wow, I’d sure hate to be in Aric Mercury’s shoes right now! So, it seems as though a lot of people in USPW are gunning for you right now. Leroy Jackson had some words for you last week on Freedom.”

PGJR: “You know, Betty, I caught that. It’s no secret that I’ve made a name for myself all around the world. And I’ve done it the hard way, by touring around from city to city, from country to country, and giving two hundred percent in all of my matches. So I guess I understand some of these guys wanting to make a name at my expense. Well, Leroy, you said you were gonna make a statement, but then where were you? Hell, I would’ve expected YOU to hammer my skull with that chair more than anyone after you said that, but then you didn’t even wrestle your OWN match! Well if you ever get the guts, you’ll know I’m not hard to find.”

Betty Lee: “And last, but certainly not least, you’ll be facing ‘Marvelous’ Mark Cushman in your second round match in the USPW World Title Tournament! What are your thoughts going into this match?”

PGJR: “Well, first off, I want to apologize to Mark. I don’t want you to feel like I’m overlooking you or like I’m not giving you the attention you deserve. This match deserves my undivided attention, but if you had been clobbered over the head with a steel chair by Aric Mercury or called out by Leroy Jackson, well I’m sure you’d feel the same way I do about it.

“Now Mark, I have a lot of respect for you. You’re an amazing rookie talent with a really high energy wrestling style and you came out on top in your match at last week’s Freedom. I know a lot of people might not expect rookies to win, but hell I shocked the world in the 2012 UltraTitle tournament. One hundred twenty eight of the world’s best and toughest wrestlers, and I made it to the Sweet Sixteen. Nobody expected me to last that long because, even though I wasn’t technically a rookie, I was still pretty damn green. So no, Mark, maybe you weren’t the hands-on favorite on paper, but you sure as hell deserved that win.

“That’s what’s great about these tournaments, Mark, they’re an opportunity for you to come out and prove yourself. They’re a chance for you to rise above every obstacle and rocket straight to the top! That’s where I see you going, one day. And that’s why I’ve been working on a new submission hold all week, adding something new to my mix. This Friday at Freedom, I plan to debut the dreaded Finger Four Fingerlock! This move, also known as the Chinese Finger Trap, is so dangerous that it’s been banned in fourteen countries across three continents.

“I’ve been preparing this dangerous new move all week, just for you, just because I know I have to step up my game. And this Friday, I’m gonna show you what the PG Era is all about!”

(A pumped up Pat Gordon, Junior leaves the locker room.)

Betty Lee: “This Friday be sure to catch Pat Gordon, Junior versus Marvelous Mark Cushman and all the other action LIVE from the USPW Sportatorium on USPW Friday Night Freedom! This has been Betty Lee with yet another USPW exclusive!”

(Fade out.)
