The scene opens to the crazy backstage area of the Cross Insurance Arena. We see Wally Lee in the back, screwing on the cap to a cold bottle of water. He's sweating, and his skin reddened from his brutal encounter with Elijah Carson previously. He doesn't look ashamed of his performance at all, beaming brightly as he converses with a few stage hands also taking up space in the back.
He's approached by the WCS camera crew. It's a small outfit of camera workers, being only two. This series he'd agreed too was primarily made for web content for WCS's main website. The goal was to profile the journeys and quest of some of the younger, less-known, and up-and-coming talents in the WCS. Wally was grateful he could get such a feature like this so early on into his career. However, he'd been making some noticeable waves around the wrestling scene.
The crew's documenter Drew Swenson cleared his throat a bit as he was able to isolate his shot on Wally in the back. Following shortly was the choppy voice of Swenson, tying to speak over the amped volume of a SAP backstage.
[DREW SWENSON] "Hey Wally, what's that Dasani?"
[WALLY LEE] "It's warrior water rejuvenates bones... Taste like nothing. Very top notch shit."
Wally cosigned his own statement by making a cheeky thumbs up for the camera. His attention is taken momentarily as he looks back to chat up a few passerby SAP workers. He then returns his gaze back at Swenson's camera.
[DREW SWENSON] "So I think we should mark the occasion... It's November twenty-fourth... We're here at SAP's Titty Baby show... And my man Wally here just had a match."
[WALLY LEE] "Yeah that's right I got my ass kicked real... real... Good. I got my shots in, but hey -he shrugs- I can't do anything but give it up for my dancing partner tonight."
[DREW SWENSON] "Oh yeah, care to share with the world who that somebody was?"
[WALLY LEE] "Let's look at the history books for this one... Former Four-Cee-Dub Champion... All around wrestle goat... -Wally smirks a bit as his head nods slowly- The one and only Eli Carson."
It wasn't a secret of why Wally looked so battered. Eli was to-date the best opponent he'd ever went up against in his short time wrestling. Even faced with what looked like insurmountable odds, Wally still held high expectations for himself heading into the match up. Even through things didn't shake out how he wanted them too, he couldn't deny that he wrestled with his heart on his sleeve. People were responding well too it, and as he stood gingerly nursing his bottled water he felt as if he was still a winner.
[DREW SWENSON] "Yeah talk about a thought first night draw... From what everyone could see you went out there and you gave it your best shot... Anything you feel as if you could have done differently out there?"
[WALLY LEE] "Well in hindsight I wanna say win... But... You know I went out there and I didn't make it easy for Eli. I saw a few chinks in the armor that I wanted to exploit a bit better, but overall I think I wrestled a good enough match for what I needed."
[DREW SWENSON] "What do you mean by that?"
[WALLY LEE] -he shrugs his shoulders a bit as he uses his free hand to adjust the straps to his overall straps- "The biggest thing I learned tonight was that I can hang... It's not about being a rookie, it's not about getting a bigger spot light than what I'm accustomed too in Sussex. I learned that it doesn't matter what the level of competition is around here... If I wrestle within my gameplan, then I'm on equal footing like everyone else here."
[DREW SWENSON] "Well that's a good perspective to have... I guess with that frame of thought, do you think you could beat Eli in a rematch?"
[WALLY LEE] "Hey I just got here -he chuckles softly a bit- I'm in no position to be calling the shots on who I'm wrestling. I don't know about beating Eli yet... There's still a lot of room to grow for me as a wrestler. I just know that next time, I don't have to worry about being good enough. I think I proved my potential out there tonight."
Wally brings his drink up to his lips, having undid the top. He takes a good long draw of water as he paces around the back a bit. From inside we can hear the announcement of another match winner on the public venue sound system. Wally has a flash of readiness in his eyes. For as worn out as he looks, on the inside he felt as if he could go another round with anyone.
[DREW SWENSON] "So now that you've got your SAP debut under your belt, what's the next goal for you in the promotion?"
[WALLY LEE] "You know I've made myself some good friends since I've signed here... I'm not giving anything away just yet, but be on the lookout for Celeste, C.J., and Me... We're going to take this company by storm, my guy Ceej just beat that mountain named Vince Steel... Celeste is... In the Holiday Spirit so theres that... She's gonna beat the shit outta Bloody Mary.
-Wally slowly brings his arm down to his side as he thinks quietly to himself for a few moments before continuing to spill to Swenson-
Of course I'm still looking for that elusive first championship... I know Sussex didn't go as planned, but SAP is a new territory for me to crave out my name... I'm looking at titles like the X title, I know Andre just won the thing tonight, but he should be on the look out because winning that belt only puts a target on his back ya know...
[DREW SWENSON] "That shooting a little high don't you think?"
-Wally scrunches up his face in protest to what came as Swenson's response-
[WALLY LEE] "Look I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. Holmes has been doing this thing for well over a decade. And before I can even lock in on him, I have to think about everyone else trying to get their hands on that belt... But thats what I love... I love the completion here in SAP. I love that I can set these challenges for myself, and with every coming show I get to measure myself to see if I'm any closer to reaching what I've set out to accomplish."
[DREW SWENSON] "Alright, well I think we're gonna cut it right here and let you get back to recovering and enjoying the rest of the show... So where will we be heading off to next?"
[WALLY LEE] "Well you guys are gonna be following me to beautiful Barcelona for New Kingdom Pro... I'm not wrestling, but you never know where I might turn up. Also want to catch my girl Ymir and Lowri and Blaise do their thing out there... So you guys watching from internet-land... Make sure you check this channel on the twenty-eighth okay?"
[DREW SWENSON] "Yeah McKenna's actually going to be on it as well right?"
[WALLY LEE] -he flashes his boyish smile for the cameras- "Yeah I got her tagging along with me... Might get my hands on a microphone and try to pull off my best backstage reporter impression...
The scene stars to fade as a backdrop of light music blends with the natural sounds of the back area. Wally goes in audible for a second as he's still chatting up Drew as the camera pans off of him. It catches a prop crate with the property tag for SAP's "Titty Baby" event taped on it. We get the WCS credits next as we come to a close.
