(The scene opens up to the radio station of 1490 WCIN in Cincinnati. Right before Super Clash, when true greatness himself, Michael Morrison, was set to defend his PCW Platinum Championship against Israel Steele, Tony from the popular radio day-time talk show “Tony Talks” invited Morrison down for a live interview. Morrison originally balked at the idea but Tony, and 1490 WCIN, offered him a nice appearance fee so he was happy to accept. With Slamathon II vastly approaching, and Morrison once again putting his belt on the line, Tony decided to try and get him back on the show. Several interesting events had taken place for Morrison since his first appearance, including title defenses, funerals and victories over a variety of opponents. The first interview gathered large ratings for “Tony Talks” and the station wanted to duplicate that feat.
Morrison eventually agreed to show up again, after a decent amount of cash was waved in front of his face, but he was in a foul mood. Not only was he trying to bounce back physically after a vicious attack at the hands of Steve Storme, his Slamathon II opponent, but he allowed Storme to divert his focus and that resulted in a loss to Nightrain at Saturday Night Rapture. Morrison couldn’t believe he let Nightrain beat him and although he had picked up victories over ‘Train the previous two shows, this loss was going to gnaw at him for a long time. The man known as true greatness doesn’t like to lose and he was even more upset due to the fact that he felt he let himself get beat.
Nevertheless, Morrison showed up for his scheduled interview time and entered the studio; sitting across from Tony. A commercial break was getting ready to end and after a quick hello, the two gentlemen put on their headphones and the bumper music began to play.)
Tony: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to “Tony Talks” right here on 1490 WCIN! What a segment we have for you today! Almost two months ago, we had this gentlemen on the program and he was a favorite among the listeners. In fact, the ratings were so good that we decided to bring him back despite his, um, unique perspective on things. Of course, I’m talking about Premium Championship Wrestling’s very own, and reigning PCW Platinum Champion, Michael Morrison! Michael, as always, we appreciate you making the time for us today.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: No problem Tony because I appreciate the checks that you write to me.
Tony: Fair enough. Well Michael, a lot has transpired since your last appearance here on “Tony Talks.” You continue to have a strangle hold on the PCW Platinum Championship…you’ve claimed to retired not only James Baker, but Israel Steele too. You held a funeral for the group known as Generation Xtreme and followed that up with a pay-per-view victory over member Damon Warrens. You’ve recently teamed up with the Elite, Yoshiru Long and Sickboy, and have parlayed that into a few victories and on TOP OF THAT, this Saturday at Slamathon II, you will put your PCW Platinum Championship on the line against a guy who attacked you…broadcaster Steve Storme. Wow, I’m out of breath! Let’s start with your match against Storme. What is your mindset heading into Slamathon II?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Tony, Steve Storme is a guy who continues to piss me off and he’s going to pay for that at Slamathon. You see, this all started three weeks ago when he viciously attacked me and tried to break my arm. Hell, another shot or two and he would have probably done it. I guess you could say that I dodged a bullet by not sustaining too much damage during that dirty attack. But Tony, not only did he attack me but he decided to abuse his power on the board by putting himself in a match against me for the Platinum Championship. He ran his little mouth about how he was going to take my belt, blah, blah, blah and he stood there with a stupid grin on his face like he had all the answers in the world. Well you know what…Steve Storme is a hot-headed broadcaster. Nothing more…nothing less. I think he let the adrenaline rush cloud his judgment and he made our match announcement before he had time to really think it through. You see Tony, I think Steve is quickly going to realize that he is not going to be able to cakewalk through our match and take my belt away from me. I’m not somebody the caliber of Draven Logan Kennedy, oh no. I am true greatness. I am the best that Premium Championship Wrestling has to offer and I’m not about to let a broadcaster piss in my cheerios.
Tony: He certainly has no shortage of confidence, much like yourself. Why do you think Storme has decided to leave the broadcast booth and jump back into the ring? And not only that; facing you for the PCW Platinum Championship?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Tony, if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times…there’s not a person on the planet who doesn’t want a shot at MY Platinum belt. You see, since I got my shovel out and figured out where Israel Steele buried it, I’ve taken this belt to a level never seen before. Before, it was a just a shiny piece of gold that would look fancy on a guy walking down the ramp. It would just be something for the ring announcer to mention during introductions and it would make the person wearing it feel good about himself. But that all changed when true greatness came along. You see, when I put this belt around my waist or drape it over my shoulder, it’s a symbol of what I’m all about. It’s a symbol that I am, indeed, the measuring stick here in Premium Championship Wrestling. Boys and girls see me holding this belt and they instantly know that it’s one of the most coveted prizes in professional wrestling.
When Steve Storme was standing there at ringside three weeks ago, and the Elite got a little too close for comfort, I think he had a twinkle in his eye. He saw me and realized what I mean to Premium Championship Wrestling. He saw me and realized what the PCW Platinum Championship means to this company. He saw me as an opportunity to make a name for himself. Just think about it for a second. What better way to jump from the booth back to the ring, and become an instant star, then by defeating the man known as true greatness and taking away his championship. It certainly makes sense on paper and I don’t blame a single person for wanting to step into the ring with me. I’m the guy that everybody talks about and I’m the guy that everybody wants to beat. But matches aren’t won or lost on paper.
You see Tony, Storme is going to realize and realize very soon that I didn’t win this belt in a box of crackerjack. I didn’t win this belt by going to an amusement park and throwing a ring around a milk jug. I didn’t win this belt by going on eBay and outbidding everyone else. Oh no, I won this belt because I was supremely more talented than Israel Steele and I’ve kept this belt because I’m supremely more talented than anyone that has been put in front of me. The concept is good and the idea makes sense but Storme attacking me was failed execution. He didn’t take me out and quite honestly, that’s the only way I believe he could ever come close to beating me. So while Storme might be sitting on cloud 9...thinking he’s just three seconds away from becoming the brand new PCW Platinum Champion, well, it’s just simply not going to happen. I’m not done taking this championship to the heights it deserves and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let a broadcaster steal my thunder.
Tony: Michael, you’ve mentioned the sneak attack by Storme and the fact that he injured your arm. Is it going to be 100% heading into Slamathon II?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Probably not. It doesn’t feel bad and I’m not going to use it as a crutch but it’s not completely healed. It’s going to take some time but my talent is too vast to let an injured arm stop me.
Tony: Michael, a lot of people around the professional wrestling circles were stunned to see you defeated by Nightrain last Saturday night at Rapture. What can you attribute to that?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well I can assure you 100%, Tony, that nobody was as stunned as yours truly and quite honestly, I’m still trying to figure out what happened. I think I was just distracted with my dealings involving Storme and I lost my focus. I mean, if you remember, at the beginning of the show, we had a little confrontation and I think that threw me off my game a little bit. That’s no excuse, and I have to win that match but it is what it is. I’m sure Nightrain feels like hot (beep) right now but let’s face facts; I kicked his (beep) the two previous Raptures so let’s call a spade a spade and say that this win for ‘Train was a fluke.
Tony: So you don’t think much of Nightrain’s ability in the ring?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Look Tony, there are certainly worse professional wrestlers out there than Nightrain. Hell, there are several employed by Premium Championship Wrestling. But the thing about Nightrain is this…he loves to tell anyone who will listen that he competed for the PCW World Heavyweight Championship at two consecutive pay-per-views. He seems to wear that around like it’s a badge of honor. And you know what; it’s not a bad feather to have in your cap. But there’s a huge difference between “competing” and “winning.” Just because you compete for something doesn’t mean you’re entitled to the benefits of what you’re trying to take possession of. Nightrain seems to think that he’s main-event caliber simply because he wrestled Yoshiru Long but I don’t think there’s a person on the planet who doesn’t believe that ‘Train was simply in the right place at the right time. Whether it was guys being injured or flat-out leaving the company, somebody had to fill the spot and his number just happened to be called. Don’t forget, SJ Funk was supposed to get the title match at Super Clash before he wussed out.
So my point is this; Nightrain might see himself as a guy who wrestled Yoshiru Long at two consecutive pay-per-views and that might make him feel entitled. But if you want my opinion, Tony, I just see a guy who lucked into a huge opportunity and completely kicked it. I think you’ll start to see him slide down the pecking order where he belongs.
Tony: You offered him a PCW Platinum Championship match over three weeks ago but was ignored. Why?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Why did I offer him the match or why was I ignored?
Tony: Both.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: I was ignored, Tony, because he seems to think that he is entitled to more PCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunities. That’s obviously not the case.
I offered him the match because I was tired of hearing him run his mouth about the same things over and over and over and I wanted to shut him up. I had to laugh about him throwing me under the bus before our match at Rapture because it was non-title. Are you kidding me? What planet does this guy reside on? I, the champion, offered him, the overrated challenger, a chance at one of the richest prizes in professional wrestling and he ignores me. Then, he has the gall to mock me and accuse me of being a coward because when we finally do meet, my belt isn’t on the line. You see, Tony, why I’m so irritated about losing to him? You see why it bugs me that I allowed Storme to shift my focus away on my opponent? I should never…NEVER…lose to Nightrain.
Tony: I know where you’re coming from Michael but hey, it happens. We need to take a quick commercial break but before we do, it’s a little something I love to do with guests on the program and that’s word association. You up for it?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Hit me.
Tony: James Baker.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Retired.
Tony: Israel Steele.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Probably pumping gas somewhere.
Tony: Steve Storme.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Should stick to his day job; broadcasting.
Tony: Nightrain.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Curtain-jerker.
Tony: The main event at Slamathon II; Yoshiru Long versus Sickboy for the PCW World Heavyweight Championship.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Should be a fantastic match between two of the best in Premium Championship Wrestling. Finally, a worthy pay-per-view main event.
Tony: Danielle Lopez.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Considered a superstar only because of continuing to face inferior competition. She reminds me a lot of Steele.
Tony: Draven Logan Kennedy.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: (Laughs) Thanks Tony, I needed a good chuckle.
Tony: Alright ladies and gentlemen, we have to go to break but when we come up, we’ll take your phone calls for the PCW Platinum Champion! You’re listening to “Tony Talks” on 1490 WCIN!
(The commercial break plays for a couple minutes before coming back to the live show.)
Tony: Welcome back everybody to more “Tony Talks” and I’m here with Premium Championship Wrestling’s very own, Michael Morrison. Morrison will be defending his PCW Platinum Championship against Steve Storme at Slamathon II in what should be a very good, very competitive match!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Very good? Very competitive? Not if I can help it.
Tony: Come on Michael, it’s called promoting!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: I gotcha. Carry on.
Tony: Let’s open up the phone lines to our listeners! I believe we have Larry on the phone. Larry, welcome to “Tony Talks!” What’s your question for Michael?
Caller #1 -- Larry: Thanks for taking my call Tony! I just wanted to ask Michael why he’s so sure of himself that Steve Storme is going to be a walk in the park at Slamathon? I mean, this guy has had a wonderful career in professional wrestling and I personally think that you’re going to be in trouble.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Larry, you sound like you have about two teeth. What do you do for a living?
Caller #1 -- Larry: I’m a janitor for a small bank.
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well that would explain your stupid question. Larry, let me be very clear on something; I don’t give a crap what Storme has done in the past. I don’t care if he dated Lady Gaga and I don’t care if he has had tea and crumpets with the Queen of England. The bottom line is this; Steve Storme is a broadcaster. He sits at ringside and runs his mouth. I, on the other hand, am true greatness. I have won and won some more here in Premium Championship Wrestling and I’m the greatest Platinum Champion in the history of this company. Steve Storme leaped before he looked when he attacked me and made this match. Did you not see the contract signing? Did you not see when I planted his ass through a table. Give me a break.
Tony: Let’s go to Bridget on a cell. Bridget, what’s your question for the reigning Platinum Champion?
Caller #2 -- Bridget: Michael, I have a huge crush on the Vendor. He’s so handsome and smart as a whip. Is he single? Do you think you could set the two of us up? Pretty please!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Tony, who listens to your show? Do they turn off Jerry Springer and jump right to this?
Tony: I have a diverse listenership Michael, what can I say?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: I say that it’s frightening. Bridget, the Vendor is without a doubt the dumbest man on planet earth. He’s fat, ugly, and dead flies have larger IQ’s. Please, these dumb questions are making my head hurt. Come on Cincinnati, there has to be ONE intelligent person out there.
Tony: Well let’s see if Frank can meet the criteria! Frank, what’s your question for Michael?
Caller #3 -- Frank: Yeah, I just want to say that Michael Morrison is the greatest professional wrestler in the history of the world and nobody can beat him. NOBODY!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Thank you Frank. Finally a voice of reason.
Caller #3 -- Frank: When can I expect that check from you Michael?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Shut up moron.
Tony: Well, I think we’ll wrap things up here on “Tony Talks.” Michael, any final thoughts?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well Tony, I said this during my first appearance on your show and I’ll say it once again now. I’m going to walk in Slamathon II as the PCW Platinum Champion and I’m going to walk out as the PCW Platinum Champion. It’s as simple as that. Steve Storme is going to learn that you just can’t attack people and not face the consequences. You might be able to get away with that with some but you better believe that you can’t with true greatness. When he tried to break my arm, that just turned everything up a notch and he will now have to do the time for his crime. I’m very much looking forward to hearing him broadcast the next Rapture because he’ll realize, as he sits there, that messing with Michael Morrison was a serious lapse in judgment. It’s as simple as that.
Tony: Good luck Michael and we look forward to your next appearance right here on “Tony Talks!” We’ll be right back, after this commercial break, on 1490 WCIN.
(The commercial break begins to play as Michael exit’s the studio and heads towards his car in the parking lot. Before opening his front door, he stares towards the ground for a few moments.)
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well Steve, the time is finally here. You made your bed and now you’re going to have to lay in it. Remember this when you’re on the mat, seeing my hand raised in victory…you brought this all on yourself. You attacked me, you tried to break my arm and you are trying to take my PCW Platinum Championship away from me. Well guess what, what I did to you at Rapture two weeks ago…planting you through that table during our contract signing…is just a small taste of what I’m going to do to you at Slamathon. I am true greatness Storme and I am the greatest PCW Platinum Champion in the history of Premium Championship Wrestling. Just like Steele…just like Baker…just like Warrens…just like Nightrain…just like DLK…just like everyone else…you will soon realize that messing with me is not smart at all. You’re a broadcaster pal and that’s something you should stick to. Don’t quit your day job and I’ll see to it that you don’t. The PCW Platinum Championship on the line means that you better have your big boy pants on because I’m not going to be messing around. The time for talk is over and it’s time to meet face to face. You didn’t take me out and that will be your ultimate downfall. I’m looking forward to kicking your ass, Storme, I really am. “Thunder Struck”….”Greatness Personified”…maybe both…you’ll never see it coming. But you’ll sure as hell feel it. And you know what the funny thing is? There’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me. Try talking yourself out of this one microphone boy.
(Michael laughs as he enters his car and drives off. The scene fades to black.)
Morrison eventually agreed to show up again, after a decent amount of cash was waved in front of his face, but he was in a foul mood. Not only was he trying to bounce back physically after a vicious attack at the hands of Steve Storme, his Slamathon II opponent, but he allowed Storme to divert his focus and that resulted in a loss to Nightrain at Saturday Night Rapture. Morrison couldn’t believe he let Nightrain beat him and although he had picked up victories over ‘Train the previous two shows, this loss was going to gnaw at him for a long time. The man known as true greatness doesn’t like to lose and he was even more upset due to the fact that he felt he let himself get beat.
Nevertheless, Morrison showed up for his scheduled interview time and entered the studio; sitting across from Tony. A commercial break was getting ready to end and after a quick hello, the two gentlemen put on their headphones and the bumper music began to play.)

I didn’t win this belt by going to an amusement park and throwing a ring around a milk jug. I didn’t win this belt by going on eBay and outbidding everyone else. Oh no, I won this belt because I was supremely more talented than Israel Steele and I’ve kept this belt because I’m supremely more talented than anyone that has been put in front of me. The concept is good and the idea makes sense but Storme attacking me was failed execution.

“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well that would explain your stupid question. Larry, let me be very clear on something; I don’t give a crap what Storme has done in the past. I don’t care if he dated Lady Gaga and I don’t care if he has had tea and crumpets with the Queen of England. The bottom line is this; Steve Storme is a broadcaster.

Tony: Let’s go to Bridget on a cell. Bridget, what’s your question for the reigning Platinum Champion?
Caller #2 -- Bridget: Michael, I have a huge crush on the Vendor. He’s so handsome and smart as a whip. Is he single? Do you think you could set the two of us up? Pretty please!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Tony, who listens to your show? Do they turn off Jerry Springer and jump right to this?
Tony: I have a diverse listenership Michael, what can I say?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: I say that it’s frightening. Bridget, the Vendor is without a doubt the dumbest man on planet earth. He’s fat, ugly, and dead flies have larger IQ’s. Please, these dumb questions are making my head hurt. Come on Cincinnati, there has to be ONE intelligent person out there.
Tony: Well let’s see if Frank can meet the criteria! Frank, what’s your question for Michael?
Caller #3 -- Frank: Yeah, I just want to say that Michael Morrison is the greatest professional wrestler in the history of the world and nobody can beat him. NOBODY!
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Thank you Frank. Finally a voice of reason.
Caller #3 -- Frank: When can I expect that check from you Michael?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Shut up moron.
Tony: Well, I think we’ll wrap things up here on “Tony Talks.” Michael, any final thoughts?
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well Tony, I said this during my first appearance on your show and I’ll say it once again now. I’m going to walk in Slamathon II as the PCW Platinum Champion and I’m going to walk out as the PCW Platinum Champion. It’s as simple as that. Steve Storme is going to learn that you just can’t attack people and not face the consequences. You might be able to get away with that with some but you better believe that you can’t with true greatness. When he tried to break my arm, that just turned everything up a notch and he will now have to do the time for his crime. I’m very much looking forward to hearing him broadcast the next Rapture because he’ll realize, as he sits there, that messing with Michael Morrison was a serious lapse in judgment. It’s as simple as that.
Tony: Good luck Michael and we look forward to your next appearance right here on “Tony Talks!” We’ll be right back, after this commercial break, on 1490 WCIN.
(The commercial break begins to play as Michael exit’s the studio and heads towards his car in the parking lot. Before opening his front door, he stares towards the ground for a few moments.)
“True Greatness” Michael Morrison: Well Steve, the time is finally here. You made your bed and now you’re going to have to lay in it. Remember this when you’re on the mat, seeing my hand raised in victory…you brought this all on yourself. You attacked me, you tried to break my arm and you are trying to take my PCW Platinum Championship away from me. Well guess what, what I did to you at Rapture two weeks ago…planting you through that table during our contract signing…is just a small taste of what I’m going to do to you at Slamathon. I am true greatness Storme and I am the greatest PCW Platinum Champion in the history of Premium Championship Wrestling. Just like Steele…just like Baker…just like Warrens…just like Nightrain…just like DLK…just like everyone else…you will soon realize that messing with me is not smart at all. You’re a broadcaster pal and that’s something you should stick to. Don’t quit your day job and I’ll see to it that you don’t. The PCW Platinum Championship on the line means that you better have your big boy pants on because I’m not going to be messing around. The time for talk is over and it’s time to meet face to face. You didn’t take me out and that will be your ultimate downfall. I’m looking forward to kicking your ass, Storme, I really am. “Thunder Struck”….”Greatness Personified”…maybe both…you’ll never see it coming. But you’ll sure as hell feel it. And you know what the funny thing is? There’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me. Try talking yourself out of this one microphone boy.
(Michael laughs as he enters his car and drives off. The scene fades to black.)
