JOSH MATHEWS: A champion prepares himself from the inside out. Not merely on the day of the event, but in the weeks, months and years leading up to the opportunity to claim greatness. Miro, one of the competitors in this Saturday's Contender Battle Royal, has trained his body from the inside out for decades now, taking care to begin the day with proper nutrition.
A camera shows off the inside of a kitchen that's larger and nicer than it has any right to be. Inside we find the owners of said kitchen, WLCW contender Miro and his wife, the beautiful CJ Perry. The duo are sparsely dressed, Miro in Thai boxing style shorts and nothing else, CJ in a sports bra and workout shorts. It's enough to make anyone feel inferior, but being the host of a WLCW documentary team tasked with following Miro on his journey to the contender battle royal this weekend, Josh Matthews does his best to keep a professional composure.
MIRO: This is a waste of my time, I don't need some stupid camera to follow me around my own home.
CJ PERRY: Miro, it's for good publicity. You've done this hundreds of times before.
MIRO: Yes, and where has that gotten me? Nowhere! I'm done with charity events and being the nice lovable guy. That garbage doesn't do me any good!
JOSH MATHEWS: I can just come back later.
MIRO: Don't you dare leave! I've already taken time out of my day to do all of this for you, the least you could do is make sure that my time is not wasted.
CJ PERRY: That's the spirit. This will be good for our image.
JOSH MATHEWS: Yes, it will! Since the consolidation of all the world's major wrestling organizations, the world wide audience needs a good reintroduction to who everyone is! Why, when it was just the WWE and a few other big promotions around–
MIRO: QUIET! I don't need a damn history lesson, I lived through all of that crap! What I need is some peace and quiet so I can enjoy my breakfast!
The sizzling of bacon intensifies on the stove and Miro glares at Matthews.
MIRO: That better not be burnt.
Thankfully, the bacon was not burnt, and a short time after, an impressive breakfast is ready to be consumed. Miro has a rather large plateful of various meats and eggs, while CJ is enjoying a colorful fruit smoothie.
JOSH MATHEWS: I always say that a champion's body is built in the kitchen! From the looks of things, you've really made quite an effort to put that thought process to work.
Miro looks back and forth between CJ and Josh Matthews in disbelief.
MIRO: This is it? This is all that you could come up to talk about? That I take care to eat a good breakfast? Why do you waste my time with such crap? Couldn't you have spent just a little more time coming up with something original? There's an entire network of only wrestling shows and you're asking about my breakfast. Isn't there somebody that can come up with something more creative than this?
JOSH MATHEWS: I, uhhh… I'm not really sure… umm…
MIRO: And quit stammering like an idiot! The least WLCW could've done is send Matt Striker instead of yourself. At least he has a respectable jawline.
Matthews grabs his jaw and looks dejected.
JOSH MATHEWS: My mom said there's nothing wrong with my jawline.
MIRO: What was that?
JOSH MATHEWS: No-nothing! I was just admiring how good of a cook you and your wife are.
MIRO: Of course we're the best. That much should be obvious.
JOSH MATHEWS: Any why's that?
Miro's eyes grow wide. He drops his fork with a loud clank and throws his hands up in the air.
MIRO: I give up! This man is too stupid to be in my house!
Miro begins to walk out of the room, but turns around before he gets to the door. He snags his bacon off the plate, looks Matthews in the eyes and takes a big bite.
MIRO: I'm going to work out.
Matthews and the cameraman begin to follow Miro but CJ quickly puts a stop to it.
CJ PERRY: Hang on, Miro doesn't want anybody to disturb his workout.
JOSH MATHEWS: But, the WLCW want me to follow him.
CJ PERRY: Look, I'm heading to the pool and Miro will join us after he's done. You can wait for me there.
Matthews and the cameraman head out back and take a look around at a beautifully laid out inground pool. There is a water feature at the far end, lights inside the pool itself, and covered deck chairs spread out around the perimeter. Matthews takes a seat and lays back in one of the covered chairs. He then turns toward the camera and smiles.
JOSH MATHEWS: I could get used to this.
CJ PERRY: Enjoying yourself?
Matthews quickly hops up off the chair. CJ approaches them in a red bikini and sunglasses and the boys do their best not to stare, though they're really not all that good at trying. She sets down a large glass of iced tea and lays back in her own chair before encouraging Matthews to have a seat himself.
JOSH MATHEWS: So… this is quite the backyard.
CJ PERRY: You can stop trying to break the ice, you've been here for nearly an hour already.
JOSH MATHEWS: Right. So, can you share any insight into Miro's motivation going into this big battle royal on Storm this weekend?
CJ PERRY: What kind of a stupid question is that? You're asking what Miro's motivation is in joining a number one contender battle royal for the inaugural WLCW World Championship match?
JOSH MATHEWS: Yes.
CJ takes a drink of her tea and lays back again without saying a word. Matthews is a bit confused and just awkwardly sits there for what seems like an eternity as CJ continues to ignore him. Several times he tries to ask a question, but can't seemingly come up with enough confidence to actually ask it.
MIRO: What the hell do you think you're looking at?
Josh Matthews nearly jumps out of his skin as tumbles out of his chair and onto the ground. Miro is laughing at Matthew's expense and puts an arm around the WLCW host as he gets to his feet.
MIRO: You see that, over there?
Miro gestures toward his scantily clad wife. Matthews is all too happy to look and nods with a bit too much enthusiasm.
MIRO: She's gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. There isn't a more beautiful woman on the face of the Earth, and right now you get to see her sexy body in a bikini, right in front of your very eyes.
Josh Matthews is starting to relax as he gazes at the supermodel in front of him.
MIRO: She's the kind of woman that could get any man she wants on this planet. Hollywood's elite would line up and down the street just for the chance to meet her, but she didn't want any of them. She could've married into a multi billionaire's family, but she rejected their offers as well. Yet when I came calling, she jumped right into my arms. Do you know why, Josh Matthews?
JOSH MATHEWS: No?
MIRO: Because I'm a winner. She wanted a real man. When she looked at everyone that wanted to claim her as their own, none could stand anywhere close to me because I am just flat out better than the competition.
JOSH MATHEWS: Is that some sort of allegory to wrestling?
MIRO: Make of it what you will, just know that the most beautiful woman on Earth chose me because, when compared to me, everyone else is just a disappointment.
JOSH MATHEWS: I knew it! This all ties into the battle royal!
MIRO: No shit Sherlock! This whole event is centered around me. Isn't it painfully obvious yet? WLCW was built with the idea of me being at the top as the franchise centerpiece. I'm the top draw, because I'm a real winner, unlike the trash that's about to be thrown over the top rope in Saturday's battle royal. I am a god among insects, and nobody will be able to tell me anything different, because nobody will be able to prove otherwise. I'm heading into this contender battle royal fully expecting to be one of the last two men standing tall at the end. When my arm is raised, I'm going to look across that ring at whoever my opponent for the world title will be, and I will stare into their eyes, and I will strike fear into their soul. This is the beginning of MY ascension, and from the moment I look my opponent in their eyes, they'll know it to be true.
