Riot Interview Revealed!

[Stacy Clark]

As many already know, Michael Morrison was scheduled to have a special interview on the last episode of RIOT - an interview that never saw the light of day... until now.

 

The footage was leaked on the web, of all places, but it appears to have been badly edited (most likely by Jim Black, who was interviewing Morrison) so don't be surprised if the footage seems to skip ahead from time to time.

 

::FOOTAGE::

 

J. BLACK: Hello everyone, I’m Jim Black and we’ll be recording this from RIOT’s Grand Rapids Michigan show, August 21st 2008. Now the reason I asked for this to be recorded, as opposed to going live, is a result of who my guest is tonight. He has a history of instability, being disrespectful and downright inappropriate during his interviews, so I wanted to make sure everything we air is suitable for our fans. The man I’m talking about, of course, is Mad Michael Morrison… who should be here already…

*Jim checks his watch and then looks at the camera. After a minute he checks his watch again then looks at the camera*

 

[EDIT]

 

MORRISON: …for the last time, I said I would try to make it in time so just be happy I even showed up. Christ, man… can we just move on?

 

J. BLACK: Well, I don’t know, maybe you’d like to insult my mother a few more times… or do you want to skip to the part where I say this interview is over already?

 

MORRISON: Fine, you’re mother is not a wh…

 

[EDIT]

 

J. BLACK: …that was the worst apology I’ve ever experienced. How do you go from simply insulting my mother and moving on to my entire family during the apology?

 

MORRISON: It’s simple really. Watch… do you have a dog for instance?

 

J. BLACK: Actually, I did… Sparky was his name, but that's beside the point...

 

[EDIT]

 

*Jim Black is crying as Morrison pats him on the back*

 

MORRISON: That’s it… let it all out. But as you see, it’s really easy to turn the knife once you know which emotion you’re hitting. You should probably stop telling me personal things about yourself.

 

J. BLACK: He didn’t deserve to go out like that… he was a good dog.

 

MORRISON: I’m sure he was… so… interview?

 

J. BLACK: Yeah… just give me a sec…

 

[EDIT]

 

J. BLACK: So, with the recent announcement that you will be the “ace” up Parker Steven’s sleeve, as his tag team partner during "Summercide", many people have been wondering just where Mad Mike has been, up until now. You seem to have a history of vanishing for months at a time, which can be quite disconcerting for your fans. Why the sudden breaks, Morrison?

 

MORRISON: Look, Powers, you make it seem like…

 

J. BLACK: Black… not Powers.

 

MORRISON: …say what?

 

J. BLACK: You have me confused with another staff member, I’m Black.

 

MORRISON: Look, I may be Mad, but I know a black guy when I see one and you, my friend, are so white you’re almost transparent. Look, I can see you veins and what appears to be a small tumor forming near your temple - might want to have that checked out.

 

J. BLACK: No, I’m not saying I’m black, I’m saying my name is Black.

 

MORRISON: Jake is hardly a black name… maybe Jerome… or JP. Initials are very popular these days.

 

J. BLACK: For the love of God, you stupid son of a…

MORRISON: …look.

MORRISON: Now I’m not sure if this is a picture taken during a total eclipse or a picture of Smythe, but either way… Black.

MORRISON: Black… look, I could go on and on, but I think you get where I’m going.

 

*Jim Black simply palms his own face, which is full of frustration*

 

[EDIT]

 

MORRISON: I gotcha, I gotcha. Sorry about that, Jimmy. As for your question, before you sidetracked us: The reason Mad Mike goes on these “breaks” as you call them, isn’t something that involves my own free will.

 

J. BLACK: What do you mean?

 

MORRISON: Let me put it this way… every time Mad Mike starts building momentum and the people start listening to what I’m saying… the company gets nervous. I’m not like your other superstars, who’s intentions are apparent and who’s actions can be manipulated to better the company… because my goals are not self-serving.

 

MORRISON: You see, when someone is out for themselves, it’s easy to keep them in check and keep the machine going forward because you know what direction their going… but when someone is out to spread madness, well… you never know if the machine will go forward, left, right or simply break down. So… they make sure I stay out of the lime light. Ya dig?

 

J. BLACK: Not out for yourself? Not self-serving? How can you even say that in a business built on being #1? You, yourself, have won championships and went gunning for titles just like everyone else.

 

MORRISON: Not like everyone else. I didn’t go for titles because I wanted to have a belt around my waste as a symbol of how great I am… I simply wanted the power that came with the leather and gold. That way, no matter how much the company wants to send me on another “break”, they simply wouldn’t be able to. You can’t blackball a champion… the people won’t stand for it… especially if he’s a World Champion. The bigger the belt, the greater the power, the less control they have over me and the people… and they sure as hell don’t want that.

 

J. BLACK: That’s just crazy - nothing more than the rants of a madman who’s buying into his own conspiracy theories.

 

MORRISON: Is that so?

 

*Morrison looks to the left of the camera man and grins*

 

MORRISON: Judging by how everyone is reacting to the voice coming out of their headsets right now, I’m gonna assume this interview is over. What’s the matter, boys… “the man” doesn’t want Mad Mike on the air anymore?

 

J. BLACK: What voice, I’m not getting anything on my headset.

 

*Morrison leans into the camera*

 

MORRISON: You can’t stop me forever… with Parker Stevens on my side, it’s only a matter of time before everyone knows…

 

[EDIT]

 

STAFF MEMBER: …that you can get all the OCW gear you want at “OCWear.com”, the official distributor of “hardwear” for the die hard OCW fans.

If I could I would mark out for this RP, but I can't.

Thanks, Valmont. It's been a while since I wrote my own RP/Interview, so I was a little nervous. It started off as a short, simple explanation, then turned into this... my mind wanders.

Does your mind ever find it's way back home? :)

[The Guy Fausto]

Fa shizzle.

[Eddie Mace]

Good stuff but that doesn't change the fact that I'll have orange and white paint on my boot after Summercide.

[Parker]

That was......madness.
