The scene opens with Rusty sitting at a bar as guitar strings can be heard strumming in the background. Rusty has lined up several shots of Jack Daniels in front of him. Rusty downs one then addresses the camera crew present...
"Well its good to be here in Memphis, Tennessee! I never worked Memphis but that territory lasted a long time. Gotta respect them for that...of course at AWR we have an unlimited budget no thanks to that ingrate young Roberto..."
Rusty sings a few lines of the song being played then seems to remember where his focus was.
"Ya know so many retired rasslers and current rasslers open gyms but its my goal to open a nice little Southern bar like this one right 'ere...infact I'll probably open it in my hometown of Savannah. The small town I've put on the map as a true legend of professional rasslin..."
It sounds like the guitar player is actually singing the lyrics of Rusty's ridiculous entrance theme...
"...he's a legend standing tall...can you imagine the business a bar run by me would do? I'll call it Rusty's...keep it nice and simple. That's what Southern folk like...millions will come from worldwide to hear tales from yesteryear in the world of professional rasslin..."
Rusty gets a serious look on his face and looks more directly at the camera crew.
"I'll be in AWR for years yet of course. Now Old Rusty wants to address an individual who has been trying to profit off the Axel name. A boi claiming to be named Curtis...he rassles up in that New York territory. He had an unmarketable name before now he's trying to ride off my coattails. He never even asked to use my name and I just want to make that clear right now. He has no affiliation with me whatsoever though I'll admit it could have been worse. They could have given that little midget my name or claimed one of those billion talentless broads they have was a relation..."
"Now I'll address the man I'm facing in the rasslin ring this week on CRASH Tv. A young man by the name of Jay Swift. Now the one thing he's guaranteed to get is a swift trip to the learning tree courtesy of Old Rusty! He badmouthed me this past week and it ain't something I appreciate at all. He accused me of hiring Rattlesnake when it was Young Roberto who brought that vulgar tongued moron back to AWR. Yes I offered to manage that boi and he was stupid enough to turn me down. Old Rusty ain't gonna give him a once in a lifetime chance for the second time!"
"Lemme tell ya somethin Swift. If you impress me enough this week I might be willin' to let bygones be bygones. Mt predecessors would have wanted you to be given a good swift kick up your ass but I know things are a little more corporate these days. Still the old ways can work and if you impress me enough I ight even treat ya to a little coaching session. How does that sound? Well it sounds pretty damn good don't it..."
Rusty smiles and takes another shot of whiskey...
"Now I never watched that NIWF Tv and I never watched anything from the THW territory. I was too busy on the road entertaining the fans of professional rasslin. Now I've been told you rassled professionally in both of those territories. I'm gonna watch a few more tapes of ya but from what I've seen you ain't too bad...ya got lucky against young Robert though. Neal told me he was throwing up backstage before the show and still decided to go out to the ring. As for the Harris Brothers they ain't worth a damn and that victory wasn't worth a damn either..."
"Maggia hired ya without doing any sort of research I'll bet. Now all talent hired by me have been thoroughly scouted. We haven't seen any new talent of mine yet...that Gemini boi is another Maggia hire so I'll need to take a look at him soon. I ain't got time to watch everybody and its hard to keep up with all the media these days. The old fashioned scouting system still wors there's nothing wrong with the old principles. I'll be attending a few amateur rasslin contests this weekend...after all the mat style is one I've always tried to incorporate into my matches..."
Some laughter from the camera crew but Rusty of course is oblivious to it as he drinks another shot...
"Now this past week Swift didn't even clear interview time with me. Of course it wouldn't have been allocated had I known he would made such rude, unprofessional comments. If it wasn't for young Roberto I would have told those pyromaniacs and other technical people to cut his mic off. Old Rusty only answers to Silvio by the way and what young Roberto did was a disgrace! Jerry Springer has no place in professional rasslin. The fights on his show are fixed as well! Well that's what I've heard and its been the same with professional boxing to an extent. I'm a fan of rugged competition but there's corruption in that sport. Silvio Megala is the most honourable promoter I've worked for in 34 years! Of course he ain't a promoter in the old fashioned sense. Silvio runs a more streamlined operation but he hired Old Rusty because he knows the fundamentals are the same!"
"Now lets talk about championships in the World of rasslin. I ain't gone after the AWR World Title for one reason and that's one of respect to a good friend of mine...Anthony Royal. I might be offering a couple of tips to Royal for the PPV though I'll consider him the favourite against that psycho regardless. I might sit down with Anthony and watch a few videos of Sho...talk a little strategy. A chance you might get yourself Swift if you show a little respect for those who have built the business."
"Now I very much appreciated that offer of the Hardcore Championship from Royal. However I would never accept a championship belt without winning it in the ring. That belt is beneath Old Rusty and people like Thesz, Brisco and Ladd would turn in their graves at the thought of me doing that hardcore crap! I dedicate each and every one of my sweet scientific contests to the likes of 'em! You're just a young whippersnapper Swift who would have trembled at the knees too scared to look such men in the eye! You couldn't have handled the bone crunching, torturous training Old Rusty went through to get into this business. You couldn't just walk into a rasslin school back then! These rings have been softened as well and that lets people like Swift do that fancy flyin' crap! I'm gonna keep things smooth and technical with a bit of good ol' fashioned smashmouth rasslin sprinkled in!"
"I would very much hope Swift that you stop being a boi and become a man once old Rusty has finished with ya. I'll respect you if you shake my hand after the match even in defeat. Its a terrible shame so many of my classic matches have been lost on old tapes and I want Swift to be able to watch matches with his grandchildren when he's older. This match with me will take pride of place in the Swift collection! I'm a family orientated man and I wouldn't let ya family watch this week Jay. It might get a little ugly but please be a man and come to the ring. I'll go easy on ya...my motivation ain't to cripple ya..."
"I just want to humble ya a bit in the traditional old ways of rasslin. However if you EVER use that kind of language towards me again the only kissing will be your lips attached to the sole of my boot! Ya better get that message loud and clear! Anyway get ya butts outta here I wanna enjoy the rest of my beers in peace..."
Rusty continues to hum along with the guitar rendition of his entrance theme as the scene fades...
