{The scene opens up with Ghost Dancer sitting in his study, watching matches and interviews of Jo Lallo, his opponent this Thursday night at Massacre. This match is not just any match; it is an important match. Victory means that the winner continues on in the World Title tournament while the loser has to fight to get in line for the next available title shot. Ghost Dancer realizes this, that is why he is doing what he is doing right now, studying his opponent…both in the ring and outside of the ring. Ghost Dancer has been talking to people who know him, both professionally and personally. Ghost Dancer puts the tape on pause and turns to the camera.}

Ghost Dancer: Reid, I hear that you have been gloating about our match, at how you had me beat. But I ask you Reid, if that was indeed true, then why did you hand you your head in our match? The only REAL offense that you mounted against me was getting your woman’s shoe. I knew that you never had what it takes to beat me, not one-on-one encounter. But Reid, do not think for one moment that WE are done, that I will let this slide, because I wont let it slide past me! It is just that I have other more important things to think about, like the Tournament for the World Title. Reid, you are just a sidebar…for now.
As you can see, I am watching anything that I can get my hands on about Jo Lallo, the giant that I will be facing this Thursday at Massacre. I will say that you are a big man…no…a HUGE man and you weigh in at four hundred and fifty pounds. You are truly a sight to behold as you manhandle you opponents, tossing them around like a sack of potatoes. Then am I truly unlucky to be facing this man, Jo Lallo in the Tournament? Let the truth be known, I WANTED THIS MATCH! Not because Jo Lallo and I have differences, that we hate each other. Nothing can be further from the truth, I have no malice in my heart for Lallo, and I only have respect. But the reason why I wanted to face him in the tournament was because he is one of the few people in the UWF who could beat me. I know that I am not invincible, that I cannot be beaten; to think otherwise would be foolhardy on my part.
I will not try to cover the facts that Jo Lallo has a size and strength advantage over me, that if I am not careful, I too could be tossed around like a sack of potatoes. But it is not the first time that I have been in this kind of situation before. If you remember back to when I first entered the UWF, it was a match against Blaze, a man who was HUGE! But you know what, I was able to neutralize his size and strength advantage over me and put him down on the mat for the three count. Just because you area a tower of a man, do not thing for one minute that there is not a mountain of fight in me. Jo, I will not go quietly into the night, I will kick, chop, and wrestle my way past you.
Now, that is the key word…WRESTLE! I will use all of my knowledge, all of my experience to get past you. As big men go, the question is how much stamina do they have, can they keep the pressure up when the match gets will past the fifteen minute mark or will they be running out of gas. Or how can Jo get up quickly off the mat when I knock him down? Will Jo be able to go hold for hold with me on the mat; can he quickly change my offensive holds against me?
Jo, in wrestling, this question has been asked many times in the past, can a technically sound wrestler, like myself, beat a monster power wrestler like yourself. It does not matter how much weight you can pull up, it does not matter how much punishment you can take, all that really matters is that when I get you up off your feet and down to the mat, can you compete in MY GAME? That is something to ponder, Jo. You might even be able to get up off the mat a few times after I knock you down, you might even power your way out of my holds. But lets just say that I pick a body part…like your knee and I keep working at it for fifteen minutes, what do you think would happen? Do you think that you could jump up, give me the choke slam? Do you think that you could mount any kind of offense against me?
As I watch your interview from the UWF, I have to say that you are one funny guy. I liked your skit of trying to find a good bodyguard for you. Humor might make people laugh and smile, but they don’t win matches. What wins matches is heart and desire to win. It seems that the people here in the UWF has lost sight of that fact, that this is not some scripted game, where there are “protected people” who have it written in their contract that they cannot lose or even look bad. Blaze thought that his size and strength would be enough to get him over with the bookers in the back, that they would let that talentless hack win. Matt Reid thought that since he gives “favors” to some of the male bookers that he would get over despite his lack of talent. Jo, do not let their mistakes be your own, if you concentrate on how to make a funny promo and not enough on beating me, a true professional, that it will be your loss…in many ways more than one. Jo, let the talentless hacks like Blaze and Matt Reid have their created promos, but I want you to stay focused on me. Because if you do not, I will find a way to beat you, you can be sure of that. Remember, it only takes one momentary slip of concentration for me to hit you with the “Last Stand.” Do not be too confident that I cannot pick up your body weight; I only have to do it for a few brief seconds.

{The camera zooms onto the face of Ghost Dancer, with his cold eyes and hard stare.}

Jo, make no mistakes about it; everyone has a weakness, including you. And I will find it and I will exploit it to my advantage. So, think about what I have said before that you set out to do a funny promo, think about your focus, and think about at how your lapse of focus can cost you dearly.

{The screen fades to black.}
