Subject: Running the promo gauntlet...First stop: late night TV...

The scene opens with a shotof Time Square in New York City. The concrete jungle is filled with its normal commotion, however an unusually large crowd is gathered at the door of the Rockerfeller Building. As the camera changes to a close up view of the crowd, excitedfans start throwing their arms in the air and yelling toward the camera. Several of them are wearing UWF T-shirts, and as expected, a few fanaticshold their signs up in the air. As the camera pans upward, a small billboard can be see reading "Tonight on Late Night with Connan O'Brien: Prop Comic Carrot Top, the UWF's Diablo, and musical guest Kid Rock." The camera pans down once again, and the scene closes with a mob of fans rushing the camera with Diablo T-shirts and other merchandice.
The scene reopens inside of Diablo's dressing room, in the Late Night studios. The flat, square, white walled room is decked out with fruit baskets and flowers of all varities. And of course, Diablo is in the center of focus sitting on a couch just resting with his eyes closed. He is in his normal attire of baggy black jeans, a white tanktop with a gold chain and sunglasses. HIs meditative state is broken with a knock on the door.

Diablo- It's open...

Into the room comes the host of Late Night, Connan O'Brien himself. The show has not started yet and Connan isn't dressed in his usual suit yet. He walks into the room in street clothes, a white shirt with blue jeans, and walks up to Diablo. He gets off the couch and shakes Connan's hand inviting him in.

Connan O'Brien- I just came to see how you were doing. The show doesn't start for another thirty minutes so I havesometime to kill.

Diablo- I'm alright C. I just got here too, like five minutes ago. I mean did you see that mob out there, it took me an hour to break throughthat God damncrowd out there. [smiling] That's a proper welcome for Diablo into the UWF.

Connan O'Brien- Oh yeah, well you better watch out when they get into the building. Especially with Kid Rock coming in. Doesn't he do your ring entrance music. I guess we'll be hearing it tonight, as well as thursday night at the main event. So I guess now your in the big times.

Diablo- Whoa, whoa, whoa hold up C. First off, this ain't the first time Diablo has been a main eventer. Some of the greatest matches have had my name attached to them. Second, this one main event is a tag team match, which just don't seem right. I mean , only two men deserve to be headlining the first ever UWF Thursday Massacre, but at least both of us are going to be opponents.

Connan O'Brien- I'm not following you...

Diablo- It's like this C. This buisness is all about respect, If you have the respect of the fans and the other wrestlers, you get to the top. That's why Diablo's here, that's why your looking at a main eventer. The only other wrestler in that match that I can say the same for is the Outlaw himself, Jayson Grey. What Diablo doesn't understand , is why isn't that the main event, a one on one between to of the most hardcore wrestlers of all time.

Connan O'Brien- Do you really think that's a good ides taking on a man that size by yourself?

Diablo slowly takes off his sunglasses and turns his head toward Connan. He gets a little nervous as Diablo's expression drasticly changes.

Diablo- What the hell is that supposed to mean [mocking]"Is that a good idea". You think Diablo, "the giant killer", is afraid of facing Outlaw. Please I've taken down bigger men than him on even less of a stage. Do you think that when the lights flash, and the cameras go on, that Diablo won't fight till the end to get the win. As a matter of fact, that should be the match: Diablo vs Outlaw. That's what the main eventer of the first ever Massacre should be.

Connan O'Brien- I don't get it, are you saying you don't like your partner?

Diablo- Like I said C. The game is about respect and "Diablo's partner" Damien Casanova just broke commandment number one: don't disrespect the man. Diablo is a faormer Tag Team Champion, everyone knows that if you need someone to watch your back, Diablo's your man. Now Damien, he's a former.........you see my point. This one thinks he can just take on Outlaw, one of the greatest in the buisness, by himself? He thinks that the spotlight is on him, that anyone will pay to see him? Damien says to "stay out of his way"? Don;t get in the way of "the monster"? Oh my God the monster how f@ckin' scary. I think I'd better not come out at all, and let the monster take out his rage. Please,this fool don't know what the hell he's getting his dumbass into.

Connan O'Brien- I'm not an expert in wrestling or anything, but shouldn't you be more focused on fighting your opponents than your own partner?

Diablo- Wait a minute, [sarcasticly] you're trying to tell Diablo that you, the host of a late night talk show are not a wrestling expert. I mean with advise like that how can you not be. Look C, Diablo ain't entering a new company looking for enemies. So I'm gonna do Damien a favor, he can have his "handicap match", and Diablo will just do some ring side commentating.

Connan O'Brien- Really?

Diablo- Hell no! Massacre is going to be Diablo's show. No one wants to see Daminen Casanova and Keyser Soze get it on. The fans out there pay to see the real superstars like Diablo and Outlaw fight it out. Damien shouldn't be crying about a tag team partner , his gothic punk ass should pray to God he's even aloud to be in the arena let alone in the ring with a former champion. You know what C, it's sh@t like that that pisses me off. Diablo doesn't want to wait for Massacre, I'll take some one out right now.

Connan O'Brien- [nervously]Ah hahaha, come on you don't want to do that. You have an interview in a hour...

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, the door swings open. In walks the stage managerwith a head set and a clip board. Without knocking , the man wearing a dress shirt and pants barges in not helping Diablo's aggrivation.

Stage Manager- Ah, Connan you need to be in wardrobe right now. Do I need to remind you that we are taping this show. Thank you...oh yeah and Diablo...

Like being slammed by a freight train, Diablo knocks down the man with a super kick. After being hit by "Diablo's Message" the stage manager hits the floor and his clip board and head set go flying into the air. Diablo stands over the mans body as Connan quickly makes his exit.

Diablo- Next time knock muthaf@cker...

Diablo goes back to the couch and picks up his jacket. He gives the motionless body on the floor one more disgusted look and heads out the door. There in the hall way Diablo checks his watch, there's still another twenty minutes before the show is going on the air. Diablo sees a near by water fountain and takes a sip. He takes one big sigh to calm himself down for the show, but it doesn't seem to work. His anticipation of thursday night has gotten to him and he's become too pumped up. Diablo begins to pace to drive out the extra energy. All the while, different staff and cast members are walking through different halls in commotion of the starting show. Down the hall an open door reveals the audience who is just filing into the studio. They are unaware that Diablo is so close by, nor does he mind with their presence. None of this seems to bother him, as he paces around the halls with his facce down. Out of nowhere another stage manager bumps into Diablo accidentally. Before his temper flares up again Diablo looks up seeing the woman and dismisses it...

Stage Manager 2- I'm so sorry Mr..ahh Diablo. [waits for a response but gets none] Is there something wrong, or something I can get you?

He looks at her for a second still silent. Diablo sees she is waering a headset and holding a clipboard, and remembers the guy that he left lieing on his dressing room floor.

Diablo- Yeah, one thing. You might want to check my dressing room.

-Stage Manager 2- Is there something wrong with it?

Diablo- Yeah there is, one of your co-workers is knocked out on the floor. He's been in there for a while. I'd check up on him if I were you, he might have a concussion or something. [Diablo is silent expecting the women to say something] I think I hit him a little to hard. It's been a while since my last match, and that's alot of pent up frustration. You know what I mean?

Stage Manager 2- Oh...okay...

Quickly the woman calls someone on her head set and rushes into Diablo's dressing room to check on her co-worker. Staring at the door Diablo has half a grin on his face, but spends little time worrying about this situation. As more of the shows staff rushes into the room, Diablo decides to give Kid Rock a visit obviously not giving any of this much mind. Unfortunately on his way to the dressing room, Diablo bumps into the shows second guest, Carrot Top. He tries to turn around and hide his face hoping not to be recognized, but its all in vain.

Carrot Top- Hey, Diablo what's up. I'm glad I bumped into you. I wanted to show you this knew invention I made. [he pulls something out of a bag] You see its a pair of tights with a cup already inside, you know for all the times...yeah I guess it's not funny. Anyway, I can't wait to see youat Massacre. I bought my ticket already, front row man, so you can see the Top from the ring. [he puts his hand up looking for a high five, but gets Diablo's cold stare] Alright cool...yeah anyway, it's gonna be cool you versus Outlaw. Hey is it true that he taught you how to wrestle...huh?

The air bocmes sucked out of the room. Diablo slowly removes his glasses, never taking focus away from Carrot Tops's eyes. Diablo's hard look is starting to get him nervous, as there is a dead silence.

Carrot Top- [nervous] So I guess that match is going to be hard right?

Diablo- So your a fan of Diablo, you know everything ther is to know about Diablo? Are you writting Diablo's biography? Are you suck on the chapter where Diablo learned to fight, well I'll let you in on a little secret. Diablo didn't learn from no one, I was raised hardcore and I live hardcore. Diablo have nothing but respect for Outlaw, he's the man who showed me the ropes of this buisness. But get one thing straight, this ain't no gimmick match. This isn't student versus teacher, Daivid versus Galiath, this match is hardcore versus hardcore, man versus man. I worried about Outlaw and his partner celebrating no victory yet. He knows Diablo is not and never has been no underdog. And as longas Diablo's in the ring, Outlaw knows he's going to have to work for the win column. But then again, it's that what the fans want to see? A cruiser-weight going up against a hardcore heavy-weight like Jayson "the Outlaw" Grey? Isn't that what sells tickets?

Carrot Top- Actually that sounds pretty...

Diablo- It was a rhetorical question! Well if fans want that kind of match they'll be sadly disappoined. Cuz in that ring are going to be two of the most hardcore wrstlers to ever enter a ring. And if just one person wants Outlaw to throw in the chairs and tables, Diablo says bring it. That's more of my style anyway. Come to think of it, why isn't that the main event for Massacre. A one on one hardcore match, Outlaw versus Diablo. Who's idea was to make this a tag team match up. If that isn't bad enough they couldn't even pick a respectable partner for Diablo like a midgit wrestler or a little school girl, but no Diablo's stuck with Damien Casanova. Oww it's that scary?

Carrot Top- No it's not, vampires and stuff like that are scary.

Diablo- Boy if you anwser one more rhetorical question I'm gonna...Anyway, you actually think the boss is gonna change the card...if you anwser that question...I guess I'm gonna have to deal with it for one night, but things better turn right real soon. Cuz Diablo has some big dreams, bigger than just headlining thursday nights. Bigger than tag team matches, bigger than hardcore matches, bigger than Damien or Keyser. The biggest thing...the only thing that I dream of... being the top dog...holding that UWF Championship Title! And I don't care if I have to team up with the "lord of darkness" in tag team matches, or if I have to face Keyser, Damien and Outlaw myself. Diablo will reach the top of the mountain, so don't worry about me...worry about who ever gets in Diablo's way...

Before Carrot Top can even anwser Diablo heads down the hall back to his locker room. At this time a few guys are help the stage manager to his feet outside of Diablo's door. They quickly get out of his way, as Diablo slowly makes his way into his dressing room. As the camera pans down the hallway, we see that the show has already started. And Connan O'Brien is on stage beginning his monologue. The scene closes with a shot of the host heading for hie desk moments away from introducing his first guest...
