BADD BOY DERRICK STARDOM

(Dok Hendriks is on the interview stand.)

Dok: Ladies and gentlemen... the former Intercontinental Champion, Badd Boy.. Derrick STARDOM!!!!!

(Cult of Personality starts to play and Derrick comes through the curtains. He starts to play to the fans, taunting them and having a good time. He's dressed in his tuxedo jacket and looking very fine. The girls are screaming for him... but he keeps out of reach.)

(Meanwhile, up on the stand, Dok is joined by... Roxanne!? She whispers something to Dok and he nods... then hands her the mic and walks off. Derrick continues toward the stand, dancing a bit... and strutting a bit more. He hasn't looked up yet... until he gets up onto the stand... and sees Roxanne in front of him with the mic. He shrugs and walks up and stands next to her. Roxanne smiles nervously.)

Roxanne: Hi Derrick.

Derrick: (nodding.) Roxanne.

Roxanne: Derrick... you're free from Sabrina now. What's the first thing on your agenda?

Derrick: You make it seem like I was trying to get out from her. Like she was a curse or something....

Roxanne: Maybe you WEREN'T trying to get free... but now that you are, you SHOULD be able to see that you should have been TRYING!

Derrick: Maybe you were right all along. (she smiles) What BBDS is here to talk about right now... is the Intercontinental Title Tournament. I've got to win this belt... for one reason... and one reason only. To PROVE that I did it the first time...WITHOUT Sabrina's help. I forfeited the title for something I thought was right... and dammit... if I have to rocket up and down the rest of the bracket two, three, forty times... to prove I was right... I WILL.

Roxanne: Well, you won't HAVE to, but I KNOW you could! Remember... I was the one last year the told you things would get better.. and they did. Derrick... I've watched you since you debuted in 1993. You NEVER took the easy way out. You ALWAYS met challenges head on. When the other rookies were challenging each other, you were challenging the Four Horsemen. You took a lot of lumps for it... but NONE of those rookies, except for Lucifer Graves, has gone on to do anything! And your reign surpassed Graves by FAR! Derrick, Sabrina may have tainted a few of your wins here and there... but your CAREER over-shadows everything that she's done. You get a bad rap from everyone... but that's just because they're blind to what a great wrestler... and person you really are. I mean... YOU were the one that came out and cleared Heart Attack's name through that VHS tape ordeal! You were the one that protected Heart Attack as Sabrina was about to lay into her after spraying her with perfume. YOU did those things Derrick. You're a HERO!

Derrick: Roxanne... you're givin' me cavities. Now ask me some questions about JoBo.

Roxanne: Alright. (she seems enthralled by him.) What is WITH JoBo? Why does he want you so bad?

Derrick: Let's just say I wronged him in a PAST LIFE! Now he's lookin' for pay-back. Funny how we're paired up in the first round of the tournament. The guy's big... strong... agressive... but he's not the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom. I've proved it once... and I'll prove it to him again. He's going to find himself flat on his back, lookin' up at the stars... and then find himself DECAPITATED by the StarFall! Then it's on to either Flash Funk or the 1-2-3 Kid in round two!

Roxanne: Derrick... um... you said you were looking for a new squeeze. And I was just wondering... if you ... um... had anybody in mind?

(Roxanne smiles at Derrick, expectantly. He looks her up and down, then looks her straight in the face.)

Derrick: Nah. (Roxanne's smile fades quickly.) I told everybody before... that THIS star doesn't LOOK... THEY find HIM! Now back to I/C tournament talk...

Roxanne: Actually... that's all the questions I have.

(Roxanne looks sad as she holds the microphone up to Derrick for his final thoughts.)

Derrick: (taking the microphone) JoBo... round ONE! The Badd Boy Derrick Stardom is going to have to be REAL careful here. Because I might just get myself disqualified because I'm pounding your sack-a-bones self into the mat so hard, lookin'...

Roxanne: ...OH-SO-FLY in the doin'-so...

(Their eyes meet. But Derrick turns back to the camera.)

Derrick: ...that the referee will be FORCED to toss me head over heels out of the tournament via a DQ. And JoBo.. I don't want that to happen. So just do what I'm tellin' you to do. SHOW UP... take a NUMBER... and then stand in line... because you'll be next to get the servin' of a carcass-kickin', courtesy of the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom! LIGHTS OUT!

(The lights go off in Madison Square Gardens, leaving just the crowd noise... and a spinning galaxy of lights playing off the ceiling.)

Derrick: The pleasure was all...

Roxanne: MINE.
