The scene opens to a dimly lit room and Slam! resident sit down interviewer, Richard 'PW' Robbins is seen sat in front of a camera reading note cards. Aside him is an empty chair and between the two chairs is a table with a pitcher of water and two glasses arranged on it.

Voice: "We're on in two, Richard!"

Richard: "Right then....Is he almost here!"

Voice: "Just outside the door."

A figure appears and extends his arms holding out three fingers and then begins counting down folding each finger as he does.

Voice: "And three....two.....one!!!!"

The camera flashes momentarily and Richard sits forward in his seat preparing to begin the segment. He takes a sip of his half full glass of water and clears his throat.

Richard: "Ladies and gentlemen....It is my great honor to interview a man that really needs no introduction. Though without further ado I present to you 'The Loose Cannon' Dean Venchenzo."

The door connecting to the hallway opens letting an abundance of light into the room. Many crew members and equipment that were once in the shadows are now revealed as Dean quickly closes the door behind him and makes his way to the seat next to PW and sits down promptly.

Richard: "Thank you, Dean for joining me here today. Dean has agreed to allow us to take a look into his life FIW and beyond. So sit back, hold onto your seats. You are about to embark on a journey like no other."

Richard flips through some note cards as Dean adjusts himself in his seat and prepares himself mentally for the line of questioning about to be presented to him.

Richard: "First off, Dean. Lets discuss how you began in the great sport of professional wrestling. Where did you get your start?"

Dean: "I have been involved with wrestling to some capacity all through out my life. You know high school and briefly in college. That's when I learned about this school in Calgary. It was near Stu Hart's Dungeon and it was supposed to be a major competition to that school. I heard Brian Pillman was going to be making an appearance and he was my idol. So I headed out and one thing led to another. Next thing I knew I was living on Ramen noodles and cyphoning gas from my neighbors cars just to make it to wrestling school everyday."

Richard: "What was the name of your wrestling school?"

Dean: *laughs* "Vito's Big Time Wrestling School. Should have known by the name it wouldn't be what I made it out to be in my mind."

Richard: "Elaborate please."

Dean: "Well things started off rocky. First thing was they promised an appearance of Brian Pillman. Now I've got to give Vito some credit. Pillman did make an appearance. Though not exactly what everyone was expecting. You see, if you looked out Vito's bathroom window you could see straight into the Dungeon. I saw Brian training with Stu and Owen that day. I remember it like it was yesterday. Each of us had to take turns standing on the toilet and peering out the window to get our Brian Pillman appearance."

Both PW and Venchenzo break out into laughter at the humorous moment in Dean's journey to becoming a professional wrestler. After a few moments pass, Dean clears tears of laughter from his eyes and continues on explaining his time in Vito's Big Time Wrestling School.

Dean: "Everything from that moment was down hill. Vito taught us how not to take a bump and how not to take a punch or kick. He then began to book us on a small carnival circuit in Minneapolis. Mind you it was during the middle of the winter and it often gets below zero in Minneapolis. We were outside freezing our balls off for ten dollars a match with no formal training."

Richard: "Ten dollars a match? A bit on the frugal side don't you think?"

Dean: "Your telling me! I had to pick up a job as a bouncer in a night club in St. Paul just to get by. So I'd start wrestling at eight in the morning and get off by about four o'clock. I'd have enough time to run to a local hotel. Sneak into their spa and take a quick shower in the booth that supposed to be for rinsing off before entering the spa. Then it was off to my night job as a bouncer. I'd often not get out of the night club until four in the morning. Then suffer and hour and a half drive home on icy road with me barely keeping my eyes open."

Richard: "How long did this go on?"

Dean: "About a month and a half before I finally told Vito where he could shove his ten dollars a match. I continued to work at the night club and put my wrestling career on the back burner. I continued to work out though and with the occasional fight at the club I was able to keep up on defending myself properly. Some of the guys at that club did somethings that I'd never expect. But there wasn't a situation I wasn't able to get myself out of."

Richard: "When was it that you decided to rededicate yourself to your wrestling training?"

Dean: "I met a former FIW head and he told me about FIW. I had heard about the Rising program before. Though at the time I met Tony, Rising had been defunct for a couple months. He had just lost his job with FIW since the closure of Rising. He told me about another wrestling school in New Jersey it was ran by Ronnie Denton a unknown wrestling trainer who had made some what of a name for himself in the New Jersey area training guys in the art of the hardcore style. Alot of the guys in his camp were heading off to ECW and getting big deals. I personally stuck around and earned my bumps."

Richard: "Lets go back a bit. You refered to the former FIW head, Tony? Would that be...."

Dean: "Yeah, Tony Stark. The asshole.....He made alot of empty promises to me. The only thing I ever got out of him was Ronnie's training camp. Tony took me for alot of money. He was acting as a manager to me while I was on the indy circuit. Seems as though when Tony was let go from FIW for the third time it was the time that caused him to snap. He got into a huge tail spin that led to drugs and such. He swindled alot of money from me going behind my back with promoters and taking more than his cut. Thats one guy that really doesn't ever want to see me again. I'll rip him to shreads."

Richard: "Right. So a sore subject I've hit. Lets go ahead and move on. Ronnie's training school was in New Jersey. Is that how you came to live there?"

Dean: "Yeah me and a few guys from the camp chipped in and rented a one bedroom apartment. That place was so cramped. There were litterally people sleeping everywhere and if you weren't the first to take a shower then you got an ice cold one. But you can't beat sixty dollars a month."

Richard: "No you certainly cannot. We have to go to commercial break now but when we come back we will dig into how Dean made his jump to FIW and what his plans for the future are! We'll be right back!"

Dean and Richard sit back in their chairs and grab for their respective glass of water still chatting as the camera fades to commercial.

The camera shot comes back on solely on Richard Robbins who is sitting on the edge of his chair looking refreshed from the commercial break.

Richard: "Welcome back. For those of you just joining us. We have traveled down the road to Slam! with Bane Security member, Dean Venchenzo. From high school wrestler, to carnival side show, to hardcore trainee, and now we move on to FIW and his career since being here."

Richard lifts his glass of water and chugs a bit of water before setting it back down and clearing his throat.

Richard: "Thank you for being candid about your career thus far Dean. You are bringing us into a whole new realm of who Dean Venchenzo is and for that we appreciate it....Moving on I'd like to know about your break into FIW. How did you get your in? Was it due to Tony Stark's influence?"

Dean: "Actually, Tony Stark was well out of my life by this point. I actually was brought to FIW by the owner, Michael O'Hara. He saw me wrestle one time for Ronnie's camp. He and Ronnie are good friends. O'Hara just came up and was like; How would you like your shot at the big time? I couldn't refuse. That night I was on a plane to California to meet up with the TNT roster....."

Richard: "The TNT roster?"

Dean: "Yeah, Michael thought I'd mix in better on TNT. I wrestled a dark match but my style was too extreme for them. As I left that night from the arena, Silent Rage caught up with me and handed me a business card. He told me to give it a chance and that he thought I could make an impact."

Richard: "I take it the card was of the GM at the time, Orion Oldriod?"

Dean: "Actually no! It was the business card of former Slam! General Manager, Jack Manson. It was Jack who flew me to London and had me wrestle some jobber from some local indy fed. I destroyed the poor guy. He never knew what hit him. Jack was very impressed and made a phone call to Orion and gave him my number."

Richard: "Was it then that you were called up to Slam!?"

Dean: "No. I waited nearly three weeks and when I finally had given up hope that I'd be called.....The phone rang and it was Orion Oldriod. He told me of an idea he had to write some of the lesser talent off Slam! I agreed and the next day we met and a contract was signed. A very decent sized one at that. I could not believe the money I was going to be paid just to come in and hurt some people. For that I did as I was asked....each week I came to work and mutilated those that were on the list. When the work was done I was afraid that I would be released. At the time it seemed there was no room for me on the roster."

Richard: "What in fact happened?"

Dean: "Mr. Oldriod made space for me. He said that I was hard working and that is what Slam! needed. A week later I was in contention for the Extreme Chaos Championship. I was sure excited because in my time as a wrestler I had never contended for a title."

Richard: "But you didn't win the ECC. In fact you were stuck on the lower part of the card for quite sometime."

Dean: "That you are correct, Richard. A time of my life I do not like to remember. Though for me to heel my doctor has advised me to talk about it."

Richard: "Your doctor? What exactly are you refering to?"

Dean: "Not many people know that my beautiful wife was killed in a car accident last year. It was a drunk driver and well...*begins to sob*"

Richard hands Venchenzo his kerchief and it is accepted graciously. Dean wipes his eyes and then takes in a deep breath. Robbins motions for Dean to keep the kerchief.

Richard: "If you don't feel comfortable talking then it is no problem. We can move on to something else."

Dean: "Its no problem really. I have to finish what I've started......*sniff* When, Tabitha was ripped from my life. I thought that there was absolutely nothing to live for. My life spiraled causing me to lose focus on the career that I had grown quite accustom to. I went home every night and drank myself into a stupor, often waking up parked somewhere in my car with the engine still running. One night after Jack took back over as GM. I came to the Elite Sports Complex completely trashed. I was sent home and told not to come back until I kicked the booze."

Richard: "What happened to get you past this part of your life?"

Dean: "That night I went home and downed a fifth of one fifty one and popped about ten vicodin. Needless to say my landlord found me laying in the hallway of the complex I lived in and I was frothing from the mouth. He called an ambulance and I was rushed to the hospital. They pumped my stomach and kept my under L.O.S. watch. Which basically meant that I was in very high risk for suicide and had to have someone watching me within eye sight at all times. They took anything I might try to kill myself with and locked me in my hospital room. I passed out that night after destroying the hospital room."

Venchenzo lifts his glass of water and drinks the whole thing in one tip of the glass. He sets it back on the table and refills it with the nearby pitch.

Dean: "The next morning I woke up to Jack Manson and Orion Oldriod standing above me in the wreck of the room. With the instant my eyes opened I was punched in the face by none other than, Jack. He screamed at me for hours telling me how stupid I was and that I'd no longer have a job."

Richard: "Jack is a pretty thick headed person. What made him reconsider giving you your job back?"

Dean: "Later that day after Jack and Orion left. I recieved a visit from a good friend. That friend was Ronnie Denton and he was different."

Richard: "Different? How so?"

Dean: "Ronnie, the greatest guy I had ever known had fallen into the same situation from me....Well...his wife didn't die but he still fell into the same downward spiral. He had lost his wrestling camp and everything he worked so hard for because of alcohol and prescription pills. Ronnie was in a wheel chair never to walk again. I found out that night that Ronnie was the man that went head on with my wifes car as she drove along the five o' five *lip begins to quiver* We talked for hours in which our friendship took some serious plunges. By the end of the night I was able to forgive, Ronnie. That night when he left the room wheeling himself in that chair. I became a new man with a new found love of life."

Richard: "Wow that is quite a story. So how did this convince, Jack to let you back on Slam!?"

Dean: "Just hours before Slam! was set to go on air that following week. I arrived at the Elite Sports Complex with my wrestling gear. I phoned Jack and convinced him to meet me at the Will Call booth. Before I knew it he granted me access into the arena and after much talking and yelling on Jack's part. He agreed to let me back for another chance. Before I knew it three weeks had pasted and we were embarking on yet another FIW pay per view. Bleak's then partner Rasage bailed on Jack and left Bleak in quite a pickle going into a four team elimination match. I volunteered my services and before I knew it Bleak and I were new tag team champions. Quite the proudest moment of my career."

Richard: "Not to be a kill joy. But it was two months later that the former champions, The Ordinary took those titles back bringing us to present moment. *turns to camera* When we return from commercial break. We will discuss Dean's future on Slam! and if the tag titles are in Bane Security's upcoming plans. Don't go anywhere this interview can only get better!"

The camera fades as the interview goes into commercial break.

As the interview comes back from commercial break, Richard now has his sports jacket removed and neatly draped over the arm of the chair he's sitting in.

Richard: "Welcome back from our final commercial break before the conclusion of this wonderful behind the wrestler interview with Dean Venchenzo. We have now worked our way through the roots of his wrestling career and up to his and Bleak's most recent title run as FIW tag team champions. We now move into the future....Dean's future that is. *looks to Dean* What are your plans, Dean?"

Dean: "My first and formost plans are to assist, Orion in a bountiful title reign. But on a personal goal level......I'd have to say there are too many to count."

Richard: "Can we run through a few of them?"

Dean: "I don't see why not. What in particular would you like to know about?"

Richard: "Well most obviously. The tag team championships. What are Bane Security's plans as far as they go?"

Dean: "Well its really not up to us. Jack sounds like he has some concrete plans for us but I'm not sure the tag titles are involved in those plans."

Richard: "With Jack's plans aside. Do Bane Security want the tag titles back?"

Dean: "Of course....We'd be foolish to say we didn't. All I can say is that if Jack gives clearance for us to contend for those titles again. The Ordinary had better say their prayers, take their vitamins and get real strong. Because Bane Security is gonna run wild over them!"

Dean laughs at his own joke and goof on Hulk Hogan and then his face turns back to a more serious matter as he continues to address the question in a more serious manner.

Dean: "Sorry I just though a bit of humor might help all the seriousness. Basically if we get another shot. Blood will be shed and gold to change hands!"

Richard: "Speaking of blood. When you first arrived to Slam! your promised violence to a degree that nobody has ever witnessed. What ever happened to that? I mean you are violent but the degree is to one we've all seen and become bored with."

Dean: "*laughs*Tell it like it really is Richard!"

Richard: "I didn't mean disrespect...."

Dean: "Don't worry. You are right! Like I said earlier. My carreer was side tracked and now that things are back on track. Those that think they are hardcore have another thing coming. My New Years resolution this year was to put up or shut up. Meaning if I don't bring a new degree of violence to Slam! then I will be leaving after the year is over. So be prepared for what is to come. Watch me show people like Evan McKinley who put the V in violence, VENCHENZO!"

Richard: "One last question before we wrap this up. This Thursday you and Bleak will face, Ragin' in a handicap match up. What is your purpose in that match? Why has Jack sent Bane Security after the Master of Rage?

Just before Dean can answer the question a crew worker bursts into the ring panting heavily.

Crew Member: *pant* "Sorry to...ehehe...interupt....but......Mr. Venchenzo. Ragin' is coming and he is pissed!"

Dean stands from his chair and looks down to Richard smiling from ear to ear.

Dean: "Looks like I've got him where I want him. I've got to go Richard. Stay tuned for more!"

With that Dean bolts for the door heading down the hallway in search of his opponent for this Thursday.

Richard: "Thank you for joining us. That is all for this interview. I'm Richard Robbins signing off!"

Richard salutes as the scene fades.
