Wandering Backstage(o2a)

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Manor decided he'd stop backstage again, dressed in tan cargo shorts and a white tank top with a red bandanna around his head. Turning a corner here and there cross paths with several backstage people he exchanged a friendly hello with. Occasionally, he's have a quick talk with them about how things were going.

Eventually, he makes his way to catering. Looking over the food, obviously looking for something specific. It's been a while, but I told them I'd be showing up, lets see if they remembered my usual. He continues looking before his eyes open with excitement. Yes, they remembered it! Grabbing himself everything neccessary, he assembles his special ham and peanut butter sandwich with frosting on top.

Excited with his sandwich he goes back to examining the area. Now where did they put it? If they remembered the stuff for my sandwich they should have remembered my drink. Manor looks carefully for any sign of a drink just for him. A very specific mixture of Moutain Dew, Root Beer, and Doctor Pepper. Finally spotting it, he reaches for it when...

[Christian MoneyMaker]

Moneymaker walks up and sees a familiar face and knows that he is here only for business purposes only. He knows that this man was a great performer in the ring and a former Champion.

Don't drink too many of those and eat too many of these. You have come back home to where you belong and all you can do is find a soda that kills your kidneys and a sandwich that will put the weight on ya? Or are you here for another reason? You see Manor there is no doubt that you are and I put emphasis on are as one of the best. But what you got to do is show the world that you are here for business. I would think that a man of your talents isn't here just to hang out with the boys or try to pick up chicks. Tell me there is more to you than just that?

MoneyMaker wanted to know why he was here and to see where his mind was at.

passing through that exact area he hears the money man from iw talking. Looked over to who he was talking to. Oh wait he knew that guy.

Kratos
Sup Maniac?

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Jerking at the unexpected greeting he knocks over the bottle holding his drink, thinking he spilled it for a moment. He quickly calms down seeing the cap on it though and picks up the bottle and sets it next to him before fishing a ring out of his pocket. Already taken. Waiting on a new one. Last time I put this one on, had to go to the ER to get it removed. Turned the whole finger purple. Manor shrugs his shoulders. Would have been cool if it weren't for the risk of losing my finger.

Another shrug of the shoulders as he takes a bite of his sandwich and talks with his mouth half full. I'm retired, you should know that. I do interviews here and there to help get IW more exposure. Manor swallows what's in his mouth as he continues. But no interest in getting back into the ring. I've accomplished and proven everything I needed to. Long as Sentoryu doesn't beat Angel for the title, the company will be fine without me.

Manor lets out a small burp before taking another bite of his sandwich looking over to Kratos. Not a bad defense there for first one. Some big deals you knocked off.

[Christian MoneyMaker]

MoneyMaker rubs his goatee as he ponders what Manor just said.

Seems to me you got an issue with Sentoryu? Is he the man itching your desires? Tell me there is not more to this? If he beats Angel that will be another title win for him. I see you may have more than just professional ambition when you walk down these halls. Publicity for I:W? What makes I:W is not the interviews but the action in the ring. A man of your talents wasting it on interviews with my next ex wife does you no good.

And look at Kratos over here. You see what he has done haven't you? A man on a mission. A man worthy of such accolades. You both got great pedigrees among you. I know Manor if you ever did return to the ring then I could use a guy like you and Kratos. Can you imagine you guys perhaps holding the Tag Titles and both of you holding the singles titles at the same time. Just makes a man like me think of all the possibilities. Unless you are satisfied on where you are in life Manor? I know Kratos sees more from himself but he has taken step #1. The rest is up to you as it is up to Kratos.

MoneyMaker can see the calm before the storm as he knows that Sentoryu is in the head of Manor. Maybe there is more of this appearance by Manor than meets the eye?

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Manor's eyes narrow as he looks at MoneyMaker. Not interested. There's nothing left to prove in this business. I've won the top title. Beaten the "unbeatable". Over the odds. Created moments. Became a legend. Rejected it. And I don't have a beef with Sentoryu. Manor takes another bite out of his sandwich more aggressive this time. I just don't think him as top champ will be good for business around here. I don't like wolves who try to pretend to be a sheep.

First responds to Scott.

Kratos
Yep. Ain't easy, but I'm loving havin the bull's eye on my back. Everyone wants to be a champion one day or once again. Some see me, and think they got this in the bag already. And I'm like good, think that, and I'll just open your eyes after the match. But enough about me. What you been up to?

As he asked the question, Moneymaker was butting in trying to butter him up.

Kratos
Yes yes. I know who I am, and where I'm going to. Don't need some desperate old man trying to look for his next score. If I want a tag team, it won't from your schemes. Might want to press on to others who are looking to be brainwashed. Ain't happenin here. So uh bye.

[Scott "Maniac" Manor]

Manor takes the last bite of his sandwich finishing it off and taking a sip of his drink to help it go down. Eating free food. Manor thinks for a second. Yeah, that's about it. Just eating free food.
