Following a match, the announce team sends things backstage with Fabiola, who was ready to conduct an interview.

Thanks, guys. I'm standing here with "The Colossus" Steven Higby. First and foremost, I'd like to ask you about the relationship between you and your former manager Marshall Dane. What happened?

There IS no more Marshall Dane as far as I'm concerned. Dane found me in Blackpool about 3 years ago. I was a bouncer at a pub. He saw me, and he saw dolla' signs, nothin' more. He got be believing he was lookin' out for his own best interests, but he was only lookin' to line his own pockets. As of January 2008, he and I are no longer in a workin' capacity. PERIOD.

So what about this rumblings about you being in jail before you became a wrestler?

I'm not ashamed ta' say it. I did an 8 year bid out of 15. I was charged with stuff I'd rather not mention. But I did my time, and I've moved on.

So what about the apology you gave Chris Hevessey at March Madness? I mean, you almost ended his career. His life even.

Like I said, I did what I was told to do by Dane. It could have been anyone. It just so happened to be Chris. I've made a lotta mistakes in my life. And listening to Dane was one of them. I knew he wanted a fight, and I gave him one. And even though I won, I hope it's given me and Chris some form of closure. I've got no issue with the man, and I only hope the same can be said with him. I'm not askin' for his forgiveness. I don't deserve it. But what was done is done.

Fabiola nods, as Steven's words seemed to be sincere. She even seemed surprised that he was actually an articulate man despite his menacing appearance.

What's your plans now that you're on your won in XWA?

Simple. Proving without a doubt that I AM the Giant of XWA. No...the INDUSTRY. There are plenty of big men in this company, and abroad. But there are very...VERY few men who are giants. What you see before you is a 7'2", 400 pound TITAN, who's hungry to be known as more then just dumb muscle. Because those days are long gone. When all is said and done, my name will shake the heavens, and move mountains. I WILL be "The Giant of Giants".

Just as Higby finishes, another superstars steps in with some hoice words to say...

It was the brash Damage Inc. member Randall Reigns. Despite LITERALLY being half the size of Higby, Randall interrupts the interview. He says a few words as he repositions Fabiola's arm so that she held the mic to him.

BLAAAAAAAAH BLAAAAAAAH BLAAAAAAAAAAH!!! "I want to make a change". "I hope the match gave us closure". Gimme a damn break. Sounds to me like the famed and feared "Colossus" has turned in to colossal CREAMPUFF!!! Look at you? A 400 pound chump. Just listening to this is making me wanna puke. Chris Hevessey must be some kind of sucker if he let YOU beat him at March Madness. I bet I could take you in no time flat. No...I KNOW I can take you. I may be known as "The Pheonom", but I'm also known as another nickname. GIANT SLAYER. I've beaten more big men in my career then I can count. I've been one of the smallest guys in every company I've worked for, but STILL I come out on top.

With the cocky smirk signature of Damage Inc. members, Randall continues on.

What a freaking waste of talent. You talk about how that Dane dude was just using you? At least when he was you actually had something going. Maybe you should have stayed the dumb muscle you were last year. At least people would have gave a crap. Heheheh.

Looking quite satisfied with himself, Randall waits for Steven's reaction.

*With Permission*

Higby sees total red in the brash words of Reigns. The button in the back of his head clicks, and he immediately switches into the Colossus he'd been known to be. Fabiola ducks out of the way as Higby's massive arm flies at Reigns. He clasps his massive hand around Randall's neck, forcing him up against a near by wall as he speaks.

Giant Slayer??? Ya' don't say? Then let's see just how good you are, mate. YOU AND ME. TONIGHT!!! You just signed ya' own bloody DEATH WARRANT ya' twit. You wanna see me at my worst? You've GOT IT.

With a heaving thrust, He shoves Randall to the floor with ease. Look down on the man with scowl on his face, Higby walks away from the scenes.

Randall picks himself up off the floor and fixes himself up. Fabiola stood by, giggling and what a boneheaded move he just did.

The hell are you laughin' at???

The fact that you just stepped out of the frying pan and into the PRESSURE COOKER.

Randall smirks as he responds.

Yea...right. Like that scares me. Like I said, I've kicked the asses of plenty of bigger guys in the past. He's gonna be no different. Just you watch and see.

The brash and confident Reigns steps away, seemingly to get ready for war. The scene cuts to the next scheduled match.

The End.
