The following footage was recorded earlier today, prior to the show beginning and airs before his match later in the evening.
The camera fades-in to show the outside of the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. It is a huge arena, which is just about the right size for any Bad Blood Wrestling show, let alone one that is hosting the beginning of The Sanguine Invitational tournament. A man steps-out of the arena and approaches the camera. It isn't until the man takes off his shades that he is recognisable.
It is The Extraordinary Englishman, Cartwright. He smiles and winks into the camera, knowing that the BBW fans are eager to hear more from him following his appearance in the BBW Headquarters Gym for the Holiday Exhibition Show, held in December last year. Cartwright hangs the shades from his top as he prepares to address the camera.
Cartwright: "You know, I never planned to cause such a social media storm last month?! Honestly! I was feeling rather rusty after so long away from the wrestling business and wanted to see if I still had it in me to put on a top quality wrestling match with anyone! I left the exhibition match feeling pretty fired-up for more, that's for sure! That Salem, your Seasons Champion, is a right c**t! Maybe it was him showing up, maybe I'm a bigger deal than I thought I was, but whatever the answer is, the BBW higher-ups loved it and wanted everyone to know about it!"
Cartwright notices that fans have spotted him and are making their ways towards him. He doesn't mind that all, he is a man of the people. But what does bother him is when BBW staff and security begin to surround him at the same time. They seem to love making a big deal out of anything Cartwright does, like they did last month.
Cartwright: "I just wanted to tell my fans what was...."
Staff Member Russo: "No, no, no! Don't be silly Cartwright! You are a huge superstar! A veteran! A legendary figure! You don't do that here, where nobody is around and to only one camera! You do it in the arena, surrounded by your adoring fans, who will be hanging on to you every word and where we will get big, BIG ratings for it!"
Cartwright sighs. He is a down-to-Earth and humble man outside of the ring these days. A man who has practically done it all and feuded with all the top wrestlers in the world. He has enjoyed being able to do as he pleases without higher-ups demanding things of him. As soon as they get a whiff of him, they just seem to want more and more.
Cartwright: "Can I at least explain why I was forced away?!"
The staff member chuckles. Clearly, Cartwright isn't getting this modern day era of wrestling, with its constant hyping of everything, everywhere. On that note, the WWE Network is only $9.99 a month.
Staff Member Russo: "Of course you can! You can do it next month, when we will have promoted the Hell out of it THIS show to guarantee that even more people will tune-in to hear what you have got to say and give us even more ratings! I do love me some high ratings!"
Cartwright isn't interested in ratings! All he wants to do is talk to the wrestling fans! He feels like he needs to set the record straight, much like a certain Phil Brooks did on his best mate's Scotty Goldman's podcast. People like those that have now surrounded Cartwright and the BBW Staff.
Crowd: "WE LOVE YOU CARTWRIGHT!"
"WE MISSED YOU CARTWRIGHT!"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, CARTWRIGHT?!"
Cartwright: "Well..."
Russo instantly cuts Cartwright off before he can continue.
Staff Member Russo: "I'm sorry, but Cartwright is not allowed to answer any questions at this time. Cartwright has to enter the arena for a very important meeting in regards to his BBW future!"
Crowd: "BOOOOOO!"
Cartwright: "Wait what...?!"
Before Cartwright can say another word, the BBW Security are dragging him into the arena as flash lights go off. Russo smiles and waves at the various fans, with their mobile phones recording the first Cartwright sighting of 2015 and blowing-up social media yet again as the scene fades-out.
