[The typical "Between the Ropes" set is missing. It is a field type interview with Jessica in regular clothes. She has her hair pulled back and she seems to be watching a wrestling ring that is set up for training. The location appears to a training session for the upcoming launch of Revival. Jessica turns to the camera now and she smiles as two men, one of them Mac Bane, trains behind her bouncing off the ropes and working on moves.]
Jessica King: Hello Revival! I am here in the training location to catch up with Macentyre Bane as he trains for the upcoming launch of Resurrection. He is currently training but we will catch up with him in a few minutes.
[The film cuts to Mac and Jessica sitting after what would have been his work out for the day. He looks calm and collected as he sits there on the edge of the ring and Jessica is sitting there on the ring apron beside him.]
Jessica King: Thank you for taking the time to talk to Between the Ropes. I have wanted to get you on here since I heard that you signed a contract. I have followed you since you were in UCWA and the LWA. You are really a veteran and Revival has really struck gold with signing you. Mac, you haven't hit the ropes in a long time, what brings you back to wrestling and more so, Revival?
[Mac flashes that well known smile and tilts the black Stetson back a little so more of his face shows.]
Mac Bane: Well Darlin, I got bored to be real honest about it. Why would this ol boy from South East Texas come out of retirement? ‘cause there is still ass whippin left to do, that’s why!
[Jessica laughs gently as he says that.]
Jessica King: I would say you might be completely right about that.
[Mac shifts a bit and rubs his hand up along his chin gently before dropping his hand and awaiting her next question.]
Jessica King: We are here at where you train and I must say that you seem to have a seriously strict routine on conditioning your body. You seem to be in incredible shape Mac, but Revival fans say that you can't cut it with the young boys, you are out of your league and the dopey Texan image is just that- an image. Is there any truth to that?
[Mac frowns at first but then that smile slowly plays across his lips again as he raises his index finger to his lips and begins tapping it thoughtfully against his bottom lip. He quickly moves it back to his side.]
Mac Bane: As for someone not thinking I can hang with this new generation of wrestler that is coming up…those words were spoken by someone who has never stood across the ring from me. By someone who has no clue what this old man is about. An image? Honey let me tell you about the Mac Bane image, I am who I am. No image, no gimmick no games. What you see is what you get. I’m an 8th generation Texan, who ever goes into Revival thinking that is not only stupid but has a death wish.
Jessica King: I sat down recently with another Revival roster mate and I have to say that it was a tense and uncomfortable interview. I mentioned your name and he has some very serious words for you. John Ojeda has even attacked you via twitter and seems to have you pegged as someone weak. His thoughts have come dangerously close to saying you have not much to offer the Revival nation when it comes to your skills and overall technical presentation. He has discredited you at every opportunity. People are eager to know what you think about John Ojeda's remarks.
[The friendly smile disappears just as quickly as it had appeared, Bane reaches up and pulls the brim of the black Stetson back down low and leans in close to Jessica.]
Mac Bane: You may get turned on by these little cheesy punk ass fetus’ like Ojeda little girl but let me tell you something…..When that little boy steps into the ring with a real man, or an old man as he likes to say. I’ll show that little bitch what hardcore is all about. I am 33 years old, I have seen it all and done it all. I have beat the shit out of the very best this business has to offer. Wrath is not in their class, not even close. Think your hardcore little man, you’ll find out very soon what that word really means….very soon…a lot sooner than you would think and a lot sooner than you are ready for.
Jessica King: I feel a serious rivalry being born here ladies and gentleman. Words are definitely being flung back and forth. A subject that I'm sure we could talk about all day but your time is short. Let's switch tracks here and talk about Revival. You missed the first Revival Era but in the second incarnation, do you have a favorite wrestler?
[Bane chuckles softly at Jessica and nods.]
Mac Bane: That I do, she has been my favorite wrestler for quite some time actually. If there was such a thing as a female version of me it would be her. But the answer to your question might surprise you. Those who know me know that Holli and I had a moment a few seasons ago but no, my favorite wrestler is Sydney LaRoux. No one else I have ever seen in the ring impresses the way she does.
Jessica King: That is quite a shocker. Sydney LaRoux. She has been quiet as of lately in terms of wrestling but she is certain a veteran of this business and is going to be on Resurrection, right?
Mac Bane: Yes. I think so.
[Jessica smiles at Mac and she nods before shifting a little against the ring apron.]
Jessica King: Speaking of Resurrection, what is it you are looking forward to at Revivals first show?
[Bane appears perplexed at the question but then you can see the light bulb come on and he flashes that smile again. He grows wide eyes like a child almost.]
Mac Bane: Everything! Are you kidding? The fans are gonna go nuts, I’m gonna whip someone’s ass so they can go nuts again! It’ll be more fun than you have ever had in your life Jess!
[Jessica laughs and she blushes slightly at the fact he called her Jess. She looks down to her cards and she sighs softly.]
Jessica King: I have one last question here and I'm almost afraid to ask. I think they set me up to blush with this one. [Nervous chuckling] Ladies want to know, are you currently dating someone special? We know Holli Would used to be a serious flame for you, are you two still together?
[Bane blushes slightly at this question with Holli memories no doubt flooding back, then grabs the tip of his Stetson lowering it back down partially covering his eyes.]
Mac Bane: No ma’am.
[Bane quickly stands unclasping the microphone from his black duster indicating that the interview is now over for him. Jessica King looks embarrassed as she looks to the camera.]
Jessica King: He may be strong, semi silent, and available..but Mac Bane is a force to be reckoned with. Training here and getting ready for Resurrection seems to be the only thing on his mind. Mac Bane also having harsh words for John Ojeda to respond to. Watch will happen when these two men clash? Mayhem. And it will unfold in the coming days leading up to Resurrection! This has been Between the Ropes with Jessica King...
