The Scene opens to a newly remodeled UWA television studio
The are two easy chairs separated by a small table with two glasses of water
The television set, that of a typical living room, looks as if it came from a small home
Trent Hoffman, dressed in a UWA polo and khakis, is sitting in one chair, while the other one remains empty
Trent - Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to this special interview here at the newly remodeled UWA Television Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana. Today we have quite a treat. The UWA Hardcore Champion, Smokin' Joe Seward will be joining us shortly.
Trent takes a sip from one of the glasses of water
He returns it to the table
Trent - Since February Fallout, Smokin' Joe Seward has been the sole holder of the UWA Hardcore Title. With an extremely large fan base, Joe Seward has become a household name among UWA fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike. After some scheduling difficulties, I am quite pleased to announce the UWA Hardcore Champion himself, Smokin' Joe Seward.

A cigar hangs out his mouth
Trent - Hello Joe.
Joe - Hi ya Trent!
Trent and Joe shake hands before taking their seats
Joe sets his cigar in a small ash tray on the table
Trent - First off, welcome Joe! I know we had some trouble getting you in, but after talking with your manager, Todd, we finally got you here!
Joe - Yeah, I tell ya, it be pretty crazy there for a while. Heck, I don't know what ta do some of them days.
Trent - Let's talk about that for a second. You and I both know, the UWA is coming off a rough week.
Joe - Right.
Trent - I what ways.....or rather.....how has this affected you?
Joe - This last week here?
Trent - Yeah.
Joe - It has thrown my schedulin' way off. Ya see, my manger, Todd, he does somethin or another at them head offices. When things get crazy in the UWA, he usually has ta go and take off. That means, I gots ta tag along because the UWA likes ta have managers and wrastlers together as much as possible.
Trent - For public and efficiency reasons, yes.
Joe - And, I ain't had as much ring trainin' time as I normally get.
Trent - A lot of UWA superstars have missed ring time due to these recent difficulties. Would you say youre worried about the future of the UWA based on these recent complexities?
Joe - Naw, I mean, this is all gonna blow over. We gots fans, managers, and even a couple wrastlers who jumped ship. I say let em! The thing is now Trent, when these other yahoos take off for different promotions, some dudes in the UWA just work harder, and some step up ta the plate. Id bet my cigar collection, the UWA won't budge from its dominance. There be enough talent here to keep her goin'!
Trent - I'm positive youre not alone in the view point Joe.
Joe takes a puff from his cigar
Trent takes a sip of water
Trent - What kind of cigar is that?
Joe - This be a genuine Feuente Short Story.
Trent - Never had one.
Joe - Should try one! Theyre alright.
Joe sets his cigar back in the ash tray
Trent - Now Joe, let's talk about the UWA Hardcore Title.
Joe - Whatever ya wanna know now, just fire away!
Trent - Your match against Judas Auslander at "Injustice For All." Are you ready?
Joe - I think so. I'd like a little more practice time, but, all in all, I do think Im gonna give Judas a run for his money.
Trent - Judas is....how should I say.....mean, almost crude. He has some issues with the UWA and usually swears like a sailor. He has been around a long time and he continues to remain one of the biggest loose cannons in the history of the UWA. Are you, Joe, in any shape, affected by this?
Joe - Yes and no. I do think I can handle him, and I know, I know, I can give him one heck of a fight. But his temper and them damn Kovenant buddies worry me a little bit. At "Injustice For All", I'll need ta be on top of my game.
Trent - I think there is a level of respect between you and Judas sometimes. What would you say?
Joe - Again, Trent, yeah and then no. I think Judas respects the fact ol' Joe gots what it takes ta win. At the same time, I think he would like at see me fall pretty darn hard at "Injustice For All."
Joe takes a puff form his cigar
Joe - As for me respectin' him, I do. I admire the fact he been all over this business and he gots talent. At the same time, I lose some of that respect when his ski masked buddies come out and help him put me through a frikin' fire table.
Trent - And the cigar explosion to the face!?
Joe - Yeah! I wanted to knock his block off after that! But, still, I gots respect for Judas. I think, win or lose, it will be one for the history books!
Trent - And so, Judas versus Smokin' Joe Seward for the UWA Hardcore Championship, at "Injustice For All," which all happens on Pay Per View, the night of July fifth, two-thousand and three.
Joe - Sounds right ta me.
Trent - Thanks for joining me Joe. I'm glad we got you here!
Joe - No problem Trent. Ya just call me any ol' time now!
Trent - Well, for the UWA Hardcore Champion, Smokin' Joe Seward, I'm Trent Hoffman. See you next time on UWA Television.
