Wcw Saturday Night comes back from commercials and is taken straight somewhere backstage where we find a bald little man by the name of Scott Hudson pottering around gripping his microphone tightly to his chest like some kind of shield, maybe it makes him feel safer. He seems to be walking with intention, almost like he knows where he's going for once, he continues his epic adventure through the corridors constantly being followed by the cameras. He keeps going for a bit before stopping at a large blue locker room door, the camera is at the wrong height to see the name plate.
Hudson knocks loudly on the door and puts his ear to the door to see if there is anyone in there, keeping his ear on the door he knocks again. This time however, the door slowly opens and the hulking figure of Rampage Jackson emerges. Hudson doesn't realise this and goes to knock again but instead of hitting the door he hits Rampage on the chest, startled by this Hudson jumps back and looks up to see Rampage standing in the door way with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
Hudson: Umm...Rampage...Could we get a few words with you about your match tonight?
Rampage: I guess I could spare some time for you, even though you did just punch me in the chest.
Rampage takes a step to the side and offers Hudson entry into his locker room. Hudson seems nervous and slowly walks in, for some reason Scott doesn't seem to trust Rampage much. After Scott walks into the locker room Rampage turns his attention to the camera man and offers him entry as well. The camera man seems less worried and strolls in quite happily. Rampage takes a seat on the bench and motions for Hudson to sit down as well, Scott does as he is told to with a look of fear on his face, all the time Rampage is smiling quite happily.
Welcome to my locker room...It's really not as interesting as people may think it is...People seem to think fighters locker rooms are full of cool things, unless your idea of cool is a bench and a couple of lockers and possibly a shower if your lucky...Then sorry folks this isn't the place for you...Hell I don't even a shower in this room hah!
Uhh...Rampage...Tonight you go toe to toe with a man who is a member of one of the greatest wrestling families of all time, you seem very calm and collected considering he has a very different style to yours that you aren't very familliar with...Do you have any doubts going into this match tonight?
The only doubts I'm having right now...Is you...I'm doubting that you've ever seen any of my matches before. Infact let me ask you a question.
Ok.
Have you ever seen any of my matches?
I saw you fight back in 2001 with Daijiro Matsui.
Rampage looks shocked and almost offended at the answer. But alas, he still continues to smile.
Ok...That fight doesn't count...I had something in my eye, it was an accident hah...But seriously now, I have absolutly no doubts going into my match tonight. Yes everyone keeps telling me that this isn't PRIDE or UFC and thats its wrestling...Well I think all those people have forgotten that I'm not primarily a fist fighter, sure I understand that my preferred style probably wont help me alot here but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna use it. And like I said I have more than one style, I can grapple and slam just as good as Teddy if not better than him!
Well there are many people who can't wait to see you in the ring tonight. But one question thats on everyones mind right now...Is what made you decide to come to professional wrestling, you won the Light Heavyweight Title in UFC just last week and instead of focusing on that side of things you jump to wrestling, what sparked that change?
Don't get me wrong, UFC is great, I love it there...And although I'm not one of the most popular guys over there right now because I beat Chuck, I'm still gonna fight there no matter what...Hell I've got a title over there for crying out loud hah. But yeah, what sparked the change...I guess it's always kind of been a dream of mine, like most kids I grew up watching wrestling and always thought "wow that'd be cool to be able to do that" but like most of those kids I ended up else where, but luckily for me my line of work meant I could easily get in contact with wrestling promoters and staff, which is when I started to talking to the WCW president, Eric Bishoff I think, I dont know...And we got talking and he gave me the oppotunity to come and do some low card matches, kind of a way to publicise the UFC and make people aware that there is more than just wrestling out there...Hah that and he has some people he wants "sorted out" so he hired me knowing that I'd get the job done for him.
You seem to play the role as the hired hitman alot lately, Danna White, the president of the UFC, apperently hired you from PRIDE simply to dethrone Chuck Liddell...Is this true?
The hired hitman? What can I say, these people obviously know talent when they see it...As for me being hired simply to beat Chuck, thats a subject that I personally choose not to discuss.
Well Rampage thank you for your time...We look forward to seeing you in action later tonight.
No problem dude, feel free to come back whenever you want...I'm always up for a chat.
I'll be sure to come back later...Until then its back to you guys at ring side.
With this Hudson points at the camera...Rampage see's this and mockingly points at the camera as well with big wide eyes and a goofy grin...Hudson see's this and the two laugh to eachother as the camera goes back to ring side.
