[Scene: A small, quiet media room where Eddie Kensington, still adapting to his rising popularity, sits in front of a camera. Across from him, a reporter holds a notepad, preparing for the interview. Eddie appears composed but slightly uneasy, clearly uncomfortable with all the recent media attention.]
Reporter: “Eddie, you’ve become a name that’s on everyone’s radar lately. People call you the ‘hometown hero,’ ‘the next big thing in British wrestling.’ And as you head into your semi-final match against Paul ‘Pinfall’ Pete, he’s had some strong words for you.”
[The reporter glances down, reading from her notes.]
Reporter: [quoting Pete’s promo] “He said, ‘All the speed and charisma in the world mean nothing when you’re staring at the lights, Eddie. I don’t care about potential or promise… Tonight, you’re facing a wrestler.’ What do you make of that?”
Eddie Kensington: [pausing, choosing his words carefully] “Honestly, it’s a bit surreal hearing things like that. I’m grateful for all the support I’ve had from everyone back home, but Pete’s right about one thing: once that bell rings, it’s just the two of us in there. None of the hype matters. He’s focused, and he’s coming in with a lot of experience.”
Reporter: [nodding] “He seems determined to make it clear that his experience and his style—his mastery of technique and control—will be the deciding factors in the ring. He called you ‘fast’ and ‘flashy’ but implied that it won’t be enough once he has you in his grip. How do you respond to that?”
Eddie Kensington: [sighing thoughtfully, his voice steady] “Pete’s not wrong about his strengths. He’s been in this sport a long time, and he knows how to control a match. His experience in technical wrestling is something I respect. But I don’t want to just rely on speed or talent. I’ve put in the hours training, learning how to counter his style. I know he’ll try to slow me down, but I’m ready to stay sharp and keep adapting.”
Reporter: “Does it bother you, then, that he’s dismissing the support and excitement around you? He seemed pretty intent on downplaying everything that makes you the fan favorite.”
Eddie Kensington: “A little, yeah. But I get it. He’s not in this for the attention, and honestly, neither am I. I’m still learning and working to improve, and I know I have to earn my place in this sport. If people see potential in me, that’s great, but I’m focused on proving it where it counts—in the ring.”
[The reporter nods, sensing Eddie’s humility and focus as he heads into the biggest match of his career.]
Reporter: “Well, Eddie, I think everyone’s excited to see how this one plays out. Good luck.”
[Eddie nods, still modest but quietly determined.]
