PCW YouTube: Interview with Magnum Phillips

PCW YouTube - Interview with Magnum Phillips

The video starts with the PCW logo, which quickly fades into an image of backstage interviewer Keith Hypeman.

Hypeman: Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into this special edition interview here on our PCW YouTube channel. Today I'm standing by here with a man who's made a big impact since debuting here in PCW several weeks ago... Magnum Phillips.

The camera pans out and we see Phillips standing next to Hypeman. The Texan wears rugged dark jeans with a huge beltbuckle and work boots, with a black tank top. His grizzled jaw moves up and down as he chews on his tobacco.

Hypeman: Magnum, it was a busy week for you on Onslaught. You had a match against Hiroshi Sato, had an... encounter... with The Buck, and then were challenged to a match at Oblivion by your fellow rookie, Orion Bishop. Can I get your thoughts on all that happened?

Magnum's triceps muscles twitch menacingly as Hypeman looks toward him.

Magnum: Good to see you again Keith. I remember we had a lot of fun at our last meeting...

Magnum spits some of his chew out on the ground at Hypeman's feet and gives a low, raspy cackle, and Hypeman's nervous face shows he clearly remembers the last time he was this close to the big Texan.

Magnum: Yeah, I'll talk a bit. Why the hell not. Let's start with The Buck. Not much to tell about him really, I whooped his ass right in the center of the ring because I felt like it. Plain and simple. If those guys in the back didn't like it, then maybe my message got through to them after all: I'm not the kind of guy you want to ignore.

Keith Hypeman: But why Buck? Why bring in someone who hadn't even stood in a wrestling ring in seven years to make that point?

Magnum: Why not? Listen Keith, you're looking for some deep significance or some bullshit where there ain't any. I beat down that washed up sack of cow pies because I felt like it, nothing more, nothing less. If I can direct my beatings at legends, all the better for me, but I'd have been just as satisfied whooping your ass out there as I was whooping his. You'll notice I don't discriminate in my ass kickings, Keith. I'm an equal opportunity ass-kicker. I even beat up the Chinese guy this week.

Hypeman shifts a bit in his spot, clearly uncomfortable in this interview.

Keith: Right... well, what do you have to say about Orion Bishop?

Magnum spits out another wad of chew and gruffly responds:

Magnum: What's there to say?

Keith: Well... he DID challenge you to a match at Oblivion, and he DID eliminate you from the Escalation match, so I just figured that--

Magnum: Oh, you just figured, eh? Listen here Keith, you leave the figuring up to me and you just stand there and hold your little sound stick like a good boy while I tell you exactly what I think about Orion Bishop.

Hypeman shuts up, and Magnum stares into the camera.

Magnum: Ok Orion. You wanna play tough? Good for you, you threw me over the top rope at Escalation while I was focused on kicking the asses of four other guys. Really tough, man. Let's not forget who knocked who unconscious a few weeks back on Onslaught right in the middle of that ring...

Magnum pauses for a second, as if to let the point seep in.

Magnum: That being said, you want a match with Magnum Phillips at Oblivion? You got it. I've never turned down a challenge in my life, and I'll be damned if I do it now. Seems to me you're just a little ticked off that you're not the toughest SOB to enter PCW this year, and you want to make a name for yourself by taking down the big man on campus. Well let me tell you something Orion, I'll make a name for you alright. But I can't guarantee you're gonna like it.

Magnum glares down at Hypeman for a second, then walks away brusquely.
