{The camera cuts backstage where Tiffany Jones is standing with Ryan Shane. He is sporting his new "Just Ask" T-shirt and has the Man of Steel title draped over his left shoulder.}
Tiffany Jones: Terri and Vasco, I'm here with our Man of Steel champion Ryan Shane. Ryan, the past couple of weeks have pretty rough on you. How are you feeling?
Ryan Shane: To be honest Tiffany I'm pretty beat up. I hurt in places I didn't know could hurt. But if you want to know how I'm feeling? I'm feeling great! I still have my Man of Steel title, life is good.
Tiffany Jones: Now Ryan… We have to discuss this issue that is on everybody’s minds. What is going with Addisyn Starr? Why is she issuing these vicious attacks against you?
{All Ryan can do is smile at the mention of Addisyn Starr.}
Ryan Shane: I think it’s pretty obvious, she wants her thug to take my Man of Steel title. I'm getting used to having this target on my back. I don't know what her deal is. I'm not sure how she can even claim to compete in the men's division. I understand being Man of Steel champion is a big deal, something to strive for. I don't blame her for wanting to win it. I just want her to know that she can have Steel O'Buffington attack me every week. I won't be bullied into giving her a title shot. That's not how it works with me. If she wants a title shot there is only one thing she has to do!
{He points at his shirt and you can hear the crowd say "Just Ask".}
Tiffany Jones: Ryan, you've been making a name for yourself ever since you've become Man of Steel champion. You said you had a target on your back. How does that make you feel?
Ryan Shane: I busted my ass for this title. I was given an opportunity and I've ran with it. When I won this title people said it was a fluke. When I retained against Zasshu I proved that I was deserving of the honor of holding this championship. People are always going to want to best a champion. Is Addisyn Starr deserve a shot? Hell no! That didn't stop JFK from asking for one. Addisyn is buying into her own hype. I think she is biting off more than she can chew.
{Tiffany Jones is suddenly interrupted when Addisyn Starr walks onto screen from the off camera area. Tiffany and Ryan stare at her as she seems awfully pleased with herself. Oddly missing from the scene is one Steel O’Buffington.}
Tiffany Jones: Addisyn Starr? What are you doing here interrupting my interview with Ryan Shane?
Ryan Shane: Better yet, where is Steel? I thought he was like your own personal American Express card, you never leave home without him.
Addisyn Starr: I figured you were safe enough, I didn’t need my body guard for a this.
Ryan Shane: So what do I owe the pleasure?
Addisyn Starr: I was listening to you and I figured I should come down and tell you to stop being so naive Ryan. Nobody cares about ladders and climbing them anymore, it’s not about paying your dues, it’s about the amount of money you can make the company, how many viewers you can bring in… and that Ryan, isn’t you. I am the future of IWF, they want me to be the champion, they want more ticket sales… something you can’t give them.
Ryan Shane: I think the fans would disagree with you. I'm proof that hard work pays off. Unlike yourself I haven't tried to gain success by riding the coattails of other. I've earned the right to be called Man of Steel champion.
Addisyn Starr: Silly… silly Ryan...
{Addisyn steps in closer to Ryan completely in his personal space as she places her hand on his cheek and pets him softly before pulling away sharply, bringing her nails across his face and leaving three small cuts across his cheek from her nails. Ryan pulls back and angrily glares at her as she begins laughing at him.}
Addisyn Starr: Come on… is that all you got? You wonder why I’m leap frogging straight up to being the Woman of Steel champion? Why I’m going to take your spot very soon? Because of this… come on, I just embarrassed you on live TV, do something about it. You can’t can you?
Ryan Shane: I don't know what kind of game you're trying to play but I assure you that it isn't going to work. I refuse...
Addisyn Starr: Refuse to what!? Be a man, defend your own honor from a small, weak little woman? Or are you just chicken **bleep**, too afraid to act, too afraid to get your delicate little hands dirty?
{Ryan Shane angrily steps towards Addisyn who just keeps smiling at him as his face begins to glow red with anger towards this blonde standing in front of him. Ryan grits his teeth and is about to say something but is cut off by Starr.}
Addisyn Starr: You want to hit me don’t you? Why don’t you just do it? Nobody is going to think less of you, I’ve attacked you two weeks in a row and I interrupted your interview to insult your manhood. Why don’t you just reach back and let me have it, I mean if you value your reputation you probably should…
{Ryan lifts his hand, but not in a motion to strike Addisyn, but instead he puts his index finger into her collar bone. Ryan goes to say something but once again is cut off, but this time it’s by a swift kick to his “junk” from Addisyn that is the interruption. Ryan grunts in pain as he falls to his knees grimacing. Addisyn however seems very please with herself.}
Addisyn Starr: ...before I do. **laughs** You’re pathetic, how can you call yourself a “man” of Steel when you can’t even stop me from totally showing you up on live TV? Your little “belt” is as good as mine.
{Addisyn makes the belt motion with her hands across her waist as she walks backwards off screen. The interviewer checks on Shane who is breathing heavily with a mixtue of anger and pain written across his face, while we fade out.}
