{Off the heels, no pun intended, of an exciting and controversial Monday Night Fights, Bill is back with another edition of his awesome show.}
Bill: Welcome to Late night with Bill McNeil. Tonight’s guest is one of the fastest rising superstars in the NAPW...Evan Cartwright
{Evan Cartwright decked out in a Hugo Boss suit and sporting some nice Italian loafers walks on to the stage, then takes a seat. }
Evan: Thank you, Mr. McNeil.
Bill: Before we go into the crazy events of last night, the fans would like to know how you broke into wrestling.
Evan: My bio on NAPW.ca gives a more detailed account of how and why that happened, but I'll be happy to elaborate on that. I started at the School of Hard Knocks in East Saint Louis. I literally got pounded into a bloody pulp for a year before I learned the finer points of the sport. My background in boxing and judo has helped in regards to the discipline aspect of it. I then began touring in Japan, Latin America, and Europe for over 3 years.
Bill: Boxing and Judo? You are a perfect fit for the Rat Pack with their diverse backgrounds. That leads to this question...Why join the Rat Pack?
Evan: Chris Casino has been a friend and confidant since we began touring the world circuit. We fought and gained one another's respect before deciding that an alliance of our two talents would be more profitable whenever we found one another in a particular promotion. As luck would have it, Casino pointed Terry Brandon in my direction and brought me here to be the quasi-enforcer of his new stable. Thus was born the Rat Pack, albeit I'm not crazy about the name--but who cares what name we go by, we will always be a dominating force of elite masterminds.
Bill: Masterminds indeed. Now last night at Monday Night Fights you were viciously assaulted by Maniac...a guy that said he too good to be live on my show.. what are your thoughts on him?
Evan: The man is full of himself and no doubt suffers from delusions-de-grandeur. I don't like him, for obvious reasons. What I do like is the fact that he dismisses me as just another flunky--a stepping stone on his path to Chris and the NAPW title. I like that he thinks I am some greenhorn punk who he can kick around like many of his previous opponents. The man who underestimates me will soon find himself in a world of hurt and torment. Maniac is not the only crazy, unpredictable SOB in this town, and he will soon find out just how crazy Evan Cartwright can get when properly motivated.
Bill: I have to admit I liked him at first, but after he refused to show up here, and the despicable actions last night trying to maim you, he is my least favorite guy right now. Only one I hate worse is that arrogant D!. What did you think of his return?
Evan: Better late than never? Hah. Sad that he had to lick his wounds for what was it, 3 weeks, before he found the intestinal fortitude to return and attack the NAPW Champion. Or maybe, just maybe, he's smarter than I'm giving him credit for. I can hear the tension from Ravager's voice when he disdainfully refers to D!. Guys like Ravager fight injured and do all the hard work only for guys like D! to swoop in and claim the glory. I can understand Ravager's point of view about this, and it too sickens me. I am from a blue-collar background in a dying town, I always champion the hard working man above the man who gets it all handed to him.
Bill: I totally agree with you there... Now I checked out NAPW.ca and the rankings didn't say Evan Cartwright anywhere. What are your thoughts on the politics trying to hold you down?
Evan: I'm not a politician, so I could care less. My management will handle those details while I focus on doing my job. I'm in no hurry to win gold, because I know I can do it whenever I set my mind to it. I guess you could say I should probably pay my dues some before I start getting title shots. I know I can easily demand one, but I choose not to. If I have to prove my worth without the help and influence of my stable mates or manager, then so be it. I fear nothing. Of course, it's nice to have the insurance policy that I have in the Rat Pack, but I like knowing I have that ace up my sleeve rather than pulling said card.
Bill: I know you are a very busy young man, so one final question. Any particular guy you'd like to wrestle this coming week, to maybe prove that you should be tops in those rankings or would you like a re-match with Maniac?
Evan: I would like to settle my differences with Maniac, but frankly, that can wait as well. While I'm in no hurry to speed up the rankings, I know for a fact I can beat any one of those men ranked under the Provisional Champion, The Minstrel. I like doing things the old-fashioned way and climb the ladder from the bottom up. If Predator truly thinks he deserves to be ranked #5, then he can prove it by pinning my shoulders to the mat for 3. I honestly don't think he can do it. Ravager, while I respect his work ethic and such, I would not hesitate to topple him from his spot. Hell, beating a former Provincial Champion would be a nice way to move up in the ranks. Not that I'm preoccupied with that, but it would be a nice fitting turn of events after what happened this week.
Bill: Well I'm looking forward to you wearing gold, whenever you choose to go after it. Thanks for being a very great guest. Your welcome back anytime.
Evan: The pleasure was all mine. Thank you.
Bill: Thanks for watching the show, that’s all the time we have. Goodnight Edmonton.
