No threat.

The screen fades in from black, showing Gene Okerlund standing in the center of the locker room, holding a microphone at his midsection. He takes a brief pause before lifting the microphone near his lips.

Gene Okerlund: "Ladies and gentlemen, joining me at this time is UCW newcomer, -- Collin Carter."

He pauses again, lowering the microphone as he looks to his left. Collin Carter slowly makes his way into the camera view, looking straight into it. Carter looks at Gene for a moment, flaring his nostrils at him for a second.

Gene Okerlund: "Well, Mister Carter, let me be the first to say, welcome to UCW. --- I'm sure you'll make a great addition to the show. --- Social media has already been buzzing about your debut all day -- Do you have anything you'd like to say to the UCW fans?"

Gene subtly tilts the microphone toward Collin, giving him a chance to respond.

Collin Carter: "Anything I'd like to say..? Looking around the locker room here at UCW, Gene, there really isn't anything that I have to say -- My actions will speak for me. --- Among the other wrestlers here at UCW,
I have nobody to fear -- I have no threats. --- Quite frankly, I'm more threatened by you than I am by any of the others in the roster. ---"

Gene lowers an eyebrow, tilting the microphone back to himself.

Gene Okerlund: "I'm not quite sure if that was a compliment -- or what it was, but -- Now, why is it that you decided to come to UCW, Carter?"

Carter shrugs, looking at Gene for a moment, then into the camera. Gene tilts the microphone back to Carter,
giving him a chance to respond again.

Collin Carter: "I came here to UCW because it just happened to be the first opportunity that crossed my path -- and if life gives you lemons, well you make some nice, sour lemonade, Gene. -- And I'm here to turn my opponents into pulp, then drink every last drop of that lemonade. --- I'm going to walk right through each and every member of the roster that I have to in order to capture title after title, -- accomplishment after accomplishment, -- championship after championship. I'm here to bring pain, make a name for myself, make money, and capture gold, Gene, --- And if that's not what it's all about for every single damn person in this business, I don't know what they're here for.."

Gene nods, raising an eyebrow to Collin as he tilts the microphone back to himself.

Gene Okerlund: "Very powerful words, Mister Carter --- Now, lastly, do you have anything you'd like to say directly to the rest of the wrestlers in the locker room?"

Gene tilts the microphone back over to Collin again.

Collin Carter: "Sure. I'll keep it short and sweet. Stay out of my way, or you're going to get hurt. Simple as that."

Gene moves the microphone back to himself as the camera pans over to focus on him.

Gene Okerlund: "Well, I wouldn't wanna be the guy who faces you, Mister Carter --- Thank you for your time.
--- Back to the action."

The camera fades to black.
