Saturday 6th July. Boxboro, MA.
We open at Northeast Comic Con. Tomasso Ciampa is sat on stage beside a sign reading
"Tomasso Chiampa - EBWF Wrestler
Q&A - 14:00-14.15
Meet & Greet - 14.15-15.00
(Pre booked time slots only)"
The camera moves to the audience where there are 2 queues of people waiting to pitch there questions
Boy with his father - Hi Tomasso. I'm Gray.
Ciampa: Hello Gray, and hello to the various geeks. Buy a tee shirt.
Tomasso points at his latest tee which shows a pop funko style Ciampa holding a chain with the words CHAINpa Unleashed underneath.
Ciampa: What is your question?
Gray - My favourite wrestler is Braun Strowman. When is he coming back?
Ciampa: Who? You'll have to forgive me. I wrestle for a living but I don't spend my life on YouTube watching obscure matches anymore.
Gray - You beat him in a street fight two weeks ago! By luck. By cheating.
Ciampa: Can't cheat in a street fight. Clue is in the name kid. Sorry, I didn't realise I was in the presence of a wrestling historian. My favourite! I don't recall every match I've been in. The name Strowman sounds sort of familiar but I'm not too worried about my past. It's the future that matters. Next question.
Girl with anime hair - Braun is gonna mess you up. When he comes back.
Ciampa: Are we still on that topic? Okay fine, I shouldn't be the one to announce this but... after King of the Ring... I regret to inform you all. I'm sorry, they did their best but... it turns out... Braun didn't make it. Sorry.
Ciampa laughs then buries his face in his hands pretends to so.
Ciampa: Anybody got a question that doesn't involve Strowman? ... It's too painful
The camera pans over showing majority of the people in the people queuing returning to their seats. One man dressed in Thor cosplay remains in the queue. Ciampa looks up rubs his eyes.
Ciampa: Really?!
"Thor": I got a question! What do you think of your opponent for this week's Warfare, Mike Kanelis?
Ciampa: Tell me Ass Guard, what do you think of him?
"Thor" : I think the power of love is going to conquer you Ciampa.
Ciampa: Of course that is what you think. I tried that for a while. Love? Didn't work for me. You people didn't love me in the past, I tried my best for you people but it wasn't enough. I stopped craving your love and it's worked out well for me. Mike Kanelis is a sap and so is her husband Maria.
"Thor": I think it's a positive message. Not like your brand.
Ciampa: There really is no love for Tommy Ciampa is there? I'm guessing if you don't love me now you will never love me again. Am I right?
"Thor" : Did you seriously quote Fleetwood Mac?
Ciampa: Who? What?
"Thor": The Chain?
Ciampa: You people are seriously obsessed with that one match, aren't you? Yes, I ended Braun Strowman with a chain but I suggest you move on. I know I am going to.
Ciampa leaves the stage and walks out of the room. A guy in a Convention staff tees jumps and the stage.
Staff: On behalf of the convention I would like to apologise to you all. Let me reassure he won't be back next year. Full refunds will be given for this seminar at the main reception area. Once again, our apologies to each of you.
