Our reporter sits in the Great Room at The Manor sipping cold beverages and watching baseball with Poindexter Del Crunchy and the Man In The Hat.
Reporter: "Shall I stand up and show you my posterior? Because, there's almost none of it left after my editor spent all day yesterday CHEWING IT OFF..."
Pointy (smiling): "Having problems at work, are we?"
Reporter: "You could say that. Since Front Street is my BEAT and I just happened to MISS a huge story..."
Man In The Hat: "Well, I'm not sure if 'huge' is the right word..."
Reporter: "Let's see. Front Street, for the very first time, is going to compete at the Ice Hotel. And, not only compete, compete for the title of QUEEN of the Ice Hotel. Oh. And the girl who's going to do it, Serinda Swan, is the SAME Serinda Swan who'd never lost to a pure model before she was upset twice by Bundchen...the SAME Bundchen who followed those wins up by giving Kerr her FIRST and ONLY loss across FOUR organizations to become Ice Hotel Queen. And, the SAME Bundchen who lost that title to Rohrbach, the SAME Rohrbach who is the current Queen and will, as a result, be fighting SWAN..."
Pointy: "Sounds like the lad has a storyline all picked out here, Wizardo..."
Reporter: "I didn't pick it out, it's OBVIOUS. And, it's a HUGE story for all of those reasons, aside from, you know, the fact that there's a TITLE on the line and Wiz here has said on several occasions that he has little interest in the non-linear titles which, of course, INCLUDE Queen of the Ice Hotel!"
Man In The Hat: "So, you're wondering..."
Reporter: "Why you didn't TELL me, for starters..."
Man In The Hat: "It's not my announcement to make. It's OUR announcement when WE have the title. We do NOT have the title, Los Ingobernales has the title. It's THEIR announcement to make."
Reporter (sighing): "Fine. Then, at least tell me what changed your mind on competing at the Ice Hotel..."
Man In The Hat: "Well, we never ruled out competing there. I never said 'never'. But, to answer your question, Stephanie called and asked if we'd be interested. We discussed possible Front Street fighters who might be a good fit against Rohrbach. We settled on Serinda. And, since Swanny's currently not in the group pushing for the lightweight belts, it's a good fight for her. A win against a fighter like Kelly is valuable in the lightweight rankings. So, even if there was no title involved, we'd be interested in this fight. And, there you are."
Reporter: "So, you're telling me that Stephanie asked and you agreed..."
Man In The Hat: "It wasn't quite that simple, but, boiled down to the basics, yes. We have a good working relationship with Stephanie. She and her management can sit down and talk with me and mine and we can get matches made and make money. When she calls, I take the call. And, I listen with an open mind. That's what happened. And, the result is, we're going to the Ice Hotel for the first time."
Reporter: "I'm surprised..."
Man In The Hat: "So am I. Now, let's watch some baseball, shall we?"
