Our reporter and his blonde companion sit watching basketball at Bazz with Cassandra Lynn Scerbo, Poindexter Del Crunchy, and the Man In The Hat.
Reporter: "So, guys, new signing for GBS..."
Man In The Hat: "I like it. A lot."
Reporter: "She's been on your radar?"
Cassie (smiling): "If there's a girl who's stepped into a boxing ring somewhere in this galaxy in the last three years, she's on Uncle Wiz's radar..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Well. There are some OUTER planets where we might be missin' things, but, here on EARTH anyway, we have our finger on the pulse of women's boxin', yes..."
Reporter: "So, you think Phoebe has potential?"
Man In The Hat: "Absolutely. And, also a BIG opportunity. It's ROUGH in the FCBA for indies. And, there are always far more good fighters than stable spots. Which is why I always say those spots shouldn't be WASTED. To be in a stable, you should either be a fighter who's at championship level NOW or has the potential to develop into a championship level fighter. If not, that spot should go to someone else."
Pointy: "But. That's just WIZARDO'S theory. Other managers have different ideas."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "They do. But, that's the way we operate around here."
Tess: "Let's talk about the VIXENs card..."
Pointy: "I thought you covered that pretty well in your wrap up article."
Reporter: "Do you think Flair beating Ferguson is a huge upset?"
Pointy: "Actually, no, I don't, lad."
Tess: "Really?"
Pointy: "Really. Obviously, Ferguson was the favorite, but, Flair's a Top Ten-level welter who's already beaten Upton, among others. So, yes, she was an underdog, but not a huge one."
Tess: "What do YOU think, Wiz?"
Man In The Hat: "I'm actually somewhere in the middle, but, probably a little closer to Tess. Anytime someone from outside the Group Of Ten beats someone from inside, it's a big upset."
Reporter: "Speaking of upsets, Ronan..."
Cassie: "Uncle Wiz has been WAITING for that question..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Son, who was it that, last Tuesday, told you 'don't sleep on Ronan'?"
Reporter (smiling): "A guy in a funny hat."
Man In The Hat: "That kid can FIGHT. If I had to rank the available free agents, she'd be in the top ten, not just at bantam, but overall. Was it an upset? Sure. Because, it's Watson, a champion who's among the best fighters in the FCBA. But. I'm not SURPRISED Ronan won. I knew she could. Now, let's watch some ball, shall we?"
