El Muchacho, a modern wrestler, sits on a trainer’s bench while his Trainers surround him. El Muchacho sits with his head in his hands, breathing heavily, getting mentally pumped up.
T1: You’ve been training for this fight since you were born! Only one wrestler stands in your way now! Are you ready?! It’s time to kill El Muchacho!
T3: To kill!
T2: You’ve been training how many days, hours, minutes for this day!?
T3: Too long!
T1: Damn straight! And what are you here to do El Muchacho!?
T3: Kill!
T2: That’s right! You don’t want to let all your fans down, do you!?
T3: Hell no!
T2: That’s why you’re going to do what!?
T3: Kill!
T1: Do you hear all those people out there El Muchacho?! They’re here for you El Muchacho! For you! Don’t let them down! Are you ready!?
T2: Are you ready El Muchacho!?
T3: To taste blood El Muchacho!?
T1: Are you ready!
They all stand over El Muchacho as he breathes heavier and harder, pumping up.
Muchacho: (roars) Let do this!
T1: Alright!
Trainers erupt into a frenzy of excitement and aggression. El Muchacho hops off the bench and onto his feet, but falls flat onto the floor. Everyone pauses and falls silent looking down at him.
El Muchacho looks up, and starts crying. He curls into a ball and holds his knee.
T1: No! El Muchacho! You have a fight! Get up you baby!
T2: C’mon Muchacho, let’s go!
T3: Yeah you baby! Let’s go!
El Muchacho hears Trainer 3 say this close to him, gets enraged, gets up and roars, then chases the fleeing Trainer 3 off scene.
T1/T3: El Muchacho! No!
Other two trainers chase behind.
