TMV, the internet's premiere Vernon Vanderbilt-related news and gossip site, caught up with their patron saint Thursday evening after his flight. They posted an exclusive video clip in which “Mister Mercy” expounded on several topics related to his appearance at the upcoming UGZ Neewollah show this weekend.

Vernon Vanderbilt is just departing the baggage claim area, dressed in a low-key ensemble of black jeans, a Deafheaven t-shirt, black scarf, black knit beanie, and glittery, black shades. The TMV reporter approaches, camera in hand. Vernon cocks his head and greets him with a half-smile.
Paparazzo: Vernon! You just arriving for the big show this weekend?
Vernon: Why else would I be here, darling?
Paparazzo: Are you excited to be making your debut for Underground Zero on your birthday? And happy early birthday, by the way.
Vernon: Thank you. I'm always excited when I get to inflict pain for cash, love.
Paparazzo: You really laid a beating on Jennifer Fuller a few weeks ago.
Vernon: Who?
Paparazzo: Jennifer Fuller? The wrestler you attacked? Apparently she still hasn't been cleared to fight.
Vernon: Oh, she had a name? That's novel.
Paparazzo: She was supposed to be your first opponent, but now she's been replaced with Ryan Gaines.
Vernon: Ryan Gaines, you say?
Paparazzo: Yup.
Vernon: And? Who is that?
Paparazzo: Star athlete in multiple sports, all-American, former MLB draft pick-
Vernon: MLB?
Paparazzo: Major League Baseball.
Vernon: Baseball? Even baseball fans don't like baseball. Boring.
Paparazzo: Rumor has it he's a little disappointed that you haven't made a statement about your match yet.
Vernon: Everyone wants their name on my lips. This is nothing new. Why would I have anything to say about Ryan Gaines?
Paparazzo: Well, you'll be fighting him in a couple of days.
Vernon: Here's what I can tell you about Ryan Gaines, old chum. I'm going to defeat him. I mean, that's a given, is it not?
Paparazzo: Well-
Vernon: It is. I hope his health insurance is paid up, because the bills will start piling up shortly. He's just an appetizer, darling, barely worth a moment's thought.
Paparazzo: He is a great athlete, though. He could be a challenge.
Vernon: How many sports did you say he played again?
Paparazzo: Ummmm...multiple.
Vernon: Multiple. Do you know how many sports I've played?
Paparazzo: How many?
Vernon: One. I have always and only ever been a professional wrestler. It's the only sport that matters, and the only one I give a damn about. The only balls I need are the perfectly-proportioned and impeccably-groomed pair I carry with me at all times. I'm an inherently-superior being without props, without bells and whistles. I am the master of flash and panache. Mr. Showtime, The Furnace of Fabulosity, Vernon Vivisection, Nocturne, The Ace of Spades, The Supreme Emperor of the Universe and Your Favorite Wrestler, Mister Mercy himself...under any name, I am the greatest and most entertaining athlete on the face of the planet and in the eyes of the entire Universe. I don't need a fight song; I am a fight song. What is a Ryan Gaines to the likes of me?
Paparazzo: Point taken.
Vernon: Yes, I'm sure.
Paparazzo: So, what comes after Gaines, then? Do you have your eye on anyone?
Vernon cocks his head and lowers his sunglasses for a brief moment.
Vernon: Maybe.
Paparazzo: Care to elaborate?
Vernon: No. Not yet. Watch Neewollah and perhaps I may tip my hand, as it were. Let's just say that one condition of my agreeing to sign on with UGZ is that I get my pick of opponents, and I just might have the perfect competitor in mind.
Paparazzo: Not gonna throw us a bone, then?
Vernon strokes his chin as he obviously gives the reporter a once-over.
Vernon: No, you can't have my bone. Check out the show if you want to learn anything more. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to. Ciao for now, kid.
Paparazzo: But-
Vernon silences him with a dismissive wave.
Vernon: Neewollah. Mercy will reign this weekend. That is all.
He exits the airport, leaving the would-be journalist behind.
