OOC: No layout because my paint programs don't work sadly otherwise it would be neatly tucked into that, so forgive the plain posting, read and enjoy, I hope! Been a few years since I done this.
A blurry image, likely from an out dated security system brings into focus a larger man, probably just a little under two hundred and eighty pounds. He’s going hard against a huge punching bag with a flurry of right and lefts, throwing in a low kick every few punches, increasing the speed of his barrage every few seconds. The speed and accuracy of his hits not to mention the power should seem well outside of the range of his capabilities. As a few moments pass, a man who is slightly smaller than the one who is vigorously training himself goes over and taps him on the shoulder.
The larger man turns wiping his nose with his arm trying to take care of the sweat run off. He then shrugs it off and follows the man towards a doorway leading to an office area. He goes in and sits in one of the chairs opposite a desk.
: AJ, do you know why I have all of you guys train in such poor conditions, considering the amount of money I’ve made over my years in this business?
The bigger man now identified as AJ Stark scuffs a laugh and smirks slightly with his response.
AJ Stark: Yeah, cause you’re a cheap ass.
The other man whom was sitting in the chair turns it around; smile on his face shaking his head reveals himself to be none other than Lucas Pain, AJ’s mentor.
Lucas Pain: That’s one way to put it, or it could be because I think it’ll keep the lot of you hungry and full of desire, and I do believe I have accomplished that with you. An old buddy of mine hit me up recently, and luckily he’s in need of some real ultimate power, a power I know only one of my guys has…
AJ Stark: I’m flattered Luke, but…
Lucas Pain: So do you happen to have Rivera’s number?
AJ gives almost a slight amused look and rolls his eyes. Lucas smirks and pulls a file out from his desk and he tosses it on the desk.
Lucas Pain: Study it and memorize it, MPW has a Behemoth on the way, you leave tonight at ten.
AJ Stark: Got it, anything else I need to know before I bust some heads?
Lucas Pain: Yeah, AJ try and behave until he tells you otherwise, it could blow a major impact and game changer, anywhere and everywhere you go from here on out, Oh and in two days you’ll film and have a vignette air announcing your arrival as “soon”.
AJ Stark: Alright, but once he opens the door to the cage, he knows I’ll destroy anything or anyone who gets in my cross hairs, right?
Lucas Pain: He asked for you by name after I showed him the files.
AJ smiles sadistically as he picks up the file on the desk and he looks at the cover which features some type of logo that seems inexplicably blurred out. He then slowly gets up and he slowly wakes out of out the office and he walks across the training facility to the trainee locker room where he will collect his stuff, hurry home, gather what he can and dart to the airport where he will finally be on his way to the big time, on his way to break faces and finally get the recognition he deserves.
Backstage moments before the closing of MPW’s grandest pay per view of the year. AJ Stark is standing watching a monitor his towel still around his neck while wearing wind breakers and an MPW t-shirt. A few moments later as the match’s end progress and Madd Katt walks in with a bottle of water, still wearing his suit from earlier when he revealed he was back and now managing AJ. AJ looks over at Madd Katt and he rolls his shoulders.
AJ Stark: I wanted to come in and make a huge impact, not come in and stand like verbally incapable moron in front of two literal jokes that I have to call boss. I should be out there destroying these horrible and poor individuals.
Madd Katt: Listen kid, I know, but you’re going to get your chance, I just got back from the board and they decided that you are now going to face the now former Sin City Champion, and Drake Hunter’s main squeeze, Bliss. She’s a tough customer, and one of the top stars here in MPW, you could easily make an impact on the March 14th Take Down.
AJ Stark: Bliss? I’m fighting a woman?
AJ shakes his head and he runs his hand through his hair as he takes a breath.
AJ Stark: Listen, Madd Katt.
Madd Katt: Call me MK.
AJ Stark: MK, don’t get me wrong, I saw what Bliss is capable of, and she is more than worthy to go down in MPW history as one of the top competitors here in MPW, but do you really want to label her as the stepping stone that was used to show people my superior intellect and destructive power? It hardly seems fair to put me against her in any way shape or form.
Madd Katt: Because she’s a woman?
AJ Stark: No, not exactly, though my own usual code of honor would prevent me from striking down at a woman.
Madd Katt: Apparently, you don’t know Bliss from just watching that one match.
AJ Stark: Why would you even say that?
Madd Katt: AJ, Bliss would easily take what you’re saying and use it against you, take it to her advantage, she would use that and find a way to make you less than you are. She’s as brutal as they come for any type of superstar, man, or woman. AJ you are talented, you are smart, and by far, probably the most destructive force that will ever step into a MPW ring, and that is saying something since we have guys like Kuk Killswitch and TJ Pain.
AJ Stark: You think so? I have that much to worry about with Bliss?
Madd Katt: Definitely, she is cunning, and she is dangerous, that is something you better never over look here in MPW about any opponent that they decide to put you up against.
AJ Stark: Fair enough.
AJ puts his hand to his chin as he looks back at the television monitor and sees the chaos ensue after Drake Hunter has finally captured the MPW World Heavyweight Championship from Ash Soulsfate. He watches as the masked man reveals himself to be Trey Baxter.
AJ Stark: That was…. Surprising.
Madd Katt: And it’s things like this that made me bring you in, everyone’s choosing a side and MPW is the battle ground. I needed the best person I could find to help protect MPW, especially when Johnny Clash has guys like the Age of Arrogance in his back pocket.
AJ Stark: That won’t help Clash much, sure he has champions in his pocket, but I am a beast, a complete behemoth inside the ring, I will not be over looked, and I guess you made it easy, for me to decide, target number one for this so called war, The Age of Arrogance, starting with Bliss, and going up the ranks till I can get my hands on Drake Hunter and knock him down a few pegs.
Madd Katt: Looks, like you have a plan then.
AJ Stark: A plan? No, I work better on the fly, but MPW, more specifically, AoA is in for the war of a life time, whether I have to do it by myself, or I manage to wake up some of those who would be mindlessly dragged into the fires of deceit that AoA and Clash surround them with. It is time for everyone to see what Ultimate Defiance really looks like, what true power, no, what a true warrior looks like.
Madd Katt: That’s exactly what I’m talking about kid, now your head is definitely in the game!
AJ smirks and he places his fist in his open hand and cracks his knuckles as he watches the ending scene for the Road To Glory pay per view go on and Madd Katt sip at his water, the obvious message is here, Stark and Madd Katt plan on changing MPW, by force.
The scene reopens with AJ sitting at a coffee shop, a pit stop on his way to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he would indeed go face to face with the former Sin City Champion, Bliss, who also happened to be a member of The Age of Arrogance, and the current love interest of AJ’s now main target, the new MPW World Heavyweight Champion, Drake Hunter. He sits there wearing a t-shirt that says “Beast Mode” with a switch turned on, and a pair of jeans and etnies skating shoes. He sips his coffee when his phone goes off and he looks at it, a text message from Madd Katt pops up.
”Can’t believe you decided to drive that beat up Chevy all the way to the next show, you sure it’s not going to shit the bed on you? Hate for you not to be here in time to take on Bliss in your debut match.”
AJ Shakes his head and he quickly keys a response back to MK.
”If you keep picking on my 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS when I get to the arena that old beat up Chevy as you call it, I will run you over. I’ll be there and be ready to destroy anyone even Bliss. I’m not taking her lightly anymore, you were right, I was being ridiculous about me not wanting to face her as my first opponent. She’s a hell of a star with the company, and she is part of Age of Arrogance, just think of it as my first step to knocking them all down a peg.”
AJ sips his coffee as he sits watching people eye him, a few of them actually wearing MPW shirts, others probably a little confused as to why he would even be here, he honestly didn’t look like the social type, his rough exterior, and the aura that he gives off that says stay away if you value your life. He takes out a piece of Orbits Mist gum and places it in his mouth and begins chewing it when MK texts back.
”Jeez, no need to get so violent about it, I was just poking fun about the car, but it’s a good thing you’re getting your head in the game about Bliss, can’t have you going in there against her being all ignorant.”
AJ wastes little time as he texts back.
”Ha Ha, don’t you think that was a little puny?”
He gets a text back instantly.
”I like puns, they can be funny.”
AJ closes his eyes and shake his head, putting his hand to his forehead. He sighs and he just puts his phone away.
Female Voice: Mind if I sit with you? All the other tables seem pretty full.
AJ looks up and he notices a gorgeous woman standing there before him.
AJ Stark: Well I guess so, doesn’t bother me any.
She simply smiles and takes the seat across from AJ putting down a book on the table and opening up her coffee and sipping it slightly.
Female Voice: Oh, it’s hot, thank you by the way, I usually come here to read a chapter or two of a good book, by the way, you seem familiar, do I know you?
AJ Stark: I doubt that, you seem very talkative for someone who just comes here to read.
Female Voice: Oh… Um sorry, just don’t usually sit with anyone, and you look, well interesting.
AJ Stark: Sorry, I’m a little high strung, but my names AJ, and you don’t look like the type that watches pro-wrestling, so I don’t think you would know who I am.
Female Voice: Well AJ, my name’s Tricia, and you’d be right, I don’t really watch it on a regular, but my roommate does, she even ordered this pay per view…. Oh wait you were on that last night, right? You didn’t say anything but that guy introduced you. You’re supposed to do something on their next show right?
AJ Stark: Uh, well yeah, I have my first match for that company against a woman named Bliss.
Tricia:: A woman? I guess they see everyone as equals?
AJ Stark: Yeah, and she definitely deserves it, but hey, I’ll do what I have to do to move on and keep my head up. She’s a big star, but I will be a bigger one.
Tricia:: Can I be blunt AJ?
AJ Stark: Sure, let’s hear it.
Tricia:: When I think pro wrestler I think tight, muscled up bodies, tanning oil, and a bad attitude, you don’t seem like the type.
AJ smirks and he shakes his head a little, holding back a chuckle.
AJ Stark: I’ve heard that practically my entire career, you’re not built enough, you don’t have the look, “We don’t think you’re marketable.” Well a lot of that may be true, but I am hungrier, more deserving, and definitely more destructive than anyone else, and I’ll prove it.
Tricia:: I have to say, in the face of advercity, I definitely admire your confidence.
AJ Stark: Well thank you Tricia, and what is it that you do?
Tricia: I um, wait…
The girl looks down at her watch and she starts frantically picking up her stuff.
Tricia: Crap, I didn’t even realize what time it was when I left to come here, I’m going to be late.
Tricia picks up almost everything in her arms, except her book and smiles sweetly at AJ.
Tricia: AJ it was a pleasure to meet you, I’ll be sure to watch with my roommate to see if that confidence gets you your win, thank you for talking to me.
AJ goes to respond but she goes rushing out the door, and he picks up the book and he tries to say something but she’s gone.
AJ Stark: Tricia, your book.
AJ takes a breath and he looks at the book, and he notices the title, Edgar Allen Poe Mysteries. He seems intrigued and he sits back down and opens up to one of the first stories in the book, Pit and The Pendulum. A very true classic, and he looks down and he sips his coffee as he puts his feet up as he seems to get into the book and allows himself a little extra time to rest before he has to go to New Orleans Arena and go face to face with Bliss for his first ever MPW match.
