TGWSteveCanyon - Just watched the True Glory show from backstage. Impressive, but these fans haven't seen anything yet. I slip the blackberry into it's holster and try and shadow my way through the backstage area without running into any of the other talent. The signature on the contract isn't even dry yet, there's no sense risking getting into any trouble with anyone on the roster yet. They'll all have plenty to deal with soon enough.
I hail a cab, and in almost no time I'm on my way back up 5th, into the core and my suite at the Courtyard on Broadway. The breeze through the half-open window is cool, and I can smell the Pacific... but this city lacks the character of home, and I find myself wishing I was back in Manhattan. I lean back in the seat and think of the sounds of the City That Never Sleeps... I try to overlap them in my mind over the relative quiet of a Monday night in San Diego... but they don't come. This place might as well be an alien world to me.
I tip the cabbie a twenty and give the doorman a nod. I'm halfway through the lobby when I feel the Blackberry twick on my hip..TGWwademason - So, Steve Canyon isn't the man I've been on lunches with, but I'm excited to see what he has to offer next week. Great show again tonight. I love it. They have no idea. Sure, they might be talking to some wrestling icon, and they might be prepared to bring him in here and have him make some big splash... but I'm going to spoil the party. None of them know it, but the diamond of True Glory signed his contract tonight. I consider tapping out a message in reply, but instead I point the browser to the TGW website, and find the name of my first victim... Zachary Bryne.
Jesus. They're feeding me children. They really have no idea.. .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........ ......... .......... Every once in a while, this business comes to a turning point. It might be a small, localized event that's significance isn't realized until years later in hindsight, or it can be something so dynamic, so earth-shattering, that it changes professional wrestling overnight, and nothing is ever the same again.
True Glory Wrestling is about to become Ground Zero for just one such event, the in-ring debut of 'Sinister' Steve Canyon.
Now... I realize that sounds like bravado. I realize that no one... no one in this promotion, no one in this business even knows who I am right now. But they will. See, this is the culmination of years upon years of training and discipline. I will be the biggest thing this sport has ever seen, and I'm willing do do whatever it takes to see to it.
So why True Glory?
It had to start somewhere. It might as well be here. As far away from my element, as far away from my comfort zone of NYC as I could get without leaving the continental United States. Here, where I am friendless and alone. Here, where I have no one but myself to rely on.
Just the way I like it.
It's me against True Glory, with absolutely everything at stake. I'll go through every man, woman and child on this roster in order to claim what is rightfully mine, and Zach, if that means I have to end your career before it even gets started, than so be it.
Let me explain something to you all right now. I trust no one but myself. I have no allies, and I don't play well with others. I'll shake your hand, and bury a dagger in your back in the same breath. I'm telling you this now so that there is no confusion. I'm telling you this... just this one time... so that you have fair warning.
Not one among you is safe.
Another thing... when you're as much of a lone wolf as I obviously am, it doesn't pay to leave loose ends. It doesn't pay to leave straggler's in your wake, 'cause in this business, everyone... from the most evil bastard like me to the pretty angelic little things your fans adore... they're always looking for a measure of revenge, always looking to get that one loss back with a little retribution.
So to that end, I'm not here for happy, honorable, competitive matches. I'm here to leave a trail of broken bodies in my wake. I'm either gonna cripple you so you can't come after me once I pass you by, or I'm gonna hurt you so bad that you're just too damn scared too.
Do we understand each other?
I'm the alpha male here now, and you can all either get out of my way or get crushed under my wheels. You can't stop the inevitability of me rising to the top of this promotion. But relax... it's not all doom and gloom. See, I'm gonna do what I'm here to do, which is be the absolute King of True Glory, but the silver lining for all of you is that I'm gonna make so much noise and captivate the fans so totally while doing it, that as I climb to the top of this business, I'm gonna take all of True Glory with me.
In other words, I'm gonna break you, but I'll make you famous doing it.
Zach, it sucks to be you. Not just for all of the reasons I just laid out, but because I'm smart enough to realize that all of this is just talk until I back it up, and back it up convincingly. I wonder, are you smart enough to realize what that's going to mean for you? Do you understand what I'm going to have to do to you?
You see, Z... if I do anything less than positively destroy you in the ring next week, using anything and everything at my disposal to do so, than I'll have lost all credibility. So not only can I not fail... I can't even come up a little bit short. Win or lose, Zach, you're gonna be a very lucky man if you manage to walk away from the ring under your own power next week.
You've been warned. All of you.
