The resounding thud of impact echoes around the arena as the fans jumps to their feet, the wrestler known as Appius Macros Vitruvious had finally locked in his families traditional submission move on the unfortunate opponent George Duke. Their entangled bodies fall to the ground as Macros continues to apply pressure to the face of his opponent, squeezing that legendary black glove tighter and tighter ever second, finally the referee in control is unable to get any sign of life from the fallen Valor Champion. POW referee McElroy drops to his knees and raises the arm of George Duke, he drops the arm from the air and it connects with canvas bouncing slightly.
McElroy: One...
McElroy grabs the arm of George Duke a second time and raises it into the air, it falls to the canvas once again. McElroy looks around the crowd who have all risen to their feet in anticipation, he raises two fingers up into the air.
McElroy: Two...
McElroy grabs the arm of George Duke for the final time, if the arm hit’s the canvas for the final time this match would be conceded over. McElroy raises the arm into the air then lets go as it falls through the air to bounce on the canvas, the crowd go crazy as Reck Maverick starts to enter the ring jumping and celebrating.
McElroy: Three…ring the bell, ring the bell.
Referee McElroy calls for the bell as he tries to separate the Legion Soldiers legendary black covered hand from its smothering position across the face of George Duke. The sound of the bell ringing around the arena brings Macros out of his state of focus back to the reality of the referee tugging at his arm, he lets go of his Vitruvious Claw hold letting the referee check on his fallen opponent. The ring is bouncing below his feet as too his left his tag team partner Reck Maverick is bouncing around the ring with his Blade of Legend drawn and slicing through the air pumping up the crowd into a roar of celebration.
Macros stands over his opponent not just for tonight but also their match within two weeks at All In, the Valor Champion is sprawled over the canvas passed out by the pressure of the Vitruvious Claw. The self proclaimed “manager of champions” Riley lifts the arm of his client into the air as the camera swivels around their position standing together in a display of victory and dominance over their opponent. The POW logo flashes across the playback fading into the backstage corridor of the Ameristar Casino home to the weekly wrestling events produced by Tito Capaci. The POW interviewer Greg Kilgreen is situated in front of the camera smiling broadly as they come back on air, the cream panted bricks of the wall behind him shine slightly from the florescent lights above the interview crew.
Greg Kilgreen: Ladies and Gentlemen the footage just air was that from two weeks ago at the 3-8-07 Road to All In presentation right here in the Ameristar Casino. That night not only marked the beginning of the tag team of Macros & Maverick with their first victory but also a show of dominance over both of their opponents for First Rights. As it has recently been announced, Reck Maverick, will be participating in a grudge match at All In against the sinister Jason Dread…while his tag team partner Macros is scheduled to compete in Valor Championship action against the current champion George Duke.
Unfortunately we could not get a hold of Reck Maverick for an interview, but instead I have the…pleasure…of introducing my guest today, the self proclaimed “manager of champions” Riley and his client the “Legion Soldier” Macros.
Greg Kilgreens broad smile deflates as the two men enter the scene, the manager Riley at the head of the two dressed in a pair of track pants and a one of a kind “Macros- submission wrestler” t-shirt created back in the days of the Cross-Continental Wrestling Alliance founded and promoted by Canadian great, Josh Eagles. His client, Macros, is dressed in the same track pants but instead is wearing a loose sweat top with the signs of perspiration under his arms and around the neck showing the signs of having just been training.
Greg Kilgreen: Not in your usual attire tonight Riley?
Riley looks down at his clothes and then quickly snaps his head back up to look into the eyes of Greg Kilgreen.
Riley: For ya information I only own two suits, now it wouldn’t be quit intelligent for me to wear a suit to a training session and get it filthy and gritty with perspiration, think about it Greg.
Greg: Okay…well anyway back to the point in which we’re here for, your client is currently scheduled to wrestle against the brawler and most experienced wrestler in Power On Wrestling, George Duke. But this is no simple match, your client is not only looking to steal the win but also steal the championship belt from the waist of George Duke.
Riley: Steal, what do ya mean steal? For the past month my client has been battling men of greatness in the ring, nay not just battling them but overcoming their greatness and claiming the victory. It’s about time ya see that my client has earn his way towards this opportunity.
Let me take ya back to the very first DVD taping produced by the Power On Wrestling, First Rights, where my client was given the first opportunity to compete for the Valor Championship. A triple threat match pitting the Legion Soldier against two men that have now joined forces Big Ci & Lance Erickson, the smaller of the trio my client found himself against the odds against a duo weighing at a combined 600 pounds. Alas they thought they would team up on my client eliminating him from the odds, but to their disbelief my client kept on rising to the challenge of the two…every time they knocked him down he would rise again the only thing keeping him standing was his will to survive and win which lies deep in my clients heart. But of course we all now know how that match turned out, one of those three hundred pound men found themselves on the receiving end of a triangle choke and hand no other choice but to tape out.
But instead of having the championship handed to him in a single match, unlike others in this promotion there stood more obstacles in which my client had to overcome before it stood fit for the championship to be placed around his waist. With the security of a possible championship match balancing on the future of my client he was forced to wrestle against his would be tag team partner, Reck Maverick, a match which balanced the loss of both the championship and tag team opportunities in which not only my client had worked for but the months of preparations that I had put in. Yet to the credit of the duo now known as M & M , Macros and Maverick stole the show and the hearts of the fans as they battled each other in an effort to secure the spot for All In. By the end of the second “Road to All In” show my client defied the odds in which people pitted against him and delivered the Roman Salute to the throat of Reck Maverick, that day my client pinned the shoulders of Reck Maverick to the canvas for the comfortable three count…a feat in which no other wrestler in the Power On Wrestling has yet to accomplish.
Riley goes silent to give the accomplishments his client had acquired on the Road to All In, sink into the minds of the people that may be listening. Greg Kilgreen thinks this is the opportunity for him to ask another question, though before he can inhale the air to breath Riley swoops the palm of his hand up to cover the interviewers mouth into silence. As he lowers his palm from the mouth of the interviewer he clenches all his finger together except for his index finger, moving it forward and backwards in the sign of disobedience you would get from a parent or person of power the manager continues to talk.
Riley: Despite the accomplishments in which my client has overcome on the Road to this opportunity ya still think he is stealing this championship? Even though just before this interview commenced exclusive footage was shown from the only confrontation between my client and George Duke, exclusive footage of my client putting his elderly competitor to rest with the Vitruvious Claw. Exclusive footage of my client, Appius Macros Vitruvious, standing defiant in his victorious stance over the limp and defeated body of George Duke.
Ya see Greg its about time that George Duke looks at what his career has become, it’s about time he look at the career in which has become of his idol Terry Funk, a man that is crippled with injuries and by coming to the ring both endangers his life and those men he wrestles with. What am I getting at ya may ask? Retirement, plain and simple as it sounds, undoing the laces on ya boots and hanging them up for the last time. Ya see Greg when it comes down to the point where ya have to be endangering the lives of your competitors in the ring when ya obviously not at your physical nor mental best ya have to think of retirement. When it comes to the point in which ya have to steal a batten from the men that uphold our law, to drive it into the skull of your opponent to get the victory…ya have to be thinking about retiring soon. Greg even I found the day in which my body could not continue it’s competition in the ring, being the man in which I am I gave up the opportunity to wrestle due to the ever so obvious fact that age was catching up with me. All In comes the time in which even George Duke will have to hang up his boots for the last time.
It is undeniable that George Duke still finds it capable to brake the rules, to swing a chair or baton to secure the win in his mind. It is also undeniable that George Duke still has the performance abilities to break the jaw of a criminal behind bars, a gang of mindless thugs or an elderly man only able to walk with the aid of a wooden cane. But I ask ya, would George Duke have what it takes to stand toe to toe, between the ropes with a man that is a revolution upon the scene of professional wrestling? Does the old Duke have what it takes to stand as the wall to repel the youth of the world that will come for his championship? Ya just have to look at my client, Appius Macros Vitruvious, to see that he is the revolution that has been rolling through the masses of Power On Wrestling. Whether ya look at his 5-0 record in POW and his undefeated recorded in past federation, or ya look at his ever so impressive wrestling ability between those ropes…as all the men have in the past ya will realize that Appius Macros Vitruvious is in a class of his own, a class in which even the old-school George Duke can not compete against.
After giving out his speech Riley lowers his index pointed hand from the face of Greg Kilgreen and decides to stare into the camera in an intent of intimidation. Greg Kilgreen takes the opportunity of silence from the manager to throw in another question.
Greg Kilgreen: So behold if your client truly is this revolution and class of wrestling in which you state he is, what exactly is Macros going to do when he wins this Valor Championship? A celebration perhaps?
Riley looks at Greg Kilgreen with a smile stretching broadly across his face, the interviewer leans the microphone towards the mouth of the self proclaimed “manager of champions”.
Riley: Oh there wont be any time for celebration Greg. The victory at All In is just the first destination in which my client is striving for, the week following the DVD Taping my client and his tag team partner Reck Maverick will be looking to place their eyes of the prize of POW Tag Team championship gold. M & M are looking to be the first tag team champions in which this promotion will see. Unlike the teams that may get the opportunity at All In by stealing the gold, Macros & Maverick are going to strive to win the belts in the ring the true competitive way, by pinning their opponents shoulders to the canvas for the count of three. Then with the accomplishment of both Valor Championship and Tag Team Championship belts around his waist and shoulder my client will find himself at another destination in his career, the point in which Appius Macros Vitruvious makes Power On Wrestling history by becoming the first man to hold consecutive championship belts
So after accomplishing such things what will be next for the Legion Soldier? Ya see unlike George Duke, the Valor Championship is not the true destination in which my client strives for. Unlike George Duke I do not wish for my client to sit on his backside and wait for a challenger for the Valor Championship, it’s not going to happen. Ya see my client is going to be hunting for the head of the big dog in the Power On Wrestling, the Valor Championship is considered in the Power On Wrestling as the number one contendership to the POW Champion himself, Shawn Stevens. George Duke got his chance at wrestling against Shawn Stevens, he lacked the talent so he fail miserably, hence why he was replaced as a challenge with newcomer Danny Danielson. My client on the other hand, is in a class of his own, my client has the abilities which I truly believe can overcome that of the Sensational Shaun Stevens. That’s why when the time rises for a competitor, my client will hand back his soon to be Valor Championship to the hands of Tito Capaci, cashing one form of championship gold for the opportunity to move on to much larger things.
Greg Kilgreen: So your saying that your willing to challenge the POW Champion, Shawn Stevens, after this weeks DVD Taping All In?
Riley: Yes. Once my client has reached the destinations in his career in which I believe are needed before he can challenge Shawn Stevens, he will claim the victory. Once my client holds both Valor Championship and Tag team Championship belts I shall announce his willingness to challenge the POW Champion.
This weekend at All In, my client will use the career of George Duke as a statement for his POW Championship opportunity, by claiming the victory over George Duke not once but twice, my client will have what it takes to go further than George Duke could dream of in his non-title match against the champ. Just as he will show this weekend, Macros will take the title from the man that has currently been warming it up for his reign on the top, the championship gold will find it’s home around the waist of the Legion Soldier.
Riley gives a final stare into the camera lens before making his way past the POW interviewer, his client following in his footsteps. Riley and his client Macros make their way out of the Ameristar Casino to their rusted mini parked in the carpark, there next destination being their first introduction to their potential future home in Kansas City.
