Punisher was inside a board room. A man sat at the table as he signals for him to have a sit. Punisher didn't say a word just doing what was asked of him. Once he sat down the man spoke with dominance and assertiveness.
Mr. Money: We are not here to play games Punisher. I seek someone who wins. I want someone who will gives it everything they have and hates life. I've focused on you because you fit that mold. I know you have a match against Sonya Benson who in my opinion is overhyped and just thrives on the weak making herself look good. You are in her head she just won't admit it. However, I want to see you take the next level in this match. I want you to send a message and prove to WGWF that Sonya is nothing but another name to you. Your reputation is a man who works alone but consider this. I have a way with words. Money can buy you anything including silence and I have a great deal of it. Just imagine this BRAWL as a coming out party for you Punisher. How does that sound?
Punisher enjoyed the stern nature of the man. They have spoken before but never in depth like this. As he spoke of the future he decided to respond.
Punisher: I truly did not want to be there. I've never been a guy who does what others want. The fans are stupid, authority is overrated, and chaos is amazing. I agree with you about Sonya that she is going to get exactly what is coming with her. She bitches more than anyone I know crying that she never gets her way. She wants to be the face of WGWF but doesn't want to earn it? That doesn't sit well with me. The pathetic version of Sonya we see today is because of me. She is usually organized and very assertive but not now. There is a constant battle of the words with us. If she was truly so great, why would she continue to speak out at me and not take action like me. I've outsmarted her on many occasions and now as owner of WGWF she needs to be careful on how she disrespects me. I don't need money or respect. I just want results. I stopped caring a long time ago about how things were done, and you seem to cut corners which I love. However, how do I know you are not working for Sonya? I wouldn't put it past her.
Mr. Money laughed as he leaned forward.
Mr. Money: Punisher, you got jokes. I'm a businessman. I am here to do what's best for business. I don't feel ladies belong in an industry built for men. Sonya needs to realize her place is at our feet worshiping the ground we walk on. She belongs in the kitchen and not in the ring and that's what you are going to do. No one is going to like what I have to say and won't believe in my 1950's perspective, but do you think I care? Absolutely not.
Punisher: Interesting perspective for sure. I like the idea of ladies in WGWF because they fought for equality, so it gives me great pleasure to beat them the same way I do a man. One fist after another. I get to enjoy the idea of Sonya being knocked down to the bottom having to work her way to the top. I will consider your offer and give you an answer next week. One more thing before I go through. Are you always a man of your word and willing to let me be the leader of this arrangement?
Mr. Money: I am a man of my word. I'm an intelligent guy. I have been in this industry for nearly forty years and my knowledge will do nothing but wonders for you. I want you to walk with swagger and determination. Each week win or lose you will get stronger under my leadership. You will truly know what's best for business and show each opponent what happens when they cross you. The name Punisher will send chills down the spine of fans and talent relations knowing you will do whatever you desire and face no consequences. So, you can believe in us because we will prove who we are. Nothing is going to stop us. We will not be distracted.
Punisher: I needed to hear that. You do not make excuses. You told me exactly what I wanted to hear. I wanted to make sure there was no doubt in your voice. I've had enough of that in my life. Success is not about winning it's about enjoying what you do and although I aim to win this is what I was meant to do. I am going to turn this into a masterpiece. It's time for Punisher to get out of his shell and sell out to the devil himself.
Mr. Money: So, we have a deal?
Punisher: Yes, we do.
Mr. Money: Thank you for your time and you will be hearing from me shortly and as always it will be what's best for business. Before you go let me say this. You are whatever you desire to be Punisher. A name is about how we carry ourselves and being a punisher comes with a lot of pain and hurt. So, let's dig deep this Monday Night Brawl and head into WrestleWars with all the momentum. Who knows what the future holds, but greatness awaits you.
Both men shake hands officially becoming a partnership. This was uncharted water for Punisher, but it has nothing but potential. He leaves the room as Mr. Money hands him a check and shuts the door behind him.
