Memories
Ragnarok was happy. The curtain call was getting closer by the minute. As he arrived at the arena and saw everyone including Chris Page it hit him. The surprise no one saw coming except those two men. It was carefully thought out to make everything perfect. All the chaos beforehand leading up to what would be the ultimate curtain call on his full-time wrestling career. However, what people didn't realize is that he had enough in the tank for the biggest tournament to exist in the industry. Being honest with himself the odds were against Ragnarok luckily he was a betting man and this tournament was house money for him. The expectations were low but momentum would be the deciding factor.
Present Day
Ragnarok stood near the Kia Center. He reached down tightening his boots lifting his head a smirk appeared on it.
Nick Danger rumor has it you're a new kid on the block. WGWF will certainly test you in ways no of us could imagine. However, I am the one to set the example and standard going forward do you understand. I know you've been battling hard to make a splash in this company and what bigger way then to compete in the Cannabis Cup. Even though I'm a veteran of this industry I was in a similar spot last year. I heard the rumors and jumped at the chance to shock the world. I fell just short of the prize but Nick I gained so much knowledge competing that it changes you literally. I walked into the tournament an arrogant man and walked out humbled and blessed. Do you k ow what monsters exist within the tournament. Look no further then yours truly. I've seen how you handle yourself backstage and it's a weak confidence.
He rose up stomping his boots into the ground. He turned and walked toward the crowd of people waiting to get in and attend a special press conference.
You see Nick when my name is mentioned people show up. It doesn't matter where or when the fans understand I mean business. They want to be part of the magic that is Ragnarok. They want to hear what I have to say about whoever the hell I please.
The crowd noticed him and cheered. Some even cried his retirement still fresh in the mind of some. As he walked on stage ad stood before the faithful followers of WGWF he took a microphone and spoke.
Thank you everyone for showing up. This isn't a typical press conference. I'm giving three lucky fans a chance to ask me anything they want. I would ask that you keep it around the Cannabis Cup as that's my main focus please.
Ragnarok took a seat and looked out into the crowd. He picked a young man in the corner trying to blend in. The man seemed surprised but as a microphone was given to him he took a deep breathe and spoke.
Eddie: My name is Eddie. I didn't realize I'd be chosen so I don't really have a question lined up. So the only thing I will ask is what is the biggest difference between the Cannabis Cup last year and this year?
Ragnarok: That is a great question young man. I appreciate you pushing through and fighting the nerves. I'm sure it's not the easiest thing to do. To answer your question Eddie I feel it's more then one lesson I've learned. The biggest would be to not underestimate yourself or anyone in the tournament. So many times as athletes we can allow ourselves to get inside our minds. I fought that all year realizing how much advantage I gave to others and still managed too make a deep run. It's an event that can put you on the map no question about it however, it can also derail a career and make you think twice about if you still have what it takes to win clutch games.
He paused and looked around pointing to a sweet lady in the middle of the crowd. She grabs the microphone as the crowd quiets down.
Sarah: My name is Sarah. It's very nice to meet you and it will be difficult not seeing you out there on a regular but I understand. So now that you are rested, retired and ready to compete can we expect anything different from you in the ring?
Ragnarok: Being retired doesn't mean I will lose the desire, the drive or the competition to do this. However, it does allow me to perhaps go back in time ad bring a little Punisher into the new persona of Ragnarok. You all remember those days the television championship, the tag team championships and so much more. The battles I had chiseled me into the guy you all know today. Nick Danger will talk a good game but the little boy has bitten off more then he could chew. I promise he has never been hit harder then my strikes. I'm sick ad twisted and just plain rude. It's time to bring out the Punisher once more and unless the true power that is hidden within.
Sarah sat down and looked at the crowd. Everyone wanted a chance to speak with him. Suddenly a tall man appeared from the shadow of the arena. Rags looked at him.
You there do you wish to speak?
The figure just laughed as he pulled out a microphone of his own.
Mystery: Of course I do. God knows were getting tired of you talking. How about we get down to the fact that you never finish what you start. You run and hide when you don't get your way. Then you find a way to put the attention on yourself with a retirement speech like we have to care all of a sudden. Nick is going to do whatever he wants and you'll hide in the shadows like a bitch.
Ragnarok expression changed. He stood up and spoke loudly.
Listen, I can't help your jealous. Perhaps Nick Danger sent you here to startle me. Good luck with that. I don't want to be the bad guy in this story but your boy will be destroyed. Hell, better yet maybe this is Nick trying to act tough and get under my skin It won't work kid. I've dealt with everything you can imagine in this company and beyond. My life has been absolute hell and I refuse to have anyone judge me. I will never feel bad for doing what it takes to win. I'm going to bring a new level of pain for him to feel so make sure he gets the message. This press conference is over.
OOC: Depression hit me hard this week. struggled to focus and this sucks but it's poste.
