“Your name is out there for the Action Wrestling faithful now after calling your shot for the Havoc match, bruv.” The beautiful mocha skinned Tessa stands in front of the mirror in her hotel room, making sure she looks fierce in her black top and gold necklace speaking over her shoulder to Johnny Eden who’s lying on her bed with his legs draped over the edge of the bottom.
Lazily Johnny replies to her, “Jet lag is real, I don’t know how you’re not feeling it.”
Tessa straightens her necklace and turns toward Johnny. “Did you hear what I said? And yes, I know how to handle jet lag, you muppet.”
Johnny sits up, his white t-shirt a bit wrinkled from how he was laying down. He sits up and tucks his shirt into his black joggers. “I think we should’ve done it live instead of throwing up the vignette, but I guess actions speak louder than words?”
Tessa straightens out Johnny’s shirt, “What you do in that ring, luv, is unmatched, you know that. I have no doubt that this debut match of yours is going to be a show stealer.”
“This is what we’ve worked toward and you know me, I’m not afraid to grind.” Johnny smirks and shrugs as Tessa smacks his arm.
“You could’ve stayed in London, but as you said, we’ve worked toward this very moment. The long nights driving from city to city, staying in the bloody auto. You’ve literally bled for this business and it is that passion that inspires me to work so hard to bring The Saint to the entire WORLD. Do you remember your last match?”
“The viral moment?” Johnny gives an inquisitive look.
“Damn right the viral moment. You were bleeding like a gut pig standing atop that ladder, staring down at the giant Unger Stein lying on a pair of tables. You crossed your heart and threw a prayer to the sky before delivering your Canonization to thousands of flash bulbs… But it was that little boy sitting front row by the entrance ramp, the one wearing The Saint t-shirt with tears running down his cheeks, that gave you the courage to take that leap. Truly, that is what went viral that night, luv.” A few tears build up in Tessa’s eyes and Johnny lowers his head a bit remembering that moment fondly.
“That spot… After giving everything I had in that match, to see that little boy fearing for that conclusion… I couldn’t back down, not in that moment and you’re right, he was the extra push I needed.”
Tessa pats Johnny on the chest. “That right there is the passion you bring to the ring and that is what these Action Wrestling fans are going to eat up. They just need to get to know who The Saint is and you have that opportunity against two men who know what it means to take flight in that ring.”
Johnny nods, “I’ve been keeping an eye on guys like Jaice Wilds and TJ Alexander and you’re right, I’m pretty sure we all cut from the same cloth. Hell, I could see the two of them turning heads within the BritWres scene just as I have been doing all these years. Jaice Wilds has had a decent run, collecting wins and titles along the way from company to company. When he puts his undivided attention on this sport and not get hung up on his ADHD and his real life cluster fucks, he truly is a step above the rest. I mean he just went bell to bell against Tatiana Jolee, who was an Action Wrestling World Champion. Give the bloke his flowers, because I’m sure it wasn’t a cake walk to stand toe to toe with her.”
“Let us not forget about TJ Alexander who is a true competitor in every sense of the word as well. He didn’t go out with a whimper against Muru who just barely came up short in his World title match against 3 of the best World Champion caliber athletes this company has ever had. There’s a reason that Gerald Angelo continues to be champion though, but for Muru to stand out like he did against them, speaks volumes to the heart that TJ Alexander has for standing his own this past Monday Night Clash.” Tessa smiles and her eyes light up a bit. “I look up and down this roster, Johnny and I see we are right where we belong.”
Johnny pulls out his phone and begins to type up a Tweet, and Tessa questions him. “What are you doing?”
“You’re right about the roster and the fact I’m teaming with a seasoned vet like Muru this coming Monday, I figure it is best I let him know the beers are on me after the match. What he brings with his experience from his lengthy career, I’ll make up the rest with my heart and passion.” Johnny smiles from ear to ear.
“Maybe a few of those show stealing maneuvers wouldn’t hurt either, huh?” Tessa chimes in with her two cents.
Johnny tucks his phone away and turns his attention back to Tessa. “TJ Alexander and Jaice Wilds may know what it takes to throw caution to the wind, but my skills in the air are simply divine.”
Tessa jabs Johnny with an elbow. “Cuz, The Saint isn’t just a catchy moniker, am I right?”
“I’m stoked to step into an Action Wrestling ring and test iron against iron with THE BEST this business has to offer. We’ve shown what we could do in the BritWres scene and it is about time we show The States that I am THEE Best Export from London.”
“First, your successful debut at this Monday’s Clash and then we can talk about how you’re gonna steal the whole show at Havoc.” Tessa puts on a pair of designer sunglasses. “Your future here is bright, luv and we’re just getting started.”
“Hmm, you ready, bruv?”
