The Action Wrestling Television title sits at the end of a hotel bed, its gold plate reflecting the perfect white as snow sheets below it. Groaning can be heard somewhere in the hotel room, but not any kind of sounds of ecstasy.
“Don’t be a bloody baby, you prat!” Tessa’s voice doesn’t come off at all in a calming manner.
“You’re trying to rip off muh bloody arm here! What do you want me to do?!” Johnny Eden, just not so fresh off his successful title defense, shows his own frustration with the aftermath and his arm pain.
A loud crack can be heard followed by a series of curse words, not at all audible in any form of English we’ve ever heard.
“There! It’s reset, now rub some dirt on it and you’ll be fine, luv!” Tessa walks into view softly laughing to herself and shaking her head wearing a black crop top cut And Still Television Championship t-shirt and a pair of black yoga pants.
“I just finished going to hell and back with bloody Muru and you’re gonna laugh off my pain?” Johnny walks in, shirtless in a pair of black joggers rubbing at his arm and shoulder and groaning a bit as he circles his TV title.
“The job got done and you showed true resilience out there against a man you and I both know has more drive than half the competitors in that locker room. He doesn’t call it quits easily and you knew it was going to be an all out war out there, but you made him TAP. You showed how much of a true technician you can be and dare I say, it was bloody brilliant that you pulled out Unger Stein’s London Dungeon to put Muru away. I bet the old battle goat spat his pint out seeing you do his move on the biggest stage in this business.” Tessa smiles ear to ear and Johnny picks up his TV title and puts it over his shoulder. “So, you wanna talk about the elephant in the room, eh?”
Johnny slowly nods and takes a seat in the brown leather hotel chair in the corner of the room. “The Final Evolution they said… So does that make me the final Action Wrestling Television Champion? Because after the shite I went through to continue to hoist this title on my shoulder, they’re going to have to pry it from my dead fingers. I’ve proved that I am the rightful ring bearer to carry the WORKHORSE division and this changing of the guard isn’t going to put an end to that.”
“I’ve heard it is out with the old and in with the new, just like any other business where changes are inevitable, you are a proven hand out there, I’m not worried one bit on what is to come. You just gotta stay focused and you gotta fight like you already do out there. Let them line’em up and you’ll take’em down, it’s as easy as that. You’ll obviously have the likes of Muru still sniffing you out and you’ll have TJ Alexander looking to propel himself after his victory over Jacob Koenig. Or it may be some newcomer who wants to make a name for themselves with the rise of Discovery Pro Wrestling.”
“Tess, what do I pay you again?” Johnny playfully smirks.
Tessa rolls her eyes and laughs, “Not nearly enough, but I’m here to be the voice of reason and to keep your head on straight for you. If you’re still not sure of what to expect with this change, just know that you and I were sitting in an airport having this same kind of conversation before we crossed the pond for Action Wrestling and you showed the entire world that it was the best decision you ever made… Now, continue to show everyone why you are London’s Best Export and you are THEIR Television Champion.”
Johnny nods along and pats on his TV title with a smile. “Discovery Pro Wrestling… A new landscape, but still the heartbeat that was built on the backs of the workhorses like The Saint Johnny Eden. I like that and you’re right, bruv. We were just in this same kind of mindset before we crossed the pond and look at what we’ve done since. We’re just gonna continue to prove why I am what the Television Title division needs, whether I carry this with me or not, it won’t stop me from being the workhorse that this industry needs.”
“Bloody right, luv.”
