**--The scene opens up inside the Trinity College Rec Center Gymnasium in Washington DC where a capacity crowd of 300 people fill the place and are exuding excitement! That of course could be the result of either they being excited for the new product that DC has produced or the fact that there’s a beautiful, buxom blonde standing in the middle in the ring. With an apparent English accent she begins to speak--**
“Ladies and gentlemen…welcome to Capital City Wrestling’s Epic Encounters!”
**--A huge pop from the audience--**
“Here in CCW we have a wide variety of wrestling talents, personalities and a wide range of expertise from new talent with little experience to legendary wrestlers who have been all around the world!”
**--Another huge pop from the audience--**
“And my first interview as a Capital City Wrestling interviewer, I get the distinct honor and privilege to interview a Hall of Famer in in his own right. He is a former multiple time World Heavyweight Champion, a Grand Slam Champion, a Hall of Famer…he was destined to be the last OCW Heavyweight Champion before it closed its doors…”
**--Some heat starts up before she even finishes her sentence--**
“Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, the one…the only… ‘The King of Sexy’ himself… ‘The Franchise’ Jonny Cedrone!”
**--A lot of heat resonates through the Rec Center as “Perfect Strangers” by Deep Purple plays over the speaker system. Walking through the curtain, wearing a pair of black dress pants, a nice white t-shirt and sporting his shades, Jonny Cedrone stands just outside the curtains with his hands on his hips, looking out at the crowd with a grin then shakes his head in disgust. All the way down the aisle, he agitates the fans, even as he climbs the steps. He makes a few steps along the apron before stopping to wipe his feet and enters into the ring. After playing to the crowd some more, he finally stops and stands at the side of Emma Madison, lifts up her hand with the mic in it, up to his mouth--**
“Cut the music!”
**--Like well-trained monkeys, the music player stops the music which makes Cedrone smile, laugh and say something to Emma before she puts the mic back up to his mouth--**
“That’s when you know you have power…when you get things done with the snap of your fingers! Ha ha ha!”
**--Heat from the fans--**
“Emma, what a fine looking specimen you are. How are you doing tonight?”
“Why thank you! I’m well, how are you?”
“I am oh so good! Can ya feel it in the air?”
“Feel what?”
“Can ya feel the excitement?”
“Yes I can actually.”
“Can you feel the electricity?”
“It’s so thick, you can cut it with a knife.”
“Can you feel…the disappointment?”
**--Heat--**
“Disappointment?”
“A travesty has befallen the wrestling world Emma.”
“What is that?”
“‘The Franchise’ was beaten by a midget and failed to take home the UWL Heavyweight Championship!”
**--A big pop from the fans--**
“Yeah I bet all of you silly bastards are happy to hear that aren’t ya?”
**--Some more pop--**
“‘The Franchise’ might’ve lost this time but rest assured…each and every one of you…‘The Franchise’ WILL take make his presence known in the UWL and he WILL take home UWL gold…one way or another! A guarantee from yours truly!”
**--Heat--**
“Jonny, it seems that your reputation has preceded you here to Capital City Wrestling! Just as your music hit, the fans erupted in hatred for you. What caused that reaction?”
“The fans can’t stand to hear the truth and every time ‘The Franchise’ has opened his mouth, truth has always found its way from my mouth to their ears. In the Outlaw Championship Wrestling, when ‘The Franchise’ came onto the scene, I told the entire world that I would become the headliner, the main event, The Franchise of that company and I did exactly what I set out to do. Hell, in my first match I beat their Heavyweight Champion at the time. I would’ve laid claim to the Championship if the place hadn’t shut its doors. They couldn’t stand the fact that a man with such great talent, a man that knows the truth and speaks it well each and every time he opens his mouth, they couldn’t stand that a man with my caliber was about to become the Champion of the place, so they closed their doors. So what does The Franchise do? He goes and he finds another place to take control of, he goes and finds another place to mold and to shape with his own hands, and tonight starts yet another journey to become ‘The Franchise’ of another young company. Tonight, I set off on my journey to ring in a new era. The era of CCW! CCW stands for wrestling and everything that professional wrestling is! It’s kick ass, take names and accept no cheap imitations. CCW will bring the sport of professional wrestling back to the forefront where it rightfully belongs! No frills, no glitz, no glamor, just raw, pure, and badass! And with ‘The Franchise’ on the roster, they can’t go wrong!”
“And tonight, it’s the experienced vs. the greenhorn as you, a man of many years of experience and world renown as a true competitor in the sport of professional wrestling, face off against a man that is essentially new to the business in Desmond Knight.”
“Desmond Knight comes from a family of wrestlers and has gone to great trouble to be properly trained, Knight is no fool. The thing of it is…he needs the proper training to step into the ring with The Franchise. I could go down my long list of accomplishment and success stories but…ya know…I don’t like to toot my own horn…”
**--Jonny looks up at the crowd with a smirk as they give him a chorus of boos--**
“But I will say this…Desmond Knight…tonight you step into the ring with one of the most technically sound wrestlers that has ever laced up a pair of boots. Tonight you stand toe to toe with a wrestler that has the ability to adapt to any…and I mean any style of wrestling you can throw at me. The Franchise stands for wrestling because that’s what I do best, but if you wanna switch it up and you wanna have a fist fight…I’ll throw down with ya. If you wanna throw some aerial moves in there, I can fly higher than the eagles. The fact of the matter is that I can do anything in this sport, so there’s nothing that you can throw at me that I won’t be ready for! I guarantee ya!”
**--Heat-**
“Can ya feel the love?”
“These fans may not like my actions, but there’s something that they can ALL agree on…and that’s the fact that whenever The Franchise steps into a wrestling ring, he puts on a wrestling clinic…he puts on the single most greatest match on the card…they never go home disappointed…NEVER!”
**Heat--**
“They just hate to admit it.”
“Desmond Knight, you consider yourself the ‘Perfect Specimen’ and you probably are…you have a million dollar body…but the question isn’t about how you look…it’s about your ability inside this ring. Here in just a few moments, we all get to see just how ‘perfect’ you are. We’ll see how good of a job you’ve done in honing and perfecting your wrestling skills. But I have a question for ya Desmond…do ya feel that? Your stomach twisting and turning, all up in knots. Those are butterflies Desmond…butterflies the size of Boeing 777’s. You’re a nervous wreck, thinking to yourself, wondering to yourself, ‘Did I make the right decision?’ ‘Should I have signed on for this match?’ ‘Should I have trained more before coming to Capital City Wrestling?’ Tell me Desmond…how are ya feeling now? Are ya still your cocky self? Are ya still that confident? If you get the win tonight, you’ve beaten the best this business has to offer, you’ve done good. But if you lose, you can’t feel bad, you’ve been beaten by the best this business has to offer. It’s a gamble that we all take at one point in our careers, to test ourselves, to see if we truly have what it takes to take care of business in this great sport of professional wrestling. Some of us succeed, some of us fail…but it’s what we do after these opportunities that defines our careers. So tell me Desmond….are ya sure you’re ready? This is everyone’s first match with Capital City Wrestling, but as The Franchise of this company, as The Franchise of this sport, I will not walk out of this ring as the loser. I have a name to protect and a reputation to uphold. So I know I’m ready for this match….but are you?”
**--“Perfect Strangers” blares over the pa system once more as the fans shower Cedrone with boos as he plays to them before leaving the ring.--**
