Backstage during the show (o2a)

["The Soldier" Carson Freedom]

The plane ride was decent and the cab ride to the hotel was alright. He just wanted to be in Chicago. He had waited too long to make his return but he knew he would have to start out slow. He sat in the hotel room after unpacking a bit. He didn’t know what he wanted to do at the moment. Now that he thought of it, Mayhem, one of the GCW’s shows, was going to begin in a little bit. Since he was a soon to be wrestler for the business he thought he would make his way to the show and hang out backstage. It was a good thing the arena was within walking distance from the hotel which meant he wouldn’t have to call another cab. At some point he would have to find a place and rent a car or perhaps buy one. So without wasting any more time he grabbed a few items and left the hotel.

After walking a few blocks he had reached the GCW arena. The building was very nice. It looked much better in person than it looked online. He made his way to the front door and entered the arena. Fans were filing into the arena and getting their seats before the show began. He then began making his to the backstage area. He was quickly stopped by security.

"Sir you may not go back there. Only wrestlers and authorized personal are allowed backstage."

"Don’t worry about it man. I’m a soon to be wrestler here. I’m gonna be signing my contract next month. I’m on the list so it’s cool man."

"Name please."

He quickly turned his head to the security guard. He then removed the hood from his head. Some fans had shifted their attention to this man. Whispers could be heard throughout the crowd. He then answered the security guard.

"Carson Freedom"

He then moved past the security guards and made his way backstage. He heard some small cheers coming from the arena entrance. It was a good feeling for him to know that he still had some fans. He was surprised people actually remembered who he was. He continued on backstage with a smile on his face. He made his way into a common area where there were leather seats, a big screen HD televisions, newspapers, magazines, and vending machines. He took a seat in one of the plush leather seats and grabbed a newspaper. The show hadn’t begun yet so he began reading more information about the GCW.

[Joe Bruiser]

Joe was seen down at the ring talking to some of the ring workers and having a good ol time. There laughing and wrestling and joking all about. He is wearing a red muscle shirt, his usual sky blue boxing shorts, and his red sunglasses. Joe does not have a match at Mayhem since he is a Lock Up Superstar. But, he always likes to come and joke around with some of the guys. Joe RARELY misses a GCW show weather he is on it or not. Joe gives the guys a hand shake and decides to head on and walk around the arena. As he is walking he hears some VERY early fans cheering his name and screaming his name and all. He looks up and waves. As he does he sees a face that he remembered seeing when he went and visited Amanda Wallace a few days ago. The man was already here? Joe liked that, all he saw was a bio paper with this mans face on it. Carson something was his name but he couldn't quite remember what it was since it was not his business to see what Miss Wallace was doing. Joe decides to head on up there to go have a chat with him. Usually it takes people 2 or more weeks before they arrive the first time to get ready, This man was already here, and ready to begin. Awesome Sauce thought Joe, as he arrived at his destination.

[glow=blue,2,300]Wassup man? Didn't expect to see you here this early on.[/glow]

Joe removes his sunglasses and takes a seat, He looks over and holds his hand out.

[glow=blue,2,300]Joe Brady also known as Joe Bruiser....[/glow]

Joe waits for a response.

[Justin Sane]

~As Carson Freedom sits in the common area reading in his seat, and Joe stands before him. Another man enter the room. Seeing that he is not late for the show. He smiles as he's glad he has not missed any of the action. This is scouting for him. Scouting out the competition here in GCW he wants to see where he stands among them. After being deep in his own thoughts. He finally realizes that he is not alone. Looking over his shoulder is spots two men behind him. One seating down reading, and the other standing. So he decides to make conversation with them. ~

~Walking up to the man he clears his throat and says..... ~

Hello sirs. I am Justin Sane a rookie he in GCW just looking to break through. You know....show the world what I have to offer. What about yourselves. Are you a wrestlers or just observers of the sport?

["The Soldier" Carson Freedom]

Carson reads on last sentence from an article in the paper. Soon after reading the article, one man enters the room followed by another. First the man known as Joe Bruiser spoke out to him. Before Carson could answer in return the other guy spoke out. Carson let him say what he wanted before he himself spoke out. He placed the newspaper down on the table beside him and stood up from the seat which he sat in.

"What up fellas? It’s nice you meet ya’ Bruiser and Sane. I go by the name of Carson Freedom if ya’ didn’t know. But yeah man I came early to scout out the competition and to meet a few of the others wrestlers. I was placed on the Mayhem roster so I gotta check out the other peeps on the roster. What’s goin’ on with you guys?"

[Justin Sane]

~ Sane grin as look at Mr. Freedom. He then checks out the guy next him with the big red fro, and laughs to himself. Turns but to Carson and says to him. ~

How interesting Mr. Freedom. Because I too am on the Mayhem roster, and I have also came here to scout out GCW's talent. Intriguing. Intriguing indeed. So is there anyone in particular you can to scout or are you just trying to get a general idea of where you stand here in GCW?

["The Soldier" Carson Freedom]

"Yeah man I think Mayhem will be where it’s at this year. There are a lot of big names on the roster. It’s the same on the Tap Out side but we’ll see how things go. I’m expecting to do big things once I sign my official contract come next month. To answer your question, no there isn’t anyone in particular that I’ll be scouting tonight. I’m here just to get a general feel of how things are run around here. Ya’ here what I’m saying? Actually there is one fella that will be in action tonight that I crossed paths with in another business. Johnny Phoenix. He’s got to be one of my biggest enemies. I don’t know how it’s gonna be here but I can pretty much guess that it’ll be the same. What about you? You scouting anyone in particular?"

[Justin Sane]

A smirk comes across his face...No sir. I didn't come here to scout anyone any particular. Like you....I was just trying to get a feel for things around here.

~ Sane rubs his chin as if thinking of something. A smile comes across his face as he says his next statement. ~

So you say this guy Johnny Phoenix is like your rival from your previous employer. Is he any good? As a wrestler I mean. Will he be any competition here in GCW? Or maybe....He folds his arms....he was just little to much for..You..to handle. But I don't know. I could be wrong in my last statement. I apologize for make that state since I never either of you wrestler before.

But Mr. Freedom......I Do look forward to it.

~ Justin grins as he takes a side glance at the quite guy next to him with the big red fro. Then focuses back on Carson wonder how he may react to his comments. ~

[Joe Bruiser]

[glow=blue,2,300]Johnny, huhhhh...what can I say about him. I have only met him once but when we did it was probably one of the strangest times of my life. The guy seemed so composed on himself that he was pretty much directing his own musical if ya get what I mean. Nice to meet you both, Sane, Freedom, I am on Lock Up but I'll be watching you two to see where you go from here. Its funny haha, my first couple of federations I fought for I also went to every event and watched everybody. I also wanted to learn some new stuff since I was still a rook. But to answer your question Justin, yeah, Johnny will be tough. I guess Carson already knows haha, I haven't known him all that long but when a guy backstage is so full of himself then all you gotta know from there is he won't be much different when he's in the ring.[/glow]

Joe looks around as he waits for a response from either.

["The Soldier" Carson Freedom]

Carson finally responds after listening to what the two guys had to say.

"I’d say that Phoenix is decent. He has his times where he is good and others when he just plain sucks. I’ve hated him since the first day I met him really. I never really liked his attitude. I was in a faction with him early on but I left it cause the two running it were idiots. But yeah I’m not gonna talk about him anymore. If our paths cross once again then so be it. It will be the past over again."

Carson then turns his attention to Justin.

"I look forward to seeing you in action also. I’m here to scout and well I heard that you were placed in a dark match tonight. Ya’ better get ready man. This is your shot to start off with a bang man."

[The Golden Prodigy]

In walked The Prodigy of professional wrestling, Sylas Styles. He wasn't booked for MayheM, but he shared the same sentiments of scouting potential opponents.
He greets the men as he walks in, taking a seat.

Mr Bruiser, Mr Sane, a new face for the company, good to see you.

And it certainly is a treat to see you too, Mr Freedom. Our past certainly dictates a potentially great future here in GCW. Especially with the right allies, hmm?

Turning his attention back to the new comer, Justin Sane

I believe you should get a move on, your about 10 minutes from making your debut to the fans. Best to test the reactions, cheering you, or booing you, these fans, like it or not, make or break a career. So long as you keep them like puddy in your hands, and you can manipulate their emotions, your career will last longer then some other guys around here, like a certain Mr Briggz who bit the dust and is in the unemployment line as we speak.

Maybe losing to me is bad luck for Chicago... hate to lose so many employees in such little time, but winning is a virtue, and I, I am the Alpha and Omega of this business. Two sides to everything, two sides to play. Win and your a winner, hated for your gain. Lose, and your just a name, at someone elses gain.

Riddles.. always with the riddles. He enjoyed getting into peoples heads with his philosophical mumbo jumbo, but the man sure was intelligent beyond his years.

[Joe Bruiser]

[glow=blue,2,300]Well Styles pleased to meet your acquaintance.[/glow]

Joe gets up and leans over to give Sylas a hand shake.

[glow=blue,2,300]Nice to have you here with us man.[/glow]

["The Soldier" Carson Freedom]

Soon after speaking, the man himself Sylas Styles had entered the scene. The legend has made his appearance. He began speaking and Carson listened to what he had to say. When he mentioned the past he knew exactly what he was speaking about. A smirk appeared on Carson’s face as he waited for Sylas to complete his speech.

"Well Sylas, it’s good to see ya’ too man. It’s been a long time. I couldn’t agree more with what ya’ just said about our past. Now tell me, how have ya’ been?"

[Justin Sane]

~ Sane observers the room now with a new face in it. The man know as The Prodigy. Sane did know of him. He'd never seen him in action of course so he didn't know if he was all he was said to be. He only known what he'd had in the Wrestling school he was apart of and graduated from. Mr. Styles was a man to learn from. He was what all newcomers should strive to be. Was what he was told back there, and here he was in the flesh. ~

~ To bad Sane had a match to prepare for. He really wanted to pick his brain, and see what he could learn. This was Justin big break at the big time. An he did what to waste it or mess it up with his temper. He was prepare well how, when, and where to unleash his fury. An tonight was a night to unleash it. He returned his attention back to the men in front of him. ~

Well it seems as if I have a match that only I didn't know about. I guess Miss Wallace couldn't wait to see what I had to offer. Seeing that this is my first professional match. I hope I don't disappoint. Well if you will all excuse me as Mr. Styles said I really should be getting ready for my debut to the scene.

~ Sane turns to Mr. Styles. ~

And Mr. Styles I hope we meet again. I think I could learn a lot from you.

~ An with a devilish smile Justin Sane turns and exit the room. Walking down the halls to the entrance of the GCW arena. Sane was glad he'd brought his wrestling gear with him. Just in case of course. Now was his time to make a good first impression. The question now was could he. ~
